The meeting of the Hoard ot Park Com
missioners yesterday afternoon was of
rather mii'o than ordinary Interest , as n
couple of Important matters were exhaus
tively discussed. In Ituo matter of taking :
up the plan , ot constructing the bridges over
the exposition lagoon there was no particu
lar dllt'erenco of opinion. The members had
agreed nil along that the bridges should
bo constructed if thtj work couldi bo doiri
with the funds 'that ' wore at the command
of the board. President Tukey was Instructed
to advertho for new bids cm general planet
ot standard bridge work , each bidder to
work out the details according to his own
views. It Is believed that In 'this ' manner
the brld'ges ' can be built for Us * than $10,000.
There was a long and somewhat vigorous
debate on. the proposition which was sub
mitted by Curtlss Turner some months ago
to donata certain lots at Thirty-second and
Farnam streets for a park boulevard on con
dition that they should bo Improved by the
board without taxing any part of the cost
against , cei'taln ' adjoining lots and also that
certain other lots In the vicinity should be
oxcmptcd from all taxation. Moro recently
Mr. Turner stated that he proposed to with
draw his proposition unless It was accepted
at once and yesterday the committee on Im
provements of 'tho board recommended that
It bo accepted. Other members opposed It.
anil so dlili City Attorney Council , who was
called In for advice. Mr. Council stated that
while the Idea of parkin ? the worthless ra
vines In the city was certainly ajood one ,
this -was the wrong way to go about IU
Ho contended that the minute the city ac
cepted the Turner proposition It was com
mitted to the Improvement of this ravine.
Thenl , an additional value would attach to
the other lots that -would be required In
order to complete tha boulevard and the re
sult would bo that the gift of the first few
lots would bo n very expensive one for the
city. He advised that no such step bo taken
until the board was ready to do the entire-
Job and thon. the ravlno could bo condemned
at a comparatively slight expense and most
of this could be assessed on adjacent property - .
orty on or-count of benefits. The board
decided to postpone action for ono week.

So far as the Omaha Pair and Spocd asso
ciation Is concerned there will bo 010 state
fair held next year on account ot the exposi
tion. That was the decision reached at a
meeting nt the executive committee of that
body yesterday. The action was taken In a
resolution unanimously- passed , rrhls pro
vided that theaesoclatloa was willing to
call the fair olt on condition that s.uch ac
tion would not affect the contract according
to which another state fair Is to ( bo held
In this city In. 1899. The resolution was
passed at thq request ot the Beard of Agri
culture , which wanted to know horn the as-
Roclatlon felt regarding the matter.
The remainder of the evening was spent
by tbo directors lit getting Installed In their
posltlona and learning the condition ot affairs
of the association. lu connection with the
latter , ex-President Hcnnett presented a re
port showing the Items with -which ho ha < X
something to do by virtue of his olflce. This
Included an Inventory of property end an
account ot the recent bond Issue- . According
to this report , over $30,000 of the bonds have
been eold , a majority of the subficrlptloua
being paid 'in. There Is remaining some
$ IOCO unsold bccids. It was also learocd that
with the exception of thla bonded Indebted"-
ness the association owes nothing and has
several hundred dollars In the treasury ,
enough to pay the first half year's Interest
on the bonds. There Is still some- work con
nected with the bond matter and therefore
Mr. Dennett and Walter O. Clark were ap
pointed a special committed to bring It to a
close.
The resignation of W. A. Paxton was re

Omaha exposition to bo held next year , was
In the city on business connected with that
work. Ho stated that Montana had been as
signed excellent space at the exposition and
that the outlook for a fine exhibition ot this
state was very favorable. In agriculture
particularly ho thought that Montana would
surprise the 'world ' , as that Is commonly
looked upon as ono of the least of the state's
resources. In regard to the mineral display
ho says that his assistant. J. W. Chapman o

