The propoad paving of Railroad iwnui
v from (4 street to tha onnty Una haa
old-Umers had forgotten. L'pen looking up j
Ckld mapa in the city engineer'a office it waa
dlaoovered that the road waa originally laid
out in 184 and that It tu located between j
seventy-five and 100 feet from the right of
way of the Union Pacific Since, the
origin! road.' waa laid out building hare
ieeii erected and the roadway choved over
, so that It now run parallel with the Union
Pacific right of way. The priglnal road la
ail right u Ur tf the Hail-Way, house.
From that point aouth It haa been changed.
aiai ahow that the road. ir run on original
lines, would now run through Morrill a fuel
, atore and. through Kraua' grooery store.
In making this discovery the city engineer
la wondering what to do about establishing
the grade from Madison atreet to the county
line. Thl new grade la a stretch of only
1.800 feet, and unless there it a protect the
present roal will be considered aa the road
to be paved.. Aa the road now In use haa
been, traveled for twenty year, without
any remonstrance. It la presumed that the
city will proceed with its plan te eatabllsh
the grade and make arrangements for tho
paving. Engineer Ileal conaidera that vitri
fied brick or atone Will have to be used
aa there la so much wash that a lighter
pavement, such as macadam or Sherman
gravel, would aoon be washed out.
No estimate of the cost of paving has
been made yet, but tbla will be done some
day this week and the result announced to
the council. ' Under the provisions of tho
new charter thercity council has the right
to pave this road without the usual petition
of property owners, providing that no re
, 'monstrance exceeding t .per cent of the
property involved Is made., Aa there seems
, to be a general d eel re to have this main
road from the south paved It Is not thought
' that there, .will be any or position to the
, plan of paving ahe street. Should the road
be paved an effort will be made to have
(the Barpy county - commissioners make
erne Improvements In the road from the
county Una to Bellerue and Fort Crook.
- Board Tries Officers.
Three police officers had hearings before
the Fire and Police commissioners last
night. Charges had been preferred in reg
ular form by Chief Brings against Officers
' Billy MrCraRh and Edward Pierce, and
Pierce retaliated with chargea against Cap
tain Troutan.
McCralth waa charged with being cegll
f jent In . letting Bert Clarke escape. This.
"4 ''officer had been sent to Thirteenth and
Missouri avenue to arrest Clark for steal
ing a , calf. Clark wanted to finir.h his
upper, ajd McCraith permitted him to do
r so. Then he wanted to go into a bed room
and get his coat. Clark jumped out of the
window and got away. . It appears from
the statements made by Chairman Vanaant
that the entire affair was a mistake as
, Clark had a written order tor the calf, but
failed te shew It to the owner of the pas-,
f tura where the animal waa held. The en-
tire matter has been settled.
Officer Ed Pierce was charged by Cap
tain Troutan with being - asleep at ' fire ,
t, ball Nd.'I on-the nlrfct of August 1.
: Troutan testified that he failed to see the
officer on his beat, and he went to the
rear portion of the fire hall and found
Pierce curled op on a bench sound asleep.
From the fire hall Troutan went to the
residence of Chief Brlggs and called him
out to go with him to the fire hall to take
a look at the sleeping policeman. When
the chief and the captain reached the fire
hall the officer was walking his beat. Cap
tain Troutan said that he did not wake
Pierce, up because he wanted a witness, as
' the best of feeling does not prevail among
the members if the force.
In his own behalf Pierce testified that he
left his beat on Twenty-fourth street about
'1:30 A'clock and went to ' headquarters for
the frarpoee of being excused from duty.
Tha captain was out and so he west to
. the fire hall to take a rest. He admitted
that he anight have fallen asleep.
Captain Troutan was called next to ex
plain why he was reported asleep at Mtl-
ler'a restaurant on the night of July ZL
Harry Miller, the night manager of the
A llao. would not positively swear that Cap
vjalo Troutan west to sleep after ha had
his supper, but upon being pushed hard by
Bergqulat remarked: "It he wasn't asleep
he waa awful quiet for awhile." The tes
timony went to show that Troutan was at
the restaurant from midnight until t a. m.
Officer Frank Morton, who was on the
N street heat, testified that be went into
the restaurant along about 1:30 a. m. and
y asked if the captain had beea there. The
f night clerk pointed to the couch la the dtn-
Ing room, hut did not make any remarks,
Morton saw a form on the couch, but could
ttot swear that It was Troutan.
Captain Troutan, after hearing the tea,
tlmony. admitted that "he might have
leaned against the sofa." After this ad
mission Troutan tried to prove an alibi
by bringing- In Officers Lelpticn- and Blue.
Troutan asserted that these two officers ate

stated last night that the papers had been
prepared and that the filing would be made

from Davis, who waa directed by the
Board of Education to draw plana for a
high school building. The plans were ap
proved by the old board and Davla was
paid 11, MO on account. As ths present
board discharged Davis and authorised
new plans drawn it wants to recover to the

