P I T2l 2 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Mount and Lobeck Engese in a Wordy Warfare During Meeting. BUT NO BLOWS FOLLOW | | LIE PASSED, { ftor Proposition pecial Se | Arouses, Member from the Fift *_ Who Sails Inte Member from the Seventh Vigorously. ges of the proceedings, City Comp- \troller Westberg missed one of the most @pirited scenes that has been emacted in ithe council chamber for many monthe. The e was passed, fists were shaken and desks [pounded with unwonted vehemence. For s moment it looked as though Councilmen Tobeck and Mount would eurely come to- jwether in a fistio encounter, yet Mr. West- [berg slept peacefully through it all and !@oubtiess dreamed of coasting down a to- {Boggan slide of moonbeams on bis new au- 'lMlm Then' someone poured dil on Ithe troubled waters, the Mount-Lobeck in- eldent passed and the council proceeded ‘Wwith its business. Btill Mr. Westberg slept The trouble between Lobeck and Mount |hinged on a special bond ordinance by which it s proposed to vote $200,000 in bonds to cancel the city's floating indebt- |edn, Mount moved that a epecial meet- ing of the city council be held at 10 o'clock this morning to put It upon its passage. Lobeck objected. Why Lobeck Objected “I am opposed to that ordinance,” sald Lobeck, “because Mr. Burkley here, who 48 posted on the city's finances, tells me it 48 as full of holes as a skimmer. It needs revision and amendment and should be re- ferred back to the committee.” “On the contrary,” sald Mount, “the or- dinance has been carefully drawn and is all right. I went over it today with the 'G"Y treasurer."” “No, you didn’t go over it with the city treasurer,” retorted Lobeck, “‘because the city treasurer's office was not open lur} | business today. Mount leaped to his feet. “I'l] show the gentleman that he lies—" to eleep Jast night during the ' , “Sh-h-h!"" cautloned Zimman, “you'll fwake him up,” indicating Westber; “That- he lles,” repeated Mount, “when {he says I didn’t go over it With the treas- ‘urer. T went in &t the back door.” Lobeck, with his face very close to that Yof Mount and his fists clenched as for an rupnurcul. hissed: “Yes, you went in at the {back door! That's the way you do busi- |mess! And mow you're trylng to go in at 'lho back door again and have this crooked |orainance sneaked through at a special session! But I'll be there, sir, to watch fouts Will Hold Speelal Session. A vote wae called for and upon roll call {1t was declded to hold the special session. | Mr, Westberg’s deep and regular breath- | ing almost approached a snore. Colonel Alexander Hogeland, who was | present, made & speech in favor of a curfew { ordinance, which had been placed upon its {@rst reading. The ordinance was referred [ to the judiclary committee. The veto of Acting Mayor Karr of the | 84,000 ftem in the salary ordinance by t:luh it was proposed to_make a payment 'of that amount on the lot at Bleventh and loward streets, was read and, upon roll oall, was sustained by a unanimous vote. ‘The reason given for the veto was that he item should not have been included the ealary ordinance. A mote from C. B. Denney, offering to I to the city for $11,000 a lot 66x133 ifeet at the southwest corner of Twelfth and Jackson streets, to be used as the ite for a fite engine house, was read and to the committee on public prop- jerties and buildings. The lot at Eleventh nd Howard streets, for which the city as contracted, will cost $14,000. , At 10:30 Mr. Westberg was still asleep. r About Briek Paving. ;M ayor Moores' veto of a concurrent reso- }ution, making it optional with the Board jof Public Works whether the guaranty on rick pavements be one year or five years, 4nstead of an arbitrary five years, as here- Jtofore, was the cause of a running debaf |Which lasted for nearly an hour. The com- munication accompanying the veto sald, among other things, that “almost any kind of & brick will last a year,”” and that the property owners,should be protected by a flonger guaranty. On this point City En- |gineer Rosewater spoke in part as fol- lows: ““There are some streets on.which better results could be secured by the five-year |8uaranty, and others, where traffic is light, where the one-year guaranty would be jpreferable. This resolution makes it op- | tional with the board whether the guar- anty shell be ome or five years. The trouble is, the people are paying too much for these long-time guaranties. If we are {pormitted to reduce the time on some Streets to one year, we can get cheaper brick pavements, and the effect of this will be to make cheaper asphalt pave- |ments, and asphalt pavements are what ,the people want.” ! Upon roll call the veto of the mayor ‘was sustalned by a vote of 2 to 6, and the |resolution