THE OMA1TA DAILYVJSpyiSSnAT \ , MAY 12 , 1807. to the petition for a mandamus and Judge Kej-Bor nnld that the judges had heard All the argument * on the mandamus cnse they cared to hear , and requested the at torneys to confine their arguments to the quo- . warranto proceedings. ATTOKNKY WRIGHT'S CONTKNTION. Attorney Wright opened the argument , say Ing that the only question Involved at present was the right of temporary possession of the ofTIco of mayor , pending the settlement of the case. Ho alleged , ns n principle of law , that the do facto ofllccr had the right to enjoin the dc jure odlccr. With this ns a basis , lie ArgueJ that no officer could be do facto until ho had been actually Inducted Into office. Ilo went Into a very extended argument ate to what constituted a do facto ofllccr. Ordinarily , ho said , this question would bo decided by the certificate of election. Ho lulil that this certificate was only prlma fnclo evidence thnt the party receiving It had re ceived the highest vote at nn election. In the case at bar ho said that the person elected to the office wns ineligible nnd the fact that ho had received a certificate Is not jirltna facto evidence In n quo wnrranto case , as U does not overcome the fact of In- eligibility. Hence , he contended that the election was void. The attorney then cited n long list of authorities which he mld aup- jxirtcd his contention that the fact of Ineligibility - eligibility dated from tlio date of the election and not from nny subsequent time , nnd that when the plurality of votes cast at ail elec tion were cast for n person who was Ineligible at that time , the election wns void for that reason. Thcflo authorities were almost exactly the same ns the authorities cited to the court In the lloyd-Thaycr cnae , and went directly to the merits of the question In volved In the quo warranlo proceedings nnd not to the question of Injunction , which was the only question bcforo the court , Mr. Wright adverted to the right of fflroalch to hold pcescMlon pending the Hit- Ration of fho case , saying that ho had the right to bold over aa ngainst the claim of the do Jure omcor. Ho read from the petition lie had filed and argued that Moores should ! > o prevented from taking possession of the ofllco until ho cleared himself of the charge made against him by Ilrontch. He urged the court that by sustaining this action thn court would bo "purifying politics" nnd acting ac cording to law. ' OI1STUUCTINO TUB PEOPLE'S WILL. John 0. Wharton opened for Mayor Moores and raid to the court that his client held a certificate of election aiiJ had filed his oath nnd bond nnd was entitled to take possession of tlio office of mayor whether ho held It for ono day or two weeks , and nil who attempted to prevent him from so doing obstructed the will of the people. Ho said the quo war rant ! ) proceedings were hot bcforo the court. That proceeding would come up later before a Jury or before the Judges of yho court sit ting en bane. The only question now at Issue ho said wns whether Mayor Mporcs ehpuld bo compelled to await the adjudica tion of the case brought by Droatch. "According to the arguments of the other eldc , " continued Mr. Wharton , i'Mayor Iloorcs must wait for months and not take pojicstilon of the olllce to which he has been elected , because , forsooth , some man who wants to draw the salary comes In hero and makes a sworn statement that Mayor Moores is Ineligible to hold the olfice , without giving him any opportunity to defend himself ami v/lthout a hearing. They say Broatch Is In possession ; we don't dispute that , but this li not a caao of Droatch against the public , but of Moores , mayor , against llroatch , usurper " Mr. Wharton quoted a decision of the Bupromo court of North Dakota , which held that where an Incumbent was holding over without any claim to the ofUco he was not do facto against the man holding the certifi cate of election , but Is an Intruder. A de cision of the supreme court of Wisconsin wr.s also quoted , In which It was held that n per son not a contestant for an olllco had no right to the possession of that ofllce. The Wisconsin court said that ft would bo possi ble to keep a man out of olTlce for his entire terra by the mere organization of a contest of no merit If this ruling were not adhered to , nnd held that It wna necessary to adopt" rule that the party holding ; the certificate of election should be given possession during the pendency of the case. The court held in the case quoted that Immediate possession must be'given of all records , etc.'pending ; the adjudication of the c&S , , Mr. Wharton mid that Uroat'ch WES slnip'lyau Intruder and that Moores was entitled to the possession of tlio 'ofilce. He said * the