accepting the hous amendments. When
the senate convened today, he moved
about among his colleagues locking for

END OF AN ARMY ROMANCE.
Major Grebe Who Was Discharged for
Fighting Duel Drops His Case.

Washington, March 2.-Major Will
liam Grebe of Bonner Springs, Kan,
has asked Senator Long to have the
papers in his case Withdrawn from the
senate committee on military affairs SO
that there may be no further consid-
Grafton of the case at this time. Major
Grebe is a highly educated German
soldier of fortune, who entered the
Union army in the beginning of the
war in Missouri. He made a good
record, but was court martialed be-
cause of a duel with another officer
over a woman. Major Cfrebe's con-
tention is that he was justified in his
encounter with the officer, because
the woman's character had been called
into question. Major Grebe asked that
his record be corrected and that the
rank of colonel be given him. Senator
Long introduced a bill and Senator
Warner used his influence to secure a
favorable report on it by the commit
tee on military affairs. The commit
tee has refused to take action, how

of the Union Pacific today cancelled
the contract for, the erection of the IL
story headquarters building which f.
H Hartman was to erect in Omaha
at a cost of $1,2oos00. He did so, he
said. under orders from Hartman, be-
cause of recent action OF courts and
legislatures The contract for the
wrecking of buildings on the sit had
been let and work begun. Actual
work OF construction on the new
building was to start as soon as the
preliminary work was finished. In
faISink this action Mr. Mohler referred
to the recent decision of the United
states supreme court which upheld
the decision of the Nebraska courts
that the Union Pacific and Burlington
should pay the million dollars of taxes
they protest to the state of Nebraska
legislature in Just passing the two
cent bill These with the recent adj
vance in salaries his company has
made, make it imperative to retrench

NOT READY TO QUIT.
House Again Refuses to Fix Date of
Adjournment.

The Morgan adjournment resolu-
ton which was tabled just a week ago
today was called up this morning and
another attempt made to set the date
of adjournment of the house of repre-
sentatives.
The resolution fixed Thursday as
the last day on which house bills were
to receive consideration excepting bills
carrying appropriations and all other
business to cease except the receiving
of reports from conference commit
tees and messages from the governor.
The consideration of the resolution
was again postponed today and will be
taken up Monday afternoon at
o'clock when it is probable that ac-
ton will be taken and that the date
of adjournment will be set, probably
Saturday night, or possibly the even
ing previous.

AND TIME IS NOT UP YET
Assessors Began Yesterday to Double
the Lists Of Those Who Have
Failed to Swear Out Inven-

The city assessors have begun 10
double the lists as they warned they
would do in case the Inventories Of take
payers were not turned within a speci.
fed period Yesterday the lists Of GA
taxpayers were doubled and today they
are at the same work These people
who are being doubled have been given
warning Of what they might expect in
case they failed to give in their lists.
Most Of them are only poll taxpayers,
although there is occasionally person
with small list besides.
Already the total number of lists re-
ceived by the assessors is over 1000
which il far in excess of the entire 1906
t0taI. When the last corrections Of the
latter year were made on September 15,
as allowed by law, there were 3,s75
taxpayers on the books of the assess
ors Thus it Will be seen that there
are at the present time more than l25
additional names on the books, and still
more opportunity to add to the total.
This great gain is due to two causes,
ff) the increase in the number Of tax
able people in town aud (2) to the
extra care taken to get in oil The lists

So They Give Verdict Of s5,sss.3s to
John W. Eagan for Washing Away
of His saw Mill in Mid

aciving the verdict Judge Miles declared
Ia recess of court until Monday after
noon at two o'clock.
The case Is quite remarkable one
Eagan's mill Il located just north Of
the Central Vermont railroad track in
MiddleseN, and during high water his
buildings were carried away, leaving
noGning but his residence which was lo-
Gated on a little higher ground. The
stream which caused the damage flows
through cuivert under the Central
track, and it wal the contention Of the
plaintiff that the building of the rail-
road embankment damned up the
stream and the culyert constructed was
no. large enough to carry off the water.
Hence he sued for His min property
swept away by the raging food
The railroad, for its defense. held
that the food, or the cloud burst, was
an act Of Providence and that the COM
pany il not responsible for the high

under the track was Of sufficient size
to take care Of the water from ordinary
storms The trial was stretched out

The lengti. OF this trial has eongested
