Into society of a brother and two slaters
who have so much money that It la really
a burden to them. The character of Marlon
Warreiuler, who- "takes up" these "In
nocents" partly out of the goodneea of
her heart and partly to escape living at the

la one of the thrifty places along tha line
of the Rock Island weatward from Chlck

mountain of the finest red granite, and In
the heart of the finest cotton country In
the territory. It is destined to become a
town of considerable Importance. At the

fine sulphur springs and near them Is one

J. A. MeCauley of Hays City, Kan., .was
an Omah visitor yesterday and told an
Interesting story of the former notoriety
and present prosperity of that place. He
said: rThere was a time -when Hays City
was the moat notorious town of tha west.
It waa the acene of- many of the exploits
of Wild Bill (HlckocM, and Just west of
the town, at a place called Rome In the old
days, a station of the Kansas Pacific at the
crossing of Big creek, Nebraska's famous
character, Buffalo BUI, earned hla title.
That was along in the late '60s and tt waa
there that Mr. Cody made his headquarters
when he waa filling the buffalo meat con
tract for the building force pf the, Kanaas
Pacific. Just south of the town, which
then was simply a row of saloons along
the north aide of the railroad tracks, and
across Big creek, waa old Fort Hays,
Many very Important expeditions against
the Indiana atarted from Fort Hays and It
waa In 1M7 that General Custer and his
Seventh cavalry atarted on the expedition
.which terminated In- the extinction of
Black Kettle's band of Indiana on the
Wichita in September of that year. The
town ia replete with history and had the
reputation of being the wickedest town In
the west for aome yeara. Now It la one
of the handsomest and most thrifty cities
of western Kanaas. There are several
flouring mills there and It la the very heart
of the finest wheat growing section of
the Sunflower state." .

Yesterday afternoon Esther, the s-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mra. Michael
Murphy, Seventeenth and N streets, was
fatally burned while playing in the yard
with matchee. In company with other
children Esther waa playing about a tree.
She had some matches and lighted them.
Her clothing caught fire and before aid
could be summoned the clothing waa al
most entirely burned from her body. Mra
Murphy was In Omaha at the time and the
father, who Is a night watchman, was In
the house asleep. Pre. 8app and Delanney
were called and did what they could to re

last night the child died and the remaina

Board of Review at Work,
While the Board of Review remained In
session all day yesterday not a alngle com
plaint was filed. Numerous Inquiries were
made as to the valuation and all comera
were given the Information desired.
Naturally'lt Is expected that the concerns
that have been Increased In valuation will
file complaints, but these will come later,
as It will take a day or two at lenst to go
over the records and make comparisons.
In 1902 the personal property of the throe
banks was valued at $777,300, divided as fol
lows: Vnlon Stock Yards National. M52.OO0;
South Omaha National, M,000; Packers'
National, 1100,300. For 1S03 the tax com
missioner has Increased the valuation so
that the banks will be assessed now ss
follows: Vnlon Stock Yards National,
taw. 940: South Omaha National, SU1.135;
Packers' National, J136.S42: total, $908,417.
This Is an Increase over 190! of $131,117.
In 1902 the city council made a levy of 94
mills on a valuation of a little over $1.000,
000. With the Increase In valuation of
nearly $2,000,000 It la thought that the levy
can be reduced to mills or possibly less.
The rapid growth of the city, however,
compels the necessity for more revenue
than some years sgo, and It seems hardly
probable that the levy will be cut below S
mills.
Police Board Meets.
A meeting of the fire and police board
was held last night. All members were
prei-ent. Officer Thomas Wilson waa re
ported for being off his beat on the night
of May SO for a couple of hours. The offi
cer admitted that he sought shelter during
the heavy rain. The matter was referred
to the committee on men and discipline.
J. A. Hardy requested that he be per
mitted to open the theater In the rear of
the White Front saloon on N street. The
request was denied.
The applications of I. J. Buckley, Julius
Swanson and A. A. Crandall for positions
on tho fire department were approved. Ap
plication! filed by Sam Nevtns and Peter
Olson were disapproved and these two men
will be called upon to give up their posi
tions on the department today.
In the police department the applications
of William Coulter and Otto Lelpton were
favorably considered and these men will
continue to wear stars. Four applications
for position on the fire department and
one for th'e pollce'department'were read and
referred to the committee on men and dis
cipline. George Curtis, formerly superintendent
of fire alarm service, asked that he be al
lowed pay for the ten days' vacation fire
men are usually allowed each year. The
finance committee will look Into the mat
ter. The next meeting of the board will be
held on Tuesday evening, July 7.
Manager Holland Resigns.
A few days ago W. L. Holland, manager
of the Nebraska Telephone company In
South Omaha, tendered his resignation to
the company with the expectation that It
would be accepted at once. Yesterday Mr.
Holland was advised that an acting man
ager would be sent to South Omaha within
the next few days to relieve him. Holland
waa appointed manager of the South
Omaha exchange In August, lftss. At that
time the company had' forty-five tele
phones In service In the city. Now It has
1.060 telephone Mr. Holland haa con
templating resigning for several weeks, as
for awhile he Intends devoting all of hla
time to- placing- the fire alarm service of
South Omaha In first-class condition. It
haa been largely due to Mr. Holland's
energy that the telephone service In South
Omaha haa reached Ita present efficiency.
Trimming; Machines Oat.
The three wall paper stores In South
Omaha removed their wall paper trimming
machines yesterday and hereafter wall
paper will be trimmed by hand. For some
time machines have been used, but the
paper hangers and decorators objected to
the use of machlnea and at a recent meet
ing the union Issued an edict that the trim
ming machine must go. This action on
the part of the union will necessarily In
crease the cost of papering a house, as
the time spent by trlmmlTvr rolls of paper
Dy nana win nave to be charged for. Mem
bers of the union assert that better work
can be done by hanging hand-trimmed
paper than by using the machine-trimmed
roiis.

