* lliinepr from Smallpox.
A communication was received from City
Physician-Spalding relative to danger from
smallpox. Dr. Spaldjng stated that an epi
demic of the disease Is prevalent In Iowa
nt several points , none of which nro far
from Omaha. Ono Infected place , the phy
sician added , Is In a graders' camp where
It will be difficult to maintain a quarantine.
The funds of the Health department were
said to bo entirely exhausted and If a case
should occur In this city there are no means
for taking care of It. Dr. Spalding urged
that some Immediate provision be mado.
The subject was referred to the advisory
board. The public property and buildings
committee , to which had been referred the
emcrgc'icy hospital question , reported that
In Ita opinion , the responsibility should rest
with the advisory board , and such refer
ence waa ordered.
Hill AKiiliiNt nnllroailx.
The council directed the comptroller to
wait upon the Union Pacific and B. & M.
railroad with n iblll for $20,000 , which the
roads had agreed to pay toward the repair
of viaducts. Comptroller Westberg reported
that ho had previously tried to collect the
amount , but had been put off on some pre
text. The council understood , however , that
the sum would be forthcoming now that the
Sixteenth viaduct matter has been disposed
of in the courts. Mayor Moores , now re
leased from the temporary Injunction , re
turned with hIS approval the order provid
ing for a contract between the city and vari
ous railroad companies relative to viaducts
and subwayd. The Wrought Iron Bridge
icpmpany-Khlch , , 'hi"1.tbo " . .contract for the
demolition of tho" Sixteenth street viaduct ,
pointed out In n communication that the
tlmo had elapsed for the filing of damage
claims and asked that Its bond bo returned.
The matter was referred to the city attor
ney.
Vetoed Arc Snntiiliieil.
The mayor's veto of the Thirty-second
street sewer repeal ordinance was sustained.
There were a number ot modern houses on
the proposed route which the council be
lieved should bo supplied with proper drainage -
ago facilities. Similar nctlcn was taken on
the veto of the resolution providing for a
typewrltlst to transcribe a record of voters'
political affiliations. The mayor gave as a
reason , the exhaustion of the general fund
against which the proposed appropriation
was drawn.
Tax Commissioner Sackett presented ft
claim from Herman Schaeffcr for the recov
ery of $195.28 taxes paid under protest for
grading In Walnut hill. Tbo ordinance has
ulnco been declared unconstitutional and the
commissioner , In an appended opinion , said
thnt there was certainly justice In the claim ,
but that It was similar to many others
which had not been allowed by the council.
The controversy wns referred to the coon-
mltteo on finance and claims. The same
committee was also directed to consider the
protect of F. P. Klrkendall & Co. against
an Increased assessment. The firm com
plained that after an agreement had been
reached for a valuation of $35,000 on Its
personal property the amount had been
raised $5,000.
The estimate of Hnmlll & Co. of $5,560.70
for repairs to sidewalk * * and of Treasurer
Edwards , for Inspection fees , were approved.
The council will hold a special meeting
Frjdny night to consider reports on the
storage of explosives and on city owner
ship of waterworks. The first biibject Is In
the hands of the chlefn of the fire nnd
police departments , the plumbing nnd build
ing Inspectors and the city electrician. The
city attorney will bo heard on the latter
proposition.

The suggestion made a day or two ago to
reorganize the public library board Is meet
ing with favorable consideration In many
quarters and It Is possible that a meeting
for this purpose will be held before the week
la out. It Is stated that the old library
board had no legal existence , being merely
organized by a few public spirited citizens
In 1S92. Articles ot Incorporation were
never filed , those Interested merely getting
together and selecting flvo directors to manage -
ago the affairs ot the Institution. Ot the
flvo directors last elected only two reside
hero now , and their terms have expired. In
connection with the reorganization ot the
board , Mrs. C. L. Talbot , ono of the former
directors , said yesterday that eho was heart
ily In favor of the project nnd was willing
to render any assistance necessary. Mrs.
