That Mercer will fatl in any scheme he may have of comstituting himself the ac- credited delegate of the strikers to “pull off” the settlement with the company, the strikers almost to a man declare to be a certainty. “He cannot ingratiate himself in our affections to any such extent as that,” sald a prominent strike leader this morning. “We have taken our stand on that settlement proposition and our attl- tude has been plainly stated in print, so the public need not be decelved as to our position In the matte No confirmation of the report that a ‘meeting of the Union Pacific board of ai- Fectors has been called for the 15th could be obtained at headquarters. > Officials of the company gave out the state- ment yesterday morning that a cloudburst ocourred Wednesday at Sidney, filling the roundhouse with two feet of water; tracks were washed out at Margate, a few miles ‘west of Sidney, and heavy rains have done damage &t various other points miong ine Toad between.

This bill does not include vertain extras supplied for the foundation. At the meeting of the bullding and grounds committee this week proposals for the brick work on the superstructure will be passed. upon. Previous to allowing the bill of Hamann the board of directors discussed the musical festival and the sale of tickets. It was sald that at this time the money is in sight for the payment of all expenses, but that to make the advance sale equal to that of last year about 700 tickets must be sold during the week. The committee belleves there will be litfle trouble in selling this number, as the people visited this year have purchased more liberally than last r, and the only reason for not having & ger sale is the fact that so few people have been solicited. Reports from places where the band has been this summer are complimentary to the work of the organization, and it is be- lloved by members of the promotion com- mittee that the gate receipts will be larger than at any previous festival. The tent will be in position for wirlng today, but the architect has not yét completed his specifications for. that work.

Robinson was brought down from Mitoh- ell, Neb., about two woeks ago, by a United States deputy marshal. He was charged with selling liquor without having a license. But down In Nuckolls county he was wanted in connection with an arson case. It is sald that if Joe consents to be a valuable ‘witness In this matter he will not be drawn in defendant.

MARSHAL HAS A STEAMBOAT Arm of Law Reaches Out and Takes Henrietta Into Custody. — Unless the parties who are no# handilng the steamboat Henrletta are able to fix up a bond arrangement Wwith United States Marshal Matthewson, the steamer will cease its trips up and down the river. Under the claim for labor and material brought against the boat by the South Omaha Pon- toon Bridge and Supply company in the United Btates circuit court & few days ago the marshal bas taken posession. He has put Pat Quiley in charge of the floater, and things will remain in that condition until & bond is given for the boat, awaiting the bearing of the matter. The marshal al- lowed Henrfetta to make its regular trip Wednesday night, however, and will not lock it vp tight till ample time has been given for the desired arrangement to be con- sumrmated. —— NEXT SATURDAY, Lake Okoboji and Return $3.00, Via the Milwaukee Railway.

