White It is not known Just why Ml
aourl Pacific operattna; offlclala and en
gineers arc visiting the ,clty at this time.
It Is taksn that it la for the purpoaa of
' looking the ground over and determining
inat what la to be done In tne way 01
Improvements on Dodge street. At the
crossing there two plans have been under
(s consideration, but neither hae been de
l cided 'upon. One contemplates building
viaduct over the tracks, wide enough
'for street railway and wagon trafflo,
and the other contemplates the elevation
of the railroad tracks, leaving the road
way undlsturted underneath.'
. It is asserted that while the matter
has not been gone into thoroughly, the
Mlaeeurl Taclflc officials favor the eleva
tion of the tracks, though they are a lit
tle loth about putting as much money
into the project a would be required. It
! asserted that the elevation of the
tracks would necessitate an elevation of
ail tracks from pretty nearly as far south
as Leavenworth to Cass street on the
north, with steel and concrete crossings
provided for at all of the Intersecting
streets.
No close estimates have been made on
the expense of the elevated tracks, but a
rough estimate places the expenditure at
at least 11,000,000 and perhaps considerable
mors.

Law Fasted by Legislature for
Charges for Probating Estates
Goes Into Effect.
INCREASES . EXCESS OF FEES
A law ysmed by the IsM legislature and
effective now, establishing a flat rate for
charges fo probating estates In Nebraska
will cost heirs to. estates of more than
12,000 in Douglas county at least fio.ono a
rear, according to Clyde Rundhlad. clerk
of the county court, who has Jut re
ceived a copy of the act
'fnder this measure the charge for
probating an estate worth tt.OOl wilt be
ti-e same as one valued at tl.OOO.noo or any
sum. said Mr. HundMad. "Tor Instance.
under the old law the county received
M.000 fees for probate of a wealthy man's
cstste and about $30 from the average
str.sll estate In excess of tt.OOO. But under
the new law each will pay the same,
ebout $, Including the flat rate rharges
ard additional fees.
Where In the past this office baa
rhown a net excess of fees of fron 14.000
to 16,000 a year, the new law will double
or treble tdls amount. The additional
revenue will be paid by Increased lost to
heirs of men snd women In moderste clr
cumstances." v "
The rate as now established places all
estates in three classes, which with the
charges to be paid btf them follow:
S1.000 or lees tin
SI .Of to I2.W0 ill
More than M.W) S5
These charges spply to gross rstuatlons
of estates, no reduction being mae for
debts which are paid. Fees In addition'
to the flat rate charge are also provided.
Each smnll -state of more than 12,000
must pay about S25 more under the new
law than under the old.
In the event th deceased owned only
a homestead, eliminating necessity of pro
bate proceedings, the new law provides
far a fee of $10, which Is three times the
charge formerly paid. Other Increases
follow: Guardianship and trustee mat
ters, $.2S to $8, with Increase of annual
fee from 0 cents to $1.60. Adoption eases.

Ryder Opens Up a
Publicity Bureau
in His Own Behalf
Commissioner Ryder has opened his
own publicity bureau with a statement
taking exceptions to some of his
fellow commissioners on the electric light
rate ordinance. Mr. Ryder contends that
the matter should be gone Into thor
oughly, rather than rushed Just to make
political capital. In conclusion he sys:
"I presume at this time my best bet
eould be wild ballyhoo that I am 'agin1
the corporations and all moneyed Inter
ests, since they all appear to be against
me. But as I view my duty In the coun
cil It ls to endeavor to hold the balance
even without fear or favor, elnoe the
council Is both Judge snd Jsry In Its own
sphere. Certainty of defeat or election
would not swerve me from that belief.
Every wind that blows may turn weather
vanes, but men who have seen storms of
sentiment come and go could not be mere
straws In the wind. Evn though for a
second time made a 'political orphan.' I
can yet stand where a councilman can
stand for fair treatment of every ques
tion, casting a vote based upon knowledge."
