    THE OMAHA DAILY BK13II WEDNESDAY , JULY 17 , 1805.
Islcncc would hnvo been made public nt
tlmt time ,
We bollcvc that the city comptroller
should check the report of the city treas
urer , not only with the books In the comp
troller's olllce , which nio required to bo
kept by him. but also with the various de
pository hanks , the cash In the treasurer's
olllce. und such other facts us can be ob
tained by the comptroller ; and , while recog
nizing that tticre may bo nn honest differ
ence of opinion as to whether this duty la
enjoined on the comptroller by the char
ter , we believe that the comptroller should
have nskcd the mayor and council for In
struction * In the premises.
NQT WOJITH THE MONEY.
\Ve further find It n shame that $10,000
of the taxpayers' money should be spent
yearly In maintaining a department that
has proven Itself to bo of so little value as
the" comptroller's department has. And In
this connection wo would recommend that
his- honor , the'mayor , bo requested to Im
mediately co-operato with the city council
In forcing economy and retrenchment In
not only this department , but In every other
dpphrtment In the city hall ,
We recommend that this report , with
the evidence received by the committee ,
presented herewith , be referred to the
mayor , for such action and disposition
thereof us ho may desMro ; that the neces
sary ordinances be passed to Improve the
methods In vogue In the comptroller's nnd
treasurer's olllces , In the following respects :
First That the comptroller be authorized
and required to countersign all checks
drawn by the city treasurer , nnd to keep
nn account of the mime.
Second That the city treasurer be re
quired , when making a deposit , to obtain a
duplicate slip , showing the amount of the
deposit , nnd to file the same with the city
comptroller within twenty-four hours after
making such deposit.
Third-Thai the city treasurer be required
to deposit , each day , all funds collected
by him , with the exception of a small
amount to be used as cash on hand In his
olllce.
Fourth-Thai the city comptroller should
be required to keep an account with the
different city depositories , so as to be able
to ascertain the condition of accounts In
the respective banks.
Fifth That the comptroller be required to
count cash on hand In the treasurer's of
fice on the first day of each month , or
whenever directed ? o to do by either the
mayor or city council , and to make a report -
port of the same to the'Clty council nt its
next regular meeting ; and , also , at said
time , to report the amount of cash on de
posit In the respective banks , as shown
by his books.
\Ve further' recommend that the above
flvo recommendations bo referred to the
judiciary committee , with Instructions to
bring In the necessary ordinances to carry
Into effect the Bald recommendations.
WHITEWASH WAS HKADY.
The anticipated whitewash materialized In
the minority report , which was signed by
Saundcrs. This report contained no statement
of the evidence that had been brought before
the committee. It simply stated that no
Irregularities had been discovered In the
books In the comptroller's ofllce and there
was no evidence that his reports had been
Incorrect. Saunders was therefore unwilling
to concur In the majority report.
Jacobaen moved the adoption of the minor
ity report , and Howell moved to nmend by
adopting that of the majority. Howell stated
that there was but one difference between
the two reports. The minority stood In favor
of an office holder against the Interests of the
taxpayers. The majority stood for the tax
payers as opposed to the Interests of the
ofllco holder.
Prince characterized the majority report as
"unjust , malicious and vindictive. " Ho de
fended OlseJi by claiming that he was merely
the victim of persecution from political op
ponents , and asserted that the comptroller
had not Intentionally failed In his duty.
Howell replied to the charge of being gov
erned by political motives by saying that he
had given better support to a republican ad
ministration thnn any republican on the floor
of the council.
SAUNDBUS MAKES AN ADMISSION.
Saunders , In favor of his report , said that
there had been no evidence before the com-
mlttco to show that Olseii was guilty of any
malfeasance In office or of any collusion with
the Irregularities In the olllce of the city
treasurer. Other comptrollers had done Just
as Olsen had , nnd they had never been cen
sured. Ho admitted that the present system
In the comptroller's ofllco was loose and
should be Improved , but contended that Olscn
should not be held responsible for past de
ficiencies. -
Mercer sald that there could be no question
but that It wa's at least the Implied duty of
the comptroller to. Inform''the council that
there was a discrepancy In the treasurer's of
fice as soon as the fact was apparent. This
must have been known to the comptroller on
May 1. when the treasurer's report was pre
sented , showing a balance of $20.000 , when
It was a notorious fact that warrants were
going unpaid on the plea that there was no
money to cash them.
Taylor thought It was a case of "hind
sight" and that all that could bs done waste
to provide a more latlsfactory system for the
future. HIs , only objection to the majority
report was "that It "reflected on the city
comptroller. "
The vote on the adoption of the majority
report was:1 :
Ayes Hechel , Burkley , Cahn , Holmes ,
Howell , Kment , Lemly , Mercer 3.
Noes Hack , Gordon , Jacobsen , Jaynes ,
Prince , Saundcrs , Taylor , Thomas , President
Edwards 9.
The adoption of the minority report was
defeated by the same vote , Thomas voting
"nd" In each case.
Mercer's resolution that copies of boll , re
ports bo sent to the mayor was laid on the
tcble and the council returned to routine
business.
CASH TURNED OVKR TO DUMONT.
The finance committee reported that II
had attended to the transfer of the ofllcc ol
the city treasurer from Henry Bolln to J.
H. Duinont on July 10. At that time there
was a cash balance of $653.43 and there were
aggregate deposits In the various Omaha
banks of $211,475.11. This amount Include *
the proportion which was subject to allotmen
to the Hoard of Education.
The committee also reported that It hoi
found with { he treasurer $ ir > 0,000 In union
depot bonds. It advised that If there wns no
further use for these bonds steps should be
taken to have them cancelled and destroyed
The city electrician reported that the ex

