Recent Order of Tollce Board rrohlb
Itlngr Katertalaments la Italldlnae
Oerapled by Salooas Results
la Abandonment of Plaa.
City Attorney Murdock has caused no
tices to be printed which he expects to
have served on all squatters In the city.
These notices follow the Instructions In
city ordinance No. 9S7, which prohibits
the placing, occupying or building of any
structure- of any kind on any street, alley.
Idewalk or public ground. Under this
ordinance it becomes the duty of th chief
of police to serve written nolle on all
person found holding possession of any
treet or alley by reason of the construc
tion of a, buiiuing.
A rasonrfble length of time Is given for
the re.roval of such structure. By failure
to comply the guilty party may be fined
520 and 15 a day for every day the struc
ture occupies public properly after notice
as been served. This ordinance was
passed Deoember 3, 1J0. While this ordi-
ance was never approved by the mayor,
no veto la recorded, and according to the
records the ordlnanc became a law with
out the signature of the chief executive
f tha city. .
Time and again an effort has been made
by the council and the city engineer to
remove squatters from the city street In
order to prevent a aquatter' title being
secured by reason of ten years undisputed
possession. Every year or two this ques
tion comes up and a lot ot squatters are
compelled to n.ove away, but they return
again as soon as the vigilance of the police
relaxes.
Thla time the city attorney wants to en
force the ordinance and ee to it mat
streets once cleared of squatters are kept
clear. City Engineer Beal is assisting the
ritw attornev bv orovldlng him with a
list ot all squatters now occupying publlo
property In the city.
Pramatlc Clnb Protests.
The Polish Dramatic club of South
Omaha had made arrangements to present
comedy at Kosciusko hall. Twenty-sev
enth and J streets. Sunday evening, August
18. for the benefit of th Foilsh school.
This entertainment has been declared off
by the Fire .nd Police board. At a recent
meeting of the board a resolution was
adopted prohibiting dancing or entertain
ments of this kind In buildings occupied
by Falcons. Testerday afternoon Frank
Madura, on of the members of the dra
matic society, called upon Secretary Berg-
quint In regard to the entertainment and
was Informed that the police Doaro wouia
not permit anything of the kind. Mr.
Madura explained that i0 had aireaay
been spent on costumes, tickets, etc., and
that the club hoped to raise $150 for the
Polish school by giving the entertainment.
Mr. Bergqulat, however, was firm, and so
the club haa given up the idea of produc
ing the comedy until later in th season.
I'stng Short Measare.
A number of complaint have been made
to the city officials regarding peddler who
use short measure. It la asserted that
tin measure are so dented that short meas
ure is given, while wooden measures have
false bottom. J. W. Cres. city weignmas
te. Is supposed to Inspect all weight and
measures and stamp th ame. Many ot
th nreaaure In tie by peddlers do not bear
any signs of having ever been Inspected.
The assertion is made that in some In
stances peddlers carry on their wagons an
inspected measure, but do not use It un
less compelled to do so.
Terrell Search Stopped.
The police have stopped hunting for
Moxle Terrell, the prisoner who escaped
rom the city Jail July 4. While descrip
tions have been sent to a number of cities,
not a single reply has been received. There
still a reward of 15 for Terrell, which
wa offered by J. M. Fowler, the day
Jailer when Terrell escaped. Ietective
felder says there Is no use wasting stamps
sending out any more description -of Ter
rell, as he will come drifting back home
some of these days and can then be readily
apprehended.
Held Without Bail.
Andrew Tucker was brought befor Police
Judge King ycterday and waived a prelim
inary examination. Tucker wa held to the
district court without any amount of bond
being fixed. Immediately after being bound
over Tucker wa taken to the county Jail
for safe keeping, while awaiting a trial in
the district court. If Tucker' friends de-
sir to secure bail for him now application
must be made to the district court.
Bo little interest appear to be manifest
here In th Tucker-Sappo matter that It
seem hardly probable that any effort will
be made to secure ball for the prisoner.

WOMAN IN CLUB ANO CHARITY
As an Innovation In the work of club ex
tension, wa th celebration of woman's
club day. on Monday, at the Beatrice Chau
tauqua, the afternoon program being given
over entirely to speskers in the Interest of
club work. In point of number the day was
something of a disappointment, Lincoln.
Falrbury, Wymore, Omaha and Beatrice
being the only cities represented. This was
largely due to the fact that th day was
set apart by the Chautauqua board rather
than by the clubs, no regular call having
been Issued. The largest delegation came
from Falrbury, among th women being
Mrs. C. B. Letton. vice president of the
fourth district. "The Woman' club of

dent, Mrs. A. Hardy, being assisted by the
local club women.' Club headquarter wa
established at Wlllard hall, on the grounds,
and there, a at the tabernacle, the colors
of the local club, pink and green, were Con
spicuously In evidence.
All of the visiting women wor bow of
the ribbon, thereby becoming honorery
members of the Beatrice club for the day.
Mr. W. E. Page, of Syracuse, president
of the Nebraska Federation, and Mrs. A.
J. Sawyer, of Lincoln, were the speakers of
the afternoon, the program also including
several musical numbers. Mrs. A. Hardy
presided. Introducing Mrs. Fage, who, after
expressing appreciation of th courtesy of
the Chautauqua board In establishing wo
man's club day, took for her aubject "The
Home, th Church, the Club." Sh said It
wa her wish to remove some of the misun
derstanding regarding women In club work
and first of all. that as a wise creator had
made home and children woman's first in
stinct, there 1 no danger of any other In
terest supplanting It. "But." she said,
"while home should always be th center
of woman' interest. It should not be its
limit." and then she apoke of the evolution
of women, adding that wlille the world
progresses prejudic dies hard and that
adaptation to time and need waa the secret
of success. - The 'home and church have
ever been woman's undisputed field, but
