The special session of the city council
last night waa on of considerable Im
Jrtance. Bids for aupplln were received
and referred to the committee of the whole.
The Nebraska Dally Democrat was desig
nated aa the omrial paper of the city, and
ee awarded the contract for all legal
publication at the charter rate, which Is X
tents per square.
H. O. Pike, the Citizen Printing company
and White at O'Brien wer rompetltore for
the legal forma and official supplies. The
total of Pikes bid iu 1376; that of the
aend bidder, $914: and the third. IKS: 2S.
On various Items the bide of each company
were low. The city reserves the right to
accept the bid on each Item, and the con
tract need not be confined to any one bid
der, but may be distributed to all three.
The Stott Stationery company bid on the
office stationery, being the only bidder
For supplies of hay, grain, coal. sa(d.
lumber and cement there were a niimbtr
f bidders. A. L Berqulst was apparently
the lowest on coal and feed. J. B. Wat
kina and the Crosby-Kopletg-Casey com
pany were close competitors on lumber,
and. cement and sewer pipe. Other bid
dera were Broadwell-Rlch. Joseph Plvonka,
1 M. Ruahlng, Peter Lenagh and N. V.
Uann Son.
At the close of the meeting hot words
were passed between William T. Martin,
chairman of the committee of the whole,
and J. J. Olllln and hie assistant, over who
should have charge of the bids. The clerk
refused to touch them. Martin threw them
In a heap on the table. To each bid waa
attached a certified check. The clerk went
out and left them. Later Martin picked
them up. On a former occasion It was
charged that someone had allowed the bide
to be changed before they were tabulated.
While the chargea were never believed,
the clerk declared he would have nothing
to do with bids at any future date. He
Insisted on reading each bid In full, so that
any changes might be noted If auch were
attempted.
After the reading of the bids John j
la tenser explained me jau situation to me
Mtjr council. He said that whether the
plana and specifications called for bar work
or for plate the Champion Iron company
had violated Its contrsct. He explained the
whole situation in detail and said that he
would atand by the city in compelling the
rontractor to live up to this conception of
the agreement. The oouncllmen were much
Interested In the etatementa and agreed to
meet with the city attorney Thursday aft
ernoon to take action. It ts likely that a
demand will be made on the Champion Iron
worka to make the iail good. Chief Brlgga
asked that some ef the lower cells, at least,
be taken out entirely and a sort ot "bull
y.en" made In front where persons guilty
of email offenses might be kept.
A resolution waa passed permitting the
mayor to hire a Janitor for the city hall at
a salary of tf0 per month. The mayor ap
pointed Luke Gaughan ta the place.
The matter of the police patrol wagon
was discussed at length and the mayor ap
pointed Bulla, Duffy and Hauptman as a
committee to find out what a team and
driver Wight be hired for to answer the r
trol calls. The council then'adjourned to
Thursday afternoon.
Corporations Tar Taaea.
All but one or twa of the big corporations
of the city paid their municipal taxes
yesterday. The big companlea In a few
caaea have been reduced by a cut In the
rate of the levy thla year, but most of
them received sn advance In valuation
which counterbalanced. The following
were the companlea which paid the munic
ipal tax very recently: Armour Co..
tJ.981.Vi; Packera' National bank, t2.0Cl.6t,
the Union Pacific K.4M.57: the South
Omaha National bank. f4.C19.22; the Omaha

Tax Aaaeassaeat Reancen.
The district court handed down a decision
yesterday In the case of Clay-Robinson
Commission company against the city of
South Omaha, a case In appeal from the
ruling of the South Omaha Board of Re
View, which placed the valuation of this
empany at 50,000. The action of the board
f review was reversed and., a I10.0CO valu
ation waa fixed as the proper valuation
by the court. Thla will have no bearing
on the caee of the George Burke Com
mlsMon company, which valuation was
similarly raised to aU'.Ofln. This company
did not appear before the Board of P.evlew.
It Is seeking to have Its taxes reduced by
a resolution of. the council. Some other

