DECISION LOOKED FOR IN DAY OR TWO City Omclals M ¥ith Street Repairs Regardless (-0 Injunction and Stand " ‘Comsequences. For over two hours gesterday Attar- ney DeBord, representing . the Nebraska Bitulithio company; Attorneys Adams and Mdrgan, representing the Barber Asphalt Paving company, and City Attorney ‘Wright, representing Omaha, argued the injunction case against the city awarding street repairing contract to the Barber ,:npu-y. Judge Day at the conclusion of the arguments téok the case under advise- t, and probably will hand down & de- islon today or Monday. torney Wright argued on the point raised by City Engineer Rosewater that 10 advertising of any kind is required for & street repaiiing contract. For. years it has been contended in and out of the city hall that one section of the chartér uses the word ‘“repairing”’ where the word “repav- ing" was written originally and intended by, the introducers of the bill. But, though the charter has since been amended a dou- ple of times, the .word: never has been changed, and therefore stands as the law. Attorneys on both sides disclaimed any nsibility on the part of thelr clients the city not having an official paper. Attorney Wright, for the city, claimed that nefther the council nor mayor was respon- sible, as the council had awarded the con- tract o The Bee, and made it the official paper, and the mayor was only prevented from concurring in this action by an in- jupction. In answer fo the question as to whether or not the city might not award the contract to the World-Herald, Attorney Wright said to the court: L Goes to Lowest Bidder, “The law {s that tlie city shall award the contract to the lowest bidder having the required circulation' and the councll, exer- clsing its judgment, so awarded the con- tract. Unless the councll is willing to re- linguish its powers and turp the govern- ment of the city over to the courts It is powerless to do anything in the matter, at Cured of Asthma After Vears of Terrible Suffering, Mary Josephine Bezy, Floyd Knob, Ind., writes: “After suffering untold agonles for 82 years from Asthma, I was cured by Schiffmann's Asthma Cure. Tused to be so bad thatIcould not move withouthelp,but | Tean now do allmy own work.” Another | . wrl “My little boy7 years old has been & sufferer for several years, some- Simes 80 bad off that we could not hold him | o bed, nruu any moment for him to breathe bis last.

Despite court injunctions and the war of the 'paving contractors certain city officials say that Omaha's asphalt streets are going to be repaired this year. Public censure is becoming unbearable and the people are rightfully aroused, but careful investiga- tion will show that the municipal govern- ment is not where the blame lles. Should injunction longer tie up the repairs it is planned by certdin members of the councll, Board of Public Works and other officers to simply g0 ahead and have repairs ‘done by day labor, getting the material according to circumstances and using one of the two paving plants in the city. Arrangements have progressed to the point where it has been found that this can be done st reasonable ‘expense and with reasonable safety. The' work would be done, ‘of dourse, under the supervision of the city, but all*competitive bidding and contracting would be eliminated. Hinges on Day's Declsion. The whole thing hinges on Judge Day's dectsion. If the order is allowed then the campalgn that is planned will be put into effect. It is polnted out that it is only as a last resort that such measures are to be employed. . Mayor Moores is thoroughly aroused over the situation and says that forbearance has reached a point where it is no longer worthy or in line with duty. He declares that the time for vigorous measures has arrived. “Government by injunction,” he sayi the curse of the twentieth century.” City Engineer Rosewater is preparing a schedule of unpaved streets damaged by the rains, whish will be repaired as soon as possible with the ald of the $5,000 emergency wipropmation. At present a force of ‘fifty-six laborers and twenty-five teams are working in small gangs all over the city, engaged on the more urgent repairs. It is the desire to have the entire work done methddically, as the money in hand is none too much for the under- taking. STICKNEY TALKS TO BURT Great Western and Union Pacif 8 Presi s Discuss Detalls of New Road's Advent. President A. B. Stickney of the Chicago Great Western came in from the east y terday and spent most of the day In con- ference with President Burt of the Union Pacific. In speaking of the recent entrance of the Oreat Western into Omaha, Presi- dent Btickney scemed to be greatly sur- prised that Omaha people did not know | that trains would be started from Omaha on September 1. “I supposed.” 'he sald, “that everyone knew that we would begin service out of Omaha at once instead of from Councll Bluffs. There was nothing sudden in our determination to run the trains directly out of Omaha and I supposed that everyone knew about it & week before we started. The service 1s new yet and the roadbed is not in good condition, so that our passenger service is more local than through. “We are bending our efforts to the bufld- ing up of the towns that are already on the line and In the establishing of new towns where the location is such as to make their ¢st in the welfare of these new towns. He seemed to be well pleased that the road had reached Omaha and was in a position to handle a portion of the business east and north, (] WILL SEE IF _HE IS MARRIED Divorced Wife Threate: Sult it Former Hushband Has New Help-Meet, Mrs. Ella Ferrin, the former wife of Eu- gene H. Ferrin, denles very emphatically the statements' in a semsdtional dispatch from Golden, Colo., to the effect that Fer- rin and “his former wife, Miss Polly Beeso of Omaha,” had been remarried in the Colo- rado city after a tramp of ten miles from Denver, and questions that Ferrin has mar- ried anyone since her divorce from him iess than six months ago. Mrs. Ferrin's malden name was Ella Ber- gren and, according to the records at the court house, she filed a sult for divorce &nd the custody of their infant child, Lilian Ella Ferrin, January 24, 1903. ‘The petition al- leged extreme cruelty, beginning September 15, 1%02. They had been married April 18, 1900. No defense was made by Ferrin and March 12, 1903, &' decree’of absolute divorce was given Mre. Ferrin. As her former, husband has married within six months after the divorce. was granted—If married at all-Mrs. Ferrin states that.she will see & lawyer and en-, deavor to have the second marriage an- nulled. She has no desjre whatever, she de- clares, to remarry Ferrin, but is not golng to allow him to marry another woman il- legally. ‘ “The fact is, T have no personal knowl- edge that he has married again,” says the former Mrs. Ferrin, “but’ I intend to find out if he has."

