THE ELKHIORY AT OUR DOORS, What the Oonnty Oommissioners Would Accomplish With This Stream. A WOMAN ACCUSED OF ROBBERY, Mrs, Mann Arrested on that Charge— Her Husband Hunts Her Accuser With a Gun—Those Via« duots—Other News, A Great Scheme. Com foner Corliss for some time past has been revolving a theory in his mind, and has now ventured to express it. It isnone other than to bring the Elkhorn river to this and ut it for power purpose: tap it at Elkhorn city distance of about twenty-five miles from this city. straight line wounld shorten_the distan to about cighteen miles. This distan he thinks is a matter of no moment to a eity with the possibilities of Omaha, es- pecinlly when it is considered that such a little place as North Platte undertakes and accomplishes a similar work with a length of fifteen miles, stream could be brought here, i result largely Mr. Corliss thinks in creasing the manufactories of the cit; The power for many industrial entel prises could be furnished by the water which would have a fall of about seven feet to the mile. Near Elkhorn City, stream is about 150 feet ¢ and from 8 to 10 feet in depth, There is a constant supply water, he claims, and it might be utilized aswell as not in the manner suggested. Both Commissioners O'Keefe and Timme seem also to have given the mat- ter considerable attention., hey are not without the belief that the enterprise would prove remunerative, and each of them suggested that they thought the matter ought to be taken in hand by some sirergetic and responsible eapitalists. WAS HII ROBBED. Mrs. Mann Charged with Theft—Her Husband Takes a Hand. A man named Dan Cameron yesterday afternoon made complaint in Justice Anderson’s court that he had been robbed in Bertie Mann’s Twelfth street pa sin. A warrant was accordingly for Mrs. Mann, and she wa an officer and brought | Anderson. She was given an immed; hearing, and pleading not guilty, placed under $500 bonds for furtheir e amination, which she furnished. According to Mirs. Mann's story her arrest was made for the purpose of ex- torting money from her by Cameron. She says he 18 a “sure-thing” ;f:nnhlvr and a man who would do anything to raise money. That he stayed in 3 house Tuesday night she does not deny and avers the facts in the case to be as follows: Johnnie Mann, the woman's hushand who is now conducting a_saloon and 5nmn]mg house at Buffalo Gap, maha on Monday and started on a spree. He had been accompanied on tae train from Buffulo Gap by Cameron, who had been *‘working” that thrivin city. Cameron and Mann drank together frecly Monday, and at night, when both were very drunk, they came to Mrs. Mann’s house. They were put to bed by attendants, both occupying the same room. When they awoke Tuesday morn- ing they at once started out on a spree, and Mann again became very much in- toxicated. About 3 o’clock that after- noon Cameron returned to the house and mformed Mrs. Mann that he had been robbed the night before of $175 and asked her to return the money. Mrs, Mann said she did not take the money and told Cameron to talk to the colored man who had put him to bed and see if he could have taken it. This Cameron refused to do, but said that he would make her pay the money. The next that Mrs. Mann knew about the case was when the officer arrested her. She accompanied him to the court, and then asked permission to go for her husband. The request was granted, but when Mrs. Mann returned Cameron had left the court room. Upon hearing of his wife’s arrest, JohnnieMannimmediately began a search for Cameron with blood in his e; The Tatter hearing of it, made himself searce, packing his “grip” and taking the 6 o’clock train out of the city. As Johnnie i8 a bad man with a gun, and he was known to be armed, Cameron probably considered discretion the better part of wvalor. Whether he will return to prose- cuto the case or not matter of doubt. Mr, Mann says that Cameron indulged in a game of faro at Higgins’ gambling rooms on Tuesday and “blew in’’ $175, and vrulmhly thought he could ‘“make even” oft of Mrs. Mann, me to Something About the City Council's Action-—-A Dispute Settled, The action of the city council Tues- day evening in regard to viaducts was watched with great interest by a large proportion of the people of Omaha, as it was anticipated that the much-vexed question would then be settled, The course taken by the councilmen, however, defers action for atleastone week longer. The recommendation of the board of pub- lic works of the plans of the Morse Bridge company was referred to the committee on viaducts and railways. The members of this committee have an- nounced themselves as in favor of these plans, and so there is no doubt of a favor- able report on them. The question to be decided upon is that of location, on either Tenth or Eleyenth strel Mr. Cnllnwu)]', general manager of the Union Pacific, has expressed & prefe Tenth st but the decis with the property owners on those streets Another important move in the viadu puncil was the passage of the 3 uet which was submitted to tho council last Octobe This report was the subject of a long ana heated discussion at that time, the great- est stress beng laid th art of the report referring to the onening of Fou teenth strect. A number of property - owners on that street were present at the council meeting, and _expressed their wviews on the question. Mr.” B, F. Smith . said that the severest blow that could be dealt to the property owners on that street would be the opening of the street under the railroads to the width of onl thirty feet. He believed it would be better to leave it entirely closed for the the present and open it to its full width when it was opened at all, General J, C. Cowin fprotested aguinst any action by tho city council which would “destroy the value of the proper that street for the purpose of ‘increasing the value of property on other streets. He agreed with My, Smith about opening Fourteenth street only thivty foet, preferred to have it closed for the present. A number of others also ln'oluau-d aguinst opening the strecet to the width of thirty feet, After this protest an effort was made to induce the ruilvoad companics « 1o agree to ope Le street still wider but it utterly led, Mur, Call way, general manager of the Union P made a statement of what the would expect of the railvoad in regard to urteonth and other streels to sceure the Sixteenth street vinduot, This state- t, Mr, Callaw b E red by the v minittee and the port which was adopted by the couneil _m- night conformed "to it.

