8 THE OMATIA DAILY JlISKt WISPKISSDAY , IXKCISMnKtt 18 , 18i)5 , ATTACK ON THE PARK BOARD Its Legal Existence Denied by the Oily in Doano Dispute. LAW AUTHORIZING IT INVALID AND VOID Court UrnntN MoilllliMl AVrKi lin HolilH Hint If SiT lf " \\Yrc Pi-rformpil l'iiiuvnt I IN M The mandamus milt Instituted by Ocorg TV. Doane to compel the payment of | 235 n attorney's fees for prosecuting the markc hoiiBo Injunction case In the supreme cour threatens to spread out Into legal proceeding In which the flatus of the park board Itsel It to bo determined. The city attorney , on behalf cf the council , la preparing to flgh the case on the ground that the park bean has no valid or legal existence and that any appointments It makes outside of Its own off ! corn are unconstitutional and Invalid , Mr. Doane's application for the writ o mandamus came up before Judge Ambrose Monday afternoon , and on the phowltiK tha was made In affidavits he Issued a peremp lory writ , or , rather , two of them. One com mandcd the finance committee of the city council to Incorporate ths rejected claim * o $23."i In the appropriation sheet for November mid the other commanded the council to allow the claim. December 18 was fixed as tin date on which ths writs were returnable amen on which the councllmcn were to appear li courl nnd show why they had not obeyed the command. As soon as tlm wrltu were served members of the finance committee took steps tt > fish the case , and yesterday went Into consul tatlon with City Attorney Council. The re milt of the deliberation was the drafting of a motion , asking the court to modlty the per tmptory writ so that the order w.uld be alter native. It was also ai'ked that more time 1)3 given the councllmcn ! n which to make answer to the writ. HOARD WITHOUT AUTHORITY. A number of reasons are advanced In sup port of the motion. The principal ones nttack the legality of the board and the con stitutionality of Us appointments. Thcj are as follows : That the so-called Hoard of Park Commls sloncrs referred to In said proceedings has no vnlld cr legal existence ; that the law purporting to authorize the appointment o said Hoard qf Park Commissioners by tht > Judges of the district court , and by whom the present members of said board were ap pointed , Is unconstitutional and void ; that neither under said law , or any existing law has the Hoard of Park Commissioners any right or lawful authority to employ any at torney , but the authority of said beard Is limited merely to the employment of a becre- tary , landscape gardeners , superintendents engineer ; , keepers , assistants and laboicr : as may bs necessary for ths proper cara am maintenance of parks , parkways and boule vards and the lmpro\ement and l > ? autlfjliiK thereof to the extent that funds may bs pro vided for that purpose ; that tne action o wild defendants In allowing or approving the ' claim of raid relater and Including the same In an appropriation ordinance and the voting I for said ordinance Including sii'-li Item , cacl ; 1 and all In\nlved the exercl&s of Judicial and leqlslatlvc discretion on the part of said , defendants and each of them , and the sanio I Is not subject to control by tha court ? . I It Is also stated that no demand was made en cither the finance committee or the coun cil to psrform the nllsged duty of paying the fee bsforo the issuance of the writ ol mandamus , as in required by and declared necessary by the supreme court. It Is held that the statements made in the petition nnd affidavits ars not In accordance with the facts and that a number of them ore denied by the cnuncllmcn. Even If they were true It Is allied that they do not con stitute sufficient grounds for the p.remptory writ. It Is alleged that by the order of the courts the co'uncilmen were prevented from hiving a hearing , which It Is held Is con trary to the constitution and the laws of the fctate. Inasmuch as the question Is over con tested nnd disputed facts. City Attorney Council announces that he Is confident of o victory. He says that by the granting of the writ Judge Ambrose- has contradicted a ruling he made in the canal case , by which ho held that the park board had no authority to make appointments. MODIFIED WHIT QUANTED. The hearing on the application of the city council for n modification cf the writ was had before Judge Ambrose at 2 o'clock yes > - 'terday afternoon. At the close of arguments the modification asked for wa granted nnd the final healing was s > U for Tuesday , 1 > - csmber 21. In support of the petition City Attorney Cornell nrgtiEd that the facts , as stated In the petition upon which the writ of man damus was IsaueJ were entirely misleading. The finance- committee had never declared that It would not allow the Item for Judge Doane's fee , but had simply retained the bill pending an ln\estimation which had not been completed. As a matter of fact the fen had not yet been earned , as tliu cane had not been decide 1 by the supreme court , nnd It was expected that there would ba a hearing by argument when the case WHS reached. He alto attacked the bill of $35 for expenses , which ho declared was exces