Senator Millard has received a communi cation from the officials of the Geographical survey saying that they can take no action In the matter of the protest forwarded from Dr. David R. Kerr against the destruction of tJe native forest along the liver bank between Omaha and Bellevue. Some days sgo ths senator sent the letter from the president of Bellevue college, who was led to make the protest because of the rapid de struction of ths timber caused by ths operations of a saw mill. The officials of ths Geographical survey say the same point has been raised In the southern Appalatchla states, which passed laws memorialising th national government to pass the neces sary legislation. This has been done and as the timber which led to Dr. Kerr's pro test Is on private land nothing can be done except It be purchased by the state.

City prisoners during the past week have finished the Job of pulling ths little, fine weeds out of the gutters on Bt. Marys Ave nue from Seventeenth to Twenty-seventh, and will be moved to some other street ths coming week. Several complaints . have reached the city hall regarding -city prisoners doing this work, some of them based on the disinclination of residents te having petty criminals exposed on the publlo thoroughfares, or having them In their neighborhoods, and others on ths ground that the work should be done by honest men who need It. Bo far as the prisoners are concerned they are ananimous In the declaration that they would rather spend their time In nice easy Jobs like pulling weeds than In the cells at the municipal bastile, and In cidentally add that whin they work they get more to eat. . So far as the work Is concerned. It Is stated at the city hall that If the prisoners do not do tt It wll not be done at all, so that honest men are not bslng deprived of the work. These unpaved streets havs been rounded up and put In good condition the past week: Templeton, Twenty-fourth to Twenty seventh; Pratt. Twenty-fourth to Twenty seventh; Manderson, Sixteenth to Twenty, fourth; Tenth, Union to Bancroft; Bancroft. Fifth to Sixth; Sixth.

Reports from Denver state that the Christian Endeavors, who were there In convention, availed themselves of the op portunity to visit the Tellowstone and the west as no party of excursionists has ever done before. More than 16,000 persons came In on excuralon tickets, and It is entimated that two-thtrda of them took aide trips from Denver. The bulk of the travel was out to Salt Lake City, around the loop, up to Silver Plume and other well worn excursion points. Beside these trips the Yellowstons ranked next as a point of Interest, and fully 1,000 went into the park. All of the roads wars cramped for facilities for handling ths business to ths park, as parties of as high as seventy seven people went together, and the entire 1,000 entered the park within a week's time. Death Dao to Heart Disease. The verdict of the Jury In the coroner' Inquest over the remains of John H.

Ths Grand View Improvement club met last evening with a good attendance at Its rooms near Fourth and Lincoln streets with Chairman Sunblad presiding. Ths question ot Uniting wlU the central or ganisation ot the improvement clubs of the city at the court house Tuesday even ing was discussed and decided upon. Mr. Cook moved the appointment of a com mittee of Ave with Chairman Sunblad as a member ex-offlclo to attend the meet ing. The following were named as suoh committee: II. P. Cook, Frank Ellison, C. Paach, .A. Green and P. Christiansen. .The street cur committee made a verbal report to the effect that it had conferred with the street car officials, but nothing definite had been decided upon by the rtreet car company. The proposal te raise a sufficient fund to employ an attorney to asBlet the club In pushing the matter and to look Into its legal aspects was dis cussed and was deferred to the next meet ing of the club for further consideration. It was brought out during the discussion that Councilman Bach is opposed to the extension of the streetcar line to Center street as generally desired by the club, but that he is not averse to the line go ing out south to Bancroft street The rea sons for his objections to the Center street extension were not stated. It was held by some of the the three -South Slds Improvement clubs to be. held July 29 at National hall on South Thirteenth street. The secretary was directed to extend a written invitation to Councilman Bach to be present at the next meeting of the club which will be held Saturday evening, July 25. Attorney Carr and Gas Inspector Lynch are also Included In 'the Invitation. The special matter for consideration at 'that meeting will be ths street car extension question. MUSICIANS WILL PROTEST Expnlaloa of Delegates from Central Labor I'mloa ftrlags oa aa Appeal. Ths Musicians union is not to accept ths action of the Central Labor union Friday In expelling Its delegates and placing a fine upon the organisation without a pro test, and according to ths . statement of one of the prominent members ths matter will be brought to the attention of. ths Amerlcen Federation of Labor - through the national organisation of ths musicians, which Is affiliated with ' the - federation, from which ths Omaha Central Labor Union holds Its charter. "In the first place," said this member, "we were fined and expelled without formal trial; we were disciplined for keeping our men In places which now employ strictly union men In all branches over which any union holds Jurisdiction. We did nothing more that comply with the terms of our contracts with those places, and do not believe that any responsible labor organi sation will criticise us for that action. "The matter la particularly unfortunate for us at this time, for ths reason that our union It not united upon the question of ! affiliation. There are some of our members who do not believe that musicians havs anything In common with other workmen, and who look upon muslo ss an art which hnnlil nnt ha rnnnivlMl In nw - club that Sixth street i ,lth fh, tra.M T. m " ' had been graded to Center street for the 1 ,...,- hn.,v Knii.v. ,.. . ,-v ostensible purpose of extending the Har- ing mm ,houd b, tffliated, ,nd consider ney street line to Center, and that If the , earners ss laboring m t .h.. proper coercive measures were taken under the law, the much desired line would soon be In operation. The residents of that seo- tlon now have no street car accommoda tions nearer than Tenth street. The com mittee will have another meeting with the street car officials and hopea In spite of Mr. Bach's opposition to secure the ex tension to Center street on Sixth. It is sdmitted that Sixth street south of Center is In bad condition and that a further ex tension of the line than Center on Sixth would be impracticable. Demand for Lights. The matter of additional street lights was also discussed and It was shown that there were no lights on Fifth street from Woolworth to the Missouri river. One member ststed that some of the lamps In ths lower part of the district are not lighted oftener than thirty-five times dur ing ths entire year. The necessity of a light at Fifth and Hickory streets was shown to bs imperative, and that at the same tlms It would be the means of at tracting many visitors to that section In order to snjoy the magnificent view of the Missouri river valley from that elevated point Messrs. Jacobaon and Andersen were appointed a special committee to visit the South Side and Second Ward Im provement club meeting on Wednesday evening next to conf r with Gas Inspector Lynch on the subject of additional street lights for Grand View. The club has ben In existence but two months, snd though small In numbers, has accomplished much and hopes to ac complish mors In ths near future. Much Interest Is taken U Us Joiat meeting of sense. This majority now has to fight both sides of the controversy, and we are resolved to have the opinion of the highest body ss to our rights." MOTHER TRIES TO FIND SON W. S.
