ASSESSMENT ROLL
(Continued from First Pae.)
lowest value Is placed on firearm, 52 cent
each.
"Note Held la Nebraska.
Note holders of the mate have 18.084,0(4
worth stowed away In their atrong-boxea.
Of thia amount S6.064.99S la aerured by mort
gage and $:.19.007 la listed as "other notes."
It seems quite aafe to say no uncollcctable
notes are belna; listed for taxation.
Despite the great aggregation of In
ventive genlua In Nebraska, but 130 patent
rights are paying taxes. These are given
a total value of $4,817. Twenty patents are
credited to Douglas rounty cltnsens, with
an average value of $911.56 each, for taxa
tion oly, not for "talking purposes." Lan
caster inventora hold ten patent rights, and
modestly estimate their value at 119 each.
Twelve patenta are held In Clay county,
wherein Clay Center Is a great breeding
place for patenta, and are given an aver
age value of $a0.60.
Cash and Hook Arroanta.
Correct account of cash Is, kept by 2.917
cssh registers. One would think there are
that many In Omaha alone, but not so.
The Douglna county assessor could find
only 719, and not In extra uood condition,
for they go on the tax list at an avera;
value of $11.M. Lancaster has 187 cash reg
isters, with . an average value of $15.06.
; Hamilton county, with the city of Aurora
in its borders, docn't know what a casli
register looks like,' evidently, having none
on the taxllst. Sioux ami McPhersort coun
ties also trust to human honesty up to
date.
.Mi t'hut th irterrhflnts of the Whole
itate had coming to them from customers,
at the date of the last assesemont. $967,691.
That Is not even $1 for each person in
i the state, and stems to speak well for the
bualness prosperity of the storekeepers. In
Douglas county btok accounts totaled. $180,
07$; In Iancasur, $119,141; in Gage. $:9.06;
In Hall, $:4.75; in Dodge. 11S.0&7. Thomas
county shows jp only $155 In book accounts,
but Bennsr beats It with only $35.
Mosey la the Rank.
Money on hand or on deposit aiways
shrinks unaccountably, aa compared to
bank atatementa, abc ut assessment time.
The total amount spread on the grand as
sessment roll of the state as subject to
taxation In lOOR was J4.9SO.7W5. Millions and
millions appear to be unaccounted for by
the assessors, because the state banks re
port deposits amounting to over $06,000,000
at the last report, and the national banks
of Douglas county alone reported deposits
.of I49.8H4.0O0 In January, 1900, three months
before the assessment under consideration
was made. Lancaster cojnty national
banks held $8.5.W Of deposits at the aame
date, but little short of being twice. the
amount of total deposits listed for tax
ation In the whole state. Money may make
money, and money talks; but the accrued
product appears not on the assessment roll,
tan any very loud talking be charged to
money. It sings soft and low when the as
sessor man Is listening.
Within sixty days the state banks of
Nebraska reported loana to the amount of
SaS.7M.5i4. On the grand assessment roll for
the last year all the loans that oould be
found for taxation purposes amounted to
but $176,334. Evidently, It we count In na
tional back and private loans, credits of
this character to the amount of $150,000,000
a aoore are escaping taxation, under the
bead of loans, at least.
Krw Folks Owa Stock.
stock in corporations is ne a to a very
limited amount by Nebraskans, taking the
assessment figures fui authority. The total
for 1!, in the whole state.' was but J-X-042.
Douglas county people held the very
modest amount of $i5.783. Lancaster tax
payers but $14,0i; while Qage county In-
veators In corporations confessed to lluo,.
8X1. thus breaking the record by holding
almost half of the total amount that got
on the assessors' books.
Total Judgments held In the state showed
( up at $33,534. and the money paid building
and loan and savings associations amounted
to but an.l. . Of this total Douglas
county carries $22,(71; Hall county $36,4X7,
lnrasier $13,810.
Prialere Vmr t a.
Tyix.itting machines cannot very well
l conct-aUd In pocket or bank book, so 113
of them get on the assessment roll. And
they are more generally In use In Nebraska
than one would guess, offhand. Omaha and
South Omaha account for sixty-two type
s.tltng machines; lncater had eighteen.
Cloy county had six machines; Antelope,
Box Butte and OHge four each; Burt, Da
kota, Dawes and Dodge, three each; Holt
had two,' and Hitchcock one. Printers of
the present day in Nebraska, as a rule,
are fairly well able to keep up with any
procession in the line of progress and pre
paredness to meet emergencies.
