The city will taKe treasures to prevent the sale of property for less than a fair proportion of its value at the tax, sales under the scavenger law, : beginning No vember 16.

Saturday afternoon Mayor Moores called the councllmen together for a short con ference with City Attorney Wright. It was decided to adopt a resolution authoris ing the appointment of an Individual to be present at the sales, and in case the bid ding did not go above a certain percentage, of the valuation, to bid In the property for the city. The law provides that this course may be followed. The percentage of value is to be determined by the coun cil. It probably will range from DO to 76 per cent, according to the expressions at the conference, and a scale may bo fixed making the proportion loss on lots of small value. Tax Commissioner Fleming has been directed to prepare a list of all prop erty to be sold, giving the 1904 assessment valuation on each piece, dt property. This will bo used as a basis from which to calculate.

Like Miss Parlotta, they are attractive and sing several songs in capital fashloii. The com edy In the turn, also, is good. Miss Par lotto, wears a stunning costume and hat. Joan Haden's "Cycle of Love" is worth all that has been said about It. and then some, Mlso Haden herself wears five beautiful gowns and sings, while a girl with a re markably attractive face and form and a golden-haired little "Cupid'' pose in repre. sentatlons of famous paintings symbolic of the grand passion.. The whole scheme is well executed, with delicate settings and splendid lighting effects. The pictures With the living models are perhaps the prettiest of the kind ever seen In Omaha.

It was originally written by Hal Reid, whose name Is now kept off the bills for some reason, and had William McKlnley Involved in tho cast. The late president, however, has been cut out and a mere governor of Arkansas suffices to grant his pardon. The play has many critical situations worked out In un expected ways and keeps the audience guess ing all the time. The cast Is strong and works In a live, ablebodled, healthy man ner the treatment melodramas should al- ways have by right. The scene Is laid In that part of the country where the illicit making of whisky Is esteemed no sin and has to do with some very bad and some very good people. Right triumphs and the persons with the bad motives get It where It is not at all pleasant to receive It. "Uncle . Tom's Cabin" at the Boyd. Again? Yes, indeed, and with no tears lacking.

LOUIS STATE EXHIBITS Report of Work of Securing Appropri ations for Buildings No Passes or Patronage I'aed. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10.-Charles M. Reeves, chief of the department of domestic ex ploitation, lias completed his report of the legislative work of the World's fair for submission to President Francis. " It shows that the states of America have expended about $4,000,000 on their buildings and ex hibits at the exposition. The expenses of carrying on this work aggregated over $40, 000, or a fraction over one-half of I per cent Forty-four states, territories and possessions are represented by buildings, some of them having a number of buildings devoted to various purposes. Mr. Reeves began this work more than three years ago In connection with his work as secretary of the committee on state and territorial exhibition. In speaking of the work he said: Not one penny of the money obtained was corruptly expended in the accomplish ment of these splendid results. Kvery cent that was paid out is accounted for on the books of tho department of domestic exploitation, and a duplicate record Is kept by the auditor of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. I am proud to say that what seems to be a popular Impression that corruption Is commoa in our legislative bodies is not correct. Let It be said to the credit of the American elective system and the men who have held honorable positions in our representative bodies r,at they are honest and upright and that departures from this Ideal are not only exceptions, but very rare exceptions to the rule. In spite of all we havo heard -to the con trary In Missouri. In only one etute out ef the fifty-one states., territories and possessions having buildings and exhibits on the exposition were we approached with a corrupt propo sition and made to me direct. A clique of about seven men who declared that they controlled the legislature of the state In question, and .they demanded considera tion for passing a bill appropriating money for the state's participation in the fair. This was not considered for a moment, and the bill was defeated. We at once arranged a private subscription plan, which worked well, but the people, without a hint from St. Louis, surmised the reasons for the fail ure of the bill, and I have been told that every one of the seven was defeated for re nnmlnatlnn or re-election st the subsequent frlmarles and elections. The next leglsla ure made a rather liberal appropriation. Few promises were made. Neither pat mnage nor passes were held out to legis latures as Inducements to them to support our bills, and yet but three states wers without representation when the exposition opened Delaware. South Carolina and Florida. A bill was passed by the. South Carolina legislature of 1902, but representa tion failed for other reasons. Florida has since swung Into line with an exhibit.

