CITY COUNCIL
ENJOYS BUSY
DISCUSSION
The Water Company Taken Down the
Line for Something That Per
haps Could Not Be Helped.
The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the city council was held last eve
ning at the city hall with all mem
bers present and while the session was
in extremely short one it was filled
with much interest in the discussion
f several matters of importance to
the city and its affairs.
A communication was received from
William Eal'ance tendering his rc-.-ijrnation
as a member of the city
I ark commission. This was accepted
by the council and Mayor Sattler
promised to present the name of his
.-uccssor at the next meeting, Chair
rum Bestor of the streets, alleys and
bridires committee reported that
IVter Claus had been interviewed in
icgard to his residence property on
W.-hington avenue and had promised
; have the house remodeled in such a
wy that it would rot protude over
the lot lines but would conform with
"he city ordinance.
Chairman Johnson of the lire and
vattr committee reported that the
bill of the water company for service
; t the drinking fountains for October
ar.d November had been taken up
'.-!. h Manager' Minor of the water
,-ompany and that he had promised
tr bring the matter to the attention
. f Mr. West, of Portland, Maine,
owner f the plant, in an effort to se
tarc a more reasonable rate.
Chairman Luschinsky of the light
in ir committe presented a petition
.-icr.ed by all the residents along south
Lincoln avenue who petitioned that
th light company extend their lines
that far in order to supply current
for Use in their homes, that are at
present without the benefits of the
vioctrie light. On motion this was
re for red to the light committee for
ino-t:gatkn and to see of it were
possible to have the electric service
line extended along this thorough
fare. Chairman Luschinsky also re
ported on the M. P. viaduct light,
stating the city had power to compel
its installation and on motion the
light was ordered put in and the city
attorroy to bring the matter to the
attention of the railroad company.
Councilman Buttery called the at
tention of the council to the fact that
tiie street lights were put out too
tarly in the morning and cited Sat
urday morning as an instance when
they were out at : 15 when it was
still too dark to see in proper manner.
Councilman Buttery also brought up
the matter of the speeding of automo
biles on the avenues and inquired as
t- what authority the police committee
l.ad leen given in the matter and
stated that if it was up to them that
the aut-j joy riders would be given a
jolt for fast driving.
Councilman Bestor pointed out the
habit of drivers of horses of leaving
their teams stand unhitched on the
streets of the city and that two in
stances of this kind had been learned
of yesterday and he desired to have
the practice stopped by the police be
fore a serious runaway resulted from
it- This led to some discussion and
it was decided by the dads to have the
po'ioe look into the matter without
delay and put a stop to it.
The opinion of City Attorney J. E.
I uglas.s was read covering the regu
l.itioj of sewers of the citv in re
gard to tin character of the refuse
that is dumped in to them was read
covering ordinance No. 42. Thi
provides fine for the violation of
the ordinance. It also was decided
to prepare an amendment to the ordi
nance to provide for the use of
screens over the sewers and to do
away with the open sewer that has
-ccasioned considerable trouble to the
city.
The ordinance providing for the
purchase cf the lots on Washington
avenue was then read and provided
for th- city paying the sum of $1,100
for the purchase of the same for park
purposes.
On the first reading of the ordi
nance Councilman Eajeck moved the
suspension of the rules and to have
the ordinance placed on its second and
third leadings for final passage. City
Attorney Douglas was called upon to
s.-t the title to the lots and gave a
brief outbid of -them stating that
Chris Mockenhaupt, the present own
, r had In-cn In possession of them for
more than lctuieuis and that the tax
title to tfce property had been pur
chased hy Mf." Mockenhaupt. from
Henry R. Gearing, and that while' the
jx.sscisi-jn of the city was guaranteed
in the "deed from ?-Ir- Mockenhaupt,
if ,(1(1 a' s-'tiit io- quiet title would
ive theni aVde'ar title from the dis-
tiki wurt, This however he did not
think t-cessarj-
Councilman Joluison stated that he
did not think that the city should
clear up the title to the land but that
it was up to Mr. Mockenhaupt.' In
this opiniQn Mr. - Luschinsky - also
joined, aflhioved to lay the ordinance
over to the' next meeting but ' this
amendment was later withdrawn and
the original motion to . suspend the
rules was voted on and carried with
Councilman Johnson voting no. On
the final passage however all of the
councilmen-joined in voting for the
ordinance., . . .
The water company was then made
the subject of some discussion. Mr.
Luschinsky calling the attention of the
council .to. the fact that recently the
city was . without sufficient pressure
from hydrants to use in. case of . fire
and that for several hours the water
supply was limited owing, to a break
to one of the pumps at the pumping
station and also that the standpipc
was empty, exposing the city, to the
possibility of a heavy loss in case of
fire. The Burlington shops. had. also
been a sufferer from the water short
age on this occasion and several de
partments had been compelled to lay
off on this account. In his opinion
the water company, should see that
the pressure for fire purposes is kept
up at all times and that the stand
pipe be kept filled for use in case of
necessity.
Mayor Sattler also joined in the
discussion stating that the franchise
of the water company provided for
giving the city sufficient pressure for
their fire hydrants and this he thought
should be lived up to by the company.
Councilman Bestor thought that the
water company should take steps to
see that the pipes along the streets
were laid below the frost line as he
had been informed that thirty-five
families were without the city water
as a result of frozen pipes and that
the pipes should be properly placed so
as to protect them.
Councilman Luschinsky stated that
at the fires on Winterstcen hill the
pressure had been very low and that
it had not been sufficient for effective
work.
On motion of Bestor, seconded by
Buttery, the fire and water committee
take up the matter of keeping the
pressure up in proper shape as well
as to bring to the attention of the
company to the frozen condition of the
pipes in different parts of the city.
This motion was then adopted.
Councilman Buttery stated that the
waterway on the cast side of Seventh
street near the Propst garage had
been filled up with cinders and desir
ed that these be cleaned out, which
was so ordered.
Councilman Harries in referring
back to the water pressure question
stated that he had understood that at
the last fire on Wintersteen hill that
there had been a great deal of muddy
sediment and slush ice in the hose
and that he desired the fire and water
committee investigate whether or not
the fire hydrants were in proper
shape for use at all times.
Councilman Johnson stated that it
must be taken in consideration the
fact that the hydrants on Winter
steen Hill were on" the same level as
the standpipe and it could not be ex
pected that the pressure would be as
great there as at the other points
over the city, and the water company
could not be blamed.
Thedc Amick was present at the
meeting and secured permission to
address the city legislators stated that
he had been selling gasoline from the
barrel on the curb line of his lot, but
had been stopped by the fire chief and
had since refrained from, selling, but
that other garages had continued the
practice of selling in this way without
being stopped and he did not think
it hardly fair to him that such a con
dition should prevail. Councilman
Johnson was of the opinion that if
one of the dealers had been stopped
from selling from a tank situated
above ground at the street curb he
did not see how the others could be
allowed to do this. Mayor Sattler
stated that there was an ordinance
against it and other dealers had been
notified and the police would see that
it was stopped in the future.

