Celebrated German Scientiit Receives
Oration on Hii Arriyal.
AT ONCE ASKS OF PHONOGRAPH

Alright.
Prof. Wllhelm Lsermacher. known to the
scientific world as the foremost authority
on phonographic and auricular phenomena
and famous among the pleasure loving
public as the builder of the world s great
est phonograph, arrived In Omaha Monday
morning from St. Louis. He was met by
a delegation of cltlsens, headed by Mayor
Dahlman. and the party proceeded In three
automobiles through the business portion
of the c!ty, called at the newspaper offices
and finally left the distinguished scientist
and inventor at his hotel.
Frof. Ijiermacher Is decidedly Gorman In
appenranre. His tutlr Is black and his
beard, of the Governor Hughes' type, is
black and curly like that of Jove. He wore
the Inevitable glasses and carried the Inev
itable cane. A black suit and sort hat. with
patent leather shoes, completed his cos
tume. The mayor greeted him as he stepped
from the train, and the eminent scientist
shook hands cordially with Mayor Dahlman
and the other members of the committee.
His tlrst word was about the big phono
graph which, arrived In Omaha last week on
the two cars specially built to transport It.
All la Well with tha Professor.
"Pardon, but Is the phonograph safe?"
he said.
When assured that the machine was aafa
he sighed and placed a hand on his heart.
"Ah, then am I at rest," he said.
To the newspaper men the professor
graclouuly accorded an Interview. He
proved to be extremely modest regarding
his own accomplishment.
'The combining of the two principles of
the conveyance of sound waves and the
production of the same on the sensitive
wax cylinder were all which I needed to
make my discovery," he said. "Edison de
serves the thanks of the world for the
phonograph. What was the world before
the phonograph? A desert; yes, even worse
than a desert.
"Myself, I was born In Thurlngen. There
; still live with my wife and family
there are twenty-two of us. We believe
not In race suicide. Ten of my sons work
In my workshop. On them -I can depend
for doing the delicate work required In
making these sensitive Instruments.
"It was lute on tho evening of April 1
of this year when we succeeded In evolv
ing the problems that confronted us and
succesHfully completed this great machine.
It attracted the greatest attention In Ger
many. The kaiser sent me himself one of
his photographs with the royal signature
upon It. I prise this highly.
He Will Meet Teddy.
"In your city. I shall remain only long
enough to give tho great exhibition. Many
demand of me dates to give exhibitions.
1 meet In Keokuk the president October 1
Hnd go with hnn and the river commission
down the stream playing my marvelous
and beloved Instrument. The music will
be visible a distance of fifty miles on each
side of the river. My enemies say the in
strument will not work on a moving ship.
Them I will show."
On the reception committee were these:
Mayor Dahlman, H. J. Pcnfold, J. D.
Weaver, William Kennedy, J. J. Derlght,
Charles Black, Oscar I.leben and the news
papor men. Photographers and kodak
(lends snapped the professor at the station,
somewhat to the eminent scientist's annoy
ance. "Such things we have not In Germany,"
he said with a movement of disgust.
Many pressed forward to shake the prp
feHsor's hand. . At the newspaper offices
and business houses visited he made many
friends.
New Oss on the Ilarkeep.
An amusing Incident occurred at the
Rome hotel, where the distinguished vis
itor registered. He went to the bar and
called for a glass of "schnapps." The bar
tender declared that he could mix ninety
seven different kinds of drinks, but that
when they said "schnapps" tney certainly
"had him." The professor was considerably
Irritated that he could not get his favorite
drink. Happily at this juncture a retired
German bartender was found in the crowd
and he volunteered to make the mixture.
After he had drank It the professor shook
hands warmly with the bartender.

Remains Taken ' from River at Troy,
Km., Possibly Those of Miss
Wlnqolst.
Charles Wlnqulst of the Berg Clothing
company believes the body taken from the
river at Troy. Kan., .by the Doniphan
eounty authorities may possibly be that
of his daughter, Delia Wlnqulst. Hhe dis
appeared from her father's home, 2116 North
Twenty-seventh avenue, about four months
ago and all trace of her has been lost since.
An effort will be made to Identify the body.
It was taken from tha river last week and

Appeal Will Be Taken to the Sapreme
Co art of the State by the Heirs
of the Late Millionaire
Baaker.
The Herman Kountze estate must pay
Inheritance tax on over $1.7fl0,000 worth of
stocks and bonds transfertea by Herman
Kountse before his death," according to a
decision Just announced by County Judgu
Leslie. The case will be appealed by the
Kountze heirs to the supreme court and
If Judge Leslie Is sustained In the higher
body It will mean the addition of several
thousands of dollars to the permanent road
fund of the county.
The question as to whether or not this
property should be taxed was brought- be
fore the court by the appraiser, W. A.
Saunders, last summer.' In his report, Mr.
Saunders found the part of the estate
which was clearly taxable to be worth
7W,0!U.9. In addition to this he reported
that August 16,' 1904. almost three years
before his death, Mr. Kountse had trans
ferred In trust to Augustus P. Kountse the
bulk of his estate, consisting of stocks
and bonds, with a face value of 11,717.600.
Vnder thex terms of the trust deed A. F.
Kountse was tf Invest this part of the
property and look after it. Until his death
Herman Kountse was to enjoy the Income
from it and at his death It was to go to
his heirs.
Heirs Deay Aathorlty.
When an attempt was made to appraise
this part of the estate for inheritance tax
purposes the heirs denied tha authority of
the appraiser and he appealed to the court.
The order of Judge Leslie, issued Monday,
directs him to prooeed to appraise it
The objections of the heirs was based on
the fact that the property had been re
moved frout Douglas county to New York.
They contended the tax could not be levied
here as the situs of the property was New
York. They also claimed immunity because
the property had already been taxed In
New York. Judge Leslie upheld the con
tention of County Attorney English that
the tax was not upon the property, but
upon the transfer and this transfer was
actually made In Douglaa county and the
property afterward removed. He held the
trust deed was made in contemplation of
death and was Intended to take effect after
the death of the grantor and as such was
taxable In this county. The face value of
the property listed in the trust deed Is as
follows:
(,u0 shares Texas Land and Cattle
company ( t 666.000
1,144 shares United Real Estate and
Trust company 624,400
