F. Andrews and published by the American Book company, is admirably adapted for botanical work In the average High school, and requires no expensive oquipment. It is based on observation, and in this respect meets the popular demand. The lessons are so arranged that each sub- ject 1s taken up at just the time of the year when the material for it is most abundant. In this way the study can be carried on all the year round, a plan which is much more Sensible than crowding the whole cou into a few weeks of the spring term. The language of the text Is very simple and direct. Botanical terms introduced only as required. The pupil is led to make acourate observations, and from them to deduce safe conclusions He ls first taught to observe the conditions of plant life, then the essentlal organs of the plant are taken up, and finally the au- thor treats of plants as they relate to their surroundings—ecology. The book is accu- rate, and sufficlently full and complete to meet the needs of secondary schools. The work required can easily be done, and will prove thoroughly educative. While Harry Castleman's name as the author of a story for boys should be a sufficlent guarantee that the story will in- terest boys, yet his latest book ‘“‘The Haunted Mine,” published by Henry T. Coates, Is a story about things that could not possibly have bappened, and will have an effect not at all to be desired on a boy of imaginative and imitative nature. Out of the population of the earth today there are over 30,000,000 deaths every twelve months. In the United States alone the deaths amount to above 4,000 daily.

Anderson, but that Lydia J. Anderson is such relict and is therefore entitled to draw the $12 pension due from the government. To make cer- tain of justice, the judge has signed a de- cree in which Mary Fouts is restrained from applying for or recelving such pen- sion. The case went before the judge as the sult of Lydla J. Andersen against Mary Fouts. 1In the petition the plaintiff alleged that she was married to Robert Anderson in Cuba, O., In 1865; that in Anderson county, Kansas, in 1894, he secured a de- cree of divorce without her knowing even that the suit had been started, the sherift of that county making a false return of service of the summons; that she did not know until January, 1900, what had been done and that in the meantime, or in 1895, Anderson married Mary Fouts, and that Mary Fouts Anderson applied for pension 8 the widow of Robert Anderson, which circumstance caused the pensior depart- ment to decline to give Lydia J, Ander- son a pension as the widow of the same man. Mary Fouts Anderson filed an an- swer In which she denied all the important allegations of the plaintiff. The judse's decision is that the divorve which Anderson secured in the Kansas county 18 vold because the district court of such county bad no jurisdiction over Lydia, not a resident of Kansas, an1 that she did mot have proper notice given her of the pendency of the suit. Having so de- clded these polnts, the court further de. cided that Lydia is the real widow and as such is entitled to the pension.

Omaha Cooperage works are being made by M. D Welch. While the ruins are still smolder- ing, enough of the rubbish has been cleared away to ascertain that the safe is all right This will be lifted today. An investigation showed that the foundations of the burned butidings are all right and these will be used again. A two-story brick building will be erected on the site of the burned strue- ture. In addition to rebuilding a portion of the buildings destroyed by fire the com- pany proposes to commence at once the erection of a brick bullding just south of the presant plant. This new building will be 200 feet in length by eighty feet in width and will be three the basement. Material for this construc tion is pow being ordered and it is ex- pected that grading for the foundations will commence by the time the wrockers will be able to commence clearing away the debris of the old plant. Wh no estimate of the cost of tae new building has been made | public, it 1s understood that the total will | approach $75,000. Other improvements ‘o be made by the cooperage company this season arc expected to make the totel fully $100,000 There is a scarcity of material at the present tiwe, but Mr. Welch has secured enough brick to commence work. He has| ordered engincs and other machinery neces- | eary and expects to have his plant in work- ing order about the middle of the sum- mer. In the meantime the packers' orders are being taken care of by securing ship- ments of barrels from other points. | Primaries Today. Republican and democratic primaries will be held today. There Is no contest in any of the wards and the delegates will go in as announced by the chairman of the two committees. On account of there being lit- tle interest manifest in the election up to this time it is figured that the vote at the primaries will be very light. Saturda> the conventions will be held. Republican delegates will gather at the city hall at 2 o'clock, while the democrats | will meet at 3 o'clock at Hibernian hall, Twenty-third and N streets. The repub lican and democratic calls are the same and it 1s not expected that any time will be lost in mgking nominations. The call 1ssued provides for the nomination of a tax commissioner, two members of the city council and three members of the Board of Education. There seems to be little i any | interest in the coming election, as there is s0 much uncertainty about the eity char- ter, Clab Smoker, Saturday evening of this week there will be a smoker at the rooms of the South Omaha club. This is to be the first of a serles of entertalnments to be given during the next few weeks. The directors of the club have arranged for a short musical pro- gram, a recitation or two and luncheon.

