A bill of 6 for laying water pipes to the Madison avenue school was preseated.

The committee on buildings and grounds was ordered to have permanent water pipes laid into the busement of the Madison ave- nue building.

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS | Lively Dash Across the Bridge Between Two Minions of the Law. RACING FOR SHERIFFS A PRISONER Reeder, the Alleged Assallant of Policeman Wyatt, Habeased Oat of One Sherifls Clutel to Fall Tuto Another’ ~Mot Race for the I* People who happened to be upon the streets of Omaha shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning stopped on tho curbstone to watch a hack that was tearing wildly down Farnam street and then over to the Omaha and Council Bluffs waeon bridge, with the driver plying the lash and two men on the inside of the vehicle bouncing around like a couple of rub- ber balls. Those who were watching the course of the hack had an wdea that it was a irate father was in hot pursuit of some daughter who had slid out from under the protection of the paternal roof. While the crowd was speculating, and 4 moment after the passing of the hack, a tall man slid down the cop- ing that surrounds the court house grounds and took up the chase, striking a gait that made the most accomplished sprinter turn on with envy. Wagons, pedestrians and_ private rigs got out of the way that the chasee and chaser might have a clear ura between Sheriff Ha county, lowa, and Sherif Bennett of this county, and A man, one who has been hung up as a fugitive from Towa just the prize for which the two ofticials were con- tending. Cause of the Ruce, The race came on in this wa, One week ago last Sunday night there was a row at one of the salonns at the cast end of the Cut-Off lake bridge, which resulted inone man being shot and two or three stabbed. Ofcer Wyatt, a Council Bluffs policoman who at- tempted to quell a row, wuas cut upina shocking manner. At the time all of the ailants escaped, but the following day John Reeder, alias “Scotty,” a motor conductor, was arvested and identified: as being the man who was handy with the knife and the party who did the most of the cutting. The crime having been committed on Jowa soil, the Council Bluffs authorities were anxious to take their man to that city for trial, but Reeder did not want to go and atonce got behind the fuct that he was a resident of Nebraska, declaring that he would not trust his interests to the courts of the prohibition state. He employed an at- torney and since that time he has been habeas corpused neariy to death, going in and out of jail at a rate of spoed that was simply astonishing. Yesterday morning he landed in Judgze Keysor's court, where his attorney contended that he was illezally held and that there was nothing for the court to do but to grant a clean bill. Mr. Mahoney, who appeared for Reeder, argued that the warrant issued by the police judge of this city was illegal and void for the reason that if dny crime had been committed it was not commtted in Nebraska, and consequently the courts of this state were without juris- diction. Assistant County Attorney Sla- baugh. who appeared for tho state, agreed with Mr. Mahoney, but he thought th shoutd be held until the Iowa oficers chance, Hazen's Diptomacey, During all of this time Sheri® Ha the Council Bluffs baliwick occupied in the lobby, carefully fingering which he had secured from the ernors of the two states, authort take Mr. Reeder to the other side of the river as soon as the opportunity bresented itself. but he did not have to wait long, for the opportunity was near it hand. As the contending attorneys agreed to the same state of facts, nothing remained but to declare the habeas corpus procecdings off for the time being, at least. ‘That scttled the matter und mMr. Mahoney and his client left the building, closely followed by the Towa sheriff. Down the long stone steps the little party wended its way and out into the street it went. As soon as the ond of the county block had been reached, Sheriff Hazen calied a halt, telling Reeder that he would be pleased to interview him for a moment, as he had an important communication to ¢om- municate. While the halt was in force, the requisition, bearing the great seals of the states of lowa and Nebraska, was flashed in the air and passed into the hands of Attorney Mahone, who at once demanded a copy, thus secking to save a lit- tle time, Sherif Hazen replied that he would bo only too glad to furnish the copy, but that his duties in lowa prevented him from taking the time to do the trauscribing just then, but to accommodate everybody ho would go back to the court house. All of the men climbed the steps again, Mahoney going up at a speed that would have winded a fat man in short order, but when Hazen hed the first landing he changed his mind and concluded that he would talk with Mr. Mahoney some other day, and at a time when his business was less pressing. Mahouey Was Not in It, By this time Mr. Mahoney was on ha with another writ of habeas corpus, which he nad secured from Judge Keysor, restrain- ing Sherifft Hazen from taking Reeder from the jurisdiction of the Douglas county court: ‘This document was turned over to Sheriff Bennett and then the race com- menced. Bennett flew down the steps of the court house and out onto Farnam street just in time to see Hazen bundle his man into ack that stood in front of the Paxton and t lightoing speed. ed and the chaser neared the bridge Bennett wus a couple of laps behind, but he was too far in the rear to take the pole, and as the dividing line between tho two States was reached Huzen passed over, pulled up his horses, turned around and fa o geatle tone of voice called out to the Doug- las county ofticial, “George, come over and have a smile with me.” Bennett admitted that he had bean out- clussed in a fair and square race and for once refused to accept the hospitalities of his brother ofticer.

