* Oic iliiK Other Matter * .
The various city departments , exclusive
of thCRo which are provided with fixed sunn
of money by the charter , will have J 10,000
less to spend this year for the maintenance
of Ihelr offices than last year. At Its meet
ing last night the city council passed on
Its first and second reading the ordinance
which makes this reduced apportionment of
funds and there IB every reason to .believe
that It will remain unchanged and will be
panned on Its third reading on next Turs-
ilay night iltsplto any objection that may
be mndo by the heads of the different de
partments.
In this apportionment every department
hns been cut far below Iho amounts asked
for and also below the sums that were ap
propriated last year. The extent of the re
duction below the 1898 apportionment will
bo seen In the following table of compari

It will bo soon that the appropriation for
( he street department has been materially
reduced. This fund Is used mainly for street
cleaning. Much less money than last year
will also bo spent by the council In repair
\ ing streets and crosswalks , for the appor
tionment ordinance also sets a limit to ox-
pcndlturefl of this character. In the past
councllmen have ordered as much of this
nort of repairing as the body as a whole
would stand for , but according to the ordi
nance each councilman In the future will
tic limited to a llxcd amount. For such re
f pairing a total Hum of $10,000 Is appropri
ated. Of this amount $7,500 Is distributed
among the various wards as follows : Firs' ,
Second , Fifth , Sixth , Seventh , Eighth and
Ninth , $1,000 each ; Third and Fourth , $250
each. The remaining $2.500 of the fund
rwlll bo used in emergency cases and In I |
absolutely necessary repairing under the j I
direction of the Hoard of I'ubllc Works. I I
Just before the council adjourned Colin- i ' I
oilman Karr Introduced a resolution that
was Innocent enough In appearance , but j i
bore directly upon the use of these street ' ;
department funds. Thin resolution provided
that every department should bo permitted
to use Its money as It saw fit without any i
furlher'nuthorlzatlon from the council. This
will certainly govern all the departments ,
but It will particularly affect the street
department. City Engineer Uosewater has
frequently complained that ho has not been
permitted to UBC his funds as ho saw fit ,
< but has been limited to what the council
permitted him to use by virtue of a resolu
tion passed a yenr ago , which ordered him
not to do any street work unless specifi
cally ordered to do BO by the council. Karr's
resolution was referred to n committee with
out discussion or comment.
Action 1'oRtjioiii'il.
The resolution ordering the city comp
troller to discharge the two men who were
hired by him a year ago to do special work
and have been retained slnco was again i i
up and action was once more postponed
liocauso of the absence of the comptroller.
Some of the councllmcn were inclined to
let the comptroller retain the men if he
wanted to as long as he kept within the
appropriation made for the maintenance of
his office. Councilman Durkley , however ,
stated that the men wore not paid out ot
the comptroller's apportionment , but their
salaries were specially provided for.
A somewhat sharp contrast with the. e
j > ropoeed reductions was furnished by a
resolution from President Illngham , In
structing the city engineer to draw up an
ordinance preliminary to the grading of
Eighteenth street from William street to
Lincoln nvonue , the city to pay one-half
the cost of the work. This latter condi
tion appeared , however , to cause Blngham
to think that there was small chance c
having the work done , for ho said : "In
view of our strained finances , I do not
proHiirao that the council will want to pay
bait the cost of this grading , but I intro
duce this resolution by request. " On his
own motion the resolution was referred.
Mn > - Hi-move Smallpox IloNiittal.
' The demand of the residents about Fon-
tanello park for the removal of the smallpox
hospital that was located there during the
recent smallpox scare will probably soon bo
complied will ) . City Physician Spaldlng
presented a communication , 'In which ho
stated that tlicro Is no more need of the
hospital and therefore recommended that It
bo removed lo some permanent location
whpro It would not bo objectionable. This
communication caused several members of
the council to express themselves as desir
ous of removing the building as soon as
possible , because of fho complaints of the
pcoplo who live near the park. No action
was taken , but the matter was referred to
4h < t building and property committee with
the understanding that something will bo
done very shortly.
People who want Soutii Twenty-fourth
street opened over the Union Pacific and
Darlington railroad tracks pending the con
struction of a viaduct will probably bo dls-

