Overjoyed at Approaching Emancipation Counoilman Play Horse, INDEPENDENT ~ CONTRACTOR SQUIRES, He Ignores the City Altog ther in His Street Sweeping Arrangements ~Not Afraid of the Water Works Company. The illustrious city council of 1391 dies hard, but it has held its last regular session and has practically goue out ot business, Fiftoen members attended the session last night and most of the time was devoted to playing horse. The members threw paper wads at the president and cut up capfs usually indulged by scloolboys. They concluded to told a special session Saturday night, at which they will close up the business now on hand. Next Tuesday night they will meet, listen to the reading of the journal, and then turn everything over to the new council which will continue to do business at the same old stana. In a communication Mayor Cushing served notice that he had received and approved the bonds of the nine counciimen-elect. The document was placed on file. Major Birkhauser, chairman of the Board of Public Works, stated that (. E. Squires, the street sweeping contractor, had discon- tinued street sweeping on November 163 that ho had done so without any instruc.ions from the board. Mr. Davis thought that the time had come heu contractors should no longer run the . Chaffeo said tho Squires contract was a good one for the city, He was sure that Squires would be glad to have the contract canceled, as ho was not making any money out of the work. Ou motion of Mr. Davis tho following spe- cal committee was appointed to secure legal advice und invoestigato tho whole matter: Messrs. Davis, Burdish and Elsasser. Mr. Chaffee was of the opinion that the council should order the streets cleaned and collect tho expense from Suuiros’ bond. Chairman_Birkhausor then stated that Contractor Squires was given a schedulo, showing how, when and what streots were to bo swept. Hedid sweep until it suited his conveuionco to discontinue tho work. “Then the work stopped and_since Noyomber lie iad paid no attention to the terms of the contract with the city. Bids for Various Supplies. The comptrolle: was instructed to readver- tise for bids for blauks and books to be used by the next council. Messrs. Davis and Elsassor said the mat- ter shoutd be left to the new council, as the new city officials would now what they wanted. This proposition was opposed by Mr. Moreurty, who said that he, as a member of the old council, wanted to go on_rocord as holping to let the contract. The former council transacted all of its business and let its contracts. He wanted to do the same vy tho new couneil. There was a lot of wrangling over who was the lowest bidder for furnishing horse foed for the city. There were two bidders, James Stephouson and W. W. Mace. Stephenson was finally awarded the contract. Mr. Morearty said that 1t was a shame—a damnable shame. Stephenson, ho said, was not the lowest bidder, and he' would enjoin the mayor from approving the bond. “Do 0, remarked Mr. Elsasser, “if you want to. ' You have an idea that these injunc- tions aro catching.” The bids for placing 700 strect, lamps 1n tho saburban_districts wero as follows: The Metropolitan Street_ Lighting company bid $16 on sixtoen and $17 ou eighteen candle nower gasoline lamps. The Sun Vapor Streot Lighting company bid $18.75 each on xteen candle power gusoline lamps. Tho Tuomson-Houston Electric_ Light company bid as follows: The sum of &1 each on 250 arc lights of 1,200 candle power ench nom- inal per annum, Mr. Morearty wanted the bids referred to the committee on gas and electric lights. Mr. Davis remarked that it might be difi- cult to find the chairman, Mr. Madsen, as_he was seldom present when wanted. The bids should be reforred to tho special committee, cousisting of Messrs. Donuelly, Burdish and Davis. “The bids were roferred to_the special com- mittee with instructions to report to the council noxt Saturday night. By rosolution tho Board of Public Works was Instructed to notify the Union Pacific railroad to construct s stairway at its cross- ing over South Twentieth street. By rosolution all of the paved sireets in the city were ordered cleaned, but nothing was said rogarding the matter’ of payment, nor when the work should be commenced. A resolution to relocato the electric light at Nineteenth and Douglas was roferred to the Fourth ward delegation. The request asking that Omaha make an ezhibit at the World's fair was placed on fils. The bonds of the banks agreeing to take and caro for the city funds were presented and referred fo the city attorney, to be re- vorted upon uext Saturday night. Tho layiug of permancat sidewalks was ordered discontinued uutil next season, the council deciding thut tho season was too far advanced for doing good work Gver Hydrant Rental. The bill of the American Water Works company, amounting to 7,100, for hydrant rental from July 1 to December 31, 1501, was presented. Mr. Elsasser of the committe on fire and water roportod against allowing the bill. The clairman stated that the bill was uot duo and that in many instances the company bad failed to_comply with the terms of 1ts contract with the city. Tho company, tho committee reported, was the greatest' ob- structionist in Omaha. It had refused to {ay its mains on North Twentieth streot, thus delaying tho laying of pavement for more than eighteen months, It had refused to allow the city to tap its mains. It had succeaded in securing: the setting of 1,200 hydrants, many of which were useless, Mr. Poppleton was called for. He said the compuny had delayed work and had rein- corporated in order to get into the federal court. He said the company’s property was in the hands of tbe shoriff and ho bad some doubts about the company having a right to receive the money. Mr. Poppleton thought that the water works cumpany proposed to dictate to the city, ana such being the case, he favored taking the bull by the horns for the purposo of learning whether or not the city had any rights under the contract, ‘T'he bill was referred to the city attorney for an opinion as to who should receive the money. About Circulatior The_committes on printing reporied that Tur Monxixe Bre had s circulation of more than 2,000 within the city of Omaha; thax the publisher of the World-Herald had said that he would furnish amidavits show. ing that Tue MouxiNa Bre did not have a circulation of 2,000 within the city. He had made the statement, but had fmled 1o make tho proof. Early in theevening Mr. Burkley of the World-Herald had shd fnto the room aud placed upon the desk of each councilman statement showing the circulation of the World-Herald. The clerk was instructed to vead oue of these documents, but had not procecded far when Mr. Chaffee suggested that life was too short. “You can got the story oditod by the eirculation har each day in the year if you want it,” said he, That concluded the discussion and the ad- vertising contract was passed ovor to be dis- posad of by the new couneil. Au ordinance granting the Northwostern Light and Power company a franohise was read a tirst and second timo. The ordiuance to locate twenty-six new fire hydrants was passed by & vota of 1l to4 President Lowry suid the mayor would veto the ordinance as there was no mouney for the payment and It would create an overlap.

