The city and county tax amounts to (925 per annum , and nhl * . the saloonlsts claim , la more than they can pay under the pres ent circumstances.

A strong pressure Is being brought to bear upon the cly officials to Induce them to take some action by which th Omaha Bridge anil Terminal company may be enabled to resume th. work which was so suddenly In- turupted by the Injunction proceedings. The controversy between the city and the com pany seems to be confined to the question of taxation , th. ' city claiming that the company should settle the city's demands before being grunted any privileges. The company , and seme of the leading citizens not Interested except as citizens , are urging thj officials to let the company proceed with Its Improve- mei ta , nnd let the courts decide the tax question. They argue that the city Is a little uhort Just noxv on Improvements of all kinds , and that a lib ral policy should bo followed In the treatment of anybody and everybody who feels Inclined to expend money along any legitimate line which will tend to give the unemployed a ben tit. The worklngmcn , while lees philosophic In their pleadings , are ivcn more enthusiastic , and hotly picture the ohtcliito need of employment of soim sort to drive uff the wolf. The company has made Itself especially In favor with the laborers by keeping Us promise to cm- ploy none but Council Bluffs worklngm.n on this side of the river. All the various pleadings seem to revolve about the csntral ono that the city officials In striving to force the company to a set tlement of the tax cnntrov. rsy outside of the courts are gaining nothing toward the aicnmpllshment of the purpose , nnd ot the same time they are staying Improvements wl.lch cannot but be beneficial to ths city. Tip worklngmcn say the company can wait foi the slow grinding of the cases In court , but that tholr stomachs can't. It Is not unlikely that the pressure may cause the city to como to some agreement by which the work may go on without the rights of the city being jeopardized. Solil I''rHKtM vTnteh. A watch belonging to Hon. Nick Fritz of I'ender. Neb. , was sold by Sheriff Hazcn yesterday at public auction to satisfy a judg ment of $114 agaliibt him held by A. W. Askwlth. The judgment Is something like twenty-five years old , and represents the cost of a wooden leg fcr which Fritz de clined to pay. H had dropped out of sight fur various reasons , and was outlawed ac cording to the statutes of Nebraska when its existence was discovered , so that It could not bo transcrlpted across the Missouri. Askwlth caught Fritz last summer when he happened to visit Council Bluffs and had him taken before Judg ? Smith for an examination as to hlu effects. The result of the examination was that a gold watch which Fritz carried with him was seized. It has bsen In the pos session of the sheriff over sine ? until yester day. Dick Hoist , acting for Fritz , put In a bid of $29.40 , and the watch was knocked down to him. This Just pays the costs K > far and the judgment Is consequently as large as It ever was. Askwlth states that he will begin an action In Nebraska for tha rest of the amount. There Is no use of his wait ing for another visit from Fritz to Council Bluffs , for hereafter Nebraska's cx-senatcr will undoubtedly leave his valuables behind him before crossing the Big Muddy. with Wife Harry West , a shoemaker who lives at 71S Washington avenue , was arrested yesterday afternoon on the charge of beating his wife , Dora West. For some thus they have been living apart , on account of West's inability to let the flowing bowl evaporate of Its own accord. Mrs. West has been In Kansas City. When she came home she claims West was on his muscle and destroyed her peace of mind by giving her a besting. West was ar rested by Officer Murphy yesterday after noon as he was putting up some bills for ths opera house at the corner of Broadway and Sixth street. He was very wrathy when notified that there was a warrant out for him and denied that thera was anything In the charge. Ho said he was merely the victim of rplte work. West Jumped Into some little local promi nence about a year ago by being arrested on the charge of setting flre to the Ogden livery s.table. He was discharged for lack of evi dence. _ AI IliickivHB HOOK Fret * . Al Rackwltz was given a trial In the dis trict court ycyterday on the charge of steal ing a fish met from J. P. Kramer. The staje showed that the net was stolen from Kramer's corncrlb , and afterwards found In Rnckwltz's mother's possession. Rackwltz told the police that he had found It In the willows near Manawa. He called on Kramer nnd tried to effect a settlement , offering to pay him for his trouble and give him back the fish net If he would dismiss the case. The circumstantial evidence was rather strong , but there was no direct evidence- prove his guilt. The Jury took the case nt 3 p. in. , nnd at 8 o'clock last evening re turned a verdict of acquittal. The case against Tom Brown , who was Im plicated with Rackwltz In the alleged thaft , was dismissed by County Attorney Saunders without trial. Ice Good music at the First Avenue rink to night.