display was going to bo a credit to the state

The Klondike and Omaha have been
wedded together. The wooing took place
last ulght through some of the members
ot the exposition directory and a dozen San
' .riuicltcoans who are whirling over the coun-
ry In a special ear containing an Alaskan
ml Klondiku exhibit. The ceremony wl\l \
> o performed this afternoon at 2 o'clock
t a. meeting to bo held at the Commercial
lub. I
This welding together ot Interests Is the
csult ot the arrival ot a ppcclal car at the
ml ot the Union Pacific train from the
vest late yesterday afternoon. It was a
pcctal coach peopled by representatives ol
ho Alaska Trade committee of San Fran-
Isco , which Is made up of the Merchants'
association , the Chamber of Commerce nnd
ha Board ot Trade of that city. Besides
ho people the car was loaded wHh an
exhibit of great Interest and all relating to
ho Klondike. There were multitudes of
urs snatched from the backs ot wild beasts
f Alaska , specimens ot the handiwork of the
ndiau Inhabitants ot that country , snowshoes -
shoes , gold specimens , every part of the
outfit that a prospective Klondlkcr must
flguro ou and a multitude ! of other things
connected -with the Yukon district.
This car has been sent out by the mer
chants of San Francisco U Induce people
of the country to take up a pilgrimage to
the Klondike and also to purchase their
ou-tfit from San Francisco merchants. The
ichome was found necessary ln\ \ view of the
icon competition among ecu at cities to secure -
cure the trade. The car left Sail Francisco
a week ago last Tuesday and will go all
the way through ta New York. Incidentally
the Junket la furnishing a royal good tlmo
for those-on it and the latter are not spar-
lug in dividing their good things with the
people who -visit ithem on the car.
The plan Is being worked after a system.
The car Is preceded by a couple ot advance
men and royal good fellows , L. n. Hare and
C. II , Holbrook. These make arrangements
for the reception of the junketers , for thi
placing of the car where it may bo visited
and Inspected by the public and Its objects *
may bo explained and for a lecture on the
gold fields , which U delivered by ex-Gov-
ornor Shcakley of Alaska. Other Informa
tion of the Klondike is dispensed by the re'
malndor of the party , which consists of D.
M. Carman , secretary ot the Alaska Trade
eommlttco : Thomas C. Willis , Henry Gray ,
Thomas McGee , II. J. fTaylor , C. M. Jenkins
and others , all capitalists or representative
business men. Some of them are accompan
ied by tholr wives.
Immediately after the arrival of the party
hero they all went to the Mlllard hotel ,
where they took dinner. Before the meal
wns finished the visitors wcro greeted by a
number of exposition directors , among- them
iiclm ; 'Messrs. Wattles , Dudley Smith , D.M. .
Dcorlng , Babcock and Klrkendall. An in
formal reception followed and it 'was ' at this
that the exposition and the Klondike exhibit
wcro in a measure combined.
OAMB TO THE EXPOSITION.
There will too held in San Francisco from
January 24 to 28 next a golden semi-cen
tennial celebration cf the discovery of gold
in California and following this for several
weeks a 'mining ' exposition will be held. This
exposition will close some tlmo In May. The
suggestion was made and heartily appioved
by both exposition directors and Ban Fran-
clscoans that the entire display should -bo re
moved to this city and planted on. the cx-
posltloti grounds. Regarding- this plan
Secretary Carman of the trade committee
stated that he saw no reason why it should
not be followed out and thus furnish an ex
cellent exhibit for California. He stated
that no provision had been made by the
legislature for any exhibit and that the state
could not expect to get up a good ono by
means ot individual subscriptions. The min
ing exposition would furnish an excellent
ono , for It would not only display the mining
Industry of the Klondike- and of CaliforniA ,
but also the fruit and other resources ot the
latter. The plan Is heartily favored by the
Callfornlans and they have also practically
agreed to advertise the Transmlsslsslppl Ex
position equally with the Klondike during
the remainder of their Junket. Secretary'
Qarman is of the opinion that great goodwill
result to both from the eastern trip.
The San Franciscoans will bo the guests of
the city today. At 11 o'clock a delegation of
citizens , consisting ot 'Mayor 'Moores ' , G. W.
Wattles , John 'E. ' Utt , T. S. Clarkson. E. A.
Benson , C. S. Montgomery , H. J. Pcntold , F.
J. Uurkloy and George H. Payne and others.
will visit the car and take luncheon with
the Callfornlans. The latter 'will then be
taken for a drive about the city and to the
exposition grounds. Following tha ! the party
will bo taken to the Commercial club and
will bo entertoliTed. At 2 o'clock a public
meeting -will be held , at which the Klondike
will be boomed and the exposition will come
In for Its share ot boosting. Ex-Governor
Sheakly of Alaska will driver a lecture upon
the Klondike region. The -public Is espe
cially Invited to this meeting. All day today

Thn matter of the protest against the pro

special meeting of , the Board of Fire nnd
I'olico commissioners yesterday afternoon ,
Attorney Saunders presented the argument
for the contestants. He emphasized the prox
imity of the.proposed site to the Lake street
school and brought out the fact that moro
than 100 children Would bo obliged to pass
the location on their way to school. Attor-
ney DeFrance represented the applicant ami
argued that the site was no nearer a school
than In many other rases where license *
had been constantly granted In the past. He
asserted that Nelson had a reputation for
keeping an orderly place and that no harm
could result to the children of the neigh
borhood. At the end of the arguments the
board still found Itself In doubt In the mat
ter and deferred a decision until next week.

