Tollio PiilUlc.
P An editorial appeared in Saturday's Ho-
imblicim headed "Brook the Combination. "
Wo rcspertf ully dcsiro to contradict the many
false statements in that article which , like
others lutcly published in that paper , Is mis
leading and does us great injustice. The
citizens of Omaha nro told that the con
tractors nro responsible for the present labor
troubles. They soy wo have lied to our ens-
toluol's , wo have not kept our agreement in
doing our work ; they assail the architects ,
they assail the contractors , they assail every
respectable man who has hud plans drawn ,
that has through his nrchltcctsald to the con
tractors , "AVo do not want this union to rule
any longer ; " dons the Republican think that
iho men that pay for these plans are fools ,
and have nothing to gay us to who shall figure
on tholr work , or shall do It ! We challenge
the Republican to name the mcnwa have lied
to In not forwarding our work , or state tliu
work wo have delayed They say wo bo-
lleved ourselves masters of the situ
ation ; wo reiterate wo are masters of
the situation , and uro ready to do nil kinds of
building promptly. Men are coming in every
day men who intend to bring tbalr families
and reside hero , not as was stuted u few days
ago , men who intend to send all their money
away. The Republican soys wo are not
Dijual to the emergency. Tno.v had hotter
find the emergency before they declare us
unequal to It , The Republican states wo
huvo .only fifty non-union men at work. This
Is false. Wo have at present over ono hun
dred non-union bricklayers at work , and cini
get bricklayers as fast as our work will per
mit us of employing them. Therein no work
on the boards wo cannot do precisely as wo
have started out ; mid \v would say In con
clusion. if the Republican will let the urclil-
locts , the contractors , the public , the brick-
makers anil the buildings that are being
built alone , and attend to thnlr printers and
Ihtilr own oftlce building , Omaha will con <
llnuo to grow and prosper , und the labor
troubles die a natural doath.
I51UCU COJJTU.4CTOU41 ASSOCUTIOX.
It CrcatflA Considerable Talk and Is
AttcrvVni-dtf IltjIVrrcd.
President Ucchcl was on liuiul nt the call
rtieoting ot the city council UcM last night for
the purpose of the ajipi-ovul of the contract
und bond of John F. Dulley for the construc
tion of sewer m sewer d Is ) riot No. CO , aiid for
receiving nnd acting upon the report of t'ic '
coramlUoQ on o\yera/jo / in regard lo un urdl <
'
oanw cnutliii ; th'u cfllcc of superiut''iiaont of
plumbing and clerk. Dftlloy's bond of $4,000
was unproved with J. H , McShanonnd James
Crciffhton bondsmen.
The passage of the ordinance created con
siderable discussion. It provides that the
superintendent.bo paid $150 a month and the
clerk ffiO. ' The expenditure of MO for a clerk
caused dissension , a number of the members
not fnvoi ing the outlay. They argued that a
clerk was not needed , and expressed some
surprise that the ordinance increased the
salary of the superintendent from f 125to $150
a month. Those In favor of the passage
of the ordinance maintained that the now or
dinance devolved n great heap of work on the
flrpcrlntendcns , and that it would bo neces
sary for him to have n clerk. Other speak
ers Insisted that the ordinance was defec
tive , as It did not specify for how long the
superintendent and clerk were to bo ap
pointed. Councilman Hascall Insisted that
f 150 n month was too much to pay. The
present salary of $135 was nt the rate of $4 a
dny , Sunday included , and the speaker
thought that the present oncumbcnt , whom
he rated competent and faithful was satis
fied with it. The ordinance was ilnolly re
ferred to the Judiciary committee to bo re
ported by them to the council next Tuesday
night.
SCHOOL BUILDING III 1)8.
The Board of Kditcatlon Finds N'ono
That Arc Hatlnfhctory.
Messrs. McConnell , Kollcy , Snvllle , Gray
and Pratt missed but little by being absent
from their posts at the special meeting of the
board of education lost evening. Tho.spcclat
order of business was the consideration of
bids for the construction of the proposed
school buildings on the Lake , Mason , Walnut
Hill and Bancroft sites. Most of the even
ing was spent In wrangling and resulted fin
ally in a t deferment of action until next Mon
day evening. *
The mooting commenced with the reading
of twenty-nine different proiwsals for the
construction of the prospective buildings ,
and an army of contractors sat patiently in
the lobby throughout the entire session.
