Unless alt signs fall when the administra tion Is democratic Urn Omaha & Council Bluffs Hallway company may look within the next few days for a buzzing ot such dimensions that the strains of a German street band will sound llko nn tuoltan harp in comparison. The air has been rife during the past woeik or so with conjectures as to what the "committee of ono hundred" would do about the 3-cent taroordtnanco which was passed by the council at Its last meeting. Yesterday the conjectures wcro partially answered. Spencer Smith. .T. W. Crosslnnd , Frank Trimble and G. E. Meyers boarded a train nnd tendered the conductor 3 cen.ts each In payment for their respective rides. The conductor refused to take less than .a nickel ; the passengers refused to pay moro than 3 cents : thcro was no chance for a compro mise and the consequence was that the members of the committee found themselves carefully but firmly set feet downward on the paving , for which the motor company has so f.ir failed to pay the taxpayers , who gave It a bonus of $50,000 as an Induce ment for operating. Another train was trle > d , with the same result , every member of the party being put off. The operation was repeated eight time * . Mot With the S.uiio TremtltXMIt. While tills was going on two other detach ments of the committee were trying the same plan on trains In other parts of the city. Colonel W. F. Baker , J. C. Dollaven and L. A. Casper composed one squad , and J. T. I3vans , S. B. Wadsworth , Smith Saundcrs , L. M. Shubort , W. C. Dickey and I. N. 1-llcklnger thn other. They met with precisely the s-xmo expei-lcnccs as the first. President Stewart of the motor .company happened to bo on board ono of the trains , but ho de clined to take any notice of the fact that something was going on In which ho might properly bo Interested. Informations are to bo filed In police court today against tbo superintendent of the line anej against each of the conductor * who onlcl.Uod at the puttlng-off soiree. The nen- alty provided by the now ordinance is $100 for each offense , aim if the committee suc ceeds in convicting each of the conductors on each charge it can readily be seen that the police fund will iccelve a boost which will in a largo measure compensate for the loss of the thousands of dollars In taxes which the company refuses to pay. The war now seems to bo on and the outcome will bo watched for with the greatest of Interest by the general public. JONES IS IllSUHAltUUU. Coroner' * .Tnrjr Uimbto to Derlclo IVhestlicr Ho Killed llelle Momlluti or Not. Charles Jones Is again at liberty , after spending two days ami n night In Jail. Ho is not discharged beeauso the coroner's Jury bus exonerated him from the killing of Belle McMillan , but because the Jurymen , who wcro at first inclined to hold him to the grand Jury , changed their minds on the argu ments of the ono who was in favor of re leasing him. Another session of the Jury was held yesterday afternoon , but the evidence - denco that was brought forward was in no respect different from that which the Jury bad already listened to. Jones was put upon thu stand once more , but only succeeded in taking back some of tbo things ho had already said and getting tangled up gener ally. After the evidence had all been hoard the Jury retired and for over an hour labored in the endeavor to make up a verdict. At last their efforts wcro crowned with success. The verdict reael llko this : AVe , the jury , find that Hello McMillan came to hordeath trurn a pistol shot , but are unable toduturmlno whether the wound wus i > olf- Inlllctecl or olhui wlso. This verdict , so different from what had been looked for , was the object of consider able discussion during the afternoon and evening. It had generally been supposed that Jones would cither bo held to the grand Jury or clso that the Jury would disagree. And while the verdict was being discussed F. T. Seybert came in for his share of criti cism. Ono of the Jurymen is a member ol tbo lire department and is stationed at thu South Main street cneino house , next tc which is located the saloon where the tragedy occurred. It Is at least regarded in very questionable taste for Mr. Soybcrt to appoint on the Jury a man who is shown bi1 the evidence on hand to have so cxtremolj neighborly fcolings for the man who wus chlolly interested in the kind of verdict that was to bo rendered. Jones was discharged as soon as tbo vor diet was returned. Ho has been lying in jail without oven an information having beer HloJ against him , ami although ho will prob ably be so thankful at getting off with f whole newt that ho will bo willing to waive whatever lights ho might have for damage : in a false imprisonment case against the city , ho has a lighting chance to make things interesting. It is not regarded as at all likely that any further proceedings wll bo taken against him , although some of those who huvo Investigated the case are inclluui to regard the verdict as an unjust ono. SAI.AUIIS rixio. Lust Jlvcnlnc'a Moutlng of Iho Schoo llonnl KiislnosH Transacted. J. R. MpPhcrson and a number of otho persons living in the eastern part of the clt ; wore present at the meeting of the schoo board last evening to cntora protest agalns the closing of the old I'lerco strcot school They had noticed in the papers that IK teachers hud been selected for tha school , and on investigating hui learned that it was the intention of tli board to close the building. They preseutoi a remonstrance which had been circulate ! and signed by about a dozen citizens.

