The report , of the city physician for the month of December shows a total of twenty- six deaths during Iho month and thirty-two burials. Secretary Kennedy of the State Board of Health wrote a letter to City Physician Macrae In which ho asked for on explanation of this apparent discrepancy. The only way lie could account for II to him self was thai possibly a few people had been buried alive and ho insinuated thai the records mighl bo kepi a Jitllo moro accurately. As a matter of fact , the death and burial records are kept moro accurately now ihan they have ever been before. The scemlnc discrepancy is easily accounted for by the facl lhal three bodies were brought hero from a dlstanco for burial and there were three still births , which wore not comuod among Iho deaths , but were among the burials.

These ticko .s will bo cashed at their full face value at llic ofilce of iho city clerk on demand. The price paid for this work , 29 cents per yard , Is about the same as thai usually paid for thh sorl of work , with the difference that none of this amount goes Into the pock ets of the contractors , but all of U Is paid directly to tlio men who perform the \\ork. Tills course wiis also decided upon for the bencrll of iho laborers , and lo the credit of thccontraclors it should be said that most of tlH'tn are lu favor of the plan , realizing lhal they are much nettcr able to stand the strain of the bant times than the men who usually work In their employ.

"I haven't earned $100 in the last three months , ' ' said one of the men al ihe citv building ycs'terday , "and you can believe me when I say I am glad to gel a change again. I have a wife and iwo children lo supfKirt , besides no father and mother , and It's been pretty hard lo keep going. " Others echoed the same sentiment , and it ts safe to say that nothing the city gov ernment has ever done has mot with so many expressions of gratitude from the class of citizens who have to look carefully after the small amounts. It will require about 4,000 yards of earth to complete the work , so that it will put about $1,000 into circulation where it will do the most good. The dirl will probably be broughi from ihe head of Fifth avenue , Casady's hill on Second strool , or "from Chris Straub's place. Al Ihe rale ilie worklngmen showed up yesterday work does not seem likely to last lout' , for over.v one of them is anxious to make as much hay while the sun shines as he can.

Cleveland Doesn't I.lko the Idea ol Split- tine 111 * 1'nrt.rVnlo . Open. For the past few days the wires between Washington and Council Bluffs have been kept hot with messages back and forth with reference to the light over the post- ofilce. It can bo definitely stated that all the telegrams which certain ncwsnapers and private individuals have claimed to receive bearing upon the situation are utterly false and fraudulent , so far as they state that cither Wads worth or Heiltman has been decided upon as the man to hold down the ofticc J9 ! ' the next four years. The fact is that no one. nov l'vS 'lie prei" ? M himself , yet knows who xwll be appointed. A Bun representative had a conversation last evening with a gentleman who is rec ognized as being on the inside , and whose utterances are considered official , by reason of the close rrl'itiotj ? lin sustains with the president and tiic postmaster goucraj. "I think , " said he. "that a telegram will bo received here by 10 o'clock tomorrow morning telling us the name of the lucky man. Cleveland is more favorably inclined to Htckinan than to Wadsworth. and if all ob structions were out of the way there is not the slightest doubt as to which of them would receive the appointment. But there is before him a pro test against Riekman's appointment , signed by a host of Council Ulutls democrats , and ho can't disregard It. The telegrams going back and forth today and yesterday have been for the purpose , If possible , of getting the protest-out of the way. Many of the men who slcnnd it are determined In their opposition to Hlekman , and it will be very bard to bring them over to the president's iray of looking nl the matter. The-pjstmaster gen eral tins given notice that the pulling and hauling must stop , and that this thing must be decided at once , so that wo look for sotno definite information in the very near future. lean say , however , that if Hickman is ap pointed It will be in opposition to the presi dent's ocst Judgment under the present cir cumstances. " This came frotr a man who is Known to favor Hiekman , so that when any newspaper or any private Individual claims to have inside information to the effect that either candidate has a "dead cinch" on the situation , the one making such a statement is either very much mistaken or Is wilfully lying. _ iiuNXii'ON mtus.

