The first day's shoot at tho fourth anuual tournument of tho Omaha Schuetzenverein took place at the club's range at Ruser's park yesterday. The day was magniticent, the sky and wind both being in favor of the shooter, and as a consequence some heavy scores wero made. The range at_ Rusor's park ono of the most complete in the west, with its thorough system of scoriug, marking and record. This is made possible by the system of olectrical bells, which record each marksman’s shot imme- diately alter fiving, which is entered in the sceretary’s books ' before the smoke clears away. This renders it impossible for a_con- fusion of scores, aud cach shooter knows when the shoot is over, that his recordeu scoro is exactly whay he made. Thus after tho trial has been comploted it 1s an easy matter to aggresate ench skot's work. There is no possible chanco for dispute or controversy. ‘Thore was a nice crowd at tho park yoster day, including a large proportion of ladios, aud’ all seemed to Ue much interested in the fortunes of the various competitors.

Cnieado, 1L, Sept. 12, —Drizzling rain was falling and the skies wero threatening whén the marksmen in the United States army toursament bogan to shoot at Fort Sheridan range today. It was tho last days skirmish- ing for tae infantrymen and also their last in the army competitions, Sorgeant Byron Merwin, company teenth regimeat, stationed at Fort Sh made the phenomenal score of 149 points in his morning run. It was tho best run over made on the. range, aud probably wins for Merwin the James S. Kirk purse of $30, of- fered 1o the enlistod man making the best skivmish run. The skivmish for a berth on tho army rifte team was stubbornly contested by the thirty- five infanteymon, who strove to be one of the fortunate ten, ang it is thought brought out botter shooting than has ever been dono in previous army goftests. When the afternoon shoot began, the weather had cleated and tho final test was s00n over. Sergeant Merwin added another 134 poiuts to s scope, making his averago for the day 141, and firmly establishing him- self at the head of tho distinguished riflomen, with a total score of H0. Sergeant J. W. Davis, company B, Six- teenth regiment, came second with @ score of 556, and Corporal Swemhart, company D, Twenty-second, third with 516 po Among the contestants for places on the army ri Sergeant I%. Rosdj.company A, Eignicenth, scored 136, making*his avérago for the day 125, and his total for the four days but eight points less than the highest scoro over mado with a rifle, which was 507 and made by Lieutenant Rumsey, at Fort Bayard last vear. The run that elicited by far the most sur- prise was Licutenant O'Brien’s score of 136 points, which, together with his scorc of 123 in the forencon, made his uverage for tho day 130, Thursday morning O'Brien ranged thirty-first among " the rifle team mea.

Some two months ago the council decided to advertise for bids for furmishing the new city hall with farniture. Bids were pub. lished in due form and o short timo ther after agents for tho Ketcham niture company of ‘Tolodo, O., the Audrews Furniture company Chics appearcd upon the scenc. These gentlemen were “hail fellows, woll met,” and soon made fricnds by the scoro. They established themselves at tho best ho- tels in the city, and in their rooms ente tamed like kings. Champague was constant ly on tap and cigars wero froe as tho health giving winds the Nebraska praivies. Tho rooms wore visited by some of tho members of the council, who made theso places their favorite resorts, tn fact, there s o strife between the men to seo which would show the city fathers the greatesc courtesies. All went well for a time and tho bids were submitteed in sealed cover: Why all This Was Thus, night at a regular ing the pronosals wero opened for the inspection of the council. They vrere not intelligible, aad conscquently were rejected and the clork instructed to ro- advertise. The gentlemen were not discour- aged on account of the delay, They proposed 10 do u little & while the sun was shin- ing, so they sent home for thew winter clothing and settled down for an all wintor's siege. Aggain the bids were opened but there wero other competitors in the field. The Dewey & Stone Furniture company and Cady & Gray entered the arcua, and as Omaha nan- ufacturers asked for the contract. Ali of the bids went to the committee a pub- lic property and buildings, and for threo weeks that commntteo has worked night and day to get them in shape to pre- sent to the council for consideration That the members of this committee have revelled and resisted tho tempters goes with- out saying, but it is doubtful if somo other members can say as much if_they would teil the the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth! Itis common street talic that in this ter councilmen have been bought na like eattle, and things have occurted lend color to these reports. “Merely Approached.” Not many moons ago while_in the council chamber Mossrs. Chaffee, Davis and four other councitmen were apf roached by a wan who acted for an outside furniture compan Ho iuformed the gentlemon that ho could ~ make it object for them to vote for the award to his house. He was asked if there was anything in 1t and avonce volunteered the information that there was Mr. Davis and it and as soon to order have been accor as of One meet- mat- sold that an consulted with his ided to take the tellow’s money as tue council was ealled bring tho matter bofore the body and there and then denounce the fellow aud biv methods. ‘Phe plan did not work, as the main failed to appenr, and since that time has not talked with any of the gontlemen with whom he first held his convorsation. Possibly he toc a new tack and possibly he did not, but ono thing is certain, that a few days lator two councilmen visited Council Bluff where they made a protracted sta When they departed for the lowu town they wore pronounced Ketcham Furniture com- pany men, but upon their return their voices were tuned in another key, and since that time huve shouted long and loud for the An- drews company. Tho chauge of heart might have no partic- ular bearing upon the caso were there not other facts of & most interesting naturo con- neeted with the case. Its itar'l Was On Tap. It has been an open sceret that a cortain outside furnitur on deposit the sum of 4500 in one of the Council Bluffs banks. 1t has also been a boast, that the monoy was for the purpose of controlling the vot of niue councilmen when the bid of tnis company weut before the council for approval or rejection. Tesides the disbursig agency at’ Council Bluffs, there have boen other things that have lappencd nearer at home. Councilmen have partaken ol rich diouers and wine suppers at sowe of the fashionable (7) restan- rants in the city, and it has been openly charged that cutside bidders on furniture have footed the bills on the following da, Our agent of & certain furniture compan in a couversation stated that if ho had to 1« main in Omaha much longer nis house would have to wortguze the home vlant in order to liquidate the bills. It is a well known fact that the bids submitted by the two foreign nouses are between $0,000 and $5),000 for furnishing the building, while that mitted by the Dewey & Stone compiny Mr, Coots was originally only #53,000. Kisrstead of the Dewey & Stono’ comvany was informed that his plans provided for enough furmture for furnishing two such buildings. He at once scaled down his bids, and when through, they showed that the entire furnishing would not cost b exceed $21,000. Of this amount $16,000 would furnish all of the stationury furnituro, such as counters, railings, stand- ing desks, cte. The bid for the movable furniture ‘was scaled down to £,000 and then it provided for an abundance of o\er: thin, Ihis bid i3 now in the hands of the committee, Anxic colleagues for many days company had sub and M. 1s to See Foreign Samples. In the matter of investigating the merits of the goods of the respective bidders thero is souncthing that has a somewhat obscuro ap- pearance, Councilmen nave fought tike wild boasts to have an opportunity of viewiug the furniture and fixtures exhibited by the two foreign nouses, whilo none of them have visited the Dewey & Stone establishment where sample furniture has awaited ofticial inspection, or Coots' mill, where tho station furnitire will be pat up, providing tue Oinaha houses sccure the contract, Some of the members completely I ight of theim- vortance of patvonizing home industry aud laugh at the idea that Omuhu men ean nandlo an Omaha contract of this size.
