WALNUT STREET OPENING.
The Commercial Club Takes Favora-
bic Action Wednesday
Encouraging Letter From General
ranager Day, of the M. & st. L.

At the meeting of the Commercial
club Tuesday the resignation of
+. z. Crandall as treasurer, owing to
the fact that he will soon move away
from the city to remain permanently,
was received and accepted. The exec
utive committee will choose a sue
cessor to hold until the next regular
meeting.
The special order was the opening
of Walnut street so as to get short
er route to the union depot for the
south half of the city.
M. B. Haynes, of the board of
trade committee, was present and
favored the opening of the street and
the construction of a twelve foot side
walk on a trestle as far as the Omaha
fill, the street not to be graded for
vehicle travel. He said that the
Milwaukee road is willing that the
street should be opened if no expense
to the road is attached. The street
is now open as far as the Milwaukee
right of way, or 100 feet from Front
street and 30 feet wide. He thought
that the Milwaukee road would fill in
it's property before long.
H. E. Hance moved that commit
tee of five be appointed to present the
matter to the council, the committee
to cooperate with the board of trade
committee. After some favorable
discussion this was carried unani
mOusly. The club elected President
Funk chairman of the committee,
which stands as follows: w. A.
Funk, E. /. p Staede, John FL. Cur
ryer, E. F. Soaring, J. E. Reynolds.
The following letter was received
from L. f. Day, the new general
manager of the Minneapolis & St.
Louis road:

The New York Mail and Express
says that "Senor de Lone, the Spanish
Minister at Washington, is singularly
quiet and inactive nowadays. He has
not once advised the American gov
eminent as to its duty since Mr.. Cleve-

fee" This indicates that Senior de
LONE recognizes the fact that the
American people have men at the
head of the government who under
stand how to run it without foreign
advice.

AW on Earth, when it
AM u SEI comes here on July
~WFTWlA 14th. Nearly all
SA| the instruments
are curious and
many of them entirely new to the
public, while others are absolutely
new inventions. Among the instru-
ments are saxaphOne, Scotch
Thistle, novelty drums, Canton
chimes, miranda, bowaphope, bass
clarionets, concertinas, Indian pipes,
cannibal conchs and others, all of
which are played upon by experts.
The concertinas, of which there are
three kinds, are performed by the
champion of the world, and the
clarionets are of very curious design
and pattern. The bowaphone has
never been seen or heard before, as it
is new invention and fine addition
to the musical instruments OF the
world. The Scotch Thistle and
novelty drums, also, are quite
novelty in this country. All these
curious and quaint instruments will
be heard and seen while the patrons
of the big show are wondering at the
living human curiosities, Johanna,
the so cages of wild beasts, "a

in store for the visitors, for there are

snake charmers, lightning calculatOrs,
child wonders, fire kings. dancers and
others who give characteristic exhibit

appearance to the curious. This is
all exhibited without extra charge
and this part of the show takes place

monster team of 40 is in the new
Columbus street parade, which will
take place in the morning the show

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY
Horse and Rider Collide With an
Electric Car

About $3.50 o'clock Sunday afternoon
there was considerable excitement for
q short time at the corner of First and
Spring streets, due to a collision be-
tween an electric train and a runaway
horse. The horse was ridden by Allen
White, a young man who had obtained
his mount earlier In the day from a
livery stable on Olive street. The horse
was a fiery animal and, was driven with a
rubber bit. White was riding south on
Spring street at a rapid rate, in fact,
those who saw the accident believed that
he had lost contrel Of the animal. An
electric car with trailer was crossing
Spring street going east on First at the
instant the horse and rider were trying
to cross First street; the result was a
collision, which knocked the car from
the track and sent the horse sprawl
ing.
White shot over the head of the ami
NAL, landing on the conductor of the
trailer, who was standing on the rear
platform, throwing both men overheard.
Several boys either jumped or fell at
the same time The horse was so badly
injured that he had to be killed, but his
rider sustained little else than bruises
and fright. No one else was hurt.

CITY COUNCIL
Matters That Will Come Up at To.
DAVIS Session

The meeting of the city council today
promises to be of more than usual in
terest. The mayor will send in several
veto messages, among them one return
ing the demands of the councils board
of health appointees without his sig
nature, and giving his reasons for this
action in more or less vigorous Ian
guage. It Is not believed that there
will be any debate on this matter, and
the council will merely reconsider its
vote by which the demands were al
lowed, and then pass the same over the
mayors objection. There has been some
talk of a detection in the ranks of the
''solid seven' but this is denied by the
members of the combine, who insist that
all of them have declared that they
will stand firm. AS to the other vetoes
there Is more or less doubt, but it is
claimed that there will certainly be at
least three or four.
The special committee appointed to
confer with the business men, oil produ-
GERS and consumers in regard to the
modification of the ordinance for the
regulation of the oil industry will also
present it's report. From the way in
which the members have expressed
themselves it Is believed that a ma
jority report will be presented, signed
by Messrs. Grider and Toll, recon-
mending that the provisions of the or
dinance remain unchanged, with the
exception of extending the time thirty
days longer in which to give the we'll
owners a chaxee to get their tanks un-
der ground on3 the sump holes cleaned
up. Councilman Baker has not indi-
Gated personally how he stands on the
question, but 1t is stated that he has

tions sr too stringent, and that, in def
