Members of the council hive practi
cally decided that the city will build Its
own Jail. The renting business has been
very expensive and unsatisfactory , and It
IB believed that the funds to build a Jail on
ono of the city lots can bo secured. It Is
contended that the $12,000 which will bo re
ceived as a premium on the refunding bonds
Just Issued can bo used for that purpose and
this will go a good way towards putting up
a building that " 111 answer the purpose fore
o year or two and which can bo added to
ns the necessities of the city Increase. No
selection of a site has been agreed on , but
the councilman arc of the opinion that a
trade can be made for some of the city
property which will secure a location that
will bo satisfactory. This secured the plans
for the Jail will bo drawn at once and It Is
proposed to have the building ready for
occupancy within ninety days.
PIlOPnilTY OF THE CITY.
As the city owns real estate valued at over
$3,000,000 , It Is thought that there would be
no niniculty In discovering some ono who will
bo willing to exchange a Jail alto for some
of the city property. Nearly any piece of
city property aside from the parks , engine
houses and high school grounds could be
made available to exchange. In order that
property owners may know exactly what
property the city owns Comptroller Wcstberg
has pieparcd the following list which con
tains the description of every foot of land

There Is a strong probability that the ell
council will soon take up the matter of nc
gutters on North Sixteenth street. The :
gutters were originally designed to answi
the purpose of storm sewers and slnco sowe :
have been constructed they have remalm
to disfigure the street and Impede trafllc.

Utnh nml Tcnchrm' Contention.
Superintendent J. F. Mlltspaugh ot the
public tchoolB of Salt Lake City called en
Superintendent Pcarse on his way home from
the annual convention of the department of
superintendence of the National Educational
a < K < oclatlon at Chattanooga and was only Id
the city for a few hours. Superintendent
Mlllpaugh eajs that the State Teachers'
association of Utah was very enthusiastic
over the educational congress at Omaha next
June , and although the Halt Lake teachers
have not taken the matter up formally ,
thc'o Is likely to be a liberal attendance
from that city. The Salt Lake schools close
about the middle of June cud the teachers
who go to the meeting of the National Edu
cational ascwclntlon at Washington will bo
able to stop off for a few dajs nt Omaha and
atUml the congress and them go on to Wash
ington without additional expenae except for
their cxpccscs while In the city.

Judging from the letters that City Treas
urer IMwarc'o Is receiving , Omalm 4 per
cent bonds are In even greater demand than
Is usual , llnjcs & Sons of Cleveland have
backed up tlielr telegram with a letter re
peating their offer to take the bonds at the
price offered by the blgh bidder In case
they arc not sold , and Bstabrook & Co. of
Iloston write to urge that they' made the
secctid best bid and are ready to take the
bonds at their offer of $100.78 In case the
Now York firm deslines to receive them. Th"
Kliat National tx.nk of Chicago also write *
to see If tlicro Is any chance to get In on
the sale. Its president states that he did
not know of Itie Eilo until It waa too late
to put 111 a bid , but If the bonds should not
be disposed ot he wanta an opportunity to
make a bid on Uic.n.
Start on I'lihllc Workn.
At the * next meeting of the city coun
cil a resolution will be Introduced by which
all contractors having public work now
u ider contract will be required to get ready
to begin work at once. This la for the pur
pose of glv'ng the contractors duo notice
that the city proposes to have work begun
not later than April 1 , nnd It la declared
that this policy will be rigidly enforced.
There are nearly a dozria paving and re-
paving contracts now on hand and It Is pro-
pcsed that as much ot the work as possible
shall ho completed bcforo thn exposition.

The records of the Health department for

reported Is three a day and this Is the first

"William P. Klscr of Dayton , O , general
manager of the National Cash Register com
pany , Is In the city endeavoring to make
suitable arrangements for an elaborate ex
hibit at the TransmlssltslppI Exposition. If
ho Is successful In securing the space ho
wants ho will put In a display similar to the
famous pearl and gold ono which took first
prizes for grandeur In dUplay at the Antwerp
exposition. Mr. Riser Is In Omaha after a
trip through the vveet , and savs he Is
thoroughly convinced of the return of pros
perity to this section.
To a Bee reporter he said : "Our sales are
better by two to ono than they were a year
ago In the west and the collections arc
much better. To my mind these arc two
accurate Indices to the commercial condition
of any territory. Our business has Improved
all over tbo country , but the Im
provement has been more marked In the
west than In the east. This Is true in re
gard to both sales and collections. That
Omaha stands In the very lead In the enjoy
ment of the returned prosperity Is Indi
cated by the return of our Oxaba agent , H ,
B. Whltchouse. Our company makes an
award of $100 every month for the best
returns , various standards being fixed foi
different territories according to their res
pcctlvo population. During 1897 Mr. White-
house secured seven out of a possible twelve
ot these monthly awards , and ho was Ir
competition with agents all over the world
He has already won the prize for January
1893 , and I think he also has that for Feb
ruary , 180S , although all the returns art
not yet In. More than that ho has jus :
been awarded the $200 silver cup offered an.
nually for the best knowledge of the Brm'i
business , and also the annual diploma foi
the highest general average In all depart
ments of the business for the year 1897
This remarkable collection of prizes by om
agent Indicates more than exceptional ablllt ;
on his part. It goes to show that the terrl
tory In which ho Is representing the com
pany In enjoying a full measure of the com
merclal Improvement that Is noticeable al
over the county. "

The members of the board of governors
statci that In , the first place they offered
to allow the cxpofiltlon people to use the

cannot change their plans without serious
Inconvenience. The iratter will b ? taken
up at the meeting of the board of governors
next Tuesday night , when a llnal answer to
the exposition association will bo deter
mined on.
Major R. S. Wilcox saU that the board
of governors was willing to oblige the ex
position people If possible. But the matter
had been allowed to rest until so late a
day that It was feared that It might In-
tcrfcio with their plois to glvo up the
building. The matter will be thoroughly
c-anvessod Tue-day night and as far as ho
understands the sentiment of the boird th"
request will be granted If It can be ( lone
without too much disarrangement of their
plain1.
II. J. Ponfold said that It Is i.ifortunatc
that the exposition people had not seen fit
to accept the proposition made by the
beard of governors In the first place. The
board las now gccie so far with its plans
tlat It will be difficult to clnngo them.
Whethci It can bo done at ull Is to be
settled Tuesday night and until the board
1'aa discussed the matter It Is Impossible to
say what action It will take.

If wo don't double our trade in boys' and children's
clothing this spring the fault will bo yours not ours.
The loss , too , will be yours. What with the values wo
are offering and what with the patterns we show , and
what with the variety wo give you , it scorns as if you
couldn't buy anywhere else but here. Take long pant
suits for young men from 14 to 19. Hero's ono at
four dollars and a half 'twould puzzle us to du
plicate from the same maker today for a dollar more.
Fact. Here's another for six dollars that looks as if
clothing was going down. It ain't. Clothing has
advanced almost 25 per cent in the last few months
but you will never know it if you buy hero. By ju
dicious contracts and by going without some of our
profit we are holding the price's down to last year's
scale. Take this all wool suit at three dollars around
town and see if you can match it anywhere for less
than live. You can't. AVe tried all wo knew how
to get another lot of them made up at our contract
price but the maker wants more than four dollars
for them today. That's why we say that we oughtto
double our business in boys' and children's clothing.
Maybe we will. AVe certainly will if wo can get you
to come around early and see the long pant suits and
also the handsome little suits AVC are selling , for little
4 to 8 year olds , at $1.75 , § 2.00 , § 2. 25 , § 2. 50 and ' * "
