The board of public works held a mooting
yesterday nftcrnoon , and , as usual tlio liar-
bcr asphalt company was not In It to any
grunt cxtunt.
The board tmd advertised for bids for pavIng -
Ing Seventeenth street , from Hurnoy to St.
Marys avcnuo. Hut ono bid was tliero lor
consideration. That ono was from the Har
bor company and was f'J.JtS per squnro yard
for sheet asphaltum , form "A. " It was
opened and road during the cnrly hours of
the scstion , after which It was laid away
until Just before adjournment , when It
formed tno subject for an Interesting discus
sion.
Chairman Ulrkhauser moved the rejection
of the bid and that the board readvurtlso.
llo explained his reasons by ursine that the
figures were exorbitant in comparison with
those charged In ether cities. Ho expressed
the opinion that the board had a duty to per
form In looking nftor the Interests of the tax
payers und the public.
Major Fumy admitted the Interest , but
oplnod Unit for seven years the people had
maJo fool.s of tliomsolvos by paying hlph
prices. Ho thought that If the taxpayers
wanted asphalt they should have It , even If
they Uid pay extravagant prices. The pave-
mcnt bad never been laid for loss than $ 'J.'J3
per yard , and If people wanted asphalt ho
would advise them to sign for It. Ho did not
feel like setting his opinion up against that
of the people , and thov could have whatever
they xvunlcd , the board not having any string
on them.
Chairman Blrkhauscr differed with Major
Fumy. Ho thought the board had duty to
perform , and ought to use Judgment In some
mutters. If the board did not decide , the
mombnrs might as well resign , save the city
their salaries and let the secretary open the
bids ana refer them to the council. Ho in
ferred that It was the duty of tno board to
rolcut exorbitant bids. If this mid bcon
practiced years ago the city could bavo
saved $51N > , < )00 ) on its public works. His Idea
was that it was better to begin late than
never.
Major Foray added thnt It would bo Impos
sible to say nnytlilng too mean against the
Harbor romimny.
The bids for laying permanent slaowalks
within the lire limits were as follows :

It was evident that Ford ft Hues , the
Grant slagollthlo company , Ernest Stuht
mid Ollllillan were the lowest on certain
kinds of stone , but no member had the nerve
to move to make an award.
Major Fumy spoke In favor of excluding
Bomoof the material on which bids had boon
received , Using the argument Unit some of
the stptio was unlit , for sidewalks.
Clnlrnmn Blrkhnuor did not propose to
reject. The board had designated certain
Itinus of material and ho did not believe In
inviting competition and then rejecting tbu
bids , notwithstanding that the same cour.se
had been pursued only half nn hour before.
Mr. Uirkhauscr thought the duty of tbo
board was to upon the bids , tabulate them
and Int the council make the award.
Again Major Furay Insisted upon rejecting
sonio of the bids , arguing thnt they were too
high and that the board had the power to
do so.
Chairman Hirkhauscracrcod that the board
had Iho power , but did not think It boat to do
so.
Major Furay thought It would bo better
than to bo cowards and not make any award.
Colonel Egbert Mated that when the board
had opened the bids then Its duty ended ,
With this understanding the lowest bids
on the respective material will bo reported to
the council.
Contractor Ciallaehcr who was an Interest
ed spectator staled that it was the duty of
the board to make the awards , but that It
did not dare to da so , although It has fre
quently rejected material for curbing and
paving that was called for la the spccitlca-
tlons.
For grading streets , contracts were
awarded as follows :
Mahoney & Nolan , Thirtieth street , from
Arbor street north. II. ! ) cents : Thirtieth
street , from Half Howard to Jackson , 10
cents.
J. M. Croft , Thirty-ninth street , from
Cumlng to Hurt , K ! cents.
Cash Hrothcrs , Fourth avenue , from
Fourth avenue to the north line of Grand-
vlow addition , 11. ! ) cents per cublo yard.
There were two bids for removing the old
bulldiiiL' at Twenty-llrst and Cumlng streets
and the ono at Tlnrty-llfth and Hurt streets.
They were referred to the council and the
city attorney to ascertain If the board had a
r'fiht to remove a building that had been de
clared a nui-sancc.
For lining lots that are covered with stag
nant water and have been declared a mil-
Banco , the contract was divided between
Katz & Calloghan and CJcorgo Cantlcld.
Their bids ranged from 15 to ! (0 ( coins per
cubic yard for the earth to bo used.
Cicnrgo Cantleld was awarded the contract
for lining the cesspool at the hospital. Ho
agreed to 1111 the hole and furnish the earth
for 15 cants per cublo yard.
The iuestlon ) of replanklng the Eleventh
and Sixteenth streets viaducts was consid
ered and the chairman instructed to adver
tise for bids for doing the worlr. .
The waterworks company having failed to
lower Us main on South Eighteenth street ,
between Konvunworth and Mason , to con
form to the grade -recently established , the
chairman was Instructed to report the fact to
the council and aslc for instructions.

