BREEN ELECTED CITY ATTORNEY ftnrprlse iprwsa; at Meeting Last Klajbt fcr Memfcera Who Were In the Seeret De. termlned Cgri, Carl C. Wright presented his resignation It a city attorney- to the rminrll last night nnl It 'was promptly accepted. John P. Hreen a elected to verve the remainder of the term, which expires In May.

1906. Mr. ho elected on the democratic ticket, jqults the, office In orfler to become Assistant generat attorney, for the Chicago A Northwestern railway system west of the Mtsaourl river, succeeding James flhean, who -ha been promoted to the general attorneyship of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis Omaha, road, with headquarters in St. Paul.

The change in effective March 1. It was a complete surprise to every one except the councllmen, who were Informed and had chosen Mr. Itreen In advance. The latter made a speech accepting the place. The only opposition to him In the open meeting came from Councilman O'Brien, the sole democratic member, who proposed Ed P.

Smith for the office. In his letter of resignation City Attorney Wright said that while he was loath to relinquish the trust placed In him by the people yet. he felt that his personal Interests demanded his giving up the office. He took occasion to commend Assistant City Attorney Herdman and other employed of the office and said ha hoped they would be retained. The council adopted a long resolution eulogizing the outgoing city attorney and warmly praising the character of his work and his faithfulness to the city during the twenty-one months that ha has served.

No Effort to Eleet Iybs.ll. The attempt to elect Charles D. Dyball as the successor to Councilman R. W. Dyball of the Seventh ward, who Is hopelessly sick, was not made.

During the day the Interests behind the move Jost out In soma close Jockeying and when the meeting was convened Councilman Back, one of the men relied on to put the scheme through, was absent and Councilman O'Brien, whose vote was absolutely necessary therefore to make up the majority of five had previously served notice that he would not vote for a man who was not a democrat. In connection with the methods of letting contracts an ordinance Introduced by Acting Mayor Zlmman lust night seeks to do away with deals' that give the people no chance to bo heard. The ordinance would provide that all contracts for lighting, water, telephone, fire and police alarm garbage hauling and disposing and the carting away of dead animals be mad only by ordinance, and then only at regular meetings. The author of the measure sees In It a way to prevent the formation of new and expensive agreements without publicity. City Hall I.Uhtlna Plant.

Councilman O'Brien Introduced a resolution which was adopted calling upon the city electrician to prepare estimates of a city hall lighting plant to be operated In connection with the boilers and heating plant now In use. The comptroller Is asked to supply figures showtng the coat of lighting the building for the last five years. Last year the sum was close to 13,000. O'Brien also tried to have a resolution adopted calling upon the treasurer to furnish monthly reports showing the amounts of taxes brought In by Individual collectors, but this failed, chiefly through the an-taonlanv Councilman Hoye, 'whom O'Brien accused of being a grandstand player. Hoye retorted that he wasn't and old O'Brien could get the information by going after It Only Zlmman supported the Fifth warder.

No City Pay tor Nelson. The resolution adopted two weeks ago appropriating $300 to W. T. Nelson for drafting the charter revision committee's charter was rescinded. Aa Just a mere hint of what some of the small Items In the water works ap-'pralsement are costing, certain bllla were referred to the council by the comptroller, with the remark that they should be charged, to the 1906 account of the water board, for which the council has provided no funda The Items Included $175 for John H.

Hart for about thirty minutes' testimony concerning the valuo of the buildings at the Florence station, $140 for threo real estate men who testified about the same length of time regarding their opinion of the value of the water company's real estate. J41.S0 for the Foundation Construction company for sounding the Missouri river, $578.12 as part of the charges of Appraiser Daniel W. Mead and $98.76 for the Reed Printing company for printing briefs. The bills were referred to the committee on flntn.be and claims. Judgment for llydrant Rentals.

