Arrangements should bo made for
some systematic cleaning of the paved

there will not bo so much dust flying ,
and when it rains there will not bo so

washes off the little dirt that may chance
to bo on the streets , making them cleaner
than over. Instead of making several
inches of mud , as is the case hero.
Officer Kirk had quite a struggle yes
terday with a man giving the name of
Dragoo , who had just paid oft a ohattlo
mortgage on some stock , and having some

board that ho was going to throw brick
bats at some who offended him and shoot
others. Ho gave the officer a hard tussle ,
and his wind had to bo choked ofl two or

There Is at the police station a young
man , who appears to bo out of his head.
Ho was found lying in the roar of the
masonic building , and seems reticent as
to himself. Yesterday ho was questioned
for some time , and the information
gleaned that ho had boon In the insane
asylum ef Cook county , Illinois , and that
ho had run away from there. Ho also
stated that ho had once been in the peni
tentiary at JoIIet , but would not eay for
what crime. Ho gives his name as Wil

his homo or relatives.

ployes at the stable collared him and
forced a settlement. The young fellow
drew a chock on one of the banks , and
offered Ithls , hut It appearing that
ho probably had no money In the
bank , it was Insisted that ho
must put up some of his clothing ,
which ho did , going off in a sadly undressed -
dressed condition. Ho was afterwards
arrested , and as a final compromise he
pawned some of his clothes , and paid the
livery bill , and the matter was dropped.

Dalrsmple Seated ,
The Chieftainship of the Fire De
partment Still in Dispute ,
Arrangements for Entertaining Jown
Editorn-Othcr Doings of
tbo Council ,
For the first time in several days the
six aldermen managed to all got Into the
council chamber at ono time , yoiterday
afternoon at a little past 4 o'clock ' , the
hour Bet for the daily meeting. The
mayor was in Omaha , and it was Informally -
ally decided to wait until the arrival of
the dummy train , so as to give him a
chance to bo present. The time of wait
Ing was spent In whispered consultations
as to what should bo done , and how the
squabble should bo settled.
On the arrival of the mayor , Alderman
Siodentopf requested that the mayor
should call the roll , as there was a dig.
puto about the clerkship , and they did
not care to rocogniza Mr. Troutraan as
clerk. The mayor did so , first stating
that the matter had boon Bottled and Mr ,
Troutaan would retire at the closa of
the meeting , or the passage of the rosolu
tlon which had been prepared.
Alderman Siodentopf then presented
the resolution , which road as follows :
Whereas , There seems to bo a friendly
but honest dlfliorenco of opinion existing
as to the rights and powers of the coun
cil to elect annually its subordinate
officers , and
Whereas , The city's Interests are being
neglected by reason of eald dlfforenco of
opinion , and as It is imperative by statute
that the board of equalisation meet dally ,
therefore bo It
Resolved , That E , A. Troutman be re
quested to deliver the books , paper * , and
other property , In his hnndg , belonging
to the city , as city clerk and clerk of the
superior court , to A. Dalrymple , the
clerk-elect , and that the auditor bo and
ho la hereby instructed to withhold any
money that may hereafter become doe to
the city clerk , and clerk of the superior
court , until said differences are eatisfao
torlly adjutted , it being the Intention of
the council that In the event of a judicial
deciUon favorable to the position taken
by E. A. Troutman and his friends , that
the salary of said offices shall be paid to
the said E. A. Troutman ; and bo It fur
therResolved
Resolved , Thatwe raturn to the Hon.
E. A. Trontman a vote of thanks for the
able and faithful manner In which he his
failed said petition as city clerk and clerk
I of the superior court , and that the audi
tor be instruoted to draw a warrant for
the amount duo Mr. Troutman as salary
up ! to and including this day.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Mr. Troutman , on the adoption of the
resolution arose and said that ho under
stood that the purpose of the resolution
was to drive him into litigation , but he
said to those who had boon elected on
the to-called "citizens1" ticket that If , In
view of their promises , they could afford
to ' draw party lines , ho conld afford to
submit to the action of the council , Ho
Id not care to litigate the matter , as It
ras n difference between the mayor and
he council , and not for him to take upon
Imsolf personally to dccldo.
The mayor assured the clerk that head
ad many friends In and out of the coun
cil , but that there wasdangor of the city's
ntorosts suffering , and his friends there-
ore thought it beat for him to retire.
IIo suggested that Mr. Trontman bo cm-
loyod to assist the now clerk , and to
; olp the city attorney in some caaca
ending In the court , the period of such
imploymont to continue throe or four
ooks.
Several of the aldermen spoke favora-
ily of this suggestion , but while Mr.
Trontman expressed himself as willing to
"olp the now clerk as far as posilblo , and
Jvo him any needed Information , still ho
was oxpccting to leave the olty , and get
mploymont elsewhere , and ho conld not ,
ndor the circumstances , accnpt of such
temporary position as was suggested.
The now city clerk , Mr. Dalrymplo ,
hen took his scat and proceeded to keep
ho minutes , while the old clerk disposed
if papois on the table with wbich ho was
moro familiar.
The squabble in regard to the chief of
ho fire department is to bo disposed of
ator. It Is claimed that this Issue has
iomo phases peculiar to itself and dlfl'or-
ng from those In the clerk's contest.
The old clerk claimed to hold his office
by virtue of the statutes , while the chief
holds under a city ordinance. The mi
nority of the council , by its action , have
conceded that they were in the wrong
about the construction of the
statute , but they are not yet willing to
concede that they are wronsc In their
views as to the ordinance under which
the old chief holds onto the office. It has
boon a hard dose to swallow , in regard to
the clerk , and It la hardly to bo expected
that they would willingly swallow the
other d SB , to the chief of the lire
department.
The bonds and oath of the now poll-
tax collector , 0. J. Bookman , wore presented -
sonted , approved aud filed.
The city attorney presented a number
of reports on sundry matters.
Alderman Bhugart offered a resolution
Instructing each alderman to keep a
record of the number of dirt tickets
issued by him , so that the city could
know at any time Its liability In this re
spect. Adopted unanimously.
The question of sewering Fifth avenue ,
so that the now court honso could bo ac
commodated , was referred to the com
mittee , so that a plan could ba presented
next Monday night , for securing the im
provement.
The mayor called attention to the fact
that the Iowa press association was to
meet hero Juno 0 , preparatory to start
ing on Its western trip. Ho thought the
newspaper men should bo enter
tained in la manner becoming
to such a city and such an Important
gathering. Ho wanted the council to
take some appropriate action.
I ' ,0n motion of 'Alderman Siodentopf
the mayor and the whole council were
appointed a committee to arrange for
entertaining the gentlemen , in conjunc
tion with the board of trade.
The council then adjourned , and the
aldermen as a board of equalization went
to work on the assessors' books.
Tired of Ufa.
News reached this city yesterday of
the death of Mr. Harris , an old and
prominent druggist of Oreston. It ap
pears that ho died of an overdose of mor
phine , taken , it is thought , with suicidal
Intent , though the cause for such an act
does not appear , his family life being
happy and his business prosperous.