PROSPECT FOR NEW HOSPITAL NOT GOOD Proposition of Dr, MeCrann Conw ered Out of the Question by Mem- bers of City Counell=Magie Oity Gowstp. President Miller of the Board of Bduca- con saM last night that two additional rooms were needed in the old Fourth ward to relieve the pressure at the Lowell school. An. effort has been made to find suitable rooms in the locality desired, but as no vacant houses or rooms appear to be avail- able at this time, the Lowell school will remain with more than its quota of pupils untfl additional rooms can be secured. Only & year ago the Whittler school was erected west of the Burilngton tracks and now this has been found too small to ao- commodate the children applying for admis slon. for Lowell, it was suggested tha an addition be built this year, but as there was some objection the buildings and grounds committee deferred action until the nine members of the board would consent to the expenditure of the money necessary to erect the addition. Two additional rooms are being bullt at Hawthorng, school and these will be com- pleted when the first semester opens. This will help out the overcrowded condition of Oentral school and will provide for a num- ber of the younger puplls. The three rooms being built at the High school annex are nearly under roof, but the bullding will not be completed before October and may not be occupied before the close of the first semester. As for the addition to the Albright school, two rooms are being built, but these will not be finished before some time in No- vember, A partition has been placed In one of the large rooms at the Jungmann school and the change will accommodate quite a number of pupils who have heretofore been sent to Central school. Hven with the improvements and addl: tions mentioned Superintendent McLean and members of the board assert that more rooms are needed on mccount of the rapid growth of the city and the corresponding increase of enrollments. That Hospital Proposition. There does not seem to be any immediate prospect of Mayor Koutsky carrying out his idea of erecting a building for hospital purposes here. What the mayor would want would be a binding contract with the Hospital association to hold for a term of years. In this event he says that he might see his way clear to erect the kind of a bullding needed. As no assurance for a long-time contract can be given the project as far as Mayor Koutsky is concerned has practically fallen through. As far as the proposition of Dr. McCrann 18 cohcerned it is comsidered entirely out of the question at fhis time by members of the council. The city will be asked to as- sure the rental of the bullding for a term of yeais ai & iaie ast 2 month and will then be compelled to pay for supplies, etc. The outlay would amount, ®0 it Is stated by members of the finance committee, to mot less than $126 a month, and as there is no fund from which this money can be drawn the McCrann proposi- tion will certainly be tabled. One of the city officials said last night that the only way out of the dificulty would be for the women of the Hospital associa- tion to secure promises of a certaln amount of revenue from the corporations. In the event that a certain amount could be raised in this way. the city might manage to make up the difference. ‘. It is stated that there is great need of & change of location and the hospital man- Agers are very anxious to have something done before winter sets in, A steam heated flat in needed, better operating rooms are wanted and more room for patients will be demanded in case a change is made. Purchases More Trackage Ground, Transfer of the ground now occupied by the Bradford-Kinsler Lumber company were made yesterday and now this property be- lengs to the Union Stock Yards company. This property contains a little over seven acres and is bounded on the north by G street and on the south by the Belt Line tracka, A. V. Kinsler and wite deeded their portion of this land to W, J. Kenyon, gen- eral manager of the Union Stock Yarde company for $12,600. D. C. Bradford deeded his portion to the Union Stock Yards com- pany, the consideration belng for the same amount. Then Mr. Kenyon transfers \his fitle to the ground to the Union Stock Yards company for a consideration of §1. For a number of years the stock yards company has been anxious to acquire this propsety, but the differences of opinion be- tween Kinsler and Bradford prevented a consummation of the deal until yesterday. The ground acquired will be used by the stock yards company for switch yards and tragkage. 135 than Men Will Not Work. All of the force employed by the city on the street gang quit work yesterday fore- noon because August Miller, street had been turned down by the labor unions. Bome weeks ago the council adopted a reso- lution requesting the mayor to see to it that none but union labor be employed on the strects. This met with the sanction of the mayor and then a request went out that Imur."g- streef . foreman was to either Join a log or tesign. Miller put in his applicatioh to American Federation of Labor, No. 7112, and he was turned down. Hence the strike. Not a single union man ‘will work for the city on the streets now as long as Miller is retained as foreman. Mayor Koutsky said that in the face of the action of the unions of South Omaha all he could do would be to request Miller to resign. Members of the street and alley committee of the co) now refuse to reo- ognize Miller as street foreman and they are waiting for some action on the part of the mayor. In the meantime city improve- ments will be at & stdndstiill. Repairs Comuence Saturday. City Eogineer Beal was notified yester- day afternoon that on Saturday of thie week the Grant Paving company would com- mence making repairs on Twenty-fourth street. This pavement is to be thoroughly repaired. Concrete is to cost 75 cents a yard and asphalt §1.50 & yard. The total cost will be in the neighborhood of $2,000. Hugan Has Trouble. A. N. Hagan, a dentist having offices in the Mack block, was brought before Justice Levy yesterday afternoon on the charge of asssult. It appears that Constable Bdward Kane and Attorney Pancoast sttempted to serve & writ of attachment on the property in the posscasion of Hagan. The claim was by the Chase Combination Dental ants, continued until September 29. This is the second continuance of the cases and it was asserted acound the city hall yesterday that there did net seem to be any immedi- Ate prospect of the cases coming up. Sewers Are Clogged. ‘The recent ralns have clogged many of the manholes and sewers all over the city and yesterday Welsh; chairman of the commit- tee on viaducts, streets and alleys, was around making s minute of the work to be done when the strebt force is reorganized. In the first place fhe plan is to flush tke sewers and then make arrangements to have the openings of the manholes kept free form refuse. When there is a heavy rain the manholes are clogged with all kinds of refuse from the streets and the storm water frequently runs into cellars, thereby ecaus- ing considerable damage.

