HALF YEARLY PAYMENTS NOW BEING MADE lcllntiiriit ) | Mat U Grcntly lleilnceil mill the I'riiNiicctN Arc thnte.xt Vcnr'n Levy n'lll Ainu lie Cut Dnwn. The city treasury was enriched yesterday by the addition of JO,800 , , representing the tax collections at the office of the county treasurer for the rronth of October. A few days ago the stun of $ CO,000 carao from the same source. Thrso collections represent a portion of the last half of the annual tax levy. The other half Is paid In the spring. Taxes become duo January 1 each ( year , and delinquent after March 1. If the first half ls paid prior to March 1 the remainder can run until October 1 without the penalty attaching. This makes February and Sep tember the two paying months of the year. Very few people think of paying the first half until the last few days of February , and It Is very rarely that a dollar Is paid on the last half during the summer months. The November collections will bo very light anil the next lift the city treasury will get will come In January when the returns from the annual delinquent sale will be turned over. Last year this amounted to $24,000 , but It will not be quite so large this year owing to the greatly reduced' size of the list of delinquents. The recent amounts received Into the treasury could have been used with excellent effect In disputing the claims made by J , J. Shea that the city has exceeded Its limit of constitutional Indebtedness. The total Income from direct taxation next > car will bo somewhat less than this year. The levy Is 'only ' 27'Xs mills for all purposes , which Includes the park nnd library levies. With a total valuation of only $1,600,000 this will only bring In $126,500. The levy Is based upon only 25 per cent of the tup- posed real value of the city 'property ' listed for taxation. This low valuation makes the rate of taxation appear to bo much hiqher than It really Is. There will be a strong effort made this winter to change ihe methods of fixing property valuations nnd cause It to bo listed somewhere nearer Its real value. ACTIOAOAI.VST - \ \ ATTOHM3V.

The civil and criminal docket for the term Is unusually large , and the session will be the longest of the year. The event of the opening day , Tuesday , was the beginning of disbarment proceedings against cne of the oldest members of the county bar In the eastern part of the county , Charles II. Con verse. The charges against Converse have been pending a long time , and relate to his conduct In a case In whhh he was defendant end Mrs. Margaret Poote , a widow , was plain tiff. Converse bought the widow's farm , which Is located near Oakland , where the attorney lived for many years prior to taking up his residence In Avoca. The farm was alleged to have been worth considerably more than was paid by Converse , and the claim was made that this ras through the sharp practice and superior knowledge of the , attcrney. Mrs. Footo brought suit to recover tha difference In the real value acid the amount paid. Converse was her agent at the time , and in her petition when the suit was commenced she alleged that he had betrayed her confidence nnd effected the sale by fraud. In the trial of the case the attorney won , and nothing Irregular was shown. When a motion for a new trial came on for argu ment some rather sensational developments occurred. It was shown that an affidavit made by a man named Tolletson was decid edly Irregular. The allegation was first made that Tollotson was a myth , but It was after- waru suown tn < u no was a wen digger living la the eastern part of the county , and that ho had been engaged to go to Burlington Junction. In Missouri , for the purpose of ap pearing before a notary there as a resident of that locality. The attorney for Mrs. Foote , Frank Shlnn. brought the Missouri notary to Avoca , and It Is alleged had him Identify the well digger , whose real name Is Roy. The matter was partly Inquired Into at the last term of court , and Judge Thornell ordered the well digger to be brought before him. but he could not bo found. Dur ing vacation the affidavit disappeared from the flies In the oulco of the clerk of the courts , and Converse Is charged with hav ing taken It and destroyed It. This consti tutes a separate charge against him. An other charge Is based on the allegation that he altered an affidavit made by Court Re porter Gaston In a case that ho was taking to the supreme court. Attorney Converse will bo given a hearing before Judge Smith during the present term and will bo given ample opportunity to dis prove the serious charges made against him. 1C 11 1 1 < i r .to flic Muyar'n Acttnn.

