The raid was made about o'clock last night. It had been learned by the Sarpy county sheriff that the women, notably Irene Combs, had been selling liquor with out a county license. The officers found several cases of beer and some other liquor, which they confiscated and carried to the Bouth Omaha city Jail. The family claimed to have a government license, but this was not satisfactory to the officers. Tho family is thought to have kept the liquor for sale on account of the at r let Sunday closing reg ulations In force In Bouth Omaha.

Beall of Baltimore, who re cently returned from that territory. "The prlnclpiil thing to be careful aboat Is keeping the head, hands and feet warm. In that part of Alaska where 1 have been the only land transportation Is by dog sleds, and to follow them one hits to drop Into a dog trot beside the sled. "in ordinary suit Is plenty thick enough S keep you warm, and an overcoat Is dan gerous In that temperature. Trotting along side a sled wearing an overcoat would make you perspire, and the bitter cold would freeze the perspiration. "The men there wear a fur cap that ci.v ers every part of the head and face except the eyes, and there Is only a little peep hole for them. Wool-llnd mitts are worn on the hands, and moccasins, with woolen stock ings, on tho feet." Major Beall has ,been three years In Alaska, commanding Fort Oibbon, the gar rison consisting of twd companies of ihe Third United States Infantry. "Fort Gibbon Is 900 miles up the Yuiton river and seventy-five miles south of tho Arctic circle," he said, "and the river Is frczen up most of the year, in that tune dog sleds are used, but when the river opens steamers come up frequently. Some times the rough characters trave.lng around the country take possesion of a l iver staamer, and It's part of our work to restore order and recapture the steamer. "Tho chief work of the soldiers at Fort Uibbon Is to keep the telegraph lines go ing. Since laying the cable from Seattle the United States government has had all the mining camps connected by tele graph, and it is our work to maintain them. We keep order la the country nnd protect the people agnlnst stealing by traveling roughs. VWhenever we send any of our men out we always have men experienced in me ways of the country go along. We are careful with our men and none of them get frozen. Another danger that has to be guarded against is breaking through tho ice, for the zero weather will freozo a man quickly when tie has become wet. Baltimore Sun.

