An echo of the exciting clash that occurred
)
curred last week between City Engineer
llosewater and certain of the city fathers
dimly reverberated through the council
chamber at U t night's meeting of the city i
oldcrmen In the adoption of n resolution
t
Instructing the city engineer to specify under i
oath the charges he mode a week ago. Thla
ftttfl ono of the Important features of the
esslon , eren though It caused hardly a rlp-
plo In the proceedings and very little lh-
cusslon. The other Important matter , the
one that will appeal most to the taxpayers ,
consisted of the entlmates made by the heads
of the varloiui city departments of the i
amount of money they will respectively ,
|
need to run their offices during the coming
year.
These estimates were presented to the
council by Mayor Moores , to whom the vari
ous heads of departments had reported.
They wore not even read , but wore referred
to committee. This action was taken be
cause the council and the city officials will
hold a meeting to consider them and formu
late the levy In the near future. The es
timates were as follows :

Councilman Stuht resurrected the contest
of a wock ago by presenting the following
resolution :
Whereas , on the 10th day of January ,
3899 , at a regular meeting of the city roun-
cll of the city of Omaha , the city engineer
of said city , Hon. Andrew Iloacwater , openly
asserted nnd charged that there existed
within said council , and among the mem
bers thoicof. an unlawful and Improper
league , or "ring , " 'the members of which
had Untl were unlawfully , and In violation
of tholr oaths , conspiring and confederating
together with the purpose- and InUmtlon of
to voting and so acting In their capacity as
councilman no to Improperly and wrong
fully Interfere with 'the said city engineer
in the discharge of hit ) duties , and with the
purpose and Intention of discrediting nald
ijlty engineer In the conduct of hl depart
ment : and
Whereas. In the Interests of good govern
ment It IB needful that said charges should
bo proven If true , or dlsproven If untrue ;
now therefore be It
Ilenolved , That said Andrew Uosewa'tr ,
city engineer , bo and ho is hereby requested
and Instructed to present to the council , at
4ta next regular meeting , In writing , full
BpccHlcntlorn as to such alleged unlawful
acU' , doings or conspiracies , and that he bo
| urther rpgufitedto duly make p th to the
Barnc : and be It furth
lUEolved. That the city clerk present said
Andrew Ilosewiater. city engineer , a certified
copy of thl resolution. *
"Mr. Uosowater said that I am the leader
In tj ring of this council , " explained Council
man Stuht. "I have tried to find out who
ray associates are and I have failed. This
Is not meant to be a discourtesy to Mr.
Rose water , but we oucht to find out whether
he was a. little hasty or whether ho nas
expending some bile he may have had on
bis stomach "
The resolution was adopted without a dis
senting vote.
Money for Street CIcnnlnK.
Despite this resolution , an additional { 1,000
was appropriated for cleaning the streets
and the money was given to the Hoard of
Public Works with a good humor and grace
that stood out In picturesque contrast with
the pyrotechnics of a week ago. Councilman
t/obeck was the cnuue of this action. He
The first warn
ing that you're
in the clutches
of the Grippe !
Then comes the
fever , pain in the
head , constant desire
to cough , soreness of
the muscles , and ex
treme prostration.

"Cured in a day. "
That's the usual
story.
Later , the Cherry

TwtiliMi MCU..II.M. AII4n l > U.
originally Introduced a resolution appropri
ating 13.000 for the work , whenever thn
money may be available. "Tho people nro
very well pleated with the work that hna
RO far been done. " explained Lobeck , but
the original appropriation of $1.000 Is not
mifflclcnt to properly clean streets outMdo ot
the business center , nesldes. In this way
wo can glvo Idle laborers work. "
Mount was the most strenuous objector to
the resolution. He said that In time the city
would have to clean the streets , but he
declared that this time was still two months
off not until spring arrived. If the Btreetn
were cleaned now. bo Insisted that a storm
might cover them with filth again In a few
days.
Stuht wanted to know whether 15.000 was
available for the work and It wns found
that but Sl.OOO la on band. Then Stuht
wanted the matter referred for a week , be
cause It WUB Icaiiii-il that the Doard of Pub
lic Works has JCOO left out of the original
{ 1.000 to do street cleaning. This motion

