Mrs. Conway's Theatre-Mr. Booth.

Mr.. Booth last evening began an engagement
at Mrs. Conway's Theatre, Brooklyn, and appeared
as Hamlet before o very large audience A new
criticism upon this impersonaton OF Mr.. Booths
would be like an attempt to say something fresh
concerning Milton and Homer. not that Mr.. Booths
attributes as an actor are comparable with the
qualities OF these poets as poets but that all that
Is good, bad and Indifferent about his performance
has been commented upon again and again. and
all that need now be cnrOncled Is the TACT that
former successes were repeated to the satisfaction
OF vast assemblage. The tragedy was well placed
upon the stage ana was evenly acted. "Richeleu"
will be given tonight.

We desire TO call the attention of
Omaha taxpayers to the fact that
the City Council will be in session
as a board of equalization during
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
Of the present week. People who
have any complaints to make about
the assessments upon their prop
ersy, should avail themselves of
this opportunity to present
their respective claims and grie-
y,uces to the only tribunal
legally authorized to make correc-
tions on the tax list. Many of our
heaviest tax payers have heretofore
made II . practice to ignore the
boards Of equalization with . view
of securing reductions or remis-
sions By lobbying with Councilman.
This sharp practice often proves
unjust to the poorer tax payer, and
we hone viii hereafter be done away
with. No changes should be made
IN the tax list after the adjourn
meuf az the Board Of Equalization,
exceptng in ELSEWHERE clerical mis-
takes or omissions occur. If this
regulation was rigidly enforced, the
council would waste less time upon
and escape much annoyance nom
raonle who want their taxes re-
duced or RENTED. upon all sorts oil
pretexts.

THERE are eight WOODEN mills
now In operation on the Pacific
coast. They give permanent en-
ployment to fifteen hundred opera
tives. The capital invested i'm each
of these factories varies from $4,000
to $l50, 900, according to capacity.
Now we see no reason why wooden
mills should not prove just as remu-
nerative In Nebraska as i'm Califor-
mia or Oregon. There are to-day
nearly one hundred thousand sheep
grazing in our Valleys.
Instead of exporting the raw pro-
duct to eastern mills, and exchang-
ing 1t for blankets, wooden cloth and,
yarns, we might just as readily save
the expense of double transporta-
ton, and leave the profits of the
dealer and manufacturer i'm our own

TWENTY acres of Trains Omaha
plantation Is advertised to be sold

For the information of the Chron-
ick and other contemporaries whose
sympathies are aroused by Trains
matchmaking circulars, We will
state that the twenty acres were
sliced from the portion of Trains
plantation which is the remotest
and therefore the least valuable.
This was done at the request of his
personal friends for his special ac-
commodation. The assessment
may also be lows as is usual i'm forced

would sell readily at $1,000 per

THE Executive Board of the Re
publican State Central Committee
will meet In this city on Tuesday.
The objects of the meeting have al
ready been stated by the BEE in
general terms.
Although the action of the execu-
tive committee, is at best but pre-
liminarv, here Is n subject
to which we deem 1t our duty to
call attention. The State Central
Committee, as originally constitu-
ted, was composed of one member
from each Senatorial district. This
arrangement, like our legislativeap-
portionment, may of course be some
what inequitable, but it afforded at
least, a partial opportunity to the
Republicans in the various sections,
to have their representatives in the
committee.
The removal of several members
of the committee from the districts
which had elected them - their
representatives naturally raises the
question whether these member
have not forfeited the right to mem
bership. This is always the case In
legislative andreprssentative bodies
and we should also consider 1t ap-
plicable In this instance. -
While we have no objection to
any particular member of the Com
mittee, 1t seems TO US that justice
and equity demand that the people
of each section should be represent'
ed by men who reside among them
and have an opportunity to know
their wishes. For instance No can
did person would contend that Lin
coin, which is entitled to one member
should be represented by four mem
bers and yet such will be the case
if the committee Is not reconstructed
For our part We believe such q re
construction is im~peratively neces'
sary.
We want to see every section and
every district represented by men
who are bona fide residents there
men thoroughly identified with the
wants and interests of their cOnstitu'
ences, and we hope to 9 every
member present, when the new ap'
portionment is made, in order thai
no section shall have just reasons
for complaint.
