Asll-Zlmmsa Factional Row.
Acting Mayor Zlmmnn's appointment of
Councilman O'Brien as chairman of the
lighting committee awoke Immediate re
sentment from what is now the council
manic minority Schroeder, Huntington,
Evans and Dyball. Councilman Schrceder
presented a document weherln he protested
against the appointment of O'Brien on the
theory that the mice provide that commit
tees shell be named when the council Is
organised at the first meeting, and that as
a two-thirds vote la necessary to amend
or suspend the rules, the president could
not act In filling vacancies without express
orders of the council by that majority.
After this had been read Schroeder moved
thnt Dyball be given the committee places
filled by his late brother. Huntington and
Evans seconding the motion In the same
breath. Nicholson made a speech about Its
being the preeldent's prerogative to name
the committees, Bchroedcr asked for a
legal opinion on the matter and City At
torney Breen replied that it was the coun
cil's business to construe Its own rules. By
a vote of 5 to 4, with Zlmman, Back, Hoye,
Nicholson and O'Brien In the negative,
Schroeder'8 motion was lost, and by a re
verse Vote the resignation of O'Brien from
the rules committee was accepted. Where
upon Dyball was duly apponted chairman
of the committee on rules by the president.

Dr. 8. D. Mercer, In a letter, again com

Eleventh street between Jackson and How

Eleventh and Twelfth. A year ago, he
said, the street railway company was given
more time to remove the rails, which are
considered a nuisance, In view of a pending
extension. This extension Is thought to be
a dead Iwue, and Dr. Morcer has placed
the matter In the hands of his attorney.
The communication was referred to a com
mittee. Talon Pacific Gets Alley.
An ordinance giving the Union Pacific
the right to Use the alley between Farnam

for trackage purposes was passed. It was
announced that the Northwestern and the
Vnlon Pacific got together on the proposi
tion, with the understanding that no rail
road Is to be barred from using tracks that
may be built. In the ordinance nothing is
said as to how the authority Is to come for
laying rails across Ninth street.

