Taken Under Abatement.

Arguments in the case of Ella r. Downs
against the heirs of the estate Of the late
A. S. Paddock were heard by Judge Munger
of the United States court yesterday after
noon. The decision will be handed down
at some future date. The property in liti-
CATION is the Paddock hotel at Beatrice.
The plaintiff seeks to have a receiver ap-
pointed to take charge of the property for
the purpose of caring for it and also to COL
lect the rents and profits. The heirs re-
sist, alleging that the hotel is doing a prof
table business and that the property is not
going to waste. AS a further defense the
heirs allege that the loan on the hotel prop
erty carries with it usurious interest.

Secretary Coburn OF the Board OF Public
Works is busily engaged in preparing no.
tees TO be served upon property owners in
cases where the council has by resolution
ordered a new sidewalk laid. The property
will be given fifteen days to lay his
sidewalk. II he fails TO do so the city will
order the city sidewalk contractor to build
the walk and its cost will be assessed against
the property.

sequence in business development. He
alluded to the increase of trusts as some
thing with regard to which the same ques-
tion might be prcpounded. He added, how
ever, that there are, in this case, elements
of peril TO the community, though these may
be averted by other coincident develop
ments.
American Politics.
The one feature in which the visitor foud
that his hopes had failed of realization
occurs in connection with American politics.
He had hoped that America would take the
lead in honest politics, as 1t has in other
respects, but his observation has convinced
that there Is more political corruption
here than even in England. In this connec-
ton he declared that the development of in
dividual character is the only salvation Of
the American people. No form OF govern
ment means much unless 1t is administered
by honest and public-spirited men, and no
law is worth the paper it is written on unless
it is backed by a sincere public conviction.
After leaving Omaha Rev. Macrae will go
TO Boston and New York BY way OF Chicago
and Canada. reaching Scotland some time In
June. He is making a particular study OF
the race question in its advancement since
his previous visit, and also of the efforts
that have been made by various states to
deal with the liquor traffic.

Demands His Insnrance.

A. c.. Clark has sued the Nebraska Mer-
camille Mutual Insurance company to collect
the value of an $500 policy on his house in
Morse G. Burners addition, which was de-
stroyed by fire last February. He alleges
that he had an insurance of $500 on the
house and $500 on the contents. A few days
after the fire occurred he filed the necessary
proofs of loss and agreed on a settlement OF
s7O5. Now he AYERS that the company has
refused to pay him a cent and he comes to
the courts for relief.

All the district court judges are having
an off day, as none of the Issues that were
set for hearing materialized. Judge Dick
inson had two applications for temporary in
functions to hear, but the parties were
ready in neither case and they were con-
tinued. The O'Hearn Injunction is now set
for next Monday and the Union Stock Yards
case was continued indefinitely. Judge
Baker had a couple of equity cases on his
docket, but in these the parties were also
unable to proceed TO trial.

Another case OF smallpox has been re-
ported to the city physician. The patient Is
a daughter OF James C.. Derby, IS years old,
living at 1920 South Thirteenth street. The
case is said to give promise of being severe.
The young woman will probably be moved
to the pest house. At any rate the police
will be instructed to keep watch OF the house
where the Derbys live. as there are a num-

Telephone Charges Abroad.

The British Parliament has grappled with
the telephone monopoly in England, says
tho Chicago Record. and passed a law au.
thorizing the postofice department to con.
struct a system Of lines in connection with
the telegraph service, which already belongs
to the government, and do all London city
and lOng-distance business in competition
with the Bell company, at much reduced
rates. Public telephones will be established
in all telegraph and post offices; private tel.
ephones will be placed in business houses
and residences to order, and the municipal
authorities in all towns of more than so, 900
population are authorized to establish tele-
phone plants for local service. The charge
in London now for the use OF a telephone is
SIS a year under a ive-years' contract, and
800 a year for less time. The government
will charge one-half that amount to begin
with and provide for a reduction in rates as
soon as circumstances justify It.
The charges in London are higher than
those Of any other city in Europe. Those in
Vienna are next. The following statement
will show the number of subscribers and the
charge for the use of a telephone for a year
in each Of the principal cities of continental
Europe:

OBJECTIONS TO BANKRUPTCY
James Stephenson Must Make an Additional
Showing,
CHARGED WITH coNcsAlING SOME ASSETS
Pauline Chapman Is to he Called Upon
to Answer Regarding Her Inter-
est In Her Fathers Estate,
which She Recently Obtained.

