The city council last evening took the first steps In the way of the Inauguration of the paving campaign that Is promised for this season by instructing the city engineer to draw up the necessary ordinance for the repaying of Fourth street from Broadway to Worth and Willow avenue from ( Main to Third street. The resolution giving the engineer these Instructions evoked some dis cussion , but It related wholly to the charac ter of the material to bo used. * No opposi tion whatever was apparent to the proposi tion to take up the old rotten and disease- breading wooden blccks and replace them with permanent pavements. The resolution as originally Introduced provided that the pavement on 'Fourth street should be of asphalt , but the city clerk called attention to the fact that the engineer could not specify that material for -the reason that the council had never adopted any specifications for asphalt pavements. Alderman Tlrough opposed the use of asphalt and favored vitri fied brick , which would bo cheaper and fully as durable , an.l would leave all , or nearly all. of the cost at home. City "Engineer " Tostcvln stated that asphalt would cost about HO per cent more than brick. Alderman Met- calf favored asphalt , but was willing to have good brlek , and Alderman Atkins coincided with him. After some further discussion the asphalt feature was dropped and the resolu tion specified vitrified 'brick ' for both 'pieces of pavement. The ordinance will be reported at the next meeting of the council , which will be on ( Monday night. After clearing away some minor routine business the council took up the general ap propriation ordinance and spent an hour dis cussing It. Alderman Graham thought the amount fixed for the salary of the mayor was too small , not commensurate with the dignity and responsibility of the ofilce , and asked that It bo Increased by the addition cf $300. The mayor called attention to the fact that the appropriation ordinance would not amen'J ' any existing ordinances , and the amount named In the appropriation ordi nance would not change the salary of the mayor , which was already fixed by ordi nance. The matter finally reached a vote and four of the aldermen voted nay , which killed the motion to Increase. No definite conclusions wcro reached concerning nny other portions of the appropriation schedule , although Alderman Casper made a strong fight for a largo allowance for the HBO or the committee on streets anJ alleys , of which he Is chairman. The amount fixed for the year's expenses was $8,000 , and this , ho claimed , was entirely too small for the needs of the department. The matter wont over for further consideration , Mrs. Mary Lacy notified the council that the conditions of the contract with the city by which the city was to pay the taxes on the lots used tor pound purposes had not been observed , nnd that three years' taxes were unpaid. She also notified the council that she had soli the lots and desired to terminate the contract , and gave notice that the pound should bo removed at once. The matter was referred to the committee on police and health with power to act and Instructed to pay the taxes If found to bo required by the agreement with Mrs. Lacy. The semi-annual bill of the city water works company for $13,075 was ordered paid. The judiciary committee reported that It hail examined the case of Lewis \Vatnon , who asked to tbo awarded $1,500 for Injuries received by falling on an alleged defective sidewalk on Harrlsou'utrcet , and found that ho was not entitled to recover , and notifying the city that ho had begun suit In the dis trict court. The LakeManawa Railway Construction company filed lu written acceptance of the streets and alleys that are to be used In tbo construction of Us line * to But Omaha and other places In the city. The streets and alleys designated are all of those mentioned In the original ordinance. Sherman S , ( Harden was the only bidder for the brick walks ordered 'by the council , ; n < | his bid was referred to the city cngl- lieer. i Clirlfttlnn Tnlcm United States Marshal George M. Christian assumed charge of the office In this city yes terday. Ho arrived here early ycsterda > morning and spent the day In the federal building , checking up the olllce with his iccdcccssor , Frank P. Bradley. The transfer was made without any break or Interruption In the business of the ofilce. Marshal Brad- ley's deputies went ahead and discharged tlielr duties , with the only difference that In the evening they reported to the new- head of the department Instead of the old. A number of the old deputies will continue to servo until they are replaced by the nowlj appointed men. Marshal Christian denied the published statements that he had ap pointed all of hU deputies , and declared that ho had only appointed -Mr. Hrdrlck , of Ot. tumwa , who to to bo Itio chief deputy and have charge of the office. Ho admitted that the others may have been selected but de nied that he had authorized the publication of any of the names with the one exception mentioned. Ho thought , however , that Mr. McNaught of Clinton might bo assigned to this part of the state as field deputy. The other deputies mentioned as having been' ap pointed but not confirmed by the marshal himself , arc John Willis of Perry , field dep uty for DCS Molnes ; John McCormack , at Kcokuk , and Mr. Delmange- the southern central district. The eastern district Is to bo filled by some man from Mount Pleasant. A splendid chance to mako" largo profits on a rcnall investment of money. Will bear investigation. Wrlto or call on L. W.

