The Omaha View Improvement club met
last evening, with an exceptionally large
'attendance, with 1'reeldetit Callahan In the
'chair, he ha vine J oat recovered from a
severe (pell of Illness.
Two new members were elected and the
report of Secretary Monroe showeJ the
affairs of the' club In excellent shape.
President" Callahan announced the stand
ing committees for the ensuing six months,
which were approved by the club. Current
miscellaneous bills were allowed and the
oeveral standing and special committees
made their reports.
" The committee on conference with the
Pro pec t Hill Improvement club reported
"that It had not yet been able to meet with
the latter club to talk over the park prop
osition, but that a meeting will be held
.Saturday evening and the committee will
report the result of its deliberations at the
nest meeting.
rf The matter of the street grade in front
St Mrs. . Mary Lyon s property was re
larred to the standing committee on streets
and alleys.
- The committee on street crossings re
ported that new crossings are badly needed
at Thirtieth and Burdette and on Thirtieth
at Lake and Grant streets, as well as new
sidewalks along those streets at the points
Jiamed. and also at Grant and Thirty-third
atrseta. A ' new. . crossing Is also badly
jieeded at Thirty-third and Corby streets.
aThe prospect of securing a street light at
Thirty-second and Burdette Is encourag
ing and the committee has received as
auraacea from Councilman Evans that the
tight will be shortly forthcoming.
. The question of getting more lights and
ether Improvements at the west side of
the hill was discussed and the united ef
forts of the club will be put forth In that
interest.
The question of better itreet car facilities
In the west part of the district was dls
tilaeed and referred to the street car com
mittee to do what Is possible In the prem
ises. 1 Wants Maple 'Street Oaeaed.
. President Callahan thinks that one of the
tnoet Important duties the club haa to per
form Just now was to unite In a concerted
effort to secure an outlet on Maple or Lake
street from Twenty-fourth street to the
MlUtary road. ..He said that opening Maple
Street to the Military road would be the
means of making It the natural thorough
'fare from Benson to the city. Instead of as
H now Is by the way of Hamilton street.
The opening and grading of Maple street
between .these points will make Omaha
y lew one of the prettiest residence portions
of tho city and Maple street the most pop-
alar thoroughfare to Krug Park and Bon-
son. He advised that the North Bide Iru
provement club be conferred with in this
matter and that by the two clubs working
together this could be soon accomplished.
The proposition was referred to tho streets
and alUys committee, . .
K. T Morearlty. . attorney for the club,
Was present and addressed the club at
longtli on the subject of Improvement clubs
and their Importance to every, community.
He stated that the Improvement clubs of
the jelty owed mucu to The Dally Bee for
the kindness It had always shown the clubs
In advancing their Interests by publishing
their proceedings, and that It' was through
the efforts of The Bee that the -Southwest
Improvement club finally secured the build
Ing of the Twenty-fourth street viaduct. He
was decidedly In favor of the proposed
central club organisation that waa called
for Its preliminary meeting next Tuesday
avvnlng at the courthouse, and thought that
the Omaha View csub should by all means
be represented there. N-
. A motion then prevailed that the chair
appoint a committee to attend the central
club matting. The committee Is as fol
lows: ' Messrs. Morearlty, Hanrha, Olesen,
Charles Johnson, Monroe. Davles. Fobes,
Richard. Robinson. Carr and President Cal
lahan.
. Mr.- Davlea moved the sdoptlqn of the
following resolution, which waa seconded
by Mr. Carr: '
- Resolved, by ths Omaha Wrw Improve
ment club, That we recognise in The Omaha
rllv.Re an abl- chsmnlon and the great
eat and truest friend of the lmorovement
clubs of the city of Omnh. and extend to

EVERYTHING IN ITS TIME has
always been l he policy of The

this more apparently mnnlfcst than
In tbe arrangement of tbe Illus
trated Sunday Magazine Supplement-
Aa an adjunct to a great
newspaper, this especial feature of
Tbe Bee la kept up-to-date with a
fidelity equal to that bestowed on
the newspaper Itself. For thla
reason Tbe Illustrated Itoc com
bines tbe essential features of a
high grade inngnziiie with the time
line of a thorough modem news
paper. Its wei-k.y contents are
not only selected with care for their
literary nier.ts, but !so becausa
of their bearing on tbe Immediate
topics of the morunt. In thla way
tbe magazine not only 'supplements
the newspaper, out becomes a part
of It. And it is on this fact that
the popularity of The Illustrated
llee rests.
MlilSl'MMEl SEASON IS HERE, nd
IU with it comes tho train of. at
tendant coiditlons that belong to
this season alone. One of these,
and one that Interests everylwdy
Is chlldlife. The Bee staff puotog

