Hitch la Opening- Street
It appears that there will be a hitch or
two In the way of opening Twenty-fifth
tract from A north to the boulevard. Some
time ago a number of cltlxens circulated a
subscription for the purpose of raising
funds to do thla grading and also to
buy the street, which waa at the time part
of the property of the Krug Brewing com
pany. The "purchase was. made and the
grading begun, but new two or more citl
ens come on with the statement that their
property has been damaged by the proposed
grading, and the claim Is also put forth
that the grade of the street at this point
ha never been established. One of the
men Is a resident of South Omaha and
another la a resident of Omaha. The clalma
of these parties will have to be met In all
probability or. an Injunction will put a atop
to the work. .The Intention waa to make
Twenty-fifth street aa far as F street a
part of the boulevard. .The whole enter
prise Is private and the city knows nothing
of It officially,
'set Dlvlaloa la Police Board.
According to the statements of W. . B.
Van Bant and A. L. Berqulst, of the Board
of Flra and Police commissioners, another
meeting of the board will be attempted
next Tuesday night. These two members
accuse the rest of the board of refusing
to meet. The division of sentiment has
arisen over the South Omaha Sunday
closing proposition It la n4w admitted by
Sir. Van Bant that he and Mr. Berqulst
aid meet the. governor In Omaha at the
time of his last vls(t. They do not care to
state any of the resulta of- this Interview.
Mr. Van Bant, however, takes Issue with a
statement Issued In the form of an order
by a. W. Masson. quoted In last flunday'a
paper, as follows
In regard to G. W. Maaaon's pretended
orders annealing In' last Hiiniiav n
about the aaloona not closing promptly at

would appear and attend the board meet
ings to which he has been time and again
called, and transact aueh business with the
board as a body. This Maeson, Nolan and
Nixon have refused to do for the naat two
months. This Idea of one or two members
or tne ooaxa issuing orders on the aide,
has demoralised the good effect .which the
oo era once naa on the saloons and officers,

If a girl makes up to represent herself
as of some other nationality than her
own, and by that subterfuge wins a hus
band, can she be tried before the peo
ple's bar. the bar of public opinion or
any other bar for obtaining a husband
by false pretenses?
No matter how this question IS an
swered the laws of Nebraska declare that
mlecegnatlou Is one of the things peo
ple shall not be guilty of within the boun
daries of the rich and fertile Antelope
state. And that Is why county author
ities take the position that the marriage
of Michael Antokal and Nettle Tuenner
Is Illegal and will bear a little closer In
spection than the naked eye Is capable
ot making.
This unusual cane of matrimonial leger
demain came to light In Omaha Saturday
afternoon, when It was reported thst
Mlchsel Antokal of 101 South Twelfth
street, wooed, won and married Miss Net
tle Tuenner, thinking all the while the
young woman wsa a Jewess, but later to
learn she was a mulatto.
Dr. Canld Is Deceived.
Acquaintances ot the couple affirmed that
the woman "made iy" effectively as a
Jewess during the courting period, but
when Antokal recovered from that form
of blindness Inflicted by Dr. Cupid, the
groom refused to sllow a little thing like
mlscegnatlon to affect his hesrt, proving
that true love knows no particular race,
creed or color.
Mlsa Tuenner a birthplace was registered
with the license' clerk as Kentucky, hlle
Antokal declared he waa born In Russia.
The woman Is a light mulatto and 24
years of age, while ber husband is 23.
Antokal Is proprietor of a lodging house
at 101 South Twelfth atreet.
Questioned regarding the alleged pre-
nuptial duplicity of the woman Antokal
refused to ssy anything for publication.
The groom did Intimate that he and his
wife were happy and Intended to live hap
pily for ever afterward.
When the marriage license waa obtained
the clerk remarked to Antokal that his
wife looked like a colored woman, but
the groom looked confused and declared
the woman was not a negress. County
Judge Leslie performed the ceremony a
few days ago.

Last evening Sergeant Vanous, De
tectives Mitchell and Shepherd and Emerg
ency Officer Hell were detailed from the
police station to go to Cut-Off lake and
look for some men suspected of stealing
old Iron and brass. It waa reported the
suspects maintained a "fence" in a tent
along the lake. A tent was located and
the policemen entered only to find Mr. and
Mrs. McOraw, who are well known to the
police, though not the parties in quest at
that particular time. Thinking the Mc-
Graws might have known something of the
men the police were looking for they, were
told to don their clothes quickly and go to
tall. " Having dressed,- the McGraws aaked
permission to go through the rear of the
tent to an adjoining room the officers
thought.
The police waited long and patiently
until they grew Suspicious. Opening the
rear of the tent their vision extended over
the lake with the McGraws pulling for the
opposite shore In a boat.
After skulking In the tent for a minute
the policemen wended their way back to
headquarters and told the captain they had
had a "water haul." In police parlance
"water haul" means when a prisoner or
prisoners escape In a boat on Cut-Off lake
at night time with four offlcera left waiting
In a tent.

ward taken to the police station, where
her wounds' were dressed by Police Sur
geons Elmore and Flynn, an ugly cut on
the head requiring eleven stitches to closa
and numerous bruises also required atten
tlon. Later she was conveyed home and
no serious complications are expected, de
spite the fact that she Is an elderly woman.
Owing to the darkness Mrs. McCheane
was nnable to give a description of her

