For over an hour Monday afternoon the city council in committee of tho whole threshed over the Zlmman ordinance, which was Intended to reduce expenses of the city next year by cutting off a number of employes who are said to be doing work which could be performed by others now on the payroll. At times the argument grew warm, and once or twice became sul phurous, when Councilman Bridges took the floor to give his opinion of the at tempt which he said that he saw to take democrats from the payroll and make re publicans do the work. Mr. Zlmman was the only member of the council to favor the ordinance, and in stating his position said that he did not care who waa dismissed from the payroll but that the statements of the city en- have opened an office, room 336 Bee Bids-, lnleT Bnd "tre,t commissioner agreed in where all business for the western terri tory will be conducted.

As a rule all hours of the day look Hike, and feel alike, to the dyspeptic there is no hankering for breakfast, no nawlng for lunch, and no mouth-water tig for dinner. Disgust takea the place were the fact that the employes of one office could do much of the work performed by the other, and that as, the charter gave the city engineer the right to employ and regulate his force the council could only reduce expenses by cutting off sinecures where it had the power. After a long and desultory discussion the ordinance was sent to the council Tues day night with the recommendation that It be tabled. All members but Zlmman voted In the affirmative. - An attempt by paving contractors to se cure the release of a large part of the money now held by the (Mty as surety for the fulfillment of guarantees on contract will come up Tuesday flight after mem bers of the (Wuriell have conferred with the legal department. Representing the Bar ber Asphalt Paving company, James H. Adams presented a resolution to he effect that upon the deposit of a surety bond for the amount, the contractors should be per mitted to withdraw these "funds, leaving In their place a fund which shall be equal to 60 per cent more than the amount re talned on the largest contract. At present the fund on each contract amounts to 10 per cent of the total contract. Several thousand dollars would be released to con tractors and the attorney says the city would be well protected, since In twenty- five years no contractor lias been required to pay a forfeit under the guaunt&c clause. Another matter brought up by Mr. Adams for the Barber and the Grant paving con cerns was the matter of about IliO.noo spe cial Improvement warrants. These war rants were issued for Improvements ' and to have been redeemed by special X City officials are preparing estimates of the work for the new year and stationery required by the various offices and these stimates were passed upon by the council last night, after which advertisements for bids will be made so contracts can be let for the work by January 1. With the coming of tho new year some departments expect to bo In shape to do more , work, as funds will be larger than urlng the present year, when loo.ooo waa taken from the amount fixed by the coun cil after tho appropriations had been made. When the new funds aresBvallnble the Are department will have about $11,000 mora than It will have spent for current expenses and salaries during lflOT. This money la considered but little more than necessary to maintain the department on Its present basis, as there will be a considerable In crease In wages of men, due to the fact those added under the double shift law will have passed from the J;0 a month class to the $0S and fW a month classes. It Is not bellevrd the new engine house at Twenty-first and Lake streets can be manned before r909 or 1910. More Police- on Brats. With Its larger fund the police depart ment will Increase the number of men on beats and If possible one or two substations will be opened. The engineering department expects to tart work early, so nothing but bad weather can prevent an early campaign for new paving and sewers, a large number being now on tho way, but delayed by lack of funds In the Intersection fund. One of the early undertakings will be the placing of inlets on the new California street sewer. The sewer Is completed and all laterals to corners laid, but the city will be required to Install the Inlets, of which there will be about twenty. The department of health will endeavor to work a revolution in some of its meth ods. Dr. Connell hopes to have power given him to maintain a weed-cutting brigade during the year and to assess the cost of such work to the owners of property on which or before which the weeds stand He also hopes to install a new method of collecting refuse matter other than gar bage and to Improve methods of sanitation In the more thickly settled parts of town, one Important matter being the connection of all vaults of houses with sewers and the total abolition of cess-pools. Klynn Will Ask Fifty Thousand. Street Commissioner Flynn is making pre liminary survey of the work In his de- department and In like departments of other cities preparatory to making a demand for an allotment of $50,000 for his department next year. He has received reports from a number of cities on the subject. These show that while Omaha with slightly more than 105 miles of paved streets has spent $33,000 on street cleaning last year. Salt Lake with ten miles of paved streets has averaged $3,500 a month; Minneapolis has spent f3,000 to clean over 1,000.000 square yarda; Kansas City $150,000 on 200 miles of pavement; Denver $81,482 on 823,000 square yards of cleaning. 1 km a 'of desire, and the clock Itself at meal time reflects the owner's grumpy face.

