UM Main dL, Council Oluttn,
ViitliorltlcH Arc Hampered In ihr Mai
ler liy liisiilllclenl Appropriations
Mil) or Mixy Mnl' Three
Appointments.
Tho number of men at present on the
police force Is deemed entirely Insufficient
for tho proper protection of the city und
Chief Albro li anxious that it bo recruited
to Its full strength. Heretofore tho force
has consisted goncrally of nwenty meu all
told, while at present, Including the chief
and patrol driver, there arc only sixteen
on the pay roll. On tho day force there
aro only three patrolmen, whllo at nllt
the entire city has to be covertd by four
officers.
The force, as It Is at prudent, consists of
one chief, ono nlfjlit captain, ono day desk
sergeant, one deputy city marshal, two de
tectives, two Jailors, one or day and ono
for night; one patrol driver md seven pa
trolmen, three on day beats nnd four ou
the night force. Unless Mayor Jennings
makes somn new appointments, tho number
of men will be still further reduced, as
Patrol Driver Doty has scui In his resigna
tion and Is anxious to he rrtlcved as uoou
as possible.
Tho desk of the sergeants and tbe tclo
phono equipment was moved yuBtorday
from tho room over tho patrol house to the
Jail otllco, and by this arrangement It la
expected that n regular p.strol driver can
be dispensed with. The day nnd night
Jailers will act as patrol drivers when
needod and tho day und nlfiht sergeants
can act. ns Jailers while the reguUr Jailers
aro out with tho patrol wegon. Ily this
arrangement, If Mayor Jcnulugs fills the
vacancy caused by D.My'a resignation, an
oxtra man can be detailed tor patrol duty
nt night. Since the resignation of Night
Sergeant Bergman, Night Captain Denny
has been holding down tho icsk, attending
to tho telephone calls and ,;ther work In
the ofllce. Ileforo this Captain Denny
could bo relied upon ns an extra man In
caBo of nn emergency call, but under tho
present arrangement in cute a call conies
over the telephone for an ofllcer nono can
bo sent until one of the men on the beats
can bo communicated with.
Deputy City Marshal White, while a mem
ber of tho force, cannot be relied upon for
police work, as his entire tlmo Is taken
up serving health and othr notices and
attending the sessions of tho superior court
as bailiff. This practically reduces the
police force to fifteen men, Including the
chief, tho greater part of whoso tlmo la
occupied with offico work, nnd when Doty
leaves tho force will be further decreased
to fourteen men.
Chief Albro sayH four men are not sufll
clent to properly care for tne city nt night.
Tho residence portions nro left, as a inattor
of necessity, without police protection, nnd
ho says that It Is a wonder that thoro are not
more burglaries and hold-ups than there
aro. Tho four men on tho night force aro
nil needed to patrol tho huslncss streets
of tho city and thus tho rmfdenco portions
havo to go without police protection.
Mayor Jennings, whcii as-ed what he In
tended doing, stated that he had not nulto
fully decided. Ho realized, Vto said, that the
police force ought to be Increased In order
to glvo tho citizens proper protection, but
tho question was u dilllcult ono to solve, In
tho faco of the reduced appropriations. Ho
thought, however, that at tho next meeting
of tho city council he weufd submit two
or 'possibly throe now appointments to tho
force.
The force, as It stands at present, Is
composed as follows: Chief, Sam Alhro;
night captain, Dick Denny; day sergeant,
Arthur Slack; tloputy city marshal, Charles
White; detectives. Dan Wolr and Charles
Claar; day Jailer, Harry James; night
Jailer, C. Chrlstenscn; ' pa:rol driver. J.
Doty; day patrolmen, Oeorge Wilson, John
Smith and N. Swanson; night patrolmen, lid
Smith, F. Walklngton, J. Larklns and
Thomas Callaghan.

Among the marrlnge licenses lssufcd by
Clerk Heed of tho district court on February
21 was one to A. C. Clark, aged 3fi, nnd Mm.
Eliza nrooddffl, aged -10, both of Omaha.
Tho afternoon of the mine day, Clark ap
peared In Justice Vlen's ofllce and m.ido
arrangements for him to perform tho cere
mony that evening. According to his prom
ise, Justice Vlen was at his ofllce nt the
tlmo appointed, but neither groom nor bride
put In nppenranco and nfter waiting for
nn hour Justice Vlen went home. Tho
record In tho marriage register at the court
house still lacks the certificate of marriage.
Yesterday afternoon Clark presented him
self nt the clerk'n ofllce and throwing down
tho license nnd the gaudy lithographed cer
tlflcato ho hnd purchased on February 21.
demanded that his money bo refunded him.
"I drn't want this license any nioro and
I want my J2 back," ho said.
Clerk Heed explained to him that the
county did not do business In that way and
that he had no authority to roturn him his
monoy.
"Hut they do It In Nebrnska," Clark said.
"I got a license there myself nid took it
back when I decided to get ono hero and
they gave me back my money all right nnd
I want you to do the same."
Tho clerk informed Clark that tho county
did not deal in wcond-hand marriage cer
tificates, hut that possibly he might be
oblo to dlsposo of It to ono of tho many
Junk dealers In town.
"Well, I don't want this license, tho
woman bneked out of marrying me and I
don't want tho records hero to show Hint
I am married to her. I don't want no records
to show that I am a married man when I
am not, Tho woman changed her mind after
I had arranged everything and got the li
cense and nrrangod with tbe Justice of the
peace to marry us."
Clarkfolt better satisfied when Mr. need
told him the records did not show that he
had been married, as they lacked tho cer
tificate of tho Justice of the peace or the
minister. Hp explained thnt they merely
showed that a license had been issuetl to
him.
"Well, supposing I get some other woman
to marry me, will this license do? Will
you change tho namo so that I cm ue It?"
Clerk Heed told him he would und this
seemed to satisfy the man.

nally thero as $25,000 worth of guarantee

Tho stnto treasurer this morning rccelyed
$5,810 collateral Inheritance tnx from tho
lese eetnto Hi Scott county nnd $!i00 from
the Heldrlch tstnte In Jones county, in
tho Inst week the treasurer has learned of
the liability of several big estates. The
treasurer Is now notifying attorneys nnd
representatives of estates liable for tho In
heritance tax of the provisions of the re
cent net passed by the legislature. Section
1 of the iict defines tho "debts" that may bo
deducted. All estates now In tho course of
settlement nnd hereafter found to be liable
for tho tax may deduct only tho debts duo
rrom tne estnte prior to i s death, ronson-
nblo sums for funeral expenses, court costs
and tho fcqs of executors nnd administrators
and nothing else, Whatsoever. These debts
must bo deducted or nllowed by tho court
within fifteen months from the date of death
of the decedent. Ily the terms of the sec
tion no attorneys fees can be deducted nnd
no tnxes, state or local, accruing nfter tho
death of the decedent. The treasurer says
that the provisions of the net, although an
parnntly somewhat rigorous, nro more
nnerai ny far than tho statutes of many
other states Imposing tho inheritance tax.

Mr. W. J. Juengcrt, 102 Lon
don St., Buffalo, N. Y., tells how
be was cured by Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. He says :
"About one year ago I was suf
fering a great deal with kidney
trouble, and the terrible pains
which I experienced in the small
of my back almost incapacitated
me for work. I tried wearing
plasters but they did me no good
whatever. In connection with this
kidney trouble I was subject to
chronic headaches. I was advised
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People. I did so and soon
noticed n great improvement, after
continuing their use for several
mouths nil traces of the kidney
trouble disappeared nnd the head
aches became less frequent."
