An adjourned meeting of tho city coun cil was held yesterday afternoon and two ordinances of considerable Importance were passed. Ono was tho ordlnanco Introduced Monday night providing for the Issuing of renewal bonds In the sum of U10.S80. This amount Includes the overdue bonds on Im provement districts for 1901 and the cntlro maturities for 1902. Tho bonds will run for ten years and will draw 6 per cent In terest. Through the efforts of tho finance committee this Issue has been sold to 'Spllzor & Co. of Toledo, 0. This firm agroes to have tho platca of tho bonds lithographed and will forward the same to tho city om .clals for signature. Hy having tho Toledo firm draw tho form of tho bonds tho cltv will avoid delay, an In tho past bond buyers liavo frequently caused bonds to bo sent back for n Quango In the form and wording. With this lssuo the city authorities will be relieved of all worry about taking up bonds on Improvement districts which are maturing monthly and will nvc tho expense of borrowing nioney to pay Interest cou pons. There will bo a saving of 1 per cent on this Issue, as tho bonds to bo renewed aro now drawing 7 per cent, while the com ing Issue will draw only 6 per cent. It Is expected that by this action the credit of the city will be firmly established again In tho financial world. The library ordlnanco was passed the fame an was tho bond ordinance, each bolng read tho second arid third time by title. Mayor Kolly assorted that ho would sign both ordinances and havo them sent to the printer at mice.

There soems to bo n disposition among seme of tho members of tho council to cut out the women entirely and elect nine men. Thin will hardly be dono at this time, as tho mayor has virtually pledged himself to namo four women on tho board. Tho coun cil will, however, elect flvo men and thon as soon as vacancies occur fill tho places with men. While tho ordlnanco provides that the terms of mombcrs shall expire on July 1 In one, two and three years, there Is no objection to tho board being organised at once and proceeding with tho business In hand.

Tho sergeant sized up the children and Inferred that In that event alt three must have been born on the road, as the eldest appeared about 8 years of age. He made known his observation.

On ono dt the frosty mornings last week a Cass street school boy vanquished his brother In the usual morning dressing raco and rushed out of doors to enjoy a brief play hour beforo breakfast. He skipped down tho stone walk that led to the street and at tho gate noticed that the Iron fence was thickly coated with clean white frost. Tho boy hadn't stopped for n drink of water In the house, so he was thirsty, and besides, tho'frost looked Inviting for other reasons. In a Jiffy ho had laid his tonguo lovingly along the side of one of tho pointed spikes, and tho next moment he was almoU paralyzed with paln and surprise. Tho tongue would not come off. Moreover, hla first Involuntary Jerk completely flayed the part that was freed and the pain was In tense, After some sucking aud a little more, heroic Jerking the boy got away, leaving n good sized patch of skin on the Iron. His tosgue was rather sore, but ho decided after a moment that It did not hurt so badly attor all and that It he told It Willy would have a Joko on him, while U hi THE OMAHA DAIIY BEE: "WEOXESPAY, IMPLEMENT MEN IN SESSION : Aftir Apptlntmut tf Otmmltttfli, Gti Ttitim Afjonrni for tbt Dtj.
