An electric railway will be built to Lake
Manawa before November. It will be
equipped and ready to carry the crowds
before the first day of next June.
This Is the assurance given the city council
and the members of the Board of County
Supervisors. K. II. Odell * and other promoters
meters of the enterprise , accompanied by
the civil engineer of the new company , went
over the proposed line yesterday morning In
company with the- members of the county
board for the purpose of coming ; to a clearer
understanding of tbe petition before the
board asking for the right of way over the
county road , the principal thoroughfare leadIng -
Ing to the lake. The petition of the new
company asks for the use of sixteen fert
on tbe cast side of the roadway , along
which to construct its tracks. The city has
given the right of way to the city limits ,
which reaches a point just three-quarters of
a mile from the northern limits of the
town ot Manawa , which has granted a sim
ilar right of \ \ njBoth municipal cor
porations have given the right of way along
the east side of the road , and If tbe county
commissioners refuse to grant the petition
the new company will bo compelled to cross
the highway at the city limits and run
down on private lands to the Manawa
limits , ant ) then cross back again to make
use of the right of way granted there. The
county road Is sixty-six feet wide , with
twcnty-flve feet ot Us center graded up.
The new conTpany offers to bring the whole
cast halt of the road to grade and Increase
the available driveway to tnirty-flve feet If
given the right of way. For the road in
question the county paid a few years ago
$1,000 , and Ben Marks gave fGOO and E. H ,
Odell J100 toward constructing the present
grade. Both are Interested In the new
railway , and they claim that Its construc
tion will be a positive benefit to the travelIng -
Ing public by increasing the width of the
driveway.
The members of the county board seemed
to be very favorably Impressed with the
proposition , and the promoters of the en
terprise arc quite sanguine that their peti
tion will be granted , They have removed
any possible objection that could come from
farmers who use the road coming to town
by getting the signatures of every resident
living on the county road between Council
Bluffs and Glenwood , with one exception ,
and that man signed the petition and after
wards asked to have his name removed.
The presentation of these names to the
board has materially strengthened the new
company's case.

In the upper chambers of the city Jail ,

dors like a lost spirit , halt clad In tolled nnd

wreck of a child , n girl 15 years old. Her
features are stamped with the sin that
brought her Into the world and further
blighted by the unholy life led in the few
years since babyhood. She was picked up
by the police officers Thursday aflpn.oon
In what was supposed to be an Hdv-incd :
stage of Intoxication while singing ribald
songs and executing decidedly Immodest
dances on the street. She gave the name
of Nellie Robinson , and said she lived on
Twelfth street am ] Capitol avenue , Omaha.
She was brought over In a buggy by two
lewd women , who took her to a side street
saloon , and , after getting her drunk , aban
doned her near the corner of Bnyllsa park.
When she recovered from the effects of the
liquor given her she proved to be on the
verge of Idiocy , giving with great earnest
ness and tearful eyca the most absurd an
swers tu questions , but adhering all the
time to the story that she was married and
that her husband had been killed In Atlantic ,
la. Dr. Macrae examined her yesterday
afternoon and left the jail sadly shaking his
head. Judge McGee has continued her case
Indefinitely for the purpose of enabling the
officers to further Inquire Into litr ante
cedents. She says her father Is living in
Omaha and Is a bllcksmlth named Mitchell.

Tho- county auditor has been so nearly
burled by the avalanche of claims and peti
. tions which come sliding In Just before
every meeting of the Doard of Supervisors
that the board has concluded to see If It can I-
not protect him by passing a resolution re
quiring that -all such documents shall be '
filed at least not later than the Friday even I-
Ing of the week preceding the meeting IIt
, which they are to be considered. Itd
J. J. Shea yesterday filed before the board
a claim of $4,100 against the county for taxes
which , he claims , were Illegally assessed Ir
188S , 1SS9 and 3800. Ills claim Is that Uie
statutes allowed the board to assess no- more
than 4 mills for general purposes , and , in
stead of ihnt , a C-inlll tax was levied. le
excessive 2 mills he wants paid back to i
not only on his own property , but on that ofxl
it long list of owners- who have assigne-c
„ their claims to him. The board -will take xlm
thought or two before ordering the clain
paid.

under consideration. They were In the torn
of petitions for rebate of taxes , some litiv
Ing sold out to other parties , some liavlni
gone out of business , and all wanting to bi

The proceedings of yesterday were punc
tu tuated by numerous speeches from lawyeri

Dztectlve Savage of Omaha has earned the
reputation among the local police officers of
belntf a real detective who never sleeps" , at
least In the Jay'time , or any other time
when there Is a chance of catching a crook.
Thursday afternoon he visited the Illuffs to
testify before tlie grand Jury , and when the
motor was passing tbe Pr.ilor saloon , near
the Northwestern depot on llroadway. his
ragle eye caught sight of n. much desired
darky named Kcllcy , who was the chlof
actor In a burglary In Omaha three weeks
ago. He Jumped from the motor and went
for Kelley , but Kellcy saw him coming and
went for the south part of town to renew
his acquaintance with the tall sunflowers
that grow down by the elevator. Savnge
followed , but Kelley was the best sprinter
and had the greatest Interest In the race , and
he lost the officer In the high weeds. Savuge
came on up town and reported the cane to
Sheriff Hazen. and that officer and Deputy
O'Brien took up the chase and succeeded In
locating Kelley In a house on Sixteenth
btreet nnd Avenue A. The Omaha officers
had traced Kelley Ironi Kansas City to

