Additional Approprintion Mud of Health Gets Nearc Corby Stre The long deferred committee on the mayor's Edward 8. Schurlg as city presented at the regular meeting of the city council last evening. The commltted recommended that the appointment firmed and the report was adopted, Whe and Edwards voting no with the that they did not know the candidate. The actlon taken at the previous meeting in giving property owners additional time in which to select material for the Corby straet paving was reconsidered on motion of How- ell, who stated that he was convinced that he had erred in his understanding of the committee report pres;~ted at the previous meeting. Wheeler and” Saunders submitted the records of the council and read the sec- tion of the charter to show the committee had erred in reporting that the property owners had not had the time prescribed by law. Saunders represented that while there was not a majority of feet frontage on the etition in favor of any material the plurality a8 over three to one In favor of asphalt, and that under the charter it w the duty the council to order the street paved with that material. The question was recommitted to the committee, which then presented a second Fpeport recommending that the contract be awarded for the material thi should be designated by the nrst petition submitted which represented a majority of the property owne This was also objected to on the ground that it was practically repeating the previous action unde different form. The Tesult was the same as before, and the re- port of the committee was adopted. The mayor's appointment of the following appraisers was confirmed: On grading Twenty-sixth street from Hickory strect to gouth line of Sculley’'s addition, F. M. Rich- ardson, W. R. Homan and R. W. Gibson; grading Seventeenth strect from Vinton to Castellar, W. G. Shriver, R. W. Gibson and F. M. Richardson. The bill of Charles Spoerl for killing un- tagged dogs during the month of Juiy amounted to $458. The amount being so Jarge it was referred for investigation. STREET SWEBPING FUND LOW. The claim of James Stephenson for street Bweeping during July, amounting to §2,747.16, was allowed. In this connection a commun- dcation from the B d of Public Works called attention to the condition of the curb, gutter and cleaning fund, from which these bills were paid. The statement of the comptroller showed that $3,519.83 remained in the fund July 21. Deducting the July bill a balance of only §772.67 remained in the fund. Under the provisions of the street sweeping contract the contractor was entitled to not less than 1,000 miles of sweeping per year at $17.47 per mile, or $17,990 per year. Including the July estimate the contractor been paid §9,375.85 this year, leaving a balance to which he would be entitled for the remainder of the 1,000 miles to be swept of $5,674.15. In view of hese facts the board asked for instructions rom the council. The communication was referred to the finance committee and the July bill was ordered to be taken out of the Foad fund. { A communication from the Board of Edu- cation offering to pay ene-haif the expense of lights on the High school ounds was tabled. This actlon was taken on the ground that it was the business of the board to pay for the lights if it wanted them and also that it had alrcady violated B similar agreement with the city. A request from the Barber Asphalt com- pany asking that the item of $2,250.68 in its favor be withdrawn from the pending ap- Propriation ordinance was promplly granted. \ The bid of Thomas Casey for feeding city prisoners for the next twelve months at 9 gents per meal was accepted. Bids for fur- hishing coal for the ensuing year were re- ferred for tabulation. Councilman Edwards was granted a onth’s leave of absence on account of sick- ess in his family. The question of granting licenses as hack @rivers to C. P. Keys and Charles Hag erty, which has hung fire in the coun or some weeks, was decided in the afirma- ive. The two men were originally refused icenses by Inspector Hurst on the strength of a report from a sergeant of police stating hat Haggerty was a disreputable character #ho had associated for years with the lowest grade of thieves and prostitutes and tiat Keys had been repeatedly fined for violations ©of the hack ordinance. A minority of the councll made a stubborn fight against in- gtructing the inspector to issue the licenses on account of the bad character of the ap- Plicants, but were overruled. The Board of Health was granted an ad- aitional appropriation of $3,500, with which to carry on the department for the balance of the year. The bond of Edward Schurig, with P. J. Karbach, E. P. Davis and George N. llicks as sureties, was approved, The following ordinances were passed: Amending section 90 of the building ordi- nance; ordering grading of Thirty-third street’ from Farnam to Dodge streets; July appropriation ordinance; grading portions of Lake and Thirtieth streets; changing curb lines of Seventeenth street from Ohio to Lo- cust street; establishing grades