HAMILTON’S 412 - BROADWAY FARM LOANS and lowa dam 12¢ Main St., C By Save Your Money:;=:s | atreet,” MOTOR COMPANY CALLED OFF Ita Effort to Bneak a Btreet Blocked by Mayor Jennings. PERMISSION NOT GRANTED BY COUNCIL Attempt Undes the Cover of the Su- burban Company's Franchine, but the Deal Wi Just the Same The motor company commenced yester dav afternoon to lay its second track on South Main street, south of the Burling- ton crossing and was promptly stopped by Mayor Jennings. The mayor notified Gen- eral Manager Dimmock that the work could not proceed until the sanction of the city council had been secured. He called Manager Dimmock's attention to the fact that the request of the motor company to lay a double track on this street had been laid on the table and no action ever taken on it. Until the council gives its consent, no work can be done by the motor com- pany on that or any other street as far a: Inying a second track is concerned. Manager Dimmock Informed the mayor that the work is not being done by the motor company, but by the Suburban com- panv, and that it has a right to lay & track on South Main street under its fran chise which the peaple voted in December, 1867, The mavor refused to let the work vroceed, gIving as his reason, that even it it was the Suburban company that was lay- | ine the track. it has no right to do so un- til It has paid Into the city treasury an amount to cover the original cost of the paving on that portion of the street. “That money, amounting to close upon $5.000, was pald to the city the night we aoolied to lay a second track on this sald Manager Dimmock. “The old motor company handed in its check for the amount, I admit,” answered Mayor Jennings, “but I have no recollec- tion oi the Suburban company paying in anvthine.” Then the mayor proceeded to cxplain to Mr. Dimmock that he could not recognize the payment by the old motor company as being for the Suburban company, and they adfourned ‘o Attorney Wright's office to talk the matter over. Mayor Jennings explained his under- standing of the situation and Attorney Wright admitted there might ' be some technical question as to the payment of the cost of the paving, but that the matter ould readily be arranged, he thought, After a lengthy conference, it was finally agreed by the motor company to stop the work until after the meeting of the city couneil Thursday night. At that time the motor company will withdraw its check denosited on the Main street paving, assign it to the Suburbap company and again vresent it in behalf of the latter corpora- tion, MATTERS IN THE DISTRICT COURT, n Land Com- dvisement. The arguments in the suit of E. W. Nash against the Unlon Land and Improvement company, John W. Paul and others were completed and the case submitted to the court yesterday aftercoon. Judge Macy took his decision under advisement and stated he would band it down In a few days. In making the record entry for the day Judge Macy took occasion to remark that he did not think the plaintift had es- tablished his claim that the several judg- ments against the company had been ob- tained through fraud and colluston and that practically the only question left to was pald up or not. The result of the suit 1s being watched with more than ordinary interest, as it is one out of the common run. Creditors of the defunct Union Land and Improvement company who have secured judg- ments which they have been unable to satisfy brought sults in the district court here to recover from Nash, alleging that he sutscribed for $100,- 000 worth of stock and only pald up $30,000, leaving him indebted to the company in the sum of $70,000. Nash, on the other hand, alloges tbat these jucgments were ob- tafned by fraud and collusion for the ex- press purpose of trying to hold him llable, and the suit at bar is to restrain these creditors and others from further involving him in litigation in this connection. Arguments in the suit of Dr. O. C. Rogers against Sam Friedman, a pawnbroker of this city, sppealed from the court of Jus- tice Ferrler, were submitted and the case taken under advisement by Judge Macy yesterday. A case of surgical instruments were stoleu from Dr. Rogers and pawned by the thief with Friedman. The police located the goods and on their advice Dr Rodgers agreed to refund Friedman the amount he had loaned on them. Several weeks, it 1s alleged by Friedman, passed by without his hearing from Dr. Rodgers and ho finally sold the instruments. A few days after the sale Dr. Rodgers called for the case and when he learmed that the pawnbroker had sold them brought replevin proceedings in Justice Ferrier's court, where he secured a judgment against Fried- man for their value. Friedman appealed, contending that as he was not in posses- slon they could mot be replevined Judge Green sent word yesterday to Clerk Reed of the dlstrict court that he would convene the November term, empanel the Jury and make an assignment of causes Wednesday afternoon, November 7, at 3:30 o'clock. The regular date for the opening of the November