INCREASE 1N LITIGATION | Notajle Fact in Conneotion with Business of Distriot Court, EXPANSION MAKES MORE COURT CASES —— | Jadge Fawcett Sayn Augmentation of Legal Business is Unimpencha Evidence of Gencrally perous Condition, A hotable fact In connection with the business of the district court during the last year is an jocrease in important litl gation he old foreclosure cases that h;q\l“ occupled the time of the courts for many years since the hard times are beginning ti fall off in number, belng succeeded A new class of suits, namely, the tax cases, but there is a further augmentation In court work, due to the healthy growth of { the community and not to any laxity of laws, as in the instances of these X suits, and it Is this feature that is intevesting as being an index of progress. Judgs Fawcett explains the expansion of | important litigation by saying that it owing to prosperity and to the movement | of population cityward. “Take it when | the people in the districts are | becoming better settled,” he said, “and | when the residents of the city being tnfluenced more by competition aloug every line, social as well as commercial, and 1t | 18 easy to understand why cases in court | grow more numerous, The business in the | rural districts falls off and in the cities | 1t piles up in proportion. Prosperity mi commerce more voluminous. Competition | and friction among men becomes kecner | and sharper as volume increases, and as a | matter of comsequence the lawsuits are more numerous and of more importance “There Is considerably more litigation at | the present time than there was a few years by country are ago when hard times were rife. lu this way litigation Is an index of prosperity. Take it when money Is scarce, the de- fendant cless of people do not care as much whether judgments are rendered against them as they would if they know they had to settle them forthwith. In the same way the plaintiff class does aot care | #0 much for judgments as if they were as | good as cash. In cases of this kind the attorneys do not work so hard; they are not so ambitious, and so it operates throughout to restrict litigation.” The di- vorce business continues without much change, according to the opinjon of the Judge, there being a slight increase in the number of cases to tally with the increase of populatien. Foreclosure Cane e, Deputy District Clerk Steere sald that the mortgage foreclosure cases are on the wane, and that it is only a matter of a short time before they will cease to be a factor in the business of the courts. *“The cases that grew cut of the panic of 1503 and 1894, he sald, “are protty well oft the dockets now. In a short time litiga tion of this kind which has busied the courts for the last few years will be down to its normal amount. Divorce suits hold their own. They come in flurries. Some- times there are only a few in a week, and then again there will be clusters of them every day. They are like marriage licenscs, being more numerous In certaln montbs, but there is a slight Increase from year to year, being the result of the growth of the city."” Judge Baxter said that the judges of the district have under consideration a plan having In view expediting the work before Jury judgeg as well as saving the county weveral thousand dollars in jury fees every year. The plan is to have the three equity Judges in whose court rooms there are no Jurles take the benches in the countles in the district outside of Omaha. There are Just as many counties as there are equity judges. The plan would leave the jury Judges who have been tending to the out- side work free to complete the cases on their ealls here withou! Interruption. At present it frequently happens that a jury Judge must abandon the work in the Doug- las county court house to go to the county outside assigned to him. This leaves a panel of jurors, numbering anywhere from thirty to sixty, idle and drawing salary for their services at the rate of $2 a duy In the course of a year the proposed pian would save the county nearly $5,000, Senantionnl Suit of the Vear, Probably the case that attracted the A SOUR STOMACH. Is Often the Heal Caune of S er. That the condition of the digestive or gens has a marked effect upon the charac ter or disposition is a trulsm as old us the hHls. Old Ben Johnson wisely said ‘“the pleasure of living depends upon the liver' | and it is a fact which none may dispute that a sunny disposition more often resuits from a healthy digestion than from any other cause. Acid dyspepsia, commonly called sour stomach or heartburn, is caused by slow digestion of food; instead of being prompt- Iy digested and converted into blood, bone and musele, it lies in the stomach for hours, fermnting and decaying, creating gases which cause pressure on the lungs and | heart, short breath and general discomfort | and {rritation Such half digested food is indeed poor nourishment for the body, brain and nerves #nd the result is ‘shown in irritable tem- yers, unaccountable headaches and that de- pressing condition usually called the “blues’” but how quickly all these disappear | when appetite and digestion are restored Laxative medicines only Irritate the al ready irritated stomach and bowels and have no effect on actual digestion of food. The sensible course to follow is to make uso of simple natural digestives like Stu- art's Dyspepsia Tablets aftor meals