Tito Kited or the Assignment or a Sewer Contract In This City , All the members of the board of public works were at the session yesterday after noon. Samuel Katz bid 39 cents for grading the alley in block 107. The members thought the prlco too high nnd the bid was laid over for future corislderation. Thodntm of Ed "Walsh was discussed. Walsh hud the contract for constructing u sewer on South Fourteenth street , and need ing money to carry on the worl. . assigned the full amount of the clnlm , $3,423.00 , to the Commercial National bank. After this material to the amount of $1,273 was furnished by Johnsor & Co. About the thno that the contract wns completed the material man came infer for his pay and found that the money was hold by the hank. Walsh pave bonds for the completion of the worl ; ami the payment of the labor claims. It now turns out that the city has accepted the work und the laborers were paid , but tbo material men have not been satisfied. In speaking upon the case Major Fumy sold : "If our bonds nro so loose Unit a con tractor can co on and buy material from mcu without their having any security. I regret it very much , but such seems to bo the case. " "It looks KB though our bonds Imvo been in this condition , " said Mr. Klerstcau , "but in the future I hope the board will draw its bonds so that they will protect the material as well as the laboring menl" " 1 am not clear upon this point and I think before taking any action wo should have the opinion of the city attorney/1 said Chairman Blrkhausor. To find out whether or not Walsh's assign ment to the bank wns valid , the board ilo- clclod to meet next Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock to receive an opinion. The street sweeping hill of C. E. Squires , amounting to ? 701 , was presented. It ovokcd considerable animated discussion. On No vember 8 the chairman of the board ordered Mr. Squires to discontinue sweeping. On November 25 the chairman again saw Mr. Squires and ordered him to sweep a number of the streets not included in tno contract. On December 1 Squires wns ordered to again commence sweeping under the schedule , which provides for payment at the ruto of (15 per milo. . Squires proceeded with his work and put in a bill of $701 for the entire work performed. Blrkhausor charged that Squires had charged inoro than the contract price for the work. Squires explained by laying that ho had , but that on the streets included in hts contract a * vast amount of dirt had accumulated between November 1 and December 8 , and that in most cases ho had been compelled to go over the streets two and three times. "That makes no differ ence , " said Birkhauser. "It is the first time that you have done good work during the sea son. " "Ho has done extra work , " said Mr. Klor- Btead , "and I think payment should bo mad a under the 10 per cent clause of the contract. " This cluuso provides that when streets nro not swept according to schedule the chair man may order the sweeping and that It ) per cent prollt shall bo allowed the contractor. "I will oppose this bill , hut I want har mony ana clean streets , " continued Mr. Blrk- hnuscr. iit "So do I , " responded Mr. Klcrstoad. "But I do not propose to got down to d d down right robbery to got it. " "There Is no robbery about it , and I am prepaid ) to back up my stand by the opinion of the city attorney , " again remarked the chairman. At this point Major Furny poured oil on the troubled waters by postponing the considers of the bill until the next meeting. a10 Mr. Squires was Instructed to continue sweeping , but was told that ho need not dc any sprinkling. . The question of provldinga snow nlow wns tnktMi up nnd discussed at snino length , nftci which Mr. Squires lomarkcd that ho hniJ purchased ono of the latest and most idn proved kind and invited an Investigation. nth Mr. Blrkhausor was not satlsllcd with dropping the street swooping question , and ngnln brought it before the board by saying "Wo want the streets swept during the balance anco oT the season , but wo want to pay nc cording to the scncdule.1' "Mr. Blruhnuser , " said Mr. Squlras , "did you over rend Major Dnlcombo's Intcrnrcta lion of the contract regarding the $15 acr mile and the 10 per cent clnusol" "No , nor ! don't propose to. I am chair man of the board this year , and not Majoi Balcombe , nnd the sooner Kbmo pcoplo under Btnnd this the bettor it will bo. " "That may bo so , " continued Mr. Squires as soon as ho could got in a word , "but semi day you will wako up nnd ilml that the court ; know 0.3 much about some things as yovr do. ' Matters were becoming decidedly Interest ing when Mr. Kicrstcad moved an adjourn incut. U. H. Imuor anil Material. Mr. James P.

