Lint night's meeting of the city council
was homowhat out of the ordinary and fur-
niched morn excitement to members and
spectators than umial. The members lis
tened alternately to roasts of each other by
their colleagues and caustic messages from
the mayor.
The council refused to pass a resolution
Introduced by LoTieck , to the effect that all
omployefe of the city , on the streets an
well as In the city hall , tie filvcn a half
holiday on Saturday nnd that the half day's
work bo counted a full day on the payroll ,
until September 1 The Introducer of this
nicainiro said that It was simply In line
with the early closing movement nnd wai
no more than right during the hot weather
Vercor and Stunt were opposed to It , both
on the grounds that the day laborers In
the employ of the city being paid for
an eight-hour day wore treated fairly with
out a half holiday. They said there was
DO comparison between the clerks In the
"wholesale " houses and the city laborers , as
the foimor wore often required towork at
night when occasion demanded.
Blnghnm brought up the point that the
money at the command of the Board of
Public Works for purposes of street Improve
ments was limited and that the efficiency
of the department would ho seriously crippled
by the adoption of the resolution. He thought
It was simply a question of money and that
the resolution should go to the finance com
mittee.
I oliock stood up for his resolution , though
ho wan charged by several members , but
ehlcfly by Stuht , with having political ends
In view. The resolution was referred.
Xu Money to Cut Word * .
The following communication from the
mayor was read and referred to the finance
committee :
To the HonoraWe. the City Council of the
City of Omaha Gentlemen : I have re
ceived a number of protests , both by letter
and by 'phono , against the condition of
Thirty-eighth avenue , from Farnam street
north. I am Informed that the weeds along
this street have grown very rank nnd talf
by reason of the wet weather prevailing
throughout the spring and early summer.
1'iopcrty owners say that the present con
dition of the street is very unsanitary , and
that It IB a menace to the public health to
allow It to icmalu longer In this condition ,
and that the weeds should be cut at once ,
and dried and burned. Property owners also
nay that suspicious-looking characters have
been seen hiding In the weeds In that
locality.
The Hamo condition of affairs exists on all
the streets of the city. Weeds have grown
BO rankly that on some streets they stand
an high as a man's head. The ponce inform
me that two or three suspects whom they
were on the point of arresting have escaped
from them by dashing Into the high weeds
along the stieets. The Health department
states that the present condition Is liable to
bring on malaria throughout the city. I do
not report these facts to you with the Idea
that jou can remedy them , because the ab
surdly low levy passed by a majority of the
council last February Is practically ex
hausted , and there Is no money to pay for
doing the little work on the streets which
would be required to keep them In decent
condition. My reason for calling It to your
iMonltnn la th.it uhnn thn low Is 111 ide
February you \\lll bo Impressed with
the fact that there are jrmny.pooplo In the
city v\ho have a right to be considered who
will not be found nt the Bo-callcd tax
payers' meeting : , protesting ngalnst the mak
ing of a reasonable levy. Respectfully ,
THANK E. MOORKS. Mayor.
I obcck introduced a resolution touchlnR
viaduct matters. After reciting the cir
cumstances as to the various proposals ex
changed by the lallroads and the city and
calling attention to tlio promise of the
roads to hold the city harmless from dam
ages In case Seventeenth street wcro closed ,
it read as follows-

Ixibcck ald he had Intended to sk the
council to vote on the resolution at once ,
but since there wan ono member ( Bethel )
absent the vote had better bo deferred. The
resolution was therefore referred.
Councilman Karr told a tale of woe to the
effect that the allotment for street repairs
In his ward had been used up and now ft
water box WTJS needed on one of his streets.
Ho said his ward wns three times the size
of some others , but had been allowed only
the regular 11,000 allotment. He wanted the
water box paid for out of the general fund.
There was some objection to thli , whereupon
Iiobeck offered to pay for It from the Fifth
ward allotment. Karr accepted thli offer
and promised to return tbo money when
able.
Stnlit Tlirentnm Dentrnctloii.
H was over a resolution by Karr , orderIng -
Ing a minor etrcet Improvement paid out of
his exhausted allotment , that Stuht threat
ened Karr with personal violence and turned
on him so fiercely that spectators thought
ho wan about to resort to blows. Stuht ob
jected to a resolution to pay for some street
Improvement out of Karr's exhausted allot
ment and President Blngham ruled the reso
lution out of order. Karr then asked that
the resolution be referred bnck to himself.
Suddenly Stuht Jumped to his feet , shook
his fist In Knrr's face and shouted that no
man could swear at him , that If he did there
would bo a man loss In the world.
President Blngham told Stuht to sit down
nnd como to order , which ho gradually did.
Karr then said ho had simply asked that
the resolution bo referred and had said noth
ing else. Ho protested against the attacks
which ha said Stuht made upon every mem
ber who took the floor to say anything.
There were no further hostilities , but the
smell of powder lasted throughout the even
ing.

