Tho executive council has completed the
detail work Of the railroad assessment, but
the figures have not beeh made UP for an
nouncement The total valuation Of railroad
properties OF the state will show slight in-
crease. The sessions Of the executive council
have been highly animated. The Chicago &
Northwestern system was raised $3.50 per mile
on it's main line and now ranks alongside
the Burlington & Quincy with the highest
valuation fixed by the council. The Burling-
ton was reduced $3.50 per mile and the North
western raised by the same amount.
Treasurer Herrlot stood for still higher
assessment of the Northwestern. He wanted
1t fixed at $11,5O0, which would have been
$3.50 higher than the Burlington. Governor
Shaw stood with him for long time for this
increase, but finally the matter was compro-
missed on the basis indicated. The net income
OF the Chicago & Northwestern properties In
the state is about $3.50 II Mr.. Herriott
! and the governor had had their way, the in
crease would have been nearer to 5000, 900.
The branch lines OF the great systems were
generally allowed some slight reduction.

this resolution was laid on the table,
The house refused by vote Of so to to
cut the Transmississjppi Exposition appro-
priation from $4,000 to $4,000, as provided

Receiver Sues Stockholders.

Receiver Ira Hendricks of the Griswold
duties connected with the closing up Of the
banks affairs. or putting it in a condition to
continue business has found it necessary to
bring large number Of suits. Among them
are several suits to enforce payment Of the
customary assessments OF stockholders. In q
majority Of the cases the stockholders have
willingly paid their assessments. Among the
stockholders who refused to comply is Will
Ham M. Nichols, private banker of Atlantic.
Nicho!s was the owner Of ten shares in the
Griswold bank and for several years was one
CT its directors. His wife was also the owner
Of ten shares Of the bank stock. About six
months before the failure Of the bank Nichols
assigned his stock to his wife, thereby ceasing
to be one OF the directors. When the stock
holdens were assessed. suit was brought
against Mrs. Nichols for the assessment Oh
the original ten edares, and against both hus-
band and wife to recover on both sets OF
shares. These suits were brought in the fed
eral court here, and last week a judgment
amount OF the assessment. In defense she
has set up the claim OF insolvency. Before
adiournihg court for the preseut recess Judge
Woolson issued an order appointing District
Court Reporter Burlington special commis'
sioner to take evidence and Mrs. Nichols was
ordered to appear here for examination The
order was put into immediate effect, and Mrs.
Nichols was on the stand all yesterday after
noon answering some pretty sharp questions
about the financial transactions Of herself and
her husband. Judge Woolson will be here
on Tuesday to reccovene court, and the suit
against heC husband will be tried.
