The committee of the whole of the city council yesterday reférred the ordinance granting the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rallway company the right to maintain two main tracks on Eleventh avenue, from Main street to the Unlon Pacific Transfer depot grounds, to a special committee, consisting of Aldermen Casper, Lovett and Tinley and City Solicitor Snyder.

STATE TAX LEVY IS TO BE FOUR MILLS Attorney for Mrs, Kuhn Making An- other Effort to Save Her from Life Imprisonment om Murder Charge. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 26.—(Special.)—The contract with the Burlington railroad in regard to the crossing of state land at the State Feeble-Minded institue near Glen- wood will be closed up early next week. The executive council will exact mo cash indemnity from the company for the right- of-way, taking the view that it is of just as much importance to the state that the city of Glenwood should have a rallroad as it is to maintain the grounds of the insti- tution. The executive council has drawn up & contract which the Burlington com- pany is asked to sign, in which the com- pany agrees to maintain the right-of-way in presentable appearance, to not leave ui sightly piles of dirt on the right-of-wa: to fence it with & neat fence, bulld bridges and subways, to conmstruct a conduit of sufficient size to allow the Board of Con- trol to place the water and sewer pipes therein and to conmstruct a siding on the institution grounds for a coal dump. The contract was placed in the hands of Judge Robinson of the Board of Control, who has gone tg Glenwood to consult with Dr. Pow- oll in regard to the same and see that all the points are covered. Attorney Eaton of Burlington and Mr. Fowler of Fairfield, right-of-way agent for the Burlington, have been in the city several times the past week and have consented to this form of contract for the company in return for the right-of-way acro e land which was authorized by the legislature. A Four-Mill Tax Levy in Sight. It s probable that there will be a 4-mill levy for state purposes by the executive council when the work of assessing and equalizing is all done. Good estimates are to the effect that the total of taxable prop- erty in the state will be such that a 4-mill levy will ralse the $2,800,000 which the leg- islature has required shall be raised by taxation. This is made up about as fol- lows: Real estate and new builings..$414,177,08 Personal property of all kinds.... 100,126,533 Rallroad property, estimated + 50,000,000 Telephones and telegraph . + 1,500,000 Express companies ... 300,000 lflrs,mgi It there should be a greater Increa: the rallroad assessment than indicated, the tax levy would be correspondingly re- duced. Controversy Ended by Dea: A controversy which has been going on for some time as to who should be re- sponsible to the state for the support of an {nsane patient at Clarinda hospital h been disposed of by the death of the p: tient, Guy R. Inman. He was sent to the state hospital from Woodbury county, but the authorities of that county claimed to have discovered that he properly be- longed in Monona county. Aunother sim- ilar case, involving Woodbury and O'Brien counties, has been pending i the courts for ‘a long time, and op the books of the state it {s shown that the bills for his support are not pald at all and have not been for seyeral years. Would Save Mrs. Kuhn. Another effort is to be made by her at- torneys to save Mrs. Sarah Kuhn of Keokuk county from life imprisonment in the penitentlary and they have asked for a rebearing. It was In her case that the supreme court almost created a semsation by reason of two opinions diametrically opposed, not merely on questions of law, but of fact. When the court held that the conviction of Mrs. Kuhn, for alleged killing of her husband, was borne out by the evidence and Justice Waterman, since resigned, wrote an interesting opinion to that effect, Justice Weaver, newly on the bench, wrote a dissenting opinion, which fairly swept away the foundations of the majority opinion, according to many law- yers. Justice Weaver made it plain that in his estimation the testimony in the case, which was all circumstantial, fell far short of being sufficient on which to base a conviction. Bold Work of Burgl During the severe ralnstorm between 10 and 11 o'clock last night burglars entered the Harter-Lowe Barber Supply house, 504 Sixth avenue, and carried away goods to the amount of $150. Every clipper in the houst and about eight dozen razors were taken. The entire stock had been removed from the shelves and piled in an indis- criminate mass on the floor, but the safe, which contained several hundred dollars, was not tampered with. MISSIVE OCCASIONS DEATH Letter Received by Harry Faber at Clarinda Bears Tidings Which Inelte Sute CLARINDA, Ia., July 26.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Harry Faber, a traveling repre- sentative for the millinery house of Stearns & Son, Keokuk, Ia., committed suicide here He was found on the Keokuk & Western railroad track Jjust out of town. He was lying on his back across one rall, shot through the breast. M. M. Dubinsky, who travels for a Rock Island drug house, rode here on the train from Villisca this morning with Faber and says that Faber spent last night in Villisca. The two registered here at a hotel and took a walk, during which Du. bingky says that Faber was good-natured and jolly. On their return to the hotel Faber received a letter from a woman whom Dubinsky says Faber had often told him he hoped to marry. Faber permitted Dubinsky to read the letter, but Dubinsky declines to give either the name of the writer or to reveal the contents of the letter. He sa) however, that the letter was probably the cause of Faber's suicide. Faber left the hotel, pufchased a cheap revolver and walked to the rallroad track. His dead body was discovered by two young boys. Faber was 22 years of age and his habits are said to have been exemplary. The woman with whom he was in love is sald to be an heiress to great wealth. A verdict of suicide was returned by the coroner's jury this afternoon in the matter of the death of Harry Faber, found dead here this morning. Faber's mother telegraphed from Keo- kuk, Ia, to bave the remains embalmed and properly cared for and that a representative of the family would come for the body. Faber bad been coming to Olarinda on business for two years. He was of pl ng presence and was regarded as a thorough gentleman.

VICTIM OF ‘DOGS .AN AMERICAN GIRL Attempts to Feed the Brutes is Feroclously Attacked, = Though Rescued , Dies in Two Hours of Wounds, NEW YORK, July 26.—A Paris dispatch to the World says that Mme. Bdmond Sempls, who, before her marriage a year ago, was Miss Louise Rutherford of Brook- Iyn, has been set upon by two Runger- maddened Great Dane dogs, which had been secured to guard her husband's country house at Annecy lake, and so terribly in- jured that she dled two hours after the attack. M. Sempis is a prominent business man in Paris. His home at Annecy lake 's Iso- lated, and, following a recent attempt by burglars to enter the place, he purchased two powerful Great Danes as guards. Mme. Sempls did not accompany her husband and their guests who started for a drive to Alx-les-Bains. She noticed the dogs while she was walking in the yard, and, knowing that they had been without food, determined to feed them, as they were apparently quiet. She ordered the cook to prepare a bowl of meat and carried it to the kennel, the woman accompanying her. Like Hungry Tigers. The instant Mme. Sempis entered the big iron enclosure the Great Danes leaped upon her like hungry tigers. They bore her to the ground, and as she vainly sought to defend herseif their teeth sank ‘n her arms and body. Her struggles apparently maddened the animals the more. The coachman heard the screams of Mme. Sempis and the cook. Mme. Sempls begged the man to save her. He ran to the stable to get a plichfork. "When he returned the Gr Danes had Yearfully torn their vic- tim. The coachman fought the brutes into & corner and kept them there until the cook summoned neighbors, who carried Mme. Sempis from the enclosure in & dying con- dition. [ OMAHA SUBURBS. The new mail wagon for rural route No. 2 arrived In Benson last week and is now in use.
