HOT STUFF FROM MR. BERGE
V Will I.anarh 5w Weekly Paper
Glre Vent to Ilia Yearn
ing for lUtorin.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April 8.-Special.)-Goorge W.
Bergc, who m.ido tho race foi governor
last year ai the fusion candidate, Is going
to publish ft weekly paper culled "Tho
Tribune," beginning April 27. It is to bo a
red-hot anil-railroad organ. Here is what
Mr. Iterge has to my about his venture
iiiid tha pa per' policy:
I have been working on this project ever
since the close of my ciunp;iiKii last fall.
Everywhere In our city and county govein
mnts, in our atate governments, In our
legislatures, there Is oorruiilior-. that Mil' 11m
tu heaven. 1 uin going to expose it ami
lnist that good faith and economy shall
bo practiced.
Till state has become a government by
railroads and about the only part the peo
ple have in it la to be robbed by extor
tionate, freight rates and laxes. The
Tribune Will try to help bring the state
government back to the people again and
V, - .lain r.nm ....... .
lion Influences. The railroad must bo
wn nrjea out or pontics.
our pudiic omciaiH piay pontics too much.
Too many of them are not simile with the
people In their ofnclal conduct. 1 hay a
railroad pass Is a budge of dishonor, and
the free pass system is a eolissril bribe. I
will show how public officials and mem
bers of the legislature sell their votes and
Influence for the conslderntlon ot a free
pass on the railroads. We cannot get
trelght rates down and railroad regulation
is Impossible as long as the free-paa brib
ing system remain. As wo look at It now,
If an official appropriates money belonging
to the public we send him to tho peniten
tiary as an embcizler. If, however, nn
official appropriates to his own use the
power and Influence given him by his con
stituents we let It pass. I say an embess
r.ler of public confidence and power l
worse than an embezzler of dollars and
cents. I propose to show the fearful be
trayal of the public by public officials
.through the free pasa and otner corpora
tion influence.
At no time in the history of the state
have the people been betrayed so much
as In recent years. Our revolutionary fore
fathers fought to cet the taxing power
Into their own hands. The colonies were
willing to pay taxes. Oreat Britain wanted
taxes from the colonies. There was no
dispute about that. The point of differ
ence was as to who should exerciHe the
taxing power. That In what the revolu
tionary war was fought for. Two yenrs
ago the legislature stole from the people,
the taxing power In this state and placed
It in the hands of Ave men at the state
house, railed the State Board of Equaliza
tion and Assessment. I am going to tell
the people how that was dono and why
It was done.
Our city governments bring the blush
of shame to our faces. I will have some
thing to nay each week upon this sub
ject. I believe in municipal ownership
and the subject will ho fully discussed.
Perhaps never In the history of the conn
try was there greater need for the people
to arouse themselves than now. The sky
really looks very dark, sometimes. There
Is, however, one glimmer of light. It
comes from such men like President
Roosevelt. Mr. Bryan, ex-Oovernor Larra
bee, Governor Folk, Governor Ciimmlm
and Governor LaFoIlette. and men like
these. The Tribune's whole Influence will
be dedicated to help these men and men
like them In the great struggle now on
between the corporations and the people.

Members of Norfolk Company Hate
lleea Careless with Properly.
NORFOLK. Neb.. April 8. (Special.) In
dictments by a federal grand Jury on tha
charge of appropriating government prop
erly is the serious situation with which a
large number of men In Norfolk are Just
now threatened and, nccordlng to Adjutant
General Culver, a situation which they
cannot escape. The trouble has arisen
from the deplorable condition In which the
property of company L, Second regiment,
Nebrnska National Guard, was found by
General Daggett, representing the federal
government on an Inspection tour. So
widely scattered are the guns, tents and
other belongings of the company that Ad
jutant General Giilver was at once callel
to account and an order immediately fol
lowed from his office ordering the company
mustered out.
Detectives have been sent to Norfolk to
search out the missing property nnd 'every
person In whose possession a single article
is found must, according to the general,
be Indicted, as no one has a right to hold
any federal property of this class. It Is
feared that more serious trouble may fol
low for officers directly accountable for
the property.
The West Point company has been al.o
ordered mustered out. General Daggett
and Adjutant General Culver were In Nor
folk again tonight to list what property
has already been accounted for.

ROCR ISLAND FILES REPORT
Does Not Contain Much Which Will Assist
Assessment Board.
TROUBLE BREAKS OUT IN NORMAL BOARD
(Governor Dcslanatca a(arday, April
211, as Arbor Day flash Reap
pointed Head of the
Labor Rnrean.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. April $. I Special. ) The Rock
Island railroad was the first this year to
file a report of the value of Its property
in Nebraska with the state nuditor for
the use of the'State Hoard of Assessment
In placing a value upon this road. The
report goes Into detail about the number
of ties in every mile of its road and the
kind of ballast and weight of steel used,
but It remilns sllnt upon those essential
points upon which the board should have
Information. The tax commissioner undrr
oath says the value of the stock, either
true value or market value. Is unknown.
He also refrains from mentioning the
earnings of the road In Nebraska during.
the last year, though the report gives the
gross earnings of the entire system, to
gether with the cost of operating and toe
net earnings. It leaves the board to guess
what business Is being done in Nebrnska.
The report also separates the main line
from the St. Joseph & Nelson branch, and
locomotives of less value are used on those
branches than are used on the main line.
The road, however, has enjoyed unusual
prosperity during the time for which the
report is made. March 31, 1904. to March I'd.
lflou. Its gross earnings are over fs.ono.ono
In excess of the previous year, though at
the same time the amount spent in main
tenance and improvements has also greatly
Increased, leaving the net earnings less
than Sl.Ono.OHO in excess of the net earnings
of a year ago.
The following tahle Is a comparison of
the financial report for the last two years:

mulate Instructions to be sent to the county

able to get a quorum together, consequently

Arbor Tiny Proclamation.
Governor Mickey today issued the fol
lowing Arbor day proclamation:
Nebraska has profited much by the Insti
tution and observance of Arbor day. The
prodigal planting of trees by the pioneers
nnd by those who came after them has not
only changed the aspect of the plains as
Inherited from nature, but has wrought nn
important chHiige in climatic conditions as
well. Many parts of the state now present
the apviearance of a well wooded country,
while other portions are respoijding to the
Ineiilratlon of example and are making
rapid strides in the same good cause.
Through a wise enactment of the legisla
ture a day has been permanently set apart
for the purpose of conserving the Interests
of forestry and perpetuating the precept
ami example of t lie early tree planters.
In harmony with the matute referred to
I. John H. Mickey, governor of the state of
Nebraska, do hereby designate Saturday,
Apill lfoS. Arbor day, and do ear
nestly enjoin Its proper observance upon
all citizens of the commonwealth. Let the
day be given over to the setting of trees,
plants and hrubs. to the end that private
and public grounds may have Intelligent
ornamentation and that prHcnt as well as
future generations may receive the benelit
uf our toil.
Trouble in Sonnal Hoard.
Another chapter In the history of the
Slate Normal board, which began with the
departure of the dove of peace upon tha
location of the new State Normal school
at Kearney, was written yesterday when
Treasurer Mortensen and C. II. Gregg,
members of the board, almost came to
blows over remarks passed between the
two while the board was driving around
Kearney. Following this incident camu' a
heart to heart talk between Tom Majors
and Treasurer Mortensen on the train cn
routs from Kearney, when each accused
the other of breaking faith and each ad
mitted hat ho had a knife up his sleeve
for the other.
Just what remark brought about the
open rupture at Kearney Is not known
here, but it cams about because Mr. Mor
tensen was not satisfied with the progress
being made on the building, the workmen
now being engaged on the second story
when Mr. Mortensen thinks the building
should lie completed. Mr. Gregg has been
appointed by the board to look after the
consli uetion''of the building and he was
called down by Mr. Moiuusen because
work was not progressing satisfactorily.
Gregg took offense at the statement of
Mortensen and handed back a remark that
didn't set well on the treasurer. Then
Mortensen went for Giegg, mho was sitting
on the front seat, but right here the little
dove In the form of the other members
of the tKiard prevented the two from com
ing together
Coming home last night Tom .Major
brought up the matter with Mortensen and
said Gregg had apologised to hlin and
therefore Mortensen should have accepted
the apology. This led to a fuss lieteer,
the two snd Incidentally to it becoming
known that Kearney secured the State Nor
mal school at tha price of the head of
Superintendent Clark of the Tern Normal
school.
It was brought out In the fuss that Majors
cared not where the normal school was lo
cated Just so Clark was ousted. Morten
sen cared little for Clark, but he did want
that normal school. But he refused to
vote to oust Clark until Majors delivered
the goods on the normal school. Majors
then tied up with other members of the
board. Ord lost the normal school and
Mains got Clerk. Thus has the dove of
peace been scared further away from this
board and developments are liable to come
thick and fast.
Rnah nnd Despaln Reappointed.
Governor and Mis. Mickey went to
Omaha at 6 o'clock this evening to attend
a reception given in honor of Bishop Mc
Dowell by members of the First Methodist
church. Just before his departure the
governor signed the certificates reappoint
ing Burt Bush labor commissioner and Don
C. Dexpaln chief clerk.
Iterae to Broome Editor.
George W. Berge, who tried in vain last
fall to become governor of Nebraska, is to
become an editor. His time and tahnt will
be taken up writing editorials denouncing
the present manner of governing the state
and an anti-puss crusade will be his spe
cialty. His paper will be known as the
Tribune and the first number will be Issued
April 27. It will be a weeklv.
License to Re St, Mill.
The newly elected 4-xclHe iioard met this
morning and decided that the saloons nf
Lincoln should pay a license fee of $1.10
to do business. The action of last night,
at which it was agreed that a graded
license should be charged, was rescinded.
ew Knle in Supreme ( iinrt.
The supreme court at its last sitting
inaugurated a new rule, which will save
much time to attorneys. The rule is that
all attorneys who expect to make an oral
argument before the court must lile their
intentions with the clerk and they will
be notified of the , time set for the argu
ment. This will save the attorneys from
coming to Lincoln on the first day of the
sitting, when probably the argument would
not be heard until the last day.
