The owner of the second mortgage after confirmation of sale began to foreclose his mortgage, al- leging that the purchaser, by reason of the mortgage having been deducted as a prior lien, was estopped to question the priority of the second mortgage. The supreme court, however, took the opposite view. In the decision just rendered the question was whether the supreme court had receded from its position in the Battelle case, and Judges Baxter and Day hold that the su- preme court had not.

Savidge, pastor of the People's church, has a new project under way—~the establishment of a library and realing room in connection with the ment at the time of the sale, the owners will not be able, under the ruling an- nounced, to enjoin the collection or ques- tion the valldity of such speclal assess- ments. \ The two cases which resulted in the dis- cussion of the matter of assessments wero John W. McCullough against the city and the Omaha Loan and Trust company against the city. In these cases the plaintiffs became the purchasers at judicial sales of property, In which sales the sherift and the appraisers had deducted certain vold special assessments from the gross appraised value. The purchasers, how- ever, fgnored the deductions and bid two- thirds of the gross appraised value. The court holds that the amount of the bid is immaterial In any case where siich deductions have been made and that the purchaser is, under such circumstances, estopped from questioning the validity of speclal assessments so deducted. In the McCullough case the gross ap- praisement was $3,00. The special assess- ment and the taxes deducted as encum- brances prior to the mortgage llen fore- closed amounted to $1400. McCulloug! under the law, could have bid and acquired the property at two-thirds of the net ap- praised value, but in this case the d ductions were ignored and the purchassr bid §2,00. A Makes Contention Stand. Subsequent to the purchase McCullough began an action against the city of Omaha to have the special assessments Included in sald deductions cancelled. The city con- tended, successtully, that McCullough, by reason of the deductions, was at this time precluded from questioning the validity of the assessment. The supreme court, in the case of Battelle against Mclntosh, in 1901 made the same ruling as that just announced by Judges xter and Day.

Mr. Savidge. “Therefore I am working up the plan and hope to have a fair-sized library full of books and periodicals open in a short time.

Church, the New York veterinarian, who secured $22 on a worth- less check from Raymond V. Cole, was ar- rajgned in police court, walved examina- tion and was bound over in the sum of $800. The check Church presented to Mr. Cole was drawn on the Omaha National bank for $0 and was made payable to F. W. Church and signed “C. J. Cummings. In tracing down the case the police have been unable to locate anyone in the city by the name of C. J. Cummings, who claims to have signed the check Church presented, or any other check, on October 2%, the day Church alleges he was given the check in payment for services rendered Cummings, in his professional capacity. Church says Cummings is a horse dealer. The check was endorsed by F. W. Church on the back. Although there is a simi- larity in the writing of the two names on the check, the police say the job is most cleverly done and would easily mislead any unsuspecting person. The detectives are at work on the case. CONTRACT LET FOR LIGHTS Work of Equipping Federal Building Wing Goes to Firm in New York. Custodian Barrows of the federal build- ing has received word from the Treasury department of the acceptance of the pro- posals of Cassidy & BSon Manufacturing company of New York to manufacture and place in position certain combination elec- tric light and gas fixtures in the federal building for $3,483.75. In reference to the approaching comple- tion of the structure Custodian Barrows sald the speclal miscellaneous supplies for the new wing of the bullding have been authorized by the government as sent in by him, and he has also been advised of the purchase by the government of all the furniture and fixtures for the new exten- slon, and these supplies are being received dally and stored away, ready for use as #00n as the building is finished. Mr. Barrows desires to make known the fact that under the recent decisions of the Treasury department and Civil Bervice com- mission all appointments in his de- partment are only authorized and issued at Washington “A considerable number of persons haye already applied to me for positions as watchmen, ete,” sald he, “as they observe the approaching completion of the build. g The custodian has no authority eitbher to nominate or request eppointments for any such positions, and all such appoint- ments must emanate from Washington. The proper method for persons desiring such positions is to apply direct to the Civil Service commission at Washington, but before doing so it might pe wise to confer with Miss Coffin, the local secre- tary of the Civil Service commission, in the postofiice building here, for application blanks and other information pertaining thereto. “The new extensions to the building are not yet entirely finished, though the time limit has been set for January 1. It prob- ably will be March 1 before the new exten- slons will be ready for occupancy.” COLONEL CODY COMING HOME Buffalo Bill Wires Landlord Peters of Merchants to Join Him in Hunt. Landlord H. B.

Burrows Up the Scalp Inte Dandrufft and Saps the Hair's Vitality. People who complain of falling hair as a rule do not know that it is the result | of dandruff, which is caused by a pestifer- | ous parasite burrowing up the scalp as it | digs down to the sheath in which the hair | is fed in the scalp. Before long the hair | root 1s shriveled up and the halr drops out If the work of the germ is not destroyed hair keeps thinning till baldness comes. The only way to cure dandruff is to kill the germ, and untll now there has been no hair preparation that would do it; but today dandruff is easily eradicated by Newbro's Herpicide, which makes hair | glossy and soft as silk.

Al | street | avenue Mr THROUGH CARS TO DUNDEE Bervios to' Be Established Within Twe Weeks, Says Mr. Smith, FARNAM LINE BEING CONNECTED UP Street Rallway Company Busy with Dodge Street and Other Lines “Within two weeks we expect to have all the Dundeo line in first-class shape, from Fortieth and Farnam to Fiftieth and Underwood avenue, the end of the line, and the Farnam street car service will be extended into that territory, This statement was made yesterday by General Manager Willlam A. Smith of the street rallway company, Mr. Smith sald further: “We are at present repairing the Dodge line from Tenth and Farnam to Twenty-fourth and Lake streets and the Commercial avenue line from Sherman ave- nue to Ames avenue, besides the work un- | der way of repairing the entire Dundee | line, The work of the Dodge and Com- mercial lines we do not expect to have completed before some time early in the spring, becauss the workmen have found it very hard to remove the old cable tracks. The Dundee line will be completed within two weeks and the Farnam street car service will then be extended with a sched- ule of one car every twenty minutes. It is figured at present that every other car will make the through trip. The old cable cars on the Dodge line and the old cars now being used on the Dundee line will be taken to some of the other stub lines for use there. Replacing All the Tim No orders have yet been placed for new cars to replace the ones in use on the Dodge line, but we have got to such a point that we have to keep replacing and scrapping old cars every spring. Next spring we will have new cars for use on the Far- nam and Harney lines and it ie probable that the cars In use on these streets ‘now will be piaced on Dodge and several of the other lines where the service has not been 80 goad.” Asked 1f the report was true that the old two-truck cars of the Omaha and Counell Bluffs line were to be used on the South Omaha line, Mr. Smith said: “It is not the purpose of the company to make it a regular thing to run these large cars on the South Omaha line, but at present we are using them night and morning as trip- pers on the South Omaha and the Sherman s. They will not be run regu- larly on these lines, but just when the travel is heaviest. Con siderable difficulty Is experlenced in starting and stopping the large cars and time is lost, so that we do not belleve that it is a paying invests ment to use them on lines where there are short blocks requiring many stops,”
