Effort to Sell Overlap Bonds Aga n Prove
a Failure.
NO BIDS FOR THE ISSUE ARE RECEIVED
One Dealer Explain to Council Ob
jection to the Bonds, bnt Makes
Ko Offer to Pnrrhase the
Issue.
A special meeting of the city council was
held last night for the express purpose of
receiving bids for the $70,0110 overlap bonds.
Much to the disappointment of the coun
cil and others a well who have claims
against the city, not a single bid was re
ceived. From the number of Inquiries
City Clerk Shrlgley had during the week
it was Inferred that there would be not
less than three bidders on the ground and
possibly four.
When the council became aware of the
fact that no bids were to be made, Welsh
moved that the finance committee be
authorized to dispose of the bonds at pri
vate sale at the best possible advantage
to the city. This motion prevailed.
F. N. Clark, representing Brandeis fc Sons
of Omaha, was present und although de
clining to bid was given permission' to talk
about the bonds. He pointed out the obr
Jectlonable features. In the first place
he spoke of the tight money market In the
east and then said that bankers had all
they could do now to provide money for
the moving of the crops '.n the west.
Money borrowed for movlig crops brings
higher rate of Interest than the 5 per
cent offered by the city of South Omaha.
Next he raid annual Interest is not liked
by bond buyers, as it is customary to pay
interest on municipal bonds semi-annually.
Then again came the serial question- Buy
ers, he declared, do not like the Idea of
having bonds taken up each year. In con
clusion, Mr. Clark said that he did not
look for any improvement In tho bond
market for the next six months. He in
timated that If the council would let tlie
bonds go for less than par he might put
in a bid, but he did not mention the amount
of discount. . ,
Every member of the council declared
that the bonds were good and were worth
a premium, and that the Issue would not
be sold at a discount. The matter ended
there. It Is expected that the finance
committee will endeavor to dispose of the
securities at private sale, but under the
law par must be paid.
Firemen and policemen whose pay ha
been held back for about eight months
will be disappointed at the failure of the
council to sell the bonds. Salaries of all
city officials are four months overdue and
cannot be paid owing to the failure to sell
the bonds. On September 1 the August
salaries of all city employes will be paid
out of the 1903 levy, but no back salaries
will be paid.
Bids for the grading of Nineteenth Street
from O to P Street were opened. The bid
der were Cosh Bros, and Dan Hanhon.
Cash Bros, bid 14 cents; per cubic yard,
while Hannon bid 14.24 Certts.' The contract
wa glyen to the' lower bidder, here I
about 6,000 yards of dirt to mov and the
engineer estimated the cost at about $900.
Appraisers for . Improvement "district
No. 13 were appointed by the mayor. These
appraisers are: John McMillan, Joseph
Murphy and Joseph Kopct.'', ,
The next meeting of the council will b
held on Monday evening, August 1. 4 '
- --nes;nlatlna; Fire . Limit, r j
"There should be-a revision of the -fire
limit ordinance," said a' member of the
council to a Bee reporter last night. ' "The
number of fires In Shacks and old buildings
of late has called attention to this matter."
Under the' existing ordinance:,' which was
passed in March, 1B99, when Dr. Ensor was
mayor, the limits extend from J street on
the north to N street on the south, and
from the track on the west to the alley
between Twenty-third ' and Twenty-fourth
streets on the east. It is now desired to
extend the limits to W street on the south
and as far east as Twentieth street; Per
haps when a new ordinance is Introduced
there may be some change made In the
north limits. . -
In this connection another city official
said that while the council Is about It some
change ought to be made in the method
of condemning old building, . It Is as
serted that in the older part of the city a
number of frame shells are being used for
residence and . business purposes which
should be torn down. Nearly every at
tempt of the council to have buildings con
demned Is fought out In the courts and,
owing to delays, the matter is frequently
dropped. The city engineer is In favor
of a general ' cleaning out of the old fire
trap and the fire fighting force ' would
naturally be glad to see this done, as the
rasing of a lot of old shack in the busi
ness portion of the city' would greatly
lessen the chances of fires. ,
Polish Dramatic Clnb Show.
Mention was made some time ago about
the refusal of the Fire and Police board
to permit the Polish Dramatic club to give
a performance at Kosclusxko hall. Twenty
seventh and J streets, on Sunday, August
16. Members of the board had declined to
permit the performance to. go on because
the hall Is situated In the same building
with a saloon.
Since the board granted the sheep butch
ers the privilege of holding a picnic at
Franek's last Sunday, those interested in
the Polish entertainment determined to
make another appeal to the board. This
time the members gave consent, and the
comedy ill be produced as originally ar
ranged. It la understood that the entire
proceeds of the entertainment will be given
to the Polish school.
Tucker Arraigned Agaln
Andrew Tucker was brought down from
the county Jail yesterday and again ar
ralgned In police court. He 1 charged with
murder In the first degree. As in the first
instance. Tucker, through his attorney, H.
C. Murphy, pleaded not guilty and waived
preliminary examination. The second
complaint was the same as the first, with
the exception of a change in the date
Assistant County ' Attorney Montgomery
stated that in drawing the first complaint
he had made an error and had written
April Instead of July, his attention having
been called to another case while drawing
this complaint. As soon as the error was
discovered yesterday Mr. Montgomery had
the case nolled and Tucker waa brought
down to be arraigned again. As soon as
the pleadings and wulvers were over
Tucker wa taken back to the county Jail.
No effort Is being made to secure his re
lease on bail.

President' Annual Address.
The annual address of the county presi
dent, Mrs. E. M. Covell, of Omaha came'
next. Mrs. Covell is a forceful speaker
and briefly summing up the condition that
make the Women's Christian Temperance
unions necessary, she regretted that .there
I not a more United effort to establish
them. Bhe said In part: "Oh, that there
were more minister like Pnrkhurst, more
Judges like Justice Jerome of New York,
and more 4 omen like Frances Wlllard. She
wa the very salt of the earth; but, while
salt is a good thing, we also need pepper,
and Carrie Nation has supplied this. Per
haps we do not all agree with Mr. Nation
and her methods, but when a woman has
been driven to despair she usually employ
her own methods and I for one have no
fault to find with Mrs. Nation and her
hatchet. If other women were as much
in earnest as she Is thingn would be dltV-
feren't than they are."
The report of the commluco on plan of
work Included recommendations that dur
ing the coming year the county officers do
more visiting among the ' affiliated unions;
that more work be done among the young

Huron Stone and Cement factory ha just

out stone blocks at the rate of about 130

A POOR CRUTCH.
Experience ia a dear teacher, as those who pin their
faith to Mercury find out sooner or later. This pow
erful poison combined with Potash, is the treatment gen
erally prescribed for Contagious Blood Poison, but failure
and disappointment is the invariable result. These min
erals drive in the Bores and eruptions, and apparently the
disease is gone and the patient believes the cure per-,
manent, but soon learns better when the old symptoms
return almost as soon as the treatment is left off. You
must either keep the system saturated with mercury or endure the tortures
of sore mouth, ulcerated throat and the mortification that one naturally
feels when the body is covered with disgusting sores, rashes, copper-colored
splotches and other aggravating symptoms of this vile disease.
Mercury and Potash are poor crutches, and their use eventually breaks
down the constitution, ruins the digestion and cause the bones to decay.

We will send free our book on Contagious Blood Poison, which is interest
ing and contains full directions for treating yourself at home. Medical advice
