All the members of the Library board appeared before the council. Under provisions made by Mr. Carnegie In hla gifts of libraries the city must spend Taoh year In maintenance 10 per cent of the mount of the original gift. If he gives Omaha lfflO.000, which will be 'asked, the elty must guarantee to spend $25,000 a year In maintenance. It Is now spending $30,000 a year for maintenance of the present library.

Mr. Haller also said that the heirs of Oeorge W. Linlger would loan to the city aa soon as tha city had a place for its reception the valuable Llnlnger art col lection and that he thought he would be violating no confidence by saying that the !

FA1RBURT The chances seem to be very favorable for the location of in nlfalfa mill at this Miint. At the meeting of the Commercial club last night A. I. Haiti of Marysvllle, Kan., was present and presentee! his proposition. It seemed to meet with general favor from all present and tho mntter wns turned over to the committee on manufactories and Industries to be acted upon. It is probable that the site asked for by the promoters can be found and that an effort will soon be mHdo to place the necessary stock to build the enterprise. The mill contemplated here Is to cost 112.000 and one-half the stock Is to be furnished by the Marysvllle parlies.
