DISCUSSION OVER CLEANING THE STREETS
Chnlrmnn ltnnewatcr of thi > Board nf

Hampered In UlnchnrRe of
III * Oulle * .
Unquestionably the most Important matter
at lost night's regular council meeting was
an announcement from Mayor Moorcs that
he has affixed his signature to the ordinance
granting to tbe Omaha Bridge and Terminal
company the right of way to lay tracks on
Fourteenth street from the north to Hurt
street and 'hen ' In a southeasterly direction
to Eighth street and Capitol avenue , and
also to the ordinance by which the Chicago ,
St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha railroad Is
given title And right to twenty feet of the
went side of Fourteenth street , between
Ginning and Nicholas , thereby transforming
both ordinances Into laws and terminating ,
so far as the council ts concerned , a con-
trovcisy that baa lasted for weeks.
But while the foregoing matters might be
considered of considerable moment , their
Importance was cast in the shade by some
other , features of the meeting , which were
spectacular and exciting , and which were
precipitated by an Innocent resolution Intro
duced by Lobeck , who wanted the council
to rescind the resolution adopted by It a
year ago , by which the Board of Public
Works was ordered and directed not to
remove In the future any snow or Ice from
the streets of the city unless specifically
ordered to do so by the council. This Is the
resolution over which Chairman Rosewater
of the Board ot Public Works and the coun
cil have locked horns for several weeks.
When the council a week ago ordered the
board to expend $1,000 in "cleaning" the
streets Chairman Rosewater stated In a very
emphatic manner that this action was but
a grandstand play. He said that he could
not employ the money appropriated In clearIng -
Ing oft the snow and Ice on the streets , be
cause he had not been ordered to do so ;
he had simply been told to "crean" the
streets under the icy covering. He declared
that the council wanted to shift the blame
for the filthy streets upon the Board of Pub
lic Works and at the same time to pose as
desiring to have the streets cleaned. A
little desultory discussion on the measure
ensued and then the flrst firebrand was
cast by City Engineer Rosewater when he
was called upon to explain.
Talk * Out In Meeting.
"I do not think that the Board ot Public
Work * needs a guardian or any one to de
clare how much It shall expend In the
work cut out for it , " he declared. "The
council has allowed bills aggregating hun
dreds of thousands of dollars for politico1
purposes
"Do you mean the present council ? in
terjected Councilman Stuht.
"I mean that some of the members , of the
present council had a hand in It , " responded
City Engineer Rosewater. "Men who ap
prove such bills are hardly In a position
to pass upon bills that the Board of Pub-
llo Works may Incur. But returning to thla
resolution. It was not adopted after consul
tation with the head of the department ,
but was drawn up by some disgruntled
councilman. I do not propose to bo mealy
mouthed about this matter. Within a month
after It was passed certain members o"
this council wanted me to violate tbat reao
lutloa by cleaning the snow and ice oft thi
street in front ot certain firms they fa
vored.
"Thiswinter you are trying to avoid thi
responsibility for the condition of thi
streets , -which has resulted in the killing o
several horses and the serious injury of a
fireman , although you , abolutely refuse to
rescind the resolution by which the board
bes been prevented from cleaning them.
Why ? Because that resolution was adopted
to hamper and hem in the board becausr
I refused to get down on my knees In an
wcr to some ot the councilman and re
fused to accede to the disgraceful demand !
ot some members who are in the councl
ring.
"One councilman demanded that I choul
employ a man who had committed a crime
who bad tampered with the ballot box , am'
tie held this criminality as a recommend *
tlon In his favor. I refused that demand
Then this ring of seven members , four o
which dominate this council ot nine , me
In caucus a coward's retreat a retreat 1 ,
which boodlers can work out their boodlln
schemes " .
"Am I In that rlnir. " hotly broke In Presl
dent Blngham.
"I do not say that you are , " was the
answer.
"If you say that I am In such a ring , I'll
adjourn this council and show you where
I am at , " angrily retorted the president.
Mercer 1 * Hard Hit.
City Engineer Rosewater went on. He de
clared that the flrst opposition from the
council resulted from some letters received
by him in recommendation of the Improve
ment he bad made In tbe condition of the
streets. Councllmen were afraid that ho
was getting too much credit.
"What councllmen ? " asked Stubt.