sive. He held that It would be > a manifest Injustice to enforce HIP peremptory writ un til the members of the council had had n day In court and an oppoitunlly to show that the facts as stated In Judge Doano's pe tition were not correct. Judge Doano contended that on the faro of proceedings It was evident that the council was not acting In good faith. There were proofs before the court which should that the council had not only knew of tlio contract which was nmdo with himself by the Hoaid of Park Commissioners , but also approve 1 that contract. It had recognized the fact that the servlcss contemplated In that contract had been perfouned by paying th first Installment of the fee. But In tlio incMitlme there was an election , and It to happened that he was unfortunate enough to bo on the u'do of an organization that proposed to change the complexion of the oily council. Consequently when the Hem had bfen approved by the park board It was struck out by the finance commltUo on the ple.i that the city had on attorney who should have been called on to attend to the case. The speaker stated that this pietext was an absurdity when It was a fact that ths city was the defendant In the cose In question and the city attorney was the counsel In opposition to the park board. In granting the modification of the wilt Judge AmbioFc stated that this was merely to establish tlio question of fact which had botn lalsed by the city , If the services had ban performed ao chime 1 In the petition of Jidie Doane It was mandatory on the coun cil to fulfill Its part of the contract , and hs should so decide. Hut If It was shown that the services had not' betn performed he should deny the- application for the writ of mnndumut. Ho then cet the date for hearing. It < ' < M'J > lloil to tllO Tc'IK'lltTN.

Tl.o popular actor , Clay Clement , whose artistic character acting In his latest suc cess , "The New Dominion , " has received much favorable notice , will open n three- night engagement nt the Crelghton , com- meiclng Thursday , December 19 , presenting his successful play to an Omaha audience for the first time. The nature of Mr. Clement's work cannot be > appreciated by those who hnxo not wlt- ntfNtd It , as his characterization of Daron llohcnrtauffen is said to bo entirely new to the stage , being free from the ordinary "wooden shoe" work which Is usually con nected with German comedy. "The Fast Mall" closes Its engagement at the Crclghton with two performancjs today , the usual matlneo being given at 2:30. : "Tho War of Wealth" Is one of the great successes of the teason. It Is an American CPircdy-drama , written by C. F. Dazey , the author of "In Old Kentucky. " Manager Mil has spent n great deal of money In ptcvldlug It with elaborate scsnery , and It Is admitted to be one of the moat pictur esque productions of nn American play given Iti this country. It will be set-n at Hoyd's Friday , Saturdiy and Sunday evenings. The play wau tried In Philadelphia , Pitts- burg , St. hints and Chicago , and scared a gtcnt success. It his been put out upon a vciy elaborate scale this season and with a etrong c.ist will doubtless repent Its suc cess , U Is spoken of as a Vigorous drama of situation and strong heart Interest , trup In Its reflections of life- and ndmlrnhlp 'n Its treatment of a theme that has not been worn threadbare by the dramatists of to day. U Is said to be swift In action , crisp In dialogue , and to present a number of skillfully drawn and striking characteis , and Is acry big scenic proJuctlon as well. Leon Margulles , manager of the Dam- rosch Opera company , wires to Manager Haynes that the report which has ben given circulation here by Irresponsible parties that nil the principals of the company will ap pear at Uoyd's theater during the forthcom ing Onialu engagement. Ills e.\act words aie : "Report nbtunl ; will bring entire com pany of 200 , including all the principals. " The sale of season tickets will continue through the wek at Mejcr's music store. The demand has basn gtatlfylngly larg' , and even , tiling points to the financial success of this notable undertaking. Frank Mayo has escaped from "Davy Crockett. " The loophole through which ho has returned to artistic freedom Is the title role In his own dramatization of Mark Twain's "Pudd'nhead Wilson. " Tor mnnj > turs Mr. Mayo as an ac'or has been under the burden of a great eaccess , "Da\y Crock- oil. " The part of "Pudd'nhend" Is cast in a mold so different that It will surely thrust "Dav > " into oblivion. Mr. Mayo's "Pudd'n- htttd Wilson" Is a sub'le , delicate piece ol character work nml is sure to bring him now fame. This attraction comes to the Crelghton for three nights , commencing Thursday , December 20. The Christmas attract'on at Doyd's theater , opening Monday , December 22 , will be Jacob Lilt's play , "In Old Ken'ucky. " This enter taining domestic story , embellished by nniiy strikingly novel features nnd faithful scenic pictures , Is familiar to every theater-goer In Omaha , and , In fact , has been honored on pilcr visits by the largest patronage ever ac corded a similar production in Omaha. The now famous