and
If there Is a man on earth who can toll Juit
how the cat h going to jump In the matter of
the elty hall furniture contract , that man Is
n prophet or the son of a prophet. OHO thing ,
liowovor , Is an assured fact , and that Is that
thoConnantUrothors Furnlturo company H
not In It for a smell not oven for a chair to
stand In the lobby of the now building.
The city council was billed to moot in com-
tnlttco of tbo ( vholo nt the city clerk's office nt
0 o'clock ; yesterday morning. Half nu hour
nftor the time set for the meeting the councilmen -
men began to drop In singly and by pairs. At
last all of them except Messrs. Ohaffco and
Madscn answered to roll call. Then the six
teen law makers inarched down the hill to
the Dewey & Stone establishment on lower
Fnrtiam street.
Tnoy went up to the third floor , via the
elevator , where \V.I. Klerstoad explained his
bid and exhibited samples of the furniture
that 1 Is house proposed to furnish.
By way of Introduction Mr. Kiorstend ex
plained that the original bids were as
follows : The Andrews company'W,000 ; the
Kotchum company , 11,000 , and the IJewoy &
Stone company , SJ8,0X ( ) . The foreign com
panies had been allowed to scale down their
bids , but ho had not been allowed the name
privilege. If ho had boon , the combined bid
of the Dewey & Stone company and John F.
Coots would have fallen below $21,000 for
both stationary anrt movcablo furniture. No
person denied the statomcnt , but all ot the
councilman looked at the furniture and
cracked some very raw Jokes about plg sklu
seated chairs.
Mr. Klerstead cxplalue-1 that liU bid was
the cheapest ; that his goods were equal to
these of his competitors , and that
If the contract was awarded to
his house , all of tbo goods
would bo manufactured In Omaha by Omaha
mechanics. Ho also stated that ho proposed
to futnish a desk for $75 that non-resident
houses would duplicate for $75 and J10.1. Ho
would furnish a bond that ho would refurnish
the building If any article proved defective
after ouo year's ' wear.
Mr. Coots who proposed to furnish the
Btatlonary furniture , was allowed to explain
his plans and specifications. He would man
ufacture each and every article In Omaha ,
and each article could bo inspected before
being accepted , During the time four or
live councllmcn were paying attention to the
explanations , while moit of them were roam
ing about the salesrooms gazing at the fur
niture and trying easy chairs.
One Man Who Quit.
The next stop was nrndoot the Paxton
hotel , whore Charles M. Finch , agent for the
Counant 13ros. Furniture company of Toledo ,
O. , had his goods on exhibition. The stop at
the Paxton was not n lengthy ono. Mr. Finch
plainly and emphatically told the courcllmen
that ho was not n competitor. IIo had put in
a bid , but ho considered himself luckv to get
out of the town with a whole skin. The
committee had considered his bid , but owing
to iho low llguros that ho had submitted ,
without seeing his samples , the committee
had refused to consider 'his proposition. IIo
was asked to exhibit bis samples , but re
fused for the reason that his bid had been
rejected and ho was no longer in the light.
Other companies had boon asked to change
their figures and submit now specifications
siucotho opening of the Did , but ho had been
Ignored.
Llko ono man the sixteen councilmen
marched out of the rotunda of the I'axton
nnd wended their way to the Millard hotel ,
where they were mot by Messrs. Ileomor and
\Voavy of the Andrews Furnlturo company
of Chicago.
Those gentlemen knowing the wants ,
desires and inclinations of the Omaha
councilmen , Invited the members to take a
walk. Thov did not walk n milo before they
stopped In front of the bar , where the
genial agents invited them to
look through the bottoms of some
glasses at the pictures on the walls.A second
end invitation was not necessary and n
moment later the liquor disappeared like
dew before the August sun on n hot day.
Thinking that cigars might make the furni
ture look better , they were passed over and
then each man took another for future uso.
The commltteo of the whole then adjourned
to a room on the second floor where moro
cigars and the furnltino were on exhibition.
The glib-touguod agent took the floor nnd
explained that all of the articles on exhibi
tion had been taken out of the Chicago
house.
Formally Orsnnlzcil.
President Liowry intimated that there was
too muott talk on the side and suggested the
election of a chairman. Several members
optnoit that Mr , Lowry was right and Mr.
IJechol was elected to the honorable position.
After ho had been plvon the chair , n rich
upholstered concern , Mr. Osthoff told the
two agents to explain what they had.
Mr. Weary stripped his coat nnd started
the ball to rolling. Ho used the bids of the
other companies lor a foot ball and explained
that the Andrews' furniture was the best In
the world. About everything had boon bid
on nt Cnicago prices nnd If changes were de
sired in the plans It would bo necessary
to add only 5 per cent to the
prices submitted. Ho hoped the
mayor's oftlco would bo furnished In mahog
any uud the furnishings of the council cham
ber would look bettor in that kind of wood.
Ho told the councilmen that they could go to
"
the furniture store and buy goods" that would
look as well as his but they would not stand
the tost. Pcoplo could not take pictures for
reputation.
