Hillokc , an old lady who is weak minded
and the owner of a largo amount of city
property , including the Hotel Richelieu on
North Thirteenth street. The husband of
this woman died some years a < jo and nt the
time of his death ho was considcrea one of
the wealthy men of the city. All of the
property went to Mrs. Illllcke. The death
of her husband wcighca upon her mind to
such an extent that several times her friends
considered the advisability of sending her
to a private asylum , but this schcmo has
been abandoned and a guardian has been
appointed to look after her property and
prevent it from passing into the hands of
evil-dlsposod persons.
Lorenzo Crounso has been named as the
administrator of the estate of William E.
Grifllths. deceased , and the bond fixed in tlio
sum of # T ,000. Most of the property of the
estate consists of Omaha real estate.
In the probate court James Fox has been
appointed administrator of. the estate of
Margaiet Fox , deceased. The deceased was
the wlfo of James Fox and was the woman
who was burnca to death in the South Four
teenth street ilro some weeks ago.
Citations have been issued "to all of the
administrators , having charge of the estates
in the probate court , instructing them to
prepare their settlements at the earliest
possible dtitos. People interested in these
estates are anxious for their money and
Jiavo urged County Judge Baxter to make
this order.
In the estate of Edward McKenna , the
man who was murdered by Barney McGinn ,
the appraisers have made their return , fix
ing $4,125 as the value of the property.
J. C. Kelby has been appointed admlnls-
tratorof the estate of Mary Ramacciotti , de
ceased , with Charles V. Miles nnd John Q.
Adams , appraisers. Thirty thousand dollars
lars is the scheduled value of iho estate.
I'lill SUmmcrs Iluslncss Trouble.
Notwithstanding the faot that the whole
sale twine nnd soca firm of Phil Stimmol &
Co. went to the wall some time ago , and
that all of the assets have been gobbled up
by the creditors who got iu on the ground
floor , suits continue to bo instituted by men
who were loft. Yesterday the Pcoria
Cordage company sued for $1,871 ,
tvlth Kingman & Co. coming in
later with a suit for $1,000. Both
of the plaintiffs have sued out attach
ments and the sheriff will try to tind some
thing on which to levy. The Stimmcl prop
erty , or at least all that was situatect
In this city was sold at public auction by
Sheriff Drexel Tuesday nt the Jones street
warehouse. There \voro several bidders
who run the offerings up to $11) ) , 073. At this

the Leo-Chirk-Aiidreoson matter. In the
meantime the temporary restraining order

Just u Visitor.
The door of the city jnil softly
opened Tuesday night , and without
a sound theio s stole into the
presence of the officers an aged darky.
With a careful glance around the room ho
tool ; in everything 'that was to bo seen.
Then with a slight cpnuflectlou of the knee
and an obsequious bow , he stopped forward
and asked in real , old southern plantation
tones , uls the mashaul in ? " nnd ho again
looiccd searchingy ! about the dark corners of
the city Jail. Thinking that his business
was with the marshal , and that probably no
ono else would bo of service to him , ho was
carefully informed that theie was not now
such an ofllcer In the city , but that that was
the city jail , and th.it hero ho might obtain
what ho wanted. Ho looked at the captain
and then at thu jailors and then around the
room tipnln. He took oft his hat and saiu in
a very pathetic voice.
' 1 Jus' come to town nnd am goln" away
again in the mornln * . I don' know any ono

It best to coino an'isi ; ; you If I coma stay

the mornln , ' early an' won1 bother you tiny
more. "
To Ofllcer Koysor ho gave his name us Will-
lam Smith and said ho was going to Leaven-
worth , ICun. Ho Is a very bright old colored
man , has been through slavery and Is alto
gether a very nice person. He scorned to
think that the jail was n rather funny
pluce and ncarlycdod when ho was taken to
n cell nnd locked up. but when he was made
to understand that ho xvas not going there
for any crlmo ho felt bolter and peacefully
went to sleep.

