FEIL, Notary Publie, T thirty days of grace asked for by the Union Pacific are up. THE time has come whcn-the people of Omaha must stand by Omaha. And 1t looks as though they propose to do it. — Irs an ill wind that blows nobody good, Now that Lake Manawa over in Jown is open, South Omaha complains of a loss of Sunday trade. PHERE can be no question about it, Bouth Dakota is up to her neck and ears in the work of constitution making. A RUMNOR js abroad thut H. Hassein Ghoolic Kahn is about to write a book “entitled *'The Press of Amorica, and = How 1 Learned English ar Washing- ton.” PRIVATE DALZELL says he spent just six dollars and a quarter as.campaign ~expenses in running for lieutenant gov- -~ ernor of Ohio. Private Dalzell got left, it is said. WHEeN Sullivan recovers from the drunk which will surely follow yester- day’s fight, 1t is believed that he will _ go into active training for Boston’s next mayoralty contest. ‘WHILE the council is wrangling over the ordinance creating the office of city chemist, the sly milkman chuckles to himself as he mixes his chalk and water for the Omaha babies. OMANA stands to-day where Chicago stood twenty years ago, offering ad- vantages to investors equal to those offered by the Lake City then. This is the characteristic way Dun’s commer- cial agency pictures the prospects of this city. TaAERE need be little fear that the alien law, which went into effect July 1, by which no alien can be employed in state or municipal public works, " will cause a stampede of foreign labor- ors from Chicago and overburden the labor market of Omaha and other cities. The law in all probability will naver be rigidly enforced, and if it ve, there 4s little question but that it will be ‘brought into the courts and its consti- tutionality tested. THERE is no reason why Sunday ex- cursions into the country should not be- come n popular feature in Omaha as in other cities. There are delightful groves and streams uear to nature’s heart within a radious of twenty miles of this city. By a system of hourly trains on the railroads the average man " and his family could enjoy at least one doy’s outing in seven in the fresh air and green fields during the heated term. BI1G-HEARTED Montana wants to pay her state officers liberal salaries to keep their hands out of the publiccrib. It is ' proposed to give the governor a com- fortable berth of five thousand a yoar. The treasurer and secrotary of state are each to receive four thousand per annum for their services, while legisiators are %0 pass baa laws at the rate of six dol- lars & day and legal mileage. No won- der Montana is ablaze with political ex- citement, and every mother’s son in the new state is a candidate for office. — For a number of years the Standard ©Oil trust has beeu trying tocrush an in- dependent oll refiner of Marietta, Ohio. But instead of yielding to the pressure of the mighty corporation, the plucky manufacturer turned around and fought the trusts in the courts and before the interstate commerce commission. He was able to show up the underhand methods adopted by the trust and rail- roads to suppress his business. He was charged thirty-tive ceuts freight to move a barrel of petroleum while the trust paid but ven cents for similar ser- vice. But worse than this the twenty- tive conts over-eharge was divided be- tween the standard oil company and the railroada; Despite such gross wviolations this Marictta refiner had the eoursge and persistency to bring the 0!l monopoly to terms and to recover damages from the railroads for their un- lawtul discrimination. There is conse- quently much to admire in this man who single-handed battled against the dragan and there can be little doubt that he will be able to hold his own. AFTER THE BATTLE. Brutality has had its day. In viola« tion of law and in defiance of executive proclamation Sullivan and Kilrain, with their backers and attendants and soveral thousand patrons of the prize ring, yesterday invaded the state of Mississippi, where for more than two hours the brawny sluggers hammered and pounded each other until the stronger and burlier bruiser was de- clared the victor. The dispatches de- scribe the brutal encounter with all the elaboration of detail and incident which experionced and capable correspondents could give to 1t, but the most graphic pen would fall far short of giv- ing an adequate idea of the brutality, the ruffianism, and the worse than savagery which held sway during the two hours and eighteen minutes in which the two perfectly-teained mus- ocular animals put forth the utmost power of every musclo and siaew in the conflict for supremacy. It is not the brutality of the fight alone which justi- fles condemnation of events of this char- acter, but as well the rufflanism inci- dental to them. Of the three or four thousand who witnessed the Sul- lMvan-Kilrain battle probably at least one-third were rockless and desperate men—reprosentatives of the very