The enowg of rtghfy-four winters have

Oakland. Neb., but Frederick still wUbee

aged 22, hia wife, at the earlier! poaeible
.. opportunity. Incidentally Nellie will get
the large end of 1150.000 estate.
Such ta the story that the old raun's sou
' Edwin baa brought to official tara in
, Omaha. It ia a story of a man and his
housekeeper. Mn. Renard died three years
go and was ucceed!d as housekeeper by
daughter, who was taken sick two months
go and removed from the house. Then
' Nellie came. Nellie is' no common hirej
girl, she uses cologne water, dues her hair
Hp three different nays and haa more shirt
waists than the dry goods clerk. At least
that's the Impression that has spread
, broad. for it is Bald that the venerable
Renard .lost his heart In thirty days, and
... has esssyed to resume Y youthfulneas.
And all fur Nellie!
Relatives Take a Han.
But the family, 'tie said, doesn't like
Nellie so well. Her rnlogne and her shirt
waists make no sucb hit with them. Tbey
can see ulterior motives cropping through
on ber like prickly beat on an Infant, and
they would fain put a chert on her before
ahe gets band into the old man's strong
box. To do this, application was made
ia Knox county for the appointment of a
guardian for htm. bnt such process requires
fifteen dsys notice, and the old gentleman
learned this early and started for the
license bure.au. Relatives beat him to the
court house and got out papers enjoining
the clerk from tRsulng tbe license until
after tbe expiration of the time required
'.: la the guardianship natter.
' ' Makes Caste for Urease.
But the aged Renard la sly as bis name.
That night he treked out of Oakland and
Into Tekamah, where be nearly secured the
license before his son overtook htm. Then
he made another moonlight trip to West
- Point and again all but succeeded. Finally
he has come, his son ssytf. to Omaha, and
' the two played hide-and-aeek all Tuesday,
tbe aire leading a chase as xlg-sagged as a
Chinese alley. The Junior Mr. Renard has
been to the court 'house and there related
Such parts of his story st were necessary
In persuading Clerk Morrill of tbe license
- bureau that should the old gentleman call
his request should not be too readily
- granted.
JOHN LARSON'S LONG DROP

Coaaty Hospital.
The old sequence of political ambitions
and ultimate financial and social disaster
- was unearthed In a hovel - at Zlt North
v Ninth yesterday morning. John Larson.
! formerly a man of wealth of Chicago and
- aa alderman there for many years, was
taken, lighting, growling.' snapping, from a
' den ia the cellar of tbe 'place, and after
' being forced, struggling frantically. Into an
ambulance, was carried to "the county hoa
' pltai. His wife, clothed to rags, sank ta
v the ground and wept silently, comforted by
kindly negro women, her neighbors.
" ' Now demented, afflicted with rheumatism
- and on the verge between poverty and
starvation, this man was once a power in
his neighborhood and a strong factor locally
In his party. A score of years ago be
" owned property on H aimed street, Chicago,
valued at many hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Hi standing. " Influence and
' wealth made easy his election as aldar-
nan. From that time his fete was fixed.
Larson was gullible, also ambitious, and ha
became a victim of unscrupulous colleagues
" not eo well supplied with this world's goods.
They begged hia financial aid to keep them In
tbe council, In turn promising to make
him mayor. ' This became routine. Larson
being expected to elect hot only himself,
but several others every time. Bo he grew
penniless while waiting his reward, and
. Ihea he was shelved.
The denouement of his plana waa too
... much tor the alderman to bear and ha
weakened mentally, being Incapacitated for
.- work from that time. Gradually his condi
tion and position lowered. Supported by
: friends tor a while, he sank finally out of
sight, lost amid the newer Interest of a
groat city, and four years ago he came to
Omaha with his wtfa, where they began the
life of veritable outcasts. The man, now
M years at age, has haunted the railroad
tracks by night with other gleaners, pick
ing up stray coal and wood. The wtfa,
, younger and still fairly strong, haa dons
what washing she could inveigle into sucb

