BIDS FOR SITES TO B OPENED TONIGHT
Board Claims Purchase of Ui4

Burned.
Some Interest attaches to the meeting
of the city council tonight. The council,
without the formality of consultlrg with th;
members of the board of Park Commis
sioners, has ordered the city clerk to ad
vertise for proposals for park sites. This
has been done and a number of sealed
proposals have been received. These will
be opened at the regular meeting tonight.
The members of the park commission wlll
be present to take note of the proceed
ings. At the last meeting of the park
board It was agreed under their chatter
rights that it Was within their powers to
disburse all the funds appropriated for
park' purposes. Including money for the
sites. They therefore agree also that they
have the right to examine and decide on
all bids for park sites and may accept or
reject them without the action of the coun
cil. Since from the nature of th sale
of the park bonds to Spltzer A Co. of To
ledo the money goes Into the hands of the
treasurer In the regular way, and since no
audi plan carried as was proposed by W.
J. Hayes Sons, In which ths bonds were
to be sold to the owners of park sites and
later sold to Hayes & Bong,- could be ef
fected., there lsr nA chance, that the money
be palifout' except liy' warrants.' ltere the
park board declare they will make their
decided objection. They say they have no
objection, to the council's advertising for
park sites If they feel so Inclined: but
they do say that before a purchase Is eN
fectod and the money paid over such a
purchase will have to have the sanction, of
the board. It in not thought that other
mattcra of Import will occupy the council.

"When I was about nine years old
mall sore appeared on each of ray
lower limbs. I sura tolled them with a
bras pin and
shortly afterwards
both of those lirabs
became so sore that
I could scarcely
walk. When I had
been suffering for
about a month th
sore began to heal,
but small scaly
eruptions appeared
where toe sore had
been. From that
time onward I waa
troubled by such
severe Itching that,
until I became
accustomed to it, 1 would scratch ' the
sores until the blood began to flow.
This would stop the itching for a few
days; but scaly place would appear
again and the itching would accompany
them. , After I suffered about ten yean
1 made a renewal effort to effect a cure.
The eruptions by this time had appeared
on every part of. my body except my
face and hands. The bewt doctor in my
native county adviwd me to use arsenio
in small doses and a salve. I then used
to 11 he the sores In a mixture which
fave almost intolerable paiu In add

sulphur, lino salve, .'a Halve,

NAVY PERSONNEL BILL GOOD
So gays Official of the Department
In Omaha Recently.
"One of the most Important measures now
before congress," said an official connected
with the Navy department In Omaha a
few days ago, "Is the nary personnel bill,
which Is strongly urged by ' President
Roosevelt, 'who understands the conditions
of the navy better than any .of his prede
cessors. The bill commends .Itself to the
public as no other navy personpel bill hag
yet done.
"The president's message showed that
most of the present captains In the uavy
are . m'ell advanced In years. They -ive
pent too many years In subordinate posi
tions, and they were too old at the time
of the development of the new battle fleet
to adapt themselves to the changed con
ditions. Borne 'have retained their . vigor
and power 0f initiative. Others find the
strenuous work of administering too severe
for them, even In time of peace, and age
rapidly under the' strain. Two years' In
command of a buttleshlp Is liable to add
ten years to a .man f age in time of peace,
if he Is not already familiar with the work
and Is not young enough and vigorous
enough In body and mind to stand the
strain.- In time "of War. vigor, strength and
endurance are essential. The president
shows that our officers arrive nt the rank
of captain at the age of W, are promoted
to the grade of rear admiral at SO, and
are retired two years later. We have many
rear admirals on the retired list, and all
line officers expect, if they live, to be re
tired in that grade. ' ' .-.
"The remedy r reposed Is briefly as ' fol
lows: Let the line of the navy be di
vided Into two lists; one, the seagoing
list, the other, the' reserve list for shore
duty only. The seagoing list would perform
duty at sea or oti shore, but It Would even
tually have to serve on shipboard most of
the time.
"The machinery for this elimination from
the seagoing list Is admirably designed.
In each case the selections are to be made
by boards of five officers of high rank,
sworn to do their duty without prejudice
or partiality, and having in view solely
the fitness of the officers and the efficiency
tf the naval service, and they must agree,
or at least four of them.. These board
are not to select men for promotion, they
are to select men for transfer to the re
serve list. Officers may apply for this
list, and. where there Is difficulty In agree
ment, their applications will undoubtedly
have considerable weight with the board.
'Lieutenant commanders transferred to
the reserve list would eventually be re
tired without further promotion; command
ers would have the rank of captain when
retired; captains the rank of commodore.
'As a result we should have eventually
our officers reaching the grade of com
mander at the age of 41. captains at 48
a4id rear admiral at 65.
"If we are never to have war, we don't
need to worry, except as to expense. The
proposed bill would result in a saving of
over i,Ou9.0O9 In the next seven years, and
an ultimate saying f about 11.000,000 a
year. But if we are 'again to have war. It
is important that we give our ships the
best commanders we can. They will be op
posed by young and vigorous men.
"We are going ahead with plans for the
fortification of the isthmian canal. It Is
possible that foreign powers, led by Ger
many and Japan, will dispute our preten
sions to holding the key to that lock all
alone. Tbey have Jealous eyes for all that
concerns sea commerce, and while they
profess warm friendship for' the I'nited
States, we cannot afford to go to sleep.
The' sooner we take the question to heart
seriously, the sooner will congress find out
that the people demand a ready navy."

