Mr. Roscwater com- pleted h's work and made a report to the couneil committee at their meeting on Saturday evening. The report shows that the property holders have asked for over s million yards of grading which would cost about §20,000 of = which amount $110,000 would have to be paid by the city, the other balf being assumed by the property. holders. The committee are of the opinion that this is fully 30 per cent more work thun can be attempted the city this time An ordinince be tmportant hus at by will reported to the council at the meeting on Tuesday night and will be tollowed by another next week making provision for the grading of a large number of streets an estimated cost of $140,000. The principal streets to incinded iw this provision are Dodge, Dougla. mders, Hamilton, Jeflerson, Sixteenth, Jackson, Leavenworth and connceting strects about thirtv in all. The demand for the ding of these streets is simply impera tive and is made to afford room for the improvements that are contracted for and contemplated on the streots which are named in the ordinances, Ci gincer Rosewater states that the g 15 much needed on all of thestr inthe numerous petitions but i so limited in its resources that n not attempt the work at The delay in ordering the sitated by the doubt that ex ists in the minds of the council as to what the assessed valuation of the city Ibe for tho coming year.

Butto tell you about the race, T'he town had a pretty good counrse, and some of the boys there owned some really good flyers,of which they were very proud. One of them, whose name I needn't mention, possessed a mare upon whose flectness' he cularly prided himself.

He beeame angry, when I insisted upon the matter, ‘Il tell you what I'll do,’ I said to him jocosely; ‘I'll bet you any amount of money you may name ‘that my pig ean win the Do you take me® The boys standing around grew ested, and commenced to press The other man, whose face by this time was livid with' rage, roared ‘I'll bet you $1,000.

It has already been published in the Brg that Frod Ames, of the directory of the Union Pacifie, had purchased quite an amount of property in this city. One of his purchases comprises the fifty- two feet immediately west of the Omahs wings bank on the southwest corner of Thirteenth and Douglas streets. Mr, Ames proposes to erect upon this one of the finest buildings ever built in Omaha, but has expressed also a willingness to purchase the ground and building where the savings bank now does business. It he should be able to sccure that, he would be inspired to put up a building in keeping with the location and the present and prospective advancement of the city. He has offered no price for the property but has expressed a willingness to hoar the value placed upon it by the owners. Accordingly, 1 mecting of the directors of the bank will be held to-day to decide whethe not they will part” with theire building and ground e building at present brings but a poor retyrn upon the value of the property, and the in- come cannot be increased unless a new structure be erected or the present one so modilied as to enable it to compete with better equipped stroctures. It s understood that a number of the directors are in favor of selling the place and ront- ing from Mr. Ames, whilo 1t is known that some are opposod to the schemo. et A Pickpocket Folled. The confidence sharks and pickpockets who followed Cole's circus into the city, met with vory peor success, thanks to the igilance of the police forco and the do- tectives who accompany the circus and to whom most of the crooks are well known. One of the sharks, evidently a pickpocket, was caught at the oircus rounds in attemptto kick the props from under one of the tiers of seats upon which were seated sevoe 1 people. His plan was doubtless to e i tho midst of which he and his pals might reap a harvest. He was caught by an employe of the circus, who xlfil';:('s that he turned him over to & policeman, but for some unknown reason the afluir was not reported at the police headquarters, Fire Lods on a Journey. Assistant Chief J. J. Galligan, of the fire department, left yesterday to attend the tournament of the Iown firemen, which takes place this week in Dubuque.
