Only four member of the council ana
the mayor were present at the meeting
held last night, Broderlck and Smith
toeing detained at home. Three bond ordi
nances were Introduced and read for the
first time. One provided for the voting of
135,000 for an extension of the sewer- sys
tem In the eastern portion of the city; an
other for bonds to the amount of $60,000
for the purchase of a site and the erec
tion of a city hall building. The overlap
ordinance came' In last. It calls for bonds
not to exceed $70,000 for the purpose of
paying the dustandlng Indebtedness of the
city. These ordinances were referred to
the judiciary committee.
According to the report of the special

lic light, $10,048; street repair, $2,234; water,
$11,668; general, $11,678; fire, $8,761; curbing

interest, $7,300.
In the ordinances Introduced the mayor
la empowered to call a special election for
June 23, when the proposition to vote on
the bonds will be considered by the public.
In the ordinances the bonds are to draw
4V4 per cent Interest and to run for twenty
years. It may be possible that the rate of
Interest may be raised to 6 'per cent, as
some doubt was expressed after the meet
ing In regard to the city floating bonds at
bins tuna i iiiv rj jjor cent rate. ' ( .
Very likely when the judiciary committee
reports on the ordinances at an adjourned
meeting, to be held this afternoon, the rat i J
or interest win ds changed, with' a a, per
jcen bond. H ia.asserted. that .the city 'can
obtain a premium,' while with the' lower

mittee. . O'Connor, chairman of the committee on
printing, reported that as he had not been
furnished with any copy for the blanks
desired by the Fire and Police board,' he
desired further time, and this was granted.
When the bond' proposition ' was up in
the council nothing was said about votln,
bonds for a high school building,, as ni
request had been made by the Board of
Education for an ordinance providing for
such an issue. The intention of the coun
cil is to pass these bond ordinances thla
week, and then, to set a date for tba re
vision of registration.

cation held last night It waa decided to

as the city bond election, June 13.

Want Altera Paved.
Several members of the city council who
have been looking over ' the streets and
alleys within the last few days have come
to the conclusion that the alley between
Twenty-fourth and ..Twenty-fifth streets
from L to N should be paved. "This alley,"
said member of the council, ''Is Xused a
a mother should be a source of joy to all, but the suffering and
danger incident to the ordeal makes its anticipation one of misery.
Mother' Friend is the only remedy which relieves women of the great
pain and danger of maternity ; this hour which ia dreaded as woman's
severest trial is not only made painless, but all the danger is avoided
by its use. Those who use this remedy are no longer despondent or
gloomy; nervousness, nausea and other distressing conditions are
overcome, the system is made ready for the coming event, and the
serious accioems so common to me critical

really disgraceful. . It should be paved with
either stone or vitrified brick,, and that
right away." When talking on .this, pro
position another member of the council
said that the government did not pay for
any pavements, therefore the cost of pav
ing would have to be borne by the district
when created. ' When the street nnd alley
committee made up Its mind on this matter
yesterday afternoon It was too late to have
the city attorney draw an ordinance to be
ready for the session' held last night. As
surance was given that an. ordinance will
soon be forthcoming and that the alley will
be paved this summer at the expense of the
property owners. '
Button Starts Suit.
Attorney A. I Sutton has started a suit
for $5,000 damages 'for James Eberle, 15
years old, against John Franek, a Brown
park saloon keeper. It Is alleged In the
petition that on the night of April 19 there

James" Vampbla, while under the Influence
of liquor, threw a pop bottle, which struck
Eberle on the forehead, cutting quite . a
gash.. A physician had to be called to sew
up the wound. Eberle thinks that he Is
entitled to damages,, as he was only a
spectator at the dance.

