tlic Assessment.
OMAHA , Nob. , Juno 15 : To Richard
O'Kocfc , .7 , W. Corliss nnd George
Timmo county commissioners of Douglas
Co. , Neb. , sitting as a "Hoard of Equali
zation" In and for Douglas county.
Greeting'
Wo the Knights of Labor of the city of
Omaha , composing from three to live
thousand citizens , tax payers
nnd voters of Douglas" county
respectfully represent to your
lionorablo body that while
-tlio great majority of the tax-payers of
said county nro assessed for the current
year at about one fourth the cash value
of the property they possess , yet we re
gret to learn that a great ninny wealthy
citi/.ons and corporations tire only us-
scsscd at about oiie.-tonth the actual cash
value of thu property held by them , and
in many instances at oven a less part of
the cash vnlue of their property , to the
great injustice of the many , nnd contrary
to the. constitution of the state , which re-
niilres that "every person and corpora
tion shall pay n tux in proportion to the
value of Ins , nor or its franchises. "
Furthermore wo desire to add that a
great part of the personal property held
iii the country is not assessed at all and
consequently bears no part of the bur-
dim of taxation.
And whereas , under the law , the
county commissioners as a "Hoard of
Equalization , "have the power , "on the
application of any person considering
Jilmsclf aggrieved , or who shall complain
that the property of another is assessed
too low , " to "review the assessment and
correct the same as shall anpcar to bo
juct , " therefore wo have concluded to
present to you tlio names of jjortain per
sons and corporations whoso assessments
we believe are unjustly and ridiculously
low when compared with the assessments
of the majority. Wo trust you will
give the various complaints which
may bo laid before your due consideration
nnd indeed the terms of the statute nro
mandatory upon you that you "shall" ito
so.
so.Wo beg to bo permitted to remind you
* lhnt tvliilo you nro sitting as a "Board of
Equalization" you are acting in a judicial
capacity us distinct from thu ollicu
of commissioners , as your oflieo of
"
' -commissioners Is distinct from the county
; court or any other olllco of
'
'the county ; that you have full
" power , in the performance of your
duties , ns nn incident to the
performance thereof , when not expressly
granted you by the statute , to use any
nnd all process necessary to a proper
termination of your labors. Your chair
man is authorized to administer the oath ,
nnd you may summon nnd compel tlio
attendance of parties and witnesses , and
require the production before you of
documents and papers necessary to a
proper adjustment of tlio case under con-
isderation.
* It may bo objected that you can not
, raise or lower the aggregate assessment
of the county. That is true except
wiieroiu such increase or de
crease is an "incident" to the
toruiall/.ation. Suppose lor example
.that-there arc ten thousand taxpayers in
the county and t.en-nijllion . dollars' worth
, jaf taxable property. Upon the return of
the assessors we find that nine' thousand
nine hundred and ninety-nino of the tax
payers are assessed together nine million
dollars , while the remaining one tax
payer , the owner of the other million of
property , is assessed only for live hun
dred thousand dollars. Nothing can be
clearer than that it would bo your duty to
rTiiso his assessment to ono million del
lars. And yet , in so doing you increase
the ncrgrogato assessment of the county
by half a million.
The intention of the legislature simply
was to prevent you from arbitrarily in
creasing or decreasing the aggregate as
sessment of the county independently of
find without regard to equalization ,
Tlio ono great defect in th6 law is the
time allowed you for your labors , the
'statute expressly providing that you shall
tiaot sit for more than twenty days , when
you should have at least three times that
period. ,
. However , all wo ask is that you do the
Jcstyou can in the time allowed , hoping
'that ' by the time yon again sir as a board
fof equalization for the county the law
will bo so amended as that hereafter wo
may have equal nnd just taxation in
spite of dishonest taxpayers nnd dishon
est assessors. , . .
By order of the joint executive board
of the Knights"of Lab'rtr of Omaha.

MONUMENTING THE OITV ,
Tbo Proposed Plan of 1'crToctliiK tlio
City's Surveys.
