There Is lacking none of the paraphernalia
of the medical lecture room except thu cad

Senator Gear has telegraphed Secretary
Judfon of the Business Men s association that
ho will do all that lies In Ills poner to sc-
cute the location ot the Indian supply depot
at Omaha and would aid Senator Allen In
whatever effort ho thought advisable to so-
euro the prl/c. The Influence of Senator
Gtar will be vciy strong with members ot
the house , und 'it is safe to count upon the
assistance ot about all of the southern Iowa
members.
Recent disclosures In connection with the
vote In the senate and Us reference to the
effort of the Sioux City people to prevent tbo
depot being located In Omaha show that the
action of a mijorlty of the Iowa members
was more the result of a mistake than a
dcylio to antagonize Omaha. There was a
tacit understanding among the members that
Council Ulufls should be favored If there was
an ) pos lblo show to secure the location
of the propote-d depot , and at no llmo was
Sioux Clt ) seilously eonaldi-red by nny other
than tint members In the northwestern Iowa
districts. Fiom letters iccelvcd hero It
seems the vote for Sioux City was llttlo less
than the result ot a cunning trlek. The
members who were led to vote In favor of
the up-river town now feel quite willing to
undo all that has been done and use all
of their influence In favor of Omaha.

The city council met In special session last
evening for the put pose of hearing the evi
dence oidercd to bo submitted by the Sixth
waid petitioners who are remonstrating
against the appointment of J. M. Hardln ns
street commissioner. It icqutrcd less than
live minutes to dispose of the matter and
leave It In stntu quo Mayor Carbon was
absent and Alderman Graham occupied the
chair. Ovid Vlcn , counsel for the petitioners ,
appeared and withdraw the petition , and In-
foimed the board that as Mi' . Hardln had not
bcon elected at all the oflldavlts supporting
the e'hargo that ho was not a citizen of the
city were not necessary. He briefly icvlewed
the aetlon of the council In voting for the
olllcers by secret ballot Instead of In the
manner preset Ibed by law , nnd read the sec
tion of the statute which they had plainly
violated and which declared that their act
In taking a secret ballot had vitiated the
election of all of the officers so chosen.
The council heard the statement of the
attorney and then udjourned until the reg
ular weekly meeting on Monday night. The
action to bo taken then has already been
forecasted by the declarations of the alder
men. Another election of ofllecrs will be
held and no secret ballots will bo taken
The election will be held strictly In accord
ance with the statute , which declares that
the votes must bo vivo voce on the call ot
the ) cas and nays , and that the vote of
each aldeiman must be recorded. The- re
sult of the new election has also been fore
casted. All of the men elected at the former
mooting will receive a majority vote again
and be legally elected.

Miss Lucy E Eaton yesterday applied for
letters of administration In the citato of
her brother , tbe late Joel Eaton , and flled
a bond for $20,000 , double the amount of
the property outside of the personal prop
erty ot her brother. Her application dis
closed the fact that was not generally known
even to Mr. Eaton's most Intimate friends
that he- was a widower. The personal prop
erty amounts to something over $20,000 , nnd
consists of two life Insurance policies for
$10,000 each. A third policy for $6,500 which
Mr. Knton had carried for a number of years
had recently lapsed.
An amended petition was yesterday flled
In the case ot George H. Stlllman against C.
S. Ixifferts In his action to compel Lefferts
to dlvldo equally about $20,000 w rth of real
estate property In East Omaha and 300 acres
south of Lake Manawa , which Lcfferts had
acquired from the government as accreted
lands. In his petition Stlllman atuerts that
his contract with Lefforts was an oral ono
and provided that Lsfferts was to furninh
an equal share of the money and Stlllman
was to do the legal work necessary to secure
title to the lands , and that Lefferts had ac
quired the title secretly and had refused to
confer with his partner at any stage of the
game after the land was necured.