lowing bills the council adjourned

formance. It is a story of gripping
and intense human interest in which

beautifully and brilliantly united in
a sanely happy ending, there is no
sermonizing of weary preachment in
the crisp and often laughable dialogue,
but in the life of the Girl who is "The
Girl lie Couldn't Buy" of the play
there is a lesson which parents,
teachers, and employers as well as
boys and girls who are just starting
into the important affairs of life can
ret learn too quickly or remember too
long. Splendidly staged ::nd acted,
this new play must compel both the
inteiest and the approval of all au
diences and the mingled humor and
pathos, the contrasted defeats and the
final victories of the virile character ;
have won the enthusiastic applause
ar.d approval 'of ail beholders. The
ploi is woven around real incidents
of even- day American life and the
line meaning of it reaches and lingers
with all classes of men and women.

COMING TO
THE PARMELE
THEATRE
Sumner Nichols Great Problem Play,
"The Girl He Could Not Buy," to
Appear at the Parmele on
Saturday Night.
When Sumner Nichols wrote the
play which will be presented here at
the Parmele Theatre on Saturday
nignt March Urd, he dug deep into
the inner experience of many a shop
girl who is working at a wage of six
dollars a week and trying to live an
honest and upright life, and his hero
ine, Hope Nelson, typifies what a girl
must do and suffer to escape the per
secutions of those human parasites
who prey on the lives of unprotected
girls and pose as men of honesty and
prominence in the eyes of "upper, so
ciety." Hope Nelson is the daughter of a
wealthy banker. He is ruined by his
partner, David Burnham. He dios
and Hope is left penniless and nearly
friendless. When the curtain rises
she is living at a boarding house on
six-dollar-a-w'cek salary she earns,
the room with one of her store com
panions, a saucy and light-hearted
girl by the name -of Kitty Burns. But
is a hard struggle for existence, made
harder than ever by Burnham, who
again makes his appearance, and this
time a tempter. He dangles ease,
lu::ury, wealth and what he calls hap
piness Ivfore her in return for her
paying with her honor, and when the
g; i rl spurns 1dm he becomes desper
ate and threatens to drive her ir.to
the street.
And then, at the ilimaci ical nui
::ent, Joe .Mr.ynnrd, a Vv:.c!s.n.ui."
enters her iie tit rough the window
of lie r own Lsohvte lvom, from o'i
to..' ilre cscar c. He is fleeing from
the police, and as'.s her to find for
hin a temporary hiding place. Some
thing about the man compels her io

