KCKEO THE ELECTRIC LIGHT BILL Illljr Attorncj llncclton Ailvl cs tUe Council It llni the t'o\rcr to Itcgntate the Kunnliiff of the Oiimhn train * on the Street Itallway. The city counclMield a special meeting last evening and In spite of the hot weather managed tu transact several Interesting Items of business , one of the principal of which was to arrange for'the first Junket the council has taken at the expense of the city for several years. The Junket Is to begin next Thursday , when the aldermen will leave for St. Joseph , Mo. , for the ostensible purpose of Inspecting the sewer system of that city. It Is supposed that this trip Is Intended to have some bearing on the future action with reference to the proposed changing of Indian creek Into a closed sewer from Bryant to Mynster street. The committee of the whole reported favorIng - Ing the purchase of three new horses for the fire department and the sale of the patrol team , which are hardly equal to the demands made upon them. It also recom mended that the matter of passing an ordi nance regulating the width of tires on the wheels of traffic wagons be referred to n peclal committee of three , with Instructions o correspond with other cities and ascertain vhat regulations are In vogue there. It was .dopted. . The bill of the electric light company for , Iay and June , to which objection was raised . .t the last meeting by Alderman Shubert , was brought out of the basket , together with the recommendation of the committee to which It was referred. The committee had 'omul that the police had reported the lights iut 1,112 hours more than the light company , nd recommended that a corresponding do- luctlon be made from the amount to be aid the company. It also recommended that he cost of removing two arc lights be re- uced from $22 to ? 10. Doth were adopted. The police commission , which Investigated .he case of Colonel Jake Shoup , the pou dmis er , recommended that the colonel be re- alned , but that he be dismissed Instanter If ho ever appeared on the street again In an ntoxlcated condition. The report was adopted. The city marshal was Instructed to order all railways having tracks on Seventh street , between Thirteenth and Fourteenth aVcnues o plank their tracks within twenty days. The ordinance regulating public weighing after several weeks of discussion and alter ation , was finally passed under a suspension of the rules. It provides that all public weighing Is to be done under the supervision of the city welghmaster. All persons doing public weighing must procure blank tickets from the city at $3 per 100 , half of this amount to go to the city and the other half o the welghmaster , who Is required to test all public scales In the city at least once a month. City Attorney Hazelton made a report with reference to the city's right to require the Omaha & Council Bluffs Bridge company to run Its Omaha trains around the Pierce street loop. In looking over the ordinances o 18G8 and 1886 , by which the company ac quired Its right to operate , he found no ex press stipulation as to where the company was to run Its trains , but he did find In the 1880 ordinance a clause binding the company to comply with "any other ordinance hereafter after passed for the regulation of the use by the company of the rights granted herein and not In conflict herewith. " This clause , to gethcr with the Inherent power of the coun ell to pass any ordinance making reasonabh regulations for the comfort , safety and welfare faro of the public , give all the authority the council needs to deal with this question The reasonableness of the ordinances , h further said , was not to be determined by the expense to the company , but merely by thi convenience of 'he public. The opinion wa : filed , and the representatives of the eastern part of the city went homo with satisfied looks on their faces. Bids were opened for sidewalk , and Wick ham Bros , were found to be the lowest bid ders on four , five and six-foot brick sidewalk their prices being as follows : Pour-foot , cash 24 cents ; certificates , 31 cents ; five-foot , cash 27 cents ; certificates , 27 cents ; six-foot , cash 30 cents ; certificates , 31 cents. City Englnee Etnyre was Instructed to tabulate the bid and another meeting of the council will bi held this evening to let contracts. Thomas Officer requested the council ti knock the south side of Avenue O from Thlr teenth to Fourteenth out of the sidewalk ordinance , because the property beyond wa nothing but prairie. His request was referrei to a committee consisting of Aldermen Shu bsrt , Greenshields and Brewlck. On motion of Alderman Ilisliton the clt marshal was Instructed to notify propert owners throughout the city to cut the weed ; on their premises.

A petition from property owners asking fo ; a fire alarm box at the corner of Fourth stree and Twenty-first avenue was referred to th fire committee. The city electrician , James Bradley , statei that he was unable to keep the fire alarm boxes In proper shape without assistance. The system now consists of fifty miles of wire thirty-one boxes and fifty other appliances and he thought an extra man was absolute ) , necessary.

