AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
City Council Puts Through Levy
Ordinance in Blank.
FIGURES TO BE INSERTED LATER
d. Cornelius Olney, I'm Jail on vagraney
Charge, Cured of Discrimination
of Illness - Ineraham
Goes West.


The South Omaha city council was called
In special session last night to submit the
levy ordinance. 1t was agreed early in the
month to adjourn the council for one month,
but It was found that the levy ordinance
In order to be legal must be passed be-
fore August 25 To meet this necessity
the council assembled last night and the
ordinance was given its first reading and
referred to the judiciary committee.
The ordinance was introduced in blank.
that is, the number OF mills Of the levy
were not inserted. The reason for this was
that the council committee and the treas
urer had not time TO figure out the re-
quired mill levy for each OF the several
funds and have all complete last night. The
city treasurer received advices from Lin
coin from the state treasurer concerning
the valuation Of the terminal property and
the rolling stock of the railroads, appor-
toned to the city OF South Omaha. These
valuations had to be incorporated into the
general valuation Of the city property, and
on the whole, the levy is to be estimated.
The city council therefore contented itself
with the Introduction of the ordinance and
viii insert the rate OF the levy before the
report of the judiciary committee.
The council will meet again at 1 D. m.
Saturday for this purpose. The ordinance
will then be ready for a third reading and
flnal passage Mopday evening. It Is an
ticpated that the levy rate will be higher
this year on account Of the Increase Of the
bonded Indebtedness for paving improve
ments.
OIney Gets Unexpected Bath.
Cornelius Olney, In the city jail on a
vagrancy charge, was given an unexpected
dip in the Jail bath tub last night. He was
in jail for usual offense and firing of his.
Incarceration he pretended having swal-
lowed poison. He fell on the floor and be-
gan groaning In most alarming fashion.
The other prisoners famed him and called
the Jailer to aid the man who was believed
to be dying. Dr. McCrann was hastily
summoned and after administering
stimulent to assist the man against the
advance OF the supposed drug, he ordered
olney stripped and plunged in the bath tub
This was not In Olney's thought when he
began the game and his cure was electrical
In a moment the groans ceased and he was
on his feet.
1t was then discovered that ne had con-
cealed enough money In his shoe to pay
most Of the fine which the Judge imposed
in the morning. Other friends appeared
hearing that he was dying alone In the Jail
and paid the small balance and he was
released He went away with apparent
ease, although supposed to be dying five
minutes before.