Tnlbot favora the calling of a meeting for
some afternoon or evening this week for
the purpose of reorganization. In her opin
ion only those who donated either money
or books to the original organization should
bo permitted to have n volco In the pro
posed reorganization.
During the hard times In 1896 the library
wn obliged to close for want of support ,
and the books were taken to the High
School building to bo stored. Some of these
books are Issued to pupils of the High
school , but It Is asserted that no particular
care Is being taken of them.
Many documents of value have been added
to the library during the last few years , and
some of these are 'being ruined on accounl
of not being properly boxed. It Is supposed
that about 1,000 books are now on hand , but
an Involco may show a shortage.
The proposition to remove the books to
McRoynolds' store upon the reorganization
of the board is being favorably commented
upon by a great many. As it is now , nol
n half dozen grown people draw books dur
ing the course of a month , as many objccl
to calling at the echoolhouso and , besides ,
the superintendent's office is not open in the
evening.
It is argued that If the books are re
moved to McRcynolds' store- the library will
bo well patronized , as the store Is on ono
of the main thoroughfares nnd Is open until
9 or 10 o'clock every evening.
The projectors of the reorganization have
in view the asking of a quarter-mill levy
from the city council next spring. On the
present valuation this would bring Into the
treasury of the library the sum of $900 ,
which would more than pay all expenses.
With euch a sum at Its command the library
board could purchase many new books , be
sides having some of the books now on hand
rebound. Some think that if the library
is removed to a point easily accessible to
the people that donations will be made again
as at the start , so that before long the old
and wornout books would be replaced by
new ones. Without doubt the council cham
ber can bo secured for a meeting any time
those Interested la the reorganization desJro
to hold n meeting.
Depleting Cnttlc .
In connection with the shortage of cattle.
eays the Denver Stockman , many stockmen
are figuring how long It will take to get the
ranges restocked again to where they were
a few years ago. They are figuring entirely
upon the wrong basis. The stock of cattle
on the ranees will never again be what it
was nnd the indications are that It will be
a difficult matter to even maintain the pres
ent supply.
It is hard for the people to realize the
great revolution that Is taking place. The
grazing has been so damaged by overcrowd
ing that the number of cattle formerly sup
ported could not find a living there today.
Then the farmer and his fences have en
croached further and further , until at pres
ent there Is a wild scrnmblo to acquire the
public lands In every way possible. But the
west is not going out of the cattle business ;
In fact It Is Just getting in , nnd getting
in right. A few years from now there will
bo more cattle than ever on the western
plains , but instead of running at will with
a brand on the hide to denote ownership , the
great majority will bo in small bunches in
enclosed pastures. They will be better bred ,
better fed and better cared for. Winter
losses will bo almost unknown and the sup
ply will be regulated according to the de
mand. The depletion of the ranges is not
duo alone to the shortage of cattle but to
the high prices that have enabled those in
the business to get out whole from what
promised to be a losing business in the fu
ture. Most of them are getting back into the
business , but on the now plan well bred
cattle , enclosed pastures and plenty of hay
for winter feeding.
Heavy Foeiler Shipment * .
During the week ending November 10 ,
there were 379 cars , numbering 11,221 head
of feeder cattle , shipped from this market
to the country. Of the total number , 6.43J
head went to Nebraska , while 4,405 head
went Into Iowa feed lots. No shipments were
made to Kansas points , but 286 head were
sent to Missouri , 21 head to Illinois and 78
head to South Dakota. As a feeder market
South Omaha has forged way to the head
this fall. Prices ruled high as long ns good
grades were being shipped to market , but
have fallen off recently on account of the
desirable grades having been marketed , poor
fatuff being shipped Instead.

