Only n few 'lays ago United States Attorney -

A similar reply was given by Assistant
County Attorney Day to a letter front
County Clerk Ilaverly.
: In consequence all Instruments filed have
borne , In addition to the grailuated stamp
tax ( or the instrunient proper , one 10-cent
. stamp for the endorsement by the register
: or the ilcrk anti another for the
acknowledgement of the notary. lInt a
circular has Just come from the United
States Treasury department , under date of
July 21 , givIng the latest rulings of In.
ternal Itevenue Commissioner Scott on thin
very subject. Section 43. page 117 of this
chrculnr rends :
Certificates of ncknowlvdgcincnt of ( leeds
and mortgages arc not requIred to he
stamped. Tlu' memorandum en the back
of a ( Iced or mortgage , made by the register
or recorder , that the Instrument has been
placed upon record , Is not a subject of taxa-
tion. It Is iot a certificate nictt as is contemplated -
templated by law. It Is a brief unto on tbe
back of the deed or mortgage citing date
of filing and ( late anti place of record.
And section 45 says : "The ordinary
notary's juent th not required to ho
' atarnpe(1. ( "
, Mr. Crocker says ho will not ask any
. person to put the stamps on the endorse-
.
. xncnts anti notarlal ncltnowlcdgcrncnts In the
. light of this decision , but It they want to
be on the sate side , as the decisions are
somewhat conflicting , they may do so.
CommissIoner Scott made these rulings on
, July 13.
All the afternoon , however , Mr. Crockei
labored on the problem as to whether his
endorsement and the notarial aclcnowledg-
mont should thavo stamps affixed or not.
When his omen ciosed for the day ho was
still In doubt.
h'4ome ' Other Ohilniusis.
What made the problem so perplexing
: 'was the peculiarity of the Nebraska lawa
coupled wIth the declaration by General.
SolicItorWhlflani It. Kelly of the Union
Pacific that the language of the revenue act
ought to govern trannartions rather than
any ruling of the Internal revenue coxnrnis-
stoner. lIx-Suprorno Judge George B , Lake
. liati also given an off-hand opinion to the
effect that ho courts would determine
lnnlly , not the commissioner , anti that they
might not pay much attention to what the
commissioner lied ruled. Judge Lake
thought th9 certificate of acknowledgment
made by the notaries would come under the
saw. tbougi ho was doubtful if the reg-
stor'a endorsement ( lid. Mr. Crocker had
Iteard of several other views more or lees
; sit variance , and with the opinion of United
tatcs Attorney Sawyer offset by the ruling
. of Commissioner Scott of the 13th Inst. , ho
halted between the position taken by Mr.
1olly and the inference reached by Judge
Lake. Taking the lawn of this tate and
the revenue act together it would seem , ho
thought , that the endorsement by the regIster -
Ister on the back of a deed might be con-
, aldered ha coming under the act requiring
to be stamped all "certiflates not otherwise -
wise specithed. " lie would like a positive
opinion on this partloular point.
Sebrasica's SgntuteM.
Ife prodt'cc sections 2164 and 2170 , pages
434 and 43& of the Laws of ISU& , to bhow
that in this state the endorsement on the
Oced is deemed a "certificate. " The furmer
aection inferentially makes such na ca
doraement a certlflcato where it requires
. the register to use lila seal on "all cortill-
, cates except such at are required to be
endorsed on the Instruments flied for record
n lila olhice , " and the later section specifies
vhat the nature of this endoraenient shall

Finally. there ivan section 4104 , page 873 ,
at the Compiled Statutes of 1897. of this
, tate , ( lefining a notary's "certtflcat " of
acknowledgment as follows :
lIvery oiiieer ivbo shall make the ne-

were concerned tto could not sea the reason
for a ruling by the tommissioner that a