court was "not tryIng - Ing the question of title to ( ho onicc , but Imply the question of possession. AJ.ONQ ANOTHER L1NR. Mr. Wharton then took up another line of argument , quoting from numerous authorities to support his contention that a court of chancery is not the proper tribunal before which to try the right of possession and that the court has no Jurisdiction to cn- Jola an ofllcer holding a certifi cate from taking possession of the office to which ho has been elected , because It might develop thnt there was no foundation for the charges brought against him by the person trying to hold on. He said he could quote all day from authorities showing that the court had no power to restrain an officer from taking pctssesslon of the oitlco to which lie had been elected and that the person holding over or trying to hold over because 1ho party elected was not eligible was not the do facto ofllcer. Mr. Wharton also quoted decisions from the records of the Nebraska supreme court directly In line with his contention that an ofllcer cannot bo enjoined from taking bis scat. In one of these decisions It was argued that the people were estopped from prevent ing an ofllcar from taking the seat to which lie had been elected ami it wns , therefore im possible for the courto to do what the people . were prevented from dplng. Charles J. Greene followed Mr. Wharlon for Mayor Mooros. He said there wns but a oliiglo proposition In the case that of eligibility. Mayor Moores , ho said had a certificate- "election - and that was prlma fnclp evidence that ho was eligible and the election could not bo overturned by the mere allegation ot nn Individual. Jn the cour.ro of tlrno ho said this question of eligibility would bo determined nnd In the meantime the. on y question at Issue wns who should hold olllco during the Bettlement of the CBSP The qucotlon turned , ho said , oa the point whether a man should uo mayor who had no claim to the ofllce or n man who hnd been lawfully elected nnd held a certificate to that effect. To Issue an Injunction would bo to deprive Moores cf part of the term for which In. had been elected. The attorney quoted copiously from authorities to nhow that the courta regard It u-j little short of criminal to deprive a men of an olllco to which ho had been rightfully elected. Ho said the qut-utloii of do facto could not bo brought In thl rase. Whoever Is the rightful mayor intuit bo given possession. The filing of a potltlou simply gives the party filing It the right to bo heard , but until the. matter Is de cided Moores bus a right to the olllco , Mr. Greene quoted from many authorltlcn to sup- part his contention and confined himself tea a plain and couclso argument of the la- uues. Attorney Frank Uatieom closed the argu ment for Uroatch , Ho quoted from a long ( let of authorities that bad done duty In the Hoyd-Thaycr caeo , and closed with a grand /s tlio tinio when you should inku & Spring Medicine to purify your blood , give you good appetite , sound sleep , steady nerves nnd perfect digestion.

NO HXCITKMn.Vr ATTIIU CITV II.M.I Mayor' * Ofllro IIHil Quietly Ii llroalcli'n Hod j iriinril. The city hall resumed Its usual monotonou aspect yesterday. The police mounted puard ' the mayor's ofllce , as before , but their pros cnce was unnoticed and Immaterial , Th ofllco might as well have been located I Madagascar , as no ono evidently bad an bustnctsr with Mr. Uroatch , and be and hi bodyguard Were left alone. Mayor Moore waa In fijllprlvato office In The Dee bulli Ing durlrigj-tho early part of the forenoon whcro lio.-rccelved the usual number of pco pie who visit the mayor's office. There waa some speculation In official clr cles as to who was mayor , pending the de clslon of the court. Tills was especially tru with the city clerk , who 'iiad a number o documents that , under the rulea ot the coun ell , must go to the mayor during the day It was the geueral opinion that Preslden Hlngham of the city council was actlni mayor under the circumstances. The term of Mayor Broatch had expired and his sue ccssor had been elected and qualified. No that ho was restrained by the court fron acting , the president of the council would act In the executive capacity under the provl slon of the charter. City Attorney Connel was Inclined to think that the city was with out an executive head while the legal con troversy was pending. Ho thought , now over , that there was no occasion to spcculati on the proposition , as there was no qucs lion but that the muddle would bo quickly adjudicated. City Clerk Illgby decided to hold the papersIn hla possession until later In the day In the hope that the court would designate the man who should bo legally en titled to receive them. WITHOUT ANY