The Hoard of Equalization met yesterday
morning ) n the council chamber and suc
ceeded In undoing almost all It had done
In the last two weeks or so. C. U. J.tc-

Chapman and taonnril Everett had all had
their assessments raised , but they came In
with affidavits showing that thn board had
done wrong and the assessment's were
promptly knocked off.
The most Interesting thing about the
morning's session was In connection with
the aMejsmcnt of the banks of the city.
A.V. . Uelkman , cashier of the First Na
tional bank , came In with n paper In which
ho set forth that the board In assessing
his bank with $12,000 In legal tender notes
and $27,000 In United States bonds ,
both of which were exempt from taxation ,
had broken the law of the United States ,
*
which forbade discrimination against any
national bank. He called the atten
tion of the board to the fact that the as-
seri'incnt of the Citizens' bank had been re
duced by $0,000 on legal tender notes and
the Council HlufTfi Savings bank had had
$10.000 of United States bonds exempted ,
and then demanded-that the board reduce
the assessment df his bank by $8.000. at
least , or ho would lead the Board of
Equalization 'ft dance through the courts.
The members of the board spent fifteen
minutes Iii consultation , and sent City Clerk
Zurmuehlen 'and Alderman Nicholson In to
the council chamber to break the news to
President Sanford and Cashier Helkman that
they had taken back all they had done with
regard to the assessment of all the banks ,
and had decided to leave each bank right
where It was when Assessor Hardlu got
through with it. The assessments now stand
this way : Council Bluffs Savings , $30.500 ;
Citizens' State. Mfi.DOO ; First National , $21.-
300 ; onicer & Puscy , $15,000 ; Cattleman's
bank , $2,000.
The. assessment of the Omaha Bridge and
Terminal railway was allowed to stand ut
$30,400.

Pottawattamlc county will have fifteen
saloons this year , any way , for there were
that many bonds of $3,000 each tiled with the
county auditor yesterday by parties expecting
to engage In the business. The following
are the parties who have filed bonds so far :
Council Bluffs Max Mohn , with C. Straub
and \V. Fitzgerald as sureties ; John Mergen ,
with L. Klrscht and P. Tholl as sureties ;
Sullivan & Kuhl , with M. II. Kuhl and J.
Nanscl as sureties ; HanRcn & Nielsen , with
J. A. Harold and P. Jensen as burettes ;
Charles Muycox , with B. Hagg and J. Llmler
as sureties ; Wheeler & Hereld , with Lew
Hammer and Oscar Youngerman as sureties ;
Jacob Ncumayer , with John Clausen and
F. G. Pfelfer as sureties ; Hoist & Spetman ,
jvlth E. F. Slacken and E. J. Gilbert as
sureties. /
Avoca Ehler Horst , M. Horsch & Co. ,
Fritz Bruhn and John Dollen.
Neola Louis Goldsmith and O'Connor &
Smith.
Underwood Farrell & Wolff.
With each bond Is filed the written con
sent of the freeholders for fifty feet on
either side of the property proposed to be
used for a saloon , and u list of the persons
employed about the saloon.
Thirty-two applications were mbd yester
day with the city clerk , and these will all
be disposed of one way or the other by the
city council Monday evening. By that time
It Is expected that u number of new applica
tions will be filed.
The landlords seem to be taking the mat
ter of enforcing the bond provision of the
new law into their own hands. Several
saloon tenants wore served with three no-
tlcos to quit yesterday because they had not
filed their bonds , and two of them at least ,
Mrs. Jacob Howarth of the Colorado house
and A. Schott of Lower Main street , had to
move their things out yesterday. The fact
that the saloon , tax is levied against the
building In which the business Is'carried on
makes the owner of the property liable for
the whole annual payment of ? GOO. The
landlords are showing the truth of the old
adage ubout touching a man where he lives
when you touch his pocketbook , and are
becoming staunch tcmpcranco people.

Transcontinental Passenger Itatcn.
The call which General Passenger Agent
Sebastian of the Rock Island Issued Tuesday
for a meeting of transcontinental passenger
officials next Tuesday In Chicago Is not
meeting with any great recognition on the
part of some of the roads. While the
lines are almost a unit In favor
of the meeting It IB stated that Mr. Fee
of the Northern Pacific refuse * to join the
meeting unless the Canadian Pacific Is rep
resented , which Is almost entirely out of
the question. The Canadian Pacific still
insists upsn Its demand for differentials ,
which the Northern Pacific has constantly
refused to grant. The Atchlson , while not
asking differential rates , will Insist , It Is
asserted , on Its contract stipulation with
the Southern Pacific and that It be given the
same privileges as other lines on San Fran
cisco business. This means that If the
Canadian Pacific gets a differential via Port
land the AtchUou will get Its differential via
Mojave. These are some of the pleasant
thlngH which the transcontinental meeting
will be called upon to settle before any asso
ciation will be formed.
Mr. Lomax pf the Union Pacific , In
speaking of the matter , stated that ho had
signified Uls Intention to be present , and
thought that the times were sufficiently
dcipcrate to demand some such nn associa
tion for the protection of the revenues. He
could neo no good rcabon why
the lines In the weit might
not form on association without the
aid of the Canadian Pacific If It persisted In
refusing to come In and thought a strong
agreement could be made without the help
of the "Canuck" road. "But I have every
confidence In the association being formed ,
and that all differences will bo
harmoniously adjusted. Wo have
had entirely too much fighting , and
the sooner railroad officials appreciate
this the sooner will the revenues of the
various companies Increase , The Canadian
Pacific cannot afford to stay oul If all the
other ronda show a desire to amalgamate
for revenue , for It would be seriously
handicapped on Its California business. The
time Is ripe for a transcontinental associa
tion and the Union Pacific Is In sympathy
with the movement. "

