It Is not at all unlikely that some mem
bers of the Bosrd of Assessment will urge
the next legislature to wipe out all appro
priations by levy and urge the enactment
of a law requiring that appropriations be
mado solely by direct appropriations of
definite sums. This feeling on the the part
of some of the officers is due to the enor
mous increase In the assessment of prop
erty. Three counties heard from unoffi
cially show an Increase over last year of
19.00,0i.0. This includes Douglas county
with Its 111,000.000. At. this rate the In
crease In actual value will be somewhere
around the lano.OOO.ooO mark. This would
mean an Increase In the assessed valua
tion of fflO.OnO.OOO. Members of the board
believe the time has come when appropria
tions should be made definite and not by
levy.

Two Stories ef . Kldaaplnsr.
The kidnaping of Mrs. Earl Bhevaller.
daughter-in-law of the beneficiary of the
Horn will, has another side to it. Lsst
night Mrs. Shevaller. ove rher vigorous
protests, was taken from the home of her
mother-in-law by a city detective, loaded
Into a hack and taken to the court house,
where she made a statement to be used In
the Horn will case. Then she was taken
home, since which time she has been con
fined to her bed with nervous prostration.
The lawyers mentioned as haying partici
pated In the kidnaping were County Attoor
ney Tyrrell, Ed Strode and D. J. Flaharty.
At the time the woman waa, taken from
her home she waa in consultation with
T. J. Doyle, an attorney for the bene
ficiary. This morning when the case was
resumed, the matter waa called to the at
tention of the court and Ed Strode de
manded that Mrs. Shevaller ? sent for.
He announced that she would testify that
she had come to the court house of her
own accord, and that she said she would
nretend to be 111 In order that her rela
tives woould not abuse fier. The attorneys
for Mrs. Shevaller did not Insist that she
be sent for. Judge Tibbetts, one of the at
torneys for the contestants, who was not
at the kidnaping, made this statement:
Mrs. Shevaller had her brother telephor
to an attorney that she desired to be taken
away from the home of her mother-in-law,
as she was afraid to stay there any longer,
n.i that if m hark was sent for her she
would make a statement regarding some of
Mrs. Horn's oroDertT. She pretended 10
object to being taken away, in order to
keep her relatives from knowing what she
intended doing.
Mrs. Bhevalier the elder, who !s a bene
ficiary of the Horn will, haa been charged
with holding out property belonging to the
estate, and the statement of the younger
woman la supposed to bear on that.
Heirs Look for Estate.
The attorney general and the secretary
of sfate wcrutd ITke to' know-If anyone knows
nvihinar about Michael Walsh," who is
supposed to have died somewhere n Ne
braska recently, leaving an estate valued
at $80,000," without any heirs to claim It
and a will to show how the estate should
be distributed. Two letters were ; received
at the state house today by these two of
fleers, each making Inquiries regarding the
estate and each claiming relationship with
the dead Michael. The letters were from
different parts of England and while neither
may result In obtaining an estate the
writers may find some long lost relatives.
The one to the attorney general was
signed by Patrick Walsh, who claims .to
be a son of the dead man, and the other
was from Mrs. Mary Tynan, a niece of
Michael and a daughter of Thomas Walsh.
Both letters say tbst Michael W'alsh and
Thomas Walsh came to America some
time in the early sixties and for a time a
correspondence waa kept up, but for many
years nothing was ever heard of Michael.
Patrick came to America In the eighties
and made a search for Michael and got
Information that he had located in Ne
braska. Hla hesh failed himself and
he went back to England without finding
his father. Both letters contained a clip
ping from a Manchester paper saying
Michael Walsh had died In Nebraska and
left an estate valued at l&O.QOO and unless
his heirs were discovered the estate would
revert to the state. In the Patrick Walsh
letter the writer says he haa some rela
tives living In another part of England,
but he does not know where. The attor
ney general Is of tie opinion he can unite
the family even if he can't find traces of
th large estate.

With a capital of $100,009 the C. P. R. K.
Company" has been organised and ob
tained a lease on the three-story warehouse
at Tenth and Farnam streets, opposite the
Burlington headquarters, and has opened
a wholesale leather goods and trunk house.
The firm Is composed of C. E. Charnqulst,
formerly of the Farmers and Merchant
bank at Lindsey. Neb., who is vice presi
dent and treasurer; Irving W. Pope of
Chicago, who is secretary, and T. S. Kelly
of Omaha, president.
Mr. Kelly has lived In Omaha for six
years and besides being sn officer in the
Western Land and Cattle company has
been an Investor In western land.
The company will occupy the entire build
ing 50x132 and a large part of the stock has
already arrived. The line Includes every
thing made of leather from watch fobs to
sole leather automobile trunks.
President Kelly said: "For some time an
exclusively leather goods house has been
needed In the west and by locating In
Omaha we will have the field all to our
selves. The house in Omaha is the only
one of its' kind west of Chicago and we
hope - to make It one of the largest In
America. Omaha certainly offers the facil
ities for distribution and the co-operation
which has been promised us by the whole
salers and retailers of the city is certainly
better than anything we could ask. Through
the Commercial club the wholesalers
learned of our business and' we already
have contracts for sample trunks and sam
ple cases which a new firm could hardly
expect to get on the start.
"For patronising a home house I don't
believe the business men of Omaha can
be equalled and it Is going to make othlr
houses In various lines poeslble."
Besides carrying the stock which will fill
the building," the company will represent
exclusively In western territory three of
the largest trunk and grip manufacturers
In the United States.

