of I'aloa Ptiincrr Station A
oelafloa More Time
Changea In Prospect.
Tll life of the wheelage basis of com
puting thi respective share of the expense
of operating Union station for the different
roads using It, a favorite scheme of Prenl
lent Burt's, and one- which he Installed
there, Is threatened. 'This state of affairs
developed at the annual meeting of the
Union Passenger Station association, held
yesterday In . the office of Oeneral Man
ager Dickinson of the I'nlon Pacific ratlroaj
St headquarters. Those present were W.
H. Btlllwell'of Davenport. Ia., superintend
ent of the lines of the Chicago, Rock
tsland Pacific railroad, east of the Mis
Sourl river, W.- D. Cantlllon of Chicago,
ssfllstaot general superintendent of the Chi
eago ft Northwestern railway, D. Hardy of
Bt. Louis, general manager of the Missouri
Pacific railway, H. B. Earllng of Marlon,
la., superintendent of the Chicago and
Council Bluffs division of the Chicago, Mil
waukee A St. Paul railroad.
All railroads participating In the use of
Union station are supposed to be repre
sented at this meeting, but two of them,
the Wabash railroad and the Illinois Cen
tral lallroad, did not have operating de
partment representatives at yesterday's
session. Tbe meeting wss a brief one.
It was after the yearly financial accounts
and statements. Including the proportion
ate amount of the expenses which each
road had borne, had been canvassed and
approved that the wheelage basis matter
came up for discussion. The representa
tives present were about equally divided
on the matter and It was determined to
let the subject go over without taking any
action upon it. Should it be determined
in the meantime that some definite ex
pression on the question Is demanded or
advisable, a special meeting of the asso
ciation will be called, otherwise further
consideration will go over until tbe next
regular meeting.
President Burt's wheelage scheme pro
Tides that In order to determine how much
a railroad shall pay for the use of Union
Station, the number of cars run In there
Shall not be used as a basis for computa
tion, but the number of wheels on these
' cars and engines. Operating men of some
of the different roads favor a different
Plan.
Contemplate Time Chances.
Announcements of time changes come
thick snd fast, though none as yet are so
radical as those which have already been
put Into effect by tbe Chicago & North
western and Union Pacific railways. H. B.
Earllng, dlvlson superintendent of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St.' Paul railroad at
Marlon, la., was In Omaha Tuesday In con
ference with Oeneral Western Agent Nash
regarding some changes of the card on the
Omaha-Chicago run. The chief change sug
gested Is to make No. 2, which now leave
her at 7: IS a. m., half an hour faster Into
Chicago, taking It out of here at 7:40 a. m.
The fast night train, No. 4, will not be
changed. Mr. Earllng and Mr. Nash are
figuring the new schedule for No. 2 on that
basis of change.'
The new Chicago-Colorado specials lately
i Inaugurated by the Chicago, Rock Island
Pacific railroad re from Thursday on to
nav additional service, especially lor
Omaha. There is to be an Omaha sleeper
hereafter on No. 42, the special eastbound.
This car will be cut out here after its ar
rival at 6 a. m. and passengers can sleep
aa late as they wish. This car has been
coming in on No. 8 and the change will
almply take it out of Denver an hour and
half earlier and land it here six tours
earlier, as No. 8 does not arrive till 10:65
a. m. This addition to the eastbound Colo
rado special makes It a good for Omaha
purpose as the westbound, which has from
the first carried an Omaha sleeper from
Chicago here.
Car Service Meeting?.
The annual meeting of the Western Car
Service association will be held next Thurs
day in Omaha. Considerable Interest at
taches to this session, as it comes Just
previous to the change to be made on
July 1 from the mileage system of car
exchange payment to the per diem system.
Such a radical movement is naturally of
V.Nvltal Importance to a car service associa
tion. At the special meeting of the as
sociation held a woek ago the question was
dlscusseKat length and it will doubtless
be given irrqre attention at the coming
annual meeting: , A large attendance is
anticipated.
Eismlslsg Board Retains.