THE EMPTY HONOK. How the Clialrinniishio of the Council IM Sought , by Aspiring Mortals. There is a now turn in the plans for the or ganization of the new council. Mr. Lowry has withdrawn from the race for the presi dency , preferring tno active work of the iloor to the empty honor. His withdrawal lias encouraged Moioarty and OHhoff to renfw their light forthochalr- nrunshtp. The latter wants a straight demo- cratlo organization of the council , while More- arty wants anything that will give him the coveted position. There are democrats in the council xvho will oppose cither of these aspir ants , nnd this fact may open the road for a republican president , in which case Mr. Bechcl would probably ho elected. "Osthoit , however , relies upon a couple of republican votes If the matter comes to a show down between him nnd Morcarty. Davis "isn't saying anything , " but if n combine can bo patched up ho will probably be at tlio head of it. Tnus far , all attempts to Ret ten men to agrco to perpotua'o ring rule in the council has failed and the matter has been dropped temporarily. Frank Morrissey , the combine agent , is too busy to give the matter his entire time. Ho has to do a little missionary work each week to Iccop thouufavoiixblo committee report on his affairs buried in the committee of the whole. The rest of his titno Is em ployed in working n boom for the appoint ment as state oil inspector under Governor Boyd. Ed Burke , a Union Pacific shop man is the latest candidate for city clerk and has quite a following. It looks at present , however , as though John Groves could hold the place another year at least if ho would employ force of democratic clerks under him. A Mysterious Mooting. Late yesterday afternoon all of the mem hers of the democratic city central committee received special Invitations to bo present at a meeting to bo held at Julius Meyers' rooms Twelfth and Farnani streets , at 8 o'clock this ovcnliiK. The invitations close with the par agraph , "It is of the greatest importance that you attend. " The members of the committee profess ignorance as to the object of the guth- ering , though ono gentleman , wno states that ho is in a position to know , says that it is for no other purpose than to perfect plans for capturing the organization of the new city council.

Jurymen Disgusted with the Action of the "Magnetic" Henlcrs. Ahucr Peeler of South Omaha , a man who Is Unown to the police of this city as ono of the most jjangerous counterfeiters In the country , was tried before Judge Dundy yes terday morning on the charge of defrauding .Douglas White , a verdant youth fiom tuo rural districts. It was shown that Peeler had sold Whlto several counterfeit Jo-gold pieces , which might well have deceived nn expert. These were produced in evidence and showed very conclusively that the maker was uu expert , - as they had every appcarauco and almost the Hug of genuineness. White's testimony showed that ho was aware of the spurious nature of the coin and had bought it knowingly , The court decided that , under the indictment , the accused was not Riiilty , as the witness had not bcon de frauded. The ] ury was instructed to return a verdict of not guilty , which was douo. Peeler was not released from custody , how - ever , and [ mother indictment will bo found ugalnst him. The Jury which tried "Dr. " Davis and wife , the alleged blackmailers , is seriously considering the idea of requesting Judge Dundy to enforce the payment of the line assessed against Davis or to imprison him for non-payment. - One of the Jurymen stated tint the mem bers of the Jury nad become convinced , sluco seeing the actions of the pair about the fed eral building and learning of the merits of , the case , that they had boon Imposed upon and deceived nnd further that , bad they > known the facts in. the case before the ver dict was returned as well ns they know them now , they would have convicted both parties - and recommended that they bo given the severest penalty under the law. - - , " - - - - - . u .

This he had done by one of the best clothing manufacturers in the country , insuring an elegant fitting suit. By buying an immense quantity of goods , ( nearly 4OOOyards ) and getting such anumber made at one time ( over 60O suits ) we have been able to procure a suit fully the equal of those being sold at from twelve to sixteen dollars. As we expect these suits to be the biggest advertisement for us we Have ever had , a little description of them here may not be out of place. The ma terial is a strictly all wool black cheviot , every fibre.The liningsare allgood substantial goods.