Omaha Doctors Orgnnlzo Mctllco- -
IjOK'il ' Association.
About thirty of the prominent physicians
of Omaha met yesterday afternoon at the
Young Men's Christian association rooms
and completed the organization of the Omaha
Medico-Legal association.
The object of tlu association Is to assist
the state board of health IK the enforcement
of the law enacted at the last session of the
legislature pertaining to the practice of
mcdlclno In Nebraska. This law becomes
operative today , and makes it incumbent
upon all physicians who dcslro to practice
mcdlclno in the state of Nebraska to submit
diplomas to the inspection of the board
of health , which , if found sunicloat
will entitle them to a cortille.Uo from the
board of health.
Dr. Lolsenring was elected temporary
chairman and Dr. O. 1' . Wilkinson socsctary.
Dr. A. F. Jonas from the committee ap
pointed at a previous meeting to secure a
complete list of all the physicians properly
recorded in Douglas county reported that
the list would bo secured very shortly.
Dr. II. Gilford from the committed an-
pointed to prepare a constitution and by-laws
reported that the same had been prepared.
Ho then proceeded to read the constitution
and by-laws which were approved by tho.
association.
Dr. Joseph Neville was- chosen president ,
Dr. Wormsloy vlco president , Dr. Sprague
treasurer and Dr. Wilkinson secretary.
Thofolluwlnir physicians were elected as a
board ( of censors to protect the association
against the admission of members who have
no right to membership : Drs. 1'eabody ,
Wilkinson , Crumtncr , Sprague and ICeyes.
There was a good deal of discussion over
the matter of Inducing the state board of
health to hold a session In Omaha so that It
would not bo necessary to send the diplomas
to Lincoln. Several of the physicians
present said they would not like to'run the
risk of sending { heir diplomas to Lincoln and
they did not see why the three secretaries
which the board ot health will employ could
not como to Omaha und make the ox'amina-
tions hero and then report to the board.
It wus deciod by resolution to bavo the
secretary correspond with Governor Thayer
and other members ot the board of health
with regard to the matter.

THE PKO1MJ3 WON .
Kiid of a Flnlit Over u County Hos
pital Nuisaiioc.
Some months ago the city council and the
board of county commissioners locked horns
over a cesspool at the county poor farm. The
light was carried Info the deliberations of
both bodies. In Iho former body the mem
bers Insisted upon the tilling of the cesspool ,
while in the latter it was given out that
nothing of tbo kind would bo done.
, At last the county has surrendered and the
councilman of the ity are smiling on ac
count of having won the light.
The cesspools in question are .at the Inter
section of Pacific street and the Belt Line
tracks. They were formed by nature and
during the greater portion of the year are
tilled with stagnant water to a depth of ten
to twenty feet. To add to the nuisance the
hospital people for a year or more have been
running their sewerage into the pools.
People living In the vicinity have petitioned
the commissioners time and again to abate
the nuisance , but as the board paid no atten
tion to the appeals , property own
ers turned their attention to labor
ing with the city council. The
lots being within the city limits ,
the council authorized the board of works to
advertise for bids for filling the lots. An
advertisement was duly inserted , and this
afternoon the contract was to bavo been lot.
Early yesterday the commissioners
were on hand , and after a talk with the
chairman of the board of public works ,
agreed to 1111 the lots at once. Chairman
O'KcofTo of the county board at once drove to
the poor farm , and ordered Canlleld & Hyan ,
who have a grading contract , to use their
surplus earth In tilling three holes. To do
this will require 7,000 yards of earth. The
new move makes It absolutely necessary for
the hospital to have sanitary sewer connec
tion with the city system. In view of this
fact , the board will at its session today
instruct the clerk to invlto bids for the con
struction of 5,000 feet of 8-Inch sower. The
line will bn made to connect with the Park
avenue line and must bo completed this
season.