The agent waxed warm and branched oft
the original subject. IIo told the councilman
that ho did not care what the newspapers
said , as his house had been in the business
for years.
Two or three councilmen looked as though
they wauled to go , but Mr. McLeario
allayed tholr fears by telling them
that ho was In favor of taking
a rope and hanging the newspaper men.
There was moro talk about furniture , after
which Agent Heomor invited nil of the
councilmcu to dlno.wlth him. They pleaded
other engagements , or told him that they
dined at home. Then ho suggested that they
might want to liquor up. Acting upon this
suggestion , the city fathers adjourned to ths
bar roomwhero a couple of times ihoy looked
at the flics on the coiling.
During the afternoon the councilmen looltod
nt sample furniture , exhibited by the
Kotchum Furnituri company of Toledo , O. ,
In room UOU of the Now York Ufo building.
Whlloon tholr tour of Investigation the
members of the commltteo met n prominent
citizen who promised thorn bo would urge
blacklisting the members of the council who
voted against homo Industry in awarding the
contract for the city hall furniture.
Its Matlnco 1'ori'orinanue.
The city council bold Us matlneo In room
COO of the Now York Ufo bulldir.g. That
was the room where Mr. Haykor , western
manacor of the Ketclmm Furnlturo company
of Toledo , O. , had his samples of proposed
city hall furniture on exhibition.
Two o'clock was the hour sot for the moot
ing , but some ot the councllmcn were Into in
arriving. When the last man was shot up
the elevator shaft President Lowry and Mr.
Osthoff were found enjoying n gnmo of
checkers to sco u hlch should decide to m ko
thoTaco for the mayorallty upon the demo
cratic ticket. The arrival of the crowd put
a stop to the game and It was declared a
draw ,
The whole soulod agent of the foreign
house passed around the cigars and then uu-
llmborod his tongue. Ho started by saying
that unllko hli competitors his furniture had
not been put up for show. It was samples of
goods that had boon Intended for the court
hour.n lit Hod Oak , la. The carvings were
all by hand and In quality and llnlsb the furniture
nituro could not bo excelled by any house In
the land. It was not manufactured In Omiha
by Omaha worltmen , but would last 100
years. Borne councilman suggested that It
was dry. Tbo accnt did not have to bo
Kicked down stairs to sco tbo point. Ho
realized that the man nail no rcforcnco to
Ills furnituro.
The of the council
sorecant-nt-nrms was
present and being a handy man was pressed
Into the service , \Vlth n corkscrew in hand
10 wa 90ou busy nutl the popping of corks
wm heard and n moment latar boor was
passed around nnd then moro cigars.
Mr. MoLcarlo opined that the reporter
should bo Invited to Icr.vo the room.
"Not for $300 , " protested Mr. Osthoff.
After the Irrigation.
Clears were bunded around once morn and
then the nttdnt got down to business. Ho ox-
plntncd bis furniture and room fixtures to the
satisfaction of some of the membcru , while
Mr. KUassor cracked another stale joke about
pig skin for chairs.
DIBoront councilmen tiled different stuficd
chairs nnd roraarKoa , ono to another , "This
Is about my size. " For two hours the talk
\vont on and then some very pleasant soundIng -
Ing testimonials were road in behalf of
ICotchnm furniture.
It wai suggested that some councilman
might want to wet up. The sorgeant-at-
nrms of the council wns equal to the emer
gency , and drew several bottles of beer from
tholr hiding placo. It wns then that ho per
formed n mean trick.Vhllo no person was
watching ho llllod the glasses partly full of
boor and then filled them with whisky. Just
as ho had about completed the dastardly
work lotno member caught hlrn In the act of
maKlng the vllo decoction of half-and-half
and refused to drink. The dlfllculty was
smoothed over and then the agent stated
that mahogany would cost Irom 10 to 20 per
cent moro than oak for tho-mnyor's ofllco.
The detailed drawings were Inspected ,
whllo the cigars were once moro passed
around the room , after which Mr. Morcarlty
moved that the contract bo awarded then and
tboro but to whom ho would not say. There
was a protest raised by Moisrs. Bechel and
Davis against such unseemly haste upon the
part of Mr. Morearltv , and the commltteo
adjourned to meet In the clerk's ofllco at 10
o'clock this mornliig.
Stand Your Ground.
When you make up your mind to tnko

some other preparation Instead. Clerks may
claim that "ours Is as good as Hood's" and
all that , but the peculiar merit of Hood's Sar-
mparllla cannot bo equalled. Therefore have
nothing to do with substitutes nnd insist upon
having Hood's Sarsaparilla , the best blocd

CHICAGO , III. , Sopt. 14. It Is becoming np-
pnrcnt to the close observers of railroad
affairs that the Western Tradio association
Is quietly working to extend Its power and
Influence by tailing away from some of the
smaller associations their strength. Not only
has the Western Passenger association been
affected by this movement , but the Western
Freight association has also been deprived of
much of Its Importance and Individuality by
the gradual encroachments Into its delibera
tions of the rules and regulations gov
erning the presidents' organization , und
the practical nulllllcatlon of all rules
conflicting therewith , This has been com-
batted by the lines not members of the
Western Trafllo association , but their oppo
sition seems to have hud little effect. Not tbo
least significant circumstance as showing the
drift of affairs Is the fact that the Western
Freight association has decided to hold Its
meetings bi-monthly Instead of monthly.
