CITY COUNCIL ENJOYS
A LIVELY SESSION
(Continued From First Page.)
and the drawing of a warrant for the
amount of the claim, as the work had
been ordered by the city board of
health and the council was responsible
for the payment of same.
The streets, alleys and bridges com
mittee of the council reported to the
council that the county commissioners
had refused to do anything in regard
to the assisting of the work on-the
Chicago avenue sewer and that they
would favor the construction of a
sewer four and one-half feet in size
in the waterway to extend out for the
block that could be covered by the
appropriation of $1,800. This matter
occasioned a great deal of discussion
between several of the members of
the council and which was opened by
Councilman Buttery, who stated that
he thought that the size of the Chi
cago avenue sewer would be cut down
in keeping with that on Washington
avenue, which was much smaller than
than had been first estimated. -Councilman
Bestor for the benefit of the
council informed them that the
changes had been made in the sewer
on the recommendation of the engi
neers on the job and they had made
their estimate from the water which
would be drained by the sewer as well
as the size of the main sewer, and
this recommendation had been accept
ed. Mayor John P. Sattler calmed
the situation by stating that while the
Washington avenue sewer was not
large enough, it was no reason that
the new sewer on Chicago avenue
should not be made of the proper size.
The report of the committee was ac
cepted. The cemetery committee, through
Chairman Harris, recommended that
half of the north portion of the ceme
tery be laid out and platted and that
markers of concrete be provided for
use on the lot corners. This report
was adopted by a unanimous vote of
the body. He al?o called the atten
tion of the council to the fact that
parties had been using the streets in
the cemetery to haul corn and other
farm products through, with the re
sult that quite a litter had been made
i n-1 he wanted the sexton to be em
I wAered to see that anyone doing this
i:i the future would be punished.
Councilman Butterv desired to have
- ihe city clean and trim up the trees
in the cemetery along the roadway
and see that they were kept in better
hape in the future, and Mr. Harris
informed the council that he had or
dc-red this work looked after.
ine matter oi a new pane was
brought up by Chairman Bajeck o
the park and improvement commit
tee, who stated that in regard to pur
chasing the Coates' pasture on North
rath street for a public park tne
committee understood that the price
had been raised on the tract of land
and even at the old price they thought
that the purchase price would be
burden on the city as it was not suited
for the use of a park. He desired
to have the council look into the pur
chase of the old brick and terra cotta
works grounds on Washington avenue
as this was much more centrally
located and would prove a great dea
more satisfactory to the large major
ity of the people of the community
On motion of Bajeck the park com
missioners were instructed .to look
into the price of what the terra cotta
works could be purchased for and
report to the next meeting of the
council. ,
On the opening of the bids for the
construction of sidewalks in the city
for the ensuing year, Councilman
Luschinsky moved that the bids be
referred to the streets, alleys and
bridges committee for tabulation, bui
was amended by Bajeck that the bids
be rejected and that the city go ahead
and do the work itself. The amend
ment was adopted, with Luschinsky,
Weaver ami Buttery voting no, and
accordingly the city will look after
the construction of its own sidewalks
The rejection of the sidewalk bids
was followed by the introduction of
a motion by Bestor that the city pur
chase a concrete mixer for $135, and
this was later amended by Johnson
that the streets, alleys and bridges
committee investigate the working of
different mixers and make a recom
mendation at the next meeting of the
council.
The streets, alleys and bridges com
rnittee was instructed to look into the
- cost of opening up Vine street from
Eighth to Eleventh streets and to
report same at the council during
July.
Mayor Sattler pointed out the
necessity of providing hitching posts
for the farmers and others driving
into the. city and suggested that Pearl
street, between Fourth and Fifth
streets, be investigated with a view
of having, a number of posts put in
there as soon as possible. It was
decided to turn the matter over to
the streets, alleys and bridges com
mittee, to report at the next meeting.
On motion of Councilman Buttery
the city attorney was instructed to in
vestigate the liability of the city for
damages in case there should be an
accident caused by someone running
into the guide posts in the center of
the streets.
The ordinance was read which will
take into paving district No. 12 all
the property in block 32, between
Third and Richey streets, south of
Main street, and this was passed to
the second and third reading and by
an unanimous v'ote was passed. ,
The finance committee of the coun
cil reported the following bills as
correct, and warrants were ordered
drawn for their payment: William
Grebe, special police," $2; Nebraska

man Buttery of the bill of W. A.

the bill was allowed. The council
then proceeded to allow a number of
matters of street work and adjourned
to meet in two weeks.

cert next week on luesday evening

be in keeping with the spirit of the
Fourth of July and will consist o
patriotic numbers bringing to mine:
the spirit of the great celebration of
the birth of our country. With the
near approach of an armed conflict
of our country with that of Mexico
it is thought fitting that the occasion
of the natal day of the republic be
honored by a concert of this noture
This concert, with the two base bal
games should furnish amusement as
well as good clean entertainment for
the residents of the city who will join
in observing the Fourth of July.
There will be quite a number kjtre
from out of the city to spend the day
with home folks and it is desired to
give them some entertainment and

tures would keep the day well filed.

