SEWER PLANS
NOT SETTLED
Council Discussed Them at Length
Last Night and Did
Not Agree

The main question up at the council
meeting last night was what to do with
the drainage of the Normal Hill sewer.
The sewer as laid out is planned to
empty into the Snake river above the
ferry, but a change is suggested to
make an extension from some point on
the hill to the mouth of Clearwater.
Last night Mayor Kress warmly sup
ported by Alderman Colby, favored ex-
while Alderman lie Quime was of the
opinion money could be saved by sew
erng into the Snake. The danger of
this plan is that any conduit must be
carefully guarded to prevent high
water, or heavy flow of ice, from
washing it out. Any break in the pipe
would cause filth to settle in the slough
west of the city and thereby much an
noyance and a possible menace to the
health of Lewiston would result. How
ever, be this plan feasible, it will be
less expensive. by $4,000 or more. than
the one flowing down First street and
into the Clearwater. City Engineer
MdAOl EttNIflS - DIHttlSu AZ IGpOIl at
the last meeting for the latter plan, it
was concluded to ask him for estimates
on the cost of piping from Snake river
avenue to the channel OF Snake river at
favorable points below and above the
Lewiston Charleston bridge, said report
TO be submitted at the next meeting
when comparison will be made and n
definite conclusion reached. Arrange
ments were completed for a conference
of the ways and means committee and
city attorney for the purpose of fixing
the assessment of property included in
the Normal Hill sewer district.
The use of the city hall was rendered
the supreme court for the rest of it's
session here since the district court
next week will have to have the court
room.
Property owners in the Normal Hill
sewer district have asked for permits
sion to examine the plans and profiles
of the sewer and all such requests will
be cheerfully granted by City Engineer
Maxon who can be found in his Office
in the city hall.

LARGER CROWDS Than
EVER AT The RACE TRACK
Threatening Weather Fails to Keep People
Away and They are Rewarded by
Splendid Sport

In point of excitement and betting
yesterdays races excelled those of pre-
Vious days. At the pool box a book
was put on yesterday in connection
with the auctions and mutuals and the
crowd in the betting ring warmed up
playing the books to a finish. The
races yesterday were a free for all mile
trot, best two in three; a mile dash
selling race and quarter mile selling
race; two other races on the program
were not run owing to darkness
In the free for all trot Idol, Dr.
Bunnell, Bellida, Bell Storm and Phil
Judge keenan, shouted go. Belle Storm
the favorite in the betting at to got
off length behind and carried her po-.
sition until the back stretch when she
began crawling up, it was seen that
her driver was pushing her forward.
On the home stretch she pulled into
second place but with a squirt Bellida
advanced ahead of her but was unable
to catch up with Idol who was carrying
the lead in a masterfdl manner. I'm
der the wire they came in the following
position: Idol, Belladi, Belle Storm,
DR.. Bunnell and Phil N. Time 2:211a.
The mutuals in the first heat paid
s6.75.
The second heat was walkaway for
Belle Storm who carried the lead for
the full mile winning the heat in 224.
Bellida second, Idol third, Phil N.
fourth, DR.. Bunnell fifth.
The third heat was won by Belle
Storm who won the race. Time 224.
The most dsagreeable feature of the
mile dash was the misunderstanding of
the Jockeys who were under the i'm
preston that Starter Lydon had
dropped the flag. The judges rang the
bell for the horses to come back but

In this race Fonda. Old Man, Bud
Wade, Gladiator, Rothschild, Dun
blame Bulgarian and Winward started.
The judges decided that the race
should be run in thirty minutes again.
The betting on the race was heavy and
"Old Man" a favorite was scratched
and paid off, just before the time was
up word was sent over that Dunblane
was hurt and could not run A vet
Urinary surgeon was sent to the stable
by the judges to ascertain if this was
the fact, the surgeon confirmed the re
port, but many are of the opinion that
the owner of Dunblane was afraid to
let his horse go into the race as he was
in fairly good condition to win, which
would have sold him to other horse
men. The race started again with
Dunblane scratched and all bets de-
clared off. Fondo the faVorite. won,
Bud Wade second, Gladiator third
Time 1:44.
The quarter mile dash was the last
race called and had it been earlier in
the day a pretty race could probably
have been seen but the horses were
started after dusk and only the pat
tering of hoofs gave evidence that the
start had been made. Forty Four, Rat
tier, Pat Tucker Queen T., Judge
Thomas, Senator Dubois, Babe Owsley
and Gladys Bell went to the post.
Queen T. was played as the favorite
but Judge Thomas again demonstrated
that he was the better horse, Senator
Dubois coming in second and Queen T.
third. No time was kept owing to
darkness.
Harry Macintosh of Rossland was one
of the pleasing features of yesterdays

