"ROir.NDINO THE CORN KB "
The fctreet Car Compnny Cutting
Thronerh the Parle
The street railway company began work
yesterday laying-a double track nnd putting
up poles for on electric motor line itcross the
northwest corner ot Hanscom park The
work was commenced under tbo authority of
the folio wing resolution adopted at the coun
cil Tuesday ntghti
Resolved , Bv the city council of the city
'
of Omaha , the muyor aud parft commission
ers concurring herein , that a right of way bo
granted to the Omaha street rail
way company to construct Its lines
of street fairway track across the
northwest corner of Hanscom park ;
auid tines of street railway track to enter
said Hanscom park at the Intersection of
Thirty-second street and Woolworth avenue ,
at a point ninety-thrco feet east from tbe
northwest comer of said park ana passing
out on Thirty-second avenue at a point 200
feet south from the northwest corner of said
park "
The Tcsntutlon wns fntrodnced by Mr
Chaffee nna wus passed without opposition
Tbe citizens ltvtng In the vicinity et the
park are highly indignant over tbe '
councils action and propose to com
mence Injunction proceedings to prevent \
the comp-iny from carrying out the |
proposed destruction , ns they term tt , of the i
most beautiful portion at the park
The only thinpsaYed by the company by
this right of war , It is stated , is the making
of two curves , oue from Thirty-second street
to Woolworth avenue and ono from Wooi- ;
worth avenue to Thirty-second nvenue The
council some time ago gave the street rall-
wny company the right to lay its tracks on
the sidewalk space ou the west side of the i
park so as to leave the street eighty feet
wide and the citizens seem to think that this 1
was concession enough
The citizens , bonded by Mr George N.
Htetis , culled upon the park commUsiouers
to Induce them to take some stops In thomat-
ter.u'ihis body , however , held that it had 1
no authority to grant or refuse a right ot f
way across the parkand so will not take any
action In the matter
The resolution has not been concurred In \
either by the park commissioners or the
mayor
Mr Hicks filed a petition in the district i
court at 3 o'olock yoiterday asking for a
restraining order against the street railway
company until the case cun bo decided by
the courts , .

ofTua Bir : : Your correspondent has In

to put the mnttcr Intelligibly before your
readers , It Is neeossnry to go back nnd locate
the cause for much of the blttcrnoss which
has caused this lamentable occurrence
When Phillips county was eut from old
Logan , Charles K. MoPhorson was np-
pointed clerk nnd rccordor by Governor
Cooper From that tlmo on a bitter feeling
hns existed between Mcpherson nnd C. M.
C Woolmnn , the resident agent of the Lin
coln town site conuiany , and n few other
politicians , McPherson Is recognized as oim
ot the most Influential citizens of eastern
Colorado , nnd Is also owner ot West
Holyoke At the fall conventions can
didates were nomlnatod on both old
tickets which didn't suit the pcoplo ,
nnd n third was made up , ou
which McPherson was nominated for clerk
The light was u blttor one , nnd its equal
would bo hard to find , Hvorythlng known -
to political sclcuoo was resorted to , and Mo
Phorson cuno off victorious ever both of his
opponents , dofoatlng them by n mnjurity of
fort.v-nin < \ and carrying nil but one precinct
in tbo county This , Instead of satisfying
the parties , Bcomcd only to Incense thoui A
contest was Inaugurated against MrPhcrsou
bj ono D , R. Wilson at the instigation of
Woolman The people , realizing the finan
cial condition ot ttiolr county , and also sec
Ing only personal spleen behind It , hold in
dignation meetings denouncing the contests
and demanding their withdrawal , but to no
avail On top of all cimio the Whlto Cap
troubles and the whole mess boiled over
McPhorson's enemies , always on the alert ,
at once laid the blnmo at the door of the
men who were trying to stop Iho contest
All kinds of rumors were sot afloat , and nil
law-abiding citizens who refused to bollovo
us they did nnd Join them In their clumor
were iioliitcd to with suspicion For n few
days excitement run high , but tt soon settled
down , und nil fair minded people here recog
nize It as tbe act of a few hot bended parties
rather than the act ot such responsible men
as MuPherson and his friends , orof a tough
clomenlj " ns was claimed In a recent nrtleio
W. D , Ivelsoy , ono of the victims ot this un-
fortuato alTair , gives it as his opinion thnt
McPherson had no hand in It nnd deplores
the connection of McPhcrson's name with
the affair Mr , IColsoy Is n staunch citizen
of this city , an attoruoy of nolo , and states
that Mcpherson end ho were great frioids
Both ore Grand Army members
The Inflammatory reports sent from here
nro severely condemned by the people Such
reports as hiding prisoners to Insure their

nnd m mobs for self-protection , nro indeed
to be deolorcd At no tlmo hnve matters as

Stanley's Bhrcivdnens

Kvery book which ho publlshos brings j

ing work on his African experiences
will provo no oxeeption to the rule
When Stanley einorges from the inte 1
rior , the book will doubtless bo com
pleted in the manuscript , and ho will I
have nothing to do but to wait for the
highest bidder and these bids will not
be of a small naturecltlior for I happen ,
