TlfE OjrAITA DAILY J1EE: SUNDAY, ATRTL 20, 1003. SENATOR BROWN IS MODEST Em Two Horail School ia HU District and Aiki far a Third, PRESSURE IN BEHALF OF MURDERER RHEA DliMiifwt fa Lata carter Dlea Ilea Delays tao Appointment a State Oil la. apecter. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Neb., April 25. (Special.) Just at thla time Senator Brown of Keya Paha la under discussion In the office of the atata superintendent. Senator Brown addressed communication to the atata superintendent that tha cltr of Alnsworth, Neb., hla own home city would Ilka to take cara of a Junior normal achool. Tha atate superintendent It wondering what manner of man Brown la. The bill for the establishment of Junior normal achoola placed two of them In the senator's district one at Valentine and one at Alliance. And bow cornea Brown without a blush and asks for a third one. Were It not for the fact that the Are schools bare already been "put," doubtless Mr. Brown would get a third Atii for tha man whn helna hlmaalf (eta others to help him. The schoola are established, or will be shortly, at Alliance, MnCook. Valentine, thla by the legislature, and at Holdrege and North Platte by the atata superintendent. Rhea Awaiting Eaecatloa. William Rhea, age 22 rears, a conrlct In the state penitentiary, lies In a dungeon counting the days until by the decree of the highest court in the state he Is hanged by the neck until dead. But for the Inter ference of Ezra P. Savage, then governor, the man would have paid the penalty of his crime on the scaffold April 24, 1902. At that time he waa given a respite until July 10 of this year. The reason of the respite Oovernor Savage said was in order to allow the legislature to amend the laws relating to pardons and commutation of sentences, he did not believe Rhea should be banged or even " freed. The legislature did not amend the law. Consequently unless Oov ernor Mickey Interferes William Rhea will be hanged on the date named. Rhea was convicted of the murder of Herman Zahn B saloon keeper of Snyder. . But while Rhea paces his dungeon In misery, for he is no longer among those employed, great forcea are at work In his behalf. Many persons who have talked with the man, who are Impressed with the great suffering he has endured since tha com mission of his crime, and who are im pressed with his youth, have appealed to Oovernor Mickey to commute the aentence to . life imprisonment. And aa the time draws nearer to the day of execution, thf pressure will be increased for there ar many, not all of whom are moved by senti ment alone, who will plead in behalf of the doomed man. Whether Oovernor Mickey will Interfere Is a question. While be may Interfere, It Is a known fact that Governor Mickey Is opposed to pardons as a rule. No Oil laapeetor Uatll Taeadsy. r' "The appointment cf an oil inapector will not be made before Tuesday," announced Governor Mickey shortly before noon to day, and Immediately thereafter friends of the numeroua candldatea took a fresh hitch In their trousers and began to renew tho alege. The announcement by the governor waa made after a long conference with Ed Bignell of the Burlington and Attorney Stewart of this city. The reason of the delay la that the Lancaster county dele gat lone cannot agree on a man. This countv will get either a deputy of the chief, and the friends of the candldatea for the posi tion of chief inspector refuse to draw ijff and leave tho field foi one of their number,' and the governor doea not want to appoint until all the factions have at least declared an armed neutrality. While It la not probable, thla fight of the Lan caster people could result In this county losing the chief. And If Lancaster county aid lose It, may be W. O. Templeton of Omaha would atand some chance of being the lucky man. Templeton, It Is said, stands close to the governor and besides he Is an old soldier, which goea a long nay in the eyes of the state'a executive. Lancaster county is very much interested . k. - annnintmAnt hnpftiiRA It means much to certain factlona here In the next county campaign. Ed Church la being backed by the delegation that atood up for D. B. Thompson for United States senator, and which la now In control of the county and city machinery. Fred Beckman, another local man. had been many tlmea a county commissioner and haa a large Oerman fol lowing that It would pay to keep pacified. . J. F. Haya, the present Inspector, haa a portion of the Burlington machine for him and tho other candldatea have their vari ous following. Had tha Burlington ma- k rblna not become divided tha appointment probaoiy wouia nave win maun iuu In the meantime Oovernor Mickey has re ceived a number of letters congratulating him upon tha personnel of the new South Omaha police board. One party wrote that It would mean "the end of saloons, gamb ling confidence men." and Incidentally the writer expressed his opinion of the loose manner In which the governor-appointed police board of Omaha ia running Its busi ness, by saying. "And all tha prostitutes will go to Omaha." The governor left this afternoon for Grand Island, where he will Join the presl ant'a nrtv and accompany It to Lincoln and on to Omaha. Tomorrow afternoon Governor Mickey will speak at the hall of the Young Men's Chrlatian association at Orand Island and will be with tte presi dent at the Soldiers' home that evening. Governor Bad Sta.iT Taar. Tuesday morning the governor and staff and the state officers will go to St. Louis to participate In the dedication of the Loulalana Purchase exposition ground. The staff will consist of Adjutant General Cul ver and Colonels Jenkins, Evans, Bills, Adams, Miles, Dow, Melllck, Shumway, Kaley and Thnmaa. The governor and his party will remain In St. Louis until the mill whistle blows for quilting time, expecting all this to occur In time for them to get back to Lincoln by Saturday, for thla governor's staff likes not to travel on Sunday. Headquarters will be at the 8t. Nicholas hotel. Commlaslon Orgaalies. