THE REGULAR
MEETING OE
THE CITY DADS
Council Passes Light Franchise
Matter Over Until the Next
Meeting of That Body.
There was a large number of
interested citizens present last
even ner at the regular semi
monthly meeting of the eily
council, called there by a desire
to see what the council would do
in regard to the question of light
ervice and a franchise to tnc
McKinlev interests, who have ex
pressed a willingness to bring
relief in the matter of lighting
the city if given, a franchise, but
the crowd was disappointed, as
the matter was passed over until
the next meeting in order that
the attorney for the McKinley
people might be present to hear
the reading- of the ordinance and
state, the position (if his company
in regard to the question of the
franchise.
The report of City Clerk Xe-
mefz was one good for the eyes,
as it showed that during the
month just passed he had col
lected $7,105.50, but this included
the license money from the seven
aloons of the city, and the coin
secured will come in very handy
in the running of the city govern
ment during the ensuing year.
The report of the chief of the
fire department showed that the
chief and the chairman of the
fire and water committee of the
council bad examined the hose on
carts No. 3 and 4 and found them
in good shape with the exception
of a section on No. -4, which was
not in the best of shape, but
which can be easily replaced. The
chief also reported that the fire
lydrant at the corner of Third
and Oak streets was in bad shape,
eing set too low it had gotten
filled in until it was difficult to
get in there to make connections
in case of fire.
The judiciary committee of the
council, which had been, con
sidering tho application of Jay
Vaughn for a reduction in t lie
amount of occupation tax he
should pay as a dealer in gaso-
ine and kerosene in excess of
fifty gallons, reported back that
there was no way in which he
could get out of paying the same
laxas other oil companies unless
the council desired to 'repeal the
present ordinance in regard
to the matter, and the com
mittee recommended that the
ordinance be allowed to stand.
This report was adopted by a
unanimous vote. Mr. Vaugh
stated to the council that he
iad lived here before engaging in
this business and did not think
that he should be compelled to
pay the tax as heavy as outside
corporations, as he was operat
ing as an individual and had suc
ceeded in reducing the price of
both gasoline and coal "oil to the
consumers. '
Mr. Streight of the judiciary
committee requested further time
on the matter of the light fran
chise and referred the matter to
City Attorney Tidd, who stated
that the ordinance had been look
ed over as prepared by the Mc
Kinley interests and a new one
prepared, but it was best to have
the representative of the com
pany here, and the council grant
ed the time asked for.
The chairman of the streets,
alleys and bridges committee, Mr.
Bestor, stated that the matter of
getting the plates to be used on
the North Sixth street crossings
had not been carried out, as the
committee did not know just what
was desired in the way of plates,
whether roughened steel or
smooth iron ones, and they
awaited the pleasure of the coun
cil. Mr. Ilallstrom was not very
much in favor of the use of
plates, as he stated they had not
been found effective in Lincoln,
where they were in use for a
number of years and that several
damage suits had been started
by persons from falling on the
smooth surface of the plates and
injuring themselves.
The matter of the contract for
he permanent sidewalk work for
the ensuing year was taken up
and the contract let to Peters &
Richards, the lowest bidders, as
follows: Resident districts,
walks He per foot; business dis
trict, 13c per 'foot; crossings, 23c
per foot; portable crossings at
factory, 13c; delivered, 17c a foot.

A communication, was also
presented to the council from
John Cory, the owner of the
lotel Perkins, asking permission
to erect a large covered porch in
front of his building twenty-two
feet Wide and extending to the
edge of of the curb, and seven
teen feet high, so as not to inler-
ere with the traffic on the walk.
The matter was referred lo the
judiciary committee..
Councilman Harris of the
cemetery committee reported that
there was some work needed at
the cemetery in painting the well
there and the placing of some
signs on the south gate of the
cemetery. ,
Councilman Ilallstrom of the
ighting committee reported that
le . had notified the Nebraska
lighting company to place an arc
ight at the corner of Fifth and
Main streets, and the company
had agreed to send for the lamp
at once and install it at the cost
of $8 per month.
Councilman Buttery of the
police committee stated that he
thought that it was time that
there was something done in the
matter of a new city jail and the
basement o,f.the city hall ought
to be looked .over to see what was
needed in this regard, as there
was constant need of a place to

