Decision Vat on Block Tarda
Assessment.
The County Board of Equaliiatlon yester
day morning had before It a large number
of wholesale and retail dealers who had
been called upon to show cause why their
assessments should not be raised. There
were few changes made and none of any
Importance, most of the cases being dis
missed, as the difference between the
county assessment and one-sixth of the city
assessment was so Utile as to be Immate
rial. The bourd did not announce Its decision
In the matter of the assessment of the real
state of the Union Stock Tarda company.
and it waa said that no conclusion had
been reached by the members.
The bankers of the city were before the
board, but were excused until Thursday,
when they will be expected to present
worn statements of the condition of the .
Institutions. Borne criticism was made
over the action of some of the banks In
preparing these statements last year, and
members of the board Insisted upon uni
form style. Last year one of the reports
showed the total resources of the bank, and
from one-sixth of this amount was taken
the total assessed valuation of the real
estate assessed against the bank, the re
mainder being what the bank desired to
be assessed upon as personal property. An
other bank subtracted from the total re
sources the total value of the real estate
owned and reported one-sixth of the re
mainder as the assessed valuation of the
personal property. It Is this latter system
which the commissioners desire adopted by
all of the banks, as It gives them an op
portunity to know the value of the real
estate aa fixed by the owner and not r.a
fixed by the assessor, so that the real value
of the remaining personal property can be
ascertained.
The board has decided to extend Us sit
ting until July 7.
OOlclal Assessment Flxarri.
The official figures of the assessment of
Douglas county as made by the assessors
were completed Wednesday evening. There
was considerable difference In those figures
and the footings of the assessors In some
of the precincts, but the grand total was
changed comparatively little over the un
official count from the assessors' footings.
The figures as returned to the Board of
Equalization by the tax department are

TREAT FOR THE PASSENGERS
Bride and Oroom on Illinois Central
Train Faralsh the Amnee-saent.
While the brMe and groom rode tn the
baggage coach ahead out of Woodbine last
night the passengers on the Illinois Cen
tral train were marveling at what they had
been treated to. At Woodbine a band of
the society push of the village had stormed
the approaches of the train and driven the
porters to the roof and the timid passen-
gers under their seats, while they flung rice,
old shoes and posters, damp with the Im
print of the village press, over the seats
and the leac fearful passengers.
As time wore on and the more hardened
of the traveling men became less fearful
the reason for the doings became apparent,
for the posters read:
Oeorge ar.d Blanche, ' Married Tuesday,
June 30, 103. This Interesting and newly
wedded pair from Woodbine, la., are com
mended to the tender mercies of the pas
sengers on this train. Any attentions
shown to them will be appreciated by anx
ious rrienos ana relatives ana tDernapsi Dy
the couple aforesaid.
Thev have never traveled toe-ether be
fore and have been turned loose on this
occasion with many misgivings. Not hav
ing a rhaperone to spare Just at present We
respectfully petition the passengers herein
to supply the deficiency. Report any In
discretions to the nearest police station
and telegraph President Roosevelt at our
expense. ANXIOC8 FRIENDS.
But nowhere could be found a trace of
the bride and groom, and the only addi
tional passenger was a wildly Incoherent
shining light of the town in his glad rags
and with nothing In his pocketa but his
hands. At Logan the conductor removed
him with a graceful gesture and he started
back to tread the ties In proper attire for
an evening at the opera, while two scared
persons crept from thef baggage coach and
tenderly made their way to the Pullman,
to be met with a view of rice and posters
and A knowing smile from a horde of pas
sengers who knew that Oeorge and Blanche
had been cornered. 80 from Logan to
Council Bluffs they furnished the passen
gers with a little vaudeville stunt of awk
wardness that would have made 81s Hop
kins turn In her dreams It she had ever
seen It.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMADA
Councilman Discuss Question of a Hew
Borne for City GoTerLaent
FIRE AND POLICE BOARD ASKS FOR CASH
Governor's Appointees Think that
3,000 Will Answer Their Pnr
noes for tha Fiscal
Year.
Blnce the city hall proposition did not
carry the members of the council are won
dering what to do for city headquarters,
as the lease on the present quarters ex
pires In December.
Some of the officials would like to make
arrangements to rent the building from
month to month and not enter Into another
long-time lease. The present quarters are
far from being desirable, the principal
complaint being the lack of sufficient room
for the transaction of the city's business.
Another point raised Is that the city Is
paying entirely too much rent for Inferior
accommodations.
Councilman O'Connor says that rather
than remain In the present Quarters longer
than the lease he would favor the splitting
up of the city offices, and the securing of
quarters In any suitable building. This
suggestion Is not, however, considered seri
ously as It would hamper the handling of
city business and cause great Inconven
lence to the public. There is some talk of
endeavoring to have a building erected for
the use of the city on a long-time lease
agreement, but this has not been definitely
decided on yet. Councllmen say that if
some property owner would come forward
with a proposition to erect a building suit
able for city hall And jail purposes they
would not hesitate to enter Into an agree
ment. The present jail Is kept clean as
can be expected considering that It is in
the cellar, but even at Its best It Is no fit
place to confine a person for any length
of time. No quarters for women have
been provided and dope fiends, drunks.
women of HI repute and minors are all
herded together. City officials say that the
problem Is one that Is causing considerable
worry, but they hope to make arrange
ments of some kind before the present lease
expires.

