Capt H. c. Twining's residence in the
northern section of the city last night.

of the abandonment of the child and
found that it had been left at the door
by a colored woman calling herself
Madame Hall. who lives in miserable
hut near the Walker Memorial Hospital,
where she is reputed to practice witch
craft. Further investigation disclosed
the fact that with the consent of a young
mother at the hospital. who refused to
give her name the child had been spirited
away from the institution few hours
before it was found at the residence some
distance away. The child was returned
this afternoon to the mother, who would

TAX MONEY ROLLS IN FAST
City Treasurer Receives About Four
Thousand Dol
lars I'm y Day.

The prosperous people Of Omaha paid
about $400, 900 in city taxes yesterday, most
of which we're for the current year, but
some for past years. On the same day and
the one preceding It in 1901 they paid
1927, 000-and that has stood as high water
mark until the mighty inflow Of yesterday,
which completely eclipses all previous days
at the treasurer's ONCE.
Beginning today all taxes become delin-
quent and must bear penalty interest OF
/ per cent per month, in advance. II is
the policy OF Treasurer A. H. Hennings
to keep as clean a board as is practical and
for that reason he generated fourteen en-
ployes from Z o'clock last evening until
midnight and then left four others to work
until Z O'Clock this morning. He said:
IL believe that our June collections OF
this year will total 800, 900 more than our
collections for the same month in 1901,
which were $745, o0o-and this notwith-
standing that the total product Of the levy
Of 30 mills this year is only 81, 12S, 4S4.95,
which is SOS, 237.37 less than the $780,
1928 produced by the 34-mill levy Of 1901.
For the last three years we have
cleaned up warrants through July and been
able to pay cash for them for some months
afterward instead OF having to register
them and allow them to draw their Z per
cent per annum interest. Surely the saw
ing is Justification OF the policy. In a day
or two / will have a more detailed state
ment to give out"
