The assessment of the Orchard A Wil
helm Carp't nd Furniture company was
Increased from S75.WO to $100,000 at the re
quest of the Willis Lend company, which
wanted an assessment of I23U.000 by the
Board Of Equalization yesterday. This was
dona after Attorneys Breen and Pratt, for
the complainants, had submitted some
evidence and Congressman-elect Kennedy,
appearing 'or tl)e furniture company, had
objected to procedure of any kind In view
of the fact that Mr. Wllhrlm, the treasurer,
had gone to California before he knew
hut the assessment mutter would be
brought before the bord. According to Mr.
Kennpdy, Mr. Wlllielm was the only c.m
cer or employe familiar In detail with the
stock and In position to answer with
authority questions regarding It.
The hearings of tha the Carpenter Paper
company and Herman Kountze, set for
yesterday afternoon, were postponed un-
tll Saturday morning, the first because I.
W. Carpenter Is out of tha city and the
second because H. 8. McDonald, who la to
appear aa a witness for the complainants,
haa Just suffered the loss of his father by
death and could not well appear.
The hearings brought out a number of
distinguished lawyers, Including C. J.
Smyth, John C. Cowin, I. E. Congden and
Congressman-elect Kennedy.
Mr. Congden, who appeared for Herman
Kountse, declared that the complaints
were Insufficient, Inasmuch as they did not
pretend to show the discovery of property
in addition to that shown In Mr. Kountie's
sworn return of $:il,000. He contended that
It rested with the complainants to prove
the existence of other property and that
the law did not contemplate calling In a
citizen who had complied with all the re
quirements and the right to let hfm be
questioned In all ways concerning his busi
ness. Such a proceeding Mr. Congden de
nounced as "an outrage." He denied that
he had admitted before the county board
that Mr. Kountze had 11,000,000 worth of
stock In the Texaa Land and Cattle com
pany. Mr. Kennedy's contentions regarding the
Orchard & Wilhelm case were somewhat
the same aa Mr. Congden's, only he
pleaded the "policy" that should be fol
lowed and did not deny the power or au
thority of the board In the premises. He
explained Mr. Wllhelm's absence and said
he would be gone for several weeks.
Attorney 'Breen announced that he was
prepared to show Mr. Wilhelm had ad
mitted the stock to be worth at least $150.
000, and although Mr. Kennedy protested
that he could not well proceed until the
treasurer of the. firm returned the council
allowed Attorney Pratt to take the stand.
His evidence, given In the face of objec
tion by Attorney Kennedy, was to the
effect that Mr. Wilhelm hnd admitted be
fore the last Board of Review that Invoices
showed the stock to be worth at least
1150.000. On cross-examination he admitted
that the sworn return of the company
showed an Indebtednea of $75,000.
Upon the motion of Councilman Zlmman
the assessment was Increased to llOO.Ooo,
or the figures originally decided upon by
Tax Commissioner Fleming.
A. B. Alplrn, reputed to be the "king"
of tha Junk business In Omaha and vicin
ity, appeared upon citation, and after a
hearing had his business assessment raised
from $800 to $16,000. he admitted that he had
$10,000 worth of old Iron and other material
on hand and about $2,000 worth of new
goods, which he sells ostensibly as agent.
This Is one of the results of Tax Commis
sioner Fleming's Inquiries Into the local
Junk business,
If the railroads Intend to protest agnlnst
advances of more than $1,000,000 In their
local assessments they must ' do It this
morning, as citations which have been Is
sued commands their representatives to ap
pear or the increases will be made regnrd
lesa by multiplying the returns of the State
Board of Equalisation by five. ,

Some four Tear ago I was guttering

tired feeling that made me feel miserable.
I began the use of 8. 8. S., and after
taking seven or eight bottle my akin was
cleared of all eruptions and took on a rud

blood had been restored to its normal,
healthy condition. My appetite was re
stored, aa I could eat anything put before
me, and as I regained my appetite I in
creased in weight, and that ' tired feeling"
which worried tut 00 mucn disappeared,