After a Journey over the Union Paclfto
system of more than two months' duration
the examining board of that company, which
lias been investigating tbe extent . of the
knowledge of trainmen and agents' with
regard to their duties, returned to Omaha
yesterday morning. The board started out
shortly after the new rules for such em
ployes were Issued, going Into effect April
1 last. The men were given a certain lee
way of time for studying up on the new
rules, with tbe certainty that tbey would
be compelled to make good before, the board
sooner or later. The board has had a
special car on its long trip, fitted up for
the occasion like a school room. In one
ud is an enclosure, with tables and chairs
for the members of the board, the teachers.
AH the rest of the car la devoted to seats
ranged In regular rows for tbe occupancy
nf the trainmen, or scholars. Quitting has
obtained in this car for two months and
piany a railroader dates his dismissal or
nls continuance In the service from -the
time he entered It.

SEINING AT JCUJ OFF. LAKE
ease Members of Fish, and Oavme Pro
teetlr Association Opposed
to Practice.
The Douglas County Fish and Game Pro
tective association Is threatened with dis
ruption over the seining of Cut Off lake.
Some of the members of the association
have derided that tbe lake should be seined
to remove the carp, whlls other members
believe that no seining should be done. The
opposition factions are beaded by "Sandy"
McDonald and Henry Hqman. Mr. Honun
says:
"Henry McDonald secured permission
from' tbe governor to seine Cut Off lake to
remove the carp, which he claims are In
juring the game fish In the lake. He has
hired men with a seine and they are now
removing the fish. I learn that one day
tbey took out 700 pounds, which was sold
on the market, Mr. McDonald receiving half
of the receipts and th men with tbe seine
the other half.
"Now, In my opinion It la not desirable
to have the lake seined. The game fish ars
doing well enough and will do much better
if the seins are kept out of the. water.
There was a large quantity of spawn placed
in the lake this spring and the State Fish
commission put In a lot of fry of the wall
eyed pike. The seines injure these small
fish and tbe spawn. Wbat carp are there
are doing no harm and afford considerable
sport for men who like still fishing. There
are a large number of these men in the
cHy who csn afford to buy an ordinary
book and line, but who cannot afford to
buy reels, casting rods and tbe numerous
things which are required by men who pur
sue game fish. We should not tske from
these people all chance to get fish and I
voice the feeling of a number of 'be mem
bers of the association when I say that the
action of Mr. McDonald and his friends
will not only Injure the fish in the lake at
present, but will make enemies for tbe as
sociation out of men who would assist us
in fighting poachers i tbey were permuted
to fish for the comparatively few carp In
the waters."
This Is the second attempt made to take
th carp from Cut Off lake. Last year
other members of the association were
granted permission to use seines for that
purpose, but after working a day or two
someone who desired to preserve the carp
for line and rod cut the seines to pieces
and the attempt was given up.
Gentry Bros.' Shows,
The announcement that the above great
trained animal exhibition will be In this
city on June 12-13-14, will prove gratifying
news to tbe combined inhabitants of the
town. Everybody waits for and goes to
see the Gentry Bros, performances and
their annual visit to this city is an event
calling for a holiday in the schools and an
off afternoon with ths ladles and children.
The best housekeeper in town will pay
less attention to tidying up the parlor
rather than be late at a Gentry afternoon
performance. It Is a treat that comes
but annually, and occasionally not so often,
and those that, miss the opportunity this
year of witnessing tbe show will miss
the greatest show ever brought to town
by the Gentry. The street parade is a
daclded feature this season. , Ths Gentry
Bros, have over 00 educated animal actors
In their roster thin year, every one of which
Is trained to a marvelous degree of per
fection. Fine bathing at Courtland Beach.

HAKES OMAHA LOOK SMALL
Tax Comparison! with Other Cities Bring
Out Startling Facts.
SMALL PORTION OF PROPERTY PAYS TAXES
Less Traa One-Twelfth Is the Correct
Flare-re for Omaha, nnd the Same
Ratio Applies Through
ont Nebraska.
