It wai Ak-Bar-Ben night In the city council chamben, and at the close of the aeeilon the knlghti bad In their pockets what tbey came for, namely, n order for 2,600 worth of electric light for street Illumination during the featlvltlea. The only councilman to rote agalnat the ap propriation was Hoye. The following members of the board of governors of Ak-Ssr-Den were present: M. A. Hall, Luther Kountie, Walter 8. Jar dine, Thomas A. Try, Mel thl, Ed Allen, Fred Metz, J. M. Hendry and C. M. Wll hclm. Messrs Fry and Uhl made short speeches, In which they explained the need of haying the streets well lighted, espe cially If President Roosevelt was to be here at that time. The debate on the resolution, which was Introduced by Trostlcr, waa unusually ani mated, and a quarrel ensued between him and Hoye, In which the word "He" bristled at frequent Intervals. 1 The $200,000 bond ordinance, which has been before the council at various times wince early In June, was returned by Act ing Mayor Karr with his veto, the reason being that there were several errors In the ' Hems. The veto was sustained and ths comptroller was Instructed to draw up a new ordinance. Sfw Curfew Ordinance. The curfew ordinance. Introduced a week ago, was passed, receiving a unanimous rote. It provides that children under 15 years of age must not be upon the streets or In public places after S o'clock at night unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, unless on an errand for parent or guardian, or unless their occupations require them to be abroad after that hour. The punishment for breaking the ordinance is not to exceed $5 to be Imposed upon the offender and $10 to be imposed upon the parent or guardian. The Board of Fire and Police Commissioners is directed to arrange with some factory to blow a whistle . at 8 o'clock each evening. The ordinance 'will become effective after it receives the mayor's signature. The Judiciary committee, having under consideration the question of increasing Police Judge Berka's salary from $1,200 to 12.G00 reported adversely. The report was accepted and approved by a vote of S to 5, President Karr casting the decisive vote. An ordinance was introduced requiring bakeries to take out an annual permit to be Issued by the commissioner of health, each permit to cost $5. An invitation from the Sons and Daugh ters of Tabor to attend their "gala day celebration" at Hlbbler's park, Friday, July 11, was accepted.

Oratory rather than literature is to be depended on to carry the close congres sional districts for the republicans this fall, according to the Washington corre spondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It la said that mors republican speakers hsve been solicited to take the stump this year . than ever before. This I because the Issues which ths democrats are ex pected to raise trusts and tariff have not been before congress in the form of any proposed legislation and the repub licans wi)l not be able to meet the demo cratic attacks until they are made on the stump. The demands made upon Chairman Bab cock and Secretary Overstreet of the con gressional committee from different parts of the country Indicate that the people want to hear the issues discussed from the stump and the list of speakers already secured is a large one. Breaker Hender son will make a few Addresses In Iowa and. will, then make a tour of Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana and proba bly Nebraska. The republican old sol diers of Nebraska, where there Is a good prospect of retiring four fusion members of congress, - are very anxious to have Colonel Henderson address them and he may extend his trip to accommodate his former comrades. Congressman Cousins of Iowa will make a number of speeches In Missouri and Illinois and will then go to New York and Pennsylvania to finish the campaign. Congressman Walter I.

