LINCOLN, Neb., May 8.-(Speclal Tele tram. )-The State Board of Assessment as sessed, the railroad property of the stats "day without a speech having- been made by any railroad tax agent. The Increiiiie over tlx valuation lata year Is 1.11. The Increase Ik confined to the Chicago, St. Taul, Minneapolis & Omaha and the ,,Kearney, Central City and North Platte noranchet of the Union Pacific. This make the total full value of all railroad property In the. state I2TS.S93.217. The board met yesterday, but did noth ing, as Governor Shallenberger had to go to Emerson to deliver a political speech. This morning the board waited an hour on the governor, and he failed to show up. Those present were Brian. Cowles. Junktn and Barton. After an Informal discussion the hoard concluded to make the assess ment at once, and this was done. Th? vote, was . unanimous. No other railroad valuation m the state was changed. A. W. Srrlbner of the t'nlon Pacific reached the state house Just a moment after the work had been concluded, so did not get to deliver his speech. The following table shows the changes: Vloe Per Mile.

So tar as the present board Is concerned It arrived ai the conclusion that it could fix the valuation of the property Just as well on the leports made as It could by listen ing to the tax agents recite their picas for a t-fduetlon. The buard met yesterday and would have done the wot k at that time had Governor Shallenberger been present, but In hla ab sence the board postponed actio,, for one rinj. It was expected that i"!j rnief execu li me, would be on hand this morning, but after Wkllng until the trains from the northeast had arrived, the board went ahead and did the business. Inasmuch as the governor went to Kmerson to deliver a political speech, thus neglecting the Im portant work of the board, the members concluded to waste no more time on him, but go ahead and do the work. This afternoon the board met again and added to the Burlington the 9.8 miles of new load from Lincoln to Denton. This was valued at S25.O00 a m:le, which In creases the total valuation that much. Metcnire Jumps in ngni. Rlchard L. Metcalfe has come to the aid of Mr. Bryan In trying to line up the legislators In favor of an extra session for the submission of the initiative' and m, referendum, r. WM'MftcairrTakes "e exception to the edi torial In the World-Herald In opposition to the extra session, or rather Its Intimated opositlon, and in a letter to the editor I of that paper he gives htm reasons for wanting the extra session. There are many here who believe that Mr. Hitchcock will finally be forced to take sides In opposition to Mr. Bryan and make the fight against his extra session program. Should this be brought about. these samo people then think Mr. Bryan wl! be forced to run ror the senate in opposition to the ditor of the World- neiaiu. Opposition on tho part of the Omah paper to the extra session and Mr. Brayn's plans, it Is believed here by democrats, would give Mr. Bryan ample reasons for . making the race for senate. j Vol n Rlk Town Either.

Later the accountant showed the receipis signed by the young women, the amounts being admittedly In Poell's handwriting.
