DEMAND FOR STUMP SPEAKERS
Rrpmblleaa Conaresaloaal Committee
Is Called t scn to Famish
. Many Orators.
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. Smith

The case of the State against William
S. Wedge, charged with embezzlement,
advanced no further than the preliminary
hearing in county court yesterday, wheu
Judge Vlnsonhaler dismissed it for lack
of evidence to show that Wedge was

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.

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 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

during the last ten years have been more
frequent."

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.

OFFICER WANTS TO BE SHOWN
He Is from Missouri and Wnnts to
tee Color of Certain
Horse.
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.
