A. 8. Roaors. one of the chief electricians
f the Nebraska Telephone company, was
la the city Friday and luld before City
Engineer Ueal a blue print of the con
duits the company proposes to build hero.
The plant show that the company will
Start laying conduits at Twenty-fourth, and
J strnets and will go south on Twenty-
fourth street to J street, where a turn
Will be mad-i loathe alloy in the roar of
the high school building and thence to
ths froposvd new hulldlng of the company
at the southeast corner of Twenty-fourth
and K streets. From Twenty-fourth and
K streets the alley between Twenty-third
and Twenty-fourth streets will ha used to
O street and then west to Twenty-fourth
steet and south to y street. In going
along pwed streets It is the plan of the
telephone company to use the space be
tween the curb and the sidewalk lines,
Thle Is done to save the tearing up of the
pavement. One feature which Is caysing
some change in (he plana Is the necessity
for watertight manholes, as the present
storm water sewer system Is not sufficient
to drain the conduits
fn the rntn lines slxteen-duct conduits
will be laid. Only two or three duets will
be lfld on some of the side streets Mr.
Rogers says the conduits are to bo con
structed of vltrlfted clay and cement. The
conduit syrtem will extend from F street
on the north to Q street on the south and
from Twrnty-thlrd street on the east to
Twenty-slsth street on the west.
In coHiieciloa with ths improvements
here Mr.. Rogers said: ' "We sre getting
. ready for a permanent home In South
, Omaha and we want to put our wires in
ths business portion of ths city under
ground. We have some men now at work
1 Omaha laying conduits and before the
end of this month a portion of ths force
WlU be heat to South Omaha to start work
here. Manholes will be located every block
and when the new system is completed a
treat many of tea overhead wtrea will be
done away with."
Mr. Rogers said that there was talk at
one time about running conduits under the
tracks St Q street, but he now considered
this out of the question St this time, as
there Is no necessity for such an expendi
ture of money. "It will taka a year for us
to complete our reconstruction work In
outh Omaha," said Mr. Rogers, "but we
aropose to go right ahead and by the time
our new bulhtlng is ready the conduits will
be ready foe service." .
Wben a lit 'it for Information about th
proposed bulldhtg Vr. Rogers said that It

of the company had not made up their
minds. No plans have been drawn, but
sketches will be presented to an architect
before long. "It is still undetermined,"
said Mr. Rogers, "whether we will build an
absolutely fireproof building or erect one of
mill construction with brick facings.
Neither do we know whether the proposed
building will be two stories in height or
three stories. These things all have to be
considered and wbrked out."
Mr. Rogerts was not able to give an esti
mate of the cost of the improvements to be
mado here or the probable cost of the new
building. All he said In this relation was
that it would bo a year at least before a
move from the present quarters would be
made.

Cleric Olllln's Statement.
City Clerk Olllln on Friday completed his
report for the month of June. Thlw report
shows that out of a total of receipts for
the fiscal year up to the end of June there
had been drawn 114S.748. This leaves a bal
ance, according to the clerk's flg'ires, of
$2n."M. When June bills and expenses are
paid there will bo but a very small balance
In any of the funds except the Are fund.
The general fund is down to 1278 and this
will have to be replenished from other
funds this month in order to prevent
an overlap. An effort Appears to be
made by city officials to cut down expenses
for July, so that there will net be an over
lap In any of the funds. There Is Just
about enough money left to pay the polleo
for July and then the new levy will be
available.
City Treasurer Howe is expected to hand
In a report to the council on Monday night
showing the exact balances in all funds.
The treasurer's report will not be authentic,
aa the clerk Is not aware of the exact con
dition cf the pprk. library or scavenger
funds, ss the warrants for these funds do
not pass through his office.

