It s only necessary to amend this ordinance to make it both operative and effective. The decision recognizes a principle I have always held to be sound, and that is that an exclusive monopoly cannot be glven to any one person or com- Pany to enter upon premises of a private citizen against his will to remove what might become a nuisance, but which in its then condition was of value. The de- cision of the court, however, clearly recog- nizes the right of the city to regulate the manner of removal of everything which might come under the head of garbage or refuse, and to take all action proper or ry for the protection of public FIGHTS NEIGHBOR WITH KNIFE Quarrel Over Chiidren Leads W, §.

Atk OPENS UP GARBAGE QUESTION Oity Officials Talk of Effects of Recent Bupreme Court Ruling, ENGINEER ROSEWATER FAVORS NEW PLAN t to Be Collected 0f by Municipality e of Tazpayers in General, The immediate effects of the supremes eourt's ruling in the garbage case, accord- 0g to several city officials, are that the oity has lost §2,000 owed it by Alexander MacDonald, that the council must pass a ordinance to take the place of the one an- oulled and that, meanwhile, MacDonald's teams will continue to haul garbage and other refuse at so much per load, to be paid for by individual citizens ‘‘Under this ruling, as I understand it," sald City Englneer Rosewater, ‘“‘the cl still has the right to collect garbage at a uniform public expense, and to prevent un. licensed persons (rom committing a mui- sange by bauling refuse and offal over the street: The proper thing to do, in my opinion, is to provide by charter amend- ment for the districting of the eity, and for the proper scavenger service. As to how to dispose of this waste matter when once llected—that is a problem which remains o be solved, and one upon which I shall report in the near future. “If the eftect of this ruling is to annul the comtract with the City Garbage com- pany, then the city is out §2,000 which the company Should have paid the city in an. nual installments. The contract, which has ‘been running eight years now, requirés the garbage company to pay to the city $250 snsually, but 1 understand it er paid but tor ome year. The city comptroller should have reported these lapses to the eity councll, but he dida’t do so. H. J. Atkins, 716 North Eighteenth street, was cut with a knife eight times in the face, neck and right shoulder early Friday morning by Willlam 8. Graves, a neighbor. Atkins' cuts were sewed up by Police Sur- geon Benawa and his condition is serious, though It is belleved that he will recover. The troublé arose over Graves whipping Atking' children. Yesterday Atkins went to Graves' home and in discuseing the whip- ping of the children'a fight was started. Qraves drew his knife and began hing. Atkins recelved deep gashes across his left cheek, the left side of his head and neck, right shoulder and several minor cuts, in- cluding a slash across his lower lip. Atklins finally knocked Graves down and held him until the arrival of A. B. Taylor, Erich Frost and B4 Smith, who took the knife from Graves and beld bim until Oficer Saw- yer arrived. Graves was then arrested. Atking was also taken to the station and his wounds dreseed, after which he was taken home, Graves refused to make & state- meut of the affair other than to say it was caused by a quarrel over the children. Graves is small and about 25 years of age, while Atkins {s much larger.

This will insure & more cleanly and uniform condition, beca: the poorest family in the city could maintain as sanitary surroundings as the most wealthy, and any fallure in the performance of duty o the part of the scavemgers would be promptly reported. Under the present sys tem slovenly people, and the poorer glasses, who can’t afferd to hire wagons, are di pesed to throw Bith in the alleys, streets apd neighboring lots, to the detriment of their own and the public health. ““The first thing for the city councll to do ia to pass an ordinance regulating the disposal of all classes of waste, garbage 1ncluded, licensing parties who are engaged in that class of busiaess, providing for sultable bo for the faithtul performance of duty, and providing suitable fines and peoalties for its violation."

At the battle of Stone river, on January 1, 1863, Major Carpeénter of the Nineteenth was seri- ously wounded just as the regiment was falling back. Private Prentice W him fall and, knowing the ground would soon fall into the hands of the rebels, went back and carried the wounded officer to a place of lety. Major Carpenter's wound was such that he died before he was la'd down and he knew nothing of the éffort made to save him. Many years after the war had clesed congress awarded a medal of hopor to Private Prentice for his gal- lantry on this occasion.

The new Chicago & Northwestern light- ning eleven-hour train to Chicago made the run from Omaha to the Windy City in ten hours Thursday night. A party of news- paper men and railroad offic went out on the train to see if the road was really making the time the unprecedented sched- ule calls for and to learn how the last car of the train was kept on the track on the curves. As luck would have it, No. 2, the | Overland Limited, was late from the west, keeping the record breaker waiting for the | transfer malls, €0 the trainmen had ample | opportunity to display its speed. No. 10 is scheduled to leave at & p. m. sharp, and when it finally pulled out at 8:66 Conductor Cook announced that there | would be something doing to overcome that fifty-five mMutes lost. And there was. Botween Council Blufts and Missouri Valley | the road winds along between the bluffs and the river in serpentine lines, and the regular time for this twenty-two miles even for.this fiyer is twenty-sqven minutes. | The First American Revolution | and Court C Last night this distance was covered in nineteen minutes and a half, something phenomenal for the plece of track. But beyond Missour! Valley, where the track stretches out in a straight line, the engineer let out another link of englne No. 218 and there was some more time clipped. First he jumped from Dunlap to Denison, seventeen miles, in fourteen minutes. Then he made it still flercer ou toward Boone, getting Into that town in three hqurs flat out of Omaha, 152.1 miles. Thus twenty-five minutes of the needed fifty- five had already been made up, With the journey only a third completed, and the other thirty minutes came easy before Chi- cago was reached. So it was a ten-hour run that No. 10 made Thursday night and to appreciate the real speed maintained between here and Boone the part of the run between Omaba and Council Bluffs should be clipped off, as that i1s a matter of yards and ewitches all the way. From Council Bluffs to Boone, then, the time was two hours and forty-five minutes, or 165 minutes for 143.1 miles, including five stops and the sinuous run along between Council Bluffs and Mis- sourl Valley, The new train has been pamed the Trabsmissouri Limited.

