- T AELTLRE T — 5 Q THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1801 BIRKMAUSER WANTED BLOOD, Fothing but a Oup of Warm Gore Would Batisfy Him, COULD WHIP HIS WEIGHT IN WILDCATS. Disgraceful Scenes in the OfMceo of the Board of Public Works—Three Fights Narrowly Averted, The offico of the board of public works was the scero of a most disgraceful row yesterday ~ < =—morning. Peter W. Birkhauser, the venerable and vuluerable chairman of the board, appeared in the leading role and entertained the crowd in a mmaoner that would have brought the blush of shamo or euvy to the cheek of a Third ward pugilist. Tho trouble star 1y and was brought about by Charley Fanning, a former street sweoping contractor, but now the builder of tho North Omaha sewor, slipping his belt and entering the ring to fight the asphalt company and the present street sweeping eontractor, Fortunately for that contractor he was not prosent, but Assistant City Engineer Grover was. Fanning Intimated that Grover was in the employ of the Barber company and at the Bame time was drawing pay from the city Grover denied this in the most emphati terms, after which Fauming turned his at- tention to Tne Bee reportor, saying : ““‘What is the use of the chairman trying to get good results when Tue Bir is upholding _the strect sweeping and paving steal About this time Birkhauser's inspectors, who are supposed to be out earning their money, came in a drove. They all bad a word to say, but as their chief as not pres- ent to give them the cue their remarks were scattering and not aimed at any particu- lar mark All this time the crowd had been increas- ing, such men as President Tom Lowry, Conncilman Elsasser and others helping to Al the room. There was & rustio nes later and Birkhauser ent He proceeded to his private room, laid off his tile and coat, rolled up his sleeves and re-ontered, with clenchied fists and fire flashing from his oyes, Jorking off his gold bowed spectacles, he pranced up and down the room as nimbly as school boy, now, and then stopping fore Tiie BEE reportor, and at each stop eased his mind by such cjaculations as: “D—n him, let me at Lim!” “This is tho man who wrote me up.” “I can whip him; yes, Tcan whip my weight in wild cats,” “D—n Tie Bk, it has never treated me with due respect.” “This pleased the crowd and the people urged himon, He did not need any urging, and champing his bit, made a tour of tho room, while everybody ot out of the way. Tur Bee man bad taken advantage of tho momentary cessation of hostilities and climbed upon tho top of a desk. Birkhauser saw himand made another dive, but the man was out of his reach. The chairman was beside himself with rage, and in 8 tone of voice that caused the statue of Justice on the dome of the court house to turn pale, ho yelled “You G— d— —— — —, como down hero and Lot mo get after you.” ~_The small boys in the audience howled with delight., Poormaster Maboney stuck his hoad inside the door, asking if 1t was one of his in- sane patients that had got loose. Brave men shuddered, for they smelled blood, warm, red blood. The chairman stormed around fora few moments, heaping the foulest epithets upon “T'ue Bee and every person connected with it, ~from the editor to the janitor. Suddenly he darted into his room and was scen no more. Every person present was willing to bet that tho cruel war was over, but it was not. ‘The facts were, it had just opened, as devel- opments showed. Assistant City Engincer Grover made some remark about street sweeping, and it was un- fortunate for him that he did, for President Lowry took it up and referred to the fact that tho streets were in a most filthy condi- tion, intimating that to a certain extent the fault lies in the engineer's office. Grover denied that statoment, but the sound of his denial had not procéeded two foet whon Lowry brought up his right arm and was upon the point of smashing Grover in the face. Tom Fitzmorris, who happened to be in tho room, and Councilman Elsasser acted as peacomakors. Fitzmorris grabbed Lowry's srm and Elsasser whispered in his ear: “Tom, for God'ssake, for the reputation of the council, don’t fight.” Lowry did not fight, but he applied fully fifty names to Grover, none of which can be found in any book that was ever circulated {n refined families, Most of the people present thought the fun ‘was over and were willing to go away, but somehow a few got an idoa that