Jonnie Smitih Tells an Interesting Story of a Denver Eplsode. An interesting document was filed in the district court yesterday by the attorneys for the plaintiff in the suit of Mrs. Jennie Smith against the Citizens State bank of this cit It was in the shape of a motion for & continuance, and the ground for the postponement of the taial was that J. J. Smith and W, Neil Dennison, both Denver gentlenicen, were in possession of valuable evidence which it had’ been im- possible for Mrs. Smith's attor: 10 got hold of until last week. Judging from the statements made in the annexed aMdayits, Mrs. Smith must have had o highly exhilur ating time while stopping in Denver, The plaintiff beran suit againsy the vank as the result of a_disappearance of a certifi- cate of deposit for $1,500.

CITY COUNCIL PROUEEDINGS, 13 by the City At- or Muttors. In the absence of Mayor Walker President Wood was in the chair at the meeting of the city council last night. City Attoruey Van Dusen handed down two opiuions, one of which the council, Taxpayers league and citizens in general have been looking for- ward to for several weeks. It was in regard to the fees for collecting delinquent taxes. The matter was first brought up in the Taxpayers league and & committee was ap- pointed to have the council request n opinion from the city attorney. Mr. Van Dus°n read his ovinion, which was very lengthy anfl’ very explicit. In substance it was that the salary of the city treasurer should be $00 a yea was nov entitled to a/penny more, nel was he allowed to hold out any fees for col- lecting delinquent taxes. The cily council, he said, under the law, had the power to pass an ordinance authorizing the treasurer to appoint a delinquent tax collector, or more than one if necessary for thorough and speedy collection.. The delinguent tax col- lector was allowed fees as follows: On all sums under 3,000, 10,.0r cent; over §3,000 and under $5,000, 4 per cent; over £,000, 2 per cent. 1f the treasurer had held any fees or himsclf for collecting delinquent taxes the same should be returned to the city. At the time the orainunce was passed by the council authorizing the treasurer to appoint a delinquent tax coliector the clerk neglected to call the roll on the vote, simply stating he ordinance is passed.” ere was uo record to show thata quorum was present when the ordinance was passed, but the at- torney was of the opinion that the ordinance would hold good; in fact that if the treus- urer did not have a_delinquent tax collector all of the time, or it least at such times as fees were collected on taxes, he would have to refund the same. The opinion will not affect the treasurer, as he claims to have had one or more d quent tax collectors on his staff ever siuce he has held the oftice. Road Tax Question, The second opinion was given in response to a request by the council for the attorney to at once proceed through the courts to col- leet the portion of the road fund due South Omaha from Douglas county. Mr. Van Dusen read the law pertaining to the matter, The commissioners have already paid over to the city one-half of tho amount. = The old law roads: *The city treasurer shail de mand from the county treasurer all moneys but an ndment made by the lezislature provides that all moneys paid into the roud fund shall “be subject to the isposal of the county cowimissioners for the general benefit of the county and city, one- halt of which shall go to the county for road purposes und onc-hiall to the council of said aity to be used for road purposes.” Ti much as the two sections conflict, and as it is the custom that the luw passed last control, he was of the opinion that the balauce of the road fund could not be coltected through the courts. Both opimions were received and placed on file. Quarreled Ove Councilmaa I3ulla moved “donation” fund be given to Charities, and received u second from Mr. Mullaly, Mr. Wyman objected, on the grouud that the council had no legdl right to give this money away to a “private enter- pvrise.” He said the Associnted Charitie: was a private onterprise, and the council had o more right to give it money than to the King's Daughters. The city nceded the money to pay for the five alarm box I the mayor chose to stop the payment of this funa to the city tr month and give it to the Associated Chavities it would bo all right, but after it was paid to the city it should not be given away. Mr. Bulla said he did not care how the ap. propriation was made, just 80 iv reached the needy. e did notcare todo auything i the dark, Every ono know the méney was paid in and he was in fuvor of paying the woney out over and above board. City At- torney Van Dusen was'of the opinion thut after the money had been deposited with the city it could not be gven out 1n the man ner suzgested by My, Bulla, Mr. Bruce was in favor of making the donation 1f 1t could be done legally. Hard times, he said, hud caused the organizition of the Associuted Charities, He thought he knew what had brought on the bard vimes, but being a_ republican te would mnot malke the democrats present feel bad by tell- ing. Mr. Hoctor described some pitiful scenes of poverty he hiad recently seen, and hoped that the council would instract’ him, as he would not pay over the money without anorder from that body. Mr. Wyman amended the motion so as to require the council to gssume o 8100 grocery bili the Associated Charities owes, and it prevailed. The “donation’ fund veferred to is the money paid the city by the gimblers Police Judgo Fowlers report for December shows that sixty-eight cases were tried, und the totalamount of tines collected was §203, Bills amounting to $200 were allowed “The polico commizice reported, reprimand g Oicer Argabright for leaving bis beat without permission.

