L Mark down one more national convention for Omaha for the exposition year. This Unit It In the American Dental association , vhlrh Is now In scrnlon at Kortrew Monroe , Va. This Is the olllclal organization of the dentlatfi In this country and the membership | not limited to any particular claM In the profisslon. Kvcry reputable dentist Is ell glble to membership , and every member Is privileged to attend the meeting's. ' Like all organizations of profcflslcnal men. this asso elation IB something of a school , whenoclcn tine and ethical querulous are discussed. It rip wcnts among Us members some of the bllghtrat minds In this country In the dental p'o.'csslon. The attendance 'at the annual mcctlnga ranges from BOO to 1,000. according to location and conditions. The ? meetings are generally held In August and generally occupy the better part of the week. Dr. George S. Nason of this city la In at tendance at the meeting now being held at Fortress .Monroe , and Is mipposed to have been largely Instrumental In securing the convention for Omaha. The magnitude of the undertaking can be better understood when It IB announced that the meetings of the dental association have never been held In the went , and that the meeting next year In this city will bo the first time the as sociation ever crossed the Mississippi river. ANOTIIKIt SHOT AT THIS AVKM , . H < I'oinl ClmrRo f D.vnmnltr HUH llrrn : \ | | | | < M | , ClmliliiK I'll Hie Well ) The artesian well , on the exposition ' grounds was "shot" again Wednesday night. Ninety pounds of dynamite were used and this charge was ex ploded In the middle outof the three strata of sandstone In which the water Is found. The effect of the explosion wan to tear away ) argi > quantified of sandstone which com pletely choked the well below the point where the explosion , took place and reduced the ( low somewhat. The drill was started Wednesday night and a large quantity of th's sandstone was drilled out. The drill was working about forty feet above the bottom of the well yesterday. Whether the debris In the well extends to the bottom or whether It Is only a few feet In thlckiu H remains to be seen. There Is n Indication that the last shot Increased the How to any considerable extent. The ad visability of shooting the upper stratum of sandstone Is now being considered by the Department of Uulldlngs and Grounds. If It IH decided tu not waste any more dynamite , the Iron casing will be extended to the bet tom of tlio well and the exact amount of the How may then be determined , Up to this tlmn Hie well has ccst ootwccn $5,000 and $ C 000. Person : ! vfflltlng the grounds expect to sec the water flowing from the well Into the ' 'lagoon and are greatly mystified to see that tie ! large pipe extending from the mouth of the well to the edge of the lagoon is per fectly dry. AH a matter of fact the water Is turned Into 11 ditch leading to a sewer. The fiucstlon of a water supply for the exposition continues to he a very vital Issue with the exposition management. While the Immediate demand for water for building purposes has been bridged'over by the ac tion of the Omaha Water company In allow ing a fire hydrant to be opened and water conducted through a hose to any part of the grounds , yet 'tho question of supply , for the buildings and. lagood Its In a most'Unsatis factory condition. TIED. UP IN COURT , President Wattles yesterday said : "The Omaha Water company people tell us that they are ready and willing to supply uj , but that they have not enough water to iio FO and cannot supply It without , enlarging thrlr plant ; this they say they would not be warranted In doing In the present un- tcttled condition of their relations with the city. I think they arc perfectly correct In their position. No business man would be warranted In putting more money Into his Iu3lncis. * when he didn't know whether he could continue doing business or would be forced to ccaso operations entirely w.thln a short time. Until the iuit now pending In the courts between the water company and the city Is t * tiled one way or the other , the company cannot be expected to expend any mnro money In Increasing Its plant. The ottltxn ot the company have made us a very liberal proposition covering our ImniL'dlnto needs , but they are not In a position to cuter Into any agreement that will rover the entire water supply ot the oxpisltlon. The lagoon on the grounds will require about 11.noo.000 gallons ot water to fill It. not allowing for necpago or evapora tion. Iloth of thus ? Items arcconsiderable. . f o that a m cU larger amount of water will bo ivimlrcd to fill the lagoon to tar ( with nnd it Is Impossible to compute what amount , will be required to keep the lagoon filled and keep the water from becoming Ftagnnnt. With KB present plant the water company cannot possibly supply this amount of water. It v/milrt bo a physical Impossi bility tti do so without Increasing Its pump ing capacity nnd the capacity of its mains. To do this would require u largo expendi ture of money and this brings us right back to the starting point. " IinAIlINO S13T FOU SEPT13MI1ER.

