DIFFERENT ROADS ASK A DAY TO BE HEARD Rearetratatlves af Great Jlorthera'e O'Neill Mae Willing to Stand Assessment Made aa the Llac Last Year. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May 7.-(Speelal.)-The annual meeting of the State Board of Assessment be iran this morning In the office of Gov. ernor Mickey with all members present except Auditor Searle, who will not return to the city until about the middle of the week. Only two railroads were represented. the Chicago. St. Paul, Minneapolis 4 Omaha, by T. A. Polleys, and the Great Northern, by Charles Hayden, though. t the afternoon session R. J. Clancy of the t'nlon Pacific and R. D. rollard, tax com mlssloner of the Burlington, showed up and asked (or later dates at which to address the board. State Treasurer Peter Mortensen Intro duced the following resolution asking for Information from the Northwestern re garding securities owned by the road and not heretofore returned to the board. The resolution was seconded by Secretary of State Oalusha and was adopted unani mously: Whereas, The sworn statement furnished this hoard by the Chicago ft Northwestern Hallway company. In comparison with Its forty-sixth annual report for 1905, would seem to Indicate that sundry obligations. aggregating about 23,000,000. were omitted from said statement. Therefore, be It Resolved, That the secretary of this board be and Is hereby directed to notify the proper officers of said corporation to appear before this board at Its earliest convenience and show cause, if any, why said obligations should not be reported to this board and considered In ascertaining a Just and fair valuation of said company's property in this state. Unless the officials of the Northwestern csn explain the apparent dlacrepancy to the satisfaction of the board It Is not unlikely an effort will be made to add this amount to the valuation of this road for several years back, though the members of the board are not sure whether this can be done. Mr. Polleys asked that he be allowed to address the board on the day the North western road is called upon, and this date will be set as soon as the officials notify the secretary when they can answer the Mortensen resolution. Old Assessment Satisfactory. Mr. Hayden Immensely pleased the board by saying he did not expect a de crease In his road from Sioux City to O'Neill, but he desired It left where It now Is, at $5,000 a mile. Some members uf the board Intimated they thought this road could stand a reduction In compari son with the earnings of some of the other roads, but Mr. Hayden very gener ously told the board the road had enjoyed very prosperous times during the last two years and the officials were satisfied the property was now assessed at about the same rate as other property along Its line. He asked, however, that the ex tension from Sioux City to Ashland be treated this year as property with little ralue, as trains were not yet running, ex cept at the terminals, as the roads had not yet been Joined. Eaton auggested that Mr. Hayden bring. In a report of the cost of the right-of-way and of all the money Invested by tha corporation, which he thought would be a fair valuation of the property. Hayden agreed to do this and Qovernor Mickey thanked him fc. not asking a decrease In the other branch of the road. - -' ' Representatives of the t'nlon - Pacific and the Rock Island will be heard May 14, and of the Burlington and St. Joe & Grand Island, May 15. Mr. Clancy and Mr. Pollard left for Topeka tonight to ap pear before the Kansas board tomorrow, R. B. Wladhnm for Trastee. Governor Mickey this afternoon appointed R. B. Windham of Plattsmouth a member of the board of trustees to look after the School for the Deaf and Dumb at Omaha and the Institute for the Blind at Ne braska City. Frank W. Haller of Omaha was reappointed a member of the Library commission. Inebriate Law Assailed. John 8chwartlng of Antelope county, con fined In the Insane hospital at Lincoln be cause it Is alleged he Is an Inebriate, has filed sn application In the supreme court to get out under habeas corpus proceedings. He asserts the law is unconstitutional be cause it deprives a person of his liberty without a trial by Jury. Norfolk Asylam Troablea. While Governor Mickey will not say whether he has or not. It Is understood he has asked for the resignation of Dr. Nicholson of the Norfolk asylum and the fate of Superintendent Alden hangs In the balance. For some time complaints have been coming to the governor that the In stitution was not being conducted Just as 11 snould and'he hse been quietly Investi gating. Today Judge Barnes, C. E. Burn- ham, Dr. Palter and Dr. Nicholson called upon the governor and two of the women employes were down to see him. The gov ernor refused to minks any statement other than to say he had the matter under ad visement and would ssy nothing until he hsd decided whst to do. While It is said the governor Is much Im pressed with Dr. Alden and believes he la a good man for the head of the Institution, it Is ssld the doctor has allowed a number of Norfolk politicians to plsce men In the Institution with whom he cannot get along. Dr. Alden has not shown. It is said, suffi cient backbone to run the institution for which he Is responsible. Guardsmen Go to Fort Riley. Adjutant General Culver has received no tice that the Nebraska National Guard will assemble at Fort Riley at the time of the army maneuvers and take part therein. Inasmuch as the government only appro priates 1750,000 for this purpose and the money has to be prorated among the various states. It will not be possible for Nebraska to send both regiments, though there will be enough money to send one. The dst rests largely with the guard, the department having asked the general what date would suit the atate best. Herd man Plans to Shallenberger. R. E. Lee Herdman, former clerk of the supreme court. Is by no means out of atata politics, as has frequently been announced. Mr. Herdmsn came down from Omaha this morning, and besides attending to some personal business spent a pretty busy day putting In a good word for A. C. Shallen berger for the democratic nomination for governor. Herdman told a number of Lin coln politicians Shallenberger waa the man to nominate and thus those who opposed him and were for Berge were those demo crats who opposed Parker when he hap pened to be the democratic nominee for president. Some of the democrats here take the activity of Mr. Herdman to mean that Hitchcock and Shallenberger have tied up, the former for senator and the latter for governor.