Ashes in the stove were hauled over and a quantity of chicken bones found, Old man Kessler insisted that the bones were Tabbit bones, but he will have a hard tma proving it. A barrel of sanerkraut was standing in the little kitchen and was investizated by Tom Hayes. Near the bottom of the barrel half of @ hog and some chickens were found. The hog had been skinned and cut up. The old man said that it was the custom in the old country to keen meat and poultry that way. From an old chest the policeman fished out about 100 flour sacks. These had been ripped np and washed so thoroughly that the brand was completely oblicerated, uch a quantity of bed linen, towels ete., was found_that it is inferred that the oceu: pants of the place had been in the habit of stripping a clothes line whenover they had a chance. There was enough bed linen packed away to start a small sized hotel. In tne corn the room was a whole barrel of flour. This was emptied, but nothing had been concealed in that barrel.

During the search Hamiiton appeared very nervous and twice attempted to loave the premises, but each time a policeman sug- gested thut he remain, The officers on watch say that during the night there wasa good deal of poundin going on in the IKessler houscand it was thought that some stolen property might have been concealed in the walls or under the floor. Hayes and Hudson tried the walls and the floor,but could not find anything.

More physicians in high standing are using, preseribing and recommending Paine’s celery compound than any oth- er prepared remedy in the world. More space is devoted in many a med- ical journal to the wonderful cures Paine’s celery compound effects than to any other one subject. Paine’s celery compound is pre-emi nently the remedy that makes peoplo well, W. Allen Hubbard, M. D., 70 West Cedar street, is one of Boston’s best phy- sicians. He says what huadreds of oth- er physicians have before, and his experience adds one more to the hun- dreds already published. that Paine’s celery compound is undoubtediy the highest product of the medical knowl- edgo of this century. “The formula of Paine’s celery com- pound,” he says, “interested mo becauso of its scientific value, and 1 preseribed the remedy in a number of cases where the blood was impoverished and the nerves weakened. The results were so satisfactory that I do not hesitate to en- dorse Paine’s celory compound us a mosu valuable remedy.”’ J. H. Hannaford, M.

In many muscums may be seen, in the most perfect state of preservation in amber, fossilized remains of plants and s, says the Gentleman's Magazine The seieneé of Egyptin its highest de- velopment did not succeed in discover ing a method of embalming so per- fect as the simplo process tak- ing place in nature. A tree exudes a gummy, resinous matter in a liquid state. An inscet accidentally lights in it and is caught. The exudation con- tinues and envelopes it completely, pre- serving the most minute details of its structure. In the course of time the resin becomes a fossil and is known as amber. The history of fossil insects is largely indebted to” the fly in amber. And to the preserving propertios of ambor we owe, likewise, our knowledge of some of the more minute details of ancient plant structure. The coasts of the Baltic are, and have been from the days of the Pheenician traders, tho great source of the amber of commerce. It oceurs in rolled frag- ments in strata nown to geologists as oligocene. These ave tertiavy rocks of a dute a little more recent than those of the London basin and equivalent to the your tertiary series of the Isle of Wight. The fragments of fossil resin were washed down by the rivers from the pine forests of the district along with sediments and vegetablo debris. 1n them are found most perfectly preserved vemains of the most delicate tissues of the vegetation of the period as well as of inseev life. Fragments of twigs, leaves, buds and flowers, with sepals, petals, stamens and pistil still in place, oceur. Pollen grains have likewise been found.
