The chauiploiislilp season of the Western fusocltiUon opens this nftcrnoon with the local team pitted against the Minneapolis Iwys , nnd thcro Is every prospect of n close and exciting contest. The team from the flour city took two games out t > f thrco from our hoys on their recent exhibition trip , nnd they nro loud In their brags that they will hnvo nn equal number out of their opening championship scries. On this point , however - over , they % vlll evidently taUo n great tumble , us the Omahas nro fully awake to the Im- portnnco of coming out on top In this opening Bcrloi. The only T ovett nnil Wilson will form the homo battery this nftcrnoon. mid it is safe to bank on victory , tjovcttis the orpunl to- flay of nny Uvirler In the country , nnd his presence In the box will RO along way townrd infusing the balance of the team with that ncrvo nnd confidence that always achieves ' Success.

Manager Sclcc , In an Interview with n BER reporter lost evening , said thut It would bo unjust to Judge the Omahas on the basis of their recent exhlbltory work. Cnsslan was fill out of condition and Ilcaly has been hardly nblo to hold his head up. Ho is n sick ) nan , nnd It was unreasonable to dxpcct nny effective work from him.

HOIIBC. WASHINOTON , April 27. On motion of Mr. Dunham of Illinois , the senalo amendment vas concurred In to the house , bill nuthoriz- ng the city of Chicago to crectncrlb In Lnko- illchlgan for wntcrwork purposes. The house adopted n rcsoldtion calling on ho secretary of the treasury for information relative to the seal fisheries in Alaska. The house then went into committee of the vholc ( Mr. Springer of Illinois , in the chair ) on the tariff bill. Mr. Brewer of Michigan , gladly welcomed ho UHUO presented by the pending measure. 'ortho three years of democratic ndmiiils- ration the democratic party had played fast md loose on tlio great tariff question , until ho necessities of government had compelled ho administration to takosomo decided posl- lon , nnd ho honored the president for mvlng forced hts party to stop Its double oallng and dcflno its attitude. Ho then ad vocated the protective system. Ho wanted o see that system continued which had mnda his hind grow and prosper beyond all others. lo was especially earnest In his opposition to the free wool clause , which ho said would uln that Industry. Mr. Ford of Michigan said the question ircscnted now was one of tariff reduction , tot abolition. Congress had no right to tnka ho part of n few manufacturers against tlio ; rcat body of consumers. But that was Just vluit had been dono. No Industries showed moro poverty , inoro destitution and moro trlkcs among their workingmcn than these o-callcd protected ones. Ucferrlng to tlio claim that the homo market was the best nnrkct , Mr. Ford said that ns a result of this ionic market swindle the farmer was most beautifully deluded. The high tariff party gets his money and the farmer gets the hot end of the poker. Ho attributed the oxist- cnco of pools to the continuance of the high nnff. Mr. Goft of West Virginia epoko In opposl- lon to the bill. President Cleveland's cold blooded Indifference to the benefits of the icoplo was entitled to precedence over nil ho emanations from the executive mansion n all our history. With such a spirit as President Cleveland exhibited , dominating almost with a single Impulse the democratic ildo of the house , ho ( God ) would save our Industries and our homes. Tlio Mills bill was conceived by minds impregnated with iconomic viclousncss. It passage would bo ho death-knell of protection. While it was lot all that its friends hoped for , it was in the line of legislation "they long had sought , and mourned because they found it not. " If they succeeded now they proposed next year to take another stop and gradually but rtiroly the people were to bo marched into , ho camp of those who contended for a tariff Tor revenue only. That system , as far ns abor was involved nnd our industries wcro concerned , was as bad as f roe trade. The > coplo had been deceived in the last presi dential campaign by the declaration that Cleveland was n protectionist. The hand of 2sau would bo offered again , but the people , vould not again be deceived. Tlio pcoplo iad at lost found out the democratic party. In conclusion ho said that the protective system had enable the government to perfect n system of finance , which was the marvel of .ho ago. It had fostered our Industries , built up our manufactures , nnd opened up our wildernesses. It had dignified our labor nnd educated our pcoplo. It had made the flag of our country typical of that which , was great In human thought , and God only knows what It would do for our land if the democratic rarty would lot It alouo. Mr. Landis of Illinois submitted an argu ment in support of the bill and in opposition to the protective theory. While heartily ad vocating the bill ho regretted that it touched the whisky nnd tobacco taxes , which , instead f being1 reduced , should bo Increased. The committee then rose and the house ; ook n recess until 8 o'clock p. m. : the evening session to bo for the consideration of orivatc pension bills. Army News. WASHINGTON , April 27.

