M. O. Maul esi | . , of Omaha , was in the
cityycsloiday in attendance upon tlie
grand lodge of the ICnighls of I'.stbia'J ,
and other business. The. mysterious
murder of Doling Hugan , son-in-J.iw to
John Morrison , the tailor , of this city ,
will be reuiembeied by most , everyone.
Mr. M ' was coroner of Douglas eouuly
at the t iiic of I lagan's demise. HaganS
body was fouml in the river al Oiuab.i
June 80th , 1HSI , and siueo that time
cllbrts to lind his murderer or any elue

futile.
Yesterday afternoon Mi' . Maul went lethe

Hagan at tin1 time of bin death. H was

The conr.se Chancellor Maunatt is pur
suing toward one of the literary so
cieties ( the new one , I'liilodieean , organ
ized about 0.110 year ago ) , will not vv in
him the uniwrs/il esteem among the
students , nor vvlll he obtain the most
enviable reputation throughout tin ; state
when the .situation is fully understood.
b > Thu chancellor has at his disposal all [ lie
, i rooms and balls of thu university build
ing. The Philodicean .society have per
sistently petitioned him through the
faculty for a society hull. Thu laeultv ,
with one or two exceptions , have strongly
indicated to the haneellor that the peti
tion of the society should bo granted.
Hit has finally consented to oiler the
chapel temporarily on certain condi
tions namely , that the society give
the use of its piano for chapel exercises
and all other university purposes , also
tliut. the society yield the chapel olio
Friday nigbl out of every four weeks.
The society looks upon this oiler as a
galling insult considering Ibo fact that
it voluntarily granted tlm use of the
piano for university uses during the past
year. The society thinks that the chan
cellor fihonld expect from it a reasonably
fair thing without entering into any con
tract.
Every successive action of the chan
cellor gives credence to the well support
ed opinion that he strangely favors the
system of one man power. More of a
of a ruler than counselor. 1'refer to dic
tate to the students rather than advise.
Demands an humble .submission to his
arbitrary mandates.

The regular meeting of the eily coun

present.
CO.MMUNICA1IONS AMI VIJTITIOSS.
From the major , approving the ordi
nance providing for the construction of
n city ball and submitting the name to
the ejectors of the elty ol Omaha for rat-
iliention ; : IMI certain oilier ordinances
passed al thu last regular meeting of the
council. Approved.
From Iho mayor , approving the appro
priation ordinance with the exception of
the item of ifT.'ISJ.-JJIin favor of the city
water works company , as the oily attor
ney gives tlii' following opinion :
Hon. J.-K. I5ovtDear Sir My atten
tion has been called by the auditor to an
item of over $ it.0)0 ) allowed lo the city
water works company in the lasl appro
priation ordinance. This ilein covers a
claim Hindi' by the waterworks company
for lowering its pipes in tlie streets to
conform to tlie grades.
This was doiu without any knowledge
on Hut part of the city that any such
claim would be made , and without an
inspector or the city being m any waj
represented so as to be on.ibled to keep
an account or record of the work done or
of the laborers' time.
The original bill , which h dated Do-
eemiier 1,5 , WI , find cover.s fifteen pages
of writing , is in my possession , and never
having been called tor 1 supposed the
water works eonipany had abandoned
all idea of attempting further to obtain
its allowance , for 1 bad given my unrutal-
Hied opinion that the city \vas not liable
in any of the items set forth to thu es.tent
of one dollar.
This 1 stated to Iho committee lo
whom the mutter was inferred , and
to oilier eouucilmcn who asked
me concerning it. 1 was greatly sur
prised , therefore , to learn that the last
appropriation ordinance covered and in
cluded the item , which I believe is an
improper if not a 1'raiulnlent , claim
against the i ity.
It my position as to the liability of the
eitv is correct , the city , by allowing this
bill , would not only be out upwards of
Jjli.OUl ) , but a dangerous and cosily pre
cedent would be established.
On precisely the same grounds the gas
company vvould Iv claiming , I know not
how much , but probably upwards of
This telegraph and telephone com
panies will also lo ) on baud vvitli.their
demands in the shajiu ot a long list of
items for expenses in lowering poles ,
changing wires , etc.
The hoi e railway company would
equally bo entitled to compensation. If
the granting of valuable franchises to
corporations to use. our public .streets is
to be fraught with such consequences as
these , is it not about time to call a halt
and consider where our intiiro liabilities
will end. I make this statement at lengtli
that you may see and understand the
situation.
I would suggest that you rcfnso to sign
the warrant for the. present , at least , if
not until the liability of the city is de
termined by the courts.
At the next meeting of the. council , 1
think the appropriation ordinance , so far
as it relates to or authorizes the. payment
of the claim referred to , should bo re
pealed. Yours verv truly.
City Attorney.
Mr. Fnray characterized the bill as an
outright steal , and he was in favor of up
holding the nuuor. Ho .said that
if there ever was anything
that bad the appearance ot rob
bery this bill curtniuly has , for it bears
all the distinguishing marks of a job to
steal from the city treasury. If he signed
the report of the lire ana water works
committee recommending tlio payment
of the bill , he was not aware of it. lint
if his name does appear on the report , ho
charged the chairman of the committee
( Mr. Leeder ) with securing tlio signature
by misrepresentation.
j\lr. \ Leedcr stated that he had turned
the matter over to City Attorney Council
for his opinion on the matter.
Mr. Council said that the matter had
been lur led over to him , and that ho had
ailvtiM d ( ho chairman ot the committee
not to recommend the passing of the bill.
Mr. Lccdcr then said that ho did not
believe he had ever signed such a report ,
and lie further believed no such report had
over been made , llo believed that the
anditot had simuly placed the bill in Iho
appropriation ordinance without recom
mendation from the committeo.
Mayor Uoyd then asked permission to
delend the auditor. He staled that his
attention had bcun called to the item by
the auditor , who wished to kuow how it
could bo allowed. The report of the
committee was produced and all the
members of the lire ami water works
committee had signed it.
Messrs. Lender , 1'uray and ( lopdrich
each denied any knowledge of signing
the report , and it was sugge.steu that
forgery had been committed.
A vote was then taken on the veto , and
the mayor was unanimously snstajned.
Mr. Fumy moved that a committee of
three , not members of the committee on
fire and water works , be appointed , and
that an investigation be made to see if a
forgery had been committed. Tito reso
lution passed and the president appoint
ed as such committee Messrs. Lee ,
Thrano and Dailoy.