Judgment in the federal court for In favor of the Omaha Water company for hydrant rents for the last half of 1904 were ordered confessed upon the recommendation of City Attorney Wright, who said the amount would draw 7 per cent Interest any way. For the first time since the bars were taken down the council sustained a veto for a new water hydrant, the one proposed In question being for Grand avenue between Twentieth and Twenty-second street. Mayor Moores and Acting Mayor Zlmman have steadily retoed resolutions for new hydrants on the ground that there Is no money available to pay for them. The advisory board) was Instructed to advertise for bids for the construction, heating and plumbing of the new fire engine atatlnn on Twenty-fourth near Ouming Straat. Mailman for Fir Fond.

The committee on fire, water and police, to which waa referred Mayor Moore's telegram from Phoenix, asking for the creation of new fire companies, reported that the council had levied the maximum amount for the fund and that further than this It should not go, being helpless In the matter without legislative enactment. The matter waa turned over ti the Board of Fire and Police commissioners. In view of spring work the appointment of 160 laborers by the Board of Public Works, waa confirmed. Councilman Hoyes' ordinance to regulate the heaping of anow In the streets by the street railway company and to prevent poles from being set In the sidewalks or streets, were Introduced and referred to the committee on railways, telegraphs and telephones. The personal injury cjalm of Celta Mo-Greal for $5,000 was ordered settled for $3u0; that of Margaret O'Connor for $2,000 for $100, and that of Charles Wagner for $2,036 for $100.

All the accidents were caused by defective sidewalks and settlement was recommended by the legal department.

1 COLUMBUS WATER POWER PLAN Iaterarban Railroad gala to Have Galvanised a Scheme that Has Lose Been Morlband. According to statements said to have been made by officers of the Omaha, Beatrice Lincoln' Interurban Railway company, arrangements have been made through a Kansas City bank for financing the old Columbus water power project, which Is to be operated in connection with the electric railway. The power for the interurban line will be manufactured at the power plant and transmitted from a point near Columbus to wherever needed along the route of the new railway, for which construction will be started in the spring, according to statements. The Columbus water power plant will get Its source of supply from the Loup river. Should the plant be built and put In operation it may have a direct effect upon Omaha, for It waa one of the many schemes considered as a means for supplying this city with cheap power for manufacturing establishments and lighting.

Announcements of the Theater. This afternoon and evening Andrew Mack will be seen at the Boyd theater in his splendid new oomedy, "The Rood to Kenmare." This popular singing comedian haa never had a mora acceptable vehicle for his peculiar abilities, and Is making a great hit In the new play. His engagement closas tonight. Manager Burgess takes pleasure in being able to announce for next week at the Boyd that prince of romantio actors, Mr. Kyrle Bellew, in his latest triumph.

"Raffles." This piece haa been one of the season's rages, and Its coming to Omaha will be one of the events of the season. The vaudeville bill on at the Orpheum this week Is scoring heavily to large audiences. The two sketches on the program, "When Oeorglna Waa Eighteen," presented by the Barrows-Lancaster company, and "A Daughter of the Qods," presented by Henry Karle Godfrey and Vesta Henderson, are two of the most' satisfactory little scions of the drama seen at the Orpheum this season. The remainder of the bill offers pleasing variety. A matinee will be riven Thursday, It is estimated that the great rural play, "Uncle SI Haskins," which opens a two nights' engagement at the Krug, theater Friday night, with matinee Saturday, has been witnessed by more than 1,000,000 people, and at the rate the play has been drawing this season the 2,000,000 mark Is likely to be reached before the season closes.

There Is more fun In "Uncle Bl Hasklna" than was ever put. together in one play before. The Incidents are built on facts and are therefore true to life Itself, while the characters fictitious in the story become, as portrayed by sympathetic artists, distinct living types, such as are found everywhere in the country. "The Princess Chic," which will be seen at the Krug theater for three nights and two matinees, starting with Sunday's matinee, is one of the modern musical plays that have held its laurels Independently of star or company. The llbrette is by Klrke LuShelle and many of the lyrics It contains are conceded to have high poetic value.

