afternoon ninny of them came to tho meet

had lifon amlcnhly fettled by the railroad

however, vaa on hand last night to let
the, council know that this wns not thj

Jonrned meeting at 2 o'clock this after
noon nt which the entire affair will he
thoroughly ventilated ami n declbloii

kiro affected.
Messrs. Iloye. Tro.tle;r and President

Ins thoy could not attend at that time. A
resolution wan then presented . Instructing
Mr. Karr to bo present, lin alone voted
ngalnst It and announced that the motion

pealed from, however, and overwhelmed.
Old O rill it it ii cp Aicalli.
The lait rcverhenitloii of the stir of
battln came in the shape of an ordinance,
introduced by Mr, Zlmman, which promises
to proclpltatp a now conflict' before It
gets through tbo regular channels of pas
sage and approval. It Is a repetition of
thn same measure which started nil the
trouble a year nnd a half ago, allowing
the Chicago, St. I'hiiI. Minneapolis .
Omaha road to lay, operate and maintain
trackngn along Klghth street between
Jlownrd and Knrnani streets.
This Is Just what the Uurllugton does
tot want. A (similar permluHlon granted
jnany months ago was rescinded a few
days afterward, hut not until the road had
Its tracka laid. All parties concerned ex
poet a big light when the matter cornea up
(or final passage.
A unanimous vote gave tho Union Pa
cific road permission to reconstruct Its
Viaduct over Thirteenth htrect, the change
being the use of tcntrnl columns placed
In the middle of the street, which will
make two mans where there Is now but
one. Thin alteration Is In accordance with ,
? general ennnge noing inauguraieu uy
hat road, In which It Is enlarging all Us
bridges necessary In order to mnke them
capable of carrying Just double their prcs
tut capacity.

Kdward A. Kimball of Chicago, a mem
ber of tho board of lecturers sent out by
the Christ church, Scientist, of Boston, lec
tured at the !)od theater last night to a'
crowded house. Tho speaker was Introduced
by Mr. Clarence t'hadwltk. lie look for hi,
subject "The Cause und Scientific Cure of
Disease."
Tho speaker explained at length the belief
of the Christian Scientists. "Christian Sci
ence." ho sold, "has been misrepresented.
It Is n religion. There nro ISO religious
denominations In tho country today Biid we
arc one of them. We believe In Clod: we
believe In prayer; we accept the sculptures
as containing th Inspired word of Clod.
Wo Hrc Just ordinary people like any other
denomination. (Ind Is Infinite wisdom and
knowledge. He Is good and the power of
good and Ho has done all tilings well."
Tho speaker believed that nearly all dis
eases are caused by Ignoranre, superstition,
false belief and sin. nnd located causation
In the mental realm Instead of the material.
He said: "The ordinary human Is educated to
fear from his very babyhood He Is taught ta
fear what be eats and drinks, the cold and
tho heat: he fears to exercise and fears to
be Inactive." When sickness comes It Is tho
result of the mental, not the material.
The speaker spoke of the many diseases
which have been pronounced Incurable by
the physicians of tho world. "What tboy
mean," be nald. "Is that they cannot euro
them. This unnecessary mipposltlon that
one Is amlcted with an Incurable disease
often Insures the speedy decline nnd col
lapse, of the patient If. according to Chris
tlan Science, the deplorable fear nbout fatal
diseases should subside, the Improved men
tal stnto which would ensue would Instantly
Improve health and prolong life"
Tbo speaker then Informed bis hcarcra
"not to bo nfrald of things that now worried
them: not to be afraid of what they ate; of
overwork, lose of sleep or a draught of air;
Insanity or nervous prostration." The lec
ture continued for two hours and was lis
tened to attentively by the largo audience.