The following is thu opinion of City
JJnginoer Kosowntqr upon the proposed
plan of monument ing the city , for which
work an ordinance is being prepared :
The original town site of Omaha , ns sur
veyed by A. D. Jones , M. Byers and Lorln
Wilier , was platted by several parties , nnd
plats were publlsned imrpoitlng tobenuthcn-
tic , by private Individuals. These plats In
some rwpecta arn veivvaguo nnd In otheis
contradictory. The surveys themselves nre
erroneous to an extent that usually charac
terizes that kind of work , nnd t > omo blocks
ralong nnd others hhort. In other woids ,
theoretically blocks nru2tl feet lout : ; pratti-
Ally they range fiom 2iB to 2frj feet In
length. Streets are theoietleally 10J
iecl wide , but practically mo found
to bo from ninety' seven to lot
fret. If these figures \u'iu known and could
bo imule. permanent , then nil would bu satis
factory , but the Hues change from year to
year ; old stakes nnd landmarks nro con- .
stoutly subject to change , nnd s > u In the. nb-
eenco of peimaneut landmuiks unit recorded
C JHats with iceognbed dimensions , no one Is
lire of any permanence In miy.Ilne.-i. Theie
i absolutely no record of nny .klud on' thu
SttHP of the city qf Omaha us originally
Abdicated. The additions to the city , u bile a
Matter of record , are totally unreliable , anil
every year or two wo are confronted with tlio
discovery of some Rlnrlitg error or dlscrep-
nncy. The section corners nnd sulKllvisions
nrcchaiiRcd either purposely or by accident ,
nnd with them comes ncliance In all the lines
of lots nnd streets which are laid out
from these corners. This Is tlie
case In numerous additions through
out the city. What safeguard has any
pro | > ertv owner or the city ncnlnst
frauds or accidents that nrn accompanied by
such serious results ? In my opinion there Is
but one remedy , nnd that Is covered by the
charter provision. Kvery largo elty In this
country and Kuropo has eono through the
same experience excepting , perhaps , that
most all cities hnvo had original plats re
corded ns a basis to worK upon. Omaha has
never had n recorded plat nnd the only basks
for describing property has been mathemntic
limps published by prlvntu Individuals , nnd
ns nearly nil the published maps differ ( n
many particulars , there Is constant dlfllculty
attending the description of property.
The operation of a commission of engi
neers under the lawns passed will bo some
thing like this : Complete surveys of every
part of the city will bo made , the locations
of nil exceptcd or recognized lines notu.l ,
the locations of nil buildings ( of
note marked out upon n mnn of theses
surveys nnd nil the exact dimensions of the
streets , blocks nnd lots noted. Stone monuments
ments must then be permanently set nt every
Intersecting street nnd the respective distance
of one from the other exactly noted. It fact ,
every precaution should bu taken to Insure
the public turalnst any change of lines by lass
or destruction of any points. The aim should
be not to upset existing lines becnu > e of their
Irregularity but to permanently establish nnd
maintain the existing order of things with n
view of conllrmini ; every one indefinite lo
cation of boundaries and destroying thu.pos
sibility of doubts.
When once dnno and approved under the
provisions of the law , I believe Unit no man
should bo allowed to .survey lots without a
license and a bond ns surety for any Im
proper work , and every surveyor so licensed
should bo reiiulrod to file with the county
clerk nt least once each month , copies
of nil filed notes nnd plats of ovnry sur
vey made nnd every such surveyor should be
compelled to use the established monuments
ns his basis for such surveys. The work will
take fullv two years for Its completion If car
ried out by ono set of men , nnd the sooner
the better for the city nnd property-owners.
To put It on" is simply deferring what must
Inevitably be done nnd only adding to the
dllllcultles to bo ovcrsomo when the work Is
undertaken. Yuiy res | > ectfully ,

Linylng the Corner Stone.
The corner stone of the new board of
trade building will bo laid at 7 o'clock
on Thursday evening , Juno 17 , under the
auspices of theOriXnd Lodge of Nebraska
Masons. The Masons will moot at their
hall at the comer of Capitol avenue and
Sixteenth street , and under escort of the
local orders will march to the Exposition
building where they will bo joined by the
ollieers and members of the board of
trade. The march will then bo
continued to the site of the
new board of trnao building
at the corner of Sixteenth and Fariium ,
where the services will bo held. In addi
tion to the regular address and services
by the Masonic order , addresses will bo
delivered by Max Meyer , president of tlio
board of trade , and JSdward Hosowater ,
editor of the BEE.
The president of the board of trade ex
tends an invitation to nil citizens to bo
present nnd take part in the exorcises.
Tlio members of the board of trade will
meet at their hall at 0:30 : o'clock prepara
tory to marching in the procession to the
scene of tlio services.
An 'Effort for "Square" Sport.
The big mcdul with 'one Koss attacked
that lately came back from Kansas City
with its pinions plucked and the Hitch
cock-Hughes fiasco have rather disgusted
lovers of1 athletic sports in these parts.