NU VI * TIIICIII OLD TRICKS. AVnnifii Crcnli- SciiMiition In LOS ANGELES , Cal. , Aug. B. A local paper say that Mrs. Mary Clcott _ and Mrs. Martha. Alt , or Wilson , the women who created such a furore at the Auditorium hotel In Chicago , by refusing to pay a board bill , are believed to be known In Los Angeles. C. M. Martin , the horseman , iden tifies them as two advcntureresses , who "worked" the coast a few years ago. Peter J. Burroughs , a Jewelry auctioneer , alao of Los Ancelcs , knows them to his sorrow , hav- ln-3 been sued by one ot them for breach of promise , after which he had them arrested for blackmail. Both cases fell flat , however. The worren are undoubtedly the same who raised quite a furore in this city In January and February , 1896. They sailed at that time under the name of Wilson and were accompanied by a 13-year-old girl , who was said to have been the daughter of one and the granddaughter of the other. The Wilsons dawned on Omaha one night during the latter part of January. They en tered McTague'a restaurant , which Is now the Henshaw hotel , and accosted two men , one of them named Paul Harris and the other being the Peter J. Burroughs men tioned In the above dispatch. Burroughs al leged that , after the breach of promise suit brought against him by one of the women had failed and he left San Francisco , the women followed him to this city. The party quarrelled and the women raised such a scene that they wtre arrested. Later they caused the arrest of the men on the charge of assault and battery. I This was by no means the extent of the sensation , however. It was at this time that Raymond was selling his jewelry stock at auction ami Buriouglm wau the auctioneer. For several weeks the women hung about the store , abusing the auctioneer and trying to Induce people not to buy. The annoyance became to great that finally Raymond BO- cured an Injunction to prevent the women from calling to thr store. They violated this ordnr and wereup for contempt of court. While this mho was on a constable one day tried to levy upon > the women's goods In the Drrxcl hotel to satisfy an attorney B fee In the. Injunction case. For a couple ot days the women remained locked In their rooniti. but Dually the- constable secured en trance. Ho WOK sot upon by the women and was bitten and beaten. . The women were again arrested for assault and battery and for rrsUtlng an o dicer. Finally about thn middle of February they were convicted In polled cotut of assault and battery , but they were releas-ed on their promise to leave the nit jr. They kept thlw promise , depart ing ut cure , The-y created sensational scenes both In police court , when they were tried on the assault t-aeit. and In the district court , whou they were arraigned for con tempt. _ _ To tlic Uolil l-'li-ldN of Allixliil.

Divorce cases are becoming quite common In the courts of Douglas county and are crowding the number of marriage licenses pretty hard. It Is a dull day when no di vorce case Is commenced , but yesterday opened up In an encouarglng manner. Three cases were started yesterday , the wives be ing the aggressors In two of the casea , while a wronged husband was plaintiff In 'the third case. The fiist case was decidedly out of tjo ordinary , M'ss ' Lucy Smith appealing to the court to declare that a pretended marriage by which she was supposed to be Joined in wedlock to Harvey Boone was null and void. Miss Smith Informs the court that she is an invalid and has been such for several months. In May of this year she alleges that he waa confined to her bed , but not withstanding this , she says , she was courted by the defendant in this action , who , ulio alleges , Importuned tier to become his wife. She eays she spurned his approaches and refused to consider him as her future husband. Following this she alleges that Boone procured morphine to be administered to her In large doses along with her usual medicine. She alleges that on May 31 , while in a scml-consclous condition by reason of this morphine , Boone came to her house , ac companied by a minister , and the ceremony uniting them as man and wife was per- , formed. She charges that the license for this ceremony was secured by Boone , who gave her name as "Lllllo" Smith and his own name as "Harry" Brown. She also says that he gave fictitious names for her parentu and committed perjury In several ways In getting the license. The petition further states that on the day following the wedding Boone told the plaintiff what had been done and when she threatened to get a divorce , she alleges that he flourished a hatchet and threatened to kill her If ehe attempted to get the decree. Following this , she alleges that he took what money elic had and such articles of Jewelry and other keepsakes as were In his reach , and disappeared. She says that lioono claims to bo worth $12,000 , and the court Is cskcd to order him to pay her attorney fees In prosecuting the case. Sarah M. Wright Is the plaintiff in the second case , and she aska that the ties which unite her to James E. Wright be severed. She says eho was married to Wright In St. Joseph , Mo. , June 18 , 1889 , and waa deserted by him September 10 , 1891. The plaintiff In the third case Is Sagnolncr II. Doreoy , who accuses his wife of Infidelity. a Ho alleges that they were married in Mil waukee Juno 19 , 1884 , and have one child , a boy 0 years of age , There la a time for evoryihtng ; and the time to attend to a cold la when It startB.

