The finance committes reported on tho city hall project aaversely, in accordance with its decision at the moeting of the com- mitteo- of the whole last Saturday, and the report was concurred in without a dissenting vote. Tho fire committeo reported on the MeDonald iuvestigation, recommending that the matter bo indofinitely tabled, and this report was also adopted. The tenth report of the trustees of the public library was submitted asd udopted. The recoipts of the library for the year 1801 were $0,540.4%, and the disbursoments $4,- 483,10, O the latter amount, $2,244.73 was for books, papers and mugazines, §1,000 for rent, and 81,080 for salaries of librarian and assistant. ‘I'ie number of volumes in the library is $10,008, an increasc of 1,150 volumes over 'ast year. A review of the work accomplished during the last ten years was given. Kor the first four years a tax of one balf mill was levied by the city, and in 1885, 1886 and 1887 it was raised to three-fourths of a mill. In 1888 it was increased to one mill. fn 1850 it was increased to one-half mill, but this proved so aisastrous to toe interests of the library that in 1800 the tax of one miil was restored,” I'ho number of books received from the Council Bluffs Liorary association was 2,805, The entire number of volumes, including those of both the circulating and refercuce depart- ments, is 1 5 1n accordarce with a plan recently adopted by the United States government, 307 vol- ulnes of duplicate reports have been returned to the government and ninety-nine uew vol- umes already received 1n exchange, thus ren- dering the libeary of public documents much more complete. The reading room has been increased in size, and the library has now rveached ' the stage where it is reckoned in the first class. The number of books given out during the year just past was greater than in any other year, 'The thauks of the trustecs aro tendered to Con- gressman Thomas Bowman for the daily Congressional Globe and to tho press of the city for supplying the tables with copies of their papers. ‘This report was adopted, and Rev. G. W. Crofts was elected trnstee as his own suc- cessor, and Thomas Fostevin and Finley Burke to succeed Henry Biseman aud Leon- ard Everott. ‘The ordinance was then brought up pro- viaing for changing the mayor’s salary from £1,500 to 81,200, the troasurer’s from 900 to $1,200, and giving the marshal o salary of §1,500' in lieu of all fees. Smith moved to strie out all that portion of the ordinanc referring to the city marshal, sayiug he dido’t believe the city coula deprive the mavshall of bis fees, and tne uew ordinance would simply increase his salary $000. Cas- per favored the ordinance. He thought the present system was all wrone. The marshal now made $4,000 per annum ont of his oftice, and if ho was not honast he could make $10,000 without any troubls, Every time a citizen got drunk and was fined in police court he had to pay the marshal a fee of $2.10. He was in favor of protecting the citi zeus and turning that $2.i0 wto the city treasury. - Wind called upon the city attorney to give his opinion as to the legality of the ordinance upon which Alderman Smith had already stated his. City Attorney Stewart said the ordinance was perfectly sound, as it con- tained theidentical provisions of an ordi- nanco that had been sustained by the supreme court. The motion to omit the taarshal from the list of officials whoso salarios were to be docked were lost. Pace then moved that the mayor's salary be raduced to $%)0 instead of $1,200, but only Pace, Smith and Wind voted aye, and it was declared lost. A motion to pass the ordi- nance without change was aiso fost. Tho ordinance providing for the division of the city into seven wards was brought up, and here a slight scrimmage took place be- tween Alderman Smith and Reading Clerk E. J. Abbott. Smith some way got an iden that Abbott was taking advantage of his position to foist upon the coucil a different ordinance from that which had already beon voted upon, and he charged the reading clerk with trying to deteat the ordinance. “T am a servant of the cify,” replied Abbott, “and I am not trying to play any game on tho council.” “Yes,” said Smith, “and you're serving the city altogether too well tonight. Teund to your business and lot us do the law-mak- ing and we'il got ulong togother a great deal bettor." “1f you had waited long enough to hiear tho reading of the ordinance you wouldn't have had any occasion to make a wrongful accusa- ton against me.” Abbott then turned to the mayor and* de- munded that bo be relieved of the duty of reading any further. The mayor refused to relieve him, and the readiug went on, both parties to tho controversy having coolod down cousiderably. After a long discussion, a motion to vass the ordinance was lost. The Council Blaffs Transit company filed an acceptance of the franchise granted at tho Inst meeting, and an agreement to abide by its provisions, Alderman Swith stated that the paving contract of M. A. Moore was overa year past dua, and on his motion the marshal was instructed to serve notice on Moore’s bonds- men that the work must be completed just as s00n as the weather would permit, Just before the opening of the bids for pav- ing Alderman Wood moved thatail econ- teactors be compeiled to give bonds to pay for all material used in paving, in order to present tho troublo that has arison so many times from unprincipled contractors - skipping out unceremoniously with uupaid bills, It was carricd, and o number of contractors who were present and who had put 1 bids signified their willing- uess to give the requirec bond. The bonds of the various coutractors for the faithful discharge of their obligations were approved, aad tho bias opened aud roferred to the en- gineer for tabulation.

