Protests, t ;:
The Rock Island ha paid Its county tax,
the amount being $341.94. The company In
loins; so says the tax should be only $306 14
and it pays the larger 'amount "solely to
prevent the Issuing of a warrant" against
It by Treasurer Fink and the selsure of Its
property. At the same time Mr. Fink Is
warned a suit will be Instituted against
himself and the county and he Is further
warned to keep the sum handy and not let
It get out of the office, because he will be
required to refund it.- J. C. Cooper of ftie
tax deportment of the road makes this
protest He rests It on the alleged fact th
roadbed and other properties are assessed
at a valuation of mors than $6,000 a mile.
Mr. Fink Is In possession of the last two
bonds outstanding of those refunded Janu
ary 1, 1908. These were In the possession
of Lend all Tltcomb of Augusta,. Me., who
refused to turn them In to Kelley A Kelly
of Topeka, who managed the refunding for
the city. The coupons were not paid be
cause Uve amount, $2.000,. was so small It
was overlooked and ths' result was 'a tiny
shadow. on the fiscal reputation of the city.
Ma. Fink called the attention of the com
missioners to the matter. As a result ha
has received the bonds from Mr. Tltcomb
and also notices from the Lincoln 'Safe De
posit and Trust company. In a few days

Hack Driver.
The Omaha It Council Bluffs Street Rail
way company's legal department turned In
a bunch of legal back talk yesterday
to the office of the clerk of the district
court The department thinks very little
of the cause of William D. Whalen, who
is suing the company. The company re
plies that Whalen was In ths habit of driv
ing his hack in the vicinity of Sixteenth
and Jackson streets and knew cars passed
frequently. He nevertheless .willfully,
carelessly and negligently crossed the
tracks at the time of the accident and was
bumped because of contributory negligence.
The company paints a glowing picture of
the car coming along ths track in the
early evening, lighted up with headlight
and Interior electric globes, almost. It Would
seem, resembling some gorgeous stage
spectacle. Its gong apparently was sound
ing like the cry of the strawberry vender
In the early spring. Also one is led to see
a mental picture of the motorman from al
great distance off, grinding the brake down
with desperate energy, fearful of knocking
on the negligent hack driver.
The company also files an answer to the
suit of H. QarfmkaL It says the plaintiff
did not give any signal to be let off at

Mrs. P. Foran of 140 North Thirty-seventh
street owns a dog, while her neighbor,
James Poole, owns a cat The canine and
feline had a scrimmage in the Poole do
main last Sabbath morning. Mr. Poole Is
said to have taken exceptions to the. con
duct of the Foran dog in his yard and to
have taken the dog by the running gear
and tossed him over the fence. Mrs. Foran
then filed a complaint against Poole In po
lice court Police Judge Berka has listened
to the evidence, but wants to take the cane
under advisement before rendering a de
cision, as he has cats and dogs of his own.
According to reports from the front It
appears the Foran dog has had a grudge
against the Poole cat for several months,
so last Sunday morning he took the law
In his own teeth and grabbed the cat by
the nape of ths neck In the latter' yard.
While, shaving, hlmaslf .for church Mr.
Poole could tee the animals from hla win
dow. With one side of his face shaved and
the hands of the clock rapidly approaching
the hour ' for worship Poole went outside
and separated the combatants and ejected
the dog. Mrs. Foran is then said to have
pnt on her bonnet and hurried over to the
Poole premises and remonstrated with the
owner of the cat. Mrs. Foran said the dog
had recovered from the shock except that
his hearing had been Impaired. It Is
thought the cat will recover unless internal
complications set in.