The indications are that James Stephen
son will not be allowed to become a bank
rupt unless he makes an additional show
ing in court Some weeks ago he filed his
bankruptcy petition in the clerks Office OF
the United States district court and all OF
the papers in the case were sent to Referee
Clapp, before whom testimony was taken.
At the hearing it came out that Stephenson
owed debts aggegrating S39, S5S and in ad-
dition TO this was liable on the bond Of
Henry Bolln, ex-city treasurer, to the ex-
tent OF S25, 900. The same testimony
showed that he was the owner Of nothing
aside from a little clothing and a small
quantity OF household furniture, all exempt
from execution.
AS a creditor OF Stephenson the Omaha
National bank has fled objections to his be-
coming a bankrupt, alleging that he is the
owner of valuable property which he has
concealed from the director and the numei-
Gus other creditors. The bank alleges tina:
he concealed four life insurance policies OF
$1,000 each, which have a large surrender
value, and are in the nature Of negotiable
paper. The parties filing the objections to
he report OF the referee ask that the pro-
ceeds Of these insurance policies be de-
clared a portion Of the estate. In addition
TO setting out the concealment OF the in
surance policies the DIRECTORS allege that
there is a residence Of the value OF s., 900
the title TO which is in the name Of Mrs.
Stephenson. They declare that this prop
erty as a matter OF fact belongs to Stephen
sen and that it should be sold and the pro-
ceeds distributed among the creditors.
Pauline Chapman's Assets.
Creditors OF Pauline Chapman have filed
objections to the report OF the referee, w.
II. Herdman. Some months ago Pauline
Chapman filed her petition, asking to be
declared a bankrupt. At that time she
alleged that she owed debts aggregating
about SIS, 600. In her schedules she listed
SIPS worth OF jewelry and clothing, which
she claimed as exempt. The case was sent
to the referee, who reported recommending
that the woman be declared a bankrupt.
Now the American National bank and sew
eral other creditors have filed afidavits
alleging that since Mrs. Chapman filed her
application she has come into possession
Of valuable property by the death of her
father, Louis Hax of St. Joseph, Mo. They
ask that the case be reopened and that the
applicant be required to answer questions
relative to the amount of her interest in
the Hax estate.
In the Chapman case 1t is alleged that
at the time of the applicant appearing be-
fore the referee she was aware of the fact
that she was about to become possessed OF
the Missouri property and that her answers
were made for the purpose of deceiying the
court.

lected to provide for her support, and that
he has also made a practice OF abusing her
when in his of moods.

REV, MISREPRESENTATION
Impressions Of America Received BY the
Distinguished s%ootchman.
HIS FIRST VISIT WAS THIRTY YEARS AGO
Wonderful Developments Since That
Time-Study of Various Kinds of
Business, Politics, Education
and the Race Question.

Rev. David Macrae Of Glasgow. Scotland,
who is making a six-months' trip through
the United States, is in the city and will
deliver a lecture at the Young Mems Chris
tian association building under the direction
of a number OF the prominent Scottish
Americans Of this city. Rev. Macrae has
once before made an extended tour OF this
country and has embodied his impressions in
a book, Americans at Home" that has run
through a number Of editions. His previous
visit occurred Just after the civil war. His
observations at this time deal very largely
with the changes that have occurred during
the last thirty years.
At the Omaha club yesterday Rev,
Macrae related some very interesting
"reminiscences of his first visit to America
and discussed very intelligently the differ
ences that have Impressed him during his
present Journey. II had Intended he said.
"to issue a new edition OF my book with
some revisions and notes to indicate my
new impressions. but I now find that this
will be entirely inadequate to show what
marvellous progress has been made in your
country since my previous visit. l snaii
have to write a companion volume In order
to convey an adequate understanding OF the
newer America.
One OF my most striking impressions on
the previous occasion referred to the Won
derful precocity of the children. This time
it does not seem so remarkable, as the
Scotch children have been developing in the
same direction. But there is still a greater
tendency to encourage individuality and in
dependence in the child in America.

The American Girls.

