Juljr ai-ierlaD-Tho fnlnn Tarlflc railroad will at ial to the district Court of I.nster count from the de cision of the 8'ste Board tit Kquallsatlnn, refuslne; to Increase the value, of real estate. It will par the taxes levied against Ita own property on the assessment made by tha Stat. Board of Assessment under protest, and will then appeal to tha courts to have a portion of the taxea refunded. Tha two aulti arc necnssarr because the Hoard of Equalisation cannot reduce the railroad assessment and It has refused to v Increase real estate values. Kdson Rich, attorney "or the rosd. served notice on tha board this afternoon that as soon as It allowed his bill of exceptions ha would appeal to tha I-anosster district court In tha matter of the assessment of real estate and he later made the statement regarding tha payment of taxes under protest. In this latter suit will coma up and be de tided the question of the valuation of the Union Pacific road by the state board. The board will pass on the bill of excep tions Thursday. Mr. Rich presented to the board a reso lution, setting out that the board had no right to Increase the value of the real estate by reason of the statute requiring this Claas of property to .La assessed every four year. He desired this resolution adopted to complete his record and place him In a position to appeal, but the hoard de murred and finally the following resolu tion wis adopted, omitting the reason for Ita action: Resolved. That tne remonstrance, petition and prayer of the Tnlon I'aclflc Railroad rorrvpsny with reference to land values In the state of Nebraska be denied. With the exception of Treasurer Brian, all of the members voted In favor of the motion. nieh states Ilia Parpoee. It took Mr. Rich practically all diy to ret the board to adopt the resolution, Mr. Brian contending the railroad attorney had no right to come before the board and make up Its record, while Governor Sheldon and other members thought the mere fact that the board took no action on the petition of the railroad companies would be record enough. When the board had finally adopted the resolution, Mr. Rich asked for a rehearing, telling the board this waj a mere matter of 'form and If refused would allow him to pro ceed to the courts according to statute. Governor Sheldon Jokingly said he fa vored granting the rehearing, and for a time H looked as thouxh the request would be granted, even though Mr. Rich desired to leave on his vacation next Frl- day. Finally the governor suggested no action be taken on this motion and after lila remarks were made a part of tha record nothing was done with It. During the argument Mr. Rich said his sole purpose before the board waa to ft the value of real estate Increased and he expressed the opinion that the board had misinterpreted the statutes when It held that It could not do this. The atatute. he said, meant that the assess- tfrnt matte four years ago was to be used ea a basis and each year the Increased value should be taken Into account by the state board, not that the value of real Mate should remain stationary for four years; He presented a resolution to th- board denying his request to Increase real estate values, he said, because ho had been Informed by individual members of the board the board would deny the re quest The train on which the Union Pacific contingent arrived waa late, and before Us arrivU the toward reconsidered the Work It did yesterday In the absence of the governor and changed a few more counties not mentioned this morning. Mr. Brian objected vigorously to this be cause, he said, the board had enterej Into an agreement that when it completed that part of the work yesterday It should not be changed. He, voted against openlns the question, but he voted alone. These counties were Increased, as fol lows: Franklin, mules, 25 per cent; hor03. 1 per cent; cattle, 3i per cent. Rlch tardson. horses, 10 per cent. Thayer, 10 per cent on cattle. The Ftate Board of Equalisation has n , creased the Lancaster assessment 20 per cent and has served notice on Assessor I Reed of Douglas county to be on hand t Wednesday morning to answer questions regarding Douglas county assessment.

Around the court house official business Is at a standstill and every brush pile Is being shaken day and nlftht. A peculiar feature of the campalfm Is the way the reformers and the se'f-named "IH) and Out duo" are trotting along together, and unless there Is considerable cVuble'rroeslrg on primary dsr the result Can be predicted before election. The re form hunch want Judge Lincoln Frost re nominated, and to get hlin they are willing to support any candidate for any other office the "Down and Out club" stirgests. Consequently the reformers had to draw In their horns when P. A. Graham started ut for a renomlnatlon for coroner They had about agreed to support Undertaker Matthews, who st one time lived at Omaha, bit when It was tlsured a knife Into Graham meant a knife for Frost the puhllc fight on Graham Instantly ceaed and the xtewsparrs are letting the coroner's scrap alone. Dr. Graham has held his office for several terms and except that he refused to be dictated to by the reform bunch at the last county convention he has appar ently given splendid satisfaction. Opposition ie Bar Xomlnatloaa. Net only a good many town people, but must cf the farmers, are very much opposed to the Lancaster bar naming the d-ntrlct Judges, and the action of tho bar has given the "l. and O." club all the ammunition It desires, and the Walt Roberts suggestion that if Uayers.nanie the Judges It la Just a restonable for the "crooks to organise and name the iitrtff and the dead ones to in-et at the cemetery and nane tha car oner," has been a happy take off oa tha re form bunch. This campaign, and It Is tha first one for xnaay years, baa ne "Bud and Elmer etua,' which has done so much service for those apposed to the federal brigade. The club la bow knows as the "Bud. Elmer.