PARK COMMISSIONERS.
No .More Coiicerln nt Jaffcrtnii Square
Itoutlnn IliiHlueMR Truimt > tcd.
At the regular meeting of the Doard of
Park Commissioners yesterday afternoon It
was decided to.abandon the concerts nt Jef
ferson square. This action was taken on
account of the injliry done to the grass and
trees by the Immense crowd at the first con
cert. It was also argued that only those
who were near the band stand could hear
the music unywuy , and the square did not
seem adapted for open nlr concerts.
The bid of Mount & Grlllln to sprinkle
North Nineteenth street wns accepted , and
they will begin operations at once. It was
also decided to lower the sidewalks slightly ,
as It waj thought that thai would Improve
the street for boulevard purposes. Judge
Hascall reported what had been done by the
council with regard to the southeast boule
vard , nnd the board decided to let the coun
cil go ahead nnd do all that U would before
taking any hand In the matter Itself.
The question of a Fourth of July celebra
tion at Hlvcrvlew park was suggested and
discussed to sonic extent , but no action was
taken , the members preferring to wait until
they had a chance to zee how the first con
cert at that park was received. Bills anlount-

The laJy whoso portrait heads this oj-Uclo
Is Mrs. Mary P. Covell , of Scotland , Bon
Honiino Co. . 8. Dai. She writes to Dr. K.
V. IMcrco , Chief Consulting Physician to the
Invalids' Hotel nnd Surgical Institute , at
Buffalo , N. Y. . as follows : " I was sick two
years with ' falling of the womb' ami leucorrhoea -
rhoea previous to taking your medicines. I
took sis bottles ot lr. ) Piorco's Favorite Pro
scription , nnd was entirely cured of both In
six months ; it U four years this month ,
since I was entirely well of both these dls-
oases and have never had any signs of their np-
pearonco since and I am satisfied the ' Favorite -
ito Proscription ' saved my life , for I could
hardly walk around when I commenced
fc ing that medicine nnd 1 think it is a God's
blessing to mo that I took it.
I was pronounced incu.ra.blo by the best
doctors hero in the West. I gave up nil
hopes nnd made up my mind that I was to
bo talion away from my husband and baby
of two years old. I was sick all of tbo time
could not cat anything at all. In one week ,
after beginning the use of the ' Favorlto Pro
scription' my stomach was so much bettor
that I could eat anything : I could see that I
was gaining all over , and my husband then
went and got mo sis uottlcj ; I took tbrco of
them and my stomach did not bother mo any
more.
more.Wo sent to yon and got the People's Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser , and found
my coso described Just as I was : wo did
what the book told us , in every way ; in one
month's time I could ECO I was much better
than I hod been ; wo still kept on just as the
book told us , and in three inonths I stopjwd
taking medicine , nnd to-day , I can proudly
say I am a well women , yes , am well , strong
and healthy.
When I began to take your medicine my
face was poor and eyes looked dead. I could
not enjoy myself anywhere , I was tired and
sick all thu timo. I could hardly do my
hpiiio-work , but now I do that und tend a
bi garden , help my husband and take in
sawing. "
The following will prove interesting to
feeble women generally , and especially so to
these about to become mothers. Mrs. Dora
A. Gutbrlo , of Oakloy , Ovorton Co. , Tonn. ,
writes : " I uovor can thank you enough for
what your treatment has douo for mo ; I am
stronger now than I have been for six years.
When I bofran your treatment I was not nblo
to do anything. I could not stand on my feet
long enough to wash my dishes without suf
fering almost death ; now I do nil my house
work , washing , cooking , sowing and everything -
thing for my family of eight. Dr. Plorco's
Favorite Prescription is the best medicine to
toke before conflnomeut that con bo found ;
or at least it proved so with mo. I never
suffered so llttlo vrith any of my children aa
I did with my lost and ttlio Is the healthiest
wo have. I recommend your medicines to nil
of my nolghbora and especially 'Favorito
Proscription' to all women whoarosutroring.
Uavo Induced several to try it , and it has
proved good for them. " Yours truly ,
Dr. Piorco'a Favorite Prescription is a pos
itive euro for the most complicated nnd
obstinate loucorrhea , excessive flowing ,
painful menstruation , unnatural suppres
sions nnd irregularities , prolapsus , or falllnc
of the womb , weak back , " female weakness , "
antovcrsion , retrovcrslon , bearing-down , sen
sations , chronic congestion , inflammation and
ulceratlon of the womb , inflammation , pain
nnd tenderness of the ovaries , accompanied
with "Internal heat. "

scientific medicine , carefully compounded , by
on experienced and skillful physician , and
adapted to woman's delicate organization. It
is purely vegetable in its composition and
perfectly harmless in ite effects mcniu conclf-
FI'OII of the system. For morning sickness or