PENSIONS—WHO ARE ENTITLED. Soldiers —All soldiers of the United States who incurred disability of a permanent na- ture, whother wound, injury or aisease. while in the service or line of duty, are entitled to a peusion at rates varying from $ito §72 per montb, according to the uature and severity of thedisability. ADDITIONAL, Soldiers who draw a pension for one or more disabilities, ana are at th same time suffering from other disabilities incurreds n the service and hine of duty, may obtamn ad ditional pension therefor. INCREASE UNDER OLD LAW. Soldiers pensioned at less than &0 per month, and wholly disabled for the perform- ance of manual labor Dby reason of disability on actount of which they are pensioned, are e titied to increase of pension to that amount per month, and if the disabihity is such that they reauire the regular aid and attendance of another per- son, they may obtain pension at the rate oi 472 per month. Any ponsioner under the old law, whose disability has increased since date of the issue of his last pension cersiticate, may ob tain an increase of peusion proportionate to the increase of his disability. ADDITIONAL NEW LAW. Soldiers pensioned at less thau $12 per month for disability ncurred in tho service, who are also suffering from otker disability of any nature, not due to vicious habits, may obtain_adaitional pension under the new aw. This pension commences from the date of flling the clalm and cannot exceed §12 per month. The new law is of special ad- vantage to this class of pensioners, for the reason that if they have a disability other tnan that for which they are pensionad, they may obtain additioual relief from date of fil- ing claim, and 1if, in the future, the disability for which they were originally pensioned underthe old 1aw 1ncreases to such au extent as to_entitle them to more than $I12 per month, they may surreuder their pension under the new law and resume the peneion under the old law at such increasod rate as may be proportionate to the degree of dis- ability at that time. Pensionsrs at less than $12 por month, de- siring increase of pension, will fiud it to their advantago to apply under both the old aad new law, for the reason that any increase up to $12 por month will daté from the day the claim is filed in the pansion burenn, whereas & claim for increase under the old law, will secure increasod pension duty from the date of examination, which, on account of the worlk in the pension buréau being very much delayed,is usually some months after tho date of filing the claim. IN CASE OF NEW LAW PENSION Any invalid pensioner under the now law roceiving iess than $12 per month may obtain au increaso of pension whenever the disabil- ity on account of which he is pensioned in- creases in severity toa material exteut, or he may procure additional pension up to $12 per montn on account of aay new or additional disability which he has incurred since his last medical examination or which is not - cluded in his present pension cortificate, NEW LAW. Any soldier of the United States who sorved ninety days or more in the war of the robellion, and was honorably discuarged, may obtain pension under the new law if now suf foring from any disability of a permanent na ture, not due fo vicious “habits. This pen- sion will commence from date of filing the laim, und the rate of ponsion is from 8 to per month, according to the degree of dis- ability for the performance of manual labor. Title to the pension is salely dependent upon a service of niuety days, an honorable discharge and the present existonce of a disability, physical or mentsl, not due to vicious hubits, which causes a partial inabil- ity to perform manual labor as a means of live- hiood, equal to the degree of disability ve- quired to entitle a_pensioner under the old law to & pension of 8 per month or more. It does not matter what the disability is, if