passing on ditch claims
Joint Board of uperiiors Put in Dtj at
tbe Work.
GENERALLY FOLLOW APPRAISERS' REPORT
Some Who Fall to File Claims In
Time Come In and Ask Da manes,
bat the Claims Are
Ilejerted.
The Board of Supervisors of Pottawat
tamie and Harrison counties were In Joint
session all day Wednesday, considering the
report of the special appraisement com
mittee, appointed to a.ssesa the damages
rustained by the property through which
the Joint drainage ditch pAJses. The Joint
board very generally followed the recom
mendations of the committee, changing
them only In a few Instances.
The rule was adopted at the outset to ap
prove no claims for damages where the
property waa not touched by the ditches,
and allow damai only for such claims
where property was actually taken for
ditch construction.
A number of lielated claimants came be
fore the board to secure an allowance of
damages who had neglected to file their
claims within the statutory limit through
carelessness and neglect. In some Instances
the claimants admitted that they had ample
notice to file their claims, but had failed to
do so through carelessness. The board was
of the opinion that the belated claimants
had slept on their rights, and no action was
taken by the Joint board for their relief.
It is possible that some tangle will yet
arise out of these cases, as It Is shown In
several Instances that considerable valuable
property will have to be appropriated for
which no compulsory damuges have been
provided for.
, Claims Allowed.
After allowing the following list of claims
the Joint board adjourned until 9:ivt Thurs
day morning:

No Contest Over Blar Lake.
The visit of the Council Bluffs Park
board with Attorney C. M. Harl to Pea
Moines has resulted In assurance from
Governor Cummins and other members of
the state executive council that the state
would do nothing to deprive the city of
Council Bluffs of the use of the Big lake
tract as a park.
It was tacitly agreed that the Injunction
which the city haa brought to restrain the
secretary of state from selling a right-of-way
through the park to the Illinois Cen
tral railroad will not be resisted by the
state. A like understanding has been had
with the railroad company, and this Is
evidence of the fact that the title of the
city to the lake will not be disturbed for
the present.

MOODY TALKS WITH PRESIDENT
Question of Changing laws Govern
ing the Prosecution of Crimes
la Considered.
OYSTER BAT. I I., Aug. t Attorney
General Moody, who came here yesterday
to visit President Roosevelt, left today for
Washington to give personal attention to
the Investigations of the Agricultural de
partment. Mr. Moody also discussed with
he president a variety of other topics. The
ecllnatlon of W. W. Cotton to accept the
ppolntment of United States district Judge
or the district or Oregon was taken up,
but no agreement was reached as to a
further appointment. Judge Cotton did not
qualify after his appointment, simply Indl
eating to the president that on account of
his private business arrangements he found
himself unable to accept the tender of the
office.
Mr. Moody said the president and he con-
Idcred In a general discussion of the laws
bearing on prosecutions In United Statee
courts the necessity for amendments to the
criminal laws of the United States. They
agreed, he said, that congress ought to
make certain amendments to existing stat
utes, as the law under which the courts are
now operating rendered It often difficult to
reach a man who might be guilty of wrong
doing. As an Illustration of this, Mr,
Moody said It waa far more difficult to take
man from one United States court's Juris
diction Into another United States court's
urlsdlctlon than It Is for the state of Maioe
to get a criminal It wants from the state
of California.
Among the matters which the president
and Attorney General Moody consldored
was the prosecution of the meat packers
under the Indictment In Chicago. The prose
cution will be pressed vigorously by the
government.

