TANGIER TEMPLE GLORIES IN HIS HONOR te Met at Station by Enth Nobles Escorted to Masonie Temple to Recelve Con= sratulations. Oolonel Henry C. Akin, who was made imperial potentate of the Ancient Arablc Crder of the Mystic Bhrine at the imperial counell in Ban Francisco June 13, reached the oasis of Tasgier Monday evening and was royally received by the mobles of his ple. A delegation of the follow- nobles weat from Omaha to Lincoln orted Imperial Potentate Akin o this city; Judge tav Anderson, M. A. Mall, Cadet Taylor, B, B. Wilcox, M. F, Funkhouser, A, M, Oleson. At Lincoln Colomel Akin had been by smembers of Besostreus temple, parent lodge of the Omana temple, and given a cordial greeting. A reception was Beld at the Lincoln hotel, where many Shriners met the distinguished head of their order, A banquet was served in the even- ing before the party left for Omal Colonel Akin was accompanied trom Call- fornia by Nobles B, F. Thomas, Charles F. Tracy and J, Y, Teetzel and their wives. Thirty Carriages in Line. met the 1t required thirty carriages to accommo- date the reception committees and their guests from the Burlington station in Omaha. The procession was headed by & band and the Arab patrol guarded the four- in-hand which bore the imperial potentate from the depot to the Masonic temple at Sixteenth street and Capitol avenue. There was a loud demonstration at the depot as the first glimpse was caught of Colonel Akin. A vast roaring crowd, plumed with the red fez, fairly took pos- wession of things and before the venerable potentate could offer resistance he was soaring at arms length of about a dozen sturdy nobles who bore him aloft from the tnterior of the station to his carriage. Procession to the Temple. The procession marched from the station up Tenth street to Farnam as far as Four- teenth, down Fourteenth to Doug on Douglas to Sixteenth, thence to the temple on Capltol avenue. The reception of the evening was held at the Masonic temple. Colonel Akin was besieged with Shriners and their ladles, who heaped congratuia- tions upon him informally before the regu- Jar reception began. It was a most en- thus tic gathering and there was abun- dance of evidence that Omaha nobles hailed with greatest delight the member of their temple upon whom the highest honors of the Imperial Shrine had been conferred. The lodge court presented a brilllant gcene, Numerous banners and emblems of the order swung from conspicuous places, d the whole appointments were attrac- tive. Beated along the sides of the hall ‘were Shriners and their ladies, with nobles at the doors, In the corridors and every other avallable place. Imperial Potentate Enters. As the orchestra played the “Star- BSpangled Banner” Imperial Potentate Akin entered the court. His entrance was the signal for hearty applause. He was pre- sented by Judge Anderson, who made a very happy speech, saying that at the recent Imperial council of the greatest soclal or- der Colonel Akin bad been distingulshed a8 the leader of Shriners and had there- tore brought to Tangler and Omaba a great Sistinction. “Mid pleasures and palaces though we mAy roam, there is no place llke home,™ sald Colonel Akin, in beginning his brief remarks. He told his assoclates of the splendid receptions he had met on all hands In the golden west, but said that his ple: ure was not complete until he had reachel the oasis of Tangler. He spoke with great feeling of the high honor conferred upon him and of the distinetion given Omaha and Tangler temple. was among the greatest temples of the United States, there being but three in Its rank. M. A. Hall spoke of the Shriners of North America and said he hoped the time would come soon when the order that has done 0 much for charity would be world- wide, D. E. Green, a noble of Sesostreus of Lin- coln, conveyed the sentiments of his temple In cordial words and recalled the fact that Besostreus was the parent of Tangler, adding that therefore the honor bestowed upon the younger temple was all the more appre- clated by the Lincoln Shriners. Following the addresses everybody ex- lended congratulations to Imperial Poten- tate Akin and then partook of refresh- ments. / Building Permi hl ding permits have been issued as fol- wa r{ohn Cooks, two-story frame dwelling at fteanth and Valley streets.

