A N IO 375 "THE CITY. There are at prespnt eighty-one men on the Metropolitan police force of Omaha.

Flty-three persons were arraigned in the police court yesterday, ten on the charge of drunkenness. Many of these had been arrested Saturday night. The article in TiHE SUNDAY BEE con- cerning the development of the north- eastern part of the city along the bot- toms, resulted in an unusual idflux-of visitors to that part of the city. The shoe-shaped advertising wagon of the Chicago Bargain Shoe company, was rum into yesterday by a street car at the corner_of Thirteeenth and tipped o No particular damage was done. There is some talk of having hy- drants placed in the n:lghlmrhnud of Florence, asa protection against fire. There is great need of such proviions.

F. M. Ellis, the architect, who designed the plans for the city hall styled “Veritas,” says that he did not have a fair show in the exhibit of the same, as some of the drawings were left by the committee in the city coun- cil chamber for some time aiter their re- moval to the court house. That Decrease. In the bank clearings of last week there was a decrense of 2.7 from the clearings of the corresponding week last weck. Mr. ‘William Hughes, secretary of the clearing House association, ascribes this to the fact that for the corresponding week last year, unusual events made the showing oxtraordi- narily high, while this year circumstances ot mere chance made them low. 'The clearings bavo averaged mucl higler this year thun s Another Financial Institution. Another evidence of the fact that eastern capital is sécking investinent in Nebraska is found in the fact that another financial insti- tution, the Rochester Loan & Building asso- ciatighifs about to locate in _this citv. The home oftice is in Rochester, N, H. The asso- ciation was primarily intended for building purposes, but it accumulated so large a sur- plus that it is desirous of loaning it on good urity. The capital of the concern is 700,000. The oftice will be located in the rown building, Sixteenth aud Douglas street. New Corporations. The Lights of Geneva regiment filed articles of incorporation with the county clerk., It is an organization intended to unite the fraternal bond of the Italian popu lation of Nebraska and educate them in their natiy e language; also to advance the mem- bers in moral and material respects to hold lectures, cultivate char- ity and assist’ cach other in sickness and_distress.

K. Smith, Paul D. Boutell, DeMott Smith and George H.

Some time ago suit was commenced in the district court by one Emma Ruberly, a do- mestic, against Charles Baumly, an aged and quite wealthy citizen for 810,000, for breach of promise, The affair created considerable excitement among Mr. Baumly's friends, who pronounced the case one of blackmail, because they claimed he had not been ac- quainted with Miss Ruberly long enough to form an alliance with her. This view is borne out in proceedings had very auietly one .hy last week in the district court, when the lady voluntarily withdrew her suit, Miss Ruberly is described as a plump, at tractive young woman of the pronounced blonde type, and in many ways quite accom- plished. Licensing Transient Teamsters. The article in Tug Beg, several days ago, with reference to licensing transient team- sters, has found favor with many drivers in Omaha who have established permanent homes here. They sabstantiate the fact that these itinerants, in the past three years, have taken in & great deal of money which they earned in grading, without offering anything like a return to the city, They live in tents, Pay no taxes, and. as 80on as public improve- ments are over, folde the same and silently steal away. has the effect of throwing out of employment a number of teamsters who have purchased rigs, established homes and pay taxes. In deference to the wishes of this class of people it is expected that, to- morrow night, an ordinance will be intro- duced in the council compelling all non-resi- dent teamsters to take out lLicenses with the hope that in this way there will be an equali- zation of the benefits. New Insurance Law. Mr. A. M. Weir, formerly secretary of the board of underwriters of this city, has been succeeded by Jacob Geyer, who retains the former oftice in the Ramge building. Speaking on thesubject of the value policy law which was enacted by the last legisla- ture, he says it will have the effect of forcing the appointment of agents by the several companies, who will be disposed to be more careful in wrltlm.' licies upon property de- sired to be insured. e N RPN *Under the old law,” said Mr. Geyer, ‘‘a man was K:\M what his property was - mated to worth in the event of destruc- tion. Under the new law, however, in the ovent of destruction the face value of the policy will be pala.” In some respects, Mr. Geyer considers the law 88 an incentive to_incendiari In the ate of Wisconsin, where a similar law has been in effect for the last nine years, the companies have paid about two million dol- lars over and above what they would have compelled to pay under the old regime. ; — Most complexion po)vder- have a vul- ar glare,but Pozzoni’s is a true beauti- ry Whose effects aro lasting. THE KITCHEN CABINET. It Discusses the Pros and Cons of the Union Depot Project. The kitehen cabinet had a very exciting sossion yesterday afternoon. Only three members were present, but they indulged in enough vociferous talk for adozen. ‘“‘Itis n settled fact,” said one, “that the Union Pacific and Burlington companies are going to build a haif million dollar depot.” “Don’t you believe it,”” replied a member of the board of public works. “Hut they have signed the agreement and made an appropriation.’’ ‘'Same old story that we have been hear- ing for fifteen years,” “There are too many ‘ifs' in that agree- ment,” interposed an ex-member of the same body. “Only one," suggested the reporter, “‘and that provides for a viaduct on Tenth street 10 be built by the ci ‘A very careful provision,” observed the first speaker. *“They know that under our present law we can’t raise mouney to build & viaduct.” ‘Lot me inform you," speaker, a8 he dropped his clenched fist vehemenently upon a cloth covered desk, *'those Union Pacific fellows don’t intend & build a depot. I know that they are getting ready to turn their old road over to the gov- ernment unless the next ngress grants them that extension of time on their debt.” With these declarations let loose, the two veterans sailed into a red hot revival of reminiscences, and rey the history of Omaha's deals with the Union Pacific ad ministrations for twenty years past. As they talked their spirits grow pugilistic, aud they walked the fluur like caged lions, Should you or an, u[ your friends be troubled with a persistanteough or cold, do not be alarmed, as it can be easily and speedily cured. A fair trial of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy will soon vou of the fact, No cold, how- ever 5o severe, can long withstand its effect. It does not dry up a cold, but loosens and relioves it.

Forrer, who, two years ago, hold a clerkship in the Union Pacific headquarters in this city, is now known it is alleged s forger. He is wanted in St. Louis for sign- ing the name of a prominent merchant of that place to a chack without leave. The forgery was committed on the first of the present month and so cleverly exccuted that it was readil ank where it received £3,000 on Ho then disappeared. A reward of £0 is offered for his arrest. Ferrer is_ thirty-two rs old, but looks younger. He is five feet two or three inches high, weighs about one hundred and twenty pounds, has dark complexion, black hair and mustache and hazel eyes. He is of Spanish descent, speaks his anccstral tongue like a native Castilian, and is of quick and nervous disposition. HE has a scar on the right side of his mouth and a dimple in his chin. He is a splendid pewman. His wife, who is_with him, is twenty-five years old. five feet six, slender and sickly-looking and has brown hair. The crime committed by him is a sur- prise to his friends here. His portrait 1s now in the roguces’ gallery at the police station. Coal tar for sale by the single barrel or in car load lots.

Park Commissioners. Anxiety on the question of park commis- sioners will probably be relieved to-day. It was expected by many that the jndges would announce the names of the parties selected yesterday, but late in the afternoon information leaked out to the effect that the judges had not yet agreed upon them. Judges Wakeloy and Doane were in close consuitation for an hour or more after the morning session of court, but so far as can be learned they failed to reach a conclusions as te several of ke applicants. The list, however, they say will be filed with Frank Moores to-day. It 18 pretty generally believed that Dr.George L. Miller, Judge J.'W. Savage and G. W.