was ' killed. Fines and Licenses Collecte The report of Lee E. Grier, clerk of police court, for the month of June, was read and referred to the city comptroller. |The report shows that fines collected for {the month amount to $284; costs, $375.50; ;state collections, $21; total, $680.50. , The report of S8am W. Scott, license in- wpoctor, showed that a total of $852 had been collected for licenses during the month of June. The principal items were: Circus, dog loenses, $170; lunch wagons, $150. A petiiion eigtied by C. D. Hutohinson and | elghteen oth asking that a viaduct be bullt acrass the Belt Line tracks at the in- tersection’ of Seward street, was read and ‘reterred to the committes on street im- provements and viaducts. The tax commissioner was allowed $2,000 in addition to the amount already appro- priated for that purpose t6 be used in im- proving the 1903 assessment. One hundred and ffty dollars was appro- priated from the general fund to improve “Funston avenue from Southeast avenue to the Intersection of same with the highway known as Gibson road.” It is proposed that this improvement will enable the people of Gibeon to get out of the river bottome without having to climb a 50 per cent grade. Locating Watering Troug! A resolutien introdiced by Mr. Lobeck providing for the location of eleven hor watering troughs and hydrants, was odopted. The resolution, as originally introduced pro- vided for seventeen hydrants, but, over Mr. Lobeck’s protest, it was reduced to eleven. They will be located as follows: At the northeast corner of Sherman av nue and Nicholas street, on Sherman nue, At the northeast corner of Nineteenth and Isard streets, on Isard street n the west side of x-meenm Jireet about sixty Teet south of On the west side Thlrlumh street about sixty feet north "ot Dodge s On" the “west_ side of Thirteenth strest about sixty feet north of Howard street. On the south side of Jackson street just east of Bixteenth street. On the south side of Jackson street be- tween Tenth and Eleventh streets, On the west side of Seventeenth street about half way between Farnam and Har- ney streets. On Farnam street at about®*what ‘would be_the intersection of Twes d street. On the gouth side of Caj avenue just west of Eleventh street. On the north side of Harmey street just east of Tenth street. As Mr. Westberg wi till asleep at this hour, 11:10, the council adjourned without awdkening him. The lights were turned out and the doors locked. It Is reported that Zimman is preparing a bill to collect from him for a night's lodging. COURTLAND'S FOURTH, Great Naval ttle on Lake, Battle, Drilly, Ete. Few summer resorts in the United States offer a more varied program of free A tractions than does Courtland beach for the Fourth. In addition to the regular free attractions, which for variety excels any- thing heretofore offered, many special fea- tures have been secured that patrons may all have a most enjoyable day. The very finest merry-go-round in this country has been put in at Courtland. It is by far the largest and most expensive. Imported from Germany at a cost of $15,000, with an organ that alone cost $3,000. It is trimmed with fancy beaded lacework and ia the only carrousal in the United States with four animals. east. This new ad- ditlon will please the children, as well as the more matured patrons. There will, as usual, be two balloon ascensions and parachute jumps by Prof. Sam Murphy, the recognized champion in his most daring and dangerous profession. The Thurston Rifies will camp on Lake Courtland in’ the beautiful picnic grove on the 3d and 4th, giving drills and sham battles. This alone insures an im- mense attendance on both days. On the night of the Fourth, the most novel and historfcal exhibition ever given an Omaha audiénce will be the grand re- production of the great naval historic event, the battls between the Monitor and Merrimac, the them so-called Ironclads. This most grand event will close amid the grandest pyrotechnic display. This great event takes place immediately in front of the large pavillon, upon the Jake, where thousands may, unobstructed, view the en- tire prnflucur from beginning to the grand final [ — Yellowstone National Park. This famous National Park offers to the tourist -and sightseer more novelties and curiosities than perhaps any other spot on earth. The stage ride from Monida ls through scenery hardly inferior to the park itself, and this ride is one of the many enjoyments of the trip. The New Route to the Yellowstone is via the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line railroads to Monida, Mont., thence dally by palatial Concord Coaches of the Monida & Yellowstone Stage company to all points In the Yellowstone Natlonal Park.

