Hall mice unrl twenty others, asking that Iloldrege street be opened from' Ninth Htreet to Hill ings avenue; after considerable lis cussion the matter wan ordered in vestigated by Messrs. Gutsche anl Ilaar with a view to jrantiiitf the prayer of the petitioners. A petition for Hidewalk nn Vine Street from Seventli to KihtR streetn nnd to fix' newer; ijned by John Jtauer and Keveral other, was grant ed and work whh onleretl done. Salisbury railed attention to the Condition of a If aim on South Sixth Btreet, where Mr. T. Clark h;id built Beveral liouneH and made valuable improvements, expecting the city to open the Btreet which had not been done. On motion of Hemple a upe cial committee consirttinj of Menur. Hemple, Salibury and Larson wen: appointed to nee what termH could be made with the property owiuth for the immediate opening- of the street and reiort to council. The city marshaH'H report for the month of February showed receipt of $1, collected a tines. The police judge's report showed the same thin witli a receipt from the city treasurer for a like amount append ed to hirt report. The report of the .city treasurer wan then read, which showed a iui ballance in many "of .the funds. Total amount of money in hands of city treasurer outside of school funds, on the first day of March was $13,275.25.. It seems A. X. Sullivan filed anew Claim with the clerk for $500 for his services as attorney in the bond case, which was read, and in the us ual cotwrse of business referred to the linSmce committee. Messrs. Salsbury and Hemple of that com mittee reported at once in favor of its beiJijf allowed; this opened the ball for a tight. Gutsche vigorously opposed the allowance of the claim because it was exorbitant, and in re ply to the claim that Mr. Sullivan 'had done much for the city, he re marked sarcastically that there were too many patriots" for. revenue in this town and that if this bill were allowed this would not be the end of it either. Ureckenfeld and Larson warmly espoused Gutsche's argu ment of the matter, while Salisbury thought the time and work of Mr. Sullivan was well worth $500 and it was not right to cut the bill down, as he knew it would be the only one the council would have to pay. Mr. Salisbury spoke highl3' of Mr. Sulli van and made a strong argument in favor of his proposition. A claim of J. 1$. Strode for $: 5 . was withdrawn from the hands of the city clerk y Mr. Strong. A vote being taken, the report of the finance committee was not adopted, all members voting 110 except Salis bury ami Hemple. Mr. Jones said he thought this claim ought to be settled, ami as Mr. Sullivan had re ceived $2i K already as part payment for services, he moved that be allowed in full of claim; Urecken feld moved to amend by making the amount $250 in full of claim. On vote being taken. Messrs. Gutsche, llagar. Larson. Hemple, Jones and Ureckenfeld voted in the affirmative. Salisbury voting no. thus settling a claim that has been before the council for several ses sions. The claim of Mr. alker for dam ages by water at lire some time ago w7is refused, whereupon Larson tfok occasion to dre up the tire department for lack of discipline and demanded that it have a chief that could enforce discipline. Lar sons speech aroused Ureckenfeld and he arose and in eloquent tones defended the tire department a be ing a good one, and that owing to the dense smoke they did just as any other tire department would have done under similar circum stances. As an oratorical etfort. Hreckenfeld's speech was a gem and won hf -ii many encomiums from those who heard him. Gutsche got in some of his sledge-hammer lu hs at the department, having seen them at the livers lire, ne s.o.i there was some -good material in the department, but there were too many bummers and absolutely no discipline, and that three good men would do more than the whole de partment has so far as he knew ever accomplished at a tire. Mr. Gutsche ottered the following resolution, which on a ruling from the mayor that it would effect nothing, as on ly an ordinance could change the law. it was voted down: Whereas, It in a matter of great importance that the city should have at all times an efficient and well drilled fire department, therefore be it "RErfOLVKl. That the committee on lire and water be and they are hereby instructed to reorganize our present volunteer department upon the following lines: "The tire department shall con sist of twenly-four men, exclusive of the chief and his assistant. "The officers of IOf companies U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 1889. shall be captain and pipeman; of hook and ladder companies, captain and lieutenant. "The chief and assistant-chief sh: 11 be appointed by the mayor and continued by the council and shall receive $100 and $75 for their services per annum. "Salaries of captain, pipem in. and lieutenants shall be 40 cents per hour and privates 35 cents per hour for actual service. "The committee on tire and water shall make suitable arrangements for hauling hose carts and ladder trucks to fires. They shall also make such rules and ' regulations for the gov ernment of the department as they may from time to time deem ad visable." The claim of C. W. Holmes for $1.50 referred back to police com mittee. The following bills were then al lowed: Joe Klein, for police goods. .$ 30 00 Gas &. KIcc't L'tCo 317 50 S Archer, salary 50 00 Frank O'Neill, salary 45 00 Jno Kitzpatrick " '. 45 00 J Denson " 45 00 LABOR OX STREETS.