A, several officers’ wives and two diminutive Filipinos from the island of Samar. When the sections crept across the bridge there were only 400 soldiers aboard, for Major J. C. Irvine had been taken off at the station, suffering with acute rheuma- tism, and sent in an ambulance to Clarkson hospital, where he will remaln until he regains the use of his crippled members. The khaki-clad veterans who rushed to the restaugant for supper while their reg! mental commander, General Robe, who suc- ceeded by promotion Colonel Liscum when the latter was killed at Tien Tsin, was belng formally received by General John C. Bates, commander of the Department of the Missourl, and his aldes, Captain W. M. Wright and Lieutenant V. L. Wills, showed little the worse for the campalgning of the last few years that has been so rigorous and 5o brilliant as to bonorably sustain the magnificent record that this regiment established long They were hungry and they were four months behind in pay, but they were happy. They left Samar in April, just a little too early for the pay- master's visit; they left Manila in May, again too early for the paymaster, who di gorges every two months, and they left ‘Frisco last Friday, still without money, as their papers were at Manila. But they know the money is coming and they have pleasures ahead that keep their minds busy, for they are going back to thelr old quar- ters. In the first section of six freight cars, three tourist sleepers for the soldiers and two Pullmans for some of the officers and their wives, were Companies A, C and D, golng to Fort Nlagara. In the second sec- tion, made up of five soldiers’ sleepers, two Pullmans and a freight car, were Com- panies, E, F, G, H, L, M and K, golng to Madison barracks, near Brooklyn, N. Y. Company I s already there and Company B is still at Pekin. They return real heroes, for it was the Ninth . that furnished Galvin Titus, the Towa boy who was first to scale the walls of Pekin; it was the Ninth that had earlier done splendld service in Cuba and it was a company of the Ninth that endured the borrors of a Filipino massacre. On the traln were elght men who were with Company C when it was so suddenly and Inhumanely attacked at Balangiga. One of these eight was Clifford M. Mumby, first sergeant, who said last night: The people who are creating all this dlscussion of the water cure forget the cir- cumstances that fired the soldiers on ths islands with a determiuation to apprehend the gullty natives. While we were at breakfast on the morning of September 28 a native captaln of police treacherously grabbed the gun from the ehoulder of sentry No. 2 and fired a signal that brought from the meighboring bushes between 400 and 500 natives, who shot, hacxed and butchered before we could reach our guns in the barracks. We fought our way through them with clubs, stones and case knives, and when we finally reached the guns forty-eight of our men were dead, twenty- two wounded and only four uninjured. Of the wounded twelve were able to fire and between us we managed to fight back those howling fiends, get the living Into boats and escape. I was one of those who weré sent back later to identity the dead and such awful work I never dreamed of. Those dusky devils had cut our helpless dead to s off, thrust por- tions - of thelr person {nto .the gaping mouths, rubbed jam into the wounds. With this known and with every native felgning ignorance, e it 8o strange that the enraged comrades of the dead soldiers resorted to vigorous and perhaps rigorous measures to make the natives divulge the names of the leaders? The so-called water cure {s not dangerous, nor s it agonizing, and its most lutary effect is the fright it gives the patient.” In an ambush Company E lost twelve men and every company in the reglment has contributed sometime to the history of recent warfare. As a result of the Balangiga massacre Pedro Belanuevava, who isn't nearly & long as his name and is 15 years old, will | recelve an Eng ish school'ng in some privats institution in Brooklyn at the expense of Company C. When the company had fought its way to the barracks the members found this little chap inside guarding the guns for them like the most loyal of Americans —and they won't forget it. The other na tive boy is Pedro Pruzon, whom Capt Burt proposes to educate. He is Adusky as the other Pedro and just as keem, dut three years younger. NAMES ARE TOO MUCH ALIKE “Oxydonor” and “Oxygenor” Take Up Time of Two Federal Court Judges. An Towa and Nebraska judge, both of the United States circult court, sat together in a federal court room Monday over two cases which are exaetly similar, but one of which applies in Iowa and the other in Nebraska. To save unnecessary delay and red tape in the distribution of justice Judge McPherson and Judge Munger buuched tke cases and the decision which they reached late Mon- day afternoon will be filed at Des Moines today, as it was in Omaha yesterday. The matter in litigation hinges on the name “oxydopor,” a patent medical device put on the market by the Animarium com- pany of New York City. From here Is be- ing sold by E. L. Mos Xygenor, other device, similar in appearance and in name. G. W. Filloon sells the same thing in Iowa. The Animarium people say that the “Oxygenor” folks put out thelr article on the strength of the reputation which “Oxydonor” had