FOWLER , DICK & WALKER , 401-405 Broadway , Council Bluffs , la. iNTKiu'.sr nit : A New rrlno'pte In IlrenJdne nncl Stirring 1'loivn Tented VenteriiuT. Lucius Wells , of Deere , Wells & Co. , and a crowd of newspaper men watched the test- ng of a new plow yesterday afternoon , and while It was an event of considerable Inter est to the horny-handed pencil shovers , It will undoubtedly prove of lasting benefit to the farmers of Iowa and Nebraska and the world. It Is a little odd , when you come to tblnk of t , that there has been no change In the principle of the plow since Father Adam's Ime. The sharpened forked stick has simply been replaced with the steel shear and mould board. Indirectly , Hon. J. Sterling Morton , secretary of agriculture , Is responsible for the creation of the plow tested yesterday. In a recent speech the thought occurred to him that It was about time to try some other principle , and he took occasion to point out ' ; he fact that millions of acres of fine farming lands had been ruined by the usual style of plowing , which cut a furrow a few Inches deep and left the loose dirt resting on a hard smoothly cut foundation , where It could be washed away , or dry out like dust on a street pavement. The plow that the Deere people brought out to meet the secretary's Ideas Is a remarkable novelty , and the first farmer that gets It can worship It without the sin o idolatry. The tesUwas made In a llttlo stub ble field north of Twenty-fifth street. The spectators saw two ordinary horses pulling a small compact machine that was cutting a wide swath In the black dirt and pulverlz- 'ng It to the depth of nearly three times tha reached by the old plows. A concave stee disc , about the size of a bicycle wheel , was rolling along and throwing out the dirt like a ditching machine , while back of It a stee tongue was tearing * up the earth fourteen nches bslow the surface. There was no she mouldboard or Gutter , but the rolling disc moving freely and set at an angle , was doing the work , 'cutting a furrow twenty Inches wide and fourteen deep , a feat that could only be accomplished In the Old way by two teams and a sub-soil plow , making a saving In draught of 60 per centt There Is no friction The rolling disc seems to cut the earth and pry It out of the furrow , pulverizing It mosi thoroughly. The test was highly satisfactory to Mr , Wells "and those personally Interested , and made the old farmers that had been attracted open their eyes In unfeigned astonishment , The plow will be exhibited at the Nebraska state fair , where It will undoubtedly create a sensation.

Kcellne , Mr. Pokorny , Israel Frank of Omaha , and Gus Hendrlcks , who acted as Judges for the beef killing contest at the butchers' picnic Sunday , postponed their decision until yesterday. Mike Homer of Swift's and Frank Noonan of Cudahy's were the contestants , and each had some claim to the first prize. Remer did his work In the better manner , swinging his knife with an ease and grace that would have done credit to a surgeon of twenty years' experience , and the Judges decided that he scored the most points. But he finished the Job In five minutes and twenty seconds , while Noonan beat his fifteen seconds. Noonan's work , however , was marred by several little technical defects which were apparent to the experts In the crowd. He failed to kill his beef at the first blow , as Rcmer did , and had to keep batting away until the animal finally caught the sledge hammer In the right spot and rolled over , a corpse. He did the skinning more rapM'.y than did Rtmer , but there were several slashes In the hide which the Judges decided ought not to have been there. It was decided that a com promise should be entered Into , and the , prlze be divided between the contestants. Don't differ with the foremost cooks they all use and endorse the peerless baking pow der of the century Dr. Price's. Only u Friendly suit. Ezra Swlgart and Amos Clark , two able- bodied men whose families have been given aid recently by the overseer of the poor , found time yesterday to go to law about an old offense , alleged to have been committed by Clark five years ago. In 1891 Swlgart filed an Information In a Justice court charg ing Clark with stealing some household furniture , but the warrant was never served , Clark leaving about that time for Nebraska. But a couple of months ago be returned , and to all appearances Swlgart harbored no grudge against him , for they began farming a little tract of land near the edge of Potta wattamle and Mills counties , Swlgart was fur nished seed corn and potatoes at the expense of the county by order of the supervisors , but he never neglected to send In his monthly bill for household expenses to Overseer Swearlngen. Clark , who wag to get a share of the proceeds of the farm , also lent In a request for aid frequently , but Swearlngen refused him on the ground that > ii