Appointed. The city ftiglneer , to whom was
refc-rrod the statement of Honeral Manager
HoldrcRo of the nurllngton. that the cross
ing would be dnngcroug on account of the
grade ot the Rtr M , reported against the
owning. Ho declared that Twenty-fourth
street on the south , which lir\n been brought
to the eatablltticd grade , leads down to the
railroad tracks so .e ply that a team could
not bo stopped after It Htartcd down the
hill and consequently Rome serious acci
dents might occur. This steep grade had
been established In anticipation of the con-
etructlon of n viaduct , which would have
to boItX ) feet In length. In vlow of this
condition of affairs City Engineer .Rose-
water advised that the street bo not opened.
Tim report was referred.
Cniillol A i'iiiic I'nvliiK.
All the old ordinances ordering the re-
paving of Capitol nvcnuo from Sixteenth lo
Twentieth streets were repealed or placed
on file and n couple of new ones wcro In
troduced , cutting the street Into two dis
tricts , one of which extends from Sixteenth
to Ulghteonth nndthe _ other from Eighteenth
to Twentieth. This was done In order to
enable the block between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets to bo parked In accordance
with the wishes of the people living there.
Other ordinances Introduced , read n first
and second time and referred were as fol
lows : 1'avlng Fifteenth street from Grace
Ktrcet to n point 176 feet south , paving
Dowcy avenue from Thirty-ninth to Fortieth ,
vacating H considerable number of streets
and alleys In Wnrrenton addition , n sup
plemental February appropriation sheet ,
changing the western lire limit so that It
extends to Twentieth street only from Far-
nam to Dodge street. The ordinance or-
dorlng the grading ot I'helps street from
Thirteenth to Sixteenth , the city to pay one-
half the cost , and another ordering the pav-
liiK of Thirty-second avenue from Dodge to
Fnrnam were passed on the third reading.
A committee report recommended that the
city leafo to the City Garbage company a
portion of Lenvcnworth street cast of Sixth ,
which Is not open to traffic , upon which the
company proposes to erect it stablo. The
rental was to be $ ,10 a year. To this Stunt
vigorously objected , on the grounds that the
property owners adjoining objected to hav
ing the stable on account of the stench. A
suggestion was made that the lease bo not j I
entered Into unless the property owners
consent and Stuht therefore agreed that the j j I |
matter bo referred again until waivers of ,
the property owners are secured.
A petition was received from a number
of adjoining business firms asking that the I
city market bo not removed from Eleventh
and Howard streets , this being in answer
to another petition received some time ago , | !
asking that the market be removed. This
matter had already been acted upon in com- '
mltteo of the whole , however , the council
having compromised the objections to the
market by making Its western boundary 1
the east side of Eleventh street. This
fluingo was confirmed and the city clerk
was formally Instructed to advertise the
siilo of market stalls , the auction to take
place at 10 a. m. on March 25. The market I
will bo opened for business on April 1. !

NORTHSIDERS TAKE ACTION

Levy I'lneeil Iiy ( he City
Council.
At the meeting of the North Omaha Im
provement club Monday evening the matter
ot parks and boulevard wns thoroughly dis
cussed ind 4t was the sense of ttio meeting
that owing to the largo amount ot unim
proved parks and boulevards , which are con
templated or are under construction , the
limit of appropriations for park purposes Is
entirely too low , and a commltteo was appointed - j
pointed to pot I lion the legislature to nt-
Inch such amendment to the city charter , !
raising the limit In any one year from i i
$30,000 to * & 0,000.
The following resolutions were also
adopted :
Resolved by the North Omaha Improve
ment club , That we approve of the economi
cal administration of the city affairs and
the keeping of tax levins down to the low
est possible point consistent with the pub
lic good , but when every city In the United.
States of tbo same class as Omaha Is put
ting Itself In condition to take advantage of
returning prosperity , we do not approve of
Iho policy that nil ) keep Omaha dirty , unat-
j tractive and unprogrcBslvc ; wo bellove thcro
: Is tin economy In permitting the streets of
the city to bo muddy , dusty and offensive ,
for the reason that It glvcb a bad luiprus-
sltn to visitors , Increasing disease and de
stroying the reputation of Omahu as a
place In which to llvo and Invest money.
In like manner , wo consider It wasteful In
stead of uconoiulcal not to maintain the sewer
system of the city that coat Ji.000,000 , We
disapprove of the crippling of the park
board. The people of Omaha have pur
chased land nt a great expense , believing
that the city would be benefited thereby
and that land values near the parks and
boulevards would Increase more than the
parka cost. This expense has beun a heavy
burden and ls a valueless acquisition as
they are now , if roadways are not construc
ted and kept In good condition , These im
provements are necessary to render useful
our streets , sewers and parks for which so
much money has boon expended. While
their maintenance Is proflUblo to property
owners It also gives employment to many
laborers. Wo disapprove of the action of
the park board In renting from yenr to year
Fontnnello park , n tract of 110 acres , for a
cow pasture for $200 a year , and we demand
the cancellation of lease.
They Nliuiil ! > ' Ilnverly ,
At a meeting of the Omahs Veteran HP-
publican league held Marcti 4 , 1899. the fol
lowing resolution was unanimously adopted :
Whereas. The county commissioners of
Douglas county have assumed to control the
appointment of clerks In tbe office of county

