WJekhaa yertortay to aoccmpanj hitav lils new cravtfl pits north of Big lake lor tltc purpose of aitcertaining whethei or not the offer he made to furnish the city free all the gravel required lor making t new covering for Broadway was worthy ol oeunlderation. What the aldermen found seemo * to more than satisfy their expecta tions , end they put in all of the remlndw of the day talking about the rplettdld o ei Mr. Wlckham bed made to the city. The "bank lies alongside of the Northwest ern railway tracks , and the gravel deposit reaches to the railway grade. Overlying tht gravi-1 bed is a deposit of sand about fortj feet thick This ha been removed , until i npace of more than an acre has been cleared oE. The deposit is of unknown depth. A two-inch prelecting augur wns used .some- liuicb In an effort to a ccrtaln the depth. It WDB sent down a distance ol sixty feet and wis rtlll encountering coarse sand and gravel. The surface of the bank now Ii about twenty feet above the level of tht railway trucks. A t witch could be put in ot the grade level anfl an apron or trestle built to load the cars below by the use oi wheel scrapers. This would reduce the cost of the gravrf very materially. Mr. Wick- hain't object In making the offer to the cit ? to furnish all the gravel needed to makt Broadway n permanent street is , according to his own statement , to secure trackage a1 the pit and open up the gravel deposits. The offer is so Important and generous thai there is no question about its acceptance bj the city. The more the aldermen eonslda the fact the more they are entranced witl the idee that In it Is to be found the solutlot of the paving problem of the future , Tbt belief is that with the -proper mixture o ! gumbo earth a coating of several inches ova all of the old cedar blocks will make streets that will he more satisfactory for all kindi of traffic than "brick or granite pavement The blocks will make a good under-drainage and as they rot away the little incqualitiei left In the surface can be filled with mort gravel. It will take several years to brinj the streets into the best possible condition It will make a street covering that will bt faultier for driving in all kinds of weathei and yet firm enough to resist the wear o ! the heaviest traffic. When packed ant smoothed it will make a bicycle path supe rior even to asphalt. The other committees appointed at the spe cial meeting of tLe .council on Monday nighi have taken up their work , and It is certair that they will be ready to report at thi next meeting of the council. The aldermei are anxious to "begin the work as soon ai possible , to make It certain that the tared will be In first class condition by the tiint the exposition opens.

An alarm was turned In anc the fire department called out and tb < dangerous wire pushed back from the wall The Iron front of the building and the meta ! grating on the pavement carried ne.arly th < full .force of the alternating current foi nearly half an hour , and many people whi happened to step on the grating walkec pigeon-toed and yelled with surprise whei the current shot up through their damj shoe noles.

The firs touch of the foot to the metal gave a shod that produced an interesting exclamation and the surprised individual would lool around to see who it was that hit him. Ai long as hoth feet were on the metal plati no shock would be felt , but -when hi stepped off the most staid and sober citize : never failed to perform antics that set thi crowd wild with delight. When some un conscious citizen hurrying home through thi storm would start to pass the building -will one foot striking the metal and the othc ; the damp pavement his gymnastics would a ] most create a riot.

He promises to entirely die prove the assertion that there hat been i conrtant depression of the value of farn products , measured by cold , since the de monetization of 1K7" . "Taking the twelve rears from 1PG1 ti 1ST3 , " said Mr. Roberts , "ye have a j > crloi in which , if ever , prices of form proflucti ought to bo high. That period include ! three great wars , our own civil struggle , am the wars between Germany and Austria am Germany and rronce. And all this wai before the demonetization of silver in 1ST" Then taking a period of twelve years fron 1B79 to 3FH2. utter the demonetization o silver , and without the conditions that hai existed in the former period , calculated ti increase prices artificially , and we find b ; comparison of the prices that were actual ! ; paid for farm products In Iowa markets , m shown hy the market reports of Iowa news papers , that there was a remarkahle formity of prices during the two periods The argument of depreciation of values , ai measured by gold , is completely dcmol ished. This is the way the silver men xnal ; their argument on this point : They tab prices in London , Liverpool or Hamburg and find that they have been , greatly re duced. They measure our .own products b ; the foreign market. In l Cl lt , cost abou Jl to transport a bushel ol ieat to one o those markets. Today it" costs about S cents. The price there has ieen reduce ! in this proportion ; but thciharc which th American raiser of wheat has in its valu has not fallen in this decree. The fal way is to measure values "bythe market of our own state , 10 which the farmer haul his products. What does ho .care lor price In Liverpool , if those in his Jiome marke .are all right. TVe will prove that in th markets of Iowa towns there his been.n depreciation , tailing the second period' twelve years tnd comparing It with th first. Since 1B92 there nas been a de presslon , of course- The republican posl lion is that it has been' caused by th tariff and other matters , foreign to th money question. I thall net go into" th tariff question In my wort , , however. 1 will -dead simply with tie prices of farr products. "While Itvil be shown tha the prices received "by the farmer lave no depreciated , it Is true , that the cofct c things wnich the farmer buys have liee : down constantly.