City Authorities Itnd to Act us Dis
cretion Dictated No Ambu
lance or llonpltal.
A case of measles Is nt Rescue hall. The
sufferer Is a man of middle agi > and ho has
only recently been n resident of Omaha.
The case was reported yostordiiy morn
ing to the city authorities , and Dr.
Somcrs went down to Investigate the
matter. Tlio case was not within his
jurisdiction nnd ho referred Itto
the county authorities. They directed that
the man bo sent to the county hospital nnd
Superintendent Strykor was telephoned to
that effect. Ho was not long in telling the
Rescue lull people that the case could not bo
taken there.
What was to bo done was a serious ques
tion. The matr-was suffcrins with n con-
taglousjiilscasc , and a , doctor present said
ho was more likely to dfo before
the day was over than not , and there
was no place to take him where ho could
receive care and norlshmcnt. Rev. A. W.
Clark did not know what to do. To let the
man remain nt the hall would endanger the
health of iho other occupants of the place ,
and It was settled ho could not remain there.
Hut Tlu-y Wcro 1'uz/lrd.
The mayor was notified and Drs. Somcrs
nnd Seville went to the hall. They were
told of the stand taken by the county
authorities. Drs. Somcrs and Seville ,
though they thought It to bo a county case ,
finally authorised Mr. Claric to secure a
place in some private family where the mem
bers were grown and take the man there.
They allowed the expenditure of § 10 per
week for his caso. Mr. ClarK found a famili
al Twenty-sixth street and Capitol nvcnno
that would bo willing to take the Case and it
was at once decided to take him there ,
but how ? The pollco were asked to convey
him in the patrol wncon , but this was
thought too dangerous , as the disease inlghl
be communicated in this way. The chief of
police was notified and he was told the facts
In the matter. Ho told Mr. Clark to pro-
euro a hack , remove the man to the house
and charge the expense to him.
It was commented on that the : lty haj no
conveyance of that kind for iho ictuuvalof
patients suffering from contagious diseases
from ono place to another , nor u place to
take them.

OMAHA , Jan. 31. To the Editor of Tnc
BEE : An article in Saturday evening's BEE ,
headed "Ton Thousand Spinsters , " by Mr.
Walter Besant , prompts mo to raise my
voice publicly. Although the wholesale dis
charge of men referred to in the article , for
the purpose of engaging women in their
places , occurred in England , the example is
applicable to us also , as wo are not behind
the mother country on this subject.
Are our people , brigf.t and intelligent , not
aware of the immeasurable dqtriment which
the substitution of women labor for men im
plies ? Cun any ono afford to ignore the
cravity of this question ar.d refuse to ad
mit the slow but sure doom which , our com
munity is going to meet ? Are not our work-
giving mechanics land help-employing ofllce
holders alive to the situation ? * "
The reply from the former will be : "Wo
cannot afford to hire men exclusively , as
general debility of business , close co'mpoti-
tion on all sides and small margins do not
warrant the higher wages which a man
stenographer , cashier or ( last but not
lest ) , solicitor commands. "
This is a very plausible answer , but
it is an indirect consequence. Let us
see In what way the highest wages ho haste
to pay men nro counterbalanced. It
requires three \vomen clerks to do two
men's work ( you may not want to
admit this , but it is so ) , These
two men are thrown out of employment and
have to look for other work at smaller sal
aries , the three women are likewise earning
less individually , and all live have to bar
gain 'round for the necessaries that sustain
llfo , thus putting a check on "trade. "
But what are our women going to do for
a livelihood * What is to become of these
8,500 foraalo clerks who are battling with an
existence in ofllccs in this town alone ? Of
course no one would demand a general dis
charge of such a force on the spct , but if in
cases of vacancies employers would resort to
thoold-timo method of hiring men , our women
and girls would soon stare out to explore the
arid Holds of feminine vocations which nro
better paying , more healthful and above all
more manly.
Now , if there bo no valid excuse for a
dealer or merchant who is dependent on
profits , what can our worthy municipal of-
iicers say who drive men out of our public
buildings , the court house , elty hall , and
postotllco by inviting an unfair competition
instead of discouraging it. It is an in
fringement of men's rights , who hold a
natural and legal claim to masculine .posi
tions.
The Commercial club , in its efforts to pro
mote business and trade in general , could do
very offecl I vo work in this way , by holding
the matter up before its members nnd In
ducing them to talto up A reformatory prac
tice In their sphnro.
So use your Influence on these about you
nna don't simply express your approval , but
if you will remain uoaf to a timely word of
warning , pleas.i don't express your astonish
ment If n well-dressed and qualified man
knocks at your back door nnd asks the
privilege to do chores for a "handout. "

