COUNCILMEN EXPLAIN THEIR POSITIONS , KcBilon nf tlio Htcliuign Aftorlts Siimmnr'H Vnontlon I'lnns for Hotter Work In iho Future. The Builders' nnd Trixdors' exchange returned - turned yeatordny from its auiiitnor vncit tlon and took a now loaio on llfu witli u grit so strong and vigorous as to astonish ovoi Its oldest inemucirj. The mooting Wai conducted on somothliif of a now plan , and thcro was a larger attendance anco and moru intcratt was manifested thai has been before nollcoabio In the cxchnaRt rooms , Recent Aimllcutlons swell thu mom- be rnli Ip list to ahout llft.r , and it Is the In tcnllon of the orgnnlziitlon to inrludo wlthlr Its ranks every reputable contractor In the city. The plan now Is to hold c meeting every month , nt whtcl itomo topic of vital Interest and Importnnco to the members will coma UD for general dlscUHston , and tit the cloo a lunch will bo served. Itisnlso intended to have the members meet at the exclnuit'o dally , il possibly between tbo hours ) of 11 and 1- o'clock , to transact their business with cacti other , and to got acquainted moro Intimately , that they may work together moro har moniously than has heretofore neen the ease , 1'resiiJent llussuy retiiurneil at the opening of the session that tbo object to bo pri marily attended to was that of having the member * get bolter acquainted with each other , so that they would all work toguthei for the best Interests of Omaha. Ho ro- forrcd to the plan of imvliiR n uniform contract and spoke oi the rluhts of the lowest blddor. Ho said that the condition of affairs In Omaha at the present tlmo Is hotter than for two years past , and praised the work of the l < oal Estate Owners' association and of Its in dividual members for their noiipartlsan efforts. Ho ravored the form of uniform contract adopted by the joint cornmiuoo of the American Institute of Architects. Wost- crn Association of Architects and National Association of Builders. Ho had several nf the printed contract blanks which ho dis tributed , as well as the decision oftho Massa chusetts supreme court , sustaining the vor- diet in the lower court in favor of tno plain tiff In the case of McNoil against Boston Chamber of Commerce , establishing an im portant precedent in support of the claims ol the lowest Invited bidder for proposed buildIng - Ing contracts. Councilman Davis spoke In favor of get ting down to nctivo work again , nnd pushing the exchange work until it effected the pur poses for which it was organized. The secretary read several communica tions , among them a general cede for the government and regulation of sub-contract ing. Kcmarlcs were mane by Messrs. Viorllntr , Smith and Ittncr , and tho'n Mr. Davis said that ho would llko to hoar the members express - press themselves on the question of the city hall furniture. Ho said that ho did not bo- llovo that the council dad pursued the right course , and that ho had always opposed the plan of letting each bidder furnish bids on his own plans as it was simply n oucstlon of whicn could do the pret tiest pencil work. Ho thought that there should beono sot of plans and spccillcntlons. Mr. Vierlinij said that the plan that had boon followed by the council was unfair and unjust. Ho thought that ono sot of plans and upecilleations should tiavo boon agreed upon nt the start , and then submitted to general competition. Councilman T. F. Tuttle said that ho was a. member of the council commltteo on public property and buildings , to whom the matter had boon referred , and ho wanted It under stood that , the co in ml tie o had its Instructions from the council. They had simply done what they were ordered to d'o and no moro. Ho did not vote for Mr. Coots' plan nor for the Kotcham Furniture company , but if Mr. Coots could furnish the building properly all well and good so far us no was concerned. Ho know , however , that Mr. Coots had done some things that the Builders' nud Traders' exchange change would not care to endorse. Ho had lot contracts to outsldo parties that Omaha llrms could have performed Just as well as Chicago parties. So far as the furniture deal was concerned , ho know that Mr. Coots had neclcctcd to como before the commltteo for a long tlmo , waiting for plans to bo furnished by the architect of the building who was getting 10 per cent for his worn on every thing that wont in and was going to got $ ' 20,000 or $ S.-,000 as hU com mission , nnd then when Mr. Coots did llnnlly appear his plans simply were not in it by the side of those lurnlsnc'd by other bidders. Mr. Viorllngsaid ho hoped ho hadn't boon misunderstood , as ho was simply speaking in a general way and with no Intention of cen suring any particular individual. Mr. Tuttle tlo said ho hud taken no o ( Ton so , only he ' wanted to sot himself square with the world. Mr. C. C. Bickol thought the council was wrong In the course it bud pursued with reference to obtaining bids. So far as the oxchaugo was concerned ho wanted to see It propaor , nnd thought that a test case In Nebraska ilmllar to the ono in Massachu setts would bo of untold benefit to tbo honest contractors of the state who submitted bids In good faith. Mr. Wolshuns said that tbo council wont nbout the furniture matter In a very unbusi nesslike manner at the outsat , and ho did not see how any committee , no matter what they were ordered to do , could pick up suoh varied plans and consider thorn with any do- grco of satisfaction or success. Mr. A. A. Bickol thought there had boon no competition whatever in the matter , and 8am the contract as lot should bo abrogated. The council should then do what It ought to have done in the llrst place agreed on ono sot of plans and spoclllcallons , roadvortlsa for bids and rclot the contract. That ended the discussion of the furniture. question , nltnouch Mr. Uohaugh gave the council n punch indirectly. Ho said that ho wanted to say n good word In favor of the good battle that had boon waged in behalf of Omaha manufacturers. II o was interested in the manufacture of paving brick , and ho had noticed that whllo other cities were par ticular to specify that homo made brick must bo used on their streets , certain members of the Omaha Board of 1'ubllo Works and other individuals whom ho could -name seemed to want brlclc that was made anywhere but in Omaha. Ho thought Omaha ina'iufacturos should DO encouraged and thought it in vary poor taste for city ortlclaU to iliscrlmliuito against thorn when the citizens generally were working for thorn. Mr. Ylorliiiffsaid that this brought up a matter that was near his heart , and that was the work of the Manufacturers' and Con sumers' Association of Nabraska. Ho was proud to say that ho was a member of that organization and was sure that us success meant great benollt to the state. The associa tion now has 100 members and Is colngto the front us fust as a man ran travel the streets and pot the manufacturers In , Ho wanted every member of the Builders' and Traders' exchange to Join It. ] > lr , Dnvls said that there was another move oo foot in connection with the Manu facturers' and Consumers' association , and that was the circulation of printed agree ments to use only Omaha products , all things being equal , and there would bo 100.000 of these subscriptions In u vary short time. That called for the applause of the mem bers , and each member agreed to bo ono of thu 100,000. They then announced their In tention of dally attending the exchange , so far as practicable , and decided that at the next monthly meeting they would discuss the sub-contracting couo tnat bud been road in their hearing , After adjournment several members of the Woman's exchange served hot coffee and iiandwlchos , and Secretary Wfdgo smiled uidlbly over the success of his efforts iu > ho passed around with a box ot the very best Omaha- made cigars.

