At tha request of a mail butcher, Coun
cilman Bchroeder Tuesday Introduced an
ordinance repealing rule 4J- of the health
department regulation, which prohibit the
laughter of any kind of domeatlo animate
in the city. . This was done, according to
Bchroeder, so that the proprietors of small
meat shops might club together and have
beef, hogs and sheep killed In Omaha If
the packing hduae strike creata a shortage.
The little butchers fear that In tha event
of a meat famine the large shops will be
well stocked utf, .'while they will be with
out supplies in their smaller refrigerators.
iluyor Moores vetoed the resolution of a
week ago siumlllng the 19H paving specifi
cation and s majority of the council voted
to sustain him. His veto to Installing fifty
ttve new water hydrants was not upheld,
only O'Brien and Elmrnan sharing tha
opinion of the mayor.. Oft tha paving qjiea
tlih his news said:- .- -
1 return herewith without my approval
document No. .HH, passed by your honor
able body July 12, 1904. . .
This- document In a resolution annulling
the spnclncatlons for paving for 1901.
If thin resolution Is appftved It simply
means that no pavjruj , whatever will be
done in the. city of Omaha during the pres
ent year. Its effect even extends beyond
the present year and means that no paving
will ever be done while the existing law
stands in Its present iorm unless the ma
jority of the Hoard of Public Works will
yield to the minority of said board. You
can lead a horse to water, but you cannot
make him drink. A Majority of the Board
f I'ubllo Works has taken a derided stand
regarding uuving Hpeclllcationa and In sup
port of their pen It Ion have fully and clearly
demonstrated that their position is correct
and is one in which the law sustains them.
After having approved the specifications as
made and adopted by the board, I do not
think the mayor and council, any more
than the. majority of the board, should re
cede from their position at the behest of
the city engineer and city attorney. The
law gives the power to make paving speci
fications to the Board of Public Works,
not to the city engineer and city attorney.
It Is expressly provided In section 101a of
the charter, as follows:
"The board shnll make specifications to
be approved by the mayor and council for
all publlo works to be done under the su
pervision ef.said board,",
Aboat Differences of Opinion.
That there, should he a difference of opin
ion as to the best and most desirable specl-
cations for public work la to be expected,
but such differences are to be settled by
the board, and not -by. any single member
of the board. .To say that .specifications
which are within, the requirements of the
law and which have been duly approved,
are JUegaJ. la to stale, an absurdity. Even
tha city attorney, In ills desire to defeat
the specifications which have been adopted,
fi uia vf fifut An rf n crttas It n at hi omnlon
i that the cdut of making much needed im
provements under these specifications could
not be legally levied, but merely says that
"If our auDl uma court should, maintain Its
present " attitude towards special assess
mania im. t.r.,kn Klli ... aM V. ., t nnu " ...
clal assessment leytod to cover the cost of
paving contracts entered Into under the
present specifications would be declared to
be Illegal."
As already stated;' there naturally will
be differences of opinion as to the specifi
cations most- desirable for the city, but
within rthe' limitations of the law It is for
the Board of Public Works to make the
sperltlcatlons, The only limitation of law
Is that "tho specifications shall admit of
the widest latitude in competition in the
material to be used for paving purposes
and and for other public -work; they shall
not specify that the material to be used
hall be derived from any specific locality,
mine, quarry or kiln or from any par
ticular owner, but be simply for sheet or
block asphalt, sandstone, granite or brick
or other material In 4lk general terms."
There can be no doubt that the specifi
cations which have been adopted for 1904
are In -strict compliance with the require
ments of the charter. The objection which
seems to be most strongly urged to them
Is that they are, both In letter and spirit.
In strict accordance with the charter and
do not specify in detail some special kinds
of material that could be supplied only
by certain contractors, who desire a mo
nopoly of the paving business.
According to the city attorney, the city
might as well advertise for bids upon luu
head of cattle and reserve the right to de-
f termine the size, age and sex of the cattle
I after the award is made. This very orig
in Inal and Ingenious argument is one more
properly addressed to the legislature of
Nebraska than to the mayor and council
of Omaha; It was to prevent Just the
thing which would follow an advertise
ment dexiBiiatlng the size, color, age, sex,
etc., of cattle that induced the legislature
to enact a law requiring that specifications
for paving should be In the general terms
provided in place of in such specific and
detailed terms as to favor one bidder
and exclude all others.
I respectfully submit, in the- interest of
much- needed public improvements, that
work of making such Improvements should
be allowed to proceed and not be further
delayed by the tight under cover which la
being made on the existing specifications.
X therefore veto this resolution,
' Checks Hydrat Rash.
Cbnc'ernlng" the rush for water hydrant
Mayor Moores wrote as follows:
I return herewith without my approval
documents passed by your honorable body
at your; Uifct. regular meeting July 12, 1904,
nUmhcred as follows: ,i&i, 2627, HU8. htttf,
2630 DM1 and 3832. T
These documents are ordinances provid
ing for the placing of fifty-five additional
water hydrants and, J veto them for the
following reasons; v: .
There is absolutely no.jnoney in the water
fund to provide for this expenditure and no
rovlHlon exbrts whereby a tax can be
ivied for the payment of these hydrants.
It is simply out of all reason to pass ordi
nances creating a large expenditure of
money with nothing In sight to meet tha
Kama. Owing to th stupidity and blunder
I k Vacation Without a
V
t -
of tha Douglas eownty delegation at the
last legislature. In their anxiety to obtain
municipal control of tha Omaha Water
company, they failed to provide even a
tax that could be levied for tha payment
of our water rental. You will remember
that the United States court ordered your
honorable body to levy l mill for the pur
pose of paying water rental for tbe first
six months of the year 14.i This was done
end after paying said water rental there
remains but a balance of $7,(03.17 in tha
water rental fund.
The comptroller Informs me that the es
timated cost for the balance of the year
will be $48,015. Total estimated receipts for
1S04. together with money on hand, leaves
a shortage December 21, 1M, of $3R.7 S3,
which will have to rip provided for in next
year's levy, the same as last year's water
hydrant rental waa taken care of In levy
for Wot. ,
Is your honorable- body conversant with
the cost of placing a hydrant?
If not let me give you some figures)
Each hydrant means not less than 40 feet
of pipe.- , .
The smallest else, six Inches cost lla
$1 per foot, or
The hydrant coats W'lii
Each valve (say two to a hydrant) S
.urh. nr .......................... 0
Other expenditures

