W. N. nabcoclc , general manager of the
Union stock yards at South Omaha , sent his
resignation to President I'axton and the di
rectors of thu company yesterday morning. In
speaking about the matter Mr. Dabcock said
ho had offered bis resignation to the direc
tors , bu ( . as yet It had not been acted upon.
Ho did not know whether It would bo ac
cepted or not. The reason he said for this
move on his part was that difference's qxlsted
as to the policy to be pursued in thu manage ,
mcnt of the yards. Some of the directors
ahd officers did not exactly like "tho policy
he was pursuing , and were Inclined to request
him to make radical cbangrs in the'manage
ment. Ho had in u measure refused to
change the policy * ho had outlined , and as
they could "not como to any agreement he
had concluded to settle the matter by send
ing In his resignation ,
_ Mr. Dabcock has been general manager d ?
Ilio Union 'Stock Yards for eight years. He
declined to cay on what points be and the
directory differed.
Before accepting the position of general
manager of the stock yards , Mr. Unbcock
was general western agent of the Chicago
& Northwestern railway , with headquarters
In this city.
Railway men generally were greatly stir-
prlt-ed at the announcement that William N.
llabcock had resigned from the position he
has held with so much credit. A few of the
traffic officials , however , those \\\\a \ have on-
loyed the most Intlmato relations with tlio
South Omaha market , have been prepared
for a change any time within the past few
months. A prominent traMlc man said to a
Heo reporter yesterday : "I've frequently
heard that there were dliscnslonn
within the Company , There have been con
flicting Interests there , and thece havu been
pulling In dlfferi-nt directions for some time.
iAll has not been harmony between Armour ,
vrhc no.v holds the high curd In the Stock
yards' company , and local Intercjts. I am
oorry that Mr. Ilubcock has icslgncd , for the
company has lost one of the very best men
that ever was. It will bo hard work to
anywhere near nil hU place. "
It is generally agiecd among the prominent
men of the various South Omaha concerns
and amoiK ) the traino olllcalg In this city
that the most likely succitsor to William N.
llabcock Is A. C , Foster , who has Just re
signed the position of general manager of the
Swift company , it Is known that Mr. Fos
ter Is an applicant for the position made
vacant by Mr. IJabcock's resignation. He
himself U out In the country and It is
Impossible to secure , a personal statement
from him.
U Is even Intimated that the two big
changes In South Omaha companies fell so
near together by no accident , but that Mr.
Foster had hla eye on a place that would
eoon bo vacated when he resigned his other
$10.000 position. The most prominent offl-
clals of tbo railroad * doing business with
thu South Omaha concerns credit the report
that Mr. Fuitcr will bo tlie new manager
of the Union Stock Yards company. They
eay the only possible barrier that would
keep him out of the place Is ( hit b is net
an expprlenced transportation man. in all
, other respects It U believed that Mr. Foster
la qualified to assume the arduous duties
of thu place today tuado vacant.
When asked last night as to the proba
bility of Mr , A. C. Foster's acceptance of
) ho position left vacant by Mr. Dabeock's
resignation , President 1'axton stated that the
board of , directors had made no selection
as yet and ( hat be did not know what would
bo done In tbo matter , He eald that no
offer of tbe position bad been tendered to
Mr , Fetter and that neither bad bo made
any application for the same. Ourlug the
time that tbo position of general manager
was loft vacant Mr. I'axtoti stated that he
should perform the duties of the office ,
Wb'en Mr. Foster wa asked It bo eu
atiDllcant for tbe position , bo expressed con-
Iderable surprUe and uld that be had made
no effort to secure the place. He said thf
Ills o\vn business affairs occupied tbe grcat (
portion of his tlmo at present , and that I
lid not know what ho should pursue In ill
ruturo. He , however , did not state that t
ivould not accept the position If It should I
jftercd him , but otherwise declined to 1
interviewed on the subject.

Illll for Salary.
Police * Judge Gordon does not Intend ,
waive any of his salary rights while tl
constitutionality of the new charter Is le
undecldcO. The new bill of rights of tl
city reduced the salary of the police Jud )
from $2,500 to $1,200 a year. This cuts tl
monthly stipend of the judge .from $203.
to $100.
Yesterday Police Court CJcuk Schwer
made up the pay roll ot tbe police court a
laches and upon 'It Is the claim of the poll
judge for a monthly salary of $2Q8.33. I
will bo paid on this basis up to the da
when the new charter went Into effect , at
on the new basts from that time. Dy agrc
ment- with the city attorney , however , tl
city records will show that this Is but "pa
payment" of the salary.
Police Judge Gordon said that bo did n
Intend to make a light alone on the cut
his salary , but would stay with the ct
officials who are Intending to attack tl
constitutionality ot the entiru chatter.

