The board of trnilo took the freight bu reau under its protecting wing last even ing , and will hereafter chapcrono that branch of Omaha's business niaohmery at the maximum expense of $3,500 , per year. The board met in regular session' hi the restaurant hall in the new board of trade building , at 9 o'clock. In the absence of presiding ofllccrs A. D. Jones was nomi nated as president. Mr. Wheeler moved that a committee of three be appointed to report at the next meeting on an order of business , which , when adopted , shall be the order of business of the board. The motion prevailed and D. H. Wheeler , C. S. Chase and John A. Wakelield were appointed. Alayor-Elcct Hroatch's resignation io chairman of the committee on the soldi iers and sailors reunion was received and accepted. Edwin Davis was ap pointed as a member of the committee and it was determined that the committee - too should select its own chairman. Mr. Gibson reported that the commit tee to select grounds for the soldiers aud sailors reunion Had secured proper grounds at Cut-oft' laKo. A letter was received from S. W. Mor- riuni , manager of the Times at Marshall- town , asking if some reliable person could bo secured from the board of trade in Omaha to send to the Times dsily , tlio grain and stock markets of this city. It was referred to the committee on trans portation. The letter says : "lowu ship pers are beginning to inquire after tlie Omaha markets , which the Associated press slights. " A letter was read from the milling firm of D. Shellabargcr & Co. , of lo- cat u r , stating that they would be unable to put in as large a mill as was desired by the Omalia board of trade. W. J. WelshansstateU that ho know the firm of Shellabarger iV : Co. , and re garded them as onu of the most prog ressive milling firms in the country. lie regarded them as very desirable people to secure. The letter was referred again to the committee on manufactures. A communication from W. J. Iloder- baugli , of DCS Moines , asking for assist ance to open a coal mine at Hunncls , Ja. , which covered COD acres and make Omaha the distributing point , was re ferred to the committee on meteorology. J. Krait & Co. , of Galeaburp , 111. , wrote that they have wholesale dye" works and indigo print works which they will move from Galesburg owing to a lack of water at that point. They desire to come to Omaha if they can get suitable induce ments. The communication was referred to the committee ou manufactures. The reference to the communication of Shollabuarer & Co. to the committee on manufactures was reconsidered and the matter was rofered to W. J. Welslians and W. K. Clark to give it their personal attention. A proposition from John J. Ross , of the Now York World , to come to Omaha and write the city up descriptively ana pietoriallv was referred to G. M. Hitch cock of the Omaha World , who at the last meeting stated that lie was formulat ing a plan for the proper ailvertisoment of Omaha. The following letter from N. F. Ben nett & Son , of Waj no , Neb. , was read : "Wo have just returned from Yankton. concerning railroad matters. Wo feel satislied amost beyond adoubt hataroad from Omaha to Yanklon will Do built this summer if we work it hard enough and raise the bonus. Wo expect committees from along the proposed line to meet your Omaha bhsiness men in R very short time in Omaha. The parties w'ho are furnishing the money will meet us at the same time , and we see no reason why a definite conclusion cannot bo reached and a set of engineers put on the road and keep them there until the location is completed. A survey should be started at once. This is the feeling in Wayne , Yankton and Cedar counties , and"we want the balance of the route to feel the same way if wo over expect a road. " The eqmmunicatoin was referred to the committee on transportation. The report o' the freight bureau spe cial committee , which was the chief business before the meeting , was then taken up , and gave rise to earnest dis cussion. Champion S. Chase antagon ized the whole project. Ho believed that the constitution ang by-laws of the board of trade would not permit the incorpora tion within it of an institution which should have unlimited access to its treasury. The milk in the cocoanut was , ho said , that after ten years of straggles the board of trade had succeeded in getting a build ing and property worth $200.000 , and everybody wanted a piece of it. That was the whole thing. He believed a very respectable number of members of the board of trade would enjoin any action which might contemplate use of the money of the board toward the benefit of the freight bureau. The bureau bad been unable to live of itself. It now wanted the support , the financial back ing , of the board of trade. Ho did not believe that the board was pursuing the proper course. He would bo in favor of taking 00 or fl.OOO or even * 2,000 out of the treasury of the board and help the freight bureau , but ho was decidedly op posed to allowing the latter to come in and make unlimited drafts upon the treasury of the board , Mr. Wakelield took an opposite view to Mr. Chase. Ho regarded the freight bureau as a valuable auxiliary of the business of the city. It was proposed , by the report of the committee , to make ail members of the board of trade members of the freight bureau without cost to themselves , or , to give them the benefits of its services gratuitously. In return for this the board of trade only assumed responsibility for the expenses of the freight bureau and had all receipts from membership in that bureau of all persons who were not members of the board. Mr. red Gray referred to the particu lar section in the rulee of the freight bu reau committee which was objectionable as being rule 10 and reading as follows : "The expenses of the bureau shall be paid out of the treasury of the board ol trade upon vouchers signed by the chair man and secretary of the freight bureau committee and approved by the auditing committee. " Ho said that he had grave doubts concerning the right ot the board of trade to delegate such unlimited au thority to anv committee , and he was in clined to side with the chair in the latter gentleman's opinions. Considerable discussion followed upon each of the sections of the report and va rious amendments of an important char acter were adopted. The result was that the following rules of government of the freight bureau of thn Omaha board of trade , were finally adopted : 1. The name shall be the Freight bureau of the Omalia' board ot trade. 2. The object of the bureau shall be to give the railroad and transportation companies such information regarding the various lines of goods it represent1 * ns shall insure their proper cJaMilication ; to secure freight rates to all shipping poioU that shall in no case discriminate azainul Omaha ; to assist in adjusting claims for losses , damages oc over charges ! and to jjoudor its services to members individually and collectively in all nir.ttnrs pet lathing to the transporta tion ot mcrchandiso'and the extension of the trade of Omaha , i B. The general management of the affairs of the burquu * shall bo under the direct control of 91 standing committee of nine members of itho board of trade , the chairman of whlrth shall bo a member of the board of ditactiors of the board of trade , and said comrriillco shall bo known as the freight burb commlttco. i. The freight biTcau committee shall elect its own chairman and adopt special rules for its government , subject to the approval of the botrfd of directors of the board of trade ; provided , however , that the secretary of the board of trade shall bo ox-oflicio secretary of the freight bu reau. G. A commissioner thoroughly com petent and conversant with railroad freight rates and other transportation matters shall bo employed by the freight bureau committee with the consent of the board of directors to conduct the bus iness of the bureau under the direction of the freight bureau committee. G. Shippers who are not members of the board of trade may afllliate with ttie freight bureau by subscribing to the rules prescribed by the Ircight bureau com mittee , and paying annual dues provided for in section 0 of those rules. 7. Subscribers to the freight bureau shall be classified under three heads , ac cording to the nature of their business aud the extent of benefit derived from the bureau , and shall bo denominated class A. H unit C. 8. The classification of subscribers shall bn determined by the freight bureau committee. 1) ) . The annual dues of subscribers other than members of the board of trade , to the use of the freight bureau shall be : Class A , $48 ; class 15 , $30 : class C , $24 , payable quarterly in advance. 10. The expenses of the bureau shall bo paid out of the treasury of the board of trade upon proper vouchers as provided under the by-laws of the board of trade , provided , also , that such expenses shall not exceed $3,500 per annum. 11. All dues shall bo collected by the secretary of the freight bureau commit tee , and bo by him deposited with the treasurer of the board of trade , from whom ho shall take a receipt. The board of trade then adjourned. THF OFFICIAL. COUNT. Mr. Gibson Counted Oat By lloyd The City Vote.

