'.. wo-y s s i 'T the Board r AMemn ef the Ctty fate Cleat Sec 12, of chapter 14 of the com .piled statatesof Nebraska, relating to cities of the second class provides, that 'the mayor shall from time to time communicate to the city council such information and recommend Buch measures as in his opinion may tend to the improvement and -general prosper ity of the-city. Incompliance there with reports of the various departments have been prepared and placed in your hands foHnspection and consideration to which arc here briefly appended such suggestions and recommendations as have seemed to me proper. TREASURY. A full report of the financial condi tion of the city has been placed before the-council by the treasurer, It is only necessary for me here to state that the general expenses of the city have fallen very much below the estimate, made therefor and the balance re maining in the general fund has been used'forthe extension of the system of water works. WATER SUPPLY. The fixtures for water supply are barely completed to the extent of the means furnished for that purpose and it is too soon to determine as to their adequacy. There is every reason however to believe that in both quality and quantity the supply will prove enubintly satisfactory, both for fire protection and domestic purposes. All indebtedness for every portion of the system and foi all labor performed, thereon has been fully paid ercecptinir a small balance on the stani pipe which has bee 1 held in the treasury on ac count of improper workmanship in it coiLpiction. The finances of the city have been strained to the uttenmxt the council and empowered to enforce an improved hygienic condition of the city and its surroundings. Fire limits shonld be established ob the principal streets within which the erec tion of wooden buildings should be pro hibited. I trust it is not necessary for me to state that' these recommendations are not tendered with any assumption of snper- Vlrr Department. At the regular meeting last night of ior wisdoni.JjjThey are simply the results of a year of carefuland unprejudiced observation. No man is fitted to fill any executive or legislative office in your city who cannot see at the end of his term many things which should be accomplish ed for the', gcomfort, :happiness and well being of its citizens. The present council have had crowded upon them a vast amount of work which could not be delayed and ', thus some of the matters above recommended have necessarily re mained unconsidered. The succeeding administration will doubtlcs be able to devote more time to the consideration of the general affairs of the city. I take this opportunity to tender to each member of the council and to all the city officers my heartfelt thanks for many kindnesses received at their hands. In the light of the present I am conscious of many errors in the year which has past. Many things have been done and many things permitted which might have been more wisely ordered. In all thing and at all times however I have relied upon your honest determination to act for the future interests of the city and for the ! greatest irood of the atrreatest number. On no occasion has there been caue to regrot this confidence. The future will show to the inhabitants of this city that your work of the past year i the most important part of its history. Tim men who unflinchingly bore criticism4 and n .jvoache? not always just and reasonable and went patiently and manfully forward ttiefire department at their hall the bids which hadjbeen received for a 1200 pound firebell and fixtures were opened and submitted to'the depart ment after going over all business rel ative to the purchasing of a bell it was agreed by the department to place the matter within the hands of the board of trustees with orders to pro ceed at once and procure a bell, so the city will at an early date have a chance to listen to a first class fire bell.

An Enslislunai WIio Has Worn One for Fully six Yean,. A cise in which the operation of tracheot omy proved strife iugly successful has just .co-no under our notice, says the J'all Jln'.l Gazette. It is that of a mau, formerly a sol dier, who had thn incision into the wind 21pc made sis yej-rs ago, ami who wears the tracheotomy tube at the present mo ment, lie was a private in the ltoval En gineers, and took p-irt in the Egyptian cam paign of 11. being present at fel-cl-Kcbir. i line m kgjirt he drank some bad water, and this induced a blood poisoning, which, ultimately took the form of deep-seated ab scesses in the neck. lie returned from Egypt, arriving in this country some time in October, l.', and at once became a pa tient, at tlnl!nvnl -Uititnri, Tfns..;.ni o...u amptcn. The man describes the operation as being only a little painful. The previous difficulty in breathing had been so great that if the incision into the windpipe- had caused much pain that pain was over whelmed by the great relief which followed the operation. He remained in the hosni- talfoi-sonic months, but finally lcftnuito cured. Ho linds but little discomfort or incon venience ia wearing the tracheotomy tube. Ho can not speak without rirst putting Ins finder to his neck to close the oplicc of the tube. The reason for this is obvious. Voice is caused by the. vibration of the vocal chords in the larynx, and to set them vibra ting a current of air from the lungs is re quired. The incision of tracheotomy being made in the windpipe below the larvnx, enough air to vibrate the vocal chords can not no obtained until the orifice is closed. In count vi-niirt of Webster coiu.ty.
