AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA! Centention Over a Grade in Which Taxpayers Are Interested. PROPERTY OWNERS ON THE WARPATH The Q Street Grade Not Satisfactory— Market for Doad Animals—Attorneys Go After the Justice Miils—Saloon Men Disturbed—City Gossip, Engineer King's office, in the Pivonka block, was too small to hold ail the Q street property owners who congregated there Wednesday night to protest in favor of get- ting o grade that would suit them. Three weeks ago, wheu the city engineer was in Chicago, his assistant went over on Q street and et stakes, indicating that the grade would be established accordingly After dir. King returned he discovered that Mr. McBride had made & e and sent A man over to ange the stakes. The property owners should ve, acry of un up that cou heard for blocks. The matter was ¢ into the city council, and for the last two meetings uii the property owners on Q from Seventecnth to Twentieth strects attended. Those living on top of the hill say thacut is too great, and those down in the hollow are also dissatisfied. The city engi- fully looked into the matter and hed what he considers will be fair for all hunds, The ordinance has been read second time and will probably be passed next Monday night. The meeting held in Mr. King's office Wed- nesday night was to ive all a chance to get togother and attempt to agree on a certuin grade, but no agreement could be reached and the property owners will be given a chance to aiv their grievances in open ses- sion of the council at its next session. The property owners have rotained lawyers to present their sides and o hot discussion is expected when the matter comes up agaiv. SUMT Market for Doad Animals. The ordinane regulating the hauling or removal of dead animals withinor through the city limits, which was introduced and passed at the last meeting of the council,has not t been signed by the mayorand it would not be much of a surprise if the docu- ment was returned on Monday night with his honor's veto attached. it is claimed that the ordinance was intro- duced in the mterests of the Union Rende: ing company. Until recently this compa has had & monopoly on the rendering busi- ness down here, but since competition has come in the price of dead animals has taken an upward shoot and if the war goes much farther the stuff will be worth as much deud as alive, Just how the ordinance can be of any great benefit to the Union Render- ing company is not clear. The principal section reads as follows: - *“Ihat any person or persons other than the city scavenger are hereby prohibited from hauling or causing to be hauled'or con- veyed within or through the corporate limits of South Omaha, Neb., any dead animals, except such as have died or are found dead in the public streets or alleys.” Any viola- tion is deemed a misaemeanor. Under the old system any person who bought the dead stuff could haul it away. Under the new ordinance, if it _is passed, all the company will have to'do will be to depu- ize their téamster as a garbage man and hig'road will be clear. Any one can do this. I'he Union Rendering works is owned by rk‘l'sons connected with some of the packing housces, and the whole thing looks like a fight between the two rendering companies, In the meantime the commission men who have tho dead stuff to sell are quictly sitting by anxiously waiting for the price of dead ani- mals to keep on climbing up, not caring whether the dead animal ordinance passes or not. . Aftor the Justice Shops. The attorneys of South Omaha metWednes- day night in the office of Adams & Bell and organized what will be known in the future s the South Omaha Bar association. H. G. Bell was chosen president and H. Z. Wedge- Wo0d, secreta The object is in substance to further the incerests of the attorneys here and in the course of time it is expected that some hot accusations will be made. It is claimed by attorneys that they are not given a fair shake down in certain justice courts, and this organization will demand a reform. The committee on credentials is composed of Attorneys Sutton, Iidgerton and Howe, Attorneys Van Dusen, Sutton and Bell were appointed 1 commistee to in- form the Douglas County Bar association of thew organization, Tho following was unanimously adopted: Whereas, It has come to the knowledge of the members of the South Omaha Bar usso- clation that certain justices of the peuce of Douglas county have made it a practice of referrving litignnts to particular attorneys and to favor them in suits; and Wheveas, [t is also known that said jus- tices of the peace have been in the habit of talking bills for colection, and upon being unable to colleet the sume, have brought suits before themselves; therefore, be it Resolved, That this bar association con- demns such practice as unjust, unfawr and aguinst the practice of the la Resolved, That such practice brings dis- respect on the courts :\lll;. in facs, prejudices and jeopardizes the rights and property of litigants; a