Rock Island Divide
the Resnalariet.
It Is estimated tliat not less than 900 can
of grain will be shlpTd Jrom Omaha to
the gulf for export. - The easct amount. It
is believed, will exceed these figures. The
corn will be shipped from Galreton and
New Orleans, but how 'm,uch of the grain.
If any, la Intended for use n the far cant
cannot be estimated.
Some difficulty le being- experienced In ne
edling cara, is the grain will be ready for
Immediate shipment. The Missouri Pacific
will secur pearly V4 ears and the re
mainder will be divided between the Burl
ington and the Rock Island. Borne of the
grain will be sent through without trans
fer, but much of the corn will have to be
transferred from the Union Pacific and the
Northwestern, and these are the shipments
which are Inconveniencing- the southern
carriers. All the cars that can be for
wardod here have been asked for and are
ljclng rushed to the Omaha terminals,
Borlloarton Carries Mess Beef.
Duplicate bills of lading for the big ship
ment of mess beef Intended for the field In
the far east are being made out at the
Burlington office. There are 4,000,000 pounds
of meat In the shipment, and the last car
load Is on the way. The beef will be taken
on board ships at Tacoma, but Its destina
tion from that point is uncertain. It Is
not positively known who the beef Is In
tended for. It has been supposed that it
whs Intended for export to Japanese ports,
but this Is not definitely known, and the
meat may be Intended for the Russian
armies. It is believed that in order to
avoid the secret of Its destination becoming
known the bill of lading will be cashed by
one of the banks and the draft will be
collected la the usual way. The beef Is
nhlpped to the order of Cudahy & Co. at
Tacoma, where it will be released to the
consignee, who in this Instance will be the
owners of the vessels. The beef is shipped
at the risk of the buyer.

'Phoae.
There Is more than one way of killing a
dog besldea choking him to death with but
ter. There Is also more than one way to
clog up a public telephone without filling
it with coins of the realm. For several
days the public telephone at the union
depot haa refused to work and yester
day a taan had to be sent down to fix It.
The telephone has a slot attachment. Th
operator at the central station tells by the
tone of the bell when the proper coin hat
been dropped Into the maw of the machine,
but when the Inwards of the machine were
taken out this morning a shocking condi
tion of public morals was unearthed. It
waa discovered that th public Isn't always
particular what It drops Into th slot If It
wants to prattle with some one and has
not the necessary coin In its pocket.
When th machine was taken apart the
man found three metal beer checks which
had evidently been used for quarters.
Two nlckles with holes In them had also
been used. A thread had been fastened to
the coins, with th evident purpose of ex
tracting them when the bell had given the
proper signal, but th coins had dropped
down too far and could not be pulled back.
Pieces of thread were still attached to the
coins. A thin key had been dropped Into
on of the slots to ring the bell and a num
bered metal check which had been removed
from a hotel key waa another Item. There
was counterfeit coin galore, besides a
string of small shot and other metal which
it had evident been hoped would ring the
bell. The miscellaneous collection of old
Junk finally was dug out and the telephone
Is again In good working order, but an eye
will be kept on the public hereafter to see
that it does not try to cheat the down
trodden Bell Telephone company.
ROBB CASE NEABS THE FINISH
Evidence All In aad Argument Will
, Be Postponed for Several
Hays.
The testimony In the Robb divorce case
waa finished yesterday afternoon. Th morn
ing waa given to additional evidence and
rebuttal by both Mr. and Mrs. Robb. Noth
ing new waa brought out by either.
Mrs. Robb said the only kind words her
husband had addressed to her In 1902 were
on two occasions, on when he wanted
her to tear up a note which she had found
In his clothing, and at another time when
he told her she could not regain her health
under the conditions In which they were
living and she had better take the child
ren and go to the home of her mother.
Mrs. Robb admitted she had made a copy
of the note before tearing up the original
at the request of her husband.
The argument In the case will not be
made for several days. After the close of
th evidence attorneys asked to have
some of the testimony extended which will
take a day or two before they make their
summing up.

