Colonel Alexander Ilouglund, widely known
as "tho father of tho nowshoys," lias usked
tho city council to pass two ordinances that
nro designed to correct wayward nnd Incor
rigible youths. One of these makes It tho
duty of tho chief of police to causo tho ar
rest (jf all vagrant or tramp boys and girls
found within his Jurisdiction and to Incar
cerate them pending correspondence with
their relatives. It provides that wherever
possible tho ofllccr making thn nrrcHt shall
take tho prisoner to his home, where his
parents aru held rcaponslblo for his cor.'co-
tlon. Tlio other proposed law Is entitled
"An act to prevent tho Incarceration of
youths, leys and girls, In station houses,
Julls, workhouses, ' etc., with old, hardened
criminals, designating tho olllcera tn en
force tho name, defining tho penalties nnd
declaring an emergency. This ordinance
would plncu iv Hnn of J.'i on any o Ulcer found
guilty of arresting and Incarcerating with
ndults uny boy or girl under 18 years of age.
Colonel Iloaglnnd addressed tho council

Ono of the most Interesting eases that
lias betn on the court calendar of this
county for a long tlmu will bo tried at tho
term of circuit court for Davison county,
which will begin on Weduesdny. Tho ease
Is that of Hobert H. Mcllrldo ngalnst about
forty citizens of Mitchell, who wero asso
ciated In the destruction of his newspaper,
tho Mitchell Mall, nnd his cntlro printing
outfit.
On tho morning of February 24, IMC,
nbout llfty of the Mitchell citizens marched
to tho tfllco of the Mall to carry out the
ngrecment with tho editor on thu Saturday
night beforo to buy thu materlol and paper.
Mcllrldo did not meot tho committee when
It called. Thu committee appointed ono
of tho number to net ns ngont for Mc
llrldo, Iho oillco was Invoiced at u llttlo
over (300 and tho amount was turned over
to tho ngent to pny Mcllrldc. Tho work? of
demolition commenced nnd In a very short
time tho entire olTlce material was dumped
In 11 pile. In tho street, sovcrnl gallons of
kerosene wero poured over tho heap nnd a
match started tho blazo which Boon con
sumed nil there wns of tho Mitchell Mall.
Tho committee wub very deliberate In Its
actions. No masks wero worn nud tho
wholo affair took place tn broad daylight,
without n restraining hand from a 11 body.
Orliclu of the Trouble.
Tho facts leading up to the destruction of
tho Mall wero of several years standing.
Mcllrldo bad 11 strong hatred for thu Into
John I;. Lawler, alleging thnt ho enmo be
tween Mcllrldo ami his wlfo and caused
their soiuratlon. After tho separation .Mc
llrldo commenced to nbuse tho supposed
separator of his homo through his paper.
Ho not only attacked tho personal char
acter of Mr. Lawler in tlio paper, hut mudo
many severo reflections on tho First Na
tional bank, of which Mr, Lawler wan pres
ident, and attacked several enterprises In
the city. Interested citizens tried in every
possible legal way to stop tho publication
of thu paper, but, to no avail. Mntters
continued In this way until nbout n week
beforo tho destruction of tho paper took
place.
Mcllrlde nsks for dnmagcu amounting to
nbout $23,000. Since tho burning of his out
lit ho hns continued to llvo In Mitchell for
tho purposu of bringing his rase Into court
An action was commenced shortly ufter tho
Incident occurred, hut It was postponed
from tlmo to tlmo as vurlous points that
camo up in tho case wero argued either
beforo tho circuit or supremo court, ulid
which prevented tho enso from coming to
trial. Notice was given u few weeks ago
that tlio action could bo ready for a hear
Ing at tho November term. On account of
tho wldo knowledge of tho ensu In this
county tho court Issued an order for an
unusually largo panel of Jurors to bo
drawn for tho term. Fifty Jurors wcru
drawn In tho hopo thnt a Jury could bo
obtained from that number to try tho
case. Tho euso was llrst started In Aurora
county by thu plaintiff on tho ground tint
he could not secure it fair Jury In this
county, but ns much tlmo has elapsed slnco
then It Is likely thut a Jury ean bo ob
tallied.
Mr. Mcllrldo has retained us his nttor

