CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Mr, Bchrum Appointed as Member of the Eoard of Public Works, IN FORM POSTPONES ACTION DEFECT Wiley Contingent Still T Paid of cy Moard Are firmed—Who They Are. Ing to Get Rhe Members The expectation that the mayor would name a successor to Major Fur mem- ber of the Board of Public Works and that | the appointment would cause an Interesting | muss in the council drew a full lobby at the regular council meeting last night. The expectant crowd was disappointed in regard to the latter for the combine gave im- mediate evidence that it was their purpose not to waste any time on the appointment, but to consign it to the tender mercies of Hascall's judiciary committee for interment The mayor communicated the name of Levi F. Schrum as street commis signating Mr. Balcombe as sewer missioner and J. H. Winspear as chairman of the board. He also inclosed petitions from the bricklayers unfon and the buili- ers and traders union unanimously en ing the appointment of Mr The clerk had not finished the last para- graph of the communication before Bechel was on his feet with a n to refer to the judiciary committee, At this point the clerk discovered that the mayor had omitte to sign the com ation and this lovp- hole was rly seized and the appointment referred back to the mayor. The mayor vetoed the ordinance redefining the wards of the city on account Inaccuracies in describing the the precincts, and transmitted ordinance in which the errors were ¢ The veto was sustained, and the subs ordinance was read and referred to a special committee, Ordinances declaring the necessity of grad- ing Dodge street, from Thirty-sixth strect to Thirty-elghth avenuc; Seventeenth street, from Vinton to Center; Tenth street, from Center to Dorcas, and Eighteenth street, from Center to Willlams, were vetoed on the ground that the council had no right to take money from the road fund for original grading, and the vetoes were sustained in each instanc The mayor's veto of the item in the June appropriation ordinance of $150 for the salary of L. M. Rheem brought the Wiley combine into line. Hascall and Wheeler disputed the mayor's statement that the courts had de- cided that the action of the council in ap- pointing Mr. Rheem acting city electrician was fllegal, and claimed that the injunction was only temporary, pending the final de- clsion of the case. In the course of his re- marks Wheeler said that Mr. Rheem was entitled to his salary and would get it in time, whether he received it from the city or not. The vote showed that the combine was thirteen strong, and the veto was not sustained. The appointment by the mayor of Miss E. B. Poppleton to succeed herself as a men ber of the library board was confirmed, as was that of Victor Rosewater to succeed * Willlam S. Curtis, while the appointment of Victor B. Bender was referred to the judiclary committ A resolution was passed $2,250.68 to pay the Barber Asphait pany on its celebrated bill for $14,25 which was railroaded throneh the council some time ago. The '’ the remaining §$12,000 was to be' paid as soon as there was a suflicient fund available. The appropriation ordinance containing this and other items was called up for passage under suspension of the rules, but about this time Hascall became anxious for fear that the mayor's secretary would -return with Mr. Schrum's appointment properly signed, and the combine abruptly forced an adjournment. 1t you decide to take Hood's Sarsaparilla @0 not be Induced to buy any substitute arti- cle.

CONTEMPIUOUS SILENCE. ioner, appropriating Beymour Wilcox H tofuses to Answer Judgo Blatr's Questions and Goes to Jail, A refusal to answer the questions of a Qistrict judge cost Seymour G. Wilcox his lberty yesterday, and unless some further action Is taken he will cceupy a cell in the county fail until he acquires a more definite idea as to the privileges of a court. The trouble arose over a suit which has been hanging fire in district court for nearly a year. On September 26, 1893, Harry Car- tan brought suit against J. C. Wilcox to re- cover the value of a promisory note for $1,062.08. The case was tried before Judge Beott and was decided in favor of the plain- tiff. Judgment was awarded and an ex tion was finally Issued on the property of the defendant. It was at this point that Seymour Wilcox, the son of the an to figure in the case. There were several transfers of property between parent and son about the time the execution was issued, and last week Seymour Wilcox was summoned to' ap- pear in court to answer certain questions in regard to the status of the property. He failed to appear and yesterday a capias was issued. He appeared before Judge Blair to whom the case had been turned over yes- terday afternoon, but firmly declined to be interrogated. He refused to be sworn or to answer the questions of the court, and when reminded that this would be considered a contempt, he declared that the court had no right to catechise him. He persisted In this course and Judge Blair finally called In Deputy Sheriff Rosenzwelg and ordered him to lock up the unwilling witness until such time as he was willing to be more tractable.

Merry - Go - Round the A TALK ON P1ANOS, How $75.00 May Be Saved in Buying a Plano. Up on the fourth floor of Hayden Bros'. big establishment in the music room the other day were two ladies holding an ani- mated conversation regarding the merits and demerits of certain planos. “I don’t see why you should buy your pianos in a department store,” said one. “You know you can buy everything under the sun here besides pianos. Why don’t you 0 to a regular piano store, where they scll nothing but pianos—think of nothing but It scems to me that you would be tisfied.” must remember, Ellen,” said her “that in_this department is ried as large a stock of pianos, organs and musical instruments as can be found in Omaha. It is under the management of a plano man second to nonme in Nebraska—it is closely looked after to the minutest de- tail, and by paying spot cash for stocks, instead of taking them on consignments, as Is the usual custom, they can sell cheaper —yes, much cheaper—than the average dealer, and they only handle the finest grades of planos.” “What grades do they handle?” was asked “The Chickering’—for which Hayden Bros. the sole Omaha agents—"The Lester,” “the usctek,” “‘the Behning’’ and lots of other: “How much cheaper do théy sell than the average dealer?” was the nest question. ““Ordinarily Hayden Bros. save about §75. on each piano bought from them. They buy for spot cash—they have no canvassers —they have uo commissions to pay—the rent and expenses are cheaper than in an ordi- nary music store—Hayden Bros. group all their departments—all stores within them- selves—under one head—one expense—one management, and the customers reap the benefit. The last speaker was right. Not only does the customer reap the benefit on planos, organs and all kinds of musical instruments, but every department in the store offers its ds at prices that are never undersold. From a pound of butter to a suit of clothes —from a pack » of pins to a suit of cham- ber furniture, Hayden Bros. offer the great- est money's worth to be had in Omaha. — The ladics of the Central cliurch fce cream at the High school evening. “You companion, will serve rounds this ——— Will Nee K s Mills, H.