WILL AVENGE DOG'S INJURY Woman Says H Oani Was “ Oruelly Handled and She Wil Complaint was filed in police court against the “dog catcher” yesterday by Mrs. J. Butters of 1411 Jones street, who owns & very fine white canine of aristo- cratic ancestry, according to her version. The dog, “Jip,” was gaught by the oMcial catcher on the street in front of his home at about 10 a. m. He was duly roped with & wire and, as Mrs. Butters stated, “merc- lessly dragged to the wagon."” “I had just the day before removed my dog's collar because it was getting tight around his neck. 1 told the man I had paid the license, but he persisted In taking him, thinking, no doubt, that because he was & valuable dog 1 would pay well for his release. 1 will have justice fof this outrage it 1 have to take the law Into my own belng & necessity.” President Stickney evinced a lively Inter hands. Certainly I will file & complaiat and 1 will push 1t too." . WANTS PEOPLE TO DECIDE Mayor Moores Favors Public Expression at Polls on Electrio Light Question. INTENDS TO SUBMIT IT THIS FALL To Redeem Platform Pledges Will Ask Council to Place Nash Propo- sition Before Taxpayers at Coming Election, It Mayor Moores has his way the people will decide the' question as to whether F. A. Nash is right or wrong in saying that they do not want a municipal electric light plant. ' The mayor yesterday ,announced fhat he would request the counpil to submit the question of a publicly owned plant at the election November 3. He regards this method as the surest and best to ascertain the sentiment of the taxpayers on the light- ing controversy and he regards it as no more than fa'r to the city officlals after being ejected on a platform declaring spe- cifically'in favor of municipal ownership of all public utilities. “The councll must take the Initiative and pass the necessary ordinances, designating the amount of bonds est!mated to construct | or purchase such a plant,” says the mayor. *“The voting will be for or against the lssu- ance of the bonds for the purpose, the same as when Omahans expressed a decision to acquire the water works. Because the couneil must act first before the mayor can | issue his proclamation, it Is necessary for the latter to ask the legislative branch of the city government to take fhe first au- thoritative steps In the matter. “Every one of the nine members of the present council was elected on a municipal ownership platform, eight of them having signed their names to a pledge of this character, especlally with reference to a public water works and lighting plant, Different Set of Men. “Had the late city councll peen In power President Nash's proposition would now be accepted and up to me for approval or re- Jection. He is now dealing with a different body of men who are mot yet inured to the sting of public opinion, who are will- ing to discuss the merits and demerits of public questions and who are somewhat subscribed and sworn to the municipal ownership idea for which we were elected. That question must be acted upon by the people before there is any new electric lighting contract made, and I think it will be. I do not belleve that five votes can be obtalned in the city Cholera Infantum Every mother should guard against this awful disease. If babies bowels are loose, get Wakefield's Blackberry Balsam It never fails to cure, . council for the Nash proposition ana T know that six cannot be secured to over- ride my veto. “A city election will be necessary this fall in conjunction with the county, school board and judicial elections, in order to pravide for a police magistrate. The time 18 both convenient and opportune for the submission of the municipal electric light question to the voters, and if I have my way it will be done. “Mr. Nash seems to think that every- thing can be accomplished by money. Well, a great deal can, to be sure, but there are some things that money won't do. “In confiection with the lighting discus- sion there is no reason why we should not expect and obtain a reduction in the price of gas lamps. That is one of the fruits that should come out of the present scrim- mage." . GOSSIP_ON COMMISSION ROW 1y ot Pears and Peaches Go Into Winter Quar- ters. The peaches and pears are putting up these days at the sign of the glass jar. During the week between eighteen and twenty cars of frult have been brought to this city for wholesale distribution and a good part of this import has been for the | purpose | of supplying the yawning mouth of the preserving can. Four of these cars contained Utah and Oregon contributions. The Utah Bartletts are passing out to the grocers at $2, which is from 8 to 75 cents | cheaper than ever the Californians could. The pears and the peaches also will carry on for about ten days in the present