not due to vicious habits, whether wound, injury or disease, nor is tho time and place of the origin or incurrence of the same iu any way material, Title to pension under this law is no way dependent upon the soldier's pecuniary cir- cumstances. The fact that be is able to per- form skilled or professional lavor to such an extent as to enablo him to earn a comfort- able support, or the faot that he has an in- come sufficieat for his support, has no bear- njt upou his title W vension under this law WIDOWS, The widows of soldie ease, wound, or injury 1 States service ure eatitlod to 12 por month, aud #1 additional for each child under the age of 16 years, to dato from the day of the soldier's death, excent in cases where the death occurred prior to March 10, 1886, when | the rato is 8 per month up to said date and $12 per month thereafter. WIDOWS' NEW who died from dis. curred in tho United LAW. The widows of soldiers who served ninety days or more in the late war and wore honor- ably discharged are entitiod to pension undor the new 1aw at the rate of §8 per month, and 2 additional for each child under tho age of 16 yoars; provided, that the widow was mar- ried to the soldior prior to June 27, 1509, and s now dependent in whole or in part ou ner | own labor for hor support. ‘This pension commences from the date of filing the application therefor, aud is payabie DAILY BEE: WI DV DAY, whethor the soldlor's death s ¢ ansed by disease or injury incurred in the United States serviee or not, 4 Widows may obtain ponsigf Gnder the new law pending the sottlement'™f thole claims to.pension under the old latv Without losing any rights which accrue tothem under the oid law. f a widow recoives a peribfon under the new law, and afterwards ‘ektablishos her right to a pension under the'old law, she will receive pension for the who e period from tho date of the soldier's desth, less the pan sion which has been paid toher in the mean- time undor the new Iaw; in 6ther words, she wilt recolve an zaditional $4 per month for the whole of the period duving which she drew pension under the newlmw, and in addi- tion thereto, pension from the dato the sol- dier died to the date of the commencemont of the new law pension. Whenever asoldier or sailor of the late war dies from causes originating in the serv- ice and line of duty, leaviog no widow, his children un ler sixteen years of age aro on- titled to ail the ponsion o which the widow would have been entitlod were she living, upto thy date the younxest becomes 16 years of age. In caseof theremarrago of a sol- dier's widow the pension which sne has baea drawing or to which she would otherwise be entitied, is payable to tho childron under 16 years of age at the date of her remarriago and continues until the younzest child roachos the age of 16 years. Children have the same rights under the new law, no matter what the cause of the soldier’s death, provided they have not sufi- cient income from sources other than their own labor for their comfortablo support, ex- cept that the pinsion does not commence until the date of filing a claim therefor. PARENTS, The parents of soldiers who diel inthe Aervice or afterward from disease or injury, orany cause originating in the servico and line of auty, may obtain ponsion at the rate of 813 por month. Provided, that 801~ dier left no widow or child surviving him, and that the parent is now wholly c= v part dependent upon his or ner own la bor for sup- port. The remarriage of the soldier’s mother does not bar nor from pension under thanew law, it her husband 18 for any reason una bl togsupport her comfortably. Cho fact that the soldier or did notdid contribute to the support of his parents dur- ing his lifotime, and the fact that the parents were or were not depondont mupon the soldier at the time of ms aeatn, has no voar- ing upon their title to pension under the new law.

