Mayor Lawrence presided over the tawtinc Mr Wright opened proceed Incsby taking tip tbe demands formulated hi tbe coun cil and presented at tbe last conference. The city requires : Payment of cost of illlinc Avenue A : payment of all tpticml tuxes delinquent ; payment of claims lor intersections. , eta , us M't out in t > uit now pending in superior court ; payment to abuttiuc properly owners the amounts , due for pax-ing between ralli and ot > e loot on either side ; oommutation tickets , , twenty rldfi. for fl , unlimited , transferable , on sale utitown. The city v\ILI then dismiss mil Jor penalties under H-ccnt fare ordinances , equity suit to forfeit charier and , repeal the J > -ceut fare ordinance , J'riiixihitinn of tlif > Uomjmnj. Taking ap the proposition by paragraphs , Mr.Vncnt said. "We are williur to puy for IHrhic Avenue A ; we never obR-cted to thifVe are \iilliue to pay all special taj.es now delinquent We s-nppusod we had been paying them rlsrnt alone , and it was , only an overMrbt on our part that they were not paid before. In regurc to tbe pay for intersection paving , mentioned in para graph H. we want the matter settled in the courts. No ore wants us to pay what we are not legally bound to pay , and there is an honest fiifterence tietween us as to our legal rights.Ye will pay all monev doe property owners as provided in paragraph 4. For three months we have been consider ing the advisability of putting in a 5-ccnt fare In August a petition WHS submitted to us asking for this , and beanutr the signa tures of between 350 and 230 citizens of Council BlufTs , each of whom claimed to be making two trips over t.be line each day between Council Bluffs and Omaha. Along in November vi e determined to compromise with them and put into force January 1 a commu tation ticket giving fifty rides for 3.50. peed for thirty days , und jiou-transferable. For the lat > t three mouths tne road has been only paying interest on the money invested and the costs ol running. AVe now stand ready to compromise with you on ttie same basis of fare as we did last fall , and if you want the negotiations f go on further J would suggest that the ° i way to carry them on would be by ap4 ing a committee , consisting ol C. M. Har. joi the citizens at large , the citj attorney ana the attorney for the company , to arrive at an agreement. " Oin'Btion ol Tarn Onlle Important. Alderman Keller replied to this that tne little difference on the subject of fare was the very reason why the agreement could not beieachcd then and there , and that be was opposed to considering tbe proposition. He asked Wrirht what was"to be done about the paviuc on Pierce street. "AVe will pay all of the property owners executing those who have released us. and we shall do to them as we may think best. " was "Wright's ' reply. Spencer Sniith called "Wrijrbt's attention to the fact that tbe pav ing on Pierce street was put in after tbe motor line , and that the cost of the paving/lad accordingly been assessed against tbe company instead of the property owners , so that the property owners hud never had anything to sign away. "Wrigin assumed a look that would havedone creditlo a country rustic who hadjust learned that be bad been duped by a green roods man und ejaculated : Then these releases that we have are not wortn a snap and I suppose we shall have to pay lor the paving on Pierce street , too , although I assure you didn't . " we esiwet to. Uity Attorney Hazeltop pinned Mr. TVrigV.i down to 1 be one main point at issue , -which WUB whether or not the company would agree to n 5-cent fare. Wright re- Tiliedthut it would not. Alderman Keller thereupon moved that unless the company WIIE willing to concede a commutation rule of twenty rides for 1 no further consideration should be given tbe matter. .Nicholson seconded ended the motion , and it was carried with out a dissenting rote. The meeting then adjourned , without , apparently , making a single step of progress toward the desired end. brill Aftur The Tax Do deem.

WASHINGTON , .Ian. 4 Secretary Morton expresses surprise today at what be records as a misrepresentation ot his position in re- pard to the agricultural experimental sta tions appropriation and of his action in omitting that branch of the service from the estimates of department expenditures for the fiscal year "As n matter of fact. " said the secretary. "I have taken tbe same course in this re spect as was adopted by my predecessor. Mr. Rusk 1 have taken jrains in a state ment included in my annual report to deduct tTtiO.d'JO ( tne amount omitted for experiment stations ) from the total decrease in the esti mations , with the erDlanntion that it is n SUE improperly included in the department ap- pronriation , and to claim cr cit onl.\ for the net decrease of nearly 300,050.SH ! ! . "The fact is plain that no sugcestion for the abolition of the state stations was sug gested by me The inclusion in my estimite of $25,000 for the purpose of experiment sta tions indicates I do not expect the work of that division to cease , although it is well unuerstooJ that it is maintained us the con- icctiug link between the department und the state stations , and for tbe special benefit of the latter , it is obvious I would not have wasted words in my report urginc the neces sity for a more satisfactory an d clearer defini tion of the regulations ol the stations to the department , and , vice versa , had my object been merely to extinguish them altogether. I am afraid tbe misapprehension existing in the minds of .most people is due to some mis- renresentaiion of a few who ought to think some before they talk. " I.XTIKTAINCD THE CABINET.

Byers of Shelby. if he can control his delegation , can nomi nate Stone Jor speaker on tne first ballot. but he says he will not withdraw und it is current talk in the lobby thut be wus developing unexpected strength ut Stone's expense. Both B.iers and Chairman Biythe are tttorneys for the Milwaukee railway and have un understanding with each other. If this Is true , Byers will throw his strength to Stone and Gear at the decisive moment , und quite likely be re warded by the chairmanship ol an important committee.

" rasTO TO IT i TRIAL Congressman Wilson of West Virginia , the framer of the much abused "Wilson Bill" is no doubt a commer cial genius. The measure is framed for the reduction of the tariff , also a reduction of the treasury ( ? ) surplus. The idea of herding up mountains of silver , when we can issue paper bonds and buy a clean supply of silver ever } * year is ridiculous. Give the masses the benefit of what you can easily spare and let the treasurj' take care of itself Precisely as the Nebraska deals with that popular Seml-Annual Odd and Ends Sale. We consider a most suicidal policy for us to herd up broken lots when we can obtain brand new and fresh stock. Thus we give the masses the benent , regardless of what our treasury suffers We are just in claiming the ace of trump , for comp'etesess of stock at every begin ning of a season. This Sale Agects Sack of Onr 8 Pept's. Be it suits or overcoats for father or son , furnishings , shoes , hats or caps , for man or boy. No matter how desirable the size no matter liow pretty or fine the goods got to have a complete line or considered an Odd and End Prices Resemble an Exploded Dynamite Bomb.
