n WAS HEROIC TREATMENT.
Hut IL Cured the Man of a Had Case
of UiccOugh.

OF uircOugh.
A Binghampton man began to hiccough
last Saturday. relates the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. lie hiccoughed up all day and all
night and was hard at il Sunday morning
Every remedy that his alarmed friends
gave him seemed to accelerate the hics.
People sent in from all over town and
recommended sure cures. And he steadily
grew worse.
Then a wise neighbor had a bright idea.
He thought Il all out by himself He went
over to the hiccoughers home and was
ushered into the room where the afflicted
one was fast hiccoughing his life away.
"Hullo." said the neighbor In a light
and cheerful tone. "How's the old soak
this morning."
The sufferer rolled his eyes at the neigh
Dor in panied surprise.
Don't give me any of your crocodile
giances,' snorted the frined. "If you'd
quit drinking when / told you to you
wouldn't be In this shameful condition. ''
"Wh- hic-at's thhic-at?" gasped the sick
man.
"Oh. don't come any of your innocent
business on me-" cried the neighbor. IL
know you. you old sponge"
The hiccougher's face turned red.
What Eic did you -call -me?" he slut
tered.
Called you a sponge. you lobster" bel
lowed the neighbor. You're a pretty OBJ
ject lesson for your unfortunate children
amt you, you gulping old hypocrite!"
Get out of my hic- house!" roared the
sick man.
60 to blazes!" yelled the neighbor. I'm
going to stay right here and see the last
Of you. The people on the street sent me
over. Wait until the old VOLTS gone
they said, and then wave a flag out o. the
window They're going to have a jollia-
cation supper and fireworks tonight-and
don't you dare to disappoint 'em,"
This was too much for the hiccougher
He said several very bad words as he
made dash at the neighbor and they raced
around the room a half dozen times-the
hiccougher getting msdder at every jumr
and then the neighbor darted through
the door and escaped.
The sick man flung a flower pot at him
as he raced down the yard. and then he
suddenly realized that his hiccoughs had
gone.
For that was a part of the neighbor's
theory, you see. He believed that IL nc
could get the dying man real excited and
angry the afiiction would leave him
And he proved he was right.

Many republicans are up in arms in op-
position to the proposition put forth by
Mayor Kelly and his aide do camp Johnston
In relation to the dividing of the city into
six wards and electing councllmen ct large.
Such action would result in turning the
city over to the democrats with no hope
of recovery by the republicans What the
bulk OF republicans want Is u division of tho
First ward, the dividing line to be Twenty
fourth street. BY a division of this sort
two republican wards, will be formed thus
making only five wards instead Of six. I,
10 understood that Mayor Kelly is heartily
In favor OF the six-ward plan and will use
his influence to have this section OF the
new charter adopted by the joint committee
Some people even go so far as to say that
II the proposed charter is accepted by the
legislature and there Is an election in the
spring Kelly will swing over to the demo-
Gratis and be candidate for mayor on the
democratic ticket. This action on Kelly's
part WILL however, dlsarrange the plans
already made by DR.. Ensor. who expects
to be the nominee of the democrats I'm case
there is an election in the spring.
In speaking of this matter a well known
republican said last night that the demo-
cratic members of the council charter COM
mittee along with Mayor Kelly want to
divide the First ward at street, thus prae-
tically making two democratic wards. This
Will not. II is asserted, be permitted by

The city council Is billed for a meeting
tonight, when II Is thought that the mat
ter Of paying the members OF the fire and
police Departments will be taken up. 1t is
sincerely hoped by members OF Mayor
Kelly's official family that some arrange
ments may be made to pay the men now
in the employ of the city, in order that
they may be provided with the necessaries
of life.
AS mentioned a few days ago, there is
talk Of imposing a general occupation tax
in order to derive revenue, which will be
lost by the increase OF the liquor license
from $500 to $1,000. In many quarters this
tax, which is being advocated to some ex-
tent by Mayor Kelly. is considered just the
thing while others do not like 1t at all.
Concerning the proposed occupation tax
we'll known attorney said last evening
II am opposed. to any measure which will
cause business men and professional men
to pay what Is called an occupation tax.
Some years ago lived In a city in a neigh
boring state where such law was in ex-
istence and II was considered obnoxious by
all business and professional men. This
tar was contested and the case taken to the
supreme court. No one who could get out
Of 1t ever paid this tax, because 1t was con e
sidered unjust and unfair. l would suggest
that instead OF burdenihg the men in
smaller lines OF business In South Omaha
In addition to the already heavy taxes, the
proper way would be 70 make tho great
corporations pay somewhere near their
proper share Of the expense Of maint al ming
the municipal government"
Continuing In this strain the attorney
said that 1t was simply ridiculous to value
packing plants at the figures now turned
in by the assessors He holds that with O
fair valuation the levy would be less and
an equal division OF taxation given to all