the many beautiful spots in tbe
park system of which all Omaha
la so proud. A double page is given
over to the reproduction of these
photographs in tbe next number J
of the paper, and on the front page
will be found a typical picture.
These olctures ought to be as J
popular as any series The' Bee ever
published. They deal with a phase
of life In which everybody is .In
terested, and show better than any
words could possibly tell Just how
Jorous the season is for the young
folks.
WHERE FLAT DWELLERS MAKE LOVE
is tho title, of another mid
summer feature, giving an account
of a peculiar phase of metropolitan
life. It Is Illustrated from photo
graphs made In the parks of Xew

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Fira and Folio Board Surprised Over Action
of Attorn General
CHAIRMAN VANSANT MAKES STATEMENT
Bays Board Will Ceatlaae ta Aet
rll as Less aa It Retalaa
Aey Aatberlty.
It appeared to be quite a surprise to some
of the members of the Fire and Police
board to read In The Evening Bee that
Attorney General Prout had filed with the
supreme court a petition In quo warranto
and asking for a writ of ouster. It Is as
serted that the attorney general holds that
there Is sufficient evidence of doubt as to
the vslldlty of the law creating the board
to Justify him In filing the papers.
While trouble has been brewing between
the council and the board for. some time,
none of the members of the board appeared
to think that the attorney general of the
stste would take the matter up and file
a petition with the supreme court.
After glancing over the statement In The
Bee, W. B. Vansant, chairman of the
board, said to a reporter: "We are here to
; act as long as our authority is good. Fur
j ther we will act regardless of the mayor
, and city council and regardless of any
political pull from any source. We are
doing what we think best for the people of
South Omaha and propose to keep on. In
my opinion. It 'Will be a hard matter to
oust us, as possession Is nine points In law.
"We are not depending on the pay nor
what's In It We are serving for the good
of the people. 8o far we have done some
good and we can do more and propose to
keep on In the work we have started. Some
days ago we went to the council In good
humor and" asked recognition, but were
turned down. Now If the council wants
to throw dirt I guess we can throw some,
too. We don't want to do It, but now It
loos as If we would have to. As a board
we have the power and will use It."
Mr. Vsnsant did not specify In what man
ner the power of the board would be used.
A. L. Bergqulst, secretary of the board,
ssid that when the time arrived he rather
guessed the board would be able to meet
the Issue. ' Mr. Masson Is out of the city
and Mr. Nixon could not be reached.
Probably Will Readvertlse.
Up to last night the finance committee of
the council had not succeeded In selling the
overlap bonds at private sale. One of the
members of the committee asserted that
more thr.n likely the bonds would be re
advertlsed and another opportunity given
buyers to bid. It Is about the same with
the high school bonds. These bonds -are
not being considered and it may be that
the Board of Education will be compelled to
readvertlse.
Judge Klna- Imposes Sentemce.
The cutting scrape In which Maud Kinder
and Harry Armstrong were implicated and
in which Alexander Carlson was Injured
resulted yesterday In a sentence of ninety
days la Jail for Maud Kinder and thirty
days far Harry Armstrong. This cutting
occurred In the rooms of the Kinder woman
last Sunday night, and while not seriously
hurt, Carlson felt called upon to file a com
plaint. Both the -woman and the man will
be sent to the county jail to serve out the
sentences.
Sappo Faaeral Taday.
At o'clock this morning Rev. W. T.
Blggars will conduct funeral services over
the remains of Hiram Sappo at the Brewer
morgue. Twenty-fifth and N streets. Rela
tives front Argentine,' KanJ did not make
any iffort to have the remains, sent to
Kansas City for interment, so the funeral
will be held here. Joseph Chlnn, an ac
quaintance of the deceased, circulated a
subscription paper and secured enough
money to Insure Bappo a respectable burial.
Ceaaplalat Will Be Filed.
Assistant County Attorney Montgomery
has prepared a complaint against 8am
Tucker, who is charged with the killing
of Hiram Sappo. This complaint charges
murder In the first degree and will be filed
with the police judge today. So far no
reward has been offered for the capture
of Tucker. Chief Briggs and Detective
Elsfelder put on a wtse look when asked
about Tucker and intimated that they
know where he Is. Briggs is still writing
all over the country for Tucker, but as no
reward has been offered the police or otner
cities appear to pay little attention to his
letters.

