TAX PROTESTS ARE PLENTY
lawyer Richardson and others Insist
that New Sewers Are I'm
necessary.

Protests against the special taxes levied
for the construction OF Central boulevard,
for the grading OF certain streets and the
building Of sewers are beginning to come
In. and the Indications are that Thursday
the city council, sitting a. a board Of
equalization, will have a busy day. Attor-
ney r ". Richardson is one Of several
who are displeased with the taxes levied
in Sewer Distric: No. 252. which is in the
northeastern part Of the city, near Cut on
lake.
I'VE already have all the sewerage we
need here" said he, "as there is a sixteen
inch sewer which was laid on Pratt street
during the first exposition year. Now they
want to lay another sewer on Henderson
street, and in the alley between Pratt and
Henderson and Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets, which will virtually honeycomb
that district with sewers. Ny property In
now within a half block OF the Pratt street
sewer, and II the present plan Is carried
out there will be two other sewers within
q half block Of it."
H.. D. Girton. George B. EDDY, W. T.
Nelson, Thomas z. Boyd and others unite
in this protest.
J.. G. FULLY, $40 South Thlrty-third street,
protests against his assessment OF $50 for
the building Of the boulevard. He says his
lot at Thirty-third and jackson streets is
low. and hence cannot be beautihed by the

J. J. Mccarthy OF Ponca, who was Tues

republicans OF the Third district; George A.

Harrington. who also ran, were at the Mil
lard. enroute 70 their homes from the con-
vention at Fremont. and other guests at
the hotel who are not acquainted with the
result OF the convention are laying wagers
as to who was the successful candidate.
BY the appearance Of the men no one could
tell, for 8 jollier trio has not been in these
parts for q long time. Mr.. Brooks ex-
presses the sentiments OF the other candi-
dates when he says:
I'VE are feeling good because we were
defeated by q good man. and we feel bet

As for me, well, this running for ONCE is
too strenuous and I am going home and
devote the rest Of my life to ioking after
Mrs. Brooks and the little Brooklets. 1

While the convention was a close one,

record-breaker for good feeling"
The three candidates left yesterday aft

candidates for the good grace they are

WILL COMPARE TAX LISTS
County Board TO Make Comparison of
City with County ssess
menta.

For the use Of the County Board Of Equal
izstion a man is preparing q comparative
showing Of the assessments made against
local concerns by the city tax commissioned
and by the county assessors, the method OF
figuring valuation TO be reduced 10 q COM
mon basis. II has already been discovered
that some very wide differences Of opinion
exist, in one instance a store assessed at a
valuation OF more than SAC, 900 by the city
having been assessed at q valuation OF
81, 900 by the ~county's minion.
The object OF having the two sets OF hg-
ures convenient Is, OF course, TO assist the
commissioners IN more readily determining
eQuRlities when they sit TO take up COM
plants next Thursday.
AS yet the complaints are not numerous.
but q number OF firms have agents at work
on the tax books taking on the valuations.
presumably with the object of protesting
when the board gets into action. The COM
missioners themselves complain that the
assessors have handled them none too gen.
erously, one having his residence assessed
at nearly $500 more than he paid for It,
while another must pay tax on horses worth
$3.50 each, but which are almost exactly
like his neighboT's, given in at SIS each.
The board expects 10 finish by June 30,
but is not certain Of its ability to do 30.
The books are still in the hands OF the tax
department clerks, who are footing them
and checking them, preparatory to giving
out the totals.

Yesterday noon H. p. Robertson, receiver,
sold the stock OF the Continental Clothing
company and the fixtures contained in the
building at Fifteenth and Douglas streets,
but It is not known who bought the stock,
as the bids were divided and will have TO
be approved by the United States district
court before the name OF the purchaser
can be determined.
There was not very lively bidding when
the sale was opened at 10 O'Clock and an
adjournment was taken for one hour, with
q bid by the Jones Dry Goods company OF
Kansas City OF s11 900 for the stock under
consideration. Upon reassembling this bid
was raised by the amounts OF $40 TO 81, 0s5,
approval OF the court. Bids were then re-
ceived on the fixtures alone. the high bid
being that Of o. z. Berg, S1,s25. Bids were
then asked on stock and fixtures together
ana the highest bid received was that Of
L. l. Bassett OF Sheldon, Ia, who offered
Sls.l5O. SIS less thar the two offers previ-
ously received.
H. T. Gumpert OF Fremont offered SIS, 200
for the stock and fixtures. with q provision
that the bid should not be considered un-
less he could secure a lease on the building.
No one could assure him that the lease
could be obtained. In fact. another bidder
said that he had already secured a lease.
The proceedings were suspended for a time
to see II the ownership OF the lease could
not be determined 70 the satisfaction OF all
concerned. but this was not settled when
the sale was concluded.

JOHN LkRS0N'S LONG DROP
Former Chicago Alderman Now an
Insane Pauper in Douglas
County Hospital.

