Board of Equalization Guts Down the As

CORPORATIONS GViN URGE FAVORS
Wilier 1Vork Cut from 800,000 lo 820-
OOO , nnd Clraud Hotel from 80OOO ! to
S1O,000 John i\uni : Wins Ills
hide walk Kick.
The Hoard of Equalization met last even'
Ing and struggled manfully for the firs I
tlmo with some of the problems that con'
fronted It at the tall end of Its existence.
The water works assessment was broughl
up and Manager E. W. Hart asked thai
the assessment be put back to $29,750 In
stead of $50,000 , the figure to which It was
raised by the board. He. was careful tc
make no promises , but said that he wouH
recommend to the company that It shouK
not hold the city to a strict compliant
with the terms of the charter ordinance
but allow flre hydrants to bo put in at i
distance of SOO feet from one another , thui
cutting down the city's expenses.
Councilman Ilarstow favored granting thi
request , saying that the city was In sucl
shape that any concessions that might bi
secured from the company would help tin
city out of part of Its present troubles. Thi
motion was carried unanimously.
Lucius Wells presented the request of thi
Grand Hotel company for a reduction o
assessment on the hotel from $20,000 , when
It was put by the assessor. He detailed thi
trials and tribulations of the company li
getting the establishment opened , and sale
that the company was not getting a dollai
out of the property this year , and did no
expect to for a year or two. Ho showei
the bad results that would come to the clt ;
In case the hotel had to be closed , am
thought patriotism should lead the councl
to grant his request.
Greenshlelds moved that the assessmen
be reduced to $15,000 , and Drown amende *
It by substituting $10,000. Rlsuton ob
Jccted.
"It's an outrage upon the taxpayers of th
city , " said he , "to make the poor pay thai
taxes and let the rich go. It's all folly t
say that Council DlufTs couldn't be a clt ;
without the Grand hotel. Why , I've eeei
better times here before the Grand hole
was thought of than there arc now. "
Nevertheless , the assessment was reduce
to $10,000 , and seven councllmcn voted to
the cut.
Mrs. Amy's assessment was reduced fror
$1,000 to $500.
A motion was made to reduce the assess
ment of the Grand Detour Plow compan
from $2,000 to $1,000. Mayor Cleaver thougli
It was an outrage for the city to knock o :
$21,000 from the assessment of a big corpora
tlon like the water works company and the
refuse to do likewise with the smaller cor
corns. The cut was made , Brewlck on
Brown voting no.
The assessment of H. L. Smith & Co. wa
reduced from $500 to $300. The board ac
Journed and reconvened as the city council.
The taxes of Eliza 11. Wiley , a soldier' '
widow , were remitted.
The request of Aultman , Miller & Co. fo
a remission of taxes was tabled.
The petition of Lincoln avenue residents t
bo allowed to lay a five-foot sidewalk up t
the property line sa as to save the shad
trees was granted.
The petition for the graJIng of Fifteen !
avenue from the cast line of Falrmount ai
dltlon to Falrmount avenue was referred t
the committee on streets and alleys.
P. J. Day registered a vigorous klc
against the building of sidewalks , aa prc
posed In the ordinance recently passed. Ilei
Idents of Aveuno G did' ' the same thing. Dot
kicks were placed on file.
The question of building1 a sidewalk c
Avenue B from Twenty-second to Twent ;
eight street was referred to the commute
on streets and alleys.
Counclhnan Shubcrt said ho had conferre
with T. J. Evans , who was responsible fi
most the kicking that was being done over ti
sHcwalk ordinance , and he would be satlsflc
If Twenty-ninth street should be cut out. I )
recommcndeJi that this be done , and tl
recommendation was concurred In.
The question of requiring L. II. Mossier 1
lay a new sidewalk In front of his Fourt

