THItOWX INTO Tltn TAltl ) .
Mrs. J. H. Harris , of 111 ! ) South Ninth
street , stated that n World solicitor had
called on her and nsitcd for subscription to
his paper. "But , " she said , "I told him thnt
wo were taking THIS Bun ; thnt wo were very
well satisfied with It , and that wo did not
care to have his paper sent to us. The jinpcr
ic < ts f/iroii'Ji / ' Into the I/mil , though , nnd when
the collector came around with his bill , I
sent word to the ofllco that wo
HAH NOT stii ) cimun
for the paper , nnd that wo did not want It
and would not-pay for It. I told my husband
that I supposed it was more of an advertis
ing scheme than anything else , the leaving
of the paper nt our house , and that I did not
expect that they would insist on collecting
the subscription money.
"It would sccni that names are taken for
the subscription list without consulting , or
ngalnst protests of , people to whom the
paper Is sent. When the collector called on
mo 1 told him that wo had not oven sub-
ecribcd for the paper. I guess ho had been
around to several places collecting that
morning , because he Bald that
Evci'uboily luul tohl lilm the same ( Jidip ,
nnd that the man at the World ofllco must
have gone around to half of Omaha , taking
names of people , without obtaining their
subscriptions , and placing them on his list.
MV husband and I , being aware of these pro
ceedings , did not pay so much attention to
our liability on the leaving of the paper , con
sidering thnt advertising was at the bottom
of the -whole matter. "
irs. Hairls informed the reporter that
the World had been delivered to Mrs. C ,
Kim ball , at 1115 South Ninth street , by the
same means as it had found its way to her
homo.
DID NOT W.\J > T IT.
Mr. D. T. Lohncs , 1105 South Ninth street ,
says that some time ago n gentleman called
on him.
i"I told the solicitor that I was taking Tnu
BEK and the Dispatch both and did not want
the World. 'Well , ' said he , 'every extra
subscriber makes matters so much
the better for mo. ' It was on
a Tuesday thnt he was hero.
Ho said that ho would give mo the World for
the balance of that wcclc and the next week
for 10 cents , nnd that I could compare it with
TUB Bnn and the other paper. Ho said that
no collection was made until the expiration
ot the pnrlod of subscription.
"Whon the end o * the week carne around
another gentleman called on mo and wanted
to know If I would subscribe for the World ,
l.told him that I did not take it ; that 1
' WAS TAKING THE HUE
r and Dispatch , and that "I was satisfied with
thorn. I did not want his paper any more ,
t aid ; could not take It , but ho wrote down the
Street , number and the name and went off.
The paper commenced coming then and I
TOLD MI WIFE TO STOP IT
OB soon as they came around for the pay.
That was nearly a month ago. My boy Leon ,
who was going to school with the carrier of
the World , was instructed to see that
tbo paper was stopped. Ho told the
carrier that wo had not subscribed
for the paper nnd that wo did not wani. it ,
but the boy claimed ho had been onlercd by
somebody to throw the paper Into our jra
nnd that ho was compelled to obey the order.
"The paper was throtvn over the fence
from the alloy i ight along , and it would lay
in the yard until
THE DOO DISCOVERED IT
and chewed nnd chased it mound llio prem
ises. Some of the neighbors at different
times have picked the sheet up and brought
It to the door , but wo have always told thorn
.that wo had no use for it , and did not
1 want It.
"Wo have never paid for It. Last night
when the boy carne around with tlio paper I
Hold him the same thing that we had no use
tor it and did not want It. "
TI1EV Allli AM , IvICKINO ,
"My llttlo boy Leon told the carrier Just
'tho other day that his mother had ordered
the paper stopped two or three times , and
aid that she would not pay for it. The
carrier responded that 7it c out of ten of
MB customers were making the same com
plaint. "
Mr. Lohnos said that he had , taken Tne
BKE EC von .years except , last summer , when
be was out of the city , and on ono long stay
'at ' Cheyenne ho had had the paper forwarded
'to him every day.

