LAW'S DELAY IS ANNOYING

EQUITY JUDGES UP WITH THEIR DOCKETS
likelihood of One More Court Betas:
Assigned to Law work la
Order to Relieve Pres
eat Congestion.
It la not unlikely that with the begli
zdng of UU6, there will be n, fifth law judge,
and Jury room In the district court of
Douglas county. At present there are four
Jury Judge and . from one cause an-1
another the dockets In all four courts :ir-
quite heavily encumbered with cases thai
tiave been dragging along for from a (e
months to several yeara. The tin re equity
Judges are practically up with their work,
so far as people who want a trial are con
cerned. There has been some talk among the
Judges themselves relative to the need for
a remedy to obviate the law's delay in the
Jury courts. It Is not the fault of any one,
apparently, that the law dockets are so far
behind. Take the cases against the street
railway company, as an Instance. The
Institution of such suits Is becoming more
fashionable as the years go by. Judsing
by the number on the dockets of the dif
ferent courts. As a rule these cases con
sume a good deal of time when they get
Started. The company's attorneys, stand
ing high In their profession, are naturally
very busy men. A case will be called for
trial and either Mr. Webster or Mr. Conn. 11
la engaged In some other court. One hus
been handling the witness end of the case
and the other looking up the law and the
facts. As both cannot be present, the case
goes over. In other instances the plain
tiff's attorney Is busy, when the case is
called, or the witnesses are not available,
and another postponement Is taken. So the
litigation drags, and many cases are hung
up at present
The same thing Is true .of personal Injury
and other actions against private corpora
tions. Their attorneys are also attorneys
for many other clients, and postponements
and continuances are numerous every week
In the year.
Present Term Kotahly Slow.
The present term has been notably slow
In getting causes to trial, although the
Judges have been at hand every day and
ready to go ahead. A few causes have
been stricken from the dockets in the last
two terms of court, especially on the
equity side, but the number remaining on
the law dockets is still very large, and this
fact gives rise to the discussion of an in
crease of at least one judge on that side.
Talking of the matter Incidental to a
general review of court work on Friday,
Judge Sutton said: "It seems very prob
able that with the opening of the fall term,
or at least by the first of the year, some
thing will have to be done to relieve the
congestion of the law dockets. There is
little doubt that we shall have to add one
judge to that branch of the court. The
equity Judges are well up with their work
and only exceptional circumstances can
prevent a litigant getting a prompt hear
ing of his cause. Bo many different rea
sons arise for postponement in the law di
visions of the court that It Is not at all
strange if the dockets have become some
what encumbered. The addition of a fifth
Judge to that end wtTt most likely be tho
solution of the difficulty."
A merry passenger rate war Is in sight
for the railroads which run or have con
nection between Nebraska and Milwaukee.
The occasion of this rate war is the, an
nouncement by the Milwaukee road that
It has been made the official route for the
Woodmen of Nebraska when they go to
Milwaukee in June to the national encamp
ment. It Is understood the rate agretd
upon between th railroad committee of
the Woodmen and the Milwaukee road is
$10 for the round trip from Omaha. Oilier
roads say this rate will not get the busi
ness. In spite of the agreement with the
committee of the Woodmen.
For the last national encampment at In
dianapolis the roads made a rate of $8 for
the round trip and had to divide the bus!
ness with another road from Chicago to
Indianapolis. This year, the encampment
being at Milwaukee, there are several lines
which have roads of their own from Omaha
to Milwaukee, and It is said that they do
not Intend to let the business go without a
fight.
It Is announced that one road already
has declared Its intention of making a rale
of 8 and there are rumors afloat that a
possible rate of K may be made for the
business.
Hill Dral I neonflrmed.
No local confirmation can be obtained of
the reported turchase of the Chicago Gret
Western railroad by the Hill interests. The
report of the consolidation of the Kansas
City Southern and the Great Western also
Is persistently circulated and the report
of the consolidation is promised to follow
Immediately after the annual meeting of
the Kansas City Southern' road. The press
reports state that the Iutch interest.
gained control of the Kansas City road at
the meeting in New York Thursday. This
Is looked upon as a victory for the Hill In
terests over those controlled by Harriman.
It is very well known that Mr. Hill has
long coveted a gulf outlet for his system.
He has a double motive in this. He wants
to control the wheat crops of Washington
and the Dakota, bring them to Minne
apolis over his Great Northern and North
ern I'aclnc lines, have them milled there
and then shipped In the form of flour to
the markets of Europe by the gulf route.
St. Faul Is fifty-six miles nearer New Or
leans than New York, and the distance In
favor of Port Arthur Is still more pro
nounced, so that the marketing of north
western wheat through gulf ports can be
done much more cheaply than by the old
established routes to the Atlantic seaboard.
The realisation of this Is the first Inspir
ing motive Mr. Hill has in view In the
acquisition of this new property. The sec
ond Is that he wants to obtain a big slice
of the cotton trade of the southern and
southwestern states for the development of
his lines of traffic to oriental markets.
Other reasons are said to have moved Mr.
Hill to possess himself of the Chicago
Great Western system besides the minor
one that he wants to see it removed from
the situation as a rate disturber. The first
of these is that it will afford him the short
line between St. Faul and Omaha and Kan
sas City. At the latter point It will form a
natural connection with the Kansas City
Southern.
Telegrams from New York state that the
board of directors and the executive com
mittee of the Kansas City Southern rail
way met there Thursday and arranged
preliminaries for the annual meeting of
stockholders at Kansas City next week.
At the conclusion of the meeting the state
ment was made by Hermann Sielcken,
chief representative of the Holland Inter
est, that there would be no Contest at the
annual meeting. It was later learned that
property will be transferred to the Holland
Interest at the Kansas City meeting.
John W. Gates said Thursday that he had
no interest In the reported transfer of the
Kansas City Southern railway from the
Harriman to the Holland Interests. Mr,
Gates added that he was today but slightly
Interested in the property and had not been
a factor In its affairs for several years.

