TALK ABOUT POWER PROJECT Bouthwest Improvement Olub Takes a Pre- liminary Tam at It. ANDREW ROSEWATER EXPLAINS PURPOSE Green E s Difculty of neing Such a Scheme Hedwed t with Unreasonable Restrictive Provisions, W. H A trial heat of the race to be run \Ilnl'h day night at the mass meeting in the eity council chamber over the Rosewater fran- chise ordinance was paced last evening betore the Southwest Improvement club at its regular meeting at Twenty-fourth and Leavenworth streets. City Engineer Rose- or was present to address the club on the subject of his proposed franchise. Coun- cflman Haseall, representing the opposition, was also present upon Invitation. City Attorney Connell, W. H. Green and C. W. Haller were present as regular club mem- bers. These five were the principals in an interesting, even though one-sided, debate. Mr. Rosewater, in the main address of the evening gave In a concise way the impor- tant pofnts in his proposition. He pointed out, as has been detalled in the papers and as is shown by his proposed ordinance a8 printed In The Bee, that this plan would mean for Omaha power and light at 100 and 200 per cent cheaper than the present rate; a source of power that would be an inducement for outsiders to invest their money in factories, business and all Omaha propositions here, and incidentally a lake some eight miles long by three wide, within thirty miles of this city for a summer resort. He showed that he intended to secure the immense power by storing up the waters of the Platte and Elkhorn rivers near the mouth of the latter by joining them together into a lake. Mr. Rosewater also explained his objec- tions to the sulstitute to his ordinance which has been submitted by Councilman Hascall. He objected chlefly to the first and fifth clauses of this substitute. The first of these specifies that the franchise rights shall terminate at the end of thirty years. Mr. Rosewater held that it was unfair to ask that he attempt to go into this work and bring capital to support it ‘when at the end of thirty years the entire Sffair might be taken away and leave the supporters nothing. The ffth clause de- clares that any assignee of these rights must first be approved by the mayor and council. The city engineer pointed out what his position would be In the event of a mayor and city council being elected who were interested in the advancement of the Interests of such a company as the Thomson-Houston Electric Light company. Haseall Has His Say. After Engineer Rosewater's address Councllman Hascall was called to the front. He touched briefly on the clausws of his substitute proposition to which Mr. Rosewater objected chlefly and dwelt at considerable length on the statement that the cla which Mr. Rosewater pointed out are entirely useless because they are already Incorporated in the city ordinances. Mr. Hascall was followed by Attorney Connell, who begged that an ordinance which meant so much to Omaha and its fu- ture be not hedged about with restriction 80 as 10 dlacourage It In any way. He bad faith fn the Rosewater proposition as the city engineer had drafted it. C. W. Haller rather favored Hascall's views, but stated that he looked forward with great rejoicing to the prospect of a canal being bullt. Finally W. H. Green came to the front with & boost for the Rosewater project. He spoke from personal experfence on the difficulties that would comfront Mr. Rose-' water it he attempted to interest eastern capitalists in a propositton hedged about with such restrictions as his not being al- 1owed & franchise until the completion of his power plant. Before the main discussion of the even- club ilked on the subject of im- the grade of Twenty-fourth street & committee will be named by the prosident to present a petition to the prop- erty owners asking their signatures to o request for a graded street PLANS FOR THE MAY FESTIVAL Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben Committee is Working with Musical Leaders. The May festival committee of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, consisting of Messrs. Luther Kountze, Mel Uhl and Ed- gar Allen, with full power to act in the premises, has come to an understanding with Mr. Thomas J. Kelly, organizer and conductor of the May Feetival choir, re- marding the requirements of the festival 1a the way of orchestral and vocal and io- strumental soloists, and Is now nego- (iating through Mr. Alfred Marschner with sastern managers for engagement of the dame.