PLy- sicians have put Coox together again and give it out that he will recover. Losses Greatly Exaggerated, Major F. P Wolcott, one of the *raveling representatives of the Union Stock Yards company, was here yesterday making a re- port to General Manager Kenyon. The ma- jor has just returend from & trip through Wyoming and Colorado and he says that the losses of live stock reported on account of the bad weather are overrated. ‘“From this time on,” said the major, “there will be big runs of cattle and sheep to th's market. In fact, we expect to beat all pre. vious records this year in the matter of receipts.”” Continuing, the major said that stories, including | { ley and Mrs. Henry MacDonald. | evening, March 21, at 8:15, for the benefit | | Omaha Young Women's Christian associa- | ' e WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY Miss McHugh will address the members of South Branch Young Women's Christian association on Tuesday evening, her sub ject to be “Macbeth.” There will be spe- clal music and a general invitation Is ex tended.

One-Thirty-Third. at ome Representative Morsman's recent declar- ation in the house that he had looked into the matter of railroad taxation and that he felt assured and satisfied in his own mind that for ten years the railroads have pald more than their fair share of taxes in this state, is still provoking not a little contradictory comment from others who teel they have looked into the matter quite a8 thoroughly as has the legislator. W. G. Ure, the Real Estate exchange's most persistent statistician, eaid “It certainly a matter of common knowledge—outside of the legislature, any- way—that the railroads pay only about per cent of the city and village taxes they ought to pay. Surely enough has been said about the rallroads payrng less than their share of etate and county taxes to put any careful legislator on inquiry in the matter. Cursory examination of Auditor Weston's biennial report would have revealed the fact that some of the raflroads are not paying their share any- way. Take the Unfon Pacific. It is as- sessed $,030,864 on its main and branch is Omaha & Republican Valley railroad. But the Union Pacific’s net profits of operation of its lines in Nebraska for the year end- irg December 1, 1001, was $4,807,288, Capl- talize this income on the usual basis for such property, 4 per cent, it means that the Unlon Pacific property in Nebraska is worth $120,182,200. It s assessed at $6,030,864, or at one-twentieth of its in- come value. “Take the B. & M. in Nebraska. It has 19161 miles of track between Plattsmouth and Kearney. It is nssessed at $2,027,238. Its net profit for the year ending Decem- ber 1, 1901, was $2,498,306. Capitalized at 4 per cent this means that this plece of road is worth $64,676,500, and that it is assessed at one-thirty-third of its income value. These things are in the reports prepared for legislators to study, and yet they brazenly stand in our leglslative halls and tell us that the railroads are tax-bur- dened and that the farmers are the tax shirkers. Property in Nebraska is nom- inally assessed at one-sixth of its actual value, The Union Pacific is assessed at one-twentieth of its income value, the B. & M. In Nebraska at one-thirty-third of its income value. Who are the tax shirk- ers Says Railroads Evade Taxes. A representative of the Real Estate ex- change who has been in Clay and Adams counties in the interest of S. F. 248, which provides for the taxation of railroad prop- erty within the citles for municipal pur- poses, returned Wednesday night. “Conditions in Clay county are peculfar, he sald, “for there are no large towns in that county and the rajlroads have about 120 miles of main line track there. In every town, according to the figures of the county treasurer, however, the railroads evade from 27 to $500 of the tax they should pay. The greatest evasion is in Sutton, where two banking houses pay as much tax as all of the rallroads, although the B. & M. main line occupies a large part of the center of the town. The supervisors ter when the figures were obtained from the treasurer's books and when the facts had been made public they adopted a reso- lution calling upon Senator Cox and Rep- resentatives Caldwell and Fishback to use all means in their power to enact into law the bill now pending in the senate. “At Hastings the conditions are very bad from the standpoint of the individual prop- erty owner. Hastings is suffering from the effect of & ‘boom,’ and with a constantly decreasing assessment upon railroad prop- erty, as shown by the assessments for 1890 and 1902, the tax rate for municipal pur- poses has reached 60 mills on the dollar of assessed valuation. The total taxes col- lected at Hastings amount to about $42,000, of which the railroads pay about $3,000, while on the basis of the property actually owned in the town they should pay at least $10,000, which shows that they evade at least $7,000 of the taxes they should pay. he people at Hastings did not realize that they were being made the victims of the iniquitous system of rallroad taxation now in vogue, and it required the produc- tion of the figures to show them the facts. They bed been led to believe that they were recelving a certain part of the value of the Burlington terminal property at Omaha and when shown that the value of that property was not in any degree apportioned to Adams county they expressed surprise. C. F. Har rison remained at Hastings and a publie meeting probably will be held Friday even ing, to be addressed by persons familiar with the conditiouns.™ LOCAL BREVITIES.
