cording to members of the Board of
ducatlon the boanl Is In earnest thU time
In Its determination to compel the city
council to make some satisfactory adjust
ment of the Hickory street ( .lading Job by
which the board was buncocl out of nearly
$1,500. The grievance la of long standing.
as the damages were assessed early In the
spring oMS93 , and In the following .year the
board tried lo Induce the council to return
the amount , but without success. There In
no question In regard to the fact ? , aa the
records now on Illo In the cilice of the comp
troller arc conclusive evidence- that the
transaction was onn of the moat barefaced
thai b.04 cvtr boon perpetrated by the city.
The Hoard of Education , the City of Omaha
and one or tno private individuals were
compelled touy \ o\er ? G,000 on account of
benefits for an Improvement that has never
boon uiadc to this day and the money has
brcn paid out to other property o nus : for
damages which have never materialized.
The effect of the transaction was that the
cly ( simply took ( G,0)0 ! ) out of the pockets ot
ono ret of taxpayers and hanJM them over
to another without giving the former the
Bllp.titost compensation. The council de-
termiacd to grade Hickory street from Fifth
to Slxt.h streets and the appraisers ne-

cut would lead up against a bank at Fifth

hould be cut through to Fourth street. Thu

It Is asserted that the position taken by
the paving contractors that they will not do
any work until the bonds , sro sold , so they
can realise on their eatlntiUi s soon an the
work Is * completed , will not result In any
appreciable delay In spring work. City Engi
neer Rosewatcr admits that there l a good
deal of equity In the position taken by the
contractors. He eajs that at the prices at
which asphalt Is now being laid the con
tractors arc certainly entitled to prompt
payment , and his opinion Is that the bonds
should be sold In time to pay for the pave
ments as soon as they are completed. The
members of the council say that they are
holding the bonds on the advice of the legal
department , In order to save accrued Inter
est. They contend that none of the work
will be completed before May 1 , and that
It the bonds are cold in April It will be In
ample time to meet the obligations. They
think that this will be satisfactory to the
contractors and save a mouth's Interest for
the city.

There te a well defined understanding
afloat that the bond buyers' pool that was
formed to cul down the premium on the re
cent IESUO of refunding bonds has not ac
cepted its defeat and Is still working to de
feat the sale. It Is stated that the pool has
brought Influences to boar on tie ! purchas
ers , Bernard , Thurman ft. Co. of New York , to
refuse to take the bonds and sierlllco the de
posit of ? COGO , that they made with their
bid. The pool will then reimburse the New
York firm for the loss of Its depcult , trustIng -
Ing to win out by forcing another sale of the
bonds , when U hopes 12 be better organized
and buy the .bonds at & largely reduced
premium.
01110 coor was given to this statement
yesterday when Treasurer Kdwardi fe-
celved a telegram from Bernard , Thurman ft
Co. stating that they had mailed an Impor
tant communication relative to the bands.
What the nature ot this communication may
lie Is only surmised , but. In view ef the
known operations of trio pool , It IK sug
gested that the New York firm proposs to
raise EOUIO technicality to avoid talc ag the
bonds It this proves to bo the case , the
pool will bo very apt to get Its fingers burnt ,
The treasurer Is , advised that the bonds arc
perfectly free from any technical defect on
which the purchcucrs might defeat the sale
and In case they refuse to abide by their
proposal the 6OOQjdeposlt will certainly bo
retained. Then the pl n ot the pool to buy
the bonds at a'roduccd figure will encounter
a snag. U happens that since the bonds were
sold the city treasurer has received four un
solicited proposals from firms that want the
bonds In case the New York firm declines
to take them , Two heavy bond-buying firms
etand rrady to take the bonds at once at the
same premium that Honiara , Thurman & Co.
offered , and the First National Dank ot
Chicago and one of the Omaha banks are
ready to take the bonds , but have not stated
what premium they are willing to pay.
Under the circumstances the prospects for
buying the bonds for a small premium are
decidedly unpromising and the city author
ities are not particularly concerned whether
the. New York firm takes them or not.

The municipal health department la pre
paring to take measures to close up a number
of down town bakeries unless there Is a radi
cal Improvement In the sanitary conditions
o ! the establishments. The rapid Increase
In the number of cheap restaurants and
boarding houses has created an unusual de
mand for chejp baking and a large number
of new bakeries hav.e recently been started.
In a number of cases the surroundings are
such that the product is a menace to the
public health , and the department has de
cided that something must be done to protect
the public. A case In point Is a do\vn town
establishment In which the baking ia all
done In the basement , which doro not even
afford the protection of a concrete floor. The
water rlr < ; cts are also located In the same
room with the ovens and the whol ? cellar Is
redolent of filth. This shop fumlshes baking
at a reduced prlco and Is doing a big busi
ness. Thcro are several others which are
scarcely better situated.

will be much better than the old , but they
consider that It Is too far to one side of thu

not believed that people will like the Idea

Charlcu Hettdrlcka , slight ot stature and
young In years , Is on trial In the criminal
section of the district court , charged with
highway robbery. The particular charge
ugalnst Hendncks Is that on the night of
December 11 , 1897 , at Thirty-sixth and Far-
nam streets , he met Ncle Nelson , and , flash
ing a revolver In his face , made him dis
gorge all of his wealth 10 cents.
Hendrlcks has been Identified by Nelson
as the highwayman who relieved him of his
money. It Is more than likely that Hen-
dilcks would have c&uipcd had he not at
tempted another job 1he same evening.
After robbing Nelson ho went a couple of
I blocks up the street and meeting Nelrt
Benpon commanded him to throw up his
hands. InsttaJ of doing so Uenson pitched
Into Hcndrlcks , knocked him down , iook
away hl'i revolver and held him until aoslst-
anco arrived. After 'thai ' he held onto his
man while some one telephoned the police.
Upon Iho arrival of the officers Benson
placed the man In their custody and then
went on homo as composed us though noth
ing had happened.
This same Hendrlcks who Is on trial In
charged with holding up and attempting to
rob Chan \Vllcox at Sixteenth and Caatcllar
streets early In Docmbcr lust. Wllcox re
garded the attack upon him as a joke and
lefuoed to throw up hlu bunds. For this
ho received a bullet In the shoulder. Wllcox
has Identified Hendrlcks ax lib assailant.

of Ml.sfl Jacobs apolnst the nurllngtsn oc
curred at Greenwood , this s.utc , tlirto years

of age. She was walking along the main
track of the railroad near the depot and fell.
Heforo getting off the track a train came
along and cut off both her feet. She alleged
that the railroad company IH liable for the
reason that the engineer should have seen
her lying upon the track , as she fell when
the train was ninety feet distant.

that the accident to MlM Jacobs occurred ,
