LMT Artenaast tr Desired.
Matters Unit Be Cleared Before- a Thaw or
Basements Will Be Flooded.
SEWERS MAY BE UNABLE TO CARRY WATER
No Panda la City Treasury to Enable
City to Do the Work and Prop
erty Owners Most Do It.
Themselves.
City officials sre beginning to realise that
In the event of a rapid thaw conditions
would be serious aifl the eify' likely to ex
perience another flood such as was wit
nessed In 1S81. The large quantity of snow
now covering the streets Is considered the
chief source of danger, as In the event of
a sudden and rapid thaw the sewers would
be entirely Inadequate to carry off the
water and the lower portions of the city
would be quickly flooded.
"Conditions at present are more serious
than they were at this time the year of the
big flood," was the statement of Chief of
Police Richmond yesterday. In explanation
he said that there was at present consid
erably more snow on the ground than there
was In 1W1 prior to the flood. As a partial
preventive Chief Richmond Insists that the
gutters must be opened up and cleared of
snow so that when the thaw begins the
water can find its proper outlet.
The city ordinances require owners and
occupants of abutting buildings to remove
all embankments of snow four feet from
the sidewalk curb and Chief Richmond
stated yesterday that he Intended to see If
this ordinance could not be enforced. "The
gutters, at Wast In the business portion of
the city, must be cleared and the business
men will have to attend to this at once. If
this Is not done and there Is a sudden thaw
nothing can prevent the water running
over the sidewalks Into the basements of
the buildings. It Is a case where preven
tion Is far better than cure, and I expect
to receive the co-ojeratlon of the business
men In this matter. If they all lend a hand
it will be but a small matter for the in
dividual." Pearl Street Blockaded.
Complaint has been made of the condi
tion of Pearl street between Broadway and
First avenue. Snow from the roofs of the
abutting' buildings has been shoveled off
Into the street until It la several foet deep
on each side of the car tracks, which af
ford the only passageway for vehicles. The
owners of the buildings from which the
snow has been thrown Into the street,
Chief Richmond said yesterday, would be
required to haul It away.
Beyond leveling the embankments . In a
few places the motor company has as yet
done nothing t alleviate the, conditions
caused by the sweeping of the snow from
It tracks. It has falfed to open up any of
the crossings, and at the principal crossings
on Broadway and Pearl and Main streets
people are compelled to wade through snow
a foot and more In depth when crossing
the street. The attention of the city offi
cials has been called time and time again
to these conditions, but nothing has been
done. Chairman Tlnley of the streets and
alleys committee has made no move to
have the crossings opened for the simple
reason that the streets and alleys fund was
long since exhausted and that nothing re
mains In the city treasury to meet such
contingencies as now exist. At the city
hall yesterday It was stated that some
thing would be done to clear the snow to
day from the principal street crossings,
even If the aldermen themselves had to
shoulder shovels and do the work.
SCHOOL BOARD DOVBTf ITS POWER
Will Investigate Before Issolnsr Vie.
claatlon Order.
Questioning Its authority to keep a pupil
out of school If Its parents refused to al
low itvto- be vaccinated the Board of Edu
cation at a special meeting last night de
cided to first confer With the Board of
Health before carrying out the latter's or
der that It require all children attending
the public schools who have not been ef
ficiently vaccinated within the past three
years to be vaccinated. President Hess and
Attorney Emmet Tlnley were appointed as
a committee to confer with the Health
board..'
The consensus of opinion of the members
of the board, as expressed at the meeting
last night, was that it might Just as well
close the schools as attempt to enforce the
order of the Board of Health. From pro
tests against the enforcement of the vatici
nation requirement. Which had poured In
during the day on the members of the
board, they were of the opinion that In the
event of the order being Issued, the parents
of a large number of children would keep
them out of school, while on the other hand
a large proportion of those who might be
vaccinated woald be obliged to stay out of
school on account of the effects of such
vaccination. .
While the board commended the efforts
of the Board of Health to prevent the
spread of the disease and expressed itself
as willing to do all In Its power to further
such efforts, the members questioned
whether the board had' such authority im
posed In It by taw. "This, was a question
which should be decided In advance," sug
gested Attorney Tlnley, "and before we
take any action It would be best to confer
with the health authorities."
The oommlttee appointed lust night will
seek at once a conference with the Board
of Health and endeavor to have the order
rescinded or at least modified.