ing, aa related by the prosecution. Is sa
follows: Unnler, who had been employed
aa a "striker" by one of the officers of the
regiment, had Incurred a dislike for Ser
geant Tours, who was regarded as one of
the best disciplinarians of the regiment, and
a man very generally esteemed by his su
perior officers. Unnler and the sergeant
had some words the day previous to the
shooting, and the following day Unnler,
upon his return from Valentine, made
threats that he was going to get even with
the sergeant. He bided hla time and found
the sergeant In the barrack room alone,
sitting on his bunk reading a newspaper.
Unnler took his Krag-Jorgensen rifle from
Its rack and leveled It at the sergeant with
the observation: "Now, I've got you."
Sergeant .Yours Jumped out of the bunk
with the remark: "My Ood! You wouldn't
shoot me?" Unnler's reply was to fire the
gun. The bullet struck Sergeant Yours In
the right side, passing completely through
him and out through the walls of the
barrack room. . Ills death was Instantane
ous. Unnler was arrested, and at the cor
oner's Inquest over the murder he did not

not intend te kill him, but "Just wanted to
cause him some pain." Unnler was In
dicted by the federal grand -ury at tha

DanUn Results Show Finance Min
ister Beaten by Social Democrat
and Left Reformists Given
Majority In Folkethln.
BERLIN. June 16. The leading feature In
the Reichstag election today was the suc
cess of the social democrata, who have
probably gained fifteen seats and polled a
total vote of upward or 2,600,000, or 400,000
more than In 1S98. All parties concede the
success of the socialists, which has been
at the expense of them all.
The socialists gained one seat In Rerlln
and 63,000 votes, seats In Dresden, Sollngen,
Plrna, Plauen, SHtau, Doebcl, Altenburg,
Dunstadt, Schwartxburg, Blelfeld, Bey
reuth and Bremen. They lost seats In
Sorau and Bornburg. The socialist gains
In Saxony caused Herr Bebel tonight to
call Saxony 'The Red Kingdom."
Socialists Sweep Essen.
The most pronounced socialist success
was In Essen, Krupp's town, where they
increased their vote from 4.400 to 22,705.
The centrist party also Increased its vote
there from 20.10S to 35.1S6.
The returna as yet are far from complete.
In the city dlstrlcta, where the socialists
are strong, they are nearly all In, and the
rural and the small town districts enn
not change .general results, though their
returns may swell the socialist ejeceso.
The Rlchter wing of the radicals seems
to have suffered most, having lost eight
members, or nearly a third of Its whole
representation. The Barth wing lost three
members and the nationalists and con
servatives have lost 8axony.
Herr Rlchter, some time called the
"Mlrabeau Of the house," will probably
have to submit to a second contest, as he
only haa a plurality and not a majority,
as the law requires. Herr Barth. Prof.
Mommsen and Herr Bassermann must also
try a second time.
Liberals Lose Bremen.
Bremen la lost to the liberals, Herr Ftese
telng defeated by a saloon keeper named
Schmalfeldt.
A confusing factor In fixing the relative
position of parties In the new Parliament
Is the number of second elections which
must be held on June 25, In all constituen
cies where no candidate received a ma
jority. The number of these second elec
tions In 1896 was 19 out of S97 and probably
second elections must be held this year In
quite as many.
