A Northwestern railway system west of
the Mtsaourl river, succeeding James B
flhean, who -ha been promoted to the gen
eral attorneyship of the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha, road, with head
quarters in St. Paul.
The change in effective March 1. It was
a complete surprise to every one except
the councllmen, who were Informed and
had chosen Mr. Itreen In advance. The lat
ter made a speech accepting the place. The
only opposition to him In the open meeting
came from Councilman O'Brien, the sole
democratic member, who proposed Ed P.
Smith for the office.
In his letter of resignation City Attorney
Wright said that while he was loath to re
linquish the trust placed In him by the peo
ple yet. he felt that his personal Interests
demanded his giving up the office. He took
occasion to commend Assistant City At
torney Herdman and other employed of the
office and said ha hoped they would be re
tained. The council adopted a long resolu
tion eulogizing the outgoing city attorney
and warmly praising the character of his
work and his faithfulness to the city during
the twenty-one months that ha has served.
No Effort to Eleet Iybs.ll.
The attempt to elect Charles D. Dyball as
the successor to Councilman R. W. Dyball
of the Seventh ward, who Is hopelessly sick,
was not made. During the day the Inter
ests behind the move Jost out In soma close
Jockeying and when the meeting was con
vened Councilman Back, one of the men re
lied on to put the scheme through, was ab
sent and Councilman O'Brien, whose vote
was absolutely necessary therefore to make
up the majority of five had previously
served notice that he would not vote for a
man who was not a democrat.
In connection with the methods of letting
contracts an ordinance Introduced by Act
ing Mayor Zlmman lust night seeks to do
away with deals' that give the people no
chance to bo heard. The ordinance would
provide that all contracts for lighting,
water, telephone, fire and police alarm
systems,' garbage hauling and disposing
and the carting away of dead animals be
mad only by ordinance, and then only at
regular meetings. The author of the meas
ure sees In It a way to prevent the forma
tion of new and expensive agreements
without publicity.
City Hall I.Uhtlna Plant.
Councilman O'Brien Introduced a resolu
tion which was adopted calling upon the
city electrician to prepare estimates of a
city hall lighting plant to be operated In
connection ' with the boilers and heating
plant now In use. The comptroller Is asked
to supply figures showtng the coat of light
ing the building for the last five years.
Last year the sum was close to 13,000.
O'Brien also tried to have a resolution
adopted calling upon the treasurer to fur
nish monthly reports showing the amounts
of taxes brought In by Individual collectors,
but this failed, chiefly through the an
taonlanv .of Councilman Hoye, 'whom
O'Brien accused of being a grandstand
player. Hoye retorted that he wasn't and
old O'Brien could get the information by
going after It Only Zlmman supported the
; Fifth warder.
No City Pay tor Nelson.
The resolution adopted two weeks ago
appropriating $300 to W. T. Nelson for
drafting the charter revision committee's
charter was rescinded.
Aa Just a mere hint of what some of
the small Items In the water works ap
'pralsement are costing, certain bllla were
referred to the council by the comptroller,
with the remark that they should be
charged, to the 1906 account of the water

no funda The Items Included $175 for John
H. Hart for about thirty minutes' testi

pany for hydrant rents for the last half

recommendation of City Attorney Wright,
who said the amount would draw 7 per
cent Interest any way.
For the first time since the bars were
taken down the council sustained a veto
for a new water hydrant, the one proposed
In question being for Grand avenue between
Twentieth and Twenty-second street.
Mayor Moores and Acting Mayor Zlmman

The committee on fire, water and police,
to which waa referred Mayor Moore's tele
gram from Phoenix, Aria., asking for the
creation of new fire companies, reported
that the council had levied the maximum
amount for the fund and that further than
this It should not go, being helpless In the
matter without legislative enactment. The
matter waa turned over ti the Board of
Fire and Police commissioners.
In view of spring work the appointment
of 160 laborers by the Board of Public
Works, waa confirmed.

