CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS All EflbrU at Pilling Vacancies Are With out Success. fIRST WARDERS ADVISED TO CAUCUS Money In ttiu Tri'iixury to He l'"oriiinll ' > - Dciiuiliiloil from llnlln I Clmrlen Unltt IK .Mmlc Holler , IiiMitcclur. The city council adjourned last night with out accomplishing anything toward breaking the deadlock on the selection of councllmcn to fill the Gordon and Dullols vacancies. A caucus of all the members was held In the president's private oIUco for nearly nn hour previous to the regular cession. Here It developed that the factions were as far apart as ever. A number of ballots were taken for the Gordon vacancy , but the votes wcr6 scattering. First one candidate had the lead and then another , but none of them secured enough votes tor a choice. R. C. Jordan carne nearest reaching the lucky point , as on one ballot he received eight of the ten votes necessary to a choice. Finally this was given up as a hopelc : task and a ballot was taken on the setc lion of a councilman at large to EUCCO DuUoles. Wheeler received five votes at the rest were scattering. Then Kennai mailo a few vigorous remarks. He said 1 was disgusted with the whole procccdlr nnd was about tired of the log rolling th Ind been going on for three , weeks. Kmei also thought It was about time the counc did something or else get out of the ro : and allow the people of the First waite to Oil the vacancies themselves. In the regular session Kmcnt nnd Him ham offered a resolution which proVldcd th : Ihe council proceed at once to fill the v , canclcs and that both 'men be selected froi the First ward. This was summarily vott down In accordanc ? with the caucus pn gram , Mercer , Kcnnard , Kment and Dlni ham alone voting for the resolution. Kment then moved that the First wai votera bo allowed to Ecttle the matter I primaries nnd that the council confirm the choice. This was declared out of order an this was the way the subject was left who the council adjourned. All this was a huge disappointment to big lobby of First ward citizens who ltd confidently expected to sec the selectloi made. They were loud In their expresslor of disapproval nnd some of them freely di clarcd that It was the Intention of the1 cout ell combines to Ignore the ward entirely I making the appointments. SlfGQEST A WARD CAUCUS. After the council adjourned another cauci was Informally called. The members e eluded themselves In the president's oflU for a second time and It was nearly mli night when the door was ngaln opened. Tl result was that the members agreed to dlffe " Nearly fifty billets were taken , but wit no hotter. success than attended provloi efforts. Then a motion prevailed that c the next ballot all candidates who receive three votes or less should bo dropped. Th ihad the effect of reducing the number of cai dldates to three , Jordan falling to recelv Jhe votes necessary to entitle him to furthi cSiiylilcratlon. Even with this the cauci found Itself unable to come to a decision , ar after considerable discussion the followln resolution wa's offered by Kennard ar adopted : Resolved , That It Is the sense of th .caucus that Inasmuch ns no agreement en Jic- reached In the matter of the selectlo \ f two councllmen from the First ward I iflll vacancies , the republican votera of sal want be nnd are hereby advised Hint shoul they hold nn Informal primary election I said ward , nnd select two men as the choice to fill Bald vacancies , that the clt council will ratify said action on the pai of said electors. Second , That the actlo Of this caucus be made known to the con mllteo nppolnttd-ly-tlie'Su'h Side Improvi mcrjt nHSOcUUIan to confer with ; lhe clt council In lihletmatter and that the chali roan of tills cUucus be the bearer of thl information. The council disposed of a consldcrabl amount cf business. UNITT GETS A JOH. Charley Unltt drew a job as holler Ir specter by virtue of an appointment b Mayor Broatcb. The appointment was cor firmed and his bond was presented and aj .proved. The sureties are John L. Wcbstc and C. 0. Lobeck. The recently developed opposition to tli location of the city jail In the city ha found voice when the contract of I'axto & Vlcrllng for the Iron work was submltte by the city attorney. Christie moved tha the contract be not approved , but he wa nlono In his position and the contract wa duly approved. Similar action was take on the contracts of P. Soudenberg for maso and carpenter work and Theodore Hone for the plpumblng. The bonds of John Matthlesen as superlr tendcnt of the city hall , La Estclle as as Blslant city attorney and W. n. Ten Eye ns city prosecutor were approved. The Acme Lighting company asked fo additional time In which to put In the nei pisollno lights. Referred to gas and elcc trie lights. An Invitation from Paxton & Burgess t attend the performance at the Crelghto theater Wednesday night was unanimous ] accepted. Allan presented a long resolution In whlc ! the uro of UNO rooms In the city hall fo court purposes was again prcstM.nl upon th county commissioners. Kennard objected 01 the ground that a similar resolution ha previously been passed and that