Some Intercut hif : Litigation J'mmlHcit lly
tlm KeSKirlltK ol That huhiirli.
The residents of Walnut Hill addition have
leclarod war against the city of'Omaha , and
through their attorney , John Brcon , have
brought a suit in the district court to com
pel tbo city government to show Its hand ,
and also to explain what has become of 810- ,
000 , which they claim has passed from sight
and Into some person's pocket.
The petition In the case sots forth that
during tbo tall of ISS'J a number of the resi
dents nnd property owners of Walnut Hill ,
being desirous of having tbo streets of that
addition graded to tbo then established
grade , but falling to induce tno city to grndo
the streets of the addition , uudor tbo general
grading provisions of the city charter
'
planned among themselves to hav'o all of the
Btreots of the addition graded under the
special provision of the city charier , pro
viding tor the bringing of streets to the es
tablished , grndo without cost to the city ,
whenever n petition signed by throo-flfths of
the foot frontage ou the streets proposed to
bo graded was presented to the council. In
pursuance of this plan S. D. Mercer and n
number of other property owners circulated
n petition among the Walnut Hillors and
procured signatures thereto , petitioning for
the grading of the following strocu : JVIcho- .
Ins , from 1'leasant to Vista streets ; Ocorgo
street , from Hobocca street to Lowe avenue ;
Nelson street , from Boulevard avenue to
Vista street ; Hobocca street , from Mercer
nvouuo to Nelson street : Bird street , from
Mercer avenue to Hamilton street ; Eureka
street , from Morccr avcnuo to Hamilton
street ; Dale street , from Mercer nvonuo to
Uoorgo street ; Institute boulevard , from
Nelson street to Mercer itvenuo and Dewey
street , from Hamilton street to Mercer av
cnuo ,
The Idea and arrangement was to hnvo all
of the nbovo named street * worked to the
then ostaollshed grade uud that nil of the
property owners on each should share in and
bear the exist of such grading , It the signa
tures for the requisite three-fifths of the
foot frontage on all of the streets should bo
obtained on the petition.
Allege That I'lniul UxUtoil.
After procuring a number of signatures of
the uroporty owners , on July 2l > , ibOO. the
petition was presented to the council , asking
that tbo grading bo done without cost fo ( bo
city. At this point the plaintiffs aver that
When tbo petition was so presented , it did
not contain tbo requisite signatures retire-
tenting tbo three-fifths feet front ago on alt of
the streets , Notwithstanding this on
September'J , 1600 , the city council approved
the petition and nassed an ordinance declar
ing tbo necessity of grading on all of tbo
Btreots , wltb the exception or Institute
boulevard from Nelson street to Mercer
yonuo. They further allege that without
authority and by fraud the council toolc it
upon ittclf to order tha grading of such
streets as it deemed proper ,
Ttiu ordinance failed to designate or * 11 x
any grading district , and was void for tbo
reason that U was not based upon or author
ized by any petition.
On December 15 , IbOO , the Board of Puollo
Works awarded the grading contract to
Katz & Callahau at 14Jf cants per cubic vnrd
excavation.
The plaintiffs aver that this was fraud
ulent on account of tbo fraud that hod prev
iously existed m the passage of the ordi
nance. But with 'this fraud staring con
tractors and ofllci&ls in tbo face , the work
Wont on. The elty cnulneor mndo hU

conVi\.w , uoworer , tbo plaintiffs aver , called
Tor excavation only , and. tbo aggregate
cost could not unva exceeded $14,000 , allow
ing a liberal autii for grading approaches and
putting in culverts and sewer plpn. While
tbo work was going on , without tbo consent
of the petitioners , tbo city changed tbo grade
of some of the streets. entailing an additional
expense of (0,000 , which tbo plaintiffs claim ,
released them from all liability under the
special grading provisions of tbo city charter ,
\Vbeu the worit WM completed the citj
engineer estimated nnd returned ns. bolng
duo the contractors the sum of $20,109.17.
IVhnt the rinlntlffit Auk.
Klght hero Is where the plaintiffs cot in
their work. They allege that JIO.UOO of this
sum was not earned , nor owing to the con
tractors on nny legitimate basis of calcula
tion , and that the award was fraudulent nnd
fictitious.
The plaintiffs also charge that on Decem
ber 0 , isoi , the council sot as a pretended
board of equalization , and without notice to
the property owners pretended to equalize
the assessment and levy. At that meeting ,
nftor reciting on record merely Its grnvo de
liberations on the matter , the council resolved
nnd ordained that , nil the lots nnd real estate
abutting on or adjacent to the streets nnd
nlloys that had boon graded , urn It , Nicholas ,
Nelson , George , Bird , Eureka , Dale nnd
Dowcy , should bo assessed equally to pay the
con of grading , and that upon this basis the
tax was levied ,
The plaintiffs now nsk that the tax bo de
clared illcenl'nnd that the treasurer bo restrained -
strained from collecting nny of the assessment -
mont until a final hearing can bo had , Judge
Irvlno Issued a restraining order in the case