term {8 Tuesday, the 6th. Domestic soap has no equal. Work on Paving. Work on the Washington avenue paving is proceeding rapidly despite the unfavor- able weather. The top course of Des Motnes brick has been laid for nearly two blocks and the lower course of home- made brick is down for a distance of over three blocks. Owing to the rain it was found impousible to spread the surfacing sand yesterday On Tenth avenue the paving has come to & standstill, awaiting the decision of the Unlon Pacific as to changing the grade of Its tracks. The motor company fs pushing its work on Broadway ahead and Contractor Wick- ham expects to be able in & few days to commence laylog the concrete base for the brick It 18 still ussettled whether this portion of the street will be paved with Des Molnes or Galesburg brick. The Des Molnes brick recelved so far is con- sidered (o be the finest ever used in this eity. It is of a very dark color, ap- parently as hard as fiint and very heavy It 1s expected that as woon as the motor company fixes its tracks om Plerce street between First and Stutsman streets paving will be commenced there. Contractor Wickham also expects to pave Fourth street before the snow flies. Objects te the Ansessment. Dr. W. L. Patton filed yesterday with the SAVINGS, LOAN AND BUILDING ASFN, elty clerk objections to the a ment egaiast his property for the pavisg of | not appear ¢ to | quolda was whethor (Ne stook BAld By Nash | ., biisan Deadauarters, cornsr of Sguth North Main street. He owns two lots on the east side of the street, the assessment against which is $434.16, it paid in cash, or $466.34 1f paid in certificates. The alle tion Is made that the assessment is fllegal and vold for several reasons, one being that the cost of the paving of the fnter sections has been assessed to the abutting and adjacent property, also the incidental expenses connected with the work, such as advertising, ;vrq»nr(nx the plats, Inspec- tion, ete. Dr. Patton claims that $63.69 has been assessed up against his lots for the inter- section paving. He also asserts that the benefit derived by his property from the improvement does not exceed $50 and that its value has not been increased by reason of the paving. This is the first objection raised to the assessment. CREDITORS T0 ACT IN CONCERT, Meeting at Stewart’s Office Selects a Committee to Outline & Plan, Although the meeting of creditors of Officer & Pusey’s bank held yesterday after- noon in the office of Attorney J. J. Stewart was originally only intended for a number of Mr. Stewart's clients, the publicity glven it brought together nearly 100 per- eons who bave money tied up in the in- stitution Mr. Stewart presided and explained that the meeting had been intended to be a private one, but that everyone present was at liberty to express his opinions and make any suggestions he desired. He stated that the object of the meeting was not in any way (0 harrass the receivers, but several of the creditors bolieved that with co-oprea- tion their interests could be better looked aft Atter the situation had been more or less freely discussed, the following execu- tive committes was appointed to formulate a plan of action: J. J. Stewart, chairman, H. Ouren, 8. G. Underwood, J. R. McPher- son, J. K. Cooper. This committee I8 to report at a meeting to be called in the near tuture, The question of taking the matter of the liquidation of the bank's business into | the United States district court under bank- ruptey proceedings was discussed, but did to meet with favor & num- ber of those present. The suggestion was made that the distriet court be asked to appoint other receivers in place of the pres- ent ones, but this was qulckly voted down and the decision reached to leave the matter of forming a plan of action with the executive committee, Aside from what transpired at the meet- ing In J. J. Stewart’s office, there was con- elderabie talk among the creditors of the bank of applying to the court for the ap- poi=tment of new recelvers. Those favor- ing this action do not wish to be construed a8 having for one moment any doubts as to the integrity of the present receivers, but they express the opinion that Mr. Bere- sheim’s connection with the Council Bluffs Savings bank naturally engages the major portion of his time, and that with a re- celver not thus engaged the affairs of the firm could be more quickly liquidated. With regard to Receiver Murphy, it is contended, that owing to his intimate connection with the suspended institution as confidential bookkeeper for so many years, it might have been better had a disinterested person been appolated in his stead. The claims filed against the bank yester- day with the clerk of the district court aggregated about $1,600. T. A. Kirkwood, clerk of Crescent iown- ship has on deposit in the bank $152.08, of the township funds and he yesterday filed A petition in the district court asking that it be declared a preferred clalm and the recaivers ordered to at once pay him the money as & trust fund, All grocers sell Domestic soap.

