LIMBURGER, STILL LIVES.
Though He is Roasted" by Alder
man Mackey.


a complaint was made several weeks
ago that the bridge on Guadalupe street.
on the old CaStrOville road. was in a d.
lapidated condition and needed repairing.
Captain Mackey, being the chairman OF
the street and bridge committee, inspect
ed this bridge and yesterday made a re-
port of the inspection ana asked that S425
be appropriated to erect a new bridge.
The matter was put to vote, and Alder
men Limburger and Joe Beckmann voted
no" Limburger arose and stated that
his reason for voting that way was be-
cause he was going TO introduce reSo
luton to have S475 appropriated. Alder
man Mackey arose and 10 his determined
way said:
'Gentlemen. have lived here a long
while and always pay my taxes. Your
city gets about 5000 year taxes out of
me, and since nlSS0 the council has not
benefited me more than $50. Now | own
property near this bridge, but do not live
there. | don't care whether or not you
built the bridge, but gentlemen, when
you send me out there and take up my
valuable time for one day, and then vote
against my report, it is shame and
grooS insult"
Lmburger started to reply but was not
permitted, as the discussion was out of
order.
Acting Mayor French said: This is
out of order"
T'Well you all have it now. said Mackey,
"and don't take it back. am fellow
that never takes any thing back, you
hear me-"
Council then proceeded with the regu-
lar business.

Doctors in National Gathering.

MILWAUKEE, June The American
Medical association, the largest body OF
representative doctors in the world, will
meet in annual session here, beginning
today and closing June 10. Dr. Hunter
Mc(inire, of Richmond, president of the
association, said that the topics for dis
cussion would be Of international interest.
1t is quite certain that lively fight will
be made over the code of ethics. A strong
effort will be made on the part Of num-
Der of New York doctors to admit to
membership homeopaths, electics and
certain other practitioners. Milwaukee
was selected as the place Of meeting so as
to be near Chicago without being in the
turmoil OF the Exposition. The represen-
tation will number 1900.

Changing Their Plans.

PTTTsBURG, June Ga plan for the d.
vision OF the Amalgamated association Of
Iron and Steel Workers into three
branches, each to settle the scale for its
trade without reference to the others,
will be presented for consideration at the
conference to be held here today At
present the scale for all branches is
settled in general conference, and led to
the secession of the financiers last year.
The plan proposed comes nearer the trade
union line than any so far presented, and
is likely to be confirmed. Other PROPOSE
tions to be laid before the convention call
for the restoration of the ten per cent
taken off the fnishers last year, and the
restoration OF the fifty cents taken off the
price for working "a inch billets on
guide mills. There are also propositions
for continuance of s. so as the rate for
boiling. 1t is thought the changes in
procedure will prevent any disagreement,
such as led to the secession OF the finish
erS last wear.

FINANCIAL CRASH
In Chicago-The Run Continues
On the Savings Bank.

CHICAGO, June 6.-Between
twelve and fifteen hundred people
formed in line today at the Illinois
Trust and Savings bank to with
draw their deposits, although the
bank had remained open until
long after midnight last night,
paying out money, on demand.
The crowd at 10. o'clock this morn
ing was several times larger than
at sany time yesterday or last
night. At other savings banks,
also, a run which began yesterday
seemed to have grown in proportion
today. AT the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank last night the last
depositor in line got his money at
three O'clock this morning. Then
the bank closed until ten o'clock
this morning. The stockholders
are estimated as being worth a
hundred and fifty millions. The
bank has not called loan
in nine years. l.. u. Letter, who is
one of the heaviest stockholders in
the bank, said last night: 81 have
real estate enough to pay all
these claims, and it is at the
service of the bank. Every person

Annie Corbe, is poor, though respectable

been bothering her for some time past,
and that she repeatedly informed him
that his company was not wanted. This
aroused the wrath OF Altman, who, in
order to have revenge, called M ISIS Corbe
indescent names, and accused her OF
wrongs of most deplorable nature.
Mayor Paschal fined Altman Sl5 and gave

CALIFORNIA; NEW SENATOR.
Mr. Perkins Tells the Interesting Story of

The eulogies on the late Senator STAN

the occasion of the debut of the newest
Senator-Mr Perkins of California. Mr..
Perkins is pleasant speaker-as he is a
pleasant man. He makes no pretensions
to eloquence. He is business man, .and
he is much more likely to make bust

ooratory. He is hardly to be judged by
his obituary speech. He will give the
Senate chance to judge his qualities
more clearly when he addresses it on the
silver question.

This was executed by Alexis Fourier
of Minneapolis.
The most artistic and novel portion
of the building is an oriel window
placed at the head of the first flight of
stairs on the west side.
The window proper is magnifi-
cent stained glass but the archway
over the window has inlaid upon it the
coat-of-arms of the state, constructed
out of heads of wheat. The building
was dedicated June 20, when many of
the state officers and prominent citl-
zens were present and all united in
praise of their state building on the
exposition grounds.
The Nebraska state building occu-
pies one of the most prominent posi-
lions among all the state buildings in
jackson park. 1t is located on cor
ner lot and faces south on a magnifi-
cent boulevard which leads from fifty
seventh street. The west front borders
ON a small lagoon from the lake, and
its entrance is shaded by a few of the
forest trees which have been allowed
to stand in the old park, against the
continual strife for space.
The building covers an area OF o,Ooo
square feet and is two stories high.
The style of architecture is of the
Corinthian order. On the east and
west fronts are wide porticos with
large white stone steps on all sides,
which covers one third the length of
the building. Each one is supported
by six massive columns twenty-five
feet high extending the height of both
stories to the cornice. Over each por-
tico and resting on the columns is a
large gable. on line with the main
cornice, in the pediment of which
brought out in bas-relief is the Ne
brasl1a state seal, five feet in diameter
The whole of the exterior is covered
with staff made in such designs as to
give the different treatments of stone.
The cornice is five feet wide with pro-

is similar to the cornice of the Pantheon
of Rome.
Off the portico are three wide
double oak doors between each of the
columns leading to the exhibit room,
which is 7ox6o feet and used for the
collective agricultural exhibit of the
state On the first floor is also gen
eral reception hall 3ox20 feet, and
opening from this are the office rooms
for the convenience of those carrying
forward the interests of the state and
her visitors.
The panels between the windows in
the first hall have been decorated by
the counties of the state with grains
and corn worked into artistic pictures.
Gage county has been placed at the
foot of the stairway, and the map is
made of seeds and grain with nuts
placed here and there to show the
location of the schoolhouses.