[ Train the Arknn ai City ( Kan. ) Illf patch. ]
Wo nrrivod In Gnlvcston February 9 ,
nnd hud a very pleasant tlmovlitlo
thoro. An excursion train was in read
iness to talto us over the island to show
us the now town slto of South Gnlvcston ,
with tvn object in view , of course. Wo
found the city very dull , at least , wo
thought so , coming from such n busy
business place as Arkansas City. The
Galveston people talked very dlscourag-
ingly to us about Volasco , and tried
Ihoirbestto prevent any of us from
going ; nnd if 1 were interested in Gal
veston I don't know but what I would
bo tempted to do the same thinir , for
there is surolv a great and dangerous
rival springing up in the town of
Volasco , and Galveston begins to fool
the olTccts of it
On the llth wo arrived in Volasco by
boat and were much surprised to find a
booming little city of about . ' 1,000 inhab
itants ; mid all kinds of business well
represented. The city was surveyed
and laid out July 1 , 1801 , nnd the first
lot was sold July 11. Slnco that time
the company has sold upwards of $2,000-
000 worth of property. Volasco has n
fine hotel , with electric lights and modern -
orn conveniences , besides numerous
other smaller hotels and boarding
houses , where you can obtain board as
cheap as you can at Arkansas City.
Through the kindness of the Brazes
River Channel & Dock company , wo are
tendered the use of their ffno little
steam yacht and twenty-l"vo of us
boarded her nnd took a trip down to Iho
jetties , which nro 41 miles by the
river. Wo 'found the jetties built
in most substantial character and
have been constructed 5,400 foot into
the gulf , nnd the river has washed
out between thorn H channel of
nearly 19 feet of water. I saw
while there vessels from Now York enter ,
that drew Ifi feet of water and sail
up to the wharf at Volasco witbout the
aid of n tug. There have boon a number
of vessels that have come into Volasco
drawing 17i feet of water. The width
of the jetties is 600 feet. Deep water is
n fact and no mistake. Wo then landed
nnd took a walk along the beach , where
they are building a line largo hotel at
Surf Side at a cost of 550,000. The com
pany is also buildinc nn electric railway
from Surf Side to the city , which will bo
completed as soon as men nnd money can
do it The surf and beach are the linest
1 over saw and no doubt will become ono
of the greatest resorts on the coast On
the 22d of February the first passenger
train pulled into Volaspo and there were
OVOP 1,000 citizens who wont to meet it.
It is a branch road nnd connects with
the International & Great Northern rail
road , eighteen miles distant This gives
connection with Houston , the railway
center of the southwest , which gives
Kansas nnd all our western states a
grand outlet for their products.
For these that like soort , this country
boats the world. Fine fishing in all the
bays and inlets near Volasco and no end
of oysters. Mr. G. S. Mansur , formerly
of Winfiold , Kan. , and Mr. C. A. Bliss ,
also of Winfiold , invited us to nn oyster
roast. They treated us royally. Oscar
Taylor , who is always in for fun and hav
ing a good time , wanted to bo the llrst
ono to lish out the oysters , which was
"
done with u common" garden rake. It
took but n few minutes to got
all that he wanted. They abound
in all the streams nnd bays
within n few minutes' walk ol the town ,
nnd sell nt 40c per 100 at Volnsco. The
Brazes river Hews through the center of
the country from north to south , and the
bottom lands along its banks nro consid
ered the best agricultural lands in the
state of Toxas.
In conclusion I would say that if you
have some capital you won't miss it by
investing in Velnsco real estate or farm
ing lands. Its advantages over all
other points on the coast are great , both
for business nnd pleasant homos and fine
climate. ( Information concerning city
and county will bo given by the Com
mercial club of Voln'sc6. )
There is to bo an excursion to Volasco
on the 10th of March , gotten up by the
Commercial club of that city , in the in
terest of the stockmen of Texas , and
there is another ono some time in May
that will start from Kansas City , . Mo. ,
which will bo a good "timo for all who
are contemplating a trip to go down and
see for themselves. Yours ,

