ta Present Plaas.
The board of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben
have received a reply to th Invitation aent
to President Roosevelt to be the guest of
Ak-Sar-Ben October I. at which time It Is
proposed to have as a feature of the cele
bration a special electrical parade similar
to that ghren on the occasion of the visit
of President McKlnley. Secretary CorUl
you acknowledged the receipt of the Invi
tation and stated that the president would
be glad to accept the Invitation, but the
time of the visit would be dependent on ar
rangement that might be made by local
committees heie and at other point.
As far as announced the president's Itin
erary will place him In Detroit September 11
to attend the Spanish war veterans' conven
tion. October I he will return to Washing
ton and' view the parade of the Grand Army
of the Republic encampment, after which he
111 take a trip through the southwest, vis
iting San Antonio, Tex., October 23.
Th board has assurances that Senator
M.llard and Senator Dietrich will endeavor
to perauad the president to be here on the
Id of October. If the visit cannot be ar
ranged for that date the time of the. elec
trical parade, which will be a special feature
of the celebration, will be changed.
At the den last night a hilarious time was
bad In making a number of Uncle Sam'a
men tread the win press to th enjoyment
of a large crowd and to the discomfort of
th army. Next Governor Mickey was there
with th glad hand to see th fun, and even
up for what bad been done to him a week
go.
Those who became loyal subjects were:
General Bates, Colonel Pullman, Captain
Wright. Captain Royden, Lieutenant Mc-
CUntock, Lieutenant Wills of the head
natters, and these from Fort Crook: Cap
tains Newall, Davidson, Wassell, Bridges,
rovs; Lieutenants Stone, Hugate, Gregg,
Nelley, Haycraft, Curtis, Haney, Bell,
Goodale, Parrott (who refused to repeat and
rarly got killed), Dr. Straub. John Fran
cis, general passenger agent of th Burling
ton, was also one of the elect.
The Initiations passed off very peacefully
until Lieutenant McCllntock attempted to
make a speech on the water cure. He was
promptly drowned out. Lieutenant Hay-
craft sprained a thumb playing ping pong
because he was not "used to such violent
exercise. After that the meeting was noted
for 1U strenuoslty.
During the evening it was announced that
the Elks of Deadwood would have a cele
bration the last of the month and that they
had sent a special Invitation to Ak-Sar-Ben
to attend. If a delegation goes the Elks
will reciprocate by sending an, excursion
here.

Several members of the city council are
considering the advisability of forfeiting
the $1,000 paid a year ago to "bind th
bargain" In the purchase of a lot for a
fire engine house at Eleventh and Howard
streets, as several cheaper lots In the
same neighborhood have bees offered within
the last few months. The price asked for
the Eleventh and Howard atreets ' lot Is
$14,000. The matter came np at the meet
ing of the city council In general com'
mlttee Monday afternoon. The following
letter from W. B. Metkle, agent for the
Mschanica' Savings bank of Providence,
R. I., wss read:
In reference to the action of your hon
orable body -at-Its last meeting, I think
It best to immediately advise you that
the Mechanics' Bavlnas bank will stand
on its contract with the city, and while It
la Immaterial to the bank what other
real estate the city may buy, It certainly
will enforce tne contract relating to pur-
cnase oi lot s, diock i&o.
The consensu of opinion seemed to be
thst there was no written contract between
Mr. Meikl and th city for th purchase
of th lot. Sine Mayor Moore nego
tiated th purchase, It was decided, to lay
th matter over until his return from the
west.
J. A. Tuveeon, driver of an oil wagon,
was voted flS.10 for oil spilled and wagon
broken as the result of driving Into a

J. W. Ktnkead asked permission to put
up box advertisements at street intersec
tions, cash box to bear ou one side the
names . ot the strsets. He was told to
submit his scheme to the city engineer. .
Councilman Zlmman Introduced an or.
dlnance to Increase th salary of Police
Judge Berka from $1,200 a ear to $2,600
year, but was Informed that, under the
city charter, the sslary of an officer could
not be Increased during the life of his
term. The general Impression sesmed to
be that this feature ehould be smended by
ths next legislature.

