'Jtio New Chief of Police.
It is at last definitely settled who Is to bo
the now chief of police , the appointment
having Been formally tendered to Wndo
Gary , nnd the council expressed approval at
the committco meeting held yesterday after
noon in the ofllco of Alderman Everett. The
appointment gives general satisfaction , ns
it insures an efficient nnd thoroughly disci
plined police force for the next two years.
The present incumbent , O. H. Lucas , will
bo supplanted next Tuesday afternoon , nt
which tlmo the council holds Its next
meeting , nnd will npprovo the bond of the
newly appointed chlnf. It was stated by nn
alderman last evening that the appoint
ment of Chief Carey met with the approba
tion of every member of the council.
A great deal of discussion was caused by the
list submitted by the 'mavor for places as
patrolmen. Ho stated that ho proposed to
retain several of the old men for the present ,
including Ofticars Martin , Kemp. Clough ,
Cusick , Fowler and Doyle , ns .ho desired to
give the mon u chance , but that If they were
unable to live up to the rules nnd failed to
comply with the regulations they would bo
promptly discharged. Ho asked the council
if they desired to retain Patrol Driver Hen-
driuks on the force , but they unanimously
declared that ho was not fitted for the posi
tion , mid ho will accordingly bo dumped into
the soup with some of the others.
The rules that have been drawn up to
govern the new force are scorchers und will
prove quito surprising to the members who
lijivo heretofore hold positions on the force.
Among other things patrolmen will bo pro
hibited from drinking or smoking while on
duty ; will not bo allowed to converse with
citizens except on business relating to their
duties and then for only n short time ; will
not bo allowed to leave their beats while on
duty will not bo permitted to enter opera
houses , saloons or houses of prostitution ex
cept for the purpose of making an arrest or
ordered to do so by the chief ;
will bo required to provide them
selves with a regulation uniform
at their own expense ; will not bo
permitted to speak disrespectfully to or
about any other member of the force whlio a
membnr ot the force : and will not be allow
ed to nso the club to excess or in any nncry
manner in making arrests unless absolutely
necessary. The rules are very strict and
will bo rigidly enforced. Aside . from the
strict discipline under which the men will
bo placed , special attention will bo given to
their training , nnd a military bearing will
bo carefully cultivated.
It is certain that there nro several men on
the list who will fall to properly till the bill ,
nnd changes will como as a matter of.courso.
This Is expected , and for this * reason
the force will not bo required to
purchase uniforms until the mcu nro tried
and it is proven tn the satisfaction of the
chief that they are fitted for the position. It
will be seen that the purpose is to have only
good men on the force , and appointees will
find their respective terms coverned solely
by their fitness or unfitness , as the case may
be. The slzo of the force will bo Increased
to sixteen men , und tha day and night forces
xvill bo wholly distinct and sonerato organi
zations. There will bo nonn of the changing
about from day to night duty , and vice
versa , ns has been the custom heretofore ,
but the men wilt become properly
trained and fitted for certain positions and
will then remain thero. The appointment of
a captain rests with the chief , but it is
understood that A. S. Cloutch will bo called
upon to continue Iu that position , for the
present at least.
The now appointee Is well known in the
city , and needs no introduction to the citi
zens of the Uluffs. That ho will inako an
efficient chief nnd do his share in making
the now administration u successful ono is a
foregone conclusion. Ho is u strict dis
ciplinarian , and wilt greatly elevate the
standard of tlic palico forco. Such a change
has long been needed , and the public will
not bo alow to appreciate it.

Iho Committee of thn Whole.
At the mooting of the council committee
of the whole yesterday afternoon , the committee -
mittoo consisting of Alderman Everett ,
Knophor and Woods , appointed Monday
afternoon to revise the rules of order gov
erning council meetings , made n report , and
It was decided that at all future meetings
the reading of petitions and memorials shall
como last. Hills will bo allowed only at the
first mooting qf each month , and this will
bo the first business to bo considered after
the minutes are disposed of. The reports of
committees laud all unw business is also
moved up a notch , but otherwise the old
rules were unchanged.
Mayor Mucruo desired to consult the coun
cil with reference to the appointment of
committees. Heretofore tboro have been
onlv six committees , ns them were only six
aldermen , but now that there are eight mom-
bora of tlio council the mayor doomed it
necessary to crcato two now committees , so
that each alderman might have a chairman
ship. This will also lesson the work devolv
ing on some of the old committees , which
has frequently proved quito onerous.
The mayor and aldermen discussed sev
eral matters of Importance relative to the
policy to bo pursued in various
branches , but of course no official action will
bo taken until next Tuesday , at which time
the mayor will report the now committees ,
and the organization will bo completed.
The session wits a most harmonious cno
and proved mutually agreeable to both the
mayor and the aldermen , The present Indi
cations are that the now administration will
not bo hampered In its work by any internal
dissensions , but on the contrary that all
will work together for the best interests of
the city.

