    THE OMAHA
VALUATION NOW CERTIFIED
Secretary Bennett of Bute Board Ahead of
Bnmored Injunction. '
RAILROADS DID NOT TRY TO ENJOIN
Threaten! Fight Bftwrti Eatna,
Halasha and Dearie Tint Likely te
Materialise and They Will
ftfaad on Record Made.
(from a Btafl Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June . (Hpeclal.) Secre
tary Bennett of the Mate board of assess
ment hnii certified to the county clerks
the valuation of the Mr railroads, having
completed the work lute Saturday after
noon, It has been repeatedly reported In
a local paper that too Union Pacific was
working Its legal department overtime to
aet out an Injunction to prevent Secretary
Dennett from attending to this llttla de
tail of Ills work, but If such was the caso
the Injunction will coma too late, as the
wu-k Is already done.
tt looks now that the thieainod fight
between Eaton, Oalusha and Bearle would
not occur, .but that each would stand on
hit record without furthei explanation.
Searlo, Mickey and Morfnscn worked to
gether almost constr.ntly In figuring up the
valuation and before the final vote was
taken these three stood very close to
gether. Most of the figuring woe done by
Searle and the assessment was leigely
worked out or. the basin of his figures. He
opposed the reduction of the Ilurllngton
and at the same time did not believe the
Union Faclflc should be assessed at .113.
oro, It was reported that the Union Fa
cifld brought all possible press-ar to bear
on Ersrle to get him ' to stand for the
assessment of last year, and the fact that
ha couldn't see t'.lnga ttwwt way after
studying the returns of the rood greatly
strengthens the position taken by Mickey
ami Mortenen and at the same time they
give Bcarle much credit for what he did.
Crank misses Mickey.
A real live crank, with Governor Mickey
his objective point, was at the state house
late Saturday afternoon. . The rovernor's
oflW was locked and the crank accosted
Don Dcspain, who was passing.
"I want to see the governor," he told
Desain.
"WBut lo you want with him?" asked
tha eagle-eyed chief and only clerk In the
labor bureau, scenting trouble.
"I am commissioned by tha people to see
him and aee him I will," retorted the
crank. "Ha must not let Sweden run over
Norway. Norway, must be free and the
governor must see to that she gets a
square deal. 'Ha can stop all the trouble
over there If he will. I want to tell him
to do It and If ha refuses then look out
for me, for I am the people."
Despaln, who Is not only hefty but a
diplomat aa well, told the man the governor
was. not in town, and then Invited him to
take a walk. What became of the crank la
not known, as Deapain lost him In tha busy
bustle of O street.
Governor Mickey left yesterday afternoon
for Osceola, whre he spent today. He ex
pect to come back to Lincoln Monday.

NEW TEN-DOLLAR COUNTERFEIT
Ostensibly Issued by n Sewr York
Bank, It I Uood Enough to
l'ass Master.
A new counterfeit 110 certificate or bank
note has put In Its appearance, and aeema
to have been pretty well distributed
through the central west. It Is described
as follows:
Ten-dollar National banknote on the Na
tional Ulster County Bank of Kingston,
New York. Check letter, "B;" B. K.
Bruce, register; A. U. Wyman, treasurer;
charter number, 1050; bank No. 87S; treas
ury No. 11566786. This Is a very poor pho
tographlo reproduction, printed on two
pieces oi mm paper, Detween which a few
black threads have been distributed. The
treasury and bank number have had red
ink applied to them, apparently with a pen.
No effort has been made to color the panel
containing the charter number or th back
of th note. It should be easily detected.
W. H. MORAN, Assistant Chief.
Draper Tackles New Life.
The latest recruit In the -ranks of the Sal
vation army is Charles Draper, a youth
of some IV years. Lrsper has been for
some months past a regular caller at the
police station, where he told the officials
he would rather be , than anywhere else,
lt was he who broks all the windows in
the Bemls Bag company's factory one night
last winter In order that he might be put
in Jail. He was aqcommodated and ?or
several months after he received his mall
regularly at the cltr bastlle. It is said
that Draper got r.Snlon by the merest
chance. He was walking along Sixteenth
street one evening and heard the singing
of one of the army tattles and was so smit
ten by her sweet volte that he then and
there resolved to berime a member of the
organisation. This hrpened several weeks
ago and now Draper Is dressed In the full
uniform of an any officer and Is
taking an active interest In th work of the
soldiers of the arm. He says he likes
his new location and hopes that the police
officials do not mist him from the sta
ro far as they relate to any action had ty
myself or the Reorganlxed church, and the
only theory occurring to my mind which
offers any excuse for such a tirade, either
against the Reorganised church or myself
as Its trustee, Is that John M. Macfarland,
referred to, Is possibly an elder or member
of the polygamous church of Utah, and
that he, with his Utah relations, have taken
this plan to renew their bitter fight against
the Reorganised church of the Latter Day
Saints because of the latter' battle against
polygamy and Its associate evils.