Iii canes of loans on real estate , where
promissory notes are given which are not

nloii of time of payment is granted without

Jitte III OlILLIU ,
Offlcfals of the Omaha terminal lines , and
others intcreated in railway matters , read
the report of the council's committee meeting -
ing with considerable interest , The attempt
of an unknown syndicate to get possession
of twenty-nine acres of hand near the river
at the foot of Nicholas street has given rise
to the report among railroaders that another
railroad is necking an entrance here , and
this belief appears to be welt founded by the
few facts that are known ,
The syndicate that is after the land Is not
the East Omaha Land company proper.
Several of the men interested in the East
Omaha Land company are also interested
in the syndicate Ihat Is nxcecdingly
slesirious of securing the property mentioned -
tioned , bit the latter is a separate organiza-
Lion , and is a vary close corporation. Those
who are connected with it are likewise very
close-mouthed and nay that premature
publication of their plans would Jepordizo
their interests. General Manager John It.
Webster of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal
raihs'ny , the central corporation of the
East Omaha concern , declines to say anything -
thing about the deal. Clinches J. Greene is
looking after the legal husiness of the
syndicate , and he spent some time during
the morning with Mr. VanDusen , who Ia
here from the east as the special agent of
the syndicate that is seeking to obtain the
land.
land.The
The latter wan asked whether the hand
was lint wanted for railway purposes , and
in reply said : "I cannot say , I really
l < now nothing about the purposes of
the gentlemen for whom hope to
sectiro this property. That is the work cut
out for us , and what thd new owners of the
land will do with it after they get it is an'
other matter entirely. I may have my own
opinion , but I should not care to even express
that , as It would be entirely unotficial. "
In local railway circles many well informed
man cnpress the belief that the Chicago
Great Western is seeking an entrance here.
President A. 13. Stickney of that line has
said morn tItan once that lie hoped to have ft
line into Omaha some thy. It would occasion -
sion no great surprise if his line , together
with the I'ort Arthur route , should enter the
city anti make use of common terminals.
The two lines have been working together a
great. deal lately , and have formed several
junctions for the interchange of business in
Iowa. As they are not strictly competing
lines , the one looking for the eastbound
business from here , while the other cares
only for southern shipments , it may ho
readily seen how they could vork together
in entering a city. The East Omaha corn-
pany is closely associated with the Port
Arthur Route , a number of Philadelphia
capitalists being interested in both con-
corns. The I'ort Arthur Route has not
yet obtained an entrance of its own into
Omaha , and Prr'de" Stiliwell has more
than once said that when his line came In
here It would bo across the East Omaha
bridge.
Whatever railway or railways are back
of the deal now pending , It Is certain that
the East Omaha companies will soon be
enjoying a new lease of life. During the
last few years these companies have been
almost at a standstill , and the great bridge
boa remained practically Idle. With the
returp of prosperity to this section of the
west the capitalists back of the East Omaha
companies have given evidence of their intention -
tention to develop their property here to
the greatest possible extent ,

General John C. Cowit. has jtist returned

Nothing definite was decided , and further

Andy Sawyer , one of the witnesses against
William Ball , the Valley man under arrest
for selling liquor withou't license , proved a
rather amusing witness when giving his
testimony before County Judge Baxter during -
ing yesterday's session of the court.
Bali bad been arrested on complaint of
the village marshal , Peter Miller , and Justice -
tice of tim Peace Stenglein had let him
go , as ho did not deem the evidence sum-
cient to convict , The county attorney , be-
hie'ving Bali Bhould have been held , had him
rearrested , and his case had just come before -

Winter 1usd Sawyer on the stand the flrt
thing ,
Sawyer said he was fully competent to
judge liquor when lie tasted it ; that lie
had got some genuirto stuff from Ball , for
which he hind paid 10 cents a drink , but n
cross-examination by the prisoner's attor-
coy , A. J. Sullivan , he said ho had not been
allowed an opportunity to give propertcsti-
moity in the justice's court ,
"Did you not test the liquor ? " Mr. Suhhi-

