11 vas "diamond cut diamond" In Judge
DIcklnson'H court between the contending
nttoinoys In the mandamus suit of John
Khiintihan against the city of SoiitU Omaha.
About three jearj , ago n claim of the late
Katherlno Drlsioll of NVola , In. , against the
city for personal Injuries was compromised
nnd a Judgment allowed for J2.COO by stip
ulation. Slmnnhan Is the son-in-law of the
deceased and wan appointed administrator
of the estate. The city IB resisting the
judgment an the gionnd of fraud nnd col
lusion and Shanahan fcodts to Imvo the city
innmiarmikPil to levy a. tnS to pay the Judg
ment. Meanwhile Henry Owens , ns n tax
payer , lins Intervened with nn Injunction
suit to prevent the city from paying nnd
Slmnnhan from collecting the Judgment.
Doth matters nro being heard by Judge
Dickinson conjointly nnd tlio mllio duy
vas consumed nnd still no end ronrVoil.
The attorneys handled cnch olhe > In n
rather Intel cetlng manner. Holli T. J. MaLoney -
Lonoy , who represents Shnnahan. nnd City
Attorney Montgomery of South Oinahu liad
to take the stand , alternately cutting \wn
another with merciless questions.
w "Were jou cmplojed as attorney for th < ?
city of South Omaha ? " Mahoney asked
Montgomery.
"Yes , nnd I was paid (2J ( , " was the quick
reply.
"Did you earn the money ? " Mnhoncy re
torted.
"I don't tlilnk I did , " snapped Montgom
ery. "I took the sum that was proffered tome
mo nnd naked no questions. "
This is but a sample ot the numerous
bouts In which the attorneys Indulged.
Clnlin IN ANMlKiicil.
From the ovldonto given it appeared that
before the Judgment was agreed to Sirs ,
Drlscoll vvaa Induced to nsalgn her claim
to Thomas Hector , then city treasurer , for
4400. Hector nnd Attorney Sutton \\ont to
Noola for the purpose of making some
such arrnngcment with the woman. A stlp-
ulatlon was then entered Into between the
nttornoyi for Mrs. Drlscoll and the city , re
spectively , whereby a Judgment for $2,500
was obtained ns a compromise , half to go
to the claimant for her assignee nnd the
other half to Mrs Mary ( ! . Madden , n sister
oi M'.1 Hoctor. Mrs. Madden Is made a co-
dofcndnnt with the city In the Shnnahan
suit , with Mr , Hector Intervening. A suit
was eventually brought by Mr Mahoney , ns
counsel for Timothy Drlscoll , the widower ,
to have this assignment of Mrs. Drlscoll'a
claim sot nsldo on ttio ground that it hail
been obtained In n questionable manner.
It Is Hils very snmo arrangement with
Mrs. Drlscoll by which the claim was as
signed to Hector and the consequent Judg
ment procured by stipulation that City At
torney Montgomery sets forth ns reasons
why n peremptory writ should not bo Issued ,
nnd Owens In his injunction suit also alleges
fraud In the manner the judgment was ob
tained. The peculiar circumstances have
contributed to very much complicate the
contnnersy , but the only point upon which
ttio court Is to pass Is whether there ac-
tualfy was fraud. If Judge Dickinson should
so hold the mandamus would be denied nnd
Owens would get his Injunction.
Among other things brouglit tint by Mr.
Montgomery was that the word "February"
had been erased In the original Drlscoll pe
tition and "January" Inserted , eo that the
time would come within the necessary
ninety dnjs for the filing of the claim. The
clt > council of South Omaha was In some
way persuaded to consent to Uie $2,500 Judg-
mcn : , but there has never boon any ap
propriation made for the purpose of pay-
Ins , it nor any levy mndo to cover the out
lay Involved. Owens sijs ho Is determined
to do all ho can to keep the city from mnk-
Inf , iiny levy to satisfy the Judgment. His
Injunction suit was resorted to for fear
that the compromise by which the judg
ment was entered might bo Bet up as nn
estoppel to the city's reslstence.