At a Joint meeting of the Peter Cooper club
and the populist county central committee
Tuesday evening considerable tlmo was devoted -
voted to n settlement of the question whether
or not reporters should bo allowed to remain ,
the result of which was that the ono reporter
present was permitted to witness the travail
of the wrathful ones. John 0. Yclscr. as
chairman of the committee appointed to ec-
cure the appointment of certain populists
by the democratic ofllcora-eloct , submitted
the following :
Whereas , the democrats * elected to the
county oniccs are threatening to make
their appointments In violation of the agree
ments made by the democratic convention
whereby It was agreed that the people's In
dependent party should liavo one-third of
nil appointments.
Resolved , That In case this agreement
bo not literally carried out by saJd officers-
elect , then the people' ? independent pnm
of the county of Douglas nnd the city of
Omaha hereby declare against the policy
of fusion In any future county or citi
election.
Talk IlccliiN.
As soon ns he had read the resolution
Yclser moved that It be amended by adding
n clause excepting Frank A. Broadwell from
Us threatened operations for the reason
that ho had promised to appoint two popu
list men nnd two women out of the twelve
appointments nt his disposal.
Mlko O'Connell opposed the amendment
claiming that he was not In favor ot mak
ing fish of one man and flesh of'another. .
James Jones , who has been selected by
Sheriff-elect Power as his jailer , also op
posed such action , as Impolitic , as It Is likely
to handicap some populists otherwise as
sured of appointment and Incense rather
than frighten democrats.
T. J. Kellogg thought the resolution pro-
mature.
E. F. Morearty did not believe In dis
criminating In favor of Broadwell , who had
refused to appoint him at the recommenda
tion of the populist committee. He said
Broadwell had refused to appoint him be
cause his name indicated that ho waa Irish.
John W. Barnett. who Is slated as ono
of Elsasser's appointees , did not believe In
denouncing those who had already appointed
populists and excepting one who had not yel
made such an appointment.
U. F. Williams , representing the free sli
ver element , gave notice that the free silver
republicans feel about as do the populists
and will meet at 5 p. m. today for the pur
pose of declaring themselves to the same
effect. An Invitation was extended popu
lists to meet by committee with then } .
Elmer E. Thomas wanted the resolution
to pass with the amendment. He told how
the secretary of the democratic state com
mittee and the chairman of the democratic
county committee had vlelted that same
room just prior to the three-cornered con
vention , had bewailed the fact that Tom
Hector had not given the populists fitting
recognition and had promised the populists
one-third of the offices in case of fusion
success , which promises had been ratified
by the democratic convention. The only
way for populists to get tholr rights waste
to resolutely declare against further fusion
unless their promised rights wore regarded.
Yelser spoke vigorously along the same
line. He showed how Elsasser and Power
have arranged to give recognition to the
various nationalities , without recognizing
the populists , and declared that the resolu
tions proposed were slatebreakers.
Jim Jones wanted action deferred till he
got his Job , but the resolution as amended
was adopted.
OppOMC
The following resolution was alee adopted :
Resolved , That If G. Fred Elsasser refuses
to recognize the people's independent party
to the extent of frlvInK one-third of the ap
pointments of his offlce. according to the
promise of hli party , the people's inde
pendent party will oppose his nomination
and election for a second term or for any
other offlce at any other.tlme.
fTho committee thereupon recommended
the following as populist representatives
from whom Broadwell may make his four
selections : 'A. ' J. Williams , Harlan Wright
of Valley , > L. J. Qulnby , F. E. McOuckin ,
Miss Jennlo Smith , Wlss Stella Danehy , Miss
Dora Hauk and iMlss Emma Taylor.
WIELDS A RAZOR WILDLY
Man Full of Hnil Liquor , A Nlx < eil by
a Drunken Coinunnlon , Stirs
Up ThliiBH.
( About 10:30 : Tuesday night True Johnson ,
a colored woman who lives on North Elev
enth street , ran into the police station half
dressed and screaming .at the top of her
voice for protection against two drunken
men whom she said were demolishing her
house.
Officer Sauers was detailed to put a period
to the work of destruction and gave chase
after the men , who were trying to get away
ns fast as 'they ' could. The Johnson woman
ran after them screaming and several neigh
bors also took up the street rapidly In the
direction of the lleeing men.