Duet, Eugene Cowles sang triends last night. agaln to Omaha The cleared rostrum of a church was his “stage,” a dress suit wah his “costume.’ But the grandeur of his voice was left unchanged, and that was all his friends ofethe old Bostonians' days had hoped for or desired. It had the old immeasurable strength, the old unblemished smoothness and the old ca- pacity for arousing in human breasts those emotions that lie beyond the feach of any save the truly gifted. There was a time, perhaps, when there was propriety and justice In subjecting Mr. Cowles to that layman's criticism passed upon the entartainers of the stage, but years ago his gift, his genius and his wisely-directed effort carried him above and beyond that, and mow it is enough to eay that he has not deterlorated, has not descended so much as a single step .Chopin | from the high place upon which he stood when his friends in Omaha last heard him. As for this change of method, it is pleas ing rather than disappointing. He seems now to be singiug more directly to each Individual. r; to be telling ‘“‘me” rather than “the house” that he loves the sound of “The Horn;" that he has not “'Forgotten;'"" that he wishes to meet his pllot face to face when he has “Crossed the Bar;" that he still adores Peggy in her “Low-Backed Cai and that he glories in the ring of the hammer on the anvil. The consequence of this more persomal address is a more immediate personal re- sponse, and despite the fact that last night's assemblage far from filled the church, the salvos that greeted him upon each reappearance and the applause that lingered long after he had bowed himsolf from sight were of all the vigor and vol- ume that the place and occasion could countenance. Yet it must not be inferred that Mr. Cowles' announced solos and the old faver- ites that he gave In response to encores were the only meritorious numbers on the program. Without Mr, Cowles, Mr. Cowles’ company would still be a strong organiza- tion of entertainers. In any other company than such s, each of the thrée might shine as a star of full luster, for it is only the comparison that makes them seem minor. Signora Claparelll came a stranger and leaves a favorite with all who heard her rich, pure tones. Miss Farrington fs by mo means the best violirist Omaba has ever heard, but she is one in whose playing there are no flaws serious enough to mar. Mr. Pyck has the misfortune to be pecullar in his bearing, but, once seated, he plays easily, simply and well. The Grand Pants Co. has moved one block south to 205 North Sixteenth, into new and larger quarters owing to much increase in business. They will be pleased to have their old patrons call and inspect their new quarters and goods. BANKER DENIES A RUMOR aring Brothers Will for Propesed Beef Mesger. NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—A member of the banking firm of Baring, Magoun & Co. of this city today denied a report from Chicago that “J. Prerpont Morgan, sided by Baring Bros. of London, will float the beef merger and underwrite the necessary $100,000,000 of bonds. The member of the firm referred to said: “Mr. Baring was in Chicago, and he may have called upon Mr. Armour, but any re- port that we and Mr. Morgan are to float tie so-called beef merger is without fouu- dation.” At the office of J. P. Morgan It was also sald there was no foundation for the repors- | AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Residents in Eastern Part of Oity Want Now Sewer to the River. PROBABLE COST TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND 1t, However, Long we is Adopted Extended to the River the Cost May Be Doubled. and Sewer There is considerable talk these days of providing means for the construction of a brick sewer from Twentieth and N streets to the river. Such a sewer as the one pro- posed would drain a considerable amount of territory and could be lajd at small cost at present. “What s needed,” sald a resident in the eastern portion of the city last night,” is a sewer which will run east from Twentieth and N streets to Thirteenth street. Lat- erals should also be lald north and south of this proposed main sewer.' Engineers who were consulted say that a five-foot brick sewer could be lald for about $25,000. In case it is the plan to run the sewer over to O street and continue the course of the waterway to the river, the cost probably will be doubled, By the terms of the present charter the city is prohibited from issulng bonds for sewers. This is remedied by the city lssu- ing warrants, which draw Interest after fifty days. These warrants are supposed to be pald by property owners benefited. In the case of a blg sewer like the one pro- posed it would be necessary to issue gen- eral improvement bonds. These bonds can, 80 it is asserted, be floated at a low rate of interest, providing the taxpayers will vote for the issue. The project is to be brought before the people by the city coun- cil before long. City After Delinquents. “So much trouble has been caused by property owners protesting against special taxes assessed for the laying of sidewalks that the city now proposes to take a de. cided stand in the matter,” sald a city official last night. ‘“In the past, when walks have been laid, the property owners were given a certain length of time in which to comply with the ordinances. When this was not done the city went ahead and 1aid the walks and taxed the cost up against the property. In a number of in- stances property owners have disputed the right of the city to levy such speclal taxes and have carried the case into the courts. It is true that the court has found, at to reap a reward of $60 for the capture of Winnick. Pashing Brick Work. The contractors on the Ancient Order of United Workmen temple are pushing the work of construction. Already the walls are four feet above the surface and as long an good weather lasts bricklaying will con- tinue. The ground floor of this hall will be arranged to seat 700 people. There will | be a stage of ample proportions so that | dramatic entertainments may be given. The | chairs on the ground fieor will be movabi and the hall will be rented for dances when occasion offers. The Workmen expect to open the new temple on or about March 1. Stock Yards Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Union Stock Yards company will be held at the company's offices in South Omaha on Monday, December 8. At this time General Manager Kenyon will make a re- port of the business done during the last twelve months. Then will follow an elec- tion of directors and officers. As the show- ing to be made is considered a good one no changes in either the directory or the pres- ent officials is contemplated. Coroner Bralley held an inquest yester- day afternoon over the remains of Michael Shields. The jury listened to the testimony of a number of witnesses and the verdiot was that the deceased came to his death by his own hands. Acting under instructions from relatives, Undertaker George Brewer forwarded the remains last night to Pewau- kee, Wis., for interment. ect Flynn's Clothi Are you getting the values? Have you been to Flynn's to see the prices on cloth- ing, dry goods and groceries. Goods are s0ld at prices that are not equalled by any other house in the two Omahas. And when you get low prices on the class of goods Flynn sells, such as H. §. & M. and Kup- penheimer clothing, Staley underwear and other makes which are not and cannot be surpassed by any maker, Flynn's low prices really mean low prices. Give the Flynn Food and Clothing House a pleasant look, anyway. Magic City Gossip. Buy your hard coal of Christie Bros. The new lumber and coal company. Crosby, Kopeitz, Casey Co. Rev. R. L.

