SLATE ALL READY FOR VOTE
Countj Commissioners Dearly 8acced in
Making Appintaetts.
KENNARD BLOCKS IMMEDIATE PASSAGE
Prfiritrd hr Branlna;, Wlin
Mores Aetontloa of List, nut
the Chairman, Aided by
Ilofeld, Urcirri Delay.
Affsr .much wrangling and vexation cf
oplrlt the republican majority of the county
board yesterday afternoon got to th polr.t
of votlna; on th appointments they have
to make but they did not vote.
When, after much caucusing:, tha four
. majority members entered the room at the
conclusion of a reoeaa which was to con
tinue for an hour and was In session longer
Commissioner Hofeldt. tired of waiting,
moved an adjournment. As he wna not In
terested to any eitent In deriding the ques
tions confronting the majority, at leant so
far as his vots went, his motion got no
second.
Commissioner Urunlng was recognized
and presented the following list of ap
pointments: fhiperlntendent of County Hospital nnd
Poor Farm J. H. Olassman.
Superintendent of County Building W. H.
Bhoup.
Keeper of County Store Samuel Holt.
County Auditor Robert Smith.
Deputy Auditor and Clerks C. J. Farrell,
John Innls. A. H. Farrier.
Altant County I'hyslcian Dr. J. C
Davis.
Day Watchman at County Hospital
James Callaway: matron, Mrs. Galloway.
Janitors County Court House Anton Ve
oah. Fred llloomer, Tom Foy, Tom
Wheeler, M. Clark.
Mat Will Lie Over.
As soon as the list had been read and
Mr. Brunrng had moved Its adoption. Chair
man Kennard vacated the chair In favor
of Commissioner Hofeldt. Then Kennard
moved thnt the list lay over for one week,
as that hid been the customary procedure
heretofore-. He also thought the rules pro
vided fo;- that course.
Commissioner TraJnor took Issue with the
chairman of the board and held that no
rules had been adopted by the new board.
Temporary Chairman Hofeldt got Into the
game with the declaration that he would
hold the old rules as governing until new
ones were adopted. When Urunlng took ex
ception to this ruling Hofeldt came back
with the assertion that he would hold It
required a two-thirds vote to get Imme
diate action. And there they were, in an
aggravating tangle In a Jiffy.
McDonald noes With Kennedy.
For a minute or two It seemed like there
would be music In the air, hut Commis
sioner McDonald moved Into the center of
the stage nnd said he would recognize the
custom referred to by Chairman Kennard.
As the latter needed a second for his mo
tion to delay a week McDonald's action put
Tralnor and Pruning Jn a minority, for if
called on to decide a tie there was not much
doubt as to how Hofeldt would have voted.
Whatever the facts may be as to the
doings In secret caucuses the proceedings
In open session left little doubt that Com
missioners Pruning, McDonald and Tralnor
had reached an agreement to vote for the
slate presented. If they stick to their de
termination it will, of course, go throiiRh.
That Chairman Kennard has not aban
doned hope of defeating at least part of It
Is Indicated by his tactics to secure a delay
In confirming the men selected.
No candidate was presented for county
, physician, the position now held by Dr. I,ee,
and he will probably be allowed to serve
-until the expiration of his terrri. Dr. Davis,
named for assistant. Is to succeed Dr. A. I.
White.
At the county hospital and poor farm
there Is a change of program from the rule
heretofore followed that the superintend
ent's wife should be matron. As the man
elected for superintendent Is unmarried
the wife of the day watchman Is to have
the place, and the salary, J:'5 a month, if
' the Brunlng slate goes through.
Air of Dejected Determination.
At 3:30 the four republican county com
missioners filed Into the board room from
a committee room, after a two hour caucus
on the four appointments to be made. The
commissioners look serious, tired and
Just a trifle vexed. The large crowd that
had been patiently awnltlng their decis
ion could see at a glance that no agree
ment had been reached. There was not a
sign cf that bouyant. glad-lt'a-over air
that men wear when they have finished a
disagreeable Job.
: Commissioner Hofeldt,, the lone demo
crat on the board, had not been Invited to
the caucus, but had waited with the candi
dates and the curious ones on the outside.