Councilman Stuht Introduced a resolution
Instructing the city comptroller to draw up
a stattment showing the amount of rental
the city has paid for water hydrants locntod
In the Union Padflc shop grounds , the gov
ernment corral , the smelting works and on
other private property. He expl laed that
he was doubtful whether the city or the
ow ncrs of this property should "pay such
rentul. The resolution was adopted.
In addition to approving a number of
other measures Mayor Moores sent In his
approval of the resolution that requires the
union label to bo stamped on all city print
ing and also an approval of the comoromlse
whereby the property owners on Leaven-
worth street will bo able to pay for the
repaying of that thoroughfare without bclnc
assessed the 5 per cent penalty Interest.
The gas company reported that durlns last
5car It sold , exclusive of the amount used
by the city. 247.388.500 feet of cas. Of this
amount 25,433.CSC feet has not been paid
for. Under the law the company must pay
a rovalty on the balance , 221,954,952 feet ,
which It yesterday * depoeltd In the city
treasury In the sum of $11,400.
An ordinance declaring the necessity of
enlarging Illvervlew c rk to the ? extent of

were also passed.
The Kovernment will bo requested In a
ortnldablo resolution , adorned with the
city's seal and the major's signature , to

cctod to Congressman Mercer and Senator
Thuraton.
The bulldlne Inspector was Instructed to
draw up the estimate of thi cost of placing
wo dark cells In the city jail. The plumber
who did the plumbing In the Jail was also
ordered to replace at his own expense some
defective work.
City Clerk Hlghy reported that all the
members of the new park commission had
lied a proper bond.
DEATH HATH
Doctor * Attribute It to What We Kilt.
The constantly Increasing number of
Iraths from stomach troubles Is exciting the
teonest Interest among the medical frater
nity. The prevalence of these stomach dis
orders or aliments the doctors attribute
argcly to Impure food products with which
the country at large seCms to be flooded ,
and In an attempt to counteract which many
of the states have enacted pure food laws.
The fnct of the matter Is the people of the
United States nre , as n rule , too careless
nd Indifferent ns to vvhnt they eat or how
It Is cooked , and the Inevitable penalty of
llsordered stomachs Is the result. One of
the adulterations thJt Is meet serious In Its
effects Is the use of alum to whiten bread ere
o furnish cheap baking powder. It destroys
the coating of the stomach , produooe dy
spepsia , and eventually poisons the blood.
Tiy a pleco of alum In jour mouth and note
ho result. No stomach Into which It enters
can long remain healthy.

Minn Cooler.
Miss Minnie Cooler of Thirteenth and Wll-
llami streets ITas to have been married last
Sunday to Morris Podolsky of 114 North
Eleventh street , but the husband-elect failed
to Appear and the weld Ing was Indefinitely
postponed. Mr. I'odolsky Is missing and hns
nut been heard from lnco last Thursday
night , although EOIUO of his friends profess
to have positive know ledge of hie having
gone to Kansas City. His 14-year-old sis
ter was out walking Tuesday afternoon and
mot a man whom she Is positive had on her
brother's overcoat. As Mr. I'odolsky had
something like $50 on hU person when he
left it Is feared some misfortune may have
overtaken htm.
Mtes Cooler is 21 years of age and has
been resident of Omaha about four
months. She came from Goldlng , Sweden ,
and has been living -with her aunt. Soon
after her arrival Morris Podolsky sent an
emissary , M. Lund , to iMIss Cooler's aunt
and mads a proposal of marriage. Negotia
tions were acceptable and a betrothal party
followed. They were to have been married
Christmas , but I'odolsky asked to have the
ceremony delayed until January 1C. Last
week he m t Mr. Lund and proposed that
Invitations bo Issued for the follow Ing Sun
day , so seventy-five were sent out. Thurs
day Mr. Lund saw Podoleky and asked him
If he bad gotten a license. He sold ho had
not , but would got ono the next day. That
was apparently the last seen of him by any
one Taking It for granted , however , that he
would aecure a license and appear at the
appointed time the preparations were made.
His own parents arranged the house for
the ceremony and Mrs. Podoilsky did a lot
of bald eg. Miss Cooler had her bridal
gown ready and Sunday afternoon the
frlonoo prepared to attend the wedding ,
which was expected to occur a t 630 In the
evening. A party of frlonJe assembled at
Mr. Lund' house and the bride was at-
tlrod for tne ceremony when. . * man np
peared and announced that Morris Podolsky
was not In the oily. Mr. Lund started to
Inveattcate. He found that many presents
bad been sent In "by friend * and that the
pareats of the 'bridegroom-elect ' were Just
as much mystified over the sudden disap
pearance of ithelr eon as lie.
Mis * Cooler was almott prostrated over
Podolaky's disappearance and her suffering
s ald to have been pitiable. She threat
ened to o.4 her llfo by bontlnu her brains
out aealnst the wall and was restrained
only by sympathizing friends.
Young Podol ky made a good itylng b ?
peddling fruit or selling It to merchants
and at houses. BO lack of cash could not
lave caused btm to fall In the fulfillment ot
its prorotee. His father mad * him a pres
ent of a check with which to purchase fur
niture for his house and ho Is unable to
offer any satisfactory explanation of his
boy's aot < on .
Friends of Mil * Oool r r Incensed and
promise young Podolsky rough treatment If
10 appears In the olty without being able to
convince them he iwa unable to attend his
own wedding. They believe he has loft the
city. Hla sister , however. Insists that she
could not tavo been mistaken In his over

