BAD FUN WITH EACH OTHER
Two Rival Machine Companies
Get Into Row.


Get Into Row.
There was an exciting scene in the
council chamber yesterday. and for a
few moments it reminded the spectators
of the pool boxes at the race track just
before the Twin City derby was to be
run rather than a meeting of sewer
committee, which it was. The business
before the committee was not the kind
which the average man would expect to
be exciting and the aldermen and spec
tators thoroughly enjoyed the fun while
il lasted. The committee have had the
propositions of the two companies which
control the White and the Green ditch
ing machines for the use of their ma
chimes on the city sewers for some time.
Both parties wanted to be heard by
counsel, and both were notified yester-
day that the committee was ready to lis
ten to anything they had to say. After
hey Hall represented the White ma
chine, and if all that he SAID was true,
about all the rival machine was good
for was to iniure people and get the city
into big damage suits. Then Attorney
Williamson took the floor as the repre-
sentative of the Green machine,
and declared that the other machine
was mo good" and called attention to
the fact that his company had stand
ing offer of 81 900 that their machine
could do more work and better work
than any other ditching machine in the
world
Ex-Alderman Clotier, who represents
the White Machine company. didn't
like this, and. jumping to his feet, ex-
claimed: "You say you'll bet thou
sand on your machine?"
Yes, sir, at any time and any place."
answered the attorney eXcitedly.
'No bluff goes with us. Put up your
money!" said the eX-alderman. drawing
notwithstanding roll from his
pocket.
The lawyer dove into his inside
coat pocket and produced check book.
Here's $500 that says your machine
isn't in the same class with OURS" re-
marked the representative of the
White, dancing around and waving the
money over his head.
''Let me hold the stakes" interrupted
Aid. Durham.
snake it a thousand! make it a thou
sand!" yelled the attorney. "Our
money is here.''
Order, gentlemen; orderw COM
manded Aid. Vogt. BY this time all
the occupants of the Offices on the third
floor of the city hall had crowded into
the chamber, ana even rhe city en-
gineer, who has made it his business
not to interfere in the controversy. was
attracted by the unusual commotion.
Aid. Vogt said the committee had heard
about all it wanted to on the subject,
and would consider the subject in exec
utive session. After short conference
the committee decided that the machine
work required on the sewers during the
year 1890 shodld be equally divided be-
tween the White and Green machines,
and uniform price of Sc per day was
adopted for both. This is 50 per day
less than was paid last year.

The Northwestern Star Oil company

MRS. KIsTNER's STORY.
She Denies That She Kidnapped
Her Children From Their Fa-

Their.
There are apparently two sides to
every story, and now Mrs. Andrew
Kistner comes forward and gives her
version of the troubl5 with her divorced
husband over the three children, and it
differs materially from that told by him.
Kistner is the man who came from
Menomonie, Wis, to recover his
children, who were alleged to
have been kidnapped by their
mother. A deputy sheriff was sent to
summons her to appear in court last
Saturday, but failed to find her, and it
was supposed that she had run away
with the two little girls. She has not
gone. however, and was found Sunday
at $50 Tenth avenue south, where she
boards. She has been sick and could
not have run away if she had
wanted to. Her story, as told by
Mrs. j. n. Andrews, with whom she
boards, is that Kistner knew all about
his Wife'S whereabouts. He is said to
have come here over week ago, beliey-
ing that she would come and remarry
him. Mrs. Kistner came the next day
but refused to remarry her divorced
husband. She claims 20 have tried to
induce the boy Harry to go to his father,
but that he refused at first and only
consented after good deal of persua-
sion. Mrs. KiStner says she will appear
in court to-day and see that everything
is cleared up.

Tn the House.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-McKinley Of
Ohio, from the committee on rules, re-
ported resolution directing the speaker
to appoint committee of five members
to investigate the charges brought
against Pension Commissioner Raum
by Representative Cooper Of Indiana.
The report recommends further investi-
CATION of the pension bureau on the
ground that the public service must not
rest under even suspicion. The COM
mittee says that the only witness before
it was Representative Cooper, the author
of the charges against Commissioner
Raum. Cooper declined to give the
names of other witnesses until the house
OF representatives provided for thor
ough investigation. The charge was
made by Cooper that Commissioner OF
Pensions Raum, though insolvent, had
negotiated loan of $25, 900, upon which
George Lemon, the noted pension agent,
became the surety.
The house then went into committee
of the whole, Burrows OF Michigan, in
the chair, on the senate amendments to
the sundry civil bill.

AT THE CAPITAL.
A REPORT ON THE SENATE UNION
PACIFIC RESOLUTION.
gally-The Substitute Lottery Bill Re-
ported in the House.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-On the Sd in
stant the senate adopted a resolution
calling on the secretary of the interior
to state whether or not, in his knowledge,
the Union Pacific railroad has guaran-
teed the stock or bonds of any other
corporation; whether or not the Union
Pacific Railroad Company has paid out
of its earnings the indebtedness of any
railroad company; and if so, whether
such guarantee and payment are in ac-
cordance with law and consistent with
the obligations of the Union Pacific to
the United States. In response, Secre-
retary Noble says that the Union Pacific
railroad Company has guaranteed the
bonds and interest OF quite number of
other corporations, but has done moth
ing unlawful.
The report of the house committee on
postoffices and post roads, to accompany
the substitute anti-lottery bill, agreed
upon yesterday, was filed this afternoon.
The committee says that the present
legislation is inadequate, and more for
cible laws must be enacted to prevent
the use OF the mails by lottery COM
panies. The present law can be en-
forced by the courts only and conveys
no power to the postmaster general.
One of the main benefits to be derived
by the substitute bill, if it becomes
law, is that which makes the act of
mailing lottery letters and circulars
continuous offense, triable by any courts
through whose jurisdiction they may
pass, or into which they may go. A
greater benefit, if possible, will be the
closing of the mails to newspapers which
contain lottery advertisements and lists
OF prizes, thus partially cutting off COM
munication between the lottery and its
customers and reducing the number OF
its victims.
The substitute bill, the committee
says, proposes to cure defects in the ex-
listing law by means of which letters in
tended for a lottery company reach
their destination through third person
or agent. The substitute, if enacted,
would permit the postmaster-general to
deny to any agent of lottery company
the benefits of the registry and money
order system, and would result in COM
pelling the lottery company to obtain
remittances through express companies
or similar channels.
Representative Dorsey, from the COM
mittee ON banking and currency, today
reported to the house bill limiting the
compulsory deposit of bonds by national
banks to 81 900 in each case, with pro-
viso that the voluntary withdrawal for
the retirement of bank notes shall not
exceed $4,000, 900 in a month, and that
the bill shall not apply to bonds de-
posted to secure public MONEYS.

senate amendment in regard to the irri-
cation of arid lands. Hermann, of Ore
gon, also supported the senate amend
ment. Dockery, of Missouri, favored
such modification OF the existing laws as
will permit the arid lands to be open to
homestead entry only.
After the speaker had appointed con-
ferees on the original package bill, the
committee having risen for that pur-
pose, the senate amendments to the
sundry civil bill were read seriatim and
non-concurred in as to several. The
committee then rose with the bill pend
ing and the house adjourned.