on Hickory and Thirty-second streets; levying special tax for grading alley in Courtland Place and numerous additional levy ordinan:es. of the judiciary appointment of port electrician was be con- ler explanatio Refused to Sign. At a meeting of the joint electric commit- tee yesterday afterncon Mr. S. L. Wiley and other officials of the New Thomson-Houston Blectric Light ppany appeared for the ostensible purpose of signing the coniract in accordance with their bid of $111.50 per lght, which was accepted by the council. The re yesentatives of the company Auilly refused to sign the contract, however, i account of the clause requiring them 0 come .n un- dor the general ordinance which pives to any other company the right te iay wires on their poles. L BURGLAR ESCAPES. Was Worklng on the Chain Gang While the Crime Was Unknown, The residence of B. H. Yoemans at Twenty-Ninth and Blondo streets was burg- larized of about $100 worth of jewelry last Sunday. Early Monday morning Officer Kel- Jy arrested two men named Hammond and , Londell, who were acting In a suspicious manuer and had been trylng to dispose of a valuable bracelet at a cheap price in the afternoon. The next day the men were given & short semtence by the police judg and yesterday they were put to work on the chain gang. Both of them tried to escape and Hammond succeeded in getting away from Special Officer Moore, who has charge of the city prisoners. While the men were out at work Mr. XYeomans reported the robbery and left a de- geription of the stolen property at the police station. He was shown the bracelet and readily identified it as part of the jewelry stolen from his residence on Sunday. The officers waited for the chain gang to be brought in from work and were then golng to serve warrants on Hammond and Londell | eharging them with burglagy. They were much Qisappointed when told that Hammond had escaped, as it is belleved that he is tho leader of a gang of thieves who have been working the residence portion of the city. The warrant was served on Londell and detectives are now looking for Ham- mond and 4 pal who has not yet been ar- Tested. Part of the jewelry has been re- covered. 'The officers are of the opinion that if the robbery had been reported o them at cnce they would now have the whole gang in jail and recovered all of the stolen goods. Stepdaughter Sues Administrators. Matilda Huebner has brought suit against the administrators of the estate of Carl thelr bondsmen to recover $1,000, which she claims was allowed her by the will of the deceased. She is a step- daughiter, and alleges that the administrators have refused to pay her the sum to which she s entitled by the will. ——— — The Boy t Sule Still On.

They Confess that Thoy Ars Old Hands at the Bu During all the spring and the early sum- mer Iver Johnson worked for a farmer re- siding near Sloan, Ia., saving up his money for the coming of a rainy day. He decided to come to Omaha to look for a job and upon arriving in the city about the first thing at he did was to run up against a br by which he lost ail of his money. . y afternoon Johnson was walking along lower Douglas when he was approached by a Swede, one of his own countrymen, who invited him into a neighboring saloon to enjoy a social glass of beer. The In- vitation was accepted and as the glasses were drained another Swede appearcd \upon thie scene and another round of beer was or- dered. As this disappeared the party who first met Johnson bet the newcomer that he could tuke dice and throw sixes every time. The bet was accepted, with §100 for the stakes. The throw was made and Johnson friend lost. Hunting through his pockets he discovered that he had but $85 and at once importuned the young man from lowa for a loan until he could go around to a bank and draw some cash. Johnson turned over the money and was told to remain in the saloon until the return trip from the bank was made. He waitel for several hours and then went to the police station, where he reported tie matter. He gave-the police a good description of the confidence men. Detectives Dunn and at work on the case. the bottoms and socon swering the description given them. They were placed under arrest and gave the names of Charles Wilson and William Carl sou. On the way to the station they agre to give the detectives the money which had been taken from Johnson if they would re- lease them. The men confessed that they fiad turned the trick and said thut if they had not robbed Johnson somebody else would. They claimed to be from Minneapolis and said that they had worked their “graft”:in that place good and strong, and when they were caught they squared matters with the police by dividing their spoils. At the station they acknowledged their guilt by of- fering to refund the money if Johnson would not appear against them. Judge Berka hap- pened to hear the conversation and the men will take their dose of justice from him this morning. The *con” men are unknown to the police, but it is believed that they are good men to have in jail. - Public Notice.