The Department ot Exhibits of the exposi
tion has received a most flattering appli
cation for rpace In the Mines and Mining and
the Forestry buildings from an unexpected
source. The state ot Alabama Is evidently
n the field , and the Indications are that the
western mining states are to bo crowded
very vigorously by the mining and forestry
nJustrlcj of the south. A letter was re
ceived by the department yesterday from
special committee appointed by the Ala
bama Industrial and Scientific society ask-
ng for the maximum amount ot s-paco In
ho Mines and Mining and Forestry buildings
'or an exhibit of the mineral and forestry
resources of Alabama. The letter quolca
a resolution which was adopted at a recent
ncetlng ot the society providing for the
ippolntmcnt of a special committee to con-
ult with Governor Johnston , State Geolo
gist Eugene A. Smith and Agricultural Com
missioner Culver In reference to placing a
display of the resources ot Ihe state at the
Transmlsslsslppl Exposition. Tbe .resolution
referred to cites tbo fact that the state ot
Alabama did not toke the fullest advantage
of the opportunities offered by tbo cxposl-
Ions held at Atlanta and. . Nashvlllo to dls-
> lay tbo many Industries of the state , and
rsolvlng to make amends by making a largo
sxhlblt at tboi Transmlsslsslppl Gxposoltlon ,
The special committee appointed In ac-
ordance with this resolution writes that the
tatu will make a liberal exhibit and asks
tow much space can be allowed them und-jr
he rules ot tbo department , and' for other
lata In connection with exhibits. It Is
itated that the exhibit to bo made by the
tate will consist of coal , coke , red and
iruwn Iron ores , bauxite , granite , sand-
tone , dolomite , limestone , Iron pyrites , cop-
> cr and gold ores , kaolin , roofing slate and
a full geological nnd forestry exhibit.
Another evidence of the Interest which the
outhcrn states are taking In the Trans-
mtsslsslpDl Exposition was received
estcrday by tbo Department of Exhibits
he shape of a letter from a prominent mer-
hant of New Orleans" , who writes that the
exposition Is the subject of a great deal ot
avorablo comment in that section and he
asks a number ot pertinent questions re
garding the making ot exhibits , etc.
SEWERS FOR U.M-OSITION GROUNDS.
Hills ait Material Will He luvltcil nt
Oiiev.
The next step to be taken on the cxposl-
ton grounds will bo the construction of a
system of sanitary sewerage. A sewer will
la laid In Pinkney street on the south , and a
similar sewer on the north side of the
{ ountze tract. These sewere will be of a
cmporary nature unices the owners of prop
erty abutting upon the exposition grounds
will agree to bear a part of the expense. In
which case the sewers will be of such a size
and elevation as will allow of their being
used by the abutting property. They will
10 sanitary sewers only , and will not be
calculated to act as storm water sewers.
Both of these sewers will be connected wltli
the 3G-lnch main sewer now In Twenty-
'ouith street. The connecting sewer will
be twenty-four Inches In diameter , and this
portion will bo constructed at once for th (
purpose of draining the lagoon now beln [
dredged. The lagoon has got to the poln1
wher It becomes an Immense pond when
ever It rains , ' and several days delay li
caused by reason ot the fact that the watci
cannot escape. The 21-Inch sewer will bi
constructed as soon as possible for the pur
pose ot obviating this difficulty. This pop
tlon of the sewer will be built by the. De
partmcnt of Buildings and Grounds In ordei
to avoid the delay required by advcrtislni
for bids. The sewer will extend from Twenty
fourth street to the west end of the lagoon
being but a few hundred feet. Bids for ma
tcrlal will be called for at once , and the worl
ot construction , will be pushed as fast a
possible.
This 24-Inch sewer will also be used t <
empty lagoons whenever this becomes necessary -
sary In order tom draw off stagnant watci
and keep the lagoons purified.1
The construction of the remainder of tin
sanitary sewer system will be done by con
tract. Bids for this work will be called foi
early In June. Unions the abutting propert :
owners Join In the expense of constructor
this portion of the sewerage , the pipe wll
be placed In a shallow trench and will bi
removed after the exposition Is over.
It Is expected that the lagoon will taki
care of the storm water which falls on thi
exposition grounds and the drainage ; will bi
arranged accordingly. <
The system of water supply for the expo
sition grounds and buildings will not bi
flnaly determined until the artesian wel
1.3 completed. It Is confidently expected tha
this well and , possibly , otheru will suppl ;
the lagoon with all the water that will bi
needed , but It. Is the present Intention ti
supply the buildings , etc. , with water takei
from the supply pipes ot the Omaha Wate
company. If the artesian well should provi
to be. a. failure It will be necessary to havi
large supply pipes from 'the mains of thi
water company' and this' matter will , there
fore , be allowed to rest until the result o
the well driver's work is known ,

