OBJECTIONS TO BOND ISSUE City Offloials ProBranoe Propogftd Ordinance I Seedlesg fcnd FrematTire, DEBTS CAN BE LIFTED BY TAX LEVY X I-aae la Intended to Raise Moner to Cover Special Taxes l"an .j ( celled hr Coart Action " i, i la PreraaUrCi The refunding bond ordinance Introduced It tba laat council meeting 1 attracting; considerable atteatlon. City offlclala who bad little to ear on tha aubject a week ago axe now outspoken In tbelr denunciation of tha measure. The city treasurer and the city comp troller agree that there Is no need for the passage of such an ordinance. Thejr com pare It with the refunding ordinance passed February t, 1898. which provided for an Issue of $300,000 la bonds "for the purpose of funding, taking up and making payment of the floating lndebtednesa and liabilities Of the city." The ordinance now pending before the council has the same heading. The only difference Is la the amount of the onds. The Issue of 1898 baa been severely criticised, for the reason that a large part of the money derived therefrom waa used (n paying obligations which should have een taken care of in another way, namely, from the regular tax levy. The $300,000 in refunding bonds Issued tn 1898 cold at a premium of $7,216.67, which tnade the total amount $307,216.67. This money, as shown by the record In the office tof tba comptroller, was used to fund war ranta aa follows: On account of the general fund.,..$ 15.644.74 Fire fund 7. 39.690.62 Police fund 23,075. ?7 rewer maintaining fund 4.096.M .Ightln fund 43.420.85 Water rent i,023.73 Judgment fund 83.3X1.77 Curb, gutter and cleaning fund.,.. 2,788.19 Chicago atreet sewer main fund.... 697.02 Ip&mage to grade on Seventeenth street, Vinton to Castellar 410.00 Express on bonds 160.00 Total ..... $306,192.77 Present Floating; Debt. The Item of Indebtedness now outstand ing against the city which correspond with the foregoing are aa follows: Sinking fund (maturing bonds and coupons unpaid) $37,062.52 (Water rent.... 6,040.00 Ughtlng 4,014.12 ftreet repairs..... 6.013.86 udgments 1,267.68 (Library ..... ....... 1,060.45 Total ..... .$46,438.63 "There la no question," said the city Comptroller, "for Issuing bonds for the can cellation of the foregoing, because each Item can be taken care of from this year's tax levy when It la made. In fact, there la no floating indebtedness against the city, except auch aa can be disposed of In this way, unless it should be In the way of spe cial taxes cancelled by decree of court. In which case they should be gone over very carefully by the proper authorities and auch taxes aa can be abould be relevled. JVhen there Is absolutely no hope for re (levying, then It would be permissible, tipon proper showing, to issue bonds to take up any Indebtedness chargeable to auch defunct levies, The principal objec tion to the ordinance is that it is pre mature. We should wait until we find out what the courts are going to do with all those special tax auits which are pending, and then, if we must issue bonds, we'll know what amount the city will need to meet Its obligations." REUNION OF PENNSYLVANIANS 3ox Lunch Substitutes Baaq.net ' In Program of Tbla Year's En tertainment. . The Pennsylvania club of Omaha held Its fourteenth annual reunion last evening in Myrtle ball. Continental block. The club's membership numbers over 1,200. The at tendance last evening waa f ujly equal to that of last year, when nearly 900 attended the banquet and entertainment. This year the club changed Its reunion plans.' No banquet was given last evening, but a box lunch was substituted, and as these boxes were designedly. In many instances, f,ull pf. things other than pie and cake, the dis tribution by auction sale disclosed sur prising Indentures, of which the eloquent auctioneer and attractive exterior wrap pings gave no suggestion. ' The program for the entertainment waa tnade up of recitations, aongs and Instru mental muslo. ' The Pennsylvanlo club is the only state Club that bsa maintained its existence in Omaha. Several were organized during the Transmlaslsslppi exposition, but disap peared soon afterward.

Gordon received two distinct Jolts from the strong arm of the law yester day, one delivered by Judge Dlcklnaon and the other . by Judge Keysor. The first was refusal to grant the temporary Injunction asked to prevent the payment of Judge Berka's salary as police Judge for Jsnuary, and the dissolution of the restraining order which the court had allowed pending the hearing of the argument on this motion. City Attorney Connell'e part of the argu ment waa not lengthy, but Judge Eller, representing Judge Gordon, dragged on at such longth that for the last two days of the four that the case has occupied in court the room has been shunned as though un der quarantine. The second knockout wss the refusal of Judge Keysor to allow Eller to file an amended petition in the case of W. C Toder to enjoin the payment of the mayor's sal ary. The court has dismissed this case and charged the costa to Toder. Foley's Honey and Tar la beat for croup and whooping cough, contains no opiates and curea quickly. Careful mothers keep it tn the house. Announcements of the Theaters. Raymond and Kukamp are contributing a variety of muslo to the bill on view at the Orpheum this week.

