Wasmyerox Bureav or Tar Bre, } Indian Lands to Be Taxed. Senator Manaerson has prepared a bill of great importance to all states having within them Indian lands. It provides that the lands which have beon allotted to any In- dians in severalty under the provisions of any law or treaty by which the lands are to be held in trust by the United States orare to be exempt from the taxation or which may here- alter bo so alloted, shall be subjuct to stato and local assessment and taxation, the same as any other lands similarly located in such state, provided, however, that this act shail not authorize the sale or incumbrance of any such Jand on account of such assessment or taxation or in any maaner interfero with the trust in which such iands are held by the United Statos while such trast continues, and furtber that no lands shall be assessed or taxed under the provisions of this act for a period of five years from the date of the ap- proval of tho allotmeuts, and further that during the cont{nuance or exemption tho taxes so taxed or levied shall be paid from the treasury of the United States to the county treasurer or other legally authorized officer of the county or municipality to which such taxes are payabla at such time as they shall become due and payable, and furthor that the taxes shall only bo paid on receipt of the sworn stato- ment of tho county tremsurer, or otner logally nuthorized officer of the county or municipality to which such taxes are pay- able, showing that such tax has been legally assessed and levied and that it is then due and payable and tho sworu statement of tho Unitea States Indian agent, or if there be no agent, of some officer of tho United States designated by the sccretary of the interior thov the lands upon which taxes have been levied have not been assessed at a higher rate than other lands 1n the vicinity similarly located and improved, accompanied by tho certificato of the secretary of the interior that the lands are within the state and courty described in the statement and that the lands therein described have been al- lotted in saveralty. The bill makes & continuous appropriation to meot the taxes and assessments author- ized. This bill, it is understood, was sug- ested by the condition of affairs which ex- fll, at and near Pender, in Thurston county, Neb., mentioned some months ago by Tiik Bk specials as having been brougnt to tho atteution of Senators Manderson and Pad- dock and the Interior department ofticials by Mr. Pecbles. [t would turn into the counties of Nebraska and some other states a per- manent tax of considerablo proportions. Tne bill has been submitted to Secretary Noble, his assistant, Judge Chandler, and Indian Commiseioner Morgan, and meets their ap- roval. The officials say there can be no oubt that the burden of taxation is borne by white proporty holders in many localitios occupied largoly by Indian lands, although the latter got most of the benefit of the taxes. An Important Land Bill, Senator Carey of Wyoming said today that he was confident his bill fixinz $1.25 an acre as the uniform price for government lands would be passed by botn houses of congress. 1t has already been favorably reported from tho senate committee. Senator Caroy says further: “A circular was issued by tho general land office in 1887 declaring that thereafter pur- chasers of desert lands would be required to pay 50 conts per acre at the time of original entry and $2 per acre at the time of final proof. Rulings in compliance with this cir- oular at local land oftices were contested. Though there appears to have been a great difference of opinion on the subject, the sec- retary of the interior on an .fpellev.\ o held, in 1859, ‘that the act of March 3, 1 fixing the price of public lands witbin rail road limits at §2.50 an acre, was not repealed by the desert-land act, which fixed the price of desert land at £1.25 an acre.’ This de- cision was reached under tne rule of con- struction that statutes are repealed by express provisions of a subsequent law, or by necessary umplication, and in the latter casa thore must be such & DoSILIVO repug- nancy between the provisions of the old and new law that they cannot stand together or e consistently reconciled. “In some cases the land was entered at $1.25 an ncre, and at the time of final proof the entrymen were required to pay for the land at the rate of $2.50 an acre. Applica- tions were made by entrymen in some in- stances for the amount overpaid on final cer- tificates. These applications were rejectea on the ground thac ropavment cannot be rec- ognized in the absence of expross statutory authority. *Phe committee finds that sincethe passage of the act approved March 8, 1800, which, among other things, amended the dosert 1und law of March 3, 1877, theuniform ruling of the land department bas been to declars the price of all lands subject to entry under the desert land laws at $1.25 an acre, “Desert lunds are those that will not pro- duce agricultural crops without artificial ir- rigation, which under the most favorable con- ditions is expensive, The committee, with- out questioning the decisions of the land de- partment, thinks that the government is amply pald for these lands at $1.25 an acre, espocially if an incldent of their salels a reclamation of the land. “The second section of the biil authorizes the repayment toentryman of the excess which was required to be paid them of over $1.25 an ucre for desert lands,"” It Will Glve Garzaa Chane The Star today says: ‘Brigadier General David 5, Stanley has apoointed a general court martial to meet at Fort Brown, Tex., on March 25 for the trial of such military prisoners as may be brought before it. Itis believed that some sensational developments will be brought out with regard 1o the ac- tions of certain military commanders during tho Garza campaign on the borders in the trial of some of tne offenders,” ‘The above has reference especially to Cap- tain John Hourke. It is stated in official circles tuat the court wartial was convened 10 appease the clamor of Garzw's revolution- ary friends on the Toxus border and give thew an opportunity to substantiate their charges and grievauces, It is not believed, however, that it can be shown that Captain Bourke acted improperly orthat he exceeded his authority. < Miscellaneo: In the homestead proof case of William H.

