CAUGHT IN HOTEL CORRIDORS Travelers Tell of Their Observations in Different Parts of the Country, F. E. Severance of the vicinity of Plerre, 8.

Brees of Granite, Okl, was an Omaha visitor yesterday and speaks en- thusiastically of the conditions in western Oklahoma. He sal “The town of Granite is one of the thrifty places along the line of the Rock Island westward from Chick- asha. Situated at the base of a great mountain of the finest red granite, and in | the heart of the finest cotton country in the territory, it js destined to become a town of considerable importance. At the north of Granite mountaln is a serfes of fine sulphur springs and near them is one of the finest pecan groves to be found any- ‘where. 8till farther to the northwest of the town and on the northern foothills of the Granite mountains a local ofl company has put down several wells and is produc- ing a good quality of lubricating ofl, as well as fuel petroleum, in paying quan- titles. Tt is also the outfitting depot for the mining regions of the western Wichita mountains, which lie.about fifteen miles to the south of the town. There are two big cotton gins in the town that do a large business.” J. A. McCauley of Hays City, Kan., was an Omah visitor yéaterday and told an interesting story of the formef notoriety and present prosperity of that place. He said: “There was a time when Hays City ‘was the most notorfous town of the west. It. was the scene of many of the exploits of Wild Bill (Hickock), and just west of the town, at a place called Rome in the old days, & station of the Kansas Pacific at the crossing of Big creek, Nebraska's famous character, Buffalo Bill, earned his title, That was along in the late '60s and it was | ere that Mr. Cody made his headquarters when he was filling the buffalo meat con- tract for the bullding force of the Kansas | Pacific.

CLOTHING CATCHES FIRE WHILE PLAYING Mother of the Child is Away Home at Time of Accldent—Tax Commissioner's Figures on Banks. Yesterday afternoor. Esther, the S-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Murphy, Seventeenth and N streets, fatally burned while playing in the yard with matches. In company with other children Esther was playing about a tree. She had some matches and lighted them. Her clothing caught fire and before aid could be summoned the clothing was al- most entirely burned from her body. Mrs. Murphy was in Omaha at the time and the father, who Is & night watchman, was in the house asleep. Drs. Sapp and Delanney were called and did what they could to re- lleve the child's suffering. At 9 o'clock last night the child died and the remains were taken in charge by Undertaker George Brewer. Board of Review at Work. While the Board of Review remained In session all day yesterday not a single com- plaint was filed. Numerous inquiries were made as to the valuation and all comers were given the Information desired. Naturally It 1s expected that the concerns that have been increased in valuation will flle complaints, but these will come later, as it will take a day or two at least to go over the records and make comparisons In 1902 the personal property of the three Dbanks was valued at $777,300, divided aa fol- Unlon Btock Yards Natlonal, $352,000; lows South Omaha Natlonal, $32%5,000; Packers Natfonal, $100,300. For 1803 the tax com- missioner has Increased the valuation so that the banks will be aesessed now as follow Unfon Stock Yards Natlonal, $340,040; South Omaha National, $431,185; Packers' Natlonal, $136,342; total, $908,417. This s an increase over 1902 of $131,117. In 102 the city council made a levy of 9 mills on a valuation of a little over $16,000,- 000. With the increase in valuation of nearly $2,000,000 it is thought that the levy can be reduced to 9 mills or possibly less. The rapld growth of the city, however, compels the necessity for more revenue than some years ago, and It seems hardly probable that the levy will be cut below 9 mills. Police Board Meets. A meeting of the fire and police board was held last night. All members were present. Officer Thomas Wilson was re- ported for being off his beat on the night of May 30 for a couple of hours. The off- cor admitted that he sought shelter during | the heavy rain. The matter was referred to the committee on men und discipline. J. A. Hardy requested that he be per- mitted to open the theater in the rear of the White Front saloon on N street. The request was denled. The applications of I. J. Buckley, Julius Swanson and A. A. Crandall for positions on the fire department were approved. Ap- plications filed by Sam Nevins and Peter | Olson were disapproved and these two men will be called upon to give up thelr posi- tlons on the department today. In the police department the applications of Willlam Coulter and Otto Lelpton were tavorably considered and these men will continue to wear stars. Four applications for positions on the fire department and one for the police department’ were read and referred to the committee on men and dis- elpline. George Curtls, formerly superintendent of fire alarm service, asked that he be al- lowed pay for the ten days' vacation fire- men are usually allowed each year. The finaice committee will look into the mat- ter. The next meeting of the hoard will be held on Tuesday evening, July 7. Manager Holland Resi, A few days ago W. L. Holland, manager of the Nebraska Telephone company in South Omaha, tendered his resignation to the company with the expeotation that it ‘would be accepted at once. Yesterday Mr. Holland was advised that an acting man- ager would be sent to Bouth Omaha within the next few days to relleve him. Holland was appointed manager of the BSouth Omaha exchange In August, 189, At that time the company had/ forty-five tele- phones In service In the city. Now it has 1,050 telephones. Mr., Holland has con- templating resigning for several weeks, as for awhile he Intends devoting all of his time to placing the fire alarm service of South Omaha In first-class condition. It has been largely due to Mr. Holland's energy that the telephone service in Bouth Omaha has reached its present efficiency. Trimming Machines Out. ‘The three wall paper stores In South Omaha removed thelr wall paper trimming machines yesterday and hereafter wall paper will be trimmed by hand. For some time machines have been used, but the paper hangers and decorators objected to the use of machines and at a recent meet- ing the union issued an edict that the trim- ming machine must go. This action on the part of the union will necessarily in- crease the cost of papering a house, as the time spent by trimminz rolls of paper by hand will have to be charged for. Mem- bers of the unfon assert that better work can be done by hanging hand-trimmed paper than by using the machine-trimmed rolls. Bond Mass Meeting.