"No , " was the reply ; "they didn't give
ma a chance , nad I was as dry as a chicken ,
too , "
Everybody , Including the court , seemed to
r.pprceiate the condition the witness must
have been in , with such a thirst on.
Further cross.examinntion brought out
that there had been trouble of some kind
between the children of Sawyer nod Ball ;
also that there had been a "dog fuss , " as
the witness put it , between lIsa town mar-
sIsal nod bimseh ! . The "dog fuss" had
enabled the witness to remember the par-
ticula : ' Juno day on which he had sampled
some of IJali's goods. Deecribing this episode -
sode ho explained : "The nsprshal pulled
the collar of ! my dog and the dog came
home-lie got ( ho collar auth I got the dog , "
This difficulty hail arisen over the dog tax ,
Still , the witness disclaimed any nnimuu
against any of the parties one way or tim
other.
Iii addition to Sawyer , Mr , Winter , thor-
log the afternoon , had Jalco Lewis , Consta-
isle Charles Rico and Macsisal Peter Miller
on the stand , and two bottles of amber-
colored fluid were also produccsl ,
Au regards the stui7 in thus bottles their
value as evidence wan made rather ( built-
ful by an incident that occurred when Justice -
tico iltengleln was engaged in trying the
case against Ball all one night , A bottle
of real whisky , so it was said , had been
put Ia an ice box ( Os' ireservation as damning -
ing evidence against him , but some reckless
soul , adverse to the local option stand the

it ; was replpeed by a bottle of liquid of
about the annie color , nobody can be found
wihiing to risk his conscience far enough
to swear the one now possessed by the
State is the identical article ,
Marshal Miller in bin testimony said ho
is a prohibitionist himself , and has very
little use for the man who either sells or
hiuys liquor. An effort was made to show
that Jalce Lewis hind bought a pint bottle
of whisky from Ball for Simon Rice , the
brother of the constable , but Lewis will
not say ho got It from Ball , On the side

TRADE IN BUTTER AND EGOS
Commission Merehistitis Say Business
is hirisk stud the iLrgin for
l'roiid , , 1ess.
Commission merchants in eggs anti butter
report that trade with them Is now bettor
than it was at this time a year ago. More
coeds are sold , but ots a smaller margin , so
that profits are on the average just a trifle
higher on the whole amount sold titan they
were one year ago.
sv. E. Riddehl says his trade has been
on the increase for years , anti that this year
was no exception. Upon looking at his
hooks lie finds that the net increase over
last year's sales is 40 per cent , The exposition -
position hiss made but little difference in
his trade. Oleomargarine makes a great
tllffereiico in the price of butter at the
present tinio. The law is not enforced ,
and this compels merchants to sell lmt-
ter at a much lower margin than they
would otherwiac ,
Gafford & Smeaton say their trade is bet-
tsr now in butter anl eggs than it has been
for years , "This can not ho laid to the
exposition , as the visitors leave little money
with us. Butter , eggs and poultry are
higher than last year , but sell at a smaller
profit. Eggs are one-half cent a dozen
higher than last year and butter about tim
same as before. The increased sale of
butter anti eggs Is probably due to the
high price of meat , end chickens and eggs
accordingly command a good price , and the
demand is as a rule greater than the sup-
ply. The exposition may help us later
on when the visitors stay here for a grfater
length of time' , but at present their presence
makes no material difference in our busi-
ness. Eggs will probably be steady in
price for the next thirty days and ahould
not fluctuate either way more than ono-halt
ccitt per dozen. Butter , on. the other hand ,
should be on the advance. "
James A. Clark & Co. say prices on
eggs are about 20 per cent higher than one
year ago. They also think there will be no
great advance in eggs or butter during the
near futuro. There has not been a dull day
'with them for souse time and there is a very
active demand for everything in their line
of hissiness. At times the supply has been
a trifle short , but the demand , both outside
afld in local trade , has always been steady.
Perry & Bauer say the net profits are
about equal to what they were last year , al-
thought more produce is sold by them , yet
at a lower margin of gain. the exposition has
made no difference in the trnde.
Robert Purvis says that the markets are
cleared up faster than they were at a corresponding -
responding date last year , but that profits
are less.
Fruit Not ( niii for Sailors ,
Writing from Canip Merritt , San Francisco -
cisco , 'tiark H. Evans , clerk of Co. Ii' , Slat
Iowa , says : " \\'heu I left Des Moines I
bad with me two bottles of Chamberlain's
Colic , Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. The
fruit out hero has not exactly agreed with a
majority of the hoys nod niy two bottles
have boon in great demand , so much so
that it Is all gone. " Mr. Evans has since
beau supphicti and will tuko a good lot of
tliti remedy along to the Philippine islands.
There is no danger fioni bowel complaint
when this remedy is used , it always cures.