The grading of Douglas street Is an expen

compiny Is concerned. The main line that
supplies the southern portion of the city with
water runs down Nineteenth street , and as
this street will bo cut sumo thirty feet , it
necessitates the lowering of the watnr mala
Just that much. This being the main supply
line. It Is Impossible to empty it of water , and
for this reason the plpo between Farnam and

PAUIS , July ill. A startling romance , as
strange as any tale of llctlon , has Just been
closed at Gronoblo , capital of the department
of Iscro. In fact , it is so sensational and full
of romantic interest thnt a successful novel
will bo written on tbo outline of tins story ,
which Is as follows :
At the famous mon.tUery of La Grande
Chartreuse , a pious monk , knoxvn by tlio
name of Dom Jean Louisdied a few days ago
after suffering terrible agony , the result of
nn accident. The good monk was found ono
day last week bruised and bleeding on the
bank of a stream tit the foot of a precipice
near La Griindo Chartreuse. There the monk
laid bleeding and groaning , Incapable of
moving hand or foot , his body resting half In
and half out of the waters of the torrent for
two whole days. At the expiration of that
time , a shepherd who had driven his Hock
down to water heard the dying monk's
groans , and hastening to the spot ho tenderly
dragged the sufferer out oftho water nnd ran
for assistance us fast as his legs would carry.
Help was soon brought to the spot , but It
needed but slight examination of the suffer
ing monk to show that there ! was no chance
of saving his Hie. His body may be said to
have- been but ono hugo , gaping wound.
When the physicians announced that the
monk could not live , his relatives were com
municated with by telegraph and thus the
real name ol Dom Jean Louis became known.
The dying tnan was at ono a most prominent
Russian general , and a nun all powerful in
Hussla. He was General Nlcolai , who had
at ono time been uovcrnor ot the Caucasus.
Ho died before any of his relatives could
reach his bedside , and with him , to all ap
pearances , Inn dlod the secret which caused
the famous soldier to enter the monastery of
La Grande Chartreuse , In IbOO , and remain
there , a model truly good man until the fatal
fall over the precipice caused his identity to
bo revealed to the world. It Is concluded
that tie | monk fell over the precipice while
wandering too near its edge , but naturally
the most sensational accounts of the affair
hint at murder and the vcniro.inco of the
once powerful Uussian governor's enemies
as being likely to have caused hl.s death.
But even this does not end the romance.
Strange to say , the cell recently occupied by
the dead mom ; whoso history is outlined
above has been given to Father Dom Charles ,
the dead man's nephew , another well-known
man of the world who has renounced its
temptations forever. Dom Charles bears , in
ro.dity , the historic nnmo of Do Brogllo , and
the Jockey club members who Know him not
so very long ago as ono of the leaders of fashIon -
Ion , were astounded when the circumstances
of General Nlcolai's death also revealed that
young Do Brogllo was an inmatoof the mon
astery. Everybody thought ho was travel
ling in Africa.
At the Pasteur Institute in this city Is a
woman named Mrne. Boisgarnier , who was
recently sent there from u hospital at Lyons ,
in order to bo treated for a possible attack of
hydrophobia Incurred under extraordinary
circumstances. Mine. Bcistrnrnier , it ap
pears , while in bed ono evening last week ,
suddenly nwoko In terror to Und tliat two pot
cats which she kept in tlio house had sud
denly gone mad and had precipitated them
selves upon the body nf their mistress and
were clawing.ind biting at her. The woman's
shrieks brought the neighbors to her assist
ance , nnd the two cats , in u state of the mud-
dost fury , were killed.
There has Just bcon held at Zurich , SwIU-
orland , a most original exposition. It was a
world's lair for rabbits , and many and most
Interesting were the varieties exhibited. At
the closing of the exhibition the representa
tives of the newspapers were tendered a ban
quet by the managers of the show , which was
almost ns interesting us the show itself. The
newspaper men sat down to a repast at which
rabbit alone was eaten , but the rabbits were
cooked in many stylos. There was rabbit
soup , smoked rabbit and salted rabbit and
bolted rabbit , rabbit au chasscaureaux and
au maurango rabbit , with mustard snuca and
civil of rabbit , rabbit with green tieus und
rabbit with cabbage , nnd llnnlly there was
devilled rabbit and curried rabbit and rab
bits' brains en pati.
Au interesting attempt to recover some val
uable relics of the Franco-Prussian war of
1STO-TI is now being made In this city. Some
people may rcmo.uber that theoniccrs of the
Forty-seventh regiment of French infantry
of the line at the capitulation of Sedan ,
burned the staff upon which their regimental
flag bung , destroyed the eaclo which sur
mounted it , and then tearing the silk Hag into
pieces , they divided it up among their num
ber , carefully concealed their remnants about
their persons nnd so went into captivity.
After the war each one of those oltloors re
turned to the colonel of their rogiincntCouut
dt ) Grammont , the fragments of the Hag
which they had been possessed of on the fatal
day of the Sedan surrender. Thus , the Do
Grammont family Is now in possession of the
remnants of the Forty---cvci < th regiment's
old Hag , and the present ofllcors of luat regi
ment nro doing their utmost to prevail upon
the family to restore the relics to the corps
formerly commanded by the late Count do
Grammont.

