Adopted. | g, dtoped ™ sroaa OO = to r::ou from the streets all build- inge, fences, well curbs, pumps and such other improvements a3 stand above the sidewalks between the curb and the lot lines. Considerable dis- cassion arose upon this subject. Councilman Eunun inquired s to the meaning of the resolution, and #aid that it was too sweeping. President Dally, whe had left the chalr, supported tbe reclution on the ground that it was much needed. Councllman Herman then spoke very emphatically, ssying that if the fences be moved it wonld give a great- er stumbling block to passers by. The lamp posts are setting out twenty feet from the property line, 1If the reso- Iotion be passed it would work a great deal of injury to nearly every citizen west of Sixteenth street. Iam Infa- verof dolng this rome time, but not now. Councilman Delone referred to the previousastion of the council which vermitied the building cf fences out- side of the line for the purpose of growing trees. Stnce 1871 there has been no authority for this purpose,and those who have built them there have done so at their own risk. I am in favor of the resolution, with the amendment that the trees be allowed 10 stay whero they are, but the fences be moved back. Oounc!lmen Hornberger and Baker spoke. The latter moved that the matter be referred to the committee on sidewalks and bridges. It was laid aside until an ordinance should be read. REPORTS.

Mayor Boyd has received from City Attorney Manderson a_carefally pre- pared opinion as to the Slocumb liquor law, in response to a request on that subject from the mayor. After fally setting out previous laws regard- ing the sale of liquor, General Man- n says: The law of 1866 as amended In 1875, and aa above recited, aud the ordinances passed thereunder as above referred to, are the law to-day, and it is my opinion that the mayor of Omaha must act according to their provielons until the so-called Slocumb liquor law, passed at the last session of the legislatare, shall take effect. This bill was passed without any emergeucy clause, Under the constitutional provision the bill cannot take effect ustil three calendar months after the adjournment of the last session of the legislature. These three montbs expire, I believe, June 1, 1881. The Slocamb liqaor law repeals the laws heretofors recit- ed and now in force, but until June 1, 1881, it bhas no force or effect even asa g statute, It differs very radically from the law now in foros, par in matters pertalning to application for license bond and the issulng of Many of its pro- visions are new and strange, and its penalties are extremely severe. By many who are interested in its sub- Ject matter it is claimed to be uncon- atitational, the main objection being that it does not act with uniformity upon the class from whom a license tax is exacted. The question is an interestiog one and one that THE SUPREME COURT of the sate will undoubtedly be call- ed upon to decide. With the quetion of ita constitutionality, however, the executive officials of the city has nothing to do. - When it becomes ope- rative the city authorities mast enforoe its provisious untll it is declated un- constitationsl by some ‘competent t is my opinion therefore that it is your duty, upon proper application and petision filed and bond given as required by the law of 1866, and the amendatery acta and ordinauces pass- ed under it, to issue Jicense for the sale of liqaor for a perlod of from the date of the license to January lst, 1882—the smount to be paid 10 beat the rate of $100 per annum, but not less than $60. Licenses should be thus issued until June lst, 1881, when the Slocumb law takes effect. After that time licenses can only issue under its conditions, and liquor can be sold only under lta_provisions and 1. is fucther my opinion Iawa become valuul es when the new liquor law (akes effect.