Tho real causo of idigestion Is tho lack of

Another attempt will bo mado Thursday
night by tho city council to sell u bunch
of special district bonds. lu the lot Is In
cluded $33,000 In Twenty-fourth street pav
ing bond, which have already been declared
Illegal by the courts. Other special tax as
sessments Included In tho Issuo aro in doubt
ns tn legality. Ono of tho bond buyers said
last evening that ho would bid ou the wholo
Issue, subject tu legality, nnd when thu
Twent) -fourth street paving bonds were
thrown uut ho would only havo to pay n pro
ratn premium. As for tho certified checks
for $1,000 each put up Monday night by thu
tin 'jo bidders, It Is asserted that tho checks
nro void for tho reason that conditions arc
written on the back.
Interest on tho securities which the bonds
arc to replace nud which tho city will havo
to pny Is running at the rate of $400 a month.
Homo of tho districts lu tho bond proposi
tion nro good while others aro not, nnd this
Is whero tho whole trouble lies. It Is the
opinion now that this Issue of bonds will
never bo sold nud members of tho council
nre kicking themselves for having allowed
tho bid of Frank Morlnrly to get away from
them.
The mayor nud Fovcral members of tho
council agreed yesterday that If tho Issuo
did not go It will bo necessary to Issuo gen
eral Indebldncss bonds to tako up tho out
standing obligations. Should all of tho ob
ligations now outstanding on special district
assessments bo taken up It will mean an
issue of $125,000 In general Indebtedness
bonds. With the present general Indebted
ness at $307,000 tho lncreaso In taxation
will bo felt by tho property owners If $125,-
000 Is added, nnd this will bo tho result In
tho end. So many special district assess
ment taxes havo been declared Illegal by
tho courts that there Is nothing else for tho
council to do but to provldo for n general
bond Issue. It Is true that home of tho
districts aru paying In slowly, but tho ma
jority of those who owu tiro holding buck
In hopes that their taxes, too, may bo de
clared Illegal. Thus tho load must be car
ried by tho city, nnd there Is no money at
hand to pay theso maturities without a
bond Issuo. Owing to mismanagement un
der democratic ndmlnlstratlous In tho past
no provision has been mado for sinking
funds nnd so tho city has to stand up now
and shoulder tho burden which should nat
urally be homo by district property owners,
Whllo tho Issuo of $12.",000 In general in
debtedness bonds may possibly bo needed,
It has been suggested that an effort bo
mado to lmvo a hill passed by tho legisla
ture legalizing tho special district taxes al
ready assessed, or to uuthurlzo tho mayor
and council to reassess tho taxes. Some
thing llko this was dono In Nebraska City
some years ago. Nebraska City adopted n
certain chnrter, but for some reason Us
adoption was not legal nnd 11 bill was put
through tho legislature legalizing tho nets
of the mayor und council during the period
thnt this charter hnd been In operation. If
a hill can bo passed by tho next leglslnturo
legalizing tho special assessment of taxes
In South Omaha or giving authority to tho
council to rcasEess It will mnko a big dif
ference In tlio bonded debt of tho city. This
bonded debt Is not being decreased to any
alarming extent and as thero is no sinking
fund thcro Is no liability of Its being wiped
out beforo tho end of time. An Increase In
tlio general Indebtedness therefore means
that the city, with tl its wealth nnd Income,
Is not making any rovlsion for tho future.
Including general nnd special district
bonds South Onnihii owes In the neighbor
hood of $700,000, and thero is very llttlo If
anything on hand with which to pay this
amount. Froperty owners nro lighting tno
a fcossment of special taxes levied for Im
provcmentB with tho result Jhiit tho city at
large will havo to pay for nearly u not nu
of tho Improvements mado within tho last
ten yenrs. Fosslbly tho only exception is
tho repairs to tho two vluductB. Now the
railroad companies protend to keep theso
bridges In repulr. which relieves tho city
of an nnnual expenditure of at least $4,000,
Tuoso who aro fumlllar with tho cxlotlng
conditions say that what Is needed now Is a
new city charter which will protect tho mu
nlclimllty and tho citizens as woll.

Kl' was called to this yesterday ami no

SIOUX CITV, la., Nov. 13. (Special.)
As ono result of tho lust session of con
gress u survey was ordered made by tho
United Stutcs Engineering department to
determine, whether or not It would bo
feasible, us claimed, to build reservoirs at
Lakes Folusott nnd Knmpesku, In South
Dakota, near tho headwaters of tho Sioux
river, lu which tho surplus water of tho
spring rnlns could bo stored and let Into
tho stream during tho dry seasons to keep
Its flow uniform. Colonel II. M. Chitten
den of this city, government engineer lu
chargo of tho Improvement of tho upper
Missouri river and tho Improvement of
Yellowstono park, has Just returned from
un Inspection of tho country nenr tho
lakea and tho engineering problems In
volved und ho asserts thnt tho plan is
so very feaslblo that ho has no doubt
about Its being adopted nnd tho reservoirs
built.
"Tho expense of the neccssnry dams,"
ho said, "would bo Inslgnlllcant, nor would
thoro bo damages to pay for tho ovcrtlow
ot prlvato lands which constitute the
greater part of tho expenses of most of
tho channels from tho lakes to tho Sioux
rlvor. At Lake Folusett it would beneccs
sary to dredgo u channel about four miles
long over level lund. Through this tho
waters of tho Sioux during high watet
would bo let nnd tho freshets doilected.
Theso would fill tho beds of tho old lakes.
Folnsctt has an ureu of obout twenty-threo
square miles, Kampeska a third ns largo.
Tho dams could bo built to admit tho river
water at ono season nnd to let it out again
ut another. "It Is rcmarkablo that tho
combination of circumstances should bo to
favorable."
Tho purpose of tho reservoirs would bo
to hold water for tho cattle, which grnzo In
tho neighborhood of tho lakes.
