They Arc Not Tn.r Shirkers.
The trouble that has grown out of the
omnplalnt.s made by A. C. Head , rcpro-
icnllng the K , of L. of Omaha , against
the assessment for taxation of the personal
property of a number of the leading job
bers and business men of the city , culmi
nated yesterday aflernoon In n meeting
it the property owners complained of
bnforo the county commissioners. An in
teresting and exciting meeting resulted
in producing evidence which should
effectually disabuse the public mind of
the opinion that the jobbers and mer
chants of Omaha do not pay taxes pro
portionate to the business conducted by
them.
Tlio board hud issued a request for all
of tVj parlies complained of lo bo pres
ent at the conference , If such it may bo
termed , and representatives of the job-
Jing trade and capitalists responded to
* Vthe request.
t j. E , nevi ) .
< Tire lirst parly called was Mr. J. E.
IloyiS , whoso personal property Is as
I < sessed nt $17,8SO. Mr. Hoyd was sworn
by County Clerk Ncodham , us were allot
ii the witnesses , to answer such questions
na might be asked by Iho board of com-
tnibsioners. Ho was asked by Commis
sioner Corliss upon what basis he calcu
lated the value of Ids property in return-
Insr his assessment. Ho replied :
"I listed all of my property , subject to
t\xjition : , at moro than one-third of Its
cash value. "
"Mr. Hoyd , what are the boilers and
engines in your packing house worth ? "
asked BIr. Uoad.
"I will answer no questions from you ,
sir , " replied Mr. liojd. "If the commis
sioner ) ; ask mo 1 will answer them. " In
reply to the question that was then asked
by Mr. Corliss , Mr. Hoyd replied that his
boilers mid engines were not worth moio
than 5,000 , though they had been re
turned us assessable at $2,000 , moro than
one-third of tlioir actual valuo.
Mr. Read was not in the least troubled
about his failure to make a point out of
, . his first man and quietly awaited tlio
progress of the Investigation. The next
witness culled was
fr. v. D. MAun ,
representing the dry goods firm of
Tootle , Maul & Co. , which is assessed at
§ 150,001) ) . Mr. Maul said his linn's stock
would not average over $ liO,000 ! , and
to onset this they held uncoiled-
able bills that would reduce their
taxable property to $100,000. He there
fore asked that their assessment bo re
duced from ifno.ooo to $ : ! 0,000.
"You are undoubtedly assessed too
high if that is the case , " chimed in Mr.
Read as he saw his second prop fall.
CAUL A. FIUKD ,
of the firm of Lee , Fried it Co. , assessed
at $18,000 , was next called upon. Mr.
Fried said lie had calculated on returning -
, ing his property to the assessor at about
one-third of its estimated valuo.
W. OAMiAGIIUK ,
of tno linn of 1'uxton & Gallagher , as
sessed at SiO,215 ? ! , was called. Ho said
tliat the personal property of the linn
had been assessed at more than one-third
of the cash valuo. The stock invoiced at
, $1151000"6nTanuary"l anil was now less
than at that Unie.
Mr. Read cut the fourth notch in his
stick on the failure side.
JOHN S. 11KAOV ,
of the firm of McCord , Brady
& Co. , said his firm's prop
erty had boon assessed for taxes at
about one-fourth thn estimated valuo.
The stock was assessed at $20,100 , and
would invoice less that $1,000,00.
HUKMAN KOUKT/.i :
was next called Mr. Kountzo is assessed
at ? 2,700. He said that this was on mon
eys and credits on hand on April 1. His
household property vyus assessed in his
wife's name nnd His DankHtock under a
separate assessment.
"Did you hayo no notes secured by
mortgages ? " asked Mr. Road.
"Nothing taxable , " was the reply.
"No bonds' ? " pressed the complainant.
"I had a large sum of money in gov
ernment bonds which wore not subject to
taxation , " was Mr. Kouutzo's reply.
The reply was apparently satisfactory
to Mr. Read , and ho quieted down as
A. j. HANSCO.U
was called to the stand. Mr. Hanscom's
personal property is assessed at $1,830 ,
of which $ lpr > 0 is money and credits. Mr.
Hanscom said ho aimed to pay as much
taxes upon his personal property as any
man i and considered his property assessed
at between ono third and one-lifth of its
valuo.