FRICTION. The remarkable smoothness with whlcl the organization of the now council waa accomplished is generally commented on This Is the first tlmo In the history of loca affairs that a new council has succeeded in effecting an organlzallon with absolute harmony and the first tlmo every member lias professed entlro satisfaction with the result. The reduction of the council fron- eighteen to nine members la partially re rponolhlo for this. As Iho committees were reduced and consolidated In proportion , evxch member la compelled to do exactly double the work that fell on each member of the eli council. Dy cutting the committees In half , each committee la made a dcjlrablt. one , and by a little generalship In arranging the consolidations each member of the now councl ! was enabled to get pretty near ! ) what ho wanted without Infringing on the prerogatives claimed by any other member Mercer gets the chairmanship of the com mittee on Judiciary , with second place oa fire , water and police , and also a place ou street Improvement and viaducts , thus giv ing him a voice on three Important commit tees. A very liberal concession to the minority gives Ilurklcy the committee on finance , with second place on public property and bulldlngw ami third on rules. Mount gets the head of paving and sewerage , whlcl becomes a very Important committee under the now arrangement , and ho Is also a mem ber of Judiciary , railway , telegraph and tele phones and street lighting. Stuht Is also satisfied. Ills ambition was to bo chairman of railroads and viaducts , but by tacking tlio viaducts on street Improvements , he was provided with a chairmanship that will en able him to have Immediate charge of his hobby , as well as numerous other important matters in which the south side Is particularly Interested. Stuht Is also a member of finance and claims , and public property and buildings. Dechel gets railway , telegraph and tele phones , together with places on Judiciary , street lighting and rules. Durmcater gets his old committee , with the former police committee work added , and places on judi ciary and paving and sewerage. Karr Is chairman of street lighting , which now In cludes both electric and gasoline lighting and Is also represented on Judiciary , paving and sewerage and railway , telegraph ami telephones. Lobeck , the second minority member , has public property and buildings , with memberships on finance and street Im provement and viaducts. Blnghatn Is as signed to tbo chairmanship of rules , mainly In order to dispose of the necessity for giv ing ono member two committees , and the whole arrangement gives the most equitable division of the councllmanlc prerogatives that has ever beer , accomplished In Omaha , Tax Commissioner Sackett will make no appointment of deputies at present , ns the ar palntmcnts will have to bo authorized by ordinance. An ordinance providing for the organization of his department will soon bo Introduced. The active work of preparing the l-SW assessment will not begin until Septem- bf-i. bu' , In'the meantime an assessment roll must be prepared similar to that which Mr. Sackett prepared for the county. Thie roll sliqwH the ownership of each piece of property subject to taxation , and It Is amended dally to correspond with the chcr. es of title recorded In the office of the ie-g'/itc ' / ) of deeds. Dy this means the list U always kept up to date. To compile a new list from the records In the register's olllco would be a hugo undertaking , but It Is ex pected that the city will bo allowed tu copy the list now in the possession of the county. .Mr. Sackett Is of the opinion that only ono deputy will bo required at present , and the addition of ono or moro clerks will depend ou the difficulty of maldiifr up the assessment roll. MAYOR MOOHKS IS I.V POSSESSION. O/Hve mill HcronU Turned Over to 11 Im. The formal transfer of the mayor's ofilco with Its documents and records from W. J. ' llroatch to Mayor Moores occurred Just bo- foru 5 o'cldck yesterday afternoon. Soon after the writ of mandamus was granted John W. Ilattlu , Mayor Moore's private sec retary , called at the mayor's olllco to ar range an hour for the ceremony. Mr. Uroatch watj absent , but ho had left word with his secretary that he would bo on hand to turn the ofllco over to his successor at 4:30 : o'clock. This arrangement was ac cepted. Mr. Droatch arrived at the city hall soon after 4 o'clock closely followed by his attorneys. Ho spent the Intervening tlmo In confcrlng with them and with City Attorney Connell. For the first time In several days there was no guard at the door and the ofllce was open to nnyono who wished to enter. At the hour mentioned Deputy Sheriff John Lewis served the writ of