The score was composed by Julian Edwards and the opera is still continuing the tremendous success that attended its tour last season. The sale of seats for Ysaye opened yesterday with a brisk demand which continued until the closing hour at 6 o'clock In the afternoon. One ear Early Ohio potatoes for sale by La H. Hansen, Irene, S.

J. E. Owen, Wayne; Sheffield, Urand Is laud. i A great many citizens appear to be pleased at the prospect of a new fire hall to be built In the city north of street. The agreement msde by the council Monday night to purchase the property at the southwest corner of Twenty-fifth and streets for fire department purposes Is being commended aa the only practical site offered at the time bids were opened.

This property will cost the city $3,600, and It Is really considered worth a greet deal more. With the consent of the mayor the property will be conveyed to the city within a short time. Then will come the question of raising funda for the construction of a building. The cost of the property Is to come out of the present fire fund. It was suggested that funds for the building of a first clam fire house might possibly come out of the scavenger fund.

This cannot be done, as the scavenger fund la now appropriated for general purposes and will be used to cut down the tax levy next year. One of the members of the city council who Is interested In seeing South Omaha have better fire protection, said that a flro hall should be built to contain a light truck, a steamer, a hose wagon and a chiefs buggy. In all, eight horsea ought to be In service and provision should be made In the plans of the building for eight stalls and the apparatus mentioned. When city officials were asked where the money la to come from to erect a suitable building and purchase appartus, the idea was suggested that sufficient money might be borrowed to make the Improvements. Now that the city has a fire hall site the next thing In order Is to figure out some way for providing funds for constructing a building and purchasing apparatus and horses.

Board Reinstates Officers. Last night the Fire and Police commissioners met at the council chamber and listened to testimony In the cases of Officers Ringer and Thlede. Ringer was charged with being Intoxicated on duty and Thlede for taking a drink while on duty and In uniform. The commissioners heard the statements made and decided that the ten days' suspension given by the chief waa sufficient punishment. Both officers were restored to duty last night.

The case against the Alex saloon at Thirty-ninth and streets was called next. Alex declared positively that he had not sold liquor to minors and as no witnesses were present to testify to the contrary the board decided that he could open his place at once. Chief Brlggs waa Instructed to make a further Investigation Into this case. Chief Garrett reported the loss of some hose on street by a length being run over by a street car on January 9. Secretary Bergqulst was directed to pfer the matter to the city attorney with a request that an effort be made by the city to recover the cost of ono length of hose, $50.

Isaac Nelson resigned as a member of the fire department and John McHale was ap-polntedvon thirty days' probation, the appointment to take effect March 1. A number of police nnd fire department reports were read by the secretary and ordered placed on file. Members of the board appeared to be welL pleased with the selection made by the council for a new fire hall building at Twenty-fifth and Bond Case Now On. The injunction casa restraining the mayor and council from ieeulng bonds for the purchase of a city hall site and the buying of park grounds Is now up In Judge Sears' court. The plaintiffs to the action are Frank Pivonka and Charles Cummings.

City Attorney Lambert is defending the city. At the clone of the hearing yesterday the plaintiffs had not concluded. It is expected that today the plaintiffs will conclude and that on Friday the defence will make a showing. The case has to go over Thursday on account of other matters which the court had set for hearing. As this case has been hanging fire In the courts since the November election the peo ple of South Omaha have lost Interest fn the matter to a great extent.

At the fall eleclon the question of voting $70,000 bonds for the site and erection of a city hall and $40,000 for park purposes was voted on, and the returns showed that the propositions carried. Those opposed to this issue of bonds sought to prevent an additional tax levy by appealing to the courts. Sevrers Working; Nicely. Mayor KoutBky and City Engineer Beal made a trip over the city yesterday and Inspected the arrangements made for carrying off Surface water, Every storm water aewer and manhole waa In working order and the water was running nicely. A great deal of melted snow and ice went Into the sewers yesterday.