CALL SPECIAL SESSION'
ur mr. LLUiauuunc
From Welncsilav's Daily.
A special wesson of the
Nebraska
state legislature may be needed to
provide funds to meet debts incurred
by the state in mobilizing its national
guardsmen for possible Mexican bor-
der service, acording to Adjutant
General Phil Hall.
General Ilali said Sunday he had
conferred with Gove-; nor Morehead
and would hold further conferences
on the matter this week. The gov
ernment bears a large part of the
expense, but the state's portion al
ready has exhausted the present ap
propriation, according to General
Hall. He can make no estimate of
the amount the state must expend un
til the length of the stay of the troops
here is determined.

Ifrom Wednesday's Dally
Yesterday afternoon shortly after
:j o'clock, Rov, the 11-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Olson, residing
on Vintersteen hill, had a very close
call from electruction when he grab-
bed a hold of a live line wire of the
Nebraska Lighting company.
it seems that tne !al in company
with the children of Mr. and Mrs.
Ben Hankinson was playing at the
Hankinson home, on Lincoln avenue,
near the shops, and in their pastimes
decided to indulge in a tree climbing
stunt and picked for their object a
tree that was near where the line of
electric light company is stretched.
The children were in the tree hav
ing a pleasing time at their sport un
til Roy, who had reached the top of
the tree lost his hold and in trvincr to
save himselt Irom falling, grabbed
ahold of the electric wire with his left
hand, still retaining his hold on one
Df the limb? wifh his rirht nnl with
both feet swung free of the tree and
huntr there for spvpmI miniitpu with-1
out beinir' able to rrleaso his holl nn
the wire which was carrying several
hundred volts of electricity every
minute. His rrio whiVh "vn r,ir-v-1
ing aroused the members of the fam-
ily and the power nlant was called un
and the engineer at once turned off
the current, allowing the boy to de-
scent from the tree, and, fortunately
with, but little iniurv. as only a sliirht i
burned nlnre wns vinM nn tho lnfM
hand and this not in the least dan-
gerous. Koy was quite badly fright
ened and it was sometime before he
could give any account of how he had
come to be in his perilous position
anelt it is safe to say that he will avoid
playing around electric light wires in
the future and play safety first while
"V
IC 15 a very tortunate matter that
the boy was not very badly injured
as the result of the experience and
eaped so easily

ST. LUKE'S PARISH
SCHOOL ENJOYS A
DELIGHTFUL OUTING
The church school, of St. Luke's
parish enjoyed a most delightful out
ing on Tuesday afternoon when the
children, together with a number
of the parents gatherer at the grove,
near the Klinger place, and held their
annual picnic. The members of the
church owning automobiles had do
nateel their cars for the occasion and
these decorated with flags bore the
members of the party out to the pic
nic grounds where they enjoyed the
day to the utmost. Here the little
folks proceeded to enjoy themselves
in games of all kinds while a number
of races were put on that addeel great
ly to the delights of the youngsters
anel much pleasure was derived in the
various sports which had been pre
pared by the teachers for the event.
As the day progressed the well lad
en baskets of good things to eat were
produced and these were spread forth
for the benefit of the "picnickers and
it is needless to say that they were
enjoyed to the utmost. It was late
in the day when the party proceeded
homeward feeling that the occasion

TAKEN QUITE ILL
WHILE AT WORK
Yesterday afternoon while (lien
Hawkenbary was engaged in working
at the residence of Emmons J. Richey
in the north part of the city which
is being remodeled, he was taken
quite sick and it became necessary to
have him taken to his home where he
will be compelled to rest for a few
days. The attack was in the nature of
a fainting spell and came on very
sueldenly anel the first known of the
sickness was when Glen collapsed and
fell to the ground and at once medical
assistance was summoned as he was
apparently unconscious and it was
found ne-cessary to remove him to the
office of a physician where he was
reviveel and then taken to his home
where he has since remained. It is
thought that the attack will not be
more than a temporary illness and
that the patient will soon be able to
be around, as usual.
