LINCOLN, June 5.-8peclal.)-Today the
State Board of Equalisation and Assess
ment began to place tentative assessments
on the railways. The figures reached are
ubject to change when the minutes of
the assessment are formally prepared, but
they are regarded by the members of the
board as conclusive unless new reasons
can be urged for the change. They repre
sent the board's estimate of the fair value
of the properties. As a basis Treasurer
Mortensen had prepared a statement show
ing the value of a mile of each system as
determined by capitalizing the net earnings
at 6 per cent. This was done with the
sanction of Governor Mickey, who approves
of the use of the net earnings and market
value of the capital stock and bonds as
excellent indication of value.
With the exception of the Union Pacific
comparatively few changes will be shown
since all other lines report slightly de
creased net earnings, and for that reason
but little change has been made In the ag
gregate, except for the Union Pacific.
During the discussion Secretary of State
Galusha demanded that the final figures
be made without any, further delay, but
his colleagues would pot accede, since It
has been the practice to prepare these
preliminary assessments and then go over
thein finally before completing the min
utes. It was understood that no formal
vote was being taken on them, although
tbey were decided on by the consent of
the majority, the governor asking them
to turn In what assessments they consid
ered proper. When the minutes are for
mally made up the votes will be recorded.
There was some discussion as to the ad
visability of making the estimates unani
mous, but Secretary of State Oalusha, who
stood for an Increase from $4,000 to $6,500
on the 128 miles of the Wllmar branch of
the Great Northern, established a contrary
crecedent by refusing to give In when his
fellow members agreed on $6,600 a mile,

The big clash has been anticipated over

Vice President Fairbanks and party ar
rived in Omaha at 5:10 Monday afternoon
over the Union Pacific. After their private
car had been transferred to the rsortn
western the vice presidential group de
parted at 6:40. They go from here to De
troit, Mich., and thence to Flint, In that
state. On June 7. at Flint, the vice presi
dent will make an address at the laying of
a cornerstone, after which he will proceed
with his family to their home in Indian
apolis. Seen for a few minutes on the arrival of
his train at the depot, Vice President Fair
banks said he had thoroughly enjoyed his
trip to Portland. "Of course. It has been
a good deal of a flying trip," he said, "but
we had an opportunity to see and hear and
came away with a decidedly favorable Im
pression of Portland and ls exposition.
That Is a country of magnificent prospects
In a material sense. Its future seems full
of golden promise in every way. The peo
ple who are at the head of the exposition
have accomplished a feat that will redound
to their credit for years. There have been
few if any more satisfying displays of
material, artistto and educational products
and facilities than are shown' at Portland,
although not on as large a scale as at
other expositions.
Impressed by Prosperity.
"We arrived In Portland the day before
the opening of the exposition and left the
day after Its formal opening. So you can
realise we have been traveling at a fairly
rapid pace. It was quite cool when we
left Portland and ere were rather surprised
to run Into such warm weather In Ne
braska. Still your people can console
themselves In the thought that this kind
of weather Is Just the thing to make a
bumper corn crop. I have been mightily
impressed with the evidences of progress

somewhat travel stained, was tgenlal be

'and conduct. The swinging door of the
stateroom threatening to close and shut off
what little air there won, the visitor was
about to reach down and place a slipper
that was lying on the floor against the
door. The vice president beat him to it
and fixed the slipper under the door him
self, adding a curling Iron to It to make
sure the contrivance would hold. "There,
that will keep It," he said, ha straight'
Union, you know, which was my home
when I was a boy. TUat is an occasion I
am looking forward to with a great deal
of pleasurable anticipation."
Of the politics germ, apparent or unde
veloped, the vice president would not con
sent to talk. He did not intimate that he
considered the thought of It impertinent or
untoward. lie was simply dlgnlfiedly and
courteously silent on that topic. And he

the total assessment of the Burlington wi
contemplated, but a redistribution of the
assessment as between the branches and
the main line was contemplated.
The board agreed to leave the. LOGS miles

Grand Island Team Strong-.
GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. June (.(Spe
cial.) The Grand Island base ball team
has opened the season, under the manage
ment of Henry Slevers, and defeated the
high school and the Hastings city team In
two successive games. The former was de
feated by a score of $ to 4, the Glade broth
ers being the battery for the high school
team In order to strengthen the same. In
the game with Hastings yesterday the
Hastings crew could do little with Art
Glade, a brother of Fred Glade of the St.
Louis Browns, while the locals pounded
Foote unmercifully. Grant and Shafstall
making home runs in succession. The
Hustings team threw up In disgust at the
end of the fifth Inning, but to satisfy the
crowd, played two Innings more. With the
exception of the catcher the local bunch
showed up strong from the start, and Man
ager Slevers today secured Wolta of the
Schuyler team for the receiving station.
The score of the game with Hastings was
1$ to 6. the locals running in ten scores in
the third Inning.

This company has trackage agreements

If this contract light had any money value

The only proper measure of such value for

Attorney F. C. Hamer today asked Gov

Barker casa. Governor Mickey did not give
him any encouragement, but It Is believed
that he will grant the hearing. An effort
will be made to convince the governor that
the man who is to be hanged a week from
Friday for the murder of hia brother and
sister-in-law Is insane.

Delay In Completing Asylnm.
Numerous complaints are being made be
cause of the delay In getting the Norfolk
asylum ready fot occupancy. The board
today let a contract to a Norfolk architect
to assume charge of the work, but
the actual work of rebuilding the
old structure remains to be con
tracted for. Beacuse of the lack of plumb
ing and sewerage no more patients can be
taken there. Twenty able-bodied patients
from the Lincoln hospital were taken to
Norfolk several weeks ago to assist tn
the preparation of the grounds. At the
present time both the Lincoln and Hast

and at the former Institution some are

not another female can be received. The

It Is not so much of a calamity that a man
contracts disease or weaknesses, but that
ha neglects them falls to secure the proper
treatment for their cure.
To men who are weak mentally, mor
ally and physically, whose systems
have at some time been polluted with
poisonous private diseases, those
whose depleted manhood forbids any
advances toward matrimony and who
have made the mistake of marrying
while tUere lurked In their system
some frightful weakness or poisonous
taint of private diseases, and who now
find themselves on the verge of social
ruin. To all such men a conscientious
and experienced doctor would advise
you to consult without delay the beat
specialists. One who has made a life
long study of just such c&sea. One
who can quickly and fully understand
your troublna. One who will not de
ceive you with false promises or un
businesslike propositions. One who can
and will cure you In the shortest pos
sible time and st the least expense to
you. Any man In need of such medical
advice or treatment should come at
once to the ELECTRO MKDiCAL.
