THE OMAHA DAILY BEEt WflPNESPAY , MATtCH 30 , 1898. ON COllNCll PROCEEDINGS Jfcyor Moores Presents a Lar e Assortment of Vetoes. VIEWS ON ELKHORN VALLEY HOUSE DEAl Comptroller AVcaUierK File * n Show In * on the Condition of the I.lKht- Kiinil , Hhonlnw What Street I.nmi > Coxt. * Mayor ( Moores regaled the city council las Bight with one of the choicest assortment : of vetoes that has ever been dished up fo ho edification of that body. There were tei ef them and the council adjusted matter R evenly as possible by sustaining five. The most notable feature of the vctoi pro gram was that referring to .the proposed set Ocmcnt of the complications growing out o the negotiations for the purchase of the Elk Iiorn Volley house , iln this case the mayo fory pointedly Intimated that It was pure ) ; the fault of the council that the trouble hai rteen and that If there were any bills to b etlled the members should bo held Individ ally responsible. In this ccunectlon ho said EXPLAINS HIS POSITION. I return herewith , without my approval document No. 12G3 , pasned by your honor able body March 25 , 1S9S. This rcsolutloi directs the payment of $500 to Mrs. Mar ; Momrt and I'M ) to Gconsc P. Bcmls Ken Kstnte company In full settlement of thel claims nunlnHt the city by reason of thel cnncelatlon of negotiations for the purchas of the Elkhorn Valley House property t 1)0 used us a city Jail. I veto this resolution , because I canno ece how the city IH under nny obligation to Mrs. Moran or to the George 1' . lluml Heal Estate company , and I see no rcaso why we should make a present to ther of $1,000 of the city money. If any Injur has been done to Mrs. Jlornn's propert the city la not liable for It , nor for an other unauthorized act of the city em r loyes outsldo the scope of their nuthorltj Nor Is the city bound to pay Mr. DemlB commission on the transaction , as no cor tract was entered into anil no compromH . with him U neccss.iry , In my JudKineiv All contracts , to be binding1 upon the cltj must llrst be p.isscd by the council an then submitted to the mayor .for his ni provnl. No resolution looking toward In purchase of this property was ever BUI milted. to me , nor was 1 consulted In tli matter. For this reason It was not In tti power of any pcisons to bind the city , an 1f nny olllclals have done any damage t Mrs. Mortin'a property under the supp ; elllon that a purchase would be made , the Jiavo rendered themselves liable , but nc the city. , , Mr. Hemls Is too well posted on munlt ipal affairs not to know that the city coul not be bound by nny such haphazard an unauthorized proceedings as were pursue In this case. The vetoe waa sustained by 8 to 1 , Lobec casting the minority vote. ON STHBBT REPAIRS. The resolution ordering the city treasure to cancel the personal taxes of James Sti p'henson amounting to $13 , was vetoed b cause' the action \\QS contrary to the recon mcndatlons of the city attorney and to commissioner. The resolui'on wai pibK over the veto , Mercer casting the only ncgt tlvo vote. The mayor transmitted a very vlgoroi veto of the resolution by which the Board i Public Works was ordered to repair Norl Twenty-fourth street at a cost ot $300. I elated that ho had been advised by the ell engineer It would cost at least $1,000 to pi the street in good condition. A new pa\ mcnt on this district wan a. public necessli and If the property owners were not publl spirited , cnough to sign a petition for r paving It was not just that the entire cl ehould pay for the Improvement ot the etrcet. Karr Insisted that It was only Intended fill up eome of the worat holes In order protect the city from damage suits and tl resolution wes adopted , Burkley votli "No. " The Twenty-sixth street paving ordlnan nnd several unimportant resolutions we vetoed on account ot clerical errors and these cases the vetoes -were sustained. - The contract and 'bond of Hugh Murpl for curbing Half Howard street from Thlrt elxth to Thirty-eighth streets was vetoed I cause the comptroller had not certified th funds were available for curbing the Inte sections. The veto was sustained and a ue contract will beprepared. . < The contract of J. B. iSmlth & Co. for tl North Twenty-fifth street paving WM n approved for the same reason. A resolution by Lobeck directed the com troller to add Interest at the legal rate i the December salaries ot city officials th are still unpaid. It was referred to t finance committee. * PETITION FROM HACKMEN.

