Neqiiqence Called MansIaughter.

The case of Stehr VS.. State before
the Supreme Court of Nebraska, in
volved the sentence of a father for
from one to ten years in the penitenti-
airy for criminal negligence, because
during a blizzard in Nebraska. when
the weather was bitter cold, he per
mitted the fire to go out, snow drifted
through a crack in the door and
broken windowpane, and the bedding
OF all the members of the family was
frozen stiff. The feet of one of the
children were frozen, and although
such fact was apparent to the father
no physician was called in for 16 days,
when amputation was found to be nee
essary and the child died of blood pois-
oning. The defendant was convicted
of manslaughter for criminal negli-
gence in failing to provide medical
care after he discovered the frozen
condition OF the child's feet. In af-
| firming the conviction the court held
that for parent having special charge
OF an infant child culpably TO neglect
it so that death ensues as conse
qence is manslaughter, although death
or grievous bodily harm was not in
tended. and if the parent has not the

COLLECTION
OF TAXES IS
VERY GOOD
MANY DELINQUENTS PAYING
Though Many Others Are
Inviting Fl Fas

Collection of taxes by County Tax
Collector Small recently has been
good. Many delinquents have paid
their taxes in the last week or two.
There are still many others, however,
who should pay their taxes, but are de-
laying this duty, and are thereby in
viting the issuance of fl fas.
Tax Collector Small said yesterday
that while the collection of taxes 50
far this year is very good, there are
nevertheless many delinquents who
should pay and who are delaying their
payment of taxes so long that fl fas
must be issued against them if these
taxes are not received soon. Full time
has already been allowed these de-
linquents, and fl fas and the usual pro.
cesses of the law in such cases will
be resorted to unless taxes are paid
within a short time.
No voter can cast a ballot in the
forthcoming race for sheriff unless he
has paid his taxes. Consequently it IS
of the greatest Importance that every
one who owes taxes pay them prompt

BEFRIEND negro WHO
IS HEIR TO FORTUNE
Hope he viii Gain Part Of
Money

Messrs. Thomas B. Hooks and W. w.
Dykes returned yesterday from at rip
to Memphis and thence to Chicago,
where they spent a week in the inter
est of a former Americus negro, Ma
pier by name, whose wife is heir to an
estate of several million dollars left
by her father, a negro named Rose,
who died year ago in st. Louis.
Rose was reputed to be the wealthiest
negro in the United States. In his
will one of his daughters, who had
married Napier, was not made bene-
ficiary to any portion of his estate. The
Napiers, in their dilemma, called upon
MIR. Hooks, whose father, the late Will
liam Hooks, owned Napier's father as
a slave on his farm near Americus.
Mr.. Hooks promptly responded to
the call of his colored friend and with
his attorney, Mr.. Dykes, is looking af-
ter the Napier claim to the Rose es-
tate, and with strong hope of ultimate
success.