The Highland Improvement club has been
organized with elghty-slx members. This
club will meet every Monday mgni at tne
Highland school. Wiley H. Socket Is presi
dent and John Carey secretary. It Is the
intention of the club to endeavor to secure
some Improvements in the southern and
western portions of the city. It Is the same
story, more lights, more water mains and
better roads. President Becket said that
the only way these Improvements could
be secured was by constant agUatlon.
Members of the council are to be invited
to tbe club meetings for the purpose of
ascertaining the feeling of the people In
regard to Improvements.
Retatalaa- Wall Completed.
The retaining wall at the west end of
the Q street viaduct was completed yester
dsy. This wall is of stone, eighty feet In
length, and of sufficient height snd width
to properly support the west approach of
the bridge. The construction of this wall
will do away with the piling at the west
end and will prevent the approach from
being washed out by heavy rains. Some of
the flooring at the west end has been laid.
The car tracks being put down are flush
with the flooring. .This method of laying
the tracks will be a great Improvement
over the old way and will doubtless be
the means of giving better service to cars
and vehicles and also prevent accidents.
Asstker Car Shartage.
' Packers are again complaining about the
shortage of refrigerator cara. Bo many
cars were damaged at St. Louis and Kan
sas City recently that the supply Is short.
For a time during the first rush cars were
diverted to this point, but even though the
rush has kept up the cars are lacking,
having been sent to take care of the fruit
trade. Experiments have been made for
the purpose of ascertaining tbe best, quick
est and cheapest method of renovating the
cars damaged in the floods. TDese experi
ments have not been successful and ths
result Is that many cars have been sent
bark to the shops to be rebuilt. This re
building will take some time and packers
look for a shortage for some time to come.
Saatter Wlas Case.
The Injunction case of Henry C. Sautter
against ths city of South Omaha, heard by
Judge Baxter, resulted In a victory for
Henry Sautter. Judge Baxter granted the
Injunction, which will prevent the city
from removing the fence or trees or fur
ther interfering with Sautter's premises.
The judge upheld the contention of P. A.
Wells, Mr. Sautter's attorney, and declared
the petition for the grading of Q street, be
tween Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth
streets. Invalid and stated In delivering his
opinion that the aectloa of the city charter
which provides "that if no protest Is filed
before the contract tor the grading la let
that the petition will be held to be valid"
Is of no force or effect whatever unless the
petition is valid In the first Instanca and
unless a good petition la Sled tbe city has
no right or Jurisdiction to proceed. This
decision, so local attorneys say, will have
the effect of preventing the rlty from asses
sing the costs of the grading that hsa al
ready been done against the property own
ers and the city will also be liable for any
damages that may. accrue to the owner of
the property by reason of this grading.

SUDDEN DEMISEJS A PUZZLE
Indications, Hewever, Pelat ta Tfceary
that Folsoa Killed Job a II.
John H. Sappington. colored, who has
been living with Meyer Wine at 1311 Cass
street, died under very peculiar circum
stances sbout 1 o'clock last night.
Sappington and all the other occupant
of the house had retired during the even
ing. About 1 o'clock another roomer,
Nathan Bwltzer, beard someone hammer
ing at his door. He was afraid to open
the door, but passed out through another
door onto the front porch and went around
the house. When he got to the back porch
Sspplngtrii was there, entirely nude.
Bwitser a. kcd him a question, and he re
plied:
"Don't talk to me. Send for a doctor;
I am going to die," ,
In the meantime Mr. Wine had been
aroused and came out onto the porch.
When he saw . that Sappington waa sick
he offered him a drink of water. Sapping
ton reaebced for the glass, but while In
the act fell forward onto hi face and
died. He was sitting down In a chair at
the time he fell.
The room which Sappington had occupied
was examined, but nothing could be found
which Indicated that he had poison. A
couple of glasses, which had evidently
contained beer, were the only evidence
that he had taken anything. He left no
written communications for anyone.
Police Surgeon McDlarmld and Schleler,
who were called, and arrived after the
man had expired, expressed the opinion
that It was a case of poisoning, but
whether taken with suicidal Intent or not
of course they were unable to determine.
Sappington was a man about 46 years of
age. None of his fellow roomer could
give any reason why he should commit
suicide. They had not heard him say any
thing which led them to believe that he
contemplated taking his life. He had
roomed at the number given for several
months. He waa a waiter In the employ
of the Union Pacific railway, employed at
the lunch room In the depot mornings and
evenings and at the headquarter at noon.
He had no relatives In Omaha, at least
none that are known to his fellow lodger.
but he did have a brother In Lincoln some
time ago; though whether he Is there at
the present time Is not known. '
Sappington has ben mentioned several
times in ther. local-'papers. Ha had been
quite a traveler aridrit Is said had visited
most bf the important cities of the world,
having served In tne capacity of cook and
attendant for various parties. He spoke
several languages and was well known In
Omaha, having lived' her several year.

