The New York papers com men
upon the death of Frank Holmau
who at one time received a 20,000
salary in that city and recently died
in the poor house. He was spoken
of as "a generous hvei, a

who remembered him as "a gei
favorite." Good fellows, alas, too
frequently "attract the constant at
tendance of an army of sycophant

while the money lasts and

King's New Discovery for Consumption and
found immediate relief, and after using about a

can show so grand a record of cures, as Dr.
King's New Discqvcry for Consumption. Guar

The system of valuation in vogue
in this state does not make a credit
able showing. For instance, as will
be seen by an exhibit elsewhere, the
taxable valuation of Douglas county
is only 10,0000. The actual
value is nearer 100,000,000. The
tax for city purposes is 23i mills.
If the valuation for purposes of tax
ation was fixed at one-half real
value, or 50,000,000, the tax could
be only about 8 mills. The policy
is a suicidal one, and the result of
overy section of the state endeavor
ing to avoid the payment of its
proportion of the state tax. Omaha
