Kltohcn'H Ordinance.
Ycstcnlny Councilman Kitchen pave n
DKK reporter n K'uncral Idea of the features
of lili ( inllimiieo now ] > cmliiit ! In the council ,
with u view to regulate the running of street
cars In this city ,
On the red , or the Twentieth and Saundcrs
street line , Instead of running at Intervals
of seven minutes , ns they do now ,
the cars will run evcr'y five minutes from 0
o'clock In the morning till 10 : ! > 4nt nlgut , at
which latter hour a car will leave.each
terminus making n round trln and getting
Into the barn nt 12:10 : o'clock 11. m. The ex
ception to thin rule will ho between the hours
of 5 and 7 o'clock In the evening when trips
must be mndo tit Intervals ofthrco minutes.
On the Farnntn street line the change will
be from ten minute Intervals to seven min
utes , the first car leaving the barn nt ( > : ' - ' . ' >
o'clock In the morning and the hist at night
leaving the terminus nt 02. : ! ) , and making u
round trip. This would inuko the last car
west leave at 10:15 : o'clock. Hctwcen the
hours of 0 mid 7 o'clock , trips are to be nmdo
ut intervals of live minutes.
On the Farnam and 1'nrk avenue line the
earn arc to leave the stables at it:15 a. m. and
run every seven minutes instead of ton as Is
now done , till OiM p.m. This Is one hour
later than the last trip now. The latter must
bo a round one , making the time of the de
parture of the cnr from the depot nt 10:40 : p.m.
On the green line tlio llrst car will leave
the stables at Lake street at (1 ( o'clock In the
morning , and run at Intervals of live minutes
till 10 : IU p. m. The leaving time atthe Park
ftvenuo stable will bolliU : ! a. in. , and that of
the last car east 10:20 : p. m. , each car on. its
last nut making a round trip.
The llrst car on the Thirteenth street line
will leave the Vinton street stables at (1:12 ( : a.
m. and run at intervals of ten minutes in
stead of twelve as at present , the last round
trip being made utUiliO p. m.
The cars on the fair grounds line now run
every twenty-livo minutes. There is very
little patronage on part of the route , and as a
ronsoqucnci1 , it has not been bought to clmngo
the time now made ,
I.ITIOATIO.V IN rilOSI-iCT. :
Superintendent Smith was seen by a Hni :
reporter and in reply to questions said : "Tho
cable have now run Into and destroyed four
of our cars. I am keeping an account of the
damages wo have sustained and will present
the bill for liquidation. If it is not satisfied ,
wo will put It into the courts. It is not the
horse cars which have run into thocablocars.
It is thcliN which have run into us. The
drivers of the tr.imwav act us if
they had the right-of-way. Hut they have
not. They never attempt to stop. It is our
men who liavo the right , and when two ears
arrive simultaneously at the same crossing
ours should cross llrst and the tramway cars
should stop to enable us to do so in safety and
witli a consideration of the lives that tire
Jeopardi/.ed in all collisions. "
' On what ground do you base your claim
to the right-of-way ! "
"Wo built our lines ilrst. If wo should
build a line now and cross their track , they
would have the right-of-way over us at such
nn intersection. This is tlio custom on all
roads and has been sustained by
u number of judicial decisions. Wo have
never built across their lines , and wo have
therefore right of way over them at every
crossing. Hut they do not recognize it.
Their drivers simply sound the gong , muko
no attempt to stop their cars , and , as a con
sequence every other vehicle must stop or
take the consequences. "
p"Whut about Air. Kitchen's ordinance ? "
"Mr. Kitchen cumo hero and wanted mete
to give him to understand what the railway
company would do in the matter of increas
ing its service , and wanted mo to give it to
H : him in writing. I told him I could not do
that , because the directors might over
I ride it. I told him wo
; were disposed to do the best
we could and as rapidly ns wo could , but that
didn't seem to satisfy him. Wo have now
twenty cars under way , and they will bo
hero before spring. Wo have Just bought
JOO horses and ordered twenty sets of new
harness , and taken steps to both enlarge ana
increase the sbo of our barns. "
"With your present stock can you Increase
your service to the degree required by Mr.
Kitchen's ordinancei"
' No , sir. Take on Thirteenth street for
instance. Wo would have to build another
track there , which , however , wo prososo to
do as soon as the frost getsout of thogrotind.
