Saturday Tax Commissioner Fitzgerald
and his deputies completed the city assess
ment for 1W2. In the making of these 1 lata
the commissioner and nine deputies have
been employed for forty-live day. It will
bo Monday noon at least before any definite
figures can be given out. At that time the
Board of Review will meet and then Mr.
Fitzgerald will present his figures. The
board will then proceed to hear complaints
and endeavor to adjust the valuation ac
cording to lta own Ideas. Last year, after
a three days' aession, the Board of Review
Increased yhe total assessment as returned
by the tax commissioner 125,OO0. There
la a report that the increase will be much
larger thla year, but there la no authority
for the statement Until It la known what
Mr. Fitzgerald has done the matter of val
uation la mere speculation. It has been
asserted, however, that there would be a
general raise and that the valuation would
be increased in order that the levy might
ie lowered.
On account of the fact that In the day
time the council chamber is used aa a po
lice court, it is possible that the Board of
Review may hold evening sessions. Last
year the corporations made a hard fight
against an Increase in assessment and it
is presumed that the time thing will be
flone over again this year. Taxpayers are
showing considerable interest In the out
come and the actions and findings of the
Board of Review will bo closely watched.

GRADUATING CLASS BANQUET
Yoana; Men and Women' Celebrate
Close of Their Pabllo
School Labors,
Some to years of arduous toll, others to
lives of ease perhaps, but alt looking for
ward to futures still aureate through the
rosy glasses of youth, and all looking back
ward upon four years In the Omaha High
school that now seem to have brimmed
with happiness, the seniors J net graduating
from that Institution gathered round a gor
geous banquet board in the dining room of
the Millard Saturday night In a final meet
ing of the class of '02, which now takes Its
place as last on the long list of alumni.
Despite the storm they were almost all
there, more than a hundred of them, and
the occasion proved the Lapplest event of
many years spent together, which, as the
last gathering of these boys and girls as
High school students, it should rightfully
have been.
Almost alone In their graduating glory
were these lads and lassies last night. No
marauding bands of offending lower class
men appeared to mar the dignity or de
corum of the affair, and, save for Principal
Waterhouse and Mrs. Waterhouse, together
with those of the teaching staff who have
bad charge of the senior class, Miss Kate
Mcllugh and Miss A. L. Peterson, attend
ance at the banquet was confined to mem
bers of the class of '02.
A. A. Kllkenney was toastmaster, and,
after an elaborate repast of ten courses
had been completed, he called first of all
upon Principal Waterhouse, who bade God
speed these, his charges of three years
past. Then Miss Peterson spoke for the
teachers of the senior class, and after that
the seniors themselves had a voice. All
the features of a scholastic course were
covered, memorable experiences, traditions,
retrospection tn general, Introspection in
particular, and prospects ad Infinitum.
"The High School" was Mary Bedwell's
topic, while Watson B. Smith rehearsed
the more striking bits of the class history
In ''Annates Seriorum." Frederlcka Mc
intosh devoted herself to "Sponsors and
Their Opinions," while Harry O. Kelley
could not refrain from re-telling once again
the loved story of "Our Girls at Camp."
the girls who will never be there again.
Mae L. Weeks told of "The G. T. C. from
Within," whatever that may be, and last
came Walter E. Standeven ivith "A
Bloomln' Paper and Hits Relation to 'Igh
School 'Appenlngs," which proved a clever
skit. Finally, after those last nice things
were once more said, the class of '02 broke
up and became a mere heterogenous col
lection of Individual alumni, like all the
classes that have gone before.
NOMINATES READ FOR JUDGE
Republican Convention of Fonrth Ju
dicial District Names Candi
date Unanimously.
The republican convention of the fourth
judicial convention nominated Guy R. C.
Read for Judge and transacted all of Its
other business in less than fifteen minutes
yesterday afternoon. The convention was
held at Washington hall and was called to
order at 3 o'clock by H. H. Baldrlge, chair
man of the judicial committee. On motion
of W. I. Klcrstead, Mr. Baldrlge was made
temporary chairman and F. II. Woodland
of the Fifth ward temporary secretary, and
then the temporary organization was made
permanent.
Charles AHstadt of South Omaha moved
that Guy R. C. Read be nominated for
judge by acclamation, and the motion was
carried with enthusiasm. Chairman Bald
rlge named A. S. Ritchie of Douglas, E. B.
Carrlgan of Washington, Judge Wilson of
Sarpy and C. W. Conkllng of Burt as a
committee to notify Judge Read of hla
nomination, and the convention took a re
cess to await the appearance of its nominee.
Within a few minutes Judge Read was
escorted into the convention hall and in
troduced as the member of the judiciary
to be elected this fall. The Judge made a
very brief speech in which he thanked the
delegates for the honor given him and said
that his conception of the duties of the
office for which he had been nominated was
to make an honest and conscientious effort
to Interpret the law without fear or favor.
After the convention adjourned all of the
delegates congratulated Judge Read on his
unanimous nomination and predicted his
election by a big majority. He Is nominated
to fill the unexpired term of Judge Ben S.
Baker, resigned, which ends December 31,
1903. Several months ago when Judge Baker
resigned, the governor appointed Judge Read
to fill the Vacancy until the next general
election.
BALLOONIST LANDS IN IOWA
Conrtland Beach Aeronaut Who Went
I'p Friday Night la Safe
and Sound.
Balloonist Free, who went up from Court-
land Beach on Friday night and failed to
come down within the specified limit,
thereby giving the management a fright,
landed all right In Iowa. He found his par
achute tackle had fouled In some way, so
he -simply rode out the flight with the
balloon, making a trip some seven miles
north of tbs starting point. Hs came down
on the Iowa side of the river, in the front
yard of a farmer, and reported as early
as possible yesterday, but not in time to pre
vent the dispatch of several searching
parties, who were regaled before leaving
with stories of the disappearance of the Ill-
fated aeronaut who went up on the night
of July 8, 1802, and has never since been
seen. Free did not go up last night, but
will continue to make ascensions from
Courtland Beach.

