FLEMING REPLIES TO FINK
Tax Commissioner Defends His Course
in Matter of selling scavenEer
Tax Certificates.

Tax Commissioner Fleming replies to
County Treasurer Fink's statement OF
Flemings action in selling the tax certih-
Gates bid in by the city in the scavenger
law sales. He says;
Il was surprised TO read Mr.. Finks crtti-
cism, Several months ago l talked the
whole matter over with him and he agreed
with my plans for handling the tax certif-
Gates. The city is far more largely inter-
ested than the county in these sales and
by reason OF this fact ought TO have the
right to have a thing or two to say about
IT, Far be 1t from me as tax commissioner
TO usurp the powers OF the county treas
urer. In disposing OF the certificates they

OFFICIALS MIX THEIR DATES
quite Crowd Assemblies Mt Court
House to Henr RcdIck on
Commissioner CnEe.

County Attorney Slabaugh and two of his
handsome assistants, with City Attorney
Breen and his able coadjutoT, VIII Herd
man. were early arrivals at the county
court house Tuesday morning. The oc-
casion of their coming was an anticipation
that Judge Redick was to deliver his opin-
ion on the county commissioner question.
They were Informed by friend that If
they had read the columns of The Bee they
would have known that Judge Redick had
set Wednesday morning for the giving of
judgment on Solomon, Ure and Hunter,
with Charles A. Tracy as a runner-up.
1t is expected the court will go into de-
tails on the legal proposition, but it is APP
pretended that If the decision is favorable
to the claims of the men who have ten
dered their money as candidates It will be
up to the Board of County Commissioners
to at once meet and define the commits
sloner districts, since the city council has
cut up the old wards and changed the

O'Brien willing 90 Quit.
O'Brien made an impassioned speech
about the good the Ak-sar-B Ben organiza-
ton has done the city, but the resolution
was referred to the street lighting COM
mittee. The majority that had fought
OBrien on the gas deal then consigned a
second resolution authorizing electrical
decoration of the city hall at cost not
to exceed 500 to the same place. This was
followed by a second resolution from
O'Brien to authorize the city electrician to
remit inspection and permit fees on special
Ak-Sar-Ben decoration of buildings and
windows Opposition to this from Evans
angered O'Brien and his voice trembled
as he declared that If his presence in the
council was going to stand in the way of
public improvement and public spirit he
would resign. This stiled his tormentors
and the second resolution was adopted.
Fairfield on Prices.
General Manager Fairfield, of the Omaha
Water company, sent in letter caustically
scoring City Attorney Breen for reported
utteranCes regarding the inserviceabillty of
fire hydrants and declaring that all the hy-
drants at all times are ready for the use
of the fire department and have always
been 50. At the request of Councilman
Evans the city attorney replied, saying that
he did not mean there were dry hydrants
but meant that the water pressure at the
hydrants was not what the contract calls
for and has not been up to the standard
required. This he said he was prepared to
prove in court and had started proceedings
along this line to resist the fun collection
of the S46,n7 hydrant rental bill for the
last half of 1904
An ordinance was introduced which seeks
to punish by dismissal any city employe
who assigns his wages.

ALL CROPS IN FINE ORDER
Such Is Showing Made by Report of
Burlington Along Its Route
in Nebraska.

The Burlington crop report for the last
week shows thet a general rain fell on the
22d inst. besides numerous showers on sew
eral other days. Reports do not show that
the vegetation is suffering anywhere for
moisture, nor that the ground is too dry to
plow. There is still very little wheat that
remains to be threshed except that which
has been stacked and which can be threshod
at convenience during the winter. Oats are
about all put away and the crop is as large
as was previously reported.
Continued high temperature, with ample
moisture, has advanced the corn very rap
idly during the last week. Conditions could
not be more favorable for corn. A high
temperature is not unusual in Nebraska at
this season OF the year but very high
temperature without high winds is unusual.
The extremely favorable weather of the
last six weeks seems to have more than
made up for the late spring and unless con-
ditions are phenomenal between now and
the complete maturing period indications
are that no larger crop has ever been raised
in the southern part OF the state,
The crop of potatoes in Nebraska is large
and the quality good.
Owing to the abundant rain the pastures
are yielding more grass than is usual at
this season Of the year. Only within me
last few days has there been any appear
ance of maturity in the corn fields and the
pastures are just beginning to turn brown
in spots.
The work of fall plowing was not checked
during the period covered by this report at
any place for want of moisture and is
progressing satisfactorily. The indications
now are that very large crop of winter
grain will be put into the ground. If the
weather continues favorable the sowing OF
winter wheat will begin very soon.

