PAVING CONTRACTOR WANTS TO BE SURE
Mayor Koalakr Indicates There Will
Be fio Change In Appointive Of
Scea Adklns (or President
, of the Council.
The last meeting of the present city coun
cil before the final seKslon on Monday
tilght next was held last evening- Only
four members were present. Smith and
Broderlck being- the absentees. Eight or
dinances relating to special improvements
which had been acted upon by the Gourd
ef Equalisation and reported on by the
Judiciary committee were passed and will
be signed by the mayor today. The sign
In n of these ordinances will rrovlde for
the cost of Improvements ulready made by
petition ot the property owners.
Two communications were received from
A. H. Murdock, city attorney. In relation
to claims filed by the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners. Una related to the
salary of A. L. Hergqulst as secretary of
the board and the other to the allowing
of the printing bill contracted by the
bo.rd. Mr. Murdock recommended thut
both the Bergquist salary rlalm and the
printing claim be turned down. The coun
cil, acting upon the recommendation of
the attorney, adopted rfho report and the
clslms. as far as the present council Is
concerned, will not be allowed.
County Tressurer Fink has requeued
City Treasurer Howe to prepare a list of
delinquent taxes, such , as pertain to the
scavenger law. In order to do this the
treasurer will be obliged to employ ad
dltioral help. The council directed the
treasurer to employ , what help h Deeds draft plana for a six-room addition to the
and get the list of delinquents up as soon I Uncoln school building.
A committee, composed of Loeehner,
as possible.
After a number of small tax matters
were adjusted the council adjourned to
meet next Monday night, when the vote
cast at Tuesday's election will be can
vassed. It I. as been suggested by Contractor Han
non and City Engineer Beal, as well as
others, that the special Improvement bonds
for tho grading, curbing and paving of
South Twenty-fourth street and Railroad
avenue be sold before work commences.
In talking of this Improvement yesterday
Mr. Beal said he thought it would be a
good Idea to have the bonds sold before
the work was done, as It mlgh be possible
that attorneys for bond buyers would find
some flaw in the city charter giving the
right to the city to do a certain amount
of paving each year.
Dan Hannnn, who secured the contract
for the grading, curbing and paving In
thli new improvement district, stated last
evening that he Intended to bring this
matter to the attention of the city council
us soon after election as possible. The
estimated cost of the Improvement Is $76,000,
but as the cost, to the street car company
for Its portion of the work will amount to
about $14,000. the city will not be com
pelled to IsRue bonds exceeding $60,000. It
is the understanding in municipal circles
that this matter will be one of the first
subjects of Importance to be taken up by
the new council. Until there is some de
cision on th legality of the charter In
regurd to this section the work of making
the Improvements contemplated will not
be commenced.
Board Purchases Furniture.
Thursday night the Board of Education
met In tdjourned session and purchased a
laig.i quantity of furniture for the new
high school building This purchase con
sists of uchool seats, desks, opera chairs
for the Auditorium, desks for principals

will be another meeting of the board on
next Monday night.
Adklne (or President.
Already there Is talk of the reorganiza
tion of the city council. Wesley P. Adkins,
from the First ward, on account of his ex
perience In municipal affairs, Is being
pushed by his friends for president of the
council. Judging from surface Indications
Adkins will not have any trouble In being
elected president. Next to the president
the chairman of the finance committee Is
of the most Importance. Then comes the
chairman of Judiciary and so on down the
line. It Is thought now that there will be
no difficulty In organising the new council
when the time comes.
That Tardy List.
Elnce Superintendent McLean of the pub
lic schools offered a blue pennant to the
schoolhouse having the least tardiness In a
month there Is quite a rivalry among the
pupils of the different schools. Just now
the Madison school floats the pennant. For
two school weeks the West Side, Brown
Park, Madison, Highland and Corrlgan
schools have not had a single cane of tardi
ness. Hawthorne, Lincoln and Jungmann
schools each report one case of tardiness
In two weeks. The principals of the schools
as well as Superintendent McLean and the
members of the Board of Education, are
greatly pleased over the good work that la
now going on. Mr. McLean said Isst night
that If the rivalry keeps up It will not be
long before every schoolhouse In the city
will be floating a blue pennant for a month
at least.
ratrlck Rowley Dead.
Patrick Rowley, one of the pioneer resi
dents of South Omaha, died at his home,
il N street, last night. For a number of
weeks Mr. Rowley suffered from a severe
cold, then the grip and then pneumonia set
In, which Is given ss the cause of death.
The deceased was one of the best known
men In the city and leaves many friends,
who deeply regret his death. During the
early days In South Omaha Mr. Rowley
was a member of the city council and was
a prominent member of the democratic
party. No funeral arrangements will be
made until today.
Fire Limit Ordinance.
Not a great while ago the city council,
with the mayor concurring, passed an or
dinance extending the fire limits and pro
hibiting the erection of frame buildings
within the limits. This ordinance Is not
being obeyed. There Is a frame shanty
being erected In the alley Just south of M
street and west of Twenty-fourth. A good
sised frame barn Is nesting completion In
the alley between N and O streets east of
Twenty-sixth street. Both ot these build
ings are being put up In violation of the
present Are limit ordinances.
Mayor Koataky'a Appointees.
