The check for JI.'.WMO deposited by the
motor company for the paving between anil
one foot on each side of Its second track
on South Main street was turned over yes
terday afternoon lo City Treasurer True
by City Clerk Phillips. This was done by
tho city clerk on Instructions received
from tho attorney for tho motor company,
dty Trensurer True at onc.o placed the
check, which ih drawn on an Omaha bank,
with his bank here for collection.
Whllo City Treasurer Trim has taken
prompt steps to collect the cash called for
by tho check ho will bo In uo hurry to
make a distribution of It among the prop
erly owners entitled to tho refund. Ho
will not disburse the money
authority and in addition to It having to ,
be determined who tho persons are who ,
ire entitled to the money there will bo
st least one legal question io no uenm-u
before any distribution of tho money can
be made. This question, which In all prnb
iblllty will havo to bo determined by tho
courts, Is whether the property owners on
both sides of tho street or those on tho
west side only nro entitled to tho money.
Somo of tho property owners on thn west
ilde Insist that as tho second track was
laid on tho west sldo of tho street, they
ire nlono entitled to tho refund. In J884,
alien the original paving was laid, tho
itreet car company paid for Its proportion
between tho then ono track and one foot
on each side, whllo the cost of the balance
of tho paving was equally divided botweon
the property owners on both sides of the
thoroughfare City officials who havo given
the matter somo thought nro Inclined to
the opinion that tho property owners on
both sides of tho street will ho entitled
lo share the money as paid In by tho motor
company.
Another question that will have to be de
termined is whether tho present holders
of the ahuttlng property shall receive tho
refund or the pcrsous who paid tho tax
for tho Improvement at tho tltno It was
levied.
All these questions City Treasurer Trim
will have to iletcrnilno before ho will on
his own authority pay out one dollar of the
money.
The city's portion of the refund for the
paving of the Intersections will amount to
about $S0O.

WORRIES MAYOR JENNINGS
Ft Surplus in Police Fund it Being
Rapidly Exhausted,
CALLS FOR HELP FROM EMERGENCY FUND
Will Hnrdly l.ust tho Month Out
Onlnir to the Drains Mode In
Kneeling Quarantine Against
Smallpox,
Mayor Jennings Is commencing to worry
over tho manner In which tho surplus In
his police fund Is being exhausted by the
expenso of maintaining special officers to
guard tho places placed undor quaruntlno
on account of smallpox, lly February 1
this surplus will be extinguished and un
less somo other provision Is mado for th
payment of these guards, their services will
either have to be dispensed with or olso tho
regular police forco will havo to be cut
down.
Tho city ordinance specifically provides
that all expenses connected with carrying
out the orders of tho Hoard of Health must
bt- paid out of the police fund. Until tho
epidemic of smallpox in a do Its appearance,
Mayor Jennings had managed with tho cx
erclso of the strictest economy to save
about $7fi a month from tho amount appro
priated for tho maintenance of the police
fund and tho surplus had reached about
$600. With four guards constantly on duty
at tho Atlantic houso and two nt tho Kunz
residence on Knnt 1'lerco, tho small sur
plus that had been left nfter defraying the
expenso of guards in the former smallpox
cafes Is about cleaned up.
Mayor Jennings feels that tho police forco
should not be diminished, and at the meet
ing of tho city council next Monday night
will call tho attention of the aldermen to
tho situation. Ho will suggest that ns tho
epidemic of smallpox Is undoubtedly a con
tingency that could not have been provided
for at tho time tho annual appropriation
was mado for tho maintenance of the po
llco force, tho expense Incurred by tho ap
pointment of special officers to guard the
places quarantined for smallpox should be
Kunz resldenco, on I'lcrco street.
Tho necessity of keeping guards day nnd
night at tho Atlantic houso is conceded, and
they will have to remain there until tho
quarantine Is raised, which will he. If i:o
fresh cases should occur In tho meantime,
In about two weeks. In order to reduco
expenses, Mayor Jennings has taken off thu
guards on all places quarantined, except In
the case of tho Atlnntlo house and thk
Kunz residence, on I'lcrco struct.