"Tho returns show you assessed of
money and credits in the sum of 81,050.
is that right ? " asked Mr. Read.
"Tho returns would indicate that ,
„ wouldn't It ? " sharply replied Mr , Hans-
coin. "That ought to satisfy you. I pay
my taxes and you don't yours. "
"W. J. llllOATCII
was next called. Ho is assessed on his
icr oiial property at $0,000. His stocK
invoiced on January 1 at $111,000. Hero
nn interesting scone occurred when Mr.
Read asked it the stock was larger or
j smaller on April 1 as compared with Jan
uary 1. Mr. Hroatch hotly replied that ho
l would answer none of 1 toad's questions.
' 'Read had been In his employ and had
, , boon guilty of acts that forbade him hav
ing any dealings or communication with
him. Mr. Corliss then repeated Mr.
Read's questions , and they were an
swered by Mr. Uroatoh , developing notli-
/Jug that changed his first statement. Ho-
- Wro leaving the stand Mr. Hroatoh called
the attention of the board to n few facts
that aronot conorally considered. "Oina-
, ha jobbers , " ho said , "aro five hundred
miles further from the base of supplies
than are the merchants of Chicago and
St. Louis , and consequently have to car
ry larger spooks in proporlion lomeot th6
wmmnda of their trade. The jobbers
here arc continually sacrificing a part of
their profits with a vlowof holding up the
trade. The jobbers of Omaha deserve -
servo much of the credit for the
prosperity of the city in general
and it comes with baU taste to hold thorn
up before tlio public us tax shirkers. "
Mr. Read hopped to liis foot and chal
lenged Mr. ISroatoh to show anything
wrong which ho ( Road ) had done while
in his employ ,
Alter lids skirmish was completed
A. I. . KIKLDS ,
of the firm of D.M.Sleolo & Co. , assessed
al flO.ittS , was called upon. Mr. Niolds
snid ha had returned the personal prop
erty of the firm for assessment at10 per
cent of its value , nnd therefore asked a
reduction of 10 per cent on the assess
ment.
n. o. TtiirLKTON : ,
-representing A , L Strung &Co. , said the
assessment was fully ouo-thlrd of the
value of the firm's stock if not more.
HILTON' HUOEU3 ,
tpf Milton Rogers it Son. said their stock
J'was nssossiid at moro than one-third ot
ha rcul value ,
M' . A. L. OIUUON ,
of the Jlrm of Kdnoy & Gibbon , said tlio i
-stock of Ids firm would invoice about t
eighteen thousand dollars , and they were i
assessed about ono-lifth of that amount.

HEAD IN' TI1K aWBAT'UOX.
The list of the property owners com
plained of having been examined , the
guns were turned on Mr. Read , who by
tins ( imo had begun to see how com
pletely he had failed of making n point
against any of the parties named in his
complaint. He was put through a vigor
ous questioning by tlio board and the
business men present about as follows :
Mr. Corliss 1'ou have looked over the
assessment for 1880 , for this county ;
how does the assessed valuation compare
with the actual valuation ?
Mr. Read In the county the properly
Is asscssi'd at about one-quarler of its
value and at about one-fifth of its value
in the city.
Mr. Corliss Is there any distinction in
the assessment ot the property of the
poor and the rich ?
Mr. Read Not that I noticed espec
ially.Mr.
Mr. Shelton At whose Instance did
you make Ihese complaints ?
Mr. Read I am a member of thn joint
executive committee of the Knights of
Labor. A sub-committee made a report
thai great irregularttjoxlslcd in the as
sessment , and suggested that the matter
bo looked into , i was employed to look
the mutter up.
Mr. Shclton Why did you cite only a
few of these men hero who have been in
strumental In building up the city ?
Mr. Road 1 had but a short time to
look the matter up , and so selected the
names of men whoso property 1 thought
was assessed too low.
Mr. Sliultou liy what right did you
form such n conclusion ?
Mr. Shelton IJy llio right of a free
citizen of this country.
Mr Shelton Uh , hill ( contemptuously ) .
Mr. ICountzo Uo you think , then , Mr.
Reed , that n real inequality exists ?
Mr. Read Not to tlio extent that I
first Imagined. Still a great inequality
exits. I blame no one tor it. It is the
result of a loose practice that has ob
tained for years.
