F. Hunt snd J. L. Qulnn. the two wholesale milk dealers charged with selling milk that, ac cording to the complaint filed by Dairy In spector Lennox, was not up to the required standard. Judge Snyder yesterday assessed Hunt 25 nnd costs and dismissed the charge ns against Qulnn. Hunt declared that the milk complained of by Inspector Lennox had been purchased by him from Qulnn, as his own supply had run short. Qulnn In sisted at the hearing that If any connection between the rump and the milk had been made It had occurred after he had delivered It to Hunt. Hunt, on the other hand, stren. uorsly denied using the product of the pump In his dalrv business for anv other purpose than for rinsing out the milk cans. Coot af the Celebration. The Board of Park commissioners figure tha the exrense of the Fourth of July re'.ebrat'on In Falrmount park will amount to shout $"25. The largest Item is that for fireworks and until the bill for the pyrotechnics la received, the exact coat of ti e lelehrat'on cannot be figured. The music cost $25 and $33 was expended for advertising snd printing, while Presi dent Peterson of the board spent $14.50 for flrgs and other decorations. All of the prites for the racea and other aporta were donated by business houses of the city. The 1111 for the fireworks, it Is expected, will be S250. The commissioners had ft, a balance left over from the fund raised for the 190T celebration, and they appropriated $100 for thla year's doings. They expect to have to rrake an additional appropriation, but are not quite certain that the state ex aminers of municipal accounta will, when they make their next examination in Coun cil Bluffs, o. k. expenditures of the park funds for such purposes.

COMPROMISE NOW BEING SOUGHT War Being; Soasht to Certify l'p Re mainder of Returns, Leaving; the Courts to Settle Who Is Con gressional Nominee. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 8 Special.) Secre tary of State W. C. Hayward has consulted w-lth Senator Thomas Cheshire, attorney for the Board of Supervisors, to see If the board will not consent to certify the re turns from Dallas county on all offices ex cept that of congressman. The Injunction-) of Judge Gamble restrains the Dallas board from recounting the ballots, but does not restrain the board from certifying the re turns as they are If It so chooses. . The board as a matter of fac had decided not to certify the returns till after the court proceedings started by Congressman Hull had been completed. Senator Cheshire has taken the matter under advisement and may consult the board if he is satisfied the matter can be done. There Is some question In 'regard to it certifying only part of the returns and there Is some question whether cer tifying part of the returns would not prejudice the contest between Hull and Prouty. While It has been known that there was no restraint on the Dallas Board of Super visors from certifying the returns, If It so elected, and though It Is known that the board has decided not to certify the re turns till after the court proceedings, there has been talk on the part of Dallas county people of bringing Injunction proceedings to prevent' the beard from certifying such proceedings till after the hearing by the courts on the certiorari proceedings next September. It Is understood that the executive coun cil has not definitely determined what ac tion to take, but that it is In the minds of the meTbers that If the returns from Dallas are not In by October 19, the last day for the secretary of state to certify the nominations to the county auditors, the council will advise that the nominations be certified to the county auditors anyway, es it Is known that the Dallas county vote cannot change the results on state officers. Court's Findings to Omaha. The military court which tried Major George and which was reconvened by orders of the Wardepartment finished Its work in one day and mailed the report to Omaha to the department commander. When a military court is reconvened It Is either for the purpose of having it correct an error or else to ask it to reconsider its findings. At the conclusion of the first trial things looked favorable for Major George. When the court was reconvened It was thought to look somewhat bad for him. The fact that the court finished its work on recon vening In such a short time makes army men believe that It waa either for correct ing an error or elae the court refused to reconsider its findings. The court will re main at Fort Des Molnei till the results ol the trial are announced, which will be in a few days. Traffic Agreement " with Mllntike. A traffic arrangement Is about to be made by the Dca Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern with the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. Fred C. MacMtllan, general manager of the Des Moines, Iowa Falls and Northern, has gone to Chicago to coneult with the offi cials of tho other road for that purpose. The Des Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern Is now completed to Mason City., and It Is expected to have cars running soon from Des Moines to Mason City. The line is 260 miles long and Is forty miles shorter between this city and St. Paul by using the Milwaukee part of the, way than any other route. It Is the expectation to have through trains running from St. Paul to Kansas City and St. Paul to St. Louis through Des Moines shortly on the traffic arrangeemnt with the Milwaukee. The Dec Moines, Iowa Falls St Northern will move Its head offices to Des Moines August 1. Sanitarium Too Small. During the three months that the State Tuberculosis Sanitarium at Iowa City has been open there have been 176 applications for admission and sixty persons admitted. Of the sixty admitted, fourteen were found to be unsuitable patients In an institution for incipient cases only, and were dis charged. There have been forty-six under treatment, therefore, since the sanitarium opened, and of these one has been dis charged cured and eight improved to such an extent that they were allowed to return to their homes. The large number that have been turned away because of the lack of capacity of the institution and because they were in the advanced stages is leading the State Board of Control to recommend the erection of an institution for persons In the advanced stages, and also for Increas ing the capacity of the present institution, or else erecting others in other parts of the state. finds Roads Responsible. The coroner's Jury that Inquired Into the death of XV. H. Urbans, who was killed In the wreck on the Rock Island and Great Western, returned a verdict today finding both roads responsible for the wreck. Primary Claims Held l'p. IOWA FALLS. Ia., July 9. (Special.) None of the member, ui the election boards of the county having been paid for their services at the prlmiry election last mont't ha led to Inquiry at the county r.udltor's olflce, where It It ascertained that the delay tn settlement o: tl.rse bills Is no. due to the Inactivity of the Board of Super visors, which has passed on the claims, bir to the executive council at Des Molnei. It is learned that none of the counties have been able to reimburse the election boards for the services for the reason that th executive council is making a very careful scrutiny of the clitms filed by the countl s as the state's shvre'tn the expi nse of this nominating election. It Is stated that Ir hopes of rutting down bills for prlntlrg ballots and other expenses incident to the s'ect'on, as de from the fees cf the election boards, the council Is going over the claims very carefully with a view to reducing ths cost to the stats and also to the various counties for this first primary election. Un til the council can take final action in the matter, the indications are that the pay ment of the election board claims will be held up by the counties. Charlrsr City Newspaper Chances.

CRESTON A notice has been posted In the local railroad shops Informing the em ployes that they will work nine hours per day Instead of eight, as has been the schedule for some time past. v CRESTON-Caught by fast train No. 1 at Malvern the night of July 4. his back brok-n and other Ii Juries Inflicted, causing his death a few hours later, was the fate that befel George H. Qulnn, a Burlington brakeman of this city. CRESTON E. A. Richards aged 68 years, died July 4 from the effectn of a second strol.e of paralysis, having suffered the first stroke about a year and a half ago. He whs a veteran of the civil war and a long time resident of this place. JTENISON The D.-nlson hospital repor.s a wonderful iase of the removal of stones from the gall bladder of a woman patient. Tho surgeons founu that they had taken 2.SH stones after the operation The largest was the sixo of a cherry and the re mainder like a mass of grape seeds. The pati.nt was a woman of middle age. She Is making a satisfactory recovery. CRESTON The lifeless body of Evan Mc Laughlin of Albla was found between the rails of the Burlington track Just west of that place Monday. The supposition Is that he waa struck by No. 5 and killed. The bodv was terribly mangled. He had been In the hnhlt of walking the track to his work of helping sink a new coal shaft near Albla. He was about 50 years of age. CRESTON It Is roughly estimated that 5K head of hogs, fifty head of cattle and twenty head of horses were either killed outright or had to be destroyed as a result of the wrecking of a stock train at Thayer Monday night.

