All lam night the court ac:ouutams
added figures under direction of Treasurer
II. J. 'enfold and by this aftern.on Sim
ton expects to have an official aaount of
his trust In duo form. At n hazard Mr.
I'onfold remarked that tho profits of tha
carnival would exceed $2.C0i. Tho ball,
he pointed out, was not promoted to make
money, although It Is expected to more
than pay for Itself. No computation, his
been mado of the expense of tho parades,
as tho pay roll was opened last May and
has varied from $100 to $300 tier week
over since. Tho original funds camo from
a scoro of sources fees of membership,
bequests of merchants, street railway and
railroads.
Tho Items of expense arc still b?lng pre
scnted to Hamsun In the form of duns,
many of heroic size. Tor tho rojnl ball

and tho caterer's bill to JS00. Tho chuck

of tho ball was a Uttlo less tluu 43 000.

Each morulug Hamson has proceed .d to n
national depository, with two attendants In
Ills rear, bearing each two sacks. Tlrsj
burdens weighed about forty pounds each
and wcro filled with thu lesser coins of tho
roalm, neatly assorted and counted. In
addition to tho goodly income from this
source there was the revenue from tho
booths, each contributing $2 per running
foot, and the percentages on the midway
attractions.
Thu day of largest attendance was
Woduesdny, when tho Immense throngs
summoned to obscrvo tho daylight parade
found a natural destination wlth.n tha

special features and dlvcrtlsement had been
provided for tho children, whoso day It also
was.

As tho stroke ot 12 announced tho In
coming week this morning the last visitors
passed through tho turnstiles nt the
Oriental carnival grounds nnd left tho con
fetti-strewn streets to tho workmen whoj
began to pack up tho Midway shows j
preparatory to entering upon another week
of the strenuous llfo.
Last night was tho merriest tlmo of the
carnival. Hundreds of traveling men
helped tho ballyhoo spielers and encour
aged tho efforts ot tho dancing girls.
Twenty thousand people bent on having
a good tlmo Joined In thu mad ruvel nnd
kept tho n lr tilled with confetti.
Tho erowd was, tho largest that was In
tho carnival nt any ono tlmo during the
week. Fnr tho first tlmo tho Midway
attractions tilled their tents repeatedly
and tho streots wero packed with the good
natured throng. It was a nt climax to a
week that wus successful beyond all ex
pectation and In splto of unfavorable
weather.
A disorderly erowd was expected last
night nnd thirty-six extra policemen wcro
provided to keep pence. A patrol wagon
stood at tho Douglas street entrance ready
to give any rudlans a freo ride, but the
sight of tho llfty-two olllcers In conven
tional blue had a salutary effect upon
hoodlums and prevented any lawless out
break.

No action was had at the meeting of tho

forenoon upon tho proposed submission of
a proposition to vote bonds for an luter

not referred to in tho meeting exdept that
a prolest was read from tho Peter Cooper
club, which was referred to committee of
the whole,
James Crelghton and Former Police Cap
tain Cormack wcro present to protest
against bonding the county for r00,000 for
n new court house, but thcro was no refer
ence to tho subject during tho mooting-
After adjournment, however, theso two gen
tlemen held n heated session with Commis
sioner Connolly, Inveighing loudly against
tho submission ot tho proposition, claiming
that nny proposition that may bo submitted
for tho Issuo of bonds Is suro to carry.
County Treasurer Elsabser submitted a
communication to tho effect that ho is In
formed that nt the coming public tax salo
bids will be presented for tho purchase of
various properties for the regular city and
county taxes only, the parties bidding
therefor refusing to purchnso for tho spo
cial taxes unpaid, claiming that the latter
are invalid und uncollectablo. Whllo this
would yield a largo rovenuo to tho county,
It has always been tho custom to Issue
certificates of tax sales only to those who
offer to pay nil delinquent taxes on tho
properties purchased, regular and special.
Treasurer Elsasscr takes tho position that
all taxes unpaid nnd certified to him by the
treasurers of Omaha and South Omaha are
valid Hens upon the properties against
which they aro levied, nnd that ho cannot
assume to bo the Judge of tho validity of
this or that special tax'. Hp holds that nil
certificates of salo must Include all unpaid
taxes and ho wanted an expression from
the commissioners on the subject. Com
missioner lloctor said ho thought-It hardly
the provlnco of the hoard to pass upon the
question ami on his motion tho tommimlcn
Hon was referred to the fluanco committee
und the county attorney.

On August 30 ears at Lawn and Clifton

were taken from cars at Dund?o and West

possession of the men' and tho p aco was
discovered where tho balance of the metal
was melted. The Jack, dnrk lantern, nl k

were In tho house occupied by tho men.
Whllo tho valuo ot tho brass?s Is com

before tho cars aro mado up Into trnlns.

and break down without warning, earning

All of the litigation regarding the laying
of railroad tracks la tho uasii.ru part of
the city has been transferred to the fill ed
Slates court with the tiling ot tho potlituis
of tho city of Omaha against Iho I ii.cn Pa
cific und Omaha roads and of the Dyron
Reed company against tho same defend. in. 11.
There has been 110 decision render d in
the enso of tho Omnha & Sutuwscrn
acaliiHt tho Omaha road, but It is bcl.aiod
thai tho plaintiff has more ihanco of car
rying its point through tho bull filed in tho
name uf thu city, I he Judgo Indicating in
tho course of the trial that wh lu It might
lie thnt tho plaintiff road hud no rig, as
above theso of any property owner, w.io
hns an udeiiuate lemcdy at law for any
damago which might result from thu laying
ot tlio defendant's tracks, tho c.ty un
doubtedly has tho right to enjoin tile laying
of tho truck.
Whllo thu suit ot tho Burlington and ot
tho city Is aimed at tho laying nf .ho track
on Eighth street from Capitol ivonuo to
Howard street, tho Bull brought by tho
Ryroii Reed company Is against tho mv ng
of track on Harney and Fanuim s'retts
from Eighth to Tenth. The plnitiUtN a I
lego that tho right-of-way graniyil by iho
council was Illegal and thcrefti'-o of no
foreo and effect. They say that tho rrip
orty owners of that part of the town invo
all necessary trackago facilities, n lino ot
track running up tho nlloy In tho r"ir of
tho lots, and that If tho defendants aro per
mitted to construct tho lines contempt tied
tho nluo of the lots will bo depreciated
beyound reparation. Tho right of eminent
domain Is combated on the ground that tho
construction of the proposed lines Is nit
for public Interest or occasioned by Imme
diate, trndo necessities, but thnt It Is being
dnnn to seciirn control of the streets for
future exigencies. All of thn suits will
probably bo heard at tho October term of
court In Lincoln.