"Mr. Karr told me tbat you had taken
the principal part In the work against my
department , " rejoined tbe city engineer ,
"and that the others backed you. "
"Tbat Is true so far as that resolution
la concerned , " testified Councilman Karr.
"I want to explain about that criminal
employe business. " broke In Councilman
Mercer. "I atked Mr. Rosewater to employ
Andrew Wiggins , who bad been my loyal
friend and worked for my election. Mr.
Rosewater refused. I think Wiggins Is far
more efficient than half the men Mr. Rosewater -
water now has. The only reason why ho
refused my request was that Wiggins was
u n enemy ot some candidate he favored. "
"I'd like to be put under oath regarding
Ihls matter. " answered the city engineer.
"Mr. Mercer told mo that Wiggins tampered
with tbe ballots In bis behalf and said that
he must bo appointed on the city force In
order to save him. Let me ask you some-
Words of Praise.
MARVELOUS FOWHR OP EMHIUANCE

The remarkable endurance among those
who sutler with a severe form ot rheumatism
IB without counterpart In painful tlln * .
Think of 20 , 30 or 40 years of constant fight
gainst the malady , with only brief periods
of relief. It Is no wonder when such suf
ferers are Anally cured , that their hearts are
overflowing with joy and gratitude. Many
such distressing raws ot rheumatism have
been cured of late , through the new remedy ,
Gloria , Tonic. Mr. II. Buchholtz of Nor-
boroe , Mo. , an old gentleman ot 70 , who
went through 25 years of constant suffering ,
was completely cured through this marveloua
remedy. Mrs. B. F. Kuechelae of Oliver ,
Ind. , a rheumatic sufferer for 30 years , was
also cured through Gloria Tonic. Mrs. Mary
C. Hutchens of Morris , Mian. , an Invalid
from rheumatism for 30 years , proclaim *
Gloria Tonic a wonderful remedy , It cured
her when everything else had failed.
Gloria Tonic has accomplished these won

! thing else , Mr. Mercer. Why did you try
to tamper with my clerks when they wer
drawing up the levy for the Walnut Hill
grading and urge them to violate my In
structions ? "
Mercer paid no attention to the last ques
tion , but further explained the Wiggins
affair. He said that Wiggins declared he
knew something about the election that
would benefit him In hta contest , but re
fused to divulge It unless he wa * given a
job. When the time came Wiggins knew
nothing.
For some time longer tbe discussion con
tinued , gradually growing cooler. It finally
narrowed down to the resolution that pre
cipitated it and ultimately tbe roll was
called upon It. Burkley , Burmester , Karr ,
Lobeck and Blngbam voted In favor ot
rescinding the troublesome resolution ,
while Mercer , Mount and Stuht recorded
votes in the negative. Consequently City
Engineer Rocewater will be able to ex
pend the $1,000 appropriated a week ago
In cleaning oft snow and Ice from the
downtown streets.

The Appointments by the mayor of J. H.

Brandcli and George W. Llnlnger as park
commissioners were confirmed.
Mr. Brandels succeeds C. E. Bates and
Mr. Ltnlngcr succeed * John C. Wbarton.
who resigned. Guy C , Barton was orig
inally appointed to fill the latter vacancy ,
but declined the office.
The threatened fight on Brandels did not
materialize , Blngham being the only mem
her to vote against his confirmation. Tbe
councilman explained that when he voted
for the ordlnanc * giving the mayor the
power to appoint the park commissioners
b * did so on the understanding tbat the
existing board would be reappolnted , with
the exception of Wharton. For this reason
he voted against the appointment and not
because of any feeling against Mr. Bran
dels.
dels.Tbe
Tbe resolution requiring that all clt > printIng -
Ing and lithographing shall bear the label of
the Allied Printing Trades council was for
mally adopted. Stuht and Mount voted
against It. The latter Insisted that tbe rcso
lutlon Is In violation of the charter. Coun
cilman Stuht did not explain his vote.
Leave of Absence for IJevcrlr
Street Commissioner Beverly , who Is one
of Douglas county's representatives in the
state legislature , wa * granted * lxty day * '
leave ot absence the length of the legisla
tive session but 4t waa not settled whether
he should draw hi * salary during thta time.
