(From a Staff Correspondent.) i
LINCOLN, July 31. (Speclal.)-The 8tate i
Board of Equalisation completed Its work J
thin afternoon by making a levy of 6 mill (
for the general fund, 1 mill for the untvera-
Ity and 1 mill for the redemption
fund. The total amount of the
grand assessment roll cannot be given j
at thla time because a number of the coun- I
' tlea were Increased on certain Itema and !
this Increase has nrtt yet been figured out. I
Douglas county merchandise! was Increased j
' IS ner rent and Ivmcaater merchandise I
- l i V . m, Uw rt I
was ivuincu u Lf i win. x .j.a. . j ' .
, 7 mills Is the tame as laat year, but In
stead of the H mill for the public schoo's.
I the general fund levy gets that. Increasing
this fund from to 6 mills" The final or
der has not yet been algned, but It Is to be
tomorrow morning. , The board promised
to peas on the bill of exceptions of the
Vnlon Pacific tomorrow. What effect Us
action this afternoon will have on that Is
not known, at least except to the board j
members.
Donsclne Merchandise Raleed.
County Assessor Reed of Douglas county
appeared before the board this morning,
after which the board Increased the assess
ment of merchandise In that county 15 per
cent. County Assessor Miller of Lancaster
county. In several appearances before tho
board, complained of the low assessment
of Douglns county merchandise and gavo .
thirt as an excuse for the 20 per cent cut
In the Lancaster assessment, which was
recently made by the county board. Mr
Reed was sent for to give Information re
garding the Douglas assessment, and he
frankly told the board the big merchants
of Omaha had refused to show their In
voices or exhibit their Insurance policies
or furnish any Information regarding their
sales. The big merchants In most Instances,
he said, had not been assessed as high In
proportion as the small merchants. His
deputies, he said, had placed a value on
the stocks In accordance with tho views
of the owners, and then In most Instances
the larger merchants had been Increased In
Ms office. The County Board of Equallza-
tlon had cut down some of these assess
ments. He had done the best he could, he
said, but he could not B't satisfactory re
sults from the big merchants.
The board considered the mntter prac
tically all afternoon before taking any ac
tion. Borne members of the board are now
beginning to believe a better system might
be worked out for equalising the value of
live stock. It has been suggested to the
board that where live stock Is reported at
a high average value It Is possible the
assessor may have failed to return the
full number, thus keeping up his average.
To raise other counties to come up to the
high one In such a case the board members
realise Is not fair. Assessor Teegarden
of Cass county sajd the value of mules In
that county averaged 26, until he reached
Ilattsmouth, and mules In that town cut
, down his average. If some other assessor
Heft out a large number of the poor mulos,
71 as may have been done, he believes Cass
county does not deserve any Increase In
the value of Its live stock.

astrous fire In which one of Its principal
business houses, that; of O. E. Champe,
with all Ms content went up In smoke.
Mr. Champe's stock was valued at 30,000
i and the building at 8.000. But little can
j be gathered at thla time as to the Insur-
ance. Champe is supposed to have been
Insured for about one-half of the value of
