The number of auxiilari had been_in- creased by ninety-two, while 5 ndditBnal members had been added during the ypear.

She dwelt ear- nestly upon the importance of the work undertaken by the young peple in connec- tion with the missionary socie The speaker believed that it was not best to encourage the organization of o separate young people's organization for missionary work, but better results, she thought, could be obtained by getting the young people’s preanizations already in existence to tuke hold of the missionary work. Young en- thusiasm and energy could accomplish marvelous results for the Master if properly directed. Mrs. J. R. Dimm of Selinsgrove, Pa., road an excellent paper upon the same subject. % She held that compotent le stituted ono of the most pressing needs of the Young People’s society. These societies should be made training” schools, in which expert workers should go forth to lead others. ~_Mrs. C.

As o part of the regular program of the ‘Women's Home and Foreign Missionary so- ciety the subject of foreign missions was given tho entire evoning and two spealer of practical experience in the foroign fleld were present to tell what they kuew of the condition of the benighted people of India and Africa, Mrs. J. . Scholl of Selinsgrove, Pa., pre- sided over tho meeting, and introduced as the first speaker Mrs. A. Wolf of Guntur, Inaia. The distinguished wissionary is o tly and prepossessing lady, who' has a appy mauner in svhich' she presents her thoughts to the audience. She took special !Mn- to 1mpress upon the ladies beforo h he neod of more missionary help in India, and said that she hoped she might be able to 88y somerhing that would encourage some of hor sisters to become energetic und conse- crated missionaries. The speaker then proceeded to explain the Ylnn of work in the Guntur mission, how hey managed to support it, the peculiarities of tho people and thelr strange projudices and habits. She said thata great amount of good could be accomplished through tho American doll. The Indian girls were frantically fond of Awerican dolls and wowld do almost anything to get them. By mak- iug them presents of dolls the missionaries were enabled to get the native Indiuns to learn the English language and the hible In this way thousands of them were being brougnt under the influenco of Christianity Thore was ono peculiar thing about the doll business, howover. ‘The Indian chitdven would have nothing to do with a doll that had kid on its hands or feet. The, dughud leathor and capecially kia loather. This antipathy for leather wus ex- plained fun the fact that iu fudia the leather worker waf®ooked upon as being the lowest of all menials, She described the plan udopted by the mission in getting the boys und girls marrisd and ssttlod in lifo o superintendont of the mission does the mateh making. The parties interested ave asked about the matter after it has been uw by the mauagers of the mission . tkat they will suit each other. Asa fuie the girls whimper and pretend tbat they do not want to marry, but they usually change thoir minds pretty Soon and say yes, ust as theit moro highly civilized sisters in Surope ama America do The address was very much enjoyed and Mrs. Wolf was asked a number of questions at the closo pertaining to the work she had been describing. From Darkest Afrien. Rev. D. A. Day, D.D, of Muhlen- berg mission Aberia, Africa, was then introduced and delivered an in- teresting talk about the mission work at the Muhlenberg mission, Liberia. Dr. Day has been in Africa for ten years and would not be in America now, he id, but for the fact that he had lived away from civilization so long that he was in danger of growing into savagery if he did not leave that country for awhile and come into a dif- forent moral and intelloctual atmosphere. He told a great m: nteresting things about the native Africans and pictured their degradation in yivid colors. The speaker described the method of teaching and sail that the mission of Mulilenberg had 140 acres in cultivation and 10,000 acres of cleared land around it. Bearing upon the matter of matrimony the speaker said that while the native language had no such words as home, wife and love in it, yot when tho boys ware taken into the mission school and trained for three or four years they took to courting the girls just the same as the young people of civilized nations did. The mating tendency was evidently latent in the breasts of the savage African and all that was roquired to develop it was a little genaral training under the direction of educated and Chris- tian people. Product of Clvilization. The ardent missionary then turned to o phase of his address that vresented any- thing but a clear sky. It was the prevalence of intemperance resulting from the importa- tion of rum_ from Bugland, Germany and America, The speaker grew tremendously earnest over the matter, and said that it Christian nationssuch as