Tick's Froposition.'
PRIVATE RIGHTS AND PUBLIC INTEREST
Property Owners Are. Protected, bat
the PaMIe Is Sot Deprived of
Its Dae by the Recent
Decision.
The attention of Judge Troup being called
to the somewhat extensive criticism of
County Treasurer Fink of the recent opin
ion In the scavenger suit -announced by
him, said:
"t'mler scarcely any other clreumstsnres
than the present could I 'be Induced to dis
cuss. In the nature of a, newspaper con
troversy, the quality of any of my acts
upon the bench. Put from the fact that
It seems that Mr. Fink, either from Ignor
ance or willfulness, persists in misrepre
sentation, notwithstanding he has been
plainly ndviscd of his errors, and from the
further fnct that the matter pertains to
the public revenue, a subject In which all
the people are concerned, I rrfake you this
brief statement, and this only:
"For more than three years I have pre
sided over the docket on which has been
pending the scavenger suit During all of
that time I have endeavored to labor hnrd
and conscientiously to the end that the law
should be administered aright and complete
Justice done in respect to this subject, as I
understood it.
"I think every attorney that came before
me during that time, whether representing
taxpayer or taxgatherer, will bear me out
in the statement that I did not permit a
single dollar of taxes, either general or
. special, to escape payment' If there existed
any fair, legal and Just ground for Its
enforcement.
Extent of "envenaer Snlt.
"The scavenger suit as originally com
menced consisted of something like 35.000
tracts, each one of which was considered
a separate suit. Of this number all but
about 1,100 have been put in decree. Of the
nearly J4.CO0 tracts In decree I have, not can
celled nor permitted to be cancelled to my
knowledge from beginning to end a single
dollar, either of principal or interest, of
general taxes excepting In two recent In
stances. The first of these was the can
cellation of a comparatively trifling amount
m a case, peculiar In Its nature, in' which
I was compelled under the express and re
peated rulings cf our supreme court to
hold the assessment void. The other Is the
one referred to by Mr. Fink wherein it was
disclosed by the undisputed evidence that
the taxing offl.-ers had flagrantly disre
garded every provision of the law respect
ing the right of the property owner to
some reasonable notice and opportunity to
uppear before the Board of Equallxation
nnd be heard upon the Justice of the val
uation of his property and the tax about
to be placed thereon.
"It was conceded by counsel on both sides
of this case that this was a fatal omla
slon. Yet notwithstanding that the owner
in this instance, after deducting a pro rata
valuation for the streets and alleys which
had since been dedicated to the city, paid
into the treasury, or will pay, the sum of
$1,000. which was admitted to be equivalent
to the principal of the original tax, the
city forfeiting the accumulated interest
only.
Error of Tnslasc Authorities.
1 have since held thnt the flagrant omis
sion on the part of the taxing officers to
iflve to thevpropefty owner some fair and
reasonable notice and opportunity at some
stage of the tax proceedlnrs prior to the
ultimate enforcement of - the tax -against
the owner's . property, to appear before
some competent tribunal and be heard 'as
to the justice of the valuation placed upon
his property, and the tax sought to be en
forced against the sume Is a Jurisdictional
defect, a taking of property without due
process of law, a constitutional ' pre
requisite which the legislature' Itself could
not dispense with, and the tax thus placed
Is void; that the legislature Itself, not
having tho power to dispense with this re
quirement in the first instance, It has not
the power ' to dispense with It by a so
cnlled curative act and thus -validate, an
otherwise absolutely Invalid tax.
"If this be not sound law. lei this 'emi
nent Jurist, Mr. Fink, point out wherein
It is defective. But I have likewise held
that the institution of the scavenger suit
does now afford all taxpayers, made de
fendants therein, ample notice and oppor
tunity to be heard In that suit, wherein
all complaints of injustice, lany, may be
adjusted and a Just and equitable tax de
creed therein. But that It follows, both
on authority and principle, that when the
tax was void at its inception no back in
terest can adhere to the tax thereafter
decreed, so that the interest at .most is all
that la liable to be forfeited.
Remedy for the Condition.
"For the benefit of Mr. Fink I will also
say that, notwithstanding the Homer de
cision by the supreme court, but by virtue
thereof, I have likewise held that con
firmation of 'sale shall not be withheld nor
snyi case already in decree opened up be
cause of the objection made that the tax
was void on the ground of the Jurisdictional
omission above referred to, but that the
property owner at this time will be rele
gated to his remedy at law or some othor,
action In that behalf for his relief "