There will be a meeting this evening at Main street and First avenue, of voters |who cast their ballots in 1856 for Johm C. Fremont. Hon. J. W. Blanchard, one of the ploneer republicans of this section of the state, who voted for Fremont, will be the principal speaker of the evening. There will be good music and all old voters are cordially invited to be present. The rally tonight in the First precinct of the First ward will be held in Wheeler & Hereld's bullding, corner of Broadway and Benton streets. The speakers will be Clem F. Kimball and John Galvin. The McKinley guards and the Colored March- ing club will be present in full force. The demand for the plctures of McKin- ley and Roosevelt has already exhausted the supply. Over G500 coples were given out yesterday at the offices of National Committeeman Hart and County Chairman Wright. A fresh supply will be secured as soon as possible. The large number of McKinley plctures displayed in the win- dows in the residence portions of the city is glving the democrats something to think about. National Bank Deposits. The report of the commercial committee presented to the city council Monday night contained the report of the comptroller ot the currency of September 5, 1900, which showed that the First National bank of this city had the sccond largest amount of deposits of any national bank in the state.

Emerson will speak at the opera house here Thursday evening in reply to a speech made by Senator Emmert last Sat- urday evening The semator devoted his whole attention to the Philippine ques- tlon and severely arraigned the admins- tration for its policy, accusing it of bad falth in bringing on & war of conquest. Mr. Emerson was a member of the Fifty- first Towa and drawing upon his personal experiences {s expeoted to refute all the arguments of Senator Emmert, i NEW CONGRESSMEN IN SIGHT Towa Will Probably Bend Two More Men to Washington. STATE SHOWS GOOD GROWTH IN TEN YEARS Former Consul to Porto Rico Phil of the Comditio: ug on the Island, DES MOINES, Oct. 30,—(Special Tele- gram.)—A Washington special says: The population of Iowa has just been an- nounced and it s 2,251,899. The increase of 330,630 population for the state of Iowa for the ten years just passed will give the state two new congresemen. If the b of representation remains about the same. Should it be increased to 240,000, has been suggested by some, then the state will only receive one additional congressma making twelve altogether, C composed of 357 members, and should the number remain the same In the next con- gress elected on a changed representation it 1 more than probable that Iowa will recelve two additional member: The cen- Aus of 1895, taken by the state, indieated three districts in the state having more than 200,000 population. They were the Third, Tenth d REleventh. In the ad- Justment which will follow the reappor- tlonment of the state it is more than prob- able that the Tenth and Eleventh districts instead of having two members will have three from the three districts made out of the two. The Second and Third dis- tricts in 1895 had 290,000 population and it is more than likely that the population of the two districts has increased sufficlently to entitle it to another congressman. Hon. Phil Hanna, the Iowa man who was consul to Porto Rico when the Span- ish war broke out, and who was run out of San Juan and sought refuge at 8t Thomas, was in Des Moines today and told a story of hairbreadth escapes. Hanna says that reports of the dismal condition of things now existing on the island are due to an frate newspaper man who was sore at the American administration be- cause of having been thrown Into