THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDN SDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1903. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Mayor and Ceuncil Confliot Over Appoint . ment of Live Stock Inspector. BURLINGTON ROAD PAYS CITY FOR LAND Storm Impnirs Sireet Rallway Serviee Many Employes of the Pack- Ing Houses Are Forced to Walk Home, There 1s likely to be some differences of opinfon in regard to the stock inspector's ordinance introduced in the council Mon- day night. Mayor Koutsky has his own fdear and the democratic members have theirs, 8o that the ordinance will certainly have a rocky road to travel. In the ordinance the mayor is glven the suthority to appolnt and stock examiner, and this the members of the council do not lke, as it pl all of the power In the hands of the mayor and leaves none to the council. 1t 18 & well known fact that the Stock Yards company would like to see Clark Howard reappointed, but the mayor declines | 10 express an opinion. He says that when 1t comes to appointing a man for the posi- tlon he will name one who is thoroughly eompetent. Further the mayor says there 18 no use of the city paying an official $50 & month for looking wise and doing noth- | fng. What he wants is an inspector who will fnspect. Without doubt the judiciary committeo will return an adverse report on the pres- ent ordfnance and then the whole show will have to be gone over again. Members of the counefl assert that they will have their mayor says that he will have Storm Makes Trouble, Yesterday's storm made trouble for the street car people, telephone folks and the telegraph and electric 1jght companies. Motor trains were few and far between, as the drifting snow blocked the tracks. Many of the employes of the packing bouses were compelled to walk home last night on account of the storm. Comments were freely made on the ineficlency of the street car mervice, and threats were made that an attempt would be made to have the city council do semething. Movement of ears in the ftock yards was carried on the same as usual and all stock recelved was placed in pens or under shicltor. Chairman Queenan of the council com- mittee on charity and the mayor wers be- sleged last might with applications from the destitute for fuel and food. Rellet was furnished to quite a number and a lot | of box car transients were given quarters at the city jall. As for the coal supply the packers say there Is enough on hand to last for three or four days, so they are not worried. The local dealers assert that there is some an- thracite in the yards and that bituminous coal is coming in all the while. Should the storm last for several days the situation will become serfous, but the city is pre- pared for a four days' storm. Burlington Pays Money. For the first time in the history of South Omaha the city has recelved a sum of money for vacating streets and alleys. Yesterday the Burlington road pald into the city teeasury the sum of §1,043 for the vacation of a portion of Thirty-sixth street. In addition to this payment, the railroad company dedicated fo the city a strip of Boyd street. Even the strip dedigated did not make matters even, and the difference was m; up in - e b o e As the money is for the city officials to do {s the passage of the ordinance vacating a section of Thir- ty-sixth street and-the adoption of the or- dinance dccepting for the city a portion of Boy@d street. By this transfer the city acquires a strip of ground thirty feet wide on Boyd street, and also a four-track rail- road from tbe Burlington 1i# right into the Unfon stock yards, South Qmaha aerie, No. 154, Fraternity Order Eagles, will give a house warming at the new home of the order, Twenty- third ‘and N streets, this evening.

FOR SALK BY KUHN & CO, 1I5TH ANV DOUGLAS STp., OMAHA. PULLED DOWN BY KANSAS Omaka's Orack Y. M. 0. A Basket Ball Team Suooumbs to Jayhawkers. POOR WORK BY LOCAL TEAM RESPONSIBLE Comparatively Weak wrence Destroys Ho, Association Men Aggresation » of the for Western Champlonsh Just when the Young Men's Christian as- eociation basket ball team of this city had | the champlonship of the transmissouri country within its grasp it forfeited the honors by suffering defeat at the hands of | the Kansas university team on the gym- nasium floor last night, 26 to 24 By all the Indications of previous form the local team should have won, and it lost solely by showing a grade of basket ball far below its usual standard. The Omahans were simply off their game. They could not find the baskets on their own fleld, and at the foul line they were equally as help- less as in fleld play. Omaba has this season defeated the Has. kell Indians and the Lincoln Young Men's Christian mssoclation. The Indians de- teated the Lincoln Young Men's Christian assoclation and the University of Nebraska. Both the Lincoln Young Men's Christlan association and the University of Nebraska defeated the Kansas team last week, In the face of all that the local men allowed the Jayhawkers to beat them by a scratch last night. Kansans Play Clean Ball. The Kansans are good, game players and they put up the cleanest ball yet seen on the part of a visitiug team. They are a strapping crew, four of the party being players from the Kansas university foot ball team of labt fall. Hicks was right end, Allen right guard, J. Alford right halfback and Brummage right tackle. The latter is this year's foot ball captain. He did not play last night, but served as umpire. The visitors outweighed the local team considerably, yet the latter should have won. They threw more goals than the strangers, 9 to 7, but at that tne Omahans missed chance after chance that they gen- erally get. The field goal throwing, in fact, was bad on both teams, it devolving upon the centers, Hansen and Allen, to be the stars at this because the forwards were all weak. At throwing goals from the foul line the home team was almost impotent, while on this department of the game the visitors | won. Captain Miller of the locals, usually €0 strong at the foul line toss, was helpless last night, and after a couple of trials Han- sen gave it up also. G. Willard then threw four out of the five remaining chances. These, with Miller's two, made six scores to add to the eighteen made at field throw- ing. Good Individual Work, Meanwhile Dick was doing great work from the foul line for Kansas. He threw twelve goals out of nineteen chances, Omaba making an unusually large num- ber of fouls. That little bunch of twelve was just enough to win the game for Kan- | sas. In the first half the contest was all | their way, the score being 13 to S, but in the second halt Omaha made a desperate attempt to pull out, and scored sixteen points, which was not enough by two, as the visitors made thirteen more. The score: ICANSAS—28, <R, Willard Willard Hansen Jardine Miller (C.) 5; Allen, 8; D. Alford, 2; Jardine, 2; J. Alford 17 Dick, 1; Miller, 1; G. Willard, 1.