"Oh, how I would like to have that
coop of birds for hat plumage." said a
well known milliner, as she gazed at one
group of beautiful chickens, resplendent
in their fine feathers which were a re
minder ef the style of hats which are
being worn this winter.
The Interest In the Tri-City Poultry and
Pet Stock show continues unabated and
the crowds are increasing as the week
goea on.
The coyote grew tired of ita aurround
ings Tuesday evening and cleaned out
several dogs which were housed near him,
so his owner took him home, but has
promised to return him today. Interest
attaches to the ring-necked pheasants,
which have been bought at the show by
Mayor Thomas Hoctor of South Omaha.
These pheasants come from a pheasantry
at Denver, which has a contract with the
government to furnish 2,000 birds, which
are to be turned loose In the National
park.
Merchants are taking an intereta in the
poultry show and the Myers-Dillon com
pany. Hayden's and Miller, Stewart A
Beaton have chickens from the show In
their windows. The Omaha Gas com
pany has an exhibit of refined tar for
painting the inside of poultry' houses.
The tar Is applied like a paint and is a
germicide and destroy disease vermin, as
well as being a general wood preserver.
Women are Interested in some coops
of blue Andaluslans. exhibited by Imogen
Ramsey Roby of Bellevue. The Sure
Hatch Incubator company has a large ex
hibit of all sorts of accessories to chicken
raising. J. A. Yager, superintendent of
the plant,. is on rand to explain the merits
of his articles. This firm, located at Fre
mont, is selling machines all over the
I'nlted States and Cannda. The Anchor
Publishing company has a booth where the
Golden Egg Poultry Journal is shown.
Wise Move torn la a- to Omaha.
"The Trl-CIty Poultry association now
realizes It made a wise move when It Ue-
cidtd to hold its third annual show In
Omaha," said O. D. Talbert. secretary and
treasurer of the association, as he viewed
the crowds of people who streamed down
the aidlts between the cages at the Audi
torium Tuesday afternoon and evening.
"The ahow is already an assured success.
We are getting more people to this ahow
than we ever had and the Indications are
the attendance for the balance of the week
will far surpass our fondest hopes. The
people of Omaha are patronizing the show,
something they did not seem to do when
we showed at South Omaha. We are get
King the South Omaha people, too."
So spoke the secretary and wetthe might,
for the chicks and ducks and dogs and
cats are drawing all classes of people to
the show. Breeders of chicks and ducks
are Interested and women and children aie
turning out In large force to see the big
show. Every one likes a chicken, some
like to grow ttem and most all like to eat
them and some of the chicks on exhibition
would surely be a treist for anyone to have.

BOISE. Idaho. Pec. 11. The defense
rested In the Pettlbone case this mornlrg
and offered to submit the case to the Jury
without argument.
When court convened this morning the
defendant was at his place, but showed
plainly the 'effects of his Illness. After
the formalities of opening the court had
been coiffiuded, Mr. Hilton for the defense
announced thut the defense would rest
its case and offered to submit it to the"
Jury without argument. This announce
ment came as a complete surprise to the
atate. Judge Hilton said he had gone
over all the testimony and aa the state
had failed to connect the defendant with
the crime charged in the indictment, it
had been decided to offer no further testi
mony. Borah Reqaests Recess.
Senator Borah asked for a recess In
order that the proposition of the defense
might be considered and Judge Wo9d
granted their request. After a brief con
ference of the state's attorneys. Senator
Borah stated that the question of dispens
ing with the arguments could not be set
tled until the instructions of the court
had been examined. Judge Wood then
announced that he would Itave his in
structions ready by Thursday morning
and after he had Instructed the attorneys
to submit their suggestions an adjourn
ment was taken until that time.
Position ot Prosecntloa.
The case now hangs entirely upon the
nature of the Instructions of the court,
so fsr as further proceedings are con
cerned. The prosecution admits that thera.
has been no corroborative evidence con
necting the defendant directly with the
killing of Steunenberg. but is basing its
hope of conviction on the establishing of
proof of a conspiracy to kill enemies of
the Western Federation of Miners, alleg
ing that the murder of Steunenberg was
an Incident to that conspiracy. If JudKe
Wood in his Instructions holds that it Is
necessary for the state to produce Inde
pendent testimony showing Pettlbone's
connection with the crime charged there
will be no argument- If, however, the
court Instructs that proof of conspiracy
In itself is sufficient, providing the state
presented satisfactory proof that the de
fendant was a member of the conspiracy
and that the killing of Steunenberg was
an Incident to it, the case wjll be argued.
The fctate has asked that Instructions to
this effect be given.
Opinion of Judge Wood
In his Instructions in the Haywood
case. Judge Wood said:
"It makes no difference in this case
what crimes have been committed In
Colorado, in the Coeur D'Alenes or else
where, or who is responsible for the com
mission of such crimes, if any there be,
the defendant cannot be convicted unless
the state has established beyond a rea
sonable doubt that he la guilty of the
crime charged in the Indictment, to wit,
the killing of Frank Steunenberg."
The illnesji of Pettibone, which ia
critical, had much to do with the de
cision of the defense to submit the case
without argument.

