.THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, AUGUST J, 1901. 7 0STR01I ENTERS A PROTEST Objects to Frotniicaoni AUswkw of Bill bj Oountj Board. DEMANDS REFERENCE TO COMMITTEE lloetor llrriiinr Annoycil nnil Hn(lly Tnktu Out Three 1IIIU lu Which He Think the llepuhllcnn Metnliem Are Intertilled. At yesterday's meeting of the county com missioners Mr. Ostrom attempted to put a stop lo the practice of suspending the rules and allowing bills without bavins them Referred to the finance committee nud checked up. Mr. Hoctor handed up a big bunch of bills and moved to impend tho rules. "I csk for a roll call on tho motion," said Mr. Ostrom. Tho roll was culled, Hoctor, Hofcldt and Connolly voting In tho afflrtnatlvc and Harte and Ostrom In tho negative. "Tho chair rules that a majority vote Is all that Is necessary to suspend the rules mid the motion Is therefore carried," an nounced Chairman Connolly. Then Mr. Hoctor read off a lot of bills Hnd moved that they be placed on tho Appropriation sheet and ordered paid by vtnrrnnts against tho proper funds. When '.he nnme of Mr. Ostrom was reached on tho rrtll call on the motion to tillnw the bills that member said: "I don't know anything about somo of theso bills; they may be all right. What I obJeH to Is the allowance of blllB which havo not been referred to tho finance com mittee end properly investigated. At our last meeting wo allowed two bills which lind not been sworn to as required by law 1 think this promiscuous passing of bills ought to be stopped." Hoctor In Xetlleil. Mr. Hoctor was annoyed. Ho withdrew his motion to nllow nil tho bills hu had pre sented, and after taking out threo bills In which ho thought the republican members . were Interested, moved that the remainder 1)0 allowed. His motion prevailed, Ilarto and Ostrom voting In tho negative. The three bills taken out of the batch by Mr. Hoctor and left unpaid Include one for sewer wqrk In Union precinct nmountlng to J352.32, one In favor of Clara Harto for work In tho register of deeds' office amount ing to JGO and County Clerk Havcrly's post ago bill amounting to $35.80. After the meeting Mr. Ostrom said ho had no special Interest In any of tho bills presented and his only object In voting ngalnst them was to disapprove of the practlco of allowing bills beforo they had been properly examined by tho committee In regard to tho bill for sewer work In Valley precinct, which Mr. Hoctor had let fall by the wayside, ho said It was for work ordered by himself and Mr. Horeiat but he hnd no special Interest In It. The two bills which passed through nt lho mooting of July 17 without having been .iworii to. as required by law wero for vork done by day labor. One was for sower work In Clonlnrf precinct, amounting to $212.40, and tho other was for carpenter unri; nt hn noor farm, amounting to )176.10. HOME FROM THE PHILIPPINES Cnptnln If. X. Hoyden, Xeir ne.ernltlnir Olllcer, Arrived' In Omnha ' It end for lltinliieaa. Cftplaln H. N. Hoyden of tho Twonty tilxth Infantry, who will relieve Lloutenan llerry as recruiting officer under Colonel Spurr.ln at tho Omaha omce, arrived In Omuhn yesterday from San. Francisco. While In tho Philippines Captain Hoyden waB under General Hates, who had com1 mand of tho islnndn Inhabited by tho Moros, nud for a tlmo wns provost marshal of tho Island of Jolo, one of tho most Important of the Sulu group and one which the Spanish vi'ero unable to conquer In all of the time they held nominal possession of tho Philip pine Islands. Captain Hoyden spenkB of the Jloios as a vary friendly race, but ono fixed In Its Ideas of civilization and religion. They arc without exception bigoted Mo hnmmrdnns, who have little uso for those of any other form of religion, and for this muson as much as nny other they have re hlstcd tho efforts i t colonization by the Hpanlards, who attempted to force ChrU-tlnnlty-ajpon the Islanders as well as Euro liean civilization. With the coming of tho United States army they generally laid tlown their arms nnd welcomed tho Ameri cans ns deliverers, having nothing In com mon with tho Tngalos who Incited the In surrection headed by Agulnaldo. Since tho United States took chargo of the Island of Jolo tho nntlvcs for the first time In 200 years disbanded their armies and laid down their arms. Speaking of affairs on the island Captain Hoyden said: "Thn conditions In Jolo are those of peaco. Tho fortified town of Jolo Is the center of tho mother-of-pearl Industry of the world and will Increase Its output now that practical peace has come, to tho Inhah ltaut, who were never at pcaca with Spain That country held the town of Jolo, but with tho exception of tho ground enclosed within Its walls tho Moros Wero supremo In tho Islnnd. Bo difficult was It for Spain to My crippled." nlionmntlnm at its worst is n sort of living death. Tt chains a man to n chair or binds hint to a bed, nnd metes out to hint n daily martyrdom. At the best rneumaiism ! a painful malady, In terfering alike with pleasure and busi ness. To cure rheurra- tism it is necessiity to eliminate from the blood the acid poisons which are the cause of the dis ease, This is effect ually done by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis- covery. it carnes out of the blood the corrupt and poison oub accumulations which breed and feed disease. It in creases the activity of the blood-making clamls ami sends an Increased supply of rich, pure blood through vein and nrtery to strengthen every organ ot tne body, "I had bn troubled rith thciunktUm for twelve year. o bad at times i rouia noi icare tuy hfu," wrltn Mr. K.

