County Attorney Magney Satur
day filed suit against the city of
Fremont and the Elkhorn drainage
district to abate a public nuisance
paused by improper drainage of Fre
mont sewage along the north boun
, d.-ry of Douglas county.
, The petition states that Fremont
operates ,a sewage system which
discharged into open ditches flowing
into Rawhide Creek. This creek
flows southeast through Dodge
county and into Douglas county,
where it empties into the Elkhorn
. river. Here the. Elkhorn- River
Drainage district constructed
channel, thereby cutting off a large
. part of the river bed. and carelessly
failed to-provide suitable openings
front the river bed into the new
channel.
This causes the waters of Raw
hide Creek, carrying sewage, to
stagnate and dam up the old river
bod, making the water unfit for use
along the entire course of the creek
from the north line of Douglas
county to a point where the aban
doned h-lkhorn river bed ,is inter
sected by drainage ditch and creat
, ing an unneaitnv stencn mat as a
nusiance to motorists.
The petition names J. H. Harkins
mayor, and Robert McKibbe, Ralph
Reeves, J. Glen Githens, Charles G.
Dinsmore and Sam Swanstrom,
Fremont councilmen; and Fritz
Akerlund, P. J. Langdon and E. L.

off." -

VICTORY BALL
FOR ONE AND ALL
HUGE SUCCESS
Formalities Waived as Officer
and Private, Employer and
Employe, Mingle at
Patriotic Dance.
The Victory ball, which was held
in the Auditorium last night, was
successful . from the word 'go'. A
more democratic crowd could hard
ly be imagined. Privates were per
mitted to forego the customary mil
itary courtesy to their officers; em
ployer in evening dress mingled with
employe in ordinary street attire, in
fact everyone was as good as any
one, all working toward the same
result.
The Fort Omaha Glee club enter
tained with some selections in which
the audience was invited to join.
Adelaide Fogg gave exhibition of
toe dancing. Her costumes all were
of patriotic modes.
The Dan Desdunes band played a
number of lively dances, in .which
practically everyone took part.
The amount netted by this dance
will not be ascertained for perhaps
a week, as the checks for the tickets
are still to be mailed and recorded.

Truck Drivers Change

ed there were a number of truck
drivers who were making good
money going to the country and
within a radius of 15 or 20 miles of
the city picking up loads of hogs I
ana naming mem to tne soutn
Omaha market. Now these same
truck drivers, or most of them, have
transferred from the vhog to the
passenger hauling. At two bits per
person, several of them are clearing
from $15 to $20 a day. One of the
best hauls is between Twenty-fourth
street and Ames avenue and Six
teenth and Farnam streets. On
this run they are certain of a capa
city load on nearly every trip.

"Cheer Up America"
Does That Very Thirg
at Gayety This Week
"Cheer l"p America" at the Gay
ety this week, is a good laugh
maker. Edward Lambert, "The
little Jew," is as funny a comedian
as you will find in burlesque.
Frankie Nihlo, "An Adventure
some Widow," is very clever, espec
ially in her "coon" songs, and her
costumes are of the very latest. She
is supported by a chorus of wonder-"
nil dancers and the costumes in
which the dancers appear are su
perb. Betty Towers, the model, is a big
attraction of the-show, as she sings,
dances and has a personality which
is catching the moment she steps
upon the stage.
The show is a "scream" from the
opening song to the finale.

Jitney Profiteers Are Being
Forced to Lower Prices
On account of lack of patronage
the railroads have taken off the sub
urban trains that were put on to
handle the traffic during the street
railway strike. Nevertheless fhe
transportation facilities have mater
ially improved during the last 24
hours.
When the strike started jitney
men and auto owners started to do
some profiteering and pushed prices
up to SO cents and $1 for rides from
the Bluffs to Omaha. . f t is said that
business men took the matter in
hand and that as a result a standard
fare of 25 cents has been adopted
by all the people in the passenger
hauling business. However, the
bridge toll, 5 cents is added to this
making 60 cents for the round trip.