Ho will moot the Janitors nt his ofllco on North Main street to morrow evening. A matter of some Interest came up when J. A. Murphy presented a bill for $50 forlum- her which ho had used In propping the roof of the Madison avcnuo building. Ho stated tha 1 iu drawing the plans the architect had not calculated on so heavy a roof nnd that the walls wore consequently not ahlo to stand the strain , but had spread. Ho had called the attention of the architect to the trouble and by his direction had purchased the necessary lumber to prop up the roof , for , ho said , the walls would Inevitably have col lapsed had ho not done so. There was a dis position on the part of the hoard to require him to got his money but of the architect , and that $50 will probably not bo paid without - out a thorough ventilation ot the whole dlftlcultv. . The committee on buildings and grounds reported that the change In heating appara tus at the Eighth street building haci boon completed , it was decided to hold back * 10 of the pay to defray the expenses of clean ing up the grounds nnd building. The heat ing plant at the Third strcot building is also complete , nnd a special meeting of the board will bo hold to inspect It. The discussion with reference to the now Thirty-second strcot school house resulted in the determination to have two rooms of Iho building completed by the tlmo of the opening of school , no matter what it might cost thu contractor. To the Editor of THE BKE : "Whom the gods would destroy they flrst make mad. " In the light of the truth of this old Grecian maxim that has como down an n prophecy through 4,000 years of human endeavor nnd failure , can wo sco anything else than the doom of the old line life insurance com panies ! It wns the frenzy of madness that prompted them to fill thrco columns of Tin : SUNDAY Bnn with attacks upon the liberal methods of Insurance nnd savings repre sented by the bond anil investment compa nies , methods that hiivo cut deeply Into the sources of profit of their gold-llneel whirl pools where mill Ions and billions of dollars of the people's money has been sucked In and sunk never to be returned. Of course we know that they are bettor able to make attacks financially than wo nro to elofcnd them , for they have millions of dollars to glvo to newspapers where wo have nothing , but wo presume , knowing the fairness and strict business methods of THE BEE , that they nro not charged nny less per line than we are , nnd wo know that wo pay our good hard cash for every line wo have printed. But the contrasts In these columns tell their own and the whole story , and the w idcr the publicity given and the of toner told the stronger will bo the hold on public favor of the Perpetual Maturity Bonding company of Council Bluffs. Lot mo call at tention to some of those contrasts. In the llrst column of their thrco column article thev say : The Perpetual says the flrst 300 bonds will bo paid in consecutive orocr. That will rceiuirc an accumulation of $300,000 in blocks of $1,000. Suppose the company has 1,000 continuous investors paying $1,000 a month , or 12,000 a year. It would take the holder of bond 800 just twenty-flvo years to reach n divvy. Meanwhile , the managers will have pocketed $73,000 in cold cash. Now what would be the result if you sub stitute ) the New York Life , your especial contributor of doubts and dollars ? Take 300 tontine policies of $1,000 each , payable in twenty years , 11 vo years less than they have figured as the possible period of maturity of our 300 bonds. It will bring n revenue to our company , they say , of $75,000. The "r.iko off" on the same business for only twenty years for the New York Llfo will bo n little trifle of tavii ? tnntlrcil and Jlfttj thomaiul dollars ! The policy holders in both organizations pet precisely the same returns , $1,000 each , upon the maturity of caclf company's obligations , with the differ * enco that wo take from the policy holder about 1,000 per cent less "rake off" in the way of costs than our competitors. It cost the old line company , for u period of twenty-six years , an average per year of $8 for $1,000 to pay all death claims and Indemnities of every nature , but they exacted from the policy holder an average of $43 n year per $1,000 , while in tho. Perpetual Maturity Bonding company it would cost only $15 a year , only $3 of which could bo used for expenses. But it would require twcntv-flvo years to mature tha 300 bonels only if there wcro no lanscs and no growth , two absolutely Impossible con ditions. This question of lapses is onojthat all old line organisations fight shy of. It Is their citadel that must bo jealously guarded ns the very principle of llfo , for it is thoit chief source of profit. In twenty-six jears in throe of the big eastern insurance states , it poured Into the coffers of these companies over two billion nine hundred ntiltloit dollars from deluded contributors who never got back n cent. In the Perpet ual Maturity Bonding company every cent of the lapses and all fines and transfers go to the payment of the bondholders , and not a cent of it for expenses. * Thcro is another feature thnt is not to be spoken of , either , for it is nn equally dcllcato subject , nnd that is the incon ceivably vast sums pouring constantly Intc thcso scaled money boxes of the cast. j\ rough Inquiry wns made a short time ago by a curious gentleman for an estimate of the amount of money that went out of Council 11 hi IT 3 each month for the payment of life Insurance premiums , anil ho found that ll approximates between $50,000 and $75,000 with perhaps three times ns much frotr Omaha. How much of it ovcrcomts back ; The very fact that this gigantic and con certed attack is made upon the bonding companies indicates their importance , anel the fact that they nro withstanding- indi c.itcs thulr strength. Thcro Is no othci kind of financial institution in the work that could withstand twenty-four hours the attacks that have been made for month ! upon the bonding anel low premium invest mcnt companies , a sample of which was the Sabbath day assault upon the Perpetual 01 Council Bluffs. The principle of ohoip , quickly-maturing insurance has como to stay , and will not down under any attacks that can bo made upon It. They do not charge us with falling to perform nny of our obligations. They de not say that wo have failed to pay n bone when duo , or intimate that a penny of the funds sot apart for that purpose IMS ovui been mlstpproprlatod , but the complain1 socms to bo that something llko this mlgh occur in the future * .