An effort is being made , however , to have
a square , fair up and up foot race , just to
show that Omnlia has a liking for honor
able out-door contests. Whitney , of the
UlulT hose team , a well-known runner ,
who carries many sprinters' sealps.on his
beltj was in townyosterday-and'thotrob-
nbilitio.s are that u match will bo arranged
between him and u young Canadian run
ner of good record and repute , who for
some time has been a resident of the city.
Ed Uothory is willing to back the latter
to the extent of $100 or more for a 100-
yard race , provided there is a guarantee
that no hippodrome work enters into the
match. The probabilities are that the
contest will take place.
Mrs. Frank's Bomlsmon.
The fuss that was made nbont Mrs
Frank Hubor's bondsmen , when she
quietly left the city a few days ago , now
appears to have beun _ entirely uncalled
for. Tlio fact is Mrs. Frank was never
under any bonds wliilo o'n trial at Council
Hinds , charged with the ruin of the Mer
cer girl. When she was first arrested
she was placed under bonds to
appear for trial. She secured n
bond signed by J H. Rogers and L. Rus
sell , of Council lllnlTs. The city clerk of
the Hind's refused to accept the security
but Mrs. Frank was "allowed to go nt lib
erty , promising to strengthen the bond.
Shu never buttered the bond , and after
she had been bound over to. the district
court she quietly stole away , leaving the
lenient court without any security.
An Ear For n Thumb.
A bloody fight occurred ut the corner
of Fourteenth and Webster streets at 8
o'clock yesterday evening in which Mar
tin Riley had his ear chewed ofl'by a local
slugger , who rejoices in tlio name of
John Sullivan. The trouble grow out of
drunken quarrel. Martin Shields nnd
onu Quinlau started thu row and then
kept the crowd back while Riley and Sul
livan did the fighting. As a result of the
light Riley showed up at the police sta
tion about 11 o'clock with the major portion
tion of his left car missing. Ho said it
had boon chewed oil' by Sullivan nnd
picked up by n Swede girl who lives
near the scene of the fight. Report says
thai Sullivan lost a thumb in the conflict.
An information will bo filed against Sul
livan and his pals tills morning.
Up They Are Going.
Excavations for buildings and struc
tures in progress can bo soon on all tlio
principal stloots of the city , sometimes
ready tor enumeration on every square.
Ezra Millurd is about to build a business
block on tiio corner of llarnoy and
Eleventh streets. Sylvester Cunningham
lias purchased n alto for a building on
Harnoy between Eleventh and Twelfth.
Excavation is in progress for u fine struc
ture at the corner of Webster and Fif
teenth streets. The Hurker Hros. have
the foundation laid for a commercial
block and hotel on the corner of Jones
nnd Thirteenth , and the number of resi
dences assuming .n material form are
really too nu.ncrous to mention.
A. Cumiiif ; Street Ttunnway.
About 5 o'clock j-ostorday evening the

ganized a boycott on their driver ami
usurped right-of-way privileges- down

yield of small frnUs ii this vicinity , with
the exception of the -cherry and plumb
crop , both of whhjbrwill bo light. The
may bu said of apples , which must
have been injured by the late frosts. A
few days since wo enjoyed the pleasure of
brielly inspecting the beautiful fruitery
of W. H. Johnson west of thu city.
Those who think reil clover don't do well J
in this state ought to see ttm Jieavy c
growth which ho is cutting. It grows just 11
as roii"h on the high bluffs as on n level , J.
: tnd will yield two liQiivy crops this sea- '
son. The idea that white or red clover
won't grow well in this state is pretty
'
oll'octuaHyoxploded , Kvery farmer should
have clover pasture for his liogaj it saves
feed , keeps them in a healthy , growing
condition and enriches the land , Mr.
Johnson has the best kept grapp vines of
din'crcnt varieties that we have seen in
Nebraska. Tlio old vines are not over
loaded j but on Concord that were sot lost
year can be .counted from ten ton's high
as one luuulr'od bunched on u single-vine.
Tlns is remarkable. It shows that with
proper cnro nnd pruning it is an easy
matter for everybody to raise nn abund
ance of this healthful and delicious fruit.
