While they were assessed at Is per cent Of
the total assessment of the state, as shown
by the auditors report for 1902, and prac-
iicaly paid IS per cent of all the state
aud county taxes, paid for municipal pur-
oueea only 90 per cent of taxes so paid.
'''rhc reason for this is apparent The
valuable railroad properties located within

under the present system, along the entire

consequently the railroads escape 80 per

Example of Unfairness.
"a splendid example of the iniquity and
unfairness of the old system has just oc-
CURED. Recently the Northwestern system
purchased three blocks of ground in
Omaha at cost approxlmating $4,000.
Prior to this time this entire property, in
addition to its state, county and school
district taxes. paid a municipal tax like
other local property on its entire valua-
ton. Now. granting that the State Board
OF Equalization will increase the total val
uation OF that part of the Northwestern
system which purchased this property by
the price paid for Il. the amount of taxes
contributed by this property for the state,
county and school district purposes will
probably approximate the amount hereto
fore contributed. but the amount OF taxes
contributed for municipal purposes will be
reduced 80 per cent, as 1t will be spread
over the entire line.
This Is not a complaint OF Omaha alone
but every city and village in the state in
which the railroads have sidetracks and
depots receives less taxes for municipal
purposes from the railroads than II II
taxed their fixed property within theiI
boundaries like local property ard per.

McMuIIen Loses Fight.
Though MeMullen fought vigorously for
the adoption OF his resolution giving au-
thority to the elections committee to draft
primary bill, the house this morning
overruled him and delegated the authority
to Speaker Nettleton to name this COM
mittee as well as the other committees
to which has been delegated authority to
get up platform measures in accordance
with the resolutions introduced yesterday.
The speaker will name the four committees
In the morning.
Among the important bills introduced
was a joint resolution by Sackett of Gage,
memorializing congress to enact law to
prevent railroads from enjoining the col
lection of their taxes in the federal courts
until after the taxes had been paid when
suit to recover may be instituted. 1t is
in line with the Lee amendment to the
state constitution. Among the other i'm
portant measures in the house was bridge
bill, permitting county boards to reject all
bids and buy lumber and build their own
bridges; bills in both house and senate
compelling those who practice Christian
Science to undergo an examination before
the State Board of Health and a bill by
Armstrong in the house to repeal the wolf
bounty law.
The stamp act" again came up this
morning when Speaker Nettleton announced
a requlsition had been made for stamps
and the answer received was to the effect
that when an appropriation had been made
to pay for them the stamps would be
forthcoming. Until bill has been intro
duced and passed no stamps will be fur
nished the members. The house voted
down a motion TO adjourn tomorrow until

IS IT BUCK?
Mooted Question Of Prisoners Identity
Awaits Solution.

A little furore was created here the
latter part of last week by the an
nouncement that Judge Muse, negro
sent up from Justice Gatlin's court
on charge of illicit cohabitation,
was the negro Buck Muse who killed
Jackson near independence
several years ago.
Owing to the fact that several years
has elapsed since the crime was COM
mitted, and the negro, Buck, was
then hardly grown, it is extremely
difficult to find anyone whose word
could absolutely be depended upon to
identify him. Several negroes have
said positively that he was Buck,
several more have said that they were
uncertain and Others say that the
prisoner is Bucks brother. This is
what the negro himself says, but can
not be induced to talk freely.
One thing is said to be certain, and
that is that the negro is wanted for
some crime, and the officers will at
tempt to investigate his record fur
ther.

that these experiences were of his
own making.
All of us meet with occasional blows
from fate in the form of insults or in
gratitude or trickery from an unex-
pected source.
But if we get nothing else but those
disappointed experiences from life we
may rest assured the fault lies some
where in ourselves.
We are not sending out the right
kind of mutual stuff, or we would get
better returns.
You meyer can tell what your thoughts will
In bringing you hate or love.
For thoughts are things and their airy wings
Are swift as carrier dove.
They follow the law of the universe
Each thing must create its kind
And they speed DER the track to bring you
back.
Whatever went out from your mind.
In the main we must of necessity
get from humanity what we gave to
it. If we question our ability to win
friends or love, people will also ques-
tion it.
If we doubt our own judgment and
discretion in business, others will
doubt it, and the shrewd and unprin-
cipled will take the opportunity given
by our doubts of ourselves to spring
upon us.-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

The ultimate effect Of the passing of
William Duffy's BIZ would be to place
the Clanricarde estates on the market,
to be sold to the tenants under the

be handed to the marquis, but he would
be practically banished from Ireland
and prohibited from holding any prop

That would be an extraordinary con-

Ireland-the Burkes; whose women in

yet dashed bitterly by tongues of
commoners in open parliament;
of ancestry the most noble, the old
est and grandest in Erln's isle yet de-
ciared the most hated of Irish land
lords. That is the position today of the
Marquis of Canricarde.
As the cables told at the time VIII
liam Duffy, M. y. for South Galway, re-
Gently brought IN bill in the house Of
commons ITO provide for the expropria-
ton of the Marquis OF Clanricarde from
his Irish estntes." Mr.. Duffy declared
the marquis had been in Ireland but
once in his life-to attend the funeral
of his father. over 40 years ago. The
marquis, he said, was phenomenon;
a curse to his country; cold, callous
and hard-hearted landlord with a ca
reer more distinguished by misery,
wretchedness and bloodlness than even
Oliver Cromwell's.
HE has evicted by force $50 families,
went on Lord Clanricarde's accuser.
His estates of $4,000 acres in Galway
are blighted with his wanton cruelty.
He is the most hated, the most anathe-
matized of Irish landlords. The people
of his district are in n state of insur-
rection bordering on war, and it is time
for the government to take action
And Mr.. Duffy quoted the former
prime minister, Mr. Balfour, as saying:
Lord Clanricarde is the classical type
of the absentee landlord. The only
way to deal with his case is to bring
in a bill specifically TO deal with him."
AGREED WITH DUFFY.
Sir Henry pbell-Bannerman the
prime minister. in a speech which was
punctured by bursts OF cheering from
the entire house of commons, agreed
with Mr.. Duffy and the irish party.
He declared that there was no justifica-
ton for Lord Clanricarde's actions and
attitude, He strongly condemned the
nobleman. But he regretted that par
lament had too much work on hani 10
pass such bill this session. The gov.
ernment, however, agreed TO accept the
bill for future consideration. on q vote
being taken only three members, all
Orangemen from the North of Ireland
voted in favor of the marquis. The