He noted the looks on the faces of his col
leagues as they came from the committee
room, and his smile was peaceful and
bland but unite expensive.
When called to order the board proceeded
to pass the monthly pay rolls and to tran
sact a few other Items of purely routine
business. At the conclusion of the last
roll call came a pause during which ' a
shiver of nervousness could almost be felt
throughout the room. Then Commissioner
Tralnor rose and consulted with Chairman
Kennard. as he had with Brunlng and
McDonald earlier. Oolng back to his seat.
Tralnor moved that the board take a recess
for one hour.
Spectators Get Basy.
Everybody looked at the clock as with
one accord. It pointed to the figure 4, and
"Oh, h 1, that means 8 o'clock and no-
thln' doln' " ejaculated a disappointed, spec
tator. Then the comment and conversa
tion broke loose In earnest, much of It not
fit for publication. The clans Jumped In
to buttonhole their friends on the board
before the latter should again retire to
the caucus room.
"When you want something or when you
have something to give away In politics
you always have trouble," opined one phil
osopher from the river wards ns he edged
his way into the hallway and lighted a
cigarette.
The big bunch of citizens Interested in
politics broke up into small groups. liach
of these had a spokesman who knew Just
exactly what was causing the hitch that
was deferring the turning over of the four
good things to the republican aspirants
or, at least, to four out of the many who
were seeking to gather them In. And to
hear some gentlemen talk It aeemed like
a cinch that they will do fearful things to
somebody In the next campaign.
It was at this point that the commis
sioners came In for the session which
brought Commissioner Hofeldt to the chair
and resulted In adjournment without ac
tion. The bonrd adjourned to 10 o'clock
Saturday morning.
NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT OFFER
City Asked to Graat a Franchise to a
Company Organised Vnder
New Jersey Laws.
A proposition for an electric light, heat
and power franchise from the Electric De
velopment and Securities company of New
Jersey has been received by Acting Mayor
Zlmman, who will submit It to the council
tonight. It Is proposed to enter Into a con
tract to supply the city with 1,200 street
lamps, superior to those now used,, at $
each per year, the contract to run for ten
yarn. Current for commercial lighting Is
promised 20 per cent cheaper than now
sold, and for power purposes at a reduction
of io per cent for motor of ten-horse power
or less and 5 per cent for larger ones. Ten
months' time is asked to get the plant In
operation. The proper bond Is offered to
guarantee carrying out the contract In case
a franchise is awarded.
This clause appears: "We will agree to
pay to the city a reasonable percentage of
our gross receipts and In addition thereto
pny $10,ono for a franchise on terms equal
to that granted to the Omaha Light nnd
Power company. This sum of money to he
paid over to the city treasurer for use and
benefit of the city when a legal franchise Is
duly executed."
It Is set forth thnt the company la con
ducting n plant at Minnesota City to supply
electricity for Winona. Minn., and other
places.
The communication Is signed by O. K.
Itonta as president. He formerly was a
constructing engineer in the employ of the
General Electric company.
"We are not surprised that an applica
tion for a new franchise la to be made,"
said a man closely connected with the
Omaha Electric Light and rower company.
"Mr. Bonta was here about two months
ago .accompanied by two other men, I be
lieve from New Jersey. At that time
Bonta announced that he proposed to es
tablish an electric light and power com
pany In Omaha and compete with us for
business. Of course we have had an eye
on him and his movements since. He called
upon us whll? he was here.
"Bonta spent several months In Omaha
In 1903 superintending the reconstruction at
our power plant. He was then in the em
ploy of the General Electric company, but
later, I understand, severed his connection
with that concern."
As the contracts of the city for electric,
gas and gusollne street lighting expire
simultaneously at the end of the year no
difficulty would be encountered in making
arrangements for services from ' a new
company for 1906, and the future, If It had
a franchise to do business.
Councllmen and other city officers, with
th exception of Acting Mayor Zlmman,
have no information concerning the new
company or Its desire for a local franchise.
EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY LAW
Fellow Servants Measure to Be Of
fered the Present Legislature
for Its Inspection.
