The assessment of the Omaha Street Rail
way "company has been raised by com
promise from $550,000 to $1,300,000.
The motion for a rehearing !n the cane
of the Omaha Gaa company will be with
drawn, and the tax levy ordinance will be
passed at the regular meeting of the city
council Taesday night.
The Injunction Issued from Judge Dickin
son's court last January, restraining the
council from passing the tax levy ordinance
until a hearing had been secured in the
cases of the five public service corporations,
lias been dissolved.
The city council will meet In general
committee Tuesday morning to All In the
.fclanks In the tax levy ordinance, which was
put upon its first and second readings last
!rebruary, and to decide the tax rate.
The total Increase In the assessments of
the five public service corporation which,
through the efforts of the Real Estate ex
change, has been secured over the figures
ef the Board of Review, la $1,523,190, dis
tributed as follows: Street railway com
pany, $750,000; electric light company, $57,
600; telephone company, $65,690; gas com
pany, $375,000; water company, $276,000. -
At J '30 yesterday afternoon there was a
roll call of the board on all of the foregoing
assessments, which were embodied In the
final report of the council sitting as a
board of equalization. The vote waa
unanimously affirmative. At 2:45 the board
adjourned sine die.
Testimony ts Brief.
When the Board of Equalization was
called to order at 10:15 yesterday morning
Attorney Mcintosh arose and said: "It sticks
In my throat to say It, but apeaklng for my
clients I am compelled to announce that the
tax committee of the Real Estate exchange
and the officers of the Omaha Street Rail
way company have arrived at an under
atanding In the matter of the company's aa
aessment, and the figure they have agreed
tipon la $1,800,000. I now suggest that we
wear a few witnesses and take some evi
dence, and that the case then be left In the
hands of the board."
"President Karr said: "I see Attorney
Webster of the street railway company U
here; what has he to say?"
"I have nothing to say," answered Mr.
Webster. "It's a matter of humiliation
tvlth me."
F. D. Wead of the Real Estate exchange
was sworn.
"Mow much capital stock, has the street
railway company T" asked Attorney Mc
intosh. "Five million dollars' worth," waa the
answer.
"What la Its bonded indebtedness T"
"My understanding la that It's $2,350,000."
"Do you know of any aalea of stock
that have been made recenly?"
"Yes; there were some made last fall."
"What did the stock sell at?"
"At from 76 to 90 cents on the dollar."
Several other questions were asked
touohlng the company's track mileage and
It franchises in Dundee and South Omaha,
due of Lion and Lamb.
"I am surprised," said President Karr,
"that Mr. Webster doesn't object to any
en these questions."
The laughter which greeted this sally
drowned Mr. Webster's reply, which waa
something about the lion and the lamb
lying down together.
Tax Commissioner William Fleming waa
worn. He testified that the real estate
of the atreet railway company for 1902 had
been assessed at $76,095 and that the rate
of assessment waa 40 per cent of the fair
cash value.
William O. Sbriver, one of the com
plainants, waa the next witness,
"Would $1,300,000 as an assessment for
the atreet railway company be on an equal
lty with the assessment of other personal
property of the city?" asked Mr. Mcintosh.
. The witness aald he thought It would
The council then took a recesa until 2
p. m.
To a reporter for The Bee Mr. Mcintosh
aald: "I shall withdraw my motion for
a new hearing Jn the case of the Omaha
Has company, because I don't think It Is
right to tie up publio business and compel
firemen and policemen to shave their war
rants Just to raise the assessment of ona
company. It we had gone on with the hear
ing of the atreet railway company It
would have been different, but aa It 1a I
hall withdraw the motion."
Realty Maa Satisfied.
It la understood that a majority of the
tax committee of the Real Estate exchange
la satisfied with the present assessments of
Lundi
II as been rudely denned by some Cynic
aa "slop and sweets." And after all
there's mora truth than poetry la the
definition. Ice cream and cake may
satisfy the palate, but they are far from
eatisiyinz to the stomach, which requires
that food be nutritious first and nice
afterward. By careless eating women
pare the way for stomach " trouble,"
and its kindred miseries.
Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery is confidently commended aa a
cure for diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.
By curing diseases which prevent the
assimilation of food it enables the body
to be built up and strengthened in the
only way known , to nature by food
digested and assimilated.