"In one respect have noticed a distinct
improvement. Thirty years ago | was struck
with the ethereal beauty OF the American
girls. They were bright and attractive, but
their beauty did not seem to be of a healthy
character. Since then cycling and golf have
been doing here what they have done in the
old country, and ! can see a great improve
ment in the physique of the American girls.
l also see more ruddy-faced and healthy
looking people OF both sexes than / did be
fore, and this change seems particularly ap.
parent in Utah and the west generally.
Among the material changes that have
impressed me most l may mention the won.
derful development in the application Of
electricity. The development of apartment
houses is also a novelty to me-, for ! find that
the people who we're living in hotels during
my previous visit are now occupying these
buildings"
Rev. Macrae also spoke OF the department
store as one OF the developments that has
interested him, and suggested the query
whether 1t is the result Of an evolution
similar to that by which the railroad ousted
the stage coach. II so then it is useless TO
fight it for it represents an inevitable

to our visit to the ship. had scarcely
heard OF wireless telegraphy, and were GER
talnly unacquaintei with even the rudi-
ments OF electricity. The men on board
send messages almost daily on their own
private affairs. and this naturally tends %
make their isolated life less irksome.'
Since Mr.. Marconi read his paper there
has been a practical demonstration Of the
usefulness OF his system in connection with
the life saving service on the English coast.
a barkentine went ashore on the treacher-
Gus Goodwin sands. and signals calling for
help were fred from the South Goodwin
lighthouse. These we're heard on the Good
win lightship, where the Marconi telegraph
has a station, and a message for help was
transmitted from there to the South Fore
land lighthouse. whence the call for life
boats went on to Kingsdown and Ramsgate.
The Ramsgate town council has since asked
the Trinity House for installations OF wire
lesss telegraph lines between all the light
ships and the shore.
y Ray Dangers.
The use Of the Rontgen photography,
Familiarity called "N rays has become so
common in medical practice that It Is worth
while to call attention to a danger which
seems to attend #, ard which has been
brought before the public by a suit in a
French court. \ Partisan woman, Madam
Macquaire, was suffering from a disease
which her physicians were unable to
diagnose accurately, and. in order to learn
more about It, they subjected her to the
Rontgen treatment. She proved to he a very
refractory subject, and before satisfactory
results could be obtained had TO submit to
three exposures, OF forty, forty-hve and
seventy-ave minutes, respectively. No bad
results appeared {. first; but in the curse
( a week she was found to be suffering
from electric burns, which penetrated 80
the bone, producing intense pain and maxi
ing her a cripple. Her husband sued for
plea that, as the Rontgen photography is
still in its experimental stage, the cause Of
Madam Macquaire's injuries was unknown,
and, therefore, no responsibility could be
imputed. The operator did not appear to be
conscious that he might be held responsible
for the consequences OF experiments per-
formed on his patients, and the court was
so much impressed by his plea that II ap-
pointed Or. Brouardel. dean OF the Paris
Faculty Of Medicine. to examine the VIII lie
subject. DR.. Brouardel is quoted as saying
1T is unquestionably the most urgent
problem the medical fraternity Of Paris has
before it." He also said that injuries from
this cause were numerous and were daily
be,oming more frequent. 1t will be seen
from this that the use OF the rays in
medical and surgical practice should be
guarded by every precaution until something
more is known about the process and its
nature and attendant dangers are better
understood.

The following song with a familiar
tune is quite popular o Father dear
father come home with me now, for ma
has some carpet to beat she's got all
the furniture out in the yard, from the
front door clear out in the street. The
stove must come down and be put in the
shed and the yard must be cleared Of
some grass, for it's time to clean house
and the DEVILS to pay and the front
windows need some new glass. Che.
Come home, etc. Father dear father
come home with me now and bring
some bologna and cheese, it's most
twelve o'clock and nothing to eat, Pm
so hungry Pm weak in the knees. All
the dinner well have will be cold scraps
and such, and we'll have to eat standing
up too, for the table and all are in the
back yard oh, / wish the house cleaning
was through. Chorus. Father, dear
father, come home with me now, for ma
is as mad as a turk she says that you're
only a lazy old thing, and that she shall
put you to work. There's painting to
do and paper to hang, and the windows
and castings to scrub, for its house clean
ing time and you've got to come home
and revel in suds and cold grub.

There can be no installing the hearty
welcome accorded to Admiral Schley by
the people ofthe West. Though the trip
was taken for a well deserved vacation
it has been transformed into something
of a triumphal procession. Between
Washington and Chicago innumerable
delegations invited the gallant admiral
to stop off to visit their respective towns,
while nearly every city, village and
hamlet along the Burlington Route from
Chicago to Denver requested the pleasure
of entertaining him. The only place
where he made a visit Of any duration
was at Omaha. There he remained Il
week, the guest of Charles f. Henderson,
general solicitor of the Burlington rail
road. While in Omaha he received
marked attention, the public and the
private receptions given in his honor be.
ing the greatest ovations witnessed there
since President McKinley,s visit last
year. May rs was spent in Denver, and
the following day in Colorado Springs.
Then the itinerary of the party includes
u trip to Salt Lake City over the Denver
& Rio Grande road. spending May % at
the Utah capital and returning from
there to Omaha.