J. O. Klmball , of 1115 South Ninth street ,
ptatcd that ho had heard his wife say that
the World hud been delivered nt his house
for about a week , but that she had com
plained to Bomo ono connected with the paper
that no subscription uad been solicited or
given ,
COULDN'T OIVK IT TO inn.
M. Silver , who Is the proprietor of a grocery -
cory at 1824 South Fifth stiect , ordered the
_ carrier of the World not to leave that paper
'on his door step. This demand was ren
dered necessary by the nightly unbidden
ppeuranee of the World in front of his
Btoro. Ho has not succeeded in heading off
the carrier who drops u paper nt his iiuui-
\ > tT without authority.
A number of similar complaints from
other parts of the city have reached this
office , but it Is unnecessary to append them
at this time. '

Another big sticot railway war Is again on
lit the courts. I.ato yesterday afternoon the
Omaha Motor company secured u tempoiary
Injunction in the district court enjoining the
Omaha Street Hallway company from laying
tracks or entering upon Commercial street ,
'Ames avenue' an'd 1'axton street , extending
across Thirtieth , and thence nn Tlihtlcth
north to the city limits. The board of public
\vork was also temporarily restrained from
Issuing u permit to the Street Kilhvuy com

row the motor company , of which Dr.
Mercer In president , comes back In thoshapu
of an answer to the petition , and alleges that
the cable nnd homo railway * uro not n cor-
por.itlon , and questions the legality of its
franchises.
In Its reply the motor sots up that its
opponent Is not n corporation , organized and
existing under the laws ot the state ; that
the Omaha Horse llnllway company .was
organized under n law for the promotion of
building horse railways In ISO" by nn * net
passed by the legislature ot the territory of
Nebraska. Under this law the horse rail
way company existed , 'llio Cable tramway
company claimed to bo a corporation under
the general laws of the otuto until last Jan'
tiary. The motor cownani now alleges thnt
the two companies lno nonta and cable
tramway consolidated their two charters ,
organizations nnd franchises , Into a now cor
poration , under the name and style of the
Omaha Street Hallway courpany. The de
fendant to the suit denies 'that the latter
company became vested with all the
rights , privileges , franchises and pow1
crs of the corporations before they
consolidated. The motor , In Its answer ,
denies that the property owned and operated
by the two companies is not owned nnd
operated by the Omaha street railway ; that
the pretended agreement and action of the
companies , in so fur ns it alleges to have
authority for any such agreement or action ,
Is unconstitutional and void ; that the agree
ment ot consolidation was made wholly with
out power or authority , there being no law
In this state authorizing the consolidation of
any such corporations.
Tiic motor also states that It made applica
tion to tno board of public worlts to go upon
Thirtieth street April 'JO , and that the appli
cation is still unduU'rinlnod , consequently it
does not want the Omaha street railway to
bo granted ono.
All the streets mentioned are now tied up
to the different companies.

Mr. Nat C. Goodwin , who Is rated by many
critics as the cleverest actor in comedy that
is upon the American stage to-day , will ap

farce , "Lend Mo Five Shillings , " nnd Mel-
ford's farcical comedy , "Turned Up. " Tills

bly , outside of Joseph Jefferson , thcro is no
actor in America who possesses the ability
for polished high comedy acting that Mr.
Goodwin docs , nnd it is morally certain that

The firm of Hlco & Dixoy has been dis
solved , but the former will continue to man
age the latter and pay him a salary.
The comedy , "After Dark , " which was
booked at the Boyd the last two evenings of
next week has been cancelled owing to its
inability to reach Omaha.
Omaha lodge of Elks will take their second
annual benefit at Boyd's opera house on
Monday evening , May 20. Their attrac
tion will bo In the nature
of a minstrel llrst part fol
lowed by an olio of specialty acts ,
and conclude with W. It. Goodall's farce
comedy burlesque on Mr. Nye's opera , entl-
titlcd "Mr. Sampson , of South Omaha. "
The entire performance will be given by
local talent. From flfty to seventy Elks ,
including several prominent citizens , will

Music , principally negro melodies , is to bo a
feature of the programme.

of "Cinderella , " has been prepared for the
occasion. Besides the soloists there will bo

an orchestral accompaniincnt.of twenty-four
pieces.
The Swedish ladles' octette , from Stockholm

