b BECHEL'S STRONG ARGUMENT, Bpeech in the Council Meeting Favoring the Grading of Donglas Street. GREAT PUBLIC BENEFIT IS SHOWN, Matter 1s One in Which the Entive City s Intorested - Its Value to Labor—Some Figures, Councilman William F. Bechel yesterday _was kept busy recelving the congratulations of citizens and friends who called to thank him for the offorts put forth in securing the Ppassage of the ordinance providiug for the grading of Douglas strect from Sixteenth to Twenticth, As all of tho roaders of Tnr Bre know, this ordinance was buricd iu the files of the council some weeks ago. This happened ‘when Mr. Bechel was confined to his room by sickness, At tho adjourned meeting of the council Baturday night, as soou as the regular order ©of business had been taken up, Mr. Bechel arose, moved that the ordinance be taken from the files and put upou its final pas: The motion was seconded and a lengthy dis- cussion ensued. The cily engineer was called upon for a statement of the probable cost of doing the work. He had not prepared an actual esti mate, but thought the city's share of the expense would not exceed $12,000. r. Bruner talked of mossbacks and said the Douglus street people shouid grade the street under the three-fifths clause, and stand upon the same footing as residents of the suburban portions of the city. Mr. Specht opposed applying the city' B}runn of the road fund to'the grading of ouglas street. He thought that it should be divided up and go to the other wards. Mr. Bechel quietly retaincd his seat, and after the other mem bad concluded his remarks, arose and said “In support of the motion to pass the ordi- mance for the grading of Douglas and inter- secting streets from Sixteenth to Twentioth streets, I shall for the text of my remarks take an editorial from Tue Evexixe Bee of April 16: WIIY GRADING SHOULD BE DONE, “The ‘three-fifths clause’ of the charter was onacted for the | residents t to allow n ents in instaliments for the nvenience of citizens in the suburbs. ithout this Iaw it would he practicable to do very litilo grading outside the central por- tio) ha. “The grading fund 1s needed on stroots whose Iniprovement 18 demanded for the i terest of the publio zenerally.

Itis a necessary public improvement; iv 1s demanded by the citizens and taxpayers of the city. The street and intersecting streets, especially Eighteenth on the west side of the city hail, are a standing disgrace to the city of Omaha. “It s said that there are no funds to pay the city’s share fof the grading to be done. Lot me vead you a copy of a resolution 1ntro- duced by Mr. Berlin at the meeting of the county commissioners and passed: “Mr. Borlin, belng compelled to leave the elty, asked that the regular order of business be suspended. This was done, after which he introduced the follow ng resolution: “Resolved, That 16 1S tho intention of this \ board to comply with the law governing the evying and eollecting of rond tax within the orporate limits of cities of the metropolitan class, the next levy of which will be wade on or about Ju'y 1 and will give the ci Omaha a credit of about §10,000,the proport fon of said credit to be allowed us soon as possible after said levy is made. “He moved its adoption in order that the Dourd may be placed in & correct position bo- fore the people. The resolution was adopted. what certainly does not look as though we would have no grading funds. Furthermore, I have conversed with other county commis- sioners, and Iam satisfied beyond a doubt that they will act hoporably and honestly ‘with the city, carry out faithfully the pro- visions of the law lately enacted by the legis lature and turn this money over at the earh- st practicable date. They cannot afford to do otherwise. ‘Even with the passago of this ordinance now, its approval bt; the mayor, the nec sary advertising by the board of public works, the lettiug of the coutract and ap- proval by the mayor and council, will carry 1t at least to the midele of June before the ‘work can even be commenced; hence, beforo ln{lhhll: of consequence can be done, funds will be practically available to pay the con- tractor partial payments. “Furthermore, I believe contractors can be found who would not be tenacious in de- manding partial payments, though dne, and ‘would willingly sign a contract to that effect. 