City Council on Two

A strong effort Is being made to proven
the opening of the paving campaign by th
property owners who will bo called upon t
meet the expenses of the work on the street
to.be Improved. In a number of Instance
the forces have been about equally divide
and the protests and petitions leave the mat
ter In a condition that will require the mem
ters of the council to exercise a great den
of discretion and some diplomacy It the In
tent Is to please all. The greatest numbe
of protects come from the property owner
on Fourth street , which has been orderc
rcpaved from Broadway to Worth streel
On this street Is located some ot the fines
residence property In the city and Its valu
has been greatly depreciated of late year
on account of the condition of the pavlnj
Naturally the owners of the best propert
are among the citizens most anxious to hav
the old blocks removed and they have a !
signed the petition askl-jg the council to or
der the otrcet repaved. A remonstrance In
mediately followed the petition and a larg
number of names was attached to It , bu
within the last few days several of the prop
erty owners have ordered their names re
moved from the rcmctistran.ee and attache
them to the petition. Still the showing I
about even on both sides , with the odds , I
there arc any , slightly In favor of the pro
testers.
On Eighth street the objectors yesterda
asserted that they had a majority of th
property owners and street frontage or * thel
paper and claimed to bo abto to show th
council that there was no necessity for re
paving at the present time. The propert
owners on this street claim that the tlm
for ordering It rcpaved will not arrlvo unt
after a number ot other streets lying nearc
the center of the city have been repavec
They declare the council Is taking the wren
course and Instead of going several block
away from the newly paved streets nmd 01
dcrlng repavlng , the work should begin o
the streets adjoining Pearl and Main , In w
der to give a continuous line of new paving
They say when this Is done there will be n
objection to repaying their street. In th
present condition of the city finances the
bellevo there will be no encouragement 1
the. council of this plan. Some of the par
commissioners , however , assert that the
will vote to appropriate the amount neede
to pay for the paving and will pay cash f <
the work.
The general feeling among the propert
owners and the members of the council Is (
favor brick to the exclusion ot all othc
kinds ot material , but the demand for at
phalt In some localities U too strong to t
resisted , and It Is about certain that thcr
will bo some ot this kind of paving laid th

It was supposed that the matter of the
surety bond offered by City Treasurer Reei
had been fixed up satisfactorily to the coun
ell by the special committee yesterday after.
noon , but when the matter was brought ui
at the special meeting of the council las
night there was a wldo difference of oplntor
among the members as to the advisability o
accepting It. The difficulty arose over thi
provision Inserted by the bonding companlei
that the temporary bond should continue li
force for a period of fifteen days and at thi
end of that time the companies would notlf ;
the city of their Intention to Issue the boiu
for the period of one year or decline to di
It at all. It was explained that this wa
the regular proceeding of the companies am
that their rules would not permit them ti
Issue a bond for a longer period. Aldermai
Casper Instated upon providing all posslbli
safeguards , but declared hlmrelf to b
heartily In favor of the surety bond Insteai
of the personal bonds heretofore given by thi
city treasurers. He thought that such i
bond was superior to any personal bond , am
called attention to the fact that the peopli
of Nebraska were having a good deal o
trouble In attempting to force the collectloi
of large personal bonds and were offerlni
to settle with the bondsmen at 40 cents 01
the dollar.
Mr. Reed was called for and declared tha
ho had , the word of the general agents of th
bonding .companies . that the full bonds wouli
bo here within six days and suggested tha
the matter go over until that time , provldci
it would not Jeopardize his title to the office
This was agreed to and the present clt ;
treasurer will continue to hold the office unti
April 13.
There were many citizens present to pro
test against the repaying of Fourth stree
when the matter waa brought up and severu
of them were permitted to state their objec
tlon. Emmet Tlnloy and John Llndt , as at
torneys for a number of them , spoke at som
length and made strong pleas against th
passage of the improvement ordinance. L
H. Mossier und W. A. Wood also spok
against the proposition and the matter wa
finally submitted to the committee ot th
whole , which will meet tonight and' devot
the entire evening to the discussion of th
subject.
The question of buying a street sweepe
was sprung upon the council by a rcsolutlo
Introduced by Alderman Casper , bearing th
names of Aldermen Saylcs and 'Metcalf. Th
resolution directed the committee on street
and alleys to notify the owners of strec
sweepers that It was the intention of th
city to purchase at least ono Immediately ante
to direct them to submit proposals to sol
machines. There was some objection ! to th
resolution , but It was carried and the com
nilttco was ordered to Investigate and repor
to the council at the next meeting.
.Owing to the failure of some of the mos
responsible bidders for printing and blanl
book supplies to transmit the required bon
with their bids , It was decided to reject al
of the bids for thla kind ot work and read
vertlse.

CUIIES WITHOUT I'AIX.
One of tin" IIOHt KentnrcN of thv Mew
Pile Cure.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures every form
of Pllea without one particle of pain. This
desirable point Is not obtained by the use
of Injurious opiates , \\hlch simply deaden
and paralyze the nerves of the parts and
make matters worse In the long run. But
It Is done solely by Its remarkable healing
and oolhlng effects.
And while It thus gives Immediate rellcff
at the same time the disease Is not merely
checked , but a radical cure Is rapidly ac
complished.
And the point no want to make clear Is
that all it his Is done without a purtlolo of
pain.
This- fact Is one reason for the great popu
larity of the Pyramid Pile Cure and consti
tutes ono very great difference between It
and almcst any other kind of treatment for
piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for piles
Is excruciatingly painful , besides endanger
ing the life of the patient , und In in Ml cases
Is not to be compared with the Pyramid
Cure , neither In making successful cures
without pain nor In cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before
the public too long , and Its merits recog
nized by too many people to allow It to bo
clcssed with the many salves , suppositories ,
pills , etc. , and you run no risk In trying It ,
as Is often the case with now and untried
preparations.
If you are ever troubled with any form of
piles or rectal disease do not forget the Pyr
amid Pile Cure. Prepared by the Pyramid
Drug Co. of Marshall , Mich. , and sold by