A strong local effort was made yesterday
to prevent the pasago by the Iowa legisla
ture of the pending bill affecting the stand
ing of foreign Insurance companies doing
business In the state The bill provides for
a tax of 5 per cent upon the gross earnings
ot all of these companies. The companies
Interested and doing business In Council
lUuffH called upon all of their agents here
yesterday morning by wire to secure as large
a petition as pcsslble from the heaviest prop
erty owners and patroni ot Insurance com
panies and solid them to Des Molncs by tcl-
e'graph as early In the day as possible. The
form of tbo petitions wua more of the na
ture of a protest against the passage of tbe
proposed law ,
The Insurance agents lost no tlmo In get
ting at thu work assigned them and by noon
three large petitions weio flled In the tele
graph olllces , All of the petitions were
signed by many heavy patrons of the for
eign companies and the total represented sev
eral million dollars worth of risks ,

DES MOINES , April 29. ( Special Tele
gram ) Neither house of the legislature
held full sessions today , both waiting for
conference committee reports. The confer
cnco committee on the Temple amendment
after two meetings failed to agree and will
tomorrow ask that new conferees be named
The house committee stood firmly by the
Temple amendment nnd the senate membcis
ns strongly against It , The house commit' '
tee proposed as an amendment that the Temple
plo measure be adopted , but that a clause
bo added to It specifying that It shall not
affect any relief association now In exist
cnee This , It Is said , would remove all the
objections the Uurllngton road has offered
to the Tom plo measure and would nt the
en mo tlmo satisfy the railroad brotherhoods ,
which have demanded that the measure be
passed to prevent the extension of the re
lief system to other roads There Is serious
talk of nn effort to bring the matter on the
floor ot Uu > senate and force that body on
record for or against the compromise.
The house refused to concur In senate
amendments to the oil Inspection bill , by
which the oil Inspector was done awny with.
The house wants to retain that olllclal. The
house killed a large number ot legalizing
nets , while the senate granted permission
to Introduce nnd then passed n largo number
ot others. Martin Introduced In the house
a resolution calling on the state superinten
dent for Information as to means of secur
ing cheaper text books.
The Insurance conference committee re
ported against the valued policy measure
and put In n new form certain provisions
which the senate had adopted , looking to the
reform ot the Insurance policy In the Inter
ests of the policy holder.
The senate adopted the conference report
on the banking bill nnd passed It.

"Talk about ) our shark hunters In the
South Pacific Islands , " romanced the old
traveler to the Detroit Tree Press , "but I
lemembcr seeing1 an encounter with one
of those long-toothed gentry that for cool
nerve beat anything I ever reail about.
"I was loafing around Calcutta one day ,
late In the autumn , waiting- for the evening
train up to the city of Hugll , when I heard
a tremendous shouting1 comlnu from the di
rection of the Itlver IltiKll , which la prac
tically ono of the mouths of the Ganges.
Trotting over to the shore as fast us a
white man ever travels In India , I saw a
huge commotion. Natives were hurrying
away from the bank ns If In terror and
then running back as If their curiosity had
overcome their greatest fears. The river
was full of boats. The occupants of the
larger ones were sciearning Tvlth excite
ment , while those In the small ones were
bhrleklng and jabbering with a coiibldcrablo
amount of fear
"I soon discovered that the fuss had bcoji
created by a Inrge hhark which had como
up with the tide and had ventured a little
further than It wns customary for sharks
to do. His dorsil lln was cutting the
water here and there , and when occasion
ally he turned on his back and sent his
nose and grinning te'eth above the water
groniiM and screams of horror went up In
all directions His tdinrkshlp wns evidently
out for s ifper , and was easting longing
glances at the succulent Hindoo babies , of
which a considerable number we're In sight ,
"In the midst of all the hubbub a tall ,
lank Hindoo stepped out upon the roof of
n kind of houseboat and In a short speech
announced that he would catch the hhark.
"Instantly n dead hush fell upon the mul
titude. The Hindoo stood erect. He was
perfectly nuked save for a little garment
at the loins , which our Texas cowbovs call
a 'gee strlnc. ' He was armed only with a
long1 rope like a lariat , which he held be
hind his back with his left hand.
"Presently Mr. Shark e-.tme to the sur
face about elKht yards from the boat and
Immediately the Hindoo plunged overboard.
"A ehorus of Rroans nnd exclamations
went up , In the midst of which the Hindoo
reappeared , swimming with his right hand
Man and Hhark faced each other , and I
fancied that I saw it pleased expression In
tlio monster's eye , n much as to say :
Well , this Is civil , to say the least ! '
"Tlio shnrk evidently thought he hntl a
cinch on the situation , for he Hwam leis
urely towards the Hindoo , turnliur slowly
upon his back nnd opening his mouth. The
mouth elosed with n snap , and the people
screamed , but the Hindoo had dived , and
presently ho appealed again on the off side
of thu shark , smiling nnd still carrying his
rope.
