The New City Hall. The city needs a city hall , and needs it badly. The officials have been looking about , and in order to get some idea as to the practicability of building on the present site , have concluded to take the preliminary steps in condemning some ground so as to enlarge the present site. The commissioners appointed were John Mulqueen , David Gray , K. B. Bowman. J. A. Churchill , James Wickham and James Mithun. The following is the award made by them : Heirs of.I.

For a week past there has been a fellow hanging about one portion of the Fourth ward grossly insulting ladies , until it be came so unendurable thatit was reported to the oilicers , and the fellow was ar rested on a complaint filed by one of thu ladies. He gave his name as Ed Ander son , but Ills right name is said to be Aplin. It appeared that ho had been drinking heavily for some time past , and was so nearly on the verge of delirium tremens as to be hardly responsible for his acts. He seems iu fact a sad wreck. In view of his physical condition Judge Aylesworth sent him to jail for thirty days , hoping that the weaning of whisky would bring him to a rcali/.ation of how Jew lie had got. Aplin has been a sew ing machine agent , and is said to be an excellent canvasser , but has got clear down by whisky. Had he been sober his indecent acts would have justified a much severer punishment. What is it at No. 401 Broadway ? Contractors are invited to inspect our gooas and prices on tools and hardware. Cole & Cole , 41 Main street. New tilings in dress goods just received at Ilarkness Bros. Mutiairn Park. I. M. Hay , the Minneapolis capitalist , who represents a syndicate formed there , was at the Pacific house Monday night and yesterday went to Lincoln , expect ing to return here in a few days. Ho has prepared a plat of the 100 acres at Lake Manawa , which is owned by the syndicate which ho represents. The land is laid out in lots 50x200 , and the map of Manawa Park , as tlio place is called , is adorned with pictorial representations vividly portraving what this season will disclose in fact. There is a picture of the new hotel to be built there at a cost of $35,000 ; a picture of the amusement hall , views of the lake with steamboats and pleasure parties , and other represen tations of bow the improvements will ap pear when completed. The new motor railway has a place in the pictoral adorn ments of the map , and the cars loaded with ladies and gentlemen ana children is a prediction in ink which bids fair to become one of fact. These Minneapolis gentlemen are in earnest , and thorn seems to be a solid foundation for their expectation of making Manawa Park one of the favorite resorts of the west. Its nearness to these two cities , the popular ity .which caused such a rush there last .season , even in its rude condition , makes it certain that with those improvements there will be n greater enthusiasm than ever.
