for the repaying under this contract may

that there Is no possible loopholo for

Mayor' k'uMIi Xot lnesHfnel
I In discussing a motion to sustain tho veto
i Councilman Hascall said that ho thought
' that tho mayor was in good faith, but was
unduly alarmed. Ho considered that thcro
I wern no sufficient grounds on which to sus
tain tho veto, and that the contract would
hn safe even If one or two names wero
i wrong. The Instance referred to was ono In
which a man nnd his wlfo were unable to
wrlto, and their daughter had signed for
them. Mr. Hascall admitted that this was a
mistake, as the, propor procedure would havo
been for them to mako their respective
marks, but ho held that such minor Items
should not be avowed to stop all tho con
struction and repairing work now In hand
It would bo dangerous nnd probably ox-

and thn railway right-of-way cutting It
Just south of Jackson street on the north
was set asldo as a location for the erection
of a suitable and permanent dog pound.
Thn resolution to this effect was Intro
duced by Mr. Hascall in behalf of the No
braska Humano society, which was repro
Bentd at tho meeting by Alfred Millard
Father John Williams and 11. S. Mann. Tho
building of tho pound will bo begun at once.
na tho society nlready has for this purposo
$2,000 which tho council votod on September
17 last.
Mr, Millard said that the sum would be
mple. Tho tract gtvon Is 100 feet wide
nrt shout 200 feot long. Tho plan la to
havo a one-story brick house nt tho Jones
etr'eet end and a large yard behind, with
comfortable quarters for hundreds of dogs,
horses and cattle , A keeper will be con
stantly on duty at the house.
It Is nrobabU) that a now method of kill
ing thn dogs will bo adopted. At present
they nro drowned. Electrocution and tho
administering of gas are being discussed.
The mast humane plan within the rango of
feasibility will bo put to use. The society
'is willing to leave sidewalk space along

Mayor Moorcs submitted a communica

the contract for tho repaying on Twenty
second street, between Halt Howard street
and St. Mary's avenue. The names of three
parties, ho said, representing 200 feet of
frontage, wcro not signed, and upon discov
ering this last Friday ho had stopped tho
work, as no legal tax on that frontage
would bo posslhlo and tho city would be
held liable for tho tax. He asked the coun
cil to support him In the matter by In
structing tho noard of Public Works to
notify tho contractors not to proceed fur
ther with tho repavlng. Tho matter was re
ferred to tho Judiciary committee.

Cornish on the I'nrks,
"Omaha's Park System" was the toast of
K. J. Cotnlsh of the city park commission
Mr. Cornish humorously told of getting on
the park board In order to get a place to
speed his horses. Tho horses all went
wrong, but In the work on the board, he
tald, ho had developed Into a "park crank."
unfortunately the park commissioners do
not tome Into contact with the business
men except when tho annual tax lovy Is
made, when tho business men show an
Ignorance of park affairs which Is lament
able. As tho Improvements nro made from
taxes raid by the citizens It Is meto that all
should know what Is being done. No poll
tlclan has over attempted to make the park
board a political body. In this they lmvc
proved tnelr public spirit. "I look upon
parks largely as an advertising scheme,
ho said. They attract attention. Then
there Is tho educational feature, which Is
greater,"
He prophesied that In a few years Omaha
will bo forced to acquire Cut-Off lako as
public resort; that between Omaha and
South Omaha a boulevard will bo cstab
llshcd to Join tho boulevard system already
contemplated. The Missouri river has betu
condemned, but the river front should bo
niado an Integral part nf tho park system.
On thr (atispel nf Commerce.
Tho last toast was "Tho Gospel of Com
merce," to which Habbl Simon 'cspondod
Tho speaker said: "Mercury, tho god o
commerce, was tho messenger of tho gods
With Apollo ho was the lnsplrer of music
Mercury represents power, prosperity and
peace. Commerce was born in the mornlns
of the world and has ever slnco had It
place. Until 100 years ago commerce was
not permitted a place with tho arts and
sciences. Tho philosopher said (hat tho
merchant lived by Inking prollts from tho
producers. Today when we say that com
menu- must bo based on honesty men say 'j
Is Sunday school talk, but I tell you-that
the ctllcs of commerce arc as real as tho
ethics of religion. When you have Insisted
uprn this until It Is received by all then
both commerce' and religion will bo recog
nized as equal civilizing factors. Commerce
distributes Idoas as well aB Ivories. Com
morro I ono of the tremendous forces of
soclecy. At tho command of commerce the
mountain wns tunneled, the desert bloomed
and the waste places became: productive.
Commerce stands as Ihc safeguard of pence.
Tho nations which arc united iri business
becomo friends nnd nlllcs. America is the
Mercury among tho nations.
"Omaha has a favored pluco In America's
busliicss world. Tp the north, to tho south,
'to tho cost nnd to the west the peoplo come.
It they pass us by, wo can call them In,
Omaha must be more than a geographical
center. It must be a commercial center.
Wo want men who nre alive, who are alert,
who can bring others hero. Natural re
sources we have, but we want human resources."

