John Illngmnn Docs thn Kvlctlon In the
Most Approved Htjlo ,
.John Dltigtnan , by occupation a constable ,
yesterday afternoon , between the hours of
3 and 5 , fell afoul of n small frnmo building
on the east side of North Fourteenth street ,
just south of Capitol avenue , and smote U
hip , thigh and dormer window , making It
look ns though it had been between the
upper nnd the nether millstone. Colonel
Dlngman was so thorough about his work
that in less than two hours from the time
ho began operations not ono stone lay upon
another , neither reposed a clap board
parallel with ono of Its follows. Not only
was the building r.ued to the _ ground , but ,
moreover , a young man who acts as deputy
constable slept all night on the property of
ono of the tenants of the said building , said
property having been removed oven unto the
west side of the highway upon which
fronted llio structure which was but is no
moro.
As nearly as could bo learned last night ,
the small fr.imo building which was de
molished by the.constabulary wasnbonoof
contention. It w.is slttuted on property be
longing to Mrs. P.ittce , whoso agent is
George O. Paul , who has olllecs'in the
Hoard of Trade building. The tenants were
a Airs. Johnson , her daughter , an old tailor
named Grunberg , and a Chinese laundryman -
man , who disappeared from the publics tra/.o
about the time the first shingle was ripped
off. It also appears that Mrs. Johnson was
in various ways an undcslnibln tenant , and
that the owner of the property could not
collect rentals from her , nnd as she was the
Icsst'o uf the property , it w.ia simply pulled
down and her goods were levied upon for the
amount due.

Stone for Sidewalks.
The breach between the city council and
the Board of Public Works was widened a
little more yesterday afternoon. The cause
is a difference of opinion as to thu thickness
that stone for permanent sidowallts should
be. The council at its last meetiiiK in
structed the board to include in its spsciflc.i-
tions a provision for two inch stone to bo laid
on streets whom brick is permitted.
Vhcn the matter was first brought to the
attention of the board , Major Halcombo re
marked that the Board of Public Works was
the bulwark that prevented the contractors
from emptying the pockets of the people.
Whenever a contractor desired anything the
council granted It , and it is now an easy
matter for a contractor with a friend in the
council to secure almost anything wanted ,
continued the major.
The discussion yesterday afternoon was
along thu line of Major U.Ueombe's previous
remarks. Major Birkhausor , who Is evi
dently standing in with the council nt this
particular time , hoping that lightning may
strike his way , and the city fathers given an
opiKU'tunity to confirm his reappolntmcnt as
chairman of the board , was not In accord
with the views of Major Furay and Major
Bnleombo. Ho voted to comply with the
council's Instructions , while the other twc
voted to Ignore them and reject the propo
sition for two inch stone.

mlttco on police reported that it had been
found that nothing could bo done toward re

ritory. Ho presented a list of the squatters
living in the streets and an agreement upon
their uart to vacate the property upon the
payment of certain claims aggregating Sl.OtX ) .
To this was added § 100 for the attorney who
olfoctcd the agreement.
Some of the councilman were opposed to
the plan , but after sotno discussion thu re
port was adopted.
The Board of Public Works reported that
a majority of its members did uotagrco with
the council on the specifications for perma
nent stdovvnlks nnd refused to Insert a spool-
llcatlon for .two and. a half inch stonu on
which brickls allowed.
There wasn't any row as was expected.
Mr. Stcolo offered a uiotlou that thu com
munication bo laid on the table vlth the
hope that at the next mooting of the council
there would bo a dlfforcnt majority on the
Board of Public Works , and that the council
might then have its wishes respected.
The petition for the paving or Seventeenth
street from Dodge to the alloy north of Far-
nam was declared to bo Invalid owing to the
fact that certain property had been signed
for by agents instead of owners. The matter
was referred to the committee on paving ,
curbing and guttering.

sioners was requested , on"rosolutlon by Mr.
Prince , to report what action , If any , had
been taken on the resolution relating to the
pay of fireman or policemen who may bo in
jured while in tha discharge of their duty.
A resolution , instructing the Barber As
phalt company to resurface Capitol avenue
from Ninth street to Sixteenth street ,
brought Mr. Wheeler to his feet. He de
nounced it as "a thieving , stealing Job" for
the council to go ahead and order work to be
done by the asphalt company , and to then
refuse to pay the bills when they were pre
sented.
Mr. Howelt said he was In favor of going
on with the orders and pay the company
what was right. The company was not
anxious to get out of the contract , as it h id
enjoined the city from taking any snips
looking to n cancellation of the contract.
Mr. Steel wanted au answer to the request
made of the city attorney months ago for au
opinion as to whether the contract could uo
cancelled or not. Mr. Connell replied that
the case was still on the docket In the
district court and that nothing could bo
done looking to a cancellation of the contract
until thu courts passed upon the tem
porary injunction now in force.