The clerk read a postal card which Pres
ident Blngham had received. It criticised
City engineer Rosewater for not having
sidewalks on Franklin street repaired and
was signed "Resident of Franklin Street. "
The city engineer , commenting upon the
cowardice of the writer In not signing his
name , explained that for the purpose of
repairing sidewalks ho had divided the city
In square-mile sections. Sixteen of these
had already been gone over , taking In Frank-
lln street as far as Thirty-second street.
Woat of that point ho was aware the side
walks were In bad shape. The provisions
for repairing eldowalka had not been mndo
until recently and the work 'was being
pushed as rapidly as possible , but It would
take six weeks or two months longer to get
over the whole city.

WELCOME FOR TDORSTONS
Idea of a Regimental Exception Abandoned
bj the Committee ,
EACH TOWN TO RECEIVE ITS OWN COMPANY
Sentiment of People nt LIH-RC Thnnnlit
to HP Unfnvornlitp to the Omnlin
1'Inn l > ocnl Movement
Mnrlcd.
The committee in charge of the reception
to the First regiment decided At Its moating
Tuesday afternoco to abandon the plan of
holding a demonstration in the name of
the state and for the entire regiment , nnd
to leave to each tonn the task of entertain
ing Itn own company. This declfllon was
reached only after careful consideration of
nil the facts at the command of the com-
mlttco and a full discussion of the probable
course of events. The committee drew up
a brief statement of Its action , which will
bo sent to all those throughout the stnto
who have signified their willingness to as-
slat In the movement. The statement was
signed by a member from each city repre
sented at the meeting. It read as follows :
The general committee in whoso hands
was placed the reception on the part of
the state of Nebraska to the returning mem
bers of the First Nebraska volunteers ,
bringing the regiment direct to the city of
Omaha by special train from San Francisco ,
deems It best , and has BO decided , to aban
don the project , feeling It to be the general
sentiment of the people of the stnto that
each town or city would prefer to enter
tain Us own company.
J. H. CULVER. Mllford ,
CHAIILES H. SLOCUM , Genoa ,
JAMES D. GAGE. Franklin ,
T. S. CLAUKSON , Omaha.
The main consideration leading the com
mittee to the above decision was the receipt
of two letters Indicating the light In which
many people of the outside towns have re
garded the movement since Its beginning.
These letters stated that before any requests
for funds would bear fruit In those sections
of the state the people would have to bo In
formed as to the Intended place In Omaha
of holding the reception and how many days
the members of the regiment would bo ex
pected to stay In this city. Both letters asked
If It were true , as many people supposed ,
that the reception was to be held In the In
terest of the exposition.
The members of the committee deplored
the fact that the spirit of the undertaking
had been so misunderstood. Captain Culver ,
as a member from outside the city of Omaha ,
stated that he was flrmFy convinced tbe
scheme had been projected In pure , disin
terested regard for the regiment and In no
way from mercenary motives. The facts
that the regiment was to be held In Omaha
only one day and that the stores were to
be closed the entire day , he thought , were
enough to prove the truth of his opinion.
As a member of the committee ho know
that every effort had been made to keep the
welcome and all plans for It entirely discon
nected from the exposition and It was unfor
tunate that an Incorrect Impression of the
Intentions of the committee In this regard
prevailed.
Charles H. Sloane of Geneva held the same
opinion. He said the people of his section
of the state had felt very friendly to the
work of the Omaha committee and he re
gretted that the state welcome would have
to be abandoned.
I.ociU DcraonMrntlon.
The Omaha members of the committee
concluded to hold together and form a com
mittee to arrange for the focal demonstration
for Company L. Plans for the entertainment
of the company , not only after Us nrrUnl In
Omaha , but also en route east from , the coast ,
were Informally discussed. It was decided
that an effort should be made to obtain from
the railroads a reduced faro for the returnIng -
Ing soldiers. Cadet Taylor said the Thurston
Rifles association had had some correspond
ence with the company In regard to Its plans
after reaching San Francisco. At last ac
counts these Included a trip to Portland and
visits to several points of Interest In the
west.
The following persons were appointed to
the new finance committee , of which W. W.
limited was made chairman :
J. E , Baum , Samuel Gamble , C. M. Wll-
herm. J. H. Mlllard , Z. T. Lindsay , C. F.
Weller , E. C. Price and R. C. Howe of South
Omaha , C. S. Hayward , W. W. Btngham ,
Charles C. Belden , Thomas A. Fry , Cadet
Taylor , Major T. S. Clarkson , A. Hospo , jr. ,

E. Rosewater , Thomas Kllpatrlck , G. M.
Hitchcock , Charles M. PIckcns , Captain H.
A. Palmer , Euclid Martin , J. H. Dumont ,
Fred Paffenrath.
The committee Is of the opinion that the
change In plans whereby only one company
will have to be bandied Instead of an entire
regiment will greatly simplify the task of
securing subscriptions up to the desired
amount and that the members of tbe finance
committee win have to gl\e but a few hours
each day for the first few da > s to the work.
LITTLE GIRL BADLY BEATEN

