sideration as the location Mr. Schulta aald.

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.

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.

TANGLE IN DALLAS RETURNS
Certification of Ticket Held Up by the
Pronty-Hull Contest.
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.

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

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.
