Attorney General' i Decision on Iraternals
Pronounoed Meaningless.
LOCAL ATTORNEY EXPRESSES HIS VIEW
Says Real Question Involved la
Whether Fraternal Shall lie
Classed aa BeneHclal
and la Tnaettled.
Officers of fraternal organizations In
Omaha do not care to dlscuKs the opinion
of Attorney General Brown that all prop
erty, moneys and credits of such organiza
tions must be tinted for taxation In the
respective counties In which they are found,
aa they have not yet seen a copy of the
opinion.
"Similar opinions have been given by the
state attorney's office before," said one of
the attorneys of a large fraternal Insurance
company Incorporated in Nebraska. "But
the real Question involved has never been
decided, either by this official or the courts.
It is whether or not fraternal Insurance
societies should not be regarded aa charita
ble Institutions. It Is on this theory that
the societies have escaped taxation before
and I think they will do so again, and it
may not be necessary to carry the matter
Into the courts. Some states specifically
exempt such organisations from taxation.
Rather than stand It in Nebraska un
doubtedly large orders having headquarters
lrvQpaha or Lincoln wduld transfer thetn
to One of these states, sell what real estate
thsy have In Nebraska and, in short, put
1L their money and property, beyond the
reach of the taxing power of this common
wealth. I don't say that this would be
done, but I think It would be the result
provided the matter was pressed to a con
clusion acatnst us. '
"We are not worrying over the opinion,
as it appears to be In close conformity with
others from the attorney general's office
In past years. In reality It means noth
ing.!' B. H. Roblson, president of the Bankers
Reserve Life company, said his company Is
classed as an old line reserve company,
pays taxes of 2 per cent on groBS premiums,
and. In his opinion, does not come under
the 'classes of Insurance societies urder
consideration by the State Board of Equal
" Ufction.

A Most Excellent Hemedr tor Whoop.
Ins- Conali.
(From Miner County Democrat, How-
ard, 8. D.)
It Isn't often that the Democrat takes
any stock in proprietary preparations, but
having had occasion to use Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in a recent case of whoop,
ing cough we found it a most excellent
remedy, and one that gives the child Im
mediate relief. Being pleasant to the
taste children do not object to taking It,
and it keeps the cough loose, and if given
freely and as directed, there is practically
no danger whatever from the disease.

Announcements of the Theaters.
The basic Incident of "Tile Duke of Killi-
crankle," which will be presented at the
Boyd on Friday night, with John Drew In
the leading role. Is a daring conception In
modern drama. A young nnblo falls In
love with a girl who Is apparently oblivious
to his personal charms and attractions.
With a companion he entraps the girl and
her companion at his castle and holds them
practically prisoners until he has won his
case. It smacks much of medievalism, but
Is entirely modern in Its treatment. Cap
tain Marshall lias again proved himself a
wonderful adept constructor, while Mr.
Drew has found the role one of the finest
he has ever enacted and many critics have
pronounced it the triumph of his career
as an actort Margaret Dale heads the com
pany Mr. Frohmnn has provided to sup
port Mi? Drew and the rest of tho cast
Is in keeping with this. The first perform
ance will bo given at the Boyd on Friday
evening, the engagement including a mat
Inee and a performance Saturday evening.
The regular mid-week matinee today at
the Orpheum Is the one attraction sched
uled at the theaters this afternoon. The
bill for this week Is drawing and enthusing
large audiences. It being the last vaudeville
show of the season seems to incite a special
interest. There are a number of excellent
features on the program that are nicely
calculated for the entertainment of women
and children, prominent among these being
the eight clever performers in the Okabe
Japanese troupe; Thereso Dorgeval, one of
the daintiest and prettiest vocalists that has
teen heard at the Orpheum, and those pop
ular stars, George C. Bonlfaco, Jr., and
Bertha Waltzlnger, presenting a sketch
called "The Medicine Man." At the last
performance on Saturday night the big
amateur show will be given in conjunction
with the regular program, and from the
rapid sale of seats It is indicated a packed
house Vlll be present to see tho fun.

