(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. A commodious tent

quarters on the grounds for the accommo
dation of all members of the association.

BOT CONFESSES TO BHOOTINO
Fires a Sign on Fence ill Kills Bf
In Field.
FREMONT, Neb., Aug. 17. (Special.)
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.

A LIMIT
One Thins; Food Can't Do.
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. Before flowing 1 want
to mention ths fact that my mother, in

Cured of Asthma
After 35 years of Suisrlng-.
It will be gratifying to Asthmatlo readers
to learn that an absolute cure ha at last
been discovered by Dr, Bchlffmann. That
the remedy Is an effectual one cannot be
doubted after perusal of such testimony as
that of C. N. Van Antwerp, Fulton, N. Y.,
who says: "Your remedy (Schlffmann's
Asthma Cure) is the best I ever used. I
bought a package of our druggist and tried
It 'and one box entirely cured me of
Asthma, and I hav not had It since. I ran
now go to bed and sleep all night wit)l per
fect comfort, which I have not done before
for thirty-five years, and I thank you for
the health that I now enjoy, I hope that
you will publish this letter, that others
may learn of Its wonderful virtues."
Bold by all druggists at 60c and 11.00.