City Treasurer Hennings snys it should
be understood by rurchasf-rs of tax cer
tificates at the scavenger law sales that
.delinquent taxes for 1!4 and subsequent
taxes must be paid to validate the cer
tificates. Real estate men and brokers un
derstand this, but individuals who have
made one or two Investments for the pur
pose of getting additional land around
their homes nnd the like do not. cm this
and other subjects the treasurer has lssuud
the following statement:
Under our new revt-nue law the citv
treasurer is charged with all personal taxes
levied as soon as the tax list is delivered
to him, and his bondsmen are llahle for
the amount of taxes, unless the same are
collected. The law makes it the duty of
the city treasurer to serve distress war
rants as soon as the taxes are delinquent
In every Instance and at the time when the
treasurer turns over the office to his suc
cessor the delinquent tax list must have
been cleaned up. He has to turn over the
money for taxes, distress warrants served,
with a notation why taxes were not col
lected, or in cases where people are poor
and unnble to pay, an affidavit to this
effect. The Jaw is very strict, but the city
treasurer is compelled to enforce the same.
Now Is a good lime for the taxpayers to
come to the treasurers office and settle,
as they will avoid the rush and be waited
upon promptly.
Many who nave bought at the scavenger
tax sale are coming in and are paying the
subsequent city, that 1, the 114 tlxes. on
their certificates, but It seems that a good
many do not understand that they only
purchased regular and special taxes In
cluding the year lf"3, and that nil taxes
which have become due and delinquent.
regular and special, f-ince May 1, lli.iS, must
be paid by the holder of the tax certificate.