The fellows In town had warned him so ho knew All about hr that she boasted al most as many victims as rim had frtcndt , am that her smiles and her wiles were fcr all Indeed , rome ono had mentioned caeuslly relates the Booton Post , that she had thirteen on her list during the summer , and that one regarded thirteen as an unlucky number am was on the lookout fcr another who flioul < break the spell. "And I'm hanged If I'll bo that on ? ! " he said to himself. So ho was quite ready foi her when ho was presented on the coo verandah of tbe hotel , but he wis not pro- pareJ fcr her beauty , th ? glancing light o ! her eyes , and the glint of her hair , nor for the proud young grace cf her form -and the charming fit and exquisite taste ot her gar ments. "Why didn't they tell me she was such a binuty ? " he askeJ himself as he bowed But , possibly , like the sirens of old , she had lured them all on and then left them so mis erably In the lurch that they could no longer see her beauty. "Forewarned Is forearmed , " he mentally remarked. He felt llko n warrior chief advancing wllh bent crwt and iMvercd ppear to mtcl his fee on equal ground. There was much pomp , and many civilities were exchanged ; but , although all was 10 calm nnd serene Just now , It was to be wur to the knife presently. "I am very glad , Indeed , to meel you , Mlsa Adalr , " ho mid. "I have heard so much about you from people whom 1 know. " "Have you , really , Mr. Remington ? I hope they haven't been faying anything veiy dread ful about me. " "Not at all , I assure you. They have only b n saying the mart complimentary things ; how could they do othetwlse ? " Mlm Ailalr laughed nnd twirled her wMte parasol. "I hope you arc going to be a little kind to me , " went en the young man , "for I am only to be herea short time , nnd wo have so many mutual frlMids. " "What constitutes boinf ; kind ? " "Permitting mo to take Borne pleasant strolls with you , or drives , If you prefer , and favlng some dances for me In the even ings ; also allowing me to present you with a bunch of tlioos swsot peas that are btomlng > ; o fragrantly In that shop across the way. " Again Miss Adalr laughed. "But I call that being kind to me , " she argued , not ungraciously. And so It all bgan. But unlike her other victims whom she had led on by her arch snillci' and enchanting graces , till ! one was fighting her with her own weapons. There was ever the recollection of that hideous fourteenth before his eyes ; and never , for a moment , did he forget that she was play- Ing. Ing.He He lured her on by every charm a man could exercise , lie never so much as glanced at another ; he was always nt her beck and call , always praising , always approving. Hav ing gone much Into the society of women , ho had learned their whims and knew what they" liked ; and for the benefit of this fair Circe he exercised his lore. He humored her fancies ; ho never saw the beauties of nature for the greater attractions of her face ; ho promptly forgot every one to whom she presented him ; he stood and waited for her , holding her fan , while she danced ; and wherever she expressed the slightest desire to go he was always at her side In an In stant , fully equipped to escort her. Ah , how sh ? smiled upon him In those sum mer days , and how her eyes brightened at his approach ! She would leave any ooterle or gathering , however entertaining , to winder on the beach with him and play out her game r hearts. There were times bah ! what a fool he was ! when he wished that It was not all frivolity. And there were1 other times but , of course , this was utterly Idiotic when he believed It was < not nil frivolity , after all. For Instance , there was one evening when there was a yachting party In the moon light , and when he and she had sat apart from the others In the shadow of the rigging. Her cool hand had stolen close to his of Its own accord , and she had looked up , bewltch- Ingly , Into his cyes _ , andr-buvthere { ! he was not going to admit' that he' bad fallen into the net , as the other poor fools had done- . At last the end came that hateful day when the calendar recorded the fact that his holiday was over , and thai he must leave this sylvan retreat for the dull , dusty , alley-llko streets In the city. Was it by accident or design that she never had looked so well as she did that last morning , In her pink frock , In the gar den chair out under the trees ? Ho came toward her with outstretched hand. "I've come' to say goodby , " he said. "Goodby ? " "Yes , and to nsk you to forgive me. " "Forgive you ? " "I am afraid that perhaps my part In the little comedy lias bored you. " "Bored me ? " she repeated his words , dreamily. "You see , " ho went on , "I know that you and I have been playing a little game. You well , you are yourself. It has been very good of you to put up with me so long. Your fame as a please forgive me a flirt had reached me , and I determined to fight you with your own weapons. Aftdr all It had been very jolly and don't you think we can shako hands and cry quits ? " Slowly , quietly , she rose from her chair and cast upon him ono withering , blighting glance that swept over him from crown to toe. Then , holding herself right royally , and gathering up her draperies that they might not even touch him as she passed , she swept by him Into the house. Remington went back to his office ; but somehow , during those dull , listless Sep tember days that followed , as he sat with briefs and legal documents