The city treasurer, C. A. Mcl-lnr. an
nounced yesterday that he had perfected
arrangements with the banks owning the
city securities in the grading and paving
el, riots which are In drfuult. so th.it
it would not be necessary to make the

by the order of the city council. The
amount w was to draw was S S . T. i 1 . 7 'J,
ni'isily for the delinquencies In the Thlr
Ueth street paving. The taxpayers have
rf fused to piy the special assessment In
these dlstrb ts and the same Is true of
several grading districts. To meet these
deficiencies the order for the loan was
given last Monday night. The treasurer
Hated yesterday that there was enough
In the various funds to pay the Interest
due, and that the statute provided that
the unpaid bonds would stand as valid
claim of the parties holding them until
paid. The treasurer expressed the opin
ion that the emergency loan was a power
of the city to be used very sparingly
and that 11 was not necessary at this time.
It will not be nect -.sary for the council
to take any further action. The Interest

Missed Ill-Fated Boat. '
Word comes from Miss Maude McDowell
and Miss Jeannette Hoggen that they nar
rowly missed being on the Ill-fated steamer
Columbia which .sank off the Mendocino
coast last Saturduy. They were scheduled
to take the boat at Seattle, but were de
layed en route. They have been entertained
at the expense of the steamship company
near Seattle since that time, waiting the
sailing of the Elder, which sails today. The
young women consider themselves fortunate
that their stops In the Yellowstone and
at Hillings, Mont., made them late. Let-
Iters from the young women have relieved
some anxiety on the part of parents and
friends here.
Two Arrests for Embeiilement.
Geoige Mojtle and John Pasllevo. two
Roumanians, were arrested yesterday aft
ernoon by Sheriff T. B. Wilson of Rail
county, Missouri. The men are wanted
at Hannibal for alleged embezzlement.
The sheriff and his deputy came to South
Omaha In search of them, and he, with
the aid of the South Omuha police, located
the two men. The two had been acting
as treasurer of the Roumanian colony at
Hannibal, and It had been the custom for
ihese neonle to uav their earnings Into a
, . - . ... ,,
Some of their
friends aought to free them and made an
attenpt to get counsel with which to fight
extradition. While they were gone to con
sult an attorney the sheriff took his pris
oners In charge and left for Council Bluffs.
Soon after the departure of the sheriff the
wife of John Pasllevo arrived at the city
jail. She could speak no English and her
grief at finding her husband gone was
pitiful. She was finally taken home by
members of her own people.
Clerk Keeps the Books.
The mandamus case of W. H. Queenan
against J. J. Gillin, the city clerk, action
being taken to compel the city clerk to de
liver the tax commissioner's books into the
custody of the commissioner, was heard be
for Judge Kennedy and decided In favor of
the clerk. The clerk maintained that It was
his duty to receive and keep possession
of the books when the commissioner sub
mitted them as required by law before the
first Monday in July. Ha held that these
books then became part of the records of
his office for which he was responsible.
In this view the court upheld him.
Convicted of Appropriating Chickens.
The two men from Dolly & Moody's camp
who made Inroads on Mrs. Peter Lenagh's
chickens a few days ago, and who were
captured in a weed patch by Hank Els
felder after a chase by the entire neigh
borhood, were fined In police court for their
propensities for "spring fries." Prank
Smith, who pulled the heads oft the chick
ens, was sentenced to fifteen days in the
county jail. James Shanahan, his compan
ion, was sentenced to four days for va
grancy. He established the fact that he
was mainly on ' a bender," and not bent on
chicken stealing.
Suspend Y. M. C, A. Campaign.
The local Young Men's Christian associa

the ceasing of active operations Is that dur

ness men and others most Interested will
be out of the city. In the one month of
the csmpalgn ovur JS,(W0 was subscribed.
While this Is not as large as was hoped, the
directors say they have no cause to com
plain of the results. In the Interval be
tween now and September 1 the attention
of the promotora of the assoc'atlon will bo
turned to the membership. It Is hoped that
the membership may be brought up to BOO

