In the last year nearly a score of Omahans have adopted this method of seouri divorces, it is estimated by lawyers, who are In a position to know. The rural divorce first began to be popular jn Omaha more then a year age when judges of the distriet court stopped the practice of withdrawing petitions to conceal litigation.

Mr. Counsman, in acoord- ance with this opinfon, will assess thess sompanies. c on a basis which will result fn an‘inerease of revenue to-the cify of more than $5,000 yearly, he said. Last year forelgn’fire insurance com- panles were assessed on a valuation of 166,800, their gross annual premiums, for sounty and state purposes, but paid taxes for ‘eity purposes on a valuation of only 1183,400, their amounts of cash on hand, for city purposes. An interpretation -of ‘a supreme court decision which resulted in the abolish- ment by the city of the éffice of tax commissioner, leaving the work to be done by county officlals, is the basis of Mr., TePoel's ruling. The deciston does not bar the city from collecting taxes on » basls of gross premiums collected, he decided. Autoists Park Cars in Middle of Street Omaha autoists have already begun to park their cars in the middle of certain streets, as required by the new city ore dinance. Until next Monday was given by Cemmissioner A. C. Kugel, superin- tendent of police, for the autolsts to get accuctomed to the new law, before en- forcement would be begun, but the latter have started out promptly to follow the new rules, Agion the wide streets where autos are already being parked in the middle, ar Howard street, from Sixteenth to | ‘qventeenth, and Bighteenth, from Har- ney to Douglas streets. @.

County Attorney Magney and Assistant County Attorney Platti scored the man heavily in their addresses to the jury. The 6-year-old daughter of Muzik testi- fied fn the trial that “papa killed mamma and then ran out of the house laughing and clapping his hands.” The defense sought to show that this and other acts proved Musik to be insane. Muslk as- serted that he was intoxicated when he committed the crime.
