night and remained over until 1 o'clock
Friday, giving the travelers an opportunity
o see Omaha.
The John Cook special from Iowa and
Minnesota arrived over the Milwaukee Fri
day morning and did not leave until Fri
day afternoon at 3:30. There were TOO peo
ple on this train and they helped to swell
the numbers which are dally crowding the
hig passengers stations of the Uurllngton
and the other roads until It looked like
circus day. Depot Master Haney and his
corps of assistants at the Union station
are busied all the time to keep the tracks
cleared of the throngs which Insist In get

TORRANCE: AND OTHER NOTABLES
Several Distinguished G. A. R. Men
Anions; the Arrivals.
Past National Commsnder-ln-Chlef Ell
Torrance of Minneapolis of the Grand
Army ' of the Republic was among those
who arrived In the city Friday morning. He'
stopped at the Paxton- With him were
General L. W. Collins, associate Justice of
the supreme court of Minnesota and mem
ber of the National Council of Administra
tion of the Grand Army of the Republic;
General Bllas K. Towler, past adjutant
general of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic, president of the Board of State Sol
diers' Homes of Minnesota, and L. L.
Collins of the Minneapolis Journal. This
psrty was scheduled to go west at 4:10 p. m.
The party was enroute to the national
encampment at Denver, and are charged
with the duty of seeing that the next na
tional encampment Is held at Minneapolis.
The remainder of the Minnesota delega
tion will pass through the city this
morning.
Past Depar,m'"nt Commanders H. E.
Palmer and R. 8. Wilcox and Past Senior
Department Commander S. 8. Peters of
Nebraska met the distinguished party at
the Paxton. An Incident of the meeting
of the old veterans was the first meeting
for thirty-five years between General
Tomler and Mr. Peters, who were old
schoolmates and townsmen of Columbus,
O., and charter members of j. c. McCoy
Post No. 1 of Ohio. K.ach supposed the
other were dead for many years and the
meeting here was corret pondingly happy
and cordial. Both entered the army at the
outbreak of the civil wr and seited
throughout the war as mere schoolboys.
The Pennsylvania contingent consisting
of Posts 161 and M of the Department of
Pennsylvania arrived In the city Thursday
night, and left Friday afternoon. The
Pennaylvanlans number 307 veieran with
their families, ss well as Urj.- d-lt-ation
of Sons of Veterans of the Keystone state.
General John C. Black, past national
rommander-ln-rhlei of the Grand Army will
pass through the city today, arriv
ing In the morning and will remain ovtr
until the afternoon.
A large number of Pennsylvinluns. let-i-denis
of Omaha, delegated to li-emv-lvea
the pleasing iluty of showing the Penn
sylvania visitors over the city and there
were numerous meetings of old-tin.- friends
of the old war days, full of athetic lni.
I est. With the PennsylvanUns is a detach
ment of the old Ninth Pennsylvania cav
alry, several of whom were with Major
Peter Keenan In his famous charge agalnxt
Stonewall Jackson's victorious hos'.s at
the battle of Chancellors 'ilo. May 2, lbV.
at the time of the dispersion of Howard's
Eleventh corps. This charge was the most
dramatic and sanguinary of the entire war,
resulting In the almost complete annihil
ation of Mayor Kewnan's battalion of 300
men, and the deuth of M ilor Keenan. The
charge was made voluntarily at the sug
gestion of General Dan Sickles and General
Pleasanton, the latter commanding the cav
alry division, in order to check the mad
advance of Jackson's army long enough
for the artillery to get into position to stay
the charge, and by this sacrifice the Ninth
Pennsylvania, the day at Chancellorsvllle
was saved for the Union army, and an In
evitable rout of the I'nlon army was
turned Into a precarious victory.
There was also with the Pennsylvanlana
In Omaha a number of the famous Buck
tall regiment and a number of the Penn
sylvania reserve regiments that rendered
such heroic service at the Seven Days' bat
tle In the Peninsular campaign of 1862,, at
Gettysburg In 18rt3 and at the Wilderness
In lttt4. In brief there was not a battle
of the Potomac army In but what the
Pennsylvanlans rendered the most heroic
service, and Omaha Is honored In their
presence In the city.
