IlKill SCHOOL SITU I'lOlIT OPI3NS,
Ilonril of Kritit'utlnn Kxiirctril to He
nrlnil Km Selection.
The regular monthly session of the Hoard
of Education Is booked for tomorrow night
When, by some, tho board Is expected to tako
another whirl at tho High school site prob
lorn and rescind Its latest action In select
Ing. tho Glen avenuo location. There are
many who do not bcllevo tho board decided
on this location with tho serlouu Intention
of placing tho new High school there, but
imply voted for this site becauso of having
been turned down on tho Oakland avenuo
location.
Tho thirty days in which an appeal can
bo taken from tho nction of tho board In
selecting the old High school slto expire
next Saturday; Should tho board fail to
rescind Ha Action at tho meeting tomorrow
night the filing of an appeal can be conn
dently looked for, as thcro are several In
terested people who will not allow tho new
High school to bo built on Qlen avenuo If
they cati possibly prevent It. A leading at
torney who has not so far figured in tint
High school litigation states that it tho
board refuses to rescind its action he will
reluctantly file an appeal on his own behalf
and that of many other interested tax
payers.
Attorney I. N. Fllcklnger, who prosecuted
the fight agalust tho Oakland avenuo site,
when asked If he would appeal from the nc
tlon of the board in selecting tho old High
school Bite, said, "No. I do not think I want
to become involved In any more litigation
with the school board. I had my sharo of it
and now let someono else tako tho matter
ip. I was retained to defeat tho Oakland
uvenue slto and having accomplished that I
urn now out of tho fight. At tho same time
I do not bcllevo that the board seriously
contemplates building tho school on Glen
avenue, although that slto would, In my
opinion, bo preferable to Oakland avenuo. I
am told that if tho board does not rescind
Its action an appeal will undoubtedly be
'taken from tho Qlen avenuo location and
tho whole fight will bo opened up again. I
have, however, reason to bcllevo that tho
members of tho board will get together and
select a site that Is central and acceptable
to the pooplo In general."

SEWERS REFUSE TO CARRY THE FL00.-)

Mill lint-en.
Council Hluffs was virtually flooded hv
the heavy rain which poured down In tor
rents last night. Tho streets were turned
Into veritable mill races and the water
surged abovo the sidewalks along several of
tho downtown paved streets. The heavy
shower in the afternoon caused Indian creek
to rise to the danger line And the steady
downpour after dark made It overflow Its
banks and fill Uroadway and tho adjoining
streets nnd avenues with a teething mass of
muauy water.
The water that poured from tho hi 1
ttrcets after tho first khowcr In the after
noon choked tho seweru and South Main
street, from Fifth avenue to near tho Hock
Islcnd depot became a miniature lake, tho
water in places flowing over tho sidewalks
and up to the very doors of the abutting
ttorrs and houses. Fifth nvonue, from Sev
enth street several blocks wcrt, was under
water and In places Impascable for pedes
trians or teams. On Loth sides of Broadway
the water rushed In torrents along tho
curbing, making It Impossible to cross the
street without getting wet nearly to the
knees. This water poured over tho yards
of tho Northwestern railway at Twelfth
street until that place assumed the appear
ance of a largo lake.
A few hours later, when the creek Jumped
Its tanks, tho trouble Increased many fold
ond Uroadway from Seventh street west.
whtre tho first break occurred, became a
rushing torrent. At places In the North
western yards the water was estimated to
be at least two feet deep. A number of cel
lars on tho north side of Broadway were
flooded.
Tho electrical storm and heavy rain de
moralized the street car service and visit
ors from Omaha to tho lake had a trying
and damp time of It before they managed to
reach the other sldo of tho river. Even tho
closed cars proved but poor protection
agalnts the heavy downpour of rain, as tho
water leaked through the roofs of tho cars
and trickled In dirty streams down onto the
summer dresses of tho womenfolk.
Tho Northwestern road suffered two bad
washouts on Its line In this vicinity. A big
washout was reported at Honey creek and
another near Crescent City. The Sioux
City and overland tralnsj wero held here for
several hours.
Tho motor bridge at Thirteenth street be
camo weakened by the flood and about 10
o'clock tho company decided it was unsafe
to allow tho heavy cars to cross It. Passen
geru were transferred at cither end, having
to walk across tbo trestle In tho pouring
rain.

The city council Is elated to take another
wrestle at the street paving question to
night. It will have a doublo bill to tackle.
owing to action on the group of streets em
braced In tho second resolution havlug been
deferred from last Friday night to thin
meeting. Tho third resolution, providing
for tho paving with brick of tho following
streets, was assigned for tonight: Graham
avenuo from Madison avenue to Falrmaunt
park; Broadway, from First street to tho
easterly curb line of Frank street; Harrison
etrect, from tbo south lino of Washington
avenue to tho south curb lino of Benton
street extension; Park avenue, from Broad

