CLEAN JP OLD TAXES.
Bill to Be Introduced to Provide for *
i
Collection. t
LINCOLN, Neb —Investigations are *
now being systematically pursued to- 1
ward securing the enactment of a <
measure that will enable the state and 1
counties to wipe out all taxes that '
have been delinquent for a specified 1
term of years, and thus enatde the I
state to meet at least in part its out- '
standing indebtedness. It is stated at
the office of the state aOditor that
there are probably $4,000,000 due the
state, much of which has been stand
ing on the books for years and some ,
of which will probably never be paid :
unless some measures more potent for
collection of the state’s revenues is en
acted than has ever yet been provided.
At the same time the state has an
outstanding indebtedness of about $1.
250,000, which seems in no fair way to
be paid unless a method is invented
by which the state may realize upon
the old taxes due it. Estimates that
have been prepared show that there
Is now due the state and its various
counties in delinquent taxes something
like $8,000,000. Taxes have in many
instances been allowed to accomulate
until it. is often impossible to find any
one willing to take the land and agree
to psy the taxes, thus rendering such
properties of no service to the state
in raming Its necessary annual reve
Tiues.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations from South Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOfTH OMAHA.
CATTI.X5—There were only u few bunch
es of cornfeil steers on sale anil packers
took hold more freely than they have of
late, and the market could safely be
quoted steady to strong. There was noth
ing in the yards that showed much qual
ity. so that a test of the market on that
class of cornfeds wr ; not made. The
cow trade was ulso active and strong,
fanners continued to sell to good advan
tage, and sales were made all the way
from strong to a dime higher. Grass
cows of good quality were also In good
demand at strong to a dime higher prices.
Hulls, veal calves and stags sold freely
at fully steady prices. The extremely low
prices at which stockcrs and feeders were
offered on Wednesday enabled speculators
to clean up the big bulk of the stock.
As a result there was quite a demand for
fresh supplies, and as receipts were lim
ited the market ruled active nnd a little
stronger for anything tit all desirable.
Common cattle did not show any im
provement. There were very few western
beef steers on sale, but the murket could
safely be quoted fully steady. Range
cows were in active demand and the mar
ket was strong to a dime higher! Range
Stockers and feeders also sold freely at
stronger prices where the quality was
satisfactory. •
HOGS—There was rather a light run of
hogs and the market improved a little.
Trading started out on a basis of about
lV4c advance and sales were made all the
way from strong to a nickel higher. The
bulk of the sales went from $6.00 to $6.05.
Trading was fairly active nnd as offer
ings were moderate it was not long be
fore the bulk was disposed of. The late
arrivals sold fully as well as the earlier
sales, but there was not quotable change
from start to finish. The improvement
carries the average above the $6.00 mark
once more.

“FREE TRADE” IS THEIR CRY.
Liberal Leaders Talk of Sugar Con
vention at Cobden Club.
LONDON—The annual banquet of
the Cobden club, which was held Fri
day evening, resolved itself into a
great demonstration of the liberal
leaders. Lord Spencer, Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman and others spoke
against the government’s protectionist
tendencies in general and the sugar
convention in particular. This sound
ing anew of the liberal war cry, “free
trade," has provoked much newspa
per comment. Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman declared that the liberal
party would oppose by every means In
their power the bills relating to the
sugar convention.
A conservative paper points out that
out of 323 members of the Cobden club
242 are foreigners domiciled abroad
whilst of the remainder many are for
eigners residing here, and therefore
the club is in no way representative
of British opinion.