furthe action was puporfluou ? . The resolution falle to pass : Ayes , Allan , Axford , Durmclstci Dlirliitle , Benawa , Thomas , Saunders , 7 ; nays Illngbam , Ilurkley , Kennard , Kmcnt , Lemly Mercer , Prince , Taylor , 8 , It was then re fcrred to the committee on buildings am property. A resolution by Prince provided that none ono but voters of Nebraska bo employed li municipal offices. Prince -explained that I had been stited that the now assistant clt ; engineer was not a resident of the Plate The resolution was unanimously adopted. Allan went Prlnco ono better by a reso lutlon which provided that no employment 01 public works bo given to persons who hai not been rerlilonU' of Omulia for at leas el * months. Adopted , The comptroller was directed to advertlei for bids on city deposits , A retolutlon authorizing the employmen of J. N. WPO | to check up the unpaid clt ] taxes at $ ? 0 per month was referred. INSTRUCTIONS TO HOWARDS. City Treasurer Rdwards was Instructed bj resolution to make a formal demand on ex Treasurer Bllln for the money duo the cltj and unaccounted for at the tlmo he reslgnei : bis oincc. The request of the Momhmln Choral coclctj for the uw of the largo room on the flftl floor of the city hall for rehearsals was denied on the ground that It would establish an embarrassing precedent. Prlnco , Kcnnard , Taylor , Christie and Al lan were appointed a committee to revise the rules. Ordinances abolishing the offices of gat Inspector and plumbing Inspector were In troduced by nenawa and referred , Ily thrlr provisions the duties of the gae > Inspector wore turned over to the city electrician and those of the plumbing Inspector to the Inspec tor of buildings. Among the ordinances pasrcd was the one by which the assistant city attorney was directed to perform the duties of attorney for the Board of Education. PROMISE NO FAVORITISM. The following report of the fire and police coirmlesloners was received and referred to the committee on police : Slr.co the Installation of the now board we are pleased to report that there 1ms been no conflict of opinions of tcrlous Import , but a hearty goad-will and earnest consideration of the views and wishes of each member all tending to tha betterment of the fire nnd police department forces In the Interest of good government and the protection of prop erty , and for the best Interests of Omaha generally , Wo found the flro and police departments dUtvrbcd by distensions that seriously weak ened their elllclency and which wore danger ous to the best Interests of our citizens. Wo have adopted civil service rules and regulations and have commanded a. strict obedience of- all of the rules adopted by tills board a IK ! a thorough enforcement of the law , no ; hi despotic severity , but humanely and kindly , with the idea of preventing crime and disaster rather than attempting to cure evil by proclamation nnd bluster. It lias been our aim to asar as possible el.mlnnte politics , religious questions or Any thing CISC' tending to demoralize the mem- bcri ) of the police force and fire department from discussion while the tn n are on duty , and wo have exacted and shall exact from cry member cf the fire and police depart ments , first , courteous and honest treatment , one to the other ; second , strict obedience of the rules nnd regulations of the department to which they belong , and a thorough per- foimanco of every duty assigned to them. U Is our Intention to weed out the drones and the men who nre Inclined to neglect their diillcs or to brce-1 dissensions In these de partments. We have also enforced the rules rigidly In regard to the use. of In toxicating liquors by the men In the flro and police departments , believing It for the good of nil and tor the Interest of the city that wo should have only sober men to perform these duties. Under civil service rules every applicant for n position In cither the flro or police departments will have to stand a regular examination and tuko his tuin for appointment In the regular way.Ve wish further to emphasize the fact that a position In either of thcro departments Is now held on merit alone , and from chief to the lowest member no ono cin bo removed without a fair epen Invert'gatlon on charges preferred and amply sustained , nnd tint nil citizens of proper Intelligence and physical quallflca lions are eligible to UIQM examinations , am If successful , are placed on the register wit the number gained by their merit mark nnd dra\\ when their turn comes , unlci their own misconduct prevents. Thcro wl ! bo no fnvorlllwi and no pets. We have n enemies to punlni ! or friends to reward. Continuing their report the commissioner state that they have done away with pur chasing the uniforms of the policemen am firemen by contract and have secured b'elte service by having the clothes made by th Omaha talloro. HOYS AND GIRLS KEEP OUT. In the way of suggestions the members o the board advocate the passage of on ordl nanco providing that vagrants and petty criminals may bo worked upon the streets thus earning enough to pay the expensx : while they are held as prisoners. They also ndvocato the passage of < in