BUREAU IS NOW INOPERATIVE For that Reason No Oonfliot for Immigran Business is Expeoted. NORTHWESTERN DOUBLE TRACK COMPLETE It is Part of General Plan to Am Facilities Between Chicago a Pacific Const for Int: oceanic Trafli Local traffic officials persigtently deny. the recurring statements of an. imminent con- flict between western lines for the immi- gration busines It is Insisted from abroad that owing to the recent withdrawal of the Rock Island and Union Pacific from the Immigration bureau & war for this el of traffic 1s Inevitable. The theory advanced is that the Harri- man lines, in conjunction with eastern im- migration_agencies, will be pitted againat those companies which remained in the bureau, and a fight to a finish for the im- migrant business will be brought on. This theory Is answered by officials of the roads which have left the association in this way: *'The agrdement entered into by the roads originally composing the Immigration bureau is practically annulled by the withdrawal of the important roads and there can be no contest on this b Those lines which did not formally an- nounce their “withdrawal from this com- pact cannot mow be depended on to stay together on any further proposition of t kind, since the original agreement has tallen through.” It is not at all unlikely, however, that the several lines will, separately and thelr individual responsibility, engay contest of this kind sooner or later, and i: will not be a very great revelation it the Harriman lines hang together on this propo- sition as they do on all others, but it is denied that they will be opposed by a union of the other roads. Northwestern's Double Track. The Northwestern road is now in a posi- tion to officlally announce the completion of every mile of its double track running continuously from Chicago to Omaha. It spans Illinols and Towa and enters Ne- braska with very little detour and makes next to the most direct route of any other of the competing lines. Its total mileage for the trip is 491. The officlals of the road are laylng great stress upon the fact that thelr's is the only continuous double track in their sharp competition for the fast time record. The double track to Omaha is part of the general plan of the Northwestern, Ugion Pacific and Southern Pacific to amplify the facilities between Chicago and the Pacific coast, which is the basic scheme for enter- ing the transoceanic fleld of transportation. Change Helps Omaha. The taking over of the Kansas City & Omaha rallroad by the Burlington is al- ready resulting in a direct benefit to Omaha. The assumption of the operation of the small road by the large one dates from yesterday, and yesterday also the freight service from Omaha to the terri- tory tapped by the Kansas City & Omaha ‘was vastly improved. While the trafic has heretofore been concentrated on St. Joseph, through the St. Joseph & Grand Island lin it now centers on Omaha, through the Bur- lington. Heretofore Fairfleld, the connection of the St. Joseph & Grand Island with the s City & Omaba, has been tho cen- point. Yesterday this center was trifug moved to Button. still in Clay county, but the Burlington conmection on the maln line i from Omaha west. Previously St. Joseph and even Kansas Olty freightage has bad all the advantage of train service Into this rich territory over that from Omaha. Now, however, freight leaving Omaha in the aft- ernoon will reach the towns involved on the tollowing day at these hours in the morn- ing: Lyman, 4:50; Lushtom, 6:16; McCool Junetion, York, Benedlct, 7:30; Stromsburg, 8:00; Verona, 8:25; Clay Cen- ter, 8:65; Fairfleld, 9:35; Spring Ranch, 10:15; Paullne, 10:45; Leroy, 11:06; Rose- land, 11:50. And the following towns, for- merly reached only at night or the second day following, will be reached in the aft- ernoon at these hours: Holstein, 12 Norman, 1:05; Minden, 1:50; Keene, 2 Wilcox, 2:50; Ragan, 3:26; Huntley, 3:46; Alma, 4:15. Anoth Trip te Okobojl. On Baturday evening, July 12, the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul will run an- other of its fishing excursion tralns to Lake Okoboji, returning to Omaba Mon- day morning. This gives the whole of Sunday at one of the most pleasant places greached by cars. Many Omaha people bave already taken up their summer resi- dence in cottages at the lake and are en- joylng the beautles of the place to the fullest extent. Railway Notes onals. H.

