TIAVC CITTTC A lug 1508 Dodge Street FIGHT ON ELECTRIC WIRES, Street Eailway and Electric Light Com pany Likely to Lock Horns. FORMER WANTS MORE TIME TO BURY WIRES (.tty Electrician Mlchaelsen Alio Oppose the Estenalon Because it Will Retard Redaction of Insurance Rntea. A sharp light In the council is Indicated over the ordinance introduced Tuesday l ight by Councilman. Ev ins which seeks to ixtend the time when electric light, heat nd power wires in the downtown districts iiav to b placed underground to October t, 1906. Councilman Evans said the measure was put in at the request of the street railway company, which has wires supplying elec tric current for light and power and cannot conveniently put its wires In conduits until i.ext year. As the proposition came with out warning it was simply referred to a lommittee, without debate. The electric light peoplo regard the move r. one designated principally to give the itreet railway company additional grounds f r assuming that its right to sell electric current for light and power purposes Is good because undisturbed by the city and sanctioned on the "vested rights" theory. The street railway company has no fran chise authorising carrying on such a busi ness; but for several years it has supplied current to Hayden Bros., the Klopp & , Partlett Printing company, the Byrne l.'animer company and other large Arms. The wires are run overhead and are af fected by the general ordinances requiring t'-e burying of all electric light wlrws. For a long time the electric fight lnter osts have been promising a war on the rtreet railway company, but the fight has rot been brought to a crisis. The Evans ordinance Is expected to "bring this up, because it Is regarded in the nature of in assent by the city to the street rail way company's rights In the premises. The ' subject is an old and very tender spot be tween the two companies and Intimations -e given that the fight In the council ill be to a finish. Mlcliaelaen Oppose Ordinance. City Electrician Mlchaelsen ays that he sill .oppose the ordinance. "Other and nore Important matters sre involved thun : m squabble between the street railway nd the electrlo light company," said he. The Insurance companies promised this ity a material reduction In tire rat?s If ill electric wires In the downtown dis'rict . ere burled, poles removed, etc. This 111 be an accomplished fact within sixty I lys if the street railway ilght and power Ires go below the surface. Then our tiHtuance reduction will be due. The or 1 nance would give any company the right o overhead wires for at least another y ar. t Is likely the lnsurv.ice into ut will be Katrottcd long.

To the Kdltor of The Bee: Please let me thank Mr. James Richardson for his letter In The Bee de fending our public school teachers. I do not know the particulars of the case in question and cannot express any views thereon, but I was very much pained an-1 surprised when 1 saw such estimable men as my honored old friends. Dr. Miller and Mr. Samuel Burns rush Into print censvr ing our Omaha public school teachers for punishing a child without first thoroughly Inquiring Into the facts which prompted the punishment.. In the more than a quar ter century I have been In Omaha I have had six of my own children In our public schools and I never once found the teacher do an Injustice or a wrong to any child. As for my part I think we should be proud of our public schools, the great bulwark of our country. and that It Is every citizen's, and particu larly tho parents,' solemn duty to stand by the teachers. If we all do that there will be no trouble with "corporal punish ments," simply because no child would need It. E. A. FOQELSTBOM.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Mioh Interest Being Dinplsysi ii the Sewer Bond Proposition. SENTIMENT IS NOT YET CRYSTALIZED All Admit Seed of Sewers, bnt Some Inclined Balk on Addlna- Any thing to Already Large City Debt. Property owners In particular and voters generally appeal to be taking quite an In terest In the sewer bond proposition. For the last two or three days dosens of prop erty owners have called at the office of the city clerk for the purpose of looking at the sewer map. This Is done by many to ascertain Just how close the proposed sewers come to their property. There seems to be a I'ecling that the enlaige- ment of the sewer system Is a necessity. Positive opinions on the proposition am not being expressed to any great extent. The question Is to be given a thorough canvass, as It Is the Intention to have the matter discussed at public meetings dur ing the campaign. Just at the present time there seems to be more Interest In the sewer bond than In many of the can didates to be voted on in November. Those advocating the sewers call atten tion to the cases In the federal court to compel the abatement of the Mud creek nuisance. It was with the understanding that the voters of South Omaha would soon consider the sewer question that Guy C. Barton and others agreed to let the pres ent suits rest for the time being. From those who did not take kindly to the amount to be voted for sewers comes the statement that the bonded debt of the city Is now high enough and that interest on $250,000 sewer bonds will amount to nearly $12,000 each year. The question of handling the count for sewer bonds on the voting machines is still unsettled. It has been suggested that In case there Is no other way the tally can be taken off the machines when the voting closes at 6 p. m. and then lock the ma chines and permit the voting of sewer bonds to continue until 7 o'clock. Some method will be devised for the voting on the sewer bond proposition to continue un til 7 p. m. on the day of election, but no definite plan has been decided upon yet. Vagrants Fare Juda-e Kins. The South Omaha police are arresting all suspicious characters and vagrants and aro keeping them In a nice cool place during the Omaha carnival. Of the dozen or more before Judge King Friday nearly all drew either a Jail sentence or a half dozen days on the rock pile. The heads of the police department here declare there Is llttla thieving going on at the present time and they only hope that the police Judge will keep up the good work of sentencing va grants and suspicious characters to the rock pile. Some of the Idle class ordered to leave Omaha are drifting down this way, but the cars are watched closely and often arrests are made as soon as a land ing Is made here. Celestial, Pay Taxes. John Lung Chang, a Chinaman, formerly of Chicago, but now a resident of Omaha, called at the city treasurer's office Friday afternoon and paid back taxes amounting to $11!). Cl-ang owns lot 7. in block 92. which he purchase! so;i!t? years ago for $4,600. The valuation on this lot Is now $2,400. Chang has only recently returned from China, where he spent two years.

It was pulled by two teams, the front one of which was hitched to the wagon tongue by means of a trace chain. Wrhen the wagon was about half way up the Incline the chain broke, and. one team not being able to hold the load. It started backward, dragging the horses with It. The wagon ran off the Incline and dropped about fifteen feet, landing upside down. The horsea, hanging by their heads to the tongue, which stood In aa upright post Hon, i l oa thttix hauAabes oa the up- turned bottom of the wagon.

Tesr hy year records are published of the destruction of human and cattle life by the wild beasts and snakes of British India. I.at year 24.578 human beings and 9G.??ft cattle were killed, and of the people a.S27 deaths were attributed to snakes, while of the cattle S0.00O were killed by wild beasts, panthers being charged with SO.OoO of this total; snakes accounted for 16.000. And this Is but trifling percentage of the actual annual mortality, as It excludes the feuda tory states, with their 700.000 square miles and 00.000,000 inhabitants, where no records are obtainable. Last year 1.2R5 tigers, 4.S70 panthers and leopards, 2,000 bears and 1,086 wolves were killed; of snakes the real scourge of India no record is possible, and , unfortunately comparatively few nre destroyed. The descent upon promising crops by deer and pigs and monkeys, would be even more serious to India and more expensive to the natives were It not for the tiger, ranther and leopard. This formidable trio of the cat family practically police agricultural India where It pushes Into the Jungle and makes It possible for the poor native to exist through cultivation of his fields. Undoubtedly the depredations of the tiger are overestimated, because It Is so feared that wherever It prowls Invariable panic spreads widely to its discredit. Pnnthers are bolder In attack, more active and more generally vicious than tigers; yet they Inspire nothing like such awe among the natives. Indeed, I have seen natives rally to the defense of a dog, of which leopards are particularly fond, when had the Intruder been a tiger they would have been paralyzed Into Inaction by very fear.