BACK FROM TOUR OF EUROPE
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dempster Visit Much
of Old Werld.
NOTE GREAT TR0GRESS IN THE CITIES
Find Sentiment for Rsssla as
Opposed to Japan Strong la
Italy Earope Likes
Americans.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dempster have
returned from their European trip and are
stopping at the Millard hotel for a short
time. During their absence they visited
Italy, Palestine, Greece, Egypt, Austria,
Belgium, Holland, France, Germany Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland. They put In a
winter at San Remo and Mr. Dempster Is
Impressed with the developments made In
Italy since he was there seven years ago.
This Improvement was very marked In
Naples where electric cars and lights are
now used and the sanitary regulations
have been Improved so that the cleanli
ness of the streets and public places Is
Very marked and In strong contrast to
what It was formerly. Mr. Dempster said
of his trip:
"In spite of the attracUve and pleasing
features of such a trip It Is nice to be
back home again. There Is, after all, no
country like America and you can't help
but note the difference In the methods,
conditions a,nd manners of living. One of
the pathetic things that Impress the visitor
to many of the foreign countries Is the
way women are treated. They take their
places beside their brothers there with a
vengeance. In Italy wo saw a ship with a
cargo of building stone being unloaded.
They were heavy stone and the women
carried them from the boat to the wharf
on their backs. We saw similar conditions
In other countries."
Italy with the Csar.
"How did you find sentiment regarding
the war?"
. "Well, In Italy where we spent the most
time we found sympathy very strong, of
course, In favor of Russia. The Italians
believe Russia will win In the end. In other
countries we visited we did not stay lfig
enough to really get the sentiment of the
people, and then we were handicapped -in
this respect by the fact that we did not
speak the language.
"It Is very easy, however, to get along
anywhere without a guide. Usually you
can find someone who talks English. Eng.
llsh Is spoken more or less In all of the
countries you visit and it Is being taught
In the schools and receives more attention
than formerly. It is a fact that waiters
come tohls country to learn English and
go back because they can get better Wages.
Many of them go to England for the same
purpose, and in fact more go there than to
America. In all of the larger hotels abroad
the hall porter speaks English.
Americans Well Treated.
"Americans, as a rule, are well treated
abroad. Italy and Swltserland like the
Americans. They spend money more freely
and they depend In a large measure upon
the tourist business in those countries. In
Germany they do not display a very kindly
spirit toward the Americans. No, I can't
say that It Is for commercial or political
reasons. They seem to be sore in a social
way.
"We were In Paris when they were cele
brating their Independence day, which
comes on July 14. Of course, there is only
one Paris in the world, so to speak. They
celebrate their day much the same as we
do the Fourth. One feature Impressed me.
This was the dancing. Upon these occa
sions there is music all over the city, and
they dance In the street' '. In' fact the
Parisians, I might say. live in the street
They have street fairs like ours, but they
are conducted on a more elaborate scale.
The Illuminations when we were there were
magi illcent and this may be, partly due
to the fact that the bey of TUnls was a
guest of the city."
SALES RATE IS INCREASED
Raised to Five Per Cent on All
Up to Two Thonsand
Dollars.
At-the regular meeting of the Real Es
tate exchange It was decided to Increase
the commission rate to 5 per cent on all
sales up to $2,000 after which the rate
would remain as now, 2H per cent
This action was taken af.er Investigating
the commission rates at Kansas City, Den
ver and Salt Lake City. It was also de
cided to view the improvements in the
southern section of the city, the grain'
terminal! and other property next Wednes
day afternoon.
W. G. Ure. F. D. Wead. E. C. Garvin
and C. F. Harrison were appointed a tax
committee with Instructions to look after
assessments and keep' tab on reductions
asked before the Board of Review.
Judge Lytle spoke briefly on the unity
of spirit that is developing Loi Angeles,
of the effect of the far-reaching trolley
system of that city and the need of united
effort in pulling for Omaha, believing
that the opportunity of the city la at hand.
He suggested the advisability of working
for .ths erection of a bay elevator here.
J. B. Billings of Alma told of the pros
perity of his section and stated that "there
was more doing in real estate now than at
any time since Grover Cleveland's nom
ination for president"
PUTS WATCH OVER HUSBAND
Mrs. Hobo Admits Hiring Detective
to Camp on Trail of Her
Spoaso.
In the Robb divorce case the cross-examination
of Mrs. Robb by Attorney J. P.
Breen continued yesterday. Mrs.' Robb
admitted sfie had employed a private de
tective to watch Mr. Robb. . She said her

somewhat sentimental nature.
Tuesday afternoon E. A. Cudahy was put
on the stand for Mrs. Robb and testified
she had at one time asked him to approach
her husband with a view to effecting a
reconciliation. This Mr. Cudahy said he
had finally decided not to da J. A. Mo
Naughton was put on to say Robb at one
time had talked of resigning and leaving

