The tax-paying citizens of the First
ward are highly incensed over the action
of the city council in raising the assessed
valuation of their properly 20 per cent.
It is proposed now to hold an indignation
meeting where their grievances can bo
aired , and at which , in all probability , a
petition will bo drawn up asking the city
fathers to reconsider their action.
County Treasurer Hush , who lives in
that ward , U in strong sympathy with
the movement. This gentleman consid
ers Mr , William Doll , the usscseur of
that ward , ono of its best oflicora , and
Bays that ho always has favored the
poorer classes of properly owners whoso
assessments ho has made. Mr. Rush
looks upon the action of that body as
arbitrary , nnd thinks the notion -of that
budy would not stand in the courts.

The above is a copy of the letter which
was written in Gorman , and is as correct
roct a translation of it ao the idioms o
the two languages will admit. From tlii
mother of Miss Klontch it was loarnot
that seine time ago Joseph Grimm ,
brother of Max , entered two claims , ono
under a homestead and the other under
a prc-omptlon right , near a little jilaco
in this state , named Spalding. Owing to
his non-conipliniico with the law , ho was
about to lose them and relinquished his
rights , his brother Immediately making
his filing on the name. Not long ago the
time came for him to provo up on his
pro'eruption and ho was wanting _ the
money , It was borrowed from a friend
in south Omaha and this is the money
referred to in his loiter. How it was
lost is not now known. It was said by
Mrs. Ivlensh that no ono oven know
whether or not ho had the money when
10 disappeared and his absence to-day
B accounted for by some of his friends
on the supposition that part of it was
needed to pay the expenses of his mar
ringo.
Yesterday after his disappearance
quito a number of his friends turned out
, o look for him , supposing his lifeless
> odyyould bo found along the banks of
ho Missouri , or in some lonely place
) iorcod with bullets. Yesterday fore
teen novoral of thorn had just returned to
tlrs. Klonach's house when the letter was
irought to the young woman. Her
mother states tliat her daughter rocog-
lizoditho handwriting so soon as it was
given her , and * with a look of disdain
ponod the missive , saying , that ho
\rlio would leave her as
Jrimm had would do things much worsa
nd she would never marry him. It was
oportud on the street last evening that
ho young lady had sent Grimm a tolo-
; ram requesting him to return , but such
s not the fact.
OPENED YESTERDAY.
The Onmlin Stoclc Turds ICccOlvo
Their First Shipment of
Oat Mo.
Yesterday the first train load of stocker
or the now stouk yards arrived in
) mahn. There were 25 car loads , in all
numbering G2C. They came from Major
iValcott'a ranch , near Dour Creek , Wy
oming , and were carrod at Medicine
Jow. They were nearly all
year-old Texans , and would average
rom 050 to 1,150 pounds per
load. The cattle were unloaded and fed
t the yards preparatory to starting to
ny for Chicago. It was Mr. Walcott's
ntontion to sell them in Omaha when ho
oft the ranch , but the buyers hero are
not ready to begin to deal in stock.
For the present no rates have boon do-
onninod upon for the feeding of stock
at the yards. Twenty-five cents will bo
ihargod on all cattle and ten cents on all [
logs and sheep sold hero. The advan-
ages of these yards are well known in
ho west and a croat investment is prcdio-
ed for the men who have built them.
< Settling tliolr IJOBBCH ,
The adjusters for the various insurance
companies carrying risks on the Omaha
lard refinery finished their work of ad
justment yesterday. Upon stock nlono
the company was insured to the extent
of § 30,000 , the property being valued nt
$22,000. The loss by fire waa1913. ; !
its proportionate Bharo of which near
ly every company paid yesterday. The
machinery valued at $7,200 was n total
loss und wns insured for $3,250. The
building only n partial loss , was val
ued nt $9,000 , insured for $1,000.
At the tlmo of the destruction of this
property negotiations were pending for
its transfer to ono of the largest lard relining
lining firms In the west. It was in
tended to greatly increase its capacity
and use all rough lard products of Uoyd s
packing houso. It will bo immediately
rebuilt , however , by the company , and
will have all the modern machinery and
conveniences of a manufactory of this
kind. C
It 1ms not yut been fully settled how
the fire originated. It haa boon disoov-
ored since , however , that only ono hour
buforo the fire was lirat soon , three of
tint company's employees had left the 1