Report of the City Attorney to the Councit on the Subject, Alderman White's little 3-cont fare ordi- nance had its inning at the city council meet- ing last evening, and with City Attorney Hazelton as umpire knocked the ball over the fence. In this case, however, the old rule of “over the fence is out,” didn't apply All the members excepting (eise were pre- sent and Mayor Lawrence occupied the presiding oficer's chair. A little flurry of excitement was caused by the announcement that the city attorney had filed the report he was requested about two months ago to make upon the question of the legality of any legisiation that the city council mizht make, reducing the fare on the motor iine within the city limits. The opinion was quite long and exhaustive, bu in substance it read as follows: ty Attorney's Opinton.

It is inflicted with very great severity, frequently so as to render the sufferer almost a evipple for life. The yietim is thrown upon his face, each foot is passed through a loup of strong attached to a pole, which is raised horizontally by men, who, twisting it around, tighten the ropes and render the feet imumovable, Two executioners then strike the soles alternately with switches of the pomegranate trde, well steeped in water to render them supple.

Some extraordinary experiments are veported from Berlin of the explosive which is to replace the powder at pres- ent in use in the German army. The new explosive is a greasy substance of a brown color, of the consistency of olive oil. It does not explode by blows or shocks and if thrown on the fire burns slowly with a bluish flame. It only ex- plodes by the introduction of a certain substance which is the secret of the in- ventor. The report is not very loud, but the ballistic effect is said to be nine times that of powder.

The dryness of the air and the strong heat of the after- noon sun cause a vapid evaporation from the brooks, springs, and the snow banks on the mountain sides, and this moisture, vising on the warmer air, condenses as it reaches cooler, thinner atmosphere about the mountain top.

For inany months there has existed a con troversy between the two boards as tothe sanitary conditions that exist whera the Smead and Fullor & Warren systems of d closets are in use. In the Kellom and Lothrop schools these systems are in use, although the Board of Health has issued orders to the e €6 that they should not be put in and thut such action was a direct violation of the ordinances of the city. The members of the school board have con- tended that the dry closets are sanitary i every particular and have refused to recede from their position, and instead ha tracted for the system to be placed in the several new buildings. During all this time the Board of Health, through Commissioner Somers, been warning the members of the board and given orders for a stric pliance with the ordinance of the city in putting in a system of closots, General Debnte on the Subject, Mr. Baxter and Mr. Latenser wero present yesterday at the meeting of the board to present the caso from the standpoint of the school board. Proceedings were started by Dr. Somers bringlug up the question. Then followed a discy m that continued for more thun two hours. Everybody took a nd, and it grow decidedly warm and in- teresting at times, Dr. Somers stated that he had complied with the justructions of the board to enforce the provisions of the city ordinances go ing sewer and water conncetions for s. TheLathrop school has been com- pleted with a dry closot system in direct violation of the ordinances, and Plumbing Inspector Duncan had refused to ac- cept the same. Dr. Somers also stated that he had ordered the same removed, He read reports upon the dry closet systems from the State Board of Health of Michigan, superintendent of schools of Baneroft, Mich., Prof. V. ¢, Vaughan, member of the Stato Board of Health of Michigan, all declaring the system dangerous and unsanitary. Also the report of the state board of Massachusetts, showing an ep- idemic of dipatherin at Wooster in December 11, 1802, traceable to the existence of the dry closets in the schools, A letter from Thomas th, inspector of plumbing of Cleveland, O., was read. The letter contained the following: “Thedry closct has been condemned by the present sehool council and the former health ofticer, and none are now allowed in the new school building. The smead people themselve: virtually confessed t they are a failure by replacing this system with the water carriage system, at theirown expense, inone of our school buildings and several factories. This I know to be a fact, The dry closet system, whet piaced within a building, is o damnable piece of work, and should never be tolerated by your people.” Dr. Somers then explained that it had come to a show down as to whether the board should enforce the laws of the city and compel the Board of Education to put the Kellom and Lathrop schools in sanitary con- dition by taking out the dry closels, or whether matters are to take their own course. Mr. Latenser said he thought the school board would be satisfied to_burn the ecre- ment as frequently as the health board de- manded, He made a lengthy speech uphold- iug the dry system and pronounced it sani- tary and 4 modern success, Attorney Baxte choed Mr. Latenser's views and said that the Board of Education would not consent to removing the dry closets so long as there existed a possibility made sanitary by ary precaution and regulations, Mayor Bemis Takes a Hand. v Bemis, who had listened o all that had been said, took a hund in the discussion. He said that in his opinion it was about time for the city rov- crnment to wake up and ascertain whether the Smead and Fuller & War- ren companics were to run this mu- nicipality. Ihe event at South Omaha, coupled * with the struggle between tho two compames here had nearly convince him that the companies were exercising alto- gether 100 much influence with the com- munity, and it is about time to call a halt. “The mityor opined that there was an abund- ance of evidence to show that the closcts were mot what they should be, and that it was a direct viola- tion of the ordinances of the city to put them in operation. He was opposed to showing any favoritism, and so long as in- dividuals were not permitted to exercise that right he did not believe it should be granted to the Board of Education. He wauted an understanding arrived at and to ascertain whether the board intended trampling the laws of the city under its feet. , Latenser intimated that the reports ising the dry closet systems, where the & Warren was mentioned, might be the result of the application of coi of the realm by either company intercsted, Again he defended the system and said it was perfectly sunitary.