NO ATTEMPT TO BOOST THE RAILROADS
Board of Review Aeeepta Flgarea of
state Board, Which City Eoaal
Isers Will Be Asked to
Multiply by Five.'
Efforts of the Willis Land company to
Increase the personal assessment of the
Nebraska Clothing company resulted In
an advance of 16,000 over the voluntary
return by the Board of Review.
The complaint asked that the assessment
against this firm be fixed at 8600,000. M.
Levy, president of the company, appeared
In response to a citation, but did not bring
his books or Insurance policies with him,
as requested. Attorney E. D. Pratt waa
able to extract very little information
from Mr. Levy, but the board after th
hearing decided t make th assessment
an even $100,000, or. 110,000 more than laat
year.
Mr. Levy followed the example set by
3. L. Brandels St Sons and asserted he
was not obliged to produce books and
Inventories and disclose the private trans
actions of his firm. No attempt waa made
to compel him to do so.
"That la one drop of blood, anyhow,"
said Attorney Pratt after the raise of
86,000 had been made. "The other persons
and firms cited ar expected to come In
between now and December 15, when the
board closes its sessions. I think some of
those cited will give information that will
result In appreciable increases in their
assessments."
In addition to the 100,000 on stock the
Nebraska Clothing company' will pay taxes
on an assessment of $175,000 for its realty.
Thompson-Belden Agree to Raise.
The assessment of the Thompson-Belden
company, which declined to make a sworn
return, has been fixed by the board at $66,
000, or $10,000 more than last year. Repre
sentatives of the firm appeared in response
to personal invitations and agreed to th
assessment made.
No attempt will be made by the board to
secure a higher assessment of railroad
property and the returns of the State Board
of Equalisation will be accepted. The legal
department has advised th board to do
this Inasmuch aa the questions Involved In
the local assessment of railroad property
are now pending In court. The city Board
of Equalization will be asked to multiply
the figures of the state board by five, the
same as was done last year, on the theory
that the basis used was a one-fifth valua
tion, whereas the city la taxing on the falB
cash value of all property. The transporta
tion companies paid the taxes for 1904, but
did so under protest.
The franchlsed public service corporations
will not be considered until th closing days
of the session of the Board of Review. No
Irtlmatlon haa been given yet that any of
the corporations will demand a reduction
In the assessments proposed by Tax Com
missioner Fleming. If they do, however,
the tax committee of the Omaha Real Es
tate exchange Is waiting for them and will
contest any decrease. The tax committee
has decided not to mix in the city assessing
this year unless absolutely necessary, and
will hardly take any action unless the
public service corporations show a disposi
tion to take down their assessments from
the figures forced by the Omaha Real Es
tate exchange three years ago.

duced to $6,000, which she refused to ac
cept, and the case was retried during the
present term of the United Statea circuit
court, occupying thirteen days, with th
result of a verdict being given in her favor
for $7,500.

CITY ELECTIONJN THE FALL
Purpose of One Bill .Douglas County
Legislators May Introduce
at Lincoln.
"1 have beard rome talk of havlrg a char
ter amendment parsed by the legislature
putting our municipal election over until
fall," says City Clerk Elbourn. "The rea
son for doing this would be the economy
of the move. About $8,00) could bo saved
the city by doing this and combining the
city, oounty and state elections. There Is a
prevailing sentiment that we have too
many elections and that we are no sooner
through with one than another follows on
Its heels. Of course the change would ex
tend the tenures of present officeholders
six months, but I do not think there would
be any serious objection to this. It must
be admitted that at present our election
machinery Is top-heavy and much more
expenslvo than it should be.
"Another change that the Douglas county
legislators may demand, so I am Informed,
Is one In the election laws ro thnt voting
machines can be used In Omaha and Doug
las county economically. At present the
law practically bars the machines by lim
iting the number of voters to each one to
300." I
