the flames without the assistance of the
fire department.
About 6 p. 11. Tuesday Mrs. Jones lighted
her gasoline stove to prepare supper for
her grandsons, Earl and Warren Bonner,
with whom tie lived. A gust of wind blew
the gasoline (lame out and the fluid ran
over the stove and on tha floor. Her eye

stood over a puddle of gasoline on the
floor while she carefully wiped the stove
clear before lighting the burner again.
When she struck the second match the
gasoline on the floor ignited and immedi

CARD FROM MANAGER COLE
Hesrardlnsr tha Wedding; Snnday, July
SO, aad the Tunr la a
Balloon.
Its a well known fact that perhaps there
Is no vocation In the world's business af
fairs that is so thoroughly abused as the
amusement business. Unscrupulous man
agers are ever alert to humbug the people
with their offerings without any thought of
the boomerang results. Many are unchar
itable enough to declare that the marriage
advertised by me between Mr. George
Young and Miss Dora Rogers, to take place
on July 30, is not to be real, nor wfll they
make their bridal tour In a basket attached
to a balloon. In an effort to prove sincer
ity of my intentions, I beg to say that
I have had a brand new balloon especially
constructed, which will be tested by prac
tical aeronauts before It will start upon its
responsible journey. Have taken out
through the regular channels the required
license. Engaged Hon. D. M. Vlnsonhaler,
county judge, to perform the ceremony.
All this must have more or less bearing
upon my honest Intentions, and as a final
guarantee I will agree to present to any
charitable organization In the city city the
sum of 11,000, or . to any individual who
cares to Investigate and prove fraud. In
conclusion I can only say that nothing but
the elements can deter my Intentions to
give Omaha the most original amusement
feature ever drawn off in an honest man
ner. "
The marriage will occur between t and 6
o'clock Sunday afternoon) the wind to gov
ern the exact moment. Mr. and Mrs.
Young will hold a public reception in the
evening upon their return.- In good faith,
W. W. COLE, Manager Krug Park.

Of late there has been so much dlscus
I slon about the laying of cinder sidewalks
that property owners have protested. Pro
testants have called singly and In pairs at
the city offices to protest against what they
call an uncalled for showing of authority
on the part of the city officials In ordering
elnder walks. It appears that many resi
dents and property owners where walks
have been ordered laid do not want to go
to the expense of putting down cinder
walks, but prefer some other material.
Cinder walks are good only until the streets
are graded, where, If other material Is laid
the walks can be taken up and used again
after the proposed grading is completed.
The council does not have any Intention
of compelling the laying of cinder walks,
but prefers the property owners to select
the material. This matter of laying walks
Is made plain by trie statement of W. C.
Lambert, city attorney, who U authority
for the following:
In the drafting of the ordinances for tem
porary or permanent sidewalks, the utmost
care has been used to give the property
owner the widest latitude In the selection
of material for surh sidewalks. None of
the ordinances directed that the property
owner shall use cinders In the construction
of the sidewalks. It Is optional with him
to use cinders, stone (natural or artificial),
brick or other material of a permanent
nature; and he has fifteen full days from
the notice In which to lay the walk. How
ever, if the property owner does not lay
the walk within the fifteen days, then the
ordinance provides thnt the contractor shall
lay a cinder walk, because a cinder walk is
probably the cheapest material that could
be used: and, besides. It Is easier to secure
uniformity and to prevent abuses by requlr
! lng cinders. The law and the ordinances
I have been framed with the Interest of the
I property owners In view, and at the same
time to secure sidewalks, the use of which
I will not be a constant source of personal
, Injury suits against the city. Any prop
erty owner who desires to lay or have laid
! hla own walk has the widest possible latl-
tude, both In the selection of the material
, and In the selection of the different width
of the walk. And, consequently, It would
seem there Is llttlo reason to complain of a
cinder walk If the property owner falls to
construct his own sidewalk within the time
allowed.
Council Meetlnsr Tonlht.
This evening the city council will meet in
adjourned session. It is expected that an
ordinance will be passed creating an Im
provement district for Twenty-fourth street
from A to Q streets and also a paving dis
trict. Since the city attorney declared that
the remonstrance to the paving on Twenty
fourth street did not contain a sufficient
number of signatures the council proposes
to go ahead and do what it can toward hav
ing the street paved. When this ordinance
is passed and signed by the mayor the next
thing will be the advertising for bids for
the work. It will be at this stage that the
people opposed to the paving will coma In
with a restraining order. This action Is
expected by members of the council, but the
body declares that It will use every effort
to have the street paved.
Mayor Koutsky has signed the Missouri
avenue paving Contract and tonight the
city clerk will most likely be directed to
advertise for bids for the bonds to be Is
sued. The paving, grading and curbing will
cost about Hfl.000. Since the court has held
that the contract with Hugh Murphy la
good. It Is supposed that the Issue of bonds
will be legal and that there will be little
difficulty In securing a purchaser for tha
bocds.
Holding; Back Sheep.
C. D. Mlnter of Upton, Wyo.. was a visi
tor at the stock yards yesterday. He said
that every Indication pointed to a success
ful season for stockmen and that the ranges
were in better condition than for a long
time past. "Sheep are in fine condition,"
said Mr. Mlnter, "but flock owners are hold
ing back on account of the high price of
wool'. When a sheep owner can get $2 for
his wool and only S3.50 for his sheep he Is
going toehold onto his sheep." The lamb
crop Is reported to be about as heavy aa
usual. Cattle are In better condition than
for several years, declared Mr. Mlnter, and
big herds will be marketed this fall. In
coming down to this market Mr. Mlnter
said that he saw signs of prosperity all the
way along and that he predicted a great
year for ranchmen.
Captain Tnraejnlst's Vacation.
Captain Nils Turnqulst of the police de
partment wilt leave today with his family

he Is to get a vacation. While Turnqulst
is away Captain Shields, the senior Captain
of the department, will take the night
shift. Turnqulst has promised that he will
send a basket of fish to police headquarters
twice a week while he is away, and the
gang around headquarters hopes that he
will.

CHILD'S BODY IN THE RIVER
Little Girl is Drowned, bet Circum
stances of the Accident Are
' Not Known.
John Kohut and James Dalexal, living
on the river bottoms at the foot of Pop
pleton avenue, yesterday afternoon noticed
In the river a floating body that proved
to be the dead daughter of James Koskan,
First and Williams streets. The girl, 6H
years of age, was reported to the police as
having left her home about 6 p. m. Monday.
It la not known how she was drowned,
but the supposition Is she may have
stumbled over one of the logs along the
river bank, and thus fell Into the water.
She lived close to the waters' edge.
When the mother, Frances Koskan, ar
rived at the 'boat containing the body of
her daughter she gave way to deep grief
and clung tightly to the coroner's basket
from the boat to the wagon. The father of
the girl is a laborer. Coroner Bralley has
taken charge of the body.
