Government Appropriation , Iiinurro

fr Locution of ( he IlllnoU
Structure In Jl
* * The enactment of the sundry civil bill ,
karrylns with It the actual appropriation of
$200,000 for a government building and ex-
Jilblt , and the appropriation by the legislature
of Illinois of $15,000 for an Illinois exhibit
and building , put the exposition authorities
In high feather this morning.
Whllo the pausing ot the bill making the
appropriation tor a government exhibit has
never been In doubt , yet the fact that the
appropriation was not available has added an
element of uncertainty to arrangements re-
eardlng the government building. Now that
this uncertainty has been removed , active.
( work miy bo commenced by the government
architects toward getting ready with their
plans , etc.
In reply to n qurotlon as to whether the
delay on the part of the federal authorities
. would be likely to Interfere with having the
government building ready on time , Mr.
3Omb.il ! , ono of the archltccts-ln-chlcf , said
this would not make any material difference.
"Tho government building at Nashville , "
aid Mr. Klmball , "was finished In six weeks
from the time the foundation was laid.
1'cople have no Idea of the rapidity with
fwhlch these staff covered buildings can be
erected. The Nashvlllo building did not cost
BS much money as our government building
"will cost and la not so elaborate as the
building we hope to have on our grounds ,
but there will bo little difference In the
mount of constructive work on the two
buildings , and the work may be hurried al
most without limit. "
"Wo will put the IlllnoU state building
on the bluff tract. " said Architect Klmball
this morning while speaking of the ap
propriation made by the Illinois authorities
for representation at the Transmlsslsstppl
Exposition. The "bluff tract" Is that portion
tion of the exposition grounds lying cast of
Sherman avcnuo and Is about sixty acres In
extent. From every portion of this tract a
.View may bo bad of the Missouri valley for
miles up and down the river , while the
tract Itself Is almost as level as a floor.
" 1 believe this tract Is the most sightly
location that could bo selected for state
buildings , " continued Mr. Klmball. "A part
of this ground Is to bo beautifully parked
and I bcltevo the surroundings of the state
buildings will be such that this section of
tbo grounds will bo ono ot the most popular
places of the entire exposition. This tract
twill also bo a fine location for the buildings
( which are to be erected by the various
secret societies" .

MYERS IS 1'IjACUri ON TRIAL.
to a SiMiMnUoiinl nplMoilc of
the I.nNt Winter.
The trial of David It. Myers for the at
tempted murder ot his wife , Nora Myers ,
was commenced In the criminal court before
Judge Ilaker yesterday. On March 1C
of this year Myers shot his wife In the
head , Inflicting what proved to bo only a
scalp wound , and then shot himself In the
head. Neither shots proved fatal. The af
fair occurred In front ot the house where
the couple were rooming , at Seventeenth
and California streets , about S o'clock In
the evening.
Myers and his wife bad had considerable
trouble before the shooting occurred. Ac
cording to the stories told by both at the
time , they were married In Memphis and
lived together about six weeks , when the
woman left home and came to Omaha , where
she was employed In a dressmaking establish.
mont In the Karbach block. Myers followed
bis wlto to Omaha and made frequent visits
to where she was working. She finally
yielded to his Importunities and resumed her
former relations with him. According to the
story told by Myers , ho discovered that his
wife was cot true to him. He said he tried
to draw her away from her associations , but
was unsuccessful. He was especially re
vengeful toward ono certain man , who had
Induced his wife to leave him at Memphis
and had followed her about In this city.
At the trial yesterday the first wit
ness was Mrs. Nora Myers , the wife of the
defendant. She related the story of the
shooting , her memory falling her completely
when asked regarding her own doings , either
before or after. According to her story , she
left Myers because of bis cruelty and the
trouble culminated when he objected to her
visiting some of her female friends.
Mrs. Clara White testified that she was
passing the house where the shooting oc
curred and when she beard the first shot
she turned quickly and saw the man fire
at the woman a second time. She then
started to run and heard two moro shots
fired.
fired.Witness
Witness Shackleford testified that Myers
< and his wlfo passed through a ropm where
the witness was sitting" Just " before the
shooting occurred and Myers remarked to
the witness : "I saw her with Rlley again
tonight. " Shackleford jiald Jio .heard the
shots soon after the couple had gone out
of the front door. Witness saw Myers run
ning back .Into the house. Ho caught him
and took the levolver with which the shoot
ing had been done away from him.
Witness Karbach testified that he met
Myers the day ho made trouble In the
rooms where Mrs. Myers was employed , In
the Karbach block , and had a long talk with
him. Myers threatened his wife and said
to Karbach that she should never come Into
that building again It be had to swing for
It. Karbach said he thereupon complained
against Myers in the police court and had
him arrested and bound over to keep the
peace.
The state rested early In the afternoon and
the defense called the defendant to the
stand.
Myers did not testify regarding the actual
occurrences Immediately surrounding the
shooting , replying to all questions on that
point by saying that ho could not remember
just what happened. Ho gave his wife a very
bad name but when crossexamlned could not
state any facts In this connection which bad
como under his awn observation. All ho
could say on this point was that he bad
formed bU opinion on circumstantial evi
dence. His recollection seemed perfectly
clear upon everything except the actual cir
cumstances of the shooting , but upon this
point ho would go no further than to say
that when ho stepped out of the door after
his wife "there was a flash" and that was
all ho could say.
Other witnesses were called and questioned
In a way calculated to bring ! out statements
affecting the character of Mrs. .Myers since
the shooting , but these were ruled out by
the court. It was also attempted to show
that Myers was temporarily Insane at the
time of the shooting. Several witnesses we're
examined with a view ot bringing out this
kind of testimony.
The case -will bo concluded this morning.

