DRAINAGE PROJECT IN COURT
Director Of Logan District Files Suit
to Stop Proceedings.
CHARGE OF FRAUD IS MADE
Three Directors Accused OF Conspir-
acy to Improve Their own Lands
at Expense of Other
Land Owners.

FREMONT. Neb., Aug. S.-Cspecial)-
Gerhard Monnich, one Of the directors Of
the Logan drainage district, yesterday filed
a suit in the district court to restrain
George osterloh, Herman Meyer and Henry
Schwab. who constitute a majority OF the
board Of directors. from proceeding fur
Their.
The plaintiff alleges that 1t was under
stood that the plan proposed by the De-
partment OF Agriculture, which preserved
Logan creek as a watercourse, was to be
adopted, but instead one entirely different
was decided upon and bids advertised for
The petition also attacks the constitution

raised In the previous case involving the
constitutiopality OF the drainage act, on the
ground OF the plan Of assessing the cost is
unlawful, that II lie made by parties d.
rectly interested and for their own private
interests and gains, and also as giving I'M
limited power to the directors without any
restraint from the property owners. The
plaintiff also claims that the defendants
have conspired to improve their own lands
at the cost of plaintiff and others like

An injunction is asked for to prevent the
defendants from entering into any contract
for the construction Of the ditch or in any
manner interfering with Logan creek. The
directors OF the Logan creek district have
advertised for bids to be opened August 0.
Plaintiff does not ask for a temporary In
junction, but 1t is thought doubtful whether
they will proceed on account OF the suit.
A decision in favor of the plaintiff will
probably open up a lot Of litigation over
other drainage districts.

MUST OBSERVE ROAD RULES
Chief DOnahue Lays Down Law With
Respect to Drivers.
POLICEMEN TO CONTROL TRAFFIC
VIII soon Have Two Men at Busiest
COrner who VIII stop and
Start wagons and Auto
mobiles at rider.

Drivers Of wagons and automobiles must
obey the road rules Of Omaha"
Tits is the declaration Of Chief Of Police
Donahue, brought out by many complains
against careless drivers, who lately have
been causing a great deal OF trouble by
taking the left side Of the road and in
not turning square corners on the busy
thoroughfares Of the city The chief has
instructed his officers to enforce the road
rules, and, II necessary. make arrests to
teach the needless ones a lesson.
Last year 165 arrests were made for
this offense." said the chief. and we are
rot going TO stand for that many this
year. This violation Of the city's rules
must stop.
The roAd rules Of Omaha say that q
wagon or sutomobile must be driven on
the right side Of the street. For turning
corners they must not make an angle. bun
do IT squarely. For instance. IL a wagon
is going north on Sixteenth street and
wants to turn west on Farnam It must
proceed along Sixteenth to the right side
Of Fsrnam and then make it's turn west.
AT the busy corners OF Farnam and
Douglas street, 1 believe. we will soon
have to adopt the plan used in the larger
cities Of having two policeman with whis e.
at each corner. This will be for the busy
hours Of the day. These officers will
regulate the traffic at these corners by
keeping the lines Of vehicles under their
direct control. They will stop the lire
Of wagons and WREN they wish them to
move along will sound a whistle. Omaha

system, and It is only a short time until
We shall adopt the plan"
The chief is OF the opinion that a strict
observance OF the road rules would reduce
the number of automobile accidents in the
city. He says the cutting of street corners
las caused a few accidents here and many
narrow escapes. He says II will 20 hard
with the joy drivers in the future who get
into trouble by refusing to take square
turns at the corners.

