meeting ot the Judiciary committee at the
city hall yesterday afternoon when the
Board of Education was Invited to submit
iwhalovcr evidence it had to offer In support
ot Ita resolution toy which the Investigation
, - wasdemanded. . Councllmcn Mercer , Karr ,
Mount nnd Burmeatcr were present. The
( Board of Education was represented by Its
attorney , Q. W. Covell , nnd Chief Gallagher ,
Captains Haze and Mostyn and Chief o5 Do-
itcctlvcs Cox of 'the pollco dcpirtmcnt also
dropped In. t
Chairman Mercer of the committee stated
Jn the beginning that the meeting woa
purely preliminary in order to give the
Board of Education an opportunity to make
a showing , after which the council would
decide 'whether itho evidence was suniclcne
to warrant on Investigation. Attorney
Covell said that ha had no charges to make.
Ho had received mo instructions from the.
Board ot Education and was merely present
at the request of the committee. He stated
Ihat ho .had Memo evidence In his posses
sion Which had coma to him from other
sources , anil which the committee could as
certain by calling him as a witness. Ho
refused to throw any light on the matter
except as a witness.
Judge Qordon made n couple of speeches ,
In the course ot wSiIch he declared that while
ihUi Judgments might notj have been Infallible
In all cases , ho had no apologies to make
to the committee or anyone else. He con
tended that It was not proper for the opln
lonn ot any ono person to bo taken as evil'
dcncc , when the records ot the pollco court
nver o subject to inspection and would show
the facts. Ho maintained that any effort to
make a showing In any other way woulii
end In wind.
This and the incidental discussions occu
pied about an hour and at the end ot that
tlmo the committee decided ! that It had noth
ing before it on which to act. It was de
cided to return the resolution of the ( Board
of 'Education ' to the council with a recom
mendation that It bo placed on file and the
statement that If the Board ot Education
mould fllo any specific charges that were
susceptible ot Investigation they would betaken
taken up and ventilated at any time.

Councllnicii nivldc'il on tlic 'Matter of
n for Street I.tirhtlngr.
There is likely to bo eomo difference ol
opinion among city officials In regard to th&
contract .for g > ja street lights for the next
three years. The question Is solely on the
merits of the Wclsbach burner at $30 a yeai
as compared with the ordinary gas lamp at
$23. As a matter of fact there Is no real
competition 'between ' the t\\o companies.
The Welsbach company has made arrange
ments to buy its gas from the local gaa
company In case It geta the contract , and
H Is consequently merely a question whether
the improved burner is worth ? 5 a jcar addl.
tional. The ordinary gas lamp gives twenty
candle-power , while the Welstach burner
.produces about eighty : A number of city
officials say that it would undoubtedly be a
great advertisement for the city to have the
improved lights , during the exposition , but
others contend that the -price is too , high ,
They assert that If It would , bo a good ad
vertisement for the city , it would bo an
Kf * equally good advertisement for the Welsbach
company , and that the city In not in a posi
tion to make any -additional drafts on the
lighting fund , which is already seriously
overdrawn.
The representative of the Welsbach com
pany says that he Is going to have a number
of the burners put in on the principal streets
of the city In , order that the public may
have an opportunity to compare them with
If the lamps now In use. and it Is very likely
that the question ot awarding the contract
will not too decided until ho baa had : an
opportunity to show what ho can do.

The water question In the city council has
now reached a stage at which It requires a
good memory to remember Its various con-
voluitlors. The first move was made by the
exposition management in a communication ,
which was practically a request that the city
should walvo the right ot purchase of the
plant In 1003 in return for frco water for the
exposition. The communication and an or-
dltiauco carrying It Into effect were referred
to the committee on flro , water and police.
Then Stuht chipped In with a resolution de
claring against the ordinance end providing
that Che city should take Immediate stepta
to furnish the exposition with water Inde
pendently ot the water company. This went
to the same committee and the repor.t was
returned without recommendation , but with
n statement from City Engineer Ucsowatcr
showing itho cost of providing water by pur-
chuoa at meter rates in case the water com
pany could bo compelled to sell the water.
Then W" . S. Topploton secured an injunc
fe tion restraining 'the council from taking auj
further action In the matter , and aboul
twenty of the heaviest property owners In
the city united In a politico asking the coun
ell not to waive < ho right of purchase.