WILL ASK FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
uproino Court Will Sntilo the 1'nvinc
1'rohtcm lloird or I'ulilloVork < und
Its " .Soldiers" Three Text of the
Application for n Writ.
City Attorney Council goes to Lincoln this
uorntng for the purpose of appearing before
Ho supreme court and filing \\lth Hint
rlbunnl nn application for a peremptory
.vrit . of mandamus to compel the Board of
ubllc Works to enter Into contract for the
avlng of Twenty-sixth street from Farnatn
o Half Howard street. Mr. Connell Is not-
ng under Instructions from the council , and
s carrying out n pallcy agreed upon to bring
cforo the supreme court all of the Issues
nvolved In Iho present paving controversy.
The petition prepared by the city nllorncy
Lo bo presented to the court cites the fact
.hat March 1 1 of the present year nn ordin-
, nce was passed by the council and subso-
lucntly approved by the mayor creating a
troot Improvement district of Twenty-sixth
treot , nnd certain other street improvement
llstrlcts In Iho clly , and ordering Ihelr im-
irovcmcnt by paving and curbing , nnd direct-
ug the Hoard of Public Works to ad vertlso for
Ids fortueh work. The properly owners were
given thlriy days In which lo dcslgnalo Iho
naterlal lo bo used in thn pavement of the
troot. In pursuance of the provisions of the
irdlnanco the Iward advertised for bids and
ho saino were received , and accepted on
itono and brick nnd those on asphalt re-
ocled , and a second and third advct'tiscment
< n the lallcr material was mado. After the
ccaplanco of the bids the prices submitted
, vero published for the Information of the
iroporty owners in the improvement dis-
, rletj and they were given notice lo select
-ho - materials desired to bo used In the sev-
T.tl districts.
I'ntltlon III Ono DUlrlut.
Subsequent to the publication of Iho no-
ice petitions from the property owners on
Twenty-sixth street were received designat
ing vitrified brick class A. price 81.811 , with
live years guaranty , as the material to bo
used in that district. Attached to the peti
tion was n certificate from the city engineer
showing that n majority of the feet frontage
on the street was represented. In pur
suance of said proceedings the council passed
nn ordinance Juno 2'3 ordering the Board of
Public Works to enter into a contract with
the lowest responsible bidder ! or the paving
pf the ntreot with the material designated
'n the petition.
After the passage of sild : ordinance a duly
. crtilled copy was furnished to the hoard ,
and that thereupon it became the duty of
the board to enter iuto n contract with J. II
tllcy , who had been declared by the board
to bo the lowest responsible bidder. Not
withstanding it was its duty to do so the
board absolutely and unqualifiedly refused
to execute any contract for said paving or to
submit any contract to tlio council and
mayor for their approval , and refused to
auso said work to be done or take any stops
whatever.
For the reasons cited above the city of
Omaha , throutrh its attorney , prays that a
peremptory writ of mandamus issue out of
mil under the seal of the court , commanding
the board to forthwith make a contract and
submit the same to the council and mayor for
their approval , and to cause such work to be
done.
Winked thn Other ijo. :
At thq tlmo the council gave Mr. Connell
.nstructions to institute mandamus proceed
ings in the supreme court it empowered
the Bo.irdof Public Works to cm-
iloy an attorney to present Its side of the
: asc to the court. The necessary resolution
was adopted at a special meeting Saturday
night. It was not until late yesterday after
noon that the attorney's name was an
nounced. The delay was cnusca by the
three majors immediately hopping into the
arena of discord and wrangle. At the time
the secret session of the council 'was held
Major Blrkhaiibor was the only member
invitert to bo present. Major Ualcombo and
Major Furay were ignored and this fact
did not please them to any great ox-
tent. Those two worthies have been wink
ing significantly ever since , and both are
quoted as saying that they hoped the coun
cil would bo knocked hiirhor than Gilro.y's
kite by the decision of the supreme court
when the case was submitted. Evidently
the council was prepared for the majors ,
who very frequently get astride Major Birk-
hauser's neck. The resolution was worded
so that it gave the authority to designate
Ih ? attorney to the chairman. Tills Major
Balcombo nnd Major Furay did not know.
IJuriii ! . ' the afternoon a special meeting of
the board was held. Major Birkhatiser
informed the other two majors thai ho had
talked with Attorney Covell nnd that gen
tleman was willing to take Iho case of the
board. Major Furay was in a frenzy in
a moment. Ho wanted none of Covell
in his , and snid , "Ho Is a
white cap of ' , ho rankest kind. " What
threatened to bo an open eruption was
slaved off by a motion to defer action until a
meeting to bo held a couple of hours later.
Both Major Balcombo and Major Furay re
fused to si'jn a demurrer prepared by Mr.
Connell , and said that they were not aware
that they cared to demur to anything that
might be brought before the supreme court.
Major Blrkhauscr signed , however.
Itlrkhniuar III II tlio Kny.
An adjournment followed and the military
gentlemen disappeared from the room as if
by magic. They returned a couple of hours
later and went Into session as soon as Major
Furay had made known a few things lu
private to Major Balcombo. A copy 01 the
council resolution was read. This was the
first intimation that Major Furay had of tlio
fact that the chairman possessed the absolute
power to employ the attorney. Ho was
not pleased und Covell stock went
up with n rush as It was realised
that Major Blrkhauser held [ the key
to the situation , Major Furay Insisted on
making a suggestion at leasl , but Major Bal
combo says : "What Is the use ? The coun
cil has given us no say In the matter. "
Major Hirkhauser said not n word , but ho
appeared Immensely pleased. Ho had en
gaged Mr. Coyoll and ho said so. Major
Furav again expressed himself on Covell ,
and finally moved to adjourn.
As Major Blrkhausor has chosen Mr.
Covell ho will appear in the case and present
the unso from the standpoint of the board , or
rather from Major Birklwusor's standpoint ,
as the two other majors will have naught to
do with what they term a plot ,

