They were as follows : \ew 1'rmldliiK Hlilcr * . Particular Interest centered In the selec tion of the successor * to Drs. Hodgetts and Maxflcld as presiding elders of the Norfolk nnrt Omaha districts. New elders had to bo appointed for the reason that both the old ones had served the limit of tlaie six jears.

Dr. Slsson Is a man of attractive per sonality , a pleasing speaker la the pulpit , and a successful minister. Ilia ability as an organizer has been established within the ( past neck by reason of the success attend ing the gigantic task undertaken by him In entertaining the North Nebraska conference. Rev. J. W. Jennings , D , D. , successor to Dr. Mnxfleld , IB possessed of all the quali ties that go to make up a successful presid ing elder.

Murray , former pastor of Hanscom Park church , who has been located at Fre mont , was expected by many to receive the appointment as elder of the Omaha district , Inasmuch as ho has been doing the work of Dr. Maxflold , the former presiding elder , during his recent Illness.

The Inability of a pretty Creole girl to toll which of two dusky suitors she liked the better led the aspirants for her hand and affections to fight n desperate pistol duel early Sunday morning In a stuffy llttlo room where they lived above a saloon at 1102 Capitol avonuj. Residents of the Third ward say the girl Is known OB the Belle of Now Orleans , having come from Louis iana n few Avwks ago. The rivals who fought for her are strangers , one foelns Charles Smith , a lightweight pugilist from Kansas City , and the other Is Walter Ed- hards , who came recently to look tor em- ployment. The men have been rooming together about a week and have always taken good naturodly the Jokt-s of their companions about being in love with the same girl. Saturday It was agreed that each should ask the creole which she liked better , nnd the one given the "marble heart" should cease to pay her attentions. The girl gave each the same answer ; that she cared for one as much as the other. About 3 o'clock Sunday morning when the men met In their room to retire a. lively dispute arose over the question -who was the "onlj" man. It began in a friendly way , but anger and hatred soon cropped out and Edwards' hand wandered to his pistol pocket. Smith observed the movement , and quick as a flash jumped ibchlnd a door , opened back against a wall , and , drawing his revolver , took a shot at his opponent to disarm him. Taking refuge behind a wardrobe Edwards returned the flro. For a few seconds there was a fusillade of shots that awoke the neighborhood. Policemen came running to the scene and these In the saloon below dashed up the stairs. Tee room was filled with ponder stnoKe and Edwards was found crouching behind the wardrobe palo with { right. In the con fusion Smith scurried down the hallway and Jumped from -window In tlrao to escape arrest. The fighters emptied the chambers of their weapons at each other , and the door and walnut sides of the wardrobe were perforated with bullet holes. Edwards was arrested on the charge of shooting with In tent to kill. Through his hat there was a bullet hole and across his scalp Is a small furrow plowed by one of the flying missiles. Smith has not been fonnd. ST , JOSEPHITES ARE COMING IjiirKu CxcurNlnn In Exiiccicd On October 14 , to T1nlt the Kxpnnltloii. Mr. H. F. McGanle , promoter of amuse ments for the Greater America Exposition , has returned from St. Joseph , where he spent two days arranging for a St. Joseph day at the exposition. Ho succeeded In arousing considerable Interest. Ho was given a cor dial reception by the citizens and the press , and the Indications are that St. Joseph day will prove as great a success as It was last year , when nearly -1,000 people from that city cnmo up to attend the exposition. The date has been fixed for October 14. The railways will give as low a rate at they did last year , which proved a great Inducement to people from St. Joseph and vicinity to visit Omaha. In addition the railroads will Issue coupons with the tickets admitting the holders to the exposition grounds , which Is something that has never been done before. While In St. Joseph Mr. McGnrvlo laid the whole matter before the chamber of commerce , a special meeting having been called to glvo him a hearing , and that body , after listening to Mr. Mc- Oarvle's persuasive talk , agreed to take bold of the excursion. Incidentally , Mr. McQarvle Tcels very much encouraged at the outlook for the ex position. He cays Chat there were about 15,000 people In attendance at the exposition Sunday , a largo percentage being from the country and they spent a great deal of inonoy. It was the best Sunday that the exposition has had. IT H.lPPE.tUn AT O.VI'AHIO.