England, Germany and the United States did not cease ship- ping large quantities of rum to Africa there would be no use of trying to carry forward the wwork. Dr. Day spoke at considerablo length and received close attention. The speaker an- swered several questions and made his talk one of much interest all the oy through. A serv preparatory to the holy com- munion, which will be observed next Sunday, was held for the especial benefit of those who wished toattend. The forenoon session today will be devoted to the hearing of special reports and other interesting busi- ness. — Piles of people have piles, but Dewitt's Witch Hazel Salve will cure them. - LOCAL TAXATION, Comparntive Figures Showing Inequality In Omaha Assessments, OxanA, June 23.—(To the Editor of Tik Ber.]—After reading your editorial upon Tho Limit of Endurance Reached” con- cerning work done by the asscssors < i Omaha, [ concluded to mvestigate the mat- ter o little, As the result of my labor I herewith submit for publication a list of cities, giving their population and assessed valuation of all property, real and personal D) 119.000 000 000 00,000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 32,000 18,000 000 000 50.000 10,000 Indianapoiis, Ind Ovana 000 {000 30000 10,000 50,000 (149,000 50, vecities in all parts of the country, giving the population and the as- sessed valuation of all property within cor- porate limits, By reference to the “‘Statis- tics of Cities in the United States the above statement will be borne out. There is not another city in the entire list where the assessed valuation of personal property is so low as in Omah In the above cities about one-half of the assessment 18 on personal property. But to be on the safe side, say that not over one- fourth of the assessment is on personal v, which proves that in many of the cities, where the population is less atof Omaha, the assessment of per- sonal property is more than on all the real and personal property combined in Omaha fourth is taken as the basis the as :d valuation of personal property in the ity of Denver is $18,500,000; St, Paul, 100 Minneapolis, §35.000,00 City, 316,948 Sioux City, In Yei by the returns of the ass ment of versonal 579,002 (32,070, provided we take one-fourth as the a valuation of the personal property. Butin most of the cities, especially the older towns, the assessed valuation of the personal prop. erty is equal to the value of the real property. Real property bears more than its just proportion of taxation in Omaha. And every person, be he rich or poor, who owns a lot in Omaha, ys more for the benefits and protection he receives than the monoy shark or capitalist or the person who has bonds, stocks or personal property. ‘ake, for instance, the Third ward, The ment of personal property this y is .01, Corperations which have paid ital of several hundred thousand dol- e assessed for a few thousand. Large alo houses that carry stocks worth hundreds of thousands vay a tax on from £4,000 to §7,000 of personal propos Im- il establishments that carry £50,- ,000 stocks pay i tax on an assessed valuation of from $2,000 to §5,000. Evervbody who has any knowledge to the values of personal property, knows that there is not less than £50,000,000 of personal property in the Third ward (by personal property is weant stocks, bonds, stocks of merchandise, sold and silver wares—in fact, everything of value that is not real property) and the same manner of assessing personal ‘property dfi‘os not differ in every other ward in the city. If'the personal proverty in Omaha wero assessed at an amount equal to one-fourth of the value of the real estate 1t would amount to about $,000,000 instead of £:2,000,000, fivory man and woman, no matter how rich or poor, who is taxed on real estate should demand from those who have the power—tho county commissioners—that a reassessment of the personal property be made in Omaha, And every one should con- stitute himsell a commitiee to leave no stone unturned until those owning personal Proj v pay their just portion of taxes for municipal purposes.” Real estate pays the rogular state, city and county taxes, special aving, curbing, sawer and sidewalk taxes, nd the persous owning personal property get all the bonefits by disposing of wares and leaving monoy at interest.

Do not under- stand e to say that I am a monometalist, however, for [am not.

Crrcaco, June 23.—The American Derby, worth to the winner £0,000 with large sums inaddition to the second and third horses, will bo run tomorrow at Washington park. To- night seventeen horses are named as v likely to start. More than 100 are eligible and can start if their owners are willing to pay 300 for the priviloge. The number will depend considerably upon the weather tonight. The indications are for showers ana if there should be a very heavy track tomorrow afternoon—which isentirely unlikely—horses not now counted upon may 20 to the post.

