THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY. APRIL 13, 1887 M 'MAYOR BURR'S BIENNIAL. Yho Rtiring Hoad of the Gapital ity Sub- wits His Report For Two Years, PAVING AND TELEPHONE WIRES. Something About the Uincoln Insur- anco Company —The New Motor Line—Prosentation to Lambert- son=Capital News, [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] At the close of the municipal year for the city of Lincoln Mr. C. C. Burr, the retiring mayor, submitted, through Lis message, a detailed statement of the work of the past two years, the cash re- ceipts and expenditures, the bonded in- debtedness of the city, improvements made and work accomplished that is an excellent rofutation of thesclamor of re- formers that it has pleased themselves to make the past two months and upon which they builded successfully a false issue, to turn the administration of city affairs to the hands of the democracy. The bonded indebtedness of the city is $447,500 at the present time and the float- g indebtedness $16,504. In the past two years the city has roceived through taxation $112,598, while the two years preceding this the city received $114,018, changes in the revenue laws making tie decrease 1n receipts the past two years, The showing of the retiring mayor, how- ever, exhibits that with the decreased re- ceipts in the two years just closed that the city has expended $28,588 more in publicimprovements than the former ad- mimstration, and it must be evident at a glance, if the new administration does better, 1t will haye no easy road to travel, Mr. Burr, in his message, took occasion to refer to the police department aund re- fute many charges of incompetency that have boen set up against that department. In the past two years the mayor showed that the sum of $7,430 had been paid over by the police department in fines and the monthly report of Judge Parsons f March showed over $400 paid during thal time, The mayor, on the suh{uct of pav- ing, took a stand decidedly in favor of cedar blocks for paving street intorsec- tions, holding that his opinion, this material was the cheapest and best for the city to adopt. The mayor also advo- cuted the policy before paving is laid, of all telegraph, telephone and electric light poles removed from the streets and the companies be required to carry tham under ground, and the further sugges- tion was made that in view of valuable franchises given gus and telephone com- panies they should be made to furnish gas and telephones free to all city buildin, and offices. As a number of the council hold over, it is very probable that many of these suggestions will be acted upon. THE LINCOLN INSURANCE COMPANY, 1t has been talked among insurance men since the published annual feport of the Lincoln Insurance enmglny has been made that the showing of business done by this company outside the state is very large for any company to transact that lives up to the requirements of the laws fn other states, in many 1nstances where the same is much more rigorous than in Nebraska. In a recent issue of the Chi- cago Investigator, a publication devoted to insurance matters, the following item uppeared of interest to the general pub- lic: “‘In the circuit court at St. Louis an attachment has been filed by the St. Louis Cooperage company against the Lincoln Insurance company, of Lincoln, Neb., to recover $1,000. e Lincoln company was organized about a year ago, is some- thing of & wild cat, and it will be woll for our readers to keop ap eye on it.” Following in the wake of this the BEr representative consulted the insurance force at the anditor's office to see if com- plamnts had reached them, and the ofti- cials there have rmlvea. numerous letters from different parties in differ- ent states asking after the Lincoln insurance company and their manner of doing business. The Lincoln Insurance company, under its papers complying with the state law in Nebruska, shows that it bas a paid-up capital of $50,000 In New Ham i pshire, one of the states in which it is understood they are transact- ing business, the lawy n%ulu that all companies shall have a capital of $200,- 000, and hence it is evident that from such sources comes the kick against this company. If the facts are as understood it will hurt the reputation of Nebraska before the end is renched. THE NEW MOTOR LINE. Yesterday forenoon a business meeting was held of the new motor railway line, and the following officers were elocted: . John Fitagerald, president; J. R. Web- ster, secretary; and Patrick E;{an, D. W. Mosley, McClay, L. G. M. Bald- win, James G. White, board of directors. The capital stock of the eompany is $50,000, and 10 per cent of it was paid in at the meeting yestorday. The directors are instructed to proceed with the sur- vey of the line at once, which will go via North Fourteenth street to the state fair 6rounds and from thence to West Lincoln. ther directions will be taken up without delay and the directors state will be built at once. In conversation with Hou. Patrick Eagan, one of the directors of the company, he stated that material would be on the ground o comwmence layin, track early in May and that the work would be “prosccuted with much vigor, The parties who put in the motor are un- derstood to be in the city at the present time and it all has a decidedly business look for the very near future. A PAREWELL TO LAMBERTSON A number of the members of the United States court at Lincoln met Mon- day mght with Judge E. 8. Dundy at his TooL in the vernment building, aod presented Hon. Lambertson with an elegant silver service, composed of a very finely engraved ice cooler and_gob- lets. The articles aro_very igeniously contrived so that the lower portion of the service can be used as a cake basket, and the cooler as a coffee service. The following inscription nYlwar- on the ice cooler: “Presented to Hon. M. Lambertson, late United States district attorney for the district of Nebraska.” There were resont at the presentation Judge E. S, f)uudy, L. C. Bgrr, E. M. Bartlett, Geo, E. Pritchett, Elmer Frank, Ed Allen and E. 8. Dundy, jr. The evening was spent in social chat and anecdotes of the early history of Nebraska. Mr. Lambertson expresses great joy at the happy parting with his co-laborers of the United States court in an oflicial capacity. AT THE STATE HOUSE. The board of educationallands and funds were in session yesterday passin upon the uw:rmnmnnh of school lands ixn:lmrry, ox Butte, Dawes and Chase counties, The school land remaining in Maaison county was also up for action, and the Fulton tract in Otoe county. The avera, praisal in Cherry county is about per acre, in Dawes count; about in Chase county about f and in Box Butte about $3.85. T lands will be advertised for pub- lic ssle by the commissioner, and the sales held by him wrobably along in the latter part of May. 'l"m Jand sold under the law must realize at least §7 rer acre, and after the sale the remaining lands are subject to lease at appraised values.

