Statement.
Building Commissioner Withnell, on the
Stand Saturday morning in the Ure paving
Injunction suit, testified that Paving Con
tractor Fanning had onred him S500 cash
and I10U a month If he would get certain
changes made In the specifications callinc
for separata bids for brick and brick block.
H also testified that Councilman Lobeck
said these were th same changes asked
by City Attorney Wright.
Mr. Withnell identified a copy of the
spec'tications altered with red Ink as one
so changed in his presence by Fanning,
lie said he showed them to Lohrck as soon
as Fanning had gone and told Lobeck of
ina oner, tie swore ro naa never receivea
a dollar ind had never been lr.tluenced.
On cross-examination Mr. Withnell said
Mr. Wright had tried to have many
changes made In the specifications and ad
mitted one ot these would do away witn
tho arbitrary power of the Board of Pub
lic Works to settle the paving formula,
Kot Clear as to That.
Mr. Withnell did not know If Fanning
claimed the brick specifications cut out any
bids by the Arms he represented, and more
over he did not believe they did to. In
answer to a question as to whether or not
the Barber Asphalt company had filed a
letter saying it could not bid under the
specifications on the paving of Park and
Woolwortn avenues. Mr. Withnell Iwlleved
some such letter had been received. He
said the Harber company had been 'run
ning the bluff" that It could not bid under
specifications, lie admitted the board had
never established a paving formula or

adopted paving tests for the work done by
the Nebraska Bltulithlc company on the
two avenues. In answer to questions as to
whether tests had been made on theso
pavements as to their resistance to water,
he said he did not know If any such tests
had been made, but the board had signed
for tests made by City Engineer KoKewuter.
So far an he knew the board never hail
tried to determine the quality of this pave
ment. He admitted he thought the tests of
Mr. Rosewa'ter had been largely as to the
per cent of bitumen.
That St. Louis Junket.
In regard to the 81. Louis trip Mr. With
nell said John Grant had paid for his room
and for four meals only. He said he him
self hud had transportation on the railway,
but afterward admitted this had been got
for him by Grant anrUrant also had paid
for his sleeping car berth.
Regarding the testimony of Fanning to
a conversation between himself, Evans and
Fanning, he admitted Evans had usked him
who drew the specifications for him. He
said his answer had not been "Hugh Mur
phy," but that Hugh Murphy hud given
him and Lobeck considerable Information.
John Grunt was put on the stand and
testified he had openly paid for th tr;.
Louis trip. He evaded answer to a ques
tion as to whether the board could ruin
an unfavored bidder under the specifica
tions by saying he knew the board would
be fair and not do anything of the kind.
Hugh Murphy was on the stand late Fri
day afternoon, and admitted, under cross
examination, the Board of Pyblc Works
could make a contractor whom they wire
against lose money on paving, and could
force him to lay a bud pavement, which
would have to be resurfaced under the
guarantee. He admitted a certain amount
of assistance furnished Lobeck and With

Demand Aronses Suspicion that Coun
ty's Poor May Be at the Horse
how.
The general interest In the horse show
was made plain at the regular meeting of
the county commissioners by the applica
tion of Superintendent Thomas McClana
hun to be permitted to employ a seamstress
at the county poor farm. If E. P. Peck
or Dr. Gray or any other of the men who
have woiked so long to arouse interest
and support for the first Omaha horse
show could, have been present In the com
missioners' room when this document was
read they would have been touched by tho
public spirit of the poor farm people. Mr.
McClanahan asked for the seamstress for
thirty days. He did not say' In so many
words the female Inmates had demanded
the cervices of an expert in preparing their
costumes for the opening night, but such
might be judged by his brief communica
tion. The commissioners allowed the re
quest promptly. Whether or not a party
from the farm will occupy one of the boxes
could not be learned.
Bids for supplying 300 tons of hard coal
and 100 cars of soft roul were opened, four
Arms competing, and were referred to tho
court and Jail committee. A communica

SHOOTS AT SELF IN GLASS
Coenlne Victim Mistaken Ills Reflec
tion for IiimHlnnry Pnraner and
Flrea Into Mirror.
Marlon Bullett, colored, gave another ob
lect le.son Friday night of the terrible
effects of the habitual use of cocaine.
Bullett arrived from St. Louis a few days
ago and engaged a room at the Browi
lodging house, 201 North Twelfth street.
Friday night, after the other roomers had
gone to sleep, the report of a pistol shot
rang through the house and the hurried
movements of a man running through the
hall and out of the front door was heard,
The police station was notified and an In
vestigation made. Bullett shortly after
ward was arrested at the Midway resort.
The colored man's story was that he took
an overdose of cocaine, which worked on
his mind In the usual manner by mustering
an army of imaginary enemies. Bullett
tried to sleep but could not, and the 'longer
he tossed on his pillow the more numerous
and aggressive grew the tllusionury an
tagonists.. He pulled tho covers over his
head, but still his enemies would haunt
him by Jerking the covers off again.
Bullett grew more desperate as the mo
ments passed and. Jumping out of bed, mis
took his reflection In a mirror for one of
his pursuers. He then grubbed a revolver
and shattered the glass with a shot. Hastily
donning a few garments he made a quick
exit.
Bullett was arraigned In police court on
the charge cf discharging firearms In the
city limits and was fined J20 and costs.