Tln-lr Chilli.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stromor , living on
Tranklln street between Twenty-ninth nnd
Thirtieth , were arrested Tuesday night on
a warrant charging them v\lth cruelty to
Elllo , Mr. Stromer's 0-year-old daughter ,
The warrant was sworn out by a neighbor ,
John H. Williams , at tbo instance of tbo
Humane society.
Mrs. Stromer Is the child's step-mother.
She Is alleged to have beaten the llttlo
girl with a broomstick , leaving black and
blue marks nil over her body. The child
applied to neighbors for shelter , begging to
be taken In and offering to work for her
board. Saturday night little Elllo was
brought to the police station , where she
was examined by Mrs. Ryan , the matron ,
for marks of violence. There were black
and blue bruises on her head and limbs , but
Mrs. Stromer accounted for them by saying
the child fell on a hard walk. The fact
of the llttlo girl's having asked the neigh
bors to protect her was explained by the
statement that Rllle Is a little "queer" at
times and does unaccountable things. The
parents -were released on $100 bonds to ap
pear In court today at 10 o'clock.

A delegation representing the property
owners of the Sovonlh ward made an effect-
he protest before three members of the
Advisory board ngtlnst the removal of the
pest house In I'ontanellc park to the county
poor farm grounds At their solicitation the
board , or as muih of It as was present ,
piomlscd to suspend the removal of the
hospital pending nn Inspection of other sites
suggested by the protcdtants.
Yesterday the delegation appeared be
fore the mayor and stated the object of the
call. The mayor consented to hear them
at once , but suggested that other members
of the advisory boird should also be pres
ent , and they -were accordingly Bent for
Comptroller Wcstberg and Health Commis
sioner Spaldlng were the only ones who
could bo found ,
C. A. Baldwin asked the mayor and mem
bers of the board to consider the feelings of
the men -who had spent their lives In build
ing homes for themselves In that portion
of the city. The locitlon of the pest house
In their Immediate vicinity , ho said , might
not harm them greatly , and the actual
danger might not bo so gre-U , but never
theless they would consider thtniBclvcs
damaged wcro It placed where the board
proposed to put It. Ctnter street was the
most popular street In the city , and In
cluding Its connections with county roads ,
wan paved a greater distance Into the coun
try than any other. Therefore thousands of
farmers used It every week and It was a
favorite drho for the people of Omaha.
He and his colleagues of the delegation , he
asserted , were not opposed to a pest house.
They were In favor of one and realized that
the city must have ono , but they wore uu
alterably opposed to Its location In the
heart of the residence portion of the city.
Mayor Moores pointed out that there
would bo objections from property-owners ,
no matter where the hospital were located ,
and asked what the city was to do. Ho did
not believe the location of the pest house
a part of the duties of the advisory board ,
but the board had been forced to assume It
by a cowardly council , afraid to take up
lie proper responsibilities. The council had
further tied the hands of the city adminis
tration In this and nil other matters by
foolishly making an entirely Inadequate
levy.
levy.Mr.
Mr. Baldwin asked If the county commls-
loncrs had ever consented to the location of
he pest house there. Major Moores replied
hat they had. lately. Mr. Bardwln then
cclared that the commissioners were wholly
without power to grant such permission , or
put the grounds to any other use , but that
or which they had been Intended. If they
attempted to do so they would bo enjoined.
Captain Palmer advocated the location of
ho emergency hospital or pest house on a
ract of land east and slightly north of the
city , by the river. He admitted that the
'Wlnspear triangle" was a totally unfit
ilace , but mantalncd against the objections
of Doctor Spaldlng that the tract ho had
n mind was an Ideal place. It had never
> een overflowed by the river , he said , within
the memory of man , was covered by
magnificent trees and had a beautiful outfook
over the river. He claimed that It was not
open to the objection that the. air would be
filled with fine sand , to the fatal Injury of
all smallpox patients , as T > r. Spaldlng
claimed.
The discussion that followed , over the
comparative merits of the various locations
and the methods of conducting emergency
lospltals In large cities , was animated and at
Imes becam * heated. Mr. Ambler , chairman
of the delegation , made a particularly
violent attack on the advisory board and
vociferated the statement that the pest house
would never bo located at the poor farm.
Then the meeting became calmer , and
Comptroller Weathers drove the entering
wedge for a temporary settlement of the
: roublo by agreeing , as one member of the
joard , to visit the location suggested by
Captain Palmer and examine Its merits care
fully. Mayor Moores then made the offer
that the board would go In a body to the
Mace and look It over , meanwhile suspend
ing the steps toward the removal of the
hospital from FontaneHe park. This offer
was greeted with applause and was cheer
fully accepted by the delegation. This aft
ernoon was set as the time for the official
trip.

The residents of the Seventh ward have
stationed a man near Fontanellc park , so It
is claimed , to see that no sudden action Is
taken while they are asleep or otherwise en
gaged. Yesterday , however , they ex
pressed full confidence In the promise of the
mayor and board.
