Jtd tlie city council last nlKht that ho shouUl
apply to the mipromo court ( or n writ of
mandamus to compel tlio council to act on
bin bond fir $23,000 , which was presented
Hi connection with his electric llKht did some
time ago. On "motion of AVfieeler this was re
ferred to the Judiciary committee. Klsaaser
eald that he had asked Mr. I'tmkc why he
had not bid the last time , and In reply luiil
received a letter , which ho wanted lo read.
This Idea was vigorously combated by the
combine , and It was subsequently referred
to the committee on PIH and electric lights.
The letter , which the combine took BO much
trouble to bury , Is as follows :
OMAHA , Neb. , Sept. 1 , IS'Jl.-lIon. 1'eter

cjulry tis to whether I am now reudy to ar-
ci-pt a contract In accordance with the
ttimi of my hid nnd furnish electric MghtH
for the city of Omaha at 1112 u lamp , 1
will state that I am not only willing to
iiccept a contract at the IlKiire immiil , but
u tn flghtlnt ; for It , and will contliuie the
llBht until the contract Is award id me , or
until the court of last resort announces
that the city council cannot DO compelled
to approve my bond nnd award the cin-
trnct after havingrcfjiluly no3iitol my
bid.
bid.I have conlldencc In the Justic'1 ( > ud legal
ity nf my claim , and wMI a-k 'he c.ipicme
court In the curly part of October to com
pel the city council to Hive me the con
tract.
My bond has been held to be cultlclent by
the district court nnd my mirety Is ad
mittedly worth far moru than , 'double the
amount of my bond.
You ask why 1 did not bid In response
to the last advertisement. I reply that my
host and only bid wan at that time before
the city council and accepted by It as the
lowest bid BlihmlUrd , It m also } 1S a ll-ht |
lower than nny bid now before the coun-
rll. nnd even omitting the question of my
vested rlfihts , I cannot understand why the
council should persist In the attempt to
Blvc the contract to the New Omaha Thorn-
Hon-llouston Klcctrlc l.lylit company at a
much higher llRiiro.
A communication from the Hoard of Plre
and Police Commissioners presenting the re
quest of Chief Seavi-y for an appropriation
for the purpose of securing evidence against
gamblers was referred to the committee on
police.
QUAIIHIL ! OVKU COAL.
A protest from C. H. Havens & Co. against '
the action of the council at the previous'
meeting In awarding the contract for Eton in
coal to D. T. Mount at a price 10 cents
higher than the bid submitted by the peti
tioner precipitated a lively discussion. The
bid of Mr. Mount referred to Ih-a Wear coal ,
while that of Havens & Co. was on the
Cherokee brand. The bid was awarded to
Mr. Mount on the ground that hi ? coal was
enough better to more than make
amend ! ) for the difference tn price , llowoll ex
plained that- the two kinds of coal came
from the same anlne and the previous ac-
fjon was reconsidered and both bids and the
protest were referred for Investigation.
A resolution by Back to appropriate $1,000
to repair the Tenth street viaduct was re
ferred to the committee on viaducts and rail
ways , with the city engineer nnd city at
torney , to report next Tuesday night.
As chairman ot the judicial committee ,
llanc.ill reported favorably on his ordinance
providing for the submission of a proposi
tt" tion to vote $100,000 In bonds to construct
subways under the principal streets. The
report was adopted ,
CHARTER AMENDMENT COMMITTEE.
By resolution of Howell the city clerk was
Instructed to notify all members of the char
ter amendment committee that a meeting of
the committee would be held In the council
chamber Wednesday evening. September 12 ,
This Is the Joint committee which was ap
pointed some time ago to consider the ques
tion of consolidating the governments of
Omaha , South Omaha and Douglas county.
Mayor Uemls transmitted Ills veto of a
resolution ordering the extension ol the cul
vert across Lcavenworth street nt Forty-
eighth street "as far ns $3,000vlll , 'dmlt ,
that amount having been set aside for Mid
worit. " Ills reason * tru tlmt the cost was
Indefinite , that the city should not build an
expensive sewer across private property , that
steps had not been taken to condemn land
for a street along the line of the iiewer , and
that the money proposed for the newer could
be much more profitably pxpnn 3ed else
where.
In this cormectlon City Engineer Hoje
water stated that all the work contemplated
by the original resolution had been already
accomplished , and that any further extension
of the culvert would only benefit one or two
private property owners , The veto was
sustained.
The communication from ! hu Board of
Public Works relative to the necessity of
replanklng the Sixteenth street viaduct was
referred to the committee on viaducts and
railroads. On Its recommendation , the
board was directed to have the viaduct re-
planked under the direction of the city engi
neer.