looking for some ono who had loft ono of

CiiEiaiiTo.v , Nob. , August 12. The
usually quiet town has been shocked by
a shooting affray that occurred hero lasl
Sunday morning , at 2 p. m. , in front ol
a notorlo us low dive. The affair occur
red as follows : A ntrangor on goln to
Dakota stopped in our town over night ,
nnd had considerable money. Several
noted gamblers of the town took it upon
themselves to draw this man into a game
in order to relieve him of his
money , but failed. Saturday evening
ing was spent by the stranger and
gramblors in itnbiding considerable
tangle-foot , when ono of these gamblers
became BO cxosporatod that ho was go
ing to kill his man any way , so drew his
revolver and attempted to ahoot this
stranger when a room-inato and friend
of the gambler stopped in and attempted
to take the revolver away from this
notorious yillian , got shot through the
liand nnd in the bowels. The name of
Lho shootist is Link Baker , and of
the unfortunate man , Fred Lotty.
The wound will in all probability
provo fatal. The murderer was taken
by the citizens and turned over to a pal ,
to take care of him until the marshal was
brought upon the ground , and was un
doubtedly told by this pal to skip , which
ho did in good iilmpo. If this notorious
dive had been closed at a seasonable hour
this would not have occurred , but I un
derstand it is kept running night ana
day , Sunday included , and our town
council and marshal quietly look on and
say or do nothing , and if the citizens
were to do anything they would stand
by the divo. TUAVELEU.
Fixing for the Fair.
Mosssrs. Furnas , Dinsmoro , Grinuoll

ported at the mooting that the work was
progressing rapidly and that everything
would bo in order at the opening of the

at the proapocts of the fair and think the

others of former years. They report an
unprecedented lot of entries up to the

The search of the alchemist for the

bition of the photographer to imprison
the colors of nature on the collodion film.
How many weary hours have been apent ,
how many tons of costly chemicals huvo
boon wasted in this hope !
"It is our dream , and in a chance ex
periment wo may strike it , " said ouo of
the visiting photographers last evening.
" \Vo have at times made photographs of
road-headed people , and by proper ton

when making n daguerreotype I was

1500-lIorHo Power , HO Miles n
Hour , NumorouB Improvements ,
Mr. George S. Strong has just com-
iltitod at the Lchigh Valley shops in
iVilkcsbarro , Ponu , , a locomotive wnich
10 expects will bo able to pull a train on
ho Now York division of the Lohigh road
at the rate of 80 miles an hour. The
engine weighs nearly 100,000 pounds ,
and thn tender when filled with coal and
vator , 70,000 pounds. It is stated that
.ho . engine will develop from 1400 to
T > 00 horse power. The great speed
claimed for this engine is attained by
constructing the cylinders with the stea.ii
mcl exhaust entirely independent. This
s done by using fewer plain slide valves
known as gridiron valves ) on each oyl-
nder. The valves are worked by a pe
culiar arrangement of valva gear , in
which the motion is Ukon from the con-
looting-rod , and working entirely on
rue centers , there being no sliding eur-
aces ; the steam valves being independ
ent of the exhaust and vice versa , any
mint of cut-olT or cxpau-
ilon can be obtained without
ho corresponding back pressure
and over-compression In the link
- , as mo- '
ion. The point of compression can ulso
> o changed without altering the point of
cutoff or expansion , so that the same V
sized cylinder will give much moro power
or at a given pressure than can bo ob-
ained by the link. To got the full bone-
it of this the engine carries 1GO pounds
joilor pressure , the boiler beingconstruct-
> d of atuul especially for the purpose. It
ms outjoints , doublurivitodwith 51 inches
'or its smallest diameter. The fire box
s 11 foot with 230 two-inch tubes and
.he total hoatinp surface being 1378
quaro foot. The pro to area is 37 square
foot. The engine is also Gttod with an
independent steam pump and a heater
for feeding the boiler so as to put in
water at nearly the boiling point , the
heater being under the boiler The pum ;
being independent , can bo run when th
engine is standing , and just fast onougl
to keep an oven gauge of water when
running. The steam break on the engine
gino is also of special design , and also t
spark arrester designed by Mr. A
Mitchcl , the superintendent. This ar
rcstcr is BO arranged that all the sparks
are thrown down into a box , forward o
the smoke arch and are there carried to
the end of the run and dumped the sitno
ashes , The srmrk arrester has been in
use for some time and has proven satis
