At tho time of tho letting of the contract ex-City Engineer Tillsoa estimated that tho grading would necessitate the removal of 00 cubic yards of earth. The contractors weut on with their work and on February 16, 182 the final estimate, amounting to 5,178,360, was allowed. This estimate and the ficures of the eugineer show that 51,919 yards of earth were ro- moved. The property owners who are luterested are now trying to figure out how ex-City Eugineer Tillson could have made a mistake of 20,219 cubic yards in figuring on the con- tra The difference in the cost amounts to more than §2,000. The engineer explains that when he took his hrst measurements he was unable to ascortain the exactamount of earth to be removed; that there was o side hill and that the amouut of carth to ve taken from this cut could not be figured.

The speakers of tho evening were: Aflirmative—Mess 1. C. Kennedy and E. L. Johnson. Negative—Messrs, I, K. McKillip and W, E. Bare; Mr. Kennedy in this, his first appearance beforo an audience, argued that as the king of a country possesses the centralization of authority and resource, ke can have unity in his plaus of education, secure the most able masters aud consequently gaiwn the point at issue, while under a democratic government suthority is ever changing and the con- testants for office seck their own personal emolument rather than the enlightenment of the ignorant masses, Opposed to this were the soaring strains of Mr. McKillip's eloquence. He was of the opinion that the whole world was fast be- coming democratic—that people would no longer suffer the bighest cailings in educated life to be monopolized by *‘the favored few’" of a royal line. *“It1s in monarchies,” said the speaker, ‘that today thousands aro stary- ing, ‘hev see no shining goal to erouse their dilnlorf' wealness, hence their depth of RDOrAnce : but to the young wman of today @& republic like ours lays open & path wherein Lis zeal muy win the highest bonors in the land.” ‘The third speaker, My, Johnson, had for his motto, *We Learn by Observation.’ With much logical force he extoled the beauties of ancient and modern architecture and the other tine arts, all of which reached their climax under the fosteriug hand of monareny.

Ciranies B WILLIAMSON, - SIMPLY A SUBTERFUGE. Major Paddock’s Talk About € Was not Well Founded, Parties who nold county warrants oa the Uspecial cash fund of the county general fund" have been disappoiuted. A few weeks ago when Major Paddock of the Board of County Commissioners introducer his resolu- tion authoriziag the transfer of 32,000 of poor and hospital funds, ho stated that the money so derived would pav salaries and in- cidentals until July 1, wheu the 182 levy would become available, 1t took County Treasurer Iroy some days 10 make tho transfers upon his books, but at last everything has been complcted and the information has been given out that there is not nor nas there been a cent of money 1n this fund. ‘I'he money was drawn months ago, long boforo Mr. Iroy assumed the duties of tho office. In niain English ho states that Major Paddock’s transfer was simply a_sub- terfuge to cover up_tho overdraft that was made during Adam Snyder’s reign. unty Fands The regular mecting of the North Omaha Iinprovement club, w held Monday even ing at their hoadquarters, Thirty-second and Ames avenue. Owing to the fact that thero had been aspecial call made, a large number of membersa.d vititors were in attendance among whom were Messrs, Specht and M- Learie, councilmen of the Sixth ward. During the business which was transacted by theclub many valuable pointers were given y these gentlemen and Mr. Frank Patrick in regard to the necessary steps to be taken in procuring the several classes of improve- meuts which may be ueeded, such as sewer erage, city water, sidawalks and crosswalks. Rov. K. A, Foglestrom spoke most enthu- siastically in regard to sewerage for the Imnanuel hospital, 4 Mr. Nowton spokein behalf of the resi- dents of the viciuity of Twenty-ninth and Spaulding streets and described the nec ty of sewerago in a most graphic style. Both these matters were then reforred to the sew- erege committee. City water was then dis- cussed. The chairman of that committee was then badly scoved for his non-attendance at the meetings and seaming neglect of duty in not fulfilling the desires of the club. 1t was even intimated that he had taken advan- tage of the trust placed in him working only for a salfish end. Lights, sidewalks, ete., were all th great entbusiasm. pecht suggested that the club bend toward having more grading done touched its effort in this part of the city, Mr. MeLeario's atténtion was called to the fact that as yot nothing had been scon of the “'box culverts” which had boen petitioned for some time since for var s strects cross- ing the North Omaha creek. ‘Lhat wentle- man replied that thero was a question whether or not bridges would not be much more serviceable than culverts: be was con vinced that thev would not; whereupon he promised that he would seo that we should got those cuiverts without further delay. It was then expressed that this club wished it to o cizarly, distivctly and pub- licly understoou that_ it 'is no Kickers' club, aud ropudiates any of its membors who glory in sucha title: that its object is simply a uniting of individuals to procure by peti- tions, cte., whatever improvements may bo dcemed necessary for the north end of the city. The club then n23sed a vote of thanks to their councilmen for their presence among them, and extended ther a hearty and coc- dial welcome 1o all its mectings. e Do A Creditable Issue, Tho Omana Excalsior of Mare: 12 contained an excellent articlo on Omaha's new post- oftice, illustratod with views of the presenc postoftice building and of tho new one, and likewiso portraits of Nenator Charles I\ Manderson, Postmaster T. 8.