The Snyder blackberry vines In his or
chard , and raspberries as well , bond be
neath the load of berries there will bo
bushels of thorn. A largo bed was fairly
red with mammoth strawberries ot the
Downing variety. Some of them were
ns largo ns peaches ,
To look at those grounds and the
swaying forest tree ? winch surround ono
of thu most delightful nnd romnntio
locations in this town and state , perhaps ,
commanding a view of enchanting
scenery , taking in the windings of the
sinuous Missouri and the contour of Iowa
binds , no stranger would dream that less
than twenty years ago the broad landscape -
scape was barren and uncivilized. Since
then all these trco embowered homes of
the busy city in the foreground hav o
been built. The barren , treeless plain ,
nnd parched blufl'sidc , covered with short
grass , glows with the grcciwsry of vege
tation , cros , thickets and foliage cool
the earth nnd ho beholds a terrestrial
paradise. "Surolv" is tlio exclamation ,

The Hog : Don't crowd your suckling
sow. Better keep her lean than to have
stunted pigs , Feed very ; little of the con
centrated foods , and give her as great
Yarioly as forethought can provide. If
you have ncirloctcu anything which
should have boon done make a note of it ,
5y it will hotcscapo your attention next
ycari "Don't let hgr have a picnic over
' lhb entire.farm , so she will trot her pigs
poor , but give her ample range and an
abundance of grass nnd clover. Rcmoin-
ibor 8hb 'should have plenty of exercise
'and ' 'oltatlo , plenty of pure water such
W\tcr \ as only the pump handle can bring

pigg go in witli nil fours. Feeders will
.Often , in thbj manner , bunch hogs of dif
ferent agcs'nnd sizes by grading the va
rious , openings so each lot will find its
proper place and get its proper bhare.
AVlmt n Oow Should Yield.
' Hoof and Horn : Something depends
ot\courso upon the kind of cow , but no
jCow Is a gdod one that does not yield
SGOO quarts of milk in ono year , or about
seven quarts.a day for 303 days. She will
bo dry -n portion of the time , and of
course yield more when fresh than toward
' .the close of her milking period , but she
'should not give less than seven quarts
; daily'for every day in the yoar. The
milk slibuld produce about two hundred
pounds of butter , or a pound to every
twelve quarts of milk , which , at 23 cents
a''l > ouid ) the whole year , would yield $50.
The value of the calf depends on its
urecdingwhile the skim milk fed to pigs
and tlio manure should realize at least
a$2Jr Inoro ' , making $75. Wo may safely
takc'onc-lialf for cost , leaving $37.50 ns
prolit. The sum fixed as profit , however ,
'may vary , ns the price of food is cheaper
in some localities than in others. Dairy-
.men dill or as to th > : amount of profit a
cow should give. Some claim as much
as $50 a year , but such dairymen sell the
iriilk directly to consumers at a fair price.
The fairest estimate is made upon the
practice of skimming the milk and rais
ing pigs , which will increase the profit ,
especially if'a goodbrecit of hogs be used
in connection with a first-class lot of
dairy cows.
Converting ; Corn Into Pork.
Farm , Field and Stockman : Pork and
corn scorn to bo inseparable articles. But
.unless . the corn is properly fed the pork
.will bo expensive. Corn and pork only
go together when it is desirable to fatten
tlio hogs. If corn is used in any other
'manner or for a. difleront purpose the
pork , becomes a. very expensive product.
Wo do not advocate feeding corn in the
sumiuaf to any class of stock , and expe
rience shows that while it is invaluable to
the pork raiser , pork can bo produced
more cheaply when the corn is fed in a
judicious manner , TMnny farmers , though
' , a'gcd , do riot know that clover hay can be
fed with advantage to heirs , and yet such
-is the fact. , Wo have long separated the
'Jhog frdniall ! other classes of stock and
denied him the privileges of being fed on
jrass , cut liny , ground oats and other
T oo'd that is more acceptable to him dur
ing his growing period than corn , and
the consequence is that lie fails under his
long-continued diet of corn , and becomes
useoptible to diseases that were before
Ainlcnown. * To keep the steer stuffed with
dry corn , which is n concentrated food ,
andd orjvu it of bulky provender of pure
'Vater , would cause it to succumb ina
"short time , yet this is just the treatment
rthat the , hog. is compelled to undergo ,
Bimply'bec'auBO "corn is king" and.sup
posed to.bp . cheap , when the fact is that
jwheafcd.imdar such circumstances it is
yo'py ' fcostly ; > * tVhut the hog requires is a
variety ; including bulky food , and corn
will then perform an important service.
* * Hints and Suggestions.
It is .said ( liat the pods of lima beans
, ro Injurious to hogs , though they may bo
fed freely to cows.
J The disadvantages of the ordinary sys-
Igrn. of setting milk in shallow pans for
.raiding1 eruani' are that u longer period
elapses before the skimming is complet
ed , too mncji space is required and in
summer the milk becomes sour bctoro the
whole of the cronm is raised.
