A trial heat of the race to b run Mon
day Bight at the mas meeting In the city
council chamber over the Rosewater fraa
chlae ordinance tu paced laat evening
before the Southwest Improvement club at
lta regular meeting at Twenty-fourth and
Leavenworth streets. City Engineer Rose
water waa present to ad1reaa the club on
the subject of hla propoaed franchise. Coun
cilman Hawaii, representing the opposition,
waa alao preaent upon Invitation. City
Attorney Connell, W. H. Green and C. W.
Haller were present, as regular club mem
ber. Theae five were the principals In an
Interesting, even though one-aided, debate.
Mr. Roaewater, In the main address of the
evening gave In a concise way the Impor
tant points In bis proposition. He pointed
' out. as baa been detailed In the papers
, and as la shown by his proposed ordinance
' as printed In The Bee. that this plan would
, mean for Omaha power and light at 100
and too per cent cheaper than the present
rate; a source of power that would be an
Inducement for outsiders to Invest their
money In factories, business and all Omaha
propositions here, and Incidentally a lake
some eight miles long by three wide, within
: thirty miles of this city for a summer
: resort. He showed that he Intended to
secure the Immense power by storing up
i the waters of the Platte and Eikhorn rivers
near the mouth of the latter by Joining
them together Into a lake.
Mr. Rosewater also explained his objec
tions to the substitute to his ordinance
, which haa been submitted by Councilman
Hascall. He objected chiefly to tbe first
and fifth clauses of this substitute. The
first of these specifies that the franchise
rights shsll termlnste at the end of thirty
yeara. Mr. Rosewater held that it was
unfair, to ask that he attempt to go Into
this work and bring capital to support It
as good as booked for tbe festlvsl, the
dates of which sre Msy 7, I, t snd proba

BANKER DENIES A RUMOR

NEW YORK. Nov. 29. A member of th
warding th requirement of tbe festival I banking firm of Baring, Magoun ft Co. of
la th way of orchestral and vocal and in- I this city today denied a report from Cblcag
rtrumental soloists, and Is now nego- I that "J. Pierpont Morgan, aided by Baring

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL At th offlc of J. P. Morgan It was also
said there wa no foundation for th report-
There 1 considerable talk these dsys nf
providing means for the construction of a
brick sewer from Twentieth and N streets
to the river. Bucb a aewer aa the one pro
posed would drain a considerable amount
of territory and could be lajd at small cost
at present.
"What 1 needed," ssld a resident In the
eastern portion of the city Isst night," is
a sewer which will run esst from Twentieth
and N street to Thirteenth street. Lat
erals should also be laid north and south
of this proposed main sewer."
Engineer who were consulted say that
a five-foot brick sewer could be laid for
about $25,000. In case It Is the plan to
run the sewer over to O street and continue
the course of the waterway to the river, the
cost probably will be doubled.
By the terms of the present charter the
city Is prohibited from Issuing bonds for
sewers. This Is remedied by the city Issu-
ng warrants, which draw Interest after
fifty dsys. These warrants are supposed to
be psld by property owners benefited. In
the case of a big aewer like the one pro
posed It would be necessary to Issue gen
eral Improvement bonds. These bonds can,
so It Is asserted, be floated at a low rate
of interest, providing the taxpayers will
vote for the Issue. The project Is to be
brought before tbe people by the city coun
cil before long.
City After Delinquents.
"So much trouble has been caused by
property owners protesting against specisl
taxe assessed for the laying of sidewalks
that the city now proposes to take a de
cided stsnd In the matter," said a city
official last night. "In the psst, when
walks have been laid, the property owners
were given a certain length of time In
which to comply with the ordinances. When
this was not done the city went ahead and
laid the walks and taxed the cost up
gainst the property. In a number of In
stances property owners have disputed the
right of the city to levy such special taxes
and have carried the case into the courts.
It Is true that the court has found, at
different times, flaws In the ordinances,
and therefore some of the special taxea
have been declared Invalid. In the mean
time the property owner ha been using
the walk laid by the city and was not
paying a cent toward the cost. Now It Is
proposed by the officials to tear up these
walks In contested districts, as tbe ma
terial rightly belongs to the city. This
will be done shortly unless the taxe are
paid."
Several of the member of th council
were Interviewed on the subject yesterday
and they favored the plan of removing all
walks in disputed districts where the ma
terial was laid and the labor performed
by the city.
Bank Statements.
At the call of the comptroller of the
treasury the national banks forwarded a
statement to Washington showing the con
dition of affairs at the close of business
on November 26.
Tbe three national banks bad on deposit
at th tlm the call waa made th sum of
$6,495,450.39. When th prior call was mad
on September 25 these banks had depos
ited $.4M.240.21. The November call shows
an Increase In deposits of $29,210.18.
This Increase at this time of th year
certainly speak well for South Omaha,"
said a banker. "A a general thing, funds
are withdrawn during November and De
cember. The tact that there I an In
crease in deposits looks good and shows
that the community In which tbe banks
are situated and the territory surrounding
South Omaha Is In a prosperous condition."
Looking After Disease.
Now that the city Is free from smallpox
tbe officials of the health department pro
pose to do everything; possible to prevent
new cases. There I, so It Is said, to be a
general cleaning up all over the city. Trains
will be watched to aedj that cases of small
pox from other cltle are not shipped to
South Omaha. As th emergency hospital Is
now empty, the desire of th Board of
Health is to keep It in this condition dur
ing the remainder of the winter, providing
such a thing Is possible. Last winter the
city spent a large amount of money In car
Ing for cases, but as no fund are available
this yesr every precautions will ba taken
to prevent th atartlng of a smallpox epl
demle.
Escaped Prisoner Arrested.
Anthony Winnlck. a private In th United
State army stationed at Fort Sheridan,
111., was arrested here yesterday by Chief
Brlggs and bis men and 1 now confined In
the city Jail. Winnlck Is wanted by the
government authorities for escaping from
prison at Fort Sheridan, where he was serv
ing out a sentence for breach of discipline,
Chief Brlggs communicated with Colonel
Miller at Fort Crook and th prisoner will
be turned over to tbe government authorl
to resp a rewsrd of $40 for tbe capture of
Winnlck.

Such men would give almost anything for
the opportunity they once had to mskn
corrections that delay and Indifference
