Sl'ECHT DIDN'T PAY.

liliu In n f.iwrtittt.
Judge Oilgcn listened to the evidence jes-
; erd.ty in acase in which Ud Williams sues
Councilman Chris Specht to recover paj-
ment for two suits of clothes that thu de-
'endant had ordered for William Canada and
: ierb Loavltt It occurred at the time
iv hen the letting of the contract for the
ornice work on the new union
leiKJt wis under consideration.
t seems that Specht coveted that contract ,
find believing that Canada and Leavitt vvoro
possessed of sufficient "pull" around Union
I'aclfic headquarters to get it fet him if tliov
really set their hearts on doing him u good
turn , told them that if they would get it ho
would m iku caih a , present of a suit of
clothes
Matters progrcsseil for a time , but the
iivvaid of the inntr.ict was not forth-
omlng Specht then appirentlj made up
its mind th it the deslted work was not
being doiio , because the pat tics were afi..id
that the pro niso m ido by him would not bo
fulfilled after the work was done , so he went
to Williams and left an older for a ST > 0 suit
for each of the Individtnls n.unuu Ho saw
them soon afterward and told them to stop
at Williams nn t leave their me isures This
thoi did , and in duo time the < lollies weto
dolivcred All this happened in September ,
IS'JO. and up to Mio present time the clothes
have not boon paid for
Iho interesting pirt of it is tint the con
tract was never awarded to Spccht , nnd
ho utterly refuses to p ty for the two suits
that wcreordoied by him to grace the backs
of these two Union Pacific attaches Ho
seeks to avoid piymetit on the ground that
ho cannot be held for the obligation unless
10 received something in loturn , and ho
assorts that as ho leceived neither clothes ,
contract nor material assistance in the way
of getting it ho cannot be held for the Jug-
handled debt

prep lied a number of questions to bo an-
sweicd by the jury , and in answ er to those
questions the Jurv submitted the following
lindings Mr Gibbon , the president of the
bank , talked with the nipn , but talked for
himself and not as the president of the
bank , ho induced the men to work to finish
the gra'dlng of the street , although the bank
did not icqucst it , and ho gave it as his opin
ion that the men would bo piid , but the
bank did not ptomiso to see that they were

in the case , and in accordance with these
special findings the coarl will prop.uo the
decree.

