ATTORNEYS BUSY LOOKING LP RECORD Eiprru Oelnloa Defects Have Bffi Poand Wblrh Will lavalldale the Tat Amount Inrolved MKH. The union Pacific Railroad comDanv will. It wa slated at the city hall yesterday, protest against the fiyliB of social tuxes for the paving of Railroad avenue. This paving was laid last year and without the petition for grading and paving having ben sighed by the railroad company, it was stated at tbs tlma that a sufficient num ber of property owners stgn.d the petition without the necessity of taking the I'nlon I'aclflc Into consideration. Part of the cost of this paving, curbing end grading was paid by the issuing of general bonds and the balance la to be paid by assessment aralnst abutting property. The amount as sessed against the Union Pacific for these Improvements Is in the neighborhood of W.00O. Attorneys for the railroad company have been busy for several days looking up the records !t this paving ciise. Just what line of action Is to be taken was not stated, but certified copies of all records have been asked for. It was Intimated by one of the I'nlon Pacific attorneys Tuesday that several flaws had been found In the proceedings and that the railroad company would bring these to the attention of the courts when the city made an attempt to collect the taxes assessed for the paving. A well known attorney in talking about this and other j.avlng cases said last even ing that It seemed as If It was Impossible to socure any Improvements In South Omaha without opposition. In many cases the city officials appear to take all necessary precautions and are very partlculur about .lie mat mi(t bii'J going through all the forms as directed by the city attorney, and yet when the tlma come to pay taxes or let contracts or sell bonds other attorneys find that some detail has been overlooked and that the special assessment levied will not hold in the courts. Commercial C lab Meeting:. Lest lhau. three dozen' members of the uth Omaha '.Commercial club met at W orkman temple last night to listen to ad dresses by O. W. Wattles and O. M. Hitch cock, lioth of these gentlemen from Omaha talked about municipal Improvements and told how to make a city grow.

A great many property owners In the southwest portion of the city are opposing ordinances relating to the laying of perina- nent sidewalks. The reason given for this is that the city has failed to keep Its promise regarding the paving of West Q street. When it was announced that the city, under the present law could not pave that portion of Q street from Thirty-third street west to the city limits a great howl went up and now every effort that the council makes to compel the laying of per manent sidewalks Is met wlthh opposition. Property owners on T street secured the repeal of a permanent sidewalk ordinance and 8 street property owners fighting against any permanent ordinances Will lanore Ordlnanee. Monday night st the council meeting Mr. Klewlt Introduced an ordinance compelling the electric light snd telegraph companies to place their wires underground by De cember 13. 1!. Officers of these companies declare that even should the ordinance pass and be signed by the mayor that no atten tion will be paid to It. Th reason gl'en Is that the expense would be greatly In excess of the business done In South Omaha. From surface Indications the ordi nance will not pass and even should It be come a law It will result In litigation. Rolldlna- Fence Rapidly.

This evening the Northeast Improvement club will meet at the new high school building. The meeting Is called for 7:30 o'clock sharp. Members of the club assert that enough signers have been secured to the petition for the curbing and guttering of Twenty-third street as far south as L street. At the meeting to be held this evening those present will be asked to de cide upon the grade so that this feature may be Included In the curbing and gutter- far as known. The case at bar arose out of the purchase by Mr. Seaman In March, 1SP9. of the tax title to the northeast quar ter of section 2. town 14, range 11, In Doug las county. He paid taxes amounting to $in.73 (or the years 1R96-6-7-S. The property stood In the name of Harvey Link, an old settler, but others had soma Interest In It When the time for redemp tion had almost expired Mr. Link and the others Interested tendered to Mr. Seaman what they thought was fairly due him. This he refused to accept, on the ground that he was by law entitled to 30 per cent Interest for two years and thereafter to 10 per .ent and an attorney's fee. He waa offered 12 per cent Interest and his long acquaintance with Mr. Link was put for ward as a reason for an amicable settle ment. 'No, I cannot do that," said Mr. Sea man. "This Is a matter of business ana u ng petition when presented to the council. I I do It with one person I may have to do Owing to the Interest being taken In lm- It with others.

NEW RATES0F ARCANUMS Iteeeat Action of Pnpreme onncll Calls Forth Meeting; of Loral Members. A well attended meeting of t'nlon Pacific council. Royal Arcanum, was held Monday night at Arcanum hall. Sixteenth and Har ney streets, for the purpose of talking over the new rates of assessment Just promulgated by the supreme council of the order at Atlantic City, N. J. The new rates Involve a material increase In the assessment of all members and ar re garded as particularly burdensome upon the members who have reached advanced years. Several of the grand officers were pres ent to explain the new rates and to Im press the members with the Importance of remaining loyal to the order, "the Increase being made for the better protection of the members." It was held that the adjust ment of rates was necessary at this time because the revenue from the present scale of assessment during the last two years was not sufficient to pay the mortality claims, the surplus In the current cash ac count had been exhausted and the emer gency fund trenched upon at the time of the meeting of the supreme council. "This made It evident that one of three things had to be done," said an official, "either readjust the rates, go back to the old policy of calling extra assessment or use up the emergency fund. It finally was suggested and decided upon that the read justment of rates on a permanent basis was the best way out of the dilemma. The new rate for the present and new mem- WOMAN ACCUSES HUSBAND Yeuug Bride Says Jack Daily Threatened to Kill Her.