ordinance mak Ing It unlawful for boys nnd girls under 1 ycnni of ngo to he found In any place wher liquors arc mid , unless such boys nnd girl are accompanied by their parents , or unles they nro upon nn errand of business. The ) also recommend the closing of all billiard am pool rooms on Sunday. In the Interest .0 economy , the commissioners urge that the council place all of the license business of th city under the control of the Fire and Police Commission , with a police ofllcar to perform the duties of license Inspector. We here present comparative statements o the police departments of five cities of abou equal population to Omaha. You will note that the forca of the Omah department Is 50 per cent less than th average force employed by Denver , Kansa City , Louisville , St. Paul and Minneapolis that the annual expense for th& maintennnc of the departments of these six clt Ira , In eluding Omaha , shqws tha : the ex pcnso of maintaining' our department IsI1 per cent less than the average. For thl icason , nnd recognizing the fact that Omah : Is the gateway of the west , the central clt : of the United States in the line of travel accessible andllablc. , on account of Its proml nence and location of being Infested b ; crooks and criminals from all over thi world , we deem It inexpedient , even thougl the condition of our 'city's finances demand close economy , to reduce the police faro at present. Inexperienced In the work befor us , wo feeltli3 ( . < we should move1 cautious ) : Ir. ' this- matter ; certa'nly our citizens di not wish to lie subjected to the danger o an Invasion from" the criminal class becaust of the" well known advertised fact of thi weakness of our police force.Ve have fu'lj ' twenty-four square miles of territory ti guard , with only four mounted men and li all only ninety persons on the force , agalns ICC at Kansas CHy , with only fifteen squari miles of territory to protect. THE FIIIB DEPARTMENT. As for the lire department , the recordi for tbo past five years are evidence enougl that we should not weaken this force ; tt.a It should be. strengthened rather than weak encd. Omaha stands charged bthe Ir.rur anco companies with over $1,000,000 of lossei over premium receipts for the past five years We must have cheap Insurance to cnabli us to compete with neighboring cities , ant had It not been for the radical change In the flro department ono year ago , our rates here now would bo far in excess of anj city competing with us for business In th ( west , which would estop our wholesalers fron reaching out for trade In this territory. Thej or our packers cannot afford to do busi ness In Omaha at higher Insurance rate : than those charged In Kansas City , St. Jo seph , St. Paul or Minneapolis. The exacl statistics as to fire losses during the p ) l five years cannot be given by this depart ment for the reason that the records have not .been properly kept. 'The figures showr by the books are only a partial record. Then was no uystem In the matter of keeping records until the Installation of the now chief. Sufllco It to- say that we were over whelmed with losses , and our people were becoming frightfully discouraged over the destruction of property. Every dollar lar burned and not replacjd was Increas ing our taxes by the wiping out of taxable property. Last January the fire departmonl was reorganized and a now chief placcc' In command of same , and although It was agreed that he should have flvo steamen and 5,000 feet of new hose , and has beer provided with only four steamers and onlj 3,500 feet of new hose , the record of ME work Is so marvelous that wo take grcal pride In giving n synopsis of his report , and beg to call your rpeclil attention to hU recommendations , which have our approval , Note , pleat'O , that we are uliort on hoaa and that wo have today -but 4,194 feet of good rubber hose , 1,021 feet of fair rubber hose , G.2S2 feet of poor rubber hose , hardly one length of which can stand steam prosajro ; that wo have 3,675 feet of fair cotton hose nnd l.C'Jl ' feet of good ctton hose , irervlccnble during the summer months , but not during winter weather. Touching upon the subject of' ' the police and flro alarm system , the commissioners mention the fact that the equipment la somewhat out of date. While It cannot bo sold to advan tage , they ad > ocato continuing It In use and making come Improvements which will not cost a great amount of money , yet will enable - able the department to glvo much better service than now. Wo append herewith table showing a com parison between the Omaha fire department with that of Denver , Kansas City , Louisville , Minneapolis and St. Paul , from which It will ba observed that Louisville has 24,000 feet of hcse , Kansas City 2C.2BO feet , St. Paul 31,400 feet and Minneapolis 37,120 feet ; that the entire force of the Omaha flro de partment Is but 109 men , against * 140 for Kansau City , 114 for Louisville , 199 for St. Paul and 2GG for Minneapolis ; that the ex pense of maintaining our flro department la 40 per cent below the average of these cities , and the force 23 per cent less than the average S1 K 3 S > emus , : ?

