Home Mighty Interesting City Iltisl IH-HS liookotl After lniHt Night. The mercury Indicated SO degrees In th close llttlo council chamber at 8 o'clock las evening when the board mot in rcgula monthly session. The mayor and all tin members answered to roll call. The older men worked persplrlngly through the grea piles of monthly bills and disposed of then within the llrst hour and the remainder o the hot evening was L'ivon to the dlscussloi of miscellaneous business. The attention of the council was agali called to the squatters who were occupylni streets and private property in the lowe part of the city. On motion of Van Bruni the council agreed to Investigate the troubli as a committee of the whole. Mr. Brown Introduced an Improvemen resolution divesting the property owners 01 the east Mdo of Pearl street to tear up thi brick sidewalk from Broidway to Firs' ' avenue and relay the same with artlllclii stone to conform with th-.it laid before Judge .fumes' property. K L. Hhugart nnd other ; interested registered nn onorgotio kick claiming that the walk already down was tin best brick pavement In the city , and was laic in conformity with the special ordinance nnd in obedience to the orders of the city , and these gentlemen servd a general notice upon the city that the Improvement , 01 change , could onlv bo effected at the con clusion of cxtcnrivo litigation. The mattei was laid over. The question of paving Avenue E was brought up by a petition asking for the pav ing of the stioot. The engineer reported thai the grade was li.7 , a grade next door to the Impracttblo and the steepest hill in the city. Several of the property owners desired tc have n sewer before the paving was done. The petition was granted. An ordinance changing the grade on Benton - ton street from Prospect lo Harrison was passed. The change reduces the grade on the upper und of the street. The petition of E. II. Shoafo for $ .200 damage - ago for overflow of It'dlan creek was refused. The committee recommended that the en gineer's estimate for sewer work on Lincoln avouuo bo published. The city solicitor was instructed to provide a wav for the issuance of cortlllcatos of assessment against the property of W. W , Bilger and others to pay for curbing done on Fifth avenue by H. L. Williams under private contract , the property owners no ! being able to pay for the work. The sheriff reported the condemnation ol property for the opening of Hawthorne avenue In Madison park addition. Protests vero made against the award nnd the city was asUod to stand half of the damage. Van Brunt moved that the city pay JIUO ol the amount provided the property owner. " would pay the remainder , but on roll call the motion was lost. The sheriff's condemna tion was approved and his fees ordered paid. Contractor Hurlbut who has been awarded the contract for grading North Sixteenth street , was reported ta have loft the city and abandoned the contract. Dr. Snyder and 1. C. Bonlmm were ordered to go ahead and com plete the work. The engineer and special committee re ported that P. Sweeney had drawn 570 not duo him by false representations , and thut the assignment of Ills contract to another party would not psrmit that person to collect that amount after completion of the work. Sweeney's contract was for grading and was assigned to William Fitzirerald. The reports of city oflicors nnd heads ol departments were received and vouched for bv the finance committee. The Union Elevator company served notice that it had appealed from the assessor's rating and carried the matter to the district court. J. M. Hnrdin nnd R. E. Hincs were re ported by the engineer to have filed the satno bids for constructing thrco foot , four fcoi and six feet plank sidewalks , and they \ \ ere ordered to settle the matter between them selves by Hipping pennies , drawing cuts , or any other harmless aut'-gambling game they were familiar with. Resolutions vacating ar. alloy In Sunnysi do addition and the establishment of grades In Baboot place were introduced and passed together with necessary ordinances. An ordinance approving the plat of Pros pect Place addition was passed. Sixty-live property owners and citizens on avenue C and West Broadway complained that , that portion of the city was the rendezvous of sneak thieves nnd other bad characters , nnd that ns half of the men work nt night the petitioners think they are en titled to electric lights and a lire hydrant. The remainder of the session was devoted to hearing protests from property ownora against paving and sowerngo. Gasoline and oil ; COPS , wood and coal : prompt delivery , L. U.

COUNCIL BI.UITH , la. , July 4. To the Editor of Tut : UEK : Whllo In Carroll , la. , I picked up n copy of the Omaha World-Horalu which some stranger who didn't know the thing had carried that far to throw away in disgust. In it I noticed a report ot the anni versary entertainment given by the Decree of Pocahontas and Improved Order of Rod Men. I was surprised and Indignant to note the coarse and brutal manner in which some of the ladles wore caricatured , not criticized. It was a little social gathcrlngontortalncd by local talent , and the presence of any sharp critic was neither ox pec ted nor desired. There was absolutely no justlllcatlon for criticism of tlio ladles , oven if it bad boon made in u far less coarse nnd ungontlomanlv manner. I know that the ontlro programme and these who rendered It earned the good opinion of the entire audience , and I know that every Red Man deeply regrets iho coarse wording of the attempted humorous report that unneces sarily wounded some of our own ladies and others who wore our ( uvl'.od guests. I for ono favor the Idea of the two lodges taking. in addition to the action alroidy taken and contemplated , stops to clearly Impress upon the World-Herald people that tholr presence Is not at all desirable in * uch places unions they can at least mai < o a decent and gentle manly mention of the ladle * who take part our social exorcise.

But when a in-in takes a deck of cards in sober earnest hero , poker is the result. In the Arkansas club , Iho principal gambling house hero , faro , perhaps , is llrst favorite ; but I understand thut moro money is lost und won even there at poker , and the roulette wheel cannot whirl fast enough to keep pace with the "ante" of the national fjame. Nearly all the buildings in town are two btoriohigh. . The ground lloor is a fealoon or store , and the second lloor a gambling shop of some sort The arch itects have planned with an eve to poker. In nearly every second-Hoot- room in the business part of the city , often in daytinio and always at night , men are constantly bhullling and dealing cards. In all the hotels card playing is incessant. Poker is tlio game and the stakes vary with the pluco and the player.

It is by no means "certain that there was so much folly in it as was generally supposed , 'it ' is claimed that a strong defense can lw made of Brown's original plan , writes Sidney II. Mor o in Li'ppincott's Magazine. Ho bitid that ho betrayed himself by a too tender regard for the feelings of the inhabitants. But , to wander in nm-ortain speculations of this sort , is to lese sight of the whole significance of the deed as it stands con fessed in history. What is of consequence quence is to follow along the train of events his action marshalled into vic torious motion , swelling the party op posed to slavery by millions of hearts , fixing , as tha succeeding months illus trated his deed , the signature of the north to the proclamation of the emanci pation of which Lincoln was but tlio scribe.