But msdam declared that she would never

NEW YORK, July 17. A bench warrant
was laeued by Judge Thomaa In the United
States court at Brooklyn today for the ar
rest of George W. Beavers, formerly con
nected with the Postoffice department, on
an indictment found by the federal grand
Jury, charging him with accepting a bribe
of 1810. It Is understood that payment was
traoed back to the purchase by the gov
ernment of the' Brandt-Dent cash register
ing Machine company.
Postofilre inspectors found that Beavers
had a large account with tbe Nassau Trust
company of Brooklyn and are said to have
discovered that checks deposited there hsd
been given by 'former Congressman Drlgga
The warrant haa not yet been served and
It was rumored that Mr. Beavers could not
be found. It is said he will have until Mon
day to presont himself and that an ar
rangement has been made with his attorney
to enter a plea for him at that time.
Judge Thomas today listened to argu
ment on affidavit In support of a demur
rer on 'four Indictments found against
George E. Miller, as New Tork agent of the
Brandt-Dent Automatic Cashier company,
for the procurement of a contract and the
payment of money thereon, with former
Congressman Edmund H. Drlggs of Brook
lyn. Judge Thomas directed that briefs be
submitted on both side by September 1.
Counsel for Miller contended that at the
time of the contract Drlgga had not been
sworn in a a member of congress, but was
a member-elect. Judge Thomas said:
It ought to be made reasonably clear
whether a member of congress-elect Is to
be considered a member of oongresa

WASHINGTON, July 17.-The Issuance of
a bench warrant for the arrest of Georgs
W. Beaver, the former chief of the divi
sion of salaries and expense of the Post
office department. Is the culmination of an
Investigation lit progress since bis reported
sbsonce from his office last spring. A num
ber of matter affecting hi administration
have been p rob Mi, one of the first results
of which was the cancellation of 3,M0 pro
motion that had been passed on by him
to take effect at postoffice throughout the
country during the present fiscal year.
Subsequently other matters were taken
up by the Investigating officials. The case
on which the present action Is based Is a
more recent development. . Inspectors have
worked continuovsly on the matter, and it
is said evidence furnishing the basis for the
action by the federal grand jury was only
secured during the last few daya
Chief Postoffice Inspector Cochran haa
made several mysterious trips to New
Tork In connection with the case and In
spector Walter S. Mayer of Chicago, who
worked up the case against George W.
Machen. former head of the free delivery
service, has figured conspicuously in ob
taining the evidence.
' The authorities are now searching for Mr.
Beaver to, place hlrn under arrest. HI
present whereabouts is unknown. . The
postal officials were chagrined to learn of
the publicity of the action of the grand