DYING BECAUSE UNAELE TO BUY BIEAD Too Proud to Ask for Help In a Single Handed Battle for Existence When Losing—Sent to Fannfe Campbell, who has been rooming at 302 North Thirteenth street for the past three weeks, was taken to the police station last night, after attempting suicide, as was reported, by taking about two ounces of chloroform. Dr. Towne was summoned and administered restoratives, after which the woman was taken to the Methodist hos- pltal. It was found that she did not taks the poison with suicidal intent, but to ease the pain, from which she was suffering in- tensely. This young woman has a sad history. Dr. Towne said that she was sick from a lack of food and proper nourishment, and if she had continued in her present condition for a short time she would have actually starved to death. He ordered that she be given small quantities of liquid nourfshment until she strong enough to parteke of solids. The woman is the divorced wife of an ex- i jer man named Flelds, and has been trying to earn her living as a clerk in one of the large dry goods establish- ments in this city since ghe and her hus- band separated. Her parents reside near At- kiuson, Neb., and she has a brother who is employed on' the staff of the Sioux City Journal. Her parents are just about able to support themselves, and, as they are getting old, she did not feel like imposing the addi- tional burden of her support upon them. About six weeks ago her health became so poor that she was compelled to give up her position and go home for a short time. She oon recovered and came back to Omaha. She again tried to secure employment, but taken sick in her room at Mrs. McGrew's house on Thirteenth and Davenport streets. Her funds were soon exhausted, and she has been dependent on the care of her landlady for several days. Mrs. McGrew had made ar- rangements for moving to lowa and had post- poned her removal as long as possibl> in hopes that Fannie would recover sufficiently to be able to go to work again. But the young woman continued to get worse and yesterday Mrs, McGrew applied at the police station for information. The county and ci physicians were summoned to attend the suf- forer and they decided to attempt to secure a place for her in one of the hospitals. Mrs, McGrew was referred to the county commis- sioners for assistance, but last evening she has been unable to secure their attention. The youns woman suffered so intensely with pains in the stomach that she begged for chloroform to ease the pain during the night. Some one sccured a 11 bottle of the drug for her, and, in her haste, she took too much of it and word was sent to the sta- tion that she had attempted to commit sui- cide, After making a thorough examination of the case Dr. Towne announced that she had starved herself almost to death, and that the best medicine she could have would ba rest and proper nourishment. The woman vemoved to the hospital in the police ambulance and was so weak that the motion of the wagon caused her to swoon, and she was in a semi-conseious condition when car- ried into the hospital, but she will now ro- celve the best of treatment. She requested that her brother be notificd and said that he would come to her assistance at once. She seems to be too proud to let any one know her true eondition, and it Is thought that be- cause she had no money she had secretly de- nied herself food enough to properly sustain life. Her parents will also be notified of he condition of their daughter, but she says that they only have enough to live on and she does not want to trouble them. got Don't Give Up the Ship.

The committee on men and discipline of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners held a meeting yesterday afternoon to in- quire into the charges made against Chlef of Police Seavey by committees from the Central Labor union and the Knights of Labor. These organizations filed charges and resolutions adopted by them with the board some time ago and demanded that the action of the chief in sending officers to the East Omaha bridge to meet Hogan's Montana division of the Commonweal army which was on its way down the river be investigated. The representatives of the Central Labor union claimed that the chief gave this order with malicious intent and without legal au- thority in hopes of making the army land on the Iowa side. Several members of the labor union were present at the meeting of the committee, as were the officers sent to carry out the order, and the chief. The palice officers testified that they were sent to the East Omaha bridge (o assist the army in locating a camping place, as they expected to remain in this city for a few days and did not want to trespass on public or private grounds, where they were not welcome The chief issued this order at the request of a man named Davis, who was the advance agent and solicitor for Hogan's men. The members of the Central Labor union then admitted that they had been misin- formed in the matter and that these reso- lutions did an injustice to the chief. They sald they would call the matter up at their next meeting and recommend that resolu- tions exonerating the chief be passed. The committee will submit its report in the mat- ter at the regular meeting next Monday night. e Clan Gordon. e s Ride on the steamer at Courtland.