Who IB to be the Choice of the Com- mlaBinti ? Gurhstono Talk. The question that agitates the members of the police force and a good many others just at this time is : Who will bo chief ? Monyhan , owing to his politics , is not likely tosecure the favor of the commission , it is said. Whatever maybe bo the action of the commission regard ing the men on the force , it is regarded as certain that they will not consider the appointment of a republican at the head of the police as improper. Besides , it is claimed that Monyhan has no especial abilities to lit him pre eminently for the plnco. "Ho has been identified with the detection of criminals and not with a metropolitan police force such as wo will have in Omaha , " said an old police olliccr , who is not a candidate for any place himself , lost evening. "It will not require so much a man who is sharp and shrewd as ono who i * of reputable , established char acter and who has some knowledge of how strictly ho needs to keep the whole force in hand besides allowing each man to feel that he is an ollicer for the city and must not be an arresting machine only. " The other candidates are Thomas Pier- ronet. Captain Fitzgerald and John Hut- ler. Each has friends and soniu capa bilities. Charced With Crnetty to an Infant. A.young and pretty woman named Jen nie Lynn spent the night in the Central police station , where she was taken by Special Olliccr Clark , of the humane so ciety. She is charged with cruelty to a three months old baby which she took from the poor farm when it was two days old and which she has cared for since. The specified acts of cruelty arc pinching the child until it is black ana blue , biting it , and slapping it severely. She endeav ored to secure her release last evening - ing , but Judge Stenberg exacted $200 bonds , which she was unable to give. To a reporter as well as to the police of ficials the woman denied having pur posely hurt the baby. She said : "I love her as I love myself ; My husband has been sick several weeks and I was down hearted , and so whenHdho ( meaning the baby ) cried I slapped her on her little legs ; but I didn't pinch her nor bite her. I wouldn't Harm a halr'ijf her head. I love her as well as if she was my own child. " Then the prisoner cried and the hardened newspaper man had business elsewhere. If the woman did what she is accused of she ouglf to bo under ar rest. Hut it don't see nfnatural. An Unfortunate Imrty. Mrs. J. F.

