SELLS THE FUNDING BONDS
City Finds a Purchaser for the Entire Isano
at Good Price.

Laval Kmbarraimment.
The $300,000 funding hands that were Is-
ued by the city some time ago and were
afterward hung up on account of the "pos
tage stamp" of an alleged New York firm
of brokers that afterward failed to accept
the bonds have been practically sold to
Epltzcr & Co. of Toledo and the arrange
ments for thij transfer of the bonds will
probably bo made within the next forty-
eight hours. W. A. Barnctt , the traveling
representative of the Toledo house , put In
the third bcdt bid at the time the bonds
were originally advertised. At that time
his Instructions authorized n materially bet
ter bid until a few minutes before the bids
were opened , when n telegram from the
firm cut down his limit on account of the
war scare. Since Bernard Tintrman & Co.
backed out of their proposition Mr. Bar
nctt has been In Omaha several times to
Investigate the character of the bonds , and
the result was a formal offer to accept the
bonds at par and pay a premium of $3.350.
The proposition was submitted to the city
council In an executive session held yes
terday afternoon and that body promptly
decided to accpt It. The bid
Is slightly better than the ono that was
previously submitted by Spitzer & Co. , and
Is regarded as a very satisfactory figure for
the bonds. The bonds bear only 4 per cent
Interest , and In view of the difficulty of
floating even C per cent bonds at this time
the council decided to accept the proposi
tion If It can legally be arranged. The mat
ter will como up at the regular council
meeting tonight , when a resolution will
probably bo adopted Instructing the city
treasurer to accept the proposition and turn
over the bonds.
The disposition of the funding bonds will
relieve the city from a very embarrassing
situation and also accommodate a largo
number of Its creditors who have been
waiting since 1S97 for the sale of the bonds.
A largo amount of the floating Indebtedness
of 1897 has been held to be taken up by
the proceeds of these bonds. Salailcs of
city officials for 1897 arc still unpaid to the
nmount of $8,787.39. Salaries of members
of the fire department , aggregating $4G08.72 ,
and ex-members of the police
department , amounting to $12-
014,01 , are on the same list. It also in
cludes the entire bills of the Omaha Water
company for 1897 , amounting to $87,040 , and
lighting bills to the amount of $42,858.83.
The bills of the Barber Asphalt company
for street repairs and a large aggregate
of miscellaneous claims are also unpaid
pending the disposal of the bonds. At the
beginning of 1898 the council ordered the
comptroller to start with a clean ledger In
order to get rid of the Incubus of overlaps
that has been a financial embarrassment for
the past five years. At the same time ar
rangements were made to take up all pend
ing Indebtedness by the funding bond Issue.
The delay In the sale of the bonds has kept
these bills on file until this time and there
is general rejoicing In the city hall that
tbo matter has finally been adjusted.