styls and then there will be a raise in price | sure enough, for the volunteers will all be {in and nothing left but the conscription. | The peaches have sold wholesale as low as % cents, but feel sufficlently honored by a day spent at the grocer's to charge 10 cents more. There is a downward movement in grapes —that is, they are moving down the throat of the populace. The locals have been com- ing in finely for three or four days, and supply fully the present desire. But when the peaches and pears are off watch then there will be heavy work for the grapes. There has so far been only one car of Illi- nols grapes sold here, and there was no rush for them, but the Concords are the jelly makers, and will be wanted from the east for the stew along with the locals. There are certain California grapes that continue to come here as though no such thing as a grape was ever planted in Ne- braska. They have a few firm friends who have money, and are not bothered by the popular taste. The locals are selling whole- sale at 25 cents per elght-pound box. For ipping they come in the eight-pound out- fit with a lid, and for retall in open six- pound baskets. There was a bustling big tarket yesterday morning, and apples were on all sides and | in every mouth. The tomatoes were also | in line at 25 cents per. Corn was not too frequently met, and sold at 10 cents, while potatoes were few and brought H0-cent money. Mortality Statistics.

Myers, the ffst druggist arrested on the charge of violat- ing the police prohibition order, began in police court yesterday. Myers conducts a pharmacy at Fortleth and Farnam streets. Complaint was lodged against him August 24, the complaining witness being Detective George B. Stryker, who went into the store at about the noon hour and procured a half pint of whisky from Mrs. Myers, who was tending the store at the time. Yesterday when the case was called counsel for defendant appeared on the scene with a batch of law books that would easily have filled the ordinary Nebraska farmer's bushel basket. Detective Stryker testified to having gone to the drug store August 21 and asking Mrs. Myers for the whisky, and offering 81 in payment for the half-pint bettle which he received. He did not specify whether he wanted the lquor for medicinal, mechan- fcal or chemical purposes, merely asking for whisky, and got what he has reasons to believe is the real stuff. The whisky, in an ordinary whisky flask, was offered in evidence in court. Mrs. Myers testified substantially to the same story, but intimated that Stryker was in such & hurry to get out of the store after getting the whisky that she had not the opportunity to ascertain his name. He had asked her for a drink of whisky and soda from the fountain, but she had re- fused to serve him, as it was contrary td the rule of the store. There was & vast amount of quibbling over the technical points between the county attorney and the attorney for the defendant, but Mr, Myers was finally put on the stand and allowed to tell what he knew about the transaction. He produced his register of spirituous liquors dispensed for the month of August, and showed that the sale to Stryker had been duly recorded to an “‘unknown man from Iowa.” It was shown that Mrs. Myers thought Btryker an Jowa man, from & remark he made after belng refused the drink from the fountain. Judge Berka gave notice that he would hear argument in the matter next Wednes- day morning at 10 a. m. NEVER FAILED TO COMPLY n of World Ofiicial Suys Order Always Respected Illi- nois Laws. Wood “The dispatch relative <o the licensing of the Woodmen of the World to transact a fraternal {nsurance In the state of Illinols, is faulty in one particular,” said Chief Clerk Thomas W. Burchmore of the Woodmen of the World. “It is true that we have long been denled the opportunity of doing business in lllinols, but it was not because we falled to comply with the laws of the state, but because of the jealous Influences of other fraternal organizations, preventing our securing the requisite license, We were ready at all times to comply with any and all of the laws of the state of Illinols, but always found ourselves confronted by some un- looked-for technicality. These have all fortunately been overcome now and we will begin the campalgn for insurance in | Ilinols at once. Our present membership | throughout the United States is 375,000 and |1t 1s still growing. We have lodges in ln-.rly every state in the union, and our order ngw ranks third In point of numbers ot any In the United States of the fraternal Insurance orders.” GRAND ARMY WOMEN’S PICNIC Rellef Corps and Some of the Vetess ans Enjoy Outing at Krug Park, The picnic given by the Ladles of the Grand Army of the Republic at Krug park Friday was fairly well attended.
