Not Up to Contract and the City Council Wil Probably K It The campaign made by the lseteham Fur- Diture company in pursuit of a contract with the city covering the furniture necessary for the city hall is fresh in the minds of the citi- zons of Omaba. Developments made by the newspapers and in the coun- cil investigation have mot inspired the taxpayers of this city with a high degreo ®f cocfidence in the aforesaid fnrniture com- pany, and it secured the contract against the protest of Tue Bee and aguinst the protest of every lavor organization in this city, Tue Bee, as it will be remembered, insisted that home manufacturers should be given the con- tract and the position of Tuk BEE was sup- ported by labor leaders. A little more than a month ago tho Keoteham company put the furciture in the comptroller's and city clerk’s offices in the pew city hall building. There was a “stiff” kick made at that time on the quality of the work and the fallure of the contractor to abide by the specitications upon which the contract was made. The council committeo and other officials pre- ferred, however, 1o wait until the greater share of the furniture has been de- livered before making a formal protest. The furniture is reaching the city from the fac- tory piecemeal, As one consignment follows another it has become more and more appar- ont that the makers have bad littlo regard for the specifications in any respect, and that some action must at once be taken gon the part of the city. Mayor Bemis, in company with other city oftic has made an inspection of the furni- ture already olaced in the city hall. Prosi- dent Davis has been watching the matter closely and the council committeo before whom this claim and contrhct will pass for approval are of the same mind, towit, that the coutractor must be compelled to'make this furniture according to the specifications 88 per coutract or else be reauired to take tho furniture out of the building. It is stated on good athority that mnot a cont has been paid on the contract; neither will there be until the city inspectors shall have shown the committee, the mayor and tho Q]ruuhloul of the council that the contract has been strictly ad4ered to, e Be sure and use M syrup for your child wouts a bottle. — LIVERYMEN IN ARMS, Undertakers Muy Ha: 0 Use Lumber W gons for Hearses. u of the city are in a peck of nse Iuspector Vaughn bas caused the arrest of several of them becau: of their refusal to pay a license of $10 a year on each rig owned and operated by them.

The members of the Board of Public Works met in s pecial session yesterduy after- noon to cousider the plans of thé new Six- teonth strect viaduct, prepared and pre- sented by City kngineer Rosewater. The blue prints were brought out and laid upon the table. Major Furay opened the ball by saylng that there was time enough to bid tho devil good morning whben hLe was met upon the street. The major said that there was u bridee along Sixteeath street, and for that reason he bolieved that the Fifteenth streot viaduct should be the first oue to be built, Kugiveer 1osewater explained that the plans had been prepared with the greatest of care sod in accordance with the best ideas on such structures. Major Furay asked what would be the ad- ditional cost 1f the deck of the viaduct was constructed of corrugated iron, with a view to carrying a stone pavement. Mr, Rosewater thought that it would cost a great deal more mouey. The iron deck would necessitate a great oeal heavier frame- work and would require the use of 4,000,000 pounds of additional irou. This, he said, would run the cost of the viaduct up to $107,000 more thau was conlewplated in the plaus toat be bhad prepured. Major Furay thought that there was no orying demand for the Sixtoenth street via- auct just at present. He sald that he knew nothing about the plans, but regarded thew ®ood if they had been approved by City £u- gincer Rosewater, Colouel Egbert wanted to kuow tbe prob- [lhla cost of the vinduct if the rondway was narrowed from fifty to forty feet. The engineer informed him that the cost would be reduced only abéut 17 per cent. The voard wanted some informution ro- garding the safety of the present viaduot ulong Sixteenth street. Eugineer Rose: stated that it had been repaired aud might be considered safe for light traflic, but that it could not be considered absclutely safe. All of the members voted to adopt the plans and the specifications, and tonight they will come before the city council. Over the Street Payroll, J. H. Winspear handed in his payroll for the month o1 June. The amount was £9,099.27, and attached to it was a portion of the May payroll, which showed a balance of §175. The bilis were audited by J. C. Gibson, the time keever, and Winspear, the street com- missioner, but they wero not allowed until Chairman Birkhauser and Major Furay had indulged in some personalitios. Major Furay opened the debate by de- claring that it looked as though it was the intention to use up all of the public money before the season was half over, He insisted that the chairmun knew notbing about the correctness of the bills. Chairman Birkhauser acknowledged that such was a fact and that it was not his busi n as there was a timekeeper for that purpose. “Woll, he 18 not your timekeeper,” an- swered Major kuray, and you