Another attempt to have a fellow-servant
law enacted by the legislature. Copies of
the bill, which conforms closely to the Colo
rado luw. have been prepared by Attorney
J. P. Breen and will bo sent to a Douglas
county representative to Introduce. The act
makes It Incumbent upon all corporations
to assume the responsibility of officers and
employes with respect to the safety and se
curity of other employes. Every state in
the union, with the exception of Nebraska,
has some such law. It Is said. Recently the
United States supreme court decided that
In states having laws on the subject the
federal courts should be governed by them
and disregard the practice there of assum
ing the responsibility to He with the officer
or employe and not with the employer In
case of personal Injury or accident. In the
past the railroads have defeated this kind
of legislation at Lincoln.
A second proposed law drafted by At
torney Preen is one that seeks to prevent
foreign insurance companies or foreign fra
ternal Insurance organizations from taking
state cuses into the federal courts. To do
this means cancellation of the right to
transact business In "Nebraska, according to
the bill. After several efforts Illinois placed
a statute on its bortVa to this effect that
has stood the test. It Is alleged that cer
tain companies by resorting to the federal
i courts have abused the privilege and used
u to tneir profit by inducing plaintiffs to
settle for amounts less than their claims
rather than be put to the expense of trav
eling long distances with witnesses to ap
j pear In court.

INTEREST IN SAN D0M1NC0
Omaha e Watch the OoTnimet RevoWe
With Borne Apprehension.
CONCESSION THAT IS IN MUCH DANGER
Harbor Improvements at Romano to
Be Bnllt by Local Capitalists,
Who Now Find Their Rights
la Jeopardy.
Several prominent cltixens of Omaha ore
more than ordinarily Interested In the pro
tocol between the United States and the
Republic of San Domingo, which Is .ow
awaiting final action by the represe i.a
tlves of the two governments. This pro
tocol Is giving considerable uneasiness also
to some, at least, of the European govern
ments. This Is true, In fact, to such an ex
tent, that Its execution and promulgation
Is held In abeyance pending the considera
tion of protests, more or less strenuous.
The Republic of San Domingo hss,
through stress of a badly depleted treas
ury, been quite free In granting valuable
concessions to cltitens of progressive coun
tile who are able and willing to initiate
and push to completion needed public
works. This la where the Omaha cltlsena
get Into this game of Island politics. They
are In with a big ante, too, and do not
propose to surrender their rights without
a fight. Just now they are held on the skir
mish line, trying to locate the most avail
able point of attack.
Operation of the Syndicate.
Something like two years ago a syndicate
of Omaha men secured a a concession from
the government of San Domlngo-or from
President Jlminei or some other tempo-
nrxunini of the presidential omce i
that they consider of great value, If they
are permitted to prosecute it to comyio
Th. K.nrtin-T botrits In this iiu.i'ielo
are David C. IMtteMan and J. K. Paum.
The agreement entered Into binds the syn
ronresented bv the Omaha men to
build a system of modern quays or
wharves at the seaport town oi nunmuu.
This town at present Is not a port of en
try under the laws of the republic, but
under the agreement spoken of it was to
nffini.iiv made or rccoenized as such.
This formality complied with and tho
ov hunt ns ner stipulation, men ine
Omaha syndicate was to begin to realize
on Its Investment, by the collection of 50
per cent of the port duties for a term of
years, or until a certain sum was rtalized.
Outside of building the quays for. the San
Domingo government Messrs. Patterson
and Baum and their associates saw large
possibilities for profit in the building of a
railroad, to be owned by them, which was
to run from Romano to the capital of tho
republic. The road, as projected, tapped
a section of the island extremely rich In
timber and minerals as well as In soil
possibilities So good was the prospect
that little or no difficulty was to be antici
pated, they felt. In financing the road.
Cnaaht In a Revolution.
Having secured the concession in due
form the Omaha men at once evinced their
good faith without any blowing of trum
pets or vainglorious proclamations. Mr.
