Mud Creek Again.

Residents and property owners in the
southern portion of the city are considerably
interested in the outcome of a suit now
pending in the district court. in which
Emile Sommer is seeking to recover dam
ages for the pollution of Mud Creek. 1t Is
alleged that the creek at lines is SO foul
that 1t is impossible to rent property in
that vicinity, hence the suit for damages.
The Union Stock Yards company Is the de-
PENDANT in the case. Numerous cases OF the
kind have been brought to the attention
Of the city authorities during the last eight
years and a dozen or more council investi-
eating committees have waded through the
big stock yards sewer and along the banks
of the creek. In the past investigation has
shown that the packers and the Stock
Yards company turn I've into the sewer sew
eral times a day for the purpose OF purify
ing the sewage. Very little II anything
goes into this sewer now except the storm
water from the yards and the scrub water
from the floors OF the packing houses.
There Is only one solution OF this prob
lem," said a city official last night, and
that is the construction OF a big sewer from
the southern limits OF Swift's plant to the
river. This matter has been up several
times and 1 am confident that 1t can be
carried out providing the corporations
who use the sewer will pay a portion of
the cost"

High school Proposition.

According to statements made by men,
bers OF the Board OF Education a meeting
will be held on Thursday night for the
purpose of discussing the advisability OF
submitting a proposition to vote bonds for
a new High school building. Owing to the
opposition TO this project in the past 1t
seems hardly probable that the board Will
deem it advisable TO submit the matter to
a vote Of the people at this time. The
ground purchased for q High school site
is vacant and has been for about a year.
A great many people incline to the opinion
that the board can secure money from the
levy and from liquor licenses sunicient to
pay expenses and erect at least one wing
OF the proposed building this summer. One
interested taxpayer asserted yesterday that
II an eight or ten-room building was
erected on the High school site this year
the crowded condition OF the Central school
would be greatly relieved. A building such
as Is contemplated for a High school will
cost in the neighborhood Of $1,000 per room.
SO that an eight-room wing would consume
nearly one-half of the revenue expected
from liouor licenses. This could be handled.
IL is stated, were It not for the fact that
there Is the inevitable overlap to take up
and pay with this years receipts.

1.-THE st. Patrick's day entertainment at
Woodman hall Monday night" remarked
Rev. D. w. Morlarty yesterday, "empha-
sized the need Of a commodious hall in
South Omaha for public gatherings. So
great was the crowd that It was necessary
for the doorkeepers to turn people away
on account Of the limited accommodations"
While Woodman hall can, 1t is stated,
comfortably care for about 400 people, 1t is
estimated by the doorkeepers and others
that not less than 900 managed to squeeze
in. Should the Workmen lodges construct
a building at Twenty-hfth and M streets
this summer, as is contemplated, arrange
ments will be provided for a hall with a
seating capacity of about 700. Some busi-
ness men have suggested that 1t might be
a paying investment to erect a one-story
galvanized iron structure on vacant prop
erty near the heart Of the city to be used
for conventions, mass meetings, entertain
ments, etc. The matter is now being looked
up by some of the members Of the Com
mercial club and II a suitable ground lease
can be secured an effort MAJ be made to
erect such a building.

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Council Again Calls for Bids on General
Indebtedness Bonds.
RATE OF INTEREST SLIGHTLY REDUCED
Some Talk of Injunction Proceedings
to stop the city Authorities from
Making Contemplated
Loan.