AMUSEMENTS.
Yesterday afternoon at ttio First Congrcgi

musical department of the Woman's club
This organization has formed a dcpartmcn
of muslj and appointed a leader , whoso duty
It Is ta supply musical performers and enter
talnments. U has put upon her this task
and yet falls utterly to support her in It
conscientious discharge. U Is safe to sa
that less than 23 per cent of the club's mem

ease and composure and seems to make
oolnt of speaking to her nudlenco Wirout !
her music. Her pronunciation is unusual !
distinct and very often a subtle bit of ex
oresslon Is accomplished by the Inflection ot
a word. Yesterday there was ono blemish
to Mme. Meredith's singing , that was un
fortunate and probably duo to much travel
ing ot late , she being en her way from Den
ver to New York , to which city she went for
an oratorio concert. The blemish was an oc
casional tone not quite up to its proper pitch.
The program was not such as many In the
audience would have ejiosen. There were too
many llttlo sangs , gSott enough In their way ,
but better suited to a parlor thoa to a pub
lic concert , cspeclallywheti / the concert Is a
rejltal by one person. . The most Interesting
numbers were "Im Herbst , " by Franz ; "I'm
Wearing Awa' , " byT./Arthur Foote ; "Die
Lorelei , " by Llszt , . . va.songs by Rubinstein
and "Spring" by "George Henschel. These
wore also the best ! rendered , especially "Im
Herbst" and "Sorlng.u
A most enjoyable ipart of the program was
the pla.no sole by Joseph' Gahm. The Bourreo

violin sonata compoeediby Bach was played
with an artlstl : nnlsh tbat was as pleasing
as usual. Mr. Gahm'irtono Is mellow and

night for the larceny ot a fur collarette ,

courts yesterday , spent parUot the day In

bond. She was beCore Julgo Slabaugh
during a greater portion , of the afternoon ,
in whoso court she had Instituted habeas
corpus proceedings.
When the case waa called In the district
court a number of witnesses were sworn ,
flomo of them telling how Maud Raymond
happened to .bo . arrested , whllo othcre told
of the efforts that had been made to secure
her liberty and after all the other resources
had been exhausted the attorney bethought
himself ot the habeas corpua and' ' rushed
Into court to secure the writ. To all ol
this Judge Slabaugh listened patiently and
then held that Mlsa Raymond's attorney waste
to court on the wrong line. The court found
out- from the evidence- that Clerk Clancy
of the police court had approved a bond foi
the woman's release and had so notified
the authorities at the station. These author
ities had Ignored Clancy's action and had
held MLss Raymond In custody all ot Wednes

reached the district court.
It so happened that the bond that Clanc )
approved provided that Miss Raymond sliouk
appear La police court at 0 o'clock yesterday
morning and answer to the charge preferrci
against her. The habeas corpus proceedings
were not filed till noon , BO of course their
legal effect wcot for naught.

torney Walker dropped Into the station and
oakod to sec Miss Raymond. The request wa
infused by both Chief Gallagher and Captain
Haze. Walker hastened to the house o
Judge Gordon and the 'bond for iMlss Ray
mond's appearance In police court was set a
$1,000. Judge Gordon stated In naming thl
amount that ho would make the 'bond ' larg
enough to cover any other charges whlcl
might bo filed against the woman , as h
understood she would be held upon one mor
sertous than merely that of being a suspicion
character.
Attorney Walker hustled back Into hi
slolgh , and next visited Clerk of the Pollc
Court Clancy , from whom he obtained a
order for the release of the prisoner. When
Walker called again at the jail he presented
his papers to Captain , Haze and Chief Galla
gher , but , considerably to his surnriso. the
order of the court was Ignored and the
officials refused to release Miss Raymond ,
stating ; that the amount of the bond given
was not sufficient to cover ) the enormity of
her crime. Walker stated he would produce
signers to a bond for ? 5,000 if necessary ,
which ho would submit for -the approval oO
Judge Gordon , but the officers Informed him
that his zeal was misdirected , for the or
ders of the court notwithstanding , they would
still retain Miss Raymond.
ON ANOTHER CHARGE.
Yesterday morning Captain Mostyn asked
that a new Information bo issued ,
charging Miss Raymond and Klnzle
with the larceny of $22.50 worth
of fura from the store of Johu
Urbancyzk , 320 South Fifteenth street. Cap
tain Mostyn asserted that both persons had
been positively Identified by Urbancyzk , and
that Miss Raymond was a notorious shop
lifter , for whom the police bad been looking
for some time. Before the proper papers had
been Issued Attorney Walker appeared in po
lice court with a writ of habeas corpus for
Miss Raymond , taken out In Judge Sla-
baugh's court. The writ also notified Chief
Gallagher and the other police officials to
appear In the upper court.
Last evening after disposing of the Ray-
mrrad case , Judge Slabaugh Intimated that
there was too much friction In the operating
of the affairs of the police court. From the
evidence adduced , he said that it was ap
parent to him that prisoners were released
on orders from the Judge , the chief , the clerk
and the captains , one signing releases with *
out notifying the thers.The statutes gave
each of the officers authority to approve
bonds and sign releases , "but there should
bo some systematic plan pursued teat ono
officer may know what the others are doing. "
Judge Sltiiaugh suggested , that the olficcrs
of the police court agree upon some p.an
and then submit It to the Judges of the dis
trict cquiti that they might take eomo action
that would prevent friction and a conflict o ]
authority.
Upon the adjournment of court. Miss Ray.
mend was taken back to the city Jail , bu
later , through Judge Gordon , secured bal
and was released.