( Suing On In Hie Cltjr ,
The members of the Hoard of Fire nnd
I'ollce Commissioners held n meeting at noon
yesterday and the question of pool selllliK on
the liorse rncca at the ( air grounds came up
for discussion.
Some days ago the chief ot police In
structed his men to utop any attempt that
might be made to sell pools on the races.
Monday when the races were to be pulled
off , tlie-pbol Beliefs started In to allow par
ties on the favorites , but they were ciulckly
stopped by the police , who claimed they were
ictliin In accordance \\lth the terms ot the
Instructions Issued by the chief. ,
Yesterday James Walsh of the
Douglas County Kalr association and
D. T. Mount of the Nt'braskn
Jrcciletu' association appeared before
.he board and protested against the
carrying out of the Seavcy order , claiming
that It would have the effect of destroying
the Interest manifested In the fair and races ,
[ f It was stopped , the present rnces-would
be the Ian ones held In Omaha , as owners
and breeders of fast horses would seek
Botno other location In the future. Aside
from that fact , both Air. Walsh and Mr ,
Mount said that the fair was Just getting
upon Its leet , and tills iiotemenl was In
tended to cripple It forever. The privileges
to bell pools had 'lieeu disposed of by the
association for $500 , which amount would
liave to be returned. If the order of the chief
was allowed to continue In force.
KXI'JCUKSIUN FHOM MEMBERS.
Commissioner Coburn Insisted that there
was iiotlilnx In the statutes of the state
to prevent the celling of pools at races , es
pecially where the gelling took place on the
grounds where the races were being run.
A bill looking to this end , he said , was In
troduced at the last session of the legisla
ture , but It was killed before over becoming
a law.
Commissioner Hartman took the ground
; hat the pool telling was one of the Incen
tives that brought horsemen to the races ,
and without It the fair could not be a tyc-
cess. He also was aware of the fact that
one year ago pools were sold on Iho grounds ,
and at that time the chlrf of pollrc Issued
10 orders to the contrary. There had be n
no session of the legislature within the past
year , and there had bveti no amendment
to the law , conKequ.ntiy he was at a loss
to know upon Just what authority ths chief
, vas acting , as the board had never Issued any
nstructlons with reference to the supprssslon
of sedlng pools.
Commissioner Strlckler declared that the
xiard was powerless to take any action In
: he premises. If the board would suspend
the chief's order , he thought that every man
would be subjected to charges of lmpach-
mcnt. Thsre had been a resolution adopted
suppressing gambling , and pool selling , he
thought , came under the head ot gambling
On the subject of gambling he said that he
was clear , and In support of the position
quoted the , action taken by the man who
presides on the bench of the criminal section
of the district court.
"
hi.jiT I'l ' WITH SEAVRY.
The members decided that they could do
nothlno ; . after Vlilclt Mr. Walsh said that he
knew whsre he could go to secure relief ,
tie would not ask that the order of Ohli > f
Seavey be set aside , as he did not want the
members of the board to take any chances
on being Impeached.
Chief Seavoy wrote to the board that 'at
this time there was more gambling In the
city than at any time during the past two
years , and that none of the games wers
being conducted openly. He said that all
kinds of games of chance were being played.
It nn attempt was made to pull the houses ,
the operators were tipped off , so that when
the police arrived there was nothing to be
taken. Whenever a raid was made , the offi
cers would find nothing but a few harmless
fixtures ami some men sitting around playing
Innocent games.
Sergeant Whalen wrote from Salt Lake
that he was still on the sick list , but that
he was getting better. Hlb k-avu of absence
was extended two weeks.
The trial of Officer Gustavcson , charged
wIMi co"K ! to sleep whllt On duty , . \ab con
tinued until the next meeting.
The Jailor reported 2,122 meals furnished
at the city Jail during the month of August ,

lliillfj' Circus.
The Barnum & Bailey shows have made a
return in mnny respects this season to old
fashioned circus acts , but with such ampli
fication and Improvements as are needed
to fit them to the use of the greatest show
on earth. Thus there Is tumbling and leapIng -
Ing by a big aggregation ot circus talent ,
and there are also talking and Ringing
clowns , this feature being represented by
"Dllly" Burke and "Pete" Conklln , two old-
'tlmo favorites. Things are kept merry for
the children by seventeen other pantomimic
and acrobatic clowns , This- season there
are also n number of sensational novelties
In the show. TUB Ethnological congress , or
Midway Platsanca , In which a greater num
ber of different races and tribes are cx-
lilbltcd than were seen In Chicago last
summer , Is one of those , The animal cir
cus. In which' many different kinds ot anl-
mala are made to perform In a barred
arena , even lions and lambs taking part to
gether , is another sensational feature.
Clilko and Johanna , the only two giant gor
illas ever exhibited together , attract deep
Irte-rest from both the scientific and curious.
The three Eugenes do one ot the most dar
ing aerial acts ever seen , this being their
first tour In this country and their first sea
son under a circus canvas. Thcro are sixteen -
, teen bareback riders , among them grace
ful , pretty and daring Rose Meers , and the

Opening nf School.
The opening ot th city schools yester
day was attended by no noteworthy Incidents ,
The office of Superintendent Fltzpatrlck was
crowded with teachers who bad not yet been
assigned and their disposal occupied the
forenoon , All the schools In the city were
running In the regular order at 9:30 : o'clock
and the work lias , been ea well systematized
that the ex rclaes were scarcely different
from any other day.
U was thought by some members that U
was not good policy to open the schools this
week , as Monday was a holiday and the
fair would have a material effect on the at
tendance during the flrit two or three days.
The reports from the principals as far us
they were received yesterday showed
about the expected attendance , but It U
not expected tlmt the full enrollment will
be reached for a coupln of days.

