TAXPAYERS DEMAND PAVING
Urge City Otincil to Make Co'ntricttr Pay
for Hilar,
ACTION DEFERRED TILL WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Ordinance Is 1'nssrd Granting I'rt(cf
Street to Omiilin Brewing Com
liany Succlal Police fur
Election Day,
That tho property owners on Harrison
street are not In favor of any further de
lay In the paving of that thoroughfare was
fully demonstrated to the aldermen at tho
meeting of the city council Monday night.
It was urged by them that If Contractor
Wlckham did not begin on tho work as or
dered by tho council ho bo made to pay
the penalty as nrovided In his contract.
It was admitted by the property owners
that It was doubtful If sufficient brick
sultablo for the paving could bo obtained
from tho local yards at this time, but this
was a condition which affected the con
tractor and not them. The contract with
Wlckham, tbey pointed out, required that
the paving should have been completed by
tho first of the present year, but that the
tlmo had been extended by tho council to
September 1. The latter dato had passed
and no effort had been made, they said,
by Wlckham to begin tho work. Thoy said
they wanted tho strcot paved and If Wlck
ham refused to do It he should bo held to
the forfeit provided In the contract.
Alderman McDonald was In favor of ab
rogating Wlckham's contract for both
Harrison street and Mynstcr strcot, which
arc to be paved with home-made brick, ana
enforcing tho penalties. Alderman Boyer
was opposed to this, as he said ho bollcvcd
an arrangement might be made whereby
scrao other brick might bo obtained for
Harrison street, he suggested that brick
might be obtained from St. Joseph or Kan
sas. In tho absenco of Contractor Wlckham
from the city ho favored postponing action
until his return. At bis suggestion tho
matter was laid over until Wednesday
evening, when the council will meet to take
final action.
Brewers Uct I'nrt of Street.
Tho ordinance vacating three feet of
Scott street to onablo tho Omaha Brewing
company to Improve tho nroDertv recently i
bought by It at the cornor of that street
and Broadway was passed, Lougce. Hammer
nnd McDonald voting against It. Alder
man Boyer spoke In fivor of tho ordinance,
pointing out tne benefits that the city
would derive In return for tho concession.
He said It was a business nrnnnnltlnn num.
ly, as the browing company has guaranteed
In return for the thrco feet of ground to
erect a handsome three-story building
which would be nn ornament to the city. He
pointed out where the city had made simi
lar concessions and had received practi
cally nothing In return.
The matter of establishing nn nil pv north
of the block on Broadway between Scott
ana sixth streets was referred to the city
engineer with Instructions to make an es
timate of the cost and report at the next
meeting. B. J. Day, representing the own
ers of the frame barn on Scott street, de
manded 11.200 for a small ntrln neerieA fnr
the alley. This the aldermen considered
excessive.

J When John Kllanowskl came to America
I from Germany he left his family behind
him. Later two of his sons came to this
country and with their earnings bought u