Be fore the writ could be executed, Neu and his bark ecper lovied on tho executioner, and tho latter was deposited on the outside paving at long range without much apparent regard for ko physical comfort of the projectile. Hensel filed two complaints in police court against Neu, ono charging carrying con- coaled weapons, aud tho other abasing and resisting an officer, and the rebellious salcon man was persoraily levied upon by Court Oicer Keyser. .

Miss Millio Kellner, a_young violin pupil, followed in *“Abschiedstled,”” by Jul. \WVeiss, Taking into consideration ihe tender yea of the performer, her work was decidedly good and predicts future possibilities. Miss MacDermott displayed a fing toch- uique and taste in her vocal rendition of Ardit's “Mugnetic Waltz.? She is very young, and her conception of tho work given her was surprising. Miss Louiso Holtorfl and Dr. Bactens fol- lowed in the first movement ol Beethoven's G major sonata, Miss Haltorff is possessed of a naturally good technique, and her play- ing in this and subscquent numbers was 1nuch admired. Miss Etta Evans, & young lady who has recently become a pupil of the conservatory, preposscsses an audicnco by her charming stago presenco and girlish, unaffectod man- ner. She was seriously handicapped by an attack of nervousness, which, however, did not conceal the fact ihat sho hac & very promising voice. Sne has nover appeared before in solo work und as an initial perform- anco her rendition of Bevignao's “‘1’lower Garl” was mora discouraging to her audience than to herself. She 1s studying for the operatic stage and sho bids fair to succecd. Miss Mabel Seward, a pupil of whom the Ca vatory b; conservatory may be justly proud, played Mendelsohns scherzo’ op. 83 No. 2 and Haydn’s beautiful fantasis in C mijor. Her exccution, interpretation and general style were much above tho average, and to say that she is an excellent younz pianist would not bo giving her undeseryed praise, Miss Darlene Coo plaged Rubinstein’s mel- ody in I as a violin solo in such a_way as to attact tho admiration and praise of the audi ence, and Miss Birdic Frank wou an encoro by her artistic roudering of Singalee's “Mignon"’ fantasie. “'ho trio iu G minor, first movement by J. (i, Cummings, onc of the directors of tho conservatory, was a delightful and masterly piece of composition. Had it been inserted earlier in_the program he audience would certainly have called for the author, but in- asmuch’ as it was tho last number, people were obliged 1o be satisfied with commenting on_its excellency, which they unanimously Qid. Tho parts in the trio were artistically sustained by Dr. Baetens (violin), Mr. John Brown (‘cello) and Mr. 13, M. Jones (piato). Miss Young recited “The Dandy Fifth’ (Gassoway) in_acceptable style. She pos- sesses a clear, flexible voice ana good pres- enco and will bo heard in a separate elocu- tionary entertainment in a few weeks when sbe can display hor versatility.” Miss Drake gave *“Iie Tell Tale” by Aldine in a very catching manner. Dr. Buctens was very artisticin his work and Mr. Jones was truly sympathetic in his accompaniments.
