MANY COME DIRECT FROM THE CUSTOM HOUSE
10
In the course of its session yesterday
the Board of Equalization transacted sev
eral Important matters of business,
although the greater portion of the time
was given up to hearing and acting upon
applications for small reductions of as
sessments. The aggregate assessment
on the New York Life property. Including
the main building and the small annex on
the east side and the real estate, was re
duced from I6.'0,000 to $"i30,000, and the
tax commissioner was Instructed to appor
tion the reduction with relation to the dif
ferent parts of the property as may appear
to him most equitable.
Henry F. Wyman appeared In support of
an application of the New York Life In
surance company, and argued at some
length as to the relative value of that and
other office buildings In the city which
had not been o heavily assessed, and pro
duced statements to show that the net
Income of the building for several years
would not exceed a 6 per cent Investment
Upon a valuation of 1500,000.
Redaction for Son Estate.
The application of the P. J. Sorg estate
lor a reduction of the assessment upon the
Millard hotel property was referred to the j
tax commissioner, and on his recommends- .
tlon the assessment was reduced from $177,
450 to $140,000. Those valuations Include
both land and building. i
Application was made for a reduction ot j
the assessment on the Wlthnell building
from $42,600 to $33,000, and the matter was
referred to the tax commissioner for a re
port as soon as possible.
On motion of Councilman Hascall the fol
lowing resolution was adopted without dis
cussion: Resolved. That the city attorney without
delay furnish this hoard with a written
opinion as to the legality of ignoring the
valuation of railroad property as made by
the Ktate board ns provided by law, and
taking the valuation of same as made by
the tax commissioner and Board of Ke
vlew. Mr. Hascall Ciets Bnty,
At the afternoon session Councilman Has
call made up for his absence on the previ
ous day by occupying the floor almost con
tinuously and In the cpurse of the pro
ceedings he took occasion to very posi
tively proclaim his position on the question
of railroad taxation by the city authori
ties. This subject was brought up by
notion from Mr. Lobeck providing that the
board should summon certain officers of
the different railroads as witnesses in tho
bearing of the. railroad cases to be heard
this morning. The officers named were
James O. Taylor, auditor ot the Chicago,
Burlington & Qulncy road; S. O. Strickland,
division superintendent of the Chicago, St.
Paul, Minneapolis ft Omaha; Erastus Young,
udltor, and John B. Barry, chief engineer,
of the Union Pacific road. Mr. Lobeck pre
sented typewritten forms of summonses
for each of these gentlemen notifying them
of the Information expected from them by
the board. For Instance, Mr. Taylor was
requested to be prepared to Inform the
board aa to the number of miles ot the
terminals of bis road In Omaha, the gross
earnings of the terminals tor 1901 and
1902, and the cost of operating the" termi
nals for the same years
I.oberk'S Motion Prevails.
Mr. Hastali objected to Mr. Lobeck' s
plan, first on the ground that the board
iwould not need any information as to
the value ot railroad properties until It
bad first settled the question of its Juris
diction to tax tho railroads. This objec
tion did not appear to Impress the other
members, who thought It would be well
to have witnesses at hand when the ques
tion ot jurisdiction bad been disposed ot.
This presupposed a different determination
of that point from what Mr. Hascall de
sired and ne entered upon argument ot the
question of Jurisdiction, arguing that the
city nor Its officers have no right to as
sess the property of railroads otherwUu
than at the amounts fixed by the State
Board of Equalization. At tho close ot his
argument a vote was taken on Mr. Lobeck's
notion to sumpoo the railroad officers
named and It carried by a vote of S to 2,
Councllmen Lobeck, Troatlcr and Mount
voting in the affirmative and Messrs. Has
. call and Whitehorn In the negative.
The Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy road
filed a formal protest against the jurisdic
tion of the city officers and the Boards of
Review and Equalisation to assera Its prop
erty for taxation. This protest was sim
ilar to that filed by this company before
the Board of Review and - those already
filed with this board by other railroad com
panies. The assessment of the Dellone hotel
property was reduced from $20,000 to $12,000
on the real estate and from $60,000 to $45,000
on the building.
I.ota Inder Water Now.
