The city attorney has been in structed to prepare an ordinance to that effect. Burglars or sneak thieves mado a raid Friday night on the residence of John Mulgreen, No. 108 Ninth sireet, at the corner of Iirst avenue. They entered the kitchen by a window, and finding the door leading trom there into the dining room securely locked, were unable to go further. They contented themselves with oating pies and cakes, and when they loft carried off two overcoats, one belonging to Mr. Mulgreen and one belonging to his son. James A. Summers has commenced suit against the Wabash rallway company on account of an accident which befell him at Poney OCreek, and for which he claims §5,000 damages. It appears that while crossing the railway track in a buggy drawn by a pair of mules a train struck them, killing the mules, smashing the buggy, and injuring him quite seri- ously. He claims that there was no signal given of any approaching train. To-night will probablyshow whetherthe city council has tho cheek to change chiefs of the fire department, in the face of & potition signed by nearly all the business men, and all the insurance men, and in view of the fact that there is no causo for a change excopt to gratify some political promises and reward politicians.

The Carson Criterion nominates Col. Bapp, of this city, for the gubernatorial chair of Dakota.

Hoe speadily dis. patched him with his little gun. Miss Rehse, the artist, has had her time kepts fully occupied occupied paint- ing Easter eggs, and other souvenirs ap- propriate to the season. Some of them were little gems of art. H. 8. Gallagher has commenced suit rocord as treating such an important po- sition as a mere chromo to be given some pet, but still they may. The weather has not been very favor- able for calling attention to summer re- sorts, but still the little pamphlet just issued for 1884 by ‘‘the Albert Lee route” is worthy of attention at any sea- son. It isa littlo beauty typographically, is pleasingly illustrated, and contains a great amount of interesting information about the summer resorts of lowa and Minnesota, reached by this route, which RAILWAY TAXATION. An Important Decision in Regard to Assessments in Terminal Citics, Council Bluffs Hh‘ould Insist on Its Rights. The showing of facts and figures by Tue Ber in regard to the taxation of railways in Council Bluffs has opened the oyes of many who were before ignorant of the real condition of affairs, One citizen remarked to Tur Bre man that it was no use, however, ‘‘there daren't anybody here try to tax railway property asit ought to be, for if they did they wouldn't got elected again, and they knowit.” That may be, but the people are entitled to the facts and then if they to lie down and keep quiet, that is their own lpok-out. In connection with this showing of facts there comes the news of an important decision delivered in Toledo, Ohio, last Thursday by the district court, which hits the point pretty snugly, and is of such interest as to merit attention, the Ohio law being similar to that of lowa, and the portion of Toledo, the case is similar to that of Council Bluffs, The case was the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Railway company vs. Kelsoy, treasurer of Lucas county, An apprawsal of the main track on the vsual mileage basis had been made in 1881, to which had been added to the duplicate in this city the assessed value of the company’s valu- able terminable property located here. The company paid this tax under pro- test, claiming that all the property should bo apportioned among all the counties through which the road posses. The court, after citing the laws relating to tho assessment and collection of taxes on railway property in cities and tcwns, said: “There is great advantage to a railroad in passing through or having a terminus at a large city or in other populous places where 1t acquires a large portion of its business, and where of necessity its prop- erty must be valuable, and we cannot sce why it should not pay the same rate of taxes on such property that private per- sons do, while there is justice in the manner of taxing the rolling stock, as it has no permanent location, but is mova- ble, passing from one place to another, in this case both within and without this state. Sec. 2 of Art, 12 of our constitu- tion provides that taxation shall be by a uniform rule, and Sec. 4 of Art. 13 pro- vides that the property of corporations now existing, or hereafter created, shall bo subjected to ‘taxation the same as tho property of individuals, but the plaintiff n error proposes that a part of the as- sessed value of its property in Toledo shall by a legal sleight of hand be trans- ported to “some rural district where it prefer is composed of the Chicago & Rock Island, Burlington & Cedar Rapids, and Minuneapolis & 8t. Louis railways. Be- fore planning a summer trip you should secure a copy and peruse it. The Young Men’s Shoting club is to have a #ide hunt on the 21st.

The judgment below is affirmed.” The case will be carried up to the supreme court. — — THE HARDMAN, How That Piano Stands Traveling on the Briny Devp.