until the stomach has a chance to recupes The natural digestives which ¢ healthy stomach contains are peptones, dlastase and Hydrochlorie and lactic aclds aud when any of them are lacking the trou- ble begins; the reason Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are so valuable and successful in curing stomach troubles is because they contain, in & pleasant concentrated tablet form all these absolutely necessary cssen- tials for perfect digestion and assimilation of food Henry Kirkpatrick, of Lawrence, Mass., s:—"Men and women whose occupation precludes an active outdoor life should make it a dally practice to use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals, I have done s0 myself and I know positively that T owe my present health and vigor to their daily use. From the time I was 22, ‘when I graduated from school with broken health from over work, until T was 84, I scarcely knew what it was to be free from stomach weakness, T had no appetite whatever for breakfast and very little for any other meal 1 had acidity and heartburn nearly every day and sometimes was alarmed by irregu- larity and palpitation of the heart, but all this gradually disappeared after 1 began vsing Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and 1 can eat my meals with relish and satisfaction which I had not known since I was a grow- 10g boy." The success and popularity of Stuart’'s Dyspepsia Tablets is enormous, but it Is deserved and overy druggist in the United States, Canada and Great Britain has a greatest attention during the year in the sensational way was the suit brought by the State azainst,Rev. Roland Hills be- foro Judge Daxter in Washington county on the charge of bigamy. Rev Hills was an Eplsccpal clergyman, who had taken the degree. LL. D., at Cambridge and the degree. M. A, at Durham university For ten years he was vicar of an English parish and curate of a par'sh in the same country. He left a wife in England and shortly after his arrival here he married Miss Dollie Powell of Florence. He was arrested in Tacoma, Wash., brought back on a requisition and sentenced to four years in the penitentiary There was one case before Judge Baxter in which the city had an interest above all others, for the reason that an adverse de- cislon would have cost the municipality about $1,000,000. It was the case of Law- rence Cofinors against the city of South Omaha to recover for taxes paid under the beliet that the asseesmenis were legal After the payment the supreme court de- clarcd them to be null and void. The con- tention of the plaintiff in the case was that when taxes were pald, not under protest, but in the innocent belief that they were legal, that recovery should be had when they were declared illegal. The decision of the court was in favor of the defendant In the city of South Omaha there is about §300,000 which has been paid into the treas- ury in this vay. In Omaha there has been nearly $1,000,000 paid, which would have ad to be refunded had the court ruled the other way It was before Judge Fawcett that a case in which the shortest senteace on record came up. It was in Washington county A one-armed lad was brought before the court on the charge of theft, having stolen $5 from A comrade. The money had been re- turced afterward and the boy had been in Jall three weeks. The boy wished to plead gullty. Judge Fawcett informed him that If he did he would get thirty days in the county jall. The lad pondered awhile and entered his plea regardless of the threat. Inasmueh as Christmas was but a fow days Off Judge Fawcett relented a little | and said that the sentence would be thirty minutes instead of thirty days and he gave the sheriff permission to turn his watch back twenty-nine minutes after the boy was taken to jail. That made the sens tence just a minute in duration The involving the largesi sum of mcney on record in the court during the year was (hat of Grandin against the First National bank of Chicago, in which the plaintiffl sousht to recover $1,000,000, al- leging that the bank had heen made a pre- fered (rediter of S. R. Howell of Omaha, when the assets should have been sold to satisfy the claim of other creditors. KEPT COUNTY ATTORNEY BUSY Legal Business Connected with Office Wax Heavier Than Usaal. The county attorney's office has had more than the customary amount of legal business to transact during the year of 1900. The twenty-one cases of Frank E. Moores against the county, involving $30,000 in fees, were tried and ave now peuding a decision. Likewise the two cases of the County against Moores to recover judgment for witness fees and lower court costs. In these cages there were 150 points involved. One, as a test case, was tried before Judge Baxter, and the others being similar will be prosecuted or dropped accordingly as there is a decision for or agalust the county. Another case that efforts of the county attorney brought to a settlement was the county's claim against the Midland State bank, which was compromised by the pay- ment of $5,000. Well up on the list of im- portant cases was the suit brought to compell Albyn Frank, the former district Kk, to pay over all fees in excess of $5,000 collected in the office during the sec- ond part of his incumbency, or after the passage of a law to this effect. Judge Estelle heard the evidence and decided that the law of 1860, requiring the transter of these