Chairman Program Committee.

l.a auA& im
The st. Paul biennial board met but once
before the summer vacation to look over
the ground and to make sure that there
was nothing to worry about until Septem-
Der. The only uncertain factor in the st.
Paul problem was the new auditorium,
which was needed to clear away the diff
culties of the evening sessions. The Peo-
ple's church is large enough and Ideal for
the day sessions. Now that the new audi
forum is we'll under way the various prob
lens seem to be reduced to fairly simple
terms. There is always plenty of work In
arranging for a biennial, but at the present
stage of progress there seem to be few per-
plexities and none of serious proportions.
The executive committee, made up OF the
executive officers, has acted during the
summer, appointing such committee chair
men as the situation demanded. Mrs. j.
w. Egberton was made chairman of the
Mace of meetings committee. She has Sc
cured the old state capitol building for
state headquarters during the convention,
the governor granting her request readily
and heartily. The building is splendidly
adapted TO this purpose, as there are a
United States postoffce, conference rooms
Grand Army OF the Republic lunching
room (seating about lbs at one time) under
the management of the ladies of the Grand
Army of the Republic, and ample toilet
facilities The building is within from one
to four blocks of the principal hotels of the
city and seven and a half blocks from the
Peoples church. 1t is also within plain
sight and easy walking distance of the new
capitol, where the governor and Mrs. john
son and the local biennial board will re-
ceive their guests Saturday evening of con-
vention week. Mrs. V. ]. Hawkins, 127
East Isabel street, has been placed in
charge Of the hotels committee. The Ryan
hotel was approved by the executive COM
mittee and the general federation officers
as hotel headquarters. 1t is an American
plan hotel within four blocks of the old
capitol, and its rates are from 81 so to Sc,
as will be seen from the official hotel cir
culars The Sc rooms are the parlor floor
| rooms Miss Elsie Shave, 4O2 East Ninth
street. whose name is linked with musical
progress in the northwest, is chairman Of
the musical committee. These three COM
mittee chairmen were the only appoint
ments made during the summer. The plan.
| inaugurated by Mrs. Decker, of appointing
| some member OF the general board to serve
| on each of the local committees promises
gratifying results nearly all these
women have been through biennial mill
| and their advice has sound basis in eX-
perience. The whole biennial board will
meet early in September. when the work
will be taken up in detail.

Reasons for Action.

In reciting the reasons for taking this
action, the order declares that the com
pany fails to have, and does not have
power sufficient to throw streams of water
to the respective elevations required by
contract. specifying the results of recent
tests. Also that the company does not
have capacity and power to afford ample
protection to property against fire, for
radius of 1000 feet from its hydrants, with
out the aid of either steam or hand en-
gines. as required In general, that power
is lacking to throw streams of water in the
business portion of the city over sixty feet
high, although many business blocks and
other structures are about eighty-fv feet
in height That the company is unable
to furnish adequate fire protection to build
ings in the residence district over one
story In height. 1t is stated that by reason
OF the premises the city has been COM
PEELED to incur and is mourning large an
nual expenditures to maintain fire engines
to secure adequate fire protection. Another
complaint Is entered that the company
has failed, neglected and refused to locate
construct and put In place fire hydrants and
the necessary water mains to connect when
the same have been ordered by the city;
also refusing to remove and relocate fire
hydrants as ordered.
Summing up, the water company is as
cused of having failed, neglected and re-
fused to extend its water system and
mains to meet the demands and growth of
the city. On these grounds the contract
is ordered terminated.
The attorneys submitted a voluminous
brief Analysing numerous court decisions
in cases OF like character.

CONTRACT ORDERED ENDED
Fire HydrAnt Rental Terms DisspprOvsd
BY Water Board.
CONDITIONS NOT FULFILLED THE CLAIM
Company Accused of Providing mad
eauAte Service and informed that
Reasonable But Not Present
Prices VIII He Paid.

The contract between the city and the
Omaha Water company for the mainte-
nance and price Of fire MIGRANTS was or
dered terminated by the Water board at
an adjourned meeting yesterday afternoon.
The action was taken upon the advice
and request OF Attorneys C. c. Wright
and John L. Webster, who explained that
in contesting the suits for hydrant rentals
amounting to about 100000, the boards
position would be strengthened They said
some courts had held notice or COM
plant of insufficient service to be neces-
sary for a successful suit to scale down
the charges for hydrant rents, while others
had deemed this expression unnecessary,
but that no court had condemned the
practice Of refusing to pay full hydrant
rent bills Il full service under a contract
was not given.
The lawyers said they did not anticipate
any shutting of OF water from the hy-
drants by the water company because the
city's interests in this particular are fully
protected by the franchise ordinances and
II the company refused to supply fire
protection its franchise became forfeited.
The vital part of the order reads
1t is hereby ordered by the Water board
Of the city of Omaha that the contra ct
fixing hydrant rental be, and the same is
hereby terminated. II is further ordered
that the Omaha Water company be, and
the same is hereby notified that the city
OF Omaha will not pay for hydrant rental
the price fixed in said contract. but will
pay the reasonable and fair value of
water furnished through said hydrants for
fire protection, less such damage and loss
as the city of Omaha has sustained and
the Omaha Water company to comply with
said contract and ordinance.

