LINCOLN, Mar 7. (Special.) 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."

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.

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. Wright was here this- morn
ing 'and Ajfomsed'-lho governor foat .along
about May 21 he Vould resign, quitting the
strenuous existence to settle down its the
more dlguified and less troublesome' life of
city attorney. 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. That
the fight will be a warm one there 1 little
doubt, and unles the governor profit by
past experience and makes the appoint
ment instanter, before the rivalry become
warm. It will begin early and keep a-golng.

Senator Carry a Winner.
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

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.
Reverses Diniic Case.
The Judgment secured five years ago In

portant rulings of the court upon what con
stituted a final order of inferior tribunals

Mill compsny, from Gage county. 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

says:

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.

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?
Surely the fact that less than 500,000
yearly wan required from the Imperial ex
chequer waould not be an obstacle to pre
vent a settlement. The best security wss
the unanimous desire of the whole people
for a peasant proprietary, but the cash
security was ample, while past records of
land purchase transactions showed there
was little risk to the state.
He could not go fully Into the points and
details which had been ralaed, but be in
timated his Intention of discussing tbe first
clause, which laya down the zones of re
duction with members representing all In
terests of the house and without any pre
determined view to pass it in its present
shape.
At tbe same time many of the points
raised in the debate were matters for dU
cussion in committee. The conclusions
the government had arrived at seemed illog
ical. It had arrived at them In view of
three considerations which It considered
essential, namely:
(1) To deal adeauatelv with the conges
tion in Ireland.
(2) To cheapen and expedite ludlclal pro
cedure. (31 To protect the Interests of the sett
ers! taxoaves.
With regard to the questions of the
minimum price to be paid evicted persons
and the congested districts, he foresaw
nothing that would endanger the passage
of the bill. The division was then taken
and the bill passed its second reading.
