would be granted, but because of the
lack of sufficient help In the office of

Gilbert Parker once wrote a story called
i.o .isoi or way." Yesterday tha
same, question, under slightly different
aspects, came up between Jim J ergons
and Antone Klambent. two truckmen o:
Armour's, and the result was a black
eye for Jergens and physical restraint
for Klambent, .
According to the story of Jergens,
Klambent claimed the right of way over
Jergens on the trucking track. Jergens
refused to accord the same to Klambent
and the two opposing forees that forever
make for the climax of tragedy or comedy
met. with the result that Jergens' facial
beauty was disfigured and Klambent was
arrested.
Judge Callanan will determine Monday
as to which of the two really had the
right of way.
Farmers Heat for Constable.
w- Chamberlain and J. II. Johnson,
two farmers arrested Friday for fighting
at Twenty-sixth and N .streets, are very
anxious for an interview with Constable
?JKr'!50lUn8 whom ttV claim owes

Collins arrested the men Friday and
charged them with fighting. At the time
he insisted that the cause of the fight
between the two was over a 110 note
which one wished to extract from the un
willing purse of the other.
Chamberlain maintains that the con
stable took the note for safe keeping At
latest accounts he had not met the con
stable. Seek Payment for Hose.
Monday's meeting of the city council

Sharp Tilt Between

when Commissioner Llsasser Introduced
a resolution to rop:i the South Omaha

Lynch's remark, as a criticism of his
ability to draft a resolution. He rose and
declared Lynch was too quick to crltlcl
him.
"When we're not supposed to buy any
thing over 1100 without a resolution. Mr,
Lynch voted yes when a claim of Jl.OOO
came In for an automobile bought with
out getting bids or anything else," safd
Elsasser, "When he docs wrong It's all
right; but If I make a mistake he criti
cises me."
"I wasn't criticising Mr. Elsasser,"
flashed back Lynch. "I wanted the right
to vote as I 'pleased. If Mr. Klsasser
memory Is as good as mine he knows
I've got good reason for wanting the reso

the money and It Is needed; but I'm not

There was a laugh at Eisasser's expense
and the Incident was closed.

Mr. Nachtlgall's plans show very at

feet. It will have a swimming pool,

"There are several quacks of a certain
class In the city who have been operating
here for many yearn with Impunity. The
very nature of the diseases they profess
to cure makes It very difficult for the
law or for newspaper publicity to do any
thing with them, for the people who ee
duped by them will suffer In silence
rather than admit their disease.
"These quacks would all go out of busi
ness in a month If they were refused ad
vertising space Inlthe newspapers. But
there Is one newspaper In town which
sttll persists In printing their ads, .be
cause of the revenue they bring. Tou
will find, this paper printing their ad all
through the week and devoting an aston
ishingly large amount of space to them
on Sundays.
"Since this paper will not refuse these
ads of Its own accord, it Is to be hoped
that publlo sentiment will soon force it
to do so. Kveiy day the sentiment la grow
ing among reputable advertisers against
having their ads run In company with
these quack ads."

Though the Board of County Commis

Press of other business was the cause. The