LINCOLN POLICE REGULATIONS SETTLED Powers of the Mayor and Excise Board De- Who May Discharge and mission City Guardians—Many Omaha Interests Affected. fined om- Lixcovy, Neb., March 2.—[Special to Tie Brkj—Tho supremo court today handed down several imporiant decisions affecting matters of interest and impurtance to the cities of Lincoln and Omaha, as well as to tho stato at laree. The caso in which the peopio of this city wore more particularly interested was the one in which the long contest betwoen the exciso board and the mayor was settled in favor of the former. The trouble out of which the litigation grew originated last July. The power to appoint and remove mem. bers of the police forco was claimed by both parties to the controversy. During the temporary absonce of Mayor Weir from tho city, Messrs, Kelly aad Doolittle, who with the mayor compose the excise board, removed six members of the police fores in order to guard against a deficiency in the police fund. When Mayor Weir returned to the city he at once rein- stated the men who had been removed and removed six others. He claimed to be the sole Jadee as to which members of the force should be removed when the necessity for such action arose, A test case was made in the distriot court and Judge Field decided in favor of tho position taken by the mayor. Tto case was then carried to the suprome court. The decision handed down today es- tablishes the following points: First—The excise board of tho city of Lin- coin, under the chartor thereof, has exclusive DOWEE to nppoint members of the police force of the city. Socond-—$ and dischurge m force for cause alaries vh “Tho last ctause of soctlon 01 of tho charter of the s y. which outhorizes tho mayor to remove the police thereof for the purpose of discipline, is not in_conflict with the provisions of the charter which confers upon the excise bonrd the gencral authority 10 uppoint and remove the police. The opinion winds up with the following clincher: ‘We conclude that the power of tho excise board to appoint the regula: po- lice is exclusive, and that they aro author- ized to removo them for cause, including a want of funds to pay salaries thereof.” McNameo to Have a New Trial, ‘Thomas McNameo of Omaha was, by an opinion handed down by tho supreme court this forenoon, granted a new trial upon the charge of murder. The case is not a savory one, but there is but little doubt of the fact that McNamee was convicted without much rogard to the evidence in the case. Ho was charged with the murder of one Kate Nichols, an inmate of a house of ill-repute. Tho testimony iaken in the lower court proved that the woman died from the effects of cerebral hemorrhage. The prose- cution introduced testimony to show that the hemorrbage was the result of blows infhicted by McNamee somo weeks previous. The de- fenso proved that the woman had beon a contirmed drunkard for years and that be- tween the time the blows were said to have been inflicted by McNamee and the day upon which she died she recoived severe in- juries, once by climbing outof a transom and falling upon her nhead while under the influence of liquor and at another time by falling down stairs. The supreme court de- cided that the evidencs was not suflicient to couviot McNamee aad remanded the cause back tor further proceedings. Another Omaha Case. An opinion was also handed down today in another Omaha case, but the party most di- rectly interested did not mect with the same succass 8s did the more fortunate McNamee. Heunry Roush was triea in an Omaha court and convicted of forgery. He was tried un- der an information charging him with the crime under two counts. In the first count he was charged with forging an indorsement on a draft drawn by the cashier of the First National bank of Seneca, Kan., and in the socoud he was acoused of knowingly forging the endorsement with a deliverate intent to defraud. ‘The verdict found him guilty on the second count, but made no referenco to whe first. In his application for a new trial ho alloged two objections to the suficiency of the information: Firat, that it was not made to appear that the draft was genuine; and second, that the 1intent to defraud’ was charged in general tevms only. The supreme court denied the application for a vew trial. Tho opinion is to the effect that it was not necessary to establish the fact that the bank by which the draft was drawn was a corpo- ration and that in an informauon for forgery it is sufiicient to charge an 1ntent to defraud 10 general terms. 