Total
This means' sn expenditure for Afty-nve
hydrants at fi06 each of 17. 77R. Added to
overlap already existing of $35,78.8J, means
iTM statement of deficit In Itself should
be Incentive enough for you to call a halt.
But even If 1 should approve these ordi
nances and the same be sent to the water
works company It would avail nothing.
Mr, Fairfield, general jnannger of the
Omaha Water company. Informs me that
heir attorney advises them against com
Diving wUh tha clty-a order for hydrants.
End fluu under existing complications re
garding the municipal Ownership of the
flan they would not place them as ordered
n fact, they have only placed three of
those a ready ordered. 1 am personally In
fa of applying outlying districts of our
cttv with water and water protection, but
with "no funds" and a large overlap star
ing us In the face, I cannot approve this
expenditure and therefore veto all of these
ordinances.
Paving em Jaekns Street.
Tha proposal to tiara Contractor John
Orant resurface Jackson street from Tenth
to a point between Eleventh and Twelfth
failed to carry In the council by a vote of
( to 1 The resolution that lost sought to
bav the Board of Public Work supervise
the work at the current prices for street
repairs. This Is the stretch of paving
which tha mayor had torn out against the
protests of the city engineer, and which
the former desires because of the Impend
ing opening of tho new Are engine station
at Eleventh and. Jackson streets. Council
man Nicholson declared In favor of allow
ing the mayor to pay for the work and
said he thought the executive would do so.
A resolution Introduced by Councilman
Evans was adopted directing the Board of
Publlo Works to advertise for bids for
paving the street Intersection at Twentieth
and Lake streets with brick block.
Councilman Dyball had a new resolution
put through providing for the repaying
with asphalt of South Thirty-second avenue
west of Ilanscom park. This time speclA
cations were ordered drawn by the city
engineer similar to those in operation on
Woolworth avenue.
Mayor Moorea refused to confirm the
appointment of two persons for the public
works department, because twenty pro
posed by the board had been turned down
by the council That body then proceeded
to approve about fifty names for the
eligible list.
Hew Estarlne Howses.
Tha request of the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners for a new fire en
gine station at Twenty-fourth and Cum
ing streets and the demolition of tha old
one, which la declared in a dangerous con
dition, was referred to the committee on
fire, water and police. The new station at
Twentyt-aeventh and Jones streets waa ac
cepted, the fire chief ordered to take pos
session and formally turned over to the
custody of the Fire and Police Commis
sioners. Advertisements for bids for tha
old frame house displaced here were or
dered. The Omaha Council Bluff Street Rail
way., company and. tha Omaha Electrio
Light and Power company filed $10,000
bonds to indemnify the city against dam
age to pavements. In accordance with the
new Zlmman ordinance covering this mat
ter. Councilman Nicholson, for the second
time this year, obtained an appropriation
from the general fund of $1,000 for cutting
weeds.
VASELINE NO GOOD FOR HAIR.
DaadrnflT Germ Thrives la It, as Well
a la All Grease.
A well known Chicago hair specialist In
vited tha Inter-Ocean reporter to come to
his office and see, under a microscope, how
the germ that causes dandruff thrives in
vaseline. The specialist said that all hair
preparations containing grease simply fur
nish food for the germs and help to propa
gate them. The only way to cure dandruff
is to destroy the germs,and the only hair
preparation that will do that Is Newbro'a
Herplctde. "Destroy the eause, you remove
the effect." Without dandruff' no falling
hair, no baldness. Ask for Herplcide. It la
the only destroyer of the dandruff germ.

