On the first Tuesday In February the
council must solve Iho most ilcllcnto quos-
Mon of the your the size of Iho city lax
l"vy for 1900. Under the 25-mlll levy Im
posed last jear there Is an overdraft In al
most all of the thlrlcon funds. The rev
enue waH apparently Insiimrient to moot the
ni'ual running expenses of the city. The
council thin year will niak tin effort to pro-
vi'lo tnnugh resources to keep the municipal
machine running and at the came tlmo to ndil
no unnecessary weight to the shoulders of
the taxpayers. For the first tloio In the
city history Iho council will this year have
no voice In the levy for school purposes ,
that function being wholly vested In the
Hoard of Kduratloti. The school levy last
liar WHH I ! mills , and several members have
< vprt'tHcil their opinion that an Increase of
1 mill must ha made for 1900 , In view of the
shortage of the yoir Just completed.
comptroller Wostbcrg ban prepared a levy
Rf-hemc which will probably bo used by the
llnai.ro committee of the council In prepar
ing the ordinance. Ills estlmnto of the ox-
lionscs of the dllTorunt departments will re
quire n lety of 2.1 mills , exclusive of the
Fchonl board levy , which will Increase the
t'tal to 28 or 2 ! ) mills. In preparing the
estimate he has not been aided by the re
port H of hcadtt of departments now In the
hands of the ainyor , but Is merely approxi
mating the needs of the different funds as
flio-Mi In the balances or overlaps now re
corded.
DA Ing in the Increased valuation ot the
liro.ient jcar each mill In the levy will pro-
iluro $7SS.1S moro than one year ago. This
Increase In u 25-mlll levy would amount to
nearly $20,000.

J'lOO as In his judgment will bo necessary ,
with the amount available therefrom. The

bers und three honorary members. Removals
and resignations , however , leave the mem-
bershlp but little larger than It WIIB a year

Jubilation , for the re.ison that the cancel
lation of these bonds marked the reduction
of the club's Indebtedness from approxi
mately $75,000 to about $50,000. This reduc
tion was accomplished entirely during the

In speaking of the affairs of the club a
prominent stockholder stated at the close

bers of the Omaha club certainly have good
cause for gratification In the financial affairs
of the organization. Two years ago the club
hail an Indebtedness approaching $80,000 , and
this has now been reduced by about J30.000.
We give much of the credit to the efficient
board of directors which has had charge of
financial affairs. . Of course , we realize that
ono of the principal elements In this Im
proved condition lies in the remarkable Im
provement In business affairs during the
last year or more. The affairs of the Omaha
club were never In bettor shape than at the
present and the future outlook Is certainly
most encouraging. "

! SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
There has been considerable talk lately
about the erection of a viaduct across the
tracks of O street and many people have
been led to believe that the work on this
proposed structure will commence with the
opening of spring. As nearly every ono
knows , buuh a bridge will have to bo built
by the Union Pacific and the Union Stock
Yards company Jointly. Ilcgardlcbs of all
lumors , it can bo stated on authority that
no viaduct across the tracks will be erected
this year. Plans have been drawn and ap
proved for a viaduct , commencing in front
of the Exchange building and ending nt
Tncnty-slxth and O streets , but the con
struction Is yet romoto. When these plans
were drawn the estimated cost was. figured
at fSO.OOO , but with the recent advance in
lion , steel and lumber the cost of such a
structure now will be fully $100,000.
Those In a position to know assert that
no effort will be made In 1000 to erect this
proposed bridge. When the Union Pacific
completes Its grading in the north part of
tint city and lays the additional tracks con
templated and then remodel its passenger
depot , the question of a viaduct may betaken
taken up. When all this work has been com
pleted. which will nut bo for at least a
year , the bridging of the tracks will bo
considered and not lioforo.
A great deal of property on 0 street has
changed hands on the rumors of a viaduct ,
and Bom N street business men are con
siderably worried , but there IB nothing to
the rumors. When the viaduct Is built It
Is as likely to bo constructed across N
stiect as It In on 0 street. The fact that
the approved plans call for O street Is not
seriously considered by the railroad mag
nates , as these can be changed when the
tlmo comes. No vlnduct will bo erected this
year and possibly not next year.

In connection with the requested Improve
ments In street-car service In this city , a
subscriber sends the following queries to
General Manager Smith of the Omaha Street
Hallway company :
"How many times last year did you ride
over your own line to South Omaha ?
"Did it over occur to you thnt you could
Improve the service by maintaining all the
necivtsary electric lamps in the cars ?
"Motorman 47 was shy all lights on the
n'ornlng of January 20.
"Have > ou n car Inspector on the road ?
"Did you Inspect any of these ears last
year , or any year since they were placed
in service ? "
In connection with lights In cars It mav
bo stated that In most of the cars the ma
jority of electric globes are hurnexl out and
a Etnil-darknees prevails. In addition to the
complaints about lights night and morning ,
there Is the flat-wheel problem. Cars have
In-en running on the Sherman avcnuo line
with the flat wheels for months past and
have apparently never been Inspected since
the old horse-car ways.

OMAHA , Jan. 20. To the Editor of The
Bee : Allow mo to say a few words In behalf
of "Love nnd Peace Mission , " 1106 South
Thirteenth street.
The work among the poorer class of our
city which has been carried on by the help
and sympathy of our citizens has ac
complished much good In comparison with
'
the aid received.
This little independent mission gives an.
Idea of the success that may be obtained In
this community if wo can have more de
fenders and helpers to carry on the work.
I publicly profess that I realize this work
belongs to the cltl'/ciiH and that I am pimply
an Instrument for doing tfood. Therefore , I
make an appeal to our intelligent citizens to
give us their helping hands , not only
financially , but their earnest co-operation ,
their attendance , and advice , If ncccbsary.
I also wish to sny I am not handling the
funds of the mission , as wo have Mr. J. II.
Boxton of the First National bank as our
treasurer , who will pay all bills according to
the funds in the ticasury.
This puts upon me the responsibility ot
soliciting sufficient money to enable him to
meet the demands. Therefore , I am taking
a missionary Journey In the Htato for this
purpose. During my absence 1 hope my
friends and these In sympathy with "Love
and Peace Mission" will send their donations
and the monthly subscriptions they hnvo
pledged to Mr. J. II. Ilexton.
I shall also bo pleased If the gospel work
ers will assist our Sunday school superin
tendent , Mr. J. K. Field , if necessary.

DR. McCREW is well known throughout the west ns ono of THE IVIOST
SUCCESSFUL SPECIALISTS in the treatment of ALL DISEASES
AND DISORDERS OF MEN ONLY. 22 YEARS of Unlimited

OltfdAHA Bti : Dr. McOrcw is regarded as the most eminent authority
In the west today on diseases peculiar lo nipn , ho is Justly entitled to this reputation ,
as ho has maJo private dlsordurn of men his special study nnd life work.
CHICAGO TRADE REVIEW ; We do not hesitate to single out Dr.
J. K. McOrew of Omaha , Nebraska , an a specialist fully deserving ot the highest praise.
The fact that diseases of a ptlvnto nature ate his specialties , gives him n decided ad-
vautugo over the general practitioner. Dr. McOrow Is a thoroughly trained physician ,
a donp thinker , a kcon rcusoner , a persistent reader of the literatura of his profession ,
and hence ix wide awake and Intelligent ip clnllst. During our twenty years' experi
ence as a newspaper correspondent we hav not encountered a more thorough , a better
equipped or a more rcllabln specialist than Dr. MeOrow.
