LEATHER GOODS SCORCHED
Fir Does Considerable Damage -so
Factory of J. H. Haney . V,
Company. , - -V,
Tha stock of J. H. Haney & Co.,
manufacturers of harness, saddlery and
wholesalers pf equine decorations. S1S
17 South Thirteenth street, waa slightly
damaged by fire which broke out in the
cutting room on the rear of the third floor
of the building about 7:45 Sunday night.
The building la a three story brick and Is
owned by tha Haney' company and for a
short time It waa feared the entire block
would be destroyed owing to the heavy
clouds of smoke, pungent with the smell
of burning leather, which, was pouring
from all tho upper windows by the time of
the arrival of tha fire department. The
top floor of the building is used as a cut
ting, sewing and stitching room, and the
fir started In tha former department In
the rear of the building near the elevator
shaft, presumably from spontaneous com
bustion, In a large pile of leather rolls
and trimmings. The stock on the second
floor was but slightly damaged by water,
while the valuable atock carried on the
first floor escaped entirely.
This Is the busy season for the Haney
company, and when asked If the fire would
put him behind J. H. Haney said:
"At th present time we are considerably
rushed for orders, but as w always carry
a (airly large atock on 'hand wa can take
care of all the trade until the damaga Is
repaired. The machinery was not dam
aged to any extent and will be in full
working order In a short time. It Is tm
poslble to estimate the exact loss at pres
ent, but I think It will be slight, fully
covered by Insurance."
In going through one of the windows of
the third floor Captain John Coyle of Hose
Company No. 2 cut two of the flngera on
th right hand, severing the tendons. He
waa removed to the polloa station where
the Injured member' waa attended to by
Dr. Porter and Police Surgeon Fltxglb
bons. Coyle will be Incapacitated from
duty for several days.
A few moments before the Haney fire the
department was called to 2662 Cuming
street, where a lighted match thrown in
some towllng caused, a small conflagra
tion which wft extinguished with small
loss.
OFFICER'S VIGIL REWARDED
Watches Coat Left by Barglar for
Se-reral Hoars and Seeare
Owner.
After a patient wait under the cover of
a coal shed for two hours Sunday even
ing Emergency Officer Morgan arrested
Tom Murray for burglary, when the lat
ter came after his coat which he had left
on a pile of boxes In the rear of Johnson's
saloon, 1100 Farnam atreet while he en
tered the saloon. Murray broke open the
back window of the saloon shortly after
t o'clock Sunday night, but was seen by
passeraby Just as he gained entrance. The
passersby saw him through the front
window of the saloon and started around
toward th rear of th building, but
Murray made a hasty exit and eluded
his pursuers, leaving bis coat behind.
. The police station was notified and Of
ficer Morgan placed himself in a coal
shed opposite th pile of boxes on which
wa thrown the burglar's coat. Morgan
was prepared for an all night vigil If nec
essary, but when the smok from th
Haney fire, a block distant filled his nos
trils, the officer became Impatient and
finally deckled to .take the coat to the
police station. He had Just reached th
coat when he heard footsteps In the al
ley. Dodging behind a large box Morgan
peeped out In time to see Murray take th
coat off th box.
"What ar you doing here?" said the
officer, stepping out In front of th as
tonished Murray.
"Just came after my coat which I took
off In going to the fire," replied th lat
ter. - ' '
Knowing that ha had been watoliing that
coat at least an hour and a half before
th fir started, Morgan asked. "Is that
your coat?"
"Yes, sir," vouchsafed Murray.
"Then your my man." asserted the of
ficer, and the disconsolate Murray, was
hurried away fb Jail.