by lhfl Coun(y Uoanl of Su .,,, ,vUn
Cunningham. Ho also filed a demurrer to
Shlnn's petition. In which ho denied that
Shinn had any grounds for actio!.
Ih his answer Cunningham "related that
Immediately upon tho Hoard of Supervisors
entering Into tho lontract with him ho
encaged In the work of cnrrylng out and
executing his part of It. In performance
of the obligations which the contract im
posed upon him Cunningham says ho em
ployed capable, and expert assistants and
that with such assistance ho has been ron
tlucusly engaged from tho time of tho mak
ing of thu contract to the present com
plying with the terms and provisions of the
contract on his part at an expenso of sev
eral thousand dollars.
Ho rays further that nt tho tlrao of the
commencement of the suit brought by Shlnn
tho work was almost completed and a
laige number of reports had been made
by hlra In compliance with tho require
ments of the contract and tho material and
facts accumulated and In readiness to tnnko
nearly all tho balanco of such reports.
Further, that all tho work had been com
pleted, except so far as It related to finish
ing up mnklng tho reports and presenting
them to tho county treasurer, and that
nothing now remains for him to do except
to make theso reports, which ho claims ho
Is now toady and prepared to mako and
In fact Is making.
Ho alleges that Shlnn has been guilty
of Inches and Is consequently estopped
from maintaining the action and that It
would bo unjust and Inequltnblo to permit
him or any other citizen or taxpayer of
Pottawattamie county at this time to set
up tho Invalidity of tho contract, tho more
cisr dally as tho county has nnd Is now
receiving the benefit of all tho work nnd
labor which ho has porformed In carrying
nut his part of tho contract. IIo also al
leges that It would be unjust and Inequita
ble to allow Shlnn or nnyono else to bring
up nt this tlmo against htm that the con
tract or authority under which he acted
was contrary to public policy or the ex
lsteuco of any other factB or circumstances
which could defeat him from his rights un
der tho contract in question.
Cunnlnghnm, therefore. In view of theso
allegations, nsks that the petition filed by
Shlnn bo dismissed.

MANILA, Jin. 30. All tho Filipino lead
ers of tho federal party nssert their con
tinued fealty to tho Catholic church, ex
cepting Buoncamlno,' Hosarlo and Ner. Tho
church authorities, whllo Intimating un
officially that there is no Intention of re
turning tho friars to tho localities whero
tho peoplo object to them, havo not assured
the rcurcscntatlvcs of the government to
this effect.
Both tho legislative and oxecutlvo au
thorities aro determined to permit tho
utmost freedom of worship, but Judge Tnft,
president of tho United States Philippine
commission, said today that it was unde
termined where they ought to draw tho
line In localities where tho presence of tho
friars may tend to cause unrest and dis
turbance. Tho attempt of Huencnmlno and
his conferees nt Tondo to orugnlzo nn evan
gelical church was precipitated by arrests,
mado on thn Information of priests, of cer
tain alleged supporters of thn insurrection.
Tho question of tho release of some of
them Is pending.
There Is much speculation ns to tho extent
to which Huencnmlno will bo abln to control
religious sentiment In his ward, In which
reside the poorest class of natives. Llttlo
Interest In tho matter Is apparent In the
Blnondo and neighboring wards.
Dr. Bourns, tho only American on tho
federal party directorate, says the
evangelical movement was originated by
political lenders at Tondo nnd was disap
proved by tho party directors.
Tho American soldiers and civilians de
precate the attempts to mix religious agita
tions with the police reform, which tho
foderal party has fathered and extended.
Whllo tho religious belief of tho Filipinos
is apparently sincere. It Is Imposslblo to
predict to what oxtent It may bo swayed by
their leaders, aided by Protestant mis
sionaries. Nothing has yet been ac
complished In tho lino of wholesale con
versions to Protestantism In Manlln.
Huencnmlno Is erecting tho framework of
nn ovnugellcal organization and hopes
shortly to gathor a big membership.
Forty sailors from tho United Sfntcs
cruiser Albany, convicted of mutiny while

reorganization bill. When that bill becomes
n law It will be entirely within the power
of tho president to designate the order In
which commissions shall be Issued to thn
mnjor generals created thereby. Tho firt
officer commissioned ns major general, of
course, by tho rules of seniority, which will
still obtain, will becomo entitled to the
command whenever ho comes In contact
with an officer of like grade.
Thus, If tho president wlnhes MacArthur
to ret j In command In the Philippine nnd
that officer cares to remain nfter Wade's
arrival, It will simply become necessary to
allow MncArthur's commission as major
general to antedato Wade's, and that will
be done If MacArthur remains. Uut It has
been understood for several months Hint
MneArthur, having served quite as long
In the tropics as Is consistent with health
and sound military practice, hn Is likely to
come home In tho late sprtng.
Ily the same understanding General
Chnffco has been assigned as his succes
sor nnd ptescnt Indications afford no reason
for a change In tho belief that It Mac
Arthur cares to come here and that Is left
to his own choice his natural successor
will bo General Chaffee.
