* 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.
The Hackmcn'a union petitioned the cou
ell to Increase the annual license fee frc
$10 to $50 , and were referred to the cor
tnlttee on Ore , water and police.

Comptroller Westberg'n statement of the

. . .AMUSEMENTST J
Last evening at Doyd's theater the Bos-
tonlans gave a splendid performance of thi
light opera , "Robin Hood , " libretto by Harrj
B. 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 " " " "

ilause. Miss Alice Ncllson as Maid Marlai

x'able impression as Annabel. Baimabee a

he part an individuality peculiarly ita owt
rothlngham as Friar Tuck afforded no en
ot amusement ; William Phllp appeared t
greater advantage than , in the "Serenade
and MacDonald generated considerable thin

disappointed some of his admirers * by omit

FOOTPADS AT WORK AGAIN

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.

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 largo Increase In the population sin
the election last fall Is causing conslderat
speculation among political managers a :
candidates. According to the regtstratt
books of two yeM ago the population
that time 'was divided between the follqwl
nationalities : Americana , 1.S01 ; Irish , 31
German. 354 ; Bohemian. 297 ; Sweden , 1 !
Denmark , IOC ; Austria , 54 ; Poland , 29 ; En
land , ; 53 ; Canada , 62 ; Scotland , 28 ; Norws
28 ; Hussli , 11 ; Switzerland , 15 ; other cou
trloa , 31. This makes a total ot 3,313 vote
who registered two years ago. 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. It Is ertlmat
by thcso who have looked over the sltuatl
that- the vote next Tuesday will be clotw
3,300.

It appears that the delay In starting we

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.
