Tha wur In the east i a mere skirmish.
While no ofT'.rlal annminrriufnt haa bren
inAde by the Northwestern to the effect
that It Intend to malie another cut In the
through praln t..riff from Nebraska point
to tha pant. It la understood that a rd mo
tion of 2 cents per hundred from th laat
published larilT tti'.l be announced within
tba next day or two.
If iuth a cjt ia announced !t will fJree
tbe Great Wmtirn to make anotner reduc
tion In tha proportional rates frnm Omaha
to the Mississippi Mver and Chicago. An
official i t the Burlington stated that In can
the Northwestern makes such a reduction
his line will have to meet t.
It la .the ge ier:il opinion of freight men
that President Stlrkney has fired his laat
hot If he meets the proposed thrbugh rates
of the Northwestern by a Ilka reduction In
tha proportionals enst. Another cut of 2
f cents by the Great Western would make
trie rates to the Mississippi river 2 cents
en wheat and 2 cents on corn. This, so It
Is stated, would be hauling the bustnera at
a loss. Even at preaent rates, railroad men
ay, here Is n. money In the business.
The reason given that the Northwestern
ran hold out longer In the war than the
Great Western la that on through ship
ments It ia coll-H-tlng Its local rates Into
Omaha, which In moat caaes amount to
enough to pay for hauling the grain
through to the Mississippi river, while the
Oreat Western has no such meana of get
ting even.
Rates Ftefore the War.
Before the rate war began the cost of
"hipping a car of wheat of 68.000 pounds to
the river from Omaha was ISO. 40. Under
the present rate it Is 53, a net loss-on each
omr of dtto. This app'ies to roads hauling
the-business only from Omaha. But to the
Northwestern and other lines the loss la
van greater, amounting to 133 per car on
through business.
A freight ofm-la! said: ,
"There la still a question as to whether
e Northwestern or the Great Western
will win out In the war. If the Union Pa.
rifle ard Rock Island will stay In the fight
with the Great Western that line can win
out If at the critical moment these two
lines desert tha Great Western It will have
to acknowledge defeat. It Is my opinion
that there is something behind this rate
war mora than appears on the surface. I
believe It to be an attempt on the part of
financiers to force the revenues of some
line, presumably the Northwestern, down to
a point where the :oa will affect the stock
of the company. It may be possible that
Ore Great Western Is a party to the trans
action, or (I is barely possible that the
Great Western Is the line the financiers are
after. If something of this nature was not
behind thia rate war It would not last two
days. It may be an effort on the part of
transcontinental linen to drive local .lines
ut of business by lowering their stock to
point where it can be absorbed by specu
lators Interested In the transcontinental
properties, probably Hill and Harriman."

SETTLtS VOID TAXES BY FRIENDLY SUIT
Suggests that All Cemaads for ltefaaa
of Taea Re Referred; to His
Departateat for lavestl-gatloa.
Assistant City Attorney Herdman, who
Is la charge of tne special tax litigation. In
his annual report defends the policy of set
tling special taxes out of court whenever
practicable and explains the basis upon
which thlit 1 done. In part he says:
I would suggest that the city council be
advised not to pass tiny ordinance, or tak
any action whatever, relating to public
Improvements at any special meeting of
the council.
True, if a proper call be Issued for such
special meeting and all the member of
the council be notirted of the object of said
meeting, any action taken thereat, within
uch call, would be valid: b it Inasmuch aa
no record haa been kept heretofore and
may not be kept In the future, of the notice
given tc members of tne council of uch
special meetings. It may rearlliy be fore
seen thnt it might he impossible in the far
future when such litigation arises to prove
such notic:e.
In the caae of Richardson against the
city. Judge Dickinson held that the power
to designate the material to be nsed In
the construction of permanent sidewalk
was lodged In the miycr and "City council
and that said power could not he dele
gated to the Board of Puhllc Work.
Thl case ha been appealed to the su
preme court. In the meantime. Dendlna a
decision. I would suggest that the mayor
and council bo advised that hereafter. In
ordering the construction of permanent
sidewalks by resolution, that they nam
and designate In said resolution the ma
terial to lie used in the construction of
same; that is. that they name and desig
nate but one kind of material therein.
Mettllac Special Tax.
Concerning the settling of special taxes,
Mr. Herdman says: ,
Heretofore, and prior to my Incumbency,
my predecessor. Mr. Adams. Inaugurated
the policy of compromising and settling by
friendly suit Void special taxes. I have
continued the same policy. During the
year ending December ft, 1903, settlement
were effected whereby property owners
paid to the city the sum of pi.tlll.15 In full
settlement of the void special taxes against
their properties. Of this amount JlAottt i
haa been paid on settlements affected by
myself subsequent to May J&, 19nl. Tha
basis upon which said settlements are
made may be stated a follows:
Where tho levy of the special taxes In
queatlon haa Dn neretoftire decreed void
by the court, or said levy appears to be
void on tha race of the record and no es
toppal as to said special taxes and assess
ments exist In favor of the city, ettle
ments are recommended and effected. Tho
terms Imposed In auch settlements, of ne
cessity, differ according to the circum
stances and conditions of each particular
case.
one of the three following general rules
applies thereto:
First In cases where the tax Is Jurladlc
tlonally void and no part of same can be
relevled. then the owner Is required to pay
to the city a sum approximating In amount
the fee he would be required to pay to an
attorney to cancel said taxes by suit.
The fee unually charged by attorneys in
tax litigation is 25 per cent of the total
amount of the tax cancelled, computing In
terest to tlv date of the decree. I Have
nxfd upon 25 per cent aa the amount to be
paid by tbe property awner to the city In
consideration of the cancellation of s ch
assessments against his property.
Xt JorladlctloaaJly Vol.
Second Where the tax La void, but on
ground Other than Jurisdictional, and the
same may be ra ev'ed In whole or 'In part,
then -the owner la required to pay to the
city a sum equal to the amount that might
be relevled sgalnst his property.
Third Where the special taxes are sub
ject to the provlHlons of the curative act
then the owner Is required to pay the city
a sum equal to the amount that might be
relevled against his property under Ilia pro
visions of said act. '
The policy of settling auch taxes ho been
produeve of much good to the city. It ha
reaulteu Jn tmnging into tne cny treasury
a large sum of money, thereby lessening
the burden of the taxpayers of the city and
has enabled owners to clear their property
of apparent liens without the delay and ex
pense incident to suits at law.
I would stiRgest that the mayor and
council be advised to direct the cltv
treasurer upon the payment of any taxes
under protest, to set aside the money no
received bv him until such time as the
rights of the city may be determined, and
that, if the person paying such taxes
under protest, demands a refund of same
that such demands be forwarded to this
department for Investigation, with In
struction to report as to tbe liability of
the city to refund such money. Then. If
It clearly appears that such taxes are void,
and the tax payer entitled to refund of
same, that such refund be made without
a. lit

