Mr. Neumayer has long been trying to get the Platner building it having been rented at $10 a month. By removing it Mr. Neumayer will have the insurance on his hotel reduced $90 ayoar. Assoon as Platnor had sold the building the council, on the recommenda- tion of Alderman Mynster, condemned * | the building at on ce. A woman named Mrs. John Wilson was deserted by her husbahd at the transfer depot yesterday, They came Tincoln, telling The man came up town, tell- ‘his wife that if he could find work here they might remain here. Not roturning she concluded that he had got on a drunk and .put the polico on his track. It seems, however, that he took the North- western train back to Chicago, leaving his wife hero penniless, with a little child throeand one-half years old. The woman and child went to Omalia last night. When the man left he had $100. A fow days ago Tur Brr showed uf the pranks of a fellow with a cork leg, who was playing on the sympathies of the Omaha public by claiming to be hun- gry and without money, and that he would have to pawn his cork leg for food unless he'ped. The food in which he invested mainly proved to be corn juice, Yentorday he appeared hero. He struck one of the citizens on the cork leg racket and was a good deal taken back when told: “I've heard of you before. I read Tue Bee.” The fellow who is always about to pawn his leg, turned away - | angrily, and walked off, rather discourag- od at the prospect of working this side of the rivor. There was not a very large audience at the opera house last night to see ‘‘Tactics” but there will be this afternoon at the matinee. and this evening. The play is a pleasing comedy, The actors are goo music better; singing best. T'he jokes are oxcellent, And what in strange, they are new. A more enthusiastic reception is seldom ever given to a play than was accorded to ““Tactics” last night. The paving of the streets and alleys will do little good if persons are to be allowed to throw out ashes and rubbish, and mud and filth are allowed to accumu- lato. The first paving in the city was the alley back of Shugart’s; Wheller's, etc., on Main strect. That alley is now covered with mud. On Main street al- roady parties begin throwing out ashes. The city should not only clean up, but keep cleaned up. The mysterious *‘X Y Z” club of the THE STREET CAR LINE. Will the City Conncil Borrow Money For the Union Pacific? The city officials are still discussing the matter of paving the street car track. All agree that the law is very plain on the matter and that the company owning the street car line must either pave the same or neglecting to do so the city may caase it to be paved and the cost assessed up against all the property of the compa. ny within the city limits, and if the as- sessment is not paid within sixty days then the city can proceed as in case of other property delinquent for taxes, The Union Pacific company has told the council that it cannot pay for paving just now, and that the city may go ahead and let the contract but wants the city to issue bonds and give the ity eight years in which to pay the same as other property owners instead of forcing pay- ment within sixty days. City attorney Holmes has presented to the council a way by which the city council may he thinks, dodge the state law, and give the company the time asked for, and George F. Wright, attorney for the company, has presented his scheme for dodging the law. The feeling of the citizens, however, is strongly against any dodging. It seems pretty evident that the Union Pacific company does not proposo to pay for paving if it can got out of it, and if there 18 to be litigation to any great extont, the city can ill afford to make matters worse muddled by doing an illegal act. The Union Pacific may promise not to litigato, if the city will only do an illegal act, but as soon as the act ‘is done, the Union Pacific would be the first to take advautage of it, and get out of paving altogether, The only safe course is for the city council to do what it issworn to do, follow the law, and then let the Unton Pacific borrow its own money instead of horrow- ing it for the corporation. Any dodging of the question, or evading the law, will simply 1nvolve the city in a litigation, or else will result in the Uni~n Pacific get- ting out of paying for the pavement, It is nonsense for the Union Pacific to say it cannot raise $20,000, while at the same time it has the cheek to ask the city to raise the money for it, and prom- ises to let it be a lien on $500,000 worth of U. P. property in this city. If this security is good enough for the city, why is 1t not good encugh for some money- lender to advance the $20,000 on. If it'is not safe for the money-lender to loan 820,000, it surely is not safe for the city. The city is not in the money-lending bus- iness, especially not lending money to corporations. But all this poverty plea of the Union Pacific seems simply a pre- text to get out of paying at nlf for the pavement. The company may threaten to take up its tracks, 1t may show its teeth, but its threats are no worse than its promises, Congregational society gave an enjoy- able “Tissue Tea” Thursday evening. and even if the desired accommodation was done by an illegal trick, the company would be very likely to resume its threats end of a case which has worried the jus- | The repast served was a very beautiful [ when collection of assessments were at- tices and grand juries for a year or more |one for the price charged, and the deoco- [tempted.