BENSON SALOONS WILL RUN
.Indue Troup Makes Decision on
Some Points Raised by
Attorneys.
Ed Welch, John Sorcnson and William
Huntzlnger will not have to close the sa
loons they are now conducting In the vil
lage of Benson, at least not for the pres
ent. Judge Troup has rendered a decision
that partly grants the prayer of the alter
native writ of mandamus secured by Har
vey J. Grove and others, and partly denied
the relief prayed;
The writ contemplated the transcribing
of all the testimony and all the papers In
the case by the village board and at Its
expense, also the recalling of the licenses
granted and the closing of the' saloons,
pending the decision on the appeal.
Judgo Troup holds that the village board
of Benson must have written out and
transcribed all the testimony and the
papers constituting the record In cases
where remonstrances are filed against the
granting of licenses. The board Is not re
quired to transmit to the district court
such record when so transcribed. That is
the duty of those who, desire to take an
appeal from the decision of the board, and
the appellants must pay the fees required
by law.
As the court also finds that no appeal
has In fact been taken up to this time. It
will not' order the village noarrt to recall
the three licenses In question and close the
saloons to which the licenses were granted.
The court was emphatic In saying that
the village board should have at once com
plied with the plain provisions of the law
requiring the transcribing of the records
and testimony, and, having due notice of
an Intention to appeal from Its decision,
should have withheld the licenses for a
reasonable time o allow the remonstrators
to prove their good faith In pressing th
appeal, but, the licenses . having been
granted and paid for and no appeal having
been perfected, they would not at this
time be ordered recalled. ,
A question arose, on motion of counsel
for the board, as to whether, the alterna
tive writ covering more ground than it
should, ought to be denied altogether. The
court found It shoald not be so denied, but
that what relief they could properly claim
should be allowed the relators. This means
the board will have the testimony tran
scribed and the remonstrators must
transmit It to the district court In order to
perfect their appeal.
Immediately after the ruling of the court
was announced the taking of testimony
was proceeded with.
There were numerous witnesses and it
was a strenuous contest between counsel
all the way through. Attorneya for Harvey
J. Orove, L. J. Piattl and J. E. Reagan,
had the task of proving good faith as a
basis for the remonstrance and the appeal
which Is attempted to be taken from the
action granting the licenses. Attorneys for
the respondents, Messrs. Clapp, Hamilton
and Tuttle, opposed this effort at every
step and a good many of their objections
were sustained. Question and objection fol
lowed each other for several hours, and
the end Is- not yet

THE OMAI1A DAILY
AFFAIRS AT SOU HI OMAHA
Ntw Bonding Proposition to Raiss Mousy
far Firemen and Polioe.
125,000 IS NAMED AS THE SUM WASTED
Police Board Wishes to Bay a Bite
and Erect a Fire Hall and
Also Desires to Increase
the Force.
From present Indications there seems to
be no limit to the propositions to Issue
bonds for Improvements of various kinds.
The latest bond deal discovered Is one
whereby the Fire and Police board expects
to have the legislature authorize the mayor
and council to Issue bonds In the sum of
$26,000 for the purchase of a site, the erec
tion of a fire hall and the purchase of ad
ditional apparatus, A portion of this sum
Is to be used, so It Is stated, to Increase
the present police force. The fire depart
ment now maintains three hose companies.
The thief Is paid $100 a month, the assIM-
ant $M) and three captains $"J a month. Six
firemen are paid at the rute of $70 a month,
making a total monthly pay roll of $X40.
In the police department eighteen men are
given employment. There Is a chief at $100
a month, a captain at so. one detective at
WO, two Jailors at $T0 and thirteen patrol
men at $70 each, making a monthly pay
roll of $1,830.
Mr. Nixon of the Police board Insists that
If the mayor and council can be given au
thority by the legislature to Issue J2CO.O0O in
sewer bonds, It can give the same officials
the power to Issue $J6,0O for additions to
the fire and police departments. Membi ra
of the board want to put the commission
ers on a footing where a secretary under
salary can be employed to keep the records.
For a year or more the Police board haa
been trying to find some way to purchase a
piece of property and erect a building for
fire department headquarters. The city now
owna the ground and building at fire hall
No. 2 and owns the building at fire hall No.
3, the ground being leased for a term of
years. No. 1 Are hall Is rented, and has
been for the last ten or twelve years.
While almost every resident in the city
will admit that both tho fire and police de
partments should be increased, the bond
proposition does not stem to take very
well. The annual interest on outstanding
bonds Is now about $4,O0O and with the
addition of sewer and tire and police bonds
there will be no end to the Interest.
In the matter of the city hall and park
bonds litigation there seems to be nothing
new It Is understood In a general way that
this matter will be argued during the va
cation period. Neither side appears very
anxious to push matters and In the mean
time the mayor and council cannot issue
bonds for the purchase of a site for a city
hall building, nor enter Into a contract
for the purchase of park property.
John Zalondlk Arrested.
Thursday afternoon the police arrested
John Zalondlk on a charge of assault with
intent to do great bodily Injury. The as
sault alleged was committed on Bunduy
evening last at Twenty-fourth and Q
streets upon Charles Williams and John
Hubert, colored. The assertion Is made that
Zalondlk struck the colored men with a
piece of hose loaded with shot. As soon
us Zalondlk was arrested he was furnished
ball In tho sum of $00 and was permitted
to depart pending the hearing, which is to
be held in police court this afternoon.
Charter Committee Meeting.
It appears to be the understanding that
the charter revision committee is to meet
on Sunday for the purpose of suggesting
amendments to tho charter. In this con
nection City Attorney Lambert said that
he had already given to the press all the
suggestions ho had to make, and as he had
these amendments prepared he was waiting
upon the action of the committee. A
committee from the police board is ex
pected to attend this meeting to see if
something cannot be done either in the
bond issuing line or by an Increase In the
levy for the maintenance of the lire and
police departments.
Finish First Ice Crop Saturday.
Superintendent Sheehy of the Cudahy
Packing company said last night that the
first crop of ice would be harvested by
Saturday night. "By this time," said Mr.
Sheehy. "we will have put away 5,000
tons of Ice, which Is considered a very good'
showing for the first crop. The Ice at Sey
mour lake thiB winter Is exceptionally lino
and the rise in temperature has aided the
work greatly, as the men can work faster
and to much better advantage than during
the extremely cold weather." The Cudahy
company expects to store away about 6J.0OO
tons oft Seymour lake this winter.
Llmeaelc Kot Wanted.
James Llmesek was arrested yesterday
and marked hold for Investigation. The
South Omaha police had an idea that the
prisoner had been Implicated in some saloon
and street car holdups. Several men, in
cluding street car employes, were sent for,
and as they failed to Identify Llmesek, he
was given his liberty last evening.
Chief Brlggs said that he was not at all
discouraged by the release of this man, but
Intended to keep on locking up all bus
plcious characters found In the city.
City Buying- Dirt.
The city officials have purchused about
150 yards of dirt from contractors doing
some grading near Twenty-fourth and J
streets. This dirt has been bought for 7
cents a yard and la being wasted on the
weft, side of Twenty-third street between
L and M streets. A permanent sidewalk
haa been ordered In this district, but as
there is a big hole along this side of the
street, the city is luylng a foundation for
a walk. The owner of the property has
signified his willingness to lay a permanent
walk Just as soon as the ground where
the walk ought to be Is filled in.
Grading; 81111 Continues.
Even 'with the cold weather graders are
at work cutting down the big bank on the
south side of J street, between Twenty-
fourth and Twenty-fifth streets, The cot-
tagea that were formerly locuted on the
hill have . been moved and the property
ownera are putting their lots down
grade. On the north side of the street A.
H. Murdock Is preparing to have his
property graded so that by the time the
worg in tni vicinity is completed the

