of llfo In Nebraska during tho llrst twelve
years of statehood (1807-1879), by Oren P.
Morton of Klngwood. V. Va. Tho story
tells how, ii family from tho east happened
to go west. ' It tells of their journey of
800 miles In a ''pralrlo schooner" In search
of government land. It tijlls of different
kinds of peoplo who settled around them,
tho stylo of farming thoy had to adopt and
tho makeshifts they resorted to for homes,
churches and school houses. In particular,
It follows the careers of tho older boys of
tho household until they had set up lu
life for themselves. In this book tho
reader may follow tho transformation of
tho pralrlo from a wild, untamed expanso
Into a well-settled community. Tho reader
becomes, as It were, a member of a typi
cal family of homestenders and Is thus
enabled to gain a most vivid Idea of pioneer

Tho immediate fato ot old Port Omaha

as passed by tho house provision was made
for schools ot Instruction to bo cstauusncu
In four different parts of tho country, north,

These schools wero to be maintained for

lations could avail themselves of tho schools
of Instruction. Competent persons wero iu

to bo maintained at all times.
Locution In Uooil.
It was the hope of army otficers of this
department that when tho bill became a
law tho president would designate old Port
Omaha as the sllo for ono of the schools,
tho land being tho property of tho govern
ment nnd tho buildings needing but slight
alterations to fit them for the purpose. It
Is understood nt headquarters that tho sen
ate has repealed the provisions of section
3" and tho hope of securing tho school for
Omaha Is correspondingly dimmed. One ot
tho oftlicrs speaking of tho matter yester
day said:
"It seems to mo that tho citizens of
Omaha should Interest themselves lu this
matter. If the schools aro ordered to bc
established Omaha can maku a i.howlng
sufllcont to obtain one. Situated as It Is
geographically, no other city can compete
with It In enso of access. Tho gavcrnmoul
property nt tho old fort Is Ideal for tho pur
pose and tho location of the school at the
headquarters of tho department would al
most como as a matter of course. If It Is
nosslble to have this provision retained lu
tho bill Omaha should do it."

City Physician Italph was notified. Ho said
he liad no authority to treat the patient, so
tho facts wero laid before Mel Hocrnur,
clerk of tho board of county commissioners,
who mado an attempt to communicate with
tho county physician, but failed to find him.
"I am positive, however," said Mr. Hoer-
ner. "that the county physician will not
take charge of the case, as It Is clearly a
ciibo In which the city has sole Jurisdiction.
The city nets In all emergency cases, such
as this seems to bc, and the county Inter
ests Itself onlv In cases wherein tho patient
has somo claim upon tho county by reason
of lone residence."
"This Is clearly n county case," said Dr.
Ralph, "because tho patient has lived hero
for over twenty years, Tho city would
havo no right to meddle In such n matter as
this."
Meanwhile, In a little houso down nt
Second and William streets, the sufferer
MR. CONNELL'S PLAIN SPEECH
llr l'nM Ills Uiivnrnlnhrit llmpct'tH to
Mr, PoiiIcton'n Pnvlnpr
Iilrn-i.
"The bill which W. S. Popplclon has pro
pared for tho regulation of paving and re-
paving In Omaha Is misnamed. I would
HUggebt that tho tltlo of It bo changed so
It will read as follows: 'A Hill to Encour
age Attorneys to Plght Special Assess
meuts nnd to Put a Premium Upon rcr
Jury, Porgcry and Dishonesty,' " said City
Attorney Connell, In discussing the meeting
which was held Monday night in the Plrst
National bank for the purpose of opposing
tho paving bill which Mr. Council prepared
and had Introduced In the legislature by
Iteprerontatlvn Ilurcsh.
Mr. Connell's bill puts repavlng and pav
Ing on the same basis. It docs away with
petitions and Imposes Iho responsibility on
tho council and the mayor. After worl;
has been ordered by tho council, Mr. Con
ncll would allow thirty days for protests
and In caso a majority of tho .Interested
taxpayers objocts, tho work cannot be done.
Petitions havo caused much litigation In
Omaha and there nro so many ways of in
validating them that the city attorney is
anxious to avoid further complications of
thU sort.
"Under tho bill which Mr. Poppleiou would
havo enacted," continued Mr. Connell, "pav
ing and repavlng would both bo done under
thn petition system. Tho result would bo
that our paving taxes would get Into the
same tangle wo now have on repavlng.
Such a measuro would mako matters worse.
It would double, tho amount of litigation
it is possinie to prove tnai tncro aro
defects in nearly all petitions and the
sooner Omaha does away with them the
better It will be for tbo city's finances.'
Among the. men who met to protest
against Mr. Connell's bill were: Herman
Kountxe, H. W Yates, P, K. Her, Euclid
Martin, E. M. Andrceacn, W. 8. Poppleton,
