PAVEMENT PAY PROPOSITION HELD UP
Vacating of Olil Cnnntr Hoads tn

Provision Made ,n Par
a Judgment,
At Tuesday night' meeting tho city coun
ell unanimously sustained a veto of Mayor
Moores destroying that clause In au appro
prlntlon ordinance providing for the pay
mont of 7.000 to tho Grant Paving com
pany for Its recent Inborn In repairing holes
In the pavement on Sixteenth and other
streets,
At the preceding aicetlng of tho council
the ordinance which was tho Innocent cause
of tho alfllculty was passed. This measure,
providing for tho payment oLmany bills,
was amended to include tho cancellation of
this $7,000 paving debt, It being specified
that the amount should come from the curb,
gutter and paving fund. At that tlruo
Comptroller Westbcrg reported offhand,
when questioned, that there was sufficient
In this fund to cover the sum, so the matter
went through oh wings.
But when the comptroller later got down
lairs In his office, where the figures were,
he discovered that $443 had Just been paid
out of the fund for Interest on outstanding
warrants. lie had forgotten this Item, and
It was enough to cut tho balance down to
Jj5,685.!iO, several hundred dollars less than
the bill paid.
Mr. Westbcrg at once notified Mayor
Moores and tho veto of! Tuesday night re
sulted. So tho Orant raving company will
not now get Its money through the regular
channels of the city's business till the mat
ter can bo run through on another appro
priation, Rrennil Veto Sustained.
A second veto waa sustained, though by a
close vote. This ono operated to annul tho
ordinance passed at the prevloun meeting
which vacated the old county road known
as "R-50," running north out of Omaha.
Mayor Moores said that this attempt was
chiefly to pleaso the Union Pacific Railway
company, and that railway already had sev
eral other similar matter beforo the coun
cil which were still unsettled.
Councilman llascall differed from this
veto, saying that tho city was trying to
eettlo with tho Union Pacific all land differ
aaces, and get all titles quieted. In this
case, said he, tho road has given an ado
qua to equivalent, and tho title of the prop
erty constituting the road was of moHt
doubtful and ahady origin, anyway. Thrco
other members held with Mr. Hnscnll, but
although Messrs. Ifoye and Lobeck wero ab
sent the combined strength of tho opposi
tion was not sufficient to carry tho measure
over the veto.
In concurrence with a recommendation
of the park commissioners that tho claim
should bo allowed, it was voted to give J.
Lcvorton $100 from tho general fund as
payment for a horso of his which was killed
whlio working at Miller park.
Repavtng of Tweuty-sccond streot from
Dewey to St. Mary's avenue will bo resumed.
The council adopted tho report of the Ju
diciary committee, which looked up the
flaw In tho petition, and recommended tho
continuation of the work.
An ordinance providing for the repaying
ot Harney street between Fifteenth and
Twentieth streets, with the exception of tho
Sixteenth street intersection, was passed
on third reading. Asphalt will be used.
' Provision to Pay JndKnirnt,
Provision was made foe paying tho Judg
ment ot Alfred T. Richardson against the
city for sewer construction done In 1891.
The Judgment and Interest amount to
$4,015.10. Of this $3,897.37 will bo paid by
tho levy provided tor by a Bpcclal ordinance
The balance ot $1,017.73 will be taken from
the general fund.
According to n report submitted to the
council the repaying district on Twonty
elghth street from Fnrnarn to Leavenworth
street Is now ready for business, as a ma
jority of tho frontage has been secured in
signatures. The total trontago is 3,172.6.
Nardes representing 1,925 feet of this are on
the petition and this leaves a margin of
138.7 rver tho majority.
The vitrified brick paving on Howard
street from Twentieth to a point 280 feet
west, having proved satisfactory under the.
one-year guaranty, the council voted to
allow the contractor, W. P. Muraaugh, the
35 per cent reserve retained. This amounts
to $281.91.
By a unanimous vote tho Union Pacific
mad Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Railroad
companies were' granted a time extension
of one month In which to finish the Twenty
fourth street viaduct. This sets the limit
at November 1. The railroads excused tho
delay by stating that difficulty had been
experienced In getting tho material. a
' The council will hold a special session
at' 10 o'clock Friday morning to pass tho
salary appropriation ordinance.

