Tlio members have been gradually loalng lioiirt an the Inquiry accom plished no ptirjxjao nntl yesterday the at- tentlanro varlfd from two to live. They realized on Saturday thai they wore being called from their biislncsB In lend them- BelvcH to ii fnrclcal performance and would havp mljourntd If Stubl had not declared lilnieelf a reservoir of pent-up sensations and bogged for more Hint' . The drouth of factB nnn n"t relieved , however , and al noon Iho committee Blood adjourned without day. O Saturday a subpoena was Issuqd under tin- authority of Stuht , as chairman of the ccmimlttoe citing City Knglncor Ilosownter lo testify regarding the Walnut Hill grad ing and the Cumlng street paving contract. The dark spots which Stuht hoped to secure the cr'-dl of Hrourlng from the on > lal es cutcheon pertained to Councilman Mercer's record The story nf the pradliiR contract Is an an 'lent otie and has appeared exhaust ively In the publln prints f .r years. It wan dcclarci Illegal In Iho state supreme court , JIorciT and other piopcrty-owncrs gaining their I'ltitcntlon that the tax \\aa unlawfully lovleil. The controversy has bom previously made r. matter of Inquiry by the council tone no result. I nulnrer It r inly tn Ti-Nllfy. Siuht , however , us cleanser of public morals , desired to enter Into this time-worn thoiuo anil Iho city engineer In obcdlonca to L'ln 8Uininons appeared In the council chamber with an armful of documents uml charts Ho bald , however , that before ho gave testimony which might rolled upon any member of the council he wished to have that person present. Mr. Itosowntcr remake - ma-ko 1 Unit ho did not wish to be put In the utlHude of making HtatenientH behind any one's b.ick and Iti addition wished to have Mr. Mercnr present to verify or deny certain statements A subpoena was accordingly Itrmod under the nulhorlly of Stuht commanding the scr- gcant-at-arms to bring Mercer forthwith before - fore the tribunal , Mr. Mercer , however , was engaged with other mailers and refused to obey the summons. He said that Inasmuch ns there were no charges Hied against him ho failed to bee why ho should be Interro gated. Furthermore the subpoena wa Is- eued not by the committee , but by a single member whose authorlly Mercer fell was open to some doubt. In explaining hlw posillon to a lice rc- porlcr Mr. Mercer said lhal he would bo glad to obey the summons of the commltlec pro vided any specific charges were broughl al leging that hethad commuted an offense. He felt that the presenl agitation was for po- llllcal effect and he therefore wished to be able to hold hln accusers responsible. If charges were brought , Mr. Mercer said , ho would be In a position to force the com plainants to prove them or to > answer for criminal libel. When Iho sergeanl-al-arms reported to the commltlee Unit ho had read the sum mons to Mercer In vain Stuht went In fran tic search for Iho clly attorney. The legal department , through Assistant Attorney Scott , advised that If Mr. Mercer refused to ijppear thcro was no way to compel obcillenco unlebH specific charges were filed. Kvru Ihen , Mr. Scoll added , Ihero was grave doubt RB lo the authority of the committee , tituht appealed lo Ihe clly engineer lo glvn tobtlmony In spite of Mercer's absence , but Mr. Hosewater replied thai ho did not wlbh to po o as a prosecuting attorney ami had no dcUre lo relied upon anyone's conduct uulcsH ho were present. Other HoiiilnTM lut off on- . The remainder of the committee who had been Indulging Stuht's whims to what they considered a nalural limit , at this polnl look a hand. Burmcster said lhat the com- xnlltca had originally been appointed upon information Uiat the Commercial club wished lo enter certain charges. It was understood , ho wild , thai the complaints morn relative to the water works and voting machine ordinances and he , as chairman of both committees , was accordingly anx- ioua to bo vindicated. "Tho proceedings have degenerated Into a burlesque , " added Mr. nurmostcr , "and I for one an. not in favor of going Into old controversies all leady sallied before Ihe council , especially when no charges liavo been Hied as required by Iho resolution. " ( 'linrufN Muni HP Kited. Tlio resolution under which the committee lias been working was called for and read by Iho secrelary. It recites thai all per sons having compliilnti ; muni Ille them bo- foru Iho committee , together with a list of fmbstantiatlng wllncs&es. Councilman Mount albo objected to enter ing into a tedious examination of records when 110 charges were on Hie. Ho expressed the opinion that Hrlng Into the nlr was a waste of llmo and ammuiilllon. "Tho cominltleo has been in session for four days , " said Mr. Mount , "and ample op portunity has been given anyone having knowledge of unworthy practlcoii on Ihe part of the council. Unless something langl- Iblo In offered at once I want to bo allowed to attend to my business. I have person ally Inquired of members of the Commercial club whether any charges would be tiled ami they have replied that no such purpose had ever been entertained. The matter had novcr been discussed or referred to by the executive committee. " Other members of the committee gave evi- rtonco of their disgust at having been drawu Into such an imOlgnltlod proceeding through rumors given upaco by local newspapers. They felt that they had put themselves in n ridiculous light and wished to get out of it with nil possible liasto , Stuht pleaded that the rocnuilttoo meet ( or the last time tomorrow - morrow , but hl'J colleagues were firm and tbo adjournment was without day.