Work of boring or drilling for oil has again been commenced on the artesian well near Seymour .park. About eight mouths ago work was susbended, but a few days ngo oil was again discovered, forming a scum over Papio cresk. Tho drillers are now working on Trenton rock, and as soon as they can maunage the strong pressure of the water they believe the oil can be pumped out. Mr. Joht T.Cathors, who is & member of tho company, said yesterday that work would never have boon suspended and that oil would have been found before now had 1t uot been for the doplorable management of former movers 1o the enterprise who would not allow the workers of the well supplics. The casing placed in by the first. drillers was thin and soon burst under the immense pres- sure of the water. Mr. Cathers stated that wken the casing burst, oil could be dipped off the water. With 'proper casing the wator would have been shut oft and oil could have boen pumped without any difficulty, as the pressure of water would not ' have driven tho oil back. Mr. Cathers thinks that the well Is stronger than the famous one in Thorn creek, Butler county, Pa., and ho is very sanguino on indications as 10 what the well wili produce.

Breckenridge objected and startod to trate the ca: “Supposo that losing Mr, tllus, u iad a valuable horse tho attor aadressing the judge, “which vou wern koeping at_great oxpenso, and some man should shoot that hovse some night 'hat is not & supposable case,” intor- rupted tho judge, and the attornoy’s illustra- tion was complotoly statterod by the laugh- ter that followed. Major Wilcox said hu lost between §50,000 and &55,000 while he ran the paper. He paid £10,000 cash, and a noto for §,500, and put in the old Dispatch plant valued at £10,000, mak- ing about 0,000 in all, for the entire Repub- licun plant, when he purchasod it from Nye & Johnson. Attornevs for the Pross association pro- duced a bundie of dodger issues in Decomber, 1800, and called The Omaha Republican. Major Wilcox said that theso were tho sneets he issuod at the time he intended to rovive the Republican. . These dodgers wero about size aud contained four pages. he intended to enlarge tho con be could gt the ne In rediraot examination Wilcox said he paid the debts of the corporation with his own privato funds aud ho intended to supply tho corporation with funds to continue the pudlication of the papar in case he could have gotten the telegraphic service.

Wileex, as prosident’ of the alloged corporation could b separated in_ the trans- action appearad to be very indistinet. Most of the time the witness said, “I intended to do” thus and so, not mentioning the fact that any other membors of the corporation fizured in tho business atall. His attorney would occasionally call his attention to the alloged company of which he was president and then the witness woutd tell about what *the cor- poration” nad intended to do, During the discussion of & pomt in tho cross-oxamination Judge Dundy gave it ns his opinion that the question of damage to the proprietor of the Republican or auy pa per resulting from a canceliation of the telo- graphic franchiso deponded largely upon whether that paper was a money making or a money sinking institution. ~ Ho thought that it could not bo a very great loss to a man 10 bo doprived of & business euterpriso in which he was smking money every day, but if he wero making money out of @ particular enterprise it cortainly would be a loss for him to be de- prived of that enterprise. Mr. W. W. Umstead, locai manager for the Westorn Union Telegraph company, was od to tho witness stand, His evidence pertained simply to his duties in collecting the chargos for the telographic servico fur- nished the newspapers by the Associated press through the Western Union Telegraph company. In the aftornoon M. C. E. Yost was callod to the witness stand, His testimony was confined mostly to business transactions be- tween the Press association and tho Repub- ears before Wilcox owned it. Will Miliard was also a witness, He testified as to the correspondencs that took place between the Omaha National bank and Mr. D. N. Richardson, president of the Northwestoru Associated Pross. soon_ after the Ropublican suspended. He said tho bank had lonned money to Witcox and had taken & chattel mortgago upon the newspaper plaut, franchise and all, as security. Thoy telegranhea Mr. Richardson on July 31, the next day after tho paper failed to appear, asking what effect a temporary suspension would have upon the franchise. Ho identi- fied a reply from Mr. Richardson, offered in ovidence, o the offect that a temporary sus- pension would not affect the frauchise if the dues wero promptly paid. Subsoquent cor- respondence showed, however, that Mr. Richardson meant by a temporary suspen- sion a matter of a fow daysor & woek. Mr. Millard said the banle paid the tolegraphio dues for the Republican for a time, iter Fined. mma Hike of Table Rock was bronght to Omaba by a deputy Uvited States marshal upon a charge of cir- culating countorfeit money.
