Park Board Notifies Csnnc.il that it Claimi

.'SEQUEL TO LEVY FOR PARK PURPOSES
Report that F.iprfM Companies Will
Retail to Fa? Tun oa Franchises
ail Storks aa Assessed by
Tn Commissioner.
Testerdsy Msyor Koutsky filed with the
elty clerk a letter received from William
Msberry. secretsrr of the South Onfaha
park board. This letter says that at a
meeting held on January 19 the following
retolutlon wan adopted:
Resolved, That the road fund derived
from the levy made hy the county commis
sioners for the years 1W9 up to and In
cluding 1!'2 belong to the park fjnd and
that any diversion of thin fund will not be
recognised by the bonrd.
This action Is In line with a threat made
to the city council laat July hy James H.
Van Dusen, one of the members of the
, park board. At the time the question of
the. amount of the levy came .up Mr. Van
Dusen addressed the council and aeked for
an Increase. In making up the sheet the
I council had appropriated $500 for park pur
I poses, aa It was reported that there was a
balance In the park fund. The Idea was
to ketp the levy aa low as possible. Van
"Dusen talked for some time, but could not
'. convince the council that more money
waa '. needed. The levy ordinance was
psseed with an appropriation of only $500
fof pafk purposes. Mr. Van Dusen left
the chamber, saying that he would see to
It that, the city .turned over to the park
ttoard the amount of the road fund. He
asserted that under the law the park
board was entitled to this money and It
could he recovered by action at law.
Now comes a notice written by the sec
retary of the board ahowlng that the res
clutlon noted above waa adopted. The
communication will be. read some of these
time when the council meets and It prob
ably will b referred to a committee for a
report .or It may be pi area on nie. i no
disposition of the communication depends
entirely upon how the mayor feels when
the paper Is read.
For years past the city has received a
cortlon of the county road fund. The
mount received varies according to the
amount of taxes paid in on this fund.
When a sum of money accumulatea the
city treasurer la notified and he goes to
Omaha and obtains a check for the por
tion of the fund due South Omaha. Some
jeans It Is $3,000 and then again It Is more
Whan the matter was brought to the at
tention, of the city authorities yesterday
the general impression waa that If the
park board wanted to obtain this money,
especially the money that had been secured
and already expended for street repairs. It
would have to bring ault. . ,
When shown the communication from
the park board one member of the council
who Is well posted on city affairs aatd that
the present mayor and council wou'd not be
bluffed hy Mr. Van Dusen or any other
member of the park board, and that only
decision of the courts would compel the
city to disgorge the money already re
cebred and spent. The park board la now
composed of John F. Scbults, W. J. Mc
Crann, J. H. Van Dusen, William Maberry
nd C. M. Hunt.
The opinion la freely expressed that the
park board wants to establish boulevards
nd go to expense entirely beyond the
means of the city.
Eipreas Cosnpamlea Balk.
It waa stated yeiterdsy that the express
companies doing business In South Omaha
would refuse to pay taxea on the valuation
of franchises and stock as returned by the
city tax commissioner. While the atten
tlon of the city authorities haa not been
called to this matter yet. It la presumed
that since the fact has been made public
ome steps will be taken by the city treas
ttrer to collect this tax. . The express com-
panics assert that they are doing an Inter
state business and for that reason no mu
nicipality haa right to. assess franchise.

