Try my form; it works liko butter.” A marriage form was dug up and read to the couple, both of whom were on the verge of despair. They promised, contributed a $2 fco and instantly hied themselves from the ouilding, The évent of the morning having pussed, the books, papers sndotuer documents were turned over to Judge Kller and ex- Judge Shields went out to resume the prac- ticoof law.

Change In the Coroner's Oflce, C'oroner Maul stepped into his new oftice at midnight, although he didn’t happen to roalize it until he was awakened by a tele- phono call this morning, and an unknown Por:«ol\ demanded to know if the coroner was n. The coroner was about to say that he did not live thers when he happened to think that it was January 7, and changed his mina, The call was a notification of the aeath of Osear Olesen, and the coroner hustled out to @ather up the papers and blunks that were 1n tho hands of ex-Coroner Harrigan. Aud right there was another surprise for bim. Mv, Harrigan had a stock of blanks of all kinds imaginable as big as a small house, but he bad departed from the custom of his predecessors and had his nume printed oo every one of them, 5o that the eutiro batch was useless unless the new coroner was wili 1ng 1o dosomo scratching and write his own namo above. ‘Che blanks that had formerly read “At an inquisition holden before mwe, , coroner of Douglas county, of — 18—~ the name of C.

Onb blanks where there was no occasion for anything of the kind, or where it was absolutely impossible to bave his nawo printed in the body of the blank, Mr. Harrigan had taken delight i haviog it rinted on the margin in big letters thata lind man could have deciphored at a dis tance of three blocks, Several bundred blauks that were printed at quite a respectable cost are thus rendored u 8‘1&! by reason of the egotism of the ex- coroner, but for which they would have lasted through the torm of the present in- cumbent and several others, —_——— Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup reduces wfiammation while cbildren are teething. 25 ots per bottle, e Jucksonians Will Co This evening the Jacksonian club wiil celobrate the suniversary of the victory won by its patron saint over the British ut New Orleaus, The celebration will be 1n the this — day form of a banquot, which will be given at the Paxton botel.

(X ko ALL OVER A WARRANT. Real Estate Owners Associution Trouble for Mr. O'Mal County Clerk O'Malley is no mare, but his memory bids fair to flourish as a horse chestnut troe, and because of it Citizen O'Malley and his bondsmen will experience trouble to the extent of a bushel or two be- fore the affuirs of the county clerk’s oftico are adjusted to the entire satisfaction of tho reform administration. The pending cause for grief developed last evening when County Clork Sackett discov- ered a leaf in the warrant stub book on which was the infqrmation in black and white thata warrant in favor of the Ne- braska Tribune for §1,262.74 for printing the aelinquent tax list had beon drawa and as- signed to County Treasurer Snydor, and Mr. Snyder’s receipt for the same was attached, Now this same claim, together with that of the Pokrok Zapadu for a like amount for similar services, was allowod last week by the Board of County Commissioners aftor consiaerable discussion and opposition, The law provides that the warrant must be held for ten days toadmit of appeal on the part of any citizen so disposed, and this limit does not expire until today. Therefore the w rant was issued contrary to law and that is why. Mr. O’'Malley’s bondsmen are now treatened with a littlo touch of financial un pleasantness. Another thing that appears to be a littie off color on the surfuce is the fact that the date is January 7. The Real Kstate Owners association has taken hold of the matter and it is proposed to malke Mr. O'Malley’s bandsmen see that the warrant is returned or surrender the amount of it in cold cash. Mr. Paul Harbaugh, in behalf of tho association filed the appeal notice last_ovening, tho effect of which will Lo to restrain the commissionors and clerk from carrying out their previously avowed intentions, A cluso examination of the records shiowed that the claims wero allowed Decombor 31, which would prevent the is- suance of the warrants for several days yet, but this date was afterward changed to ‘De- cember 28, which made the limit_for appeal last night, and this explains tho issuance of the warrant, ho Pokrok Zapadu warrant is still thero, which gives additional color to the belief that there was a particular reason for tho hasto in getting the Tribune’s ciaim into tho hands of Mr. Snyder. e e TN The rosy froshuess and tie velvety soft- ness of the skin is variably obtained by those who use Pozzoni’s Complexion Powder. e e, DeWitt's Littie Karly 1isers for the liver. o e UNDER THE CARS.

Rail- way company was killed about 6 o’clock last evening by falling under a train of moving freight cars. Skala was on the top of a car turning a brake when the train passed unaer the Doue- las street briage. He lost his footing and fell. As the car struck Skala the jolt threw the car from the track, and this attracted the attention of the crew. The train was stopped, but not before the body bad been dragged fuily 100 feet. Coroner Maul was telephoned for and hastened to the scene. Ho removed the body from between the car wheels and placed 1t in a cofin. It was afterwards learned thav the deceased was only 19 years old and lived at Gibson station with a ‘wid- owed wother. 'The young man formerly worked at a South Omaha packig house, but was auxious to go to railroading. About two months ago the mother consented and the son secured a position with the B. & M. company.

