Tba Stat Board of Equalization was busy all day to day and there n no business to Interrupt. The time wis apent In checking up the railroad return with tboa made by the county clerka of the various counties and considerable ground mat gone over. Gov ernor Mickey waa called from the meeting by my predecessor on the 14th that the test bad been rsised and rot to ship any more oil Into the state that would not come tip to the requirements of the new law. The aaent of the oil company no tified the general office in Chicago, and that office notified the factories In Indiana. I find that Is was Impossible for Iheae order to have gone the rounds,' and the ship ments of oil stopped before April 20. As I had no desire to be arbitrary or to con fiscate goods, I ordered the cars released and pasaed under the old Inspection." Rernrlng t'nlform Report. Instructions were mailed today to the arloua superintendents of state Institu tions to guide them in making out their semi-annual statements.

Omaha and to meet tellers, But a good day's work waa done. The new members of the board are certainly showing a strong inclination to get at the facts and It looks now like the returns of this board will be made upon (he findings. Were It not for the fact that the new revenue law becomes operative in Septem ber and a readjustment of all assessments will have to be made.

Oeneral survey of university member to the long-suffering taxpayer ,!,,, buildings and laboratories by of Nebraska. The fact of the new law, visiting high school students under dlrec- however. may work to prevent a nrecedent tlon of university guides. r i being established for equal distribution of taxes. The Ulnes of Auditor Weston prevented any work being dona yesterday because, a he la the only member of the board who baa had experience In this line, the gov ernor and treasurer did not like the Idea of proceeding without him, even though they had the authority to do so. Today the de liberation of the board were several time Interrupted by part lea calling upon the governor. One thing that speaks well for the new board, however, I the fact that all Ita deliberations are publto and anyone who care to may attend and anyone who has a suggestion to offer may do so. Some talk ha been heard along the line a to why the various advocates of equal taxation have not been before the board to get an even atart with the railroads. Some have asked why the Douglas delegation and the Omaha Real Estate exchange have not been represented. The railroads got In their talks the first day and statement they made are being digested by a board, two member of which have never before had experience In the line of equalizing taxes. They know not how to get at the facts, and yet they appear to be anxious to do so. The railroad have made their talks and have filed their figures to sub stantiate the talks, and It Is time for some one to bring In evidence In rebuttal. The meetings are open and the public has been Invited. The board has shown at least, a disposition to be fair. On the other hand, however, ha been heard the comment that thing are coming to a pretty pass when a lobby by the people baa to be maintained that the people may Get their rights from the official they elect. And It Is heard also that If the board want facta and figure other than those furnished by the railroad It I the duty of the board to get such figures; to the end that Justice may be done all parties. C-ommlaaioner Wrla-ht Reilini. Governor Mickey Is waiting with out stretched arm to welcome him who. will b the new member of the Omaha police board. C. C.

Thl by the grace of the voter at the recent election. Mr. Wright said he recommended no man tor a successor. Governor Mickey ha not appointed a successor and has given the matter no thought; so be announced today. Yesterday he waa not sure that he would be called upon to appoint a successor to Mr. Wright, but that gentleman ha slg nlfled hi intention to resign. From the front door of the capitol to the governor' office there Is no obstruction and the gov. ernor Is a man who Ukes to listen to all Ide. All will be heard. At least every body from South Omaha wa heard.

Ex-State Senator Frank M. Currle comes out a winner In the supreme court In an Interesting controversy with an Ohio cap italist, In wbtch the question of the faith to be given Judgments In sister state is Involved. Mr. Currle was the agent at Sargent of Edward Jaster, sr., of Trumbull r Real Greatness Comes of SSeai Goodnc Geo. W. MM 5c Cigar Bs Generously Good ; McCord-Rrady Co., Distributers, OMAHA. county, Ohio, a man with money to loan. Three 1200 notes that repreaented money of Jaster's that Currle bad placed were not paid by the makers, and Jaster began a suit In the district court of Custer county against Currle, as Indorser, and tbe others as makers. Jaster' attorneys filed notice that they would take depositions In this rase back In Jaster's home town, wLlrh Is close to where Mr. Currle comes from. Currle and his attorney went back to be present at the taking of testimony, but it was all a ruse to decoy Currle within th Jurisdiction of the Ohio courts and as soon s the depositions were taken he was served with summons to defend In the Trumbull county court a cult on Identically the same cause of action as had beea begun In Ne- hrsska. The rase ttere went to the su preme court, Currle specially appearing and denying Jurisdiction. Jaster finally got a Judgment against Currle for $861, and there upon filed a transcript In Custer county and sought to enferce collection. Mr. Currle defended on the ground of fraud In being decoyed to the Ohio Jurisdic tion. He also Insisted that he never owed Jaster anything for the reason that It was sgreed that he should not be liable as en dorser on any note. The supreme court upholds Mr. Currle's contention and over rules the claim of Jaster's attorneys that the rendition of Judgment In the Ohio court settles the case as against the Nebraskan.

