IJNCOIN, July 18. (Special) The State
Board of Equalisation listened this morn
ing to J. B. Snidelar, county assessor, and
Count jr Attorney Mapta of Colfax county,
and to Assessor Baker of Knox county.
ytha former two asking that their county
aaseajrnent be nn Increaaed and the lat
ter asking for a flat reduction of 10 per
cent. Owing" to the fact that there are
yet alx counties out the hoard cannot feet
down to business aa It would like to, but
will, until theaa eountlea net In, figure up
the assessment of cattle, horses and hogs
to ae about the average. During hla talk
to the board Mr. Baker aald he had
trouble with one of the hanka In hla
county that wanted to deduct more than
to per cent of Ita capital atock which It
Claimed to har Inveated In real estate.
Mr. Baker .held that It waa Illegal for a
bank to carry mora than 10 per cent of
Ita capital atock In real estate and there
fore all the real estate th bank held In
excess of thla amount ha assessed aa real
eetate. It If probable that the attention
of th Banking; board will' be called to
the Knox county bank.
Mr. Baker aa an exeua for asking a '10
per cent reduction In th assessment of
Knox county aald tita county had to pay
the cost of locking; after some LSOO Indiana
that other eountlea didn't have to look
after. He filed thla written statement with
the board, signed by Chairman C. F.
Ehalander of th Board of County Super
visors: The County Board of Supervisors of
Knox county respectfully request that the
Knox county assessment for li be re
duced 10 per rent and suggest th follow
ing; reasons therefor:
There la a resident. Indian population In
Knox county of 1,811
There is In Knox county 100,27, acres of
Indian land, non-alienable and non-taxable.
By reason of a derision of the supreme
court of the United States rendered In the
spring of 1905 the enforcement of the excise
laws devolves upon the county In which
the Indiana reside, and the expenne of the
enforcement of these lawa Is estimated at
11,000 per annum.
If these Indian landa were taxable the
county taxes coming; therefrom would
amount to anout gl.&oo annually; conse
quently the people of Knox county whose
tanns are taxaoie are ODiigeo to pay aoout
lz.609 per annum more taxes for county
riurposes alone and about Ift.OQO annually
n county, state and municipal taxes more
than taxpayers of other counties pay upon
an equal amount of property.
Thts board believes that thla Is nnlust
and should be corrected ss far as possible
by the State Board of Equalisation.
A atatement by W. K. Meagiey, superin
tendent of Indians In Knox county, allow
ing the number of Indians and the allot
ment in tnat county is attached. The state'
t ment says:
The last census. 1904, shows a population
tf 1.J13. Homesteads, non-alienable and
non-taxable, 12. 875.76 acres. Allotments.
non-alienable and non-taxable, 66,110.09

authorities to assume the same control

Urn HeJ th Inspector.
It la very probable that Nebraska will
worry along; wlhout a state health In
, apeotor during; th next two years and
that Dr. 8. R. Town of Omaha will lose
his H.800 job. When It , was discovered
yesterday that the legislature . failed to
appropriate th salary for th Inspector
and the attorney general held that It would
net be legal to pay th salary out of the
expenaa fund, on of th board (members
suggested that it would be Just as wall to
dispense with aa Inspector. While h had
not talked formally with th other two
members of th board, h gave It aa hla
opinion that they would not vote for an
officer whoa salary had to be a deficiency,
tnaamaou aa th legislature had seen fit
to ao away with tb salary appropriation.
Consequently It to likely that when ths
time oome to nam a gucoessor to Dr.
Town th board will refuse to act and let
th offloe b vacant.

GOOD 1VEWS FROM THB FARM"
Wheat Exceeds Kxpectatlons and
Cora Is Making Good Progress.
As the reason advances Interest In Ne
braska's corn and wheat crops Increases.
At every hotel In Omaha where men from
out In the state meet those In the city; at
the Grain exchange. Board of Trade, rail
road offices and in fact various other placei
of business men are talking "crops." And
there Is a very cheerful tone to these con
versatlons, since news persists In coming
that the wheat output Is far better than
anticipated and conditions for a good corn
crop superior to those a few weeks previ
ous. The fact Is, as gleaned from various
sources, wheat is turning out line and corn
is making wonderful progress. Speaking of
conditions In his country, Joseph Clarke of
Burt county said:
'We will have a good wheat crop this
season, better than for several years. We
have not been bothered with the Hessian
fly at all. Our wheat Is largely spring. The
wet weather has put It back some, but It
will not be materially damaged from that
cause. The corn looks very promising con
sidering the late spring and wet weather.
It Is exceptionally clean and has been well
cultivated and kept free from weeds. The
oats are in fine shape and we will harvest
a larger crop than usual. The hay crop Is
the best I have ever known In Burt county
and on the whole the farmers ara very well
satisfied with the outlook regarding all
crops."
SUMMARY OF CROP CONDITIONS
Weather f the Week Generally Fa
vorable to Cora and Wheat.
WASHINGTON, July 18.-The weekly bul
letin of the weather bureau summarises
crop conditions as follows:
Favorablo temperatures prevailed during
the week ending July 17 throughout the
country. The Intense heat on the Pacific
coast during the latter part of the previous
weea was iouowea oy aeciaeaiy lower tem
perature. Heavy rains interfered with
work In the Ohio valley over a larire oart
of the South Atlantic and Gulf states, but
a very general absence of rain In the west
gulf districts, with only light showers over
much of the Missouri and upper Mississippi
valleys afforded favorable opportunity for
much needed cultivation. Rains would be
of great benefit In the southern plateau
region.
Corn has made splendid progress through
out nearly the whole of the corn belt ami
Is decidedly Improved in the states of the
Missouri valley, where its previous progress
has been retarded by cool weather. While
the general outlook for this cron is verv
firomislng, it has sustained some Injury on
ow land In Missouri and in portions of the
South Atlantic east Gulf states and Is not
In a good state of cultivation in portions of
the Ohio valley. Further reports of In-
Jury to harvested winter wheat are received
from tne Eastern Mississippi and Ohio val
leys, the Middle Atlantic states, Texas and
Oklahoma and Indian Territories, but no
complaints of the character are received
from Kansas and Nebraska, both quality
and yield In the last named state being bet
ter than was expected. Harvesting, where
not flnished'in the more northerly districts,
is well advan ird.
Spring wheat has experienced a week of
favorable weather and continues In prom
ising condition. While rust Is still prevalent
In the Dakotas and to some extent in Min
nesota Is not increasing In the first named
states and there is very little in Minnesota.
Spring wheat Is filling nicely on the North
Pacific coast, where the hot winds of the
previous week caused but slight Injury,
Rust Is Increasing in Washington. In the
Central Mississippi and Ohio valleys and In
portions of the Middle Atlantic states oat
harvest has been interrupted and consid
erable damage to both Harvested and stand
Ing oats has resulted from wet weather.
Harvesting Is largely finished), except In the