AFFAIRS ATS0UTH OMAHA Little Girl Injvrrd by Fall front Viaduct Which la Being; Dismantled. A little girl of 10 or 12 years fell through a hole in the Q street viaduct yesterday evening, receiving severe Injuries. The viaduct has been closed to travel and tho street car company is tearing up the tracks and the floor preparatory to the complete removal of the structure. The child was playing on the viaduct and fell through the hole ten feet or more to the solid earth beneath. She was rendered uncon scious and It seemed that her back or neck was severely strained. The workmen carried her to the drug store near the west end of the viaduct, where she was attended by a doctor and later taken to her mother's home. The mother's name Is Mrs. J. Huslck and she lives at Twenty-first and P streets. The city has given notice of the formal closing of the viaduct to avoid liabilities for accidents. Bin- Prices for Good Cattle. The general run of the stock market was slightly lower yesterday than It was Tues day, although the top of $8.10 was again reached by some choice beeves. They were sent to this market by E. T. Graham of Creston, Neb. He had two loads of elEht.en, each averaging 1,611 p.unds apieio. Mr. Graham Is one of the big feeders of the state and always has a good line of stock. Ho fed the, cattle over six months to get them in good shape. Hiram Hol 'steln of Dodge, Neb., also had some fine cattle, averaging 1,513 pounds each, which netted him $7.96. Mr. Graham had a load of hogs which ha had raised with his cattle, and theso brought the top market of $6.25. The high price of cattle Is up to the record for the present year, but the commission men are looking for a breaking of all known record before the close Of rxt week. The high point of the South Omaha market was maii.i In the summer of,, 102, when for several days as high as $8.15 was paid for good stock. Several of the commission men have disputed the recently made statement from supposedly good sources, that the record price was made on a load of premium cat tle from the stock show of that year, but that those high prices were prevalent. Boy Arrestee on Old Charge. ' The police have arrested A. Bassett, and he la being held on suspicion. It Is re ported that ho, while working at H. C. Keller's bakery at 2114 N street, over a year ago, committed burglary by entering the place through a basement window and crawling up though. He took. It Is alleged, a lot of copper cents and a revolver, and disappeared. Lately he returned to South Omaha, where he was spotted by Chief Briggs and placed under arrest. The boy Is said to be well connected In the city. Joe Cummings was arrested by Officer Hank Elsfelder In Sioux City for appro prlatlng $350 of his' mother's money and maklrjg his unheralded exit from the city. He was traced to Sioux City, where Els felder was sent. Knowing the boy well. he had no difficulty in finding him. He had $300 In his possession, but had spent the $50. He Is now In the city jail awaiting trial. It Is not known what attitude the parents will take In the case. He Is the son of Charles Cummings, a well-known citizen of the city. Cummings has always been prominent In political circles. The Board of Fire and Police Commls sloners of South Omaha held the regular monthly session last evening at the coun cil chamber. The chief Item was the pass ing of a motion forbidding exhibition box ing contests in the future. For several weeks the Eagle Athletic association has been arranging matches at the Ancient Order of United "Workmen temple. At the last contest the spectators pei-MUted In so much unprofessional conduct and were so unsportsman like that the chief of police was compelled to warn the young men that they would have to mend their ways or he would forbid the entertainments. It seems the fire and police commissioners took the hint and after making Inquiry came to the conclusion that the safer plan would be to prohibit such contests altogether. The action will cause considerable disappoint ment to the lovers of the art of boxing. Fire Chief Garratt whs granted leavo of absence for twenty-five days to attend the national convention of fira chiefs to bo held in August at Columbus, O. Police Chief Briggs In his regular report to the board mentioned the antiquated switch board now In use In the city Jail and recommended that an improved system for the reports of patrolmen be Installed In the new city jail, The present system is almost continually out of order.

RACE FOR JJIVORCE COUPI Mrs, Redman Wins and Her Petition Goes on Docket Ahead of Husband's. While there is a good deal of satisfaction in having the last word In a domestic dis pute, there la real advantage in having the first word when that domestic debate gets Into the divorce court. Thus thought Ben jamin A. Redman, a fireman, and his wife, Laura M. Redman, when they started their respective lawyers for the court houso Wednesday, each with a divorce petition in his pocket. Of course the woman won and consequently Mrs. Redman's petition is No. 75 on the docket and Mr. Redman's plea for a divorce is No. 76, and Mrs. Redman will get to tell her sldo of their marital troubles to the court first. Mrs. Redman says Benjamin has been a cruel husband and she cites several In stances In which she says he knocked her down and otherwise mistreated her, besides calling her names and making false accusa tions against her. Once, she says, he broke the door of their home down. She wants the custody of their child. In the recital of his side of the story, Mr. Redman says Laura has not been a good wife to him, but has evinced an un governable temper, has used bad language toward him, has slapped him and then went away and said she would never live with him any more. Ho says she also received a letter signed by one "Henry," and when he reproached her she became very angry and struck htm. Mary II. Garrett wants a divorce from James O.