LOBECK'S KITE ORDINANCE. The comptroller WM directed 'to receive bids for the publication ot the annual re- porta for 1897. The volume will be similar to that ItBUed last year and must not exceed 300 pagoj. At the request of some Interested plumbers the operation of the plumbing ordinances was suspended Insofar as It relates to work done on tire exposition grounds. Comptroller Westberg'n statement of the expenditures of th& various dcpirt.nents dur ing the first quarter ot 1893 was placed on flic. It showed that the limit prescribed at the beginning of the year had been very closely adhered to. Original ordinances were Introduced which contemplate new paving districts as follow. ? : Twenty-sixth avenue , Farnim street to north line of Douglas ; Doug.aa , Twenty-filth avenue to T\vcnty. lxth avenue ; Tenth street from Lincoln avenue to Castcllar and from Cas- t'llar to Bancroft ; Twenty-sixth street , Pop- ploton avenue to Woolworth avenue. According to an ordinance Introduced by Lobeck It la made an offense to roll a boor or fly a kite on any of the streets or boule vards of the city. The penalty Imposed Is a fine of from $1 to $25. The ordinance excluding street pe.ldler ; from the central business district excepl under special restrictions was Introduced b > Burmcster. The ordinance ordering Jackson street re- paved from Sixteenth to Seventeenth otreel was pcssed and the Board of Public Works vaa Instructed to advertise for bids. Innocent Children Snrrlflceil. The "slaughter of the Innocents" continue until It Is estimated that fully one-fourtb o the human race die before attaining their Ctl birth day , owing In great measure to ou ; rigorous and changeable climate.

Smith , music by Reginald D ; Koven am i others. The theater was packed from pit ti dome with an audience that would have In plred any company of artists to do Iti cst. As the Bostonlans have become habit atcd to fine audiences and to beat efforts t is almost needless to say that their ren orlns of "Robin Hood" was all that couli e desired. Mr. De Koven baa been a stu cnt of the best operatic models ; reminder f "Die Walkure " " " " , "Lohengrin , "Die Mcis erslnEcr" and "Lakme , " give evidence o t : but for all that ho has brought Into ex stenco a work which Is without an equal li ts class.