Mr. Kountzo Does the inequality exist
to a greater extent among the moil cited
hern than among any other cla s ?
Mr. Read Xo , sir. iam satisfied from
the evidence that has boon pro.MMitiul hero
thai most of these men are assessed too
high.
Mr. Kountze You think tlio inequal
ity is promiscuous then , and docs not
exist in any special class.
Mr. Read It exists as much with ono
class as with another.
Mr. Kountzo Have you not admitted
that you took thonames cited at random ,
without any knowledge of their actual
value ?
Mr. Read I admit that I took them
after u very hurried examination.
THE COM11AT DEUl'IlNS.
Another question had been lircd at the
now somewhat confused Read , and , be
fore ho could answer , tlio stately form ot
Mr. James Croightou was leaning over
the railing surrrounding the commission
ers' desk , and ho cried out :
"How long are you fellows going lo
take up your time listening to this d n
fool ? "
"Mr. Creighton. " said Commissioner
Corliss. ' "if you will como around here
and bo sworn as these other gentlemen
have , wo will ask you questions about
your assessment. ' '
"No , sir , " roared Mr. Creighton.
"When I am summoned by the board I
will come boforu them , but'l will ai > pcar
at the citation of no of who is
trying to villify the best citizens of Omaha.
Who is this man , for God's sake , anyway ,
that the board of commissioners will cite
the best men of the town to appear before -
fore him. Does the scoundrel live in
Omaha ? "
"Mr. Creighton , " yelled the now ex
cited Rpad , "what do 3'ou mean ? I call
on the board to shut your mouth or line
you for contempt. "
"You call on the board,1' yelled Mr.
Croighlon right back. "What right have
you behind that railing ? Ccmo out of
there. I demand it. "
"Mr. Creighton , " shouted Read , "you
will reach that point pretty soon where
forbearance will cease to bo a virtue. "
"Tho sooner the bettor , " shouted the
infuriated property owner. "Como out
of there , d n you , and I'll knock your *
head oil' . " Hero Mr. Crcighlon com
pletely broke down with rage , and seiz
ing his hat left the room , and was soon
followed by the other business men , who
failedwith the commissioners , to recover
from the surprise occasioned by the
matinee until the row was all over.
The board then took up tbo work of
equalizing tlio assessment.
Thus far Mr. Read's complaints
against too low assessmonte have resulted
only in having the assessments of the
parties complained of lowered instead of
raised , us desired by the complainant.
Three Cases Aeainst tlio City and Ono
Individual Action.
Three damage suits against the city
were filed in the district court yesterday
afternoon.
Sarah Jane Roberts alleges that she is
the owner of lot 5 , in block 7 , in the Im-
provomcutassoeiation addition to Omaha ,
at the corner of Eighteenth 'and Martha
streets. In 1833 she build n house on
this property and in other ways im
proved it. The city council ordered n
change of the grade of Eighteenth street
by which tlio street was raised forty-two
feet above the established grade. For
this change the plaintiff paid , under pretest -
test , a special assessment tux of $151. IJy
Iho change her access to Eighteenth
street has been cut oil'and her lot tilled
up. destroying shade trees , elc. . for which
she seeks dumugo in the sum of $2,000.

LIFE A SPECULATIVE RAGE.

Tlio Sttullos of Prominent Art
ists mid the Music Schools
Side
A brief visit of two tlys in Chicago re
vealed only the fact that oven that human
whirlpool can bo quiet. To those who
have broiled under a Nebraska sun , Chicago
cage , with its cool , moist temperature ,
would seem a sort of oasis in tlio desert ,
and . as far as bodily comfort is concerned
the perfection of a summer resort. Hut
Chicago people , like the o of most other
clllcs , are Infeclcd with the migratory
migratory restlessness that comes with
midsummer , and at this time of the year ,
Ihose whoso pockelbook makes it practic
able have taken themselves to various
haunts of idleness and ease. The neigh
borhood is well supplied with rcsorts.and
Green Hay and Wankcsha have become
the tompotury abiding places of showy
daughters and portly mammas , while pa
terfamilias down in the city is busy with
the mighty question of turning pork into
money till Saturday night comes , and
then ho joins Ids family for a clay of re
creation.