NEBRASKA
FIFTY YEARS
OLD TODAY
Many Towns Are Celebrating the An
niversary With Programs Ap
propriate to the Occasion.
Nebraska is fifty years old today
and the state now ranks as one of the
most important of the commonwealths
of the states of the union, forging
ahead in the half century of its life
to this position through the splendid
efforts of the men and women who
have made this state their home. In
the days preceding statehood, Ne
braska was the shuttlecock of the po
litical forces of the nation, and over
its creation as a territory there was a
great political conflict in congress, in
which Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois,
the author of the Kansas-Nebraska
bill, occupied a prominent part in the
years 1854-55, and which was the
opening of his efforts to gain the
presidency.
It was on March 5, 18G0, that the
first attempt to create a state out of
the territory was undertaken by the
territorial assembly of the state, when
the proposition of statehood was sub
mitted to the people for their approv
al, but was rejected by a vote of
2,0b'l to 2,72. In this election the
voters of Cass county were decidedly
in favor of statehood, the vote being
4.-i'J for statehood and 14G against the
proposition, but other sections of the
state were not in the mood to assume
the responsibilities of the statehood
measure and it was passed by. The
cor.giess of the United States in 1861
passed the enabling act that permitted
ihc people of Nebraska to form a stat
constitution for submission to the peo
pie and to once more take op the ef
fort to gain admission into the union
of states.
- It was early in lS6b that the tenta
live constitution was prepared for
submission to the people of the state
and provision made for the election
of the state ctlicers who were to guide
the proposed state during its first
;::-.ys. Tills was approved by Governor
r 1
Saunders, and on June 2, 18i.,
-uiimitted to the voters of th
for their approval or rejection.
ro t:c:tl co:-.u;tio:is at the time
admission of the state more
tc o. a political nature, tne re-
publican;
striving to have the consti
tution and statehood proposition
adopted, while the democrats and th
liberal wing of the republicans op
posed it, although both parties had
ncminated full state tickets, for the
election. The campaign,
those who remain of the pioneers of
those stirring times, was one that was
tense and bitter and the young com
monwealth was toured by the friends
and foes of statehood in speaking and
working for their respective causes.
It was in this stirring fight that
Cars county occupied the limelight.
and upon the vote cast in Rock Bluffs
in this county hung the balance of
fate for the question of statehood.
Cass county gave a decisive majority
against statehood and it was only by
throwing out the vote of Rock Bluffs
that the constitution was declared
adopted and the republican state
uckei, neaded oy uavui I'ullci as
governor, was declared elected, defeat

GOOD PRICE FOR
FARM LAND IN
CASS COUNTY
V. E. Perry, one of the progress
ive young farmers cf the county was
in the city yesterday for a few -hours
enroute to the automoblic show ' in
Omaha and took advantage of the oc
casion to spend a short time with his
1 friends in the county seat. Mr. Per
ry has just disposed of his fine lb')
acre farm which is known as the
Oscar Allen farm, to A. E. Lake of
near Murdock, who paid Mr. Perry
$210 an acre for the land. This is
an excellent price, but the farm is al
so one of the best in this section of the
state and Mr. Perry has maintained
the farm at a very high standard of
efficiency. It is mighty hard to find
land anywhere that can compare
with that of old Cass county, and Mr.
Lake feels fortunate in securing the
farm. Mr. Perry will remain on
the farm until next spring when Mr.
Lake will move onto the place to re
side. Mr. Perry has not decided just
what he will do in the future toward
securing a new location but will have
ample time b picq out a suitable
home for himself ami family before,
they move from the farm near Wa
