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.

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;

merly reached only at night or the aecond
day following, will be reached In the aft
ernoon at these hours: Holsteln, 12:26;

On Saturday evening, July 12, the Chi

day morning. This gives the whole of
Sunday at one of the most pleasant places
reached by cars. Many Omaha people
have already taken up their summer resi
dence In cottages at ths lake and are en-
Joying the beautlea of the place to the

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.

Maxwell waa expected yesterday, but post

stated that Omaha ia vastly concerned In
ths benefits to be derived from tbe expend!

gatlon lmprovementa, and etepa which the
city's interests will taks In this connection

SCHOOL CHILDREN INCREASE
All but Three ef ths Oenini Enumerator i
finish Their Work.
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