Mr. Oeorgo H. Miller, the stepson, in
troduced to me as such by Mr. Jones him
self, wa an entire stranger to m until
upon the earnest solicitation of Mr. Jones
and hi wife, made direct to me by several
urgent letters of Mr. Jones, I went to
Omaha to arrange property interests be
tween them. Mr. Miller, at the time, I
found to be an honest appearing, hard
working man, and if I remember rightly, a
member of the Methodist church. Mr.
Jones and his wife at the time were fully
competent to transact their own business
and directed the same regardless of Mr.
Miller or any one else, to my knowledge,
and it was arranged under Mr. Jones
direct supervision. Mr. Miller was to have
one of the houses, a niece of Mr. Jones In
Utah another and a third upon the death
of Mr. Jones and his wife to the Reorgan
ized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, they to retain possession and have
the use and benefits during their lives or
of either of them. The church has never
taken possession nor received aa yet. to
my knowledge any benefit from the trans
fer, but hss, fin the contrary, paid to Mr.
Jones and his wife several hundred dollars
to their benefit and comfort.
The reflections In your paper seem to le
quite a common reward of the churches.
Let them do through their officers and min
isters all posqfble to aid their members,
and because a few dollars has been left
them, although a wholly Inadequate com
pensation for the services rendered the
parties, they are at once mode the subject
of attack and misrepresentation by persons
who seem willing to affirm anything In the
hope of gaining a few dollars.
The basis of every gift, offering or dona
tion to the Reorganized church Is and al
ways has been that It must be free and
voluntary on the part of theglver; and this
Is taught the membership privately and
publicly, and for the bishop, trustee or any
other officer to act contrary to this funda
mental principle he would not only fall to
discharge his duty, but be an actual trans
holds and teaches It, and the claim at any
time that the church or its officers has
taken advantage of anyone, either saint or
sinner, to obtain his property during his
lifetime or after his death In an Improper
way may be safely written down as a
slander of the basest sort.
Other assertions made in the article ara
wholly false so far as my knowledge ex
tends. I trust that you will do me the
Justice of Inserting In both your dally and
weekly Issues this hurried reply, or at on
early time correct fully in your own way
the Injurious statements.

LARGE CROWD AT KRUG PARK
Attractions at This Popular Resort
Were Well Patronised Yesterday
Afternoon and Evening.
Krug park never entertained a more
polite gathering of people than was assem
bled yesterday afternoon and evening at
this popular resort. The Royal Canadian
band gave a fitting program at both after
noon and evening concerts, which waa en
thusiastically received, and repeatedly n-
corea. isvery feature of the day's pro
gram, made Its appearance on schedule
time and was carried out with precision
and detail. No disappointments of any
Kina occurred.
The balloon ascension was one of the
most perfect ever presented in spite of tha
stiff gale blowing. J. Waldorf-Hall, who
recently returned from Coney Island, had
the ascension under his personal supervis
ion. The Flying Cliffords presented an act
of much cleverness, continuing a double
trapeze with ,a sensational breakaway
swing, which pVoved their adaptability and
expertnecs a gymnasts. The roller
coaster and ever popular Wonderland were
well patronized.
"The Life of Christ" was given to prob
ably the largest crowd of the season, every
clrcumstancB pertaining thereto, repeated
with a fidelity of detail In Itself remark
able. The car service waa wnrthv
special commendation, the perfect manner
In which the crowds were returned to the
city reflecting great credit on the management.
Hash Sllerhtly Worse.
The condition of 1. W. Nssh was re
ported to be somewhat worse yesterday
afternoon. Although the patient suffered
no serious relapse Hs condition was not
so encouraging durlig the day, and last
night lt was said tha there was no change
for the better or won. The physicians in
attendance still say le la holding hla own.

Elephant Trainer Slaarared.