Lot \Vui Too Nnrrovr.
In the superior court yesterday the case
John J. Myrtue against U. H. White , Invol
Ing a lot In Turley's glen , was on trl
Myrtue claims that he bought a lot thirl
eight feet In width from \Vlilte , but when
came to measure It found It was or
twenty-six feet wide. He applied to Wli
for redress , and White fixed matters up
best ho could by having the street push
over a few feet. In this way he brought t
lot up to within two or three feet of wl ;
he fcuppoced It was when he sold It. E
Myrtue linn tired ot his bargain , and Is ni
suing White to have the tnle set aside ate
: s to get his money back1. The trial was t
completed. White clalmes the difficulty w
due to the mistake on the part ot the eng

the claim was returned In favor of the pla

was concerned. At that time the corona
had a perfectly good bond filed , and II i
decision ot the supreme court had been

ten forthcoming. But since the case has
been awaiting Its second trial the Insurance
company has given tip the ghost , Its liabilities
being something like $300,000 In excess of
Us assets , and Jones' chances for getting any
Insurance money seem to have gone glimmer-
Ing. The case was to have been tried yester
day In the district court , but an Indefinite

sixth street and north ot Fifth avenue. I
now looks as though there was no law what
ever regulating this mattjr. There used t
be a law ot some kind , but no one about th
city building seems to know what It wai
and a decided cloud was cast over Its valldlt
by a recent action of the city council. At al
events , Judge McGee , after hearing the evl
dence yesterday morning , and In spite of th
fact that it was clearly shown that the tw
boys had herded their cattle at the corner c
Sixteenth avenue and Thirteenth strcel
Inside the district In which herding was snr.
posed to be proscribed , discharged both th
defendants. Unless a new ordinance is passe
this settles for good the matter about whlc
there have been so many complaints of late
and settles It In favor ot the herders.

DOCTOR MORRELL MACKENZIE
SAID CATARRH WAS THE AMERICAN NATIONAL DISEASE
It Breaks the Health nnd Wenkona the Conatltutiiou What Is Said of It bj
Eminent Specialists Striking Evidence Today that Proves the
Superiority of the Oopolnnd & Shopnrd Syatom.
On the occasion of his last visit to America
the Into Sir Morrcll Mnckcnzle wns asked
hta opinion of the climate of America nnd
Its action on diseases of the throat nnd
lungs. Ho replied :
"In your American climate cntarrh Is
unquestionably the cause of more deaths
than any other dlRentte. At Ilrst It Is ,
as a rule , a little thlup , merely a cold In
the head. Dut In a cllmntc like this one
cold Is not entirely cured before another
follows. A succession of colds conotltute
chronic cntarrh. A stronR and healthy
constitution will suffer only Inconvenience
from cntarrh , but all othciR run a great
risk of what mny follow. The health la
broke p , the constitution weakened and ,
although the catarrh Itself may not be
the actual cause of death , still , Indirectly ,
by so weakening the system that It Is un-
nble resist the attack of another disease ,
It Is. "
Cnrl Seller. M. D. , of Philadelphia , nn-
other famous nose 'and throat specialist ,
cstlmntes thnt 80 per cent of the people
of America are ntlllcted with catarrh.
David Inglls , SI. D. , professor of mental
and nervous diseases , Detroit Collece of
Medicine , says : "It has seemed to me that
the profession Is only beginning to wake
up to the widespread relation of Intranasal
disorders to functional disturbances of thu
nervous system. I have had reason to at
tribute to nasal trouble not only asthmatic
couRhs , various gastric disturbances , but
melancholia , cholera and epilepsy. "

Mr. Charles Kc sler , 1707 L'avenworth St.
"Two years and a hnlf ORO 1 took a cuur (
of treatment with Drs. Copelaml & Shepard
for cntarrhnl disease. The malady wai
plow In I's development nnd I suffered sev
eral years before I woke up to the fact thai
It was a serious matter.
"Tho usual head symptoms were present
lirltntlon of the nose with sere and ran
throat , requtilni ! constant effort to cloni
these parts. My nose was nearly closed ,
making natural breathing IniiHisslblc. A
dryness nnd parching of the mouth and
throat was constant , especially at night ,
preventing sleep and rest. As might bi
expected my whole system seemed tired oul
nnd depressed and many symptoms told m
that I was tainted all through with th <
disease.
"After being In this state for about a yeat
I began to lose my hearing nnd experienced
n ringing sound In the enrs. The dcnfnes :
became serious enough to Interfere with
my business until I placed myself under
treatment. The results were all that I
could desire , being In fuel a substantial
cure of my whole cnse. After a Inpso of
nearly three years since undergoing treat-
mtnt my condition wan ants the , statement
that I am cured to stay cured. I cannot
do less than to direct nil needing the scr.