Nestlebush was arrested nt his homo In Omaha yesterday by deputy United States marshals from this side on the charge of having used the malls for fraud ulent purpcscs. Nestlebush Is a traveling salesman nnd solicitor for the Burkeley Printing company. His accuser Is a man name'd Widow , who lives In Arlon , la. The charges appear to bo of a , rather trivial na ture. Widow alleges that Nestlebush took a consignment of eggs from him which he was to sell on the Omaha markets , and had foiled to make the proper returns. Consid erable correspondence ensued , and Widow claims that In some of these letters the Omaha man made false representations. Nestlebiieh claims to have hills from Widow showing that the eggs were purchased out right at a fixed price , nnd that the owner had been paid all but about $ ( ! . which ho could have hail af any time.'He ' was ar raigned before Commissioner Wright nnd a light bond fixed for his appearance. An olllcer accompanied him to Omaha where ho had no trouble In securing It. M.

In January Mrs. Emlg pro cured a judgment against the Investment company and John W. Paul for $1,500. An execution was Iteucd i .d was returned un- eatlsfied. Mrs. Emlg alleges In her petition that the deeds to the property In question were executed by Paul to the investment company In a round about mamur and by the Interposition of Imaginary persons. TUG original suit was only against Paul , but she claims that the manner In whhh the com pany secured possession of the deeds wa& fraudulant and entitles the court to set them aside and make her claim a prior lieu to the mortgages given on the lots. Two IlroUcii 'I.CKH. William Donahey , a platform man en gaged on the Northwestern freight plat form , sustained a broken leg yesterday aft ernoon. Ho was assisting In unloading n car of heavy machinery and slipped and fell between the freight platform and the car , breaking his left leg below the knee. of William Blackburn , An 8-ycar-old son a colored man , sustained a badly broken leg last evening.

SiirliiHT CIciniliiK- . A force of painters have 'been ' at work In the offices of the county court house for the last week. It is the intention of the county authorities to glvo 'the county building1 a thorough spring cleaning. All of the Interior walls will bo given a shellac and paint finish. The handsome fresco work In the two main court rooms that has become dimmed and almost obscured by the smoke and grime of ten years will bo cleaned by some of the approved processes , and wher ever It Is necessary the frescoing will be touched up with fresh colors. These rooms were beautifully frescoed at the start , but a leaky rcof quickly dimmed the luster of their ornamentation and very few people have now an Idea of how handsome the rooms used to be.

