"I must decline ts talk politics," said
Senator Cullom, "hut am at your service
on any other subject. The president has
not yet issued a rail for an extra session
of congress, but he will doubtless do so.
Xt now looks as If the extra session may be
called for Nor em her I, although there Is a
prospect of Its being called about a month
earlier. Ths president nay not call It

however, that I am opposed to asset cur

of Indiana has said that be does not want
lb nomination. Vnless there ia some bic
unlooknd-for political revolution, Indiana ia
safe for the republican ticket. As for the
democratic candidate for tbs presidency
the party Is still at sea. They have some
food timber In Cleveland, Gorman and
Olney. There seems so little cohesion In
tbs democratic party Just now that It will
not be abls ts do much, snd tbs leaders
are only waiting- for sums issue that they

help him. It will give bin a. big lift with
the democracy. Ha Is not going to carry
Ohio. I bavs not the remotest Idea who

1 am disposed to think that tb Colom

" a Question of money with them. The
United fits tes will not acquiescs In any
' measure that will relinquish Its territorial
and civil rights over tbs canal strip, and
1 think that the matter will b adjusted to
the complete satisfaction of ths United

the canal as bad as ws do."

INSPECT THE NEW THEATER
OoeBTlaaT oecptlosi at the Krva- At
tended by Lsurgo Throng of
loteroetow People-
If a Jam is any evidence, then the open
ing reception at the new Krug theater
last night was a complete success. Iuring
the entire time from until 10 o'clock
the bouse was thronged with well-dreseed
men and women, all bent on Inspecting the
arrangements of the latest addition to ,
Omaha a places of amusement. And In
sject it they did. from ths front entrance
of tbs handsome lobby to the uttermost
corner of the upper gallery floor. Jt was
with some difficulty gJiat Mr. Judah was
abl te con vino the crowd that the stage
was not open for visitors, or the mysteries
baok of the scenes would have been ex
plored aa thoroughly and systematically
as the appointments Intended for the com
fort and accommodation of the public.
All evening long a throng moved through
the brilliantly lighted lobby, oommenting
on the way concerning the taste exhibited
In the provision of this beauti
ful approach to th theater proper.
Inside ths seats were filled al
though tbs occupants wars continually
changing, while the visitors listened te ths
numc fend examined by detail the arrange
ment and decoration of the t-udltorium.
All that bad been promised for the Interior
has been realised, and th exclamations
of satisfaction and delight were general.
The warm tones of the walla and celling
blend perfectly Is ths color scheme, and
th simple decorations of ths proscenium
arch and the panels so perfectly enhance
tbs effect under the lighting aa to produce
Just what waa aimed at a restful feeling
of luxurious ease and home-like comfort.
The music for the evening was furnished
by tbs bouse orchestra, seated on the
stage. Not an extra Instrument was added.
It being the desire to show the visitors Just
what they may expect when the house la
opened for business. And It Is only saying
a littls.to say that th orchestra Is a good
one.
Mr. Jadan and Mr. Gonden were very
busy all evening looking after their guests
and explaining ts Inquirers points about
th house. Mr. Judah expressed himself
as very well pleased with the outlook and
again said he wanted th Omaha public
to know that th Krug theater la to be
conducted on a strictly high grade basis,
a place jo! amusement for the people, where
wives and children may be sent in security.
The al of seats for the opening, per
formance on Monday evening has been
very good. Arrangements have not been
completed for to formalities of the open
ing yet, but a abort program will be
adopted for the occasion, which swill be
announced later. As for tb attraction. It
will be on of the regular bookings of ths
house for the season.