Major Frederick C. Tucker of Mason
City, la., commander-in-chief of the Na
tional Order of Sons of Vetersns, Is In the
city, a guest at the Paxton, enroute to
the national encampment of that order, to
be held at Denver next week. Major
Tucker, while a son of a veteran of the
civil war, Is himself a veteran of the
Spanish-American war. He said. In refer
ence to the Sons of Veterans;
"We sre expecting a very significant re
vival of the Order of Sons of Veterans aa
a result of the great encampment at Den
ver. Being the natural Inheritors of the
Grand Army of the Republic, In view of
Its rapidly diminishing numbers we feel
more than ever the growing responsibility
devolving upon us to perpetuate the
achievements ot our fathers and carry on
the lessons of patriotism and loyalty
taught us by them. We are looking for
the largest attendance of our order at
Denver since its organization.

LOBECI SUGGESTS WAY OUT
City Comptroller Has Plan to Bare Possibly
Disastrous Oat.
BOSS OF CITY FINANCES OUTLINES SCHEME
Comptroller's Proposition Appeals to
the City Attorney In Business
Way. but Legality May
Be Doubtful.
Lying awake at night. City Comptroller
Lobeck has formulated a scheme for help
ing the fire and police funds out of the
slough of deficiency In which they have
been discovered. He presented his views
to the council In a letter. In which he
suggested a way out of the financial diffi
culty staring the continuation ot asphalt
repairs in the face. His first two proposi
tions, as formulated herewith, were sub
mitted to City Attorney Breen, who viewed
tham somewhat askance, from a legal
standpoint. Mr. Lobecks third sugges
tion was accepted. These are the ldeaa of
the comptroller:
To the Honorable, the Mayor and City
Council: It Is a self-evident fact that If
the fire department shall maintain Its pres
ent efficiency, the necessity of which can
not be denied or disputed, there will be a
deficiency In the lire fund at the end of
the year of marly 18,000.
I see only one way that this can be reme
died: for Instance, the bill for fire ap-
fiaratus bought of Seagrave & Co. was an
ndebtednexs Incurred during the year 1904.
amounting to JlS,n5. This was paid out of
the levy for lb. the appropriation ordi
nance being passed February io, linjo. If the
law had not been changed so that the ex
cess of 90 per cent and Interest collected on
regular taxes must go to the sinking fund,
a sum of over 113,000, based on the receipts
of llvl, would have been credited this year
to the fire fund, which would have made a
great difference In the account for the
year.
I would suggest, therefore, If It meets
the approval f your honorable body and
the law department, that the 115.
charged to the fire fund for the hook and
ladder trucks and hose wagons be credited
to the fire fund and charged to the general
levy fund, which is, as you know, an ac
cumulation of delinquent tax collections
for previous years. If this can be done
the services of the fire department need
not be seriously crippled, as It otherwise
would be.
In regard to the curb, gutter and paving
fund, which means the maintenance of the
asphslt repair plant, and the safety of our
streets. It seema to me thut this could be
provided for by the Issuance of a certifi
cate from the proper department that it is
s public necessity and must be taken care
of. and I bell-ve some way will be pro
vided to pay for the repairs on our asphalt
streets, the necessity of which cannot be
denied.
Relstiva to the police fund, there was st
the end of the year 1M J4 91a.o trans
ferred to the general levy fund, which can
be credited to the police fund for the year
19QS and charged to the general levy fund.
City Attorney Skeptical.
"Manipulation of the Seagrave bill, so
as to charge It back to the general levy
fund, which now takes up sll back taxes
coming In, may be accomplished." said
the city attorney, "but hardly In the man
ner suggested.
'The police fund cannot be recouped
In the manner suggested. I shall take the
whole matter up, however, and do all I
can to effect a solution.