The pain In my back, hip and leu (nuJ at time In my head), would nearly kill me. My nppettte wa very bad. l'.verybody who aw mc mid 1 mml die. 1 took five bottle of the '(ioldeu Medical DUcovery' and four vial of J'elleU,' and to-day ray health U good alter ufleriuff twelve year with rheumatism." Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are rfn aids to the cleansintr of the clogged system. By all dealer in .lucuicmc. .. enforce IL law In the Island that they finally gave un tho attempt to collect lm- ort duties anil made Jolo a free port for all nations. This action was forced upen hem In a measure by the commanders of merchant vtescls of other nations who would anchor their ship Ave miles from the port of Jolo And tho natives would put off from land in bonta and trade with the ves sels. This took from the Inhabitants of the city all participation In the profits of the transaction, to the port was opened. Then the nntlvcs did not come Into tho wnlled city ordinarily. When It was desired by a tribe to secure articles from the city the old and dlscrcplt men and women would be sent to do the buying while the able-bodied men armed with the weapons of the Island ers would remain In the brush near the city wain to kill any Spaniards who would offer the opportunity. "Tho people of this country have no Idea of the size of tho Islands of the l'hlllpplno group and the amount of work that will be ncccuary to bring them absolutely under the sway of the United States. For this reason somo of tho ncwapaper reports icnt out are amusing. The report that General cnarfeo Is planting to concentrate tho troops now In tho Islands Is one of thwn. Do you know that upon the Island of 1'ara gua, tho third largest of the Philippine group, no United States soldier has set root, nnd only recently another I .inmi T. . . . y u er lm"or,flnt the republican members of tho board that ' " 'L, vu .i V.