It Is n matter of surmise whether his
brief holiday is as welcome to the ma
chine of speculation that the Chicago
man of business becomes as the Monday
morning train that bears him back to his
congenial desk. To those who have stud
ied the faces of the great mass of business
men surging about Stale btrcot at 0 a.
m. it si-ems doubtful that anything can
usurp their devotion to grubbing ! imi
their deeply Imbedded respect for lucre.
The average Chicagoan is not a dude or a
slim. Ho hasn't time to coax his mus-
taclie : ' into a seductive curl or paste his
bang with bandoline , but ho is well
dressed , well fed and intensely respecta
ble. He has an air of solidity and sub-
&taneo that must fill the heart of the iin-
nocuious man with admiring wistfulncss.
lie is too preoccupied to be a masher , and
ho seldom looks toward icmlninity , however -
over alluring , unless he happens to stub
his toe against it. The fragments of his
conversation that lloat to the oar of the
passerby is all of corn , pork and : spue-
ulation. The Chicago female of wealth
in scarcely less material than her
husband. She is seldom handsome , for
beraity seems to luvvo been sparingly al
lotted to those Hefjhlyj beings , and from
the window of hjjr close carriage slio
looks fat and ovbrfe/l , as if prosperity
had been lee mucJi tor her. 1 noticed
more pretty girls due rainy day on State
street than over before. , ' 1 hoy' were evi
dently of the middle class , and high liv
ing had not made i them run to adipose.
They were hurrying 'along in various
stages of discomfort and ilishovelment ,
but only one Spartan fumalo was notice
to possess heroism linougli to gather up
her skirts about her waist. The reckless
ness of the balance was due to the fact
that every awning was crowded by the
morbidly inquisitive of itheoppqsito sex of
ail ages and conditions from the vicious
baldnoad to the jeering -small boy ; from
the dude to the "iiiniu. . , , It jvas , su'd to notice
"
tice the precocity i > r "those boys of fifteen
in seeking out and1 commenting on the
ankles of the discomfited passers-by , and
suggested the evil inlliienee of metropo
lis life in misdirecting the young idea :
but children were ever imitators , and it
their grandfathers insist on setting tlio
bad example little can bo expected of the
sprouting generation.
Art circles arc very quiet just now , and
in tlio way of the thousand trifles of dec
orative art there is for once nothing new.
People seemed to have exhausted them
selves on woodenware , and there are few
of the rol'ing ' pins , shovels and knickknacks -
knacks of all description that used to
ci owd every fancy work stall. There are
as many "queer" artists in Chicago as
there uro boarding-house keepers , law
yers and theatrical agents. Show cases
and windows are gaudy with leurful and
wonderful abominations in lustra.
Dreadful peacocks that the proud barn
yard original would strut away from in
disdain , perched upon the high brunches
of trees that have no classification
in j the botanical kingdom , glare
at the shuddering passer-by till Ids eyes
actually blink. Inolleiibivo and inartis
tic littlirdaub.s of pansies and wild roses
on white doeskin , chutactcrlcss repre
sentations of winter scones on shovels
and butler bowls , arc part of the rubhish
that pretentious and inexperienced daub
ers force upon the public gaze. Yet these
cheap imitations are pftczi more siiccoss-
ful in a pecuniary sense than those
whoso real merit entitles them to honest
recognition. In that city of commerce
o'voryone who has taken half a dozen les
sons essays to lurn it to account in some
Way , if it is only in the way of lustra ,
aim us the only requirements for that
branch of decoration , I won't say art ,
'aro a solution ot bronzes and the capac
ity to follow a chalked outline , the prob
ability is that tliB-lnveiHor1 of lustra is re
sponsible for having launched many an o
artist upon the world who might Imvo o
found some useful occupation.
It wpulu not bo fujl * to muintuin that
Chicago has no real masters. In a stroll
through the studios some really moritori tl
oiis work was noticed , especially that of It
Miss Lizzio Tuck , a lady whoso natural
genius has bcgn thoroughly doyolopod in
the host schools of Europe , and twenty
years of practical experimenting. Her p
work is not of the Uashy French pattern ,
but id moro after the style of the old masai

HUNTING COMETS.
Nye Hrml at Work In Onler to
Secure a Prize.
Dr. Corner , Pioprietor of Corner's No
Plus Ultra Kidney Calmer , Jaspcrvillo , N.
