Frank MenCh, Ex-ConViCt, Dies
With Heart Failure
SHOT BROTHER FROM BEHIND
Scolded for Drug Habit Murder

ly Manner

| Frank Mench, an ex-convict, 40
years of age, employed as a swamper
two years was found dead in the rear
of the Elk saloon at 124 West Main
street by Captain of Police Davis
shortly before noon today.
| Mench was found lying on the side
walk by one of the night police last
night. He complained of feeling i'll
! and the officer took him into the sa-
loon and left him there. Mench spent
the night in chair. This morning ra-
rangemenis were made with L. L.
Hunt TO take Mench to the county
poor farm.

Hunt was late in coming up town
J and Mench was allowed to remain in
the saloon. Shortly before noon one

tced that Mench had slipped from
his chair on to the floor. Suspecting
that he was in serious condition
Captain Davis was telephoned for.
The officer found Mench dead and the
coroner was notified Following an in
vestigation Coroner Cookery decided
an inquest was unnecessary as it was
apparent the man had died of heart
trouble, or kindred complaints,
brought on by the excessive use OF
morphine and whisky.
The body was removed to Macmar-
tin & Companys undertaking parlors.
Mench has no relatives as far as Is
known and he will probably be buried
at the county's expense.
Cold Blooded Murder.
"Mench killed his brother in Pierce
county and served 17-year sentence
in the penitentiary," asid Captain Da-
Wis this afternoon. HE was released
from the penitentiary about two
years ago and since then eked out an

dope fiend and drank heavily when
ever he had money!

Admitting Away His Case.
(World-H }

Attorney General Brown, ad-
dressing the State Historical So
ciety on railroad taxation in Ne
braska the other day, brought out
some interesting facts. Among
other things he showed conclusive
ly-though he did not intend it
that the state board of equalization
and assessment has undervalued
instead Of overvalued railroad
property.
He took the case of the Union
Pacific railroad company and made
this showing:
That the board found it's physi-
cal property alone to be worth
$4,000 mile.
That the market value of it's
stocks and bonds showed it to be
worth 100000 a mile.
That it's value, based on a CAPT.
talization of it's earnings at 6 per
cent, was $4,000 mile in Ne
braska, and $4,000 mile for the
entire system.
Finally, that the board valued it
for purposes of taxation in Ne
braska, at $50, 900 a mile-but little
more than half it's market value
and little more than half it's earn
ing capacity. The road was then
assessed at 20 per cent of So, 900,
or ST., 900 a mile, and on this as
sessment has refused to pay it's
taxes!
Will Mr.. Brown explain, or
will any member of the state board
explain, why, since it was shown
that, according to what Mr.. Brown
himself admits to be the two most
accurate tests and measures of
railroad value, the road was worth
approximately 100000 a mile, it
was not valued at it's real value, as
the law requiresl
Will Mr.. Brown or some mem
Der of the board explain why rail
road property was valued at 81
per cent of it's actual value when
farm and business property, as
taxpayers know, is valued at any
where from so to 100 per cent.
The great trouble with republi-
can reform in Nebraska is that il
is all talk and no busisess.
The democratic state platform OF
1902 declared for the stocks and
bonds method of assessing railroad
property. Mr.. Brown himself
admits, and cites the United States
supreme court to sustain him, that
no fairer method could be devised.
Mr.. Brown and the other mem.
bers of the present state admins.
tration stand on the democratic
platform only when it comes to
making speeches calculated for
popular consumption.
When it comes to assessing rail
road property, however, they
stand on railroad platform and
take advantage of every loop-hole
to be found in the railroad-dictated
revenue law that will permit a
gross differentiation of railroad
property.

"Dave" Martins Warning.
(World- Herald.)


The republican party has been
warned in time. If it now goes
down to ruin and oblivion it won't
be the fault of Dave" Martin of
Philadelphia.
Dave has viewed with alarm
the recent efforts of a few stray
Cling republican "reformers' to
make their party better thai it's
principles. And he has quite
logically concluded that if the ef-
fort succeeds it will be all day with
the republican party. Listen to
his voice:
| will make one prediction, that if
this thing is keep up, we will have a
democratic congress and democratic
president. If they start to knock out
men like Cox of Cincinnati and Odell
of New York-men who have made
repu bliCan majorities-the next thing
will be a democrat in the White
House.
Excuse US while we shudder!
The prospect is almost too horrible.
There is sooth in what Dave"
says, too. We can Judge of the
future by the past.
Suppose there had been no me n
like Cox and Odell and Hanna on
deck in 1896. Suppose the repub-
lican party had been compelled to
rely merely on the justice Of its
cause. Suppose it could not have
used millions Of money-mostly
the property of the people who
didn't contribute it-and "infu-
ence" and bulldozing and blocks
of five and other pet methods to
save the national honor" Would
the national honor" have been
saved? On the contrary it would
have been lost, as every well-in-
formed man knows, and Bryan
would have sat in the White house.
And who is there to doubt, that
if the protected, favored, coddled
and financial interests should be
deprived of machine politicians
and unscrupulous bosses to be used
in defeating and DETECTING the will
of the electorate. they would fail
in 1908 to induce the American
voter to consent to a continuance
of the policy of extending special
favors to special classess
Mr.. Dave Martin may take
comfort in the thought, however,
that the republican senate of the
reformed legislature of New York
has recorded vote of renewed
confidence in Chauncey Depew.
The republican president has said
''Well done, good and faithful
servant to David e. Thompson
of Nebraska. The Fairbanks fac
ton is triumphing in Indiana and
the Hopkins faction in Illinois.
La Toilette is ostracized in the SEN
ate, and Cummins is engaged in a
desperate fight to hold his own in
Iowa. The day is not yet lost.
Dawes" card of admission to the
inner republican councils has not
yet been Cancelled.
The gloomiest thought of all,
however, is the growing probable
ity of democrat in the White
house, even though the corruption
lists should retain their hold on the
dominant party. That is con-
tingency too dreadful to contem-
plate, and out of kindness we will
desist,
