local Officials In tha Dark Concerning
Street Railway Mail Service.
BUSINESS INTERESTS ARE AROUSED

The question of the transportation of the
' /nails by means of the street cars Is ono
which la receiving the most serious con
sideration ot tha postal authorities In this
city and the business men , but the busi
ness men of South Omaha anil the stoclc
yards are manifesting the greatest Interest
In the matter. The Washington dispatches
yesterday morning stated that the Postofllcc
department had referred the matter to Post
master Martin and Intimated that ho had
been given some power to settle the differ
ence between the department and the Omaha
Street Hallway company. Inquiry at the
postofllce , however , developed the fact that
nothing had been received from Washington
relating to the matter and nothing now was
known as to the situation.
Chief Clcik Vandcrvoort of the railway
mall service stated that there had been no
changu In the situation slnco ho requested
the department to send a special agent to
Omaha to Investigate the matter , nny further
than that the postmaster at South Omaha
had been directed to report on the cost of
wagon service between the two cities In case
the motor service should bo discontinued.
The postmaster and Mr. Vandcrvoort con
ferred on this question Monday , with the
result that It was found that a service by
wagon , giving as many trips per day be
tween Omaha and South Omaha and between
both offices and the depots would cost about
$1,000 , per annum , without anything like as
satisfactory service. The street railway
company has been receiving less than $500
per annum for the service It has been
rendering and has notlllcd the department
that It will not perform the service after
August 1 , the date of the expiration ot the
present contract , for less than { 100 per
month. On the basis of the mileage rate
paid for transportation of the malls the
service performed by the street railway com
pany Is worth about $1,400.
According to Mr. Vandcrvoort , If the de
partment cannot afford to Increase the com-
jicncntlon now paid the street railway com
pany , and If wagon service Is adopted , It
will mean that the service will bo limited
to ono or two trips per day to South Omaha.
Thla Is the feature of the case which has
nroused the packing houses and other big
establishments at South Omaha. With the
Jy present facilities they arc on the same footIng -
Ing as regards dispatch of mall business as
the Omaha business houses , but If the serv
I ice Is limited to two or thrco trips per day
It will mean that the houses there will be
obliged to employ messengers of their own.
They are considerably wrought up over the
nltuatlon , and have gone so far as to declare
clare that they would rather dispense with
the free delivery service than to bo deprived
of the street railway mail servlc.
The citizens of Omaha would also suiter
by the abolition of the street railway serv
Ice , as It would be necessary to close the
malls at least thirty minutes sooner than
Is now the case.
Mr. Vanderyoort Is of the opinion that
the difficulty will be solved In some way ,
nnd that an agreement will bo maclo by
which the present , service will bo continued ,
but ho says ho cannot say In just what
manner this will bo done. IVa says the de-
r partment Is disposed to grant the Increase
asked by the street railway company , anil
the only reason why this la not done Is on
account of a lack of money. What the re-
cult of the efforts Jiclng made by Congress
man Mercer will be , Mr. Vandervoort is
unable to say , but hu expects to hear some
thing definite within a few days.