If current direct posslp has any founda
tion , it Is snfo to predict , on the strcnRth of

nronolcss tlmn ono hundred candidates In
Omaha for the Jlvo places on the par It com

for Information on the subject , replied :
"Thoy nro lesion.11
Ono week from next Tuesday the district
Judges will appoint flvo men to constitute a
board of park commissioners , and as the
titno approaches for this ofllclal act to bo
consunmtcd , Interest Increases correspond
ingly. Slnco there Is no compensation worth
mentioning connected with the odlco , It
seonis to bo n source of great sur
prise to everybody to know that so
many men asplro to the position. "It simply
shows , " said ono citizen , "Unit they are In
terested In having a system of parks estab-
tablishcd , and willlncrlv volunteer their ser
vices regardless of expense or Inconvenience ,
to do the .work , "
Another suggested that many of the can
didates lira inspired by sclllsh motives mid
have property interests they desire to dls-
pose of. Hut the uioro prominent , men men
tioned are being urged by their friends , and
thov have expressed themselves as fooling
willing to sacrifice personal convenience for
the public ( rood.
Among the list of names now on fllo with
the Judges nro such well known cttbcns as
Dr. Georno L. Miller , Herman Kountro , A.
J. Popplcton , Clark Woodman. John Grant ,
J. J. Urown , J. H. Millard. Andrew Hose-
water , C. S. Montgomery , Jnmqs Crclghtou ,

