"Forty dajs from the rising of the court , "
nt the sitting of which Joseph S Hartley
was condemned by the supiemo tribunal of
Nebraska to undergo the scntenco and pen
alty passei upon him by the district court
in Douglas county , expire today. Thcso
forty da > s were supposed to limit the time
of Hartlej's stay In the Douglas county
jail , but ho will bo among us , though not
of u.i for jet a fc v dajs. Sheriff McDonall
has as jet received no copy of the mandate
from the supreme court ordering the re
moval of the prisoner from the jail to the
pcnltcntlarj , nnd It Is apparent that he will
not for some dajs to come. Last week
Daitley's nttornojH tiled a motion for a
rehearing with the supreme court , and this
matter remains to be passed upon. It is
understood that Clerk Cumpbcl ! of the supreme
premo court rules that the tiling of the mo
tion ncl.s as a stop to the Issuance of the
mandate necessary to carry the sentence
into effect , anJ that there will be no labile
until the motion has been disposed of by
the court
At the thno the supreme court handed
don n ita opinion ainrmlng the findings and
i-ciitciico of the lower court thcro were
rumors that Hartley would make an at
tempt to escape from custody ot the sheriff
It was fold that ho might take advantage
of the degree of liberty that was accorded
him during his appeal to the supreme court
nu. ) make his escape from the county jail
These rumors have so far proved giound-
ICBS When the sentence of the trial court
was affirmed Hartley wns shorn of his privi
leges and was removed to the strongest part
of the jail. Ho Is given no special con-
Eldcratlon wl.utcvor. While Ills stay In
Omaha may bo a little moro prolonged , he
will bo kept as secure as any other of the
men detained against their will In jail.

Tbo lien's Clan of Trinity Mcthodli

iilsht. Iho chief feature of the mcctlru
was the dcliato on the question , "Hc-solvrd
That Han all should be annexed. " Dr. Tea
ami Olher Auibnioedy affirmed and U. C
Powlor nd A. C. Knglcr denied the ques
tlon.
tlon..Mr.
.Mr. Attchmocdy said that It nas a qucs
lion of either annexing Hawaii or Allowing
some foreign power to auumo control of the
Islands. Hauall In the handa of a foreign
power ivould Imperil our commerce end our
safety.
The- gist of Mr. Fowler's argument was
tint tthat uo need Is bolter la-AS and legla
latlon and not more territory. With Hawal
annejccd o would enjoy no moro privileges
than wo do now. Moreover Hawaii's sugar
lii'lvitrlrs vo.ild Imperil ours and Its Igno
rant imputation Is unflt to bseomo cltl/cns.
Mr. Teal contended that the reclprocltj
treaty with Hawaii admits Its sugar free
to the United States , hence annexation couU
not affect the sugar Interests Under Unltct
Ktntts laws contract labor would bo abollshci
and the rtmilt would be a great change In
the populitlon. When some other power
grabs Hawaii tlio United States will 'be com
pelled to defend It because of the protect

At the meeting of Iho Hoard of Tire and
Police Commissioners last night a communi
cation was submitted from the chief of po
lice In regard to the Insufficient number ot
patrolmen on hand. It recommended
an Immediate addition of forty policemen
and twenty dcttctlves to the force to ade
quately cover the city during the coming
year. The statement was made that the
present number ot patrolmen was Insufll-
rlent even under present conditions nnd that
the force In active patrol duty did not at
present exceed fifty mn. Anotr-or portion of
the plan Is to appoint ten special onicerE
next June who liavo had experience In the
police service of other cities and who are
familiar with the croaks of their particular
towns. The matter was taken under consid
eration by the board.
Most of the session was consumed In a
lengthy contest against the granting of a
liquor license to Fred H. Krug at 1821
Charles street. The objections were rained
that the site was within tliree blocks of the
Kellom school , that It faced MI Nineteenth
street , n boulovaid much In use -for family
driving , and that a taloon there would ma
terially Injure surrounding property Inter
ests The genuineness of several signatures
on the applicant's petition were called Into
doubt. The defense produced W. F. Web
ber , who testified that all the names on the
pctlticn wire property holders , according to
the records , and Charles How ell , who was
able to state that do had seen all of the
rames on the petition signed by their re
spective owners The point was also made
that the neighborhood was in a mcasuco a
business locality. The case was taken undci
advisement until the special meeting Fri
day night.
James McNamara.'a member of Hose com
pany No. 4 , was then placed on trial for
appearing in company quarters in an in
toxicated condition. Ho was dismissed from
the service on a plea of guilty. The com
plaint against James J. Norton of Engine
company No. 4 , charged with Illegally as
signing Ills salary , was set for htarltig on
next Monday night. The protest In the
liquor CUBO of Jame.3 rnrrett. 4002 Hamilton

