For the past two or threo days the im- mense quantities of wall paper and decor- ating materials that have beon unioaded at the new establishment of Gillette & Free- man at 28 Pearl st, has attracted as much ublic iuterest as the new hotel. The estab- ishment of these enterprising young mel will certainly bear all tue inspection that can be attracted, for outside of whole- salo lhouses ihey bave the largest stock in the state.

THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE, Alderman Everett's Stand on the City Printing—Peter Lowis' Foarful Fall — Strong Medicine for the Vags. The New Chief or Police. 1t 18 at last definitely settled who is to be the new chief of police, the appointment having been formally tevdered to Wade Cary, and the council expressed approval at the committeo meeting held yesterday after- noon in tho office of Ajderman Everett. The appointment gives general satisfaction, as 1t insures an efficient and thoroughly disci- plined police force for the next two years. The present incumbent, O. H. Lucas, will be supplanted nex: Tuesday afternoon, at which time the council holds its next meeting, and will approve the bond of tho newly appomted chief. 1t was stated by an alderman_last evening that the appoint- ment of Chief Carey met with the approba- tion of every member of the council A great deal of discnssion was caused by the list submitted by the ‘mayor for places as patrolmen. e stated that he proposed to retain several of the old men for the present, including Officers Martin, Kemp, Clough, Cusick, Fowler end Doyle, as ,he desired to give the men u chance, but that if they were unable to live up to the rules and faled to comply with the regulations they would be promptly discharged. Heo asked the council if they desired to retain Patrol Driver Hen- icks on the force, but they unanimously aeclared that he was not fitted for the posi- tion, and he will accordingly be dumped into the soup with some of the others. The rules that have been drawn up to gov the new fo are scorzhers und will prove quite surprising to the members who have heretofore held positions on the force. Among other things patrolmen wiil be pro hibited from drinking or smoking while duty; will not be allowed to converse wit citizons cxcept on business relating to their duties and then for only a short time; will not be allowed to leave their beats while on duty; will not be permitted to enter opera houses, saloons or houses of prostitution ex- cept for the purpose of making an arrest or ordered to do 80 by tho chief; will be required to provide them- selves with a regulation uniform at their own expense; will not be permitted to speak disrespectfully to or about any other member of the force while a member of the force: and will not be allow- ed to use the club to excess or in any angry manner 1n making arrests unless absolutely necessary. ‘The rules are very strict and will be rigidly enforced. Aside from the strict discipline under which the men will be placed, special attention will be given to their training, and a military bearing will be carefully cultivated. It is certain that there are several men on the list who will fail to properly fill the bill, and changes will come as a matter of course. This is expected, and for this¥ reason the will not be required to purchase uniforms until the men are tried and it is proven to the satisfaction of tho chief that they are ficted for the position. It wiil be seen that the purpose 1s to have only #0od men on the force, and appointees will find their respective terms eoverned solely by their fitness or unfitness, as the case may be. The size of the force will be increased to sixteen men, and the day and night forces will be wholly distinct and seperate organi- zations, ‘I'uere will be none of the changing about from day to night duty, and vice versu, as has been the custom heretofore, but the men will become properly trained and fitted for certain positions and will then remain there. ‘The appointment of a captain_rests with the chief, but it 1s understood that A. S. Clough will be called upon to continue in that position, for the present at least, The new appointee is well known in the city, and needs no introduction to the citi- zcns of the Bluffs, That he will make an efficient chief und do his share in making the new administration a successful one is a foregone conclusion. He 18 u strict dis- ciplinavian, and will greatly clevate the standard of the police force. Such a change nas long been needed, and the public will not be slow to appreciate it. el Desirable dwellings for rent at reduced prices by E. H.

At the meeting of the council committee of the whole ybsterday afternoon, the com- mittee consisting of Alderman Everett, Knepher and Woods, appointed Monday afternoon to revise the rules of order gov- erning council meetings, made a report, and it was decided that at all future meetings tho reading of petitions and memorials shall come last. Bills will be allowed only at the first meeting of each month, and this will be tho first business to be considered after the minutes are disposed of. The reports of committees Saud all new business i1s also moved up a notch, but otherwise the old rules were unchanged. Mayor Macrae desired to consult the coun- cil with reference to the apvointment of committees, Heretofore there have been only six committees, as thera werc only six aldermen, but now that there are eizht mem- bers of the council the mayor deemed it necessary to create two new committees, 8o that each aldermun might have a chairman- ship. This will also lessen the work devoiv- ing on some of the old comuuttees, which has frequently proved quite onerous, ‘The mayor wnd aldermen discussed sev- eral matters of importance relative to the olicy to be pursued n various ranches, but of course no official action will be taken until next Tuesday, at which time the mayor will report the new committees, and the organization will be completed. ‘The session was a most harmonious cne and proved mutually agreeable to both the mayor and tho aldermen, The present indi- cations are that the new administration will not bo hampered in its work by any nternal dissensions, but on the contrary that all will work together for the best interests of the city.

