weak.all the time.
They are likely to be despondent

The fact Is their kidneys are weak,

exposure, worry or jother Influences.

Contrary to expectations tho city counoll
t Its meeting last night failed to pass the
ordinance Introduced authorizing the cm-
cago & Northwestern railroad to construct
steel viaduct across the tracks at Thirty-
Ixth street. The ordinance In question was
ead for the first time tort referred to tho
Judiciary committee and there It will rest
for nt least another week. Judge Mont
gomery, representing the Elkhorn, urged
tho necessity for the lmmedlato passago of
the ordinance, as tho railroad company Is
anxious to commence work on the structure
on March 1 In order that grading operations
may be commenced nt the earliest posslblo
moment. Tho delay In this matter, es
pecially after most of the members ot tho
council had agreed to tho passage ot the
ordinance, caused considerable surprise.
Claims for damaegs alleged to have been
caused by smallpox are coming in with a
i..i, i (.i.. inr.nno
regularity which Is surprising. Persons
whoso houses wero used for tho lodgement
t patients are bobbing up with claims for
everything from n padlock to n pair of
tocklngs. Even overcoats nro Included In
some of tho clotms. Two claimants wcro

tlon. Ho rehearsed tho trials and trlbula-
Hons of his clients at considerable length
and when he closed Councilman August
Miller asked to be heard. Mr. Miller Is
chairman of tho charity commltteo and
personally Investigated the claims. Ho
said that ln his opinion some of tho claims
.,., ,.,,., ,,, , i, - j ,, i no I'irsi .Metnouisi i-;piHcnpai cnurcn to
presented were merely attempts to hold up n,Khti areat pro.)urut0'ns i,aVo been mado
tho city treasury. At the request of Presl- for this event. and tho music nromlses to bo
dent Adklns, who occupied the chair, Miller
will make a detailed report to the council
shortly of tho smnllpox cases
County Cleric Havcrly sent ln a commu
nication asking that tho council appoint n

etc. At the suggestion of Johnston a com
mlttce composed of Adklns, Johnston and
Martin was named to attend the conferenco
as representatives ot the city,
Dvorak wanted to havo the fire and
water committee Instructed to purchase a
team of horses and harness for fire hall
No. 3, but as tho motion wns considered too
broad, no maximum price being named, the

for horses and harness
The .council will meet on March 2 and
4 as a board ot equalization for the pur
pose ot equalizing the taxes on sewer dls
trtcts Nos 103, 109 and 110.
At tho suggestion ot Martin the city at
torney will draft an. ordinance providing
for the opening ot Y street from Railroad
avenue across the Union Pacific tracks, and
also across tho Rock Island tracks at
Twenty-fifth street
An expert accountant will bo employed
to check over the books of the city treas
urer and other officials. This Is a regular
annual occurrence.
City Attorney Lambert's opinion as to
the rights ot 'tho council to cancel taxes
was placed on-fllo after reading,
Tho taxes on the property occupied by
tho South Omaha hospital were canceled
as per request ot Mrs. C. L. Talbot, sec
retary of tho association.
Members ot the finance commltteo' will

After a number of washouttl had been or
dered filled and the street commissioner
directed to repair some sidewalks tho coun
cil adjourned for one week
Corrlgan School Accented.
Last night's session of the Doard ot Edu
cation was taken up almost entirely with a
discussion ot tho new Corrlgan school. At
tho regular meeting of tho board held Feb
ruary 4 Contractor Dock notified the board
that he would be ready .to turn the building
over to the district on February IS, and
tho mcotlng last ovcnlng was principally ton
the purpose of considering the matter.
L. A. DavlB.nrchltect for tho board, re
ported that the'bulldlng was complete, with
possibly tho exception ot repairs, which
might amount to $25. Attention, was called
by the architect to the fact that the board
was still Indebted to the contractor In the
sum ot $157 tor extra work and material
furnished.
Member Drennan objected to the charge
made for extras, ascerting Hint the contract
for the building expired on January 8, and
by Us terms the contractor was to pay
the board $10 for each day's delay In the
completion of the structure after that date.
It was finally agreed that the board
would accept tho building nnd pay to the
contractor the sum of $1,800, and upon the
completion ot the repairs suggested by the
architect pay tho remaining $30.
Superintendent Wolfo sent In a request
for 5,000 Information cards and report cards
to be used by tne principal or the High
school. Teachers' examinations will bo
field on June 18, 19 and 20. It is tho lnten
tlon now to close the schools on Juno 14.
Tho board gave Dr. Wolfe leave of ab
sence to attend the National Teachers' as
sociation convention and will pay his ex
penses. The convention meets In Chicago
on February 26.
It was determined to move the old Cor
rlcnn school building to Thlrty-elKhth ami
Harrison streets nnd locate It on land do
nated by the Metropolitan Land and Trust
company.
There will be no school on Washlnson's
birthday.
Tbo committee on buildings will report at
the uext meeting how many rooms of the
proposed Hluh school building; It will be
necessary to construct. It Is expected that
work will commence ou April IS.

Today nulte n number of business men
and a sprinkling of politicians will 'so to
Lincoln to attend a meeting; called by the
committee bavin the South Omaha charter
ln charge. As stated by representatives
TViirn and Hunt on Sunday, quite a num
ber of amendfnents have been made to the
charter as originally drafted, and these
mendments will be discussed. The Ifgls.
latlve commltteo will meet tbe delegations
from the Magic City and endeavor to find
out Just what Is wanted by the people of
this city. The democrats naiurany warn an
election, hllc Mayor Kelly nnd his fol-
lowers think that an election should be
deferred until the terms of the present m-
cumbents expire. There is likely to bo a
lively discussion over this proposition, nut
t0 far nonrof the members of the commit-
teo havo tipped on what tne decision is
to be.
Costello .Niil Kxprrleil ItnrK.
lnveatlratlon reveals tho fact that Tom
Costello, tho bartender employed at Jim
Tlvonkp.'s saloon, Twenty-sixth and N
sttects, will hardly be expected to return
to South Omaha of his own volition. In
looking Into the matter It was found that
Costello left an unpaid board bill of MO
behind him. and It Is now almost certain
that ho has deenmped. At first friends
thought that Costello was merely sleeping
uom ine cuecis 01 liquor, 0111 a srium
failed to reveal his whereabouts. Tlvonka
Is out about $250.