THE SOUTH OMAHA BUDGET , Oouncilmon Entertained With o Complicated DOB Suit. NCREASE OF SALARIES VOTED. Hut tlio City Too Poor to Pny For Much Needed Pirn PIiiRS Other Uusliir.sM Trans acted City News. . . < * South Omnlm'fl City Council , Council proceedings were a little varied nit night , and Instead of the usual Introduo .lon nnd orchestra , the members wore treated o n dog fight not the regulation kind of n dog fight , but ono in which the life of a dog LV.IS nt atako nnd the dog lost. It had bitten n boy and the boy wanted it killed. Judge louthcr was In the major's chair , nnd ns the ncmbcrs came one after another they glanced urtively nt his honor nnd then disappeared. They didn't realize for n tlmo that ho was only trying a dog case , but It looked ominous nnd they loft. When the case was finished ho Judge lined the dog $5 nnd costs nnd sen- cnccd the owner to bo shot. Then ho saw hat ho had made n mistake and he sentenced ho dog to bo shot nnd lined the alleged owner < 5 mid costs. W. S. O'ICeofo explained that ho owner didn't own the dog and was fined 25 for contempt of court. Another man hreatenod to wring the neck of the boy that aid he was bitten nnd ho got run lu , but all ho cases wcro appealed. While they wcro looking for bonds .tho council chamber was surrendered to the council , nnd as Marshal McCrnckcn was not hero Mayor Sloan called them to order. The roll was called nnd the minutes were read vithoutnny disturbance , nnd then thn mem bers settled down to straight business. The call for standing committees brought out Councilman McMillan , who reported fnvora- > ly ou thirty-two applicants for licenses nnd cforred four for further consideration. Tor the finance committee the same council man reported that the police were owed about SS37 , nnd thought they ought to bo > ald. Councilman Smith , for the lire and water committee , reported that the lire plugs nsked for by the Omaha Pecking company wcro badly needed , but the finances of tlio city would not allow of them nt present. They also reported In favor of establishing ho grade on I street between Twenty-fourth and Thirty-fifth streets , nnd then putting n the plugs as soon as possible. Following Ire and water came gas , and on behalf of his committee Councilman Bnyllss reported 'avorably on thrco ordinances , No. GO being read n second timo. The company asked too much , and nil the thrco ordinances wcro laid over for a tlmo. Then came "tho salary ; rab , " nnd a new ordinance was read raising the mayor salary 5200. the conncllmon $250 each , the clerk $200 , the city attorney $250 , the city engineer $200 , nnd leaving the hard working city treasurer , policemen and Jailer ns before ; only the Jailer is to got , 25 cents > cr meal for meals furnished to prisoners. The salaries as they were , and as they will je , read as follows : Formerly. Now. Mayor $ 300 $ GOO Councllmcn GO 300 Clerk 800 500 ity attorney 250 500 Engineer. . " 300 500 Total $1,200 $2,300 Increase , $1,100. This was evidently satisfactory , for It was noted that not n single member voted against , t , although the treasury cannot afford to supply fire plugs whore they are admittedly necessary. Still $1,100 per year Is not much when It is divided among city officials , so to raise the amount an ordinance was read , asking house holders to number their houses nt a cost of from 25c to 50c each. If they don't they'll get fined , and If they do "Mr , Driggs" will charge 25c for telling them what their numbers should be , nud then sup ply numbers at 25c or GOo extra. Thcro was considerable discussion about it , but as no ono could explain definitely whether the ordinance meant to supply numbers , information mation and all counectcd with it for 25C or for moro or for less , it was put nnd carried , and no ono knows whether it will cost 25c or $1 to get n number on his house. Tlio only thing certain Is that each house must bo numbered at the owner's expense , and that It must bo done within sixty days or render the owner liable to n line of $20. Then it was decided to charge real estate men a fee for the privilege of selling town lots , and ordi nance No. 05 calls upon them to put up $100 or take down their shingle. The alternative is a $10 to $50 fine or thirty days in the county Jail. It was referred to ttio ordinance coiu- uiitteo. Special committees had nothing special to report , except that ox-Encinccr Meyers had boon paid , and that ho had turned over the plans aim profiles the city wanted so badly. This let the council breathe moro frocly , and they good-huinorcdly consigned the petitions of James Maloney , Ncls A. L > undgrcn , B. A. Finnerty and John Fullon. who wanted to Join "tho force , " to the police committee. Councilman Baylts started n discussion on the subject of appointing a city scavenger , and ns the opinion was unanimous thut sucli nn official was badly needed , it was referred to the ordinance committee. Under the head of communications Marshal McCrackcn communicated the fact thut ho had suspended Officer Al Keenan for coming to roll call any time