LIGHTS, SEWERS AND PARKS
West Leavenworth Street Improvers
Have a Miscellaneous Lot
of Wants.
The West Leavenworth Street Improve
ment club held a big meeting lust night,
with Councilman Dyball and Bock present
as star attractions. The burden of the dis
cussion was the necessity for the immediate
curbing and guttering or Leavenworth
street In order to avail of the promise of
the park board and street committee of the
council to macadamise the street westward
from Thirty-eighth to the city limits..
The sewer question was also talked over,
but it was found that It will be Impossible
to have any sewer work done In the western
part of the Improvement district until the
Baddle creek storm sewer is extended south
of Fa mam and west of Thirty-eighth
streets.
A considerable number of signers Is still
needed for the necessary feet frontage for
curbing and guttering of Leavenworth
street, and until these are secured the
sewer matter will rest.
Councilman Back promised to aid the
district in every way possible In the mat
ter of needed improvements. He believes
thut at the coming election bonds should be
voted for both paving and sewer purposes.
Councilman Dyball talked briefly on the
subject of lights and gave Mr. Buck ths
credit for getting the six new lights now In
the district, having been furnished from
the surplus apportionment to First ward.
He said he would see to it that a needed
street rrosslng should be put in at Fifty
first and Tierce streets.
A vote of thanks was extended to Messrs.
Djbsll and B.-xck for what they have al-re-idy
done for the district.
The quest'en of Improving Elmwuod park
was brought up and a motion prevailed
that the park board, city council and Board
of County CommltMoners be Invited to the
next regular meeting of the club to discuss
this park matter. This mpeilng will be
held Friday evening, August 4.

SEARS HAS LIVELY TIME
Judge Listens to. Army of Lawyers
and Womnn Witness Becomes
Greatly Bewildered.
Judge Bears never had as strenuous a
time while he was speaker of the Ne
braska house of representatives as he had
Friday morning when seven attorneys were
severally and then all together claiming
his ear. A Mrs. Moore was on the stand
to give testimony in the case wherein an
effort Is being made to prove the lost will
of Peth M. Winch. Mrs. Moore was not
sccustomed to the ways of courts and was
especially Innocent 'of fhe methods of law
yers. It was not strange that she should
several times become utterly bewildered
to know what she should say or leave un
said. At Jtrst she tried to tell things In
the good old Indirect and roundabout way
that women have relied on since Eve was a
girl. This was stopped after much effort
and then Mrs. Moore would have wrung
pity from a veteran money lender by her
air of perplexity. She was plumb disgusted
and took no pains to hlCie her opinion of
the game in which she was for the time
being tho prmclpal figure.
"Can't I tell It?" she asked of Judge
Sears in a most pathetic manner. As the
court answered no, not In that way, her
expression plainly formed the wondering
question, "Well, what am I here for, then?"
The perplexity of the witness was not
strange, but the veteran in the game who
was on the bench got a run for his money
that put him keenly on his mettle. In op
position to the proof of the will are three
attorneys and for the proponents there are
four. Many times they were all sticking
their oar in and then the court made
ground rules. For a time these kept the
legal gentlemen tn their chairs, but of a
sudden they would all endeavor to suspend
the rules. Then Mrs. Moore viewed them
In amazed surprise, especially the chaps
who were preventing her from talking
when she wss by others directly requested
to keep on talking
After a while Judge Sears himself brushed
the questions or . the lawyers aside and
framed some of his own. This answered
for a time and some progress was made,
but at the present rate the last Jury of the
summer term will not be at liberty for a
week or two.
The main question sought to be estab
lished in the pending phase of this long
drswn-out rase Is the mental condition of
"old man Winch." as the attorneys call
him. Messrs. O&tnes, Nolan and Thomas
contend be was Insane and incompetent.
Messrs. Saunders, Wharton. Kaley and
Holmes Insist he was sane and competent
when he made his mill.
FONTANELLE GOVERNORS MEET
Leaders of Clab Hold Secret Session
to Disease Politics and
Candidates.
The board of governors of the Fontanelle
club gut together last night, with a fairly
good representation, for the first time since
last fall. Following out the first principle
of the board's constitution, the session wis
held In profound secrecy, and all who par
ticipated were sworn to aay nothing. D!
cusslun of prevailing and future local politi
cal conditions was had, nearly everyone
present taking a hand. It was a&uounced
officially after the meeting that no candl-
values

