Announce 111 (Mill In
the Premises.
According to Danker Wattles of Omaha
thero Is to bo war to the knlfo between tho
old and new motor companies. Mr. Wattles,
who n few days ago secured n controlling
Interest In tho Suburban company, was In
Council Muffs yesterday morning conferring
with Manager Heed. IIo said that he had
been bcrved with notlco by tho old com
pany that it Intended tn mako it hot for
him nnd 'that ho told It that it could not be
gin too soon to suit him and that tho new
company would try to stay with It.
Thero have been reports to tho effect that
property owners on South Sixth Btrect nnd
First uvenuo would apply to the courts for
nn Injunction to restrain tho now company
from laying tracks on thoso residence streets
and Mr. Wattles asserted that tho old com
pany, out of spite, was trying to agitate tho
matter so as to prevent, if possible, Us rival
from completing Its line.
Tho now company will apply to the su
premo court to havo tho bond from tho old
company In tho Injunction Issued yesterday
raised from $1,000. The officers of tho Sub
urban company claim that tho Injunction, If
continued, will damage them to tho extent
of nbout $30,000. They stated further that
their company intended to parallel every
track of tho old company and that it had
been their intention until tho supremo court
Issued tho temporary Injunction to "strnd
dlo" tho old compauy's tracks on Uroadway
and Pearl and Main streets. They say that
as Boon a.vthat had been accomplished tho
trackB on Sixth street nnd First nventio
would havo been taken up.
Tho now company was busy yesterday
completing tho work of putting In tho cross
ings nt Sixth street and Sixteenth avenue,
nnd also had a largo forco of men putting
in tno loop at tho lake. Manager Heed says
he will havo tho' lino in such shape that on
Sunday they will be able to carry the crowds
to tho laKo and will run their trains from
Sixteenth nvenue, connecting at ithat point
wnn tno lino of tho old company.
Another Injunction IinuimI.
On tho petition of tho Omaha & Council
Muffs Hallway nnd Midgo company, Judge
E. E. Aylesworth of tho superior court late
last evening Issued a temporary injunction
restraining tho Omaha, Council Muffs &
Suburban Hallway company from interfer
ing with former's tracks, or tho peaceable
possession of Its tracks, or its right of
way over and along Pearl and Main streets
between tho Intersection of Pearl street
and Uroadway and Main street and Sixteenth
avenue, or from removing or Interfering
with Its said tracks laid upon said Pearl
and Main streets and especially at the Junc
tion of Willow avenuo and Pearl street,
Fifth avenue nnd Pearl street, Sixth ave
nuo nnd Pearl street, Sixth nvcnuo and
Main street, Seventh nvcnuo nnd Main
street, Eighth avenuo and Main street,
Ninth avenuo and Main street, Tenth avo
nuo and Main street, Elovcnth avenuo and
Main street, Twelfth avenue and Main
street, Thirteenth avenuo and Main street,
Fourteenth nvenue and Main street, Fif
teenth avenuo nnd Main street. Sixteenth
nvcnuo nnd Main street, or from putting
in crossings, or from attempting to put in
crossings at any of tho nbovo polnt3, or
in any way interfering with tho tracks of
tho old company.
In tho petition filed by tho old motor
company It is alleged that tho Injunction is
asked for tho purpose of compelling the
now company to enter Into tho customary
crossing contracts and agreements. This
tho plaintiff company alleges should bo
dono to protect It and also for tho protection
of tho traveling public.
CltUen Do .Not Like It.
Dy tho officers of tho new company this
action on tho part of tho old company is
regarded simply ns a means to hurras and
annoy It nnd to prevent ns far as possible
completing its lino to tho lake. When it
became known that tho old company had
Instituted further injunction proceedings
against tho suburban company it was ad
versely criticized by tho citizens generally.
Tho peoplo of tho city nre most anxious that
tho lino to the lako ehould bo
completed and they feel that tho
suburban company should receive fair treat
ment and not be harussed at every turn of
tho road. The aldermen at tho meeting of
tho city council, where papers were served
on somo of tho officers of the new compnny,
iero frco In expressing their opinions and
they wcro by no means favorablo to the
management of tho old company.
Whllo It Is not denied that somo property
owners aro adverso to tho new compnny
running Its tracks on the streots on which
they live, still tho public generally Is anx
ious that the lino to tho lako should bo
opened and the new company given as
sistance to do so. Tho failure to complete
tho line to tho popular resort Is keeping
thousands of visitors away and tho people
of thoclty itself aro prevented from on
Joying tho lake.

all protests on the tablo and order the f

North Seventh street, from llroadwuy to
W iishlnr ton avenue.