4*As regards the plea that the mossbacks on that street should pay the entire cost of grading, it is too puerile and feeble to be given even the dignity of attention. It is ar- rant nonsense, if not sowething worse. This 1s fully covered in Tur B editorial I re- ferred to. “You have passed ordinance- and concur- ront resolutions making eight Lours a day’s labor, To that I do not object; but, at th particalar time, it is not so much the hours of labor that the thousands of idle men want but it is worl mlllnynmnl to keep their families from starvtion. To give tham em- ployment would be tar more generous and charitable than to give them reduced hours without work. This can be done by an early entrance on the work of grading. We know practically the amount of funds wnich we will have for the pur- pose. Paving, curbing, sewerage—that is, main sewers-- contracts’ cannot be legally let until the bonds are actually voted by a two- thirds vote of the people; that means several months in the future before the work can be entered upon. If the members of this coun- cil want to do a generous act for the laboring classos, if thoy want toshow their apprecia tion of theirsneeds and relieve their distress, this and other opportunities are at hacd. Can you afford to nlullil{ yourselves and bave an ayenging Nemesis follow you! “Tho laboring men are growing restless under this unnecessary and enforved idle- ness. They will remember it and those who are accountable forit. If any member will show me other grading nearly @s necessary as this vote for the ordinance.’ Mr. Becbel did not conclude with his speech, but presonted some tigures, showing the amount of money that the various wards have received for gradin the past three years, The lows: vory case, the ‘rlrpnnm during r(s are as fol- = = Third Fitth Hixih Eevent Eighth Ninh Total, First ward, 822 417.00; 96,543, 0; .59 TEEESESS SpEEassEd| & EBSE oot oF gsgsseEs! ; i . general benefits I' will cheerfully . 0,640.04; Fifth ward, 082,40, $13,130.30; Seventh ward, ward, $,114.26; Ninth ward, 563, Theso figures were conclusive evidence to most of the members of the council and upon the roll being culled, Bruner and Morearty were the only members who voted against the passage of the ordinance.

The firm of Remington & Johnson have in their employ a young man that has for his front name a title worn by a great magician or something of that sort. He does the terri- tory south of this city, says the Salt Lake bune, and in his travels has formed the acquaintance of a youne lady who lives at or near tho town of Beaver. The parents of this young woman are Mormons, and tho father and motuer did not look with the greatest favor on the young man's suit. Another fellow, who was in with the old folks, did not either, and when the Salt Laker came around he was generally greeted with the utmost cooluess. But he persisted in trylng to et on tho inside, and this is what he got: The object of his affections was slightly in favor of the young drummer and used all her efforts to win the old folks to his side, but without avail. But as love laughs at locksmiths he likewise gives the merry ha! ha! to all the old people that try to cross his path, and so one night in the dreary month in which the woodehuck comes out and looks 10 see if his shadow is visible sho told her commercial mash that the old gent and the old lady were going to church that evening, and that if he would come around they could have a nice time before they got back. Did ho gof Well, we should say that ho did. Ho put on a fresh picadilly and a brand now four-in-hand and went to the house beforo the old folks were out of sight hardly. The young woman was waiting for him, and the manner in which she ot him into the houso was a cantion to_all those who are not ac- customed to get a quick pace on themselves. But the otber fellow was on deck also, and he happened aronnd just as the door closed on the form of the man_from Salt Lake, and the first thing that be did was to rush over to the church and tell the old folks all about the case, and they at onco started for home. The young woman saw them coming up the walk and what to do she did not_know, as the sire of the fumily was a bad old gent when he was_aroused. It did not take long to decide, and n the twinkling of an eye the young man was hustied into a closet and the door closed and locked. The old ople and the other fellow rusned in, expecting to find the tourist there, and to thoir great surprise he was gone.” 1t would not do to lat the girl know that thoy expected to find him _thero, so they made an excuse that they did not care to go to church, and the trio sat down to talk over the matters that interest the folks down there, and the poor drummer was left in the dark closet to amuse himself by seeing how close he could come ton bandbox and not step on it. Well, those old peopie and thatother young man stayed there until the clock In the steeple struck 2, and then they announced their intention of going tobed. The Mormon boy went to hisown home and the girl went up stairs. In tho meantime the drummer was getting very warm, and the air in the closot was by this timo frightfully bad, But ho could ot got out, and there he knew he must stay until his adored one came down and let him out. And she, poor girl, was as helpless as 4 baby in tho matter, for the old_peoplo laid and talked and talked for two hours. Finally, at 5 