Commissioners Raise Value of Dis
tributing System from $32,000 to
$55,000 for Taxing Value.
Prom Thursday's Dally
The board of county commission
ers at their session this week closed
up the work of the county board of
equalization and passed on the
ter of the adjustment of several
piainis icai naa Deen maae as xo
property taxation.
The board had notified the Platts
mouth Water Co., that the board
would consider the matter of raising
the valuation placed on the distribut
ing system of the company in this
city from $32,000 that had been giv
en in to the assessor as tothe taxing
value of this personal property of the
company.
The Water company offered objec
tion to the raise in the valuation of
the plant or the distributing system,
representing that real estate in the
county was taxed at 6ixty and per
sonal property at fifty per cent and
that while the valuation of the plant
and its property had been placed at
$220,000 by the referee for the pur
pose of rate making, this included
many items that were not tangible
for taxing purposes.
The valuation of the distributing
system the county board found had
been fixed by the rate engineers at
$132,000.
The commissioners decided to raise
the valuation for taxing purposes
from the original amount of $32,000
to $55,000, which is less than the
fifty per cent of ipersonal taxing
value according to the figures secur
ed by the board.
Representatives of the water com
pany represented to the board that
the raise in the amount of taxs
would make necessary a further ad
vance in rates to the consumers.

on upper Main street was opened.

to open up on the sale there were
many from all parts of the city and
country down town to await tne
opening of the big sale and as
the doors were swung open the in
terior of the store was soon a mill
ing mass of people. The method of
displaying the good was such that
everything was in view of the shop
per all properly labeled and priced
and makine: it nossible to handle a
great many more shoppers than oth
erwise would have been possible.
The sale ia one of the best ar
ranged that has been held in the city

clerks account for the splendid way
in which the sale was made pos

Kill Dog Sus
pected of Having
Attack of Rabies
Dog Belonging to the Clarence Favor
Family Bites several Dogs
and is Shot
From Thursday's Daliy
The threat of the rabies among
the dogs which has held Omaha in
the utmost tension for the past few
weeks, seems to have spread to this
community a3 yesterday afternoon r
dog belonging to the Clarence Favor:
family suddenly ran amuck and hit
several dogs in the south part of the
city where the family reside.
The animal has been rather cross
for some time and a week ago bit
the small boy of the Favors family
altho at the time it was not thought
a serious matter as the dog was ap
parently in his normal condition but
since the dog displayed the dangerous
symptons of yepvripy, the boy if
being kept under observation T5y"p"hy
sicians to avoid any development of
the rabies, should the dog prove to
be affected by this fearful malady.
As soon as the dog started his
rampage among the dogs of the neigh
borhood, the animal was shot and
the head of the dog sent by Dr. R. P
Westover to Lincoln to the State de
partment of health where it will be
examined to determine whether or
not the animal was affected by the
rabies.
Should the dog prove to have been
affected by the rabies the wholesale
slaughter of the dogs in that locality
that may have been bitten probably
be necessary as a measure of precau
tion.
The citv of Omaha has had several
children die as the result of bites
from dogs suffering from the rabief
and prompt action should be taken
to avoid all possible danger snouia
the suspected animal prove to have
been suffering from the rabies.
COMES INTO ITS OWN
v. T Richev. owner of the hotel
hniirtinp- at Sixth and Main street
and now the active manager of the
hotel, has decided that the building
and the hotel shall again bear the
designation that was placed on it
when the structure was erected, the
Riley Hotel.
This hotel building was named in
hnnnr nf Mr. Rilev who erected the
building and who was at the time
that the structure was erected, a
leader in the Dolitical and public life
of Omaha, as he was one of the most
prominent leaders of the metropolis
and who saw that the hotel duiii
here was the last word in hotel
equipment at that time.
For many years the hotel was
operated under the name of Riley
hotel until it was leased by Fred
Wagner who changed the name to
the Wagner hotel and after his re
gime it was changed to the Main
hotel by William Barclay, the recent
ly retired manager of the hotel.
Now at last the old time name
will be restored, the title that once
hlnznneil forth on the tower of the
hotel building will be restored and
the residents find that the Riley is
back where it belongs.