WANT GOVERNMENTAL LINE
Canada Greatly Pears the Morgan Steam
ship Combine.
PROMPT ACTION SURE TO FOLLOW
Service May De Established fnder the
Auspices of Iloth Canadian
nd Imperial Gov
ernments, OTTAWA, June 15. (Special Telegram.)
The thing which has held attention In
Canada this week more than anything else
has been the possibility of getting a gov
ernmental fast lice between Great Britain
and the Dominion. The danger to Canada
from the Morgan Steamship combine has
become so threatening that it has become
necessary to act promptly, and it Is gen
erally expected that at the lnter-colonlal
conference steps will be taken Immediately
to establish a service under the auspices
of both the Canadian and Imperial govern
ments. x
For years there was one Canadian line,
the Beaver, now known as the Dempster
line, which has kept aloof from the com
bination of traiis-allanllo steamers, but of
late it looks as If this line might succumb
also and Join the Morgan crowd.
That the situation Is very serious Is gen
erally admitted. Active competition Is
being threatened by the American and Oer
man Interests of the Morgan syndicate with
the Dempster line In their South African
trade at present and no matter whether
the company Is driven out of business or
driven Into Morgan's hands, It would mean
an Immediate Increase In all the various
steamship rates between Canada and Eu
rope. The steerage rate would not be
exempt from this and any important in
crease In that would have a bad effect upon
the emigration to Canada.
The only way In which the great combina
tion now existing can be fought is by the
government establishing a steamship line of
its own without loss of time, no matter
whether It be slow or fast, as long as
it la there for the present to take care of
the emigrants whom the Morgan combine
would like to exclude.
One thing Canadians think Mr. Morgan
will never be able to corner and that is the
fish supply of the raclfic. Just for the
present the Canadians have the advantage
of the Americans in the matter of the sal
mon, at any rate.
Speculation upon what the representa
tives of the colonies and the empire may or
may not do at the lnter-colonlal conference
In regard to general trade matters will keep
the minds of Canadians occupied for some
time to come, but it is pretty certain that
Sir Wilfred Laurler will make the strongest
possible opposition to Sir Michael Hicks
Beach's proposal for free trade between the
various colonies and Great Britain.

