Are aw Aaaareat
i Krom .1 Staff Correspondent.
LINCOLN. May J. -(Special. -The State
lar.l of Assessment will meet tomorrow
lo begin the aluation of railroad property
for taxation purposes. It Is likely it will
lie a week or two before the board gels
tijwn to reel work, as three of the mem
bers are new lo the business and It will
take some time for them to get onto the
ropes.
The new members sre Governor Shallen
berger. Land Commissioner Cowlea and
Auditor Barton. Mr. Ballon Is now In
Chicago looking after some Insurance com
panies and will not be here when the
hoard oiganices tomorrow.
The board will re-elect Chris gchavland
for Its secretary, and by virtue of hla po
sition the governor is cx-officlo chairman.
Considerable Interest attaches to this
particular board and Its final action, in
the matter of the assessment of railroad
properly. During the campaign the dem
ocratic state committee got out th usands
of circulars to ahow the farmers their
land was aasessed too high compared with
the assessment of railroad property, and
the promise was made to Increaae rail
road values and decrease land values. In
view of this promise on the part of the
democrats, State Treasurer Brian and 8ec
letary of State Junkln announced right
after election they would endorse any
raise Ihe governor saw fit to make to tha
valuation of railroad property and that
they Intended to permit him to go ahead
unhindered in an effort to keep Ids prom
lees.
These two officers know that If rail
road values are Increased very much
freight rates are liable to go up accord
Ingly, and if either the railroad or land
values are decreased then comes a de
ficiency In the state government's
finances, because the state cannot get
along with any less revenue as it is man
uaed at present.
Mates of Sapreme Coart Case.
Democrats who come to Lincoln do not
seem to be worried about ondldatea for
supreme Judge. They are of the opinion
that Tom Allen la strong enough to elim
inate all but three candidates, so If the
court holds the non-partisan Judiciary la
valid the democratic vote will not be
divided. Others who are looking on, how
ever, are of the opinion that Mr. Allen
will nol be able to handle' the situation.
JuJge Dean and Judge Oldham (by virtue
of Governor Shallenbergeri will both run,
and If the Shallcnbcrger Judges are knocked
out In the court then Judge' Sullivan may
be a candidate. That la tliee and there Is
a mighty bunch in the bushes which Mr.
Allen will have to lariat to keep out ot
the running.
Judge Francis O. Hamer of Kearney la
the latest to get In the game. The Judge
waa here last week and he has started out
his petitions, and he expects to secure his
5.000 signatures In a. little while. Judge
Hamer served two terms as district Judge
in the Buffslo county district.
Supreme court meets tomorrow, snd It is
probable before the adjournment for the
week the court will hand down Its decision
In the esse wherein Governor Shallenberg
er's Judges are trying to oust Governor
Sheldon's Judges. The case was argued
some weeks ago.
oLleeae Advocates Busy.
The no license advocates in Lincoln had
another big day today. Former Govertior
Hoch of Kansas spoke both In the after
noon and night at the Auditorium, In the
afternoon to men only, and on both occa
sions the house was full. He will also re
main and speak tomorrow night, which
will wind vp the campaign.
For several nights the no license advo
cates have been holding street meetings,
and last night a number of wagona were
out auiubly decorated with banners, each
holding a number of men and women sing
era and talkers.
The advocates of 6:80 closing have been
taking things very calmly and are making
no outward demonstration, but they ex
pect to win, while the no license people say
they are certain to win.
Mayor Brown returned yesterday from
Illinois, where he has been to attend the
funeral of a relative, and he has Jumped
Into the game for Bob Malone. the demo
cratic candidate for mayor. More Interest
attaches to the excise rules than to the
fight for city offices.

Burlington was In the city last week to
hold a consultation meeting with the

taken. Kearney county has refused to stand
Its share of the money expended on I He

the supreme court compelled It to do so.
Nevertheless, a steel cable 4.000 feet long
has been ordered for the purpose of form

will run diagonally out Into the river on
both sides. By attaching barbed wire to
this csble lt will gather refuse enough to

will create land, and by forcing the water

considered.
Only one enllslrrcnt was made at the
Omaha recruiting station during the month
of April, out of nearly seventy-five ipplica
tions. Tlial one was a re-enttetment. The
en'lsted nu n whose terms -ttU enlistment
have expired are going back Into their old
-rgan'ratlons very laigelv. This Is on
nt count of the iinteksed pay, better hous
ing, better cVitlilng. better food and bettor
treatrvjet. Mjny .' the, old men whose
teim of rn'iisli.ien' are about to expire
have reached the nor.-tomnilfsloncd grades
and are permitted to rc eiilst In the' same
tank they held.
Sergeant Kelhcardt of the Omaha recruit
ing station gives aa anothfr reason "The
men are being relieved from the arduous
fttlgue duties thrt have heretofore existed,
and about the only fatigue duty they have
to perform Is the ordinary garrison and
camp police duties. These have been prac
tically reduced to actual sanitation of the
garrkona and camps. The encouragement
of the practice of athletics snd the gurri
son equipment of gymnasiums, as well as
the schooling facilities now offered the
men of the regular army, make the life of
A soldier In the American army attractive.
Desertions are becoming less frequent and
the moral tone of the army Is also being
materially Increased by selection In enlist
ments and the positive assurance of promo
tion for merit." , ' "
Thirty recruits "were mllted for the
Ut.lted States navy at the Omaha recruiting
station for the month of April, 199. out of
over sixtv a mil teams. The recruits were
for all branches of the naval service. Only
the? fery best material was accepted. The
r.i.r'iinna were for various causes, but
chiefly for physical and moral defects.