mandamus. Mr. Uroatch read the document through and cou- ferod for a intnuto with his attorneys. Then lie told the officer that ho proposed to obey the order of the court , but ho wanted It understood that ho did It under protest and a Involuntarily. No ono seenu-d to doubt that statement and a few minutes after Mayor Moores entered with John C , Whartnn and several others. Ho was folluwed by the crowd that had been waiting lu the corridor und In which the old Bolijleru were In a majority. The crowd manlfi-sted Its satis faction with n cheer and Mayor Moorca Im mediately stepped forwactl to where Mr. llroatch wan waiting. Doth parties shook hands all around and Mr. Droatch stated that lila eoerelary had prepared a list of all the property and records ot the ofllco which could easily bo checked up. This task was left to the two secretaries and Mr. llroatch took hla hat and left tbo room. Major Furay was the llrat to offer cou- gratulntlons to Mayor Moores and be pro posed three cheers which wore given with a will. Then tlio crowd surged lu and filed past the mayor who gave each a hcurty hand shako und a graceful greeting. Then they called for a speech and Mayor Moores remarked that ho was glad to eo them all nnd would bo glad to gee each ono ot them whenever they were pleased to call on him. They would 11 ml the door wldo open nnd no policemen to bar the way , Tbo bulk ot tlio visitors dropped out and the mayor went Into his private office where IIB Bpeiit half an hour In talking wlta a dozen or an ot hla friends , who remained to exchange felicitations. Too various city officials dropped In to add their congratula tion ! and received a warm welcome. Tlui first ofilcUl business which Mayor Moore * transacted In thn city hall was ( o receipt for a number of documeuta from the city council which were delivered to him by the city clerk. Attorney John W , Battln baa declined the position of private- secretary for Mayor Moorce. Mr , Moorm tendered this place to Mr , Datlln , and was .dcalroua that , lit * would accept It , especUlly during the expoillon Car. Ac the dutlea cf the omte would Intcr- \ ] fero with Mr , Dattln's prattce , lie preferred to give all hl.i time to lih business. IIKSUI.T IMTliuSKsi Till ! PtHII.IC. Ceticriil KrclltiK of .Sadnfiirllnii oil All SIM cm. On all sides yesterday afternoon could bo heard words of commendation and congratuta. tlon on the decision of the court. Here's what some of the moro prominent citizens said on the outcome of Droatch's struggle to rcmMn In olllco : General John C. Cowln It waa unfortunate for the city that Mr , Uroatch made any rc- slstnnce , and It will bo fortunate If ho makes no further. Aa I understand the case , no other decUlon could have been rendered , Mr. llroatch simply bad no case. General Charles F. Mandcrson All I have to say Is tlmt I'm glad the matter has been amicably settled. Wo can get along much better with ono mayor than with two. Edward E. Howcll I have not followed the case at all. I ran against Mr. Moores for mayor and he received more votes than I did. The ma/orlty ot the citizens of Omaha expressed a preference for him and I think bo should bo really mayor , If ho Is eligible As to lila eligibility , I'm not sufficiently posted to Judge , but I presume ho Is eligible or clso his party would not have nominated him. That'n all I can say In tbo matter , as I have not followed the case at all. Euclid Martin I have always believed that It Is safest to trust to tbo verdict of the people ple In a contcet llko this. The people Ot Omaha expressed their opinion at the last election , and It would bo uinvlso to try to change that verdict. In my opinion , Mr. Droatch made a mistake to go Into this con test , after having been an unsuccessful can didate for the nomination. J. O. PhllllppI That's good ; I'm glad It came out as It did. AMUSEMENTS. Last evening at Boyd'r thcntor tlio Sutorlus Mnndolln orchestra nnd the Glee club of the University of Nebraska gnvo n performance In the presence of n Inmentnbly small nudlcnco. It was a mistaken business policy for Mr. Sutorlus to bring his orchestra before the public so soon nftcr the Initial concc-rt given two weeks ago. The per centage of people who enjoy mandolin music and feel able to afford to nttnnd such per formances Is not sufllclcnt to Insure a satis factory nudlence. It wns hardly fair to the glee club to give thorn ouch nn Introduction to the Omaha public , for their work wns decidedly meritorious. There are several good voices In the club which with training could be developed up to a solo standard. Thcso add materially to Its strength. The training manifested by the ensemble work Is very creditable to their lender. The blending of the voices was usually very sat isfactory , the Intonation almost alv-ays sure and true , the phrasing well-chosen , the pro nunciation distinct , the rythmlc effect pre cise and the general conception of the spirit of each selection comprehensive and intelli gent. As usual In college songs the ele ment of comedy was conspicuous and In Us portrayal they were especially successful , The playing of the mandolin orchestra was somewhat above that of the first concert although there were fewer members present last evening. The stage was not aet so deep , the performers closer together and nearer the proscenium and the tone- came out with much greater clearness. As heretofore the harp solo by Miss Wllhelmlna Lowe was the feature of the performance. She played the Mazurka by Schueckcr , heard for the first tlmu In thla city at the Urso concert last March. Her playing of it last night wa san advance upon its first performance and demonstrated that the young harpist Is not allowing the months to go by unimproved. For an encore she played "A Dream ot By-Gone Days" by Oberthur. Mr. Sutorlus and his orchestra give a concert - cert in Lincoln this evening In conjunction w.ith the glee club. Mine. Teresa Carreuo' will bo heard In concert lu Omaha this week , nppcarlng at Doyd's theater on the evening of Thursday ; May 13. Mmo. Carrcno Is easily the first of living woman pianists , and 'her right to eminence in the ranks of the greatest mas ters of the piano , of both sexes , Is unques tioned. Such rare treats are afforded Omaha music lovers but seldom , nnd It Is expected that the Intcrst manifested In this event will bo fully commensurate- with its importance. Seats will be placed on sale tomorrow for the coming two-night engagement ot "The Lilliputians" at the Crclghton , opening Sunday ' day night In their musical extravaganza , "Tho Merry Tramps. " This organization la well known in Omaha , having scored an unqualified success In previous seasons. The company haa been largely augmented , nnd what Is promised to be an attractive addition Is the introduction of a largo corps de ballet. A special matlueo la announced for1 Monday , May 17. Seats will also bo placed on aalo tomorrow morning for the testimonial benefit to be tendered Frank Lea Short at the Crclghton Saturday night. I OMCI3 MAKE A GOOI1 CAI'TUUE. Arrcnt Tire McMiiltcrH of ( In- Collins AVliIle ' 1'liluvliivr. j About midnight lost night Watchman Peters , in charge of the new Union Pacific viaduct at Fourteenth , street , telephoned the police 'station that two thieves had broken Into some cars belonging to the Hammond company sidetracked nearby. In response to the call Captain Haze nnd Sergeant Her went Immediately to the place designated , and In walking down the track were just In/ time to catch the men at their work. As they neared the cars standing directly back of the Hammond -warehouse the bu.-glara jumped from the open door of one of them and started cast. Each had a car- can of mutton on his shoulder , and when they caught eight of the ofllccrs started to run. 'Thoy were ordered to halt , but In stead threw thu meat to tlio ground' nnd In ) creased their pnco in an. effort to escape. The ofllcers each tired a shot at the fleeing culprits , but neither of the ; bullets appeared to take effect. The thieves disappeared aa though the earth had swallowed them up. Upon search being made by the ofllccrn they were at length found concealed under a freight car , and upon being ordered out re fused to obey. The ofllcorH , by dint of kickIng - Ing and using their fists , dislodged their men andi found they had made a | capture of two of the notorious Collins gang. They marched ( heir prisoners to the switch house at the Thirteenth street crossing and were about to telephone to the fltntlon for the wagon , when tlio larger of the two throw , - quart bnttlo of wliUky nt Sergeant liar. . The inlrallo barely escaped him nnd then the : other man Jumping to his feet and began to . strike right and left at his captors. Ho was assisted by the other nnd then followed ono of the hottest fights which tlicso police Dllicero have engaged In for sonie time. Chilis , revolvers and fists were used freely for a upaco ot five minutes und when the dust cleared away the burglars were forced to , admit their defeat. At the station they gave tbc names ot Jim and James Collins , Jim Collins sus tained a broken no o and several gashes In . his fnco which required the surgeon's reedle , and hlfl cousin was about In the zamo plight. The men were charged wltU burglary. JaitaEs Collins has been a terror to the police far many years and 1ms served no Icea than ) throe terms In the state penitentiary for burglary , Jim Collins just completed a > term 'la tlio state Institution oil a similar charge.