After the bids were all read it was discov
ered that they were all beyond the nmount
voted by the people for the construction of
now buildings. Whereupon the following
was presented by Mr. Fcltoti :
Resolved , That Inasmuch as there are no
bids offered for constructing buildings that
cumo within the limit authorized by vote of
the people to bo expended by the board , that
all bids bo rejected and contractors notitlcd
to prpscnt now proposals ono week from this
date.
date.Tnls
Tnls brought out a long and dreary d.hnto .
that lasted the entire evening. Hugh Clark
thought it was hardly fair to ask these men
to make bids ngain on the same contract.
Morris Morrison asked , "can wo afford to do
this ? Are wo not crippled in our resources
so that wo can not do it. If wo run above a
certain line in our expenses wo will bo
swamped. And that is our present sit
uation. "
Mr. Coburn said that if the same plans
wcro again presented ho doubted if a single
contractor would again offer a bid. Ho
thought the only way out of the difllculty
was to modify the proposed plans In such a
manner as to make now bids necessary.
Mr. Morrison moved to amend by inserting
the clause that the architects be given until
the next rctrular meeting of the board to
make such modillcations as they ticoni neces
sary.
sary.After considerable debate Mr. Fclton mod
ified the original resolution to read that the
specifications bo furnished by the architects
on Monday night next at an adjourned meet
ing ot the board. Mr.'Morrison accepted this
in lieu of his proffered amendment. Before
this could bo voted on Mr. Coburn moved
that the portion reject ing the bids bo stricken
out. This brought two or three members to
their feet , who claimed that such a motion
was not gormaiu , and the chairman ruled It
out of order.
Mr. Clark then moved that the further con
sideration of bids for school buildings be
postponed until an adjourned meeting at 7:80 :
p. in. next Monday.
Mr. Morrison moved as an amendment that
the architects bo instructed to bo present
next Moiuay ) evening and prepare to submit
such changes in specifications ns in their
Judgment will lighten the cost of the build
ings. The motion as thus amended was car
ried.
PATRICK I'AUALYKED ,
Ho Will Not "Wotc" at the Demo
cratic Convention.
Patrick Ford , the grand mogul of the
Third ward , who of late has manifested un
ardent desire to represent the Omaha democ
racy in the coming national convention at St.
.Louis , met with a signal defeat at the hands
of his party yesterday , notwithstanding the
fact that ho has "spent money" to" get there.
Patrick will go to the county "convention"
and will "woto" for himself , but that is all.
The result of the democratic promises yes-
tordnyvus all ono way with a few excep
tions.
At the Third ward polls Pat was
.found hard at work. Here und
there only was he in his element. "Two
hundred and eighty-seven majority for mo
und my friends. " quotho ho , but that is all.
Johu E. Boyd and Dr. Miller uro the men
who will cast tholr ballots for Cleveland at
St. Louis Juno 0 , so it is predicted , whlloPat
remains at homo getting ready for next
spring's campaign. Of seven delegates of
each ward. Ford will get ono , making a total
of eight. Pat's stronghold , the third , elected
the following : Pat Ford , Adam Snyder , A.
H. Forbes , Dick Burdish , Ed Rothery ,
Charles Fanning and Henry Parrlsh. Pat
will vote for Pat and Snyder will vote for
Pat and from thenceforth the matter will bo
doubt. The Eighth word sends six delegates
live for any other man but Ford and the
other ono ugainst him , The other wards fol
lowed suit. Verily , it waa a cold day for
Patrick.

AMUSEMENTS.
Gas Williams nt llnyd'a.
Mr. Gus Williams closed his engagement
at Boyd's opera house lastovQnfng , relating
his greatest success , "Kopplor's Fortunes-
before a largo and enthusiastic audience.
The part of Kcppler , the eccentric German
butcher , Is a very happy allotment for Mr.
