The snows of cighty-four winters have whitened the Jocks of Frederick Renard of Oukland, Neb., but Frederick still wishes to marry.

To do this, application was made in Knox cousty for the appointment of a guardian for him, but such process Tequires fitteen daye notice, and the old gentleman learned this early and started for the license burcau.

JOHN LARSON'S LONG DROP Former Chicage Alderman Now Insane Pauper in Douglas County Hospital. The old sequence of political ambitions and ultimate financial and soclal disaster was unearthed in a bovel ‘at 216 North Ninth yesterday morning. John Larson, formerly a man of wealth of Chicago and an alderman theres for many years, was -~ taken, fighting growling. suapping, from & en in the cellar of the place, and after “ being forced, struggling frantically, into an ambulance, was carried to the county hos- pital. His wife, clothed in rage, sank to the ground and wept silently, comforted by kindly negro women, her neighbors. Now demented, affiicted with rheumatism and on the verge between poverty and starvation, this man was once & power in his pelghborhood and a strong tactor locally in his party. A score of years ago he owned property on Halsted street, Chicago, valued at many bundreds of thousands of dolliars. His standing, ~ influence and wealth made easy his election as sides man. From that time his fete was fixed. Larson was gullible, also @mbitious, &nd he became a victim of unscrupulous colieagues oot so well supplied with this world's goods. They begged his financial ald to keep them in the council, in turn promising to make bim mayor. This became routine, Larson being expected to elect not only himself, but several others every time. So he grew penniless while waiting his reward, and then he was shelved. The denouement of his plans was too much for the alderman to bear and he weakened mentally, belng incapacitated for work from that time. Gradually his condi- tion and position lowered. Supported by friends for & while, he sank finally out of sight, lost amid the newer interests of a great city, and four years ago he came to Omaba with his wife, where they began the life of veritable outcasts. The man’' now 68 years of age, has haunted the railroad tracks by night with other gleaners, pick- ing up stray coal and wood.

ECATCHES TAXES ON THE FLY Treasurer Hennings Takes Hot One from Bat of Howe Shoe Company. Protests against the special taxes levied for the comstruction of Central boulevard, for the grading of certain streets and the building of sewers are beginning to come in, and the irdications are that Thursday the city council, sitting as & board of equalization, will have a busy day. Attor- ney R. W. Richardson js one of several who are displeased with the taxes levied in Sewer District No. 252, which is in the northeastern part of the city, near Cut Off lake. “We alresdy have all the sewerage we need here,” said he, “‘as there is a sixteen- inch sewer which was lald on Pratt street during the first exposition year. Now they want to lay another sewer on Manderson street, and in the aliey between Pratt and Manderson and Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, which will virtually honeycomb that district with sewers. My property is now within a half block of the Pratt street sewer, and if the present plan is carried out there will be two other sewers within & half block of it." H. D. Girton, George B. Eddy, W. T. Nelson, Thomas E. Boyd and others unite in this protest. J. C. Tully, 670 South Thirty-third street, protests against his assessment of $82 for the buliding of the boulevard. He says his Jot at Thirty-third and Jackson streets is low, and hence cannot be beautified by the improvement. LOCAL BREVITIES. In Victor B. Walker's suit against the Storz Brewing company & jury has given F50 camages. A permit has been issued to W. R. Wis- per to erect at Thirty-second street and Tuesday the Howe Shoe company was do- ing business at the old stand on Douglas near Sixteenth. Yesterday the building was closed and the company's stock of goods was in Kansas City, having been packed and shipped during the night. City Treasurer Hennings has been watch- ing this comcern for some time, as it had given many evidences of instability. A vear ago he had to collect its taxes on & Qistress warrant. Several times since then it has changed names, and at the time of its departure was known as the Rochester Bhoe company. “This morning sbout 9 o'clock as I wal passing the store,” said Mr. Hennings, “I Dnoticed that the door was locked and that the window display was missing. 1 made inquiries of persons in adjoining stores and Jearned that the shoe company had begun packing its goods about 7 o'clock last night and that wagons had been busy hauling the stock to the rallroad yards until early this morping.

Arrangements Now Under Way for Special Reception of Undertakers Thursday Night—Hustling Committee is Busy. “Governor's Night" at the den of Ak~ Sar-Ben will be June 23, the governor hav- ing sent his acceptance of the invitation of the hoerd to be present on that date. The occasion of the governor's visit will be made one of the greatest demonstrations at the den, ne pesple from several of the towns of the state will be present in ad- dition to the usual run of visitors. The den will be gay with color, ae the members of the governor's staff will be present with him and will be given an opportunity to pass upon the revolution in the work introduced this season. A large number of the people of Lincoln will probebly sccompany the governor's train to the city, but the night will be devoted | particularly to South Omaha, and it is probable that the efforts of the hustling committee for the week ending June 21 will be centered upon the Magic City. Early in the season it was understood that the residents of South Omaha who intend to join the order this season would defer their introduction &t the den umtil governor's night, when they would come in with their former townsman. It is probabie that 100 or more of the South Omaha men will be present on that night, and special fea- tures will be added in homor of the oo- casion | At the present time he workmen st the den, under the instruction of Mr. Rense, are making preparation for the reception | of the undertakers Thursday evening.

WILL COMPARE TAX LISTS County Board to Make Comparison of City with County Assess- ments. For the use of the County Board of Bqual- ization a man is preparing & comparative ehowing of the assessments made against local concerns by the city tax commissioner and by the county assessors, the method of figuring valuation to be reduced to & com- mon basis. It has already been discovered that some very wide differences of opinion exist, in one instance a store assessed &t & valustion of more than $40,000 by the city baving been assessed st & valuation of $11,000 by the county's minion. The object of baving the two sets of fig- ures convenlent is, of course, to assist the commissioners in more readily determining equalities ‘when they sit to take up com- plaints next Thureday. As yet the complaints sre Dot numerous, but & number of firms have agents at work on the tax books taking off the valuations, presumably with the object of protesting when the board gets into action.

She withdrew into an immer room, to return & moment later. “‘Mrs. Blank says 1 can answer your cuestions,’ she ssid. “1 sent ber back again with a statement that the law would not permit such sm wrrangement. She returned the eecond time to say that Mrs. Blank was engaged snd thet I might call the next day.
