In Judge Fawrett's court room ye sterdsy morning a plain black dog with no an cestry to particularly bonit of and no other distinguishing appurteraore got more no toriety ani attention than most dogs get In a whole lifetime. The spnnlel belongs to John A. Rylen and la the one charged with having bit little Dorothy Wyrllle. whose, father la suing Rylen for $10,000 be cause of the Incident, alleging that the little girl's nervous system was affected by the attack. When the dog was brought In, to be put looked dubious. They had seen dogs before and they knew there was no telling what sort of commotion might be precipitated. Bailiff Morgan slipped out to the Janitors' room and got a club. Just when things got going well the dog remembered his musical education and began to vocalize softly, under the wit nesses' bench. The court frowned and the bailiff edged over to within reaching dis tance. The dog grew melancholy and took the high note from the mlsorere. Some body reached under the bench and the tune switched to "Brush By, White Man." Pro ceedings temporarily came to a stop, snd the court said: "Take the dog Into the corridor." Then resl trouble began. An old colored man asked somebody what the dog was do ing there, and the somebody answered that It had bitten small girl. The delegate from Dahomey Inferred that the canine had the rabbles, snd he started for the other end of the hall. As he went he let every one know what was doing, and everyone got busy. Never since the smallpox scare hns there been such a hurried clearing out In the temple of Justice. The Judge was expected to Issue a re straining order forbidding the dog to "In terrupt, Interfere with or In any way mo lest the district court In the discharge of Its nstural duties, or to In any manner an noy or Intimidate any officer thereof or any person legally entitled to be in or about the courthouse of said county, or to exact from any such person any portion or fragment of such person's anatomy as such person may be reluctant to pa,rt with or may wish to reserve for his or her own dog." City Treasurer Hennlngs has been gath ering statistics to show the necessity for devlslni- a war to collect a cart of the $2,- 000,000 delinquent tsxes duo the city of evidence, the court officers all Omaha. Thousand of lots are encumbered by unpaid taxes greatly In excess of their value, and as Illustrations be presents Bve striking examples, using the fair cash val uations made by Tax Commissioner Fleming for the 1903 assessment. A lot valued at 1250 has IS16 In taxes standing against It; another piece of property worth D,375 baa taxes against It to the amount of 110,(90.16, and there Is one small lot which 1160 would buy that has $615,911 marked up In delinquent taxes. The city treasurer has been gTestly Inter ested In the proposed legislative measures designed to secure, not only the collection of back taxes in Omsha and the placing of the property in position where It may yield regular revenue, but the state as well. Present Law : Inadequate. "It is estimated that there are from $7, 000,000 to $10,000,000 atate, county and city taxes delinquent In Nebrsska," he says. "Probably one-third of the property con cerned never could be redeemed under tho present lawa. We should get a bill through the legislature to clear up this property snd to get it paying taxes sgatn. "Besides the benefit of a large amount of back taxes which we could collect under the so-called acavenger bill, it would de crease the levy for tsxes in future yesrs. Of course, under our present constitution this can be accomplished only by regular court proceedings. "The best remedial legislation proposed that I have aeen la a bill in the hands of a repreeentstlve from a western county, which he proposes to Introduce Into the house this week. From my point of view, after careful consideration, It la a measure that f-hould be passed, and I believe It should lve the hearty support of the Douglas county delegation." Synopsis of the New Bill. Mr. Hennlngs has a synopsis of this bill aa follows: The county treasurer shall prepare a complete delinquent Hat of taxes each year and this ahall be bound and kept as a permanent record similar to the present Bales Record." This record shall have suitable columns showing the kind and amount of every tax against each tract, as well aa the total amount due. It shall have columns for the entry of payments of taxes and re demption from tax sale, the name and address of the purchaser and his assignee, as well as other columns for entries of orders of court, etc. Tha rarnrd shiill have a formal statement attached to It and shall be filed with the clerk of the district court. It then be- omes k petition and Is the commencement of a suit to enforce the taxes. , Notice of the filing of the petition and of the amount due on each tract Is then published four weeks. Those who wish to contest the taxes must fie answers by September 1. A default decree Is entered against all land when no contest Is made. Lands defaulted are Bold under an order in" court, after advertisement, in November each year When less than four years taxes are delinquent lands must bring full amount of taxes. Interest and costs, but when four or more years are delinquent lands may be sold to the highest bidder regardless f tha amount due and without appralae- '"in the latter case the bid may be raised by any .person within eighteen months by filing; with the county treasurer an offer of a premium. The highest premium must bo