"Tho government may have trouble In settling many questions which may arise lu the different Islands, but so far every thing they havo undertaken has succeeded and there Is no doubt that they will con tinue in this manner." YOUNG W0MEN DRAW CART (Hit .11 nil Compel Hln Dium liter- to hi;rve n limit of Burden Over the Country. When tho authorities swooped down upon them they were trudging over tho hills In tho vicinity of Valparaiso, 3nunders county, following the mnln lines of road In a northeasterly direction. The old man, who gives the name of John C. Gra ham, was limping painfully behind the two-wheeled curt, laden with household goods, which was being drawn by his two grown daughters. Tbn young women walked on either side of the tongue nnd leaned their breasts against n sort of leather collar, which enabled them to pull after the manner of a draft horse. Tho other members of the party were an old woman, wife of Oraham, and two ltt tlo girls, aged 3 and C years, respectively, children of one of the women In harness. All wcru dressed In rags and tatters and bore evidence of an Imperfect acquaintance with the bathtub. For two years, tho old man suld, the had been tramping thus over several states of the middle west, begging their food und sleeping In straw stacks and barns. In the winter they usually managed to compel the police au thorltles of some considerable town to sup port them and In tho summer they toured the country, gypsy fashion. One of the young women who labored nt the cart tongue was of unsound mind nnd had been so from early childhood. , Her Bister hnd married unhappily and was the mother of the two children. The whero abouts of tho father was unknown. This In substance is the story told by Miss Louise Rankin, Lincoln district super Intcndent of tho Nebraska Children's Homo society, who arrived In Omaha yesterday with one of tho llttlo girls, for whom she hopes to find a home. Tho child Is now In custody of Hew E. I. Qulvcy, superintend ont ot tno nqme. "I never saw such depravity In my life," said Miss Hnnkln, "nnd I think wo are ex remcly fortunate In getting the llttlo girls away from them before they became old enough to understand, The family didn't seem to know whero they wero going or to care. Tho sune young woman told mo her fnthor would often get In the cart and niako her and her sister draw him as well as the load of household goods, when ho would about nt them as though they were oxen nnd prod them with bis enne, which had a sharp metal point on tho end of it. "They were arrested near Valparaiso threo days ago charged with bolng vagrants. The old man and the old woman nsked to be sent back to Gngo county, where, It seems, somo ono had been kind to them. This was done and I understand thsy are now In the Gage county poor house. The simple-minded young ' woman Is In the asylum; the sane ono has been sent to some western city Deadwood, 1 think It wns and th? society has found homes for the two llttlo girls, or will do so Bhortly."

Chairman Connolly made no announcement of the 1m pending coup, ntid even had ho done so ho , would not have called It by that name. Perhaps It was because tho contemplated action could be expressed proper w iILaP ' French, a language In which tho chairman Is somewhat rusty, that Connolly Issued no advance notice. At nny rate tho only Intimation given hnlrman for Mr. Hoctor to take the chair. Hut that was lufflclent. When Mr. Hoctor takes the chair It's gold certificates o confederate bills that there will bo something doing. So, while the large gentleman from South Omaha wns moving laboriously toward the chnlr, Otis llnrto was separating himself from tho building with tho agility of a printer. Connoll) Stnrli SoiuethliiK. Now," suld Mr. Connolly, after Hoctor had adjusted his avoirdupois to Its new nvlronment and after Harte had probably eached the corner of Tenth and Farnam trects, "I wunt to move tho rcadoptlon of tho resolution adopted June 19 to change the lines of tho commissioners' districts. here seems to be some question ns to the cgollty of our former action on tho resolu tion, 'because all of the members were not present at tho meeting, nnd therefore I movo the rcadoptlon of tho resolution." Mr. Ostrom noticed that Connolly said 'rcadoptlon" nnd not "reconsideration" nnd so he was prompt with a point of order. "1 rise," said Ostrom nnd he did rise to a point of order. I submit that tho motion of Mr. Connolly Is out of order for the reason that the resolution has al ready been adopted and It cannot bo adopted again unless the board votes to reconsider Its former action. T. Hoctor was never built to be moved by such trivial things as points of order and he lost no time In overruling the ono nindo by Mr. Ostrom. Ileforo the roll call on Mr. Connolly's mo tion Mr. Ostrom requested tho clerk to note on tho rocord that Mr. Harte was nb sent. "Yes," said Mr. Hoctor, "let tho clerk mako such n note and then let him noto that Mr. Harto was not excused by the chnlr." Connolly's motion was then carried by a vote of 3 to 1 and the gerrymander rcsolu tlon wnH declared "rendopted." TOUGHS WRECK A SALOON Hilly llynn mill Frank McMnnua Smanh Anton Xelann'n II nr nnd StocU. Hilly Hyan, alias Ross, and Frank Mc Manus, nllas" Jim Tucker, wrocked the In terlor of Anton Nelson's snloon at Thlr tleth and Spauldlng streets last night. They smashed chairs, tables and other furniture, glassware and bar fixtures nnd opened bar rels of wines nnd liquors, allowing lho con tents to waste nwny. Tho toughs only stopped when thero was nothing left to break. The place looked jib though some body from Kansas had paid It a hurried visit. The colored firemen nt No. 11 engine house, Just across the Btrcet, captured Hyan and McManus when they left tho saloon and made a plucky fight to hold them until tho arrival of tho police. Mc Manus escaped, but Hyan wns turned over to Emergency Officer Baldwin, who locked him up.

