8 B A L A A e b M THE OMAHA DAILY I BEE: NO MORE SECRET SESSIONS | Majority of Fire and Police Board Pledged to Open Meetings, PLAN TO STOP UNLICENSED LIQUORSELLING Chief Seavey Instrocted to Make a Thorough Investigatic Resorts and Report- Denlal from Paid Fire- men's Assoclation Officers, Only three members of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners were present at its meeting last night. Accordingly they only transacted routine business, but Com missioner Strickler sprang a little surprise on the board by presenting the following resolution: Resolved, executive and that h ted in publi trickler requested that the considera the resolution be lald over until the ting or until a full board would be preser Commissioner Hartman seconded the resolution and said that he had prepared a similar_one which he intended to present when all the members were there. Mayor Bemis heartily woncurred in the resolution and wanted to put the matter to a vote at once. It was lald over for a woek. Then Mr. Strickler introduced the follow- fng resolution, which was lald over until the next meeting: Resolve 1t the chief of police be ar he Is hereby Instructed to Investigate ever assignation house and house of p tion in the city of Omaha for the pu of ascertaining which, If any, ‘of such house intoxicating liqu without a id he is further instructed to proprietors of all such hou rosecuted and to report to rd the result of such Investigation, cluding in his report the names and ad- dresses of the proprietors of such houses where a United States rnment license has been taken out for sale of intox feating liquors, A communication was ident Galligan, Secretary Hamsher, surer Salter, eleven directors and eigh- teen members of the Paid Firemen lent association, In which a genera was made of the charges filed against them a week ago. They denied that Chief Galli- gan used his authority as chief to further his own ends, and that Assistant Chief Salter prevented the members from holding a meeting during the absence of Chief Galli- gan. It was also denied that there had been any conspiracy to prevent the auditing of the books of the association. This com- munication set forth that the sclatic was incorporated and supported entirely by firemen, %o that the board of commissioners lad nothing to do with its affairs. The former eomplaint and this denial were re ferred to the committee on rules and regu- lations, with instructions to thoroughly in- vestigate the trouble and report at the next meeting. Strickler said that he was of the opinion that the board had no right to act in the matter, but Hartman thought that in order to avold a scandal and keep. the mat- ter out of the courts it would be well for the board to try to help the members settle the matter. Chief Seavey of the special committtee ap- pointed to investigate and rcport upon certain matters pertaining to charges made against the detective force was present, and reported that he had a transcript of the testimony given by Detective Haze and others in the Diamond gambling cases. Commissioner Co- burn, who Is chairman of this committee, was not present and the matter was laid over for a week with the request that the committee have a report ready at the next meeting. The protest of W. T. and Jesse White, who conduct a news and .book store, at 113 North Sixteenth street, against the cstablish ing of a saloon at 111 Narth Sixteenth stre:t, wils Taken up. Mr. White testified that Wil- liam Guill, manager for Cohen, who conducts a saloon at 1514 Dodge street, was going to move the saloon to 111 North Sixteenth street, and as this place had been conducted as a disreputable resort he alleged that it would seriously injure his news business. A number of wit- nesses were introduced to substantiate his allegations, but none of them were positive in their statements. Mr. Guill proved a good personal reputation and it was devel- oped that he conducted as orderly a saloon as usual. The board granted Guill permission to transfer his license and concluded that in- sufficient evidence had been adduced to show that he kept a disorderly resort. Fireman Cogan was granted ten days and OfMcer Burrows five days leave of absence. George Kelly, janitor of the Leavenworth street school, and 8. W. Wetmore, an em- ploye of Bennett Bros. were appointed as special policemen, Officer Kelly, who was Injured while ar- resting a man at Twenty-eighth and Far- nam streets and lost fourteen days from duty, and Officer M. Drummy, who was lald up six days from injuries received while chasing a suspicious character, ap- plled to the board for pay during thir en- forced absence from duty. The matter was referred to the proper committee, The people living in the vicinity of South Thirteenth street and Park Forest asked that they be granted better police protec- tion, The city councll notificd the board that until October 1 the city employes would be glven a half holiday on Saturday. Officers filed complaints against Moran's saloon at Sixteenth and Corby streets and Walter Brandes' at 1010 South Tenth street for violating the Sunday closing law. “The following letter to Chief Seavey from Sigmund Schlank was referred to the board: “On the 3d day of June next my daugh- ter's engagement party takes place. I have no other place to hold it except In my saloon, 602 South Ninth street. I would therefore ask your permission to hold the party in my saloon, pledging myself that no liquors will be sold by me therein, and that the room will be occupied only by my family and tmmediate friends.” The board granted the desired permission, and the happy announcement of the young lady's engagement will duly be made, e Rhoumatism Cured in Three Days. “I have been afllicted all winter with rheumatism in the back. At times it was 80 severe that I could not stand up atraight, but was drawn over on one side,” says George A, Mills of Lebanon, Conn. “I tried different remedles, but without relief, until about six weeks ago, when I bought a’ bottle of Chamberlain's Paln Balm. After using It for three duys, according to directions, my rhoumatism was gone, and has not re- turned since. I have since recommended it and given it to others, and know they have been benefited by its use.” For o by Aruggists. - On T, ) The sheriff was busy y day serving pa- pers upon the bondsmen of ex-State Treas- urer John E.