JUDGE BAKER VISITS OMAHA
Recites Some Interesting; Incidents of
President's Reception in tbe
Territory. (
Judge Benjamin S. Baker of the' supreme
court of New Mexico, together with Mrs.
Baker, dropped in among their old friends
in Omaha yesterday. The Judge Is In fine
form physically and talks enthusiastically
over New Mexico, and especially of Its
reception to President Roosevelt, In 'which
he had a leading part. 1 " -'
"I am fresh from New Mexico; and It is
all right," said Judge Baker. "There "have
been many new finds In the gold and copper
fields. The railroads are' at work on ex
tensions and a new railroad that assures
us $,000 miles more by 1904. The heavy
rains and snows insure one of the best
years for sheep, cattle and agriculture for
many years. Large Investments are being
made by outside capital In mines, lumber,
stock and irrigating plants, so' that pros
perity in New Mexico is visible on every
hand. The territory has a great future. I
think I am safe In predicting statehood for
New Mexico In some form along Jointly
with Arliona next congress, from a talk '
with the president. I think I am "war
ranted in the conclusion that he Is for
Joint statehood for New Mexico and 'Arl
iona, allowing Arizona single statehood
after acquiring a population of some $00,000.
Statehood Is in the air and ia coming sure
in 1904.
"New Mexico gave the president a great
reception on May t. Santa Fe did itself
proud and Albuquerque's reception was
sublime, and we, felt assured that the presi
dent was pleased. In front of the speakers'
stand, on an elevated and inclined' plat
form was a living map of little girls,
dressed In white, each properly located, and
holding a banner of the state she repre
sented. In front of the sisterhood of states
was a rail fence and a small gate slightly
ajar, inside of which stood Uncle Sam
holding a star, and outside a small girl in
white, representing New Mexico, reaching
for the star. This tableaux pleased the
president very much and he spoke of the
'little miss on the outside.' On the arch
under which he waa driven were the worda,
'Roosevelt Statehood,' and between a pic
ture of the president below, the figures
1904.' As we drove under the arch I said:
Mr. President, how do you like our mottoT'
He replied, 'There Is nothing the matter
with that.'
"We presented the president with a mem
bership card of the Albuquerque Commer
cial club In the form of a Navajos blanket,
23x53 inches. I drew the design, selected
the colors and a Navajos squaw wove It
The ground waa a beautiful red, the border
of red, white and blue, with atars, squares
and diamonds, while the center waa a large
diamond of blue, bearing the inscription:
'The president, honorary membership card.
Commercial club, Albuquerque, N. M., May
t. 190$.' I tell you It was a beautiful saddle
blanket and when the president said, I am
delighted,' it was in no pro-forma manner,
lie exclaimed, 'By George, It's a real Nava
jos; it's the real thing!' In short, we gave
him a spleqdld reception.
"You can say New Mexico is all right,
and I am much pleased with It and the
people, and I shall do all I can to boost
It along. Of course I can never forget the
great state of Nebraska and my many good
friends here, yet I am contented and satis
fled with my new home. We have the
finest climate and nicest people anywhere
to be found. Mrs. Baker is with me. We
are here on account of her mother's Illness
and may stay several weeks. I had a hard
year'a work, but my docket Is practically
cleared Up. . barring some supreme court

