tlon of J. II. Dumont , street commissioner ,

Mr. Dumont. Like the former motion this
ono prevailed ana the ofllco was declared
vacant.
Mayor Bomls vetoed the reform ordinance
relating to the plumbing department. Ho
thought the ordinance was not In the Interest
of reform and retrenchment. Ho thought
thnt the city could hire men at from $00 to
870 per month Instool of paying them J4 lo
$3 per day. The ordinance , the mayor said ,
failed to repeal the section allowing the de
partment a clerk at $00 per month. The veto
was sustained.
Reports from the old elty olllcors were re
ceived and placed on file. Chairman Blrk-
hausor of the Hoard of Publlo works stated

erect a stairway at its crossing over Twen
tieth street. Ho had received the Informa
tlon that the railway intended lo abandon
the crossing as a point to tttko on or put off
passengers.
The mayor nominated J. H. Wlnspear for
street commissioner. The appointment was
confirmed by n vote of 12 to 5 and
the bond approved. John H. Duller was ap
pointed licon < o inspector and special agent
for the legal department. The appointment
war. laid upon the table.
P. J. Hoffman of Chicago sprung a son-
Ballon In a letter. Ho had sent a letter to
Mayor Bomls which was transmitted to the
council. Mr. Hodman stated that the Fen ton
Metallic company used fraud lu securing the

bid was 100 per cent above tbo list price ot
the articles to bo furnished.

to got ready for public work. Ho advised

ment districts.

i street cleaning performed during Iho months
fi i of August , September , Oclobor and Novom-
KJ ber , 1839. Ho had visited Iho Board of Pub
] | llo Works , whore two members had advised
I I paying the bill. The council would have to
I ' decide whether or not the claim wns just
I and the work properly performed. Mr.
W Chaffco wanled to hear the report of ox-City
I Attorney Popploton. The opinion was road.
I Mr. Council stated that if Mr. Squires had
I performed his work ho could collect the
I whole of his pay ; if ho had performed half
I of Iho work , ho could collect half of the pay ,
I but if ho had not done any of the work , then

l Mr. MoLoario said there was an Inclina-
' lion upon tlio part ot some members not to

. derslood that the city engineer hnd never
! complained to the Board of Publlo Works of

. the streets wore not swept as well as the
f , Btrocls of other cities. The asphalt streets
wore wall swept , but the stone paved streets
{ were left In wretched shape.
B , Mr. Jacobson was of the opinion that if
i ( Squires was entitled lo bis money Ibo Dill
< should bo paid. It was against Iho best in-
B ' loresls of the city to allow a bill to remain

J l remarked that Squires had failed to put chase
I | sweepers as bo was Instructed. Mr. Spccht

The Union Paclflo grievance committees
have received n loiter from Assistant Oon- .
cral Mnnagor Dickinson In reply to their
proposition of last wcok , which asked for n
schedule of Increased wages and u number of
changes In ruloj.
Mr. Dickinson says In that communication
that the now schedule ofvagos submitted
by tbo committees proposes an nggrogato In
crease of many thousands of dollars , but ns
the chaugo of scale varies on difTotont divi
sions ho did not know what the total advance
would amount to. Ho therefore nskcd the
committees for lima to hnvo the computation
mndo before giving thorn nn answer or re
ceiving the full committeos.
The inference is that Mr. Dickinson is
willing to tnko up the various divisions and
consider each on its own merits , but ho adds
in plain and unmistakable Innguaga that the
Union L'aclllo will not entertain u proposition
for n general advance in wages. In this con-
noctlou bo says his company is paying Its
employes as well as any railroad in the coun
try , and much bolter than many of those in
ths west. The letter is dovotcd to this ques
tion of wages. Its tone is not hostile , and in
fact is very courteous without being com
mittal.
In discussing tbo situation Chairman
Kisor of the conductors' grievance committco
said :
"Tbero is no danger whatever of a strike ]
If there is such an impression it should bo
corrected , because it may unjustly injure the
Union Pacltlc and it Is liable to prejudice our
causo. Mr. Dickinson tins mot us hi friendly
spirit. We are sure our requests will receive
fair and respectful 'consideration , nnd wo bo-
HOVH nil differences will bo settled without
any trouble. Mr. Dickinson has promised
a conference with the full commit
tees ns coon as ha can finish
examining tbo propositions wo laid before
him and particularly the schedule for an In
crease of wugo . Ho says it will require
considerable flgurlut : nnd take some time ,
and wo are awaiting the result. You can
say that the conductors have only the moat
friendly feeling for the company and have
ao intention of cuuslntr trouble. "
"I never know n time for many years
past , " said Chairman Rollloy of the train
men's grievance committee , "when there
was less likelihood of n strike. This meat-
ing Is a regular annual affair , and wo have
no cause for complaint at our reception by
tbo railroad officials. Wo are confluent our
differences will bo settled amicably. "

