y 1| ¢ Yfl THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, <CU RRENT COUNCIL SCHEME FOR FILLING LOTS { Powera of Board of Health May Be Invoked » to Remedy the Evil. STAGNANT WATER MENACE TO HEALTH Previous Efforts to Have Low Lying Lots Ra to Grade at Expense ©of Ownéers of the Property Have ¥Falled. Conditfons resulting from the recent flood have decided the city authorities that some | means must be devised ‘whereby low Iying lots can be brought to grade at the ex- pense of the owners and not at that of the city,’ This matter will come up for dis- cussion at the meeting of the city council tonight and some action towards mccom- plishing the desired end is looked for. Hundreds of lots in the districts which wers flooded at the time of the recent heavy rains and the overflowing of Indian creek are full’ of stagnant water and are | & menace to the health of the neighborhood. | There is no way of draining them and the water must remain there until it finally seeps Info the ground unless the lots are filled. Meretofors whenever the city has undertaken to' fill low Iying lots and then charge up the cost to the owners, it has resulted in litigation, the outcome of which has invariably been adverse to the city and the result has been that the city in the long run has been compelled to stand the expense. 1t 18 now believed that under the health laws of the state the local Board of Health, which consists of the mayor, aldermen and city phystelan, can take hold of the mat- ter and ‘order the lots filled on the ground that they are & menace to tho public health, It has been suggested that where the own- ers refuse to bring the lots to grade the city health authorities can order it done and the cost can then be taxed up against the owner and certificates for the amount issued against the property. These cer- tificates would then become a lien against the property and remain as such until paid, The matter has been in the hands of City Attorney Snyder, who was requested by the city eouncil to examine into the law on the subject and report at the meeting tonight. Mr. Bnyder is of the opinion that the city has the right to issue certificates against property for the cost of filling lots which have been declared by the Board of Health & menace to the public health.

The increased enrollment at the high mchool has made It necessary to secure an- other teacher, and today Mrs. Louise Sears wili join the faculty. She will teach classes In algebra, Latin and Greek four hours each day. Mrs, Sears, as Miss Boesche before 'her marriage, taught for several years in the high school and was consid- ered one of the most successful instructors the school ever had. She and Mr. Sears recently returned to Council Blufts to live | and the board succeeded in secufing her services to asdist I the work at the high schael G0 ir [ agis N It the enroitment atgthe high school con- {inues to increase Buperintendent Clifford states it will be necessary to employ an- other teacher for full time. At the end of the firnt week the enrollment reached 410, ‘which is nearly thitty more than last year. The total enroliment in the city schools reached 4,600 last Saturday, and BSuperin- tendent Clifford is looking forward to this number belng increased to 5,000 before the end of the month. In order to provide room for the increased number of pupils at the Becond ‘avenue school it was found neces- sary to remove the pupils of the seventh grade to the Washington avenue and the Bloomer schools. Peddler Arrested for Robbery. J. W.,Dgley, a peddler of shoe strings, was arrested yesterday afternoon charged with highway robbery. He snatched a watch and chain from Henry White of Gretna, Neb., who was in the city on his way to Mills county. White was taking a stroll around town between trains and was looking over the Great Western frelght and passenger de- pots when Daley approached him and solic- ited him to purchase some of his wares. ‘White declined and Daley made a grab for his chain and watch and sueceeded In tear- ing them loose from the pocket. Daley then ran and White started in pursuit. After a chase of several blocks White suc- ceeded In overhauling the thief and forced him to surrender the watch and chain. The fellow pleaded so hard to be let go that White, who did not wish to stay in the clty to prosecute, finally consented. The police, however, got wind of the rob- bery and officer Kirk was detailed to get the thief if possible. He learned that the fellow had gone north on the Northwestern tracks and Kirk captured him at the round house, north of the yards, for Chemlical. While responding to an alarm at the Carbon Coal company's yards af Sixteenth avenue and Third street shortly after 11 o'clock 8aturday night the chemical engine from No. 3 hose house had a narrow escape from being run down by a Burlington train at the Main street crossing. The driver of the chemical sighted the train just in time to swing his horses around onto the sidewalk and thus avold a collision. The train passed within two feet of the rear of the chemical. The fire, caused by spon- taneous combustion, was confined to a pile of coal @nd was extinguished before much dam; had been done. oK Call hy Stricken, Detective J. M. Murphy of the city police force, was. stricken with appoplexy yester day afiernopn while walking on Broadway, and is lying In an unconsolous and critical condition at his home on Benton street. | Murphy was walking on Broadway with his{ #5n about 4 o'clock and was in front of the | 0d4d Fellows' temple when selzed.

