ous because of "the Vigorous contest over It.
Tills law provided for th purcfiase by the
city and the tnaanlent of the plant after
Us parchase, by a Water board of six mem
bcra erlginnHy. flppotntod by the governor
and electedby fllopeoplo as their terms
expired. ;
Another obstacle, .presented i Itself in the
course of the long-drawn out' controversy
In the "question. whether the city should
effect tho pdrejiir. 'under the clause of the
contract, or by the"'H'ght of eminent do-
1 main.' Tho latter would give the city the
right to name all the appraisers, while the
former method would enable It to name
but one and to accept or reject the ap
praisement. Just as It liked. The purchase
clause method was forced upon the city
and now the city Is told that the value
of the plant it Is to buy Is S6.000.000 and
more, notwithstanding less than half that
sum wad thoj amount of the bonds voted
. for the purchase. : When th city council
decided In favor of the purchase clause
method tho city appointed Mr. Alvord and
the water company appointed Mr. Benzcn
berg arid these twq chose Mr. Mead. '
Delay or All Sorts.
This board of appraisers was supposed
to go to work at' once, but It fiddled along
with all aorta of delays, putting tho city off
from time to time with this and that ex
cuse for Its failure to' act.
The Water board tried to anticipate the
purchase by repudiating the water rate
schedule contract, and reducing the rates
to consumers. Thla threw the burden of
vast Ullgatlnh upon the city, in which thj
city "font. -Judge ,W"J.' M linger 'of the
Vrtlted States circuit -tourt;,; decided the
rates, proihtjU;ij. 4 ty 'the Water boardr
were legah They ere 25 cents, where the
old rates were 35-cents. But the company
appealed to the .Ignited States circuit court
of appeals and In June 1906, Judge, Sanborn
of 8t. Taul handed down tho decision of
thla court, which reversed that of the lower
court. .The Water board attorneys then
, declared they would appeal the case to
the supreme court, They did and the case
-was thrown out ,of that court.
Meanwhile another complication arose,
by reason of the. fact that the new city
charter' of Omaha, enacted by the legis
lature, of 1906, cut, out the levy for water
hydrant rentals and the city has had to
stand the burden and expense nf suits
brought by the water company to Secure
the payments of these rentals.
. t umpaay lleaianil Action.
When the appraisers matle .their report
In WW,' President Theodore C. Woodbury
of the Omaha Water company and Richard
S. Kail, attorney for the company, through
a bUJ (lied in the, United States circuit
court in Omaha, exacted of 'the city the
performance of Jta contract to buy the
water company plant at the figure fixed
by the appraisers. In addition to the peti
tion the officers of the water company
servtd on Mayor Dahlman and Milton T.
Barlow, president of ilie Omaha Water
board, a tender of the deed of the plant.

CHICAGO. April 7.-Elght persons were
seriously Injured, one probably fatally, and
nearly a score of others were more or less
seriously hurt today .when the motor car
of a southbound train on the South Side
Elevated railroad Jumped the track a few
hundred feet north of the Indiana avenue
station and. crashed to the ground. The
front of the car fell Into the rear yard
of a residence at 4235 Prairie avenue, but
the rear end remained propped against the
structure. The car was used as a smoker.
The motorman of the car, George Stang,
was cut and bruised about the head' and
body and his skull fractured. He Waa also
Internally Injured. Ho was taken, to the
Wesley hospital, where It was said bo
might die. Among those most seriously
hurt was Joseph Darmody, Marlon, O., in

Fifty People in Car.
About fifty people were in the front car
when tho accident happened, and all of
them were more or less Injured: Tlie
train was moving rapidly when the front
trucks oT the motor car Jumped the. track.
The car bumped along the rails for a short
distance and then plunged off the elevated
structure, landing In the rear yard of Mrs.
A. T. Haven at 4i16 Prairie avenue. The
second car crashed Into the rear of the
motor car and carried It along the tracks
for several feet. The front trucks of the
second car also left the track.
The passengers of the front car were
thrown In a heap to the floor and some of
them were dashed against the windows,
cutting themselves badly. A panic fol
lowed in the four rear cars and a number
of men raised windows nd leaped out on
to the elevated structure, where they were
in imminent danger from, a third rail. The
attendants of the rear cars, however, man
aged to get them back Into the train before
anybody was Injured.
Ambulances Unshed to Scene.
Ambulances and patrol wagons were hur-.
ried to the scene from nearly- all the po
lice atationa on the south aide of the city.
Lieutenant Cronln and ten officers from
the Fiftieth afreet station were the first
to arrive. They found the passengers of
the motor car penned in and struggling to
make their escape. When additional help
arrived tho imprisoned passengers were
dragged through the shattered window
and carried Into r.earby residences, while
the more seriously Injured were hurried to
various hospitals.
C. V. Weaton, general manager ' of the
company, aald that the accident was cauaed
by the motor casting of the front car drop
ping to the track and raising the truck
above the structure.
'These motor castings, said Mr. Wea
ton, "are heavy, weighing several hundred
pounds. The one on the front car dropped
down and the car trucks ran Into It.
Naturally it acted as a lever and raised the
car from the tracks. The impetus of the
moving train shoved this car off the struc
ture, and it Tell to the ground despite all
that the motorman could do to check it."

Hl'RON. H..D.. April 7.-(Speclal Tele

was called fh order by Chslrman Cook at
noon. Trayer was offered by Rev. F. W.
Robert McNulty of Rob
nominated for chairman
Long of Huron,
erts county waa
by Dillon of Yankton on behalf of the rro
gresalvea. Ex-Oovernor El rod waa nomln
ated by Rrock of Grand county on behalf
of the stalwarts. This was the first chal
lenge for a show of. strength by the two
factions. Roll cell gave the progressives
M6Hr votes and. the stalwarts 221. Hamlin
county gave the stalwarts Its entire nine
votes, somewhat to thesurpriac of the pr&
grpsalv.es. This ,waa offset by the Spink
county, vote coin solid to the nroares-
slvis. .Cheering by both faitins followed
the announcement of these votes.
un assuming the chair, McJNulty was
loudly cheered, by the progressives, and In
a brief address paid a high tribute to the
party in the state and nation
These committees wero named with A. W
Wllmarth of . Beadle as chairman of reso'
lutlonn, F, D. . Wicks of Ponhomme on
oTgaisatiqn, and, Senator Byrne nt Faulk
on rule, and order.. At the conclusion of
the apolntment of the committees by Chair-
man McNulty, ex-Oovernor Herried on be-
half of the stalwarts sent their resolutins
to thnt committee.' They favored Taft'S
nomination" and Instructions for the sup-
port of JtoWvelts policies so long as
Taffa name continued before the national
convention.- Other resolutions are substan
tially tho same aa presented by tho pro
gresslven. '
following tne noon recess the slate
for national 'delegates Waa revised, this
being the list: Governor Crawford. K. O.
Strand of Howard, A. W. Sweet of Pierre,
a. i. lxichhart of Deuel, R. E. Grlmshaw
of Deadwood, P. H. O'Nell of Faulkton.
C. H. Dillon of Yankton. The progressives
suspecting the stalwarts would attempt o
divine me resolutions Indorsing Taft and
Crawford, So not to vote to Indorse Craw-
ford, permitted the division, thereby fore-
inning me stalwart plan and securin?
all they desired. '
Taft and Crawford Endorsed

President Roosevelt-.'1 The Roosevelt poll
cies are declared to bo the "crowning vlr

In view of his refusal to accept another
nomination tho 'resolutions declare for the