NIOBRARA, Neb. Aug. I. To the Ed
itor of The Bee: It requires only a very
short atsy In Knox county to enable the
most careless and superficial observer to
comprehend that prosperity has smiled
upon the farmer and It Is hardly a surprise
hat he la content with present conditions.
I had occasion to visit a ranchman a few
miles tast of thla city. I mention him
only because hs furnishes a handy exam
ple. I have known him for twelve years,
and eight years sgo he was engaged In
other business and had lost everything.
Byton O. Foreman came to Knox county
and ran In debt for land. Today he has
400 acres worth o0 per acre and a herd
of Hereford cattle that almply beggar de
scription and whose present market price
would pay off the small debt against the
land, and he has made It all off of this
land. He took me up upon the bluff and
showed me his broad acres and fine timber
grass land and one of the finest artesian
wells In northeastern Nebraska, when I
referred him to the story of ths tempta
tion of Christ by Batan. He laughed and
Invited me to the house, where I was
royally entertained. While we were partak

WILBUR F. BRYANT.
Insurance Trast Fands.
NEW YORK. Aug. 1. To ths Editor of
The Bee: My attention has been Vailed to
an editorial In your Issue of the 22 Inst.,
headed, "A Struggle Over Trust Funds,"
from which I beg to quote as follows:
'Not a dollar for all this vast campaign
expense has been raised In pursuance of
any general levy upon the policyholders or
appeal to them for contributions."
Permit me to correct a mistaken Im
pression In that respect and to enclose a
copy of the address of the International
Policyholders' committee containing an ap
peal for funds. In addition to this ad
dress the circular Is being mailed, with a
subscription blank, to all policyholders
whose addresses are obtainable. A num
ber of voluntary contributions have al
ready been made and we have no doubt
that ample funds will be contributed by
the policyholders. There is no other source
from which they can come. There Is no
powerful or other financial Interest back
of this movement on the part of the policy
holders. On the contrary, it Is an unselflBh
and disinterested campaign by men of na
tional reputation to protect the policyhold
ers and ss such It ought to receive the
hearty support of the press and the public.
None of the men concerned In the move
ment have any personal Interest to serve.
Without organisation the policyholders are
helpless. I am sure that the names of
the men constituting the committee will
serve as a guaranty of their entire good
faith and public spirit.

of extraordinary magnitude, but the situa

temporary structures have been erected
and ten more are In course of construc

the history of the public schools. An en

tnonties a mucn larger percentage or tne

pected. The number has steadily Increased
this week and It is expected that before
the term Is over the number or young
twlas" undergoing the bending process of
our public school system will nearly ap
proach the normal ngure.
The reduced attendance Is accounted for
by failure of many children to report Im

nearby towns, their parents only awaiting
the rebuilding of their homes to resume
their residence In Ban Frsncisco.

NEW BUILDING ON HARNEY
Structure to Be Erected at. Worth
west Coruer of nineteenth
Street.
A building costing somewhere between
$40,000 and $50,000 la promlaed by Bhimer 4
Chase and the Barker company for the
northwest corner of Nineteenth and Harney
streeta It will be either four or five
stories In height and will be Mx8S feet,
which is the sixe of the lot, for which th
deal has Just been closed by Bhimer &
Chase with the heirs of an English es
tate to whom the lot belonged.
The two firms have definitely decided to
build, and It Is their expectation to erect
the building this fall. Negotiations are
under way with proapectlve tenants, and
two sets of preliminary plans will be drawn
for the Inspection of the two concerns
which would use a large floor space. A
deal will be made with one of these. It
Is probable, though not sure, that only the
lower floor will be used for business, snd
that ths upper stories will be made Into
apartment houses.
A lot on Nineteenth street and In the
same block, was sold this spring by the
First Christian church for $40,000. Bhimer
& Chase are at present erecting a small
store building on the second lot north of
their new purchase.

PARLIAMENT SESSION ENDS
British kin'itry Pleased with Amount of
Solid Leeiilati n Accomplished.
EDUCATION BILL llfl WITH LORDS
Uoverasneat Promises to Pash
This Measure la Aataata aad a
Hlsterle Struggle Is
Expected.
LONDON, Aug. . If nothing sensatlor.al
was achieved or no great reputations were
won or lost the new liberal Parliament,
which has adjourned, distinguished Itself
as a working Parliament ana the ministers
have every reason to be satisfied with ths
solid amount of legislation done curing
their first session. This was largely a
result of the reformed rules of procedure
adopted early In the session, which proved
Invaluable from a time-saving viewpoint.
Besides passing the principal measure be
fore It, the education bill, almost all the
measures promised In the king's opening
speech either were passed or reached sn
advanced stage In committee, which will
allow of their being finished at the autumn
session when the government will promise
to spproprlate all the time of the house to
the bill. The Irish laborers' cottages bill,
the colonial marriages bill, T. P. O'Con
nor's musical copyright bill and a large
number of minor bills were passed, and
the trades disputes bill, the workmen's
compensation bill and the merchant ship
ping bill are all In an advanced condition.
The feature commanding Interest In the
autumn session will be the struggle Just
opened between the House of Lords and
the House of Qommons over the education
bill and It may prove a historic struggle,
for Lord Lanedowne, Lord Halsbury and
other peers are said to be determined to
throw out the bill on its third reading If
the House of Commons declines to accept
the amendmenta made tt It In the House
of Lords.
Perhaps the men who have obtained the
greatest prominence In the public eye in
the session Just ended are Winston 8pencer
Churchill, under secretary for the colonies,
snd Augustine Blrrell, president of the
Board of Education.
