The board of trustees o
First, Presbyterian church pre
sented a petition asking to have
Oranite street, one block east and
one west, cleaned and all person
al property removed from the
street, as al present it is a very
unsightly place and an eyesore to
those who visit the church. The
trustees also asked to have the
old house on the corner north of
the church removed. The matter
was referred to the streets, alleys
ami bridges committee for action
in regard to the street, but the old
house in the opinion of the coun
cil, could not be removed unless
the. city purchased it outright.
The property owners residing
at the corner of Sixth and Marble
streets and extending a block west
asked permission of the city
council to lay a permanent walk
along their premises at the pres
ent grade, and the same was
granted.
Superintendent William Baird

ed a common icat ion to the coun
cil staling that the waterways
south of the shops had become
choked up with debris and rub
bish and made the matter of
keeping the shop sewer open very
difficult and asked the city to
look after the matter al once, and
the street conunisisouer was
ordered to look after this matter
without 'delay.

The report of the judiciary
committee of the council stated
that they had examined the mat
ter of the Wescott bond case, and
in their opinion the bond was
worthelss and that the matter
should be dropped. The city at
torney also presented a report on
the matter, recommending that
the case be appealed, as, in the
opinion of the attorney, the city
was entitled to redress and could
secure it by appealing the matter
to the supreme court. On a nio
tion to adopt the report of the
judiciary committee it was do
feated by the following vote:
Yeas, Patterson, Streight 2

handled bv the commiltee and
ily attorney, and City Attorney
l'idd addressed the council, slat
ing they had lodged a complaint
wilh Ihe county board of eipializa-
n and had submitted the sworn
t i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 y of the company as to
the Value of Ihe plant, which they
had offered before the state rail
way commission, and Hie cause
had been continued until June 30.
He stated, also, they would ask
the board to include the franchise
m the properly ol tne company
for taxing purposes.
Fn the absence of Chairman
Hichey of the si reels, alleys and
bridges committee, Mr. Buttery
called the attention of the coun
cil to the need of immediate ac
tion in placing a tiling across
Washington avenue at Ihe corner
of Eighth street, and also the fix
ing up of the road leading to the
rifle range, especially on North
Eight li street, where a culvert is
in bad shape north of Ihe stand
pipe, and the matter was ordered
looked after and if necessary the
ow place where the culvert was
located will be filled up by dirt
graded from the hill just south
of the culvert.
Councilman Vroman of the
cemetery committee reported the
committee would like more time
on the matter of purchasing the
Mercerville school building, as it
was not in very good shape and
he did not think the city should
rush in and purchase something
that was not worth the price paid,
and would also like to confer with
the school board in regard to the
matter. The request of the com
mittee for further time was
granted.
Councilman Buttery called the
attention of the council to a let
ter which he had received from
George Ray of Omaha, stating ho
had purchased in 1905 a lot in
the cemetery here and his wife
had been buried there, and about
a month later the lot had been
sold lo someone else and a body
placed there, and he wanted the
city to either give him another
lot or have the body removed to
another location. This was as
signed to the cemetery committee
to straighten out.
An ordinance was introduced
by Councilman Lushinsky provid
ing that all moneys raised for the
maintenance of the public library
should be turned over for ex
pendilure to the library Fptard the
same as the school money is
handled by the school board, and
the money should remain in the
custody of the city treasurer,
subject to the order of the school
board. The matter carried by a
unanimous vote.
Councilman Lushinsky also re
ported that the new drinking
fountains had arrived and woub
be placed as soon as Ihe water
company was ready to make the
connection. One will be plaei
at Ihe corner of Sixth and Main
streets at the Wurl corner; an
u her at Ihe Egenberger corner on
Fifth street leading lo the post
office, and the third one at the
corner of Fourth and Main streets
near Ihe court house. These loca
tions are the best that could have
been made and will prove very
convenient to the. public.
The city attorney reported that
he had examined the bids for the
Chicago avenue sewer and found
that both were in compliance with
the law, and the bid could be let
to the lowest bidder, but as Coun
cilman Hichey, of the streets com
mittee, was absent and had re
quested that the matter be laid
over until he could be present, the
council laid the matter over until
Ihe next meeting.
The council was addressed
briefly by Jack Brittain, who
stated he had been unable to get
a dog which had bitten his boy,
shot by the police and he pro
duced a lelter from the governor's
office, in reply to a letter of his,
and the slate executive informed
him that the killing and regulat
ing of dogs belonged to the city
ami not the slate officers. The
council, after some discussion of
the matter, ordered all dogs with
out lags in Ihe city shot.

lent services, sang a solo, "1 Am
Fastening." also being assisted by
the choir.
Rev. Smith chose as a bible
reading Ihe twelfth chapter of
Fsaah, briefly dwelling on Ihe
grist of the text and enlivening
his discourse with narratives il
lustrative of his thought. Fol
lowing this study opportunity was
given for short testimonials and
praise by members of the con

the responses; in themselves they
furnished great food for thought
for thoughtful men.
The meetings as announced for

THE REV. CHARLES
EVANGELIST
One cf the Most Polished Gentlo-
men That Has Ever Visited
Plattsmouth.
From Wednesday's Dally.
Tlieny has in I ho past been
many evangelists and ministers
iere conducting revival services,
ml there has never been as ac
complished or polished a gentle
man here in this worn as l.liarles
Cullen Smith, Ihe evangelist who
is conducting the services at the
ig tent, north of the court house,
and those who have met this gen
(Ionian are unanimous in declar
ing that ho is one of the most
genial men in the world and to
make his acquaintance is certain
ly a pleasure. In his work on the
platform ho has avoided all the
sensational effects, of the usual
run of evangelistic workers and
his arguments for the uplifting
of mankind are free from all
prejudice and straight to the
point, leaving no doubt as to
where he stands and respecting
the opinions of those who differ
from him.
Mr. Smith before taking up his
religious work was a railway
mail clerk, running through Iowa
on the Rock Island, and later on
the Burlington, but in 1887 he
became interested in trying lo
heli) his fellow man and became
interested in Ihe Y. M. C. A. at
Marshalllown. Iowa, and Cedar
Rapids, going later lo Chicago
where he came in contact with the
great Moody, whose methods he
has adopted lo some extent. Dur
ing the Spanish-American war he
was in charge of the Christian
coinmisison at Chickamauga
nark. His work along this line
has lilted him for the handling o
men and his efforts along this
portion of Ihe Christian move
ment have made him one of Ihe
most successful evangelists in Ihe
country. His talks are very con
vincing and rifcht to the point and
everyone who has heard him dur
ing his stay in Ibis city has the
opinion that he is undoubtedly Ihe
most convincing pulpit orator
that, has been heard in this city in
recent years.
J. W. Rounds Goes to Lincoln.
J. W. Rounds, who has been
employed for some time as
stenographer in the office of Shop
Superintendent William Baird at
the Burlington shops, has been
transferred lo Lincoln, where he
will be employed in the office of
Superintendent of Motive Power
Thomas Hoop. The place of Mr,
Rounds will be taken, by Miss
Mayola Props), who has been em
ployed in Omaha for the past two
years and is an expert stenog
raphor. It is a mailer of much
regret lo lose Mr. Rounds, as he
has been verv nonular in socia
and musical circles and his re
moval will be felt very much by
his many friends, as he is a mos
genial and pleasant young man.