J. Dear sir : 1 write to say that last
night I was so fortunate as to discover anew
now comet , for which you wore kind
enough to oll'or a prize of sf 100 last year.
As soon as I read your oiler I immediately
began to scan the heavens. I presume
that there isn't a square foot of the whole
sky that I haven't been over during that
time in search of comet.s. In January on
the early morning of the 2d , 1 Hunk ,
while going home after assisting in the
corcnionici of ushering in the now year ,
I discovered a comet of great magnitude ,
but on tiie following evening , when I at
tempted lo put my hand on it and
clarify it , ami draw on you for the prize
money , I found that it had evaded mo.
I now agree with my wife that it was an
optical illusion of the lirot magnitude.
Last week , however , 1 succeeded in
running ilpWn a large comet which hud
nev'er been used before. It was situated
in the constellation of Cussubiauca ,
about duo west of the Methodist church ,
as you lookout of my burn door.on a clear
night.
Its appearance is that of u largo nebu
lous body with a central condensation
and no tail. This is the only drawback
to my discovery. I an sorry to come to
vou with a tailless comet. Attcr the long
nights of anxiety and worry , I dislike to
co'hio to you , Doc , bringing a bob-tail
comet. I-will , therefore , throw ? 10 oil'the
amount you ollered. Send me postal
nolo for $1)0 ) , Doc , and the comet is j'ours.
You will find it where I have said if you
arc careful to observe my directions.
Had this comet been a success witli a
tail to it , 1 would have been glad to be
stow ray name upon it , never having put
my name on a comet , but I would prefer
not to name a mutilated comet after
myself. A man works lee hard to win a
deathless name to calmly see it put on a
nebulous and skittish bob-tail comet with
no record. I have hud wildcat mining
claims named for mo , and my brief but
contiguous cognomen will bo found hero
and there throughout the American
herd-book ; but when E plaster it on u
heavenly body i want it to bo attached tea
a good one.
1 am on the eve of discovering another
comet , however , to which I will not bo
ashamed to attach my name. 1 have
only partially discovod it at this time ,
but , as Hvrsuhol would say , thcro is a
hen on. I got a brief view of this comet
last night , but before 1 could secure it ,
numo it , and druw on you for the $100 , it
was gone. As the bank will bo closed to
night at the time the discovery will no
doubt bo in ado 1 have taken the liburty to
draw on you to-day on sight. If I do not
succeed in discovering the comet in tiinu
for Juno delivery I will return the money
to you. '
My first comet wns discovered in the
early : evening. It is not a brilliant
comet , but nithoi ; inferior in its appear-
unco. Its motions , also , are en-ratio , and
al times ainlloss. It has an elongated
orbit , with a largo hole in it. I hope that
this will make no ilifteroiiuo. however , an
is no fault of mino. I will agree that
it bludl not occur again.
1 hope some day to discover a comet
with a parabola to it. I have found a
place ! where ono of tho.su had been the
day before end dragged its parabola
across tjw milky way. What price do
vou oiler for a comet with a ptir.ibolti ?
AlHO , what will you give mo for u small
comat < in good condition , with
perihelion to it.
I found a llirht sorrel comet last year ,
but hud not completed the discovery and
filed on it before it disappeared for the
night. I learned the next day that it
was u comet with a largo orbit , nnd that
would not again return for thruo
thousand yours. ' The discovery was a
bonu < lido ono , however , and if you will
advance the amount of tlio prizu , it will
bo of great puouniary advantage to mo ,
and if it does not return on time , us I
have ; said , I will refund IA' money toyou
or ! your heirs with pleasure. This comet
hud u long heavy mime und lull , and
scorned tooo feeling first-rate. Its tail
was turned from mo when 1 discovered for
, but when I looked at It again 1 f > aw wo
that I it was turned this way. When I the
next looked at it , it was gone. Should
anv other astronomer find this comet do
and report i to you , I wish you would
ol | him that it belongs to mu. It Is
about the medium height , In u good
roadster , und wours its tuil at nn angle
about -15 degrees when in motion ,
It would drive well with Loxcll's comet ,
think , us they look very munh alike ;
but as Loxell's comet had a period of four Is
und a half yours and mine returns onen &
: three thousand years \yould bo hard at
get them together. Loxoll's comet has
escaped now , however. It got away in
1770 , and if it has ever returned It lias
changed so that no one recognized it.