DR.. WHEELER NAILS A CANARD

tloa Into the Local Elee
tlon Flaht.
The Oood Government league of South
Omaha has undertaken to enjoin th pay
ment of th W. F. Evans Judgment. Mon
day morning the executive committee of
the league Instructed Ita attorney to pro
ceed and enjoin all city officials Interested
to prevent th settlement of the Judgment.
The district court found the city liable on
the evidence presented, but It Is th belief
or all acquainted with the facts that those
having the case in charge failed to present
all the evidence which they had, or which
they might have had. At the meeting of
th city council Friday evening, April 3,
the 12,500 Judgment waa compromised for
$2,000, without appeal. The Judgment waa
for personal Injuries supposed to have been
sustained by Evans, but which fact Is
doubted by th league.
Dr. R, L. Wheeler, who stood at the head
of antl-annexatlon forces In South Omaha
and whose In ;uenee did more than Mayor
Hoctor or any other man to sustain that
cause. Is utterly disgusted at th attempt
to fasten on th republicans, who represent
clean and respectable local government,
the charge of favoring union with Omaha
at this time. No on question the position
of Dr. Wheeler.
"The merits of the annexation question
have no place In this campaign," says Dr.
Wheeler. "1 am out against Hoctor and
am working for the republican ticket. We
are working on this Injunction because w
believe It extravagant wast of money, to
pay this Judgment until no doubt longer
exists of the merits of tho case.'
"It Is getting pretty raw." skid a com
mission man, "when democratic publica
tions can continually charge South Omaha
commission men with having no Interest
In the affairs of the city."

dates were present with the exception of
those for the school board, who havo an
nounced that they believe the school board
contest should be of a quieter kind than the
vlgoroua fight for tha city offices. Ques

What has been maliciously charged against
th republicans aa pandering to th corpora
tions Is effectively dlsproven by state,
menta'of Frank Koutsky. When Inter
viewed on th viaduct ordinances and the
question of vacating certain streets lart
night, he said:
"Th question of vacating the South
Omaha streets, which has been so vigor
ouslysltacked by the Omaha World-Herald,
arose at the beginning of my first torm of
office, in this manner: A committee of th
South Omaha Live Stock exchange visited
Horace O. Burt In Omaha and asked for
viaduct Improvement and was told by Mr.
Burt that- there was $l,0uu,000 to be applied
In Improvements In South Omaha, but that
tho former administrations had deliberately
tried to hold up the railroad company for
16,000. He said he was willing to help South
Omaha In any legitimate way,' but he had
not a cent for any Individual. The com
mittee called several conferences of the
whole courted. In which there were four
democratic members, and th result was
th viaduct ordinances, which Included the
O street viaduct, the West L street viaduct
and th assumption of th Q street viaduct.
W got th promise of th U street and the
F street viaduct, the freight and passenger
depot and the assistance of the company In
paving South Twenty-fourth street and
lower Railroad avenue as it la today.
"W. H. Queenan was th democratic
president of th city council and put forth
his best efforts to pass the Ordinance. If
It waa a bad thing but we didn't believe
it waa let our democratic friend bear
their share of It.
"The commission men and tha public as
well aa th South Omaha citizens de
manded a viaduct to accommodate the
Union Stock Yards and th packing dis
trict. If the viaduct had not been se
cured the republicans would have ben
severely criticised, and Justly. Th older
residents will remember th frequent and
fatal accident which often oocurred to
people who wer crossing the railroad
tracks tn thos days. Th erection of th
viaduct has stopped all such loss of life.
"It Is charged that w gave up to th use
of the railroads certain city streets. This
Is the truth. But when they say w got
nothing tn return I deny It and, say it is
false and misleading. In th first place
what streets did w give upT A part of
Railroad avenue lying north wett of the
Intersection of that street with Twenty
fourth street. How much harm did this do
to travel after Twenty-fourth street waa
paved? All of the travel wa turned up
north - on Twenty-fourth street long be
fore the atreet waa paved.. Occasionally a
few cattle were driven Into the yarda thla
way because the atreet waa quiet. Com
mercial atreet occupies a high bank and
each end of it la pinched oft by a curve
of th Union Faclflo right of way. No
residences wer located on it. What
about th short stub ends of C, D, E. Q and
li streets T They all ended In a high,
perpendicular bank on th railroad right
of way and never wer used. It will be
noticed that w did not give up V street
which was th only passabl street of them
all. It la admitted that with th Im
provements which th railroads hav made
sine th vacation of these streets they
are valuable as railroad property; but no
Indvldual could ever have made a dollar
out of It bad it remained In possession of
the clty.r Now what did we get In return?
We aot far better trackage for South
'
Omaha, which helps everybody. W got
the O street viaduct, which cost th city
nothing. We got the jWest I, slreet via
duct, which cost the city nothing. And
compelled th railroads and the stock
yards to assume the Q atreftt viaduct, kep
It In repair and rebuild it In the end. We
also secure J the prqnlse of a viaduct at F
street, snd another at U street whenever
wo demsnd It. By this effective compro
mise we have not only got back the value
of .all the streets, but saved the city the
Issuance of over $CiOn,(Hio In viaduct bonds.
We are proud of our record in vacating
these streets. We made a good bargain.
Any prtval pa'rty owning property In the
area named was able to sell his property
at any time to the railroad for more than
he could secure on the market. Why I
should be criticised for the same thing
which the present administration has con
tinued as far as asked by the corporations
Is beyond my comprehension of logic. He
sides the viaduct we got the promise of
the new passenger depot and the new
freight depot of the Union Pacific. Let me
aay right here. If the republicans had been
successful two years ago the U street
viaduct v would now have been built, for
w -had a firm promise with the company
for It."

