TRIBUTE TO SENATOR DANIEL

The Charlottesville Progress in a
recent Issue pays the following de-
served tribute to Senator Daniel in
the course OF an editorial utterance
against sending an instructed dele
cation to Roanoke:
Has any man OF this generation. or
OF any generation for she last hun
dred years, done more for the Demo
eracy OF Virginia, and the State of
Virginia, than John W. Daniel? In
peace and in war he has ever been In
the forefront. The shattered leg that
he drags along as he walks with
crutches is a memorial OF his re-
spouse when the wild alarm of war
called Virginians to the defense Of
their native soil from hostile inva-
sion. And whenever, from his early
manhood, "a crisis has arisen that i'm
perilled the supremacy of the Demo
cratic party of the State, he has
rushed to she rescue, and rallied the
hesitating ranks with his clarion
voice, from the mountains to the sea
ttOAA Vic OAOluaC VI tue lAUaDOkt.
Instruct John W. Daniel In his duty
as a Democrat; he who is from the
crown OF his head 80 the sole OF his
feet saturated with Democracy; as
thoroughly saturated as "a sponge
shat has lain for a thousand years
at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean.
We believe shat a Virginia Demo
cratic convention will endorse the
above and refuse to humiliate Sena-
tor Daniel by defeating him at the
behest OF Senator Thomas, his friend.
and allies, because he had the manli
ness and the nerve to oppose MIR
Bryan to his face. There should ht
no hesitation in Virginia between
Daniel and Bryan, and if we must
choose, let the choice be John Daniel

SUIT TO FORCE CITY COUNCIL
Action Filed for Mandamus in City
Advertising Case.
BEE TAKES MATTER TO COURT
shows In Petition How worId-Herald
Failed 60 submit BID Until Fiji
teen Hours After Time
Designated.

Alleging a wrongful combination and
conspiracy between members OF the
Omaha city council and making the claim
that the council refused the bid Of The Bee
Publishing company for the official print
ing for the ensuing year SOLELY for po-
litical reasons" The Bee Publishing COM
pany, through w. ]. Connell, its attorney,
Friday afternoon filed in the district court
papers in a suit praying for a peremptory
writ of mandamus to compel the council
TO designate The Bee as the official paper
of the city Of Omaha.
The entire membership of the council is
cited in the suit as respondents, but Presi-
dent L. Z. Johnson and Councilman II. B.
Zimman are excepted on account Of their
having worked and voted for the UNFOLDING
of the charter provision, under which the
contract for the official printing should
have been awarded to The Bee on account
of it's bid no only being the lowest pre-
scented, but also because 1t was the only one
before the council.
In the petition filed in court the full facts
Of the case are set forth. 1t is shown that
The Bee complied with the provisions OF
the official advertisement and filed its bid
before 5 p. M, June 80; that the bid was
opened and read before the council in its
80 NV ~ "NAeb % IhNHNNN1 - ~
charter, and that its bid was the lowest.
1t is also shown that the World-Herald
neglected to file its bid until the morning
of July /, after the expiration of the time
for the receipt Of bids, and that it was re-
fused on that account.
World-Herald Defaults.
The papers in the suit also set forth the
fact that the World-Herald, the present
official paper. having failed and neglected
to file a bid. induced and influenced the
said members of said city council. except
the said johnson and Zimman, to refuse
to take the action required of them by
law and to pass the said resolution reject
ing all bids, and directing the city clerk to
again advertise for bids for said adver-
Using.
Setting forth the fact that 1t is the plain
and manifest duty of said respondents,
under the law, to award said contract to
said relator and to designate said Omaha
Evening Bee the official paper" the petit
ton shows that the relator has a valuable
property interest and right in such desig-
nation and in the awarding of the official
printing contract, and for this reason is
the peremptory writ of mandamus TO direct
and require the council at its next meet
ing to award the contract to The Bee,
asked for.
The Omaha News failed to file a bid at
any time for the official printing and the
World-Herald's bid was fifteen hours late.

KEEP AWAY FROM CAR TRACKS
Chief DOnahue Gives Final Warning
to Boys Regarding Fourth
of July

