III III The city engineer completed the tabula tion of bids for the eewer contracts yester day and struck off blue prints for the same ready for the council meeting, which Is to be held tonight . According to the tabulation the National Construction com pany, represented by George Parks, wilt be awarded the greater portion of the con tracts. His bid on the Mud creek sewer amounted to 1166. 179. and on the Jetter creek aewer t46,t06.94, therefore his con tracts will amount to mZ.flRS.S.1 If this amount la paid It will leave 137,911.17 In the fund. According to the original appropria tion Incorporated In the election proclama tion, the amount available for the Mud creek sewer waa not to exceed 1141,000, and the present contracts would represents an Increase of over 121,000 -for the work. With the proposed modifications of the plans of construction it Is the Intention to use op the funds available as far aa they will go atid depend on the future for a so lution of the problem, , which, naturally hinges on an act of the legislature providing the authority to the city to Issue more bonds' and a subsequent Issue to cover the deficit According to the present ' senti ment so far as expressed, there Is con siderable doubt as to the popularity of another Issue, The serious question also arises, "Is It possible legally to make a contract involv ing the sum of 1300,000 while there Is but 1241,000 available?" It Is with this question that the city engineer and the parties In terested In the-enterprise have been strug gling for the last few weeks. There can be little doubt that the first move toward the construction of the sewers will be met with ' a determined opposition and injunc tions. The legal questions will have to be threshed out, no doubt, before the actual work 'can be done. It is positively asserted by some that an. Injunction club, or some such company of men, is already preparing to act directly on the first move of the council. The number of men In the com pany Is variously stated from twelve to seventy. It may be that this opposition will be mollified before there Is any - active measure inaugurated. 1 Charged with Bteallaa; Flae Dog. August Hellman waa arrested on sus picion yeeterday afternoon.

Mr. Btoner Is a street Car conductor on the Benson line and his home is at 1207 North Twenty-seventh street. His floe collies are his particular pride and are known to a greater part of the dog lovers of the city. Yesterday he missed one of his best ani mals. He sot out in hot pursuit of the dog thief. On the way he enlisted the services of his motorman. W. C. Blake. They soon got a good clue because all the carmen knew the dogs and It waa found that some of them had seen the animal on the way to South Omaha. The arrest of Hellman followed. He claims to have a ranch near Red Oak. la.,. where he breeds blooded dogs', hogs and cattle. By i he use of' his advertisement he haa been in the habit of prevailing on parties In the tast to ship him their blooded stock. On receiving the consignment , bfrfeells .the same, but It Is stated, that "Afterward he falls to settle with the oroglnal owners. It Is alleged that he hsa no ranch at Red Oak.

Colorado la trying to make the' Pike's Peak centennial the biggest memorial event ever held In the state. If not In the west It la now only a few montha short of UO years since the gallant young explorer, Sebuldn Pike, first laid eyes on the tower ing mountain that haa added so much to the fame of Colorado. . . Not ungrateful for ,the discovery of tier magnificent snow-crowned mountain, Colo rado Is going to pay fitting tribute to the daring explorer, and will .devote the week of September 21 to 20 to a remarkable clvio and military celebration. ' It will mark also a century of progress, for some featurea of the display will show what baa been accom plished in the golden west since Pike first forced his way through an unknown coun try. ; i , Pike never reached the summit of the peak. He saw Jt only from a- neighboring height and did not heetitate to make the prediction that "BO human being will ever reach Its summit. , t. If ' Pike could .return en anniversary day he would find a marvel being accomplished. Not only will nundreds of persons make the ascent on foot and by train, but also in automobiles, a form at locomotion that had not even been dreamed of in his day. The automobile, form of the celebration will be an endurance run of twelve hours to a height of three miles. The plan of a celebration was conceived ten years agowhen the monument associa tion waa formed. The ninetieth anniversary was ' signalised by a banquet at which plans' were laid for the big' event ofthls year. ' ;' r President Roosevelt, deeply Interested In all that pertains, to the pioneer of the west,' Is expected to- be present but, even should , he fall, the United' States govern ment will not lack representation. Secretary Taft bearing In mind that Pike waa In the United Btatea arnty when he discovered the peak, haa promised to send 10,000 soldiers. These Will hold maneuvers. Including a sham battle, and It will be the first occasion when all three brunches of the army Infantry, artillery and cavalry have been maneuvered together. Nor haa It ever happened before that maneuvers have been held In the mountains. The program is arranged as aa allegorical history of the past 100 years in Colorado. The name "Pike Peak" waa never offi cially sanctioned by the government, but was Informally, adopted after the early set tlers had refused to designate the moun tain as James Peak, the title first con ferred by the War department. The early maps never alluded to the sentinel of the Rockies as Pike's Peak, and It was not un til years after that the government finally followed the lead of the trappers and ac cepted Pike's Peak. . , , . . . Pike waa a lieutenant (of 26" years when he was chosen to head two exploring expe ditions, the. first .'to discover the head waters of - the Mississippi, and the second to report on the territory of Louisiana, which the United States government at the time contemplated buying from Bpaln.

"What I really set out to tell you about waa a f unnV, queer sort of a thing that did happen once when the giant really got sick when we were In winter quarters. "He waa good and sick this time, and, of course, the minute we realised thla fact we hustled for a doctor on the lump. And we had to get a doctor from town. Our own doctor, who traveled with the show and lived with' it,' - happened Just then to be away. attending to some personal matters. We got, of course, the star man there. and he came and - looked the giant over, going at It like a man who knew just what he was about, and then he Wrote ta prescription for him, which we got filled by our swiftest rider, snd so we began doctoring the giant, with that physician coming three times a day to look him over. "He seemed a wise man, sure enough, who knew just what he was doing, but the giant didn't Improve; ' tn fact, he got sicker, and then the old man telegraphed to the show's doctor to come and look alter the giant. " Why,' aald our own doctor, as soon aa he arrived, 1 can't go in and push the doctor that you've called right off ' the map. ToU might want him to call again any time, and It wouldn't do, anyway. Tou must observe the proprletiee. Tou muet get him to call me In consultation.' ; "The old man didn't fancy that much. but he did It, and the town doctor callnoN our doctor In. I don't think the town doc tor fancied this very much himself, but he did, and in about a minute our doe- tor gave him a jolt that must have made him change his opinion of circus doctors. "He listened with all due dignity and de corum, and even with a touch of defer ence, our doctor did,' to what the man from town bad prescribed, and then our doctor asked to see the prescription, and when he had scanend thla: " 'Doctor,' he said, gravely and politely, and he could be very grave and polite, 'doctor,' ho said, yonr dlagonsla of the ease, If ytm will permit me to say so, does credit to our profession, and the remedies you have prescribed are precisely those that I should have prescribed myself, but I think that you have perhaps overlooked one feature of the ease, and that is the patient's dimensions. - The quantities called for In your prescription are such as would be administered to a man -ot nor mal size, but this man Is approximately three times that sixe. I think lf you would multiply .the quantities In your pre scription by three you would find the pa tient readily responding to , your t treat ment.' , , "I could see the great gtant'a knees wrig gling under his blanket he enjoyed It all betU than the town doctor did, but the doctor prescribed on the spot In accord ance with the consulting physician's sug gestionthe two doctors became friends, as a matter of fact, after that and in three days the giant waa around again, as well as ever."