COUNCIL PAYS THE BALANCE
Approves Bill for Pavlag Park
Aveaao Despite Veto of
City Engineer.
Notwithstanding the fact that City En
gineer Rosewater refused, to accept the
asphalt paving Just completed by the Ne
braska Bltullthio company on Paik ave
nue, near Hanscom park, the council has
Included the balance due the contractor,
about $9.0u0, in the appropriation ordinance
passed Tuesday night The engineer sent
a written objection to the council, saying
he declined to acoept ths pavement be
cause five chemical analyses of samples
he hsd made showed the asphalt mixtures
to hare an average shortage of I per ent
under the minimum quantity of bitumen
required by the specifications. His tests
of the Thirty-second avenue paving, by
the same contractor, were found to be up
to standard and be accepted this work
without protest. The total cost of the
Park avenue Job was J1S.7S4.67. Generat
Manager Grant of the Bltullthio company
has results of analysis by his company,
showing that more than the required
amount of bitumen was put Into the Park
avenue paving.
PEABODY'S POLICY TOO MUCH
Governor of Colorado, Says Denver
Maa, Lost Friends by His
Radical Aetloa.
W. R. Coleman of Denver, who has been
In Omaha on business connected with the
Swift Packing company," left this morning
over the Rock Island for his home. In re
ferring to the recent election and the strike
which resulted In the defeat of Governor
Pea body he said:
"The election tells Its own story of what
the business men think of Governor Pea
body's policy during the strike. While In a
measure they admire him for the firm stand
he took, they long ago have come to realise
that Peabody went too far. I think Pea
body could not have been defeated by the
laboring men alone. They were naturally
sore and put up a strong fight but the fact
of the matter Is Fen body's policy reached
to the pocketbooks of the business people.
"There is no use denying the fact that
Denver is dull. Business Is depressed, and
In my opinion It will be a year before it
recovers from the effects of the period ol
Bellism and Peabodylsm that It has gone
through. Denver depends. In a large meas
ure, for business upon Its floating popula
tion. Take this away and you remove one
of the principal sources of revenue In Den
ver. The World's fair at St. Louts natur
ally had some effect en the tourist travel,
but there Is a flood Of this travel that we
can gamble on from year to year as regu
larly as the season comes, regardless of
what Is going on In other parts of the coun
try. These people are not with us thl
year. They have gone somewhere else and
of course some of them may never come
to Denver again. They will be pleased with
other climates and other cities and not
come back to Denver. Our city has had a
black eye from the effects of which It will
not recover In a business way In a long
time, and naturally Peabody Is held re
sponsible." GOVERNORS FIX ANNUAL DATE

Oitiztn Ifaktl His Eeogp.
WORKS OLD GAME WITH MUCH SKILL
Like Monte Crlsto, He Finds Himself
ia Predicament of Having;
Nothing; bat Thonsand
Dollar Bills, v
Efforts are being made to apprehend the
man Who buncoed Harvey J. Sparks out
of a large sura of money at the Union
Station several days ago. Mr. Sparks la
a resident of Valentine and was waiting
for a train when he made the acquaint
ance of a strang-er of pleasing address.
The latter, by a singular coincidence, was
going In the same direction ae Mr. Sparks
and the men became very friendly. Finally
It occurred to the stranger that he would
have time to pay a small bill which he
owed one of the wholesale houses nearby.
He asked Mr Sparks to accompany him
and meet some nice people, Mr. Sparks
said he would not trouble his friend, but
that he would wait. Then It occurred to
the stranger that he had nothing smaller
than ll.OOD bills. He had Just drawn the
money for a large shipment of cattle at
South Omaha. Could Mr. Sparks change
a bill? Mr. Sparks ran his hands through
his pockets, but he hadn't enough loose
change.
What In the'world was the stranger to
do? There was that bill staring him in
the face and he didn't want to go away
without paying It. The train wquld be
along pretty soon and there he was, like
Monte Crlsto, with nothing but a pocket
ful tf thousand dollar bills. It was an
awful situation. '' "
' Has a Happy Thought.
Then a happy thougnt struck the
stranger. Perhaps Mr. Sparks had enough
to cover the payment of the bill and they
could get the banknote changed on the
train. It wasn't .clear just who could be
found on the train with' sufficient money
to change a $1,000 bill, but It Is presumed
the stranger placed Infinite confidence In
the Pullman porter's ability to change a
banknote for a small amount.
Well Sparks dug down Into his jeans and
brought up some money, but It wasn't
enough.. Then he brought forth $00 which
he had drawn as a witness In the federal
court. This with what loose change the
stranger had was just about enough. The
stranger took the money, hurried out,
promised to be back In twenty minutes,
urged Sparks to be sure and wait and
then he waved a polite adieu, stepped into
the elevator and disappeared.
Mr. Sparks is still waiting for the agree
able stranger and the police are looking for
him so that he won't miss the next train.

An Important
Correction'
There still seems to be a mistaken Idea
among some of our many friends and pat
rons that we have moved. We wish to say
to them that we are still In the same place
and same building that we have occupied
for the past eighteen years, and have abso
lutely nothing to do with the studio on the
opposite side of the street. To assure your
self of the high grade work that has made
the name HEYN B0 well known to you dur
ing the past twenty-five years, make no
mistake as to our location. As has been
our custom for years past we are giving
as a free Christmas Souvenir until Decem
ber 16th either a fine enlargenment or a
Water Color with each new dozen photos.

That was some time ago,
prise we can't get over it.
You will be surprised too, and will not soon get
over it, when you find that our N ' '
Economy Washed Nut Coal, $5.75
is better than any other cooking coal sold in Oma
ha. That's a fact, we know because we use it in
our own homes, and have hundreds of customers
who tell us the same. Try it and then you win know.
We use "Yell-o" wagons, of course.
