lictltlon Wanted
Last Tuesday night the city council voted
to enter into n contract with the Herbert
smoke consumer company of SU Joe , Mo. , to
furnish four smoke consumers for the now
city hall. Thcso consumers put In place will
cost the city the sum of 1,300. ThU Is not a
largo sum of money , and the councilman who
opposed the contract would not kick If it
could he sho.vn thru the devices would do
nwny with tno smoke nuisance , and save
hundreds of tons of co.d each year , ns U
claimed.
Thcso objectors allege that there Is some
thing behind all of this.
Last winter , Herbert visited the city,1
plnced hli patent smoke consumers
In the hollers nt Uoyd's opera house
nnd then Invited the members of the city
council to sco the test ,
The gentlemen went , nnd n short tlmo
thereafter It was decided to put In the con
sumers. The matter rested until six weeks
ngo , when It wns again brought ueforo the
city council.
The matter of purchasing smoke consumers
wns referred to the committee on puolloprop-
crty nnu buildings.
Mr. Moreurty moved the committee bo
given power to act.
This proposition was knocked out by Mr.
Elsnsser , und the matter was simply re
ferred. '
Nothing moro was heard of smoke consum
ers until last Tuesday night , when n contract
for fourof tlio machines was presented , they
to coat I'IOO. A bond came along nnd wns
approved , three of the members voting in the
negative. Again Mr. Elsasser opposed such
liusty nction , but ho was hopelessly in the
minority. Ho stood up nnd clnmorcd for rec
ognition , but ho could not get It. Then ho
nskcd to road the following letter from Mor
timer C. Sweeney , the head engineer at the

The council was not In a listening mood ,
but not in the least daunted , Mr. Elsasser
ngaln popped up nud proposed to road this
letter from U. S. Jones , head engineer at the

There was nothing that would stop the

Messrs. Hruner , Klsu'soruml Olson , voted In

Mr. Coots , the superintendent of the city
had , will not guarantee the consumers. Ho
regards them in the Hunt of nn experiment ,
nnd In addition thinks they are too costly ,
considering the fact that they are nothing
moro than cast-iron legs sot upon the bottom
of tbo boiler.
City nailer Inspector Stnndevon has no
hesitancy in talking , Ho snys that the St.
Joe consumers will work well whllo they are
new , but he doubts If they can bo used in
the city hull. They will burn the smoke and
nt the same tlmo they will rust nnd burn out
In n short tlmo. If they would not do this ,
they are so constructed that when placed
In the city hull bailers It will bo itupos

Eut in a smoke consumer designed and built
y Its chief engineer , Captain Uoyaolds. last
year , ThU cost 1100 nnd was dimply a brick
wall through which the smoke passed nnd
was consumed. The wall Is located at the
rear of the furuueo , and not only acta as a
consumer but also Increases tbo capacity of
boiler at K'uat Quo-third , In operating
this consumer last rear the company saved
3,000 tons of coal. With It In use the cheap-
cst jrrado of real was used and not ns much

the citv.
Hrtd'the the council desired to have adop

have built , M it is not patented , on four of
the consumers , the city would nave snvori the

There Is nothing nrtlllclal nbout this design.

Property OWIK-I-H on Twenty-Second
Street \Vnnt I'avliitf.
There tire some of the property owners who
are In earnest nnd propose to light for the
paving of South Twenty-second street from
Leavenworlh to the government depot.
Councilman Donnelly claims to haw made n
personal study of thn affairs In this paving
district and consequently knows whereof ho
speaks.
This Is the onlv stroct lending Into the
southwestern portion of the city , nud ns soon ,
as it Is paved it will become ono of the main
thorough fares loading in from the country.
Close to thu south end of the street there
are now in operation llvo larb'o brickyards ,
which now have to haul their products to
Georgia nvcuuo and then down Lcavcnworth
street , going n mile or more out of the way.
With n paving of the gap a continuous nnvotl
street nearly to Shcely station can bo ob
tained.
Mr. Donnelly denies the report nbout the
water nnd gas mains. The gas mains are
laid as far ns the government warehouse ,
whllo the sewer will com ? , ns nn ordinance
is now before the council creating Twi'nty-
sccoiid street n sewer district. It is claimed
thnt the United Sta'es government is inter
ested in. the paving , but this Mr. Donnelly
denies and states that government trams debut
but little hauling in thnt direction , ns the
work is nil performed by civilians nnd by
contract. Ho thinks Shull has n scheme in
socurinir the Injunction. IIo has a number
of clay banks in thnt portion of the city nnd
sells the clay to the brick mnkcrs. If the
street wns paved l\\cto \ \ men could go out and
get tlieir clay frco of cost , as there
nro plenty of lot owners who would
donate the clav In order to pet It carted
nwnv. In this connection the councilman
claims that Shull coerced Dick V'ithncll Into
Joining with him in the injunction case.
Withncll hns n brick yard in the locality and
n lew di.vs ho was visited by Shull and In
formed that unless ho signed ho could not
have the clay at any price.