Had Intended,
RESIGNS JUDGESHIP HE HAD ACCEPTED
Health Saeh that Thyslelaas Advise
Him Kot to I'aaertake tha
Life la a Tropical
Cllaaat.
4udg Herbert J. Davis, who was re
cently appointed a judge of the court of
the first Instance In th Philippines, has
resigned his position snd will remain In
the United States. The resignation was
telegraphed to the War department Sun
day night. Judge Davis' action was the
result of 111 health, his physicians having
advised him that such a move would be
a detriment to him.
For some time Judge Davis has been
troubled with a growth upon hla tongue,
though until sbout two weeks sgo he
thought nothing ot It and paid very little
attention to It. About a week ago he came
to Omaha fronwChlcago and the growth
began to trouble him and physicians ad
vised an operation. This was performed
last Saturday at th Clarkson hospital, Dr.
Lavender having diagnosed tbs growth a a
cancer. Th wound occasioned by ths
peratlon bad healed nicely and at present
he feels no 111 effect, though fearing a
return of the trouble physicians dissuaded
Judge Davis from leaving the country.
Was Ready to Ball.
Judge Davis was to have sailed from San
Francisco on the transport Sherman July
1. snd had made all his arrangements.
His' library and baggage Is alrekdy in San
Francisco and the officials havs been noti
fied to hold them. At present Judge Davis
Is the guest of M. L. Learned,' 138 North
Thirty-first avenue. To a reporter for
The Bee last night he expressed his great
disappointment at not being able to go to
the Philippines. -
It is a great disappointment to me," be
ssld, "that I had to resign. The work
would have been Inspiring and a work that
a man could have put his whole soul In.
It wss the establishing of United States
courts and no work Is nobler or greater.
It is one of the greatest works that con
fronts the people today. For three years
there has practically been' no court in
the Philippines, and as for criminal Jaw
It Is something that will be entirely new
to that country.
Was Aiilom to Go.
"Since receiving my appointment It has
been the one desire of my life to begin
the work and I cannot say how disap
pointed I am. The establishing of law
and courts In the Islands will be a difficult
task, but the country has a great man at
th head ot it, in the person of Governor
Taft. I know ot no better man for the
position In the entire country. H Is big
hearted, generous, brainy and a wonderful
work will be accomplished there In a short
time. I am glad there is such a man for
the also."
Judge Davis ha not decided what he
will do In the future. "For th present,"
he aaid, "I shall do nothing, absolutely
nothing, for the first time in twenty-five
years. My physicians have advised me to
rest find I shall rest, and as for the future
I have no plans." Judge Davis was for
merly judge of the district court ot this
county, but several years ago removed to
Chicago, where he has been engsged In
ths practice of law. ,

mitted the corrected figures of the 1903
city sssessment. The Board of Review
made a number of changes and in going
over the books Mr. Fltigerald found a num
ber of clerical errors, which were cor
rected. The valuation, as now returned
by the tax commissioner, is $18,091,206.
This is some reduction from the figures
returned st the time the Board of Review
closed Its session, but as a number ot
errors were found, It was necessary to
change the totals. The appropriation or
dinance will be made out as follows:
general fund..$ 3S.00' Paving i. l.l
Fire IS."" park 6U

Want Walk Relald.
Louis Flllflo, who owns the property at
the northesst corner pt Twenty-third and
H streets, has through his agents sent
a communication to the city council de
manding that the street foreman or the
street commissioner or whatever his title
may be shsll at once relay tbe brick walk
In front of his property. It will be re
membered that a fortnight ago mention
was msde of ths fact that August Miller
who Is st present In chsrge of the street
gang, caused the ' walk in front ot this
property to be torn up because be said
it was below grade. The city engineer
was called to decide the question and
he asserted that the walk as laid was
exactly on grade, but that the street
was a little above grade. Mr. Filtflo wants
ths city to relay this walk at its own
expense, as he claimed that he fulfilled
all of th conditions required when he laid
a permanent walk.
Annoy Garbaae Hanlera.
Owing to the delay In making arrange
ments with Herman Kounts for an open
road to tbe river those here who are en
gaged in' hauling dead animals and gar
bage are compelled to go to Omaha and
then drive through s portion of tbe road
way In Rtvervtew park in order to reach
the point on the river where the city gar
bage is dumped. This long drive adds ad
ditional expense to each trip and prevents
to a great extent tbe rapid disposal of
garbage. On account of tbe altercation now
going on between the owner of tbe land
abutting on the river and the city officials
the erection of a crematory has been
suggested. Such an affair would cost
money, but for years past there has slwsys
been a fuss sbout a road to the river and
a great deal of money has been spent
In trying to make a suitable road. It was
asserted 'by a member of tbe council yes
terday that If a suitable pleoe ot ground
could be secured,' which was easily acces
sible. It would pay the city to erect
crematory, snd thus do away with all of
the bother about dumping refuse Into the
river. It Is understood that sn es stern
compsny stands ready to take up tbe
proposition, providing the ctty officials do
not care to do so.v In case an independent
company was formed it would be necessary
for tbe city to grant a tea-year franchise
for tbe handling of garbage.

Cudahy snd the carmen and tha result
was that ths shops were opened, In speak