COLUMBUS WATER POWER PLAN
Iaterarban Railroad gala to Have
Galvanised a Scheme that Has
Lose Been Morlband.
According to statements said to have been
made by officers of the Omaha, Beatrice &
Lincoln' Interurban Railway company, ar
rangements have been made through a
Kansas City bank for financing the old Co
lumbus water power project, which Is to be
operated in connection with the electric
railway. The power for the interurban line
will be manufactured at the power plant
and transmitted from a point near Colum
bus to wherever needed along the route of
the new railway, for which construction
will be started in the spring, according to
statements. The Columbus water power
plant will get Its source of supply from the
Loup river. Should the plant be built and
put In operation it may have a direct effect
upon Omaha, for It waa one of the many
schemes considered as a means for supply
ing this city with cheap power for manu
facturing establishments and lighting.
Announcements of the Theater.
This afternoon and evening Andrew
Mack will be seen at the Boyd theater in
his splendid new oomedy, "The Rood to
Kenmare." This popular singing comedian
haa never had a mora acceptable vehicle
for his peculiar abilities, and Is making a
great hit In the new play. His engagement
closas tonight. Manager Burgess takes
pleasure in being able to announce for next
week at the Boyd that prince of romantio
actors, Mr. Kyrle Bellew, in his latest
triumph. "Raffles." This piece haa been
one of the season's rages, and Its coming
to Omaha will be one of the events of the
season. . .
The vaudeville bill on at the Orpheum
this week Is scoring heavily to large audi
ences. The two sketches on the program,
"When Oeorglna Waa Eighteen," presented
by the Barrows-Lancaster company, and
"A Daughter of the Qods," presented by
Henry Karle Godfrey and Vesta Hender
son, are two of the most' satisfactory little
scions of the drama seen at the Orpheum
this season. The remainder of the bill
offers pleasing variety. A matinee will be
riven Thursday,
It is estimated that the great rural play,
"Uncle SI Haskins," which opens a two
nights' engagement at the Krug, theater
Friday night, with matinee Saturday, has
been witnessed by more than 1,000,000 peo
ple, and at the rate the play has been
drawing this season the 2,000,000 mark Is
likely to be reached before the season
closes. There Is more fun In "Uncle Bl
Hasklna" than was ever put. together in
one play before. The Incidents are built
on facts and are therefore true to life
Itself, while the characters fictitious in the
story become, as portrayed by sympathetic
artists, distinct living types, such as are
found everywhere in the country.
"The Princess Chic," which will be seen
at the Krug theater for three nights and
two matinees, starting with Sunday's mati
nee, is one of the modern musical plays
that have held its laurels Independently
of star or company. The llbrette is by
Klrke LuShelle and many of the lyrics It
contains are conceded to have high poetic
value. The score was composed by Julian
Edwards and the opera is still continuing
the tremendous success that attended its
tour last season.
The sale of seats for Ysaye opened yes
terday with a brisk demand which con
tinued until the closing hour at 6 o'clock