The city ordinance , passed some time ago. compelling the Omaha Street Railway company to replace all -wooden poles in the city with ornamental Iron ones , be came a law yesterday. The com pany hts slsrty days within which to comply with the provisions of the or dinance. At a conference held between the street car officials and some of the city of ficials some time ago it was stated by the representatives of the company that they were willing to replace the wooden poles with Iron ones ns fast as the -wooden poles rotted out. In that way Iron polcE would be substituted gradually and at less cost to the company. The council , however , pro ceeded to force the matter In the hopes that such legislation would bring the com pany to time and compel the building of the loop around Thirty-third street. An official cif the city said yesterday in speaking about this ordinance : "There was no public clamor for Iron poles and the patrons of the roud will not receive a par ticle of benefit from the change. The re sult of such ordinances will be that the company will appeal to the courts and the matter will be tied tip for two or three years. It is an unnecessary expense to nsk the company to go to , especially at this time , when we ore asking the company to build the loop and also to extend Its line to Port Crook. 1 fear now that tbe building of either line IB out of the question. Not long ago representatives the street car company called at the mayor's office to talk the matter over. At that meeting the com pany appeared willing to construct the loop If the people wanted it , and suggested a meeting between the members of the coun cil , the managers of the packing bouses In terested , and representatives of tbe com pany. Such a meeting las bee.n postponed until Mr. Cudahy returned from the east. He came home Monday , but now since this ordinance has been allowed to go into ef fect , it is doubtful if such a meeting will ever be held. The company thought 'favor ' ably toward the Fort Crook line. Such u road would have brought this city in hun dreds of dollars In the course of a year , but with the opposition to the company mani fested by the city council , the chances ore that the southsiders will get the line out Thirteenth street and South Omaha will hardly know that there IE a garrison of United States troops within a few miles 6f the city. " > for n Forfeited Chrck. City Atlorney Montgomery Is looking ur the claim of Contractor Campbell of Coun cil BluCs , who has just sued the city foi ? 3uO. "When bids for the viaduct repair ! were first advertised for Campbell put in I bid which was accepted. "With his bid hf sent a certified check for the umount suei for. After the contract nad been flrswi Campbell -was sent for , Irut refused to slgi it , as pay for the work was to come oul of a fund assessed against the railroads Campbell did not like the chances of get ting his money , and said he would re pudiate tie contract unless the city woulc guarantee the cost of the repairs. This thi city refused to do at that time , and Camp bell's money was declared forfeited and wai turned into the city treasury. tr n Veto. In response tourgent petitions the -cltj council at its last meeting ordered electrii street lights placed at Eighteenth and "tt and Seventeenth and M streets. There ii no money in the lighting fund to pay for thi forty odd lights now in service and noi long ago the maj-or gave it out that then would be no more electric lights ordered until there was money in the fund to pnj for the same. These two lights , which wer < ordered Monday night , were not considered when the yearly apportionment of the levj was made and as the mayor says ne is ii earnest about vetoing such resolutions thi chances for the lights being put in ar < slim. _ .Volhlntr Xrw In Pontnl Mntteri. . Nothing new in regard to the discontinu ance of the street car mail service is knowi here. Postmaster McMillan expects n tele gram from the department today in regard to a temporary contract with the street cai people It seems as though the businesi men here had done all they possibly could "to have the present service continued , ant it will be a hard , blow to the business in terests if the old system of wagon servici goes Into effect again. South Omaha mer chants had nopes that Congressman Mcrcei could do something to prevent the change but it appears that he has not been able tc make any satisfactory arrangements. I'u l"p tlif Price of Coiil. The local coal dealers , who have an organ ization of their own. are preparing to fal' into line and adopt the schedule of pricei adopted by the Omaha coal dealers.

It is predicted here that th < price of anthracite will go higher before th < season is upon us. LcK-ntliiK the II > druntfc.

Tt ( city clerk haa looked through nearly all o the papers in his office and has not ye found the missing document. UUK * lo Ie Shot. It is expected that within a few day the mayor "will order the policemen to shoo all untcgged dogs. There Is no money ii the dog fund to pay the poundmaster fo such work , tnd the city cannot afford t appropriate money from any other fund fo that purpose. The mayor thinks the pollc can do the work without Interfering witl their other duties and with little or no cus to the city. T fntj--Fo rlh.