Mlko Is not the owner of n solitary coin of thorn.ilm , but ho Is full of gall , and If the supply holds out the homo on tha golden slope will bo reached before the rojoj bloom again , Schnclck presented himself and tils creden tials toCounty PoormajterMahonoyyost.erdy morning and unfolded n tala of woe , after Which honskod for u little transportation. The tale was a simple ono. Years ago Mlko nnd hm good wtfo wont west. Children were born to the happy couple , and in n few jears half n do/en little Schnlccks played about the door of tha huinblo cottugo that was hid among the sighing pines. Kvorythlng went well for a tlmo and Mlko thought ho could road his tltlo clear to 100 acres of fair land on the side of tha foot hills near the town. The boom drew on npaco nnd the moro it droxv , the tighter It wrapped Its folds about thu cottngo dweller. The eastern nnd the southern boomer put In an appearance. Mlko "proved up" on his land nnd refused a , cash offer of i'.lO.OOO , because ho thought Hlvorslde would bo n second Omaha. Ho wanted n cool million. But the boom did did not stay with Hiversldo moro than sixty days. It passed on and then Mlko found that tits 160 acres wore not much hotter than stump land. Ho had lived high nnd had enJoyed - Joyed n royal good tlmo all of "which had cost money that ho did not have. A day for squaring accounts came atlast , and to squuro his Miico lud to put n mortgage on his farm. With this addition to his earthly possessions life was not what It had boon before fore and the days of the free and easy tlmo wont glimmering. The payments were not mot when they bccatno duo and the place was sold under the sheriff's hammer. To make things worse the linnorablo head of the family sickened nnd tn j what money ho could rake and scrape hu started for Chicago to bo cured. The Chicago phvslclans performed their duty in the way of taking the man's cash , but they left him n cripple forlifo. After ho was cured of his Ills and his sores were healed ho pined for the western home , and the longer ho pined the moro thoroughly ho became convinced that the proper thing would bo to strike out and throw himself upon the breast of the cold world. Last Saturday the plan matured. Ho ap plied to the Chicago superintendent of the poor for transportation to Ulvorsldo. That superintendent was kind and furnished Mlko with a ticket to Frcoport. There ho arrived nnd was billed to Uubuquo f. o. b. At Lubuquo the traveler was sontto Waterloo , la. , and then the kind hearted superintendent of poor sent the man to Fnrt Oodgo with credentials. At Fort Dodge the poorrrastcr examined all the documents and supplied the man with a waybill that landed him in Sinux City , where bo arrived Wednesday. The authorities of the up-rivor town "did not want Mr. Schncick on tnoir bauds during the winter and so early this morning thov shipped him to this city , wbcro ho arrived nnd soon found his way to the ofllcc of Superintendent Mahonoy. Mr. Mahoney was anxious to glvo the man n lift toward the setting sun and at noon Mlko was sent to Lincoln , via the Burlington , with the re quest that ho bo passed along. IN T1MI3S OK PKAOB.

