OMAHA. April t.-To the Editor of The
Bee: The statement has been made that
the enforcement of the scavenger law will
brink Wo the county treasury an amount
sufficient to pay up the outstanding
claims. Possibly some of the people who
figure on thin condition have not given
serious thought to the proposition as to
where the money would come from under
the new plan. At the present time the
purchase of cerilflnatra of tax sales la
carried on hy something; like seven or
eight individual and probably the entire
amount that they have Invented In this
line of business would not exceed 176.000.
Their usual plan of operation! haa been, at
the public sale In November, to Invest their
rnnney and take certificates, and usually
only small fraction of the total delin
quent list Is bid off. Soon after the sale, re
demptions commence, and they are com
pelled to accept their money, and In many
Instances only receive as Interest a smalt
fraction of 1 per cent. Afterwards, aa fast
as money accumulates, they purchase other
property at private sale, and thue reinvest
the capital with which they carry on the
business.
Is cleifr that the present Board of Com
missioners Is In no way responsible for the1
deficiency. It has been created by the
boards of former years and It seems no
more than fair that the present board
should not be asked to appropriate Its en
tire levy for 1904 for the payment of batk
claims and debts Incurred by former
boards. If we can once square them up and
give them, a fresh, start on the county
finances, we can then have a direct check
on the amount of money they expend In
carrying on the county business In any
one year.
I think the county should be run on
business lines, pay debts and new liabilities
as they become due, and that the bonds
should be voted. HARRY t. REED.

(The new law contemplates the sale of
the entire list of property- on which taxes
are delinquent, and the law makes It the
duty of the county to bring In the pame
of the atate of Nebraska all property on
which there are no bids and are not city
or special taxea and not over three yeara'
txos. Other property can be bid In by
cities without making payment in cash
Therefore, under the new plan, It will
not be feasible for parties to reinvest their
capital when redemptions are made, ex
cept by awaiting another public sale, and
therefore part of their capital would of a
necessity be Idle. Under the new law a
reduction Is made In the Interest rate on
tea title certificates from 20 per cent per
annum to IS per cent, on regular certifi
cates and on what are called premium
bids, to 1 per cent a month.
In the uncollected taxea the county haa
an Interest to the amount of several hun
dred thousand dollars, the city haa an In
terest to the extent of considerable over I
million dollars, and the state haa an In
tereat to the extent of about one-third of
what atanda on the county books. It Is there
fore easy to figure that for the county to
realign 1200,000 it would require sales to
be made to the extent of about 1, (0,000,
aa the cities of Omaha and South Omaha
take the largest proportion of the money
and the atate taken about one-third of
what are called county taxes.

Aa to property rn Omaha' and South
Omaha, before a decree can be entered In
the icavongor case It is probable that nr.
ewers will be filed aa to property where
there are delinquent special taxea, whether
vajld or Invalid, and as the various paving,
curbing and sewer districts of the cities
of Omaha and South Omaha would require
Tirnnf in he innria nn thniiunda of rllffArnnr
matters, It is easy to aee that with the
present legal force of the various depart
ments It would be Impossible to reach many
of these Items of the main case within the
rraxt eighteen months. We have many
times seen the trial of one particular pav.
Ing case require the time of one district
Judge and the city's legal department for
days at a time. How, then, can we ex-
tect thousands of Items of special taxes
to be passed upon without giving time to
the legal departments to prepare and prop
erly try the Issues raised In each dlrtviotT
A fair conclusion to be drawn Is that only
a small fraction of the total amount at
Issue will be passed upon by the courts In
time to be reached at the treasurer's first
publlo aula In November, and the other
matters must of necessity await the de
cision of the courts aa to the validity of the
different special taxes involved. It Is not
at all probqbla that any considerable addi
tional amount' of money will be Invested
by any one In the tax certificates under the
tiew law. The tax title business Is gen
erally looked down upon and It Is very
doubtful If many new persons .will go Into

