A better feeling has been manifest on the part of the manufacturers , as the considerably Increased Inquiry shows. There Is more wool selling , anil while there Is no quotable change In rates there la less disposition to shade prices to effect sales. The market appears to be llrmer than a week ngo. Tills , we think , may be safely accepted In re gard to most kinds of domestic wool. Some users of stock , who a fortnight ago evinced no eagerness to accept offers of wool at the ruling rates , have this week quietly closet ! bargains for the same or equivalent lots.

PLANS TO BE FORMULATED TODAY City Council und IliulncM Mrn Hotcrmlntil to Dltcoror thn Ciiu oof Imulcqunto Water I'n-fKUro nt Fires Yiis- tcircliij'/i A special meeting of the Board of Fire and Police commissioners was held In the city hall yesterday afternoon ( o cons'Jer lie matter of Inadequate water pressure and .ho complaints of business men and others that their property was not sufficiently pro- ccted. The discussion was prolonged until after G o'clock , but no conclusions were reached , nnd , beyond a general exchange of views , nothing was accomplished by the meeting. Those present , besides the full board , were : Ity Attorney Connell , City Engineer Rosewater - water , Councllmen Burkloy , Cahn , Wheeler , Jacobson , Specht , Bruner and Hascall , and 3eorgo E. Tlbbs , Adolph Meyer , John S. Urady , C. S. Montgomery , Euclid Martin and Major Wllcox , representing the business men's committee. Mayor Bemls stated that the object of the meeting was to find out where the blame lay for the alleged Inadequacy of fire pro tection and all wor& Invited to express their views. Mr. Burkley presented the. petition of Job bers and business men which was received by the council on the preceding evening , and this \vas read In full. Councilman Hascall repeated his speech made before the council and said that the l'"lro and Police Board was responsible fop the Inefficiency of the flro department. lie claimed that the board had been treated very generously by the council In that It had l ) ° on allowed { 10,000 In addition to Its regu lar appropriation. It wns not expected that the water company was to keep up the prcs- fiuro specified In Its contract at all times. It had shown that It could develop this pres sure when It wanted to and this was all that could be expected. Commissioner Strlckler called the speaker's attention to the fact that the manager of the Water Works company had testified before - fore the board of adjusters after the Farnam Street theater fire that the pressure In the mains was constant , and was the same at all times. This did not phase the First ward statesman , however , who contended that when the manager said that he did not know what he wns talking about , Hascall went on to attack the board on the ground that the engines wore out ot or der at the Morse-Coe fire and' Commissioner Smith explained that Uie engines broke down whllo In service on account of a defect In the manufacture and not through any negli gence on tha part of the department. The same engine had been' taken to1 South Omaha after the fault was reclined and worked for thirty-six hours without a break. City Engineer Rosavjater . .was called on to explain whether the present water works sys tem could be made to furnish the pressure required by the pontract.He stated that the reservoir at 'Florence was 308 feet above the river , or over 200 feet above the principal business districts of the city. The amount of pressure to be obtained , depended on the size and length ot the pipes and -the frlc- tlonal resistance afforded. When the system was put ' - Omaha was a city of 30,000 people ple and It was not expected ! that over 5,000- 000 gallons would bo pumped daily. The average dally consumption was then scarcely over 500,000 gallons. It.Was never contem plated that the pumps should give direct pressure. The clty'had now reache'd a point where the aggregate consumption was as high as 24,000,000 gallons In -slnglo > day. FLOW MUST ' DK CONCENTRATED. iln eonclusl'onj Mr. * Roscwator stated that'a sufficient pressure cSifld Jbo ( jO'Ealh'tJd , ' } MIn order ty'd6 thts'l.thero.would. jiavjo-to.bo proper distribution" the. . pressure through the mains. I Within tho1past four years the 6lty had beert divided Into three systems , so that the higher districts or the- city were supplied by a direct pressure , while the lower part was supplied , by a , gravity pressure. When the system wns Inaugu rated the size of the pipes to bo'-lald ( n Various ' ous parts of the city was' specified In the contract , but since the company had gone beyond that and extended IJs system , j { ought to bo compelled to enlarge Ha mains In the central districts to correspond with the In creased consumption. ' The Interior service of the company should be sufficiently enlarged to overcome the Increased frlctlonal resist- a'nce resultingfrtni th'e extension' of the sys tem over a largely Increased area. He be lieved that a very material improvement could be effected 'by connecting some J > f the mains and Improving the system of distribu tion. Under the present system of distribu tion It would bfe Impossible to 'create a suffi cient direct pressure through the smaller down-town mains without bursting the larger mains nearer the Initial point. Mr. Rosewater 'claimed that the. depart ment made a mistake Jn putting In too many lines of hose so that the pressure was ap divided that none of , the streams wore effective. It had bcn settled that the pres sure was not capable-of supplying more than a certain number of streams , and if lower streams wcro used and the size of the noz zle Increased much , better results would bo obtained. ' Mr. Connell said that the contract which was prepared when the city contained not more than 30,000 people 'did not anticipate what would be necessary when It had as sumed metropolitan proportions. M\ \ that was necessary was that .eight streams should bo thrown to a height of 110 feet at a cer tain point , and It this -could be done then the city would not have any standing In court so far as compelling the Water Works company to make , any changes In the sys tem wns concerned. He believed that' If nn additional pressure could bo created by a redistribution ot the mains the matter should be worked up in an amicable * malmer between the city and the Water Works „ company. It this was not possible , then there was no other way than to. fall back to the proposition to purchase additional engines. After some additional discussion Mr. Burk ley announced that the special council com mittee , together with the business men's committee , would meet In committee room A In the rlty hall .at , 4. o'clock this afternoon to map out a plan of Investigation. At a future date they would request the board attend. to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ CI1AHT10U ItUVINION COM.nlTTICK. City Xnglnner to I Clmlrmua of the Hoard ot 1'ubllo Work * . The charter t-evlsion committee held a pro tracted session last evening and made some little progress. George E.

