[ Special Tolo- Krnm to THE Bni.J : Frank Reynolds , chiot ouglnccr of the waterworks at Omaha , and who has been In the business forty , years , lias been hero , to-day , by request 'of the mayor , examining the machinery at pumping station.

The test of the fillers is now going on , but for the past few ' days the filters have not boon running , the agent of the some saying ho would not allow them to bo used on account of th'o unsteady running of the pumps. Uoynolds says there is no reason why the Alters should not bo running nnd that ttio action of the pumps is all right Now that the river is muddy , is just the tlmo the water needs to bo filtered , nnd the very tlmo the city wants to know if the filters will do the work properly. It looks as though the filter company were afraid to stand the test. The mayor now says the lest is off , and that the filter company-must fulfil their contract before the filters are paid for. Filter uouds of $10,000 have boon voted for. The Occupation Tnk Unjust. GOTTENHUHO , Nob. , May , ! ? . To tho" Editor of Tin ; BEE : One of the most unjust and , I might say , outrageous systems of taxation , is what is known in Nebraska as the "occu pation tax. " While the young rnan'who has a llttlo laid by through his extra exertions and perseverance to start a little business of his own , has this tax to pay , ho who enjoys the advantage of working on a salary IB exempt from it. Now , it seems to mo , al though my judgment may count lor naught , that the first thing our legislators should strive for in this law-making , is to make a tax just and equitable for all. Ana it is any thing but just that the mnn who works for himself should endure this wild system of robbery and he whoso income may bo double that of the farmer should bo entirely exempt. The lawyer and teacher pays none , but the physician must coma up with the tax. The clergyman and mechanics nro exempt , but the poor ono-horso concern , with not a dollar haraly invested in his business , must pay almost as much as the merchant whoso busi ness runs In the thousands. Now , tills is far from just , and if such an obnoxious tax must exist fix it so that its weight must bo felt by all. ' ' Tlio Willis Murder Trial. WXnoo , Nob1 , May 17.

Footsore and weary they quickly launch their boats , and find rest and ohango in floating upon the smooth surface of the stream. Soon , however , the watchful eye of the great explorer sees unmistakable signs of the noar'prosonco of u cataract. The current grows swift , tiny bubbles iloat by. The signal is given to land , and the party socks safety on the low , shelving bank. Ono daring spirit , however , pushes his little cnnoo into the middle of the stream and gees resolutely forward , with the seeming intention of finding whether the river is navigable. In vain his comrades shout and ges ticulate , rushing wildly along the river bank in pursuit. Not until the loud thunder of falling water breaks upon his ear docs ho attempt to turn. Alas , it is too.lato. The oars nro wrenched from his hands , the boat it * tossed wildly about , a more atom in the soothing waters , and in n brief moment , which sooma an f.go to the lookers on. It"is , dashed to pieces against a huge Divider on the very brink of n frightfiH.precipice. In vuin our comrades' kindly warning us of otirj. danger.
