Many petitions are yet being cir culated , but ns the people are so very nnx- liius lo have this enterprlbo started at once , we did not wait for more petitions , already having many more thun the law requires Wo trust you will call the election at once , us thousands of our laboring people are without work or subsistence , and we believe that In the building of this great public worlc our home laborers will be given the preference , and but few will have to apply to the county for aid the coming winter. We hell-ve Unit the amount of bonds to be votetl should be not less than $1,500,000. The petition was also read , the reading of the C. ! > 00 names appended being , upon the suggestion of Commissioner Stenberg , dis pensed with. The undersigned legal voters of Douglas county , Nebraska , hereby petition your hon orable body to call a special election and submit to the legal voters of Douglas county , Nebraska , the question of Issuing bonds In a sum not exceeding 10 per cent of the assessed valuation of all taxable prop erty In said county , for the purpose ot con structing a canal hy said Douglas county { rum u point on the Platte river , near the northwest corner of Uouplas county , thence In n northeasterly direction to the Etkhorn river , thence In u southeasterly direction on the most practicable route tn u point near Omahn , for navigation , water power ami nil other purposes except Irrigation , and for generating electric ami ether power , and transmitting the same for light , heat , power ami other purposes , and to levy taxes to pay the same and Interest thereon , under the provisions of the laws of Nebraska. W. A. L. Olbbon. In behalf ot the citizens' delegation , stated that the building of the canal was something the taxpayers were tnxlous to secure. The commissioners were not called on to commit themselves to the ' proposition. The taxpayers would settle the question. The construction ot the canal would revive Industries. It was urged that Immediate action be taken on the questUn. Commissioner Stenberg moved that the pe tition be referred to the committee of the whole , subject to the call of the chairman , and with power to secure legal advice. vVILIi QIVC SEED POTATOES.

Mayor Ileinla , In behalf of the agricultural Commission , referred to the request which had been submitted to the board ocveral days ago , asking for $1.500 In the way of aid. Already , ho said , the association had had 100 applications , and would soon have 'several hundred. Omaha , it might be stated , con tributed nine-tenths of the tax passing into the hands of the county commissioner , and the city felt Ju .ifled In asking for considera tion. The mayor said he had examined the legal question Involved , and had asked advice and felt assured that the county was the proper party to extend aid. He hoped that no Ill-feeling between the city and county on any official questions , especially on such a publla question , would exist. Mr. Jenkins' remarka of a few days ago. In reference to the appropriation by the city for a Fourth of July celebration. Mayor Hernia said , were equalled by a. similar reso lution pissed by the county Itself , a few days before the resolution referred to by Mr. Jen kins was passed , In which the county set the example by voting $500 for tne same celebra tion. The mayor hoped that the county would not fear to strain a point If necessary , calling attention to various acts of the com missioners In the past to Justify his position that In so grave a matter the county should stand by the poor. Commissioner Jenkins called attention to the extent to which the county had gone In the way of extending charity aid the past wlnte. ' . It had already consumed the entire amount of the genwal fund , leaving the county treasury penniless. Ana there was no such necessity existing , he maintained , as would Justify the county In drawing on Its credit to advance the sum askeJ. Commissioner Llvcsey renewed his position taken Wednesday , upholding the mayor's view. Ho opposed restricting the aid to the few of the county's poor who might apply. However , he said , ho would vote for the re port. port.Chairman Chairman Williams said he objected to placing a premium on previous poverty , as this report contemplated , since it proposed aiding only a particular class. Commissioner Stenberg maintained that the board In adopting the report would go as far as It. possibly could do and do Justice to the taxpayers. The matter was then brought to a vote and carried unanimously. Several citizens offered to speak further , but were assured by Jenkins and Stenberg that theboari had resolved on this course. Tha South Omaha Garden Farming asso ciation asked for 200 bushels of seed potatoes. The application was referred ( o the charity ccmmltiee. The salary of Dr. Illythln , county physician , was fixed at $150 a month for the ensuing yea.v Frill A. Railey was appointed Justice of the peace for West Omaha on petition of resl- dints of that district , A. L. Sutton voting In r'.io negative. Clerk Frank E.

