 As it may be of interest to our readers ho know something more of this new law. we will state that the law requires that the county judge appoint two citi- Zens from each township to serve with the tax assessor as an equalization board for that town ship. They are to meet and sit with the assessor and assess all property both real and personal 1 in their township. The law makes 1t a penalty of twenty 1 five dollars for any one so ap. pointed by the county judge to refuse to serve for the time ap' pointed, or fail to meet the aS- sessor at the stated appointment for his township. All persons are required to meet this board and render their lists while they are sitting in their town ship, any failure to do so, a per. alty of 25 per cent and One dol lar is assessed against delln- quent. We want to espec' at call attention to, that under the law, you cannot, if you fail 10 meet the assessor, when he IS in your township, come to his of flee at the court house and as- sess without paying the penalty as above mentioned.
 Ii the law is carried out to the letter there is no doubt in our mind hut that t will be an inn pfovemesl on tie old equaliza- ton board, Is it is reasonable to suppose that the two men living jn tbe Township know more as to the va,ae or real and personal

net, and, of course, the submarine
cannot know that, as it cannot see,
and if it runs into the net, from that
time on its capture is certain, because
the net itself is made for the purpose
of keeping track of it.
eve did not find out for long time
what those nets are like, and l think
it is necessary that it should be UNDER
stood in order to realize the great
danger submarines run in the pres
ence of light surface craft. The net
is very light one made of wire rope,
probably not as big as lead pencil,
probably not more than, quarter Of
an inch in diameter. The meshes of
the net are twelve or fifteen feet
square. On the top of this net are1
floats and on the bottom are little
weights. The moment this net is in
the water in front of the submarine
the floats keep the net on the surface
and the weights keep the bottom
down, and if It runs into it its bow
goes into one of the meshes and the
net falls back around it, and it may
foul its propeller or may not. The
net is 800 or 400 yards long, and, as
the submarine proceeds, the floats will
trail on the surface, so that even if il
dives deeper it leaves these on the
surface, its trail is plain and there is
no difficulty then in capturing it. 1t
knows when it runs into a net that its
capture is practically certain

SIX LARGE CHINESE
PROVINCES REVOLT
Threat is Made to Send Army
to Peking to Force the
Dissolution of Par
lament.

Peking, June 2.-The provinces OF
Anhui, Chilli, Hu-Pe, Che-Kiang, Fo-
Kien and Ho-Nan have proclaimed
their independence and threaten to
send a joint expedition to Peking to
force the dissolution of Parliament
and the reinstatement of Tuan-C -Chi-Jui
as premier. Tang-Hau-Lung, speaker
OF the assembly, has resigned and
gone to Tien-Tsin to join the military
governors.
The attitude of Chang g-Hsun, the
commander of the government troops
at Marking, and Feng- -Kwo-C Chang,
the vice president, is underlined, but It
is believed that both are inclined to
support the militarists. The president
has issued lengthy statement de-
Tending his dismissal of the premier,
at the same time highly praising him
and expressing the hope that he may
serve the country in the future. The
statement ends:
If those responsible for the present
crisis intend to provoke internal war
l will under no consideration watch
the country sink into perdition. | am
not afraid to die for the country"
The general tone of the statement
is apologetic and lacking in strength.
Owing to the refusal of Li-Ching Hsi
to accept the premiership, the presi-
dents position is precarious.
The six revolving provinces in
China form the major part OF the
southeastern portion of the republic
and have a population of about 12O,-
100000. The situation in China has
grown steadily more threatening since
President Ii Yuan Hung dismissed
Premier Tuan Chi Jul from office on
May 23, following a riotous session OF
the House. of Representatives, at
which the deputies refused to pass a
resolution declaring war on Germany.
The Parliamentary building was sur
rounded by mob demanding war and
the president accused the premier Of
attempting to coerce Parliament. The
military governors sided with the dis
missed prime minister and left the
capital in tody.

Sheep--Packers have demonstrated this
week that they could break sheep and lamb
prices even faster than they advanced them
just a short while back. Locally receipts
were the lightest In two years and moder-
ate runs were the rule at all points, but
the market has fallen with . dull thud
everywhere. The fact that values were q
great deal higher than the prices tho pub
lie was willing to pay for dressed lamb and
mutton warranted was the cause Of the
decline. f8tf
On the better grades Of sheep and lambs
there has been a slump OF abeut $2.oo from
the high time last week. Nothing was
here yesterday Of consequence, but had
offerings been Of any size there might
have been further break. as Chicago was

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

ings. The extreme rise was 22o bushel,
but quotations. underwent subsequent
steep drop. and closed unsettled. with net
gains OF SO to DC, at s2.06 for July and
$1.01 for September. Cash wheat that is
wheat for immediate delivery, did not fol-

