DOG PLEADS HIS OWN CASE
Canine and His Boy Master Touch
Heart of the Police
Judge.

The unusual spectacle of dog pleading
for his life was enacted before Police Judge
Berka Friday morning. Whether or not
the canine realized his life was in jeopardy
has not been determined, but the sight or
the dog perched up on the city prosecutor S
chair, directing doleful whine toward the
magistrate, and the owner of the dog, boy
of 9 years. eagerly holding a piece of rope
and watching the judges face, moved the
heart of Police Judge Berka to the point
of allowing the dog respite, Phillip Gavin,
like the boy in the play, took the dog in
his arms and released tear drop that
trickled down his smiling face. He cried
for joy.
The scene occurred when p. Gavin, the
boys father, was arraigned in police court
on charge of keeping vicious dog. c. E.
Showers was complainant in the case.
Penny, my dog here, can do lots of tricks
and he never bites. Even our chickens eat
out of his mouth" began the boy, when he
addressed the Judge. and then paused in his
child-like manner to see what effect his
words would have on the judge, The judges
face softened and he leaned his head over
the rail to get within closer range of the
! child who was acting as counsel for his
| dog.
Penny was a tramp dog when he came
to our house, but I took him in and he has
| stayed with us three years. We have yell
| low cat we call Sandy" and you should
see Penny and Sandy play together" con
| tinued the boy.
| The judge harked back to the days wher
he was a boy and loved dog, and the ole
| days came back to him with a bump,
Then the boy and the dog left the court
room, again to enjoy life in that little
world in which there are only boy and 9

CLOCK TO REGISTER FUNDS
UNIQUE Method Employed by Y. M.
C. A. to Indicate Amount of
Money Contributed.

A giant wooden clock, twenty-five feet
in circumference is being made at the
Young Mems Christian association rooms
to mark the thousands of the building
fund as they are subscribed The dial
will be divided into twelve hours, but
of the smaller divisions, corresponding
to the minutes, there will be only 100 on
the whole circumference. Each minute Is
to represent $1,000. The clock is to be
placed Monday in front of the subscription
headquarters at Fifteenth and Farnam and
the big hand probably will point then to
about the forty-fifth minute.
A canvas sign, three feet wide, calling at
tention to the location of the headquar-
ters, was stretched across Farnam street
at Fifteenth.
1--WE are feeling very much encouraged
over the prospects," said Secretary Wade.
THE sum of $4,000 already has been sub
scribed and large institutions and wealthy
men have received the proposition favor
ably and are considering the question of
large subscriptions. The big citizens COM

Receipts Break Record.
Fridays hog receipts were larger than
expected the total being 1881 head, the
total receipts for the month being 3Ol ,2S9
head. For the month of June the receipts
exceed by 10000 the largest run for any
one month in the history of the yards. A
live stock dealer said last evening that be-
sides being a record month better hogs
We're never seen at this or any other mar
ket. While prices fuctuated considerably
the month was one Of decided activity in
the hog yards.
Births and Deaths.
The birth and death returns for June
were lower than usual Twenty-four births
were reported during the month"; fourteen
being males and ten females. Deaths num-
bered eighteen, seven females and eleven
males In June, 1904, there were forty-four
births reported and twenty deaths. June,
1903, records show forty-slx births and
twenty-five deaths. The low death rate, so
physicians say, surely speaks well of the
sanitary condition of South Omaha.

UNION PACIFIC BALAS ON TAX
Offers Less Than Thousand Dollars for Six
Tines as Much.
CITY TREASURER DOES NOT ACCEPT IT
Omaha Road Only One that Pays
Full Amount of Taxes, and
IT Does So Under
Protest.

The Union Pacific has refused to pay the
current city taxes levied upon its mileage
and terminals in Omaha, Offering $s4SA in
payment of Sc, 929, 90 on the books against it.
City Treasurer Hennings promptly refused
to- take the lesser amount and representa-
tiVes of the company paid over the required
taxes assessed on real estate and personal
property.
The city assessment on mileage and
terminals was obtained by multiplying the
figures per mile given by the State Board
of Assessment by Ave. The proportion
offered by the Union Pacific. however, is
even less than one-ffth. showing that the
assessment of the state board was rejected,
consistently with the suits In the federal
court seeking to restrain its application and
enforcement.
The only other railroad that had paid up

Flood on Last Day.
The last day for the payment of current
taxes opened in the treasurer,s Office with
a whoop, a big pile of checks and a long
line of people waiting for the opening Of
the doors. If $250,OOO is taken over the
counter during the day and evening 10 per
cent of the current taxes will be collected
and last years record equaled. Friday
$1OSOOO was paid over. AS the assessments
are 20 per cent less this year than last.
however, the volume OF money will not be
nearly so great.
The big corporations and heavy taxpayers
of all descriptions held off until the last
moment, but nearly all have had receipts
prepared and cashed in at some time during
the day.
The treasurer's Office will be open tonight
as late as taxpayers keep coming.
For the last several days the force has
worked until midnight and returned to duty
at and o'clock the next morning.
| The Union Pacific claims that In making
| the levy the taxing board of the city OF
| Omaha unlawfully and wrongfully refused
! to accept the return of the State Board OF
Assessment of $4,000 per mile. but 'illeg-
| ally" multiplied the return of the state
board by five, and thereafter levied upon
a full value of $4,000 per mile.
The supplemental bill is filed against the

urer OF Omaha.

sioner Fleming of Omaha is required by
the statutes to extend upon his records
| the assessed value per mile as returned
| by the State Board of Equalization to the
county clerk, and that he did this at the
rate of $4,000 per mile; that thereafter thG
city council, sitting as a board of equaliza
ton, determined the value of the Unior
Pacific property in direct violation of law
at $4,000 instead of $4,000 per mile, ant
that the levy determined upon at the tim,
for Omaha was 1i1a mills.
