Denver Tramway Taxes Reduced.

Denver, Nov. 29.-As soon as the
county commissioners were notified
yes serday afternoon that Judge Peter
L. Palmer had dissolved the injunc-
tion which had been issued at the In
stance of the Municipal League, to
prevent them from rendering a deci-
sion regarding the reduction OF the
tax assessments of the corporations, a
resolution was adopted by the board
reducing the claim for delinquent
taxes against the Denver City Tram
way Company for the years 1896. 1897.
1898, 1899 and 1900, from $61 ,919.24 to
S25 900. The company had paid art
of its taxes for the years mentioned.
The delinquent taxes were: 1896, 3d.
1888; 1897, 1,3s7.49; 1898, $15.-
532.01; 1899, $7,09s.06; 1900, s24,-
1880.
Several weeks ago Charles j..
Hughes, Jr., attorney for the Tram
way company, offered to settle the lit
igation which had been commenced
for the purpose of collecting the delin-
quent taxes. He offered the county
commissioners $25,OO0. This offer was
accepted by the resolution of yester-
day. The reduced amount will be
considered a compromise of the litiga-
ton now in progress.

sonable doubt that in order to carry
out their plans the cattle companies
have persuaded thousands of soldiers
widows to perjure themselves.
Your correspondent recently inter-
viewed one of the widow homesteaders,

yised to call at a certain Office IN Oma-

in charge of the Office that he repre-
scented a company or syndicate that was
locating soldiers widows on home
steads. and he went on to explain to me
how II was done. He said he would
buy me ticket from Omaha to Broken
Bow and return; that the agent at
Broken Bow would meet me at the tram
and take me to hotel. and would then
go with me to the land office, where
was to file a homestead claim on u
quarter section of land, the agent pay
ing all expenses of the filing Then

would pay me $75, and | was to come

me it was all legal; that | didn't have
to live on the land or even see 1t; that
all | had to do was to sign the paper
and they would attend to all the rest.
Well, am poor and needed the money,

furnished me a ticket from Omaha 10

Broken Bow gentleman met us at

and filed on homesteads. as we had
agreed to. Then each of us signed

POSTMASTER GENERAL WOULD
EXTEND RURAL FREE DELIVERY

is based on equity and reason, that the
spacn which now interveEes between
city and rural service should be dimin-
ished by extending free delivery to
towns of not fewer than 1000 popula-
tion or not less than $5 900 gross postal
receipts.
"Under existing conditions there is
inequality and injustice in the compen-
sation of substitute letter carriers IN
free delivery cities. They pass civil
seryice examination. give bond. and
provide themselves with uniforms. In
the larger cities they report daily Tor
duty: in the smaller towns they are re-
uuired to remain within reach OF the Of
fee. subject to call. They constitute
reserye force, always ready to meet an
emergency. Yet, outside of nominal
sa;ary of 81 per annum. they have no
fixed compensation. Their earnings
are irregular and uncertain, depending
upon the number of days they are
called into temporary service as sub
st.tutes and upon the fees they receive
for carrying special delivery letters
1t IS urged that the government guar
antee to each substitute letter carrier
in the larger cities, where the regular
carriers receive $1,000 a year salary
a COMPENSATION of at least $50 per
month, and in the smaller cities, where
the regular pay is $3.50 year, COM
pensation of at least $25 per month.
This plan. if adopted. will insure to
each reserve carrier the certainty of
fixed living income, and is not likely to
involve the government in any consid-
cradle expense

given out by the latter here to-day.

to tear down the fences, and incident

tries upon government lands which
have been made by soldiers widows,

Bartlett Richards is one OF the Dig
cattlemen of Nebraska, and is BROTH
er of the governor of Wyoming.
Mosby will at once begin proceed
ings for the removal of fences from
government land in Nebraska. He said
that tracts containing thousands OF
acres have been fenced in by cattle
men, and that his purpose was to nave
these fences torn down. After con-
ferring with United States District At

lowing has been received by the Age

"I notice that several newspapers
have recently connected my name with

shows that my position is not under
stuod | desire, therefore, to make the
following statement:
INV life work is the promotion OF

bi%b moral character and the gaining
of the respect and confidence of their
neichbors, white and black, both in the

tetching and counsel no influence can
evnr divert me.
"What conferences l have had with

cisl have grown out of my position not

AT every proper opportunity say
to the youth of our people that they
will make a mistake if they seek to

/ ity. or the hope of holding po-
litical office. Now and then. however,
public questions affecting our interests
arise which are so far-reaching and SO
fundamental that they transcend the
