Sees II Very HeIght Future .
When questioned regarding business revival !
Isaac lIarrlf' , president or the Tacoma Match

have been traveling east west and south dur-
Ing the 11ast six month : and during that
time I have been unable to form any other
estimate or the country at large than that
there Is a revival In business. You see It Is
this war : TI'o years of lethargy leads to
years of pro perlty. The people lost faith
and began to live upon what they had saTed , to
wear out their clothes and their Improvements - '
ments began to decay . As a result , 'n"ow they
arc obliged to replace the things worn out
and are employIng men and women In this
work. The result or all this Is a dawn or an
era of prosperity , which promises to bo
permanent The American people are not all
excitable nB the EuropealU ! They may at
times go to extremes but In a short time
their good sense prevails and they begin
living In their same old manner
"The wholesale housts are picking up.
New buildings are being ereclM and were It
not for the fact that agriculturists had a
bad year there Is' no doubt but that this
would have been one of the greatest years

In value , and there Is no such cry of hard
times as there Is In the west where prop-
ertlee fluctuate according to the whims of

Dy reason of the two Slllts which
were filed In the district court
yesterday the relations hitherto exist-
Ing l between thc Northwestern mec-
rio t Light and I'ower company , the Omaha
Illuminating company and the New Omaha
Thomson-Houston Electric Light company are
to be thoroughly aired
One suit Is against the Omaha Illuminating
company for 45,5W and the other agaln
the t 'rhom on-l1ouston company for $10,000 ,
the plaintiffs In each beIng the Northwestern
Electric Light allli I'ower company.
These are ' the parties named as plaintiff
and defendants In the suit , but It Is under-
stood that the fight will be squarely between
the Clarles of title city and the offIcers of
the present electric light company. The lF3uo
In the cases , stated briefly , will he a fight
for damages over the absorption of three
electric light companies which had a foothold
In Omaha a nllmb of years ago and whIch
became merged Into tile present New Omaha
Thomson-Houston Electric LIght company.
As detalle In the suit , for a number 'of
years the Omaha Illuminating company was
furnishing the city and residents with electric
light. l It was unable 10 obtain a charter
and therefore It operated under a charter
granted the Northwestern Electric Light anti
Power compan The company at first obtained -
tained Its power from tHe Woodman LlnseeJ
Oil works building ( : : , but In course of time Its
mAchinery \ \ as removed to the building of
thl ) Thon1Fon-1I0u9ton company , from whence
Its i power was obtained
From this time on It Is charged that officers
or the company and others or the Thom ' ) n-
Houston company conspired to absorb boil
that company and the Northwestern Electric
LIght company and In course of time suc-
ceeded. The suit against the Omaha IIIulrfl-
natlng company Is therefore to recover for
failure to fulllll the contract under the
charter granted by the Northwestern ElectrIc
LIght and Power company and for conversion
or property owned by both companies. The
suit against the Thomson-Houston Electric \
Light company Is to recover consequential
damages , It being alleged that It conspired
with certain olllcers or the other companies
to divert the customers or the Omaha illuminating -
nating company to itself , and succeeded. The ! '
question of the conversion or thl' property
of the latter company also enters Into the
suit.
suit.The
The plaintiffs allege ( : : that the suIts are expected -
pected to b amicably settled and therefore r
are not willing to speak about them. Pret'L- '
dent Wiley of the New Omaha Thomson- '
HouDon : ElectrIc Light company says , however -
ever , that ro far as his company Is concerned
the suits wIll \ be
fought to a finish. He 'aYS :
that his ! company In course of time did succeed -
ceed In obtaining ) the majority 01 the customers -
tomers or the Omah a illuminating company ,
but that It got them from the fact that It
furnished better light and not through any :

are thirteen who are members or the ' so-

the board to cut the road through to Fort
Crook thl" % winter and before doing so to
have a culvert put In ollposlt ) South
Omaha , 200 feet In length and ] at a point
on the road at where It Is crossed by the
creek. Ho said that the work would furnish
employment for the unemplond durIng the
winter.
Chairman \\1I1Ial1l11 explain that the
board intended to do nothIng on the rood to
the Douglas cOllllty I1ne. This was In accordance -
corhnce with n resolution passed last win-
ter , which was before the Sarp county
commissIoners , but upon which they had
taken no action. Williams mid that Douglas
county was willing to grade the road as soon
as Sarpy county agreed to do Its share of
the work.
This did not satisfy I1reen and he said
that at the meeting 01 the board next Saturday -
day there would be a delegation of South
Omaha citizens pruent to address the board
upon the subject. ThIs brnllJ'ht ' Stenberg to
hits ! feet with tia statellJellt that he did not
think the board wanted to have another
public meeting on the matter : , because It
had decIded upon Its attitude Other memo
bel's ' or the board were of time same opinion ,
and no action was taken on thc matter , but
Mr , Drem said that the South Omaha Iele-
gatlon woulll be present , nevertheless.
In response to a letter from County Treas-
urer-elect Irelmrtd , hIs bond was fixed at
$500,000 by the board. Ir < y'll bond Is iOO-

N11\\ ' YORK , Nov. 16.-Many life Insur-
ance company officials from dlllerent states
were at the Fifth .Avenue hotel to dls-
cuss the advisabIlity of takIng measures to
exclude Prussian Insurance companies from
doing business In this country. This step Is
taken as a result or the action of the German -
man government , which about a year ago
notified the New York Life and tlu.- Equitable
and the Mutual Insurance companies that It
had changed Its requirements for foreign
companle.s. The EquItable soon after withdrew -
drew from Germany. The action begun by
the American companies today was precipItated -
tated by an application made about three
weeks ago by the lIambl\rg- ladgeburg company -
party asking Insurance Superintendent Pcrae
for permission to do business In this state.
There are about six German fire Insurance
companies doing bllslness In thIs city.
After ito meeting , which was an Informal
one , Stuart Drown made a statement that
an understanding had been arrived at that
since the American companies had been
forced to withdraw from Prussia , they would
make every effort by asking legislation ] and
otherwise , to see to It that Pruss Ian companies -
panies were granted no privileges here. In
some states , he said , the autllorltles' had
power to refuse to rellcense the companies.
The fight was to be made , he said , only on'
concerns having their beads In the kingdom
or Prussia , as that power and not the entire
German government , had discriminated
against the American institutions

The Board of Equalization on the general
tax at'3essment was In session yesterday.
Chairman Kennanl says ! that an effort will
be made to finish It as rapidly as possIble and
the board will probably finish Its work In
about ten days frolD't1le date or beginning
There are comparatively very few protests
being receIved. The valuation had been reduced -
duced nearly $1,500000. ; So many property
owners have had theIr ! assessments reduced
that there Is more than ! . a usual tendency to
refrain from protellts..The assessment rolls
present the usual inconsistent features and
are severely criticisM , by some or the Loard.
One member of the council said this morning
that he had noticed one case In which a local
busness : house had turned In the value of Its
stock at. $10,000. To his posItive knowledge
the seine stock was Insured for $250,000 under
the 80 per cent clause , thus Indicating that Its
actual value was not1lelS titan $310,000. The
work or considering pateats has been relegated
to a special comrolltee-Kcnnard , Lemly