36,000 pounds of coal.
The freight engines are a trifle lighter
a matter of some 8,000 pounds but this Is
not apparent to the casual observer. They
weigh only 3i,Cu0 pounds and are well
adapted for fast service. They are seventy-

GUILD BRINGSG00D NEWS
ays Omaha Interests Wen Many of
Their Propositions at t. Angns
tine Meeting-.
Commissioner John M. Guild of the Com
mercial club has returned from the meet
ing of the western classification committee
at St. Augustine. Fla., expressing satis
faction with general results attained In
matters Involving Omaha's commercial in
terests. "Of all the changes- asked for by our
people," he said, "Including even the most
radical, we were fortunate enough to win
out on about 36 per cent, and of those to
which we were opposed 90 per cent were
defeated. We hardly expected some of the
most Important things asked for, such as
carlo t rating on boots and shoes, hats and
caps afid other commodities, which have
heretofore had but one rating In any quan
tity, but we wanted to find out the prob
ability of securing carload rating In time.
We will present the matter nt the next
meeting of the committee.
"The cereal, coffee and baking powder
houses lost In their fight for the provision
to allow them to ship their product with
premiums at 110 per cent of the rate I
charged on It without premiums. The rep-J
resentatlves of the western markets were
particularly well organised against thle
scheme.
"We were successful in defeating perni
cious mixed carload rating propositions,
which. If allowed, would work Immense
hardship on the Missouri river Jobber, who
has built up his business on the straight
carload ratings, which have prevailed so
far.
"The revision of minimum weights was
discussed and will be brought up again at
the next session, the Missouri river Jobbers
favoring high minimum weights and the
eastern Jobbers low tninlmums.
"Uniform classification was touched upon
and It will be an Issue again. No one de
nies the desirability of a system of classi
fication which will do away with the large
number of classifications applying In dif
ferent sections of the country, but the east
and west cannot agree on a basis. If the
east should get the classification It wants
It would put our Jobbing houses out of
business with mixed carload ratings.
"The next meeting' of the committee will
be held at Frankfort, Mich., the third
Tuesday In July."

