Somewhat over a score of stockmen from
various polnU ) In Nebraska assembled at
the Dellono hotel yesterday nttornoon for the
puriwso of forming au association to promote
their common Interests. W. H. Thurber of
Ong , Neb , appeared as the leader of the
Btockmen , and It was In response to Invi
tations sent by him that the stockmen met.
The meeting convened nt 3 o'clock and
nt once took up the \arlous grievances the
stockmen of the state feel that they have
ngalnst the rallroids and the stock yarda
companies. Poor train service , slow tlmo
the refusal of some of the railroads to carry
the cabooses within a mlle of the point for
which the stock are bound and unsatisfac
tory agreements with the stock yards com
panies , were the principal subjects dls-
cursed by those present.
It was ngrced that an association of all
the stockmen In the state and the- proper
presentation of the stoekmcn'e grievances
through an executive committee would co
much toward Improving the conditions under
vhirh the stockmen work. As an Instance
of the iKiwer of some agitation regarding
Inferior train service , one rtockman stated
tint within the last thirty dayr , since stepa
lo king toward theJ formation of the associa
tion were tikcn , the train service for llvo
htock on the II & M. railroad had been bet
ter than during any previous pcrlol within
the la-t flvo years.
OITICI3RS CHOSnX.
After some dlaeiifMnn It was decided to

torlitlMi of Nebraska W. R. Thurber of

At theattcrnoon meeting there was configurable
figurabledisuisslon as to the work to bu
accomplished by the association. H was
agreed that It wsuld be bnt net to have th
Imoronro go forth that the association was
cigar lel for the nurposo of fighting the rall-
rccd cuntianlcs or the stock yards' com
panies , though It was made t aomlnent In
all the discussion that the stockmen of Ne
braska were to Nuid together for mutual
protc lion especially against the corpoia-
tlons named
Said oni > prominent shipper who was yrea-
cnt "Whllo I do not believe that we t'aould
start out with the idea of fighting the rail-
raids or the stock yards' companies , 1 ( In
think that wo iiMy gJln Tot the stoekmen
of this state a great deal by sticking to
gether As , a rule , the shippers on the miln
lines have lut little connlaint to make re-
girllng tonr train service , but their follow
hlili , pi r'K on the branch lines do suffer
greatly Tile tall road managers turn a de-it
ear to the complaints of the men on the
biamh lltics , or else the complaints will go

all resolve to .stand together I bcllevo the
slil.icrs | ( en the branch lines , as well ns
those on th" main Hoes , can get the better

OTIII3RS MORE AGGRESSIVE.
Oilier shippers weio In favor of moro ng-
gresslvo measures , and one even ( suggested
cany Ing the light for Improved train oer-
-licu Into the legislature. Ho said' "Thero
Is no doubt but that wo shall get better
train service , and perhaps better rates. Let
this ahsaclatlon appoint an executive com-
mittco to represent the shippers before the
railroads. Tlin railroads will not listen to
one stockman nor to two , but they will
to a committee leprcsentlng all the stoek
men of Nebraska. If the railroads will
not hear such a committee , why , then , we'll
carry the matter Into politics and elect a
logls'aturo ' that will make- the railroads
listen to the complaints of the stockmen
Wo'io not In this business for our health ,

The evmlng session was devoted entirely
to the ronbldeiatlon of the report of the
commltteo that wcs appointed at the after
noon session to draft a constitution and by

At the outset of the consideration of the
articles to govern the iiuvv association a
vigorous discussion took place over the ques
tion of whether llvo stock feeders -should bo
li.cluded In the membership of the associa
tion Although the committee on constitu
tion ami by-laws hail taken the alllrmatlvn
on this mooted point , the majority of the
charter members appeared to think that the
feeders should not bo Included , and It H
likely that they will not be.
COMMITTEE'S REPORT OUTLINED.
Though the constitution and by-laws were
not finally adopted a review of the commlt-
teo's partial report , which will undoubtedly
ba adopted at the next meeting , discloses

Tlit ? fuliim Sonrc.
Although the diplomatic entanglement with
Spain over Cuba Is to some extent Influenc
ing the stock market , Wall street expects
no seriouscomplications. . Nevertheless
rcrloua complications with other maladies
may bo expected to follow 'an attack of bil
iousness which Is not checked at the outset.
The most effectual means to this end Is
Hosteller's Slomsch Hitters , an admirable
remedy , moreover , for dyspepsia , malaria ,
kidney trouble , conpllpatlon and nervousness.

