THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, (ITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Wheeler Flashes a Knife Designed for Oity Prosecutor Bhoemaker's Boalp, DECLARES HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED Alleges He s Allowing Criminals to Go ¥ree by the Wholesale and Neglected His Duty In at Least Two Hun- dred Cases—Other Bnsin, Something of a sensation disrupted the monotony of the regular meeting of the city council last night when Wheeler presented a communication umging the impeachment of City Prosecutor Shoemaker for alleged neglect of duty in failing to prosecute criminals who had been charged with various offenses. Wheeler presented a lengthy document, in which he cited nearly 200 cases in which the records were cited to show that they had been dismissed through the failure of the prosecuting attorney to appear or on his motion to dismiss the case. In thirty-five of these cases the criminals had been found guilty in the police court and had taken an appeal to the district court, where they had never been prosecuted. In summing up the charges the communi- cation stated that the city prosecutor rested under charges that had been so often re- peated that they had become a matter of common notorfety. Such an official should possess a large measure of public confdence and it was due both to the prosecutor and to the city government that the truth or falsity of these charges should be established. It they were true he should be impeached and deposed from office, and in conclusion the petitioner asked the mayor to file the proper charges under the provisions of section 172 of the city charter, Elsasser bobbed up to inquire it it would not be a good plan to look up the record of a former prosecutor named Cochran at the same time. Howell said that if the charges were true Mr. Shoemaker ought to be impeached, but if upon investigation he should be proved as innocent, as was another and a higher official on a recent occasion, he should recelve the same complete vindication that the other official had received. Cahn_hoped that this investigation would not cost the county as much as the previous dnvestigation did, and the communication was referred to the mayor without furtifer dis- cussion. BUNCH OF VETOES ACTED ON. The mayor vetoed a resolution ordering the Board of Public Works to repair Fourteenth street with cinders, on the same grounds on which he has vetoed several previous resolu- tions of the same kind. He claims that it is not advisable to repair wooden block with cinders, and If such repairs are to be made he says gravel is preferable. The veto was not sustained. The resolution directing the Board of Public Works to order the contractor to pro- cced with the repaving of South Tenth street was also vetoed. The reasons were set forth in a communication from the chairman of the Board of Public Works, which stated that the contractor had withdrawn all his expert pavers and taken them to Denver. The board had also found that frozen sand was being used and the work had been ordered stopped on this account. Nearly all the members had #omething to say on the matter. In this case the veto was sustained. A resolution was adopted that the council would sit as a board of equalization on De- cember 21 for the purpose of acting on a number of plans for assessment for street improvements, with which it was presumed the new council would not be familiar. A number of old bills of the Barber As- phalt company for work done in 1891, 1892 and 1893, and @motnting to $151.47, were re- ferred to the judiclary committee. The request of the Board of Fire and Po- lice Commissioners for permission to pui chase 5,000 additional feet of hose was re- ferred to the chairman of the finance com- mittee. 9 MERCHANTS VERSUS PEDDLERS. The petition of certain business firms re- questing the chief of police to keep fruit peddlers away from the streets in front of their stores was submitted to the council by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. This was accompanied by a request from Chief Seavey that the ordinance be amended in accordance with the petition. Both docu- ments were referred to the committee on police, In this connection Wheeler stated that the peddiers did not obstruct the street as much as the merchants themselves. Some of them even leased space in front of their stores to veddlers and derived revenue from space that belonged to the public. If the ordinance was amended it should be framed so that the merchants could not keep their stock on the sidewalk. Cahn said that he knew that one of the firms that had signed the petition had rented a small space in front of its store for $4 a day, and now that it had no tenant it wanted to shut a few poor peddlers from tho streets. At this juncture a petition from the ped- dlers asking that they be allowed the same privileges as heretofore was read and re- ferred to the same committee. President Howell sald that these people had pald for licenses to sell thelr goods, and within the past weok the chief of police had been hound- ing them off the streets and taking them down to the city jail as though they had com- mitted a crime. If such action was to be taken it should be delayed until after the licenses had run out. A request from the city electrician that the council pass a resolution directing the electric light company to furnish him with a list of arc ligths to be used in checking up its bills, was referred to Wheeler to prepare the necessary resolution. The contract for supplylng hay and feed for the city for six months was awarded to W. W. Mace. NOT TO CONSULT THE CHIEF. Cahn offered a resolution requesting that the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners consult with the chief of the fire department and his assistants as to what steps should be taken to reorganize the fire department. This was vigorously opposed by Wheeler, while Howell championed the resolution. He maintained that the chief of the fire depart- ment had just as much right to have some- ‘thing to say In regard to how his depart- ment should be run as the chief of police had to advise measures in the police department. Saunders said that the council had no right to pass such a resolution, which was practicaliy slapping the board in the face Jacobsen also inclined to the opinion that the councll was getting beyond its province, and the resolution was finally laid on the table by @ party vote, the democrats voting in the negative, Hascall sprung the resolution whieh he forecasted at the previous meeting tendering the use of ‘the vacant rooms on the fifth floor of the City Hail to the county for dis- trict court purposes. Wheeler said that the clty had paid the county $300 a month for office room In the county building, and he was opposed to any free gifts in this direction, The resolution was referred. The bond of Beecher Higby as city clerk, which has been in the hands of the judiclary committee for some time, was approved The committee on judiclary reported on the request of W. N. Nazon that the city council take some measure to aid in the re- llet of the settlers in the drouth-stricken districts. It held that the city was not authorized to grant the request, but that if some provision should be made by the leg- islature by which such action shouid be made legal a liberal donation ought to be made. Adopted. The councll refused the request of the Board of Health that the expen of re- moving dead animals during November and December be paid out of the general fund. On recommendation of the committee on police a resolution was adopted directing the chief of police mot to interfere with street gckl\cn untll some further action was taken the council, The following ordinances were passed: Gen- eral appropriation ordinance; changing grade of * Mason street from Twenty-eighth to ‘Twenty-ninth street; ordering grading in dis- triet No, 115; ordering grading of Thirty- sireet frora Dodge to Davenport street; 18sue of bonds for various street im- provement districts; levying special tax for sldewalk construction. The council adjourned to Thursday night. et =Sl Salt rheum with its intense Itching, dry, hot skin is cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, be- cause it purifies the blood. bnatco ol Crowds at the Recelver's Sale.