know nothing about whother or not he has kept a correct account with the oity.” The chairman re- plied that the major spoke words of truth. Tnen Major Furay turned in for the purpose of doing some roasting. e hoped that ere many days the board would have a chairman who would look after the irvterests of the city, devote his timo to the affairs of the of- fico and know what was going on in and about the publio works. fThe chalrman warmed up and got back by stating that he knew as much about tho city affairs as the other mombers and that he looked after the interests of the public as closely as somo gentlemen that he could name; gentlemen who were talking a good deal and not 4o’ ug anything. Colonel Egbert pleaded for harmony. He said that he would not sit with tnhe board again and that he hoped a feeling of broth- orly love would take possession of the minds of the two men, The pleading had its effect, for the two gentlemen at once subsided and commenced talking upon the subject of per- manent walks, #Chairman Birkhauser stated that stone walk had been ordered on Harney and Ia nam wast of Twentieth street, and along Harney in front of the Tom Murray prop- erty. Thequestion in his mind hada been how to haudle the matter, Contractors had bid on stove ana artificial stone, and when tho vroperty owners and the council failed to designate the material he did not know whut ho was to do. Major Furay: seid the ohairman should designuto what was to be laid. Chairman Biwkbsuser thought not. He wanted suggostions from the bourd and then he would follow:out the suggestions, City Attorngy Connell wrote that the board should aesignate the material, and bereafter the beard will have the say. Artificial stone was ordered laid at Ninth and Dodge and Sixteenth and Dodge. A statement filed showed that Ford & Hughes had laid 710 yards of artificial stone, and that J. W, Furnas & Sons haa not laid any walk, simply becauso they bad nov made | any application, in examining the records, tho board found that there was more walk condemned than both the stone and aruficlal stone contractors eould lay this season, R DeWiw's Sarsaparilia is reliable. i Hale Zohuves Gratetal, Mr. George C. Hale, chief of the Kans City tire department, has written Chief Gal- Highest of all in Leavening Pow Rl ligan a letter expressing the thanks of him- self ard the Hale Zoaaves for the manuer in which the company was entertained during the encampment. ~He says that both Omaha and the Omaha fire department will always be pleasantly remembered. B DeWitt's Sarsaparilla cleanses ths bl 00d RS What Others Say About The Boe Bureau of Claims. A correspondent of the New York Even- ing News recently wrote to the editor for in- formation about pensions. Shortly after, the following answer appeared in the query column : YA, For any information about pen- sions we would advise you to writo to i Bee Bureau of Claims at Omaha, Neb. This office is under the administration of asyn- dicate of newspapers, including the St. Paul Pioneer-Press, the San Francisco Examiner and others,” This is an_illustration of the manner in which the Bureau of Claims has been ad- vancing to the position of oneof thestan dard iustitutions of the capital. No news- paper would think of advising & correspon- dent, outside of 1ts advertising columns, to write to John Smith, attorney, for informa- tion about pensions. It is no part of a paper’s businuss to aavertise ate claim agencies for nothing. But the fact is recog- nized that Tue Bee Bureau 1s not a privato ageucy, but au stitution which, although not connected with the government, is man- aged in the public interost. . Tho paragraph quoted abovo relates only to pensions. But if the editor had been asked about patents, or public lund titled, or Indian gepredation claims, the answer would naturallyhave been tho same. The bureau deals with all these mutters and handles all with equal caro and skill, The common idea of a claim bureau 1s that it is an agency for extracting monoy from the government, genorally for undeserving objects, Tue Bir is engaged in a very dif- ferout class of work. To be sure, some clagsor of claims do take monoy from the govornment, always honestly due, however, so far as those prosecuted by the Bek Bureau are concerned but others, and those among the most important, costthe treasury nothing, but return it a profit in- stead. In patent cases, for examplo, the legal fees oro so much in excess of the neces- sary e€xpenses that the governinent has cleared millions of dollars out of inventors, In encouraging iuveution by removing the difiiculties in the way of securing valid patents, Tne BEE is contributing to the pub- lic weaith. In land cases again, the claim agency that enaples the sottler to obtain a good fitie to his home is accomplishing an unmixed bene- fit to the public. The pioneer goes into the wilderness and creates ten times as much wealth for the nation as he is able to obtain for mimself. He helps to build up a new American comnunity and broaden the foundations of the republic. Tug Ber Bureau recognizes the fact that there aro claimants that are as much eutitled to their demands as the president of tne United States is to his salary. Dishonest claimants have plenty of representatives. —_— (D L' ut Wonde . “Lia Mascot” is the bill at Wonderland.
