HAVING A GOOD TIME ANYWAY Oouncilmen Enjoy Themselves While In- speoting famples of Oty Hall Furniture, VISITING THE VARIOUS EXHIBITION ROOMS. How a Day Was Spent by the Com- mittee of the Whole Sampling Furniture, Liquors and Cigars. If there is & man on carth who can tell just how the cat is going to jump in the matter of the city hall furniture contract, that man is 8 prophet or the son of a prophet. One thing, however, is an assured fact, and that is that the Connant Brothers Furniture company is not in it for a smell—not even for a chair to stand in the lobby of tho new building ‘I'ho city council was billed to meet in com- mittee of thoe whole at the city clerk’s office at 0 o'clock yesterday morning. Half au hour after the time set for the meeting the council- men began to drop in singly and by pairs, At last all of them except Messrs, Chaffee and Madsen unswered to roli call. Then the six- teen law makers marched down tho hill to the Dowey & Stone establishment on lower Farnam street. Thoy went up to the third floor, elevator, where W.I. Kierstead exy bid and exhibited sumples of the that Fis house proposed to furnish By way of introduction Mr. Kierstead ex- lained that the origioal bids were as botlows: The Andrews company, £35,000; the Ketchium company, £4,000, and the Dewey & Btone company, §25,000, The foreign com- panies had been allowed to scalo down their bids, but hie had not been allowed the same privilege. 1f ho had been, tho combined bid of tho Dewey & Stono company and John k. Coots would have fallen below §21,000 for both stationary ana moveable furniture. No person denied the statement, bat sl of the councilinen looked ar tho' furniture and cracked some very raw jokes about pig-skin seated chairs. Mr. Kierstead explained that his bid wa the cheapest; that his goods were equal to thoso of his competitors, and that ff the contract was awarded to his house, all of tho goods would bo manufactured in Omaha by Omaha mechanics. He also stated that ho proposed to furnish a desk for §i5 that uon-resident houses would duplicate for #75 and §105. He would furnish a bond that he would refurnish the building if auy articlo proved defective after one year's wear. Mr. Coots who proposed to furnish the stationary furniture, was allowea to explain his plans and specifications. He would man- ufacture each and every article in Omaba, ard each articlo could ‘bo inspected beore being accepted, During the time four or fivo councilmen were paying attontion to the explanations, while most of them were roam- ing about tho salesrooms gazing at the fur- niture and trying casy chairs, One Man Who Quit. The next stop was made ot tho Paxton hotel, where Charles M. Finch, agent for the Counant Bros. Furniture company of Toledo, 0., had his goods on exhibition. Thostop at tho Paxton was not a lengthy one. Mr. Finch plainlv and emphatically told the courcilmen that ho was not a competitor. He had putin A bid, but he considered himself lucky to get out of the town with a wholo skin. committee had considered his bid, but owing tothe low figuros that he had'submitted, without seeing his sumples, the committeo had refused to consider his proposition, Ho was asked to exhibit his samples, but re- fused for the reason that his bid had been rejected and he was no longer i the fight. Other_companies had heen asked to change their figures and submit new specifications swce the opening of the bid, but he had been ignored. Like one man the sixteen councilmen marched out of the rotunda of the Paxton and wended their way to tho Millard hotel, where they were met by Messrs. Reemer and Weavy of the Andrews Furniture company of Chicago. These gentlemen knowing the wants, desires and inchnations of the Omaha councilmen, invited the members to take a walk. Thoy did not walk a milo beforo they stopped in front of the bar, whero the genial agents invited ' them to look through the bottoms of some glasses av tho pictures on tho walls. A sce- ond invitation was not necessary and a moment lator the liquor disappeared like dow bofore the August sun on a hot da; Thinking that cigars might make the furn ture look better, they were passed over and then each man took another for future use. ‘The committee of the whole then adjourned toaroom on the socond floor where more oigars and the furniture were on exhibition, Tho glib-tongued agent took the floor and explained that all of the articles on exhibi- tion had been taken out of the Chicago house, via the ned his furniture Formally Organized. President Lowry mtimated that there was too much tallc on the side and suggosted the election of a_chaivman, Scveral members opined that Mr. Lowry was right and Mr. echel was olected to the honoravle position. After he bad been given the chair, a rich upholstered concern, Mr. Osthoff told the two agents to explain what