After the meeting the vouncilinen, heads
of departments and paving contractors met
Informally In a committee room to discuss
the new charter. City Engineer Roaewater
did nearly all toe talking and few points
wera mentioned that have not been brought
out heretofore. City Attorney Breen sug
geated that heads of departments should
submit their doubts as fast aa doubts artae
to Ina department for written or oral opin
ions to be speedily given. He agreed with
t'tty Engineer Roaewater that ho has con
trol of the new aaphalt repair plunt and
lha inttUve In appointing employes. The
engiueer said it waa time that definite
plana of procedure be framed for this pur
pose and iuevchlucry aud material pur- ;
chased. Attorneys Breen and Herdmen
answered a lot of question regarding
minor technical matters.
The .engineer declared that the new chan
ter prohibits bonds for all kinds of district
Improvements to be leaned until after the
levy la made. As the levy cannot be made
until after the work Is done and no bonds
sold, contractors cannot be paid by monthly
estimates as has been the rule. This will
mnke the contracts higher, according to the
engineer. The Iswyers were not prepared
J debate the question.
NO NEW DEAL IS INVOLVED
lnsly Meralag of Properties Already
Owaed by Bsaelter Trwst
People.
At the offices of the Smelter trust In this
city It waa aald that the merger of these
two corporations, the American Smelting
and Refining company And the duggenheim
Exploration company, into the American
Smelters Exploration company would In no
way affect the Omaha plant, would bring
no additional offices here and was In no
way a blow at the Independent white lead
producers, of which the Carter White Lead
company Is the principal house.
The present announcement from New
Tork of the organization of the new trust
Is the completion of a merger given pub
licity last winter and Is not a newer move.
In Guy C. Barton s office it waa pointed
out that the Smelter trust Is the principal
consumer of mine products and the Gug
genheim Itxploratlon company and the
I'nited Lead company own many of the
principal mines which produce the minerals
used for smelting and refining. As the
same . men were largely interested
In the two.Mt Is pointed out that there
was a natural advantage to follow their
consolidation. The United Lead company
Is another corporation whlcl) haa been
merged Into the great mineral combination
Any attempt to gain control of the mines
from which come the minerals necessary
In the manufacture of white lead, for the
purpose of forcing out the Carter Lead
company and other Independent concerns,
was denied. It was said that the lead
mines are too numerous for any such at
tempt to be made and that the con
solidation merely brought such mines as
the trust desired and the lead trust under
the same organization.
E. J. Cornleh of the Carter White Lead
company Is .out of the city and will not
return until the end of the month. At his
office however, It waa thought that the
new trust was not a menace to the Inde
pendent producers.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Druggist Who Bell Liquor to Be Compelled
to Faj License.
FIRE AND POLICE BOARD TO INVESTIGATE
Owlag to Failure of Applicants for
Saloon License lo Pay In Their
Money o Licenses Were
Granted.
A meeting of the fire and polic commis
sioners was held at the council chamber
last night. It was thought that some
liquor licenses might be granted, but ap
plicants who had published had neglected
to file receipts for $1,000 and so the
board deferred the granting of licenses for
one week.
Chairman Ma son brought up the matter
of druggists licenses. Nolan and Van
Bant were appointed a committee to visit
the drug stores and ascertain whether they
were selling liquors or not. It was the
off-hand opinion of the board that those
who sold liquors should be compelled to
advertise and take out a license. This
committee win visit all of the drug stores
in the city Saturday.
An adjournment was taken for a few
minutes to allow the board to inspect the
city Jail. Nolan made a report that the
Jail was not in good sanitary condition,
and a request will be made to the council
to have Immediate repairs made or else
secure other quarters for a Jail. Mr.
Nolan stated that the sewer from the Jail
Is lower than the main sewer and causes
sewage to back up, making the Jail unfit
for habitation. Chairman Masson sug
gested that hereafter prisoners be sent to
the county Jail, Instead of being confined
here. Unless some steps, are taken to
improve the sanitary condition of the pres
ent Jail this may be done.
Charges against Officer Jake Small were
reported on by a cdmmlttee and dismissed
on the ground that there was no cause for
complaint against the officer.
Members Bcrgquist and Nixon and Chief
Garrett were appointed a committee to
confer with the fire nnd water committee
of the council regarding the building of
the new fire hall at Twenty-fifth and
L streets. This committee will urge the
council to take steps at once towards the
erection of a new fire department head
quarters. Chief Garrett of the fire department,
reported that lie needed some new hose.
a new set of harness 'and some repairs
to the fire wagons. This matter will be
taken up at once by committees.
Chief Briggs of the police force put In a
plea for a patrol wagon. He said that It
was awful trying on an officer to snake a
drunk from Thirty-third and Q streets, or
away out on L street to the city Jail. He
suggested that something be done at once
to put some sort of wagon in service.
Secretary Bergqulst stated that even with
the utmost economy the police fund would
show an overlap of $1,000 at the end of the
fiscal year. No steps will be taken In re
gard to a patrol wagon until It Is known
how the fund will come out.
Liquor license applications will be acted
on at a meeting to be held next Tuesday
night. Big Irrigation Canal.
V. L. Havens, locating engineer for the
Farmers nnd Columbia Canal company, left
for Mitchell Inst night, after visiting his
mother nnd friends here for a few days.
Mr. Havens said the canal runs through
Scott's Bluff and Cheyenne counties and
that a dam 1,300 feet long will be built
across the Platte river near the Nebraska
and Wyoming line. This oanal is eighty
feet wide and ten feet deep and when com
pleted will be 150 mllea in length. The In
tention is to Irrigate 250,000 acres of arid
soil. On this reclaimed land sugar beets
will be cultivated, as well as other pro
ducts. So far forty miles of the canal has
been dug, but the balance of the work "will
take at least two or three years.
F. E. Valentine, a prominent stock dealer
of Scott's Bluff county, was at the yards
here yesterday and he said that everything
was on the boom in his locality since the
irrigating ditch had been started. "Last
year," said Mr. Valentine, "some of the
irrigated land yielded es much as 110
bushels of oats to the acre. Alfalfa Is be
ing raised extensively nnd tho crops are
heavy." Concerning cattle conditions, Mr.
Valentine said that ranchers had turned
their stock on the range, as the grass was
growing nicely. j
Bastern Star Officers Entertained.
Mrs. C. L. Talbot ond Mrs. J. A. Hall
entertained some of the grand officers of
the Eastern Star at the home of Mrs. Tal

Bridge Opening; Delayed.
On account of the non-arrival of the Iron
rails for the footwalks on the new Burling
ton viaduct at Thirty-eighth across the
tracks at L street, the bridge is not open
for traffic For a day or two teams were
allowed to cross, but yesterday bars were
put across the bridge at both the east and
west ends and these will not be taken
down until the railings are put In place.
A few men are still working on this big
bridge, but they sre merely putting on
some finishing touches. As soon as the
railings arrive men will be put to work,
nnd It will only take a day or two to place
them. It Is expected that within a week
the bridge will bo opened for travel.
Emergency Hospital Vacant.
Mayor Koutsky Is out hustling for a man
and wife who will take charge of the
emergency hospital In the extreme eastern
portion of the city. At .the present time
no one is in charge of the building and
grounds. What the city officials wont Is
someone who will take the place without
pay, but will cultivate the ground and take
care of such patients as may be sent to
the hospital. For each patient the city
pays 60 cents a day. As only smallpox
patients are sent to this hospital, pay days
ere almost unknown down on the river
bank and those who undertake the task
have only the garden truck raised to sup
port themselves. The city has paid for
the ground surrounding the hospital and
the county donated J1.C00 for the erection
of the building, but the great difficulty
eeema to be to get someone to live at the
hospital and work the farm.
Dog Tags Deferred.
Through a difference of opinion in the
council nO poundmaster has been appointed
and no date set for the catching of dogs
running loose without tags. Klewit of the

all wrong and he wants some changes made
before he will vote for the appointment
of a dog catcher. There Is no telling how
when the tags will be Issued or when the
city pound will be opened.
