RAILROAD VALUES BOOSTED
Northwestern Makei IU Return to the
State Board of Assessment.
THREE TIMES THAT OF LAST TEAR
State Board Refuses Reqaeat of the
Barllagtoa Road to Raise the
Minimum Carload Weight
on Grain Prodncts.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April 14. (Special ) It Is very
evident the Northwestern prefers to pay
higher taxea than to have freight rates
reduced so that only a limited Interest is
made on the money invested. This la
shown by Ha returns to the State Board
of Assessment, showing the value of Its
property for assessment purposes. The In
crease In the value this year over the re
turns of last year Is little short of
marvelous.
The value of Ita bridges In Nebraska
Jumped from t89.426 In 1907 to $2,479,300 this
year. The value of Ita depots, warehouses,
ahopa and other property of a like char
acter jumped from 0S7,B21 In 1907 to $2,6,
72 this year. The mileage of the road la
just the aame, 1,065.3 miles, consequently
thia phenomenal Increase In these two items
Is explained only by Improvements In the
way of new bridges and new depots and
warehouses,' though especial attention Is
not called to this In the report, out of all
proportion to the improvementa on other
roada In Dodge county this road returned
Ita bridges at a valuation of $186,796, against
a valuation Iaat year of $48,443, which In
dicates this year this road owna no Joint
Interest In any bridge In that county, but
owna all It uses. Knox county shows an
Increase from $43,215 to $190,621. Douglas
county gets a boost on valuation of North
western bridges from $135,842 to $324,725.
Dawes county gets a boost from $37,225 to
$238,406 because the Northwestern has seen
fit to return Us bridges at an increased
valuation.
Practically all of the counties get a ma
terial boost by reason of the Increased re
turns made on depots, warehouses, sta
tion houses, water tanks and other prop
erty of this nature.

Not Dead Yet.
G. F. Godown, secretary of the Beaver
Valley Grain company, has written the
attorney general that the "grain trust" la
very much alive and la getting active In his
part of the atate.
Mr. Godown aald In hia letter that he waa
trying to run an Independent elevator at
Danbury, but waa having poor aucceaa be
cause the Central Gianerles company of
Lincoln and the Duff Grain company were
overbidding him for grain. These two
companies, he aald, were paying 9 centa a
bushel more for grain at Danbury than at
McCook, where there Is no Independent
elevator. Mr. Godown asked the attorney
general If there was some law under which
this practice could be stopped. Mr. Thomp
son will look lnt othe matter at once.
Express Companies Doing; Something.
Attorneys for the express companies tel
ephoned the clerk of the supreme court
today and Inquired If the court had made
any arrangements to receive motions pre
vious to ita seaslon next Tuesday. Upon
being Informed that nothing had been done
In this mater, Mr. Greene Intimated that
some kind of motion would be filed Tues
day. Just what the nature of this motion
Is no one around the legal department of
stats would aay. The Injunction forbidding
the express companies from violating the
Sibley law goes Into effect tomorrow and
It might be possible It was suggested some
kind of appeal would be taken by the ex
press companies using as an excuse to get
Into the federal court the fact that the
atate court will not be in a position to en
tertain any kind of a motion before the In
junction becomes effective.
Barllngrton Gets Lemon.
The request of the Burlington railroad to
Increase the minimum weight of a ear load
of grain producta from 24,000 to 80,000
pounds has been denied by the Stale Rail
way commission. The request Included all
grain products except cooked and partially
cooked products. The Increase In the r..in
Imura weight of a car would have Increased
the freight rate.
Bids for State Bnlldlngs.
Bids were received up until noon today
for the erection of the building at Grand
Island, Milford ant Norfolk, hut they will
not be opened until Thursday. Secretary
o fState Junkln waa out qt the city, having
gone to Bmlthfleld Qjf business, so the
board concluded to wait until Thursday,
though a half doaea or more bidders and
contractors were on hand expecting the
bids to be opened.
Good Move tr VniTerelty.