WOMEN IN TROUBLE. ‘I'here has been in the last two days three different women at the county judge's office asking legal advice and all seeking divorces and wanting to know the law. One of these women has a hus- band in the penitentiary for life, and she heard that he was liable to get out, so she wanted a divorce before he regained his liberty. Another was the case of a girl who was married when she was fourteen, her parents both testifying that she was soventeen. The girl is eighteen now, has two chilaren and wants a divorce. FAMILY TROUBLE. An interesting case was on the docket for hearing yesterday in the county court. The case was Jacob H. Bonish vs. R. 8. Blumenthal. The latter is the father-in- law ot the former and the two have only been relatea for two or three weeks, yet war is declared and the tition of Bomish sets forth that Mr. Blumenthal entered his castle by dnr and abstracted therefrom a carpet valued at $25, a dia- mond ring worth $175and a gold chain worth $115. The cuse gives promise of great interest. PERSONAL. Judge Chapman was in the city yester- day, coming from Nebraska City, where he has been engaged in the trial” of Hofi* man, the car wrecker, who was sen- tenced Lo hang. At 8 o'clock yesterday Judge Chapman sentenced Bell, Hoff- man’s partner, to ten years in the pen and the judge and the prisoner came to Lincoln on the same train, D. G. Courtnay departed yesterday for Chicago, where he will be “absent for a couple of weeks, taking depositionsin a suit at law in which he appears as one of the attorneys. ——— All our city fathers say ‘‘u 0il, the greatest cure on eart| 1t costs only 25 cts.

Missouri Republicant *‘If T owned all the hens in this country,’” said the mar- ketman, as he counted out a dozen egus and put them in a customer's busket, “and u place to pasture them, I would ask just ten years in business and 1'd be & boss millionaire?"" *‘How’s that?" ““How'’s that? Maybe you don’t know, young man, that over 26,000,000 cackles each day, announcing the birth of the same number of eggs, kept the farmer boys busy last year gathering in the cf- forts of 36,000,000 hens. But they did. Well, these efforts for 865 days resulted in 9,600,000,000 separate and distinct eggs, or 800,000,000 dozen as near as [ can cal- culate. Now, it took just 750,000,000 dozen of thos 5gu to supply the demand for Tom and Jerries, puddings, hard and soft boiled cgizs egg-nog and ham and eggs at that, I figare that 30 cents a dozen, for 1883, was about the average price. Thirty cents a dozen for 720,000,000 dozen climbs to the comforta ble little purse of $225,000,000. There's nothing mean about me, and if I had the handling of those offerings of the nation’s hen I'd be sutisfied with a profit of 2 cents on a dozen. Last year must have been a good one for people visiting in she country, for folks broiled, fricasseed and roasted some- thing like 600,00),000 chickens, young and old. That used up the little balance of 50,000,000 eggs. That 50,00,000 dozen were turned into_chickens that gobbled u{! $300,000,000 of the hard-earned coin of this realm, ciphering the thing down close, at 50 cents a chicken, I don't deal in poultry, but from the size of the dismond pine of the ones that do, I don't hesitate & minute to say therv can’t be less than 0 cents profit on every chicken they sell. Last year New York took 25,000,000 dozen of eggs to satisfy. her, and she paid $0,000,000 to get them.” Now, New York only kevps hens enough to lay about 8,000,000 dozen and so, of course, we have to go knocking around all over the country and part of Canada, to keep uP with the cry for eggs. It would take all the eggs that New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachusctts hens are responsible for to su »ply this city with all the eggs it wants. The 25,000,000 eggs used here last year, if laidina single line, one after another, without a hair's space between them, would reach from Boston to San Francisco. I tell you, there's a big thing waiting for one who can get a corner on eggs. Al O The enterprise of Chicagois by no means confined to commercial channels.

He received $80,000 bonus when he handed in the last page of manuscript of his naval story, and, in addition, a royalty of 20 per cent is paid him on books sold, so0 that he has thus far pocketed about thirty thousand dollars eash from this source. The admiral has also written twonovels which have been mercilessly critised, but from which he has derived a handsome revenue.
