ECONOMY IN USING ASPHALT Barker Company Canght Hauling Worth less Material for Street Bopair , WORKING OVER STUFF TORN UP Mtmro nml Kiiapnr 1'lny Detec tive mill Write n l.rttcr ti Air. iiiilrcN HenrliiK tin Uiiiuilil 11111 * . Members of the Doard of Public Works allcgo to have- discovered what they say Is conclusive evidence that the Darbcr Asphalt company has deliberately defrauded the city In connection with the asphalt repair con tract for some time past. The matter has been brought to a focus within the last day or two , nnd yesterday the board took official action by sending the following notice , which IB self-explanatory : The Asphalt Paving Company , C. E. Squires , Agent. Dear Sir : It has come to the knowledge of the board , with proof that la absolute and undeniable , that you are not fulfilling the Intention nnd purport of your repair contract of 1889 with the city or Omalm. That Instead of using new asphalt for repairs , as you have at all times main tained < was the case , wo find the old ma terial from the streets Is bclngi worked over end rehld where repairs are made. You will take notice that this will not bo permitted under any circumstances , and no claim foi repairs will Us approved by this board BO long as such n practice continues. You arc hereby directed to forthwith discontinue the ueo of any old or Improper material In making repairs. Respectively. THE HOARD OF PUDLIC WORKS , By G. F. Munro. Chairman. In explanation of the action of the board , Chairman Munro said : "It had long been suspected that the Barber company was se cretly uslnz old material In repairs. The board had accused the officers of this , but In every case they had flatly denied that pucli was the case. All efforts to ubtiin any tangible evidence against them had also failed , and members of the boird weto un able to discover anything to suppjrt their suspicions. "That matter remained In ( hat shape until this week. Then it was concluded that us some- repairs were * o be made and a lot of old material had been supplied by the cuts made for the water works extension , It would bo a good time to play detective. Kas- par and I undertook the job , and Monday night wo paid a secret visit to the plant of the Barber company at the foot of Jcncs street. We found the big kettles filled with old asphalt. The wood was plied up under the kettles , but the match badJ l been applied. Kaspar remained nuout the plant nearly all night , but no fire was started. In the morning I relieved him , and in the afternoon the fires wore started and the old asphalt was coakjd up and loaded ou to wagon ? . I followed the wagons and I ever lost sight of the rubbish until I Raw It laid In the pavement on SHIM Eleventh ttrett. This morning Kaspar stoid on watch and ho also saw the old rubbish cooked up , caitcd to the point whore the rep lira woo gfing on nnd where it was laid as now material. ' Doth Munro and Knspar say that there can bo no mistake nnd that they have a cise on the Darbcr company. They saw the stuff they say as It was put Into the kettles and recognized It no old asphalt which had been cut out of the pavements. The men around the plant did not know who they were and the first the Barber company know that the fraud had been discovered was when the agent received the communication from the board. Chairman Munro Is not certain wbother the discovery will have any bearing on the unpaid bills of the Darber company. This will bo determined after a consultation with the city attorney. There might be some difficulty in proving just howfar back the practice of using old material hAd extendctV and whether payment of the bills could be BuoecsFfully contested would be a question for the legal department to decide.

Mayor Broatch officiated for the first time as chairman of the Board of Health yester day afternoon. He earned the gratitude of those present by curtailing the usual longwinded - winded proceedings to a comparatively busi nesslike session of half an hour. The mor tality report for January showed seventy- six deaths , of which forty-two , were of male" and thirty-four females. . According to the report exactly one-half 'of the female de ceased were widows. Dr. Towno is consid ering the Idea of issuing a health bulletin calling on all the remaining widows to get married as soon ns they can and save funeral expenses. The number of blrthu re ported was 127. On recommendation of the health com missioner seventy-three applications for milk licenses were granted. The commissioner wns given authority to have prescriptions filled In city cases at such drug stores as were most convenient to the scene of opera tions. jTho bill of the garbage contractor for haul- Ing' dead animals during January was ap proved , but it was agreed that the board must discover some method of keeping down .the charges at an early date.

