Last Act in the War Between the As
SCISSORS and Board Of Appeals.

The bills of the assistant assessors,
amounting to about $4,000 which were
laid over by the auditing committee
until such time as the assessors turned
over the books to the board of revision
ana appeals. were taken up again last
night and approved. the assessors
having i'm the meantime relinauished
the books.
The auditing committee claims there
was no spite work in their first move.
They simply could not approve of the
bills until such time as they knew that
the assistant assessors had completed
their labors and the best evidence of
this was to be had by perusal of the
books on which they worked.
A claim of $50 for ground rent NJ a

A new light has dawned in the dra-
matte world of Omaha in the person Of
Miss Helen May North, talented young
actress, who has been obliged to give up
a very promising career on the stage,
owing to the death of her mother. She
is the daughter of J. E. North and is a
Nebraskan worthy of honor. She made
her debut with Ramsey Morris, in Mon
treal, the play being "Joseph." Since
then she has played many parts and her
recent work was an engagement in which
she played star parts jointly with Miss
Blanche Booth, niece of Edwin Booth.
The simplicity OF Miss North's manner
will win for her many friends and with
her comely stage presence and her musi-
cal voice she will undoubtedly establish
herself as favorite for concert programs
and artistic affairs in the city. Miss
North will remain a resident Of Omaha.
