THE OMANA VAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, FINISH - DOUGLAS HEARING Board Takes the Plea for Reduoed Tax Rate Under Advisement. BIDS ON PENITENTIARY BUILDINGS Holt Osunty Hunter Plays Trick on Deputy Game Warden and Gets Him Inte n Damage Suit. (From & Staft Corfespondent.) LINCOLN, July 20.—{Special.)—The hearing before the Board of Equalization on the application of Douglas eounty for a reduction in its tax assessment for state purposes was completed this afternoon. The board teok the matter under advise- ment, promifing to give the facts pre- sented careful consideration. An adjourn- ment was taken until tomorrow mornin when the work on other counties will be resumed. Auditor Weston sald this after- noon he thought the assessment would be completed before Friday of this week. Bids will be opened by the Board of Public Lands and Bulldings tomorrow for finishing the construction of the adminle- tration bullding at the penitentiary and for repairing the west cellhouse. It is esti- mated that the probable cost of the work, with the materials necessary, will be be- tween 320,000 and $30,000. There is no money avallable for this purpose and if a contract is granted by the boara it will be with the understanding that the con- tractor will look to the next legislature tor his remuneration. The fire early last year totally destroyed the office buflding of the institution and badly damagod the west cellhouse. With an appropriation of $75,000 the board has purchased a nmew set of cells for the east almost completed the administration ng and erected a roof over the west The east wing of the institution is now overcrowded and the board hopes to have the old cellhouse refitted, so that ffty or more of the convicts may be confined thereln. The members feel that they were completed, because of the bad sanitary conditions existing, to attempt the comple- tion of the repairs and recomstruction, not- ‘withstanding the deficiency. Several contractors indicated a desire to take on the work, so it is not belleved that the lack of funds will prevent the board's plan from being carried out. With the money now available the ad- ministration building will be put in condi- tion for occupancy probably by August 15, but will still lack some much-needed im- provements. Plays Trick on Game Warden. Deputy Game Warden George L. Carter of North Platte and Superintendent O'Brien of the state fish hatcheries at South Bend, Bhave been sued by a citizen of Holt county for $56,000, for alleged false arrest. They notified Chief Warden Simpkins of their predicament this afternoon and asked for logal assistance in fighting the case. The trouble arose in a pecullar manner from the arrest of a farmer for shooting game in violation of the law. Carter and O'Brien have been conducting a small war against the llicit shooting in Holt county. Among several persons ar- rested at different times was a man ac- companied by two women. The officers took the man into custody and started with him back to O’'Nelll, the county seat, the women following. As they neared the town one of the officers noticed a-man handling a gun in & suspiclous manner in a fleld half a mile from the road. They put the of- fender upon his honor, in the presence of his companions, to appear at the how for trial at 9 o'clock the next morning, teking his' mame as & safeguard against any possible fulness on his part. Then they started after the other man and placed him under arrest. The frst offender falled to appear the pext morning and after waiting several bours the officers swore out a warrant for his arrest. The sheriff of the county served the warrant as directed, but it transpired when this man was brought into court that he was not the ome who so solemnly promised he would voluntarily ap- pear. Later in the day be began sult for $5,000 damages, alleging:that he had suf- fered that much humiliation because of the false arrest that had been made. Articles of incorporation of the Fox Land and Cattle company of Llewellyn, Deuel county, were recorded in the secretary of state’s office today. The company has & edpital stock of $150,000. Its incorporators are Benjamin M. Fox and Oscar D. Kip- ling. Lewis Fairchild, a boy of 15, has begun sult against the Lincoln Traction com- pany, asking $10,000 damages for aiieged mistreatment on & street car. Heiclaims he was assaulted by a conductor In the employ of the company and ejected from the car, notwithstanding he was willing and anxious to pay his fare.

Opposes Long Tenure of Ofice, NORTH PLATTE, Neb., July 27.—To the Editor of The Bee: I notice in today's Bee mention of a meeting to be called at Lin- coln to formulate a proposition to con- tinue and extend the temure of specified offices 'In the state of Nebraska. A similar proposition was made in the legislature of 1897. A lobbyist said to me that he had got some monmey to work the scheme and that I could get some if I wanted it. I sald to him that whatever part I took in the matter I'did not want any money. I heard no more of it. The sheet-anchor of American government is ‘the education of its people. That education should be such that no expert few, should ever be able to exploit the many. Practical participation in politics is the people's school of self- government; continuation or repetition i office affords opportunity to merge political influence, makes the people dormant and indifferent, and ultimately tends to arbi- trary power.

At least 200 persons took advantage of | the evening to visit the depot and see triends and relatives started. It reminded one of the sailing of an ocean limer, and | the noise of the visitors and the excur- slonists was so great at the preliminaries attending that starting of the train was unnoticed until the cars were really in mo- tion. It was sald by those at the depot to be the best trade and pleasure excursion which ever left Omaha, as it included not only a majority of the board of governors of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, but a large proportion of the heads of Omaha houses The train was made up of five slecping cars, two standard Pullmans and three tourist cars. The men generally took the tourist cars,‘leaving the standard sleepers to the men who were accompanied by wo- men, and to the South Omaha party of twenty-six persons, who had engaged one of the standard cars especially for the members of the Stock Exchange. Cars Neatly Decorated. The cars were decorated with Ak-Sar- Ben colors, banners of that order flying from the front of each car, while along the sides were printed streamers bearing the words: “Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Pilgrimage, 1902 “Ak-Sar-Ben Carnival, September 24 to October “Grand Parades and Electric Pageants, October 1 and 3" “South Omaha Union Stock Yards Live Btock Bx- change.”" The ropes which held the stream- ers in place were covered with paper of the Ak-Sar-Ben colors.