REED ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE
Han Who Confetaed to Killing Woman Now
Hak?a a Defema.
PLEADS NOT GUILTY IN DISTRICT COURT
Marh Tim Required to Empanel Jary
to Try Alleged Slayer of Keeper
of a Webster Street
Hesort.
Neatly dressed In a dark suit, with close
cropped hair and mustache, but with a
face of strikingly ashen pallor and eye
that burned with noticeable brilliancy,
James J. Reed stood up in Judge Day a
session of the criminal court yesterday
and pleaded not guilty to the charge of
murdering a woman named Cora Ctiswell
at 14i3 Webster street on the evening of
September 20 laat. After his arraignment
Reed dropped Into the chair that waa as
signed him and rested his chin In a hind
that shook with nervousness and from that
time during the tedious process of em
paneling the Jury which la to try him for
his life bo never stirred, but his eyes roved
restlessly from counsel to jurors aa the
questions were put to the latter whU:h
seem, so Inconsequential, but which are in
reality so important.
Judge C. R. Scott appeared as counsel
for the defendant, while the state's case 1
being conducted by County Attorney Eng
lish. f
The crime with which Reed Is charged
Is the murder of a dissolute woman who
was known In this town by the name of
Ulennie Hynes. Reed became infatuated
with her, so he said In an Interview at
the time of the shooting, because, she bore
a strong resemblance to hia wife, who had
died.
Say It Waa Planned.
The deed was committed In a fit of
jealous frenzy on Reed's part and had, ac
cording to his own story at that time,
been premeditated for weeks. The woman
received men at her room on Webster
street and on several occasions Reed found
them there. This always made him angry
and there were stormy scene between him
and the woman, who, he claimed, had
r-peatedly promised to marry him. On
the occasion of the visit when the crime
Is alleged to have taken place. Reed found
two men wtih the object of his affections
and waited In an adjoining room until
they left the premise. Then the woman
cam to him and asked for money to buy
beer. He refused to give her any and
angry wrds passed between them. With
out further ceremony he said then that
he pulled a live-shot thirty-eight caliber
revolver from his pocket and put four bul
let Into her body, from the effects of
which sho died the next evening. Other
occupants of the house heard the shots
and surmising that murder wa being done.
summoned the police. When they arrived
Reed was in the act of trying to reload
his pistol, the cylinder of which had fallen
out. with the intention of killing himself.
At the police station after the woman'
death he had no hesitation In confessing
that he fired the fatal shota and said all
he aBked was .that he be hung with aa
little delay aa possible.
The Jury in hi caae I being selected
with great care by counsel on both aides.

CHANGE Of CLIMATE
Was What the Doctors Order
ed Mr. Fred Menkes If He
Wanted to Live.
HOW HE F00E0 THE PHYSICIANS
Newtonvllle. N. T. Mr. Fred Henkes, the
popular Florist and rarrtener of inia vil
lage, who waa suffering from a severe it
tack of Kidney trouble, recently astonlanad
Id many friends by the wonderful recov
ery he made. Hi ocmiiuon waa ao Dad that
hla physicians told him he must move to
a milder climate. Ha did not want to die.
neither did be want to dispose of hi prop,
erty at a sacrifice. Luckily a friend not
hing tils run-down condition, told lum about
1 11 n wunuvri ui cum iti.i u... uii ,uuv
by Cramer Kidney and Liver Cure, and
so strong waa this friend' endorsement,
that h decided to at leaat make a trial
of it.
Ha aays: "For several years I suffered
from a form of kidney trouble which grew
worse and worse. My back ached inces
santly, mv fond seemed to supply no nour
ishment or strength. My doctors advise 1
me that the only way I could hop to
get well, was by moving to a milder cli
mate. This meant the sacrifice of all my
property and I naturally disliked to do
thi. Fortunately a friend knowing of ray
condition, acked me to try Cramer' Kidney
and Liver Cure, made by the Cramer llwi
lcal Co. of Albany. H Insisted that tin
remedy wa prepared from the finest qual
ity of medicinal herbs, waa vegetable, and
that he personally knew of more than
forty persons who had used It with greit
benefit. Hla persistence finally won me
over and I agreed to make a trial. After
the end of tho first bottle, my backache
ceased and my atrength began to return.
After si, bottle. I wa entirely cured,
and while it 1 naurly eight month alnce
I finished the last bottle. I have nut had
the alightet return of the trouble. I do
from twelve to fifteen flour a day and
thrive under it. If anyone want tu know
what Cramer Liver and Kidney Cur
will do for sil k people. Just send them to
me. I know from experience."
