T CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS | Blectric Light Frices Take a Jump Upwaid 28 8hown by Bids Received. MAYOR'S FLAN RESPECTING REGISTRARS President Cable Again Ad Union Depot Matter— City Hali ke, ness T ses Caution in « Moncy for Other Hus od airs e According to counell meeting last bids opened at the city night the cost of ducing el lights has materially in ereased during the past few weeks. Th previous bids were for $57.50, $95 and $111.50 per light per spectively, but last night the submitted was $120. There were only bidders in the field The Thomson-Houston « bid was contained in three or four and stated that tle bidders would fur lights for $130 each per r for the pre- seribed term of thre dating from January 1, 18 ) mention made of the quality pacity of the lights nor of the number that should be furnished The Citizens' Electric Light and Power company offered to furnish from 200 to 400 lights 5 volts and 9.5 amperes for $135 each per year. The bids were referred to the committee on gas and electric light over the protest of Ilsasser, who contended that the bids should be rejected and a readvertise- ment_ordered called attention 1o the difference between these bids and those previously submitted and declared that if these were the best terms that the city could obtain he was in favor of the construction of an eleetric light plant by the city UNEMPLOYED FOR REGISTRARS. The following communication from the mayor was placed on file with the under standing that the registrars should be ap- pointed not later than the second mecting in September 1 wish to ind__ the that the statutes of Nebraska it the duty of the council to woint each in September, three sup, sors of registration in each’ clection di and there are several points in eon- tion with this matter to which I wish to invite the sjal attention of the mem- bers of the council. The sweeping changes which have made in the election districts will une edly cause a great deal of confusion in the appolntment of registrars, and the appoint ments should be made at the first meeting in September, so that errors may e di covered and corrected before the time for the registration begins Tt is well known that thore are of men out of oyment in this city, and would sujz At none but unemployed rried men with familics be appointed to the itions. The eity or county au- thorities will undoubtedly be compelled to assist the unemployed during the coming Winter, and the $i5 which cach registrar will receive will be of material assistance to these people, and it should ba made to serve that purpose. Many of these men are good clerks and experts with the pen, re can be no excuse for the appoint: nt of Ignorant and incompetent persc as registrars. In former years many pe sons have been appointed to these positions at the last m t who were scarcely able to read . but I hereby give notic that 1 tly examine all appoint- ees with refere to their qualifications In these branches, and shall refuse to prove any who are not reasonably pro- ficient. Tho mayor returned without approval resolution providing for the surfacing cinders of the wooden pavement on Bigh teenth street from Harney to St. Mary's avenue. His objections were that the pave- ment was no worse than on other streets which were paved wilh wooden blocks and that it repaving was necessary it should be done in- the usual y at the expense of the ptoperty owners and not paid out of the road fund, as was contemplated the resolution. The veto was sustained The mayor alss vetoed the ordinance pro- viding for the gradng of the alley betwee Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh streets from Poppleton avenue to Hickory street and._the veto was sustained. A resolution ordering a gas lamp placed at Forty-third and Burt strects was vetoed on the ground of a lack of funds, and this veto was nlux sustained. A communication from ing attention to the dangercus condition of the Sixteentth street viaduct and recom- mending that it be closed until the pending repairs were completed was referred to the committee on viaducts and railways and the city attorney, with power to act. CABLE'S WARNING. The mayor transmitted a letter from Presi- dent R. R. Cable of the Chicago, Rock Is- land & Pacific railroad relative to the recent council resolution ordering the city attorn to take the necessary steps to compel the completion of the union depot. President Cable called the attention of the mayor and councll to his previous communications, in which he had urged that the city should re- serve such rights as would insure its being able to let in any other roads that might eventually require ingress to the city. The communication was referred to the city at- torney and the committee on viaducts and railways The request of the members of the Board of Public Works for leave of absences to attend the convention of the public works departments of the various citles at Brooklyn, beginning September 19, was re terred for one week. Fire Chief Galligan called the attention of the council to the fact that in many subur- ban districts the fire hydrants are so con- cealed by we:ds that it is difficult for the firemen to find them without more or less delay. A motion to turn the chain gang loose on these districts prevailed A petition for the paving of Tenth street from Mason to Willlams streets was re- ferred. The by re of 12 pense pro- tric year bid two pany lines mply was or ¢ asser council make ap- thousands the with by Mayor Bemis call- Roard of Public Works was slution to repsir the s.dewalk Farnam street and charge against the abutting property. WILL TAKE MORE MONEY. A request for an additional appropriation of $250 with which to complete the repairs on the roof of the city hall was referred for investigation. When the repairs were first determined on it was estimated that $200 would cover the expense, but $500 was ap propriated, in order to avoid the possibility of a def y. Now it Is reported that $650 has been expended, and that $100 additicnal will be required The contracts for cosl for the ensuing year were awarded as follows on recommendation of the committee: Hard coal, Amer.can Fuel c'mpany, $7.50 per ton; Whitebreast coal, in half ton lots, for voting booths, Nebraska Fuel company, $1.60 per half ton; Wedr steam coal, D. T. Mount, $2.25 per ton A watering trough was ordered placed at Forty-fourth and Leavenworth streets and a drink'ng fountain at Twenty-fourth and Lake. These and other watering trough res olutions were ad-pted over the protest of a minority, who maintained that it would now be imp-ssible to put in the connections before the weter was shut off and that the ex- penditure at this time was a useless waste of money. Am:ng the ordinances introduced was one providing for filling vacancies In elective offices of the city by appaintment of the mayor and confirmation by the council, as provided by the charter. Andther new ordi nance provided for the submission to the yoters of the city of a proposition to issu $100,000 in bonds for the purpose of con structing subwsys under the main streets o the ety. directed in front the ex- s s i, To Cleans the System.

