The councll met in sdjourned afternoon sesson beca of the failure to get together Tuesday night and sustained the veto, only Councilman | Nicholson voting to the contrary. Coun- slimen Hoye and O'Brien were absent. There Is a movement on foot to open Fortieth street from Y street south to Mad- ison street. This will most likely be done as the ordinance declaring the necessity has been Introduced In the councli and re- ferred to the ' judiciary committee. The | street to be opened is through the Hughes tarm. It is understood that Hughes is not in favor of the farm being cut up and will demand damages, but the councll proposes to go ahead Some say that after this street is opened that the abutting property wiil be cut up into city lots and that the property will be placed on sale. There is also a scheme on foot to have the street rallway line extend south on Fortleth street from its present terminus on Q street to Good Luck addition. City officlals think that improvements of this sort benefit the city, ard that if any damages accrue the city will be able to stand the expense. For a number of years thers has been a demand for car service south of Q street to the county line and mow that Fortisth street 1s to be opened the street railway company will be urged to extend its line and thus give service to a large number of property owners whe live In Corrigan sddition. Puplls and teachers attending the Corrigan school are anxious to have this street opened and the proposed car line bult embers of your Carnival Fun Continues. There was a good crowd at the carnival grounds last night and all of the attractions pald well. The best paying of all was the | kangaroo court presided over by Judge Powers. In his work the judge, who ap- peared In wig and whiskers, and an old- tashioned coat with brass buttons, was as- sisted by Morgan Heafty. 1f Mr. Heafty ever lives to get out of the carnival grounds he will be arrested by Chiet Briggs for a knocker, Police Judge King was called to account last night. The wagon went after him and the warrani charged him with running away from a policeman who had ordered him to halt. The judge took the matter £ood naturedly and settled. Eddie Halpin was pinched for being a democrat and fined. While the judge was making out his receipt Halpin stole the bell on the judge's desk and passed it over to Billy Jetter. The result was that both went to jail again and this time they not only settied, but | prémised to be good In the future. B. E. Wilcox and John F. Schultz were landed and fined for walking slow on the streets. Bruce McCulloch, captain of the South Omaba calvary troop, had the pleasure of riding In the patro! wagon. He was ar- rested for being & soldier. but pleaded not gulity. The judge fined him just the same. Dave Garrett, chief of the fire depart- ment, and W. L. Holland, assistant chief, were sent for on a hurry call and when they reached the grounds the drill team attended to them all right. W. B. Cheek and Walter Slate were also on the lst. In the auditorium the dance hall was crowded and the other shows were well patronizeéd. The carnival will close on Sat- urday night. ‘West Twentieth Street Opened, Yesterday a committee from the Bast Side Improvement club waited: upon the officers of the South Omaha Land com- pany in reference to the opening of Twen- tieth street through Syndicate park. Sec- retary Kennedy of the land company prom- ised that the street would be opened in the daytime, providing the city council provided police protection. As there Is no money on hand to furnish special po- lice protection for this street through the bona fide bubscribers. Notwithstanding this hearing and such determination, Judge Read decides Upon afMdavits, and without witnesses o aring before him and with- out the évidence before him woich was before the councll that The Evening Bee should not be declared the officlul paper, and thereupon issues his temporary order of injunction accordingly. The passage of this resolution is not only in violatic the plain provisions of (he charter, but re- quires the members of this counell to stul- ity themselves after devoting much valu: ble time to the hearing of the dispute b tween the bidders for the official adver tising. In view of the lateness of the season and the probability of an early determination of this controversy upon a final hearing in the courts, there is now no pressing neces- sity for allowing this order to control or coerce action. The mayor and eouncil should place themselves on record, so far as they can lawfully and properly do 8o, agalnst coer clon of this nature and stand firmly for the exercisé of the powers and discretion | clearly vested In them by law. Sewer Plans Vetoed. The mayor turned down three proposi- tions for bullding sewers by day labor and paying for them out of the sewer bond fund. The message accompanying one of the. rejected resolutions not only sets forth the reasons in full, but suggests improve- ment in the sewer service in order that ocertain districts may not be inundated by heavy rains. The mayor say: 1 return L without my roval document No. 212 passed by your honor. able body at your last regular meetin Beptember 15, 303 This document I8 & resolution directing the Board of Publio Works to construct a maln sewer on Boulevard street from Third street to the river. 1 veto this resolution becauss I do not belleve that we should construct sewers in the outskirts of the city, when the sewers in the center or business por- tion are totally inadequate to carry off storm water. This resolution authorizes the construc- tion of a maln sewer on Boulevard street from Third street to the river in the south- eastern part of the city and is to be| bulit for the purpose of carrying off storm | water, or the draining of a largely wooded sectioh with but scattering houses here and there. Thero is no immediate neces- sity for this outlay, as the streets are all in good condition and no demand for sew- Market House Matter. Led by Councilman Back, and with the benefit of Councilman Hoye's absence, the minority succeeded In killing an ordinance on third reading which would extend the market place on Capitol avenue from Four- teenth to Fifteenth streets. In connection with the market house matter the M. E Smith, Byrne-Hammer and Great Western Type Foundry companies presented a peti- fon asking for the abatement of the mar- ket nuisance on Eleventh street, saying that the gardeners’ wagons block the street. The communication was referred to the Board of Fire and Police Commis- soners. Authority was conferred upon the Board of Public Works to rent stalls in the Capltol avenue market house without the payment of premiums after October 1. A resolution directing City Treasurer Hennings to bring sult for the collection of delinquent personal taxes was adopted, The comptroller reported as follows: I have the honor to report that, in com- liance with the provislons of ordinance No. 4100, 1 did, on September 22, 1%, at £:30 a. m., without notice, count the cash in the hands of the city ‘treasurer, which 1 found to be as follows Cash in drawer.