pany has given the committee the right-of-
way and will do all that he can to help the
ball along. Flags and bunting will bo shown
in abundance , and from the stars and
stripes of the flag tiny Incandescent lights

Patrons of the city scales are not at al
pleased at the action of the city council li
passing over complaints made agalnu
Vt'elghmaster lbrIdtp. ; Judging from thi
nature of the complaints there does not Beer
to bo any perional fight on Mr. Walbrldge
but It hi assorted that he U too old to prop
erly attend to his dutlts. The council ha
directed that City Engineer Heal Inspect th
books of the weljchmaster once a week li
order to prevent If possible a repetition o
the errors which It Is alleged have been mad
In the piut. It 13 also the Intention to hav
the scalea losoectcd In order to see if tb
balances are in good working order. Wlie
complaints werp first made to the mayor b
requested the city engineer to Investlpat
and the report of this oincer was given t
the council In detail. The report showc
cross neglect or Incompctency or eUe de
fectlve scales.
Knclneer Deal held that the location of th
ioalcs prevented to some extent accurat
weighing , especially In winter time. O
warm days the snow nnd Ice which natural !
accumulate at the corner ot Twenty-olxt !
and Li street melt and run Into the sluice
ways nt each end of the welching platform ,
There la no sewer beneath to carry off the
water and the dripping * are liable to pre
vent an accurate adjustment.
In this connection the rumor thinks ho
has done his duty by suspending Walbrldge
and appointing an impartial man to investi
gate. The council has seen fit to reject the
report of this official and Walbrldgo is still
on duty. At the present tlmo Walbrldgo
pays a rental of $50 a year for the scales ,
and sorno days he takes in lees than n package -
ago of tobacco. It la undorntood thnt the
owner of the scales must Keep them In re
pair , and If this Is not done from this time
on the city will look elsewhere for scales.

The city council chamber Is nndly deficient
when It comes to lights and something will
have to be done to secure better and more
light. When the wiring was put lu the
lights were strung out the entire length ot
the room , drops being placed iv certain num
ber of feet apart. This system Is unsatis
factory nnd on account of the length of the
room and the height of the celling yields
but llttlo light. It has been suggested that
a three-burner cluster be placed about n
foot from the celling over the mayor's desk
and a burner of the same kind located In
the front part of the room. In the center
a five or six-burner chandelier should b
placed In order to furnish sufficient light for
the members of the council. It Is stated
that these clusters would give plenty of
light and at no more cost than the present
Inefficient system.