Sult Hegun to Determine South Omaha's Rank s a City. The members of the Taxpayers' league have gone into the district court for the purpose of determining whether South Omaha is a city of the first or the second class. To test this question the petition- s have secured a temporary restraining or- der from Judge Ferguson preventing the payment of the increased salaries to the city attorney, the city clerk and the city englnee The question will come up for hearing in the equity court on May 26, at which time the petitioners will contend that Mayor Johnston was elocted under the pro- visions of a charter that contemplated that South Omaha was a city of the second class, and that after his election he was instru- mental in putting in motion the machinery of a city of the first class. The suit in the district court is the final outcome of a fight that has been waged for some months in the council and in public meetings held by the citizens and the members of the league at South Omaha. Mrs. Rudiger and o Burglar, In the criminal section of the district court the case of the state against Danlel Baker is on trial. Baker is charged with burglary in this that he is alleged to have broken into the barn of W. C. Orr and stolen therefrom a number of sets of har- ness and a lot of other horse equipment. The witnesses are belng subpoenaed and next. Thursday morning the retrial of Mrs. Eloise Rudiger, charged with the murder of “Baron” Riser, will be held. The woman was tried at the February term of the dis- trict court, but after being cut for ninety hours the ‘members of the jury concluded that they could not agree, after which they were discharged and the prisoner was re- manded to the county jail without bonds, At the former trial the jury stood five for murder in the second degree, five for man- slaughter and two. for acquittal. Damages for Personal Injuries/ Walter Thackery has sued the Omaha Street Rallvay company in an action to re- cover the sum of $10,000 alleged damages. The plaintiff avers that on February 10, 1894, “he was doing some hauling along South Thirteenth street. As he reached Williams street he avers that there was a motor car bearing down upon him, and see- ing it he tried to pull off the track. He jhad about accomplished his purpose when he alleges that. carelessly the motor man run the car into his wagon, throwing him to the pavement, thus crushing one of his legs and bruising his body. Submitted at Last. The trial of the case of the Midland State bank against the school district of the city of Omaha has been finished ‘and all of the questions in fssue have been submitted to Judge Ferguson. The trial occupied nine days, during which time a vast amount of testimony was introduced. The suit grew out of the failure of Brayton & Donecken, contractors on the Hartman and Franklin school buildings, Flve Years for Shooting. Arch Smith, the young colored man who was convicted of shooting Reese Robinson with intent to kill, was before the judge of the criminal court yesterday, where he was sen- tenced to a term of five years In the peni- tentiary.

The citizens of South Omaha are anxious to have a park opened somewhere within a reasonable distance from their homes, where they can meet on Sunday and pass a few hours in the shade and listen to the music. As It now Is they either have to stay at home or make a long trip to Hans- com park. Those who are fortunate enough to have a carriage can make the drive very pleasantly, but those who have to go on the car find the trip a very tedious one. They are compelled to change cars once, and If they have children the jam on Sunday makes it more work than pleasure. Syndicate park is good enough for .the South Omaha people, they say, and an effort is now on foot to have the place thrown open for the summer on Sunday at least., A heavy prop- erty owner said: “If it is necessary I would be ‘in favor of the council paying a small rent for the park this summer. . But by rights the land company that owns the ground should throw their gates open free of charge. Nearly all the property sur- rounding the park was sold on the repre- sentation that the park would be thrown open to the public, but as soon as they sold all the lots they could, they fenced the place in and put a lock on the gate. It is a dis- grace that a city the size of South Omaha has no place where our people can go to enjoy an open alr concert and a basket plenic without leaving the corporate limits of the burg. Give us a park even if it costs the taxpayers a little rent. Republicans Will Orgavize. There will be a meeting of the republicans of South Omaha at Pivonka's hall on Wedn day at 8 p. m. for the purpose of making permanent the temporary organization of the republicans of South Omaba.

A gateway of the Columbian Fair, the wonderful Peristyle, was one of the most marvelous of all architectural productions. It will not profit us as a people to hurry on 50 fast to other and smaller things, and so to forget the unexampled triumphs at Chi- cago in 1893, Let us look, then, for a moment at the ab- stract figures of this famous Peristyle, not 0 long as Bernini’s colonades at Rome, but vastly more Titanic. It was a line of lofty arches, 500 feet long and 150 feet. high, run- ning from the Casino to the Music Hall, fac- ing the lake on one side and the Court of Honor on the other (and what an environ- ment!), with broad promenades between its gigantic pillars and upon the high, uplifted roof. Along its top eighty-elght allegorial statues, of herolc proportions, broke the azure sky-line; and in the center crowning a still loftier triumphal arch, rose the vast group representing Columbus riding in a chariot, whose four prancing horses are led by noble and powerful female figures, their light drapery blowing in the wind. This mighty tableau of statuary represented the great admiral in the triumphal feasts given in his honor, after his return to Spain; and the firm and proud expression of the discov- erer is perfectly shown forth as he leans lightly upon his jeweled sword, with head thrown back in_heroic poise. The designers were D. C. French and E. C. Potter, two of our foremost Americans in the fleld of sculpture, and the success of their daring conception was attested by millions of ob- servers, It Is the thrilling descriptions of the plan- ning and construction of such works as the Peristyle and their matchless pictures, which give a perennial charm to the new “‘Book of the Builders,” whose writing has just been finished by Directors (Burnham and Millet, who together know more about the fair than any other two:men: With its usual vigilant sollcitude for the -welfare of its subscribers and readers, The Bee has incurred a great outlay to secure the making of a splendid popular edition of this book, as a premium for its patrons. It- is very important to bear in mind that this edition is not a cheap revamping of an old book, condensed and made over to favor the presont time demand for premiums. It is appearing in sections, step by step, in advance of the Edition de Luxe of the same work, and is itself very carefully written by Directors Burnham and Millet, so that all the essential and interest- ing features are preserved, as well as the cholcest pictures. It is at once the newest, the most beautiful and the most complete and authentic story of the fair that has yet appeared, or that will appear. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures ulcers.
