At the next meeting of the city council n onimunlcntion from the Public Library ioar < j will bo presented , asking for a levy f 1 mill for the support of the library dur- ig the ensuing year. This was agreed upon t the last meeting of the board. In sup- ort of the position the following statement , Igned by the president and secretary of the oard , will bo presented for the consldera- lon of the members of the city council : The reduced levy for last year , threo- ourths of a mill , Instead of 1 mill , as asked or , WIIH not snlilclent to carry out the 'Inns ' of the board , nnd the usefulness of ho library thereby greatly hampered. New books nre the very life blood of such n Institution us this , nna failure to sup- > ly tlio people with them means n very erlous impairment of the function nnd iiirposo for which the- library wau Instl- uted.

This enforced economy , If ontlnued , will unquestionably lower the rovlous high standard of the public library nd obstruct the main purpose of Its ux- Ucnco , immely , n means of education for IIP. people. The ostlmntes for the ensuing year , sub lilted herewith , are In our Judgment fair nd reasonable , and the amount asked for t no moro tlran sulllclent to enable us to onduet the library upon n very e-conoml- al basli ; to purchase necessary books and o give the people the service which they re entitled to receive , .

Pete Murphy , Implicated'In the killing of Joe Collins at Mctz hall last Saturday night , was arrested yesterday nt the corner of Thlr- leenlh and Jackson streets. He was ap- proaclie.1 by detectives from the rear and placed under arrest before he formed any Idea of escape. On the way to the Jail the officers charged him wllh Ihe 'theft of Charles Mallan's gloves In Hcdgren's saloon. The stealing of the glove's formed the basis of the trouble which led to Joe Collins' death'at the hands of Mallan. Murphy was loud In his protes- tallons of Innocence , but was badly scared , and hud been looked up nt the station but a short time before he sent word lo Ihe officers that he wished to make n clean breast of It. He nrserted that he and the three Collins uoya were In Iledgren's saloon when Mallan sntcred. Mallan slood by Iho stove. Joa and Jim Collins walked over and slood almosl against him. In a few minutes both came back to the bar , nnd one of the boys , Mur phy says he docs not know which , handad film the gloves and lold him lo sell them. As soon as Mallan ascertained his loss , he ivalked over to Joe Collins and accused aim of the theft. It was denied , but no trouble ensued , and Mnllan left the saloon shortly afterward. Murphy says ho went ici'osa the street to another saloon nnd tried to dispose of Iho gloves. Ho was uol suc- : ec8ful. Murphy's lesllmony at this polni Jecame evasive. Ho svsserls that he does not tnow what became of the gloves , but Is of : ho opinion thai he must have lost them , or ; Iso have given them lo ellhor Joe or Tom Collins. Collins.SAW SAW COLLINS STRUCK FIRST. That the gloves were sold Iheio Is now Ittle doubt , for the poflco have ns yet been mable to locate them. The statement of fohn W. Hroch , proprietor of Metz hall , Is mportanl upon this point. Ho stales Ihnl atirphy and several or-Jils friends came Into ho bar , attached to the hall , shortly before 0 o'clock and ordered a round of beer. He s not In the habit of serving Murphy , or my of his Minds , unless there Is money In ilghl , and so lold them. Murphy produced - quarter and Hroch had drawn a single glass if beer when Mallan entered. Joe Collins vas standing at the end of the bar , and 'lallanont ' to him and naked him for his iroperty. Collins struck at Mallan twice , nil at this , Jim and Tom Collins , who were lauding outside the building , rushed in to ils aid. The stabbing then took place. Iroch says lhat Murphy and the Collins ; ang very seldom have any money , ami the act that they did have on the night of the nurder impressed the fact upon his mind. I wo other eye witnesses lo the stabbing fern located by the police yesterday in the icrsons dt Antone Kuncsh , 1719 South Four- eenth sltcbt. 'and William Rosing , 1308 Con or street. 'Doth ' these men state that Joe ollins struck nt Mallan twice and that Mal- 111 struck at him with the knife Just at om and Jlrii Coillm rushed intn the place , lallan wag alone and acted upon the do- enslvo.l < Murphy has"bcen in the police tolls a num- er of times for drunkenness and other petty rimes and he's ' for the last year associated Hh the Collins gang. His reputation Is lost unsavory.1 For a period of several years no Collins fatally , which includes Jim. Joe nd Tom , wh'6 took part 'in Ihe affair of alurday night , and a cousin also named Jim , ave been , knqwn lo the police as Ihe ler- rs of Soulh Thlrlcenlh slreel. Their ictics have been"cf the most cowardly do- crlptlon hud 'any ono member of the'gang as ssldom found alone In any work which uoy. may have conducted.-i * Ono of Ihclr tvorito amusements In addition to petty iiovlng has been that ol assaulting offl- ers. ers.ERU /ERU WONT TO ASSAULT OFFICERS.

