Sar-Bea oa the uoyai Enahlem. Farm scenes, typical of the west and especially Nebraska, will be the theme of one-half of tha big electrical parade nert fall when King Ak-8ar-Ben the Fourteenth comes to town to clslm his subjects. The title will be ths "Golden West." The other half of the parade will bo something comical, the subjects yet to be decided upon. The governors have practically decided they wish to have the souvenir buttons this year display an ear of corn, that they might In that way he!p the Corn show. Considerable difficulty Is met in getting an emblem on which they esn secure a good cut of one of Nebraska's famous ears of corn. Samson has a letter from Havana, asking the data on the association. For serenty flva years parades have been given In Havana, but with no organisation backing ths enterprise and having heard of Omaha's wonderful success they wsnt to imitate. Returns are coming In fast from the an nouncement made by Bamaon that all old memberswho pUd.tfieirJnltlatloa before May l would not have to bump the bumps or ride the :rn horse. The first two malls after ths notice was published In The Bee brought twenty-seven letter with that many checks In payment of membership dues. JUDGE BURNS THEyPRISONER Tells Hint Ho Has Most Profoaad Conteasat of Every Hoaest Foraoa. 'How can a depraved creature like you stand and look a man In the face? Are you thoroughly lost to all manly feeling? Any man who would do what you admit doing has the most profound contempt of every honest person. " This was part of a scathing arraignment which Police Judge Crawford made when R. Coleman was brought before him Thursday morning. Coleman had regis tered at a local hotel with a beautiful girl as man and wife. Wednesday the girl's mother and her brother called at the police station. They had come from Wisconsin In pursuit of the pair. Officers found them occupying the same room. Coleman waa arrested, but the mother, not wishing to drag her daughter's name Into the affair, refused to file a complaint and left with her daughter and son for their home. Under the circumstances no serious charge can be prosecuted against Coleman, Judge Crawford continued the case to Monday and Coleman, who Is without money, will have to soli his fashionable clothes In jail with the common vagrants. Coleman is a tall, slender man. His light greyish brown suit la of the latest cut and the buttons of the coat are set with Imi tation diamonds. The patent leather shoes, the shirt, the tie, the Derby hat, all are sartoiially faultless. Coleman told a reporter for The Bee that he was "In concert work." He admits oc cupytng tho same room With the girl, but declares It was with tha consent of the mother. "We have been traveling together," he said. "The girt and I cams to love each other and when her mother saw this she consented to let her occupy a room with me, while she, herself, occupied the room adjoining. Then her brother came and stirred up this trouble. I have A wife and child In Buffalo, N. T., but we have been separated. I mar ried her when I waa 20 and lived with her ten years.', I am 31 years old now." r- RALST0N IS JJEING LAID OUT Indaatrlal Towaslte at Seymour Park Is Started by Enxloeen and Sarrcyors.