CANDIDATE MXARTHY HERE

Competitor. Brooks aad
Jroal.
J. J. McCarthy of Fonca. who was Tues
day night nominated for congress by tbe
republicans of tbe Third district; George A.
Frocks of Bar.il p Mill and J. T. Jenal of
Hartington. who alfo ran. were at tbe Mil
lard, enroute to their homes from the con
vention at Fremont, and other guests st
tbe hotel aho sre not scquainted with the
result of tbe convention are laying wagers
as to who wss tbe successful candidate.
By tbe appesrscce of tbe men no one eould
tell, for a Jollier trio baa cot been in tbeee
parts for a long time. Mr. Brooks ex
presses tbe sentiments of tbe other candi
dates when be says:
"We are feeling good becauae we were
defeated by a good man. and wa feel bet
ter because we are going to elect him.
As for me, well, this running for office ia
too strenuous and I am going home and
devote the rest of my life to loking after
Mm. Prooks and the little Brooklets. I
am not out for so much excttement. and
when 1 am not in my house you can find
roe on the creek bank with a can of bait,
flfchltig. That doesn't take near ao much
energy and is not pear so tard on the
nerves as almost getting a congressional
nomination "
"I don't know how it happened," said
Mr. McCarthy, "but it Just bsppened, snd I
wssn't sure It waa going to happen till it
did. I feel a great deal more certain
about my election than I did about my
nomination. I wasn't at all sure about
that, especially while my friend Brooks
was in the race. We have a safe repub
lican majority in tbe Third and there Is no
doubt as to tbe result of the election.
While the convention was a close one,
there was no bard feeling engendered and
everything passed off harmoniously and the
best of feeling prevails throughout tbe
district. In fact, the convention was a
record-breaker for good feeling."
The three candidates left yesterday aft
ernoon for their homes, but before tbelr
departure tbey received tbe congratula
tions of friends in Omaha, the defeated
candidates for the good grace tbey are
showing and the successful candidate tor
his victory.

"We already have all the aewerago we
need here," said he, "aa there la a aixteen
inch sewer which wss laid on Pratt street
during the first exposition year. Now they
want to lay another eewer on Manderson
street, and in the alley between Pratt and
Manderson and Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets, which will virtually honeyegmb
that district with aewera. My property la
now within a half block of tbe Pratt atreet

tax committee, which carried cn the suit
ln favor of a revision of the city susrss
ment of public service enrporstions. will
make a fight before the county commis
sioners for a more equitable aasesrment of
personal property. The committee has not
outlined its plan of procedure completely,
but a member who has been In close touch
with the state of affairs said:
"The committee will present a much
bolder front before the commissioners than
It did before the city council. We know
exactly what we are entitled to in the mat
ter of public service corporations, st least,
and we will get It. peaceably If we can,
with litigation If we must.
"It is cot the intention of the tax com
mittee to stop with the public service cor
porations, but we will probably take up
other personal property. It is patent to all
who know anything about the subject that
tbe larger business institutions of Omaha
and South Omaha are not paying taxes upon
the basis charged against real estate, and
we have decided thk.t this Inequality must
cease. We have not, however, arrived at
a plan of action In this matter. It baa
been snggested that a committee prepare a
peition to be presented to tbe owners of
personal property in large amounts, giv
ing them the opportunity to make a true
and accurate return of all property owned
by them before we Institute action before
tbe county commissioners.

"I am certain that some of the largest
holders ln tbe county would willingly make
an honeat return If they were sure that
some one would see that all persons sim
ilarly situated will be compelled to pay
taxes on the same basis. Every man or
firm we oecure voluntarily will be of great
assistance to us in bringing those wbo per
sistently attempt to shirk taxes to time.
This plan may not be adopted and the
committee may be forced into making
Individual complaints against all forms of
personal property, beginning with the larg
est holders."
The matter was discussed at length ln
the exchange meeting yesterday afternoon
and the committee given full power to act.
The exchange further decided to hold its
annual picnic at Arlington, June 28, and
to sell round trip tickets at tl. The picnic
committee was given full power to act and
to appoint subordinate committees.
A motion offered by A. G. Charlton, re
questing tbe city to cause signs bearing
the names of the streets to be placed upon
corners, was adopted and a committee will
be appointed at the next meeting to bring
the matter before the proper authorities.
CATCHES TAXES ON THE FLY
Treasaurer Hraalagi Takes Hot Owe
tress Bst of Howe Ikes
Compssy.
Tuesday the Howe Shoe company was do
ing business at the old stand on Douglas
near Sixteenth. Yesterday the building was
closed and the company's stock of goods
was ln Kansas City, having been packed
and shipped during the night.
City Treasurer Hennlngs has been watch
ing this concern for aome time, as it had
given many evldencea of instability. A
year ago he had to collect its taxes on a
distress warrant. Several times since
then it has changed names, and at the time
of its departure was known aa the Rochester
Shoe company.
"This morning about B o'clock at I was
passing the store," said Mr. Hennlngs, "I
noticed that the door was locked and that
the window display was missing. I made
inquiries of persons ln adjoining stores and
learned that the shoe company had begun
packing its goods about 7 o'clock last night
and that wagons had been busy hauling tbe
stock to the railroad yarda until early thla
morning. By calling up the various rail
road companies I learned that the stuff had
been loaded upon a Missouri Pacific car,
which had been run onto a sidetrack for
the purpoae, and that this car had Just ar
rived in Kansaa City. I then served a dis
tress warrant upon the Missouri Pacific as
custodian of the property; the unloading at
Kansas City waa ordered stopped pending
settlement, and about a half hour ago a
representative of the firm ram into my
office and paid his taxes, JS6.10, which is
enough to pay for tha new desk I have been
trying to have the council buy for me. The
distress warrant having been satisfied, the
unloading at Kansaa City, I suppose, has
been resumed.

