The rules nnd regu lations fix the salaries of the various officials nud employes of the department nnd the point was made that the board could take 110 action without amending the nilos. The matter of tbo payment of the bills pro- cntcd by the departments at Omaha and Lincoln came up for an animated discusslori. U'heso expenses have been quite Uoavy for the reason that both departments have been but recently established and both have had to bo supplied with the necessary stationery , blanks , office furniture , etc. It was finally decided that the bills for Biipplles should bo allowed and paid out of the amount appro priated for stationery , etc. . for the State lion rd of Transportation.

( This state- wont shows that the weighmastor's office at the Omaha department Is now on n solid nnd sure financial basis itnd that it is moro than Boif-sustuinlng.

Senator Paddock toft last night for Wash ington. Speaking ot his Otoo land purchase bill , ho said : "Thoro Is nothing now to bo said about Iho bill. It has boon written alt over several tlmos. The slmplo facts About tno bill are those : A part of tbo great Otoo roi- orvatlon was opened for settlement years ago , leaving about 40,000 acres In possession of the Indians until 1881 , when a bill was passed appraising the remainder of the lands , and the Indians were removed to Indian territory. Soon after this the price of lands In tbo west began to rlso very rapidly and It was decided to sell these lands at public auction. In 1SSor ! 1883 , I do not now remember which , tbo sale took place. People came from nil directions to attend that sale on the Otoo reservation below Blue Springs. The lands cold at fabulous prices und many of the purchasers under the wtldoxcltotnent of the hour paid twice ns much as the lands were worth , and in some Instances the prlco paid was moro than the lands are worth now , The consequence has been that much of this land bus povor bt-on entirely pain for. It was sold , ns 1 remember , for one-fourth cash nnd tbo bal ance In three equal payments duo In ono , two nnd three years from the data of salo. Some of these deferred payments nro still unpaid , and the owners tmvo bocn struggling along u nil or the burden for several years. Now , my present bill Introduced a few weeks ago Is to provide for an adjustment of this matter In nome way satisfactory to the Indians so as to secure n rebate upon the un reasonable prices pnlil bv the purchasers for these lands. The Otoo Indians nro rich , and f think they would rather have these de ferred payments all cleaned up so that they can gat some cash ana lot the unlucKy pur chasers out of the deal in n fair and reason able way. "I think there will bo but llttlo difficulty In getting the Indians to ngroo to Iho rebate of the PXCOSS that was paid for these lands. " Referring to the appointment of MsDlll on Iho Interstate Commerce commission the senator said : "I was very much disappointed in not seeing Judge Lambortson appointed , but I am glad the president selected a west ern man. I tried to get him to agree to make his selection from men who resided west of the Missouri , but ho would only agree that tlio man ho would appoint should reside west of the Mississippi. McOIll is a good man , bub I cannot help fooling disappointed. " / WON'T CAUSE A WAR. Itntn nn Outliiiunil Slilpnii-nts troni llaatrlco Will Ilu L'crnmmmt. Dispatches from Beatrice seek to convoy tho" impression that a rate war is threatened because the Burlington put In a tariff on outbound business from that point , but the Idea Is scouted at B. & M. headquarters ns absurd. The Hock Island has put in a similar tariff , but the Union Pacific is In a huff. The question at Issue was appealed some days ago to the Big Six , but there Is no like lihood of a war. The Burlington people believe the tariff is a fixed thing , oven If General Freight Agent Crosby did use _ llno strategy In getting the vote of permission and afterwards adjourned meeting of the Transmissuuri association against tbo protest nf the chairman. The commissioners will probably pass on the matter - tor this month. Hopiibllriiii Vnllny OMlcers.