It is Applied to Beveral Items in the Last Appropriation Ordinance, HOW HUGH MURPHY GOT THE JOB. It Was a Complicated Case and the City Will Pay for the Work-Contractor Coots Makes a Proposition Concerning Heating, All of the members of the new council, except Mr. Chaffee, were prosent at a special meeting held last night. The moeting was called for the purpose of considering the appropriation ordinance for liabilities in- curred in Dacember, Mayor Cushing failed o sign this before retiring from office and the clamor of city employes for salaries due led the council to meet and consider the ordi- nance with objeotions which 1t was under- stood Mr. Bemis would make. Mayor Bemis returned the ordinance, veto- ing these items: John Granfleld, sidewalk inspector, $31.00; John A. O'Keefe, sixth estimato for grading Douglas street, $1,404; N. Neiday, removing dead animals, §! d Mahoney & Moan, grading Thirtieth street, 8303.46; C. E. Fanning & Co., North Omaha sower, $163.47; John K. Coots, city hall esti- mates, $,140. Tnese claims had all been paid once, excopt that of Mr. Coots, ana his estimate was vetoed because of the condition of the city ball fund. The items. wero stricken from the ordinance, which was then passed. C. H, Venner, vico president of the Ameri- can Water \Works company, presented a communication expressing the desire of tho company to deal with the city on aliberal basis, and offering to relocate 100 water hy- drants at such places as the council might designate. The proposition was pluced on file, The bond of Mayor Bemis as member of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners was presented and approved. The appowntment of John AWestberg as deputy comptroller, submitted by Comptroi- ler Olsen, was confirmed. Explaining the Murphy Contract, City Attorney Poppleton reported on the matter of Contractor Hugh Murphy’s claim of §1,402.50 for repaving Sherman avenue in paving districts 252 and 2 ‘This was the matter referred to by Tur Bee some days ago showing that the work had been done without competitive bids; that there was no money in the funds of those districts to pay for the work and that the sum could not be collectea by special assess- ment, Mr. Poppleton's report was as follows: “The work in question seems to haye been oraercd by the council and executed through the Board of Public Works without a public lefting. Under these circumstances no valid talk can be assessed against abutting prop- erty for cost of the work. I see no course open except to pay the blll out of the general fund.” Mr. Lowry explained that the contract could not be let to anyonc except Mr. Mur- phy, because he was under contract with the city to keep the paving in repair for a yoar ana could not have been held to that con- tract had the worlg of repaving been awarded to another centrifctor, Mr. Lowry moved that the amount be paid, in ordance with the city attorney’s suggestion, out of the general fund. “But can you do that?” asked Mr. Bruner. “Is there any money in_the geaeral fund or will tnere be after the dobts contracted in 1891 nave been paid?” Mr. Lowry was not posted on this point and when some one mentioned the fact that there were $19.000 in the repaving, curbing and guttering fund Mr. Lowry promptly changed his motion end it was adopted, taking Mr. Murply’s claim from that fund, Heating the City Hall, Contractor Coots presented a communica- tion relative to tho heating of the new y hall during the progress of its completion. He stated that it would require the tempor— y setting of 150 radiators at £ each and & day for coal and labor of heating. He would pay balf of this amount if the city would pay the othor.

The successful bidder is Mr. 1. E, Short of Kansas City, who for a number of years has been running tho horseaud mule department of the Stock Yards company of Kunsas City.

Usually I am pretty good at talking, especiaily so upon the subject of business watters; but when my sympathies are touchod 1' am completely broken down."! Mr. O'Keeffe wiped several large tears frem bis eyes and continued: I may have madennany mistakes while acting in my ofti- cial capacity, but they aro not mistakes of the heart, nor were thoy willful. I have al- ways tried to do richt, and take much_pride in having watohed the brogress of Omaha and Douglas county. 1 voted for the ordi- nance ordering the first _pavement thav was laid in this eity; I voted for the coustruction of the court house and the county hospital; 1 have helned to give Douglus county good roads, and have also helped to construct £00d substantial sewers in place of the old system of wood culverts. It is true that I have differcd with the members of the board in times past, and if thero had been no differences it would have looked like n steal. “Iam glad that a grand jury is about to be called. 1 hope that ouly good business men will Be selected and it 1s my wish that that body look into all offenses” committea against tho city and county.
