READY FOR SERVICES AGAIN
til. Mary's Avenue Congregational
Chnrrh Has Pastor aad Boiler
lloth In Commission.
The officials of St. Mary's Avenue Con
gregutlonal church would be glad to have
the man who slept In the church about
ten -days ago pay for his lodging, lu case
he would rather pay for the plumbing bill
that resulted, he can uscertain the amount
by. calling on the treasurer. When the
Janitor attempted to lire up a week ago
lie found that nearly every pipe In the
boiler hud been frozen und burst. It Is
supposed that sumu one entered the church
and spent the nlgh( there while the church
was warm and neglected to close ths coal
chute after him. Burglary could not have
been his motive, for a search has revealed
that nothing ss stolen.
The damage which resulted and which
necessitated the abandonment of services
last Sunday has iieen repaired and the pas
tor. Rev. Robert Yost, has recovered from
his Uluets. so that regular servkes will be
resumed tumurruw.
While the prospects for new paving in
Omaha are held in abeyance to a degree
pending the action of the legislature on tlio
city charter, yet there has been a recent
disposition on the part of the members of
tho Board of Public Works to get together
and agree upon paving spec-locations that
will be approved by City Attorney Wright.
As long as the latter ret uses to approve
contracts for paving made under specifica
tions he does not think legal, the council
will not let awards for paving, and this
condition of affairs prevented all paving by
petition except North Sixteenth street in
1904.
It may be that In all the charter revi
sions proposed the elimination of the Board
of Public Works and placing the speclflca-tlon-maklng
power In the hands of the city
engineer, has Its Influence, but at any rate
Comptroller Lobeck has announced that he
Is willing to vote for plans that follow gen
erally those prepared especially for North
Bixteenth street. These were made by City
Engineer Rosewater, but were modified
somewhat by tlie majority members of the
board and the council, but, with possibly a
few exceptions, they are not seriously ob
jected to by the engineer. In case the
board is retained Lobeck's concession may
go a long way toward producing a har
monious condition, resulting specifications
that will be satisfactory to the engineer
and city attorney, who have contended for
about the same points.
Many Petitions on File.
As many as a score of petitions calling
for paving on various streets are In the
hands of the city clerk, and more than
half of them have been perfected accord
ing to law, leuving nothing remaining to
have the work actually done except the
letting of contracts and formal choosing

of material. Until the charter tinkering
Is finished there Is no means of knowing
whether or not the deadlock of the last
two years that has prevented paving, may
be kept up In some form or another or
not.
The bltullthlc paving people are already
voioing strenuous protests ' regarding the
amendment that proposes to allow the
property owners to designate the material
they want uned, by the name or brand,
which the contractor has to submit. They
argue that this would give the older and
better known products an Immense ad
vantage. The contract for the municipal asphalt
plant,' which must be completed and In
working order by May 1, Is being prepared
and It will probably go before the coun
cil for approval within the next ten days.
Although disappointed with an appropria
tion of only 13,000 for paving repairs,
where 130,000 was expected, City Engineer
Rosewater has stated that he will make
the best of the situation.
DEBATE ON JNSURANCE BILL
Dakota Senators Warm 1 1 Over the
Subject and Also Over
Sheriff's Fees.
PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 10. (Special Tele
gram.) The senate was the storm center
today, discussion being called out on bills
regarding sheriffs' fees and the old line life
Insurance bill. On the latttr the contestants
were Iawson und Rice. The bill came upon
committee report and Rice attacked It as
not giving the Insurance commissioner
enough power to control companies organ
ized under Its provisions, and In his talk
took occasion to deny that In his former
argument he had compared life Insurance
agents with brigands, but declared that his
statement was he would its soon vote to
license brigands with bludgeons as vote for
an Insurance bill with no greater restric
tions than In the bill under consideration.
Iawson defended the bill lis one with
greuter safeguards than are contained In
the Wisconsin law, which It closely follows,
nnd that the senator from Moody had at
tacked the bill on a new point at every
time, and that he had In his pocket a let
ter written by a general agent of an old
line life company, which attacked the bill
In every Identical particular In which It
hud been attacked by the gentleman from
Moody. Northrup, as one of the committee
which had considered the bill, defended It
and moved the adoption of the report,
which carried by 38 to & on roll call.
The sheriffs' bill, which Increases fees,
was attacked by Toy und Stoddard und de
fended by Krieberg and Rice. It was
charged that sherlfTs serve a number of
papers on a single trip, and charge mileage
from the starting point on each separate
service and that the fees were high enough.
Rice declnred that where such action could
be shown the officer ehould be III the peni
tentiary Instead of serving as sheriff. Dil
lon asked that tlw bill go to the Judiciary
committee, that the committee on counties
hud evidently not given It proper consider
ation, which brought out a denial from
Krlebeig of the county committee, but It
finally went back for furtner consideration.
A large grist of new bills was presented
lu the senate, the principal among them be
ing by Cassill, to reqjlre payment of road
taxes In cash; by Frleberg. to require ull
liquor lief uses to be paid for a full year
and prohibiting any ex-convict from engag
ing lu the lliiuor business: by Saltmarsh. to
llx licenses of iinii-risldeut hunters at $10;
by Irughty, requiring county auditors to
keep plat books Willi the n.ttiiri- uf the own
ers of mII triiMs of land In same: by Cook,
giving guardians the right tu mortgage th
property of minora and incompetents; by
Wilsie, a deficiency appropriation of $10,
000 at the Sohool of Mines.
The senate passed senate bills providing
a method of investment of county sinking
funds, and a deficiency bill for convoying
convicts to the penitentiary.
The house had no bills on calendar for ac
tion, and proceeded to have fun with the
state song bill on committee report. A
number of the members wanted to get the
bill out for action with no Intention of pass
ing it. Apland moved to adopt the commit
tee report, and Craig to Indefinitely post
pone, which motion was lost. Hughes then
moved reference to Doane Robinson, secre
tary of the State Historical society, which
carried, and the bill went out of the Juris
diction of the house and into the relic room
of the society with no way of getting it Out.
Among the rtew ttnuse bills presented
were, by Huff, Increasing the term of com
pulsory school attendance to sixteen weeks
In a year; by Pennington, providing for the
appointment of county game wardens at a
ealary of $128 a month for the' open season;
by Kiibs, for a state library commission
and circulating libraries; and Joint resolu
tions by Lindley, endorsing the position of
President Roosevelt on railroad rate legis
lation, and by Rndge, for a constitutional
amendment for municipal contracts In cities
of over 10,000.
