The city council held a special meeting last evening and In spite of the hot weather managed transact several Interesting ftems of business of the principal of which was to arrange for the first junket the council has taken at the expense of the city for several years. The junket begin next Thursday, when the aldermen will leave for St. Joseph, Mo., for the ostensibie purpose of inspecting the sewer system of that city. It s supposed that this trip is intended to have some bearing on the future action with reference to the proposed changing of Indian creek into a closed sewer from Bryant to Mynster street. The committee of the whole reported favor- ing the purchase of three new horses for the fire department and the sale of the patrol team, which are hardly to the demands made upon them. It recom- mended that the matter of passing an ordi- nance regulating the width of tires on the wheels of traffic wagons be referred to a special committee of three, th instructions to correspond with other cities and ascertain what regulations are in vogue there. It was adopted. The bill of the electric light company for May and June, to which objection was raised at the last meeting by Alderman Shubert, was brought out of the basket, together with the recommendation of the committee to which it was referred. The committee had found that the police had reported the lights out 1,112 hours more than the light company, and recommended that a_corresponding do- duction be made from the amount to be paid the company. It also recommended that the cost of removing two arc lights be re- duced from $22 to $10. Both were adopted, The police commission, which investigated the cuse of Colonel Jake 8houp, the pou dmas- ter, recommended that the colonel be re- tained, but that he be dismissed instanter if he ever appeared on the street again in an intoxicated condition, The report was adopted. The city marshal was Instructed to order all rallways having tracks on Seventh street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth avenues, to_plank their tracks within twenty days. The ordinance regulating public weighing, after several weeks of discussion and alter- ation, was finally passed under a suspension of the rules. It provides that all public welghing is to be done under the supervision of the city weighmaster. All persons doing public weighing must procure blank tickets from the city at $3 per 100, half of this amount to go to the city and the other half to the welghmaster, who is required to test all public scales in the city at least once a month. Cit; to one e to equal also Attorney Hazelton made a report with reference to the city’s right to require the Omaha & Couacil Bluffs Bridge company to run its Omaha trains around the Pierce street loop. In looking over the ordinances of 1868 and 1886, by which the company ac- quired its right to operate, he found no ex- press stipulation as to where the company was to run its trains, but he did find in the 1886 ordinance a clause binding the company to comply with “any other ordinance here after passed for the regulation of the use by the company of the rights granted herein and not in conflict herewith.” This clause, to- gether with the inherent power of the coun cil to pass any ordinance making reasonable regulations for the comfort, safety and wel- faro of the public, give all the authority the council needs to deal with this question. The reasonableness of the ordinances, he further sald, was not to be determined by the expense to the company, but merely by the convenience of the public. The opinion was filed, and the representatives of the eastern part’ of the city went home with satisfied looks on thelr fac Bids were opened for sidewalk, and Wick- ham Bros. were found to be the lowest bid- ders on four, five and six-foot brick sidewalk, their prices being as follows: Four-foot, cash, cents; certificates, 81 cents; five-foot, cash, cents; certificates, 27 cents; six-foot, cash 30 cents; certificates, 31 cents. City Engineer Btnyre was instructed to tabulate the bids and another meeting of the council will be held this evening to let contracts. Thomas Officer requested the council to knock the south side of Avenue G from Thir- teenth to Fourteenth out of the sidewalk ordinance, because the property beyond was nothing but prairie. His request was referred to a commitee consisting of Aldermen Shu- bert, Greenshields and Brewick. On_motion of Alderman Rishton the city marshal was instructed to notify property owners throughout the city to cut the weeds on their premises. On motion of Alderman Shubert the city engineer was instructed to examine the gravel on the city property near Big lake ani deter- mine whether or not it would be suitable for use in repairing the Lower Broadway paving. H. 8. Jordan and Chris Carlson were given permits to run saloons at the corner of Broad- way and Ninth street and at 1615 Broadway. A petition from property owners asking for a fire alarm box at the corner of Fourth street and Twenty-first avenue was referred to the fire committee, The city electrician, James Bradley, stated that he unable to keep the fire alarm boxes in proper shape without assistance. The system now consists of fifty miles of wire, thirty-one boxes and fifty other appliances, and he thought an extra man was absolutely necessary. His request was referred to the committee on fire and lights. Don't let a glft invelgle you into buying a cheap alum or ammonta baking powder.