out in the father's name. A year ago tho
sons brought suit In the district court risk
ing that tho deed to tho farm be trans
ferred to them, they having bought It with
their earnings. This, It 1s said, they did
in order to deprive their mother of the
property on tho death of her husband. Sho
resisted the application and during the
pendency of the suit began divorce pro
ceedings, alleging cruel and Inhuman treat
ment oh the part of her husband.
The suit brought by the sons was finally
settled and Mrs. Kllanowskl agreed that
the deed bo transferred to them on their
entering Into a contract to allow her and
her husband the use of tho farm during
their lives, The divorce suit was also set
tled out of court, Mrs. Kllanowskl with
drawing her petition.
ELOPERS FROM NEBRASKA
It, II. I.ane and A I inn Mitrtlrn of Co
lumhii Fall to Get 'Married
Because of Youth.
R. B. Lane and Alma Martlcs arrived In
Council Bluffs early yesterday morning
from Columbus, Neb., to get married, and
they would probably havo succeeded had not
tho young woman confided to Pastor Erlck
ton of the Fifth Avenue Methodist church
that ehe was little moro than 16 years of
ago and her Intended husband had not so
cured the consent of her parents to the pro
posed marriage. Tho actions of the young
peoplo clearly Indicated that It was an
elopement.
When the young peoplo arrived at the
Union Pacific transfer depot they Inquired
the way to the residence of the nearest
minister and were directed to tho Fifth
Avenue Methodist church parsonage, where
How E. W. Erlckson lives.
Here, after acquainting Mr, Erlckson
with the object of their visit, Lane left his
Intended bride while be went to the court
house to sccuro a license.
At tho ofilco of the clerk of the district
court Lano gave his age ns 26 and In an
swer to tho Inquiry of Deputy Balrd said
his prospective bride was 18 yeara old.
Deputy Balrd was In tho act of writing out
tho marrlago license when Pastor Erlckson
appeared on the sceno.
"What ago did you say tho young wom
an was?" Inquired tho minister.
"Eighteen," replied tho expectant groom
as a deep (lush suffused his face.
"Well, that la strange," said Mr. Erlck
son: "tho young lady herself but a fow mo
ments ago admitted to mo that sho was not
yet 17 years of age. Tho law does not al
low peoplo under 18 years of age to
get married unless they havo their par
ents' consent."
Lano stuttered a good deal whllo trying
to explain that his prospective brldo was
not "quite" 18; that ehe was IT; but on
being pressed by Deputy Balrd had to
finally admit that she was not 17 yet.
Rev. Erlckson explained that tho appar
ent youth of tho girl had made him suspic
ious and that he had questioned her as to
her age, with the result that she. admitted
sho was only 16.
"Could you get the consent of the young
woman's parents to the marriage If you tel
egraphed for 117" asked Deputy Balrd.
Lane replied that he doubted If ho could,
but that be would write for It and expected
to have It so that he could get married to
day. When last seen the young people were
making for the station and It Is bolleved
that they went elsewhere to try to get mar
ried. Come to the musical and literary enter

John Fetter, a young man whose home Is
said to bo In Omaha and who recently
worked In tho drug store of O. H. Brown
on South Main street, attempted late Sun
day night to end his life by taking mor
phine.
After swallowing the drug young Fetter
told his brother, Earl, what be had done
and declared that he was tired of living.
The brother nppllcd to Officer Onllaguan
and with his help took young Fetter to Dr.
Rice's office, whore a stomach pump was
applied with success.
It was evident that young Fetter had
been drinking nnd the doctor was uncer
tain as to tho amount of the drug that bo
bad swallowed. After he had been pumped
out, young Fetter declared his Intention of
taking his life at the first opportunity. He
called at several drug stores after leaving
Dr. Rice's ofilco and sought to secure more
morphine, but Officer Callaghan forestalled
him. Finally Callaghan Informed the
young man that bo would have to choose
between being locked up and going home.
Rather than spend the night at the city

rooms of Governor Shaw In the Victoria
hotel. Tho governor had reached home
from Ohio, whero ho hod been engaged In
speaking, at 4 n. m. and was duo to stnrt
for Fonda at 8 a. m., so It was necessary
to have the special meeting at an unsea
sonable hour In order to have all mem
bers present. Tho council was waited on
by President Uenrdshcar of Iowa State col
lege, Ames; Secretary Stanton, W. K.
Boardman and J. B. Hungcrford of the
board of trustees, and they presented to
tho council the needs of the state college
In the matter of providing for the work
stopped by tho burning of the experimental
barn nt the college last week. The loss
on the barn, Including hay, was about $1,000.
Tho trustees asked the executive council to
gtvo them money with which to build a
temporary structure. Thcro remains In the
providential fund only $3,000 unexpendad
and the council voted to give this to the
trustees, that they may temporarily pro
vide for quarters for the experimental work
at the college. This Is the first tlmo for
many years that tho providential fund has
all been used for any purposo aud this Is
due to tho large number of flrc3 at state