Wo must enlarge our plant in many ways ,
but wo cannot do it in an instant ,
oven if the ordinance should bo passed. I
told Mr. Kitchen what we proposed to do ,
mid if wo were compelled to go beyond rea
son wo would of necessity take steps to pro
tect ourselves. "
"The damages wo sustain to our stock , "
continued Mr. Smith , "is great. There la
not u day hardly that some of our horses do
not lose a shoo or suffer some injury from
those grip nlots. There nro now fourteen
nulmals laid up and under doctor's ' care.
COUNTV 'vs. CITY.
An Important Suit Soon to be Ilroiiflit
AK'ilnst the City < > ! ' Oinalin.
Vague rumors havu reached the Hni : dur
ing the past two days that Douglas county
would soon begin a suit against the city of
Oiiuilm involving a largo sum of money ,
directly and Indirectly. Until yerstgrday
however , it was impossible to learn upon
What the suit would bo based. The countv
ofllcers wcro all extremely reticent on the
subject , but from a perfectly authentic
source the public Is intormcd that the suit
will bo brought to recover the amount of
money paid by the county for boarding city
prisoners sent to the county Jail from the
police court , during the administration of
Sheriff Coburn. Mr.Colmrn has been ordered
to make a detailed statement , and will begin
work upon it at onco. H will take weeks to
complete it , and tl > o amount will reach many
thousands of dollars. Why this suit is to bo
begun no ono seems to know , unless it bo to
test the validity of the law , and in that case
it will have to go to the supreme court , as
many lawyers who were interviewed state
that so far as tlu\\ know there is no statute
which provides for the demands to bo made
by the plaintiff , it is surmised that the end
in view is to force the city to build a workhouse -
house and care fnr its own prisoners. There
is no statute providing for this , but at the
hume time there is none that commands the
county having a metropolitan city to care for
city otTcndeis , Thus , the suit Is apparently
based upon the assumption that the intent of
the lawicgarding the care of city prisoners
by the county referred only to cities other
than these of the metropolitan class.
The communication of Mayor Hroatch to
the council , In which ho recommends the
construction of a city jail , and the communi
cation of the county commissioners asking
that the city take care of its own prisoners or
pay the actual cost of th'eir board , tends to
show that both the prospective plaint iff and
dofendcnt nro fully nwaro of the trouble
brewing. The city now pays to the county
* llftecn cents for each meal and lltteen cents
per night's lodging for each of Its prisoners.
Two meals arc served , and hence the county
receives forty-live cents for whlch'.it pays out
seventy-live cents , making n net loss of
thirty cents per day for each prisoner. These
prisoners nro not permitted to work , and so
the county cannot reduce the cost of their
keeping In any way.
Y. M. C. A. Orators.
The Y. M. O. A. lyccum was orgaul/cd last
night. About thirty-live young.mcn enrolled
themselves as charter members. After the
temporary chairman and secietnry had been
chosen , Key. J. 1C. Kuslng maao a few remarks -
. marks conccrnhig'tho need of such a society.
Ho considered it ono of the principal aids in
training members. Those present liemtily
accorded with his views. The chair appointed
, u conim'lttco of ilvo to draft- constitution ,
mid set of by-laws , and report nt next meet- '
' . Jng. After the business lud bccu tr uauted ,
It was proponed that some topic bo selected
for debate that evening In order to make nu
estimate of the Interest felt. A committee
was apiralntcd for the purjKiso "which an
nounced the momentous question :
Hcsolved , That the senate of the United
States be sustained In Its coutlrmation of L.
< ) . U. Lnmar ns Justice of the supreme bench ,
With but two or three minutes for propa-
latlon , many elaborate arguments could not
'
be expected. The ob'jcet was attained , how
ever. It was settled beyond dispute that the
Interest wn sufficiently strong to warrant
the boys In Indulging in high hopes for a
splendid society.
Next Tuesday evening the question will be
discussed : Kesolvcd That It is for the best
Interests of all concerned that the govern
ment own and control all telegraph lines.
This society Is n revival of the old Y. M
C A. senate , which was dissolved about two
years ago. From the energetic way In which
it has started there is every Indication of
success.