In double breasted and three
dates had been endorsed, but would be

and that the old-time art of conjuring "on

word and In the dark of the moon, would
be continued.
LEGAL BATTLE OVER A DOG
Policeman Shields and Charles
Howell Go to Coort to Settle
Possessorsulp.
Twenty-eight witnesses were placed on
the stand In Justice of the Peace Altstadt's
court yesterday afternoon, when the
Shlelds-Howell dng case was begun.
Attorney Kelkenney is representing Mar
tin Shields, the plaintiff and a member of
the police department, while Attorney GU
ler and Councilman Harry' Zlmman are
looking after the Interests of Charles
Howell, the defendant in the suit. The ar
guments will be heard at 1:30 this after
noon, after which It will be for Justice
Altstadt to say who shall have possession I
of the dog. The Altftadt court was crowded
all yesterday afternoon.
Shields testified he bought the dog of
Billy Simpson two years ago when the ani
mal was 2 months old. He snld he hod
possession of the dog up to October 1 of
last year, when the dog disappeared one
day while Mrs. Shields was In a hospital
and he was asleep. Shields said he next j
saw tne aog in iiowell s grocery store
about two months ago. At that time he
secured porsesBlon of the dog by replevin
and now says he will litigate for the dog
until he spends a year's earnings and sells
all he has, If that he necessary. Hn main
tains It is his dog and he Is going to stand
by the animal to the last ditch.
On the other hand, Mr. Howell and the
Yellowstone Gun club members are as
positive the dog In dispute was In the pos
session of Howell for several years. Howell
said he bought the dog from the city pound
July 16, lJot Poundmaater Laughland,
when placed on the stand, said he remem
bered selling Howell a brown setter dog
about that time, but could not say It Is the
same dog now being fought for. The dog
In litigation Is a liver-colored Irish spaniel.
Councilman Hoye said on the stand he
would give ri"0 for the dog. Edward Mor
ris, witness for the defense, said the dng
In question Is the same one Howell has
owned for some time and he remembered It
particularly on account of one occasion
when It swam the Platte river two miles
and became lost for awhile.

William Jennintrs Bryan takes exception
to being put in a class with President

"I don't consider myself of the same
type of man," declared Mr. Bryan, passing
through Bloux City on the way to South
Dukota on a lecturing tour. "And possibly
President Roosevelt would have objections
to the classification. I like some of the
things Roosevelt has clone and I cannot

his prosecution of the packers and his fight

RIVER IS OUT OF ITS BANKS
Missouri Is nislnar at Rate that
Threatens Dwellers la the
Bottoms.
If the Missouri river continues to raise
in the next twenty-four hours ss It has
in the past at least half a dozen families
living on Its western hank will have to
pack their household effects and seek dryer
places of abode. It Is stated by people who
have been watching the rise that the water
came up at least twenty-five Inches from
6 o'clock Thursday evening to about I P- m.
Friday, and from all appearances It is stilt
on the rise.
At the foot of Webster street Martin
KearnB, a plumber's helper, lives with his
family, and already the water Is commen
cing to creep Into their back yard, and has
found Its way over to the dog pound, a
distance of some twenty-five feet. The
water around the pound Is fully four feet
deep. A dog that has been confined In the)
pound In some munner managed to break
from his confinement late yesterday even
ing, and, being only a pup, had not yet
acquired the art of swimming, and started
out into the murky waters that had gath
ered around the place and almost lost his
life tn the attempt to free himself from
the bonds of the city's dog Jail. He was
rescued by some small' boys who had built
a raft and placed back In the pound to
servo out his sentence.
A goat belonging to the Kearns children
Is alxo in danger of losing Its life by the
rapidly raising water, and it requires the
vigilance of the boys In the vicinity to keep
him In a place of safety. Mr. Kearns has
lived on the banks of the river In the same
place for live years, nnd s'ates that he haa
never seen the water so high as It Is now.
A great quantity of driftwood Is floating
down the river and for this reason the
steamer Ounter, which plies up and down
the stream, did not make Its customary
trips yesterday. It will probably be com
pelled to stay on the wharf for some time.
The house of latrlck Ward, which Is Just
north of the Kearns home, Is almost en
tirely surrounded by water and there Is
danger of the river coming Into his house
before many hours.
