8 THE OMAHA PATLY BEE ; 1KEP3STESDAY , DECEMBER 12 , 1894. CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Wheeler Flashes a Knife Designed for Oily Prosecutor Shoemaker's Scalp , DECLARES HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED Allege ) llo In Allowing Criminal * to Uu 1'rco by tlioVliolcnulo and Neglected 111 * Duty In ut Lenit Two Ilun- tlrcit C'nivR Other llinlnrsn. Something of a sensation disrupted the monotony ot the regular meeting of the city council last night when Wheeler presented a communication urging the Impeachment of City Prosecutor Shoemaker ( or alleged neglect of duty In falling to prosecute criminals who had been charged with various offenses. Wheeler presented a lengthy document , In which he cited nearly 200 cases In which the records were cited to show that they had been dismissed through the failure ot the- prosecuting attorney to appear or on his motion to dismiss the case. In thirty-live of these cases the criminals had been found guilty In the- police court and had taken an appeal to the district court , where they had never been prosecuted. In summing up the * charges the communi cation stated that the city prosecutor rested under charges that had been so often re peated that they had become a matter of common notoriety. Such an official should possess a large measure of public confidence nml It was duo both to the prosecutor and to the city government that the truth or falsity of these charges should bo established. If they were true ho should b ? Impeached and deposed from offlcc , and In conclusion the petitioner asked the mayor to file the proper charges under the provisions of section 172 of the city charter. Elsa&ser bobbed up to Inquire If It would Jiot be n good plan to look up the record of ft former prosecutor named Cochran at the same time. Hawell said that If the charges were true Mr. Shoemaker ought to be Impeached , but If upon Investigation he should be proved as Innocent , as was another and a higher ofllclal on a recent occasion , ho should receive the name complete vindication that the other ofllclal had received. Calm hoped that this Investigation would not cost the county an much as the previous Investigation did , and the communication was referred to the mayor without furtller dis cussion. HUNCH OF VETOES ACTED ON. The mayor vetoed a resolution ordering the Hoard of Public Works to repair Fourteenth street with cinders , on the same grounds on which he has vetoed several previous resolu tions of the same kind. He claims that It Is not advisable * to repair wooden block with cinders , and If such repairs are to bo made he says gravel Is preferable. The veto was not sustained. The resolution directing the Hoard of Public Works to order the contractor to pro ceed with the repavlng of South Tenth street was also vetoed. The reasons were set forth in a communication from the chairman of the Hoard of Public Works , which stated that the contractor had withdrawn all his expert pavers and taken them to Denver. The board had also found that frozen sand was being used and the- work had been ordered stopped on this account. Nearly all the members had something to say qn the matter. In this case the veto was sustained. A resolution was adopted that the council would sit as a board of equalization on De cember 21 for the purpose of acting on n number of plans for assessment for street Improvements , with which It was presumed the now council would not be familiar. A number ot old bills of th > Uarber As phalt company .for work done In 1891 , 1892 and 1893.and amoifntlng to ? 1B1.47 , were re ferred to the judiciary committee. The request of the Hoard of Fire and Po- llco Commissioners for permission to pur chase 5,000 additional feet ot hose was re ferred to the chairman of the finance com mittee. mittee.MERCHANTS MERCHANTS VERSUS PEDDLERS. The petition of certain business firms re questing the chief of police to keep fruit peddlers away from the streets in front of their Rtorca was submitted to the council by the Hoard of Fire and Police. Commissioners. This was accompanied by a request from Chief Seav y" that the ordinance bo amended In accordance with the petition. Both docu ments were referred to the committee on police. In this connection Wheeler stated that the peddlers did not obstruct the street as much as the merchants themselves. Some of them even leased space-In front of their stores to peddlers and derived revenue from space that belonged to the public. If the ordinance was amended It should be framed so that the merchants could not keep their stock on the sidewalk , Cahn said that he knew that one of the firms that had signed the petition had rented a small space In front ot Its store for $4 a day , and now that It had no tenant It wanted to shut a few poor peddlers trom the streets. At this juncture a petition from the ped dlers asking that they be allowed the same privileges as heretofore was read and re ferred to the same committee. President How ell said that these people had paid for licenses to sell their goods , and within the past week the chief of police had been houndIng - Ing them off the streets and taking them down to the city Jail as though