Tho resolution provides that theso streets
"are hereby ordered paved wilh vitrified
I lions to be placed on fllo tn tho offlco ot the
city clerk on or boforo Iho final passage of
this resolution, and that the expense of said
paving shall bo assessed against the property
abutting thcron In n sum not to exceed tho
benefit conferred upon eald property by said
Improvements nnd not to exceed twenty-five
(25) per cent of the actual valuo of the abut
ting property, and that any excess of tho cx-
penso of said Improvements over nnd above
such benefits nccrulng to tho nbuttlng prop
erty shall be paid out of such funds of said
city as arc by law Intended to bo used for
such purposes."
Tho principal protests wcro against the
paving of Mynster, North Sixth and North
Seventh streets. Tho protests filed were
Blgncd by what It was said represented 30
per cent of tho nbuttlng property owners.
Property (Miner Complain.
A. Louie, who owns property on both Myn
stor and North Sixth Btrect, appeared before
tho council nnd urged that these Btrccts bo
cut out of the list on tho grounds that to
pavo them at this Nmo would Impose too
much of a burden on tho property owners,
He referred to tho fact that It is only a year
slnco they; had completed tho payments for
tho old cedar block paving and, owing to
tho overflowing of tho creek, they had for
many yenrs been put to considerable and nl
most continuous expense.
Herman Schurz also spoko In protest
against the paving of these streets. Ho Raid
that as long as Mynster street had no open
Ing nt tho cast end It could not bo regarded
ns a thoroughfaro and that there wus no lm
medlato necessity for repaying It. Ho said
if tho council would connect with it Main
street by a bridge as had frequently been
piomlsed he believed tho property owners
would then be willing that It should bo re
paved.
Captain Williams was willing that It
should bo paved If It had to bo done, but he
should Insist that It bo paved with home
made brick. This declaration on tho part
of tho captain elicited npplauso from tho
lobby.
Victor 13. Hender, representing tho New
Nonpareil company, and E. A. Wlckham,
owner of property on Scott street, objected
to bearing tho extra cost of tho intersection
paving that would bo cntuiled by not pav
ing Mynster street at this time, nnd Alder
man Drown moved that all protests be laid
on the tnblo. Tho motion was lost, tho vote
being n tic. Then McDonald moved to cut
out Mynster street from tho list, nnd Drown
amended it by adding North Sixth and Sev
enth strcocts.
Deforo it was put Drown stated that he
believed thnt every ono wna anxious that a
largo amount of necessary paving should
bo dono this year and as ho did not bc
llovo McDonald had offered his motion in
good faith ho would -withdraw his amend
ment if McDonald would do tho same with
his original motion. McDonald was willing
and then Alderman Doyor moved that tho
resolution embracing tho entlro list o!
streets bo adoptod. Mayor Jennings sug
gested that each street be taken up sep
arately and If any property owner wished
to bo heard that ho given an opportunity.
The rending was proceeded with and no
ono appcarlug to protest, except Mr. Louie,
who reiterated his former objections, the
resolution was adopted.
One More Step Xoceiir.
According to tho provisions of tho statute
another resolution, ordering theso streets
paved nnd instructing the city clerk to
advertise for bids, will have to bo ndopted
at the next regular meeting, which occurs
next Monday night.

petition your honorable body that wo favor

inupcriies siicei nspnauum wnn a live-men

binder nnd two-Inch sheet nsphnltum with a
ten-year guarantee and respectfully request

