Powers Should Be Extended Rather Than Curtailed —Board of Public Works and Other Municipal Matters. The Omaha Charter. Broatch wants a better city arter. He thinks the present one should be amended or a mew one crested. His honor was interviewed last night by & Bex re ative upon the subject ““I have no objoction,” sakl the mayor, ‘‘to being put on record as saying that 1 am in favor of amending our present city charter. 18 got to be altered. and though T am not ly prepared to talk to you to-night, still you can say that much.” Asked his opinion upon the question of reverting to the old stylo of things in polica matters, Mr. Broatch smiled and said “Everyone knows hot [ feel upon that sub- joct. Any change [ shail suppert. will not not be to abrogate the functions of the polica comimission, but rather to extond them; to make them more authoratative thau they appear to be at the present time." ¢ about the board of pubiie works ! , sir, you can quote ~ me as saying that I would hgve . that body less of a figurehead, and more of a veulity that it 1s at present. ‘To correctly fulfill the purposes for which they wero led into existence they should be free from the obstructive tactics sometimes brought to play against them. T hope to see the board in this position that they sball huve the final disposition of coutracts sent beforo them, with no appeal from their decision.” The mayor further said that he was simply waiting to seo if any new charter was being prepared by others, if not, he himself would bave one drafted. When spoken to respecting the privileges accorded to cable, motor and horse car com panies, who jumped in whenever it suited them und caused much iconvenience to public travel by the manner id which they left the public thoroughfare, the mayor said that our present charter was sufficiently comprohen- sive to cover that trouble if advantage were taken of the provisions thercin, “'Yes, thore are two or three things in our city charter that | think it would be as_well to amend,”” said Chairmun Bulcombe, of the board of' public works. last night, “but I guess our delecation will attend to them. One of them upon which I have spent much thought is our present system of paving. It is wrong, but the council’ is not to blame s0 much as the property owners. They seem to have become possessed of a mania for paving the streets, and although the near approach of winter will soou put a atop to all works of the kind, the oftice is daily crowded by those wishing the streets paved at once. I tell them its too late, but its they go and badger the men until they order the paving done. Now, 1 think the legislature should restrain the board of public works from authorizing the construction of paving until one year after the grading is done, and ‘the sewors, gasand water mains laid, with the laterals extended to the curb, This would give the road bed a chance to settle and pre- vent paying an exhorbitant price for grading. At present there are no funds for grading purposes, and the mayor vetoes all contracts for grading. The property ownors, howeve rush through their paving sehemes, and th contracts call for an allowance for ‘extr grading.’ The paving contractors hav 1o engage a plant for that purpose, and th cost counts up, us in the case of Vinton street, where $9,200 was expended for grading four blocks at 30c¢ per yard. ' Of course the property owners pay for it, but it would not have cost much more than one- half that amount if proceeded with in the ordinary way. Then, again, when the pav- ing is done before the filled earth in sewer and pipe trenches has settled, it loaves o hollow beneath the paverrent and it soon be- comes broken und useless. The expense of the repairing Lecomes enormous, and as-it 1s paid from the gensral fund it has to be borne by the citizeus at large, who thus suffer from the undue haste of the others. Twentieth street from Pierce to Centre is an example. The paving ordinance was rushed through, aud while the material was being placed on the ground the water works company was laying one large main and the gas com- pany two others. The contractor had to go ahead all the same, and the chances are that the paving on top of the mew made earth will have to be repaired at the expense of the city before long. For awhile Omaba grew 80 quickly that it was necessary to rush. the pavement in the business part of the city to keep our good name, but with the amount. we have now constructed it is no longer necessary. Lam in favor of extending a fow of our leading thoroughfares as far as de- sirable, but think a check should be put to our indiscriminate paving, and I intend to recommend the council to cut down the appropriation for the intersection fund, from $100,000 to #50,000, which will check 1t about half. The only proper way, however, is for the legislature to restrain the council or board of works from orderiug paving to be done until the grading is com- pleted, all necessary pipes and. sewers laid, and the earth allowed to settle for at leust one year. *‘Another thing that should be remedied is the calling for separate contracts for the curbing ard paying.. This necessitates the issuing of scparate bonds, and cavses a great deal of unnecessary trouble and ex- vense. Besides that, it often leads to vexatious delays where the pav- ing contractor has to wait for the curbing contractor, as happened last year, and it gives dilatory contractors a chance to lay the blame on cach other when they don't fecl inclined to push on their worl, and thus escape the penaltics they in- cur. The man who gets the one contvact should get both, und could bid accordingly. To do this the charter should be amended to enable the city council to issue bonds for the paving and curbing combined, and to- let the contracis in the same way, and this would not only save endless trouble and an- noyance, but dollars and cents, “*One more thing is needed,sand that is power for the council to borrow frum the Mayor o counc fund to pay the sularics of another, This is meant for the beaetit of the fnspector and the city as well. We cannot get good men very readily on tho present terms. In the first place ‘they have to wait until the contract is completed and levy made, whieh is gencrady done two or three months afterwards. They cannoteven get a warrant or the scratch of a pen to show that the city owes then: a dollak, and yet they are expectod to keop themselves wnd fumilies alive for vuree, four, five or evon six months without & cent. This is simply im. possible and I have already lost several of my bost men, while others have notified me that they won't ro-engage next year. it lcaves thew open to temptations as well, becnuse when financially ombarrassed, it is only na- tural for them to look to the contrictors they meet daily for & little temperary asvist- ance. Once they receive it their usefulness is at an end, for shey would be more than buwman to repay @ kinduess of thut kind by an over-zealous inspection. The coutractors know it, and doubtless sorze of them would be willnig to profit by it. Now, to put an end toall this, the inspectors should be paid monthly the suuie as other cmployes of the howid be g:apowered Lo al fund, salary fund or other fund, @ sufiviont amount to pay then, and the sum thus taken. from those funds gould by repaid 08 soon as the lovy 1s made.

