The railroad assessments were made by
accepting the returns of the State Board
Of Kquallzat'on and multiplying them five
tlmea, on the theory that the valuation
by the atate wki on a 20 per cent basis.
It wu upon the recommendation of City
Attorney Wright that the protests from

the city to accept the returns of the atate
board. It Is Intimated, huwrv.T, thnt the

This great remedy has never before been advertised. It has simply been sold to people who have heard of it through their friends and thousands of persons in Indianapolis,
Terre Haute, Evansville and other Indiana towns have been cured ot the above complaints inside a few months. We do not find it necessary to go to Maine or California for
testimonials, for our home people are glad to tell of the good Milks' Emulsion has done them and the person who commences using it is the best advertising medium we can employ.
READ THESE TESTIMONIALS.
The Milks' Emulsion Co., Terre Haute. Ind :
Gentlemen My son has been a chronic sufferer from stomach
trouble for years, and I have tried a great many remedies, and spent
a. large amount of money i j doctoring, without permanent relief He
got a box of Milks' Emulsion, which gave him immediate relief, and
in two months was completely cured. I have recommended this
valuable remedy to at least fifty of my friends who had suffered with
stomach troubleand in each case it effected a permanent cure; there
fore I can heartily recommend it to persons suffering from stomach
trouble of any kind. Very truly yours, Capt. Wm. M. Cooper,
October 30, 1902, Terre Haute, Ind.
The Milks' Emulsion Co., Terre Haute, Ind.:
Gentlemen I have used three jars of your Milks' Emulsion and I
feel that when there is a medicine on the market that will cure cases
like mine that every one should know of it. The first night's sleep 1
had had in three months prior to using your Emulsion was on the second
night after I began using it. I have had a bad case of stomach trouble)
and constipation for years and was ready to give up when I noticed
your ad. I would vomit up slime, belch gas, was troubled with dizzi
ness, bloat after eating, gnawing sensation as well as craiuns in
stomach. This continued for years and nothing seemed to benefit me
until I commenced the use of Milks' Emulsion. I doubt if any one could
have a worse case of stomach trouble than I had and the least 1 can say
is that Milks' Emulsion was a godsend to me. Respectfully yours,
C. E. Heinrichs, 702 S. Alabama St.,

The Milks' Emulsion Co., Terre Haute, Ind.:
Gentlemen I feel it my duty to let you know of the truly wonder
ful results I have received from only three boxes of your Emulsion. For
years I havesuttered with stomach trouble, causing habitual headaches,
and after trying everything I ever heard of I was finally induced to try
a jar of Milks' Emulsion. The first jar did me lots of good and I con
tinued its use until I had taken three jars, which effected a thorough
cure of stomach trouble, and with that misery done away with my
headache ceased. Therefore it is with pleasure I recommend Milks'
Emulsion to all of my friends. Wishing you success with your wondef
ful remedy, I am, Yours very truly,
John W. Trenck, with Hollweg & Reese, 3G0 W. 30th St.,
. April 10, 1903. Indianapolis, Ind.
The Milks' Emulsion Co., Terre Haute, Ind.:
Gentlemen I have had chronic stomach trouble for four or fiv
years, and have spent hundreds of dollars without getting any perma
nent relief, until Captain Cooper recommenced Milks' Emulsion. I got
a box and from the start it gave me relief. I consider it the best remedy
for stomach trouble I have ever tried. I have recommended it to sev
eral friends and in each case they were greatly benefited.
J. L. Warden, Wholesale Fruits and Vegetables,
October 13, 1902. Terre Haute, Ind.
The Milks Emulsion Co., Terre Haute, Ind.:
Gentlemen I had been a sufferer from stomach trouble for eighteen
years and could find nothing that would bring any relief. 1 spent
hundreds of dollars doctoring but all to no avail. Every winter I would
be bedfast most of the time. I commenced taking Milks' Emulsion last
fall and after having taken three boxes can say that I have had no
return of my former trouble. This is the first winter in eighteen years
that I have not been bedfast. I have also used it for croup for the chil
dren with splendid results. I think it is the best all round remedy I
have ever used and would not be without it in the house.
Very truly yours. Mrs. W. G. Mersiion,
April 10, 1903. Brazil, Ind.
The Milks' Emulsion Co., Terre Haute, Ind.:
Gentlemen Something over a year ago Captain Cooper recom
mended Milks' Emu sion for stomach trouble. I took a box home
end soon found it the best relief for stomach disorder of any kind. It
cures cons' ipatiou in a very short time. A friend was confined to hiB
bed with a very bad case of chronic stomach trouble. The attending
FhysieiaT would not allow him to eat anything but soft boiled eggs,
took him a bos of Milks' Emulsion and in a very few days he was
or.t and in good health. It has now been six months since he used
this temedy and he has not had a return of his old trouble, notwith
standing the fact that every few weeks previous to taking Milks'
Emulsion he had a severe attack of storrach trouble. I continue to
recommend Milks' Emulsion, as I believo it to be the best remedy on
the market for the above complaint. Yours very truly,
Everett E. Messick.