worst eloments of society. It noeds but the suggestion of such a horde let loose where no law was likely to in- torfere with them to give un iden of the scenes that must have occurred before, during and after the fight. The inevitable tendoncy of associntion with such an qceurrence is to bring forward all the brutal instincts and to give ruffianism in its largest meaning full play. A prize fight such as that of yes- terday presents nothing in all its de- tails and incidents thav is not de ing and demoralizing, and the evil in- fluence does not stop when the fight is at an end. Since it was not possible or practica- ble to prevent this oxhibition of bru- tality, all reputable citizens will be glad it is over, so that hereafter the columns of the newspapers will not be burdened with the prize-fight literature, and those whose minds have been absorbed with it can dismiss such worthless mat- ter from further attention. It is to be hopea it will be very many years before the American people will again be called upon to interest themselves in an event of this kind, and to witness 50 bold a disregard of law and execu- tive authority as its occurrence in- volved. Meantime the muscular ruf- fiuns who participated in yesterday’s battle will doubtless make a tour of the country, separately or together, giving exhibitions only a little less demoraliz- ing than the fight itself. It may be an opportune time to suggest the gencral adoption of more stringent measures than now axist prohibiting thic class of oxhibitions. SEIKING INDEPENDENCE. The enterprising people of Wichita, Kan., have instituted in a very earnest way & movement designed to secure the independence of the material interests of that state of the alleged unfair domi- ration of Kansas City. They eclaim that the prosperity and progress of the Missouri city have been achieved by means of the commerce derived from Kansas, und that the people of Kansas have had none of the bene- fits. An appeal is made ¢z Kan- sans to cnt loose from the com- mercial control of a communuity that has no sympathy with Kansas, and to combine their efforts to build up ‘the cities in their own state. Every consid- eration urges Knnsas, says one writer, to strive earnestly to accomplish com- plete commercial independence, and break the rule of Kansas City over Kan- sas. ‘At what date we will be free,” goes on the writer, *'T can not state, but we will be free whenever the people of Kansas become equally ‘wearied with taunts, sneersand jeers of Kansas Civy. ‘Whenever the pcople of Kan- eas realizo that they are the masters and Kansas City a pauper dependent on Kansas, there will be a degree of freedom.” Whenever Kansas 1 earnest demands a system of railroads whoso dividends are made up from a shrinkage of the systems at Kan- sns City, and whose interests are inimi- cal, to the growth of Kansus City, Mo., we shall have a degree of independ- ence.” Nothing could so well as this illustrate the spirit in which Wichita is now seeking to break the commereial power of Kansus City so far as the state of Kansas is concerned. The state pride and local ambition which prompt this movement are not to be contemned. The people of Wichita are quite right in endeavoring to build up their city and to impress upon the people of Kansas the duty and expediency of giv- ing primary consideration to the inter- ests of their own state. 1f they are in the position of dependence alleged, with Kansas City exerting an arbiwary control over them commercially to their disadvautagethey will do the wise and proner thing in ridding thomselves of such a domination if it be possible to do 80, But is it possible? The writer al- ready quoted thinks so. He suggests railroad lines to the mnorth through Omaha for eastern connections and [ Xu Omaha connection, not allied to Kan- sas City, Mo, would result in the Santa Fe and Rock Island giving & “Kansas rate” based on Chicago and not on Kansas City at all, and this connection Kaunsas demands now as much as it ever demanded the Rock Is- land railroad. A railroad from Omaba, with Leeders running in overy direction, virtually puts Kansas on & Chicago basis, for the rea- son that if the Omaha connection has no in- terest in Xansas City, it could make its rate based on Chicago throughout Kansas with- out infringing on the “interstate ac or violating the loose moral codeof *‘trunk line managers," at Kansas City. We will ppose a rallroad from Omaba to Emporia, from Empona to Newton or El Dorado, from Newton or El Dorado to the Neutral Strip as & main line. We wil suppose that branches from the mortheast and northwest, southeast and southwest, and from the east and west are built by it. We will suppose that this railroad’s interests were all Om: s, Chicago, north and east interests. Wi will suprose that Omaha in every way en- deavors o compete in this new fleld with Iansas City; that its jobbers are busipess men. What would be the result to Ka What the effect