This Is commencement week In the va rious Institutions of Omaha And several bright classes are to lo turned out. The High school oxcrclses will tako place Fri day ulK'it. Crtilghton college has fixed Its (!ati (or Thursday night. These two aro perhaps the most Important of tho lot, al though there aro several others attracting more or less nttontlon. Commencement week naturally calls to mind' the soft liwlsh of tho organdy gratl utitlrig govu, -for the sweet girl graduate Is h'mbng ua still, and her beaming coun tousncf, Illumined! by flowery Juno, makes a picture wdll worth the pAlntlng. Hut not nil of the Graduates nro girls. Therefore they are not all sweot. Young America nlso lms his Inning, although this yritr, an usual, ho In uutnumhered by the geKtlor ' box" lh tho matter of diploma awards. Of course, there will bo tho usual com plement of commencement orations. Somo of tho orators' toll iis that "Beyond tho Alps Lies Maly," dcsplto tho fact that It would be almighty sight more timely, be sides giving a refreshing local color, to say that bnypnd tho viaduct Hen South Omaha or beyond tho Missouri lies Lake Mminwa. Tho Alps havo been beyond Italy bo many, years and there has been such everlasting gossip about them that the sub ject has bocome a bit passe. Koiiiul itilke n Misnomer. . Just why tho graduating exercises of a school, should bo called commencement, when. In fact, It Is tho end, Is moro or lSsa of a mystery. I'crhnps tho most plaus lbln theory Is that It Is tho commence ment of u studious effort on tho part of tho sweet girl gradunto to mako her do but In socloty and tho commencement of tho young man graduate- to hustle for a Job. Ho that, as It may, somo authority In the early ages dubbed It commencement nnd tho nowfoncratlon will probably lot It stand so. , Ono Badvfenturo of commencement week Is tho'nunlc'rous goodbys .that will ho said. Thero Is, as a general rulo, moro adlou to tho Bfjunro Inch around a graduating class (han thcro Is about nwholo shipload of gold-seekers bound for Capo Nome. Tho favorlto stylo In which to 'closo a com mencement day oration Is 'something like this: And now, dear parents, dear teachers, dear schoolmates nnd denr friends, I tmy goortby a lingering, fond goodby for I am going out to buttle with tho world, etc. (' And after nil that they're back homo In tlmo for supper. I ThrnuKh Optimistic Kyen. , Dut for tho goodbys, tho samo which has been explained In the foregoing, tho Average graduating essay Inclines to tho snngulno nnd Its optimistic rays cut a rift l'n tho pall of sorrow occasioned by tho fervent lcavo-taklng. . On commencement day tho world looks bright to tho graduate. Somo of this brightness Is found In the following extract from tho notebook of a student, who. will bo among tho graduates next Friday: -From mv vantage ground, tlte world prcnut.surpnsliiK sweet. I seo cities fairer than the .upCiridsldf midsummer, dream, rtalHccsimbro' lumlnouV than tile burnished luster of a noonday sun or tho twelve signs of the. zodiac.

