LINCOLN , Neb. , May 22. [ Special to Tun
UEB. ] In vlow of the recent decision of
Judge Tlbbotts In the pollco case , Mayor
"Wclr yesterday Issued the following procla-
motion :
The courti having deprived mo , under
the low , of nil practical control of the pollco
force I cannot , 111 Jiistico to mysell , assurno
ony responsibility for the work of tno
present force. Nearly all Us members hav
ing hccn appointed without , my consent bnd
nRninst my cmphntln protest It would bo a
mcro farce for mo to attempt to control or
direct their , nations. I trust that tlioy will
do their duty in n satisfactory innnnor and
"
that a full" minded public will place the
credit or censure , at tbu tuso may bo , with
the authorities who control ttiom. "
At the last mcotmp of the city council an
ordinance wus passed providing for the
election of a president of the council , nnd
dcflnliiK tuo manner In which the president
hall to elected. As It was originally
limited , the ordinntico provided that "tho
muyor and city council shall elect , " etc. ,
but before ttio ordinance was passed the
weirds "tho mayor" were stricken out. The
object of the amendment wns to prevent the
mnjor Irom vo'.lng upon the election of a
nrcsitlont In case of n llo. Mayor Weir
today announce' ? that ho will vote the
ordinance , for tlio reason that the statutes
nrovldo that the mayor ahull huvo n casting
vote upon oil questions upon which the
councllincm are equally divided. The mayor
nssorts Unit thu council can pass NO
ordinance changing thn provisions of the
statutes.
At a nicotine of the Board of Education
t'ridav night the comralttco on sites and
buildings wns Instructed to call u special
election at once to vote upon a proposition to
usuo bonds to the amount of $100,000 for the
erection of a high school building. The ne
cessity for n building to accommodate the
HiKh school has been apparent for n number
of years , but the rapid growth of the city
schools and thn necessity of providing new
ward school buildings have combined to pre
vent the crcctlou of a central high school
building. It Is bcllovcd that the proposition
will curry as the petition contained 1,8'JG
names , several hundred inoro than the
requisite majority necessary to carry the
election.

they are the heralds of early summer.
Those who are fond of ( lowers nnd hnvo n
tnsto for their cultivation will not bcgrudpo

tulips means moro labor than a bed ot pan-
ales.

generally better , however , if not shaded nt

Stvoot Peui.
The cultivation of sweet pees with their
delicious' perfume bus witnin the last few
years enjoyed awido popularity. They are
the most satisfactory plants an umntour can
grow , and nro found in every color but yel
low , nnd this it is now the aim of tbo ( lorlst
to produce.
"Wo have had the striped pansies , " re
marked a Dodge street flo.-lst to a DEC rep
resentative , "and now the yellow sweet peas
nnd blue roses will probably come some day.
Every one who expects to have a row of
swedt pea climbers this summer has already
planted tbo seeds so that blosso'ms may bo
picked all summer. Seeds planted In April
will bloom about the last of Juno. This Is
the average period ot fruition , although tbo
plant 1ms bean known to blossom forty-two
day * after the sooJ was snwn. When you
plant your peas plant thorn deep. When the
little shoots are ono and one-half inches
ahovo ground mulch thorn well and bring tbo
earth up close about the roots. Ono ot my
forcmou at the Twenty-fourth street green
bouso says this is ono of the surest ways ot
securing good colored , profusu'.y blooming
plants. Another important point to consider
is strong bushing. This means brush nl
least seven fcot high. Sweet peas
requlro moro water than almost any other
llowor that is grown In tbo garden , nnd dur
ing tlio dry season they must bo regularly
and freely wot. Ono other thing , after your
plant is lu bloom , pick the blossoms every
day If vou wish your flowers to last , and sac
rifice the pods as fast us they como.

"Thoro is ono point , however , that cannot
