Admiral Schley's counsel on the other hand | maintained their purpose of trylng to hold the testimony down to the requirements of civil courts Wise Resumes Stund. Captain Wise, who commanded the scout ship Yale during the Spanish war, con- tinued his marration of the retrograde movement of the fylng squadron toward Key West on May 27. He first told of how the Yale had taken the Merrimac in tow under direction of Admiral Schley. He id that the admiral had signalled upon | ting to ask If there was coal enough 10 carry him to Key West, to which he had responded in the afirmative. next day be had reported, In response to an inquiry, that he had, coal sufficient for two days of full steaming and for four days of moderate steaming. He was then dis- patched to Newport News, reporting to Admiral Sampson on the way. He had told Admiral Sampson, he sald, that the flying squadron was about thirty miles west of Santiago. In response to a question of the admiral, he had said he did not kmow what it doing there. In detailing the trip westward toward Key West, the witne told ef the breaking of the Yale's bawser on the Merrimac. He said this had caused delay. “What w Lemly. “Improper securing of hawser on Merrimac.” “Was it due to tempestuous weather or not?' “‘Not at all.” Mr. Hanna read the following extract from Admiral Schley's report of February 18, to the committee of naval affairs in reference to a letter from (he secretary of the navy of February 6, 1899, beginning “After having been inforn: u by th: scouts commanded by such officers as Sigsbee.

Report County 10 the Effect That Sarpy Attorneys Are Contemplat- ing Injunciton Againat Use nt Mnd Creek Sewer. The South Omaha Land company has completed preparations for the opening of a number of streets in the eastern par of the city. One of the first to be cpened will be Twentieth street from G street north to the city limits, where it will ccn- nect with Twentieth street, Omahs. At the prescnt time the only strests open through to Omaha in the eastern part of the city are Thirteenth street and Twenty. third street. For a number of years res! dents {n the eastern portion of the eity have been urging the oapening of Twentieth street, but the land company pald little Attention to the requests. Recently Acting Mayor Adkins had a (onference with the of the land cempany and the re. sult was that City Engineer Beal was in. structed to set the curb line stakes and other work preparatory to the opening of the street As soon as Twentieth street grade H and G streets from Seventeenth street to Twentieth street, and at the same time put Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets in passable condition. The opening of Twentieth street to the city limits will make a road directly through Syndicate park and this is what the people have been wanting for a long time. With good weather the improvements con- be completed before cold weather sots In South Omaha Club Reception. President Watkins and the directors of the Bouth Omaha club are making plans for a reception to be held at soon as the At this re- ception the members and thelr wives wil be entertained in a royal manoer. The new club rooms are now handsomely furnished | and the culsine is excellent. At the re ception the rooms will be handsomely dec- orated with palms, smilax, etc., and light refreshments and punch will be served in the dining room. The date of the reception has not been decided upon, but it will prob- ably be held about the middie of next month. School Telephones. At the suggestion of Superintendent Me- Lain the Board of Education has ordered telephones placed in ten of the school- hous: Owing to the distance to be trav. eled from the Central school to those in outlying districts the superintendent ad- vised the 'phones, as it takes so much of his time ln making the rounds. Now, with telephones, teachers may call up at any time and make reports and janitors can sead In requests for supplies without losing any time. These ten telephones will be placed in service as soon as the lines can be bullt. Preparing to Enjoin, It was reported at the city hall yester- that Sarpy county attorneys would seek to put a stop to the alleged Mud At first the city officials and corporation managers were threatened with a grand jury investigation This projest has, it appears, been aban- doned and an attempt will be made to se- cure an order of the court restraining the stock yards and packing houses from using Mud creek as a sewer. Action similar to this was tried in the case of the N street sewer, but the court declined to issue a restraining order, but Instead set the case for hearing. As the two cases are 8o near altke it is hardly likely that anything will | come of the proposed Injunction. Rev The work of revising the city ordinances is progressing slowly. As the attorney in charge of the work digs up some of the ordinapces passed In ng Ordinances Some of the ordinances have had certain sections repealed and the only record of such action is on the minutes of the coun- cfl.

SAYS NEWSBOY STRUCK HIM Trouble on Midway OMecer Brovn M and Files C en Againat Louis Baker. Louls Baker, a newsboy known to his friends as “Chicken,” was acquitted In police court of a disturbing the peace Thureday afternoon, and immediately afterward the complaining witness, Officer 8. Brown, filed a new com- plaint against him, charging him with “assaulting an officer.”” By an odd coinei- dence the arresting officer, the oficer who was “assaulted” and the complaining wit- ness are one and the same, The alleged assault occurred Thursday evening, September 19, on the midway. The grounds were crowded with j.cole, throwing confett! and engagink In cther | amusements peculiar to the carnival sea- | son, when young Baker blew what is known | as a “rubberneck” at a woman whose es- cort was Officer 8. Brown, the latter being oft duty and ln citizens' clothes. This was the cause of a quarrel, which ally led to blows. Brown's party comprised four persons, of whom two were women; with Baker were three newsboys of his own age, James Malcolm, Tony Castenz and Roy Wright One of the Brown party jerked the toy away from Baker, and then Baker and Brown exchanged blows Baker testified that he didn't know Brown was an officer and that Brown didn't show his policeman’s star intil after the fight. Baker has been released under bond and has mecured the services of an attorney.
