CLEAWING DYEING and REPAIRING Phone A63L. 122 SOUTH N SIRIET TAXPAYERS DEMAND PAVING Urge Oity Conncil to Make Contracter Pay for Delay. ACTION DEFERRED TILL WEDNESDAY NIGHT Ordinance is Passed Granting Part cf Street to Omnha Brewing Com- pany—Spec| plice for Election Day. That the property owners on Harrison strect are not in favor of any further de- lay in the paving of that thoroughfare was fully demonstrated to the aldermen at the meeting of the city council Monday nigat. It was urged by them that if Contractor Wickham did not begin on the work as or- dered by the council he be made to pay the penaity as orovided in his contract. It was admitted by the property owners that it was doubtful it eufficient brick suitable for the paving could be obtained from the local yards at this time, but this was a condition which affected the con- tractor and not them. The contract with Wickham, they pointed out, required thac the paving should have been completed by the first of the present yvear, but that the time had been extended by the council to September 1. The latter date had pa and no effert had been made, they by Wickham to begin the work. The; they wanted the street paved and If Wick- ham refused to do it he should be held to the forfelt provided in the contract. Alderman McDonald in favor of ab- rogating Wickham's contract for both Harrison street and Myuster street, which are to be paved with home-made brick, ana enforcing the penalties. Alderman Boyer was opposed to this, as he said he belleved an arrangement might be made whereby scme other brick might be obtalned for Harrlson street. e suggested that brick might be obtained from St. Joseph or Kan- sas. In the absence of Contractor Wickham from the city he favored postponing action until his return. At bis suggestion the matter was lald over untll Wednesday evening, when the council will meet to take final action. Brewers Get Part of Stre. The ordinance vacating three feet of Scott street to enable the Omaha Brewing company to improve the property recently | bought by It at the corner of that street and Broadway was paesed, Lougee, Hammer and McDonald voting against it.

He d It was a business proposition pure- ly, a8 the brewing company has guaranteed | in return for the three feet of ground to | erect a handsome thre tory bullding which would be an ornament to the city. He pointed out where the city had made simi- lar concessions and had received practl- cally nothing In return. The matter of establishing an alley north of the block on Broadway between Scott 2nd Sixth streets was referred to the city engineer with instructions to make an es- timate of the cost and report at the next meeting. E. J. Day, representing the own- ers of the frame barn on Scott street, de- manded $1,200 for a small strip needed for the alley. This the aldermen considered excessive. Special Election Policemen.

A year ago the sons brought sult in the district court ask- ing that the deed to the farm be trans- ferred to them, they having bought it with their earnings. This, it 1s sald, they did in order to deprive their mother of the property on the death of her husband. She resisted the application and during the pendency of the suit began divorce pro- ceedings, alleging cruel and inhuman treat- ment on the part of her husband. The suit brought by the sons was finally settled and Mrs. Kilanowski agreed that the deed be transferred to them on their entering into a contract to allow her and her husband the use of the farm during their lives. The divorce suit was also set- tled out of court, Mrs. Kilanowski with- drawing her petition. ELOPERS FROM NEBRASKA R. B, Lane and Alma Marties of Co- lumbus Fail to Get ‘Married Because of Youth, R. B. Lane and Alma Marties arrived in Counell Bluffs early yesterday morning from Columbus, Neb, to get married, and they would probably have succeeded had not the young woman confided to Pastor Erick- son of the Fifth Avenue Methodist church that she was little more than 16 years of age and her intended husband had not se- cured the consent of her parents to the pro- posed marriage. The actions of the young people clearly indicated that it was an elopement. When the young people arrived at the Unlon Pacific transfer depot they Inquired the way to the residence of the nearest minister and were directed to the Fifth Avenue Methodist church parsonage, where Rev. E. W. Erickson lives. Here, after ucquainting Mr. Erickson with the object of their visit, Lane left his intended bride while he went to the court- house to secure a license. At the office of the clerk of the district court Lane gave his age as 26 and in an- swer to the Inquiry of Deputy Baird sala his prospective bride was 18 years old. Deputy Baird was In the act of writing out the marriage license when Pastor Erickson appeared on the scene. “What age did you say the young wom- an wa inquired the minister. “Eighteen,” replied the expectant groom deep flush suffused his face. “Well, that is strange,” saild Mr. Erick- son; “the young lady herself but a few mo- ments ago admitted to me that she was not yet 17 years of age. The law does not al- low people under 18 years of age to get married unlees they have thelr par- ents' consent.” Lane stuttered a good deal while trying to explain that his prospective bride was not ‘“quite’” 18; that she was 17; but on being pressed by Deputy Baird had to finally admit that she was not 17 yet. Rev. Erickson explained that the appar- ent youth of the girl had made him susple- fous and that he had questioned her as to her age, with the result that she admitted she was only 16, “‘Could you get the coneent of the young woman's parents to the marriage if you tel- egraphed for it?" asked Deputy Baird. Lane replied that he doubted if he could, but that he would write for it and expected to have it so that he could get married to- day.

