Fifth ward and the Second of the Stxth.N
A few aspirants for the position e.f demo
cratic committeemen filed, but the filings
were not general. The republicans also
filed a list of contemplated delegates to
the county convention. The general opin
ion appears to be that whereas the names
of precinct committeemen and delegates
to the county convention are not pilnted
on the primary ballots there Is no need
for filing. These names have to be writ
ten In by the voter tho same as the ward
councllmen have to be.

business Would prevent him giving proper
attention to the office If elected.
R. J. - Organ, democratic candidate for
the nomination for city solicitor, who hud
announced his withdrawal In favor of H.
I j. Robertson, stated last evening that he
had reconsidered the matter and that he
had decided to stay In the contest and
would be a candidate before the primary.

evening thtit for the present all tho peti
tions filed In his office Will be kept from

vassed the lists and placed the names of
the several candidates on the primary

the public. He reached this decision
after consultation with City Solicitor
Kimball.
Mr. McAneney expects to begin the work

ILLINOIS (ETRtl, BALKS OX TAX
Case Involves an Important Point for
tho ltr.
The suit of the Illinois Central railrosd to
restrain County Treasurer Mitchell and the
city of Council Bluffs from collecting taxes
for water and light on the most northerly
mile of Its track within the city limits was
submitted before Judge Tliornell In district
court yesterday on an agreed statement of
facts. While theamount Involved In this
particular case Is only 1133.4",. distributed
over the yesrs 1903 to l'JOS. Inclusive, the
final outcome Is of great Importance to the
city, as the collection of taxes for similar
purposes from other rallrouds depends upon
It. The total amount at stake Is copiputed
to be between $30,103 and flO.OHQ.
In paying Its taxes since ltnj the Illinois
Central, or more, correctly speaking, the
Dubuque & Sioux City railroad, by which
tho Iowa line of the Illinois Central Is
legally known, has subtracted one mile
from lis total mileage and declined to pay
the city levy for light and water taxes on
this mile. In refusing to pay these taxes
on this mile of track the railroad company
contends that It is not within reach of the
benefit of these two public utilities. It is
further contended by the railroad that the
taxes for water and light are not general,
but special taxes, limited 4o a certain dis
trict subject to such special taxes. It Is
further alleged that In making the levy
the city has never fixed by resolution the
limits for the special taxes, making the
levy general on all property subject to
taxation, although the city council la lim
ited legally In Its power to levy the taxes
complained of, except In certain limits,
territorially.
While the city does not contend that this
particular mile of track receives or Is In
reach of the benefits of light and walcr.
It maintains that the property of any par
ticular railroad within the city Is an entity
not divisible Into miles, to be assessed ac
cording to benefits, the measurement by
mile being merely the manner of deter
mining what proportion of the tax Is due
the city as separated from other political
divisions.
The county treasurer was represented at
the hearing by City Solicitor Kimball, while
the railroad company was represented by
Thomas D. Healy of Fort Dodge, general
attorney for the road In Iowa, and Harl &
Tlnley of this city.
CITY FltfAXCKS
TltOL'BLESOMK
Council la Confronted by Big Slump
In Hevcnne.
The finance committee of the city council,
which has begun to figure on tho budget
for the fiscal year commencing April 1,
realizes that It has a hard task before It.
Considerable retrenchment will be neces
sary during the next twelve months, but
where to commence puzzles the committee.
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 190S,
the sums appropriated for the maintenance
of the several city departments aggregated
$"4,750, br.t tho committee Is confronted
with a material decrease In the revenue
for the new fiscal year. The general fund
levy of 10 mills brings In approximately
but $3.CW. and tho remainder of the reve
nue has to be derived from saloon licenses,
fines and forfeitures In police court and a
few other minor sources. With tho closing
of the gambling houses and tho strict en
forcement of the saloon mulct law the
revenue outside of the general fund levy.
It Is figured, will drop off about $42,000.
If not more. The cost of maintenance of
the fire and police departments alone Is
close upon $50,000. and where sufficient
funds to run the other (Ssrartments Is to
come from la what Is sorely puzzling the
members of the finance committee.
The appropriation ordinance for the new
flscal'year has to be presented to the-city
council during March. The new city coun
cil, which will go into office April 1, will
have to maintain the city government on
the amount appropriated by the retiring
council, as the law specifically prohibits
the expenditure for any department exceed
ing the amount appropriated by the ordi
nance. Real Estate Transfers.

has been served with notice by General
Superintendent D. C. Noonan of the Min

The simple announcement that Mr. Max
Landow is to present a recital of pianoforte
music causes the musical world to stop and
consider whether there la anything else on
the carpet for that evening which must be
postponed, l or the recital is a necessity.
It is not surprising, for since Mr.
Landow s advent in this particular firma
ment he has not been treated with silence.
His name lias been spoken of with great
emphasis. He lias been dlscuased and dis
coursed upon, and his work is the reason.
For Max Landow is first, last und all the
time an unqualifiedly splendid pianist. He
is a thoroughly grounded musician, he
plays with the absolute assurance of a
master, his memory Is so prodigious that
one finds It a difficult matter to get words
to express one's astonishment.
In all the programs In which he has
played In Omaha he has never been guilty
of reiteration or frequent repetition: ha has
given lavishly of the great and good things
of the masters of ail times and he plays en
tirely from memory. Now this la not ao
very extraordinary, when one comes to
think of the greatest names of plsiilsis on
earth. Rut when one realises that this
man Is living hero and working here and
leaching here from day to day, it does be
corno worthy of special comment and com