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
Excepting the Inst ten minutes, the en
tire session of yesterday afternoon's meet
ing of the Woman's club was occupied with
the election of officers and chairmen of
standing committees. Not that there was
any contest for the offices, but rather that
withdrawals seemed the order of the day,
much time being consumed In filling out
the ticket, while a tie and a failure to
secure a majority vote necessitated a sec
ond ballot for the offices of first vice presi
dent, treasurer and chairman of the house
and home committee. When nominations
were called for Mrs. H. 8. Jaynes arose and
In the following words made the nomination
for president:
"I wish to nominate for a second term
one who has endeared herself to her friends
by her ever gracious tact and courtesy;
who has shown unfailing energy In the
discharge of her. duties and who has never
swerved from her loyalty to the Omaha
Woman's club and its best interests Mrs.
F. H. Cole."
The applause that followed waa most
hearty and a motion was at once made
that the secretary cast the ballot for the
club unanimously for Mrs. Cole for presi
dent. Prolonged applause followed, during
which several bunches of flowers were
carried to the platform, and when quiet
had been restored Mrs. Cole thanked the
women simply, saying that while It waa im
possible to please everyone or be governed
by the opinions of all, she had done con
scientiously what in her Judgment seemed
best. The unanimous re-election of Mrs.
C. H. .Townsend' as second vice president
and of Mrs. Edward Johnson as corre
sponding secretary followed. Mrs. George
Thompson refusing to serve a second term
as first vice president, Mrs. R. M. Ste
venson was elected' to succeed her. Mrs.
A. W. Bowman succeeded Mrs. C. S. Lo
blngler, who refused a second term as
treasurer. Mrs. Charles Rosewater was
elected recording secretary. The following
chairmen of committees were elected:
Auditing, Mrs. H." J. Penfold; constitution,
Mrs. I. R. Andrews; courtesies, Miss Ethel
wynne Kennedy; house and home, Mrs.
H. S. Jaynes; library, Mesdames Miller,
Towne and Crowley; membership, Mes
dames E. B. Towle, Thomas Ward, Crow
ley, Ralph Bush and Chlsem.
Upon recommendation of the committee
appointed to devise some means for rein
stating delinquent members it waa pro
posed that all "delinquent members, no
matter of how long standing, be reinstated
during the month of. May by .the payment
of $3, that to stand aa membership fee for
the coming year.- - This . recommendation
was opposed on the ground that it waa
unfair to those women who had come in
last month and paid $5 for the remainder
of this year and next, and the motion waa
lost. . . '
Mrs. Mary Teats, national superintendent
of the purity department of the Woman'a
Christian Temperance union, waa then in
troduced and presented greetings from the
organization that she represents. Mrs.
Teats Is in the city delivering a course of
lectures under the auspices of the local
union.
Upon motion of the house it was decided
to make the discussion and adjustment of
the complimentary membership list, busi
ness held over from last meeting, the first
order of business at the next meeting,
which will be the- first of the year. A
piano solo by 'Mrs! Samuel Katx was fol

of the newly elected' officers.

with the American commissioners on ar
ticle xll of the proposed new treaty.' The
article refers to the opening of points in
Manchuria to foreign trade.
It la added that auch negotiations, are
inadvisable, owing to Russian action. The
Chinese commissioners, reflecting the in
decision of the government, suggested this,
was a matter for settlement by inter
change of dispatches rather than by in
clusion in the formal treaty.
Russia Vllllnc 1o Leave.
LONDON, May 11. Under Foreign Sec
retary Cranborne announced in the House
of Commons today that tbe British, consul
at New Chwang reports that there haa been
no new re-occupation of New Chwang by
the Russians. Friendly communications on
the subject. Lord Cranborne said, had been
addressed to the Russian government dur
ing the laat few daya by the United States
and Oreat Britain independently, and the
Russian government in reply had intimated
that it would adhere to ita engagementa to
evacuate Manchuria, although the evacua
tion waa temporarily delaped. Russia had
alao explained that it had no Intention
of adopting any measure tending to ex
clude foreign coneula or obstruct foreign
commerce or the use of the ports. Under
the circumstances the British government
saw no sufficient reason for securing con
certed action between the United States,
Japan and Oreat Britain with the object,
aa suggested by his questioner, Joseph
Walton (liberal) "of arriving at a definite
agreement with Russia for . the prompt
fulfillment of ita assurance."
Chinese Officials Relieved.

reports that Minister Congsr, following In

ernment of the assurances regarding Man
churia which Russia has given the United
States, directly through the American
ambassador,' McCormlck, and also
through Ambassador CasslhL and aays
the Russian charge at Peking haa
given the Chinese officials similar
assurance. The French minister adds
that the Chinese officials are not gravely
concerned by Russia's alleged designs on
Manchuria, being fully satisfied with the
foregoing assurances.
The feeling here, which la strongly sym
pathetic with Russia, haa been greatly re
lleved by the official advices from Wash
ington, summing up the results of the con
ferences between Secretary Hay, Ambas
sador Casslnl and the Japanese minister,
particularly the contradlcilon of the re
port that Mr. Hay had telegraphed to
President Roosevelt relative to the ques
