(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.

doctor about It. He probably has the
formula. He can tell you just how

If your liver is sluggish, bowels

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.)
The examination of William Duquette on
the charge of perjury in connection with
the taking of a deposition In a libel caaa
of Daniels against Hammond and others
here In October last waa held before Jus
tice of tha Peace Dame yesterday and the
defendant waa bound over to the district
court. 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.