SCHOOL BOARD IS WARLIKE Proposes to Get Requested Levy by Man damns , WILL SUE FOR BACK APPORTIONMENT Determination to Clnliu All tlmt I IN Aliened the I.nw Allows 1'ONlllon IIH Slntcil by 1'rcnldcitt HIioiulcM. 1 If the expressions of members of the Boarc of Education nro to be depended on , the clt council will find Itself Involved In some lega proceedings at an early date. The board i\l liava n. special meeting Friday night to con Elder the action of the council relative t the levy. It Is positively declared that th board will decide to bring mandamus pro cccdlngs against tlic city to compel th council to furnish tlio amount demanded fo pchool purposes during 1S9G and that suit will also be brought to collect the dlfTcrcnc between the amounts asked for by tlio boarc during the two preceding years and th amounts furnished by the council. Till difference will aggregate about $50,000 , bring Ing the total amount of additional funds de manded up to $150,000. President Hlioades say ? : "Tho sentlmen In the board Is practically unanimous In favor of making the Issue a once and having the matter decided fo all time. If the law means any thing Its meaning should bo effectually cs tabllshcd and It It does < not mean anything then It Is time to go to work to obtain a lav that will answer the requirements. There will not be the slightest difficulty In proving tint the board cannot get along on the pro ceeds of 6 mills and wo anticipate no dim culty In showing that the council has fallei to furnish the funds required by the board for the previous t\\o years. "It waa formerly the custom for the bean to ask the council for a levy of a certain number of mills for school purposes. Two years ago the council refused to comply am mandamus proceedings were Instituted. Th supreme court decided that the board couli not compel the council to levy a specific ! number of mills , but that It could compe the council to ralso a certain sum of money for school purposes. Following the Intent o that decision the board hna slnco then made no official estimate of the number of mills required , but hatt sent the council a state ment of the amount of money that would bo required to run the schools. Each year the funds have fallen below the amount de manded. I-ast year It was Informally agreed that 7 mills would answer the purpose , bu members of the board now declare that the fund raised fell below expectations and failed to reach the sum demanded. "This yciir the bo-ird made an official de nwnd for $400,000 for school purposes. A tl.o other sources of revenue were- expected to bring In about $235,000 , this left $165.000 to bo rained by taxation. This would Involve a levy of about 9 mills on the present valua tlon. It was the general understanding tha If a 7-mlll levy wore granted the board would endeavor to get along with the proceeds When the Idea of making the levy 6 mill \\aa suggested the sentiment of the board was divided. Some members were In favo of accepting the' compromise , while other declared that nothing less than 7 mills ough to be accepted. It was the general under standing , however , that If Ie93 than a 6-miI levy were provided mandamus proceeding would be brought. For this rc.ison the board adjourned to Friday night In order to be ready to act It the council passed the C-mll levy. "The figures depended on by the boarc bhow that even with only nine months o school It will cost $370,000 to run througl the year. This would leave $135,000 to be raised by taxation. The G-mlll levy woul < only make $80,000 , of which It Is estimated not more than 90 per cent would be collected. Consequently the board would bp $65.000 short. ' ' With these legal proceedings In prospect the relations between the board and tht council .ara considerably strained. The boarc has already Instructed Its attorney to brlnt , injunction proceedings to prevent the loca lion of the city jail In the city hall and ii connection with Its suit against Henry Dolln the board Is demanding about $15,000 In llcensa fees , which have heretofore been paid into the general fund of the city.

An ordinance now before the council Is de signed to prevent the transaction of a pawn- broking business without a license. It Is recommended by License Inspector Hurst , who says that there are now f.t least eight firms In Omaha that do a pawnbroklng busi ness and evade ( he payment of a license by pretending to go out of business. They leave their signs up just the same , but when a customer comes In , they simply buy what ho wants to pawn with the understanding that he may buy It back again'at the expira tion of a given time by paying the usual ad vance on the purchase price. In this way the same result Is obtained , but the dealer la net compelled to pay a license , nor give a bond to the city. Mr. Hurst declares that this scheme Is also a cover for receiving stolen goods. He says : "All the regularly licensed pawnbrokers who give bonds are compelled to make dally re ports to the police authorities of all goods received at their establishments. The de tectives are also privileged to examine their premises when they please , and In this man ner It Is made very difficult for them to maintain a fence. Hut the unlicensed dealers are not hampered by any such diffi culty and can receive stolen goods with but comparatively llttlo danger of detection , " The Inspector advocates the passage of an ordinance by which chattel mortgage men ahull bo put under restrictions similar to those placed on the pawnbrokers , The IliirlliiKtiui Is thirty miles shorter and nearly TWO HOURS faster than any other line to Denver.

