Ab stracts of assessment from eighty coun ties now on file with the secretary of the State Board of Equalisation show a total Increase ever the returns made by the sume counties last year of f 7,120,1 75.91. fclx counties reporting show a total de crease over their assessment of last year of tSll.134.St, leaving a net Increase In the eighty-six counties reporting of !, 711. SSI. 42. The counties showing a de crease are Blaine, Hooker, McFherson, Merrick, Thomas and York. York county's decrease Is 1324.160, but It Is explained by the fact that In last year's returns tha assessor made a duplication of 1500,000 worth of property, which, when subtracted, makes lork county's assessment more than It was last year. Four counties are still out. They are Franklin. Gage, Klm Lall aud Lancaster. Last year these coun ties returned a total assessment of 2S. CJ7.t47. Based on the counties reporting, the In crease per county over last year Is about t7,S61, but this average will be ma terially Increased by the addition of Gage nnd lancAster countloe, even though Franklin and Kimball are returned prac tically the same as last year, as Lancas ter will return an excess of more than 1 1,000.009 over last year. The total as bcasment of all property last year was J0l,470,tl.B6. This year the assessment bids fair to be over $312,000,000. Tho State Board of Equalisation will hold Its first session Monday morning to equalise tho assessments between the various counties. So far only a few of the counties have expressed a desire to appear before the board to protest over tho assessment of some other county, but It Is presumed, before the board concludes its labor, a Icrge number of them will ap pear. The Increase noted Is an Increase over the figures made by the state board last year. Holt county. In Its assessment this year, haa failed to add a 10 per cent Increase, ordered by the board last year, f rtid when this Is done that county's figures on file will be Increased In proportion.

United State senator, waa severely de nounced by a group of democrats at the Llndell hotel Isst night and those who most vigorously expressed their opposition to him were two Omaha democrats who do things. Bald one of these Omaha demo crats: "Hitchcock msy get the 'nomination for congress in Omsha, but he will never be elected. I will do everything I can for him and vote for him and at the same time 1 will bet S5O0 he Is not elected. "He Is the most cold blooded double crosser I ever ssw In politics. He refused to support Dshlman for mayor until he was forced Into It and then he did him as much harm as good. Now he Is jealous of Dshlman because he Is afraid Dahlman may want to be governor or senator. "He double-crossed W. H. Thompson, too, when the letter was the democratic nominee for governor. If he thinks for a minute the democrats of this state will stand for him for senator he Is bsdly fooled. "We hsve Investigated a few of the pre cinct votes cast In the election of dele gates to the state convention and we have found where Hitchcock and his followers knifed Dahlmsn. You can put It down In black and white not a one of those fel lows will have anything to say about the legislative ticket. Walt until the official democratic vote Is published and you can see where Mr. Hitchcock rsn way behind Mayor Dahlman. though the World-Herald published that they got practically the same vote." The other Omaha democrats voiced the sentiment that out In the state Hitchcock was the most unpopular alleged democrst In Nebrsska. !te Hearing- en Price Protest. Insure nee Deputy Pierce has refused to grant a hearing to W. B. Price, who tiled a protest against the Columbia Accident In surance company doing business In Ne brsska. In a letter written to Mr. Price today Mr. Pierce said he had been In formed by the attorney general "thst It Is not within the province of this department to revoke the charter of any company and that It Is a matter for the courts. Such being the case I do not see what action can be taken by the auditor on this com plaint and protest." Preparing for Convention. Chairman Roberts of the republican county committee has named the following executive committee, which will name the temporary chairman of the republican county convention, to he held next Wednes day: . T. H. Benton, Paul F. Clark, Jesse Chappell. J. R. Purbaugh and Joe Cameron. This committee will also audit the accounts of the county committee. Nicholson 'Wants More Time.

The governor gave out the Impression that such a suggestion would not be acted upon, but that Dr. Nicholson would have to get out anyway as soon as the matters could be brought to the attention of the courts.