C ipuAU AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Library Bonds Not Tet Accepted by the Successful Biddsr. COUNCIL PROVIDES FUNDS FOR SITE As loos as Lot la Purchased Andrew Carnegie Will Be Expected to Forward Fifty Thousand foliar Donation. A meeting of the South Omaha library board Is to be held today and matters per taining to the construction of the pro posed library will be considered. Some months ago the board purchased a site for the library at the northwest corner of Twenty-third and M streets for $3,500. It was the Intention at that time to Issue bonds for the amount. These bonds were put up at auction In the council chamber and were sold to John Dale of Omaha, who represented the State Bank of Toledo. The bonds were to bear 6 per cent Interest and run for ten years. The purchase was made subjnet to the legality of the Issue. Since the histories have been sent to bond attorneys in the east several Inquiries for additional Information have been received by the city clerk. Up to' the present time the bonds have not been sold and it is re ported that the Issue is not considered legal by bond buyers. In order to carry out as far as possible the object In view the council has appro priated $4,000 out of the 1902 tax levy for library purposes. One member of the li brary board said last night that the money would be used in paying for the site and the balance, amounting to $500,. would be spent In laying permanent ' sidewalks about the proposed building. As soon as the site Is paid for and the proper notice Is sent to Mr. Buchanan, private secre tary to Andrew Carnegie It is expected that the $50,000 promised will be for warded and deposited in a bank to the credit the board. As it will take at least a year to complete the structure, the council will not need to make a levy for maintenance until this time next year. After Mayor Koatnky, Those of the Anti-Saloon league who are interested in the enforcement of certain laws pertaining to the selling of liquor were disappointed at the action of the council Monday night in not taking any decided steps to carry out the Ideas of the association. Last night Mayor Koutsky said that he had been busy all day with financial matters pertaining to the city and he had not considered the question at all. Members of the league are urging the mayor to decide one way or the other at once. In connection with the desire of the league for the enforcement of the Slocum law it Is understood that a demand will be made to stop the playing of slot machines The mayor will be requested to Issue an order to the police placing all money-pay Ing slot machines under the ban. Whether be will do this remains to be seen. The assertion has been made that boys and young men spend more money than they can afford on slot machines and the league desires that the temptation be removed. if it Is possible to do so. Interest Increases Taxes. Tbls year it has been found necessary to make an' appropriation of $41,000 to pay Interest on the general bonded debt of the city and to pay interest on district lndebt edness. Last year the Interest levy was only $19,000 and money had to be borrowed to keep the credit of the city good at the state fiscal agency and with bond buyers, With the interest fund amounting to $41,- 000 this year the city can make out all right and will not need to borrow money from the banks. The overlap in interest has, like other overlaps, been carried forward from year to year. Now It has been decided to take radical measures to wipe out this overlap in the interest fund. With a levy amounting to $41,000 this can be done and then if it is necessary next year bonds might possibly be voted to take up some of the general indebtedness warrants which will fall due and to pay the Interest on future maturities. Insuring; Fire Halls. Insurance policies have been delivered to the city clerk by direction of the mayor and council for the Insuring of the contents of the three Ore balls. The total amount of insurance carried on these policies amounts to $2,000. This sum will not of course replace the equipment and it Is un derstood that the council will consider the matter of Increasing the Insurance. As more hose Is to be purchased soon the lots In case of fire will be greater and so some of the officials think that the amount of the policies issued should be doubled. Stilt Investigating. Inspector Waters of the postal service Is still here looking into the request of tbo Llvl Stock exchange for a sub-station at the Exchange building. While the Inspector declines to make any statement it is in ferred that he will not at this time recom mend the establishment of a station at the Exchange for the reason that it would necessarily take help from the main office. It Is thought that arrangements will be made for a collector to call for mall in the main building every hour, or at least make enough calls to provide for the wants of the packers and live stock men, while the mar ket is open. It is possible, however, that a sub-station may be established later pro viding that the' department will allow the main office additional help. ' Levy Ordinance Introduced. An adjourned session of the city council waa held last night and the levy and ap propriation ordinances were Introduced and read for the first time. The mayor re ferred the ordinances to the Judiciary com mittee. A report will be turned' in next Monday night, when the council meet again, and the ordinances will doubtless be passed. Some slight changes were made In the figures as reported in yesterday's Bee, but the levy will remain as reported, with the valuation practically the same as previously reported. Peter Lenagh Objects. Peter Lenagh, former garbagemaster, complained to the police yesterday evening that a party of surveyors had been going over his property at Thirty-sixth and L streets without permission. Lenagh asserts that these surveyors have destroyed a por tion of his field of oats and have tramped over his farm without admitting who they were working for. Lenagh wanted the po lice to break in and interfere, but Chief Brlgga referred the matter to Mayor Koutsky. Maale City Gossip. Harry Kelly has about recovered from ma recent severe illness. J. B. Ashe returned yesterday from a ten days' stay at Halt Lake City, utan. A aon has been born to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kogers, Twenty-sixth and L streets.

A gasoline stove explosion last night at Twenty-sixth and P streets called out the fire department during the storm. Loss W0 WIDOWS OF ONE SOLDIER They Both Want to Collect Tension Money from fulled states. Lydla J. Anderson e.fflrms that she Vs the widow of Robert W. Anderson and she wishes to draw his $12 pension from his Uncle Sam. But another woman, who used to be Mary Fouls, makes the same affirma tion and has the same desire. The pension commissioner declines to act until one or the other Is out of the controversy, so Lydla has petitioned the district court to declare her the real article and enjoin Mary, as a counterfeit, from even attempt ing to get the pension. Lydla lays most of the blame on a Kan sas sherJfT. She brands him as a man of little honesty and less discretion. Her petition begins with the statement that she was duly and properly married to Robert W. Anderson In Cuba, O., Janu ary 2, 1866, and that their relation as man and wife really existed until his death in March, 1902, intervening events to the con trary notwithstanding. The first of these Intervening events hap pened November 16, 1893, whep her hus band commenced suit for divorce In the district court of Anderson county, Kansas. There was nothing wrong about that, but the sheriff made a return of personal service on her, she alleges, whereas there bad been no such service and she did not learn until February 2, 1901. that the court, re lying upon the sheriff's statement and as suming that the case was going by default, had granted a decree of absolute divorce seven years previous, or on March 7, 1894. In 1895 he and Mary Fouts were mar ried and they lived together until his death, but Lydla insists that this marriage was null because the Drat one was still binding, as the divorce decree was null. The reasons the decree was void, were, she al leges, that no service of summons was made on her, the sheriff's return being false; that no notice of the pendency of the suit was ever published or otherwise given her and that she was and ever has been a non-resident of Kansas and has at no tlmo been within the boundaries of the state, but has been resident at Denton, Lancaster county, Neb. The Ahernn give performences both aft ernoons and evenings at Courtland beach. FOUR SUITS FOR DIVORCE Cruelty the Ground and the Wife the Plaintiff tn Every Case.