It is claimed by the city authorities that the land company should have opened this street a long time ago without asking for special police protection. The city council is willing to swear in a speclal policeman for the work in case the land company or the East Side Improvement club pays for the service, otherwise there wil not be any policeman. sazzagn g2y 35: g3 p22nss Bcl Commercial Natlonal.

Not Hanting MeCun The police are not wasting any time hunting for Duff McCune, who shot and slightly wopnded Charles Jones Wednes- day afternoon. Jones has said that if McCune was captured he would not prose- cute, so the police stopped work on the case. The colored club, since: the shooting occurred, has been closed and the other resorts frequented by colored men are being shut up.

Willlam Tetzel owns an English setter which he values at $60. A few days ago Otto Bonnevier, who knows a well bred dog when he see him, fastened his optics on Mr, Tetzel's dog and straightaway also fastened a rope to his collar. He led the dog up town und offered to part with him for an insignificant sum, considering who the dog is. In his complaint chargin Bonnevier with stealing his canine Tetzel placed his value st 835, but to Prosecutor Lee he confidentially sald that no ma money could buy his pup. The dog is well trained and has seen service on the plains and along the rivers where ducks are thick. Bonnevier could not give Jud Berka a | satisfactory explanation of how he eame to have a string tied to the dog, and why | he wanted to part with him for & sum less than one-tenth of his value as set forth in the complaint and was accordingly fined 336 and costs, just a trifie In excess of the | price of the dog he captured.

The annual meeting of the Nebraska Womens' Christian Temperanc- onion in seseion this week at Lexington is attracting attention of the women of the state. The meeting opened Monday with an executive session and will continue through today This is the first time the meeting has ever been held so far west and owing tp the in- convenience of reaching Lexington to many of the women the representation is smal than usual, but the interest has not and that all the women desirous of attending may be privileged to do #o, it has been decided to hold the meetings for the next three years at Lincoln, which 1s the most accessible to the districts where the membership is strongest. The election of Mre. Medora Nickel of Beatrice as a delegate from the Nebraska conference to the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, to be heid at Los Angeles In May, meets the approval of women all over the state. As vice president of the Nebraska Womens' Christlan Tem- perance Unlon Mrs. Nickel Is among the best known women of the state and will be « credit not orly to the women but to the conference. And this recalls the fact that it was the Nebraska conference that origi- ndted the controversy regarding the ad- mission of women to the generai confer- ence. Sixteen years ago Mrs. Angie New- man of Lincoln was elected to that meet- ing and hearing of her election the Rock River conference elected Miss Frances Wil- lard to represent it. Neither of the women were allowed 10 be seated in the general conference, but thelr election and the con- test that followed was the beginning of the agitation that has finally resulted in the amendment of the constitution and, for the first time, women will be seated st this meeting next May. ished Mrs. Dora V.