The use 9'f pnris green on potatoes and
' " r thingftkl's ! many bees and insects
are useful and also destroys many
II birds.
It' is said that pyrethrum , mixed with
. re times its-bnlk'of plaster and dusted
'into the qonter of the loaves with a pair
of hollows , will destroy cabbage worms.
i > Uegarding' tlio dehorning of cattle , a
western paper says that experience
teaches ( hat the growth of the horn can
) > o stopped by applying a red-hot iron to
the horn germ in calves ,
tor the best egg production in heavy
fowls oats are as good feed as nny , They
give bulk , while the nutriment they con
tain is of the. kind which goes to mnko
eggs rather than fat.
Horses are not fully matured until 0
yeans of ago , nor do they arrive at their
full strength until 8 years old. Imma
ture animals are often overtaxed and
their future usefulness injured ,
Into n pound of soft soap dissolve ono
ounce of carbolic aoid crystals , and it be
comes an excellent remedy for lice on
animals when they are washed In warm
water with the aid of tlio soap.
After cutting , orchard grass springs
rapidly , nnd tlio aftergrowth is heavy.
This should not bu pastured during the
glimmer or fall , hut .should be reserved
for winter gra/ing. It should bo treated
us uboyo directed in thu case of tlio tall
meadow-oat gross.
Short hay crops mean cheap cattle m
autumn. But the farmer w'.io make.s
full provision for keeping can buy and
turn his fodder to good account not only
in sales.but in added value to the manure
pile.
Time intelligently given to bees will
pay equally well with that given to any
otlmr kind of farm work ; and where too
many are kept it may bo done at such
times as not to interfere with other important
.
portant work.
When a hoc becomes dull it retards
work because of tlio increased tax it im
poses on strength. Sharpen it by tiling
to ' a chisel edge. When sharp it works 15
m'uch moro effectively , especially when
there .aro weeds to bo cut ,
Iii selecting a sow for breeding cheese
ono that is.qujotni.id mild in disposition. B
She may be.tho ono that will lay on fat d
nioit easily , and it , will therefore bo neo-
o-ssary to feed .sparingly , buthe will be
all the better us a breeder for this. -
Ono of the advantages from harrowing
corn Is that a man with a smart team
will run over fifteen ncrcs or moro per
day. The smoothing harrow takes ix
widtli of cloven feet , and as only scratch
ing the surface is desired no lapping is
needed.
A cow. says the American Agricultur
ist , should have a clean skin in order to
give clean milk nnd make good butter
,
and that cleanliness cannot bo secured
except by tlio use of the brush and tlio
thorough removal of dirt nnd filth , which
should bo done before the cows are
milked in the mornlnc ana evening ,
The greatest egg producers are the
hens that are most liable to oat their
eggs. It seems scarcely possible for lions
laying almost continually to furnish the
material for the sheila. The dilllculty is
worse after a severe winter , during
which the fowls have have boon kept
from getting at the ground. When the
egg-eating habit is established no time
should bu lost in getting rid of the bend
guilty of it.
Mr. A. G. Tuttle , of Uaraboo , Wt9. ,
says he traps moths by placing shallow
pans of vinegar among the branches of
the trees , which attract the moths and
drowns them. His method is contrary
to the rule that sweet substances should
bo used for such purposes.
Mitko good use of the smoothing' har
row in tlio corn and ether culuvnled
fields. No tool in use will kill so many
weeds ns this , if used at the right timo.
It keeps down the weeds nnd Peeps tlio
surface mellow , the two prime necessi
ties in the culture of any crop.
Quito a number of plants , such ns car
rots , boots , turnips , salsify , parsnips and
that soil of vegetables , must bo grown
one year and the MUCK kept over during
the winter and set out in the spring , when
n now growth will start up and the plant
will mature seeds.
Mr. A. S. Fuller , the well-known horti
culturist , in relation to keeping fruits
says : ' 'The thin-skinned sorts , ns a rule ,
are poor keepers , while the thick-skinned
sorts may bo kept In fair condition for
months by packing in boxes and storing
the boxes in a cool place. "
When bees are swarming it is the old
colony leaving the hive and abandoning
the stores to the younger members. The
old queen goes with them , nnd they fcoc
a new location , with nothing for a begin
ning except what honey they till them
selves with as they take their departure.
If broken ricobo boiled with nno-third
milk and two-thirds water , adding ono
egg to each pint of liquid , and the mass
thickened with oatmeal and cornmeal
wliilo boiling , it will prove an excellent
diet for very young-chinks. It keeps
well and may bo crumbled very easily
when cold.
