GONE WITH ANOTHER SOLDIER Maud West MeGinley Des: COhivalric Husband While He is in Quod, Her Private James McGinley, whose rescue of Maud West of Council Bluffs from a house ot 11l fame at Hastlogs, and his eubsequent marriage to her, gave him considerable no- torlety some months ago, was released from the guard house at Fort Crook Tuesday, after having served a three-month sentence on a charge of petit larceny. Upon belng released from prison McGinley found that other troubles awaited him, and he imme- diately re-enlisted in the army for a term of three years. It was the soldier boy's intentlon upon his release from prison to take his child wife to Chicago, his old home, and there forget the strenuous days spent In the west and live Bappy ever after. In this, however, he reck- ' oned without his host. Instead of finding a loving wife awaiting him at the prison door, McGialey was confronted with the discovery that she for whom he had done so much had IBRANRES; All the best new styles grown cold, and that for his kindness and love she had returned scorn: Three days after the marriage of the couple, while McGinley was in the guard house awaiting trial, it is sald Maud hied herself to Denver, and there she has since remained, basking in the smiles of another soldler, who Is sald to be connected with a recruiting station at that place. McGinley telephoned to Chief of Police Donohue yesterday morning that he had been glven his cholce of serving another three years in the army or taking a dishonorablc discharge and had chosen the former. MAY CONTINUE TAX FIGHT Realty Exchange Promises to Give Attention to County and State Assessment. Whether to carry the fight for equitable taxation to the county and state assessment was the subject of discuesion at the meet- ing of the Real Estate exchange yesterday. The tax committes announced that it had a report to eubmit and requested the ex- change to go Into executive session to hear k. After non-members had n excluded from the room the committee recommended that an appearance be made before the county board of equalization for the pur- pose of securing a just assessment of not only the franchise ¢orporations, but of job- bers and manufacturérs, especially the packers at South Omaha. Two of the iembers 6f the exchange op- posed a continuance of the tax fight, but the others seemed to favor the report of the committee. After coustderable - discussion the sbject was put over to next week's meeting. The exchange voted to give a plcnic some @ay this nionth and a committee composed of Messrs. Bostwick, Benawa and Frenzer was appointed to select the place and date and make all arrangements. W. A. Gardner was ‘elected a member of the exchange. NELSON OBJECTS TO HOUSE Does Not Want Wreck Moved Onto Lot Next to His Resi- “dence. A war is on bewteen Bullding Inspector Carter and a house mover named Charles Barnum, and at present the inspector seems to hold most of the winning cards. One of the physical evidences of the war is an old ramshackle house standing on mover's trucke, half in the sereet and half on a lot, at Nineteenth and Pratt streets. Next door is the palatial residence of W. T, Nelson, lawyer and author of legal text books. ' The ramshackle louse belongs to M. F. Martin, a real estate dealer. Mr. Carter that if the house is moved upon the lot he will never {ssue an- other permit to Charles Barnum. Mr. N son objects to baving his property depre- clated by the contiguity of such an un- sightly structure, and threatens to in- voke the law to enforce his rights. Barnum wants to finish moving the house so he can collect his fee from Martin. Martin, plqued at Mr. Nelson's interference, has notified the bullding inspector. that he pro- poses to lmprove all of his property on either side of the Nelson residence. Meanwhile the house still stands on the mover's trucks. Quite a musical treat was given Court- land Beach visitors last evening by Nor- din’s orchestra. It is an unusually large one, composed of the best musicians, and is under the personal direction of Mr, Ernst Nordin, so well and favorably known to all theater-goers as leader of the Boyd theater orchestra. Among the fourteen numbers were “Hail to the Spirit of Lib- erty,” selections from ‘‘Florodora, lome,” “Dream Plctu Girl” “Bohemian Girl,” “King Dodo” and & cornet solo, “The Holy City,” by Mr. H. Robrs. The entire program is to be reproduced every afternoon and evening of this week. -h‘lm Eat Dyspepsia Cure ‘The process of digestion is simply explained. In the mouth, food is masticated and mixed with saliva containing & digestant called ptyalin. In the stomach, it is acted upon by gastric juice contalning pepsin, which digests albuminous foods, In the intestines, pancreatin is added to digest fs and starches. Indigestion aiways indicates an insufficient amount of one or allof these digestants. At first thought {t seems proper toabstain from foods not easily digested; but reflection shows us that while this affords relief by giving the weakened organs less to do, 1t only makes them weaker by giving them less nourishment. 1f you suffer from indigestion, the only right thing todo is to eat a generous variety of food and digest it. by using. such a preparation as Kopor DYsPePsiA CURE, which contains all the known digestaats, and completely digests what you eu. i 44 It can’t Prepared by E. 0.

