R. Price, who occupied the house, and his family had some trouble in getting out with their lives, and had to be con- tented to leave all their properiy in the flames. The fire department did not arrive until quite a while after the fire started, from the fact that the man who gave the alarm ran past two alarn boxes and finally turned in the alarm near the Mothodist church, fully a mile from the fice. The hous and all'its contents were totully destroyed. Mr. Adams had $1500 wsurance on the house and estimates the loss at about 3200 more than that. Mr. Price’s insurance on the furniture amounts to $500, which, it is thought, will cover the loss. v morning at 3:40 o'clock the fire nt was called out to extinguish a 2 vesidence of Mrs, Jessie Oakley, corner of T'wenty-fifth streev and Avenue C. An effort was mado to call up the firgmen by means of the telephone, but central seemed t0 be taking o nap and ‘the one giving the wlarm finally had to run to the engine house on lower Broadway. Mrs. Oakley had &1,200 insurance on the furnituve and £1,600 on her rdrobe, and these amounts, it is said, are amply sufiicient to cover all loss by fire. There was £1,700 insurance on the building, which is the property of J. L.

Chairman Smith of the judiciary commit- tee gave the ball a start by reading his re- port on the ordinance proposed by Alderman White several weeks ago, providing for a B-cent fare on thac part of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Bridge company’s line within the city limits on Broadway and Avenue A, “Thero has been no complaint or petition from the citizens.” said he, “asking for a reduction of the fare on the motor line. A 5-cent fare, with first-class sery- ice and first-class road equipments, is low enough. What the citizens want is a ent fare to Omaha. Your committeo believes that it is an injustice to the citizens in other parts of the city to fix one rate for Broadway and Avenue A and an- othe o for other street It is natural that a working man, in choosing a lot for his little home, should chose one on a_ str where motor fave is cheaper. and this ordi- nance will therefore discriminate in favor of property owmners on certain streets and against _ property owuers on all others. Your committee therefore recommends that the S-cent fare be laxd on the table.” This report wus signed only by Peter Smith, chairman, ““That must be a minority report, said the mayor. “It's a report, all the same,” said Smith. The other members will probably make an- other report, but I don’t know how many signatures it will have.” 'The report was filed. Cent ness. Fare Ques then,” Majority Report. Alderman Jennings then read the majority report for himself and Alderman Geise, ommending the passage of the troublesomo ordinance. The passage of another. a s plemental ordinance, wus recommended, re lating the farc on all other portions of the road besides those comprehended in the or- dinance under cousideration. The report also recommended thatan ordinance be passed requiring the motor compauy to furnish without additional churge, transfer checks 2o0d on all connecting lines for thirty min- utes from time of issue. This report wus adopted, but Smith voted no. “The council then proceeded to vote on the B-cent fare ordinance. After it had been puton the second reading under u suspen- s1om of rules Smith tried to amend it so as to take in the whole wotor line. But Smith, for the time being, was grecn persimmon to the other couucilmen, and if he had of- fered a rosolution declaring that it was a warm ovening his colleagies would have hurried their conts and vests on and voted it down unanimously. His amendment didn't even vet a second. The ordinance went through in spite of Smith's “No," which was vociferated at every turn in'the house with the regularity of a trip-hammer, “'wo ordinances were then brought up em- bodying the suggestions made in Jenning's report. Tho first one provided for a 3-cent faro on all the streets in the city, excepting those mnamed in the ordinance just passed, and for a fine of §00 for any corporation or individual who should eharge or receive more than that amount, The sccond provided for the 1s- suance of transters over all portions of the motor line, good at connecting points for thirty minutes from the time of issuance without extra charge, and fixing a £100 fine for violations. Both theso ordinances went as faras tho second reading, where they stopped. Smith and the other members of the council changed sides of the fence adroitly, Smith wanting the ordinances hustled through and all the rest being in avor of & postponement. A petition was presented from the resi- dents of West Broadway asking for the ap- pointment of & policemin to look after that portion of the city. William Vandeuburg was recommended, and the mayor was au- thorized to muke the appointment. The above mentioned petition was signed by cight citizens, oach of whom agreed to pay £ per month toward the oficer’s salary.

During the evening, as he failed to show up, Weatherbee telephoned out to the school and learned that no rig of the kind which e described had been there. He re- ported the case to Sheriff Hazen, who has offered a reward of 85 for the return of the rig or the cap- ture of the thief.

This web-spinning monster lives in the most mountainous districts of that rug- ged island, and places his trap—not a gossamer snare of airy lightness, but a huge net of yellow silk from five to ten feet in diameter—across the chasms and fissures in the rocks. The supporting guys of this gigantic net, which in all cases is almost strong enough for a ham- mock, ave from five to twenty feet in length (as conditions and circumstances may require), made of a series of twisted webs, the whole being of the diameter of u lead pencil. As might be imagined, this gigantic siiken trap is not set for mosquitoes, flies and pestiferous gnats, but for birds, gaudy moths and elegantly painted butterflies, some of the latter having a spread of wing equal to that of arobin or a blue jay. Some extra fine skeletons of small birds, lizards, snakes, ete., have been found in these webs, with every vestige of flesh picked from them. The owner and maker of theso queer silk traps is a spider with a body averaging 44 inches in width and 6 inches in length, and with legs Y to 12 inches from body to terminal claw. Yotato History. It has been proved beyond a doubt that at the time of the discovery of Americ the cultivation of the potato was prae- ticed, with every appearance of ancient usage, in the temperate regions extend- ing from Chile to New Grenada, at alti- tudes varying with the latitude. The name of the discoverer of the potato is unknown, but Du Candolle sums up the history of its discovery as follows: *“The posato is wild in Chile in a form which is still seen in our cultivated plants; it is doubtful whether its natural home extends to Pern and New Grenada: its cultivation was diffused before the dis- covery of America and was introduced in the latter half of the sixteenth contury into that part of the Unitea States now known as Virginiaund North Carolina, and the potato was imported into Iurope between 1580 and 15%5, first by the Spaniards and afterward by the English at the time of Raleigh’s voyages to Virginia.” e Rl WEATHER FORECASTS, torms and R, wed Nebrasks Toduy, .