they had com mitted a crime. If such action was to be taken It should bo delayed until after the licenses had run out. A request from the city electrician that the council pass a resolution directing the electric light company to furnish him with a list ot arc llgths to be used in checking up Its bills , was referred to Wheeler to prepare the necessary resolution. The contract for supplying hay and feed for the city for six months was awarded to W , W. Mace. NOT TO CONSULT THE CHIEF. Cahn offered a , resolution requesting that the Hoard of FIre and Police Commissioners consult with the chief of the fire department and his assistants as to what steps should ba taken to reorganize the flro department. This was vigorously opposed by Wheeler , while Howell championed the resolution. He maintained that the chief of the flro depart ment had just as much right to have something - * thing to say In regard to how his depart ment should be run as the chief of police had to ndvlso measures In the police department. Saundcrs said that the council had no right to pass such a resolution , which was practically slopping the board In the face. Jacobsen also Inclined to the opinion that the council was getting beyond Its province , and the resolution was finally laid on the table by a par y vote , the democrats voting In the negative. Hascall sprung the resolution which he forecasted at the previous meeting tendering the use of the vacant rooms on the fifth Door ot the City Hail to the county for dis trict court purposes. Wheeler said that the city hud paid the county $300 a month for office room In the county building , and ho was opposed to any free gifts In this direction. The resolution was referred. The bond of Beecher Hlgby as city clerk , which has been In the hands of the judiciary committee for some time , was approved , The committee on judiciary reported on the request of W. N. Noion that the city council take some measures to aid In the re lief of the settlersIn the , drouth-stricken districts. It held that rtio city was not authorized to grant the request , but that If come provision should be made by the leg islature by which such action should be made legal a liberal donation ought to be made. Adopted. The council refused the request of the Hoard of Health that the expense of re moving dead animals during November and December be paid out of the general fund. On recommendation of the committee on police a resolution was adopted directing the chief ot police not to Interfere with street hucksters until some further action was taken by the council. The following ordinances were passed * Gen eral appropriation ordinance ; changing grade * ot' Mason street from Twenty-eighth to Twenty-ninth street ; ordering grading In dl - trtct No. 115 ; ordering grading ot Thirty- third stteet fror.1 Dodge to Davenport street ; ordering Itsue ot bonds tor various street Im provement districts ; levying special tax for sidewalk construction.

From Queer People , by Palmer Cox. In a garden sweet and fair. Once a bright and busy pair Held a brief conversation on a Illy. "Mr. Wasp , " remarked the Uee , Your manoeuvres puzzle me , You must either be a lazy rogue , or silly. " "In the school where you were taught , Was the fact before you brought , That cur tlmo Is equivalent to 'money ? Now for days and days we've met , 'Mid the pinks and mignonette , But you never seem to carry any honey. " Said the Wasp : "You make me smile , With your blunt , outspoken style , You have many things to learn , I must declare ; For a thousand sunny hours You've been pumping at the flowers , And you never dreamed of poison being there. "From the phlox and columbine , Bleeding heart and eglantine , Soon your treasury of honeycomb you fill ; While I , c-mlng In your wake , From the Belt-some blossoms take All the rankest sort ot poison by the "Let mo whisper In your car , I have found while roaming here Over garden , over orchard , over field , That the fairest growth of flowers , Which tul'rn these haunts of ours , The most deadly kind of poison often yields. " "Bless my sting ! " exclaimed the Be , "Every day we live to see Will some wonder carry with It , I suppose. Who would think a nauseous drug Could bo stored away so snug , In the heart ot such a blcssom as a rosa ? " And , with . /that It flew away , To a jlelil ft blooming hay , On the buttercup and clover to alight ; " "While the Wasp set out to find Something suited to his mind , And was soon In a camella out of sight. Hew perfectly natural and delightfully charming" Is the abova conversation between the Wasp and the Bee. How cordially we all hate the Wasp , who seems always In red- hot haste to poison us with his ilerce sting , and how delightfully wo watch the busy Bee as he so Intently and persistently gathers and stores away the delicious honey. The brilliancy cf Palmer Cox , the author of the above delightful story , Is shown by the fact that with perfect simplicity and ease ho thus instills Into the youthful mind the Important lesson that wo may gather either poison or hcney from tho. same surround ings , the only question Is , will wo be the sweet-tempered honey Bee , or the scornful , Indolent Wasp ?