The electrician also reported that the
Thomson-Houston company would light the

$2,150 for the purpose of lighting the aireots
under the original proposition was pntbecl
The amount will be paid out of the lighting

Hereafter the comptroller will be require .
to transmit all bills of more than $25 to the
city council , In order that they may be In
vestlgated by the proper committees.
There was a protracted debate over the re
port of the committee on sewerage , whlcl
recommended that the contracts for the Qrac
and Chicago street sewers be approved a.
awarded by the Board of Public Works , tc
the lowest bidder on Portland cement. Several
oral members wanted the work done wltl

Heine Drowned.
W. R. Pace , a member of the Omaha base
ball team , met with a painful and peculiar
accident last night. In company with a num
her of his companions he was at a swim
mlng bath on Howard street. He was diving
oft a spring board Into what he supposed
was nine feet of water , but which. as a matter
of fact was three feet less. He had made
several plunges , and each time had come to
the surface uninjured. Telling his compan
Ions that he could stay under the water for
five minutes he dived again. After waiting
spmo tlmo for the man to reappear they
cpncluded that something was wrong , ami
diving down found him on the bottom of
the tank. Ho was taken put , when It was
learned that In diving he had struck his head
on the asphalt floor of the tank , cutting his
scalp and rendering him unconscious.
Face was taken to hs ! hotel , where his
wounds were dressed , though It was several
hours before he was able to tell how the
accident happened.
Hard luck pursues Pace like a phantom.
Early In the season , while at practice , he
was struck by a ball and laid up for several
weeks , and since that tlmo ho has boon the
victim of several lesser accidents.

man for a preliminary examination of George
J. Gould of New York , before the trial of
her suit to recover the value of a $10.000

ground that It Is unnecessary , while the
brief of the plaintiff recites the law of New
Jersey which give ? , a Judge ths discretion
of examining a party to a suit before the
trial of the action takes place. Judge Llp

Omaha was easy for the Llncolns yester
day. U was the tenth game of the season
between the two teams , and It Is now a tie
five games each. This ought to be some
Incentive for both teams this afternoon , , but
will It ?
The pitching of both Balsz and Klmarer was
very good , each allowing- his opponents but
seven hits. Billy O'Brien is with the Lln
colns , and when be stepped to the bat he
was given a generous hand. Billy was very
popular In Omaha , and , In fact , always Is ,
wherever ha may be. He couldn't got next
to Louis Napoleon's curves. The playing
of the Omahogs was ragged and sloucby , and
they deserved what they got a licking.
Clean lidding would have whitewashed Lin
coln. Only two things happened to relieve
the > dull tedium of two hours a circus stop
by Ebright and a running catch by Slagle.
Lohtnan caught a man at third and a man
at first by quick throws , but that was'all
there was to the game. Score :

