Board Of Equalization is Busy with its
Work-WilI Finish next Week

The board Of equalization. composed
of H. R. Hovey, S. W. Bird and j. A.
Bohart, has spent the greater part Of
the week making a personal inspection
Of all property in the city. They have
listed each lot at what is considered
its fair actual value and with this da-
ta they will tackel the assessment roll
next week and will endeavor to equal
ize the taxes in way that every man
VIII pay his just share.
Many Of the valuations turned in
were ridiculously low, while the high
est averaged about fifty per cent of
actual value. If all property is placed
on the cash value basis, the total as
'sessment will be vastly increased and
it will be possible to reduce the per
cent levied on it.
The board will resume its sessions
Monday and will probably finish its
work in day or tvsa

ENGINEER WANTS BIG SLICE
Former superintendent of Sheridan
Coal Company Sues for Part
of Proceeds.

Stewart Kennedy, mechanical and min
Ing engineer of Pennsylvania, has brought
suit in the United States circuit court
AGAINST Charles N. Dietz OF Omaha for
100000 and interest at per cent from May
l. 1903.
The petition alleges that the plaintiff was
OF June l. 1898, employed by" G.. N. DietE
IS superintendent of the Sheridan Fuel
company, afterwards the Sheridan Coal
company, at Dietz. Wyo., at a salary OF
$50 per month; that his salary should in
crease in proportion to the increase of the
holdings of the Sheridan Coal company.
and that under this contract his compensa-
ton later was increased to 5000 a year.
November p. 1902. c. N. Dietz, then presi-
dent and principal owner OF the Sheridan
Coal company, acquired the entire hold
ings OF the company and May l. 1903,
sold the concern to other parties for $1,000
0OO
The plaintiff claims that It was through
his management that the property and Its
plant were made thus valuable; that a
fair compensation to him would be 10 pei
cent of the selling price OF the property

NO SUCH TRIBUNAL AS THAT
Court of Indian ofenses Pronounced
Bogus by Judge Trieber of
Arkansas.

A decision was received from Judge
Trieber in the United States circuit court
Tuesday afternoon which knocks out the
court of Indian offenses as established at
the Indian agencies and denies the jurisdic-
ton of such a court
The case grows out Of the arrest Of Will
liam Walker, an Omaha Indian, who was
arrested, convicted and imprisoned at the
agency prison for assault last April on
Little Girl Walker. He was sentenced to
Imprisonment by the court OF Indian CT
lenses. He was subsequently released on a
writ OF habeas corpus granted by Judge
Munger In November and the case was
tried before Judge Trieber, Thomas l..
Sloan appearing for Walker. in December.
Mr.. Sloan pleaded the nonjurisdiction Of
the court of Indian offenses. Judge Trieber
took the case under advisement and has
just given his decision which is an inn
portant one bearing upon Indian affairs.
The decision Is as follows:
The establishment OF a court exercising
power to impose a sentence of imprisonment
upon a person can only be done by an act
OF congress; or II done by the head OF a
department, by express authority Of con-
gress. This Is elementary and requires no
OF congress establishing such a court as
that which convicted the petitioner and SEN
fenced him to Imprisonment, his detention
is unlawful and absolutely void. For this
reason he Is entitled to his discharge and II
Is so ordered.

General Manager Smith of the Omaha q

tain changes should be made, nevertheless
1t will seek to comply with the transfer
ordinance passed by the council December

Mr.. Smith points out certain desired
changes in the letter. which states:
OMAHA, Jan. S.-Mr. L. b. johnson.
We have received copy of resolution OF

notwithstanding the fact that we are
which would protect the company against
passengers making round trip for one
fare and yet meet the requirements Of said
cluded to try and comply with the terms
OF this ordinance. We do not desire to
place our company in the attitude of vio-
lating any of the ordinances OF the city
Of Omaha, but prefer to trust to the city
council to correct any wrongs IL may have,
inadvertently, imposed upon our company,
rather than ask the protection of the
courts.
We cannot devise any system of trans
fers that will enable our conductors to
prevent passengers from making round
trips for one fare, unless passengers are
required to procure transfers when fare IS
paid, either In cash or by another transfer.
| We respectfully ask your honorable body

permit Of this reasonable regulation. This
provision is made in nearly every other city
In the country where transfers are given
and no serious inconvenience to the public
can be occasloned by its enforcement
! We further request that your honorable
body pass an ordinance making II a mis-
demeanor for passengers to procure trans
fers or use them in a manner that will
permit them to make round-trip or to
return to the same locality from starting
point for one fare.
We sincerely trust that these reasonable
requests will meet with your prompt ac-
ton and approval Very respectfully

DEFENDER OF DR.. ToRREY
Man at First Methodist Takes Excep-
lions to DIR. LOveIRnd's Inn
piled Criticism.