"On the asphalt matter I have come to
the conclusion that we may go ahead
with the work and Issue warrants under
the emergency clause of the charter. The
work Is necessary to the public welfare
and to protect the city against damage
suits. The city engineer haa Informed me
that it will take not to exceed SS.000 to
complete the repairs In good shape. War
rants iaaued in the manner stated can be
paid legally out of the general levy or
sinking fund."
The city attorney advised the engineer
to keep on with the asphalt work and the
councllmen acquiesced In the arrangement.
Of the amount to be spent about $3,600
will go for material and salaries to men
who have to be employed the year round
for the municipal asphalt plant.
He Is not at liberty to give out any In
formation, but says the hoti-1 is a "cinch.
Mr Miller declares he is willing to pa'
ilSOOo a vear for the Paxton and miike
repairs, bringing his offer at least ti.uuu
above that of Mr. Kitchen.
CORRECT SOLUTION NEEDED
Chairman Kennard of Connly Board
Dlaensars Redlatrletlnsr
Plan Proposed,
Relative to the proposed redisricting of
the five county commissioner districts.
Chairman Kennard of the Board of
County Commissioners says:
"I apprehend that the committee of the
whole, of which Comissioner Hofeldt Is
chairman, will not meet before Tuesday or
Wednesday of next week. As suggested In
The Bee, there Is more than one view of
this matter. It Is not only the question of
how the county commissioners shall be
nominated and elected, but there Is the
city election to be considered. Whether
we are republicans or democrats, we want
this proposition considered from all sides.
"Personally, I care very little, and I feel
that the other county commissioners are
actuated by the same spirit. What we
want Is to svold what Judge Redick calls
Irreconcilable conclusions. We can afford
to watt until the last possible moment to
have these matters of detail settled by the
best legal advice procurable.
"The point on which one or two other
commissioners and myself dMTer Is Imma
terial, In a general way, If we can arrive
at the proper method of redisricting,
nominating and electing. Commissioner
Brunlng's resolution may be a good and
reasonable solution of a very much mixed
question, but The Bee editorial suggests
the thought I have: That while lawyers
may disagree, there must he a sane and
satisfactory solution that will once for all
settle the question until the law Is per
fected. That Is whst we want."
TRACK WALKER BADLY HURT
Thomas Dixon I'nlon Pnclfte Kmplojf,
Struck by Illinois Central '
Train.
Thomas Dixon, a track walker for the
I'nlon Pacific, was struck by an Illionis
Central passenger train In the yards at
the foot of Davenport street about 8 o'clock
last night and suffered a compound frac
ture of the right arm, a broken ankle and
Is thought to have received Internal In
juries along with being budly cut about
the face and body.
Dixon wus returning home from work
about 3 o'clock and when approaching the
railroad crossing his attention was at
tracted to some children pluying danger
ously near the track. He turnod to warn
them of the approach of a switch engine
and in this way did not aee or hear the
coming passenger train. Before the engi
neer of the passenger could bring his train
to a stop Dixon was knocked down and
dragged nearly fifty feet. He was picked
up by the yard crew and taken to the
police station, where Surgeon Langdon
temporarily dressed his injuries, after
which he was taken to St. Joseph's hospital.
He was resting easily late last night.
Dixon lives at Eighth and Webster streets.

badly sprained foot, which was attended
to by Police Surgeon Cox.
WARNER WILLING TO SERVE
Would Take Chairmanship of Repub
lican Mate Committee, bnt
Would Not Flaht for It.
Former State Senator William P. Warner
of Dakota City stopped off In Omaha on
his return from Portland between trains,
but long enough to set himself right on
the matter of the chairmanship of the
Dtnubllcan state committee.
"Political friends In my section have
asked me to be a candidate and I have
told them I would accept It, but would
make no special effort to get It," said
Senator Warner. "If tjie party should ask
me to serve as chairman I would give of
my best talents. I would not want the
place If It were to come to me only after
a light."
Senator Warner Is one of the Nebraska
commissioners to the Portland fair and
was out on official aa well as personal
matters. He has been a member of tha
state committee and of the executive committee.