Sidewalk was ordered put down on Seventh, Kighth and South Tenth streets, after which council ad journed. Friday's Exercises. The following is the interesting program of exercises that was given at the high school by the Grammar grade this morning: Song "The Violet." By the School Declamation ."The Lepend of Bregenz." BiancU Kennedy. Sons ' Three Black Crows.". - .by "The Trio." Essay "Crlstopher Columbus". . . Bessie GeiRer Violin Solo Blumenlied." ..Lillian Kauble Declamation "How Zuchery Setthe Hen." Koae nyer. Declamation "The Painter of Seville." '-ertrude Hil'on. ona "Soldier's Farewell." By the School Declamation "Mrs. Maloney on the Chine Quenli. 11." Maud Kennie Given up the Fisrht. Louisville has given up the fight on the county seat. I'lattsmouth, through her representative. Hon. F. E. White, is reported to have agreed with his consort, Mr. Shryock. to leg a bill through the legislature lo cating an intermediate penitentiary at Louisville. We shall await the result and see if this pair of ducks can foist another institution on the state and locate it where they please. It will be interesting to know how much of the $10,000 the purchase price of the Stout castle has been furnished by I'lattsmouth in con sideration of the dropping of the county seat contest by Louisville. If the services of Mr. White to the scheme is all they donate, they have made a good bargain, while Louis ville will be holding the bag for the snap" that fails to fall that way. The voters of Cass county who have put their names to a petition on two different occasions for the purpose of locating the county seat at Louisville are not feeling very happy at the thought of beingmade a cat's paw in that !:i:iu! of n way, and will he rather shy in the"future in being, duped that way again. A large majority of the people want the scat of government changed for the benefit 'of the masses. They still feel like trying again to secure jus tice. Weeping Water Kagle. "Mossbacks." The true feeling that exists in Weeping Water is pretty clearly ex emplified by the following article from the Weeping Water Repub lican, which slurs the town they pretended to support only a few days ago. The Republican says: "l'latimouth and Louisville have effected a compromise; we under stand Stander withdrew his injunc tion proceedings, to prevent the tearing down of the old court house building, and the I'lattsmouth pa oers sav an understanding has been reached whereby Louisville and I'lattsmouth will in the f uture work in h.-irmonv. It looks verv much like a case of sell out on the part of Louisville. I'lattsmovth could well aifortl to- and easily purchase a half dozen of the leading (?) citizens of that old mossbaek burgh, and we believe she has done it." Dr. MARSHALL. DKXTIST. will be in his office on and after March 14th. School Board Meeting. There will be a special meeting of the board of education tonight. The attendance of every member is desired. I'KUSONAL.

A party of young people will go out to Fvight Mile Grove tonight to attend the exhibition at the close of the Faght Mile Grove school. The Western Union has taken a fit of economy and laid off a few of its Omaha operators, Dal Jones be ing one of the unlucky ones. Omaha has organized a tin mining company with a capital stock of $300,000. Custer, Dakota, is to be the scene of the company's operations. ' The young folks' society at the Christian church elected Miss Libbie Sturtevant president, Virgie Tutt vice president, Nellie Morrison secretary and Anna Crichfield treas urer.

High School Notes. Miss May Herry's room has the banner this week. Her room has the honor of having earned the banner about nine weeks this year. O. A. Scott of Omaha was a visitor of Professor McClclland's 011 Tues day. Tuesday was a very unlucky day for teachers. Miss Searle, Miss Hemple and Miss Greusel were de tained at home on account of sick ness. Miss Adams, Miss Vass and Miss Royal acted as substitutes in a Very acceptable maimer. Mrs. W. A. llu."ck and Miss Hceck were visitors at central building yesterday afternoon. Several new pupils in central building this week. Miss Woodrow of Malvern, Iowa, was visiting Miss Shepherd's room Tuesday. Miss Woodrow was for merly one of Plattsmoutlf s best teachers. Visitors this morning were Miss Russell. of Weeping Water, Dr. Armstrong, of York, manager of the orphans' home located atthat place, Mrs. Spurlock, Mrs. Griffith. Mrs. Charles Johnson, Mrs. Niles, Mrs. McKlwain, My ron McKlwain, Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Drew. At the close of the entertainment this morning. Dr. Armstrong gave a very interesting talk to the school which was highly appreciated. He is a very earne.-t worker in behalf of education. From the position that Prof. Hal sey occupied during the song en titled "The Three Lrow.s" he cer tainly must have enjoyed it. Our lodger under the floor came forth last night ami took a stroll through the building looking, per hapsfor the labratory where air pumps, eleciiic machines and anat omy subjects are stored. The declamation this morning by Miss iflanch Kennedy was certainly a gem. Her delivery and gestures were almost perfect, and it was the best declamation we have had this term. Iiy proper training Miss Ken nedy would hoiil a prominent place as an elocutionist. The declamation on the Chinese question by Miss Maud K'ennie was first class and does much credit to the little lady who delivered it. One of the features of our high school this year (which by the way- is not found in most high schools) is n general review of all the com mon branches at the end f the year. Also spelling and writing are among the regular studies. Miss Searle i- still detained at home 011 account of illness, with no prospect of her return next week. Miss Hemple has been sick the greater pari of the week also Miss Greusel. William Hays, secretary of the hoard of education, is quite ill with malarial fever.