OMAHA. Aug. r To the Editor of Th
Bee: A few days ago aa article appeared
In The Bo suggesting ths employment of
th city prisoners at cutting weeds white
waiting for the rock pile to accumulate.
Th first evening X was In Omaha, twenty
seven ysara ago. I read an article In The
Be on the stone yard Question. Most
every year sine then soma councilman,
new In offlea, by resolution, started to re
form the morals of Omaha and crush out
crime by erecting n high board fenoe
around to stone pile and putting lall th
prisoners ia the city Jail t work breaking
stone for repairs to th down town street
But resolutions of thia kind always die at
th meeting that gave them birth. The
enclosures prove political fences and ths
prisoner. Ilka th brook, "flows on for
ever." A few yeaa ago (alter tb Poor
murder) aa Indignation meeting was called
At this meeting Dr. Miller presided. Reso
lutions were passed condemning tb crime
that shacked the souses of every law and
order-loving dtisen of Omaha. Ths reso
lutions were given ts a urn mitt ap
pointed by the chairman, ts report at a
meeting te be called soon after. Tb meet
ing has never been bold and the committee
si not yet ready t report, and this la th
history of all rock pile resolutions. A tew
evenings age I attended a meeting of th
Omaha View Improvement club and part
of the way to tb arhool nous I could
hardly find the sidewalk, the weeds wer
growing so high on either side of ths walk,
and at! over the vacant lota tb stench
waa simply offensive. Chickena. cats and
dogs ret lost and ds there, and sometime,
are thrown In there and left te poison the
air under a broiling sun. In a few days the
rUldren will be on their way to school
and are they te risk their health and their
Uvea, and perhaps assaults from designing
persons bid in those weeds, while their
parent are taxed te aupp-jrt thieves, bouse
breakers, sandbaggers and hoboes in Jail?
Should tbry not be compelled te ds so-n
work In return for the pre'ectlon given
them by the city government? Let the
mayor and city council call off thia ancient
rock I'll gabble and cleaa up tb outlying
street and walks leading ts all our cheol

In a strong, manly voice. It was not for
the safety of the reckliss youngster, as
had all along been supjiooed. bl that she
might hear; and when she passed the
ticket out It was not the wearisome duty
which we thought it at the time, for ah
knew her the pasteboai-ds went, and
each was a message of moaning. So there
waa a quiet little wedding at the park
last night, of which the crowd first be
came aware as the bride passed through
the court, and George W. Porter And
Theresa Henrici wer given the order of
the double harne.
The bride 1 the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Henrici of Chicago, who have been
pending the summer at the park. Mr.
Henrici is a brother of the millionaire
caterer in Chicago and was the initiator
of that large business. Tbey came west
with Mr. Cole In the spring and win soon
return te their home. Mr. Henrici forty
years age lived In this city. Miss Henries
became the cashier of the merry-go-round
and there met Porter, who had oven In
charge of the amusement machine for
three years. The engagement was an
nounced three weeks ago, and when Mr.
Cole heard of tt he proposed that the mar
riage be solemnised at the hum of the
parents In th park and this was done.
Judge Vlnsonhaler officiating.
At W o'clock the park band struck up
Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," and the
bride, with Miss Da. In trom, entered the

awaited, and under a -canopy of American
flags the service was performed. Frank

lias th city council tb right to trans
act any business eacepl by formal ordi
nance? Attorney "W. A. teBord says It has not,
He has raised this point so one of the prin
cipal reason why asphalt repairs should
not be mad under a contract awarded to
th Barber Asphalt company. According
to his argument, made before Judge Day
yesterday afternoon, several thousand and
on matters that th various councils have
disposed of by mere resolution, concurrent
or "plain," since the first council was or
ganised, were handled contrary te law.
Ths contention of the a'.eorney Is that
the charter specifically authorises tbs
council to do certain thing by ordinance,
but provide no other mode of accomplish
ing business, stating explicitly that no ex
ception will be made unless specifically pro
vided. "I challenge anyone to disprove thia
statement." be said in court. "The word
resolution Is mentioned in the charter but
ence, but In no place is authority given te
th council to proceed by resolution. All
it acts must be carried -out through th
dignified and solemn ordinance. The coun
cil cannot do business as It pleases, accord
ing to numerous court decisions, but must
set in a definite way as authorized t d
by the power creating it"
Beselettee the Rale.
The rule with the Omaha council has been
to award contracts, order the expenditure
of money and, in fart, transact all ordinary
business by resolution, concurrent and re-
auiring signature by the mayor when to-
volvins- monev. and "nlaln when not. Br
this means an set could be consummated
at a single meeting. Instead of requiring
two sessions en diSerent Aaya, as ordi
nances demand.
Judge Day's decision Is anxiously watted.
The case pend'ng Is tb Injunction suit
brought by an agent of the Kenranra Bi-
tultir.le company te restrain the city from
proceeding under a cor tract for asphalt
repairing awarded te th Barber Asphalt
company by concurrent resolution.
Attorneys for the plaintiff hold that one
of the reason why the injunction should
lssu ia that th proposals exacted pledged
the bidder te furnish a surety company
bxd for the amount of the undertaking
involved, and that the mayor and council
have not the right to exercise Boca discre
tion, as opposed to a personal bond signed
by tw resident freeholder.
The arguments will be finished today, but
a decision Is not looked Tor Immediately.