The dlscuslon of the I'lattsmouth Tele
phono company's franchise ordinance was
the principal topic at tho meeting of the
council last night. As on Monday night
there was u good attendance, a great many
coming out of curiosity to sen If thcro
would be n repetition of tho Indecorous pro
ceedings of Monday night. From start to
finish the meeting was harmonious. After
roll call, to which all members responded,
tho mayor, who occupied the chair, called
for tho regular order of business. Under
the head of petitions the city clerk read the
following.
To tho .Mayor and City Council of South
Omaha. nu, undersigned rltlxens of
South Omaha, do hereby respectfully peti
tion your liuliorablo body to refuse to puss
an ordinandi granting tt franchise over all
streets, alleys and public grounds of our
young ami growing city to the Plattsntouth
or Hestnrn lxjiig-Distance Telephone coin
puny. This ordinance is a Jug handle
proposition which Is not In the Interest of
our city. If your honorable body wants to
protect the Interests of tlm taxpayers tho
ordluunco will be turned down. Wo most
respectfully petition that you do so.
II. C. HoHtwick, cashier of tho South
Omaha National bank, headed tho petition
and wns followed by Frank J. Morlarty,
cashier of tho Packers' National bank-,
Colonel James G. Martin of tho LIvo Stock
exchange, Hyors Hros., tho Clifton Com
mission company nud many business men.
The petition contained 600 names, a groat
many being patrons of tho present tele
phone system. After the petition had been
rend It was examined by members of the
council nnd then placed on file.
Martin then reported on tho Plattsmouth
ordinance, nnd recommended that his re
port bo adopted. In this ho was seconded
by Miller. Johnston objected, ns ho said
that section f.9 of tho chnrter provided
that franchise ordinances must bo pub
lished two weeks prior to the second and
third readings. No action was taken on
Johnston's amendment, but Adklns Jumped
Into tho arena with a motion to refer the
ordinance to tho city attorney with In
structions to draft an ordinance for tho
Plattsmouth company which would pro
tect tho rights of tho city. This motion
was seconded by Johnston and was car
ried. All of the members seemed to bo
satisfied with this arrangement.
City Attorney Lambert, who was pres
ent, spoko for a few moments on the mat
tor, saying that as thero seemed to bo
some differences of opinion among the
council ho asked that tho members meet
with him ami suggest what was needed.
Ho further said that tho ordinance as U
now stands does not meet with his ap
proval, as it does not protect tho city in
nny way. This practically closed the
meeting, as only a little routine business
was transacted. An adjournment was
taken until next Monday night.
Iniliistrlt-s .ol Airrclalril.
Tho attention of the South Omaha Com
mercial club Is called to tho fact that tho
Wilcox company of Haltlmore has prac
tically withdrawn Its patronage from this
city. Ever since tho packing Industry
started hero the Wilcox company has been
engaged in pulling bristles and drying
hair. ! or a number of years no protest
was made nbout tho location of the hair
fields, but within the last few years pro
tests havo been Hied with tbo council
against tho maintenance of hair fields.
Tho Wilcox company has been driven from
ono part of tho city to another, from the
city limits ou the west to the river on the
cast. Finally a year or so ago a patch of
ground was secured In Sarpy county for
tho drying of tho bristles, but tho peo
plo objected and the hair company was
compelled to move ngaln. Yesterday the
Wilcox company gao notice to Its hcvcn
bristle pullers here that tho company had
abandoned this field and would no longer
attempt to take caro of this trado. This
Is tbo brlstlo tieasoii, as during the winter
mouths tho best bristles are taken from
hogs. There Is no drying In tho winter,
the bristles being packed In barrels and
dried during tho summer. By tho order
Issueil yesterday boven men drawing 12
a week and living here aro thrown out of
employment. All of the men who formerly
worked in the drying fields will bo com
pelled to seek other positions. One or two
brlstlo pullers aro still employed at tho
Omaha plant, but, as there has been many
complaints nbout this, the work Is apt to
bo discontinued nt nny time.
During Mayor Knsor's administration the
council granted a right to tho Wilcox
company to dry hair on a patch of ground
near the river, but constant protests com
pelled Uio rescinding of tho order, nl
though there was no house within a quar
ter of a mile of the field. Tho packers
will now bo compelled to hlp their bris
ties to points where there Is no opposition
to this Industry.

Mayor Kelly said yesterday that hs
thought it would be advisablo for the coun
cil to advertise for bids for a slto for tho
proposed Carnegie library, ny advertis
ing at this time tho mayor hoped to se
cure blila lower than tho amount of bonds
voted. Ho thinks that possibly a suitablo
slto can bo secured for perhaps $3,500.
Not until a site is decided upon will the
bonds be Issued and then only for tho
amount to bo paid for tho property. Thlh
work will go forward rapidly now, as it Is
desired that everything bo mado ready for
tho construction of the building In tho

promises to have a very prosperous season
next year. Much of the litigation which
has hindered tho development of tho gold

of Omaha, who has Just returned from
Nomo City after having spent two years
In tho frozen north. "Thcro aro S.000 poo

"During tho last summer coal was dis

miles of tho town. This year coal will be
only $40 a ton In Nome. Last winter It

"Prospectors nre now scattered all nlnng

When asked to glvo a description of tho
country along tho Alaskan coast In the
vicinity of Nome Olty. Mr. Iler. said:
"Thero Is no timber near Nome City. Tho

nearly three miles to the foothills. Within
a few miles of the coast mountnlns of con
siderable size are found, but they nro tree
less and do not appear ns largo as moun

of driftwood, which Is found along tho coast.
It Is not known who tho r this wood grow
