UNION PACIFIC BALKS ON TAX
Offers Lais Thin Thousand Dollars for Six
Times at Much.
CITY TREASURER DOES NOT ACCEPT IT
Omaha Road Only One that Faye
Full Amount of Taxes, and
It Doea So I'nder 1
Protest.
The Union Pacific haa refused to pay tha
current city taxea levied upon lt mileage
and terminals In Omalia, offering $949.41 In
payment of $6,329.60 on the books against It.
City Treasurer Hennlnga promptly refused
to' take the lesser amount and representa
tives of the company paid over the required
taxea assessed on real estate and personal
property.
The otty assessment on mileage and
terminals was obtained by multiplying the
figures per mile given by the State Board
of. Assessment by five. The proportion
offered by the Union Paclnc, however, Is
even less than one-fifth, showing that the
assessment of the atate board waa rejected,
consistently with the aulta in the federal
court aecklng to restrain Its application and
enforcement.
?he only other railroad that had paid up
or attempted to pay up taxes Saturday
morning war the Chicago, Minneapolis,
St. Paul & Omaha road, which paid, under
protest, $1,984, the full amount levied. At
torney Carl C. Wright banded over the
money personally.
Flood on Last Day.
The last day tor the payment of current
taxes opened In the treasurers office with
a whoop, a big pile of checks and a long
line of people waiting for the opening of
the doors. If is taken over the
counter during the day and evening TS per
cent of the current taxes will be. collected
and last year's record equaled. Friday
$108,000 waa paid over. Aa the assessments
are 20 per cent leas this year than last,
however, the volume of money will not be
nearly so great.
The big corporations and heavy taxpayers
of all descriptions held off until the last
moment, but nearly all have had receipts
prepared and cashed In at some time during
the day.
The treasurer'a office will be open tonight
aa late as taxpayers keep coming.
For the last several days the force has
worked until midnight and returned to duty
at 5 and 6 o'clock the next morning.
The Union Paclilo claims that In making
the levy the taxing board of the city of
Omaha unlawfully and wrongfully refused
to accept the return of the State Board of
Astesament of $16,000 per mile, but "illeg
ally" multiplied the return of the state
board by five, and thereafter levied upon
a full value of 10,000 per mile.
The supplemental bill is filed against the
same defendants. Including the city treas
urer of Omaha.
The claim Is made that Tax Commis
sioner Fie mine of Omaha is required by
the statutes to extend upon his records
the assessed value per mile aa returned
by the State Board of Equalization to the
county clerk, and that he did this at the
rate of $16,000 per mile; that thereafter the
city council, sitting as a board of equalisa
tion, determined the value of the Union
Paclnc property In direct violation of law.
at $S,000 instead of $111,000 per mile, and
that the levy determined upon at the time
for Omaha was 1U& mills.
The bill goes on to say that the com
plainants offer to stand and abide by the
final order of the court In this case in
respect of the taxes properly, legally and
lawiuuy assessea ana pay to the city
treasurer of Omaha such sums aa he Is
legally entitled to under and by virtue of
the tax warrant held by him.