Neither of the stations Is as authorized to pay money orders, although Posimaster Clarkson hopes within the coming year to have both placed in charge of a regular superintendent, fully authorized to transact all postofiice business. At station A the clerk in charge is selling from $20 to $25 worth of stamps per day. Since (he station was established he has fssued more than 300 money orders, and he delivers from 1,200 to 1,500 letters per day, and something like 800 newspapers and packages. At station B the stamp sales averuge $20 per while about 1,000 lctters and 600 newspapers are distributed deily. The mail is colleet:d and distributed tlic stations by fourteen carriers, efght at station A and sIx at station B. HOW THE MAIL IS HANDLED. Of course, all mail comes first to the cen- tral postofice at Fifteenth and Dodge From there it Is distributed to th by the contractor, who also collects th at the stations and at the main of delivers it to the mail trains at th union depots. Mail is sent to the stations and taken from the stations to the trains four times per day, and all carriers start from the main office and from the station the same tim Contractor Slavin work of day hag proven an un- living in the reach of the within per day instead of two They 1y as who carries the Omaha mails to and from all (rains, is the only man who s not feeling particularly enthusiastic over the branch postoffice system. Under his contract, signed last Janmary, he was re- quired to perform any additional service that might be required of him during the life of his contract. He never dreamed of the es- tablishment of branch postoffices and conse- quently his bid for the work was considera- bly lower than it was four years before. The government now requires him to deliver all mail to the substations and to transport the mail from the substations to tl.e trains with- out extra tompensation. The Inc 4 work requires the use of two additional mail wagons with two men and the horscs, Con- tractor Slavin is a Kansas City man and the enmity between the two rival Missourl river cities has taken on an added bitterness since the government piled the additional work upon his shoulders. The incident only proves that a Kansas City man who neglects to meke provision for the rapid growth of Omaha makes a serious mistake. stmaster Clarkson hopes lo sccure the establishment of at least one more branch in Omaha in the ncar future. He be- es that a branch station should be located on Walnut Hill, and also states that a sta tion on South Thirteenth street in the vic Iiams or Dorcas would be of de cided advantage to the residents of that quar- ter of the city. At present he maintains a stamp agency at Walnut Hill, but this hardly sts the requirements of that growing suburb, The establishment of the two stations has the government but a small additional enditure. The only ense is for the rent of the offices and the employment of one lork in charge for each station, UNCLE SAW'S CASH BBooks That Balance to a Fraction of a Cent—Queer Facts.

