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. Life holds out to mo
il future more bright than the shimmering
retrospects of purndlse down, down,
through nil the nses.-
Tht tho author of this had studied tho
dicrtonttry Ts" evident.
Commencement comes but onco a year.
So let tho buoyant young graduate Indulge
Hhnt-rtoStle feeling to tho-limlt. Who
"knows but that In after years It may bo

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."

Mcfllnty, ono of tho best known dogs In
the Magic City, died at the stock yards
Monday nnd was burled yesterday In n
qUIet corner of tho park surrounding tho
stock yards ofllces. McGlnty was given to

year. Ho was known to almost every
shlppor who visited this market and was
n general favorite. 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. McOInty had a habit of going
to every (Ire and ho never appeared so
happy as when running ulongsldo'of a Are

Woman's Work in Club
The executive board of tho Woman's club
met at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, and In
addition to tho regular business tho re
maining members of the standing commit
tees wore appointed. Mrs. Samuel Recs
was appointed on the educational commit
tee and Mrs. W. H. Wllbcr. Mrs. E. B.
Towle, Mrs, H. S. Jaynes, Mrs. H. A. Wag
ner nnd Mrs. Mary Moody Pugh wcro ap
pointed as tho philanthropic commltteo to
superintend tho work of the auxiliary club
to bo organized In the First ward for the
benofit of women nnd girls. 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

A. U. Wyman, Mrs. H. S. Clarko, Mrs. W.
J. Kennedy, Mrs. J. E. House, Mrs. Hoag

flowors have always been Bent Wednesday
nnd Thursday mornings to Mrs. Hoagland's
home, Sixteenth and Howard streets, where
a largo basement room has been equipped
for their reception nnd care until their
distribution, Hero there aro long shallow
pans filled with water and covered with
wire netting through which tho flowers aro
hung, allowing their stems to enter the
wnter. 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

IALDWIN DECLINES TO BITE

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.

SUMMER IN THE CITV

In a city storo be? At the best It Is trying
to nerves and temper. Tho long, languid
days, tho oppressive Atmosphero, the mo
notonous round of duties arc all trying.
And when to this Is added womanly weak
ness, the condition Is woll-nlgh unbearable.
And yet It must bo borno for money must