DOG PLEADS HIS OWN CASE
Canine and Ills Boy Master Touch
Heart of the Police
Judge.
i
The unusual spectacle of a dog pleading
for his life was enacted before Police Juilgj
Berka Friday morning. Whether or not
the canine realized his life was In Jeopardy
has not been determined, but the sight of
the dog perched up on the city prosecutor's
chair, directing a doleful whine toward the
magistrate, and the owner of the dog, a boy
of 9 years, eagerly holding a piece of rope
and watching the judge's face, moved the
heart of Police Judge Berka to the point
of allowing the dog a respite. Phillip Gavin,
like the boy In the play, took the dog in
his arms and released a tear drop that
trickled down his smiling face. He cried
for Joy.
The scene occurred when P. Oavln, the
boy'a father, waa arraigned In police court
on a charge of keeping a vicious dog. C. E.
Showera waa complainant In the case.
"Penny, my dog here, can do lots of tricks
and he never bites. Even our chickens eat
out of his mouth," began the boy, when he
addressed the Judge, and then paused In his
child-like manner to see what effect his
words would have on the Judge. The Judge's
face softened and he leaned his head over
the rail to get within closer range of the
child who was acting as counsel for bis
dog.
"Penny was a tramp' dog when he came
to our house, but I took him in and he has
stayed with us three years. We have a yel
low cat we call "Sandy," and you should
see Penny and Sandy play together," con
tinued the boy.
The Judge harked back to the days when
he was a boy and loved a dog, and the old
days came back to him with a bump.
Then the boy and the dog left the court
room, again to enjoy life in that little
world In which there are only a boy and a
dog.

Business Just Now.
SCAVENGER TAX CASES PILE UP FAST
Five Hundred Answers Filed In City's

Lambert,
Inloa Paeiflo Gets Temporary Writ
Against Collection.
Judge Munger of the federal court haa
granted a temporary writ of Injunction, on
motion of John N. Baldwin and Udson
Rich, attorneys for the Union Pacific lull
wejr company, to restrain A. H. Hennlnga,
treasurer of the city of Omaha, from en
forcing the collection of taxea assessed
against the Union Pacific by the City
Board of Equalisation as Its recent sitting.
The hearing la fixed for July 1.
The application for the injunction was
granted upon the showing of the Union
Paeiflo in a motion for leave to file a sup
plemental bill pertaining particularly to
the taxes levied against the property of
the railroads In the city of Omaha, which
become due and delinquent July 1, and the
filing of such supplemental bill. In addi

TRAVEL IS HEAVIEST EVER
Trafflo Hushes Koada to Meet D-
taada, Says Wakeley of
the Burlington.
I W. Wakeley, general passenger
agent of the Burlington lines west,
made the statement Friday morn
ing that travel was never so lively
as at present and tnat all or me
western roads were hustling for equipment
to handle the . business. The east bound
business for the first two weeks of July Is
always enormous and besides there are
special parties and excursion moving in
every direction. Fourth of July will make
a big additional business for all of the
roads. The Northwestern officials are wor
ried also over equipment and are thinking
seriously of calling on the Chicago end for
cars. At several Important points along
the line of all of the roads big firecracker
day celebrations have been planned and
excursions will be run to these from the
surrounding territory so that all of tha
roads will be ued la the utmost.
The legal department of South Omaha is
being kept busy these days looking after
scavenger tax cases in the district court.
In all 615 answers have been tiled and all
will have to be defended In the courts.
These cases are now in Judge Troup's
court. There Is no hope of disposing of
all of the cases this year, and some will
have to be carried over until 1906. Where
answers have been filed In regular tax
cases the court's attention will be called
to these cases at once. City Attorney
Lambert states that only two protests have
been made to the courts on the 19u6 assess
ment of the city tax commissioner. These
are the cases of Clay Robinson & Co., and
the Cattle Feeders' Loan company. Theso
two cases involve about $100,000 In valua
tion on taxes. Mr. Lambert said that
these cases would not be reached this
term of court and that the city council
would go ahead and make the levy on the
valuation as returned by the Board of Re
view, Ignoring these cases entirely.
While a large number of damage cases
have been docketed these will not be taken
up until the fall term. In nearly every
one of the damage suits filed the legal
department has, after an Investigation,
advised tho mayor and city council not to
make any settlement, but permit the cases
to go to trial.
Poultry Fanciers' Medina;.
A meeting of poultry fanciers of Sarpy
and Douglas counties has been called for
Tueiday evening. July 11, at the office of
II. B. Fleharty In the Pioneer block. Twenty-sixth
and N streets. This meeting Is
called for the purpose of organizing c poul
try assooiatlon and arranging for a show
to be held In January, 1006. All persons
Interested In fine poultry are invited to at
tend this meeting.
City Hall Bond Case.
City Attorney Lambert stated Friday
that upon his motion the city hall case
would be advanced on the docket and
would be heard by Judge Sears on July
10. The Idea of advancing the case Is to
get the legality of the city hall bonds es
tablished as soon as possible. In speaking
of this case Mr. Lambert said that no
matter whloh way Judge Sears decided,
whether for or against the city, the case
will be taken to the supreme court. Aa
mattera now atand eastern bond buyers
will not take the bonds for a city hall
building until all litigation has been dis
posed of.
Falls to Pay Flae.
Police Judge King U wearing a worried
look now and all on account of his old friend,
Mrs. Hurley of Indlun hill, falling to ap
pear at police court Friday and pay a fine
of $27. Only recently Mrs. Hurley was
fined this amount on three different charges
of disturbing the peace. After the fine had
been imposed Mrs. Hurley talked In the
softeat tones her cracked voice would per
mit and told his honor that she would
show up on time with themecessary coin.
Up to the time the Judge went home last
night Mis. Uurley had uol appeared, Judge
King stated that he would send the woman
to Jail on Monday if tho money was not
produced.
Receipts Break Record.
Friday's hog receipts were larger than
expected, the total being 13.691 head, the
total receipts for the month being 301,289
head. For the month of June the receipts
exceed by 20,000 the largest run for any
one month In the history of the yards. A
live stock dealer said lust evening that be
sides being a record month better hogs
were never seen at this or any other mar
ket. While prices fluctuated considerably
the month waa one cf decided activity In
the hog yards.
Births and Deaths.
The birth and death returns for June
were lower than usual. Twenty-four births
were reported during the month, fourteen
being males and ten females. Deaths num
bered eighteen, seven females and eleven
males. In June, 1904, there were forty-four
births reported and twenty deaths. June,
1903, records show forty-six births and
twenty-two deaths. The low death rate, so
physicians say, surely speuks well of the
sunttary condition of South Omaha.