Mr. Boll is attending the Academy of Fine Arts nt Philadelphia , from which institution ho will graduate next spring. Hu intends to inako a special life work of portrait painting. The artistic tendency comes by heredity to young Mr. Boll , for the major is known to bo a very en thusiastic artibt , not only with the implements of war but in blending light and shade upon the c.mvus into images of beauty. His olllco always contains several pictures in various stages of development , upon which the major puts a few spare moments now and than. Ono of the prettiest pieces ho has done for some titno is now upon mi easel in his ofllco almost completed. It is a rural KI-OUC near Logan , Colo. The central llguro in the view is an old cabin occupied nt ouo time b > Hit Carson. It is surrounded by cottonwood trues and tall grass and close by the door there winds a well beaten road leading into the foothills in the distance. The approach of winter bus Its effect upon the stoutest hearts. The following touching wall was produced yesterday by the combined efforts of Messrs.

"No , you can't. Your husband , ha.i been acting very ugly over at the county Jail and ho is now in a solitary cell and will stay there until the grand jury moots , " was the positive reply of the attorney. The woman was Mrs. John Clark , nnd her husband Is in Jail upon a cuargo of making counterfeit money. Ho was committed to the keeping of .Jailor llorrleati about the midc'.lo ot September last to await the action of the federal grand Jury. Clark was given the very host accommodations in the Jail , as United States prisoners usually nro , because the covornment pavs TO cents a d.iy for their board , whereas the city pays but .TO cents a day for its pilsoncrs.

The case of the United States against J. J. Wilkinson was taken up yesterday in the United States court. This case is the result of an alleged illegal transaotlon on the part of Wtlltlnson in conducting the chattel loan business. It appears that Mr. Hiram J. Severance , an old sol dier , had borrowed some money from Wilkinson nnd deposited his pension papaw as security for the samo. Tno complaint against Wilkinson is for receiving and retaining pension papers nnd pension money duo. The case consumed a good share of the forenoon , nnd nearly all the afternoon. Messrs. L. G. and P. J. Hotzol , irroccrs at 2322 Cumlng street , were nrraUned In rotirt upon n charge of having failed to destroy the stamps upon about forty olcomargarino'tubs after the oleomargarine had been taken out of thorn. They gave bond for their appo.ir- anco when wanted ' .n court. The case of the United States ncainst .1. .1. Wilkinson for receiving1 pension papers mid keeping them In his possession as bccurity for money loaned to Hiram Severance was llnished in the afternoon and given to the Jury. The next case called was that of the United States against L. G. nnd F. .1. Hotzel , charged with falling to destroy the government stamps upon about fifty buckets of oleomargarine.

