lU-ntrico's Waterworks Inspected.
BEATIIICI : , Nob. , May 17. [ 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. In au lotcrvidw'iio says it
is good working order , running steadily and
with no pounding that amounts to anything.
Ho says , emphatically , that the engineer is a
good mnn , ono who understands his business
and that ho is kcoylng the machinery In good
shape , intimating strongly that if ho.is . dis
charged here ho could readily got _ oraploy-
'
niont at the Omaha works. 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.

_ Over the Cataract ,
When 'tho bravo Stanley and his
tireless followers were pushing tholr
way into Central Africa , they came ono
day to the bank of a mighty river.
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.