Omaha Hospital association will be held

building on Monday night. Officer of the
association report that large number of

RULERS OP THE WORLD
Meat Eating Nations Arm tho Leaders
In Every Branch ( Hamaa
Achievement.
: t
The ruling nations of the world are meat
eaters, and history records that they always
have been.
Vegetarians and food cranks may explain
this in any wy they choose, but tha facta
remain mat tn Americana,. Kagusn
French, Russians and Germans are meat
eating nations and they are also the moa
energetic and most progressive.
Tbe principal food of the rerolo Boer
soldier known aa Biltong, la a sort of dried
beef, affording a great deal of nourishment
in a highly concentrated form.
The weak races of people are the ric
eating Chinese, Hindoos and Siamese, re.
garded alnce the dawn of history aa non
progressive, superstitious and inferior
physically and mentally to the meat eating
nattona who dominate them.
The structure of the teeth plainly lndl
catea that human beinga should subsist
upon a variety of food meat, fruit and
grains, and it la unhygienic to confine one
diet ts any one of these classes to the
exclusion of another.
Meat is the most concentrated and most
easily digested of foods but our manner of
living Is often so unnatural that the dlges
ttv organs refuse to properly digest meat,
eggs'and similar nutritious and wholesome
food, but It Is not because such food Is un
wholesome, but the real reason la that tha
Stomach lacks, from disease or weaaaess,
ome necessary digestive element, henc
rising Indigestion and later ou chronic
dyspepsia.
Nervous people should eat plenty of
neat, convalescents should make meat the
' principal food, hard working people Tavs
to do so and brain workers and office men
hould eat not so much meat, but at leait
once a day, and to Insure Its perfect dlgea
tioa one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets should be taken after each meal, be
rceuse they supply the peptones, diastase
and fruit acids lacking In every caaa of
stomach trouble.
Nervous dyspepsia catarrh of stomach,
gastritis, sour stomach, gaa and acidity are
only different names for Indigestion, ths
(allure to digest wholesoms food, and the
use of Stuart's Catarrh Tableta cures them
11. because by affording perfect digestion
ths stomach haa a chance ts rest and re
cover Its natural tone and vigor.
Btuart'a Dyspepsia Tableta ia the real
boose hold medicine; It is as safe and pleas
ant tor the stomach ache of the baby aa It
to for tbe Imperfect digestion of Its grand

They are not cat brat le but a digestive,
and no pill habit can ever follow their use;

the habit of good digestion and cense

seph Rexek. From all accounts, there was
rough house. The story told by Shea,
who'ls now in the South Omaha city Jail,
Is about as follows: "There was a gang
of fellows In the saloon talking about the
Venezuela question and tbe result was a
mlxup. When the atove went over I waa
the under one In the fight and I did the
best I could to protect myself." Continu
ing, Shea said that If he cut Rezek he did
not know it. Later on be admitted that he
did the cutting, but It was done In self
defense. Shea has been employed at Cudahy's for
years and la considered an expert butcher.
From accounts, he had a skinning knife
with him at the time of the trouble and
went Into the . tight well prepared. 8hea

he owns property.
As tor the Injured man, the police had
him removed to the South Omaha hospital.
where Dre. McCrann and Delanney at
tended him. An inspection showed two
long cuts 6n the scalp and one quite deep
cut Just over the heart. At first It was
thought that the blade of the knife had
plorced tbe heart, but this did not prove
to be so. At midnight Rezek was resting
easily and It la expected he will recover
unless complications arise. Rezek lives
wfth his family at Thirty-ninth and Jack
son streets and haa a wife and two chil
dren.
The police are of the opinion that all
those Implicated were under the Influence
of liquor at the time of the fight. Shea,
while held at police headquartera, has not
been booked, aa the police are awaiting the
outoome of the Injuries to Rezek before
making formal charges.

WASHINGTON', Feb. 7. The conferees
on the Department of Commerce bill have
reached an agreement. The contention of
the senate in the most Important matters
have been acceded to by the house con
ferees, which leaves the Interstate Com
merce commission a sepsrate organisation.
All reference to the Interstate Commerce
commission is eliminated and the statis
tical bureaus to be transferred are speci
fied as being confined to the War depart
ment, tbe Navy department and tbe De
partment of Justice.
Trevious to the meeting of the sen
ate Senator Clay asked the democratic
members to meet him for an informal dis
cussion of the deadlock over the dispo
sition of the Interstate Commerce com
mission. He explained the sluatlon and
all of them expressed their willingness to
stand with htm in opposition to tbe report

him In demanding that the commission be
left as an independent division of the gov
ernment, while Senator Hanna declared
that he did not desire that the success of
the b'll should be Incumbered by an
amendment to accomplish a purpose which
he thought bsd already been accomplished.
Senator Nelson suggested the provision
specifically mentioning the statistical bu
reaus to be transferred. Mr. Hepburn was
the first of the bouse conferees to yield and
soon afterward the other members came
over and the work of creating the new ex
ecutivs department was completed.
Calls Hay Vlsler.
In florid Oriental style the State de
part men t has been notified that the sultan
of Morocco has decided to make an exhibit
at the St. Louis exposition, and haa set
apart (100,000 for that purpose. The notice
came to the department with the following
preface:
"Thanks be to Allah; atone to the vener
able, the highly honored, tbe wise, ta
whom reliance is placed, John Hay, vizier
of foreign affairs of the exalted American
government."
Hope to Settle Statehood Deadlock.
The leading republican members of the
senate who oppose tbe omnibus statehood
bill were In conference for quite a- tlmo
today trying to devise a compromise meas
ure.
Tney did not change their plan for a
double consolidation, providing for the sd
mission of Oklahoma and Indian territory
as one state and of Arlzonand New Mex
lco as another, but they -talked especially
of the time and method of bringing the
subject before tha senate. Finally they de
cldcd that the new. bill should be submit
ted first to the committee on territories.
and that the question should be sprung
next week, but did not set any - definite
day. The one difficulty was the doubt of
securing the adherence of all the repnb
lican senators, as . the opponents of the
omnibus bill object to the admission of
New Mexico and Arizona even as one
state.
The democrat j generally declare thst they
will not agree to consolidation, and some
of them say that rather than submit they
will let the bill fall altogether.