Even though quite a large number Of
taxpayers have expressed themselves as be-
ing decidedly opposed to the renewing Of
the issue Of $4,000 OF general indebted
ness bonds, the council yesterday adver-
tised for bids again. Bids will be received
by the city clerk for these bonds up to 5
O'Clock Monday evening, March "a.
Yesterday forenoon Mayor Kelly signed
the ordinance after the council had met in
special session and passed It. The only
change made from the previous ordinance
was the reduction Of interest from 5 per
cent to ~ per cent. This reduction in in
terest will, should the deal 20 through.
save the city $3.50 a year In interest, or
$1,000 for the twenty years the bonds are
to run. However, with a reduction Of in
terest there will be a decrease In the
amount bid as premium. Bond buyers say
that the reduction in interest will take of
possibly $1,000 from the premium which
would have been offered had the bonds re-
mained at 8 per cent.
A well known business man, who is in
close touch with municipal affairs, says
that it is foolish for the council to attempt
to renew this issue at this time, especially
as the people are opposed to any such
measures at this time.
1t is understood that members Of the
Taxpayers league will at once proceed to
prevent the contamination OF the deal pro-
vtding the council attempts to dispose Of the
bonds at its session next Monday night. A
restraining order is to be procured, so It Is
stated, preventing the council from renew
Ing the issue should the bids be opened.
In this way 1t is expected that the PROPOSE
tion may be postponed until after the cleo
tion. The persistent efforts Of the council
to dispose of these bonds cause a suspicion
In the minds Of many that there is a motive
behind the action taken other than q desire
to save the city money.

Redmond Says Irt.h WIN K~"-w Efforts
Despite the Cost.
London. Jan. 4.--.John Redmond's
speech at Sligo is an Indication of the
attitude OF the Nationalist party at the
next session of parliament. The Irish
leader devoted some of the choicest
flowers of his rhetoric to discover the
Liberals who, like Lord Rosebery. are
little tired of Irish allowance. The
Nat:oralists have received an intima
ton that the alliance is to be thrown
over with scarcely any yelled con-
tempt. and Redmond advises Lord
Rosebcry to rally around him all
those rotten members of the Liberal
party. who called themselves Liberal
iElperiaists." Apparently the near
ing of all this is that the Irish party
will again fight for home rule without
the slightest regard for the feelings os
their former English allies.

Tuscumbia, Dec. 1.-(Special )-Lon Hughes. an employe at the Southern Railways neN shops. lies at his home in a preearious condition. with a bullet through his head, accidentally fired by his wife Wednesday night
 Hughes resides at ScottsboFo, Ala, and his wife and mother-in-law arrived In Tuscumbia Wednesday afternoon to spend Thanksgiving with Hughes. On reach ing home from his work Wednesday even ing after o'clock, Hughes playfully picked up a revolver lying on the dresser in his wife's room, and after emptylng the cylinder of it's five cartridges. jecting- ly pointed the weapon at his wife. There was another revolver lying on table in the room and Mrs. Hughes snatched it up, and likewise breaking the breech of the weapon, emptied, as she thought, the contents of the revolver into her lap, at the same time remarking to her husband to look out.
 He warned her not to snap the pistol, as 1t might be loaded, but she told him there was nothing in it ,and pointing it at his head, began to snap it She pulled the trigger twice, and it snapped. but the third time she pulled the trigger the weapon discharged, the ball striking Hughes near the bridge of his nose, just under his eye. and ploughed it's way through his head, coming out near the ear She is prostrated with grief at the result of her carelessness. Hughes is not expected to survive.

Debate Between Representatives Of

Auburn, Dec. i.-(SpeciaD-The annual debate between the Websterian and Wirt Literary Societies was held in Langdon Hall Saturday night c. Rudd, President of the wirt Society, presided. and Rev. E. A. DonnelIy opened the exercises with a prayer. The A. P. I. Cadet Band. un- der the direction of Prof. M Thomas Fullan. furnished several good selections of music which added much to the pleas ure of the audience.
 The subject discussed by the young men was: Resolved, That foreign immigra- ton should be further restricted by law The wirS represented by Cadets Guy David Hawkins and James Leonidas Murphy, defended the affirmative of the question, and the websterian, represent ed by Cadets John McDufie. Jr., and James Henderson childs, the negative.
 The speeches were considered most creditable by those who heard them and the debators were highly commended by the judges for the logical and forcible manner in which they presented their views. The speeches showed that the young men had sought facts with which to inform and convince their hearers rather than mere rhetoric with which to sway the judgment. The delivery of Mir. McDuffie was very good indeed for so young a man and was much praised.
 The judges selected by the young men were Rev. R. C. Jeter, Rev. E. A. Don nelly and George w. Duncan. The deci- sion, which was in favor of the negative was announced to the audience by MT Jeter in a short speech.