Another Turn In Ballot Muddle.
Tho State Board of Ballot Judges, con
sisting of the attorney general, secretary
of state and auditor of state, this after
noon decided that the name of Robert
Hufschmldt as candidate for representative
for Allamakee county may be placed on the
ballot. The ground for this decision was
that tho act of tho board In holding suf
ficient tho objections to tho first certificate
filed created a vacancy within the mean
ing of the law and this vacancy could be
filled by filing new nomination papers,
which has been done. The court adhered
to Its original ruling on tho main point
of the insufficiency of the fraudulent nomi
nation papers, but opened the door for the
correction of errors by tho decision of to

single vessel, except to smash It up."
Captain Lemly Could you tell absolutely
there was only a single vessel, although
you sighted but one?
"As I only saw one smoke, I presumed, of
course, there was but one vessel. Subse
quently we raised Vesuvius, which was
much lower In the water."
, Captain Lemly As a matter of fact there
wore more than one vessel?
"Thero were two vessels. That was de
veloped Inter."
"Others might have been developed In
the same way?"
"It they had I should have pitied them.
If tbey had been separated they would
have permitted themselves to be knocked
to pieces."
Itnyncr MnUen Protest.
At this point Mr. Rayner, addressing
himself to Captain Lemly. said that he
did not wmt to object to this line of ques
tioning, but there was no specification which
called for It. "I wish to submit to the
Judge advocate as well as to tho court,"
he said, "that thero Is a section of the
naval regulations which says ho shall, It
possible, before going Into action supply
every captain with a plan of battle and
assign thereon the position each shall oc
cupy." "Thcro Is no specification hero that ho
has disobeyed any regulation of the navy.
I am confident that It ho had disobeyed
the claim would have been in tho specifica
tion, becauso they Include almost every
thing In relation to the controversy, I do
not see the word 'written' In any of them.
I suppose there must bo some discretion
left to a man In command of a fleet. Ad
miral Schley could not supply a plan of
battle at Key West or at Clenfuegos that
took place before Santiago. When was the
time to supply It? He could not supply It
on July 2. He had no right to supply It.
There was not a tubment of time between
June 1 and July 3 thafho had a right to
supply any plan of action. That Is the
point 1 wish to make. Naval regulations
of doubtful Import and ambiguous phrase
ology are brought In here."
Mr. Rayner said that the question of
naval regulations had not been brought to
the attention of Admiral Schley; that thoy
bad had no opportunity to go Into It. "I
think," he said, "that 'Follow the fog' Is
an order of battle. How often has tho
signal 'Follcw the flag' boen given. Tho
only signal Nelson ever gave at Trafalgar
was that 'England expects every man to do
his duty.' "
The court at this point of discussion re
tired for consultation.
Upon returning Admiral Dewey stated
their decision as follows:
"Tho court decides that all questions to
bo asked of the applicant shall be con
fined to between May 10 nnd June 1, re
lating to the organization, management and
control of that squadron when ho was
actually commander-in-chief."
Why He Didn't Tell Captain.
The Judgo advocate then asked tho wit
ness whether between tho dates to which
tho court had restricted the examination he
had, according to article 221 of the reg
ulations furnished each ship with a plan
of battle.
"Vcroolly, yes."
"But not In writing?"
"I did not think the regulations required
it."
"Did you communicate to your captains
your confidential Instructions from Admiral
Sampson not to expose your Bhlps to land

She was Cured of Severe Bearing-Down

"Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam : After suffering for months with a
complication of female troubles, causing severe bearing-clown pains
and backache, feeling constantly fatigued and unable to stand up
without great weariness, great relief came to me when a friend
advised mc to use Lydia E. Pinkhnm's Voff otnblo Compound,
which I did. It was worth more to mc than all other medicines I ever
tried, which only seemed to poison my system, while your Compound
healed mc. I took your pills in connection, and they seemed to help
cast the poison and waste matter out of the system. I used tho
Compound for six weeks and was then completely cured, and while
this was eighteen months ago I have had no relapse, but have en
joyed the best of health ever since. I wish that every poor dragged
down, suffering woman might know that it would bring them health
to consult you and use Lydia li. Pinkhatn's Vegetable Compound,
and I always do what I can to tell them of it." Mrs. H. S. Wag

"Although wo did not go In during tho

"When did you first seo the entrance to
Clenfuegos?"
"A llttlo nftor daylight. May 22."
The Judge advocate called tho admiral's
attention to his statement to tho effect
that whllo on tho brldgo of Brooklyn on
(he afternoon of May 21, being then about
thirty miles from Clenfuegos. bo heard big
guns fired with the regularity of a salute.
Tho admiral stated that he re

"Does not tho log show that you wero

"I do not know."
At 4 p. m. the court adjourned for the
