He was accordingly discharged. - We are asked every few days whether we write fire Insurance. Of course we do, and in the strongest companies in the world.

At yesterday's meeting of the County Board of Supervisors a lot of back taxes were sancel’ed off the bo ks of the county treasurer, These taxes were leved between the years 1885 and 1888, but on account of defective deseriptions of the property involved it has *been impossible to collect or tb sell the prop- erty, inasmuch as no one would buy unless ho knew just what he was buying. The county, however, is charged up with the portion of this tax which thould go to the state, and it will continue to be so charged until the back taxes shall be expunged from the assessment rolls. About 4 per cent of the whole amount of tax, it is said, was lost during sach of the four years referred to through these defective descriptions, owing to the mistakes of the various assessors, silver, The celebrated; Gorham company goods at reduced spoons at §3.50 per set. in the same proportion. ©.

During the last few days a tremendous amount of work has been done quietly for the purpose of in- ducing some democratic aldermen to recede from the position which the democrats took solidly at the last meeting, and vote to sus- tain the veto. It Is claimed by those who ought to know that one of them will forsake his political confreres and that the vote will be five to three against sustaining the veto, thus letting the veto stand. The will meke two of the three. There vas only standing room in the south wing of the canrt house last night when the time arrived to call to order the meeting of citizens gathered to protest against the action of the city council in closing South Seventh strect and giving it to the Rock Island rail- road. The citizens largely represented the district most affected by the council's action. and they were very much in earnest. Frank Trimble called the meeting to order, and his suggestion that Dr. Barstow be made perma- nent chairman met the approval of those present, Ira Hendricks was selected as sec- retary. The matter was thoroughly gone over in vigorous epeeches by Trimble, W. A Mynster, J. J. Shea, Ira Hendricks and oth- ers. If there were any members of the coun- cil present they cccupied very obscure and uncomfortable seats, After the matter had been discussed in all of its aspects to the ex- tent of leaving no room for the demccratic majority in the council to stand upon and no excuse for the mayor refusing to veto the or- dinance, a committe> was appointed to get the opinion of the meeting in a shape that it could be presented to the council at its meet- ing this evening. The committee consisted of J. J. Shea, L. Everett and W. A. Mynster. They were absent but a few moments, when they returned, and Mr. Shea read the result with more than his usual eloquence and en- ergy: “‘We denounce the action of the city coun- cil in passing an ordinance closing South Sev- enth street and giving it to the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad company. ““We ask the mayor of the city to veto said ordinance. “We respectfully call the attention of the city council to the fact that they are the servants of the people and not of the corpo- rations, and we suggest that they take a day off, commune with themselves and get this fact clearly fixed in thelr minds. “We suggest in a very mild way that next March the annual city election occurs. “We are firmly of the opinion that no right should be granted any corporation by the city without full compensation to the city. “We believe that the citizens who built upon sald street have greater there than any corporation. ““We represent that the residents south of Fourteenth avenue are very largely owners of their own homes, and that the closing of Sventh strect {8 especially a blow against th owners of homes, and will result in the con- fiscation of a large part of the value of many small homes." The report of the committee was reczived without a dissenting voice and with a vigor- ous clapping of hands. The chair was in- structed to appoint a committee to wait upon the mayor and council tonight and present the crystalized opinion of these taxpayers, and L. Everett, W. A. Mynster, J. J. Shea, T. L. Smith and 1. A. Hendricks were named. Mr. Everett thought that a committee should also be appointed to wait upon some of the local newspapers and torture them into an expression of opinion on the subject. This view was also taken by Mr. Shea and others. Colonel Baker, Captain Hubbard and C. A. Tibbetts were selected as the missionaries. The meeting then adjourned, and the men who composed it will occupy all the available room in the council chamber tonight. The men will entertain tonight at the Pres- byterian church parlors. A good program is provided and dainty refreshments will be served. The women are especlally invited to see how well the men can keep house. Literary and musical exercises will begin at 8 o'clock, and refreshments will be served at 9.

Daniel Sully will appear at Dohany’s opera house Saturday evening in his new comedy drama, “O'Neil, Washington, D. C.” Mr. Sully is an Irish-American actor who does not make the pecullarities of his nationality 50 broad and obtrusive as to dull the keen- ness of his wit. There are no bits of bog upon his shoes, and in his speech there is but the faintest shadow of the brogue. He acts without seeming to act, and thus wins his audience from the very outset. Each r appearance of this progressive actor has been marked by a great improvement, not only as to the class of play in which he appears, but In his personal skill as an artist. He Is a man of very distinctive individuality, and is possessed of a large degree of that indescrib- able force called magnetism. He is always satisfying and convincing, owing to his great earnestness in serious moments of the play, and the transitions from tears to uncontroll- able laughter which he brings about with such obvious ease and naturainess of method goes to show that actors are born and not made, for this force was always in evidence in Mr. Sully’s performances, even in the days when he was not so close o student as now His upward course has been steady and un- faltering, and in “O'Neil, Washington, D. C.,” he has a play of undoubted merit, which has received warm approval from critics of the drama everywhere. “In Old_Kentucky,” which is to be seen here on the 17th, is one of the most elaburate and expensive productions of the year. As may be imagined, the story is laid in Ken- tucky, and fine opportunities are offered for scenic display. The play opens in the moun- tains of southern Kentucky, and the scene shifts to the beautiful blue grass region, where the audience is given an excellent idea of all that is typical of Kentucky life. |There I8 a stirring race between genuine Kentucky horses and numerous other exciting scene of .absorbing interest. *In Old Kentucky' was the greatest success of last season in New York.

