the accusation of having made an assault
on Mnggta Haas , and the entire fofenoon
was occupied by the selection of n Jury A
number of the Jurors declared that they had
formed positive opinions as to the guilt or
Innocence of the defendant , and they were
promptly excused. The examination of
Jurors by the attorneys for the defense was
very rigorous and It required fully two hours
to secure twelve men who were satisfactory
to both sides.
Only one witness wan examined during the

testimony were sufficiently salucloun to
satisfy oven the morbidly Inclined crowd
that packed the court room , and they were

childish modesty. Judge Baker rigidly ex

A dlvertlsomeut was created In police court
by 13 Lange when ho was arraigned on the
charge of vagrancy Ho looked pretty tough
and the court came to the conclusion that
hla lines had not been cast In pleasant
places He was Inclined to be easy on
Langc , but the defendant would not have It
that way. Ho was obstreperous from the
first when the complaint vas read to him.
"Vagrancy ? What's that ? " he asked.
"Why that jou have no visible means of
support that jou don't do anything , " ex
plained the judge.
"Oh , that I llvo around In houses und
don't work' I plead guilt } . "
"Where do ) ou live ? "
"Most anywhere"
"What do } ou < do' "
"Sit around the saloons dnd drink tea and

"What will jou do If I let } ou go ? "
"Do the same thing again , I guess , "
"Well , I guess you will not for a few