Fllibert Roth of New York has resigned

LURAL WIVES IN MEXICO
enate Dlscnsslna statehood Hears
Mtrmoa Antl-Polyasmy Revelav
WAPHINOTON, Feb. ".The statehood
bill again today claimed the greater shsre
f the senate's attention. Mr. Kesn (N. J.)
continued, but did not conclude his speech.
nd toward the close of the day there was
general debate on the necessity of In
serting safeguards against polygamy.
A large number of bills to which there
was no objection were passed.
Senstor Gslllnger (N. H.) presented a
partial report of the conference on the
bill Increasing pensions to ex-soldiers who
had lost limbs. He stated thnt the house
sd changed the rates materially. The re
port was adopted and further conference
ordered.
Mr. Morgan (Ala.) again called up his
resolution calling for papers concerning the
movements and correspondence of naval
officers in Colombian waters.
Mr. Hale's (Me.) motion to refer this
resolution to the committee on naval affairs
prevailed by a strictly party vote of 31
to 18. The resolution was therefore re
ferred snd when Mr. Morgan complained
that it would not be acted upon by the
committee Mr. Hale replied that It would
ot be favorably reported In Its present
form with his consent.
The senate then passed the following
bills: Authorizing the promotion of Major
William Crawford Gorgas, surgeon In the
United States army; for the relief of Cap
tain Joseph D. 81ms ot the United States
revenue cutter service; providing for the
holding of circuit and district court of the
United States at Kansas City. Kan.; giv
ing pensions of $75 each to the widows of
Generals Slgel and Negley; for the pro
tection of tbe public forest reserve and
national parks of the United States.
Mr. Kean then resumed tbe statehood
debate and read a book of travel by a
German author to show tbat polygamy still
existed in tbe Mormon church in the re
public of Mexico. This fact was after
ward commented upon by Messrs. Bever
ldge (Ind.), Spooner (Wis.) and Depew
(N. Y.) as proving the contention that
polygamy had not been abolished.
Mr. Spooner asked Mr. Rawlins (Utah)
whether tbe revelation for abolition bad
covered Mexico. Mr. Rawlins referred htm
to the documents, saying he did not care
to put any construction on them, but Mr,
Hoar (Mass.) remarked that "possibly the
revelator had not been able to speak
Spanish."
Mr. Rawlins addd later that aa he re
called President Snow's proclamation for
bidding polygamy It had covered ths Mor
mon church throughout the world.
Mr. Depew read the proclamation to ahow
Jhat polygamy had only been "suspended,'
and not prohibited. He thought another
revelation from the Mormon church should
be forthcoming.
Mr. Bscon (Oa.): "If the senator wants
an authoritative statement In tbe senate
on the subject, he may have all bis doubts
removed next session, when the new sens
tor from Utah takes hia seat."
That," replied Mr. Depew. "Is tbe only
argument that I have heard for tbe admis
sion of a Mormon to tbe senate."
Mr. Teller (Colo.) expressed the opinion
that, notwithstanding the book quoted, po
lygamy did not exist among Mormons in
Mexico. He did not believe tbe people or
the priests of that country would tolerate
It.
However, It was his opinion tbat polyg-
amy was entirely foreign to the subject ot
statehood,
Mr. Spooner took Issue with him, and
urged the Importance of the matter.
With me It Is no trifling matter, no
question of delay, and when we are told
here that the Mormon church controls the
elections in a state now In the union, we
must admit that that state was not prs-
pared for admission
Replying, .Mr. Teller contended that the
few Mormons In Arizona would not be cap
able ot controlling elections there. So
small a consideration should not stand in
the way of promise made in the treaty
ot Guadaloupe, Hidalgo, to admit as states
the territory acquired from Mexico.
The senate then went Into executive les
slon, and at 4:50 adjourned. .

porations. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. By an unanimous
vote 245 to 0 the house today passed the