on Kansas City! Assoon Kansas takes bold in earnest this railroad and others will be built. Kansas has enongh of Kansas City roads; what we need is Omaha, Chioago, Memphis, New Orleans, St. Louis and Texas. Omaha needs Kansas trade as much as wo need a decent froight rato from the oast. Our interest and Omu- ha's is tho same. Omaha’s attitude toward Kansas City is tho attitude every soif-re- specting Kansan should have. There is nothing in this in the least degree impracticable, and the consum- mation of such a project can not be re- garded ns by any means an improbable ovent of the future. That it offersa way of relioving Kansas producers and merchants of the exactions and of the arbitrary domination of which they complain, apparently with ampld justi- fication, scems obvious. Tho progress of the movement, which is evidently very earnost, will bo rogarded with an interest not confined to the people of Kansas. Nor to e outdone by Montana or Washington, Tdaho also holds her con- stitutional convention on the assurance of her delegate in congress that a good constitution is a ready passport for be- ing admiited into the union 1n 1890. The governor’s last report of Idaho's population and sinews of industry and progross is decidedly encouraging and, if reliable, speaks well for that terri- tory. The year on which he reported, 1887, showed a valuation of twenty-one millions of taxablo property, a popula- of one hundred thousand, eight hun- dred and.soventy miles of railroad and o production of the precious metals to the value of nearly nine miliions of dol- lars. Of course Idaho has made consid- erable advance since that time and pro- poses to show it in the census of 1890, whon she knocks at the doors of con- gress for admission. Unfortunately for Ideho’s asoirations the Mormon ques- tion is a troublesome thorn in her side. No matter how much her physical de- velopment and population may entitle her to statehood the fact that in certain counties adjuncent to Utah, fourteen out of every fifteen 1nhabitants are Mormons will make the subject of her admission a delicate one for congress to handle. TrERE is a difference of opinion in the south as to the proportions likely to be renched by the schems to establish a negro colony in Mexican territory, but the opinion in the southwest—the black belt—is that the exodus will be a big movement. Should the result confirm this view the south within a few years might seriously feel the loss of negro labor which it could not replace in its cotton and rice fields. An extensive migration of the negroes of the south might assist in solving the race prob- lem, and in this respect would be important, but it could hardly fail to materially af- fect those southern industries in which white labor cannot perform equal servive with that of the negro, while at the same time costing more. There are interesting possibilities in this col- onization scheme, but its success is not sufficiently “assured to render a discus- sion of them 1mmediately profitable. Tie spring wheat crop of the north- west, from current reports, will not be more than a fair average crop. Itis, however, not best to pin one’s faith ab- solutely on such predictions. Like the bu'leting sent out last year, the reports ma, be wholly misleading and the re- turns from North and South Dakota as m_Minnesota may be better than they are painted. One thing is certain, however, Nebraska is very likely to astonish her sister stutes with the quantity and quality of her wheat crop for 1889, and bids fair to wrest the 1aurels from her neighbors to the north as a great wheat growing state. AMERICA will shed few tears if Mr. Hadji Hassein Ghooly Kahn really in- tends to shake the dust of America off his feet on account of the wicked news- paper flings at his master, the shah, and himself. Diplomatic relations with Persia do not count for much on this side of the Atlanvic. The sensitive Persian does not buy American corn nor eat American pork, and as we have no eastern question to bother us, Uncle Sam may snap his fingers at the depart- ing foreigner. THE schems of a Kansas politician to induco the colored population of the south to locate in Oklahoma is rather impracticable, for the reason that the territory is so small that it will not af- ford room for the rapid increase of the negro race. A more feasible move would be to confine the whites within the limits of Oklahoma, and give to the blacks the v r; Tue invitation issued to members of the defunct greenback party to assem- ble in their respective districts and choose delegatos to a convention to be held for the purposo of reorganizing the party, is very much like the invita- tion to persons to attend the reinter- ment of a departed friend. itis a sad affair. — BUFFALO BILL has been engaged by the Fronch government to teach cuvalry officers to ride in the American style. 11 Colonel Cody keeps on growing in popularity he may yet become dictator of France.

