The extension of the street car lines to
interview park was again , the topic of dis
cussion at the meeting held by the South
Side Improvement club last night. C J
Cornish started the ball rolling liy the
statement that ho did not consider the late
piop sltion made by the Omaha Street Hall
way company as given In good faun , He
thojght that the cnange of grade on South
Tenth street demanded by th company was
merely a subterfuge to delay matters , and
Hut In the end tbo company wculd not
build to tl.e park , or at most that the line
would not extend further than Ilancrcft
st ect Taking this view of the matter he
was in favor of the club working for a fran
chise for a new company which would con
struct a line from South Omaha to the
tj n ion depot If such line was constriuttd
lu thought It would not only epen up a new
residence district for South Onial.a working
nen , but would afford an excellent means
of transportation for the people of both clt-
lei- who wlsl. to visit the park
Mr Cornish also talked for a few minutes
up n the collection of animals now betr.3
made for the r rk He said that Omaha us
the mitropolls of the middle west should
have the best collection of animal. } Indigc-
iicus to Its territory , of any city In the
United State ? A good start had been
made towards this zoological collection by
the members of the club , and he thought
the matter should bo kept warm He re
torted that the cages werei about completed
and that they would be placed therein next
Monday The gift of two elk by David Cole ,
a couple of Alaska owls by John Butler ,
aivl a wild cat by himself were re-ported
Dr Harebell continued the discussion of
s-tieet car extension along the same lines as
his predecessor He stated that ho lad re
ceived several letters from eastern capital
ists who had volunteered to Invest money In
the ne-v enterprise , and that taking such let
ters as a criterion ho thought It would be
an easy matter to float the bonds of the now
company The speaker closed with a few
remarks upon the subject ot tbo new zoo
for the park
The club then adjourned In order to take
part In the political meeting at republican

When it came up this aftJi noon a nution
for change' of venue was made by tin , dc-
fenso and the case went before Jusileo Jacobson -
cobson for hearing at S o'clock tonight , when
It was aiairi further continued until 0.30
tomorrow morning.
The complaints are all sworn to by Marls
Taylor , public examiner , and allege that the
mon y claimed to have been eribe/7led Is
the property of the state of South Dakota ,
though it is for fees collected for examina
tion of Insurance companies which arc said
to be Illegally collected. The amounts
claimed to havu been embezzled are. On the
part of Hippie. $9r..r)0G7 ; Mayhew , $ l'jri7-tl ! ;
Anderson , $3,77937. H'pple's amount eoveis
a term of four years , Anderson's over four
years and Mayhcw'H for six months
Governor Lee has employed counsel to as
sist in pushing th ? criminal prosecutions ,
as well as to push the civil s.jitK In the case
of Mayrow and Hippie , which cover prac
tically the amounts claimed to have been em-
bci/led As both sides are unxioiiH to have
the cases pushed to a Mulsh as rapidly as
pcsslbl , they will In all probability come
before the November term of circuit court.

At the last session c < r thu Black Hills Inl-
gatlon society some Interesting facts were
disclosed In regard to this sure method of
farmrtig. In many cases farmers employ
their spare time where they have lands that
can be Irrigated In making ditches and build
ing reservoirs. During the past year some
half dozen reservoirs have becn built In Kail
Hlver county and many miles ot Irrigation
ditches made. Pennlngton county Is grnd-
ually Increasing the area of Irrigated lands
and In all cases where water has been piop-
crly appll d crops have been doubled and
tripled. Some of the finest farms In the
I state ore found along Hapld and Hot Kldor
] ereeks The Increase In tbo yield of the
I land Is especially noticed In the hay crop
which is the most Important In the Hills
Meade county has both taken out new ditches
from natural water courses and Increased the
number ot icservolrs. Hutto county has
made excellent progress lu the way of Irri
gation. Tanners In th > county who have
I done practical Irrigation work during the
I year have hud wonderful crops this fall.
j Lawrence county probably shows the best
, results of what Irrigation will do of any
county in the Hills , because It has been in
use longer and there is a betUr system of
w.iter eourses available for the purpose
The most beautiful and prospeious valley In
the Hills is Speartlsh , where Irrigation is
used almost exclusively. On every hand aic
to be seen beautiful farms and costly homes
Duiing the summer several now ditches
wore made In Custer county and good results
are repoi ted ,

money necessary to carry out the scheme and
that the stock will be readily disposed of