galned and are selling It successfully on the similarity of name and looks. They want the “Oxygenor” men pro- hibited from using either name or selling elther article, and wish them to account for all profits so far. Defendants maintained that such a propo- sition was preposterous and asked that they be discharged from under it. The double- header court heard argument all day on this peint, and finally overruled the plea of Moses and Filloon that the Animarium plaintiffs be thrown over the transom and allowed the plaintiffs time in which to amend their petition ACCIDENTALLY SHOT IN MOUTH G. the Vietim of Boy's *s in Handling Gun, G. F. Damon was the vietim of the “didn't know it was loaded” gun yesterday in the clothing store of Jacob Freldma: at 211 South Twelfth street. The bullet struck bim in the mouth, breaking through the roof of the same and finding exit through the nose, knocking out two upper tront teeth in its passage, and making a very troublesome, but not dangerous wound. Joe Greenburg, the 9-year-old son of Ike Greenburg, who lives at 1105 Farnam street, held the revolver when It was discharged. Dr. Balley was summened and took the in- Jured man In a carriage to hie home at 3824 Hamilton street. Damon and Freldman were looking over & bill of goods at time of the accident, which was about 5:30 p. m., and young Greenburg and another boy were sitting on the floor and fooling with the revolver. NEW LINE INTO MISSOURI Prospeeta for Railread from Omaba Diroot to Tarkio, Missouri. WEALTHY FARMER IS PUSHING PLANS Makes Proposition to Farnish Road- bed Free to lowa Co Which Proposes to Bulld from Des Moines. A new railroad from Omaha into north- western Missour, with connections to Des Moines, Ia., 18 one of the things which is being talked of now. The projector of this line, according to current report, is David Rankin, the wealthy farmer and stockralser of Tarkio, Mo. Mr. Rankin, with his son, Willlam Rankin, was in Omaha several days last week and had a conference with the local representative of the company which has projected a line of road from Des Moines to Blanchard Ia. His object In this visit was to have the company extend that line to Tarkio, where it would join the line contemplated by Mr. Rankin from Omaha to that polnt. He is said to have assured the representa- tive of the lowa company that if his proposition met favorable treatment at the hands of the company he would put a large number of horses to work on the right-of-way of the new road and give the company a graded roadbed without expense to It. “Then,” he sald, “I will begin work on the line from Ormba to Tarkio. I have been thinking of this matter for several months and have submitted the proposition to others who have some money and the arrangement {s complete for the sale of the bonds necessary to build the line. The preliminary survey rums through Council Blufts, Glenwood, Tabor, Sidney and River- ton to the state line and then by alr line to Tarkio. I would swart to work imme- diately, but the parties who have promised to take the bonds have not given guaranty for the fulfillment of their contract and I desire no hitch in the proceedings after the work is started.” David Rankin is one of the heaviest buyers for feeding on the South Omaha market, having one or more buyers here during the feeding season and making many trips to the market himself during the year. His farm near Tarklo 1s one of the largest in the west and his feeding is done on a scale mot equalled by any other farmer in that state. It is sald that for some time he has been trying to get the Burlington road to glve him better facilities for the handling of his crops and stock, and while there s a load- ing yard on the farm, there s not sufficient trackage to sult him. Tarklo is or & branch of the Burlington and ttere are complaints on the part of many shippers that they have no direct connection with the east. The proposed line to Des Moines would give them a competing line to Chicago and also to Omaha. The local representative of the Iowa line could give the Missourl farmer mo posi- tive answer to his proposition for a free road-bed, but will submit the matter to the board of directors. Railway Notes and Personal Today the Burlington takes control and begins the operation of its new acqui- sition, the Kansas City & Omaha line, the particulars of which transaction and ar- rangements have appeared in The Bee. A large delegation of passenger depart- ment officials from Omaha from the various lines left last evening for Chicago to a: tend the meeting Tuesday of the Western Passenger association. No business of vital importance is on the docket for this meet- ing and It is expected that nothing but routine business will come up. FLEMING GETS MORE MONEY Council Committee Agrees on Addi- tional Appropriation for As- sessment Purpos. The meeting of the general committee of the city council yesterday opened with a hearing of the parties interested In. the | draft of an ordinance providing for the | construction of permanent walks on both, sides of Spalding street between Twenty- fourth and Twenty-seventh. The mafority of the residents on this street wish per- | manent and uniform walks, but Ed String- er and others contended that it would be a hardship for them to have to replace good board walks. The committee ap- proved the motion that City