FOOTPADS AT WORK AGAIN Dentist Olark Is Attacked and Bobbed of His Monajr , LONG AND SHORT MAN TURN A TRICK Robbery Oeenrn. AVIthln Two niockd o | the .Station , Yet Nothing U Done Totvaril ItunnltiR Down the llKhwnyiiion After an Interval of two weeks In which the public mind was allowed to regain a measure of composure the reign of footpade seems once more to have been resumed in Omaha. The attack of highwaymen upon Warren Smith Saturday night was followed Monday night by a similar one upon C. D , Clark , who was seized and robbed 'by ' twc men at Seventeenth and Jackson streets. Mr. Clark is a dentist and also a mcmbci of the Sutorlus Mandolin club , In' which lat ter capacity he' remained down town quite late Monday night. Shortly after 12 o'clock ho was returning to his rooms at 1817 Jack son street and was within a block of home when the Incident occurred. At the cornet of Seventeenth avenue a barn stands close to the sidewalk and around the west cornsi of this was the retreat in which the high' waymen waited. Clark passed the barn with. In reach of their hands and , one of the mer seized him roughly by the coat while the other thrust a revolver In his face. Me wai enjoined to keep still and to hold Up hl < hands , which Instruction ho considered hi was not In a position to disobey. One of th < men went through his pockets and securet all the money ho had , amounting to $3.45. When they decided they could use him n < further the footpads told Mr. Clark to tun about and proceed back down town. This hi was willing to do , as the police station la ; only two blocks away In that direction. IHi says ho Immediately reported the matter ti the police and gave a description of his as sallants. For some reason , however , the po lice officials shut the public out of their con fldcMco and no account of the matter wa given out. The chief of police said last nigh In answer to Inquiry that he knew nothlni whatever of such a robbery having occurred I3AME OLD PAIR. The description obtained by Mr. Clar ] was only a very general one , but was' sufll cicnt to Identify the men with those wh have been making the city their Held dur Ing past months. They were fairly we ! dressed , one wearing a cap and the othc a derby hat. One was short ot stature an the other tall. Clark describes the gu which was rudely thrust In his face as long and shining weapon ot heavy callbei Two men answering this description hav been seen around the same location seven times lately acting in a suspicious niannei Mrs. Lewis , also of 1817 Jackson street , say she observed the same two men In a recea opposite her house apparently waiting fa some one. She was nervous regarding I from the fact that her husband and so would both be obliged to pass their hldin place on their way homo an hour later an she accordingly kept watch for bait an Iiou : when the prowlers took themselves off. Sh says that rough looking men are in th habit of sleeping In the barn back of he house and that a week ago two of thei effected an entrance Into the house ot he neighbor under the plea of examining th gas fittings. They were watched BO closcl that nothing was carried away , but a larg nail fastening was later found wrenche away from a cellar window. A young man from the western part of th state was held up and robbed ot $10 In a most the same spot about a month ago. Thousands of sufferers from grippe hav been restored to health by One Minute Coug Cure. It quickly cures coughs , colds , broti chttls , pneumonia , grippe , asthma and a throat and lung diseases. SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. i On Friday of thla week the work ot raakln the annual assessment will commence. Ui dor the new arrangement an assessor fc each ward was elected last fall , Instead ( having one assessor for the whole city , < was the former custom. The assessors an First ward , Lou Etter ; Second ward , Job Franek ; Third ward , Thomas Condon ; Fourt ward , John Wawrzynkrtwlcz. Each asseeoc will appoint one or more deputies to assli In the work. Assessor Etter of the Fin ward has appointed Sain B. Christie to mdh the real estate assessment In the ward , bi the other assessors havs not as yet announce their deputies. In 189G the assessors returned A valuatlo of $1,684.000 and In 1897 this was Increase to $1.C98,000 on account of the many In provementa made since last April It thought that the assessment this year wl reach the $2.000,000 mark. All of the pacl crs , the stock jardii company and other co poratlons have made tig Improvements ar additions within the last twelve month Whllo the Armour plant will not be con pletcd In time to malte an assessment accori Ing to Its value , enough buildings are * no completed , or nearly GO , to run the valu ; tlon up considerable. The 1897 levy was 44'/ & mills , and It Is e : pected that with a valuation of $2,000,000 tl levy for this year could be reduced at lea 10 mills and prsalbly a-.ore. On tne valuatti mentioned a 30 mill levy would bring In J5 ( 000 , while a levy ot 34 mills , or lO'/i mil leili than last year , would bring In abe $72,000 , or a little more than was reallzi laat year. On account of the rapid grow of the city It may , be thought advisable mokVi A levy of 35 or 36 mills in order allow moro money for flro and police prote tlon and the constantly Increasing expens of the city. It will bo the dutyof the council to me In June for the purpose of fixing the amou of the levy. Out the Vote.

The vote the spring election In 1896 was only 2,7i falling several hundred short ot the reg tratlon At the April election ono year a ,2,373 Votm were ccst and the vote at t election last fall wes 2,480.

If you don't want a shirtwaist for your youngster today you may want it tomorrow or next week or next month. What we want to impress on you is to look for it hero. We have the largest line , the choicest line , the "most money saving line , that over came to Omaha , but of course you'd expect us to eay that anyhow , even if wasn't so. It is so. You will find out after awhile , if you don't already know it , that we never no never put anything in the papers that we can't back up in the store. Speaking of backing things up , we have some more of those nobby little Junior Suits at $1.75 , $2.00 , $2.25 and $2.50 , that went off like wildfire when we first showed them a few weeks since and we told you in the papers at the time that they were better and prettier than some stores sell for double our price , and you found tt so although you didn't believe it when we told you seat at the time. Now is a good time to pick out one of those suits for Easter because there is a chance that if you wait till the last moment you'll find them all gone. It isn't at all likely that they will be all gone today or tomorrow , but then you can't ' tell. They're remarkable value , and unexpected things have hap pened here before now.