MURDER TRIAL BEGINS FRIDAY Lina Linnfer Must Answer in Court for the Killing of Robert Yours, The trial of Lina Linnier of Company I, Twenty-fifth infantry, for the murder of Sergeant Robert Yours of the same com- pany at Fort Nlobrara, on April 17 last, will tegin in the United States circuit eourt next Friday morning. The story of the shoot Ing. as related by the prosecution, is as follows: Linnfer, who had been employed as a “striker’ by one of the officers of the regiment, had incurred a dislike for Ser- geant Yours, who was regarded as one of the best disciplinarfans of the regiment, and a man very generally esteemed by his su- perior officers. Linnjer and the sergeant had some words the day previous to the shooting, and the following day Linnfer, upon his return ‘from Valentine, made threats that he was going to get even with the sergeant. He bided his time and found the sergeant in the barrack room alone, sitting on his bunk reading a newspaper. Linnier took his Krag-Jorgensen rifle from its rack and leveled it at the sergeant with the observation: “Now, I've got you' Sergeant Yours jumped out of the bunk with the remark: "My God! You wouldn't shoot me?" Linnier’s reply was to fire the gun. The bullet strick Sergeant Yours in the right side, passing completely through him and out through the walls of the barrack room.. His death was Instantane- ous. Linnfer was arfested, and at the cor. oner's inquest over the murder he did not deny the shooting, but stated that he did not intend to kill him, but “just wanted to cause him some pain'" Linnfer was in- dicted by the federal grand ‘ury at the May session and {s now In the Douglas county jail awaiting trial TRI-CITY PRESS CLUB ANNUAL Election of Offcers Passes Off Smoothly and New Plans Are Lald, The Tri-City Press club yesterday after- noon held the annual election of officers, choosing agaln most of the Incumbents.

BIGGEST FACTOR IN NEW HOUSE SO FAR Danish Results Show Finance Mi ister Beaten by Social Democrat Left Reformists Givenm Majority in Folkething. BERLIN, June 16.—The leading feature in the Relchstag election today was the suc- cess of the social democrats, who have probably gained fifteen seats and polled a total vote of upward of 2,500,000, or 400,000 more than in 1888, All parties concede the success of the soclalists, which has been at the expense of them all The soclalists gained one seat in Berlin and 63,000 votes, seats In Dresden, Solingen, Pirna, Plauen, Sittau, Doebel, Altenburg, Dunstadt, Schwartzburg, Blelfeld, Bey- reuth and Bremen. They lost meats in Sorau and Bornburg. The soclalist gains in Baxony caused Herr Bebel tonight to call Saxony “The Red Kingdom."