" Thirty-seven potly offenders , nil candl- dales for judicial clemency , stood before the police court bar yesterday and told why in their opinion they should not bo punished. It was an unusually large grist , even for blue Monday. Thcro were "vags" galore , a generous quota of "suspicious charactern" and the usual sprinkling of "drunks" and peace disturbers , but Acting 1'ollce Judge Learn dispensed justice with the adroltncHS and off-handed ease of a postmaster - master , and by 10:30 : the docket was clear. Judge Learn can always think of some thing wltly lo say to nt every emergency. For instance , in the case of John Boyd , a "drunk and disorderly , " with a grotesquely warped countenance , the Judge "called the turn" In an Instant. An ordinary police Judge might have remarked that Boyd was ugly enough to atop a clock , but Judge Learn saw that "thai mug would Irlp up a billy goal" and said > . The court room utidlonco shouted Its approval.

Collector lloutz has Just secured a new ruling on the question of the necea- slty of the use of stamps upon receipts given hy Insurance and other companies under cer tain conditions. The mailer has been before the depart ment for some time , having been brought to its altentlon by Congressman Slark of Nebraska at the request of the Illustrious I'roteclor of Ihe Royal Highlanders al Aurora. The Royal Highlanders and olher fralernal and insurance companies issued receipts for the payment of assessments and deposited them at a bank , where they wore paid , the bank holding the receipts as a voucher against the account of the deposi tors In whoso favor the receipts were drawn , and paying the money named in the receipts as though the receipts had been checks Issued by the payee. When the mailer was taken up by Mr. Stark the commissioner ruled that the re ceipts required no stamps , and when this ruling was promulgated gas companies , water works companies and ethers requiring payments of regular monthly bills took advantage of the ruling , and for the last few months in many of the largo cities of the dlstrlcl , bills of this character were paid by the bank and the receipts held as vouchers against 'the depositors' account. Under thebo clrcumalances Collector Houtz was not satisfied with Iho ruling and De cember 21 he look the matter up to the de partment , showing the wldo extent of the use of the receipts. Sunday ho received inslructlons from the commissioner over ruling the former decision and holding that a 2-cent stamp lii required upon all such rccelpls so paid by Iho bank where the In structions to the bank by the deposllor for Iho payment Is expressed or implied. ESTATE OF WILLIAM PARKS John A. Creijihton Tell * HOYT I'nrkn tint the .Money WhluhVnrn Kiuhcntril to State. John A. Crclghton takes exceptions to the story published from Council Uluffa last Saturday regarding the estate of ono Wil liam Parks , which was in litigation for name llmo in Iho Poltawatlamle county ci/urt , and which won finally escheated to the state because no legal heirs could be found. Some new claimants appeared and be cause of the lapse of tlmo an act of the lowu leglalature Is necessary before Ihey can prosccuto their claim. The attempt ol the new claimants brought out the old story. "Tho tale which conies from Council Illuffa is preposterous , " nays Mr. Crelghton. "Parka never had any Interest in the cattle which the report says he owned jointly with my brother , Edward. Ho was foreman of the outfit and before that had dug holes for mo when I put In the telegraph lines along the Union Pacific. Juet before be was killed Edward went him a sum of money with which lo pay Iho men at the ranch. Instead of doing that ho expressed the money to Council Bluffs and had It deposited to his credit , The books of Ibe express company will show that , and thin IB the money that was in the bank when ho was killed and which was in lltlgallon. "Parks was killed by Nourse , who at the same time killed a man named Atwood and shot a man named Matthias , who recov ered. My brother Edward prooccuted Nourso and ho waa given a life sentence , but was pardoned through the efforts of Governor Thayer. Parks never had any money to amount lo anything except that which he secured In the ivay I have sold. " Mortality .StiitUtlfH.

An unexpected windfall has been encoun tered by the Thurston Hides and the High School Cadets. When the Klrst Nebraska re turned from Manila Inst summer a consid erable sum was raised by eubscrlptfon for Hn entertainment while visiting Omaha and the exposition. Owing to the small proportion tion ot the regiment which could be Induced to forego the pleacuro of a vlsll lo ihclr homes and Iho brief slay In Omaha of Ihose who eamo the fund raised was found to bn considerably more than was needed. After all the expenses had been paid the commit tee of citizens , of which J. n. Uaum was chairman , found that It hnd $1,098 left. It was at flrst proposed to return this money lo Iho donors in pro rala shares , according lo the amount subscribed by each , but as many of Ihe subscriptions were small , and there were n great many of them , such a courao would entail a great deal of work , therefore nt a meeting of the committee Sat urday evening It was decided hy the com- mltteo that half ot the money should he- turned over to the Thurston miles and the other half to the High School Cadets bat talion to aid " in the equipment of the latter with guns. It Is confidently believed by the committee that this disposition of the money will glvo general satisfaction among those who donated It through a sense of patriotism.

Two gangs of men are now being utilized by the engineering departmcnl in repairIng - Ing worn or defective sccllons of the main sewerage drains. Ono squad of six work men began operations several weeks ago on Sixteenth streel near Mason , and Is working loward Ihe Intersection at Thlrteenlh and Jones streets. The'men have worked their way under ground for 1,500 feel and are making excellent progress. City Engineer Ilosewater says that the repairs are being done more cheaply and thoroughly than an ticipated. The main part of the task lies in damming the Dow and carrying It over the section under repair by means of troughs. The holes ore filled with slag , sol in Portland cement , nnd the service ot skilled laborers is not required. The only other public works now under way are two district sewers , one on Cali fornia street from Thirtieth to Thirty-sec end , and the other on 'Mason ' streel , from Eleventh 'to Thirteenth.