jail at their hands. He draws a vivid picture of the Porto Rico children going every day to school in their spotless white linen suits, opening the day with “My Country "Tis of Thee,”” and closing it with the “Star Spangled Banner.” He says men who were getting 23 cents a day when the war broke out are now getting $2 and told how the prosperous merchants delight in calling themselves the Porte Rico Yan- kees. Hanna is now on his way to Mex- ico, where he has been appoiated consul. Situntion at Amens. Dr. J. B. Kennedy recelved word this morning from Ames in relation to the typhold fever situation. There are prac- tically no new cases and those down with the fever are getting better, although a number of the patients are very weak. The board fs notified that samples of water from the college and from & number of wells in the city had been forwarded for analysis. These upon arrival will be turned over to the state chemist and Prof. Grimes, state bacteriologist, for examina- tion. The water at the college was ana- lyzed at Ames, but this analysis is for the purpose of confirming the former one and for the further plrpose of declding whother or not the water from the dairies from which the mitk supply was obtalned 1s pure. Another case of smallpox from Webster City was reported to the State Board of Health this morning. The authorities in Webster City had thought that they had effectually stamped out the disease. PINGREE NAILS A CANARD Michigan's Governor hat ¥ Again Denien ntends to Vote for Bryan. SIOUX CITY, Ia, Oct. 30.—(Special.)— Governor H. 8. Pingree ot Michigan has written a letter to Dr. J. C. Clark of Sioux Clty, denying that he has come out for Bryan, as stated some time ago In great staring type by Hearst's Chicago American. On the occasion of a visit of Governor Pingree to Chicago the American published & large picture of him, and underneath it declared In words that streched across the page that Governor Pingree had come out for Bryan, because there was no longer any hope for the American people under a re- publican administration. Doubting the au- thenticity of this interview, Dr. Clark wrote to Governor Pingree about it on the strength of long acqualntance and numerous votes cast for him. His letter to the governor was as follow EIOUX CITY, Ia., Oct. 7, 190.—Dear Goy- ernor Pingree, Detroit, Mich.: I inclose you a clipping which speaks for itself, and I pray you will purdon my intrusion,’ havin nown you for the last quarter century an voted for you many times, of which I feel Justly proud. T take the ifberty of asking you [t this statement in the clipping 18 cor- rect, Truly yours, 1 EPCEARK Yesterday Dr. Clark recelved the denial in the following letter: DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 13, 1800.—J. C. Clark, Becretary Towa Assoclation of 'Op ticlans, Bloux City, la.: Dear Sir—I have Tecelved your letter of October 7, Inclosing the clipping. The Interview to which you Tefor. ou glven In the clipping, was entirely without authority, 1 did not say what the paper reports me to have said. 1 was dis- cussing state matters entirely and expressed the opinion while the reporter was present that the people of Michigan could not ex- pect any taxation legislation favorable to them unless they elected a democratic state senate. At the time the inerview which you send me was published the republican senate had four times defeated measures providing for the equitable taxation of the property of rallroads and other corpor: tons, These corporations now pay less than one-half the taxes which they ought to pay. Bince then, however, the legtala- tion, in vr-rlu‘l session last week, passed all of these laws.