HAY'S RESOLUTION FAILS
Virginian's Attempt to Precipitate De
bate on Cost of Philippine
War is Fntlle.
WASHINGTON, June 15. The feature of
the house's session yesterday was the at
tempt of Mr. Hay of Virginia to secure the
adoption of a resolution calling upon the
secretary of war for Information as to the
cost from all sources of the war in the
Philippines. The resolution had been re
ferred to the committee on insular affairs
and not having been acted upon within the
time limit prescribed by the rules, became
privileged. When Mr. Hay called t up,
Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana moved to lay
It on the table, and his motion prevailed
by a party vote, 91 to 66. The latter part
of the session was devoted to private pen
slon legislation, 199 bills being passed.
A bill was passed to validate certain
acts of the territorial legislature of New
Mexico relative to the Issuance of bonds.
A bill was passed to change the fees of
United States marshals, deputies and wit
nesses in the Indian Territory. The bill
was recommended by the Department of
Justice.
A bill was passed for a bridge across the
White river near Newport, Ark.
DEWEY IS TO RETURN TO SEA
Admiral Will Become Supreme Com

WASHINGTON, June 15. Admiral Dewey
s to go to sea again flying his flag with the
four stars in command of the greatest fleet
in numbers the United States has gotten.
together since the days of the civil war
and far more powerful in officers and de
fense than any of those war fleets.
Secretary Moody has conceived the idea
and after consulting the pleasure of Ad
miral Dewey," if has been arranged that
he shall be placed In supreme command of
the fleet (comprising the North Atlantlo
squadron, the European and the South At
lantic squadron) which is to assemble near
Culebra Island In the West Indies, next
December, for the winter maneuvers. Sec
retary Moody himself desires to witness
these maneuvers, and it la even possible
that the president may find time to make
a voyage to the south to see the big Iron
clads in war movements. Admiral Dewey
goes gladly to his work.
Crowds at Courtland Beach.
Courtland Beach had a larger attendance
yesterday than any day this season, not
withstanding the cool weather. Early In
the day picnic parties, composed of whole
famillea with well-laden baskets and nu
merous little ones. In many Instances,
spread their hammocks In the nicely shaded
grove and prepared for a day's enjoyment.
By 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon every
one of the twenty-four regular Sherman
avenue Courtland Beach trains were
crowded and Superintendent Tucker found
it necessary to more than double that num
ber. By 2:30 o'clock all the extra trains
were handling their full quota and con
tinued to do so until late In the evening.
After the performance of the Faust family
In the afternoon, the cars returning to the
city were well patronized, and from then
until 10:80 o'clock cars going tn both direc
tions were crowded. The Faust family of
nine persons, five of which are children,
ranging from 4H years old up, gave two
very pleasing and entertaining artistic ac
robatic performances. They give two per
formances each day this week, and from
the highly appreciative audiences and the
extent of the applause given them yester
day, Manager Griffiths anticipates a large
afternoon attendance of women and chil
dren the entira week. During the whole
afternoon people sat on the wide verandas
of ths pavllllon, many of them with wraps
on, others with coat collars turned up,
watching the numerous men and women
bathers. It was a peculiar sight, but as
it was ths first really clear afternoon the
people had a chance to visit Lake Court
land since Decoration day, they seemingly
enjoyed their outing Immensely. Manager
Griffiths said the attendance proved con
clusively to him that all that was neces
sary was the right kind of weather and
Lake Courtland would again prove its pop
ularity with the public. Nordln's orches
tra gave Its regular concerts, and while the
management regrets the bowling alleys are
not quits completed, the bowlers will find
their Interests will bs improved by the
short delay, as no pains nor expense has
been spared to make them perfect in every
way.

KANSAS CROPS IN GOOD ORDER
Wheat Surprises Farmers and Corn,
Oata and Alfalfa Will Yield
Phenomenally.
TOPEKA, Kan., June 15. Reports re
ceived here from fifty or more counties in
Kansas say that all the crops for this year
are in the beBt of condition. Wheat has
surprised all by the growth It has made.
The late heavy rains helped wheat to head
out well and while It Is rather thin, the
product Is of a good quality and will make
an average yield of twenty bushels to the
acre.
Corn, oats and alfalfa all will make phe
nomenal yields. Corn on the lowland dis
tricts covered by the floods will make mora
than that on the uplands. The wheat har
vest Is in progress.

It is anything but pleasant to have a hot office In which to work during Jul
and August. The time to remedy this Is now.
There Is no building in Omaha so well constructed with reference to the com.
fort of Its tenants In all kinds of weather as The Bee Building. The court, with Us '
fountain Is not only a source of delight to the eye, but furnishes perfect ventilation
and the' thick walla and southeast exposure make It an ideal summer office building.
There are not many vacant rooms 1 n ths building, but the movement la and
out of the building has left a few of the very choicest rooms at your disposal.