thero was more coming, and it did come. the door a moment » Q’\ C. E. Squires had strayed in, as he said, to « find out what street Birkhauser N “wauted swopt at onco. Having spied him, and ~ as his wrath had ot reachied the zero point, Squires was put upon the rack for a roast. His entire streev 8woepiug work was discussed, with Fanning, the sewer coutractor, pointing out tumes and ~-placos where the work had not been well one. ““Yes," sald Lowry, “‘thero is the south end of the viaduct where the mud is six inches deop—" “But Tom—" and Squires tried to explain. Lowry did not want any explanation and once more planted his guns and prepared to declare war, this time on the contractor, Again it was a good thing that Tom itzmorris and) lsasser were present. lom insisted ~ that fighting would mot ~be the proper thuig to do, and that work upon the streots instead of n fight would please tho taxpayers. “[n the high position that {uu hold, Tom, you cannot #fford to fight,” said Fitzmorris, Although small, Elsasser again got in some good work ana circline around the president. of the council, exclaimed, “Tom, you must have somo respect for us.” What' & terrible blow it would be upon the council if you should cngage in a knock down, even if you BOL tho best of the bout." Lowry thought sotco and declared the “trouble at an end, Squires said he opposed fighting and would run bofore he would stand up and be knocked down by a councilmau or uny other man, That ended the trouble and the crowd dis- Eerwl whilo those having business with irkhauser bearded him in his don, — Rheumatism, Few diseases cavse more pain and suffer- ng than rheumatism; persons aficted with that disease, or who have friends troubled by it, will, wo believe, be delighted to learn that 1t can be cured.

The trustees of Bellevue college met at the Kirst Presbyterian church yesterdaymorn ing to consider several matters pertaining to the interest of the institution Dr. Kerr, president of the college, Rev. Asa Laird, Rev. J. M. Wilson, H. T. Clarke and several others were present. Dr. Kerr said the groat need of the college at present was more room for studeuts in the dormi- tories. The recitation rooms, Dr, Kerr said, were large enough at present, but the board- ing accommodations were crowded. The trustees then talked over some plan by which new buildings will doubtless bo se- cured at Bellevue to accommodate the stu- dants. It is understood that there are several parties in the east who are willing to as- sist Beillevue by the donation of several thousand dollars providing those in- terested in the institution here in Omaha will put uyu,«mto $10,000. T the local sup- porters of the collewe will come to the front the institution will probably secure a suug gift that will erect another fine, large dormitory, It is more than probaple that the amount required at home will be ralsed and the buildings put up during the coming summer. ho trustees foel very much encouraged with the outlook. There are at present sixty stu- dents in Bellevue college, and with ample facilities for boarding, this number might bo doubled next year. The board of directors met during the af- ternoon to adopt a constitution and elect pro- fessors to fill the vacant chairs in tho faculty. T'hero were about twanty directors present. The committee, consisting of Dr. W. W, Harsha of Tecumseh and Rev. Dr. Milligan of Omaha, appointed to seo Dr, Meade O, Williams of Princeton, I1L, with reference to his accenting the chair of New Testament exegesis, in the seminary, = reported Dr. Milligan said he belisved that Dr. Will- iams would accept the chair anda if so he would be an honor to the seminary. Dr. Williams was unanimously chosen, Dr. W. W. Harsha of Tecumseh recom- mended Rev. C. G. Sterling, pastor of the Walnut Hill church as an able instractor in Hebrew and Rov. Sterling was accordingly elected. Rev. Dr. Sexton, the synodical missionary for Nebraska, was elected to deliver a series of lectures on foreizn missionary work be- fore the students of the seminary the coming winter. Dr. Gordon, chairman of the committee on constitution, reported that the committeo had decided that the constitution of the Mc- Corwick seminary of Chicago was about the thing needed for the Omaha iustitution, and had proposed a constitution very similar, T 0 suggested and_finully adopted was yterian Theological Seminary at Omaha.” The constitution wus adopted.

