En-
ployer a Thief

BOSTON, Aug. 16.-J. Warren
Hastings, since 1864 trusted officials
at the United States sub-treasury in
this city, was arrested today on a
charge of embezzling from the gov
ernment S31 900 in casn on June Z
last
The money was taken from pack
age containing 100000 in bills pre-
pared for shipment to Washington to
be retired from circulation and the
shortage was made good by another
clerk technically responsible, but who
at no time was under suspicion.
Hastings is 65 years old and un-
married. His record for 43 years
service was practically faultless.

Reporter
Assaulted
Reno Firemen Attempt
to Intimidate Press by
Power

Because E. l.. HOuchins, one of the
ial staff Of the Reno Journal dared to
critize the lack of management of the
Reno fire department he was attacked
in that city yesterday afternoon by
members of the ''would-be" fire de-
partment and severely beaten. A
man by the name of Biggs, roust.
about at the Southern Pacifis passen-
ger depot also took a hand in the
affair and tried to hammer out lit
tie vengence from the body Of the
young reporter.
The police interferred when the
fight became a free for all exhibition
and after Houchins was in their hands
he was pounced upon by fireman
and the news gatherer was struck
several times while unable to defend
himself
Warrants have been sworn out for
the men who were instrumental in
the trouble on the charge of assault
and battery and it is hoped that they
will get what is coming t othem. The
Journal of today certainly hands the
fire department out warm package
and before they get through with the
matter it will probably be the cause
OF several changes being made in
that part Of the citys branch of gov.

Settlement
Satisfactory

in speaking of the recent complaint
fled BY the rancherS OF Carson Val
ley in regard to lack of water there
for irrigation and the changing of the
channel by the government engineers
the Courier of last night has the fol
lowing from which it appears that
everything will be settled satisfactor-
lily to all parties concerned
The State Engineer was in the
Valley last Tuesday. and in company
with farmers went TO the scene OF
trouble.
We are informed by one of the
farmers concerned. that it was the
desire of some of the farmers to have
water commissioner appointed by
the engineer, but that it was finally
decided to divide the water in the
manner which has been in vogue since
farming became an industry of this
Valley. 1t is claimed that by eXercis
ing little discretion that there will
be sufficient water for all. In regard
to changing the channel of certain
slough, it is also said that natura
causes changed it's course during the
high water of last March. The entire
affair will be peacefully and satisfact
orily adjusted to all concerned.

Hits Coldfield And a
Great Religious Revival

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 16.-Strange and
startling as it may seem, there is no
denying the fact that Goldfield,
known as rne OF the Cities where the
latch to crime and licentiousness has
ever been open, is about to expert
ence a great religious revival and that
instead of the sound of wild songs
and riotous revelry that now fills the
night air, the sweet hymn and the
voice of the crusade against the
world, the flesh and the devil will be
heard from every street corner
Nightly the number of street preach
ers seem to increase and the Saliva.
tion Army, the Feniel Mission and
other organizations that work for the
conversion OF the sinner by appealing
to him from the front of the haunts
OF vice and sin are growing in numb

Il have been watching the signs
closely said a local clergymen this
morning, and l believe Goldfield will
in the next few months be swept by
wave of religious enthusiasm almost
unheard of. Every mining camp ex
periences this sooner or later, as a
reaction against the abandon of licen
tlousness and pleasure that always &c
with early prosperity. The evengelists
now IN Goldheld are an exceptionally

The State Capital
Matters of General Interest
- from =
Nebraska's Seat OF Government
Assessors Elected this Year.

In an opinion handed down by At
torney General Thompson 1t Is held
that county assessors must be elected
this fall The opinion, written to
l.. B. Stiner county attorney of Clay
county, is as follows
1. Should county assessors be elect
ed this fall?
2. Is the present incumbent disqual-
flied from holding the Office for an
other succeeding term?
Answering your first inquiry, beg
leave to state that, in harmony with
the intention of the legislature of
1905 to provide for biennial elections,
the statute relative to the time for
electing county assessors was in the
election law changed from 1907 to
1908 and every four years thereafter.
The supreme court, in all of the cases
that were brought before it wherein
supplementary statutes as parts of
the scheme to create biennial elections
were involved, declared these stat
utes invalid. l have no doubt If the
statute of 1905 had remained un
changed the court would have de-
clared the statute invalid which un
dertook to change the time of cleo
ton of county assessors from 1907
to 1908 and every four years there
after for the reasons assigned by the
court in the cases brought to test the
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-07-11
HAPPENED AT BAD TIME.
Minister'S Fall Significant in View Of
Previous Words.