She Clumped HIT Mind.
This , tlmo it was an Iowa man who made
the discovery that marriage was a failure ,
and in this particular Instance the discovery
was made before ho had poked his head
through the matiimonlal nooso.
On January 17 , of the present year , Harry
E. Chupln of Dos Maine ? , la. cama over to

these of Miss A. Myrtle McCauley ,
The money was paid over and Harry
E. Chapln went hence a happy younc man ,
dreaming of any quantity of bliss. Yester
day , however , it was apparent that n change
had come across the dreams of the young
man from Iowa , for during the afternoon ho
again visited the ( iflleo of tl.e county judge
nnd , throwing the marriage license upon the

Xo Need Xow to Ask for Cuiullo 1'oircr
of Lights.
By the terms of a resolution introduced
by Mr. Wheeler Tuesday night and adopted
by the council the city comptroller was
directed to advertise for bUs for furnishing
arc lights for Street lighting for the term of
three years , said.lights to DO the standard
commercial lamp , nupplioJ with a current often
ton amperes and forty-live volts , or130
watts.
This Is the quality of light the city has
been getting , or rather the quality of elec
tric lighting the company claims it has been
furnishing under a contract calling for
lights of 2,003-candlo power. It will bo
remembered that for the past year nnd a
hnlf the mayor hcs been vetoing the bills of
the Thomson-Houston cotnnuny on the
ground that the company was not complying
with'its contract and was not furnishing
lights of raoro than 1,200-candto power.
These vetoes have Deon regularly over
ridden by the council.
The Thomson-Houston company is supoly-
ing lights under two contracts , ono of which
expires la May and the other in November.
The ono expiring in November provides for
lights for $175 per annum and the other con
tract provides for lights at $140 per annum.
Both contracts require the lights to bo of
2,000-candlc power. By the terms of tlio
Wheeler resolution "above referred to no
mention is to uo made of candle power.
A business man , who is familiar with
affairs about the city hall , stated yesterday
that the now deal was undoubtedly the
result of overtures in ido by representatives
of the Thomson-Houston company , in which
It was proposed to walvo all rights under its
contract expiring in November , when its
second contract expires in May , providing
that the city should roadvortlso for bids for
a now contract in which the standard
should ba electrical measurements instead
of candle power. According lo this same
authority the Thomson-Houston company is
to submit a bid for lighting at a lower figure
than $140 per lamp per annum.
In this connection a statement recently
made by City Kleetrlqitin Cowglll may bo of
Interest. In complying with a resolution of
the city council Mr. Cowglll has been wak
ing periodical trips to the electric lighting
station for the purpose of making tests of
the ninperago and voltage of the various
lighting lines. The electrician is supplied
with Instruments of the latest design , re
cently purchased from the most reliable
linns hi the country , and has a stanum-d in
strument in the ofllco , with which the porta
ble Instruments tire carefully compared. lie
is , therefore , equipped with the facilities for
making accurate tests , and measurements
taken by him at tlio electric lighting station
Indicate that the company Is not supplying
an average of 450 volts per lamp. Repeated
measurements , covering a period of sover.il
months , show that the amperage Is as lawns
six on several of the nine circuits , and the
superintendent of the lighting company , Mr.
Chubbuck has refused to allow the
electrician to test the voltage of , ho
circuits , claiming that Mr. Cow Hl'd Instru
ments were out of order , but , nccordltig to
Mr. Cowglll , the testing Instruments of the
lighting company have been conveniently In
some other place every time ho visited the
lighting station , ao tuat n comparison of the
two sots of instruments was impossible.
It was the tulkabout the corridors of the
city hall yesterday that the rejection of
Cowgill us electrician was due to the oppo
sition of the gentlemanly manager of the
Thomson-Houston company , nnd the argu
ment of one gentleman , that the company
could have un objections to Con-Rill's meas
urements of nra lights under the proposed
scheme for measurement , was mot by an
other gentleman' ' by the charge that the
company Is not now supplying 450 volts per
lomp and probably would not do so under
another contract.

