BACK CLAIMS MUST WAIT ANOTHER MONTH All Past Due Salaries Art Inrladed la Overlap Road Issae ana Wilt Be Paid Out as Proceeds . of Ike Sale. While the fiscal year of South Omaha commences on August 1 and the 130B levy la available, the council will not at Its first meeting In August, pay any claims or back Salaries. Policemen and firemen and other city employes are anxious to get hold jf some money, but these salary claims will not be paid during August. All salaries of city officials are now four months oyer due, while firemen and policemen are eight months behind. These claims were taken care of In the overlap bonds and when the bonds are sold will be paid. In figuring for tha overlap bonds the council included all back claims and salurlcs, and no atten tion will be paid to claims of this kind when the council holds its first meetng of the fiscal year on August 3. Many of the fire men and policemen find it a hard matter to dlHpoae of their time checks, as brokers do not care to run any chances Just now owing to the differences of opinion existing between the mayor and city council and the Fire and Pollco board. A special meeting of the city council Is to be held this evening tor the purpose of receiving bids for the overlap bonds. These bonds will pay 5 per cent Interest, and will run for twenty years with the usual option Oulte a number of inquiries have been made by bond buyers, and it Is expected that there will be some lively bidding to night. Under the charter the bonds must sell at nar and the council hopss to secure a premium. When the bonds are sold it will take a couple of weeks to look over the history of the transaction and the $70,000 will hardly be available before Sep tember 1, when back salaries win oe paia.

Land In Jail After Row with Bride and Groom, After a continued courtship Oeorge Brown and "Dutch" Minnie came to the conclusion that there Is more pleasure In wedded life than single blessedness, and accordingly arrangements were completed for tha celebration of the nuptials. In order . to have everything in accordance with the usages of elite society, It was deemed necessary to have a bridesmaid and groomsman. It was arranged that the bride was to make arrangements for the one and the groom for the other. Minnie chose Mary J. Dunn, who resides at Six teenth and Webster streets; Brown chose Henry Eggert. Yesterday afternoon when the arrangements were completed the' party boarded a car for Council Bluffs where the happy event waa pulled off. On the return to Omaha it waa consid ered only proper to engage in a celebra tion beflting the occasion. Divers and sundry pitchers of the best brew which could be obtained in Omaha were ordered and quickly disappeared down thirsty throats. As time wore on common beer began to take on an aspect of cheapness and tha bride expressed a desire for some thing more substantial in the way . of a beverage. A bottle of whisky was ordered, but this did not entirely fulfill the re quirements of the newly married woman's taste and she expressed a determination of adding a dash of plquance to the flavor of the flowing bowl in the shape of a liberal pinch of cocaine. To this Eggert objected. He was promptly pitched into the street, charged with Interfering with the pleasures of, the occasion. Eggert and Mrs. Dunn were arrested and locked up charged with being drunk and uisturblng the peace. When taken to the je.ll Mrs. Dunn characterised the proceed ings as disgraceful, and Intimated that she had aerved In the capacity of brides maid for the last time.

COERCION LAW IN CHINA Reformat Arretted, While Reaotionarisl Get Official Ear, and Hay Stop Freedom, PEACEFUL CRITICS ' ARE DENOUNCED Offenders Who, In Other Conntrlea, Would Be Honored Are Held Ip - as Daagernas to Dowager Empress. . . . PEKING. July 29.-The Chinamen who are advocating government reforms have been terrorised by the rendoptlon of the old policy of repression as Instanced by the recent arrest at Shanghai of Chinese ed itors on charges of sedition. These ar rests are Interpreted here as Indicating that the extreme conservatives are In the ascendancy and that the government has determined to suppress the freedom of speech which has prevailed since tha up heaval In 1900. The names of forty residents of Peking who are accused of, liberal tendencies were presented to the dowager empress today by the reactionary officials, who recom mended that they be severely punished. Those accused are considered .. guilty of only what. In enlightened countries, would be termed legitimate criticism of the gov ernment. This Is said also to be true of the native journalists Imprisoned at Shanghai, except In the case of two, who suggested the assassination of the rulers as a remedy for Chinese troubles. AH foreigners and progressive Chinamen are deeply Interested In the decision which the ministers will mako on the question of turning over the native editors at Shanghai to Chinese Jurisdiction, and ex press the hope that technicalities concern ing the Jurisdiction of the mixed courts will be Ignored, If necessary, and that the ministers will refuse, on the ground of humanity, to deliver prisoners to the Chi nese for probable torture and execution, as happened In the caRe of the Chinese spies turned over at Shanghai during the Japanese war. Prince Chlng la reported to favor len iency. At the examinations recently held at Peking for the selection of officials many of the candidates departed from the usual custom of writing merely scholarly essays and submitted papers favoring Im provements in the government. The dowager empress is said to blame the reformers and the Increasing freedom of speech for the disorders In the south,' hence the repressive measure.