BLIGHT OF DABLHANISM
(Continued from First Psge.)
Curm D. D., pastor of the Calvary Baptist
chiitch. In his Sunday evening sermon on
vOur City Klectlon."
"There should be no recognition of
clasfces. We are all rich or poor, white or
black, high or low members of the munici
pality,' and it should be our chief desire
to elrt to the office of mayor and other
positions men who will uphold and enforce
the law. Tnat is all we should seek for
and all we should ask for.
"For three years the good, respecting,
law abiding citizens have witnessed the
spectacle of our mayor and other city offi
cials administering that law of license to
those Interests which are law breaking and
criminal making. Every officer of the law
whd might have had It In hl3 heart to dis
charge his duly has been discouraged' in
so doing by the command and example of
those over hini. '
"The time has come for those citizens to
have the right respect for the law Incul
cated to express themselves at the ballot
box. Every man should recognize the
solemn responsibility entrusted to him on
next Tuesday, May 4." 1
Opposed to Moral Progress.
Rev. J. Narver Gortner, pastor of Mo
Cabe Methodist church, fortieth and far
nam streets, Sunday evening said in the
course of his sermon:
"Dahlmanlsm during the last three years
has been opposed to every species of moral
progress and Is worthy of being burled a
thousand fathoms deep beneath the ac
cumulated Indignation of an outraged and
Incensed populace. It has stood In the way
of moral progress In this proud city of the
west. Dahlmanlsm Is doomed to be re
membered In coming years as a blight with
which a city was once cursed, but from
which It waa ultimately delivered by the
awakening of a people no longer willing to
be governed by a confessed opponent of
the principles of moral progress and re
form." "The providence of the mlnlatry la lo
preach the observance of law and morals,"
said 'Rev. R. T. Rell at the Church of the
Covenant, Pratt and Twenty-seventh
streets, Sunday morning. The subject of
his address was "The Majesty of the Caw,"
and waa from the text, Psalms cxlx:97.
He said:
'The llth Psalm is the exaltation of all
law and wisdom. The laws of Ood are
paramount to all other laws snd are ap
plied to our moral, social and spiritual lives.
A. violation of a social law we call bad
form. We should treat our fellowmen with
equal justice regardless of color or race.
Political lawa are flamed to suit our
notions, yet after all, all laws come from
an eternal source."
On Personal Liberty.
On the subject of "Personal Liberty."
Rev. R. II. Houseman at Castellar Street
Presbyterian church last night said:
"The prostitution of a city's highest of
fices to private aggrandizement and per
sonal passions is enough to disturb the
conscience of a hardened sinner. Law Is
the great conservative power In society.
Its power, however, depends on Its enforce
ment. If not enforced, Instead of educating
upward, it educates downward. When can
didates announce beforehand what by Im
plication may be taken as a pledge that
they will be easy about enforcing laws
that by oath I hey pledge themselves lo
enforce, we have conditions which are a
tremendous, encouragement to lawlessness.
Such a condition la fraught with Infinite
peril to our city and its young manhood.
Vice grows bold and the already lawless
are defiant. It is hoped that with time
auch men will repent of such an unholy
travesty on manhood and nobly regard
their own better Instincts as well as the
betterment of society."
While he mentioned no names. Rev. I. O.
Bulid, pastor of Bt. Mary's Avenue Con
gregational church, told his hearers In a
"pulpit editorial" before the sermon that
they ought to have enough pride in tiieir
city to vote for men In whom they can
take pride, "for the political pride of a
city Is the social pride of Its peopl." Mr.
Balrd's subject was, "Obedience to Us the
Prke of Liberty."
"A Better Omaha" was the subject of the
sermon of Rev. K. P. Petersen, pastor of
the Norwegian and Danish Methodist
Episcopal church, and he told his people
that the beat way to get a better Omaha
is to place In positions of trust better men
whenever the opportunity presents.
Rev. George McDougall, pastor of the
Olivet Baptist church, presched on "Lsw

