Jerry Simp son continues to Improve.' Some time after midnight this morning a live electric wire came In contuct with the telegraph wires, with the result that havoc was wrought In some of the Instruments here and also at Pasco. This morning when Walter Adams reached the W. & C. R. office, he found things looking like there might have been an explosion during the night. The relay, through which the main line Is connected with the local, was burned and twisted so as to be unfit for use any longer, and a new one had to be placed In Its stead. On communicating with Pasco Mr. Adams found that the same thing had occurred there, and that the shock had been noticed by the night oper- ators working there.

It Is. presum ed that It was caused by one of the Northwest Gas & Electric company's lines becoming crossed with the tele graph wires, during the night. This may have been caused hy the wind which blew hard towords morning. So much heat was generated by the shock that had (here been anything inflammable near the relays the same would doubtless have caught fire, and In the case of the W. C.

SO per 100 In Nebraska, and the average weight of the ship ments 210 pounds per head, making the enormous sum of $100,000 left In Nebraska by this Oregon Institution this season, besides the large amount expended In transporting this number of hogs across half a continent.

I three posses are In the woods north of; Green lake hunting the bandits who' held up the Great Northern train near liallurd Monday night. The dogs. It Is reported at noon, are unable to strike the trail, owing to the wet weather, and the opinion Is growing that the men are now openly walking the streets of Senttle. Whether or not the cutting of til telephone wires at Klrkland has any connection with the flight of the rob bers has not been determined. The Pinkertons are believed to be working on the theory of their depar ture by water, but no official state ment will be riven out by any if the agency officials. General Manager Waring of the Great Northern Express company, has made his official report to the com pany, showing that $704, mostly sold, was secured. Of this sum $34 was from Seattle and the balance from Tacoma. I NEBRASKA HOGS COU C WOULD TAKE NO STAND Adopt a Masterly Policy of Inaction Relating to the Street Paving Issue. 'A ME TO A STALL BETWEEN PETITIONS" AN D PROTESTS. West A lut Protestants Omitted Some Vital Information Which Invalidat ed Their Document, Which Was Re ferred Back to Them -An Hour Was SMit In Fruitless Dlsciissloa mid liCft Where It Was Begun East Court Muy Petition for Street Im provement Bills AnioiinlliifC to S'2, 116.31 Ordered Paid JU'sirts Ac cepted. From appearances there Is little prospect for any street Improvement ' this fall, for the council Is disheart ened and last night seemed almost willing to throw up the sponge before tlie first round had been finished. The trouble all came In the shape of a remonstrance from property owners on West Alta street, In which It was claimed that the "underslgners were unable at present to stand the expense of the Improvement." However, there was nothing in the petition to show what .frontage was owned by each signer, nor did It state that the signers constituted a mujority of the property owners on West Alta. These things, according to City Attorney Carter, were necessary', and that official had some doubts regarding the word "un derslgners." Consequently, the re monstrance was given to Councilman Swearingen to hand back to the sign ets with a request that each man state the frontage owned by him. j .o sooner naa inc v est street remonstrance been disposed of until C. S. Wheeler backed by Dr. T. M.. Henderson, arose and said that it was the wish of the majority of owners on Alta street between Cottonwood and Johnson that their block be Im proved with the same material that Is to be used on Main street. They were evidently of the belief that something better than macadam will go on Mala street when that thoroughfare Is Im proved, and they wished the same treatment for their block. Conse quently, thty asked that the macad amizing of Alta street be commenced at Johnson street Instead of Cotton wood. This seemingly laudable :re quest appeared to disconcert the coun cil as much as did the remonstrance from West Alta. Some of the mem bers did not think It worth while t Improve Alta street merely from John son to the Intersection with Court, and favored abandoning Alta -street alto gether. A motion by Councilman Swearingen that the resolution be re vised as desired by Messrs. Wheeler and Henderson failed of a second, and as a result no action whatever was taken, the matter being left In a rather chaotic condition. r Floundered and Stalled. For fully an hour the council floun dered In a discussion of the above sub ject, and various solutions were pro posed. Some one suggested that here after no Improvement be ordered un til It was petitioned for by property owners, hut to this Councilman Renn objected, becouse he said property owners would never take the initiative. The question of Improving East Court from Mill street to the mill race was discussed, and an effort may be mode to secure a petition from property owners along that street nsklng for macadam. A favorable report was made by the street committee on petition for a side walk and stairway between Tustln and High streets, and the same was ordered. petition from residents of High School hill asking for the organization of a hose company there, was referred to the fire committee. Liquor licenses were issued to Raker & Garrison. Turner Bros., ljiwrence & Aston, and wholesale licenses to the Pendleton Tee & Cold Storage company, and to Conrad Koehler. Rills for the past month were paid, amounting in all to $2116.31. Of these the largest were W. S. Wells, for sprinkling. $520. and the Northwest Gas & Electric company, for lights. $207. Reports of the recorder and treas urer for the past mouth were reaJ and ordered filed. The latter showed the stato of the city's finances to be as follows: t In general fund, IIO.493.tlS: levee sinking fund. $4146.89; general sink ing fund, $1659. 1. Total. tl6.299.7J.
