Bn- lum Drld- tmlr Ea klblts roaring; la. (From a Start Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Au. 17. (fcpeclal.)-A Tork county man stated today that there Is a possibility that the Increases In county valuations ordered by the State Doard of Equalisation may all be Invalid, because of the Interference with the power of the county boards to ruisa revtnue. Under the statute for the regulation of county levies, county boards are required to make estimates In January of tne amount of revenue which th.y will raise for local purposes, and they are subject to a fine should they ralre more' revenue than the estimate calls for. Under the new revenue statute the state board to equalize must of necessity Interfere with the amount of revenue raised locally, and that fact, it la claimed makes the section granting the power to tho state board invalid.' It la not yet known whether a test suit will be In stituted in York county. The Success of such a suit would cut down the grand assessment, roll of the state by about 11,000, 000. Ranrhmen Are Worried. Chief Clerk E. 8. Mickey of the gov ernor's ofttce, who has returned from his Key a Paha ranch, stated that the outlook for the ranchmen Is not very bright in the near future. Even with the ending of ,the strike he believes that there is danger of a sudden rush to the market which will glut the stock yards and run prices down to a low level, lie says that many of the ranchmen eve holding their cattle, waiting for the end of the strike. It is a serious matter with many of them because from now on their cattle will shrink rapidly. In the sections of the state where the Buffalo grass does not grow, the prairie grass la already maturing and losing Its nutritive qualities, so that the ranchmen of those regions who are obliged to hold their stock will find it shrinking from day to day. Much of the stock Is lri fine condition at the present time, but he does not hold out much hope that ft will remain In that condition where there la no buffalo grass. Where the cattle have access to that kind of forage and It has been cured their flesh will become more solid. Mr. Mickey said that he had observed no trouble impending because of maturing loans, but from the general custom of the ranchmen of going Into debt for the cat tle. It la regarded as likely that the pres sure to sell Is often due to the demands of the money lenders. Many of the cat tlemen were deterred from shipping be cause of the low prices last fall, and they renewed their loans.. That Is one of the elements which makes the situation more critical, than It would otherwise have been. When- the strike Is ended the pressure to hip will be very great, and the cattle owners will vie with one another' In rush ing to the markets. Raises Old Question. Ha a man who goes out Of business after making a contract with a person to who ha sells to quit the field, a light to re-enter It without laying himself liable to damages for the violation of .his con tract? C. W. Lemont. a Norfolk Insurance man. today filed , a brief in the state su preme court maintaining that he has that right, because such a contract would be In restraint of trade and therefore void under the statutes of the common law. Lemon and W. W. Roberts, another In surance and real estate man of Norfolk, who offlced together, reached the conclu sion that Lemont should retire, and he re ceived from Chambers 1240 for the office furniture and good will of the buslneaa. About a year later Lemont secured the agency for another company and Roberts brought an Injunction suit, alleging that when he sold his business he had promised to remain out of ths Insurance field. The temporary Injunction waa made permanent and the defendant appealed to the su prams court. Vermnntera to Meet. Hon. L. E. Richards, president of the Association of the Nebraska Sons and Daughters of Vermont, has called a meet Ing on the state fair grounds Wednesday, August SI, 10:30 a. m.

Governor Mickey will go to Arlington Thursday morning to attend a reunion. ' Bourbons to Be at Lincoln. VJt Is a generally accepted conclusion In democratic circles that the state headquar ters of the fusion parties will be at Lln coin. The executive committees of both parties will meet In this city Friday after noon- with the candidates, and at that time the location of the headquarter will be finally determined. The leaders favor Lincoln because of the proximity to .the state nouse, witn tne omciai records that they may desire to consult, and have an additional reason for desiring to be here In the facjt that the chairmen are both at home In the city. Another moving cause la ths fear of the Lee Honiman democrats, who might capture the headquarters. slon and parachute drop, a wild wt show and many other kindred shows. The week will be given over entirely to pleasure and the country people from miles around and large delegations from surrounding towns are expected to take advantage of the occasion.

Frank Rhodes, the man shot through the back at the Engburg place yesterday after noon, died at I o'clock this morning. He failed rapidly from the time he was found. Death waa caused by tbe shock and loss of blood. Thla noon Arthur Canaga, a 16-year-old boy who work at Vasholx's meat market, came to the sheriff' office and In a broken voice and with tears streaming down his face confessed that be probably fired the fatal shot. The boy said that shortly after t o'clock he was driving out to Va shell's slaughter house with Ed Herre, another boy of about the same age, going on the military road. They had with them a M-callber rifle, which waa brought along for the use of the men at the slaughter house killing beeves. They stopped their team Just after they had crossed the side track which leads to some stock yards and the Canaga boy took a couple of shotl towards the sou t heart at a bird sitting on the fence, without hitting It. Then he said: "I saw a sign nailed to a post on tha fence at the west side of the corn field, and I flrad at vhat. I didn't hit It and that bullet Went Into the corn field. I 'gueas that was the bullet that struck Rhode. I looked at the com field when I aimed at the sign and I coudn't see any body." The boys say it was about 2:30 in the afternoon, which would make It about the time Rhode oald he was shot. Tho boy 1ras overwhelmed at the terri ble result of his carelessness and It was with difficulty between sobs and tears that he was able in a broken, way to tell his story to the sheriff. He said he con fessed because he thought It waa the right thing to do and he felt better after telling Mr. Baumau what he had done. His employer, P. R. Vashols, speaks well of htm and his general reputation is that of an honest, straight ford ward boy. An Inquest will be held later on Rhodes' remains. Lextnston's Chaataaqna.

Food can't exactly paint a picture, but proper food to restore tha dally wear and tear on brain and nerves as well as body can help. A successful artist says: "I had been troubled with dyspepsia for 25 year and my system wai so run down I was so weak and miserable life was a burden to me until I made a great discov ery about food. "I am an artist by profession and at that time was painting a large marine piece, but being In such poor health I could not do Justice to It and no matter how often I changed it there seemed al ways something wrong. Success lay Just out of my. reach because I did not have the strength and vigor of brain as well as bodily strength to accomplish what I knew lay within me. "Looking around me for help I decided to try a food I had heard so much about and that was tbe way 1 was led to ut-e Grape-Nuts and it came at the right time. I hud hardly given It a fair trial before 1 began to feel so much belter, ray dyspepxla dltappeured and 1 commenced to feel stronger and inure vigorous all over, head and all, and It was not long before 1 was back at my work again with renewed energy uud Interest. "Even more BUbstuntlal proof -of the help 1 got from this food was when I finished my pulntlng and put It up fcr exhibition. Critics said it was a master piece and I sold It a short time ago at a very good price.