was a resolution appropriating $5.(U of the
balance In the general fund for the grading
of certain streets specified In the resolu- j
tlon, abutting property owners to pay ,
half and the other half to be paid by the j
city. The three members or tne nuance
committee had been informed by the city
attorney that the resolution contemplated
doing something exprss!y prohibited by
the charter. Then the resolution died.
Mayor Pahlman refused the laurel crown
which the council had offered him In an
ordinance passed at the previous meeting,
making the assistant gas commissioner the
creature of the mayor. The mayor ve
toed the action, pointing out that the ap
pointment of the assistant was in th
province of the gas commissioner.
The mayor also vetoed an amendmen
passed at the previous meeting abollshlni
the office of marketmaster. The counci
sustained the veto In each caae.
A resolution was passed appropriating

many, last October has led to a gift of two
j lots to the Omaha Young Men's Christian
association w hich, it is hoped, w ill yield
. several hundred dollars.
j Mrs. Bouike is now touring Europe, and
I it was w hile visiting the famous bths at
Carlsbad she met Mr. Conklln and told hira
that the Omaha Young Men's Christian as
sociation had Just erected a new building
and was still In need of funds to pay for it.
When Mr. Conklin returned home he wrote '
Secretary Wade that he had two lots In
Omaha he had owned for about twenty j
years and if he would send him the name
of some person to whom he could make a I
need he would be glal to donate li e prop-
erty to the association. Mr. Wade an- 1
saered the letter and Monday the deed ar- i
rived conveying the lota to George F. Oil
more, treasurer of the association.
The property consists of lcts and 10 in
block S, Thornburg place, and two sutli
west corner lots at Forty-first and Mason
streets. It la not definitely known Just what
the lots are worth now, but It la hoped sev
eral hundred dollars ran be realized from
them. Twenty years ago. according to the
deeds on file, Mr. Conklln paid t&o foe-th
two.
As a side feature the management this
year had added the interesting featureof
a pet stock show and dogs and cats are

The Judges have begun their labors and
are hanging the premium cards on the

arduous one when it is considered that
there are over birds on exhibition,
all claiming siime honors.
The little chicks are running around in
the brooders and add to the life of the
scene. An Incubator from Fremont has sev
eral contrivances of Interest to fanciers.
One of these is a turning wheel for young
chicks to make the wheel spin and this is
one of the centers of attraction.

At a special meeting of the Board of Fire
and Police comrnbKioners Tuesday night
twenty-four saloon licenses which had been
protested were granted, clearing up for the
new year. Twenty-three of the protests
were filed by the World-Herald on the
ground that the legal notices of the appli
cations for licenses had not been published
In the World-Herald. Three of the pro
tests were filed by The Bee Publishing com
pany. Editor Gilbert M. Hitchcock of the
World-Herald put several of the applicants
for liquor licenses on the stand and tried
to elicit from them their reasons for pub
lishing their notices in The Bee. The an
swer of all of them was that they did so
becausa they believed The Bee had the
largest circulation. Attorney W. J. Connell,
representing The Bee Publishing company,
offered to bring The Dee's subscription
books before the board and furnish the
names and addresses of all The Bee s sub
scribers to the board, and Invited Mr.
Hitchcock to do the same. The invitation
was not accepted an by motion of Commis
sioner Kennedy all the protests were over
ruled and the licenses granted.
The board reconsidered the action of the
last meeting in refusing to grant a aaloon
license to Mrs. Garrity to continue her sa- ;
loon at Tenth street and Capitol avenue. I
Mrs. Garrity was put on the stand and ;
closely questioned as to how she had been ;
conducting her saloon in the past. She said ,
It was her only means of making a living. ;
that she had two bartenders and occasion- '
ally stood at the bar herself and drank with
men. The license waa granted on the con
dltton that in the future !, e stay out of j
the saloon except on business errands