Aullffe , head of tlio Milwaukee American' '
Hallway union , had come to htm with a re
quest from Debs that all the Milwaukee men
strike ,
"McAulllte said that Debs was sure we
would win , " the witness said , "and urged
us to # o out , I replied that If we 'could be
assured that our places would be secure If
the strike were lost tliut the men would
strike. "Not many of them vent out , how-
over. "
A fireman on the St. Paul road testified
tliul he had left his place because of Intimi
dation , and the engineer on the same line
said he- was told that it ho did not leave
his engine ho would never get out of Chicago
cage nllve.
William I. Henry of Kankakee , a switch
man In tlic employ of the Illinois , Indianapo
lis & Iowa , wus the next witness , and one
of tin most Important offered by the govern
ment , because he had personally received a
tolcgrum ordering- him to call out the men.
Mr. Irnln objected to the testimony IIL-CHUS-
It concerned n road not Included In the In

evidence as possibly throwing light on the
Intentions of th ? respondents. Replying to
Mr. Wulkcr the witness produced several

wap received by witness on July 1 , nnd rrad.
"Adopt measures to get Big Four out. Prom

In the hearing today Judge Woods ex
pressed the opinion that street car llnss can

11,000 men and \\omen left work. The
knights In the tailor trade claim to be

conference between jthc commlttoa from the
"
contractors association" another from the
bcdy of Btrlkersr'tli'elforiner ' agreed to nil

Knights of Labo'r , < vliQ' went out , yesterday
have nut-coino. . ; .aity agreement with the
bosses. The strikers will have a big dem
onstration tonight.
The Contractors" Mutual Protective asso
ciation was In session all the forenoon. It
was apparent that they were not all dis
posed to give the bonds required by the
striking lallors. Secretary Wllkowskl of
the association admitted that some of the
members objected to giving bonds. The as
sociation will not adjourn until they have
agreed upon some plan for united action.
They have Issued a circular to the manu
facturers which practically admits that they
have acceded to the demands of their former
workmen and abklng them to aid them finan
cially by raising the- scale of prices. If the
manufacturers do not do so It Is probable
that the contractors will Join hands with
their old employes In a war upon the manu
facturers.

H. V. Stuart Palmer , aged 30 , n wo.ilthy
Englishman , Is lying In a very precarious
condition In one of the private wards of the
general hospital at N'lagara Falls. On the
morning ot July IS he came from New
York and registered at the Queen's Royal
hotel , Nlagara-on-the-Lake , a few miles be
low the Falls. In the afternoon he went
bathing from the end of a long , floating
walk In front of the hotel. On diving he
struck the bed of the river with such force
that the concussion fractured his vertebral
column. He was carried to the Queen's
Hoyal hotel.
A consultation was lulcl between the phjsi-
clans , and an operation was deemed neces
sary , us the patient's body was paralyzed
from the neck down. It was found upon ex
amination that > -ertebrae five and six were
distorted iind ftaclured , compressing the
spinal cord ta such an extent as to cause
paralysis. The doctors removed the fractured
parts successfully by sawing them away.
Antiseptics- were used , the wound dressed
and the patient was removed to the general
hospital.
At the hospital his temperature was found
to be 10olfc , which ia abnormally high , 108
being sure death , except In the case ot sun
stroke. There is said to be no apparent InJury -
Jury to the spinal cord , except that from In
flammation caused by the operation. The
patient Is qulfg conscious , talks freely to the
nurse , Buffers no pain whatever , being
paralyzed below the neck , nnd the respira
tory process is maintained purely through
the diaphragm. The patient Is quite con
fident and hopeful of recovery , although he
has lost all control of his limbs. At short
Intervals ho takes small quantities of cracked
ice , beef tea , brandy and peptonlzed milk as
nourishment.
The doctors pay that In the majority of
such cases the lower the seat of the Injury
the better the prospects of recovery , and
the less the spinal cord Is Involved In the
Injury the greater the chance of successful
I surgical operation.
Sir. Palmer Is athletic , has youth and
vigor on his side , Is extremely hopeful , and
Is buoyant In spirits , having heard that his
wife , had left England , and Is coming via
.New York on one of the ocean greyhounds.
The doctors say that If Palmer really pulls
through his case will prove almost a miracle
In the history of surgery.

A Maine soldier tells the Portland ex
press how he got a tidbit while his regiment
was marching along a hot and dusty road In
southern Pennsylvania. Orders wore very
strict against foraging , but In spite of them
a soldier suddenly sprang out of the ranks
In pursuit of a fat gobbler standing among
, , the sumach bushes on the roadside. The
turkey started off in a hurry , with the man
after him. Major Brown called out angrily :
"Halt ! What do you mean ! Halt ! " A few-
, hurried steps and the soldier laid the turkey
low with a blow from Ills rifle barrel.
, "There , dura ye ! " he exclaimed as he picked
It up , "I reckon you'll understand that when
the major says halt he means halt ! "
