CHICKENS ARE FLYING HIGH
Present Price of Live Poultry Greater
Than Usual Mt This Time
of Year.

The Omaha poultry market is higher than
II has been in many years and buyers pro-
fess to be in the dark as to the price which
will rule for chickens before the new sup
ply comes upon the market. The present
price Of III cents a pound for live chick
ems has never been equalled in the city be-
fore at this season Of the year.
The reason for the high price of poultry
is attributed to the high price of eggs a
year ago. At hat time the packing houses
were heavy buyers and millions of cases
Of eggs went into cold storage, at prices
ranging from 10 to IA cents a dozen. II
cost nearly is cents to hold these eggs dur
ing the winter and many we're sold around
Easter at 10 cents a dozen. The loss has
been estimated at nearly $500, 900 TO the
packers and the present high price Of poul-
try must be added to the result to show the
full effect Of the last boom" in the ege
market.

3. h. ROBSON, PRESIDENT
Offers Few Suggestions To the People
Of the Great and Growing
West Regarding
THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE
An Interview which IL VIII Pay
All Insurers ana would he In
surers to Read.

Eyes, I believe the Bankers Reserve Life
Association will have 500 900 at risk
upon selected lives in the west by the close
OF 1903" said B. H.. Robson. president Of
that vigorous and successful life insurance
company.
"You see the people Of the west learned
a lesson during the panic which they are
not likely to forget. Practically all our
savings drifted to the money centers OF
the east during the prosperous years pre-
ceding 1898.
I'VE we're not only large borrowers, pay
ing Immense interest charges. but prac-
tically all our insurance investments were
with eastern companies.
''They collected SIS, OO0, 900 in premiums
during ten years. This large sum was made
up Of the savings Of our policy holders.
The bulk of it was loaned back to us at high
rates of interest. In other words, we were
paying interest on our own money.
This constituted a double draft upon our
resources. We first sent our savings east.
We then paid interest on the same money
and sent that east. When the panic came
we we're called upon not only to repay the
mortgages, but the interest charges as we'll.
We all know what happened.
TT organization of great 1duciary in
stitutions in our midst became a CONNER
cial necessity. We must have within our
own control the surplus which balances
trade aud prevents financial stringency.
"In these years Of great plenty we can
hoard Our own savings and when times OF
distress come the simple process Of trans
ferring our money from one pocket to the
other will make a panic less destructive.
THE Bankers Reserve Life Association
sends no money to the Atlantic seaboard.
It's surplus remains in this state and hnan-
cial cataclysms cannot put 1t into money
vaults where no benefits can be enjoyed
from II.
ION this theory of home patronage we are
inviting western people to help US while we
help them in return.
ct is a straight business proposition, and
the people are becoming enlightened upon
the subject. Hence the Bankers Reserve
Life writes more business in Nebraska, its
home state, where 1t is best known, than
any competitor.
"Nebraskans especially should place their
life insurance in the Bankers Reserve Life

May NOT Sue THIS YEAR
County Board Undeo dsd as to Enforcing
New "scavsngsr' Bill.
ATTORNEY ENGLISH EXPLAINS THE LAW
some Doubt as to Possibility of GET
ting the DeIinauent Lists In
Proper Form in Time for
Bringing suit.

