10 TIITC OMAHA BATIr BEEt WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, im2. CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Mount ud Lobeck Engt in a Word Warfare During afseting. HE PASSED, BUT NO BLOWS FOLLOW Proposition (or Special Sessloa i Ureases, Mrnbrr from th Fifth, v Who Sells Into Member froaa the Irrrntk Vlajoroeslr. By tolng to alee p last night during ths i early stages of the proceedings. City Comp troller Westberg missed on of the mint spirited scenes that haa been enacted In the eouncll chamber for many months. The lie was passed, flita were ahaken and deakt .pounded with unwonted vehemence. For s moment It looked aa though Councllmen lobeck and Mount would surely come to gether In flstlo encounter, yet Mr. Wot. berg alept peacefully through It all and 'doubtless dreamed of coasting down a to boggan allde of moonbeams on bis new au tomobile. Then- someons poured dll on the troubled wstsrs, the Mount-Lobectf tn 'eldent paned and the council proceeded With Ita business, Btill Mr. Westberg alept. The trouble between Lobeck and Mount I hinged on a apeclal bond ordinance by j which It la proposed to vote $200,000 In , bonds to cancel the city's floating Indeb tedness. Mount moved that a special meet ing of the city council be Held at id o ciock this morning to put It upon Us pasaage. Lobeck objected. Whr I.obeck Objected. I am opposed to that ordinance," aaid lobeck, "because Mr. Burkley here, who la posted on the city's finances, tells me It lis aa full of holes as a skimmer. It needs revision and amendment and should be re ferred back to the committee." "On the contrary," said Mount, "the or dinance has been carefully drawn and la all right. I went over It today with the 'city treasurer." ! "No. you didn't go over it with the city treasurer." retorted Lobeck, "because the ; city treasurer' office was not open for i business today." Mount leaped to his feet. "I'll show the gentleman that ha lies " ' "Sh-ta-h!" cautioned Zlmman, "you'll Urake him up," Indicating Westberg. j "That he lies," repeated Mount, "when lie say I didn't go over It with the treas- tirer. I went In et the back door." Lobeck. with hhs face very close to that hot Mount and Ms flat clenched aa for an fuppercut, biased: "Yes, you went in at the back door! That' the way you do busi ness! And now you're trying to go In at the back door again and have this crooked ordinance sneaked through at a special aesslont But I'll be there, air, to watch Tou!" Will Hold Special Session. A vote wa called for and upon roll call It waa decided to hold the special aeaslon. Mr. Westberg deep and regular breath- ! lng almost approached a snore. Colonel Alexander Hogeland, who waa present, made a speech In favor of a curfew i ordinance, which bad been placed, upon lta i'Crst reading. The ordinance waa referred 1 to the Judiciary committee. The veto of Acting Mayor Karr of the 14,000 Item In the salary ordinance ' by which It was proposed tojnake a payment of that amount on the lot at Eleventh and Howard streets, was read and, upon roil call, waa sustained by a unanimoua vote. Tne reason given for the veto wa that the Item should not have been Included In the salary ordinance. A note from C. B. Denney, offering to -sell to the city for 111.000 a lot 6xl32 feet at the southwest corner of Twelfth and Jackson streets, to be used aa the Lite for a fire engine bouse, waa read and referred to the committee on public prop erties and buildings. The lot at Eleventh land Howard atreets, for which the city Aa contracted, will coat $14,000. , At 10:80 Mr. .Westberg waa atlll aaleep, H Aboat Br tele Paving. Mayor Moorea' veto of a concurrent reso lution, making It optional with the Board of Public Work whether the guaranty on tbrlck pavement be one year or five years, instead of an arbitrary Ave years, aa here tofore, wa the cause of a running debate, wmoa laeiea iot nearly an sour, ine com munication accompanying the veto said, among other things, that "almost any kind of a brick will last a year," and thai the property owners ) should be protected by a 'longer guaranty. On this point City En gineer Rosewater spoke In part as fol lows: "There are some atreets on'. which better .results could be secured by the five-year I guaranty, and others, where trafflo Is light, i where the one-year guaranty would be preferable. Thla resolution make it op tional with the board whether the guar anty shall be one or five years. The itrouble la, the people are paying too much ifor these long-time guarantiee. It we are permitted to reduce the time on eome street to one year, we can get cheaper brick pavements, and the effect of this will be to make cheaper asphalt pave ments, and asphalt pavements are what the people want." f Upon roll call the veto of the mayor , was sustained by a vote of 2 to I, and the resolution was killed. Viae sad licensee Collected. I The report -of Lee E. Grler, clerk of l police court, for the month of June, was I read and referred to the city comptroller.

