identity untlor llio nunio of Charles Julia *
port , Invoked tlio nld of the police in n
btMircli for liig wlfo , who hnd dcsortod
him and \vni supposed to bo hi Uinahn.
He .said that he was engaged in the con-
fi'ctlonery business at Lincoln and had a
family consisting of a wlfo and u little
baby just , a year old. Ho had always en
joyed pleasant domestic relations until
about two weeks ago , when Ids wife
showed signs of bolng discontented with
her rather humble lot and finally threat
encd to leave him. He did not mijinose
she had any intention of carrying her
threat into evectition until a week a/o / ho
went home from his work and found his
wife had gone away and left their baby
withonta word. Iliumidc investigation bat
found no clue to her whereabouts until
on Monday he received word that .she
was in Omaha in evil associationsand ho
decided to comn at once and look I'm her ,
He pnvo an accurate description of the
woman , and an olllccr was f-ent to assist
him in Ids search. The erring wife was
soon located in the house of ill shape
kept by His Stella Young on rom-lucntli
street. When Johnson entered the place
he was met by Ida wife , who was nggod
out In the most approved style of the
beauties of the lower order. Ho ga/.ctt
nt her a moment , and then t.'tkinj ; her
Into his arms buist into tears. The
woman appeared very penilent.and asked
for her baby and forgiveness , and prom
ised to return with her hushanu to the
homo she had deserted and disgraced.
Her ponilonoo was not of the lasting
order however. Wlulo she was packing
licr trunk the other inmates of the place
persuaded her to change her mind , and
instead of returninir to her husband
ready to start on the journey liome , she
came with the chilling information that
she had decided to stay where
ahe was. Her hurib.itul had not hcen very
good to her at her honm anyway , and sliu
guessed , on the whole , she wouldn't ' tsxko
any stock in his promises of reform , but
would let him go homo alone. 'I he an
nouncement crushed Johnson completely
and , after a vain endeavor to get the
policeman to help him remove the woman
by foree , he left the house , lie will re
turn to Lincoln to-day unless he can jn-
iiu.cc Ids wife to change her mind again.

Councilman Scrhoedcr , the chronic ob
jector of the city fathers , issulleringfrom
a severe cold and can scarcely speak
above a. whispor. He was very quiet last
evening , and the business of the council
was disposed of in something over an
hour less than the usual time. The council
met at 7.DOo'clock as a board of equaliza
tion. A report was made recommending
the asscMincut of private properly to de
fray the expanse of opening , widening
and extending certain streets.
Air. Dailoy opposed the adoption of the
report on the ground that the council hail
no authority to assess back on prop
erty to cover the cost of private properly
appionriatcd forslieut purposes. In some
cases ho thought the assessment to prop
erty wore greater than the benefits Unit
would accrue to such properly by & trout
extensions and improvements.
t _ City Attorney Council thought the
matter ot the council's authority to make
such assessment could not be questioned.
The levies hail been very carefully coli-
Fidered by the council and he thought
that the assessment had boon very justly
and equally made.
After considerable discussion the re
port was adopted and the council met for
regular business with all of the membeis
iiresunt except Mr. MainiHe. The fol-
louing business was tran > aetcil :

An amendment mado'was the insertion
of a section authorizing'the council to
regulate the construction of buildings.
The section was framed in compliance
with the building Inspector's ordinance

The public library section of tlio old

a clause authorizing tlio city to purchase
real estate and construct thu necessary
buildings for a public library.
Some time was devoted to a discussion
authorising a survey and replatling of

water was strongly in favor of this plan ,
but Mr. Popplctou opposed it on the
ground that it would cause endless
litigation. Mr. Hosowatcr lepliod that it
would not cause any part of the litiga
tion that will result if the present impor
ted lines are not corrected. After Foino
further tlbctission the amendment was
adopted.
No change was made in the sections
relative to the apportionment ot taxes
and the plan of asse-'smen ; . On the
question of general taxes a lengthy dis
cussion arose. Mr. bmytho olYbrcd a
proposition that the tirst $ . 100 of each
manV property bo exempt. Ho liopod by
this plan to cqnuli/o the taxes so ihnl the
poor man will not bo required to pay
moro than his share. Various objections
were urged to this , tlte chief one being
that the state law expressly provides that
taxation on real and personal propeitv
shall be uniform and no exemptions can
bo made without a change ot the state
law. Alter a great deal of discussion
definite action was postponed , and the
committee adjourned to meet at U o'clook
this afternoon. Thbcommittee expect to
complete the work of revision to-morrow.

A most 2iijoyablo and unique Christ
nias Riitcitaiinnunt was given Monday
night at the Southwest Prc-sbyterlan
church. At an early hour all the scats were
occupied by a happy throng of children
and their friends while the older persons
found btandlng room at a premium. The
e\crci > > os were opened \ylti ) singing and
the school was led in prayer by Jr. Mil-
roy , tiuvoral recitations \yoro glvon by
the members of Mrs. Crosby's infant
class with great credit to tlii'insclvcs and
their tuauhcr Thu iMiws'1 Kollcy s\ng : a

a few brief remai Ks. The uchool sang a
Christinai carol and the i thn superin

and buo if they > could not

bring snmo presents for tlio gcltool , A
committco was appointed by the unaui
inous vote of the astonished boys and
girls who wcro beginning to fear that
tlioy wtro going to DO left without any
thing. The committee proceeded to
Fairy-land and called at tlio homo of
Santa Clans ) , n beautiful evergreen fairy
cottage that stood in the corner of the
room , with a silver door bell at the door.
After admiring the elegant homo they held
a brief consultation as to bow they should
proceed. At hut they nmstored up
courage to ring the door Loll , but no one
responded , again they aug it , when they
wcro terribly frightened by two little
grizzled dwurls who came rushing out
irom the side entrance and demanded
What they wanted. They told their er
rand , but the dwarfs protested that Santa
Ciaus had givcu till his presents away
and had nothing left tor them. They iu-
bislcd upon seeing dear old Santa aim-
bclf , but tuo dwur/s refused to disturb
him and went back into the
houjc. They rantr the door-bell
again vigorously when suddenly old
Santa popped up out of the chimney mid
in n grim voice demanded what they
wanted ,
Though I hey wcro scared nearly to
death , yet they plucked up enough
courage to tell how he had forgotten the
Southwest school , and bcirgcd him to
bring something , for what would the in
fant c'nss ' say , and what would the older
scholars say. The Fairy Qtmon herself
appeared with lior beautiful crown and
fairy wand. She sang an enchanting
song , and then inquired what all tlio
trouble was about. San'/a told her all
about it. She said Ihatthrro was a small
supply of candy , nuts ami cakes in the
palace. Santa ordered the dwarfs logo
and bring it. They hastened away and
soon returned loaded down with a gen
erous treat , and returned with tl e over
joyed committco to the school. Of course
the scholars rejoiced when they saw the
treat coming , for limy had almost given
up all hope of gelling anything After a
song the cvercisos were closed with
prayer by the Hov. J. M. Wilson , of the
Castellar Street church.