J. H. Pumont came before the board to
call attention to a number of lots lying
east of Rlvervlew park which had been
assessed on nresumnUon of the same Dhvs-
Ical conditions as last year, but which have I
since that time been greatly changed by '
the action of the river. In fact, forty-four
ot the lots owned by V. E. Clark and
others have been, as was shown by a re
cent plat of the city engineer's office, partly
washed away. Each of the lots was con
sidered separately by the board and the
aggregate assessment on the forty-four lota
was reduced from $1,220 to $218.
Qeorge D. Patterson, western manager of
the Pacific Express company, appeared on
behalf of that company In response to a
citation to show cause why Its assessment
should not be raised from $115,600 to
$5,500,000. Mr. Patterson presented before
the Board of Equalization the same type
written statement of the affairs of his
company as he had before the Board of Re.
I view, and practically the same oral argu
ment as he made to that body. The status
of the company and lis earnings In the

ELECT A. C. SMIJH PRESIDENT
Directors of the Commercial Clob
Finally Select Whole,
sale Man.
The meeting of the Commercial club di
rectory and executive committee yesterday
afternoon was one of the best attended of
any ever held by the organization. The
meeting of the directors was short and re
sulted In the election of A. C. Smith of
the M. E. Smith Dry Ooods company as
president.
The new executive committee organizes
by electing Robert 8. Wilcox of Browning,
King ft Co. as chairman and John E. Utt as
secretary and commissioner.
A committee consisting of C. H. rickens,
W. M. Glass, Fred Paffenrath, H. J. Penfold
and John Steel was appointed to devise
ways and means for Increasing the power
and scope of the club, with Instructions to
report at the regular meeting to be held
Tuesday.
The club decided to take up the matter
of a grain market tor Omaha and
waa referred to the transportation com
mittee, to be appointed with the other
standing committees next week. In the
meantime the matter will be investigated
by the secretary, who will make inquiry as
to rates on grain to other places.
The restaurant question was referred to
a special committee consisting of H. J.
Penfold, John Steel and C. T. Kountze, and
It Is said by the new chairman that a
complete revolution will be worked In this
matter.
C. C. Belden resigned as a member of
the committee and the vacanacy was filled
by the election of H. 8. Weller.
The club decided to Investigate the pro
posed electric line from Council Bluffs to
Dea Moines, projected by Lyman Waterman
la connection with the Creston-Winterset
line now under construction. An Invitation
to the members of the executive commit
tee from the Woman's club to attend the
lecture to be delivered by Mrs. H. D. Perky
was accepted. It was decided that the an
nual dinner to club members will be given
Tuesday evening, as previously planned.
H. R. Penney and Oeorge R. Platner were
elected to membership.
Triumphs of 1902.
Seldom, it ever, In any one year of the
history of the world have so many Im
portant events of universal Interest taken
place. America. England, Germany and
France have each participated. The presl
dent of the United States welcomed and
entertained H. R. H. Prince Henry of
Prussia at the White House; Edward VII
was crowned king of England and emperor
of India; the German emperor had his
American built yacht Meteor christened;
France had the unveiling ot the Rocham
beau statue, and at all functions attending
these celebrations Moet ft Chandon's Cham
pagne was used exclusively. This Indeed
is an unparalleled record, which la proof
positive ot the superiority snd popularity
of the renowned brand of Moet ft Chandon
White Seal.
COURT TERM NEAR THE END
District Court Will Adjonra Friday or
; Saturday of This
Week.
The October term of district court prob
ably will be adjourned Friday and certainly
Saturday. Judge Baxter has nothing ahead
but aome arraignments, unless the attor
neys In the Halter-Police board mandamus
case should conclude to accept his offer to
go ahead with the trial of the case. Judge
Read and Judge Slabaugh are through.
Judges Dickinson and Day have only small
matters. Judge Fawcett is still In Oregon
and Judge Estelle In Arkansas.
The February term, opening two weeks
from Monday, has plenty of litigation In
store, but none of a very sensational na
ture. On the civil docket are 1,296 cases,
against 1.4S3 at a similar period last year,
and 114 criminal against 358 last year.
Don't Worry.
This Is easier said than done, yet It may
be of some help to consider the matter. If
the cause Is something over which you have
no control It Is obvious that worrying will
not help the matter In the least. On the
other hand. If within your control you have
only to act. When you have a cold and
fear an attack ot pneumonia, buy a bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and use it
judiciously and all cause tor worry aa to
tho outcome will quickly disappear. Thero
is no danger of pneumonia when it is used.

