TEMPORARY MARKET STALLS
City Council Provides Place for the
Truck Farmers Pending Mar
Let House Completion.

Arrangements were made by the general
council committee yesterday afternoon to

Marketmaster Gerke and the three sides
OF the square bounded by Fifteenth street
Capitol avenue and Fourteenth street named
as the location Of the market gardeners
wagons for the present. No fees will be
collected for this privilege. The truck
farmers have been demanding temporary
stalls for several weeks, as they are be-
ginning to do street business again.
In connection with this matter City En-
gineer Rosewater stated that the curbing
should be set back from twenty-four feet
to ten feet from the lot line on Capitol
avenue between Thirteenth ard Fourteenth
streets, where the market house stands
in the middle of the thoroughfare, in order
that adequate wagon room may be pro-
vided. This will necessitate additional paw
ing and the whole work will cost about
$1,000. Estimates will be prepared and
submitted.

limb for the inspection of the councilmen
and stated that when the plaster cast was
removed week ago the bone was found
united by only a ibrous growth, there being
no bone connection. Health Commissioner
Ralph made an examination before the
committee and substantiated the asser-
tions. Mr.. Bemis has started a suit for
$OOOO against the city, but offers to COM
promise for $4,000. He plainly had the
sympathy OF the councilmen yesterday
afternoon. and they assured him they
would negotiate toward a satisfactory set
uement as soon as formal notices concern
Ing the suit are served on the owners OF

BRYAN LAUGHS AT HILL

tions.
81 think" he said, Mr.. Hill is tossing
a penny to see whether he or Judge
Parker will run. The trouble with the plan
is that Hill uses so old a penny that he
does not know which side is head and
which is tail"
Speaking of the recent congressional ses-
sion, he said:
what congress has done is easily ascer-
tained. Find out how much there was IN
the treasury before the session began and
how much there is now. The wonder is
they did not take It all"
Asked his opinion on the Wabash strike
Mr.. Bryan said: The merits Of the con-
troversy between the company and its en-
ployes are overshadowed by the menace
of the process known as government by
INJUNCTION. The democrats have long been
calling attention to the danger that turks
in this abuse Of judicial power. but 1t
seems to take several object lessons to
make the people acquainted with a bad
principle"

WRANGLE OVER RESOLUTION

Resolved, That the North Omaha I'm

honorable mayor F. f. Moores for vetoing
further 1-'- "' -
Resolved, That this club respectf1lIv ask
our honorable city councilman TO favor the
Andrew Rosewater ordinance and pass the
sane so as TO allow the citizens to say by
the city of Omaha.
The above resolution, offered by ]. Y.
Craig, at the meeting Of the North Omaha
Improvement club Monday evening, caused
very lively debate between that gentle
man and Councilman Karr, who was pres
ent.
Councilman Karr took exceptions to the
resolution in that II eulogized the mayor
and condemned the councilmen at the same
time. He favored that portion Of the res
olution requiring him TO work for the An
drew Rosewater ordinance, but the first
portion met With his dissent. While ad-
dressing the club ne amended the resolu-
tion in accordance with his views. which
Immediately brought for'h a lively dis
cussion from Mr. Craig's side OF the hall
In defending his measure Mr. Craig stated
that all he desired was cheaper power in
Omaha and the privilege Of voting for IT,
He also desired to show his appreciation
to the mayor for his vetOing the open
door ordinance.
Mr. Johnson came to the rescue by stat
ing that there still remained several weeks
for action and there was no special need
for the adoption Of the resolution at this
meeting. 1t was consequently laid over
for one week.
The ladies in North Omaha will meet
next Thursday evening for the purpose Of
perfecting an auxiliary organization.

HOME AGAIN.
President Roosevelt Returns to WASH
ington After His Tour of the West.

Washington, June 6.-President
Roosevelt returned to Washington
last night from his memorable trip
of over two months through the
west. lie was given a hearty recep-
tion by the people OF the capital, who
lined the sidewalks as his carriage,
escorted by the battalion of high
school cadets, was driven to the
White House.
At the entrance to the White
House grounds the president and his
party passed the cadets in review
The avenue was lined with people
and the applause which greeted the
president on every hand was cordial
The fire engines of the city were sta
toned at the intersecting streets on
the avenue and the toliing of their
bells added to the welcome. While
the review of the cadets was taking
place large crowd of people repair
ed to the rear of the White House,
where the Marine band gave a con
cert in honor of the arrival home of
the chief executive.
The trip just completed has been
in some respects the most remarkable
q president ever took. Mr.. RooSe-
welt and his party travelled over IL
600 miles on railroads and several
hundred miles i'm stage coaches and
carriages. but not an accident marred
their journey. Not five minutes de-
lay was occasoned during the whole
trip on account df train conditions.
During the G5 days that the presi-
dent spent on the road he made POS
speeches, and had II not been for
Secretary Loeh's frmness he would
have made nearly double that num-
her.
One Of the remarkable features Of
tlr" trip was the ron-partisan spirit
displayed IN the reception of the
president everywhere.