I would rather discover comets for a
livelihood . . than to do anything dso , if it
did not keep mo from myfainuysomuch. On
Do you prefer a comet with a uudyiis ,
can you use ono with n puruballo hy-
pothepu&e to butter udvaut ijre Could
you ud u poem on tlio presidential nup-
tinls. I often write little poems of this
ctiamctcr while waiting behind a tree for

An Onerous ( irnln Tax.
Chicago Times.
Of Interest to export grain shipper. '
from Chicago via Now York is the state
ment that another effort Is to bo made at
Now York to remove the charge of 1 cout
pur bushel on grain passed directly into
ships from railroad companies' elevators.
Of all of the many and varied charges
which gram has to boar on its way from
the producer lo the consumer this 1-cont
tax is perhaps the most unfair. It cer
tainly is the most peculiar. The rail
road companies , especially the Now
York Central ami the Krio , really receive
no benefit from this charge , which came
into existence in July , 1882.
It owes its origin to one of those mys
terious methods of adjustment w hereby
pools step in and attempt to even tlio
disadvantages of ono port against the
prestige and bolter commercial facilities
of another , nnd the tax was imposed with
Iho object of favoring Philadelphia and
liultimoic. Chimney M. Depow , of the
Central , and llio agent of this Erie have
always bi'on ' opposed lo the impost and
llio freight representatives of the latter
undoubtedly slate the true facia in the
case when they say that the Now York
Central and the Krio yield-id lo these
charges under protest , claiming that , in
asmuch as not ever 20 percent of the
grain business handled by the two roads
at Now York was direct'from grain ele
vators to vessels , and the expense on the
oilier SO per cent of the grain was about
thrcu-quurtors of a cent higher than at
Philadelphia or Baltimore , they felt that
the imposition of tlio tax would prevent
vessels coming to the elevators lor ear-
goes ; but the Pennsylvania and Balti
more & Ohio roads demanded that the
charge should be made , and they were
forced to consent. In 183 : ! the. Now York
Central gave notice that it wished to can
cel the agreement , and a meeting of the
trunk line presidents was held to consider
the subject.
The protests of the Pennsylvania and
the Baltimore & Ohio were , however ,
again ; so urgent that the mailer wns laid
on the table , and practically nothing has
since been dono. Another application is
sie.l bo mad' , the New Yortc grain ex-
c.hungo having taken the subject up , and
the Pennsylvania and Baltimore it Ohio
are : again up in arms to prevent its being
accomplished. Verily the inner work
ings of a pool are a curious study.
American Cardinals.
IViKtcfhfu ( ( | ) Itccord.
The Catholic church in this country has
boon fortunate in having for its highest
representative men who have sprung
from the people. Though the polity of
the church is strictly democratic , in
Europe artistocratic birth , wealth nnd
the claims of long descent are sometimes
operating causes in the selection of
princes of the church. But hero the
leveling tendencies of the republic arc
felt not only in things temporal but also
in those that are spiritual. This fact is
emphasized by the elevation of Archbisop
Gibbons to the eardinalalo. The grocer's
boy of Now Orleans of forty year.s ago ,
the humble priest who donned the cas
sock fifteen years later , is now not only
invested with the power to create a
pontill' , but also , if the high conclave so
decrees , to sit in the chair of the fisherman
and wield that authority which once made
the thrones of Europe tremble and
changed the dynasties of Christendom.
Whether ns president of the people or
prince of a church , there .soems to be no
limit to the possibilities of American cit
izenship. And in the case in question it
will bo admitted by all that the honor is
well deserved. When the lirht American
cardinal died ho was regretted oven in 3
those circles where there was a wide di
vergence from his creed ; and all who
have over met with Cardinal Gibbons can
recognize tlio gentleness and simplicity
of his character and his admirable fit
ness for the oxerclso of largo powers , _
and unite in the hope that ho will long
continue in his exalted olllce. Mon are
coming closer together now than they
could have done fifty years ago. Wider
sympathy , more intimate relations anil n L
keener appreciation of the noccMsity , of
cultivating mutual regard are permeating
the body politic , and only those who cling L.
blindly to the traditions of the past can
fail to see the possibilities of the future.