MAYOR AND CHIEF TAKE PART
Will See that Kortoraal Rowdyism la
laTenvrorth School Yard
Is Stopped.
The annoying practice of young people
(and sometimes people not eo young), of
both sexes congregating In the yards of
the Leavenworth school at Seventeenth and
Leavenworth atreeta, for their nocturnal
matinees, have become so aggravating that
residents of that portion of the city have
found It necessary to make an earnest ap
peal to tfie mayor and chief of police for
a suppression of the nuisance.
Mayor Moores and Chief Donahue have
conferred on the matter and determined
to "stop the disgraceful and annoying
practice at any coat." Incidentally, the
mayor resides very neer to that school
and Is able, therefore, to better appreciate
the Impositions which the residents have
been forced to endure.
It haa been said that those who patronise
the school yard have gone so far aa to buy
and drink beer there, and, In fact, carry
oh regular midnight orglea, while the resi
dents and property owners were doing their
best to get an honest nlght'a Bleep. Men
and women Indulge In the pastime, and it
was told the city officials that when ef
forts are made to get the revelers to desist
In their loud and frequently profane de
monstrations, they only hurl back vile
and saucy answers or epithets. One night
a woman, who was prevented from getting
any rest or sleep, went to the door and
called to the rabble to cease Ita noise and
go home "like respectable people." She
got a "go to " and a beer can aalled
at her for an answer.
But the mayor and chief declare there
will be no more of this; that they will
make it their business to see that such
rowdyism Is stopped If It necessitates the
arrest of every person who In found In the
yard, or anywhere on the school premises.
Requests for statements for delinquent
taxes aggregating 1100,000 have reached the
office of the city treasurer during the past
few weeks. Three clerks are kept buay
preparing the Information. Friday one
property owner called for a atatement em

ing the Ruslan Una we continued turning
to port ao aa to describe an ellipse, but
only the ships on the near Bide continued
firing. Each vessel fired for ten minutes
on an average.
On the second turn of the ellipse we
drew nearer, none of our ships having
been materially Injured by the Russian
return fire. You will aee from thla that
our tactlca were analogous to those of your
Commodore Dewey at Manila, only you un
derstand that we went over the course of
his ellipse five times in succession, stead

"Beveral of our ships were struck by the
enemy's shells, but the Russian projectiles
seemed lacking in explosive power. Our
flagship was hulled and several shots passed
over the decks. Of our other vessels the
battleship Fuji and the cruiser Iwate fared
the worst, but neither of them was hit
below the water line. The Asahl, Idsumo
and Adsuma were not hit at all.
"A great number of our shots appeared
to find their mark. Our large projeotlles
containing Tshlmose powder, Judging from
the dust and debris that flew up from
the torts, must have acattered destruction,

twelve-inch guns on the Mlkaaa, insisted
on sighting his gun himself, and waa re

shots on the enemy'e ships.
"Prince Tamashlna, on the Takumo, also
did good execution with the gun he waa

"What Impression the Japanese ' torpedo
attack and the subsequent battle made on
the Russian aide haa been told to me by
two eye-witnesses bf the affair, one an
Englishman, who left Port Arthur the same
day, the other an American, who left the
following day. His vessel, the British Mer
chant steamer Fu Ping, waa fired on by
the Russtana. Thla gentleman, Mr. George
Curtis, an American lawyer, coming from
Peking on his way to Shanghai, arrived In
Port Arthur by the Manchurlan railway
on the day before the outbreak of hostili
ties. He recounts his experiences aa fol
io wa:
" 'On arriving at Port Arthur I noticed
a lot of trouble about passports and ao
forth, but there was none at the start.
Iter, when there had been flfthring. all
foreigners were peremptorily told to leave
Port Arthur. What struck me most In
the beginning was the great animation and
gaiety reigning In the town aa compared
to the last time I had been there, about a
year ago. The places of amusement were
running at full blast. There were ban
quets, concerts and dances being given at
the Marine club upon the hill, In the old
town, at the fashionable hotels, the Paris
and the Palermo, with dally and nightly
performances at the theater and at the
Barovsky circus. The town was full of
women, mainly French. Wine flowed like
water; there waa much high gambling and
the Russian officers were burning many
more rubles than their salaries seemed to
warrant. I understand that much money
had changed hands over government con
tracts and in the purchase of aupplles.
Many commente were made by outsiders
and by the common soldiers and Bailors on
the Inferior quality of the goods obtained
at top prices.

