It is only about fifteen foot in circum , ference a baby hat. It attracts much attention from those who drop in there ) and is certainly a curiosity. Several have spoken for it to wear at the next mas querade , but tbero is hardly a hall largo enough to allow the wearer to siring i around with it. Two colllna were found Saturday in the bluff back of the Qgden house , -by the men who are excavating thoro. One was A metallic case , and contained the body of a child , and was pretty well preserved , ugh that place ha not been uuod as a couiotory for about twenty years * The cofiln was taken to Morgan's undertaking establishment.

It seems hardly possible that the aldnr- mnnio fathers will put themselves on record as treating such an important position - sition as a moro chroma to bo given some pot , but still they may. The weather has not boon very favor- able for calling attention to nummor resorts - sorts , but still the little pamphlet just issued for 1884 by "tho Albert Leo route" is worthy of attention at nny sea son. It is a little beauty typographically , is pleasingly illustrated , and contains a great amount of interesting information about the summer resorts of Iowa and Minnesota , reached by this route , which is composed of the Chicago it Rock Island , Burlington & Cedar Rapids , nnd Minneapolis & St. Louis railways. Before fore planning a summer trip you should secure a copy nnd peruse it. The Young Men's Shoting club is to have n side hunt on the < 21st.

RAILWAY TAXATION. An Important Decision in Regard to Assessments in Terminal Cities , Council HIiilTs .Should Insist on Us The showing of facts nnd figures by TUB BIK in regard to the taxation of railways in Council Bluffa has opened the eyes of many who wore before ignorant of the real condition of nffniro. Ono citizen remarked to Tun BEE man that it was no use , however , "thoro daren't anybody hero try to tax railway property ns it ought to bo , for if they did they wouldn't got elected ngain , nnd they know it. " That may bo , but the people nro entitled to the facts nnd then if they prefer to lie down nnd keep quiet , that is their own Ipok-out. In connection with this showing of facts there comes the nowa of nn important decision delivered in Toledo , Ohio , last Thursday by the district court , which hits the point pretty snugly , nnd is of such interest ns to merit attention , the Ohio law being similar fo that of lown , nnd the portion of Toledo , the case is similar to that of Council Bluffs. The case wns the Wnbash , St. Louis & Pacific Railway company vs. Kelsey , treasurer of Lucas county. An appraisal of the main track on the usual milengo basts had boon made in 1881 , to which had 'noon added to the duplicate in this city the assessed value of the company's valu able terminable property located hero. The company paid this tax under pretest - test , claiming that nil the property should bo apportioned among nil the counties through which the road posses. Tito court , after citing the laws relating to the assessment and collection of taxes on railway property in cities and tcwns , said : "There is great ndvnntago to a railroad in passing through or having a terminus at a largo city or in other populous places whore it acquires n largo portion of its business , and where of necessity its prop erty must bo valuable , and wo cannot see why ! it should not pay the same rate of taxes * on such property that private per sons do , while there is justice in the manner of taxinc the rolling stock , as it has no permanent location , but is mova ble , passing from one pluco to another , in this case both within and without this state. Sec. 2 of Art. 12 of our constitu tion provides that taxation shall bo by a uniform rule , and Soc. 4 of Art. 13 pro vides that the property of corporations now existing , or hereafter created" , shall bi subjected to taxation the satno as the property of individuals , but the plaintiff in error proposes that a part of the as sessed value of its property in Toledo shall by a legal sleight of hand bo trans ported , to Fsomo rural district where it shall bo subject to a much less degree of taxation than property of equal value belonging , to individuals and situated in Toledo. Tsi "Wo hold , first , that the rolling stock should bo apportioned to each county , city , village and township through which the road runs in proportion that the length | of such road in such county , city , village jj and township bears to the entire length thereof in all the counties through which it runs. Second , the fixed prop erty , including the road-bed , should be apportioned ] tn each county , city , village township through which the road runs in the same proportion that the value in each boars to the total value in all. Third , the value of the company's mon eys : and credits should bo apportioned to each county , city , village and township through which the road runs in the same proportion as the fixed property. In this case the plaintiff in error should find no fault , for its road-bod was apportioned in the same manner as the rolling-stock was , to which it was not entitled. The judgment below is affirmed. " The case will bo carried up to the supreme court. IflK How That 1'liuio Stands Travelling on the Briny Deep.
