POGUE's RUN ARCHES.
No More Yet Made by Union Railway
officials

officials.
1t has been reported that the Union Rail-
way Company does not intend to comply
with the order of the Board of Works re-
curing it to remove the stone arches in
Pogue's run under the Union Station, claim
ing that special grant from the city was
procured when the station was erected.
IF this is true" said Mr.. Montgomery,
yesterday sit would be unfortunate for
people down town. The improvements that
were made on the run will prove of great
advantage to people toward the Arsenal,
as that section of the city will be better
drained than ever before. The worst arches
are those of the Commercial Electric Com
pany, on Willard street. Notice has been
issued for the removal of the arches under
the plant of that company. l do not know
what has been done in that direction. III
the arches are not removed before the
spring freshets come people down town may
be damaged.
1t has frequently been pointed out that 1T
was worse than folly to widen and improve
Pogue's run out toward the Arsenal before
the obstructions consisting largely of stone
arches that cut off at least one-third or
the capacity of the run near it's outlet were
removed. More than year ago City En-
gineer Jeup was authority for the statement
that there would always be trouble with
Pogue's run until the arches and other OBJ
structons were removed. Nevertheless the
source of the run was largely increased Tor
the purpose of putting Democratic cohorts
at work during the campaign, While MOTH
ing was done to improve conditions at the
outlet. South Meridian-street merchants
will reap a harvest of flooded cellars when
the freshets, come If the corporations are
not required to remove distractions. In
this connection there are stone arches in the
run under a bridge erected by the city at
South street. lust north of Hetherington &
Berner's place. that will have to come out.
There is of course, no reason to remove
them until the arches under the Union Sta
ton are removed.

under Fraudulent Marriage Act.

The suit of, Dora M. Hardin against
Ileander Hardin proceedings brought under
the fraudulent marriage act is on trial IN
the Circuit Court before jury. The plain
tiff is but nineteen years of age. Her maid
en- name was Dora Kent. After courtship
of a few months she and Hardin were mar
ried to escape embarrassing consequences
The wedding OCCURRED last March and in
August the pair separated. Before their
marriage Mrs. Hardin and her husband
were enthusiastic bieyclists. After the we'd
ding the girl says Hardin suggested they
sell their bicycles and put the money into
furniture. The wife agreed and Hardin dis
posed of her wheel. According to the tes-
timony. he then declined to part with MS
own Wheel. This is one of the exasperating
things Mrs. Hardin claims she had to put Pvt
up with. Both parties represent respectable
families and a host of witnesses have been
called in. The defense is that Hardin mar mar
lived with her had it been possible. The
plaintiff charges Hardin with cruel treat

MORRIs-sTREET NEEDS.
Property Owners Want River Bridge
and Sewers Improved.

Residents of the southwest part OF the
city met at the engine house, corner of
Morris and West streets, last night, to dis
street. A petition was prepared and signed
by over fifty property owners, asking that
footwalks be built on both sides of the
bridge over White river at Morris street.
The petition says that when street cars
and cattle are going over the bridge 1t is
unsafe for pedestrians. The board is also
petitioned to grade and make a 'fill' on
Morris street between Dakota street and
the bridge. in addition to which sidewalks
on both sides of the street are asked. The
petition also states that the West Norris
street sewer is connected with the trunk
sewer by a six-inch iron pipe. which is not
large enough to discharge the sewage. 1t
is asked that this be remed1ed. Complaint
is made that unSanitary conditions exist
at the connection of the WiSconSin-Street
sewer with the trunk sewer. 1t Is stated
that the sewage leaks into Pogue's run.
where a large pool of stagnant sewage mas
collected, from which bad and unhealthtul
doors arise.
A committee of citizens was appointed TO
wait on the Board of Public Works to pre-
sent the petition. John NJ. Higgins, OF the
Fifteenth ward was appointed chairman,
with instructions to ascertain When Inc
board would receive the committee. he
will call on the board for this purpose 10

The Council committee on public property
and improvements met last night to con-
slider Councilman Won Sprechelsen's ordi-
nance designating the hay market at the
corner of Washington and Pine streets as a
city market and providing that all hay and
grain except corn and wheat shall be
weighed on the city scales at that point be-
fore being offered for sale. Attention has
been called TO the fact that this last pro-
vision would work hardship to people
living in the suburbs. J.. +. Harlan. an
attorney representing East Side residents
appeared before the committee to urge that
an ordinance ought to be passed that would
insure all patronage TO the citys market to
make itself supporting. After hearing Mr.
Harlan the committee decided to amend
the ordinance to provide any scales
may be used 1t is also probable that Mr.
Harlan's suggestion will be embodied in the
form of an amendment requiring all per-
sons who come to the city 10 expose hay
and grain for sale TO keep their wagons
standing on the city hay market. The ef-
feet OF this will be TO abolish private mar
kets and turn revenues for weighing into
the city treasury.

Pas Prayers.

Once upon a time sickness came to
the family of the poorly paid pastor of
a country church, says the Omaha
World Herald. 1t was winter, and the
pastor was in financial straits. a num-
Der of his flock decided to meet ut his
house and offer prayers for the speedy
recovery of the sick ones and for ma
terial blessings upon the pastors fam
lily. While one OF the deacons was offer
ing a fervent prayer for blessings upon
the pastors household there was u loud
knock at the door. When the door was
opened, stout farmer boy was seen,
wrapped up comfortably.
What do you want boy?" asked one
of the elders.
1--WE brought pas prayers" replied
the boy.
Brought pas prayers? What do you
meant"
"Yep, brought his prayers, an
they're out in the wagon. Just help me.
an Wen get 'em in"
Investigation disclosed the fact that
pas prayers consisted of potatoes.
flour bacon, cornmeal, turnips, apples,
warm clothing and a lot of jelies for
the sick ones. The prayer meeting ad-
journed in short order. The prayers
were answered.
