In the inanngomrnl of lighting the city Is
of the greatest Importance. It means a
largo amount of money saved , increased
comfort and convenience to the citizens
and above all it n a necessary atop to
ward the economical administration of
municipal affairs. Yes , the city father's
cannot bo true to the interests of their
constituents unless they overhaul the
entire gas business. The fact la the com
pany has not lived up to its contract witli
the city at all. "
What wa the condition of the lamps
when youaasumod your oflicinl duties on
the 5th of October laat ?
"Dlcidodly dolapidatod" replied Mr.
Gilbert. "In fact out of the , ' 100 apolo-
os for street lamps in the city there
was scarcely ono fit to light the respecta
ble OmahoR through dipnity'a way. Ful
ly three fifths were really uaolosa because
of broken glass and clogged burners , the
latter being the main cauao of defect.
You BOO the lamp-black ao readily formed
by the vapory generation from thia water
gaa had completely clothed the burners
making their five inch capacity loaa than
three inches and in many cases shutting
out all chance of illumination. The
amps in mo in thia city have no ventila
tion and where the pressure is the
trongost there Is sure to bo a breakage
of glass every time thny are lighted. 1
"lavo already shut off 275 lamps for which
; ho city waa paying and receiving of
con roe 110 equivalent whatever. The
city's contract with the RUB
orapany expressly states that
the latter must furnish the posts ,
put them up wherever directed by the
council and provide yas lampa that cost
not loss than $1 50 apiece. Instead of
tomplying with thia requirement wo find
hat the city itself has. been paying for
ho lampa and the expense of Betting
.hem them up. In fact the Omaha street
amps are not gia lamps at all , but com-
non coal oil lamps , arranged to act on
wooden poats and would hardly bo toler
ated in a well regulated village. Still
the gaa company la paid ? ; ! ' ! per year for
malntalng theao illumination apologias.
Formerly the lamps were hardly ever
iloanod , an indifferent attempt to do ao
being made about once in five wooka ,
in reality justice would not bo
ilono if the lamps were gene over every
ther day. The fact IB , the present im
perfect nnylo ot lamp and the inferior
quality of gas furnished precludes ull poi-
bibllity of keeping the glaaa clean. I
have made live careful oxpcrimonto in
thia matter and in every instance I
found that a Ump lighted to-night would
bo almost unfit for use to-morrow night
on account of dirt.
"How much does the city pay the gaa
company for erecting the poata and fur
nishing the lamps ? "
"Thoy pay $22 npleco , while the ac
tual ooat at thu farthest ctnnot bo more
than § 10 for rach peat , $ L 50 for each
'amp and 81 50 for putting up the poatn
and lamp. "
"Who 1ms to ntand' the brunt of the
breakage in glaaa ? "
"That's tvhiU takoa tbo wind out of
my sulos completely , " was the reply.
\Vould you believe it , the city bos to
foot the billa for all the broken glass , and
give you my word that there ia a now
lamp broken every night on St. Mary's
avenue and the high places where the
pressure ia greatest. Among my rocom-
nipndatlona to the council la ono to the
effect that the gaa company stand thia ox-
poniu' . I nloo advised that fifty now

and that on thu principal bininosa atrcota

Q. T "Liivitt , the county clork. His
litest act of bonorolonao consisted in
hia giving a dinner to about fifteen bootblacks -
blacks and newsboys Saturday.
The Tenth atroot mission hdioi hid
baon aorvinc ; lunchoi and dinners in Fal-
cDnnr'u hall for two d ys past iu order to
ralso fund ] to pay oil'some dobttj of the
association and to further their word dur
ing the coming winter. Mr. Laavitt do-
slrod to help the work along and do3irinu
to help in two ways , conceived the ido *
of giving ihouowRbays and bootblacks a
dinner and accordingly did so.
The happy faces of the little follows as
they stowed aw.iy the good things in
nnormoua quantities , was reward enough
to Mr. Leavitt , and who knows but the
kindly words spoken and thia chriatlan act
may not bo the means of awakening in
the bosoms of aomo of those little street
Araba thoughts of manhood which nuy
ultimately lead them on to future groat'
in si and renown.
In after ycars.long after the occurrence
of Saturday has faded from Mr. Loavitt's
memory , the little follows who ho thus
bnfrionded will riao up to o ll htm
blessed , and ho will bo called upon to
realize the truth of that old saying , "cant
thy broad upon the waters and it shall
return to thee nftr many days. "

by AVntcr nnd Fliiincs ,
A feeling of insecurity pervaded this
community upon its retirement Saturday
evening that it would bo aroused by an
' alarm of firo. Thia premonition , which
aroao from the dangers of the first cold
weather of winter , was well founded.
Yesterday morning about half-past
five a well-known sporting man of thia
| city , upon going homo from a night with
curds , saw , near the corner of Thirteenth
and Farnam streets , araoko curling up
from ( the roar of the cigar store occupied
by Stevens Bros. , immediately in the
rear < of the Commercial National Dank.
Word was at once given to the police and
an alarm of Gro turned in from box 42
by Oflicor Buckley. The fire when fint
son by the police had gained consider
able headway , the whole store being lit
up by the llamca. The
department upon its arrival
was unable to open the noarast plug , and
some time was lost in their futile eliorU.
Two streams were filially turned into the
burning store from Thirteenth street.
Pho fire by this time had communicated
with the adjoining buildings , and foara of
a general conflagration in that corner en
sued. A line of pipe through the alloy
was next laid and a stream turned against
the Duildings from their rear. Water waa
also thrown through the front of the
store occupied by General Frederick ,
which , with itn contents , waa also ablaze.
After working for about ono half hour
the department got the fire undercontrol ,
and before an hour had elapsed it was
entirely oxtlnguishod.

ifbe the ono occupied by Stevona Broa. can

in such cases falls upon the occupants.
0.fit II. Frederick , the hatter , Buffered the
greatest loss. His damages ariao more
from water than from firo. Ho had juat
received hia winter supply of furs otc
which ! ho had shelved iu the rear of the
atoro where ho was attacked by firo.
Theao were all thoroughly drenched , and
many of them will bo utterly ruined.

Buirurors by the fire , whoso loss will not
exceed $800 or $1,000. Barker &
Mayno and the Nebraska coal & lime
company are damaged also to the extent
ofS200or $300. The Commercial .Na

fire at ono time was burning , eacapod

Where the fire started la not defiuitoly

these vfho worked at the fire believed it
originated. The general opinion ia that it
was communicated to the building from
a hard coal steve situate in a email room i
in the roar of thia building. It ia said
this room waa occupied until about 2 or
3 o'clock Sunday morning , nnd ia though
the lire amoulderrd there for a couple of