ENGLISH KNOWN IN OMAHA Man Killed in Colorado Wreck Cut a Wide Swath Here at One Time. Franics M. English who was killed iIn the wreck on the Colorado Midland near Colo- rado Springs Suuday, was well known to a number of persons in Omaha, especially among the cricket players. In 1§98 he vis- ited Omaha with the Denver Cricket club, of which he was president, and his visit here was notable for the lavish manner in which he entertained at the Dellone hotel. Mr. English had & most varied and ro- mantic career and was & man of many attainments. He not only an able mu- siclan, but Was well read in the law, was a man of letters, an architect and an all around athlete. Born of an eminent Eng- lish family, his father being a high naval officer, he had all the advantages that wealth and position could give him as a young man. He graduated from Oxford university and was admitted to the bar. He left the law and became a priest in the Roman Cathollc church. Not satisfied with the church, he drifted to America and took charge of a school in Florida. From there he went. to Leland Stanford univer- sity, California, as professor of Greek. While there he was married to a California heiress, but she shortly after secured a divorce from him. He then drifted to Honolulu, where he attracted the attention of Queen Liluoka- lina and became her private secretary. There he married the daughter of the min- ister of agriculture, who was also an helr- ess. This led to his return to America and he went to Denver to manage the mine of his brother-in-law, Dr. Walters. While In Denver he entertalned lavishly and his home was the resort of all that was fashionable afid wealthy. Two years ago the mine petered out, his wife left him and He was forced to glve up his luxurfous home. He went to Colorado Springs, where his musical abilities secured him the position of organist in the Epls- copal church there. His second wife, whom he wedded in Honolulu, had been married twice before, both of her former husbands meeting vio- lent deaths. Her first husband was drowned and her second was found on the beach at Honoluly, with his throat cut. And now her third husband met a violent death in a railway acclden . st v S Too Great'm Risk. In almost eveéry“theighborhood someone bas died trom an attack of colic or cholera morbus, often before medicine could bde procured or a physiclan summoned. A re- 1iable, remedy for these diseases should be ept at hand. The risk is too great for aayone to take, Chamberlain’s Collo, Cholers and Dlarrhoea Remedy has un- doubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suffering than any other medicine in use. It can always be depended upon. Oil in Sarpy County. Yesterday afternoon a party consisting of Major R. 8. Wilcox, Charles E. Black, Mel Uhl, Fred Paffenrath, H. K. Burket, Max Goldsmith, R. F. Hodgin, Rome Miller, George Lee, Robert Haaker, J. D. Weaver and the Ames Bros. were ex- tended an invitation through Mr. George Hall, Frank Dunlap, Harry Nott and George E. Ady, officers of tie Omaha Pe- troleum Gas and Coal company, to visit their ofl wells in Sarpy county, nine miles west of Omaha. There {s little question about there being ofl, but whether in suffi- clent quantity remains to be seen. The company has secured a lease on 9,000 acres and is 8o confident that it is now bullding a large derrick and will begin at once boring for oll. The well is located in a ravine, close to the Paplo and just to the south of a ledge of yellow sandstone that crops out at the surface and extends for some distance up and down the stream. In drilling Mr. Hall makes the 'statement that the following geological formation will be found: Sedi- mentary deposit, yellow and red sandstone, blle and gray clay, dark shale. hard sye- nite and dark cream-colored sand or ofl rock. In the latter rock the ofl will be found and if the gas pressurs is sufficlent the ofl will flow over the top of the hole, producing & gusher. If there is a lack of g8s precsure the ofl will be pumped. In elther event, 1t the oll is found in quantities it cannot help proving of great benefit to Omaha and the country. The formation of the country is such that with one pumping station the ofl can be piped into Omaha, from whence it will be shipped in tank cars to the refineries, wherever they may be located. Relative to the oll, there is no question sbout it being along the Paplo. At ome point mot within a fow yards where the well is being put down the crude ofl out through the rock formation and has formed & pool. This ofl is black and heavy and burns with & blue flame, emitting a strong odor. An anyalysis shows that it is close to 75 per cent pure, with a parafine base, indicating that it is equal, if not bet- ter, than the best.oll of Penusylvania or California.

