LINCOLN , Hay 17. ( Special to The Bee. )
Another fight between the city council and
ono of the municipal corporations of Lin
coln Is on , and , as usual , the contest has
taken the pl'aco ' of everything clso as a
subject of general conversation. The Lin
coln Street Railway company has secured
the Introduction of an ordinance ! In the city
council repealing the law requiring It to
soil sis tickets for a quarter and permit-
tlngjt to place faro boxes In the cars and
thus dispense with the conductors. The In
troduction of the ordinance has aroused a
storm of protest , and , on the other hand ,
a . * ery few people stand up for the street
railway company.
When the Lincoln Street Railway com
pany secured Its charter tlui city council
exacted a condition that six tickets should
be sold on the cars for 25 cents. When the
cars commenced running the company de
clined to bell six tickets for 25 cents on tlici
cars , and sought to evade the law by plac
ing tickets on sale at different stores around
the city at the rate of twenty-four for $1.
For some tlmo the patron's of tnts line
grumbled at the evasion of the law. One
day a man tendered 25 cents for six tickets
and was refused. Ho declined to pay 5
cents for his faro , but agreed to pay 25 cents
for six tickets and glvo the conductor a
ticket for the faro. A free light ensued , and
the conductor finally succeeded In ejecting
the passenger from the car. The passen
ger sued the company , and the case found
Its way to the supreme court. That body
decided about a year ago that the company
would have to sell six tickets for 25 cents
and that conductors must bo supplied with
tickets for sale to all who called for them.
The company now states that It cannot
pay dividends and must do something to In-
creasy Its revenues and cut off expenses.
It desires to rnpeal the six tickets for a
quarter ordinance and wants the privilege
of running Its cars without conductors. The
ordinance will bo hotly contested In the city
council , but It Is generally believed that
It will pass.
REFUSED TO PRODUCE ITS HOOKS.
A case of considerable Importance to Lin
coln newspapers and saloons Is In progress
before Justice Spencer of this city , and the
proceedings camei to a somewhat abrupt ter
mination this afternoon because of the re
fusal' ' of the manager ot ono of the news
papers to produce evidence of the circulation
ot his papor. One of the Lincoln saloon
keepers sued the Dally News for $10 , that
being the amount In excess ot the fee
charged by the State Journal for printing
the annual notions ot applications for saloon
license. When the printing was done the
notices were all Imported In the News , for the
reason that that paper claimed to have the
largest circulation In the city. Th notices
wore also published In the Daily Journal
and the dally call because these papers also
claimed to have the largest circulation. The
News charged the regular legal price of
$7.50 for oaoh notice , whllo the other papers
charged but { 2,50 for each notlco. II ,
Walteniado brought suit to recover ? 5 each
on two notices ho had published In the
Nows. In the trial before Justice Spencer
Waltemado alleged that the News' publica
tion of the notlco was Illegal because It had
not the largest circulation In the city. The
business managers of the thro papers wore
called Into court and instructed to bring
their circulation books. The Nowa re
sponded , but Manager Sechrlst of the State
Journal refused on the ground that the Jour
nal was not a party to the suit and could
not , therefore , ba compelled to glvo testi
mony. Justice Spencer then atked tha
Journal manager to submit his circulation
books to the court and the attorneys for
each sldo. This offer was also refused. The
case was then adjourned until next Tuesday
afternoon , before which tlmo Justice Spencer
will make up his mind whotber he has the
right to compel the Journal manager to pro

E. Burltnglm of Omaha-'oil ' the ground that

creditors. The stock 7wifS first transferred
to the Columbia National' bank for $10.200
and by the bank sold to'Hurllnglm. The
plaintiff In the suit 'commenced today al
leges that the stock \bs.yyorth { 21,000 and
that eastern creditors , jwpro purposely de
frauded In the transaction ,
The law against leaving"teams untied on
the streets Is being , rigorously enforced.
Several prominent business men were ar
rested today. ' * |
The case against A jl. Jones , charged
with the murder of JiJrry Peck at Sprague
last February , has beeivcontinued , until the
September torm. .
The contract for Lincoln's now High
school' building has been let to Trlcho &
Oleson for { 67,020. The bid does not In
clude heating and ventilating.
The Lincoln Hoard ot Education has
leaned warrants to the amount ot { 59,029 in
excess of the general fund. A deficiency
of { 65,000 at the end ot the fiscal year Is
estimated.
The Ellto castle , Knights ot the Golden
Eagle , of Omaha , and Red Cross castle ot
this city united In a picnic at Lincoln park
this afternoon. Doth lodges paraded the
streets with bands and banners before tak
ing the cars for the park. At the park

welcome , Deputy Supreme Chlof Il.iaa of
Omaha responding. Adrcsses were delivered
by Victor Seymour and C. W. IJerry. After
a basket dinner the afternoon was given
up to the enjoyment of athletic sports and
games.
PAKE IMPROVEMENTS.
Funds Will Jfot Warrant the Ciirrylit ; Out
of Knrly I'luns.
The plans of the Hoard of Park Commis
sioners are likely to bo seriously em
barrassed by the recent decision against the
city In the case where Clark , Dumont and
others brought suit for additional damages
growing out of the condemnation proceed
ings at Rlvervlew park. According to the
report of the appraisers the damages In the
case wore assessed at about { 10,000. The
plaintiffs refused to accept this estimate
and brought suit for additional damages.
The vordlct In their favor was for { 15,000 ,
and as there Is only { 37,000 In the park
fund , nearly half of the available funds for
this year's Improvements are disposed of.
The result is that the board will follow a
very economical policy for the remainder of
the year. No further Improvements will bo
attempted and It Is likely that some of the
men now employed will have to be dis
missed.
Superintendent Adams was at the High
school grounds yesterday preparing to begin
the Improvements contemplated by the Board
of Education. These will bo pushed forward
at once , and will bo completed during the
summer vacation.
The park board Is besolged by scores of
men who want work. There are a good
many men employed In the work now going
on at various places , but as the force will
bo diminished rather than Increased nil
applicants for employment are turned away.
Wo could not Improve the quality if we
paid double the price. DeWltt's Witch
Hazel Salvo Is the best salve that experlanco
can produce , or that money can buy.
LIEUT. MAXWELL'S DEFENSE.
AVlll I'lcml Irresponsibility to tlio Clmrgc
of Duplicating- Pay Cheeks.
Nothing was done yesterday In the Max
well court martial case nt Fort Omaha.
Lieutenant Maxwell has sent to Chicago
for depositions bearing on his case and It Is
understood that ho will make a hard flcht
for his Job. It Is reported that Sergeant
Tom Ormsby of the Omaha police force will
bo called as a witness for Maxwell. The
defense wants to prove by Ormsby that Max
well was at a downtown hotel for nearly a
week when absent without leave and part
ot the tlmo was on the verge of delirium
tromens.
This testimony , Maxwell thinks , will provo
that ho was not responsible for his acts
and therefore did not know what ho was
doing when ho duplicated his pay accounts.
The board will convene as soon as the Chicago
cage depositions arrive ,
Ho Uu Tlmo to Ciktvh tlnit limiter