GEO. WEIGELJJADLY WOUNDED
XelghTeorly Qoarrel Eads la Saootiag;
ta Which Oaa Maa is Bit
Twice
A feud of long standing between the Norl-
mann family, living at ta South Thirty
third street, and the WIegel family, living
next door, resulted in the serious shooting
of George WIegel about T o'clock last even
Ing by William Norlmann, H years old.
Wallace WIegel. son. of ths maa who was
shot, and Willie Vols were playing with a
tennis ball in tha lot adjoining the -Norl
mann residence. The ball waa knocked
into the Norlmann yard. The Wiegel boy
went aftef It and was attacked by the
elder Norlmann, who chased him out of
the yard, and. It la said, struck him several
times with a broom stick. The father of
the boy who waa attacked waa in his back
yard at the time and came te the rescue of
his son. After some sparring WIegel
knocked Norlmann down and kicked him.
At this juncture William Norlmann stepped
out onto the roof of the back porch with a
revolver In his hand. He fired four shots,
two of which took effect. One in the left
leg and one In the hip of WlerwL Mrs.
Wiegel rushed out of the house, having
seen the shooting through a window, and
she asserts that Norlmann pointed the gun
at her and . threatened to shoot, but shs
spoke to him and he lowered the weapon.
When young Norlmann waa arrested he
had tha revolver In his possession. It had
beea reloaded, as It contained six cart-
rtdges. It was a tt-calibre weapon. Wiegel
was removed to the Clarkson hospital,
where the two bullets were removed by Dr.
Summers. At last, accounts Wiegel was
resting comfortably, and It is thought he
will recover.
The charge placed against Norlmann at
police headquarters was that of shooting
with intent to do great bodily Injury. He
waa later released on a bond furnished by
Robert Rosenswelg la the sum of 10.