PINGREE, Governor, Church Convicts Pastor. MYSTIC, la., Oct. 30.—(Bpecial.)—The Christian church of this place has lssued a circular with regard to the Rev. Z. T. Queen, who was arrested some time ago at Mystic, charged with bigamy. Th circular has been malled to the various other churches of the denomimation and contalns the following, signed by A. H. Baker, Elder Cork Cate, clerk, and B. 8. Denny, corresponding secretary: To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that the Christfan church at M: la., has investigated the charge against its pastor, Z. T, Queen, by his son, James F. Queen of Oxford, Neb., chargin him with the crime of bigamy, and foun that he had a wife at Oxford, Neb., whom he had lived with for thirty-three’ years: that he deserted her on December 2, 1899, came to Mystic about February 1.’ 1900, claiming to be a widower, and on May 10, 1800, wag married to Mrs. Anna Harden: brook. Therefore be it Reaclved. That ho be published in the di ferent church papers that their churches may be warned against him. City 0 \ ATLANTIC, la., Oct. 20— —Buit has been brought in this ecity agalust the county treasurer, county au- ditor and board of supervisors, with a view of stopping the collection of back taxes us done by Mr. Welman, with whom the board of supervisors made a contract last year giving Mr. Welman halt of the made re Su. Special.) collections. A writ of mandamus {s asked for instructing the treasurer to deliver the taxes received among the various tax funds and the board of su; ors from paying Mr. Welmar. more than 15 per cent of the money collected in accordance with the law passed by the lust legislature The suit is brought in the namo of H. A. Disbrow. It is expected that this will set- tle the question of legality of the contract made by the bourd with Tax Collector Wel man, South Omaha News. A great many democrats are declaring themsolves as opposed to the re-election of George W. Shields as county attorney. This opposition to Shields is being encouraged by Dr. Ensor and other democrats who were Interested in the administration prior to the election of Mayor Kelly. stated on the streets that Shields ga democrats here what is called in the slang of the street the double cross. As Shields broke faith with the democrats here he Is going to be paid back in the same coin At least that is what democrats who are in a position to know assert. The prin cipal ery of leading democrats now s to defeat Bhields at any cost and it in re perted that every effort is being made by Dr, Ensor and his friends to carry out the | program laid down. It Is freely predicted tbat Shields will not get enough votes in South Omaha to make it worth counting them, On the other hand the popularity of John W. Parish, republican candidate for county attorney, is Increasing daily. He is exceedingly well thought of in labor circles and from what is heard on the streots members of the various labor unions here will support him heartily, as he is known to be a stanch supporter of, union labor. South Omaha people appear to desire a man for county attorney who will keep his word and who will conduct the legal de partment of the county in an honest, straightforward manner. That fs why Par 1sh will get & big vote here, as he Is consid- ered the right man for the place Additional Letter Carrlers. It s expected that on Thursday of this week three additional letter carriers will be added to the force at the postoffice. Some time ago Congressman Mercer requested the postmaster general to increase the carrier force here on account of the remarkable in crease in the malls handled at this point. The request was granted and these appoint- ments have been made: Thomas J. Fit- gerald, Charles W. Martin and Frank Hagan Fitzgerald and Martin have been serving for yome time as substitute carrlers, while Hagan comes from the weslern part of the state. Postmaster Etter sald yesterday that the commissions for these men had not yet ar- rived, but he expects the documents fin time to put the new appointees at work on Thursday. This increase in the working force will assist materially in glving better servico not only In the residence districts, but In the business portion of the city. One car. rier with & wagon will be delegated to col- lect mail from the packing houses, stock ds and business district several times a day. At the same time the delivery of mail will be greatly facilitated. Hospital Social Tonight. This evening the women of the South Omaha Hospital association will give a so- cfal at Masonic hall for the purpose of rals- ing funds for the proposed new hospital bullding. Every one interested in this worthy enterprise is urged to attend the soclal. The buttons to be sold for the new bullding have arrived and it 1s expected that a great many will be sold at the social to- night. Mrs. Holmes said yesterday that she proposed to sell a button to every business man {n the city and to the women as well She expects that the 2,000 buttons now on hand will hardly last the week out, as so much interest is being taken in the propo- sition to erect a first-class hospital building here. Mercer Gaining Daily. Lou Etter, who is managing Congressman Mercer's campaign in South Omaha, said last night that without a doubt Mercer would carry the city in spite of the fact that there is supposed to be a democratic majority here. Mercer Is making friends every day and voters of all parties who realize what has been done for this city through his efforts will vote to return him to congress. Lotus Club Dance. The Lotus club, composed of many of the leading citizens of South Omaha, gave the first of a series of dancing partles at Ma- sonio hall last night. In epite of the rain nearly all of the members of the club were present and a most enjoyable evening was spent. These dancing partles will be held every two weeks during the winter.