A resolution granting the leave without re
ferring to the matter of the salary was In
troduced first by President Blngham. The
question immediately arose whether the
reave waa with or without pay. Blngham
stated that he was willing to let the street ,
commissioner's salary run on during his
absence. The sentiment prevailed that the
granting ot the leave would carry with it
tacit agreement that tbe salary should be
paid. Four members thought that the street
commissioner should not draw a salary from
the city and another from the state at the
same time. These four were Burkley , Lo
beck , Mount and Stuht and they voted
against the resolution. Burmester , Karr ,
Mercer and Blngham cast affirmative votes.
Bechel being absent , the adoption ot
the resolution therefore failed. Later
Blngham Introduced another resolu
tion granting the leave on the agreement
that "Its passage does not carry with it or
refer to the question of salary. " This was
adopted.
Favor the KzpoHltlon.
Councilman Karr Introduced the follow
ing resolution , which was unanimously
passed :
Whereas , The successful conduct of the
great Transmlsslsrlppl Exposition recently
closed has reflected great credit upon the
city of Omaha , baa called the attention of the
people of tba country to the city a * never
before and baa brought In a new era of pros
perity ; and
Whereas. Tbe citizens of Omaha are con
sidering the feasibility of holding another
exposition in Omaha thi * year to be known
as tbe Greater America Exposition ; there
fore be It
Resolved. Bv the city council , the mayor
concurring , that , believing as we do that
such an exposition would be of great benefit
to the city of Omaha end state ot Nebraska ,
therefore we endorse said project and pledge
it our staunch support.
The request ot the Board of Education that
the alley In the rear of the new Pacific
school site be graded by the city was re
fused , as tbe board was informed that the
council will not do the work until a proper
petition , cuch aa 1 * required in other cases ,
Is filed.

BLAZE FROM AN UPSET LAMP 1
Little France * Everest and Her
Father of 2031 Parker Street
Are Seriously Domed.
Frances Everest , a child 3 years ot age ,
was seriously burned last evening In a blaze
that resulted from an overturned lamp. The
little one's Injuries may prove fatal. The
father Is L. J. Everest and the accident oc
curred In the dining room ot his home at
2631 Parker street shortly after 6 o'clock.
While the mother was busy preparing sup
per little Frances , who bad been left for a
few minutes to amuse herself in the dining
room , began to tug at the cloth covering the
table. On tbe table stood a lighted lamp.
H was drawn with the cloth Inch by Inch to
the edge and then it toppled and fell. In
an instant the cloth , carpet and tbe child's
clothing were ablaze. Her screams brought
the father to her aid and he smothered the
flames with tali coat , but not before hia
baby' * limb * had been badly burned.
An alarm ot fire was sent In by one of the
neighbors who saw the blaze , but It was ex-
tlngulihed without the aid of tbe depart
ment. Mr. Everest aUo was burned about
tbe hands and a physician was called to
dress his Injuries and those of the child.
The doctor said that the little one was very
badly burned , but tbat he had hopes for Its
recovery. The lees from the fire amounted
to only a few dollars.
Hllpped on lor Walk.
George Munroe , a car builder whose home
la in Denver , slipped on the icy eldewalk
laat night In front of 1314 Farnam street
and received a hard fall. He waa severely
Injured on the right hip.
HEARD ABOUT TOWN.
"Mining , " said Joseph T. Brown of Miles
City , Mont. , "why , there ts more and more
ot It every year In Montana. But that Is
not what I waa going to talk about. I
wanted to tell you of a casual meeting In
Miles City over a decade ago between Gov
ernor Teddy Roosevelt of New York , the
Ill-fated Marquis de Mores and a wild-eyed
cowboy. Roosevelt and the marquis were
In a little log saloon drinking snake medi
cine when In swaggered the cowboy.
" 'Dance , you little pup of a half-starved
coyote ! ' yelled the newcomer , flashing a
big horse pistol and pointing Its muzile at
the hero of the Rough Riders.
Whether It was because he was taken
o suddenly or uad not learned to dance In
Is boyhood , I don't know , but there Teddy
loojevelt , the 'dude cowboy from New York , '
, s we all called him , stood stock still with-
mt moving a leg , while we ihrunk around ,
breathlessly expecting that all his hopes ,
anchlng or political , would be suddenly cut
ihort by a chunk of hot lead from the
drunken cowboy's treaiendous Colt. Reese
elt's imperturbability was too much , and
t unnerved the cowboy. Turning away
with dlsguct the latter began to pay atten-
lon to the marquis.
