VICTOHY GOES WITH Tilt : MtJI.S. Contractor JCIINIMI Fined for Crut-lty tl > AllIllllllN. A goodly portion of the time of the police court waa taken up yesterday with the trial of C. A. Jensen , who was arrested nt the Instance of Alfred Mlllard of the humane scclcty for ill treating n mule. Against Mlllardcro arrayed many witnesses , In cluding Jcnsn , Chairman Munra of the Hoard of Public works , Dr. Ayers , a veter inary physician , and a line of horsemen , but Mlllatd nevertheless succeeded in secur ing a conviction. Jensen is the- contractor who Is excavating the ground at Eighteenth and Farnam Btieot for the flajs that are to be erected there. He has a number of grading teams nt work , ono of them being a pair of mules. Ono mule , a white one , was the animal which appealed to justice through Mr. Mlllard. Mlllard testified that while passing the excavation one day ho noticed a raw wound under a huge leather collar which covered the neck of the animal. He at once made an Investigation and upon lifting the collar , foi'iul a sore the size of Ills two hands. The nnlinnl was evidently In pain , for It Dlirunk away as lid touched the spot. The collar Itself was covered with pus from the wound. To controvert this testimony all of Jensen's witnesses swore that the animal was having a good time with the leather collar on Its neck , and rather enjoyed having the sore. They said that the mule did not feel any pain on account of the big collar , although a strap pawed over It evidently pressing It into the wound. They also testified that the sore uculd bo lienloj more quickly If the animal was at work and had the collar around Its neck , because the wound would become calloused In that way. If tlio animal rcmalne.t in the stable , they stated that the sere Would always remain tender. Thorp was nlRO some dispute nbcut the i > lzo of tlie sore. .Mlllard said It was as big an his two bands , but sonic of the witnesses for the defpiito stated tint there was only a Bore circle about the wound , the center liolng healed. Only one , however , thought that tlio animal experienced any pain , The others hellevod that the animal rather enjoyed - joyed having a coarse piece of leather chaff ing against a raw wound than otherwise. Judge. Gordon , however , eald that the anomaly was presented by tlio defense that while , the animal worked , the sore became licnled , and while. It rented the sere became we me. Ho stated that ho had too much knowledge of the anatomy of a mule and his ncrnialntnnco with the animal was too great to allow htm to shallow anything llko that. Hu thought the mule ought to bo boarded out for a while before II wan put to work. Jonten waa found guilty cf abusing thr ntmal Inhumanly and given the lowest fen- tonco possible , $5 and costs. The case will bo appealed to the district court.

There was considerable passenger traffic yes terday frcm Nebraska points to Texas over the local roads connecting with the Santa Fo Bj-Btem. This Is due to the excursion rate offered to points in Texas. Hound trip tick ets are sold for ono faro , plus ? 2 , the lat ter being payable at the other end. The next excursion will occur on March 10. As the western roads have recently agreed to the same rate for excursions of homo seekers to points In Nebraska and Kansas , which are at least 100 miles west of the- Missouri river , it Is thought the one excursion will even up the effect ot the other. Said a railroad man this morning , "I do not believe these excursions will Injure any community. It's good railroading to trans port the people whenever they want to travel. The majority of theoo people who take advantage of the low rate to Texas will return , while many of these who come Into western Nebraska and Kansas on the honiessekers' excursion will remain hero.