Keep all explosives off street tracks, is
my last warning to boys" said Chief of
Police Donohue, regarding the Fourth of
July. Information has come to me that
parents whose children were arrested for
placing explosives on car tracks think the
penalty too severe for the offense. All 1
have to say is the law must be obeyed and
as the law is no respecter Of persons the
police cannot discriminate between Offend
ers, but will arrest every person, good or
bad, rich or poor, young or old, caught vio-
lating The law in this way. Placing ex-
plosives on car tracks Is dangerous and 1t
will simply not be tolerated, and parents
can help the police and save themselves
and chi dren from grief by restraining their
children from practicing this custom"
The police say the torpedo canes are not
on the prohibited list. but will be allowed
for use by the boys. So will firecrackers
and other harmless Instruments.
Every effort will be made by the police
to prevent accidents from the careless dis
charge of firearms and explosives,
Under the city ordinances" said Chief
Donahue, "the only thing in the way Of a
firearm that can be used is a cap pistol,
the ordinance covering the discharge of
firearms has been read to all the patrol
men AM NllCy AVE lGNVlNNh iilSNl Nllbl
to enforce the law. OF course. firearms do
not include other permissible explosives.
Up to this time no accidents have been re-
ported as the result of ante-Fourth of July
celebrations, which condition is unprece-
dented in the history of the department.
The majority Of serious accidents are the
result of the careless discharge of revolv-
ers and every effort will lie made by the
department to enforce the law"
No fireworks will be allowed in any of
the parks July 4, and policemen will arrest
any patriotic individuals whose patriotism
runs to noise. The Salvation Army has
been granted permission to hold a picnic
Saturday in Riverview park and the Swed-
ish people will hold picnics in Hanscom
and Miller parks. Despite the rain during
most of the month of June, seventy-twc
picnics were held in Hanscom park during
the last month.

TIRE denied he had ever mixed in the

Of the water board.

Millions.

The hearing before the County Board Of
Equalization on the proposed raise Of the
omaha Water company to 100000 opened
Friday morning with a general attack by
Attorney j. +. Stout of the water company

Mr.. Stout commended the statutory
provision requiring the board to be in ses-
sioB not less than three days nor more
than twenty days meant twenty consecu-
tive business days from the time the ses-
sion began. II this construction were
taken Saturday would be the twenty
fourth day Of the session. Deputy County
Attorney Magney held the statute meant
the board might meet Twenty lays, but
these days need not be consecutive. The
board has not been meeting Saturday.
After some discussion Chairman Trainor
overruled the objections Of Mr.. Stout.
Mr.. Stout then offered the return Of the
county assessor at S3,5O0,COO on personal
and S7gl 900 on real estate as beiUg the cor
rect return on the property. Mr.. Stout
refused to admit that the board Of as
SCISSORS had determined the value Of the

that kind would be hearsay and not ad-
INVISIBLE.
IRE Wants witnesses.
IRE than moved the county attorney be
directed to summon witnesses to prove the
amount Of the appraisemeut.
IF you are going irJto a hearing of this
case now said Mr.. Stout, Il will say we
will be hearing for sometime after the
county assessor has been fined $500 for
not having his returns in on time"
The question was brought to a head by
a substitute motion by Brunlng to leave
the assessment at the assessors figures.
Mr.. Stout spoke on this motion. assert
ing the action Of the board in proposing
raises on tFarnam street and then re-
jec.ing the raises was an admission that
property has not been assessed at 100 cents
on the dollar.
"All we ask, 'he said, us that the water
company be assessed on the same valua-
ton" This called a response from IRE,
who said property In the residence districts
had been assessed up to its full valuation
and other property ought to be valued the
same way.
I'VE have spent $4,000 to find out what
the water plant is worth and it Is no
longer a matter Of judgment. We know il
now" he said.

KANSAS CITY, October PA Sc
ries of infantile screams in the Union
depot last night attracted the atten-
ton of belated travellers An Indian
woman, in all the gaudy finery OF
striped blanket and beaded moccasins,
and carrying in her arms a papoose
about years old, had walked over to
the drinking fountain.
Much to the establishment of the
spectators, instead of getting a drink
she calmly moved the tincups to one
side and, placing the papoose on his
back, turned the faucet and proceeded
to give him an impromptu bath.
The youngster vented his disappToval
in an unmistakable manner, but was
not released until the mothers idea of
cleanliness was satisfied Utterly ig-
noring the crowd of curious onlookers
which had gathered, she carried the
bedraggled baby to a bench, used a
large red handkerchief as a towel, and
sat there as though the occurrence
was nothing out of the ordinary.

SUGAR SERVED SEALED
AS NATTER OF HYGIENE


PARIS, October 24.-The latest re.
finement in the way of hygiene at the
boulevard cafes in Paris is to serve the
three Jumps of sugar that accompany
various drinks in a sealed paper bag
just as has been done for some time
with rolls of bread at the restaurants
The precaution seems rather exag-
gerated inasmuch as coffee is still
served in cups without cover, open to
every microbe passing by.
Cigars and cigarettes will doubtless
be the next thing to be sold carefully
wrapped in paper covers, for Professor
Metchinkoff assistant director of the
Pasteur Institute, in an article on how
to avoid the cholera, warns smokers
that they ought not to lose sight of the
fact that cigars and cigarettes are cas-
lily contaminated, so that it would be
only prudent to make use of clean ci-
gar and cigarette holders.