She wants, also, her maiden name of Eaton restored. They were married In Omaha In March. 1901.

SCHOOL CENSUS' IS COMPLETE Four Hundred and Eleven More Chil dren Thnn Were Enumer ated Last Year. The school sensus for 1902 Is complete and the returns show a gain of 411 over the count of a year ago. The enumerators found 30,561 ohlldren of school age In Omaha this year, as against 30,150 In 1901. "All of the gain over the last enumera tion is on the south side," said Secretary Bursess of the Board of Education. "There was a falling off on the north side, but the gain on the south side overcame this loss and converted it into an Increase. So far as the enumerators were able to ascertain there has been no Increase in adult popula tion on the south side, but births there during the last ten years have been more frequent."

THREATENS MORE TROUBLE Old Artsiiat Well Undsr Union Pacifio Koadbed Besmi Active. CHICAGO STRIKE HAS EFFECT IN OMAHA Falling: OAT of Freight Shipments from Windy City Considered Inevi table Hlah Water Inter feres with Traffic. More serious trouble is threatened to ths tracks at the west entrance of the t'nton Pacific river bridge, where the embank ment collapsed Monday. The ground la thoroughly honeycombed with water, which Is ooilng out for about fifty yards along the torn embankment, and the workmen are puttied to know Just what la the best way in which to meet this difficulty. The water is supposed to come from tha old artesian well, which was directly under the worst of the caveln. It seems to have thoroughly penetrated the entire enbank ment so ss to make that part which was not torn away Insecure. It la feared that the collapse may extend further to the south of the fll'lng and sweep away the Burling ton tracks unless something can be done to stop the flow of water and substantiate the roadbed. One of the foremen at work on the repair said that he thought the only course to pursue would be to locate the main stream of water and lay pipes so as to carry oft the water and prevent It from undermining the entire roadbed. If this la done It will require a long time to complete the work of repairing and get ths tracks back Into working shape. A large force of men Is still working away, but no dirt had been hauled In up to Tuesday forenoon sod little progress was then made. It was Intended to put the steam shovel Into operation Tuesday afternoon and bring filling from Summit. The Union Pacific has completed a spur track leading from the main entrance tracks to those going Into Union station which will afford a cut-off and obviate the necessity of using the Burlington and freight tracks, as had to be done Monday and Tuesday. Freight Handlers Strike. Local freight men apprehend a serious decline In the freight traffic tn Omaha a a result of the extensive strike of freight handlers In Chicago. As a vast amount of freight Into this city comes from and through Chicago, It Is said that a decided falling oft here will be Inevitable. Some Inquiry was made yesterday among the freight handlers In this city as to the probability of their striking in unison with the men in Chicago. The local men, while not receiving the wages they want, have not as yet contemplated strik ing, owing chiefly to the lack of a thor ough local organization. They are now proceeding with the perfecting of their union. There has been some discontent over wages and It Is hinted that when com pactly organized an effort may be made to Improve upon present conditions. Some Tracks Submerged. High water is still seriously interfering with the passage of trains entering Omaha, Several of the lines have found it Impos sible during the last few days to observe their schedules. The Rock Island seems to be as badly affected aa any. Its morning trains west were unable to go out at a'.l owing to submerged tracks at Fair bury, Neb. East on the Rock Island there Is no trouble and trains are running regu larly. The Union Pacifio Is still at the mercy of the high water in places, as la also the Illinois Central, whose Chicago-Omaha train, No. 1, due here a little after 8 In the morning, was over two hours behind time Tuesday. No accidents have as yet been reported, however, as a result of any delays. The Missouri Pacific, whose line was tied up at Nebraska City by overflow, reported yesterday that everything Is In good shape and trains are running freely.

Several constables and an officer from Maryvllle, Mo., are trying to locate a horse which was stolen at Maryvllle last Feb ruary and which Is supposed to be in the possession of Isaac Abrahamson, a grocer at 613 North Sixteenth street. Several days ago the Missouri sleuth thought he had located the horse In Abrahamson's back yard. He Immediately sent Con stable Marrow after the animal with ths necessary- papers to take posseslson of It. The constable was Informed that the horse was not there, but If $40 was forth coming It might be produced. Several more attempts were made to have Abraham son produce, but all have been In vain. Yesterday afternoon Abrahamson was ar rested charged with buying and concealing stolen property. He was later released under $500 bond. The, horse Is alleged to have been stolen from Fred Lysis of Maryvllle and the Missouri officer, who has been on the track of the horse since February, said that he had been informed by the man who stole It, who is now serving a term in the penitentiary, that he had sold the horse to Abrahamson.
