Expecting an Oner.

No definite overtures were made by Cum
ningham to the supervisors yesterday for
the settlement of the matter, but 1t is
understood that he will today submit a
proposition to the board. He WILL as a
matter Of course, accept the $4,000 due him
without dispute under the supreme court
decision. His proposition as to the balance
will be that the matter be submitted to
the court on an agreed statement Of facts.
The total amount paid In as the result
of Cunningham's efforts was szS.l67.sO, in
cluding taxes for the year 1895 to 1900 in
elusive OF this amount $9,l76.96 was of
taxes for 1899 and S5s6e.24 of taxes Of 1900.
The balance, or ss1244o was taxes for the
years 1896, 1897 and 1898, and under the
courts holding that Cunningham's con-
tract is valid there is no further dispute
as to his being entitled to one-half Of this
sum. or $.062.20. His commission Of 50
per cent on the taxes collected for 1899 and
1900 is. however. denied on the ground that
these collections were not made under the
contract, as the agreement specifically re-
ferred to taxes due at the time it was
entered into.

CUNNINGHAM AFTER MONEY
Tax Ferret aud County Unable to Agree on
the Amount Due.
DIFFERENCE OVER SEVEN THOUSAND
Claimant Has Made No Proposition for
Settlement, but Board Antici-
pates one at the Next
Meeting.

F. NJ. Cunningham, the tax ferret who
has had claim pending against Potta-
wattamie county for the last year and a
half for about $4,000, as his share OF the
taxes paid into the county treasury as the
result OF his work under a contract made
with the Board of Supervisors, Is In the
city. He is accompanied by E. E. Sluss Of
Indianapolis, his attorney, and they, to-
gether with Frank shinn of Carson, who
was plaintiff in an action brought in the
courts to declare the contract with Cum
ningham Illegal, conferred yesterday with
the members of the Board OF Supervisors
and County Treasurer Arnd with view
to reaching some settlement of the matter.
The supreme court in recent decision
in the case brought by Shinn, upheld the
contract with Cunningham. Under this
contract Cunningham was to get 50 per
cent of the taxes collected as the result
of his efforts The contract was entered
into late in the year 1899 and referred to
taxes then due. In view of the decision
of the supreme court, declaring the con-
tract legal, 1t is no longer disputed that
| Cunningham is entitled to half Of the taxes
he brought In for the years prior to lSsS
| or something over $1,000. There now arises,
however. a dispute as to the meaning and
! SCOPE of the contract. According to Cum
ninghams contention, he is entitled to so
per cent of the taxes collected for 1899 and
subsequent years, which would give him
about 5000 The county authorities, how
| ever, dispute this claim and contend that
these collections are not covered by the
| contract.
Mr.. cunningham is now located at sullI-
van, Ind where he is the editor and pub
Usher OF the Sullivan Times. c. w. Well
! aeaOriatad with Mr. Cum
ningham in some of the tax ferret work
done in this state. is now engaged in sim
! liar work at Muncie, Ind, where he has

| now allows the ferret a third Of such coll
| lections.

ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH.


A careful census of the church at
tendance in the borough OF Manhattan
in New iork City has just been TAX
en-. II shows, among other things.
that men form POI per cent OF the at
tendance.
A little over year ago the Record
Herald took similar census in Chica-
go. The showing in the latter city
was that the men formed 80 per cent
of the congregations. The percentage
of women was AZ and of children 22.
Evidently Chicago men are much bet
ter churchgoers than New York men.
1t would be interesting to make fur
ther comparisons between the two cen
suses, but this cannot be satisfactor-
lily done without full details of the
New York figures.
However, as regards the total
church attendance Chicago is probably
up to the New York standard. In
New York 451 Protestant and Catholic
churches were found. The total at
tendance was 427 1875, out of estimated
population of 2.007,350.
In Chicago the count included only
235 out OF the total of 666 churches,
though all Of the larger churches, botn
Catholic and Protestant, were on the
list. The total attendance was 257,-