The city council held a short bcsslon last
night with only six members present , Messrs
Dennett and Tralnor being absent. An ordi
nance providing for a special tax to pay the
cost of sidewalks In the permanent aldcwalk
district was passej and the city clerk was
Instructed to draw warrants for $430 In favor
of A. Stutzer. the contractor , for the walks
laid. The ordinance a&scssing a special tax
to pay for the Missouri avenue sewer was
patised without opposition. This plan pro
vides for a graduated assessment according
to the benetlts. Property owners petitioned
for a sidewalk on the cast side ot Thlrtj-
ntnth street , from Q to U street , and the
document was referred to the committee on
streets nnd allpjc > An acceptance of the
new gas frcuchlso ordinance was filed bj
Messrs. Flynn , Crcssey and Wjman , and the
bond of the new company was accepted.
Judge Christmatm reported that of the po
lice court fines for January $20 50 had been
: urned Into the school fund. Ticasurer
! ! road\vell reported a balcuce of $50CCt on
land at the clcee of buslncos January 31.
Attorney A. H. Murdock , who waa em-
plojed to Investigate the records ki the
Charles Lund damage suit to see If it would
jo possible to reopen the ease and set aside
the Judgment obtained , filed a lengthy re
port giving a history of the case in detail.
According to his opinion the city could not
very well at this late day have the caoa
reopened. Schultz secured an order for the
street commissioner to clean the six inches
of mud off the west end of the Q street
viaduct and to repair the sidewalk on the
west side of Twentj-eighth street , between
Q and S street. Varnsant obtained the ccn-
sent of the council for repairs to the walk
on the east side of Twcntj-thlrd , between
M and N street , and Kellj worked through
an order for the repair of the crosswalk at
Twentj-seventh and I streets. Crossings In
jad repair were reported at Twcntj-flist nnd
I streets and Twentieth and J streets. The
committee on streets and allejs will be re-
qucutcd to Investigate these crossings. Pctl-
lens signed by residents of this city , of
lollevueand Sarpy county , protesting against
the laying of a track across Uellevue avenue ,
were read and refcried to the street end
alley committee. Adjourned until February
28.
Ornilu ( in TiitnO-Third Strei-t.
A petition Is being circulated requesting
the city council to grade Twenty-third street
from O to S street , and It Is understood that
nany of the property owners In this localltj
are in favor of the movement. Hev. D. W.
Morlarty , pastor of St. Agnes' church , con-
cmplates the erection of a parsonage on
ho church property at the southeast corner
of Twenty-third and Q streets and Is anxious
0 have the street graded before he com
mences building. Property owners on Tvven-
y-second street would Illio to be Included
n this grading district , provided It Is created
n order that the cost of filling lots on that
street might bo reduced. The dirt could be
akcti from Twenty-third street and filled In
ho low places with only a slight expense , aa
ho haul would bo a short ono. In the pro
files /Twenty-third / stteet there would be
a cut of live feet at Q street and a cut ot
ho same depth at P street. Some of the
iroporty owners residing In this locality do
lot think that the cut would bo deep enough
at P street , nnd the city engineer may bo
requested to make a change In the profile
vhen the tlmo for action comes. In case the
proposed grading on Twenty-third street Is
1 emu It would bo advisable It Is thought , to
nako a cut on Q street between Twenty-third
and Twenty-fouith streets , In order to do
away with the hill which now stands bo-
wecn the church and Twenty-fourth street.
'hl3 petition for this grading will most
111ely bo presented to the city council within
a short tlmo In order that the work may bo
done as early In the spring as practicable.

The present condition of the streets Is
auslug a great many taxpajcrs to talk
over the proposition to compel prisoners
vho are confined In the elty Jail for mlnoi
offenses to work out their fines on the
treets , At this time of the > car the street
repair and general funds are always low
ami especially Is this true of the present
Imo on account of heavy expenditures dur-
iif , ' the early p-irt of the fiscal jear It
costs the city In the neighborhood of 40
cents a day to feed each prisoner detained
at the city jail arid many taxpayers appear
o bo In favor ot putting these men at
vork piling the mud up so that wagons
could haul the accumulation away. l'\5i'
hat matter It has been suggested that tte
major or chief of police might detail an
nicer to watch these prisoners and eco
hat they performed their duty and did not
scape. A number of property owners have
alkcd with some of the members of the
: lty council about this matter and It posst-
ily uvjy receive the attention ot that body
n the near future.