South Omaha News Indignation over tho returns made by Tax Commissioner Fitzgerald continued yesterday and tho Board of Itevlew had a busy day of it. Complaints wcro filed by dozens of property owners who protested ngalnst tho assessment mado against their property. Tho principal complaint ap peared to bo tho disparagement lu tho as sessment of tho small home owner and the property of a packing plant. While" the total valuation has been Increased M47, 854, only a very slight portion of tho In crcaso has fallen upon the big corpora tions. As far as known no corporation managers havo called upon Mie Board of Kovlow to havo their assessment lowered, but many who have struggled hard to se curo homes for themselves aro presenting themselves before the board fori tho pur pose of asking a readjustment of their taxos. According to the now Charter tho Board of Itevlew has the power to Increaso or lower valuations without regard to tho total valuation ns returned by tho commis sioner. Under tho old system tho council mot as a board of equalization, but If n reduction was made on ono plcco of prop erty the dlffcrcnco had to be added to an other In order that tho total might not be changed., The Board of Itevlew can doublo or treble the assessed valuation as returned by Mr. Fitzgerald nnd thus show a valuation fitting n city of this size. "On account of tho bonds It hns to sell within tho next year," said a member of tho city government Inst evening, "we must show n high valuation nnd a low levy. When a bond buyer looks at n levy of SO mlllB ho becomes frightened and Is cltory of buying our securities. As n largo batch of bonds must be taken up shortly It cer tainly behooves tho Board of Hoviow and thn council to rniso tho valuation and de crease tho lovy." The total amount of personal nnd real taxes paid by tho packers nnd Stock Yards company last year was: Swift & Co., $3, 002.45; Omaha Packing company, Jl.GGG.oO; Cudahy Packing company, $3,611.02; Armour & Company, $3,503; Hammond Packing company, I1.PS1.65; Union Stock Yards company, $5,366.75; total, $19,533.37. Should tho council make a levy this year of 60 mills, which Is the least that can be mado under tho present valuation nnd pay running expenses, tho corporations men tioned w'll pay: Swift & Co., $4,620; Omaha Packing com pany, $2,460; Cudnhy Tacking company, $5,520; Armour & Company, $6,1S0; Ham mond Packing company, $3,180; Unlbn Stock Yards, $7,980; total. $29,910. , Tho Increase as per tho figures given above Is: Swift, $1,617.63; Cudahy, $1. 908.98; Omaha, $793; Armour, $2,275; Stock Yards, $2,613.25; total, $10,406.63. "Had the tax commissioner assessed these corporations nt one-fifth tho vnluo, as he did other property," said Councilman Ed Johnston, "tho valuation would havo been Increased nearly $2,000,000. The stock yards this year comes in for a valuation of $133,000, whllo It should be $665,000. Cudahy gets off with $92,000, when his as sessraent ought to bo $460,000. Armour, with a, plant worth not less than $3,000,000, la valued nt $103,000, when ho should be assessed on a valuation of $515,000. Swift gets In for a llttlo less than $77,000, when, If the rule had boon carried out, his valu ation would havo boon $385,000. The Hnra' mond company Is put down at $33,000. Flvo times this- amount Is $265,000. As for tho Omaha, It Is valued at $41,000, when $205,000 would bo the correct " figures. This Is a total of $2,495,000. "Tho total valuation, as returned by Fitzgerald," continued Mr. Johnston," Is only $2,132,000. If the tax commissioner had assessed the packers nnd tho yards at the same ratio ho did prlvato property owners the valuation would havo been moro than doubled." It was reported on tho streets last even ing that a body of citizens proposed call ing upon tho Board of ncvlew and de mand that tho corporation assessments bo raised to conform to other property as sessed. Wutils Clenn StrrrfD. Mayor Kelly Intends to have the streets kept In better condition from this tlmo on. Yesterday he requested the newspapers to state thai any storekeepers found throw ing papers or sweepings into tho gutters would bo nrrested and proscuted under the ordinances now In force. ''Uo mayor said: "Residents do not seem "nke a bit of prldo in keeping the sidewalks and streets free from rubbish. Merchants allow thoir porters to dump sweepings Into tho gut tors, nnd as long as this practice keeps up tho streets cannot be kept clean. I pro poso to havo the police notify all persons on tho principal streets to follow tho ordi nances In this respect. In enso they do not arrests will follow." Mrlilut)- U Dinil.

For a number of years McCJluty worried along without teeth, but bis bulldog tenacity stuck to him to tho last and this causod his untimely death. Ho got mixed up with a trained bear a short time ago and never recovered from tlm shock.