Yesterday morning was devoted to the re- ception of delegates at the Masonic temple, corner Capitol avenue and Sixteenth street, and to the social session acd dinner of the Veteran Masons’ Assoclation of Nebraska. There are 230 Masonic lodges in the state and each will be represented by from one to three delegates in the grand lodge.

It is not likely that the proposition to establish an Masomic orphans’ home will be considered by the grand lodge, although it may come up for incideftal discussion In connection with certaln reports. Last year a resolution to make Omaha the permanent seat of the grand lodge was introduced and it will probably be acted on at this session. Many of the delegates oxpress themsclves in favor of the resolu- tion. The meeting of the Veteran Masons as- soclation, which began at 11 o'clock, was merely a social session and no business, ex- cepting the admission of seven mew mem- bers, was transacted. There were about fitty members present, including the fol- lowing officers: Martin Dunham, president; J. B. Dinsmore, John E. North and George H. Thummel, vice presidents: Thomas A. Crelgh, treasurer, and Francis E. White secretary. Former Governor Furnas was requested to prepare an address on “The Early History of Masonry in Nebraska,"” for delivery at the annual business meeting, which will be held next January. Veteraus Have Dinner, At 12 o'clock dinner was served the vet- erans at Masonic temple, when brief ad- dressce were made by former Governor Furnas, George W. Lininger, Edward Rose- water, George B. France, Henry Wilson, John Ehbrhardt and others. WHITMAN DESERTS HIS BRIDE Police Matron Little’s Romance Has Sudden and Sad Termination Through Soldier's Deceit. J. H. Whitman, member of Twenty-second infantry, has fisappeared and his bride of a week, shy, who was formerly Mrs. M. E. Little, police matron, has applied to the police to locate him. The disappearance of Whitman was T ported to the police Tuesday, but a day's search has failed to throw anmy light on his whereabouts. It has been reported to the police that Whitman left Fort Crook several days ago, due to return last Saturday. He has not yet returned to the fort and nothing further has been heard of him by the offiicers there. Mrs. Whitman is heart broken over the actfon of her husband, but stated yesterday morning that she did not believe that he has deserted her. Tuesday night, while she was absent from home, at the police sta- tlon, she sald, Whitman had called at her house, 80 she had been informed, and she 18 of the opinion that he has probably became Intoxicated and will return to her or the fort as soon as he gets sober. The police, however, have falled to secure any trace of him and are of the opinion that he s not in the city. Whitman informed bis wife that his term of enlistment in the army would expire in about two weeks, at which time, he and she would go to Chicago, where he had been offered a lucra- tive position in the machine shops. On the strength of this Mrs. Whitman re- signed her position as police matron, and it has been accepted, and she will not be reinstated. Her case is particlarly sad, because she 18 left without a position and has three small children to support. hitman and Mrs. Little were married secretly in Council Blufts last Wednesday, and no one knew of it until Monday, when she announced to the chief of police, her intention to resign. Whitman she sald, bad been & boyhood friend in the east, but that they had been separated for & number of years, during which time she married Mr. Litt When the Twenty- second, of which he was a member, re- turned, she and Whitman renewed their love affair of the old days and their mar- riage was the result. - RETAIL LIQUOR DEALERS MEET Come to Omaha to Transact Associa- tion Business Have a Friendly Visit, ompany B North Sixteenth w warming with corp- ulent, sleek-looking men yesterday, each of whom wore a red silk badge on lapel which bore the plcture of a: with epread wings, beneath which appeared 8 palr of clasped hands, and the words, “In union there is strength.”” They were the delegates to the sixth annual convention of the Nebraska Retall Liquor Dealers’ Pro- tective assoclation, and the motto means that mixed drinks will knock one out quicker than straight whisky. It is expected that there will be 400 dele- gates present from all parts of the state. The convention opened at 1 yesterday afterncon and will close Friday evening. All of the sessions will be behind closed doors. Last evening Boyd's theater in noon there will be & parade, in which all of the delegates and many of the lecal lguor dealers, brewers and distillers will ride through the principal streets in carriages. The parade will start from Thurston Rifies’ armory, the headquarters, at 1 o'clock, and will follow this itinerary: From the armory north on Sixteenth street to the residence of Gotleib Stors; thence to the BStorz brewery; thence south om Bixteenth sireet to Capltol avenue; west on Capitol avenue to Eighteenth street; douth to Farmam street, where the leading band will play a selection In front of The Bee bullding; syet to the World-Herald office, where there will be more music; east to Ninth street; south to the Metz brewery; west to Tenth street; south to Vinton street; and west to Krug's brewery, where there will be music and re- freshments. Here the parade will end Friday afternoon the delegates will go to Krug park and to Courtland beach. IG'S HONOR IS UNTARNISHED Declines to Hold Communication with Johnnie Wright, Save in Pres- ence bt Witneases. Ignatius Jehovah Dunn, “deputy county at- torney in and for Douglas county, Ne- braska,” {8 a very cautious manm, which perhaps