Connec tion with the Transmlesisslppl BxpoalflonV At that meeting , by resolution , John H. Taylor waa named to assist Douglas counter In /making / Ita display. However , Chairman itflejrstead was not lobg In 'correcting ( be ml - Jtako. He at once offered a resolution ousting Taylor. The resolution providing for Toy- ilor'a discharge followi : Wherens , At the last meeting of the Beard of Cotlnty Commissioner ? oi Douglas county , John H. Tuylor was appointed a * iOno of the men to assist In preparing an agricultural display for the Trnnsmlssis- elppl Exposition , and , Whereas. The sold John H. Taylor was one of the "pop" legislators that nsflsted ln putting republican legislators out of ionlcea to which they had been honorably flected , and , 'Whereas , The said John IL Taylor did itisurp and occupy the ufhcu of state legislator later , to which he was not elected , and , 'Whereas ' , 'Bomf. members of 'this Board of County Commissioners .aero . not aware that the sold John H. Taylor was the same Taylor who helped to rob the republican legislator of their seats at the .tlrno they voted to give him said position ; now , ' there , fore , be it Hesolved , That the said John H. Taylor be , and Is hereby , Immediately discharged. Chairman Kleretead laid that under the circumstances , It wts a great display of gall on the part of Tuylor to aik for the position. 7 DISCUSSING TOB-RESOLUTION. , Mr. Osfrom moved the adoption of the resolution and It was secondel by Mr. Harte. Mr. Hector eild there was no reason why .the commissioners should grind the axes of any person. He regarded Taylor as a good man for the position and would make the Douglas county display a great feature. Chairman KloreteaJ said there was no .politics . la the resolution. Taylor was not elected to the position of legislator , but bad usurped the place and was seated toecauee he belonged to the party In power. His ' motives' were dishonorable and should be frowned down upon by all good citizens , regardless of party. Mr. Hector 'objected to the consideration of the resolution and asked that Its fur ther consideration go over until the next meeting of the board. The majority members arranged to hold an adjourned meeting this afternoon , ' whereupon Mr. Hector said tnat he would withdraw his motion to refer the resolution , .This done , a vote upm the adoption of the resolution , and all of the members , except ing Meears. .Hoctor , and Hofeldt , voted aye. In explaining hit -vote , iMr. Hector said that 'he believed the .Douglas County 'Expo sition association could , get along'with one less man .than bad been provided for. . G. W. Hcrvey was 'appointed to the posi tion made vacant by Taylor's removal. NAMES A SUPERINTENDENT. It8.

' The 'lease of the Mlasourl Pacific on the present quarters expires at midnight on May 9. The removal of a railroad's office to Douglas street 1 * decidedly an Innovation. It Is an experiment that has long been talked of In local railway circles , and It has been freely predicted that the first company that undertook tbe departure would find the move a profitable one. It In known , that several railroad * have , during the rust few years made unauccessfq ! attempts tp secure corner locations at/Fifteenth 'and 4t Sixteenth and Douglas afreets. The { remit ot the'Innova tion will 'therefore be watched with con. sldcrablo interest Mn local railway , circles. The now location Should ' 'prove' a better one than that at. present occupied especially during the exposition-as ; the street cars to and from Council Bluff * and 'between South Omaha and tbe exposition pats by the door. , ' ' The new offices will be handsomely fitted up , and the exterior walla will be made con spicuous with Missouri Pacific elgria. The main entrance will be from Douglas street , and an additional doorway will be cut In the Fourteenth atrcet aide near the comer.

COUNCILMEH NOT INCLINED TO PRESS Point Out lh Xec * l r ( or New Blrueture Alone Sixteenth nn'4 Defer te the Probable Wish of Railroads. s Up to date the members of the city council have manifested no'actlvo disposition to take up the viaduct question , and It 1 * even con sidered doubtful whether anything will be done In that direction before tile .exposition. It Is conceded that tbe Sixteenth street via- duct' should be replaced aa soon after the exposition as possible , but it Is believed that the railroads would object to the increased expense Incident to construction In the win der , and the opinion prevails that the most that will be done this year will bo to prepare plans and speclfica- tions so that the actual construction can be gin early next , spring. City Attorney Cbnnell ts vigorously advo- eating the construction of a viaduct at Twenty-fourth street , but the Idea is not favorably received by the council. The coun- cllmen etlll assert that the Sixteenth street structure should be attended to first , and they suggcnt that while It would no doubt be a gpcd thingto hare'a viaduct at Twenty- fourth' street , It would be pushing things a little too fast to compel the railroads to build two expensive 'viaducts in 'one year. They advise leaving the Twenty-fourth street mat ter until the year after the Sixteenth street viaduct la replaced. REPbACI\O WOODE.V SIDEWALKS. Board of Pnbllo Work * Will Soon Open It From now until the- exposition opens the Board of Public Works will push an energetic cruEvade against the rotten wooden" sidewalks that still remain. Thousands of feet ot per' manent walks were laid laat year , but so tlttlo had been done in the way ot sidewalk Improvements during the two years im mediately prevlou's , that a vaat amount of worthless walkyet remains. Damage aults against the city are constantly resulting and these will be multiplied when the city Is filled with exposition : visitors. For this reason as well as to 'Improve the appearance of the street ? the board will go Into the sidewalk business on a large scale and a number ot the 'heaviest property owners are signifying' a willingness to co-operate. Herman Kountze has agreed to lay a large amount of permanent walk in addition to that which he put down laat year , and a number of others are preparing to lay a large amount of brick and stone walk. An especial effort will be made to secure new walks In the 'territory between Dodge street and the exposition grounds. Mortality StntUtlcn.

The Associated Charities have already this year assigned about ten acres of ground , the use of which has. been-secured from the 'owners to help persona who want to cultivate 'gardens and have-no means. About twenty acres of. ground on the south aide is still un- lasslgned , and'if no one aeka for the use ot It the Asioclated Charities will cultivate It. Applications are received every day for seeds , andtbe first distribution will continue as long ae the supply holds out. The demand for 'seed potatoes , la particularly great at present , and asthere are none for distri bution , disappointed people file out of tbe office with the 'remark that the will have to' get along without them and plant .some thing else. 'Uwt year the "Plngrecs patches" were quite a success In , Omaha , and people who bad land have secured plots again for this neaaoa. Small seeds and potatoes were raised ex clusively last year , and the same plan will be followed this season , as tbe results were entirely satisfactory. It W a Sttcce s. Yesterday Messrs.
