He IITI made no announcement of his plans will legard to his sMbordluatey , but It Is not ex pected that any mateilal changj will be made.

Ho has undo no arrange ments for a partnership , and intends to buih up an Independent practice. City Attorney Council Is resting easily In the txpcctatlon of a leappolntment. His selection Is taken to Inulcato tint Spccla Agent John Duller , who 1ms had charge of the eviiienc ? In all the city cases for jearr will also be retained.

Ilulldlng inspector Deverell is one of those who Is not certain exactly where he Is at It Is the general impression thai there will bo a new' man In his shotn In the course of lime , end In that case he will probably return to his former occupation of contractor. License Inspector Hurst is slated for roap- polnlment If promises are gocd for anyt'ning and Is not looking after a new Job. A. D.

Plumbing Inspector Duncan still has iiop s of ousting John Lemly fiom his council- manic shoes , but If thai falls lie still has his trade as a plumber to fall bark on. His deputy , Mr. LIchtcnberger , Is one of the lead ing candidates for the. s > uec sslon to the head of the department , and Is one of those who are pinning their faith to Uroatt'n's promises The eight retiring councllmen nro pietty well provided fcr and are losing no sleep over thc.tr respective futures. Two , Unrkley nnd Lemly , were re-elected. Edwards be comes city treasurer nnd the remainder are all engaged In business Indopsmlontly of their official positions. Hack is the local agent of ono or two Insurance companies and also th' proprietor of some gravel beds In which nc gold mines have yet been discovered. Itechel Is the local auditor of the Pacific Express company and that Is good enough for him. C&'iin will quit politics and attend strictly to his Farimm street business.

He cnmo to Omaha twenty years ngo from England , nnd remaln'd In the city continuously. Ho wns an expert stenog rapher , nnd as such he was connected fcr a number of years with The Hee , dolnff at the mine time some reportorlal work. Ho later vv-nt with Llnlnser & Motcalf , nnd was with them for a mnnuar of years. Ho then re- turtrd to The Hee , nnd remained with the paper , with the exception of some Intervals , until txvj jears ago. During the pa t two y nrs he found the struggle for existence a hard one. Ho wav a man of much Intellectual ability. Ho received a fair educatlrn , and during his early days was employed on London papero His ability wns shown by the fact that ho vns assigned to reperl sp cches In I'nrlln.- ment. H later fell heir to a snail sum of money , nnd spent thin In traveling on the contlnc'nt , especially through France. Ho then came to this country anil to Omaha , al- wnvs cherishing , however , a deep love for his mother country. Ho wns nbout 40 years cf age. So far as knoxv n , he has no rclallves In Ihls country. Ho was regarded with considerable liking by hla friends , especially the nexvsp.apar men , to all of whom he wan very well known. He wns looked tip-n ns a character with more or less fccenti Icily hut ono with a goo I heart and abundant good xxlll and god na ture. This regard during lito year'i xxas slrongly tinged with pity and regret , for it was remaiked that he was fast becoming a ruin from drink , the vice of n lifetime. His eccentricity became mania.