Some of the business streets are about half cleared of snow, but in the residence districts the gutters have not been cleared and the water runs In all directions. Very little "attention is being paid by property owners to the order to clear the sidewalks of anow, and alnce the thaw the special agent of the legal department has stopped the service of notices except In the business part of the city. Scavenger Fund Growing, Since the commencement of sales of property for taxes the city of South Omaha has received $15,677.36. The payment for January, amounting to $2,805.27, waa received by the city treasurer yesterday, The November payment waa $8,878. This was used to wipe out Judgments against the city.

The payments from now on will go Into a fund to be used for the general reduction of the levy this year. With the December and January payments In the scavenger fund there Is now a Dalance of $6,896.68. It is estimated by city officials that this fund will amount to nearly $25,. 000 before the making of the 1905 levy. With the Idea In view of putting this money Into a fund to reduce the tax levy, the officials think the people will be greatly benefited.

There Is also some talk among members of the council of putting the usual 10 per cent reserve into this fund and thereby decreasing the tax levy by about $10,000 more. The amount of the 1904 levy waa $152,991 and It appeara to be the aim of the authorltlea to reduce this aa much as possible this year. vflft'a New Manaaror, H. O. Edwarda of Chicago assumed the management of the Swift plant here yesterday.

Mr. Edwarda takes the place of Mr. L. D. Patteraon, who went to Chicago some time ago as an official of the National Packing company.

In talking about hla new position yesterday Mr. Edwards said that he had been In Omaha and South Omaha a number of times during his nineteen years' service with Swift and Company. He atated that he had a number of friends and acquaintances in both citlea and waa glad of the opportunity of being located here, where he would meet with bta many friends. At the present time Mr. Edwarda la stopping at the Her Orand, but he said that he would aecure a home for himself and family Juat aa soon aa he could get around to It.

Crelghton Medical college waa the scene of a brilliant and very enjoyable affair last evening, the occasion being the recep- tlon given by the Juniors to the senior class and faculty of the college. The first two floors of the college were handsomely festooned with the college colors of white and light blue, while an arch with the word "Welcome" in electric lights was built over the main stairway, adorned with the college colors, added materially to the brilliant picture. Fully 200 women and men attended the reception and the reception committees spared no pains in according to each guest that cordiality of greeting that has always distinguished affairs of this nature at Crelghton Medical college. There was no formal program of entertainment except It was to dispense with all stiff formality and make each visitor feel at home. The main reception parlors were devoted to the receptldh and entertainment of guests, and the south' hall of the first floor was given over'd The orchestra waa located behind a bank of palms, and this room, too, was decorated with the college colors in a most artl.stio manner.

o-h rftfrMhm.nt. I 'I I i BCI VCU during the evening and the affair throughout was a most delightful one. "The Way to Kenmare" at the Boyd. Andrew Mack and company In "The Way to Kenmare," a romantic comedy In four acts, by Edward E. Rose, under the management of Richard Harris.

The cast: Dan Magufre Andrew Mack Captain Clement Falrley Edwin Brandt Roy William J. Townshend The Earl of George w. Peyo Bentley Harden Myron Callce Baron Gustavus Hergogengnrten John Robertson Martin Keen Edward J. McCormack Con O'Nell Luke Martin Mulkenan Hogan Eddie Heron Patrick O'Shale Thomas E. Jackson McPhane John Nepier Jerry E.

Constance Rose Donald Josephine I.ovett Mrs. Honorla Annie Mack Berleln Molra Doolan Mae Stevenson Julia Etta Baker Martin "The Way to Kenmare" Is almost as "plain as the road to the parish church" and nearly as difficult to go. It Is beset by a number of trifling incidents, such as the Intrigue of an English captain to win an earldom from Its rightful heir, and the lady love of the heir besides. Also, It is marked by a notable attempt on the part of a German, who mangles the English language dreadfully, to carry off the heart of an Irish widow, who Is looking forward to a reunion with the love of her youth, who rejoices In the name of Hogan and has red hair. The captain has all the attributes of the conventional villain and does Just what we have been used to seeing them do for some generations of plays of the sort.

