Gentry Bros shows,

The announcement that the above great
trained ANNA exhibition will be in this
city on June ~12-13-14, will prove gratifying
news to the combined inhabitants Of the
town. Everybody waits for and goes TO
see the Gentry Bros. performances and
their annual visit to this city is an event
calling for a holiday in the schools and an
off afternoon with the ladies and children.
The best housekeeper In town will pay
less attention to tidying up the parlor
rather than be late at a Gentry afternoon
performance. 1t is a treat that comes
but annually, and occasionally not so often,
and those that miss the opportunity this
year OF witnessing the show will miss
the greatest show ever brought to town
by the Gentrys. The street parade is q
decided feature this season. The Gentry
Bros. have over 500 educated animal actors
in their roster this year. every one of which
is trained to a marvellous degree Of per-
lection.

These figures do not indicate, to the mind
OF a person understanding how tax values
are given, that the residents OF Omaha and
South Omaha are so much poorer than the
other cities mentioned, but II does mean
that they report less Of their property for
taxation than do those other places men,
toned. 1t confirms the statement that we
made In our opening circular, that tax
payers generally report for taxation only
that part OF their property that they are
obliged to.
All OF these figures that are given go to
show that all taxable property in this state
is returned for less than one-tenth of it's
value, for taxation. That being the case,
1t should appear plain to any fair-minded
man that the railroads of Nebraska arc
paying taxes, and have been paying taxes
for the past ten years, on a valuation ap-
proximating $4,000 per mile, but no man
with the least idea Of railroad values would
assume that the railroads as a whole in the
state would be worth approximately that
sum.
II Council Bluffs returns one-quarter for
taxation,
If Denver returns one-quarter for taxa
tion,
If, Kansas City returns one-quarter for
taxation,
What part of omaha's property pays tax
Answer: Less than one-twelfth. (Adv.)

Trenton FALL, N. Y.

For a great many years Trenton Falls
has been known as q summer resort with
more than the usual attractions. At this
point the West Canada Creek. which
drains a large area OF the Southern Adj
rondacks. descends about 500 feet through
a picturesque gorge, forming a series of
wonderfully beautiful falls and cascades,
called by the Indians Kauya-hoo-ra Leap
ing Water" For several years the sur
roundings have been undergoing extensive
improvements; an electric plant has been
installed. and the falls. gorge and woods
are illuminated at night. presenting a pic
ture OF rare beauty. Trenton Falls is IS
miles north OF Utica, N. Y, and reached
via the New York Central. You may read

SEEMING AT CUT OFF: LAKE
some Members OF Fitch ana Game Pro-
tective Association Opposed
to Practice.

The Douglas County Fish and Game Pro-
tective association is threatened with dis
ruption over the SEEMING OF Cut on lake.
Some Of the members Of the association
have decided that the lake should be seined
to remove the carp, while other members
believe that no SEEMING should be done. The
opposition factions are headed by Sandy"
Mcdonald and Henry Holman. Mr.. Holman
says:
Henry Mcdonald secured permission
from the governor to seine Cut on lake to
remove the carp, which he claims are In
Turing the game FISH In the lake. He has
hired men with a seine and they are now
removing the fish. l learn that one day
they took out 700 pounds. which was sold
on the market, Mr.. Mcdonald receiving half
OF the receipts and the men with the seine
the other half.
Now, in my opinion, It Is not desirable
TO have the lake seined. The game fish are
doing we'll enough and will do much better
II the seins are kept out OF the water.
There was a large quantity OF spawn placed
in the lake this spring and the State Fish
commission put in a lot of fry of the wall
eyed pike. The seines injure these small
fish and the spawn. What carp are there
are doing no harm and afford considerable
sport for men who like still fishing. There
are a large number OF these men In the
city who can afford to buy an ordinary
hook and line, but who cannot afford to
buy reels, casting rods and the numerous
things which are required by men who pur-
sue game fish. We should not take from
these people all chance to get fish and l
voice the feeling OF a number Of the mem
bers Of the association when 1 say that the
action OF Mr.. Mcdonald and his friends
will not only injure the fish in the lake at
present, but will make enemies for the as
ISOLATION out Of men who would assist US
in fighting poachers ii they were permitted
to fish for the comparatively few carp in
the waters"
This Is the second attempt made to take
the carp from Cut on lake. Last year
other members OF the association we're
granted permission to use seines for that
purpose, but after working a day or two
someone who desired to preserve the carp
for line and rod cut the seines to pieces
and the attempt was given up.

In the table preceding this we gave some
details regarding the taxable property re-
turned in this and contiguous states, show
ing the relative values Of other property
returned for taxation with that OF railroads
II proves conclusively that railroads have
been assessed for a term of years at q
higher relative valuation than any Other
property in the state. In an article follow
ing this we will explain the reason and how
1t occurred.
The censue Of 1900 will soon be COM
pleted and It will give a conservative valus-
ton on which to base the amount Of ma.
terial wealth owned in the various states
and with those figures at hand we will ther
be able to determine the proportion OF this
wealth returned for taxation. For instance
In the state of Missouri. which under the
census will show a wealth OF much over
$1,000 for each person in the state. they ir
1900 returned but 1923 per capita for taxa
ton, or a little less than one-ffth. The
various states are not uniform In regard to
the amount they return for taxation. some
having regulations by law that govern the
matter and others leaving 1t to the wants
of the counties and the judgment Of the
county assessors. IN the year lSOO montana
returned $685. per capita and Colorado s4O2
Montana's report and Missouris figures re.
turned mark the ordinary extreme In sucf
reports. However, in Nebraska. In 1900
they returned but $161 per capita. and tho
whole taxable values returned Of the state
including railroads, In that year we're bui
Sill, TAI, 500. There Is no doubt but what
there is nearly 81 900. 900, 900 Of property IN
the state of Nebraska. While the census
figures are not completed, as yet. enough
are at hand to show that less than one
tenth Of the property valuations were re-
turned for taxes.
We give below a statement which will
show that this difference in amounts re-
turned continues on down through the city
organizations,

From 100 girlish Threats these words were
voiced to the thrilling music Of the famous

noon yesterday. The adaptation was the
work Of Gertrude Graves, herself a Brown

Three verses and choruses we're sung and
a world Of sentiment and school patriotism

friends and relatives present, not to return
again till the fall months of another school
year.
There was one who will never return as
a student. for she was the fair graduate,
Miss Olga Lambhofer Of Schuyler, Neb., in
commemoration Of whose departure the ex-
ercises were held. The sole representative
Of the class Of '02, the Nebraska girl was
the recipient of more homage and special
honors than are the usual lot OF girls and