Stoat Protest, tor licit I.lnr.
The railroad did not send representa
tives to protect agnlniit the "multiplier,
tlon by five." Attorney Stout, howevc
protested long and loudly to the propowi
tlon of Councilman Zlmman to usseua th
Belt Line at J'-fO.OOO, or on the sirne mlle
ago valuation as tho T'remont, Klkhorn &
Missouri Valley. This road was asseaiicd
and paid taxes last year on I34O.0O0. Only
Zlmman, Hoy and Schroeder voted agnlnnl
a ilti.STO assessment.
John L. Webster In pleading for a reduc
tion of the assessment of $5,0C0,0O0 against
the OmRlia Street Railway company, sild
that the return of $3,750,000 made by the
corporation had been Increased by the tax
der'Rrtmer.t without notice to the company.
Ha asst-rted that when representatives of
the street railway and gas companies went
to the tax office after t o'clock, In the last
fijy"s sltili'.g rf tho Board of Review, they
found the doors 1' eked and the members
In executive pesilon. For this reaton they
were prevented from filing a protest to the
f.jjures mado by Commissioner Fleming.
Mr. Vi'ebstir declared further that tho as
sessments never had been pimsed upon by
the Toard of Review, and that this con
stituted lot only an Irregularity, but a
mistake, and an error that might militate
against the legality of the tax.
Aaks fur Reduction.
He asked that the assessment be re
duced to at leaat It.OCO.POO, end preferably
to $3,7S0.Ct0; also to take off the assess
ment of C"-B,roo ugalnat the wt-st half of
tho Douglas street bridge, which la leased
and taxed separately, but which, Mr. Web
ster s:ild, Is practically cgnlnrt the Omaha
Street R!ilv;.y company. Mr. Webster ad
rrtlted Hint no objection had b-en made by
the company against a U.OTO.COO assessment
last year, but said this was not done be
cause ccrt iln questions of expediency In
tervened. However, he declared that the
value of all corporate property bad dropped
69 per cent In the last year. He denned
the value as the price on the market and
quoted decteaaoa In various railroads. In
cluding the rennvylvunla, from 175 to
I'nion Pacific from 130 to M, and the
VcMhwestern stock from 3si) to 105. If
K.,0t0.00 was an eiiullnbie assessment
year ago. hr!( tint sum would bo correct
r.ow. Mr. Webster contended.
With a tutil personal property a'fess
ment of trj.lK.TA the ntto.-ncy pointed out
thit the street railway hears one-sixth of
tlic valuatlcn of all the p -rsonal property
In the city ai d would pay a prop-intonate
amount of the tax. The a ngle fact that
individuals hive J'5.000,000 depoiltel In
Om ihi Lunkj showed thli propcrtl n llilc
ulo.is, he said. Another compirson le
d.t w was thr.t of the gross earrings of
tha company, M.0O:0, opposed to thj an
nua) bualr.ess nr the wholesale houses re
ported at $63,0u0,000.
nVrfcicad Makr. Itatemral,
Chalrni-in Huntington asked W. I. Kler-
stead, fj) ti a, member ot tho iiard of
Review, to make a statement concerning
the action of the board hi the street rail
way assessment. Kler3tead said the as
sessment never had been brought, officially,
befoio the board, but that the schedule,
aa well as those of the other public utl'lty
corporations, had not been railed up for
consideration, although he hud no doubt
they were accessible. Klerstead tald fur
ther thnt he had expressed tho opinion that
under the "whlfi and spur" of the Real
Estate exchange all the public service cor
porations had been taxed too hlg'i.
Harry D. Ried, who was chairman of
the board, rubstantlatcd Mr. Kl?rstead's
statements, but knew tha street railway
assessment had been raised by the commis
sioner to JC.OOO.OOO.
Commissioner .Fleming tald he had made
the raise previous to Novmeber 14, I ho
last day for tbe )91 asse-sm nt, and that
tho sworn return of the company did noc
conform wli fi tho biw. He cxpl lined that I
the acKea.mcnt was made on the grjuud
hat the dguren of a year ago were correct,
lit the valuable additions had been mad)
it ?hi property and that It bad been sold
.'vr $7,0OU,0uu In the meantime.
Mr. Webster said only f2,0X).CtV) actually
k:is pulil over and that the remainder of
tho consideration v.an by exchange of
stuck: further, that the nto.-l; th.it brought