Mrs. Wllbor, as chairman, will call a meeting of the commltteo at once nnd arrangements for tho summer work will bo begun. Concerning guests of members at tho open meeting, thero bad becu misunder standings as a result of the rule recently passod by tho club charging Omaha visitors an admission tee, and it wns explained that, ns has formerly been tho rule, each member is entitled to bring four guests to the open meetings during tho year, ticket to bo punched for each one. If these guests be from out of tho city there will be no charge, but If she be a resident of Omaha she will be required to pay 60 cents and havo tho ticket punched also. It was further decided that the departments of the club be requested to stop the attendanco itt their meetings of all women who aro not mombers of the club, or who have not been Invited to assist in tho program. The directory met after the bosrd meeting and recommended that tho educational depart ment request tho Board of Education to add a chair of oratory to the Omaha High school. Many members of tho club were opposed to the charge of 50 cents admittance for Omaha visitors, but they have said little, as the real strength of tho club Is in the departments, and though there Is a rulo governing admission of non-members to their meetings, tho lentlraent of members and leaders has long since rendered it a dead letter. At the annual meeting, when the new rulo was passed, a suggestion was made to extend It to tho departments as well, by somo one not knowing of the rulo already standing. This suggestion led to several heated discussions after the meet ing. In which many of the members and several of tho leuders objected seriously to CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Sttpi Taken f Kuppoint tha Polict Forct by tha Body, RESOLUTION GOES OVER FOR ONE WEEK Members Anxious . to dec Hint the .ninr of Old Members Arc Not Omitted from the New List. , The first step necessary to bring the poltco department Into harmony with tho city charter, ns Interpreted by Judge Leo Eetelle of tho district court, was taken at last night's meeting of the city council. Mayor Moorcs presented a complete list of tho present employes of tho police de partment nnd asked tho council to approve tho appointments. Mayor Moorcs sent tho following com munication to the council with the list: Judge Estello has declared that tho sev eral provisions relating to tho Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, which nuthorlzcd said board to appoint and re move members and ofllccrs of tho tiro de partment and police department arc void, nnd that tho power and author ity to make such appointments nnd re movals nre vested In the mnyor Hnd city council. If such bo the law it Is proper and necessary that officers nnd men of the flro nnd police departments should be Im mediately appointed by tho mnyor and council. Tho list showed no changes among the officers in the police department, but sov eral of the councllmen wero anxious to lenrn whether all the old patrolmen nro retained and tho communication was re ferred to tho committee od fire, water and police for ono week's consideration. I'iivIiik Itcpnlr Contract. City Englucer Andrew Ilosewater pre sented a schedule which shows tho tlmo of the expiration of the guaranteo period or repair contract on all paving In tho city.

Now that tho re quest has been decided upon by the execu tive board, not a little Interest Is being manifested as to how It will be accepted by the departments nnd members known to be so strongly opposed to it. Now that tho season for garden flowers has come, tho Emma Flower Mission has resumed its extensive summer work and In Its distribution of blossoms among tho hos pitals and sick of the city It Is doing one of the most beautiful and most appreciated charities of any organization In Omaha. Tho mission was organized soven years ago in memory of one of Omaha's most esteemed young women, Miss Emma Hoag land. Among the women who wero instru mental in its organization and havo sup pbrted its work since aro: MIbs Julia Knight, Mrs. Knight, Mrs. Stebblns, Mrs. A. U. Wyman, Mrs. H. S. Clarko, Mrs. W. J.

During tho summer Immense quanti ties of flowers are sent In and when the women aro notified of flowers that can not be sent they go for them. It is much preferred and greatly facilitates matters to have them sent In, for the real work of the women begins after all have beon col lected. In tho winter the florists and per sons having private hothouses are the chief sourco of supply, and though the average expenditure for flowors in the cold weather is $300, tho work is of necessity limited. By 10 o'clock Thursday morning tho flowers aro taken out of tho pans and arranged according to variety or purpose on long tables, about which the women gather and make them Into boquets and bunches appropriate to their destination or to suit the fancy of the many sufferers, year, as usual, has been In finding homes for children, In replacing children not satisfactorily located nnd In Investigating tho condition of children reported as being Ill-treated.

Just why a green goods gang should se lect a policeman as a victim Is not ap parent, but nevertheless Dan Baldwin, emergency officer at the central pollco sta tion, was tho recipient of a bunch of cun ningly contrived lltcrnturo yesterday. That the strong man of the force did not bite on the proposition Is duo perhaps to tho fact that ho confided tho get-rlch-qulck scheme to a brother officer, who finally provalled upon htm to Invest his surplus cash In Omaba real estate. If Baldwin had been disposed to follow up this "chanco of a llfotlmo to becomo rich without work" It would havo been necessary for him to havo sent tho follow ing cipher telegram: . William A. Gray, Clarcmont, N. J.: Lan ills says No, 599 Is right. Answer nt once. Tho Instructions say that the telegram must bo sent Just ns this copy reads and no other wny. Tho sender must bo sure and sign his Initials. Tho phllanthroplo Mr. Gray will pay no attention to tele grams not sent prepaid. What would happen to Baldwin If he sent tho telegram and then followed the directions ho would recelvo are well known to every nowspaper reader, for tho green goods game has been exposed in tho press times without number. However, tho gamo continues to bo protltablo and furnishes nn exemplification of the old saws, "A fool Is born every mlnuto" and "A fool and his money aro soon parted." A hundred or moro Omaha citizens who aro supposed to bo credulous received let ters tho samo tlmo that Baldwin did. This is no reflection upon their honesty and In tegrity, as tho names nro usually taken at random from the directories.