You are all aware that a public official is at all times m duty bound to meet conditions and questions not only arising each day, but ‘to also solve if possiole dificult probioms which are the outgrowth of erroneous judgment or mismanagement of those who have been his predecessor in office. 1 am aware that all nd I do not believe that the average slic ofticial is an exception Lo this rule “In an carnest endeavor to become ac- nted with the present status of city divs 1 have from time o time during tho ef period which T have had the honor of being the exccutive head of the city govern- ment investigated our condition with a view to giving to the taxpayers and residents of the best governwent ou the most economical basi “Some Lwo years ago, or during city entored into a contract with the Cali- fornia Petroleum and Asphalt company for the paving of T'wenty-fourth street from A to Q with Stradumant asphalt. Prior to the execution of t coatract bouds had been issued to cover the cost of such pavement and had been p! d on the market and sold by the mayor and council of that year. The proceeds from the sale'df saia bonds were deposited in the city treasury. After the execution of the contract the California Pe- troleum and Asphait company proceeded to ay a pavement on Twenty-fourth street. Before the pavement was completed the company was ordered to cease work by the city engineer, acting under the direction of or and council of 1801, The pre- men err It 1801, the the may sumablo ground for the stopping of such work was the exceedingly cold weather, dur- ing which it was believed that asphaltum pavement could mot be - successfully laid. On the following spring under the heat of the sun the pavement which had been laid became soft aud_gummy; it was denounced as worthless. Public ‘demanded that said company be not permitted to fur- ther proceed with the work. The mayor and council of 1802, in_obedience to such public sentiment or their own opinions, in- structed the chief of police to stop the said company from any further work on the street. ‘The pavement company then ap- phed to the United States courts for an i Junction restraining the mayor ard council and city officials from interfering with the compi n doing work on said streeet. A vestramning order was granted by Judge Dundy and served upon the city officials The California company then brought suit agaiust the city for some $85000, alleging brench of contract on the vart of the city. “This suit was pending in court until the of 1842, when the mayor and council of tnat year, unaer the vice of the eity attornoy and Messrs. Cowin & McHugh, settled the litiga- tion. The season had'so far advanced that 1o paving was done during 1802 except some ; the result is that the street repuiring is not yet finished. “I have thus rehearsed the history of the case that you might better understind the particular point to which 1 now desire to call your sttention. The bonds which had been sold were drawing interest at 7 per centand the proceeds of such salo were lying idle in the treasury not drawing one cent of intercst, No assessment for the cost of paving Twenty-fourth street hua aver been made against the abutting prop- erty, heuce the city was not deriying any interest and therefore had no money except the principal to meet the interest” payuble on the bonds. The city treasurer, in order to pay the obligations of the city as the me fell due, was obliged to draw on the principal; therefore, the fund which the law prescribed should be set aside for the payment of the bonds and intercst, inasmuch as the assessment againsy the property had not been made, is toduy inadequate to mect yond obligation. ‘There is now a deficit of somo &2t Had assessments been made as they should the interest on such assessments would have paid the interest on the bonds. “Your honorable body is now ealled upon to meet this condition and preserve the city's credit. I am aware that the condition 1s the outgrowth of, I mightsuy, almost extruordi- uary circumstances resuiting from the iil- advisedaction of the council of 1501, 1 believe that the city’s interest wouldhave been pro- { and the present condition avoided if uts of that company, some of whom izens of our city, had uot, in their cager desire to have the pavement com- pleted in 1301, that the company wight gey all the money, urgsd upon the mayor und council the sale of s}l the bonds before the money was needed. This, however, having been done, the assgssment should have been made that the interest on the taxes might bo used to pay the interest on the bouds which bad been plaged on the market. “I believe that this question should be placed 1 charge of the committee of finance. that they muy solye, the question and pro- vide a way for the replenishment of tho treasury. Some time during last year the city em- ployed J. J. Points, an expert accountant, to check the books of the city and county treasurer and asceriain the condition of tie city funds. Withip &he vast few days I have for the fivst time had the pleasure of reading M. Points’ report. 1 did not before know of its existence. In looking over this able report 1 discover some important suggestions made by him which should receive the attcn- tion of the councili. According to his figures oue of our ex-cily treasurers has a small lance still due the city in his hands. This lauce has no doubt been held through error, but thero I8 now no reason why it should not be paid over to the city. He also touches upon the amount of fees by the city treusurer for collection of delinquent taxes. is 8 question of consider- able importance sud werits consiaeration of the council.