fees to the county to be illegal cuse was taken to the supreme court and reversed. It is now pending a hearing in the higher tritunal on a motion for a tilal, The vear just passed has been notable for fmportant murder cases in the criminal court, in three of which the state secured a conviction. John Kerr, who killed John Reed in July, 1803, at Valley, Neb., was found gullty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to life imprisonment. Col- lins, the man who murdered ‘“'Shorty" Groves, Ina saloon at Thirteenth and Dodge streets in December, 1899, also was found guilty of murder in the first degree and sent to the venitentiary for life. Harry Floth, whose trial {s of so recent a date that it will be readily remembered, was convicted and sentenced to three years' for the murder of Edward Feo, on the night of Augus Among other important that have made the bribery case against former member of the school board. It will be remembered that the c me to naught because under the state laws the crime of bribery must be completed in the state, It was shown that Cowle made the proposal to bribe in Ilinois and hero, 80 that by this technicality avoided a trial. The similar cases Hess and Sears were never carried to a successful conclusion owing to a statute which declared against convietion by de- tective testimony. Another murder ¢ that failed of conviction was that of criminal cases year notable was the Arthur Cowie, the not the state against Charley Moore for the killing of John DeMolins {wo years aj dismissed on a technicality. MAILS ARE GROWING HEAVIER It was Eleven New Hnllway Mall Clerks Added and Business Per Cel In uo branch of work is the comparative business of the country better shown than in the Postofice department of the United States government, and in no part of this department is the variation in Lusiness mory apparent than with the rallway postal clerks, who, in this distriet, handle the mail from all parts of the coun'ry. Dur- ing the last year there has been an in- | crease of eleven in the permanent force of men who run on the x be routes under the di- ction of the Omaha office, the total num- now being 118, ) In the last year one new railway muil route was established out of Omaha, over the llinols Central railroad from Omaba to Tort Dodge, Ia., a distance of 145 miles. Two mail tralns and three express trains pass over this route each day. Those In position to know say that the increase in the volume of mail haudled on the routes office under the cent Omaha has been 20 per Tax Levy for 1000, or 1000, the consolidated tax levy was 247 mills, o1 $600,474.80. Of this the state levy of 7% mills amounted to $163,004.80, and the county levy of 17.2 mills amounted to $374,080.75. The school tax for the sixty-two districts outside of Omaha amounted to $57,628,24. The bonded in debiedness of these sixty-two districts is 27,120. The total school bond tax for 1900, was $4,174.56.

Revision of Main Line, The Union Pacific has devoted its encr- gles to the revision of its maln line in Wyoming, whereby the operation of trains might be facilitated and in the building of doublo tracks where the exigencies of | train service demanded. The work of track revision has been practically completed and the saving in distance and in the climination of grades and curves has war- ranted the enormous expense entailed in the improvement. Between Howell and Bryan the cut offs have been completed and | are now in use as the main line. An idea of the value of this track revision can be gained from the following table | | | t TR e 1444 344 | A I |E|8 88858 §| | e PP OR BT 8w W 3 e EB e b 5 ] &3k 8 = 52 el S| =) 1238 F e B z LR g -5 8 g g &zl g i i % 1§28, =8 e LR :‘L;«’fia‘-x’ Ea 1" & & | = Rl w,owl B BB > P @2 b omE Ela ss2ashkB|y ElE iy 3% fa y RS 8 - L ] K& gl" ] RIS B |2 £ 5 B8 st Important Cutofis, The moet important of the cut-offs in point of the elimination of curves and the reduction of grades are yet in prog- ress, one between Buford and Laramie, where the steep Sherman hill will be tun- neled, and the other in western Wyoming between Leroy and Bear river, where a tunnel 5,000 feet in length is being driven, The former cut-offs will not be entirely completed before June 1, 1902, while the latter will probably be ready for operation during the coming spring. Second main line tracks, entailing an ex- petditure of $53,770.31, have been built for the purpose of relieving the congestion of trafe at main-line district terminals. They oggregate in distance forty-one miles and are located between the following points Berton and Columbus, Lockwood and Alda, Buda and Stevenson, all in Nebraska, and Cheyenne and Borfe In Wyoming, The [llinois Central made its formal ad- vent Into Omaha early in the year and has since been doing a business entirely sat- Isfactory to Its executive officials and af- fording accommodations adequate to the demands of its patrons. Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley, With the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missourt Valley rallroad, the western branch of the Northwestern line, the year has been a prosperous one. By reason of its increased business and added revenue a number of improvements have been wrought. These have Leen largely in the betterment of the road's physical condition aud the replacing of most of its bridges with structures of greater stability.