The reserve seat sale for the Madame
Gadskl and Pittsburg orchestra concerts at
the Auditorium opens Friday morning at 9
o'clock at the Auditorium. A large number
of seats have been engaged by mall and a
full house seems altogether probable. The
matinee at 2:30 on Tuesday should draw a
good house, as Mr. Pauiy the conductor of
the orchestra, will appear as piano soloist,
and he is considered one of the greatest in
the country. In fact, it is said that he
might become world-famous as a piano so
loist if he would devote his entire time to
that Instrument. His grsat orchestra will
render a superb program at the matinee.
In the evening Madame Gadskl, the famous
grand opera singer, will appear with the
orchestra in three numbers, and will also
be assisted by the Omaha Festival chorus.
Many, box seats have already been engaged
and Madame Gadskl and the great orchestra
will surely be greeted by a fashionable as
well as a largo audience.
AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Local Securities in Demand .Among the
Eond Buyers of the East.
URGENT REQUEST SENT FOR PENDING ISSUE
Proposed Hefnndlna Hnmla Are Also
Asked After with Kicellent Pros
pert of Sale at Comfort
ahle Premium.
From inquiries recelvrd by the city clerk
it looks as if South Omaha bonds were
considered excellent securities by eastern
bond buyers. Wednesday afternoon the
clerk received a letter from lloehler &
Cummlngs of Toledo, who were the high
est bidders for the 70,m) city hall bends,
stating that they were anxious to get the
securities as soon as possible and asking
when the litigation regarding the validity
of the bonds would be over. This same
firm also asked If the city had any other
bond Issues In view, lloehler A Cummlngs
bid a premium of $!27 for the city hall
bonds, while the low bid was from a Chi
cago firm that offered only $2fi0 premium.
All of the bids have been returned except
that of lloehler A CummliiKS. This bid is
to be held until the city Is at liberty to
go ahead with the eule or the bonds are
declared Invalid.
W. J. Hayes & Sons of Cleveland were
also bidders. They have written the clerk
requesting that in case tho Toledo firm
does not take the bowls that they be given
a chance to purchase the issue. The Hayes
bank also request Information regarding
the proposed issuing of Jltn.oiiO refunding
sewer and viaduct bonds. They assert that
they want to bid on these securities as
soon as the council decides to make a re
Issue. City Attorney Lambert now has tills
matter of refunding the fHO.ooo bonds un
der consideration. The plan Is to refund
these bonds at 4'4 per cent, to take the
place of the outstanding issue which is
now drawing Interest at the rate of 5 per
cent. Naturally such Inquiries make the
city officials feel that South Omaha Is
still of some importance, otherwise there
would rut be such a demand for its se
curities. Will Posh Depot Project.
It appears to be the plan of the South
Omaha Commercial club to compel the
Union Taclllc Railroad company to erect
a depot in South Omaha. Members of the
club are telling around that they propose
to show former commercial clubs that the
railroad company can be compelled to
erect a presentable looking depot at South
Omaha. In order to put this "force" argu
ment into effective use the city council Is
to be called upon to pass a speed ordinance
that will stick. Officers of the club assert
that some trains rush through the limits
of South Omaha without eveu. hesitating.
This they propose to stop by the enforce
ment of an ordinance, providing the coun
cil will pass such a measure. "The arrest
of a few train crews running through the
city at a high rate of speed will soon bring
the Union Pacific to terms," declared an
officer of tho Commercial club last even
ing. This club officer did not state Just
how the crew of the fast mall could be
arrested, but he declared It could be done.
Continuing, this same club official asserted,
"The Union Pacific must either build a
depot at South Omaha, or else slow down
Its trains to eight miles an hour while
passing through the city."
Officials of tho Union Pacific have al
ways declared that when their contem
plated improvements to the trackage sys
tem are completed a -depot will be erected.
City Has Money.
City Treasurer Howe has Just completed
a report showing the" money on hand at
the closo of business May 1. According to
the statement made by the treasurer there
was in his hands on the date mentioned
a balance of $117,82, Considerable of this
balance has been derived from the 10 per
cent reserve held back for a number of
years. Then the scavenger sale helped
out a great deal. The treasurer now has
over $10,000 to his credit on account of
tho sale of property under the scavenger
act. There is, of course, some money left
over from other sources and money paid In
on taxes long ago delinquent is being re
ceived every day. Every cent that can be
turned to account when the 1905 levy Is
made will be used to decrease the tax levy.
This statement is the best that has been
made for years. There is no overlap In any
of tho city funds and the securing of some
of the -10 per cent reserve will assist mate
rially in reducing the levy to be made by
the council In July.

ho ought to be permitted to go ahead and
move houses without a license because he

wants to move houses here he will have
to secure a permit the same as other men
in the house moving business.

BERNSTEIN EXPLAINS THE LAW
Probation Officer Outlines Purpose of
Juvenile t'onrt for Prospe?t
Hitlers.
Fully fifty children, ranging In age from
8 to 16 years, some with their parents and
some alone, crowded Into the little hall at
Thirty-fourth and Decatur streets, the
meeting place of the Prospect Hill Improve
ment club. Wednesday evening, to listen
to the talk of "Mogy" Bernstein on the
subject of the Juvenile court law. It was
the regulnr meeting night of the Improve
ment club, but owing to the special pro
gram which had been previoualy arranged
the regular business of the meeting was
dispensed wjth.
Evidently it was not generally known by
the residents of Clifton Hill Junt what is
the meaning of the Juvenile law, which has
but recently gone Into effect, and the talk
by Mr. Bernstein was arranged for by the
promoters for the purpose of enlightening
those who were in the dark on the subject.
Mr. Bernstein talked of the law and Its
purposes and explained fully Its Jurisdiction
and the field which It hns covered and
which It will continue to cover. Ho ex
plained that it was not the purpose of the
court nor the probation officers to bring de
linquent children before a common court of
Justice, where the ordinary criminal is
dealt with, but had been promulgated for
the purpose of dealing fairly and Justly
with the boys and girls who have fallen In
the path of wrong-doing, and also to de
termlne whether the fault is with the child
or its parents and home surroundings.
Mr. Bernstein gave a few statistics of the
accomplishment of the work along these
lines which he and his two assistants have
accomplished since the law went into ef
fect. He states that over 200 cases havo
been disposed of by the court in forty-six
days and in many of these Instances tho
cases seemed almost hopeless, but by dint
of hard work they have succeeded in plac
ing many delinquent boys and girls in good
homes, where they are now working hard
and going to school and leading a better
life than that to which they had been ac
customed. A cordial Invitation was ex
tended to all children as -ell as the parents
to visit the court at any tlmr.
Several other speakers voiced their senti
ments at the meeting and thanked tho
"king of newsboys" for his instructive talk
and the good work which has been done by
the probation officers.