they had. Mr. Weary stripped his coat” and started the ball to rolling. He used tho bids of tho other companies for a foot ball and oxplained that the Andrews’ furniture was the the world. About everything had been on at Chicago prices and if changes wero de- sived 1n tho plans it would be nccessary to add only 5 per cent to tho prices submiited. He hoped the mayor's oftice would bo furnished in_mahoz- any and the furnishings of tue council cham- ber would look better in that kind of wood, Ho told the councilmen that thev could go to tho furniture storo and buy goods that would look as wellas his but they would not stand the test. People conld not take pictures for reputation, 'ho agont waxed warm and branched off tho original subject. ~He told the councilman that he did not_caro what the newspapers said, s is house had been 1n the business for years, Lo or three councilmen looked as though they wanted to go, but Mr. McLearie alliyed their fears by teliing them that he was in favor of taking & rope aud hanging thoe newsnaper men, Thero was moro talk about furniture, after which Agent Reemer invited all of the councilmen to dine with him. They pleaded other engagements, or told him_that thoy dined at home, Then he suggested that they might waut to liquor up. Acting upon this suggestion, tho city fathers adjourned to ths bar room, whero a couplo of times they looked at tho fliés on the ceiling. Duriug theafternoon the councilmen looked at samplo furniture, exhibitad by tho Ketchum Furnitura company of Toledo, O., in room 800 of the New York life building. While on their tour of investigation the members of the committee met a prominent citlzon who promised them ho would urge blacklisting the members of the council who voted agawnst home industry in awarding the contract for the city hall furniture, Its Matinee Performance. Tho city council beld its matinee in room 800 of the New York Life buildirg. That was tho room whero Mr. Hayker, westorn munager of the Ketcham Furniture'company of Toledo, O., bad his samples of proposed city hall furniture on exhibition, Two o'clock was tho hour set for the moote but some of the councilmen wero late in arriviog. When the last man was shot up the elovator snaft President Lowry and Mr, Osthoff were found eujoying n gamo of checkers to see which should decide to make theTace for the mayorality upon the demo- cratio ticket. Tho arrival of the crowd put & stop tothe gameand it was declared a draw, The whole souled agent of the foroign house passed around the cigars and then un- limbered his tongue. He started by saying that unlike his competitors his furniture had not been put up for show. It was sumples of goods that had been intended for tho court houso ut Red Oak, Ia, The car all by hand and in quality and finish the fur- niture could not be excelied by any house in the land. It was not manufactured in Omaha by Omaha workmen, but would last 100 years, Some councilman suggested shat it was dry. The acent did not have to be kicked down stairs to see the poiut. He realized that tho man had no reference to his furniture. The serzeant-at-arms of the council was rosent and being a handy mau was pressed [nto tho service. ~ Vith a corkscrew 1n hand 0 Was 300u busy aud the popping of corks was heard and a moment latar beer was passed around and then more cigars Mr. McLearie opined that the roporter should be invited to leave the room, “Not for 800, protested Mr. Osthoff. After the Trrigation. Clanrs wero handed around once mora and then the agent got down to business. He ex- plained his furniture and room fixtures tothe satisfaction of some of the members, while Mr. Elsasser cracked anothor stale joko about pig skin for chairs. Difteront councilmen tited different stuffed chairs and remaried, one to auother, “This is about my size.”” For two hours the talk went on and then some very pleasant sound- ing testimonials wero read in behalf of Ketcham furniture, It was suggostod that might want to wet up. The sergeant-at- arms of the council was equal to the emer- gency, and drow several bottles of beer from their hiding place. It was then that he per formed a mean_trick. While no person was watching ho filled the glasses partly full of beer and then filled them with whisky. Just as ho had about completed the dastardly work some member caught bim in_the act of making_the vile deeaction of half-and-half and refused to drink. The dificulty was smoothed over and then the agent stated that mahogony would cost from 16 to 20 per cent more than onk for the mayor's office, The detailed drawings were inspected, while the cigars were once moro passed around the room, after which Mr. Morearity moved that the contract be awarded then and there but to whom ho would not say. There was a protest raised by Messrs, Bechel and Davis agamst such unseemly haste upon the