AMUSEMENTS.
That "I'udd'nhead Wllsen" Is not forgot
ten , oud that memories of Frank Mayo stll
linger In Omaha , cppearcd last night from
the geol sized audience which heard Edwin
Mayo essay the role which his dead father
created. In one sense , the lovable old lawyc-
of Dawson's Landing ceased to be w'aen the
elder Mayo passed way ; for his well remem
bered itrtiereonation of the character stands
near oerfectlcn , and all others are measured
by It This latest eh iracteri7atic.il , however
stands tl o comparison better than thai o :
Mr. Hamilton , which was seen here last year
It Is by no means so finished a work o
original art , but It Is a very clever Imitation
of the vart as It was first presented twc
season's ago , and hence brings pleasant re
minders of a masterpiece of Its kind. The
physical resemblance of the son to the fathei
Is extraordinary , cftieclally when Pudd'nhcai
makcii his first entrance at the beginning ol
the pl < iy ( ircncr , cue would swear It Is Frank
Maya's self ; and most of the famlllir "busi
ness" and even the Inflections of the volr-c
have been preserved. Young Mr. Mayo is
suffering at present flom a severe cold , which
amounts almost to total lens of voice , w'aere-
l > y his performance necessarily suffers also
but enough of good yet remains to confirm
Iho belief that HIP play and the character
are still In worthy hands. Tlio two mem

original roles Mls-j Frances Grali'imo Mayo

Adjourn.
The cltj < council mot In AiljourneJ session
last night to discuss the 1S9S ta\ Io\y anO
tlio aspect of the council chamber Indicated
that the citizens of Omaha were cither ab
solutely Indifferent or poracsued of un
bounded confidence In their representatives.
When the gnvcl fell there vvaa not n single
spectator In the lobby and Me space Inside
the rail -was tenanted solely by city or
school district officials and employe * The
annual levy ordinance went through the
form of a first and second reading and then
1'resldcnt Ulngham announced that the coun
cil w < is read } to hear suggestions.
President Tilkcy of the Hoard of Park Com-
mlssloncre presented Its claims first and pref
aced his remarks by n detailed statement ol
the manner Inhlch the funds of 1S97 had
been expended. Ho estimated that It would
cost $28,000 to keep the parks In condition
this > ear. Last year It had been understood
that $30,000 would be devoted to exposition
purposes. Only $22,000 had been expended
In that direction , ana It was desirable that
the 1/alanco should bo made up from the
1S9S lc\y. Ho therefore Insisted that ? 30,000 ,
the full amount allowed by the charter , WEI !
the least that should ( bo appropriated.
The claims of the public library board
wcro presented iby Mr. Heed , whose estt-
imto called for $24,330. Ho declared that
during the last eight years the boaid had
been crippled by lack of funds. A real ct >
tate purchase in 1S91 had been charged to
the regular fund and this had madu It im-
possibles to purchase as manv bookra as were
desliablo to keep the Institution up to date
The building was also In need of &ome
painting and other itpnlrs thN year.
uni'AimtnNT or runuc WOKKS.
In reference to the Hoard of Public Works
dcpaitmcnt City nnglncor Kosewater sal *
that It was absolutely neccwwiry to levy the
limit of tJ3,000 for sewer maintaining and
$10,000 for street cleaning Ho. emphasized
the necessity for cxtcnshe repairs of the
sewer 8 } stem , which was rapidly approachIng -
Ing a dangerous condition. He said that a
collareo vvara likely to occur tint would bo
moro serious than that of a viaduct. If the
Jones street sewer should fill In , for In-
stince. It wouKl shut off the 8c\\orage o !
half of the city and scores of the big btiilCN
Ings in tlio buslnctij district might ! io under
mined No one could antlclpito the disas
ters that might occur If these repairs were
not made at once.
In legard to street sleeping Mr. Ho c-
watcr declared that the blue 'barrel ' system
was the meet expensive that had e\cr beer
used In this city He suggested that street
sw roping machinery of the most Improves
pattern should ibo purchased and the ham
sweeping limited to the 'business district
He declared that the cost of the machinery
could ibo saved In a single joar.
Mr Hosenater al'o urged that the cost of
Dtreot repairs should bo taxed against the
abutting property If this wai ? done the levy
for tlio imlng , curbing and guttering fum
could bo reduced $10.000.
NCRDS OP ! in\ITH DRPAHTSinNT.
On behalf of the lieilth department Com
missioner Spaldlng said that the fixed
charges of the department would exceed the
limit of $10,000 The expenditures under the
prcbent system would bo nearly $13,000 In
1S9S In his opinion the only way to main
tain the department at any satisfactory de-
grco of efficiency VMS to relle\e the health
fund from some of the charges that did not
propcrlv belong to It , mi eh as the silary
of the city \eterinarlan and the dead animal
illl Is. It was also essential that nn nmbu-
lance should bo prov liled There had been
tovcral emergency cases In which ho 'be '
lieved that the death cf the patients was
duo to the lack of such a vehicle , and it was
Inhuman to RO without it any loigcr.
The requirements of the lire and police
departments were submitted by Commis
sioner Dullard , who contended for the limit
lit each case The flro department had cost
$112CSS in 1S17 and a new aerial truck and
a quantity of hose were necessary. T ven
the full levy of $123,000 would not IIP suffi
cient to take up the deficiency of 1S97 and
inn the department through the \ear.
The police department had cost $87,000 In
IS97 and It was estimated tint an extra
expenditure amounting to $30,000 would bo
required to police the city during the ex
position.
Dulldlng Inspector nutler suggested that
If the council would pass the now plumbing
ordinance his dcpaitmcnt would support It
self without assistance.
SCHOOL LEVY.
The council then took up the school levy
The Boird of education was present In
force , with its officials , , and J. K. llurgess
submitted the formal demand for $455,000
110 quoted the various Items of expendi
ture as pre\Iously published and Insisted
that the estimate could not bo reduced In
any particular Ho emphasized the fact
that the school population had shown a de
cided Increase and stated that the consolida
tion of classes had been carried as far as
v\ns possible or advisable ,
Shoit speeches along the same/ line were
made by President Jordan and Members
Pcnfold , Johnson Thomas and Iroy. They
called Chpcclal attention to the ovcs-
crowded condition of the Lake and other
oehocls where there were many rooms In
which there were from four to a dozen more
pupils than there wcro desks
Councilman Stuht was not cntliely In
touch with the modern system of education
Ho declared that the elty was spending
altogether too much money In keeping pupils
In school until they were of age. Ho Bald
that ho had left school when ho was 12
years old and asserted Ma belief that if
all the children were taken out of nchool
at IB and set to work ahoy would make bet
ter men and women.
President Jordan turned the argument on
Stuht by luklng him why. If those were his
sentiments , ho had sent his son to college ,
and Secretary Olllnn made an effective
argument ngalnst ill-ndvlhcd economy In
school matters Ho cited the conditions lint
other largo cities were row compelled to
meet because they had neglected to provide
adequate accommodations for the schoo's
and urged that Omaha should not allow a
111 licit to pllo up until It became a sorloui
uurdon. .
PRAUSR IIR MID rilOM.
Superintendent I'earso said that the
l > oard would Invite the closest scrutiny of
the administration of the affairs of the
schools. The trouble was that the majority
of people did not reali/o the magnitude of
the school system of Omaha Ho also ex
plained tome of the details of expenditure
md gaui some additional Information In rc-
mnl to the Increase In school attendance