In which the plaintiff appealed from a ruling of the lower court to open up a Judgment and per mit the company to defend, a motion to dismiss the appeal Is sustained. The court says: An order setting aside a Judgment or decree, fixing a time for filing pleadings and stttlng cause down for a new trial under section 602 of the Code of Civil Pro cedure is not a final order for which ap peal or error proceedings will He before a trial and a final Judgment. In Rlbble, administrator, against Fur- mln, from Saline county. In which appeal is taken from an order of the district court barring a claim because not filed within six months required by probate law, the court says: A Judgment of the district court on an appeal from an Inferior tribunal, which Is a coincide adjudication so far as the dis trict court Is concerned, so as io leave nothing further to be done In that court.

CASS COUNTY MAN WORKED Answering Matrimonial Advertisement Coitt Him One Hundred Dollari. JOURNEYS TO CHICAGO TO SEE HIS LOVE While Din In In Restaaraat "Injured Husband Appears and Extorts tho Money t'nder Threat of Violence. PLATTSMOUTH. Neb., May 7. (Special.) There Is one man In Cass county whose faith in the promises of tbe matrimonial syndicates, so extensively advertised In the east, has been shattered by his recent costly experience. Henry Schmidt Is the name of the gentleman referred to, who until recently esrned a livelihood by tilling the rich, fertile soil of Cass county, and had' succeeded In saving up a snug little sum of money. Schmidt Is a German, 25 years of age, with a smiling countenance and good natured disposition, which ought to have brought to him better luck. His trouble began one day when a friend loaned him a matrimonial journal published In Chicago. He eagerly scanned the page of small no tices, which set forth flattering Induce ment with a view to matrimony. One of these notice described a beautiful, charm ing young woman In Chicago, and gave a description of the kind of a man .he de sired for a husband. Correspondence be tween the two soon followed, and about a month ago a date was agreed upon whon he would meet her in Chicago and make final arrangements for their wedding. At the railway station he was met by an el derly woman, who at onca accosted him and in a short time convinced him that she was the person he waa looking for. He saw little resemblance between her and that given in the matrimonial notice, but when she Informed him that It waa her daughter who had been corresponding with him and had sent her photo and was ex pecting him, that settled It. An hour or two later, while they were seated at a table In a restaurant, a man, who appeared to Schmidt to be about twice "his size, sauntered Into the place and in a loud tone of voice demanded to know what Schmidt waa doing there with his wife. Had a cannon been exploded In the room It could not have had a more startling effect upon the young man. The woman then re lated a story of her own manufacture, which made things look very dlssgreeable for the young man from Nebraska. To make matter worse, the so-called husband made a number of frightful threats, and finally succeeded In making the young man believe that unless he "shelled" out $100 at once he would be sent to Jail. Schmidt happened to have a little more than that amount and he willingly "dls gorged" in order to retain his liberty. The husband then made a hasty exit, and that was the last Schmidt saw of him, the woman or the $100. York Elects Superintendent. YORK, Neb., May 7. (Special.) The school board last evening elected H.

Demand Changes In Committee While Snp portlns CSovernment on Mo tion Before House. T-nvnON May 7. The Irish land bill todav passed Its second reading in the House of Commons by 443 to 26. j When the debate was resumed in m early afternoon Tim Heaiy mauonaiiau commented on the "curious fact that the only two absolutely Ignorant speeches against the bill came irom me uunui of the House." Referring to the question wuemrr im u.u would make for home rule. Mr. Healy pointed out that the measure was supported by the Ulster members, who, he said, ought to know Its effect better than "English amateur politicians however respectable." Mr. Healy said he did not grudge the terms which the landlords were getting. He would not Incite the tenants to reject them and ridiculed the idea of a campaign of repudiation. It was Impossible with the present system of government. If he wanted to convict the speaker of the house of murder, he would have no dif ficulty in so doing with tho IrUh govern ment machinery in his hands. Mr. Healy said he regarded the bill as being a meas ure of peace, which he hoped would infuse a new spirit into the hearts of Ireland and England. T. P. O'Connor, while criticising its de tails, defended the bill. He said It was no leap In the dark, as peasant proprietorship In Ireland had been mint successful, but the evicted -tenants muat be restored to their holdings. Tbe public, he a'lded, must now choose between a great measure of land rurehase and chaos and anarchy. Morley Demands I onrrulnm, John Morley (liberal) said the bill was a bold and courageous measure and s revo lutionary extension of the land purchakc tytem, but he had never known a bill that could bo so riddled with objections. Its remedies were abnormal, but It was a creature of social neresstty, therefore he would support It. If It failed there would be no more purchases because of the terms now offered by the landlords. The bill had many defective clauses which might entail lis defeat, and It would savs time If the Irish secretary, Mr. Wyndham, would point out what concessions he was prepared to make. Continuing. Mr. Morley said the bill marked the collapse of the system by which England had governed Ireland since tho union and would create fresh problems and Inevitably lead to further changes. He de clared himself tkeptical of the promised re trenchment, as he had always been con vinced that there would be no retrench ment by the roost extravagant government of Europe until Irishmen were made re sponsible and given their own Parliament. In winding up the debate Mr. Wyndham made light of what he called the "bogey of home rule." Ho asserted that tbe act of 1S81 had created a strategic deadlock and that now both parties desired to bury the ancient feud. Was the occasion to be allowed to pass, he asked, because a sim ilar occasion had not arisen In England?