The revival at the First Methodist church
Tuesday evening was disturbed by a man
in the audience who took exception to a
remark made by the pastor, Rev. Frank
l.. Loveland. 1t was after DIR. McGurk of
Kansas City had preached that Rev. Mr..
Loveland made a few supplemental re-
marks He declared that there was a mis-
taken idea OF religion abroad in the world.
1T is not true, as we recently heard, that
a man may live all his life in the deepest
sin and then repent at the last moment and
occupy a high seat in heaven" declared
Rev. Mr.. Loveland.
"Dr. Torrey never said anything of the
kind" exclaimed an angry voice from the
audience. All eyes were turned toward the
center of the church where the speaker sat,
a man of dark complexion and So years
of age. The minister paused in surprise
and then as the man continued to scowl
angrlly, he said:
ct did not mention Dr. Torrey."
81 know you didn't mention him." was
the reply, but you have been digging and
pulling at him ever since he went away"
BY this time there was confusion in the
church and voices came from every part.
Put him out" a@I go ..t-.
Don't pay any attention to him."
Fortunately the minister remained calm
and proceeded with the service.
The affair caused much comment after
the services and one man, as he walked
away from the church with his wife, was
! heard to remark:
IT think Loveland has himself to blame
for this; he meant DIR. Torrey and he has
| been nagging at him ever since he was
| here and did such wonders of good"

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful It Il in
Preserving Health ana Beauty.
CosLs No. % Try.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most efficient dlsnfectant
and purifier in nature, but few realize its
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purposes.
Charcoal is remedy that the more you
take OF II the better. II is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present IN the stomach and
intestines and carries them out of the sys-
tenn.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal etfectually clears and improves
the complexion. II whitens the teeth and
further acts as natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which col
fect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disin-
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
OF catarrh. ..-,.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money Is in Stuart s
Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed OF
the finest powdered Willow charcoal and
other harmless antlseptics in tablet form
or rather in the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will soon
tell in much improved condition of the

COAL SHORTAGE AT AN EN-
Union Pacific Ready to Ship Fuel, but
There is Little Demand.
SHIPPERS FAIL TO UNDERSTAND RULE
Bill COnsignments by One Route and
Expect to Get Rate Made
for Shipments by
Another.
SHIPPERS FAIL TO UNDERSTAND RUl

That no serious coal shortage exists along
the line of the Union Pacific was made
manifest during the last week by n
transaction made by Superintendent Park
of tho Union Pacific. He bought twenty
eight cars of screened lump coal last FRI
day and Immediately notified dealers along
the line he was able to supply them with
coal when needed. Although nearly week
has elapsed he has disposed OF but twelve
of the ears and still has the others for any
dealers who may need them. This bears
out the assertion of the railroads that no
real shortage exists and that they have
been able TO care for all cases. where there
was danger Of a shortage.
Railroad freight officials are continually
being harassed by shippers. who cannot
realize that when the sum of the locals Is
the lowest rate the shipment has to be
billed to the point on which the sum OF the
locals is made to get that rate. There Is
no other way around 1t. The rate will not
| apply via any other junction than the one
| on which the rate is made Shippers not
following this rule cannot realize why the
railroads cannot give them the benefit of
the lower rate when they bill by another
route.
| In a personal letter to General Passenger
Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific, General
Agent Booth OF San Francisco bears out
the statement already made that the streets
of the city are nearly cleaned of debris
and it is estimated that almost half of the
debris has been removed from the lots.
During the last year the battleships Cali
fornia" and milwaukee," have been COM
pleted and have shown great speed in their
trials.
The Southern Pacific has purchased about
300 acres OF land near Third and Townsend