ENTHUSIASTIC OVER I'ROSPKCTS.
Slate Fair MiuingrcrH Tnllc of the
Jij Coming ; Show.
Secretary Furnas of the Hoard of State
Fair Managers came to the city Monday night
with a big bunch of golden rod. A few
members of the board came with him. and
the remainder arrived Inside the borders of
' the city yesterday.
r-
- The purpose of the meeting Is to make
the remaining necessary preparations for
the approaching state fair. Ono of the chief
matters to be considered will bo some en
largement of the buildings , and particular/ !
the cattle and hog sheds. Several thou
sand dollars will be expended. The work
Is expected to bo commenced next week.
Secretary Furnas Is enthusiastic over the
prospects. Ho believes the fair will eclipse
that of last year. He made a visit to the
State fair grounds yesterday morning In com
pany with Members Vance and Dunham. One
of the objects of the trip was to arrange
for the enlargement of the secretary's
quarters , which wcro cramped last year.
The other purpose was to look over the
grounds and buildings.
"Thcro will be no lack of water this year , "
said the genial ex-governor. "Tho new wells
and pumps will furnish at least four times
as much as wo had last year and that will
bo ample for all purposes. Moreover , If we
have such winds as wo had last year. It
won't bo anywhere as disagreeable as It
was. The grounds have been sodded and
mowed and there will bo a minimum of
dust. *
"Tho transportation facilities this year
will bo much bettor , too. The Omaha
Street Hallway company Is putting In ad
ditional power to run cars ovflry two
minutes and a half and ovcry two minutes
If necessary. It Is already flxlng the track.
The rallicarts have also taken n step for
ward. The companies nro putting In
switches , which will allow trains to pass
each other on the lines. "
I \fo \ Mr. Furnas prophesied that the fair would
bo a topnotcher In the way of exhibits , espe
cially from the btatc. Ho stated that the
crops would be better this year than for
years past , and the exhibits would bo corre
spondingly better. Exhibits are promised
In greater variety from outside the state.
Whllo Secretary Furnas la a warm friend
of Bryan , ho Is by no means a Bryan man.
Nevertheless , ho sees some good In Bryan's
nomination from the fuel that It promises
to bring at least ono outslilo exhibit. Secre
tary Furnas hopes more will follow , "Slnco
you have a presidential nominee from your
state , " writes an Illinois stockman who WHS
not represented last year , "you ought to
have a pretty good fair. Therefore I In
tend to hnvo DU exhibit at the fair thin
year. "

GUMI * IS A SICIC MAX.
He .May He TrniiNf erred front Jail
to ( he Hospital.
According to the statement of County
Physician Mercer , Morrell Gump , the mem
ber of the Bolln jury who confessed to
having received a bribe , will never live
out his sentence of one year that carried
with it a fine of $500. Gump has been
rapidly sinking ever since his Incarceration
and Dr. Mercer says ho has reached a
point where It seems to bo a question of
but a short time when ho must succumb to
the Inevitable. Within the past few weeks
ho has had a number of hemorrhages and
yesterday morning ho had two of those at
tacks In quick succession. For some time ho
has been quartered In the upper hallway
of the jail and has been given almost con
stant attention by the jailers and the
county physician , but has grown steadily
worse.
Sheriff McDonald called the attention of
the county commissioners to the matter yes
terday morning nnd It was decided that noth
ing could bo done toward removing the sick
man to a hospital without an order of the
court. The matter was brought to the at
tention of Judge Baker and ho at once ap
pointed a board of physicians , consisting of
Drs. Tllden and Ewlng Brown , to act In conJunction -
Junction with County Physician Mercer and
examine into Gump's condition and report
to the court as soon as possible.
Just what will bo done after the report Is
made will depend In a large measure upon
what the report shows , but the judge rather
Intimated that ho would order the man
taken to the county hospital to remain In
the nominal custody of a jailer.
The case being one of contempt of court It
rests with the Judge to remit the balance of
the sentence , and if the physicians report
that the man cannot recover , It is probable
that the balance of the sentence will be re
moved and the prisoner allowed his liberty
before death claims him.

General Manderson recently found In the
big bundle of moll that Is dally unloaded
on his desk an Interesting letter that re
called a pleasant Incident of his last east
ern trip. It will bo remembered that Gen
eral Maudcrson delivered the Memorial day
oration at the tomb of General Grant In
Riverside park , New York City. Among
the distinguished officials who sat on the
speakers' platform was the Chinese minis
ter to this country , accompanied by his
staff , all attired in diplomatic uniform.
Ho was there .by direction ot his govern
ment , his emperor having Instructed him to
bo present nnd lay a floral tribute by the
tomb of the man for whom the Chinese en
tertained so high n regard.
Throughout the address ot General Man
derson the Chinese minister had portions
of It translated to him , and expressed his
approbation ot It. At the conclusion ho
expressed a desire that a copy of It might
bo sent to him. This wish General Maudcr-
son a short time ago compiled with , while
Mrs. Manderson cent along an Indian gift
for the wlfo of Yaugyu. A very grateful
acknowledgment of the address and the
Indian tokens has just been received , and
Is highly prized by the recipients. Yangyu
Is ono of the most skillful diplomats , as
well as 0110 of the wealthiest men , In his
empire. Ho represents his government at