Willlam McCarthy is the latest vietim of the dispute between thecity and county officials as to who shall take care of the tran- sient sick. He came in on the Missouri Pa- cific Monday about noon ahd was assisted into the waiting room at tho Webster stroet depot. County Commissioner Timme was on the same train and informed the officials about the depot that the man was very sick and needed immediate assistauce. Depot Master Littlefield telephoned at once to the police station for assistance and after a wrangle over the telephione was referred to the county physiclan, on the ground thatthe case was not ono for the city. About thirty minutes was thus wasted and meantime McCarthy was suffering untold agony, complaining of severe pain and griping in the stomach ana bowels. A messengor was sent for County Physician Keogh, who came at once. He felt the man’s pulse and inquired as to his condition. The patient stated that he had been troubled for a long time with paroxysms of the breast and had been suffering for about feighteen hours with pains and griping in the bowels and stomach, Dr. Keogh concluded that tho man should be romoved at once to the hospital and en- aeavored to have a hackman take the man to that place, but he refused to take an order on the county for his pay. The doctor then at- tempted to telephone to the poor; farm for a conveyanco but the wires were in bad order, and the doctor went to Sixteenth and Wei ster st s to another telephone. He finally succeeded in calliog up the poor farm and the wagon was started after the man, Dr. Keogh then went to diuner as he did not think anything could be dons for the mau until he was takeu whero he could have rest and quiet. In about ten minutes, however, a messenger came for the doctor, saying that the man was dyinz. He startod at once for the depot, but when he reached there th man was dead. The coroner was notified and the body re- moved to Heafey’s where an inquest will be held, The deceased was a stranger and nothing was known as to his residence. A bill of lad ing for a box of tools which had been shipped from Auburn to Omaha was found in his pockets, In speakingz of the matter yesterday morning Dr. Keogh stated that thero had been consid- eravle talk because he had not doped tho man with medicine. According to the man's sto he was subject to paroxysms of the heart and the best thing for him was rest and not medi- cine. When he was summoned the second time, the doctor said, he was prepared to administer a vestorative forthe heart trouble, which he supposed was the cause of tho attack, but when he reached the station the man was dead. The body is evid and di ing at Heafey's and shows 1ce of poisoning. It 1s~ badly swollen colorea. T2 A very small pill but a v Witt's Little Early Risel — His Hold is Harness. George Harper was arrcsted by Officer Bloom last night. Harperis probably the greatest harness thief in Nobraska, and has been ordered out of the city many a time. George cannot see a harness anywhere but he feels as if he must possess that harnoss. Times _innumerablo has he been arrestod for such offenses. He spends all of his time in stealiug harness and_serving out his sen- tence for the larceny, George is an old timo lodger at the police station and when brought in last night greeted tho officers witha hearty ‘“gnod evening.” Patsy Havey showed Harpey to the best room in the house and itis safe to say that the judge will “loat" him in the morning. — Dr. Birnev cures catarrh.

Discussing the Bpst Grading for Corn and Wheat—Kansas City and Minneapolls Impress 1hem Favorably, C. H. Fowler of the Fowler elevator com- pany and A. B. Jaquith of the Omaha eleva- tor company bave returned from a trip which included a visit to the loading grain markets of the country. They have taken a great in- terest in the steps looking toward the build- ing up of a grain market in Nobraska, and now that the warehouse bill has becomo a law, they regard the next most fmportant object to be attained is the establish- ment of a proper grading of the different cercals, 'They carcfully oxamined the grades at Kansas City, St Louis, Chieago and Minneapolis, and came to tho conclusion that the best thing Nebraska could do would be to adopt the Min polis grading of wheat aud the Kausas City grad- ing of corr In explaining the reason for their decision the gentlemen stated that Nebraska ought not to have a too rigid inspection. For this reason they did not approve of Chic rules which are all well enough for that ci but would not suit Nebraska cereais. Said one of them: “If we were to have our grades based on Chicago, it would knock our market mto a cocked hat," In Chicago if wheat is good enough to grade No. 2, but is a little dirty, it is rejected and sells 2a7c per_bushel below the market price of No. 2. This is a direct loss to the producer, and one that Nebraska farmers do not like, as shippers havo to buy their grain in the country just so much lower, At Minneapolis if the grain is good enourh to grade No. 2 they so grade it, but carefully estimate the amount of airt it contains and report a shrinkage suficient to cover it, as for example four pounds per bushel, This permits the farmers who have no adequate facilities for cleaning their grain at home to market it for what it is actually worth. That is the main reason why the gentlemen will recommend the Minneapoiis grading of wheat. It may be added that the system employed there has been satisfactory to producers and elevator men alike. The Kansas City grading of corn is recom- mended because it is so rigid,and would bet- ter suit the grading of corn grown in this state. All that the grain men can dois to give their advice founded upon a practical knowl- edge of the business and quirements The warehouse bill provides that the chief inspector shall have a_ general supervision of inspection of grain under the advice and im- mediate directiou of the board of transporta- tion of the state. Hence the final decision as 10 what modes shall be adojted wiil have to come from that quarter, So much of the sucee: will depend upon the ac chief mspector that grain men are very much interested in the question asto whom the governor will appoint to fill that position, So faras can be learmed the grain men of Omaha have no candidates for the place but s of the grain market on and ability of tho they have a pretty clear idea of the kind of & 'man they want. Sald ono: “If the governor willonly give us a thoroughly practical man we will be sat- isfled.” Another ventured the hope that the appointee would be a” thorough business man and not a politician/and naded that where politics had beon allowed to enter into such an appointmeni there was always certain to be more or less dissatisfaction. oo i All tor Sister.