Comptroller Wcstuerg and Treasure
Edwards arc having an examination made o
ttie treasurer's boolts lor the purpose o
locating a lot of tax receipts In regard to
which the books of the two offices do no
agree. Tlio trouble U the result of th
old system of receipting taxes , which wa
about as unbusinesslike a proceeding A
could bo Imagined. It was the practice fo
years to enter taxes on the books as paU
as sooil as the receipt was called for ana
Issued by the clerks. In many cases the
taxpayer simply had the receipt made ou
nnd then neglected to pay the taxes ana
the taxes stand on the books as pild to thl
day One man has been working on the
matter for two days. Ills first diy's work
covered the first 245 pages of book A o
1890 , or n period of two or three months. I
resulted In the discovery of about twenty
of these cases In which the Hems rangci
from $10 to $249 10 A few cases wore also
discovered In which taxes that were markei
as paid on the comptroller's books had ncxcr
been checked ort on the bcoKs of the
treasurer
Comptroller Westberg Is of the oponlon
that the losses on uccount of th's sort o
bookkeeping w'ill amount to considerable
In this ho differs from the treasurer , who
believes that It will amount to very little
Deputy Treasurer Saundcrs says that while
the practice of marking taxes paid before
the cash was received was In vogue under
former administrations It was discontinued
by Treasurer Rdwards Immediately after hi.
came Into the office. Now the jecelpt la
not entered en the books until after the
money has been paid anil the receipt has
been marked "paid" by the deputy treasurer
The Investigation now In progress is ex
pected to show exactly how the matter
stands so that the books may bo corrected
In each office.

The Advisory Hoard had another round
with the garbage contractor ycsten'.iy aft
ernoon and It will apparently require at
least another one to dispose of the case. The
evidence produced yesterday was along the
same 1'ne ' as that of the day before and At
torney Dunn has no\v piled up quite n re
spectable show Ing of violations of the city
ordinances by the contractor. Sam Rrnest ,
who lives at Twenty -seventh and Wirt
streets , swore yestciday that he was
awakened just after midnight on the night
of January 1C by hearing a heavy wagon
drive up to the manhole In front of hh res
idence. He saw the lood of night soil dumpci
Into the sewer and fifteen minutes another
wagcn camt up and also deposited Ita con
tents Into the sewer The witness was very
positive In his statements , but would not
say directly that the wagons belonged to
MacDonald Ho raid they were ordinary
covered garbage wagons and that a portion
of the odorous contents remained scatterei
arounul the manhole the next morning
A number of former employes of MncDon-
ald were put on the stand to testify In le
gard to violations of the ordinances. Ono
of the cases brought out was the dumping
of a lot of night soil just noith of Dodqo
street and east of the Helt Line. This was
taken from cesspools at Forty -seventh am
rarnam streets and one ncn swore he saw
thlity loads dumped there In one night.

City Engineer Itosevvnter has discovered
