The hearing of tho protest against the
Union Pacific Railroad company occupied
the time of the County Board of Equalisa
tion entirely yesterday and for that reason
it was announced at 6:30 o'clock that the
life of the sitting would be extended until
noon today.
The hearing on the valuation of . the
Union Pacific property wan one of the most
thorough that has ever been had and all
phases of the matter were, presented. "John
I'. Hreen represented the tax committee
of the Real Estate exchange and A. V.
Scrlbner, tax commissioner of the railroad
company, represented that corporation. The
proceedings opened in, the morning about
10:34 v clock, with .Mr. Scrlbner on the
stand, lie said that he had become. tax
commissioner of the road in 1S91 under the
old organization and had held the posl
tlon under the receivers and the reorgan
lsed company; that the total value of the
property had Increased but slightly since
1890, but that It had Increased a little, as
Improved machinery' had taken the place
of lens valuable; that the value of the
property today waa aomewhat higher than
In ltM.
Scrlbner Gives Testimony
At the afternoon session Mr. Scrlbner
continued his testimony, referring to
memoranda made by him at the time he
compiled his figures for the State Board of
Equalization. He said that he had re
turned the total value of the property of
the company in Douglas county, both real
and personal, to the state board at $5,577,
"88, but that the board, had raised the total
valuation of the property of the company
In the state S3. 6 per cent over the valuation
returned by him and that this percentage
of increase calculated upon that part of
the property . in, Douglas county would
make a valuation of $10,240,819, but there
was no way of telling that this was the
amount assessed against the Douglas
county property, as the road was taken as
an entirety In making the increase, but
that it was fair to presume that all por
tions of the road had ben treated alike.
He said the total of J5,577.788 was arrived
at by combining the valuation of the dif
ferent Items returned, as follows: Per
sonal property, such as fuel, material, sup
plies, etc., $312,192; buildings, such as depots,
tool houses and the like, $4o2,15S; main
track, $313,373; side track. $39S,320; rolling
stock, estimated ... upon the mileage in
Douglas county compared with the total
mileage of the road, $212,330; bridging, in
cluding the west half of the Missouri, river
bridge and the bridges over streets and
creeks in Douglas county, and culverts, an
estimate, $650,000; real estate, $3,227,415. He
said that two-thirds- of. the machinery
owned by the company in the state waa
at the Omaha sTiovs. .
Breea Presents Figures.
John P. Breen was then sworn and in
troduced In evidence the record of the tes
timony of Engineer Cogue of the oompany.
who In 184, in the maximum freight rate
ease, testified that the terminal property
of the company was worth at least $10,000,

000. ..Front the; testimony; of . JJi1:. ogue, .Ji
H. Manning, then toaster mechanic or the
system In Nebraska, and Joha AW Grif
fith, purchasing agent, Mr. Breen . found
' In addition to the- terminal property the
following personal property: Shop build
ings, ' $363,580; headquarters building and
furniture, $101,350; buildings and structures
along the line of track from Omaha to
Qilmore. $60,80J; cost pf passenger depot
building, $267,622; that the value of all ot
the machinery in the state was $816,967. of
which Mr. Scrlbner said that two-thirds
Is at Omaha; value of the supplies of the
company. $1,67,61, and It was assumed by
the attorney for ' the exchange and not
specifically denied by the tax commis
sioner that the rule governing the ma
chinery would govern the supplies and that
two-thirds of ' this amount would be in
Omaha, These figures gavs a total value
of tha property In Douglas county of more
than $17,000,000, upon which a return of
$6,677,788 had been made.
' ' Asks for an Increase.
The attorney argued that In returning
$5,677,788 to tha stata board the company
confessed that all other property owned by
the company In Douglas county is properly
assessable . by the county assessors and
asked that this difference, upon the ac
cepted basis of one-eixth of the actual
amount be placed upon the rolls. He said
he would be willing to accept for this Urn
tha value placed by Mr. Bogue upon the
terminals as the total value of the prop
erty of the' company in the county; and
tha value fixed by the state board with the
present assessment or $199,36$ as so far re
turned by the assessor, to be deducted from
that'amount, which would make necessary
an addition of $593,831 to the present as
sessment In order to bring the valuation up
to the basis of other property In tha
county.
As an offset to the claims of tha attor
ney for the exchange Mr. Scrlbner intro
duced In evldenoa a contract between
the company and, the company which Is
sspplylng the new' machinery for the shops,
showing that the total cost of the machin
ery contracted for and now In place la
$1X1,000; and a communication from the
master mechanic to the superintendent of
motive power and machinery showing thst
the value of all other machinery, including
patterns. Is $76,922, and other evidence
showing that the total valuation of all
machinery and tools In Douglas county
properly assessable by the county board
IS 1288,391.
Hoard HoMi Nlaht Session.
There was an executive session of the
board last night, held to reach a conclusion
on the assessment of the street rsllwsy
property, the Union Pacific property, the
bank assessments snd the amount of the J
levy, but members said nothing would
be done of record until this morning. The
board. It Is understood, has reached a
conclusion In the street railway assessment
and IWO.OOO is rumored as the amount which
will be returned, but none of the members
of the board would press the matter, so
that official action could be recorded yes
terday. Yesterday 3. p. Connolly, chairman of the
board, said the levy would probably be be
tween IS and 17 mills on the dollar being di
vided aa follows: General fund 9 mills; road
fund, t mills; bridge fund. mills; sink.
Ing fund, 1 mill, and soldiers' relief, 8-1$
of a mill. This Is not definitely decided
upon, but Is the consensus of opinion of the
members of the board.
It has been definitely decided to in
crease the assessment of the lands In Val
ley precinct 30 per cent, of the lands In
Douglas and Dundee precincts 10 per cent.
There were other precincts In which some
changes should have been made, but the
amount of work involved was so great that
the board decided that It would be cheaper
to defer action.