The old controversy between the U. J
Gunning company nnd Charles Shlvcrick &
Co. over a tobicco sign , or rather the nb-
oouce of the sign , on n party wall at 120C
Douglas street has como up before Judge
Slabnugh on the Gunning company's appeal
from the action of the county court.
The Gunning company sued for Jl.OOO
Some question ns to the real ownership of
the wall came up and this phnso was settled
In the supreme court by n decision to the
effect that Samuel R. Rogers was the owner.
The Gunning company claimed to Iijwo n
'
eontrnct with Rogers to use the walf'as n
Blgn nrua for a monthly rental. The county
court decided against the plaintiff because
It could not bo shown that It was In actual
possession of the wall IXB tenant at the time
the trespass , upon which the f 1,000 claim
was based , was committed , nnd In this shape
the suit Is now on trial In the district court
The alleged trcsparfl was the obliteration
of the sign , which was the familiar ono of
n bull advertising n tobacco company. Shlv-
erlck & Co. considered It of n questionable
character nnd hurtful to the bunlncss of the
firm , nml the sign was painted out nnd the
advertisement of the defendant painted on
the wall In its stead. A jury was sworn
late yesterday afternoon and testimony hns
begun.

DR. SWARD GOES TO SWEDEN

( lon of 1C 1 up : Qxrnr ,
IIOCKFORD , III. , March 14 The proceed
ings of the Swedish Lutheran church of the
Illinois district of the Augustlna synod , In
session in this city , had a touch of sad
ness today. Dr. J. S. Sward of Omaha , head
of the Lutheran body In America , and ono of
the leaders of the denomination , said farewell -
well to the synod and to America. Dr.
Sward has been called by the special request
of King Oscar to the state church at Stockholm
helm , where he will become the first Luth
eran minister of the realm. Dr. Sward is
known to nearly every Swedish Lutheran
In this country and by his writings.
In the scrlne of 1896 the annual meeting
of the Augustana synod of the Swedish
Lutheran church was held In Omaha , and at
that meeting a congratulatory address was
prepared to the king and quccu of Sweden
upon the approaching completion of the
twenty-fifth year of King Oscar's reign. Dr.
Sward was president ot the synod hnd he
was delegated to go to Stockholm to present
the address in person. This anniversary was
celebrated In Stockholm by nn exposition nnd
many natives ot that country now residents
of the United States returned to take part
In the joyous occasion. That was In 1837 ,
and during this period Dr. Swnrd , as repre
sentative of Augustana synod , met King Os
car , and from that visit this call is believed
to have resulted.
The Lutheran Is the state church in
Sweden and it Is supported from the income
from lands set aside
for this purpose years
ago , relieving the members ot the congrega
tion of the burden of contributing" this
end. For certain of the parishes the king
has the right to designate any ono he chooses
for pastor , but ordinarily ho consults with
the congregation before making his selection.
Dr. Sward's appointment comes through the
uno ot this power , and Is taken by members
ot the church in this city to be a means of
recognizing the Augustnna &ynod for Its con
sideration during the anniversary celebra
tion.
It is not understood by the members of Dr.
Sward's church here that he goes to Stock
holm. He becomes a minister in the state
church of Sweden , but the location of his
congregation will not bo made until he ar
rives at the capital. One ot the first steps
ho will bo required to take upon his return
will be to renounce his American citizen
ship , for a minister of the state church must
be n citizen of Sweden. Ho must also be a
man of tried experience In the work of the
church and of superior educational qualifica
tions.
Dr. Sward began his service In the min
istry ot the Lutheran church ns n mission
ary at Stockholm. Later ho was trans
ferred to Now York about 1873 , where ho
continued his mission work nnd tolled
'among the sailors. Afterward ho severed
his connection with the church organization
In Sweden and attached himself to August-
ana synod , which Is the national orgnnlza-
tlon In this country , Five years ago ho
came to this city from St. Paul , where ho
has since served ns pastor ot Emanuel Swed-
ltd Lutheran church nt Nineteenth nnd Cass
streets
Dr. Sward expects to leave this city in
July on his return trip to his native land
nnd will bo accompanied by his family. Pre
vious to his departure , which.Is yet some
time In the future , the members of his con
gregation , who have grown to revere their
minister , will pay some farewell tribute to
him ns a token of their high regard , and ap
preciation of the honor which has been con
ferred upon him.

