THE O rAHA DATLY BEE : -WEDNESDAY , APGrfST 9 , 1899. REFUSES TO OBEY COUNCIL Board of Public Works Unwilling to Give Up Its Functions. RESISTS DIVISION OF THE GENERAL FUND Clinlrinnn of ( lie Ilnnnl Sny * Hint Orilcrn of the Council In Vlo- Intlon of HIP Charter Will Not lie Heeded. t A difference arose at Tu6sday nlght'a mectlns of the city council between that body and the Hoard of Public Works over the disposition of money In the general fund nnd the wllllnsness of the board to cany out the Instructions' the council. The matter wag hot settled and promises to como up again In the future. The council works under a system of allotlng to each ward a ccrt-ln portion of the sum set aside at the beginning of the year for street Improvements and whenever any member asks for somcthlnc to be paid out of his allotment the council as a matter of fact votes for It. Tuesday night Mercer introduced a resolution ordering the location of an arc llsht on West Dodcc street and the payment therefor for the remainder of the current year out of the Ninth ward Allotment. There was some discussion over the rlcht of the council to divert the money from the allotments to what would be virtually the lighting fund nnd the reso lution failed to pass. i.Mcrccr then said that ho bad brought the matter up at the request of the chairman of the Hoard ot Public Works , as that official had said that hereafter the board would not carry out Instructions which Involved the expenditure of the allotments for anything but street improvements. City Engineer Rosewater , chairman of the ( board , said that such was the case and that he did not think In the first place that the allotments were legal. The effect of them was to do away w'llh the functions of tbo board and vest them In each councilman for his own ward. This was contrary to the provisions of the charter. Mercer then put the question whether the board would refuse to perform work or dered by the council when the necessary funds were iprovlded. Mr. Rosowatcr replied that that depended entirely upon the nature of the work ordered and the source from which the funds wore supplied. Ho was opposed to the allotment system 'because ' It was wasteful and not In accordance with the best interests ot the city at large. It tied up the hands of the board In emergency work and deprived It of the necessary funds r for that work. The councllmen were elected nt largo and not from wards and they could not legally enter Into any agreement to divide the city's funds , which were Intended to bo expended for the benefit of the city 1 as a whole , among the wards. If the coun cil did so , the board was not bound to obey its instructions. Stuht said that the allotment system had proved a good thing , but the city engineer replied that It could not bo compared to the system used in the largo cities of Europe , whore the city was divided into districts and a superintendent placed in charge of each , who was not dependent on political favor for his position. Veto of the Mayor. Mayor Mdorcs returned -with his veto the resolution authorizing the lighting of the Btroets for the Ak-Sar-Ben parade at a cost of $2,500 , the bill to be paid when funds were available. He stated his reasons in part as follows : A prospective deficit of at least $10.000 confronts the city in the lighting fund and yet the council refuses to take any action toward cutting down the expenses in that fund. When the levy was passed over my Jfpto , memjiers at th < H council'o 'ho voted "for It assured ithtTclty engineer and the city physician that they realized that the 'funds ' for their departments wore Inadequate , but that they would replenish these from the general fund. When , on account ot the low levy for the flro fund , the Board of Fire nnd Police Commissioners was compelled to close the Harnoy street engine house and discharge the men on duty there , the coun cil pledged Itself to transfer $7GOO from the general fund to the fire fund In order that the Hamey street company might bo re- employed. Acting upon that suggestion nnd promise , the Board of Fire and Police Com missioners opened the engine house nnd re- employed the 'men dlscharegd , but no trans fer of the promised $7,500 has been made. All of those outstanding promises are as yet unfulfilled and cannot be fulfilled , elncc all the available money In the general fund is I regard the Ak-Sar-Ben parades ns well nigh indispensable to the prosperity of Omaha , nnd I believe that the city can well afford to spend $2.000 or double that amount yearly In making them a success. I did my best when the 1899 tax levy was made to provide funds for this purpose , but my _ veto of that levy -was overrlden. The available funds of the city are now exhausted and for that reason It Is impossible to set aside J2.GOO for these parades. I regret the ne cessity of this action , but any other course would bo Illegal and would bo lacking in good faith. I therefore veto the resolution. 