Another piece of Important business to be
considered Is In connection with the na
tional encampment of the Sons of Veterans , ,
-which will bo held la this city during the
exposition This cnrampiccnt was Invited

"Forty dajs from the rising of the court , "
ot the sitting of which Joseph S. Hartley
waH condemned by the supicmo tribunal of
Nebraska to undergo the sentence and pen
alty passe } upon him by the district court
In Douglas county , expire today. These
forty dajs were supposed to limit the tlmo
of lartle ) > 's stay In the Douglas county
Jail , but ho will be among us , though not
of u.3 foi jet n fe.v dajs. Sheriff McDono.ll
lias ns jet received no ropy of the mandate
from the supreme court ordering the re
moval of the prisoner from the Jail to the
penitentiary , and It Is apparent that ho will
not for some dajs to come. Last week
Hartley' * : attornojs filed a motion for a
rchcnrhig with the supreme court , and this
matter remains to be passed upon. H Is
understood that Clerk Campbell of the supreme
premo court rules that the flllng of the mo
tion ncl.s ns a stop to the Issuance of the
mandate necessary to carry the sentence
Into effect , anJ that there will be no Issue
imtll the motion ban been disposed of by
the court.
At the time the supreme court handed
down Its opinion affirming the findings and
KMiUuico ot the lower court thcro were
rumors that Hartley would make an ( it-
tempt to escape from custody ot the sheriff.
It was raid that ho might take advantage
of the dcgrco of liberty that was accorded
him during his appeal to the supreme court
niii ) make his escape from the county Jail.
Thcso rumors hava so far proved giound-
less. When the sentence of the trial court
was affirmed Hartley WAH shorn of his privi
leges and was icmovcd to the strongest part
of the Jail. Ho Is given no special con-
elderatlon wl.utever. Whllo his stay In
Omaha may bo a little moro prolonged , he
will bo kept as secure as any other of the
men detained against their will In Jail.

The 'Men's Clan of Trinity Methodist
church held a very Interesting meeting last
night. Iho chief feature of the mcctlne
wag the debate on tlio question , "Kcsolvrd.
That Hawaii should bo annexed. " Dr. Teal
and Oliver Auchmoedy afllrmcd nnd I ) . C.
Fowler and A. C. Kngltr denied the ques
tion.
tion.Mr.
Mr. Audi moody said that It was a ques
tion of either annexing Hawaii or allowing
name foreign power to assume control ot the
Islands. Hawaii In the hands of a. foreign
power would Imperil our commerce and our
safety.
The- gist of Mr. Fowler's argument wns
tint what wo need Is bolter laws and legis
lation and not more territory. With Hawaii
annexed wo would enjoy no more privileges
than we do now. Moreover Hawaii's sugar
Industries v ould Imperil ours and Its Igno
rant population Is unfit to becomecltlrens. .
l > r. Teal contended that the reciprocity
treaty with Hawaii admits Its sugar free
lo 'he United States , hence annexation could
tint affect the sugar Interests. Under United
Rtatts laws contract labor would bo abolished
and the nsult would bo a great change In
the populitlon. When some other power
Kr.its Hawaii tlio United States will 'be ' com
pelled to defend It because of the protect
orate ? 82umed , so It would bo better to nu-
uex It while It can bo donn In pcaco.
IJolo anJ his pirty. said Mr. Hnglcr , oe-
throncd Qucci : Lll and established a pro-
vUlonary government for the solo purpose
of gaining Hawall't admission to the United
States. The Europeans and Americans In
Ilavnll arc -the only perscns who desire nn-
nc-xatlon and they should not bo allowed to
overpower the majority , who arc opposed.
The regular monthly meeting of the Young
Women's Christian association wes held In
the rooms of the association In the I'axtou
block last evening. Mrs Tlldcn presided.
The reports of work accomplished during the
month as read by Mlsa Caily were most
gratifying. Among other announcements It
was stated that 5.20S noon Juhchers had vla-
Iteil the rooms during the month , with an
average of 173 per day. Thirty-eight edu
cational classes were established , ' with a
membership ef 223. The gospel meetings
brought out an attendance ot 300. Following
the reading of the reports It was decided to
select six contestants for a membership con
test , the one having secured the largest num
ber ot new names by Juno 1 to be given a
life membership ticket In the association.
Those who were selected by ballot were Mls-j
Margaret Thomas , Mrs. A. M. Ferguson ,
MUs Kate Swartzlander. Miss Grace Llllle ,
Mrs. D. J. Udwards nnd iMlss < Xella Ilalleu-
borlc.
Following the 'business ' meeting a St. Val
entine's party was given In the largo room
of the association by the members of the
Wednesday evening gjmnasluin class. Mrs.
Nichols aetcd ns master of ceremonies. The
program Included "tragedy , " "nuts to crack , "
"comedy , " "cake walk" and refreshments