SELECTING OFFICIAL PAPER
Otnnoilnif c Hear Argument ia Bee-Wer'.d
Herald Case and Defer Action,
RUMOR DECISION IS ALREADY TORMED
WoodrwtT aad Gorley for World-Her.
Preeeat the RespeetlT
lasses.
Ths council yesterday failed to decide
the question whether The Bee or the World
Herald Is entitled to do the city advertising.
After listening to arguments from the re
spective lawyera the councilmen went Into
executive session for an hour, adjourning at
noon with the Information that they would
meet formally Thursday morning and pass
Judgment. It is understood, though not ad
mitted, that a decision has been reached
which will be kept escret until formally
ratified.
Attorneys Woodruff snd Ourley argued
the case for the World-Herald and Attorney
Ccmnell for The Bee. The debate lasted
more than an hour, during most ot which
time the entire council waa present. At tor- '
ney Woodruff opened the argument by out
lining the situation from the World-Herald
standpoint. He said the two questions
raised by The Bee were whether or not
the World-Herald was the lowest bidder
and had the necessary 5,000 bona fide circu
lation In the city.
It had been mathematically demonstrated,
he asserted, that the price of 25 cents per
square Inch, for the first insertion and li
cents for subsequent insertions was lower
than that submitted by The Bee of 30 and
15 centa respectively, notwlthatanding the
fact that the World-Herald columns are
narrower than those of its competitor.
He described In detail the plan to Settle
the controversy as to the World-Herald's
alleged 6.000 subscribers by submitting lists
of more than 6,000 names.
Says Lists Are Opes.
"These lists are open 1o The Bee," con
tinued the attorney. "They had carrier
boys passing over the same route, per
haps more carrier boys than the World
Herald, and if these names were fictitious
they had every opportunity to find It out
and so prove. We may have more sub
scribers than ths lists submitted.
"The Bee selected 46s names which It was
declared would be proved fraudulent.
Twenty of these names we never claimed.
The boys. In some Instances, we admit,
made incorrect additions and ths totals In
every case were not exactly right. Our
claims were reduced to 5,312 names. Of
those sttacked we produced 178 signed
statements showing the parties really took
the paper and 156 statements from the boys
showing they personally delivered papers
to that number. Our contention Is that
our showing Is 6,237 names that cannot be
attacked, or 237 more than ths requisite
number."
Attorney Connell, for The Bee, told how
in past years the World-Herald had in
fused its morning circulation into that of
the evening paper in order to make a
showing, until the supreme court decided
this practice illegal. The Evening Bee,
he said, had an admitted bona fide city
circulation of more than 7,800 during the
entire past year.
'There are three reasons why we dispute
the claims of the World-Herald," said Mr.
Connell. "They have not shown or pre
tended to show that they bad a circulation
ot 6,000 during the past year, whereas that
Is the plain intent of the law so to re
quire. A showing on June 30, is not suffi
cient under the law, . The Bee Is, still, the
lowest bidder, and the World-Herald did
not have '6,000 bona fide subscribers cn
June 30.
Farsete of Low Clear.
"It is clear that the intention of the law
Is to demand a 6,000 circulation for one
year previous, because It is plain that un
less some such provision was made there
would be no safeguard from a newfperer
Increasing its circulation from a very low
notch to a very high one by all kinds of
methods, especially for the purpose.
"In the showing made by The Bee It Is
found that, based on the actual amount of
matter published during the last six yeara,
the difference in favor of the World-Herald
under the prioea submitted is about 33 a
column. Now, this difference will be leas
ened In accordance aa the amount of print
Ing increases. The city clerk has testified
that with the special registration lists,
proclamations and the like now required to
be published the amount will te greatly In
exoeas of that In the past. The figures of
the comptroller show that since IK to the
present time the World-Herald haa received
$640 more than The Bee for the same iden
tical advertising.
"Now. so far as the World-Herald's cir
culation showing Is concerned it is but let
names to the good, or in excess of 6,000.
This list Includes such places as the Thurs
ton hotel, with the transients marked up as
steady subscribers, and In other numerous
Instances were the allegations absolutely
Incorrect. In the entire lists there wore
sixty-eight errors in artthmetie and thirty,
four names of nonresidents. Affidavits
frottf five men sent out to Investigate show
that 361 alleged aubscribers are either not
taking the paper, have moved from the ad
dress or such addresses cannot be found.
It Is clear that the lieu have been reduced
to leaa than 6.000 names, if our testimony
Is to be given credence.
Cito foeelal lastaaee.
'Take such Instances as that of Mrs.
Mcintosh, who signed an affidavit declar
ing shs was a subscriber to the World'
Horaid. it was shown tnat shs took the
paper between June 12 and June If and
stopped it. She was an unwilling witness
and brought here against her will and yet
It was shown that aha was not a bona fide
subscriber.
"I claim that ths World-Herald haa
acted In bad faith and haa been making a
grand stand play all along. Here they
come in with tweaty-slx delivery routes,
inferring that they have more when aa a
matter of fact tbey have not A map
produced by The Bee show that these
routes cover the estlre city and yet they
had to go Into the highways and byways
and pastures and to hotels In order to try
to show more than 6.000 namea. Their
circulator admitted that the circulation
could be shown by the books and yet they
refused to produce the ooeke and the
presumption must bs that it tbs books were
produced the evidence would be against
them."
Attorney , Gurley took Issue with Mr.
Connell in the ststement tbat the law
contemplated a circulation for a year past.
Hia argument generally waa that of Mr.
Woodruff embellished with oratorical
trimmings.

Carry Case.
Hasel McDonald, a frail 13-year-old girl,
after a four year's separation from her
father, A. L. McDonald, haa arrived In
Omaha from Pleasant Hill, M. and In
atead of finding the Joyous reception she
expected, learned that her father was
under bond upon a charge of criminal Inti
macy with hla stepdaughter, her half
sister, Ooldle Curry. At her father s place
of employment, the John Deera company,
the news of her lather's arrest was given
her.
The little girl finally met her father at
the city laJL McDonald a hearing Is set
for Thursday morning In police court, but
it Is the opinion of the officers that he will
be discharged without prosecutlcn.
The publication of thla case and the ar
rest of McDonald probably will result In
the reunion of the entire family, which
became separated several years ago.
The father of G oldie Curry was killed
In Council Bluffs several years ago by a
load of glass falling upon him. Later Mrs.
Curry, who had three children. Gordon,
how a member of the Twenty-second In
fantry band, Ooldle and Lee Curry, later
married A. L. McDonald. To them was
born a son, now dead, and Hasel McDonald
After the birth of the latter Mrs. McDon
ald died and Gordon Curry, Ooldie Curry
and Hssel McDonald were placed In the
Iowa Children's horns at Des Moines.
Gordon Curry waa soon adopted by a Ne
braska family, Hasel McDonald by a fam
ily named Miles, who later removed to
Pleasant Hill. Mo., and Goldle by the
Peterson family, near Slater, la. Then the
three lost all trace of each other.
Hasel McDonald, however, often wrote to
her father, and several daya ago she wrote
that owing to the treatment to which ehe
had been subjected since her adoption, and
the further fact that Mr. and Mrs. Miles
had separated, she wanted to make her
home with her father. He at once sent
her transportation.
McDonald was arrested last Sunday on
complaint of Goldle Curry and his hearing
is set for Thursday morning. The police,
however, believe that it will not be possi
ble to convict him, even though the Curry
girl Is only 17 years old, as she is a mar
ried woman. Chief of Police Donahue has
received a letter from Rev. W. H. Slinger.
land, superintendent of the Iowa Children'a
Home, stating that the girl was married to
J. G. Peterson of Slater, la., and that he
had performed the ceremony.
The letter stated that Goldle Curry had
been admitted to the home four years ago
and that shs was later adopted by a family
named Peterson, of Slater. Some time
after that the girl returned to the home in
trouble and accused J. G. Peterson, a
brother ot the man who had adopted her.
Mr. Sllngerland caused the two to marry.
and In the "letter said they got along well
together until a few months ago. when
Goldle began to lead a fast life. Ehe then
came to Omaha, he said, and A. I Lan
Inghan, who waa sent here to look her up,
reported that she was living with her step
fucher. Peterson Is now suing for divorce.