The resolution introduced in the council by Alderman Everett in rezard to the ity printing has caused some stir.

WoRabit It Will Bring Good Results. 1t Judge McGoo keeps up his present clip he will very shortly succeed in not only mak- ing a namo for himself and becoming the terror of all evil doers, but will rid the city of a large number of tiugs, bums und worth- less vags who now infest the city. He deals out justice with a liberal hand, and the vie- tims do not relish the doses. William Lambert was before him yester- day charged with disturbing the peace. William had allowed his temper to run away with him, and he knocked in a door in order to get at the object of his wrath. The court informed the offender that his offense was really burglary, as he had broken into a building for the purpose of committing a public offense, and that is what constitutes burglary under the laws of fowa. Hoswever,the charge was disturbing the peace osnd as the limit for that offense was a fine of not more than £50, the cour! concluded to let the culprit off on a fine of half that amount and costs. The defendant could not produce a red cent and was fired back into the hole. Four vags were next arraigned, and in less time than it takes to teil it they were euch a d £30.10, which, 1n aefault of pay- ment, means twenty davs in the city jail. The judge recommended that arrange- ments be made at once for working pris- oners on the streets, and it is very likely that today these iive husky fellows will be started out under an overseer to labor on the public thoroughfares and pay for the provisions o generously furnisied them by the city.

Kerr and Henry Stovenson were appointed a committee to draft a constitution aod by-laws. The club ie organized as a social institution, and it is very probable that it will also be made a benevolent organiza- tion. The next meeting will be held next Wednesday evening at the same place, and native Scotchmen, their sons und grandsons are cordially invited to be present and be- come members, All who join during the next week or at the next meeting will be in- cluded among the charter members of the club. It is expzcted there will be at least fifty charter members, and the membership will undoubtedly reach 100 in a very short time. Much interest was manifested at the meeting iast evening, and it is the intention to make the ciub one of the most popular or~ ganizajions in the city. It certanly starts out under very promising auspices. 4 SRl Dr. H. 8. West, porcelain crown and vridge work, No.-13 Pearl, o C. 1. steamdye works, 1013 Broadway Fel Isatelia Mashed on Thomaes.

A Kansas City Gonple Under Arrest— Thoy Came to South Omaha to Marry, but Didn't Have Time to Do It. What is Heara in Politics. Tickets and slates are as thick as hogs on a good market day in South Omaha now. Most of them are the outgrowth of people who set themselves up as political bosses, but whose influence is founa sadly wanting when the hour comes to push their favorites through. Tom Hoctor saia yesterday that he was going to get out today and do some work in his own interest for the city treasurership. nd for that office the fight is going to be. ‘This becomes mone and more apparent as the campaign draws nigh. Tom Geary is dis- pleased muchly that Hootor should aspire to his fat place and is reported to have snid that he will_run independent in case Hoctor is nominated by the democrats. The way the thing looks now Hoctor 18 sure of the nomination ana *s independent candi- dacy is going ‘to divide forces somewhat in case he is true to his word. An influential democrat said yesterd that he hoped something would ba_learn soon of a definite nature in regard to the candidacy of Mayor Sloane, *‘We have got 10 know about matter quick.” he said. SIf Sloanc isn't going to run we have got to decide on another man. As long as there 18 a belief that the present mayor can be in- duced to serve the people for another term it will be impossible to centralize on another available man. If Sloane won’t accept the nomination I am in favor of puttng up George Parks. Either one poll more votes than any man in Sou Omaha for mayor of the city. The composition of the school board s very liable to depend on the result of the party conventions. While there is a strong sentimoat in fuvor of a non-partisan school ticket no one seems inclined to take the ini tiative in calling a meeting for the purpose of placing a ticket in the fiela free from tho taint of politics. Neither the democratic or republican city central committees have met as yet to issue the catls for primaries and conventions. The primary elections of both parties will be governed this year by Nebraska’s stringent primary election law, which provides heavy penalties for repeating and illegal voting. The primaries must open at 12 o’clock noon, and close at 7 o'clock p. m. Proceedings of the Council. It had to be done some time, and City Clerk Hoctor might just as well worlk his vocal organs now as later in the political campaign. At the last meeting of tke coun- cil the reading of the minutes was dispensed with, 80 when thé meeting was called to or- der Tuesday aight there was an half heur’s work on tho city clerk’s hands reading the lengthy minutes of the two previous meetings. Just before he commenced the roll was called and Councilmen Boyd and Burke were found absent. The first business was the approvalof the plat of Durrah’s uddition to South Omaha. F. Pivonka, J. Pivonka and A. Gary sent in a remonstrance acainst the grading of the alloy between K and M and Twenty-fourth v-fifth streets, It was referred 1o the city attorney. An ordinance was introduced ordering a sidewalk laid on toe west side of ‘'wen! fifth street from Q to N street. ‘I'he ordi nance was referred to the cownmittee on via- ducts, streets apd alleys and was subse- quently reported on ard passed. The property. owners on Twenty-fiftn steeat from M to Q strect asked that the street be ordered paved with Colorada sand- stone. It was refdrred, Laffenburg & Clark asked permission to use o portion of N street in front of their new building for an area way. The petition was granted. J. I Ritchart and others asked for a fire alerm box in the neighborhood of ‘I'wen! third and I streets. It was sent to the com- mittee on fire and water. with power to act. A petition for the appointment of a milk inspector went to the mayor for a recommen- dation in connection with the request. Marshal Malonoy asked for additional pay for his services as street commissioner. The finance commzittee will consider the request. A replat of two blecks of McGavock & O’Kceffe's addition facing on N street and Missouri avenue was presented for approval and referred to the committee on streets, viaducts and aileys. The replat was ac- acepted and approved. Charles Cumwing was appointed on the Tourth ward registration board in place of J. C. Huff, and Thomas Kelly i place of Charles King on the board for the Third ward. The committee on public property was instructed to secure suitable quarters for the registration boards during their sit- tines and report the places selected o time for publication previous to the sittings of the boards. 5 ‘'The council adjourned to meet on next Monday night.