HAS HAD THE POSITION YOUR TERMS Pecullar Predicament Has Abowt by Candidacy and Retnrn of His Charch Letter, Been Browght (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOT Sept. 13.—(Speclal)—It 1s learn that Les’ie M, Shaw, secretary of (the treasury, has made arrangements to | attend the sesslons of the Des Moines dls- trict conference at Indlanola, which opens Tuesday In charge of Bishop Mallalieu, but the announcement made some time Ago 1o the effect that Secretary Shaw would again for a fifth time be selected as one of the lay delegates to the general con- ference of the Methodist church is subject to some modification, for it is learned that if he gets the coveted prize it will be after a contest in the conference. A few weeks | ago 1t was announced that Becretary Shaw would probably be unanimously selected | as a lay delegate. On four previous occa- slons, covering a period of sixteen years, this conference has chosen Secretary Shaw when he was superintendent of the Deni- son Sunday school and later when he | was governor of the state, to attend the general conferonce. His eminent fitnes for the position and conspicuous ability |among the great men of the Methodi: | church were shown on many occasion: On one memorable day he measured logic with the powerful Dr. Buckley of New York and so badly worsted the distin- gulshed editor that there has been a coolness between them ever since. In view of all this It wae cxpected that the selec- tion of Shaw as a lay delegate would be ‘without question. When he retired fgom the governor's office In January, 1%2, Mr. Shaw took out his church letter from the First Methodist | Episcopal church of Des Moines, with the intention of takiug membership in a | church in Washington as soon as he had got himself settled in the Treasury de- partment. In view of this the First Methodist Eplscopal church of this city agaln presented the name of L. M. Mann as candidate for lay delegate. Mr. Mann is head of the Jowa Methodist hospital assoclation and has previously been a lay delegate and as such an assoclate of Mr. Shaw in representing the Des Moines dis- trict. Others also came out as candi- dates and the fleld now contains at least fifteen, four or five being Des Moines men. There are six of the lay délegates to be selected. 'The prospect of a spirited but friendly contest is good and as a consequence the conference at - Indlanola will be doubly interesting. Deposits His Letter, After announcement had been made that Secretary Shaw would again be a candidate for lay delegate to the general conference his ftiends looked about to discover if he was eligible. As a result they found that Secretary Shaw had carried his church letter In his pocket the two years and a halt and had not taken membership in ‘Washington, as planned, nor deposited the letter anywhere. A few days ago Dr. A, B. Storms, .pastor. of 'the ~Pirst church, and newly elected president of the State col- lege, was surprised to receive from Bevre- tary Shaw a communication enclosing his church letter taken out a year and a half ago, with the request that it be re-deposited in this church. Under the church rules there was nothing to 'be done but sccept the membership In good faith, and Secre- tary Shaw is therefore at the present time a member of the First Methodist Episcopal church and eligible as a candidate to repre- sent the Des Moines conference at Los Angeles in May next. It is learned that wome of his friends advised him, at the time, against taking out his church mem- bership from this distiret, But the return of the church letter leaves Dr. Storms and the First church in some- thing of a predicament. L. M. Mann fs a candilate for lay delegate, and it is too much to expect that any one church shall nave two delegates. Mann has gone too deep to get out without humiliation. Then there are other candidates from Des Moines churchés, Including Dr. J. F. Kennedy, secretary of the State Board of Health. The unexpected return of Shaw to the dis trict and as a candidate from the IFirst Methodist Episcopal church s not pleasing to them. In fact, some of these eandidates hint that they are quite ready. to give the secretary of the treasury a yun for his money this time. They say that inasmuch as he has been out of the distirct a year and a half and has escaped contributions to the church anywhere by carying his church letter about, they feel that he is not en- titled to ask any favors. If he should come as a delegate from his old chupeh at Deni- son and be credited there they would not #0 much object, but his return to the Des Molnes church disarranges the entire pro- gram. They also feel that Inasmuch as he nas had the honor for sixteen years it Is time to paks it around. In short, there is a good deal of feeling aroused over. the sud- den change in the situation here jncident to the return of Secretary Shaw to :nember- ship In (he First church of Des Molnes. Outside of Des Moines the sentiment is sald to be quite favorable to the selection of Shaw as a delegate, on the ground that his one of the most conspicuous and influential at Los Angeles and he would greatly honor | the distirct by his presence. The matter will be ssttled some time next week Look at Political Side, | \The pecullar predicament In which the members of the church are left here by veason of this unexpected complication is causing some Interest among the politicn] | fricnds of the secretary of the treasury One of them, in the church wor “While 1 would n the purest | secretary of the that Ahls ambition , #ald yesterday not ascribe any other motives to the honorable reasury, and I feel sure to again represent the Des Molnes con as & lay delegate is entirely proper, vet his close friends in | ihis city and in the district cannot shut | thet s to the fact that a position on | the delegation agnin would be of great | value to Secretary Shaw in his now well recogrized and perfectly proper ambition to be the successor of President Roosevelt |in the White House. It is no secret here that Secretary Shaw is headed right for | the White House. As we see it, he is in |line for the succession, and that better than any other man. He is a cpnspicuous man in the nation, he has the confidence of Lis assoclates, he has pleased all ti elements that make and unmake political fortunes—in short, he is the coming man in national politics.