"The blfr fl-sh looked surprised nnd then
made another gentle dab at the Hindoo.
The result was the same , and Mr. Hindoo
came up fresh for the third round.
"Then the shark began to grow aiiKry nnd
mndo a vlcloiiH run at the Hindoo , nnd
again ho misled. The people on here and
In the boats began to foci confidence In the
human champion , and their groans were
changed to applause. Every time the man
made n point against the fish those heath
ens would bond up a rousing1 cheer.
"W < 11 , by this time the thing wan getting
oxcltlni ; . I never saw puch swimming be
fore , find I never will again. He dodged ,
twisted , dived nnd Jumped llko an eel. The
Ilsh m.ido chnrpo after charge. Once his fin
grazed the Hlndoo'y arm and the water
was colored with blood Tlio man's stock
wont down a point , but It soon rose agnln
when tlio orond began to neo that the Ilsh
Hlmply wasn't in It. The man was beating
him at hlu own game. You sec. the Huh
could only go In ono direction straight
ahead llko an arrow whllo the man turned
and doubled llko a fo\-
"Well , by nnd by the exertion nnd excite
ment told on tlio monster. Ho got rattled ,
chinned iho water Into foun and then bc-
pamo quiet again. At tills moment the
Hindoo faced him again. It was the last
louncl.
"The shark charged languidly. The man
waited , lying In the water until -the great
mouth mm opened to seize him. Then , with
n convulsive backward leap , he straightened
his body nnd sank feet downward , like a
plummet of lead
"Tho shark nettled down over him , lashIng -
Ing the water Into it lather of foam. They
seemed to bo grappling with each other
The crowd groaned nnd screamed , nnd then
beramo silent
"For tlie tpncu of what scorned on hour
the people vv ate tied the surface of the water ,
until even the bubbles tind disappeared and
nil was nulct
" 'Lost ! Lost I' screamed a priest , nnd the
mob re-echoes ! the cry and began to beat
their breasts llko n lot of madmen Then
suddenly. In tlie middle of It all. the Hindoo
reappeared , thirty vnrdb up the stream
llotli hands wcru above nts head and hn
wns screaming. Tan. tan. tan ! ' Ho had
dipped the noose of Ills lariat around the
shark's tall and drawn It tout ; and he
held the free end In his mouth.
"In an Instant It was ashore and n score
of Hindoos we-ra draw nip nt It. It took
them half an hour to Bet Mr. Shark ashore ,
for ho pulled like a locomotive , but they
finally managed It. Ho proved to be nine
feet long nnd sold for a sum which cnnbie.il
tils captor to live In comfort for nearly half
a year. "

A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune ,
writing from Greenville , Miss. , described
graphically the effect of the floods In the re
gion of the delta of the Mississippi. Tlio
matter Is not such as has appeared In tele
graphic reporta. and as a picture of the state
of affairs In the submerged district Is of con
siderable Interest.
The letter IB ns follows :
Today starvation confronts 100,000 people
In the delta where upon the high places and
levees that nro still nbovc the vvnves nro
gathered negroes , mules , horses , cows , calves ,
plgfl nnd dogs. Here all these living cr ° a-
lures cat , sleep nnd have their being , the
whole being placed almost upon the piano
of social equality. The Ynroo-Mlsstaslppl
delta , with Its millions ot acres ot the rich
est land In the world , embraces an area
about ninety miles In length and 275 In
breadth , with a population of over 400,000 ,
many of whom are farm laborers , who de
pend for their dally bread on rations Issued
weekly by the planters and local merchants.
