Cessful-in 1890, when he was elected to
congress. He said he thought 1t unpleasant
to have personalities in political fights and
that each time he had run for office his
opponents had been men OF integrity.
And l am glad that in the present cam
pa gn my opponent. Judge Taft, is man
Of honesty, integrity and high character"
he continued, sentiment which drew pro-
lunged applause.
He pronounced an eulogy on John A.
Creighton, saying he was one OF the rich
men who had never felt that his pos
sessions would be Jeopardized by Bryan in
the white house.
There are more of this class with us
today than there were then" he said, "and
the application Of democratic principles in
government will give us a still greater
number"
Mr.. Bryan spoke only half an hour. Gill

here today was not attended by any offic, al
ceremony.
1t is announced as certain that the Amer
lean car IN the New York-to- Paris race
will be adjudged the winner owing to the

Councilman Opposes Diverting Fund
to Pay Bonds.
NO v1ADUCT OR ENGINE HOUSE
Councilman McGovern's Plans fol
Spending Cash Get Shock.
SCHOOL LEVY AT FOURTEEN
Estimated Resources Three Hundred
and Four Thousand Dollars, Ex-
pcnditures six Hundred and
Fifty-FOur Thousand.

Taxes in Omaha will be a trifle lower
the coming year than IL the past. This Will
result from the action of the city council
IN session as committee Of the whole Mon
day afternoon.
Last Tuesday evening the council decided
to place the levy for next year at Rli5O,OO0,
the same as at present. Monday afternoon
Councilman Zimman brought the matter up
again and succeeded in getting 1t reduced
to $1,1OO,O ,OOO $4,000 OF which is for the gem
eral fund and $4,000 for the sinking fund.
Mr.. Zimman contended that It was not fair
to tax the people for a greater amount than
was necessary and to divert the funds to
the payment of bonds. He advocates
change in the charter where the levy Of
tax for fund to pay off the Indebtedness
will become mandatory.
Councilman McGovern's ordinance for
vladuct five blocks long on Nicholas street
was laid on the table ard all bids for a
site for fire engine house at Tewtny-third
street and Ames avenue were rejected on
the ground that there are not sufficient
funds with which to equip the houses now
built to say nothing about building any new
ones.
Fourteen Mills for schools.
Fourteen mills tax on the dollar will be
levied by the Board OF Education for the
1903 fiscal year. This schedule was adopted
by the board in special session Monday
noon and the demand was ordered sent to
the city council for its approval. The levy
is II mill less than 1905 despite the fact
that heavy interest rates will have TO be
paid on the large bond issue.
The board estimates its probable re-
sources at $SO4,OOO probable expenditures
at $654,OOO, therefore the 14-mll levy is
made TO raise the $35OOoO necessary. THIS
money will be used for the support OF the
schools. for the purchase of school sites
and the erection and furnishing of school
buildings. for the payment of interest upon
all bonds issued for school purposes and
for the creation OF a sinking fund for the
payment of Indebtedness.
The probable resources for the ensuing