IN q small church in one of the min
ing towns of Pennsylvania was a pull
pit both antique and unique. 1t was
about the size and shape Of flour
barrel, was elevated from the floor
about four feet and was fastened to
the wall The ascent was by narrow
winding steps.
A minister from a neighboring town,
q man of great vigor and vehemence,
preached there one Sunday While
preaching he bent forward and shout
ed out with great force the words Of
his text:
1.-THE righteous shall stand, but the
wicked shall fall"
Just as these words escaped from
his lips, the pulpit broke from it's
fastening, and he fell out and rolled
over on the floor before his congre-
cation. In an instant he was on his
feet again and said
Brethren, am not hurt, and l
don't mind the fall much, but / do
hate the connection"

statutes above referred enacted in
the attempt of the legislature Of 1905
to establish biennial elections. Evil
IDENTITY with this in contemplation the
legislature of 1907 amended the cleo
ton law to provide for the election
OF county assessors in the year 1907
and every four years thereafter, as
provided in the original revenue bill.
Therefore it is my opinion that county
assessors should be elected in the
year 1907 and every four years there
after.
Answering your second question, beg
leave to state that it is my opinion
that the present incumbent in the
office of county assessor is not eligi,

Junkin Will Not Sign Warrants.

Secretary of State Junkin has de.
cided to sign no more certificates filed

are filed in the Office of the auditor,
where he can personally inspect and
investigate them. Mr.. Junkin agreed
to sign the batch filed during the last
few days, as his failure to do so would
delay the payment of warrants to
those who are entitled to the money,
but now that he has given the regents
ample notice he feels that no injus.
tice will be done,

charne of Discrimination.

The Hastings Independent Telephone
company has complained against the
Nebraska Telephone company to the
state railway commission, accusing it
of discriminating in the rates chai Sed
in that town. Manager Lyman wrote
the commission that the Nebraska
company, in defiance of the orders of
the commission, was furnishing tel
ephones to ministers at reduced rates
and to the city library free of charge.
Mr.. Lyman desired to know if the CON-
mission had notified the Nebraska
company as it had his company. re-
garding the charges to be made. He
said he had written the commission
regarding allowing ministers to have
telephones at reduced rates and the
commission told him to follow the
law. which does not permit this. His
company raised the rates, he sail,
and the ministers ordered its phones
taken out and are using the Nebraska
phones at the reduced rates. The
commission will investigate the mat

To Anpeal From Taxes.

I'VE do not intend to try to tic up
the taxes assessed against railroad
property" said Edison Rich, attorney
for the Union Pacific railroad. in
speaking of the mandamus suit of the
company to require the state board to
reconvene and make a record show
ing that the board either refused to
give the details of their methods or
to make a record showing that the
board had refused to answer questions
propounded. But the law permits an
appeal from the finding of any board
in this state and that has always been
the law"
1t Is understood that the Union Pa
cific intends, if it can win it's suit to
compel the board to reconvene and
give it chance to record an excep-
ton to the findings of the board, to
appeal from the assessment to the
court of Lancaster county. A suit OF
this nature will not interfere with
the collection of the taxes of the board
but will permit the roaUs to go
through the state courts to test the
validity of the assessment. This Is
said to be the course outlined by the
railroad company. 1t will probably
be Joined from other roads. This plan
is different from that formerly pur-
sued by the Burlington and the Union
Pacific, which was an injunction suit
in the federal court to prevent the
different county treasurers in the state
from collecting taxes assessed against
railroads. The roads were defeated
in the federal courts and were re-
quired to pay their taxes with heavy
penalty added.
The mandamus suit in the supreme
court to compel the state board of as
sessment to reconvene and make a
minute in the records of its refusal
to answer questions as to the methods
of arriving at values is taken as an
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-07-11
New Automatic Rife.

The self-loading or automatic musk,
ct is now being seriously considered
as the infantry arm of the future. The
equipment OF the great armies of the
world with an improved rifle is hardly
completed when the mechanics begin
work on new weapon. At the recent
examinations of the German War
Academy the automatic rife was one
OF the themes for discussion. The
piece now on trial has a magazine
holding ten cartridges; the recoil is
utilized TO load and cock. Consequent
ly the soldier can remain quietly in
position. never removing his eye from
the target, and fire his ten shots