In spite of the resolution passed by the city council Tuesday evening , directing the county treasurer to seize the rolling stock ot the motor company for the special paving taxes claimed by the city , the prospects for nn Immediate move of this kind do not seem to be flattering. Treasurer Heed was seen at the court nouso yesterday by n BBC re porter and asked what ho would do. "Tho city council may pass resolutions of that kind for ninety-nine years , " was hi * re ply , "and if thnt U all it does It needn't ex pect mo to make any move. This Is a MSC in which there are some very nice legal points. and the amount involved is large. There Is a ques tion as to whether the motor company is bound to pny for any of the paving that was put down after the road was built , trotn the fact that It was not served with the statutory notico. The city attorney sty ? It Is , but I understand attorneys say it is not. lam under oltio.

I notice in TIIK Br.r. that in case of my refusal to act according to the council's Instructions the city attorney Is instructed to compel mo to do so by means of a writ of mandamus. That's Just what I want. Let them get nn order of court to back me up In tins i-asp. and then I shall go ahead with all the confidence that any one could have. I believe those taxes should bo paid , bull don't feel like carrying out my convictions to such an extent as to impoverish my bondsmen. " Smoke. T. D. Kintr Jc Co's Partagas. Domestic sean is the oest CH.lTfi l.\ THE CO IS It 11)O Its. Milton Nobles , a man whoso name is a mental evergreen in the dramatic world , is at the Paxton. He is accompanied by his estlmablo nnd talented wife. It is not generally known that Mr. Nobles started his' theatrical career in Omaha in IbGSand thai ho served in the army under Coloanl Harris of this city , tvho was in com mand of the Eleventh Wisconsin infantry during the "late unpleasantness.1 "I left the army after the war was over to adopt my present profession , " said the veteran actor yesterday , as he held n post mortem on the past. ' ! came to Omaha from Lnavenworth and pot an engagement as 'Juvenile' in the old Couldock company , which was then playing at the Academy of .Music on Douglas street , near Thirteenth , and which is now known as Hes- cue Hall. At that time Soldcn Irtvin was leading man and the play was 'Willow Copse. ' Among the others In the caste were Harry .Jordan , Virginia Germon , Annie Ward , Frank Weston , Mrs. Ben DoUar , Jessie Howard. J. B. Aihton and Harry fiainforth. Only five ofthe old caste are now alive. Those were great old davs and the Academy of Music- was the leading theater of Omaha. I left here in ISO'.I and went to the coast , concluding my trip with a general tour of the west , where I became fa miliar with western life and mannerisms. That is why so many of the latter arc intro duced in my plays. One occuliarity , thoroughly typical of mining camps , and one which casern audiences do not fully comprehend is the manner in which western men shoot at short range , as portrayed in 'Sire to Son. ' The general idcu in the cast is that the man who draws the revolver to do the work aims It at arms length on a level with the nose , vyhlle ihe marksman squints one eje and ueopsthe Klnx revOJvpr i" In" original position as sumed lu taking aim. This B uu erToue-ot& idea. In a street or saloon tight out west the participants in a shooting nffray pull their revolvers quickly and fire almost simul taneously. Their revolvers are pointed at each other only long enough to speed a bullet , and arc aimed low to mike nilow.iijc for a short jerk upwards. Men wuosTioot out west shoot for the heart and not for the head , and their revolvers are pulled and pocketed so quickly that they are seldom in sight. "Vos , all actors have an experience of stage fright , if they are conscientious in their parts , " said Mr. Nobles in response to an Inquiry. "Iso matter how long they are on the stage they experience a dash of nerv ousness jiow and then. Look at Maurice Barrymorp , for instance , in his recent ap pearance in a new play. He stammered and spoiled the part , and he is an oid-timcron the stage. Even as long as I have been playing 'The Phoenix' I sometimes grow exceedingly nervous 'U ho Phoontx' is an old plav. 