This Is liable to produce con gestion of the mucous membranes of the Internal organs, which Is the beginnlg of catarrh. Ka-tar-no Is a prompt and efficient re lief. It has been tried for many years In all phajtes of catarrh, and stands to day as one of the most famous of catarrh remedies. Ka-tar-no Is so positive and thorough In Its action that one bottle Is sufficient to convince any one of Ita merit. No one can afford to be without It during the trying and changeable season of July.

Opinion on Bncketahop Law. In an opinion handed down today the at torney general said regarding the anti bucket shop law: The keeping of any bucketshop. office store or oiner place ror pretended pur chases or sales, without Intention of re Celvlng and paying for the property or I of delivering It, Is the offense condemned j by statute. Whera a bucketshop, oflice. store or other place Is kept with the In tention stated. It Is a violation of the law. ' though the keeper may have the means i for the actual storage and delivery of the property, if the acts were performed with out Intention to deliver any property, the conduct would be no less lawless because the keeper had provided the means for storage and delivery. In my opinion, therefore. It would be a violation of the act quoted for "one having bona fide connections with the Chicago Board of Trade or a board of like organ isation and plan, to carry on vlthln this slate a brokerage commission business, take orders that are transmitted to the Board of Trade without the state, the mem bers of the Board of Trade havtng grain storage elevators and guarantee and Is at all times prepared to mako 4fctual deliv eries of the commodities contracted for," where such a business Involves pretended sales without any Intention of d"llvery. Otherwise, storage and delivery facilities could be more devices to evade the law.

This particular bird seems to have discovered that a worm partially cooked by the heat of the sidewalk was better eating than raw meat, and had ap parently nommunlcated his discovery ta his mates, with the 'result that all tho birds are now taking their worms rare, medium or well cooked, according to their Individual tastes.

However, Mr. Bates accepted the matter philosophically and found consolation 'in the fact that the services of the nurse and other at tendants necessary to give young John McKIm a proper start in life dfd not hold a life lease on his home and upon their departure his bed would be restored to him.

Only a few handfuls of type thrown together In orderly sequence recording the events of the day, often sensational, sometimes In accurate, not Infrequently controlled by mercenary motives. What does It amount to? Well, ask the financier who scans the market page for quotations beforo beginning the day's business or anxiously reads the crop reports from all parts of the globe. What does It amount to to him? Ask the politician who sees hts name flung abroad as the "friend of the people," or anathematized as the "tool of corporations." What does It amount to to him? Ask that man far from home who feverishly tears the wrapper of the little village paper and reads It through from the first word on the front page to the last word on the back, devouring the local news as a hungry man would bread. What does It mean to him? Ask that prisoner who reads "conviction" or "acquittal" In the glaring headlines of the morning edition. What does It amount to to him? Ask that wife who tremblingly glances down the list of casualties In a railway accident. What does It amount to to her?

Mc pherson has been a favorite candidate In South Omnha. General Manderson seems to have been the man on whom all Interests could agree. Shortly after the meeting was re st med at 2 p. m. the announoemtnt was made thnt he was elected. This consti tuted practically all of tho business of the session. The vacancy In the boa'' 1 of directors was left unfilled until the late autumn meeting, which Is the regular annual meeting of the board. The reason for the prompt election of the president ts that the legality of all proceedings, all drafts, checks and other Important docu ments required the signature of the pres ident. Officers of the Company. The officers of the company are: Gen eral Charles F. Manderson, president; Samuel McRoberts, vice president; Col onel J. C. Sharp, secretary and treasurer. The office of general manager will remain vacant until the time of the annual meet ing. In the meantime J. A. Pax ton, under the title of general superintendent, will have charge of the offices and duties cf the general manager. This vacancy was brought about by the resignation of W. J. C. Kenyon to hold a similar position In the Chicago Subway company. Immediately after the election J. Ogden Armour, Samuel McRoberts, B- C. Howe and J. A . Paxton held a conference as to the needs of the yards at present. Several needed Improvements have been authorised. It Is the stated policy of the yards company to Institute Improvements Just as fast as needed In all branches. No sweeping Innovations will be Intro duced, but steady development la ar ranged for. Aside from hts Interest In the Union Stock yards election, J. Ogden Armour's visit was In all respects similar to his regular periodical visits to the yards. Ha spent a large part of the day Inspecting the Improvements In the plant. He seemed much pleased with the new oleo depart ment, which has but recently come Into full commission. v SHIRTS OIVC SATISFACTION AND Lou a wis, ASK FOR CLUCTT HtTn AND LOOK row.