About 5 o'clock the prisoners were ar
raigned before Police Judge King-, AH
pleaded not guilty and the preliminary
hearing was aet for Tuesday, July 1. It
was the Intention of the assistant county

of the six at $2,000 each. Judge King neld
that as for Peter Uvlck the bond would be
$2,000, and for the others a bond of $1,000
will be aoepted. An effort was at once
made to secure the release of all six on
bonds. Up to a late hour last night bonds
had not been secured.
Bond Ordinances Passed.
Another special meeting of the city eoun
ell was held yesterday and the bond or
dinance authorising the council to Issue
refunding bonds in the sum of $70,000 was

est s the same shall become due.
After the ordinance has been published
the council will advertise for bids for the

lished in the three Omaha dally papers. As

Twenty-fourth street between M and N
streets. Two nights In succession these
men have been compelled to run on ac

Pavement Needs ItepatrlaaT.
Several depressions in the brick pave'
Rient on N atreet between Twenty-fifth
and Twenty-sixth streets have appeared
recently and tha attention of the street
department haa been called to the matter.
The largest depression was caused by care
leas work In relaying the pavement after
a sewer connection bad been made. The
others have been caused by the heavy rains
of May. It will cost the city about $50
to make tha necessary repairs. After this
the authorities propose to see tht plumb
ers relay pavement so that It will stay
down after making excavations for water,
sewer or gas connections.
Ponnd a Dead Man.
When Barney Cogan was closing up his
saloon at Twenty-ninth and Q streets last
night he found a dead man In a back room.

about two months ago. For some time he
has been sleeping In the room off Cogan's
saloon. He waa not seen to enter the room
laat night, nor had he been around the
place much during the day. There Is no

that Ransford died from heart failure. The
body was taken to Undertaker Brewer's
morgue, and the coroner notified.

kept the swings and merry-go-round filled
until a late hour. The picnic was under
the direction of the board of directors of

Mrs. Terry Jones shot and probably fa
tally wounded herself last evening. The
shooting occurred In the apartments occu
pied by Mrs. Jones and her husband in
the Riley hotel. Twenty-seventh and N
streets, Bouth Omaha. The bullet entered
the breast, and Dr. Schlndele, who was
called, gave It as his opinion, after making
an examination, that the woman would
die. It was stated that she shot herself
accidentally while handling the revolver,
but there are some things which lead to
the belief that It may be a case of at
tempted suicide.

GREAT AWAKENING ALONG THE NILE
Work of the Mlsslonnrles Shown La
the Uplift of the Descendants of
the Pharaohs, According;
to tha Speaker.
At the Central United Presbyterian
church last night Miss Minnehaha Blnney,
a missionary recently teturned from
Egypt, addreased the delegates attending
the Omaha presbytery of this church, the
Women's Missionary society and the Young
People's Christian Endeavor, all of which
are holding forth at this church.
Miss Blnney talked of "Some Things I
Have Seen and Heard in Egypt." and not
withstanding the extremely warm weather
the address was heard with great Interest.
Miss Blnney contrasted the conditions In
Egypt In olden times and, today. She told
of the gradual awakening there of the
pnoplo who wanted something, they them
selves knew not what, but the missionaries
believe waa a desire for a better religion.'
She told of the work being done by the
missionaries toward educating the- natives,
as well aa Christianising them. . She said
out of the total population of the country
only forty-eight out of 1.000 could read, but
In that portion of the country where the
missionaries are doing their work out oi
each 1,000 people SS0 could read. The people
there, she said, are not suffering from a
bread famine or anything like that. Tem
porally. they have all they desire or peed
now, but It is in the spiritual life they are
lacking. More teachers ara needed, and
needed now.
Egypt is a great agricultural country and
along the Nile river many canals are being
built to take the water out Into the desert.
Along these many towns are springing up
and the future of the country In every way
la brighter than ever before.