Merger and his last flame also becamoe en gaged, and both women, by some strange co- incidence, bogan to press for an early mar- riage, Finally he set a day for the emarriage with Dolorita Mazur: She bought an extensive troussean and made all the necessary arrangements, finally sending out the wedding invitations. Worried almost Lo distraction, about three weeks ago Merger went to Mrs. Sicotte's brothor aud made a confession, telling him he loved Mrs. Sieotte a thousand times more than ho loved Dolorita Maruray. The brother proposed that they should consult a lawyer as to tho best method of getting rid of the Mexican sweetheart without opening the way for a suif for breach of promise. They went that evening to Justice Blume, At the sugges- tion of ‘the astics they came again in a few nights and_brought Dolorita Mazuray along. A voluminots document was drawn up by the justice and signed by Dolorita Mazuray and John B. Merger, reloasing each other from all obligations, legal or moral, and, in short, annullmg the promise of marriage. A dozen dressmakers went to workiimme- diately upon_the troussean of the widow, Josephine Sicotte. The wedding was set for anday afternoon, Novembe 4, two days after the date of the agrecmont, and invitations were at once s sued. Mrd. Sicotte spent nearly £500 in making all the necessary —arrangements, Saturday noom Morger called and kissed the bride and looked at her magnificent veil In the afternoon Mrs. Sicotte and her sis. ter, Mrs, Webor, went together to the ofice of the county clerk and took out the mar riage license. Merger did not call to sec his bride Saturday evening. Neither did he put in an appearance Sunday morning. The wedding was set for two o'clock. Guests were nrr iving, the bride was waiting for the bridegroom, all beautiful in her pridal suit, but he did ot come, At half past two Mr. Mallette announced that something had hap pened, and the guests went home. Nothing more was neard of the truant bridegroom, Yesterdaya marriage licoense was granted to John B. Merger and Dolorita Mazury. shettn ART IN OMAH The Exhibit Opening at Mr. Linin- ger's To-Day.

Danger {n Drives Well it hito and cry has be aised against ordinary wells of late yoars,” safd an expert on drinking wator to Now York Mail and Exprass reporter catly, “and there has been adecided increase in the popularity of artesian and driven wells, Decause the water obtained from the shallow, old-fash- ioned well is often impure, people seem to have made up their minds that water drawn up from deep down to the earth will bo free from impuritics. But any such idea is the merest nou- sonse. Tho sources the im- purities of ordinary well water we know becauso they are on or near thoe £ surface of the adjacont land. From just what souroes a deep-driven well obtains its supply of water we caunot: tell, Nuisauces on the surface may bo abated or 0 drained away from the well as to fairly protect the water from contami- n on, In the case of wells sunk hun dreds of fect into the carth we cannot even determine from what directions or from what distances the supply comes, Thercfore, of conrse, wo cannot even attempt to prevent contamination of the wiknown sonrces and do nothing what- ever to eliminate the element of min- eral poisons drawn from the lower strata. The idea that a piped well must bo proof against drai s clenrly uu- tenable. w8 the pipe itseli and surrounding wa of carth and form an ex ut conduoct in which all impu may flow dow to the bottom of the well-pipe. Driven and artesian woe have still anotner had teature, and that is the utter un tainty as to the continuance of their <upply. After thousands of dollars have heen ex pended in sinking a deep well, the sup- ply may only continue for a briof period and then suddenly cense. In that cnse the well is useless and the money spent in its construction thrown away, Water obtained from grentest aepths is usually impregnated with salts or min- erals to am or less dangerous ¢ tent. Itis y fit for industrial u and_the quality of the supply erally grows worse rather t when the pumps are worke up the maximum supply. Avtemps to work u well for all there is in it natur- ally drain - all the ncighboring un- derground sonrces, and moisture of sur- face nuisances in the vieinity of a well thus forced is usual'y soon absorbhed Despite all these objections to deep wells many citics have invested, and are ivvesting, millions of dollars in boring intathe earth on the mere shance of striking o supply of water. Unscrapulous ageuts for divers artesian and driven well concerns suc- ceed in lobbying their sehemes through the loeal governments, the local troas- ury usually has a heavy bill to foot and generally nas its trouble for its pains. A[llwugi‘l to rush from the time-hon- ored, old-fashioned well to the artesian, driven or gang well is often like the proverbial leap trom the frying pan into the fire.” I RN Senator Palmer's Novel. Senator