Adoption Of methods Of collecting back
taxes provided by the "scavenger" bill
seems improbable this year in Douglas
county, the commissioners believing It too
late nov to go into the matter and have
the required reports Of the city and county
treasurers ready for the latter to begin
suits which he would have to do before
July 1, II at all.
The board had asked the opinion of the
county attorney and had 1t read by the
clerk at yesterdays meeting. after which
the matter was referred to committee Of
the whole, which is to report at the next
meeting. Saturday. County Attorney Eng
lish in mis- opinion said:
Under the provisions Of section 40 Of the
act II is made optional with the county COM
~missioners TO enforce the law or not. II
It is your desire to put the act into opera
tion so far as the county is concerned,
during the present year, your board should
Immediately adopt a resolution declaring
that for the year 1903 you elect to enforce
the collection OF delinquent taxes and as
sessments on real estate under the pro-
visions OF said act instead Of under the
general revenue act Of the state.
Duty of County Treasurer.
1T thereupon becomes the duty Of the
county treasurer on or before May Is to
prepare a complete statement Of all the
real estate in the county on which the
taxes for one year or more are delinquent.
This statement is to embrace also a list Of
all city property on which there are un-
paid taxes or special assessments. which
list is required by the act to be furnished
the county treasurer by the city treasurer
on or before May 1 in order to give the
county treasurer an opportunity to include
the same In the statement to be furnished
by him on or before May 10. The statement
prepared by the county treasurer is to be
bound in permanent volume or volumes
and prior to July 1 the county treasurer
shall begin a suit in district court by filing
a petition against the parcels Of land COW
cred by the statement referred to.
1T does not appear to me hat a strict
compliance is required with the dates set
out for the completion Of the statements
by the county and city treasurers, but the
whole matter must be in such a state OF
completion that the suit can be commenced
on or before July l."

CANNOT ELECT TEACHERS NOW
Injunction Against Present south
Omaha Board Of ducat
Hold Good.

South omahs's Board Of Public Education
cannot elect teachers or ~janitors for next
year. Judge Baxter yesterday declined
to sustain the defendants demurrer in a
suit brought by Jay Laverty, one member
Of the board. who, as a taxpayer. had pc
titioned to have Members Lott, Miller and
Schroeder. who are to retire soon. enjoined
from uniting two others with them and
taking action for next year. Defendants
attorney asked the demurrer on the ground
that the facts we're not sufficient to con
stitute a cause OF action, but the plain
tiff's attorney asserted that the retiring
members we're designing simply to take re-
venge upon those teachers who had APP
peared against them when they we're
charged with bribery some months ago.

WHY THERE WERE NO BOYS.
An Instance of Religious Intolerance
Common in this Country IL
Century Ago.

This story starts nearly one
hundred years ago. The characters
are two men, one mans sister, and
thirteen supers, says the New York
Post.
Both the men were ardently re-
ligious-and that meant much more
early in the last century than it does
now-but they were h~opelessly di-
vided as to q certain schism. The
young physician loved the sister of
the young minister. This love, being
returned by the sister, seemed to
grow in intensity as the arguments
with the brother became more bitter.
That which laughs at locksmiths
hardly could be expected to balk at
a little thing like the difference of
opinion between two men, although
each of the latter felt sure that the
point upon which they differed would
be the means of sending the other
to a land of perpetual fire and brim-
stone. 1t might be added that so re-
ligious were they that each privately
hoped his position would finally be
justified by such al outcome.
The marriage took place in the
good old way in spite of the brothers
protests. When the divine repaired
to his chamber that night he prayed:
"Oh, Lord! Give ear to the voice of
Thy humble servant and aid him with
Thy divine mower in this the hour of
his great sorrow. Grant Thou, o
Omniscient One, that no male child
shall ever bless the life of this couple.
Let their name become extinct upon
the face of Thy footstool."
The preacher was a righteous man,
! and his prayer was certainly fervent.
1t is also thought by some to have
availed, for no son vas born to that
couple, although the writer hereof
is the son of one of 10 daughters who
were the fruit of their marriage.

Woman in Important Post.

No woman occupies a more response
BILE position under the United States
government than Mrs. A. +. Brown,
who for many years has been the burnt
note expert of the treasury depart
ment. Her husband, through i'll
health, was incapacitated a score of
years ago, and the couple then left
their home in New York and went to
Washington, where Mrs. Brown at once
applied for a government position.
After a. great deal of persistence she
secured a position in the treasury and
was set to work counting ten-cent
notes, or "shin plasters," as the frac-
tional currency at that time issued was
known. These were received by the
wagon load, in all stages of delapida-
ton. Her first promotion came in a
year, when she was permitted to count
25-cent notes. After that as the years
went by she climbed steadily upward
to her present important post. So IA
miliar is she with United States cur
rency and that of the national banks
that she can put together charred
notes which no one else could tell from
n other sort of paper.-Chicago Rec