tbu Muttur of Comity .SHliirlca ,
Tbo county commissioners are having any
thing but harmonious times at tbo star
chamber moetlngs they are holding these
days as a committee of the whole.
In the committee rooms , as at the open
sessions of the board , tbo democrats bold the
edge. They fully realize this fact andtake
every opportunity of turning their informa
tion in a channel wbero It will make political
capital.
It now develops that tbo meeting Monday
afternoon was a stormy one. Major Paddock
occupied the chair and at the
same time proposed to do tbo
greater part of tbo talking. The
county board employs Oscar Stevens as
n private clerk. It is a wall Known fact that
there is no law authorizing the employment
of such a man at a salary of fclOO per month ,
orntanv other sura. Two years ngo Mr.
Bcrlm argued that the board had no right to
employ n cleric , nnd ever slnca that date ho
has voted against paying the clerk's salary ,
claiming that such payment was contrary to
law.
Monday afternoon the question was again
brought up. Major Paddock insisted that
County Clerk Sackett should name Stevens
as uU deputy , Tbis Uo county clerk refused
to do. claiming thntcwhun ho named n deputy
ho wanted the prlUUogo ot selecting the man ,
A republican member of thn board uuggostjd

were ordered discharged , the board finding
that moro were employed than were nctuallv
needed. It was also learned that ono clerk
wai employed at $15 per wcok. wbon tbo
law provides that such clerks shall receive
but SCO per month. "
This Is the same principle for which Mr

which had for its principal object the enter
tainment of visitors to Chicago from the
the fatherland during the World's fair sea

It is now reasonably certain that General
St. Clair , as chairman of the national com

have charge of the bill asking for $ o,000,000

is also said thit if this-appropriation stands
hi the way of an appropriation to support tbo
national board officers , tbo latter will not
exert themselves for the $5,000,000 bill. This
arrangement has yet to bo ratified by the
Chicago directors and perhaps by the hoara

At 11 n.m. tbo position of the Elder became
most critical. Tim tide was rising , nnd ns It

The state assembly of the Nebraska Knlchts
of Labor got to work eatly yesterdny
morning and there were about twenty dele
gates present for the lirst time. They were
huddled in the small nnto-room fcr half an
hour waiting for tbo latch string to slide the
oolt nnd the edict issue from the master
workman admitting them to the fold.
Ex-Senator Van Wyck drifted in nnd
pretty soon Mr. Chamberlain of the Stroms-
burc Headlltrht stopped out. After a
genial handshake the conversation between
the ox-senator nnd the proprietor of the
Headlight naturally drifted upon the Boyd-
Thavor oplsuao.
"I suppose the republican adminis
tration will have to llx a place for the old
general now , " said Mr. Van Wyck.
"Oh , that matter Is all fixed , " said Clmm-
bcrlaln. "President Harrison is going to re
call Egan and send Tlmver to Cmli as min
ister for the United States. "
"Then wo would huvo war sure , " said Van
Wvck. "But if Colonel Colby would only
send Linden Tree down there for General
Tbayor to ride then the Chilians would sur
render without a struggle. Poor Linden
Tree. He has no tail or mane now s > inco
President Harrison BO I that bridle , " and
then everybody lauRhed.
It is understood that vorv strone efforts
are being made to weld the Knights of Labor
nnd tbo farmers alliance at this session.
Most of the country delegates are
members of both organizations and
they are straining every nerve to harinonizo

The lemon which yields the
finest flavor is grown in Sic
ily , an island in the Mediter
ranean. It is from the flavor
ing principle extracted from
the rind of this fruit that Dr.
Price prepares his Delicious
Flavoring Extract of Lemon.
While other lemon extracts
in the market have the taste
and odor of turpentine , Dr.
Price's Extract has its in
tense lemony taste and smell
and this is due to the fine
quality of fruit from which
it is made.
