The proposition to the Burlington and Union I'aclflc roads which the council started to work en late Krlday afternoon was finished yesterday nnd sent to the heads of the roads for their consideration. It Is the result of the deliberations of the council and the attorneys for the roads yes terday afternoon In the council chamber and contains some modifications of the proposi tion the roads submitted. The conditions Imposed by It on the roads are In brief as follows : To maintain , pave , light and otherwise euro for the subways at Seventh , Thirteenth , Fourteenth and Twentieth streets. To construct the Sixteenth street viaduct according to the plans prepared by the city engineer by January 1 , 1S09 , and forever thereafter maintain It. To construct a viaduct on Twenty-fourth street between Hickory and a point 100 feet more or less south of the tracks of the right- of-way of the B. & M. during the year 1900 , according to plans made by the city engi neer and approved by the council , the via duct to bo completed by January 1 , 1901. To construct a subway on Bancroft street thirty feet wide , with a headway of twelve feet In the clear , when required to do so by the city.

To provide all necessary lights and watch men nt all grade crosslngn. The council and mayor to bo the arbiters between the ro.ids when they cannot appor- tlon the expense satisfactorily themselves. ConucNNloiiN from ( he C'llv. In return for the above concessions on the part of the roads the city agrees to do certain tlilngsi as follows : To amend the ordinance of 1S76 so as to relieve the Union Pacific from the necessity of maintaining an open roadway across its right of way near Sixth street. Not to seek to reopen any street between Seventeenth nnd Twentieth , Twentieth and Twenty-fourth , Twenty-fourth and Bancroft , or Bancroft and Boulevard.

The material points In which the above proposition differs from thnt submitted by the roads are the tlmo limits on the con struction of viaducts or subways at Ban croft and Twenty-fourth streets and the ref erence to the claims of the city against the roads for lighting viaducts In the past. No mention is made of the claims. W. M , Gallagher ot Bryan , t-n. , says : "For forty years I have tried various cough medi cines. One Minute Cough Cure Is best of * JI.

The next time Samuel 'Harding ' wants to catch the thief who has acquired the per nicious habit of robbing his junk shop he will not attempt 'to compound the crlmo by .getting another to join In the theft. The , 'trial ' of John Drown , charged with burglar izing a box car containing Junk belonging < o Harding , occurred Saturday afternoon In po lice court. Hrown and Hablnowitz were the defendants , but 'the latter < lld not go to trial. Detectives Drummy and Mitchell testified that on the night of Juno 1 'they caught the two defendants breaking into a car on the track on Twenty-second street , between Iznrd and Nicholas. They had a lot of brass nnd copper In their wagon at the time of the arrest. Harding spoiled the -whole case when he went on the stand. Ho said that Brown came to him a few days before Juno 1 and told him that Rnblnonrltz had tried to Induce him to assist In robbing a junk car.

Many people suffer the pain , annoyance and other serious results from plies for years , and after trying the many lotions , salves , ointments nnd the many so-called cures without cure or relief , give up the hope of final cure rather than submit to the Intense pain and danger which a surglcaf operation Involves , Happily all this suffering IB no lontrer necessary since the discovery of the Pvia- mld Pile Cure , a remedy which Is approved by the medical profesVon as bclug abso lutely safe , free frora any trace of opiates , narcotic or mineral poisons and which may be depended upon as n sure- euro ( not cnl ) relief ) for any form of plus , whether Ii ch ins , blind , bleeding or i > ratrudln ; . tome of the hundreds of cu."s recently made are Tittle short of marvelous , as a perusal of the following will demonat-aio.

" The Pyramid Pile Cure may be found at druggists at 50 cents and $1.00 pur package.

On the artornoon of June 1 Drown told him that the robbery was to bo perpetrated that night. The witness said that he would have officers en hand to arrest the two. At first Hrown demurred , but finally ho agreed to continue In the deal. They were arrested and locked up. Hard- Ing said this was done for the purpose of apprehending Rablnowltz , whom he believed to have been the thief who robbed the office a short time ago. The attorney for the defense moved a dis missal of the case and It was accordingly done , as the court held that a man could not consent to have his own house robbed. Hablnowltz was also discharged.

The much talked of election of public school prlnclpafs and teachers is scheduled to come off at the board race-ting Monday night. From n. reliable source it may be stated that the alarmist reports of wholesale decapita tions will not materialize. "As n matter of fact , " says a.well known man who Is close to the Inside , "there ivlll bo fewer changes In the teaching force this year than In any recent year previously. If you remember , only two Janltorshlp changes were effected by the present board , whllo last year there were several times that many changes. A year ago the kinder garten force was practically revolutionized and nosmallnumber of principals and tcacti- ers dropped out. The present board la actIng - Ing on more conservative lines than any ol Its predecessors nnd those who have been let to expect radical action in the makeup of the teachers' list are doomed to disappoint ment.

Yesterday produced the heaviest single day vote since the beginning of The Bee's Popular Olrl Vote Contest , Indicating the strong Interest already developed nnd the special Interest aroused In the Uoston Store offer of four superb parasols to the second four In the list at the close of the week. It lias been a hard fought battle as the figures In the final vote testify ten partici pants , Including the winners , coming out In the 6,000 rank , The winner of the first prize , Miss Addle Palmer of the W. U. Bennett Co. , drew heavily on her reserve votes , rising from 4,632 to 6,745 nnd may well bo charged with having carried the parasol up her sleeve. It Is a magnificent sun shade valued at $30 and for the benefit of all who desire to see It to good advantage Is to be carried on Itio stage at the Orpheum by Miss Bmtna Cains nt the matinee and evening per formances today. A remarkable Incident In the race for parasols Is the winning of the second prize by Miss Ada Talmuge of M. E. Smith & Co. without changing the position occupied on the previous day. Miss Alma Llndqulst of M. E. Smith & Co. and Miss Grace E. Ounnell of Sherman & McConncll are both participants quite new In the upper ranks and have won third and fourth prizes respectively , coming forward In tlio race as dark horses. Misses Sunderland and Rablnowltz both missed their parasols by casting a heavier vote than called for , whllo Misses Ocumpaugh , Donner , Ilehfeld and I Hedgers went to the extreme of caution In ) not" casting sufilclently large a vote. An other notable feature Is the fact that not ono of the successful contestants In the Orpheum free box award managed to dupll- ate their success In tills Instance.

The reso- ' lutlon appointing D. J. Fltzpatrlck , Intro- i duced at a previous meeting and referred to the committee on court house and Jail , was taken from that committee's hands. Hector then Introduced a resolution Appointing Dee , which was adopted by a party vote. Ho said ihe services of Superintendent Houck had been eminently satisfactory , but to the vic tors belonged the spoils. ! Ostrorn introduced a resolution rescinding the ono passed heretofore , creating a department - I partment of auditing separate from the ' clerk's office and dispensing with the serv ices of the present auditing clerks. Ho urged that the new department should not be cre ated , especially at the present time , as It would add to the expenses of the county offices at least $150 per month , and would seriously Impair its elilclency for months to come. He would bo unwilling , ho said , to put his name to claims which had been audited by men who had had no experience in ex amining accounts. His resolution was de feated , receiving only bis vote and that of Harte. The employes of the auditing department were then appointed. Harry P.