Vanlurburge is twenty-two vears old and the giel slxteen, Mrs. Freeman states that they are too little acquainted with American laws and customs to realize the predicament they are in.

Mrs. E. M. Richardson are in Threats of Another Outbreak in the Pasgenger Rate War—Those Plans, Indications are strong that further reduc- tions will be made very shortly in the Chis cago-Missouri River-Colorado passenger rates. The war is so devoid of excitement that ticket agents and street hustlers are fecling lonesome. *‘The cut to §S and §5 hias not,” said one man, “brought us any more busmess thun we had be- fore. Whether it is because people have no place to go or are waiting in antici~ pation that rates will drop still lower, I don’t know. It1s nonsense to run along as we are doing now. Nobody gets benefitted. The rates either ought to be restored or put on a Dpropar war busis.” ‘'he fare from Missouri river points to Denver, Colorado Springs and Pucblo, by all lices, is now $£10, though there seems to be a mutual understand- ing that only continuous train tickets cai be sold at that figure. ‘This restriction, it is claimed, was put'on to preventscalpers man- ipulating the rates between Denver and Pueblo. On the failure of certain lines to comply with the rule is based a prevailing supposition thut another break will be made. A roport has been circulated to the effect that the Union Pacific allows 8 two days’ limit which onubles scalpers to sell tickets from Omana and IKao- sas City to Deuver over that road at 35 and 1aake up the other §2 by sell- ing the Denver-Pueblo coupon separately. A# a result the Union Pacific scoons in more Denver business than its competitors and they don’t like it. Another road, whether the B. & M. or the Rock Island is not stated, is charged with paying $.50 commission oni every Denver ticker, which gives the scalpers un opportunity to “make a cut of &L least §) between Chicawo and §2 from the Missouri river, to Colorado points. Between Chicago and the Missouri river somo roads are paying a commission of § which reduces the first-class rate to §5. In order {oshut off thatsort of secret work lines not practicing it threaten to lower the advertised $5 rate to 5 flat, and make the first-class rato to Colorado §5. The Sum it Can Stand. In the course of his address before the congressional committeo on railroads last Monday, President Adams, of the Union Pacific said, among other things that it was not for the best interests of the government to hamper this corporation or embarrass its performing the work 1t was credited to do. As matters stand now the compauy is enabied to pay towards the interest sud n liquidation of its_debt_ to the government $1,500,000 a year. Anything mora than that, e declared, would tax the property beyond its strength, This sum rop- resents 2'7 per cent interest on the present computed debt aod ought, Mr. Adams thinks, be sufticient. A settlement on that basis would give the road some chance for development. Surveying the Route, Mr. Lowis, who has charge of the Mis- souri Pacific scheme for a pew line from Union by way of Plattsmouh to Owaha, is out with a corps of engineers sur veying the route. One township in Cass county through which the road will run votea bonds yesterday, and the others are expected to follow suit next woek. Notes und Personals. P. M.