The action of the Hoard of Flro and Police Commissioner * In retiring George Csullcr on a pension of $25 a month rat'ca a question as to whether Coulter's pension Is comtcmplatcd by the law under which pensions to members of the fire department are provided for. Sec tion 1 , cf ssnato flic No. 121 , which was passed by the last Icg'slature , provides : "That all metropolitan cities and cities of the first class having a paid fire department shall ponyion all firemen of the paid fire de partment whenever such fireman shall have firet wrved In such flro department for a period of twenty-one years , and shall elect to rotlro from actlvo service- and go on the re tired list. Such pension shall be paid by the city In the same manner ns Dromon upon the actlvo lU't are paid , and such pension shall bo 25 per cent of the amount of salary ouch retiring fireman shall be receiving at the tlmo that ho goes upon such pension list. " TIio-ndmlttcil purpose of the law was to provide a reward for flremen who had spent the most actlvo part of their lives In the service of the city , and had risked their health and lives continually for the protec tion of life and property. Whether Coulter wa-i a fireman within the contemplation of the law , Is a question that seems to have been decided In the affirmative by the board , but which Is disputed by legal authorities. Coulter JolneJ the Omaha fire department In March , 1S73 , and has therefore been a member of the department for nearly twenty- three years. But It was only during the first fourteen years of thin period that he was an active member of the fire lighting force , and at no tlmo did he occupy a posi tion In which either his health or bones wcro endangered. He was driver until 1878 , when ho became the stoker of an engine. In 18SO ho was made engineer , and continued to hold that posi tion until .1887 , when he was made su perintendent of the flro and police alarm sys tem. It Is questioned whether since 1887 he has been a fireman In the sense of the stat ute , and those who are disposed to criticise the action of the board Insist that the pen sioning of Coulter was only a scheme to get him out of the way In order that the place might bo given to the son of Commissioner Vandervocrt. It Is a peculiar feature that Coulter's pen sion la larger than that of Jack Galilean who served the city as a fire fighter for a quarter of a century and ruined his health In the service. At the tlmo when Gnlllgan was retired on a pension he vas acting as flro Inspector nt a salary of $1,000 a year. His pension was fixed at 25 per cent of thai amount. Consequently , Coulter draws n larger pension than the veteran. This Is not regarded as fair treatment by some ol Galllgan's fr'ends , who Insist that If any distinction was to bo shown Galilean la cer tainly entitled to the larger pension. IIAYDKV 11UOS.

The grocery utoro of Bishop & Osbrn , nt Military avenue and Burdetto street , was en tered Monday night and several dollars worth of goods carrleJ off. Entrance was effected through a rear door , a largo liolo having been made In onu of the panels and a bar , which hold the uoor , lifted from its place. A very unsociable dog was loose in the store , and yesterday It showed no clgns of having iieon molested In any way , The dog has ; orn the clothes of every ono who came within Ills reach and was not Inclined to bo friendly , and the fact that it had not interfered with the robbers lends color to the suspicion that they were friends cf the beast. The articles taken consisted of a sack containing 100 pounds of granulated sugar , about fifty pack ages of Arbucklo'u coffee , several cans of pre served fruit , peaches , grapes , etc. , several pounds of candy , a box of cigars and a carton of cigarettes. The thieves were dlsirlmlnat- Ing In their cho'co of cigars ; all the cheap cigars were taken from the case. In order to get at the 10-cent gotls , which were In the Front of the cape , and tbo bst only wcro taken. The gasoline street lamp In front of the stcro was broken and the light extinguished , so that tbe thieves must have worked In tbo dark. It was evident that they were familiar with the arrangement of the etore. as noth ing was disturbed or disarranged. There are several things Indicating that the work was that of boys , and the perpetrators are tuu- pectod , A close watch Is being kept on their movements and teveral arrests are expected within a day or two. 1'uiicral of 'A.

ERZO are spelling lower than ever before at this D agjn of the year In this and all other markets. There- have been times when the market has touched as low a point in February , but quirk and sharp advances have Invariably resulted from the increased consumption. This year the market broke In January and Instead of recovering It hap remained down ever since. At the present time eggs can be purchased In this market at 12V6 cents , and even lower , which makes them the cheapest article In the way of fold on the market , The open winter has made the production very heavy and the receipts have been very largo at all market points. The most pe culiar feature of the situation Is that the low prices have not apparently Increased the consumption , which Is the lightest that It has been In years. Eggs enough arc received In this market every day to supply the local demand for a week , and if it were not for the shippers , who keep stocks cleaned up , receivers here would soon be swampej. Local dealers are at a loss to account for the light consumption here , as It was gen erally supposed that people were practicing considerable economy In the matter of pur chases and would naturally be Inclined toward anything as cheap and good as eggs. The cold storage eggs In this Iccallty have all been sold for some time , so that the stock on the market at tbo prcwnt time Is all fresh laid. CANDIDATE ! FOR IlEFOHM SCHOOL.