There can be no exaggeration of the flood
situation In the great delta nnd In portloim
of Arkansas , and the vast extent of human
suffering and destitution and loss of property
cannot bo conceived. The flood of 1S82 , be
fore the levee system was perfected , Is esti
mated to have caused a damage of $27,000-
000. That of 1S12 $7,000,000.
At numbers of places laujers , business
men , clerks , olllcla's ' , merchants and actois
were found working side by side with the
sons of Ham , wheeling dirt to elevate and
ctre-ngthen iho embankment that protected
the people from devastation and ruin
Greenville , with Its 10,000 people and 2,000
head of stock , Is now located on an Island
about three-quarters of a mile long and
ono and one-half miles wide , all hedged
about with Insecure protection levees. Prom
the court house tower there Is a view as
far as the eve can roach of a continuous
sea of water , water. Every tributary tream
In the back country Is swollen out ot Its
banks and literally covered with dead bodies
of horses , mules , and cattle. Homes are
descried and poultry may bo seen perched
In the tree" ) . In the country beautiful wild
deer In droves of six or more arc Been
upon the railroad embankments , having been
driven from their haunts. In the woodland
nnd swnmps by the rising waters. Iho
law against killing deer Is now In force in
Mississippi , and these beautiful wild ani
mals are permitted to live In splto of the
great temptation to murder them. Half-
grown hares were picked up from their
grassy boda near the railroad tracks , whllo
the water was stealing stealthily under them.
The llttlo animals seemed resigned to their
tate and waiting their doom. Kach plan
tation from Ilosedalo southward to VIcksburg -
burg , several hundred miles , presents thu
same bceue of ruin fenced , cabins , nnd cot-
taRCs washed away and boating amid the

ON'R HUXDURD TOWNS UNDER WATER.
There are scattered tlirou&i the delta
some 500 prosperous towns , 100 of which are
submerged , nnd Inhabitants nrls peiched on
housetops , on rnfts , nnd 'on ail manner of
floats , many of them without food. Last
Monday the Flower Lake levee near Tunica ,
Miss. , gave way under the tremendous pres
sure of water and tho. current rushed
through the crevasse with a roaring sound
that can only bo compared 19 that ot Ni
agara Falls. Near Hosedale , Miss. , I saw a
two-room log cabin floatlrig across the track
of the Mississippi Valley 'railroad , along
which a few dajs before trains were thun
dering. Nearly every nc'iJro. cabin nt Rose-
dale shows a hastily constructed window
In the roof vvhero the occupants lately made
their escape from the flood. Here April 8
a terrific storm swept over the town with
cyclonic fury , tossing large piles of drift
and floating cabins about as tovs In a tub.
A large cottonseed house filled with col
ored refugees was blown from Its founda
tion und floated half Its length across the
railroad sidetrack , going down with a mighty
splash Into the water four or five feet deep.
The negroes poured out like rats , quite a
panic ensuing , and but for a number of
boats many would hnvo drowned.
Not content with sweeping away property
that has taken years of labor and cxpcnso
to accumulate , the flood waters claimed
two more victims on Colonel Charles
Scott's Hosedale plantation April 2 , Bob
and Will Drown , two colored boys aged
about 14 and 17 years , sent to feed the
chickens In a canoe. On their being ab
sent from 'he house longer than usual
their mother became alarmed , made search ,
and found the canoe turned upside down ,
her children corpses beneath the waves
that roll and gambol an to the sea as If
no sorrow was left behind. At 8 o'clock the
night of March 30 , when Sunny Wild plan-
tation lovco gave way , messengers were
sent at breakneck speed to warn all people
living In the low places to seek points of
safety for themselves and stock. Church
and plantation bells began tolling for miles
around. The shouting of men's voices above
the roaring of the wind then raging was
plainly heard , and a scene of wild excite
ment prevailed. A negro was eeen making
for the levee with a cur pup under one arm ,
a ragged quilt under the other , and leadIng -
Ing a calf by the ears. When asked why ho
did not throw the dog down and try to
carry more of his plunder ho said : "I'd
rather see dls calf drown dan do pup. "
STORES CLOSED DY THE FLOOD.
The merchants at Ttosedalo are not at
tempting to keep their stores open , with
the exception of two Chinese merchants ,
who have their stock , or what the water tww I
flt to leave them. In the garrets , and all
customers enter from the roof over the
front gallery through an aperture from the
gable. The depth of the water In some of
the loulandH was Illustrated on April 8 , when
a negro boy was taken from the top of a
tree , where ho had climbed for safety , by a
man passing In a skiff. When this story
was told and properly autnentlcated , a by
stander said polcmnly that If negroes were
picked from the topg of trees In the swamps
now , that when the great eea of water passed
out of theYazoo basin for re-entrance Into
the .MlfHlssippl he would expect to hear of
ncgroas being seen clinging to the stars
and taken from their perllpus , positions by
the live-saving1 crows In passing skiffs.