For many years.the harmony that has pre- valled among the members of St. Joseph's Cathollc church, situated at Seventeenth and Center streets, has been the talk of the town. That harmony, however, no long r prevalls to any alarming extent, as the con- gregation has beon divided into factions, one arrayed against the other in a fight that has brought on blows, with the final round in the polic2 court of the city. Long years ago Peter Bugger united his fortunes with St. Joseph's church and since that time he has been regarded as one of the pillars of the institution, both from a spiritual and a fin 1 standpoint. All of the members of the family have been com- municants, attending with regularity, while his daughter, Victoria, has been one of the singers in the choir. She has a wonderfully sweet voice and a pleasant face, which two facts, coupled together, have made her a gen- eral favorite with pastor and peopls, and every Sunday for a long period of time she has occupled her place in the vicinity of the grand old pipe organ, thrilling the listencrs with her bird-like melodies. Somo months ago Mrs. Maggie Eberz was promoted to the position i organist and leader of the choir and since that date things have not been running so smoothly as they did before, though there never was an open rebellion until last Wednesday night, when blows were struck and a smail sized revolt was declared, all on account of a little singing that was being done at a choir practict On that particular night the weather was sweltering hot and several of the members of the choir were not in the best of humor. The anthems for the fol- lowing Sabbath had been practiced when the organist accused Miss Victorla of not doing her best. She went so far as to tell the young lady that her voice was a horrible disccrd, lacking the softness of a good singer and that if she did not do better she would be expelled from the choir. BATTERED WITH HYMNS, 1t there Is anything of which Miss Vic- toria Bugger Is sensitive, it is her sing- ing, and being thus addressed, she resented the imputation, declaring that she had been ginging in the choir for years, and that be- fore no person had ever questioned her ability. The organist declared that she knew whereof she spake, and that her word was law, and if it was not, she would lay the whole matter before the priest. It was ap- parent that there was trouble in sight, but quiet was restored and the practice con- tinucd, both of the ladies nursing their wrath, Finally the exercises were con- cluded, after which there were some more hot words, and all of the parties started to leave the church, As they were going down the steps, Mrs. Eberz took occasion to re- mark about the choir practice, when Miss Victoria up and told her that she did not ropose to practice three nights each week. his angered Mrs. Eberz and drawing back, she struck Miss Bugger a couple of times th a hymn book which she was carrying in lier hand. The young lady let out a cry of pain and started down the steps at a rate of speed seldom equaled and never excelled. Rushing to the home of her parents she found her father industriously trying to find a place where he could get away from the Kansas simoon, which was blowing that night. She told nim the tale of the Insuit and hastily draw- ing on a dressing gown and a pair of slip- pers, he started out to find Mrs. Eberz, meeting her at Sixteenth and Center streets, where he remarked: “So you are going to drive my davghter out of the choir.” Mrs. Eberz shot out a glanc notter than the south wind which was biow- ing from the burning sands of Kansas and straightening hersell up her full heighth, vered: “'You dirty old farmer."” This was too much for the head of the house of Bugger to stand without resenting and in no gentle tone of voice he responded: “We'll settle this mattter right now and here, provided you have no objections.” Mrs. Eberz was anxious for the fray and s0 informed Mr. Bugger. People who were returning from the chureh sued for peace, but both parties de- clared that there could be no peace until some person had apologized for the insults and the wron THIS WAS DISCORD. For a moment both man and woman glared at one another like a couple of Infuriated beasts, while those who were standing around trembled as they picturad the results of a man and a woman engaged in a fist fight when nothing worse than a discord in singing a church hymn was the issue. Tho glaring continued for a moment, and then Mr. Bugger closed in upon his prey. There was a short struggle, while the crowd watched and_prayed for the coming of a policeman. No officer came, however, and Mrs. Eberz broke away. In doing s0 Mr. Bugger seized her hymn book and threw it to the ground. This added fuel to the flames, und reaching out her right, Mrs. Eberz landed one beneath the eye of the head of the Bugger family. Instead of striking back, Mr. Bugger pushed the woman off the sidewalk, landing her In the gutter and spraining one of her fingers. At this point in the proceedings the spec- tators thought it time to interfere, and in doing so, they separated the two parties and marched them away to thir respectiv homes, where they swathed themselves in arnica’ and flannels during the remainder of the night Yesterday the case was called in the police court, where a dozen or more wit- nesses testified, detailing the circumstances as above stated, after which the court found Mr. Bugger guilty of an assault, fining him $14 and costs, besides administering a ture concerning the disgrace that attends fighting with women. ~ e Going to Burlington Beach next Saturday?