Engineer | Rosewater look into the matter and report | upon it. Tax Commissioner Fleming asked for an answer to his letter of the 2ith Inst., im which he requested that a larger appro- priation be made to defray the expense of the work of assessment for next vear, In the letter Mr. Fleming exprcised the belfef that an assessment could not be made In strict accordance with the law | for less than $8,000. He explained that if an attempt were to be made to assess | mortgages and discover hidden property, at least $2,000 increase would have to be made In the regular appropriation. The committee expressed its approval by a vote of 4 to 3 In favor of a motion granting this request. The amount will be taken from the general fund. A letter was read from the authoritles of the state deat and dumb Institution in which they requested that a twenty-acre plece of land rented by them be made ex- empt from taxation. Upon their showing that the land is used by the school for practical Instruction in agriculture, a mo- tion was carried that the land be made exempt. The committee on public property and buildings made a report in regard to horse watering troughs. Mr. Lobeck thought that eight should be located, being placed as follows: On the west side of Fifteenth street, south of Dodge; on the west side of Thirteenth, south of Farnam; west side of Thirteenth, south of Dodge; south side of Jackson, east of Sixteenth; south side of Jackson, west of Eleventh; west side of Seventeenth, southeast of court house; east sido of Sixteenth, north of Nicholas and at the corner of Twenty-second and Farnam streets, the cost of these to be about 385 each. A resolution was approved that these elght be allowed and placed at designated points. CANDIDATE THOMPSON HERE Has Informal Reception somian Club o Ak-Sar-B at Jack.

At & meeting of the Library board last night some discussion was occasioned by the reading of the monthly statement of the secretary, which showed that at the Ames avenue substation only thirteen books were taken out daily. It was the opinion of the president that mot enough interest was being taken in the station by the residents of that locality to justify the expense of sending the books there. No action was taken in the matter, however, Bills to the amount of $1,91.86 were audited and it was voted to pay one more week's salary to those attendants who are absent at the library school of instruction at Mad- ison, Wis., Instead of allowing them ealary only for the time of their usual annual vacations. The report showed that 212 new books had been added to the library during the last month. Dr. Horace Ludington was authorized to rearrange the coin collection in the Byron Reed collection. The board met with these members pres- ent: L. A. Reed, F. L. Haller, W. C. Ives, Harry Deuell, P. L. Perrin and A. C. Ken- nedy. Assistant Librarian Miss O'Brien and John Rush and W. A. Hansen, recently appointed as directors, were also present. HYMENEAL. Evan ~Hiltner, On Tuesday evening, June 24, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin L.

EXTENDING WATER WORKS ' FRANCHISE Board of Education Disposes of Land Near Union Pacific Depot and Defers Purchase of School Site, A large delegation of members of the Anti-Saloon league attended the council meeting last night, supposing that the M- cense committee would make a report on the request filed a week ago in connection with the enforcement of the Slocum law. What the members of the league want Is a strict enforcement of the law, saloons to close at midnight and have a stop put to the selling of liquor to minors. A num- ber of ministers, representing the churches here, were in the party and all appeared to be disappointed at the action of the couneil Broderick of the license committee, when it‘came his time to report, requested fur- ther time, he, however, intimating that perhaps the committee would be able to make a report at the next meeting of the council to be held ome week from last night. The mayor handed down a veto of the res- olution passed by the council at the last meeting, in connection with the Bouth Omaha Independent Telephone company. This resolution directed that the company remove its poles and wires from the streets and alleys and desist from conm- struction work until after it had secured a franchise, but the council could not see it that way. All of the members of the council with the exception of Smith voted to turn the veto down and o the resolu- tion as now on the records stands, A short time ago a committee was ap- pointed to confer with officers of the Omaha Water company in relation to the placing of additional hydrants. Adkins, as chairman of this special committee, re- ported that the company declined to locate any more hydrants at the present time for the reason that there was fno money In sight to pay back bills or for hydrants now in use. The company, however, offered to locate forty-eight additional hydrants and furnish the same free to the city until October 17, 1904, providing a franchise or- dinance was passed granting to the com- pany a new contract for ten years from October 1904 to the same month in 1914. The council evidently thought well of the plan for the report was adopted without comment. Following this report came the reading of a franchise ordinance, or con- tract with the water company, giving the detalls of