An Iron treetle of the OebrBta Pacific rail
road over Uogue Phallailwani swept away
by the current April 7 nod fwp negro men ,
who had sought safety tbtfrqgn , were pre
cipitated Into the stream puddrowned. , At
Helena I witnessed a Aful and touching
scene. A rescuing steamertjhat had piled
Ita way for miles In the cqunjry through the
Inundated cotton fluids tmd farms came up
and anchored on ono ot the principal streets ,
laden with a curious lot pf freight , consistIng -
Ing of caU , homes , dogs , " chickens , women ,
children and household .and kitchen fur
niture. On the upper d k | was an Inter
esting llttlo girl of 7 or 8 yo rs holding her
pot cat In ono arm and a cage with her
canary In her hand. A handsome lad held
a pet lamb under his arm "with the other
mnd clasping the halter vrlilch secured his
grotty Shetland pony , ( Another boy was
lioldlng to his bicycle. Id i Greenville mer
chants have their goods 'derated on scaf
folds and household goods In dwellings piled
as high as the celling. Among the many
refugees arriving at Helena I saw an In
teresting family of nine 'mother and eight
children The father was at hla homo
trying to save some of his belongings. An
artist took a "snap shot" of this group and
the preparation for the Interesting event
developed the fact . that vanity rolgns
perpetually In the female breast
ivhotbcr eho bo an Ignorant black
flood sufferer or uot. The mother did not
want to have her "plctur tuk" because uho
lad sore eyes and would not show up well ,
llcfililea the "wuz In no flx. " She was per
suaded that It was because eho "was In no
flx" that her picture a * wanted. Plnally
iho consented and began to arrange her
numerous progeny so they would show up
to the bent advantage. "Leinmo git over
bar by uiy gal , Dls Is my oldest. Lou ,
watch me , my baby , now , " sold the eoro-
eyed mother. The large girls , tevcral of
them , pulled at their drrssea to tidy themselves -
selves up a bit and all of them tmd to look
unconcerned , but filled In the tffort An
Interested Icokrr-on , a strapping boy prob
ably enamored of the "oldest , " wonted to
know If ho could buy one of the pictures and
seemed disappointed when told they vvtic not
for tale.
DRIVE \TTLE IN HOAT3.
At Arkopolls we SAW a long string "f boats
crossing a cornfield , driving a large herd of
stock In four feet of water , and presenting
a unique spectacle. The question Is what
will become of the thousands cf refugees
sheltered In the towns from Memphis to
Vlcksburg. There Is llttlo prospect of the
wattis going down In time to make a crop ,
even If there were Implement ; and stock
left to mnrkct It with A fear Is entertained
by the largo planters that the gaps In the
levces may not bo closed In time to avert the
drowning out ot the crfips by the Juno
rise.

A person unfamiliar with the strength of
the levees nnd the perfect mvsten ot the
mlfchty river might feel alarmed at the prox
imity ot the water to thu crest of the land
In many places. On cither side of the great
river for a hundred mllre above New Or
leans , and below It also , are the most beau
tiful nnd picturesque sugar and lice planta
tions. The handsome cottages of the wealthy
planters , the fresh , white negro ciblns , the
steam gins . .and sugar cnglius nrrn > ed llko
a continuous village , nestle- over behind these
lex ces from ten to twenty feet below the
crest of the water It Is marvelous that
an abiding confidence In the strength of
these levees lulls the planters Into ti sense
of security so that they remain nt home
unconcerned apparently with the river ' \at > r

South Omaha News .
The thrcg holdover rcwibllcnn members of
the city council , William llennctt , John
Schultz nnd W. U. Vansant , have been se
verely criticised In certain circles for pur
posely absenting themselves from council
meetings during the last few davs of the
Ilfo of the old council. Certain democrats
assert that these men willfully delnjcd pub
lic business nnd made It Impossible to pass
ordinances und settle tin ceitaln cl.ilms be
fore the life of the old eouncll expired.