Her husband, who Is a. barber working In the Exchange building In South Omaha, when questioned, admitted that he and his wife had some words early in the evening. She seemed to be in a happy frame of mind, however, after the difficulty was over, Tha Hunters, together- with several other roomers fn the house, went out and had some Ice cream, after whlcH Mrs.' Hunter retired.' Her husband went' ud later to go to bed. He spoke to his wife when he en, tered the room but she did not reply. When the lleht waa turned on he saw that hhe was sick and telephoned to the itatlon for doctor. Mr. Hunter said that his wire had formerly' been In the habit" Of using morphine, but that she had not used it for some .time, and he thought she might have taken an overdose by accident. The usual restoratives were applied and the woman soon rallied. Dr. schleler thinks she will be entirely recovered within a day or two.

During the period of target practice In which the police force has been Indulging lately the reporters on the various papers have been furnishing printers' ink fbr the purpose of making targets. A quantity of this Ink was carried to the station on stereotype paper yesterady. Turnkey Kirk took the paper Into the cell room for some purpose and laid it down near a cell which contained several prisoners. There was an immediate scramble to obtain possession of it. Mr. Kirk was in the dark as to why ths Daper was desired by the prisoners. After it. had been thoroughly examinea Dy them one of the number pushed it through the bare and said it was no good. He was asked what he thought it was and re plied that he believed It to be dope. The printers' Ink which had adhered to the card innked like a preparation of opium which seems to be much in, favor among the flends " They thought It had neen securea in a raid on some opium 'Joint Called tp at Midnight.

SUGAR TRADE DISCUSSED Parlitmsnt Fui OonTtntiim Bill's laooad Heading bj Good Majority. CHAM8ERLAIN DEFENDS THE MEASURE tholee Declared to Ut Between Pro hlhltloa nnd Ceaatervalllag Dntlea It West Indies Are to Be Saved. LONDON, July N.-The House of Com mons today passed the second reading of the Sugar Convention bill by 224 to Hi. In the course of the debate Mr. Chamber lain said: For twenty years we have tried to secure the voluntary abandonment of bounties, and It was only when we changed our pol icy and suggested retaliation that we se sured the object for which we struggled so long, snd so escaped a condition of things under which Germany and Austria would be abla to regulate the price of sugar In Great Britain. Mr. Chamberlain said he believed the bill would not Increase the price of sugar, but by giving greater stability to the trade would benefit the West Indies. Referring to the possibility of losing the American market, he said: If we had onlv treated tha West Indies fairly there Is no reason why they should not now be supplying us with the greater part of our demand. The government has a choice between prohibition and counter vailing duties. He believed prohibition the simplest plan. but should It become necessary ha would take the opinion of Parliament on the question of countervailing duties. Mr. Chambtrlaln did not touch directly on the fiscal question, but Incidentally remarked: We are on the eve of a rrent eennnmin fight and it behooves everybody to keep cool as long as possible and not turn en economic Into a personal fight.

Schuster, at a meeting of the Union bank of London, limited, today made a lengthy reference to the British fiscal controversy which met with the approval of a large gathering of city men.
