The rainfall occurred In showers and was
generally below normal In eastern counties

Wlnte wheat has continued to grow well
generally. The damage caused by the Hes

creasing. In a few counties considerable
wheat was Injured by hail. The crop Is
ripening in southeastern counties and will

Spring wheat Is doing well, but the acreage
Is less than last year. Potatoes continue
very promising. Oats are heading with very

Preceding the discussion of the Union Pa

before the board In behalf of the Wabash
railroad, which enters Nebraska over a
leased line. Mr. Webster said he would
not Insist that1, the board had no right to
assess the Wabash, as he was In doubt
about that matter himself. The road runs

cent from the assessment of $8,500, but this
motion was also lost, Galusha being the
only member voting for it.
When It was found that the assessment
of the Union Pacific could not be fixed to
day the distribution of the Burlington waa
started, but nothing definite waa done.
The meeting of the board, which contin
ued all day, waa fruitless. This morning
Galusha refused to attend the meeting
and this afternoon Eaton stated flatly that
he would never vote for an assessment
higher than $12,000 on the Union Pacific.
Considerable levity was injected Into the
meeting and some members of the board
at least treated the matter with little
seriousness.
Start on I'nlon Pacific.
Directly after the noon recess John L.
Webster protested against a high valuation
being placed on the Wabash road and then
the board took up the Union Pacific.
"I move you that the value of the Union
Pacific be placed at $62,500 a mile In Ne
braska," said Mortensen.
Galusha seconded the motion, and then
said: "Is there any particular reason for
this valuation?"
'We have considered everything," said
the governor, "and I am of the opinion
that this road should be valued between
$66,000 and $75,000 a mile."
'I think so, too," said Mortensen, "but I
offer this as a compromise. We have taken
into consideration net earnings, the stocks
and bonds and everything In arriving at
board for selling liquor to the Indiana. All
bootleggers have been warned to leave

"Do you want to assess the Burlington
and Northwestern the same way?" asked
Galusha,
'We have done that already," aald the
governor, "but as you were not here yes
terday, we will open up everything and
you can have your say and your vote."
At this juncture It was decided by the
board that the valuation of the Burling
ton made yesterday was only a "final
tentative" valuation and, though It is not
probable, It la possible that this valuation
will be changed again.
The rail call on the Mortensen motion
was as follows: Tes Mortensen, Mickey.
No-Searle, Eaton, Galusha. Motion lost.
Eaton moved that the valuation be
placed at $5S,000 a mile or an assessed valu
ation of $lli00 a mile. The vote stood:
Yea Searle, Eaton. No Mickey, Morten'
sen, Galusha. Motion lost.
Eaton moved that the valuation be left
at $56,000 or an assessment of $11,000 a mile.
The vote stood: Yea Eaton, GalUBha. No

Mortensen then moved that the valua
tion be $66,000 a mile or an assessment of
vote stood: Yes
No Searle, Eaton,

"I am at the end of my string," said
Mortensen; "I am through."
So am I," said Eaton; "I will never go
above $60,000."
Mortensen's motion to adjourn was ob
jected to by the governor and Searle and
Eaton moved that the valuation be made
$60,000 or an assessed valuation of $12,000
a mile. This vote stood: Yes Searle,

the fjgures you have been quoting to me
right along. What la the matter with
them?"
'That waa on a basis that the Burling'

