TVo weeks from next Tuesday is the
dato set for the beginning of the annual
protest from taxpayers of Douglas county
ugalnst the work of the assessors. On
June 11 the county commissioners will con
vene as n board of equalization and every
day thereafter until June 27, barring Sun
days only, they will listen to the com
plaints of citizens who come within the
Jurisdiction of the lax assessors.
The twenty-six Inquisitive gentlemen who
place values on property In Douglas county
fir purposes of taxation have been nt the
task since April 1 and they are required
to complete their work and make tholr
returns by June 1. To follow Instruc
tions and to conform with public policy the
DSBesbors are expected to assess every
thing In sight at onr-slxth of Its nctual
value and to make the nstcsiment as
nearly cqultabla as possible.
When It Is up to the county commis
sioners to equalize tho assessment, how
ever, thero Isn't the slightest evidence of
hesitancy on tho part of the taxpayers to
find fault with the work of tho assessors.
Tho man whose property Is Insured for
$73,000 and assessed at $10,000 declares his
readiness to sell everything he possesses In
tho world for 130,000 and "kicks" for n
P0 per cent reduction In his assessment.
After ho has talked himself almost black
In the face he offers to compromise on
tho basis of a 10 per cent reduction and
when this offer Is rejected, as It Is In nlno
cases out of ten, he goes ahead with his
bnslnesH and payH the tax ho was at first
eel down to pay.
Sometimes the board of equalization
turns the tables on a. complaining public
liy raising Instead of reducing tho valua
tions returned by the assessors. Last year
the board added about $500,000 to the total
of assessments as made by the assessors.
Among the properties raised In valuation
by tho board of equalization were the
smelting works, tho wntcr works, the
electric and gas light plants, the street
railway and tho Council IllutTs bridge Sev
eral Jobbers also had their assessments
slightly olovatcd.
The total o last year's assessment was
921,000,000 In round numbers and the county
commissioners expect an Increase of about
$1,000,000 this year. Tho Increase Is ex
pected to como from Improvements mado
within tlio last year.
made provision, In case that suitable hotel
accommodations cannot be obtained, for
sidetracking sixty Milwaukee sleepers on
the lake front, In a very cool and central
location, and will provide dining cars If
they nro desired. It would not be at all
surprising If a special train of twelve to
sixteen sleeping cars pulled Into Milwaukee
on tho morning of July 23 with the Omaha
and Council Muffs lodges nnd their friends.

The forty-fourth nunual communication of
the grand lodge of the Ancient Free and
Accoptcd Masons of the state of Nebraska
will be hold In Free Masons' hull, Omaha,
beginning at 4 o'clock p. m., Wednesday,
June S. "Tho session of the grund lodgo
promises to bo Interesting from the num
bers which will attend and the Importance
of some of the subjects to be discussed.
Trobably tho most Interesting matter will
be the question raised snmo time ago by
the action of tho grand lodgo of tho state
of Washington In recognizing as regular
the negro Masons of the country. Several
grand lodges have refused to recognize the
Washington grand lodgo since its recogni
tion of tho negroes and the matter has
ucen brought to the attention of every grand
jurisdiction in the United States. It wna
considered quite exhaustively at the last
session of the Nebraska grund lodge, but
no doclslvo action was taken, It being passed 1
over In hope that It would bo climinntod
from Masonic consideration beforo tho pre.i-
ent time. As It is still a live question It is .
probable that some conclusion will be
reached at this meeting.
The grand master has nppolnted tho fal
lowing committees for tho coming session

In marked contrast to the organization
which furnished amusement to the patrons
of Boyd's theater during the last summer
season, tho Ferris Stock company, which
mado Its debut Sunday night, opening the
summer season of 1&01, numbers among
Its members actors and actreses of real
merit and ability. Truly Manager Bear
has kept his promise to glvo Omaha n
stock company this year that Is worthy of
patronage and tho theater wos crowded al
most to its utmost capacity by lovers of
popular-prlrod attractions, anxious to sit
In Judgment of the now company ot Its
first appearance.
There were doubtless few who wero dis
appointed, for when one takes Into consid
eration the nominal prices of admission
charged tho performance wob really an ex
cellent one and It is not In the least ex
aggerating tho situation to say that much
poorer performances' hatr Been given In
this theater by more pretentious com pa
nles who demanded advanced prices for
their attraction.
When one boars In mind trie reduced
price of ndmisslon demanded by the man
agement for this attraction It Is manifestly
unfair to go Into critical detail of the
merits of either the performance or com
pany, although were the writer Inclined to
do so neither would, suffer In this case.
It would have been hard to select a
moro appropriate pluy ror tho opening
week than Edward Milton Boyle's
"Friends" and while It has been played In
Omaha a number of times beforo. yet It
Is none tho Icbs welcome, slnco one never
tires of seeing It, no matter how often, so
long ns It Is given good Interpretation.
Dick Ferris as Jack Paden made an In
stantaneous hit with his. audience and he
promises to become a'decldod favorite dur
ing his stay here. He is an actor ot ability
and one who could doubtless be depended
upon to glvo nny part careful nnd Intelli
gent Interpretation.
Grace Hoyward, the leading womnn, Is
also a capable actress. And, while it would
bo decidedly dltllcult for any actress to fill
the position left vacant In tho good regard
of tho stock company admirers by the re
moval from the city of Mrs. Wilson Enos
nnd Jane Kennark, who were bo popular
with the Woodward company, yet Miss
Hayward gives promlso of making a popu
lar bid for the place with chances in her
favor for success.
Kitty DeLorme ns Jennie Mcrrywcnther
offered a well-drawn character study.
Daniel McClure, a rather striking and hnnd-some-looklng
nctor, gave n forceful Inter
pretation of the part of Adrian KorJI. Frcl
crlck WntBon was satisfactory as Hans
Otlo. Will W. Crlraans succeeded In gain
ing tho hatred of the audience for his pains
In to well portraying the part of Harold
Hunting, the villain. The John Paden, Sr.,
of William V. Mong, Is a meritorious piece
of work and stamps him as an actor of
ability.
Tho costumes and scenery are much more
elaborate than nro usually treed by popular-priced
stock companies.
tT'omla" will continue ns tho bill until
'a r lay night, when "Carmen" will be
nu. on for tho remainder of the week.