Prof. William Windsor , phrenologist ,
opened so\eral nights' engagement at Crelgh-
ton hall last evening to a large audlencw.
I'rof Windsor gave nn exhaustive account
of the field covered by phrenology end Illuo-
trated hts remarks by chaits , skuKs and
other apparatus. He d'scussed ' the scientific
side of the study , and made plain to his
nudlcnco maay little details of cranial re
search , which heretofore had been veiled In
obscurity In the minds of many of them.
The lecture woo the first of a eerles which
will bo given , covering such topics as "How-
to Dccomo Rich , " "How to Become Hand
some , " "Matrlmonj" end others. The first
three lectuies will bo free to the public.
Among the novelties which I'rof. Windsor
will introduce Friday night will be the se
lection from his audience of young men and
women whoso temperaments are peculiarly
adapted to one another and to wham he will
recommend marriage. In his lecture la.U
night the phllawphy of magnetism and elec
tricity wag touched upon , and many humor
ous experiments resulted from the develop
ing ot subjects from the audience. In his
lecture Prof. Windsor showed that magnetism
was a controlling factor In the true law of
selection , as It exists between the sexeh.
The subject will bo explained more exten-
elveljIn future lectures.
A pleasant muslcalo was given last evenIng -
Ing at the residence of Mrs. M. O. Maul ,

At the meeting of the 'Board of Flro am
Police Commissioners last night a co-mmunl
cation was submitted from the chief ot po
lice In regard to the Insufficient number o
patrolmen on hand. It rccommendc <
an Immediate addltlfn of forty policemen
and twenty detectives to the force to ade
quatoty cover the city during the coming
year. The statement was made that the
present number of patrolmen , waa tnsufll
olent even under present conditions nnd tha
the force In active patrol duty did not a
present exceed fifty mn. Another portion o
the plan Is to appoint ten special oniccrc
next June who have had experience In the
police service of other cities and who are
familiar with the croaks of their particular
towns. The matter was taken under consld
oration by the board.
Most of the session was consumed In n
lengthy contest against the granting ot a
liquor license to Fred H. Krug at 182
Charles street. The objections were ralnci
that the site was within three blocks of the
Kclloiu school , that it faced on Nlnetcentl
street , n boulevard much In use -for famllj
driving , and that a taloon there would ma
tcrlally Injure surrounding property Inter
ests The genuineness of several signatures
on the applicant's petition were called Into
doubt. The defense produced W. F. Web
bcr , who testified that all the names on the
petition weie property holders , according to
the records , and Charles How ell , who vva8
able to state that tie had seen all of the
lames on the petition signed by their re
spective owners. The point was also made
that the neighborhood was la a measure a
business localltj- . The case was taken undci
advUoment until the special meeting Fri
day night.

The city council held a short session last
night with only sK members present , Messrs.
Bennett and Trainer being absent. An orai-
nanco providing for n special tax to pay the
cost of sidewalks In the permanent uldcvvnlk
district was passed and the city clerk wars
'instructed to draw warrants for $430 In favor
cf A. Stutzer , the contractor , for the walks
laid. The ordinance assessing a special tax
to pay for the Missouri avenue sewer was
passed without opposition. This plan pro
vides for a graduated assessment according
to the benefits. Property owners petitioned
for a sidewalk on the cast sldo ot Thlrtj-
ntnth street , from Q to U street , and the
document was referred to the committee on
streets and alleja An acceptance of the
new gas frmchlso ordinance was filed bj
Mccsrs. Flynn , Crcssey nnd Wyman , and the
bond of the new company was accepted.
Judge Chrlstmann reported that of the po
lice court fines for January $20 50 had been
turned Into the school fund. Tieasurer
Broadwell reported a balcuce of $ SCC81 on
hand at the close of buslneos January 31.
Attorney A. II. Murdock , who was em
ployed to Investigate the records In the
Charles Lund damage suit to see If It would
bo possible to reopen the case and fict aside
the Judgment obtained , filed n lengthy re
port giving a history of the case in detail
According to hU opinion the city could not
very well at this late day have the caoa
reopened. Schultz secured an order for the
street commissioner to clean the six inches
of mud off the west end of the Q street
viaduct and to repair the sidewalk on the
west side of Twenty-eighth street , between
Q and S street. Vonsant obtained the ecu-
sent of the council for repairs to the walk
on the cast side of Twcntj'-thlrd , between
M end N street , and Kelly worked through
an order for the repair of the crosswalk at
Twcntj-seventh and I streets. Crossings In
bad repair were reported at Twenty-fiist and
I streets nnd Twentieth and J streets. The
committee on streets and allejs will bo re-
oueuted to Investigate these crossings. Peti
tions signed by residents of this cltj' . of
Ilellevue and Sarpy county , protesting against
the lajlng of a track across Bellevue avenue ,
were read and rcfened to the street and
alley committee. Adjourned until February