The City Printing.
The resolution introduced tn the council
by Alderman Everett tn regard to the city
printing has caused some Htlr , The resolu
tion named the Nonpareil as the official
organ , nnd was based on a written proposal
of the Nonpareil to do the city printing at
the following prices ; Twenty cents per
square for the first Insertion and 15 cants
per square for subsequent Insertions , und
for nguro work -to cents for the first inser
tion ana ir > cents for subsequent Insertions.
The proposal was to do the printing nt
n llttlo over one-third reduction from the
prices p lid the Glebe the present year , or au
ageroguto saving to the city of $3,000.
k Alderman Everett expresses himself us In
clined to the opinion that tha Glebe no
grossly overcharged the city the city the
past year as to forfeit all claims for nhauco
to bid this year , and especially as ho was
thwarted last your in his attempt to got thn
city printing decided by bids Instead of fa
voritism.
The council has decided to consider bids ,
however , and the door is oponud for the
( iloba to tlfrow in a bid. Thu chances seem
pretty fair fora reduction of city expenses
to far as printer's ink Is concerned. The
first proposal of the Nonpareil Is to do the
work at two-thirds of last year's prices , and
the competitive- will doubtless roduoi
the prices stilt further.

out Justice with n liberal hand , und the vic
tims do not relish tlio doses.
William Lambert was before him yester
day charged with disturbing the peace.
William had allowed bis temper to run away
with him , and ho knocked in n door in order
to got nt the object of his wrath.
The court Informed the offender
that his offense was really burglary , ns ho
had broken Into n building for the purpose of
committing n public offense , nud that is what
constitutes burglary under the laws of Iowa.
Howevcr.tho charge was dlsturbingthc peace
end as the limit for that offense was u line
of not moro than $50 , the court concluded to
let tlio culprit off on a lluo of half that
n.nouut nml costs. The defendant could not
produce a red cent nnd was fired back Into
the hole. *
Four vags wc.ro next arraigned , and in lessi
time than It takes to toil it they were each
assessed $30.10 , which , in default of pay
ment , means twenty davs In the city Jail.
The Judge recommended that arrange
ments bo inndo nt once for working pris
oners on the streets , nnd it isvery likely
that todny these live husky fellows will bo
etnrted out under nn overseer to labor on
the publlo thoroughfares nnd pay for the

the city. It will bo but n very short time

Tickets and slates are as thloit ns hogs on

Tom Hector sala yesterday that ho was
going to get out today and do some work
In his own interest for the city troasurershlp.
And for that ofllco the light Is going to bo.
This becomes mono and moro apparent as the
campaign draws nigh. Tom Geary is dis
pleased muchly that Hontor should aspire to
his fat place nml is reported lo have said
that ho will run independent m case Hector
is nominated by the democrats. The way
the thing looks now Hector is sure of the
nomination and Geary's Independent candi
dacy is going -to divide forces somewhat in
uaso ho is truu to his word.
An influential democrat said yesterday
that ho hoped something would bo learned
soon of a definite nature in regard to the
candidacy of Mayor Sloanc. "Wo have got ,
to know about this matter quick.1 ho said.
"If Sloano isn't going to run wo have got to
decide on another man. As long as there is
a belief that the present mayor can bo in
duced to servo the pcoplo for another term
it will bo Impossible to centralize on another
available man. If Sloano won't accept the
nomination I am in favor of putting ut >
GeorL'o Parks. Either ono can poll moro
votes than nny man iu South Omaha for
mayor of the city. "

vocal organs now as later in the political
campaign. At the last meeting of the coun