BOUND TO RAISE COAL RATES
Bailro&dg Do Sot Beoeds from Determina
tion to AdfiDoe the Seals,
INCREASE MORE THAN DOUBLE AMOUNT
Estimated that Coaanmers 1st Oaaaaa
Will Pay One Haadred aad Fifty
Taoaisaad Dollars Extra
for Freight.
The special committee appointed by the
Commercial club to take up the matter of
an advance, in the soft coal rates from
Missouri, Iowa and -Kansas points to
Omaha and Lincoln, has returned from Chi
cago where it was in consultation with
officials of the various Interested railroads.
After going over the matter thoroughly
the committee ascertained that the roads
are set in their resolve to advance the ratea
from 14 to 29 cents per ton into this city.
This advance estimating It on all the coal
shipments for the year which will be af
fected will amount to about $150,000 addi
tional freight which the consumers of this
city will have to pay during the next year.
Tbe greatest advance In the rates will be
on steam coal and consequently the manu
facturing Interests of the city will be the
greatest sufferers under the - new rates
whloh are effective August L When It was
ascertained the roads would not recede
from the position taken that tha rates were
to be advanced the committee served notice
that everything possible will be done to
secure reduction of the ratea after they be
come effective. The committee pointed
out that certain conditions very unfavorable
to Omaha will arise under the new ratVs,
but the railroad officials either could not
or would not see the matter in the light
presented by the committee. A promise
was elicited that In case the conditions de
scribed do arise the rates probably will be
restored to the old basis.
Look for Relief Yet.
As the committee Is positive it sees the
matter In the proper light it Is of the
opinion that relief will be secured after
the rates have been effective a short time.
It was the understanding that the rates to
St. Joseph and Kansas City would not be
raised to meet the Omaha and Lincoln
advance, but after mature consideration
of tho matter tb officials of the roads
gave it out that an advanoe will be made
In the Kansas City and St. Joseph rates
shortly after the new tariffs to Omaha be
come effective, otherwise there would be a
broad discrimination against Omaha and
in favor of the two cities farther south.
The matter has been handled, entirely . by
railroad officials in Chicago, local officials
not taking any band. In the proceedings
The first announcement -was that the new
tariffs were to be Issued for the purpose
of readjusting the rates from some point
where discrimination existed. At that tlmo
some of the best Informed coal men. desig
nated the announcement as an advance
notice of a raise In nates under another
name, and it appears that the results have
proved their prophecy true. , ...
Rains Interfere with Trains.
Almost all passenger trains into Omaha
were from a few minutes to several hours
late this morning on account of the heavy
rains which have made the track very
soft. Rock Island No. 41 from- the east
was one hour late; Milwaukee No. 1 waa
three hours late and Wabash No. 1 waa
two hours' late.
The Northwestern ran two sections to
Bonesteel again this morning and it re
quired all the coaches that could be secured
by that line to care for the traffic. Mny
passengers were without seats when the
tralna pulled out pf the Union station this
morning. An- official who has been about
the depot for many years said this morn
ing that the travel during . the past few
days has been heavier than at any time
since the new station was built. . The depot
Is crowded at all-hours of the day and
night with homeseekera who are on their
way to the Rosebud. ,.

EASY T(L GET NEW SOLDIERS
Enlistments Come More Readily at
Local Reeraltlag Station Than
Officers Expected.
Twenty-five recruits have enlisted for
the regular army at the local recruiting
depot thus far during tha month of July.
The enlistments are unexpectedly heavy
for this season of the year, when there
seems to be abundant employment in the
harvest fields and elsewhere. The enlist
ments are Invariably for the Philippine
service and the applications are over M
per cent In excess of ths acceptances.
"I cannot say," said Sergeant Richards
In charge of the recruiting depot, "that
the prevailing strike has anything to do
with the enlistments. However, we have
had South Omaha pretty well placarded
with advertisements for recruits and eem
to be getting a few from there. Marriage
Is no bar to enlistment as a rule though
single men ars preferable. Very few mar
ried men apply for enlistment"

FLEMING THINKS IT TOO LOW
Reg-ares Offer for Jackson street Site
Less Than Worth, Thnngh
Board Differs.
Harrison A Morton's offer of $S.S00 for the
school district storehouse aite at 1S7 Jack
son street f considered too tow by Tax
Commissioner Fleming, although members
of the board say they think It Is a fair
price. The property consists of a 6fixlX!
foot lot which Is worthless for school pur
poses because of Its location In the heart of
the whoresale district. It has on It a small,
one-story frame building, built about thirty
years ago, now used as a storehouse and
aid to be worth very little.
East of the school district lot is one
of the seme slse owned by George A. Jos
lyn. Member Lower of the board Is au
thority for the statement that Mr. Jns
lyn will sell tbe property for Hfi.O'X). There
fore he thinks the school district lot should
be worth about the same, although It Is
nearer to Thirteenth street.
Lnst year the Jowly n lot was assessed for
I8.S0O with Improvements at $200, but this
year Tax Commissioner Fleming will as
sess the ground at $,000. The lot further
east at Twelfth and Jnckson streeta was
boM recently to C. N Dletx for $7,000 cash,
but the commissioner intends to assess It
at $9,000, believing it to be worth as much.
To the west of the school board lot ths
ground faces on Thirteenth street and Is
assessed at an aggregate figure of $14,000.

Few school district warrants remain out

a call for all warrants of this character
