WEALTH OF NEBRASKA
List OF Valuations for Assessment De.
cided by state Board.

~
Secretary George ID. Bennett Of the
state board OF assessment has com-
pleted the work Of certifying the new
railroad valuations to the various
counties for assessment purposes. Tho
grand total assessed valuation OF all
railroad property In the state has been
altered slightly since the boari first
agreed upon IL. The total Is now 49,
Os2, $50. rs. Last year II was SAT OF. 353.
In the year 1902 II was S26, 6ss.s12 A
comparison of the present assessed
valuation with that Of 1902 is made for
the reason that the valuation BY coun-
ties for 1903 will not be complied In
the auditors ONCE until Just prior to
the publication of the auditors bien-
NAL report. The valuation for 1902 and
1903 we're practically the same, so u
comparison of the present valuation
with that Of 1902 gives a fnir idea of
the increase in each county. The
mileage has changed very lit;le In this
past two years. Boyd county had no
road in 1902 but since that time the
Northwestern road hos built q line
through the county.
Lancaster county heads the list IN
mileage and consequently In assessed
valuation. The roads In Lancaster
county are valued for assessment pur-
poses. or one-hfth the actual value. at
81. o31, 1896. 80. As the values are on a
mileage basis, the county that mas the
most miles OF road Is likely to receive
the most taxes. Occasionally the lines
are branches and Of less vulue than a
less number Of miles Of main line In
other counties.

The press of the state is filled
with long articles on the question
Of capital location but from our
point Of view the most of the
stuff is so nearly devoid of argu-
ment that the causual reader
fails to see the significance of
the articles. Whether Pierre
is the center of the state or
Mitchell the center of population
are not the most important ques-
tons. Neither is the fact that
Pierre is now the seat of state
government a matter that should
have any great weight with the
voter. The situation should be
stripped of all confusing issues
and considered purely as a mat
ter of public policy. If the cap
ital was not already located at
Pierre, how many voters would
now vote it there? Not one in
ten. Mitchell may not be the
best place in the state, but as
between the two, Mitchell would
get a practically unanimous vote.
The promises and prospects of
fourteen years ago have failed
to materialize and instead of
being the gateway to the Black
Hills, Pierre stands isolated and
inaccessible. A section of coun-
try about so miles square finds
Pierre accessible. The long
stretch Of road from Wolsey to
Pierre is a useless distance for
all the rest of the state. 1t
doesen't divide distances with
any other locality. 1t dosen't
bring us in touch or contact with
any other section of the state.
The famous motto of Senator
Hanna, "stand pat has been
distorted into a Pierre watch
word. Its significance is to let
we'll enough alone. The connec-
ton between the motto and the
facts can not be discerned. The
promises and prospects of a road
from Pierre to the Black Hills
was a delusion. The location of
capital at Pierre was a mistake.
The people of the state have a
chance to rectify that mistake
and it looks nightly as though
they were going to do it.-Bristol
Tribune.

One of the smooth features
about the campaign of the
Pierre boomers is the fact that
visitors to that city who 60 to
sec the advantages offered by
that city for the capital of q
great agricultural state, are com
PEELED to approach the city in the
hours Of the night, and leave it
also il the night time, thus MAX
Ing it impossible for these visi-
tors to see the superb agricul-
tural possibilities by which
Pierre is surrounded. The ride
from Woolsey to Pierre, the only
route by which the town can be
reached by rail, if taken by any
observing thoughtful man dur
ing the daylight should be q
sulicient argument to convince
him that the placing Of the state
capital st Pierre was q bad mis-
take that should be rectifed this
tall. The difference between
the two contestants on this line
- made equally evident in
another way. At Mitchell may

tural products from all along the

Sanford Dodge COMING

All lovers of the legitimate
drama will be pleased to hear
that Manager w. M. Thomas has
secured Sanford Dodge, the bril-
liant young tragedian and roman
tic actor, for an appearance here
in a grand revival of one of his
classic and romantic produc-
tions. Mr.. Dodge's work is of
the highest order. He is young,
ambitious and possessed of a
natural gift that is sure to build
for him a merited reputation in
his profession. With each sue.
cessive season his popularity
seems to gain so that the an
nouncement of his appearance is
always welcome news to theater-
goers, and packed houses are the
rule every where.
The appearace of Mr.. Sanford
Dodge and his talented company
of dramatic artists in Macbeth,
Friday, September 10th will be
greeted with delight by all lovers
OF the drama. The name of
Sanford Dodge is a synonym of
dramatic excellence, as it has
eyer been connected with the
highest class of dramatic work
and this season his productions
are superior to any he has ever
before attempted.
No other attraction touring the
Northwest can afford to carry
the high class artists engaged
by Mr.. Dodge, as no other actor
has the confidence of the play
going public in this territory to
such an extent that they will
give sufficient financial support
to pay the immense salaries com
manded by the artists who sup
port Mr.. Dodge this season.