Considering this state of affairs these conn-
cllmcn feel that It Is a duty they owe the
public to make a statement of the facts
This Is what Councilman John Sehultz has to
say :
"For over two months I had heard a great
deal about the proposed gas franchise and
what the .gus company propoted to do for
the city. Personally I nm in favor of gas
and will vote for a fair nnd reasonable fian-
chlsc. I was not given the opportunity to
this until It
see jnuch-talkcd-of ordinance
wns read for the first time at one of our
meetings. I listened carefully to the rend
ing of the ordinance granting the franchise
and failed to find a slngUi concession to the
city. It was nil one-sided ; It did not lemilre
the company to put up any bond ; did not
state when work was to be commenced ; In
fact , under the franchise as rend , the city
gave everything and received nothing In re
turn. It gave the company the tight to build
tlio works In another city and pipe gas here
If so deblicd. The ordinance , after being
read , was refcired to the judiciary commit
tee , and the chairman of that committee Im
mediately reported back in fnvor of Its pas
sage. I wub then and there convinced that
there was 'a nigger In the wood pile' nnd
that It was the Intention of tlio council to
barter away a valuable finnchlse , the city
getting nothing In retuin.
"As the republican members were power
less to prevent the package ot this ordinance
should a quorum be obtained , the < only thing
left for t-'s to do was to get out of the city.
When some of the democratic members of
the council learned my petition they be
came desperatennd used all sorts of means
to Induce mo to attend the meetings. After
Councilman Hughes returned from the cast
I was offered $100) ) If I would attend a meet
ing and help the ordinance along. When I
refused thin offer I was given to undeistand
that the Inducements would bo Increased If
I would change my mind and attend. I will
go on the stand If necessary and glvo the
name of , the party who offered me money to
vote for thla ordinance.
Councilman Dennett said that ho would
llko to make a public statement for the same
reasons given by Mr. Schultz. Ho said :
"I was given a wrong conception of the
gas ordinance by friends of the project and
only knew the real conditions after It had
been read for the first time. I was approached
preached nnd given to understand that It
wouldl be made 'an object' to mo If I at
tended the meetings and aroisted In the
passage of the ordinance. A man whom I
will name If necessary gave me to understand
that there was good money In It foi
me If the gas ordinance was passed. A mem
ber of the Judiciary committee came to sec
mo several times about attending the meet
ings and on two or three occasions nskcd ino
to go up to Omaha with him und TOE Mrs.
Tlmony about her claim against the city ,
also other Important matters pertaining to
the council. He said to me , 'People nro ao
suspicious out hero if they see two council
men talking together they think a Job Is
being put up. ' I did not want to go with him ,
as I had made up my mind as to what was
right In regard to this claim and the other
Important , matters , but finally agreed to go
Just to see what he had In store for me.
A meeting of the council had been set for
Thursday evening and wo were to go to
Omaha Thursday afternoon. Schultz nnd
Vantunt had both left the city and I thought
It would bo perfectly safe for mo to run
at large and even show up nt the meeting ,
ay It requires flvo votes to allow claims and
pass an ordinance.
"Thursday morning this member of the
Judiciary committee called on me and asked
If I would surely be present nt the meet
ing that evening. I told him I would unless
something turned up. Shortly after this talk
learned that Councilman Hughes was In the
city , In fact , I saw him talking with Caldwell -
well n short time afterward. I changed my
mind aboutgolne / to Omaha and In order to
prevent a quorum I left at once for Chicago.
That Is all that I care to say about tbo mat
ter now. "
In connection with this same matter Coun
cilman Vaneant makes the following state
ment :
"I heard a great deal about this gas ordi
nance before It wan Introduced In the coun
cil and understood from several parties that
there was considerable boodle being used
to secure Its passage. Of this I was pretty
well convinced when I heard the ordinance
read for the first time and noticed the
activity of some of the democratic members
In connection with the matter.
"Wo three republican members got to
gether and decided that the passage of
this gas ordinance and the allowing of tbo
Tlmony and other claims , which the demo
cratic members proposed , was a deal pure
and simple , and wo agreed to use every
honorable means to defeat the scheme. This
was accomplished by us three republicans
absenting ourselves and preventing a
quorum. Wft may be guilty of obstructing
the buslnets of the city for a week or o ,
as It Is claimed by certain parties , but we
nurely had the Interest of the city at heart
In dolnn what wo did. Personally. I nm In
favor of gas In South Omaha , and will vote
for any ordinance Introduced wherein the
lights of the city nre protected"
The ordinance In question rw ' " the
South Omaha Oas company a twenty-five
) ear franchise to use , construct and main
tain gas works In the oily U gave the
free mo of streets , allcs. public places ,
viaducts nud bridges to the tompntiy for
Its pipe * . It allowed the company to charge
? l 40 per thousand feet , all bills to bo ren
dered nt a rate to exceed this price by 10
cents , provided that upon all bills so made
out n discount of 10 cents per thousand
feet was to be allowed , should the bill bo
paid on or before the 10th of each mouth
Thirty dollars per annum was to be charged
for each gas street light , cnch light to burn
five feet of gas an hour. These streets lights
were to be lighted a Inlf hour before sun
set and bo extinguished an hour bctoie sun
rise. No bond was required from the com
pany , and no tlmo was set for the com
mencement of the work. There was no pro
vision In the ordinance for furnishing free
gas to the city olllces and engine homes , In
fact , the city gave evcnthlng and got noth
ing.
