At a meeting of the city council, held
last night. Tax Commissioner O'Neil sent
In a list of fourteen deputies whom he has
engaged to make the 1905 assessment of
real and personal property. The council

Raynor, J. M. Fitzgerald, O. W. Howe, W.
II. Rawley, O. Tylee, Joseph Nodollnskl,
Fred Carpenter. S. C. Shrlgley, Peter Pic
queur, E. Copenliarve, Giis Oleson, James
Rybln, M. Fitzgerald and Joseph Plpal.
These deputies will commence work on
May 1 nnd the returns must be made by
June 15. For compensation the deputies
will be paid at the rate of 13 per day.
Councilman Dworak handed ln a report
recommending that Frank Thompson be
given the contract of taking care of the
city fire alarm system for six months at
the rate of J25 per month, the city to
furnish the material used. The report
was voted down.
The street car transfer ordinance drawn
at the request of Klewit and filed with the
city clerk on Saturday was withdrawn be
fore the council was called to order.
An ordinance prohibiting expectorating
on the sidewalks and In public places was
passed. Persons violating this ordinance
are subject to a fine of 10.
The request ot the police board for a
new harness and repairs to hose wagons
was referred to the fire and water com
mittee of the council with power to act. It
cost the city $20 for a fire insurance of
$1,000 on the emergency hospital.
In order to put a stop to sidewalk In
terest drawing warrants the council ap
propriated $4,707 to take up outstanding
sidewalk warrants. The money to take up
these warrants was taken from tho Bcav
enger fund. This notion cleans up all out
standing Indebtedness on sidewalk ac
counts.
A largo number of permanent walks
were ordered laid In all parts ot the city
City Clerk Glllin was directed to advertise
for bids for the grading of Sixteenth
street from Missouri avenue to I street.
Some unimportant routine business ln re
lation to tax cases was disposed of and
then tho body adjourned for one week.
Library Patrons Increasing;.
At the present time tho patrons of the
South Omaha library number 1,535. With
only a few over 2,000 volumes in circula
tion a large proportion of the books are
out all the time. Of course government
records and books of reference are not
called for aa much as works on history,
travel and fiction. One new feature Is tho
collecting of standard magazines. Miss
Jane Abbott, the librarian; said yesterday
that the spring house-cleaning had re
sulted ln the bringing of a large number
of magazines to the library. It is pro
posed to have these magazines bound as
soon us sets are completed. All persons
having standard magazines are requested
to send them to the library in order that
full sets may be prepared for binding.
New books are needed and residents of
South Omaha are requested to contribute
books to the library. Screens and cur
tains have been placed at the library build
ing and now all the association needs Is
more books.
Jetter Making- Improvements.
The Jetter Brewing company of : South
Omaha still continues to make Improve
ments. Monday brick laying was com
menced on a $3,000 brick building at Thir
tieth and U streets. The contractors ex
pect to finish this structure within fifty
days. Work has also been started on a
frame saloon building at Forty-sixth and
Q streets to cost not less than $2,000.
In addition to these two buildings plans
have been drawn for a brick and steel
cooper shop and pitch shed at the brewery.
Mr. Jetter stated that it would be twenty
or thirty days before work could com
mence on the new cooper shop on account
of the scarcity of good building brick.
The cooper shop and pitch shed will be
erected on ground north of the brewery
and west of the bottling works and when
completed will cost between $8,000 and
$10,000. It Is the Intention to make other
Improvements at the brewery this year,
but arrangements and plans have not been
completed.
Feeder Shipments Increasing;,
There was a liberal movement of feeder
cattlo and sheep at the yards here last
week. Reports filed at the stock yards
offices Monday showed that 4,244 head of
cattle feeders were sent to the country.
Of this total 2,341 head went to Iowa and
1,877 head to Nebraska feed lots. The
output of feeder sheep and lambs was
larger than for some time past, the week's
output being 24,077 head, as compared with
11,645 head the week previous. Most of
the sheep feeders consisted of Colorado
lambs and were sent to Illinois to be
shorn and fattened. Of the total shipments
of lambs 22,904 head were shipped to
Illinois, 70() head to Nebraska feed lots and
413 head to Iowa farms.
Heef May no Higher.
A few cars of Wyoming cattle arrived at
the yards yesterday and Bold nt good
prices. Shippers are expecting that the
price of cattle will go considerable higher.
C. L. Talbot, chief brand Insiiector at the
yards here, said last evening that stock
growers were looking for an fncrease In
the price of cattle on the hoof. His cor
respondents assert that stock Is In fine
condition and that an Increase ln price
of from 50 cents to 75 cents Is antici
pated. Dealers ln meats ln South Omaha
seem to think that the price of beef will
go higher before it lowers te any remarka
ble extent. Even with the prevailing high
prices of meats of all kinds local butchers
declare that there Is apparently no falling
off In the domand.
Will Inspect Fire Houses Today.
Some time today a committee of the coun
cil and two members of the Fire and Po
lice board will vluit Omaha fire stations for
the purpose of arranging for plans for a
new fire department headquarters to be
built here this year. The council commit
tee will consist of Adklns, Queenan and
McCraith, while A. L. Bergulst and A. A.
Nixon of the fire board will . accompany
the couucilmen. It is the plan to inspect
some of the engine houses ln Omaha and
have an architect draw plans suitable for
South Omaha fire department headquarters.
Finishing J Street Grading;.
Owen Bros , who have the contract for
grading J street from Twenty-fourth to
Twenty-fifth street, will finish up the wnrk
this week. This work was started last fall,
but the cold weather prevented putting on
the finishing touches. Hy the end of the
week the roadway will have been put to
grade and then the permanent sidewalks
ordered will be put down. A great Improve
ment In this one block of street has been
made by the grading, and when walks are
laid the street will be as good aa any un
paved street In the city. A temporary board
waiK was laid on the norm side or tne
street pending the completion of the work,
but as soon as the graders leave perma
nent walks must be put down.

thief and Members of the Police
Bonrd Make a Tour of
District.
Acting Mayor Zlmman and Police Com
missioners Thomas, Broatch and Bpratlen,
accompanied by Chief of Police Donahue,
mado a tour of the red light district last
night In order to see for 'themselves how
the recent orders affecting the' denizens of
that part of town were; being regarded.
They found that unfamllfar decorum gov
erned the conduct of every one, and noth
ing was seen that called, lot special criti
cism. -, ,
The examination was a prolonged one
and extended to all parts of the district.
Tho fact that the distinguished party was
on a tour of Inspection seemed to get
heralded around with surprising speed,
much faster than tho . party moved.
Whether this had something to do with
the absence of the usual go-as-you-please
the former at 15 cents a pound were or
dered and a quantity of mushrooms at
30 cents a can
"Were there many mushrooms ordered?"
was asked Commissioner Tralnor.
"Quite a few, I .understand," he replied.
'I can't say that I see any call for this
kind of truck at the poor farm. Sick
persons may need delicacies, but lt looks
to me as though mushrooms Is going too
far. I don't believe ln a lot of hard
working, self-supporting people living on
liver and bacon ln order to supply this
kind of feed to dependents."
Among the things bought on a recent
order were sausages for 10 cents a pound,
contract price S cents; mutton for 10 cents,
with a contract price of 7 cents; boneless
ham for 12Va cents, whereas the contract
calls for the superior plain ham at 9 cents
and a quantity of seeded raisins for 8 and
10 cents a pound, when the contract price
is 6 cents. Other instances were cited
whereby stuff was bought for higher prices
than is possible under the contracts.