Max- well, executive chalrman of the National Irrigation assoclation, will take lunch at the Omaha Commercial club with the exec- utive committee of that organization. Mr. Maxwell was expected yesterday, but post- poned the engagement. The meeting will be the occasion of a disc: of the irrigation bill recently passed and made a law. It is stated that Omaha is vastly concerned in the benefits to be derived from the expendi- ture of the $5,000,000 thus disposed for irri- gation improvements, and steps which the city's interests will take in this conmection will be discussed at that time. It is ex- pected that Omaha will have considerable voice in the distribution of much of the fund and its judicious expenditure through the northwest so as to swell the population of & territory tributary to Omaha y SCHOOL CHILDREN INCREASE All but Three of the Oensus Enumerators Finish Their Work. GAIN OF FIVE HUNDRED IS ESTIMATED Secretary of Education Board Thinks Mistake Was Made in South Dise trict of the Eighth Ward, ‘Which Shows Loss. Secretary Burgess of the Board of Bdu- cation is praying with his face toward the east section of the Sixth ward, because that section will, he thinks, determine the total of the school census of Omal In- cidenally, it will determine how much money Omaha will get from the state, as the state pays about $1.50 for each child whose name appears on the roll of the school census enumerators. Yesterday the secretary had recelved the books of all enumerators except those of the south district of the Third ward, the south of the Seventh and the east of the Sixth. The first dlstrict mentioned is known to have shown a gain of about 250 over the total of 2,178 returned last year; the second mentioned is known to have about held its own, 8o it leaves with the third member of the trio the determination of the unknown quantity. Estimate by the Secr ry. All that Secretary Burgess permits him- selt to expect Is that it will hold its own and equal last year's showing of 2,153. It it does this the city will this year have a school census total that wiM be larger by 500 names than that of 1901, for, with the returns already in and estimating the totals of the missing districts at their last year total, the secretary has 30,401 names, or 251 more than the 1901 total, which was 80,150, Secretary Burgess sald: “The books came Iu In good condition, and I am much pleased with the work as done by the enumerators. I am not, how- ever, quite satisfied with the total for the south district of the Eighth ward, which 18 1,425, or 302 less than last year's total, Wil Make Investigation. “I am afrald there has been omission somewhere, and 1 shall investigate. Enu- merators may make errors of pne kind or another, no matter how conscientiously they try, and that they can overlook some children s skown by the fact that the school census returns gave Omaha 10,806 children between the ages of 8 and 14, whereas the actual enroliment of such chil- dren In the schools was 11,607." The secretary stated that the election of board officers will be the only unusual business of next Monday night's meeting, as the report of the school year just closed cannot be completed before September 1. In the census return the largest gain was in the south district of the Second ward, which raised from 2,814 to 3,09. The larg- est loss was that of the south district of the Eighth ward, which fell from 2,481 to 2,027, A valuable adjunct to a happy meal, Cook's Imperial Extra Dry Champagne.