General Otis, owner of the Los An

with the spirit of the meeting, being
the owner of the only important daily
newspaper in the United States having
successfully opposed organized labor

of the meeting is to devise measures to
meet what employers deem encroach-

employers side of the trouble between
his paper and the Los Angeles local

ARE GETTING TOGETHER.
Northern Pacific Company and Enei-
neers Reach Partial Agreement.

From st. Paul Comes the news that
a partial settlement with the Northern
Pacific has been secured by the gen
eral committee of engineers, which
has been in conference with. the Of
ficers at headquarters for some time.
AS near as can be learned the matter
of wages was not the only question
in dispute, although that seems to
have entered into the discussions
had. Rank by seniority was one OF
the subjects upon which the confer
ence agreed. This matter seems to
have affected the engineers on the
eastern end more than elsewhere. A
new list of engineers will be issued
soon. This will equalize the ranking
of the old engineers on three divisions
and the men transferred to the new
division, created by dividing the Min
nesota main line and the st. Poul
terminals into two operating divisions.
The men will be given new numbers,
IAA CAS ANhA VI -
old employees and the younger engi-
neers will be preserved. The men in
the service are promoted by num-
bers.
This subject having been disposed
of, the committee took under consid-
| GRAFTON the matters relating to con-
ditions of employment, working rules
and wages, and how to secur a read
justment of the wage schedules over
the entire system. The members are
quoted as saying that there is little
prospect of a disagreement with the
management, and that the presence Of
Grand Master Stone does not indicate
i that they have been unable to reach
an agreement with the company.

KILLED IN
Particulars Of Death Of Father Of Harry
L. Wilson.

Particulars received of the accident
by which Alderman Frank J. Wilson
of Miles City, father OF Harry L..
Wilson, the well known young lawyer
of Billings, met his death last Tuesday
show it to have been unusually start
ling and the manner in which the I'M
fortunate victim lost his life was
awful.
Mr.. Wilson was engaged in the ice
business and attended to the daily
delivery to his patrons. About Z
o'clock Tuesday morning he drove to
the ice house and after having loaded
the wagon started on his rounds.
A short turn was necessary after
he had driven away from the icehouse
and the noise made by the screening
of the wheels on the rub iron fright
ened the horses, which happened to
be exceedingly nervous animals and
had run away on several occasions.
They plunged to one side and cramp-
ed the wagon so tightly that the
strain on one of the forward wheels
proved too severe and it dished, the
spokes pulling out of the hub. This
caused the wagon to tilt and Mr.. Will
| son was thrown from the seat and
:! onto the doubletrees. In this position
he remained a few moments and then
fell to the ground, falling directly in
front of the broken wheel. The horses
ran some distance before they could
be stopped by Sim Roberts, who wit
messed the accident. Mr.. Wilson's
body was found underneath the bed
the face torn and mangled, while from
a wound in the temple blood was
flowing. AS soon as possible the body
was removed to an undertaking estab
lishment, where a doctor made ar
examination and found that the neck
had been broken, the breast crushed
in: one arm and both legs we're also
broken.
At the time of the unfortunate oc
currence only three OF the younge1
children of the family were at home
Mrs. Wilson being east on a yisl
while the eldest daughter was absen'
at Forsyth, where she is teaching
school.

OF course, Mr.. Bryan has the undis-
puted right to insist upon the pay
ment of the generous amount OF
money that it was provided in the
stsealed letter. should be paid to his
wife out Of the Bennett estate, but
the exposition of Judge Stoddard as
to the manner in which the letter
came to be written is not calculated
to rebound to the credit OF the emf
nent Nebraskan. Despite his own
comfortable financial condition and
the high and lofty plane he assumes
in relation to matters OF morality, it
looks very much as though the col
onel were not above the adoption OF
methods properly classitiable as ques-
tionable when he thinks he sees a
chance to add a snug little sum to the
family holdings. Whatever the out
come of the contest, Bryan's reputa-
ton will not be bettered by the con
nection he had with the affair.
