The p rk commissioners nas decided to
again take up the Question o ! the construc
tion of the lirldges ncroas tbe exposition
lagoon. President Tukey has calle-a a special
mfeting at " o'clocV : this afternoon for
< hat purpose. The plan as now contemplated"
is to entirely drop the expensive plans sub
mitted 4 > y the exposition architecte and JJP-
gin on a new hafcls. It is believed that
whlln the previous plans were highly
artistic , they were unnecessarily heavy and
extravagant. In fact each of the bridge
companies that submitted prnposkiouE states
that the -plans as proposed called lor
ridiculously heavy structures and that If the
strains "were calculated irom an engineering
standpoint it would be found that tbe
brldgus could be .built . at a great reduction
in cost.
Since then the members of the iboard have
been looking up the matter and they are
convinced that the bridges can be built for
less than S10.000. They propose to advertise
fur specification ! ; and 'bids at once each
bidder to Bubrnlt tbe Bpecificatlons onwhlcb
hib bid is "baved Tliese must all .follow a
specified general outline which has been
prepared by the engineering department ol
tht city , Thit U > practically Cooper's plans ,
-which are accepted as standard 'bridge plans ,
but each bidder will he left free to work
oui the details according to his own practice
l < t is believed that by < thls mean * materially
liBtter figures can -be secured. The hoard
wfll then let the contract on what appears
to 1 * the Biral Ibid , taking .bach &pbclfictalotit >

pocted that active work on the hridgce will
be In progress amctlme next .month.

Preparations lor the holiday season have
been made at the Omaha Public library with
nt much care as by private institutions which
have iirovieloned aod advertised themselves
ior the Chrlstmofc trade in the hope of in
creased gain rather than lor tbe public good.
In the spirit o ! th ? times tb - management of
the library has placed its wares , before the
public in .a full ll&t of books partaking of A
Christmas character. This has been recently
published in a pamphlet -form and IB a bulle
tin of every -variety of Christmas books , it.
fiction , poetry , sermons , history and child
literature. The 11 contains the titles of
nerr j300 books and storieh , the whole rcpre-
fionting tn Immense amount of labor. The
1ioo\e \ were selected with lt6 difhculty bj
running through the library catalogue , but
It wat. only pOKblble to classify the Christmas
stories and poems by culling the mass ol
magazine literature which ie contained in tbb
library , hound but unclassified , arfor exam
ple , the esBay , "Christmas in Dutch New

bulletin ffcpenially for the jiurpottof Christ
ma progrtmt in the public schools. Tbo
bulletins have been mailed to each teacher ia

Christmas dialogues , recitations , etc. Most
ot the ftB'.ectiane in tbe children's portion
ere taken irom sucn magazines ut the St.

of this sort. The library U well wtocked with
files of these periodical and i * provided with

There is still quite u religious air about

tbe habitues , as a Jesuit of tbe recent pres
ence there of W. IM. Acer , a Fremont resi
dent.
Acer is a Salvationist and is a promineut
mtinber of the army nt rremrat He wan
crrefited by Deputy United States Marshal
Allan on the charge of mailing unmaikible
mutter. He rectatly missed a horse and
buggy and BUfj ecte3 an acquaintance of tak
ing a Tig. He informed this acquaintance on
a T/cf > talcard of bis eusjrlciro and incident
ally stated that he never thnupat he wut a
thief. The ucquaintEQce took umiirage at
this and called Ihe attention of the district
tittorney to tie matier A * ' it is an oHense
cgainet th laws o' the United SUiteE to call
a man u. thief on a postal cord Acer was
arrested.
Just liefore "his " hearing 'before United
States -Ci.rcmiBEloner Ajidertion , Acer was
taken into the nxarshal'B ofQce and while
there was given permission to go into tbe
private office. In the prcsnnce of Marshal
Thummel and iDeputy Allan he went down
on his knees. He prayed that God would
heap blessings itpon the head of tbe mar
shal , the deputy , thn Jufl-ge and everybody
else connected with the court and eoncludud
by praying that he would not be compelled
to remain behind prison bart , Deputv Allan
was guarding him all the while and when
he finished he was taken hetore the com
missioner ,
Acor's prayer was partially answered. He
was 3 > ound over to the grand Jury on the
charge preferred , against him , but he was
not compelled to go to jail "He uccecded
In securing the required bond and was there
for given his liberty It remains to lie seen
whether his prayer regardinc the federal
officers will lie granted.
