THREE GOOD OFFICES.
Many Candidates for Appointments on
the Assessment Board.

Many Candidates for Appointments on
the Assessment Board.
Considerable pressure Is being brought
upon the Commissioners in the interest of
various candidates for the three appoint
ments on the board Of assessors provided
for in the bill which recently passed Con-
gross and is awaiting the Presidents ap-
prevail. 1t is believed the appointments
will be made very soon after the Commits
sioners receive notice Of the approval of
the bill. The appointments are for four
years each, and the salary provided for
each assistant assessor is 5000. So the
offices are attractive. Several citizens have
already applied, and it is known that there
are many others willing to have the offices
seek them. The Commissioners have been
interviewed in behalf of the appointment
to the new board of the three members of
the late board of revision, Messrs. S. T. G.
Morsell, VIM. B. Gurley and E. W. Griffin.
Mr. Griffin is at present assistant to the
assessor of the District.
Then the claims of Mr.. Roger Villa ms,
clerk of the excise board, who for some
months flied the office of assessor of the
District, are being urged. Citizens of the
northeast section are advancing the claims
of Messrs. w. j. Frizzell and Evan Tucker
Mr.. AL T. Hensey has a formidable list of
hackers for the place including many
members of Cor gross and prominent BUSH
ness men of Washington. Then Mr.. Thomas
Dowling's appointment has been urged, and
the Commissioners have also discovered that
there are many people who would like to
have Messrs. Galen E. Green and VIM
Dickerson as assessors. There has been
some talk that one of the three men ap-
pointed will be a colored man, and the two
colored men regarded as candidates are Mr.
John F. Cook, who has already served as
a. sistant assessor, and Mr.. Daniel r. Muir
ray. an assistant to the librarian Of Con-
gress.

NEBRASKA'S SHORT LINE.
Denver's Proposed Railway COnnec-
ton With the Lakes.

DENVER, Col, August I.-Ex-Gov.
Evans has returned from a trip to Sioux
city, Iowa, the eastern terminal Of the
proposed Nebraska shcrt line, more than
ever satisfied of the feasibility of his scheme
for giving Denver direct railway connec-
ton with the great lakes.
Mr.. Evans plans originally We're to run
his line from Julesburg to Oneill, Neb. He
finds he can shorten the road almost a
fourth by running it from North Platte on
the Union Pacific to some point east Of
Oneill. The Gulf road, with which Mr.
Evans expects to crerate the short line
has the right to trackag e arrangements on
the Union Pacific as far east as North
Platte, and to run from North Platte the
short line would cross seven roads and
branches at right angles, all running in a
southerly direction to Omaha and Kansas
City and penetrate eight counties and coun-
ty seats. r

too large for him and are fastened with