Palmer is writing u novel, says the New York Tribune,and his de- sire to complete and put it on the mar- ket within the coming year isone of the chiel reasons that led him to anuounce to his constituents recently that he would not he a candidate for ro-eloc- tion. My, Palmer has always been fond of literary pursuits and has repeatedly said to his 1ntimate friends that the ideal life is that of the newspaper correspondent. Both in Detroit and Washington the senator has often amused imself by furnishing sugges- tions for newspaper articles, and hs frequently tried his hand at writing himself, and with good suce His vast business interests provent him from following his inclinations iu the matter of newspaper work, however, and so he intends tosee what he can do in the way of writing a book. He be- gan his labor of love last spring, and during the dull daysof the long session of congress, when all the rooms in his big house except his bed room and office were dismantled and ciosed, he put in many hours of good, solid work with the pen. He frequently burned the midnight oil over his task and, dis- carding the assistance of his secretary and friends, he has worked away with great industry The senator has not yet chosen a title for his book. nov has he fully arvanged the details of his plot, In fact this par of the task is giving him considerable annoyance, as the ambitious author has vet been totally unable to dispose of his characters properly to make the dif- ferent parts of the story, which he has perfectly outlined, fit together. The hero of the senator’s book is a sad- faced young msn who is engaged in a constant war with fate, and who is des- unnatural {uspiration tined for an untimely and doath. The only sourco of hossessed by the senator in preparing his story isu huge white cat named Sam, who has great intelligence. When the writer is in doubt about the wording of a passage or the corrcctness of a statement he nddresses himself to Sam. If the answer 18 “Yes,” up feline's tail in the air as stiff as Tt ““No," it drops to the floor with a dufl thud. When congress adjournod Mr. Palmer had come to a question that even Sam could not anse That is, “What to do with the he Ho is & dead weight on the author’s hands and things have come to that point where the sad fa young man must ba disposed of or the writing of the book suspendod. The senator’s colloagues and other friends have beon called upon for advice on this point, and Senator Manderson advises that thesad faced young man be arrested and locked up until some way be dis- covered to finally and efMectually dis- pose of him. Senator almer is at present living in hopes to think up some way of getting rid of his hero dur- in vols, - W he doos he will rush his book to completion. Rev. Dr. Duryea Goes V Springfield (Mass.) Union: Doston loses n good ministor and a valuabio citizon in the decision of Rev. Dr. J. T\ Duryea, pastor of the Central Cou - gational chureh to ocop call 0 an Omaha pustorate. De. Duryeahas been a very busy man. His pastoral caros annot have been light, and his work on the Boston school board has hoon cnormous, espocially during the recent controversy raised by the catholic ob- jection to the use of Bwinton's history in the schools. Bosides Dr. Duryea has vendered valuable service by way of lectures in the New England conser- vatory of music, Welleslay college and other institutions. He says that ho has had i sey good calls during the past year, including one to the presideney of a colivge und another to the head of the theological department of Yankton college, Dakota, where tho salary offered is $2,000 more than fie recoives at Boston. He accepts the call to Omaha, however, at roduction from his present salary, be- wuse he sces there opportunity for good service, {le says: I do not thiok it right that so many ministers gather in the coust citios while the west is calling for men.” While ho was in the west last summer he wasim- pressed with the need of good workers there. When he was in Yankton ata meeting of home missionaries, whose salavies averaged $700 a year, n call was made for money to build an addition to Yankton college. ““When,” said he, “‘those missionarics began subscribing out of their slender means toward it, | was thrilled, and resolved to do what 1 could to help the growing westorn cit- ies. Boston and New England will miss Dr. Duryea, but must admire his self- sacrificing spirit. He ocan do splendid work in the west, and if his example should be followed by the scores of min- isters who ave ready to candidate for prominent vacant pulpits in New ling- land, a long step would be taken toward supplying the eager demand of tho west for christian workers. ——— The time may not be far distant when “dinmonds™ will be so common that their possession will not e confined to the wealthy. for it apy Tug- lishman has sucecedod produoin diamond dust by electric believed that the powder is mond itself.
