THE ASSESSED VALUATION. It Has Beon Illegally Changed By the County Commissioners. A DECISION BY JUDGE WAKELEY, —— Opinions of Attorneys on Judge Dundy's Ruling Relative to Jury P Holders—Federal and County Courts. District Court. Judge Wakeley has given a decision in the two cases of Switzler and Straight vs the board of county commissioners, relative to changing the assessed valuation. T he board of equalization raised the valua- tion on two lots owned by Mr. Switzler from 3,200, as fixed by the assessors, to $4,500 and compelled him to pay #8100 more taxes than he would have been required 1o pay under the original appraisement. The valuation of Straieht's lots was increased $6,000, thus making his excess in taxes &300. The commissioners approved this action, but Switzler and Straight contested in the court, Judge Wakeley held that there are only two rules under which the board can vqu;f- 170 nssessments, One of theso is by wards and townships, which they can regulate on their own motion, that is if they find that the valuation is too high in one ward and too low in another, They may lower the one on a general scale and raise the other, The second class includes specitic property and the judge's ruling is that, to make any change in the assessor's valuation, the board must file a written complaint against the owner and enter into a formal treatment of the case. This opinion, of coitrse, gave Switzler and Straleht a victory. The court ordered that the action of the board againat their lots be set aside, It is generally conceded that the decision establis a new condition of things, and will probably have the effect of making many thousands of dollars diffor- ence in the valuation on Douglas county real estate and the amount of taxes collected. Judge Hopewell issued a restraining order in the application of Arthur S, Potter, an injunction against Mayor Broatch, St. A. D. Balcombe, a8 chairman of the board of pub- lic works, and Michael Lee, president of the city council, restraining them from paving an alley in the block bounded by Mary's evenue, Twenty-sixth, Halt Howard and Twenty-fifth stroets, Tho hearing is set for next Saturday. An amended petition in the $1,000 damage suit of Edward S. Stout against’ the Union Puacific railway company, was filled yester- day in the district court.

United States Court. The case of Lola Pickett against the Model Steam laundry, for 5,000 damages, alleged to have been sustained by etting her band injured in one of the mangles of that place; came up yesterday. Miss Pickett resides in Seward, Ia., buttwo years ago was an employe at the laundry at a salary of 80 8 week. On the 9th of November, 1887, she mot with the accident above alluded to, by which she lost one finger of the right nand. The grounds for the claim for dam- ages is neglect upon the part of the laundry ple in running the machinery. In the contempt caso against Treasurer Arterburn and Sheriff Rogers, of Chase county, for levying on proparty in the hands of a United States ofiicer, the defendants wero nsscssed tho costs of arrestand the pringing them here to court. but the assess- ment of fines and punishment was held in abeyance for soveral doys. L. F. Crofoot, of this city, was admitted to practice in the United States court. The grand jury is busily ongaged in in- vestigating _tho alleged miail robbery case against ex-Postmaster Cowell and wife, of Halsey, this state. There is a large array of witnesses 1n_attendance, and tho matter is being rigldly inquired into. The County Court. William Drummond eatered suit yesterday in the county court yesterday to recover $420 from William E. Gratton. The inaebted- mness is claimed to be due on a promissory note. James Creighton and J. J. O'Connor were appointed executors of the estate of Daniel ullivan, deceased. The following luafimm were rendored sterday: Danlel Burr vs William F. Men- ng ot al, for $260.15; William Spencer vs James McGucken, for defendant. Jury Pass Holders. The ruling made by Judge Dundy that the possession of & pass does not disqualify any man from acting as a juror in the trial of railrond cases, has furnished the lawyers an interesting subject to discuss. A large majority of the members of tho county bar take exceptions to his honor's ruling and opouly declare that it is a dangerous one. Mr. Warren Switzler said that he pre- sumed the mattor was discretionary with the court, though, in his opinion, the knowledge thav a juror holds @ pass, ought to be sufficient ground to challenge him for cause. Circumstances, however, he said, often change the case. In westorn states, where railroads are liberal with their favors, it would be a difficult mat- ter in the United States court to get jurors ;ugugh if ll the pass-holders were disquali- lod. General Cowin said he would certainly ap- peal a case to the United States supreme court if the amount involved reached $5,000, and take his chances of having a verdict against pass-holders reversed. “Qur supreme court has already decided,” ohimed in Mr. Keller, “that it is a misde- meanor for an attorney, while engaged in the trial of a case, to be seen taking a drink with a juror, or inviting him out either to dine or ride with him. 1It, therefore, strikes mo that i pass is strong enough objection to the prescuce of a man holding it serving as a juror in the trial of any case wherein a rail- road company is one party to the suit.” L Many of the recognized authorities in civil as well as military circles say, “The malarial disease is most danger- ous in that the kidneys are most liable to broak down.” Such men as Dacosta, Atkinson and Pepper, professors in our leading medical schools, and Soldaton, Surgeon General in the Russian army, Woodward, Surgeon General in our American army, speak of malaria as a direct complication of chronic Bright's disense. The kidneys must be kept free from disease and the poisonous germs of malaria; they must act normally in cleansing the biood, for 65 gallons of it passes through them every hour. Peo- le in malarial localities recover from th the cause and effect of malaria by using Warner’s Safe Cure. Every person, in the spring or fall, who has either Mduuy disease or malaria,should use Warner’s Safe Cure as a precaus tlonary measure. B Board of Fublic Works. The board of public works yesterday approved tho bond of C. H. Pritohett, under contract to do certain grading. A permit was granted the motor company to build three miles of track from Seven- teenth and Olarke stroets to ‘I'wenty-second, from Twenty-sccond to Charles and from Bixteenth and Speucer to Thirty-second.