BUREAU IS NOW INOPERATIVE For that Isawn No Conflict fer Immigran Basinets is ExpeotetL NORTHWESTERN DOUBLE TRACK COMPLETE It 1 Part of General Plan Amplify Facilities Between Chicago) and Pacific Coast for Inter oceanle Trafflo, Local traffic officials persistently deny. the recurring statements of an, Imminent con flict between western lines for the immi gration business. It Is Insisted from abroad that owing to the recent withdrawal of the Rock Island and Union Pacific from the Immigration bureau a war for this class of traffic le inevitable. . The theory advanced I that the Harrl man lines, in conjunction with eastern Im migration agencies, will be pitted against those companies which remained In the bureau, and a fight to a finish for the Im migrant business will be brought on. This theory Is answered by officials of the roads which bav left the association in this way: "The agreement entered into by the roads originally composing the Immigration bureau is practically annulled by the withdrawal of the important . roads and there can be no contest on this basis. Those lines which did not formally an nounce their "withdrawal from this com pact cannot now be depended on to stay together on any further proposition of this kind, alnce the original agreement has fallen through." It is not at all unlikely, however, that the several lines will, separately and on their Individual responsibility, engage in a contest of this kind aooner or later, and 1: will not be a very great revelation If the Harrtman lines hang together on this propo sition as they do on all others, but It Is denied that they will be opposed by a union of the other roads. North western's Doable Track. The Northwestern road Is now In a posi tion to officially snnounce the completion of every mile of Its double track running continuously from Chicago to Omaha. It spans Illinois and Iowa and entera Ne braska with very little detour and makes next to the moet direct route of any other of the competing lines. Its total mileage for the trip is 491. The officials of the road are laying great stress upon the fact that thelr'a Is the only continuous double track in their sharp competition for the fast time record. The double track to Omaha Is part of the general plan of the Northwestern, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific to amplify the facilities between Chicago and the Paclfio coast, which is the basic scheme for enter ing the transoceanic field of transportation. Change Helps Omaha. The taking over of the Kansas City A Omaha railroad by the Burlington is al ready resulting In a direct benefit to Omaha. The assumption of the operation of the small road by the large one dates from yesterday, and yesterday also the freight service from Omaha to the terri tory tapped by the Kansas City A Omaha was vastly Improved. While- the traffic haa heretofore been concentrated on St. Joseph, through the St. Joseph A Grand Island line, It now centers on Omaha, through the Bur lington. Heretofore Fairfield, the connection of the SU Joseph A Grand Island with the Kansas City A Omaha, haa been tho cen trifugal point Yesterday this center wa moved to Button, still In Clay county, but the Burlington connection on the main line from Omaha west. Previously St. Joseph and even Kansas City freightage haa bad all the advantage of train service Into this rich territory over that from Omaha. Now, however, freight leaving Omaha In the aft ernoon will reach the towns Involved on the following day at these hours In the morn ing: Lyman, 4:60; Lush tan, 6:16; McCool Junction, 6:60; York, 6:45; Benedict, 7:20; Btromsburg, 8:00; Verona, 8:25; Clay Cen ter, 8:65; Fairfield, 9:35; Spring Ranch, 10:15; Pauline, 10:45; Leroy, 11:06; Rose Ian', 11:60. And the following towns, for merly reached only at night or the aecond day following, will be reached In the aft ernoon at these hours: Holsteln, 12:26; Norman, 1:05; Mlnden, 1:50; Keene, 2:26; Wilcox, 2:50; Ragan, 3:25; Huntley, 8:45; Alma, 4:15. Another Trip te OkoboJI. On Saturday evening, July 12, the Chi cago, Milwaukee A St. Paul will run an other of Its fishing excursion trains to Lake OkoboJI, returning to Omaha Mon day morning.

ENGLISH KNOWN IN OMAHA Has Killed la Colorado Wreck Cat n Wide Swath Here at Ooe Time. Franics M. English who was killed in the wreck on the Colorado Midland near Colo rado Spring Sunday, wa well known to a number of persons In Omaha, especially among the cricket players. In 1898 he vis ited Omaha with the Denver Cricket club, of which he was president, and bis visit here was notable for the lavish manner in which he entertained at the Dellone hotel. Mr. English had a most varied and ro mantic career and was a man of many attainments. He wss not only sn able mu sician, but Iras well read In the law, was a man of letters, an architect and an all around athlete. Born of an eminent Eng lish family, his father being a high naval officer, he had all the advantages that wealth and position could give him as a young man. He graduated from Oxford university and was admitted to the bar. He left the law and became a priest In the Roman Catholic church. Not satisfied with the church, he drifted to America and took charge of a school In Florida. From there hp went to Leland Stanford univer sity, California, as professor of Greek. While there he was married to a California heiress, but she shortly after secured a divorce from him. He then drifted to Honolulu, where he sttracted the attention of Queen Llluoka- llna and became her private secretary. There he married the daughter of the min ister of agriculture, who was also an heir ess. This led to bis return to America and he went to Denver to manage the mine of his brother-in-law, Dr. Walters. While In Denver he entertained lavishly and bis home was the resort of all that was fashionable arid wealthy. Two years ago the mine petered out, his wife left him and he was forced to give up his luxurious home. He went to Colorado Springs, where bis musical abilities secured him the position of organist In the Epis copal church there. His second wife, whom he wedded In