Mr. J. H. Kvans , of tlie City Steam laun
dry , on entering his ollice yesterday morning
discovered a queer state ot affairs. Ills safe
door was blown open , and the papers and
documents which ho had left locked up the
day before wore scaUcied over the lloor. A
small hole had been bnred through th'j door ,
and the pieces of the broken combination
lock told tlio tale. The place had been bur-
glail7cd. It vvas found thr.t about one hun
dred and llfty dollars In cash bad been
taken , together with about seventy-live dollars
lars In checks. Payment on thn latter has
t been stopped.
* " Tlio police were notltlcd and several ofllcers
Investigated the srenu ot the burglary. It
was found that the cracksmen had entetuil
thiough the back door , and bad tliun , by
means of n "jimmy , " pried open a middle
door loading Into the ollico.
Tlio work which was done on tlio afo
shows that the fellows were e.vpert at their
business. An employe of the laundry , who
Blrpt upstairs , says tliat ho vvas awakened by
n stranuo nolso alter midnight , but supposing
that U was the cracking oL the steam piped
p.ild no attention to it.

How Many ofThoiu Live on thn lllvcr
Itanlc In Utiinlm.
Uj The long-continued cold weather which lias
flr for weeks prevailed In Omaha , has been
| | i the cause of sulferlng and want to many of
the poorer people of the city. It found them
scantily supplied with clothing , fuel or
means to purchase either to enable them to
pass the winter without experiencing the
misery which goncrally results tiom lack ot
thrift , or misfortune" Several hundred fam
ilies of tills kind are now being supplied
with necessaries by Poor Superintendent
Ilahoney , at the expense of the
county. Many of these families are
Bquattors upon tlio bottoms. They live in
shanties , of the Ilimstcst nature , gcncially
liullt by themselves , and patched with nvery
kind of contrlvanre to keep away the cold.
Into these are huddled tamllles sometimes
containing as many as ten people. They
nro all poorly clad , and some of them are
prone upon a bed of sickness. They seldom
stir out except to snatch a piece of wood or
coal from a scanty pllo to keep allvo
the miserable coals which give warmth to
their poor abode. Yesterday a UKK rcpoiter
was called to the bottoms and found a case of
wretchedness whleli islseldom experienced. A
family o ( seven vvas living in a hole in the
ground , of about eight feet square. To enter
it one had to make a descent Which jeopard
ized Ids neck. The hole vvas covered with
ncanvas top. In the middle was a stove ,
which monopoll/ed the greater part of the
room , the e.\istoncoof which would not have
been noticed had It not been tor the feeble
light which the coal emitted. Thn place was
dark and noisome. Uy means ot u mateh
tlio reporter discovered a bundle ot rags at
.one end of the hole , and buried In these vvas
a woman , Immovably sick , with a newly botn
Infant by her side. She had been ill lor
ilueo weeks and In that time had not been
able to raise trom her rags. To aggravate
her misery she had but a fovv hours bolero
sent her eldest daughter to the river to get a
bucket ot water. Iho child did not return ,
blio fell into tlio sticam , tlio current carried
Ser under the lee , never pothaps to bo lound
azaln. This accident tilled to ovotllowlng
iho poor woman's anculsh so much so the
h reporter was compelled to withdraw from
the miserable place.

IUOYCLE NOTES.
Eelt Leaves for Denver BuIlocU'a
Great , Work.
T. Vf. Eck left yesterday morning with his
trainer and backer , Carlisle , for Denver ,
.where this week ho will engage In a couple
of races. Ho will return In time to qo into
tialning for his race with liullock , two weeks
hen co.
The latter Is coming to the front In wonder
ful shape and promises to develop into a star.
Ho is aheady able to down men who claim to
bo tlrst class professionals. Ills triends
claim that In his 100-mile race with Kck lie
will notonly give that man n hard run , but
stands a good chance ot boating him. Ho Is
training dally on the exposition bulldlnc
tr.ick , Is working haul to keep himself In
condition and Is altogether in excellent trim.
Yesterday morning ho took a practice spin of
twenty miles about the track , ac
complishing tills distance In exactly ono
hour , lour minutes and thirty seconds , or six
seconds better time than that made by Prince
nnd Eck on Saturday night for ono mile moro
than the same distance. This , too , was done
without any ono to coach him or set the pace
for him.
It now develops that through a mistake In
scoring Prince and Eck on Satuiday night
ran -1 miles or 215 laps instead of " 0 miles , as
they ought to have dono. The time made
for tills distance w.is one hour , four
minutes and twenty-six seconds. This
would make the tlmo made tor the -0-inlles
ono hour , one minute and tinny
seconds. The mistake was not
discovered until too late alter the
rofeieo had given his decision. As to all ap
pearances the stipulatedtlmoof ono lionrand
three minutes had not been made , the retereo
ordered an equal division ot the cato re
ceipts and decided tliat the stakes ot SCO a
side must bo i etui nnd to each man.