They were soon caught , but the officer
could not hold both of ithcin , as ono was
slashing right and left with a razor and the
other showed fight. Several bystanders were
Impressed Into service and the belligerents
were finally subdued , but not until the man
witu itlio razor had succeeded In slashing
himself over the right eye.
At the station the men gave the names of
John Connelly nnd James Cody , The former
said ho was from Liverpool , England , and
kept calling for the British consul.
AVhlle Dr. Blerbower was fixing Connelly
up In walked Harry Woods , who lives with
the Johnson woman. Ho was a sorry lookIng -
Ing sight. JIo had on a night shirt , or roither
what had once answered to such a descrip
tion , but all that was left of U waa a
bunch of rags covered with blood. He also
carried his arm gingerly and from a cut below -
low the elbow the blood was dripping.
He said Connelly had left the mark there
with his razor. Woods said ho was In bed
asleep , when he heard a knocking at the
door. The next thing ho heard was some
men trying to force 'their way In against the
will ot True Johnson. lie got up and started
to her assistance , but before ho could get to
the door It seemed as though a cyclone
struck the front end of the house and flying
gloss and rocks illled the air ,
Ho ran out tbo door and grappled with one
man and throw him , but tbo other ono
whipped out a rozor and began to saw the
air with It. In warding off a slash at his
bead ho got the cut on his arm ,
The Johneon woman ead | the men tried
to get In the house and when she refused
them admittance they began to throw rocks.
Both men arrested were much the worse for
liquor and were very ugly.

The confidence with which certain well-
Informed railroad officials In Omaha and
other cities assert that the Burlington Is
unquestionably going to extend Us Hnrtvlllo
( Wyo. ) extension to Ogdcn , Utah , gives credence -
denco to the oft-repeated rumor that the
Burlington Intends to build along the North
Platte river Into Wyoming. In Denver It Is
nescrtod that no attempt Is made to conceal
the Intention of the Burlington ultimately to
build through to Ogdcn , thence to connect
with the Southern Pacific , and have a direct
line from Chicago to the Pacific coast.
Within the past few days this same report
has come to the surface In Chicago , and the
absolute statement Is mndo that the Burling
ton Intends , beyond pcrodventure , to oxend
Us line through to the desirable Ogdcn gate
way.
way.Despite
Despite these statements and the , rumors
which have persistently bobbed up during the
past few months , local officials of the Bur
lington continue to enter n general denial.
It Is reported from an authoritative source
that the Burlington has secured A towuBlto
at a point six miles from Hartvllle , the pres
ent supposed terminus of the northern exten
sion from Bridgeport , where the lines of the
western extension from Alliance will branch
ono going eouth to Brush , Colo. , and the
other northwest to Hartvllle. This townslte ,
It Is presumed , will bo Inld out for division
headquarters , with the Intention of making
It the loading railroad point north of Chey
enne. The alto Is on the Platte river , In a
broad bottom of line soil , about ono and n
half miles below the old town of Fairbanks.
In all probability the Hartvllle extension
will not proceed beyond Bridgeport this win
ter , but active construction will begin early
In the spring. The western end of the line
through to Ogden will then be constructed
with whatever rapidity the exigencies of the
case may demand. New statlone on the line
south from Alliance to Bridgeport already
established ore Leton , Bonner , Angora ,
Northport and Bridgeport , the latter point
being thirty-six miles distant from Alliance.
Stations which will be opened on the Hart-
vlllo extension west from Bridgeport are
Balrd , Mlnatnra , Goring , Sunflower and Col
lins , the latter being eighty-seven miles from
Bridgeport. Ono of the points on this line
Goring Is already a well-established town
In western Nebraska , situated In a well-Irri
gated section. The opening of railroad fa
cilities Is expected to add greatly to Us Im
provement.