from Park avenue to Qlcn avenue; Glen
avenuo, from Broadway to water works

Hluff street Bluff street, from Pierce street
to north curb line of Ninth avenue; Willow
avenue, from Main street to went curb line
of Third street; Fifth nvenue, from Main
street to west curb line of Third street;
Story street, from Main street to Bluff
street; Fourth street, from Broadway to
Worth street; Tenth avenue, from Fourth
street to High street.
Protest) against the paving of several of
these streetB hare been filed with tho city
clerk nnd more, it Is expected, will bo pre
sented before tho opening of tonight's ses
Ion. Tho streets embraced In the third
resolution arc eltuntcd cast of Main street.
The streets on which action was deferred
lost Frldny until tonight are: Sixth street,
from Broadway to Fifth .avenue; Sixth
street, from south lino of Eighth avenuo to
north curb lino of Sixteenth avenue; Sev
etith street, from Broadway to Fifth avenue;
Eighth street, from Broadway to north curb
lino of Seventh avenue; Fourth avenue, from
Eighth street to cast curb lino of Ninth
street; First avenue, from Pearl street to
Eighth street; Ninth avenue, from Main
street to cast curb lino of Sixth street;' Wil
low avenue, from Seventh street to Eighth
street; Fifth avenue, from Main street to
west lino of Eighth street; Sixth avenue,
from Main street to cast curb line of Sixth
street; Third avenue, from Eighth otrcet to
east curb line of Ninth street.
Theso are situated west of Main street,
the majority being In the Fourth ward,
where tho Interested property owners are
desirous that they be paved with aspaaltum
Instead of brick, no recommended by the
council.. Petitions asking that the following
streets bo paved with aspbaltum have been
filed: First and Fourth avenues; Sixth,
Seventh and Eighth streets. As far. as'
South Sixth street is concerned the alder
men are opposed to paving It with as
phaltum, as tho city will have to bear a
large portion of the expense. The portion
opposite the postofllce will bare to be paved
at the city's expense, as the government will
not contrlbuto to tbo cost of street 1m
provements. The noxt block south U bounded
on the east sldo by Bayllss park and the cost
of the paving opposite this will have to be
borne by the city. Two of the park commls
stoners signed the petition for aspbaltum
but their authority to do to as park com
missioners has been questioned. The ques
tlon has also been brought up whether the
cost of tho paving can be paid out of the
park fund or whether tho city will have to
provide for It out of tho general Improve
ment fund. The matter has been referred
to City Solicitor Wadsworth for his opinion
Under tho new law no property can bo
asocssed for paving or other public Improve
ments in an amount exceeding the benefits
derived by tho property from such Improve
ments. City ofllcla'.s are doubtful If the
property on noruo of the streets recom
mended paved can stand the cost of paving
with asphaltuui, which will be greatly In
excess of brick.
Pressure Ib being brought on the aldermen
by the local labor unions to have all streets
paved with brick and, as far as possible
with home material. It Is urged by the labor
unions that If the streets are paved with
aspbaltum much of the money that would
otherwise be spent right In this city will go
out of here. The unions are also afraid that
If osphaltum Is used there will not be the
demand for homo laborers as tbero would
be If brlok was used exclusively.

Stinilny nt the l.nltc,
Owing to the shortness of the curve nt
Ninth nvenue n'nd Sixth street, It was found
mposslble yesterday to run the large open
motor cars of tho Bridge company over the
tracks of tho SuburbAn road to Lake Man-
awn. The long closed cars were able to
mako the curve and several of theso were
run through direct from Omaha to the lake
during the afternoon. This defect will be
remedied at once and the long cars, It is
promised, will be running through in a day
or so.
Owing to the threatening appearance of the
weather thcro was a smaller crowd than had
been expected at the lake and those that
ventured down had to leave early on account
of the rnln.
Thcro were two games of hall at the
lake grounds, one In the morning and the
second In the afternoon. In the morning
the team from the Ganymede Wheel club of
this city beat the Omaha World-Herald ag
gregation by a score of 20 to 11.
Tho game In tho afternoon between the
Suburban club nnd a team from Persia, la.,
was a really good exhibition of ball. It re
sulted In favor of tho Suburbanites by a
score of 7 to 1, the game having to be cut
short on account of the rain.

CONDUCTOR INSTANTLY KILLED
Itrnr-Kuil Collision on tlic Illinois
Centrnl CokIn the Life of One
of the ImuloyeN.
FOUT DODGE, la., July 15. (Special Tel
egram.) A rear-end collision occurred at
2:30 this morning on tho Illinois Central,
ono mile west of Tarn, In which Conductor
Mellvillo of Cherokee was Instantly killed
and Brakeman Ilcellgman Injured. The
colliding trains wero the "Clipper" passen
ger train from Sioux City and a gravel train
In charge of Conductor Mellvllle. Tho re
sponsibility for tho accident is difficult to
fix, as Conductor Mellvllle cannot explain
the orders which ho received.
The "Clipper" Is due hero nt 10 In tho
evening, but a washout this side of Storm
Lako caused several hours' delay. The
gravel' train from Cherokee was the last
train to go over tho places which later be
came a mudholo for about half a mile and
required six cars of gravel to fill In before
the passenger train could pass over. It Is
possible thut Conductor Mellvillo was labor
ing under tho supposition that It would take
all night to repair tho roadbed and was not
expecting to bo followed. In any case, he
had stopped his train at the Biding west of
Tara. Part of tho cars wero on the side
track and a few, Including tho box car im
provised as a caboose, wero on the main
line. Tho "Cllp'per" passenger was follow
ing at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour,
without the knowledge that there was a
freight ahead. Engineer Fox of the "Clip
per" and his fireman, Dillon, say they saw
no light on the caboose of the freight. Tho
collision occurred at full spceJ. The caboose
was knocked Into kindling wood and Con
ductor Mellvllle was Instantly killed. His
brakeman, Ilcellgman, was standing In the
door and was thrown about twenty feet, but
escaped with come severe bruises. The
passenger engine was reduced to scrap Iron,
but both engineer and fireman, though they
clung to their places, were unhurt. The
passengers wero shaken up badly, but none
wero seriously Injured.

DES MOINES, July 15. (Special Tele

beyond expression by the telegram announc

"I still hope," said Mrs. Ida H. Concer.

know that hope Is agnlnst all reason."
Lven now they believe that some of the
Congers escaped. They certainly made torao
powerful friends while, In Pekln nnd cer

been determined upon definitely for memo

"Tho city should hold memorial services