BURT DELAYS SETTLEMENT
Tells Strikers H Cannot Sesame Ooiference
for Several Weeks.
UNIONISTS WILL TIGHTEN UP SITUATION
Plan to Send All Men Hot Reqnlred
Her for Strike Doty to Other
Cities for Work Stronger
Pleket Line.
President Burt ot the Union Paclflo rail
way baa refused to grant the strikers a
conference sooner than two or three weeks
at the least, and with a probability that the
interim will continue longer than that.
Upon the arrival of John McNeil, presi
dent ot the International Brotherhood ot
Boiler Makers and Iron Shipbuilders, to
take charge ot the strike Mr. Burt was
asked when he could arrange for a continu
ance of the conference as planned. This
was done by telephone from Labor Temple,
the boiler makers' headquarters. Mr. Burt
responded over the wire that he couldn't
give the strikers a hearing before two or
three weeks anyway. '
This Information was given out by the
strikers' press committee yesterday, and
as a consequence the men have decided to
make the fight hotter than ever. Said a
member of the committee:
"It is plain to us now that thla thing Is
going to settle down into a long drawn out
struggle. This new situation compels new
measures on our part, and we have already
decided upon some Important changes.
To Lessen the Deadwood.
"Chief of these will be the setting of all
men to work aave those needed to carry
on the strike. There has been too much
deadwood around here. It has been a
hindrance. Now, Just that number of
strikers needed for the actual work here,
picket duty and such matters, will be kept
here. Tbey will all be put on full pay,
drawing the same money they did when at
work in the shops. Meanwhile the rest of
the men will be found work la various
parts of the country at their trades and
sent there so they can make a living till
the strike is over. There won't be an
Idle man left.
"Another important change will be an
Improvement In the picket service. Cap
tain Richelieu will be given the assistance
of two lieutenants, one for day and the
other for night duty. We Intend to see
that these pickets do their duty, and we
will have other pickets to see that they
do."
Mr. McNeil returned Wednesdsy night
from the east. "I have little to say regarding
the strike till tomorrow," said he. "At that
time we will have a meeting of the boiler
makers and I shall make a report on the
present situation. I shall not remain
here for the conference with Mr. Burt, but
shall leave for a trip over the line In
about three days. I shall wait In Omaha
merely till Tom Wilson gets In, so we can
have a general strikers' conference and de
clde on plans for the future. Wilson will
be in Saturday."

TO KILL. THE DA.VDKITF GERM.
Is the Only Possible Way of Having a
Permanent Cnre.
If you see a woman or a man with lux
uriant, glossy hair, you may be sure neither
has dandruff to amount to anything. In
nearly every case where women and men
have thin, brittle hair, they owe It to dan
druff. There are hundreds of preparations
that "claim" to cure dandruff,
but not oae but Newbro's Herptclde
tells you that dandruff Is the result of a
germ burrowing Into the scalp, and that
permanent cure of dandruff and Its conse
quent falling and baldness can only be
had by killing the germ, snd there is no
other preparation that will destroy that
germ but Newbro's Herplclde. "Destroy
the cause, you remove the effect."

SECOND ACT ABOUT READY
llroateh Police Hoard Preparing; to
Appoint New Men to the
Force.
When the Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners about two months ago sum
marily removed sixteen men from the police
department, on the ground that the fund
was too low to maintain the department
at Its established strength for the re
mainder of the year, it was generally rec
ognized that the board was taking ad
vantage of that excuse to remove men who
were politically objectionable to the mem
bers of the board and make room for the
appointment at an early date of others
who should meet the requirements of
MesBrs. Broatch, Wright, Bpratlen and
Thomas. Now it is well understood about
the city hall and in political circles gen- j
erally that part second of tho program Is
to be enacted at a very early date. The
n-embers of the board are to hold a "con
ference" on Saturday afternoon of this
week snd the accepted belief Is that the
new police appointees are to be selected
at that time. In fact, at the last meeting
of the board there were present a number
of candidal e, who were eviti ntly in the
secret a nl expected to be appointed at that
time.