January the un fortunate lady has IxJPrt suffering from mental aberration caujoiL by the shock inllicted by the death oYa little daughter. Last evening she ran out of her house and made such a disturbance on the street that an officer was telephoned for. She was induced to return to her homo with some dilUculty. Her hallucination is that someone is endeavoring to poison her aud.sho refuses to eat , having in con sequence become greatly emaciated. Her nervous dilliculty increases , as is natural , with the loss of physical powers. She will probably be taken away for perfect rest and constant treatment , Tribute to the Government. The revenue collections yesterday amounted to $3,337.85. Some cases of evasion of the revenue law are being in vestigated by special agents in Dakota , and may bring forth some interesting developments.

The days of climbing the hill from Fifteenth street up to the old city hall are nearly over , BO far as business at that particular place is concerned.

The superintendent of public buildings , city marshal and chief of the lire department will bo able to get into their new quarters this week , and next week the jail will bo in shape for the accommodation of guests as will also bo the police court. The councilmen appreciate their now quarters , probably as highly as do any of tlio city olllcials. Their hall is roomy and well ventilated. It gives seating room for 250 spectators , which will bo also appreciated by the public.

With uncovered head I was escorted across the court-yard to a largo arched doorway , says Lieutenant Shufeldt of the United States army , describing in the Youth } * Companion a visit to the queen of Madagascar. Under its arch 1 was mot by a handsome young man dressed in white uniform similar to that of the Austrian guards and top boots and spurs. He whispered to me that ho was "Adn- anisa-twolvo-honors-otlicer of the palace and aide-de-camp of her majesty. " Ho led mo into the audience room , a very large apartment called the "throne room. " A full length painting of Queen Victoria hung facing the door , and on all sides of the audience room were portraits traits of the dead sovereigns of Mada gascar. From half way up the walls to the ceiling on all sides of the room were largo mirrors , and the lloor was of highly polished wood. 'io the left , as I entered , were ranged the ludies-in-waiiing of the court ; to the right the great officials of state , utficcrs ot thu army , and high civil dignitaries of the kingdom. In two ranks in front of the throne stood the princes of the blood royal. Tha court ladles wore Parisian dresses of almost every date and color , while all the men wore gorgeous uniforms of al most every nation aud branch of service. The scene was certainly dazzling in color and novelty. With "Adrianm" I stood in front of the ranks of the princes of the blood bowed low , and on raising my eyes paw a high Ihronc , with steps on its three sides , covered with crimson velvet. From the four corners of the throne elided pillars supported a crimson can opy , under which was seated a slight , light-complcxionod aud beautiful girl , whoso steady , xuiet glance never turned itself to me , but seemed steadily directed at the other end of the great room. If was Hanavolona HI , the girl queen ot Madagascar. THE LICK OBSERVATORY. Progress of the Work Work Which the Trustees HavR Vet to Do.
