AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Council men and Citisenj Object to Fire and Folic Fca'd SAY IT WILL BRING USELESS EXPENSE Principle of Home Hale Also Flsmres la Opposition to Governor-Appointed Hoard ! fron the Masle Ctr. South Omaha taxpayers seem to be divided as to the necessity for a tire and police board for this city. It Is deemed absurd m , h(ye , flv, m,mber, lnl(.d t0 g0Tern , than thre( dolen ' n . Trtiripk .nrt Joseph Murphy. J. J. Ryan, Thomas O'Con nor and J. M. Tanner constituted a commit tec which went to Lincoln lest week to protest against the appointment of such a board. Queenan said yesterday that all he objected to was the expense. He said: "In the first place, under the charter amendment, salaries to the amount of not less thsn $100 a yesr would have to be paid to members, then there would be secre tary to be paid $100 a month, next would come office rent, $300; atationery and stamps, $400, and miscellaneous expenses, $150, making a total of $2,500. All this money will have to come out of the tax payers and the people will not be benefited. At the present time the mayor handles tho police and fire departments snd it does not take much of his time, either. In the opinion ot many citizens of South Omaha the appointment ot Are and police board for South Omaha Is a useless expenditure of money." Continuing, Queenan said that the money spent in salaries for an ornamental board could much better be spent In Improving the city's streets or in assisting people who are destitute. It is understood ttat there will be a lively fight made on tho fire and police bill and also on the amend ment to the charter which provides for the appointment of fire and police board. Prominent citizens who were interviewed yesterday asserted that they believed in home government and therefore could not see any reason why the governor of the state should take the government of the Magic City out of the hands of its duly elected officers. Wantlnar More Improvements. About sixty taxpayers in the southeast ern portion of the city have organized a club and meetings are being held at Thir teenth and Harrison atreets. At the last meeting, held on Friday, the secretary of the club was directed to send a nottoe to the mayor and city council requeatlng more water hydrants, more electric lights and the extension of the street car stub line to the Sarpy county line. The members of this club, who reside in the district east ot Twentieth street and south of Wyman street, appear to think they are entitled to soms improvements and they propose to do what they can to get them.- Of course all of the members of the club understand that there is no money on hand now to provide for tho Im provements asked, but they desire that ar rangements be made at the next levy to set aside a little money for them. It will take an Increased levy in the water and lighting funds to give to this portion of the city the improvements suggested, but some say the money will be well apont as this section of the city Is growing rap idly. Those Sewer Bonds, In The Bee of Friday mention wss made of the possibility of the proposition of voting $100,000 for sewer bonds and the inference was that these bonds, if voted, would assist the corporations In building a big sewer to the river. Members of the council say that this is not the intention. The money, if voted at ail, Is to be used for the building of a sewor system in dif ferent parts of the city. The plana for new sewers have been mapped out and In these plans there Is nothing to show that the money. If appropriated, will be used to assist the corporations In building an eight foot sewer from Swift's to the river. The present city officials say that If the atock yards and pack'ng houses want a sewer they are able to build tt themselves with out aid from the city. Magic City Goaalp. Mrs. Fred Cockrell.

Adam and John Forester of Niobrara wers brcught to Omaha yesterday by Deputy United States Marshal James Allan and will be committed to serve sentences Imposed nearly two yesrs ago by Judge Munger after conviction of selling liquor to Indians. Adam Forester waa sentenced to serve year and a day st Sioux Falls penitentiary all(j t0hn Forester to tour months In the Douglas county Jail. Tho case against these parties is peculiar from the fact that the litigation resulting was grester than has ever followed a trial on so trivial a charge in the federal court of this district, hsvlng reached the United States supreme court before the Judgment of Judge Munger could be enforced.
