The Re.t Remedy for Croup.

(From the Atchison (Kan) Daily Globe. }
This is the season when the woman who
knows the best remedies for Group is in
demand in every neighborhood. One of the
most terrible things in the world is to
be awakened IN the middle of the night
by whoop from one of the children. The
Group remedies are almost as sure to be
lost, in case of Group, as a revolver is sure
to be lost in case Of burglars. Geese are
not very good to eat, but they are in great
demand because of their grease, which is
good to put on a cloth and tie around the
neck Of croupy patients. Jewish families
nearly always have goose grease on hand.
Most children, when they have Group, re-
'use to take the remedies offered them.
he only thing to do is to hold their noses
and make them take 1t. There used to be
an old-fashioned remedy for Group, known
as hive syrup and tolu, but some mod
ern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much. II causes the patient to throw up
the phlegm" quicker. and gives relief in a
shorter time.

TAX ON STREET RAILWAY
Efforts Of Omaha Company to Hoodwink
state Legislature,
DEFEATED BUT STILL FIGHTING ITS CASE
y. ID. wend Talks of His visit "a
the legislature and the show
ing Made to the
Members.

F. d. wead returned yesterday from Lin
coin, where he went Wednesday to con-
suit with Legislators on the question Of the
assessment Of public service corporations.
Before he arrived the amendment which
was to have changed the basis Of assess
ment Of the street car companys property
and the telephone property had been de-
feated, but II is believed that an effort
will be made to pass them at some other
time
Mr.. Wead says: THE grossest misrep-
resentations are made by the champions OF
the street car company before the legis-
lature. 1t was claimed by them before
the amendment was defeated that the
actual value Of the personal property Of
the company in the city Of Omaha-what
it would cost to replace the tangible prop
erty-is between S3,OOO,OOO and $4,000, 900,
but when the tangible property was as
sessed by the city on returns made by the
company's officials there was no such show
Ing. Last year the company made return
OF only S1,00O,OOO on tangible property. The
taxes on personal property paid by the
company in different years since 1891 are
as follows.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-13

THE last two years the value Of the
property was estimated upon the value Of
the stocks and bonds, following the rule OF
Judge Brewer who held that the value Of
property for income and investment is it's
correct value for taxation, and the result
Is that the tax more than doubled between
1901 and 1902, the tangible property being
the basis of assessment previous to 1902
But representatives of the company have
succeeded in clouding the issue so that
many persons who are undoubtedly honest
In their intentions have been misled, al
though they had not the power to carry
their point yesterday"
The tax committee and the subcommittee
of the committee of ten were arranging
Thursday for delegations to visit vari-
Gus parts OF the state to show the people
in the cities how the railroads are escaping
their Just proportion of the burden of mu-
nicipal government. and a number of these
delegations left yesterday. BY send
ing out these delegations 1t is expected
to show TO the people of the state that the
bill known as H. R. $50 is not intended to
be beneficial to Omaha at the expense OF
the other parts of the state, and to secure
cooperation for its passage when it is up
in the senate.

TESTING THE TOBACCO LAW
Dealer stein, Fined in Police Court
Appeals Case and Moves
to Dismiss.

William Stein of Fortieth and Hamilton
streets, who was fined $25 by Judge Berka
for selling 5-cent package OF smoking to-
bacco to James Coston, under Is years Of
age, appealed to the district court, and his
attorney filed a motion to quash the COM
plant "for the reason that there is no law
OF the state on which said complaint can
be based" This motion was argued by
STEMS lawyer and City Prosecutor Thomas
yesterday afternoon to Judge Esteile. The
defendants contention is that the old law of
1885. which forbade selling or furnishing to
minors "any cigarette or cigarettes or to-
bacco In any OF its FORMS" was repealed by
the amendment of 1897 which forbids sim
ply the selling or furnishing Of "any cigar
cite or cigarette paper in any form what
ever"