James O'Neill , well known as a con scientious and artistic actor , will present "Vltglnlus" at Boyd'n this evening and Di mas' great romantic play , "Monte Crlsto , " tomorrow night. Mr. O'Neill's Impcrsonat'on of Vlrginlus Is said fully to have established his right to be considered among the first of living pciformers of the classical drama From what we hear of Mr. O'Neill's perform ance. It is a revelation ; his emotional pas sages arc said to be delivered with thrllL- Ing effect , his power to be sustained and Irrepressible and his acting throughout the whole tragedy to leave a deep Impression. Crrcernlng his performance of "Monte Criito , " It Is only necessary to point to his record with that play. Over 3,000 times ho has appeared In the character of Edmond Dantes from Maine to California , and back again , and each recurring season the public flocks in large numbers to the theater , when Uioy see 'the bills announcinglO'Nelll In "Mcnte Crlsto. " , In the supporting company will be found many \\ell-qualified players , among whom may be mentioned Miss' Florence Rockwell Hallett Thompson , William Pascoe , Albert Sackett , Mlfia Kate Fletcher and many others New and special scenery Is carried for both productions , the' ' costumes are hand some , new mechanical effects are Intro duced ; in short , both productions of "Monte Cristo. " and "Vlrginlus" are promised to b- complete In every detail. Fifty people will be seen on the stage In "Virglnlus. " The saleof seats for Mr. O'Neill's engage ment Is very large. Genial Dan Sully and his company open a return engagement of three nights at the Ciolghton with this evening's performance , presenting "Daddy Nolan. " Mr. Sully ex cels In portraying the rugged , hearty , honest fun-loving Irishman : spontaneity , consistency and naturalness all artistic elements are seen In his work. The Irish race has been so often caricatured upon the stage , that upon the occasion of Mr. Sully's first ap- pcqjanco at San Francisco , a committee wat appointed by the Irish societies of the city to witness the fltst performance and report as to Its merits. Tholr verdict was : "Let every Irishman go and see Dan Sully. " "Daddy Nolan" will be presented during the pit-sent engacment at the request of Mr. Sully's many admirers , who undoubtedly will do much to make his return engagement a piofltnble one. Miss Annie Woods , who enacts the role of Mrs. Sniffles In "A Foal for Luck , " with Joe Cawthorn and his big comedy company , which opens a four nights engagement at Boyd s theater on Sunday evening next , Is not a beginner by any means. In 1864 uhe was a protege of Mrs. John Woods of the old Laura Keene theaten on Broadway , New Ycrlc , and was a member of the first dra matic company to appear In the Crosby opera lioueo in Chicago before the fire. In the dnyp of the stock companies her name was on pro- srams in nwoclatlon with Forrest , Lucille Western , Barney Williams and wife , the Florences , Mr. nnd Mrs. E. L. Davenport , Charles Kean and wife , formerly Ellen Tree , Magglo Mitchell , Lotta nnd many other dls- llngul&hed players. Her face was also famil iar In comic opera and burlesque , and she was the Stalacta of the "Black Crook" under Dlducll and McDonough's management In 1S70. Miss Wood has now settled dnwrn tn character comedy parts nnd Is what Is known irofcsslonally as the old woman of the com pany.

MARIE WILSON IS ENJOINED i She and Companions Must Stop Annoy ances at Raymond Store. COURT GRANTS A SINGULAR PETITION Aliened tlmt the Women Are llnrnim- the Auctioneer mill S to Ilo llnrni toi the HllNlllONN , An Injunction was Issued by Judge Powell yesterday which Is most decidedly out of the ordinary. It was Issued on the show ing made by C. S. Raymond , the Jowclor , and was directed against three women , Mrs. Wilson , first name unknown , and her l\\o daughters , Marie and Ruby. They are re strained from cntcrlnE Mr. Raymond's store In the Knrbacli block or gMng near enough thereto to attract the attention of his cus tomer ? , and from talking to , shouting at , harassing or In any way annoying the plaintiff or his employes , or tram standing In the street or on the jldswatk adjoining plaintiff's place of business tor the purpcse of attracting the attention of the people fre quenting the auction sales held therein , or from soliciting or sending police officers to the store of plaintiff for the purpose ot searching for a criminal , .illcgijJ to bo In hiding there , or from doing nny oll'er act calculated to annoy or htrnss the plaintiff or any of hla employes and prevent him from carrying on his mislncas. This suit grows out of the sensational episode which occurred In McTague's restau rant about two weeks ago , when Paul Harris , a stranger In this city , struck Miss Marie Wilson afterward making his escape In tlmo to avoid arrest. A friend ct Harris , P. J. Burroughs , was In the restaurant at the time and ho said that the woman was after him , but had acci dentally run across Harris. Burroughs has been In the city for several weeks , officiating at the auction sale of the Raymond stock. In the peltlton for an Injunction , Mr. Raymond mend states that ho Is conducting an auction sale nt his store and has employed a num ber ot clerks and nn auctioneer to carry on the business. The defendants arc alleged to bs residents of California and with no os tensible business in this city except , as appears from their action ! ? , to harass and annoy the plaintiff nnd hinder him from c.irrylng on his business. It Is charged that the defendants are not engaged In any business In this city In competition with the plaintiff and are without means or prcperty In this state or elsewhere to plaintiff's knowl edge , hence , the plaintiff has no adequate remedy nt law In the matter. The plaintiff further charges that for the past three weeks the three women have frequented his place of business , 'not ' for the purposn of buying goods there exposed for sale , but for the purpose of annoying his employes nnd threatening them , Insulting them and circulating fnlso and scandalous stories about said employes and plaintiff's business nnd hindering , preventing and per suading customers from purchasing goods offered for sale. It Is alleged that the women have harassed the employes and prevented them from performing their duties and threaten to continue to do so , nnd that they have frequently entered the store in company with police officers , pre tending that there was a person In the store for whom they had a warrant , when they well knew that there was no such per son there. The whole proceeding Is alleged to bo the result of a conspiracy on the part of the women for the purpose of Injuring the plaintiff's business. It Is also alleged that the women have frequently come to the doors and windows of the store and have mocked , shouted at and annoyed the plaintiff and his assistants and have made themselves offensive by word and deed. Judge Powell , before whom the showing was made. Issued a temporary restraining Order and set tbo case for hearing at 10 a. in , Saturday. . A MAN CANT WORK.

Just a llttlo piln may PO distract a man's mind that it will cost him hundreds of del- lais. Life is a battle. To succeed one needs all his energies and all his brain force to apply to the question at band. Even a corn will make him Irritable , cros > s , angry and an angry man eeldom succeeds. The trifling pain of a corn la a pleasant feeling beside the agonizing ache of piles. That Is a pain which occmu to pervade the whole body. It communicates iU'clf ' to all the parts near the seat of the trouble and brings on a heavy , dragging feeling In the peri neum. Those who have never so Buffered do ngt know what It means. It racks the nerves , prevents sleep , prevents concentrated thought and makes a man lose llcsh 09 fast aa ho would with a virulent fever. And yet piles are looked upon as a llttlu thing. They are neglected allowed to run on from month to month and year to year. Uy and by comes a dangerous surgical opera tion. Maybe It cures maybe It kills. There is only ono sure , safe and quick cure for piles. It Is the Pyramid Pile Cure. It Is a recent discovery and Its properties are such that It cleanses , soothes and healu the Inflamed parts , reduces the inflammation at once and with continued treatment ic- moves all swelling and all trace of tlio dis ease. It puts the membranes In a healthy , active condition and cures completely and permanently. From C. F. Collins , Garnett : I commenced using the Pyramid Pile Cure and my case was EX > bad I thought the remedy waa going to fall in my case , but before I had ureJ two-thirds of ono package I began to fee much better , and can honestly say I am en tlrely cured. It Is the quickest and sures remedy I have ever tried or heard of. From Joslah Roberts , Port Oram , N. J.