An Aid to n I'rnper Undernlnndlnic of
the Situation.
The war with Spain , so far resulting In
the brilliant victory ot Admiral Dcwcy In
Manila bay , has centered public Interest
upon thu United States n.tvy. This great
naval battle , which addc another name to
the list of naval heroes and demonstrated
the cfllclency of American seamanship , was
chiefly Important as affording the first real
test of the lighting qualities of modern war
ships , equipped with high-power guns.
Undoubtedly one of the results of our war
with Spain will bo the completion ot a navy
that will command the admiration and re
spect of the world. While our national pol
icy has always been a peaceful one , the
government now recognizes , as never be-
lore , the necessity of being always prepared -
pared for any exigency that may arise ,
while our foreign Interests demand that
European nations respect nnd recognize us
as a power able to uphold Its rights and
enforce ltd Just demands.
The appropriation of "Millions for do-
fcnso" Wlfl be followed by the construction
of other vcssscls equipped with the deadly
llest and most effective engines of destruc
tion. It has been said that the Krupp gua
Is the forerunner of the "Era of good-will. "
A powerful defensive force means "Not HIP
big wars that make ambitious virtue , " b-.it
Peace.
You have thought much on the subject ! )
outlined above since the commencement of
hostilities , and you will continue to think
of them no matter bow long or ho'.v
short the present war may prove to be ,
You want to understand what you read , and
you wish to have the situation well In hand.
All good citizens feel this way , all are
anxious to pursue the course of events
underetandlngly and Intelligently.
In o way can you accomplish this more
speedily nnd satisfactorily than by the pur-
chnso of n copy of the book entitled "The
Ofllclal 1'hotographs of the United States
Navy , " Issued by The Omaha Dee. It costs
only 25 cents and Is on sale at the counting
rooms of the paper or nlll bo sent by mall
to any address on receipt of the price.
A full description ol this work 01 i roin-
plcto mention of Its merits Is Impossible
within the scope of this article. It opens
with a folder mnp , sixteen times tup size
of the book ItFplf. on ono side oi which
Is shown the Spanish possessions In th
East Indies , with all contiguous territory ,
nnd on the reverse side the West Indian
possessions arc similarly treated. These
maps are authentic nnd faithfully give all
of the details that may be desired In any
event.
Then follow about 200 views of naval sub
jects , made by E. H. Hart , naval photogra
pher , all true likenesses of the subjects
treated. The scope of the views Is coinci
dent with naval .life and affairs , nil ot the
most Important features being treated. Bat
tle ships , cruisers , rams , torpedo boats ,
torpedo boat destroyers , armaments , equip
ments , ammunition , In short you could
scarce name a feature of naval life that Is
not set forth.
In addition to the views of the ships their
cost , size , displacement , armament , power ,
date of launching every matter of Interest
Is given , nnd many of the Spanish ships are
similarly treated. One feature of Intense
Interest , nnd ono that Is well worth the price
of the book , Is a set of twenty views of the
Ill-fated Maine , some of which were taken
before nnd some after the explosion.
The course of The Omaha Bee In placing
before the general public this valuable and
timely work Is to be highly commended. It
enables everyone In possession of the book
to thoroughly understand the naval side of
this conflict that Is making history every
day , nnd Is destined to very probably change
the destiny of more than ono nation.
As the edition Is limited It behooves every
one to procure n copy of this book before the
supply Is exhausted. Thousands have al
ready secured copies , and when one remem
bers that the cost Is but 23 cents there will
be no excuse for not being provided with this
indispensable adjunct to a proper under
standing of the events ot these stirring
days.

The greatest function that has happened
so far In the assuredly eventful reign of
King Ak-Sar Ben IV was that which trans
pired within the spacious Len ) of the king
last evening. It was an excessively cosmo
politan affair and though different nations
and peoples were represented they all looked
alike to his majesty and were treated with
that peculiarly touching cordiality that la
concomitant with all of Ak-Sar-Ben's re
ceptions.
Some two score of candidates from Omaha
and adjacent cities presented themselves
before the throne nnd submissively applied
for admission to the royal court of the fa
mous monarch. All their requests were
granted , after some deliberation of the king
nnd bis advisers , though It was first neces
sary for a number of the candidates to take
out naturalization papers.
Acldc from the Initiation of so large a
body ot subjects and the splendid showing
ot strength made by the followers of the
king , there was unusual Interest attached
to the occasion because of the presence of
a number of representatives of the Streets
of All Nations. They were on hand bright
and early with their camels and many a
poor candidate sincerely wished that they
had left their camels on the exposition
grounds. Hilarious rides on the camels ,
tests and ordeals that defy dtscrlptlon , good-
natured guying In n mixture of tongues that
would have made the keepers of the Babel
Tower real Jealous , all helped to make up
an entertainment that the forty wise1 men
who visited King Ak-Sor-Ben IV for the
first time last evening will long remember
as one of the eventful nights In their careers.
Refreshments were liberally served at thu
conclusion of the Initiatory proceedings.

"All the talk about the Indians being dis

the absence of the regular army from west
ern posts Is without foundation , " said I. I.
Goldsmith , who Is In Omaha after n trip

Rosebud and Pine Ridge agencies and every
thing Is quiet there and none of the set
tlers seem alarmed about the situation. At
no time since the troops left have the Indi
ans given any signs of approaching trouble ,
but for safety a few militiamen have been
put near some of the reservations and theio
is no reason to believe that an Indian out

Alterative and Tonic. Acts directly on the
stomach , liver and kldneje , purities the blood ,

Tlioro are serges and serges. You can buy a serge
Buit tlmt will be a thing of beauty and a joy aa long
as you wear it , and you can buy one that will turn
red with the first outing , and shrink several sixes
with the first shower of rain. A poor serge is not
cheap at any price. The Nebraska for years has
made a specialty of good serges at a low price , and
this year one of the best things we have to oiler is a
prime worsted serge at G.OO. It is good. It will
hold its color and its shape , and it is one of the best
serge offerings we have ever shown. Today you can
find an abundance of these splendid suits on our second
end floor , but it wouldn't bo safe to put off seeing
them very long if this warm spell keeps up any
length of time. These are not the cheapest serge
suits we have , nor are they the best , but they are in
many ways the best values in our entire line. You
should make it your business to see them.