pickaninny scene haa been widely copied since the advent of "In Old Kentucky , " but It Is claimed for this par ticular band of little darkies that they form part nnd parcel of the play , and are there fore the only'stage pickaninnies whose antics and musical efforts have any dramatic foundation or posses the charm of natural ness. ness.The exciting horse race continues to at tract great interest , nnd ths ether unique features seem to have lott none of their powers of amusing. . "On the Mississippi , " the great American play , by William Hawthorne , will open a four-night engagement at the Crclghton , commencing with the usual matlneo Sunday , December 22 , with a special holiday matinee Christmas. "On the Mlsblsslppl" treats of life In the mountains of Tennessee , along the Mississippi river nnd In the. city of New Orleans. Ths author has selected for bis times 1SG7 and 1SCS ; for his Incidents the thrilling episodes of reconstruction days , and for his characters twenty-two of the types toImvc been met on a trip from Louisiana lo Tennessee In the years mentioned. There are nine pets of scenery. These are the Walden range of mountains , a drawing room In a palatial New Orleans mansion , a levee scene on the Mississippi river at night , In which the colored roustabouts are shown , a floating theater at the river front , the In terior of the Star and Crescent gambling palace , with full gambling paraphernalia that cost $2,000 , the Henry Clay statue In New Orleans , around which a Mnrdl Gras proosstlon turns , a Louisiana swamp , the nld Jail at Kelly's Ferry and the old Tyson homestead on Lookout Mountain , Term.

Howard N , Hattenhauer found the pastime of losing diamonds so exhilarating while In Cour.cll llluffs that he had hardly gotten outside the city before he repeated the operation. The Kansas 21 ty .lotiinal of last Saturday reports .hat Mr. nnd Mrs. Howard N , Hattenhauer of Chicago arc stopping at the Ccates house , uivlng arrUed Friday evening from Lincoln. 'While on tln > train , " says the account , "Ml ? . Hattenhauer lost from her finger a diamond ring valued nt $100 , which was doubly nized us It was a present and heirloom from icr father. Oilier parties on the train where hey rode during the day coming from Lincoln were tf the opinion that a certain laasenger wus In possession of the tparlder , ind he was token in charge by Depot Do- octUo Cou O'llare last evening when the rain rached the city.

After pome routine business had been dis posed cf , on Mrs. Powell's motion the chair appointed Mrs. Peattle , Mrs. Keysor and Mrs , Heller as a committee to devlso a plan f"r helping the Farnam street union dcpt project , .Mrs. Ford then presented to the club n recommpndntlon of the directory , U was that the club should pay to the university extcntlon committee $25 , which should pro cure to all club members the admission to the last of Prof. Hessey's lecture ? . The sub ject of the lectureIs "The Flowers of Ne braska nnd How They Ar Fertlllred. " Mrs Ford moved the acceptance of this recom mendation. Mrs. Frank Cross , one of the club's charter members , who has been In the east for the past year , gave a brief account of the clubs Into which her Omaha club visiting card had ndmltled her. She says .every New ICngland village has nt least one club , and most of them more than one. In their clnbc nt least one-half of the programs arc furnished by outside talent. Hut there Is much freedom In discussion , nnd the speakers are piled with questions. The Chicago Woman's club , after bearing Dr. Sara Hackett Stevenson read a witty paper on "Disadvantage of Being Civilized , " was con vinced that the disadvantages were para mount. Harriet Hosmer , who was n guest of the club on thi same day , expressed her- sf ) as of the same opinion. Mrs. Cross say ? the cordiality extended to guests Is one of the most noticeable and certainly one cf the most pleasant features cf these eastern clubs * . She advises e\ery woman contem plating a sojourn from home to arm her- slf with nn introducing card. Mrs. Tracy announced that Prof. Bessy would make a short address on "Current Scientific Literature" before the Current literature department. Parliamentary practice clnsi will hereafter meet at 2:30 : on the Monday alternating with the club. Psychol- cgy will meet next Monday at 4 p. m. Department of applied economics will here after meet once a month ; first meeting Jan uary 4 , 1890 , at 10.30 a. m. After the usual recess Mrs. Harford , who had charge of the afternoon program , took the chair. The program opened with a song by Mrs. nrkhart , "And There Were Shcphtrds. " This beautiful Christmas music was followed by n paper on "Christmas In Song , " by Mrs. nmma C. Oorden. Mrs. Gordon traced the growth of Christmas song from that first glad peal of angels' voices down through majestic measure of Milton to the merry carols of holly and yule , nnd through the later hymns and songs to the familiar " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. " Mrs. EHn W. Peattle , who was heartily cheered as she came before the club , after an absence of several wesks , read an ex quisite bit of