Honolulu, had been married twice before, both of her former husbsnds meeting vio lent deaths. Her first husband was drowned and her second was found on the beach at Honolulu,. with .his throat cut. And now her third ' husband met a violent death In a railway accident. Too Great 1 o Risk. Ia almost every tielghborhood someone has died from sn attack of colio or cholera morbus, often .before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned. A re liable, remedy for these diaeases should bs kept at hand. The risk Is too great for anyone to take. ' Chamberlain's . Collo, Cholera and ' Diarrhoea Remedy has un doubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suffering thsn any other medicine Jn use. It can always be depended upon. Oil la Sarpy Coanty. Yesterday afternoon a party consisting of Major R. 8. Wilcox, Charlea E. Black, Mel Uhl, Fred Paffenrath. II. K. Burket, Max Goldsmith, R. F. Hbdgln, Rome Miller, George H. Lee, Robert Haaker, J. D. Weaver and the Ames Bros, were ex tended an Invitation through Mr. George Hall, Frank Dunlap, Harry Nott and George E. Ady, officers of the Omaha Pe troleum Gas and Coal company, to visit their oil wells In Sarpy county, nine miles west of Omaha. There is little question about there being oil, but whether In suffi cient quantity remains to be seen. The company has secured a lease on 1,000 acres and Is so confident that It is now building a large derrick and will begin at once boring for oil. The well la located In a ravine, close to the Paplo. and Just to the south of a ledge of yellow sandstone that crops out at the surface and extends for some distance up and down the stream. In drilling Mr. Hall makes the I statement that the following geological formation will be found: Sedl mentary deposit, yellow and red sandstone, blue and gray clay, dark ahale. hard sye nits and dark oream-colored aand or oil rock. In the latter rock the oil will be found and If the gaa pressure is sufficient the oil will flow over the top of the hole, producing a gusher. If there la a lack of gas precaure the oil will be pumped. In either event, ft the oil la found In quantities it cannot help proving of great benefit to Omaha and the country. The formation of the country Is such that with one. pumping station the ell can be piped into Omaha, from whence it will be shipped in tank care to the refineries. wherever they may bs located. Relative to the oil, there la no question about it being along the Paplo. At one point not within a few yarda where the well Is being put down the crude oil eeeps out through the rock formation and has formed a pool. Thla oil is black and heavy and burns with a blue flame, emitting a strong odor.- An anyalysls ahowa that It is close to 76 per cent pure, with a parafflne base, indicating that it is equal. If not bet ter, than the best, oil of Pennsylvania or California. Bhamroolng snd halrdresstng, tbe. at the Bathery, 211-22(1 Be Building. Tel. 1718. TO TALK IRRIGATION PLANS G. H. Maxwell Will Meat wltk Execs live Committee ef Commer cial Clab. Next Saturday at noon George H.

Mr. Maxwell waa expected yesterday, but post poned the engagement. The meeting will be the occasion of a dlscuaston of tbe Irrigation bill recently passed and made a law. It Is stated that Omaha ia vastly concerned In ths benefits to be derived from tbe expend! turs of ths $4,000,000 thus disposed for irri gatlon lmprovementa, and etepa which the city's interests will taks In this connection will bs discussed at that time.

GAIN OF FIVE HUNDRED IS ESTIMATED ecretary ef Edncatlon Board Thinks Mistake Waa Mas In Soatk Dis trict ( tk F.lahtk Ward, Whlck Rkowe Los. Secretary Burgess of the Board ef Edu cation le praying with bis face toward the east section of the Sixth ward, because that section will, he thinks, determine the total of the school census of Omshs. In- cldenally, It will determine how much money Omaha will get from the state, ss the state pays about f 1.60 for each child whose, name appears on the roll of the school census enumerators. Yesterday the secretary had received the books of all enumerators except those of the south district of the Third ward. the south of the Seventh and the east of the Sixth. The first district mentioned is nown to have shown a gain of about 250 over the total of 1.17S returned last year; the second mentioned Is known to hsve about held Its own, so It leaves with the third member of the trio the determination of the unknown quantity. Estimate by the Secretary. All that Secretary Burgess permits him- elf to expect is that It will hold Its . own and equal last year's showing of 2,153. If It doea this the city will this year have a school census total that wlH be larger by 500 names than that of 1901, for, with the returns already in and estimating the totals of the missing districts at their last year total, the secretary haa 80,401 names, or 251 more than the 1901 total, which was 80,150. Secretary Burgess said: "The books came lu In good condition. and I am much pleased with the work as done by the enumerators. I am not, how ever, quite satisfied with the total lor the south district of the Eighth ward, which is 1,425, or 802 less than last year's total. Will Make Invvatlsratlon. ' I am afraid there ha been omission somewhere, and I shall investigate. Enu merators may make errors of one kind or another, no matter how conscientiously they try, and that they can overlook some children is shown by the fact that the school census returns gave Omaha 10,906 children between the ages of 8 snd 14, whereas the actual enrollment of such chil dren In the schools waa 11,507." The secretary stated that the election of board officers will be the only unusual business of next Monday night's meeting, aa the report of the school year Just closed cannot be completed before September 1. In the census return the largest gain was In the south district of the Second ward, which raised from 2,811 to 3,099. The larg est loss was that of the south district of the Eighth ward, which fell from 2,481 to 2,027. i A valuable adjunct to a happy meal, Cook's Imperial Extra Dry Champagne.