'tis true , but I feel that It retains favor with the public , and has proved a cradle for many stars. M. B. Curtis , George Barnum , Liz zie Evans and others ure a few of the people whom I brought bzforo the public In the caste of the drama and Sam Morris will leave mo next season to 'star. ' Prosperity was a foe to M. B. Curtis. When ho was with me , playIng - Ing the part of Moses Solomon , ho never saved a cent and the greatest staSe he ever had at one time was STOO. When he finally got In the swim and took the tldo which led him on to fame and fortune I predicted that his course would bo meteoric. I think that the California lawyers sizoJ up his pile after the murder of Policeman Grant , and cared more for Curtis' money than they did for the vengeance of the murder. With money and friends pone , Curtis is now back with the rank and file for another start. Some people think that policemen 'are not worth anything , " but the experience of Curtis evidently proves that they come hicrh. as he has spent over ? 200,000 to clear himself of the charge of killing one of the bluo-coatcd guardians of the peace. " "Congressmen who endeavor to please their constituents have no snap , " remarked Colonel Lawlcr at the Paxton. "When I was holding donn the Second Illi nois district chair 1 got over 100 letters a nay , and it kept me hustling. I thlnu the congressmen of toJay make n mistake in seeking to obliterate all reference to their hnmblo beginning in life when they have their blosrraphicni sketches published. The tendency to aristocratic origin is supplant ing the old school of congressmen in this respect. I nm proud of the fact that 1 com menced life In a brickyard. I never went to school after I was 13 years of ajfe , because 1 had to bustle for a livinir. Thcro nro some disagreeable penalties attached to promi nence , however. For instance , that picture of mo which appeared in the World-Herald this morning looked as though. It was cut out with a meat ax by some one who was. carrying .1 colossal Jag. " "Never before In my thirteen years cxperl- cncoon the road have I seen such a scarcity of traveling men , " said C. C. ICempof New tlon in the Paxton lobby yesterday. He was ncsola and Wisconsin I met but few commer cial travelers and some of them had not opened their sample cases In two months Merchants will not buy. I have been nil over the west. Tno lower Pacific coast is deader ttrm a mackerel and hotel keepers HI the pleasure resorts are on the vorgoof ruin. The Midwinter fair n 111 revive things at 'Frisco , and Seattle seems to ho doing well. The north west seems touc huvlnp the rockiest liniu durine the present depression and it is exceedingly tough in the mining states of the west. Omaha Is hotter off than other localities I have visltod on this trip.

A report of the Btrangebt enscs of fatality comes from VultliHta. in Lowmlos county , Goer in , nnd its trntliulnefes is vouched for by two of the leading otlicitils of the ttcortfin Southern & Florida railtvad. According to thu report in the Mai-on Telegraph , a white man , whose name the olllcials had forgotten , and a negro became involved in a dillli-iiity at Lake park about eighteen months ago , which .ended by the white man killing the negro. There were five witnesses to the killing , till of wnom were negroes and whofeo testimony was somewhat against the whtto man at the commitment trial. At the commitment trial , however , the white man arranged bonds and was re leased. At each term of the court since then until last week the dclendant man aged to have the trial postponed , but last week the case was called in Lowndes superior court. A jury was drawn to try the case , the defendant was brought into court and the judge asked the attorneys on both aides if they were ready to proceed. The defendant's counsel answered in the allirmative , but the solicitor general arose nnd told the judge that ho did not care to ask for a postponement again , but that he did not see how they were to proceed with the case when none of the state's witnesses , who were the only witnesses , were present. "Why are thcy not present ? ' " de manded the judge. "You should ha\o looked after that before now , as I do not feel inclined to postpone this case again. " ' 'But , your honor , it is impossible to got them here , " replied the solicitor , and just as he was about to explain why they were not there , the judge inter rupted him bv saying : What uo you mean by saying it is im possible to have witnesses brought into this court when we have a fchcrilT and a full corps of deputies1 "I was about to explain when your Jionor interrupted raoj1 , ap/1 Jhen , before the juiigo coufd interrupt him again , ho informed the court that all five of the witnesses were dead. This was such a startling announcement to nuikq that the judge asked for an explanation. The solicitor then related the circum- tane.e9 of the tragic death of each of the live witnesses in the case. The solicitor's story was that shortly after the negro was killed by the de fendant two of the witnesses engaged in a ditliculty , and one killed the other. The killing was such a plain case of solf- defense that the coroner's jury exoner ated him. A few months later two moro of the negroes had a fight at a festival and killed