That man is Postmaster Clarkson, and he is interested in the deficiency bill to the extent of $20.11, with no interest on the amount coming his Interested President to the Clarkson is th> disbursing 0([\14 r for the railw postal clerks running in and out of Omaha west. As such officer he pays each month the amount due the regular clerks, as well as the amounts due the extra or 21 men. According to th ws of the United States the fiscal year s June 30 of each year, All money due an employe must be paid out of the fund appropriate: for th> current fiscal year Last year Postmaster Clarkson received an official order in due form from the second assistaut postmaster general to pay to John Smith, special postal clerk, the amount due from June 20 to July 14 This notice was rec ived on July 16. Before the mone cculd be paid a second order was necessary, this time from the superintendent of the railway mail service at Chicago. The second notic came to hand July 20 and John Smith got his money. Major Clarkson paid the moncy in two checks, taking two vouchers, one for the amount due from June 20 to June 30 inclusive and the other for the amount due from July 1 to uly 14 The auditor at Washington notified Major Clarkson that he had pald out money with- out authority of law nd that he stood charged upon Uncle Sam's books with $20.11 that being the amount paid to John Smith for services from June 20 to June 30. Major Clarkson paid the money on the written order of the second assistant postmaster general and of the superintendent of the railway mail service. After a great deal of correspondence the Postoffice de- partment agreed to put the amount in the deficlency appropriation bill, and so after a lapse of more than a year Omaha's post- mastcr has been reimbursed for money he was required to pay out, for which the gov- ernment was justly indebted and which he had every warrant in law to pay Major Clarkson related the story to The Bee only to illustrate the scrupulous exact- ness with which the government obeys the law to the very letter. Uncle Sam is one of the hardest taskmasters in the world. He has a system of accounts entirely his own. or instance, an ordinary employer of help, paying a man say $1,200 per annum, would give the man employed $100-at the end of each calendar month. But Uncle Sam does not do business that w If he pays a clerk $1,200 per year e pays him more for the month of January with its thirty: e da than he does for the month of June with its thirty days; and the rate for the month of February is much smaller than for the month of Jun Then, too, If a man is entitled to one day's compensation he receives less for the work If he happens to do it on a day in February than if he shculd perform exactly the same service on a day in April. Not only that, but the gov- ernment will divide a day in two parts if necessary to save a fraction of a cent in so doing, and If at the end of the year the Wisbursing officer should be a cent out of the way he and his bondsmen are held through all eternity for that cent. And the officer's accounts are held up until that cent is made good. If the cent happens to be in favor of the disbursing officer the government will make just as much fuss over the matter, and if neccessary will go te the length of passing a special act of congress to make good that cent, el s Thousanis of new patrons hiave taken Hood's Sarsaparilla this season and realized its benefit in blood purified and strength restored. e New Eleciric Incorporation.

There is & ruction between the owners of the fair grounds at Sherman avenue and Commercial street and the present occu- pants which has been taken into the courts in the form of an injunction suit by which the owners seek to rccover the use of the grounds long enough to permit the Douglas County Agricultural soclety to hold the annual exposition. Since November 15, 18! the premises in controversy have bzen cc cupied by Patrick H. and Frank Kinney, who leased them from the Omaha Driving Park assoclation, which is the ostensible owner. According to the terms of the lease the association reserved the use of the grounds for twenty days in each year, for the use of the agricultural society at ‘such time as it should According fo the petition filed in district court yesterday the Kinney Bros. refused point blank to allow the agricultural society to occupy the grounds this year. It is asserted that affer the managers of the exposition had made all arrangements for the fair to be held between August 27 and Sep tember 12, and had advertised the project liberally, the occupants of the grounds stepped In and threw cold water on the scheme by their refusal to allow the grounds to be used for that purpose. Representing that the action of the Kinney brothers, if sustained, would work a great hardship to the fair association and to the public, wh would be deprived of the benefits result- ing from the expdsition, the courts have been asked to grant an injunction to restrain Kinney Bros. fram dmterfering with the fair asscciation in the use of the grounds. Judge cott granted a temporary restraining order and the bearing of the application for a per- manent injunction . was set for Saturday morning, September 1. In discussing the: trouble over the use of the grounds, Mr. ILT. Mount said that the right cf the agrieultural society to the use of the premises was clearly defined in the fease, and that thesewners of the lease had no possible right todeprive them of In his opinion the Kinmeys were simply trylng to get even for some difficulty over the pay ment of rent, and the courts would readily confirm the claimoof the society. e IS IT JOB/WILLIAMS? torFuly Identify the Alleged Polsoner of a Family. Some days ago the chief of police received information from PBrimgar, Ia., that a was being held there who answered the de- scription of Joe Willlams, the colored man who was accused of polsoning the Ewing family during the winter of 1892 and then skipping out before he could be gathered into the clutches of the law. After the in- formation reached this city the chief wrote to the Primgar officials asking for a photo- graph of the man arrested as the suspect Monday the picture came and was at once exhibited to Mrs. Willlams, who was unable to make an identification, though in some re- spects she said the face resembled that of Ler husband. The officers are now all at gea_apd talk of sending Mrs. Willams up o Primgar fcf the purbose of allowing her to ascertain if' the man is the murderer.