Address, Pattcru Department, Omaha Bee. Career of the Naval Historian and His Characteristics. States In 1813. Leech's nccount of tho flcht is most lnteresttnc and drnmatle. It abounds In personnl touches and lifcllko details and Mr. Jiaolay has thought so wol of Leech's description that ho has re- produced It almost word for word, forgot- tinir. howevor. to acknowlednc his Indented. ness. Tho casual render, unaware that BOmn fifty years before Mr. Maclay's epoch making work made Its nppenranco, the ac count ot tne ngnt could be found m a supplanted by an emotion of a different character. "In 1811 the American ship Frolic, Cnptnln nalnbrldge, was captured, without resist- ance, by a decidedly superior British force, James, on English historian, bitterly hos tile to tho Americans, describes tho sur render ns pusillanimous and states that It an English or a French commander had offered so little resistance ho would havo characterized hlra as a coward. " 'Taking James at his word,' Mr. Maclay proceeds to point out two Instances In Jnraeb' histories ono In which a British ship surrendered unresistingly to a superior r'renen lorce and another in which n French ship surrendered to a superior Brit sh force. Yet tho commanders of the captured vessels are not characterized as cowards.

The new fran chise provides: First That tho company Is to pay tho county Jl for the franchise and agrees to file with tho county board within six months complete plats nnd surveys of the lines It proposes to build. If no plats nnd surveys are tiled within six months the company forfeits all rights. The county board Is to approve of or reject tho plats nnd surveys within ono month after same arc filed. Second Within ono year after plats nnd surveys arc npproved the company Is to build and equip at least ten miles of each and every lino and failure to do so forfeits tho franchise.

There are other provisions pcrtnlnlng to tho construction of the road, but they are practically the same as those of the franchise contracts which havo been before the board for some time.

In tabulating bids for tho brick school building and frame hospital to bo added to tho present buildings at the Gonon Indian school, Commissioner Jones has ascertained that J. I). Hermann ot Nor folk, Neb., Is the lowest, having a bid on thn school hulldlnir comnlcte. with heatlne anJ piumi,ng, $23,395. He Is also tho lowest on tho hospital building, Including heating and plumbing, but does not come within tho appropriation mnilo oy congress. Hermann's bid for tho hospital Is 16.430, while tho appropriation calls for me uuuumg to uo tunsuuucu iur o,vu... Commissioner Jones Is doubtful If the In- " an offlco is authorized to accept a bid if tho bids aro over tho direct sum appro Printed by congress. Ho believes (hat tho Treasury department will view tho matter ns ho does and lump tho sum for tho two buildings to bo constructed, In which event Hermann will probably recclvo tho con tract. In many of the bids there wns a failure to tncludo heating nnd plumbing and In tubulating theso It became necessary to draw lines between two bids, necessitating confidences aa to tho policy to be pur sued lu tho presentation ot tho enso to tho comptroller, who will pass upon tho ques tion.