ANOTHRR GARIIAGR ORDINANCK.
IlrenkH Into tlie .Monopoly of the Gnr-
IIIIKU Contractor.
Councilman Stuht'a garbage ordinance ,
which Is now In the bands of the committee
on street Improvements and viaducts , prom
ises to bring up a repetition ot the fight
which occurred on the same ordinance when
It was Introduced by O'Malley just bcforo tbo
old council went out ot business. The ordi
nance differs from the present ordinance
only In the respect that It 'designates what
ehall be termed as garbage and the designa
tion does not Include manure , ashes and
clDders. The- effect of the ordinance would
be to largely do away with the monopoly
now enjoyed by the garbage contractor , BS
under Its provisions any one could haul
manure , ashes and cinders without paying
toll to the contractor. There Is a difference
of opinion as to whether the ordinance would
be upheld by the courts , Inasmuch as It
practically abrogates a considerable part of
the garbage contract. Stunt wants to try
It , anyway , but tbo Indications are that ho
will be unable to muster enough votes to
pass It.

CHANGE PAVING" " SPECIFICATIONS.
Hoard of Public Work * TriuiNiictx
SOIIIC IltlHlllt'HN.
The Board , of Public Works epent an hour
yesterday afternoon In examining the new
paving specifications which were submitted
by City Engineer Rosenatcr. The specifica
tions will not be ready In a completed form
until Monday , but the general matter to be
Included was outlined and discussed. There
are no radical changes from the old specifi
cations , but the classification of pavements
Is somewhat broader In order to meet the
different conditions on the various streets.
The bidders on paving contracts arc required
to supply more complete Information rela
tive to the material they pro'poso to use than
has previously been required.
The contract of J. O. Corby for the Capitol
tel avenue sewer was approved.
There was an Informal discussion of the
complaint of the wheelmen on account of thff
numerous holes In the asphalt streets , and
as soon as the matter can be reached the
contractors will bo required to make the
necessary repairs. Comptroller Westberg
also suggested the necessity of grading approaches
preaches to some ot the crosswalks In the
north part of the city which had been left
from six Inches to a foot above the grade
of the street. In many cases they were so
high as to make the street almost impassable
for 'vehicles. 'ariils matter will also bo taken
up by the board and ilie superintendent of
the street department will bo directed to
haul enough dirt to make approaches on each
side of the most elevated crosswalks.
It Is now expected that the South Six
teenth street repaying will be begun early
next week. The Omaha Street Railway com
pany has already purchased Its material and
will bo ready to go ahead as soon as the con
tractor. The new tracks on that street will
bo much heavier and more solid than any
now laid In the city. The .present tracks
were originally designed for lighter trains
than are now used. Sixty-foot rails will
also be used , Instead of the thirty-foot rails
now on the street , and the bearings will be
doubled. The result will be a track that will
bear the heaviest traffic without any notice
able Jolting and will fully meet the require
ments of the municipal authorities.
ASICS THAT CI-AHIC III3 SUPPHESSED.
Mrx. lull ANHcrtH thiit Ho In Perncciit-
IIIK : Her.
S. B. Clark , generally called "Blondy , "
Is In trouble again. Airs. M. M. Ish Is the
complainant and she secured an order from
Judge Scott yesterday afternoon restraining
Justice Wilde of Clontarf precinct and Jus
tice Brandcs of this city from bringing
or hearing suits against her which are
brought by Clark , or by any person acting
for htm , and restraining Clark from com
mencing any more suits against her.
According to the petition filed In the case
by Mrs. Ish , It appears that the trouble
started when Mrs. Ish commenced proceed
ings In tbo county court to oust Clark
from a room occupied by him In a building
on South Fourteenth street which Is owned
by Mrs. Ish. Judgment was entered In favor
of "Mrs. Ish and Clark was ejected. Shortly
afterward 'Clark made a claim for $5 which
he allege ] was due htm from Mrs. Ish for
tbo use of another room In the same buildIng -
Ing which she was occupying and for which
Clark claimed to hold a lease. Mrs. Ish re
fused to pay this bill , claiming that , Clark
bad never had a leaie for the rooin and
had no claim upon It. Mrs. Ish alleges that
'Clark ' then commenced suit against her for
the rent for April before Justice Wilde of
Clontarf precinct cwid obtained Judgment.
The case was appealed and Is now pending
In the district court.
It is alleged that a similar suit for the
May rent of the room was later brought
before Wlldo"and has not yet been tried.
Later suit for the Juno rent was com
menced before Justice Brandes and Is still
pending.
Mrs. leh alleges that these suits are sim
ply brought to annoy her and that Clark
has boasted that ho would make her wear
out moro shoo leather than the bills
amounted to. She charges that these Jus
tices have no Jurisdiction In the matter
but that the case comes under the Jurisdic
tion of the municipal court ,
The caee Is set for hearing before Judge
Scott on June 14 at 2 o'clock.