NOT UNANIMOUS OVER DITCHES
Some Insist the Slpnghs Are
Benefit. ',
VERMILLION, S. D Aug. t. (Special.)
Membera of the county boards of Yankton
and Clay counties put In -a atrenuoua day
yesterday hearing arguments for and
against the construction of drainage ditches
on the Missouri bottom to arry off surplus
water that may come from overflow or
heavy rains. Many farmers-from both aides
of the county line were present, and the
majority registered a kick against the pro
posed ditches as outlined by tho petitions
signed by F. H. hlttaker and others
Some ot these against the proposition were
of the opinion that the cost of construction
would greatly exceed the benefits to be de
rived, while others thou ' the plan not
feasible for the reason t.iat the ditches
could not be built so as to drain the bot
tom properly. Some even went so far as
to say that they did not want their land
drained at all aa the sloughs when full of
water were a great benefit to them In dry
years. One ianxion county iarmer cuumeo.
that in 1S94 when most farmers were hard
hit on account of lack of moisture he raised

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Carelessness of Garbape Hauleri is Making
Much Trouble.
MAIN SANITARY SEWER BADLY CLOGGED
Efforts to Clear the Bis Dart Hare
Failed So Far and Condition la
Getting; Worse Every
Hour.
The main sanitary sewer to the river Is
stopped up at a point on Railroad avenue
Just south of N street. Workmen In the ,

filled with water to a depth of eleven feet.
Other measures will be taken to open the
sewer.
President Adklns of the city council, along
with the city engineer, found by Investiga
tion that garbage had been dumped Into
the manholes. When nn excavation was
made, tin cans, refuse of all kinds, and
even pony beer-kegs ware found In tho I
sewer. More than likely quite n section
of the sewer will have to be dug up and
the sewer cleaned before the big pipe will
be of any service. . In the meantime, those
living or having business places on Railroad
avenue are protesting emphatically.
"You may say as coming from me," said
Councilman Adklns, "that In the future
any hauler of gartmge found dumping re
fuse Into a sewer will be arrested, and If
guilty will be heavily fined. If the present
ordinance Is not strong enough an amend
ment can be made. This practice of haulers
of garbage using the city sewers for a
dumping place must be stopped."