Yesterday afternoon a mooting in the in
terests of the 5-cont faro across the bridge
between this city and Council Bluffs was
held In Mavor Hemis' olllcc. There were
piesent Miyor Lawrence , City Attorney
Ha/leton , Aldermen Jcnnlmrs , Smith and
White , and 'ihomas Hvans , Leonard Uvoi-
ctt. Spencer Smith nnd Messis Siunders
andM cCaboof Council Hluffs , with la or
Bemis , City Altainoi Council and Councilmen -
men Howi'll , Wheeler , Saunders , Jjcobson
and McLeario of this city
Uciond a pietty thorough discussion of
the matter nothing was accomplished The
Council Hluffs tepieseiitatlves Ind in Iho
discussion and did mo.it of tbo talking in
the interest of the reduced faio Mayor
Ucmis presided at the meeting 'the discus
sion was started by Mr Wheeler , who in
iUircd | whether the question of a 5-ccnt faio
had not cntcied into the late municipal
election In Council Bluffs
Major Lawrence lepllcd that it had , and
ihat a vlctoii was won on that ground , as
the people believed Ib it it was onl\ just to
have a 6 cent faio
, Mr McCabe of the citi/ens' coni'Htteo of
100 , said that the compiny had infused
any concessions , and sot up the claim
that It could not afford to make any reduc
tion 'Iho people of Council Bluffs had of
fered to furnish the company with a bond ,
indemnifying it from any damages or
diminution of icceipts , providing a 0-cent
fare was mido forworklngnien
McCabe Ho.istH the Company.
Mr McCabe said tint it was the right of
the people to have tbo reduced fare ,
and that the company would suf
fer no sst-s. 'Iho * 1,500,000 of
stock of the company represents
nothing more than fso.OOO , as it was watrred
and had been Issued to the stockholders
Upon thai amount of stock an annual divi
dend of a per cent is declared Ho believed
that u cheaper faio would incte.iso the te-
cci > ts of the company and It would suitor no
losses He said that the company had violated
lated ovcr.v ngiccmeiit nnd understanding
with the city , and was receiving an
exoi bit int tariff Mr McCabe cited
tbo fact that the courts bad decided
th it a corporation should iccolvo compcnsi-
Uon for ils services , and lliat such compon-
s ition should bo dclermlncd by municipal
authority in this instance Ho believed
Omaha had mete potvor In this mattur , as no
such compiny was known In Nebraska nnd
had never been chartered or given a fran
chise The company has no rights as a
common carrier in Omaha and In his opinion
the concerted action of both cities would
result In securing what was right.
Mr Howell said that the Council Bluffs
company had no rights In Onniha and was
using the tracks of the Oin.iha Strom Hail-
way company under a lease , paying for the
privilege f. > 00 per month
Mr McCabe explained that one of his
remedies was for the city of Omaha to stop
the company from running Its cars into
Omaha , thus compelling them to como no
further than Iho center of the bridge. An
other remedy is for the Council Bluffs
authorities to icgulalo the fates , making it
not to exceed 3 cents on Broadway , which
would bring the passenger to the center of
the bride
Spencer Smith of Council Bluffs suggested
that perhaps n It cent faro could bo madu
on Douglas street from Fourteenth east to
thu bridge , and thus avoid the semblance of
special legislation , which Mr. Connell sug
gested might bo BO held by the courts.
Mr. McCabe thought that a street railway

There is now a prospect that .Tudgo

oral court after nil Ex-United States
Marshal Slaughter lias como to the ics-
cue of the fedei.il couit ofllclals In
the matter of getting money for tbo
term , and if the attorney general sect
lit to .icccpt the pioposition wired to him
\cstcrday by Distuct Allot noy H.iUcr
Iho money for jmors fees will bo
supplied As bofoio stated in Tim
Hi K , oxMaishil hlaufcliter has in his
possession sever il thousind dollirs
of United St-itcs funds awaiting .i llnil sut-
tlement with the 'lie isurj deputmcnt Mo
bajs tKit when ho scoutcs a final settlement
It will bo foii'idthat the money ho now holds
will hardly squire the uciouin and ho is
therefore unwilling to pay the money into
the treasury and wait n v car or t\v > for the
government to pay what It owes him Hut ,
seeing that the dunces of holding a Mav
term aio doubtful on account of the Ku-lc of
funds ex-Marsh il SI lughtor his agreed to
turn over to Marshal White enough money
to p iv the Jury expenses if tbo attornoi gen
eral w ill so order.
Shaking of the mattur Mr Slaugh
ter slid "I am not willing to turn this
monej olrer to the ticasury unless I am as *
sureu that it will como b ick to tbo Nebraska
district lo pay the oxpensesof thoM.iv term
I am not goneious enough to doimto the mo
of this money to the n-overnment , but to
help the Nebraska bojs out of a nolo I will
pay over enough money to dofiay the ex

will give bis consent r.nd so order it "
Why
Are they Wanted ?
Because they never spoil nice
desserts.
Because the cakes , puddings ,
creams , etc. , are made to
please the most refined taste.
Because they are extracted by
a new method , from the true
fruit , so that each has its own
natural and distinctive char
acter. That is why , Dr.
Price's Delicious Flavoring
Extracts , Lemon , Orange ,
Vanilla , etc. , are wanted. To
the connoisseur the difference
between them and the com
mon Flavoring Extracts is so
great that it cannot be ex
pressed in words. A trial
will prove their superioi
excellence-
