The Reasons For Not Organiz- ing the New City Gov- ernment. The Bonds and Salaries Ar- ranged For the Officers, The Hxpectation of Finding a De- pleted Treasury. There has been some deMy inor- ganizing the new city government, and the officers have not yet been aworn in, it being impossible for them todo o until the bonds are passed upon by the council. The aldermen have held informal meetings in con- junction with some of the officials, and they have run across a snag. In the opinion of the next city solicitor, W. 8. Mayne, and other attorneys, there is a question whether the old ordinances are in force after the new council organizes, If the council should organize, and it shall then be determined that tha ordinances are not valid, all of the ordinances would need be repassed and republished, causing a little delay, but what is of more moment, causing an expense to the city for printing of from $1,600 to $2,000. It seemed advisable, if possible, to prevent any possible ques- tioning of the validity of the ordi- nances, and to prevent any such big printing bill, and accordingly the new mayor, Thomas Bowman, hur: ried oft to Des Moines to secure some needed legislation, The proposed remedy, or rather precaution, is to have the legislature at onco pass an amendment to the general incorporation law to the effect that all ordinances shall continue in force except those which are inconsis- tent with the new organization. If this can be secured it will enable the council to organize and g right along without any - such question arising. Tf it cannot be secured, the council will take the chances of the question. TIn such a case the city might notsuffer any, but the securing of such a pro- vision wonld surely prevent any ex- pense or trouble in litigation, and the possibility of having to repass and re- print the ordinances. The new city g.vernment has been at a stand still pending the settlement of the question. In the meantime an ordinance has boen under considera- tion defining the duties, bonds and salaries ot the several officers, and has been pretty well decided upon, though informally, except the question of salary, which may be changed a little. By this ordinance the mayor must give bonds in the sum of $3,000. He is made the head of the police force, and his signature decorates all war- rants for violations of city ordinances, His duties are made more numerous han under the old order of things, issued to Wallace Wi and Miss Sadie Dunkle; to A. O. ‘Petérson and Miss Lather Thompson, and to Denver Hough and Miss Alico Alexander, the last named belog from Missouri Valley, and all the others from Crescent City. . —Xdwin Parker, charged ' with kidnap- ping his two children, who were in the custody of his wife, seems to have suc- cesafully eluded the officers, They watched for him at the transfer expecting to catch him when he crossed with the girls, but he was sharp enough to chooss a place for «crossing some three miles down the river, leaving his wagon on this side, and going over in » skiff which was waiting for him, Proceedings will probably b commenced now in Omaha, ~The man charged with caunsmg Matt Ryan's death last J anuary by hitting him on the head with a beer mallet is still at large. Coroner I'aul found his where- abouts, but could not learn his name or give a description of the man. He wrote to the sheriff of Cass county about the matter in Jannary, and did not receive an answer until the first of this month, Then he wrote again and has not received any answer to the questions he asked in this socond letter. The coroner grumbles, and weems justified in doing wo, at this dilatori- ness of the sheriff at a time when the need of prompt action seems so imperative, If 'l the sheriff « were to take life thus lels. ‘uraly, oriminals would have abundant chances to esoape. —“Cranky Bil,” who now lies in jail on & charge of larceny, is something of a philospher and theologi «n, and on Sunday when there was religious services at the jail ho took a hand, He had something to say nd he said it. His litle speech consisted of a sharp oriticism on the man. mer in which jail-birds weie used by Ohristian people on being let out of the cage, Ho oalled attention to the fact that they were shunned and abhorred instead of encouraged by mo-crlled Christinns, and there was nothing left for the boys but to go buck to th: same haunts of sin from which they come, The conductor of the relizious servions had to adwit that there was much truth in what ‘ Oranky” said, aad that such things ought not to be thus, ~The sad news comes from Ne w York Oity that Mra. B, F. Montgomery died there Sunlay afternoon. The force of the blow was somewhat broken by the warnings which friends here had already and his salary is placed at $600 per years The city marshai 1s to give bonds in the sum of 86,000, and receive a. nalary of 8600 yearly. He issub- jected to a 8§50 penalty for each breach duty . Ho is given charge of all 7 pR DAILY BE company saya that as soon as such leg- islation can be seoured, by which cer- tain well defined rights can be ob- tained as against the present ocmbina tion between the Western Union and different raiiroand comparnies, it will construct lines. A bill aimed in this direction has been intro duced by Senator Graves, and is now pending before the ways and means committee of the state senate. It is being opposed by yarious interests, and by those who, for selfish purposes, desire to bar out opposition, Just and faic privileges should be granted to any company which desires to enter the field and will give the people the benefit of a free and full competition. The pub- lic have many grievances in this state, and particularly in this city, and about the only way to get them righted is by forcing the managers by legislative action. Several moves have been made in this direction, but they have been aimed at specific grievances rather than at the whole subject. If a measure can be pushed through, opening the field to a free and fair competition, many of these leeser evils and local griev- ances will be righted, Tt is time that legislators listened rather to the de- mands of the people than to the de- mands of corporations, and that the rights and interests of the public be made paramount. If the Mutual Union eompany desires to enter the fiod it shall be given at least an equal show with other companies. not only as a matter of justice to the com pany, but as & matter of justice to the people, who are entitled to all the fa: cilities they can secure, THE BABY TRAMP, He s Again Traveling and is Cap- tured Colorado. Willie Lewis, known as ‘“‘the baby tramp,” is heard from again. About month ago ho was in this city, and was cared for at tho polico headquar- ters, where he attracted much atten- tion on occount of his age, being only six years, and on account of the ex* perience which he had gained by travel. He had relatives here and a grandmother in Omaha, and after some search they were found, and the youthful wanderer committed to their care, As nothing hag been heard of him since, it was supposed by the authorities that he had settled down to a quiet home life, but this delusion was yesterday dispelled by the receipt of a telegram from Central City, Colorado, stating that ‘‘the baby tramp” was _there, and asking what could be dc with him. To that puzzling question no answer could be given, as it was long ago given up as an unanswerable conun- drum_here. The little fellow is bound to travel, and his age and ap- parent innocence make him welcome where older tramps would be ejected. —————— The Iowa Legislature. Special to Tue Bre. Des Mornes, Ta.,, March 13.—-The senate to-day passed the bill requir- ing railroad commissioners to settle disagreements between railroad com- panies about track - crossings.
