Two restraining orders issued by the dis
trict court now tie the hands of the citv
council in regard to the passage of ordi-
nances. The first order was issued some
time ago and restraints the councilmen from
taxing any action toward granting the re-
quest OF the Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany for the vacation of a part of Com
merc1al street in the northwest part of the
city. On account Of the absence from the
city of attorneys interested in this case the
hearing on the restraining order has never
been called. Interest in the matter seems to
nave Tagged, and it Is possible that the
union racine has given up the idea OF build
Ing additional tracks In this city until ar
engagements can be made for such improve
ments without being tnterfered with by
property owners. No one seems to know
when this case will be called, and until 1T is
the council Is prevented from taking any ac-
ton whatever. Next in Importance comes
the order from Judge Fawcett, restraining
the council from passing the ordinance re-
pealing the franchise granted to the Magic
City Electric Light and Power company.
This case Is set for hearing on Friday.
September 1. and the city will engage special
counsel to assist City Attorney Montgomery
In fighting the granting of a perpetual in
junction. It Is asserted by the members OF
the council that the franchise now held by
the Magic City people Is not worth the paper
1t Is written on, for the reason that the arti-
Giles of Incorporation of the company were
not filed with the secretary of state until
after the granting OF the franchise and the
filing of a bond. The state law distinctly
holds that articles of incorporation must
be filed prior to the execution OF any bust
ness other than the organization OF a cor
poration. AS far as known the passage of
the ordinance was perfectly legal, there be-
ing nothing wrong with the record, but when
the attention of the council was called to
the fact that the state law had not been
complied with an ordinance was Immediately
introduced repeating the franchise.

HEARD ABOUT TOWN.

Frederic w. Taylor, director of exhibits
and concessions of the Pan-American eXposi-
ton, Buffalo, 1901 was a visitor at the ex-
position Wednesday in the interest of his
big show. Mr., Taylor was superintendent
of the agricultural and horticultural exhibits
at the Transmississippi Exposition last
year. He is visiting here for the purpose of
looking up the concessions that are in the
present show. Nearly half of them have
applied for space at Buffalo and he is on a
tour of inspection.
Mr.. Taylor has been in Buffalo since
June and will remain there permanently.
He will visit has old home at Lincoln, going
east again Saturday in preparation for a
visit to Toronto, Canada, where he win
speak at the British Colonial exposition that
is now taking place in that city.
OF the Buffalo show Mr.. Taylor speaks
in the most eulogistic terms. H states that
about $50 acres have been set apart for 1t,
buildings will comprise the housing of the
exhibits, and a feature of the buildings will
be the absence Of all galleries. The
architects are engaged at present in making
the plans. The Midway viii be extensive,
somewhat more so than the enc at the
Omaha show. Mr.. Taylor states that he
has already had in the neighborhood of 300
applications for space on the Midway. The
capital stock Of the show is to be about So
600, 900, with additions of more cash as they
are needed.

GLORY FOR WHITE AND KINNEY
Two Championships Are Decided In
Two Hotly-Contcsted Bouts ut
Dubuque Carnival.

DUBUQUE, Ia, Aug, 3O.-Tommy White
got the decision over Henry Lyons (colored)
of Chicago at the end of a twenty-round
bout here tonight. They fought for the 1876
pound championship. Lyons put up a good
fight, but began to weaken in the last
round, and White landed almost at will.
Neither man appeared to possess much
power. They Rugged continually from start
until finish. Hitting with one arm free
was allowed and they pummelled each other
every time they clinched. The decision did
not meet with the entire approval of the
audience, owing to the good showing Lyons
made in the first fifteen ounds
In the preliminary bout between Lewis
and Kenny for the lightweight Champion
ship of the west Lewis was all but out
several times. In the seventh he was going
and kenney was given the decision and the
entire purse on Referee Siler's decision that
Lewis deliberately fouled to save himself
a knockout.

The crowds at the exposition Wednesday
night were of such proportions as to throw
all others of this year In the shade. The
band concert was listened to by a throng
that filled every reserved, and a large num-
Der of additional seats, and there were
thousands standing on the Plaza. The fire.
works afterwards attracted large numbers
of people and the Midway appeared as 1t
did on some of the big nights last year.
The soldiers were more in evidence In the
evening and wherever they went they at
tracted a great deal of attention. Some at
tempt was made as guessing the number
OF the people on the grounds by exposition
officials and the unanimous verdict was
that there was in the neighborhood of 80, 900
within the gates.

DOUGLAS COUNTY TO HAVE A DAY
Several other Special Occasions Being
for Nenr Future.