The old sequence Of political ambitions
and ultimate financial and social disaster
was uneArthed in a howell at ZIG North
Ninth yesterday morning. John Larson,
formerly a man Of wealth Of Chicago and
an alderman there for many years, was
taken, hghttng, growing, swapping, from a
den in the cellar Of the place, and after
being forced, struggling frRntically, into an
ambulance, was carried 10 the county hos
pital. His wife. clothed in rags, sank TO
the ground and wept silently, comforted by
kindly negro women. her ~neighbors.
Now demented. afflicted with rheumatism
and on the verge between poverty and
starvation, this man was once q power In
his neighborhood and a strong factor locally
in his party. A score Of years ago he
owned property on HAlsted street, Chicago,
valued at mAny hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars. Hia standing, influence and
wealth made easy his election as alder
man. From that time his fate was fixed.
Larson was ~gulible. also ambitious. and he
became a victim OF unscrupulous colleagues
not go well supplied with this worlds goods.
They begged his financial aid TO keep them In
the council, in turn promising to make
him mayor. This became routine. Larson
being expected to elect not only himself.
but several others every time. So he grew
penniless while waiting his reward. and
then he was shelved.
The denouement of his plans was too
much for the alderman TO bear and he
weakened mentally. being inoapAcitated for
work from that time. Gradually his condi-
ton and position lowered. Supported by
friends for a while. he sank finally out Of
sight, lost amid the newer interests Of q
great city, and four years ago he came to
Omaha with his wife. where they began the
life Of YeritEble outcasts. The man now
IS years Of age, has haunted the railroad
tracks by night with other cleaners. pick
ing up stray coal and wood. The wife,
younger and stiil fairly strong. has done
what washing she could inveigle into such
q squAlid home.

violent and has attacked his wife time and

Company.

Tuesday the Howe Shoe company was do
ing business at the old stand on Douglas
near Sixteenth. Yesterday the building was
closed and the company's stock of goods
was in Kansas City. having been packed
and shipped during the night.
City Treasurer Hennings has been watch
ing this concern for some time. as 1t had
given many evidences OF instability. A
year ago he had to collect its taxes on a
distress warrant. Several times since
then it has changed names. and at the time
Of its departure was known as the Rochester
Shoe company.
This morning about 9 o'clock as ! was

the window display was missing. ! made
inquiries Of persons in adjoining stores and
learned that the shoe company had begun
packing it's goods about Z o'clock last night
and that wagons had been busy hauling the
stock 10 the railroad yards until early this
morning. By calling UP the various rail-
road companies ! learned that the stun had

Questions.

School census enumerators are exper9enc-
ing a new kind of trouble, and this time the
difficulty is encountered in the wealthy and
fashionable districts. Three enumerators
have complained that families employing
servants insist that the servants shall an
swer the questions, which is contrary 10
law. One report Is as follows:
II told the servant who came to the
door in response 20 my ring that ] was a
census enumerator. engaged in compiling
the school census for the district Of Omaha,
and that ] wanted to speak with the woman
Of the house. She Withdrew into an inner
room, TO return q moment later.
Mrs. Blank says ] can answer your
questions she said.
Il sent her back again with a statement
that the law would not permit such an
arrangement. She returned the second
time TO say that Mrs. Blank was engaged
and that ! might call the next day. I
called the next day. but this time Mrs.
Blank was not in The third time ! called

less / was willing to take the statement
Of the servant none would be forthcomtnR

The matter will be brought TO ths at
tention OF the Board of Education st IN
next meeting.
D. T. Kroh, 2115 Emmet street, who re-
pulsed the enumeration a week ago, has
reconsidered his determination and given
the necessary information. He explained
TO Secretary Burgess that he was willing
70 turn over the family bible TO the
enumerRtor II he wanted II, but that he
ala not want to be sworn, as he thought
his unsupported word was good enough.

probable that the efforts Of the hustling

the large end Of a $500 0 estate.
Such is the story that the old mans son
Edwin has brought 70 ofhciEl ears in
Omaha. II is a story OF a man and his
bousekeeper. Mrs. RenBrd died three years
ago and was succeeded as housekeeper by
q daughter, who was taken sick two months
age and removed from the house. Then
Nellie came. Nellie is no common hired
girl, she uses cologne water, does her hair
up three different ways and has more shirt
waists than the dry goods clerk. 1 least
that's the impression that has spread
abroad. for II Is said that the venerable
RenRrd lost his heart in thirty days, and
has esEsyed TO resume lis youthfulness.
And all FOR Nellie
Relatives Take a HIND.
But the family. 'tis said. doesn't like
Nellie so well. Her cologne and her shirt
waists make no such hit with them. They
can see Interior motives cropping through
on her like prickly heat on an infant, and
they would fain put a check on her before
abe gets a hand into the old mans strong
box. To do this, application was made
in Knox county for the appointment Of a
guardian for him, but such process requires
fifteen days notice, and the old gentleman
learned this early and started for the
license bureau. Relatives beat him TO the
court house and got out papers enjoining
the clerk from issuing the license until
after the expiration Of the time required
IN the guardianship matter.

But the aged Renard Is sly as his name.
That night he treked out Of Oakland and
into Tekamah, where he nearly secured the
license before his son overlook him. Then
he made another moonlight trip TO West
Point and again all but succeeded. Finally
he has come, his son says, to Omaha, and
the two played hi~de-and-seek all Tuesday,
the sire leading a chase as zig-zagged as a
Chinese alley. The Junior MIR. Renard has
