If business continues at Its prtient rapid pace Iouls Hlohodlsky ho of Ninth street tenement fnmc will need a bunch of private eecretarles to help him keep his official lUttB, Ever since City Treasurer Hennlnga Inaugurated his crusade for the collection of pcrflonnl taxes a few weeks ago a large proportion of court house and city hall Ink baa been connumcd In writing Slobodlsky's name. Tho lateat epoch In Slobodlsky's atormy career occurred In Judge KeyBor'a court yes terday, when tho dlvorco case of "Heatrlee Slobodlaky against Louis Slobodlaky" was called for trial. Neither aide being ready, he case was postponed Indefinitely, there la a rumor that a reconciliation may be brought nbout, hut official verification is lacking. . Mrs. Slobodlsky Instituted divorce pro ceeding last October, long before the name of Slobodlaky became notorious. The casual observer would never mtspect that Louis aiobodlsky figured In a romance, but he did, and this divorce ease. Is tho ttcquel. Thrco yearn ago Slobodlaky met Miss Ileatrlcc Hunter, a young drctatnaker, conceded to be ona of tho most Rtriklngly beautiful women In Omaha. It wae a case of Instan taneous love, such aa la depicted In story bookx. Slobodlaky and Miss Hunter went to Council nluffs on tho afternoon of Oc tober 23, 1SA8, and were married. Unllko the story book version, they did not "live 'happily over after," but on tho contrary, their bark atruck atormy seas, If tho con tent of 'Mrs. Slobodlsky's divorce polltlon may bo taken a an Index. Tho petitioner alleges tint on the night of February 15, 189!, her husband locked her out of the house and refused her admit tame. Subsequently, so ahe alleges, he ripped J150 worth of her line drcssea Into nhrcdK such as farmers' wvt use for car pot rags. It Is further alleged that he made himself generally disagreeable, heap ing varloua accusations upon his pretty young wife. In concluding her petition, Mrs. Slobo dltky sola forth that her husband derives at least 15 per day from tho rental of tene ment houses; that ho owns their $5,000 residence at 2522 Wirt street, and that ho has a largo income from other source. This recitation la preliminary to an appeal to tho court for a liberal allowance of alimony. 'Mrs. Slobodlaky did not appear In court yesterday, her attorney being there to represent her. SlobodUky's at torney was also present. As to tho ru mored reconciliation, the attornoys do ollncd to make positive Htatcments. While this was going on In Judgo Key or's court a local piano firm was hur riedly Instituting replevin proceedings against City Treasurer Hcnnlngs to recover poj-nemilon of a piano, which It was al leged was seized with other property for tho payment of Slobodlsky'H personal taxes. Tho piano firm sets forth that tho Instrument wa only leased to Slobodlaky. Only two days ago Slobodlsky was be fore Judge Dickinson In an effort to enjoin the city treasurer from further Interfcrenco with the collection of rents of the Ninth iitreet tenement houses and final settlement of that question Is. still pending, with possi bility of a compromises IIOI,n-t I CASK ON' TltlAI.

Tho Rock Island road ihas Just received twenty-two mammoth new engines, con structed for both speed and power, which will be put Into service on the fast freight and passenger trains running between Chi cago, Kansas City nnd Omaha. It is esti mated that they will be ablo easily to pull a train of from twelvo to fourteen heavy Pullman sleepers at an average speed of fifty miles nn hour. Tho purchase of these largo locomotives was made ncccshary by tho heavy trains which the Rock Inland Is now hauling on Its line between Chicago and the Missouri river. They weigh about liSO.qjp pounds and are of the compound ten-wheeler t)pe and from tho pilot to the rear draw-bar they measure sixty-four feet.

One of tho objects of tho present meeting of tho Western Passenger asoclatlon In Chicago Is to reach an agreement. If pofsl ble. that will prevent tho slaughtering of rates for the transportation of government troops returning from tho Philippines. The old pooling ogreemcnt has gone to pieces, owing to tho refusal of the roads which carried tho largest proportion of the busl- nesn to turn over part of their earnings from that sourco to tho other lines. Most of the roads which carried the troops have already settled with the government on the basis of party rates, leb the land grant. As matters now stand, tho government can get much lower rates than It was com pelled to pay for the transportation of troops during tho Cuban war, and it in to do away with this condition or artolrs that the pas senger men are now discussing tho proposi tion. rnshlnir Ivrnnleil Contrnrt.

TREASURER IS ENCOURAGED Uellmiurnt Tnin)rm CoiiiIiik Into IIIh Oflli-c nl Scllllnn Tlirlr Aocou nt. The city treasurer Is much encouraged with the progrces being made In tho col lection of personal taxes. Taxpayers nto coming to realize, he says, the Justice of the obligation and the final necessity of its payment. During tho first fifteen days in the present month moro than twice as much has been collected as during the whole thirty-one days of May, 1S9D. Tho amount ko far received In May is )6,S34.41 against 2,265.36 In tho month of May one year ago. The city treasurer believes thnt the total collections for this month will amount to $20,000. Tho three collectors newly em ployed are not as yet thoroughly familiar with their routes and tho best methods of getting results. Many delinquents also arc making promises to pay later in the month and with the weapon of the distress war rant always In sight many of these will bo made good. Cleft: Anderson Is now In charge of the personal tax collections and his time is occupied In laying out routes as tho names appear In the book over looking neither largo nor small delinquents, and In keeping the records of moneys paid In. Although it Is not a fair comparison to set the collections of fifteen days this month with thirty-ono a year ago, the figures are still heavily In favor of the present year. The yeara given reprtsent the period for which the tax Is paid In.