The plccn ot tbatpolice , growing out of their Inability to cope with the crooks who arc stealing , robblnginnd assaulting citizens and alfio arslng : fronu-.the pub.lc crlttcUm re garding that Inability , U being exhibited dally. Up to last Sunday , the authorities had succeeded 'In ' discovering but one crook out of the crowd now In the city to whom they could attribute , these crimes. That one was Harty Maloy , the young man upon whom they have ( been spending their vlndlctlvcnrtfl because they could not con nect Mm with any of the crimes and because he w'ould not confeas to having committal any of them. Slnca Sunday the police have found one more victim and have begun to pursue with him the same harassing tactlcii. The second man to whom all the criminal work Is being charged Is Dick Grandon. Qrandon him lived In this city nearly all his life and has succeeded In securing the enmity of the police , for which there la some cause. Durlnr ; the past few months , however , ho has been behaving himself and the police have not been molcellng him. This was the situation until last Sumla > when two open assaults and robberies occurred In saloons in this city and the police felt called upon to secure some scape goat upon whom they could lay the blame as they did In the Crelghton highway rob bery case. case.NO NO CAUSE FOR AllHEST. One of thrso robberies occurred In Wcls harllgan'a saloon at Tenth and Dodgi street , wht'ro Farmer Haldt was beaten am robbed of MS. After considerable skirmishIng - Ing the authorities finally arrested two men for this crime. One was T. J. McGovern , i well known printer of this city and secre tary of the local typographical union , am the other , Dick Grandon. The only ground.- , for the arrest wcie that they were found In the vicinity of the saloon. The police soon learned that they hai made a grievous mistake In arresting Me- Govern ar.d they promptly released him or the following morning. Gramlon's reputa tlon , however , gave them reason for holdln ; him and for two daya he was kept In jail It being said that an Investigation vuu being made regarding his connection will the Haldt robbery , although Chief of De tectlves Hcirmlng stated at the time whei McGovrrn was discharged , that therewa ; no evidence to show that Grandon had any thing to do with the crime. The police finally were compelled to release the prls oner. Chief of Police Slgwart and Chief of DC tectlvcs Hemming , however , determined t pursue the same tactics with Grandon a , they did with Maloy. If he could not bi convicted by his own confession or by evl dence of the crime of which they suspectei him they were determined that he E-houh be punished for something. They therefor gave Instructions that he should be arrested whenever an , opportunity offered. It was In obedience with these orders that a coupli of officers Wednesday morning dragged Gran don out of a sick bcti and arrested him on the charge of vagrancy. It being known n the time that the charge could not bo sub stantlated because Grandon had a home In this city. Grandon was found at 10 o'clock Wedncs day morning In a house at 1314 Chlcagi street , which big mother had given him fo residence purposes. He waa sick. He toll' ' the officers that .he was more fit for a hos pltal than for the jail , but the officers compelled polled him to leave Ills bed and accompany them to the police station , MOTHER MAKE SAN APPEAL. Yesterday Grandon's mother appeared at police headquarters and demanded he son's release. .She said that at the time ho was arrested she was making arrange ments to have him taken to one of the hos pltals ot the city. The police were compelled polled to recognize 'this demand. In the presence ot Police Judge Gordon Chief o Detectives Hemming admitted that , the man was sickHe : said -that Grandon had been 'in' the neighborhood < of the saloon when the aoSault was made on Farmer Haldt. The feeling ot the police wze further dla played by Captain 'Haze , who Apparently thought the prisoner.-was getting too good ft 'sendoff. He stated to the court tha Grandon bad been In the reform school The1 mother of the prisoner denounced this as a falsehood. Then Captain Haze stated that Grandon had been arrested a number o times , but the mother challenged him to show a case In which the charge had been more than vagrancy and suspicious character. The upshot of the matter was that Judge Gordon discharged the prisoner , -The mother took her son away and Intends to put him Ir a hospital today. The police are still after Maloy. Wednes day he filed an appeal bond In the case o vagrancy , of which ho was convicted , ami secured his release. Ho was at once re arrested on the charge of carrying con cealcd weapons , and gave bonds for his ap pearance for trial on August 27. The time liad been set by the police , that date being the time when he would have finished li' ' , thirty days ocntence for vagrancy. In order that he could not enjoy liberty In the mean while , however , the police Wednesday after noon hsucd another warrant for his arrest on the charge of vagrancy , although they admit that thee Is no charge or offense , which they can charge against him.

