of Burial Bills.
MAYOR CALLS CHIEF OF POLICE
Eieeatlve Final? Rntorri Order tad

Ordinance rassed.
VV.O. W. Have
Not Yet Made
Building Plans
Still a Little Uncertainty at to Ex
actly What Will Be Done by
- - the Order.
A serlou halt )n the deliberations of
the city council becorred last night and
words were used which caused the mayor
to call In the chief of police with Intent
to put nomi of the benigerent councilman
under arrest. The trouble arose over the
report of the finance committee to disal
low a claim to H. .1. Lnrkln and to Heafey
Heafey for the burial of certain parties
who died recently nt the county hospital.
The finance committee held that there was
no obligation of the council to pay those
bills. The democratic members. Hasburfh
and Hoffman, thought the bills should ba
paid anyhow. There being only five mem
bers of the council present, the vote to
disallow the claims failed of the necessary
majority vote of tha entire council. Has
burgh refused to vote either way on the
motion until ha was persuaded after much
loud talk that that was the only way to
register an objection. Tha mayor remarked
pointedly: "If you members of the coun
cil would cut out your boosing- and attend
to business you would know what Is going
on. You had a chaoce to meet with the
finance committee and you preferred to
stay away. I am surprised that you mem
bers of the council don't take more pride
In the public position you hold than to
make such an exhibition of yourselves."
When the regular report of the finance
committee was offered the members In
question voted against It and none of the
salaries or the claims were allowed. The
city clerk had worked hard to get tha mat
ter or the claims In order, as It was tha
last meeting of the fiscal year, and It was
hoped to get all the affairs straightened
out.
When the appropriation sheet was turned
down the mayor nd.Joirncd the council In
dlBgUHt.
Some matters cf routine had been at
tended to before the serious break In the
proceedings came. A petition to grade
Twentieth street from U to 8 street was
received. The general appropriation ordi
nance was passed. The ordinance regu
lating pool halls was passed. The Board
of Park Commissioners was Instructed to
pay the claim of II. M. Christie for the
park site on the west side of the city.
W II. Rowley was allowed a claim of
IXMB for laying sidewalks.
The general fund Was Increased by $4,600
which was In the hands of the city treas
urer to be applied to the general levy.
Iloxlng at Barton's Hall.
The boxing exhibition at Barton's hall
last night drew about 200 enthusiasts out
In the face of the threatened storm. The
bouts consisted of a preliminary between
Meancy and Cahll) of South Omaha, two
boys who sparred for three rounds. The
second bout was between Bresnahan, a
local man, and Ulllin of Omaha. Bresna
han had the better of the" fight after the
second round, In which he forced Qlllln to
take the count of seven. Bresnahan was
unable to put his man out, though he
worked hard until the ninth, when Qlllln
quit voluntarily, being completely ex
hausted. The main event was a twelve-round bout
between Malone of Denver and McDermott
of Philadelphia. McDermott appeared the
more graceful boxer and his swings were
far more spectacular and had more steam
behind them than the Italian's. The Italian
was thin cheBted and his shoulders pro
truded awkwardly to the front, making his
back round almost to deformity. lie kept
fighting all the time, though. McDermott
jollied him until the eighth round, when by
a punch the awkward looking Italian set
tled the whole business. The men stayed
In until the latter part of the ninth round,
when McDermott gave up the fight On tha
ninth count without rising from his knees.

SHOWER BATH8 ATTACHED TO FIRE PLUG.
Kansas City's street shower bath Is mak- even the most ventursome held back on the
ing a hit with that must auspicious of all
mortals the street urchin. This device Is
the Invention of K. T. Biigham, superin
tendent of the Helping Hand Institute
of that city, but as no patents have been
taken out, it la available to anyone any
where. In rlgg-lns up this bath three lengths of
galvanised water pipe and a shower bath
attachment are needed. One section of the
pipe Is attached horliontally to a city fire
plug. From this, as shown In the picture.

The boys of the loser down town looked
askance at the apparatus tha first evening
It was In operation. The four cataracts
of water as they poured down on the hot
pavement mggesttd delicious coolness, but
matter of costume. The question was set
tled by the youngsters In their own way
by running home and putting on a shirt
and pair of knee trouners even foore dll
apadated than the ones they were wearing.
This decided, there was not more doubt as
to the patronage of the bath. The shower
attachment, being about seven feet above
the pavemnt is high nough to permit a
horse to stand underneath.
The Helping Hand Institute, among Its
useful functions, provides free Indoor baths
for men and boys, but many youngsters
tilled off from a place where the means to
apparently excessive cleanliness was con
cealed. Thereupon Mr. Prigham went upon
the theory that If the boy would not come
to the bath, the next best thing would be
to bring the bath to the boy.
If this is of such service In Kansas City,
why couldn't It be adopted 1 Omaha? The
device Is not patented, but may be used
by any community.

LEONARD WAS A STRANGER
AND A STRANGER TOOK HIM IN
Yo,una Man from Michigan and His
Money Separated In Sooth
Omaha,
Leonard Brown of Mlddlevllle, Mich., Is
sorry he left the dear old Wolverine slate,
and Is longing for a sight of the village
streets where he was raised.
He came Into Omaha with a companion
Friday afternoon and was met at the
Union station by a stranger, who later In
the day relieved Leonard of $40, and
would have taken some from his friend had
that fellow beea In possession of any.
How the stranger got Leonard's money
was easy enough. When he met the two
Michigan arrivals at the depot he told
them he was a ranchman from the wild
state of Nevada, and that he would show
them around the cities. He thought It
would be best to make a visit to South
Omaha about the first thing that was
done. So off to see the packing houses
went the trio, the mysterious stranger ex
plaining all the sights along the route.
Soon after arriving In South Omaha, the
stranger thought It would be a nice treat
to visit one or two saloons before doing
anything else. At the first saloon the
stranger paid for the drinks. At the second
one Leonard hauled out his pocketbook
and paid up. v
A little later the stranger dismissed him
self and never returned. With the failure
of the guide to show up, Leonard decided
to return to Omaha, and it was then he
missed his money. How the fellow took
his pocketbook Leonard does not know.
All he wishes now Is that he had never
met the "ranchman from Nevada."
