AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Eersral Attempts to Bring: Abevt RsmoTal
of Oitj froiicatsr Murphy.
LEGALITY OF THE PLACE IN DOUBT
It Is Asserlecl Thai In Ihn Ner
Charter There I Xn Provision for
tun t'lly Prosrcnlor'a
(lltlrr,
Two or three attempts have been made
lately by a certain faction In tho city coun
cil to cauio the removal of City Prosecutor
Henry C. Murphy. Whllo no cpeclflc charges
woro made It uas Intimated that tho mnn
ner In which he conducted tho affairs of his
ofllce wns distasteful to Bomo of tho cltv
ofllclnls. When It carao to a voto nt the
last meeting thero was no choice, as tho
tally resulted In n tie.
One reason for asking Mr. Murphy to
step down nnd out was thnt tho new char
ter docs not provide for the office of cltv
prosecutor. However, ho holds offlco bv
virtue of an ordinance passed by the coun
cil nnd wns nppolnted by the mayor nnd
confirmed by tho council.
It Is understood that City Attornoy Lam
bert asserts that Mr. Murphy Is of no assist
ance to him In the handling of the city's
legal cases, ns nil ho does In to nttend to
prosecutions In tho police court. Mr. Lam
bert would like to have nn assistant cltv
nttorney named Instead of n city prosecutor
so ns to relieve him of Borne of the dotall
work of the legal depnrtmerft.
In reply to thoJo who sny that Murphy's
nppolntmcnt Is not legal, certain members
of tho city council cite section 26 of the
new charter, which rends as follows- "The
mayor nnd council shall have tho power
to creato nny office or employ any agent
they may deem necessary for tho govern
ment nnd best Interests of the city and
to preocrlbc nnd regulate tho duties, powers
and compensation of nil officers, ngents nnd
servants of the city not herein provided
for. Hut. nil such ngettts, offlcorB and
servants employed or appointed under this
act, so far ns practicable, must be qualified
voters of tho city."
It is stated that this section gives tho
council tho power to create oftlceB and
namo employes or agents ,ind therefore
tho appointment of Mr. Murphy Is held to
bo good. The chances are that he will
serve out his term, which will not expire
until April, 1902.
Cltj- Council TnniKlit.
At the meeting of tho city council tonight
each member will present the names of
six members of the board of registration.
This yeor tho registration will bo hold In
twelve precincts, two in each ward. Most
of tho members of tho council havo solected
tho names of the board In their respective
wnrds, but there Is some difficulty nbout
finding sultnblo places for tho holding of
sessions of tho bonrd.
Commencing on October 17 tho board will
sit for one dny. Then the next session will
be hold on October 25, Tho last session
will be held on November 2. All persons
desiring to vote nt the coming election will
bo required to register, na the books nro
revised only In the nprlng. For the regulnr
November election now records nro made.
Another feature of tho meeting to hn
held tonight Is tho opening of bids for the
general nnd special bonds ndvertlsed for
Borne time ngo. Hlds will be received for
these bonds by tho city clerk up to 5 o'clock
mis ovcnlng. On nccount of tho numoroun
Inquiries It Is thought thnt the bidding will
do nriax.
ComplellnR Tax llonka.
City tnxes for 1901 fnll due on October 1
and In order to complete tho records In time
It wns necessary for some of tho tax com
missioner's force to work yesterday. Tax
Commissioner FltzRernlfl mado tho stato-

have Bought "The Nebraska's
aid in Heloetinj; their fall at
tire. Every line, every curve,
every detail of his suit in cor
rect, as you'll admit. It is what
is known as a ready-mndo
suit. Formerly this man hnd
his suit, made to order and
paid three times as much for
tho style, the pattern, the ef
feet, that he paid here for this
very fashionable outfit. Could
anything be neater or nob
Iyer? And combining all these
elements of fashion which this
suit undeniably presents,
with the advantage of tho low

naturally arises
Suit
Dep't
"We find we had to come back." "We
looked through every store in Omaha and
are tired out, but we had to come back for
that suit." These and kindred remarks are
frequently heard in our cloak department.
We spared no expense or time in gathering
together from the best manufacturers their
best tilings in jackets, suits, furs, skirts and
waists. From the tremendous increase in
our business ami the words of praise we hear
from a constant stream of purchasers, wo
ire convinced that there is no house today,
on the American continent giving as good
values for the same money as "The Rig
Store."