Shaw, the civil engineer who laid out the
Omaha High school grounds, and also who
has been identified with many other local
projects, was retained and sent to Romano
to make surveys and get the work under
way. Mr. Shaw did not lose any time in
performing his work, and Just when every
thing was well started and the work of
construction about to proceed, with the in
tention of pushing It to an early comple
tion a revolution broke out. This hap
pened over night, as Is the established
custom In San Domingo. The engineer and
his assistants at once found themselves In
a decidedly uncomfortable situation. Mr.
Shaw especially found himself pushed to
such an extreme, through the hard work
he had been doing nnd the worry caused
by the revolution, that his health entirely
failed and he was forced to return to the
United States in a state bordering on men
tal and physical collapse. He rapidly re
covered after arrival In this country and
was soon again actively engaged in his
profession, but not In San Domingo.
What the Tussle Is.
Recent developments in the republic
where the concession lies that was to enrich
the Omaha syndicate make the members
thereof extremely anxious to find out Just
where they stand at present. The conces
sion as to the building of the quays was to
continue In force for five years that Is,
they were to have that time In which to
complete the work. Two years of the time
have already elapsed, and they have not
yet been able to ascertain whether, when,
they resume work, if they do, these two
years will be counted against them or
whether the time since the revolution began
will be counted as no part of their time
limit. As It is. they have still three years
left In which to finish their work on the
quays. They have also invested a con
siderable sum of money fn the preliminary
plans and surveys and for the services of
Engineer Shaw and his assistants. These
rights they have and the money expended
they expect Uncle Sam to take note of
when the protocol Is formally drawn up and
ratified. Other Americans are concerned In
similar concessions from the Dominican
government, and all expect to nave tneir i
Interests protected In any action this gov
ernment may take.
Divisions of Customs Reerlpts.
Rut there Is another feature of this In
ternational affair Interesting the, Omnha
men, and a very Important one. As stated,
they were to have 50 per cent of the Ro
mano port duties for a certain time. Under
the protocol pending between the two gov
ernments, as It is understood here, the
United states la to take N per cent or an
duties collected hv the little renuhllc and
devote the same to the payment of Its debts
to the citizens of all other countries who
may present legitimate claims. This being
so, what Is to become of the other 45 per
cent? The supposition Is It will be needed
to meet the running expenses of San Do
mingo. And that would leave the repay
ment tt the Omnhi avnillenfe for its wnrlr
already done and to be done to a future
that may be quite distant.
To solve these questions and to properly
protect their rights under their concession
Is now engaging the most earnest attention
r t M.B.ra Patterson Anil TOnnm and thj.
men they represent. They hsve already put
in operation mi wanmngron a movement
aimed to secure the Information they want
and need. Despite the seemingly dark out-
iook at present ror tne realization or their
plana they have not by any means lost
hope.
Whatever Others May Ray.
the fact that 111.890 caaes of O. H. Mumm'a
Champagne were Imported In 1904 speaks
volumes for Its indisputably unsurpassed
quality, being very dry, delicate, breedy,

JAYHAWKF.HS PROVE EASY LOSERS
Omaha Y. M. C. A. Team Walks on
Kansas I'nlverslty Five.
The Young Men's Christian association
team of this city defeated the University
of Kansas team last evening at the Audi
torium at banket ball by the score of 31
to !!.
During the first minute of play the Kan
sas boys threw a goal from the field and
made . one goal on a foul, and it began
to look ns though the Young Men's Chris
tian assoHatlon boys were in for a drub
bing. Then followed foul after foul, the
most of them being called on the Kansas
trBm.i This gave Clark a chance to show
the kind of goods he carried with him and
he responded nobly, throwing eight goals
from the foul line and making one goal
from the field. Hllss, for the Kansas team,
showed up to th.e best advantage, being
credited with the only two field goals made
bv Kansaa In the first half. Score at the
end of the first half: Young Men's Chris
tian association, 14; University of Kan
sas, 8.
During the second half the home team
falrlv walked away from the Jayhawkers,
throwing six goals to the visitors' four.
The unequal strength of the two teams
Is not shown by tho score, and at the last
of the game it was very uninteresting, the
visitors not only being unable to throw
field goals hut also missed try after try
for a goal from the foul line. Bliss was
practicably the whole Kansas team, scor
ing three of the four field goals thrown
and threw time of the fouls. Score nt the
end of the second half, 31 to 24 In favor
of the Young Men s Christian association.