ATTACK INHERITANCE TAX LAW Fall Amoa'.t of tS4,S3.40 Is raid, bat Withheld from Rosa Food PeadloST Deelalea of the Coaotr Attoraer. Eleven separate and distinct protests were filed with F. A. Fursy, city and county reasurer, by the executors of the John A. Creighton enttte In the paying over of the Inheritance tax to that official. The pro tests cite principally unconstitutionality of what they term th "so-called Inheritance ax" and conflicting state laws. John A. McShane, John D. Creighton and John A. Schenk, executors, signed tho protests. Th tax of 2164.5830. .including Interest, was paid, every cent being under protest. Six ressons were cited in each of the pro tests, a seventh being Included In the pro test on the payment of the Inheritance tax on the educational and charitable Institu tions In which the state law exempting educational and charitable Institutions from paying tax Is quoted. The first reason given in the protests Is that the "so-called Inheritance tax law" Is void under the constitution of the state of Nebraska, the second Is that It is void under the constitution of the Vnlted States nd that It Is conflict with the fourteenth amendment to the consltutlon providing that property cannot be taken away with out due process of law. The third reason says that the law "violate? the provisions of the constitution of the state of Ne braska which requires all taxes levied upon property to be equal In proportion to the value of the said property." The next 'pro vision says that the law undertakes to Impose taxes in a manner not equal to ail classes, 6 per cent being levied on Institu tions and 2 per cent on the tjelrs. The next is that tha law is "unreasonable, un just and denies the equal protection of the lew." The last reason Is that the Interest expected Is unlawful because It constitutes penalty for failure to pay the principal of the assessment before It is possible to determine the principal. In explanation of this last reason two state law are cited, one which provides ror six mom ps lime m wnicn 10 me com plaints after the filing of a will for pro bate, and tha other providing for the pay ment of Interest on inheritances If the tax Is not paid within six months from the date of the death of the man leaving the estate. The executors say these two laws conflict In that a complete statement of the unencumbered estate could not be filed until after the expiration of six months, and therefore If the law is valid Interest should not accrue until after the lapse of another six months. John A. Creighton died on February 7, 1907, and Interest? be gan to accrue on August 7, 1907. Pending a decision from th county at torney the county treasurer will not place the money in the regular road Improve, ment fund. Into which fund inheritance taxes are paid, but will hold It' In the protest fund. BRUNING MAY NOT REPORT Hesitates to Hare Ilia Finding Lost la Larger Investigations oa De tention Homo. County Commissioner Bruning, chairman of tho committee to Investigate the con struotlon of a Detention home, may not make his report to the board at Its Satur day meeting, if the board at that time is still -determined to mak Its trip to other cities - to Investigate' ' concrete; paving, Chairman Bruning doe not want to make his report and then have the-commlssloners forget it while looking Into the paving matter. His committee has several propo sitions under consideration, but It desires also before making a recommendation to the board to hear what the members of the visiting board have to say on the matter. Chairman Bruning is not unfavorably lm pressed with the Idea of erecting the De tention home on the poor farm grounds, but he believes the children who are kept at the home will be able to do mighty little farming ao a large tract of land. In his opinion, is not necessary. A Total Eel I pan of the functions of stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels Is quickly, disposed of with Eleotric Bitters. 60c. For sale by Beaton Drug Co.

The suggestion of Secretary Bennett of the State Board of Assessment that TV. Q. I're. county commissioner, assist th board In Interpreting the terminal tax law and act in an advisory capacity to the secre tary, who is In dally receipt of letters of inquiry from the various county assessors, until the board meets, doe not scar Urs, though he has no intention of volunteering his service. "I notic that a good many of the county assessors ssy they are up In th air on tha law," said Mr. Ure, "but I see no reason why they should be. There should be no trouble If they will Just follow th law and do what Its provisions prescribe. Of course, many of the assessors are new to the work of assessing, having been newly elected last fail, but a great majority, I should think, have served as deputies for four years and the regular assessment work will not b difficult for them. There Is considerable detail work provided under the terminal tax law, but It seems plain 1 to me that the work is mapped out for the assessing officers." Recently Secretary Bennett called a meeting of all the county assessors at Lin coln to discuss th law, and Mr. Bennett explained It In detail, urging the assessors to carry out the provisions Just as they appeared In the law. Since then many of th officials appear to have overlooked a number of questions they wanted to ask him and Bennett's mall hss been heavy every day. The state board meets the first Monday In May to begin the assessment of railroad property. HACKLEY WANTS MORE TIME Brighton Sheriff Insist on Having Preston Held, hat Chief Say . Not Long.

Preston, the man who has been at St. Joseph's hospital for a month under guard recovering from three bullet wounds which the Brighton sleuths believe he got In an encounter following an attempt to rob the Brighton postoffice the night of March 7. This is the telegram: Vu Preston for as long term as possible. We will nay expenses If required. Difficult to get requisition papers at present. Am working hard on case and expect further developments soon. Chief Donahue replied that Prestoh could not be held for vagrancy and that unless the Colorado authorities take him soon the guard will be removed and Preston allowed to go. A man has been kept at the door of Pres, ton's room day and night for nearly a month now, and the Brighton authorities have not produced one particle of proof that he is the man they are looking for. The local authorities are about tired of the dilatory precedure. SMITH MAY ASK MORE HELP Clerk of District Coart Is Ordered to Bring Vp to Date AH Trial Records.