Iesolved, That it is thesense of this meet- Ing that unless such practices stop we be- lieve that a rigid iuvestigation should bo made and impeachment proceedings com- menced if the tacts warrant, The resolutions are signed by a majority of he practicing attorueys here, Satoon Men Disturbed, The saloon men of South Omaba are not tickled 1o death over the prospect of a little war being started on their business just at the present time, On election day a number of saloons were found to be quietly dis- pansing booze by the energetic police and four of them were placed under arrest, con- vioted and fined. At the last meeting of the council the matter was brought up and it was recommended that o thorough investi- ation be made by the license committee and f it was found thut the men convicted had willfully violated the law on the day in estion, that steps be taken to revoke their pective license he license committee metWednesday night aad discussed the matter for some time, It is uot belioved that these licenses will be re- voked at present, but it has caused a sharp censure from the anti-saloon members who wore constrained to be lenient, The order hus gone forth that all saloons must closo sburply av midmght, and the saloon men fear that this will be followed by an order to elose on Sunday, Under the present system the side and back doors are kept open on Sunday, and now that Omaha is closed on that day it hus made business in the weu goods line much livelier than it has been for some time. There has been no complaint agamnst the saloons being disorderly on Sun- duy us yot.

SIMS’ ADDRESS, Chnutauqua College Entertalned by the Eloguent Divine, At the regular meeting of the Chautauqua college of the First Methodist church last evening the members had the pleasure of listemng to a very intercstng address by Rev. C. N. Sims, D.D., of Indianapolis. Dr. Sims has beér until recently the chancellor of the Syracuse univorsity, of Syracuse, N. Y., and is considered one of the most able of the Methodist divines, In his address last evening the speaker discussed “‘Cava- liers and Puritan: The Cavalier repre- sented the aristocracy of the English people, the Puritans comprised the simpler clements of the ra He dwelt upon the rivalry be- tween the two elements, which had con- tinued until thoe latter had become the dominant chavacteristic of the race. The Puritan maintained his individual opinions against parliaments, hierarchics and kings. He would allow no man to dic- tate the tenets oi his faith, but stood for his right to iuterpret the bible for himself, ana rather than surrender his own individ he would endure all manner of persecutio ‘These characteristics had implanted them selyes in all the institutions of this countrv aud found expression in all phuses of our national life. The American people were remarkable for their contempt for the rec ords of the past. There is but little of ven- oration or reverence in their makeup, Not a half dozen monuments remained to mark the battlefields of the revolution. The ex- president of the United States was called rrison. aad tho present incumbent of the highest office in the gift of the Amer- ican peoplo was generally referred to ns rover.” There was less attention paid to rental authority the United States than in any covntry in the world. According to thé opinion of the speaker, one of the best results of the influence of the Puritian characteristics was the doc- trive of “‘man equality” that was universal in this country. There was no station to which any man might not aspire, and any woman might become the first lady ot the nation. Iv had been said that Queen Vi toria could find nothing in her own life or nature which was in common with her sub- jects. She had been addressed by titles all herlifeand had been reared in a world apart from the great majority of her people. In America all this was different, and if the hired girl was alluded toas a servant she would leaye the same day, Out of these conditions had grown the in- dependenco which made us feel that we were a8 good a8 any one as long ns we be- haved ourselves. It was to this that we owed much of the development of our re- sources, With an American the measure of his manhood was his manliness, and not his class, S ——— DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures burns e Pentovostal Services, The first of a series of Pentecostal meot- ings under the divection of the Omaha Miu- isterial union was beld at the Young Men's Christian association rooms yesterday after- noon, There was a gratifying attendance of ministers and luym The exercises wero opencd with a prayer service of ten minutes, which was conducted by Rev, T, S, Webster, A brief discussion followea, after which those preseut listened to a number of short addresses on various branches of the subject. *“The Place of Pentecost” dis- cussed by Rev.

Yesterday morning the three vagrauts, Daley, Morris and Brennan, were ovach given ten days hard work on the street gang.
