THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Salary and Police Funds Low, Fire Fund in Good Shape. LITTLE MONEY FOR CHARITY Needs n of Other Taken ays, Dra y Hns Not Been Heavy. City of 1e monthly statement of the city clerk shows that expenditures for the fiscal year for the maintenance of the city gov- ernment have amounted to $138,168.01, and that a balance in the treasury of $17,860.70 remains for the last four months. Collec- tions for the balance of the year will probably equal a sum sufficlent to raise the balance of $50,000. The average month's expenditure has been about $18,000. 1f this 18 kept up the expense will all be met with 5,000 or $6,000 as a balance at the end of the year. Some of the particular funds will cxhausted by the first of May This fs true of the salary fund, which is at present very low. The police fund is aleo low, but plenty of money remains in the fire fund. The last year of Mayor Hoctor's term showed that the city expended nearly $7,000 for charily. The expenses of the city for March, usually one of the hardest months of the year amounted in 1909, to $64. This sum indicates, first, greater care in the investigation of pretendec need, and also a much beiter condition among the poorer classes of the people than formerly. The branch county store has had its effect also in reducing the demands on the city. It Is quite as eusy to apply to the county as to the city. The former expenses were due in part to emergencles, Much money was spent smallpox cases. The smallpox cases in March cost the city $i6. n Mandamus Sult in Prospect, Mandamus proceedings will be brought against (he Standard Electric company of Omaha in the district court today by H. G. Boesche of South 0Omaha to compel the sald company to re his name as a stock holder of the firm. The company refused to do this yesterday because It is evident that other litigation is to follow immedi- ately, growing out of the effort of Cecil V. Brook to gain access to the books of the company. 1f the mandamus is Issued it will be followed by action on the part of the new stockholder to check up the books and see that all methods are scrutinized. Boesche is attorney for Brock, and Brock has assigned two shares stock to him to give him a legal right to demand that he be recorded as a stock holder In the company. An Injunction was brought not long ago to secure possession or access to the books of the company to C. V. Brock. Brock sent his attorneys to examine the books and they were refused admlission, hence the {njunctlon. Dog Tags Now Ready. The time of the dog tag has arrived in South Omaha. The city clerk has received the consignment of tags and they will be ready for distribution as soon as the city council passes the new pound master's ordinance. The male dogs will be decorated with a tag shaped like a butterfly. The tag for females is an aluminium figure nine. e butterfly {ag is brass. The new ordinance provided that the dog license must be paid by April 15; but more time wiil be pecniited this vear as the ordinance will not be passed by that date. It will cost the owner of & dog §2 to decorate his pet. 1f a female 1t will cost $5. This is doublc " formerly charged, and likely enuugh (he pound master may find / larger number of dogs without tags chis year than ever The pound master is to get $1 for dog destroyed. He will not begin killing the dogs before May 1. Report of City Finances. The detalled report of the clerk follows, showing condition of funds from March 1, A. D., 1909, to April 5, A.

Meinzer was ob- afternoon at the resi- ody was sent to Racine, hool orchestra a spirited reply to the recent sermon of Frederick T. Rouse in the First Con- gregational church in which be classed Hebralsm and “Beezness” together during the course of which, the rabbi said the people of the present day have a right to expect healing for the soul from the pul- pit and are not looking for firebrands on the altar. “The doctrine of brethren dwelling together In unity of peace on earth and good will toward man Is pre- ferable in these days,” he declared. He cited a saying of Hebralc wisdom that he declared was applicable of the tenor that wise men shou'd be careful of thelr words lest they spread falsehood and mischlef and lest they be gullty of having unnecessarily and unwarrantedly caused mischief and misery. The whole discourse of the evening at Temple Israel was an exposition of the place of the Jew In the world and & proof that he is a man of ideals not a materialist. Especially is he idealist. The place in leading reforms of renowed Hebrews was given: Soclal democracy advocated by Ferdinand La Salle: soclalism, the theory of Carl Marx; national disarma- ment and international arbitration ad- vanced by Jean de Bloch, a Pollish Jew; Esperanto, the new universal language of Dr. Zamenhof.