Mnile fen tlio ( Into Day.
Last night WIB Military night at the "Last
Days ot Pompeii , " and per consequence Iho
sons ol Mirs wcro- represented throughout
the Riidlenco In largo numbers. The de
partmental commandtr , General Brooke , was
the hero whose picture was depicted In lines
of fire , while the Thurston Rifles and the
Omnhn Guards gave exhibition drills on the
sUgo acrcjs ( ho lagoon , where the BCCIICS
leading up lo the destruction of Vesuvius
are enacted.
In cantlderatlon of the military several of
the managers of the enterprise , which lias
moro than fulfilled the expectations of Us
promoters , arranged to appcsr In the scenes
of Pompelians life clad In the relies of
H-man senators. Among those who threw
cff the nineteenth century dress to don the
flowing garments of the- followers ot the
Catsars were John IJougherty , J. J. Phllbln ,
Manager Hnymoml and a Bee reporter.
They managed to look ns Romanesque an
poss blc with the additional help of the stage
carpenter , win braced up their ebbing spirits ,
the property man and the costumcr , ntul
nevr wera f.tir Roman senators so fearfully
and wonderfully made up.
Have you ever been behind the scenes
during a great spectacle like the "Last Days
of Pompeii ? " If you want to experience a
sensation which you will remember as- long
os you live go out to Pompeii before Its
close and asl < the captain ot the supers to
give you a chance to appear ns one of the
populace or a follower In the train of Olati-
civs. You have probably seen the show
from "i front , " but "from behind" there
Is as great a difference as between day and
night. You may have thought you knew
something about contrasts perhaps you have
experienced a few in the- ups and downp of
a checkered career , but y < ni never Imagined
so great a transformation or so sharp a
contrast is will be revealed to your aston
ished gazeby the first glimpse of the nether
side of a show like the "Last Days of
Pompeii. "
From out the semi-darkness , for there Is
not much light In the rear of the oil cloth
Vesuvius , stre'ched upon gigantic frames ,
there come strange Bounds , anything but like
one would expect to hear coming from a
Homan crowd. Lines upon lines of box-like
compartments meet your gaze , not unlike
the bathing booths along the Atlantic coast.
And then all of a sudden you will see pairs
of legs- clad in Roman hose below the doors
ot these compartments , while helmeted heads
will rise above the door , distorted , confused
by the lights from within.
Then there Is a rush for the open , the
quadrangle , so to speak , of this enclosure , the
girls are made up , the men In all the panoply
ot the days of Pliny , of Marc Anthony , of
Drutus and of tha Caesars , An endless
and continual chatter ensues and the "new
super , " as The Bee. . man was , nnd his asso
ciates soon found themselves In the midst
of as unconventional a lot of girls as yoii
would wish to find anywhere. They were
up to nil sorts of tr.cks ; they stood around
in fleshings , discussed the appearance of
the visitors nnd dress with the utmost frank
ness , wondered where the "dude" came from ,
meaning John Phllbln , Inquired ot John
Dougherty if he was anybody's "Jchnny. "
and wanted to know of The Bee man if his
mamma knew he was out , and only the
presence of Stage- Manager Craven prevented
the Uomnn mob from mobbing the Interlopers.
But they didn't mean any harm. The new
comers Into the eacred precincts afforded
temporary entertainment for the ballet , a re
lief from "dls everlasting Pompcy business ,
which makes me tired , " as one fair Amazon
remarked.
Should you ever go behind the scenes
where a big spectacle- on ( he boards , with
two hundred and odd people to be disciplined ,
you will have a greater respect for theatri
cal managers , a sympathy tor. their trials
and tribulations end a better knowledge of
what Horace Greeley used to call the "cus-
sednccs" of those dainty and delicate fairies
In t ghts , who have so often captured your
affections , than you ever had bsfore.
But ( he funniest part of this visit behind
Pompellan scenes was In the antics cf John
Dougherty when he discovered some one
had "swiped" hU coat and hat and 'ic was
compelled to go home In ( he garb of a
cltl7.cn of the Itoman monarchy , A. D. 79.
Thursday night ( he "Elks" w II play their
part In the series of commemorative occa
sions , anil the fire works will be emblematic
of the order.