"Alfreno , " champion high wire walker of the world , across Lagoon , Monday was on eventful day at the Greater America Exposition , as the big show began on Its last month nnd like a runner on the homo stretch took an extra spurt to be sure of reaching the goal In good ehnpo and llko a man In a race divested Itself of every Incumbrance possible. The Interest centered around the meeting of the executive committee In the- afternoon , for rumors had been flying about that there would lin a hot limn there nnd that a box of surprises was to bo opened. Everybody on the grounds who has teen drawing money from the exposition wan on the anx ious scat to hear If ho or she had been dropped. TUP members of the committee gathered earlier than usual and were In session for a long time. Tbo matter of retrenchment in expenses for the last month came up for discussion nnd several persons were laid oft and recommendations for further curtailment were made. The result Is that the worn of the committee Monday afternoon will mean a saving of above | 500 for this month. Several changes were made nt the hospital. Dr. Pieston was given his congo and Miss Came , who has been the matron , was nlso relieved of further duty. Mrs. Crelghton Snyder of the White Cross will take Mlsa Game's place , acting under orders from her society. She will draw no salary from the exposltlom The ofllco boy was also dis charged. All this means a saving of about $1CO in that ono department. In the Department of Publicity several changes were also made , the most notable ono being that of the Press building. Miss Dutcherwho has been hostess there , was relieved from duty nnd the building will practically bo closed. J , T. Dunlap , who has assisted Mr. Cutrlght , was discharged and Miss Kurtz , one of the stenographers , was also taken from the pay roll , making a saving In that department of about $170. In Department of Admissions Mr. Wil liams and three stenographers were let out , thus curtailing the expenses there in the nelgborhood of $200. The committee also advised Mr. Burns and Mr. Rustln to use the pruning knife In their departments and It Is stated that a number of heads will fall Into the basket within the next day or so. DollNteiU to Hcinnln. The matter of hiring a hand to make music for the last thirty days was a hard nut to crack. Some were in favor of n change , but they were unable to get a band that they were sure iwould give satisfaction and as the Bellstcdt band has been giving entire satisfaction the committee considered that a good thing in hand was better than an untried experiment and the band will accordingly bo retained until the close of the big show. In the musical department a change was made necessary by the vacation asked for by Mr. . Kelly. Mr. McGarvle , su perintendent of amusements , was given full charge of all music and will handle that In connection with his other duties. The crowd was fairly good for Monday and several new features arranged by Mr. McQarvlo were well patronized. Perhaps the most Interest was shown In the trip of the Olympla across the Lagoon between submarine mines. A beautiful model of the famed war ship had been constructed and this was drawn through the water by a cable. Captain Sorcho Impersonating the doughty Admiral Dewey , stood on the bridge of the boat nnd when It neared the center of the lake the mines wore exploded on either side. The sight was a beautiful one for the explosion sent the water Into the air 150 feet on either side of the boat and the captain and his vessel were completely hidden from view. The spectacle was re ceived with great applause. It will be re peated each afternoon and there will bo ten mines sunk nt each performance. At the sham battle In the afternoon there was a fine representation of a stage coach being attacked by a band of Indians who were repulsed by some cowboys. The coach drew up before the grandstand and took several passengers through the exciting scene. Much Interest was manifested when Rev. C. N. Dawson , pastor of the Walnut Hll Methodlat Episcopal church , volun teered to take the ride , accompanied by several members of the clergy who have , been attending the Methodist conference. The coach careened around the track at n great rate and when the attack began there were exciting times. The air was filled with shouts , the rattle of musketry and ttio smell of gunpowder. The Indians fell from their horses and everything went off llko a real fight. The concerts were well patronized In the afternoon and evening , the latter especially being a good ono , as the selections were of a high class. Mr. Bellstedt has in view eomo very good things for this month and will arrange some novel as well as high clnffl programs.

