VETO STREET ENCROACHMENTS
.Mnr Jennings Will -o Consent to
GMIiiu An CID's
Itlghts.
Mnyor Jennings v 111 veto the resolutions
adopted hy the clt council Monday night,
granting Co.imvl Cha.les K. Hannan nliii
IntU.H of the piib.lJ street cn Broadway
and the same nmomit on Ncrfh Main stieni.
and (1. F. Hamilton n triangular space o.i
Broadway, twelve by fifty-two Inches. Tho
mayor conolders that a resolution of Hits
character has tho snmo force ns an or.ll
nnnco and that his veto will nullify ll mi
ll. is passed over his head hy two-third
of the aldermen.
In signifying tils Intention to veto thn
resolutions, Mayor Jcnn,uga yesterday raid
that while bo was not opposed to granting
Colonel Hannan nnd bis associates permis
sion to extend the swell front of their
building at the northwest curner of Broad
way and Main street nine Inches bnyond tho
property line, ho would not for one moment
ntquleeeo in Riving away the public prop
erty. He would not bo willing to vacate
ihe property In favor of Hnnnhn or anyone
clsa, hut Is willing they should make the
Improvements contemplated provided tho
city's rights nre properly gtinrdcd. "Tho
cliy's rights to the street must bo pro
si rved." ho snld, "and I will not attach mv
idsnnlure to any document, whether It ho
u resolution or nn ordinance, thai gives
nway nny portion of Ihe city ptoperty. So
long as tho city's fights to tho street nro
preserved. I uni willing that Hannan or
anyone dsn should have the right to build
out Into thq street. I will certainly voto
thn resolut'ons adopted Monday night." .
While pSHtlbly there Is no oblcctlon to
G. F. Hnmllton occupying thn smnll spv:
R.-antcd him by the resolution Monday
night, ns ll simply irienns extending his
ho-.v window a fow Inchc.i, there Is much
opposition to Hnnnnn's being permitted to
extend his swell front Into the public
street. Adjoining property owners protest
and It h said that P. C. DeVol and the
Commercial National b?nk will take the
matter Into the courts hefcre they permit
Colonel Ununnn to occupy any portion of
the public, thoroughfare.
Thoso who hro protesting against Han
nan's being given any more of the public
thoroughfurca call attention to the fact that
tho nreaway at tho Flrnt Xatlomil hank oc
cupier) 3evoral feet of tho sidewalk on a
street which Ii otie of tho most traveled
In tho city, and that the steps to tho bank
Itself project several foot out on the side
walk on Broadway. Tho records of tho cltv
council do not show that Hannan over
obtained permission from the cltv council
to place these steps out on tho sidewalk.
About a year ago the Omaha Browing
company, which bought the old Xonpercll
building nt Scott street and Broadwav.
neked permission to extend its building on
Scott street twenty-four Inches nnd In re
turn promised to put up a structure that
would be a credit to the city. This re
quest was turned down, although Alderman
Hammer, who voted ngalnit It. had been
lnrtriimental in securing from tho city tho
privilege to extend tho ontrancs v of the
Odd Fellowi,' building on Broadway over
th-ea feet into tto pnullc sidewalk. Tho
cV.cnslon of this entrnnc? way is a great
Inrouvenlene to the public, ns the side
walk Is exceptloinlly narrow at this point
.nnd It was only a fow months ago that
Aldtrman Hammer led a movement to In
crenre tho wld'h of sidewalk by extending
It Into the street.
The general snulmcnt is not agnlnst fhe
city council's granting theso privileges such
nr given to Hannan, If It would bo con
sistent nnd not, turn down one w'hllo giving
tho other what ho asked. Tha general feel
ing Is that If Hnnnnn 14 allowed to extend
Ms building nt Broadway ,and Main street
the Oniaha Brewing company should hnvo
tho sumo privilege at S:ott Mreet nnd
Breodvay, which Is n far less Important
public thoroughfare.

WASHINGTON, Spf. 17. The weather
bureau in ita summary of weathor crop
conditions for tho weejc ended . September
16 says: Heavy' rains havo proved unfa
vorable In tho central nnd west gulf states,
In portions of the Ohio vnlley and Tennes
see and In the upper Missouri vnlley, while
crops havo suffered from drouth In the
South Atlantic coast districts. East of the
Rocky mountains the tcmpernturo condi
tions have been favorable except in the
upper Mlssruri valley, where It has been
too cool nnd frosts wero of quite general
occurrence In somo Instances. Generally
favornblo conditions prevailed In tho Pa
cific coast states.
Cool, wot weather has checked tho ma
turing of corn In Nebraska nnd South
Dakota, hut In the central anT eastern dis
tricts of tho corn belt the crop Is prac
tically safe from frosts nnd cutting Is well
advanced. .
Excessive rains In thn central and west
era portions of the cotton belt have caused
serious injury to cotton und interferred
with picking. Central und eastern Texas
and portions nt Arkansas, Louisiana and
Mississippi havo received from two to ten
Inches of rnln. Over tho eastern half of
the cotton belt the rainfall has been mod
erate or very light, tho coast districts re
ceiving no appreciable amount; tho staple
has opened freshly and picking hns pro
gressed rapidly. Reports of rust nnd
shedding continue from tho central und
eastern districts.
Except in Kentucky, where henvy rains'
havo Interforcd with tho cutting of to
bacco, this crop Is largely secured and the
reports respecting it are gunerally favor
able. All reports, excepting thoso from Kan
sas, indicate an exceptionally light apple
crop and high winds of tho past week havo
lessened the already unpromising prospects
In Illinois and Indiana. In Kansas an im
provement In the condition of apples is re
ported, The abundant rains of tho past week
have put tho soli In oxcollent condition for
plowing Bnd this work Imh been rapidly
pushed, although retarded by excessive
moisture in some districts.

effectually breaking the protracted drouth.
The heaviest amounts are reported In the
northwest and west central districts, but
all districts received sufllclcnt rainfall to
revive pastures, benefit lato potatoes and
put the soil In good condition for plowing
and fall seeding. Corn harvesting oper
ations huve been retarded by showery
weather, but the work is being pushed us
rapidly as possible in all sections and n
very large amount of forago of tho best
quality will bo secured In tho cornfields.
Tho bulk of the crop is now beyond dan
ger of Injury by frost and practically all
of It will be well matured with a few
more days of warm and dry weather. Tho
crop as a wholo is, likely to exceed any
official estimate yet put forth for this state.
Tho pastures are much benefited and tho
