If business continues at Its prtient rapid
pace Iouls Hlohodlsky ho of Ninth street
tenement fnmc will need a bunch of private
eecretarles to help him keep his official
lUttB, Ever since City Treasurer Hennlnga
Inaugurated his crusade for the collection
of pcrflonnl taxes a few weeks ago a large
proportion of court house and city hall Ink
baa been connumcd In writing Slobodlsky's
name.
Tho lateat epoch In Slobodlsky's atormy
career occurred In Judge KeyBor'a court yes
terday, when tho dlvorco case of "Heatrlee
Slobodlaky against Louis Slobodlaky" was
called for trial. Neither aide being ready,
he case was postponed Indefinitely, there
la a rumor that a reconciliation may be
brought nbout, hut official verification is
lacking.
. Mrs. Slobodlsky Instituted divorce pro
ceeding last October, long before the name
of Slobodlaky became notorious. The casual
observer would never mtspect that Louis
aiobodlsky figured In a romance, but he did,
and this divorce ease. Is tho ttcquel. Thrco
yearn ago Slobodlaky met Miss Ileatrlcc
Hunter, a young drctatnaker, conceded to
be ona of tho most Rtriklngly beautiful
women In Omaha. It wae a case of Instan
taneous love, such aa la depicted In story
bookx. Slobodlaky and Miss Hunter went
to Council nluffs on tho afternoon of Oc
tober 23, 1SA8, and were married. Unllko
the story book version, they did not "live
'happily over after," but on tho contrary,
their bark atruck atormy seas, If tho con
tent of 'Mrs. Slobodlsky's divorce polltlon
may bo taken a an Index.
Tho petitioner alleges tint on the night
of February 15, 189!, her husband locked
her out of the house and refused her admit
tame. Subsequently, so ahe alleges, he
ripped J150 worth of her line drcssea Into
nhrcdK such as farmers' wvt use for car
pot rags. It Is further alleged that he
made himself generally disagreeable, heap
ing varloua accusations upon his pretty
young wife.
In concluding her petition, Mrs. Slobo
dltky sola forth that her husband derives at
least 15 per day from tho rental of tene
ment houses; that ho owns their $5,000
residence at 2522 Wirt street, and that ho
has a largo income from other source.
This recitation la preliminary to an appeal
to tho court for a liberal allowance of
alimony. 'Mrs. Slobodlaky did not appear In
court yesterday, her attorney being
there to represent her. SlobodUky's at
torney was also present. As to tho ru
mored reconciliation, the attornoys do
ollncd to make positive Htatcments.
While this was going on In Judgo Key
or's court a local piano firm was hur
riedly Instituting replevin proceedings
against City Treasurer Hcnnlngs to recover
poj-nemilon of a piano, which It was al
leged was seized with other property for
tho payment of Slobodlsky'H personal
taxes. Tho piano firm sets forth that tho
Instrument wa only leased to Slobodlaky.
Only two days ago Slobodlsky was be
fore Judge Dickinson In an effort to enjoin
the city treasurer from further Interfcrenco
with the collection of rents of the Ninth
iitreet tenement houses and final settlement
of that question Is. still pending, with possi

"hold-up" of a street car on the Twenty

A flvei years' leuse has been made and It Is
reliably stated that Mr. Cahn will derive ap

of tho lease. The removal of tho Union Pa

No detail has been overlooked that will

of the new home of the Union Pacific's city

Tho main entrance will be from a tiled

this entrance to the east wall on Farnam

Tho Rock Island road ihas Just received
twenty-two mammoth new engines, con
structed for both speed and power, which
will be put Into service on the fast freight
and passenger trains running between Chi
cago, Kansas City nnd Omaha. It is esti
mated that they will be ablo easily to pull
a train of from twelvo to fourteen heavy
Pullman sleepers at an average speed of
fifty miles nn hour.
Tho purchase of these largo locomotives
was made ncccshary by tho heavy trains
which the Rock Inland Is now hauling on
Its line between Chicago and the Missouri
river. They weigh about liSO.qjp pounds and
are of the compound ten-wheeler t)pe and
from tho pilot to the rear draw-bar they
measure sixty-four feet. The tender carries
5.600 gallons of water and ten tons of coal.
In every detail the engines are of late pat
tern, equipped with all modern safety ap-
plhiuccH, Including electric headlights,
Working tn Itmlorc llnti-s.
One of tho objects of tho present meeting
of tho Western Passenger asoclatlon In
Chicago Is to reach an agreement. If pofsl
ble. that will prevent tho slaughtering of
rates for the transportation of government
troops returning from tho Philippines. The
old pooling ogreemcnt has gone to pieces,
owing to tho refusal of the roads which
carried tho largest proportion of the busl-
nesn to turn over part of their earnings
from that sourco to tho other lines. Most
of the roads which carried the troops have
already settled with the government on the
basis of party rates, leb the land grant.
As matters now stand, tho government
can get much lower rates than It was com
pelled to pay for the transportation of troops
during tho Cuban war, and it in to do away
with this condition or artolrs that the pas
senger men are now discussing tho proposi
tion.