QUEER OLD MAN PASSES AWAY
William E, Beverly Diet Poor in Spite of
Onoe Lucky Fame.
NOTED AUTHORITY ON LIVE STOCK TOPICS
spends Quarter of Century In Omaha,
Where Ills -Career la Check,
eied Marries at Almost
Seventy.
William H. Beverly, well known In
Omaha for a quarter of a century on ac
count of his unique characteristics, died
Friday night at the Wise Memorial hos
pital. Mr. Beverly was 73 years of age.
For six months he had suffered from heart
trouble, lie was taken to the hospital last
Monday by his son, William B., who came
from Geddes, S. D to look after his ven
erable father.
William H. Beverly has been character
ized by many as a second George Francis
Truin, being in many respects like the
famous eccentric. Bc-verly was born In
Providence, R. I., and in early boyhood
moved to Illinois, where he became famous
as a breeder of shorthorn cattle and other
fancy live stock. His name appears on
muny pages' of the beat American works on
the subject of live stock, it being recorded
that In a number of instances some of the
products of his breeding farm brought as
high as $5,000 a head. He won over 600
prises at fairs and expositions. ' v
Being of a studious disposition, Beverly
allowed his mind to run te political and
social schemes to . the detriment of his
business, until he lost what financial acu
men, he had, and subsequently failed.
He came to Omaha nearly twenty-five
years ago, and during his residence here
engaged in different pursuits, being of late
years an insurance solicitor. At the time of
his death he was practically without re
sources, being assisted by his children for
some time. He lived alone at 2019 Martha
street since the recent separation from his
second wife. He was a member of the
Omaha Philosophical society.
Beverly and the Asaesaov.
On a recent occasion a tax assessor called
on Mr. Beverly and put the usual questions,
to which Beverly made reply:
"Here is a table I made out of one-third
of an empty box I bought from Bill Hay
don for 25 cents, which make the value of
the table 8Vs cents; out In the yard you will
find' six tomato pfants, and here are some
egg shells. Now you can make your assess
ment." Borne ears ago he sold lightning rods
In the country near Omaha. An Omaha
physician met him on the street and said:
"Beverly, a man tit your years and expe
rience ought to know better than to sell
rods In this day and generation."
"I know that," replied Beverly, "but I
Just sell them to keep other agents awsy
from the places where I make a sale."
Mr. Beverly Is survived by three sons and
a daughter. William B. lives at Oeddes,
8. I).: Frank resides at Oakland. Cat; Jo
sephine Is now at Dallas, Tex., and Hugo,
t years of age, the Issue of his second mar
rtoe. Is now In Omaha with Mrs. Potter.,
his second wife, now dlvrreed.

BrooUrr Washington of the Weat
Arrives Late, bat in Time to
Addreaa Meeting.
Saturday morning's session of the African
Methodist' Episcopal conference was de
voted largely to conference dl'trlct reports.
President W. 1. Vernon of the Wtsleyan
university at Qulndaro, Kan., addressed
the conference briefly along educational
lines, prior to the beginning of the regular
buslnesa session. The afternoon session was
confined to the completion of various di.
trlct conference and financial reports and
was wholly o fa buslno nature.
The conference will close Monday, at
which time the conference assignment fot
the ensuing year will be announced.
On account of Prof. Vernon being unable
to arrive In Omaha in time Friday' night's
services were held at 8t. John's Methodist
Episcopal church, were conducted by Rov.
H. W. King of Lawrence, Kan. Friday
was devoted to the educational work of
the ohurch and the speaker took for his
text. "Go Te and Teach Them-"
The Rev. King opened by quoting Shakes
peare's comparison of life and the stage,
and said that all men had their parts to
perform In this world. By their lnterpre
tatlon of their parts they teach others, and
If their parts are rendered Imperfectly they
aru giving to their fellow -man a wrong
interpretation of life.
"Therefore," said he, "before you can
teach others, you. must learn yourself. The
great cry of the great men of our race is
eduoate, educate, educate. Only by educa.
tlon shall we be able to take our pluoe
with the world. And above all, get a
Christian education. Learn of Him who
taught peace on earth, goodwill to all men.
Learn of Him how to live, learn of Him
how te die. He is your best master, and,
believe me, the teaching Is pleasant. With
JUn as a guide and teacher, men have
written and worked, and written and
worked so well that today all admit that
the best literature and the best work Is
that that has been done In the interests
of Christianity."
A reception .was given to the delegates
at the conclusion of the services,

EVANS TO REPORT NEXT WEEK
Chairman of Council Committee on
Telephones Prarfnlsea Action on
Rate Deduction,
Chnirman Evans of the council committee
on railways, telegraphs and telephones has
announced that he will bring in a report
on the telephone rate reduction ordinance
next week. He declines to Intimate what
the character of the report will be.
, It Is now said at the city hall the Ne
bruska Telephono company has decided to
submit to a decrcuso in the charges for
residence 'phones provided the rates for
business instruments are maintained, as at
present. A councilman said:
"I have it on pretty good authority that
the company is willing to cut the residence
rates slightly. I think the report the coun
ell will make will recommend some action
of this kind. Meanwhile A. B. Hunt is still
trying to get the way cleured for an ap
plication for nn Independent franchise for
an automatic exchange service. I under
stand that Just as soon as the cut rate or
dinance la disposed of some way or another
he will come In with his proposition."