In the following letter to Chancellor An
drews, Superintendent MrBrlen commends
the school for rural teachers at the state
farm. Inspector A. A. Reed has just called
my attention to the work offered teachers
of rural srhnls at the teachers' session of
the University of Nebraska for the sum
mer of 1908, beginning June 8, and contin
uing eight weeks. I was delighted when
you established the teachers' college at the
university, knowing full well the impera
tive need for It and the great service It
will render the state; but 1 know and am
persuaded that the work lor teachers of
rural schools to be given at the university
farm will do our country schools more
good than any step yet taken In our pub
lic school system. In all the agitation for
educational progress during the past twenty-five
years the rural schools have been
sadly neglected. The graduates from the
advanced coureses or state, private and
denominational schools will be needed for
high school Instructors under the high
qualifications required by the new certifi
cation law. The graduates from the ele
mentary courses In state, private and de
nomlnantlonal schools, and from our nor
mal training high schools, will be needed
for grade teachers in cities, towns snd
villages. It is a rare case indeed when
they remain In the country schools, and
rarer still is the case when they remain
In the countr yschool more than one short
term. During the past eight years, in the
face of these codltions, my heart has gone
out for the long neglected rural schools.
Therefore, I wish to give my most hearty
commendation to your action In establish
ing this department for teachers of rural
schools at the coming session of the Uni
versity of Nebraska summer school.
No school In tho state can qual your
school of agriculture in Its equipment for
training teachers for the rural schools,
and especially will your summer session
offer matehlecs opportunities for such
teachers, for at that time the university
farm will be running at full blast.
SALOOXS ALL CLOSE AT HASTINGS
Defeat in License Petitions Render Jt
Necessnry.
HASTINGS. Neb., April 14. (Special Tele
gram.') All the saloons In Hastings failed
to open this morning and there Is no pros
pect of their reopening1 for a number of
weeks. Applications for licenses and drug
store permits were all withdrawn Saturday
and no new -ones have been presented.
New applications probably will be filed
within the next few days.
The petitions were withdrawn for the
reason that one of the signers was a coun
cilman. Objections were raised to his voting
on petitions that he had signed. As hia
vote waa needed the petitions were with
drawn preparatory to the circulation of
new ones. New petitions cannot be acted
on by the council until after they have
been advertised two weeks.
A meeting will be held tomorrow to con
sider a proposition for the "secession of
the First ward," which Is heavily in the
majority for high liconse. A number of
residents of the ward are advocating with
drawing from the town. The proposition
of course Is not entertained seriously.

FIVE BROTHERS
All Thought They Knew Good Coffee.
An amusing story comes from a veteran
In Iowa. It shows how possible It Is for
not only one man to be mistaken about a
matter, but four make the sami blunder at
once.
"Thirteen years ago," writes a Colonel
of the late war, "I was a confirmed In
valid, unable to attend to business. I
had heart trouble and had It bad.
"Deciding to consult a specialist I told
my wife I was going to Chicago for a few
days on busings, not saying what the
main business f i.
"On arriving In the city I went to see
a man on a small matter and had to climb
two flights of stairs. I thought I would
never get to the top. I could only go up
two or three steps at a time and this by
hanging onto the railing. When I got
to the man's office. I was so exhausted I
had to rest before I could state my errand.
"Next morning I sought out my specialist.
He looked me over, asked me If I used
tobacco or Intoxicating liquors. I said no.
Ever drink coffee? Yes, always have. In
fact It la all that I live on these days.
"Well you must stop It entirely, said the
doctor. Why mar I gasped, what shall I
live on? Did you ever drink Postum, ho
asked. I said no. Then he asked me where I
wos stopping and sent me to a restaurant
with Instructions to have them make me
Postum.
"So I took my meals there and really lik
ed Postum from the start, I stayed more
than ten days and went home feeling much
better. I could sleep and the 'gone' feel
ing had gone, sure enough. When I arrived
at home I Just picked up my suit case
and walked home from the depot aa spry
as a kitten and I'll not soon forget ths
happy surprised look on my wife's face.
"When she opened the ault case, she
found two packages of Postum. She
laughed at me and said that we could get
plenty at the store. I had always been
finicky about my coffee and my four broth
ers were all acquainted with the fine Java
my wife used to make.
" We were all bankers and got together
sometimes for a visit. About this time
they all happened ft be at our house and
remarked that they expected some of
Nettle's fine coffee. Bhe called me out
and said we must have some coffee.
"Make Postum Just as you have been
doing, I said. The boys were all about
as I had been from drinking coffee. They
complimented my wife on her "Java" and
drank two cups apiece.
"After dinner she told them It was not
Java. Whatl No, It was Postum. Tnen
she told them of my complete recovery
since quitting coffee and using Postum.
They all went away determined to quit
coffee, and we are all today enjoying the
pink of good health, and we attribute It
largely to the use of Postum."
