1 THE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY,, DECEMBER 8, 1900. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAIIA Warrant in TTor cf favinc Contractors Eeld Up bj the Citj Clerk. ACTION TAKEN ON ADVICE OF ATTORNEY Harar Cnrrent that Internrhna A. Soathera and Lincoln at Beatrice laternrhaa Companies Ara to Be Consolidated. The city clerk has refused to Issue the warrant In favor of Park, Johnson A Park, which wn ordered by the city coun cil and mayor. The warrant In question Is the 10 per cent retainer, amounting- to t7.026.8A, held In . reserve in the paving of Twenty-fourth street. This amount should be held back according to the provisions of the charter and the contract for one year. The year will not be up for about four months and the retainer was placed on time deposit by the treasurer. If this 1 paid over now the 4 per cent will be reduced to I per cent This the treasurer also objected to. The clerk refused to draw the warrant under the advloe of the city attorney to the effect that the council had no legal right to order the warrant until the full year had expired. Accordingly this explanation will be returned to the city .council at Its next meeting. Consolidating Iarerarbans. The belief Is prevalent among those who have been watching the course of events that the Lincoln & Beatrice Interurban road will eventually be merged Into the Inter urban & Southern for the sake of gaining an easier entrance Into the city of. Omaha and South' Omaha. The difficulty of gain ing the right-of-way over the numerous railways and private property la great. The. Southern Interurban road has already an entrance over the lines of the. Omaha Council Bluffs . street railway. At the board of directors' meeting In Omaha, a few days since the stockholders were asked for $2,v,000 for extension and Improve ments. This Is taken to mean greater ex tensions than those contemplated by thai line' so far as known. . From this - the thinking ones believe that the two lines will be merged. , Bnrsrlar Visits Residence. The residence of G. H. Staley, rs North, Twentieth street, was entered by a burg lar Wednesday night after the family had retired. The Intruder secured J7.60 In cash, a leather cigar case and a woman's purse. He made a safe retreat and the family did not discover Its loss until morning-. En trance waa gained through a window which was found unsecured. The police are work ing on the case, but have little hope of discovering any trace of the burglar. ' Mot Mall . Carriers Authorised. The department has granted two addi tional carriers to the South. Omaha post' office. They will' be added to tha forca January 1. There are three ef the present substitute carriers who will have regular routes after the first of the year.

' Superintendent McLean has called the teachers together at the high school auditorium at S p. m. to hear Miss Brown lee on the subject of "The Moral and Bthtcal Training of Children." It la be lieved that a treat Is In store for the teach ers. Other guests will be made welcome. The next general teachers' meeting will be held at the auditorium Saturday, December 15, at 9' a. m. An excellent program is prepared. The last few days of rain have emphasised the need of better walks at some of the buildings. . , Condition of City Fnnds. The city clerk, J. J.

Friday morning Mr. Savidge passed one of the numerous Salvation Army young women who are collecting Christmas aim In the pots at various downtown street corners. "Miss."' said the preacher, with a smile on trig face, "It's mighty cold standing here. Isn't It, but have you thought that It beats hell a long waysT" With as profound earnestness in which the remark was made the maiden received It and agreed that when she looked out Into the future and contemplated what awaited those who are lost, she would gladly stand there and tap that Christinas pot for winters and winters much colder than this on.

FOOL ENOUGH TO BE WISE On Land Man Wha Removed Ilia Fences In Time to Escapo Prosecution. "I was Just fool enough to tear my fences down when Uncle Sam ordered me to, so I'm Just a witness In these land cases," said H. Green at the Merchants hotel as ha sat picking his teeth, wondering how his thousand cauls on a thousand hills were doing In tha northwest during his ' ab sence. "You see. I had more sense than money, so I Just tore the old fences down and did not get In any trouble with tha govern ment." Mr. Green Is a civil war veteran and has most remarkable memory of things which transpired forty and fifty years ago.
