SEPARATE CHARG. FOR SUNDAY PAPER El and Woald-Be-Aetaln Congressman Shows New Administration Soma ' Via Points la Frensled i'luare, W'hlls not exactly a "salary crab," a tit tle rapblng seems to be going on much nuaitr horns than Washington or even Ne liawaa. An avaricious tendency shown by the Yv orld-Herald In trying to charge double rate for puollihlng oniclal notlct-a In the bUiMlay papet la caUsiag. criticism at the cfty-tU"XTVN'6Ha-Hrald submitted the lowest "bids tbr city advertising recently l.iu aa awarded the contract without a Contest. . It waa supposed all along that til Sunday Wor.d-Herald is ar. Issue Of the Evening World-Herald, under which style the contract was awarded, because the law expressly provides that the advertising snail be In a cdayy" newspaper. In the .past the "independent"-demo-pop organ, in contests with The Bee, has claimed that such was a fact, but now Publisher Hitchcock sees fit to take an en tirely different position. He has notified the city that the Sunday World-Herald Is hot an edition of the evening paper, nor to be so considered In any sense, and that if the city wants publications' on Sundays, In Order to assure consecutive advertising as enjoined by law. It must pay-double the contract rates for the privilege. The Bee, during .the many years which It was the official paper, printed notices In the Sunday morning Issue, as required, charging no mora than the rates agreed on. What the I .aw Sara. Certain notices with regard to pnvlng must be advertised for fifteen consecutive dsys, according to law, and others re lating to sewers, seven days. By reason of a supreme court decision holding clearly on the subject, Sunday was regarded as on of the links In the consecutive chain, regardless of an apparent conflict with the criminal code. Consequently the Sunday morning papers were called Into service and the plan met legal tests. The present legal department I looking Into the matter, to ad viae the cltv clerk how he shall act. Assistant Attorney Puan. while not ready to express, his opinion, seems to regard the Sunday pub lication a unnecessary. The Wools' Question Is one so Important that some city hall attaches are urging that the World-Herald claims be Ignored and the policy that has protected the city in the past be followed to the letter, lest there occur another series of faulty Im provement levies, mranlng th escape from taxation of a large number of property owners perfectly able to pay. Already the city clerk's office has been stumbling In the matter of publications and notices to construct sidewalks. Ad vertisements have been printed that are clearly insufficient, and the errors not yet recognised, apparently. Owing to mls takes In dates of notices Involving about 10O lots a city sidewalk contractor was compelled to pull off a force of men build Ing permanent walks the other day. A delay will occur now of a month or more, so that the mistakes may be corrected. The Inconsistency was discovered by the city engineer's office. ' , son. Wlnkleman leaves a wife and three children.

It is toothsome and fully cooked at the factory. (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, July 27. ( Special.) Sine th publication of the shortage of auto mobiles reported to the State Board of Equalisation, compared with the number registered In the office of the secretary of state, th telephones have been kept busy by county assessors explaining. Those who are not explaining the automobile shortage ar protesting against an in crease In the value of horses and mules. The county clerk of York county today sent In tiie names of those who own ma chines that were assessed, which, how ever. Is short of th number registered. He asked that the registration be sent him, and the owners of machine Will bo looked up. The explanation offered by several of th assessors Is the same, as anticipated n this column; the automobiles had not been separated from vehicles, though the schedule plainly provides they shall be listed separately. The assessor of Jefferson county comes to the defense of his deputies and his own assessment by telling th state board It wouM be an Injustice to increase mules In his county 10 per cent, as th board contemplates. He wrote In one precinct sixty-three head of mules, months old which were assessed at an actual value of 12,620, and In another precinct thir teen head of 1-year-old mules, which I were assessed at an actual value of ISO a head, while fifteen 2-year-old mules were valued at $100 a head and fifteen J-year-old mules at 1115 a head and two 4-year-old mules at $ W5 a head. The assessor of Burt county, E. F. Sis- son, m-rltes he noticed the board intended to Increase tho valuation of horses 10 per cent in his county. He said Burt county horses were assessed high enough, inasmuch as the assessment Included a large number of Indian ponies, which were worth from $10 to $30 each, and these cut down the average assessment. Assessor Reed of Douglas county wrote the board he would not object to an in crease .in horses If It was necessary In order to make the assessment of live stock in Douglas county come up to the assessment of the rest of the state. The board will meet again tomorrow, at which time it will pas upon the au