Corn finished No to 4ho up. oats un-
changed to Nc higher and provisions vary
ing from 10 decline to q rise OF 20c.
II required actual buying OF only 10000
bushels to cause the jump In the price OF
September wheat. Even smaller trading
forced the rise In the July option. Almost
the sole new bullish development In sight
was the announcement that the government
intends 10 protect growers in marketing
their crops and that prices would bo guar
antoed high enough to stimulate production.
One crop estimate suggested that the yield
In North America this season would reach
a total OF fully a billion bushels, but i'm
port needs Of Great Britain, France and
Italy were put at 100000 bushels.
One reason which made sellers wary of
wheat was the strength Of corn. Continued
unfavorahle weather formed the chief stm-
ulus to buyers In the corn market Oats
sympathixed with the ascent of corn and
wheat. Besides, export business of late
had tempered bearish enthusiasm.

They Like.
BY A. R. GROH.

Let's have a little heart-to-heart
talk today, friends. ...
would like to find out which OF
nv articles you like the best
Now, Smarty, don't say you don't
like any of them. That isn't polite
and besides it indicates that there's
something wrong with your noodle"
What want to know, readers dear,
is this: ....-
Do you like those piffle stories
where tell you, for instance. how
Mr.. and Mrs. Bunker refused to rent
their famous hill, but gave it free
to their country as place to fight the
battle of Bunker Hill?
Do you like the statistical stories
where | inform you how many piles
of silver dollars as high as the City
National bank building the Liberty
loan would maker
Do you like serious municipal iri-
formation, such as statement Of.
Omaha's city debt and what cities, if
any, have bigger ones?
Is any one present who likes stories
where l talk about myself! see
few hands. Thank you, friends. ~
Some May Like Poems.
Do you like my answers to read
ers' questions? Do you care for the
poems that | print sometimes?
These questions are important and
we will do well to devote today to
considering them.
There are all kinds of people in
the world, you know. Some of them
like foolishness. Abraham Lincoln
was one of these. "A little nonsense
now and then is relished by the wisest
men, / can be foolish when ] try
and. though it is a great effort, I am
willing to try hard and often for your
sakes, dear readers.
The Tired Business Man and the
Weary Working Girl like a bit of
foolishness when they come home in
the evening. They don't want to find
every day that have written an ar
ticle starting like this: x
Omaha manufactures more double-
jointed pickles and seedless olives
than any other city in the world"
Some Like Pickle, Some an Onion. :
On the other hand there are those,
good people who count that moment'
lost which doesr't. add some useful
information to their fund. They
would like that story about the
pickles and would clip it out, per.
haps, and paste it in their scrap books.
But they would turn up their noses
at story starting this way: I -
"I interviewed Theopholus Artax-
erxes Boggs. most worshipful spade
holder of the International Order,
Sons of Clam Diggers."
Other reads just dote on history.
They are strong for articles like
this:
"The first hotel built in Omaha
was the Insomnia house, which stood
at what is now the corner of Second
and Begonia streets. In the fall Of
1856" etc.
Now, dear, cherished readers, let
me know what you want. And I
promise you shall have it. We strive
to please. Our motto-"The best is
none too good for our readers"
Drop me line now and tell me
what you want written up and how
you want it written up.

SECRET STILLS IN
MANY RUSS TOWNS
Consumption of Home Made
Vodka Working Havoc in
the Rural Commun-
--..-,. tiles. r.-
Correspondence of The Associated Press,

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
Petrograd, April 24.-Prohibition of
traffic in vodka which went into ef-
feet at the beginning of the war, while
reducing to a minimum the percentage
of drunkenness in cities throughout
the empire, has met with less flatter-
ing results in the villages, according
to reports recently received.
In these rural communities secret
distilleries have sprung up and new
scourge" has taken the. place of the
vodka Of other days. This is especial
ly true Of Siberian villages, says
Ryetch. A Siberian deputy is quoted
to the effect that the peasants, instead
of bringing corn to the towns to sell,
are engaged in buying the small
stocks remaining in such towns for
sale to secret distilleries OF vodka at
fancy prices, some times paying as
high as IA cents pound.
This communications" continues
Ryetch, lis confirmed by the Siberian
press. Nearly every village now has
its own distillery. Consumption of
this homemade product is increasing
the number of hooligans in the vii
lagos and the latter are suffering in
consequence. And this evil is not
confined to Siberia. In the middle
provinces the same conditions exist.
The Tambovsky Zemsky Vestnik
says of these provinces: Homemade
vodka is consumed in enormous guam
titles in spite Of its high cost. The
peasants have plenty of money and
with few distractions in the villages,
drinking is on the increase. " The lat
ter article concludes with the signif-
cant observation: Perhaps those who
are afraid of an educated peasant are
secretly condoning this drunkenness"
