THE OMAHA RIGHT OF WAY.
John c. Noe Makes His Report to
Mr.. Winter.


John G. Noe returned yesterday af-
ternoon from St. Paul where he went
to make report to Gen. Manager E.
w. Winter of his work in securing
figures on the right of way for the
removal of the Omaha tracks. He
found Mr.. Winter waiting to receive
the report. Mr.. Winter stated that
he would Immediately forward it to
Pres Hughitt, of Chicago, but gave
out nothing as to how he looked upon
the report. The figures were not as
low as he had been led to expect, and
this makes the outcome doubtful.
Probably the next step will be to Sc
cure the right of way over the neces-
sary streets and alleys, and if the
matter goes that far, it is likely that
Attorney Cray will be asked to ap-
pear before the council and make the
request and present the necessary
ordinance. The preparation of the
latter will be a difficult matter, as
there are so many interests to be
guarded.
If any of the property owners who
have not given figures to Mr.. Noe
want to do so they can do this at any
time now.

THE SCORCHERS.
Arrangements r1ade for the Coming
Races and Parade.

The Mankato Scorchers held meet
ing at Geo. B. Owens store last eve
ming to arrange for the coming races,
Aug. Sth, and the decorated and illu-
minated parade the evening before.
Favorable reports were made as to the
outlook for the races, and it was de-
cided to advertise them well in the
surrounding towns. A large attend
ance from outside of the city is ex-
pected.
Jay Wysong, Ed. Christensen and w.
M. Taylor were appointed a committee
on advertising land JohnWeis, Howard
Drake and E. f. Soaring committee
on track.
1t was decided to have parade on
the night of Aug. 7th, and to invite
all riders in the city, ladies as well as
gentlemen, to participate. All will
be supplied with japanese lanterns
and candles by the club. A serpentine
march will be made along the princi-
pal streets, headed by the band, and
the sight will be very pretty one.
Chas. Otto, j. G. Hub and E. f. Scar
ing were appointed a committee of
arrangements.
Another meeting of the club will be
held shortly, when the committee re-
ports will be received and further ar
rangements made.

A NOVEL PROPOSITION.
The Hanover Street People Have
Raised One.

The proposition of the Hanover
street residents, including Judge
Buck, P. L. Vranizan and J. w.
True, to deposit in the city treasury
the cost of extending the water mains
up that street block, in advance of
the Improvement, is novel one. The
charter provides that the city shall
pay for the extensions and shall levy
an annual assessment of five cents a
front foot on each side to pay the in
terest and principal of the cost.
There is question whether the pro-
perty owners can pay the cost out
right, and the board of public works
is in doubt.
City Attorney Pau stated this
morning to a FREE PRESS reporter
that the question raises nice point.
Otf-hand, he was inclined to think
that the property owners could make
the deposit and the city could accept
it and use the money in doing the
work, and that there could be no fur
Their tax upon the property. He was
Of this opinion because he thought
that such a proceeding on the part of
the city would be right and just. The
charter might not provide for such a
contingency, but even then it was a
question whether it could not be
done. anyway. No third parties are
affected, only the property owners
and the city being interested.
If this is found to be the case, then
the deficiency in the water fund need
not prevent the Hanover street PEG.

NEWSPAPER DAY.
AUGUST SEVENTH Is DECIDED
UPON AS THE DATE.
The Commercial Club Hears the Re-
port of Its Committee--Mr. Morri-
son Makes a Statement Regarding
His Flax Fibre Machinery, and
Makes a Proposition--The Matter
Referred to Committee.

The first business at the special
meeting of theCommercial clubTues
day. was listening to the report OF
the committee on newspaper day,
made by it's chairman, l.. 7. Hunt.
The committee recommended that
Wednesday, August 7th, be selected
as the day, and that $50 invitations be
sent out to all of the editors of the
state. The program would include a
drive around the city, visit to the large
buildings now going up and the news
paper offices of the city, and recep-
tion and banquet at The Saulpaugh
in the evening. Mr.. Snow had offered
to furnish an excellent menu for fifty
cents a plate. 1t would be necessary
to raise about $3.50 to defray all eX-
penses.
1t was suggested that the governor,
state senators and representatives
and the mayors of cities be invited,
but this did not meet with favor and
was dropped.
The report was accepted, and on
motion of j. B. Meagher the COM
mittee was empowered to appoint SUBJ
committees .~.
The committee on rooms made a
partial report, and was continued with
instructions to report at the next
meeting.
Mr.. Morrison was present and made
statement regarding his invention
of a flax fiber machine, which has
already been described in these col
umns. He stated that, the company
would have capital of $4,000, one
half of the stock to be given to him
and one-half to be subscribed by our
citizens. OF the $4,000 in money
thus raised, One-half was to 60 to him
and the other half be used to conduct
the business. The idea would be to
start in small way and work up. At
first one machine, costing $3.50, and
employing eighteen to twenty hand
would be put in, and as the business
increased fifty or sixty machines, en-
plOying ten persons to the machine,
could be put in.
With his process, the flax is not
pulled but harvested, and is also
threshed, a thresher going with the
machine, so the farmer receives both
seed and straw. 1t costs S. an acre to
pull flax for the present process, while
it costs but $3.50 to reap, it. The
farmer this year would receive So a
ton for the flax straw, and after he
knew how to raise it more salts
factorily for the business he would get
more.
The company would own the ma
chine and would manufacture it. 1t
costs $3.50 to construct machine. Mr.
Morrison said that it would be neces-
sary to act with expedition.
The subject was referred to the fol-
lowing committee: DR.. j. HI. James,
DR.. S. G. Talbert, J. B. Meagher.
The club adjourned.