CHAPTER VI—CONCLUSION, In view of the closely succeeding events in American history, the declaration of republican principles by Latreniere consti- tute a moat interesting and remarkabio document. This declaration was issued at New Orleans, October 20, 1765, It {s the preamble to the statement of grievances made by Lafreniere, an attorney gemeral and senior member of the superior coun- ¢il of the colony of Louisiana at a session of the council on the date above given. Following is the text of the declaration: ““Without population there can be no commerce, and without commerce no popu- lation. In proportios to the extent of both is the solidity of thrones. Both are fed by liberty and competition, which are the nursing mothers of the state, of which the spirit of monopoly is the tyrant and step- mother. Without liberty there are but few virtues. Despotism breeds pusillanimity and deepens the abyss of vices. Man is considered as sinning before God only be- ceuse he retains his free will. Where is the liberty of our planters, of our mer- chants, of all our inhabitants? Protection and benevolence have given way to des- potism. A single authority seeks to ab- sorb and annihilate everything. Without runping the risk of belng taxed with gullt, no man of any class can longer do any- thing but tremble, bow his peck to the yoke and kiss the ground. The superior council, bulwark of the tranquility of virtuous eitizens, has supported itself only by the combined force of the probity and disinterestedness of its members and of the confidence of the people in that tribunal. Without taking possession of the colony, without registering as was neces- sary, In the superior council his titles and patents according to the laws, forms and customs of the colony, and without pre- sentation of the act of cession, Senor de Ulloa has caused a president, three coun- sellors and a secretary nominated for that purpose, to take cognizance of facts which belonged to the jurisdiction of the superior councll, and In which French ¢iti- zens were concerned. Often did discon- tents and disgusts seem to force you to re- sign your places, but you have always con- sidered it as a duty of your station of coun- sellors to the most Christian king to alle- viate and calm the murmurs of the op- pressed citizens. The love of your coun- try and the sense of the justice due to every citizen who applies for it have sus- tained your zeal. It has always been ren- dered with the same exactness, although you have never thought proper to make representations of the infractions of the act of cession. You have always feared to give encouragement to & mass of discon- tented people, threatened with the most formidable calamities; but mow the whole body of the planters, merchants and other inhabitants of Loulsiana apply to you for justice. Let us now proceed to an ac- curate and scrupulous examination of the grievances, complaints and imputations contained in the representations of the planters, merchants and other iphabitants. What sad and mournful pletures ) these statements call up before you! > .zourge of the last war, & suspensi this day of the payment of 7,000,00, ‘be king's paper money, issued to supply the calls of the service and recéived with confidence by the inhabitants of the golony, had ob- structed the ease and couvenlence of the currency, but the activity and industry of the planter and of the French merchant had almost overcome all difficulties. The most remote corners of the territories held by the savages bad been discovered: ihe fur trade had been carried to its highest development, the new culture of cotlon joined to that of indigo and tobacco, cured carmoes to those who were engaged in fitting out ships. The commissioners of his Catholic majesty had promised ten years of free trade—that period being suf- ficient for every subject of France attached to his sovereign lord and king. But the tobacco of this colony being prohibited in Spain, where Havanna tobaccos alone are allowed; our timber, a considerable source of the income of the inhabitants being use less in Spain, which is furnished with this article by its possessions, ana the indigo being inferior to that of Guatem which supplies more than is requisite for the man- utactures of Spain, the returns for the com- modities of this colony to the peninsula b came a rulnous trade and the fubabitants were delivered up to most deplorable mis- fortune. His Cathollc majesty's commie- sloner had publicly declared the impo: bility of this country's trading with Spain; all patronage, favor and encouragement were formally promised to the inhabitants; the title of protector was decreed to Senor Ulloa; the hope and the activity necessary to the success of the planter were nour- ished by the faith and confidence reposed in these assurances of the Spanish gove nor. But by the effect of what undetermin, ing and imperceptible fatality have we seen a house worth 20,000 livres sold for 6,000 and plantaticns suddenly lose ope-half to two-thirds of thelr intrinsic value? For- tunes waste away, specie o scarcer than ever, confidence is lost, discouragement be- comes general, the mournful appeals qf dis. tress are heard on every sid This, with the remainder of the address, was adopted by the council as a part of the decree of expulsion lesued against Ulloa Oc- tober 29, 1768, The council, although at the time a revolutionary body, lssued the de- [ already adopted by thl- committee in so far as they are appropriate. That . the executive committee hold a session at 2 p. m. Baturday, Juné 14, 1902, to canvass the returns and issue cer. tificates of election to the successtul can- es for delegates. Thll sald delegat be expressly em- powered by those present to cast the en- tire vote accorded to Douglas county in said state convention. The total number of delegates to be elected to the state convention is ninety. five, to be apportioned as follows: Bach Omaha ward, seven; South Omaha, eighteen: each country precinet, one.