Collins. Ocpey, Utah, July 5.—To the Editor of Tue Bee: Knowing your paper is ever ready to do a kindness or an act of justice, and is also universally read, I make bold to address you upon a matter in which I have been grossly misrepresented by the Denver papors, The facts are these: ‘W. Lawson, cashier of the First National bank at McCook, Neb. (a place where I lived for many years), at the instigation of George Hocknell, flled a contest on my timber claim, alleging that I had sold the same, and relin- quished all my right and utle to it. One weck after the contest was put on, Mr. Hocknell and A. Campbell sent J. Burnett, of Hastings (who used to run a bourding car on the B. & M.), to Denver to try to find evi- dence to sustain theallegation, Not satisfied with the resulstet of this trip, we find them again, on the 13th of June, sending J. Bur- nett, W. Muilen, clerk at the United States land ofice at McCook, and J. E. Kelley on the road to Denver, all riding upon B. & M. employos' passoes, issued by A. Campbsli, di- vision superintendent, and all going for the purpose of securing testimony to sustain their charges. 1 was in Bingham & Teaguo's oftice, in Deuver, on the 14th of June, attending' to some business, when I saw the then B. & M. employes come into the ofilce, I waited, as you can well imagine, to see what the har- vest would be when this great lawyer, Kel- ley, offered Bingham & Teague $300 for their aflidavit setting forth that I'had offcred my timber clmim and relinquishment to them. Ithought this was going a little too far, so 1 appeared on the scgne, But now what s change! Kelley turned white, looked at mé and said, “How do you do, John?” il 1 replied by hitfing him on the head with a cane, When they sy that I pulled a revol- ver they kuow i tReir inmost hearts that they are telling 9, bare falsehood, as I did not have one in ily possession, which I can prove by reliablé/pattics who were eye wit- nesses. Only for J. Burnott't grey hair he would have got some of the same medicine. The Denver papars carry the idea that but for W. Mullen, Mr. Kelley would have been badly used. o In regard to Mt Mullen I will say that he begged like a cury mud stoutly asserted that he did not kuow,theerrand the others were on or he would gt have been caught with them, at any rdte, I propose to find out whother it is custonibry for lsud office clerks to hunt up evidencd. To the credit apnd, honor of Bingham and Teague, I will say that they spurned the offer made thew, and told Kelley and his ac- complices that they ought to bein more honorable business. . 1 will give filty dollars to any one of the three that will come on the stand and swear that I had a revolver inmy possession at that time, I presume the pass book will be at their disposal, so it will' not be very dificult for thew to get from MeCook to Denver.

A RUMOR TO THAT EFFECT. The Frankle Ourrie Oase Still the Toplo of Pollce Olrcles—State Militia Enoampment— City News. P Streer, LaNcouy, July 7. Ths rumor has boen currrat for a day or two what certain banking institutions of Lin- coln proposed to test the constitutionality of the now banking !aw. If this be true, it is undorstood that the test will be made through somo one,or alijof thesavings banks, ndireotly or otherwise, The rumor was re- ferred to Examiners Sanders and McNaugh- ton by Tur Bk correspondent this morning, who stated that thoy had heard such talk, but were not inclined to give it much credit. “In the main,’” said Mr. Sanders, *‘I beliove that the thoroughly solvont bankers of the state are a unit in favor of the new law. I do not bolieve, moreover, that any bankor can afford to put himself on record as op- posed to it. The banking inatitutions of the tsate are making their roports as required by the new low with remarkable rapidity.” In this connection Mr, McNaughton statod thut invoatigation would show that the fail- ure of most Nebraska bankers was the re- sult of investing rogular capital and the cap- ital of depositors in real estate, and being unablo to unlond whon the pinch came. The sentiment is that the new Jaw will provent this cluss of rash speculation. The inspec- tors both exprossed themselves of tho opiu- ion that there wonld not be over a dozen dis- continuances on account of new law. Tho spirit among bankors all over the stato 8e0MmA to be to comply with the law in every respects rapidly us possible. The State Militia. It is altogother probable that the state militia will hold the regular annual encainp- ment as raquired by law, but it is learned that the attending expenso will be Ikept within the bounds of the appropriation. The fact 13, the governor says that he will not permit a debt croated that will call for a de- ficloncy appropriation two years later. So thero will be no chance for u squabble over this matter by the next body of state law- mukers. He also indicates that, although the law makes the encampment and five monthly drills each year obligatory, some, or all ot thom, will be omitted rather than incur a dedt,'and upon the sensible ground that the appropriation is insufficient to admit the law being carried out hterally. Iut, as far as possible, the requirements of the law will be kept intact and, if possible to prevont it, it will not becomoa deaa letter. Moantime preparations for the encampincnt are to go on,-and the militia boys will enjoy their regularouting this year and possibly the next.

