He was reminded that in the state of Nebraska the Union Pacific corporation recently secured a reduction of | assessment. That represented in taxes a little leas than $200 a year. was a reduction whereas it would prob- ably have been more expedient for (he corporation to have folerated or even ap- proved a proposed increase of assessment, an increase that would have aggregated about $1,000,000, but would bave cost in the way of taxation a smaller annual sum than experimented with | results, This year only thing cattle country and the old lake b pended upon o make season of drouth FIREMEN'S WORK APPRECIATED A K and have gotten good which is the quantity in the The valleys Mways be do even In & s hay or in was excellent we raise fn any s can summed &ood The Question of Taxation. pe Writes n Lette Intlon to Chief Sa Men. 1s to the so- Upon receipt of the news Dickingon's decision in the trackage in K junction case bad been favorable to the Northwestern, the Burlington officials took | the precaution to derall a car on the dis- | puted Eighth street crossing.

It I8 asserted that If this overlap of $42,000 is not paid there will be money enough to keep both departments running during the winter. As Mr. Koutsky has announced that he will not make any call for warrants} until about the middle of January, the fire- men and policomen will have ample time to hold meetings and determine just what they want to do, As to Treasurer Koutsky's bond, there 15 some doubt whether he has a bond at all | or not.

The palace stands upon cliffs overlooking the sea and a decidedly realistic drop shows the breaking of the waves upon the shore. Comedians, vo- callsts and instrumentalists, dressed in evening clothes, are seated here and there upon the steps of the paiace. There is little about the whole scene that would suggest minstrelsy, save the blackened faces of the performers and the interlocutor, who occupies his usual position in the cen- ter of the parly.
