blue diamond, said to be the largest, most
brilliant and beautiful blue diamond In ex

Franco, ' but during the turmoil cf that
period It was lost, together with the Eancy,
another larger diamond subsequently re
covered; the blue diamond, however, wa
never again heard of In the trade, or by
the public. The "Hope Diamond." a large
blue atone weighing about forty-four and a
half carats, once owned by a. Mr. Hope, Is
the only diamond of that color at all to be
compared In size and beauty to the lost
crown Jwrl since it disappeared, but the
Slope diamond is far lpfrrlor to It in aire,
brilliancy and value. All large jewel

Speculation was rlf yesterday to
what action Mayor Koutsky would take la
connection with th report ot tbe license
committee In regard to the opening of sa
loon on Sunday. ,
When Interrogated yesterday afternoon
by a Bee reporter Mayor Koutsky deliv
ered himself of a few remark about those
who hav been pretending to be hi friend
nd then went on to say that be had not
made op hi tnlnd yet wbat he would do.
H declared that after a consultation with
th city attorney and other be anight give
aa opinion later la tbe week.
Among the liquor dealer th Idea pre
vail that th adoption of the report of the
license committee by tbe council settles
the matter and tbat all th mayor bas te
do Is to settle back In his chair and aay
nothing. One city official said last wventng
that he did not see how ths mayor could
hope to win out by golns erslnst tbe eolld
vote of the council. "If h doe." catd
this member, "he will have a hard time
getting through any improvements or ap
pointments that h desires, aa th council
aa It stands now will overrule any veto
th mayor may hand down."
But this la not all the grief that I com
ing to tboae wbo anticipate the Sunday
opening of saloons. There Is t be joint
meeting of tbe Taxpayer' league and th
Antl-Baloos league on Thursday Bight,
when tbe question of mandamuses aad
other point of law will be brought up.
An attorney bas been secured and It I un
derstood tbat the two leagues propose to
orc Mayor Koutsky to etick te bis Sun
day cloalng order whether he want to or
sot.
Miller Oversteps Aathorltjr.
Yesterday Mayor Koutskr and the mem
ber of the council were apprised of tb
fact that Aucust Millar, atrnat fnnno.
had enme two week ago ordered from a
locai Dunning material firm a carload of
vitrified brick. The Brm had to aend te
Dei Moines for tbe brick and the ear wag
unloaded without delay In order to save
demurrage. Now the building material
concern ha tbe brick, oa hand and the
council declines to pay for the same, as
serting that Miller had no authority to
order the brick.
The carload eost fits and the freight
added make tbe total 1170. A demand ha
been made on th city for the money, but
the eouncllmen assert that aa Miller or
dered the material without havlpg- been
given Instructions be alone caa be held
liable. According to the rule of the coun
cil a treet foreman ha no right to order
material of any kind without first securing
the approvat of tbe street and alley com
mittee and th sanction of tb mayor.
When Miller ordered tbe carload . of
c- -i Ul ne wanted It to re
pair the asphalt pavement os Twenty
fourth street. At tb time the order wa
given tbe city wa advertising for bid for
the repairing of the street with eonerote
and asphalt. A the street foreman Is aot
under bond It Is expected that suit will
b Commenced against bla psrsonally for
th value of the brick, aa there I ao de
mand here at thl time for paving brick.
. Habeas Corpse BastalaeA, -
Judge Estell yesterday; granted; to Mag
Rosenthal a writ of habeas corpus. In tb
matter of the fine which wa Imposed upon
blm a few day ago la the police court.
Tbe prosecution arose under tbe solicitors'
ordinance and the objection raised wa
that tb license fee asked wa excessive.
In the ruling Judge Estelle stated that the
fee waa not exceaslre, ae It waa a revenue
raising act under which the city was act
big when th ordinance was pasaed and that
the only flaw la the ordinance wa the
fact Xhat It provided for the employer of
tb solicitor taking out a license and aot
tbe solicitor himself. It was stated yes
terday tbat at the nsxt meeting of the
council tbat body will be asked to amend
tha ordinance la tbia one respect, and that
when that la dons all parties participating
in tie business of eolIciUag will be ex
pected to provide themselves with a li
cense before doing business. Prosecutions
will be vigorously maintained aa aooa a

MUSICIANS AGAINST MERCER
Tssy Deetarw at Carsaa.ea Kept
l'ala Mew Oat mt En.
tlsyaesl.
At a meeting ot the Omaha Musician'
union Tuesday morning a resolution calling
upon th friend ot organised labor to op
pose David H. Mercsr wa adopted.
Tb trouble between Mr. Mercer and the
nnlon grow out of hi alleged action la
tb employment' of th Twenty-second
regiment band for th recent excursion ta
Deadwood. . George, Abbott, manager of
en of the MuBlcal union bands, said:
"When th men wbo arranged tbe Dead
wood excursion decided tbat they wanted
th band from Fort Crook they called upon
Colonel Miller ot th -Twenty-second regi
ment, and were told that It would be Im
possible tor tbe band to accompany tbeta
09 the trip. They then came to m and
asked me If I could form a band for th
occasion. I told, them I eould and wa
Instructed to get my men together to leav
at a moment' notice. . At tbe same time
I wa told tbat it the Tort Crook band
could be secured f would not be wanted.
Relying on the decision of the colonel a
final. I went ahead, only to End the morn
ing the excursion was to start that Mercer
had called on General Bates and had the
decision of the colonel aet aside.
"Tbe band at Fort Crook Is a govern
ment organisation. ' It men are paid by
the cltlsena and the musicians of Omaha
pay their proportion. It doea not seem
fair to ua to have this band come in and
take from o eur or-ly mean Cf support.
W would have had a week's employment
tor twenty men If Mr. Mercer had let us
aloha, but ha seems to have little regard
for tbe worklngmaa and tha worklngmau
will take the opportunity to return to him
in kind. He threw us out of a Job and
we will see If we can get blm out ot the
Job be hold." !
At the meeting of the nntoa yesterday
It was decided to bring the resolution
before the Central Labor union for th
combined action of all of tbe unions of
th city. If tbat anion endorses th posi
tion ot the Musical union a similar resolu
tion will be sent to tbe Trade and Labor
asaembly of South Omaha.