ho wanted. A motion to allow H. C. Bostwick $ T > 0 law expenses for suing the city on his own claim was opposed by Councilman Bayllss , who thought it wasn't necessary for him to BUO the city. Besides that , Mr. Bostwick had been allowed interest on his claim , which was sufficient. Although it was proved that he hud gene to considerable trouble to help the city through its financial straits , the mo tion was voted down. Then it was learned thut the policemen would Imvo to pay ( ns their salaries wcro included In the Judgment ) if the council did not , nnd the vote was re considered and the original motion carried. Then thcro was trouble. Councilman O'Hourko said some of the city teamsters had refused to work till they know when they would got paid. It was a conundrum , for no ono could say when. Councilman Smith suggested thai , the saloonkeepers be charged 3100 occupation tux , and brought Councilmen Burk , O'ltourke nnd Kaffcrty to the rescue. It was finally decided that nil lines of business bo charged a tax , and the attorney was instructed to draft the neces sary ordinances. Smith , McMillan , Feiino nnd Bayllss voted yea , nnd Burk , Uafforty , O'Hourko and Pelton , nay , the raavor giving the casting vote and declaring tlio motion carried. James Maloney nnd Thomas Brennan wcro then appointed members of the force and duly sworn in , after which considerable tlmo was taken up in talking over the license Question. It was decided that the license committee meet to-morrow to examine the bonds and petitions , after which tlio meeting adjourned. _ _ _ _ _ What to Pay Taxes On. Thcro seems to bo a lack of information ns to wbnt amount of property taxpayers should pay taxes on. For general Information the law on the subject Is given below , but It maybe bo stated thnt on account of the heavy state tax , tlio custom heretofore has been to assess at about one-third the value. What the ns- sessors will do this yenr remains to bo seen. The statutes read as follows : Personal property shall bo valued as fol lows ; First All personal property except as heroin otherwise directed , shall bo valued at its fair cash value. Second Every credit for a certain sum , payable cither in money or labor , shall bu valued at a fair cash value for the sum so payable ; if for uny ar ticle of property , or for labor or service ol any kind , it shall bo valued at the current price of such property or sorvico. Third- Annuities or royalties shall bo valued at their then present values. Real property shall be valued c * follows : Fu-bt Each tract or lot of real property shall bo valued at its fair value , estimated at the price it would bring at a voluntary sale thereof , where public notice had been given , and a payment of one-third cash , and the bal ance secured by a mortgage on the tuoperty , Second Leasehold estates , including leases of school and other lands of tlio state , shall bo valued nt such a prlco ns they would bring nt a fair voluntary sale for cash. Third Where a building -structure owned by a lessee , U located ' on land leased from nnothor , the snmo ahall bo valued nt such n price as such bulMNnpror structure would soil nt a fair voluntary saks for cash.

' A WONDERFUL TUNNEL , The lioiiRcst In the World , nnd It ivns Berlin o'Centnry Aero. An engineering' work that has taken jvor a century to construct can hardly [ nil to ofTorsoino points ot interest in its liistory , and illustrate the inarch of events during the years of its progress. An in stun cc of this kind is to bo found in a tunnel not long since completed , tmt which was commenced over onahun- dred _ years ago. This tiinnol , or adit , ns it should bo more strictly termed , is atSchemnitz , in Hungary. Its construc tion was agreed upon in 1782 , the object being to carry off tlio water from the Schomnitz mines to the lowest part of the Gran valley , . The work is now complete , and it forms the longest tunnel in the world , Ijoing 10.27 miles long , or about ono milo longer than St. Gothard , and two ind a half miles longer than MontCcnis. The height is 0 fcot 10 inches and the breadth 6 feat inches. This tunnel , which has taken so long in making , has cost very nearly a mil- ion Htorling , but it appears to havobecn well spent ; at least , the present gener ation has no reason to grumble , for the saving from being able to do away with water raising appliances amounts to jC15OOOayoar. There is ono further point , however , worth notice , for if wo have the ad vantage of great-grandfathers in the matter of mechanical appliances they certainly w ere better oil in the price of labor. The original contract for the tunnel made in 1782 , was that it should bo completed in" thirty years and should cost J27 per yard run. For eleven years the work was done at this price , but the French revolution en hanced the cost of labor and materials to such an extent that for thirty years little progress was made. For ton years following much pro gress was made , and then the work drooped for twenty years moro until the water threatened to drown the mines altogether.