WHAT IT HAS DONE AND HOPES TO DO UoTlcvr of Its KmU-aroiM In tlio City and In the Ktiitc Kcnutt ot Illcctton of Onicorg Wnmi Its Own Uulldlng. The eleventh annual meeting of the Women's Christian association of Omaha was held yesterday. Beth afternoon and evening were occupied , the former being taken up with tht buslnets session and the latter with a program of music and addresses. The business meeting was held In the Commercial club rooms , and this was chiefly taken up with routine business listening to annual reports and the president's address and with the election of officers. The reports showed that the association was In an excel lent c-ndltlon. The report of the treasurer was especially encouraging , from the fact that It showed that the association was en tirely out of debt and that there was a slight balance In the treasury. Many of the mem bers had confidently expected that a deficit would bo discovered on ace unt of the hard times. The election of oUlcers resulted as follows : President , Mrs. F. M. Ford ; first vice pres ident , Mrs. II. J. Penfold ; second vice pres ident , Mrs. J. B. Jardlne ; third vice pres ident , Mrs. Thomas McCague ; fcurth vice president , Mrs. F. E. Short ; recording secre tary , Miss L. S. McCague ; corresponding sec retary , Mrs. J. O. Halnes ; treasurer , Mrs. George Tllden ; trustees , Mesdames H. Ludltig- ton , Cadet Taylor , Anglln , 0. H. Pratt , W. I ) . Taylor , E. E. Elliott , C. T. Morton , Wil liam Fleming , A. B. Somers , Hopkins , Wil liam Parmelee. II. M. Clayton and Misses F. D. Collier end Ella Dracken ; honorary trus tees , Mrs. J. J. McLaln , Mrs. P. L. Pcrlne. After the election of officers brief talks were made by Mrs. Springer of St. Louis , president of the International board , Mrs. Stler'e of Lincoln , and Mrs. Phelps , president of the Women's Christian association of Coun cil Bluffs. In the evening a large- audience gathered la the rooms of theWoman's club to llst n to tho'program of addresses and music. The principal address of the evening was that of Mrs. Springer. She outlined the work that the association was doing for women from infancy to old age. Children are cared for whllo their mothers are workIng - Ing for their dally bread. When the girls are ready for the training school they are taught In that school everything that a woman can do. Another department looks out for the women that have sinned and attempts to lead them back to an honorable life. Then there are homes for aged women and some for both aged men and women , and hospitals that chiefly care for women and children. The travelers' aid department has also done a. great deal of good. Mrs. Springer predicted that Omaha would. In a comparatively sh'ort time , have an association building that would bo a credit to the city and urged the business men "to go deep down Into their pockets" to help on the enterprise. Mrs. Ford said that she Intended to look upon the dark side of Omaha. There was a painful Indifference exhibited by the women of the city toward the work. Although the Young Women's Christian association had over 700 members and the Woman's club had 450 , the Women's Christian association never had moro than eighty-three. This showed that women joined the two former associations simply for the entertainment that they af forded , and that they did not realize the true privilege and Importance of the wjrk. There was a painful lack of building In the city for charitable purposes. In her talk Mrs. Halnes said that the asso ciation had started In with a single $5 dona tion. Now it owned property that was valued at over $12,500. Mrs. Springer said that the entire ! property owned by the association in this country was valued at over $4,000,000. The remainder of the addresses were all Interesting , and the music was very well ren dered. Mrs. P. L. Perlne spoke about the good done at the Old Ladles' Home , and Mrs. Tracy ot the lodging house and travelers' aid work. Mrs. Welch ot Lincoln described the work being generally done In Nebraska. Mrs. Peattle made a commendatory address , giving an outsider's view , and Miss McCarthy spoke of the Young Women's Christian association. Miss Stevens and Miss Holtcrft rendered beautiful piano solos , and vocal solos were sung very sweetly by Mrs. Charles Drexel and Mrs. Cook. A violin duet by Messrs. Cook and Slambaugh and a vocal duet by Mrs. Ely and itlrtfJohnswere heard with the uiual cvldencos-idf hearty appreciation. Oregon KldncyVTca cures all kidney trou bles. Trial slie,2r.1jtnt ; .