Albert Sudenbcrg , manager of the Iowa
Cycle company of Council Bluffs , but a
resident of this city , Is to bo arrested on
the charge of forgery. The complainant In
the case Is George E. Mlcklc , manager of
the Nebraska Cycle company.
The alleged forgery grows out of a guar
antee bond which was furnished by Sudcn-
berg to the Nebraska Cycle company on
March 30 , when ho started In business. The
amount Is $1,000. It Is alleged that Suden-
berg signed his father's name to the Instru
ment , the signature appearing upon It being
"P. Sudcnberg. "
The bond was given for the purpose of
guaranteeing payment for goods and mer
chandise that the Nebraska Cycling company
turned over to Sudenbcig , The members
ot the company assert that they are between
$ " 00 and $400 In the hole. They discovered
the forgery and at once compelled Sudcn
berg to give them a bill of sale for the stock
he had on hand In Council Bluffs , but the
value of this falls several hundred dollars
short of bU indebtedness to them ,

IAYS HE HAS NOT USURPED AUTHORITY

In the Controvert-
! with the Mu > or.
The following communication was sent to
Mayor Broach yesterday morning by Chair
man Munro of the Board ot Public Works. It
Is In reply to a reccjit letter from the mayor
In which Mr. Munro was severely criti
cised for alleged unwarranted Interference
with the street department !
Hon. W. J. Broatch , Mayor Dear Sir :
Your communication of July 23 received and
contents noted. Whllo Its tenor would not
Indicate that ft reply was desired , at the
same tlmo. Us contents were such that as
chairman of the Board of Public Works I
ileom nn answer thereto advlsabln. that your
self nnd the public may bo scv aright as to
the true state of the matter therein referred
to.
On Juno 1 this department received n
resolution of the mayor nnd city council ,
authorizing the repairing of Sherman avc-
nuo from Locus to Wlrt street , together
with others for repairs to different streets
In other portions of the city. On the day
following , June 2 , a meeting of the board
was held , all members being present , and
Iho resolutions wore given consideration.
The rccoul of the proceedings of that ses
sion In this ofllco show that Mr. Kaspar ,
the street commissioner , moved that they
bo placed on file , giving as the reason
therefor that it would bo Impossible for him
to proceed with the work at that time ,
owing to the largo number of washouts In
different portions of the city requiring his
Immediate attention ; that ho would proceed
with the work called for In the resolution
at the earliest possible moment. I Informed
him that the gentleman ( Mr. Christie ) at
whoso solicitation the resolution was passed
by the council , was very anxious to have
the work performed without delay. Ho
then requested that I take charge of the
work and supervise the repairing. I ac
ceded to the request and had the work
done. The street commissioner and myself
examined the street and concluded , after
personal Investigation , that the wooden
blocks were so badly dccajcd that It would
bo Impossible to repair the street with
brick. Wo decided to have the work done
with concrete , which had been taken from
Sherman nvcnuo and stored In the vicinity.
The street has been put In fair condltlo'n
for the total sum of $18. Therefore , after
an examination of the records ot this office ,
ot which the foregoing Is a true statement ,
I can arrive at no other conclusion than
that your Informant la troubled with n
lapse of memory , or has willfully misrep
resented the facts In this case , when stating
that ho had no knowledge of the resolution
referred to.
ASKED FOR NO INFORMATION.
In reference to the Interview with your
clerk ( Wertz ) In this office on or about July
20 , I would state that the gentleman did
call about that tlmo. stating that complaints
had been received nt the mayor's office that
the repairs had not been made. I stated
to him nt that time that I could not account
for such complaints , ns the woik had been
done several weeks prior. Ho certainly gave
no Intimation at that Interview that he 'de
sired Information as to the manner or mode
of procedure by which those repairs were
made. It would seem that this or any other
department of the municipal government
would not asaumo too much authority by
