The the ralling reserved for the public was full to overflowing, for the most part by honry- handed song of tofl, who came to see what steps the council might take toward provid- ing work for those of their number who are out employment. And before they went home they had occasion several times to testify to their approval of what was sald and done by hearty cheers. A pumber of fmportant items of business were brought up for consideration, Lucius Wells stated that he was present the representative of all the property on Oakland avenue but two, to ask that the avenue be sewered and repaved. He stated that the avenue is now almost impass- city mayor and space outside as own able and the paving is likely to be washed out and ruined entirely by the first heavy rain.

A committee of the Union Labor club was present with a petition similar to the one rejected by the council In 1892, asking that North Twentieth street be provided with a curb of artificial stone and paved with brick inten- tion of from Broadway to Avenue G. It was signed by A. Metzger, Ben Marks and John W. Paul. George E. R. T. Hunter and L. Bruns made speeches in be tion, which was then mittec of the whole, A communication was read from the park commissioners, in which it was stated that the work now being done on Fairmount park would necessitate the removal of 3,000 yards of earth, and it was suggested that the city use it to fill the streets around Cochran park. The commissioners would load the wagons and pay 6 cents per yard for the removal of the earth if the city Wwould do the res . Alderman Keller thought the grading of only half of the street would put it into such a condition t lents would be likely to happen, for which the city would be liable for damages. Alderman Spefman suggested that 3,000 vards would make at most only a temporary grade and would not make any very notlce- able difference in the two sides of the street, The matter was finally referred to the com- mittee of the whole, who it was arranged should mect the park commissioners this morning early and look over the ground to- gether. Resolutions were adopted ‘requiring the Burlington Raflway company to plank its tracks on Tenth avenue, between Main and Sixth streets, the Rock Island and the Bur- lington at the intersection of Sixteenth ave- nue and Sixth street, and all companies on Sixteenth and Seventeenth streels.

The matter was referred to the clty attorney to draw up an amendment to the franchise. James Patterson’s resignation as trustee of the free public library was accepted and the matter of filling the vacancy so caused was laid over until next meeting. A petition for a new sidewalk on the north side of Broadway from Main to Second street was referred to the committee on streets and alleys. .« Mrs, M. C. Sorensen asked for damages on account of a fall on Fifth avenue, due to a loose plank. It was referred to the Judiclary committee. A number of property owners on Vine street, between First and Second streets, asked that the city engineer be instruced to locate the line of Indian creek in that vicinity in order that they might make de- alf of the peti- referred to the com- sired ~improvements without malestation from other - property owners, who might prosecute them for trespass. Granted, District Court Matters. Mr. and Mrs. Melzer, Charged with attempt to blackmalil, Frank Harter and Lew Davis, charged with robbery, Charles Foster and Josie Foster, with assault with intent to commit murder, and Frank Jones, with burglary, were arraigned in the district court yesterday and all pleaded not guilty.

Judge Thornell expects to wind up his work this week and Judge Lewls will hold his first term here, commencing next Monday. Yesterday the case of the city against Mc- Cadden was tried and submitted. Me- Cadden was manager of a circus that ex- hibited Lere and was arrested for not paying the full license imposed by the city ordi- nances, a special arrangement having been made with the mayor, in accordance with what was at that time the custom. Me- Cadden was discharged, but the case was taken up from police court on an appeal for the purpose of testing the valldity of the ordinance, There seems to be some doubt as to whether the city has a right to an appeal. At alj events the ordinance has been changed #0 that the mayor now has the right to do what he has always been doing legally.

Lam- bertson, one of the attorneys in the and told him that he was w! evening before he was found dead. Wray claimed that Houston had not been killed by the cars, but that he had been killed by a coupling pin in the hands of one James Dignell and his body placed on the tracks in order that all traces of the crime might be removed by mutilation. ~ This theory was advanced after the discovery of Houston's body, but it never received credence.

Bradeen resented any official interference, and warm words en- sued, during which Bradeen drew a revolver and fired three shots at Hagerty, none of them taking effect. At the trial Bradeen claimed that Hagerty made a motion as if he intended to draw a gun, . This is denied. NEW SCHEME FOR IRRIGATION. Enormous Water Wheel Er cted on the P to Overcome the Droat! ST. PAUL, Neb., June 4,—(Special to The Bee)—The long prevalling drouth has again brought the question': of /- irrigation into prominence here, but how to solve the ques- tion s what puzzles the farmers. Mr. M. Anderson, a wholesale grower of this town, who owns about 260 acres of fine land a mile from here on the North Loup river, has lately suggested a plan that seems to be a success. He has had erected a large re- volving wheel about thirty feet in diameter, something like the Ferris wheel, only that in place of passenger cars it is supplied with large tin buckets, The force of the river current revolves the wheel, the buckets fill up and on the wheel going its round each bucket on reaching the top empties its con- tents of water into a sluice, which then, through a ditch, leads the water into a large basin, and from there it s distributed through small ditches over Mr. Anderson's farm. As a trial he is now irrigating fifteen acres, but Is able through the same process to Irrigate fifty acres of the finest land to be found. Mr. Anderson says the expense of the wheel, erecting slilces, ditches and basin has been less than $500 and that he is satisfied already this summer to reap his re- ward. The acres now under irrfgation are planted into garden vegetables, and are doing finely, and next year Anderson intends to conduct his firrigation on a far more ex- tended plan. Thousands of people are co.n- ing to see Anderson’s water wheel, and many of similar construction will appear along the Loup. TREATED TO TAR AND FEATHERS.
