Objections to His Permit Bnssd on His Violation of SELLS WHISKY AS A BEVERAGE TcNlliuoiiy Ili'fiirp Hie 1.1 IT n we llnnril Very IJlrcrt oil TlilH Point ntul lllruufly Denied tiy the Applicant. The license board spent the entire fore noon yesterday In hearing evidence on the protest of 13. Ho.'cwatcr agalnat the issuance of a druggist's license to W. J. Shnuler at 1C02 North Twenty-fourth strcst. The pro test alleged that the applicant had sold llqtioMi ay a. beverage during 1S9T and had nleo done bus ! new without a license during IMS. In support of the protest two witnesses were called who testified that they had pur chased a bottle of whisky at Shradcrs' Etoro about 9 o'clock on the evening of De cember 26. This wno the Sunday following Christmas. Both witnesses swore positively that Shrndcr had sold the liquor In person. Ho nsked the witness who asKcd fur thu liquor If he had a bottle and on his noga- tlvo reply ho put the liquor In a bunyadl bottle nnd wrapped It up. Ho did not ask the purchaser for his name nor for what purpose the liquor was wanted. In hU own defense Mr. Hhrnder declared that ho was In the store nt the time mcn- tloiicd , but that ho did not remember that lie had seen the witnesses. He repeated thU statement several times and finally decla.vd that they were not In the store at that time. In submitting the case Mr. Slmeral , for the remonstrant , called attention to the fact that It was notorious that some of the drug stores In tl.o suburban districts were doing a saloon business under a druggist's license. He de- cfared that the Djloon uton were compelled to pay $1,000 a jear for their licenses and If the drug ( itorrs were to be permitted to run a sa onn business and sell whlaky , especially on Sunday , when the saloons wcro required to close. It would be better to do away with the saloons entirely and let the drug stores handle the liquor buslncca , as was the case In Kansas end other prohibition states. In reviewing the evidence ho alluded to the manner In which the applicant had denied the testimony of the previous witnesses and suggested that In passing on the merits of the two statements the baard should consider the motives behind them. Mr. Shradcr was the defendant In the case and manifestly hag < i otrong motive for declaring that ho had not eold the liquor. Hut his statement vas op posed by the direct and poalthe evidence of two witnesses who had no motive for mis representing the facts. He contended that It was time that a halt was called on the prac tice of turning drug store * Into saloons and tli.it the present case furnished the board with an excellent opportunity to put a stop to It. The argument of the attorney for the ap plicant was alnicst entirely "devoted " to the most rabid abuse of the witnesses who had testified against Shradcr. He viciously at tacked their Integrity and asked the board to Uellcvo that everyone was committing per jury except his client. The board then took the casr under advisement until the proof of publication was filed.

The county commissioners met In ad journed session yesterday and dleporcd of the licit Line rJllroad tax matter. The dis position was along the lines Indicated In The Bee yesterday. The company afirees to pay the county and city taxns on a basis ot a val uation of $6,000 per mile. U Is also agreed that the back taxes , -iggrcKatlng 12,407.07 , shall be paid forthwith. The county Is to stipulate that alt suits heretofore brought to collect these back taxes shall be dismissed. The bond of the National Bank ot Com- mcrco for the care and custody of county money was presented and referred. The bond was signed by J. H. Kvnns nnd George E. Darker , both olllcers of the bank. The bank would pay 3 per cent on balances. County Treasurer Hctmrod asked that he ho given the u e of the two rooms In the court house now occupied by County Attor ney Baldrlge. These rooms were formerly occupied by the county treasurer , but some years ago , when the reassignment of rooma was made , they were turned over to the county attorney for unices. The request of County Treasurer Hctmrod was referred for consideration. I. H. Andrews protested against the pay ment ot a tax , alleging that he had no knowledge of Its having been as'59aed against his property. The commissioners held that the protest was not gnoJ. as It Is the duty of every citizen to ascertain for himself whether or not his property lo assessed. Notice was received that Dawes county had brought suit against Douglas county for ifliil for the care ot Ezra Erway , an Insane person. Rtld to bo a Douglas county resident. By the adoption of a resolution offered by Commissioner Harte , Herman Cromwell was appointed Janitor nt the court houso. to suc ceed N. _ P.

