Immediately on the conclusion of

yesterday afternoon.
Fine Background for Baskets
The name and picture of Taft are
everywhere mingled in decorations with
the national colors. This scheme gives
the necessary weight to firm an eX-
cellent background for the hanging
baskets of ferns and greenery that will
be hung Monday morning by the dec-
Grating committees assistants. Dec
orators of experience declare the whole
effect will be a most pleasing one and
that the plan of the committee to use
only simple means of decorating will
result in a singularly beautiful en-
semble Merchants who have not done
so are urged to deck their store fronts
with bunting today or Monday morn
ing that the three principal streets and
at least part of Hill street may be a
mass of greenery and color to greet the
eye of the chief executive.
From the first it has been the aim Of
the executive committee and its sub
committees to make the whole two-day
program different from any others of
fered the president. The total sum of
money to be raised by the sale of ban
quet tickets-$20,000 was considered
attractive program for the presidents
pleasure and the committee has en-
deavored to spend it in channels a little
out of the ordinary.
Trip to San Pedro Novel
For instance, the trip to San Pedro
and the launch rides about the harbor
while the guns of the revenue cutter
McCulloch boom continued salutes will
be different from anything the presi-
dent has enjoyed on his transcontinen-
tai trip.
The automobile parade will be more
or less an old story to him, but the
scenes along the route-the school chill
dren banked on the curbs, tiers of
Chinese in their native costumes at the
Plaza. the flower bedecked streets and
the green lawns and handsome homes
in the outlying districts will be un-
usual in such an excursion as that OF
the presidential party.
The banquet will be strictly out of

BOY FINDS $500;
REFUSES REWARD
RETURNS SACK OF GOLD COINS
HE FOUND
WASHERWoMAN LOSES HER
SAVINGS OF LIFETIME
Finder Sees Advertisement in Herald
and Returns Money-DecIlnes to
Accept Compensation for
His Honesty

rs this the place where lost and
found articles are reported?" inquired
Joseph Sturn, II years old, of 1858
South Main street, of Detective James
Hosick at the central police station
yesterday.
1T is" replied Hosick. What have
you lost?"
Il haven't lost anything. l found a
sack containing nearly $500 and l read
in The Herald it was lost several days
ago and l want to return it to the
owner"
The money in question was lost hy
Mrs. Bridget O'Reilly, an aged washer
woman, and represents the savings of
a lifetime. Mrs. O'Reilly had been
working at Sherman when she OBJ
tanned a better place in Los Angeles
and came here and took rooms at 23S
East Fifth street. Shortly after her
arrival, while on her way from Fourth
and Hill streets to Fourth and San
Pedro streets, she lost the money,
which consists of gold coins wrapped
up in an old cotton sack and tied many
times with common twine.
The old woman, almost frantic with
grief over losing her savings repre-
senting years of toll, reported the mat
ter to the police. They told her they
would do what they could to find the
money and advised ; er to advertise in
the papers.
Young Sturn while on his way home
saw what appeared to be a bundle
of rags lying on the pavement at
Fourth and Main streets. He kicked
it and heard a metallic ring. He then
picked it up and on his arrival at his
home discovered the sack was filled
with gold coins.
He watched the lost and found col
umns of The Herald, and when he
saw the add inserted by Mrs. O'Reilly
took the money to the detective head
quarters at the central police station
to be given to the woman.
II do not desire any reward" stated
the young man to the detective as he
was leaving the station.

Than Seven Million Dollars,
an Increase of TWO
Million

Everything is in readiness at the
county tax collectors office for the. big
rush Of taxpayers that is expected to
take place Monday, the first day on

Accurate figures showing the assess

46.6S, which is about $2,000,000 above
the charge against the collector last
year. OF this total $4,234 995.61 repre-
Sents the amount that must be raised
for state and county taxes at the 30
cent rate fixed by the board of super
yisors. This rate is a reduction of 10
cents from the rate in effect last year
this reduction being made to lessen Ill
part the burdens placed on the taXpay-
ers by the state board.
The original valuation of property in
the county, as fixed before the state
hoard gave out it's figures, was $500,
COZ $50, or $165, 5,477,341 less than the state
boards valuation.
The 81. 236. .S46.6S that must be collect
ed bv the tax collector, or for which
an accounting must be rendered, is dl-
vided as follows:

Names Added to Committee
Several members were added to the
reception committee yesterday. To the
general reception committee the names
of Judge w. H. Jamison, S. J. Whit
more, DR.. c. W. Pierce, Edward Stras-
burg William Mulholland, c. c. Des-
mond and William w. Woods We're
added, and to the banquet reception
committee that of T. r. Lamb.
Former Governor H. H. Markham,
member of the board of control of the
Soldiers home, and Gen. o. H. Le-
Grange called at the headquarters OF
the executive committee in the Cham
ber of Commerce building yesterday to
ask that the original plan of having
the president speak to the veterans
from the steps of the great mess house
(where President Mckinley stood when
he visited the home) be abandoned, and
that instead the speech be delivered
from the porch of the library building,
400 feet away.
President Willis II. Booth refused to
approve such plan on his own respon-
sibility, saying it entailed a walk for
the presidential party of the distance
stated and that such a change would
probably be vetoed by the secret SER
vice OFFICIALS. The matter was passed
up to United States Secret Service
Agent Hazen of the Los Angeles office,
but he also refused to act, and it Is
probable the original plan will be fol-
lowed at the home.

smallness.
Leave It to the law. That is your

Greeks will be speakers.
According to Mandanis there are
about 5000 Greeks residing In Omaha

terday. Every train Is carrying a large
number away.

packing plants where they are EN-
ployed.
