worthy that, the name of the writer in
question having been Dickens, people
who speak of him nowadays always
mention him as Dickens it is practi-
cally, and very desirably, forgotten that
he was once universally called Boz, and
that he willingly applied that appella-
ton to himself. The day of such things
has gone by a man who has a lawful
name of his own no longer seeks to hide
it, merely because he is a public writer,
under al absurdity. And yet an Amer
lean, a representative American, and
one of the wisest and brightest men that
aver wrote under that title, still goes
about foreign lands with his white hairs
under a Disagreement of that kind.

WOMEN ON BOARDS OF HEALTH.

WOMEN ON BOARDS OF HEALTH.
Why are not women appointed on the
boards of health oftener than they are?
There are instances, it is true, where
they serve, but these are comparatively
rare, and yet they would be most valu-
able. If all the boards of health were
made up solely of physicians, the need
of women would not be so apparent,
of fact, almost any one will do Oh this
board. Even a doctor has not the

Mr.. j. Sterling Morton has for years
opposed the policy of making liberal
appropriations from public funds to
maintain state and county fairs. There
is no question that this custom has
grown into a rank abuse. In our own
county the people have paid nearly a
thousand dollars a year for a cheap
pumpkin show that has been of no ben
eft whatever. The argument is that if
Beatrice does not have a fair, and get
the money some other town will. The
remedy is to repeal the statute that per-

The property in Otoe County, assessed
at it's real selling value, as the law re-
quires it to be assessed, is worth at least
500 900, 900. This figure is rather an
under than an over-estimate of our
selling values.
In view Of the beggarly statement
which is made under the system of leg
allied mendacity now provided for, the
county and all its inhabitants appear
poverty stricken. If there is no remedy
in legislation for this continued misrep-
resentation of the wealth of the inhab-
itants and the value of the property in
Nebraska City and Otoe County, it is
difficult to see how the real financial
character of this community IAN be
justly and properly established.
But Otoe County is only one of
many counties that are thus damaged
by the present revenue laws of the state
and the present method of their admins

The legislature should, in behalf of
common honesty and the good name of
the commonwealth, provide for a better
and more reasonable method of assess

INDEMNITY DENIED.
Gen. Otis Decides Against Legality
of IIOiIO Claims.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Maj. Gen.
Otis has virtually decided against the
legality of claims for indemnity filed by
residents of Iloilo whose property was
destroyed during the operations incident
to the capture of that city on Feb. l..
Claimants who reside in other countries
are advised to present their claims
through the governments of their respec-
tive countries.
The claims. according to information
received kere, are held by persons of
various nationality, including Fiiipinos
and amount to several millions of dol
lars. German subjects resident at Iliolo
are said to be the prime claimants. Gen.
Otis has addressed them a similar letter,
a copy of which reached the war depart
ment today. This letter calls attention
at the outset that the claims presented
vary greatly in amount, and offer no
proof of actual ownership by the claim
ant Of property destroyed, SO that even If
liability of the United States were con-
coded, no conclusion could be reached
on the facts as concluded. The general
further says that the liabilities Of the
United States to indemnify owners of the
property, even If destroyed i'll rebellion
against this country, would not exist.
The only valid basis for claims would be
the charge that the destruction resulted
from neglect by the United States and
Gen. Otis adds:
Such neglect is not charged, nor can
it be truthfully alleged"

FIGHT ON DR.. BRIGGS.
Another Formal Protest Against HI
Ordination Is Presented.

ordination Is Presented.
NEW YORK, May 10-Another formal
protest, representing the views of large
number of Protestant Episcopal clergy
men, against the proposed ordination of
Rev. DR.. Briggs has been forwarded to
Bishop Potter. The protest was the out
come of a largely attended meeting of
the New York Catholic club. held at st.
Ignatius' church, and was unanimously
adopted. 1t was decided by the members
of the cabinet not to give out the pro-
test for publication until after it shall
have reached Bishop Potter's hands.
1t Is understood, however, that the pro-
test calls attention to the religious prin-
ciples of DR.. Briggs, as evidenced by his
writings and by his sermons; points out
that doubt as to his eligibility has been
raised in many quarters, notes that
strong demand for an investigation as to
his standing and regularity has been
made; suggests the improperly of a Sc
cret ordination, and asks for the APP
pointment of a committee to investigate
the case. Otherwise, it is declared, the
danger of further and serious dissension
in the church will be very great and an
open rupture may follow.
Bishop Potter still maintains his silence
in the matter, and no sign whatever has
come from him as to his intention and
purpose.
While Bishop Potter will not indicate In
any way his purpose, the growing opinion
throughout the Protestant Episcopal
circle now is that the ordination of DR..
Briggs will be postponed. The clergy
who give it as their opinion, are careful
to state that 1t is nothing other than
opinion On the other hand, DIR. Briggs
friends do not share in the belief that

WASHINGTON. May 10.-The adjutart
general has received the report of Gen,
r. P. Hughes provost marshal general
of Manila giving an account of the fires
which occurred in Manila in the early
days Of the Filipino rebellion. The re-
port is Endorsed by Gen. Otis, who says
that 1T should be stated that Gen. Hughes
was present in person during the period
covered, and directed all the operations,
and that his tact and vigilance saved the
city from conflagration. General Hughes
report shows that the fires were clearly
incendiary. and that even after they
started the sFtlipinos tried in every way
to prevent their extinguishment. The
firemen were shot at by persons conceal
ed in houses, and efforts were made to
puncture the hose. Gen. Hughes COM
mends the troops for the services they
performed and also speaks In high terms
of the English volunteer fire brigade. The
troops were attachments of the Twenty
third infantry, Second Oregon, Thirteenth
