of these doors led to the yard, the other

still they shivered. Then the mother got

WHO PAYS THE COAL BILLS?
Question Between City Council and
the Police Board.
REPAIRS AT CITY JAIL ORDERED
Pleaahlaa I aspect or laatrarted to
Have Katltnate Ready ay Toalaet
That laaaardiate Aetloa May Be
Tikes n Matter.
Attorney Thomas of the McCoun Coal
company wants the city council to pay for
coal fu ml Fried the city jail. His demand
raided an Interesting point, which City At
torney Rlne was railed on to untangle.
The city council advertised for bids for
furnishing coal for the city Jail, city hall
and public library. The McCoun Coel com
pany was awarded the contract, but the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
entered Into a contract with another com
pany to furnish the coal. The McCoun
company delivered coal, nevertheless, and
the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
refused to settle, claiming that it had the
right to buy its own ccal and make lis
own contracts.
This controversy raised the point as to
whether the Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners could enter Into such a con
tract. Attorney Rine gave It as his opin
ion that the Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners could enter Into a contract only
aft.r It VmA Kaam nA-rtA hv ihm rftV
council. And If the council ordered a
contract, which was afterwards made by
the police board, the latter would have to
pay It out of Its own funds. Otherwise,
the council would have to foot the bill.
A motion also prevailed for the passage
of the ordinance regulating the storage of
all petroleum products, but the ordinance
regulating the construction of fire-proof
buildings was held up for a week.
To Improve Jail Conditions.
City Plumbing Inspector Weltzel was or
dered to bring in plans and specifications
and an estimate for putting the city Jail In
a sanitary condition. He was told to re
port tonight so that a resolution ordering
the expenditure may be passed. The for
mer estimate of $M0 was considered exorbi
tant, and a hint was given Weltzel to cut
this amount by half.
The committee on railroads and viaducts
reported on the ordinance which forces the
railroads to build the Bancroft street via
duct and recommended ita passage Tues
day night
Protest on Wooden Blocks.
A petition protesting against the paving
of Sixteenth afreet with wooden blocks was
referred to the city attorney. The petition
attacks the legality of the ordinance on
wo grounds that It was passed before the
improvement district was created and that
the signers did not represent three-fifths
of the property owners.
The annual report of the Board of Park
Commissioners was placed on file, pending
an opinion from the city attorney relative
to outstanding bills. The report shows that
the park board spent IS8.3S6.0 for park
Improvements and $37,449.98 for road im
provements last year, and that there is a
balance of 13.794 In the park fund and
$2,938.46 In the road fund.
On request of T. L. Rlngwalt. It was or
dered that an ordinance protecting dogs
and cats from cruel treatment be Intro
duced for passage. A resolution for the
grading of Redmond avenue from Thirty
third street west at a cost of KOOO was
referred to Councilman Davis.

In a monster meeting that packed the
Auditorium to Its doors, the Elks of Omaha
lodge. No. 39. celebrated last night their
twenty-fifth annlversay. Lincoln Elks and
a large number of the legislature were In
attendance and occupied sears of honor In
the center of the great building and front
ing tha stage built at one side. Delegations
from Council Bluffs.' Shenandoah, and
many other points both in and out of the
stats helped swell the number until. If
enumerated Ct all. It would be counted In
the thousands.
Song and good fellowship, as Is the fash
ion of the Elks, was the order of the
evening. At frequent Intervals during the
festival the great structure fairly shook
to the volume of sound that poured from
the throats of ths multitude In song.
Mystic Mass at Door.
Cpon entering the hall everyone was
forced to pass through a mystic maze that
brought the unsuspecting up against a
mirror, when after many turnings they
were able to find their way Inside.
The building was decorated with flars
and the pennants of the lodge, while bunt
ing was artistically looped from tha
galleries.
Every available bit of space on tha main
floor was filled with tables, both large
and small, and the stage at the end was
made to hold part of the overflow. A part
of the crowd, all of which could not find
places on the first floor, occupied seats
In the gallery.
During the program a Dutch lunch was
served, a small army of waiters distribut
ing especially prepared Individual boxes of
sandwiches from huge hampers supported
hlRh overhead.
The entertainment committee, which had
kept a steadfast secrecy aa to the nature
of the evening's program, held to their at
titude of mystery and there were no printed
programs. That they redeemed their prom
ises of some surprises and something good,
was evident from the salvos of applause
that greeted nearly every number on the
long bill.
I. J. Dunn, a local member, was the
speaker of the occasion. In a brief, but
eloquent speech of but a few minutes dura-
A Mighty
Who wisely rules himself.
Curious what a scrap you have now und then (maybe two or three "noTa".and
several "thens") with what the old Scotchman called the "deevelish part" of 'your-make-up.

It's safe to say "you" and not miss the mark, for we all belong to the same
lodge, and it seems to be a part of some great plan to try us out and see if we can thus
earn the right to rule greater things.
a
Most every day some one of the many "warriors of the enemy" comes across
your pathway and puts up a scrap to see if he can rule.
You must be well trained and alert or he will make you bend the knee or, per
haps, break a leg or permanently cripple you.
There are several of these "enemies" which can be named over, but for the pur
pose of this article let us speak of the narcotics, the family which includes morphine,
whiskey, coffee, cocaine, tea, tobacco, etc., all the same family, each member having a
different degree of strength.
