The cars used are the smallest in the service and are al ways full , so much so that frequently walking lias to bu resorted to to roach either place. Mr. Baled , of the Barker house , says it is often impossible for his guests to ride to town , while on Sunday people whowish to take an airing be yond the thickly settled part of the city must either walk there or suffer boijig packed into little boxes like sardines.

The profits of the "canteen" will be applied to furnishing the messes of the companies with lux uries which now seldom lind their way there. Omaha'H ItlYal.i If South Omaha was a little further away from Omaha she 'would be our rival , but as it is it forms a part ot our great city and nil the improvements and buildings in South Omaha adds to our own prosperity and enhances the value of every piece of property m Omaha. Our citizens cannot realize t the immense amount of work going on in South Omaha ; go down there and see packinz houses , storage warehouses , stores , dwel lings , etc. , being built on every hand over 1.000 men and 200 teams are cm- ployed grading streets. It'will pay any one that has not visited the "packing center" of the west lately , to go there and take a look , try it nnd when you see what a city South Omaha is to-day , imagin if you can , what it will bo two years hence. Then get a plat showing the unsold lots with prices , and compare with the prices of lots in any city of one-half the population ana pros pects , and see how cheap they are.

The city council held n special session last night , and , forming itself into a com mittee of the whole , decided to recom mend to the council , at its regular session next Tuesday night , the rojuetion of all bids for the erection of the new city hall. The commktcc proceeded to business with Alderman Lowry in the chair , and before the committee had been in session- fifteen minutes the meeting developed1 into a "go-as-you-please" talking match between Contractor Ed Bronnan and Mr. Balcombe , of the board of public works , and City Engineer Tillson. The ontiro' trouble grow out of. the fact that Mr. Brennan is using limestone in the super structure when the contract called for Colorado .sandstone. After the objection able material had been put in place En gineer Tillson and Mr. Balcombo went out oa a tour of inspection , and , seeing ; the limestone in the foundation , de sired to know from Mr. Brennan where lie got ills authority , to substitute that stone for Colorado sand stono. Mr. Brennan euvo Mr. Meyers , the architect of the building , as his au thority , and stated that the council had been apprised of the fact. This was de nied by * several of the councilmen , and the matter brought to tlui attention of the committee on public buildings and property. As the matter stands now , it is claimed by the city engineer , it would bo dangerous to place a building erected after the plans of Mr. Meyers , on the sub-structure now being erected by Mr. Brennan. Things were growing amusing last night wlion President Bechel moved that the committee rise and report to the council as stated above. This will ne cessitate the advertising for new bids for the main structure and Contractor Brennan in all probability will take the matter into court. Florida Itcal Kstnto.