o'clock, the light step on the siair told him that the hour of his deliverance was at hend, und @ sccond later, all exhausted, he was once more breathing the pure, fresh air of freedom. As he left the door she whispered to him to call agam, but he made no reply until ho had got out of hearing of the young lady, and then he said, *Yes I will," or something of that sort. But his troubles were not over with by a long ways, and be was destined to have - an- otber adventure. The laudlord of the hotel whero he was stopping had been troubled a great deul with chicken thieves, and on that particulur night was sitting up to seo if he could not catch one ofjthem, 1t was so dark that one could cut it with _a knife and when the youth got to the dor he was trying to find it soas to knock for admission. The crusty old taan, who was dozing in his chair, heard him and at once thought he had struck & mine in the chicken thief business, and he rushed out with @ _donbled-barreled gun, and the first thing that the commercial man lnew he was shooting at him with o lot of goose shot. 1t was in vain that the young man shouted, the old fellow would not let up, and he startéd to run and the landlord after him. As tho old chap had no time to reload his weapon, which was very fortunate for the chasec 'in the chase, he resorted to clubbing, and for the first mile got in some heavy licks in_the rear of the youth’s trousers. Finally the town of Minersville was reached and thero the chase ended. When the young man came to check up he found that he had on what was left of a flannel shirt and that that was about all that he could oall his own. He has quit going to Beaver and another man has that town ou s run, and when a man says chickens in his hearing or talks about going to see the girls o gets mad aud wil ot join in the conver- sation.

YOUTHFUL T RNERS. How Bohemian and German nasts Welcomed the Spring. Yesterday the Omaha turnverein cele- brated the return of spring in a most happy manner, They met at Germania hall and under the leadership of the turnwart, A. Benefeid, marched to Ruser’s park ‘There the young athletes felt the invigor- ating effects of the pure, sweet breeze which, in town, was laden with dust, and engaged in games of both skill and endurance. At noon a frugal repast was partaken of and this was succeeded by a number of lighter pastimes, The athletes in the party were Prof. Bene- feld, H. Rix, G. Blattert, H. Hoffmester, E. Stein, C. Slick, K. Krueeer, H. Lehmann, F. Fruehauf, W. Bloedel, W. Schultz. These were accompanicd by several older members of the organization who are, in spirit at least, as active turners as they were when they distinguished themselves upon the bar and ladder, und among whom were Messrs. Louis Heimrod, C. Kriesel, B, Mohr and G. Reye. The party returned to the city about 6 p. m. Shortly before leaving the grounds a com- mittee of the Bohemian Turner association mado its appearance. 1t was composed of voung men of equal age with those of the German turnverein, aud, like the latter, each young man showed the beneficial effect of his athletic work. The committee com- prised_Joseph Pecival, the director of the club, Frank Fiala, John Krechler, Joseph Dvorack, Joseph Koran, John Mathauser, B! Ninger.

John Gordon on the World's Fair Exhibition. Dr. John Gordon of the Westminister Presbyterian church preached a forciblo ser- mon on tho question of opening the world's fair on Sundays. Open the fair on Sunday, he urged, and at once an army of men is turned into machines, compelled to work without_rest or relaxation seven days each week. To open the fal's gates on Sunday would mean that 50,000 men should be robbed of their woekly day of rest. It was simply a plan of the rich man to make the laborinz man loso his Sabbath and to provent a loss of the gate money. “Let us,” ne concluded, “use every legiti- imato means of petition and private cocre- spondence with the commissioners to induce them to display properly the two great re- sults of 400 years of American institutions, our working man andour Sunday.” L To keep the beard from turning gray, and thus provent the appearance of ages, use Buckingham's dyo for the whiskors, the best dye made. g The Methodist Conference It is gratifying to note the unanimity with which many of the church papers of the Methodist denomination have beguu to an- nounce the holding of the next quadrennial conference of the Mettiodist church in Omaha. Many of the church'phpers printed in tho east scomed loatn to believe that Omaha could or wonl¥ furnish the required bond for §25,000 to secure_entertainment for the delogates at the hotels and to defray other incidental expenses. Now that this matter has been fully, softled most of the eastern papers are not» 8low to acknowledie that the conditious haye been rully complied with and that the conference will” by rights come to Omaha.
