Weill IP&per Kings j -J -j After an experience of twenty years in handling Wall Paper, we have no hesitancy in saying that we are better satisfied with our stock this season than with any selection heretofore made. For Exquisite Designs, Large Assortment and wide range of prices, our stock is unsurpassed in Cass county- Our prices run from 10c to $1.25 a Bolt. That means a double roll, and is not misleading.

We have heard nothing lately about sweeping the streets and clearing away tho rubbish that accumulates along the business street Some en terprising councilman should take this matter up and introduce an ordinance or resolution requiring the merchants to clean up all along the line. Mrs. Wrscott's class of girls in the M. E. Sabbath school, organized a year ago a society called the "Willing Worker," to aid in raising the church debt.

FRANK CITY COUNCIL CLATTER Considerable Business Trans acted Last Niefht HUT COULDN'T MAKE A CHIEF, FailtMl to Confirm the Mnyor'a Appointee The City to He Cleaned Up 1'ark I mprovements. Major Richey called the council to order last night at 8:15 and every member answered to roll call. Minutes of last meeting of old coun cil and of special meeting of new board read and app oved. Petition of M. W. A. band to have four incadescent lights placed in their hall. Read and referred to light com mittee. A number of business men peti tioned the mayor to have John Fitz patrick left on the police force. Mayor stated that he would take care of the petition. Mrs. McMaken was presout, repre senting the Woman's club, and re quested that the authorities arrange to have the streets and alleys cleaned up, sidewalks repaired and the city put in presentable condition so that we would not be ashamed of our city when exposition visitors come to see us this summer. She suggested that boxes or barrels be placed on the streets at convenient places where waste matter could bo deposited and hauled away. Mrs. Stoutenborough also spoke in behalf of the club and asked that the B. & M. park at the foot of Main street be beautified, that flowers be im! edded in the terrace to spell "Platt6mouth." Mr. Calvert had promised to put city water in the park so that the grass could bo keDt green all summer. She thought the city ought to appropriate some money for this purpose. On motion the requests were granted and the matters referred to the board of health and sidewalk committee. It was decided hereafter to leave all bills over, after being presented, for two weeks to give the finance com mittee time to investigate except sal ary bills. Report of ex-treasurer read and re ferred to finance committee. The marshal reported six arrests for the month of April; three commit ments, one fine remitted and two fines collected. Police judge's report was the same as marshal's report. Whalen of the light committeeasked for gas and electric light - supplies and clerk instructed on motion to purcnase what was needed. Judiciary committeo asked for fur ther timeon water ordinance. Granted, to report next meeting. Claims committee reported tho bill of Cass county against" the city for boarding city prisoners, correct, amounting to $65. Street committee reported that two catch basins had been put in recently and that they had another which ought to be put in alley back of Thier olf 's saloon to prevent the alley from flooding. Ordered put in. Sattler said Mr. Fricke was making some improvements at his residence and wanted permission to tap sewer at Sixth and Vine. Granted. City attorney was ordered to diaw resolution regarding the tapping of city sewers. Messersmith of the cemetery com mittee wanted sexton ordered to clean cemetery before Decoration day. So ordered. Judge Archer called the council's attention to the fact that the city had no flag and thought she ought to be patriotic enough to buy a flag and put up a pole on the city building. Herald moved that clerk be authorized to ex pend $15 for pole and flag. O. Guth mansaid he had a flag 8x12 feet which he would donate to the city if the coun cil would accept it. The fl ig, he said was a litte shy on stars but otherwise was all right. On motion to accept the donation all voted aye but Dove. After considerable discussion the motion was finally reconsidered and a motion pre vailed that the flag business be left to a special committte of three with pow er to act to the amount of $15 or accept the donation as they see fit. Several sidewalk resolutions were presented and passed. City cierK was ordered to advertise for bids for side walk repairs where property owners failed to do their duty in the matter of repairs. Hinshaw spoke of several cross walks in his ward which ought to be made wider. Street committee instructed to make all needed repairs or changes to walks and crossings thoughout the city. Herald stated that there was a bad piece of sidewalk on Granite street be tween Twelfth and Thirteenth and chief of police instructed to notify par ties to fix it and also a bad place near Sokol hall. A washout on Vine and Thirteenth, near Mr. Jelineck's residence was re ported. Tho gentlemnn asked per mission to repair it and pay his poll tax in that way. That 6uited tho council all right and ho will proceed to work. The following bills wore read and clerk instructed to draw warrants for their payment: John Fitzpatrick, salary $ 5f 00 John Murray, salary 40 (H) 1 Hansen, salary 40 W Cass county, boarding city prisoners 5 (JO Louis Dose, labor 1 U.

Si" The bill of John Gingery for un loading coal was referred to tho claims committee. Mr. Long, tho fireman at the light plant, 6tated to the council that two men were now doinir three men's work at tho power house and that they could not unload coal and that they could not afford to pay for the unloading. He would quit befoie he would pay out of his own pocket for this work. Sattler wanted the bill allowed and Whalen of the lierht com mittee said he had investigated and found that it would be but just to pay it. White was in favor of the men employed at the plant doing the wok or the city could get men who would. Bill referred. Mayor nominated Mike MorHssey for chief of police, but ho failed of confirmation by the followfng vote: Ayes White, E. Lutz, Whalen and Dove. Nays Messersmith, Rebal, IJin sh aw, Hcrold, Sattler, J. Lutz. The council then adjourned, much to the disappointment of the large crowd of citizens who had assembled expecting to see some fun when it came to police making. DEATANDS REQUISITION PAPERS. A Man Arrested for a Suppnurd Crime in Iowa Kefused to Leave the State. Sheriff Morgan, of Council Bluffs, was in town today and arrested a man wanted there on some charge. The man refused to go without a requisi tion and tho sheriff turned his man over to Chief Fitzpatrick and went to Lincoln for requisition papers. We got this item just in tinio to stop tho press, and, as the fellow wou'd not give his name or tell what he was charged with, we give all the facts in our pot session at this moment. The man is in jail here at this writing. He dors not look like a very bad man and contends that there is nothing in the case brought up against him. Ho is smart enough however not to talk very much.