MARKET HOUSE PROPOSITION
Prlvntc G'uniinn- Plniinliiu to Kx
Inlillalt Immense Mar
ket Place.
A company of business mon of this city,
representing a large aggregate of capital, is
planning to establish a mnrket place In
Omaha and erect buildings thereon at a
total cost of not to exceed $100,000.
This Information created a considerable
stir among councllmcn. who learned It for
tho first time yesterday morning. Coming as
It did on the evo of the time when they were
10 consider the ordinance providing for va
eating tho proposed elte.on Jackson street
tho news enhanced to a great degreo tho
excitement already In tho wind over that
move.
Organization of tho corporation which
would build and conduct tho market place
Is not complete. It it were, tho proposition
would havo been broached to tho city long
ago, but as matters stand It Is not ex
pected that any formal communication will
reach the council for several days.
Ono moro week still remains before tho
council can do anything final In re
gard to a publicly owned market, and
tho prlvato parties who aro engineering
the couutor-proposltlon will use all the
tlmo they can get. Names of the chief
promoters aro known, but till thoy make a
move toward tho council In earnest of the
fact that their planR havo carried success
fully members ot the council do not cars
to disclose their Identity.
Tho scheme, as outlined, Is distinctly a
business investment. Tho organization
plans to own the site and to own the
buildings, which are intended to bo vast
aad adequato In every particular. Then
regular rentals will be charged for tho use
of spaco and stalls. "Tho cost of the en
tlro thing might not exceed $200,000." said
one of tho leaders, "but It will probably
go much higher than that."
Councllmcn find many flaws In the scheme.
In tho first place, It will bo beyond them,
for they hBVo sot tho power to bestow uoon
this organization tho necessary franchise.
That must bo dono, under the present char
ter, by a voto of the people. This will
delay tho work and hinder tho completion
of tho market considerably.
Then most of the aldermen agrco that If
owned by a private concern tho rentals
which tho people who use tho markot will
be compollcd to pay will bo on a scalo con
siderably higher than that which tho city
would establish wero It conducting tho
place.
On the other hand, It Is urged that if
these parties get the franchise thoy will
hustle the work and finish it Immediately,
so that Omaha will havo a flno market
much sooner after all than tho city can pos
sibly get It. Tho plan of tho council Is to
buy tho stto now and then erect merely
temporary stalls for a year or so, postpon
ing tho building of the permanent market
till thcro Is somo money with which to
do It.
The ordinance relative to tho market
place, which Mr. Ilnscall Introduced last
night at tho council meeting, was pro
pared by City Attorney Connoll and reads
as follows:
An ordinance declaring the necessity of
appropriating certain prlvato property and
lots for tho use of the city ot Omaha for
market places and providing for tho ap
pointment of three disinterested free
holders of said city to assess and deter
mlno the damage to the owners respect
ively ot tho property and lots taken by
such appropriation.
Bo It ordained by the city council ot tho
city of Omaha:

SHY AT THE NEW YORK FISCAL AGENCY
City's Neglect In Providing for Pay
ment of Interest nnd Legal Com
plications Make Eastern tlonri
flayers Wnry City .rrs.
City Treasurer Koutsky 14 worried over
the present condition ot the city's finances.
There is due at the state fiscal agency In
New York on November 1 $17,000, and all
that the city can send at this time Is $6,000
tnken from the Interest fund. An effort
was mado a fow days ago to borrow money
from the banks to meet this obligation, but
ns the council has neglected to provide a
sinking fund the- banks have declined and
so the maturing bonds will havo to go by
default.
It Is true that the maturities up to No
vember 1 have been Included In the bond
Issue recently authorized, but as the bonds
have not been sold there Is, consequently,
no revenue from this source.
An effort was made some time ago to sell
these securities, but as no bidders re
sponded the council appointed a committee
to see what could bo done with tho Issuo
at private sale. Several bond buyers havo
been approached, but without result. The
city Is desirous of securing a premium, but
this is out of the question now. Somo of
tho city officers aro willing to let tho bonds
go at par, but still there are no takers. By
deducting $6,000 from the Interest fund at
this time there remains only a llttlo ovor
$2,000 with which to pay Interest for the
coming eight months.
Eastern buycrB have declined to purchase
tho bonds on account of tho city's neglect
In providing for payments on coupons when
duo nnd becauso of tho legal complications.
A majority of the issuo Is for Improvement
districts which have been declared Illegal
by the courts. These bonds tho city now
wants to take up with general Indebtedness
bonds, but oven these do not sell.
Moro than likely a special meeting of tho
finance committee will bo held this week
to consider this matter.
This Market Popular.
Tbero was another big run of sheep at
the ynrds yesterday. On Monday nearly
20,000 head arrived and were sold rapidly
and yesterday 15,000 head were yarded.
Tho shipments were snapped up by buyers

Packers aro bidding good prices for sheep
Just now and from Indications the supply
will bo kept up for Borne time to como.
Shippers aro entirely satisfied with tho
prices paid and tho treatment accorded by
Btock yard managers nnd commission men.
Viaduct Vfill He Ilullt.
"It's nil right," said an officer ot the
Union Stock Yards company yesterday, "to
talk about dope factories and so forth, but
the fact remains that tho question of build
ing a viaduct across tho tracks to the stock
yards Is now being seriously considered.
Just when tho work will commonco cannot
bo stated at this time, but from present
Indications It wilt not bo long beforo some
definite Information on tho subject will be
made public."
More than this, it is understood that the
Hammond people are Insisting that a via
duct ot somo sort be constructed in order
that their facilities for handling meats
may be Increased.
Official lied Tnpc.
Owing to the red tape now necessary to
secure an order for -supplies needed the
city clerk has been compelled to write out
death certificate blanks on a typewriter.
Tho same thing is being done with regis
tration rolls. Under the recent ruling of
the council all requisitions for printing
must now be mado by heads ot departments
and read to the council. Tho requisition Is
then referred to tho printing committee
and all orders for stationery must be
signed by two mombers of the committee
and then reported back to the council. As
tho clerk's supply of the blanks mentioned
Is exhausted, the typewriter has been
called into requisition. This state of af
fairs will 'keep up until the .council gets
ready to order tho blanks needed.
Rowdies Destroy Property.
Complaint was made to Mayor Kelly yes
terday that rowdies persist In loafing about
the school building at Twentieth and L
streets. Monday rflght a gang of twenty or
more loafers broke in the door of the
school and toro up a number ot books. Tho
mayor assorted that he would station an
officer In that vicinity tor a tlmo and en
deavor to break up the gang.
Itaciinet Store Closes.
Yesterday forenoon J. L. Barnott, pro
prietor of the Racquet store, at 2410 N