Osborne Ward, Librarian Dep't of Labor, Washing- ton, D, C.—Doar Friend—I have this day finished reading my ocopy of ‘‘Anclent Lowly,” which reached me a few days ago. 1 want to congratalate yoh upon tho comple- tion of your great work and assure you that in the “Anciont Lowly” you havo contrib- uted not only the greatest work to the labor cause, but to humanity at large. Your work 18 a precodont for students of sociology, original and unique. I apprehend you have oponed up a field until now unex- plored and utterly incomprehoensiblo until ap- proached from your poit of view, Your work makes manifest tho scionce of socwal evolution, I was pleased with your exposition of the position occupled by Josus m tho ancient la- bor movement. Noo-Platonism has so thor- oughly succoaded in burying the philosobhy of Christ amid the debris of a theology orig- inating in the slave systom of the early pagun ages, that many of the most earnest lovera of humanity it has baen my good for- tuno to_tioet absolutely hate the name of Jeosus Christ. Because a man is a labor reformer is no Rmuf that ho is devoid ot prejudice; and you ave thrown upon the history of the past flood of light that will do much to assist us in understanding the full significancs of tho original Christian movement. Your book furnishos me with positive data to maintmn dogmatically what has hitherto been almost entirely theorotical with me, and Is a most fonderous argument in favor of the position that all problems concerning the humau race cun be solved only upon an ocouomic Dasis; that there can be no freedom without economic freedom. Your remarks on conscience and its origin, its connection with the competitive system, ete., suggestod altogethor new and strauge thoughts to me. In short, I noglected every thing possible on this earth until I had read overy word of “Ancient Lowly." I sincerely hope that the readers of the world may be afiioted with the ‘‘concupis- cence that onthralled me,” so that the de- mand for your book may never be equalled by thesupply. Your friend, T. FuLtox GANTT. ——————— An Open Letter. Oxama, July 8.—To the Editor of Tnsm Bee: Realizing that you desire to do all you can for the welfare of Nebraska in gen- oral, and Omaha in particular, I address this short note to the members of the Grand Army of the Republic in Nebraska, and par~ ticularly in the city of Omaha. It is important, I think, that the next na- tional encampment of the G. A. R. be held at Omaha, and if proper offort is put forth we can secure it. When at Columbus, O., one year ago, 1 took a sclf-imposed duty on my- self at the national encampment to secure support this yoar in every department I could, and there is a favorable outlook to so- cure the encampment, if citizens of Omaha do their part. It w.ll take quite & sum of money to entertain the encampment, as I know Omaha would, shouid she decide to, and somo of this, yes a good share of it, could be given by the railroads centering here, who would have large receipts during the week of encampment. The Grand Army and friends generally are about ready to come to a city directly in the center of the United States, and central for the thousands of Grand Army members and old soldiers in the states of ITowa, Missouri, Illinois, Minne- sota, Dakota, Colorado, Kansas and Ne- brask: So, Mr. Editor, please give this space in your columns, and before our delogates go %o the nationnl encampment at Milwaukee August 24, 1880, we should act and sond by them the keys to the “Gate City" for the en- campment of 1800. can in carrying this to a_successful conclus- jon, and will be at the call of tho board of trade, mayor, or any committes designatea to act in the premises. Respectfully, Jony C. BONNELL. B AVOIDED THE ASSESSMENT, American Waterworks Company Es- cape Assessment. The board of equalization gave attention to all sorts and kinds of complaints, The Scc- ond ward taxpayers filed a numerously signed potition setting forth in general terms that their property is assessed too high; that favoritism had been shown by the assessor and much partiality had been practiced all over the ward. No action in thesmatter was taken by the board and will not be until all the other complaints shall have been disposed of. It soems to be the general opinion, however, that a reduction of about 10 per cent should be made in that ward. The board has just discoverod that no re- turns are reported from tho American Watorworks company property aud an examination into that matter is now be- ing made. The course to be yursued mukes it necessary to ascertaln first what blocks aro occupied in Florence by the company, and then order a special assessment, Lot seven in block one, on which there are no improvemonts, is returned in the namo of Parks, with a valuation of $20,000. Whether the assessor intended that to cover the en- tire holdings of the water works company The oficers of tho company werc called before the board yes- terday afternoon to make an explanation. A Dead Infant. The body of an infant c¢hild was found by two boys yesterday morning in the brush near Smith’s brickyard, corner of Dorcas and Twenty-fourth stroets, The Infant was wrapped in cotton batting and lay in a pine box. It is not known whethor death