A Magnificent Floral Display. As one of the incidental features of the . Dewestic soap breaks hard water. poultry show of the Western lowa assocla- tiou the magnificent floral display of Wilcox, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: the florist, divides attention with the finest fowls on exhibition. The display Is confined to the west window, and despite the narrow limits, it fs a most remarkable exhibition of beau and magnificent plants, Special features are two fowls constructed of flowers and growing plants, wrought with such ex quisite kil that the breath of life only Is lacking to put them into competition with the real birds. This latest exhibit of Mr. Wilcox's resources as a florist is attracting wide attention, Question His Compo ition. Frank Guanella’s petrified man was brought to the city yesterday morning, and all day long held a levee in a vacant store bullding on Main street, A number of men visited him for the purpose of satisfying themselves as to his real position in so- clety, and opinion was very much divided over him. It is claimed by some that if he were really petrified he would not be in so excellent a state of preservaticn, His fea- tures are as clear cut as though he had died yesterday, the wrinkles on his wrists and knuckles stand out distinctly, and even the velns in the ankles protrude as though dis- tended with life blood. Altogether, there is an air of newness about him that is some- what discouraging to those who think he is a genuine old timer, and the corns on his toes speak rather of a nineteenth century civiliza- tion than of one that existed before tooth pick shoes had been heard of. Some uncharitable people have even so far as to speak of the fact that Guanella fs in the cement business as as the sand bank busine nd hint it Is as easy to make a cement man as a cement curbstcne. Very few, however, think that Mr. Guanella had any part In devising the fake, if-a fake it is. Whether the gentle man is a nineteenth century product or not, however, the fact remains that people are considerably Interested in this melancholy- looking stiff, and they will await with anx- fety the opinion of some one who has a better knowledge of the distinction between the fake and the genuine, large gone Frank well that Don't Cry Hard Tin Until you see what you can buy with a little money in the shoe line at Duncan's, These prices are tempered to the shorn pocket- books.

Trouble Over Insurance. W. B. Proctor, who lives at 229 South Seventh street, was placed under arrest yes- terday by an officer from Omaha, and is now in the city jail awaiting requisition papers in order that he may be taken to Butler county, Nebraska, He has been indicted by the grand jury of that county on the charge of embez- zling $100 that belonged to the Pacific Mutual Insurance company of California, for which he acting as agent until quite recently. Since his residence in this city he has been hustling policies for the New York Life. Sherift Derby of Butler county was in Des Moines yesterday and procured requisition pa- pers from Governor Jackson, which will be here this morning. While they are on the road Proctor is making strong efforts to get out of jail. He engaged J. B. Sweet as his at- torney, and during the afternoon habeas cor- pus proceedings were Instituted in the district court. The writ was made returnable this morning at 9 o'clock before Judge - Smith, while' the requisition papers will not be here until half an hour or so later. The Ne- braska people will try to have the case post- poned until the papers arrive. A telegram from Governor Jackson was received last evening stating that they were on the road. Proctor's attorney claims that the transaction out of which the difficulty has arisen was all right, and that the company is merely trying to collect a debt by means of the criminal courts.

Numerous complaints have been made re- cently of a crowd of half-grown men who live in the eastern part of the city, but whoso depredations are not confined to any partic- ular latitude. They terrorize the natives into submitting to their acts of outlawry, for the natives do not know but they may be the next to suffer. Windows are broken, gates are pulled off, bricks are thrown, and’ life is made one long, glorious saturnalia of fun for the hoodlums. Not long ago these young fellows stationed themselves on a building adjoining one of the churches in the eastern part of the city and amused themselves by dropping rocks down on the heads of people as they went to prayer meeting. The other day one of them, Willlam Dunn, broke a window at 114 Kast Broadway. He was brought up in police court yesterday morning and two of his pals, John Langdon and John Ross, were brought in to testify in his favor. In telling their story they forgot the wisdom of telling the truth at all times, and before they were through had contradicted them- selves at least a dozen times apiece. Judge McGeo at last became disgusted with the outfit, and dirccted that an information be filed charging both Ross and Langdon with perjury. They were placed under arrest and will be given a chance to explain to Justice Vien today. Rev. school class wiil Trinity Methodist December 14.