Owing to the probability that work on this
new extension will not proceed beyond
Bridgeport this winter , that town Is already
assuming a liveliness which Indicates that it
will witness a decided boom during the next
few months. Hartvllle Is another point at
tracting considerable attention at this time
on the part of boomers who anticipate Its
commercial Importance when the railroad
shall reach there. Some valuable Iron de
posits near Hartvllle arc now being worked ,
furnishing employment to a number of
miners. It Is likely , however , that Hartvllle
will collapse when the Burlington begins the
construction of its Ogden line from there
and locates Us division headquarters at the
point mentioned above.

INSIST ON ADVANCE IN SCALE OF WAGES
General Scerclnrj-Treasurer Conine
Hxpccleil Here from IVHIINMK City
to Try to Adjust the
IllfTurcnccH.
Flfty-ono men In the employ of the Marks
Bros , Saddlery company at 160S Harncy
street went out yesterday on n strike for
higher wages. For some weeks negotiations
have been pending for an Increase In the
schedule ot prices. The men all work by the
piece , according to a complicated schedule
fixed generally upon n dozen pieces. George
Marks , ono of the members of the firm , said
that the scale paid by the firm Is higher on
many of the articles manufactured than
these paid by ninny eastern competitors , but
the striking workmen claim that llaucy
Bros , ot this city , n rival concern , recently
signed n schedule ot wages a little higher
than that which Marks Bros , refused to sign ,
The striking artisans nro members of n
union known as the United Leather Work
ers nnd Horse Goods' union. Three classes
of workmen nro Involved the harness-mak
ers , snddlu-mnkcrs and collar-makers. On
Monday a committee appointed by the union
applied to Marks Bros , nnd endeavored to
secure nn adjustment of the differences. The
schedule was gone over Item by Hem , nnd In
many Instances an advance was conceded
by the manufacturers , while In most In
stances tha old schedule was adhered to.
The union , however , failed to endorse the
action of that committee , claiming that It
had exceeded the authority given It and had
put prices below the schedule , which It hail
been expressly forbidden to do , and ap
pointed a now committee to conduct negotia
tions with the firm. This committee called
upon Marks Bros , this morning and when
the latter refused to sign the schedule as
prepared , except that of the collar-makers ,
nil the harness and saddle-makers were
called out. The collar-makers were allowed
to continue. There are about fifteen of the
latter. The union met during the forenoon
and telegraphed the result of the negotia
tions to the executive council nt Kansas City.
It Is expected that Charles L. Conine , gen
eral secretary-treasurer of the union , will
visit Omaha nt once nnd try to secure nn ad
justment of the differences.
Mnrks Bros , contend that the advance in
wages which the men demand will aggregate
20 per cent , but members of the union say
that they arc asking merely advances of
from 5 to 20 per cent on certain items in the
schedule , being chiefly on articles that enter
most largely Into the work of the factory
and on which the lowest proportionate prices
have been paid. On the aggregate of work
of the factory they say the advance asked
will not exceed 3 per cent.
Marks Bros , express regret that the
trouble has reached the present condition ,
and claim that many ot the workmen who
were called out were satisfied with the
wages they were receiving. They lay the
disaffection at the door of one or two men.
On the other hand , the workmen say that
unless they require Mnrks Bros , to pay
the advanced schedule they must relinquish
the advantage they have secured from Haney
& Co. , in order that all employers may be
treated alike.
Shorter "Work Day for Job 1'rliitern.
Throughout the United States the nlno-
hour day for Job printers was supposed to go
into effect yesterday. A year ago the working
day of this craft was shortened from ten
hours to nine and a half , and yesterday was to
witness the lopping off of another half hour.
The order will not go Into effect In this city
until next Monday , as the Omaha union was
a week late in putting the requirement Into
effect last year. Local job printers do not
express any suspicion that the enforcement
of the nine-hour day will entail any local
trouble , although they do not know just what
the recent reorganization of the local Typo-
jhetae , or employing printers' organization , (
may mean for them.