1t is 0ot necessary to al- lege or prove an intent to defraud auy par- ticular person. Interested Partlos May Not Testify. In the case ol Rakos against Blazer, on appeal from Cass county, tho dacision of 'the lower court was afirmed. In the opwion handed down today Chief Justice Maxwell said : Unrdor section 820 of the code a porson hav- ing o direct logal Intercst In the result of an action in which the adverse purty is the ropresentative of a di d person Is pre- cluded from testitying to any transaction or conversation had with such deceased person, he evidence of the deceased has been taken and rend on tho trial by the ad purty in regard to such transaction or cony sution, or unless such representative | troduced o wituess who has testified in re b transaetion or conversation. Se On the death of an intestate, his Jands immediately docend to his hoirs, sub- Jeet to the right of possession by the adminis- trator pending administration and to his power to seil the roal estate to pay the debts of the estate, In case the personal broperty is insuflicient for that purpose. T . pending an uetion toset aside a deod o real estate uid to qulet titlo. the plaintifl dies intestate, the action may be re- vived and continued in the names of {he heirs at law of such deceased person. Vourth—The mode provided by title 13 of clvil code for reviving actions by conditional order of revivor Is not exciusive. Section 45 of the code confers authority upon the court to ullow the action to Lo presented by or against tho representatives or successors in interest of n decensed purty, For this pur- pose supplemontal pleadings may be fled nnd sumnions served as in the commencement of an sctlon.

Of Interest to Adams County, Chief Justice Maxwell handed down an opinion in_the case of Reynolds against Dietz, in which many peopleof Hastings and Adams county aro interested. A synopsis of the opinion is as follows: In apponl cases where the Iuterests of the partics plaintiff or defendant are so connected | necessarlly will bring up the rd has power to remove rsof the regular volico ling the want of funds to r the failure (o serve tho il of options on some of sueh parties will not bo or quashing wne bill, Socond ~In un i gage on co the petith eution of to B \lu substs 110 mortguge and others named, who nssu et of the consider ie belng vaken in th Theso allezutions we nsold in the unswer, he proof tended Lo s the land bad en viiued at § Wi that cortain parties named had eich La \ tenth intorest'in the land, paying tho in cush §1, 14000, subjeet to tho wortgaze of 83,6100 on tile entire tract, Held, thit the trustee hd the title in trust for those who advanced the counslderation. and that in cuse of deficlency afier sale of the mortzagod promises euoh shareholder would be liable therefor iu pro- portion to the amount of his separate intercst 1n_the property and no more.

Omaba is going to go through the month of May, 1892, in a manner that wiil cause tho people to sing her praises from end to end of the continent. In May the Methodist gen- eral conference wi'l be here ana it will be the greatest test of Oinaha's ability and willingness to entertain 2 large number of guests for weeks at a stretch that the city has ever oxperienced. It is encouraging to state, however, that the problem of securing private entertainment for at least hult of the 500 aelogatos is al- ready solved and the private entertainment comimittee has pretty good hopes of finding entertamnment for about 800 by the middle of April or sooner. Considerable rivalry has sprung up among citizens who desire to have tho honor of en- tertaining somo of the most distinguished among the guests, Several parties aro anxious to entortain the delegates from Mexico and from fngland. Senator Stanford and wife of California will spend a week at the conference. They will leave for Kurope immediatoly after con- ference, accompanied by Bishop and Mrs. Newman. It 1s probable that both Boyd’s theater and the old exposition hall will be retained by the local committeo for the conference. The theater will probably be used in day timo and the hall for lectures and night meotings. The two delegates from Japan_are said to be highly educated gentlemen, One is a silk merchant and the other a leading educator, Mrs. L, R.

