emit 'Task.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. July 16. (Special.) The pa
thettc plea of the Omaha popocratlc sheet
thla morning to T. H. Tibbies, candidate
for vice president, to use hla Influence to
bring about fusion In Nebraska has fallen
on deaf ears.
"Fusion In Nebraska, " Bald Mr. Tibbies,
"can only be brought about by the demo
crats endorsing the populist electors or
pledging their own electors to stand, for
the populist national ticket. I am certain
the democrats will not do this and there
fore I am certain that there can be no
fusion In Nebraska this year."
There are others In Lincoln, however,
who are not so strong In populism who
believe there can be fusion between the
two weaker partlea in affairs of the atata
if the democrats will only allow the popu
lists to name the nominee for governor.
Among the more liberal populists who be
lieve the two parties will fusc on the
state ticket Is George W. Berge, who has
been mentioned often as the gubernatorial
candidate.
"While the two parties have come to
the parting of the ways In national poll
tics," said Mr. Berge. "because It la our
belief that the democratic candidate for
prosldent stands for the very things that
wc have fought always, I believe that we
will be able to get together on state af
fairs. As for the national ticket, I feel
sure Judge Parker will get a very small
vote In Nebraska, probably not more than
15,000, while Watson and Tibbies will se
cure many more, though likely there will
be many democrats who will not vote for
any national candidates,"
It Is the consensus of opinion among tho
populists hen who favor fuaioa that they
should name the head of the state tlckot
and that the democrats should without
hesitation endorse their cundldate, thus
in a amall way paying aome of the obli
gations they owe the populists. ,
Among the populists most prominently
mentioned for governor and from whom
the nominee will likely be choaen are
Mr. Berge, Judge Holcomb and former
Congressmen Stark and Sutherland. Many
of the populists object to Judge Holcomb
becauae he has been In the running too
long and becauae the general Impression
Is out over the state that the Union Pa
cific railroad would support him, thus
placing him under obligation to that cor
poration. The populists and Bryan democrats
seemingly are little concerned about what
the Parker democrats intend to do In state
affairs, becauae they believe these would
have voted for Roosevelt If Parker had
not been nominated. It la the. general Im
pression here that they will make an ef
fort to nominate former Governor Boyd
and Governor Boyd Is anxious to carry
the banner. It was announced here today
that the former governor said he would be
glad to be the nominee, and if be could
secure the consent of Mr. Bryan not to
fight him he would go after it. But there
can be no fusion on Boyd.
A prominent populist said he would like
Boyd to secure the nomination if there
was no fusion, for he believed that the
former governor would be a help to the
populists in that be would get votes that
otherwise would be for the republican
nominee.
Coaatlea Are Slow,
Owing to the delay of county officials
In getting In their assessment reports the
State Board 'of Equalisation will go to
work Monday afternoon with many coun
ties still missing. The sessions will have
to be of the strenuous order if the law la
complied with for the reason that the
statutes require the report of the board
to be certified out to the counties by the
first Monday In August, which this year la
August 1. This leaves less than two weeks
for the board to complete Its work, and the
task will be a hard one.
Numerous reports have begun to come
in from various counties to the effect that
a mighty roar la going to come In becauae
property has been assessed too high, and
other reporta are to the effect that . the
railroads are going out of their way to
compel the board to raise the farmers out
of all proportion to what they have been
raised over last year. Whether the farmer
will leave his wheat field and come In to
plead hla case has not been announced,
but constant rumor has It that' the rail
roads are loaded to the brim with figures
and probable threats that they Intend to
unload for the edification of the board
that the people of the state may still be
taxed out of all proportion to the rail
roads. For some reason It seems to be the gen-
eral opinion that the board will uae the
valuation placed on railroad property as
a basis upon which to fix the valuation
of the different counties, but no member
of the board will admit that such la the
case, . The board doean't seem to know
how It will proceed, though It Is probable
that the first thing on the program will be
to listen to proUata. From Douglas county
comes the report that the railroads are
very anxious that the people there be put
on the defenalve, and It la common talk
that they will try to show the board that
It Is a shame the way Douglas county Is
beating the state out of taxes. This be
cause cltisens of Douglas county are largely
responsible for the late Increase in the
value of railroads.

I'nder Misapprehension ot Facta.
RANDOLPH, Neb), July 16.-(9peclal.)
A set of smooth lightning rod grafters
beat a farmer east of Randolph out of
$220 yesterday by a game that, though old,
made good In this case. The farmer signed
a contract by which 176 feet of rod was
to be put up free and for the balance he
was to pay 75 cents per foot. This conde
scension was made for the purpose of using
the Job for advertising purposes, the graft
ers claiming to have an agent at Sholea
who would make the territory and board
with the victim at tl a day and 75 cents
a day for horse feed. After the rods were
In place he grafter presented a bill for
1240 for eight points 130 each, deducting
13.75 for horse feed and, enough more to
make the bill even $220. The farmer got
rattled and signed a note for this amount
payable to J. H. McCaron of Lincoln.
Banks are notified not to buy this note.
PXvATTB COUNTY NEEDS A DITCH
Short Canal Required to Drain Two
Hundred Aeres of Land.
rnt.TTMHlTS. Neb.. July 16.-(SDeclal.)
The Board of Supervisors has been In ses
sion all the week. Most of the time hss
been occupied with the drainage ditch
question. A large petition signed by far
mers and others living near Oconee, a vil
lage ten miles west, was filed with the
board asking that the county take steps
to drain some 300 acres of wet lands under
the state swamp act law. A ditch less
than two miles In length would carry this
water into the Loud river and then the
land could be cultivated. The board visited
the location yesterday in a body and with
a surveyor took some measurements. It Is
generally thought the ditch will be built by
the coanty. Thla land Is not always In as
bad condition as It is this year, though it
can never be depended on to be cultivated.

by the late John King has finally reached

by Luclnda Jane Urwln against Thomas
Akescn, administrator of the estate.

farm near Louisville In thla county. At