The agents of the seventy insutance companies doing business in Omaha yes- terday filed with City Treasurer Buck seventy notices, each one of which in- formed that official that unless he re- funded within ninety days two-thirds of the taxes paid by the companies to the city, suit would be commenced to recover the entire tax. The ground taken by the companies in filing the notices is that the tax is illegal and not in_accordance with te overning the m While banks and other tinancial corporations are assessed at one:-third of the eapital stock invested, the insurance combanies are taxed on their full gross premiums. The companies claim that their tax should be assessed in the same man banks, which would be on o-thir the gross premiums, and henee the de- mand for a two-thirds rebate. ‘T'his is not the first action which has been taken in the matter by any means, The last step on the part of the com- nanies was some two months ago, when they petitioned the city council to reduce their taxes two-thirds, This the council nsequence.

Gus Shultz and his wife, who have fre- questly been arvested for disturbing the peace by fighting, were again run in by the oflicers of the law last evening. They had company this time in the person of Lottie Combs, a notorious prostitute, who became implicated in the fight by calling a policeman. Mrs. Shultz was badly bruised and cut during the melee. She asserts that Shultz came home drunk abont 6 o'clock and, seizing a stove poker, began to her without provocation.

The coasting carnival appears to he an agsured fact, and if the preparations now being contemplated are carried out it will be an assured success.

The members were busie yesterday in going to different residents on Dodge street, and requesting them to light up their hou on mnext Saturday night, when the carnivalis to be held.

A meetingof the Omaha fair s tion committee, with represen from the state fair board was held day afternoon at the Paxton. There was no disposition on the part of those from the state board to interfere or conflict with the holding of the Omaha fair. The whole matter was talked over and although not definitely seitled it w the unanimous opinion that there were room for two fair circuits to work in con- junction and to the gen i of all. Lincoln has already date for the week ending Sept. 17. It was thought that the season would open at Council Bluffs, followed by Omaha, Des Moines, Lincoln, then Kansas City and St. Louis. would not conflict " with the Minnesota and Wise in state fairs, While the date of | the not definitely decided, the ssion is that it would be satisfactory Another meeting will probably be held in Lincoln on February 15, at which the dates of the two Nebraska fairs will be definitely decided upon. To reporter yesterday, Mr. Furnas ““There is no reason why there should be any conflict betw: the Omaha Fair association and the ¢ board. Some talk last fall might indicate there would be, but th vor.Thero_is plenty room for two good circuits in Nebraska, and these may and will work with due regard to cach other’s inferests,” Prosecuting His Assailants, Yesterday Officer Rowles swore out a warrantin police court for the of Hans Young and his brother Charles, Rowles charges the defendants with hav- ing assaulted and beaten him on last Saturday night, without cause or provo- eation, The trouble grew out of a row in Hans Young’s saloon which Officer Rowles tried to quell. He had suceeded in stop- ping the fight, when he was attacked by the two Youngs. He would have been badly worsted in the fight, had it not been that other policemen arrived on the scene when the trouble was at its height.

NEBRASKA HOGS, Something About the Porkers of this State—Timely Suggestions. “Do you know that your Nebraska farmers are not raising as good hogs as those of Towa and Illinois?” remarked an old hog buyer to a representative of “I bought hogs for years in 2o both for shipment and for the King-houses, and when I commenced ng on the Omaha market I noticed the difference immediately. In fact 1 have not seen many loads of what 1 would call first-class packing logs in this market. The hogs are not well built, they do not have the square ha and hams that are so much sired by the packing-liouses. They too apt to have sharp and na row hacks. A good many are rough and coarse built and lack the smooth appear- nee of a well-bred _hog. What is the Well, I ecan’t say that on except that the farm- are not taking pains enough to keep up the standard of their stock. There is no reason why this state should not produce as good hogs state in the union. I think the Py farmer here has an idea that an animal with four legs and bristles on his_back is a hog and does not appear to realize that it may be only a worthless serub. He breeds anything and everything and un- such rement “tho breed is deteriorated ather than i d. To improve the breed i is not necessar, to spend llmxu"y in buytng ~ high priced blood- ed animals; all the farmer need do is to take pams and select only the best built finest to keep for his stockers. “What breed do I consider the best? Well, that is a question I can’t answer; the fact is you will not see_many pur blooded hogs nowadays o Berkshires and Poland Chinas _app to have the among the packers, but st packing hogs I e n the two. It is not to follow any one breed, m R armer seleet as near pe animals as possible, and turn off the r In the course of two or three yea would sec a great improvement farmer would realize far more in the sale of his hogs.” an see for yourself that it my a great difference. with the p: houses what kind of hogs they ge cannot sell il e hams for w turned ones Omaha packers have Chicago prices for hogs as the quotations are reported, but in Teality they have paid 10c above Chi- eago as the hogs received here were so much poorer, “The packing houses can- not afford to do th ve are work: to build up a mar! are willing to pay a little mor tern market price. The ti s however, when hogs will be docked just as closely as poor hogs are in the older eastern markets. The would good work if it would impr minds of the mers of Nebra importance of raising good stock and that it costs no mere to raise a choice an mal which wili bring the top mark price, than it does to raise a worthless serub that no one wants to buy.” reason for this? there is any r er of Nebrask Union sewing machine lasts a life time.

The remarkable good fortune which has attended the shipping of fruit to Branch & Co., the commission merchants, has been the subject of much comment. But a carload of 270 boxes of Messina lemons, which this firm received this morning, heads all former records from the fact that the shipment came through during the severest weather and not single lemon was frozted. Lemions re- ceived at tais time ot the year are all the more choice, the later the shipment the riper they become and they are consequently more juicy than when they first come.