The law provides that as soon as the buckets of oleomargarine uro emptied the stamps must bo utterly destroyed. The defendant" will endeavor to provo to day that they did comply with the law. Their attorney said thnt the defendants had been In the habtt of destroying the stamps by breaking them up for kindling wood , but durincr the summer they did not ncod kind ling wood , so the supply of empty buckets had accumulated in the basnmoat.

Acting under the Instructions of a resolu tion , City Engineer Tlllson yesterday com menced the work of making plats to show the right-of-way of the various railroads that enter the city. T.hts plat will only show the location of the right-of-way within the cltv limits. It will , however , show what bulldlns-s are situ atod thorcon and what p.irties arc the lease hold ers. The purpose for whlnh this Is being ac complished is to aid the city clerk in making the assessment of railroad property , as pro vided for oy the amended city charter. When the plat is completed it will bo dollvcrod to City Clerk Groves who will inako tno assessment nnd the i bring thu matter before the Citv Board of Equalization. Mr. Groves today stated that ho was sorry that th.i assessment had not bson made , but bo did not think that ho had boon to blatno for the delay. The us- sossmont was made by the county .assessors and their books ro'.urhed to the county cli'rk. After that the tax list for Iho county had been mndo , and not until October IB did ho have a chance to sco the bocks. Prior to that tlmo ho did not linow whether or not the county assessors bud listed the railroad prop erty , but supposed thov had , as bounder- stood that It was tholr duty to list all taxable property within the city limits. As soon us ho dLcovorod that the prop erty bad not bcou listed , ho did even-thing in his power to have the mutter in sliapo to bring before the board ot equalization , but was unable to dose so , principally on account of the increase of the work in tbo ofllco causud by the approach of the election. Mr. Groves also stated that his ofilco was short of help and that Its being so was un fault of bis. Soon after the roslc- nation of Ed. Giberson bad baon accepted ho had appointed a doputv , but the council had refused to conlirin the appointment. Slneo that time ho and his men had boon compelled to work night and day to keep ahead of the routine work as it accumulated.

Every fall since we began business , some time during November , we have made it a point to hold a special sale of Overcoats. These sales have not been the inspiration of a moment , gotten up simply to fill so much space in the newspapers , but have been the result of well dir ected efforts toward a certain end. For a number of weeks past , our resident buyer in New York has devoted his attention pretty closely to Overcoats. Me has shopped New York as closely as a women trying to match a piece of dress goods , ( but with more success. ) Lucl . seems to have favored him. The continued warm weather has left the manufacturers with great stacks of winter garments on hand. They were anxious to sell oven at a loss. Our buyer I bought , and bought heavily. Me was there for that purpose. During the past week we have ' received over Two Thousand Fine Overcoats from the leading makers in New York. They rep resent every kind and style of garment in use this season. They represent every possi ble shape , shade and cplor , From the materials used in their manufacture , to the manner in which the buttons are sewed on , they are right in every respect. We have taken this immense lot of garments , divided them into two lots , placed them on sale , and today you can walk into our store and buy an overcoat for eight dollars or ten and a half , that a month ago would have cost you from six to eight dollars more. That's straight. Gives you your choice of a line of fine all wool Kersey and Chinchilla garments that a dozen dollars wouldn't have touched a month ago , and many of them arc worth fully fourteen dollars today. The Chinchillas are in smooth and rough weaves , with full velvet collars , corded edge binding , fine twilled linings , fancy striped sleeve linings , and fancy canton flannel pockets. They come in blues and blacks. The Kerseys are in all shades ; grays , slates , tans , browns , modes , drabs , &c ; They are lined with fine fancy plaid cassimere , have fancy heavy surah sleeve linings ; either set velvet or self collars and fancy canton flannel pockets.
