The Hunter Case,

The hearing of the application for a
receiver for the Hunter Milling Co. of
this city came up in the federal court
at Wichita Wednesday. Judge Will
liams at first stated that he would
refuse to appoint a receiver as he had
found a better way to settle the
trouble. He had reference to the
order of the court requiring the com.
pany to file in court On the first of
each month statement of its bust
ness transactions. This was salts
factory to the plaintiffs, but inasmuch
as Mr.. BOOkwalter of Indianapolis, is
not yet through investigating past
transactions Of the company, he asked
that the decision OF the court be not
rendered until this week, to give him
time for further Investigations and to
allow Judge Horton an opportunity
to take some action in the case.
Judge Williams granted the request
aud the final decision of the court will
not be made until this week.
The difficulty is now practically
settled. The court has virtually aD-
pointed itself receiver of the mills.
The inventory filed in court Monday,
as per order of Judge Williams at
Topeka several weeks ago, shows the
property and holdings of the Hunter
Milling Co. to be over Sl2O,OOO. The
BOokwalters' interest 10 the mill ex-

April. Delaying the matter would

Municipal ownership means better
Observation-Disclosures cheaper rates,
and purer water-and more of it-at
considerably less than consumers are
now paying for it. The city can save
enough money in a comparatively
short time to pay for both o. these
plants.
Gas plants are operated by l6S cities
Of England and Scotland, including
almost every city Of consequence, ex-
cept London: by 80 cities of Germany,
including 80 of the largest, such as
Berlin, Hamburg and Dresdin: by
BRUSSELS, tby Amsterdam, by many
cities in the British colonies, and by
II American cities, including Wheel
ing, Louisville, Richmond and Phila-
delphia. Electric lighting plants are
operated by over 200 American munic-
qualities, including Dunkirk, New
York, and Jacksonville, Springfield,
Little Rock, Topeka and Bay City; by
some in the Australian colonies, and
by ID German cities, including Ham
burg and Dresden. Street railroads
are owned and operated by SO cities of
England and Scotland, by some cities
in Germany, Switzerland, Holland and
OF the Australian colonies, by TOrOn-
to, and in measure by New Orleans.
To put the matter into condensed
form, municipal ownership of one or
more OF these street franchises pre-.
walls in over 100 cities, and is author
lied by the laws of a score If states
and countries.
Time was when private ownership
of all street franchises was the rule,
Now the chiefest cities of the world
are fOr>aking it. Progress 10 the art
of municipal affairs is all in the di-
rection of municipal ownership.
Municipal ownership is, therefore,
no new or over radical thing. 1t is
neither sOcialiStic, communistic, nor
pOpulistic. 1t is feasible and practi-
cable. 1t must be at least reasonably
successful, and it cannot be attended
with any greater political evils than
the no more universal municipal own
erShip of docks, ferries, bridges, mar
kets and the water supply. So much
the experience Of these other cities
indicates to US.

COLUMBUS, o., MayiSt.-(Special Tele-

afternoon, Columbus having a pitcher in the
person OF Bumpus Jones, who did TO the
visitors just what Chauncey Fisher did to
the Senator's Monday afternoon. Only seven
hits were made off Jones, and as Hager-
man was batted rather freely and two of
the errors proved costly. the home team
scored nine times and was never in dan
ger OF losing the game. Wolverton's base
on balls in the first inning was followed by
a sacrifice and two singles, one run scoring
and another man being retired at the plate.
In the fourth a single, two doubles, a sacri-
fee and an infeld-out scored three. Knoll
was hit by a pitched ball in the sixth, stole
second, went to third on McCauley's bad
throw and scored on Buckley's single. Te-
beau singled in the eighth. stole second
and Lyons muff of an infield fly of Buck
ley scored Tebeau. Hits by Jones, Wolver-
ton and Butler and Tebeau's two-bagger
| scored three in the ninth. In the second
Roat singled, but was caught trying to steal
second base. Eustace made a hit and Hol-
l%ingsworth beat q slow grounder to first
but McCauley flew out to Hulen and Hager-
man forced Holly at second. In the fifth
the Omahas again made three hits in an
inning without scoring. McCauley, Hager'

Superintendent Dimmock Arranges Hi;
Summer Schedule Of Runs.
CARS START EARLIER AND RUN ATEF
Aims to Land Passengers In omaha
By +; and bring Them Home
as Bntc MS I O'Clock in
the Morning.

Commencing today a new time card will
go into effect on all the lines OF the motor
company. In the preparation of the new
schedule, which provides for an increased
service, superintendent Dimmock has, as far
as practicable, taken into consideration the
varied interests of the different classes of
people who travel between Omaha and Coun-
Gil Bluffs and has endeavored to so arrange
the train service as to meet the wants of
all. Under the new time card, provided the
travel warrants 1t, persons working in South
Omaha and living in this city will get a
train that will enable them to reach the
city Of packing houses in time TO go to work
at Z o'clock in the morning. This under
the old schedule was not possible. The fire.
quency of the morning trains will be such
that all people working in Omaha can OBJ
tain trains in the morning that will land
them across the river and give them ample
time to reach their places of business by
$3.50, 6, $50, z, or 1880 o'clock. After 1870
o'clock a regular ten minute service will be
the schedule until IL 80 at night, when the
Roadway changes to fifteen minutes between
the cars, which will, after midnight be in
creased to twenty-five minutes. The last
train will leave Fourteenth and Howard
streets in Omaha at 1 o'clock in the morn
ing, although on special occasions provision
will be made to bring gack passengers al
an even later hour than that.
Every train from the first car that leaves
the house in the morning until the last train
goes in at night will have a sure connec.
ton at Pearl street and Broadway for every
point in the city. Hitherto people living or
the Paramount park line have had to be
content with a twenty-five minute service
Under the new time card they will now have
n rapulnr ep.rninpfo cnryica ,ptJ I o',lool
at night. All the trains on the Omaha linC
will as heretofore run alternately around
the loop at Oak and Pierce streets and dowr
South Main street to the Rock Island depot
A local train will connect at Pearl anC
Broadway with the Omaha car that goe
around the loop. The cars on the Fiftl
avenue line will be run direct between tn,

without change at Pearl and Broadway.

Temporary Halt in Recruiting.

Recruiting Cor the local company of in
fantry which had been started by Major
Louis l. Edison of this city the day following
the second call issued by President McKin-
ley for more volunteers has been stopped,
although those interested hope only tempo
rarily. Major Edison yesterday received an
answer from Governor Shaw, to whom he
had written, asking for authority to organize
q local company, in which Governor Shaw
said as yet he had no information as to the
arm of the service that would be required
from iowa or how the quota would be made
up. At present he did not know whether a
call would be made for more infantry or not,
but IL there was he would be pleased to ac-
cept a company organized in Council
Bluffs. No further steps to recruit for the
company, which now numbers some fifty
young men, will be taken until something
more definite is known as to whether 1t will
be wanted or not.