Juno S to 11.
1401-1403 Farnam street:
The truth of the old adage, "Uneasy lies
the head that wears tho crown," Is borne
home to tho local society queens with re
uewed force every few days. First they are
held up by the agent of a bogus . photo
graph studio, then by a smart young man
who sells them dress goods for ten times
what they could have been bought for nt
nny ono of tho Omnhn department stores,
and now comes n new grief: They aro com
pelled to do their own housework becnuso
their erstwhile domestics are too prosper
ous to remain longer "In service."
Thero has been n marked exodus of
servants from Omaha during tho last two
months. Local representatives of steam
ship lines say they have slnco the first ot
tho year sold hundreds of tickets to young
women of the Swedish, German and Irish
nationalities, entitling them to return to
their natlvo land, nnd few of them wero
round-trip tickets. Most ot tho young
women, having saved a neat competence
from tholr wages, wished to return to the
scenes of their birth, and stay thero at
least for a year or two. This is generally
accepted ns a sign of good times nnd n har
binger of the emancipation of the servant
girl.
While this Is a consummation devoutly to
be wlshod from the standpoint of the do
mestic, It Is viewed with alarm by many
who have large, pretentious household es
tablishments to maintain nnd wboso retl
nuo of servants Is, or was, correspond
ingly extensive. Among theso aro many
women prominont in social life, tho wives
of bankers and merchant princes, the bul
warks nf Omaha society nnd tho custodians
ot local culture.
From llrotvnliiK to Cook Hook.
Such of theso as are affected by tho ex
odus have left off reading Emerson and
Browning and havo gono to studying tho
White House cook book.
"Yes, I -am doing my own work today,"
said ono of tho "victims" when called upon
yesterday. "But It will only bo for n day
or two. I have two or threo servants In
sight, nnd would have had ono of them nt
work today only for misunderstanding
about the recommendations. It seems sho
bad neglected to get what she called her
'character' from her last mistress, and so
I sent her back, but sho'll be here tomor
row morning, I'm sure.
"How do I like It? Oh, flrstrote. You'll
havo to excuse ray appearance. I was Just
fixing a little Balad In tho kitchen."
Sho Btolo a glanco at herself In tho hall
mirror and blushed as sho detected a
smudge of soot on ono car and n dab ot
flour near tho corner ot her mouth.
"Oh, no! Of course I don't try to get nil
of our meals," sho resumed. "Mr Blank
takes his breakfast downtown, also his
luncheon, nnd this Is my first nttcrapt at
n dinner. You seo wo got up so late that "
She smoothed down her sleeves, whoso

"What will I do If I can't get any serv
ants.' Well, really, 1 hardly think It will
bo as bad as that. But If It Is, why then
wo may do as that neighborhood does In a
suburb of Chicago Englewood, I believe It
Is and organize n co-operative community.
I understand that Is working flrstrato.
Each household In the combine produces
ono dish, onotigh (or ench ot the other
households, und they exchange. And then
they appoint committees to do the other
household work, tho membership of tho
committees changing from week to week,
and In that way they get satisfactory re
sults with very little drudgery and no ex
pensebesides doing away with all the
worry Incidental to servants.
"Wo havo talked this over at the club,
and all of us thought It wns nn excellent
idea, but, of course. It won't be put Into
prnctlce unless the worst comes to the
worst."
Then she excused herself and returned
to the kitchen, and a moment later there
was a nolso that sounded very much like
the pounding of n beefsteak.

performance that enlists everybody's ad

but it Is among the women and children
that their greatest successes urc achieved.
Both tho women and little ones simply fall
In love with tho handsome dumb per

Ono of tho most unique nnd Interesting
of the circus features Is tho act of tho
cats and monkeys. They have been taught
to perform In a manner that almost seems
miraculous.
Besides tho circus another big fenturo
of the dolly offerings nt tho popular park

furnish a treat to tho music-lover Is tho

Tho merry-go-round, bowling alleys nnd
tho numerous other cntertnlnlng fentures