part of Mr. Mor , and the committee adjourned to meet in the clerk's ofice av 10 o'clock this morniug. somo councilman i iy Stand Your Ground, When you make up your mind to take Hood’sSarsaparilla, do not be induced to buy some other preparation instead, Clerks may claim that “ours is as good as Hood's” and all that, but tho pecuiiar merit of Hood's Sar saparilla cannot be equalled. Therefore have nothingto do with substitutes and insist upon having Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the best blocd puritier and building up medicine. PARTNERSHIP WITH KEELEY Judge Helsley Does Missfonary Work Among His Bibulous Guests. Judge Helsley is doing a little quiet work on the side for the Kecloy instituto at Blair. Yestorday whon Pat Carney appeared be- fore him in dusty raiment and the vivid recollection of a Saturday night jag, aud while admitting that he had taken on “‘a bit of aload,” but that ho was a law abiding cit- izon and the owner of some Omaha reaity,the court discharged him with the admonition to go outto Biawr and seo that his next load was of the celobrated bi-chloride of gold. Another individuai who is saaly in need of liquid Keeleyism, but who was overlooked by the judge, was Victor Lindholm, the one- legged tailor. Victor appears in police court on an averago of three times in two months, and the judge religiously divides it up be- tween fines, jail seutences and discharges. Yesterdayt Sergeant Sigwart suid that Victor had no dirt on his back when arrested, which in his case was prima facio evidence that he had on only an ordinary consignment and he was told to go. Jim Carr, a colored vag who had failed to avail himself of an opportunity to go out of the city, had his suspended sentence dropped ou him and went up for thirty days. e Cure for the Drink Habit.

Western Traffic Assooiation ~Absorbing Many Lesser Organisations. ATCHISON AFTER OMAHA CONNECTIONS, Traffic Arrangements With the Chi- cago, F't. Madison & Des Moines With a View of Reaching Nebraska, Cricaao, TI1., Sept. 14.—It is becoming ap- parent to the observers of railroad affairs that the Western Trafiic assoclation is quietly working to extend its power and influence by taking away from some of the smaller associations their strength. Notonly has the Western Passenger associntion been affected by this movement, but the Western Froight association has also been deprived of much of its importance and individuality by the gradual encroachments into its delibera- tions of tho rules and regulations gov- ernivg the presidents' organization, and the practical nullification of all rules conflicting therewith, This has been com- batted by tho lines not members of tho Western Traflic association, but their oppo- sition seems to have had little effect. Not the least siguificaut circumstance as showing the drift of offairs is the fact that tho Western reight association has decided to hold its meetings bi-monthly instead of monthly, There has been some talk of holding these meetings quarterly, and 1t is probable that the question of making such a change will bo discussed before the end of the year. Another circumstanco is the absence of Chairman Midgley from the last two meet- iogs which wero presided over by his chief clerk and still another 1s that the Septembor ng was for the most part atteuded by stant general freight agents instond of Ly the higher traftic officials who have hereto- <on part in tho proceedings. Railroad are not in the sccret of the move- ment ning to realizo that the Westorn Freight association Is_sinking into innocuous desuetude, and not without design on the part. of those' people who are ch interested in_ tho success of the presidont’s agreoment, Much of the business formerly disposed of by tho association is now pe formed by the board of commissioners of tho Western ‘Traflic_association finding its way 1o them_through appeals by companies that aro members of both organizations. A meeting of the special committeo to pre- pard a new agreement for the Western Pas- senger association, to bo put into conformity with that of the Western Traffic association, will bo held tomorrow. The committee con- sists of Passenger Trafic Manager White of the Atchison, General Passenger Agent “Thrall of the Northwestern, Gencral Passen- gor Agent Eustis of the Burlington and Com- missioners Walker, Finley and Vining. But tho Western Passénger association has but ono member that is not already in the Presi- donts’ association, and it will no doubt bo & much more difficult task to whip into line the several outsiders than the Western Freight association. ATCHISON'S OMAHA CONNECTIONS, Some of the local gossips are trying to make a sensation out of a traflic arrangement en- tored into by the Atcbison, Topeka & Santa Ko with a little spur of a road called tho Chi- cago, Fort Madison & Des Moines