An ndjourncil meeting of the Chnutauoun

The report was adopted without remark ,
after which the meeting adjourned. There

had to innku was made at ttio last meeting.
The item of indebtedness under the head
of "accounts" above given , Includes the

S. E. Mnxon Hied a petition in district

that was sprurg on the citizens several years
ago. Maxon entered into a contract with the
coiincol to draw plans for the lower Broad
way onglno house , and after the plans had
been drawn ho scat In his bill
forSll'J. Some one started a report that
Muxon had been implicated with an ex-
member of the council whereby the latter
was to receive a part of the proceeds In ro-
tuni for his Influence in getting the Job.
This story gained enough credit among the
tildorman to brlr.g about an investigation , iind
in the meantime the council refused to pay
the bill. In the midst of the investigation
Aldormnn Patrick Laey dlc'd , and as ho hnd
tnken the load In ferreting out the tvoublo ,
most of thu information on the subject of the
alleged deal died with him. There seems to
bo no ouo clso who knows nnythlng about
the matter , and the probability is that the
claim , will uo settled without thu case coming

Mow Out the Safety Valve.
A loud hissing nolso attracted the attention
of people all over the city yesterday after
noon at half past one o'clock. It came from
the canning factory , which was started tit
yesterday for the season. The factory was
surrounded by a hundred or moro woraoi
and girls who were waiting for i
chance to go to work , and about the same
number of men nnd liovs who had como to
look on and see their sisters and Mvoathearts
begin their summer's toll. Tne encineer was
busy celling up steam , and everything wan
progressing finely , when suddenly the snfot >
valve blew of ! with a loud report , and the os
calling steam caused the loud hissing re
ferred to.
Several teams which were standing near
became frightened and started to run , nm1
the crowds about the factory did
likewise , and in the melco n number
narrowly escaped being trampled on
nnd severely injured. The engineer left
his post and took to his heels for safety ,
thinking that the whole bnlldlnir was likely
to come down around hU cars. When It
became evident that there was no dun pot
everything qult'tod down and thu work wont
on as usual , ns soon ns everyone had recov
ered from his fright.

the Sowers.
City Engineer Tostcvin has had a force of
men at work for .some time past cleaning out
the sewers In various parts of the city. In
some places the sediment has reached a
depth of three feet In the bottom of tlio
pipes , aim this is being removed by
tno men who creep through thn largo sew
ers armed with iioso , with ivhich thov drive
out the sediment ahead of them. It is not u
very attractive Job , but the men who do It
get $ D n day and nro satisfied. The Thir
teenth street sewer has already been
put in proper shupo , and tlio men
are now ut work on that on
Ninth avenue , with tlio prospects that
in a short time It too will bo completed.
From tbo present indications the city sur
veyor thinks his first opinion , that that sewer
system ns now being revised will bo sufficient
for nil the city's needs , will bo vindicated.
All the sewage of the city and all the waters
of Indian creek from the corner of Fifth

A MiiKiiiuilinnus Purpose.
Hon. Bingcr Herman , chairman of the com-
mltteo on claims , house of representatives ,
D. C. , in communicating with W. U. Hearst ,
editor and proprietor of the San Francisco
Examiner , and who is also at the head of the
Examiner bureau of claims with which Tun
OMAHA BII : is associated , says :
"The claims already Hied in the Interior
department aggregate $121,000,000 , as per val
uation , nnd the greater proportion repre
sent losses by poor people and by those of
our citizens who ventured their lives mid
their properties in the then wild nnd unde
veloped west. This session of couurcss bus
now recogni/.cd the. right of these claimants
to indemnity from the government mid to
compensation tor thobo losses in the earlier
years by the hostile or depredating Indians.
Hut few of these people had a hope that the
day of compensation would over come , ns
since 1S.VJ out lltllu positive ussuranco was
over given them by congress of linnl pay
ment. In the ineanwhlle.many claim agents ,
taking advantage of the discouragement of
these claimants , easily pcrsundcd them to
enter into contracts and fee agreements
whereby IJliSi and even fi'J per cent was
agreed to bo paid in the event of the
payment of the claim , thus enriching these
ngcnts nnd diminishing the payment of
the claimant , to this extortionate nnd uujusti-
finblo amount. This manifest Injustice was
apparent to congress , and it bocamu our
cllbrl , whllo providing a remedy of payment
to the claimant , also to protcrt him against
the Suylock attornevs and claim agents , nnd
to tills end wo provide in tlio now way.
" 'Tliat nil snlos , transfers or assignments
ot any such claims heretofore or hereafter
made , except such as have occurred in the
duo administration of decedent's estates ; and
all contracts heretofore made for fees and
allowances to claimant's attorneys uro here
by declared void , and all warrants Issued by
tlio secretary of the treasury In paymontdf ;
such judgments .shall bo made paynblo ami
delivered only to thu claimant or his lawful
hulw , executors or administrators or trane-
foren tinder administrative proceedings , ex
cept so much thereof as shall bu allowed the
claimants' attorneys , by the court for prose
cuting said claim , which may bo paid direct
to such attorneys , nnd thu allowances to tlio
claimants' attorneys shall bo regulntod nnd
fixed by the court at the tlmo of rendering
udgmont in uncli rusu and entered on record
Is part of the tlndings thereof , but in no itaso
shall thu allowance exceed in per cunt of the
Judgment rocovured , except in claims of loss
than J.00 , or where unusual services have
been rendered or expenses Incurred by iho
claimants' attorneys , In which case not to ex
ceed L'O per cent of such Judgment shnll bo
allowed by the court.1
"It will bo observed that this is a maxi
mum limitation for tnu court , and to Know
what will bo a reasonable compensation for
the attorney within these limlu
the court will ascertain what ser
vices the attorney bus rendered and
make the fee allowance nojordmcriy. Now
1 fnarn from your communication that it is lu
contemplation by you to organize u special
bureau in Washington city for thu collection
of these claims and to do so for a merely
nominal cost to the claimant. This notice
will glvo Iho first substantial hope to thous
ands of poor and worthy claimants tint it is
possible that a cheaper remedy may bo af
forded them than that herutoforo held out oy
thu unreasonable terms of exacting claim
adonis ,
"Your generous purpose will also have a
tendency to oblige these nirunts to recognize
a inoru Justand moro conselonnble basis fur
compensation than at present adopted ' by
them. "
