Docs the Oouncll Intend to Blunder Again
in Letting It ?
SUGGESTION AS TO A STANDARD LIGHT.

Around the Aureninnnt.
On next Tuesday the council will make an
other attempt to lot the contract for lighting
certain parts of the city with easoline.
With the bungling manner In which the
last contract was made and iho disgrace
ful Bi-cni's which led up to It , the public Is
quite fnmillnr. The hone Is entertained that
the coining attempt will bo devoid of sus
picious conduct on the part of the council and
that the matter will bo attended to as it
ihould bo in n conscientious and business
tnannor.
' I propose , " naid n prominent taxpayer ,
"to follow the council through this whole
rtenl. I know It is a case in which boodle
limy bo employed. I know there are follows
In the council who would not hesitate to
take boodle and did tnlto in the Into
gnsolino farco. Their names , too , have
been nnnonncod on the street nnd thu In
formation has leaked out through thu combi
nation which secured their .service. So f ru
ns I am concerned , if I can learn of nny of
this dirty business time , i shall not hesitate
to make some councilmen wince.
"Scgor , I understand , will bo n bidder
ngaln and of course the Ohio people will also
take n hand. Tlieso , I notice , have n corns
of backers hero which has been greatly in
creased since the last llasro , nnd the Stan-
ilard Oil company , it is claimed , is also ex
pected to pu.sh thorn lo the front. "
There are several things In connection with
this now move which attract pretty general
nttention. Ono is the haste which has been
displayed In advertising for bids.
The original contract was Killed by the
mayor's veto on last Tuesday night. Adver
tisements wcro li sorted in the papers of the
next day and as has been stated , the bids are
to be opened on Tuesday next at noon.
This notice ) is considered manifestly too
short to enable thu advertisements to circu
late through the country and thus attract
the attention of the illuminating companies
elsewhere which might be disposed to offer a
bid.
bid.As a consequence offers need be expected
from few if any companies othur than those
already In the tight.
People hold that this haste was unncccs-
lary and 'injudicious , especially in view of
Iho fact that there was no dancer of the city
In the meantime being left in darkness.
The advertisement for bids , too , has been
criticised. It leaves the bidder to elect what
candle power ho shall bid upon nnd the
amount ho shall ask for the same.
This lias been considered unusual. It Is
held that the city should determine what
candle power sjiould bo employed in every
burner , nnd then ask bids upon that quality
or light.
I f n six teen-candle-power light bo considered
the deslratum , of what use is it , pcoploargue ,
to consider bids on twelve , or thirteen or fif-
teon-camllo power !
tins inspector Gilbert says that a liirht
of loss than sixtcun-candlo power
Is worth scarcely anything. Why ,
thorotoro , should the city not
have asked bids on at least slxtecn-candle
power.
It has been urged that if this were done
the competition would not bo as great as it is
now. But this objection is met on
the other hand by the query ,
What is the use of competition
which does not compctoj Companies which
do not or.cannot furnish the light which Is
demanded by the gns inspector ought not to
bo considered competitors. Money paid
for less than such a light as Is
needed is money thrown nwny. If the ad
vertisement had been given general circula
tion , the response it would huvo brought
would huvo dispelled all Idea of combination.
It Is nlso noted in the advertisement that
bidders will bo required to exhibit to
the gas committco of the city
council thrco days prior to
the opening of the bids "samples of lamps ,
posts and burners they pioposo to furnish. "
Now , It is asked , what good it will do to
exhibit "samples of lamps , posts and burn
ers ? " What the committee ought to
see especially , is the light I The
best looking lump , post nnd burner ,
with a bad light , is valueless.
The light should bo of the standard power
demanded by the city and not or a quality
only ns can bo afforded by this or that manu
facturer. The test should bo mada before
the contract is let. " After the awarding the
contractor should bo obligated lo furnish thu
standard light or pay a penalty thorofor In
addition to have n deduction made from his
bills. So long as a contractor knows ho can
not furnish the standard light , ho is
willing , to have deducted from his bill
an amount representing the difference
because ho llxod his bid in the outset to save
himself from loss. The contractor s interests
In this respect are all right , but those
of the people are not. They must walk
In the bad light and pay for it.
The resolution adopted at the last
meeting of the council to deduct
from the bills when the light Is below a cer
tain power , ought to bo amended so as to In
sist upon n cancellation of the contract If the
discrepancy is continued for an appreciable
timo.
The contract should also rccoivo some
attention from the council. That
under which the piosont com
pany operates , Is worthless. It is almost
ns worthless ns have been the light and the
lamps which the latter has at times fur
nished. It should s-pccillo the caudlu-pownr
to bo supplied and should , among
a number of things , Insist that
when that power Is not nttalned , the compa
ny .should stand the eonscquonco.
Tno consolidated tank line should keep Its
hands out of this matter nnd n certain other
strong corporation of this city which also
took part In the last farce should attend to
its own business.
If It doesn't there will bo something said
about It In public.
According to the advertisement In ques
tion , thu allcuud test of comput
ing lights should bo made to
night , but where the council committco
on gas will hold it nobody scorns to know. It
is thought , however , that It will bo held In
the police court.