roaulrlng that all Information from one to
the other should bo In writing. Under this
rule no errors would occur , and It Is In ac
cordance with the provisions of section 13G ,
page 39 ot the charter. This department
most assuredly objects to being subjected
to unwarranted criticism without an oppor
tunity even of being heard as to the correct
ness of the matter referred to , as In this In
stance.
In reference to the chairman assuming the
prerogatives ot the street commissioner , I
deny absolutely that anything of that kind
has ever been attempted on my part. Sec
tion 104 of the charter expressly provides
that the chairman of the board shall have
general suprovlslon of nil public works , and
also provides In these words : "That the
street commissioner nnd sewer commis
sioner shall appoint all Inspectors and em
ployes In their respective departments , sub
ject to the approval of the Board of Public
Works. " If the chairman Is deserving of
criticism It is because of his failure to en
force the latter portion of the provision. I
never have during my occupancy of the chair
required the enforcement of that pro
vision , which requires the approval
of the board , with all em
ployes of both departments. I also contend
that the board at any time , under the pro
visions of section 101 , may discharge any or
all employes In cither department. Also If
upon the neglect , delay or refusal ; or for
other reasons , either the sewer or street
commissioners shall not perform work when
ordered that the chairman would bo au
thorized to employ men and to do such worlt
without further delay.
In recommending that economy should be
the watchword I cannot sec in what man
ner it has reference to this special Instance ,
as the facts will show that the board ha"
not been extravagant , as the resolution in
question called for an expenditure ot ? 75
and the board through the 'chairman has ex
pended the sum of $18 , and It will probably
require about $7 moro to complete the re
pairs , thus securing the same results as If
the entire amount had been expended that
was appropriated.
Regarding the Inference that the chair
man In this Instance , or In any other during
his Incumbency , has kept from cither of the
members of the board any business that
should properly como before It Is absolutely
false In every particular. I have been en
gaged In business In Omaha for thirteen
years , and been In political Ufa most of
that time , and never yet have been charged
with double dealing or hypocritical conduct
In either. Very many of the citizens of
Omaha will bear out the statement that I
have always attempted to protect the tax
payer In my public duties and llave never
swerved from that path , although It might
have been to my private Interests to have
done so and thereby advanced my political
preferment at various times.

i > \K to n Settlement.
The bondsmen of Henry Bolln have so far
failed to make any proposition to the city
regarding n settlement of the treasury short
age. T , J , Mahoncy , their at
torney , said yesterday morning that
they had expected to make n
proposition last week , but sorao new com
plications had arisen which had not been
disposed of , It would probably be some days
before they would bo In u position to say
what they wera willing to do. Ot what those
complications consisted be was unwilling
to say. Expert Lerabeck Is still In the city
and puts In his tlmo between the city hall
and Mr , Mahoney's office. He Is a very
reticent man by nature , and this quality
has been emphasized under Instructions from
his employers , the bondsmen. As the
bondsmen themselves consistently refuse to
say anything , the character of the con
templated proposition Is a matter of specula ,
tlon , . It Is freely predicted , however , that
( ho amount they may bo likely to offer will
not approach the shortage.
City Attorney Connell says he Is still
waiting and Is willing to wait a few days
longer. Bo long as the suit Is filed so that
the casu can bo brought up at the September
term ot court bo IB not in a hurry. When
aslifd a direct question whether ho bad any
expectation that the proposition of the
bondsmen would be one that would bo
worth considering ho contented himself by
saying that he kuew notblPK ot the plans
of the bondsmen.

