XJNCDLN. Mar 11. (Special.) At the
first hearing- held by tha State Board of
l!Aasesament for railroad tax cmmlsstoners,
IB. D. Pollard of tha Burllnrton appeared
"hnd asked the board not to value the lines
f Ma company In Nebrsska at mora than
fcs,nrw They were valued last year at
BHB.OOO. Tax Commissioner Scrlbner of the
?nlon Pacific also spoka. but he said It
was ueless to repeat his argument of last
.year, when the board valued the lines of
.'til company at 7B,nn0 a mile. He said
ha was disappointed last year and hopd
for some concessions this -year. Mr.
ijpollard briefly attacked the essesment of
real estate, live stjcfc and money In Ne
braska and rave figures to show that each
fclaas of property was assessed far below
Its true value. He said his company
'earned I per cent on a valuation of $46,000
a mile In Nebraska for the six months
'andlng March II. He said It earned $2,701
tnii. nr1v 1300 less a mile than the
vear before. Mr. Scrlbner said his com
peny earned nearly $X a mile less. Ha ad
mitted that his company had ceased ap
portioning Its earnings between states be
cause at beet s-irh calculations are mere
Hmates ard often unfair and would af
ford little light for the board. Mr. Pollard
told the board his company arbllrsrlly ap-
nartloned the earnings btween states and
save to Nebraska Ili.es a constructive
mileage of l.L This he, said credited to
Nebraska about per cent thst the lines
had not In fact earned and he believed
that amount should r deducted. The
board will hear Mr. Pulley of the Omaha
road tomorrow morning. He usually gives
the board some Interesting Infrmatlon.

.CRETE, Neb.. May a. 8peclal.) At a
meeting of the city Toung Men's Christian
association directors and most of the busi
ness men of Crete last night definite plans
were discussed for the building of a new
$20, (XV) Toung Men's Christian association
home. The plans were presented by Gen
eral Secretary Luke and O. L. Melssner,
president of the association. State Becrevl
tary Bailey and Mr. Meade of Tork, repre
senting the state executive committee, were
both present and helped to explain the sit
us lion.
The present plan calls for a building
44x11. Including a thirteen-foot basement
and two full stories above. The building Is
to contain all modern arrangements for
amusement and association work.
Aa Crete Is only a little city of 1.0OO, the
new building Is a large undertaking, but
the business men are realising that In order
to keep abreast with other cities, they must
furnish a place for their young men and
boys and for the surrounding commercial
territory. That they are In earnest to ac
complish something Is proved by the fact
that over $9,000 has already been subscribed
In bona fide pledges, besides a liberal sum
that Is conditionally pledged.

participated In the assault upon Evange

At the time It was said prosecution would
be Instituted, but no one made formal com
plaint and the county attorney took no ac
tion on his own account. When the case
was presented to the grand Jury the Indict
ments were not slow In Issuing. Those in
dicted are Messrs. Dayton. Ragan and
Ernest Hurlburt. Mr. Miller was assaulted
for remarks made about Utlca women at
Kensington.

The Oeferfe fund FrJfct presented to
the hours cf delegates by a committee on
Wednettiay was fornislly adopted, but an
amendment ami a resolution put through
later will modify the plan so as to make It
optional rather t'.-.an obligatory with mem
bers of the assoclstlon whether or not
they stall participate In this feature. The
rule requiring the payment of $1 toward the
defense fund will not bo enforced where a
physician Is not desirous' of securing Us
beneflif. As the articles stand, the dollar
may be collected, but will go Into the gen
eral fund of the association when a mem
ber dots not wish to avail himself of the
protective advantages. The annual dues
have been U In the past, and with this
new revision they will be raised to JS.
However, If some members should refuse
to pay fie extra dollar they will probably
be excused from doing so. It Is expeeted
that three-fourtha of the wo pnysicians dc
longlng will contribute voluntarily to the
fund. There Is $217 already on hand from
$1 payments.

No End to a Good Thing One thing
leads to another. When you paper the
dining room the living room begins to look
shabby and you decide to keep up the good
work. It Is the same In neighborhoods.
When one man puts on a front porch and
paints the fence, his neighbors begin to
feel uncomfortable by contrast and they
make Improvements. It Is true with the
city. When a publlo Improvement Is madu
and we note the satisfactory results, there
Is a dlspolstlon to carry the good work on
and make, other Improvements. Beatrice

Beared to Death Tne following story Is
told of one of our bashful young men,
who called on a young lady recently to
spend the evening and when he got ready
to leave he reallied that a heavy rain
was falling. He had no umbrella or rubber
coat and when the girl's father asked him
to remain he gladly consented. The next
morning when he was Invited to a seat
at the table he very reluctantly accepted.
He was very nervous and agitated. He sat
opposite a mirror and discovered that he
had forgotten to comb his hair. Then he
dropped his fork on the floor and as he
stooped to pick it up he upset his coffee.
Matters went from bad to worse until
finally he quit eating and put his hands
under the table. The loose end of the
table cloth was lying lu his lap and when
he touched It he turned pale. He thought
It was his shirt and that In his excitement
when dressing he had forgotten to put It
Inside his trousers. This accounted for the
smiles and embarrassment. There was no
time to lose. He hurriedly stuffed the
supposed shirt Into his trousers. Ten min
utes later when the family arose from tho
table there was a crash. The dishes lay
tn a broken heap on the floor. The young
man pulled three feet of table cloth out-t I serted him. They have three living child
his pants and fled through the back door
It Is ssid the young man ran wild In the
woods south of town for three days, but
was finally lassoed and placed in captivity.
Who was It? Couldn't guess In a doxen