Getting away from machines that pro
duce mental pabulm, to those that turn out
grain for the mill, there were S.2S2 thresh
ing machines In Nebraska at last assess
ment time, and agricultural tools most
conservatively listed at $1,094,590. Manu
facturing tools, which ordinarily would bi
considered to far the farmers' tola In value,
were placed on the roll at $517.48.
Diamonds In IVebrsika.
Diamonds are popular with so mnny
folk, so many sport them In rings, pins,
brooches, tlarss. dog collars and other
oruamenls. and the cost hns been Increas
ing their value so steadily that a sense of
astonishment Is felt when it is discovered
all the diamonds in Nebraska, are listed at
only $81,713. Unless Omaha has been belled
there are stones worth more than that in
single homes in this rich city. The women
clerks in the stores, viewed In the mass,
Would appear to wear hot rocks worth
$100,000 or so; the engagement rings out
standing ought to show up substantially
as great value as the total for the state,
and It is a cinch they would not be sold
for any man's $80,000. In Douglas county
some foolish people confessed to having
$16,000 worth, when they might as welt
have said $18. Lancaster, where diHtrtonds
are no novelty, confesses to owning some
thing over $13,000 worth. Going to the other
extreme. Wheeler lias $2 worth of spark
lers and Garfield $7 worth.
Think of diamonds and you see pawn
brokers. The public seemingly has a mis
taken Idea of their wealth. All the prop
erty of pawnbrokers In Nebraska totals
12 918 for taxation, of which the Doualas tendent Claudia B
county "uncles" carry the heavy end, with
an assessment of $3,345.
Almost In the poverty-stricken caboodle
of such supposedly valuable perquisites or
appurtenances Is bunched at $143,307. Thoy
are not for sale, however, so far as can
be learned.
Dogs are about eighteen times more
numerous than com shelters in this pre
mier class corn state, and their value Is
greater. There are over 106,000 dogs ac
counted for, wtlh a value of $113,529. A
fairly large figure, in bulk, but what man
will sell his prise dog for less than $60 or
$10. "I wouldn't take $100 for that dog,"
saya the man; but the assesor takes tho
dog for about $1.
Bees Produce Liberally.
The Bee, of course, should not overlook
its own high sign, coat of arms and right
worthy exemplar. This useful ranger of
the fields and master worker of all things
that fly has a counted list of homes num
bering 61,988, and these homes of the bees
pay on a value of $28,062, rather making the j
pawnbroker ashamed of himself, with his !
glittering display that is apparently worth !
so little. ,
There can be found in the items of the
state assessment roll a thousand and one
peculiarities. It should be studied more
for Its enlightening power. Its very enter
taining features--and for things It does not
show.
I. oral Will I. rave Omaha Kara
Afternoon, Making All Olopa
' Between This I lly nnd
Norfolk.
The Northwestern hns completed its
change In time card, which will give the
state of Nebraska greatly increased train
service rnd make belter connections be
twecn Omaha and the rest Of the state,
A second train will h run through as far
as Chadron, making it much more conT
venient for people living' aloig thr? north
west line to travel.
The Black Hills-Wyoming express will
leave Omaha at .1:.V p. Yn. Instead of at 3
o'clock, and will make no stop except Fre
mont between Omaha and Norfolk. It will
make, up an. hput .on. the. run to Dead
wood and will reach that point at the
same time as at present. A new local train
will leave Omalla each afternoon at i;13,
making all local stops between Omaha, art l
Norfolk and connecting with all brunch
line trains, r '
The eastbound train will leave Deadwood
at 0:30 p. m.,Jristead of h 6 o'clock and will
arrive in. Omaha at 5:20 p. m., the same as
at present.
A new Wyoming-Omaha train leaves
Inder,- Wyo., at a. m. and crosses Wyo
ming by daylight with a sleeper at Chad
ron at 6:20' and will arrive at Omaha at
11:10 the next 'morning. This will give
double daily service between Omaha and
all Wyoming points. n
Another new eastbound train-leaves Iing
Pine nt 12:30 noon and arrives at Omaha
at lfl;30 p. m.,' connecting af Norfolk' with
a through train from the Rosebud country,
leaving DalUs at 10:50 a. m. This will make
two trains a day between Omaha and Dal
las and three trains each way between
Omaha and Long Pine.
Another new train leaves Norfolk dally at
7:30, thus giving daylight service to Chad
ron. In addition to the double dally ser
vice between Lincoln and Fremont a motor
train has been added, leaving Fremont at
7:10 a. m. and leaving Lincoln at 4:45 p. m.
These changes greatly Increase the North
western mileage in Nebraska.