Lewis W. Rnbcr appeared ns spokesman
for n .delegation of printers , representing
the Typosraphlcal union of this city , before
jcstordny afternoon's meeting of the
Commercial club's executive commit
tee. Ho stated that It was de
sired to send a committee of five
to the national meeting of printers soon to
bo held at Colorado Springs to present the
claims of Omaha as the best city for the
189S meeting. Ho asked that the Commer
cial club glvo whatever assistance It could
In the matter. The committee decided that
It would extend an Invitation to the printers
on bchnlf of the club nud refer further
nctlon In the matter to Commissioner Utt.
An limitation to the United States Indian
Educational association to hold Its 1898
meeting In Omaha was read by the com
missioner and approved by the committee.
The following new members were , upon
the recommendation of E. C. Price , elected
to membership : E. H. Mayhcw , P. J. howls
C , C. Howe , J. J. Hess , W. II. Mallory , G.
B. Lasbury , C. P. Norlvall and At. L. 55ook.
E. M. Bartlett made a report of the en
tertainment qf the commercial lawyers. He
offered a lengthy resolution of thanks to
all the merchants , lawyers , officers of the
law league and others who had contributed
to the success of the convention. It was
adopted. Ho stated that he thought n
sopnrnto resolution of thanks to George W.
Llnlnger for the brilliant reception he had
tendered the visitors should bo adopted. A
committee was appointed to draft a suitable
Instrument conveying the thanks of the
Commercial club to Mr. Llnlnger for his
hospitality.
Commissioner Utt read n communication
addressed to the State Board of Transporta
tion , urging that body to appear before the
Interstate Commerce commission In the In
terest of Omaha. The matter of Iowa rates
has long given trouble to Omaha houses ,
there beluga marked discrimination in favor
of Council Bluffs as against Omaha. The
communication asking the state board to
take up the matter was endorsed by the
executive committee for the Commerc'al club
and will be presented to the Omaha ship
pers for their signatures before being for
warded to Lincoln.
Another communication relative to freight
matters was also considered and endorsed.
It was addressed to Freight Traffic Manager
Munroe of the Union Pacific nnd pertained
to Kansas City , St. Joseph and Leaven-
worth rates.
I'rliitci-N' Aniuiiil Election Tnilny.
The- Omaha Typographical union will have
a warm time electing delegates to the
annual convention of the International
Typographical union at Colorado Springs.
This Is due to the fact that the delegation
this year Is especially honored because Upon
Its shoulders will rest the burden of bring
ing the meeting of 189S to this city.
There -are four candidates In the field ,
These are A. F. .Wilson , T. F. Sturgls T.
jr. Doyle and AVilwmtO. Turner. Only two
can go because that Is the number of dele
gates towhich the local union Is entitled.
The election 7ill he held today
from 11 until 7 o'clock. The an
nual election of officers takes place at the
same time , but there Is only one contest In
this , that being between A. F. Clark and
William Mnxwell for the position of secre
tary-treasurer.
Upon the Omaha delegates and the two
from Council Bluffs will nominally rest the
responsibility of getting the convention. In
reality ( he responsibility is distributed
among five other parties. They belong tea
a committee consisting of W. C. Boyer , W.
A. . Runkles , L. W. Raber. Al Small and K.
A. Kennedy. This committee will expound
the advantages of Omaha nnd the beauties
of its big exposition.
The convention Is a desirable one. It Is
attended by some 403 accredited delegates.
It Is supplemented , however , by a meeting
of the ox-delegates1 association , which now
has a membership of 1,140 , and will bo still
larger In 1898. A majority of the members
attend the meetings with their wives nnd
do llttlo else thnn spend money and take In
the sights.
This vear's convention Is number forty-
four and Is to bo held In Colorado Springs.
The convention convenes on the first Mon
day In October and remains In session for
six days.