There has been some talk of holding these
meetings quarterly , and it Is probable that
the question of making such a change will bo
discussed before the end of the year.
Another circumstance is tlio nbscnco of
Chairman Mldgley from the last two meet
ings which were presided over by his chief
clerk and still another is that the September
meeting was for the most part attended by
assistant general freight agents Instead of by
tbo higher tralllo ofllelnls who have hereto
fore taken part ( n the proceedings. Hailroad
men who are not In the secret of the move
ment are beginning to realize that the
Western Freight association Is sinking into
Innocuous desuetude , and not without design
on the part of these pcoplo who are chiefly
Interested In the success of the president's
agreement. Much of the business formerly
disposed of by the association Is now per
formed by the board of commissioners of iho
Western Tralllo association ilnillng its way
to them through appeals by companies that
are members of Dnth organizations.
A meeting of the special committee to prc-
nard a now agreement for the Western Pas
senger association , to bo put into conformity
with that of the Western TraOie association ,
will bo held tomorrow. The committee con
sists of Passenger Trafllo Manager White of
the Atchlson , General Passenger Agent
Thrall of the Northwestern , General Pnsscn ;
gor Agent Eustls of the Burlington and Com
missioners Walker , Finley and Vinlng. But
the Western Passenger association has but
ono member that is not already in the Presi
dents' association , and it will no doubt bo a
much more difficult task to whip into line Iho
several outsiders than the Western Freight
association.
ATCHISON'S OMAHA CONNECTION'S.
Some of the local gossips are trying to make
a sensation out of a trafllu arrangement en
tered into by the AteMson , Topeka & Santa
Fo with a little spur of a road called the Chicago
cage , Fort Madison & DCS Moines on tbo
ground that it will eventually glvo the Atchison -
ison nn Independent line to Omaha. At pres
ent the Cnicago , Fort Madison Ac Dos Moines
road runs from Fort Madison northwestward
toward Liberty , 111. , and it is claimed that a
syndicate of Chicago , Boston and London
capitalists have purchased the line with a
view of extending It to Dos Moines and
thence to Omaha.
EASr-JlOUSD SHIPMENTS.
East-bound shipments of freight by all
lines cast last weak amounted to GO , 101 tons ,
against O.j.O.W for the week previous , an in
crease of 5ti41 tons , and against 72,320 for
the same period last year , a docrejCso of 18- ,
329 tons. The flhipm ents by lake amounted
133,0-19 tons , an Increase over the preceding
week of 31,552 tons. The shipments of flour ,
grain und provision from Chicago to the sea
board by the lines in the Central Trafllo
association aggregated a. OTS tons , against
2. ) , " 16 for the week previous , an increase-
37U tons , und against 34,357 for the corresponding
spending week of 1890 , a decrease of 7,789
tons. The Vanderbilt lines carried 01 per
cent of the trafllc , the Pennsylvania lines 19
per cent , the Chicago & Grand Trunk-11 per
cout , and the Baltimore & Ohio 9 percent.
CIIICACIO LINES OUT LEFT.
The fact that the price of wheat is 4 to C
cents higher in St. Louis than In the Chicago
market , is causing considerable uneasiness
amoni : the trafllo officials of the Chicago
roads. As a natural consequence of such a
state of affairs , the wheat from Kansas and
Nebraska is mostly going east by way of St.
Louis , some of it being shippad by iIvor to
Now Orleans for export.
ttoni : roit TUB mo six.
The commissioners of the Western Trafllo
association will meet September 23 to con
sider , among other matters , a proposition to
advance tbo rate on salt 3 cents per 100
pounds in barrels und 4 cents per 100 pounds
in bulk from the salt districts to Nebraska
points. The Burlington applies for authority
to make the same rate on salt from Chicago
to Nebraska City , Omaha and i-iincoln that is
mndo from Hutchtnson , Kun. The commis
sioners will also consider a proposition to
transfer from the Western Freight associa
tion to the Western Traftlc association juris
diction over certain traffic from Colorado a nd
Utah points.
Conflict of Authority.
DU.TAS , Tox. , Sept. 14. In nn application
for Instructions , filed In Judge Burko's court
by Sheriff Lewis and James Maronoy , the
court ordered these parties to hold on to the
Texas Trunk railroad and not to turn it over
to Receiver Dilllngham , as ordered Saturday
by United States Judge McCormick ; also to
apply for Judge McCormicJc to dismiss Dil-
liugham. The conflict between the state und
federal courts Is liable to lead to trouble , as
Sheriff Lewis will hold the ro.id at all costs
until his court orders him to do otherwise.

was deposited In the nrt hall on tbo fair
grounds , ana some more of It was stowed