i he was e non-resident of.Ioiva , having come so recently from Nebrask Ji Some disagreement hits' ndw arisen be tween them , It seems , over the division of the profits , for Swlgart has' resurrected his old charge and had Clark arrested yester day. Mr. Swearlngen Is of the opinion that the arrest Is the result of A' put up Job be tween the two men. Clark's requests for money and provisions wexa .refused so long us he was out and around , but now that he Is In Jail the condition of his family Is so pitiable that the sympathies of the over seer have been aroused an'd he gave Mrs. Clark the much desired order on the grocer yesterday. This Is only one of half n dozen * court cases , Mr. Swearlngen says , In which county paupers have been Implicated recently. The county acts as a good father and provides them with all the necessaries of life with out their turning a hand. They consequently have all the time they need for picking quarrels with one another , and thus pro vide light amusement for themselves , the county footing the bills. Clark's case Is to be tried In Justice Vlen's court Friday. Grocers try to sell "Just as good" baking powder as Dr. Price's because of greater profit. None can equal Dr. Price's. ( Irilmni Drtnrm lied lo Commit filicide. William D. Graham , an old soldier whose domestic troubles have been aired at some length In the newspapers , tried to climb the golden stair last evening with ths assistance of a small bottle of laudanum. A short time ago he was arrested on the charge of bigamy , and the case Is still pend ing against him In one of the Justice courts. He went to his home on Eighth street and Twelfth avenue yesterday afternoon with the fixed determination to put an end to his grief. He had a bottle of laudanum in his hand , and waved It at his wife , tragically Informing her that his hour had come. He then uncorked the flask and took a drink , but before he could get n full dose down his esophagus she grabbed It away from him and ran. William did not care to commit suicide badly enough to chase her and take the bottle away from her. Mrs. Grali.im came to town nnd filed an Information charging her husband with threatening to con.mlt a public offense. He was arrested and taken to the city Jail. There he made another high tragedy move. Seizing his knife he opened It and was Just about to stick himself somewhere when Deputy Mar shal Peterson and Constable Albertl caught him by the arms and prevented him from doing anything desperate.

Pltzcl. Detectives Cuddy of Toronto ami Gcyer of Philadelphia made the discovery , and all doubts as to their fate have been set at rest. It Is now a matter almost beyond doubt that H. H. Holmes , when here last October , deliberately murdered the pair , and thus rid himself of two troublesome young beings , after he had murdered their father In Philadelphia. The Inquiries begun by the police led to the knowledge that Holmes and the children lived at the house in question and a search was made. When they reached the cellar It appeared lo the detectives that something had disturbed the cellar door , and they began to dig. A short distance below the surface they came across the arm and a portion of the head of one of the little murdered girls. Further work soon revealed the entire boJy. not only of the first , but of her sister. They were both naked. The last trace the officers had of the children was at Detroit. Holmes secured possession of Alice , aged 13 , first taking her to Philadelphia to Identify her father's body. Then he went to St. Louis and told the mother that ho had put Howard and Nelllo In a good school In Indianapolis. This wai > on September 28 , 1894. Mrs. Pltzel received two letters from Holmes In Indianapolis and acting on his advice she went to her parents' homo In Illinois. Becoming worried about the children , she went to Chicago , where she received word from Holmes to go to Detroit. She met him In that city and de manded the children , but was Induced to go with him to Toronto and then to Burling ton , Vt. So far as known the boy was never seen In Detroit. TORONTO , July 15. There were no traces of violence on the bodies , and It Is thought Holmes decoyed the children Into a trunk under some pretext and took them to the house. Then gas was Inserted by means of a tube through n small hole. The trunk was found with a hole In It nearly covered over with a strap tacked down , where the tube had been Inserted. The little girls , when found , were naked , and had been burled with out a coffin of any kind. No trace of the boy , Howard , a lad of 8 , has been found , but he is thought to bo dead. The St. Vin cent street house has been taken possession of by the police and an Inquest will bo held tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. The crime was probably committed In this country , and It will be necessary to extradite Holmes and put him on trial for murder here.
