Records on flic In the olllce of the city
clerk show that $1,200.30 has been expended
by the administration now In power for
printing and stationery since the middle
of April of the present year.
In a mini lie u of Instances the bills on flic
are not Itemized as Is customary. One bill
for printing1 and stationery , which was paid
December 1 , Is as follows : Ordinance ,
$3.50 ; letter heads , $7.50 ; roll call , $4 ; mo
tion blanks , $ C ; account statements , $12 ;
envelopes , No. 10 , $5 ; envelopes , No. U ,
$3.CO ; total. $11.50. From the bill It can
not bo told how many motion blanks , roll
calls or account statements were ordered
printed , ns the order docs not accompany
the bill. Of the articles mentioned In this
bill , which has already been paid , there has
been delivered the following : Five hun
dred letter heads , 500 roll calls , 500 mo
tion blanks , one box of envelopes to the city
engineer and one box of envelopes to the
city treasurer.
Only a short tlmo ago the building In-
pector ordered n lot of blanks printed at n
cost to the taxpayers of ? 5i ( , and It was
asserted at the tlmo this bill was allowed
that the Inspector would not have use for
some of the blanks printed once a year.
Hy a resolution which was offered by
Caldwell and passed by the council Septem
ber K the ordering of printing was virtually
taken out of the hands of the council com-
mltteo on printing and given to the flmuice
committee. The resolution Is as follows :
"That nil orders for printing for the city
of South Omaha bo O. K.d by the mayor be
fore1 the work ppeclflcd In such orders Is
executed and that the finance committee
be Instructed not to consider any bills for
printing unless the order for the same has
been O. K.d by the mayor. " The finance
committee Is composed of Messrs. Mul-
laly , Caldwell and Hughes and the
printing committee Is made up of Councilmen -
men Hyland , Mullaly nnd Vansant.
Exorbitant charges In the matter of city
printing have suggested the idea to one of
the city olllclals of advertising for bids for
printing nnd letting the contract to the
lowest responsible bidder. H Is asserted
that by doing this a large sum of money
could bo saved each year.

The Installation of the newly elected onv
ccrs of the Nebraska division of the League
of American Wheelmen occurred last even
ing under the most favorable auspices. The
occasion was celebrated by an elaborate
banijuct and n fetal of cycling reason nl
the Ucllone hotel , and from 10 o'clock until
2 this morning there was n merry tlmo foi
the Omahana who are connected with tin
great national organization of cyclers.
An extended menu of delicate dishes hru
been prepared and was served from ele
gantly appointed tables. I'nlms and pink
roses formed the principal floral decora-
tlons , which were tastefully arranged nroinu'
the banquet board.
The new consul of the Nebraska division
David J. O'Urlcn , called the assemblage tc
order after the last course had been dis
posed of and the cigars lighted , and with a
few timely words of Introduction presented
A. R. Edmlston of Lincoln , the retiring
consul. The latter briefly reviewed what
had been done In Nebraska by the League
of American Wheelmen during the year past ,
calling especial attention to the first circuit
meet ever held. Ho regretted that a greater
advance had not been made by the state di
vision during 1890. In his opinion the further
success of the order ; depended more on holdIng -
Ing the present members rather than In ob
taining new ones. Had all the rldcra who
had belonged to the league continued their
membership the state roll would now be
lengthened to considerably moro than 1,000
names.
Secretary McCall was the next speaker ,
and In his address emphasized the point that
It was not the year 189G that was. to bo con
sidered , but the year 1897. He hoped all
would unite to pull together for the success
of the Nebraska division during the coming
year.
Vice-Consul Eldredgo of York said that
all his experience In league matters had
been In connection with races , and he gave
some valuable pointers on the best means
of conducting these. Secretary-elect Peace
of Fremont was called for , but pleaded
as an excuse that he had walked In from
Fremont and had lost his voice In the
shuflle. He rend n letter from , the Missouri
consul , a letter that abounded In much in
formation for league members.
Consul-elect O'Urlcn received a rousing
reception when he was Introduced by the
retiring con nil. Ho said that Omaha must
have the state meet next season , and the
national meet In the following year. He
believed , these could bo obtained If every
body pulled together. The best card for
Omaha was to take good care of Its visiting
cyclists , and be sure that their reception
at the state meet next year would be moat
cordial. This feature would bo made prom
inent nt the expense of everything else , If
necessary. He could not sec why anyone
should have any trouble In getting new
members for the league. He secured forty-
two In three days , and didn't half work.
Auditor Anderson of the Union Pacific
made a happy little speech that abounded
In cycling witticisms. Ho testified to the
good obtnlned from the league , especially
from Us publications. Ho had purchased
every wheeling novelty advertised In It , and
had become known In the railroad headquar
ters as the "wheeling museum. " He was
confident there would be fewer"mud' ' puddles
and better paved streets. If the wheelmen
banded together to secure these desirable'ob
jects.
A. D. Fcttcrman spoke about the desira
bility of getting a good , healthy graft In on
the legislature. He favored the passage of a
bill prohibiting any charge for the trans
portation of wheels and legislation for good
roads. L. J. Oilier of Chicago testified to
the good done by the league throughout the
country , and was followed In the same strain
by Dr. Glcason. M. 0. Daxon emphasized
the Importance of the social side of cycling
clubs.
Ira O.Rhoadcs made the hit of the evening
when ho took up the subject of Improve
ments to the streets of Omaha and to the
surrounding country roads before the ex
position year. Ho knew that a majority of
the city council and of the county com
missioners were In accord with a movement
for Improvement In this direction , and urged
all wheelmen In the city to band together
to secure this desideratum. A. J. Grover
and J. Harry Minds followed In the same
strain and their remarks were heartily re
ceived.
A resolution of thanks to the local prees
for Its support of cycling Interests was
unanimously adopted. The banqueters were
Invited to be present at the rooms of the
Turners' Wheel club this afternoon for a
social session , and the first banquet of the
Nebraska division of the national league
was a thine of the past.