lield , J. II. Lacy , Aaron Heel ,
Major J. L. Dennis , James L.
lilack , Fred Uohra , Colonel S. S. Curtis ,
George Smith , George Paul , E. L. Emery
and i\ host of others. In fact , tlicro are so
many In the ruco that it was found impossi
ble to cot a complete roster of them. The
Judges declined to divulge any information
regarding candidates saying that to do so
would bo an act of betrayal" their part of
the trust imposed on them. Ono Judge said.
that the appointments would not bo made
until the second Tuesday in this month ,
which la the latest data the matter can b
extended.
The IcglslatwcD actQ creating ao
board of park commissioners for
cities of the metropolitan class
fixes the membership of sucu boards at flvo.
They may elect ono of their number chair
man , whoso compensation is placed at ( COO
per annum. The other four can draw only
$ 200 each. The duties prescribed are in sub
stance that tlicv shall designate such lands
and grounds as may bo deemed necessary to
bo used for park purposes , employ a secre
tary , landscape gardener , superintendent ,
keepers , assistant superintendent and keep
ers , as well as such laborers as may bo re
quired. Much is expected from the
llrst board ; therefore all inter
ested parties manifest great anxiety
to see good men appointed men
who will take pride In the work delegated to
them ; men whoso means and leisure time
from private affairs will permit them to give
It much of their attention.
If indications go for anything , Dr. Miller
and John Grant have the lead. While the
doctor insists that ho is not an applicant ,
strong influence is bein < ? brought to bear
upon the judges to name him as one of tno
lucky flvo. A powerful petit ion , asking for
John Grant to bo appointed , has been' filed.
Fred Behm is also well backed
by a numerously signed petition.
Judge Poppleton and Herman Kouutzo
have retrained from making any
efforts , but an army of friends are pulling
the ropes for tl.ein. S. S. Curtis Is likewise
in the front rank , and It is generally con
ceded that ho would bo 'an excellent selec
tion. Neither Millard , Montgomery , nor
Martin have indicated an anxiety to servo ,
but they are favorably mentioned. As
everybody admits the absolute necessity of
having a civil engineer on the board , An
drew Uosowater's chances are largely In the
ascendency.
Mr. W. H. Alexander , expressed himself
about in this strain : "John Grunt , would ,
I think , bo as fit a man for
chairman of the board as wo
could get , and with four good men to back
him , say Dr. Miller , Augustus Pratt , An
drew Hoscwater , an engineer , and C. S.
Montgomery , a lawyer. 1 am certain wo
would got the right kind of work dono. "
There nro probaoly n dozen slates , on all of
which the names of Miller and Grant figure.
Souio add Kount/o. Popploton and Hosc
water ; others Creignton. Uoehel and George
Smith , while another has Curtis , Mont
gomery and Hosewatcr.
The anxiety this tlmo is based mainly on
the fact that this , the first board , will Imvo
upon its shoulders the responsibilitv of map
ping out the park system , leaving their suc
cessors to carry out the plans laid down by
them. It Is impossible to predict , as yet ,
whut the commissioners , whoever they maybe
bo , will attempt to do this spring.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Mr. Anderson Hauls Glerk JToolio
Over the Coalw.
Chairman Mount presided at yesterday
afternoon's meeting of the county commis
sioners , nt which Messrs. O'Keolfe , Andcr
son and Turner wore present.
It was qulto a tame session , nnd nothing
but routine matters were discussed , except
that Mr. Anderson made an effort to revolu
tionize the county's ' stationery department.
Ho produced the bill of a printing house for
six chattel mortgage records , but Cqunty
Clerk Roche could only show up four of the
books. Mr. Anderson stated that Sloman's
chattel mortgage company hud purchased
ono of the records from the clerk. The two
missing books , Mr , Hocho said , wore not in
dexed when ho received them and ho sent
them back. He presumed that the printing
house had not credited the county with thorn.
Mr. Anderson thought that some steps should
bo taken to look into the stationery depart
ment , and Mr. Hoche asked that the matter
bo roforrcd to n committee and have au in
vestigation mado.
Mr. Anderson said that there were orders
for some of the records in March , and that
bills for them came In In February , Ho could
not account for that kind of business ,
and did not think the county should
bo Jn book store for outsldo
concerns. Mr. Hocho. explaining , persisted
that two of the books had boon sent back to
the printer nnd that he had sold none ot the
county's stationary. The cost of each record
"It's a cold day when you can catch mo In
any steal , " savagely remarked Mr. Hocho to
Mr. Anderson ,
"It will bo investigated , " was the re
sponse.
The matter of Investigating the stationery
department , was referred to the entire
board.
Henry Gibson , of the printing house which
printed tlio records , was seen last night , and
stated that Mr , Hoche was not at fault , as a
clerk in the printing house had made an
error In not crediting Mr. Hocho up with the
books returned. If anyone is to blame , Mr ,
Gibson says , thnt it Is the printing house ,
Mr , Anderson offered a resolution , In
structing the county attorney to take the
proper legal stops to require County Clerk
Hocho to turn over t-2.1 , an amount over the
expenditures of the oflleo up to January 1 , to
the county treasurer , Mr , Hocho was present
and stated that It was not necessary , Mr.
Anderson said ho knew It was not necessary ,
but that ho had put up with the negligence
of many county onlcors as long as ho in
tended to. Mr , Kocho uiado a hasty exit and
had his deputy pay the money into the treas
ury ut once. The deputy rushed Into the
treasury and used for a receipt for the
money. It was ( riven him.
A bill of Snorltr Coburn for 333 for depu
ties whu did Hcrvico at the fair grounds dur
ing the fall of iwr , was referred to the
tinuucn committee. In regard to the matter
the county attorney , who nad been asked for
an opinion , sUtcd that the elultn was legal If
the county cotnmUiloiier < rrtctCrmlnccl that It
was nccrstnry for the employment of the
deputies.
In another opinion the county attorney , re
garding the pay of assessors , Mated thnt * the
law provided Unit they we * irot entitled to
compensation until theirs work was com
pleted , but at the same tlmo It wns not com
pulsory with the board to require thorn to
llnlsh their work before they received any
pay for their services.
Samuel Cotnor nnd others petitioned the
boar ! to remove the itest-nouso from Its
present location nt the naHtvast , corner of
the poor farm , as It was a njilsnneo nnd n
detriment to adjoining property. The peti
tion was referred to the city council.

It. The chairman was directed to slen the
petition for grading from block 0 to the west