City Knglnrcr KxptiilnVlnit the rropcuiMl Chnngr * Will Hr ll rimlou of tin ) I'rojnrt mill Objections to It Stilted. A meeting of a dozen of the Intended property owners was Hold In tbo rooms of tbo Heal Estate Owners association yester day afternoon to discuss the advisability of socu.'ing an additional cat of Douglas street , so ns to mnko n straight , radical grudo from Sixteenth to Twentieth street. Whoa it camu to an expression of opinion , however , there was no occasion lor argu ment , as they all felt ono way. Each nnd every ono of them was of the opinion that the cut should bo roado , and the only ques tion was a to the best and surest , way of accomplishing it. EX'Uovertior Saunders was asked to pro- sldo and L. II. Korty was elected secretary. C. II. Brown said that no had heard that folks' blna sight was bettor than their fore sight , nnd slnco tbo Douglas street grade was completed ho felt sure that it was so. Now , that the grading was done , everybody could see that It was not what they wanted. Furthermore , ho was sntlstlod that It would not bo what they wanted until a radical grade was mndo on a boo line from Sixteenth to Twentieth. Ur. Tildon llkowlso thought that snch a grade would bo the proper thing , but if It could not bo obtained on account of the ob jections to lowering tlio Seventeenth street Intersection , ho believed that , i straight grade from Seventeenth to Twentieth would bo the next best thing. Ur. Grossman stated that the greatest op position might bo expected lrptn the Now York Llfo nnd BEE buildings , ns such a cut would leave the roar corners of those build ings high nnd dry unless special arrange ments were mndo as to grading Seventeenth street south of Douglas. Ho said ho hod taliced to Mr. Hosowater about the matter , nnd that gentleman had stated that ho would not bo opposed to n further cut of eighteen Inches or two feet , or possibly a little moro at the alloy In the rear of Tun BKE building , as stops could bo put In on the sidewalk at that point. The doctor wes sure tuat both Mr. Hosowator nnd the agents of the Life build ing would accrdo to any reasonable request. What Is I'ronosod. City Engineer Tillson was asked to explain what changes the proposed cut would en- ponder. Ho replied that a straight grade from the west side of Sixteenth street to the east side of Twentieth street would necossl- tate a cut of thirteen feet at Nineteenth street , ton font at Eighteenth nnd seven foot at Seventeenth. This would give a rise of about seventeen foot in a block or a 0 per cent grado. If this was done and Seven teenth street was then graded straight to Fariiam street it would necessitate a cut of about tight foot at the rear corner of THE BEU and Llfo buildings. This would not bo dcop enough to endanger tbo foundations , but it would expose the foundation wall ot THE BEE building , which is not of the same material as the superstructure. This could ' bo remedied , however , by facing the oxpo'sod part with a vt-noerlng of the upper granlto. Another plan would bo to leave the sldowalk whore it is and reduce the width of the street between the curbing from sixty to fifty foot and slope the live-foot strip on cither side down to the now curb lino. Suuh a cut would get down pretty close to the boilers of the Llfo building , wliich nro under the mlddlo of the street. Seventeenth street at present is on a dead level from Farnnm north to the alley , and then descends to Douglas. If it Is desired to maintain this grade , the proposed change at Seven teenth nnd Douglas would give a corresponding cut at the alloy , or an uneven grade would give even a less cut at the alloy. If Mr. Rosewater was willing to have a cut of tnroo feet made at the alloy it might admit of a live-foot grade at Seventeenth and Douglas. , All or Nothing. Mr. G. O. Barton was in favor of compell ing a radical grade. Ho felt oven moro posi tive In the matter than when the first grade was proposed , nnd though it would bo an in justice to property owners to grade the three blocks west of Seventeenth uuloss the block east of It was treated in the same way. Ho knaw that Douglus street was properly busi ness property if It was cut as it should bo , and no wanted it dono. Property owners who were damaged should bo paid and the work performed. If the street couldn't be cut ns It ought to bo , ho was In favorof letting it alone. It was finally decided to appoint a committee - too to wait on Mr. Rosowntor and the agents of the Now York Life building and see how much of n cut they would bo willing to ac cede to. The committee consists of Messrs. Pundt , Grossman and Barton and the citv engineer. They will report Saturday after noon at 3 o'clock. Tin : r A ii i : , t tn no HT.

THE BEE and Examiner Bureau of Claims In the course of its work for inventors has observed a serious defect In the patent laws , and this Is expected to bo ono of the llrst subjects that will recolvo the attention of the committee. The trouble Is the lack of a penalty sufllclont to discourage infrlncromonts of patents at the hands of irresponsible persons. A civil suit hai no terrors for a man who has no property that can bo levied on to satisfy as Judgment. Chairman Tilman , on the comnitttoo on patents , is convinced that something should bo done to correct this evil. The proposition , bo says , that the committee will consider Is to make persons who knowingly and wilfully infringe patents , hablo to criminal prosecu tion. This will bo peculiarly advantageous to the client ? of THE Biu : and Examiner Bureau of Claims , because the patents secured by that agency are usually so broad as to leave llttlo room for competitive devices without Infringement. When on iuronior secures a patent through a careless attorney it is usually based on some ono simple claim and It Is easy for a plagiarist to copy the essential features of this device without committing a tochnlo.il infringement. But'ftm BEK and Examiner patents are air tight and the inventions they cover cannot bo Imitated in any important , particular without u direct violation of the law.All All that Is needed , therefore , U to malto the law strong enough to bo an ofllciont protec tion , A good example of tbo bureau's methods is found In a patent Just Issued through it to Mr. G ergo Richardson of Latrobe - trobe , Cal , , for an improved bevel square. This Is a very simple but highly valuable in- vuntlou by which accurate measures of boards , etc. , can bo roadlly socurou. It would have boon easy to secure a patcmt on ouo of Its most conspicuous features , but the bureau spool Hod half a dozen points' on which novelty was claimed. The claim was In part allowed ana in part rejected , whereupon - upon tbo bureau tiled an argument In behalf of the rejected points. The result was that a tintont was finally granted broad enough to protect Mr. Klchardson in all of bis rights and this In loss time than an attorney would have taken to secure ono that would have boon worth llttlo uioro than the wax In Its seals.