Preliminary Meetings Insiests Intense In

LOCAL PASTORSHEAD THE MOVEMENT
Prayer Medians Held la All flUl rlcts
Already and Others grherinled
Preparatory to Effort that
Starts Sunday Mxlit,
The consensus of opinion of the Omaha
pastors and Christian people Is to the effect
that the outlook for the revival effort,
which, begins Sunday, night In all the dis
tricts, is the best that Omaha has ever
had. As a matter of fact, events would
seem to Indicate that the revival had
already begun. In all the districts special
meetings have already been held, and In
all but two or three of the smaller districts
union meetings have been held. In every
case with large attendance and most
promising interest.
Wednesday night a special union preyer
meeting was held In the tmmanue! Baptist
church, the churches of the Kountze Place
district uniting. The meeting was led by
Rev. P. H. McDowell. The building was
well filled, and the audience were deeply
moved. Another meeting will be held to
night In tho Knox Presbyterlun church, led
by Rev. A. J. Folsom.
The North Side district has also held two
special prayer meetings this week and has
planned for two more. Tuesday night Rev.
Lindsay led a meeting at the Seward Street
Methodist church, which was well
attended. Wednesday night at the
United Evangelical church Rev. New
man Hall Burdick led a meeting.
The church wss filled with members and
friends of the different North Side churches
uniting in the movement. The subject con
sidered was "The Holy Spirit In a Re
vival." Last night a similar meeting was
held at the Calvary Baptist church, led
by Rev. L. Gron, and tonight an
other meeting at the Second Presbyterian
church, led by Rev. J. E. Cury.
The Central district held a largely at
tended prayer meeting nt the First Con
gregational church, led by Rev. E. Comble
Smith. The Interest was most satisfactory.
Another union prayer meeting will be held
tonight at the Central United ITesbyterlan
church, led by Rev. J. E. Hurnmon. Fri
day night nnothcr meeting of tho same
nature will be held at the First Christian
church.
In Hanscom park, which district was the
only one of all the districts organized for
special meetings last winter, a prayer
meeting whs held In the Westminster
Presbyterian church Wednesday night
which filled the room. The subject was
"Our Responsibility for Those Out of
Christ." In this district parlor meetings
have been both popular and effective.
There have been as many as thirteen o;
these meetings held simultaneously, with
an average attendance of ten to fifteen.
This district is the first one to report
preparations for a religious census of its
population.
Tho Tenth and Caatellar streets district
Is holding prayer meetings in its several
churches, their locations making it Impos
sible to hold union meetings. The attend
ance at these meetings Is reported as sat
isfactory and prospects for a good work
are seen.
In South Omaha there have been held a
good number of parlor meetings, as well as
well attended church meetings.
The Walnut Hill district reports a good
degree of interest In the meetings already
existing. Prayer meetings have been held
as in other places.