NEW MOVEMENT TO SLUGGISH CHANNELS GUcn the Tanner and Consumer a Cou- ildcnco Unit in Imparted I'lrnt to the Itntnllcr nnil Then to the .Jobber Talk with IluAlncg * Men. While the enthusiastic admirer Is reveling In the assurance of activity Induced by the state fair and carnival and dreaming of an electric tramway , I'Utte canal and union depot In well defined relief amidst the haze of speculation , the practical business men are gathering scarcely less encouragement from the Improved feeling that ban been apparent in trade since the bountiful mini of the past two weeks have given their promise of the crop , on the gathering of which all the more speculative plans must largely de pend for their success. This feeling Is especially noticeable In the Jobbing trade. The.wholesale men are the first to feel any change in the general condi tions of the state and their correspondence almost invariably reflects the slightest varia tion In the commercial barometer. An Im proved feeling among the people Is at once shared by the retail merchants and by them communicated to the Jobbers , with whom their business relations are of the closest order. The successful wholesaler must be In touch with the retail trade in all the territory In which he expects to do business , and the Omaha jobbers are noted for their cnterprlsa in this respect. There Is not a Jobber In Omaha who has not detected a material improvement In the general feellns In his line since the recent rains. Trade that has been lagging under the menace of another drouth season has Jumped Into remarkable activity and promises better than at any time this year. There is not only a better feeling In business circles , but In most lines Increased orders have been made and a general tendency to enlarge on the fomewhat conservative orders that were taken earlier In the season is noticed. INCLINED TO BANK ON IT. The rains have beeu so copious and wide spread that the success of small grains Is thought to be assured anil corn will be planted under the most favorable conditions. Such prospects are more than ordinarily ac ceptable after two years of drouth and hard ship and the loosening up tendency Is more emphatic than It might b ? under other con ditions. A canvass of the local Jobbers re veals an expectation of Improved business that amounts to something approaching cer tainty. It has been a long time since they were more confident and complacent than at present , and they are nearly unanimous in the assertion that the rain lias assured a business far ahead of what they had dared to hope for. Some of the Ideas that the re porter encountered may be taken as representative sentative- the feeling In wholesale circles , and they may be read wl"i a considerable degree of satisfaction by any one who has business Interests at stake In Nebraska. C. H. Pickens of i'axton & Gallagher says there has been a remarkable picking up In the business of his firm slnco the rain. Orders are coining in more freely , and the loosening up Is so general that It promises a much better spring business than could have bem expected two weeks ago. He con siders the improvement almost entirely due to the rains , which have greatly encouraged the retail dealers. There was a considerable class among the Nebraska retailers who had been holding off persistently In the fear that there was another dry year In pros pect and that business was gone entirely. The rain has entirely changed the aspect of things , nd now they ar piling In order * with a liberal band , WANT TO SKB SAMPLES. Another feature U the demand for travel ing men.

' to look at samples a few weeks ago are now wiring for a visit , and claiming excellent prospe-cts for crops and business. If the crop should materialize Mr. Pickens antici pates the biggest fall trade slnco 1SD2 , and one that In many respects will be more satis factory than the boom of that year. George M. Tlbbs , M. K. Smith & Co. Have the ralna helped us ? - Well , I should say they have. There Is no comparison be tween the situation now and what It was a few weeks ago. Now all our customers seem to be sanguine , and they are stacking up orders In a way that Is very encouraging. I shall go to New York next week to buy fall stocks for a big trade , and I am confi dent that \\o will not be disappointed. C. n. Hall , Klrkcndall. Jones & Co. Yes. business has been given a tremendous Im petus by the rains. Orders are more liberal and prospects are much improved. We are receiving telegrams every day from our cus tomers asking us to send our traveling men around , and the mall business Is on the boom. We have round only one man who has not picked up heart since the rain. He wrote us that It had rained so much where he was that lie could not get out to collect , consequently lie would have' to have a little more time on his bill. Rector-Wllhelmy compiny While it Is a llt- tlo too soon for us to derive much actual bene fit , we cannot help hut notice that there is a much improved feeling. The last week has shown a decidedly more liberal tendency on the part of the retailers , and If the pres ent prospects continue the Omaha Jobbers will be very much in it. nOUDUNG ORIGINAL ORDERS. Lee-Clarke-Andreesen Hardware Company We are doing a big business and can say that the rain has Imparted a decided strength to the trade. Of courbo It Is too early to say just what per cent of our trade Is due to the wetting , but the general feeling is Improved 50 per cent and the retailers are feeling bet ter tban ever before. Many of our customers are supplementing their original orders. The retailer who thought he could use about two rolls of wire netting a month or two ago Is ordering more than as much again , and we are receiving telegrams every day hurrying us up on shipments. Ever ) " letter we get now assures us that the prospects are excel lent. and wo expect continued Improvement. 55. T. Lindsay , rubber goods This Is be tween seasons with us , but we notice a ma terial improvement In every respect. Re- tallers are more liberal In their orders , and It Is evident that they are feeling very sanguine. The rain has improved the pros pects for tbo fall traTle Immensely. Our men are most of them in waiting to go out with the fall lines , but , those who have made a trip report a , wonderful Improvement In the situation. E. II.

