FARMERS HOLD THEIR GRAIN
As n consequence Grain Trnilic In TN
usually Light-other Freight Busi-
ness OyerbnInnceS Decrease.

officials of railroad freight departments
have discovered within the last few weeks
a remarkable dsincination on the part of
western farmers to dispose of their grain,
and as result the grain traffic at this time
is extremely light This is somewhat out of
the common at this season when the move
ment of grain is usually the largest. En-
planation of this condition is found, so rail-
road officials assert. in the low prices pre-
vailing and the falling off in the export de-
mand.
During the month Of November the grain
traffic over the western lines converging in
Chicago called into service only 15.7i2 cars,
reducing the October delivery by 16,4i0 cars
September witnessed the maximum grain
movement, and comparison with the de-
llveries Of November shows a decrease last
month Of "A, 400 cars, or an average months
traffic. Railroad men, however. have no rea-
son TO regret the decreased movement of
grain because all their available freight cars
have been called into service for the trans
portaton of merchandise and ether articles
which pay higher rate than grain. Conse
quently, the earnings of the railroads were
not lowered, and there was not the excessive
demand for cars that there would have been
had the grain movement reached its usual
volume.

PROPERTY GROWS IN VALUE
Valuation Increases Over Last Year Nearly
Half Million Dollars,
TAX DEPARTMENT FACES MANY PROBLEMS
Frccholdcrs Find that Accrued Taxes
Exceed value of Property and that
They Have Been rnHing for
Another Mans Lot.

During the past year the value OF taxable
property in Omaha, as shown by the records
of the tax commissioner. has swollen S4Sq e.
1io. The increase in the 1900 assessment
over 1899 Is accounted for by new improve
ments and additional personal levies No
material changes have been made in the as
sessment OF property included on the rolls
for both years except in a few instances
The number of personal assessments made
for 1900 is about 1,20O in less of the num-
ber made iu 1899
From the increase mentioned of s4S9, ,74O
it is necessary to subtract Professionally the
valuation of property owned by insurance
companies, leaving the net total $3.50, 600
The validity of the insurance companies
city assessment Is now being contested in
the courts, the companies claiming that the
tax IS all wEi,h should lawfully be inn
posed upon them.
The tax commissioner states that the de-
lay in obtaining the figures of the 1900 as
scssment has been due to the inability of the
tax department to compile the footings OF
the personal assessments until after the
last return is in. The entire list also has
been rechecked in order to avoid duplicate
assessments. The completed figures for 1900
are as follows:

The "QuinCy" line has in PROGRESS some
extensive work of improvement between this
city and Pattonsburg. Mo-, where connection
is made with the Wabash. One OF the first
matters which w. G. Brimson took under
consideration when he became general man
ager of the road was The Improvement of its
trackage and as a result the entire line will
be relaid with seventy pound steel rails,
to take the place of the ifty-six pound rails.
Several thousand new ties have been deliy-

work will be pursued throughout the winter,
1t is hoped to have the entire line equipped
with new rails and ties before spring. At
present operations are confined to the track

Willis NJ. Ward entered plea of guilty
in federal court yesterday to the charge
of sending unmailable matter through the
mails. 1t appears that Ward had sent a
letter to E. J. Gillett of 1447 North Twen-
tieth street defaming a woman, which led
to his indictment. Judge Munger imposed
fine of SIS, which Ward paid, along with
about $50 costs.
John A. Linderman of Adams also entered
plea of guilty to a similar charge, but
inasmuch as the letter which he was charged
with having sent to a young woman of that
place was not in court and as Judge Munger
did not care to impose sentence until he had
learned from its perusal the enormity of
the offense, sentence was reserved until
this morning. Linderman is operating IL
lumber yard at Adams, where he stands
we'll, and his counsel, Senator Murphy of
Beatrice, represented to the court that he
did not consider him just right mentally.

Mrs. John Shannahan wife OF the defend
ant on trial before Judge Baker for the kill
ing Of Ed Callahan and Ed Joyce in South
Omaha last July was the principal witness

the tragedy as it appeared to her. Her
testimony was 'avo able t1 the defendant
going 10 snow that he vas attacked b. the
men killed She also told how her husband
had suffered an injury to one of his eyes on
the night of the trouble.
Mrs. Smnnahan is a rather comely woman,
with an intellectual face. While she was
on the witness stand she entrusted the care
of a prattlng youngster TO Shannahan. The
little one played about the fathers knee, ap-
parently delighted with the strange sur
roundings.
The state rested at noon Tuesday and after
the jury returned from a visit to the scene
Of the double killing testimony for the de-
fense was commenced. Nearly all the wit
nesses have now been examined and the con-
clusion of the case is near at hand