Best little Cure constipation every lowners Take a Hack at “Teddy' Roose- velt's Little Commission, Half a hundred members of the Sundown club assembled last nmight in the Paxton hotel cafe and, after their usual banquet, discussed “Civil Service Reform.” Tha sub- ject was introduced by W. S. Curtis, who took the afiirmative side of tho argumont, while C. H. Marpie had the iegative. Mr. Curtis explained the reform aad its wauguration & few years.ago. Heo said the question of regulating the system had be- come a burning one, as a majority of the offices now to be filled were nonpolitical, On account of the increasing growth of the country aud the increasing exteat of the federai fanctions many evils had sprung up and by civil service raform it was meant to do away with those evils. By tha reform the miserable practices of assessing ‘clerks and subordinates to help defray the exponses of political campaigns had, toa certain dcgree, been done awuy with, ‘he reform had cometo stay. Its progress had been steady. Appoltments were now made by an examining board with- out reference to politics, and by this_cxam- mation the *Third \ward heeler’ was kuocked out as he could not stand it. Com- petent men were given places in his stead, The speaker then at length gave a detailed account of the reform and system of exam- ination which was more of &~ matter of fact | than of argument. His side of the topic was received with much approbation. Mr. Marple said he thought the reform contemplated a change for the better. Such a change was desirablo by the people, but that change must be practicablo. Ho be- lieved the reform had been begun at the wrong oud. It should commence with the big politicians and offico_holders and not with the letter carrier. It was useless to argue against political parties. Tho country had to have them or thera would bouo country. Tnstead of the civil sorvico examning board, Mr. Marple thought that thore should bo a defining responsibiiity and overything should be contralized, and the head of every bureau or depart- ment responsible to his chief. In this way ofice holdors would appoint competent, capable clorks and assistants— men whomn they could depend upon to do their work if the head of & department were responsible for the workings of his oftice. His subordinates would be required to do their work undor his supervision. The Civil Servico Examining board, he Lield, was a farce, composed of pedagogues and impracticables, who scarcely ever knew what they were exananing applicants for. To a certain extent Mr. Marple said ho bo- tieved in civil service reform, but the way ha believed in 1t was first roforming the reform, Ho favored apportioning the appowmtive oftices as to the electoral votes, and then both political parties would be given a chance. He thought a president should serve only one term, and that should gratify any living man who aspired to the presiden- tal chair. A one term president would do his work ana not be scheming and planning for u reuomination. @An informal discussion was then had, General John B, Hawley said ho didn’t agree with either of the speakors, but was not in favor of the present civil service roform. Ho thought appoiutees should not be allowod to | remain in office over eight year: I the general debate 1t was asserted by some that the origin of “to the wictor belongs the spoils” was attributed to Andrew Jack- son, while othiers claimed that John Adams had a band in it.

The five-doliar rate which Drs. Cope- land and Mansfield introducod stated period created a genuine sur- prise, not only among doctors and drug- gists, among newspaper readers gener- ally. It was such a radical departure from the big feos usually charged by persons claiming to be specinlists that at first it could ha dly be understood by the public, Of course, the rate was not exceedingly profitubio to the physicians tiiemselves, nnd in some cases, especi those of patients out of the city, ne ing special preparations or apparatus to supply the place of office treatment, it entailed a positive loss, In spite of this, however, Drs. Copeland and” Mansfield lived vigorously up to the terms of their offer and in no was n patient charged more than #5 a month for med- icines and troatment during the period the offer covered. Envious and successful doctors looked on ut first with increduaiity. Is somo trick about it" thoy sald. They are €oine to get more money some Way. They cannot treat patients and furnish modi- cines at £ n month.” But in spite of this warning, intell- gent newspaper readors who had care- fully watched the career of Dr. Cope- lund and his associates during the timo that they bave practiced medicine in Omaha, knew that there was no trick about it. They. knew that Drs. Cope- tand and Mansfield religiously kept their promises to the pubiic, and the offer met with a cordial ana almost overwhelming response. Drs. Cope- land and Munsfield did what their rivals said could not be done. They did it, not only for one month, but for three consecutive months, Their incredulity gave place to anger. Eovious doctors realized that a telling blow had been struck at the unrea: system of heuvy fees and expensiv After that o remark frequ comfited physicians wus: case “Oh, trae; they are simply doinz that to get acrowd of peop'e. After they zot all the pa- tlents they want they will raise their rates and muke « lot of money." One physician, in_another city, envi- ous of the success of Dr. Copeland and his associntes, went so far as to embo ly this remark ina circular letter (written ou a hektograph) which he mailed to all the names he could get. Well, we are prepared to show the wenkness of this method of attack just as clearly a8 we have shown the weak- ness of other attacke from a similar source—unuble to continue the general rate as it stood.

There is one other remark that hus been made which enlls for a very direct and a very forcible answer, the reduc- tion of the rate to 35 a month up toa specified date gavo rise to the remark from a certein source, something like this: “Oh. they ure coinz to take in all the moncy they can up to that dute, then close thelr oftice and leave the town."