otllco is an elective ono , and notwithstand
ing the fact that the county clerk Is duly
bonded and obligated to the responsibility
of n faithful , honest and correct performance
of his duties and is therefore responsible for
his clerks ; now , therefore , be it
Resolved by the Omabii Veteran Repub

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. |
Very llttlo Interim hoe been manifested
In the spring campaign by Incnl politicians
'
mid others lip to the present time , but It
Is expected , thot next week the political pot
will bo set to boiling. In a llttlo more than
a week the city conventions to nominate
four members of the city council nml three
members of the Uonrd of Education will
be held. The election will be held on April
4 and tlio campaign will bo necessarily
short. Contrary to the usual cuatom no
public announcements li.ive been made by
aspirants from either party and In many
Instances thwo who are being talked of
deny that they are candidates. The terms
of the republican councllmcn In the First ,
Second and Third wards expire on the first
Tuesday after election , but from present
appearances It seems that the dcslro of the
party Is that three same men shall stand
for re-election. The outgoing republican
councllmon nre Kelly , Barrett and Tralnor.
Just what the republican convention will
do Is hard to tell , BS the delegates are ntlll
unsclected , but street talk has It that tht > o
men will all be ronomlnntcd. Barrett , Kelly
and Tralnor all say that they are not seek
ing a ronoralnatlon , 'but ' If It Is offered to
them by the convention they will accept.
Outside of the present Incumbents who
might be Induced to accept a rcnomlnatlon
A. H. Murdo = k and T. D. Scott are spoken
of as possible candidates In the First ward ,
although neither has made public announce
ment of his candidacy. Over In the Third
ward the republicans are talking of John K.
Schultz In the event that Mr. Tralnor de
clines to bo a candidate.
Sam Mort la the democratic member who
will retire and the republicans nre talking
of running O. B. Orucc , Mike Stlllmock ,
Tim Flaherty and Fred Wltlhuhn.
To go back to the First ward , It might bo
stated that there does not seem to bo any
organized effort to defeat Kelly. He has ,
It IR stated , acted according to the wishes
of a large number of his constituents and
the same may bo said of Ulr. Barrett , who
represents the Second ward.
Among the prominent Flret ward demo
crats who nro spoken of there are only four
who nro willing to run. Jim Bulla , Jack
Walters and W. S.Vlttcn are employed by
corporations and for various reasons they
are out of the race. John . .Mo.Millan , Henry
Cost and Dan .Hannon . are being seriously
considered as candidaUs , but It will remain
for the convention to decide between this '
trio. In the Second ward John Franek , Kd
Connolly and Henry iMIchols are spoken of. <
Third ward democrats are undecided as yet ,
but John J. Ryan , Patrick Hyland , Tim j
Miillony , John Fallen and Fritz Freltag nre !
being mentioned as possible candidates , i
There seems to .be . an unlimited amount of '
timber In the Fourth ward , as William
Broderick , Peter U-nagh , P. C. Caldwell ,
Charles Wehner , William Mullaly , John
Hnshtirg and Joe Schneider are talked
nbput in addition to Sam iMort , the present
member.
It Is thought that after the conventions
nro held interest in the campaign will be
come more manifest and that meetings will
bo held almost nightly In all of the wards.
It is asserted that
the republicans feel con
fident of cither re-electing the present mem
bers or electing representatives of the party
in their places.
c ( InClt > - ' .Vamp.
Local papers are reviving the scheme of i
changing the name of the city. Several
names have been suggested but non < > have
been decided upon and It Is possible that' i
the matter may go over afeaiu for an in
definite period. The packers will protest
vigorously against a change of name , us it i i
would cost them thousands of dollars to j
change the date line on statlonory now on ' |
hand and also on brands now In use. In
thin connection one packer told Mayor Ensor
that It would cost his house at least $20.000
If the name were changed. With five packIng -
Ing houses here and one stock yard It Is '
Interred that a change of name would entail
an expense of at least $150,009. For this
reason the proposition will be combated j
ty the corporations. I

