The eight-year-old son , Otto , of Mrs Cole , who Is in the county jail with the man Andrews , awaiting action in theii cose for residing together as man ant wife , has been taken charge of by th < police , the parties who tiuve taken can of the boy since his mother's incarcera tion having become tired of caring for him. him.Judge Judge Ford , of this city , is coniideni that ho has found a hole in prohibition big enough to drive a license ordinance through , lie claims that thu act of 18 ? ( amending section 40 ! ) of the code , whereby cities and towns are given au tliorlty to regulate and license , or tax and prohibit beer and wino saloons , has never been repealed. Ho has been spend ing a great deal of time looking np the history of flio legislation , hunting up au thorities , and is conlident ho is right. The newspaper friends of Frank Clark , who howled so lustily because his credi tors sought to secure their claims , were the first and only ones to scatter thn re port that he had skipped the city. The roasting they cave him was hotter oven than the weather. Now they hasten to take it all back , and apologi/o for their hasty injustice. They try to rnako it right by declaring that he only skipped over to Omaha to purchase new furni ture for the hotel , and they vouch for his having the hotel run ning better than ever in a day or two. The proposals of the gas company and of the electric light company.for lighting the htrcots. will nroDably come up bcforo the council at its meeting this evening. The gas company has kept its proposal very quiet. It has been in the hands of tlio committee but kept secret. It is un derstood that tlio reduction granted by the gas company is very small. The proposal of the electric light company has already been published 111 full. There is little question but that tlio electric light system gives bettor satisfaction to the citizens , and if this system cm bo secured at a reasonable expense , the majority will surely favor it. The chief objection on the part of any of the alder men seems to be against macing con tract for so long as five years. They say they expect great improvements In street lighting within tivo years , probably les- Beninglho expense greatly. For rupture or hernia , call and get Dr. Rico's new invention.

D , Warren , the cvniur of the nov row of Ihitd almost completed on Fifth avenue west of Sixth street , arrived yes' ' I tcrday morning. Mr. Warren is con \ nectcd with the Simmons Hardware I company of St. Louis. In conversation with a representative of this paper he stated that ho expected his building ! would bo completed now very shortlj und that there was a good demand foi tonomnnt houses with all modern con venlenccs , such.as these. Ho is of the opinion that thcro is room in Counci Hind's for u largo number of such houses and believes them a good nayiug invest " ' HACRMEN HAPPY ON TflEWAI Better Vehicles , Mora Business , and th Public Well Accommodated , SUBURBAN STREET LIGHTING Another Accident For Ijnck of i Danger BlKnitl DclnyR of the Motor Liini ! A Demand For Alorc Flats. Among the Ilacknipn. There Is probably no city west o Chicago that has the reputation of ha * ing 60 many line hacks as Council Hind's This city now has a belter class of hack than many cities more than double it population. That these hacks receive liberal patronage can readily be seen b the way new ones arc continually addc to the large number already In busines ; The hack business la like everything else People patronize hacks in goodcouditioi while they prefer walking or street carte to hacks that are completely worn ou with age and hard usage. It is onlv a few years back that Couti cil lilull's did not have a hack lit for da , use. They wcro all "night-liners , " ani the proprietors took great pains from e * posing tliPin to the sun's ravs else the , should fall apart. In the "night liners' ' many n dark deed was done , Hut th days of "doing np" men seem to bo : thing of the past , nt least in Counci Hltills , it being a long while since an. extensive case come to light. The hack business is an old one ii this city , but it does not seem to hav added any more to the financial pros perity of those engaged in it than an ; oilier line of business , none of them hav ing retired from business millionaires. Hack in the forties there were sucl things as hacks hero but they wen limited to one or two vehicles. In fact the same can be Maul of them throughou the fifties. In 18oG John Dohany ran i hack line In connection with the Mis souri river boats that landed passenger at a wharf near what is now known a