Mr.. Sewall was made special agent Of
the state Department to represent the
United States during the times before
actual territorial government was in

He made Il good impression upon Sec

not have much to do with the political
features of the preliminary work, was

Mckinley stood. thought that he would

however, there seems TO
have been a change in the direction of
the ambitions of the former minister.

THE CHRISTMAS praise service
last evening az Central Union
ehurch was a musical treat and
all who attended were satisfied that
they had had the privilege of listening
to 4 program replete with musical feat
ures OF high order. The soloists for
the occasion charmed the audience with
their melody and the program gave
genuine pleasure. y large number were
present IN the audience. Much of the
space on the main floor was reserved
for the boys and girls of the Kane
hameha schools, nearly two hundred of
them being in attendance. Owing TO
the distance which the students had to
come they were a trihe late in arriving.
Many of the students were obliged to
find seats in the gallery owing to their
large numbers.
The regular choir was augmented by
number Of other singers to render the
special music during the holidays. All
the chorus work was exceptionally well
done and the soloists were in splendid
voice. The entire program was car
ried out without any changes or sub
stitutiOns being necessary. Although
Rev. W. NJ. Kincaid, the pastor of the
church, was to have delivered an ad-
dress. he kindly offered to omit it in
order that the services should not be
continued beyond the usual hour for
closing.

program was Mr.. Edgar a. p. New

Tax Delinauents TO
Action.

The announcement made by City Treas
urer A. ii. Hennings that on February Is
he will establish routes in the city and
begin a systematic levy on the furniture
and other personal property Of people who
refuse to pay their personal taxes has
aroused delinquents in a surprising man
ner. When the office opened up Monday
morning a crowd of people was waiting to
pay their obligations.
Before the day was ended more than $500
was paid into the treasury on delinquent
personal taxes. The sums were mostly
small. ranging from 81 to $40. Distress war
rants had been drawn for most OF the
sums which were paid in and Mr.. Hennings
and his assistants tore up several hundred
warrants which would have been served
next Monday.
Several vans will be hired when the
wholesale service OF distress warrants Is
begun and deputies will be sent along
different streets and instructed to levy
on the property OF everyone who has failed
to pay taxes. The service will not be
limited to any certain part of the city

Judge Fawcett has issued an order dis
solving the injunction restraining Josephine
Vetrouski from selling or mortgaging the
property decided to her by her aged suitor,
John Kudzoir. Miss Vetrouski Is 16 years

property in the north part of Omaha by her
promise to become his bride.
After the girl got possession OF the prop

ter sport suffer Bended
Limbs,

Coasting is very popular amusement in
Omaha these days, and conditions were
never more favorable for the sport than
now. The low temperature OF the last week
has preserved uniform coating OF snow, so
that there are few bare patches to EN-
barIass the youngster with the mittens and
the sled, and nearly every hill in the city
has had Its quota OF merry coasters.
But coasting, like every other wholesome
outdoor sport, has it's dangers. and there
have been several accidents In consequence
Clifford Ratekin, while sliding down the
Mason street hill the other day, sustained
a compound fracture OF the leg, and Monday
afternoon the member was amputated by a
surgeon in Clarkson hospital, Cedric
Cremer and Mary Howe have also sustained
broken legs, though their injuries are less
severe, and Bob McCammon is report ed