original fiction entitled "Christmas at Goldsburg. " It Is n story of Germany during the plague of the Fifteenth century. One little boy , only survivor of a family , sits by the desolated hsarUi. Ho falls asleep , to bo awakencJ by the cold wind , which , unmindful of the king's edict , has torn open the shutter. The stars outside shine. "Ah , " he remembers , "now It Is Christmas ! " A bright star beckons ! He plunges througli the window Into the air and shouts a Christmas hymn. It is echoed again and again. The song reaches the poor king's heart. He se < ; ks the singer and the plague has lifted ere the stars fade. "Thoughts on the Christ Child In Art" was the subject of Mrs. Kej tor's papsr. Her opening sentence , "In considering any promi nent force in history , tlie greatest Interest to the student lies In tracing Its origin , the conditions of Its Influence , and above all the influence which It has had on subsequent historical events , " Is an excellent introduc tion to the manner In which the thetno was treated. After noting the pluce ths child had occupied in history before the Christian era , Mrs. Keysor advanced the Idea that the sentiment that found expression In the lit erature and art concerning the Christ child was the culmination and satisfaction of man's I llnd groping for the true , the beautiful , the perfect. "Whether or not this be true , " s > riic said , "the fact remains that more luminous light than ever before shone on the p.iths of men. A power had como among men , as poothlng as an April shower , yet more potent than the forked lightning tli.U sunders the storm cloud of the July sky. " In speaking of tile results of the devotion of the childhood which followed In the wake of Christian thought Mrs. Keysor said children had be-en rescued from their former owners and had como to bo considered , as they are , a distinct of the great human family , with needs , priv ileges and lights peculiar to themselves. A conversation was had on the topic "Do Prevalent Methods of Observing Christmas Drlng Into Prominence the Real Christmas Men ? " A number of women spoke , express ing different Ideas as to gift giving , charities , Santa Clans , no Santa Claus , etc. , until the hour of departure struck. A noticeable and practical feature of the afternoon was the presence of needlework In the hands of fovcral of the audience. Christ mas candy bags , drawn work , embroidery nnd one good old-fashioned stocktn' to bo footed ! were observed.

His experience as nn orricer of the Kovornmcnt , extending over Iwenty-elRht yonr * , . and Including many thrilling experience * on the frontier , ns well ns personal contact with the chiefs of many tribes , gave lo the address an addi tional Interest and value , and secured for the S'pcnker the rapt attention of his auditors. Tlio general results of Indian education Imvc not be on satisfactory. This Is because no place Is provided for the gradualc of the Indian school after his or her return to the tribe. The Indian boy comes home from Carlisle or Hampton , only to return lo Iho life of his fathers. The corn dance , the vtar dance , nnd even the forbidden sun dance , may be seen today , nnd In the drunken revel ries may be found the young Rlrls who have rcceUed nn excellelil academic education. "Hut vte should not be discouraged , " eald Captain Beck. "The education of the masses Is always n slow process. When we allow for the Influences of heredity , \\c may think thai It \\ill not take longer for the Indians to reach the higher plane ot civilization than It has other peoples. " Captain Deck emphatically denounced the "riff-raff cf the whites" who hang around th ? borders of reservations In order to sell alcohol to the Indian nnd then secure hi mark on n paper signing nwny his land. He said : "The burning desire of the white people ple from northwest to southeast Is to ob tain the Indians' lands. It Is the people who co\et Iheso lands who raise Iho cry 'Tho Indian Is n citizen of the United States nnd must be nllowed to do na ho pleaeea with hla land. ' The reason It Is so dllllcult to protccl the Indian lands from the grasp Ing , greedy white Is because there has been no settled policy In dealing v.lth the In dians. Tlicro has bsen no perslstcnl effort looking toward the civilization of the Indian. About tlio time on ? policy begins to work well n new bill Is passed and the work must bs begun all over again. "When the present generation of the In dian , the link between the old nnd the new type , passes away then will the education of ths Indian bo more effective. I do nol bo- llevc In the Indiscriminate distribution of buds among nil Iho Indians. I would edu cate the Indian nnd Ihen say to him : 'Hero's a piece of farm land ; take it , till it nnd compote with the whlto man. ' I would nol give land lo the uneducated. If you give Iho uneducated Indian land In the spring the snows of the ne\l winter will llnd him with out shelter. I understand there Is to be some legislation In the present congress likely to Interfere with the work uf civiliz ing the Indian , due probably to Iho influ ence of the covetous whlto tillers of the soil.