MAYOR MOORES' MESSAGE. Mayor iMooros waa then Introduced t President ningham and the lobby Indulged It another round of applause. The message wai heard with close attention and was followei by another burst of handclapplng. This ' 1 the full text of this message : To the Honorable Members of the City Council : Gentlemen In assuming the duties - ties of chief executive of the city of Omalui I ilo so with u. full realization of the ardu ous tusk and great responsibilities whtcl must necessarily rest upon one called \o \ ae' ' In that capacity. And In the performance o : this duty It slmir be my highest aim tint' greatest ambition to. give to the city 01 Omaha a clean , honeHt , economical am business-like administration. To that end ' bespeak your most earnest , loyal and con sclentlous co-operation , believing * that i realization of tHnt qbject can only be ac compllshcd by the most perfect , cordial am reciprocal relations of mutual trust , con fidence and kindly feeling which Bhouli : at all times exist , between the mayor and the city council.

' of duty , there can h'o but ono result In'the end , that of union and co-operation1 In Securing the. 'greatest good to the greatest ; number. ' CHAIITKU MUST HE 'TRIED. ' The new charter , under which we tnlco control of city affairs , has made many Important and radical changes , the wis dom and policy of which can perhaps only bo properly judged after a fair and Impar tial trial. The law Is nqt of our making , but It lias come down to us for our govern ment from the qnly legally constituted au thority known to the constitution of our state for the enactment of such measures , and inasmuch : m the legal constitutional body , the state legislature , has In Its wis dom deemed best to so modify and change In so many respects the law heretofore ox- Istlng for' the control and management of metropolitan cities , it Is our duty as gtjod citizens to accept most gracefully the law a It Is and by our best endeavors prove Its virtues , shield its' weaknesses , and go on to the upbuilding of a great city with a mighty and prosperous people. Under the new charter your honorable body hns been reduced to half Its former size. Yet .the duties , .and obligations rest-1 Ing upon you as cpuncllmcn remain prac tically the same. This will undoubtedly re quire greater sacrifice to your private and personal Interests' and will appeal more to your patriotism and desire .for good gov ernment in public affairs , thereby demandIng - Ing more hours - Jind greater effort upon your part that the Interests of the city may be properly guarded and protected. Hut I know whereof 1 speak when I say that the history pf your past life has been such as to Warrant the citizens and tax payers In believing that the trust which they have committed to your care will be faithfully and zealously executed , and that public Interests will not bo allowed to suf fer fpr want of proper attention and Judi cious management. Wo enter upon' our duties at a very Im portant period In' the history of our city. We have gone' through with the period of expansion iind abnormal growth , and for the last four- years have been reaping , the fruit of disappointment , financial depres sion and general stagnation In business. Our people have been sorely tried. Aside from the extravagance Inwhich wo In dulged In former years and the consequent depression an a result thereof , our city has leen a common sufferer with other sections of our country In , the general wave of de gression which swept over the United States from 1S92 tp 1SOG. . All these combined have discouraged the most courageous1 hearts. Hopeful men tnive faltered and capitalists have hoarded their wealth , the' fires Imvo gone out of the furnaces , and laboring men have been Idle and at times tmfft'rlng for the common necessities of life , We now have a rare opportunity both to restore confidence In Jnmlm and to encourage private and public sntorprlses which wljl plainly mnko them- iclves manifest during the' coming summer. TAXES SHOULD . BE. DEDUCED. Our taxes'Hhould bo reduce ) ! to the mlnl- Tium commensurate > vlth tie ) good of the -lty and its fuwfraV > osperlty.