All his machinations go for naught against the straightforward efforts of the rightful heir, Dan Magulre, who has taken his mother's name for reasons he explains during the course of the play. Dan masquerades to some extent, but he doesn't allow his disguise to prevent his setting everything straight. That's about all, save that Incidental to the action of the play Dan sings several songs In a tuneful way. Andrew Mack gives us a Dan Magulre that Is quite Irish In one essential point; having set his mind on a thing he conducts himself as though it was accomplished, even though the issue be far ahead. Several times during the course of the play, when the plot, which la never very dense, seemed to gather thickest, Mr.

Mack by his confident action reassured the doubting ones, as If he knew exactly how the affair waa going to end. His faith In himself was ultimately Justified, for he was successful in obtaining acknowledgment as the next earl of Kenmare, and the curtain falls with htm singing a sweet love song to the girl he has won along with his ottier victories. Mr. Mack Is too clever a comedian and too good an actor to waste his time with a play so plainly written "to et the stuff." Miss Lovett'B Rose was well enacted, and Miss Berleln'e Mrs. Moloney was a clever bit of comedy work.

Mr. Brandt Is very good as Captain Falrley, his work In the last act being such as to gain for htm genuine applause. The staging of the piece Is beautiful, the scene of the third act, showing the ruins of an old church being one of the prettiest settings shown here this season. The play was very well received by a large audience at the Boyd last night, the applause being generous and persistent. "The Way to Kenmare" will be given at a matinee this afternoon and again this evening, closing the engagement.

Miss Dunning's renditions were enthusiastically applauded. Among those participating in the musical numbers were Miss Carrie Melchoir, who sahg most charmingly In both English and German, and pluno duets by the Misses Lucille Spotts and Irene Brown.

The entertainment was one of the regular series of monthly social meetings given by this lodge, which are growing in popularity.

"Three cheers for the stars and stripes!" and nearly a thousand sons of toll, employes of the Union Pacific shops, cheered with might and main as Miss Adellna Roehrlg unfurled the beautiful new flag over the boiler shop yesterday afternoon. The flag floated to the breeze In the evening sunlight, a firing squad of the Omaha Guards, under Lieutenant Furay, fired three volleys and the gathering caught the Inspiration of the moment. It was a pretty and effective scene.

The new flag Is of regulation size and floats 110 feet from the ground. The employes of the shops thought the eve of Washington's birthday a fitting time to unfurl the emblem of the nation's liberty. George E. Strattman, foreman of the up- COLD WEATHER AND THE TABLE How Prlrea of Eatablea Have Been Affected by the Hard Winter. Tresent Indications are Ttat the majority of people will have to continue to spread their butter thin for some time to come.

Although the weather haa moderated there haa been no Increase In the supply of butter fat, and aa a result the market Is still advancing. New York has advanced the price of butter 2 cents a pound this week and the Omaha market has shown a corresponding gain, which carries the wholesale price of prints to 84 centa The common gradea of country butter are Belling at 22V4 centa and the better grades at 27(cf 28 cents wholesale. Just how long these famine prices will continue Is a question, but It docs not look now as though there Is much hope for Immediate relief. The hens have been getting busy, though, as Is shown by the Increase In receipts at the local market and the corresponding drop In prices. It Is rather hard to tell Just what eggs are worth, as any particular quotation does not hold good for more than about three minutes owing to the rapid decline In prices.

A wholesale price of about 22'23 cents, though, would perhaps be conservative. Green vegetables are going to command fancy prices thl spring owing to the exceptionally cold weather experienced throughout the south. According to ad-vlcea received by local Jobbers a large percentage of the acreage of vegetables was frozen out and consequently the amount that will be shipped to this market will be much smaller than usual. Take for example head lettuce, which is so high that It will have to retail at 20 cents per head, with some of the smaller heads perhaps at 16 cents. Higher prices are also being predicted for some lines of fruits, particularly apples and oranges.

The demand for both these lines Is now very brisk and as soon as present stocks are exhausted It is expected that considerably higher prices will rule. Danee Tonight.