Aa reported In The Dee of Saturday, the
tax committee stood firm for $1,300,000 aa
the aseeamcnt of the street railway com
pany. This morning officers of the com
pany met with the committee and an
nounced that they had decided to accept
this figure. It is the same figure the com
pany agreed to accept three weeka ago, but
afterward backed down from.
The tax committee of the Real Estate ex
change has figured that under the ruling of
the supreme court In granting the writ of
mandamua IS. 639,000 hss been added to the
taxable property of the city. The ruling la
In effect that the bonded Indebtednesa of
corporations instead of being subtracted
from the taxable property may be added to
it. The bonded indebtednesa of the water
company Is $4,000,000; street railway com
pany, $2,350,000; electric light .company,
$202,000; gaa company, $2,087,000; telephone
company, no bonds. It figures also that,
including the $250,000 raise secured before
the Board of Review last winter, lta
"shaking up" of the corporations has just
doubled their aggregate assessment.
BTFFALO LITHIA WATER.
A Recognised and Reanlarly Pre
scribed Remedy la the Practlee
of Leading; Physicians.
Increasing favor among the progressive
members of the profession ia constantly
adding new names to the already long list
of advocates of the curative and restorative
properties of the waters from the famous
Buffalo Llthla Bprlngs of Virginia.
No waters from any part of the world are
more widely known or have higher med
ical endorsement.
Nature, through the medium of these
Springs, has provided a powerful specific
for the treatment of rheumatism, gout, dia
betes, Brlght'a disease, Calculi, atone In
the bladder, gall atones and kindred dis
eases due to uric acid and other poisonous
Influences In the blood. The composition of
Buffalo Llthla Water so nearly approx
imates that of the blood serum that they
become identical Immediately after it Is
taken into the system. This fact accounta
for its peculiar efficacy in the treatment
of the above named diseases.
Remarkable cases of lta solvency and dis
integrating properties In the removal of
calculi aud gall atones have been reported,
the most recent of which comes from Dr.
Edmond J. Melville of Bakersfleld, Vt., In
which he states that a vesical calculua
formation, weighing about 60 grains, waa
removed after the patient had made liberal
use of Buffalo Llthla Water.
In the diseases of women the water baa
also been found unusually effective, and has
called forth many strong endorsements from
eminent physicians.
A pamphlet treating fully on the virtues
of tho Buffalo Llthla Water, and citing
many interesting cases and doctors' reports,
will be sent free to anyone addressing the
proprietor of Buffalo Llthla Water Springs,

question of building 'one which' can be

MAKING POPULIST PLATFORM
Timber Now Being Prepared by Douglas
County Party Leaden.
FAVOR PLANS FOR A NEW CONSTITUTION
Prospective Delegates front This
Conntr ley They Will Consent
to Fanloa on Condition that
"Pop" Heads Ticket.
Douglas county populists are arranging
to carry to the state convention a prop
osition for a constitutional convention, a
demand for which they will endeavor to
have Incorporated informally upon the mat
ter for some time and according to state
ments made the sentiment in favor of the
constitutional convention is unanimous,
while there ia a division of opinion aa to
the form. Some believe the plank in favor
of the convention should be brief, almply
stating the necessity for a revision of the
constitution, while others would have the
changea advocated made a part of the plat
form. In addition to the constitutional conven
tion there Is much discussion at ths form
of the platform as a whole and the division
of opinion la greater there than In regard to
the constitutional provision. Fusion will
also be considered seriously by the Douglas
county contingent before It entera the con
vention.
Demand for Hew Constltatlon.
Oeorge Magney says: "I believe Ne
braska should have a new constitution and
that the people's party should be the prime
movers in such a proceeding. The dele
gates from this county will favor the plan
undoubtedly and I am In favor of having
a plain demand for a constitutional con
vention and let the details be In a great
measure left to the men ' sent to that con
vention by the people. The platform must
be abort, sharp and decisive. There Is no
time for platitudes, such as were con
tained in the last state platform. The
Douglas county delegatea probably will be
In favor of conceding to the democrats a
greater ahare of the offices on the state
ticket, but will never consent to giving
that party the right to name the candidate
for governor.
J. J. Points, who la a member of the popu
list state committee, says: "We want a
constitutional convention, and we want the
people'a party to ask for It. We want a
short platform which will mention the un
derlying principles of the party and we will
be for fusion provided we are permitted to
name the candidate for governor, aa waa
agreed upon when the democrats named the
candidate for supreme judge last year. It
the democrats Insist upon naming the can
didate for governor It will mean a split.
There should be no politics In the question
of the constitutional convention, but the
best men In the state should be chosen, and
they should be permitted to exercise their
own judgment in framing a document for
the indorsement of the people. However, a
provision similar to that in New York, per
mitting tho constitution to expire by limi
tation every ten years would not be a bad
thing."
Wants No Platltades. '
Ik J. Qulnby taya: "For one, I am op
posed to republlcanlzlng the populist plat
form by wording it, as our last one was,
In meaningless and deceptive platitudes.
Such platforms are Intended to mislead
only fools. Sensible people never read
them seriously. Such platforms are a dis
grace to any party that poses as a reform
party. I believe our platform should de
mand a constitutional - convention for the
purpose of revising our constitution.
Among the changea to be made In that con
stitution should be one engrafting direct
legislation upon the fundamental law of the
state. It ia time that the people should
reclaim the initiative, referendum and
power of recall, not only that they' may
I ropose measures for the publio good and
veto the acts of unscrupulous legislators,
but that they have the power to recall
those from publio office who violate their
trust. It should provide means for local
option In taxation, that each community
might ralae lta taxes In Its own way, aa
they are this year doing In Colorado. It
should make more easy the acquisition by
the people of public utilities in order that
the people at large may profit by public
ownership of public service utilities. It
should mals punishable under the criminal
code all employera who blacklist men
whose only offense la that they demand
recognition of their manhood and their
rights. It should provide for a depository
for publio moneys in order that publio offi
cials shall not profit by farming out publio
funds. More than this, our platform should
endorse and defend the principle of state
Insurance and the endeavors of labor unions
to ameliorate the conditions of the tollers.
It should demand an Immediate and specific
remedy for the extortions of the railroads
and other publio service eorporatlona."
