The council meetings used to be dry, for mal affairs, but i new esprit de corps have been developed, and every now and then there is a session that is worth the money. At a meeting of the council commit tee of the whole yestterday morning, J. A. Sunderland, R. B. Howell, Mayor Dahlman and Commissioners Butler and Jardine held a little forensic free-for-all. The remark was made that the council chamber is a public speedway where debaters may burn up a tew shavings. K. a. Howell and I. A, Sunderland were the chief exponents of spoken ideas on this occasion. Mr. Sunder land appeared as chairman of the Commercial club's special electric light rate committee, to ask that the council agree to delegate a repre sentative to confer with a represen utive of the light company in I he capacity of advising the special com mittee before it makes up its final re port ot information recently prepared oy three experts. Howell Speaks Up. is there anything in your engi neer's report which the public should not know?" asked Mr. Howell, who added: "The committee should do its work openly and above board. Your committee is in an unfortunate posi tion. The public does not feel that the electric light company is paving the expenses of these engineers for a report adverse to the company." "1 resent the imputation that our committee is dominated by General Harries or the light company, lhis is an honorable committee," replied Mr. Sunderland, with considerable unction. Must File Report Commissioner Butler insisted that the special committee should file with the city a copy ot the engineer s re ports as requested in a recent resolu tion of the council. He was sus tained- The discussion arose when the But ler 6-cent electric light rate ordinance was brought up. This ordinance was laid over for sixty days upon motion or the mayor. Mr. Sunderland explained that his uuiumittee is endeavoring to perlorni a publir. service in arriving al what would be a reasonable and just rate, or rates, to be charged by the light company. In view of this effort by the committee a majority ot the city council believe that the Commercial club's, committee should be given an opportunity to complete its work in its own way, the understanding being that, the findings ot the committee have no binding effect on the council, but will be accepted tor what they may be worth. Inheritance Tax On Brandeis Estate Will Net Tidy Sum Douglas county will profit very ma terially from the inheritance tax on the estate of the late Arthur Bran deis, although the amount paid will not be as great as that from several other estates probated in Omaha According to Lounty Judge Bryce Crawford, the amount to be paid in from the Arthur Brandeis estate will probably be between $5,000 and $6,000. The amount goes into the road fund. Administrators have not yet filed their formal inventory of property and no appraisal for purpose ot col lecting the income tax can be made until they do so. The estate of Hugo Brandeis paid an inheritance tax of $9,900, but the estate of his brother, Arthur, will not reach this figure, as he was a citizen of New York state at the time of his death. Educational Work at "Y. M." To Be Extended This Year The educational work of the Young Men's Christian association will be extended materially during the com ing school season, which opens early in September, according to C. J. Shaw, the educational director, who has returned trom tne summer con fi-rence it Lake Geneva. Wis. "We in tend to provide educational facilities for any young man that applies to us. and we will try to give him just the work that he Is looking for," said Mr. Shaw. "I found that Omaha has been among the leaders in the large cities of the country in providing vo cational and cultural courses for young men. It has, indeed, surpassed niany of the larger eastern cities in this work. Three-Mill Levy for Water Approved by City council The water board's reauest that a 3- mill levy be made lor hydrant and other public water during 1917 was approved by the city council commit tee of the whole. General Manager Howell explained that this will be a tax against an property ior puouc water, and he added that if this tax should not be made the consumers would have to make it up. Ihe levy will yield approximately JISU.UW. Burolar Makes Peculiar Theft from Ramble Home Two chickens, four eggs, a sport coat, a fishing license, a club member ship, a set of silverware and several small pieces of jewelry made up an assorted haul from the home of Mrs. H. E. Ramble. 