SEVEN BAD BOYS, IN COURT
One Goes to Kearney and Then There
Are Six Left.
Manager E. M. Fairfield of the Omaha
Water company makes this statement In
regard to some of the debated phase of
the present water situation hi Omaha:
''Mr. ft. n. Howell of the water board
lelis us that a twenty-acre tract of ground
near the Omaha Country club aite was
bought a good many years ago by the
Water company for the construction of a
second reservoir that would assure the
city of Omaha In ample supply o water
for a day or two should tho Florence main
break or tw crippled for any reason, and
says that this second reservoir is badly
needed, but that ho move hn ever been
made to build It and adds: -Why this has
not been done la for the company to an
swer.' "t'p to the time the city elected to buy
the water works system the company was
able to fu'fili all the demands on its sys
tem, but that was seven years ago, and
during the Intervening time the company
has added a largo number of consumers,
which consequently increased demand upon
lt supply nne. In 1906 the company, real
izing this, offered to put In an additional
supply main from Florence, provided the
city would agreo to add the cost with
Interest, to whatever the citv should pay
the rest of; th plant. Had the city

FORTUNE FOR MISSING MAN
Slater ta Located and IterelTra Half
the Money, hat Brother ta
iot Found
The sum of fS.BOO la awaiting David Point
or Tunt in Douglas county court, but the
whereabouts of the man are unknown. The
man named la a brother of William J.
Point, an expert machinist and Inventor In
'the Union Pacific shops who died October
24 last year leaving an estate worth 15.000.
It was known that Point, as he preferred
to be knowiv-.hls real name being Punt,
has a sitter In Scotland and a brother who
up to last June at least was a workman
In the shops of the Pullman company In
Buffalo. N. V. The Scottish aister waa lo
cated and having sent a power of attorney
here received her half of the estate. At
tempts to locate the brother have so far
failed.
The death of William Point waa a aad
blow to a girl In Scotland whom he ex
pected to be married to about the time
of, his death. Instead of his arrival In
Scotland the girl received a letter telling
of his death. These facts are learned from
a letter which she wrote here to the county
Judge. This sweetheart would undoubtedly
have bfen a beneficiary if Points had left
a will, but he died 'intestate.

Negligence on the part of the Union Pa

was declared by a coroner's Jury Monday
as partial cause of tho death of Harry
Hlchtlru, who was run over by a train at
Valley Friday afternoon. The Jury further
found that Richlleu hinvelf had been
guilty of violating safety rules by working
between two moving trains.
Richlleu suffered injuries which caused
his death while he was engaged In switch

His burial took place from the residence

accepted this offer the company would
have been perfectly alile to Buppiy all tho
demands upon It up to Hits time and for
several years to come. Tuo water board,
however, paid no attention whatever to
this offer and the city finds itself now In
a dilemma which the Water company fore
flaw foui- years ago and did everything in
their poker to avert. Until such additional
main Is laid, It will not,-in my opinion,
be advlable to- build a reservoir on tno
land referred to by Mr. Howell, which,
nevertheless, being the highest land about
the city, was tured 'with a view to lis
ultimate availability for '& reservoir.
Kongo I tt Uefore tuuiw
"I may add that Mr. Howell seems to
have forgotten that in a suit brought In
lsW6 by the Water board and the city
against the water company and the ap
praisers, it was stated in the bill of com
plaint, verified by' toe then president of j
the Water board, that this particular prop
erty waa "not necessary or serviceable or
useful In the operation of the plant,' and
the court was asked In thtit suit to decree
that It waa the duty of the board of ap
praisers to exclude that property from
their consideration and to return an
award without consideration of Its value.
"The company ceased to pay dividends
on its stock several years ago, but has
paid the Interest promptly on lta bonds out
standing which amount at the present time
to about M.SO0.000.
"An editorial In the World-Herald on the
water situation, with reference to the suit
for specific performance. Recently argued
before tha United States supreme court,
says: 'If the decision la favqffble to the
city's contention that the plant was not
fairly and properly appraised, then the
supreme court will probably direct the
United States court for this district, to pro
ceed, at once tosdetermln its true value.'
Our counsel advises us that oven If the city
were to win on this appeal there would
rm-ve to be a new appraisement. The city
has Irrevocally elected to buy the system
of water works of the Omaha Water com
pany and the only method by which the
price can be fixed Is In accordance with
the terms of the contract between tHe city
and the water company, and that Is by an
appraisement of three engineers.
World-Herald' Attitude.
"One Other matter that I would like to
touch on, is the statement reiterated In the
editorial In the World-Herald, that It la
the water company which stands in the
way of municipal ownership. Whoever
wrote that editorial must have been either
deplorably Ignorant of the water situation
uiing the last four years, or wilfully de
termined to mislead the public, for every
one who la familiar with the water situa
tion knowa that It la the city which has
been delaying completion of the purchase
of the works, while the company has been
insisting upon the completion. It Is a
well known fact that Immediately upon the
completion or tne appraisal the company
tendered Its deed of the property, and asked
to have the purchase completed and that
the Water, board. Instead of giving some
assurance of completion, passed resolutions
repudiating the appraisement. In the lit!
gatlon which the company was compelled
to bring to make tho city . IIVo up to Its
contract, tha circuit court of appeals ren
deied a decision which. authorized In every
particular the purchase which the cltlsens
have declared their desire to complete, and
which the members of the Water board pre
tend to wlah completed, and which, ac
cording to the members of ths Water board
will give the city at. the appraised valua
lion, a revenue-producing property which
will carry Itstlf,- paying interest on bonds,
cost of operations and create a sinking
fund to pay oft the bonfls without addt
tlonal taxes. '
'I am utterly weary of the Insincerity
of the Wtcr board, as evidenced by Its