ICASI'AIl SUGGESTS A NEW PLAN Street Sweepers from I.lwlN Furnlxlieil liy Coiiiieilinell. The Board of Public Works held a shor session yesterday aftcrnocn , at which some routine business was transacted and one or two matters relating to the labor complica tions In the street department disposed of A letter from Organizer Waller was placed on file. A perusal of the resolution by Coun cilman Allan on the strength of which work was begun en the streets , disclosed that llr Waller was far out of the way In his idea cf the action that had been taken by the council. The resolution simply provided that the board should expend $18,000 on the streets during 189C and that street cleaning should be begun at once. Mr. Wallor'o Interpreta tion of the resolution wao Included in hU letter to Mr. Kaspar , which was : Yours of the 10th received. In reply I wIMi to advise you of rm error. The city council , at the request of a committee from Labor temple , made an appropriation ol } 9,009 , to be turned over to the Hoard of Public Works for the puipose of the un employed men In want to work upon the streets at a certain rate of wages. This n.oney was not appropriated to bo spcnl by the commissioners or by the board jusl as they might choose to spend It , but rather as the council ordered It , to employ men In certain conditions. The board authorize , ! me to make this list , I believe , by icnson of my position In Labor temple. Now then , t propose to perform my duty In the In terests of these men for whom this levy was made , and 1 will furnish my list ol rren , ap I have In the past , and will attend the tool house to fee that the wlPh of the commissioners anil board Is carried out. Furthermore , If you proceed to employ men who do not come under the designation of the council as parties to be employed from this fund , I will take legal steps to recover for the men entitled to it from your board whatever amount of this money you spend without authority and In violation of In structions. The board then approved the following communication to the council , which wan left to bo signed by Commissioner Kaspar , who was not present at the meeting : To the Honorable City Council : It seem ing to be the intention of the members of your honorable body and tbo desire of the peope : of our city that employment. Imme diately be given In cleaning streets to de serving1 citizens , I doslro to offer a sugges tion In this connection. The members of the Hoard of Public Works have endeavored to furnish such employment to worthy citi zens , and In seeking to honestly carry out the desires of the board In the matter I have met with unprovoked antagonism and been subjected to dictation nt the hands of self-constituted guaidlans ( ? ) of the Interests of the worklngmcn. This self- Imposed guardianship on .tho part of Im ported ngltntors I regard as Inimical to the Interests of these worthy of employment , and after deliberate abuse of privileges granted to these pelf-styled leaders , I was compelled to deny them more. My only purpose has been to provide em ployment to deserving men with families to support , and that this may be buccesp- fully accomplished I would suggest Hint the members of the couiicil provide a list of worthy married men from each ward who are out of employment.

Waller anil His Ailvlee The street labor situation adjusted Itbelf without dllllculty yesterday , with the Hoard of Public Works on top. According to Its declared Intentions , Labor Organizer Waller an.d his coadjutors were given the cold shoulder and Street Commissioner Kaspar used his own Judgment in selecting the men to ba employed. Seventeen men were set at work on Sixteenth and Farnain streets. A few of them were men who worked sixteen hours last week. They will be replaced by new men today. Notwithstanding the warning from the board , Waller was at the tool house In the morning , but refrained from taking any part In the proceedings. One of his friends approached preached the street commissioner with a paper on which wcro the names of men whom he was told to put to work. Kaspar replied that ne had no business with Waller and would be able to do his work without any cf his assistant , Kaspar says that some of tlio new men employed yesterday are on the list recommended by Waller , wl'llo others ale not. Ho selected them all from the applicants around the tool house and lie says that the only difference between the board and Waller Is that the board prcpos.cs that the fact that a man has not walked up and paid a fee to Waller's organ ization shall not prohibit him from working on the streets , QUITE THE THING SOCIALLY to have It known you are going east via THE NORTHWESTERN LINE , OMAHA- CHICAGO SPECIAL.

It pays us better to sacrifice what there is left and begin every season with new goods. We have in every department something which must ffl bcc oscdout and in this case cost or value is not constderr. The open winter left too many u'sters and over" coats on our hands. We have two lines of ulsters on which we have made a deep cut. O.i2 is a good black Frieze with cassirnere lining which sold all season for $7.50 , we offer now at $5. The other an excellent Shetland of dark mixed shades , lined with good cas- simere and well gotten up , we offer now for $6. This garment is worth fully $10 , even now. The deepest cut is naturally made on the finest overcoats. The cheap and medium grades are nearly sold out but what we have left of our finest kersey overcoats have been marked down to prices at which we formerly sold the cheaper qualities , and if you can find your size you will get a bargain as is a bargain.

Passoth has gone Into court to get even with Frank R. Slltz , who. he claims , took advantage of his youth and Innocence in a land deal.

The own referred to consisted of n solitary iout'8 , occupied by a solitary man , and tbo nearest bona fldo town was fifteen miles away. He returned to Omaha and wanted to rado back , but Slltz did not appreciate the orce of bin arguments , and retimed to ro- onslder. Passoth concluded to appeal to the ourts , and asks that tlio deed to his prop- rty In Omaha bo set asldo , and the prop- rty restored to him. K for MlHNllIK OlK'H. Mrs. J. McNcal of Buffalo , N.