RELIEF TO CITY'S EXPENSE ACCOUNT
Will tin Additional Lights In TtnstncHS
nml Residence Sections After
Itnltrnnd Comply With
Order of Connell.
From present Indications it appears that
the city officials arc Insisting upon tho ob
servance of a certain section or the city
charter by compelling tho railroads to main
tain electric lights at certain crossings
Not long ago a resolution and nn ordinance
wcro passed by tho council directing tho
Uurllngton road to erect and maintain an
electric arc light at Th'irty-seventh and Ij
streets. This order has been compiled with
by tho railroad company and tho light Is
now kept burning nt this crossing without
expense to the city.
As n precedent has been set, tho council
has now ordered the Rock Island road to
malntnln lights nt Madison and Washington
streets, Other needed lights are to bo or
dered In soon at crossings whero protection
Is needed.
A member of the council stated yesterday
that when tho railroads located tho lights
ordered the city would bo relieved of con
sldernblo exponse and the residence portion
of the city would be benefited. Ab fast
as tho railroads comply with tho resolutions
of the council and put In lights along tho
trncks, additional lights In tho business nnd
residence portions of tho city will bo or
dered In.
This question of lights at crossings has
caused an Immense amount of trouble to tho
city authorities In past years, but now when
the provisions of tho charter nro so explicit
thero seems no way for the railroads to got
out of complying with orders from tho
council.
Naturally city officials are elated over the
prospect of getting out of paying for lights
which have so long been maintained at rail
road crossings.
Hold hunnrcta Over.
Glover and McNameo wero given a pre
liminary hearing In the pollco court yester
day on tho charge of robbing John Andrews
of $30 a few nights ago. Assistant County
Attorney Thomas conducted the examina
tion for tho Btate. When Andrews wa
placed on tho stand It was necessary
to secure tho services of an interpreter,
as ho Is not conversant, with tho English
language. Andrews testified positively that
Gloycr nnd McNaince wore tho, men who
aroused him out of his sleep Friday night
last nnd begged for a few matches. When
he nroso nnd opened the door In order to
comply with the request he says he was as
saulted and robbod. His description of tho
alleged robbers wns so explicit that thcro
was no doubt In the mind of rolleo Judgo
King that tho men before him should bo
held for a further examination and he
thereupon fixed the bonds at 800 each. As
neither Glover or McNameo con furnish
bonds In this amount they will be taken
to the county Jail to await a bearing in
tho district court.

FARMINGTON. Conn., Oct. 22. Presi
dent Roosevelt's day lu Farmlngton proved
oulto a suitable nddltlon to tho historic
annals of this ordlnnrlly quiet old town.
Tho Intention of tho president's sister,
Mrs. Cowlus, to make tho occasion a prlvato
affair was considerably ovcrcomo by tho
anxiety of tho peoplo to see tho president
nnd to grasp his hand. Throughout tho
morning thero was no particular demon
stration, but nt midday tho turnout of the
townspeople, added to tho Influx of snv-
eral hundred from Hartford and adjoining
towns, enlarged tho throng to proportions
much beyond that to which Fannlngton la
accustomed.
Tho absenco of a publlcly-nnnounced
program gave an clement of uncertainty
to tho day. Everybody on tho stroot was
Inquiring when nnd whero tho president
could bo seen, but thn maJs of people
went away, satisfied, for tho president mado
.threo dashes through tho town. In tho
last of tbcsp ho rode out In a carriage, Just
at tho conclusion of tho ceremony of
planting a McKlnlcy memorial oak. Men
and women, youths nnd maids pushed and
struggled to touch tho president's hands
as ho leaned far out of tho carriage, en
deavoring to reach as many ns possible
without delaying a more formal receptlou
which awaited him nt his rl-fter'ft homo.
Tho president's day was filled with en-
Joynblo rides, walks and receptions. It
was concluded this evening with n dinner
given nt tho homo of Commander and Mrs.
Cowles. Among tho guests nt tho dinner
wero the president nnd his daughter, Miss
Alice; Sccrctnry Cortclyou, Assistant (sec
retary Barnes, United States Senators
Hawlcy and Plntt and their wives aud
Governor Gcorgo P. McLean,
MrKlnley (Ink IManti-d.
Botween his two rides the president nnd a
few friends took n lone tramn to Pinnacle
mountnlu. An intoroating incident of tho'
morning drive wns the greeting of 150
school children attired In whlto, waving
Harts nt tho president ns bo rodo by. Tho
afternoon was chiefly devoted to receptions,
first to the young women of tho Porter
hchoril, and' second to tho guests Invited by
Mrs. Cowles to meet her brother. Tho two
Connecticut senntors and their wives as
sisted In receiving.
One of the features 'of tho day wan the
planting of tho McKlnlcy oak on tho publlo
green, opposite the historic Elm Tree Inn.
President Roosevelt declined to lake part In
this on the ground that It would not be lu
good taste to do so nn this occasion after
having declined other similar Invitations.
Governor McLean and Mayor Alexander
Harbison of Hartford wero tho principal
speakers nt the oxerclsos.
The town was well policed by deputy
sheriffs' nnd constables, tho customary
warning having been Bent out In advnnco
by the chief of pollco at Washington. Tho
secret service men followed tho presidents
pnrty aB far as possible, but wcro unablo to
keep track of the rather rapid changes. Tho
president will leave Farmlngton at, 8:10 a.

no complaint to mako about tho army, but
he did not proposo to re-enllst, as ho pre

ouo nt Fifteenth and Berry, one at Twenty-

fourth nnd W streets and two at Twonty-

physician to look after contagious and In
fectious diseases is apparent and it is ex
pected that tho council will soon take action
on tho naming of n permanent board of
health and tho appointment of a city physi
cian.