How is it with the democratic party?
Our political history has never seen
a situation so ludicrous as hat which
the national democracy now holds. |
can understand how the citizen can
work for the republican party and
vote it's ticket with enthusiastic zeal.
If the republican party represents his
ideals of government, then he is justly
proud Of it, can justly contide in it,
for it has stood by its principles
through storm as well as sunshine:
and no matter how bad you and | may
think its creed is, we are bound to adj
nit that the republican party has a
creed, is willing to fight for it, is will
ing to cling to it in defeat, and con-
tinue to struggle for it until victory
comes again. But why any human
being should, in the year 1904, vote
the national democratic ticket is some
thing that passes my untutored APP
prehension.
| can understand why the citizen
could vote a local democratic ticket;
| can understand how in some cities
and in some states that party may be
struggling to do some distinct thing,
which he believes ought to be done:
but in the name of common sense tell
me why any sane and sober citizen
should in this campaign vote the ma
| tiopa1 damooratic ticket
What principle of democracy does
it stand for? What does it propose
to do for the people, different from
what the republicans are doing? To
what point is it directing its line of
march, except to the republican camp?
Surrounded by the Wall street mag
mates who had financed his campaign
for two years, Judge Parker bided his
time till the perils of the two-thirds
rule were passed: and when it was too
late for the convention to retrace its
steps-fOr even the democratic bosses
require more than fifteen minutes to
urn completely round in-he cracks
the Wall street whip over the heads
of his leaders, and with prompt ODE
dience the great democratic legions
were made to furl their flags and re-
verse their line of march.
The mass of the democratic party
feel outraged at the way in which
their leaders have sold them to Wall
street. | do not believe that the six
and a half million men who followed
Bryan with cheers on their lips and
warm convictions in their hearts, can
now be delivered like cattle to the
Clevelandites who knitted the ticket or
bolted in 1896. | believe that the
great majority of the men who voted
for Bryan are men of convictions: [
cannot hope they will realize that |
am fighting their battle now.

SALOON MAN
HELD LIABLE
Texas Court Says He Must Pay Dam.
ages for Allowing Minor to Gam
BILE in His Place of Business.

On Wednesday the fourth court Of
civil appeals sitting at San Antonio,
Texas, upheld the validity Of the law
which enables parents to recover on
the bond of liquor dealer who allow
ed a minor to loiter about his place.
The suit in which the decision was
rendered was that of J. B. Dow VS. John
Krick, of Ell Paso, in which Dow re-
covered judgment on Krick's bond be-
cause his minor son was allowed to
enter and gamble in the Acme saloon
in the Pass City.
The defendant in the case, Krick, Is
well known in Santa Fe, as up to sew
eral years ago he conducted saloon
at Cerrillos. He also has property in.
terests in this city. Since going to Ell
Paso Krick has been conducting the
Acme saloon, the largest establish.
ment of it's kind in that city.
At the time the suit was brought,
Krick was absent in Los Angeles, Cal.
ifornia, and some of his employees
were to blame for allowing the minor
to loaf about the saloon. This, how.
ever, did not release the proprietor
from being held responsible.
It is not likely the defendant will
carry the case any further, as the su.
preme court Of that state affirmed a
similar case short time ago.

advisors has been followed by num-
Der of other facts showing his inten-

VERDICT CAUSES
A SENSATION
Public Shocked at Outcome Of Baca
Case in Socorro County-His-
tory Of Crime.

In the district court of Socorro
County now in session at SOcorrO,
Judge Frank w. Parker, presiding,
James Grimes and Thomas Bauer, con-
victed at this term for robbery of the
Santa Fe station at Magdalena last
summer and blowing open the safe,
were sentenced to term of ten years
in the Territorial penitentiary at San
ia Fe.
The jury in the case of Jacobo Baca,
charged with the killing of Henry Cul-
Inns, brought in verdict of not guilty.
The verdict in this case caused SEN
sation as the crime with which Baca
was charged was said to have been
one of the most brutal and cold-blbood
ed murders in the annals of the Ter
ritory.
The evidence showed that the crime
was committed at the close of day sew
eral months ago. Cullins was an Am
erican with a native wife and at the
time of the murder it was alleged that
Baca was paying attention to Collins
wife. On the evening of the killing
Cullins, upon his arrival home from
work, found Baca in the house with
the woman. A fight ensued and Cul-
Inns being unable physically to cope
with Baca, fled from the house and
sought refuge between two buildings.
Baca followed him into the small in.
closure and thrust knife into the
body of his victim several times. Cul-
Inns finally succeeded in reaching the
street, where he expired.
