It was tha Intention lo hold a rce'lng of
ba Klra anl 1'ollre hoard laat night, but
e itaenct from the itty of Chairman Van
Ml mads II out of tha qneetlon. Mr. Vari
ant la at Clarlnda, 1. When ha left ha us
ected lo tn home today, ao that a meeting
light la hold tonight, lmjulry at tha Vali
ant houaa last night brought forth tha In
trmatlon that Mr. Vattsant ti"t .
clad burnt until Thursday night or Sutur
hy morning. '
Secretary Ibirgqulut of tha board said that
rveral matters of Importance were pending
fed that It waa possible special rorr-tlng
light ba called to attend to these matters
an If Chairman Tanaant waa not present,
tniocg tha Items of speclnl Importance to
looked after waa tha recommending to
fca oily council the Installation of a number
I patrol boxes. Another la tha filling of a
cency In tha fire detriment. W. W.
rendall, who la stationed at No. I firs
pusa, has tendered hia resignation, to taka
ffeot November L Mr. Ilergu,ulst thinks
kls vacancy should ba filled aa soon as poa
tMa. Jn tha matter of entering Into a rontrart
tr patrol bo zee all the Fire and lollee
sard can do la to recommend to tha cnun-
that the contract bo made. For ynnrs
fee city haa naeded a system of this sort to
ander It certain tba officers were on tholr
sata at all time.
There la anything but ' concord In tha
Bard at tha present time. For a long time
fee members hare been flghtlng among
fcemeslrea Each one wants to be tines, re
ardlsss of the faot that Vanaant was
looted chairman. The members give orders
pthout consulting the chairman or mnrur
k sanction, and this has engendered hard
Mings. Mr. Nolan appears to be trying to
e the .firemen and the policeman for polit
tal purposes, while Vanaant wants the
lea to go ahead and rote as they please
Bd keep out of politics. When there Is a'
Ohio meeting of the board It la likely that
rvere win ba some lively conversation on
us subject. i
May Change Roadway.
Whea the question came up In the city
puncll about paring Railroad avenue City
tngtneer Heal found upon Investigation
hat tha present roadway waa not the orlgl
ail road laid oat, so the council directed
hat the old lines be staked out. This hat
pen done. It Is found that the original
Bad would run through the Louis Brad
rd lumber yard. The Bradford people
p not ear about this and have expressed
i willingness to move fifty feet toward
be Union Paclflo tracks providing the city
fill maintain the old road. The only real
I (Teres ee In tha road to the county line
Mil be that tha jog In the road will ba
g the Half Way house, Instead of at Mor-
Ill's feed store. Old maps on file at the
Ounty surveyor's oCloe . In Omaha have
on Inspected and' these show that the
g waa formerly at the Half Way housu.
Iradually tha road drifted toward the rail
bad tracks. Now that there Is a chance
para this thoroughfare It Is deemed
soessary to get tha lines straightened
at and this has been done.

the showman,, "but see, mother woulda't

an awful big eat though and gets real sar
age In the cage when wa feed ber lira
birds."
Thus spoke one of the spellers who have
been ao very busy since last Saturday morn
ing keeping business lively In the street
fair which has been running since that
time In tha barn of Judge Lake on Dodge
street.' Tha surprising exhibition of which
tha general publlo waa unaware closed
yesterday after a most suocessful season,
which haa enabled tha small proprietors.
Lake Deuel, grandson of Judge Lake, and
Fred Heyn to start bank aooounta.
Tha admission waa 1 cant for children and
I oenfea for adults when unaooompaniad by
nurses. Tha barn, which does not differ
materially from other stables which hare
unencumbered bay tofts, also did not pre
sent any aigna of unusual Ufa from tba
outside, but when once you dodged the
family carriage and finished tha stairs, a
blase of amusing holiday environment re
paid ths gate money In one good laugh.
"Two shots for a penny," spelled ona of
tba small showman from tha air rifle gal'
lory. "Come get two p rises." He did not
add that tha sights of tha rifle had Tm
tampered with ao that It shot a lltUe high.
Saturday two boys were kept busy loading
riOes, but on Monday tba supply of avail