Hagenbecks trained elephants were
billed to swim at Lake Manawa yesterday
afternoon and that Is why William Mc
Hale. on of the employes of the Hagen
beck show, appeared at the police station
last night with a severe cut 6n the top of
his head. There was a crowd at Manawa
Sunday afternoon to see the elephants do
their stunt, and while waiting for them
to appear on the scene Edward Kelley of
Council Bluffs vented his wrath on Mc
Hale. Kelley picked up a chair that was
standing nearby and gave the elephant
trainer such a lick across the head that
he fell to the ground in an unconscious
condition. He was picked up by two of
his companions and boarded the street car
and at once started for th Omaha police
station. Arriving at the city Jail they
asked for Dr. Wigton. whom McHale said
he had heard of as being one of Omaha a
police surgeon. Dr. Wigton dressed ths
man s wounds, after which he returned to

Meetlnar of the Corporation, the Law
Alumni and Exercise of the
Senior Class on Pro-arrant.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.. Jun 25.-President
Arthur T. Hadley of Yale this morning
delivered the annual baccalaureate address
to tho members of th senior class of the
university at Woolsey hall.
This afternoon and evealng was spent
In showing the visitors about the city and
tomorrow morning the big Influx of Yale
men Is expected. The program will Include
meetings of the corporation, the law school
alumni and the exercises ot the senior
class.
President Hadley' topic was the scrip
tural text, "Except your righteousness
shall exceed the righteousness of the
scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case
enter into the kingdom of heaven." He
said In part:
What was the essential characteristic of
the scribes and Pharisees?
It was this: Tne scribes and Pharisees
made morality and even rellplon a matter
of rules and conventlpns. They looked for
nothing higher and cared for nothing bet
ter than a system of observances which
they had Inherited from their fathers. This
system was not in Itself a bad one.
Why, then, doel devotion to a gond system
of rules and observances like that of the
Pharisees lead its followers astray?
Partly because the practice of relying
upon rules and conventions, however good,
lessens a man's power of meeting the un
foreseen emergencies and crises of life.
But even if no emergencies or crises
arise which stretch our rules to the break
ing point, there Is another and more In
sidious series of dangers which beset the
man whose morftlltv and relitlon are mat
ters of rules alone. The keeping of definite
rules produces self-sntlsfaction and self
satlsfactlnn is but one step short of moral
stagnation. No man, however far and
however well he has managed the voyage
of life, can afford to rest complacent in
what he has achieved.
A man of bad antecedents and surround
ings who recounir.es that they are bad has
greater possibilities than the man who lives
under better rules but sees neither need
nor room for Improvement.
To the college man more than to anyone
else this broad view of Christian duty
should appeal. He of all mankind h
least occasion ror rnansaio complacency.
GROWTH OF CITIES IN AREA
Expansion the Order of the Day In
All Progressive Com
munities, The growth of American cities in area
Is going on pretty steadily and Is not
always reflected by the growth In popula
tion. Ten years ago New Orleans was a city of
aixty square miles area; its present area
ts 196 square miles.
Cincinnati In the same period has In
creased from twenty-four to forty-three
square mile, Denver from forty-three to
fifty-nine, Indlanspolls from twenty to
twenty-nine, Louisville from fourteen to
twenty, BoBton from thirty-seven to forty
two, San Francisco from forty-two to forty-
six, Atlanta from nine to twelve, Duluth
from sixty-two to sixty-seven, New Haven
from nine to twenty. Portland. Me., from
three to twenty-two; Fall River from forty
one to forty-three. Little Rock from eight
to eleven, Newark from eighteen to twenty-
two, and Holyoke from six to sixteen.
The city which has made the largest gain
In area Is New York, which ten years ago
covered sixty-one square miles and now
extension 118 boundaries
to Include Brooklyn, io,. island City and
Staten Island having taken place In the
meanwhile.
Four American cities, all of first Impor
tatnee, have gained little or nothing In area
during the last ten years. They are Chi'
cago, with an area of J90 square miles fit
was 189 ten years ago), Boston with forty,
two, St. Louis with sixty-one and Baltl.
mnr with thirty-one.
Some American cities nre geographically
so built that an extension of their boun
daries is impracticable. Other American
cities have made provision In advance for
the growth which they expected, and an
addition to their boundaries haa not been
necessary.
A majority of the eltles of the country
are larger territorially than they were
twenty year ago, nearly one-half are
larger territorially than they wore ten
years ago. and the Increase of population
In American cities has been general. Rut
New York has made the greatest growth
both In site and number. New York Sun.
