IMPROVED COLLECTIONS PRE-
VENT INCREASE IN TAXES

Readers of the Omaha Guide will
agree with W. L. Pierpoint, presi-
dent of the Association of Oma-
he Taxpayers, that improved tax
collections in Omaha during 1899
and future years are preferable to
continue increases in taxation.
Property tax collections in Doug
lass County during 1888 reached
81 per cent of the levy, due large
ly to activities of Omaha's civic tax
campaign, according to the county's
treasurer's office. This is a three
per cent gain over the average
yearly collection of SO per cent of
levy.
Proper action on the part of
public officials and proper diligence
or the part of private citizens will
near improved tax payments dur
ing 1889 and the following years,
M Pierppoit told the Omaha
Guid, This situation would mean
les delinquency and less reason
for any increase intaxation.
collection of SO per cent of
taxes during 1889 and future years
would mean $460,OO0 more for
Omaha's schols, city and county
government without any increase
in tax levy said Mr.. Pierpoint,
"as compared with an SO per cent
average collection"
Omaha's property tax for 1889
totals $9,136,114 an average of Sal
per person in the city. This repre-
sents a levy of $3.50 per thou
sand, highest in several years, Mr..
Pierpoint said and probably re-
presents the maximum amount that
can be levied under present condi-
tions without diminishing returns.
Mr.. Pierpoint declared that 1888
was a year in which tax conscious
ness was translated into tax in
telligenee. For that reason, he said,
taxpayers in the future will give
scrutiny to any proposed increase

DIR. r.. A. Adams, Pastor

The Sunday school opened the
day at st. John with T. H. Good
win in charge. The attendance was
good, but the spirit ran high.
Dr.. Adams preached a fine ser
mon using as his subject Beware
Lest Any Man Spoil Your Phil
osophy." This message was direrted
to the young people. Time would
lot permit DR.. Adams to finish his
message as he had it prepared. but
he will finish it in the near fu-
ture.
The Young Peoples Choir direct
ed by Mrs. Alice Wilson furnished
the music. Mrs. Wilson and her
Young people are to be commend
ed for the fine work they are
Going.
It was noticeable to see how
well the young people conducted
themselves during the service. Mrs
Jackson their ehaperon, Mrs. VIII
son tseir director and Mr.. McVay
their "Big Brother were very
proud of them.
Mr.. McVay said Sunday that
these young people would be ask
ing your aid to help them buy
vested choir robes in the near fu-
ture. He said that he did not think
there would be any M who would
turn these young people down.
Show them that you appreciate
what they are trying to do.
We regret to hear the news that
Sister Harper, sister Of of our
own Sister Louise Strawther is
very i'll, and brother l.. M. Good
lett is a very sick man. We pray
for their comfort and any other
sick member whose names were not
turned in.
The Union services of the Met
hodist churches are getting off to
e fine start. Come and let your
spiritual strength be felt. The next
Union service will be at st. John

Storey of Cleaves Temple, with his
choir on duty. The fourth Sunday
night at Bethel with DR.. Adams

We are glad to see Mrs. Laura

to Kansas City Mo-, with her
daughter during the sickness and
death of her little grandson, Mick.
The pastor and members wish to

and damper and more foggy. Bren-
da tried to convince herself that she
didn't mind, that she was glad to
be back. She had had fun here.
She would have fun again. This
emptiness, this horribly depressed
feeling was merely a matter Of ad-
justment, Of putting certain thoughts
from your mind and facing issues
that couldn't be avoided.
So Brenda was gay and bright and
cheerful. She gave parties and at
tended parties and flirted with dull,
unromantic Englishmen. She filled
all the hours of her days and nights
with escapes and no one guessed at
her true feelings. Her father, who
had been worried, ceased being wor-
ried and concerned himself with the
diplomatic business that kept him
in England.
So when at last the parties began
to bore, and the mere thought of
flirting with dull Englishman made
her shudder, Brenda at last found
herself alone, and face to face with
the thing she sought to evade. She
knew now that she had hoped for a
letter, cable, some message or word
that would change the world to
brightness again. But it didn't come
and at last the raw and merciless
truth came to mock and torment,
unimpeded by barriers of false
laughter and gay parties.
Unfamiliar Streets.
Came an afternoon when the
dampness and fog and bleakness
seemed unbearable and Brenda, with
nothing scheduled on her social cal
endar till evening, found it no longer
possible to cope with the cruelty of
her memories. Hands deep thrust
in the pockets Of her tweed coat, she
walked along unfamiliar streets and
tried to dull her thinking. A figure
came up behind her, passed her,
blocked her path.
"Doughnuts, lady? American
made doughnuts?"
Brendas heart stopped beating,
then began again. humping wildly.
She mustn't faint. How silly that
would be! She must remain calm
and in complete control and not one
bit excited.

childhood. When he Termed her
father was bringing her back from
England for the holidays he planned
a party. The prospect delighted
her. for Derek's parties were such
grand affairs. All their old friends
would be there, and they'd make
her feel that her two years of
virtual exile in London hadn't been
so bad after all.
Home! She remembered so vivid
ly the silhouette of the custom
house tower against the sky and
the new Federal building, and De-
rex and Helen Lyman and Rufe
Burden at the dock.
Derek was the same, except that
he and Helen Lyman were engaged
and were quite happy about it.
Were having party tomorrow
night at the Venetian room. A
sort of home coming affair for you
and an engagement party for us
and an introduction party for JIM
my Kent"
Jimmy Kent? Who's he, dar-
ling? Have I met him?"
Derek shook his head. Il met
him out West. It's his first visit
to Boston. You'll like him"
And that was all the warning
she had. She didn't think about
Jimmy Kent again until they met
at the Venetian room-and she
hadn't stopped thinking about him
since.
Brenda grlpped the rail to steady
herself against the roll of the deck
as the S. S. Sylvania ploughed
steadily back toward Liverpool and
London and another two years Of
exile. Her eyes were misty, and
she knew it wasn't from the salt
spray. Nor was it the mere pros
pect of another two years away
from home that made her heart so
heavy.
Memories Persisted.
Oh, it was all so crazy! She
shook her head. trying to clear it
of memories that she had con-

the memories persisted-vivid pic
lures of Jimmy Kent looking at her
gravely, and saying: "All right,
then, have it your way. There's no
such thing as love at first sight. But
want to go on record as disagree
ing and saying I love YOU, and it's
the real thing"
She laughed up at him. Tell me
more and funnier." And then be-
cause of the hurt look that came into
his eyes she regretted having said
it. "Oh, Jimmy, let's not talk about
it. 1t doesn't make sense. In a
week I'm going back to England for
two more years, and this will be a
forgotten incident. You'll forget
all about me and"

why shouldn't they be, after

You're as unreasonable about dough-