The Stockyards OMoials Hold a Pri te Confab. The version of John A. McShano of the South Omaha stockyards deal as published in a morning paper was given under somo- what peculiar circumstances, [t was roported yestorday that John I, Boyd was oqually sur- prised with a great many others when Tue Bre come into his possession last evening. He repuired to the residence of William A. Paxton where he had not been long before Mr. MoShane put in an ap- pearance. When a reporter of one of the papers publishing a contradiction Interviewed McShane, Mr. Boyd was pres- ent and Mr. MoShane's reply was most likely warped to suit the ‘‘guests’ However, a private conference was held at Paxton’s residence, Wednesday night, but the themo of discussion could not be learned. Mr. Boyd stated to a friend, yvesterday, that,while it was nows to him, he' was of the opinion that the report in Tur Ber was not very wide of the mark. Others, who seem to_be cognizant of tho situation, claim that Tug Bek did not overdraw the matter. Hon, William A. Paxton was seen in refer- ence 1o the report that Mr. E. Dickenson would be offered the presidency of the South Omaha Stock Yards company. He said that the report had probably become current by reason of a consuitation which was held recently between a few of the leading stock holders, at which @ proposition was discussed looking to tho ~appointment of a man qualified to conduct the business of the company in the absence of either Mr. McShane or Mr. Paxton. “The business has grown to such enor. mous proportions,” smd Mr. Paxton, “‘that we have been compelled to give most of our personal attention to it, which bas resulted in neglect of other highly important por. sonal interests. Further, Mr. McShane au myself have necessarily'to be absent a con- siderable portion of the time, which makes it almost imperative that a man bo secured who is in every way qualificd by superior judgment and executive ability to properly manage the business, In the conference ai- luded to, Mr. Dickinson’s name, together with those of _ thrce prominent raflway officials of this city, was mentioned, but for a proposition being made to any of them, we are jusi as far away from a conclusion as to the' man to be selected as we were a year ago."

We have also two inmates of the home, sub- ject to painful recurring attacks of ery las. Neither one improved under the treat- ment usual for the disease. When all other medicines were discarded and they took S, S. S. the cure in each case was quick and permanent, for they have been well for five years and there has been no return of the Qdisease.

An important deal is being considered by the Union and Northern Pacific roads. It is @ leaso by tho former of 150 miles of road, the property of the latter. This action has grown out of the disputo regarding Puget Sound trafic. About ten years ago, before the Union Pa- cific had acquired Control of the Oregon Ruilway & Nuvigation system, tho Northern Pacific obtained a lease of the track belong- ing to that system between Waluut Junction and Portland. The Northern Pacific has another, but a circuitous line, to the north of this, which 18 @ coast out- let. To run over this requircs twelve hours more time than are required via _tho Union Pa- cific line.. To reach Pugst Sound the Union Pacific is_compelled to use 150 miles of track of the Northern Pacific, which is that portion between Portland and Olym- pia and Tacoma. In this way, both lines have access to the Puget sound points; but, according to reports, neithor has been satis- fled with them. Some time ago, the Union Pacific, which is lessee of the Navigation line, made & proposition to the Northern Pa- cific for the cancellation of the present and the entering into of a joint lease of both com- panies. This subject ‘was under cousidera- tion for some time, but the request by the former was more than the latter cared to grant, in consequence, the deal has fallen through. Following this, came the issue on Puget sound traflic, which is now an im- portant 1ssue before the railway world. ‘The action of the Northern Pacific is regarded as final and the collapse of the association is consequently anticipated. In view of this fact, the Union Pacific has concluded to lease that section of the Northern Pacific between Portland and Tacoma, whi will give them a continuous and easy line to Pugot Sound points. o This was decided uponWednesday and will be the object of the visit of Vice President Holcomb, General Attorney Thurston, and Messrs. Kimball and Millard, to that point to-day. It is also stated that the Union Pacific will endeavor to have the track iease of tho Northern Pacific between Wallace Junction and Portland cuncelled. 1In the event of the deal being consummated, that company will open up @ general western department at Olympia or Portland, on an extensive scale, ‘Wil Stand No Reduction. Considerable has been said of late concer: ing the attitude of the various railroads toward the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- eers. Reports have been rife that cer- tain western roads were conspiring to boy- cott the brotherhood men, but as yot no proof of this alleged fact has been adduced. A telegram in T Bie of yesterday, from Chicago, concerning the matter, was shown a member of the brotherhood. He read it over carefully, and said: “This may be true, so far as tho action of the railroads is con- sorned; but, let me say that the engineers will stand no reduction in wages, There is not a day that we step into the cab of our ongines that our lives are not imperiled, and from unayoidable circumstan- ces, 100. But this is not connected with our demand that no reduction be made. We have no easy duty to perform in the capacity of engineers. We are paid but moderate wages for our service, although it is a con- tinual drain upon 8 man’s system to oceupy an engineer's cab, He works hard, bas long hours and must be an adept in the business. I have read of reports concerning the pros- pect of another outbreak, but I am ignorant of any uction having been taken in the prem- ises. Anengneer told me that the Milwau- kee road had the subject under considera- tion, but I think the road is suficicatly fa- miliar with the result of the Burlington strike to cause it to meditate before follow- ing its example.” Dickinson Declines. There was much rejoiciog at Union Paciflo headquarters over the telogram in Tus Bex from Sioux City announcing that Assistant General Manager Dickinson had declined the position of general manager tendered him by £h6 South Omana Stook Yards company.

