While It la not overlooking anything near

already cast It eye at the next legisla
ture, and In all probability It will recom
mend that an appropriation be made to In
vestigate and And out the real value of
railroad property In Nebraska. Unlem the
national commission ' doe this within the
next year. It Is likely the Nebraska legisla
ture will be asked for the money and the
work will either be done by the commission
or by a committee appointed for that pur
pose.
Member Clarke believes It I essential that
the true value of railroad property In Ne
braska be dlsoovared so that the commit
slon may proofed Intelligently to make
freight rates without fear of living them
set aside. While nothing was said about
the value of railroad property as fotrl and
fixed by the Btate Board of Assessment, It
Is supposed the commission Is willing to
take the word of Mr. Eustls of the Burl
ington, that all' railroads have a taxing
value and a commercial value which are
different. Mr. Eustls made this statement
before a legislative committee last winter.

LIMITED TRAIN IN DITCH
Westbound IO Anareles Train De
railed Jast After Faastaaf
Piatt River Bridge.
NORTH PLATTE, Neb., June The
westbound Loa Angslea limited express on
the Union Pacific was wrecked at the west
end of the Platte river bridge near here at
o'clock tonight. Practically the whole
train was derailed, two sleepers being
turned completely over. No one waa killed
and only on passenger, a Los Angeles
woman, name not ascertained, was Injured.
The wreck was caused by a wheel breaking
on the car while the train was still on the
bridge. The baggage car left the track, but
the heavy guard rail prevented It falling
Into the river, and the train remained In
tact until It cleared the bridge. The train
will be tied up until morning.
Union Pacific officials consider It most
tacky that no more were Injured In the
wreck Tuesday night at North Platte than
were reported. The only person seriously
Injured was Miss H. Blumenthal, 623 West
Lake street, Los . Angeles. She Is In
charge of a physician at North Platte.
The baggage car. the tourist car and the
diner all stood upright, but two sleepers
were thrown on their sides. None of the
cars was badly Injured and the track was
cleared up at 11:30 Wednesday morning.
There jwere fifty-six passengers on the
train and the wonder Is that no more
were Injured. It was fortunate the gas
tank did not explode, as was the case In
a similar wreck last fall at Ah Bay. The
accident was caused by a tire slipping on
the Ban Pedro baggage car, causing the
wheel to break.
NO FRANCHISE FOR NORTH PLATTE
Two Propositions Are Voted Down at
Special Election.
NORTH PLATTE, Neb., June M. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Propositions to'vot twenty-year
franchises to the North Platte
Water Works company and to the Electric
Light and Power cpmpany of thl city were
both voted down at a special election held
here today. Upon whether or not a fran
chise should be granted to the water works
company the vote atood 176 for and 803
against. Upon whether or not a twenty
year franchise should be granted the elec
tric light company the vote stood 215 for
and 257 against. The result of the election
means that no franchise can be secured by
any corporation for public utilities In this
city. Last fall the proposition for the city
to purchase the water works for (85,000 was
voted down because the price was consid
ered exorbitant. Now both electrlo light
and water works franchises expire and
probably municipal ownership, will result.
If the water works company will not sell
on a reasonable basis then the jelty likely
will build an independent plant.

the hall came there Is a probability that It
would not have recuperated from the set

BENEDICT Reports are coming In of
great loss and damage which occurred from
the high wind storm and hall. The greatest
loss Is to farmers who live In the district
south and east of Stromsburg In Pork
county. Th storm commenced south of
Etromsburg and traveled east Into Butler
and Seward counties. The strip I reported
In some place to be four mile wide and In
other localities a mile wide. Where corn
was up and doing well. In the hall strip
there Is no vegetation to be seen whatever,
and large wheat fields, which promised to
yield from forty to flftv bushels oer acra
and had headed out and In two weeks would
be harvested, were cut to the ground and
nothing will be derived from the wheat In
the hall district. East ad west of Bene
dict there was no hail, but the hlxh wind
blew down over a hundred wind mills.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL CLASH
Dahlman Tells License Inspector to
Rescind No Executive Permit.
WAGGONER PLACED IN QUANDARY
Between Order of the Council and
Command of the Mayor He
Doe Not Know What
to Do.
License Inspector Waggoner is In a
quandary. The council has ordered him to
take up all permits and Monday, before
the resolution was passed, the mayor told
him, that, should the resolution pa, he
should make no attempt to Interfere with
permits Issued from the office of the chief
executive of the city.
According to statements from both the
license inspector and the mayor the council
Is making much work out of small affair.
"1 have checked over the list of person
doing business under permits Issued from
thl office," said the license inspector, "and
find that there are Just four persons who
have permits, who have not made doposlts
on account of license. Two of these were
issued to persona who had no money to
pay a license and were keeping themselves
out of the pauper class by their sales. ' An
other ws to the man who 1 selling or
giving away waffles to advertise a brand
of flour and the fourth one was to a man
Who I going to open an auction house
July 1, and desired a permit to do a little
business while he was getting hi stock ar
ranged.
Ten or twelve men are doing business on
permits Issued pending payment of license
fees, a part of which have been received.
It is my Intention to take up all the per
mits I have granted. In the case of men
who have made partial payment on license
they must produce the balance of the money
and secure a license or lose their deposit."
Mayor Not So Certain.
Mayor Dahlman Is not so decided as to
his course as the license inspector. He
says:
"I haven't decided what I will do In the
matter. I am making preparation, to go
on two weeks' vacation and don't want tq
leave with a contest on hand. It might be
easy to stay and light it out If I wanted to,
but the, matter is really so small It may
not be worth the trouble. I have been look
ing over the records and find Just twenty
four lioensea issued by this office are now
in effect. Of that number about half will
expire by limitation July 1. In every case

of charity to the people In business and In
I the one case It was a matter of charity
to his family who depends upon him for
' support and he seema to be unable to do
j heavy work.
"It Is likely some of the eouncitmen wtio
' voted for the resolution were doing so under
a mistaken idea. There are two classes of
' permits from this office and the majority
of push-cart owners hold one In addition
to their receipt for license money. This
comes about through their desire to secure
a more or less permanent stand. They
secure the permission of a merchant to
i stand their cart In front of a store and
I then I Issue them a permit to use that part
of the street so a policeman will not compel
them to move on. It Is more than likely
that councllmen have seen this permit and
thought It took the place of the license,
for It does not seem to me that they would
go to the trouble they have done to driv a
doxen cripple out of business."