MANY CLAIMANTS FOR BALLOON
Boys Who Found It Retain Po
Until Ownership la
Decided.
A balloon which fell at the corner of
Thirteenth and Webster streets caused the
police department a lot of trouble last
night. The airship came down at about 8
o'clock and landed In a vacant lot. Two
boys on the lookout for a good thing spied
It as It was falling and It had no sooner
struck the ground than It was In their
possession. At this stage of the gr.me a
couple of colored men happened along and
said the balloon was theirs because they
had seen It first. At this Juncture the
father of the boys came up and things
looked squally. In the meantime, however,
a .man had appeared at the police station
who claimed to be from South Omaha and
who also claimed the balloon, but as he
did not know Just where It had alighted
he wanted the police to assist him In find
ing It. He had not much more than finished
his story until a representative of tha
aeronaut at Lake Manawa arrived and he,
too, put In a claim.
v, ltn the two representatives In tow,
6pecial Officer Baldwin started out to gain
some Information regarding the gaa bag.
They arrived at the point where It had
fallen Just aa the climax had been reached
between the two colored men, the boya and
the boya" father. When the two clalmanta
put in an appearance the father of the
boya Immediately began negotiatlona for a
reward. He aaked $6, which both the rep
reaentatlvea were willing to pay, but aa
he could not turn, the balloon over to both
he decided to take it Into hla residence for
safe keeping until it could be decided to
whom It belonged. When Officer Baldwin
ppeared the two colored men withdrew.
Up to a late hour last night the question of
ownership had not been settled, and the
balloon still remains in. the possession of
the father of the boys, who found lu.

TRUE PREVENTIVE OF HAY FEVER
Hyosael Destroys Germs of tho Disease

There can be little or no doubt aa to
hay fever being a germ disease. It Is, too,
one iuu where prevention Is much
easier than cure.
All who are subject to this disagreeable
trouble, should use Hyomel daily for at
least. two or three weeks before the time
of their annual attack.' In this way the
annoying paroxysms 'of sneeslng, running
at the nose and watery and smarting eyes
can bo avoided.
This remarkable discovery makes it pos
sible for anyone to breathe air at home
which Is almost Identical with that of the
Adlrondacks or White Mountalna or other
resorts where hav fever suffer rs go to
eecaiw their trouble.
If. however, Hyomel hu not been used
until the disease has begun, It is neces
sary to use It more frequently, at least
halt a dosen times dally, and Hyomel
Balm shou'd be rubbed Into the nostrils
both morning and night This treatment
will relieve at one, and will effect a cure
In nearly every case.

day. July s, at t p. ia
Since the present Board of Education or-
antzed there has been some differences of
oplnjon between L. A. Davia, the architect.
and the board. At the meeting of the
board held on Monday night it was decreed
that John Kiewlt, Jr., should ... ve charge
of the construction of tne four-room ad
dition to be built for the Highland school.
On this subject Mr. Davis has this to
say:
"During the year commencing in the
spring of 1X98 I made the plana and super-
Intended the erection of the Highland
school, and did all other work at a fee of
4Vs per cent. In the spring of 189$ after
Mr. Kiewlt was appointed and when Mr.
Roberts wss president or the board, the
fee of S per cent waa agreed upon and
paid.
"During Mr. Klewlt's year In office the
Jungmann school was the only new build
ing or addition erected, and the books of
the board will show that Mr. Kiewlt re
ceived as fees about $2,2no
"Is it because certuln officials of the board
which held office in 189 afterwards
became members of the Taxpayers' league
that nothing was said about this $2,200 or
some of the high priced contracts paid on
the Jungmnnn school?
"The reason for the offer of 8 per cent
for the Hlghlnnd school addition was due
to the fact that It was ongtnally Intended
to become an eight-room building and the
plans were drawn and practically com
pleted on those lines afld could be used
and save the district some expense."
The communication from Mr. Davis to
the board regarding the high school plans
which waa not read in open meeting, is as
follows:

WATER WORKS APPRAISEMENT
Members of the Board Are Now Ex
pected In Omaha Late
in July.
According to the understanding of the
Water board, the Board of Water Works
Appraisers was expected here yesterday
or Thursday to lay out a plan of procedure
for the actual work of ascertaining the
value of the plant later. However, up to
last night none of the appraisers had
arrived and at the office of the water com
pany the information was given out that
they would not be here until later in the
month. The water company has prepared
its itemised inventory of the works and
declares It Is ready at any time for the
appraisement.
At the present time there is a disposition
on the part of the Water" board to feel
that the council Is not taking the hand it
should In the proceedings leading up to the
acquisition of the plant. According to one
member, who has made a specialty of
digesting the Howell-Gllbert law, the board
has no powers or duties whatever to per
form until the title of the plant Is vested
In the city, beyond ' nominating an ap
praiser. The councll.vhe declared further,
is the body that should carry out the ne
gotiations for the city and direct whatever
is done In the appraisement preliminaries
and formal taking over of the plant.
On the other -hand, the council prefers
to assume that theeffelrHs strictly In the
hands of the Water board', and up to this
time has refused to 'laVe any official In

their effort to raise a fund to defray the
cost of erecting a monument to veterans
of the United States army burled here.
Mrs. Anna Yule, president of the associa

reason that members of the committee
who will present the letter to cltiiens will
wear appropriate badges, so that it will
be impossible for any one else to use the
letter for the purpose for which It was

a monument until nearly $4,0u0 shall hive