the agreement to be made be- tween the city and the water company. This was referred to the judiclary commit- tee. At the present time the city maintains 202 hydrants at an annual rental of $60. In case the ordinance requested is passed the rate will be reduced to $50 a year after 1904, A petition signed by about fifty citizens was presented asking the mayor to re- move W. L. Holland from his position as city electrician. Following this the clerk read a petition headed by the Cudahy Packing company and signed by not less than 600 voters asking that Holland be re- tained. Both petitions were placed on file, Later on fn the session the mayor handed down a communication declaring Holland's office vacant, and this also went on file, as the council has no voice in the matter at this time. Regular monthly reports were recelved from a number of heads of departments and placed on file. Citizens at Twenty-third and Monroe streets want a foot bridge con- structed across the creek at that point and the street and alley committee will investigate. Harry L. Cohn, assistant city attorney, filed & bond given by a surety company. A number of special tax cases came up for adjustment and were sent to the finance committee and city attorney. An ordinance was introduced amending the pound master ordinance and the usual committee will investigate. A sidewalk is wanted on the east side of Twentleth street from H to I, and an ordinance for this was introduced. After some few street and sidewalk re- pairs had been ordered the council ad- journed for one week. Board Sells Property. Last night the Board of Education dis- posed of a strip of land near where the Union Paeific depot stands to John J. Ryan for $2,100. Bids were advertised for and as Ryan was the higheet bidder there was no hesitancy in accepting his bid and his certified check. There was considerable talk about the purchase of lots at Twenty-fourth and R streets for a school building, but owing to the fact that two bids had been offered for the same plece of property at a former meeting and the general opposition of the people to erecting a buflding in that local- ity at this time, the proposition was laid over indefinitely. There was considerable talk about the matter, but when it came to a vote the motion to purchase the prop- erty was lost. Next came the bids for the construction of a two-room addition to the Hawthorne school. Three bids were received. J. H. McDonald, James Salmon and Joseph Dworak were the bidders. The contract was awarded to McDonald for $4,340. While the Salmon and Dworak bids were lower than that of McDonald, they were lald aside for the reason that the require- ments of the advertisement had not been complied with in regard to fillng certified checks with the bids. Two rooms will be added to the Albright school and three more rooms added to the High school annex. These rooms are to be of frame, and Architect Davis will pro- ceed at once to make the plans and draw up ‘the specifications. At the suggestion of Morrill the annual levy, which had been set at 156 mills, was reduced to 8 mills on account of the increase in valuation Adjourned until the mext regular meet- ing Workmen Temple. C. W. Miller, chalrman of the Anclent Order of United Workmen building com- mittee stated yesterday that the com- mittee had appointed James M. Kenney as manager and that he would hereafter have charge of the work under the direct super- vision of the committee. The plan is to commence grading on the site at Twenty- fifth and M stre the latter part of this week or at the latest the first part of next week. The foundations will be laid and every preparation made for a big celebra- tion on the day the corner stone is lald. As the members of the committee are en- gaged during the day, it was deemed ad- visable to employ a man to devote bis en- tire time to the management of the af- fairs of the committee. Many Washout An inspection yesterday afiernoon shows that many of the unpaved streets had been washed out and it will cost the city a large sum of money to repalr the damage. No work can be done during the present stage of the weather, but it is understood that arrangements will be made as soon as possible to repair the damage. When the streets get dried out the road machine will be put to work and the streets placed in first-class condition all over tha city, Petty Thieves.

KIRK & COMPANY, CHICAGO White Russian w2 St vas yesterday to the police was in the nature of a hard luck story. The citizen in the case had laid in a supply of meat and veg tables to lust over Sunday. When break- fast time came he sald that all he found in the fcebox was three onions and the cake of ice. He is thankful that the thieves did not take the refrigerator. The guests who had been invited to dinner were e corted to a hotel for something to eat. In one instance the sneaks carried off re- trigerator and contents. Every day the police round up a lot of vagrants, but it is hardly thought that these transient visitors commit these depredations. Chief Brigegs is of the opinion that there is & gang of local thieves operating here and he is en- deavoring to find out who the leader is. Boys Destroy Property. Warrants were lssued yesterday after- noon for the arrest of about sixteen boys who will be brought before the police judge for the malicious destruction of property.