keep the city prisoners.
Mr. Ilallstrom expressed bis
view that the city should have
some place fixed where the valua
ble papers and books, in the
clerk s olTice could be kept where
they would be safe from being
destroyed in case of fire, and
suggested that the city fix some
place or make arrangements to
store them in a vault where they
would be safe. He did not favor
the idea of a city jail, as he
thought the county jail could be
used as cheaply as the room fix
ed up in the basement of the city
hall.
Chairman Bestor of the streets,
alleys and bridges committee re
ported on the matter of the plac
ing of bridges on Locust street by
the commissioners of the county,
and stated that the committee
had met with the commissioners
and favored the placing of a 0x0
concrete culvert, in place of the
bridges, as they would be ample
to carry off the water and would
permit of the street being made
sixty feet wide and leave a space
fur a. sidewalk, .whereas the
bridges would necessitate the
placing of an addition bridge for
the purpose of a sidewalk. He
stated the commissioners were
willing to do this if the city would
resume the responsibility for any
damage caused by the overflow
of water.
A large number of the coun
cilmen expressed the same view
of the matter, and on motion o
Buttery the clerk was instructe
to notifv the commissioners that
the city would accept the pro
position for the culvert and as
sume all liability in the matter
Application for pool hall li
censes were received from A. M
Arries and Dunbar & Bates, ac
companied by the fees, and the
applications were granted as
prayed for.
The mayor called the attention
of the council to the fact that the
new ordinance creating the park
commission had become effective
and presented to the council the
names of J. P. Falter, William
Ballance and Charles F. Martin
as members of the commission
which was confirmed by the
council unanimously.
Councilman Patterson of the
First ward called the attention of
his colleagues to the fact that the
water company had lowered their
mains on North Sixth street,
whern they- were too near the
surface, and desired to know who
would be responsible for any
damage caused by the placing of
the curbing and guttering on the
oose dirt of the filled-in dilche
City Attorney Tidd stated that
the only way was to require the
water company to put up a bond
to cover anv damage that might
be caused. On. motion of Mr
Slreight a bond of $500 was re
quired of the water company to
protect the city from damage. Mr.
Sinclair, superintendent of the
water company, was present, and
addressing the council stated
that, the wafer company had not
been notified of the nearness of
heir mains to the surface and
had lowered them as soon as they
earned of it, without the neces
sity of a notification, and if the
dirt was allowed a few days to
settle they could be sure of it not
injuring the guttering, but on a
day's notice they could do noth
ing in regard to the matter.
Council Patterson of the fin
ance committee reported that the
lue prints of the new curb and
guttering district No. G, on North
Third street, had been received,
and a motion was passed auth
orizing the mayor and council to
advertise for bids for the work.
Councilman Lushinsky of the
"ourth ward reminded the coun
cil that last fall William Holly
was notified to replace the wood
en walk on the east side of his
milding with a permanent one,
and the work had not been done,
and on motion the clerk was
ordered to notify Mr. Holly to
place the permanent walk down
at once.
After the consideration of a
number of other matters of
street work the city "dads" ad
journed to meet two weeks hence.

Palatable Remedies.
People used to have the wrong
idea that medicines of tin? most
horrid taste had the best effect
on t lie human body. The modern
physician tries to make his rem

the patient take them readily.
Such a preparation is Triner's
American Elixir of Hitter Wine,
which has an agreeably bitter
taste. It is very helpful in all
conditions in which it is neces

body needs new strength and

ANOTHER YEAR AT LEAST
At the meeting of the grand
chapter of the Order of Eastern
Star of Nebraska, being held at
Lincoln this week, the question
of the Eastern Star Orphans'
Home, which is located here, was
brought up, on a report from Col.

age here is located in the Yallery
residence, which is on the plot of
ground owned by the Masonic
IJome association, in the west
part part, of the city, and during
the past two years that the Home
has been in existence there has
been quite a large number of lit
tle folks cared for here. The
orphans are looked after by Miss
Margaret Mills, as matron, and
they receive the best of care un
der her watchful eye, and this
great auxiliary of the Masonic
fraternity, and here a home has
been provided for many orphans
of the order who have been de
prived of the protection of their
parents. The orphanage is
beautifully situated and the little
folks here have an opportunity to
get out and enjoy the fresh air
and the healthy atmosphere of the
country and not be kept confined
to the city's heat during the sum
mer -months.