each other. Still a few months later , the fourth witness was killed oy another negro in Madison , and only a short time before the trial the fifth witness was killed by a tree falling on him while at work cutting timber , thus leaving no one to testify against the defendant. The judge was deeply impressscd with what ho heard , but saw no alternative but to proceed with the trial. The defendant was allowed to make a statement and ho made a plea of self-dcfenbc. Strong arguments were made on both sides , but when the case was given to the jury it remained out only a fo\v minutes andbrousht in a ver dict of not guilty. The case excited a great deal of interest in Valdosta and Lowndcs county , as there was a very general opinion that had the wUncsnes been permitted to testify the white man would have been convicted.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 10. The principal event in tl.e senate today was the speech of .Sena tor Davis of Minnesota In support of the policy of non-intervention in Hawaiian nf- fairs. The senator plainly expressed him self as In favor Of the annexation of Hawaii , and declared It to bo finally the manifest destiny of Hawaii. The main portion of the argument of the senator was to show that thojevolution ; was the legltimato outcome of thc usurpation of the queen and of the attempted proclamation of n new constitution , and that her minis ters had no choice In proclaimini ; the provisional - visional government niul Mr. Stevens no a ? the govern ment dc fucto utter it had 'gained undis puted and peaceful possession of the gov ernment buildings and government archives. .Senator ( iorinuii'n Surirlr. | In the earlier part of the day , and on an other subject , Senator Gorman created some surprise by declaring that during the pasl three years the total approprlationfc of con gress had exceeded by $ .100,000,000 ttie total revenues of the government during that period. A largo portion of this enormous aggregate Is for public grounds , and is in a great measure yet unexpended. Senator PciTcr , populist of Kansas , com plained that there iiad been unreasonable delay in beginning Iho construction of the public building at Sullna , Kun. Appropria tion had been made tour or five years ago and the plans had not.\et been begun. Senator Gorman , democrat of Maryland , said the trouble was thnt congress had made appropriations for moro public buildings within the Inst few years than It had been physically possible to construct. Tna appro priations of the government during Iho pasl Ihreo years had exceeded by over f300,000,000 the total revenues of the government. Senator Call , democrat of Florida , ihoughl it was important that all public buildings should begin as soon as possible in order to give employment to the millions of unem ployed laborers now in actual need and dis tress. Senator Dolph did not think It was the duty of the government to provide for general destitution. Ho referred to the communication of Governor Pennoycr of Oregon to the president on Christmas. "The ueoplo of my state , " he wild , "aro indignant und have discredited the sentences of the governor. " 1'ryo'n Hawaiian Kmnltitlon. Senator Davis at this Juncture called up Senator Fryu's Hawaiian resolution. The history of the islands for the pist : fortv years was reviewed in some detail by ttio senator. After the constitution of IbbT was adopted in Hawaii the following three years wcrp marked by qon- slant quarrels , uprisings and occasional bloodshed. Ho insisted the evidence contained in the Blount report , instead of sustaining the conclusions of the commis sioner , as a matter of fact , suslained the position of ex-Minlster Stevens In the revolution elution of ISsD the woman , afterward the queen , now the pretended queen of Hawaii , was a prime mover. This revolution was to overthrow her own brother. Her record shows thai slie violated pledges and oaths , an thqt no reliance can bo placed on her "The testimony Is concurrent"said Senator Davis , "tljat the revolutionists expected to have trouble , that they did not roiy on the United States troops or marines for the suc cess of their movement , and thai they wore enabled to take care of themselves. This revolution would have gone an If not a ma rine had set his fool on the Island. "All this talk of implied duress by the United States troops by reason of their posi tion is the merest fallacy. The success of the revolution was already assured nnd complete and it was a recognition of a cou- dllion and nol a theory. " At this Juncture Senator Davis suspended hissDcech for the day and announced that he would conclude tomorrow. The senate then went into executive jessionj after " which it adjourned until to morrow. _ fspbrusKa AVas Overlooked. WASHINGTON , Jan. 10.