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition oom- tnlsslon met for the first time today In the office of the governor and organized. O. W. Wattles waa elected president. Matt Miller secretary and C. H. Morrill treas urer and vice president. The coknmie sloners decided not to go to St. Louis with Governor Mickey next Tuesday, because In their opinion it would be a waste of time Insofar aa doing anything for the Nebraska exhibit was concerned. They will go down later, probably within ten days, and look over the ground. When the commissioners get down to work an assistant secretary will be ap pointed to assist the present secretary. Arrangements will shortly be made for someone to go out In the atata and ar range for the growing of products to be used In the state exhibit. The commis sioners have not decided whether build ing will be erected In Bt. Louis. Assessora Bead la Flararaa. Auditor Weston is receiving from the various assessors the value that will be placed on property over the state for as sessment purposes In answer to his re quest sent out some time ago. In some counties at least the assessment this year .will be extremely low, much more so than last year. Cass and Cedar counties will assess land at one-fifth of Us value. Thla will range from $10 to $20 per acre. Cherry, Knox and Dakota will assess at one-third of the value of land, being the highest rate of assessment yet sent In. In Knox county horses are valued at from 13 to 19 and cat tle at one-third of their cash value. Doug las will assets on a sixth of the valuation, Hall county on from one-eighth to one twelfth on all property, and Lancaster pp one-fifth of the valuation. In Holt county hogs will be assessed 30 cents per 100 weight and sheep at 30 cents each. In Buffalo county land owners will pay taxes on land valued at from $1.25 to $6 an acre. Gage county, where land is worth from $70 to $100 an acre, will be assessed at $5 to $6.70 an acre.' Cuming county land, which usually sells at $45 to $100 an acre, la valued for assessment purposes at $5 an acre. Horses in the same county at $6, cattle at $4 and sheep at 50 centa each. . Decisions Delayed. A number of the most Important de cisions of the supreme court are held back for two weeka owing to the absence of Judge Sullivan, who, acting upon the advice of his physician, haa been taking a much needed rest at West Baden. Among the declslona affecting Omaha which have been agreed upon and are temporarily held back Is the Omaha Fire and Police commission case, which It is now known upon good authority will be decided at the next sit ting of the court In favor of the old board. In conformity with the previous opinions of Judges Sullivan and Holcomb. Tha opinion probably would have been filed thla week but for the disinclination on the part of tha Judgea to In any way Influence tha result, of the. Omaha city election. Labor Bsreaa Plane. The Department of Labor and Industrial Statistics has outlined Its plan dt action for the coming blennlum. t Commissioner Bush is very much interested In tha en. forcement of the fire escape law and In tends to devote a great part of his time to this subject becsuse he ' believes that a large per cent of the people, and especially the traveling public, demand soma protec tion in thla regard. He will also give con siderable attention to the Inspection of factories for the enforcement of the child labor laws. The statistical work of the department will receive close attention by Don C. na- paln, chief clerk, and the office force. It is the intention to Issue auarterlv. annual and biennial reports. The quarterly re ports will dwell upon the conditions ex isting in the state regarding the agricul tural interests thereof. The schedules prepared and now In the hands of the State Printing Board will cover more fields of statistics than for merly and the report to be Issued win h as comprehensive as possible concerning me resources and industrial activity of Nebraska. r The f-iture wnual and biennial reports will give close consideration to the fol lowing subjects: Manufactures and wages; meat packing industry; railroad statistics; dairy Industry; flouring and grist mills; labor organisations; report of strikes and lockouts; municipal statistics; ecclesiasti cal, achool and professional conditions; criminal statistics; lodges and . fraternal societies; charity and charitable Institu tions; Nebraska's surplus products, and a report of the auccess of the department In dealing with tha fire escape and labor conditions.

IDENTIFIED AS THOSE OF CHARLES HILl Body of rather, 'apposed to Have Ben Eaerated at tho tamo Time la Mill Mlaa-la. BUTTE, Neb., April 26. Speclal Tele gram.) The mystery surrounding the sud den disappearance of old man Hill and hla son Charles, In 1893, was undoubtedly solved yesterday so fsr aa the latter la concerned, when Charles Dally plowed up a skeleton on his farm which waa located on the south bank of the Niobrara liver In Holt county. The remalaa had been burled face down, evidently In a big hurry and were identified by people who had known him in life. It haa always been pretty well under stood that the Holt county vigilantes made away with the Hills, but up till now no trace of them waa ever discovered and It waa the general supposition that the Tig llarites hung them first and then sunk their bodies In the quicksand of the Niobrara. The incident recalls the fact that tho principal actors In the Barret Scott tragedy, which happened a few miles from where the remains of Charles Hill were found, have nearly to a man left this country. IS COMMITTED FOR PERJURY William Diitt Will Ooaao Before District Court for Trial at Toraa Bearlaalaar Tomorrow. FREMONT. Neb.. April 25. (Special.)

In default of ball he waa committed to Jail. The case attracted considerable attention on account of Ks sensational nature and also by reason of the law points ipvolved. The defense was that as the deposition wu never actually completed and never signed by tha witness, any false statements therein, though made wilfully and with full knowl edge of their untruth, would not constitute perjury. The caao will oome up for trial at the next term of the dlstrlot court which convenes on Monday. The Omaha Mrs. Duquette, supposed to bo Mrs. Duquette No. 2, was in the city yes terday. She seems to entertain no bard feelings toward Dnquette and probably will not file any complaint against him should he be released. Ed neat ore Hoot at North Piatt. NORTH PLATTE, Neb., April 2.