NUCH ATTRACTIN NOTICE Real Estate Owners Association Plans Re- ceiving a Great Deal of Attention. OUTSIDE CITIES WATCHING THE MOVE President Boggs Talks Fro of What Omaln May Expect it the Effort Re- colves the Proper Support—Heet Sugar Plants, The work of the Real Kstate Owners asso clation in endeavoring to locate manufactories and other fndustries in Omaha is receiving considerablo attention throughout the east s well as the west. Mauy wastora cities have been attracted to tho plan of work that the Omaha asscciation has adopted in inducing industrias to como hero. Ubam- vers of commerce, boards of ‘trade, and lika organizations as far west as Portland, Ore., have even written ty Prasident Bozgs of the association asking for outlines of his pians and how the work 1s being done. For Omaha the Real Kstate Owners asso ciation expocts to accomplish much this year if it can get the support of the citizens of Omaha. Tho association 1s now send ing ciroular lettors to the real estato owners of the city asking flnancial assistance for tho advancement and progress of industries which will enhance tho value of their property. Mr. Boggs says that the nssociation does not propose to fol- low up thoso cireular letters with other re- quests for subscriptions, but expects a ro- sponse to every letter sent out. Thus far 2,000 circulars have beon mailed to such men as are interested in the welfaro and aavance- ment of Omaha. Upon the answers to theso letters will depend the action of the Real Estate Owners association in tho undertaking t0 bring manufactories to Omaha. It Rests with the People. ‘‘The support of 200 or 300 owners,” sma Mr, Bogws to a BEE reporter, *will do little good. If the task of securing factories for this city is to be undertaken by tho association it must receive the support of almost the entire real estate owning popula tion. As soon as we can succeod 1 gelting 8,000 or 10,000 real estato owners iuterested in the work we have undertaken the associa- tion will bogin the canvass for subscriptions with a view of getting 2,000 subscribers who will each agree to purchase $00 worth of stock in such manufacturing industry as we can induce to come to Omaha, Ounly 1 to 2 per cent of tho subscrintion will be called for in locating any one factory, as that per cent would produce from £10,000 to §20,000, This amount of stock subscription will b sufli cient to induce the location in Omaha of al- most any kind of a factory that could be pre- vailed upon to come here on the strength of stock subscription. “If the people will give the association their support it will certainly plant in this city not less thau 100 manufacturing indus- tries within the next three ycars. Wo ex- pect the people to invest $1,000,000 in stock subscriptions for these manufactories. and by this means add not less than 850,000,000 to the value of Omaha realty. The beauty of this is, that not a single dollar will be paid out without tha property owners receiving its equivalent in stock, which may prove for them a botter investment thau any open to them n other directions. “The future of Omaha simply depends on the enterprise of the people, ‘There is really no reason for dull times today in Omaha. Tho people slono are responsible for the more or less stagnation. We have pienty of money, pleuty of everything but vim, en- terprise and confidence. If the Real Estate Owners association is not on the vight track, let somebody else undertake something bet- ter and we will follow them. But if we are pursuing the right course, then the peoplo should furnish the association with money with which wo can certaily bring them the factories that are now wanted to make Oma. ba one of the greatestindustrial centers west, of the Mississippi viver.” Beet Sugar Factories. A short time ago Mr. Boggs was in Millard, and succeeded in getting the farm- ers interested in sugar beets. As a result the farmers near Millard nave held meetings and now have a committee investigating the cost of putting in @ plant and factory to make beet sugar at that place. I'hey propose to raise §160,000 by geiting 81,000 subscrip- s and build and put in their own plant. 1tis said that fow of the farmers in the vicinity arve 1n debt, but on the contrary are prosperous and thritty and can well afford to build the sugar factory. Keelative o the proposition of Farrell & Co., to ostablish A beet sugar and glucose factory in East Omaha, the iast Omaha Lard com- pany has not had time to consider it, as most of the directors of the company are ou of the city. Itis expected that the directory will meet some time next waek, when action will be taken on the proposition. ‘Omaba may also have harvester works this year. M. C. Nixon, the junior member of the brokerage firm of Bostwick & Nixon, is now east for thoe purpose of examining a harvester that a new invention. It is claimed that it will outrank any harvester now 1m use. If such is the case Mr. Nixon will try 10 organizo a_company to es- tablish a factory in Omaha for the manufac- ture of the new’ harvester. On his return home he will also stop in Chicago to exam- ine what is known as a low-down harvester —ono that cuts grain close to the ground. It, too, is 4150 & BEW iuyention or an improve- ment over those now in use, If it is found that these harvesters come up to their repre- seutation they will be bhrought here and RIven o tost in the harvest fields of Ne- braska. If thev are then all right a factory will be established for their manufacture in this city. property _———— Rev. James H. Corden, pastor M. E, church, Wilson, N.