AN INTERESTING QUESTION to arise hereaftor, s whether those whose liconses are sopulled by legislative enact- ment can recover back any part of the license money paid by them. It would seem eqgitable that thoy should ba permitted to do so, but bythe same reasoning that I urge above, viz: That the license assumes all risks of the legislaturo increaeivg his burdens, or prohibiting the traffic wohlly, it seems to me that such recovery back cannot be had. #Sinco you requested my opinfon upon Saturday last, I have given the subject much thooght and research, and believe that theopinion expressed will stand the test of trial in the courts. Cuarces F. MANDERSON, Oity Attorney of Omaha. P. 8.—I should, perhape, call your sttentlon to the fact that, by the law ot 1875, all applications for liquor license must over for two weeks ‘before action is taken thereon to allow objections, protests and remonstances. See laws 1875, page 24. 1T FALLS NOT. THE MISSOURI §TILL HOLDS ITS OWN. From Lt Evening's Bee. At nine o'clock this morning the river was at a standstill, at the high- est point it has yet reached, 23 feet 9 inches. None of the buildings at the shops or smelting works have suffercd any apparent damage from thelr loog bath. This fs not tho case, however, in the lumber yards, where the buildings are heaving, settling or going to pieces. Hoagland's office 1s appsrently off its foundations and the long lumber house In its rear Is begin- ning to show symptoms of similar troable. The lumber companies are still removing what lumber they can, and the booms give no indlcations of being likely to break. COUNCIL BLUFFS. Mr. 8. R. Johneon and Mr. Shel- ton, of the Water Works company, took a trip to Council Bluffs yester- day ir the “Flying Dutchman,” with ack Brown, one of the best oarsman on theriver. They started from the company's_settling basins north of Omaha and 1t required two hours to reach the other eide. They landed at the foot of Broadway within a block and a half of the Pa- cific House The first lving things they encountered on thelr trip were three healthy bull pups, which were floating on a plece of board in a door yard, tled to the knob of the house door. A half mile further on they encountered a solitary chicken contentedly floating alozg on a plece of sidewalk, about one hundred feet long. On Avenue B. and Firststreeta small boy was found PADDLING ALONG In s large wash-tub. Two blocks further east they rendered valuable asslstance by taking a gir], about ten years old, from a_gate-post and con- veying her to a brick house two blocks off, where they put her in through a window. These gentlemen state that over one-half of the town Is under water, and the water in the streets from three to five feet In depth. The steamer ‘“‘Benton,” which landed at the foot of the Bluffs last week, could have steamed up to the centre of the town and landed her passengers within two blocks of the Council Bluffs savings bank. Fally one-ttird of the houses in tha city are partislly under water and many of them must be off their foundations. The cltizens residing on the bluffs have done nobly toward relieving their unfortunate nelghbors, but the de- mand upon them has been £o large that a relief movement will probably be started on_this side, and our citi- :lelxu will no doubt contribute liber- ly. STATIONARY. The river was still stationary at 2 P. m. 823, cet and 9 inches. The Laales' Relief society Disband. The Ladies’ Rellof Society, having failed to secure from the Common Gouncll the fifty yoars lease of the property which it desired for its build- ing, has determined to dlsband. The sccretary of the organization has left at the Bek ofice a long statement, giving in detail the efforta of the so- clety to procure thia lot, and the rea- s0n for the defeat of their plan. It would afford this paper pleasure to publish this statement, but its extreme length weuld make it necosssry to leave out important newa In order to doso, What the ladles proposed to do was to erect a building costing be- tween five and ten thousand dollars, which should comprise a Home for the Friendless, an Industrial School and 8 Rolief Bureau. They petitioned the council to set apsrt a suitable tract of land as a site for this purpose, The matter came up in the council and was referred to-the committee on public property and Jimprovements. After some months, the committes failing Lo report, the ladles selected 1ot b, block H, as specially saited to their purpores, and sent aspecial com- mittee to a meetiog of the council, who, on the matter being brought to their attentior, expressed a wish to have it settled immediately. Soon after the council committes reported in favor of the lesse at the nominal rate of one dellsr per annum, but the councll delined to make the leaso for ninety-nine years, as roquested, and subsiitated the term of twenty-five years. A meeting of the Rolief Society wae held and the offer of the council re- jected for the following reasons: 1st. That 80 short a lease would ef- fectually prevent liberality of contri- bation toward the erection of a build- 2d. The soclety would be greatly embarrassed in sccomplishing its par- poses by acepting a short. term of oc- cupaucy of resl estate. The couscil was asked to extend the timo of the lease to at least fifty yeurs, but declined to do so, and the Relief Socletv thereupon decided to disband, and one from Pittsburgh, in uneafth- ing series of mail robberies east of Chicago, which were very ekillfally done and which the government had determined to unearth. The news was received here yesterdsy morning that the lopg search of the officers had been crowned with success and that & few days eince in Toledo Mr. Seybolt and ome of his collesgues arrested their man, Capt. E. R. Blakesloy, sgsinst whom they hada case without a flaw, and that the latter made full confession of his guilt. Blakesley wss a postal clerk and lays his crlme to wineand women. Ho was formerly » osptain in the reg- vlar army. Ho confessed to have stolen $208 from letters. The Cleve- land Leader spesks as follows of Blakesley’s dtection: “This is cne of the most important captures ever made in the mail sorvice and reflects great credit upon the officers who worked the matter up. It requires the utmost tact and shrewdness to oago a sharp mail robber and the servico have in the present, ason former ocoaslons, thown them- selves up to the standard of efficlency.

Death of & Well Known Lady. Mrs, E. K. Long, wife of the ticket suditor of the U. P. rallroad, died of heart disesse on Monday evening at half past ten o'clock. Services will be held at the late residence on Wod- nesday, April 27th, at 2:30 p. m. Mrs. Long was a native of Massa- chusetts, but came to Omaha fcom In diana with her husband, who had been In the railway service in that State.

This year there ars more new attractions in millinery goods than in all other lines of goods known, and Atkinson & Co.’s exhibited the latest and best to their delighted visitors, Fine Hats of every Style and Shape, Flow- ers, Ribbons,Silks, Velvets, etc ,were strung from the ceiling to the floor in magoificent profusion. The cases con- taining the most costly bonmets, trimmed In the lateet fashions, with perfect taste and design, were much admired by the ladies. Atkinson & Co. have alwsys had the reputation of carrying the finest and Iargest stock. of millinery in Omaha, and this year they have Increased their stock. The new departments which they have added this yesr was quite a sur- prise to their feiends, berstofore they have confined themssives strictly to millinery goode, but are now making fine display of dress goods and Iadiea farnisuing goods.
