ployed the Consolidated Engineering
company w ho was represented at this
meeting by Mr. Camplan, who had
made the original survey and esti
mate of the cost of paving. That
the contracts were ready to be
signed and approved by the council.
That the contract could now be read
and the council could take such ac
tion as It bb w fit. Accordingly, the
contracts were presented and read,
binding the engineering company to
do the work of setting the grade
btakes, overseeing the testing of the
material, and oversee the putting in
of the paving according to the M.
Ford contract, and make the esti
mates of assessment, and apportion
the Ux to each adjacent property.
This the company were to do for a
consideration of three per cent of
the Ford contract prices, provided
the work was all done within ninety
days, and for $G.OO per day for the
additional time beyond the ninety
day period.
Mayor Sattler then asked the
members of the council to express
opinions as to the desirability of the
contract. Mr. Dwyer then arose,
lifter a moment's delay and stated
that he believed the contract with
the engineering company was as
favorable as the city could expect
and demand good work, and that he
would vote for the approval of the
contract. Mr. Schulhof expressed
himself in about the same tenor. The
matter was then put to a vote and
was carried, by every councilman
voting aye.
Mr. Campion then arose and
thanked the council, and stated as he
wbb the engineer, there would be a
force of men In the field Tuesday
morning, to which the Mayor an
swered that he hoped the matter
would be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. Communications were then called
for, and a petition from citizens in
the Second ward asking that tho
bridge on Thirteenth street between
Pearl and Locust streets be placed
in repair, the matter was referred to
the proper committee. A petition
was presented asking for permanent
crossings on Pearl, Granite, Rock
and Marbel streets, which was re
ferred to the streets, alleys and
bridges committee.
The report of the stroets, alleys
and bridges committee on the walk
ordered down on Silver street, was
read and the matter referred to the
Third ward councilman, on a vote ot
the council.
Councilman Weber, of the streets,
alleys and bridges committee fur
ther reported for the committee that
the opening of Porter street In the
Fifth ward was within the territory
ot the Fifth ward councilman, and
he moved that the opening of this
et reel be referred to tho councilman
of the Fifth ward, which was voted.
Mr. Weber reported on getting a
rattler to test the lirlck, and that a
rattler would be an expensive luxury
and that it was next to Impossible to
borrow or hire one, bo that the com
mlttee recommended that a sample
of brick from each car be sent to
Omaha and ho tested there beforo
being placed In the pavement. This
suggestion will bo followed.
Mr. Neumnn then got tho floor and
wanted the council to tell him when
some of the work which had been
ordered done last spring was going
to be done, and that ho was growing
tired of the delay and he would he
pleased If the streets, alleys and
bridges committee would do some of
tho things which tho council had
ordered. Ho was replied to by Mr.
Weber from the committee, and Mr.
Schulhof from his own ward, and
from the tenor of these talks it ap
peared that part of the work had
been done and that tho committee
was getting around as fast as possi
ble. Mr. Neuman then stated that
there was a hole near his own prop
erty which could now be fixed for
$50.00 maybe, or maybe more, and it
let go would cost the city $200.00 or
$300. It waa moved by Schulhof
that the work be done, and all coui
tllmen voted aye, except Mr. Neu
man, who voted nay.
It was then voted, on the motion
of Mr. Neuman, of the Fourth ward,
that the water company be required
to place a post by the side of the
pipe at the corner of Fifth and
Main streets to support the perpen
dicular pipe with whic h the company
fills the sprinkler wagon.

ceived with some surprise, the notice
of the council to the Hurllngton to
place bannisters over the foot-bridte
on Hock Pluff avenue, and stated
that the notice did not specify defin
itely where the bridge was located,
and that the company owned r.o
property on that avenue, and that If
It did, the writer had no authority
to move in the matter aa he was a
mechanical superintendent and that
his Jurisdiction ended with the shop
fence. On motion of Mr. Schultoff
the matter was referred to the Fifth
ward councilman.

VERT CLOSE CULL
Last evening one Samuel Sever-
son, who with his wife and five chil
dren have boated down the Missouri
river from Ft. Reno, Montana, dur-
ng the summer, got an over dose of
bug juice and got the notion In his
noodle that he was stronger than a
locomotive and a train of cars.
Samuel was at the Hurllngton station
about midnight, sheltering from the
chill night air, and was in company
with another man, who was about as
full aa himself. Night Operator
Moore routed them out of the station
and Severson started clown the track
toward his house boat near the big
bridge.
Night Police II. Trout started down
tho track some time after the men
left the station and about half way
between tho elevator and the mouth
of Happy Hollow, he came upon Sev
erson lying on the track asleep, lying
across the main line track. Just at
that time lie heard the rumble of
extra No. 1070, which was due to
pass the station at 1:33 a. in. The
policeman heard It whistling all
aboard, as It came down from the
west and ho aroused the sleeping
man, who muttered that he was not
afraid of any engine that was ever
made, and that let them try to run
over htm If they dared. Mr. Trout
seized him by tho arm and tried to
drag him from tho track, but the
man seized the rail and Insisted on
staying where he was.
The policeman finally unloosened
his hold and got him out of the way
Just In time to let the extra by with
out Injuring tho drunken man. Mr.
Trout brought Severson to tho Jail,
where he rested till morning. He
was taken beforo Judge Archer,
where he declared this was the first
tlmo he had ever been 1 nnn intoxi
cated condition In his whole lire.
With this understanding the Judge
allowed him to go back to his boat
and family.

at 4:10 in the afternoon will start
over the Union Pacific for San Fran
cisco, Calif., at which point, and on
October 5th, she will board the gov

the Philippine Islands. It will be the
first part of November before she will
reach her destination, it taking thirty
days alone for crossing the Pacific
ocean. Miss Kerr expects to make
her home with an aunt, Miss Maria
Gilman, who is a sister of Mrs. Kerr.
Miss Gilman Is postmistress at Ft.
McKlnley, which Is located about
six miles from Manila. Miss Gilman
has been located at the Philippine
Islands for the past eight or nine
years, and has returned to the states
but once In that time. When she
first went over there she taught
school In one of the provinces, but
during the recent years has been
postmistress at the fort. These prov

than our own county and In the one

the army officials' children. We Join
Miss Kerr's many friends in wishing
her a safe and pleasant journey, and
trust that she will be pleased with
her new location.
Knjoy Dog Roast.
From Wednesday's Dally.
The Indians finished two days of
festivities last evening, during which
the ancient custom of dining on the
juicy meat ot a dead canine was en
Joyed by the braves. It is rarely that
this toothsome viand Is served in
such loyal style as at the recent dog
roast. It Is now apparent why two
very valuable dogs disappeared this
week. Dog fanciers need have no
fears, however, In future, aa this
feast only occurs at very long Inter
vals. It has always been the custom
for an officer of high station to fur
nish the dog for such aecaslons,
hence the fact that Constable Denson
was called on to sacrifice his valuable
cur. A. Mtka b faithful animal prob
ably served the same valuable pur
pose. Grand Sachem J. C. York, was
Interviewed on the matter ot where
the subjects for the roast were ob
talned, but with characteristic silence
of tho tribe, shook his head, and de
cllned to talk.
