,From stan Correspondent

LINCOLN, Aug. 16.-CSpecial )-Attorney
General Norris Brown has received word
from Omaha that the records and data
relative to the assessment of the Wood
men Of the World by the county assessor
and county board OF equalization of Doug
las county would be here within few
days. Immediately upon receipt of these
records the attorney general will bring
nandamus proceedings to compel the as
sessment of the reserve fund of the order.
Discussing the contemplated removal of
the order from Nebraska SHOULD its re-
serve fund be assessed Deputy Attorney
General Thompson said:
Il DO not know of a single state which
would allow this fund to escape taxation.
In saying that no states tax such funds
the offieeEs OF the order are certainly
laboring under a Misrepresentation. At this
time do not know of a state which would
. allow the company to escape taxation on
this fund and therefore / cannot see where
the company would gain anything by leav-
ing Nebraska. il would be a loss to Omaha
and to the state to have the Woodmen
headquarters leave Omaha but under the
law It is clearly the duty of the county
assessor TO assess this reserve fund. I
understand that Il is claimed that some
of the home companies, run as old line
is true then the taxing officials have not
done their duty. 1t is well, though, that
the matter is to get into the courts so
we can get an Interpretation Of the law.

taken In Lincoln Friday by Attorney Gen
eral Brown at which time fve or six
witnesses will be examined. among whom

KEARNEY, Neb., Aug. 16.-(Special Tele-
gram THE brigade broke camp early this
morning but owing to the delay OF the
teams the special trains did not get out
until in the afternoon, instead of a. M.
which will break all connections except
where they have special train service. From
a military standpoint the camp has been a
great success. Geperal Culver and each of
the staff and officers of the regiments have
worked hard to make 1t such.
Considering the number in camp their
department was excellent, there being only
few scalawags, and these will be weeded
out of the Guard as fast as the officers can
get to them. Carousing on the streets or IN
camp and attempted familiarity with
wcmen is not good breeding and has no
scmblance Of either good soldier or a
gentleman.
General Culver and staff will vacate camp
Thursday with the feeling that it was one
of IL not the best vet held by the Ne
