From an examination of the above table
the folio wlnn facts may be developed: The
30,000 population of South Omaha pays only
a triflo over one-fifth of the taxes of the
city. The corporations and non-residents
pay the rest, or four-fifths, being: nearly
28 per cent of the proposed bond Issue of
$26O.CO0. after deducting $30,000 which the
stock yards company has agreed to pay
In cash (buying; and retiring- that amount
of tho bond insue as soon ns they are
placed on the market), is $t)l,(ioo. Tills Is
the sum total of what the taxpayers of
South Omaha will really have to pay for
the new sewer system. They have twenty
years in which to do It. If each Inhabitant
ItfUd exactly th name share of this ex
pense It would be $2.16 apiece. If each
taxpayer paid the same amount It would
be, counting one taxpayer for every five
of the population, $10.70 apiece. Paying; the
above amounts In yearly payments would
cost each person In the city 10.7 cents
annually for twenty years what it costs
to rldo up town and back. With the same
proportion of 1 to 6, each taxpayer would
have to pay 50.3 cents each year for twenty
years.
According to the statement of T. J.
O'Nell. a well known ral estate man of
this city, the advantages of a sewer always
will add to the value of the property the
cost of Its construction, which will aver
age $70 possibly. At this rate the tax
payer would get hack $3 a year for twenty
years at an outlay of 5o 2 cents. Further.
Mr. O'Nell stated that the rates of prop
erty for rent tncreaMe from S to 20 per
cent, according to the location in other
respects; often as much as from $5 to $10
per month. When South Omaha doubles
in population as It will In the coming- ten
years, the proportion of the outlay will
be reduced to that extent.
But when It la considered that the sewer
bonds do not require cash, but simply
interest at 44 per cent on $250,000, and that
the percentago of this amount to the tax
payers requires only $2,S98 to be paid by
them annually, the figures grow rather
small. It Is only $o.w for each person In
the city not quite a cent apiece.
Baalaeae for City 4 nuaell.
There will be considerable business to
come before the city council tonight. One
of the Items will be to pas upon the pay
rolls for the sularits of every one con
nected with the city government. It is
the Intention to pay on that evening also
after the council has allomed the payrolls.
This prevents the walling from Saturday
until after New Year's day. Just what the
arrangements will be Is not given out. but
it is likely that the treasurer s office will
be open to those who wish to draw their
salaries during the evening. The council
will open and pass on the remaining bids
for the requisitions of the coming year.
It is expected that bids will be wO bud
for the official stationery; but it Is possi
ble that there will not be so many bidders.
The bid for the clectrlo lighting of tho
new lire, hull, which was referred to the
building committee and to the architect
for examination, will be reported again,
though L. A. Davis said that the building
committee had not conferred with him as
yet with regard to the matter. The Storz
Brewing company again asks the council
to take up the matter of the lease on the
building now occupied by tho city as a
fire hall. This matter, which has been
postponed several times, will probably be
settled at the meeting. The water com
pany will report the new hydrant which
they have put in on the northeast corner
of Twenty-seventh and Jefferson streets.
Bin Taxpayers Coming In.
The T'nlon Pacific railroad paid It" taxes
yesterday under the usual protest. Its ap
portionment was $1,949.82. It paid all the
money, but objected vigorously to doing
It. It Is not likely that the company will
take any steps to recover what It thinks
Is In excess. Thursday the Cudahy Pack
ing company paid Its taxes, $8,614 44. The
big Item of all Is expected today, when the
I'nlon Stock Yards company will pay $32,228
for the support of the city.
Ordered to Leave City.
Judge King, after hearing the case of
the mute laborer, H. Kohn, who was
charged with assaulting a young woman of
the packing house employes Thursday aft
ernoon, decided that the fellow should be
run out of town. This was ordered and
Kohn promised to go peacably. He asserted
as an excuse for his act that the girt had
been teasing him and calling him a
dummy." He went away saying that he
would never come back to South Omaha.
Roys for Javr-nlle Court.
Four small boys from 11 to 14 years were

Aftermath of Sorrow arises Colored
Woman When About to He Sen
fenced to Penitentiary.
After overruling a motion for a new trial,
argued by Attorney J. H. Macfarland,
Judge Day Friday sentenced Mabel Reed,
colored, to one year and nine months In
the state penitentiary at Lincoln. She had
been convicted of robbing a visitor to the
red light precincts of $69.
Before the arrival of the Judge on ths
bench the Reed woman had been express
ing herself to the bailiff and bystanders
about the harshness of the world.
Well, here I am," she said, "and I guess
I must take what's coming. I only hope
the Judge will have mercy in Ms heart. I
didn't know much about the law and didn't
think I was much worse than other folks.
God knows how good or bad anyone Is, and
maybe I ain't any worse than a lot of other
people. Seems to me I always did have a
hard time In this yere world.
"I owe now four weeks board for my
little boy. He's in a boarding school. I
didn't want him to rrow up in tough
places, and he s all I'm worrying about
now. Whatever I got to take I'll take, but
I do hope he'll grow up pure and Innocent
and won't get any of the trouble his
mother had."

While his niiiHter and another man were
slowly but surely falling under the Influence
of tho deadly fumes from a gas Jet 111 a
room at the Aetna hotel. Thirteenth and
Dodge street, a llltlu black clog tried his
best to attract attention by harking until
he, too, was overcome and went over in one
corner of the room and died. Parties In
the hotel heard the dog barking, but paid
no heed. The two men were, as near as
could be deciphered from the rude scrawl on
the register, Ernest lyoatasher and Louis
Lutctsurger, aged respectively about 40 and
24. both laborers. Milo Scovcll. the night
clerk, said tho men came Into the hotel at
It o'clock Thursday night and asked for a
room. They registered and he assigned
theni to room 40 on the third floor. The
elder man paid the bill and Scovcll showed
them to the room, entered and lit the gas,
turning It down slightly nnd then leaving
the men. That was the last seen of them
until their dead bodies were found hy
George V. Glesekl, proprietor of the hotel,
who. being able to secure no response to
his knocks at the door, gained entrance
by pushing out the key and unlocking tha
door at 10:30 o'rloek lot night.
He was met by the stifling smell of gas
and saw the two men lying on tho bed.
When he touched them they were stiff.
Hastening to the police station he gave tho
alarm. Officer Sandstrom responded, fol
lowed later by M. E. O'Keefe and J. R.
Thorn, medical students, who. finding the
body of the younger man to be sill) warm,
worked over It until the arrival of Dr. Ar
nold. It was seen that further attempts
to bring back the flow of life were useless
and Coroner Bralley therefore took the
bodies in charge.
Mttle Known of Men.
Iitt I is known regarding the men further
than related by the night clerk. He said
lie had never seen them before and that
they came for a room in a partly intoxi
cated condition. Mr. Glesekl, however, said
that he has seen the elder man about the
city for some years and that he knows him
to be a railroad laborer. The younger man
waa a stranger to them both, and there was
nothing about his simple effects to Indicate
j where he came from. Some literature In
I the German language was found on both
persons. The dog was a black spaniel, and
probably waa the property of the younger
man and occupied the room with his master
and Ills companion. The gas had been
turned off and then the jet opened slightly.
It could not have been blown out because
of the shade and mantle. The fact that
there la no transom In the room accounts
for the failure of the fumes to spread about
the building. It Is not an unusual thing.