failed to got it.
President Harrison cannot afford to give
the Syracuse postofllco to a democrat , so
long as u republican of ufliclcnt ability can
bo found to accept the sumo , and more par
ticularly so when a union soldier knocks at
Iho door , holding in his hand the warrant of
congress slating that the soldier shall have
the preference , all things else being equal.
In this case Mr. Dleuor is fully equipped to
discharge the duties of thoonlco.having bcon
an ofllclent deputy under Morris Dennis ,
csq. , while bo was postmaster at this place.

T MAKES THE DEAF HEAR
A Simple Device Invented by a Man in
Bridgeport , Oonn.
UCCESS OF A NOVEL INSTRUMENT
The Myntrrlo'.n HoMoration of
liynn Unseen Uo\lcc Old Throrles
StlccrHflrully Applied Its
1'uturo runn
During the past few years tnoro have boon
many rumors of Iho restoration , in some
nystorlous way , of Iho hearing of these who
voro known to' have been deaf for many
'ears. ' This had led to nn Investigation by
< ho < o Interested , and It has been found that
.his happy change has been mndo by the use
of u most sinple. ) yet ingenious dovlcowblch
vas Invented by a gentleman in Bridgeport ,
2onn. , named D. H , Wales. This device Is
iho snmo to the ears as nro glasses to the
eyes , and li simply a soft rubber disc , ar
ranged on a rubber spring , nnd so shaped
.hat when Inserted In the ocr It will focus
.ho waves of sound on the natural arumthus
'ncroaslni ; the vibrations of the latter.
The possibilities of a device of this nature
lava long been known , but the many nt-
.ompls to use thli knowledge have been such
utter failures that It was considered beyond
our present knowledge of the oar to make n
iractlcal Instrument of the kind. Consequently
quently whnn this dovlco was ilrst Invented ,
not much attention was given the same , as It
was thought to bo merely nn old enemy In anew
now dress i'but gradually this slight preju
dice was dispelled , until , at the present time ,
most physicians nnd aurlsts look kindly upon
tbo Instrument , and seem pleased at iho suc
cess It Is'mootlng.
At n recent Interview Mr. Wales made the
remarkable statement thnt to his knowledge
.ho dovlco which ho calls Sound Dlso had
never tailed where relief was afterward ob
tained by any medical , surgical or mechanical
means , excepting n powerful car trumpet ,
which ho says is moro powerful than his do
vlco. It would seem to bo on Ideal dovlco
for the deaf , as it is worn in the oar , out of
sight , for months at a tlmo , and , ns far as wo
can learn , is pronounced safe and comfortable
'or ' the patient. Many times It has proven
tsolf to bo an advancement In the science of
acoustics by relieving the most obstinate
cases which had dolled medical treatment for
years.
What may bo the ultimate result of the
use of this device whether the results thus
'ar obtained will warrant Its use in inch a
variety of cases that it will stop the progress
of deafness in the future to such nu extent
that It will avoid the use of ear trumpets wo
cannot say , but the desirability of n dovlco
of this nature , as regards Its safety , its bonc-
nt and general comfort to the user , none will
Tall to admit.

BOYS' CLOTHING.
Every season , as we have seen the new /
suits in our Boys' Department open up bright
and fresh , it has seemed as though the men
who make a specialty of manufacturing clothes
for our rising generation had reached a point
of excellence that they could never hope to
surpass. We thought so in " 89" we almost
knew it in " 9O" we positively did know it in
" 91" and here comes our new spring stock for
" 92" and throws them all in the shade. The
styles look neater , the patterns are hand
somer , and it seems as if we could give you a
little more wear for your dollars tiiis season ,
than we've been able to before In suits