The surprise of today has been the advent upon the scene of Walcott and Campbell, who have played so many tricks upon the eastern turfmen by winning big events when they were not ex- pected to, the latest being the Diablo.coup in the Brooklyn handicap. Miles Standish has not been considered at all in the recent gossip about the American Derby, and it was not oven thought that he would be brought west, but tonight the colt was walked up to the gate at Wash- ington park and fthe surprised keeper was tojd that it a horse belonging to Jbhnny Clmpbell. Conservative turfmen think Miles Standish stands no show unless be on a heavy track. Others who stand in great awe of Johnay Campbell want to know why he brings a colt out here if he does not expect to win something.

Long beforo the orchestra played opening overture the Baptist church within its walls more people than had ever congregated there before last evening, The occasion was the commencement exercises of the graduates of the High school of South Omaha. The junior class, which has just graduated from the ecighth grade, occupied seats in fromt of the stage, Dressed in their snowy white costumes and profusely bedecked with natural flowers they presented an_cnchanting scene to the graduates as they appeared from the an room ome at a time. To the right were seated the members of the school board, Prof. A. A. Monroe and other instructors in the schools. The orchestra, which, by .the way, is made up of South Omaha men, and is o good one, was given space to the left and in front of the stage. After Rev. Robert L. Wheeler had deliv- ered the invocation Miss Ester G. on ap- peared to recite the salutatory for her cluss, ‘This churming_ young woman was perfoctly at ease, and aeliverced her lines in the meter of Hiawatha in a decidedly clever manner “The ldeal Woman" was the subject chosen by Mildred E. Dennis. Her delivery was graceful. A chorus, entitled “The Milier,” was ren- dered by the pupils of the eighth grade, unaer the direction of Miss Emma Ward, in excellent style. The chorus was assisted by Messrs, Carley, Young, Haskins and Rozelle, Blanche G the cow read her essay on “From School Lifo to Life's School.” Thelady said that schools were not for the exclusive pur- pose of teaching arthmetic, grammar, go- ography and Latin, but to also build the foundations for good women and men, J. Maulinie Laur chose*'The Mission of the Agitator” as the s\xh{m*t, of her oration. The young lady proceeded with her address care- fully and with grace. Here the orchestra livened up the proceed- ings by a selection from Mozart. Owen S. Merrill, the only boy in the class, marched onto the platform with more knowl- edge in his head than the average boy of his age, but, not being familiar with the duty of e A koantig Laras audlerices was slightly pms barrassed at first, but before he had finished he felt at home and gave the ‘‘Class His- tory” in a detailed and interesting manner, The young man’s paper carried a smacking of humor that pleased.

Miss Sadie Finley favored the audience with a beautiful little ballad entitled, “Open Thy Lattice,” “The Newspaper” was the subject of Nora M. Suider’s ess: Miss Snider detailed the power of the press in glowing terms and gave some historical facts that were yery interesting, Anna D. Wells was on the program for an oration, her subject being **The Influence of Fashion on Our Moral Judgment.” The ora- tion was well delivered, the promunciation being distinct and the gestures graceful. “T'he graduating class formed on the plat- form and sung a chorus entitled, *Down in the Dewey Dell.” Marietta Howe was the unanimous choice of her class for valedictorian and chose for her subject for the oration “He Who Cannot Paint Must Grina the Colors.” Miss Howe looke” charming 1 & cream lace gown over blue with pink roses. Her valedictory re- marks were spoken in a feeling manner. Mr. W. B. Cheek, presids of the school pourd, with appropriate remarks then pre- sented the graduates with their diplomas. ‘The orchestra gave another selection, Rev. Ross promounced the benediction und the graduating exercises of the class of '03 were at an end. . The graduates are Esther G. Erion, Blanche Glasgow, J. Mauline Laur, Nora M, Snider, Grace L.