A great many citizens appear to be
pleased at the prospect of a new fire hall to
be built In the city north of N street. The
agreement msde by the council Monday
night to purchase the property at the south
west corner of Twenty-fifth and L streets
for fire department purposes Is being com
mended aa the only practical site offered at
the time bids were opened. This property
will cost the city $3,600, and It Is really con
sidered worth a greet deal more. With the
consent of the mayor the property will be
conveyed to the city within a short time.
Then will come the question of raising
funda for the construction of a building.
The cost of the property Is to come out of
the present fire fund. It was suggested
that funds for the building of a first clam
fire house might possibly come out of the
scavenger fund. This cannot be done, as
the scavenger fund la now appropriated for
general purposes and will be used to cut
down the tax levy next year.
One of the members of the city council
who Is interested In seeing South Omaha
have better fire protection, said that a flro
hall should be built to contain a light
truck, a steamer, a hose wagon and a
chiefs buggy. In all, eight horsea ought
to be In service and provision should be
made In the plans of the building for eight
stalls and the apparatus mentioned.
When city officials were asked where the
money la to come from to erect a suitable
building and purchase appartus, the idea
was suggested that sufficient money might
be borrowed to make the Improvements.
Now that the city has a fire hall site the
next thing In order Is to figure out some
way for providing funds for constructing
a building and purchasing apparatus and
horses.
Board Reinstates Officers.
Last night the Fire and Police commis
sioners met at the council chamber and
listened to testimony In the cases of Offi
cers Ringer and Thlede. Ringer was charged
with being Intoxicated on duty and Thlede
for taking a drink while on duty and In
uniform. The commissioners heard the
statements made and decided that the ten
days' suspension given by the chief waa
sufficient punishment. Both officers were
restored to duty last night.
The case against the Alex saloon at
Thirty-ninth and L streets was called next.
Alex declared positively that he had not
sold liquor to minors and as no witnesses
were present to testify to the contrary the
board decided that he could open his place
at once. Chief Brlggs waa Instructed to
make a further Investigation Into this case.
Chief Garrett reported the loss of some
hose on Q street by a length being run over
by a street car on January 9. Secretary
Bergqulst was directed to pfer the matter
to the city attorney with a request that an
effort be made by the city to recover the
cost of ono length of hose, $50.
Isaac Nelson resigned as a member of the
fire department and John McHale was ap
polntedvon thirty days' probation, the ap
pointment to take effect March 1. A num
ber of police nnd fire department reports
were read by the secretary and ordered
placed on file.
Members of the board appeared to be
welL pleased with the selection made by
the council for a new fire hall building at
Twenty-fifth and L streets.' ', .; ,
- Bond Case Now On.
The injunction casa restraining the mayor
and council from ieeulng bonds for the pur
chase of a city hall site and the buying of
park grounds Is now up In Judge Sears'
court. The plaintiffs to the action are
Frank Pivonka and Charles Cummings.
City Attorney Lambert is defending the
city. At the clone of the hearing yesterday
the plaintiffs had not concluded. It is ex
pected that today the plaintiffs will con
clude and that on Friday the defence will
make a showing. The case has to go over
Thursday on account of other matters
which the court had set for hearing.
As this case has been hanging fire In the
courts since the November election the peo
ple of South Omaha have lost Interest fn
the matter to a great extent. At the fall
eleclon the question of voting $70,000 bonds
for the site and erection of a city hall and
$40,000 for park purposes was voted on, and
the returns showed that the propositions
carried. Those opposed to this issue of
bonds sought to prevent an additional tax
levy by appealing to the courts.
Sevrers Working; Nicely.
Mayor KoutBky and City Engineer Beal
made a trip over the city yesterday and
Inspected the arrangements made for car
rying off Surface water, Every storm wa
ter aewer and manhole waa In working
order and the water was running nicely.
A great deal of melted snow and ice went
Into the sewers yesterday. Some of the
business streets are about half cleared of
snow, but in the residence districts the gut
ters have not been cleared and the wa
ter runs In all directions. ,
Very little "attention is being paid by
property owners to the order to clear the
sidewalks of anow, and alnce the thaw the
special agent of the legal department has
stopped the service of notices except In the
business part of the city.
Scavenger Fund Growing,
Since the commencement of sales of
property for taxes the city of South Omaha
has received $15,677.36. The payment for
January, amounting to $2,805.27, waa re
ceived by the city treasurer yesterday,
The November payment waa $8,878. This
was used to wipe out Judgments against
the city. The payments from now on will
go Into a fund to be used for the general
reduction of the levy this year. With the
December and January payments In the
scavenger fund there Is now a Dalance of
$6,896.68. It is estimated by city officials
that this fund will amount to nearly $25,.
000 before the making of the 1905 levy.
With the Idea In view of putting this
money Into a fund to reduce the tax levy,
the officials think the people will be greatly
benefited. There Is also some talk among
members of the council of putting the usual
10 per cent reserve into this fund and
thereby decreasing the tax levy by about
$10,000 more. The amount of the 1904 levy
waa $152,991 and It appeara to be the aim
of the authorltlea to reduce this aa much
as possible this year.

ENTERTAINMENTS LAST NIGHT
Crelghton Medical Juniors Give Re
ception to seniors and Faculty
at Colleare.
Crelghton Medical college waa the scene
of a brilliant and very enjoyable affair !
last evening, the occasion being the recep- ;
tlon given by the Juniors to the senior class
and faculty of the college. The first two
floors of the college were handsomely fes
tooned with the college colors of white
and light blue, while an arch with the
word "Welcome" in electric lights was
built over the main stairway, adorned with
the college colors, added materially to the
brilliant picture.
Fully 200 women and men attended the
reception and the reception committees
spared no pains in according to each guest
that cordiality of greeting that has al
ways distinguished affairs of this nature
at Crelghton Medical college. '
There was no formal program of enter
tainment except It was to dispense with all
stiff formality and make each visitor feel
at home. The main reception parlors were
devoted to the receptldh and entertainment
of guests, and the south' hall of the first
floor was given over'd ;lanclng. The or
chestra waa located behind a bank of
palms, and this room, too, was decorated
with the college colors in a most artl.stio
manner. T .i o-h t rftfrMhm.nt. , I

"The Way to Kenmare" at the Boyd.
Andrew Mack and company In "The Way
to Kenmare," a romantic comedy In four
acts, by Edward E. Rose, under the man
agement of Richard & Harris. The cast:
Dan Magufre Andrew Mack
Captain Clement Falrley .... Edwin Brandt
Roy Donald.... William J. Townshend
The Earl of Kenmare.. George w. Peyo
Bentley Harden Myron Callce

