TAXPAYERS LEAVE MONEY
Trenwurcr'w llrc-Hpt for I'lrwt Unit of
Jnne Three Times n CI rent nn
.Sntue I'erloil l.uwt Yenr.
The early payment of taxes this yotr
shows that Omaha taxpayers have more
money than they have had In former years
and do not proposo to allow taxes to be
come delinquent, lletwecn June 1 and June
15 of the present year the receipt of the
city treasurer's ofllce have been three timet
as great as they were In 189!. During the
two weeks between June 1 nnd June 15 of
1899 the personal taxes paid amounted to
$2,554.90 'and the tnr.es paid on real prop
erty amounted to $42,507.93, a total of 45,
362.S3. For tho corresponding period of
this year tho receipts on personal property
have been $2 1, S3 1.70, the taxes paid realty
amount to J0S.C30.O5, ranking a total of
JI22.S70.75. Tho entire Increase for tho
period Is $77,507.90.
City Treasurer Kenning announced sev
eral days ago that all tax lists and checks
for taxes must bo deposited at his olllco by
June 20 to prevent taxes from becoming de
linquent July 1. Tho early payment of taxes
Is In part due to this announcement. The
city records show that for many years tax
paycM have been In the habit of delaying
the payment of their taxes until July 1 and
have made no effort to get their money In
any earlier.

I The suit of 1'. J. Crcdon against John N

prolonged controversies In the history of I
' the Douglas county bar, came to an end
1 yesterday. Judge I'awcett deciding In the
. main fnr tho defendant. The suit was to col- .
lect a bill of Jit. COO, alleged to b due fort
' extras In the conrtruction of the residence I
nnd stables at Happy Hollow. The case 1i:m '
, occupied the docket of the district court In j
' one form or another since IS'jO. Tho oral j
testimony occupies 6,000 pages and flits six
. volumes. Tho time of Judge Kawcett has
been occupleJ almost entirely with the
final hearing for the last four weeks.
Tho building wae completed by Con- 1
tractor Credon In 1SS9 tor a contract price of
$33,000. In addition he presented a bill of
extras for $35,000, of which $21,500 was paid. !
When Credon demanded tho balance Pat- ;
rick averred that he had already overpaid !
the contractor $S,000. After a legal con
troversy of three years a referee was up-
pointed nnd ninety dayH wero consumed In
the taking of testimony. In April, 1S9S,
the referco decided that Credon had been
overpaid In the amount of 1493.69.
Tho time from that date to April of this
year was consumed In tho filing of various
motions by both sides. Tho present hear
ing was on the motion of tho defendant to
confirm the finding of the referee and ut
tho plaintiff to try tho caso anew. The
motions were argued at length and the final
decision of Judge Fawcett U that the referee
should have allowed the defendant $330.55
more than ho actually did.

Mlehiiel Mullen Wants the BiiIIiIIiik
Inspector Called OfT.
In Judge Slabaugh'fl court yesterday
Michael Mullen made an effort to stay the
destroying hand of tho building Inspector
nnd his deputies. He asked In n demurrer
that the proceedings nsalnst his variety
theater at Sixteenth and Davenport streets
bo dismissed. The city Is at this time seek
ing a mandamus from the district court di
recting Slullen to tear down his resort aa a
lire monaco In accordance with the provi
sional permit Issued to him. The Judge will
announce on Slonday whether tho city's pe
tition Is to be ruled out of court.
In pleading for tho recognition of the
demurrer Attorney Knabe for Sir. Slullen
urged that tho city had not shown In tho
petition any specific Injury borne by It as
the result of tho alleged nuisance com
plained of. He said that tho city must prove
that It was put to some distinct Inconven
ience or hardship. Sir. Knabe read from a
number of authorities In support of his
claim.
City Attorney Connell responded that tho
city was unllkj any ordinary Individual In
that It was vested with additional rights
and powers by charter. He said there was,
no question as to the city's authority to
abate a nuisance by force or otherwise, the
only contention In tho present caso being
whether tho Slullen summer garden camo
under that term. That point, he said, In
volved a question of fact which could only
be shown by testimony. He believed the
city's attitude in tho present case to be
perfectly valid and proper.

George B. Slorton has brought suit against
Charles L. Hedges to recover $5,000 which
he claims to have paid to the defendant un
der a misapprehension. Slorton says that
while In St. Louis last winter be read the
advertisement of Hedges, who desired to
sell out his insurance business. Upon in
quiry Slorton was Informed that the busi
ness was worth $400 per month In clear
profit and that Hedges would require a $5.
000 inducement before be would part with It.
.Morton made an Inspection of Hedges' books,
but, from his ignorance of insurance mat
ters, gays he was obliged to accept In large
part Hedges' word.
Slorton bought the business In January
under the Impression that he would act as
agent for several large lines and grow rich
at a gratifying rate. As he becamo better
acquainted with bis purchase, however, he
found that It was far less fruitful than he
had supposed. Several of the companies for
which he believed himself agent proved to
havo other arrangements In force.
Of tho money paid $2,500 was In cash and
tho balance In notes. When tho above show
lug was made Judge Dickinson granted a
temporary restraining order to prevent the
transfer of the notes by Hedges. The plain
tiff further asks that ho be reimbursed In
tho full amount of his purchase.

CENSUS WORK IS
fxpicted Results from the Rd M?morrdi
Failed to Material z..
WERE FILLED IN TOO CARELESSLY '
Slips Returned Without .Numbers and
Mrccl anil Are Absolutely
Worthies to the Muper-
Innr'n Clerks,
To tho casual observer tho oRlce of the su
pervisor of tho census yesterday pre
sented an appearance of the'greatest confu
sion, but those who understand what is be
ing done say that tho work would be prac
tically closed last nlsht. Of the 105 enumer
ators employed In the city all but thirty
three bad made their final reports nt noon
Of these several had tent In their portfolios
only to bo ordered to tako them back nnd
add nanus omitted from the list. ,
Tho little red memoranda arc not giving ,
the results th.it were expected. While many I
names have been added to the list the care- '
K-.sniHs with which they have been pre
pared Is causing no end of trouble and It
would require the entire forco a week to
traco somo of tho uddresscs supplied. In
many cases the street numbers have been
omitted and In many the names of the streets
do not appear. These arc absolutely worth
less and It Is almost Impossible to sort
them out so that they mny be referred to
tho proper enumerators. The work of many
of tho enumerators comes In for criticism,
and It Is estimated that 1,000 or more people
havo been missed. Every effort will be
made to place these names upon the roll,
but It will be dono by tbo special agents.

"I was somewhat disappointed In finding
tho exposition so Incomplete and could
hardly pass Judgment upon It as a whole.
When I last aw the exposition, June 1, sev
eral sections were still Inaccessible to visi
tors because the floors of the buildings had
not been put In force. Slany features, how
ever, are fine beyond comparison.
"We ran acrois quite a number of Omaha
people one night at tho opera, finding eight
accidentally seated almost In a group. Wo
saw Sir. and Sirs. Fred Nash. Sam Slegcath
and Sir. and Sirs. G. W. Megeath, Dr. Hoff- ,
man and Emll Brandela. Another episode j
that recalled Nebraska presented In the
horticulture building where our admiration ,
was attracted by nn exhibit of beautiful ap
ples which on Inquiry we found came from
Arlington, Neb., within a few miles of our
home. The photographs of the Omaha pub
lic library embraced In the library exhibit
also caught our eyes by their familiar ap
pearance." PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
