Outstan JUDGMENT Is.

Last year the unpaid judgments against
the city were so numerous that levy OF
1872 mills had to be made to meet the
requirements Most of the pressing judg-
ments have now been paid off and few APP
pealed cases are before the supreme court
The latter will not have to be taken care
of the coming fiscal year SO that the coun-
ell has levied only 31a mills for judgments
The outstanding judgments are: James Pow
ell. balance, 1000; Laufenburg & Clank
Sl54; f. Pivonka, s247; Bradford & Kinsler
$3.50; Ena Henderson, $315; f. G. Bang, ad-
minstrator, 5000; II. Owens, S25; A
Schlegel, $685. j. B. Watkins, $25; total
$5,S91. This is a remarkably good showing
at this time. The judgments have been
paid by making high levles and now that
the burk has been disposed of the council
feels that it should reduce the levy as much
as possible and this has been done. Coun-
Gilman Kelly was very much in favor OF
making 3-mill levy for sinking fund pur-
poses, but as this would bring in only So 0OO
on the valuation, it was not deemed advisable
at this time. The sinking fund would re-
main in the hands of the treasurer for sew
eral years before enough could be added
to it to make it available for the redemp-
ton of outstanding, bonds. While many OF
the members of the council favor a sinking
fund, it was stated that the city had been
through three high Tevies during the last
three years and should now be treated to a
comparatively low levy. To establish a
sinking fund to be of any use 10 mills would
have to be levied and that is out of the
question. The city will therefore continue
TO refund its bonded Indebtedness for the
next few years.

The frequent bursting OF the giant fire.
cracker, the frightful report of blank cart
ridges, fired in quick succession, the cessa-
tion of business in most of the stores, big
and little and the display of patriotic colors,
which was quite generally observed through
the business portion of the city, were the
only evidences yesterday in the heart of
one took into consideration that the large
crowds, which collected in the street cor
ners OF the principal thoroughfares and
jammed the cars leading to the exposition
grounds, the parks and other outside points,
were en- route to their destinations for the
purpose OF observing the national holiday
In the city there were no pageants of a
military and civic nature, no exercises COM
memorative of the natal day, which have
characterized the city in the past and have
always brought thousands from out in the
state to celebrate the Fourth in Omaha.
But Omaha observed the Fourth. Be-
cause it was quiet down town did not signify
that the people of the city were any the
less cognizant OF the day nor its meaning.
The cars leading to the exposition grounds
were crowded. There were many who cele
brated the occasion by witnessing the
ball game and athletic sports at the Young
Mems Christian Association park and there
were yet more who, in groups, large and
small. sought out for themselves some pleas
ant retreat where the day was enjoyed in
recreation and rest.

More Rain in Nebraska

FAlRBURY. Neb.. July 4.-(Special.)- y
During the last thirty-six hours rain has
fallen in gentle showers to the amount OF
1.21 inches and the weather outlook is for
more to come. The corn is nearly all laid
by. so the rain does no damage, but much
good to the corn and pastures.
DOUGLAS, Neb., July 4.-(Special,)- y
These parts were visited by SPLENDID rain
last night just what was needed. What fall
wheat which was not winter killed is fine
and about ready to harvest. The potato
crop gives evidence OF being immense, the
best for years. Corn is being laid by. Oats
are headed out and are heavy.
OSCEOLA, Neb., July Especial. Sun

at this writing it looks though there
was more to follow.

Country Club u FizzIe.

1t is feared that the scheme to organize
a country club and acquire Seymour lake
and park has fallen through. A meeting OF
those interested was to have been held on
Friday of last week, but only one or two
showed up. Several who professed to be
interested told w. S. King and Jack Wat
kins to go ahead and they would stand by
what was done, but King and Watkins are
not built that way. DR.. Miller has made a
generous offer to the people of South Omaha
but unless some steps are taken at once
to accept the propositions of the doctor the
park and lake will be disposed of to Omaha
parties. A club of the kind proposed is
just what great many South Omaha peo-
pie have been looking forward to for a long
time and it is barely possible that an organ
ization may yet be perfected.

The heavy rain OF last Monday night un-
dermined the Spaulding -four mill to such
an extent that it tipped over Tuesday morn
ing. The building is wrecked and much OF
the machinery broken and ruined There
was about 81, 600 worth of flour spoiled also.
This is surely hard luck for the owners

went between two little boys sleeping upon
a bed, scorchng their hair and scorChing the

The prospect for a corn crop in Phelps
county never was better in the history of
the county. Small grain was cut short on
account OF not enough rain a couple of
weeks ago, but the farmers from different
parts OF the county all agree that there will
be at least haff crop of small grain if not
more.
The long protracted litigation between
Keith county and Perkins county was
brought to happy termination last Mon
day by Perkins county agreeing to pay
Keith county the sum of $3.50 in cash.
This litigation arose out of the settlement
between the two counties at the time Per-
kns county was formed in 1887.
l.. e. Schaefer's general merchandise
store at Kimbal was robbed Saturday night
by Henry Brecht, his clerk, who had only
been In his store a week and was an en-
tire stranger in town. The fellow took
suit of clothes, pair of shoes, some money,
about haff dozen pocketknives, large
quantity of jewelry, mostly rings, and some
other things, and disappeared some time
during the night. Mr.. Schaefer missed his
clerk Sunday morning also the articles
stolen, and Sheriff Maginns was
the thiefs track. He went up the railroad
track west stopping to talk with George
Phillips whom he met at Bushnell, and the
sheriff had no difficulty in overtaking and
arresting him before he reached Pine Bluffs.
He was brought back and lodged in Jail
Sunday afternoon. The preliminary hearing
was before Judge Linn, Tuesday and the
prisoner pleaded guilty and was remanded
to Jail to await sentence in district court.

Very Quiet Fourth.

No public celebration was held here yes
terday, but the small boys managed to make
1t livery from the first peep of dawn to the
going out of the electric arcs at midnight.
Some decorations were shown in the business
part of the city, but no general attempt at
display was made. The stock yards were
closed for the day and the packing houses
worked along with as few men as possible.
This gave several thousand employees a
days rest. Many attended the carpenters
picnic at Sarpy Mills, while others went out
to the exposition grounds. Most of the
stores closed at noon and the streets after
o'clock were practically deserted except by
the small boy with a bunch of crackers No
serious accidents were reported at police
headquarters and for a wonder the doctors

City Revenue Figures.

BY those who are figuring on the city's
revenue it is estimated that in addition &c
the income to be derived from the AZ mills
levy there will be $4,000 from other sources
These sources follow: From the county
road fund, s1,S27; fifteen per cent reserve
from former levies, $500; special license
fund, $4,000; miscellaneous, $4,000. This
amount will greatly assist in paying for the
deficiency in the fire and police departments
which will occur annually until the legisla-
ture allows the city to make larger levy
for the support of these two departments
Some approxlmates of the appropriation
have already been made, but the actual fig
ures will not be made public until the or
dinance is introduced in the council at tho
meeting on July II.