OMAHA, Aug. 14.—To the Editor of The Bes: As & rule I pay no attention to false or misleading statements Iin newspapers that concern myself, belleving that they carry their own refutation, but I depart trom my custom for the reason that Mr. Lee Spratien has just called my attention to an article in The Bee of late date that does him and myselt an injustice. Some anony- mous liar informs the reporter, and without inquiring as to the truth of the statement the paper publishes, that the action of the police and fire commissioners in regard to the market house on Capitol avenue was in- stigated by me through Mr. Spratien, and that gentleman feels that it is due him that I should state the facts. I never exchanged & word with Mr. Lee Spratien on the subject of the market house until & few moments since, when he spoke to me of the paper statement, and suggested that it was un- fair to him as a public officlal, and I have never spoken to any other one of the com- mission or to the board collectively, on that subject, and have had nothing whatever to do with the market house location since the ordinance edtablishing it was passed over the veto of the mayar by the city council. In & letter published, I think In The Bee, many months ago I called attention to the great need of a market house in this city. ‘The cost of living here is enhanced probably one-third because Omahs is without one. The modern market house iz an essential adjunct of our present civilization, and the municipality that la without onme is provin- cial and behind the times. In both the greater and the lesser c¢ities, where they are estal ed, the retall grocers and butchers find them advantageous and not a detriment, for. the progressive ones among them maintain stalls that are well supplied on market days as an adjunct to their reg- ular places of business. This is notadly so in all eastern cities, and I am particul familiar with the condition in Philadeiphia, But whether the il grocers favor a market house or not.the greatest good to the greatest number, to-wit: the consumers, demands its erection. An uncovered market the outlaying about Omahs. & The ordinange haying been passed and that law _requiring the maini market place on Capitol avenue, tempor- arily until & buil ,could be erected, It was the sworn duty of the executive officers of the city, and especially the chiet execu- tive, to see to its enforcement—but we have ceased to expect the enforcement of law in view of the regular and continual disregard of enforced obedience to both state and mu- nicipal statutes and ordinances made for the correction of far greater evils than the lack of a market house. So long as open gambling and offences unmentionable are to g0 unpunished, and the offenders be fostered by the guardians of the law, it is a violent and unwarranted presumption that the minor requirements shall be obeyed. My desire is that Omaha should have a market house and eo that it is centrally lo- cated I bave mo choice as to site.

If the market house should be bullt o Cspitol avenue within one year I stand ready to be one of any number the Commercial club may designate (not less than five) to give 3500 to the city to aid in its erection, but if & market house can be erected elsewhere and not on Cap- itol avenue I stand ready to be one of the same pumber to donate twice that sum. ‘What i needed is & warket house, and I am ready to render material ald and give, rather than receive, to bring about that de- sirable result.

CHICAGO-OMAHA LINE NEAR COMPLETION President Fish Belleves Tel Serviee Will Prove Satistactory for Ratlroad Business—Roeck After Mail Contract, Within thirty days the Illinols Central expects to have its new telephone eircult established between Omaha and Chicago. C. F. Annett of Chicago, superintendent of telegraph of the Illinois Central, is in this city perfecting arrangements for the com- pletion of the line of communication from the lake metropolis to the Gate City. Mr. Annett says a large force of men Is now at work on m section of the new telephone line between Fort Dodge aad Councll Bluffs, and it is expected that this section will be completed within ten days. Another force Is also at work on the sec- tion from Dubuque to Fort Dodge, which section probabiy will be finished time to form the connection from Omaha and Coun- ell Blufts to Chlcage within thirty days. The line is already built and ready for use between Chicago and Dubuqué, so when the work just outlined is completed a circuit will be established from the main office in Chicago to Om taking in the Illfnols Central agencles over Iowa. As the new eystem of telephone lines is established over a large portion of the Ilinols Central's main lines the ex west will bring Omaha and intervening tions In direct communication with Chicago and all the other points now included in this system. For some time various rallroads over the country have been discussing the feasibility of supplanting its telegraphic service with telephones and the Illinols Central is a ploneer in the adoptiom of this remarkable innovation. Prominent rallroad men have differed radically upon the practicability of such a method and, even though Presi- dent Fish seems thoroughly convinced of the ultimate success and wisdom of this departure, others equally as prominent and active in the great raliroad world are still disposed to question his theories. How- ever, the head of the Illinois Central is proceeding with his plans of installing tele- phones over his place, gradually, ments. While conservatives argue that the new system, good in itself for general office purposes, can never surpass telegraphy for general rallroad use, those who, after pro- found thought upon the subject, have been led to the extreme step of adopting ti tem have not misgivings as to results. It is claimed that the telepho: will give more accurate, definite and as quick serv- ice as the telegraph and in the end provide & material retrenchment in the operating expenses of the road. To Enter Mail Carrying Competitl A report has crept into rallroad circles that with the inauguration of its new special Chicago-Los Angeles train service the Rock Island will enter the. mail carry- ine sompetition as a direct rival of the other transcontinental roads now engaged in that pursuit. A new mail route, it is #aid, will be opened up by this road that will make a material change in the future distribution of government contracts. No official ‘canfirmation of this report has been obtained, but it is regarded as having more than mere rumor back of it. The fact that the Rock Island claims a shorter route between Kansas City and El Paso and also from there on to Los Angeles than any other lifie, is cited as evidence that this road stands a good ichance of getting a slice of the governm~nt mail patronage. ‘When the equipment for this new train was announced it was found that s special new mall car service was among the list, and this s pointed to as an indication of the Rock Island's determination to get in this fleld.