6417 North Forty-sec ond street. Sunday night, entrance to the residence was gained through a rear window. Divorce Decree is Set Aside Following Visit of the Stork lhe stork threw in the reverse dutch on the operations of the di vorce mill in Judge Sears' court, when the decree granted January 21 to Hilda Mattox against Walter Mat tox, was set aside. Mrs. Mattox, in a letter to the county attorney, asked that the de cree be set aside, stating that she has a 2-weeks-old baby, and ajuld not appear in person wtihout being com pelled to walk four miles to the car line. She lives near Florence. The troubles of the rniinle hiv. ucen patcnea up as a result of the visit ot the stork, it was stated. Several Injured As Auto Rolls Over High Embankment Charles C. Stearns, 812 North Thit-ty-ninth street, superintendent of the Adams-Kelly company, escaped un scathed, but his family, consisting of Mrs. Stearns, his son, daughter and mother-in-law, were painfully injured Sunday night in Riverview park when tneir auto rolled down a high em bankment near the pavilion. Mr. Stearns was behind the auto, which had stopped because the gas supply waj exhausted, when the mis hap occurred. It knocked him over when it rolled down. His mother-in-law, Mrs. Foster, 80 years old, suf fered injuries to her spine. Mrs. Stearns was slightly bruised and the son and daughter were badly cut up. Man Locked in Ice Box About Freezes to Death J. Deeps, an employe of the Central hotel, Eleventh and Dodge streets, had a narrow escape from freezing to death Sunday when the door of a re frigerator into which he had stepped closed and left him stranded in the cold box. He had been there prob ably twenty minutes when the pro prietor opened the door and found him beating his arms to keep up aj circulation, rie was compelled to stay in the box with the door open for fifteen minutes more, the tempera ture of the outer room being too warm to risk his coming into it im mediately. Refer Street Opening Problem to City Lawyers Two ordinances, referring to tht opening of Douglas street, Twenty fourth street to Twenty-fifth avenue, were referred by the city council com mittee of the whole to the city at torney and City Planning board for report next Monday. There is a legal question whether the division of this improvement into two districts in order to keep within the $50,000 maximum for any one district, is a subterfuge which might invalidate the special taxes. ROAD DRAGGING FOND HAS BALANCE New Automobile License Law Proves Bonanza for Doug las County Highways. INCREASE IN LICENSES If Douglas county roads are not in good condition this season it will not be due to a lack of available funds to keep them in shape. The new automobile. license law is proving a genuine bonanza, so far as Douglas county is concerned, and the road dragging fund now contains a balance of $26,579.32, immediately available for road dragging, upon order of the county commissioners. The number of automobile licenses issued this year is far in excess of expectations, and the number issued daily continues to be large. : More than 200 numbers have been issued since July 1, and the total of ma chines licensed in Douglas county is nearing the 8,000 mark, according to County Treasurer Ure. The annual license is $3, or $1.50 for six months, the licenses expiring December 31, 1916. Of the amount paid, 35 cents goes into the state treasury to pay for numbers and reg istration, and the balance goes Into the road dragging fund of the county in which the license is paid. Balance Is Large. Since January 1, $20,500 has been paid into the Dounglas county road dragging fund from this source, and a balance of $10,167 was on hand at the opening of the vear. So far the county commissioners have ordered the expenditure of but $4,087 for road dragging. "We are keeping the roads in aaod shape, and for the first time have plenty of money available for drag ging, ' said Commissioner A. C Harte. "We have one big machine at work on the Military road to Elk City, another on the Lincoln high way, and a third on other main trav eled roads running into Omaha. In addition, we are employing a num ber of four-horse machines on the lateral roads intersecting with the other highways. Plenty of funds are on hand to keep our men employed constantly, and Douglas county road: should show great improvement un der the new law." Nebraska Pro'nibs to National Convention at Minneapolis Twenty-five prohibitionists from Omaha and Nebraska departed for Minneapolis yesterday evening over the Great Western to attend the na tional convention of the Prty. They occupied a special car. In the party were J. H. Durry of Bradshaw, state chairman, and D. B. Gilbert of Lin coln, national committeeman.