2 AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY ,
Where shall the amateur photographer
point bis camera now that summer and au
tumn have passed away , with all the beau
ties of nature which , with Its green and
other colored foliage , adds so much to the
beauty of the landscape and catches the
attention of the amateur with his camera ?
Now that winter has come ho Is at a lajs
to know where to get a picture or how to
put In his tlmo. Of course , there can bo
many artistic pictures made In the winter ,
especially when there Is snow on the trees
or ground or early In the morning after it
heavy frost , an Ice scene on water and many
other things too numerous to mention.
One of the features In photography which
ought to Interest the amateur this tlmo a
year Is lantern slide making. Now that thu
summer's work has been done , plates de
veloped and prints made , there Is nothing
moro beautiful and which gives more satis
faction to the amateur than when ho can
Invite hf.i friends to his homo and give them
an evening's entertainment by throwing
upon n largo canvas with a magic lantern
all the choicest pictures ho made In the
year that has passed , To make lantern
slides In simplicity Itself , for nothing has
contributed more to the ease of slide making
or to' the perfection of resulta obtainable
than the new Improved bromide lantern
slldo platen. Few amateurs had the courage
to attempt slide making with wet plates ,
but now they are all Interested , because
they can buy the plates ready prepared. Tbo
size of these plates Is 314x4 Inches , They
are iiiado In two ways. Ono of the simplest
Is , If your negative Is small enough , to put
the negative In a printing frame back out ;
then place the slide plate face down upon
It the same aa you would a piece of paper
wlicn printing , only this must bo done In
the dark room ; then expose It to a gas Jot
about llvo to ten seconds , according to the
density of the negative , holding It about
two fcot from the light. If an ordinary
lump Is used the exposure should be about
twice as long , Then develop In the formula
glvon below. In cnao the nciatlve > from
which you want to make a lantern slide Is
larger than you want It > ou can make a
poult I vo from It by putting the lantern slldo
nl-.to In your regular camera holder ; t'-en '
place the ncpullvu which your wish to co ; v
In the end of an old camera or any box

by foctulng you can get It any size you
