jJNCOLN, June 7. (Special.) Two day
ahead of the time table was the record
made by the Union Pacific, the Northwest
ern and the Burlington railroads In arriv
ing at the state house terminal, the Btato
Board of Equalisation. They were sched
uled to reach this point next Thursday
afternoon, at which time a grand erabfest
Is to occur between those who want to talk
over the proposition of railroad asaessment,
the day having been publicly set apart
by the board for such. In due
form, but they pulled in under a
full bead of steam . at an early
hour this morning. To get here at this time
Mr. Scribner of the Union Pacific returned
from a record-breaking trip to New York,
where he secured Information concerning
the ralue of the stocks and bonds of his
company, though of scant Importance. The
Burlington was a few minutes behind the
others and Mr. Pollard steamed In after
the adjournment and only got a chance to
announce that he was sorry.
It made no difference, however, this de
lay in his arrival, for there was little sat
isfaction gotten by anyone out of the meet
ing. Mr. Scribner had. been commissioned
by the board to dig down In the records
of the financial office at New Tork and
bring back with him the value of the stocks
and bonds of the Union Pacific railroad
proper without the Oregon Short Line, the
Oregon Navigation company and the North
ern Securities company, but Mr. Scribner
brought back nothing of the kind. He
lined up for the edification of the board
an array of figures showing the value of
the stocks and bonds of the Union Pacific
company, which Included all others, from
the year 1898 down to the present time, by
giving the average quotation by month.
It will be of no assistance whatever to the
board.
Then ' Mr. Scribner wanted some In
formation from the board. He wanted to
know what deductions had been allowed
to offset their stocks and bonds, and Mr.
Mortensen told him the board would not
consider assessing anything that was as
sessed locally. This didn't suit Mr. Scrib
ner by any means. He wanted deductions
for the bonds of the Oregon Short Line,
the Navigation company, the Securities
company, the salt works, the water works
nd a whole lot of other things, which
brought on a mighty argument of little
value to the board In arriving at a method
by which to assess railroads, with Mr.
Scribner continually coming back to ths
tangible property proposition. At the final
wlndup Mr. Mortensen suggested to Mr.
Scribner that the board was not infallible,
and If It did not do as the road desired
the company could appeal to the courts for
relief.
Horthwesterai Presents Views.
Then Frank Crandon, Peter Whitney and
Ben White were given the right-of-way and
teamed Into the private office of the gov
ernor where the board was meeting. Mr.
White acted as spokesman and told the
board that Mr. Crandon wanted another
chance to present some facta In regard to
this stocks and bonds proposition. He as
sured the board that Mr. Crandon was not
then prepared to present his facts and
asked that some day bs set apart. Then
Mr. Whtt assumed his old character as a
cross-ezamlner and he and 'Whitney began
dialogue, during; which Mr. Mortensen
read Poor's Annual and the rest of the
board looked like they wondered what the
talk had to do with the revenue law. By
droit questioning Mr. White brought It
out of Mr. Crandon that the Northwestern
road In Nebraska was not near so valu
able as In Illinois and Iowa and other
tates, and that very few of the boards in
other states had even discussed the stocks
nd bonds proposition and that In Illinois
the company had fine double tracks and
uch like. Mr. Mortensen then broke Into
the dialogue to remark that doubtless the
double tracks would not be needed In Iowa
and Illinois were It not for the Nebraska
branch of the system piling shipments Into
Illinois.;, When Mr. Crandon had appar
ently been pumped dry by Mr. White, they
adjourned, and so did the board, getting
out In time to see the Burlington steaming
Into the station.
The Northwestern was given permission
to come down again at 9 o'clock Saturday
morning, Governor Mickey having accepted
an Invitation to be in Omaha Friday.

Call for Warrants.
State Treasurer Mortensen has Issued a
call for warrants to the amount of $60,000
for June 16, warrants number from 101,427
to 102,148. Mr. Mortensen aleo notified
brokers that It was posslDIe that the State
Board of Educational Lands and Funds
would have fronv 150,000 to $100,000 to Invest
by June 14, money belonging to the tem
porary school fund. This Information of
course is not official, aa the board has not
yet given Its sanction to the investment,
but It Is more than probable that the In
vestments will be made. It Is the desire of
the treasurer to Invest the money at home
If possible.
Appeals Repair Case.
City Attorney Wright of Omaha has ap
pealed from the decision of ths Douglas
county court that granted an Injunction
to Hugh McCaffrey to prevent the city
from making a contract with the Barber
Asphalt company for the repair of Six
teenth street from Douglas to Isard. The
transcript of the proceedings In the lower
court was filed In the supreme court to
day. Give Webster a Chance.
Out of respect to Hon. John L. Web
ster, Nebraska's candidate for vice presi
dent. It Is likely that when the supreme
court adjourns this week it will adjourn
until a week after the national republican
convention shall have been held.At the
next meeting, which occurs June 21, the
Miles will case In which Mr. Webster Is
one of the attorneys is to be contested,
and because of Mr. Webster's vice presi
dential ambitions, Norrls Brown this morn
ing asked the court that It not meet dur
ing the week of the convention, and in all
probability the court will grant the re
quest. Following were the proceedings of the
oourt:
On motion of attorney, H. C. Murphy
was admitted to practice in the supreme
court; J. L. Francoeur Was admitted to
the bar.
The following cases were marked for
submission:

PROJECTED RAILWAY FOR ARHOLD
Loup Valley People Planning to Battel
sua Eleotrlo Line.
ARNOLD, Neb., Juno 7. (Special.) After
much preliminary talk a meeting of cltl
sens was held at Arnold and fairly well
represented the various Interests of this
section. Among those present was Jacob
Miller, who represents and Is largely In
terested with the Denver and Cheyenne
capitalists, who recently bought the ex
tensive trlpollte deposits near Arnold.
Without much effort a sufficient amount
was secured to Incorporate a company to
construct aa alactiio lino - whloh will bo
done under the name Of the Loup Valley
Electric Railway company, and It Is pro
posed to capitalise at $1,000,000. The first
step In the plan Is to secure the servloes
of an engineer to gauge the water power
that may be available from the Loup
river at this point, and sufficient funds
were quickly guaranteed for this purpose.
A plan was discussed that the land for
five miles adjacent, and which would be
directly benefited by an electric line, be
asked to contribute a pro rata amount
per acre of the capital stock, aside from
what may be secured by township bonds
and from the feeling of the ones present,
many of whom have despaired of ever get
ting transportation lines Into this section.
It seemed probable .that a large amount
oould be raised by that means, as an elec
tiio line would no doubt enhance land
values from CO cents to $1.80 an acre.
The route of the proposed line which
seems preferable would be to connect with
the B. 4 M. at Broken Bow, the county
seat, which would put this section in
quick communication with the outside
world and would Insure a paying pas
senger and freight traffic.
Jacob Miller acted aa chairman, A. G.
Hoffman as secretary and W. C, Belts as
treasurer of the meeting, and much en
thusiasm was aroused. Another meeting
was called for Saturday, June 18, at which
It Is expected something tangib!e will be
accomplished In the way of further or
ganisation. In the meantime the various
committees appointed will be busy bring
ing the project to a focus.
FARMER'S WIFE KJLLS HERSELF
Mrs. Angast Knesset Found flanging
in Corn Crib Near Stanton.

August Knesset, wife of a German farmer
living six miles southeast of Stanton, com
mitted suicide by hanging this' morning.
Upon arising at t o'clock this morning,
Mr. Knessel missed his wife and began a
search, finding her lifeless body hanging
from a stay in a oorncrib. She had used
the head shawl which she always wore,
and which are quite commonly worn by
foreign women, to end her life. She had
climbed upon a box and after fastening
the shawl about her neck and the stay
of the crib had evidently kicked the box
away so that her feet barely hung above
floor. Mrs. Knessel was not of strong
mind and sending her to an asylum had
been considered. She was about 60 years
of age and the mother of four grown
children. The family la well-to-do finan

Norwegian Lutheran Conference.
ALBION, Neb., June 7.-(Special.) The
Norwegian Lutherans are holding their an
nual conference at their large church situ
ated about fifteen miles northeast of here.
The attendance Is surprisingly great In
consideration of the fact thst this church
Is situated at least ten . miles from the
nearest railroad station. There are about
BOO ministers at this conference from Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota. Last
Sunday was the big day of the meeting
nd there were nearly 1,000 people present.
If this conference had been held In one
of the larger cities It would have excited
a great deal of Interest.
A special car came up on the North
western to Newman Grove for the ac
commodation of the passengers enroute to
this gathering. A great deal of interest
has been taken In the matter In this lo
cality. Like the Kinkaid Bill.
CHADRON, Neb., June 7. (Special.)
Even If a few stockmen, who not only want
the earth, but want It fenced, have lately
said at their meeting at Alliance they were
not satisfied with the Klnkald bill giving
homesteaders 640 acres In northwestern Ne
braska, Instead of 180 as heretofore, the
great majority of the people are more than
pleased. Anyone wishing for the good of
the whole district will be glad, but it may
be a few cannot then have the whole range
for nothing, not even having any taxes on
the land. This country seems bound to
have a largo Influx of people this summer.

PENDER, Neb., June 4. To the Editor

you please correct the error? Truly yours,

Why not have the early,

It's easily done with Ayer's

how it always restores color,

hair rich and glossy.

such aa cream to soften and heal the af
fliction. Tou would never think of ap
plying the strong, acrid nostrums to your
sore hands or chapped Hps that you take
Into your stomach for your Internal Ills
and that is just why you and thousands
of others are chronically suffering from
asthma, bronchitis. Indigestion, dyspep-
IOKT
sla, catarrh of the stomach, constipa

Whon tbe mucous membrane la af
flicted, either as the result of colds or
abuse In diet, It la unable to perform lta
functions and, therefore, the secretions
of the membranes are cut off or Im
paired and thus your food la not digested
and tbe air you breathe doea not properly
supply the requirements of your lungs.
The nasty medicine you bare taken will
not cure a caae like thla and you know
it from experience.
Why not apply the remedy to your In
ternal organs that you know will cure
the soreness of the skin? Milks' Emul
sion Is as soothing to the membranous
lining aa cream Is to the Hps. It imme
diately heals the afflicted parts and re
stores them to normal conditions so that
all the secretions ara produced and