( Special Tele gram. ) The appropriations committees will cut appropriations to the red , The house committed this afternoon met nnd taking up ono by cue the bills Introduced for the vari ous state Institutions , i < ircd thn amounts as they have never been pared before. The Cedar Palls Normal school had naked $13,000 for special Improvements and $75,000 for new buildings. Ttie latter Item was cut out and only $3,000 of the first Item allowed. The Anamosa penitentiary wanted about $ cn,000 largely for buildings , the committee allowed $2,800 and named a subcommittee to ascertain whether It was necessary to glvo anything moro to plaeo unfinished buildings In safe condition. The college for the blind at Viuton asked for $27.000 ; the committee cut It to $10,500 ; the state university asked for $88,100 to restore the library destroyed by fire ; It was cut to $33,100. The Mitchell- vllle Reform school foe girls asked for $20- 000 and Is allowed $5,100. The Eldom He- form 5Chool for Imvs nakotl fnr MO STifl nnd Is allowed $4SOO. These cuts relate only to ppeclal appropriations and do not refer to support funds. The support funds have re mained practically unekangcd for most of the Institutions for years , hut It proposes to shrink them sufficiently to save frcni $100- 000 to ? 1SO,000 cnuually. TBMPL.fi AMENDMENT. Speaker Funk and other lights on parlia mentary law have been studying whether the Temple amendment has legally passed. When first raised the point was considered of no importance , but ns It has been In vestigated it has become a serious question. When the bill came up In the senate Bycrn of Lucas filibustered acid desired to postpone consideration. He succeeded and got the matter made a special order a few days later. When It came up ho again filibustered and finally , when tfio bill was ready for passage , moved that It be ordered engrossed. This motion thoug'h a feature In the regular or der. Is seldom made. The usual form Is for the gentleman In charge of the bill to move that the rules be suspended , the bill bo con sidered enrolled and placed on Its third reading. There Is cctnmonly no opposition to this motion , but before It was made by Senator Hcbart , who was In charge of the bill on the occasion under discussion , Dyers moved that tdc bill bo engrossed. The sen ate was tired of delays and voted down this motion. A moment after thn iiKii.il ninllnn was made to suspend the rules , consider the bill enrolled and lmvo It read the third time. This carried and the bill passed. A few days after It carried the house In the came form and went to the governor. No * the ( picstion is raised by Senator Dyer * whether the bill -was'not killed when thin motion to engross was defeated. He con tends that Ifjo rcfusa1 ! to engross the bill amounts to an Indefinite postponement. Speaker Funk has studied the matter care fully and decided 'that the bill was killed. Gushing and Jeffersoh hold that the defeat of a motion to engrcsi Is equivalent to In definite postponement. How to get out of It Is the next question. If the governor has not signed the bill and ho had not nt the closing of the executive ofllee today It can be recalled and the house by rescinding the vote by which It was passed can undo the former steps , vote 'on'1 the' Byers motion to engross , carry It ami In duo time pass 'the bill. U the bill should , meantime be signed by the governor it , is doubtful whether It could ajaln be passed at this session. Speaker Dyers a year ago ruled that the house could not consider a bill identical In sirbstancfi with ono it had formerly killed at the same session. COLLATERAL INHERITANCE TAX. The collateral inheritance tax law Jjas boon doctored up by the senate committees so that there Is now no question that It will bo cnforclble , provided the legislature pass it. The new provisions require county clerks , whenever an estate is probated , to report to the state treasurer the names and relationship of all'liolre. The treasurer will then enforce the collection. The chief Jus tice of the supreme court and five district judges whom ho may name are constituted a commission to draft rules of the pro cedure in collection of such taxes. H is be lieved this law , If enforced , will bring the state $200,000 annual revenue. There Is a mystery In connection with the board of control matters. Today and Sun day a largo number of plain yellow envel opes came to members of both houses , prob ably twenty-five In all. Each bore the post mark of tbo Dubuque & Sioux City railway postofllce ; there wns no return card , nothing to Indicate where they wore mailed. Each" envelope contained a type-written bill "for the establishment of a state board of chari ties. " It was unaccompanied by a note or word of explanation , simply an anonymous copy of the bill. It provides for a commis sion of six appointed by the governor with out salary with supervisory powers and to have authority over Jails , over private and county asylums , as well as stock Institu tions. It docs away with the visiting com mission , which Is regarded as evidence that Insane asylums are responsible for It , as this commission Is particularly obnoxious to the asylum managements. LANDSLIDE TO MACVICAR. The republican primaries today ended in a landslide to John MacVlcar for mayor , and for the cause of municipal ownership. Tfierc are twonty-nluo precincts In the city , and at 11 o'clock returns Indicate that MacVlcar has almcst carried twenty-eight , with the twen ty-ninth not heard from , but every chance that it will 150 for MacVlcar , giving him ovcry delegate In the city convention. The total popular vote will bo about tbrco for MacVlcar to ono for Sherman , tbo antl-mu- nlclpal ownership candidate. The results also Indicate that the municipal ownership people ple have carried practically the entire mem bership of the city council , which assures a complete administration In favor of this propcsitlon , The present council has a ma jority of antl-MacVlcar people and has em barrassed the administration at every point. The victory Is tbo mcst remarkable that has been won In any primary In the city. The vote for MacVlcar .will bo as largo as the total vote for fihawt republican for governor last fall. The nomination by such a majority assure overwhelming" election. MacVlcar receives ofver G.700 votes In the primaries , carries ; ov ry precinct , and will have every delegate In the city convention on Friday. Ho hasia larger vote than that cast for Shaw for governor last fall. flt l ' ItllhUllUKtill' SIOUX CITY , la , , Fjeb. 28. ( Special Tele gram. ) Joseph Wolfo. son of a Sioux Falls , S.

IOWA MniiilH AVI I.I. OIIOAM7.K. < o lip Hold ( it Conildrr 1'lniM fnr I.'orinntloii of a Union. OSKALOOSA , la. , Feb. 28. ( Special. ) Arrangements have been made for ono of the largest meetings of miners ever held In the state , to bo held In this city next Thurs day. day.Elated Elated over the nuccess of the recent mooting In Chicago , at which the miners secured every demand they made , the IOWA men , backed by the State Federation of La bor , will meet to consider the advisability of Joining the United Mine Workers of America , thus Joining forces with the east ern men. The call for the meeting , which has Just been issced , states that the busi ness to bo brought before tbo convention Is : Eight hours' work a day and nil advance In the price of mining ; to determine the best methods for us to pursue In order to gain the benefits accorded the miners of Pennsylvania , West Virginia , Ohio , Indiana and Illinois. For years past the Mlno Workers of Amer ica have hnd but a very few camps In Iowa , and the efforts to call slate mcctlnga for the purpose of organization have always re- eultcd In total failure. Another grievance the Iowa men have bad ngalnst the east ern men with whom they are now seeking an alliance Is that In bcveral troubles In which the Iowa men have walked out In sympathy with their eastern brethren the eastern men have returned to work on the best terms they could and left the Iowa men to shift for themselves. But the success of the Chicago meeting has opened their eyes nnd the attempt will now bo made to thoroughly organize the state. From advices received from two-thirds of the mining camps of the state It Is assured that dele gates will be present from all of these , and the leaders of the movement look forward to tlia largest meeting ot coal miners ever held in Iowa.
