Sorry to bs obliged to confess it, but the local editor of this sheet is not authority on the subject of rat killing.

They Attempt & Confidence Game on a Stranger and are Jailed, Daring yesterday forenoon about 8 or 0 o'clock Mike McOlean, a young man from Perry, Iows, came over to Omaha from Council Bloffs, He was looking along the route west for work, Intending as he stopped at different places to make In- quiries aa to pricesof land for persons in Iowa. About 10 o'clock he fell into the company of Frank Burns, who Is well known in police and criminal circles, hav- Ing been Indicted, along with McClelland as a participant, for the Doke hard- ware robbery which by some technicallty he escapsd. Burns is a no- torfously bad character. He proposed to McOlean when he learngd that he wanted work, and had some money, that he should go to work for him (Burns) on a farm. g(nClenn dld not fancy Burna’ appearance and manner, 8o he refused the offl Burns left him but soon met his confederate, J. P. Benton (who is not well known to the police) and told him of the game he had flushed. Benton lost no t'me In meetiog with young Me- Olean and telling him that he heard he waa looking for employment, offered him one of two jobs at Lincoln, as farm-hand at §22 per month or as clerk in his gro- ocery at $40 per month, Benton's appsar- ance’ of; a decent business man de- celved McClean, and the two went from Tenth street to the B, & M. freight house on Eight and Howard. Arriving there,; Benton told McClean to remain moment untll he returned from inside* the houte. Meantime Officers Burdish and Mostyn happened along, McClean approached them and told them of the facts as stated here. Pres- ently Benton came out but found the officers there, much to his sup; nd was at once taken into custody euspiolon. Upon searching him officers found besldes some valuless papers, a knife and watch, one $100 and one $500 confederata note, which were carefully folded and stowed in his pocketbook. Benton had told ;McClean that he would get him a ticket and sexd him right on to Lincoln; his programme was the old one of getting his cash, cither because he had no change, or until he wcould get ome of these notes broken. By an unsuspecting person these notes would, nine time in ten, in a hurry at a ticket office, be mis- llhcn for good money. Benton is In jail. : Frank Burns, when he left McClean and put his “‘pal,” Benton, on his track, kept within convenlent dis‘ance until he saw the two officers, then he moved off. ButMcClean had told the officersof Burns’ movements. and they went to arres’ him aleo. He resisted the officers vigor- ouely, and obliged them to use thelr clubs to take him. He Is not seriously hurt, but is safe behind the bars where it is to be hoped he will be properly dealt with. The tfmely appearance of tha police saved McClean the loss of all he had, t is almost certaln that in a foew minates mora Benton would have fleeced him. As it Is they got nothing from him, AN IMPORTANT LAW. The New Enactment KXequiring a Meeting of the Assessors in March — Salary Changed, The recent legislature placed upon the statute book of Nebraska a most import- ant law touching upon the duties of aa- sessors. An emergency clause was at- tached to the Jaw which put it In force from and after its passage. The fact that this law changes the time for the meetlng of the assessors at the office of the county clerk, for the purpose of consulting as to the values of the vari- ous kinds of property to be assessed by them, and to receive from the clerk the necessery books and blanks for such assessment, from the first of Aprll to the third Tuesday of March, requires that it should be particularly mentioned and noticed. The provision regulating the psy of agsossors is 50 amended as to make the pay three dollars per day while engaged In making the assessment and two for each day of the time necessarily employed in attending the meeting of the asssesore and making returns to the county clerk of his aesessment book and the state- ments and schedules of personal prop- erty. While doing this work mileage at the rate of five cants per mile is allowed them. — INFORMATION WAl —Martin Flan- nigan left his homain Denison, Ohi>, on the of January last, intendiog to seek W with Mr. Elmore, contractor, some place In Towa. Any informa'ion regard- ing his whereabouts will ba thankfally received by his anxious mother, Mra, Oatharine Kennedy, Eleventh and Leav- er;worth strects, Omaha, Neb., or at thls office. e —— The Cuming Street Fight, About nine-tenths of the property owners and citizens along Cumling street and Thirteenth street have for the past year been trying to secure the passage of an ordinance to change the grade on the COuming street extension, commencing at Divirion street and outting west to Charles street, which would make abouta ten foot cut at the deepest point, and fill the mud hole west of Charles, where the low place is now cat three feet as far as Brown. This