CIA\VKOUD KICKS.
Ho Ueruses to Give Up III.s Oflluc
As Justice.
There seems to ba some trouble In the Sev
enth precinct growing out of the appoint
ment of Chris Nelson as Justice of the peace.
\t the last general election Charles Thomas
was elected to succeed Frank Crawford In
that position , but failed to qualify. The
county commissioners have therefore ap
pointed Nelson to 1111 Unit position. Craw
ford claims that this action of the commis
sioners is illegal , that he is the lawful incum
bent until his successor is elected and re
fuses to'givo up the books unless they coino
after them with a quo wurranto. Yesterday
Crawford notified the commissioners of his
stand in the case , and based his claim on sec
tion 107 , chapter 20 , of the revised sttatutes ,
which provides that where the oftico of jus
tice of the peace becomes vacant , if the tin-
expired term is a year or more the person
succeeding to the ofilco must bo elected ; also
section 101 of the same chapter which says
that every officer elected or appointed for a
fixed term shall hold his oftico until his suc
cessor is elected or appointed and qualified.
As the unexpired term is nearly two years
Crawford claims that his successor must bo
elected by a vote of the people ol the pre
cinct , and says that he proposes to held'the
cilice until this is dono.

This remarkable German reader appeared
before n siimll audience nt Gcrnmnia hall in
u choice programme of dramatic selections ,

strations of unequivocal appreciation.
The professor 1ms n marvelous
voice , capable of being attuned to the expres
sion of any passion or emotion , together with
a perceptive power which enables him to ana
lyse the feelings of the most subtle charac
ter. His delivery of Marie Anthony's funeral
oration from the forum scene of
Julius Cii'.sar was positively grand ,
H did not confine itself to the orator but com
prehended the rabble , the voice of the citi
zens who speak in the clamor being live in
number , in each case bjlng differently
imitated. The piece was worked up with
dramatic force and intensity and was greeted
with loud applause. The professor loft this

toxicated yesterday and lust night conceived
the Idea that ho was n modern Hercules
and would perform a feat of strength and
daring that would completely lay in the
shade the deeds of his illustrious ancestor.
Mr. Collins , after mature deliberation , de
cided to stop the first locomotive that at
tempted to cross Tenth street , then pick it
up and hurl it over the Union Pacific depot.
He took off his coat , rolled up his sleeves ,
spit on his hands and , taking his position in
the middle of the track , awaited the time
for action. Ho did not have to wait long for
sorni the light of n switch engine
shone in his face. There stood the
the drunken man waving his arm wildly and
yelling nt the top of his voice. Tlio en
gineer reversed his engine and blew the
whistle. A switchman nt this instant jumped
on the foot board , and as the locomotive
reached Collins , soiled him , and actually
pulled him on board. The engine was stopped
a moment later , and the would-be Hercules
was rescued from sure death. Ho was not
given over to the police us one of the crowd
that assembled happened to be a friend , and
took him home. Collins took his defeat very
calmly , only remarking that ho "wasn't
given a fair show. "

OMAHA , .Tan. 17. To the Editor of the Br.n :
The terrible pestilence , dipthcria , is making
its annual visitation. Doctors say that mal
ignant dipthcria is incurable , which Is un
true. There are remedies for dipthcria that
have stood the test for years , that control the
disease completely , rendering it non-contag
ious , the death ruto being less than ono in
51)0. ) Yet the medical fraternity do all they
can to discredit it , acting the part of the "dog
in the manger. " It is terrible to think that
within a few days three children died in ono
family mid two in another , under the boasted
skill of medicine. I claim that 25 to 50 per
cent will get well without medical attend
ance under the medication of the ordinary
domestic remedies , and 4UU out of f 00 will get
well with proper medical care. There is no
more danger from dipthcria under correct
treatment than there Is In any of the common
diseases that afllict mankind. Now for the
cause. In Chicago and Omalm it is caused by
sewer gas. On the tops of the highest moun
tains in Colorado , where there is no sewer
gas , diptherla rages with equal violence. It
must bo caused by being above the clouds.

ment we will place on sale to-morrow :

mere , sizes from 4 to 12 years , at the nominal price of 15c a pair.
The usual retail price for the pants is 50c a pair , and some dealers

The remainder of our winter stock of Boys' and Children's Suits and
Overcoats , have been marked without regard to cost or value , as we
must dispose of them to make room for spring goods.
In Mens' Furnishings , our Special Offering for this week will be :
300 dozen Mens' fine all wool , seamless Half Hose , in elegant col
ors , at the exceptionally low price of 15c a pair. The same goods as sold

before has such an opportunity been offered to economical buyers to
purchase the best qualities for so little money.
