(Prom a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, July 13. (Special.) Articles
of incorporaUon have been filed with tha
secretary of atate for the Blouz City,
Homer & Southern railway aa a prelim
I nary to the construction of an Interurban
electrlo line beginning at Sioux City, la.,
and running to Homer, Dakota county,
and on south If the promoters so desire.
The capital stock la fixed at $600,000, al
though the articles provide for an Increase
to a round million. The incorporators are
largely Bloux City and Omaha people, In
cluding Senator Joseph H. Millard, Post
master Crow and J. B. Haynea of Omaha,
K. A. Talbot of Bloux City and R. S. Hall
and C. J. O'Connor of Homer, from tha
lact that the plans provide for the con
struction . of the road to Homer, an In
land town In Dakota county and without
railroad facilities. It la . inferred that the
line may build on south and penetrate the
territory that extends for forty or fifty
miles along the Missouri river that haa
never had steel rail communication with
the outside world, eventually entering
Blair and ' extending on to Omaha. The
Incorporation fee of 150 which the secre
tary of State asaesses against a capitalisa
tion of 1000,000 was not forwarded with the
articles, but attention has been directed
to this oversight and on the payment of
the required fee the artlclea will be for
mally entered on the records of the state
and the proper certificate will be Issued.
Wants to Manage lila Own Affairs.
Thomas Walton, a pioneer resident of
.Lancaster county, rather wealthy and ec
centric, haa applied to County Judge
Waters for an order discharging the guar'
dlan who Is managing his estate. The old
gentleman has property both In the city
and county valued at about S2S.O0O, of
which he has been denied the management
because of his mental condition during the
paat three years. His ailment was a mild
case of Insanity, a commission adjudging
him mentally deranged and ordering his
Incarceration In the state Insane hospital.
Several months ago Superintendent Greene
decided that Walton was a fit subject for
a parole and he was accordingly released.
Three months after the latter date the
superintendent extended 'the parole, which
Walton seems to think operated as a dis
charge. Superintendent Oreene was ex
amined before the county Judge In the
hearing today and declined to . state
whether he considered Walton fit to be at
large unlesa given an opportunity for aa
' extended Inquiry Into his mental condition.
Walton wishes to have the guardian dis
charged and his estate turned back to
himself. The evidence in behalf of Walton
la altogether In tha form of depositions
taken in CouncU Bluffs, where he has
been living for some months past. That
evidence seems to be of a very positive
character. It comes from Mrs. Sarah A.
Ortfflth, at whose house Walton roomed
for a long time; 8. W. Besley, a retired
business man of Council Bluffs; C. B.
Klmball-and Mrs. Jessie Kimball, who
kept the Ogden house la that city while
r.in -. hoarder there: D. R. Olm-
stead, C. A. Olmstead and Francis Olm
stead, at whose home Walton roomed for
- a rtlmV"Qeorg Green, -a - Barber; Dr. Me
Crea, Pr. J. N. Bice and Dr. J. M. Bar
tow, who bad attended Walton In that
city. All but Dr. Rice were called aa wit
nesses for Walton and their testimony was
pointedly to the effect that they had never
noticed anything In Walton's acta to indi
cate that he was Insane.
Encampment Abandoned.
tat
Adjutant General Culver has Just re
ceived advlcea from Washington to the
effect that the National Guard will not be
required to hold a state encampment In ad
dition to taking part In the regular army
maneuver in order to avail Itself of the
terms of the Dick mllltla bill. The maneu
vers will take place some ume in auiu.
UnUl very recently It haa been the gen
eral Impression among the officers of the
guard that a state encampment would be
necessary, and there was more or lese trepi
dation because of that fact, since the leg
islature made a small appropriation for
ruard. and it would have been a dlffl
'?cult matter to hold the atate encampment
even by exercising the strictest economy.
Participation In thess maneuvers this
year will qualify the National Guard of
this stste to hold an encampment next
year, the expense of which will be paid by
the government under the Dick bill, while
the expenae of the guards In the army
maneuver thla year will be paid out of
the general expense fund of the War de
partment. .