ROBBERS USE VICTIMS RIG
HoId-Up Men Take JeweIry and Then
Drive Away in other Fell
lows Buggy.

While out driving Monday evening on the
boulevard near the Krug brewery, Miss
May Noble and Jesse Clark were accosted
by three bad and bold men, who wore white
handkerchiefs over their faces and carried
revolvers in their hands. The men asked
the couple to stop, at the same time show
ing three nice, shiny revolvers Clark says
he never saw as many revolvers at one
time in his life and really did not believe
before there were so many in the whole
world.
The robbers took a sapphire and a dia-
mond ring from Miss Noble, but in some
manner overlooked a bet by not getting
Clark's watch. The holdup men drove in
Clark's buggy as far as Hanscom park,
where the vehicle was found tied.
Miss Noble and Clark live at South

Like a wounded bird trying to flutter back

weeks ago, Mrs. l.. ID. Parmenter OF 2O2
North Nineteenth street begged piteously
in police court Tuesday morning for the
release of the husband she admitted she
had wronged time and again and who last
Friday evening threw a bottle Of carbolic
acid in the woman's face and disfgured
her pretty countenance for life.
Intense to a degree was the scene In the
court room when the husband and wife
met face to face for the first time since
the tragic event of last week on the Tenth
street viaduct. In anticipation of the trial
OF Parmenter the police court was crowded
The silence that prevailed was oppressive
when the prisoner was brought in and
looked for the first time on the bandaged
face of his wife.
The only visible portion OF the woman's
face was her right eye, with which she
contemplated her husband sitting at a table,
his head buried in his hands.

of 1906 South Thirteenth street, with whom
the injured woman has been stopping since

A delegation of the brotherhood of Rail-
road Firemen, of which Parmenter is a
member, was at court and sometime Tues
day afternoon bonds will have been ar
ranged for to release Parmenter for his
appearance in the district court this fall
After the trial of Parmenter in police
court the wife asked to have a private
conversation with her husband. which was
granted. During the conversation it was
learned that the wife said she would go to
Jail with her husband If necessary. At the
conclusion of the talk the wife wiped away
q tear from her husbands face Then she
asked to speak with Acting Police Judge
Foster. But the judge explained he. could
not dismiss the case against Parmenter on
his own violition.
"I will love her until l die. My life has
been ruined and sometimes do not care
what becomes Of me now. really intended
to kill myself with the acid / threw in
my wife's face" said Parmenter Tuesday
morning.
The story of the Parmenters in short, is
that the couple married in South Dakota
a year ago last March. Tie husband was
hreman at Dickinson, $. D., most of the
time before moving to Omaha He saved
his money and succeeded in buying a home
In Omaha, Whlch nome ne since lost. Last
September, he says, he was summoned 10
come to Omaha to attend his wife, who
was sick. At that time he came here to
find his wife in bad company. a few weeks
ago the couple separated, to meet on the
Tenth street viaduct on the afternoon Of
the throwing of the acid. The husband
then pleaded with his wife to return to
him. She refused and he threw the acid.
Now she says she will follow him to the
end OF the world.
I'VE have both wronged each other"
says the wife; Il have lived in hell for a
year." says the husband.

WIN Not Prosecute Him.

Mrs. Parmenter was then removed to an
open window for air. She rallied and man
aged to talk to Deputy County Attorney
Fitch, who held the complaint against Par
menter.
Il Will not prosecute him. l have not
got the heart to do it. For his mother s
sake, II for nothing else l will not appear
against him." said the wife to the prose-
cutting attorney.
Notwithstanding Mrs. Parmenters decls-
ion, Deputy County Attorney Fitch decided
to carry the case through against Par
menter on the evidence of several wit
nesses who saw the throwing of the acid
officer Lahey, who made the arrest, and
w. Sutley, j. r. Davis and Morris Wun-
berg, witnesses, took the stand and in a
few minutes Parmenter was bound over to
the district court on a bond of $500. Par
menter did not wish to take the stand on
his own behalf He seemed to take in the
proceedings in listless sort of manner.
In explanation of his action in the prem
ises Attorney Fitch said he performed
what he believed to be a duty to society
in prosecuting Parmenter, leaving aside all
sentimentality or whatever provocations