HONOR A NEGRO'S MEMORY
White People Krrct Monument to
Joe l.e van, n onthern Ylllase
Harder.
Few men make such an Impress upon
their day and generntlon that at their
death there Is a spontaneous movement to
erect In their he nor an enduring memorial
as a mark of the esteem In which they
have ln.cn held by their fellow citlsns.
When sucn a monument Is erected It Is
considered. a noteworthy i vent In the his
tory of a community. For a negro to he
so honored Is an event of such rare oc
curence that It Is worthy of more than
passing mention, and this is offered as an
excuse for brief statement of the facts
concerning the rrec'Jjin of a monument to
Joseph l.evan by tho eopln of Sunder, 8.
C. says tv, Charleston News and Courier.
Joseph Iycvan was born a s'.avo In 1SS1,
and was the property of Mr. Anthonv
White, sr., of this county. He was trained
to be a houso servunt, nnd by the time he
was grown he was a first-class cook, bar
ber, and handy man generally. When the
war broke out and the first company was
organized In Sunder to go to Virginia, Joe
was hired from his master hy Lieutenant
J. Dlggs Wlldc. who carried him to Vir
ginia to serve him In the dual capacity of
body servant nnd cook. Tills company
took part In the batttle of Dull Run, and
Captain J. 8. Richardson was wounded.
Joe was then commissioned to wait on
htm while he was In the hospital. When
Captain Richardson was able to return
home, Jog rejoined the company at the
front, and continued In the service of Lleu
tenrnt Wilder for two years, serving him
and other members of the company with a
devotion and zeal that won for him their
lifelong friendship. After the war Joe
opened k barber shop In this town, which
he conducted continuously until his death,
In 19fi. He had a patronage that rival
shops could not win away from him, and
as long as "Joe, the Barber," was able
to work, his was the most popular place
of the kind In town, notwithstanding the
fact that numerous better equipped "ton
aorial" parlors were established from time
to time.
He never performed any single spectacu
lar service, but he was simply faithful,
courteous, honest and Industrious through
out his life. He asked no favors from any
man, and was content to earn an honest
living at his trade. In manner, he was po
lite and respectful, without a trace of se
verity; reserved tnd dignified In deport
ment, and his word was better than many
a white man's bond.
When he died there was a general regret
In this community, and his funeral was
attended by hundreds of his white friends.
The suggestion, made In a local paper,
that a popular subscription be Btarted for
the purpose of erecting a simple monu
ment to mark his grave, met with Imme
diate response, and In a short time a uf
flclent sum was In the hands of Mr. J.
Dlggs Wilder, adjutant of Camp Dirk An
derson. U. C. V., of which Joe was an
honorary member, to pay for the monu
ment. No collection was taken up and
no effort was made to raise a large sum
by soliciting subscriptions, every dollar
being sent or carried In person to Mr.
Wilder, who was named In the original
suggestion as the proper custodian of the
fund. At tho first meeting of Camp Dick
Anderson, subsequent to Joe's death, a
committee was appointed to superintend the
erection of the monument. The commit
tee discharged this duty prompCly, and
shortly before the anniversary of his death
the stone was erected on Joe Levan's grave
In the negro cemetery.
The monument, which la simple and un
pretentious. Is made of light blue marble,
resting on a square base, and Is In all about
nine feet In height. The Inscription reads
as follows:
Jeseph Levan,
The Village Barber,
Born 1R,
Pled December IS. 1ft.
He Was Faithful as a Slave, and Re
spected as a Freeman.
This Stone Was Kreeted bv His Whits
Friends as a Tribute to His Worth.

ORCHARD HILL IMPROVERS
Andrew Roaewater Talks on Pabllo
Improvements aad Mayor
on Taxes.
The Orchard Hill Improvement club
met with a large attendance at the home
of Mr. and Mr. John Richards, 3807
Seward street. The regular proceedings
were quickly disposed of, after whlrn
came a program of addresses and mu.itc.
The principal speakers were City En
gineer Andrew Rosewater and Mayor
Dahlman.
Mr. Roaewater spoke upon city Im
provement In general and the possibility
of serurlng a sanitary sewer for the
Orchard Hill district In the near future,
but did not think there was any prospect
of securing a storm sewer for that part
of ths city for some time to come. He
gave some valuable Information as to the
proper method to secure sidewalks along
nonresident property, which will be
promptly availed of by the residents of
that section. He gave much other val
uable Information on city affairs That was
attentively listened to and he responded
to a number of Inquiries regarding the
delay In certain Improvements, the causs
thereof and of atreet repairs In general.
Mayor Dahlman talked some on taxa
tion and said that next year he would
algn the tax levy ordinance to the limit
In order that every part of the city might
have Its necessary Improvements.
Following the speechmaklng a pleasant
musical program was given. Miss Stevens
gave a piano solo, as did Mrs. Welshans.
Miss Margaret Richards and Miss Flor
ence Mason. Mies Lenore Hutrhins sang
a couple of solis and Homer Conant sang
a couple of baritone numbers, all the
musicians acquitting themselves very
creditably.
The Orchard Hill club will hold Its an
nual picnic ut I.ake Manawa next Satur
day. All are requested to bring baskets
of provisions and luncheon will ,t served
at tho pavilion at 5:30 In the evening.
Tlie next meeting of the club will be
held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.