WOMAN'S POSITION IN INDIA
Thrown on tinSnlijert Iiy a
Native > f HIP Knr Hiixtcra
Country.
An Interesting sketch of woman's position
in ancient and modern India rewarded the
largo audience which listened to Mr. Na- I
I
garkar at Unity church last night. '
Commencing with the most glorious epoch
of Hindu history , when women were the
ornaments of Koclcty and enjoyed privileges
of equality with men , the lecturer reviewed
the Mohammedan conquest and the direful
ravages of the sword of Islam In the elev
enth century , when in order to protect their
women from the assaults of the dcspoller
a system of early marriages was Introduced ,
bringing 1n Its train a gradual degeneracy
of females and a widespread revolution of
society.
With the fall of woman came the lapse
of man and. In the opinion of the speaker ,
the final step toward , .the rehabilitation of
India will be the emancipation of woman ,
for , though he announced his unbelief In
the biblical fall of Adam through Eve , he
Is emphatic in his opinion that woman is
man's only redeemer.
Ills depiction of the pitiable condition of
infant .widows . In India was pathetic in the
extreme.
In referring to the crying need of some
system of female education Mr. Nagarkar ,
while deprecating the proselyting efforts of
English and American missionaries In mat
ters of religion , took occasion to thankfully
acknowledge their work In the mental de-
velopmcnt of women.
"The Hlse and Progress of the Bralnno
Somay" is the subject of Mr. Nagarkar's
lecture Thursday evening.
"Give me a liver regulator uud 1 can regulate -
late the world , " said a genius. The druggist
handed him a bottle of le Witt's Little Early
Risers , the famous llttlo pills.

The case agit'lnst ' C. E. Holmes , charged
with conducting a gambling resort at 1322
Douglas street , was called for trial Tues
day afternoon In police court. The defend
ant's attorney moved to dismiss on the
ground that the complaint was Incomplete ,
becnuso it falk'd to specify the names of
poisons who gambled in the resort. Judge
Gordon overruled the motion and the trial
commenced.
Several witnesses were called , among
them being a couple of young men who were
arrested at the same tlrao Holmes was
brought lo the station. They testified that
they had pla > cd pool and hud been given
chips when the games were paid for. Some
times they shook dice with Holme * to see
whether or not he took a chip or gave tlietn
a rig.v , as the check was not largo enough
to pay for ix cigar.
Detective Savage said ho had been In
the resort a number of times and seen per
sons idaylng poker with pasteboard chips
In front of them. Ho did not eeo a man
leave 'tho place and was not present when
a gamt > began or broke tip. so ho could
not tell what the checks represented. Ho
had seen Holmes shaking dice for checks.

agent for the concern ho pretended to rep
resent , and advertised extensively for agents
to work under him In Nebraska and iowa
territory. All applicants wcro required to

to secure a guarantee bond , and so far ns
the pollco and postal officials have been able
to discover no Jobs were forthcoming. De
tective Dempsey rounded up seven young
men who admitted themselves as victims
and their experiences were related to As
sistant United States Attorney Hush. Some

"I was in pain day and night ; my doctor
did not hoem to help inc. I could not seem to
find any relief until I tookLydlaK. I'inkham's
Vegetable Compound. I had inflammation of the womb , a bearing-down pain ,
and the whites very badly. The pain was BO intense that I could not sleep at
night. I took Lydia 13 , Pin ham's Vegetable Compound for a , few months ,
and am now all right. Before that Itook morphlno pills for my paiiibj that was
n great mistake , for the relief was only momentary and the enVet vile. I am
so thankful to be relieved of my sufferings , for the paiuu I had were something
terrible. " '