KENT'S KASH KOAL KONCERN.
Work on the Sardou avenue bridge
is progressing finely. Three spans are
now. completed beginning from the
east or Oakland side. The spans are
longer and higher than those of the
old bridge, and the whole structure
will be much superior to the one car
ried away by the flood. 1t is ex-
pected that it will be finished in six
weeks and should be opened for bust
ness by the first of the year at least
The east end will be about on a level
with Sardou avenue in Oakland. This
will bring the North Topeka end
about as high as Gordon street in Lit
tie Russia, and will require a good
deal of filing in from the the bridge
to the Jones residence, which should
be done. A very serious mistake was
made when the old bridge was built
and the street laid out connecting it
with Gordon street. The street
through Little Russia should have
been made straight from Gordon to
the bridge and this mistake should
now be remedied while it can be done
at slight expense. Gordon street is
one of the finest in North Topeka.
Its extension as suggested would make
one of the desirable drives in the city
and would be an immense benefit to
both Oakland and Topeka. And the
street should be known simply as
Gordon. Shall not this be done?

There was a disagreeabIe surprise in

out if they were seeing Alright for snow
a this time of year in this section of
the country is a trihe out oe the or
binary.
To be sure the temperature in many
places in the state was low enough and
the atmosphere was cloudy enough to
warrant the belief that a cold rain was
likely but no one looked for snow until
it actually arrived.
In some places the fall of snow was
so heavy that it took on the proper
tions of a real winter storm. This
where snow fell in a whirling, biz
zardly fashion for five hours, accord
ing to the reports received at the tele-
graph bureau of the Santa Fe. Other
reports received there stated that
there was quite a heavy fall Of snow
at Florence, Ottawa, EmpOria, and
also at Arkansas City. There was also
a little storm at Junction City.
Things looked loWery here in To
peka all day and some of the Oldest
inhabitants, who can smell snow,
thought that storm was likely to
visit the city but none arrived,
though rain began to fall at 1880.
A dispatch from Larned said that
snow fell there yesterday, but that it
was accompanied by rain and melted
as fast as it fell.

HOLMAN is PRESIDENT.
New Topeka Oratorio Society Elects
Officers for the Year.

When the Topeka Choral society
disbanded last spring, a committee on
reorganization was selected to report
in october. The reorganization was
effected last Wedr esday evening I'M
der new name, the Oratorio society
of Topeka, Kas., and upon an entirely
new plan.
The officers elected were Mr.. NJ. c.
Holman, president; Mr.. Clement
Smith, vice president; Mrs. WellTnan,
secretary; Miss Mcbride, correspond
ing secretary; Mr.. Stricken, treas
urer; Mr.. Wilson, librarian; Mr.. Geo.
3. Penny, director. and Miss Tracy,
accompanist. The name of the new
organization leaves no doubt on the
part OF the public as to the purpose
of the rganization-the study of
oratOrio. 1t was decided to continue
the organization on a strict invitation
basis-7S acceptances to invitation
were received, and p new invitations
were sent out to bring the total up to
100 voices.
The Rose Maiden was put in re-
hearsal, and the date for its perform
ance in the Auditorium was fixed for
the last week in November. The an
nual dues were placed at 81 for the
season. At the next rehearsal Mr..
Beach. of the Chicago Symphony
orchestra. viii be present to discuss
the plan of orchestral accompaniment
with the chorus. The Rose Maiden -
will be given, however. with organ ae-
compartment. A contract for the Nav
festival may be made with the Theo-
dore Thomas orchestra of Chicago,
which is very DESTROYS of appearing
with the society the third week in
May. Everything indicates success
full season for the new society. and
the plan of having only picked voices,
with professional soloists, is one
which will be welcomed by the pub
lie.

HOW TO LIGHT GAS STOVE.
City Clerk of lola Imparts some VaIu-
able Information.

This is where the bald-headed men
have a chance to chuckle with glee.
If you are not careful in lighting
your gas stove in the morning, says
the city clerk of lola, who was in the
city yesterday, you stand to lose your
crop of luXuriant growth of hair or
whiskers, as the case may be.
THE way you do it is this: You
should first throw in a lighted bit of
paper in your stove and turn on the
gas. But never turn on the gas and
then attempt to light it. for you will
surely be burned by the flames which
will dart with a suddenness which will
surprise you. We had any number of
accidents down in lola to begin with
and a lot of people had their hair on
their head or their whisl1ers burned off
or singed before they learned how to
start gas fire rightly.
Then another thing If you are GO
ing to connect your heating stove with
the gas mains, don't take off the stove
pipe and think that you haven't any
use for it. Leave it there: it takes
away the surplus gas which sometime s
is not completely consumed. You will
find out that for some reason during
the night that the fire will go out on
occasions though the gas is still feed

Paris. Oct. 2S.-There was one num-

variety theatre this week which was
not announced beforehand, and which,
therefore, the audience enjoyed with
out having to pay for it. The man
agement did not find the act so
amusing. After the performing ele-
plants had left the stage there was a
long pause Numbers heralding the
next feature were displayed on both
sides Of the stage and yet the audience
waited in vain for the two American
lady specialists (fresh from New