The Thanksgiving donations at the Chris tian homo promise to bo of a most generous character , and will relieve the pressing necea- elUfe of the Institution , For several months the weekly receipts have been considerably IcEfl than the current expcnss , and there has grown up ft largo deficit.

Thomas White , an eccentric old man who has been living alone In a shanty on grounds belonging to the Milwaukee Hallway com- pmy on Seventh street between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues , had n narrow escape from being blirncd to death Ir.st. night. Ills house caught flro'by eome means , and before It was noticed by people In the vicinity It \wis wrapped In flames. . .The old man , crated at the sight of his llttlo homo and .ill of Its contents being destroyed , was making the most heroic * efforts to get the things out. When ho entered the burning building the last time the room was a furnace , nnd he was ( illicitly overcome by the heat and smoke. When taken out he was nearly suffocated. He had to be restrained by force from plunging Into the fire. When the department had extinguished the ( Ire the people who had gathered turned their attention to the old man , who was crying bitterly and talking In the original Celtic tongue. An examination showed that his hands were badly burned. Ho was taken to an adjoining residence and a physician called. The burns on his hands were found to bo very deep nnd severe , and It was feared that he also Inhaled the 'flames. He was partially unconscious and was unable to tell how the fire caught. ItfildiiMl 1 > y Ji Woman. John Madison , a Danish citizen of Craig , Mo. , came to the city yesterday to look after some property interests here. Last evening he took n stroll around town , nnd on the corner of Broadway and Klghth street he fell Into the company of a dusky feint Ic known to the police as Ella Clark. After Madison parted from the charmer ho discovered that his pocketbook contain ing a certldoUo of deposit for $100 and $17.03 In cash was missing. Hlla was still In sight going north on 'Eighth street In the vicinity of Mynster , and the man from Missouri gave chase. A wordy war and a scullle ensued when they met , and Officer Bcswlck was attracted. Both cre taken to the station. The woman was searched , but the missing 'wallet was not discovered. The officer re turned to the locality where the last meetIng - Ing had occurred and ! found the purse lying In the grass , where the woman had thrown It. Madlsrn gave a perfect description of It before It left the officer's possession , and cleared up any doubt as to his ownership of It. The -woman was booked with larceny from the person and will be held for trial In the police court today. Madison was over joyed when he dlscivered that not a thing was missing from his wallet. OliNorvnncc. Thanksgiving will bo observed today in general and the majority of the business houses will be closed all day.

Thn trio were drinking In a lower Broadway saloon when Conrad succeeded in gettnlg his hands Into Taylor's pockets and taking out $2.50. The < robbery wau quickly detected and Con rad was held until the patrol wagon was called. Before the officer came ho was taken over to No. 2 hose house to await thd w.igou , and while under guard ho endeavored to get irld of the money by dropping It on the floor. Captain Antry saw the act and picked up the money and held It until It was turned ; over to the police.