The First National bank of Chicago does
not propose to submit to" the sale that the
Howcll lumber company made to C L.
Chaffcc Just before it went to the wall. It
proposes to go into the courts and learn if
the snlo was made in good faith. Last night
a petition wns filed in the ollico of the clerk
of the district court. The plnintitT , the bank ,
SOCKS to recover the sum of 5112,000 money

Aside from demanding judgment the plain
tiff asks that the sale to Chalfeo bo set aside

It is understood that the fniluro of the firm

were boucht ut a reasonable figure in the

This amount represents borrowed monoy.

COMMISSIONER MARTIN'S ' LATEST REPORT.
He Snys Hvcrytlilnir Looks
Now and that NclirnHkans Should
J I limp TlicniHolvcH and
lltilsn Mors
Hon. Euclid Martin , one of the Nebraska
commissioners of the world's fair , returned
Wednesday morning from Chicago , where ho
went with Commissioner Scott to select the
site upon which to erect the building for the
Nebraska exhibit.
The locution shows up on the plat as a
very choice one , nnd Mr. Martin says that it
Is every whit ns line us , it looks. It is on a
corner past which the bulk of the travel wllf
How. It Is less than a block from the Illin
ois Central depot , on Fifty-seventh street ,
and the motor trains will dlsehnrgo
their loads directly past it.
It is Inn section with Texas , Kansas and
North Dakota , and is seemingly well worth
the good-natured and friendly struggle that
It took to tfot it. The only requirement is
that a building shall bo erected that will preserve -
servo the general symmetry of the whole ,
nnd this Mr. Martin guaranteed would bo
done.
done.Mr. . Martin favors expending half of the
$ . " > 0KX ( ) In erecting a building , anil Is confi
dent that with that amount NobrasUa can
innko u creditable showing. That is nbout
the siim that the other states propose to ex
pend for that purpose , with the excep
tion of ono or two of the larger ones.
Texas , for instance , intends to put a $100,000
structure , nnd Now York will also do something - '
thing on a moro magniliceiit and elaborate
scale.
"Wo want to keep our end up , " said Mr.
Martin , "nnd wo can do it if we only think
so. Wo will have i" , UUO loft even after put
ting up our building , and that is n good
starter. Of course wo will got moro money ,
for wo Intend to ask something from each
county. That is the way most of the other
states are doing. The county boards nnd fair
associations can well afford to give ? 100 each ,
or some such amount , and in the ag
gregate it makes n pretty little sum.
Now , Texas can't ' make an appropriation ,
nnd they have gene to work through the
school children , They are evidently getting
along all right , judging from the building
they are planning for. "
"What do you think of Mr. Scott's idea in
urging the farmers to begin at once selecting
only the boat grain for seed next year in or
der to sceuro u choice exhibit to bo made in
' I endorse it most heartily. There Is no ques
tion but that this Is the way to secure line
grain und it is none too soon to begin at onco.
That matter ought to bo imitated and brought
to the attention of the farmers.
"Tho stuto world's fair bo.ird will bo ap
pointed by the governor about August 1 , and
they wili'probably act in this direction. The
board will consist of six members nnd a
director general who will have no vote. They
have ten days in which to qualify after ap
pointment , and I expect to see tno governor
request them to meet about August 10. They
would have gone to Chicago to have selected
the site had they been appointed soon enough.
I am better pleased now with the outlook
than 1 have over been before. The grounds
now begin to look like something , and work
Is under way. The foundations for three
immense buildings nro already completed.
Our lot includes about an acre , and is cov
ered with as line trees ns can bo found in
Hanscom park. Tli'o whole grounds could
not bo better adapted to the purpose If made
expressly to order. Tboy are simply per
fect , and ono has only to sea them to realize
it.
"The board of control will meet every
month , but as there are sixteen members it
is not expected that over half will bo present
at n meeting. The fair is bound to bo the
biggest over held , and work In every partic
ular is now going along satisfactorily. "