Membera of the Grain exchange will take

of membershlp'frorn $600 to $1,000 Tuesday.
A vote waa taken three weeks ago, but

The move for an increase is brought by
a number of merchants of Omaha who took

Now that many applications have been
received from concerns which want to be

will be sent to every club woman In the
country telling her what play to shun.
Mrs. A. Starr Best, vice-president of th
Drama club of Evanston, aald: "Wo have
tried the Idea of demanding certain re
forms of managers, and ar not pleased
with the result. Now we will educate the"!
people to appreciate what I good, and
shun that which Is suggestive. It Is not
only a fight against th Imitforal play, but
a criticism of the weaker among th legit
imate Lilaya which we propose. When a
drama represents scenes of the corrupt
nd squalid without teaching a great
moral lesson w will put It on our black
list." .

a historical pageant for th popping of

to pass an ordinance prohibiting the sale
of firecracker between June 10 and July

TYPHOID CLOSES COLLEGE
Fever Alarm Faculty at Macon, Ga.,
and Three Hundred Students
Are Dismissed. '
MACON, Ga.. May .-Wes!eyan female
college was ordered closed, probably for the
term, by President Alnsworth, because two
students were ill with typhoid fever and
others rhowed symptoms. Many of the 30u
sti-dents. most of whom sro nonresidents,
representing nearly every atate In the
union, probably will leave (or their homes
tomorrow.
Rev. J. M. Bothwell of the Flrt Metho
dist church of South Omaha delivered a
sermon directed against modern evils us he
viewed them. Among the follies of the pres
ent which he singled out w as th 6 and 10
cent moving picture show, and In thla he
attacked especially tho Sunday feature.
"The effect Is to draw young people's and
uplift of pur drama noi of t:.e purity of
children's minds far front serious thoughts,
which should be a part of the duties of the
day of rest and of religjon. The day was
not created by pleasure-lovers for their de
lectation, but It was set apart unto Uod
and for the service of Him.
"Aslda from this, the moving picture
show, with Its cheap, palnteal vaudeville
actresses, can not be either genuinely at
tractive or elevating. There Is none of the
art. More than likely many vulgar Jokes,
such as the children dare not repeat at
home, occupy their attention. Manifold
temptations beset young fctrls and many
avenues lead to opportunity for the down
ward plunge of the wayward in. these cos
mopolitan crowds. I am not In favor of
them in any case, and am Utterly opposed
to them aa a source of Sunday amusement."
Dr. It. I.. Wheeler' Sermon.
Vxy H. L. Wheeer preached a forceful
sermon Sunday morning on the "Motljir
hood of God." He said It was a common
conception and a present day mannerism
of the pulpit to speak of th fatherhood of
Ood. By this the attributes of an austere
ruler, a being of vast conception, a stern
Judge of human action and a rigid discipli
narian of the faith were emphasized. The
speaker chose to look upon deity from the
viewpoint of Isaiah, when be said: "As one
whom his mother comforteth, so will I
comfort you, O house of Israel."
"It la common for th younger school tJ
imagine that all the-nderness of Ood Is
revealed In th New Testament scriptures.
I have studied with greater and greater
comfort th beautiful, touching passages of
the Old Testament U la overflowing with

ure an4 the result was that It waa made
hard lrt the common conception to approach
unto Ood."