The Advisory BloanJ mot yesterday after
noon and awarded the contracts for mnnlcl
pal supplies , for 189S. The printing and sta
tlonory contract was divided among the
Omaha Printing company , the Klopp-TJart

Oiany. The bulk of the Items were very
equally divided between the awe flrst named
establishments. The board considered oacl
Item separately Instead ot awarding the en
tire 'contract to the bidder who struck the
( lowest a\orage. It Is expected that this tys
ton -will do away with the abuses that have
developed In previous years in connection
with the printing contract , In addition to

Action of Hie City Council In Con-
tipodnn wllli Uncollroteit Tnxrn.
The effect of ono resolution -which was
adopted by the city council Tuesday night will
bo to theoretically elevate the municipality
from poverty to comparative affluence. It
directs the comptroller to add to the avail
able balances In the various funds as they
stand en his books the uncollcctcd tax bal
ances for the past four years , which amount
to $ 173.734.10. Of this amount | G2,131.GS
belongs to the school fund and the balance
of $411,002.42 Is to bo distributed In proportion
tion among the municipal funds. While the
change docs not actually add a dollar to the
city treasury It authorizes a tremendous ad
ditional Issue of Tvamais. Under the law
no warrants can bo drawn when thcro are
no funds available , ibut BO long as there U
a. theoretical balance in a fund It can bo
drawn against whether the tax has actually
been collected or not. According to the
comptroller's statement of November 1 , the
ontlro cash balance In the hands of the city
treasurer , Including all funds , was $98,169.88.
The act of adding the uncollcctcd taxes to
the cash balance gives a total .balance of
$509,762.30. against which warrants may 'bo
drawn. The condition ot tbo funds will

According to the records of the Omaha
public library , the people of Omaha take an
unusual interest In the exploration of the
farther north. It Is known that the Amer
ican public are In the habit of reading for
relaxation and the Indices of public reading
given in lltcrt'.ry magazines alwajn show
books of fiction far in the lead. The Anglo-
Saxon spirit of adventure , however , which
has peopled the world with that race has
created a general admiration for the under
takings of contemporary Scandinavians , In
want of moro daring contemporary explorers
of our own. Omaha readers are no excep
tion to others and equal In popularity with
eiich works of fiction as "Quo Vadls" and
"Tho Choir Invisible , " the library records
show books of Arctic travel , led , of course ,
by Nanscn's "Farthest North. " Accounts of
Andrce's balloon flight and the "Life of Nan-
sen" also spend but little ot their tlmo on-
the library shelves.
The demand for Nanscn's book Is worthy
of note. It was placed under the "seven-
day rule" upon its acquirement shortly after
it was Issued and -has been given no rent
since. Several other copies were purchased
without apparently caolng the pressure. Atone
ono tlmo during the summer tbcro were
forty applications for the loan of It on flic
at the library window , which would almost
mean an economy of time for the last patron
on the list to take the trip on his own ac
count. At present there are eighteen "regis
tered applications for It , which otters all the
applicants a prospect of its perusal within a
reasonable period of weeks. The probable
delay for the last man , however , Is Indicated
by the fact that the borrower who secured
it yesterday had flled his application on
August 19.
Besides contemporary , matter on this sub
ject the library Is well stocked In Arctic
literature of the past and presents a fairly
consecutive record of the evolution of polar
achievements. The oldest volume Is ono
written by Sir J. Barrow" on the "Chronolog
ical History of. Voyages Into the Arctic Re
gions , " and covers the period from 861' ' to
1818 , A. D. , in which latter year the book
was published. Following expeditions arc
treated In the forty-four other ) books avalla'-
bio on this subject and include the memoirs
of such men as Sir John Franklin , Slmmes ,
Dr. Kane , Greelcy , Blake , Hayes , Keene ,
McCllntoclc and Alarkham. Fiction with
plots laid In the northern regions Is also at
hand , in which Jules Verne is represented
by several volumes. Thcro are also ofllclRl
reports from the War department ! of the ex
peditions to Lady Franklin Bay , Grinncll
Land and to fort Barrow , Alaska.

The city appears to bo rapidly filling up

which haa Just moved hero from some ot
ho surrounding states. The mayor says that
the county will not furnish an applicant
with coal unless he has lived in the state a
certain length of tlmo , and that within the
ast few days ho has had a nunihc : * ot calls
or fuel from persons who had bscn refuted
by the county authorities. Very tov o. ' the
residents of South Omaha have found it nec
essary to request aid from cither the city or
county this winter , but the calls from strang
ers" are on the Increase. Those who have
corno hero say that 'they ' heard of the boom
limes and struck out with just enough to
? ot "here , hoping that they would have no
difficulty in finding employment. Ten weeks
from now there will bo plenty ot v\orl ; for
thofle who desire It , as plenty of building
will bo going on then , but just now thcro is
not a great demand for labor.
Mayor Ensor seems to think that the
county ougbt to furnish fuel for destitute
people , provided the city supplies ihu food
and clothing , and ho hopes to make some
such arrangements before long.