Lee Is Denied Relief.
CRE8TON. la.. Feb. 15. (Special.) An
Interesting legal case Involving the rights of
members of the Burlington Relief associa
tion was decided at Glenwood this week.
M. J. Lee of this city brought suit sgalnst
the relief department to secure half pay
from the association during the remainder
of his life, contending that the rules of
the association permitted such a course.
Lee was Injured In 1?90 In the Council Bluffs
yards. He was given a position as tower
man at the Bluffs, but could not hold the
place owing to his Injuries. He was then
given a position at Malvern, but when the
crossing tower was abandoned he was
brought to Creeton and given a place as
switch tender in the west end of the yards.
During Superintendent Stewart's manage
ment of the west end Lee was dismissed for
alleged Insubordination and at the same
time his name dropped from the relief
rolls. His suit for reinstatement of privi
leges was denied by the Mills county Judge,
who Instructed the Jury to return a ver
dict In favor of the defense. The case has
been hanging fire for some time and owing
to the large number of relief members at
Creston has attracted considerable interest
here.

are to be corrected. Some minor changes
also are to be made, but It la stated that
none of the defects are of a serious nature
and that thirty days will suffice to do all
the work recommended by the board as
necessary to be done, when the Ohio will
sail for Asiatic waters.
NORTHWESTERN CUTS RATE
Nine Cents Per Hundred on Corn nod
Oats to Chicago Market from
Points In Iowa.
CHICAGO, Feb. 15. (Special Telegram.)
In the rate war between the lines leading
to Chicago and those leading to the Gulf
of Mexico the only Important movement
during the day was the reduction by the
Chicago & Northwestern of Its rates on
corn and oats from central and eastern
Iowa to Chicago to 9 cents per 100 pounds.
This was considerably lower than the local
rates offered by other western lines, and
meant a good deal of trouble to the Iowa
roads. The Chicago Great Western re
duced rates for export to a basis of 12
and 14 cents through Iowa. The only road
now not making a low tariff from Iowa
points to Chicago Is the Milwaukee & 8t.
Paul, which has led all other western llnbti
In low tariffs on export business.
The general freight agents of western
lines got together In the ""Western Trunk
Una meeting In the afternoon and tried
to bring about some uniformity in rates
on grain, but without success.

his head from the gruesome sight. Sheriff

BAD BILLS AT THE BLUFFS
Seven of Eecentlj Described Series Have
Been Located There.
OMAHA FREE FROM THE BOGUS MONEY
Captain Webb ! Only a' Few
"Floaters" Have Been Started
Here and These. Have Been
Easily Detected.
Seven counterfeit lo bills of the "Buffalo"
series have been discovered in Council
Bluffs since the description ef the bogus
bill was published In The Bee. The last one
was discovered Just a week ago by a teller
In one of the Council Bluffs banks and
turned over to Captain Webb of the secret
servlco department of the government,
making the seventh that has been delected.
None of the bills have yet been found In
Omaha, as it appears that the snap was
given away too early here.
Omaha has been peculiarly free from the
Invasion of bad money for several months.
About the last spurt was the concerted ef
fort of the Brown gang to shove a lot of
bogus silver dollars lust summer, which
were practically all picked up before get
ting Into general" circulation, nnd the coun
terfeiters captured and tent to Sioux Falls
for a term. One or two straggling bad bills
have been started on their way here, re
cently, but they were caught before any
body was "hurt by them. In referring to
this matter Captain Webb said:
"You can never tell when bad money will
show up, or where. The counterfeiters
never sleep, nor do their agents. It Is a
peculiar fact, too, that here In Omaha we
1 ave seldom been bothered with the rmall
denominations of counterfeit coins. They
generally show up at such places as South
Omaha, but there has been very llttlo bad
rnoney in circulation there for some time
past. Bad bills do not often show up in
such pluces as South Omaha, as nearly all
transactions down, there are by checks. The
smaller change can be shoved there more
successfully than In such a place as Omahit.
About the only counterfeits we find here In
Omaha are what are called 'floaters,' that
drift In here occasionally from the outside.
As soon as we hear of a bad piece of money
we gather It up and get It out of circula
tion as quickly as possible."