Preliminary to the trial of the case In terested parties, lawyers and other were discussing It, and the statement was made that A. J. Seaman Is known to have pre sented a $50,000 certlfle'd treasurer' check at a sale In Denver when he was buying some property sold for taxes. He rarely or never handles money In large amounts. He prefers and Insists, when possible, that the cash be paid to the county treasurer when any one has a settlement to make with him. The treasurer thus becomes hi banker, cashier and bookkeeper, and all his business Is done with treasurers' checks. If asked where he can be found to dis cuss business, as he waa In the present case, Mr. Beaman always names the Toung Men's Christian association rooms, saying he never transacts business where he sleeps. He has been known, say those who know him best, to walk from one county seat to another, probably to become ac quainted with the lay of the land.

The new rates are applied to attainea ages Instead of assessed ages, and It Is held by the supreme council that by plac ing the rates at attained ages wipes out the deficit caused by past mistakes and starts the order anew, all members, young and old, being placed on the same basis, with rates not only adequate, but equita ble, for all age. However, as the new rates do not go Into effect until October 1, the members will have plenty of time to think over the matter. Members of the order are enjoined to carefully study the table of rates as re adjusted, appearing In the June Issue of the Royal Arcanum Bulletin. There are five tables of rates made under the read justment and members may avail of which ever they prefer. The question of whether Jack Dally accosted his wife, who was In the company of Thomas E. McNeill on the evening of May 3, at Sixteenth and Nicholas streets. Is the pivotal point on which hangs one of the most Interesting cases that haa been heard In the local police court for some time. The case Is one wherein C. W. Wedell of. 1128 North Sixteenth street, on behalf of his daughter, Mrs. Rose Dally, charge the girl's husband with disturbing the peace. The evidence tu the case was all heard In police court Tuesday morning and Friday morning Police Magistrate Berka will glv a decision. Mrs. Dally and McNeill, whom she say was with her at the time of the alleged trouble with Dally, testified that they could not be mistaken In the Identity of Dally, while the girl's father said he was positive the man wu Dally, although the latter' testimony was somewhat shaken by Attor ney Kelkenney, for the defense. On the other hand, Dally said on the stand that he was not near his wife or. the evening In question and established a strong alibi with a number of witnesses. At this trial, which was but one chapter of the story of the case, much evidence was brought out regarding the secret mar riage of Miss Wedell to Dally at Calhoun on the afternoon of April 26. The couple returned to Omaha the same day, the bride going to the home of her parents. Sh said she did not see Dally again until the evening of the alleged trouble. Speaking of the case In police court to day Mr. Wedell said; I have aged ten years In the last thirty days on account of this trouble. Rose' mother 1 nearly heart-broken and could not come to court this morning. Rose 1 our only girl and we love her much. I hope to send her away when this matter I finished." Then the gray-haired father wiped away a tear.

FACTS not THEORIES TRUTH not FICTION. The truth is what the American public want in these days. Tha 'way of truth is also the way of health now that trying weather is here. We hear a tale of hard colds, bad coughs, "threatened with pneumonia and almost bronchitis. Maybe it is talk of "spring " fever, backache, cold feet and perhaps the early symptoms of grip. Take the ounce of prevention that is worth the pound of cure that will carry you through the bad spring weather, "A safe and sane" tonic to use at this time is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Why? because it Is an honest mtdicine ! Made from medicinal plants that put new blood in your veins, new vigor in the worn-out body, fresh strength in the muscles, heart and brain. Fraud is a bubble that soon bursts. Truth Speaks. Truth is a foundation of rock that cannot be moved I In order to separate the false from the true Dr. Tierce has decided to let the public know just what is contained in his "Golden Medical Discovery." This valuable tonland blood purifier has been sold in ever increas ing quantities for nearly forty years its success seemed vphenommal to those not familiar with its ingredients but the secret is out now and you know why it is that Dr. Pierce found it so uniformly successful ia treating chronic cases those who were run-down whose blood was bad owing to imperfect digestion perhaps the skin showing scrof ulous tendency due to impure blood and the heart and arteries left in a weakened condition. Dr. R.. V. Pierce during an active practice found time to experiment and study the combining of the following native medicinal plants into an alterative in which just the right pro portions were scientifically combined to make the most effective remedy without the use of a particle of alcohol as follows : I. BLOODROOT (Sang-uinaria Canadensis). 2. SiUMU KUVJi (Louinsonta tanaaensts). 3. GOLDEN SEAL, Hydrastis Canadensis). 4. QUEEN'S ROOT (Stiiing-ia. Sylvatica). ' 5. MANDRAKE Podophyllum Pettatum). 6. CHERRYBARK (Prunus Virginiana). One of the most scientific authorities in his Medical Dispensatory says of Dloodroot : " It stimulates the digestive organs, increases action of heart and arteries valuable as a stimulant and tonic as well as a remedy for a cough." Of the following plants he farther saysi "Stone root is an alterative, tonic and stimulant. Improves appetite, promotes flow of gastric juice and a good remedy in indigestion, dys pepsia, chronic gastritis and increases the secretion from the kidneys and skin. Mandrake is a gentle stimulant tonic, improves the appetite and is a certain but sure cathartic which leaves the bowels in an im-, proved condition." While of Queen's root he says: "an alterative un surpassed by few if any other of the known alteratives, most successful in skin and scrofulous affections, aids in blood-making and nutrition."
