VIADUCT TAX HEFUND.
I.ltcly Tlmn I'romlncd Ovrr the Onltnanrr
Now lloforc tliu Cotinell ,
According to the prognostications of sev
eral members of the city council there Is
likely to be n lively fight on the ordinance
recently drawn up by City Attorney Cou
ncil refunding the special taxes that have
been paid on the Tenth street viaduct. It
Is claimed that the ordinance discriminates
ngnlnst certain Interests and that If It Is
reported for passage a determined attempt
will bo made to defeat It or compel the sub
stitution of another ordinance that will re
fund to nil alike.
The total amount of the special taxes
levied by reason of the construction of the
viaduct was $37,000.01. Nearly $10,000 wn
paid In but the bulk of It was contested ,
and since then the courts hnve decided thnt
the city had no legal right to collect the tax ,
and the council passed n resolution directIng -
Ing the city attorney to draw up nn ordi
nance providing for the refunding of such
amounts as have been paid In. The ordi
nance was drafted by Sir. Council and rc-
fprrcd to the committee on finance , of which
Mr. Iltirkley Is chairman. About that time
It was discovered that whllo nearly $10,000
In special taxes had been paid
In , the ordinance only provided for
refunding a little over $0,000. U
did not toke long to discover
thnt the assessments p.ild by the rail
roads wore not Included In the ordinance.
The Hurllngton had paid special viaduct
taxes amounting to $ liiC5.50 , and the Union
Pacific had paid $728.49. None of the
Items which aggregated these amounts were
Included'In the ordinance. The assessment
which had been paid by the Board of Edu
cation on account of the PactP.e school prop
erty was also left out of the refunding ordl-
nanro.
Mr. Connell requested the committee In
whose hands the ordinance had been placed
to hold it back for a while until thojrouble
"
over the repairing of the Sixteenth" street
viaduct was settled. Now that the Hurllng
ton had put an end to all negotiations In
that direction by flatly refusing to pay a cent
toward the proposed repairs , the ordi
nance will come up for passage unless some
other move Is determined on.
Mr. Connell , when asked why the prop
erty mentioned had been left out of the re
funding ordinance , said that these taxes
had been covered by other seUlements , and
there was nothing due cither the railroad
companies or the school board. It was bad
enough for the city to pay them what It
had to without paying them money to which
they had no legal right.
MR. BBUNER'S PULL.
Honr a Councilman Secured I"i\orrt Drilled
to Other IVoplu.
The sequel of the recent set-to between
Councilman Druner and the Hoard of Pub
lic Works In regard to the construction of
a wooden sidewalk in front of Druner's
property on Hamilton street , illustrates one
of the numerous advantages of a council-
manic position. As stated In The Bee the
other day , Bruner took out n permit to
build the sidewalk two months bef-jre the
street was paved. His neighbors ilxcd up
their sidewalks at that time , knowing that
they 'could not repair their wooden wr.lks
after the street was paved without violating
the city ordinance.
Mr. Bruner let It go , however , . : ntll a
few days ago , and then put some carpenters
at work building the walk. Officer Jack-
man noticed that the wooden walk was
being laid 'on a paved street , and In ac
cordance with his instructions he ordered
the work stopped at once. Bruner cume
down to the olflco of the Board of Public ,
Works and -stormed' for half an" hour' with
out getting any satisfaction.
But It seemed that the coucllman knew
what he was about , for at the present time
the walk Is going down , and that without
any Interference from the police or anyone
else. In explaining his action in not arrestIng -
Ing the councilman for continuing to violate
late the ordinance the , chief of police has
transmitted to the Board of Public Works
a copy of an order from City Attorney Con
nell , stating that Councilman Bruner had a
perfect right to put down wooden walks If
ho wanted to , and that he should be al
lowed to finish the work without interfer
ence.
ence.Mr.
Mr. Bruner Is also privileged in being al
lowed t'o make all his gas , water and sewer
connections at the expense of tearing up the
newly paved street. As soon as it was known
that Hamilton street was to be paved the
property owners had an ordinance passed
providing that all these connections should
be made before the paving was completed.
Every one but Hruner had this done , and
the" paving was finished according to con
tract. Now Bruner Is tearing up the pav
ing , which was laid only last week , to make
his gas- and water connections , and the fact
that he was able to lay wooden sidewalks
without hindrance seems to have squelched
the opposition so effectually that they .are
Inclined to let him tear up the whole street
If ho wants to.
In the I'Vilcral Court.
The federal grand jury made Its second
report at noon yesterday , prior to adjourning
until Monday. Seven Indictments were re
turned , only one of the indicted parties ,
however , being under arrest at the present
time. This Is Lewis Denno , who Is charged
with Interfering with the malls. Denno
was crossing the country In company with
J. M. Martin , and when they reached Chicago
cage Martin wrote to' n sister at Battle
Creek , Mich. , asking her to send him some
money so that he could get It when he
reached Red Cloud , Neb. Denno knew of
the letter , and when ho and Martin reached
Galesburg Denno deserted his companion
and hurried on ahead , reaching Red Cloud
two days before Martin got there. Denno
called for the Martin letter end received
It , after which he skipped out and was seen
no moro until the case was placed before
the federal authorities and he was arrested.