CENTENARIAN PASSES AWAY
Orrea W. Sherman Dies at Fullertoa
at the Act of 103
Years.
PULLERTON, Neb., June 20. (Special.)
Orren W. Sherman, the oldest citlxen of
Nance county and presumably the oldest
man In the state, died of cancer at hla
home in this city on Saturday last and waa
burled In the Fullerton cemetery yesterday
afternoon. Rev. Vallow. pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church, officiating.
Mr. Sherman waa born In Windom
county, Connecticut, October 10, 1802. and
was 102 years S months and T days of age
when death's summons came to him.
While still quite young he married Miss
Amanda Graves, who bore him two chil
dren, both of whom died In Infancy. Within
a few months after the death of hla chil
dren his wife died and he immediately em
barked on a whaling vessel and re
mained for a number of years, circum
navigating the globe four times. After he
returned from his fourth voyage he pur
chased a farm In his native state and later
married Miss Catherine Waltes and re
moved to Mendota, 111... where he resided
till 1862. at which time he moved to Daven
port, la., where he lived until February
1901, when he came to this city.
He leaves surviving Mm a wife, two
daughters, Mrs. Helen Moorhead of Kan
sas, Mrs. Sarah A. Klrby of Sibley, la.,
and three sons, Irvin Sherman of Daven
port. Ia., Lothalr and Oscar Sherman, both
of this county.
Hla aged wife asserts that Mr. Sherman
was never sick until he became a short
time since afflicted with the disease which
caused bis death.
'Mr. Galusha," said Mortensen, turning
to the secretary of state, "haven t you
something to help us out? You ought to
have aomethlng to offer."
Mortensen Tries Again.
"Not a thing." answered Galusha, after
which there followed a long, deep silence.
during which Mortenson composed the fol
lowing motion:
"I move that the Union Pacific railroad,
961.42 miles In Nebraska, be assessed at
$11.960,0n, distributed as follows: Main line.
467.38 miles, at $19,000 a mile, aggregating
$8,880,220; the Omaha A Republican Valley,
428.30 miles, at $6,500 a mile, aggregating
$2,783,950; the Kearney A Black Hills. 66.74
miles, at $4,500 a mile, aggregating $266,830.

where be received, a cordial welcotne.
"GO"
from Council Bluffs In the morning, re
turning within an hour to Council Bluffs
and then spending another hour In "Ne
braska In the evening for the accommoda
tion of Omaha passengers. The road has
no freight trains Into Nebraska, he said.
The three locomotives used by the road on
that half mile track were worth about
$52,600, and this was the figure he suggested
to the board that the assessment should
be based upon. Nebraska, he said, should
be entitled to about one-sixth of the valua
tlon of the assessment on this basis, as the
trains spent only about one-sixth of their
time in Nebraska. In fact, he told the
board, owing to the tolls charged this com
pany for crossing the Missouri, coming into
Omaha was a losing proposition for his
road. The Wabash had no franchise and,
therefore, could not be taxed on that The
board adjourned at E o'clock.
Oalnsha Refuses to Attend.
The morning session of the board was
void of any results. Secretary of State
Galusha, who returned this morning from
Milwaukee, remained In his office and re
fused to attend the meeting, though the
board depended upon his vote to break
the deadlock over the assessment of the
Union Pacific. When asked to attend the
meeting he said:
"The board members got along very well
without me yesterday and they can do It
today. They got together on the Burling
ton while I waa away and I see no rea
son why they cannot get together on the
Union Pacific without me." '
Previous to the time Secretary Bennett
asked Galusha to come to the meeting
Searle had suggested that the board pro
ceed with the distribution of the Burling
ton.
"Before doing that we should watt until
Mr. Galusha la present," said Governor
Mickey. "Yesterday we settled the assess
ment of several roads without him, and I
think we acted very discourteously toward
him. Every member of the board should
have a say In this matter and I would sug
gest that we wait until Galusha gets here
so that he can express his ldeaa about the
matter of distribution."
The members of the board sat around for
a considerable time when the meeting was
first called to order with nothing before
them.
Finally Searle said: "We might Just as
well go ahead with the Union Pacific if
Mr. Mortensen has had a change of heart
during the night"
Weil, I have had a change of heart dur
ing the night," answered Mr. Mortensen.
"Right now and henceforth I want the
Union Pacific valued at $66,000. The figures
I offered yesterday as a compromise were
too low."
I agree with Mr. Mortensen," said Gov
ernor Mickey. "The Union ' Pacific Is as
sessed lower than any road in the atate.
Compared with the valuation of the Union
Pacific we did the Great Northern a great
Injustice yesterday in assessing its lines at
$5,000. The Union Pacific la worth ten times
as much."
Well," said Eaton, "why don't you go
ahead and assess the Union Pacific ten
times as much and confiscate the road and
be done with It."
The members talked along these lines un
til time for the noon recess without accom
plishing anything.
Simpson Has a Grievance.
One H. H. Simpson of Pittsburg, Pa,,
evidently believes himaelf to be a very
much abused man and that he can get re
lief by reporting to Governor Mickey and
Secretary of State Galusha. Each has re
celved a number of letters from him, well
written, in which the writer accuses J. H.
Hageman of Sidney, Cheyenne county, Ne
braska, of having used words in expressing
his opinion of Simpson not found In the voca
bulary used in polite society. A letter
marked "supplement to original" waa re
ceived by Galusha this morning.