Plans for party harmony were lald and dealt out In large chunks last night at the meeting of the Fifth Ward Republican club, Sixteenth and Corby streets, by the few stalwarts who ssembled to dlscuss the Issues of the coming campaign. The olive branch was waved peacefully to and fro by reck-ribbed republicans, and the white-winged dove of peace soared gently through the atmosphere, while the caucus was In session. Harmony was the one prevailing element, and was evident in every movement, every gesture and every action that took place. Candidates were also there, those who ‘just happened in" for this time-stalned expression was used by all when they were asked to make known their views on the issues W. B. Christle was chairman of the meeting and P. B.

He made the following quotation: “Be- hold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell in unity,” and advised all present to put awAy the hatchet and extended a cordial invitation to them to attend.

Kinkead, a former justice of the peace and a candidate for re-election, was the first speaker, and told the assem- blage how he would deal out justice with- out partfality to all altke, and would make quick decisions, using the advice of an old judge, who once told him “never to medi- tate too long, but to be quick and care- ful” He sald that during his former term as justice he had only held two cases under advisement. C. J. Westerdahl, who is iring to the same office, followed Mr. Kinkead, and related the story of how he one time helped to elect three men to the legislature and was called a fool for doing so, but they put their men in office and then considered themselves the hap- plest fools in the territory. James H. Tulils, principal of the schools at Bennington, and candidate for county superintendent, was the next speaker and sald he was pleased to be with the voters, but he was sleepy, for he taught school all day, and then worked politics all night “However,” sald Mr. Tullls, “I hope the voters will not sleep, even if I do."" W. E. Stockham, candidate for county clerk, sald it was his first experience in politics and he thought he liked it, as he belleves he will lead his five opponents a merry chase. Mr. Stockham made the statement that he was fér the Fifth ward candidates from start to finish, after being asked by O. C. Echwerin it he had tled up with any can- Qidates from the other wards. A. J. Dona- hoe, who was introduced by Mr. Christie ux the next sheriff of Douglas county, made short address. in which he sald he ought his chance for election was excel- e meeting was topped off by a speech from Willlam A. Redick, who is a candidate for district judge. Mr. Redick sald in part: ‘In this judicial district we have a republican majority of about 2,00 voters, but we cannot rely upon every one, for the republicans don't always vote the same way. We must take the advice that was given the young lawyer, ‘Always be sure of your case.’ S0 we must work and vote together, for It does not do to be too sure of your case. Make a friendly fight. Thero are democratic candidates, put up under the gabel of nonpartisanism, but a non- partfSan ticket in truth in fact, Is deter- mined wholly by its mode of selection, and a judge is just as much & republican when he 18 elected, as when he is on the bench. Nonpartisanism comes in after the man is in office.” Mr. Redick said he once knew of a jus- tice of the peace in Ban Diego, Cal, who after hearing the plaintiff and his wit- nesses, would render judgment in his be- half. He was asked why he never heard the defendant, to which he replied: “It tends to produce doubt in the mind." E. V. Pratt of the Sixth ward sald thero were 150 offices fn the courthouse now held by the democrats, and if the two factions of the party get together, they can be routed and the republicans will “sweep the platter clean.” Other short addresses were made Ly Charles Bachman and ex-County Superin- tendent J. B. Bruner, who advised all the staunch and true to go to the meeting to- night and follow the dove. BUTHORN BOTHERED BY NAMES Advertise t Brings Him a Deluge of Suggestions for His Restaurant. Caterer W, F. Buthorn has arrived upon a degreo of trouble for himself that is but About seven removed from mental anguish. It is over his antique German restaurant. Mr. Buthorn feels that the decorators and the furnishers of other necossary adjuncts to this, for Omaha, unique restaurant will do thelr work on time and well, and that the new palace of gastronomy will be ready in all its part for October 1. That is not the trouble. It is the name. In the beginnipg Mr. Buthorn had about thres names which he considered mot nappro- priate, but which on the other hand did not strike him as the best fitting that could be found in the English and German lan- gua So he made what he fears may have been a mistake and bribed the public for suggestions. He got them. He got in round numbers 150, 50 he says. Now the trouble is that is sense of choice has be- come somewaat numbed; where at first there were only his own three or four names which did not exactly suit him now there are the 1500, Mr. Buthorn fears that he may never be able to make a choloe and meantime the sign painter is warning him that the sign, uniess commenced im- mediately, will not be finished in timi Some of the public have sent single names and others lists from which to choose. The Heldelberg so far is leader, probably through the recent visit of the "Prince of Pilsen.”” Bismarck is also popular and a number have mutilated the caterer's name for the sake of “Buck horn," appropriate because of the anth The Knowing Baby.