rliinan Zlmmun und Mr. Webster became
ii'volved in a discussion of the sclencu of
llronce, which terminated in a resolution
to consider the street railway aii.-essment
at 3 o'clock this afternoon. A number of
tho couticilmen seemed to Incline to the
l,ooo,Oi.o reduction.

Char'.e n. Horton, supcilntendent of tha
Western Union Teleinapli conijuiny, has
Hied a prottst (igalnsl tlie valuing of Its
"alleged" franchise at J30,000. The Omaha
business amounts to 515,501.65 annually. It
Is? stated, but It U claimed that the re
ceipts "In the taxing district of Oniaha"
are but $1,009. Tho balancu In the bank
April 1, was. and this, it is
clnimed, is ttie amount which should be
taxed. Objections to the greater assess
ment are mauo on the ground that the
revenue law doea not authorize taxation
upon tross receipts unili April 1, lltJl; that
the eumpar.y does not enjoy u franchise
taxable In Omnha, and, lastly, that the
revenue law is invalid.

Railroad and express company officials
are trying to lpcate a corpse which they
believa whs shipped from San Francisco
and arrived in Omaha on its way to Ger
many about Januury 15. It is supposad
to be tlio body of the husband of Mrs.
Atllio Hauptstuek, who died a few iays
ago In Bt. Joseph's hospital.
Mrs. lUtille Huuptstuck. enrouto from San
FmnelBco to tlerumny, was taken off of u
I'nlou 'Pacific train at the Union depot
In Omaha, the evening of January 15. bhe
was suffering from a dislocated knee and
lntiriinl lijuili'o sustained from a fall on
tlio docks at Han Frunoisico. Tho Injured
woman wua In u serious condition and
was taken to St. JoMcph'. hospital In aii
ambulance, where, she died.
The case was In charso of Dr. I'pdegraft
and u Lnlon Pacific phybician. Upon an
cxamlr.atlon of the effects of Mrs. Haupt
ftutk letiiii-s and papers were found which
wept to show that she was accompanying
the body of her husband back to Germany
for burial.
As quick as It was ascertained that she
was in charge of her husband's body a
Beurch was begun for the remains, but
they could not be found, and it Is not yet
known what has Lecome of the corpse. The
ticket of tho woman read via the Union
Pacific, Milwaukee and Pennsylvania to
New York, from where Bhe was to sail for
Germany within the next few days.
Woman Inable to Talk.
Being In an unconscious condition when
removed from the trlu, and unable to
talk, no Information concerning her or her
relatives could be secured. From the in
formation contained In the papers In her
possession it was judged that she must
have relatives in California and a number
of lelegrums have been sent In an attempt
to locale them, which to far has not met
with success.
The woman's baggage went oil after she
was taken from tlio train here, but it was
ttltgraj-hed for and h.is been returned to
this city, where it is held.
Whut became of the body of Mrs. Haupt
stuck's husband is a mystery which is giv
ing the officials at Union Pacific head
quarters no end of trouble. It was stated
by an official there this morning that the
hunt would be kept up until the body is
found.
Dr. I'pdegraff and those in charge of the
chief surgeon's office at Union Pacific head
quarters refused to give out any informa
tion concernli'g the case.
It is thought barely posflble that the
woman might have landed in San Fran
cisco, having come from some of the South
-ea Islands or possibly from the Orient
with the remains of her husiiand, and color
Is lent to this belief by the fact that she
was injuied on the docks In San Fran
cisco.