explains an incident thdt occurred in his office Tuesday. When the case against Police Officer Mar- tin Shiels, charged with assautling Vie- tor B. Walker, was called in criminal court Monday, Charles Mars, a colored man who was to appear as one of the witnesses for Walker, was absent, and Dunn had disquieting suspicions that he had departed to remain away permanently, and this became the geperal rumor. It developed later, however, that Mars is a porter on a sleeping car and that he had gone west with the Shriders, understand- ing that the case would not bs called for some time. When Johnnie Wright, his bondsman, heard of Dunn's alarm and threat to sue on the bond, he went to Dunn's office with a friend to explain matters to the latter. The friend who knew Dunn introduced Mr. Wright, and then started to leave the room on business of his own. But Ignafius saw In this simple proceeding a dark plot to attempt to corrupt him and perhaps to defame him. He thought of his sacred honor, of his responsible position and of the day when he should be county attorney with two office rogms, a stenographer and a messenger to de his running about for him. Rising to his feet with flaming eyes and uplifted arm he is said to have shouted: Stop! Take not one step toward yonder door or by heaven I'll follow thee! 1 per- celve the motive in this, and as God lives I will not be outwitted by such as you. I am a lawyer, but I etill have honor; that honor I will protect at any cost. If you go, I'll say no word to Johnnie Wright nor listen to aught he may say to me, for I suspect that he would fain corrupt me with paltry bribes or else would go forth and tell to the world that I sacrificed the dignity of my office and glory of my name by making sim- ilar offers to him. I'll have none of it. You stay or I go with youl” Wright's friend stayed, the purpose of the Visit was explained in detail and Mr. Dunn was finally calmed, agreeing to give reason- able time for Mars' return to Omaha. Nothing equal to Prickly Ash Bitters for removing that sluggish, billous feeling o common In hot weather. It creates strength, vigor, appetite and cheertul spirits. Ty cousciL PROCEEDNGS| @9 YEARS OL KIDNEYS HE CCA SMITH OF WESTFIELD, Mayor's Veto of Onpiwl Avenue Market Appropriation Overriden, ONE EXTRA LIGHT RESOLUTION STANDS Order of New Electric Lights Passes myor's Veto, While that for Additional Gas Lights Falls, Over 1 At the regular meeting of the city coun- cil Tuesday night three vetoes from the mayor were read, one of which was sus- tained. The vetoed documents were as follows: A resolution setting aside from the general fund $15,000 to be used in the construction of the Capitol avenue market house, a resolution authorizing the elec- tric light company to place ninety-nine aro lamps and a resolution authorizing the gas company to place 100 gas lamps in addi- tion to those now in use. The veto of the latter was sustained; those of the first two documents were overridden. The veto of the market house resolution 1s as follows: To the Honorable the City Council of the City of Omaha—Gentlemen: 1 return herewith without my approval document No. 162 passed by ‘your honorable body at_your last regular meeting, M ‘rhia document is. & resoistion authoria: ing the expendituure of $15,000 taken from fund to be used In the con- struction of a public market house on Capltol avenue between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, I veto this resolution for the reason that the proccedings necessary to be taken for the harrowing of Capitol avenue from its present width of 120 feet have not been taken, and that the proceedings which have 'been attempted in that behalf are not in compliance with the requirements of the charter and would not protect the city from liability and damages. Section 27 of the charter in express terms rovides “that no street or avenue shall e narrowed to a width of less than sixty- six fect, except on petition of two-thirds of the owners of the lots and real estate along that portion of the street or avenue narrowed.’ No Petition Filed. No such petition has been filed for the narrowing of Capitol avenue as is pro- posed. The ordinance which has been passed relating to the narrowing of Capitol avenue and authorlzing the appolntment of appraisers, under which the appraisers acted and ‘made their report, does not as- sume to be based on any petition of prop- erty owners. The only petition or walver of damages of property ewners which was ever filed or considered was one reques ing the locatlon of market houses on Cap- itol avenue and foregoing any claim for damages resulting from the erection or construction of market houses. These pe- titions do not pretend to assume to ask for the narrowing of Capitol avenue or to ‘walve damages by reason of the narmwlng of the same. The ordinance under whic the proceedings relating to the narrowing of Capitol avenue were taken is {llegal for lack of the necessary petition of property owners, as its effect is to narrow the width of Capitol avenue to less than sixty- six feet. The portion of Capitol avenue be- tween Thirteenth and Tourtesnth streets undertaken to be vacated is in the center of Capitol avenue and is forty-ight feat in width. The effect of such vacation, if it could be legally made, would be to reduce Capitol avenue on each side of said vacated space of forty-elght feet to the width of only thirty-six feet. BECAUSE HIS HAND WAS HURT Joseph Bergbauer Brings Suit Agaiost the Me ing Company. Joseph Bergbauer considers that he has a thousand-dollar grievance against the Metz Brewing company and ‘has gone into district court with it Tehearsing the detalls in a petition for judgment.

