The Board of Public Works met yester

street. Henry C , Sharp offered to do the
work for 37 cents a foot. Samuel Katz
wanted 48 cents , and George C , Huso , 37
cents , Balfo & Head bid 49 cents for that
part of the district between Hickory and
Dorcas streets , and 39 cents for the remainder ,
They were awarded the contract , the two
lower bids being thrown out by the board
This was on the ground that the Huso bid
only covered a part ot , the district , and
Sharpe was not a licensed plumber. The
contiact was drawn up and approved In the
afternoon , so that the contractor can begin
work at once. The contract and bond of J.

the members of the Thureton rifles In the
contest which Is to bo held nt San Antonio
July 17 , and continuing eight days. The
business men ot the Texas city have rnlscd
a large nmoi.nt ot money to bo paid out In
prlrca for the competing companies , nnd It
the Thurstor rifles succeed In defending tlie
cup they now hold , they will receive In ad-
dltlon to that honor the sum ot $3,000 ns n
purse. It will bo necessary for them , If they
wHi to retain the cup to go to San Antonk :
and defend It , or surrender It voluntarily ,
and It Is no' probable thnt nny lojnl Omaha
cltl/on wishes to see the latter course
adopted. The Thureton rifles met lust night
nnd decided to go nnd fight for their honors
If they van secure the money with which to
pay their expenses. It will take about $2000
to pay those expends , and a committee will
start out at once to raise the money.
Mr. Irvine Is also trjlng to Impress the
people of this city with the Idea ot recipro
city Ho savs that It Texas mnkcs nn exhi
bition nt the Trnnsmtsslsstppl Exposition It
will have to bo done through popular sub
scription , nnd ho feels that It Omaha will
help Its crack military company In going to
the prize drill that the people of San An
tonio , and through them the people In other
portions of the Lone Star state , will feel
like contributing money to mnko n suitable
exhibit at the exposition. Mr. Irvlno was
the commissioner from Terns for the Nash-
vllo exposition , but they started so Into with
the work thnt they found they could not
raako a succes-o of It nnd had to abandon
the enterprise. Ho thinks the mistake made
In that case will bo avoided now , for there
Is already n well defined sentiment In Texas
In favor of making an exhibition nt the
Transtnlsslsslppl Imposition.
flo w 111 hold a further consultation with
the exposition authorities today , and will
then go to DCS Molnes. On his relurn to