Councilman Vansant , who Is one of the
vvarmcfit advocates ot the scheme to secure
gas In this elly , sald In this connection
"When 1 vote for a gas franchise ordi
nance I want to be fiatlsfled that the lights
of the city nro being prolccted , and that
wo are not giving away n valuable franchise
for speculative purposes In my opinion
nny company given n franchise for gas
Miould not be allowed to const met n plant
In Omaha and pipe gin to South Omaha.
The companj should bo compelled to ciect
nnd maintain e plant heic.
1 in the ordinance introduced by the demo-
crate the price of stteet lamps was IKcd
at ? 30 a year. I find upon Investigation
that In othci cities $12 Is paid for street
lights which burn on the moonlightsehcd-
ule , nnd ? 17 fiO for lights which burn fiom
sunset to sumlsc. Another sUiemc whleh
I am lu fnvor of la exacting a realty of
say 5 edits pel 1,000 cubic feet nctuullv
hold and collected fur This wo-ild not
apply to lights sold the elt ) . In this wav
tin- city would be gettliu something back
for the1 franchise granted "
i\lin Polloc Not Hi-tiiili'oil.
Someof the members of the- fit ) council
do not take much ttoek In the maor'b
btatement that the piescnt police force is
not largo enough to enforce the Suiidav Clos
ing law. In ease the resolution talked of
was passed It Is not thought that nny uxttn
polleemen would have to appointed as an
nounced by the maoi. These ollUlals think
that If eaeh taloou keeper was notilled not
tn open his place of business on Sunday and |
wan Klven to understand that U he did ho
would be at rested that would virtual ! ) end
the matter. The chief of police could , It
is asseited , easly visit all of Iho saloons
during the day nud see that the ies > olutlon
was being obejcd.
In the matter of appointing speelal or ad
dltlonal policemen , the major would bo
powerless" to act without the consent of the
council. The Rectlon of the- charter icfcrrlng
to police reads"The city marshal and ouch
number of policemen as the council may au-
thorlzo shall be appointed and may bo le-
movcd for cause. In rase of an emergenc )
the ma ) or may appoint a nece ar ) number
ot special police , who shall be removable lit
the pleasure of the nuqt and council"
'Ihis vlitinlly leaves tnc whole matter In
the hands of the louncll , and If the members
do not desire to Increase the expenses by
adding a number of additional police-men
the-y ejn oppose the appointments Many of
tlie biloon Keepers aio considerably worked
up over the matter of Sunday closing. Tboy
.say that Sunday \ the best da ) In tlio week
and that It would be a hardship to have to
shut up shop on that day. Ver ) likely the
resolution ordering the saloons closed will
come up again at the special meeting of the
council tonight.
May 1 Is the time set for the dog catcher
to start out on his annual rounds. Last
) car Joseph J. Maly acted as pourdmastcr
and dng catcher , but as the number ot tags
paid for was not large , Maly got tbe wortt
of the deal financially. Alone 1" tbo latter
pat * of the summer ho threw up his Job in
disgust and tlie city has no poundmaster and
canine catcher at the present time. Possi
bly the maor may make an appointment
tonight.
After JInly had gone to work last summer
and erected a pound , which Included a con
trivance for electrocuting the unclaimed
canines , he discovered that the charter pro
vided for the city owning a pound. He
then put In a bill to the elty for the cost
of the pound , and the council ordered Maly
rcin.burEcd The understanding was that
the pound was to remain the property ot
tlio city. The ! other day when the question
of applntlng a dog catcher came up , one of
the elt ) officials went down to look after the
pound and found that the whole structure
had disappeared. Mr. iMaly will be called
upon to explain the disappearance , and If he-
has disposed of city property he will be com
pelled to replace It.