William * , who extracts a considerable
amount of humor from the chnncos the role
affords. While the work of this popular
actor in past years has established htm firmly
ns Iho loading German comedian of the day ,
yet the pieces in which ho has appeared have
never yet offered chances for the full devel
opment and exhibition ot his genuine merits
as an actor. There are several scenes in
"Keppler's bortunos" which are so full of
pathos and human nature that the Inclination
to laugh nt the situation is eclipsed by a gen
uine sympathy with the scenes in which the
wealthy butcner figures. The supporting
company is excellent throughout , and the
entire performance was marked by a smooth
ness and completeness which is a rarity In
any company. Mr. Williams' song , ' 'From
the Cradle to the Grave , " which no sings In
the last act , mndo n distinct hit.

This evening at Boyd's the German com
pany will appear for the last time this sea
son m a highly entertaining society comedy
with musio 'and song , entitled "Hoydomuu

largo attendance , to bring to a close a season
of German dramatic performances , which ,
artistically , at least , has never been excelled
in Omaha. This pleco closes the season of
thirty performances guaranteed by the com
pany , and with its close will coino to an end ,
the professional career of n number of its

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
A NowTlnio Card on the Union Pacific
Other Notes.
The Union Pacific railway will put a now
time card Into effect to-day , in conjunction
with the Saint Joseph & Grand Island

ing Council Bluffs will bo changed to 8:40 : n.
in. , und Omaha 9:00 : a. m. , and the arriving
time at Valley to 10:25 : a m , Thcro it will
connect with the Valparaiso train arriving
there at noon und nt Strompburg at 2:50 : p.
in. , connecting with the Saint Joseph &
Grand Island train via McCook Junction and
Fairflold for Alma whore it arrives at 10:00 :
p.m. The train running opposite will leave
Alma dally at 5:80 : u. m , , arriving nt Stroms-
burgot 1 :03p. : m. , Valparaiso2:30p.m. : and
Valley at 4:15 : p. m. connecting
with No. 8 , arriving at Omaha
5:110 : p , m.D undo Council Blurts at

in Council Bluffs or Omaha and not bo
obliged to change until they reach Alma.
Tliu same is the case with passengers leaving
Alma In the morning for Omaha , Council
Bluffs and Intermediate points. Lincoln
passengers will only have to make ono
change at Valparaiso.
IIAIb NOTES.
The BEB was In error when In Friday's
issue it stated that Conductor Jackson , of the
Union Pacific , would represent the Omaha
division of railway conductors atToncka. A
communication received from ono of the
members of the Omaha division states thai
Conductor Jackson is not a member anc
therefore could not represent this division.
On cud after to-day the day
coaches on the Union Pacific's
No. 3 , known as the ' 'Overland '
Flyer. " will bo taken off , to better enable II
to moke timo. This will add largely to the
popularity that has already been gained by
this fast train. After that date it will carry
only passengers holding first class tickets
to points where the train makes regular stops
between Council Bluffs and Ogdcn. Such
passengers must purchase tickets for seats
or berths in Pullmun Sleepers before cuter
ing the cars.

Tlio OinnhR CnrrlriRC ami Sleigh Co
The Omaha Carriage mid Sleigh Co.
will do moro , porhftpg , than anything
else to julvortlso South Omnhn nnd Al
bright throughout the state. The com
pany is building up n business nnd a
reputation at the same time , and nro do-
pondlng entirely on the quality of the
work they turn out for both , so that It is
safe to say that Tn future the trademark
"Albright" will bo a guarantee that a
carringo or slolgh Is fully up to the
mark. Although but a few months lu
the business , the only drawback to note
is a scarcity of ears for shipment. The
grounds cover about three acres , and
within the liiclosuro are the turning
shop , wood shop , paint shop , blacksmith
nhop , shipping lloor , whooi room , fur
nishing room andolllcos. About seventy
men find employment in the various de
partments , mi'1 thrco salesmen repre
sent the company on the road , while R.