3 , Mayor. Blngham eald too wished to correct one statement of the mayor's. The promise to transfer $7,600 Into the flro fund had "been jnado on condition that the money was first collected from the railroads on the claims for viaduct and subway7 lighting. The nioney bad never been collected. Ho was aware that the council could not pass the resolution etrlctly accordluR to low , tout ho believed the people and all the Interests of the city would sustain the action. Lobeck eald that the council had at first fixed the prospective needs of the flre de partment at $125,000 , but that the mayor had advised that the amount be cut 5 per cent. On his'statement that the department could Bland , lt the cut bad been made. By a unanimous vote the veto was not sus tained. The mayor vetoed a resolution rebating NONE SO POPULAR. It Is Daily Gaining Favor in Omaha. RcsultH Reported From People Who Have Given a Fair Trial to the Remedy. ' the scientific kidney Morrow's Kld-ne-olds , remedy and backache cure , la dally gaining favor In Omaha. No medicine has ever been eold In this city for Kidney ailments , back ache , nervousness , ulceplereneua and general debility that has gained such popular favor BS Morrow's Kld-ne-olds , We glvo > ou the experience of Mrs. U. M. Garner , of S999 Oak Street , who says ; "I have suffered with kidney backache for tbo past two year ? . I had such severe pains In my back that I could bcarcely get any sleep at night. I also suffered wth | a dull heavy beadacho. Hearing about Morrow's Kid- no-olds I decided to try them , I took them according to directions and I was wonderful ly relieved , I will continue to take Kld-ne- olds , for I know they will effect a complete euro.

Ha declared that the action showed partiality , was Illegal and Pet a dangerous precedent. The resolution was pawed over the veto by n vote of 7 to 1 , on the ground , as given by members , that the tax could not bo collected anyhow , and If a part of It were remitted the owner would be able to hold It. The mayor's veto of a resolution authoriz ing the grading of an alley adjoining the property of S. I. Jeter nt a cost of not moro than $200 , In settlement of Jeter's claim for damagca , was overruled , The mayor said that the settlement was undoubtedly to bo desired , but there was no money for the purpose. Upon the request of the city treasurer , a portion of the lntcre.it on the taxes of the Omaha Drldgo and Terminal company , amounting to about $34 , wns remitted , The amount represents the Interest which ac crued while the money to pay the taxes was In the county court. In the matter of the opening of Twenty- sixth street , a resolution was Introduced canceling nil the aisejaemcnU against the property of O. H. Harr. City Attorney Cou ncil reported recommending the passage of the resolution for the reason that $300 had been assessed against Mr. Harr for the cost of opening the street and $182 for tbo cost ' of grading It , while grading damages i amounting to $200 had been allowed him | by the appraisers. As the supreme court j i had held that property could not bo both j benefited nnd damaged , the city attorney I believed that the offer of Mr. Harr to re linquish his damages on the canceling of the assessments wns a very fair one. City Comptroller Westberg demanded to know what ho should do when the warrants which had been drawn agnlnst the assess ments came In for payment. There would bo no money to pay them. Mr. Connell replied that the courts would order the assessment canceled nnd the coun cil might as well do It. The comptroller thought that In that case the money would bo taken out of the judgment fund , but the attorney said It would not. Mr. Weatberg then declared thnt If the resolution was passed Instructing the comp troller to cancel the assessments It would never be carried out. Similar cases had arisen before and he had refused to cancel the assessments. The resolution wns then referred to the finance committee. ItcpnvliiR of Farmim Street. The repavlng of Parnam street from Ninth to Fifteenth street received a check In the report of the city engineer that the petition did not bear a majority of the feet - frontage - ago signatures. The petition would have been sufficient had the signatures of cer tain corporations been accompanied by proofr of the action of the dlrectora au- ttiorl/.lng tlura. The city attorney hold ? , however , that the repaying cannot ba done under the law while the present paving Is good. The report of the city attorney , recom mending that tbo city do not dispose ot the portions of Nineteenth and Webster streets adjoining the property of W. N. Dorward to him , was adopted. The veto by the mayor of a resolution conveying to Metz Bros , a portion of LCQ.V- enworth street In return for another piece of property was sustained , as It had been found that there was a mistake in the de scription of the property. A resolution drawn up by the city attorney and satisfac tory to Mctz Bros , was passed. City Trennnry Balance * .