BROKEN BOW District court convened LONGFELLOW SAID: Just a plain bit of good. old-fashioned common sense. Now apply common sense to your "health of body and mind." It's largely a question of "We lead but one life here on earth; We must make that beautiful, And to do this, health and elasticity of mind are needful, And whatever endangers or impedes these must be avoided. Tood When "run down" or ailing in any way yon may be sure the life forces are not taking up, from your present food, the things required to keep Body and Brain well. It is very sure you will discover help when the food is changed properly. The reason for advocating GRAPE-NUTS is that this food contains the natural Phosphate of Potash obtained from Wheat and Barley, from which Nature makes (in combination with Albumen of the food) the gray filling of Brain and Nerve centers. Build Brain and Nerve up strong and vigorous and you have achieved the power to "make this life beautiful." There's a Reason.

Councilman-elect Jeff VT. Bedford of the Twelfth ward, veteran retail coal dealer and well known as an exponent of the gun and fishing rod, is to be the president of the new city council, unless signs fail utterly. The statement was made by a man who claimed to know that Bedford has at least seven votes pledged to his support. The other candidates are Funkhouser of the Eleventh ward and Pete Elsasser of the Tenth. The former Is the more formidable. Elsasser has another vote besides his own to be cast for him on tho first ballot, and then both are to go to Bedford, according to the ar rangement. Funkhouser la sure of only three or four votes besides his own. A meeting of councllmen-eleet and other Interested persons who propose to hsve a lot to do with habltating the city hall anew was held Saturday, but not much wss done, according to reports given out. The declaration that no appointive offlce would be settled until Mayor-elect Dahl man returns from Excelsior Springs wa reaffirmed. Some of the politicians who went down to the Springs to see Dahlman Sunday are back and very mute, while others have remained for a day or two. and still others are planning to make the trip before the middle of the week, when Mr. and Mrs. Dahlman are expected home again. Notwithstanding th fact that the fran- chlsed corporations are supposed to have had a hand in organising the new council, friends of tho democratic administration that is to take hold May 21 continue their declaration that the corporatlona won't have a word to say when it comes to doing business. As to the rumor that Dahlman had held a seance with officers of the gas, telephone and street railway companies and the first named had promised tl gas, the second reduced rates and local connections . with outside Independent concerns, and the third twenty-five rides for fl and universal transfers. If the ad ministration would quit right there and de mand nothing more, excites noisy chortles from those who know the local corpora tions. No one disputes that the mayor elect conferred all right, but as to any vol untary sacrifices to the democratic de mandsthat Is simply put down In the dope books as addenda to the joke column. Meanwhile Mayor Zlmman baa promised to sit over In a comer of the council chamber with a copy of the democratic platform In his hand and act as a re minder, not always gentle, but tireless. Dealing with the (.id. One of the first things tne new council is scheduled to do, if the old one doesn't do it first. Is to pass an ordinance remov ing the midnight closing edict against the saloons. The concession is expected In view of the fact that the administration can't' smash the Slocumb law and take the lid oft Sundays. Mayor Zlmman. aa chairman of the judiciary committee, has cen carrying around In hla pocket for at a wy a year an ordinance proposing to set the saloon closing time back to 1 o'clock In U e morning. The measure haa slumbered, but a strenuous demand Is to be made on the new council to wake it up. Date for Appolatmeats. To quiet public anxiety on the point It might aa well be made known that Mayor Dahlman's appointments on charter offices are due, according to law, on Tuesday, May a, at the regular council meeting, and for the other ofTloes within two weeks after. The appointive charter office are: City engineer, health commissioner, plumb ing Inspector, boiler Inspector, city elec trician and city prosecutor. All other places have been created by ordinance. The public has evinced some disposition to worry about the appointments of chief of police and fire chief. The mayor haa nothing to do with either, except aa an individual member of the Board of Fire and Police commissioners. The body ap points' the police chief and "employs" the fire chief, according to the express words of the charter. No change is anticipated In either office. Tom Flynn is now said to -nave a dead sure thing on the office of street commle floner. For assistant city attorney difficulty is being experienced In getting acceptable candidates. Lysis Abbott would take the job if he could have an understanding that he could devote a certain amount of tlma to keplng up his private practice, but suck arrangement la said to be Impossible.
