LOOKS LIKE SEVENTEEN CENTS
Check Received By Chairman HOfeIdt
of board Of County Com
m~issiOners.

Chairman Hofeldt Of the Board of County
Commissioner received yesterday a let.
ter which he intends to have framed and
hung, together with the sender, in the
chambers Of the board at some convenient
date in the immediate future. With the
letter came a check for II cents, which he
may have hung, also, as Indicating the idea
Of county finance which at least one man
in the county is cherishing.
In 1866 the sender OF the letter WED the
county OF Douglas IL cents and 5 cent?
taxes. Since then interest on the former
has accrued in the sum OF rs cents and or
the latter in the sum OF IS cents. Thus the
original account stands at II cents, but the
interest account at S1.23. The economical
taxpayer sent a check for the II cents and
stated that he supposes he is now square
with the county. Chairman Hofeldt said
well, never mind what he said. 1t WASH
for publication, anyhow.

Omaha is loyal as a rule to her own
interests, but Omaha should not forget that
a great life Insurance company like the
Bankers Reserve Life association lie worth
more to the permanent business prosperity
Of the city than a wholesale house or fac.
tory. Business men of omaha who arc
increasing their life insurance investments
should not overlook their own interests
by passing this solid growing and aggres-
sive young company. Its policies are just
as good as the best and perfectly safe. All
policies are secured by a deposit OF APP
proved securities with the state Of Ne

ROW AMONG RETAIL CROCERS
Dissention Over the Personnel Of the Asso-
cations Legislative Committee.
OBJECTION TO FISCHER AS CHAIRMAN
Robert smith Refuses to serve on
Committee Because He says Il IL
Not Headed by Representa-
tive Business Man.

Internal dissension which threatens 10
injure the power Of the Retail Grocers' as
ISOLATION has come to light and there IL
some evidence that the legislative commit
tee which has been selected to represent
the state organization at Lincoln before the
Legislature will have more difficulty in
bringing about peace in the ranks than 1t
will In impressing the law makers. The
dissension centers around the appointment
OF the committee, which was made by o. c..
Thompson OF Blair. The statement Of
Robert Smith, one Of the parties to the
difficulty, is as follows:
when Mr.. Thompson was in the city l
was called into conference with him and
the matter Of the appointment of the COM
mittee was brought up. l told Mr.. Thomp-
son that it had been practically decided
that w. J. Hunter Of this city should be
chairman and he told me that that was his
understanding. / said no more about It.,
but told Mr.. Thompson that l would serve
on the committee. but did not care to be its
chairman, as | had all could attend to as
chairman Of the legislative committee Of
the Omaha association. A short time after
that | was called up by Harry Fischer, the
secretary of the association, and was told
that the committee would consist Of Mr..
Youngblud Of Lincoln, Mr.. Cook OF Blair,
w. J. Hunter and Robert Smith, with Mr..
Fischer as chairman.
Protests Against Fischer.
Then l Immediately made up my mind
to decline a place on the committee. /
wrote to Mr.. Thompson protesting against
the appointment of Harry Fischer as chair
man OF the committee for four reasons, tho
principal one being that he is a paid en-
ploye of the organization and not a mem
Der, and hat the rules Of the organization
distinctly limit his powers, not giving him
any right to serve on any committee except
the executive committee, OF which he Is
expressly made a member. l told him also
that Mr.. Fischer had always made himself
too prominent. He has taken credit for
work which has been done by members of
the association and has tried to impress
upon those with whom he came In contact
that he was the whole thing. He has posed
as the master OF the members and has de-
voted more time TO his private business
than he has to the work Of the organization,
although ne is paid to divide his time be-
tween the state and the local associations.
"Mr. Thompson has been imposed upon,
and when the matter is brought to his at
tention he will see his mistake, and l hope
he will rectify it, II he does not he will
have a hard time to get a working COM
mittee before the legislature. The chair
man Of that committee should be a man
engaged actively in business; one who can
speak with authority Of knowledge, and II
the man whom the majority of the local
association desired had been appointed we
would have had confidence in the ability Of
the committee to get results"

How to Avoid the Dangers of n Col,

Everyone must realize the dangers at
tending a severe cold and that 1t is always
prudent TO remain indoors until the danger
is passed. Many, however, do not feel able
to lose the time and will be interested in
knowing that a severe cold may be broken
up and all danger avoided by the prompt
use Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It
not only cures, but cures quickly and
counteracts any tendency toward pneu-
monia.

NEW SUITS IN
CIRCUIT COURT
Territory Must Defend Title
Against Private Fishery
Claims.

The Territory of Hawaii is going to
have it's hands full in defending the
titles to the public fisheries from the
number of new suits recently filed TO
compel recognition of private fishing
rights. Two such suits We're filed yes
terday. The Kapiolani Estate sues for
certain fishing rights near the harbor
of Honolulu, and known as the sea
fishery Of AIokanea. The action is
brought under Chapter 6, Sections %
and Sc of the Organic Act.
Victoria Ward sues for the, same
privileges in the fishery at Kululuaeo
Akula Woodward has brought suit
against Joseph Woodward for absolute
divorce. She alleges desertion and iail-
ure to provide. The PARTIES were mar
ried ini Honolulu March so, 1892
The records for the past year show
a considerable increase in the number
of cases docketed. There We're SIS
as against 3S6 in 1900.
Ninety-two cases were disposed of in
Federal court.
There is likely to be another income
tax appeal. The Oahu Railway and
Land Company viii carry. it is said, its
case to the Supreme Court, on the
ground that under it's franchise the
company cannot be taxed for a certain
number of years from 1855.

Paris BIaCkmaiIer
Worked Royalty

Paris. Nov. 1.-THE latest disclos-
ures' concerning the recently printed
story about the infatuation OF the
Crown Prince OF Germany for Miss
Gladys Deacon. bring to light an as
founding story OF blackmail by Paris
journalist. II is stated on the bes.
authority that man claiming to rep
resent the newspaper that flrst printed
the story collected 10000 francs (s2OOO)
from Mrs. Deacon and $4,000 francs
ts1O000) from Prince Radolin, the
German ambassador to France. by
threatening to. exploit the story fur
Their.
Even this did not satisfy the black
mailer. He went after more, and only
the Intervention Of the Minister OF
Foreign Affairs and the States Attor-
ney broke up the scheme. After Mrs.
Deacon had paid the money to the
blackmailer, she reported the matter to
Prince Radolin. who, II is said, COM
mended her for her prompt action in
preventing further publication.
Within short time the blackmailer
made call upon Prince Radolin. He
produced a mass OF alleged affidavits
from English servants purporting to
reveal facts that would astonish the
world II printed in connection with the
Irritation between the Crown Prince
and the American girl. These alleged
afidavits had not been presented to
Mrs. Deacon.
Radolin paid $4,000 francs and secur-
ed possession Of these anidavits. II
was not long before the blackmailer
again called on Mrs Deacon. this time
with copies of the affidavits he had
sold to Radolin and demanded 10000
francs. She secured delay, and then
notified Radolin, who appealed to the
French authorities to curb the black
mailer.
No confirmation of this story can be
gained from either Prince Radolln or
the Minister OF Foreign Affairs, al
though both admit that the Prince
parted with $4,000 francs. But not for
biackmail The money. they assert,
was donated for "hygIenic purposes"
10 aid some philanthropic undertaking.