FATHER AND SON CONVERSE. Hugh Mallan , father of Charles Mallan , ho struck the blows which resulted In io death of Joe Collins , visited his son In ' 0 city Jail yesterday afternoon. The meet- ' g between father and son was quite at- ' ctlng. In Iho conversation held between em before the officers Mallan stated that ) "was sorry thai ho had killed Collins , " it had done so In solf-defenae. Ho said he ought the rest of the gang were about assault him and as hu was alone ho put > the best defense at his command. Main - n , after the leavetaklng of his father , .ced the cell nervously the greater portion the afternoon. Ho told the officers that 1 expected to suffer for his crime , but d not think ho would bo hung for It. Mary and Kate Collins , slaters of the mur- ired man , called at the morgue yesterday ornlng and passed several hours with the mains. They deplored his death and 'erred that' ho had always been a kind 'other ' to them except when under Iho in- lenco of liquor. They laid his early death 'Intemperate habits. The coroner's inquest will take place ate o morgue today at 2 o'clock. A post vmortem examination was made ion the remains of Collins yesterday aft- noon , which /showed / ( lhat the knife blade d pcnofrated. the heart , Inflicting thu MIIIJ frqifl tyhlch death ensued.

The ministerial petitioners to the ; lslaluro might do well to consider the cumstanccs. Mctz' hall is < yery near the heart of the 0a y , being less than ten blocks south of main street. It has been in existences years and Is therefore well known. A nco la hold In the hall every Saturday ; ht and often on other nights of the week. ese dances are also well known , and are lecially well known to the members of > Omaha police department. On Sutur- f nights Metz hall Is the toughest place the city. All the basest elements In the y's populatiqp are represented there , ey commence to come at 10 and 11 o'clock , en , In the language of the habitues , the ice begins to get "good , " From this 10 until -1 and G o'clock oa tlio Sabbath riilnga rlotoua lictiue and Intemperance d sway until the debauched men and men drop Into the dullness of Intoxication uro compelled to cease from fatigue. Beer 1 whisky and every other intoxicant la sold openly until the hour when the dance breaks up. Loose women ot the city flock to the Saturday night dAnce as bugs gather about the globes of electric lights on a sum mer night. They are street walkers and the wlno room workers , the very lowest ol their class. They flaunt their vice nnd ply their trade without restraint and with In creasing Intoxication become absolutely shameless In their conduct nnd their speech. The men who frequent the dances nro not much better. Among them nro the thieves nnd toughs and bums of the city , and mem bers of the "respectable" class who are out on a tear. It Is coi.sldcrcd n climax to n debauch to go to "Met1 hall. " Young men nro hero Initiated Into n life ot vlco. The Sat urday night al Mctz' hall Is a necessary step In tlio process. With nil these classes combined the scene presented In the hall would absolutely abash the average citizen of Omaha. The Intoxi cants are dispensed freely and as the hours ot the night progress quarrels arlso and fights are frequent. During the past years noi a few of these affrays hnvo bepn serious. The combatants have como out of them with broken heads and limbs. Not a dance passes without fights In which blood flows freely. Despite Its reputation , no officer Is detailed to control the license nnd the tlotousness of the place. Occasionally the patrolman on the beat drops in. Ho Is without orders to do anything but stop fights. Conseqnenlly ho looks on awhile and then ROCS out on his beat. If thcro Is any cessation In the de bauch whllo ho is about U is begun again as soon ns ho leaves. H Is for this reason that It was possible for Charles Mallan to stab Joe Collins to death in Metz' hall last Saturday night and to leave the hall even whllo the body of his victim was falling dead to the floor. Tlioro was no policeman to take him Into custody. It was for this reason also that Mallan could return to the hall and learn that Collins was dead and still walk away without being placed under nrresl , It was iomo tlmo after the murder , but Iho pollco Jld not yet seem lo comprehend lhat there was a murderer. After the deed Mallan went to his home. IIo walked thorp- and spent some minutes in his conversation with his family. H was ono of the places where the pollco ; hould naturally have looked for htm. No illlccr arrived , however , and ho was free o go wherever ho pleased. Then ho re- .urned again to the hall and found that Col- Ins1 was dead. An officer could have placed its hand on his shoulder and arrested him. Utcr that Mallan started to go lo a dc- ecllvo's house In the southern part of the ; lty to glvo himself up. On his way ho met 'ricnds ' , who advised him to go to tlio pollco itatlon. Ho followed tliolr advice. Ho > asscd n number of policemen on his way. [ "hey did nol molesl him , because none of hem knew yet that a murder had been com- nlttcd. If Mallan had not gene himself to the itatlon and turned himself over to the po- Ice , ho might have been still at liberty. ( M Importance- I'lililh ; I.IO ItriiimlU Out 111 u Sermon Ycxlrrdnj- .