The general executive board of the Knights finished the business of this yesterday, and the members will enter the field agaln as establish new assemblies, A special committee appointed by the board last week made a report yes'erday, in which it alleges to have discovered that the newsdealers of Omaha are boycotting the Chicago Times. Another committee, consisting of Messrs. Kenney, French and McGuire, was appointed to visit the news- dealers and fequest them to ralse the boy- cott against the Times, and In case this Is refused the committee is instructed to or- ganize the newsboys and ask them to refuse to handle any Chicago papers unless they are allowed to sell the Times with the others Secretary Hayes left last evening for Chi- cago, and will represent the knights at the meeting of the American Railway unfon on August 2. Delegate Martin goes from here to Chicago, then into Ohio for about two weeks' work, and then to Baltimore to work in the state of Maryland for about six weeks. Delegate McGuire will remain in Omaha one week, organizing within the jurisdiction of District assembly No. 126, and will then visit Plattsmouth, Weeping Water, Lincoln, Nebraska City, Pawnee and Falls Cit From Falls City he will go to Kansas City to work for some time. Delegate French will visit South Sioux City, Stantom, Wayne, Madison and Ponca. He will then leave Nebraska and go tp Ka for several weeks, Delegate iney will spend con- siderable time in Nebraska and is now billed to visit Seward, York, Aurora, Grand Island Hastings, Kearney, Blair, Fremont, Platte Center, Columbus, Norfolk and Schuyler. One ‘of the most important things for Omaha done at this session was the action of the board in making this city an ‘“or- ganizing station” in the future. This makes Omaha one of the foremost labor organization centers in the country and will give this city considerable free advertising in organized labor circles. In consequence of this action the general executive board will employ one of the members of District as- sembly 126 by the year to put in his whole time organizing in Omala and in ad- Joining states. The local members are well Dleased with this action and several of the members are now in line to get the plum. The board has not yet decided who will be employed for this position, and may ask the district assembly to make a recommen- dation for the place. e e e To Cleanse the System.

Eaauu e S ) THE HAYDEN BOYCOTT, ot Labor now and slon organizers OMAHA, July 31.—To the The Bee:—Referring to Mr. communication in yesterday's If Mr. Sebring s not too ha will have mo reason to slighted. There has been more talk about this boycott than can easily be put in a single article. There was no intention of giving Julius Meyer credit for being the sole inventor of this great boycott enterprise. What was said was merely quoted from Mr. Meyer's confidential talks. Now do not un- derstand that Julius talked for publica- tion, nor have we any intention of repeat- ing all he said. It would not seem lke one of those little acts of kindpess so frequently mentioned by juvenile teachers. When Mr. Meyer talked most he scemed as brim full of this great undertaking as a boy of enteen is of quixotic notions. In fact, Mr. Meyer sald the newspapers were the great- est enemies of the boycott, and he intended to prosecute this boycott on the dead quiet and would never let up until Hayden Bros, aid a legitimate business. It is no more than fair to say that Mr. Meyer disclaimed any personal interest, as his house is doing a strictly wholesale businéss. It is possible that some people may not know the trade Editor o° Sebring's edition impatient fee! meaning of a ‘“iegitimate business,” and a single example will make it quite clear. A lady said in our music room the other day that she pald S0 cents for the same sheet music that our music de- partment is selling for 6 cents, and that is what is known as a ‘“legitimate” price, which is quite a genteel way of merchan- dising, and will encouage the working man’s little girl to be very careful of her sheet music— (iIf she has any). Mr. Sebring knows how innocent he was when Hayden asked him the cause of the boyeott. He did not know that Hayden Bros. sold penitentiary goods, and signed the boycott on general principles, or in other words, just for a fecler to see what effect it might have.

Paris Confidante, Comj a e this charming bit of French Art with the horrible and cumbrous oreations in horsehair with *squub” seat and gurden rollers for pillows. You will realize then what progress has been made in the last fow years. “Confidante” is the pretty name given to this small sofa by its French ances- tors. The word tells its own story. It is intended as a seat for two persons in etired or semi-private conversation. Such u pieco of furniture is surely need: ed in every drawing-room. With these Confidantes we are sup- plying a Lady's Easy € and Gontle- man's Arm Chair, making a dainty sot of three pieces, Th irs are of dif- ferent size, but each is constructed on the same lines as the sofa, having the back and sides in 4 semi-cirele. The design is full of beauty. Nothing could be more graceful than the loog sweep of the back with the curved legs and side arms. We price the whole set at the cost of an ordinury stuffed sofa. [t is an attractive purchase. Chas. Shiverick & Co. FURNITURE of Every Dosoriston Temporary Location, 1200 « MILLAKD HOTEL RY SCHOOL OF T iy B WEST.
