The city needs money and Treasurer
Broadwell is exercising his right to collect
taxes General taxes are being paid in as
usual, but there is holdback in personal
taxes and the treasurer has taken the steps
allowed by law to collect these delinquent
taxes. Delinquent personal taxes bear in
terest at the rate of II per cent per annum
gnd this amount is added to all taxes after
January 1. The attention OF the taxpaying
public is called to the following provision OF
the revenue Jaw:
mo demand for taxes shall be necessary
but it shall be the duty Of every person sub
iect to taxation under the laws Of this state
to attend at the city treasurers office and
pay his taxes; and IL any person neglects so
to attend and pay his personally taxes until
after January ! next, when such taxes be-
come due the treasurer is directed to levy
and collect same. together with the costs OF
collection by distress and sale of personal
property belonging to such person"
Ever since South Omaha became a city
trouble has been experienced in collecting
personal taxes, and now it appears that a
determined effort is to be made to collect in
all delinquent taxes. Frank Burness has
been appointed a special tax collector and
will at once issue executions against persons
who are known to be slow pay. Mr. Burness
caused the issuance of two executions yes
terday, and will issue more as may be neces-
sary. The municipality needs all the money
that is due from all sources, and the treas
urer is thus being urged to follow out the
provisions Of the law in making collections.

UrYiycs Memory Of civil War scandh'
NEW YORK. Dec. lS.-Major General Ed
ward rerrero is dead at his home in this
city. aged 6S years. He was born In Spain
of Italian parents. His father was famous
dancing master and he himself became
teacher OF dancing lie served in the civil
war and for his bravery at Nntetam he was
commissioned brigadier general of Nolun-
teers.
In Grants final campaign, including the
siege of Potersburg he commanded the col
ored division Of the Ninth army corps and
on,Deccmbcr .. 1854. he was breveted major
general for bravery and meritorious
services"
General Forrero's death recalls one of the
great scandals of the civil war. At Peters
burg, when O mine was being blown up
which ongufcd seven companies Of the con-
federates and four cannon the colorod troops
and a brigade OF whites were to charge But
half the men laid down their arms and re-
fused to charge The other brigade 1900
strong advanced Until met by squad Of 300
c0nfoderates at the cavity left by the OK
ploded mine. They retreated without hrlne
a single shot Their support Ct l2Ov white
men were trapped in the mine and slaush-
tered almost to man.
BY the Investigation which was subse-
ouently made by a court of inquiry, of which
Major General w s. Hancock was president,
the failure Of the assault after the mine
explosion was ascribed in part to Brgadier
General Ferrero FOR want of readiness for
the assault. not going with his troops but
remaining in bombproof.'

Mrs. c. l.. Talbot has been chosen presi-
dent of the local library board, with Hetue
Moore secretary and Mrs. Carroll treasurer.
1t is understood that the books belonging to
the Library association are to be moved
some day this week from the High school
building to McReynolds' store on Twenty
fourth street. Superintendent Wolfe of the
public schools is not inclined to favor this
removal, but as he was not one OF the orig
iual organizers of the library board and did
not contribute to the purchase of books his
wishes are not being considered. The books
of the association, numbering about 1,OOO,
will be taken from the High school and
placed where the general public will re-
ceive some benefit from them. While the
newly elected directors are not begging for
donations, it is stated that all books sent to
the library will be properly classified and
thankfully received 1t is the intention OF
the present board of directors to do every
thing possible to push the interests OF the
library, and If possible secure municipal
recognition in the spring. A small levy will
assist greatly in keeping up the library and
will go a long ways toward paying for the
purchase of new books and the rebinding OF
cid ones.

of the directors of the Union Stock Yards

viaduct across the tracks. Plans have been
drawn for a bridge across o street and
those who have bought o street property are
sure CT good investment, but as specula-

ter weather s not fit for the building OF vi
aducts and it can be authoritatively stated
that no action by the railroads will be taken
in this matter until the weather is suitable