Foxy Lew During the recent floods a
pond covering a few acres of nice pasture
land In Lew Flanagan's timber formed.
Lew wanted it drained, but hated to dig the
deep ditch, so he toid the neighbors he
wished It was off his land. Next we knew,
numerous stories got afloat of how big fish
had been seen swimming like torpedo boats
across the little lake, and all kinds of
speculations were made as to how many
pounds of fish were In the place. Wednes
day a party of ten lads got together and
Journeyed to the pond to dig a ditch to
drain it. Then they expected to pick up
a wagonload of fish. All afternoon they
dug and sweat. Lew was across the creek
laughing, we think. He couldn't get across
because of the high water. When the
water had nearly all run out. Lew came
out and thanked the boys. All the boys
got was a few giant tadpoles. Lew has

ELKS OBSERVE HAG DAY
Attend Special Services at All Saints'
Church Arranged by Rev. Mackay
EVERY DAY LOYALTY IS NXED ED
Minister "are Cltlsene Saoald Strive
to Live True to Flag at All
Times as Christians to
the Cross.
Flag day was observed Sunday by Omaha
lodge No. 39, Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks, by attending In a body
services at All Saints' Episcopal church In
the morning. Nearly 200 Elks marched
from the club rooms to the church, where
seats were reserved for them In the front
of the auditorium. Rev. T. J. Mackay, the
rector of All Saints' church, preached a
special sermon, addressed to the Elks.
"Today you are gathered here to do honor
to the flag of our country, to that flag
which has never known defeat, to that
flag which has never yet been sullied,"
said Rev. Mr. Mackay In opening his ad
dress. "In no lodge with which I am acquainted
or In any secret society I know of Is the
flag of our country given such a place
of honor or held In such a spirit of rever
ence as in our order of the Elks. Cover
ing the altar, this flag of our country
supports the Bible and ths laws of the
lodge. It Is right, then, tfiat we should
respect the flag, for under Its protecting
folds we can worship Ood in freedom of
thought and freedom of speech.
Flag: aad Cress Sacred.
"What secures to us ireedom today, what
would be our ohurch or our school today
were it not for the flag of our country
and that Immortal declaration which an
nounced to all the world that all men are
born free and equal, a declaration which
brought our flag Into being?
"As Christians we revere the cross of
Christ, the Christian emblem of liberty,
though In the past It was made the emblem
of .oppression and strife, for He .who was
crucified (thereon was the Way, the Truth
hnd the Light, and no man cometh unto
the Father but Htm. I welcome every
move to make the flag more sacred and to
make the cross more sacred, and woe be
unto this land when the flag and the cross
cease to be revered.
"We must educate our children to look
upon the flag with the same spirit of
reverent devotion as they look upon the
cross. What Is the flag but a piece of
bunting, or the cross but a piece of brass?
But, oh, the memories that cluster around
this piece of bunting and this piece of
brass. We must labor to Inspire love and
true loyalty to these sacred emblems In
the hearts of our children, and to prove to
them and to all men our loyalty to the
flag and to the cross. It Is not necessary
to die for our country to prove our -loyalty
to the flag, It Is sometimes harder to live
our loyalty,
"We cannot be true patriots and truly
loyal to our country unless we serve It all
the time. I do not mean that we must
be engaged In war, but that we must live
our loyalty every day and be In truth true
cltlsens. Do not make the mistake so many
Christians make of serving Christ on Sun
day and the devil the rest of the time.
We should serve our country 'all the time
as Christians should their Christ. But as
a nation we are, thank God, advancing
towards more true loyalty and devotion to
our country and Its flag, I believe. Publlo
lands are being conserved for honest set
tlers, the forests are being saved and great
corporations being made to feel that others
have rights In that land of the free and
home of the brave. t
"There Is no sych flag as the Stars and
Stripes which so proudly waves over our
land. Its brilliant red Is symbolical of the
blood spilled In Its defense. Its white typi
fies purity and its blue depths of purpose,
and the stripes stand for the scourges of
oppression now wiped from our fair land
by grace of the flag.
"I bid you thrice welcome to this house
of Ood, where we keep ever displayed the
banner of the cross, not to be worshiped,
but as a symbol: and we can only be loyal
to the cross and to the flag in proportion
to the manner in which we love and re
vere that which they stand for."

iionors for his creation of the role of a
nervous wreck. Miss Duke and Mr. Wallock

MOHLER GOEsI'fLOODTOWN
Vice President aad Enarlneer Haatley
of Vslon Pacific Look After
Their Interests.
A. L. Mohler, vice president of the Union
Pacific, and R. L. Huntley, chief engineer,
went to Kansas City Sunday to be on the
ground during the trouble with the high
water. The Kaw river and,' the railroads
entering Kansas City have been the source
of considerable litigation during the last
few years, some maintaining that the
Union Pacific and the Missouri Pacific
bridges were or.e cause of the water being
backed up Into Armourdale. Three years
ago testimony was taken for four weeks
as to the slse of the channel of the Kaw.
The annual recurrence of the high water,
which puts that section of the city out of
business and blocks the railroads, has now
shown that something must be done. Sev
eral times an attempt has been made
through the courts to force the railroads to
raise the bridges.
