Councilman Whltehorn, chairman ot th committee on railroads and telegraphs, has received tb following communication from John R. Webster, vice president and gen eral manager of the Omaha Bridge and Ter minal company, which will be referred to tbe council, sitting as a committee of the whole. It is probable that It will be re ferred to the city attorney for an opinion: OMAHA. Neb., May 29. W. B. White horn: The following ia a comparative statement of the assessment of railroads In the city of Omaha for trackage: Union Pacific W7.630 Burlington Omaha & Southwestern I17.S15 Omaha A North Platte 11,310 .9K Omaha Felt Railway Co 61, 25 C, St. P., M. A 0 20.760 Omaha Bridge and Terminal... 11.S40 I submit that tho foregoing assessments, If there were nothing more to be ssld, would show that the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company will pay more than Its proportion of taxes as compared with the other railroads. We An not own one- hundredth part as much trackage aa the Union Paclric. We do not own one-tenth as much as any of the other roods, vis. The Omaha Belt, Chicago. St. Paul. Mln neapolls & Omaha or Burlington. But the roregomg aoes not give the mil case, Without any right to do so. Mr. Fleming, the tax commissioner, has taken prop. erty Deionglng to the right-of-way of this company which Is in the yards of this company, and which was returned to the state board, and on which the state board has made Its assessment. This, which la trackage property, which woe returned to tne state board, and which was considered by that board In making the assessment of this company, sdded to the sssessment already made, makes the trackage assessment of this company $34,515. 1 think I have said enourh to .hour that already an outrage haa been perpetrated upun inn company in tnis tax assessment, but I have not given the whole story yet. in aaamon to tne roregoing tnis company wna and Is ravins: taxes on nronertv nut. side of Its right-of-way, and which, for mat reason, was not returned to the state board, but has been assessed by the local ssessors to the total amount of 141. Bio. which shows that the total assessment alnst this company Is 176.025. hope thst this is enough to show vour committee and the council that designing parties are Intentionally falsifying and mis representing tne assessment or tnis com pany, and that Instead of adding: to- Its assessment justice requires that the council enouio relieve us ot tne aounie taxation caused by the double assessment of a pnrt or its property by the state board and by tne local assessor. Tne loreiroins; assessments, vou under- tand. are for property within the city limits of the city of Omaha, and do not include the Missouri river bridge of this company nnd other property In South Omaha and Kast Omaha, which Is asesed the county, but belna outside of the Ity limits Is not assessed by the city of umana.. xours iruiy.

At the meeting of the Monday club at the Commercial club rooms yesterday afternoon the question of tbe growth of the Christian church in Omaha was made the subject ot brief address by Elder W. T. Hilton of tbe North Side church. Mr. Hilton said tbat be believed tbat s fund should be raised and an evangelist be placed In tbe field for five months or mofe to awaken Interest In the church ln part of tbe city where no society is maintained. He pointed to tbe fact that in De Moines there are several churches of the brotherhood, while Omaha baa but two. and said tbat tbe Des Moines situation Is due to the tact, that evangelistic effort ba been systematically mad along tbe lines suggested by him The question was discussed at length by members of the club, some of whom fa vored tbe establishment of missionary Sun day schools from tbe churches now active and developing these missions into churchej, FIGHTING WOMAN GOES TO JAIL Jadge Berk Sentences a.

COMPLAINT OF A TAXPAYER Objects to Appropriation of Pnblie Money for Ak-gar-Bea Hlnml-natlons. OMAHA, May 31. To the Editor of Tho Bee: I noticed the good work that Mr. E. Rosewater and Mr. Simeral -did before the railroad tax commissioners at Lincoln. You certainly should have the applause of all of the Individual taxpayers and home owners. But there la more work for your paper. I notice a resolution was presented to tbs city council and referred to a committee to have an appropriation of 12,500 made for the illumination of the business street during the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities this fall. Is this Just? Are not the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities wholly a' merchants' boom to help their trade? Should that large sum be wrung from the laboring classes and consumers, who receive no benefit what ever? It looks to me that the merchants should pay this, as they expect; to make it out I think we are burdened, enough by direct tax and tax-shirkers without this unlawful mode of-using out pttbll (money.. There are too many who are anxious to get at our public money, snd It is lost like finding It, or holding one up, only they -have s pre tense of law if the council consents. Let such enterprises ss the Ak-6ar-Ben festivities be paid by subscription, or fees received for tbe show. I- notice bow un justly your Bee building has been taxed, compared with railroads, street cars, gas company, telephone company, etc. Let these railroads that carry all the passen gers ln snd out, snd street car, gas snd electric- light companies subscribe to ex penses' of street show and not tax th laborer and consumers, who can scarcely get wage enough to keep body and oul together. Respectfully, TAXPAYER FOR THIRTT YEARS. 103 men, and twelve in the entire regiment. There was so little demand for religion that we didn't even have a chaplain, but The ! that must not be construed against the boy, for any man who can live a Christ ian life la the army can live a Christian life pretty close to Gehenna. "The first chsplain I ever heard pray bel chaplain. It was one dark nd our picket lines were pretty close together. He came out and kneeled at a rebel post and prayed that th Lord would help the confederate arms drive the Yankees out of the country. Well before he bad finished bis prayer, we made up our minds ws would rebuke him, so we mustered the guard, charged the poet and took it, and the rebel chaplain ran as fast ss any of tbem to get under cover. I've always thanked Ood that He saw fit to help us ln our determination rather tbsn answer tbat chaplain's prayer." HEAR THE OLD ARMY SONGS Veterans Llaten to Special Concert at Trinity Methodist Episco pal Chnrch. 1 A patriotic song service was given at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, Twen ty-second and Binney streets, Sunday even ing in honor ot tbe veterans snd their wives of George. Crook post and corps, some sixty of whom, at 8 o'clock, marched into the churcb ln a body. Seventeen little girls in white dresses, who sat In tbe front row of seat in the choir loft, sang several old battle songs, imparting renewed life to tbem wltb their fresh young voices. Tbe ballad, "Just Before the Battle," was sung as a solo by Miss Nellie O. Tin- dall. Her voice is a rich, flute-like con tralto, well suited to the theme. . W. B. Graham, tbe choirmaster, sung "Vacant Chair." and "We're Coming Father Abraham," was given as a baritone I solo by D. K. Tindall, tbe pastor.