The plans and specifications for the group
of twelve buildings Indicate an exceedingly
homelike and handsome eetabliahment and
their ultimata completion will result In the
moat convenient and modernly e?ulppel
sanitarium in the country. That such an

1,000-mile book for fX. These books are
to be Issued to bearer and any person can
ride on them. The Issuance of these books,
it Is said, will be the method signalling
the entrance of the Great Western Into
Omaha. The otheT roads will be almost
forced to meet such a rate, although they
arpue that they could get along very
well and not do so.
If such a book should be Issued by the
Great Western It would settle the Inter
changeable mileage book question at once,
as it would institute a t-cent rate, and no
person would pay 2k cents a mile and wait
for a H-cent rebate on a f.OOO-mlle book
when he could get a I-cent rate anyhow.
This new mlleege ticket Is good to be used
by anyone, while the interchangeable
mileage waa to be issued only to commer
cial travelers.
Passenger officials do not believe that the
giving of a 2-cent rate will seriously hurt
the earnings of the passenger departments
as tbe Increased travel under the lower
rate will more than make up for the loss
of revenue per mile. It will slso put a
stop to the one and a third round trip
excursion rates, as the regular rates would
be the same as the excursion rate now la.
All of the railroads Interested in the east
and west business moving to the coast
declare that the $45 round trip rate, put
In for the Grand Army encampment at San
Francisco, has materially increased the
through passenger traffic. Exclusive of
the special parties, which have not begun
to move westward as yet, the sale of tick
ets for the coast has more than doubled.
The most conservative estimates place the
number of tourists and excursionists that
will take advantage of the rate at 10,000,
while some of the passenger officials de
clare that 15,000 persona will avail them
selves of the rate. The Union Pacific, alone,
carried 1,000 persons out of Omaha on this
rate on the first four days that the tickets
were on sale. The Burlington and Rock
Island also report similar Increases in their
coastbound traffic.
Wonders of Coloalsatlaa.
According to C. E. Wantland, general
' sales agent for the Union Pacific land de
partment the western part of Nebraska
and Kansas and eastern Colorado are being
rapidly settled by farmers.
"Within the last Blx weeks," he said,
"the Union Pacific alone has sold more
than 250,000 acres. This breaks all records
for a corresponding period for the last ten
years. It is positive proof that landseek
ers believe in this portion of the country.
Omaha people do not seem to realise that
the city has a great future if this west
ern country, which is direcHy tributary
aad dependent upon Omaha, can be built
up with tbe homes of farmers. Land there
Is comparatively cheap. St. Paul and Kan
sas City have profited by the building up of
their territory by exploiting their cheap
lands, but now the land is all taken up and
Canada, the Dakotaa, the southwest i nd
Mexico can offer no better lands for farm
ing purposes than much of thla unbroken
land of western Nebraska.

Safe From Summer Complaints
AH mammas, and papas too for that matter, dread the heat of summer with
it's danger for the little folks, especially the babies. It is simply heart-breaking
to read year after year about the great death rate among children caused by
the summer heat. Yet it is easy to protect the infants against ail
summer complaints, because we know that all these fearful perils have
their beginning in stomach and bowel troubles, and we have a perfect
family medicine that will keep the delicate machinery in a child's
body clean, regular and in healthy working order in the hottest
weather CASCARETS Candy Cathartic. The plump, bouncing,
crowing baby shown here is a CASCARET baby. He teels that way
winter and summer. Nursing mammas take a CASCARET at bed
time, and it makes their mother's milk mildly purgative and keeps
the baby just right. Older children like to take the fragrant, sweet
little candy tablet, and are safe from colic, gripes, diarrhoea, summer
rash, prickly heat and all the mean troubles that summer brings with it.