AT IT FOR THIRD QFIcENTURY
Colonel Welch Completes Thlrty
Seeond Year aa Maker and
Dlapenaer of Weather.
Weather Forecaster W eicn late Tuesday
evening rapped off hUt thirty-second Joar
as the chief custudlan of the breexes and
hllxzards, the hot winds and the sand
storms, at all times and on all occasions
keeping In close touch with the almanac
and the goose bones. .
Colonel Welch has dispensed weather,
good and bad. In many places, but Just
how many the genial barometer Wednes
day refused to tell, because he was too
busy fllrtirlng up Tuesday's rain to look up
the matter, and, besides, there are things
he said which should be forgotten. ' When
Colonel Welch came to Nebraska, In 1$S7
or thereabouts, people In the western part
of the state knew not what rain was like,
except as they heard of It In Missouri from
some ot the Immigrants, but today he
points with pride to the fact that Sheridan
county last year had as much rain as
Dodge and more, and that people have
been drowned In the open prairie. This
splendid condition of affairs Colonel Welch
modestly admits Is due to his Impartial
manner of handling the rain and letting
It fall on the Just and the unjust alike.
Easter hats and straw hats, It makes no
difference to him.
Colonel Welch sent his thirty-second year
out with nice little imitation of a rain
storm, Just to see If hit hand was still In,
allowing 15 inches to fall In Omaha, with
from one-half to three-fourths of an Inch
over most of the state, while for a mo
ment he Jumped into Iowa and gave to
the Des Moines man 120 Inches to scatter
over that state. In Bome portions of which
two Inches fell. In fact, Colonel Welch
said a right smart lot of ruin fell.
Colonel Welch Is a man who Is always
ready to answer a civil question.
"You have been In this business so long,
how do yiu like weather?" waa asked
him.
"Oh, fine; Just the finest kind eh er
what did you say?"
"Make it a pony."
PROTEST AGAINST FLUSHING
City Engineer Deelarra Thla Mode of
Cleaning: Streets Dnmagrea
tbe Asphalt.
City Engineer Roscwater'a protest against
the constant sprinkling of asphalt streets
Is as follows:
I deem it my duty to call the attention
of the council to the damaging results
which follow tho sprinkling of our asphalt
paved streets. We have today about forty
mues or aspnaii pavements m me city.
which have cost us over J2.0o0.uo0. So large
an Investment ought Certainly to warrant
the city authorities in getting the best pos
stole results from It. Asphalt pavements
are simply one rorm ot artinclai sand
stone. The cementing material, of which
not much over 10 pel cent Is asphalt, has the
remainder composed of sand and llmedust
Sandstone when wet wears more readily
as evinced by grindstones, than when urv
The Impermeable nature of asphslt pave
ments is sucn mat tne sngniest aepression
even the twentieth of an Inch, will hold
water and while In that condition wear
away faster than when dry. That class of
pavement In a majority of cities Is cleaned
by sweeping and washed only during In
tervals of rain.
In the central business section of the
city the raving can be kent clean bv dallv
hand labor and much money saved by the
increase of wearing capacity than by the
practice of sprinkling, which only lays the
ausi, oui ooes not Clean tne streets.
therefore urge upon you such sction ns
will remedy the evil complained of and add
longevity to our aspnait paved streets.
The city engineer opposes street flushing
only because It is more expensive than
other forms of cleaning, costing In Omaha
from $30 to $35 a mile. It Is against the
continual sprinkling that he Is urging an
immediate change, however.
CASKET FACTORY BUILDING
Kew Plant of Double Capacity to De
Erected at Seventeenth and
I sard Streets.
The Omaha Casket company, whose plant
at Thirteenth and Grace streets was de
stroyed by a cyclone In May, will erect a
$40,000 factory at Seventeenth and Izard
streets on ground recently bought by them
through the real estate firm of llarrisod St
Morton.
Tenants In the four houses on the prop
erty have been notified that they must
leave. It Is expected to nave these houses
moved or torn down In time that construc
tion may begin by September 1.
Tbe new factory will double the cafacty
of the company.' Between fifteen and
twenty men will be employed, where now
only eight or ten are given work. It will
be three stories and a basement and will
be built of brick. Its Seventeenth street
frontage, will be sixty-six feet and its I:ard
street frontage ninety-nine feet. In addi
tion an L shaped part will run back to the
tracks In the alley.
The building will be made strong enough
that two more stories can be added at any
time. Plana are in the hands of an arch
ltect,
Since the destructloa of the old factory
the company haa been In temporary quar
ters at Eleventh and Nlcholaa atreets. Its
cperatlons here hava been of necessity very
much handicapped.
And many other painful and" serious
ailments from which most mothers
suffer, can be avoided by the use of
"Motsirt Frle.a." This creat remedy
is a God-send to women, carrying
them through their most critical
ordeal with safety and no pain.

CATTLEMAN'S J)AY IS PASSING
Kehraska Rangers, Sna Alliance Man,
Will Soon Re Thing of Past,
Reennse of Uncle Sam.
E. E. Ixwe. a cattleman of Alliance, wag
In Omaha Tuesday nfternon on business
and Inciderttnlly remarked that the days of
the cattle men In Nebraska were about
over as the government was certainly 1n
earnest In making the cattlemen take dowa
their fences ' which enclose goverrlment
lands.
'Cattlemen have fenced over a million
acres of government lanns, sain Mr.
Ixiwe, "but the land Is not fit for anything
but grazing. We can't lease the land from
the government and the only excuse there
Is for tearing down the fences la to allow
the settlers to come In and go to farming.
There Is not one ranchman in a hundred
but who will help a settler who comes there
to live. What I mean by that Is a bona
fide settler. There are lots of men who
come In there pretending to be settlera but
who merely want to compel the cattlemen
to give them money to gel out. Theae kind
of people of rouree get hard sledding, but
the bona fide settler will have no trouble.
Now If the government persists In making
ua take down the fences, and of course
It will, then the size of the herds will ba
reduced to at least one half. This because
you see the cattlemen all have wind mills
and by them water their own stock. The
fences protect tho water. By having tha
fences a cattleman can round up his cattle
within a couple of days, while without the
fences It will take him a couple of weeks.
Of course I know the fences have to come,
they are coming down now, but I think
something should be sakl favorable to tha
cattlemen."