THE SINKING FUND.
1t is $4,000 Less than 1t was Sup
DOSed to be

The recorders report to the council
Saturday night shows that the sink
ing fund is but 81, 1858. 1t will be
remembered that one of the last acts
of the previous administration was the
transfer of about $4,000 to the sink
ing fund, this being the supposed bal
ance in the current fund at the close
of the fiscal year. The charter re-
quires this uneXpended balance, if
there is one, to be turned over to the
sinking fund every April. The sink
ing fund commission, composed of the
mayor, recorder, treasurer and chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee, is required by the charter to meet
at least once year, and it is also re-
quired to invest the sinking fund in
city, state or government bonds. This
fund is entirely separate from the
other funds and cannot be borrowed
from. 80.
City Treasurer Williams explains
the fact that the sinking fund is only
about 81, 900 when it was supposed to
have been $4,000 by saying that as a
matter of fact there was no balance
in the current fund at the close of the
last fiscal year, and that the sinking
fund commission had no money to add
to it. While there was nominally
about $4,000 in the current fund by
skipping year in the bookkeeping,
there was really nothing, as the bills
payable more than Offset any money
that was in the treasury.
The public library commission drew
out the $4,000 which it is entitled to,
from the current fund, after the
March settlement. Had it not done
so it would have had only portion of
the sum, probably, as the money
would have been spent in other ways.
Now it has full control of the money
which was levied for public library

Should the expenditures continue
during the remaining nine months as
they have during the past three the
treasury will be bankrupt long before
the year is up.
After Saturday nights bills have
been paid, there will remain about
$4,000 in the treasury. The receipts
from liquor and other licenses and
fines, up to April 1st, will be about
$4,000. OF the Sc, 2l5.17 due the city
in special assessments, it is reasonable
to suppose that $500 will be paid in
by that time At the March settle
ment the city will receive about S10,-
900. Thus with the cash now on hand
and all probable receipts the city can
depend upon about S29, 500 to carry it
until April lst, which is only $1,000
more than it has expended during the
first quarter of the year. By close
economy from now on, the council has
an opportunity to bring the city out
even at the end of the year, but I'M
necessary expenses mustsbe cut off.
Among the debts which are to be
paid this year is So, S90.42 of notes
against the city held by private par
ties. That they were not made re-
deemable when the June settlement
was received was a poor stroke of
policy, as the city is paying steep in
terest on this amount while it has
the amount with which to pay it
in the various banks drawing no in
terest. Other Indebtedness Of the
city is $500 for the road roller, ST.
679.17 for water pipe, and $1,000 for
the electric fire alarm system.

ON THE WAR.
(By j. A. Williams, of Spring Island, member
of Co. E 4th MINI.

From sixty-one to siXty-hve,
Our country grOaned in pain.
Our flag had been inSulted
From the coast of California
Over to the coast of Maine.
1t was the base desire of treason
To o erwhelm US like a flood,
And destroy the federal union,
Cemented by our fathers blood.
When in the light of history,
On the march of life we pause,
We see the valor there displayed
Was worthy Of noble cause. or
The darkest picture ever drawn B.
To show the fate of men,
Is what our noble heroes saw
In a southern prison pen.
And when we meet to tell
The tale of our heroic dead,
We've no i'll will against the south,
We think they were misled.
When they fired on Fit. Sumpter
1t was an electric thrill that called
The heroes from western plains
And from New England's hills.
We rallied from the east
And we rallied from the west,
From the land we loved the best.
We met them at Fl Donelson
And Shiloh's field of battle,
Where the cannon loud did roar
And musketry did rattle,
And on our nations birthday
On the Mississippi shore,
We marched grandly into Vicksburg
And the weary siege was DER.
And we sang song of victory
On Chickamagua plain;
And we've erected monuments
In honor of our slain.
And we remember Hooker's men
The cheer was long and loud
As they charged up Lookout Mountain
And fought above the clouds.
For the campaign to Atlanta
Was wonderful, complete,
For the men that followed Sherman
Had never known defeat
When Sherman and his hardy boys
Were marching to the sea,
They left Pap Thomas in command
At Nashville, Tennessee
We cut our line of telegraph
And marched through Georgia s pine,
We lived on sweet potatoes
And chickens very fine.
And we sang a song of freedom
From Atlanta to the sea, a.,
And the darkies joined the chorus,
Twas the year of jubilee.
There was Lee and Stonewall Jackson,
With all their cunning, skill,
But they more than had their match
In Grant and Little Phil.
We would gladly record Grover
Among our brave and true,
But the record fails to showus
That he ever wore the Blue.

SALOON LICENSES.
They Will be $1,000 After the OFF,
cial Census Announcement.


City Attorney Pfau stated to FREE
PRESS reporter today that should the
city have population of over 10000,
when the official announcement of
the result of the census is made, that
of itself will have the effect of raising
the price of the liquor licenses to
| 81 900, which is the minimum sum al
lowed by law in cities of over 10000
population. For instance, should the
official announcement be made Oct.
1st that the population of the city
is 10, 125, and a new license is taken
out Oct. 3rd, the fee would be $1,000.
This would make no difference even if
the license had been applied flor a
month or two before Oct. 1st, as d
license legally issues when the pay
ment is made into the city treasury,
the preliminaries of advertising, fill
ing of bonds, ETC., having been compli-
ed with.
There are now thirty-two saloons,
paying into the city treasury $4,000
annually. 1t is estimated that under
ST. 900 license twenty saloons would
operate, and if this was so the revenue
| Of the city would be increased by
$4,000. AS the better class of saloons
will continue, some of the cheaper
buildings will be for rent next year,
the same as was the case when the
license was raised from $3.50 to $500
and ten or fifteen saloons went out of
business.