Clerk Frank of tlio district court reported 3250 in hie hands , as fines In the case of the State against Berlin and others of South Omaha. Register of Deeds Crocker asked that the clerk of the district court report to him all mortgages discharged by reason of decrees In foreclosure having been entered by the Judges of the district court. The next meeting of the board will be held next Monday morning nt 10:30 : o'clock. T1II3 ADVliltTISI.VG I'MIdll. Me HUM HM Hy < > Klxril on Oiimlia In QiifHt of Victims. . Expositions and fake schemes are supposed to llourhh at the- same time and place. A gentleman who recently returned from the cast states that all of the program fiends. the directory men and all kinds of fake schemers -ire heading for Omaha. It has been the experience of all cltle.3 where expositions have beqn held to be- over run by transient solicitors , with all sorts ot advertising devices , who , by their Im portunities for business , have made the .Ives of the merchants almost Intolerable. For fully two. years before the World's fair opened at Chicago , It Is stated on good authority , each advertiser of that city was visited cci an average by a solicitor once each thirty minutes during each busl- nets day. Had each solicitor presented a medium by the aid of which the public could have been reached and Influenced , there would have been some compensation for the. Ices of time and detraction from business , but when we consider that fully nine-tenths of the schemes presented were simply con cocted for the purpose of fleecing the unwary Business man , It becomes n ser.ous matter Omaha Is on the threshold of Just such an experience. Indeed , the vanguard of this arm } of fakirs id already on the ground. Last week two of perhaps the worst of this class eucceesfully worked u number of our merchants. Their scheme \\as to secure ad vertisements to be printed on blotting paper of the uoual clzc for dedka In business houses They represented , when soliciting , that 10- 000 blotters would be printed and that 400 of them would be delivered to each of the first class hotels of the city , nnd the bilance so distributed as to give the widest publicity to the advertising placed upon them , and this IB the way they carried out their con tract : U has been learned from reliable pourccf that the advcrt'83ments ' wcro printed , but that only 100 of these blotters were dls- rlbuted , instead of 10,000. They charged an the way from $4 to ? S for spaces upon the blotter , varying In price , according to the size of the epace. They were very careful to collect the money just as soon as they secured a proof to show publication. In one or two Instances they were asked to ohow proof of the number printed , cad , as If they atitlclpitcd such an action on the part ot the advert eers , they Immediately proJuced a letter from the printer , which stated that blotters had been printed at Ills establish ment , but the letter failed to state how many. The advertiser. In ono tostanco at least , refused to accept such evidence as con clusive , and refused to pay his bill. The party took the trouble to send an employe of his establishment to each of the hotels , but failed to find any evidence of the blotters in question , or any expectation of the delivery of blotters , such as was promised the ad- vertluars , among the hotel people. He then went to the printer and was equally un- succefsful In learning anything definite about the missing blotters. The advertiser refused to ray the original promoters of the achome , on the ground that they had not carried out their part of the contract. In a few days , however , the printer's collector called and very urgently demanded the pay ment of the bill , claiming lila employer , the printer , had purchased the bill , and being an Innocent party , could not vouch for or consider promises made by the other party. The advertiser In question Is determined to withhold payment until the contract Is fulfilled , which be Is perfectly Justified In doing. This oxatnple fully Illustrates all of the no-called fake scholars. They are so much allko and so simple In their modus opcrandl that ono Is reminded of the old f < riper and the confUenco man. No one for a moment believes that such a Eclicmo fpr publicity would Influence a ElngU buyer and I will not do any reputable mcichanl the Injustice to believe that they expect returns from such advertising , The order Is given without consideration , moro to get rid of a present annoyance than through the hope of being benefited. If It could bo known how many dollars are squan dered In this direction In every city each year It would astound the average merchant. If thcro was any need for this expenditure the merchant could bear It with better gracu. The rciredy lies with the merchants them- solve * . If they will refuse to patronize thcfce schemes they cannot succeed , and very FQ-U any city could be purged from this octopus which draws In everything end gives nut nothing. Wheel nny scheme which is not clearly understood or wnlch seems of questionable character ls pro- tentud to a business man , scrutinize It carefully and , as a further precaution , call up some reputable newspaper , a reliable ad vertising man or a fellow merchant cf knonn business ability and ask his opinion , j If this were done I will venture to say that nine-tenths of these highway robbers would ! bo turned out of doors empty handed. This would not require nicro tlmo than to listen to the stereotyped slory of the jfaklr and , If persisted In , would effectually ild our city of this class of solicitors. CHAltLEti 1) .