UNION, Neb., Aug. s~.-(Special THE
twenty-first annual old settlers reunion
was held at this place Friday and Satur-
day and was a big success, and there were
large crowds in attendance both days. The
weather was excellent for the celebration
and IL was without doubt the best one ever
held yet.
The Friday morning program opened with
the Modern Woodmen of America band of
Union, which furnished some good music.
The Lincoln and Omaha trains brought
large crowds. At 1880 Ex-Governor George
l.. Sheldon delivered an address to the old
settlers that was very interesting, and It
was enjoyed by all who heard him. The
ball game was between Bartlett. Ia, and
the Union teams, and 1t WAS a hard fought
battle from start to finish. Union was vic
torious by a score of 8 TO =
Saturday was the big day OF the cels-
bration, large numbers driving in early I'm
the morning and the morning trains brought
in hundreds OF people, and by noon the pic
mic grounds were a solid mass OF people.
Judge Barnes Of the Nebraska supreme
court was the orator OF the day. and his
address was heard by thousands of people,
all of whom we're well pleased.
The ball game the second day was be-
tween Union and Weeping Water, In which
the latter team was winner by a score of
5 to 2 The crowd at the ball game was
so large that It was impossible to keep
them off the grounds and field and good
playing was almost impossible. Immedi-
ately after the ball game a foot race was
pulled off for a purse. The runner were
Ward Cheney OF this place and Charles
Erwin Of Omaha. Cheney was easily the
winner.

Of great prosperity In the Philippines as a
result Of the enactment Of the Philippine
tariff law. He believes that many small
industries wifi be built mp IN the islands
under the market afforded Filipino prod.
ucts in this country. The FiipinOs are
worderfully clever with their fingers and
IN making fine straw hats. cloths, etc, they
are unexcelled. The president believes that
the free entry Of cigars and sugar will help
the islands greatly, although he does not
anticipate that the quota Of sugar and
tobacco TO be admitted free will be reached
inside Of ten years. There is a pretty
healthy tobacco trust in the Philippines,
formed by Spaniards and operated with
French capital. The opening Of the Ameri.
can market to Philippine cigars, the presi
dent believes, will make tobacco more
valuable In the Islands and will enable the
peasant planters to get a pretty fair price
for their products.

FAITH TRIUMPHs, SAYS sToOKEY
President of Bellevue College Sees
Science and Religion in Accord.

Science and Religion in Accord.
Rev. s. w. Stookey, president of Bellevue
college, spoke upon The Triumph Of
Faith" at the First Congregational church
Sunday morning, saying:
I'VE are living in an age of doubt; an
age Of the scientific re-establishment of
light and faith. The Darwinian philo-
sophical conception created a sensation in
physics, biology and sociology at the time
of Its launching. which has since died,
but the theory of evolution has given us
a broader conception of God.
The influence Of science on the Bible
truth is consistent with itself. The spirit
of today Is to test the truth, dominated
by the spirit of faith. Faith is the might
lest principle in the life Of man. This,
too. is an age of religious faith.
Man is in unity with his religion. Every
nation and people has some form of re-
ligious faith which takes the form Of one
p~re-eminent God. The trend OF modern
thought is that Of ar imminent God. He
that cometh TO God must believe. 1t has
been so in all ages OF the world.
1T is a natural thing to believe the
Bible. 1t 10 the inspiration OF meeting
the desire OF mans spiritual and moral
nature. II 1t does not do this, then man
must search for something more salts
flying.
THE Christian feeds upon the spiritual
food of the Bible. 1t supplies his spiritual
self as physical food supplies the material
body. 1t creates a longing to understand
and the need OF strength outside himself,
a strength that can only be obtained from
above. Faith is the assurance Of things
hoped for, and 1t is these fundamentals
that are supplied by the Bible. Take away
the Bible, the knowledge Of the way, and
what is left2"

HEMINGFoRD, Neb., Aug. s-(spe-

ABATES APPEAL ON GUARDIAN
Threatened Confusion in Bridget
Sweeney Matter Ended BY Rul-

To avoid confusion, an appeal from a
decision appointing a guardian for Bridget
Sweeney has been abated by Judge Ken
nedy. Before Mrs. sweeney's death and
soon after the sensational discovery OF her
and her husband starving with 5000 in
the cellar, a guardian was appointed for
her, but the people who were taking care
of her appealed the case in an effort to
keep her legally responsible for the dis
posal OF the property, This action was
pending at her death in May, and since
the will has been overruled the question
Of her mental responsibility Is no longer
debatable. s":