AS SOUVENIRS OF THE SALE
Yankton Sioux Indians to Bo Qivou a
Double Eagle E'.oli.
COSTLY KEEPSAKES FROM UNCLE SAM
I'nrt of the Agreement Under Which Ilic
Recently Opened ltracrvitl : ilVus
Coded Almul to Ha nrrlod Oat
by tne. Uoveriiuit'iiti
WASHINGTON , July 1C. ( Special. ) A
largo number ot Yankton Sioux Indians In
South Dakota are soon to be made the re
cipients ot a present from the United States
government. The present Is to bo given as a
souvenir of an occasion which will probably
linger In the memory of the tribe as long as
the tribe Itself exists , and Is to bo In the
form ot a $20 gold piece.
When James C. Adams and John C. Cole ,
representing the government , were negotiat
ing some tlmo ago with the Yankton Sioux
for the rellnqulshincnt and sale of a portion
of their lands , a provision was Incorporated
In the agreement , which , In effect , provided
that to each person whose tiatno was signed
to the agreement and to each other male
member of the tribe who was IS years old or
older at the date of this agreement should
bo paid by the United States government $20
In one double eagle struck In the year 1892 ,
as a memorial of the agreement. It was also
provided that It coins of the date named were
net In the treasury , coins of another data cjuld
bo substituted therefor.
The Indian office has Just completed prep
arations for the payment , and notice has been
sent to the Treasury department -requesting
that the necessary amount of money to pay
the Indiana bo set. aside to their credit. The
payment will be made through General James
A. Smith , who Is agent of the Yauktons , and
who Is stationed at Yankton , S. D. The agent
will draw a check upon the treasury for the
exact sum neeiled. This check will bo sent
to the Indian olllco In this city and when the
officials of that ofllco have certified to the
correctness of the signature the check win"
be forwarded to the secretary of the treasury
with an official request that the gold be
shipped to the agent at Yankton.
WILL PLEASE THE INDIANS.
There will undoubtedly be considerable re
joicing In the wigwams of the Yankton Sioux
when the treasured package arrives at Its
point ot destination In South Dakota and
in turned over to Its owners. Such a pay
ment will prove to bo a novelty to the Indians ,
for It Is the first time that the government
has ever sent gold ns a payment to any of
the red men' of the country. Most of the
payments In former years have been made by
means of checks , but this method has never
proved popular with the Indians , for the rea
son that they have been in many cases
cheated , so they claim , when they have asked
to have the checks cashed. They always like
to rccelvo sliver , however , because of its
heavy and bulky form , and they love to boast
fully carry largo amounts around when they
have It In their possession. Souvenirs of
former agreements and other events memora
ble to the Indians have usually been given in
the form of medals struck from some other
metal than gold or silver , and so an unusual
interest attaches to this coming payment ot
a Eouveulr In gold. It remains ti > bo seen
what the Indians will do with the treasure
when they receive It , and how much respect
they will entertain toward the meaning which
lies back of the gift which the government ,
through Its representatives , consented to
donate to the Indians in commemoration of
the solemn agreement which It entered Into
with them. Even the most sanguine of the
officials ot the Indian offlco do
not entertain hope that the In
dians will regard the gift with seriousness.
They anticipate , that the red men will
squander the money In needless extravagance
and that In a short tlmo few of them will
hold Jn their possession the valuable souvenir.
It is not known yet at the Indian office
from what point the gold will bo shipped , and
no action has yet been taken by the Treasury
department. It Is probable that tbe coins will
be shipped from ono of the sub-treasuries ,
where the gold Is on hand. It la expected at
the Indian office that only a short time will
elapse before the payments are made. It Is
estimated that the sum of $9,000 In double
eagles will be necessary to fulfill the pledge
which the government has made to the In
dians.

farmers was conducted by Oe nial Hoyatun ,
who pictures the road that best meet * Hit

WASHINGTON. July 1C. The report of the
government board on the recent trial of the
Olympl.x has been received here and today
was read by the secretary of the navy , \\lio
was much gratified with the showing mndo
by the vessel. The Olympla passed an ex
cellent Inspection. She mndo 19.C knots ,
which Is regarded as a very good speed ,
though It Is not considered as the maximum
speed of the vessel , which hits heretofore
reached 21 knots , the present being merely a
trial under ordinary circumstances and hot a
speed test. The speed given was mndo whllo
In sight of a measured distance , in order that
the board might tell exactly how fast they
were going. The board believes , however ,
that the ship exceeded this speed , nnd bases
the belief on the fact that for thrco hours the
ship wns out at sea and had no menus cf
measurement , save the log. She WAS making
moro revolutions during this sea trip than
when within measured distances. The trial
upon which the present report la bised was
not an olllclal trial , but merely n sea trial , or
dered by the department to learn what the
ship would do under ordinary circumstances.
The Olympla Is a contract ship and had her
official trhl some tlmo ago , earning $300.000
for the Union Iron works , by whom she was
built. The contract called for a 20-Jtnot ship ,
and a speed of 21.G9 knots was attained.

NEW YORK , July 16. Inquiry In the
nail trade In this city shows that there has
been an advance In the prlco of nails In the
last sixty days of nearly 100 per cent. This
Is said to be duo to a strong agreement
which Includes all the manufacturers In the
country. One thing Is certain , and that Is
that all the manufacturers , dealers and
agents In nulls In this city are now soiling
nails at the same prices. It was also learned
that there Is a strong probability that the
prices will go from 30 to 50 cents per 100
pounds on the average higher than they
are at present. This advance Is checked
only by the fear that too much greed may
promote foreign competition.
Mr. Fuller , the senior partner of Fuller
Bros. , a leading firm of nail dealers In New
York , told a reporter that he considered the
advance In the price of nails during the last
sixty days a result of the general Increase
of business prosperity , but admitted that an
agreement between the manufacturers not
to put out any more goods than they could
soil at a profit might have had something to
do with It. According 'n Mr. Fuller nails
have advanced more in proportion thnn some
other things because there had boon moro of
a depression In this line thnn In most other
goods. He cannot tell whether or not the
prlco will go any higher. Mr. Fuller said ;
"I do not believe much In the danger of for
eign competition In the nail trade. The
danger U In the foreign shipments ot raw
material In the shape of steel billets and pig
iron. That would check the tendency to ad
vance the prices here. "