llrlgadlcr Stlllwell , chief of the depart
ment of the Salvation Army In which the
local corp * [ < \ situated , arrived at 10:30 :
o'clock jesterday morning from Norfolk. The
brigadier Is on his annual tour of Inspec
tion and will lea\c for Kansas City , where
his headquarters are , ns soon as ho has
been over the work here. Ho does not an
ticipate remaining hero o\cr two days.
"What Impressed mo most , on this trip
of Inspection , " said the brigadier , "Is the
fact that In splto of the wonderful progress
that * haa been made all along the line by
the Salvation tinny there Is ono thing In
which It has remained statlonniy. I refer
to the efforts to gl\o help to those who uctxl
most the comforts contained In the true
knowledge of God. I'coplo are apt , In the
hurry of things nowadajs , to loss sight of
the fact that the arm ) nlwas has been and
still remains the friend of the poor nnd the
outcast. Evci ) where 1 went the same
story met mo of sahntlon among these
clasRCs. I have been In the army seen -
teen years nnd should be mod to this port of
affairs , but simohow It Irnpi esses mo more
and more each jear.
"Another thing that Impressed me Im
mensely during this trio , " continued the
brigadier , "Is the success of the original
colony of the Sahntlon army at Fort Amity ,
Colo. The colony Is not yet a jcar old ,
ha\lng been started In April last , but It
exceeds our expectations and fully justifies
us In our belief that It is the only true
solution of the soc'al problem. Wo lia\e
had no trouble whate\cr with the people
we bioufht there , nnd they have enteied
heart nnd soul Into the work. The tonse-
ntience Is niturally that they are working
to help themschcs and us at the same time
and the results have been Indeed gratifying.
The prediction that the enthusiasm mani
fested at first would gradually die out ap
pears to not be well founded. The men
who ha\o been on the colony ever since Its
organization are today ni grateful for th" .
opportunity given them to help themselves
as they were when they first put foot on
the land. They are proving themselves
worthy of the trust that we have pul In
thorn and they are living 'hs foundations
for a humanitarian work of glorious and , as
let , undreamed of possibilities.

Hi'AlfHH tin * Army lllxtory.
In spite of the cold weather a fair sized
crowd gathered to hear Brigadier Still-
well at the headquarters of the Salva
tion Army. The brigadier did not disap
point his audience. His lecture was inter
esting Indeed. He told of the early llfo of
the Salvation Army ; how It was prosicuted
nnd persecuted ; how It struggled and how It
persisted In Its work nnd how , finally , It
succeeded. It was only a repetition of
the history of the army In every city. He
told of his own conversion , of his life In
England nnd Scotland end how he finally
came to this country ; of his reception In
Philadelphia by a crowd of roughs ; , how ho
stood by .his principles nnd with the aid of
ithe police managed to triumph In his first
meeting.
The brigadier Is not an orator , but there
Is that about htm that impresses his audi
ence with the sincerity of the man and It Is
tills that bus made him a leader In his line
of work. Ho has been , In the Salvation
Army for seventeen years and during thnt
tluio has acquired an invaluable experi
ence. Ho IH a good story-teller and holds
his audience well. This was demonstrated
by his keeping a portion of the crowd that
was not Interested in his work , but only
In bis Rtorlco. Some disappointment was
expressed by the local nimy peopla that the
weather did not permit the attendance of a
larger number.

regarding the opportunities for Investments
In the Philippines :
Ho says that Industrial enterprises offer
the best Inducements and that American
labor has no chance to compete with the
native laborers , who can stand the climate ,
can llvo on the natlvo foods and aio In
every other way more fitted to perform the
labor of the country than Americans and
laboring men are warned to give the Phil
ippines a wide berth In their search for new
fields.

Letters to Mrs. Pinkham From Women Who Have Boon Helped Prom
Sickness or Health.
The ordinary evcry-dayllfo of mostof our women is aceasclcss treadmill of work.
How much harder the dally tasks become when some derangement of the
female organs makes every movement painful and
keeps the nervousbystem unstrung !
The following letter from Mrs. WAI.TEII S. HANTA ,
Sparkill , N. Y. , tells the btory of many women ,
and shows them how to get relief :
"DKAitMits. PINKHAM : I cannot thank you
enough for all Lydia U. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound hasdono for me. When I wrote to
you I had suffered for years with falling , in
flammation and ulceratlon of the womb ;
my back ached , and I was so much
distrcsbed I could bcarcely walk. I
was a burden to mybclf nnd did not
care whether I lived or died.
"I have taken five bottles of your
medicine and it has done wonders for
me as all my friends can testify. I can
now do my own work , and do not know
how to express my gratitude to you for
the good your medicine and advice
have done me , I owe my life to Mrs.
Pinkham. " .
Mrs. Pinkham's counsellsoffered free
to all women who need advice about
their health. Her address is Lynn ,
Mass. Mrs. P. H. lIuTcucnoFT , Kel
lorton , Iowa , tells hero in her own
words how Mrs. Plnkhara helped her :
"DEAB Mns. PINKIIAM : I was in a
very bad condition before I wrote to
you and began the \iso of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I
did not know what to do. I suffered
terribly every month , when on my
feet would have Mich a bearing-down feeling , was very vreak , womb was
swollen , back ached , appetite was very poor , also had trouble with my head.
I have taken several bottles of your Compound and cannot say enough in its
iavor. It helped more than all the doctors. "