The members of the city council , particu
larly Councilman Stuht , and City Engineer
Hosowater are to bo the special guests at
n meeting of the North Side Improvement
club , to be held at Thirty-second street nnd
Ames nvenue , next Monday night. The in
vitations were extended nt n meeting of
the club ( Monday night. Councilman Karr
was the only city official present nnd ho
was called upon to tell how ho was unable
to secure a number of Improvements the
northsiders want because the other mem
bers of the council would not let him have
them. This resulted in the issuance of
the invitation.
One of the things that the club Is particu
larly advocating Is an extension of the North
Omaha sewer. This sewer extends at pres
ent to Thirty-first and Bristol streets nnd
the club wnnts It continued farther down
town. For lack of this extension n number
of floods causing considerable damage to
property has resulted because the water
could not be carried off. The work that the
northsiders wish will consume about two-
thirds of the proceeds of the $30,000 sewer
bonds voted at the election last fall.
The club members are also dissatisfied
with the wnter supply in the north end of
the city and nro anxious to have a dozen
water hydrants placed In various parts of
the territory. These hydrants have not been
put hi because of lack of money. The club
members also wish a fire alarm box located
in Central park and another at the old Fort
Omaha. These improvements have also not
been mailo because there la no money for
the purpose.

Plani for the three big battleships nu-
thorlzcil by the novnl appropriation bill just
passed are being worked out. The battle
ships will bo 1,000 tons larger thnn the
Malno and Missouri cl.i&s , having a dis
placement ot 13,500 tons nnd making thorn
by far the largest ships In the American
navy , nnd equalling In dimensions the best
types of battleship * now being constructed
nhroad under the new practice. The speed
of the ships will bo eighteen knots , nn
ndvanco of two knots over the Oregon class
nnd just equal to that of the .Maine. Tor
protection the fighters will Imvo one belt
of nrmor seven and one-half feet lirond nnd
twelve Inches thick , running clear nround
the \vntor line three nnd one-half feet
above and four feet below. It will bo Im
possible to begin work on the ships this
summer , as nnnor cannot bo procured for
$300 per ton , the amount fixed by congress ,
The six cruisers of the unarmored class
provided for will bo built nt once , the pur-
poco ot the Navy department being to place
contracts for these ships at the earliest
possible moment. They will bo sheathed
with wood over the steel hull nnd fully
coppered , en.ibllng them to keep the PC.IS
oven In tropical waters for ninny months
without being under the necessity of seek
ing n dry deck. The battery will be made
up of six 5-Inch guns for each 6hlp.
The distinguished foreigners , especially
the nngllsh , who were guests at the \Vhito
I houBo dinners during the last season were
probably kept busy mentally comparing the
difference between the flower-bedecked table
I of which President and Mrs. 'McKlnley ' were
host and hostess and that presided over by
her majesty , Queen Victoria. The White
!
t House china Isvery neat nnd pretty , and
no doubt expensive , but it la only china ,
I and the queen's service Is solid gold. It Is
said that King George IV ordered over 1,000
i pieces , rach embossed and engraved In at-
1 tlstio designs , the cost of which , In pound * ,
i shillings and police probably nobody ever
| knew , except the king's minister of finance.
When this gold service was brought out at
Windsor the other day in honor of Ambassa
dor Choato It must have struck him as be
ing exceptionally grand. Uut whllo the
china of the White House may not compare
with the gold service of the queen of Eng
land , the llowor ornamented table cannot
bo excelled anywhere , for Its \ well known
that the White House has some of the finest
flowers In the world.
Since the talk hns been going around that
Secretary Alger is about to leave the cabi
net a number of eastern newspapers have
been urging Mr. iMelklejohn as n worthy
successor. It Is a well known fact that
Mr. Melklejohn has conducted his depart
ment with exceptional ability. His depart
ment has been free from the scandals at
taching to the War department as a whole
nnd he onjojs very confidential relations ,
not only with the president , but with the
heads of the several bureaus.

It means it is the purest mado.
Soaps , strong with alkali , will eat
And burn the clothes , and leave them frayed ,
But Ivory Soap is clean and sweet.

And leaves the fabric all unhurt.

partment is ready to take whatever stops
may bo necessary In cnrrjing out the pro
visions of the naval bill for the purchase of
smokeless powder. U Is not Intended to
antagonize the commercial interest ! ) engaged
In this line of manufacture , throwing the
whole burden of production on the govern
ment plants. The government has n plant
nt Indian Head which , when completed , will
turn out n maximum product of about 3,000
pounds a day. Hut this will In no way com
pete with the private manufacturers ,
The navy has now n powder known to
the profession ns pyro-ccllulosc , which is
equal to , If not better , than any smokeless
.powders used by foreign countries. Con
trary to reports , the new powder which hns
been tested by the navy under scrvlco con
ditions , Is not only not Injurious to the
guns now in use , but Is so ndjubtcd to their
requlienients that it has increased their ef
ficiency on nn average of fiOO per cent.
