H. Queenan for 1150. the Omaha water com pany for 1102, B J. Larkln for US and Ileafey A Heafey for $15. They were ready to let the action of the committee stsnd and voted for the balance of the com mittee's budget of- claims. Therefore, all the city administration received the cus tomary monthly pay and the wheels of civic life are moving smoothly again. The officials, the police department and the fire departments received the Increase In pay provided by the new charter. The In crease Is a substantial one, amounting to nearly 10 per cent.

The city clerk made short work of the drawing of warrants after the action of the council and drew one wan-ant covering all salaries, another for the fire depart ment and a third for the police depart ment. The payrolls were turned In to the city treasurer and he paid out the cash for all departments. The above warrants were made payable to the city treasurer. Death Irons Heat Prostration.