The streak gives promise of widening with depth and it is believed that here the first anthracite mine in Wyoming will be developed. Small seams of anthra- cite have been located in other sections, but have not heen of sufficient size to war- | rant development The Thayer anthracite vein of soft coal which is be opened up in a short time. Recently a test was made with this coal and Rock Springs coal. Seven, tons of Thayver coal generated steam suf-| ficlent to carry a 1.00-ton freight train as| far as twelve tons of Rock Springs coal will do, 8o that even though the anthracite streak does not turn out as expected the vein will be worked for the high grade of soft coal. The Union Pacific is preparing to lay a line to the new field and will open up at least one large mine, locating about its mouth another cnal camp like those at Spring Valley and Cumberland, Ulnta county. An attempt has been made to keep the news of the anthracite find quiet, but information has leaked out and considera- ble excitement has been created in the coal flelds of the western part of the state. urs in a large Wyoming Cattle Go to Const.

The interest in the sale displayed In Wyoming and Utah has been great and the selling firm has been deluged with letters requesting them to sell the cat- tle of the writers on commission, while the purchasers have been, request:d to view herds in several sectlons. Unless there is an improvement in Omaha market condl- tions, Pacific coast buyers can secure all the cattle they need in Wyoming. CAPTURE THE BANK ROBBERS Five Men Now in’ Custody Whom Om- cers Are Confident Are the Right Men. BIOUX FALLS, 8. B, Sept. 13.—(Special Telegram.)—Five men whom there is every reason to belleve were implicated in the sensational robbery of the Minnehaha County bank at Valley Springs early ves- terday morning have been apprehended and are now in custedy of the authorities of this county. Two were captured at Garretson and the other three at Lester, the next station on ithe line. The two captured at Garretson have been identified as men who were in Rrandon and vicinity, between here and Valley Springs, for sev- eral days. They ran out of money and pawned a knife. Afterwards four more stranger, doubtless confederates, appeared fn. Brandon, and it Wis nat long unti) the two men were supplied -with money and had redeemed the knife. It is sald the two men took an Omaha train for Valley Springs Friday night, ar- riving there at about 11 o'clock. The rob- bery was committed: about three hours later. Sheriff Huston is confident the en- tire gang has been captured, notwithstahd- ing it was belleved as many as nine men were concerned in the Valley Springs raid. This number, he thinks, is exaggerated.