CARBAGE LAW MAKES TRADE!
' New Ordinance Forces All to Have
j Proper Sort of Cans.
i BEC0MES EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1
Health Commissioner Experts Dim
cnlty at Flats, bnt Will Give
Time to I. earn Require
nients of Law.
The new garbage ordinance, which goes
Into effeot August 1, has created consid
erable activity In the hardware stores, as
on and after that date every householder.
If he would comply . with the law, must
place on his premises a can of tin or other
material of like nature of at least ten gal
lons capacity, In which must be placed all
forms of refuse other than that from sta
bles, broken pottci. ashes or tin cans.
The contents of these cans are to be col- 1
lected free of charge by the Omaha Ren
dorlng nnd Refining company, which holds
a contract with the city for this pur
pose, effective for fifteen years from Au-
gust 1.
By the terms of the contract the house- :
holder must separate his real garbage from
the Indestructible sort and when ho has
done this he can Insist upon Its removal
by the company within twenty-four hours
after It has been notified of the existence
of the garbage, or the company will for
feit t5 to the city for each and every time '
It neglects or refuses to bo move the mat- '
ter. On tha other hand, If the garbage
Is mixed the company may refuse to handle
It and the householder will be forced to
devise some way of his own for disposing .
of the material and run the risk of colli
sion with the city ordinance, which grants i
a monopoly to the contractor.
Thera Is one phase of the ordinance I
which may meet with some objection on
the part of some householders. In many of
the flats of tho city garbage chutes are
provided Into which are Indiscriminately
dumped all sorts of refuse. These have
been removed hy the old garbage company
without trouble to the residents of the
flats, hut under the new ordinance each
flat must be equipped with a tin can and
the garbage chute can be used for indes
tructible garbage.
The commissioner of health expects that
the law will be slowly enforced as people
must become familiar with Its operation
before they will know their rights and re
sponsibilities and sufficient time will be
given them before the penalties of the ordi
nance are Imposed.
REV. FATHER ROGERS RESIGNS
President of St. I.onls I'nireralty Re.
tlrrs from Activity Because of
Falllnir Health.
ST. LOUIS, July 25. It was learned to
night that Very Rev. Father William
Hanks Rogers, S. J., has resigned the pres
idency of St. Louis university because of
falling health. His successor has not been
selected.
This press report came as no surprise to
the Catholic educators of Omaha, who
know Father Rogers well. "Father Rogers
Is a most prominent educator," said Father
Ryan of Crelghton university. "His health
has been falling for about a year and a
half and we were not surprised to hear
of his resignation. He has been president
of 8t. Louis university for the last six or
seven years and prior to that time was
president of Marquatta college of Milwau
kee. He is about 60 years old. Ws do not
know who will succeed him."

PROGRESS OF STREET WORK
Pavlngc Repairs on Dodge Street
Will Be Completed by Sat
arday Mghl.
By Saturday night it is expected the
pavement on Dodge street from Tenth
street to Sixteenth street will have been
repaired and next Monday the city re
pair gang will start on Douglas street
from Ninth street to Sixteenth street.
While It Is the intention of the property
owners to pave these streets and petitions
In that behalf are now In circulation, the
work cannot be done before next spring
and the city engineer has decided to put
the streets In share for the winter months.
Tills action has had a beneficial effect
on the petitions for repaying, as many
property owners, who had previously ob
jected to signing such petitions have now
fclgned, alleging the repairs which are to
be made for the winter will carry tha
pavument Into another taxing year and
thus save immediate expenaa.