Mr. Dustln Farnum should like to come
to Omaha and so should Mr. Frank Cam
peau and Miss Mable Wright and those
other clever actor people who go to make
up "The Virginian"; for Mr. Farnum and
Mr. Campeau and Miss Wright and their
associates were given a splendid reception
last night at the Boyd. It was even more
remarkable than that Mr. Farnum and his
company received last year and that was
s real ovation. Last night's house was
filled and the popularity of play and players
was often manifested. Recalled several
times at the end of the second and third
acts, Mr. Farnum and others were feted
with applause until the fatal climax.
Mr. Farnum still makes a most admir
able hero, the one Owen Wlster portrayed
In his 'peerless little novel of the west;
but Mr. Farnum. while peculiarly endowed
by nature In general appearance and mien
for "The Virginian," has not yet quite
brought his southern part up to his west
ern yart. To get on all sides of that
Virginia character, with Its sc-ft, sweet
melody of accent, is indeed a difficult task;
one which Mr. Farnum meets with keen
intelligence, but not with quite the same
ease and success that he does that of the
westerner. But taken the combined part
he is the hero his audiences make him. He
brings out the nobility of the character
with all tts homely humors and boyish
gawklshness and Its sterling manliness to
a most satisfying degree.
Mr. Campeau, still shares the honor of
the atar. His friends remembered him and
greeted him with an ovation at his first
appearance no less marked than that ao
corded Mr. Farnum. Campeau'a Trampaa
la Just aa treacherous, truculent and base
as ever and Just aa true to nature; and
that full, that one writhe of convulsion
after the Virginian's fatal shot Is worth
going to see if ths rest of the play is left
out. Mr. Campeau is making himself a
greater actor each season.
Mlsa Mabel Wright takes the part of
Mollle Wood this season. Miss Mary B.
Conwell having filled it last year. Whether
all the young women back In Vermont, or
those out in Wyoming come up to Miss
Wright la perhaps not properly a matter
of , dissertation Just here and now, but
Just the same. Vermont'a all . right and
Wyoming's all right if they are all like
that, i Miss Wright's comely appearance
does not suffer in comparison with her
performance. When she utters that cruel
ultimatum, "If you do that thing, there'll
be no tomorrow for us," she wins a
plaudit, surely.
Several changes have been made in the
personnel of the company and some inter
' tanges of parts. Frank Vail, who last
year, played Nebrasky, this year la play
ing Honey Wlggin and doing mighty fine
work,-too. Nebrasky Is played by Craig
Mulr,. the Shorty of a year ago. Frank
Nelson still plays Baldy and these three
loyal friends of the Virginian are made the '
most or by these actors. Bennet Musson
continues In the part of the wretched Steve
and shows the Improvement that another
atason ought to give.
The piay is at the Boyd tonight, tomor
row and Wednesday nlghta, with a matinee
Wednesday.
"The l nforeseen" at the Rnrwood.
At the Burwood a new leading woman
and a play that had never been performed
In Omaha before afforded a combination
that kept the Interest of the Sunday audi
ences keyed up to the very last moment
at each performance. The play Is "The
Unforeseen," by Captain Robert Marshall,
who must have been to some degree under
the spell of his title, for It contains several
little turns that ran only be accounted
for In this way. The captain, however, Is
too good a campaigner to be bothered by
a trifle such as an Impasse, and if he has
to change front several timea in order that
his advance may be unimpeded, he does it
at least with a cheerfulness that amounts
almost to deception of the casual observer.
What seemed a very simple situation at
the beginning develops Into one somewhat
Involved, and necessitates resort to a melo
dramatic coup de theater, with the produc
tion of "papers'" to terminate the action
of the play at the psychological moment.
Miss Margaret Pitt, who has succeeded
Miss Adams as leading woman for the
Woodward Stock company, evinces sin
cerity in her work. Bhe Is given a role
of uncommon difficulty in the present bill,
but keeps It well in hand, and. fairly real
izes Its possibilities. Miss Pitt Is palpably
young, and handsome, and when she an
nounces her stage age as 25 the audience
accepts it as being somewhere very near
the mark. Her voice and manners are
good.
Mr. Morrison la asked to play the part
of a parson this week, a hero unrelieved by
either the odor of sanctity or the glamor
of romance. It doesn't give him much of
a chance, but he wrestles with it mightily,
and once or twice succeeds In Investing It
with something like human Interest. He
has a chance for a declaration of love that
Is very tenderly done. Mr. Hartford Is
cast for the only really human character
In the whole play, and he commits suicide
at the end of the first act. John Todd la
down for the role of the blundering friend
who makes trouble by having a memory
that works overtime when his forgvttery
should be on watch. It la a real Joy to
watch Mr. Schoefleld In the part of an
overgrown enfant terrible. He makee an
immense lot of fun out- of his part, and