would have made a seven foot rise at Line street in place of a three foot ditch, as it Is now, whera the entire water of the hills Is emptled, and rans for qulte a distance through the street, mak- ing it virtually the bed of a creek, walled three feet on elther side, Those who favor this work had the dam- sges properly appralsed, and to those not wenting damages the money was tendered and/placed with the city treasurer, These parties clalmed that they had promises from a majority of the council that the ordinancs would pess long before this. Another party, conalsting of a few peo- ple on the hill, back of Cuming streets, on Idaho, aud at the ocornerof Cuming and Idaho, o;:f)ou every grade except one that would make the crown of the hill at Idaho street, but they did nothing to briog about such & change of grade. Still another party, composed of persons llving along the cut on Cuming straet, opposed any out what ever, unless Cuming street should be filled six or seven feet at th In front of Counellman Faray's barn, st the militery bridge, mskiog a gradu ¥iss, and when that is done they s they are willing to submit. sthaway's plar, to fil from Twen'y- necond ptreet west t5> Division street, catting from Divislon to Charles, and filllng from Charles to Brown, is in fact thengnl proposition, if 1t could be car- rled out. The next best seems to be the first mentioned plan. The cut which makes the crown at Idaho street, dam- ages everybody, leaves the mud hole at both ends, and in no way subserves the public interest and ought not to be adopted. Councilman Furay, who was elected on the e of making the cut first men- tloned, has fa'led to bave It done, and his constituents urge that the south end of town and Farnam street conld secure an expenditura high up in the thousands through the Influence of their counci men, while this important business thor- oughfare, Cuming street, has not been able {o get a small cat and_fill, the total amount of damsges and expenses of which would not be over $3,000. After repeated delays and petitions on the part of thore who se- cured the walver and pald the damages for the firat grade, the matter has been deferred from time to time by gentlemen who have a mayoralty bug In their ear and now after a promlse from a special committee, consisting of Counc en Hascall, Bechel and Furay, it s said that they have agreed to Ignore the petition of the various interests, return the money to the owners, adopt the grade commenclng with a crown at Idaho street, slanghter everybody aa far east as Center, let the city pay the damagee, as there I8 no walver on that grade, and leave the mud hole unfilled west of Idaho. The result will be excessive expentes in the way of damages, an In- complete street, a hill with a mud hole at each end, nobody benefitted, and everybody dlegusted. It is understood tkat the citizens are going to have a meeting very soon and probably these matters will play a very prominent part in the next election, * BIRTHDAY FESTIVITIES. The Little Folks of Walnut [HI QOongratulate a Companion. The eighth tnstant belog the seventh anntversary of the birth of little Miss Mary Taggart, only child of Mr. and Mrs, Charles Taggart, the first named so familiarly and favorably known especlal- ly in the rallway postal eervice, there was quite a congratalatory gathering at their reeidence, Walnut Hill, West Omaha pre- cinct. Twenty-five little ones graced the occasion, and a merrier collection of in- nocent youth has seldem been seen in theee parts. Of course some of the old folks bad to be on hand to live over in memory, at least, the happlest days of their liver, and one noticeable feature of this _birthday party was the presence of Mr. Connell Furay and his estimable wife, grandparents of the little hostess, whoze honored lives have passed their four-score milestones, while gently aleep- ing near by was the baby Fink, another grandchild, scarcely half a year in this world, Of course Uncle John B. Furay bad to be on hand or the birthdsy party would have lost half its interest. The alderman was as lively as the liveliest and made more innocent fan for the as- sembled children than a circus, He ssys his relatives are increasing eo rapidly in number that it will not be long before he will have to attend two birthday par- ties per day in order to take them all in. Altogether Miss Mary Taggart had a right royal receptlon, and it is the earneat with of a hest of friends tha! she will live as long as her estimable grandparents —who from their present hale and hearty appearance will moat probably celebrate their “‘ninetteth,” ————— A little but not nlce Schenectady glrl plays this game: She rings a house bell about dusk. When the door is opened, she sobs violently, saylng that she has lost five cents near by, and wants a lan- tern to look for it. Instead of a lantern, which she does not want, she is given the five cents, which she does wanu. “Theu she goes on to the next house. Ao Absolutely Pure.
