Direct taxes-taxes paid by individ-
ual property holders-are the most
unpopular, because they seem TO come
into most intimate relation to peo-
pies pocket books. We do not stop
to consider that taxes paid by rail-
roads, telegraph, telephone and in.
surance coh pauies are derived from
the people who furnish the business
Tor these corporations All these
taxes come out of the people, the pro-
ducers Of wealth. Is il not plainly
apparent, for instance, that the pol
icy holders pay the insurance tax?
The taxes from Insurance companies
amounted to Sl45, 420 IN 1898 ia this
state.

Dannebrog Nelson Of Prser and Rice o.

Omaha.
There is considerable speculation as TO the
| hnal outcome in the three sections. In sec
tion a. Hammond OF Wymore has finished
all his games with a score OF 81 won to
lis lost Edwards of Lincoln might tie
with Hammond by winning his three un-
finished games and either Hartzell of Kear-
ney or Rasmussen OF South Omaha could
win first place by winning all their unhn-
| ished games. On the face of the returns
Hammond will have first place.
In section p. Bddle OF Omaha with a score
OF e1z to u is sure OF first place For sec
ond place De France Of Lincoln has the
lead at present with Az won to 1ik lost and
one to finish. Ellis OF Bloomfield has lost but
one game, but has FIVE to finish II he wins
from De France It will place him in good
position for second place. Brega Of Galloway
with two lost is also strong probability.
In Section c, first and second place de-
pends upon the outcome OF the game between
Rice OF Grand Island and Bruner OF Omaha.
II Rice wins It makes him tie with Hin
man, won to l lost. II Bruner wins It
gives him first place, and II he draws It ties

the most logical site, and If the improve

ment and support I do not think that l
will consider other available sites which l
have in mind
81 come from a city that is longing to
hear the sonata that is to be etrummed by
the ball and the bat in the big base ball
oratorio that will be put on the boards by
the new Western league next summer"
declared Charley Young to the Denver
Times. Omaha is one of the towns on the
league circuit that Is base ball hungry and
the sport Of kings will be received by us
with the gladsome palm. l know that
when Omaha had a place in the Western
league circuit a couple of years ago the
hackers OF the club charged that refriger-
ator trust was pulling against them and
were talking of collaborating with Nansen
on work to. be entitled The Marble
Heart, or Pitcher OF Ice Water But the
base ball conditions in Omaha today are
different from those OF that yesterday. Two
years ago the main guys behind the club
did not know the difference between a dou-
BILE play and bat bag, while this year we
have behind the scheme a pair Of men who
wear base ball caputs upon their shoul-
ders. / refer to Buck Keith and Frank
bduule' Banule was nlmSelI star IN the
dim and distant past of the game, and
while Frank has passed number of add-
tional milestones in his life since he has
gamboled upon the green, his love for the
sport has not been diminished. Buck Keith
is of younger generation and has base
ball served to him at his three meals per
day, Winding up his astronomical feasts on
each occasion by picking his dental func-
tions with a bat, so I'm told. AS to the
interest that is felt in the game in my city,
there is no question of it.. At purely ANA
teur clashes this summer Buck Keith had
standing-room only houses, thousands turp-
ing out to see them. When an amateur
ball game will prove 80 great magnet as
to attract such crowds, you may be sure
that city has plenty of support for good
professional team. Therefore ! confidently
look to see the game enjoy milk-and-
honey season in Omaha next summer, and
II the other cities on the circuit give as
good support the future of the new West
ern league Is painted in coors of the
brightest hue"

the money and the desire to own the ami