that It bo In accordance herewith.
Alderman McDonald of tho Fourth ward
Is said to bo In favor of asphaltum under
certain conditions, but tho majority ot tho
other members of tho city council aro not.
They say that In paving with asphaltum
every dollar of tho cost of tho Improvement
would necessarily go out of tho city. Tho
contractor, who would In all probability bo
an Omaha man, would employ skilled labor
from outside and tho laboring men of this
city would not derive any boncflt from tho
work.
Tho city officials aro as a rulo In favor
of patronizing home Industry and believe
nal 01 soon quality can bo maJo
rigni hi nome ana mat every dollar, as
far as practicable, should be spent In Coun
cil Muffs. City Engineer Ktnyro mado a
test yesterday of the water absorbing pro
pensities of several samples of horae-madj
pavim? brick, with tho result that the
showed an Increase In weight of less than
3 per cent. The city engineer says that
the local brick plants can make Just rs cool
paving brick ns can bo manufactured any
where In support of hU assertion ho poluts
to Pierce street, which was paved ten years
ago with brick made tn this city. Today,
although tho street Is a heavily traveled
one, tho paving Is In first-class condition
and tho brick is but slightly worn. The
brick manufactured today, ho claims, is
better than that made ten years ago. Is
answer to the claim that tho local brick
men could not manufacture a sufficient
quantity to pave all tho streets that tho
city contemplates Improving this year Mr.
Ktnyro says the local men have never been
given a chanco beforo nnd ho Is of the
opinion that the homo yards can furnish
all tho brick needed.
City officials who favor brick for paving
as against asphaltum nay the dlffcrrnca
In cost should be taken Into account. The
last contracts lot by Iho city for brick
paving were $1.10 for top and bottom courses
of Council Muffs brick and l 39$i for
bottom course of home-made brick and top
course of Dc Molnea brick. It Is not. how
ever, believed that these prices can bo ob
tained this year, ns labor will ccat more,
tout tho lucrenso Is not expected to bo very
great. According to tho representative ot
tho nflphalt company present nt tho meeting
ot the Fourth warders Wednesday night,
paving with asphaltuni with a ten-year
guaranty would cost about $2.30 per yard.
Nono of tho city officials who havo given
tho question any Investigation bclicvo for a
moment that asphaltum paving Is moro
durablo than brick. They claim that brick
paving will last twico as long, If not longer,
than attphaltum.
Mayor Jennings nnd several of tho alder
men aro anxious to try tho cement filler
In tho brick paving used with such good
effect In Des Molnea. The extra cost of
cement filler Is only nbout 10 cents n
yard nnd mnkcA a street paved this way
ns smooth ns ono covered with nspbaltum.

up his business today preparatory to his de
parture In a very hnppy frame of mind. Ho
said: "Wo'ro going down thero to name
tho winning ticket. Any good man who will
staud squarely on tho platform with Bryan
will bo sufficient to turn tho trick. God Al
mighty hns nlwayB been mighty good to tho
republican party by having famines nnd
wars In other countries when It is in power
so ns to causo artificial prosperity, but I
want to tell you, tho country Is In a devil
of a fix todny nnd the people will find It
out booh enough. We'll never hear any
more of McKlnlcy during tho campaign. Tho
party's nshamod of him. It'll bo Teddy this
nnd Teddy that all over tho county 'Teddy,
tho wonderful Rough Rider.' You know
what Lincoln said about how you can fool
nil of 'em part of the time, etc. Well, that's
tho way It Is now. Tho republican party has
always run campaigns on sentiment and Is
going to try to do It this time, but common
senso Is bound to win now. It used to be
tho 'bloody Bhlrt,' and it'll bo 'Teddy, the
Hough Rider.' They'll try to win tho cam
paign on n llttlo cheap military glory. Why,
don't you know, If It hadn't been for tho
black troops down thero at Santiago tho
Rough Riders would have nil been cut to
pieces and we'd never heard any more of
the Immortal Teddy."

WATERLOO, In., Juno 28. (Special Tele
gram.) David D. Henderson was nominated
for congress by tho republicans of the Third
district today for the tenth consecutive
term. All his previous nominations havo
been by acclamation, and tho convention to
day followed tho same beaten path. C. E.
AiDrook ot Eidora placed tho speaker In
nomination and each county in the district
seconded the motion to make the nomina
tion unanimous, and then tho motion was
carried with a hurrah.
The platform, which was written br
"Jake" Rich of Dubuque, endorsed the action
of the Philadelphia convention and the ac
tion of congress and then eulogized Speaker
Henderson In a long paragraph. The speaker
was escorted before the convention and re
celved with applause. He spoke at consld
erablo length on tho Issues of tho day and
referred specially to what congress did dur
ing the last session. The financial bill, ho
said, was keeping faith with the declara
tlons of tho St. Louis platform and he re
ferred to the fact that it was passed by tho
uouse Dcroro tno holiday recess, when us
ually nothing but organization was dono by
mat boay before tho holidays.
He referred to the principles ot the re
publican party and said they were written
upon tho stone whereon Is written the golden
rule; that they aro written In tho hearts
that beat in tho boasts of such men as Ab
raham Lincoln and William McKlnley
Theso principles, ho said, wero fair play
and tho golden rule. He explained tho Porto
Mean bill at considerable length, saying
that It was only a temporary measure and
was enacted to furnish revenue to run tho
government of tho Island until tho govern
ment there can ratso revenuo themselves.
Ho said that any ono might search tho rec
ords ot tho treatment of their colonies by
hngland and Russia or any other country
and nowhero would you find such kindness ns
that shown by the American Porto Rlcan
bill.