The Omaha charter amendment" , which
nre to become part and parcel of Omaha's
i , bill of rights If the governor attaches his
I signature to the bill that has passed the
| i ' legislature , bears but n rather faint re-
semblance to the amendments evolved by
i the charier revision committee. In some1
( cases whole sections of the original bill
| , were killed and almost every one of the
j I remainder was cut and slashed until rccog-
I nltlon has become somewhat dltllcult Under
. the amended bill , however , sotno radical
I changes are made In the existing charter
Among the amendment ! that wore killed
{ outright was the one which provided for the
assessment of railroad property within the
city upon the fa.ma basis as the property
of orlvato Individuals and taxpnjors of the
j ! city. Another amendment that was bodllv
cut was Tax Commissioner Sackott's scheme
( of levying n poll tax of $2 a joar upon every
mate citizen of Omaha. The former amend
I ment was vigorously fought by the rallroids
and their emissaries at Lincoln , the latter
was regarded by the legislators as uncon
stitutional
The amendments that will probably be of
the most Interest to Omahnns are these
vhlch deal with the municipal body politic ,
of which there nro several , Ono of these
changes Is the time of holding the city olec
lions. The first election of city officers
under the new law will be postponed from
March to tlio first Tuesday In May , 1900. The
next election will occur three years and scv-
j oral months afterward , being held In the fall
I of 1903 Elections will be held every three
years afterword. The officers elected In the
spring of 1900 will assume office on July 1
und will servo for three years nnd six months
until January 1 , ISO I.
Dnulilrftiiiulior of Councllmcn.
At this election all city officers will be
elected except the police Judge , whoso elec
tion Is provided for In a separate bill , and
1 some of the city councilman. In connection
j with the latter officers another decided
i change from the existing condition of things
I Is made. The number of councllmen lias
been Increased from nine to eighteen , nine
of whom are to be ward councllmen and nine
counciltnen-nt-largo. The nine
, - ward coucll-
men , to be elected by their respective wards ,
are elected as the other city officers A dif
ferent method Is to bo cmplojcd In the elec
tion of the nlno councllmen-at-large , who
are to bo voted for by all the electors of the
city. They will bo elected in the spring
election of 1000 , but three of them will servo
a term of only one jear nnd six months to
January , 1 , 1902 , another three will servo
two jcars and six months until January t ,
1903 , and the remaining trio -will be In office
for three jcars and sl\ months until Janu
ary 1 , 1904
Thereafter three councllmen-at-largo will
be elected In the fall of each year for a term
of three jears to succeed the three councilmen -
men -whoso terms expire In the- succeeding
January Thus , besides the gem-nl city
election every three jears , the c'ty ' will each
fall hold a special election to c'lset three
' , councllmen. The salary of the councllmen
has been decreased from $900 to $500 a } car.
The voters of Omaha will also be called
upon to cast their ballots for a now cltyi
officer at the general city election. This Is
the street commissioner , whose office has
been transferred from an appointive to an
elective position. The first election Is to beheld
held in May , 1DOO. In the meantime the
present commissioner will serve until July
1 of this jear , when the mayor and council 1
shall make another appointment for a term
extending from that date until July 1 , 1900.
The salary of the etreet commissioner has
been Increased from $1,200 to $1,800 a year.
At present the str et commissioner draws an
additional $300 for the HBO of a horse.
Police .ImlKc n cr > Tr < > eiirx.
The election of a police Judge Is pro-
vlded for In a separate bill , which will aUo
become a law If the governor signs It. Ta.i
IIret election of a police Judge will be held
next fjll and then every two years therr-
after. The police Judge could not ibe elec-
ted every three yearn with the oilier city
officials , because the constitution of the
state requires a term of two years
The following salaries of city officials
have been Increased- City comptroller ,
from $1,800 to $2,500 , city clerk , from $1SOO
to $2,000 , police Judge , from $1,200 to $1,800 ,
city prosecutor , from $900 to $1,200 The
'bonds ' of all officers ahall bo supplied by
guaranty companies and the city Is to pay
the premium The bond of the city
comptroller Is Increased from $5,000 to $30-
000. This latter amendment -was adopted
because In the future the comptroller In
stead of the city treasurer will bo required
to soil all bonds Issued by the city.
The minimum wage of $65 that must be
paid all firemen and policemen under the
present charter Is stricken out entirely. In [
the future the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners can start In a man In the
department at $50 and Increase hla wages
according to the length of his service. The
maximum pay of captains has been Increased -
j creased from $90 to $100 a month. The
amendments also ralso the maximum levy
that can bo made for the fire fund from
$125,000 to $160,000 This was done to enable -
able the city to ralso enough money to buy
some now lire apparatus that will soon be
needed. The amendment raising the sink
ing fund was killed.
The terms of the members of the Doard of
Tire and Police Commissioners and of the
Board of Park commissioners are fixed This
Is an entirely new provision In the charter
because the supicmo court has only recently
given tbo mayor and council the power to
appoint these boards , The members of the
Board of Tire and Pollen Commissioners will
serve under their present appointments and
at the expiration of tbo terms of tervlco 'M '
each n successor will bo appointed by the
mayor and council to serve four jears The
members of the present Board of Park Com-
mUsloners will be out of office when the bill
becomes a law , and the mayor must appoint
a new board The members shall servo until
January 1 In 1901 , 1902 , 1903 , 1804 nnd 1903.
respectively Successors will bo appointed
for terms of five jeure.
I.etn Out AtlvUory Hoard.
Ono of the few original amendments un
changed Is the otic abolishing tlio advisory
board. The Hoard of Public Worka will aUci
bo changed In personnel It will bo com
posed of the city engineer , the building Inspector
specter and the street commissioner. At pres
ent the two officers first named and the city
comptroller make up the board
Another amendment which remains un
changed is that which provides for the Is
suance of certificates of deposit In place of
outstanding warrants. Under the present
plan If there IB no money In any city fund
to pay obligations registered warrants bearIng -
Ing 7 per cent Interest are Ibsued to the
limit of 90 p r cent of the levy for that
fund and remain outstanding and drawing
lute-re&t until money Is available Under
the new law no Interest tearing warrants
are to be Issued. If there la no money
In any fund certificates of Indebtedness to
the limit of 90 per cent of the levy for that
fund may be lejued In blocks of $300 and
$1.000. These certificates tiuall run for nj
time less than a jear and be sold to the
highest bidder or the one making the best
proposition for the purchase of the certlfl-
eatoa It U believe that the certificates
cau be floated at as Jon as1 and even 3W
per cent Intercut.lth th" proceed *
from those certificates all wirr.uts shall be
paid , no warrant being Issued unless there
Is cash on hand. The certificates will bo
,
tnken up ai the levy Is p ld In. The dlf '
ference betwrcn the old and new ? j tcms li
this The city. Instead of being debtor to
many Individuals who have claims against
It , will borrow money enough lo meet all
Its obligations and pay Its bills in cash. I
This now evfttem will save the city In In
terest the difference between th " per cent
that Is now paid on outstanding warrants
and the lower per cent nt which It Is ex-
peeled the bonds can be floated It will also
do anay with the trouble that claimants
agnlnst the city now have In getting their
money. |
I'n ltiK When I'ftllloiieil Tor. I
There are n few changes In the paving
provisions of the pre < > cnt charter The
j amendment i permitting the council to
I order < paving or repavlng In the city subject
to protest from property owner * within
thlrt > dais was killed In fact , the power
conferred by the present charter In the I ,
council to order rcpnvlng In this way was
taken awnj. Hereafter no paving or repayIng -
Ing can bo done unless the owners of the
1 majority of the property fronting the street
petition for It The council , however , may ,
, as under the present charter , arbitrarily
| order paving or repavlng within 3000 feet
of the court hou c. Contracts for paving
j will bo made the same wny as now , for the
Crow bill , which would have destroyed
competition , was killed
The ruost important paving amendment is
one which will enable property owners on
ti majority petition to secure the repavlnq
of a street on which the old pavement Is
not worn out. The property owners who
desire to tear tip the present stone pave
ment on Karnain street , between Ninth and
Eighteenth and replace it with asphalt found
they could not do this under the present
charter. City Attorney Council gave It ns
his opinion that no pavement In peed condi
tion can bo torn up to make way for other
pavement.
Not the least important of all the amend
ments is one providing tor the annexitlon
of adjoining towns and villages to Omilin.
This amendment gives the power to the
major and city council of each town to mib-
mlt an annexation proposition to the people.
If the major and council refuse to do this
voluntarily they are compelled to do so on
a petition signed by BOO propertj owners.

Very few ivard meet tigs have been hold

politician said yesterday afternoon that he
considered that the republicans had the best

wards where petition candidates were work-