For various reasons special levies were held Illegal, and the warrants could not be paid In the manner contemplated Attempts wero made to avoid payment by the city from the general fund, and in soma of the cases the city lost its conten tlon. During the time - the question of tha validity of the warrants had not been raised, the city purchased a large lot and later when short of cash sold them to the paving companies, and In turn the con tractors used them as deposits to protect guarantees on contracts.

The Omaha Christian Institute and the Omaha Maternity and General Hospital association are In negotiation for the can cellation of a lease on the old Dellone held Jointly by the two organizations whereby the institute may withdraw and leave the hospital in full possession and charge of the building. The lease does not expire until January 1, 1909, but a mutual agreement may be entered Into for its dis solution one year earlier, or January 1, 1908. The Christian Institute, of which Charles F. Robel Is manager, has In contemplation the establishment of a separate headquar ters for Its work. The plan is to secure quarters In the lower section of the city and establish a home on the order of the Young Men's Christian association, only adapted especially to the needs and sta tions of the men and women who would ordinarily frequent such a place In that part of the city. There is some talk of a rescue home for women and this may be comprehended In the general plans, but primarily the Idea la to have a place that will meet the needs and wants of both men and women, a place where meals, beds, baths and exercise, physical and mental, may be had for nominal cost. Later If a rescue horns for women only were possible the Institute would take up ' that separately. At present the Christian Institute has several thousand dollars Involved In the lease on th Dellone hotel building snd If terms canbe reached and this money with drawn It will enable the institute to pro ceed with Its plans. Mr. Robel Is of the opinion these terms can be made so as to permit of a dissolution by the first of the year. .

To provide available funds for the com pletion of the new Vinton street school the treasurer was. Instructed to transfer $22,000 from tho general fund to the Vln ton building fund; . also to transfer from the general fund $50,000 to the bond re demption fund and $1,000 to the Insurance fund, Warrants were ordered drawn from the bond redemption fund for $74,000 to ttike.up 74 bonds due January 1, 1908. The contract with the Omaha Gas com pany to furnish lights to thu night schools at the rate of 25 cents per light, per year, was renewed for another year. Besides the aforementioned disburse ments, bills and expenditures amounting to $19,986.89 were allowed, which included a list of miscellaneous bills for supplies, services, etc., contractors' and archi tects' bills for the construction of Vinton street 1 school and ' needed repairs In the various school buildings. A committee from Druid Hill waa pres ent and presented a request for a new ten room school building in the Druid hill district, claiming to have a sufficient en rollment of pupils to call for the erection of such a building. Action on the matter was deferred by the board until a future date. The meeting Monday night was ad journed until Thursday, December 16, at which time the board will clean up the slate for this year. ment they were driven to do so In the present trouble to assist other banks. This was true no further away than Omaha. Several of the hanks of Omaha objected to withholding the rssh and extending the check system. Others felt they would be compelled to do It. While one or two Omaha banks have been willing to pay rash every day. others have sent to New York City and secured as high as $5A),om In currency. One Omaha banker, who Is a member of the clearing house, has said that It may he one of the regrets of his life that he did not leave the Cl.-arlng House association when It Was proposed to stop paying rash and continue to pay It at Ms bank. "I would probably have been better off In a way If I had paid cash every day and let the other banks take cars of themselves, and I may regret that I did not act Independently, but tha others wanted to put on the lid," he declared. YATES IS NOT TOR IT AT ALL Says Snrh an Inatltatlon Wonld Bo Calamity to tho Coaatry Others - Kndorse the Proposition. ''I have always been in favor of a central bank and am now, but I do not expect to see It during my lifetime," said ex-Senator J. H. Millard, commenting on tho recom mendation of William B. Ridgley, comp troller of the currency, for a central bank. ."We will have a central bank when the country Is older than It is now," continued Mr. Millard. "The talk about suoh an In stitution becoming a politic! machine should carry little weight. Any bank must be divested of politics. Just the same as our national banka are. When the central bank Is originated it will be and must be divested of politics." Mr. Millard has frequently urged that the United States must come some day to have a system more like that of Canada, where a central bank and it'branches make a condition such as has been experi enced In tha United States the last six weeks Impossible. Other bankers of Omaha are opposed to the central bank. In his address to the members of the Real Estate exchange last week, President Henry W. Yates of ths Nebraska National bank said: "I would consider the organisation of a great cen tral national bank as nothing short of a calamity for this country." Those who favor It say the feeling that the organization of such a bank would be centralisation of government snd giving away the rights of the states Is whst wliv prevent, for a term of years, the organi sation of such a bank. Banker favoring the central bank plan declare that allowing the banks to aot In dependently In Issuing credit currency would scarcely prevent the reourrence at any time In the future of present condi tions. "When each bank determines Indepen dently the amount of asset currency It will Issue it will have In view at all times its own necessities and Will be likely to lose sight of the common needs altogether," say the bankers. Concerted Action Impossible. "Concerted action Is Impossible in the United States," said a banker, "and If the committees on finance In the senate and house condemn the issuance of clearing house certificates, as they are likely to do, the united action of banks In the cities will not be safe nor possible In the future. Systematic action among the various clear ing houses has been shown to be Imnos slble In the present trouble.

