Ths party arrived this morning at S:20 and was met at ths titstlon by Mr. Cronk; by the Salt Lake committee consisting of Lew Raber, I. W, . Miner, a. F. BrUcker, Charles W.

The party was conduoted to the Millard for breakfast and were assigned to Ave parlor apartments, where they rested until 11 o'clock, when they were taken to the local lodge rooma to meet Omaha brothers who dropped In. T ravelins; oa Schedule Time. It had been the hope that the delegation could be detained until the regular meeting laat night, but Mr. Pickett explained that he was traveling on a scheduls snd must leave for Denver at 4:25 In the afternoon, so it was arranged that at 1 o'clock the Bait Lake committee should give a complimentary dinner at the hotel, those In attendance to be the visitors, the two locsl committees already mentioned and the officers of the local lodge. "We have ceme from Sioux Falls, where we attended the exercises in dedication of the handsome new temple there," said Mr. Pickett. "From here we go to Denver, then Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek, Vic tor, Pueblo, Orand Junction and possibly Butte before we return. Our real destina tion to, of course. Salt Lake City, which we hope to reach next Wedneaday and where we ahall make arrangements for the grand ledge meeting of August 12-11. Or, rather, ws sbsll pass on the arrangements proposed by ths psople there. I do not know what they have done, but I know enough to be confident that they are widely awake. It Is to be a great gathering, aa the eastern, southern and mid-western brethren bsve sssured me thst there are many in those sections who have never been west and who will avail themselves of this op (ortunlty. Laok far Great Crowd. "Esch lodgs has, under the laws of ths order, one representstlve In the grand lodge and Its past exalted ruler, and there are 770 lodges, but I anticipate that the at tendance will be 15,000 and perhapa 20,000, which is about equal to the Milwaukee record. Theaa figures, of course, do not comprehend the visitors that ars always laotdentsl to but in no wsy connected with, a convention. I am informed that great preparations sre being made Jor a parade to exoel. If possible, those at Milwaukee and that in this ths westerners ars work- lag with a vengeance, but I can glvs no further statement concerning the program of entertainment until I have been there. I ahall make the return trip via Omaha and may be able to speak more fully then. The railroads seem Inclined to do splendidly by us." Mr. Pickett wss ssked whst hs had to asy of conditions in general and replied that he can tell only the old story of growth and harmony. "From July, 100, to July 101, the membership swelled from about 72.000 to about 91.000, and It is now st lesst 110.000, but you msy say if you will, that It is neither the object nor the desire of this administration to maks ita record on numerical growth.

TWO TRACKS TO CHICAGO Northwestern Completes Iti Second Line East from Omaha. PIONEER ROAD LEADS ONCE MORE First of the Great Chlcsso-Osiaks Systems to Get Doable Track Facilities for Ita Important Throaarh Service. News reached Omaha Friday that the final gap In the double track of the Chicago Northwestern railroad between Chicago and Council Bluffs Is now closed, as the Isst of the steel was laid Thursday. Thla marks another era In railroad construction in the west, ss this la the first double-tracked road to be completed in the Chicago-Omaha service, one of the most Important runs snywhere in the country, over which five greet trunk line railroads send squads of trains every day, while a sixth Is bending every energy towsrds completing Its track age for the same journey. The Northwestern railroad was the first to reach the Missouri river, being built to Council Bluffs in 1864. Eight years later the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific fol lowed. Next came the Chicago, Burlington sr Qulnry In 1873. The Chicago. Milwaukee sV St. Paul reached Council Bluffs in 1882. The Illinois Central completed Its line in December, 189. and now the Chicago Great Weatern intenda to be running trains into Omsha by the beginning of 1903. Not all these roads, however, have gone In for double trsck. Ths Burlington Is ths only line besides the Northwestern which is making any real attempt to ac complish such an end. The efforts of the Northwestern In this direction, now con summated, began a deca1e and more ago. Year by year the task haa been tarried on, always being pushed westward from the Chicago end. In 1901 the building of ths Boone bridge marked a great step in the work. It was known then that but little remained to be done, and the rest has been more a matter of weather than any thing else. Though the track Is laid. It is probable that trains will not be running over It before Juno 1, or anyway May 10. A short section between Denison and Mis souri Valley requires ballasting. Doable Track to Xew York. The completion of this Job gives a doublo track and a block signal system reaching from Glluiore, Neb., twelve miles west of Omaha on the Union Pacific, to New York City. The Vanderbllt Interests now have their own double track from Omaha to New York over the Northwestern, the Lake Bhore, the Michigan Southern and the New York Central. The Northwestern road ia a peculiar ex ample of the cumulative sort. The present system of 8.833 miles is the result of s series of contolidatlone and conatructlona under varloua corporate names snd during a series of yesrs. The nucleus Is found bsck in Illinois la 1836, when the Galena Chicago t'nloa Railroad company was in torporated with power to construct a rail road from Chicago to Galena to build lat eral lines aa deemed advisable and to unite with any other railroad company chartered or to be chartered. Galena was at that time of much more Importance aa a bust aess center than Chicago, and ao was given ths prominent position in ths title. This raiircaa was not begun till 1817. but was vea then the first plecs of railway built out of Chicago la any direction. Thla, with later lines through Illinois, waa Inrorpor ated oa June . 18o, aa ths Chicsgo Northwestera Railway company, which It U1 remains. lOl II. 2i 12, Tremendous 12 Purchase of Sheet Music We have Just purchased from one of the largest publishing bouses In the United States their entire stock of sheet music, over 500.000 copies of the latest and most up-to-date music that Is published today.