Though the earthquake caused con siderable material damage to Sands boro, partially wrecking the hotel, a bank and several smaller buildings, but few casualties and no fatalities resulted. Within an hour Hope, Cleo and Dr. Owen, their clothing still showing traces of dust and falling plaster, were seated about a table in the letter's study, poring over the book which Cleo had snatched from Olga during the panic in the restau rant. "There's nothing in this one, either," said Hope disgustedly, as he turned the last leaf and slammed the cover. "That leaves six more books to" look for. Things are narrowing down, in any event.' Where do we go nowr asked Cleo. "The next name on the list," said Hooe. taking from his pocketbook the page from Dawson's ledger, "is Rich ard Patten, care general delivery, Santa Eulalia." "And where is Santa Eulalia? "It's at the southern end of the San Joaquin valley, Miss Burke," said the physician. "Right in the edge of the mountains. It's only a small place. You shouldn t have difficulty in imd- ing your man there." When Hope and Cleo descended from the branch line local at Santa Eulalia late the following afternoon they found that they were, as Owen had said, in the edge ot tne moun tains. Santa Eulalia is one of those rural communities where everyone is, or professes to be, familiar with the details of everyone else's business. In such towns there are three recognized fountain-heads of information: The hotel, the general store and the bar ber shop, and, as the proprietor of the general store was also postmaster, it was to him that Hope, having set tled Cleo in the onlv hotel that the town boasted, addressed his inquiries. "Do I know Dick Patten?" repeated the storekeeper in response to Hope's question. "Well, I reckon I do. I've sold a heap of goods to Dick. He's outfitted with me for's much as fif teen years." "What is his business?" asked Hope. "Well," said the merchant r. r fan., but later cleo I flectively, "I reckon you might call :."r.y,:SiPicl Prospector and not be iar wrong. At any rate, that's what , he's been doing as long's I've known him. Never made a strike that I heard tell of, but he always has money to pay his bills. A queer fel low, Dick is. Quiet sort, fond of books, never talks about himself, seems to like his own company, stays just long enough to get his mail and load up his burro Vith provisions, and then he's off for the mountains again. He takes a trip to 'Frisco once or twice a year and when he comes back he usually has a lot of old books with him. Gets 'em to read when he's off prospecting, I reckon. Come to think of it, he'd just got back from the city the last time I seen him." "How long ago was that?" - "About a week ten days maybe." ."Have you any idea where I could find him?" "Not the least in the world, friend. Were you wanting to see him about something particular?" "Yes," said Hope, "I want to see him very much indeed." "Then the best thing you can do, friend," the storekeeper asserted, "is to sit right down here in Santa Eulalia and wait for him." The Kern county fair had opened ita gates and the people of the county for half a hundred miles around were pouring into Bakersfield in motor cars, in wagons, and on horseback, by train. As 4 o'clock drew , near, the crowd deserted these attractions and slowly drifted toward the field where Bob Smith, the Daredevil of the Sky," was advertised to give his hair-raising and perilous aeroplane exhibition. As Smith, a slim, wiry built fel low, clad in the leather garments of an aviator, was crossing the field from the hangar to his waiting aero plane, he was hailed by a tall young men who, accompanied by a fashion ably dressed woman, had, with con siderable difficulty, pushed his way through the crowd. "Hello, Bob I" hailed the Itranaer evidently an easterner by his dresb. "don't you remember me now that you've become famous?" "By Jove," exclaimed the aviator, running forward with outstretched hand, "if it isn't Gerald Morton 1 What on earth are you doing here?" "Oh. I'm spending a few dava down the valley, near Santa Eulalia," Mor ton replied, a trifle evasively. "I have a little business there that requires my attention. Let me introduce yon to my inend, tne countess ivanoff. "Mr. Smith," continued Morton, turning to Olga, "is responsible for my interest in aviation. He taught me to drive a machine when he had a school on Long Island, two yean ago." (To Be Continued Tomorrow.; .. .': P