before him , the figures danced and capered before his eyes , and the affairs of his client went clean out of his mind. Ho was asking himself for the millionth Lime if he could possibly have made a mis take. MOTH Bit OF MX 13 TIIIPM3TS. The neiiinrUnhlc Family of * n Cali fornia AVoiiian. In an almost Inaccessible mountain fast ness In Mendoclno county , California , elgh- : een miles northeast of Ukluh , Is the home of nlno children , all triplets. The mother of this remarkable family Is Mrs. George Walters. All the children arc well and happy and the last trio , are as healthy a set of youngsters as can be found any where. The Walters home Is In on out-of-the-way > art of the Mendoclno forest district , says .ho San Francisco Examiner , Two of the sets of triplets were by Mrs. Walters' first tusband , Orvllle Orrln Oates , a Mlesourlan , Three years clapstd between the birth cf the Irst and second triplets , and twelve years jetwcen the birth of the second and third sets , Mrs. Walters' maiden name was Ellen Glalno Emmery , She was born In Quebec about 1855. She met her husband during the Centennial exposition at Philadelphia. After their marriage they moved to Alton , Mo. It was at Alton In 1879 the first triplets were born. They were named Wheeler ilenry , James Rutherford and Martha Clirls- Ino , being two boys nnd ono girl. The family moved to California In the fall of 1880 and settled first In Inyo county. From there they moved to the Little Bear valley , San Bernadlno county. There , In October , 1SS2 , the second triplets were born. They were all girls , and were named Matilda Ann , Rbccca Elizabeth and Mary Louise. Wh'le ' out on a prospecting tour seeking a fortune for his fast growing family Mr. Oateo became lost In the vast deeerts of western Arizona , and was never again iear < ! from. The widow then determined to move to the upper part of the state with icr six children. They traveled north by easy stages and on the way uli& met Mr , Walters. He helped her and her children along the way , proposed marriage and was promptly accepted , They kept on their journey north , seeking 'or some faraway valley , where they could set up their home. They found It In the ocatlon already described. There. In June , .894 , the- last triplets were born. Tluy were named Grover Eldreil , Jacper Otis and Ruth Ellen. The children of the first two sets of trip- eta do not resemble one another at all , but ho last , the babies , look so much alike that hey cannot be told apart. The- only way to distinguish them Is to dress them differently , and when put to bed they wear different ilnds of nltftit dresses to that the mother n the morning can tell which Is which.

The prison at Knoxvllle , To mi. , was nn Iron cage In a big room , whose window had no sign ot n glass , and through the long winter Clark and Hoy- nolds were confined there. Kor Mveral months they suffered the agonies of the damned. At last as the time for Reynolds' execution approached It was noticed that he was going crazy. Clark declares to this day that Reynolds did not touch n morrcl of food for three weeks. He would moan and sigh and twirl his thumbs after the manner ot a crazy person , recognizing no one nnd laughing Incancly In Clark's face whenever he tried to console him. Clark was sure of his Insanity , Army purgcons and local physl * clans passed upon ths case and Reynolds was finally dlschirged as a lunatic. Clark's friends Anally secured his release and hurried him out of Knoxvllle. Two entered n carriage with him two of his old soldiers and drove toward the mountain ? as hard as possible In the dead of night. Reaching a house In a dense forest they stopped and asked him to follow them to a back room. Ths halls were darkened , nnd In the room thcro was only the light of a candle. On the bed In the corner lay a man , moaning , sighing , twirling Ills thumbs and giving other evidences of Insanity. Clark recognized Reynolds. "Poor , poor fellow , " he told , leaning over the lieutenant to rtroko his forehead. A tear came In his eye as he looked at the wreck of his faithful officer. One ot the soldiers shut the door , locked It and approached the bedside. "It's all right , Reynolds , this Is the cap tain , " he whispered. Reynolds tore off the blanket , sprang up with a glad cry and threw his arms around Clark's neck. "Great God , captain , didn't I do It well ? " he said , Thsy made all possible linsto and eoon reached New Orleans , where Clark felt that Reynolds would be comparatively safe. One night as they left the opera and had reached a lamp In the street an officer touched Clark on the shoulder. "I want you , " he said. "Make no fuss about It , but lome quietly. " Clark pinched Reynolds' arm and signified that he must fly. The lieutenant needed no second warning. Then Clark asked the o Ul cer what he was wanted for. "Hanging , " said the latter. "I have been on your trail for three weeks. " "But maybe you have the wrong man. My name Is Reuben Clark. " The officer toolt from his pocket a photo graph of Reynolds and examined It and Clark under the lamp. Instantly he saw his mistake and began to swear. "That Is the likeness of my friend , who has Just left us , " said Clark , coolly. "His name Is " "Reynolds ! " shouted the officer. I've got the wrong man ! " Well , Reynolds was never caught. He Is living In Memphis today , and has grown rich. Clark Is rich , too , but that long term In the Iron' cage affected his mind and he Is the most absent-minded man In America.
