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.

I Reed of Douglas county to be on hand

regarding Douglas county assessment.

at this time there Is a house to house

Net only a good many town people, but

to the Lancaster bar naming the d-ntrlct

that if Uayers.nanie the Judges It la Just
a restonable for the "crooks to organise

Nearly every one supposes that catarrh
Is not acquired during the hot month.
Puch Is not the rase. Many rases of

of the night often falls ao much below
the temper.iture of mld-dny that the
body Is sulijected to frequent and sudden
cooling. This Is liable to produce con

In all phajtes of catarrh, and stands to

In Its action that one bottle Is sufficient

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.
The prohibitionists will name a state
ticket here tomorrow to be voted for at

Nature Fake Sheriff Holllster claims to
have discovered almost human Intelli
gence existing among the birds In the
court house yard. On a hot day during
the last week he noticed a rohln pulling
a worm from the ground which It dropped
on the side wn Ik west of the Jail. Tim
pavement was blistering hot, and hero
Is where John says the sagacity of the
bird comes In. 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. Central City Re

Luke's Successor Arrives Luke M.
Bates waa not In the least surprised et
the report going out that he was to be
succeeded In the land office by his son,
John McKIm Bates, but his face took on
an oppression of bewilderment last week
when he was ejected from his home on
account of this new member of the fam
ily, which was rather a rash act from st
lad of his tender ago. 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. The hotel looked mighty good to

Reverie of an Editor What does a
newspaper amount to, anyway? 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? Ask that young mother who
tenderly lays away a little slx-llne obit
uary notice, blurring the Ink with her
tears. What does It amount to to her?
What does a newspaper amount to, any
way? A good deal, sometimes. It seems.

RIVALRY FOR FLACE IS LIVELY
T. R. Mel'herson and Kasnael Me,
lloherts Are Candidates for the
1'naltlnn and F.leetlon R.
Si a I res Several Honrs.
Chsrles f. Mandersnn of I imnlit, R'n
eral solicitor of the Burlington, mas
elected president ,,f the I'nlon Sto,-'
Yards company of South Omaha. The.
meeting waa held Tucsdny snd wss at.
tended by J. ogden Armour, head of ilio
J Armour Interests, and P. A. Valentine,
treasurer of most or the Armour enter
prises. The election of General Manderson will
be found uniformly satisfactory In South
Omaha. Mr. Manderson Is a man of v.i
rled abilities, having been a soldier anil
lender In western affairs and he Is now
an able lawyer and financier, well uhi-t
to conduct the affulrs of the office.
The sessions of the board of directors
began In the morning snd It was evident
that there was considerable rivalry for
the place. Knmuct Mcltoberts, General
Manderon and T. B Mel'herson merr.
among those contesting for the place. It
had been thought thst McRoberts was the
favorite of the Chicago Interests repre
sented by J. Ogden Armour. T. It. 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