TO SURVEY RAILROAD LANDS Surveyor Edquist Ready to Act on the Order of the County Commissioners. Damage Brew- County Surveyor Edquist states that by the middle of next week he will undertake the. work of surveying all Tallroad land in the county and making a complete record of the same, as directed to do by the county commissloners. He believes, however, that four months will be required for the task, although he will have three men at work under his per- sonal supervision. He hopes the oity may interest itselt in this work also’and help bear the expense, belleving that the council has quite as good need of the records of & new survey of.this property as have the commissioners, LOCAL BREVITIES. Robert A. Woodburn has secured from Judge Dickinson a decree divorcing him from Sarah because of cruelty. Alonson Roberts, Eben K. Long, Andrew Smith, C. B. Lenry, A. E. C haffes and, John G." Curtls have incorporated the Tintlc Minlng_company, with an authorized capi- tal of $5,000.

Gas Light Veto Goens. The mayor’s veto of the regolution pro- viding for 100 additional gas lamps follows: To the Honorable, the City Copnell of the City of Omah ntlemen: I return herewith without my Lfinroval document No. 1158, passed by your honorable body at t regular meeting, May 27, document s a resolution lutharltld‘ maha Gas company to lacate 100 a ditional gas lamps. 1 veto this resolution 4 because it requires an expenditure of moneK to be taken from the lighting fund, whicl sum taken, with the amount required ConourTent resoIution Now 180, would proy duce an overlap in the lighting fund at the close of this year of at least $,000. From figures given me by our city comp- troller, I find that the 1.83 mills, the amount levied tor the lighting fund, would produce net $61,%53.82. Add to this levy the royalty to be paid by the gas company and the electric light company and it would make the total amount avaliable, in round figures, about §75,000. The fixed expenditures of the fund are as follows: 958 gas lamps, at $30/each per year..$28,690.00 a;ss clectrie 1amps, at $%.60 each p . 81,657.60 10,080.00 Which makes a total of., $70,327.50 Add to this amount the contemplated ad- dition as contained in this resolution and resolution No. 115; also add the removal of gas lamps at an expense of $12 each, in round figures $5,500, this would make a total expenditure of §78,827.60, an overlap of nearly $4,000. This must not be, 1 do not wish to interfere with the plac- ing of such lamps as we may have the money to pay for and wish to leave the locating of the same to your honorable ody, as each councilman knows the neces- sity ‘of his own ward better than I do; but T would respecttully suggest that in Phe location of these lights that you con- sult with the city electrician, so as to avold conflioting lights, that is, an electric light, at @ street intersection and a gas light at the same place, By this means the city can be lighted to a better advantage and et more light fo money than B Seoa Lt e S me of s Hghie are &t the present time, But allow me to impress upon your honorable body that there must be no over- lap In the lighting fund this year, and it would be better to have a few thousand dollars to the good in_ the lighting fund than to use up every dollar of sald fund simply because we have the money to use, T ‘therefore veto this resolution. Respects fully, FRANK E. MOORES, Mayor. This veto was sustained by the following vote: Ayes—Burkley, ler, Karr—5. Nays—Hoye, Whitehorn, Zimman—3. Electric Light Order Stands. The veto of the resolution providing for ninety-nine arc lamps was the same as the foregoing, but was overridden by a unanimous vote.

It was affrmed by the company that he failed to deliver cattle ‘on which he had secured an advance payment' from them of several thousand dollars and the attorneys insert in their motien that if any offense,was committed it was in Utah where Heap was at the time. This contention is one that Heap made at the time of his arrest, and was among the reasons for the protracted delay in bringing him to Omaha. Heap secured an attorney in Wyoming, where the ar-. rest was made, who fought Sheriff Power's effort to bring his man in every way he could. His attorneys here consider it worth while to make another attempt be- fore the case goes to trial.