Pianos, Pianos, Pianos SOLD ON EASY PAYMENTS.

C0UNCILMEN NOT PLEASED WITH COSTS Real Estate Exchange Tax Commit tee Finds Macta Comfort In Find Inns of Fact by Referee Ryan. Judge Ryan's report seems to Impress a majority of those who are Interested In the tax mandamus case as a paradox. Those who lost seem to be better pleased with It than those who won. Though the re port recommends the court not to grant the writ, Mr. Mcintosh is delighted, and Rela tors Sbrlver and Morton are receiving the congratulations of their friends. The mem bers of the city council, however, whose action in effect was sustained, are out spoken in their denunciation of the docu ment. Justice William Altstadt (Little Bis marck) slses the situation up thus: 'It's like I hsvs two litigants In my court, and I divide my decision between them. I ssy 'You, Mr. Plaintiff, win the case, but you, Mr. ueienaam, muoi par the costs.' I never ssw such a decision before in my life." Councilman Trostler said: "The report Is ridiculous. If ths court sustains It I would bs in favor of appealing it to ths highest court in ths land." Councilman Whltehorn said: "It is a legal curiosity. The costs will probably bs 11,000, which will be 2200 for each council man to pay rather a hardship, considering the fact that the city ghoat hasn't walked alnce January." Tax Commissioner Fleming ssld: "I am surprised at the report of the referee. I thought the facta wero sufficient to war rant the court in reassembling ths bosrd to sdiust the sssessments of the nve cor Doratlons. and I think the court may yet do so, desplts the recommendstlon of ths referee to the contrsry. Tbs fact tnsi prop erty was assessed at tO per rent Instead of 100 per cent is not a violation of the sDlrit of the law. and I shall bs vsry much surprised if the suprems court permits such a technicality to stand in the wsy of Jus tice. The rule of fixing a lower bssls thsn Is designated by law is general all over the country." Mclatoek Not Disappointed. Attorney Mcintosh said: "I am not dla appointed. On ths contrary, I had antici pated just auch a report, and my excep tlona bave been prepared to fit Just such a finding. They will be filed with the court today. It is probable that the supreme court, st its session next Tuesday, will set the esse for argument Wednesday, the following day. I am prepared to anawer every point of law Judge Ryan has touched upon. "What the retires finds ss a matter of law doesn't bind tbs court; what he finds aa a matter of fact, where there la evidence to support his finding of fact, concludes ths court. Questions of law are Just as much open for the court's consideration ss though the referee had made no finding oa them. Thtae points of law on which he haa held against us. and other polnta of law on. which the referee made ne finding, will all be before the court for Ita detsrml nation. Tbs decision of the court will be based on the findings of fact and the law as it necessarily follows from ths facts, re gardleas of ths referee's legal conclusions In my Judgment, on ths facts as found, we are clearly entitled to the writ, and I be lieve when the facts sre submlttsd te the court it will direct that the writ Issued as Exceptional Saturday all day 5.000 pairs men's "CROWN SHOE," bought at loss than the cost to manu facture, all on sale In the main shoe department.

I consider the referee's finding a victory for the relators." Chairman Wead Talks, Too. F. D. Wesd, cbslrmsn of the Real Estate exchange tax committee, said: "One of the most gratifying features of the report of the referee is that section in which he assesses the costs of the litigation against the couacllmen who voted to make a hear ing on the question Impossible before the Board of Equalization. It will be a warn ing to other public officials who are in clined to follow their own sentiments rather than the letter and spirit of the law. It it were possible to bold officials in every case personally responsible for their lapses from the plain Intent of the statute there would be less complaint on the part of the citizens. The tax committee of the exchange will continue on its present line of work until the case Is finally disposed of, for the re port of the referee is not final and we can not tell what the outcome will be. In fact. the committee baa got more work on its hsads than It expected, and aa far aa I know every member Is willing to carry the matter through' to its logical conclusion. When ws were appointed It was simply for tbs purposs of making an appeal to the city Board of Equalisation upon the matter of corporation assessments. When we were tricked there we resolved to carry the matter into the courts and made an appeal to the taxpayers for funds with which to prosecute the work. We were encouraged by the reaponse to our appeal and aew I feel that while the referee haa denied our application for a writ he has made it pos sible for us to work a complste revolution In the system of making assessments in th state.

"If the decision of the referee Is sus tained at this time without alteration It ' may mean that Omaha will have no assess ment this year and that municipal work will have to be suspended. The referee has said, in effect, that the assessment is Illegal. If this is approved by the court any taxpayer can enjoin the collection of taxes it tue council should maks the levy snd the treasurer attempt to make collec- . tlons. Then there is another point. The , law specifies the time at which the levy shsll be msde and unless the court ehould make an order compelling the council to make a levy at some time other than that specified by the law it is possible that the levy would also be Illegal. In fact, tbs re port Is full of interesting possibilities, ' soms of which would work irreparable In Jury to the city." mortality Statistics.