IIIR Creeps Out ,
Instead of being possessed with a fooling
of brotherly love two of the county commis
sioners wcro bitter enemies during the hold
ing of yesterday's session. The trouble nil
arose over the mere question of hiring ti
S15-per-motith boy.
Some tlmo ago when the commissioners
were In committee ot the whole figuring on
the number of employes nnd the monthly
salaries to bo paid , some of the members
favored the scheme of hiring a p.igo to at
tend to the meetings of the board , whoso
additional duties should consist In waiting
upon and nttcntllnir to the wants of the ofll-
cials , putting in | tls spare moments wrestling
with books which had to bo carried to and
from the vault In the cleru's ' ofllco. When
the committee mndo Us report there was
nothing lo Indicate that there wcro any pro
visions made for the employment of a single
boy. At that time Mr. Paddock charged
that there had been seine underhanded
work ; that It had been agreed that the s
vices of the boy wcro required , nod that
without consulting him iho other members
of the committee had fixed things to suit
themselves.
Llko ono man the four colleagues of the
gentleman from the Little Papplo denied the
imputation und Intimated that the major
was talking through his tile.
Yesterday there was a resolution Intro
duced providing for the hiring of the hid and
llxlni ; his salary at $15 per mouth. As coon
as the paper was read Mr. Paddock Jumped
Into the arena lo lohcarso Iho talc of woo
about having been whiusawcd by the oilier
members of iho committee.
Chairman S ten berg listened to thp speech
and then intimated that in committee it was
discussed and by a majority vote dccldcti not
to hire a boy to run errands and tote books
for clerics and employes. Ho thought that
the matter was discussed at different tunes
and then voted-down with the
- , ending con
clusion that if Mr. Paddock did not know
what ho was talking about he should keep
his mouth shut.
This was more than the Litllo Pappio
member could stand and baring his breast
for the tray , he talked of limes when ho had
been bamboo/lcd and squelched by ihe other
members. The time had come for action
and ho did not propose to submit to such
action any longer.
All of the members wantbd to talk and
then the chairman pounded a hole in Iho lop
of his desk in a Vain effort to restore order.
Order , however , was not in a mood to be re
stored , and the licry debate continued to the
gratification of the lobby.
Matters were becoming serious and Mr.
Jenkins tried to pour oil upon the troubled
waters by raising a point of order , insisting
that Iho deuato was not gcrmain to Die
qucslion. " The chair ruled that the point of
order was well tauen and in the turmoil
that followed the resolution was adopted.
The vote by which tlio bill of the Mer
chants hotel , of S-I1D , for meals furnished to
Jurors was rejected was taken up and recon
sidered. The bill was then referred Dack lo
Iho committee from whence it originally
came.
The bills of the snecial police who served
In South Omaha on the day of the lust gen
eral election were stricken from the month
ly pay sheet , Mr. ' Paddock stating that ho
was informed that there was fraud con
nected with the presentation of the same.
Ho said thatthe : party presenting tlio bill
had never been requested to represent the
ofllccrs who performed th e work.
The popularity of Salvallon Oil Is not as
tonishing when we hear of its many cures.
THREE ON ONE.
Principals In a Council Case Have a Ono
Hound Frco-for-All.
There was n very lively ono round light In
front of the New York Llfo building yes
terday foroDOon. The participants included
Councilman Chris Specht , Attorney E. W.
Simeral , A. Matson and Herman Gucrskie.
According to the account of the affair
given by the principals Simeral was stand
ing in front of the Life building when
Specht passed. As Specht crossed Simeral's
path ho called the attorney a blackmailer ,
referring to the communication sent to the
council by SImcral Tuesday evening. In
reply Mr. Simeral told Specht what ho
thought of him.
Specht evidently didn't llko such talk and
said : "If I was not sick I would break your
facoin. " Ho then made a swipe al the
lawyer and they clinched. At this polnl
Matson and Ou-jrsUio rushed up and took a
hand. Matson grabbed Simeral's bands and
hold them behind his ba. ; * In ordur to pre
vent him from striking Specht. This was a
good thing for Specht and tl.o little council
man took advantage of this turn in nftairs to
kick Simeral in the face while ho was half
down. The result was that all four mon got
mixed up on the sidewalk and such a tangle
of legs , arms , hands and oaths ono seldom
sees.
sees.Whon the fight was thickest Assist
ant County Attorney Troup came
out of the Llfo building nnd
took in the situation at a glanco. The throe
men wore on top of Simoral , and the tall
lawyer was gottliiK Iho worst ot it. Troup
pulled Matson and Guorsklo away , nnd this
allowed Simeral to got to his feet. Then
along came Police Sergeant Slgwart and ar
rests the quartet. Ho marched the men to
the Jail , where a complaint of disturbing the
peace was Hied against each one of f ho
lighters , and nil pleaded not guilty. Judge