" "On the night of February I a military
banquet and ball were given at the house
of Vice Admiral Stark on the hill to cele
brate his wife's name day, that Is the cal
endar day of her patron saint. All the
prominent offieera of the navy ami of the
army were there from Viceroy Alexleft
down.
" The banquet had been served, toasts
had been drunk and dancing waa Just un
der way about midnight, when auddenly
there waa a booming of guns out In the
harbor. Vice Admiral Alexleft sent out an
aide-de-camp to inquire what this meant
and waa told that it appeared to be a night
maneuver undertaken independently ty
some officers outside the harbor.
" The Viceroy refused to believe this,
especially aa the aounda of cannonading
continued, eo there waa a sudden leave-
taking of all the officers who, one and all,
had hurried down to the water front and
took launchea for their ahlps. It Is for all
the world like the famous ball given by
the duchesa of Richmond In Brussels on
the eve of Waterloo. After awhile the
booming out at eea stopped and the big
guns on the forts ceased firing. Mean
while the inhabitants of the town were get
ting panic-stricken.'
At this point let us take up the account
of Mr, McCullough, who wss on board the
eteamer Columbia, which left Port Arthur
on February 8:
On February 8 at 11 p. m. we were lying
In quarantine outside of the entrance of
Port Arthur. The Russian feet was lying

front of the Russian fleet going eastward.
Through my glasses I could make out the
rising sun standard of Japan flying from
mastheads and gaffs, eigne were also being
exchanged. All the Russian men of war,
excepting the torpedo boats, ran up battle
flags.
'They began to weigh aachor slowly
and gradually they got under wsy and
steamed out. The Japanese were soon out
of eight, going southeastward. Shortly
after t In the morning the Russian fleet re
turned to the original station, actually
dropping he same heavy mooring anchors
that had taken them so long to get up.

"Afterward some scout cruisers were dis
patched In the direction the enemy's cruis
ers had last taken. Moat of there returned
after awhile. At 10:60 the last was seen
coming In at great speed, leaving a trail
of black smoke behind. It was firing
heavily astern. When within Ave minutes
the Japanese fleet hove in Bight, coming on
apparently at full speed. I counted six
teen vessels. The battleships led. Then
came the armored cruisers, with the re
maining cruisers bringing up the rear, all
In single (lie. The leading ship fired St a
range of about TS.000 yards. Its first shell
fell short.
The Russian men-of-war called their
crewe to quarters and began weighing
anchor. They were amaslngly slow about
It. Washing and fixing their great wooden
stocked anchors Instead of slipping their
anchor cables and getting their ships under
headway. While they were busily engaged a
heavy Japanese shell dropped right among
the Russian battleships off the harbor en
trance, close to where seventeen torpedo
boats were huddled together. The torpedo
boat flotilla wheeled and entered the har
bor, followed by a gunboat and a training
ehlp.
"The other Russian war vessels were
getting under way, still hauling up their
anchors. The shells were dropping all
around them. One battleship was struck
on the stern. The shell exploded and blot
ted out everything In a dense mass of
smoke. Just before it struck I had re
marked some twenty aboard It dragging
a heavy hook forward wherewith to secure
the anchor. When the smoke lifted no
living man could be seen on the forward
deck. The next Instant it waa hidden from
ua by an Intervening ship.

tlonal Russian warships, gunboats and tor

ourselves, making a fourth line.
"Suddenly we felt a heavy submarine ex
plosion; it shook our ship. Two more to-
lowed In quick succession. The Russian
men-of-war then commenced firing from
the outer line. The reverbratlonsMndieated
guns of comparatively light caliber.
"We could hear their drums beating to
quarters, while the searchlights on every
ship were turned. Steam launchea and tor
pedo boata steamed rapidly to and fro.
Within ten mlnutea the firing ceased. We
concluded It had been merely night
manouver.

