(From a Staff Correspondent.)
.LINCOLN. Iec. 21. (Special.) City Treas
urer llennlngs of Omaha, who is In the
city for a couple of days, said this after
noon that he Is not a candidate for the
state treaaurershlp, because he is a candi
date for the mayoralty.
He denied that he had authorised the
use of his name in connection with the
state treasurershlp nomination, though he
Intimated that It might have come from
his friends.
"I am anxious." he said, "to wind up
my connection with the city treasury on
January 4 and am trying to determine
some means whereby I can do so and
obtain Immunity for my bondsmen."
Mr. Hennlngs explained that under the
provisions of the new Omaha charter he
Is legislated out of office at the first of
the year, while under another clause of
the same section, thirty-five, he is re
quired from January 4 until the expiration
of his term In May. 1M, to "assist In the
collection of personal taxes uid perform
such other duties as may be required by
ordinance, and shall pay over all money
collected by him to the said county treas
urer, and shall receive the same salary as
provided for said office In the laws hereby
repealed."
He stated that the Board of Education
Insists on his compliance with the last
clause, while others seek to have him
vacate the office January 4.

docs not anticipate any tfitticulty In secur
ing his home delegation, but is not willing

counties.
Governor Haa Hope.
Officials close to the governor and in his
confidence suggest that the cause of fair
railway taxation will not be lost, even
should officials without convictions on the
subject be elected, since The Bee case of
1902 establishes a precedent for the use
of mandamus proceedings to compel the
state board to assess the corporate prop
erty at Its full value. The precedent estab
lished this year will serve as the inln.muin
below which the future boards cannot go,
according to these persons.
Sweet Harmony at Kearney.
Reports brought liom Kearney oy re

Education indicate that the expected claMi

past association of the members.
Neither of the buildings is in such a state
of completion that the board felt Justified
In accepting It. All except $1,600 of the
amount due on the Kearney building was
allowed, making the payment $4,i60. The
money withheld is to be used in finishing
the interior, which will be uompleud by
the first of the year, and (1,000 Is to be
used in painting up the exterior and wash
ing the artificial atone with an acid solu
tion in an effort to remove the stains.
When completed the building, according to
Mr. McBrlen, will be one of the best owned
by the state.

Realty I P More Tnaa Railways.
Governor Mickey has secured a compila

the assessment of land values In the east

that some counties advanced more than
whose
average increase was TS per cent. The gov
ernor called attention to the fact that the
realty values used by the railways In their
comparison Include the western counties,
where land was assessed at more than one
fifth and sometimes as much as one-half
before the new law took effect requiring
the use of one-fifth. The governor's fig

way. The percentages are aa follows:
