Kichey was not present at the regular meeting of tho city council last evening and President John P. Sattlor occupied the chair with us much pomp and grace as the most up-to-date parliamentarian in the country. All members were pres ent except Whelan. A petition riigned by a number of Second ward mbidentH wan presented fy John Hinrtliitw, unking that tho water main be exUndod from Hick ory to Timber street and upon a vote of tho council the prayer of the peti tioner was granted. City Clerk Kerr read a communica tion from Police Judge M. Arehur, charging Night Watchman llassen with conduct unbecoming an olliie-. The document was quite lengthy, and among other things charged him with clogging the wheels of justice. In the case of Alice Jones vs. llertha In seott, which was to have heen heard in police court the latter part of last week, the judge charges that Hassen interceded for the defendant by going to the complaining witness and get ting her to withdraw her complaint, thereby interfering with tho court's business. It is further set torth in the charges that when the Inscott woman became intoxicated and was taken to jail Haesen's interests in her had not waned and he spent sometime in the jail soothing her, and finally got an order for her release with the under standing that she was to get out ol town on passenger train No. 12, east. This, he claims, the policeman did not do, but kept her at a hotel over night and early the next morning the two entered a cab and went to the Missouri Pacific station where she boarded a train for Omaha. A paper which no one except Hassen would have any interest in takintr was miss ing from the police judge's office, and Archer wanted him prohibited from entering theofllce after night. When asked what disposition would be made of the charges the council referred the matter to the polico committee for investigation, and the same will be made at a meeting Wednesday even ing. At tbi juncture llassen abked per mission to say a word in his own be half, but the matter having been re ferred to the committee Piesident Sattler informed him it would bo un necessary, that he could make tho de fense at the investigation. As chairman of the tire and water committee Lutz of the Fifth asked that some needed repairs for the hose be purchased, and the city clerk was instructed to make tbo necessary pur: chase. James Herold had previously had an address to the voters framed in refer ence to the proposition to refund the city bonds, setting out the good points and making the matter clear, and the same was read by the clek and it was suggested that it be printed by the city newspapers. Considerable dis cussion was indulged in a- to the best method of acquainting the voters with the proposition. White offered to furnish his hall in which to hold a public meeting, and it whs decided to hold the same Thursday evening. Speakers will be provided to explain the proiosition in the various lan guages, and each councilman pledged himself to matte explanations when ever an opportunity presented itself. The finance committee returned claims against the city as follows: Hans Rathmann. labor $ 60 Plattsmouth Water company, hydrant rent - B O Kerr, collector 45 00 O Tyley. labor 3 75 M McCool. same 1 50 V J White, coal 1 " Sam Archer, pipeman 1 M James Hiclcson. labor '-25 Egenberger & Troop, wood 4 50 J Waterman, lumber 4 'Jo L Kildow. street work 9 00 John Gingery, labor 3 30 A H YVeckback & Co. coal - 40 Charles Hendricksen. labor '-' 25 L Kildow. labor 1 Frank Kolacek, labor i 2 M McCool. labor 3 45 N Jones, labor 30 O F Houseworth. filings ' Joe Dove, councilman from the Fifth, presented his resignation, which was accepted.