" 'Will you have a little drink with us ?
he young scion of Gallic nobility invited
him , In the mildest of tone and with a soft
French accent that was excruciating. Til
ako a little wine ? ' said the marquis , tuni
ng to the bartender.
" 'You measfy bullet-headed Frenchman , '
hundercd the cowboy In a voice that was
almost a screech , 'you'll take whisky , you
will , ' at the same time swinging his weapon
so as to get a bead on the marquts. Quick
aa lightning a report came , the cowboy's pls-
: ol fell to tbe floor and his hand hunc limp
by his side. All we saw was the smoking
revolver of. the marquis. I don't know to
this day how It happened how that mild
mannered little Frenchman did It and I
never saw a wild and woolly cowboy more
aken aback.
" 'I will have little wine '
a , said the mar
quis , repeating his order , 'and our friend here
will take some water ! ' his tone still being
ot the most tantalizing- ! quiet kind.
' 'If you'll permit me , ' broke In the cow
boy , humbly , I'd like to take whisky , and
the drinks are on me ! '
"I remember putting In an otherwise dull
Sunday at a negro Baptist church In a small
Tennessee town , " said Clayton White of
New York , the well known theatrical man ,
as be stood In one ot the downtown hotels
yesterday , reeling off stories by the yard.
'This church waa the only attraction in
the place , and , Inasmuch aa our company
was billed to play a night in tbe same edl
flee , It was the most natural thing that I
should become a model church goer on the
Lord's day , and make a good Impression on
the people of the place , nine-tenths of whom
were colored , and most of them admirers of
Elder Andrew Jackson , as the white-haired
old darky minister called himself.
"Several hymns were sung In the
characteristic style and then there were a
few fervent prayers by the pastor and some
very eloquent deacons. The sermon fol
lowed. It was on the text : 'All Things
Are Possible to Him That Bclleveth. '
" 'And now. ' said the minister after leadIng -
Ing up to his subject by a confusing mass
of scriptural quotations , giving book ,
chapter and y > rse for each , Tse gwlne ter
gib to youse black Iambs ob de good Lawd'e
flock de bery authorltlylty from de book
ob de Most High , which am i'gwlne to con
vlctlfy ebery sinner In de Ian * dat wars di
wool. '
"He turned to his fclble to read th
quotation ho had In mln(5 ( , .little recking
'
that some bright urch'fp bad previously
pasted several of the leaves together. Then
he read :
" 'And dls yar eon ob Belial took unti
himself a wife * ( turning over , as he sup
posed , to the next page ) 'forty cubits long
and sixteen cubits broid. '
"Adjusting his spectacles so aa to b
certain of the startling revelation , he read
It again. With an air of deep satisfaction
he raised the whites of his eyes to his In
tensely Intereated congregation and com
merited :
' 'Deah chlllun ob de White Lamb , dls I
de bery passage what I's been
prognosticating for , an 'It am de bes' proof
from de highest authorltlvlty an * shows
how truly an' won'erfully we'se made. '
"I stuck through that service , -but If I
had not been schooled long and hard In
wearing a solemn look on all occasions I
should have spoiled rv face for life. "

OHN KENNEDY UNDER ARREST
Ic In Ilcllcved to HP the Lender of
the GntiR Which Hohlied n Train
Lnt Tucdny.
KANSAS CITY , Jan. 10. John Kennedy ,
iften suspected of train robbery and twice
rled for that offense , and now under In-
Ictmcnt for the murder ot Emma Shumakcr ,
x grocery woman whoso store'ho helped rob ,
was arrested In this city today , charged
with complicity In the robbery of the Kan-
a.a City , Fort Scott & Memphis passenger
rain , which was held up near Maconib , Mo. ,
ast Tuesday night.
Kennedy's arrest occurred two hours after
a detective agency had flooded the town with
hand bills offering $500 for his arrest. The
reward was offered Jointly by the railroad
company and the Southern Express com
pany , whose through safe was dynamited
by the robbers.
Kennedy had Just returned to the city and
his lawyer says he had been to Texas to
place a mortgage on hla farm there. The
police say he came to see a woman to whom
he Is encaged.
