The general firnd levy for the year

tha law permits. The amount realized un

1904 the amount raised for the general
fund was $Jo9,7fi3.r7. In 1301 xthe amount
realised was $.40,4:2.14. In spite of thl
large Increase In the general fund Income
tha county board has found It necessary
In the last few years to transfer to the
general fund large amounts of unused
money from the road and bridge funds.
Covering the two years last, roughly
speaking, the amounts so transferred have
been: From the bridge fund. 167,526.46. and
from the road fund. tU,4t.83.
Hon and Bridget fandi Grew.
It also will be noticed that the road and
bridge fund levy has been increased quite
materially In certain years. It seems that
this was the only way the commissioners
could figure out to keep an anchor to wind-
ward for the purpose of holding the gen- !
eral fund up. It Is apparently a case of i
beating the devil around the stump In the
matter of managing county finance. A to
the law of the case, that is a matter that
appears to have been given only casual con
sideration. Thl method of financing Doug
las county seems to have become, as the
figures Indicate, a settled one with the
county commissioners. The levy for gen-
eral purposes cannot be over 9 mills, but I
the levy for the other two funds Is a flue-
tuatlng quantity, governed solely, bv the
need for a surplus, large or small, which
may be transferred from, them to the gen
' eral fund.
While the valuation for the purpose of
taxation has been growing In a substantial
fashion, the expense of county adinlnlstra-
Hon has kept pace with It, or gone ahead.
In 1904 the levy for bridge purposes was
lower than In 19(0, but for the road expenses
the amount has been increased materially,
.so that as a whole- the amount that might
be available for transfer to the general fund
has been qui to as large as formerly. The
tabulation shows that the general fund
tax has. gone up to $70,000 since 1898, an
average of $11,000 per year, and still dues
not suffice. "
ALL DAY ON DIVORCE CASE
Judge Treap Surprises Attorneys by
Citing Derision They Kvl.
droll y Had Overlooked.
Judge Troup devoted all of Wednesday to
heating arguments of attorneys. In the
Saunders divorce litigation. T. J. Mahoney
appeared for Mrs. Saunders and W. F. Our
ley for. Sherman Saunders, who Is fighting
his wife's demand for large alimony and a
fat attorney's fee. Mr. Mahoney presented
ohadujea going to, shew that 8aun4ors who
is president of the Farmers' and Merchants'
bank at Bloomfteld. In Knox county. Is
worth anywhere from $20,000 to $500,000. His
argument went to support Mrs. Saunders'
demand for $200 a month temporary ali
mony, pending the outcome of the suit, and
an attorney's fee of $1,000. He has been
paid, he said. $200 on this account.
Mr.'.Qurley resisted the payment of the
amounts named and also read the affidavit
outlined In Ths Bee Tuesday evening. In
which defendant contends that the proper
place to bring the suit Is At Bloomfleld, the
home ot the parties for years, and where
everybody Is familiar with his dally life.
Suundera also swears that his wealth In
stocks, lands and - personal ' property Is
largely exaggerated.
At the conclusion of th argument Judge
Troup took the question of alimony and
attorney's fee under consideration until
Thursday morning. '
It will be of Interest to lawyers to know
that in this case the defendant Is In court
almost without knowing It. His attorney's
contention that the court waa without juris
diction and that Saunders waa not properly
servers with summons was overruled on all
points. In .making this ruling Judge Troup
rather took away the breath of tha attor
neys In tha case on both sides by citing
them to a very recent decision of the su
preem court, wherein It Is ( held, In effect,
that to protest against the subject matter
of a petition Is to be brought squarely Into
court on. the Issues.

TEST OF COURT'S DECISION
Dally Rows Man Offer to Pay Water
Bill nt Kew Rnto nnd Com
pany Refuses.
Joe Pol car of the Dally News had busi
ness at the city hall Wednesday morning.
Mr. Polcar, against whose paper the
Omaha Water company has pending a
$60,000 libel suit, attempted to pay his water
bill for the month beginning May 11 at
the office of the water company. It was
figured on the 36 cents per 1,000 gallon
rate and amounted to 80 cents. He ten
dered payment at the rate of 26 cents,
amounting to 66 cents, which was refused.
Mr. Polcar contended that the dissolving
of tho federal court restraining order left
the order of the Water board reducing
ra(es effective May 1 and thereafter. He
was told that the company held differently
and to the effect that the' new rate take
effect July 22, or upon tha date upon which
the Injunction was refused by Judge Mun-
gef. . Thereupon Mr, Polcar pocketed his
67 oenta and his bill and went to the city
hall, to get -the opinion of City Attorney
Breen.
"There Is no question," said the city at
torney, "but that he order of tho Water
board became effective and applicable on
and after the date specified. It was the
action of tha water company that kept the
reduction from taking effect at once. Th
request . for an order forbidding operation
of the rates was denied, and It Is not with
in the company's power arbitrarily to
charge at the old rates for two months or
more during which the case was pending."
"Then what shall I do, asked Mr. Pol
car, "refuse to pay and let them turn off
my water If they want tot"
"Don't pay at the 36 cent rate," said Mr.
Breen. "I doh't think you need to worry
about your water being turned off."
Later the company accepted this under
protest. '

AUTO MEN ARE NOT ASLEEP
Powell and Fredrrlrkson Decline to
Sell Their Maehlnes for
Bogus Checks.
Seeing Omaha from an "auto" Is the
latest t-eme being worked on the automo
bile dealers of this city. And this without
cost at that. Tuesday a nicely dressed In
dividual presented himself at the Powell
garage on Farnam street, saying ha was
a banker from Falls City and would like to
buy an automobile. Several were shown
him and finally he decided upon a steamer
and asked to be taken around town to see
how It worked. After an hour's ride the
salesman returned the would-be purchaser
to the garage, where the man from Falls
City gave his check for the amount, sign
ing the name of Nell Johnson and saying
he would be after the machine In the morn
ing. This was too easy for Clarke Powell,
so he telephoned to Falls City, where he
gleaned the Information .that there waa no
such party residing there and that the
check was worthless. '
The same scheme was offered to H. B.
Fredeiickson In the same manner.