'In the suit ot Cordelia W. Harmon
the City of Omaha the supreme court has Jusfc
decided a case Involving the validity ot
paving tax assessment uiilch Is ot consUlora *
bio Importance to the city and property own *
ers , IV number ot suits pending In the dls *
trlct uml rupremo courts have boon axvalU
IOR a decision In the Cordelia W. Harmonf
easy , which holds that a special assessment )
for paving cnmiot bo taxed agntnst real oa
tate where no petition from the property
owners was presented , to tbo council , al
though the owners know at the tlmo ot th
laying ot the pavement In front ot their
premlExM , but did not seek to rcstmlo < ho
city from > lho collection of the tax ucrtlt
after the Improvement waa finished and1 the
assessment WAS levied by the council. Tha
capo was brought In boialt ot the property )
owners by Allotncy Charles S. Klgulter nndi
was contested In > .hu district court for tha
city by City Attorney Cornell.
The history ofUio case , which ha a been
followed by attorneys Interested in city Htl-
gallon , dctfcn back to 1S92 , when the cltyi
council pacaeil an ordinance ordering tha
curbing and inving ot Nli.th street from la-
elfio street to the alley Abutting the tlurllng-
tm depot grounds. About a year nf..orwardl .
the street was curbed uiid paved with Colorado
rado sandstone under contract made with tiio >
iiourd of 1'ubllc Works and soon afterward )
the ccuncll levied the cost ot the work upon
the abutting propel ty. Tilie docket of the >
district court bhows that the cult Ao onjolu.
and restrain the city from collecting the aa-
sciumcnt agakist the property tenolHted andl
to declare the 'tax ' void was begun turly in
1894 and tried before Judge Koysor In Octo
ber , in willed the court granted a perpetual
InjutcUou against the cl'y.
PETITION IS NKCEGSAUY.
The properly owners relied upon the char
ter of 'the ' city ot Omaha , which provides
that before u street Improvement can be laid !
a petition ot the property owners must be/
prcycntud to the city council. The city main
tained that uAthougli no petition was pre
sented as required by tile charter , the prop
erty o\\ncra had waived tlvL ? formality , aa
they could not sit by cod see 'the paving
going on and after the street was Improved
restrain Hie cly from collcctlui ; the cost.
But the district court laid that the petition
ot the property owners waa a Jurlsdlctlcaal re
quirement in order to give the city y au
thority to lay a paving at the cost ot tbo
abutting property and luat > lho owners wcro
not estopped by reason cf their knowledge
of the work from asking the aid of the courts *
after the pavement \\aa laid.
Tlho city promptly appealed the suit to the >
oupromo court by rcasc ot the Importance *
ot the issue and to obtain a. decision , ot th
highest court.
The well known ( Beatrice and Dirklvluaerr
cases , In which the supreme court hold Jhats
a petition of the property owners wns neces
sary to confer jurisdiction on the city coun
cil , did not involve the question of estoppel *
as In those caws tiio property owners en/
JolncJ the pavhig bcforo the Improvement *
were started. The qustlons in the 'Harmon
case wcro fully and carefully discussed to > '
the supreme court by tAssletant City Attor
ney Cornish and by ( Attorney Elguttcr la
cluibcrato briefs , but the decision of < ha
higher court ftao sustained the ruling ot tha
court below and the city has Qiad another
costly lesson of city authorities assuming ;
4ho right to make expensive street Improve