A Democrat Asralnst Dablman,
OMAHA, May 1. To the Editor of The
Bee: As a citizen of thla great and grow
ing city, where I have lived for Well on
to a quarter of a century and Intend to
spend the remainder of my days, and
where I am rearing a family, who In all
probability will spend the greater part of
their lives, I naturally take a very deep
and keen Interest in all that pertains to
the welfare of the city, both present and
future.
Three years ago a strsnger rajne among
us and offered himself as a candidate for
the high office of chief executive of our
city, Unfortunately his offer was accepted
and, owing to the circumstances that pre
vailed at that time, thla man, a atranger
whom we knew little or nothing about,
was chosen as our. leader. I believe that
I express the sentiment of a large major
ity of our citizens, and by that I mean
nol . only the voters, but all other citi
zens' who' have a right 'to choose the man
who is to be their leader, that the present
mayor has not by word or example shown
himself worthy of the confidence placed
In him.
I am not speaking wholly from hearsay
when I speak of our mayor, for I have
heard Jiini make statements that could
only be excused on the ground of ignorance
of his duty or an utter disregard of the
wishes of all who did not agree with him
In hla wild notions.
Our mayor stated that his private af
fairs Were matters of his own; that ha
did not have to account to the public for
his actions and that they were not con
cerned In matters of hla conduct.
I want to say In answer to thla bold
and unwarranted statement that the citi
zens of Omaha are concerned in his con
duct, whether he is in the great city of
New York to meet one of the leading
citizens of the world as the representa
tive of the leading city of the home state
of this man and there make a fool of
himself and become the laughing stock of
the country, or whether he Is in Sioux
City, again as representative of thla city,
and there heap disgrace upon us, and on
other occasions too numerous to mention
bring the blush of shame upon our city.
We, the citizens of Omaha, are interested
In his conduct, and very much interested.
This man's chief argument Is abuse of
those who would oppose his re-election,
accusing those of his own party as being
lugrales, disappointed officeseekers and
ether epithets of his own making.
Like many others of my fellow demo
crats, I feel that Mr. Dahlman does not
represent the democratic party and I do
not propose to take as a substitute for
democracy, Dahlmanlsm, Disgrace and Dis
ruption. J. X. MARTIN.

"When these democratic councilnuLnio
candidates say they are free from corpo
ration Influence they make me laugh, be
cause 1 have been associated with them
too long and have seen their works," said
Harry B. Zlmman at the taxpayers' meet
ing of the Twelfth ward at Twenty-fourth
and Ames avenue Saturday night. "They
say the lobbyists don't visit the council
chamber. They do, but they do not have
to, . as the democratic councllmen run to
the corporation managers. On several oc
casions I have called the president's atten
tion to ihe affection some of these lobby
ists were showing to the democratic coun
cllmen within the council chamber"
Mr. Zlmman then showed thst the demo
crats were making misstatements when
they said, they had reduced the taxes on
the properly owners of Omaha. He
showed that they had increased the taxes
tJOO.000 over what they were during the
first year of democratic rule.
Some man who said his name was Fulton
asked Mr. Zlmmsn why he bad. not shown
up this rottenness of the democratic city
council before and not wait until Just be-
fore an election.

Charles B. llanford at the Hojl,
Enacting three characters of divoi'Sc tnu
ture Saturday, Mr. Charh-a Hanford p:e
ernted some considerable evidence of vera
tlllty. Seen at the matinee h Shylock. h
put on a double bill In the evening, fir
playing a One-act drama called "The OU
Guard," and then appearing as IVlruc hit
In "The Taming of the Shrew." Although
the actor scored heavily in several scenes
in the Venetian comedy- snd gave a con
sistent and amusing representation of tho
Veronese woman-tamer, yet his portraal
of the Napoleonic veteran was the most
artistic offering of the day.
The playlet Itself Is open to Home ct'ila
clsm. It Is ov-?r-plotted and some of in
Hues ascribed to minor characters are Im
possibly stilled, but the part of Haversack,
corporal in the Grand Army. Is a gratefjl
one. At the conclusion the old man d d
dering on the grave's very brink is subJ.K-t
to one of those hallucinations of Ihe past
wherein by-gone scenes come before the
mind's eye with the reality, of the present.
For old Haversack Ihe army which fVir
ran Europe, even to. Moscow, is once m.ira
In existence snd lie himself again a m'-n-ber
of that organisation which died, but
not surrendered. It Is s cl.niax similar In
nature to the familiar ending of Beiu
Brummel.
There is one chsracteristlc of llanfonls
Petruchlo worthy of special note. Rigorous
as the man may be and severe as the treat
ment sweet Kste received, yet the hiishn-d
waa supposed to he a gentleman un.1e
neath all the surface harshness. Omitting
to show this was an error Into which even
so-- finished and thoughtful au actor hi
Charles Rlchman fell wh n he played l'e
tmchlo to Ada r.ehan's Katherin on het
las! year on the stage. The fault In quel
tlon Hanford escapes, although he Is l)oNl
eroua enough In all aurety at certain tlun s.
Miss Drofnah'a Kate was a rather niori
negative performance than her other char,
acterizations. Miss Gertrude Fowlf-r mad
an arch and coquettish Blanca and Mr.
Toombs, the most capable other memhei
of -ehe company, was genuinely funny iij
the low comedy role of Orumlo. servant t
Petruchlo.
Miss Drofnah read her lines in the n lul
scene of "The Merchant of Venice" will
considerable effect, and In "the quality ol
mercy" portion avoided mere elocution. Mr,
llanford waa at his best In the -scene wl
Tubal following the flight of his daughter,
Kemper, Hemphill & Buckingham.