Ad Omaha, Neb, , ;1 At an adjourned meeting of the city couts ell held Saturday night three Omaha public service corporations were brought Into the councllmanic spot light. The three In ques tion were the street car, gas and electric light companies. Councilman Bridges offered an Innocent looking little resolution which he explained was a reminder for the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company that on De cember 11 the city council cussed a "uni versal" transfer ordinance, and that on January 10 It will be expected that the street car company carry out the provis ions of such ordinance. Councllmen Davis and Brucker thought the resolution was premature. Inasmuch as January 10 was some days hence. As a matter of fact the resolution was offered for the purpose of getting some light on an amendment which has been pre pared to that ordinance after a. consulta tion by street car company representatives and the railway committee of the council. Councilman Zlmman declared that the street car company can and should carry out the provisions of the ordinance, and he objected to such meetings as the one held during the week at the office of Attorney John l. Webster, who represented the street car company. An expression of the present temper of the council was obtained by the vote which followed, the vote to table the resolution being 7 against and 5 for and the vote to adopt the resolution be ing 8 to 4 In favor of such action. All of which would suggest the fate of the amend ment when It Is brought up for considera tion In the council chamber. More for Municipal Electric Plant. Councilman McGovern led the charge agalnBt the electric light company. Mr. Mc Oovern Introduced an ordinance to author ize the mayor to Issue a proclamation for a special city election November 5, 1S07, to al low the electors to vote on the matter of issuing $500,000 In bonds for the establish ment of a municipal electric light plant. The bonds are to be of $1,000 each, of twenty years' life and to draw 4 per cent Interest. That ordinance was read a first and second time and referred in the usual manner to the lighting committee. Mr. McOovern said he was In dead earnest about the matter and believed It would be a boon to the citi zens to vote for such a proposition. Then Councilman Davis offered a con current resolution that 2.1 cents per hour per arc lamp be deducted from the electric light company s bill against tne cny ror all "outage" of arc lamps, instead of 2 cents as Is now the case. Mr. Davis said he had figured It down carefully and nr. rived at 2.1 cents as 4 correct figure, while City Electrician Mlchuelsen showed that 2.05 would be the figure, according to his reckoning. The Davis resolution was unani mously adopted. During his remarks on 'outage" of arc lamps Mr. Davis said many arc lamps are out some time before they aro reported and that some are never reported at all, In some Instances tne fail ure being due to lack of patrolmen, who are required to make reports of arc lamps not burning. Gas Compsnr Conies Kext. . Councilman Funkhouser's ordinances on the gas commissioner matter were reaa first and second times and referred to a committee. One ordinance provides for the duties, term of office, manner of appoint ment and other details of the office of gas commissioner, while the second goes into detail as to the quality of gas that must be furnlBhed In Omaha and how the com missioner shall proceed to make tests. Both ordinances have already been explained In detail. Mr. Funkhouser also had an ordinance providing . that the city electrician shall have control of all gas and electric city lights and of all electric meters In the city. In addition the electrician shall have under his supervision meters by which he may determine what current the city Is receiv ing under Us contract with the electric light company. This ordinance was referred to the lighting committee. Tho city clTk was directed by resolution to advertise for bids for apparatus needed by the gas commissioner for tests of gas and meters and for the city electrician In the matter of keeping a check on currents to the arc lamps. An ordinance appropriating $3,500 for the maintenance of a hospital for contagious diseases was passed on final reading. In connection with that ordinance a concur rent resolution was adopted to authorise the mayor to enter Into a contract with the Visiting Nurses' association, which organi sation will have charge of the hospital, the health commissioner, however, to be In real authority. T e contract will be for a year, the city reserving the right to term inate It at any time. Contract for City Hall Repairs. It was resolved that the bid of Ruther ford & Jenson for the repairs of the city hall be uccepted and a contract prepared. Tho consideration Is $2, 18, which was the lowe.-t of six bids. J. C. Rltchey will be awarded a contract for tho construction of a temporary work house for $238. The workhouse will be at Twelfth and Nicholas, near the paving plant. Mayor Puhlnian rejected two Items on the general appropriation ordinance, the Items being for supplies for the treasurer's office. The city legal department held that according to a charter provision the city should pay the county only ll.ouo a year and 1 per cent of collections as expenses for collection and disbursement of city taxes. A concurrent resolution offered by Coun cllman Brucker to direct the building In spector to have removed certain building was adopted. The resolution referred to small homes of squatters on North Thlr teenth street. An ordinance regulating auctioneers In Omaha was Introduced and referred to the committee on Judiciary. This ordinance places auctioneers under bonds and hold them liable for all misrepresentations Fraternal t alon of America.

COLORED SIRENS ARE ACTIVE Several Visitors Tonchetl, One to Extent of Hnndred and Eighty Hollars. The rain of Saturday night, while Inter fering considerably with the usual week end business of the big stores, failed to put any damper on the operations of the colored women of the Third ward. One of the first victims was a former special policeman of San Francisco, whose experi ence in the wicked western metropolis failed to render him proof against Omaha' accomplished women of color. His name Is J. L. Holly and he reported the loss of $5 to a dusky maiden. He forgot the place, but one of his cards left behind gave the police the clue. A portly man, who confessed to the name of John Smith, and who snld he Is about to move to Texas, told the police a rtegress with nimble fingers got his roll, containing tlSU without his knowing It at tho time. Smith's home Is In Omahn and he will have to rema'.n awhile now. unless his wad is found, as the woman secured nearly all he had. During tho night the police raided many of the houses In the neighborhood of Eleventh street and Capitol nvenue, making a general cleaning out of all colored rn sorts. Both men and women wore placed behind the bars snd bonds refusfd for the nlsht. Among those arrested ars the ones who had their fingers in the two cases of theft reported.