A petition Is being circulated requesting
the city council to grade Twenty-third street
from O to S street , and It is understood that
many of the propoity owners In this locality
are In favor of the movement. Hev. D , W.
Morlarty , pastor of St. Agnes' church , con
templates the erection of a parsonage on
tbo church property at the southeast corner
of Twenty-third and Q streets and Is anxious
to have the Direct graded before he com
mences building. Property owners on Twen
ty-second street would like to bo Included
In this grading district , provided It Is created
In order that the cost of filling lots on that
street might bo reduced. The dirt could betaken
taken from Twenty-third street and filled In
the low places with only a slight expense , as
the haul would bo u short one , In the prn-
filetj of Twenty-third street there would be
a cut of five feet at Q street and a cut of
the rime depth at P street. Some of the
property owners residing In this locality do
not think that the cut would bo deep enough
at P street , and the city engineer may bo
requested to make a change In the profile
wheti the tlmo for action comes , In case the
proposed grading on Twenty-third street Is
dona It would bo advisable , It Is thought , to
make a cut on Q street between Twenty-third
and Twenty-fourth streets , In order to do
away with the hill which now stands be
tween the church and Twenty-fourth street.
This petition for this grading will most
likely bo presented to the city council within
a short tlmo In order that the work may bo
done a a early In the spring as practicable.

The present condition of the streets Is
causing a great many taxpajers to talU
over the proposition to compel prisoners
who are confined in the city Jail for minor
offenses to work out their fines on the
streets. At this time of the year the street
repair and general funds are always low-
ana especially ls this true of the present
tlmo on account of heavy expenditures dur
ing the early part of the fiscal > car. It
costs the city In the uclghborhooJ of 40
cents a dajto feed each prisoner detained
at the city Jail and many taxpayers appear
to bo In favor of putting these men ; it
work piling the mud up so that wagons
could haul the accumulation away. \Si <
that matter It has been suggested that the
mayor or chief of police might detail an
officer to watch these- prisoners and ECO
that they performed their duty and did not
escape. A number of property owners have
talked with some of the members of the
city eouncll about this matter and It possi
bly may receive the attention of that body
In the near future.
In
Merchants In the business part of tbo city
are complaining about auction firms being
allowed to do business on the principal
streets of the city , The city ordinances pro
vide a licence for auction stores at the rate
of 1 60 a year , This Is considered far too
low by the merchants and H In possible that
requests will be made to the council to In
crease this fee. One auctioneer on N itre t
who recently went out of builness procured
license at the regular rate , but another
atoro of the tame kind ) Is now running with
out A license , llurlnssg men claim 4hftt
something ought to 5 > o Oono to protect them ,
especially &e the cjty Is ll&blo to be full of

In connection wllh'Jlqcnsc matters , the city
authorities are liable to have n llttlo trouble
with an Omaha firm of house movcre , who
have moved ft building down from Omaha
mid left It standlnglniihc ntrcet at Fifteenth
and Missouri avenue ? Several attempts
have been made by llo ) city engineer and
license Inspector to sec the movers of the
building , but co far tliclr efforts have been
unsuccessful. Local house movers are com
pelled to take out ; a license , costing $50 a
3 car and they urge tlmt the ordinance bo
enforced when outside movers haul buildings
Into this city. In the present case the build
ing has been left In the street so as to
occupy nearly all of < the room and make It
almost impossible for a vehicle to pass ,
AVnnt Hewer
Property owners In the northern part of
the city and west of Twenty-fourth street
are prepirlng n. petition for n ten-Inch
sewer from A to D streets to be laid In the
alley between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-
fifth streets. A sewer was built last fall
extending from I ) to II streets along this
allcj' , but It Is now desired to xtend It
clear to A street In order to take care ot the
largo number of residences north of D
street. Many of ( ho propertj- owners In this
proposed now district arc non-residents nnd
some trouble has been cxprlenced In ob
taining the necessary signatures , but those
Interested assorted jcstcrday that before
long the petition , would represent the re-
qulislto number ot feet frontage and would
then bo submitted to the1 city council.

cookery In the schools , they would under
stand the relation of food ? to health and
the proper way of preparing them. This
country Is rich In the fleshy fungi which 1 :
allowed to go to waste through Igncranco
of thtlr value.
During the course of her remarks Mm.
rtorcr prepared ccveral dalr.ty nnd palatable
dishes. The first , n cornboond , which was
very simple and especially desirable for chil
dren , Tbo next dish was nome meat balls
from the tough parts ot the beef , followed
by some caramel custards , French omelet
and omelet souffle. Mra. Itorer said several
times dmtTTK tha nftcrnocci that cooking was
really \erj- easy work , nnd that It was a
real rest to her to cook dinner for ten or

Our now 1898 Spring stocks are now about ready.
We will put them on sale in a few days. Before/
commencing this , our twenty-sixth season in Omaha ,
and our first Spring season in the new store , wo would
like to hear from anybody who has been in any way
dissatisfied with past dealings in this store. During
the season just closed wo have sold almost three
times as many goods as in any previous season and
it would bo strange indeed if there wore not some
who had moro or less eauso for complaint. If any
such there be , wo will deem it a special favor if they
will communicate- with ns cither personally or by
mail. It is our aim that The Nebraska shall bo neb
only a safe store but a faultless store as near as
that can be. Any complaints or grievances will bo
investigated and adjusted as promptly and cheerfully
as you can desire. Send in complaints. No matter
how trivial or how old.