Mayor Bemis, Chief of Police Seavey, Dr. Somers and Plumbing inspector Duncan were out in their collective oficial capacity yesterday afternoon, as the Board of Health They inspected the sanitary arrangements of various Omaha charitable and educatio mstitutions. The Kellom school was first visited, and the Smead system of sanitation, concerning the efiiciency of which there has been some doubt, was thoroughly investigated and found to be thoughly satisfactory and work- ing excellently. Next, the board was driven to the Open Door at No. 107 Lothrop strect. Hero everything was found to be ina condition that can best boe described as “neat as wax,” from top to bottom. A few slight repairs are needed on the woodwork of the sinks, but they are insignificant, and the Open Door may be said to bo in first-class sanitary condition, After leaving the Open Door the new Lothrop streot school building was visited for the purpose of inspecting the Faller & Warren system. The building itself was also gone over and the venlating provi- sions were sized up. “The youngsters nowadays havo a far softer time than they did when 1 was a boy" siched Mayor Bemis, who was eyidently thinking of the little red, brown or uunpainted and woather-beaten school house and hard, straight-backed benches of his childhood. “When I was a kid we used to have to go outdoors for fresh air,” Immanuel hospital was next visited, and was found to be in good coundition. Its in- terior fairly shines from top to bottom, and when the institution gets sewer conneetion, as it expects to do mnext fall, nothing will be lacking in its provisions for comfort and health, A sspools are receiving the sewage of the hospital, but they in no wise affect its excellent sanitary condition, the | al obje @ to them' being that they are behind the times, Lamentable State of Affhirs, It was the Nebraska Institute for the Deaf that next received the attention of the rd which has been hearing o good deal about that iustitution of late and has, on the strength of in s’ reports, addressed several communications to Superintendent Gillespie, requesting that matte Led on be attended to. These communications the superintendent called attention to in a letter addressed to the Board of Publ Lands and Buildings, written yesterday just before the al of the health officers. After the mspection ho was enabled to add a vigorous postscript to his letter. It would appear to the casual obser that there is not a tning at the institut that is not out of repair, especialiy the tary arrangements. The building’s cond tion, below and in the rear, may be briefly described as “beastly” and no less The sewage, that is _fo say, that portion of it that does not leak out in various parts of the house, is disposed of through u pipe and distributed above ground at a point about 250 yaras tant. It was the opinion of the visitors that this should be changed, but iy is nothing compared to the coudition of the building, which reeks with overflows of various kinds on uccount of defective plumbing. Inadequnte Appropriation. Superintendent Gitlespie last winter asked the legislature for $7,000 r repairs and incidentals during the next two years. That far-seeing body, with wonderful exercise of judgment, appropriated the magnificent sum 0f 81,000 to puy for repairs, horse feed, kero- senc and other incidentals during the period specified, when it will cost £3,600 for the mere plumbing required to put the building in a habitable condition. Itis within the power of the Board of Health to offer to the Board of Publi uds and Buildings the alternative of putting the building in good condition or close it up. This is what would be done, but in that case the institution would be closed, for there is no money to mnke repairs with, and the Board of Public Lands and Buildings could take no other action. It is a very serious condition of affai 1 be carefully considered at the next lar meeting of the Board of Health, ifit can legally do so, have the ry repairs made at the expense of 2e the same to the state. Atany rate, some action will be taken in the matter. The institute closed on Thursday for the summer, and theve is, therefore, no danger to be apprehended until September, before which time something may be done to 1m- prove the conditions now existing. The county hospital was the last institu tion visited. Heve the sunitation, while it is not all that could be de 1, is fairly good, there being no leaks of gas or sewage. The principal fault appears to be that soap and water and a scrubbing brush are not used quite often enough on the sur- roundings of the closet apparatus and that the necessary amount of ventilation is lacking. , and —_———— NEW GOLD FIELDY, Utah reople Much Excitod Over the Henry Mountain Developments, SALt LAKE, June 23.—[Special Telegram to Tue B Advices received from the newly covered gold flelds in the Henry moun- to oday state thut a great deal of pros- pecting is being done and some very rich strikes made.