"The Way to Kenmare" Is almost as
"plain as the road to the parish church"
and nearly as difficult to go. It Is beset
by a number of trifling incidents, such as
the Intrigue of an English captain to win
an earldom from Its rightful heir, and the
lady love of the heir besides. Also, It is
marked by a notable attempt on the part
of a German, who mangles the English
language dreadfully, to carry off the heart
of an Irish widow, who Is looking forward
to a reunion with the love of her youth,
who rejoices In the name of Hogan and
has red hair. The captain has all the at
tributes of the conventional villain and
does Just what we have been used to see
ing them do for some generations of plays
of the sort. All his machinations go for
naught against the straightforward efforts
of the rightful heir, Dan Magulre, who
has taken his mother's name for reasons
he explains during the course of the play.
Dan masquerades to some extent, but he
doesn't allow his disguise to prevent his
setting everything straight. That's about
all, save that Incidental to the action of
the play Dan sings several songs In a
tuneful way.
Andrew Mack gives us a Dan Magulre
that Is quite Irish In one essential point;
having set his mind on a thing he con
ducts himself as though it was accom
plished, even though the issue be far ahead.
Several times during the course of the
play, when the plot, which la never very
dense, seemed to gather thickest, Mr. Mack
by his confident action reassured the doubt
ing ones, as If he knew exactly how the
affair waa going to end. His faith In him
self was ultimately Justified, for he was
successful in obtaining acknowledgment
as the next earl of Kenmare, and the cur
tain falls with htm singing a sweet love
song to the girl he has won along with
his ottier victories. Mr. Mack Is too clever
a comedian and too good an actor to waste
his time with a play so plainly written "to
et the stuff."
Miss Lovett'B Rose was well enacted, and
Miss Berleln'e Mrs. Moloney was a clever
bit of comedy work. Mr. Brandt Is very
good as Captain Falrley, his work In the
last act being such as to gain for htm
genuine applause. The staging of the
piece Is beautiful, the scene of the third
act, showing the ruins of an old church
being one of the prettiest settings shown
here this season. The play was very well
received by a large audience at the Boyd
last night, the applause being generous and
persistent. "The Way to Kenmare" will
be given at a matinee this afternoon and
again this evening, closing the engagement.

Triune lodge. No. 56, Knights of Pythias,
gave an entertainment to its memhers
their families and friends at Fraternal
hall last night, which was largely at
tended and very enjoyable. A literury and
musical program was given and excellently
rendered. A feature of the evening was
a number of recitations and readings by
Miss Dunning, daughter of Past Grand
Chancellor Dunning of Ohio, who is visit
ing friends in the city. Miss Dunning's
renditions were enthusiastically applauded.
Among those participating in the musical
numbers were Miss Carrie Melchoir,

SHOPMEN UNFURL THE FLAG
Old Glory Hoisted Over I'nion Paetflo
Shops Amid Appropriate
Ceremonies.
"Three cheers for the stars and stripes!"
and nearly a thousand sons of toll, em
ployes of the Union Pacific shops, cheered
with might and main as Miss Adellna
Roehrlg unfurled the beautiful new flag
over the boiler shop yesterday afternoon.
The flag floated to the breeze In the even
ing sunlight, a firing squad of the Omaha
Guards, under Lieutenant Furay, fired three
volleys and the gathering caught the In
spiration of the moment. It was a pretty
and effective scene. The new flag Is of
regulation size and floats 110 feet from the
ground. The employes of the shops thought
the eve of Washington's birthday a fitting
time to unfurl the emblem of the nation's
liberty.

COLD WEATHER AND THE TABLE
How Prlrea of Eatablea Have Been
Affected by the Hard
Winter.
Tresent Indications are Ttat the majority
of people will have to continue to spread
their butter thin for some time to come.
Although the weather haa moderated there
haa been no Increase In the supply of but
ter fat, and aa a result the market Is still
advancing. New York has advanced the
price of butter 2 cents a pound this week
and the Omaha market has shown a cor
responding gain, which carries the whole
sale price of prints to 84 centa The com
mon gradea of country butter are Belling
at 22V4 centa and the better grades at 27(cf
28 cents wholesale. Just how long these
famine prices will continue Is a question,
but It docs not look now as though there
Is much hope for Immediate relief.
The hens have been getting busy, though,
as Is shown by the Increase In receipts at
the local market and the corresponding
drop In prices. It Is rather hard to tell
Just what eggs are worth, as any particular
quotation does not hold good for more than
about three minutes owing to the rapid de
cline In prices. A wholesale price of about
22'23 cents, though, would perhaps be con
servative. Green vegetables are going to command
fancy prices thl spring owing to the ex
ceptionally cold weather experienced
throughout the south. According to ad
vlcea received by local Jobbers a large per
centage of the acreage of vegetables was
frozen out and consequently the amount
that will be shipped to this market will be
much smaller than usual. Take for exam
ple head lettuce, which is so high that It
will have to retail at 20 cents per head,
with some of the smaller heads perhaps at
16 cents.
Higher prices are also being predicted for
some lines of fruits, particularly apples and
oranges. The demand for both these lines
Is now very brisk and as soon as present
stocks are exhausted It is expected that
considerably higher prices will rule.
