Py S D T A ME TSR YRR IR R A A N I ¥E s R T A T R TS, MILLION FOR TPROVEMENTS ‘What Oonsolidation of Omaha and Oounoil Bluffs Railways Means, BIG NEW POWER HOUSE TO BE BUILT Secretary Morse Returns from New York and Makes Official Statement Regardin Comwolid, And Work 1A Prospect. W. V. Morse, secretary of the Omaiia Btreet Raliway company, returned yesterday morning from & visit to New York City, whers he has been for several weeks. He sald: “Arvangements have mnearly been com- pleted whereby the Missouri river bridge at the foot of Douglas street, the Council Blufts street Fajlway lines, the Lake Man- awa_line, the Suburban Raliway company and kindréd ihterests will all pass to the management and control of the Omaha Strest Railwdy company. “This means much for the two citles. Better rervice, better cars and better tracks require. This change During the coming year t will be o everybody obtaining rafiway sady under wa; the old tracks modt entirely repl |knOWS lav mumcu; imaterials, still plans are for obtafning the material and the comple- Jtton of the work outlined. Improvements in Prospeet. “In this comnection it may be of interest wtae that plans are also well under way the recomstruction of all the old tracks of the Omaba Street Railway company, the purcbasing of new equipment and the erec- tion ‘of a very large and up-to-date power house; all of which will entail an expendi- ture of more than $1,000,000, but the Omaha eet Rallway company recognizes its abil- ity to bandle them and will do so with vigor. Bome suburban llnes of consideradble importance to the two cities are under con- siderstion, but as yet nothing definite can be andounced regarding them. “A great forward movement lies in the immediate ' future for Omaha, and these ‘expenditures, coupled with expendi- by other corporations and private fo- dividule and relnforced by the gigantlc erops mow almost certain, should make 1908 ‘the bainer year for Omaha people.” New Power House. Bpeaking of the new power house, Mr. ‘Morse sald thiat the exact site bad not been dotermined upom, but that it might be erocted near the present station. '‘This will be used to supply power to the Nebraaka 1ines,” sald he, “while the power Bouse fn_Council Blufts will be used to supply power to the lines in Iowa. New machinery has recently been placed in that ‘house and it will be improved otherwise.” ,Of the suburban lines mentioned one will be to Florence, the material for that being on band. It will run from Twenty-fourth Amés avenue to Twenty-fourth streets, themcs west t Florence.

Broadwell, olerk of the district court, returns pext week o his desk the firsi communication that will confropt him will be one from th¥, Boasd of County Commis- sloners recommending that he dispense with the servicea of Allen T. Gow. Com- missioner Confolly said yosterday that he and at least two other rembers were cértain to vote to make such recommenda- tion when the board meets Saturday. Buch action ‘will Be the result of Mr. Gow having assigned to Attorney W. H. DeFrance for & oconsideratfon .his claim against the county for §1,450 and of De- France having secured this week from Judge Read W péremptory writ of man- damue orderis board to draw war- s for the nt. Chairman Hofeldt says that he expécts the warrants to be drawn today, but Comnoily predicts that the case will be carried into the su- preme court evVentually, The Gow clafm is for services renderad between June, (1800, and, July,' 1901, as referee in the old sults of k K. Moores against the county. on court ren- dered judgment it ordered that Moores pay Gow $520 and that ‘the county pay him (Gow) $1,480. After walting & yeer for his money Gow last month aseigned the claim against the county to DeFrance and De- France immediately {nstituted proceedings to collect. Moures Bad alréady pald what was due from him. Commissioner Conmolly sayst ““We won't stand for this, beeause the claim is . un- reasonable. When the of & referee came up and Gow, who-was imported from Lincoln by Albgn Frenk, then clerk of the court, was. recommended, we called him betore the board and asked what the serv- foe was likely to cost. He said that he thought it wouldn't be more than $300. The county attorney told us the ssme figure as his estimate, , But when Gow presented his bill it was $1,480, And when we asked for particulars he. #afd that the services of & Miss France, & stenographer, cost $600 and that she nesded the monsy. Two of us went to Miss France and she told us that she had aiready recéived $160 and that she expected to be phid another, $150 and that $300 would be faln compensation for what she had done. Later, perbaps after Gow had seen ber, she talked .to us again and sald that she had beén mistaken and that $600 was the amount due her, All this time Gow was drawing hls §100.per month trom the county for his regular work, Now he has forced the iskue and we propose to get his scalp and to garry the case into the supreme court.” | Y NEBPRASKA BUNDES SAENGERFEST.

Chairman Goss of the county central com- mittee thinks it probable that the I"vllb“- can county convention will be on Saturday, September 20, with the primariss the day previous. Yesterday morning he said: “I have no personal preference in dates and have mot bad expression from other members of the committes, but it just oc- curs to me in glancing over the calendar that as the usual desire seems te be for date late in September we will have to slip in before the Ak-Sar-Ben festiviti formal “I have not been informed of the plans of the congressional committee, but if, as 1 inter, it is not favorable to the Crawford system, I dou't see why one convention shauldn’t do the nominating of both tickets and save the of an additional primary, which 1s quite an ftem." —_—_— Notice, Ondets! i An important meeting of all ex-High sehool cadets for Monday evening, 7 p. m.

Strikes Her in the Fauce. ‘Florence Barker screamed and started to run, when the man released the elder sis- ter and turned his attention to her. He struck her several times in the face, black: ing both eyes and causing them to almost shut. Her face was also badly bruised. By this time several of the residents of the vicinity were attracted by the scream- ing of the girls, and the man released the younger sister, jumped back in the weeds and made his escape. At the time he grabbed the girle he wore a white hand- kerchief over the lower part of his face, but in the scuffie this was torn partially off and the sist are sure their assallant was Bugene Townsend. On several occasions Townsend has at- tempted to force his attentions on the Qw of the sisters, dnd as he had been repul repeatedly it is belleved his action was the result of jealousy. He s 21 years of age and ' resides at Forty-second and Fort streets. He works at Armour's in South Omaha.
