The eight-year-old son, Otto, of Mrs. Cole, who is in the county jail with the man Andrews, awaiting action 1n their case for residing together as man and wife, has been taken charge of by the police, the parties who have taken care of the boy since his mother’s incarcera- ;11011 having become tired of caring for him. Judge Ford, of this city, is confident that he has found a hole " in prohibition big enough to drive & license ordinance through. He cluims that the act of 1876 amending section 463 of the code, whereby cities and towns are given au- thority to regulate and license, or tax and prohibiv beer and wine saloons, has never been repealed. He has been epend- ing a great deal of time looking up the history of the legislation, hunting up au- thorities, and is confident he is right. The newspaper friends of Frank Clark, who howled se lustily because his credi- tors sought to secure their claims, were the first and only ones to scatter the re- port that he had skipped the city. The roasting they gave him was hotter even than the weather. Now they hasten to take it all back, and apologize for their hasty injustice. They try to make it right by declaring that he only skipped over to Omaha to purchuse new furni- ture for the hotel, and they vouch for his having the hotel run- ning better than ever in a day or two. ‘The proposals of the gas company and of the electric light company,for lighting the streets, will probably come up before the council at its meeting this evening. The gas cumlmn_v has kept its proposal very quiet. It has beenin the hands of the committee but kept secret. Itis un- derstood that the reduction granted by the gas company is very small. The rroposn! of the electric light company has already been published in full. There is little question but that the electric light system gives better satisfaction to the ditlzens, and if this system con be secured at a reasonable expense, the majority will surely favorit. The chief objection on the part of any of the alder- men seems to be against making & con- tract for so long as five years. They say they expect firent improvenients in strect lighting within tive years, probably les- been seningthe expense greatly. § ———— For rupture or hernia, call and get Dr. Rico’s new invention.

SUBURBAN STREET LIGHTING. Another Accident For Lack of a Danger Signal—Delays of the —A Demand For More Flats, Among the Hackmen, There is probubly no city west of Chicago that has the reputation of hav- 1ng 50 many fine hacks as Council Bluffs, This city now has a better class of hacks than many cities more than double its population. That these hacks receiye a liberal patronage can readily be seen by the way new ones are continually added to the large number already in business. The hack business is like everything else. People patronize hacks in good condition while they prefer walking or street cars to hacks that are completely worn out with age and hard usage. It is few years back that Coun- cil Bl 1id not have a hack fit for day use. They were all “night-liners,” and the proprietors took great pains from ex- posing them to the sun’s ravs else they should fall apart. In the “‘night liners” many a dark aced was done, But the days of **doing up"” men seem to be a thing of the past, at least in Council Blutl, it being a long while since any extensiv e come to light. The hack business is an old one in this city, but it does not seem to have added any more to the financial pros- perity of those engaged in it than any other line of business, none of them hav- ing retired from business millionaire: ack in the forties there were such things as hacks here but they were limited to one or two vehicles. In fact, the sa an be said of them throughout the fiftics. In 1856 John Dohany ran a hack hne in connection with the Mis- souri river boats that landed passengers ut n wharf near what is now known as Lake Manawa. It was then a profitable business, Theodore Bray and Tom Skin- ner both were 1n the hack business, but all the old timers have gone into some other line. Jake Rogers ran a 'bus line for fifteen years apd sold out to Harry Beccroft, who stlll continues it. During the time Rogers bnefnn operations there were a number of hacks, but they were patron- ized by the roufh element. Three-card- monte men and others helped destroy the better cluss of patronage and the busi- ness died a natural deuth fourteen years ago. In 1879 W. R. Vaughan attempted to run a line of Herdics, but they “‘went out' for want of patronage. 1n 1883 Harry Beecroft started up the hack business that had remained dead for at least five vears. After a while he sold out to Mike Weatherbee and since then the business has fallen into the hands of William Lewis, William Martin and others. Beecroft has lately only been running one hack, but is again going into the business and expects another new coach daily. By degrees new, expensive hacks were placed on the streets. They cost in the neighborhood of #1,200 each. Two years ago Wiiliam Welch entered the field with first-class vehicles, and these men have been con- tinunlly adding fine coac to their stock until to-day, no city of can boast of such a quantity of fine hacks as this city. Recently several cabs or couves have been put on by both William Welch and William Lewis and run in connection with their hack hines. The people of the city havn't taken very readily to the cabs as yet, but in time they will, no doubt, be found preferable to the larger hack for varties of two. The cabs cost $700 to $000 each. It might not be amiss to state in con- nection with this_article that the gold mounted hack of William Welch seen on the streets daily cost $1,450. T'he double harness cost $150 and the team aoout $500. Makjng a total investment of $2,000. And still people will kick at being charged 25 cents for a ride 1n it. Sl T The New Street Lamps. The Sun Vapor Light company are busy putting in their new lamps in the street lamp posts on the outskirts of the city which have heretofore been lighted by gasoline. There are over forty lamps in now and by Wednesday all of the 110 lamps on hand will be in place. They are to put in 200 in all and by next week the portion of the city in which they are located, will be highted by the new com- pany. Too Saving With Lanterns. A two-seated carriage was upset and greatly damaged Saturday night on Fourth street, between Fifty avenue