MANILA. Jan l6.-The situation here

An accident nigh, prccipitate trouble
but the idea of rebel attack upon
Manila is ridiculous as the Americans
absolutely control the position.
Aguinaldo has republished the second

Of General Otis. which was recalled on

( SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. ]


The finance committee of the city council
has declined to pass upon a number of bills
until the correctness of the same is estab-
lished. There is liable to be a fight on the
payment of some of the claims as a differ
ence of opinion appears to exist regarding
the right of the council to appropriate
money for certain PURPOSES. Garbage
Master Lenagh has claims amounting to
several hundred dollars which may be dis
puted on the ground that the city has no
authority to pay for hauling garbage. Mr..
Lenagh has performed a great deal of work
this summer in cleaning alleys, cess pools,
etc., for which he has received no pay.
This work has been ordered by the sanitary
inspector and in many instances Lenagh
has been unable to collect from the prop
erty owner His only show of securing any
compensation Is for the city to allow him
pay for the work performed upon the order
of the sanitary inspector, The sanitary
laws are in such shape now that the cost
OF removing garbage, ETC., cannot be
legally taxed UP against the property and
unless the property owners or tenants vol
unfairly pay for such work Lenagh cannot
get his money unless the city sees fit to
liquidate. This sanitary question has been
a perplexing one but it seems to be as far
away from solution as 1t wis a year ago.
Another bill which is being held up by
the finance committee is one for $1O5 for
horse hire for Sanitary Inspector Montague.
1t is held by the committee that the ordi-
nance creating the office of sanitary inspec-
tor makes no proisiovn for an allowance
for horse hire. Inspector Montague has filed
bills at the rate of SIS a month for the
keeping Of his horse. The inspector GER
tainly needs horse in order to attend to
his numerous duties and can scarcely do
without one, but there is no warrant of law
for the payment of the claim.
A. Belolavek has claim OF s99.1O for
feeding prisoners which is also being
held back. Members of the committee think
the bill is a little high and are desirous of
checking up the number of meals furnished
with the number of prisoners. Bills for
the printing of ordinances and stationery
are being held back In order to give the
committee chance to check up the work
with the bills and in case an overcharge is
found 1t is reported that the bills will
be hung up for some time to come.

generalization is a distressingly common
occurrence.
"A certain class of sharpers make a
living by victimizing pawnbrokers, and
they regard them as tolerably easy prey.
Colored stones are often used for that pur-
pose and / have known dozens OF large
loans to be made on paste rubies and en-

HE saw a fine field OF operation in the
pawnshops and these painted diamonds as
they were called, were worked on all over
the country before the trick was exposed

PILING UP TESTIMONY.
Nothing But Praise From
All Sources.
Stands High in the Estimation of
These Who Have Tested
Its Merits.

There Is no doubt whatever as to the
merits OF Morrows Kid-ne- oids, judging
from the good results obtained right here
in Omaha, Morrow's Kid-ne- oids are used
daily by many Omaha citizens and they alr
testify without any hesitancy about the
great good they have received by the use
of this great kidney preparation. Kid-ne-
oids will positively cure kidney backachc,
dizziness, sleeplessness nervousness and all
urinary disorders arising from q disordered
condition of the kidneys. Another citizen
adds testimony, as follows:
Mr.. w, II. Ellington, 220S South 10th
street says: For four or Ave years | have
suffered from kidney troubles, also with
swelling CT the feet and limbs. and they
would pain me so l could scarcely get any
sleep. Hearing about the wonderful cures
Morrow's kid-ne-oids had affected. de-
cided to try them. l took them according
to directions and in a few days the pains all
left me and the swelling disappeared from

MURDER ON A COUNTRY ROAD
Fatal Quarrel Between Two Prominen
Dixon County Farmers.
HENRY MARION IS INSTANTLY KILLED
Maurice Casey knocks Him Down
After wordy War and Jumps
His stomnch-Casey
Gives Himself Up.

ALLEN, Neb.. Aug. 24-(Special Tele-
gram.)-A long standing feud between two
prominent farmers living some distance
from Allen resulted in horrible murder on
county road this morning.
Henry Marion. a prominent and wealthy
farmer we'll known in this section of the
country, became engaged In an alteration
with Maurice Casey. another leading far
mer. Words finally led to blows. Casey
knocked Marron down and jumped on his
stomach, killing him almost instantly.
When Casey realized that he had commit
ted an awful crime he gave himself UP to
the authorities in this city and was locked
up
The unfortunate affair has created an un-
usual sensation throughout this section OF
the country. Mr.. Marion is an old settler
In this county and one of It's wealtbiest
farmers.
The particular difficulty which led to the
assault and killing is not known. The
probabilities are that Casey had no idea OF
killing Marion; but his being an old and
somewhat feeble man. the jump on his
stomach was more than he could stand.
He expired almost instantly after Casey
landed with full weight on his body. Casey
is very anxious over the unfortunate affair
he over the occurrence.
The facts did not become known here un-
til late this afternoon, when Casey came to
deliver himself up. The coroner will make
an investigation tomorrow.

REPULsED WITH GREAT Loss.
Comic-TrnEic story of the Great Tai
Ping Rebellion.


At the time of the Tai-Ping rebellion
that is to say in 1s54-says a writer in
Harper's Magazine, a shrewd and ambitious
"house boy" named Aling, employed by one
of the foreign business houses of Shanghai,
being fired by the prospect of unlimited
loot organized very successful rebellion
against the imperial authority. He pro-
claimed himself general, and all of his as
sistants officers of high degree, and one
night he took possession of the walled
Chinese city in the name of Tai-ping-wang.
The capture was not without bloodshed; a
few out of the multitude of Cinnamon made
some resistance. but they were promptly
slain and their heads hung on hooks as
ornaments to the gate of entrance.
The capture. or rather change of owner
ship of the city, was reported to the en-
peror, who dispatched an army to recapture
1t. In laying siege to the city the army
selected the site for it's fort with great
judgment, for between the points of the
extreme ranges OF the guns Of both sides
there was safety zone about half a mile
wide, in which battles were frequent and

crackers, beating of gongs and great noise

Feeder Sheep Wanted.

There is a big demand at the present
time for feeder sheep; in fact, just now the
demand is considerable in excess OF the
supply Commission men doing business
at the Live Stock exchange have orders or
their books now for about $4,000 head ct
feeder sheep. One firm alone has an order
for 10000 head to be purchased here and
sent to the country to fatten. Owners Oh
flocks throughout the west are being ad-
vised Of the demand here, and 1t is thought
that before long the sheep receipts wdl
show large increase. The market is con-
sidered favorable one for the purchase OF
feeders and that perhaps accounts for the