In talking about his official family yes
terday Mayor Koutaky said that as far as
the appointive offices were concerned he
did not contemplate any change. City
Engineer Beal will, of course, remain where
he la Minser, Mr. BeaJ's asslatant, will
stay as well as the rest of those who are
appointed by the chief executive.
It Is understood that Treasurer Howe will
retain E. L, ,Oustafson In his office as de
puty. It was stated on what Is considered
good authority last night that City Attorney-elect
LamSert would name Harry B.
Fleharty as assistant city attorney. It
is expected that Mr. Gillan. the new city
clerk, will select Frank Burnesa as his
deputy.
ORCHARD HILL ON ITS EARlr.
Improremsnt Oiub .Session Tnrned Into an
Indignation Meeting.
REAL ESTATE AGENTS GIVE MUCH OFFENSE
Ten free trips to the World's Fair esch
Propose Erection of Cottages That Do
Not Come Ip to Dimensions or
Pretensions Deemed Proper
for Lacnlltr.
Suppressed anger was the principal mani
festation at the meeting of the Orchard
Hill Improvement club held last night to
consider the building of two cottages at
Fortieth and Seward streets by Shinier &
Chase. The members of the Improvement
club seem to be of the opinion that the
cottages when built as planned will be a
detriment to the community, and every ef
fort is being put forth on the part of the
club to prevent their erection.
President Buchanan opened the meeting
with a brief address on the subject In
hand, and reported that he had waited
upon Mr. 81ilmer as one of the committee
appointed at a previous meeting to see the
builders and request that they change their
plans; that Mr. Shinier had at first refused
to consider any change, but later looked
like a man who would be willing to accede
to the requests of the club, although no
promise was elicited. He described the
cottages and said lie did not believe they
would be an ornament to the community.
Dr. Mason arose to address the meeting,
when Mr. Blilmer entered. The speaker
said he was opposed to the erection of the
buildings. He expressed himself as feel
ing that the corner where the buildings
are to be put up is one of the best in
the addition and should have nice houses.
Mr. Shlmer was called upon by the chair
man, but said he had Just come to hoar
what was said, and did not believe he
would take any part In the argument.
Each member of the club was called upon
by the chair to express his or her views
concerning the matter In hand. Almost to
a member they spoke against the contenv
plated Improvements. One speaker said he
believed Mr. Shlmer had the right to do
as he pleased with the property so long
as he had bought and paid for It. He even
went so far aa to sny he did not believe
it any of the club's business what Mr.
Shlmer decided to do with the lots.
No Sentiment la Matter.
After all had finished Mr. Shlmer was
again called upon and responded by saying:
"There is no sentiment in this matter. It
Is plain business to nie. H does not ap
pear to me to be a question of what either
of ua would like to do. For my part I
would like 'to build a V, house there If
I thought it a good business proposition.
We are going to build houses as good as
we think the location will permit."
During the entire meeting things looked
squally, but the nearest outbreak occurred
when Mr. Shlmer informed the club that
his partner did not take enough interest
in the matter to visit the meeting. Presl
dent Buchanan responded to this remark
by saying: "Take our regards back to
Mr. Chase and tell htm we are glad be did
not come. We are very much obliged to
you for taking the trouble."
The meeting cloaed with matters prac
tically in the same condition as when It
opened.
Relative to the two cottages proposed to
be built in the Orchard Hill district near
Seward and Fortieth street the builders
said last evening: "We cannot see why
so serious objection should be hud against
these buildings. Instead of their being
cheap tenement houses, they are to be
modern cottages in every respect, with
cement cellars, porcelain bath and toilet.
nelghborhood. The lots upoa
they are to built will be neatly ter
raced and one of the houses Is to be a
story and a half structure of six rooms,
the other a five-room, one-story cottage,
both to be of modern architecture with
celled cornice, neat porches and bay win
dows. They are not to be built for rental
purposes but for homes. We recognise
the fact that there Is a dearth of small
cottages In Omaha and to meet this de
mand, that is constant, we have decided
to put up these cottages."
FIND MRS. BOTKIN GUILTY
Jory Rrtnrns Verdict In First De
gree and Fixes Penalty at
Life Imprisonment.
SAN FRANCISCO. April . The Jury in
the "Botkln case late tonight returned a
verdict of guilty of murder In the first de
gree and fixed the penalty at imprisonment
for life.
Mrs. Cordelia Botkln was charged with
having poisoned Mrs. John P. Dunning nnd
Mrs. Deane, both of Dover. Del., daughters
of ex-Representative Pennington, five years
ago, sending them a box of poisoned candy.
The cause alleged was her love for Mr.
Dunning. Mrs. Botkln was arrested at
Ban Francisco, where she has been kept
In custody, notwithstanding attempts of
the Delaware authorities to have taken
her to that state for trial.
In 1898, Mrs. Botkln was found guilty and
sentenced to life imprisonment. She so
cured a new trial, which was begun on
March 10.
Mrs. Botkln Is the youngest of three
daughters. Brownsville, Neb., was named
after her father, and the family lived there
until H6, when they moved to Kansas
City. Miss Cordelia Brown married Wel
come A. Botkln, cashier of a Joplin, Mo
bank. He was later associated with a
Kansas City bank and they lived for a
while In that city up to 1S85 when Mrs.
Botkln went west.
Since the first trial, Mrs. Pennington,
whose testimony ' largely convicted Mrs.
Botkln, has died. Many witnesses. Includ
ing Mr. Dunning, were brought here from
the east to testify.