The case of the First National bank of
Rapid City vs John Fitzgeraldr and brother
Is on trial In the federal court. The suit
Is brought to collect a $7,000 meat bill ,
which it Is alleged was contracted nt the
time of the building of the Deadwood extension -
tension of the Hurllngton road In 1890.
The railroad company , as well as. the grad
ing contractors , are mixed up In the deal ,
and that explains the connection of At
torney Marquette of Lincoln with the suit.
The Jury In the case of the Union Pacific
vs Bracken returned a verdict awarding
the plaintiff possession of the 320 acres of
land In controversy , and $120 damages for
having been kept out of Its possession. The
case was tried before In 1891 , and the plain
tiff was awarded the land nml $240. U was
taken to the appellate court and sent back
for another trial with the above result.
The defendant is a rich banker In Ohio ,
and UK both parties have a penchant for
hotly fought lawsuits the case will go to
the appcllato court again. The case Is based
on the sale of the property for taxes and
the Issuance of a tax deed before the gov
ernment patent to the land was granted.

llnnilannio Souvenir of the City ivllli Mini } '
Kxrt'lliMit I'oiittirri * .
Ily far the most attractive , artistic ami
satisfactory souvenir book of Omaha yet
published Is the neat , little volume recently
Issued by the bureau of Information of the
Commercial club. It Is a convenient volume -
umo of about seventy pages , handsomely
Illustrated with beautiful half tone cuts
of business blocks , public buildings , parks
and bird's eye views of the city. The word
"Omaha" artistically embossed on the front
cover serves as the Introduction and title
to this practical and yet superbly gotten up
book.
The souvenir Is "Intended for general cir
culation throughout the country and espe
cially In the cast , but It Is In reality a
book worthy of a place In every Omaha
library. The gentlemen who did the work
necessary In publishing this little volume
have modestly refrained from taking any
credit whatever to themselves , ns there Is
not the name of a single Individual belong
ing to the Information bureau to bo found In
this souvenir. It Is hut Just , therefore , to
stnto In this connection that the labor
necessarily Involved in the Issuing of this
book was performed by tin- following mem
bers of the Commercial club : Mr. G. II.
Payne , Mr. M. G. Perkins , maimser of the
American Press association , Mr. J. M. Gil-
Ian , secretary of the Hoard of Education ,
Mr. W. II. Alexander , late collector of
customs , Mr , T. W. Ulacklmrn and W. A.
L. Gibbon. The greater part of the writing
was done by Mr. Glllan , whoso many years
experience In newspaper work and
familiarity with the business Inter
ests and public Institutions of Omaha prove
to be very valuable acquisitions.
There arc no advertisements In the book
excepting those of the railroad companies.
These were secured through the efforts of
Mr. Payne. The mnke-up and arrangement
of the book , procuring of the cuts and proof
reading were left almost entirely to the
good Judgment of Mr. Perkins , while much
assistance and many valuable ruggesttons
were supplied by Mr. Alexander , Mr. Illack-
burn an.l Mr. Gibbon.
This Is a volume which the citizens
of Omaha will take pleasure In sending
to their frleiids all over the country. The
matter contained Is concise , practical end
graceful In style. The Illustrations are the
best that could be obtained , and , while they
do not flatter Omaha , they will certainly
attract attention and arouse an Intero-l In
the minds of people who have never visited
this city.
After a short Introduction there follows
an article on an "Agricultural" Kmpire , "
treating , of course , upon the resources that
form Omaha's background 1,1 nil support. It
Is full of meat , rlghb to the point and con
vincingly put. Following this , the book
speaks of the city's excellent transportation
facilities , "Omaha as a Jobbing Center , "
"Our Varied Manufacturing Industries" and
of the "Meat-Producing Interests" of the
city.
city.Farther
Farther on the substantial "Hanking
Houses" are given a practical notice , while
"Omaha Investments , " "Our Religions Or
ganizations" and the "Healthy City" form
the headlines for entertaining and Instructive
matter.
The educational facilities of Omaha are
set forth to good advantage. "Parks and
Boulevards" come In for a liberal treatment
and "Points of Interest to the Visitor" Is
the Introductory line to some very clover
remarks upon the attractiveness of this city.
South Omaha , our "Meatropolls" and
"Opiaha Hotels" are each given two pages.
A very Interesting page Is found under the
head of the "Orderly City" and the "Public
Press" receives attention. The "Platte
River Canal. " the proposed beet sugar fac
tory and the Commercial club arc the sub
jects of the closing articles In the souvenir.
The book Is a credit both to the Commer
cial club and to the 'gentlemen who have
snatched enough time from busy occupations
, to get up this neat and attractive volume.
OBJECTED TO HIS COLOR.
Will Always Wish Ho Had Xot Miulp Ills
Objections So Kniplmtlc.