Tea Coaatiea Are Delinquent.
Ten county clerks In the state are delin
quent In making their 'returns of the as
sessed valuations of their counties and as
a result their counties are likely to have to
pay more taxes than they have had to pay
with. the returns filed. , This morning the
auditor sent out a circular letter to the
delinquents explaining that under section
Ti, chapter lxxvli," article I, of the Com
piled Statutes of 1901, the returns are all
required to be In the auditor's oflice at the

power, where the counties fall to make
their returns, to take the valuation of last
year as the hauls for the levy. In coun
ties where there has been an Increase In
the assessed valuation this means that a
higher tax will have to be paid Into the
treasury, since the board will base the levy
on last rear's valuation.
Some of the counties are coming In with
better returns. Douglas county raised Its
valuation about $300,000, and Johnson county
went It one better with a $300,000 raise.
Contrary to his expectations some days ago
Bookkeeper Bennett of the auditor's office
hopes to see the valuation for the entire
state Increased by $7,000,000 or $8.000.000. '
Tax Blanks for the Canntles.
The state auditor Is receiving letters from
many county clerks asking when the books
and blank's required under the terms of
the new revenue law will be Issued. He la
Informing the clerks that the old Board
of Equalisation will not have any power
to Issue the books required under the new
law. The new board, which will consist
of five members, will have to Issue the new
books. This body will meet October 15.
to make tho plana for successfully carrying
the new law Into operation. The form of
the booka will have to be changed In sev
eral places, and It Is probable that an en
tire new series will have to be arranged.
The new law goes Into effect In Septem
ber. In addition to the present members
of the board, the secretary of state and the
land commissioner are taken In as mem
bers of the board. The other members are
the governor, auditor and treasurer. The
board will probably leave the work of com
piling the books and blanks to the secre
tary of the board. At Its first meeting this
official will probably be chosen. It was
Intimated several months ago that the gov
ernor, as the chairman of the board, would
be allowed to choose the secretary, but It
Is believed that all the members will have
a hand In the matter. The only candidate
who la prominently mentioned for the place
Is Bond Clerk Matthews of the auditor's
office, who Is an expert accountant
Legislators File Expense Claims.
After several months' telay Deputy Aud
itor Anthes is being called upon to Issue
warrants for the expenses of members of
visiting committees of the house of repre
sentatives. Under the terms of the Harri
son resolution he will be unable to pay such
claims unless they are accompanied by affi
davits to the effect that the persons pre
senting them did not ride on free trans
portation and actually paid the cash for
their hotel bills.
This morning F. W. Koetter, an Omaha
legislator, presented a claim for $25.75. This
amount covered the varied assortment of
expenses, but several railroad trips were
scheduled. Representative McLaln of Sew
ard county, who was on the committee of
publlo lands and buildings, which made
several Junkets, wants the state to reim
burse him to the- extent of $28.83 for a
bunch of miscellaneous expenses. W. E,
Robblns, a representative from Gage county
thinks that he ought to have $48, while W.
G. Saddler of Adams county, who also was
on the publlo lands and buildings commit
tee, spent the sum of $32.32 on his various
trips. All that these claims lack to make
them good Is the signature of Speaker
Mockett. They are accompanied by affl
davits required by the terms of the Har
rison resolution.
One result of the attitude taken by the
auditor toward these claims In refusing
to allow them unless they comply strictly
with the terms of the resolution which
passed the house, has been the reduction
of the average for all the claims from $75
to $30. Several of the members entered Into
a combination during the last days of the
session to present claims regardloss of the
Harrison resolution, but the auditor made
It known that debatable Items would hot
be allowed. Thla resulted In scaling the
claims. . . , . ... ..

Rain Boom the Corn.
EXETER, Neb., July 1$. (Special.) There
Is much rejoicing among the farmers In
this vicinity over the recent showers which
have visited the country Just in the nick of
time. A very heavy shower visited the
southern portion of the country Saturday,
being just what the corn needed. Another
exceedingly heavy shower fell yesterday
afternoon and was productive of much good.
The cornfields are looking fine and the
farmer say that If this weather continues
one week more the outlook for good crops
will be as favorable aa it was at this time
last year, notwithstanding the high water
and unaettled weather this spring. The
prospect for a fine wheat crop la uncom
monly good and for oat even better. The
fields north of Exeter are in a little better
condition than those In the southern por
tion, but this Is due to the fact that the
low ground Is mostly In the south. It Is re
ported today that the storm yesterday was
full of hall In the northern portion. In a line
from Uaso to Blue Vale, and that many
fine pieces of corn were hailed out. The
damage done cannot be fully estimated, as
tne real facts of the case are not yet
known.