Koretmn/'h'H / Parade nnd UN Feature *
Pleased ( lie People.
The Forop.iugh circus parade was success
fully cnclnoarcd to a llr.lsh without accident
orojpoclal incident. Ono notlccablo fenturo
of It was that It was out on time , bclnir n Ilt-
tlo ahead of tho.schedule If nnvthlng , but It
wasn't cnrlv enough lo cnteh the small boy
napping. For fullv nn hour before It passed
the streets were lined nud curbstones
crowded along the line of march. The streets
In tno business portion of the city were
Jammed , nnd thn police had their hands full
keeping the car tracks clear and an avenue
open for the parmlo.
The bright particular star was Jasper Hay
seed , and with his trained mute , spring
Wilson and Iron rimmed glasses , ho had more
fun than nnvbody. He dashed hither nnd
thither , cutting the line wherever ho had n
chnnco , and making life mUeruble for thu
policemen who weru not "onto the play.1'
The mule took an Insane delight In balking
right In front of motor trains or whenever
hn found a holu In the line , but Jasper would
rise up , whit ) In bnnd , nnd gut the brute
started just in time to prevent n disaster.
Ho seemed to bo always run
ning over people and thu lives
of everybody In his vicinity
were apparently always In danger , but some-
Low or other nobody was hurt. Olllcurs Hurr
mid Paolo did not Icnow thnt Jasper was "In
It , " and they tried to freeze him out at Fif
teenth and Fnrnnm. They placed him under
arrest , but thu mule would not consider sucli
a proposition for a minute and at once balked.
The ofilcers stepped back to give Jasper an
opportunity to reason with the animal , when
pronto ! away ho went on a run , leaving the
illsguslFid coppers and thoha-husof the crowd
be hi ml him.
The parade was nn exceptionally largo ono
nnd included quite a number of now features
that were fully appreciated by the immense
crowds that thronged the line of march.
Ampio provision lir.d been made to notify
people to look for timid horses and the
effects of the general goo.l management of
the show were every where apparent.

"The reform school board , us the mon who

A few days ago U-ismus Hanricicson , u
grocer nt bO'-i Lunvonworili street , died , and
connected with his death there is a pretty
story. Years upo Honrlcicson loft Noiw.iv ,
his native land , a young man , full of days
work , but short of eish. Soon after landing
in New York ho hoard of the oppor
tunities or the great west , and packing his
iMKBage , shipped for Omaha , lots were
cheap , and beirg Industrious Ilenricksou soon
gathered enough dollars to purchase a lot.
IIo worked on , savins and investing every
nanny that lie earned. As property advanced
he sold some of his holdings a'nd encaged in
tno grocery trade. In this line ho was popu
lar and prospered ooyond Uis fondest antici
pations. Additions were made to the little
store until the tirno of his death , two weeks
HBO. It was discovered then that the man
had made a fortune of $50,01)0 ) and there was
not u chicle nor a child to claim the dead
man's gold.
At the funeral it was noticed that Sidso
Anderson , a voung woman who for ten years
had been Henrickson's housekeeper was
prostrated with grief. People thought
nothing of the fact , as they know the deceased -
ceased had been an old bachelor and had no
idea that Cupid's shafts had ever pierced his
breast.
The girl refused to bo comforted , but her
whole time was not given up to mourning for
the do.id and the deported , though she
avers that some day , had the procer lived ,
she would have been a Mrs. Henrickson.
Uut let that bo as it may , she proposes to
have pay for what she lost. Yesterday she
wc-nt before the probate Judge and filed a
$4,810 claim against the estate , tognther with
an aflidavit In which she swears that from
April 13 , Ibb'J , until .lunoUJ , 1SOI , 481 weeks ,
she served as the housekeeper for Rasmus
Honrickson , and that the services were rea
sonably worth the sum of ? 10 per week.

a low were sent homo as trophies.
Judge Uundy is complimenting himself on
having discovered a way to elude the lawyers
who have made life a burden for him during
his picvious trips. They have always found
a way to got at him and press him with busi
ness when ho was doing his level bust to for
get till cares ot that nature. This time , how
ever , ho kept his route secret and neither
wrote letters nor received any. In consequence
quence ho escaped his tormentors entirely ,
but it is a question with him whether ho did
not suffer somewhat himself by his volun
tary seclusion. Ho stated yesterday that ho
had lost all track of affairs in Omaha and
when ho struck Marquctto , Mich. , and se
cured two copies of Tin : Uii : : lie devoured
their contents. The papers of St. Paul and

with as much interest as though It had been
