The presence OF army worms in alarm
ing numbers Is causing some uneasiness
among the farmers of this vicinity. In a

been harvested, they attack all crops in
the vicinity. owing to the rains and a
hot sun of the last few days they are
materially decreasing. In many fields OF

and he beyond resurrection Il too long
time is taken in getting on the job, II Is
now public secret that Prince Charlie
Bryan and William H. Thompson. the
Grand Island democratic statesman, have
had a blowout.
The old machine in which they have
ridden through so many campaigns and
over rocky roads struck a broken bottle
somewhere on the political road and II is
doubtful whether the puncture sustained
by tire can be mended or that new
tire can be made before the campaign
ends
Just who was guiding the machine when
the puncture was sustained is not known,
but 1t Is said that Thompson had hold
Of the steering wheel and that Prince

OF land were gathered from precinct as.
SCISSORS Of each county by blank forms
furnished by the bureau The report OF
this bureau showed the lands of Keith
county and the other counties in contro-
rersy were placed at sl5 an acre. yet for
taxation purposes these same assessors
had turned in valuation of only s. on
the same land.
Difference in East.
Inansw er to a question by one of the
members of the court. IL all counties
showed the same condition. Mr. Rich re-
sponded, that counties in the eastern por-
ton OF the state, or at least some of
them, were assessed on lands at 20 per
cent of their value. while in the western
portion some counties ran as low as 30
per cent.
He referred TO a statement mode by c. J.
Smythe of Omaha, when he was attorney
general Of the state, that the railroads
aid more than their proportonate share
or the taxes as being one man who was
not afraid to tell the truth regarding the
manner in which the corporations were
taxed.
Speculative Values.
Senator Hoagland Of North Platte, ap-
pearing for Lincoln county and the other
counties, said that valuation Of lands in
those counties we're speculative values
placed upon the land by real estate men
and the prices showed in the abstracts
gathered by the railroads did not show
the true value. He cited several in
stances where Lincoln county land had
teen sold at shenffs sale at 81 per acre
and tract owned by the Union Pacific
railroad comprising 21,OO0 acres which
had sold for 100000 and the company had
to take 1t back. He thought that the
prices showed covered third class land
some OF which was owned by himself
which he would sell for g. per acre, but
nobody took him up.
Mr.. Hoagland denied the statement by
Mr.. Rich that the Union Pacific road
had become domesticated and insisted
that the road was not assessed at its
value, but was worth considerable more
He charged that the road had added inn
provements to its yards at North Platte
ageregating s75O,OOO yet the valuation
Of the road had not been increased. He
believed that the valuation of the road
should be increased to three times Its
present valuation for taxation purposes.

Illinois Central Freight Train Crashes Into Crowded Street Car-More Than Fifteen h. jured Trailer Hurled Over Embankment


 Just before the accident occurred orc freight train had cleared the street railway tracks and the crew, failing to sight another train coming from the opposite direction, the motor car and trailer we're started over the crossing. The motor car cleared the tracks, but the trailer was struck midway and carried several hundred feet before it fell over the embankment. The heavy freight cars, lumber ladened, crushed it to sp1inters.
 Most of those who were killed were seated near the middle of the car. Their bodies were badly mangled. Of the dead all were instantly killed with the exception of Roper. who died several hours after he was brought to the hos pital.
 w s. Stevenson, engineer of the freight train, declared that he had no warning that the street car was at tempting to cross the tracks until he was directly upon it. He applied the emergency brakes, he asserts, but too late to prevent the accident.

The front is shorter than in the bat tie of the Marne, but this will result only in more fiercely contested bat tie, with masses of troops throwing themselves at each other, and every available piece of artillery concen- trated in the determined effort of the armies to break through each others lines.
 The Germans, who a fortnight ago, had to abandon their first swift endeavor to destroy the armies of France and Greas Britain and capture Paris. have fortified themselves on the mountains north of the River Aisne through the plains of Champagne and in the Argonne moun- tains, through which the Mouse flows They are in stronger positions than they were for the battle of the Marne and have been strongly reinforced with fresh troops from the north and east. They already have attempted counter attacks against the allied troops. which. flushed with victory, have been trying to pre- vent them from entrenching themselves. GERMANS LOSE
 GROUND, REPORT
 According to English and French off, ficial reports, these attacks have been repulsed and the Germans compelled to give way. at certain points, but the Ger man general staff claims the opposite.
 It is certain. however, that the hilly country north of the Aisne offers good ground for such tactics. It would ap- pear that these western wings of the two armies the German right and the allies left again are to bear heavy part. Upon the armies of General yon Kluck and General Won Buelow depend the safety of the rest of the German army, should retreat be decided on or forced on them. Besides holding the front they have to be prepared to withstand another attempt on the part of the allies to outnank them.
 These German forces hold position from a point near Noyon on the Oise. along the district north of the Aisne to the junction of the latter river with the Euippes Behind them are splendid Hallway. lines, running in all directions. which facilitate the movement of troops from St. Quentin.