Lake Manawa. It was then a profitubl business. Theodore Bray and Tom Skin ner both were in the hack business , bu all the old timers have gene into bom other lino. Jake Rogers ran a 'bus line for lifted years and sold out to Harry Ueecroft who atlil continues it. During the tim Rogers began operations thcro were ; number of liacks , but they were patron ized by the rough element. Three-card monte men and others helped destroy th < bettor class of patronage and the bus ! ness died a natural death fourteen year ago. In 1870 W. R. Vaughan attempted t < run a line of Hcrdics , but they "wen out" for want of patronage. In 1882 Harry Hnccroft started up th hack business that had remained dcai for at least live years. After a while h sold out to Mike Wcatherbco and sinc < then the business has fallen into th hands of William Lewis , William Marlii and others. Heecroft has lately enl ; been running one hack , but is agaii coing into the business and expect another new coach daily. Hy degree : new , expensive hacks were placed on thi streets. They cost in the nuighborhoot of ? 1,200 each. Two years ago Wiilian Welch entered the fie'd ' with lirst-clas : vehicles , and these men have been con tinually adding line coaches to theii slock until to-day , no city of its size cat boast of such a quantity of line hacks a : this city. Recently several cabs or councs lmv < been put on by both William Welch am William Lewis and run in conncctior with their hack lines. The people of tlu jity havn't taken very readily to thn cab ! is yet , but in time they will , no doubt , b ( Found preferable to the larger hack foi uarties of two. The cabs cost $700 te (000 ( each. It might not bo amiss to state in con ncctlon with this article that the gold mounted hack of William Welch soon on [ ho streets daily cost $1,450. The double harness cost $150 and the team aoou (500. ( Making a total investment o (3,000. And "till people will kick at boinf charged 125 cents for a ride in it. The New Street Lampi. The Sun Vapor Light company an busy putting in their now lamps in thi street lamp posts on the outskirts of th city which have heretofore been lightci by gasoline. There are over forty lamp in now and by Wednesday all of the 11 lamps on hand will bo in place. The are to put in 200 in nil and by next wcel the portion of the city in which they ar located , will bo lighted by the new com pany. g Too Baring With Lanterns. A two-scatod carriage was upset am greatly damaged Saturday night o Fourth street , between Fifty avenue am Story street. The occupants wore mor or less injured by the upset , and had i not been for the horses getting lees much moro dura ago would have neccs sarially followed , as the horses started o : on H run. All this was caused by obstructions i the street not having a danger signal dis played. In building the sewer a barrel was sc in the ground at the end of the cxcava tion. It was only slightly above th ground , and the horses were ou th barrel before they saw it. Had th proper signal boon displayed no damug could have arisen. Several accidents have lately bcci caused by this neglect , and more car should bo taken by persons making ex cavatioiiH. nig Hollies Move Slowly. Seine little stir was occasioned by th report on the street yesterday that a me chauic's lion had been filed on thu Man awa motor railway late Saturday even ing. That everybody in this city has be coma more or joss disgusted with th way iho motor line lists been allowed t < remain in its uncompleted condition i well known , but that a lion should bi filed against it was quito surprising t many , as Mr. J. K. ( iravcs is known t bo a very responsible man financially That Mr. Uraves is a man who takes : good deal for granted , is found in th fact that ho anticipated , according to hi own statement several times repeated no trouble in making the motor lin crossings over the four trunk railways Hu has built many miles of railroad am It scorns should have been forearmed a well as forewarned.V hen the state rail road commission were called to this cir at his request to settle , If possible , th dilliculties In regard to those crossings Mr Graves was not only of the Imprcs sion that the commission would decide ii his favor but was confident of the result The decision was apparently much of surprise to him and has , no doubt caused him much trouble. It has alsi caiucd those who subscribed to the bon us fund to hold back their payments es pccially because nothing seemingly ha been done recently in building the crosi ings. It is true , that he has had men a work finishingtho line , depots , eio. , a well as putting the motors in runnin , order. But whithout conncotio at the crossings what bcucfi eay they , is the motor line ? I consequence of this feeling those mtci listed refuse to turn over any moro of th bonus money. They already hav handed Mr. Graves $3,500. As they r < fused to paj'to the Chicago Lumber cou pnny Mr. Grave1 Orders , or even acccp these orders , this company hnyo tiled i Hen , describing the entire roadbed fron the Ninth sfrcct starting point to iti terminus at hotel Manawa. far $3,132.04 A BEE representative , saw S. P. Maccon iitll , Iho lumber company's reslden partner yesterday , but that gontlemar was extremely reticent. Finally ho said "Tho only reason of this was that those guaranteeing aid for the road refused t < accept orders given by Mr. Graves am to secure our company wo took these stops. AH there seems to bo i difference of opinion among these gentle men in regard to their obligations , w < saw no other way of securing ourselves These persons , in our opinion , an equally responsible with Mr. Graves and wo thought this the bettor way. to sccun the company , while dealing with si many. Mr. Graves is a responsible mai himself , but thcro might bo some hitcl in a settlement , that this move on oui part will now obviate. " Mr. Maccon neil stated that ho was satisfied of thi great difficulty Mr. Graves had hud hi se curing material for the road , and of tlu trouble attached to the crossing questions tions , but ho trusted the road would soot bo running. It now transpires that al though it has been rcportoi that even-thing had been arrangot : satisfactorily with all the roads that it is a question still , a which strret the crossing of the Milwnu kco track will be nnulo. This queslioi may bo settled shortly. That all the roads have agreed to allow a crado cross ing , is certain. Hut it has not yet been put in black and white. After this , mticl time will of necessity bo required befon all of the crossing can bo made. Sonu of tliptu are in stock , but whether tin greater portion will have to bo made t ( order remains to bu scon , by the appear unco uf them on the ground. At the Pacific house vou will save frou COo to $1 pur day. Try it and bo con vlnced. A Dwelling Place. "Lord , thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. " This was tilt text upon which Hov. ( ! . W. Crofts yes terday morning preached an cxcellou sermon. In his prefatory ho pictnrec vividly the situation in which Moses wai supposed to bo when he gave utteranci to this beautiful psalm. Kvcry gem o literature , every sparkling truth , win born of human experience. It was no constructed by mere intellectual power but sprang forth from human feeling All the memorial days were memorial- - of sacrifice and sufl'ering on the part o those who had arhievcd great things Had it not been for sorrow and suffering for pains und death , for struggles and ad versity , thcro would have been no Shakes peare , no Tonuyson , no Longfellow , Language was merely thu holding h tangible and permanent form human ex periences. Words were more cups hold ing the wonderful wino of life. Tho.i wcro not the wine itself. The expuri dices through which Moses has passei developed in him the wonderful truths which lie had so beautifully expressed it this psalm. This earth was a good dwel ling place for tlm boJy , but thu sou ! needed a resting place which earth dii not atlbrd. For the soul there was i dwelling place not made by hands. Tin great yearning for such a home of tin soul , common to all earnest men , led Moses to cry out in the words of the text Thu first feature of thu utterance whicl attracted attention was tltu permanence of this dwelling placo. It was the thing ; unseen which were real : iud lasting. Tlu things seen would pass away. The work ; of man , earth itself , the stars , oven thu sun would pass away. The dwelling place of the soul was eternal , because ii was God. It was a dwelling : place , too where love abounded. Money could no1 buy u homo. It could only buy u place It was not the costliest housu "that was the truest home. There must be thai love , without which no palacu could bo a homo , and with which a hovel might bu : heavenly ono. It was a homo when thcro was advancement and progress. There should bo great comfort taker from the thought that as children of God , made in his image , there was such : dwelling place awaiting all. The reall y.ation of such a future should lift one tc such a height , that like Moses , he couh stand upon the mountain-top of faith and look eomnlacoutly upou the storms of life below him. J.