Merchants In the business part of the city
are complaining about auction firms being
allowed to do business on the principal
treets of the city , The city ordinances pro
vide a license for auction stores at the rate
of $50 a year , This Is considered far too
low by the merchants and It U possible that
requests will be made to the council to In
crease thla fee. One auctioneer on N street
who recently went out ot business procured
a llcenio at toe regular rate , but another
atoro of the same Vlndjls now running with
out ii license. Huelntss men claim that
something ought to' ho tlono to protect them ,
especially op the c\iy \ ia liable to bo full ot
snap gjimes during , Uirf present Bummer.
In connection \vlth Jlcjencc matters , the city
authorities are liable to have a little trouble
with an Omaha Una at house movers , 'who
have moved a building down from Omaha
Mid left It standlngtlntlhc direct at Fifteenth
and Missouri avonuoT Several attempts
have been made by the city engineer and
license Inspector to sac the movers of the
building , but co far Jthelr efforts have been
unsuccessful. Local house movers are com
pelled to take out a license costing $50 a
joar and they urge that the ordinance bo
enforced when outside movers haul buildings
Into this city. In the present case the build
ing has been left In the street so as to
occupy nearly all ot 4ho room and make U
almost Impossible for \chlcla to pass ,

Property owners In the northern part of
the city nnd west of Twenty-fourth street
are prepirlng a petition for a ten-Inch
sewer from A to D streets to be laid In the
alley between Twenty-fourth and Tvventj-
flfth streets. A sewer was built Hint fall
extending from D to H streets along this
alley , but It Is now desired to xtend It
clear to A street In order to take care ot the
largo number of residences north of D
street. Many of ( ho propertj- owners In this
proposed now Olstrlct are non-residents and
some trouble has been cxprlenced in ob
taining the necessary slgmlures , but those
Interested asserted jestcrday that before
long the petition would represent the rc-
( Itilfilto number of feet frontage and would
then bo submitted to the1 city council.

Mrs. Ilorer opened her course of lectures
yesterday afternoon nt the Woman's ex
change , on Seventeenth and Douglas streets ,
before an appreciative audience of over 100
women , who greeted hero with the Chautnu-
tau salute. Her subject was , "Simplicity
In Cooking. "
She commenced her lecture by stating
that everything she gave would bo from n
hjglcnlc nnd scientific standpoint. That ( do
American people live too high nnd If she
could Impress upon them the Importance of
keeping tbelr health , as well as their monej- ,
eho would feel that she had done a good
work. We should build up and not tear
down. The mother , being ( tie architect ot
the family , should make It her especial
business to build up her own family. One
third ot the children born Into this beauti
ful world dlo befcrc the ago ot 1 year , and
one-halt before they reach joung manhood
and joung womanhood If girls were taught
cookery In the sttiools , they would under
stand the relation ot foods to health and
the proper -way of preparing them. This
country Is rich In the fleshy fungi which Is
alloncd to go to waste through Ignorance
of their value.
During the course of her remarks Mrn.
Rorer prepared ccvcral dainty nnd pilatablo
dishes. Ttio first , n cornbread , which was
very simple and especially desirable for chil
dren. The next dish was homo meat balls
from the tough perls ot the beef , followed
by some caramel custards , French omelet
and omelet souffle. Mrs. Horcr said several
times durfcTg the afternoon that cooking was
really very easy work , and that It was a
real rest to her to cook dinner for ten or
twelve persons. The dishes prcpaicd were
passed among the women , who pronounced
them very delicious.
The next lecture will be given this after
noon , from 2.10 to 4 , followed by the first
of the evening lectures at 8 o'clock , to which
men are Invited

Our now 1898 Spring stocks are now about ready.
Wo will put them on sale in a few days. Before
commencing this , our twenty-sixth season in Omaha ,
and our first Spring season in the now store , wo would
like to hear from anybody who has bcon in any way
dissatisfied with past dealings in this store. During
the season just dosed wo have sold almost thrco
times as many goods as in any previous season and
it would bo strange indeed if there were not some
who had more or less cause for complaint. If any
such there be , we will deem it a.special favor if they
will communicate with us cither personally or by
mail. It is our aim that The Nebraska shall bo neb
only a safe store but a faultless store as near as
that can bo. Any complaints or grievances will bo
investigated and adjusted as promptly and cheerfully
as you can desire. Send in complaints. No matter
how trivial or how old.