BREAK FROM NIEDRINGHAUS
Two Members from Southwest Mis
souri Vote for Lieutenant Gov
ernor for Senate.
JEFFERSON CITY. Mo., Feb. 15.-In ac
cordance1 with predictions freely made dur
ing the last week, today's Joint session of
the Mlasourl legislature was the most In
teresting since the establishment of the
deadlock over the selection of United States
senator to succeed Senator Francia M.
Cockrell. The expected bolt from the Nled
rjnghaua forces, came on the twenty-third
ballot, first taken today, but not of sufficient
strength to change the relative standing of
the candidates. Maples of Chrlxtlan and
Wiles of Stone broke from the caucus nom
inee and cast their ballots for Lieutenant
Governor John C. McKlnloy, who is pre
siding over the Joint ,nesnlons. The lieu
tenant governor declared he was not a
candidate for the senatorshlp and requested
the bolters to return to the caucus nominee
In the Interests of party regularity and
fidelity. Both Maples, and Viles defended
their votes, declaring that they believed
they were carrying out tie wishes of their
constituents. j '
Brown of Grundy, w,ho has been voting
for Pettljohn for severar days, changed to
McKlnley. The now 'famous "Walmsley
complimentary vote", went to State Senator
Young. ' ' :
The result of the ballot waa: Nledrlng
haus, 65; Cockrell, 73; McKlnley, 3; Kerens,
12; Flnkelnburg, 1; Pettljohn, 1; Young, 1.
A motion to adjourn until tomorrow was
opposed by the Kerens forces, who, voting
with the democrats, succeeded in ordering
another ballot, the twenty-fourth.
The vote resulted practically the same as
the previous ballot, with the exception of
Whltaker, who changed from Flnkelnburg
to McKlnley, and the Walmsley vote, which
went to State Senator Baumann of St.
Louis. Adjournment was taken until tomorrow.
DELAY IN C0DYpiV0RCE CASE
Wife Given Two Days Additional In
Which to Secure Some
Depositions.
i
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 15. (Speclul.)
The Cody divorce case, which has attracted
widespread attention throughout the coun
try owing to the prominence of "Buffalo
Bill," the plaintiff, came on for hearing be
fore Judge Scott of the district court at 10
o'clock yesterday morning- Mrs. Cody was
represented by Attorney Wilcox of North
Platte and Colonel Cody was present with
his attorneys, Judge J. 'L. Stotts and M. B.
Camplln of Sheridan and H. S. RIdgeley and
W. L. Walls of Cody. Colonel Powell
("White Beaver"), Cody's old pal, was also
present.
As forecasted In these dispatches some
time ago, Mrs. Cody asked for another con
tinuance on the grounds that she could no
leave the bedside of her father, who Is
dangerously 111 at her home In North
Platte, Neb. Colonel Cody's chief counsel,
Mr. RIdgeley, objected to the continuance
In a very brief and plain argument. He
said that Mrs. Cody had repeatedly delayed
the case and for no other reason than to
got the matter Into the courts at a time
when It would be Impossible for Colonel
Cody to be present In person. Mrs. Cody's
father had been In his present condition for
several years, said Attorney RIdgeley, and
he would probably get no better or no
worse for some time to come. Colonel Cody
had come to Cheyenne with his witnesses,
prepared to go on with the case. The mo
tion for a continuance was overruled.
Attorney Wilcox asked for two days' time
to get depositions here from North Platte
and the request was granted, the case being
set for Thursday at 10 a. m.

CHARLESTON. W. Va., Feb. 15. Another
legislative investigation will be opened In
the West Virginia legislature as a result of
a special message sent by Governor White
to the state senate today. He refers to a
newspaper article accusing the legislators
of lnKxlling in connection with liquor and
medical legislation and arts for an Investl
g:Mlon of the charges. The message reads
In part us follow.":
In a communication received by me from
a reput.-ible physician of l'arkersburg re
cently the following statement Is made:
The West Virginia Hoard of Health and the
West Virginia Medical society have a hill.
No. 31, before the legislature. We hear that
It has pa-sed the house, hut the quacks sre
holding It up In the senate by hired st
torneys to lobby against it. and we are tn!d
liy the use of boodle. We cannot prove this,
but the president of the state board says
that a senator told him this: "Get liOno
and we will p'lt your bill through. " This
was told openly In the medical society last
night.
I am Informed that srirntlar statements
and more of them have been made In a
leading Pittshurg paper. In view of these
nr.bllshed statements It seems to me that
the Kenate owes It to itself and the people
of the Stat" to Investigate those charge.
As the communication contnlned only a
portion of the newspaper article In ques
tion, the senate returned the message to
Governor White, with Instructions to send
the entlro article with the message.