Mrs. Shrigley entertained the Merry-Go-Round club at her home yester- different times, flaws in the ordinances, and therefore some of the speclal taxes have been declared Invalld. In the mean- time the property owner has been using the walk lald by the city and was not paying a cent toward the cost. Now it is proposed by the officlals to tear up these walks In contested districts, as the ma- terial rightly belongs tq the city. This will be done shortly unless the taxes are pald.” Several of the members of the council were Interviewed on the subject yesterday and they favored the plan of removing all walks in disputed districts where the ma- terial was laid and the labor performed by the city. Bank Statements. At the call of the comptroller of the treasury thé national banks forwarded a statement to Washington showing the con- dition of affairs at the close of business on November 25. The three national banks had on deposit at the time the call was made the sum of $6,495,450.39. When the prior call was made on September 25 these banks had depos ited $6,466,240.21. The November call shows an Increase in deposits of $29,21 “This Increase at this time of the year certainly speaks well for South Om: sald a banker. “As are withdrawn during November and De- cember. The fact that there is an in- crease in deposits looks good and shows that the community in which the banks are situated and the territory surrounding South Omaha is in & prosperous condition.” Looking After Disease. Now that the city is free from smallpox the officials of the health department pro- pose to do everything possible to prevent new cases. There is, so it is sald, to be a general cleaning up all over the city. Trains will be watched to se§ that cases of small- pox from other cities are not shipped to South Omaha. As the emergency hospital is now empty, the desire of the Board of Health is to keep it in this condition dur- ing the remainder of the winter, providing such a thing is possible.

FOURTEEN AFTER FOUR JOBS Plenty of Oandidates for Appointment as Deputy Oounty Attorneys. WEAVER AND MAGNEY SAID TO BE SLATED One Deputy, it is U; Ch from Four irante—Zel Messenger. ers: , Wil be th Omaha to Fourteen aspiring young lawyers of the democratic falth are anxious to share in the victory of James P. English, county attorney-elect, by drawing the $100 monthly stipend that the law allows a deputy county attormey. There are four deputies to be appolnted, but, this is several times the number really needed and as the work of each is insufficient to interfere with & lawyer's regular practice, there hi been a lively scramble for the places ever since (he returns made It apparent thas English was & winner. It is reported on the best authority that Mr. English has already selected twe of his staff, the fortunate candidates being Frank L. Weaver, who made an unsuccesaful ru for the semate, and Geor the populist who Is already a deputy county attorney. Ignatius Jehovah Du L L Abbott and Harry Burnam, the other mem. bers of the present county attorney’s staff, are willing to stay on the pay roll for an- other two years, all belng active candl- dates for reappointment. Of the others in the fleld a likely man is John E. Reagan, president of the Doug- las County Democracy, who, being the only candidate of that organization, must needs be appointed unless the Jacksonisns are to “hog” the ple counter. Others in the fleld are: George C. Martin, defeated candi- date for the legislature; W. 8. Shoentake: former justice of the peace; John A. Rine, with the law and political firm of Smyth Smith, and the South Omaha quartet of Joseph J. Breen, R. B. Montgomery, 8. L. Winters and H. B. Fleharty. It is under- stood that one of the deputies is to come from South Omaha. It has already been decreed that ‘‘Count” Gunsolus, met r in the county attor- B retire with Mr. Shields First ward politician and treasurer of the democratic county committee.