Godfrey's British band at the Grand Plaza , As the exposition officials remained awakn Monday night and listened to the downpour ot rain that now and then took on all the characteristics of a waterspout , they pre dicted serious damazo to the walls of the lagoon at the grounds ) , the parking upon the several tracts of land , the buildings and the grounds generally. Consequently they wcru not surprised yesterday morning when the } learned that a section ot thu south wall of the lagoon , directly south of the Colonial building , had broken loose and slid Into the water. Nor were they surprised when they learned that all the steep banks and ter races on the bluff tract had been furrowed and cut up 'by ' the water that for hours rushed along the ground with the speed of a mill race. Yesterday morning there were Indications that the storm clouds that had been hangIng - Ing over the city since Sunday and every now and then spilling out their contents * ere to break away and bring fair weather In their wake. The break came , and during the forenoon the sun shone out bright and hot , drying up the mud , thus making It possible for pedestrians to move about the grounds. It was then the exposition ofll- clals commenced to make an Inventory of the storm damage , and they were not long In discovering that twenty-five feet of the south wall of the lagoon had caved In , that the bluff and the north tracts wore cut up Into gullies and that the roofs of the build ings had been leaking llko sieves. Men were at once put to work repairing the dam ages , but right hero another difficulty was experienced. Ono hundred men -were want ed and that many reported , but when they found that the wages were but 15 cents per hour , fully seventy-live of them returned to their homes , refusing to work for less than 20 cents per hour. Those who remained put In part of the day. but .a number quit during the afternoon , and It is more than likely that In order to get men sufficient to do the -work within n reasonable length of tlmo an advance will have to too ordered. While the exposition people suffered from flood damages , there were others. The Mid way concessionaires came In for a share of the wetting , as there was hardly a building nlong the street that did not leak. In some where there were pictures , tapestry and goods kept for sale , the damage was consid erable. In one cr two Instances the back water from the street flooded the apart ments to the death of several Inches , de stroying floor brlc-arbrac and floor orna ments. As a result of the heavy rain the location of the Indians te again In the air. It had been determined to locate them on the Blutv tract , Just south of the Horticultural build ing , but now It is possible that they may re main where they are , on the vacant space south of the Transportation building. When the storm broke Monday night they wore In their tepees , which furnished no more pro tection than If they had been constructed of ordinary cotton cloth. Within flvo minutes all the members of the part > were drenched to tJbe ekln. Their bedding was thoroughly soaked and they presented a eorry sight as they waded through the water In going the short distance from the camp to the Trans portation building. The Indians themselves have looked over the two 'locations and ex press ft preference for the place where they are now camped. They say that If they should be moved to the Bluff tract and an other such a storm should come on many of them would bo drowned before they could reach a place of shelter. SCENES ALO.\J TUB MIDWAY. Fair Weather mill DrlKlit Siiiinlilnc Receive * a Ol a Welcome. When the sun shone out 'bright ' and warm yesterday morning the spirits of the Midway concessionaires went up like a rocket. They brushed up their apartments and again got ready to do business. During the day they did fairly well and when the crowds came at night they made money. Take tie fat man , Henri Cannon , for Instance. Whllo ho tips the 'beam ' at nearly 700 ipounds. when he saw the sun shining he danced about like a supple schoolboy and reveled In delight at the sight of the familiar old face. ( At the Streets of Cairo , LaBello Izlaha , a young woman from Algeria , arrived and signed for a nine weeks' season In the thea ter. She is very ( beautiful