Keeping close tab on the work of the city council, the municipal affairs com mittee has been much surprised the repeal of such a necessary ordinance should even be suggested and the matter was reported to the executive committee TuesdAy noon. The executive committee, which rep resents TOO to 800 business men, wi.nt on record against the repealing ordinance. A nominating committee was appointed by Chairman W. L.

An attack on the constitutionality of the law which permits the city council to fe levy a paving tax which has been declared Invalid, has beon made In district court by Matilda K. Gardiner, who owns property in Improvement district No. 410, including Wirt street from Bhermsn avenu to Twenty-fourth street. The tax In this dis trict was declared Illegal by the district court In a decree signed July 11, 1904, be cause sufficient names had not been at tached to the petition. The city council afterward made a re-levy under tha law pasaed In 190S permitting a re-levy for work done after Mareh 15, 1S97. The petition asasrts this law Is void be cause it discriminates between the prop erty owners of districts formed before March IS, 1S9T, and those formed after wards. It also asserts the law permits the taking of property without due process of law and the bill as passed by ths legisla ture contained more than one object. The S'.-it will affect the validity of several thousand dollars In taxes. The new theory (backed up by his preparation) advanoed by L. T. Cooper with regard to the cause of most ill health of the present generation Is being sown broadcast by this young man. Cooper believes that the human stomach has becomo degenerate In civilized races and claims that good health Is Impossible unless the stomach la revitalised. This he claims to do with hja, preparation. An article from the Indianapolis Star during Cooper's stay In that city has this to say of Cooper and his preparation: "Residents of this city are being astounded by L. T. Cooper and his hew preparation. "Reports that preceded Mr. Cooper's visit here told of his success In other localities, but ths Immense success of his medicine and the general belief In his theory was wholly unprecedented. "80 great is the rush of the public to this young man that people stand In line wait ing their turn for hours in an effort to see him. The most interesting feature of this Is statements mads by reliable citizens as to the actual accomplishments of Cooper's medicine. Among recent statements of this character the following Is a fair example: "Mr. B. F. Campbell of West Wash ington street, had this to say of hla ex perience with Cooper: 'I have been a Victim of stomach trouble for the last five years sick and suffering pain all ths time. Everything I ate distressed me. I have been under the treatment of many phy sicians, and have taken all kinds of medi cines, none of which afforded me relief, was greatly discouraged, and was about ready to give up, when Mr. Cooper came to this city to Introduce his preparations. " 'I was skeptical, of course, after spend ing so much money and taking such a lurge quantity of medicine, but, like tho drowning man, I was ready to grab at a straw, so' I secured some of Mr. Cooper's New Discov ery medicine and began taking It. It aeemed to help right from the first dose. I hare been taking It for several weeks, and can now eat heartily and enjoy my meals for the first time In five years eat any thing, without pain or distress of any kind. I feel Ilk a new being Ufa Is worth living now.' " Let us explain Mr. Cooper's remarkable medicine to you If your general health Is not all that It should be. Beaton Drug Co.