NUISANCES TO BE ABATED

INVESTIGATION ALREADY UNDER WAY

and the Hxiii'iine CliiirMril AkiiIiiM
(Inner nf the .tlnloilnrfiim
Property.
With the coming cf warm weather the
health department hns entered upon nn ac
tive crusado against tho existence of various
stagnant pools and similar nuluiincr which
under tho Influence of a ummor sun might
become n menace to the health of tht com
munity. A number of complaints have been I
received from persons who believe they are
exposed to noxloun Influences nnd those nro
being Investigated by a sanitary olllcer. The j
official ay they will go to tbo full length
authorized by tho ordinance nnd If neces
sary order work done, charging the necee
sary expense to the property owner con
cerned. One of the moet heartfelt protests against
an alleged nulsanco cume to the- health office
yesterday from Hugh Myero, president of
the Patriotic league. The complainant says:
"Tho pond of water where tho Philippine
vlllago was located during the exposition Is
full, foul and unhiMlthful. It emits a com
bination of 'muscular' odors AUfflclent to
drive rut out of a sewer. Microbes per
meate tho atmosphere for a radius of seven
blocks. The hole is filled with burned hay,
dead rats, ilog and the stomachs of water
buffalCM."
Another protest is voiced by William
Fleming, tax commissioner, II. A. Doud
and other residents of the neighborhood
nround 313 and Ulti North Twcnty-tiflh
ntreet. Two cottage at that location llo
four feet beneath the street and the surface
water has converted the back yards Into
ponds. "The condition of this property Ih
a disgrace," says tho lomplaint. "It la a
monaco to the health of the neighbor and
an eyesore to tho passersby. We ask that
tho nuisance be abated as roon as possible.'
Tho bakci' strike first camn to the otll
clal notice of the health office yesterday
in the form of u vigorous complaint from
Mrs. niomberg, 26H1 North Twenty-fifth
street. Mrs. Illombcrg, who was provided
with cvldcnco In the form of a loaf of
bread, Hodden and strenked with varloiib
foreign substances, nsserted that sho had
sent a child for the loaf to tho butcher shop
nt 1916 North Twenty-fourth xtrect. When
it was Inld upon her table, Mrs. Hlomberg
eald, tho loaf was instrumental in remov
ing her appetito for breakfast. She nt onco
Hint tho emissary back to the hhop to make
demand for tho nickle, but the butcher as
numeil an arrogant tone nnd affirmed that
tho bread was good enough for Mrs. Hlom
berg or nnybody olsc. Mrs. Hlomberg ap
pealed to tho health commissioner as to
his opinion as a bread expert.
Ilr. Coffman ocrutlnlzed tho loaf carefully
and thrust hl lingers Into Itu Interior. After
deliberation, ho returned the verdict that
while tho bread was not quite up to what
his mother utcd to make, ho still would bo
unablu to condemn it in unqualified terms.
He added that an occasional nibble at such
a loaf had sustained his mortal part through
a week's campaign during his service as an
armv surgeon. Tho butcher will not bo
i molested.

TREASURER IS ENCOURAGED
Uellmiurnt Tnin)rm CoiiiIiik Into
IIIh Oflli-c nl Scllllnn Tlirlr
Aocou nt.
The city treasurer Is much encouraged
with the progrces being made In tho col
lection of personal taxes. Taxpayers nto
coming to realize, he says, the Justice of the
obligation and the final necessity of its
payment. During tho first fifteen days in
the present month moro than twice as much
has been collected as during the whole
thirty-one days of May, 1S9D. Tho amount
ko far received In May is )6,S34.41 against
2,265.36 In tho month of May one year
ago.
The city treasurer believes thnt the total
collections for this month will amount to
$20,000. Tho three collectors newly em
ployed are not as yet thoroughly familiar
with their routes and tho best methods of
getting results. Many delinquents also arc
making promises to pay later in the month
and with the weapon of the distress war
rant always In sight many of these will bo
made good. Cleft: Anderson Is now In
charge of the personal tax collections and
his time is occupied In laying out routes
as tho names appear In the book over
looking neither largo nor small delinquents,
and In keeping the records of moneys paid
In.
Although it Is not a fair comparison to set
the collections of fifteen days this month
with thirty-ono a year ago, the figures are
still heavily In favor of the present year.
The yeara given reprtsent the period for
which the tax Is paid In. The table pre
pared by the treasurer Is as fallows:
