City Trenstircr's ,er Irfew on Tn
atlon Will Ili Subject for Ulscus-
lon at lU-ul iXnte Usqhnngo
Meetlnir Next Wci1ncilny.
At Its meeting next Wednesday tbo Real
Estate exchnngo will consider a communica
tion from City Treasurer A. II. Hennlngs
concerning the abolishment ot personal
taxes.
In his letter Mr. Hennlngs states that the
present system ot personal taxation, as It
Is administered, results In tho debauchment
of tho moral' xense of citizens and Is noth
ing short ot a school ot perjury. He main
tains that unjust burdens aro Imposed upon
the m.ui who Is- scrupulously honest and
upon the administrator of an estate, whose
affairs are a matter ot record.
"Citizens have coino to consider the pay
mont of personal taxes In about the same
light as gifts t'o a neighboring church or
Sunday school," says Mr. Hennlngs. "Per
sonal taxes aro a burden on tho conscience
ot many and bn the purses of a few. Whllo
tho diamonds and securities of wealthy
persons Ho bidden In safety deposit vaults
tho household goods of persons of limited
moans are In plain sight and bear the bur
den of porsonal taxation."
KiiKRcat Business Tits,
Mr. Hennlngs suggests that a business
lax bo substituted for porsonal tax. The
following schodulo for taxes on sales Is
submitted:

1,500,000 to 2,000,000 03& G,C00
2,000,000 and over 01 12,(100
Such a tax might seem high on soma com
mercial .Interests, but Mr. Hennlngs ex
plans that a tax ot this description would
raise at least a quarter ot a million dol
lars more than Is raised undor tho present
system and would consequently make a
great reduction In tho burden which real
cstato bears under tho present system.
Mr. Hennlngs also suggests a poll tax
of 2 for each voter In tho city and sug
gests that the collection of this tax would
be easy, ns tho ballot could bo donled men
who fall to present a rccolpt for poll tax
when they appear at election booths.

OOD HREAKFASTS.
Start the Day night.
The breakfast Is perhaps the rnoit Im
portant meal ot the day. Europeans usually
cat a very light breakfast. Many Amorlcaus
have stomach trouble because they eat too
much or food ot not tbo right sort for the
morning meal. An ldoal breakfast Is a
bukod apple or. lomo other fruit, a dish ot
Orapo-Nuts Food with a little cream, and a
cup of I'ontuin Food Coffee.
Leave off all meat, hot biscuits, etc.
drape-Nuts and Postum both furntah the
phosphate of potash together with othor
food elements that go to make up brain
and nerve centers as wo'll. us muscle and
tlsiuo, anjl both can bo digested by the
stomach of- an Infant.
It Is the 'part of wisdom nowadays to
use food especially selected tor nourish
ment and that can bo easily digested. Ten
days trial of this breakfast and you will
feel as though you had "cleaned house."
The exhilaration ot .bounding' health Is
worth a hUBi'lriKt times the small outlay
of time sJod jraro In' arranging such a break
fast. " V
Mrs. Riley. 115' Chestnut SL, Camden, N.
J says she formerly breakfasted on chops,
hot biscuits and coffee. "After such a
meal 1 would have severo pains and they
would last sometimes tar Into the night."
She finally determined on a change In her
diet unci bad for breakfast only Drape-Nut
Food and a, little, cream with Postum Food
Coffee. Sho Bays, "In a very tow days the
intestinal troublo all disappeared. I have
regained my old-time weight, lost the Irri
tability and nervousness, and lite takes on
a new aspect
When I feel a little exhausted In the
day I simply drop everything and stir a
spoonful' of drape-Nuts In a little cream or
hot milk, and In ten minutes I have re
gained iny vigor and freshness,"
QrApq-Nuts Food Is best when served
Just as It comes from tbo package without
nny cooking whatever. The food has al
ready been cooked ten or twelve hours In
the process ot manufacturing It. When
made up Into puddings, pies and other des
serts it does not hurt It to be cooked again.
but when served simply us a breakfast
food it should never be cooked. On the
contrary' Postum' Coffee absolutely must
bo boiled 15 or 20 minutes before tbo food
valuo and flavor can be brought out.

washed carpenters will commence the
erection of tho booths. Some very pretty
designs for booths havo been prepared and
aro on exhibition at tbo headquarters ot
tho fair association.
Manager Fred Rcnnr said last ovcnlng
that tho arches would be put up today
or tomorrow. Theso arches have been
constructed In sections nnd can be placed
in position with little or no troublo.
The electric wiring of streets and busi
ness bouses Is going on rapidly. Mer
chants are beginning to take hold ot the
matter In earnest now and It Is expected
that the streets will bo lined with booths.
There will be twelve free shows, to say
nothing ot other attractions.

More Ilallrond Improvement!.
Counctlmcn Adklns and Johnston called
upon General Manager Holdrcgo ot the
Burlington yesterday in relation to the
filling In of tbo ground cast ot tho Bur
lington tracks near Thirty-sixth and L
streets. Tho council desires to place this
road In good condition and It cannot be
dono at this time unless considerable fill
ing Is done. Dan Hannon looked over the
work and agreed to do the recessary Ail
ing for 1320. Tho vlslt.to Mr. Holdrcge was
for the purpose of ascertaining what pro
portion of tho cost tho Burlington would
assume.
Mr. Holdrcgo notified tho councllmcn that
It would not be necessary to do any tilling,
as the road he represents proposes to place
an underground crossing at the pjlnt In
question Just as soon as contracts can be
let. This crossing Is considered a very
dangerous one and the chango from a grade
crossing to a tunnel will doubtless be ap
preciated by thoso who travel this route.
At a rough estimate tho tunnel will bo
not less than 400 feet In length and will
have easy, approaches at both the cast and
west ends.
It is understood that the reason for
this tunnel Is that the Burlington proposes
to lay In a number ot tracks on the prop
erty It owns adjacent to the right ot way.
At least ten additional storage and switch
ing tracks will be put In. According to
Manager Holdrcgo this work Is 'to com
mence as soon as arrangements can be
completed.
nednclng the Levy.
A levy of 60 mills on the valuation ot
12,500,000 begins to look awfully big to tho
taxpayers and the city officials aro now
figuring In an attempt to cut tho levy
down to 55 mills. Ono Item In the pro
posed annual lovy Is for $5,000, to be used
for tbo maintenance ot a library. As there
seems to be no Immediate prospect ot
Mr. Andrew Carnegie erecting a $50,000 li
brary In South Omaha, this Item will doubt
less be stricken from tho roll. Some ot the
members of tho library board .want to uso
this $5,000 for the purpose of a site In
stead of voting bonds and then trust to
Providence and a few charitably Inclined
persons to furnish money to maintain tho.
building for a year and supply it with
books. This plan Is not favored by the
council and the chances are that no levy
for library maintenance will be made until
thcro Is some sure sign ot a library being
erected.
No Special Bond Election.
It has been virtually decided by the
municipal authorities to hold no special
election this summer to vote general In
debtedness bonds to take care of tho
overlap of $40,000. This plan was pro
posed some time ago, but when the mem
bers of the council came to figure the
expense ot a special election the Idea
was abandoned. It Is the Intention now to
pay tho overlap out ot the 1901 levy. Ac
tion ot this kind will tako care of the
overlap for another year and this has
been deemed best by those In authority.

recent rowing men "veterans," tho crews
call them, but hardly veterans in compari
son with tho others Including, too, tho
advance guard of undergraduates Just dono
with tbo work ot tho academic year.
Up river, among men who are to be cen
tral figures tomorrow, nil Is excltcmeut,
too, but tho most important porsonngus
aro tho least concerned. Tho river at the
quarters Is full of yuthts and frequent In
terchanges are helping to renew Hie ac
quaintances of former racos and to es
tablish now ones.
At the quartors of Yale aud Harvard
each crew retired as confident of tho result
as If it was over and their boat bad croised
tho finish a winner. But It is not over
confidence. It is only tho knowlcdgo of
each man that ho and his cot -at! on aro c
lng to tho struggle as fit physically as
weeks of careful training can niako them
that he U able to do his best for four
miles and that his own host Is better than
the other man's.
Tho Harvard 'varsity and freshman eights
were on the river only about fifteen min
utes larly this evening and xtholr work
consisted ot a few racing starts, In which
the 'varsity averaged a halt length gain
on tho youngsters. Aftor the practice) the
men dined and retired early. Mr. Storrow
said tonUht that ho saw no reason to
chango his statement ot a week ago as to
tho rowing ability of the .men in his care.
This statement was, It will bo remembered,
not particularly encouraging ns to the to
suit 'from a Harvard standpoint, but It
has been received with a grain of salt, as
with all such announcements.
Tho Yalo 'vartdty and freshmen eights
and tho 'varsity four took but light work
for their last night beforo the race, the
'varsity and freshmen going two racing
starts together and tho four a few stretches.
In the early evening tho men visited Mr.
McKee's steam yacht Parthcnta, which Is
anchored off the quartors, and then retired.
Wednesday's Preliminaries.
Tho scrub raco between the Yale and Har
vard freshmen fours was held this after
noon and the Yale freshmen won handily
by about a length and throo-quartera. Har
vard led for half ot the course, but the
long stroke of Yale counted on the latter
half and a strong spurt on the finish did
tho rest. The course was over a mile ot
the regular course and the time was 0:44.
The crews rowed:
Yalo Zearle, bow; Wilson, 2; Plttlpplo,
3; Earle, stroke; Byers, coxswain.
Harvard Truger, bow; Clapp, 2; Lloyd,
3; Foster, stroke; Ivy, coxswain.
After the freshmen four the "gentlemen"
fours, about whom there has been much
amusement at quarters, raced for a few
hundred yards and the four representing
Harvard won by .halt a length. The orders
were:
Yale Vivian Nichols of England, stroke;
Allen, 3; Greenleaf, 2; Woodruff, bow; Wil
liams, coxswain.
Harvard Harding, Btroke; Sheaf, 3; Bul-
Iard, 2; Wood, bow; Wadlelgb, coxswain.