if this could not bo stopped In someway there

from dntes of payment amounts to $ l,8b9.
Ho also says that in place of the dividends
over equaling the premium required , or
making his policy a source of revenue , they
have always been for a mere nominal or In-
signillcant sum and that ho Inn paid sub
stantially the full amount of the original
premium each year.
Mr. Conncll nlso alleges in his petition that
in 187- the year after taking out his policy of
Insurance ho decided to drop it and no longer
pay premiums , owing to an objectionable
provision in the policy , authorizing its can
cellation should any premium not bo
piomptly paid ton the day It became -
came due. To meet the objections
of Mr. Conncll on this point
ho was told by the agents of the company
that the company would never take advantage
of a delay or oversight in the naymont of
premiums and was assured thnt his policy i
would never bo cancelled until after n refusal
to pay or it was shown that ho no longer desired -
sired to continue it in force. Mr. Council
snys that relying on thcso statements and
promises ho continued paying his premiums ,
sometimes when duo and frequently some
after due. and until the present year such
pavmonts were always received by the com
pany without objection. Ho further states
in his petition that on July I of the present
year nnd within sixty days from the
nnulversnrj date of his policy ho remitted to
the company So9.07 , the full amount of the
premium for the coming year loss the sum of
fl.'l.S'J which had been allowed to him as n
dividend and which , ho .was . authorized to
apply in that way. . Up.to this time Mr. Cou
ncil claims that no dainand or claim had been
made on him for his premium nor bad any
notillcution been civon him that the company
bad or intended to cancel his policy , and the
first intimation ho had of any such purpose
was a letter from the company stating that
hK remittance had been received , but owing
to its failure to arrive in time bis policy
had been cancelled. This letter , however , ns
Mr. Conncll states in his petition , did not
mention any return of the funds ho bad re
mitted , but the money ho had sent to cover
bis lust premium with all that ho hud pro- '
vlously paid was converted to the use of the
company.
This in substance Is the grievance of Mr.
Council against the Now York Lifo. and by
reason of its alleged unfair , fraudulent and
wrongful doings the j : ; . .in tiff demands n
judgment for 81,889.
For the purpose of ascertaining Mr. Con-
noils' personal views regarding the action ho
has commenced n Bm : reporter-had an inter
view with him. Mr. Conncll is much in
censed over the action of the company , and
said :
"Hero I have been paving this concern pre

ing to the representations of Its agents.

put that money in Omaha real estate I would
now have something to show for It. As it is ,
I have only a lot of worthless premium re
ceipts of the New York lifo insurance com

the collar is the return of the money 1 re
cently remitted to tbo company to
cover my premium for the coming year.