That the office of gas Inspector and c'ty electrician bo consolidated. 4. That the sanitary department of the Board of Health be placed In charge of the police department. The third proposition evoked vigorous pro tests from both the city electrician and the gas Inspector , both of whom were present to personally explain that no good would accrue to the city by the consolidation. Mr. Tukey expla.neJi that the only object ot consolidation was to lessen the number of clerks and employei , but he admitted that there was no necessity for unltlng , theie two oRlcea. and on motion of Mr. Dumont the third recommendation was stricken out. City Engineer Hosewater made a vigorous protest against the proposition to make the city engineer the- third member ot the Board ot Public Works. He Bald It there was an Intention of reorganising that board It should be reorganized from the very bottom.

Dennis Murphy , the saloon man on Twenty- fourth street , Is about the most angry man In South Omaha. JIurphy owns two of the best fighting bulldogs in Nebraska. He has backed ono of them In nbout twenty battles and lias his first losing to book. A short tlmo ago he made a match with a man In Fort Omaha for a purse of flOO a side. The stake money was ? 50 each , Murphy's dog was In the prime of condition and his friends were willing to go broke or win a big pot of money on the fight. Tuesday night some person broke the lock on the rear door of the basement and en tered through the lower floor where the fighting dog is kept. From the basement an entrance to the ealoon was easily effected by breaking a common lock. In the saloon Mr. Murphy keeps another bulldog which can fight as good as the next ono. This dog was taken to the basement and turned loose with the prize winner. When Murphy arrived at the saloon the next morning the dogs were still fighting. The men must have entered about 2 o'clock In the morning nnd set the dogs to fighting. The dog that was to be matched with the Fort Omaha dog Is so badly disfigured that It will bo Im possible to match him for several weeks and as a result the owner will lose his forfeit money. That Is why Mr. Murphy looks so sad. Alufflo.Clty Nolc ? . John Storack Is under arrest "on the charge of assaulting C. J. Freeman jn a saloon on Railroad avenue. .