~, III - G
Arrange for Near Future.
The management of the exposition has
decided to have a Douglas County Day,
and Is making extensive preparations for it.
September 8 has been decided upon as the
date, at which time the exhibits OF the
county will be completed in every particu-
lar and will make an excellent showing. A
program of some sort will be arranged and
every effort will be exerted to make 1t an
event of much Importance to the county.
September 4, Labor Day, promises to be
a red letter day. The labor organizations
of the city are taking great interest and
will start the ball rolling with a big parade
through the city, and then all will go out
to the exposition grounds, where a program
of races and other amusements win be
carried out.
September 5 has been set apart as a sort
of Editors Day, or at least all the editors
who publish papers along the Elkhorn line
of railway have been invited to come to
the big show on that day with their wives
and families and see the sights and enjoy
the hospitality OF the exposition manage
ment. The editors will arrive In the even
ing. and the next forenoon a reception

SOLDIERS TAKE WHITE CITY
Boys Of Fighting First Own the Whole
Show for a Day.
THOUSANDS FLOCK THROUGH GROUNDS
Preparations Under Way for a
Douglas County Day and otner
Special Days BeinR Ar
ranged for Near Future.

Wednesday was First Nebraska day at the
exposition, and 1t attracted to the grounds
In the afternoon and evening a very large
attendance. Excursions on several OF the
railroads brought large numbers Of visitors,
who came to take advantage OF the double
opportunity to see the boys OF the First
and to enjoy the exposition.
There never was a more popular figure on
the exposition grounds than that of the re
turned First Nebraskan. His blue uniform
was the open sesame to everything from
the entrance gates to each and every show
on the Midway, and he was unwilling to miss
a single thing. With the good -natured ia
miliarity among strangers that prevails more
or less all over the exposition and decidedly
more on the Midway the civilians got ac-
quainted with the soldiers and in kindly
greetings and a hundred other little ways
evinced the esteem in which they held them.
To the larger number OF the boys the expo
sition was an entirely new thing and they
were intensely curious in regard to what
sort Of a public enterprise had been carried
on in their absence. While a few hours is
as long a time as the ordinary Omahan
cares to spend at the exposition at one visit,
the afternoon and evening combined were
entirely too brief to satisfy the average
soldier visitor.
In the evening the crowd was the greatest,
attracted by the concert and the fireworks.
The aquatic sports were not given, as 1t
was feared that owing to the great crowd
the spectators might be pushed into the
lagoon.
Wednesday was children's day also and
they came out in large numbers in the after
noon to enjoy the concert arranged eSpe-
cially for them. The children are getting
to be the most regular and the most appre-

big Crowds Greet the Boys and the
Glad Hand Extended Everybody

Diu Crowds Greet the Boys and the
Glad Hand Extended Everybody.
And everything belonged to the soldier
boys yesterday. They went everywhere and
were received with oren arms and where
they went the crowd went. That is why so
many of the Midway concessionaires are
wearing smiles today: it was the first big
day they have had. The battle CT Missionary
Ridge gathered in a big percentage of the
sightseers. These are war times and this
panorama is Of particular interest to the
new and the old soldiers. How the
ourang-outang at the Hagenback wild ami
NAL show caught most everybody; curiosity
to see Darwin's missing link kept the place
well filled all day and evening. Captain
Lous Sorcho and his unique deep sea diving
exhibit were the center of attraction to the
soldier boys. They all seemed anxious to
see the man that recovered the bodies Of the
boys from Havana harbor and to know how
he did it.
Probably the best patronized attraction
on the Midway was the Scenic railway, not
for the view of the great naval battle that
it giveE but the tunnel. You see the boys
hadn't seen the girls for a year and 1t
was daylight all day long. 1t is safe to say
the cars were never so well loaded as they
were yesterday. All Of the best attractions
were well patronized and big crowds were
at the Philippine Village, Cuban Village,
Schlitz Pavilion, Darkness and Dawn, The
Old Plantation, the Artist Studio, Pabst
Vaudeville, the Merry-go-round. Streets of
Cairo, Hawaiian Village, Moorish Palace,
Waragraph, Cora Beckwitb and Hobson
Sinking the Merrimac. 1t was wonderful
how everybody seemed to be able to pick
out the best attractions, but then exposi-
lions are expeditions and people have at
tended them before.

Attempted Suicide.

Willie Martin, a young woman from Nell
son, Neb., attempted TO commit suicide at
her room in the Arlington hotel yesterday
afternoon, by swallowing carbolic acid.
Shortly after she had taken the poisonous
lotion her roommate, Pearl Vance. an en-
ployee at the Nebraska Music hall, entered
the room and found Miss Martin writhing
in agony, Doctors Porter and Connell were
Immediately and succeeded in
having the girl throw from her system the
acid. They were Inclined to the belief that
she had not swallowed very much of the
drug. Written on a card found on the
dresser were the words, "All for the love
of Fred. Good bye and from this the
reason of the attempt at suicide was be-
lieved TO be dependency over the lack of
affection on the part of her former lover,
Fred Glode, a musician employed at Con-
cordia, Kan, by a theatrical company.