( Special. ) With the people of Iowa It Is always out of ono political campaign and Into another. The state election over , the congressional outlook for next year demands attention. Iowa's eleven congressmen nro all repub licans. Hon. S. M. 'Clark of Kcokuk , for the First district , has announced that at Uie ex piration of his preacnt term ho will ask no more. Ex-Mayor F. T. Hughes of Kcokuk Is understood ! to be a candidate for the nomina tion , and rumors concern two or three others as possibilities. i In the Second George M. Curtis , tlie Clin ton millionaire lumberman , will probably hive no opposition for a nomination. In , the Third there Is an outbreak of dis affection with Henderson. Postofficcs are nt the bottom ! of much of It. iMr. Henderson has had almost unlimited difficulties In distribu tions of the places , and ono of the cases was at Waterloo. His appointment seemed to pleato nobody except the man who got the office. Lieutenant Governor Parrott , W. H. Torbert of Dubuque , J. H. Funk of Hardln county , William A. Knight of Dubuque and several others have been proposed ns candi dates. Tlio Fourth district promises ono of the hottest contests of all. Tom Updegraff , after a1 bitter struggle , defeated James E. Blythe last year for the nomination. Ex-Governor Larrabeo sided with Uic Updegraff people nnd his Influence ) was an Important factor. Updo- graff even went to the extent of making an open fight this year against Dr. Daubney , re publican candidate for the state senate In the Howard-Wlnneshlek district , because Daub- noy had been a Blythe man ; and Daubney was defeated , too , In a strongly republican district. Some time agii Updcgraff st'ld ' that ho would have retired this term but that his retirement would likely have meant the nomination of Blythe. Ex-Congressman W. E. Fuller , ex-Governor Larrabee , Senator Trowin nnd others have been discussed as possibilities. In the Fifth district Bob Cousins has no opposition and every prospect of a unanimous renomination. The Sixth district Is ono of the uncer tain ones politically. John F. Laccy carried It last fall after a hard fight against Fred E. White , later on nominated by the fusionIsts - Ists for governor. Licoyvlll have a fight for renomination. H. L. Waterman of Ottumwa expected tot bo a candidate for the republican nomination' , but since hs ! defeat for the state senate at "the recent election It is considered somewhat uncertain whether ho will continue ai can'dldate. The Seventh , the DCS Molnes district , will have the fight of isaorover again , or one very much likeIt. . Captain J.J A. T. Hull will be a candidate to succeed himself. James G. Bcrryhlll , who failed against Captain Hull last year ; Mayor Jtfhn 'MacVicar of Des Molnes , who has been trdwlng very fast Into a political star of the first magnitude ; State Senator W. H. Berry of Indlanola , W. C. Payne of Nevada and two or three other pos sibilities ate discussed. There Is also talk of an alliance * the " between "Berryhlll-Mac- Vicar forces and the folfowers of A. B. Cum- of as the candidate. ' ' In the Eighth district W. P. Hepburn , In cumbent , will have n fight In the convention and at the polls. Hepburn was always re garded as a silver man till 1896 , when he became an ardent gold man. The republicans of the district are strongly tinctured with silver sentiment , and didn't like this. M. L. Temple of Osceola , author of the famous umendment that bears his name , Is regarded as the probable candidate against Hepburn In the convention. The Ninth district , of which Council Bluffs Is the political nnd commercial capital , has ono of the most complicated situations of all. A. L. 'Hager ' was nominated In 1S9U after a long nnd bitter fight , which could have been turned at any time to defeat him If his opponents had not been Jealous of ono another and decided that one moro term .of Hager was better than to start a now man for two or three terms. The same Jealousy may carry 'Hagcr through again. Smith McPherson and Senator J. > M. Junkln of Red Oak , H. G. Curtis of Atlantic , W. 'H. ' iByers of 'Harlaii ' , speaker of the house last winter , and others are candidates for the nomina tion , 'Hager ' will probably bo 'beaten. ' The Tenth district will renomlnato J. P. Dolllvcr , for his sixth term , without oposl- tlon. tlon.Tho The big Eleventh or Sioux City district Is another lighting district. George D. Per kins Is serving1 his fourth term , and he has fought for his nomination three times , each tlmo with I. S. Struble of LeMars as his leading opponent. Stmblo has served four terms , and In 1S90 asked a fifth nomination. There was a general ocramblc , and Perkins landed It. The district Is overwhelmingly republican , but it Is also full of ambltloun statesmen. Strublo 1s still a candidate ; Frank H. Hclsell of Sioux Rapids , hereto fore a Perkins man in all contests , In said to have cut loose and to bo out for the nomination on his own account ; State Sena tor.A. B. Funk , who was a candidate for the republican nomination for governor last summer. Is talked of as a likely com promise candidate In case of a fight of great length ; Edgar E. Mack of Storm Lake , once chairman of the state committee ; H. B. Wyman of Sheldon , who alwaya comes In with his own county's delegation , nnd ono or two others , are rolled on to help make things Interesting. If Perkins Is defeated , Holscll Is likely to win , irvuHiiGiiouNn uivnii i.v IOWA. Part of n Illui-k Hinrk County Kni-iii Full Into ( In * Illililfii Slrciini , WATERLOO , la. , Nov. 24.