and is said to > be ono of the most accomplished dancers In the streets. Her dance is the Algerian war dance and Is full of action , none of which is Immodest. ( Another attraction at the Streets of Cairo Is Phillip Sapongl , a photographer. Ho came from Egypt and is highly educated , being able to speak eleven different lan guages. ( Ho has a system of photography that is now to this country. In daylight the picture has a bright slate color , but when seen at night or In the dark the object photographed becomes a bright bluish tint. In Hagenback's the time over which the stormy weather extended was devoted to painting and whitewashing1 the cells In which the animals are kept. When seen yesterday they looked as fresh and bright as though Just put in use. In this show a number of new animals have arrived within the past few days , including a pair of lions , several bears and a troupe of trained dogs. Darkness and Dawn was ono of the shows that did .business during the continued spell at wet weather. ( Most of the tlmo the place did considerable business and yesterday after the weather changed It handled n number ot Immense crowds. The change in weather made St. Potter feel In his old spirits again and even made Satan bettor humored. Recently some beautiful electrical effects have been placed In the Moorish palace , adding much to the show. The Passion play when seen by electric light is more attrac tive than ever and is becoming ono of the big drawing cards of the Midway , In the building where the Deep Sea Div ing concession Is shown , filtered water as clear as crystal has been placed In the tank and every movement roado by Prof , or Mrs. Sorcho can be seen while they work in the miniature sea. The feature ot this show is the raising of the vessel and the methods employed In bringing 'bodies and other things from the bottom of the pond of water by the divers. ' 'The Midway , " a bright and newsy eight page weekly magazine , has made Its appear ance on the Midway. It is filled with inter esting half-tone pictures and well written news notes of people and scenes on the Midway , is well printed on enameled paper , and is edited by John Rlley. Xo Iii\v llnlcx , No IIIK CVou-iU. Superintendent Outright of the Depart ment of Publicity has returned from Sioux City , whither he went to do a little expo sition booming among the residents nnJ business men of the Corn Palace clly , There ho says ho found a strong exposition senti ment. people being anxious to come , but he- could do nothing , owing to the railroad rates that prevail. If the roads running b < j- twccn Omaha and Sioux City will make a reasonably low rate , Mr. Outright is of the opinion that thousands of people from Sioux City and vicinity will visit the exposition.

The dance < waa given In the Transportation building , where those Indians who did not participate squatted down , forming a circle , Inside of which a couple of dozen of the men wont through the strange evolutions. The music was pounded out ot an antiquated drum and was as devoid ot melody as the strains of a horeo fiddle. The movements of the dancers wore wild and wlerd , but they pleased those iwho witnessed them. DniTHon County Comoo In. The latest county to secure space in the Agricultural building on which to make an exhibit Is Dawson. Yesterday morning Hon. J. H.

We have raised the big gest crop in the hlstoryot. the county and will have no difficulty In making a most creditable showing. " ninny Strim < ' ill It was an off day at the exposition , be cause there were no features billed , but not withstanding this the attendance was much above the normal. During the forenoon there was a. fair-sized crowd upon the grounds and at night it was swelled .by the arrival of many from the city. The ono thing that was noticeable was the number of strangers who visited the grounds. They were more nu merous than at any tlmo since the first few days of the show. They all admired tbo grounds and apparently enjoyed themselves. Temple of I'nlmlntry. Dr. Carl Louis Perln's famous' Temple of Palmistry Is ono of the first places sought for by nearly all visitors on the grounds. Dr. Perln , the famous palmist In charge , has a reputation that Is worldwide and many of the visitors who como to see him are strangers from foreign lands.