building at Fifteenth and Pouglas atreeta,
but It is not known who bought the stock,
as the bids were divided and will have to
be approved by the Vnlted Slates district
court before tbe came of the purchaser
can be determined.
There was not very lively bidding when
the sale was opened at 10 o'clock and an
adjournment waa taken for one hour, with
a bid by ths Jones Dry Goods company of
Kansas City of $11,000 tor tbe stock under
consideration. Upon reassembling this bid
was raised by the amounts of 110 to 111,085,
at which the stock waa sold subject to the
approval of the court. Bids were then re
celved on ths fixtures alone, the high bid
being that of a E. Berg. II. 823. Bids were
then asked on stock and fixtures together
and the highest bid received waa that of
L. L- Baaaett of Sheldon, la., who Offered
flS.l&O, 125 lea than tbe two offers previ
ously received.
H. F. Gumpert of Fremont offered I1S.200
for the stock and fixtures, with a prevision
that ths bid should not be considered un
leaa he could aecure a lease on ths building.
So one could assure him that tbe leaae
could be obtained. In fact, another bidder
aald that he had already secured a leaae.
The proceedings were suspended for a time
to sas if the ownership of the lease could
not be determined to the satisfaction of all
concerned, but thla was not settled when
the sale was concluded.

COMPANY C THE CHAMPNION
lda-eto ef Hls.k ackwol Battallow
Wis fa Competitive
Drill.
After a drill of more than upual merit
from the standpoint ot a h:gb school rsdet
company, the light blue snd ret! of Com
pany C waved victorious at tbe Toucg
Men's Christian Association park last night
ln the competitive drill of tbe companies
ef the High school battalion for the honor
of being designated as the color company
for tbe coming year.
With threatened storm and an almost In
tolerable hest, the people of the city
showed their interest ln tbe work ot the
cadets by filling tbe grandstand at the
park comfortably long before tbe compa
nies were ready to beg'n tbelr drill. Tbe
Judres were Captaina Wright, Groves and
McCllntock of the regular army.
The rules of the conteet as laid down by
Commandant Tompsett provided that each
company should have fifteen minutes to
present its drill. Twenty-one evolutions
were provided and three minutes ln the
manual of arms.
Half an hour after tbe time fixed In the
program Company D apeared under tbe
flickering lights, which half concealed the
work of the companies all night, and at the
command of Captain Harry Kei'y began its
evolutions. It took the company twelve
and one-half minutes of its allotted time
to perform the evolutions. Company A
was the second to enter. It required the
full fifteen minutes for this company to
reach the final order, which It did by for
getting to perform two of the required'
movements. Company B completed its
work in taelve minutes. Company E took
the full time allowance. Then came Com
pany C, the lilllputian romp&ny of the
achool. It took the little men just eleven
minutes to perfora the required evolutions
and it was the only company ln the bat
talion to perform every evolution laid down
ln tbe program. It was followed by Com
pany F, which took the full time allowance.
The judges based their averages on the
basis of ten for each movement, making a
possible acore ot 210. The points scored by
the' several companies were: C, 189; E,
180; B, 17I.S2; A. 168; D, 16S; F, 179. Re
duced to percentages the averages are:
90. 65, 61, 80 plus, 0 and 80, in the order
named above.
Following the company drill came the in
dividual drill for the medal. Thirty-five
contestants entered tbe race and the way
tbey dropped out under the critical eyes of
the judges was something which broke the
hearts of their friends. ( In less than five
minutes the' contest narrowed down to
Hugh Wallace, first sergeant of Company A,
and Paul Wernher, first sergeant of Com
pany F. These two non-commissioned of
ficers, under the command of the com
mandant of tbe battalion, moved like clock
work for aa long a time as It took to bring
tbe thirty-three men out of the line. Then
Sergeant Wernher waa found looking to the
right when his eyes should have been
straight ahead, antl Sergeant Wallace was
declared tbe winner.
As soon as tbe individual drill was com
pleted the battalion was ordered out for
drees parade, and many of the people in
the grandstand had their first opportunity
ot hearing the battalion band. At this
parade the announcement of ths victory of
Company C was made and the colors wers
placed ln Its care.
A humorous touch was here given the
procedlngs from the fact that ths two
smallest lada in the company, which In
cludes ths smallest in the school, were se
lected to guard the colors, which wers car
ried by the color sergeant, C. Robinson,
who stands six feet two Inches. With
all of the pomp of the army ths colors wers
assigned to tbe victorious company for a
year and tbe contest was et an end, tha
people leaving to the strains ot ths bat
talion band.