Upon ex- tminatlon of i recent report of the comii- roller I find that although only one-fourth f the present llsciiJ. year has expired HOV- ral of the niffdu nre iilready greatly ro- luced or nearly ' .exhausted. About one- bird of the luvy for the general fund has ilready been exp'eiuled , leaving only two- birds of such fund for the use of the city 'or the last three-fourlhn of the fiscal year. n the street llah'tlrtg fund for which u levy f over (50.000 wuH'inado. ' there la leas than 1,000 remaining , In the curbing , guttering md cleaning fund , for which a levy of over 23,000 was made , there Is only about Jl.WO emulnlng. At tlio rate of expenditures rom this fund for the first quarter of the resent fiscal your. It would require tM,009 addition to what . ( a now on hand to arry the city through to the end of the far , It Is manifest from these vtatements hat a halt trust pe called on extravagance md recklessness. Tiio question of party loyalty should not the only qualHU'ullon ror the appoint- nent to otllce , but rather let It be under load that the qualifications ncccxsary for ippolntmunt and confirmation to olllce uhalt e honesty , competency and fidelity , and hat no others need apply. Then will moil ake hope uiruln ; capital will seek Invest- nent ; laboring men v III llnd employment. md once more prosperity und peace will smile upon our city nml we will forgot the imrknew of the nlRht of despondency through which we have passed , HOPE FOU THE FUTUUE. There Is much already to encourage us. The light la already breaking. Oed lias blessed us with nn nbumlnut harvest dur- Inp the year Just passed ; our bins have been tilled to overflowing , and the copious spring rains preparing and watering our rich , pio- ductlvo Nebraska soil give hope nnd prom ise of nnolber bountiful harvest. For all of which \Ve ought to feel grateful to Him who Is tbo llulcr of the universe. Our city Is to bo congratulated upon tbo fact that the remedy for the long felt want of adequate depot facilities Is now about to bo realized , In the years passed every man of pride and ambition living within tbo corporate limits of tbo city of Omaha lias felt the crimson blush of shame conn- to bis check whenever the subject of rail road depots was mentioned. Our city has borne the disgrace and stigma consequent upon such nccommodallons long and pa tiently , until at last corporate greed has yielded hi part to the demands of an out raged public sentiment , nnd we now have the promise of depot facilities In the near future commensurate with cities of the metropolitan class. Then another great encouragement nnd hope to our citizens Is thn location nnd holding of the Trnnsmlsslsslnpl and Inter national imposition in our city from June to November , 1SH No one can measure the beneficial results which this will bring to us ns n people and ns a city. All honor be to those who have so wisely planned and Industriously labored for tbo Inauguration and establishment of the Trniismlsslsslppl nnd International Exposition. The holding of this exposition will necessarily cause the expenditure- enormous sums of money both before nnd during Ihr exposition , and will call thousands of visitors to our city. Whllo all this will be most desirable , yet If tlmt were to bo the only result of the exposition It will have failed of Its real purpose nnd ultimate object. MAKE THE CITY ATTRACTIVE. Our city should bo put In such an at tractive condition that men would be In duced to locate with us , and cnpltnl seek Investment. If this condition of things Is to bu brought about then no time should bo lost , but every energy and nrti-ry of the city should nt once bu set In motion to the cleaning up and beautifying of the city. Many of our streets should be repavod. The boulevards leading to the parks should be planted with ornamental trees nnd the driveways made passable nnd desirable , and tbo work of adorningnnd beautifying the parks Hhould nt once be commenced and prosecuted with nil possible speed. And as far as lays In our power wo should stimu late Individual pride among our citizens to Induce them to beautify their lawny nnd paint nnd decorate their homos nnd busi ness houses , thus giving a general appcnr- nnco of prosperity , beauty und attractive ness to our entire city whereby we onn In- ducu visitors to become renirleiits and for eign capital to become a fund for perma nent Investment. 