THE OMAH RIGHT OF WAY IS ASSURED Lincoln's Mayor Immediately Signs the Rook Island Ordinance. ORDERS GIVEN TO BEGIN WORK Nothilng Now to Prevent the Company Lay- fng Its Tracks Except a Temporary njunction—How the Streets Will Be Protected. Lixcors, Neb,, July 18.—[Special to Tmr Bre.| ~Mayor Weir this moruing attached bis official signature to the Rock Island right of way ordinance, passed by the city council last avening. Nothing is to prevent the Rock Islaad from constructing its new line through the city but the restraining ordor issued by the distriot court on the ap- plication of the Lancoln Street Railway com- pany. No date nas yot beon sot for hoaring, but as the order sunply restrains the Rock Island temporarily from laying its tracks across O stroet, work is not likely to be long delayed. The residents along tho rignt of Wway north of R streot were this morning @ivon noticoe to cloar the rightof way of all buildiugs and the work of removing them will bo commenced at once. Tae ordinanco passed by the council last evening gives tho Rock Islavd permission to oceupy O stred Wwith two tracks, ono of which shull be the main line, three tracks on L, M, N and Mon- Yoo strocts, avd four on Q and K streots. The Rock Island is to close all crossings with tron zates during Lue passage of trains and O streot is ot to be obstructed longer thau four winutes at a time. a It looks as if the syndicato which yester- @ay purchased tho Lincoin City Electrio company’s street car 1ino will have several lega! baitics to fisht before it can take pos- session and operate thoe property. George k. Bigelow, one of the original owners of the road, bas filed a protest ngainst the sale, al- leging that the mortgages under which the rond was sold were null and void; that the second mortgage had been secured by mis- representation; that they wero not due; and that the cowpany had no authority under its charter to_crcate an indobtedness greater than 33,333, Another protest was filed by V. Henry Smith, representing the Capital Heignts Street Railway company, which had been merged into the Lincoln City company. He alleges tbat all that part of the road soid yosterday south of O street was still th proporty of the Capital Heights company hat the latter company was not responsiolo for tho debts of the Lincoln City company; and that any attempt of the purchasers to take possossion of tho road would bo met with legz] resistanco. No aemund has_yet beon made by the new owners of the road and it is still runuing under the management of Receiver G. K. Brown. Tho road has never pald expenses and will nced a great many improvements and extensions before 1t can be transformed 1nto paying property. Witharaws from the Rac C. W. Grifiith of this city, who has heen quietly working up a boom for the ropublican momination for state treasurer, has with- drawn from tho race and now says that he will not bo a candidate. His witharawal has cleared up the poiitical atmosphere in Lincoln very materiaily, for his boom has been constantly bumping up against the boom turned loose by George Bowerman, ‘who is after the republican nomination for auditor of public accounts. Mr. Bowerman now seems to be theonly candidate from Lancaster county who will go into the repub- lican state convention and his iriends say that he will be backed by the solid delega- tion from this county. Lincoln has entertaned two_rival audito- rial booms this week. P. O. Hedlund of Holdrege and J. A. Cline of Minden are both in the field and both have beon at the Capital hotel since Sunday. Mr. Cl ussorts with candor and confidence that he will come to Lincoln on August 4 backed by a majority of the delegates from the Fifth congressional district, while Mr. Hedlund, when pressed to a corner, admitied that Mr. Cline wouldn't even bo Im it when the convention assom- bled.