Committee Is Basy.
'Oovernor'B Night" at the den ot Ak-
Sar-Ben will be June 23, the governor hav
ing sent hia acceptance of the invitation of
the board to be present on that date.
The occasion of the governor'a visit will
be mads one ot tbe greatest demonstrations
at the den, aa people from several of tbe
towns of tbe stats will be present ia ad
dition to the uuual run of visitors.
The don will be gay with color, as the
members of the governor'a staff will be
present with him and will bs given an
opportunity to pass upon tha revolution
in the work Introduced this seaaon. A
large number ot the people of Lincoln will
probably accompany ths governor a train
to the city, but ths night will be devoted
particularly to South Omaha, and it is
probable that the efforts of the hustling
committee tor tbe week ending June 21 will
be centered upon the Magic City. Early
in the asason it waa understood that the
residents of South Omaha who Intend to
Join the order this' seaaon would defer their
Introduction at the den until governor
night, when they would corns in with
their former townsman. It is probable that
100 or more of ths South Omaha men will
be present on that night, and special fea
tures will be added ln honor of ths oc
casion. At the present time Ike workmen at the
den. under tha instruction of Mr. Eenae,
ars making preparation for the reception
f th undertakers Thursday evening. This
will probably be tbe largest crowd from out
of town which will pasa tbe doors of the
den at one time and the number will be
swelled from tbe 25S expected by a large
class of novitiates from ths city, tbe result
cf tbe special effort of the hustling com
mittee this week. It ia not often that
Samson will consent to a special communi
cation of the Knlghte of Ak-Sar-Ben, and
wbea he does It ia an event to be remem
bered. For thla reason several of tbe
Omaha party ars anxious to be enlightened
with ths visitors.

WILL COMPARE TAX LISTS
Coaatw Boar to Make Ceaaaavrlaea of
City with Ceaatr Aaseea
aaeats. For the uas of the County Board of equal
ization a man is preparing a comparative
showing ot the assessments mads against
local concerns by the city tax commissioner
and by ths county assessors, ths method ot
figuring valuation to be reduced to a com
mon basis. It has already been discovered
that aome very wide differences of opinion
exist, in one Instance a store assessed at a
valuation ot more than 140,000 by ths city
having been assessed at a valuation of
111.000 by the county's minion.
The object of having ths two seta ef fig
ures convenient is. of course, to assist the
commissioners ln mors readily determining
equalities -when they sit to take up com
plaints next Thursday.
As yet the complaints ars sot numerous,
but a number ot firms have agents at work
on ths tax books taking off tbe valuations,
presumably with ths object of protesting
when tbe board gets into action. The com
missioners themselves complain that the
assessors have bandied them none too gen
erously, one having his residence assessed
at nearly $r.00 more than he paid tor it,
while another must pay tax on horaea worth
1160 each, but which are almost exactly
like hia neighbor's, given ln at tii each.
The board expects to finish by June 10,
but is not certain ot its ability to do so.
Tbe books are still in ths hands of tbe tax
department clerks, who are tooting tbem
and checking tbem, preparatory to giving
out tbe totals.

SERVANTS DO NOT FILL BILL
They Are Xet Permitted by JLaw 1 ,
Aaiwtr Ceasas Takers'
taestleas.
School census enumerators are experienc
ing a new kind of trouble, and this Jrlma the
difficulty is encountered ln the wealthy and
fashionable districts. Thee enumerators
have complained that families employing
servanla Insist that tbe servants shall an
swer ths questions, which is contrary to
law. One report ia as follows:
"I told the servant who came to ths
door ln response to my ring that I waa a
census enumerator, engaged in oompltlng
the school census for ths district of Omaha,
and that I wanted to speak with the woman
of the houae. She withdrew into an inner
room, to return a moment later.
" 'Mrs. Blank aays I can answer your
questions,' she said.
"I sent ber back again with a statement
that the law would not permit such aa
arrangement. She returned tbe eeeond
time to say that Mra. Blank waa engaged
and that I might call ths next day. I
called ths next day, but this time Mn.
Blank was 'not in.' The third time I called
I received a flatfooted ultimatum that un
less I was willing te tsks the statement
of ths servant none would be fortbcomlxts;
from that bonse."
Tbe matter will be brought to tha at-,
tentlon of ths Board of Education at tta
next meeting.
D. T. Kroh, 2115 Emmet street, who a
pulssd the enumerator a week agnt baa

the necessary information. Hs explained
to Secretary Burgess that he waa wllll&g.
to turn over ths family bible ta the
enumerator .if hs wanted it, but that hs
did not want to be sworn, aa he thought'
hia unsupported word was good enough.