Nr.w YOIIK , July 10. When Frank fatnn
zollo sutTomleixHl llio woman lie lovoil to nu-
otbor boenuio ho was poor nnd tlio [ mrunts ol
tlio girl frowned upon Ills suite , lie tiltl not
expect that after sixteen years they would
meet to lovenRiiln umlor conditions moro
favorftulo to the fiilllllmcnt of tlieir ilcslrus.
Prank Stanzolto nnd the woman ho wooed
nnd relinquished in Chill so many years ago
are now In tlio city nnd in October they will
bo married.
Stnuzcllo Is forty-tnroa years old now and
his bnJoti few years younger. Tholr's was
Indeed n romance. Statizollo has boon a
newspaper man , publisher and theatrical
manager. In 1974 ho loft St. Lout * for old
Mexico , whorotiis | ventures were successful
until ho was induced to take n company of
strolling players to South America. Ho was
soon stranded in Santiago , Chili. Tlioro
Stnnrcllo made tlio acquaintance of O. H.
Lansing of Unth , Kng. , who was traveling
with his family. Lanslntt became Interested
in the American and introduced him to his
wife nnd daughter. With the latter Stan-
zollo promptly full In love. Mary Lansing ac
cepted him nnd nn engatjomcnt of marringo
resulted nftcr the young people had over
come the objections which Mr. Lnr.slug made
to the match.
Staiucllc , whoso fortunes improved under
the patronage of the rich Knglisntnan , began
to associate with the young men nbout town ,
to one of whom ho introduced his afllanccd.
lie was Don Allojaiulro Rodriguez , n young
Spaniard whoso father was , nnd still Is , n
nitrnto magnate , Rodriguez was twenty-lour
years old , hnmlsoino nnd well born. Not
being awnro of the engagement between his
friend and Mary Lansing , bo also succumbad
to the charms of the girl , with whom he fell
deeply in love. lie loved with ITio passion of
his race and nt once offered himself to Mary's
father. The latter was pleased , and ufter a
stormy Interview with his daughter , in
which ho ordered her not to accept further
attentions from her betrothed , ho forbade the
young American his house.
Stnnzclle , however , was not so o.isily als-
poscd of. The girl loved him , nnd un elope
ment was planned. At the last moment ,
however , his sense Of honor prevailed nnd he
realized the sacritlco he , n penniless , home
less wanderer , was ashing the girl to make'
for him. Stanzcllu askcil Mr. Lansing for an
interview. In the presence of the woman ho
loved hoi enounced till claim to the English
man's daughter and released the girl from
her engagement.
It was not long after Stanzello's sacrifice
that Allojandro was formally accepted as the
suitor for Mary Lansing's hand. Iii his joy
ho rushed to his friend Stnnzclle , to whom ho
told the story of his love. Hodriguewns
guiltless of intentional treachery , and Stnn
zclle , with tears that Allojandro did not un
derstand , wished him godspeed in his suit.
Frank Stanzcllo was best man a the wed
ding. Since ho saw the woman ho loved
married to another Stanzello hns been a
rover. IIo has made frequent visits to the
United Stntes , and in lb9 ho man led in
Omaha and took his brulo to South America.
Mrs. Htnnzello died in isSi. About a year
npo Stniizello visited his mother in Lcadvillo ,
Colo. IIo remained longer than ho planned ,
nnd , combining business with pleasure , ho
endeavored to interest American capitalists
in the Inrco South American properties bo
had acquired. IIo advertised in various
newspapers , among them those of this city.
Within the week after his advertisement
appeared ho received n letter bearing the
New York postmark. It was from Donna
Kodriguez. Thooonnadul not wish to in
vest in South American property , but she did
want to tell her old lover of her lite. Her
husband hud been dead two years , having
been taken ill with consumption in Paris ,
where the couple had lived since their mar
riage. The announcement was also made
that Mr. Lansing I.ad been dead many years
and that the widow was without encum
brance of nn3' kind , her only child , n girl ,
having died. Two nieces , of whoso educa
tion she has charge , lived with her. Donna
Hoddgucz came to America because her
mother was nn American woman , related tea
a well known Now York family.
Stunzello nt once icplied to the letter this
was onlv a fnw weeks , ago and the old love
was raived. . Tlioro was a proposal of mar
riage , n quick acceptance and Stanzello came
cast , arriving in this city Tuesday , July 7.
Ho engaged rooms temporarily at Tenth and
Oreenwiek streets , where he mot his old
sweetheart , older by sixteen years than when
ho had relinquished bar to his rival , but just
as lovely in his eyes , which were thcno of a
lover again. And that is tlio story of their
romance which has ended so unexpectedly
and so happily. Donna Kodricue/ living
with relatives on West One Hundred and
Fifth street and her lover has taken lodgings
near by. Seine time in the lirst week In
October they will bo married , and Stanzello
will take h'.s ' bride to Buenos Ayres. After
settling up his business there they will re
turn to thi ) United States to settle in Wash
ington. Donna Rodriguez Is wealthy and
Stanzello is rich.