HOW THEY WORKED WEHRER FOR A VOTE Created a New Office and Then Filled it with Charlie’'s Friend—Hot Fight of the Antis Against n Hope- less Situation, Membérs of the Board of Education who had been flattering themselves with the thought that they had practically accomn- lished the defeat of Mr. Charles Conoyer in the contest for the secretaryship of the board were suddenly made s ware of the fact last night that they were not trotting in the samo olass with Mr. Conoyer's sup- porters, In the oloction last night Mr. Conoyer's friends scored another victory so clean cut and decisive that their opponents left tho field 1n disorder immediately after the first voliey, leaving overything to the viotors. “Lhe anti-Conoyer men were not within hail- ing distance of success at any stage of the rame, Spenking Bogan Promptly. Promptly at S o'clock the board took up the business of the evening proceedings from the poiut whore business was shut off when the board adjourned on last Saturday evening. A lotof eloquence was exvended in dis- cussing the advisabiiity of laying stone sidewalk along the west side of the Izard school. Mr. Gibson offered a resolution in favor of letting the contract for natural sandstono walk to Messrs. Furnas & Sons at a cost not to exceed 19 cents per square foor. He held that 1t would be cheaper to Iay natural stona than to pay the price agroed upon by the city council for artificial stone. There was a fighton at once. Messrs. Martin, Smyth und Babcock wanted the matter reforred to the committee on build- ings and property with power to act, and that was the final disposition made of the matter. Then came the cloction and the coup de main--whatever that is Just a Little Smooth Work. Mr. Corvell moved that the board proceed to the election of a secretary, an inspector of buildings, a foreman of repairs, and an at- torney of the bonrd. This motion had,a flash of lightning in it. 1t contained a new iaea, a scheme for the creation of a new oftice, that of foreman of repairs, and the subsuitution of inspector of buildings for superintendent of buildings. Mr. klgutter moved an amendment pro- viding for the election of a secretary first and by a soparato ballot. The amendment was lost and then camo a long fight over the original motion. Mr. Elgutter made & vigor- ous attack upon the scheme, but Mr. Smyth, Mr. Martio and :thers, who formulated the vlan, only ..miicu and smilea and called for the vote. Mr. Smyth finally grew somewhat warm and Irritable under the cross fire poured into the supporters of the scheme, but Mr. Mar- tin fairly overflowed with good humor and indulgea in remarks of a_caustic and humor- ous nature, whilo Mr. Gibson, Mr. Elgutter and others denounced the schome as illezal una fr_udulent. Martin Was Happy. “This schome will be repudiated by the people of Omaha,” cried Mr. Elgutter. “When did we adopt a rule creating this new officer, foreman of repairst’ he de- manded, turning upon Mr. Martin, “About three minutes ago,’ replied Mr. Martin, blandly. *“Why hasn't this matter been referred to a committee?” inquirea Elgutter, as the per- spiration streamed down his fuce. “Hecause the board is suporior to a_com- mittee and can attend to the work better than u committee,’’ responded Mr. Martin, and then seong that tbe thing was all cut nd dried Mr. Elgutter gave up the fight. The motion to proceed with the election of the four officers named, embraciug also the creation of the now offico of foreman of re- pairs, was carried by a vote of eight to seven. 1t is only fair to say in this connectlon that Mr. Charles Wehrer voted in the afirmative on tho now deal. His fricnd Hummel was in 1t and, of coursa, Charlie couldn’t vote no. Result of the Ballot, When the ballots wers counted the result was announced as follows For secretary: Charles Conoyer, 8; Wil- lism Covurn, 3; Zimmerman, 2; Holbrook, 2. For insvector of buildings: C. A. Willits, Joo Hummel, 1; rest scuttering. Superintendent’ of repairs: Joseph Hum mel, 8; Mr. Hamilton, 3; rest scattering. r atvorney: 1. F. Baxter, 9; F. L. Mc- Lee Estelle, 1; rest scattering. Presigent Spalding then unnounced the election of Mr. Conoyer, Mr. Willits, Hum- meil and Mr. Baxter for the offices named. There was an expression of profound dis- gust at that moment enveloping tho foatures of the anti-Conoyer men, while the faces of the Conoyer faction glowed with manifesta- tions of supreme satisfaction. It was stated to Tur Ber: reporter that the way the six democrats on the board won the fight for Mr. Conoyer was by voting for Hummel as the price of Mr. Wehrer's vote and for Willits as the price of Coryell's vote, Secretary Conoyer appeared to cujoy the victory very much. The board then settled down %o routine work, Committees Tnstructed, The committee on heating and ventilation was nstructe. to open and tavulate the bids submitted for the heaung apparatus of tho Loavenworth school. Tbhe committeo on claims reported and recommended tho payment of current bills, amounting to #,551.02, which were ordered paid. The committeo on claims, through Mr, Morrison, also brought up the old claim of Bell aud Berlinghoft for superintonding the construction of the Kellom school building, amounting to $7%. The claim was referred 10 the committes on judiclary, Tho board also passed & resolution author- ing tho prosident and secretary to pay the 00" subscribed for Fourth of July celebra- tion, B Dow ol ed the Training Se Mr. Gibsor offered a resolution to briag tho teachers’ training school gradually to a close and discoutinue it. The resolution provided that all whobhad entered tke train- ing school should be permitted to finish tho two years’ course, but that no others bs ad- mitted, thus bringing the school to a close ut the ond of next year. Dr. Gibbs spoke against the resolution, Ho believed in tho practicability of the teachers’ training school. . “The resolution was passed by a vote of 11 to 2, Mr, Martin brought connection with the building of the West Omaba and Lothrop schools. It was @ communication from tno Builders and Traders Exchange which stated that the method adopted by the boara in advertising for bids for the erection of the West Omaba and Lothrop schools was_cou- trary to the rules of the Builders and Trad- ers ‘organization.

The wore important complaints are as foilows: Holmes and Smith, the owners of the brick block at 2405 N strect think an assessment of 5,000 too high and ask & re- duction to $3,000.