Five men are now under arrest at Mans-
fleld , Mo. , for complicity in the Macomb
robbery , and the officers say tbrco of them
have confessed and In their confessions told
hat Kennedy was the organizer and leader
of the robbery.
One of these men , known as Jennings , is
believed by the officers to bo the old train
robber , Bill Ryan , who was a member ot
the famous gang of outlaws led by Jess
and Frank James. At Mansfield today a roll
of bills amounting to $284 was found sewed
In Jennings' clothes.
Another ot the robbers , Elmer Byrum , told
he Mansfield officers today where they could
flnd $ GOO In money and two watches which
the robbers had hid and the booty was re
covered.
Kennedy was out on bond on the Schu-
maker murder case. He was twice tried tor
eadlng the Alton robbery at Blue Cut , near
here , in 1896 , when $32,000 was secured.
The first jury disagreed and the second re
turned a verdict of acquittal. At the time
stories ot perjured witnesses and bribed
Juries were common.
Jesse James , Jr. , a son of the noted bandit
with whom Bill Ryan made many a raid ,
will be tried here on next Monday on an In.
dlctment charging complicity In the robbery
of a Missouri Pacific train at Leeds , Mo. ,
last September. Kennedy and Young Jame *
are good friends.
FIRE ON JAPANESE CRUISER
Crew Debnve * with Great Bravery
and Finally Bring * the Ship
/
Into Port.
SEATTLE , Jan. 10. News by steamer
from Japan says the second class Japanese
cruiser Kalmon Kan has reached Amoy a
partial wreck , as the result of a fire that
broke out during a storm at sea. Five of the
crow of the cruiser were burned to death and
many others Injured. The Kalmon Kan was
a wooden vessel of the old style , and had
on board a number ot soldiers besides Its
regular crew. When a few days out and In
the midst of a gale a fire was discovered
In one of the bunkers to the rear ot ( he en
gines. The Japanese crew behaved with
great bravery and streams of water were
soon playing on the fire. At this Juncture
an accident to tbe machinery made it neces
sary for some one to go down the alley. It
was a case of almost sure death. Two men
volunteered to go down. Before they got to
the machinery in need of repair the smoke
overcame them. No one would go In after
them and the fire soon consumed their bodies.
The engines were kept running or the vessel
would surely have foundered. The vessel Is
repairing at Amoy. The news reached Toklo
some time ago , but has only leaked out
through letters sent from home.

Mme. Yale will deliver her new lecture. "Tho Foollch Virgins , " at Boyd's Opera
House , next Monday afternoon , Jan. 16th , at 2:30. : The Intense excitement produced by
this lecture In the East has created such an overwhelming demand for tickets that
many thousands of ladles have been turned away In every city where Mme. Yale has
appeared , and although she has repeated her lecture several times , an additional In
crease of interest has intensified the demand. As a result of this condition It has been
found necessary to regulate the free distribution of tickets for Mme. Yale's lecturea
by the following system :
Tickets for Mma. Yale's Lecture
HOW AND WHERE TO GET THEM.
As Boyd's Opera House holds about two thousand people only , , and as at least ten
thousand ladles will apply for tickets to at tend Mme. Yale's lecture , it will be neces
sary to turn thousands away , as usual , bu t so as to give the purchasers of the Yale
remedies the preference , one ticket will b e given with the purchase ot any of Mme.
Yale's dollar preparations , or Us equlvalen t In any of Mme , Yale's Remedies. Pur-
cbaso must be made at the Yale departmet , with the drug department In the Boston
Store at the time when ticket Is applied for. This system will have a tendency to re
tard rdorc curiosity seekers from attcndln g and occupying space that might bo utll-
lt d to better advantage , and besides It wll 1 create a. feeling of mutuality between the
audience and lecturer , and at tbe sanio time enable Mme. Yale to appear before an
audience ot ladles who have manifested their Interest In her work In a practical sense.
Besides , it is absolutely necessary to make this arrangement in order to handle the
crowds who apply for tickets. Although Mme ; Yale's lectures are Invariably attended
by tbe more intelligent classes , it Is an Ira poss\blHty \ to accommodate them all.
SOUVENIRS.
Ladles attending the lecture will be
given a Souvenir- Jar of Afme. Yale's
