The Second ward now em- braces all the territory north of Broadway botween First street and the river, and is by far tho largest in the city, as well as one of the most populous. Ivery election, it is clnimed, hias shown the advisability of cut- ting it n nalf, so as to make voting more convenient, und to prevent the counting of the ballots from taking up so much time, An ordinance Is now being drawn up providing for the inerease in the number of the wards, and if the change is made there will be & cor- responding imcrease in the size of the city council next spring. —— HE _CROWD TO C.

SOME VERY UNCOMPL'M:NTARY RUMOR®, nongh to Know Jut Her Uncle Could Nothing with Her. £he Was Qi Better, n Some excitement has been cansed by the disanpearance of Miss Titla Blaxsim, a nioce of George Blaxeim, who has lived with him for the past seventeen years, She left bome inst Monday, saying she would be gone only & short time, but night came and she did not roturn. Her friends anxiously began search for her. and the search has gone on cver since, but although traces bave been found of her which lead them to believe that sho is still in the city, her exact whereabouts cannot be learned. The young lady in question is 22 vears of age, and was adopted by Mr. Blaxsim when she' was 5 years old, her parents dying in Davenport at that time, She hus lived here ever since, put her fickie disposition and her incivation to wande- away from home bave led her into difficulties before, About six months ago it is claimed that she went to South Omaha in company with Charles Con- loy, an ex-member of the fire departmont, with whom she had associated somewhat, and Mr. Biaxsim was compelled to put in considerablo time finding her and inducing her to return with him, Conley has a wife with whom ho has had somo trouble, and 1t is claimed he promised Miss Blaxsim that he would get a divorce from his wife and marry her. Mr. Blaxsim thinks it is Conley who has entived his nieco away from bome, aithough Conley denies it. Tlie two had some words Wed- nesday night which came near ending seriously. A niehit or two after the girl's departure, Mr. Blaxsim made a searcn for her at a house on Mill street, which ho had been in- formed was a rendevouz for her ana her lover. The house does not bear a very good veputation with the police, and Me. Blaxsim was accompanied by an ofticer when he visited it. When the officer rapped at the back door a commotion was heard inside, and an instant later o half dressed man rushed almost into the arms of Mr. Blaxsim, who stood at the tront door. Ho immediately rushed in again, however, and when the ofti- cer raided the house the couple, if they had been there at all, had disappeared. Since then no effort has been made to find he Mr. Blaxsim states that he has no further use for his nieee. “She has had all the ad- vantages any girl could want,” he said yes- terday, ‘‘and inow she turns out to be un- worthy of them. Sho shall never enter my house again. I should like to have her send someone, however, to get her clothing, which sho left at the house when she took hor de parture.’” THE BOSTON STORE's BOOKX LIST.

The experience of Tue Bre Cruws Bureau has brought out the fact that many of'its subscribers do not understand thut, the Indian depredations act passed by the last congress annulled eIl previous cont s for collecting claims urder it. This isu fact that thoy shouid know for their owa protec- tion. When the act was sigued all contracts with agents were made void by its termd, The holders of claims were then free to maice such bargains with their asents as they pleased, or could refuse to maio any bargain atall. ‘The framers of the act found it necessary totake this step for the protection of the claimants. Atthe time when thore seemed little chance that such an act would be vassed hundreds of claimants haa contracted with agents to pay outrageous feos in case the money could bo collectea. Cases are known i which theclaimants had contracied to giye upto the agents over ono-hulf the amount collected. Cases in which or was promised wero not at all uncommon. allow these contracts to stand would m the law not. an act of justice, but an act of extortion for the benefit of the cluim agents. The clause was inserted annulling all the contracts, good, bad and indifferont, and limting the pércentuge to be charged by agents to 15 per cent, wiih an extra cent allowance for special 0s. The claim agents naturally obiectod to this, asserting that it was boyond the povers of congress, but the best opinion of both houses was that contracts made to collact claims under a law that did not exist could bo anuulled in ths mauner. X On the 4th of March, therefore, the claim ants who had signed contracts were as free from obligations to agents as those who had not. If they were satistied witn theiragents and wished to sign a new contract within the limit of compensation fixed by the law, it was thor right, but none of them were under any legal obligation to doso. The more unscrupulous of the ugents naturally represented to their clicats that they were bound to renew their contracts, with merely the substitution of the torms named by law for the outrageous comwissions ay first de- manded. Cases have been brought to the attention of Tus Bee 1 which this olicy had been followod successlully v unscrapulous agents. They had in a word bullied the claimants into hiring them whon, if the claimants had understood that they wera free of obligation, they would have chosen other representatives, As others are being worked upon in the same way, the fucts of the cuse are set forth for their pro- tection. If they are satisfied with the men they first chose they are right in re-cugaging them. If they are uot satified, they. ave free to eugage anbody they choose. Tue Bee Cratys BUreav was established solely for the protection of the public. It was established on account of the complaints of its subscribers who thought they were being unjustly treated, and those, still more numerous, who applied to it to find a reiiable agent. 1t will collect the claims at’only such charges as will pay the expenses of the tu- reau. It is expected that it will rarely nap- pen that the limit set by the law will be needed to pay the expense of collection, Many of the claims can doubtless be collected for 5 per cont of their face. 'The bureau 15 at the secvice of the subscribers aud publicat large, - Thoso who take advantage of its offer will save mouey by it. Those who do not place their elaims in its charge will save money, too, for it has put u check on the ra- pacity of the agents who would otherwise feel free to take the last penuy the law al- lows. Itis the privilego of a "great new paper to benefit all. — THE INDIAN CLALMS, Tur Ber Buneav o Cranws, in dealing with tbe claims avising undor the Indian depredations act, has begn successful in pro- tecting a large number of subscribers and others irom extortion and loss. l'rom com- plaiuts that have come to it, however, it ap- pears thut many of the claimants do not un- derstand thoir position under the act. At a time when there appeared to be little chunce that congress would take up the claims or make any appropriation to pay them, they signed coutracts with the Washington agents, promising from oune-quarter to one-haif the amount to the agent in case the money should be collected. In view of this extortion con- gress insorted a provision in the act annul- ing all contracts and limiting the agent's commission to 15 or 20 per cent. ‘The claimants all probably understand that the agent's commission has boen limited by the luw, but many of them, according to their own statements, do not understand that they are free to do as thoy please about employing the agent they had first chosen. They con- sider that they are still bound to employ the agent with whom they signed the exorbitaot contracts, whether they are satistied with him or not. 1t was the intention of congress to protect them at all poiuts and they were loft on the passage of the act free to do as they pluased and employ whom they pleasod. Section 4 of the act stated: “That all saies, transfers or assigniaents of any such claims heretofore or hereafter mude, except such as have ocourred in the due administration of decedents’ es tates, aud all contracts heretofore made for feos and allowances to claimants' attorneys are berevy declared vol ‘There could be no mistake about the mean- ing of this, All claimants bad to make new coutracts wilh sgents after the passage of UNDAY, DBEU e —————————————————————— e S . the act, and they were at_liborty to emplov any une they plansed. 1 they were ploased with the zeal and<wets of their first avent thev might make their new contract with him.

It has saved those who have taken advantage of its offer from the unconsclonable charzos of tho regular claim acents, and has benefited the others by forcing the agents to demand only moderate fees in ordur to get business.