This was due to no small extent to the splendid weather of the present fall, when the graders and workmen were sel- dom compelled to rest because of stormy days. The commissioners let a contract for 100,000 yards of grading, but they were compelled on account of finances to re- trench on about 25,000 yards of the im- provement, For the construction of bridges about $35,000 has been expended, this sum belng about the same as the expenditure of the preceding year as nearly as has been com- puted. There are twenty new bridges under County si | contract, many of them being large, hand some, steel structures, notably those over Elkhorn river between Elk City and Fremont and over the Papillion near Mil- lard. There are few bridges in localities bave been worn out by loug use, In the matter of providing for the poor the commissioners have expended more than ever before, owing to the custom of other cities in the west shipping paupers to Omaha and to the habit of those who oversee the rallroad grading camps out west sending men 11l and unfit for work here for treatment. The commissioners bave no alternative than to provide for these men, as many of them are unable to work. This Is particularly true of the Union Pacific grading camps, which, the commissioners say, send four or five men every month to the county hospital here, The last report shows that there are families dependent more or less on the county for shelter and provisions. On many days the bills for provisions show purchases of 1,300 pounds of edibles. A year ago there were only 445 families to be cared for and the provisions seldom reached the 1,000 pound mark daily. Dur- |ing the year the commissioners have paid ]‘mu nearly $1.000 for transportation for paupers. The books in the office show that about $200 in cash has been given to vari- ous descrving persons. These sums are greatly in excess of those of the preceding years. A reason for the increase in the tramsportation account is to be found in the fact that the commissioners send fur- ther on the people shipped here by other citles. EFFICIENT WORK BY FIREMEN Losses in 100 ishingly My ¥ nced to an Aston- Igure—=Only One uring Year, Omaha's fire department may well take pride in the small loss that the city has suffered from fire during 1900. The total loss was $88,192, as against $374,541 in 1899 During the vear there wer 65 alarms turned in. The Omaha Tent and Rubber company's fire was the only one of import- ance and the total loss caused by that fire was §3 Six persons died from burns, ceven persons were painfully burned and two persons were slightly burned dur- ing the year. Nine members of the f department were slightly injured, but there were no fatalties among the firemen. Five firemen were killed in 1899, and there were sixteen persons who died as the result of injuries received in fires. In 1600 Omahans paid $450,000 in pre- miums on $2,708,525 worth of fire insurance and companies paid $74,585 in losses, leaving $12,207 in loss which was not covered by Insurance. In the past six years Omahans have pald $2,700,000 |s premiums and the losses paid by companies have beeu only $735,617. Gasoline and kerosene were responsible for fifty-three fires. Children and matches caused seventeen and an equal number was supposed to have been set by incendiaries Thirty-seven fives were of unknown origin and sixteen wero caused by sparks from chimneys, In 278 of the fires the blaze Our Bicycle Man— Will make calls on New Year's day— thunking you kindly for the liberal patronage we have received from you during the past year and soliciting (he continuance of your trade for the com- Ing year—we also desire to inform all new comers or citizens who are not ac quainted with our business that we keep a most complete stock of repairs for cooking and heating stoves, ranges, fur- naces, gasoline stoves and hot water at- tachments—we are prepured to do all kinds of work for repairing stoves and furngces.

LABOR UNIONS PHOSPEROUS Big Advances in Wages and Plenty of Work—Many New Organiza- tions Effected The year of 1900 will he marked in letters in the history of the movement in the city of Omaha as the one in which the highest degree of pros perity was attained to the present time During the year wages, especially in the building trades, have been advanced to a point beyond the expectation of the most sanguine who were in the movement five years ago and the spirit of unionism has gone out and drawn into the movement trades which a year ago had no idea of organization. In the year Just closed there have been comparatively few strikes and all that have been maintained over twenty-four Lours | have been for higher wages and with one exception every ome has been successful May 1 there was a demand on the part of the carpenters for wages of 40 cents per hour. Three years before the same men were working for 25 cents and many of them were willing to take 171, but could find no work. The contractors for a time would not agree to the advance and wotk was generally suspended for about two weeks. Then the advance was granted and feeling between employers and employed in this line was never better. About the same time the agreement be- tween the boss painters and the union went into effect, by which the workmen received 5 cents per hour advance. A like advance was recelved by the brick- layers, making their present pay &5 cents per hour The only lost strike was that of the woodworkers, an fll-advised fight, made not for a raisc in wages, but for the recogni- red | abor union | Building operations conducted by the ; f Rock Island have been confined to the Lines Opernxng‘lnw snd Thmsh Omaba southwest, important extensions having Have a Big Year of Business, been made fn Oklahoma and Indian Ter | ritory and others now being under way that will add to the influence of that sys- GUERNSEY EXTENSION IS SIGNIFICANTInnm and increase its Importance as an Omaha line, because of the fact that this | Increase in Tonnage ||-n.||t.| the Past aipment Greatly Improved, y ‘welve Months Proves Existence Mt | Pactfic rail of Prosperity Throughout Ter The Milwaukee and Missouri Pacific rail- | all sitdey Served by Mol roads have enjoyed a year of great pros. | perity and have improved their service, —— | equipment and roadbeds in a marked | meaeure.