SCIK AGAINST THE CITY Technicality in the Charter Sets Lawyers Working Enaily , HOLDERS OF WARRANTS ARE MDVING Action IlrniiKlit In Dtntrlct Court for tinIMiriinio if I'rdU-clliiK Unl- era Piiri-linxiTN of Hie Tlio National Exchange bank of Providence , H. I. , has brought cult against the city ot Omaha In an action to recover on $2,900 of jsewcr warrants Issued In 1SD3 and wfolch arc duo and unpaid. This suit Is the first of a number of suite of the same kind , all of which will be brought during the next few days. In 1S93 considerable public work was done for which the city Issued warrants , the total amount aggregating something like $100,000. Some time ags some of the holders ot the warrants aekcd the members to Introduce a. resolution In the city council waiving the statutes of limitations , but this they refused to do. AttomcjB w'.m represent the holders of the warrants Notified the holders that the charter orovlalons were not clear and that thcro was a. possibility that the collection of the warrants would be barred If suit was not brought within five years from the date of their IBSUO. It Is for this i > rotectlon that the present suit Is brought. Holders of the warrants In controversy say that they have no disposition to bring rait If 'tho city will do the square thing , but us the officers of the city refuse to refund the Indebtednet-s and also refuse to waive the statutes of limitations , there is nothing left for them to do but to sue and secure a Judgment. The warrants draw 7 per cent Interest and the judgment , when obtained , will draw the samp. VSK IIKDL'CVIO.V OK VALUATION. iiK Say Tliey Arc I/IMed Too li.v Tuv CoinnilNHlonor. The city council mot in the council cham ber yesterday afternoon from 2 to 4 p. in. to sit as n board of equalization and took up the matter of protests of the- Omaha Gas company , Omaha Street Hallway company and the Omaha Thomson-Houston Electric Llpht company , they holding that the valu ation set by the tax commissioner was too high. They asked that their valuation be reduced as follows : Gas company , from $450.000 to $1)0,000 ! ) ; Street Hnilway com pany , from $195,900 to $300,000 ; Electric Light company , from $134,900 to $100,000. Councilman Stuht moved that the assess ment stand as fixed. This brought up a general discussion upon the matter , In which Stuht fought the corporations hard. Ho held that Inasmuch as the other large corporations , Including the water company , telephone company , smelting works , Wil low Springs distillery , Dee Building com pany , New York Life and other largo own ers of property that had been assessed upon the same scale as the corporations that were asking for the reduction had made no ob jection to the valuation placed upon their property on account of the low levy promised by the council , that he could not see why the three concerns that derived more rovo- rue from the el'v t'-in any others should bo grafted a reduction. The council has piactlcally promised that this year's levy will not bo over 20 mills and Stuht held that If this reduction , which would amount to nearly $400,000 , is allowed , It would make it necessary for tbo council t'O Increase the levy several mills. Council man Karr wanted moro light upon the sub ject and It was finally agreed that the coun cil would meet Tuesday at 9 a. m. to pass upon 'the matter. The city clerk was in- btructed to notify the corporations interested to bo present and have their sworn state ments of the value of their franchises and properties ready to present to the council They will also be asked to show the state ments made to the directors of their re- spcotlvo companies on January 1 of this year. SAXI ) OX STHI3KT OAK TRACKS Vnotlior Miilitfliial Ilousckooplon Problem IK Under Coiixlilernlion. The difficulty with which some ot the down-town streets have been cleaned has led sonic of the city ofllcials to make some Investigations In rcgarj to the amount of sand and gravel th.U Is dumped on the streets by the street railway company. It Is stated that on days when ( ho tracks arc wet and slippery two wagon loads of sand n day are used on the cross-town line alone. This Is In addition to what Is sprinkled from buckets on the steepest grades , Curing a continued pedlod of wet weather the accumu lation of sand becomes quite an Item In the refuse In the gutters , and Its faculty of co hesion with the Ice makes the conglomera tion very difficult to clear away. No official action has been taken , but It Is suggested that some scheme should bo applied that would do away with the necessity of using such an amount of sand. If this could be successfully accomplished , It would not only sivo a good deal of work for the street cleaning force , but would prevent the wearIng - Ing away of rails and colling stock by the gritty particles.
