A decision In tho case of Henderson versus
tho City of South Omaha has Just beon
handed down by tho stnto supremo court
and by Iho terms of this decision a debt of
at least $70,000 hus boon saddled on to tbo
taxpayers. Some tlmo ago about sixty
property owners on Twenty-fourth street
bunded together nnd employed Attorneys
Murdock and Hock to fight the Twenty
fourth street paving cabo in tho courts. A
stipulation was niuilo that the decision In
hu Henderson en ho should carry all tho
othors with It, n tho testimony was Identi
cal. Tho supremo court has held that tho
levy of the special tax to pay for the pav
ing and curbing of Twenty-fourth street
was absolutely Illegal. This lets out tho
property owners and prevents the city from
collecting uny moro of tho tax. Whllo tho
pxnet figures aro not known at this time, it
Is estlmnted that thero Is at least $70,000 of
this tax unpaid at this time. Those who
Iiuvh paid will have to commence individual
suits against tho city if they want to get
their money back.
As tho original levy was Illegal the out
standing bonds cannot be refunded, and
moro thon likely It will bo necessary to call
a epecl.il election for tho purpose of voting
general Indebtedness bonds to take up the
bonds now outstanding. This Is ono of tho
lmiiortant matters which will soon havo to
bo considered by tho Incoming council.

school district tho treasurer must give a
bond of J.Mi.000. Tho city clerk gives a
bond of $1,000 and tho chief of police ono

Tho origin of tho (Ire Is a mystery, as no

N. Mcrrlam, the proprietor, was of tho
opinion that $1,000 would bo nmplo to cover
the lots, which is fully Insured.
Nearly all tho oicupants had retired, and
those nearest tbo flro wero awakened by Its
loud, crackling sound. Cries of "fire" filled
tho nlr nnd a panic ensued among tho
femlnlno guests. As none of them wero
occupying rooms near tbo fire they had no
dlfllrulty In retiring from the building in
j fairly good order, nnd tho sldewnlks and
porches wero soon covered with women In
various stages of deshabille. As a result
of overwrought nerves some laughed hys-
tericony, wuiio otliers wept bitterly, and
confusion reigned for a few minutes. The
flames roso high In tho nlr for somo see-
onds, causing dwellers in neighboring houses
j to entertain ungrounded fears for their own

voatlgatlon after the fire, but was unable

under tho auspices of the Students1 Library
association. Kev. M. I. Howling, S. J., pnsl-
dent of the Institution, lectured upon the
subject, "Catholic Laymen In tho Amerl.an
Republic." There was an appropriate
musical program furnished by tho Teinplo
quartet. Tho entire seating capacity of the
ball was occupied.
"It Is tho right and tho duty of tho laity
to toko a part lu all work in connection
with the church," said Father Howling, -to
tho advancement of Christianity nnd nil
philanthropic enterprises of the day. Hut
what is tbo sphero of lay activity? It is
tho first duty of a general to get tho best
maps possible of tho sent of war, pointing
out tho strength nnd disposition of tho
enemy. So must the layman proceed; ho
must study his maps, recounoltcr, get his
beatings. Do not tako for granted that
everything that ought to bo done Is done
by others. See to it yourselves,
, "Catholic Inymcn can do a great deal by
protesting against slander nnd olTenses
against morality as often seen In tho dully
press. When such an article or advertise-
tnent Is brought to your attention, write a
letter to tho editor protesting ngalnst It.
Develop tho gentle art of dissent in these
matters.
j "Then thero Is the field of charity. Surely
in this tho laity should bo at home, but
I they must work systematically. Intelligently
nnd In concert. There Is no need of looking
f0r objects In such work as this. Thero Is
a Iazarus nt every door."
As other spheres of lay activity tho
speaker suggested that they work to prevent
tho spread of Immoral literature, to prevent
tho mistreatment of children, and to foster
Industrial schools. Such efforts as thee,
he said, In tho early days, wrought tho over
throw of paganism.

WASTE OF RELIGIOUS ZEAL

ConrusliiK Multiplicity of llls(
IllIT Cliurelies.
On tho subject, "The Church and Denomi
nations," Rev. J. IJdwnrd Rellly, rector of
St. Mathias' church, nddreised an audience
Thursday evening that (Hied the lecture
room of Trinity cathedral. Upon the pre
mise that Christ founded a church against
which tho gates of hell shall not prevail,
rather than churches, he held that scripture
proves that the four cardinal marks of that
their various foundations and pointed out
wherein they wero lacking In the essential
marks of tho authenticated church of Christ.
In handling tho various denominations he
commended tho zeal and earnestness of their
i adherents, nnd in closing pointed out the
necessity of unity of action in the Chris
tianizing of tho world. Tho seeker after
truth today is confused by the contending
claims of church organizations, and the
latter aro laboring along uudcr burdens of
debt that aro unnecessary and weakening,
simply because tho variety of organizations
carries the necessity of maintaining numcr-
ous establishments In towns and villages
wherein ono should do tho-work. In urging
tho necessity of one church or "the church"
ho also urged tho necessity of concessions
tho part of the various church organlza-
tlonB and the yielding of nil claims except
foundation principles of the church of
Christ.