NO FINAL ACTION IS TAKEN ON EITHER Special Coiiimlttc-c IcctliiK AV111 lie llclil to Take- Further Coinmel on Cloning ( SeM'iitooutli Street Central lloiilevaril Matter * . The meeting of the city council In general committee Monday afternoon was long and full of trouble. Two very knotty problems came up for settlement , as It turned out , but only for discussion. Ono of theea was the ordinance embodying the proposed con tract between the railroads Interested In the viaducts in the south part of town and the city. city.Of the five members present , Blngham was apparently the only ono still doubtful of the justice and expediency of the contract. Ho asked how it inoured the protection of the city against the damage claims of own ers of Seventeenth street property in case the street were closed , to which City Attor ney Connell replied that whenever the loads should ask for the street the council then In ofllco might name an outside sum of damageahlch the roads would ha\o to deposit In a bank orlth the city treasurer , pending the actual determination of the damages hy appraisal. The city attorney explained that the con tract embodied In the ordinance under con sideration was Identically the snme as that submitted by the city to the roads months ago , except that It specified that If but ono road asked for the street that road nuould bear all damages. To this had been added the settlement of the disputed claims , which was conditional upon the pareago of the ordinance. Stubt said that he was In a position to assure the council that when the ordinance ) had been passed the roads would pay the $20,000 agreed upon , without waiting for the actual signing of the contract. A. J. Vlorllng nnd his brother , the latter of Chicago , again appeared to protest against tha closing of the street. They maintained that no matter what nrrango- mcntn were made for the settlement of dam- aces , the closing of the street would mean the closing ot their iron plant. They wore not prepared to say Just what the firm would do If the ordinance was passed , but they were sure that they could not opernto their present plant It they were forced to haul the products of their manufacture up the steep grade to Sixteenth etrcot or out hy way of Twentieth street. It would cost | them thousands of dollars yearly and render i them unable to do n profitable business. , They were extremely unwilling , they said , . to glvo up the Omaha plant , which had been j Improved until It was second to none In further Improvements Chicago , and were planning provements which they would certainly not make if the plant were likely to be closed. The old arguments pro and con were gone over again. After some discussion ning- amendment Inserting in ham offered an the contract the provision that upon de manding the street the roads should do- poblt with tbo city the total ot all the sworn damage claims of all the property owners afferted. City Attorney Connell and some of the councllmen nt once de clared that such a provlnlon would hlmply kill the ordinance , that the. roads could not tie up such an enormous sum of money as the overrated damages 'would come to. The Vlerllng brothers finally asked that the ordinance lie to amended as to limit the Hmo within which the roads could aek ! for the closing of the street. They would then know within a certain definite time whether to o on with the contemplated improvements or not. The suggestion did not meet with much favor. Despairing of settling the matter at one sitting the coun cil decided to take the matter up Tups Jay afernoou at 2 o'clock In the city attorney' * j | oftlco i ( Yntrnl Houleiartl In Duiiuor. 1 The report of the appraisers of property to be condemned for the Central boule vard fwas taken up , but nothing was done with it. Several property owners appeared to p rot tist against the alleged Injustice of the damages awarded them and all the councllmen know of a good many more kicks that would be mado. Itwas gener I ally agreed that U the last appraisement were rejected the boulevard nould be asleep for a long tlmo and possibly forever. Some with In of the protestanta were reasoned the hope of showing them that their other property would be benefited enough to offset the deficiency in their awards , 'but ' without much success. It was developed beyond doubt that a number of suits against the city would result from the adoption of thh report. City Attorney Connell belle\cd It would be better to have some of the ex ceptional cases settled that way rather than the tioulovard should be lost entirely. The trouble is that the total amount of the dam ages la within a few hundred dollars of $50,000 , above which It cannot go without being submitted to the voters. HANSEN SEEKING REVENGE Youiiir Man from Invra Unit u Di'xlri- to I'luee Lillian Miiilnfii Ilcliliul the ilnrH. When ho is at homo Jens P. Hansen tills the land over on an Iowa farm In the vi cinity of Da\cnport. When he visits a sure enough city ho poses an rounder and tries to take In all the sights , or nt least that Is what Jens undertook to do when ho came to Omaha a few weeks ago for the osten sible purpcso of seeing the fights nt the Greater America Exposition. Jens had some money and he had no hesitancy In telling people of the fact , lie even went so far as to exhibit his lull and now he Is sorry that he did. There was an excursion from eastern Iowa and Hansen came along. A day or two after reaching hero he concluded that he wanted to go through the slums while the Hghta were burning and not being fa miliar with the paths and trails , prevailed upon a band-paiutcd fairy , Lillian Madsen , to accompany him and show him a good time. After the price was agreed upon It did not require much urging to Induce the girl to act in the capacity of a chaperon. She pointed out the necessity of having a hack. Ilnnsen saw the point and hired ono for several hours and the couple put in the tlmio going from saloon to Ruloon , the man In the cam ) taking all kinds of llijuor while the woman took water. After \Isltlng thirty or forty places Hansen was drunk as a fool , while his companion was perfectly sober. ' \Vhllo In this condition Hanson suggested that ho was tired and was driven to a cheap hotel. The next thing that he realized was the loss of his money. Ho reported the mat ter to the police , who arrested htm and his female companion , When Hsinsen BObuied up ho charged the girl with robbery , hence the caeo which Is now on trial In the crim inal section of the district court before Judge linker. HllHtlllVllIltN DlUllllKI'N , In Judge Slabaugh's court the case of Charles I ) . Rustln against the Standard Life and Accident Insurance company Is on trial , the plaintiff seeking to recover damages In the sum of ? 100 , together with lntcre.it nnd costs. Some fl\u or elx years ago Courtland Heach was running a pleasure rwort , and a strong man who toynl with great wolghts and dumb bells was ono of the star fea- turct ) .