"Natural , beautiful lakes , its pootio nnd romantic surroundings , ' ' is the enthusiastic way in which the South Side Citizens club talked of Syndicate pane. The meeting of the South Side Citizens club was held at Fred Mueller's hall , Eigh teenth nnd Vinton streets , last night. The attendance at the meeting was good , and the discussion of the various topics before the club was animated. When the mooting was called to order it wus presided over by Michael Donovan , who had boon chosen chairman. He announced that the subjects open for discussion were on parks and viaducts. IsaacS. Hascall immediately arose from bis seat and stated that the contemplated Fifteenth street viaduct would bo 82U feet in length and would bo ono of the best and most beneficial viaducts in the city. Even prop erty owners and business men of Fnrunm street wanted it in order to lap the southern poitlon of the city. "Everybody is in favor of the project , " said Mr. Hascall. "It will give us a direct line into the central portiou of the city. The building of this viaduct Is a necessity , but its construction or establishment must bo determined by the mayor nnd city council. " James C. Bronnau then stated that tbo South Omaha syndicate ) had offered for sale llfty acres of Syndicate park at $1,000 au aero , and in his opinion it was the best proposition Ottered. Thu grounds wore al ready a park. Ho believed the south side people wanted those grounds for u park. Jacob Copp agreed with Air. Brennan and thought tbo parK commissioners should bo induced to buy the tract. Mr. Hascall' thou stated that a protect had boon made against the purchase of the Clarlc tract. Ho did not want it. On tbo now proposition everybody would llko it , because It was a natural park water , pui-o bubbling water , emanated from the natural springs. The water was from the bowels of tbo earth , and It would bo a healthy , Invigorating sum mer drink. In his talk Mr. Hascall also spoke of South Omaha bolng combined with Omaha , out In case it did not people from either city would flock to tbo resort du Sundays and learn their children to drink pure spring water. By carrying nut thu proposed pro ject the entire olty , Up claimed , would bo benotitcd. Ho thoucm the land was cheap desirable and suitable ; ! and to sustain his position bo introduced the following resolu tion , which was unanimously adopted : Whereas , A petition 1ms boon clronlutod ox- prosslnit tbti pruforlrwco of t m property holders as to Iouutlna.ii.park for the southern pnitof Uniahii , and ' Whereas , Klnco thof tilraulatlon of the said potlt.on a. very fuvorablu proposition liasbuiui made for thu sale to the olty ot Spring I/.il > o park , therefore bo It yn Kcsolvcd.

DENVDII , Colo. , Jan. C. Dr. Graves has been sustained In his denial of the confession be is said to have made. On the night that Dr. Graves was taken to the Jail , Mr. John Adams , vice president ot the Dimon & Adams Manufacturing com pany of this city , ud who is largely Inter ested In business at Pullman , ill. , fol lowed the ofllcors. It was simplv an act of curiosity on his part to see how Dr. Graves would act. Ho heard the language used , but the words were those of the deputies as tnoy were plying , ho said , the doctor with questions and at the same time were suggesting answers. Dr. Graves seemed so surprised by the verdict that ho did not know what these men were sayincr. Mr. Adams says the doctor merely answered yo's or no to the questions asked and did so In an absentmindcd manner. Mr. Adams has waited until now without saving anything about the matter because ho did not wish to get mixed up in the affair. The doctor has not boon iutorviowod today , as the order of the district attorney forbids this. this.Mrs. Mrs. Dr. Graves had a rolanso today , rav ine wildly at times. Tomorrow Judge Furman will make a mo tion in the supreme court for another trial for tbo doctor , but it is not thought that it will be granted. In case it is not Dr. Graves will bo sentenced on Saturday and taken to the penitentiary at Canon City on Monday next , whore ho will await tbo result of the appeal to the supreme court In his case. Colonel IS.illon at Homo , PROVIDENCE , R. I. , Jan. 0. Colonel Daniel Ballon , the man whom Dr. Graves Is reported to have said instigated the murder of Mrs. Barnaby , arrived in this city at 5:35 : yester day. His wife was with him. A reporter mot him at Worcester and rode down herewith with him. As soon as ho arrived in Worcester ho mailed a letter in the railroad station. Ho then led his wife into tbo ladies' waiting- room , and leaving her there came out into the rotunda to buv a paper. The reporter approached preached at this time and asked him for an interview. "You must not ask mo to tallc , " said ho , "under the present circumstances. With such an avalanche of stuff coming down It would bo unwise to talk. " "Will you deny this story of conspiracy ? You must have heard what Dr. Graves Is reported to have said 1" "Yes , " said Colonel Ballou , "I know It all , but I am not going to speak of it now. Vou must not ask me. I say this firmly , with every dnstro to bo courteous. Korno time , probably , I shall have something to say , but not now. " Finally , as other questions evoked no ro- spouse , Colonel Ballou was asked for a biography of himself , it balnc impressed upon him that his character was being at tacked on all sidos. "Not nt present , " said ho. "I may bo will ing to later. " Colonel Italian was looking worn out , and had lost considerable flesh slnco ha loft this city six weeks ago to uttond the trial at Den- ve'r. There seems to bo no good reason to believe ho was shadowed on the way oast. Ho will remain In this city for some timebut would not divulge his plans. T\\o lloilltii Wanhoil Asliorn. LONDON , Jan.