The amendment provides for the assessment. of an amount necessary by the council for its expensos_to bo apportioned among the parishes by the standing committee. ~ After considerable discussion the report went over %0 tho evening meeting, whon it was recom- mended for a year. The proposed addition of & new cauon, requiring _communicants to receive com- munion three times a year, and fixing ex- pulsion as & punishment for a tailure to ro- ceive the communion for two years, evoked a discussion that became heated at times. The proposed canon was tabled, but was finally reforrd to the general convention as a suggestion for noeded legislation, The committeo on religious instruction in the army presented a report, which was adopted, reccommending an_increaso of the number’ of army chaplains and an appro- priation by congress for the erection of soldiors’ chapels at various army posts.

Mombers of tho plumbers' union appeared on_the scene and succeedod in persuading one of the non-union men to leave work, but the other two refused to do s0, saying that they proferrod working. ‘'he journeymen of the union are watching the building and all the depots closely, and declare that no man shall go to_work there until this matter is sottled. Those men who were not engaged watch ing Tue Drr building and the depots were scattered in squads along Douglas street, discussing the question.

Hannigan, Graham Park, Dennis Fitzpatrick, Frank Bellamy and J. Reed, all mastor_plumbers, took their kits and went to work on Tne Bek building, in the places of the strikers, Tho journeymen threatened in the morning that, if any of the master plumbers twent to work, all union mem employed about the building would bo called off. A _number of the strikers stood around guying the bosses at work, but no attention was paid to them. “Tinners, plasterers, painters and mem- bors of all kinds of trade organizations have been to see us and offer us financial aid,” said President Conway, of tho Journeymen Plumbers’ union,as ho came out of the meet- mg at the G.

SonuyLer, Nob., May 16.—|Special to T Brr.]—Schuyler hav had a genuine sensa- tion in the last few days, caused by the ex- posure of a social scandal that has caused the complete ruin of two happy families. Several weeks ago Mr. A., a highly respected citizen, was led to bolieve that his wife was unduly intimate with Will G, McPherson, traveling salesman for Richardson, Boyaton & Co., of Chicago, who resides here. McPherson's father rocently died, and Mr. A. and wife boing intimato friends of the family, went there to assist. In the middle of thé hight Mr. A. went into the room where the body luy and found his wifo and young McPherson in a compromising position, He suid nothing but proceeded to investigate. A few days after he told his wife that he was going to a vestry meeting that evening and would not be back until 10 o'clock. He went out, but roturned in afew moments and told his wifo that he did not feal well, and would remain at home. in a few mo: monts thore was o gentle knock ag the back door. He quickly opened it, and there stood McPherson, who bocame confused and ro- fused to enter, and quickly disappeared in the aarkness. He thon charged his wife with infidelity, and she broke down and con- fossed. Mr. A, then her procured an attorney, who took written confession, which stated that her relations with McPherson antedated three years, The attorney drew up & deed conveying to her husband what proverty he had deeded to her, and she signed it and last Saturday morning she took the early morning train for Chicago. It now develops that for a long time the neighbors had suspected something wroug on account of McPherson’s frequent visits when Mr, A, was aw: Proceeed- ings for a divoroe have already been begun. What makes the matter more aggravating is the fact that McPherson was an intimate friend of Mr. A. McPherson has a lovely wife and two children. He has Joft home and his where- abouts ave at present unknown. Should he venture to return to' Schuyler he will be promptly arrested. “Mr. A. was a kind and affectionate husbang and their home life had always been harmopious.