accepted. Wales draw Interest at 12 per cent per annum. The period of redemption Is three ears for the ordinary sale and two years tor the aala where four or more years are Included. The atate, county or any city may be come purchaser where their taxes are In volved and are not required to advance money. All such sales, may be assigned by the treasurer to any purchaaer at any When taxea are contested the court enters a decree after a regular trial. The state ault has light of way over all civil Luslnesa of the court and several pro visions are found in the act to get an early decision. The owner and occupant of every tract of land Is served with notice by the sheriff (or by publication) that the time of re demption will expire on a certain day. If there Is no redemption application mafia to the court sale Is confirmed and deed mads under the court's order. This deed la an absolute title to the property. There are provisions discouraging the filing of contest or appeal solely for delay. BOILER MAKERS MAY STRIKE Men on Other Earriman Lines May Join Union Paoiflo Striken. DECISION OF EXECUTIVE COUNCIL DUE I,ornl President Kennedy Kxpeets to Hear Within Tnrslr-Foar Hoars Whether Fight Is to Be Kxtended. ROCK ISLAND AGENTS MEET They Are Being: Instructed as to New Belatloaa with Southern Pacific. A Chicago, Rock Island Pacific pow wow was In progress in Council Bluffs yes terday. At the Grand hotel was a meeting of all the agenta of the Iowa divlBlon of that road with the chief men of the operating, traffic and auditing departments. A halt dozen of the high officials were out here to Instruct the agents in various topics relat ing to their respective departments. It is said that the most important feature of the meeting waa a discussion of the new phases of the work of the representatives of the road that have Just arisen aa a re sult of the recent alliance of the Rock Island with the Southern Pacific railway. Head men in the different departments of the railroad instructed the agenta thor oughly in the complications and ramifica tions that result from thla relationship. The officials present at the meeting were: H. J. Bllfer of Chicago, general superintendent; C. I Nichols of Falrbury, Neb., division superintendent; W J. Law rence of Dca Moines, division superintend ent; H. Gower of Chicago, assistant freight traffic, manager; W. H. Burna of Chicago, freight traffic auditor. Some fifty agents were In attendance at the meeting. It began at 10 o'clock yes terday morning and continued all day long. It waa a memorable occasion for the agents of the Iowa division. E. F. Kennedy, president of the locsl union of striking boiler makers, Is confi dent that within twenty-four houra it will be known whether the Union Pacific atrtke Is to be extended to the other Hsrrlman lines. Ever since the brief and decisive conference between President Burt of the Union Pacific and the general committee of strikers' representatives two weeks sgo the burning question has been: "Will the men be pulled out slong the Southern Ps clflc and the other Harriman lines?" Mr. Kennedy expects this to be answered this morning, and as a conse quence there Is a decided spell of hushed anticipation over those favored few of the men who know that the crisis approaches. From the start there has been no hope of the machinists on ths other lines being pulled out, as there have been aeveral rea sons why they could not snd would not quit work. But with the boiler makera It has been different. Tljey can and will come out any time they are ordered to. This has been known snd admitted all along, and it has been merely a question of the order being given. When President McNeil of the Interna tional Association of Boiler Makera and Iron Ship Builders left. Omaha ten days ago to go to his headquarters at Kansas City It was to settle this matter. He placed he question before the executive council of the association. This confprlses six members, scsttered over the United 8tatea. The affair waa one of correspondence, snd took time. Vote of Direct tsaestloa. The only question on which the council was asked to rote was, "Shall the men on the other lines be taken out?" Since then Mr. McNeil has been waiting in Kansas City for these replies. He haa not gone out over the Southern Pacific, aa an nounced In his plans, tor It would be use less to go out there without knowing where he stood. ' Finally the votes have commenced com ing in. Two have already reached Mr. Mc Neil. The otbera are expected aoon. When the decisive vote arrlvea he will telegraph President Kennedy the result. Monday he wired Mr. Kennedy that the matter was very near a conclusion, and that a decision could be expected any time now, probably not later than Tuesday night.

Tho judge, said: "This court Is not in a position to con cur In the opinion that auch conduct proves Incompetency of mind. Indeed, If It does, not only thla court, but ths greater and the better portion of the population of this country Is deranged. This court unhesitat ingly confesses that It has sat with all the dignity and decorum possible at tea tables no larger than a sheet from the court docket, snd on which the only viands were apples of too tender sge and crackers about whose age there could be no doubt at all. Moreover, the court has deliberately and willingly eonnived in an effort to have pure cold water served ss tea. at auch functions, and has even consented without protest to hold a doll In lta lap and com ment on the decoration of auch doll's bonnet."