Iely,
The taking of depositions before Notary
Charles W. Teai-sall In the Tom Worrall
grain suit came to an abrupt end Tuesday
morning with the announcement that At
torney Brogan had secured an order of
removal from the state district to the fed
eral court. This proreduro was not In the
least relished by Mr. Worrall and his at
torneys and they Immediately took steps
to check the move. It Is understood they
will go Into the federal court at once and
try to have the case remanded back to the
state courts, and Attorneys Jefferls and
Howell began preparation for this course
Immediately. Said Mr. Howell:
"I am fraok to say we don't like this
order a little bit. We had hoped to get
all the testimony taken this summer. If I
the case goes Into federal court, however,
It mesns there will be little, if anything,
doing for a long time. This Is what the
members of the Nebrsska Grain Dealers'
association want delay."
More In Ills Sleeve.
"Those fellows are smooth," remarked
Tom Worrall, as he hurried to hiq law
yers' offices with a big bunch of papers In
his hands, "but we have a good deal up
our sleeves and we are not telling what
It U.
Charles T. Peavey, Worrall' a partner and
bookkeeper for the firm, was to have be
gun hla deposition Tuesday, but the story
In The Bee from Blair regarding the order
of removal caused a hasty conference of
Attorneys Jefferls and HowelL They finally
had Mr. Teavey file a signed statement In
which he refused to make his deposition on
the grounds that It would be merely an
"exploring expedition on the part of de
fendants" and the. evidence cannot be used
In federal court. He stated he is willing to
submit to the processes of the federal court,
but as he lives at Council Bluffs, within 100
miles of Omaha, his deposition would be of
no value before that tribunal. He said he
was convinced and satisfied that the order
for removal was applied for by the de
fendants and obtained so as to prevent the
taking of testimony of E. P. Beck, E. 8.
Westbrooke; F. 8. Cowgill, H. G. Miller, N.
. Updike and Floyd J. Campbell, for
horn subpoenas have been Issued by the
plaintiffs. These subpoenas also required
the bringing In of books and records.
F. A. Brogan, attorney for the Omaha
Elevator company, who procured the order
of removal, said it waa asked for on the
broad grounds that Worrall's case was
properly under the laws of the Lnited
States, Inasmuch as interstate traffic was
affected. The Omaha Elevator company
claims to be Incorporated in West Virginia.
The plaintiff as well as defendants buy
grain In Nebraska and ship it out of the
state and Worrall's single elevator Is In
Iowa, at Council Bluffs, although his office
In this city.
It Is thought that the case. Insomuch as
It concerns the railroads and their connec
tions with members of the Grain Dealers'
association, may get before the Interstate
Commerce commission.
Notary Pearsall refused to compel Mr.
Peavey to answer questions propounded
and the taking of depositions is over for
the present.
SOREJIJIIDS
Doctored for Four Months and Tried
Nearly Everything, but Could Get
Only Temporary Relief Better
from First and
SPEEDILY CURED BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES
" My left hand was almost covered
with a large red sore which would itch
terribly. I doctored with it four
months, also tried everything I could
think of, but I would only have tem
porary relief. A competent physician
of Kansas City shook his head and
said, "It looks bad." Then a friend
told me of Cuticura, and as I had tried
so much, I thought I might as well try
that too, and I bought a set of Cuti
cura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent.
Just three days ana n ignis alter t nan
taken the first dose, the inflammation
had all gone from the sore; and when
I had taken three bottfes and a half of
Resolvent, my hand was all well.
" It gives me pleasure to tell you of
this, and if any one wishes to write
to me personally, I shall be glad to
answer. I am never tired of speaking
well of the Cuticura Remedies, (signed)
Mrs. Wm. Pockel, 11S34 State St.,

STILL ANOTHER CURE
Face Covered with Pimples and
.Sores. Skin Now Clear.
" My face was all broken out with
Elmplea and sores. I used Cuticura
oap and Cuticura Ointment for two
months and was completely cured. My
face is in splendid shape now. Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment are Bplendid
for healing all kinds of fiice pimples
and sores. 1 am glad to recommend
them, for they were a great boon to me.