lor , Mr. Pratt , Mr. Mitlurd r.ad Mr. Llningor
discussed the praotibihty of purchasing ad

this U done the park will lie principally be

Great Suliome of a Young Man for
KulHln. ; t ! c Wind.
The stores and ofllco buildings of this city
will fairly reck with perfume for weeks to
come , and all because of ono man's energy
and enterprise.
This Individual has been scenting the town
with "altar of " i.d
roses , i incidentally lining
his pockets with good and lawful coin at the
same titno.
It's a little iho smoothest thing that has
been worked hero In a long time , nnd so sim
ple that a boy in the primer class could want
it as well as n man , but it would take a light
ning calculating machine to figure up the
profits on a month's irood businc.is.
The perfume vendor is armed with a lot of
llttlo bottles , in each of which is suuposcd to
be ten drops of attar of rosos. Ho enters an
oftice , Hashes his bottle , sings his llttlo song
about Iho perfume lasting ton years in a
drawer nnd scenting everything in the coun
ty without pulling the cork , brushes it
npalnst the coat of his intonued victim , tolls
him to smell of his sleeve and there vou are.
, Iu.t by way of valedictory ho collects 50
cents , leaves the bottle ana takes his departure
ture- .
tureWhat ih it ? Nothing in the world but oil
1 of rose geranium , which smells a little like
attar of roses. The dilTcrcncof O , a matter
of about 'teen dollars an ounce. Oil of rose
geranium retails at ! > 0 cents nn ounce , oil of
roso-ls worth $10 an ounce.whilo attar of roses
is actually worth more than its weight in gold.
As there are about ono thousand drops in an
ounce this vendor realizes 5 , " > 0 for IK ) cents'
worth of oil of rose geranium , supposlnc that
ho pays regular retail rates for hiu goods.
The vials are so cheap that it is allowing
him a good liberal cost prioo to say tnat ho
makes 411 cents on every M ) cent sale.
The imposition was discovered by Dr.
Oapcn. The perfume peddler wandered into
the olllca of the city physician yosterJay
and rubbed a whlll of the odor on the doc
tor's sleeve. The doctor took. a whiff of It ,
ubsentiulndodly told the visitor to call again
In the afternoon aud wont on with his wrlt-
ing. When an obnoxious smell began to
annoy him , he arose and after
carefully looking under the tables and book
cases bo ehanccu to ret , another whilT of his
sleeve at close quarters. Off came the coat ,
and In less time than It takes to tell it , the
garment was immersed in a tank of disinfec-
tiiiL' HuiJ , while the whirr of tbo telephone
bell floated out upon tbo summer air.
The chief of police was told in purple lan
guage that a certain unknown perfume dis
seminator would bo In big luck if ho was nr-
restcn before neon , for If ho was allowed to
run at largo and should show up ut a certain
olllco in the Barker block all that his chil
dren would ever know of their father would
bo thu second hand information of a mutual
friend.
"I got some of the stuff on my clothes once
in the laboratory , " sputtered the victim ,
when a reporter commented on his height
ened pulse , "and it stayed so long that it
makes me sick tn think of It. My stars , but
that poddlcr has lots of nervo. AVuugh , "
and with a genuine Comunche whoop the
doctor disappeared through the Hoor.
. The fullest Conundrum.
Why is linllers Siirsnparllln and Burdock
like the most popular so ip of the day I
Because they both cleanse the skin and
leave it soft aud velvety.o .