Many to Fine Program.

great success in every way, large
crowds attending and fine programs
being offered by the committee in

the baseball park and in the tourist
park that adjoins the ball park on
the south and which furnishes ample
accommodation for the crowds that
have been filling the midway for the
shows and also attending tLe ball
games and the rodeo that has been
made a feature of the festival.
Each afternoon there is a ball
game staged by Greenwood with one
of the teams from the nearby towns
and which have proven real battles
and with many thrills for the base
ball fans. Earl Jardine, Greenwood's
well known ball player having been
getting into the home run class in
the games.
The rodeo gives a wild west set
ting to the festival and many cow
boy stunts give their part
of the
entertainment of the large crowds
that fill the grandstand at the ball
park each day when this feature of
the festival is staged.
For those who enjoy other en
tertainment, the carnival company
which is being sponsored by the mer
chant's association of Geenwood,
holds forth on the tourist park where
a midway of the high class shows
has been arranged and which help to
entertain the young and old alike
with their various allurements.
The evening program of the fes
tival is featured by the platform
dance and for which Dan Desdunes
orchestra of Omaha is furnishing the
music and this popular musical or
ganization have made the dancing
portion of the festival a real success
and kept George Bucknell busy sell
ing tickets for this part of the big
show. . . w
That the festival might not be
confined entirely to the allurements
of the carnival, the rodeo and the
dance, the committee in charge has
arranged to have a number of the
candidates of the state to be pres
ent and address the voters. On Fri
day evening Arthur J. Weaver, re

the chief orator of the occasion, shar
ing the spotlight with John E. Cur
tiss, candidate for state railway com
missioner. Judges James T. Begley
and Judge A. H. Duxbury, non-partisan
judicial candidates.
On Friday evening the political
drawing card was the address of the
democratic candidate for the office
of Governor, whose address was one
of singular worth, as it told the truth
regarding the opposing party and
showed how the democrats had saved
money for the state in many ways
besides giving service which the op
posing party never touched in their
handling of the affairs of the state.
His remarks were received with many
indications of approval and applaud
ed to the echo.

Advantages of This City to Be Placed
Pefore U. S. Veterans Bureau
for Consideration.
From Saturday's Dany
The committee of the Chamber of
Commerce in charge of the presen
tation of the claims of this city for
'the U. S. Veterans hospital which is
to be located somewhere in Nebras
ka, are getting busy on their plans
and will see that this city is given
the proper representation among the
other cities of the state that are
offering their communities as pos
sible sites for the hospital.
Many advantages are possessed by
this section for hospital location, one
being the great natural advantage
that this part of the Missouri val
ley possesses and also the fact that
it is central in a large population of
former service men, being but eight
een miles from Omaha and fifty-five
from Lincoln in which cities there
are large number of the veterans as
well as in the adjoining counties in
Nebraska and western Iowa.
The healthy climate of this sec
tion of the west is another factor to
gether with abundant supply of wa
ter of the greatest purety and splen
did lines of communication given by
the Burlington and Missouri Pacific
railroads as well as several bus lines
that place this city in a very few
hours touch with all parts of the
state.
The committee of which J. A. Cap
well is the chairman, will 6ee that
all of the advantages of this com
munity will be properly offered in
that the hospital if possible may be
secured for this locality. The hos
Dital will occunv a site of from 150
to 200 acres of land and be one of
the finest institutions of its kind in
the west when it is erected, and be
lieving that this section is one well
suited to the purpose the claims of
j Plattsmouth and Cass county for the
hospital will be pressed with the
greatest of good feeling toward other
towns that may also be seeking the
hospital.