Julia Force Acquitted of the Charge of
Mil I'd or.
ATMNTA , Juno 27 , Miss Julia Force was
put on trial yesterday for the murder of her
two sisters last February. She had kept a
dairy for a year or moro and all through It ap
peared her Intention to some time kill her
sisters. Miss Force's mother nnd two
brothers were In court. The arguments
wore completed today.
After the dinner recess Judge Clarke
charged the Jury. During Iho delivery of
his remarks Miss Force sat Immovable
before the Jury with her face buried in her
bunds. In his charge Judge Clarke referred
to the enormity of the crime , and said tlio
ury should consider Iho prior life of iho
prisoner.
Ho said Iho crlmo was probably without a
parallel unless it be that of the Borden mur
der case , if the crime was committed by
Lizzie Borden , The Force murder was even
more horrible than thai. As Iho judge was
charging the Jury , the prisoner broke down.
sobbing convulsively. The jury remained
out only a few minutes ami at 3 o'clock
brought In a verdict of not guilty.
Miss Force was tried shortly after the
murder occurred on a writ of lunacy and wa ;
promptly adjudged insane. Solicitor Genera
Hill held lhat the proceeding was irregular
as the case should have cone first before the
criminal courts , where the prisoner had tin
privilege of entering a plea of insanity ant
establishing it to the satisfaction of the
jury. This has been done and about Mlsa
Force's insanity there seems to bo little
doubt. She will bo sent at once tc tbo stale
lunatic asylum at Mlllodgoville.

The Stickccn Indians positively assort
that within the last live years they have

spring while out hunting ono of these
Indians came acroh-i a series of tracks ,
cai-h the si/.e of the boltoin of a salt
barrel , sunk deep in the inos-i. IIo fol
lowed the curious trail for some miles ,
finally coming out in full view of his
game. As a class those Indians are the
bravest of hunters , but the pro
portions of this now species of game
lilled the hunter with terror ,
and ho took to mvift and immediate
llight. IIo described the creature us
being as largo as a post trailer's store ,
with great , shining , yellowish white
tusks and a mouth largo unuiigh lo swal

says that the animal was undoubtedly of

liavo told of seeing thosomonsters brows

An AiH'loiu luti-ntion.
Most people probably believe that
stenography is a mod rn invention. Hut
it is not. Homo think that the Egyp
tians , Phoenicians and .lews alike knew
It , but it is unceitaln. It is certain that
tlio Ilrunnnii used it extensively. The
creator of Roman stenography was
Cicero's frccdman , MarcinTiilliiiii Tyro ,
lly means of his "notes" the speech of
the younger Cute againat Catitino was
taken down on the Sth day of December ,
03 , B.C. Cicero's speech for Milo vfas
preserved by means of stenographic
characters. Maecenas loved slonogruphy ,
and caused Auguslus lo take a liking to
it and to establish a system of regular
instruction In 300 Roman bohools. Under
Dloclelian the teachers of stenography
were paid out of the public treasury 75
denarii per month for each pupil. After
the introduction of 'Christianity Iho
popes , bishops nnd fathers used stenog
raphy. In Greece , also , stenography
waa known and employed. Trials and
public upccchesi were reported in short
hand.