1 would also urge upon you the necessity of granting every rcnsonablo request anil offer every facility possible liy way of aid and assistance to those charged with the management nnd control of thu exposition. I feel that the resulting benefits from this exposition will bo so great to the city that every department of the elty government should contribute Its full quota and best endeavors to the success of this great en terprise. I also Invite your most earnest considera tion to HIP enactment of snob ordinances as will tend to preserve law and order In all parts of our city and demonstrate to the people who shall visit us that we arc Indeed n lawabidingnnd self-respecting people. To this end I respectfully Invite your attention to the necessity of enacting such ordinances or amendments to present ordinances for police regulation as will cn- ible us to abolish all wlnerooms and close tlio low dives and disorderly resorts which frequently Infest a city , producing crime , Immorality In Its lowest form , nnd disor derly conduct , thereby bringing the city into disgrace and disrepute. As chief ex ecutive of this city I shall give my best endeavor to the suppression nnd clo.'lng of all such places , and It will DC my purpose and ambition to fully enforce the laws reg ulating all places of amusement and private or public resorts. The new charter creates the ofllce of tax eammLssionor and makes it his duty to asseso all the property of the city that Is taxable. This Is a very Important nnd re sponsible position , ns it is the means wneroby wo nro permitted to raise the revenue necessary for meeting the current expenses of our municipality. As the char ter does not provide for clerks nnd assist ants necessary to carry out this work I hereby request that you enact such br- Uluances ns may be deemed wise and pru dent , after duo . consideration , as.nro neces- " nary to carry out successfully this branch of the work of the city government. ' PURCHASING THE WATER WORKS Within a short Period of time the fran chisegranted by this city to the Ameri can Water Works company will have exp - p red. It Is the prevailing opinion of our citizens tlmt municipal ownership of the water works IM a thing much to be desired that It would not only bo a great Having of water rents , but also a great source of revenue , thereby lessening the burden of general taxation. With this sentiment nnd idea I fully concur and recommend to your honorable body thnt you take such steps In thp near future ns may bo deemeil wise and just to all parties concerned with n view of the city becoming- the ultimate owner of said water works. As I become more familiar with the char ter and the ordinances governing our ellv I shall from time to time claim the right ns mayor of communicating with you by message , calling your attention to the enactment of such new ordinances or the repeal of old ones as will in my Judgment best tend to sub-servo and promote the ponce , good morals , finances , prosperity and welfare of our people. .And In conclusion , gentlemen , let me say that I believe you will all .ioln me In , every possible way In maintaining the present high standard of our city. Wo all have reason to bo Proud of our financial Bland- Ing , our bonds being floated nt a very low rate of Interest , and then frequently sell ing upon the markets of the world at quite a premium. Our many excellent schools nnd our numerous and magnificent churches' are all u Just source of pride nnd gratifica tion , and are indicative of an intellectual " f moral standing among- the pco- Again assuring you of my earnest deslit to act In harmony with you In all matters affecting the material welfare and pros perity of our city I have the honor , and by the verdict of the people nnd the Judg ment of the courts the legal right , to at tach my official signature hereto , which 1 now do with sincere respect and good wishes for each member of your honorable body.

Catarrh of the stomach hns long been con sidered the next thing to Incurable. The usual symptoms arc n full or bloating sensa tion after eating , accompanied sometimes with a sour or watery risings , a formation of gases , causing pressure on the heart and lungs nud dlfllcult breathing , headache , flcklo appetite , nervousness and a general played out , languid feeling. There Is often n foul taste In the mouth , coated tongue , nnd 'If ' the Interior of the stomach could be seen It would show a slimy. Inflamed condition. I The euro for this common and obstinate trouble Is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily and tlwr- oughly digested before It has tlmo to ferment nud Irritate the dcllcato mucous surface of the stomach To secure a prompt and healthy digestion Is the ono necessary thing to do , niitl yvhcn normal ill- Kestlou is secured the Matarrlml condition will have disappeared , it'/ ' ' ' ' ' According to Dr. Harlandson the safest and best treatment Is to use after each meal tablet composed of Diastase , Aseptic Pcps-In , a llttlo Nux , Golden Seal and Fruit Acids.