At 10 o'clock last night a hurry call was
received at police headquarters for the patrol
wagon , the message stating a man was bleedIng -
Ing to death at the St. Paul depot. Ofllccr
Flsk was the first one there , and the sight
that greeted his eyes was sickening. In the
door of Peterson's saloon , Fifteenth and
Webster streets , was a man lying on his
face , the blood gushing from a cut In hU
hand and from his mouth. The man was
Fred Carlsen. Evidence obtained as to the
cause of his condition showed he was
greatly to blame , and he was sent to the
station charged with assault.
A few minutes before 10 o'clock Carlsen
went Into the saloon and ordered a glass of
beer. He was In the act of drinking It
when a colored man , Louis Spady , went In.
As soon as Carlsen saw him he said to the
bartender , "Do you allow niggers In your
place ? " The barkeeper replied ho made no
distinction as long as they behaved them
selves. Carlsen turned around and saw
Spady talking to a friend , and taking the
glass from which he had been drinking
hurled It at Spady. The latter dodged and
escaped the glass , but he went far Carlsen.
He first struck him In the mouth with a
club and followed this up with an attack with
a knife. Carlsen threw up his hand to
ward oit the knife blow and received It be
tween the index finger and the next. An
ugly wound was caused , the artery being
cut , and Carlsen nearly bled to death. When
taken to the station ho was so weak from
loss of blood that ho could scarcely give his
name.
Spady , who did. the cutting , escaped , He
Is a plasterer , and is well known In the oily.
Carlsen Is a stranger In the city , and lives
at Thirteenth and Capitol avenue.

At the meeting of the club last night the
following letter from him was read :
"I have learned with much .pleasure that
you are seeking to have the street railway
extended out on Leavcnworth street as far
as Forty-eighth street. As this extension
would be a great convenience to the many
citizens who have occasion to visit the Holy
Sepulcher cemetery , 1 trust you will suc
ceed In your efforts. "

Sanitary Condition * u round In tlir
J'nlillc .Si'lionlt-lll * InVlilrli
1'ilplU Are Subject.
There are few topics of moro Intercut to
the people of the city tluui the health of the
children attending the public Helmuts.
SupprThtetident Kllxpatrlck , In nn Inter
view with a Hoc reporter , gives HOIK- In
teresting Information. "There arc very few
private residences that are as well heated
and ventilated and kept In as good minltnry
condition ns our avcrago school building.
Loose statements are often made by ihmuht-
less people which needlessly alarm parents.
"One of the largest and most sanitary
buildings In the city was declared many
limes last year to be In such a bad condition
as to bo a constant menace to the health of
the children attending this urtmol. Theiv
were SOO pupils In this school and the per
cent of attendance for the year was ni ; l-lt )
surpassed by only six of the buildings In
the city.
"In this building there are employed from
seventeen to twenty teachers. N'ot a single
half day's absence on acrunnt of IllnchS
has been charged against the icachnrx In
this school during a period covering t o
years.
"High authorities have passed upon tlu >
question of the health of sehool children.
The most notable was the celebrated KnglUh
parliamentary commission , of which Mr.
Lyon Playfalr was chairman.
"This commission reported that since the
establishment of the board of public schools
In England there had been a noticeable de
crease In the number of cases of every form
of disease to which children are addicted ,
except one. And that was brain troubles ,
and In these the number of cases was prac
tically the same.
"Even when epidemics have raged In our
cities children attending school ha\e en
joyed practical immunity from the disease.
At such times close observers know that
children are much safer In school , much less
exposed to contagion than when they are
presumably at home , but In reality are roi < : u-
Ing around at play , entirely away from
parental supervision.
"The teachers exercise continual super
vision over the health of these children.
The Hoard of Health sends each day to the
superintendent of schools the location of
each case of contagious disease and the
name of the patient. This Information Is
Immediately transmitted to the principal
of the school In whoso district the case of
contagious disease Is located.
"Hut the vigilance of the teachers Is so
constant that forty-nine cases In Ilfly are re
ported to the school by the pupils before I ho
notice from the Hoard of Health arrives.
No pupil coming from a homo where con
tagious disease prevails can be admitted
again to school until he presents a physi
cian's certificate that the danger Is over.
"All books and papers used by pupils who
have had themselves or In their homes any
contagious disease are burned.
"One form of disease , disease of the eyes
nearslghtedness seems to be on the In
crease In the schools. The teachers are
very vigilant In this matter also , constantly
watching the light to SPO that It enters
from the right quarter and the attitude of
the pupils.
" 1 am growing to believe that parents do
not watch this matter closely enough. Chil
dren should not bo allowed to read or
study In a poor light. Reading In the early
evening before the lights are lighted Is a
prolific cause of nearalghtedness. Reading ,
facing a light and reading lying on a couch
or on the floor are dangerous experiments.
It needs constant watching and care on the
part of both parents and teachers to secure
even ordinary care for the eyes. Constant
oversight Is also needed to prevent children
from becoming round shouldered and hollow
chested.
"I am of the opinion that Omaha Is re
markably free from diseases arising from
overwork and the mental strain result
ing from unwisely excited competition
In , the schools. There are alarm
ists " ' 'who from time to time cry
out , , against the higher education of
women. Locally there are times when this
outcry takes the form Of n complaint ngnlnat