Miss Raymond will be remembered from the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition, where her cor net playing was a feature. She is a master of this Instrument. Of the many women who have played here on thla instrument she probably excells.

WOULD EXCLUDE CERTAIN CANDIDATES One Featare of Plaa Is to Change I Bonndarles So That AasTaat MIN ler Will Reside Ontslde Fonrta Ward. A plan is now being proposed by certain members of the city council to redlstrict the wards before the coming election. When this 'fact becomes known it may cause a number of candidates to wear wor ried looks, as it may leave them out in the cold. Slates for candidatea are now being made up and after the nominations are made and the situation it positive the present council. If it so desires, can change the boundaries of the wards. After the laat spring election and after the present charter went into effect a change was made from four warde to six wards, In conformity with the charter. This neces sitated the appointment of two eouncllmen. Mayor Kelly bad in mind his appointees and so arranged the boundaries so as to take In Vansant and Johnston. Now the plan is to so arrange the lines at to shut out undesirable candidatea. Another feature la the Third ward line. which runs from east to west along R street, with the exception that a jog ia made so as to cut the Swift packing house. This lines gives two assessors an oppor tunity of making assessments at Swifts. Councilman say that this should be changed so that one assessor should make the assessment for this corporation. Another ot the schemes is to so arrange the lines to prevent August Miller of the Fourth Ward from making the race for re-election. At the council is republican the democrats will have little if anything to say when it comes to the changing of the ward lines. Chief Etter Remonstrates. Chief Etter ot the fire department is preparing a communication to be sent' to the city council in connection with the dead street car rails on the streets. At Twenty-seventh and L atreets there is a T, which has broken more fire apparatus than any piece of track in the city. Months ago the city council asked the Omaha Street Railway company to remove these rails, but no attention has to far been paid to the request. On N street one line of dead tracks extends from Twenty-fourth street to a short distance west of Twenty- sixth street. These tracks have not been used for years and. a number of requests; have been made by the city officials for the removal of what it termed obstructions to traffic. In making a run to a firs st Swift's early Sunday morning, hose, wagon No. 1 struck the - dead ralla at Twenty-fourth and N streets, and the cart wss considerably dam aged. The city will be put to the expense of not less than $15 for repairs caused by these rails. t In speaking ot the matter last night Chief Etter said that it the unused oar tracks In the city were taken up the city would be saved considerable money each year in repairs to apparatus. Chances at Hammond's. C. S. Felch, who baa been in charge of the Hammond plant here since the bouse was re-opened last fall, has been transferred to Chicago, where he will occupy the po sition of general timekeeper. During the time the plant here remains In operation Mr. Phlpps will have the place formerly occupied by Mr. Felch. Those In the em ploy of the company here understand that I the plant may be shut down at any time, only a couple of dozen men now being held here on steady time. . Hanson Resumes Grading-. Dsn Hannon has resumed the grading of the alley between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth atreets from F to O streets. The dirt used in making this fill is being taken from the lots on the east side of Twenty-third street north of O street. It the weather holda good the contractor ex pect! to complete the grading within a very short time. Plant ia On. Since John Henry Loechner has been cleared by the courts on the charge ot malfeasance in office as a member ot the Board of Education he has announced that he will go after the nomination for mayor on the democratic ticket in earnest. A well known democrat said last night that from present indications the fight at the democratic primaries, to be held on March 14. would be between Ensor and Loechner. Sloane Is not being considered, as It la generally understood that he is looking for the nomination on the labor ticket. New Planing; Mill. Yesterday R- IS. Farks Jb Co, secured a permit from the building Inspector for the construction of a planing mm at Twenty- eighth and K streets. Lumber dealers ex pect to do considerable business here in the spring and the proprietors ot the new planing mill company look forward to a busy season. Work on the mill ia to be started just as soon at the weather will permit Conacll Meetlaa ToalBt. An adjourned meeting ot the city council ia billed for tonight and there seems to be some prospects of a quorum. Some grading matters are to be taken up and arrangements made for paying a coupon on a paving district which Is now due. The members of the council do not look tor sn extended session, as It Is understood that the mayor will not insist upon appointing a library board at this session. Socialists Select Ticket. Members of the socialist party met last night and aelected the following ticket: Mr or James Salmon: treasurer. T. I Phillips; city clerk, Z. Markstall; council- men First ward, A. W.