and Story street. The occupants were more or less injured by the upset, and had it not been for the horses getting loose much more damage would have neces- sarially followed, as the horses started off on a run. All this was caused by obstructions n the street not having a danger signal dis- played. In building the sewer a barrel was set in the ground at the end of the excava- tion. It was only slightly above the ground, and the horses were ou the barrel before they saw it. Had the proper signal been displayed no damage could have arisen. Several accidents have lately been caused by this neglect, and more care should be taken by persons making ex- cavations. Big Bodies Move Slowly. Some little stir was occasioned by the report on the street yesterday that a me- chanic’s lien had been filed on the Man- awa motor railway late Saturday even- ing. That everybody 1n this city has be- come more or less disgusted with the way the motor line has been allowed to remain in its uncompleted condition is well known, but that a lien should be tiled against it was quite surprising to many, as Mr. J. K. Graves is known to be a very responsible man financially. That Mr. Graves is a man who takes a good deal for granted, is found in the fact that he anticipated, according to his own statement several times repeated, no trouble in making the motor line crossings over the four trunk railways. He has built many miles of railroad and it seems should have been forearmed as well as forewarned. W hen the state rail- road commission were called to this city at his request to settle, if possible, the difficulties in regard to these crossings, Mr. Graves was not only of the iulsrns- sion that the commssion would decide in his favor but was confident of the result. The decision was apparently much of a surprise to him and has, no doubt, caused him much trouble. It has also raused those who subscribed to the bon- us fund to hold back their payments es- pecially because nothing seemingly has cen done receullfi in building the cross- ings. It is true, that he has had men at work finishing the line, depots, etc., as well as putting the motors in running order. But whithout connection at the crossings what benefit say they, 18 the motor line? Ia consequence of this feeling those inter- ested refuse to turn over any more of the bonus money. The ready have banded Mr. Graves $3, As they re- fused to pay to the Chicago Lumber com- THE OMAHA DAILY pany Mr. ves' orders, or even necept these orders, this company haye filed & lten, describing the entire roadbed from the Ninth sfreet starting point to its terminus at hotel Manawa, for A BEE representative saw S, P nell, the lumber company's re partner yesterday, but that gentleman was extremely reticent, 1 lI[)- he said: “The only reason of this was that those guaranteeing aid for the road refused to accept orders given by Mr. Graves and to secure our compuany we took these steps. As there scems to be a difference of opinion among these gentle- men in regard to their obligations, we saw no other way of securing ourselves. These persons, 1n onr opinion, are equally responsible with Mr. Graves and we thought this the better way. to secure the company, while denling with so many. Mr. Graves is a responsible man himself, but there might be some hitch in a settlement, that this move on our part will now obviate.” Mr. Maccon- nell stated that he was satistied of the great difficulty Mr. Graves had had in se- curing material for the road, and of the trouble attached to the crossing ques- tions, but he trusted the road would soon be running. It now transpires tnat al- though it has been reported that everything had been arranged satisfactorily with all the roads, that 1t is & question still, at which street the crossing of the Milwau- kee track will be made. T i may be settled shortly. 'L roads have agreed to allow n grade cross- ing, is certain. Butit has not vet been put in black and white. After this, much time will of necessity be required before all of the crossing can be made. Some of them are in stock, but whether the greater portion will have to be made to order remains to be seen, by the appear- unce of them on the ground. i At the Pacific house you will save from 60c to §1 per day.

Crofts yes- terday morning preached an excellent sermon. In his prefatory he pictured supposed to be when he gave utterance to this beautiful psalm. literature, evi kling truth, was born of human ex ce. It was uot constructed by mere intellectual power, but sprang forth from human feeling. All the memorial d: were memorials of sacrifice and suffering on the part of those who had achieved great things. Had it not been for sorrow and sufferi for pains und death, for struggles and ad versity, there would have been no Shakes- l\(‘nrc, no Tennyson, no Lm)Fh'.llnw. Language was mercly the holding in tangible and permanent form human ex- pericnces. Words were mere cups hold- ing the wonderful wine of hfe. They were not the wine itself. The experi- s through which Moses has passed developed in him the wonderful truths which he had so beautifully expressed in this psalm. ‘L'his earth was a good dwel- ling place for the body, but the soul needed ing place which earth did pot afford. For the soul there was a dwelling place not made by hands. The great yearning for such a home of the soul, common to all earnest men, led Moses to cry out in the words of the text. The first feature of the utterance which attracted attention was the permanence of this dwelling place. [t was the things unseenr which were real aud lasting. The things scen would pass away. The works of man, earth itsclf, the stars, even the sun would pass away. The dwelling place of the soul was eternal, because it was God. It was a dwelling place, too, where love abonnded. Money could not buy a home. It could only buy a plac 1t was not the costli house that the truest home, There must be that love, without which no palace could be a home, and with which a hovel might be a heavenly one. It was a home where there was advancement and progress. There should be great comfort taken from the thought that as children of God, made in his image, there was sucha dwelling place awaiting all. The reali- zation of such a futurc should lift one to such a height, that like Moses, he could stand upon the mountain-top of faith, and look complacently upon |Eo storms of life below Rim.