DES MOINES, Sept. 13.—(8pecial.)— | Colonel James Rush Lincoln, commandant of the cadets at the lowa State college at Ames, is preparing to lead the Fifty-fifth regiment,” Towa National Guard, to Fort Riley, Kan., about the middle of October to participate In the army maneuvers there. It was reported some time ago that Colonel Lincoln was fll, but this proved unfounded, as he is In excellent henlth, but even If half dead he would not givs up the pleasure | of leading this lowa regiment into camp with 14,000 others, chiefly regulars. The | regiment is the one which was taken to the ( Philippines and which saw much hard cam- paigning there four years ago. A goodly number of the boys who went to the Phil- ippines are in the regiment now, Thres or four of the companies are comparatively new in the service and untrained, but they all have excellent officers and thers is no doubt that the regiment will make a fine showing among the others at the maneu- vers. Especial pains has been taken to put the regiment in the best possible condition for the trip. The selection of regiments was by senfority of the colonels. The Fifty- fifth also lies nearest to Kansas in the southwestern part of the state. There is perhaps not another regiment of guards men in any western state so nearly equipped in exact accord with the latest army regulations. All the rifies and equip- ment have been secured new from the War department at Washington. The men have canteens and meat cans and rubber blankets and both the blue and the khaki uniforms. They will go into camp as though prepared for an all-winter cam- paign in actual service. A perfectly equipped hospital corps will go along and there will be hospital accommodations equal to that needed in actual service. The guardsmen in the big camp will be divided, some going into the division of the Blues and some with the Browns, The Towa regiment will be part of the time with one and part of the time with the other, as ‘the commanding officers may designate. Regiment in Good Condition. It is not certain that Governor Cummins will be able to_go to the camp at Fort Riley. The event comes on late in October, at a time when he will be very busy in the campalgn, and will find it hard to get away. He has attended all of the camps of the four Iowa regiments since he was inaugu- rated and has planned that he would be in fact the head of the guardsmen of tha state at all times. He had hoped that the camp at Fort Riley would be in September, 0 that he could accompany the regiment with his' military styff. Adjutant General Byers will go and all the regimental offi- cers, and perhaps others from Towa. The Fifty-fifth regiment will have to be some- what enlarged to meet the requirements of the War department of about 80 men. There are over 500 in the regiment now. To fill up the companies to the required sixty-five enlisted men each guardsmen from the three other regiments will be accepted temporarily. It is found that there 15 greal rivairy dmong the men to get this assigninent. ~About five to elght men will be accepted from each of the other com- panies of lowa, possibly a few more. They will be taken from all the other companies, as there are men in every one who desire to go. In a few weeks a report will be secured from the regiment as to how many wili be needed. It is felt by the military officers that this lowa regiment, with a goodly number of Philippine veterans, with excellent officers, commanded by the ex- perienced Colonel Lincoln, who held a com- mission as a brigadier general four years ago, with all the latest equipment and per- tect uniforms, will do great credit to the state of lowa at Fort Riley. The camp there will last for ten days and the govern- ment pays all expenses. It will be the first time state troops have encamped with the regulars. Machinists Get Better Wages. By reason of a conference recently held | betwéen the officials of the Milwaukee rail- road and the machinists’ union & concession has just been made to the machinists all along the Milwaukee lines and there will be a slight Increase in wages. The former minimum wage of 32 cents an hour has been changed to a maximum wage of 34| cents un hour for all work in lowa, with, 341 cents in Minnesota and % cents in Lllis | nols. This applies to all machinists on the | system. There are several shops in the state that are afliated somewhat with the | Milwaukee business and negotiations are | now pending for a change in these shops. This affecis the shops of the Des Moines Union, which is a terminal system mada use of by the Milwaukee company. It 1 ex- pected the increage will be granted here. Fail to Effect Reform. The republican county committee has been making an effort to. introduce some reforms In methods to meet possible fraud at the primary elections in this county. In view of the allegations of fraud made at the last primary election when congress- men were selected ahd the demand for a recount of the ballot in certain precincts | which was refused, a resolution is pending before the committee to provide specifically for this recount. But the friends of the the necessary votes for the reform and It | will lay over until another time.

Ourder from H, May & Company Before you go home A R e — ITH the issuance of the October number, now on the news-flands, is answered squarely the question of supremacy among the magazines for woman and home. In your selection of a magazine you may choose from two classes—those you need and those you read for recreation— or else you take THE DELINEATOR and combine both. If the word “necessary™ is susceptible of a superlative, THE DELINEATOR is beyond all question the “most necessary™ of all the magazines published for Woman. Nine hundred thousand families proved this to be so last month; and each month brings its new thousands of members into the ever-growing DELINEATOR FAMILY. Among the fashions it is the “most necessary” because it is all the fashion magazines in one, with their mitakes eliminated —their exaggerations corrected, and the really successful novel- ties Stamped with the seal of authoritative approval—for if it is pictured in THE. DELINEATOR it is “good form." It is equally the “mo&t necessary” in the Nursery, in the Sewing- Room, in the Kitchen—throughout the whole house and out of doors in city and in country.