resuitod from natural causes or violence. Mr. Smith reported the case to Coronor Drexel, who had the body brought to his morgue, where an inquest will be held. TENTH STREET VIADUOT. Questions Raised Regarding it by Councilman Lowry's Ordinance. Mayor Broatch was askoed for his opinion of the ordinance introduced into the couneil by Councilman Lowry providing for the con- struction of a viaduet on Tenth stroet and nssossing four fifths of the cost %o tha rail- way companies and one-fifth to the eity, It has been questioned whether this ordinance would stand under the now oharter, but the mayor says it will, The ordinance reads in offect thayv the council shall have authority to order tho railway companies to bulld viaducts at their own oxponse, oxcopt that the companics shall not be compelied to pay for more than 800 foot of approaches. The city must pay all damages acoruing owing to a change in may bo assessed ngainst the pitted, says he can sco in this to invalidate Councilma Lowry's ordinance. The charter does not provide that the city shall not bear a por- tion of the exponso if it is so desired. The nothing T will be glad to aid all T { ;qgion tas been given out. road can bo mado to bear the entire expensd, but if the city wishes to contribute, there is nothing in tho charter to prevent. General Manager Kimball, of the Union Pacific, whon questioned as to his opinion of the ordinance, said: “The charter specifies that the ruilrond companies shall construct tho viaduct, provided that tho same is witn- in the limit of 800 feet. The viaduct that will be required in counection with the union depot would be much longer. Henoe, another feature has to be taken into consid: oration. The Union Pacific company has nothing to say and will say nothing until the proposition which it intends to submit to the council is ready for submission, which will bo in a fow days.” Nobody Held Responsible For His Terrible Fate. The last three witnesses examined beforo the coroner’s jury looking into the cause of the death of Private Edward Williams, wero Privates McCarthy, Hall and Shattuck. McCarthy testified to finding the dead body on the track and runniog down the track to tell the news, Ho did not know who the dend man was until a party of soldiers came up with a lantern at the time. Shattuck's tostimony had nothing to do With the case. Hall, the private who sald that near the corral he neard a voive ory out “For God's suke don't do thut again,” also gave very moagro testimony. He admitted to one of the jurors that most of the stories tola by him and Shattuck were to avoid being pun- ished for being away from the hospital ufter night without leave. At 10 8. m. yestorday the coroner roturned from the fort and instructed the jury to bring in a verdict on the testimony already oftered, as nobody else could by found who know anything about the case. The jury- men therefore withdrew and brought in the following verdict a few minutes later: “We find that the deceased, Ed, Willlams, private in G company, Second infantry,came Yo his death on the might of the 3d of July by boing orushed and run over by n train of cars on the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missourl Valley railway (probably by train No. 65); and that he was undoubtedly undor the in: fluence of invoxicunts, No blame is at- tached to the railroad compauy or its em- ployes.” The verdict does not directly blame tho lwc\lfud or anyone clse for the death of Willfams, and was so worded because of o lurking suspicion that he might have been murdercd because of the cuts on the head. HAS NOT RESIGNED. Dr. Miller S8imply S8hifted Rosponsi- bility for the ** Life " Bullaing. A report, not entiroly correot, has been sot afloat to the offect that Dr. George L. Miller had withdrawn from the Now York Life Insurance company. When questioned regarding the matter, he said: A fulse im- 1 have not re- signed, though I may give up the work co- tirely lateron. I have simply asked Mr, Booth to relieve mo of all care of our new building, and I presume this_is the founda- tion for a rumor that I have withdrawn. It was understood from the boginning that I should not be bothered with any of the de- tail work relative to the building, but every- thing bas been referrod to me just tho same, and frou this responsibility I have, in o lot- ter to Mr. Booth, asked to be relieved, Henceforth, all the accounts and other mat- tors connected with the management of the building will bo dologated to George N. Hicks and Stephon Gray.” ", B, Devolt has been appointed livrarian, ‘The company s moving into its now quar- twrs, The Second Has Had Enough. Councilman Bailey states that tho refusal of the council to approve the contract of J. B. Smith & Co. for the paving of Twentieth street, from Center to Vinton, was due to the fact that the funds avalablo for paving purposes are running low and that the Scc- ond ward, in which the proposed paving dis- trict is located, has receivod a fair share of the year's paving improvements, while the Soventh ward has been, by error, left out. It was to enable the cour:cil to order certain streots in tho latter ward paved, that the ‘Twentioth street contract was rejected, Pacific Express Building. Next Monday E. M.