165 feet deep. The water that comes from
It I a dear as crystal and almost as cold
a Ice. It flows right up Into a tank In a
little room back of the bar.. In the tank
John Franklin keeps kegs of beer, some of
which are connected with the taps at the
bar. In the tank with the kegs John Frank
lin also keep trout twenty-seven big
brook trout that used to swim In Mill
Neck creek before they were brought to
the saloon.
The bartender at Franklin' saloon
dumped four new "quarter" to the pool at
7 o'clock the other night. An hour later. Just
as FranKim started to work the beer pump,
something slapped up against the Inside
of the door leading Into the room con
taining the tank. It slapped again, harder
than before, and then there were more
slspa
John Franklin stopped pumping and
opened the door. Aa he did so, the biggest
trout In the tank turned a handspring on Its
fins and went flopping toward the bar.
Three others followed. Several more were
tumbling around on the floor beside the
tank, and some of those In the pool were
lumping clear over the beer kegs: some
were landing on top of them and sliding
down the sides, and all were beating the
water and splashing, aud rolling over, and
chasing each other like mad. .
Two male? were fighting. They had their
Jaws locked together, nd the water was
streaked with blood. One had its back
fin partly torn off. Some were swimming
on their backs, some were going tall fore
most and some kept their heads out of the
tank for a long time, while they wiggled
their fine and "treaded" water. All bumped
Into the beer kegs, and appeared to be
confused generally whenever they started
to go anywhere.
Now, John Franklin know those trout
about aa well as any man who haa fed and
handled a bunch of trout for five year
could know them. They had never done
uch stunt before, and Franklin told the
people In the saloon so at the time. But.
however much John Franklin knows about
the trout In the tank, he knows more about
the keg In the tank.
So, when a fine two-pounder rolled up
and slapped its tall hard agalnat the side
of one of the kegs. John Franklin discov
ered something. He discovered that one of
the "quarter" which had been put Into
the water full of beer at 7 o'clock didn't
contain beer at 8. A hoop waa broken and
the bung waa out
The next day John Franklin' trout lay
under the spout, with the cold spring water
and the air bubbles trickling soothingly down
their backa Their food for the day lies
untouched at the bottom of the tank. One
only la dead. It waa found Inside the keg.

DETROIT, July 17. -Ther was no lessen
ing of enthusiasm among the Bpworth
leaguers tonight, and Tent Ontario, Audi
torium Efcworth. the Detroit opera house
and the Central Methodist Episcopal church.
where tonight' mee ting were held, were
crowded.
The Field Near at Hand," "The Field
Far Away" and "My Part In the World'
Evangelisation" were the topics of the
evening at all four meetings.
Dr. H. M. Hamill of Nashville. Tenn.,
talked on "The Field Near at Hand" at
the tent meeting and his address referred
to the negro question.' "We hare made
the negro,:' he said, "a thing tj be batted
to and fro by political parties, and we
have, forgotten his religion in a large
measure. What we need Is to spend more
time in putting the grain of Christ In the
hearts of the black people."
In the Auditorium Epworth Rev. W. N.
Waldrup was chairman and Rev. B. B.
Leonard of New York spoke on the "Field
Far Away." He described Africa as the
land "which haa been mote terribly blist
ered 'Ond peeled by the cruel avarice of
man Ihan any other In the world." and
aid, "whether It be Englishmen, French
man or Turk, that makes conquests In
Afrfca,' the African Is his helpless victim.
"Neither is America free from tne shame
and sin of oppressing and cruelly treating
the children of Ham.; Brought . here with
out their consent aa human merchandise,
liberated after two centuries of slavery by
the exigencies of war, they- are now out
casts socially and politically and often
denied the trial by Jury; they are shot or
hanged or burned at the stake both in tbe
north and the south. American Christians
must see to it that the negro shall have a
fair chance In the race of life In America."
Twelve Bleetlags Held.
Beginning with a watch service at J0

junior work at the Central Presbyterian
church, and literary and social work at tbe
First Presbyterian church, and literary and
social work at the Fort Street Presbyterian
church.
At the junior conference Rev. A. F. Me-
Ksnsle of Toronto said In his paper on
The Problem of Our Big Boy and
Girls," that he favored having boys and
girls In separate classes in Sunday schools
after a certain age.
"My experience teaches me," he said.
"that boys and girls from 14 to It year
old are very difficult to reach and Interest

He urged care In the selection of leaders
and pointed out the benefits of athletic
as an adjunct to the church and Sunday
school work among boys. Girls, too, Dr.
McKencle declared, should have their ex
ercises, lessons In housekeeping, to interest
them In their work. He urged that boys
and girl converted In early life be care
fully guarded for, he said, they easily drift
into doubt and sin If they are not.
The general topic of the three afternoon
meetings was "Witnessing."
Rev. George A. Hough of Los Angeles
discussed "The Epworth League, the Boy
Problem." saying: "There are four things
that the church ought to attempt to do
for ths boya It must train them In habits
of Christian manliness, it must help them
In developing a true Christian consdsnoe,

At the - headquarter of the Christian
committee it is said todsy that there are
approximately 22,000 delegate In the city.