He Talks About Railroad Affairs and the City's Growth, Mr. Jay Gould and party put in the time yesterday morning in visiting the yards ana Shops in this city and then crossed over to Council Bluffs, where the transfer depot and yards were inspected. The train bearing the party was then run to East Omaha, where the trackage and grounds were surveyed. Leaving there, the party proceeded to South Omaha via the Belt line, taking in the pack- ing houses, and afterwards returning to this city over the Union Pacific tracks. Nessrs. \lV.

After taking dinner on the train Mr. Gould vas seen by & BEE represontative and cor- roborated what Mr. Clark had said regard- ing the story sent out from Denver, which had called forth a reply from President Cableof the Rock lslnnd‘. Mr. Gould stated that he knew nothing about the reported absorption of tho Rock Island except what he had seen in the news- papers. He denouncad the report as being groundless, In reply toa question about the cuv rate on sugar made by the Missouri Pacific, Mr. Gould smiled and sald he had seen no sugar. He evaded the question, but Mr. Clark re- marked that the freight agent of the Mis- souri Pacific had only done openly what the other lines were Jdoing secretly, “He had re- cewved alengthy communication from Freight Agent Leeds on the matter and was satisfied there was no cause for all the uproar, Mr. Govld was asked if it was true that ho had any_sinister designs against the contin- uance of the Western Traflic association, to which he replied that he had i ot. “Do you think the association 1s a success in its practical operation " he was asked. “Yes, I think it is: it has served to equal- ize rates and has resulted in a better feeling generally in railway matters, I think it will continue in existence. I was unable to at- tend the meeting in Chicago on account of ill health, “I'here are ngreul many changes in your city,” contioued Mr. Gould. “I notice a groat improvement since I was here: last, The chauges which have taken place since I was here for tho first time, in 1874, ure mar- velous, At thattime we started from the depot to the hotel ina carriage which got stuck in the mud up to the hubs and we were obliged to walk. What appeared to be paved sidewalk proved: to bo only a gut filled with svater, so that my first impression of the town “yas not very flittering.” Mr. Gould inquired about the actual popu- lation of Omaha and various other data, and scomed to be favoravly impressed with tho reports of the city’s progress, About 2 o'clock” the ‘party took carriages and wore driven about the city, visiting the various points of mterest. They visited Tie Bee building and took & bird's-eye view of the city, This morning Mr. Gould and his immediate party started for New York via the Nortn- western road and will go directly through. -~ Do not take any chguce of being poisoned or burned to death with, liquid stove polish, paints or enamels i bottles.

It’s a work that isn’t fin- ished when you've stopped taking them, either. It’s lasting. They cure, as well as relieve. And it's all done so mildly and gently! There’s none of the violence that went with the old-time pill. One tiny, sugar-coated Pellet’s a gentle laxative —three to four act as a cathartic. Sick Ileadache, Bilious Headache, Constipation, Indiges- tion, Bilious Attacks, and all de- rangements of the stomach and bowels, are prevented, relieved and cured. As a Liver Pill, they’re un- equaled. They’re purely vegetable, perfectly harmless — the smallest, cheapest, and easiest to take. They’re the cheapest pill you can buy, because they’re guaranteed to give satisfaction, or your money is returned. X You only pay for the good you get. Can you ask more ? That's the peculiar plan all Dr, Pierce’s medicines aro sold on.