A LADY BOOMER-S SCOOP.
How She Scoured n Plcco of Exclusive
News.
An Horn recently published regard
ing Miss Daisy Nannottu ( not Marietta )
the foinalo Oklahoma boomer , recalls
to of this ' " "
memory ono girl's "scoops"
made for the Louisville Courier-Journal
while the writer was city editor of that
paper several years ago.
Miss Daisy WHS an irrepressible
hanger-on about the newspaper offices
of Louisville , writes a correspondent of
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat , and her
ready wit and sharp tongue made her a
general favorite with the reporters , in
whose room she was a regular visitor.
Her ambition then , although at the
time omyloyod in the public schools as a
teacher , wns to bocohio a reporter or
society editress , and was occasionally
found convenient to give her an assign
ment at a wedding , etc. , and through
this she soon became familiar with
newspaper work , and thoroughly under
stood the value of a scdop ,
It wns probably 2 o'clock on one of the
stormiest mornings of the winter that I
sat at my desk waiting the return of
ono or two absent ' 'district" reporters ,
who , wore making a final round of the
police stations. ' 'i ' , .
All the other reporters had been re
lieved for the night , and I was alone in
the city rooms. A sufldon ring of the
telephone waked mo out a semi-doze ,
and , answering the call , I found myself
talking to Miss Daisy , who was at the
Tenth and Maple streets depot of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad , a milo
away.
While passing the station on her way
homo she had learned , by accident , of
a bad wreck out on the line some twelve
or fourteen miles distant , and a special
carrying several surgeons and a wreck
ing crew , was about to leave for the
scene of disaster. I was informed by
her that the news of the accident wa's
known only at the depot , and that there
was not a reporter in sight.
As the train was about to leave , and
it would bo impossible to got a man to
the station in time to catch it , I ac
cepted Miss Daisy's offer to accompany
it nnd wire us a report of the accident
in time for the regular edition , which
generally wont to press about 8:30 : or 4
o'clock a. in.
About 3:30 : o'clock a messenger boy
arrived , bringing us a very readable
and newsy account of the disaster ,
which had resulted , if my memory is
not at fault , in the death ot two em
ployes of the road and the injury of
two others , and had boon caused by a
largo tree being blown down and fall
ing across the track.
Miss Daisy had boarded the special ,
visited the wreck , gathered all particu
lars obtainable and then walked nearly
two miles to the telegraph station to
got off her special , which proved to bo
a very sensational piece of exclusive
news in the Courier-Journal of that

a'claim in Oklahoma she will manage
to hold it and take care of herself in all

Sir John A. Mncdonald.
Sir .lohn A. Macdonald is thus re
ferred to in the Cosmopolitan , where
his portrait is the striking frontispiece
of an excellent article on "The Cana
dian Legislature : " t
"When ho shakes his head in a
laughing piissago-of-arms , his long hair
sways to and fro upQuJiin shoulders ,
like the mane of an old 1/oni in cheer
ful defiance. And ho isjan , old lion
the "Grand Old Man" ottha Dominion ,
and one of perhaps half ndzon of the
world's greatest porsonaUs ) } of to-day.
The mobt striking feature of his face ,
into which a strange. ? could not take
the merest glimpse without/ becoming
immediately impressed ! ' with tliu fact
that ho was in the pm < oiieit of a
great man , is hist aiyps , which
nro as keen nnd as full jp. ( vitality and
observation as those of cn .stripling of
twenty. In his place ( liirUio house
nothing escapes him , $ und ho sits
through the debates null ) the small
hours with unlhigging interest and an
endurance really roinurlutblo. Ho is
tall and erect , nnd bearhiinsoH with
something of military 'alertness. He
generally wears a black diagonal morn
ing coat and vest , and a collar of the
Gladstone shape. Sometimes , however ,
ho appears in n tailless and jaunty
Bohemian vol vet coat , but there is onb
peculiarity of his dress which ho sel
dom varies , Ho has a penchant for
bright rod London ties , and , except
whf.Mi in ovonlng droso , rarely wears
any other hue. Several people have
endeavored to discover the secret of
Sir John's London tio-mul < or , hut in
vain ; the genius remains an interesting
incognito. "

Smooth Saloon IjtcciiHcs.
The saloon men continue to drop into the
city clerk's ofllco and deposit their monthly
offerings on tlio municipal altar. The ruling
of Judge Aylcsworth disconcerted the mayor
temporarily , but the matter has been
smoothed over , and the saloonists now come
in willingly and pay their license. The only
effect of the outbreak was to raise the sum a
little , so us to include the marshal's fees. It
developed that the marshal wns entitled to
fees of $2.10 in each and every case , and as
the city wanted an oven $25 per month , the
fees had to bo inclndod in the lino.
It uow costs the budge dispenser $27.10 per
month to secure the good will of the mayor
and other city officials and consequent im
munity from the raids of the police and mar
shal's forces. Although a truce is patched
up bctwcon the mayor and marshal , and an
open rupture no longer threatened , yet these
two officials nro not dwelling in abiding love
for each other , but each is pursuing his own
way on the you-lot-mo-alone-and-I-will-you
plan. Each thinks himself capable of at
tending to his own business , and will brook
no Interference from tbo other.