C. S. Montgomery. Ho Is hero on. a profes

property and to consult with the exposltlo
directory regarding ( lie exhibit of souther
California. Ho is enthusiastic over the pro ;
pects of the exposition and Is willing to d
all In his power to promote Its success.
Judge Groff was a district judge here , all
ting on the bench with Judges Wakelej
Doano.and Hopewell. For eight years , 1871
1887 , he was the law" partner of Mr. Monl
gomery. In the spring of 1887 Governc

pointed and then was selected by the pcopl
to the same position. Ho was appointed b

the government's general land office. H
discharged the duties of thin office with grec
credit , but resigned shortly before tlic cloa
of the Harrison administration. Instead c
returning to Omaha from Washington h

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TQ A CHILD.
Her Eye IN Penetrated liy an Old Ilut-

A peculiar and probably fatal accident be
fell. Lizzie Trelner , a 2-ycar-old 'daughter of
James Treiner , an employe of 'the ' smelting
works , yesterday afternoon. The family live
on the bottoms , at the foot of Hickory street.
Shortly after dinner the little tot was playIng -
Ing around In front of the house and found
an old rusty buttonhook. Sho-started with
It toward her mother , who was standing in
the doorway. In running across the yard
the little glr ! fell , andtho"hook -was thrust
Into the right eye until It pierced the outer
membrane ot the brain.
The distracted mother tried to wrench the
piece of metal from the wound , but only
succeeded in increasing the suffering of the
child. Dr. Swoboda was called. The eye
.was bandaged , and with the steel still pro
truding- from the eye the little sufferer was
taken to Clarkson hospital , where an opera
tion was performed by Dr. Summers. It
was found that the hook had passed through
the upper portlonVof the optical cavity but
that It hod not penetrated the eyeball. There
are slight hopes of the child's recovery.

It you can't get your size for 39c it's not

The case In which the Municipal League
ot South Omaha Is proceeding against Jack
Morrison and Robert Cummlngs on the
charge of keeping a gambling house- over
the saloon at Twenty-fifth and N streets ,
South Omaha , was on trial before Judge Bax
ter yesterday morning. About a dozen wit
nesses were examined , but so far as making
a case against the defendants was concerned ,
the trial was decidedly farcical. Assistant
County Attorney Jefferis , who represented
i the state vas. plainly disgusted , and the
spectators wcro highly amused.
The first witness was J. A. Harvey , the
/proprietor of the saloon over which the
alleged gambling rooms were located. He
testified that there had been two or three
tables in the rooms which were used to play
hlgh-fivo and whist for the drinks. There
had been no gambling there to his knowl
edge , nor was he aware that Morrison or
Cummlngs had anything to do with the
rooms. *
" L. A. Scott and Leroy Davis said they had
been In the rooms several times , but had
seen no gambling devises except two or three
card tables and chairs. They had seen whist
played for drinks , but had seen no gambling.
A half dozen other witnesses , Including
tbo two constables who made the arrest Sat
urday night , gave similar testimony. Three
witnesses testified afterward that they had
seen faro and roulette played In the rooms
since May 1C , but none ot them connected
either of the- two defendants with the prem
ises. Two of these witnesses were John and
Fred Peyton , father and brother respectively
of the Peyton boys , who were recently con
victed o ( shooting Blanche Kennedy. The
third witness was F. P. Freemen , who swore
out the warrant on which Morrison and
Cummlngs were arrested.
The trial was then continued till 2 o'clock ,
at which tlmo the assistant county attorney
announced that there seemed to b no further
evidence , and ho dismissed the case.

calling him an A. P , A. during the late city
campaign , did not continue at 9:30 : o'clock
jesterday morning In police court as had
been Intended. When the case waa called , It
developed that Assistant County Attorney
Winter , who Is one of the counsel in behalf
ot the state , was not on hand. As a consequence
quence the defense demanded a continuance
for n week and got It. The hearing Is to
bo taken up again on Thursday , June 3 , at
9:30 : o'clock.
Attorney Shoemaker , who Is assisting In
the prosecution. Is hardly satisfied with the
manner in which the case Is progressing.
Ho Is not pleased particularly with Judge
Qordon'H ruling In not allotting witnesses to
be called to testify that they did not vote for
How ell because they heard that the mayor
alty candidate was an A. P. A. The state
relied on such testimony to enow that the
charge against Howell had tended to bring
about hla defeat. It Is therefore considered
that the absence of the county attorney thla
morning was a move to gain more time In
which to complete additional plans of prostcu.