"I waa about to turn in again when the
firing broke out anew. Between 12:30 and 1
at night two large Ruaalan battleships,
painted a dull gray, passed In, taking up
a position right across the narrow mouth
of the harbor, while a large cruiser sta
tloned itself close to the entrance under
the lighthouse.

other shells burst over their ships, others
again went whistling over their rigging to
burst within and over the land forts. I
never ahall forget the peculiar sybllant,
half moaning sound the big shells made
overhead. Already spent shells went to
the mark, but, none the less, burst aa they
struck the chore. The first Russian ship
to get away was a volunteer steamer armed
as an auxiliary cruiser. It passed out
through the laboring fleet and ran out, ap
parently Intending to engage the enemy
single handed. It had scarcely gone half
a mile, however, before shells began to
drop all around "it so hotly that it turned
and sought the protection of the stronger
battleships. How it escaped getting hulled

"The three had been torpedoed. Looking

Bottle
s of Gas
Make One Bottle of Liquozone.
s
We require 1,250 cubic inches of gas to make one cubic inch of Liquozone. The gas is made in large part from the best
oxygen producers. The process of reduction takes 14 days. It is this astounding condensation that gives Liquozone its poweir
the power to do what oxygen does.
A Million 50c Bottles Free.
The vJrtue ot Liquozone lies la the fact
that It dofs whut oxygeu does.
t'Vxysen Is tin vital part of air. It Is
nature's great loulc, the very source of
vitality, th moat essential element of
life. It Is oxygen that turns the blue
blood to red in the luugs. It Is oxygen
that eliminates the waste tissue aud
builds tip the new. Oxygeu Is the nerve
food the blood food, snd every function
of Ufa so depends on It that we could
not lire three minutes without It And
an excess of oxygen Is certain destruc
tion to every form of disease germ.
Jiut oxygen la a gas and unstable. An
ercess of oxygen cannot be held In the
Hood. Liqulxone is a liquid, with all
Its virtues In permanent form and con
centrated. It goes into the stomach,
Into the bowels and Into the blood, to
go wherever the blood goes. That Is
the secret of Its power.
Not Medicine
Liquozone is not made by compound'
Ing acids or drugs; nor Is there any alco
hol In It Its virtues are derived solely
from gas lartjoly from o.ygen gas by
proceas requiring Immense apparatus and
14 days' tltue. its results are due to
the fact that a little of the liquid repre
sents the virtue of an Immense volume
of thai gas.
Llquosoue is the result of a process
which, for more tiisn id years, lias been
the constant aubject of scientific snd
chemical reeuaivU. It forma a vitaliz
ing toulc WHh which no other kuown
product can compare. It la the best
thing In the world for you.
Kills Inside Germs.
Hut the vital value of Liquozone lies in
the fact that It kills germs In the body
without harm to the tissues. .There Is
nothing else known which will do that
Any drug that kills germs is a poison
and it caunet be taken internally. Kvery
physiciun knows thst medicine Is almost
helpless in any germ disease.
Liquozone Is a germicide so certain
tliat we publish on every bottle an offer
of $1,000 for a dUease germ that it
cannot kill. The reason is that germs
sre vegetables, snd Liquozone the very
life of an animal is deadly to vegetable
matter. Animals live by oxygen, vegeta
bles by carbonic acid gas. And the life of
one Is, In excess, deadly to the other.
It la this fact that has enabled the dis
coverers of Liquozone to solve this great
est problem that medical men ever met
It has given us a product essential to
the human body a product which can
go wherever the blood goes, so thst no
term can escape it; yet a product which
no germ can resist It is apparent that
the results are inevitable, for no germ
disease can exist after the germs are
killed.
We Paid $100,000
For the American rights to Liquozone
the highest price ever paid for similar
rights on any scientific discovery. Be
fore doing this we tested the product for
two years, through physicians and hos
pitals. In this country and others. We
proved it in thousands of the most dim
cult cases obtainable. Including every
disease which wss then called Incurable.
This price wss paid because Liquozone
will do more for sick humanity than all
the skill in the world can accomplish
without It It will oi re more sickness.
end more suffering, and save more lives
than all the drugs combined. And now
that this fact is generally known, we oc

Germ Diseases
The diseases in this list are known to
be due to germs or their toxins, and
medicine does not apply to them, for
medicine cannot kill Inside germs.
All that medicine can do in germ trou
bles is to act as a tonic, aiding Nature to
overcome the germs. Such results are
indirect and uncertain. They are, as
many of you know by experience, al
ways doubtful and often impossible.
They depend on the patient's condition.
Liquozone goes direct to the cause ot
the trouble and destroys it. We have
often seen it end. In a week, diseases
which had resisted medicine for years.
And it cures diseases wnlch medicine
never cures. In sny stage of any disease
in this list the results are so certain that
we will gladly send to any patient who
asks it an absolute guaranty.