CIFY OFFICIALS LOCK HORNS Oity Treasurer Edwards Stands Behind Oity Attorney Council's ' Recent Opinion. DIFFERENT VIEWS ON PAYING TIME CHICKS Tronnurcr CiuitcnilN ( lint I'n y in rut lie- fort1'tiHxiiKc of Appropriation Slier I IM an IllcKiil TriniNfor ot I'miilx Comptroller SIIJM No. City Treasurer Edwards has locked horns with the Hoard of Public Works In regard to the payment of time checks and has refused to pay any more of these orders until after the warrants which they represent are drawn. He bases his refusal on the assumption that the payment of these checks constitutes an Illegal transfer of funds under the provisions f the charter. Ho Is supported In this view by City Attorney Council , to whom ho sub mitted the question. The effect ot this do- clalon Is to practically nullify another flec tion of the charter which was drawn np by Comptroller Wratbcrg nnd Included In the charter for the express purpose of providing a means of paying the laborers employed In the Hoard of Public Works department , without compelling them to wall until the psssage of the regular appropriation ordi nance nearly a month after. Section 101 of the charter provides tin "Tho department or board employing sue ; laborers shall , at the end of each week , Issu to said laborers time checks , to be furnlslie by the city comptroller , payable at the ofllci of the city treasurer when countersigned b ; the comptrollcd or his deputy. " The sdctlo further provides that ot the end of caci month the comptroller shall make a pay rol of the laborers so paid and that the warran drawn for the same shall be made payabli to the city treasurer to reimburse the treas ury for the money paid out on account o tlnio checks during the month. The Board of Public Works and the comp trailer take the view that this section I perfectly plain and that It docs not conlllc with the other provisions relating to tU transfer of funds. Comptroller Wostber suggests that the money paid out for tin checks during the month docs not constltu a transfer of funds. Ho says : "The inane received from day to day Is not distribute among the various funds when It Is recelvei but Is deposited in a lump sum. The tlm checks could be paid out from these receipt and when the warrant was drawn at the en of the mouth the amount paid out woiil bo properly deducted from the fund on whlc the warrant was drawn. " The treasurer maintains , however , that li has no authority to pay out money In th manner and consequently the employes wl be unable to have their time checks paid tint after the appropriation ordinance Is passe and the warrants are drawn.

The Advisory board collided with an uhcx pccted snag yesterday afternoon when It mete to award the contract for a lot of job print Ing and other supplies not included In th KIopp & Bartlctt company contract. A num her ot bids had been obtained by Sccrctar ; Coburn , but before they were opened th. Klopp & Bartlett company presented a com munlcatlon in which they called the alien tlon of the board to the fact that their con tract with the city contained the followln general provision : "All supplies not hercl : specified to be furnished by the contracto at market prices , otherwise the city , at iti option , may ask for bids. " The contractor ! took the position that they were entitle under the contract to furnish the require supplies at regular market rates and tha they could not be expected to enter Int competition with other establishments. Assistant City Attorney Scott advised th board that while the contract was not abso lutely definite it would be wise to recclv a proposition from the regular contracto before proceeding to ask for bids from othe firms. Consequently the bids were all orderei returned unopened and the Klopp & Bart lett company was given until 10 o'clock to morrow } to Pie an estimate of the cost of th required supplies. Mr. Klopp stated that I at that time- the board considered their estl mate too high he was willing to submit th matter to two arbitrators , one to be selcctei by the city and the other by himself. The bid of A. C. Raymer to furnish scythes and snaths for cutting weeds at $8 a dozen was accepted pending the approval by the council of the action of the board In ordering the weeds cut by the city and the cost taxed against the property owners CONTEST KOIl A CITY" POSITION , Itlvill OrKtiilr.iitlniiN Tiiki * II Ifiuiil In A | > | inliiliii 'iil nf KiiKlncorH There is a lively fight on between the two local organizations of stationary en gineers over the prospective appointment of an engineer In the city hall. The engineer who Is now In charge at the city building lies a better position In sight and his resignation Is In the hands of the mayor , pending an adjustment of the difficulty In regard to his successor. The local branch of the National Association of Stationary Engineers has recommended man named Schaffcr for the pcsltlon , and ho will probably be appointed by Mayor Moorcu at the next meeting of the council. But there Is another organization of engineers , called the Eclipse club and Its members arc making a vigorous effort to prevent Schoffcr's confirmation by the council. The result maybe bo that no one will bo appointed , for unless Shaffer Is confirmed the resignation of the present engineer will be recalled. CITV COL'XCII. ISXTIIA. SESSIONS.

The city council enjoyed the luxury of two special seFslons yesterday afternoon , The first was called at the request of the Ad visory board to take action on the weed nulaanco question , Mayor Moores submitted communication calling attention to the necessity- taking some action to get rid of the weeds , and submitted a resolution which the board requested the council to pass , The resolution authorized the commis sioner of health to employ as many men as were necessary to cut the weeds and to tax the cost against the property.