An ordinance was introduced to grade S , T and U street ! from Thirty-sixth to Forty- fourth. After a number of revised ordinances wcro rend Mr. Schultz moved that the rules bo suspended nnd that the special matter of grading J street from Twenty-second to Twenty-fifth street bo taken up. At the last meeting of the council , in response to n poll- ' tton , this strcot was ordered graded In the district above Indicated. There wcro n , number of property owners present who filed a protest against the work being dono. Mr. A. H. Miller stated ho lives at Twenty- second and J.

Mtko O'Horno salei-that Mr. Miller would bo benefited by the grade as much as any ono else , lie wns In favor of the grade. Mr. C. L. Talbott , llko Mr. Miller , was opposed to paying any moro grading tax for grading J strcot. Mr. J. Jones nd paid grading tax once on this strcot nd ho considered that enough. The change f the limits of the grading district was the auso of thu dissatisfaction.

Pi Tubbs was grunted four days leava of absence. Low Miller , the colored policeman who ivns suspended some time ago , handed in his eslgnation last night anel It was accepted , filler explained thtit ho was suffering from he toothache and took four largt bowls of iquor to alleviate His suffering. The medi cine proved too strong and knocked him out. n closing Mr. Miller , , ijddcd that in potting drunk ho had committed no greater o ( Ten so than had some of hib superior officers , and at 1 time , too when they didn't oven have the toothache.

It pro vides that commissioners pay $3,500 toward paving the Intersections , and will also build n 200-foot culvert , to coat not moro than $3,000. Mr. Wyraan moved that the clerk ascertain from what fund this expense was to bo paid , stating that ho did not wish it to bo taken from the South Omaha road [ und. The motion prov.illcd. Upon motion of Mr. Wood the city en gineer was instructed to draft on ordinance to establish the grade from Thirteenth strcot and Missouri avcuuo south to the Sarpy county line , and on N street Crora Thirteenth to Eighteenth.