A HAM) MAN TO P.EAl THE LIVE RAILROAD AGENT IS UP TO ALL SORTS OF TRICKS. Clrens People Are I'retly Cnte Them-Ht-lves, but Tl: In Story Show How One Party Wax Cleverly Outwitted ly the HriHtlins Kailnaler. "Thrro aro ponplo who ' think you can't teat a circus man, but I want to tell you that the hardest ii.an to do is a live railroad man." Tho old KHwdnst manager had tried it. lie continued : "Knew vbcro Pnrrcll is in tho In dian Territory? Away down at the jumpiug off plaoo on the Santa Fu mad. Tho show had boon at Punxll and we wanted to got out in 'the night for a long run. Wo were going to make a jump to Kansas City. Not far from Purccll in another town. Oklahoma City. At that point a competing road with tho Santa Feruns in. We. had f00 people, and r.f courne the railroad men were after :h. It was a big haul. Some of our people bought through tickets from Purccll, and they didn't worry. But about 200, may bo mere, of the crowd that always haggles over a 10 cent dicker concluded to take the Santa To from Purccll to Oklahoma City, pay the short haul, and then take tho com peting lino at Oklahoma, the agents of which were active and full of promises. "Then tho Santa Fe man fixed it no the dickerers couldn't lny any tickc ts from Pnrcell to Oklahoma, for tho train wo were to go on was a tpi rial. The dickerers said that was all right; that they would wait for tho rigular. In less than five minutes a buih tin was slapped ou the I oard rf tho station to tho effect that the regular Santa Fe was 12 hours late. That marie the fellows who were dickering for a cheaper rate torn white around their gills. "In another five minutes I saw a man on a track velocipede scudding down the stretch. Every man to his business. So I thought tho railroad people knew what they were doing, and they did. That chap on tho velocipede was going down the track to flag the regular and hold it indefinitely. Smart trick, wasn't it? Wait till I tell you. There was a smarter trick than that. "When tho special got ready to pull out, the dickerers asked tho agent if they could pr.y cn tho train from Pnr cell to Oklahoma, and he said 'Cert.' So they all boarded tho train at Pnr cell, inteudiug to get off at Oklahoma. Just before tho train pulled out the agent walks dowu to the engine and asks the eld man at the throttle how long ho had been ou tho road aud about tho capacity of hi3 iron horse, and so forth. - " 'How many miles aa hour can she go at her best?' asked the agent. 'Ou a good track, G5 miles.' " 'Is it a good track through Oklaho ma City? " 'Yes, pretty good.' " 'All rigiit. You've pot no orders to stop there uer to slow up, have you?' Not yet.' i I 4 1 Well, when yen pet to tho edge cf tho town you let hi r pn. Don't stop for anything flags or te.ims or cattle. Scoot through the town at a ('' mile gait, or more if you like, aiid don't slow tip until ycu slrike that Ktrip of desolation about 1 1 miles t'other side aud you smoke a box of tho iinest cigars iu Chicago. Is it a jxo?' " 'If I dou't cet uo orders 'fore I start. "'Well, yen are five minutes late now. ' "Iu a mir.r.te, r.i:d I calculate it was less, the circus special was under way. It went around curves like a scared snako. It shot ccross straight lines like a gazello that had been singed. It whirled tho dust of that country into tho sky. After awhile we saw a town. Then wo went throngh it like tho wom an that's shot from tho catapult, only moro bo. Ono of tho dickerers, who was smiling to think tho conductor had not yet como rouud, asked a l.r.ikemau as the train was going through, the street, 'What towu is thiar' Iho brakeman said, 'Oklahoma City.' "The dickerer's smilo faded as it came, as the pott says, and his hair stood up, and turniug to the brakeman he says: " 'Jezecrimini ! Stop her I Here's where we get off!' " 'She doesn't even hesitate at a town like this,' 6aid tho brakeman. "Well, about 11 miles on this side, in a strip of country where a crow can't live and where an Indian wouldn't be caught dead, the old iron hor.se began to slow up. The conductor came through just then and said: " 'Tickets!' "Well, say, that was a funny sight. Them that had tickets showed up and then went to sleep. But the dickerers began to kick. They said they should have been let off at Oklahoma City. The conductor said the train didn't stop at Oklahoma, that it wasn't scheduled to stop there, and that he wasn't going to go back that trip. The leader of the dickerers for cheap fares wanted to know what was to be done. "The conductor was an old timer. He had a face on him like a woman who never loved anybody. He just told them, 'Pay or get off. ' Then they asked him where they could pay to. And he said the train wouldn't stop any more until it get to Kansas City the next morning nnles3 it stopped to put them off. And he reached up and caught the bellcord. "And every one of the dickerers paid to Kansas City. And, of course, under the railroad law, they paid more than they would have paid if they bad bought tickets at Pnrcell. And the com pany was that much ahead. And that's what I mean when I say that the hard est man to do is a live railroad man." TJw York Sun. Old GloryGlory.