D. Buckingham looks nftor the finances
nnd 15. W. S. Vnn Slyko the practical
management of the head oillco. "Yes ,
wo came here to stay , " said Mr. Van
Sl 'ko , "and wo propose to both stay and
build up a business on the merits of our
work iilotio. Wo will turn out nothing
but strictly 'A' grade work , nnd to do
that will furnish nothing but Iho best
material and the best workmanship. It
does not cost any more to have the
work done well , because when
a workman spoils anything entrusted to
hint wo charge him with it , so that
nothing loaves any department without
undergoing a throrough inspection. "
A trip through the factory and warerooms -
rooms verified the statement. In the
first department udozon mou were oaro-
fully framing nnd fashioning the wagon
bodies , "wo use nothing but second
"growth hickory and that strictly so , '
said Mr. Van Slyko , "and white wood
throughly seasoned and kiln dried of
the llrst quality. Most , manufacturers
use common red hickory , but wo find It
pays best to buy the best. And wo use
the best hero , " ho continued. "Noth
ing but Valentine's varnish Is used
throughout , and buyers know what that
means. " ' A trip to the paint shop
showed half a dczon "bodies" in various
stages of completion. Each ono received
sixteen coats before it was turned out ,
and during the last stages each coat of
varnish was followed bya polishing pro
cess iu which pulverized pumlco stone
and water gave it a gloss equal to that
of a piano. "Horo is something that
may bo now to you , " the manager con
tinued , and led the way into the finish
ing room. Blue curtains shaded the
windows and blue colorings tinted the
walls. All the cracks in the iloor were
filled with putty and heavily coated
with oil and varnish. Everything was
absolutely qulut and no atoms of dust
could bo distinguished floating through
the air. "This is where the last coat of
varnish Is put on and it requires a
skilled mechanic to do It. Only
ouo strokes of the brush ia needed
aud no dust must fall on it , or Hies dis
figure it. The light that falls on it is
of a bluish tinge , and gives that in
describable rich lustro that you notice
in all first class worlc. The store room
was next visited , and rolls of hand-
buffed .leather for tops and eighteen
ounce wool dyed cloth for cushions ( in
stead of the ordinary piece dyed ) showed
that nothing but the best material was
used in any stage. Inquiry showed that
the wheels , shafts and poles were the
only things that were not made on the
premises , the former coining from Fort
Wayne and the latter from Indianapo
lis. Thu wheels are from a leading fac
tory , and while in progress of construc
tion are subjected to a pressure of forty
tons to exclude all moisture. They are
known as the "steel banded wheel , " and
receive the finishing touches on the
promises. In the blacksmith bhops
nothing1 but the finest grades of Norway
iron were being used for general pur
poses , and finely tempered stool for the
necessary springs. The present capac
ity of the factory is for 1,000 carts , I00 !
Browater and Elliptic spring buggies ,
50 "Dandy" road wagons , 200 Paragon
and 300 miscellaneous. In August work
will be commenced on 2,000 sleighs , but
in the meantime the promises will bo
enlarged to supply the demand for the
company's special lines of "Browstor"
and "Paragon" buggies.
MAX WEYEU & BUG.
The Grandest Jewelry Store , Supcrli
nml Ci gant.
The many visitors to Max Meyer &
Bro.'a now "establishment were amazed
when they entered their store yester
day , as in all the west no such a display
of line diamonds , jewelry , watches , and
everything that goes to beautify the
homo or adorn the person was overseen
before.
This store , as every ono knows , 'is in
the now Paxton building , which was
erected according to the desires and
wishes of Messrs. Max Meyer & Bro. by
Mr. Paxton , nnd is situated on the cor
ner of Sixteenth and Farnam streets.
The walls are tinted in terra cotta ,
the coiling in sky blue , which gives a
beautiful effect.
The office , which is raised from the
floor about fifteen foot , and in the rear
of the store , is fitted with plato glass
windows , behind which can bo soon the
many bookkeepers and ether ofllco
clerks.
