"Tho flRitrca at which tho Ileal Estate ex

Councilman Klmmnn. "in my opinion tho
assessments of tho companies should be

figures of tho real cstato men accepted by

members of tho council can find no valid
pxcue.o for allowing tho assessments of tho

Two hoiirn of discussion yosterdny ro
(lilted In tho cancellation of $30,000 assessed
Bgnlnflt thrco sugar1 rcQncrlcs for sugar said
to havo been In storage In Omaha nt tho
time assessments for 1902 were lovlcd last
November.
Tho thrco sugar companies assessed were
tho American Sugar Refining company, tho
Standard licet Sugar company nnd tho
American licet Sugar company, tho assessed
valuation of tho sugar each had In Omaha
having been fixed at JIO.OOO. Tax Com
missioner William Fleming nnd his deputies
estimated that tho companies should bo ns
osHcd on greater nmountn than this, but
tho quantity of sugar varied so at different
tlmeH of tho yuar that tho Hoard of Review
finally ngreed to tax each of tho companies
on only $10,000.
Mtrl- for DlnlrlliiKlon.
Attorney" for tho refineries appeared bo-
foro tho Hoard of Equalization nnd stated
mui im inir miKiir uiuy navo in umana it
merely sent liiro for distribution ami that
It remains horo but .n short time and Is
then shipped to portions who havo con
tracted for it before it wan manufactured.
They Instated that tho sugar Is In trnnslt
nnd that tho city of Omaha has no right
to taxdt.
City Attornoy W. J. Connell stated that
tho product of tho reflnorlcs which Is con
Signed to Omaha becomes taxablo In this
city na soon as It Is loaded In tho cars and
thu manufacturers aro given a bill of
lading. Councilman Hascall expressed tho
opinion that only goods In trnnslt In Ne
braska and billed to Omaha aro assessablo
In this city. . Ho urged that everything
should bn done to make, Omnha n distribut
ing point nnd Insisted Mint any attempt
to tnx goods In transit will causo manu
facturers to seek Homo other city for a
center of distribution. '
CoiiimliiNlniier Vlrmlnw KxpluliiK,
Tux Commissioner Fleming. explained that
ho nnd his deputies were only attempting
to asscso tho rellncrlcs upon sugar which Is
actually consumed In Omnha, and had no
thought of making manufacturers pay for
pll sugar which Is distributed through
Omaha agents.
Councilman Hnscnll moved that tho two
fccot sugar companies which control tho out
put of tho rcflncrlcs nt Norfolk. Ames nnd
Grand Island bo exempted from taxation.
Ills motion was adopted without a dissent
ing voto. Mr. Iloscall thou moved that tho
American Sugnr. Refining company bo ex
empted from taxation. Objections wcro of
fered to tills motion, nnd an attempt was
nindo to fix tho company's assessment at
5,000. This was defeated, however, and
tho tax commissioner's assessment was
trlckon from the books by n vote of G to 2.
Councllmon Loheck and Zlmman voted to
Bustnln tho action of Tnx Commissioner
Fleming. Tho members of tho board who
opposed tho assessment were 'Hascall.

to order Mr. Hascall moved that tho pres
cntntlon of tho protest bo limited to on
and one-halt hour, the reply of the coW
poratlons to bo limited to the same llmo.
V. A. Nash was the first to spontc.on'thB
proposed change In assessments'. On behalf
of tho electric light company he said that
ho had filed a sworn statcnlcnt of the value
of the plant In Omaha, that the valuation as
presented by tho tax commissioner had
been changed by tho Hoard of Review and
that at the present tlmo there wan about
$7,000 difference in tho valuation as fixed
by the tax commissioner and that fixed bv
tho Board of Review. "Wo, 'will not quib
ble," ho said. "If the city council desires
to Increase our assessment $7,500 wo will
accept tho Increase without a protest. Tho
people I represent own property to tho
value of $5,000,000 In Omaha and nro at
anxious to havo Just assessments as anyone
else."
Mr. Nash was followed by Mr Weed of
tho Real Kotntc exchange, who presented
the protest of that body.

I'lays may como and plays moy go, but

THEY PROPOSE TO MAKE ACETYLENE GAS

l.lttlfi Alinut Proposition, tint .No
tice of Apiillcnllon Is Pub

A few weeks ago Mayor Kelly received a
communication from certain parties In Lin
coln enclosing an ordinance which had been
drafted, with tho mandate that tho council
should "please pass tho samo nnd oblige,
etc." Mayor Kelly Informed these parties
that there wan a necessary routlno that had
to bo first gono through with beforo a fran
chlso could ordinarily be secured from tho
city and that this would havo to be done
beforo tho city could give them tho right
to do bustnetis here.
Tho franchlso wnntcd wns for tho manu
facture of acetylene gas in South Omaha.
Tho proposed franchise had n royalty clause
In It based on tho gross receipts of the com
pany. A local weekly paper will today publish
tho notice of tho Intention of theso people
to apply for a franchlso. No answer was
ever mado to Mayor Kelly's communication,
but tho parties probably decided to tako
tho mattor in their own hands and push It
through as It stood. An interview with
Mayor Kelly, Councilman Adklna and City
Attorney Lambert last evening revealed tho
fact that nono of theso gentlemen knew
anything of tho intention of tho'gns pcoplo
to ask for a franchise, other than the com
munication which Mayor Kelly had rccolvcd
and nil seemed surprised at tho news of the
notlco by publication, as provided by tho
charter.
Tho now company Is asking tho right to
lay plpo In tho city and to manufacture gas
for local consumption. Tho royalty pro
vided for Is G cents on each 1,000 cubic foot
of gas nold. It also provides a maximum
prico of $1.25 per 1,000 cubic feet, whllo all
of the gas furnished to tho city Is to be
sold for 70 cents.
Tho company proposes to furnish to tho
city arc gas lamps to tako the placo of elec
tric arcs, which aro now on tho city streets
and which they claim will bo far brighter
than those now furnished, at a lower cost
to tho town.
Tho parties making tho proposition give
their names as Phillip C. Windum, S. C.
Stahl and William Davis. Nono of them Is

I feel called upon to give you this unsolicited acknowledgement of tho
wonderful curativo valuo of Lydla E.'Plnkliam'H Vegetnblo Com
pound. For eight long years I had female trouble,, falling of tho womb
and other complications. During that timo I was moro or less of an
invalid and not much good for anything. Four years ago I noticed a
book in tho hall telling of tho cures you could perform. I read it and
became interested, I bought a bottlo of Lyd la ,13. Pinkham's Vegetnblo
Compound and was holped, and decided to uso it for a year, but Bovcn
monttiB sufficed to euro mo, and ninco that timo I havo simply had per
fect health. Thanks, dear Mrs. Pinkham again, health such ds I now
enjoy is worth all that and more." Mits. Jennie O'Donnbli,, 278 East

of nil hesitating women. After rending such a letter, if any

fault and site deserves to nuffer ; for tho medicine that qured Mm
O'Donnell and n hundred thousand others will surely euro her.