"A practical side of this Idea Is Its appll- allen lo Christian education , especially on Ills day of prayer for educalional Inslllu- lons. Xo education Is complete that dees ot propose the harmonious development of fie whole man , and Christian education lays tress on the moral and spiritual as the basis Jr the physical and intellectual growth of lan. A reason why we should pray for thp irgest blessings upon the educalional bul- arks of our country , apart from their rela- ! ons to the future welfare of Christianity , Is lie present strong movement for Christian Itizsnship. Educaled men in a republic hourd be Ils safeguard , and men of Ihe rcatest education and broadest culture are eeded these days for leaders.

As I had no I of keys I made n good deal of noise , In 0 hope of awakening our night porter , it It turned out that he was not in the illdlng. I then , In company with the itchman , got a ladder , broke one of the ar windows , entered tlio store and found 1 evidence of escaping gas. When a boy ns to a fire ho Is disappointed if II turns it to be a false alarm , but I was thankful at there was nothing wrong.

A few evenings ago a notlco pcared calling uponall residents of naha who were natives of the state of line to meet al a cerlaln offlco for Iho rposo of forming an organization. I bo- ve that organizations similar to this of B former residents of all of the eastern lies , who may now reside In Omalia , could turned to a very good purpose In ad- rtlalng the exposition in each separate ito. For Instance , if all the natives of line who reside In Omaha would use their luence as a body to advcrtlso tills onter- IBO In the different counties fn the state mi which they came , and would logo no [ > ortunlly in Ihls direction , either In the liter of communications to their homo pa rs or through letters to friends , a vast lount of most effective advertising could oecurcd.

Nordlca arrived In Omaha In licr special car yesterday afternoon , coming from Denver , where she appeared In a concert on Saturday evening. She was scn by a Hco reporter at the Pnxton hotel last night , and she hadn't the slightest Indication ot fatigue after so much of her Journey In the race across the continent. She appoafinrT" In four concerts at San Francisco , nnd It i her enthusiasm over her reception In that I city Is a safe basis upon which to pass nn opinion , she left her musical heart In the American Paris. She evidently pleased the people out there , for she was moro than pleased with the manner of the treatment the San Francisco audiences accorded her. The prlma donna Is a brunette. Her eyes are not large , but how they sparkle. The half a dozen or moro diamonds she wears are not In It. She Is of medium height , with a woll-pnunded flguro. She Is ot Yankee birth , but the drawl peculiar to the people from that section of the country has been supplanted by the cultivated accent and style ono would expect of n cosmopolitan , mingled with a lltllo of Iho stage pronuncia tion. She Is pleasanl and nffablo. Indicating a sallsfacllon with the reward she Is now re ceiving for long years of hard nnd patient work perfecting herself for the vocation she has adopted. After the concert hero this evening she goes to Kansas City , St. Joseph , St. Ixiuls and other cities , headed all the time for the Atlanllo coasl , where she sails during March for Paris. She will sing opera In lhal clly during April nnd May. Then she ROCS to London , where she will appear In Covrnt Garden for a couple of months. After that she says she Is going to rest whllo her man ner suggested that she was enjoying a pro longed vocation. To ono who knows little ot hpr work and application Mmo. Nordlca's appearance , and the need of a rest , would never be assoclaled together. The singer said she acquired the major portion of her musical education In this country , although she made her first public appearance in Italy. She says her Instructor In Hoston was very severe with her , and kept her en the grind for tour years , Friends would tell her parents that It was a shame lhat with her voice she was not singing In public nnd earning s6mo money ; but her Instructor told her to bo patient and use tha time then to "learning something , " so when she began her public career she would bo In condition to keep It up. The tlmo seemed long and tedious , but she admits now that the Instructor was correct In hh Ideas. She is proud of her American birth , and says thai wherever she is , and she has sung in all Iho principal clllus of Europe , she always feels that she would rather bean an American than the native of any other * - country. In spite of this statement , how-7 ever , she admitted that she made her homo at Paris , when she conMdered she had a home. She llvc-d at London until her mother died , when she moved to Paris , indicating by her actions that while America was a good place to be born in , there were more desirable loca tions to live. Notwithstanding the long Jumps which have been necessary to fill her engagements , the many and quick changes of climate , her voice has remained her best friend , and she . , filled every date slnco slarllng out on the > present concert tour. J She didn't ' know when she would return to this country for another tour , but when It , ivas suggested thai Ihe thoatr tonight would bo tested to Its fullest capacity to hear her , she said there were a number of cities which jho would bo delighted to visit again , as well is some she had not yet seen , and hinted : hat it might not be long before she came jack.
