NO. 102 COUNCLMEN LOOK OVER NEW STYLE STREET PAVING Well Pleased With Showing of New Material Now Being Used at Eed Oak, Iowa. From Thursday's Daily. The party composed of Council men John Sat tier, L. L. McCarty and J. H. MeMaken, and Bert Cole man, who were at Red Oak, Iowa, yesterday to look over the new Vi brolithic type of paving, were very much pleased with the showing of the new method that is fast becom ing popular in this part of the west. The party saw the active operation of laying the paving and were en thusiastic over the showing made in this class of work. The method used in the paving is new to this section of the country and gives a much harder pavement than that formed by plain concrete, it is claimed. The process used at Red Oak was that of laying several inches of a composition of Louisville limestone, sand and cement and af ter this had been placed to the re quired depth a quantity of the Sioux Falls granite, broken into small siz ed pieces was scattered over the sur face of the fresh paving. Strips were placed on top of the paving and on these motorcycle engines were plac ed which furnished the vibration that caused the settling of the pav ing and forced all air bubles or wa ter out of the concrete to the sur face and also caused the particles of granite to sink into the fresh con crete and when the vibrating process was finished the paving was strong enough to bear the weight of a per son without breaking through in stead of being soft and yielding as in the case of fresh concrete. After this style of paving has been laid it is covered by a dressing that hard ens the top and makes it so that it can be used in ten days after being put down. The councilmen attending the demonstration felt well repaid for their efforts in getting-first band information on the paving will be - considered among - other types for the paving here "Ihla year. If the weather permits a large num ber of the council and the mayor may journey to Fremont Sunday to look over paving there that is of a similar type. THE ETERNAL TRIANGLE CAUSES DOMESTIC WAR "The Other Woman" in this Case Causes War that Filled Home With Destructiveness. Being a Sheik ha3 its disadvan tages as well as its advantages and oftimes the gentleman who has imi tated the methods of the desert chieftains finds that he occupies an unfavorable position in the midst of a warfare of his women. This has been proven in this city within last few days altho instead of wife causing the disturbance in triangle it seems to have been "other woman," as they say in the the the the the movies. One of the residents of this city has been living here or rather his wife has been making headquarters here with friends while he has been pursuing the elusive dollar in the state metropolis, and during his so journ in the city that is known far and wide as the abode of Dan Butler, he became involved with one of the alluring ladies of that city and this fact reaching the ears of the wife caused more or less comment that in turn "angered the Omaha lady and a few evenings ago she arrived here and sought the residence wherein tne wire was making ner home and there staged one of the lurid battles of the females for their mate, and as the strife increased she struck the wife or at least slapped her severely and then fled from the scene of ac tion. Sometime later the police were no tified of the affray and Chief of Po lice Jones hastened to the scene but the lady doing the Dempsey act had fled and made good her escape back to Omaha.

STORM BRINGS RELIEF FROM SUL TRY CONDITION This City Fortunate in Not Receiv ing Brunt of High Wind Damage in Omaha. From Thursday's Dally. The large bank of dark hued clouds in the northwest caused much apprehension here late yesterday af ternoon and the first touches of the wind that preceeded the storm caused the motorists who had their cars on the main streets of the city to get them into places of safety before the storm broke, but fortunately the storm proved much milder than the indications had pointed to. Some hail and a very heavy rain fell for a fifteen minute period from 5:15 to 5:30 but did very little dam age and served only to clear the at mosphere of the humid heat that had prevailed during the afternoon. In Omaha the storm was quite se vere and resembled in some respects a repetition of the tornado of 1913 the district and tore out trees, para- j nnrt hrnV manv wlndnwn in tliP weRt , w'Bich'and couthern part of the city. The exceptionally heavy rain resembled a cloudburst in many respects and as a result the cellars and streets were flooded for a short time. The wind in Omaha reached a ve locity of thirty-nine miles an hour, but differed from a tornado in that it was steady and proloned and was followed by a rainfall of .52 inches. The storm seemed to have been the severest in the Field club, Benson and Dundee districts.

MISSOURI RIVER WASHES OUT 40 FEET OF RIP RAP Section Men and Extra Gangs of Burlington Fight All Night to Retard Inroads of Biver From Friday's Dally. The Iowa bank of the Missouri river, which has been the scene of much cost and labor in the last few years, to check the tendency of the river to carve a new channel for it self through the fertile fields of Mills county, is once more causing trou ble for the Burlington railroad and the residents of that locality. Last evening the Missouri made a further raise that made the stream a dangerous factor for the safety of the rip rap and the works that had been built along the bank to check the stream and before the Burlington could get a force of workmen on the scene, some forty feet of the rip rap placed there in the last two years, was washed out and a hurry call was made for all of the section men in the employ of the railroad and these were rushed to the scene of action, which is almost straight east from the Burlington passenger station here. The force of workmen labored all night and five car loads of rock and stone were used in an effort to help strengthen the rip rap against fur ther inroads of the river and special gangs will be used in combatting the tendency of the Big Muddy to break through the rip rap and seek a new channel. The river has been quite high for several days, and it is thought tbat there will be grave danger in the next week or ten days from the river as the June rise is now on.