WHAT IT HAS DONE AND HOPES TO DO Review of Its Endeavors In the City and in the State—Result of Election of Ufcers—Wants Its Own Bullding. The eleventh annual Women's Christian was held yesterday. evening were occupied, the former belng taken up with the business session and the latter with a program of music and addresses. The business meeting was held in the Commerclal club rooms, and this was chiefly taken up with routine business—listening to annual reports and the president’s and with the election of cflicers. The reports showed that the association was in an excel- lent cendition. The report of the treasurer was especlally encouraging, from the fact that it showed that the association was en- tirely out of debt and that there was a slight balance In the treasury. Many of the mem- bers had confidently expected that a deficit would be discovered on ace-unt of the hard times. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Mrs. meeting of the assoclation of Omaha Bcth afterncon and F. M. Ford; first vice pres- ident, Mrs. H. J. Penfold; sécond vice pres- ident, Mrs. J. B. Jardine; third vice pres- ident, Mrs. Thomas McCague; fourth vice president, Mrs, F Short; recording secre- tary, Miss L. 8. McCague; corresponding sec- retary, Mrs. J. G. Haines; treasurer, Mrs, George Tilden; trustees, Mesdames H. Luding- ton, Cadet Taylor, Anglin, O. H. Pratt, W. B. Taylor, E. E. Elliott, C. T. Morton, Wil- llam Fleming, A Hopkins, Wil- liam Parmelee, H. M. Clayton and Mjsses F. E. Collier and Ella Bracken; honorary trus- tees, Mrs. J. J. McLain, Mrs. P. L. Perine. After the, election of officers brief talks were made by Mrs. Springer of St. Louis, president of the international board, Mrs. Stiere of Lincoln, and Mrs. Phelps, president of the Women's Christian association of Coun- cil Bluffs In the evening a large audience gathered in the rooms of theWoman's club to listen to the program of addresses and music. The principal address of the evening was that of Mrs. Springer. She outlined the work that the assoclation was doing for women from infancy to old age. Children are cared for while their mothers are work ing for their daily bread. When the girls are ready for the training school they are taught in that schcol everything that a woman can do. Another department looks out for the women that have sinned and attempts to lead them back to an honorable life. Then there are homes for aged women and some for both aged men and women, and hospitals that chiefly care for women and children. The travelers' aid department has also done a_great deal of good. Mrs. Springer predicted that Omaha would, in a comparatively short time, have an association building that would bo a credit to the city and urged the business men “to go decp down Into their pockets" to_help on the enterprise. Mrs. Ford said that she intended to look upon the dark side of Omaha. There was a painful indifference exhibited by the women of the city toward the work. Although the Young Women's Christian association had r 700 members and the Woman's club had , the Women's Christian association never had more than elghty-three. This showed that women joined the two former assoclations simply for the entertainment that they af- forded, and that they did not realize the true privilege and importance of the wark. There was a painful lack of building in the city for charitable purposes. In her talk Mrs. Haines said that the asso- clation had started in with a single $5 dona- tion. Now it owned property that was valued at over $12,600. Mrs. Springer said that the entire property owned by the association in this country was valued at over $4,000,000. The remainder of the addresses were all interesting, and the music was very well ren- dered. Mrs. P, L. Perine spoke about the good done at the Old Ladies' Home, and Mrs. Tracy of the lodging house and travelers' aid work. Mrs. Welch of Lincoln described the work being generally done in Nebraska, Mrs. Peattie made a_commendatory address, giving an outsider's view, and Miss McCarthy spoke of the Young Women's Christian association. Miss Stevens and Miss Holtorft rendered beautiful piano solos, and vocal solos were sung very sweetly by Mrs, Charles Drexel and Mrs. Cook. A violin duet by Messrs, address— | Mrs. Ely and MiseiJohns were heard with the usual evidendes-of hearty appreciation. ——ae— Oregon KidneyTea cures all kidney trou- bles. Trial size, 85'Bents.