An Indian 11)11 ) i
Loungers in the pohco court ono day last
week witnessed the trial and conviction of
Charles Freeman for assaulting and at
tempting to snoot his wife. Accompanying
Mrs. Freeman at the trial was a prepossess
ing young woman who was supposed to bo
a married neighbor of Mrs. Freeman's.
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Freeman was a
visitor at the police station and thinking
that her husband had again assaulted her a
Hue reporter asuod her for the particulars.
Her visit was for a. different purpose , and
connected with it was the young woman re
ferred to.
The Jail record bore the name of "Arthur
VaulusburciS } fugitive from Justice , " but be
yond that Marshal Maloney would give no
information , Mrs. Freeman was
moro communicative , The young
woman who was her friend in
trouble now under arrest and "Arthur Vau-
lurburpo , fugitive from Justice , " is her ab
ductor. Three wcoks ago they came to
South Omaha from Kansas City , Kan. The
girl is but sixteen yours old and her name is
Uortba Von Mull. Uoth are Belgians.
Hertlm's parents are poor people and keep
a few boarders at Kansas City , Kan. Among
the boarders was Arthur. Uortha and Ar
thur fell in lovo. Uortha was anxious to get
married but Arthur had no money. Uertha
made up her mind to como to South Omaha
without her parents' permission and AN
thur's affection led him to follow her. They
reached hero three -weeks ago Sunday and
without the formality of n marriage coro-
many proceeded tu ' live together us man and
Wife. . .
Arthur got a job id the Armour packing
house and the couulo went to housekeeping
on Indian Hill.- They were to bo
legally married 'to-lay , Mrs. Freeman
says , but requests for their arrest from Kan
sas City out short , tholr auto-nuptial honey
moon. Vanlurburgo is twenty-two years old
and the girl sixteen. Mrs. Froonian states
that they are too" llttlo acquainted with
American laws n.td } customs to realize the
predicament they' arc in. They supposed
that having concldded to got married they
could go ahead and llvn together us man and
wife without thdformality of a legal cere
mony. , lt

AMONG THIS ItAlJjKOAOS.
Threats of Another Outbreak In the
1'afBPncer Kate War- These Plans.
Indications nro strong that'further reduc
tions will bo made very shortly in the Chi-
cago-Mjssourl Uivor-Colorado passenger
rates. The war Is so devoid of excitement
that ticket agents and street hustlers uro
feeling lonesome. "The cut to ? S and ? 51ms
not , " said 0110 man , "brought us nny
moro business than wo had be
fore. Whether It is because pcoplo
hnvo no place to go or are waiting in antici
pation that rates will drop still lower , I don't
know. It is nonsense to run along us wo are
doing now. Nobody gets bonclitted. The
rates either ought to bo restored or put on a
uropor war basis. "
The faro from Missouri river points to
Denver , Colorado Springs and Pueblo , by
all lines , is now $10 , though there
seems to bo n mutual understand
ing that only continuous train tickets can
bo sold at that tiguro. This restriction , it is
claimed , was pufon to prevent scalpers man
ipulating the rates between Denver and
Pueblo. On the fnlluro of certain lines to
comply with the rule is based a prevailing
supposition that another break will bo mndo.
A report has boon circulated to the effect
that the Union Pncilio allows a two days'
limit which enables scalpers to
sell tickets from Omaha and Kan
sas City to Denver over that
road at SS nnd make up the other $2 by sell
ing the Denver-Pueblo coupon separately.
As a result the Union Puclflu SCOODS In moro
Denver business than its competitors and
they don't like It.
Another road , whether the 13. & M. or
the Hoc I : Island is not stated , is charged with
paying i.50 commission on every Denver
ticket , which gives the scalpers tin
opportunity to make u cut of at
leuvt & ) between Chicago ami $3 from the
Missouri river , to Colorado points. Between
Chicago und the Missouri river some roads
are paying n commission of J3
which reduces the first-class rate to ? 5. In
order to shut oft that sort of secret work
lines not practicing It threaten to lower the
advertised $8 rate to $5 flat , nnd make the
llrst-class rate to Colorado fS.

In the course of his address before the
congressional committee on railroads last
Monday , President Adams , of the Union
PiicUla said , uiuong other things that it was
not for the best Interests uf the government
to hampar this corporation or embarrass
Its performing the work it was
credited to do. As matters stand
now the company is enabled to pay towards
the Interest und In liquidation of its debt to
thu government Slf > 00,000 u year. Anything
moro than that , ho declared , would tax the
property beyond Us strength. Tills sum rep
resents 3'f per cent Interest on tha present
computed debt nnd ought , Mr. Adams
thinks , bo sufllcicnt. A smtloment on that
hauls would give the road some chance for
development.