(Issued Under Authority of the Railroads
of Nebraska.)
In the table preceding this we gave some
details regarding the taxable property re
turned In this and contiguous states, show
ing the relative values of other property
returned for taxation with that of railroads.
It proves conclusively that railroads havs
been assessed for a term of years at a
higher relative valuation than any other
property In the state. In an article follow
ing this we will explain the reason and how
It occurred.
The census of 1900 will soon be com
pleted and It will give a conservative valua
tion on which to base tbe amount of ma
terial wealth owned In the various states,
and with those figures at hand we will then
be able to determine the proportion of this
wealth returned for taxation. For Instance,
In the stste of Missouri, which under the
census will show a wealth of much over
$1,600 for each person In tbe state, tbey In
1900 returned but $323 per capita for taxa
tion, or a little less than one-fifth. The
various states are not uniform In regard to
the amount they return for taxation, some
having regulations by law that govern the
matter and others leaving It to the wants
of the counties and the judgment of the
county assessors. In the year 1900 Montana
returned $685 per capita and Colorado $402.
Montana's report and Missouri's figures re
turned mark the ordinary extreme In such
reports. However, In Nebraska, In 1900,
they returned but $161 per capita, and the
whole taxable values returned of the state,
including ' railroads, In that year were but
$171,747,693. There ia no doubt but what
thero is nearly $2,000,000,000 of property in
the state of Nebraska. While the census
figures are not completed, as yet, enough
are at hand to show that less than one
tenth of the property valuations were re
turned for taxes.
We give below a statement which will
show that this difference in amounts re
turned continues on down through the city
organizations.
Statement of population of various cities
west of the Mississippi river, showing tbe
amount of property returned for taxation
in each county where the cities are located
and the amount of valuation per capita

Omaha and South
Omaha 128.EM 21 74S 979 lf!9
Council Bluffs 25,802 12,982.239 603
These figure do not Indicate, to the mind
of a person understanding how tax values
are given, that the residents of Omaha and
South Omaha are so much poorer than the
other cities mentioned, but It does mean
that they report less of their property for
taxation than do those other places men
tioned. It confirms the statement that we
made In our opening circular, that tax
payers generally report for taxation only
that part of their property that they are
obliged to.
AH of these figures that are given go to
show that all taxable property In this state
Is returned for less than one-tenth of its
value, for taxation. That being the case,
it should appear plain to any fair-minded
man that the railroads of Nebraska aro
paying taxes, and have been paying taxes
for the past ten years on a valuation ap
proximating $50,000 per mile, but no man
with the least Idea of railroad values would
assume that the railroads as a whole In the
state would be worth approximately that
sum.
If Council Bluffs returns one-quarter for
taxation,
If Denver returns one-quarter for taxa
tion,
If Kansas City returns one-quarter for
taxation.

BROWNELL'S COMMENCEMENT
Exercises All In Itoaor of Oae Rep
resentative of the Class
of oa.
Oh, It's Browne", forever!
We're schoolfellows here together;
May our love fall her never,
Alma Mater good and true.
From 100 girlish throats these words were
voiced to the thrilling music of the famous
Stein Song" chorus at Brownell hall at
noon yesterday. The adaptation was the
work of Oertrude Graves, herself a Brown
ell girl and a member of the class of '04.
Three verses and choruses were sung snd
a world of sentiment and school patriotism
was Infused Into them by tbe sweet, young
voices, for this was graduation day and the
song was the closing number of the com
mencement exercises. The song over, the
school girls trooped slowly out of the as
sembly hall, together, with their many
friends and relatives present, not to return
again till the fall months of another school
yesr.
There waa one who will never return as
a student, for she was the fair graduate.
Miss Olga Lambbofer of Schuyler, Neb., in
commemoration of whose departure the ex
ercises were held. The sole representative
of tbe class of '02, the Nebraska girl waa
the recipient of more homage and special
honors than are the usual lot of girls and
graduates. For her were the addresses of
congratulation, of advice and of parting,
for her the benediction of hops and good
will. As she entered the hall an alleyway
of little girls stretching a twisted rope of
pink roses down each side the aisle guided
her steps to the rostrum, and as she left
the same floral labyrinth led her to tbe
doors of the building and to the carriage
standing without In readiness.