"GOOD OLD TIMES" A HUMBUG A Study of Actual Conditions tn Former Times Destroys the -Glamour of Arc, "Good old times" Is a popular subject. There probably were good old times and there probably were bad old times. Oood and bad were doubtless mixed In about the same proportion then as now. If there Is any difference there Is perhaps now more good and less bad. The world has spells of riotous living, extravagance and artificial ity, but It has spasms of morality, reform and economy, very much as the stock mar ket has periods of Inflation and panic even though the permanent trend of values is higher. Just as there are men who live so ex tremely In the present that they have no patience with the past, there are those who quarrel with everything that is and laud everything that was. In the current Fortnightly Review a writer Is so much dissatisfied with the world generally and society specifically that he would turn back the hands of the clock to the days of Louis XVI. It may be that the writer has as Intimate personal acquaintance with society today as of the -days of Louis XVI. ' it there Is some doubt about this. He sa "Ten thousand people In the days of Louis XVI were housed under the roof at Versailles during the royal fetes. Let us assume that, take It all round, three ser vants waited on each. What hostess or host of today could make anything but & hurly-burly out of over 2,000 guests?"' For shame upon the hostess or host of today who could not give a little dinner party to 2,000 guests with 6,000 or 8,000 ser vants to wait upon them I We have so de cayed in the art of wholesalo hospitality that a good many housewives would have to borrow a few spoons, cups, plates and chairs from the neighbors to entertain a cozy, sociable little bunch of 2,000 guests attended by 6,000 or 8,000 servants. The magazine writer says "they were the flower of an old and noble civilization." A good deal of foolishness has been written about this "old and noble civilization." Much of it was founded in brigandage, ra pine, and in unwise and unfair taxation. The beneficiaries of the loot and their de scendants refined themselves by soft living and good food and called themselves cul tured because they learned to play the lute, j dance the minuet and wear a powdered i wig. i The Fortnightly Review writer becomes positively Indignant at the American mil lionaire who buys pictures, books and tap estries. It is likely that some rich person buy these things without proper apprecia tion of them, but a very good way to learn appreciation of them Is to own them. The very fact that a man is willing to be ex travagant for these things Indicates that he suspects there Is something In them somewhere or somehow. It Is useless to berate the American mil lionaire. He is here to stay. Every sane American who can become a millionaire is going to do,so. The average American mil lionaire Is a good fellow. He may In some of his types be a little loud In his clothes, a little boisterous about the mouth or a little strutty In his walk. He may smack his lips at table and In rare Instances eat with his knife, but he Is more of a man than the pale, sappy, languid creature who, because he had a hardworking grandpa, never created a dollar's worth of value, never Invented a machine, or a process, never thought of a way to direct the ener gies of other men, never dug for gold or Iron never did anything but sit around with the women, talk nice and look neat. When a poor man by hustling makes a million dollars It Is almost a certainty that In addition to the factor of luck he has brain and will power and grit. Washington Star. Too Much Talk. One day as a magpie had taken a seat on a limb near the highway two travelers came along and halted under the tree to rest. They soon observed the bird, and, never having seen one of its species be fore, one of them called out: "Behold the eagle! What a noble bird!" "How beautiful! How grand!" added the other. Filled with conceit, the magpie began to chatter her satisfaction at the words, but she had scarcely opened her mouth when one of the travelers exclaimed: "What fools we are! I know from what I have read that this bird Is only a com mon magpie." "And let her begone," added his friend, as he picked up a atone and sent It whining at her head.
