retary Bennett of the State Board or
Equalisation and Assessment completed his
work on the assessments and prepared the
certificates of the state board's action for

work to conclusion In record-breaking time.
much to the surprise of the members of
the board, who had feared that it would
be unable to do the work by August 8, the
statutory limit.
The total revenue on the valuation of
$304,419,840.62, the revised and corrected

$2,130,933.13, of which Douglas county con
tributes about one-tenth,-$208,935.11. The

$162, M M. In the university fund and float
ing debt funds each will get $304,419.32
from a 1-mlll levy.

ment made today. In which he said that
that result would carry out his pledge to
the people to reduce the amount of the

Salllvan to Assist la Grata Case.
It was announced today at the office
of the attorney general that former Chief
Justice Bulllvan will assist in the prosecu
tlon of the grain trust cases. He was In
consultation with Brown during the greater
Dart of the day. Attorney Howell was pres
ent. The latter stated that he had been
called In on questions of fact, because
of the large budget of evidence at his
command. Active preparations are already
under way for the vigorous conduct of
the litigation.
The talk among the grain men belittling
the Drosecution may be a serious matter
If there Is any attempt to put their ut
terances into practice, since it Is under
stood that the first evidence of violation
will lead to contempt proceedings, which
would mean either a large fine or linprls
onment. Attorney General Brown Is con
fident, however, that the defendants In the
suit will not lay themselves liable to any
such penalties.
Jnnkla Law May Ha Valid.
ThevJunkln anti-trust law may be valid.
Attorney Howell who was first quoted as
having soms doubt as to Its validity on
the ground of discriminatory exception of
local corporations and railways, stated
today that he had been given new light on
the subject and rather inclined to the be
lief that It Is valid. He stated that the
act would not be conceded to be unconsti
tutlonal until It Is held to be so by
court of last resort. - This Is regarded as
an Indication that the statute may be
Invoked. The ground on which the act Is
now favored Is the fact that the dlscrtmina
tlon is not definite enough to bring it
within the Inhibitions of the United States
constitution.
The attorneys spent a portion of the
afternoon in ths office of the secretary of
stats looking Into the legislative history
of the bill. It Is stated yiat some of the
amendments were found to have a rather
Irregular course, but nothing vitiating the
act has been found.
Mellor ta Test Reveaae Oaestloa.
Today W. R. Mellor of Loup City Died a
mandamus case against the County Hoard
of Supervisors of Sherman county and the
county clerk In which an effort Is being
mads to compel them to reinstate ths as
sessments of real estate In several town
ships where they lowered the figures as
compared with 1904. They acted under an
amendment to the revenue law adopted by
ths last legislature giving the power to
change realty assessments where It was
apparent that there was a gross injustice
done. Mellor contends that the board had
no power under the provision to Changs
ths assessment by townships, slacs ths ap
plication is to Individual eases of gross
Injustice. The question Invtilved has been
considered by the Btate Board of Equali
sation several times and the members of
that body are lntested In securing a clear-
cut decision, believing that the stand taken
by Mellor Is the right one. Several other
counties attempted the same thing, but
they desisted under orders from the stats
board.

Praise Cod la Ra art I me.
"The church of ths future- must furnish
amusement for the young people and the
children, said Rev. J. W. Jones, pastor of
St. Paul s, in a talk to tne ministers today.
Mr. Jones thought that God could be
praised In rag time music as In the ordi
nary sacred song, because the use of the
light kind of musio for this purpose wrfs
not objectionable if the right spirit was
there.
"John Wesley," said he, "made use of tihe
muslb of the dance hall. If a catchy strain
of an opera can be used to advantage In
the praise of God It ought to be used."
Editor Stephen J. Herben of the Epworth
Herald held a rousing meeting this morn
ing. He told the members of the Epworth
league that there should be more vital piety
among them. He recommended more pray
Ing and spiritual meditation and, also ad

gram.) A shocking accident happened last
evening at the home of Clarence Wolcott, a