From the start the exercises were beau
tiful and at every period they were en
hanced by the presence of five score young
girls in summery white. The graduate was
herself gowned in white batiste. Intricately
tucked and elaborately inlet with Valen
ciennes lace.
Tbe attendance was very large, every
seat being filled at 10:30. Tbe school
marched In singing the processional hymn,
a school song. This was followed by the
creed and the chanting of the Lord's prayer.
After further devotions Bishop Williams,
Bishop Worthlngton, Rev. Davidson and
Judge Woolworth spoke in kind and help
ful phrases to the girls and to the graduate.
Then to Miss Lambbofer was awarded her
diploma by Bishop Williams and after tbe
closing prayer and benediction the girls
sang their Alma Mater strain as the finale.

ON HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
Where th Bow in Board of Education Ead
i Its Origin.
FOUR INSTRUCTORS ARE TO BE DISMISSED
Effort to Drop Three Married Women
and Oae Accused of Insubordi
nation Brings About a
Deadlock.
At the meeting of the Board of Education
Monday night in executive session there
was a merry time and some of the members
now assert that the trouble between the
contending interests were so nearly settled
that there wilt be no further difficulty In
electing the teachers when the board again
convenes next Monday evening. Other
members claim that the action of tbe caucus
has no binding effect and promise to thresh
tbe straw over again as soon as opportunity
offers.
As was known in tbe proceedings of the
board Monday night, tbe executive session
waa held on motion of Mr. Mcintosh, who
decided upon this course when a motion was
made to suspend the rules and elect the
three married women now In the High
school corps. When the executive session
wss called to order procedlngs of a rathor
revolutionary character followed, accord
ing to the statement of a member of tho
board, who said:
"As soon as the report of tbe High school
committee was received, recommending that
the heads of departments be dropped and
Mr. Waterhouse made the bead of all de
partments, Mr. Mcintosh moved to amend
by adding that four teachers now employed
on the permanent list In the High school be
dispensed with. Then tbe fun was on.
While a majority of the members may have
favored dropping four teachers, they could
not decide upon the same four. Finally a
report from Mr. Waterhouse was received
as to the work of one of tbe teachers under
discussion. This record said that the work
of tbe young woman was good and that she
was a bright teacher, but that she showed
Insubordinate spirit and would not work
overtime when that action was deemed
necessary by the principal. This teacher
is one of the best in tbe High school and
when the report was received it waa im
mediately recalled by the older members of
the board that she had been a friend of
Mr. Levison. It was finally decided, by a
vote of eight, to drop her, but no action
was taken on the other three names.
Row Over Married Women.
"It was the married women which caused
the executive session. A motion to sus
pend tbe rules and elect the three prevailed
in tbe caucus, It receiving ten votes. Then
tbe members realized, apparently for tbe
first time, what they had done and a mo
tion was Immediately made to reconsider
the vote. This was done almost unani
mously and on a reconsideration it was de
cided to suspend the rules and elect two of
the married women, but to drop the third
one."
After the caucus, or executive session,
was over J. J. Smith said: "We have set
tled the trouble if tbe members will stand
by the agreement made tonight, but you
cannot always tell what they will do."
According to another member of the
board tbe only agreements reached by" tbe
majority were:
To drop one of the teachers In the High
school.
To elect two of the married women and
drop tbe third.
To abolish the heads of departments.
"In order to do this by a majority vote,"
said tbe member, "It will be necessary to
secure a report from the High school com
mittee. If tbe committee does not make
the report as desired It will be necessary
to have ten votes for tbe proposed changes
and the men who held the majority in the
executive sesBlon cannot control the re
quired number. It la extremely doubtful
If the High school committee will make
Just such a report, especially with refer
ence to tbe one teacher who Is ons of the
best in the school. It looks to me like the
whole matter will be gone over In open
session next Monday."