PUSHING UNCLE SAM'S ' WORK Some Facts Concerning the New Postoffica Building. GREAT PILE CF BRICK , STONE AND IRON Workmen Unity In Completing the Struc ture , Mlth n l'ro i > oet Unit It Will Ho Jtenily for Occupuney Two Yeura Hence Cost of the Structure. In the heart of Omaha busy workmen are swiftly shaping the new government building , and In a short space of time a former hole In the ground will be transformed Into a mammoth and magnificent structure , which will occupy one block , and erected at a total cost of $1,200,000. The activity at Sixteenth and Dodge streets has a tendency to Inspire even the most conservative observer that Uncle Sam has lnliille ] faith In the stability of Omaha and the future Increased dovelopmcnt of this city. city.The The sum of $100.000 was paid for the site upon which the new structuib Is being erected The total appropriation for the building proper , exclusive of site , Is $800,000 , of which $358,049.33 has been expended up to date , mostly for labor , stone , brick , Iron and 'material. The work thus far has been pushed without delay , and the stone work Is approaching completion. The tower and rear wall are yet to be finished. IN TWO YBAHS MOKE. The designs of the new government quar ters wera prepared by the supervising archi tect and subsequently revised. Dirt was first broken for the foundation In November , 1891. Work on the building was Inaugurated In May , 1S94 , and has progressed ever since. The building Itself Is evidence of progress In this respect. Compared with con struction of federal buildings In course of erection In other cities , the Omaha struct ure has made the b = st time In shaping Itself Into substantial evidence of architecture. The building Is now Just one-third finished , and will be completed and ready for occupancy within two years. The exterior of the building. Including complete roofing , plastering and llreprooflng. will be completed this year. The contracts for roof covering and skylights will be awarded- during this month. The contracts for flrcproofing and plastering will ba let In August. The present working force consists of forty- flvo men. This number will b Increased to sixty-five within a lew weeks , and work will be pushed with the energy which has char acterized Superintendent Latcnser's admin istration of affairs. The contracts now in force are these of Paxlon & Vlerllng for Iron work , $29,800 , and the Drexel Stone company for stone and brick for upper itructure , $285,000. The court walls are finished with enameled brick , which presents a pleasing harmony with the granite * which composes the outer walls. The granite Is supplied by Cecities & Seerlo of Denver , subcontractors , while the enameled brick comes from St. Louis , and Is of the best quality of manufacture. The building , when completed , will be a four-story and basement structure , with a tower which will bo 200 feet from dome to ground , and sixty feet higher than the solid masonry of the building and will have a roof eighteen feet higher than the top of the granite-rim Iwrder of the tower. There will bo two elevators , and every precaution has been taken to guard against a gloomy Interior , which Is at present a characteristic of the federal building at Fif teenth and Dodge streets.

Hydraulic machines for lifting water Into the sewer are con stantly at work and will he placed In posi tion for emergencies. It was the original Intention to construct an addition to the building , and work on the rear wall was suspended pending the action of congress to make the necessary appropriation for HIP adjunct , but Inasmuch as congress declined to open Its pursestrings any further for the purpose named , it was abandoned and work on the rear wall will now bo finished. All material necessary for this year's work Is now on hand. The stone contractors have put in Immense derricks which lift granite blocks , sonio of which weigh several tons , to the fourth story. It Is possible that a new sidewalk will bo erected around the building. Superintendent Latenscr makes his head quarters on the grounds In the "little brick house around the corner" at Capitol ave'mie and Seventeenth streets. He Is attending to the supervision of the building with a con stancy which has won much favorable com ment , and surveys the progress of the work with Intense satisfaction. He says that if possible ho will endeavor to surprise the community by having the finishing touches put on the structure before the contemplated two years' time In order to break the record of federal construction. In the meantime worlc will be pushed wllli restless zeal to attain that end. When finished It will be one of the largest and best equipped federal buildings In the country , and In point of architectural beauty will be surpassed by none. KTJHN SOD A FOUNTAIN OPENING.

The crowd was attracted by the announcement of the thlnl annual spring opening of the soda fountain at N. A. Kuhn & Co.'s drug store. This company , which has long been In the lead In prescription specialty , has determined to surpass In the quality of soda fountain drinks offered and In serving them , and more people attended the opening yesterday than have ever before been seen at a coda fountain opening In this city.

The men did not get this com pliment , but they were just us numerous as the women , and they , with the boys and girls , swelled the number of those who lifted glasses from the counter to several thousand. A number of assistants were required to ac commodate the throng.