The stock commission firm of O'llara
& Co. , South Omaha , has collapsed in a
sudden ami unexpected manner. The
senior member , O'Hara , was the only
visible partner in this vicinity.jind seems
to be solely responsible lor
tiio linn's disaster. Ho has lived
high and squandered money
in the most reckless manner , nothing
being too rich for Ins blood , apparently.
In this iashion he has managed to run
through some S OOtl or S'J.OU ' ! ) , and ho has
sported like u prince. O'llara has
been backed in his business
here by N. II. Warner , u wealthy cattle
man of Chicago , who furnished him
$1,000 to establish himself. Warner has
continued to provide him v\iti ! money
until it became evident that it would done
no good , and ho has now withdrawn his
financial backing and cast Mr. O'llara
adrift to paddle his own canoe. Mr.
Warner published notice of this fact in
the HBI : some days since , but O'llara A :
CD. seemed to have struggled along until
yesterday. O'llara is a conspicuously
'appearing young fellow , about six feet
tall , smooth'tace. and addicted to broad
hats and lop boots , after the style ot the
mule-skinner. It is hoped that this ex
perience will prove salutary to him.
Senator Van " \Vyck.
SruiisNlMt , Neb. , Oct. 13. 18Sj. Editor
ltiu : : The communication that appeared
in your paper of last evening from a
Madison county democrat , has been com
mented upon to a considerable extent by
both democrats and republicans in this
place. The comments arc not so much
upon the plan that correspondent sug
gests for Senator Van Wyek's return to
United Slates senate as upon the more
important question , the result.
It is pretty generally conceded that
"Our Van" is the man to succeed hjm-
self. Hi ) has proven himself nn untiring
worker when the interests of tlio people
were at Make ; and his voice lias ever
been raised against the great monopolies
of the country , that were growing fat
upon unjust land grants , and high if
not exorbitant freight and passenger
tariflb.
To him dozens of poor farmers along
the St. Joe Ss Denver railroad ovvo their
homes , and when the day comes for an
expression of a senatorial preference , the
result cannot bo uncertain. The verdict
will be for Van Wyck. "A friend in need
is a friend indeed , " and if the senator
did not prove himself such to those poor ,
struggling farmers who were endeavor
ing to establish homes upon our western
prairies , by coming forward at the time
they worn ordered oil" the land they had
cho'sen , and raised his voice in earnest
protest in their behalf , spent bis time
and money in defeating the railroad
claim , no man that ever served in the
United States senate over proved himself
n friend to his constituents. And those
men remember that light. Every farmer
In Nebraska has the tacts of that contest
earelully stored away in his memory , and
will iise'them when the time comes.
Now that tlio farmers have a man in
the United States senate who seems to
understand their needs , uml who takes
every occasion to prove himself their
friend , they will see th.it he is not de
feated by a railroad ring from Omaha.
"Our Van" is safe m the hands of his
constituents. KI.I.ON.

"GonencHs" is hard to define scientific
ally , yet yon know what it is when it
overcomes you. It is u compound of las-
fiitmlu , debility and "tlio misorables , "
llavored with a seasoning of "tho blues. "
Now you know. To got rid of "gone-