bons took two of three games from the
Waverleys. The second game furnished
much excitement, as neither team had a
leail of more than twenty-five pins from
start to finish. It was probably the cleanrst
match of the season, as nineteen of the
thirty Individual games were bowled with
out an error. Hodge's 267 was the high
game of the night.

ROUTE FOR THE BOULETARD
Park Board Haan Suggestioni Frtm Sev
eral Improvement Club.
SEVERAL LINES SUGGESTED FOR DRIVEWAY
Committee Preeent Claims of F.aeh
to tho Board, hut Decision as to
Route to Be Followed Is
Not Aaouneed.
Delegates from three separate groups of
improvement clubs bese:ched the i ark board
yesterday afternoon to authorize three sep
arate route for the continuation of the
Central boulevard northward from Bemls
park, which la Its present terminus. The
North Omaha, Prospect Hill and Omaha
View clubs want the boulevard to run
northeast from the park, along the east side
of Prospect Hill cemetery, northwest to
Thirty-third street and then out past Fort
Omaha to a . connection with Miller park
and the east side boulevard system.
Tho Clifton Hill, Central Fark. Orchard
Hill and Newport and Belvldere clubs wish
for a wider detour that Is one that would
swing the new drive almost due west from
Bemls park to near the west city limits,
then north through Fontanelle park and
northeasterly to Miller park.
Late Comers Are Busy.
The Fifth Ward Improvement club wants
the boulevard cut In northeasterly from
Bemls park, east along Prospect HUI ceme
tery, between Thirty-first and Thirty-second
streets to Wirt street and east down
Wirt street to the Bluff tract and Cut-Off
lake, where It la proposed to establish a
semi-aquatic park.
The Fifth Ward club la the last to enter
the field, having held a meeting Saturday
night and appointed a committee composed
of Messrs. Bryant, Bassett. Shepard, Wood,
Scott and Redman to lay lta arguments be
fore the board.
The Park board heard the committees) at
length, but did not take any action, plac
ing the matter In the hands of Commis
sioners Craig, Conden and Mills for per
sonal Investigation and report.
George T. Mills, the new member of the
board, attended his first meeting and was
assigned to all the committee places made
vacant by the death of President Evans.
Cornish Wl'I Retire.
Commissioner E. J. Cornish, who has been
a member of the body since 18D6, announced
his Intention of resigning within a few
months, or as soon as he can compile a
report of the work of the board since 1897,
When the last complete exhibit was made.
His reason for quitting Is because as presi
dent of the Carter White Load company he
must be away from Omaha a great deal.
"My connection with the Park board has
given me more gratification than any other
public service I have rendered," said Mr.
Cornish. "I don't like to resign with three
years of my term before me, but I think it
no more than fair to the people of the city
because I cannot longer devote the time
that Is necessary to the Park board."
Strenuous objections, were made by the !
board to the action of the charter revision
committee In proposing to remove the mint
mum of $30,000 on the park fund. It was
agreed that active steps should be at once
taken to prevent the present arrangement
of a $30,000 minimum and $40,000 maximum
from being changed.
The board decided to permit the Wood
men of the World to erect a $4,ri0 statue
of the founder of the order, Joseph Cullen
Root, at the corner of Seventeenth street
and Capitol avenue, which Is parked In
boulevard fashion. The plans must be sub
mitted to the board.

The great drawback to farming is the occasional
crop failure. Irrigated farming is as sure and the returns
are as regular as the interest on Government bonds and
several times their rate of interest. Keliable farm lands
in the middle West are out of the market, except at a high
figure; the far-seeing farmer is too independent now to be
obliged to sacrifice these lands.
"Necessity is the mother of invention," and Land
Hunger is the mother of irrigation. Get interested in the
l.ig Horn Hasiu and the coming wealth from irrigated
farming in thnt region. You can buy that land, now un
der water, for $25 an acre, and it is certain that history
will repeat itself in increased values of irrigated lands,
only with greater rapidity than in the region of rain fall.
There are thousands of acres of irrigated land in the West
that you cannot buy today for less than ?100.()0 an acre.