tomobile proposition. The action of the board last year In Increasing a number of counties has resulted In the assessors making strenuous efforts to keep up the valuations this year. Hard Flirht on Pollard. Friends of Judge Paul Jessen are going to make a mighty effort to prevent Con gressman Pollard from going back to con gress this year and a number of Pollard's friends In Lancaster county have already showed signs of cold feet. Judge Jessen, so It Is announced, will Inaugurate a speechmaklng campaign and visit every county in the district except Lancaster and Cass. The fact that Pollard, the farmer's friend, took salary to which he was not entitled under the law or morally, so his opponents say, has discredited him, and the fact that the Journal-News, the fake reformers, are apologizing for Pollard by saying Senator Millard did the same thing has not helped . Pollard materially. Just how the contest will come out, of course, it Is Impossible to predict. Pollard's friends claim he will win easily notwith standing the salary matter, because he was a beneficiary of the combine -by which the Journal-News-Brown allies landed the Lan caster delegation for Brown and Pollard and shut out Sheldon, Cass county's favor Ite for governor. News la Officious. L The Lincoln News, the junior member of the bunch of fake reformers, has now gone Into Cass county and told ShrHou whom he must appoint on his delegation to the state convention and whom he must leave off of the delegation,' thus assuming the management for Sheldon the same as It has assumed to manage Dr. Wlnnctt's delegation. This has created some talk In Lincoln because the News Is a part of the cum blnatlon that threw Sheldon here when it had a chance to endorse him for governor after using Sheldon's name to get votes for Brown In Lancaster county. Lancaster Repablleana Organising;. The republican, nominees of the county convention met this afternoon and selected J. B. Baer, deputy district clerk, chairman; Howard Schlagel, secretary, and Beman Fox treasurer of the county committee. These names will be recommended to the committee for adoption, the committee hav ing final power In the matter. Walton Roberts, the present chairman, did nut want to serve again. Examining; Teachers' Paper. The beard of examiners appointed to grade papers submitted by teachers. In ac cordance with the new law enacted by the last legislature, has don a record-breaking business th last month and as a result reports were mailed back this afternoon to the following counties: Dawes, Hitchcock, Dakota, Custer and the Fremont Normal school. These papers Included th July examinations. Inasmuch aa the teachers ar anxious to know how they came out at their examinations, the board Is work Ing overtime to keep up with the receipt of the papers, and It may be of Interest to know that while the western counties hav submitted their papers and have had them returned, th nearby counties. Including Lancaster, nave not yet sent in tn exam ination papers to be graded. Those who pass the examination, after having attended the summer schools, it Is said, will receive from $5 to $10 each more on the month than In the past, as those kind of teachers ar in demand all over the state. Money to Keep Hospital Opts At Its meeting this morning the Board of Public Lands and Buildings authorised the expenditure for the maintenance of th Orthepedlc hospital of all the money which that Institution had received from pay pa tients, amounting to soma $1,000. Th meet ing and action waa due to a letten received from Dr. John P. Lord, superintendent. of Omaha, who wrote that the Institution would have to be closed by October unless soma way waa provided by which Its ex penae could be paid. He called th board's attention to the $1,000 which had accrued to the institution, but said without an or der from th board this money could not be spent. The last legislature, which created this institution, appropriated $10,000 and pro vlded that when this sum waa spent there should be no deficiency, but that th lnstl tutlon should close. Th law, however, al lowed th Institution to accept money from other sources and use it. SHERIFFS. MKET AT BEATRICE Seat Sesal-Aaanal Meetla to Bo Held at Geneva. BEATRICE, Neb.. July 27. (Special.)

(Special) The report has become current arid ha been assldlously circulated throughout tho Sixth congressional district, presumably by populist newspapers and members of that party, that Fort Niobrara was to b abandoned as a military post. Congress man Klnkald has just received the fol lowing from the secretary of war, which clearly proves the report to be erroneous: WASHINGTON. Julv 15 Mv Dear Judge Klnkald: There Is no truth in tho statement that Fort Niobrara is to be abandoned as a military reservation. On the contrary It will lie retained for mil itary purposes, especially that of en campment. 1 have Just directed the allot ment of about $300,000 for an addition to Fort Robinson. Very ' sincerely yours. WILLIAM H. TAFT. This fort was slated for abandonment three years before Judge Kinkald entered congress, but. his persistent efforts to have It retained, and th efforts of tho balance of the Nebraska delegation, has been successful, as will be seen from the above.