Vainly Swi Despondent over his inability to abstain from intoxicating liquors, which had been the cause of his losing several positions, John Fetter, a young man whose home 1s sald to be in Omaha and who recently worked in the drug store of O. H. Brown on South Main street, attempted late Sun- day night to end his life by taking mor- phine, After swallowing the drug young Fetter told his brother, Earl, what he had done and declared that he was tired of living. ‘The brother applied to Officer Callaghan and with his help took young Fetter to Dr. Rice's office, where a stomach pump was applied with success. It was evident that young Fetter had been drinking and the doctor was uncer- tain as to the amount of the drug that he had swallowed. After he had been pumped out, young Fetter declared his intention of taking his life at the first opportunity. He called at several drug stores after leaving Dr. Rice's office and sought to secure more morphine, but Officer Callaghan forestalled him. Finally Callaghan informed the young man that he would have to choose between belng locked up and going home.

DES MOINES, Oct. 28.—(Special )—A spe- clal meeting of the state executive council was held at 7 o'clock this morning in the rooms of Governor Shaw in the Victorla hotel. The governor had reached home from Ohlo, where he had been engaged in speaking, at 4 a. m, and was due to start for Fonda at 8 a. m., 80 it was necessary to have the special meeting at an unsea- sonable hour in order to have all mem- bers present. The council was waited on by President Beardshear of lowa State col- lege, Ames; Secretary Stanton, W. K. Boardman and J. B. Hungerford of (he board of trustees, and they presented to the council the needs of the state college in the matter of providing for the work stopped by the burning of the experimental barn at the college last week. The loss on the barn, including hay, was about $4,000. The trustees asked the executive council to glve them money with which to bulld a temporary structure. There remains in the providential fund only $3,000 unexpendad and the council voted to give this to the trustees, that they may temporarily pro- vide for quarters for the experimental work at the college. This is the first time for many years that the providential fund has all been used for any purpose and this is due to the large number of fires at state institutions, Spread of Smallpox.

The State Board of Ballot Judg con- sisting of the attorney general, secretary of state and auditor of state, this after- noon declded that the name of Robert Hufschmidt as candidate for representative for Allamakee county may be placed on the | ballot. The ground for this decision was that the act of the board in holding s ficlent the objections to the first certificate filed created a vacancy within the mean- ing of the law and this vacancy could be filled by filing new nomination papers, which has been done. The court adhered to its original ruling on the main point of the insufficiency of the fraudulent nomt- nation papers, but opened the door for the correction of errors by the decision of to- da; Blind Man to Stand Tri Otis Green, the slayer of his wife, and who is confined to his room at Mercy hos- pital suffering from the effects of a bullet which he sent Into his own head, destroy- ing the sight of both eyes, will be ar- raigned tomorrow on an indictment charg- ing him with murder in the first degree.

I have mever known a battle that was ever fought on the plan originally chosen." Just One Thing to Do. Mr. Rayner—Do an; use the word “written Captain Lemly--Do you think you could supply the captains with a plan of battle without writing them? Mr. Rayner—I could not, but I know the admiral could. Continuing his examination, Lemly asked: “When, at 9:45 a. m., May 20, you sighted a man-of-war, as shown by Brooklyn's log, and cleared for action, what order had been issued in conformity with the provisions of the regulations | of the regulations?"’ “I should not think any instructions would be necessary for a ficet meeting a single vessel, except to smash it up.” Captain Lemly—Could you tell absolutel. there was only a single vessel, although | you sighted but one? “As I only saw one smoke, I presumed, of course, there was but one vessel. quently we ralsed Vesuvius, | much lower in the wate .

It they had been separated they would That was de- have permitted themselves to be knocked to pleces.’ Ra At this point Mr. Rayner, addressing himself to Captain Lemly, sald that he did not want to object to this line of ques- tioning, but there was no specification which called for it. “I wish to submit to the Judge advocate as well as to the court,” he said, “that there Is a section of the naval regulations which says he shall, It possible, before going into action supply every captain with a plan of battle and assign thereon the position each shall oc- cupy.” “There is no specification here that he has disobeyed any regulation of the navy. I am confident that if he had disobeyed the claim would have been in the specifica- tion, because they include almost every- thing in relation to the controversy. I do not see the word ‘written’ in any of them. I suppose there must be some discretion left to a man in command of a fleet.