The real bone of contention is the changi
made by the Douglas county delegation re
quiring the taxation of HIP property of rail

t.amo as the property of individuals Is ta\ed
This. 1 believe , can bo demonstrated to tin

coining tlio board of public \\oiks , and tlu
objections umed to a few other sections
seivo as n pretext merely for the fusillade
now being made upon the charter by the iall
loads , their attorneys and representatives ,
vvhilo the leal object of defeating the chattel
Is to piuvent the just , taxation of railway
property for niiinlrlual purposes. Mr. l'o | > -
pli-ton , thu able attorney tor the Union
I'.iullic Itnllxvny company , is upon iccoid as
favoilni ; tlio chatter as pcitected and av )
moved by tlio committee of Huron. It was
at his instance that the eomhiltlcc was subse
quently called tozethci , and n icsoliilinn
adopted utgini : thu passauc of thu chatter as
it left the hands of thti committee.
What , then , were the chances made by the
di'lcuation , \\liicli.Mr. . I'opttleton objucledl
This Is the question ho failed to niisvvcr ai
the cltl/ens'meeting , for tlie very uood rea
son tliat thn only cliaiiRo ho dors ur eonltl alt-
jcct to. istliat relating to railway taxation ,
and with re atd to this chance lie knew full
well that It Is jtiht and light and that his on
position cannot , with tairness , bu defended.
Permit me to MJI forth the chatigu lelcrted
to. It Is as follows :
"Upon the completion of such copy of said
assessment roll the city eleik shall add to
said roll nny and all real estate In said city
belonging to any railto.id or telegraph com
pany , and not appcarlnc on the enmity loll
by reason ot having been letmiicd to the
ptato board , or otherwise , and assess tht !
same , as near as may be , to coi respond with
the assessed value of lilo pinperty on said
countj loll , lot ( lie purpose ot taxation lot
municipal purposes , and such as-essment
shall bo .subject to mi equalisation bv tlio city
council , the same as oilier utoperty when sit
ting as a bo.ud ot equallration. "
Fiom the foregoing piovtslon It will bo ob
served tliat tlio cltvclcik Is required to mid
to thu city tax roll , which Is copied liom the
county tav roll , all real estate In the city be
longing to any rallioad or lelcgiaph com
pany , lor tlio { impose of city taxation , the
assessment to cuncjpoiul as near as possible
with other llko propeity.
Wherein Is thu injustice ot this piovisionV
Js it not just and rluht that thu real estate of
lailroad and telegraph companies , lyln
\\itlnn the corpotatu limits ot tliucity , should
bear its propoition of taxation the same us
other proncitj' ' Is not the proputu of the
railway and telegraph companies within the
limits of thucitv piotected by thu municipal
goveinmenl and saved from loss and destina
tion by the pollco and lite dopaitmetiN , the
same as the pioperty of Individual eitlzensV
it is not miinllestlr vvionir and unjust that
the Union I'aeilici.Uliorm company , upon 1H
entire light ot way , depot giounds ami side
tiaeks , coveiing u vast number of lots , in
some eases entiio blocks , agmegating In
value upwards ot two million dollais , should
pay a city tax less than is paid by thu two
principal hotels ot our eiUV I have taken
the pains to examine thu u-coids in the city
ticasiuer's ollice , and lind that upon all piop-
citv above specified , the Union Tacilie p.ivs ,
under the present mllciuo sjstem , exietly
2,41" , which does not ernial the sum paid by
tlio I'nxton and Milliard hotels.
Any othur tax paid bv thn Union I'acllic
railroad Is upon the bridge , its olliccs ami
real estate disconnected trom its lines ot
road. As a mattei of light and faiiness , ac-
coiding to thu present sjfetem 01 assc.sbinent.
the S3,000,0X ( ) ot property refeired to should
bo assessed at about one-fourth its value , fia\
SIOO.OOO. TliH picsuiu ratool city taxation
upon the assessois' valuation , is about three
pi'i eont. T'lls ' would make thu city tax ot
the Union J'ncllic railroad lor tlio j.ioperty
mentioned about 515,000 , and It would then
buappioximatcly coneut ; wheieas , It is now
an outrage on cveiy taxpayer In the city of
Omaha.
The unjustness of the present system ol
railway taxation does not apply alouo to the
Union I'acihc tallroad , but applies witli
equal If not irrcater loice to bomo of the
other lines of lailroad.
Unless thu ehansu In the charter as pio-
poscd bv the delegation is made , the liell
line will soon become a part ol the .Missouri
I'.iellle , and tlio largo number .ot lots pur
chased and condemned foriailio.ul purpose
will bo stiicken fiom the city tax toll , as has
bucn donu in tliu rase ot thu Union i'acilic
and 15. te.M. lailroailb , ami thu binden by
leason ot the non-assessment of such lot'
will bu put upon the piopeity of other tax-
paveisol thu city.
The tax list in the office ot the city tieas-
uici shows the cancellation of a laue num
ber ot lots listed tor taxation , on the ground ,
as I am informed by thu city tieasmci.'lhai
the lots have been acquncd by the railroads ,
and thctotoic claimed to be retuini'd as mile
a e , and consequently not assessed. When
it K conflicted that n vciy laigu part ol the
right-ot-way occupied bv tailroads is in the
public stieets , which aio not subject to taxa
tion , It woiihl seem to bo iskingllttloenoiit ; !
that taxes on lots and depot buildings should
bu paid.
Tholalluro to pass the present chatter bill ,
In my opinionwill be n sieat calamity to 0111
city. For this icnsoii I have , to thu liest ol
my ability , resisted the opposition , tor Icl

THE PROBLEM SOLVED ,
People often express surprise at tJie rapid growth of our business ami
look for the explanation in some Jiiddcn cause. There is none , Simply
careful , patient and determined effort , that all we sell shall be right-in
Q UAL1TY , right in STYLE and right in PRICK. Think ofwliat w6
Jiave been saying and then look at our Clothing a ndFnrnisJiiug Goods.
Just now , ivliilc dealers generally arc taking a rest , onr cstubUsJi-
ment is besieged ivitJibuyersfrom morning until night. The reason
or this is people are tahing advantaye oj tlto opjiorttiutfy in scleclin < i
front an elegant supply of first class gottls at One-third less than actual
va.lt te.

nishhig GootlSf stul goes on and will continue nottvitlistanttiitt/ li.w