C. M. Schneider & Sous will close their
big dry goods store in the Walter Brandies'

RECEPTION TO THE FORESTERS
Drill Team of Omaha and Beech
Camps Given a Horn
Welcome.
t
In honor of the drill teams of the Omaha
camp No. 120 and Beach camp No. 1-ttt,
which have recently returned from the con
vention at Milwaukee, where they won
honors in the drill work there, the two
camps named held a reception at Myrtle
hall last night to welcome the members
of the teams back home and to express the
appreciation of the good work done by the
teams and for their untiring work in pre
paring for the competition.
A large gathering was present, both from
the Omaha camp and Beach camp, as well
as many members of outside camps. A
drill team from the Ancient Order of
United Workmen was also Invited and
took part In the informal reception.
The committee In charge of the recep
tion was: J. W. Bennett, J. C. Snyder,
H. D. Stone, J. G. Edmundson, C. E. Lis
ten, E. G. Nelhede, A. E. Baldwin and
H. Evans. II. M. Waring presided over
the gathering.
A feature of the evening was the pres-
J enutlou ot a bouqut (ti American Beauty
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy.
This is, unquestionably, the most successful medi
cine in use for bowel complaints, and it is now the
recognized standard over a large part of the civilized
world.
A few doses of it will invariably cure an ordin
ary attack of diarrhoea.
It has been used in nine epidemics of dysentery
with perfect success.
It can always be depended upon, even in the
more severe attacks of cramp colic and cholera
morbus.
It is equally successful for summer diarrhoea and
cholera infantum in children, and is the means of
6aving the lives of many children each year.
When reduced with water and sweetened it is
pleasant to take, which' is important when medicine
is to be given to small children.
Every man of a family should keep this remedy
in his home. Buy it now. It may save life.
Price, 25 Cents; Large Size, 50 Cents.