llraa Ticket la the City
Flection raaanalga. x
Florence republicans hope to carry th
full ticket when the election of town offi
cers is held Tuesday on a platform which
advocates the expenditure of considerable
money for needed Improvements In the
suburb, which will make It even a more
popular residence district than at present.
Or position to the progress and Improve
ment program Is the platform on which the
democratlo candidates will hope for suc
cess. There Is some difference of opinion
as to whether the town" should make the
proposed Improvements, but the repub
lican sre all lined up and expect to get a
full vote for tholr candidates and a pr.v
gresslve policy. As strange as it may
seem, there are "stand-pat" democrats In
Florence and it Is claimed the town will
"go forward backward" If the democratic
ticket Is elected.
The republicans have put up one of the
strongest tickets ever put up by the vil
lage. For mayor ther have C. J. Kelrle,
who ha been a resident of Florence for
over twenty year. Mr. Kelrl haa been
successful In his own business. Coming to
Florence without any means, he has bo
come opulent anif Is the owner of consid
erable property. Mr. Kelrle has also held
several of flees , In th village and dis
charged all hf duties In a satisfactory
manner. J. H. Price, a hardware dealer,
la the republican candidate for treasurer
and the members of the party believe his
host of friends will see tliat lie gets a good
majority. M. B. Thompson, the present
city clerk, Is a candidate for re-election,
aa ar also Jacob Weber, Jr., for council
man from the First ward and W. R. Wall
for the same place from the Second ward.
Harold Reynolds Is the candidate for sur
veyor and Is one who Is working for the
success of the republican ticket, believing
that the success of that ticket will mean
much for the cltlsens of Florence.

NEW TACK AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
Form of Self-Government to, Be
Introduced After Spring;
Vacation.
When the high school students return to
work after the present week of vacation, a
form of self-government beginning with a
.High School Improvement league," will
be Introduced by th faculty. Principal
Waterhouse ha been studying conditions
for some time with this end in view, and
recently announced to a conference of rep
resentative student that he thought such
a step might now be taken with the expec.
tatlon of success.
Th Improvement league that will soon
be organised among the students proposes
to follow the example of the city council,
the Commercial club and Omaha' various
Improvement clubs, and will have for Its
purposo the beautifying of the hlgn school
building and grounds. Last week tho prop
osition was brought before the student
body In a circular from th principal,, and
th pupils wcra given an opportunity to
apply for membership in the league. Nearly
1,000 did so, and agreed to take an
active part In keeping the building and
campus free from disfiguring wast and
debris.
In the organization of the new league a
nominating convention, "primaries, formal
election and a class room representative
system will be features. In this way the
club will not only become a potent Influ
ence for the school' general appearance,
but a valuable drill in the exercise of civic
rights and duties will be given the students
who Join it. If expectations are realised
and the student body put this project
through, further powers In th government
and discipline of the school will be gjven
the pupils, with complete self-government
the ultimate aim and result. .
