7MIt\vnulcco Sliut Out.
For some tlmo "tho Chicago , Milwaukee &
BU Pnul has boon figuring on an entrance to
Omaha , and running solid trains In and out
of the unton depot.
Last week General Agent Nash , ot the for
mer road and representatives of thb Union
Pnollia root In Chicago for the purpose of ef
fecting such an entrance.
When the Milwaukee people submitted ,
their proposition , the officials of tlio Union
Pacific made n demand which fairly raado
the hair stand on the heads of the Milwau
kee folks. The former was willing to enter
Into the deal on the following terms : That
the Milwaukee pay a rental of $13,000
par year us n ooso of Interest on
$2,000,000 alleged to hnvo been expended In
the construction of the bridge ; that the rev-
cnuo accruing from the freight and nnsscn-
pcr business between Onmliu mid Council
Bluffs nli the Milwaukee bo turned over to
the Unton PucIIlo company : that the Milwau
kee pay the cost of hauling its trains
between the two cities , the Union Pacific
o use its own engine and crow , and that the
Milwaukee pay an established scale for the
same.
There were other charges heaped on of
minor importance , but so unreasonable ) were
the demands of the Union Paclflo considered
that the controversy came to a close.
A well developed plan for the construc
tion of a brldgo across the river In the north
part of the city or a trifle to the north of the
electric motor bridge has bcun brought to
light. A well-known capitalist and citizen
who is interested in the now project said :
"Wo are now gradually shaping matters
Which tend toward the .construction . of
n now bridge north of the motor bridge.
The people behind the now bridge project
ore substantial , and. our remedy is to
construct a bridga costing $100,000 , with
double track , and allow the Iowa-Chicago
lines to cross ever it. The money that would
bo required to construct a viaduct on Tenth
street could bo voted as a bonus to the now
concern. When this is done , then sir , wo
will demand that the Union Pacific forfeit
its valuable tract of land that was coded to
it under conditions that have grossly boon
ignored. " _ _
I/lvo Stock Kates.
Through private telegrams received in
Omaha , it was learned that the fight between
tbo Kansas City-Chicago lines ever the live
Block patronage at Kansas City has not been
ended through the agreement of the Chicago
cage , Milwaukee & St. Paul to hand ever a
portion of its llvo stockbusiness to its co'in-
potltors. The Milwaukee announced ls
Willingness to release its patronage in favor
of other lines , but added that in case the
shippers desired to transport their stock ever
that road , the request would not bo denied.
It now transpires that the shippers have
taken the matter in hand and come to
the conclusion that , by patronizing the Mil
waukee , a reduction would bo made by the
other lines , and as yet the live stock traffic
of the Milwaukee has in no way decreased.
Another theory advanced is that the Mil
waukee has been making overtures to the
shippers In tbo line of special rates , and that
it cut deep into the business without over
having been discovered. The telegrams an
nounce that in all probability a cut la live
lock rates will follow.

OPPOSING THE ASSESSMENT.
How Property Owners Want tlio Val
uation Changed.
Complaints against the rates of assessment
on property are commencing to come In at a
lively rate and uro being filed with the
county commissioners , sitting us a board of
equalization. The attorney for the Ezra
Millard estate , which was assessed In a
lump at $15,200 , protests and wants the
property divided into three parts , because it
isowned * by three individuals , and each de
sires to pay his own taxes.
W. L. Solby , who has an addition to South
Omaha , complains that his lots at 850 each
are assessed too high. Ho calls attention to
the fact that last year this rate was reduced
to $30 for inside and 510 for corner lots. The
same valuation is asked for now and on the
ground that lots BO far from the city are not
worth as much this year ns they were last.
Hugh G. Clark complains of the rate
which his property in the First , Sixth.
Seventh and Ninth wards is rated at and
wants a reduction.
The board was not in session yesterday.

rcct.
rcct.The
The omco work for the past year has been of Immense mapfnttudo , owing to the rapid Increasej
o f membership ana general prosperity of the Order , and It Is most gratifying to thoCoinraltteo ; to
be aslo to state that the olllccra have kepttlieir work promptly up , and everything in n business
like and proper manner. The clerical expanses of the management of the Order have been kontt
as low as consistent with effecllve work , nud the clerks employed are paid butmoderato salaried
Wo tlnd sixteen clerks employed from eight to six o'clock , all actively engaged In their respective
duties. In the viiultb of the ofllces wo found all papers and vouchers systematically and safely or *
rnnsert nud secured , and thn Supply lloora contained the suppllosns slated by the Supreme Trus
tees to be on hand. Wo reiterate the statement In our last Itoport that the good judgment of the
Supreme Olllcers bo commended In securing tno headquarters of the Order la&o central and prom
inent a location , and Inasmuch as the growth of the Oruor demands an increase of the f acuities la
Iho handling of Its business , wo suggest lo the Koxocutlve Commltto and Supreme ' .Crusloes that
they authorize the erection of an additional building on tno vacant lot adjoining the Homo Office
( and now belonging to the Order > , as the properly Is rapidly Increasing In value , and the noces *
slty of additional room seems apparent to your Committee.
SICK CLAIMS.
Wo find upon examination ot the "Sick Claim Department , " that all claims properly approve *
are paid with promptness. When claims ore delayed at the Homo Oince , It Is owing generally tC
thowantof additional proof required by the Supreme iicdlcal Director , and In muny cases slolci
claims are sent to the Homo OIHco Irregularly made out by the olllcers of the Local J ) run dies ana'
have to be returned for correction , which caubos n delay in their payment. Alt claims In proper
shape , are , by our personal knowledge ( obtained from the books of the ollico ) . paid within twenty
five days after being received

The general expensoi ot the Order for the past year have only been W8,421.08 , of which 814 03 *
have been expended In legal expense ? , showing actual business expenses to have been only JUUJffj.OB
In referring to thoabovo statement a-J to expenses ot the Order , we would call the attention
ot the members to the well-known fact that the Order IIS.B been forced Into expensive litigation la'
several States In its defense , which necessarily called for heavy outlays.
Notwithstanding this , the expenses of the Order , wo Und In comparison with other Fratornols
Oiders , have been much loss than any ot them , thus showing that this Order Is successfully
properly and economically managed ; and we congratulate the members on its management , whiott
has placed itns the loading llcnullclal Fraternity ot the day.
Whilst the Supreme Jubtlco has been actively nt work la the Hold , constantly traveling from
ono end of tlio country to the other , ai occasion required , nudsololy in the Interest of the Order ,
tlio bills , as presented by him , show only an outlay of ex ponies of 8 ,418,81'which ludmles ca *
fare , hotel expenses , telegraphing , postage , etc. , which we think Is extremely moderate. Thtt
amount lias boon verified by the Committee by itemized accounts kept by the tiaprcm *
Justice , and now on fllo In the oillce of Iho Supreme Accountant.
The Commltteo would further stale lhat , while they found the accounts of the Supreme Ac
countant uud Supreme Cashier coiract as stated , Iho cash balances on hand were fully verified ta
us by the reports from the banks whore said money was deposited.
. FINAL UDNUFITS.
We have examined all I iual Ileueilt Claims , and Htato that all payments have been regularly
made In accordance with the constitution and Luwa of the Order , and all Itollof Fund CertlllcateJ
have b'jen properly Indorsed , either by the benotlciary or legal holra.
In conclusion , your Committee congratulate tha membership everywhereon the present pros
perous rendition nft'ili grand fraternity , livery just claim has been promptly paid and every
obligation has been met. From tUo best Information obtainable at the onico , all suits now penfl.
Ing in several of the states , upon questions of legality similar to these which have boon soauo
