The Contractor Fxplains It It was stated several days ago that the residents on Third street were complaining bitterly because Contractor C. R. Mitchell, ‘who has the contract for gradiug that street, left toe street in an, unfinished and almost dopassable condition whenever he could get work: teams anywhere eclse, as his contry ed him until January1 to com- plete the job. They protested that he should not have commenced the work and torn up the street, which was previously in good coudition, until he was able to rush the work through to completion, Mr. Mitch- ell states that he has mnever taken his teams away to work on another b but once, and that was when © council ordered him to grade Fletcher avenue and Hormony street immediatoly, 80 that the paving could be put down without lelay. According to his story, the rough condition of the atreet is owing 10 the fact that several of the property owners have bad the grading in front of their property done by private contract, and in some in- stances this has left a gully through the cen- ter of the street, as the work done by two contractors on eitber side of the street wonld mot meet smoothly in the center, which was the cause of the accident to Dr, Montgomery, while driving along there in the night. Mr. Mitchell states that be will have his contract ocompleted ov time, but not much before, there are 14,000 yurds of diry 10 be hauled in, sl ‘Twill pay you to wait for Chapman's Christmas opeuing for the lutest aud finest &o0ds.

An Organized Movement Started to Becure a Five Uent Motor Fare, SEVERAL LIBEL SUITS STARTED. A Severe Accident On an Ungraded Street—Bangueting Koyal Arca- niam Guests—General and Personal Notes. Working for a Reduced Motor Rate. “When will the motor company reduce the fare between the Bluffs and Omaha to 5 cents!” is a question that is usked by inter- ested parties many times a day, but a sati factory answer is not forthcoming. Inquiry of the local members of the board of directors of the company fails to elicit anythiog b yond the fact that the board has repeatedly considered the matter, but has been unable to agreo upon a reduction of tue fare. It is suil that certain members favor the adoption d urge thut the company n commutation rate for the benefit of the laboring classes and the regular patrons of the road. Tt is understood that the directory is inclined 1o regard this proposition with favor, bub still fights o little shy of it for fear thatit vould 800u lead to the adoption of a straight beent rato. Said a citizen - yesterday, I don't see low the company can hold out against tho umited appeal of thousands of the people of both cities. It seems to me that they owe it to their regular patrons to at least give them a commutation rate, so that those wlio are compelled to go back and forth across the viver overy day can (0 80 for a sum more nearly within their means.” ‘This i8 tho expression of a great many peo- ple, both business men and those of the la- boring class, ana it is feit that a reduced rate i8 no more than what they are justly en- titled to. 1t is now reported that the people of both cities will resort to concerted nction to so- cure what they deem so_imperative to the welfare of both places. The fact is recog nized that the present fare is u decided re- duction over that charged by the Union Pacific co before the opening of the motor ling, and a corresponding benefit, but it is also believed that a_further reduction, which will still further benefit both cities, will likewiso benefit the compuny by the great increase in travel which would result. 1t has been clearly demonstrated that the company cannot be driven or browbeaten into reducing the fare, ns they are of the opinion that they are able to manage their business without outside interference, and it is now the intention to have the representa- tive bodies of botn cities o to the and demonstrate the wishes of majority of the people regariing a reduced rate. It is believed that it this is doune the company will take cognizance of the situation and act ordingly. The opinion now pre- vails that a reduction of the fare can be se- cured by Junuary 1. oAtk A Neumeyer hotel, first class,reasonable rates shall at Bixby, plumbing, steam heating, Merriam block. —————— Fountain cigar, a strictly 10¢ cigar for 5¢ at the Fountain, Try one. ot The Ross Investment and Trust company. it ey Drs.

S They Want Financial Soothing Syrup A craze for instituting libel suits h struck the city, papers having been filed the district court within the past two days asking for judgments for nearly $100,000 be- cause of alleged libelous and defamatory utterances. D. E. Gleason was the first offe 1o start the ball rolling. He has filed a pe- tition claiming £40,000 of George H. Champ, of the firm of Kimball & Champ, because the Jatter 18 alleged to have swid und caused to be published in the Globe, that Gleason sold bim’a tou of coal whicih was found to be 157 pounds short in weight. He sues tor 320,000 foriibel, and tor » like amount on a second charge of slander. It is understood that he is also preparing to institute proceedings against the Giobe for a similar amount, but it isstated that the papers xiil not be filed until Monday. ‘Another slander suit was mstituted yester- ‘day 10 which William Siedentopf 18 plaintiff and A. T. Flickinger gefendant. The amount sought to be recovored is $20,000. ‘The grounds on which the suicv is instituted are certain utterances of the defendant in the case of Bloomer, administrator, vs. Flickinger, which was tried last week, and the outcome of which was a personal encounter between two of the attorneys engaged on the case during tho noon recess. It is alleged thut Flickinger referred to Siedentopf as a per- jured liar, and Siedentopf has solemnly afirmed that it will require at least §20,000 to repair the injury to his lacerated feelings and to his character s an _honest, honorable and law-abiding eitizen. Flickinger’s story is that Siedentopf, while on the witness stand, said that he (Flickinger) was a liar, etc,, 'ete., and that when he was placed on the stand and cross-exumined by Sieden- topf’s attorney he stated. in response to a question as to whether he hud any more w0 say, that if he was to follow tho éxample set by Siedentopf he would say that Siedentopf was a liar aod aperjurer. The case will come up at the Junuary term of the district court. —_— - Wanted at once, eight brush hands. None but first class workmen need apply.

Can a Murderer Profit by the Beguest of His Victm The court of appeuls at Albauny has divided on a curious question never bn- fore raised in this state, the New York Herald. Tt whether a legatee who has murdered his testator can take the property left to him by the will, Francis B. Paimer made a- will by which he left small legacies to his two daughters, and then gave the rest of his estate, on certain conditions, to his s Illmer E. Palmer, a boy of sixteen, The boy knewof the provision of the will in his favor, and also that his grandfather was thinking seriously of revoking it. 'To prevent this and to get possession of the property he dekib- erately murdsred the old man by poisoning him. For this crime he was convicted of murder in the ond de- gree and sent to' the reformatory. be lower courts decided that the murder could not alfect the provisions of the will, and hence that the boy was entitled to the property bequeathed to him. This vi was also taken by two judges of the court of appeuls, Gray and Dunforth It was based on the ground that a will can be broken only for the veasons preseribed by statute, and among these reasons the legislature has not inciuded murder of the testator by a legatee. I should not hesitate,” says Judge Gray, “lo assent to view vhich commend themselves to the e science. But the matter doesnot 1 within the domain of conscience. We are bound by the rigid ruies of law ave been established by the ority of the court come to a nal conclusion. They think to be determived in accor- 0 with equity and common sense ruther than slavish adherence to rigid rules of statutory construction. It wa the intention of the lawmakers th the donees in a will shonld have the property. *But it never could h en their intention that u donee who murdered the testator to make the will operatiy should have nny benecfit under it.” To hold that legal right to pperty may be acquired by murder, Judge Karl, would be *‘reproach to'the jurisprudence of our state and an offense against.public policy.” The decision of the court is that the boy is entitled to nothing unde: the will and that. the property must go to the two daughters of the testator. To have enforced the provisions of the will 1 favor of the murderer would have made the law us weil as the court ridiculous. e ‘Watch the box, buy the genuine Red Cross Cough Drops, 5 cenls per box. - - A TREE'S RECORD OF ITS LIFE, The Character of Each Successive Season Shown.