LAMBERT GOES UP FOR YEAR
esnssBBBSatasB, V
Convicted Bootleg-gar SenttoSionx Tall
by Judge Manger.
HE MUST ALSO PAY A FINE OF $100
Be.te.eo of the Sl.aior ..4 tlq.or
reddler ranees Jadae Monger and
Attorney Baxter to Make
Slgnlfleant Remarks.
Logan Lambert of Homer appeared In
the United States court late Tuesday after
noon to receive sentence. Being asked If
he had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon him, he entered
a general denial to being present at the
Longtall dance or that he had taken liquor
onto the reservation. Judge Munger there
upon sentenced him to pay a fine of $130
and be confined In, the Sioux Falls (S. D.)
penitentiary for one year and one day.
Lambert was found guilty Tuesday morn
ing of taking liquor onto the Omaha In
dian reservation. The case was given to
the Jury without argument at 9:30 o'clock,
the defense offering no evidence. The Jury
was out less than twenty minutes, return
ing a verdict of guilty.
In passing sentence Judge Munger stated
to the convicted prisoner that there had
been other indictments returned against
him for bootlegging, that he had apparently
been making a business of selling liquor to
Indians In violation of the federal laws.
and that so far as it lay In the power of
this court the traffic should be stopped.
The specific offense of which Lambert
was accused was of furnishing the re
quisite amount of fiery stimulants for a
fast and furious pow-wow at the domicile
of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Longtall, elite enter
tainers of the Omaha Indian tribe. May 10.
Lambert also was Indicted for selling
liquor without license from the govern
ment To this co'unt of the Indictment he
withdrew his former plea of not guilty,
changing It to a plea of guilty. The change
of plea was admitted because It was
shown that while he had a license to sell
liquor In the village of Homer, up to the
end of the fiscal year, he was not entitled
to dispose of tntoxlcants elsewhere than at
Homer.
John Luikart, who was Jointly Indicted
with Lambert for taking liquor onto the
Omaha Indian reservation and selling the
same without license from the government,
was not brought to tralal, the case being
passed on the ground that there waa not
enough evidence In sight to convict
No Rest for Bootleggers.
District Attorney Baxter, In referring to
the sentenced Imposed upon Lambert, said:
"It Is the Intention of the Department of
Justice to go after these constant viola
tions of the laws prohibiting furnishing
of liquor to Indians and prosecute them to
the end. There Is to be no letup upon
these prosecutions so far as they come
within the pale of the federal laws. The
bootleggers have got to quit taking liquor
onto the reservations and selling liquor to
Indians who are yet under the paternal
control of the governments. The Indians
have been debauched enough by these boot
leggers and we propose to put a stop to It" I
Logan Lambert is the saloon keeper who
recently made such a brutal assault upon
Father Schell at Sioux City, and from
which lnjurlea Father Schell has not yet
fully recovered. Lambert was also' Indicted
with Harry Rasdall for conspiracy In sell
ing liquor to Indians, and that Indictment
is still pending In the United States courts
here. It has not yet been brought to trial
on account of the supreme court decision
in the Kansas case, wherein It was held
by Justice Brewer that Indians who had
been alloted lands In severalty were prima
facie citizens of the United States and as
such citizens the federal laws prohibiting
the sale of liquor to Indians who were
wards of the government did not apply. It
Is thought that It would be extremely dif
ficult to secure a conviction against Lam
bert and Rasdall for conspiracy under that
ruling.
