! SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.



The returns of the 1899 assessment for
the Fourth ward were turned in to the city
clerk yesterday. AS this ward contains four
packing houses and the stock yards the
work of the assessor is watched with con-
siderable interest. Lots. improved and I'M
improved, were assessed at sos, It's, as COM
pared with 1914, $50 in 1898, an increase of
1925. Lands, improved and unimproved,
were assessed at 1924, 100 as compared with
$215,1 for 1898, an increase Of SIS, 955.
Personal property in the ward has been
assessed at $134, 1858 as against $1l6, 446 a
year ago, an increase Of SIS, 912. The total
increase in the valuation of the ward as
shown by the returns is $3S, 492. While this
is not quite as much of an increase as was
expected by some it is considered a move
in tue right direction. Those who pretend to
study such matters assert that the valua-
ton of the Fourth ward ought really to be
raised at least 100000 in order that the
big corporations should pay taxes in pro-
portion to the value of the plants and the
amount of manufactured product on hand.
An increase of $23,O57 is shown In the
First ward assessment. the total increase
for the two wards being SCI ,549. Reports
from the Second and Third wards are not
in yet, but most likely will be turned over
by Monday. An increase is looked for in
both of these wards and 1t is barely pos
sible that the total increase in the four
wards will amount to $4,000 0

Excessive Use.
Common soda is all right In its place and
Indispensable in the kitchen and for cook
Ing and washing purposes, but it was never
intended as a medicine, and people who use
it as such WILT some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit
which thousands of people practice and
one which is fraught with LANCER; more
over the soda only gives temporary relief

worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to

Inflammation or peritOnitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dys-
pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by
druggists under the name OF Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20

by promptly digesting the food they create

RECOVERY OF THE WEST.
What Controller Dawes Saw on His
Trip to the Coast.


Chicago, June 27.-Controller Dawes
was in Chicago today on his return
Journey from Puget Sound, whittier lie
accompanied Senator Fairbanks. OF In
diana. The latter went up to Alaska
on the revenue cutter McCulloCh to in
vestigate the boundary dispute. The
controller spoke Of the financial condi.
tion of the West. and other matters OF
current interest, saying:
To-day the West is becoming
creditor instead of debtor. and is do
ing large portion of it's business with
its own capital. Many OF the banks
in the West, which a few years ago
were rediscounting large lines of paper
a. high rates, in the East, are now
competitors in the making of loans in
the Eastern market.
THE condition of business through
out the West is extremely good, and IN
marked contrast with conditions
which existed there several years ago.
The people seemed to be engaged al
most exclusively in the development Of
the great resources of the country.
"The West of 1892 was in great
measure devoted to specializing upon
future values, as was to certain ex-
tent the case throughout the country;
but the West of 1899 is developing
present values. While the Western
man of 1892 dealt largely in equities,
he is is now dealing very largely in I'M.
encountered fees. TIE recovery of the
West from the depression of 1898 has
been splendid. That such complete
recovery could be made on the Pacific
coast in few years is commentary
upon the great resources of the coun-
try, and tribute to the character OF
its population.
"There seems to be a general senti-
ment on the part of the people on the
coast that the Alaska-boundary diff
Guilty will be properly and rightfully
settled without trouble. They feel,
however, the kenest interest in the
subject, and fully realize the import
ance OF a proper decision to their own
commercial welfare.
The question of Asiatic commerce
has become one of added interest and
importance to tine coast since Dewey's
victory at Manila, and the aggressive
ness and alertness which the Western
people have heretofore shown in COM
mon will inute to the betterment of
our commerce with Asia in a marked
degree"

POLITICAL SITUATION Is SERIOUS
when lie Made His Estimate of the

New York, June "A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Major General Miles is an advocate

General Otis. He declined to discuss
the political position in the Philip
pines other than to say it was serious,
nor would he give any idea of the
troops that should be sent to the Phil
ippines to place the archipelago under
American control.
General Marcus P. Miller, who re-
Gently arrived from the Philippines,
where he governed llo llo. has been
living here since his return. General
Miller's view as to the number of men
required for the subjugation of the
islands is very different from that OF
General Otis. He believes IS, 900 men,
ut least, are required: 10000 for the
control of Luzon. and the remainder
for the restoration of peace and order
in the other islands.
General Miller's view comedies with
General Lawton's and that of other Off
GERS subordinate to General Otis. In
fact, in other than administration cir
Giles there is a disposition to believe
that General OTIS estimate of the men
required was made when he knew Of
the desire of the president not to raise
volunteers if possible to avoid it.
There is no truth in the story that
General Miles has applied to be sent
to Manila. General Miles would not
wish to take any action to displace
General Otis when that officer is doing
all lie can to quell the rebellion with
the limited means at his command.
Notwithstanding the report to the con-
trary, the president is satisfied with
General Ots' course, and has no inten-
tion OF relieving or recalling him. 1t
is equally untrue. it is asserted by Act
ing Secretary Meiklejohn, that Gem
eral Otis has cabled that he will be
compelled to retreat unless promptly

Chicago, June 27.- A special to the
Chronicle from Tacoma, Wash. says:
"Miss frankie FIormon, of the Black
Hills, S. D., has discovered what Atlin
mining men believe will become the
greatest quartz mine in Alaska and
British Columbia. 1t consists of an ore
vein from 200 to 600 feet in width and
nearly mile long. In its course this
immense vein is intersected by Atlin
City. The ledge is true fssure of
free milling ore. with hanging wall
of seIpentine and foot wall of quart
ute. The largest surface assay is $27,
and many assays average IS, making it
much richer than the famous Tread
well mine, if these values continue
with the depth. To determine this,
shafts are now being sunk. Miss
Flormon, her father and friends have
located claims covering the entire
ledge. 1t was discovered by her two
months ago, while she was hunting for
mineral. She has been prospecting in
Atln for some time with her father,