FINEST BIRDS THAT CROW OR CLUCK rirnt ScMNlnit of he Slate Meeting In lldliril of Trail f HIHUIIN IjiiHt ' I'nitcrM mill There Is now In progress In Ihls city one of the largest , as well as one of the most valuable , exhibits of fancy poultry ever mailo In this country. The twelfth annual conven tion and exhibition of the Nebraska State Poultry association opened yesterday morning and will continue until Friday evening of this week. The meetings of the association are held It. the- Hoard of Trade rooms ami the exhibition of poultry Is at the. corner of Eleventh and Fnrnam t'treets. The exhibit occupies two largo store rooms , but the space Is entirely Inadequate for the needs of tlic occasion. The. largo coops containing the birds arc placed In double rows two cages high and fill every nook and corner of the rooms. The arrange ment Is neat and clean and presents n. very pleasing appearance. Kvery variety of Ilia standard lircods of chickens , turkcyy , ducks and geese Is In evidence. It will no doubt surprise most people to learn tlmt-non\c.of \ the , Imported chickens on exhibition arc valued at $300 each , but such IB the fact. Chickens valued at $25 or $50 each are plentiful , while the ordinary barnyard hen Is an unknown quantity. Among the cho'ccst varieties In.tlio exhibit are barred and white Plymouth Hocks , silver spangled Hamburg1 , Houdans , black and white Langshans , white crested , black , Polish , partridge cochins , white ana black cochins , silver , golden "ahd white Wyandottcs , and several kinds of bantams , while single and rose comb whlto and brown leghorns , buff and black leghorns , buff cochins and light and Oark bramahs are too numerous to mention. The game classes are well rep resented , several pens of Cornish ( English ) .games , pit games' , D. IJ. rod games and other varieties being noticed. Among the turkeys are the beautiful mammoth bronze and whlto Holland , as well as other rare breeds. There are a largo numbar of ducks of varlojs breeds as well as geese. The number of birds now on exhibition Is placed by Superintendent E. S. Jennings at about 1,900 , and many more are expected today , having been delayed In trans't. A con- wrvatlve estimate of the value of the birds on exhibition places the ilguro at about $20,000. The three Judges , .Messrs. F. H. Shcllen- barger of West Liberty , la. , w ; S. Kussell of Ottumwa , la. , and J. J. . Marshall of. Mld- dletown , 0. , have been very busy since the exhibition opened passing upon the qualifications of the birds and expect to com plete their work by Thursday afternoon , at which time the prizes will .be awarded. MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION. The opening i'ss"lon of the association was held at the Board of Trade rooms last night. The program as arranged at the suggestion of Secretary Utt of the Com mercial club Included addresses of welcome by Mayor Broatch and President Weller of the Commercial club , but after walt'.ng for these gentlemen nearly an hour the nle6t- Ing went ahead without an address of wel come. President Lewclllng called the convention to order and Introduced. I. L. Lyman of Lincoln , who read a paper on'Farm Poul try In Nebraska. " Ho raid that the poul try Industry was generally regarded as In significant and not .wprthy of the attent'on of any except wcmen and children , but he named many men yto\\ \ \ known in public life who spend their leisure hours In breeding and raising standard poultry. The demand for thoroughbred stock was rapidly Increas ing among farmers , ho said , It being recog nized that It'pald better to ralee the stand ard breeds than to bather with the common sorts. The buyers for- shippers were con stantly on the lookout for the higher grades of stock and paid higher prices for' these varieties. The speaker took , , the.sHIon . that the ma'.n reliance of the breeder-should be In eggs and he entered. , into a. careful anilyals to show the average yearly profit on hens when properly cared for. He fol. lowed this by a number of practical sug' gcstlcns as to tho'best manner of feedliij and keeping poultry In order to secure tin largest profit. The reading of the paper was followed bj an animated discussion of the polnta broiigh' ' out and wasi participated In by several o the members of the association. The all was full of points about the best feed , tin kind of chicken house which , protected the flocks the best , the advantages of feed' Ing warm feed and water , the use of etiairec corn to provide the soda required , , by the hot for the shell , and i4mllar points. President LewelUng , who lives , nt Beavei City , In the western end of the state , said that