mothers positively refused to go down town

"Polar Bears, Dangerous," waa tba glar
ing scroll over a cage In which whistled
two small white guinea pigs. Where Rep

looking hat-rack alligator and a little ona of
tha sort which sometimes adorn tha library
tables. Tbeaa were In a cage also. The
Bengal-tlgar-puasy-oat waa fed at each per
formance on live birds until ten or twelve
had been consumed. Fourteen small kfl
tena would have made vary fair leopards
and lived up to the blU. but tha children
persisted In carrying them away. A tldjr
little canary bird was on tha placards for
a great American eagle with wing-spread
of sevsn and one-half feet.
"Three rings (curtain rings) for ona cent
and a good prise cheap," called attention
to the ring rack, from which the elder
brother of the proprietor waa barred be

BISMARCK. N. D., OoL XI A new irriga
tion congress, primarily a state organisa
tion Indirectly affecting tha northwest, waa
formed here today, and while only a pre
liminary organisation waa formed, James J.
Hill, president of tha Northern Securities
company, delivered an ad drees. A letter
from Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota
on the subject of Irrigation waa read and O.
H. Plumely presented tha report of tha
delegates from Ogden, showing tha ad van
tagea which accrued to the waste places of
Utah and other states from Irrigation. Tha
report urged tha convention to work In
every war possible for the expenditure of
North Dakota'a Irrigation fund within tha
border of the state.
After come discussion tha delegates ad
lourn ed for lunch and afterward assembled
to hear tha address of Mr. H01, who spoke
in part as follows:
Now. here Is the msterlal rrnwth of the
northwest: Tn 18KZ we moved 1 007.000 tens of

Mr. Hill then went Into tha matter of
freight tariffs to show that the people of
this state were better off than In many
other states supposed to ba better favored.
and aaid:
I took up the schedule of one of these
lines eouth of us: one of the lines that

"Well, what are yon doing to the opposi
tion?" waa tha queen ion asked Chairman
Cowell of the repub'Joaa county committee
yesterday murning.
"Opposition." repeated the chairman.
Tea. I have heard that word before, but
there lan't any definition of It In this cam
paign. We are working for our ticket and
arranging so that nil republicans will rota
or It, but offensive tactics have not made
themselves necessary. Really, we do not
now that thore Is any opposition."
The chairman's words expreae the exact
feeling of all republicans who take oora
alon to drop Into headquarters and report
the sentiment of the voters with whom they
soma tn contact.
The campaign has developed tha fact that
tha democrats bare no. hope of pulling
through their ticket and are converging
their efforts upon three men for whom they
hold a furtive promise of re-election. They
re Broadwell, Power and Drexel, each of
them having an Influential faction of their
own party against them. IJthographs of
ths Broadwell and power features have
been posted broadcast In South Omaha and
the river wards, while tha other candidate.
have been allowed to go with their like
nesses un pictured.
The real feeling among the un terrified.
however. Is thst they are already whipped.
A desperate effort Is being made to get out
tha very backward registration with poor
results thus far. Tba managers admit thai
tha republicans of ths county are united
and Intent upon polling the fun party
strength and agree that never before baa
the organisation been so compact and single-minded.
Another straw which shows the approach
f the simoon that Is to bury tha .demo
crat! o ticket this fsll. according to close
observers of local politics, la tha dearth
of tha filthy but aheoltrtely necessary coin
In the demorratlo treasury. It la said
that the committee tacka funds to carry
on tha mere buslneaa transactions of ths
campaign and that tha sole contribution
reoelred la tha personal check of Con
gressman Hitchcock for a sum not men
tioned. It haa been tha aama with the
state organization of tha democracy funds
that were confidently expected hare not
materialised because the donors concluded
It was poor policy ta throw away good
money.

be cast In the November election than

Tha democratic managera have practically