on the ground that it will eventually give the Atch- ison an independent line to Omaha, At pres- ent the Chicago, Fort Madison & Des Moines road runs from Fort Madison northwestward toward Liberty, 1L, and_it is claimed that a syndicate of Chicago, Boston and London capitalists have purchased the line with a view of extending it to Des Moines and thence to Omaha, EAST-BOUND SHIPMENTS. Enst-bound skipments of freight by all lines east last week amounted to (0,191 tons, agaiost 55,950 for the week nluHflui an in- creaso of 5,241 tons, and against 72,520 for tho same poriod last’ year, a_docreaso of 12 ) tons. The shipmi ents by lnke amounted 133,049 tons, an increaso over the preceding week of 31,552 tons. The shipments of flour, grain and provision from Chicago to the soa- board by tho lines in tho Central Trafiic association aggregated 25,573 tons, against 246 for the weel previous, an increaso of 373 tons, and against 34,357 for the corre- sponding weck of 1500, a decreass of 7,780 tons. The Vanderbilt' lines carried 61 'per cont of the traflic, the Penusylvania lines 19 per cent, the Chicago & Grand Trunk-11 per cent, and the Baltimore & Ohio 9 per cont. close Tho fact that the price of wheat is 4 to 6 cents highor in St. Louis than in the Chicago market, is_causing considerablo uncasiness among the traflic officials of the Clicago roads. Asa natural consequence of such a stote of affairs, the wheat from Kansas and Nebraska is mostly gong east by way of St. Louis, some of it being shippad by river to New Orleans for export. WORK FOR THE BIG SIX, The commissioners of tho Western Traflic association will meet September 22 to cou- sider, among other matters, a proposition to advance the rate on salt 2 cents per 100 pounds in barrels und + cents per 100 pounds in bulk from the salt districts to Nobraska poiuts. The Burlington applies for authority 10 make the same rate on salt from Chicago to Nebraska City, Omaha and Lincoln that is made from Hutchinson, IKan. The commis- sioners will also consider a proposition to transfer from tho \Western Ireight associa- tion to the Western Trafiic association juris- diction over certain trafiic from Coloradoa nd Utah points, Conflict of Authority. Tex., Sept. 14.—In an application tions, filed in Judge Burke's court by Sheriff Lowis and James Maroney, the court ordered these partics to hold on to the Texas Trunk railroad and not to turn it over to Receiver Dillingham, as ordered Saturday by United Statos_Judge McCormick; also to apply for Judge McCormick to dismiss Dil- lingham.

In the early gasherings thore was a divi- sion of sontimens Some of the delegates favored only ansentertainment in tho oven- ing in which all the German singing socio- ties of the ety should take part, and in_ which am address would be delivered by a distinguished speakor from abroad, Others wished to havo also” a parade dur- ing the day, The programme now comprises both theso fentures. The parade will take place iu the morning, movingat 10 o'clock sharp. It will move through the principal streets of the city and will be the first oneof tho kind which has over taken place 1n this city, It will be illustrativo ~of the colonization jn this country of Germans in 1634, when a small number of thrifty and skillful weavers settled in Germantown, now o suburb of Philadelphia, 1t will also'show tho progress made by the Germans in all b hes of business, as also in the arts and sciences. There will be life-like ropresenta- tives of General Steuben, Baron DeKalb, Mublenberg, tho first speaker of the national house of ropresentatives, and other states- men and patriots who have been identified with the history of this country. There will be one float ~especially devoted to the weavers, another to the vessel in which they sailed to theso shores. The former will be designed and decorated at the exponse of Mr. Fred Krag., A number of other symbolical designs are 1u contempla- tion and the wealthy German citizeus havo volunteored to bear tho expense of preparing them, “There will be a detachment of Hessians in uniform, represented by the Landwebr- verein, emblematic of the German soldirrs who, subsequently to their importation acted as the body guard of Washington. ‘Tho committée on decoration consists of Messrs, Hauck, Lehman, Penner and Brandt, and the consen’ of theso gentlomen must bo sccured before a float of any kind will bo permitted in line. No advertising wagons will be allowed. The decoration will be artistic the desiro being to make tho parade one that will redound to the credit of tho people in whose honor it is undertaken. In the evening there will be a grand con- cert in which all the German singing socie- ties will take part. The committee has also decided to invite Mr. E. Rosewater. who is still in Burope, to deliver the oration. RS T Manufacturers Will Meet.