poultry raising was fast becoming om of the principal Industries in his section. Tht tanners had come to realize that the hen wai a source of Income .which , .could be depended on as long as she was properly fed. Tin people -were gaining knowledge-of poultry and were demanding the better breeds Fancy poultry , he said-pears the pime rela ' tion to the ordinary. Kind , that a yjell , brci' liorso bears to the plug ; there was no dlf. fcreoco in the cost , of keeping , while * thc profit was very much greater. This faci was dawning upon the people and'as a resull now association ! ) of poultry fanciers were springing up nil over lha ftato and the bene fit to the state aV largq. would be .very great. IMPORTANCE OF THE HEN. Following this discussion , Rev. L. P. laid- don , who announced himself as a lover ol fine chickens as well as a breeder and raiser , although not an exhibitor , road a paper on 'Poultry In General. " Mr. Ludden's paper was full of moat and commanded close at- ; entlon. Ho said that few people grasped .ho magnitude of the poultry Industry In tbla country. Sixteen years ago the poultry raisers of Nebraska formed a state aesoclu- Ion and held their flrt exhibition. The work iad progressed rapidly and now poultry shows were held all over the state. No- ir.ielta was the first state In the United States to hold a state convention. This stite had been very active In pushing the poultry Industry to the front. The attention of the Agricultural department had been called to this matter through the efforts of s'obraslia , and It had been urged to Include statistics about poultry In the annual reports of the department. Two years ago , the speaker said , Secretary Morton made a writ- en promU > o to have this matter Included In ho next report , but the speaker produced a copy of the report for 1891 in proof of ila statement that not a word on the sub- ect of chickens was contained therein. Ho called attention to the fact .that there were overal pages devoted to a learned discussion of "The Crow , and His Relations to tlio "armor. " The speaker said If politic : were lot tabooed in the convention he might how how Important this article was. Getting down to figures , Mr , Ludden said t was the general Impression that the poul- ry Industry did not amount to much , but 10 aald ho was of the opinion that the peo- > lo who held such an Idea did not know that he rpg Industry of this country amounted o 2,000,000,000 dozen of eggs each year. The egg business was not so small as the Ironer or wool Industry , ho said ; In dollars and ents It surpassed the hay Industry. There ruro 350,000,000 clllckens consumed In this ountry each year ; the eggs and poultry consumed In thu > country amounted to 000,000,000 annually , not Including the argu amount for homo Riid farm csnsump- Ion , The speaker raid that Nebraska was the oremost state In the- union In bringing tbo poultry Industry to the front ami It held ihows which were open to the world. Ne braska , the speaker said , had gone ( o the mldcontlnrntal chow at Kansls City last ear and this year and bad carried off all ha best prizes. The Nebraska association ncluJtd among Its members some , of the breedera of the prize winners of the un'on nd ttioso who exhibited at the Nebraska how knew that they must meet these birds n competition , The result was that the hews held by the Nebraska association vere among the- very finest to be seen on his continent. PROGRAM FOR TONIGHT , Follow'ng the reidlng of this paper was small amcunt of routine business and he meeting then adjourned until this cven- ng , when the following program will bo carried out : Paper bf-tfco rlco president o the assoc'ntlon , R II.

The place ct exhibition , they claim , IB entirely too small and many minor details have net been carried out as agreed upon , Amoni other things , they say It was agreed tha two reliable watchmen should bo provldei to guard the valuable exhibit at n'ght. Lis night , they say , the only man who appearei was a colored man who sought a warm corner at the first opportunity and went to sloop.

Scores of women In Omaha are today wear ing dresses of fashionable color that would have been thrown aside long ago had It not been for Diamond Dyes. With a ten cent package of these simple home dyes , oven the ncvlco can dye a fast and beautiful color equal to the work of the professional dye hcuse. Cloaks , capes and shawls are readily dyed , to that a faded garment will look as though It was right from the shop. Out of the fifty different kinds of Diamond Dyes , 12 are special fast colors for cotton and mixed goods , that Will not crock or fade , even when washed In strong soapsuds.