tice to the effect that the stock Was In
charge ot the United States district court.
It Is understood that Mr. Barnott has made
an application to be declared a bankrupt
by the court.
Hammond- Continue Busy.
Yesterday the Hammond company com
menced shipping beef to Chicago, and it is
expected that this will continue tor some
tlmo to come. On tho first day the plant

The Joint meeting 'of the Oerraan-Amer-Ican
R?publlcan club, the South Side Re
publican club and the Second Ward Repub
lican club, hbld Tuesday night in Krug's
hall, 1S36 Vinton street, was well attended.
Representative speakers discussed all
phases of republicanism. Councilman Fred
Hoye presided. ,
Candidates Battln, Prlchard, Edqulst,
Hunter, Vlnsonhalcr, Unltt and Derka
opened tho meeting with short speeches,
which were welt received.
County Commissioner Henry Ostrora pre
sented facts and figures showing why tho
affairs of tho county should be again placed
under republican control. "During the last
flvo years," said he, "I havo been a mem
ber of tho county board, tho first two years
being with a republican majority. Until
throo jears ago the county funds were suf
ficient to pay everything tho county owed
to within a month or so of the close of the
fiscal year. Now the county Is compelled
to stop paymont in August, several months
beforo the close of tho fiscal year, and Issuo
Interest-bearing warrants. It would tako
not less than $125,000 to place the county
treasury In tho same condition It was three
years ago, beforo the democrats raided It.
"The road fund was practically exhausted
In July and tho money has gone to keep
gangs at work In various precincts for the
political purposes or tno democrats. There
aro a great many of these small gangs, each
bossod by a man who gets $4 a day for doing
nothing.
"At tho present time there is not a fund.
with the single exception ot the bridge
fund, from which a dollar can be paid for
work performed. Tho condition Is such that
next year's levy Is exhausted before It Is
even made. The payment ot all salaries will
havo to be stopped January 1 or not later
than February 1.
"You will rcaljze what democratic extra
vagance is when you are called upon In the
near future to vote for $125,000 or $150,000
of funding bonds."
Fred Brunlng, candidate for county com
missioner tn tho Second district, was next
Introduced, Ho said he would do what he
could, tf elected, to clear away the demo
cratic wreck, but could not promise to undo
all tho damage they had done In one short
terra.
Judge Baker made one of bis characteris
tic speeches, which was heartily applauded.
In referring to a recent newspaper criticism
he said: "They say it's bad for Judges to
talk politics. Perhaps It Is, but I believe
that when I'm on the bench, at least, I can
and do disregard politics absolutely. I've
sent a great 'many fellows to the peni
tentiary. It may be that they were demo
cratsI'm sure I don't know but perhaps
that's the roason for theso attacks. A man
has a right to tell tho reason for the faltti
that is in him, and I propose to do so re
gardless of criticisms from such sources as
these."
Judge Estclle followed and said: "There
has been some criticism about certain
Judges dragging the Judicial ermine in the
mud of politics. I disbelieve Just as much
as anyone In doing that. It cannot be Bald
and I hope It may never be said of me that
I uso my Judicial position for political pur
poses. I earned my right to talk to tho
people on public questions In '62 and I pro
pose to talk whenever and wherever I
please. As long as republicanism appeals
to me as It docs now and always has I pro
pose to talk republicanism. I am a repub
lican because the history of the country
shows that tho republican party has 'been
the advance guard of civilization and pros
perity. The democratic party is Just ten
yea'Ts behind the times."
A. 0. Troup nnd Candidates Bodwell, Alt
stadt, Homan, Stelger and Christie also
spoke.
Simply Dlsonss ReRlstrallan.
A number of Eighth ward republicans

Can'tcure an incurable disease. Nor can
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. But it has cured a
great many most desperate cases, chronic
cases, such cases as no other medicine in the
world touches.
The next time you talk with your doctor
ask him if knows of any other cough medicine
that so quickly cures colds and coughs, even
the hardest kind of lung troubles. He will
give you an honest answer. Abide by it.
"I was given tip to die with quick consumption. I rapidly lost In weight
from 138 to 68 pounds. I had repeated hemorrhages, and at Ut went to bed
never expecting to get up. I then tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and in nine
months I had regained my old weight and was a well man agam."
