The fMne' offlclsm' of rhe Omaha Chieege read refuse W acknowledge any likelihood of a a IS rate from the Missouri river to Chleage, although they have aome (ear that the trouble started by the Wis consin Central In making; such a rate from St. Paul to Chicago may eventually give the sume rate between Omaha ond Chlcngo. As It is now tho 6t. PaUl-Chlcagn cut gives the Hill lines a l rate from the coast to Chlcugo, which is $3.50 less than the rate on any of the lines passing through Omaha. It the Wisconsin Central rate lasts any length of time it will have to be met ao fr as coast rates are ooncernad. This difference can be either prorated and made In the long distance or can bo made In the run from the Missouri river east. The first Is the most desirable to pass.-nger men, but they fear the Hill Interests may step In If any change Is made In rates from the coast to the Missouri river. Meanwhile the Wisconsin Central remains firm In its Intention to continue its low rate end the Chicago Great Western has met It.

DECISION INVOLVING TAXES Jadge Day Draws .Distinction. Be tvreen Reanlar and Special Levy Sotlcee. Yesterday Judge Pay decided the case of Mary HefTeron against the City of Omaha, deciding a point which affects the regular taxes levied in Omaha previous to the ear 1698. In this case the plaintiff resisted the collection of the regular taxee for aeverul years, and asked to have them cancelled on her re"l estate for the reason that no legal notice of the sitting of the city council as a Ooard of Equalisation had ever been given. The facts are that during the ears in question the notice Was published in a (jerman paper and in an English paper, but the latter notw, It was alleged, was not In all cases published as required by ststute. The judge decided against the plaintiff ond dismissed the bill for want of equity. He drew a distinction between the retire ments of a notice of the sitting of a Hoard of Equalization In the matter of regular taxes and the sitting of the sime board In the matter of special taxes, holding that as It 1s the duty of every property owner to pay his proportion of the exicnse of the government the failure to receive no tice of the sitting of the Board of Equaliza tion will not discharge the regular luxes, while It will discharge the special taxes.
