wEpEL AND HIS WINDMILL.
The Costly Dream of a Russian h.
 ventor in the West.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 The wrecking of an old mill at Hurley the other day in order that the material might be used for other purposes was of unusual interest to the people of that To- cality, for the reason that the structure had no counterpart on the earths sur face and was erected under the personal supervision of an amateur inventor who believed he solved the problem of utilizing the high winds of this part of the country for the operations of machinery in lieu of steam or other power.
 Wind power" was the hobby of Cor nelius Wedel, a member of the colony of Russian Mennonites living in the western part of Turner County, and the mill was erected to test his theory. Wedel was man of some ingenuity who claimed to have discovered a new style of wheel and attachment which would completely revo- lutionize the modern systems of motive power The flour mill was built in the fall of 1893 by himself and another Rus sian named William Semur.
 Wedel was very anxious to put his theory to a test. He invested all the money he had in the mill and induced Semur to sell his valuable farm and in- vest the proceeds therefrom in the mill. Then Wedel, still not having enough money to carry the project through, bor- rowed all he could, and finally got the mill finished and in running order. But it did not work just as expected. and the first high winds took the fans off his wheel. He was not wholly discouraged. however. and proceeded to repair 1t and put it in running order once more. But the wind took the fans off again. He could get no more funds to repair the mill and the disappointed inventor was forced to abandon the structure to his numerous creditors
 The mill was four stories high. It was octagonal in shape. having diameter of about twenty-eight feet at the bottom. If was a very odd looking picturesque landmark, and for years had been pop ular target for amateur photographers a wonderful playhouse for boys ana rem dezvous for thousands of birds.

NAOMI FERGUSON'S MONEY
Loan Company which Advanced It
to Her Father Loses in
Court.

Judge Fawcett has overruled the motion
Of the Conservative Loan and Trust com
pany to compel Frank Crawford and the
city of Omaha to show cause why the city
should not pay to the loan company a judg-
ment of s. 1850 secured by Naomi Fergu-
son.
Naomi is the daughter OF Charles Fergu-
son. a constable of Omaha, who absented
himself from the city suddenly some months
ago. II is related that the girl was injured
by a fall on a defective sidewalk and that
when the Judgment was secured her father
assigned it to the Conservative company
and spent the money on himself. In max
ing the assignment he signed himself as
her father and next friend, not as guardian
for his bond had not been approved and
this latter circumstance is one of the points
Of the suit. After his departure from the
city Attorney Crawford was appointed guar
dian" and served notice on the city not 70
pay the judgment to the loan company con-
tending that Ferguson had no power to
make the assignment until his bond as
guardian had been approved and for the
further reason that he had obtained no or
der of court before making the assignment.
Judge Fawcett dismissed the cause, but
without prejudice in order that the loan
company may bring proceedings in equity.

The State Supreme court has modified the
decree of the district court of Douglas
county in the action brought by William
c. Orr and others to enjoin the collection
Of special assessments levied by the city
to cover a part of the cost OF paving and
curbing Thirty-sixth street from Cunning TO
California street in paving district number
239. 1t is said that this means, directly and
indirectly. a saving to the city of $3.50, 900.
The district court had held that the city
had no jurisdiction to order the curbing and
hence had no power to make assessments
to pay the cost OF the same. The supreme
court held that the city had Jurisdiction and
may proceed to relevy the curbing taxes
against the plaintiffs property.
The city charter provides that curbing
shall not be ordered on any street not Or
dered paved unless a majority of the owners
Of abutting property shall petition for the
curbing. In this case there had been no pc
tition for curbing.

BRIcKMAKERS GO ON STRIKE
Demand Increase of from Ten 90
Twenty-Five Per Cent
I'm wages.

The strike Of the brick haulers has been
complicated by a demand from the brick
makers for an increase in wages and what
promised TO be only slight trouble, in the
opinion OF some Of the contractors, takes
on a more serious phase.
There we're some of the manufacturer
OF brick willing to concede the demands Of
the haulers. but Others stood out for fear
the brickmakers would follow in the wake
Of the drivers. The Omaha Brick company.
with yards at Second and Dorcas streets,
signed the scale Of the haulers and is the
only company now delivering brick. This
company thought its troubles over when
the demand Of the brickmakers came as a
clap of thunder from a clear sky to them
and work was suspended at its yards yes
terday pending a settlement of the trou-
Bile. A member Of one OF the firms inter-
tested said:
Were 1t not for the demand Of the
brlckmakers, the strike of the haulers
would probably be over. There were but
few OF us who we're standing out against
this demand, and the only reason we stood
out was because we feared a demand from
the brickmakers. This demand has now
come. 1t c~ontemplates an increase In
wages Of from 10 to 25 per cent; that is,
from % to 70 cents a day to each employe.
None OF the manufacturer have conceded
the demand at this time and there is no
telling what the result will be. We will
hold a conference with the men tomorrow
and we may arrive at some compromise"
The effect Of the strike is felt at several
places in Omaha where work is in progress.
The workmen have suspended operations on
the Barnard flats at Park avenue and
L~eavenworth streets and several small
Jobs are waiting for material. Within a
few days all work will be practically sus-
pended unless the strike is settled. as by