Upon entering the store the
first thing you behold is n
circle case , which is filled
to overflowing with diamonds-
embracing an assortment of cut
diamonds , that would ( ill tho. crown of a
queen so that the dazzling rays omitted
might bo fairly said to rival the brilliant
corradintions of thosunwhon the falling
raindrops produce the rainbow pearls ,
rubles and sapphires nnd every variety
of brilliant ornaments iu fact every
thing appertaining to the jewelry lino-
Max Meyer & Bro.'s display btands
away out to the front Iho firm of all
others who have such a perfection ol
stock that thuir approaching rivals
cannot hope to bo able to excel them ,
Their display of watches of American
and foreign manufacture defies competi
tion , and the pen is hardly able to describe -
scribe the many line goods that can be
soon horo. Wo overheard eome luuiot
who have just returned from a Euro
pean trip say that they have not soon
anything more elegant in Paris or Lon
don.
don.The
The fittings in the store consist ol
rosewood casoo and solid maho anj
tables. The side walls have ciihos ol
fine inlaid woods extending the 'entire
length , richly veneered ; the gas fix
tures are also very beautiful nnd in
keeping with the btoro.
Pabslng by the largo vault to the rcai
you enter thuir music store , which foi
the convenience of their customers thej
have now on the ground floor. Ma >
"
Meyer & Bro , , "carry the largest
stock of foreign and American sheet
music in the west , as well as r
very largo assortment of binull musical
inorehumliso nnd band instruments ,
, and an immense stock of piarod and or
guns.
Descending into the basement wo find
the wholesale stock of pianos und or
guns nnd small musical instruments , ol
which Max Meyer & Jiro.uro very large
importertJ , as the records of the custon ;
lioube in Omaha will divulge. Theii
manufacturing ; jewelry department uni
their piano and orgau repair depart
incut is on this floor.
Taking the elevator , wo go up to the
second lloor , and hero we stand amazec
nt the collection of.lino art goods die
played in n beautifully decorated roon
marble lutuary from Italy , fine brouzei
front Franco , terra cotla from Spain and
Bohemia , brass ware from Constan
tinople , paintings from Italy and Ger
many , etchings and engravings , richly
cut glass , In short , wo do not know of n
store in the United States where a
liandsomor nnd moro complete collec
tion of flue art goods , varying in price
from flftv cents ot thousands of dollars ,
are kept for inspection nnd sale , than
In the art room of Max Meyer ft Bro.
Stepping to the front wo nro in the
the largo musio hall , filled with
pianos. Max Mover < fc Bro. have the
western agoilcy for the celebrated
Chlckcrlng , Knabo , Voso , and for
cheaper makes the Sterling and Arion
pianos. They have albo lately
secured the western agency for the
celebrated Kroogor piano. Mr. Kroogor
has been superintendent ot the Steinway -
way factory for the last twonty-flvo
years , and is now manufacturing n
piano that is bettor than ho has over
made before.
West of the musio hall Is Max Meyer
< fe Bro.'s wholesale jewelry and whole
sale watch material and tool depart
ment. Max Meyer & Bro. are the only
firm west of the Missouri river who are
members of the National Association ot
Jobbers , llonco they are In a position
Lo soil watches , jewelry aud material ,
in fact everything appertaining to the
jewelry trndo , nt exactly the same fig
ures as they are sold by jobbers all over
the United States. Their trade is In
creasing right along , und tlioy have a
iiumbor of traveling men out in this
line alone.
Again taking the elevator we como
to the third lloor , in which wo find
their largo wholesale piano warerooms
and the teaching rooms , which nro ar
ranged on the conservatory plan. On
this lloor Mr. Young , the celebrated
vocal teacher ; Mr. Robbins , teacher of
harmony ; Mr. Bl an Icon fold , piano
teacher ; Mrs. Wilmasor. piano teacher ;
iviid quite a number of other teachers
have Choir rooms.
Notwithstanding the disagreeable
state of the weather on Saturday , the
store was thronged with ladies and gentlemen -
tlomon all nftornoon and evening but
as this was undoubtedly the means of
keeping many back , Max Meyer & Bro.
have concluded to continue tliolr open
ing on Monday afternoon nnd evening ,
so that all their friends who wcro not
able to como on Saturday will have an
opportunity of seeing the ontirojlisplay
intact. All are cordially invited and
will bo heartily welcomed.
