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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
