TO SET ASIDE ASSESSMENTS
J, J. Steadman and F. 0. GImb Will Fight
Paving Proportion in Court.
CLAIM OVERRULED BY CITY COUNCIL
Point In llnlurd Thnt ."tendninn Dis
poses of n. lilt of I.nnil for
Kiprcit Purpose of Kvntl
ln the Tax,
J. J, Stcndmau and F. C. Glass, who filed
protests against tho assessments for the
paving on Hroadway between Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets, havo gone Into court
with petitions asking that the assessment be
set aside as void and Illegal. The property
Involved consists of four lots In Hohrer's !
subdivision, lying Immediately west of
Twelfth street on the south side of Hroad
way, Tho case Is of more than ordinary
Interest, as tho protests (lied by Steadman ,
and Glass wero overruled by the city council ,
on tho grounds, ns alleged, that Steadman
had disposed of a smalt portion of the four
lots for the express purpose of evading the
paving assessment.
Shortly after the city council decided to
pavo this portion of Hroadway and before
the contract was formally awarded, J, J.
Steadman as trustee for himself, J, P.
Orcenshlclds and Frank F. Kverest con
veyed to F. C. Glass a fifteen-foot strip
across the front cndB of the four lotB, leav
ing the south elghty-flva feet In possession
of Steadman. The contract for the paving
wns awnrded to Wlckhnm July 23, 1900, and
tho deed from Steadman to Glass was filed
for record July 17, 1900, the consideration
named being $150.
At tho time the protests were up before
tho cjty council tho aldermen contended
that the conveyance of the fifteen-foot strip
was not In good faltn, but merely for the
purpose of evading the paving tax. Inves
tigation made by lorao of tho aldermen
failed to reveal the name of F. C. Glass In
tho city directory, nor could they learn
anything about htm.
The assessment for the' paving against
the lots was fixed at $150 for lot 1 and at
$125 for tho other three. Steadman In his
petition alleges that tho assessment Is Il
legal nnd void for the reason that no part
of his property nbuts on the street so
paved and consequently the Improvement
Is of no benefit to his holdings. Ho alleges
further that the city council assessed the
cost of the curbing to tho north fifteen feet
of the four lots and that the city thereby
determined whut part of tho lots is liable
for tho Improvement assessments and that
the method of assessment cannot now be
changed by tho city council.
Glass In his petition contends that the
assessment Is illegal and void for the reason
that It does not fix tho proportion thereof
assessed against and to be paid by tho fifteen-foot
strip of the four lots alleged to
bo owned by him. Glass raises tho ques
tion of tho right of tho city to assess prop
erty for the cost of keeping paving In re
pair for a term of Ave years.
It Is said that Steadman. Greenshlelda
and Kverest bought the four lots about the
time tho Illinois Central wart acquiring
property In that vicinity, hoping to bo able
to dispose of them nt a good profit to the
railroad company. The railroad company,
however, did not require the ground nnd
tho speculation turned out a bad one for
Steadman and his partners.

Is a proposed chnngo In the law relating
to tax ferrets bo that the work of passing

system Is now In use In a majority ot tho
counties of the state and Is causing much
trouble, although It Is resulting In the
payment of largo sums to the counties and

Denr Sirs; Your wonderful medicine
has dona great things for me, I was trou
bled with stomach troublo for ten years,
tried everything I heard of, had doctors
without any effect whatever, until one day
I came into Dirk Ilros.' drug store and
they recommended
DR. CALDWELL'S
SYRUP PEPSIN
I used four bottles and am entirely well;,
can eat almost anything without nurting
my stomach in the least. I think anybody
iuffering with stomach trouble can be cured
by using Dr. Caldwell's Syrup of Pepsin.
Truly yours,

Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is the only pure, reliable akoltolic timttlanl to
administer to patients in cases o gfip, consumption, dyspepsia, sencral rtebil
ity, nervousness, weak heart and low fevers.

Gcntltmtn: It has been about one
year since I first began to use Duffy's ,
Pure Malt Whiskey both in prescrip
tion and laboratory work in this insti
tution, I find it n most effectual,
invigorating, alcoholic stimulant, and
preler it to any other, as I believe it
to be absolutely pure. Its action on the fjeneral economy and the entire
system is more effective than any other whiskey I have tried, and our patients
take more kindly to it. As long as the quality remains at the present stan
dard I shall always use it wherever an alcoholic stimulant is required, especially
in that class of convalescents who need what we call "predigested foods.'' I
find from experience that Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey acts gently, not vigor
ously, on the digestive system. We will always use it to the exclusion of all
others on account of its absolute purity and the excellent results we hava
received from its use. Iam, Very kindly. H. P. FAIIRN1JY, M.P.

is very mild. The patient can retain
it when all other stimulants fail. I