HH'ctrlu I.lno to the 1'oxt.
The county clerk la prcparliiR the ad
vertisement for bids for doing the grading
on the Thirteenth street boulevard , In ac
cordance with the resolution passed by the
county commissioners. The advertisement
will be Inserted In the papers nt once ,
The law requires that advertisements of
this nature shall bo published for thirty
days , so that nearly two months must neces
sarily elapse before the work can bo com
menced and It will bo well on toward fall
before the street can be completed. The
resolution passed by the Board of County
Commissioners provides that the rend shall
bo graded to the full width nnd to a G per
cent grade , This It Is said will make a
very desirable driveway and a grade which
will bo entirely practicable tor street cars.
The south sldo citizens who were so In
defatigable In Retting the work ot grading
under way havt now turned their attention
to street car transportation to Fort Crook.
A number of the residents of the south sldo
have been discussing the matter and have
determined to convince the Omaha Street
Hallway company that the extension of the
Thirteenth street line to the now post Is not
only a necessity , but n paying Investment.
In this matter the south aiders will
again bo working In opposition to the
wishes and efforts of the citizens of South
Omaha. In fighting for the grading of the
Thirteenth street boulevard the Southslde
Improvement club had to contend with the
opposition of the South Omaha people , who
wanted the only road to the new post to
bo through the business portion of their
town and along Twenty-fourth street. With
the street railway question the same situa
tion exists.
The South Omaha people have already
commenced working for a line ot street
railway to Fort Crook by way of Twenty-
fourth street and they feel sanguine of suc
cess. The southslders Intend making a
descent upon the Omaha Street Railway
company , while the people of South Omaha
pin their faith to the Metropolitan Street
Hallway company , a South Omaha Institu
tion. In order to extend the South Omaha
line to Fort Crook It will be necessary to
establish a new road , as the ono now
used Is not practicable for street cars ,
the grade being entirely too heavy. A com
mittee of South Omaha citizens started out
on a tour of Investigation a few days ago
to see what would bo the cost of land for
a right-of-way for a new line. They re
ceived a cold dash of water by the demand on
the part of owners of land along the pro
posed route , who asked ? 500 per aero for all
land necessary to bo taken. On the other
hand the southslders In Omaha say It will
not be necessary to open any new roads , as
the Thirteenth street load will be entirely
practicable.
The officials of the Omaha Street Railway
company say the matter of a line to Fort
Crook has received no consideration at any
meetings of the board of directors , although
It has been the subject of cssual conversa
tion between members of the directory. The
question has been regarded as ono which
could not come up for determination before
next year , as the Thirteenth street road will
not bo completed In tlmo to do any work
this fall nnd considerable tlmo would be
required to secure a road for the extension ol
the South Omaha line. The Omaha Street
Hallway company and the South Omaha
company work in harmony , and anything
that nlay bo' done looking toward nn ex
tension of the line , via South Twenty-fourth
street , will only be done after a careful de
termination of the relative benefits to bo de
rived by these companies.

Shirt Safety.
Wo'ro after men whn liny white ihlrfo lomowhoroclao. Wo want toftoll tltom ono shirt.
soil the bust whlto shirts In the world ani wo know It , \Vo wftiit tlioni to know It too.
JL HE average man knows almost as little about
white shirts as the average woman docs about "six
teen to one , " It isn't his fault. Most shirt dealers-
place their orders here , there , everywhere , the lowest
pticc getting the largest order and they can't inquire-
very closely as to what shirts arc made of or how long-
they're going to wear. _ It's different here. A "Ne
braska" shirt is as staple as the Fourth of July and
you take no chances when you buy a "Nebraska1"
shirt. For years we have been selling the best white
shirts in the market and selling 'em a good deal less
than other stores get for the so-called best. Our
prices arc staple too 350 500 , 7oc for the unlaun-
clered , soc , 750 and $1,10 for the laundered styles k
The best that your money can buy is in a "Nebras
ka" white shrt. ; Best muslin. Best linen. Best
workmanship. Best guarantee got to wcor or your
money back. There's safety in buying shirts here.
We want the shirt trade of people who know a good
shirt when thev sec it. Also of those who don't.