CASE THROWN OUT OF COURT
Shinier and Chase Dismissed, Since
Ordinance Violated Is Wiped
Off Books.
The case against C. C. Shimer and Arthur
cnase. contractors, wno were Brought up
In police court on a charge of violating the
city ordinance by placing a boiler under
the stage of the new Kohrbaugh Commer
cial college, has been dismissed from the
police court docket for the reason that the
ordinance which it was claimed was vio
lated by the contractors has been repealed
by the city council.
This was the case which was brought
against the contractors on a complaint
sworn out by Building Inspector Withnell,
who granted the permit to build, but later
rescinded It for the reason that the con
tractors were not constructing their work
at the Commercial college according to the
plans of the building permit. The boiler
was being placed directly under the stage
of the Commercial college, which Is now in
course of construction at Nineteenth and
Farnam streets, and this, it was claimed
by the building Inspector, was In an un
safe place, and furthermore it was being
done In .violation of the ordinance. The
building was stopped a week ago. The case
was set for hearing In police court Friday
morning, but the repealing of the ordi
nance by the city council put a stop to
the hearing.

5trong Men of All Classes Fall Easy
Victims to Catarrh.
The explanation is that in their strength
they regard a cold or Blight Indisposition
as insignificant.
They let It go, pay no attention to It.
AVhen they sneeie, cough or spit, they
pay no attention to It.
When a remedy Is suggested, they shrug
their shoulders or make a contemptuous
remark.
At last the cold fastens Itself upon some
mucous membrane.
it may be In the nose, throat, lungs, or
some organ of the body.
It soon develops Into chronic catarrh.
One bottle of Peruna would have readily
cured It while It was yet a cold.
If It becomes chronic catarrh, It some
times requires several bottles of Peruna to
effect a cure.
But, wheather a cold or chronic catarrh,
Peruna Is the remedy the world over.

The bitterest kind of disappointment pre
vailed at the city dog pound Thursday.
Someone telephoned in that the mother of
seven puppies had been lost, strayed or
stolen, leaving the little doggies helpless.
it was oesirea to nave the youngsters
taken to the pound and mercifully asphyx
lat?d. The dog catchers went after the
pups, when to their disgust and amaze
ment they found them tailless. That is
all except one. The others were freaks
and their freakis"hness meant loss of money
to the poundmaster and his assistants, for
they are paid for every dog killed, $1 per
tail. There being no tails nothing could
be collected from the freaks. Therefore
disappointment ensued.
To brighten things up a little the mother
dog put in an appearance and claimed her
family. It was the first time on record
when the dog catcheis were glad to let
their prey escape.

He was for years connected with the Santa Fe R. R., was a member of the first

Regarding the famous catarrh remedy, Peruna, Col. Loomis writes:
"1 have been a sufferer from nasal c atarrh for several years.
"I have been treated by physicians and used various remedies, with no favor
able results.
I was advised to try reruns, and after taking; three bottles, I was
roropletelr eared of my ailment.
"From my own experience with this medicine, I can recommend Peruna as an
efficient catarrh remedy to anyone similarly afflicted. "
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics
One reason why Peruna has found per
manent use In so many homes is that It
contains no narcotics of any kind. Peruna
Is perfectly harmless. It can be used any
length of time without acquiring a drug
habit.
Peruna does not produce temporary re
sults. It Is permanent rn its effect
It has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re
moving the cause of catarrh. There are a
multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
PAIR FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
Kotorloas Character and Consort Dis
covered In Woman's Room Over
come Attempted Salclde Denied.
Nellie Wright of 114 North Ninth street
and Sam Goldsmith were found in an un
conscious condition In a room at the
Wright woman's house a little after 6
o'clock Friday morning. It was at nrst
thought It was a case of attempted suicide,
but the attending physician who was called
said it was a positive case of ptomaine
poisoning. The reason the suicide theory
was advanced was because the officers in
the vicinity of tho place had noticed gas
escaping from the place and upon investi
gation It was found that the Jets in the
room occupied by the Wright woman and
Goldsmith were turned on full force
Another reason given for the suicide the
ory Is the fact that the woman has made
various attempts to take her own life, and
It is thought by the police officers who
know her reputstion that she had turned
on the gas with the Intention of taking
her own life and that of her lover also.
This, however, Is strongly denied by the
woman, who says that her condition was
due to something which she had eaten the
night before and had caused tha poisoning.

Charles Bonde Is a greenhouse keeper,

that Bonde had been in the habit of meet

Every member of the board Is impressed

standpoint of public need, they say.