Van Orman have squatted on some of the land be- longing to the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company at Cut Off. They claim it is still government property, and have pre-empted it, putting up a small shanty Sunday. They moved a bed and chair into it and were pre- pared to hold the fort. But yesterday morn- ing a gang of the Terminal company's men appeared on the scene, armed with pick- axes, and in a short time the shanty was knocked to kingdom come. Superintendent Harrls of the company paid a visit to the spot, but had to leave rather suddenly on ac- count of the appearance of Van Orman with a large revolver in his hand. After destroy- ing the house the Terminal people filed infor- mations charging the three men with tres- pass, and they will have a hearing before Justice Vien this afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Lucius Wells, of Deere, Wells & Co., and a crowd of newspaper men watched the test- ing of a new plow yesterday afterncon, and while it was an event of considerable inter- est to the horny-handed pencil shovers, it will undeubtedly prove of lasting benefit to the farmers of Iowa and Nebraska and the world. It is a little 0dd, when you come to think of it, that there has been no change in the principle of the plow since Father Adam’s time. The sharpened forked stick has s‘mply been replaced with the steel shear and mould- oard. Indirectly, Hon. J. Sterling Morton, secretary of agriculture, is responsible for the creation of the plow tested yesterday. In a recent speech the thought occurred to him that it was about time to try some other principle, and he took occasion to point out the fact ‘that millions of acres of fine farming lands had been ruined by the usual style of plowing, which cut a furrow a few inches deep and left the loose dirt resting on a hard smoothly cut foundation, where it could be washed away, or dry out like dust on a street pavement. The plow that the Deere people brought out to meet the secretar ideas is a remarkable novelty, and the first farmer that gets it can worship it without the sin of idolatry. The teswwas made in a little stub- ble fleld north of Twenty-fifth street. The spectators saw two ordinary horses pulling a small compact machine that was cutting a wide swath in the black dirt and pulveriz- ing it to the depth of nearly three times that reached by the old plows. A concave steel disc, about the size of a bicycle wheel, was rolling along and throwing out the dirt like a ditching machine, while back of it a steel tongue was tearing *up the earth fourteen inches below the surface. There was no shear, mouldboard or “cutter, but the rolling disc moving freely and set at an angle, was doing the work, rcutting a furrow twenty inches wide and fourteen deep, a feat that could o be accomplished in the old way by two teams and a sub-soil plow, making a saving in draught of 60 per cent, There is no friction The rolling disc seems to cut the earth and pry it out of the furrow, pulverizing it most thoroughly. The test was highly satisfactory Wells and_those personally made the old farmers tht had been attracted open their eyes in unfelgned astonishment, The plow will be exhibited at the Nebra state fair, where it will undoubtedly create a sensation.

Keeline, Mr. Pokorny, Israel Frank of Omaha, and Gus Hendricks, who acted as judges for the beef killing contest at the butchers' picnic Sunday, postponed their decision until yesterday. Mike Remer of Swift's and Frank Noonan of Cudahy's were the contestants, and each had some claim to the first prize. Remer did his work in the better manner, swinging his knife with an ease and grace that would have done credit to a surgeon of twenty years' experience, and the judges decided that he scored the most points. But he finished the job in five minutes and twenty seconds, while Noonan beat his fifteen seconds. Noonan's work, however, was marred by several little technical defects which were apparent to the experts In the crowd. He failed to Kill his beet at the first blow, as Remer did, and had to keep batting away until the animal finally caught the sledge hammer in the right spot and rolled over, a corpse. He did the skinning more rap'd'y than did Remer, but there were several slashes In the hide which the judges decided ought not to have been there. It was decided that a com- promise should be entered into, and the prize be divided between the confestants, Don't differ with the foremost cooks—they all use and endorse the peerless baking pow- der of the century—Dr. Price’ Only » Frieadly sult, Ezra Swigart and Amos Clark, two able- bodied men whose families have been given ald recently by the overseer of the poor, found time yesterday to go to law about an old offense, alleged to have been committed by Clark five years ago. In 1891 Swigart flled an information in a justice court charg- ing Clark with stealing some household furniture, but the warrant was never served, Clark leaving about that time for Nebraska. But a couple of months ago he returned, and to all appearances Swigart harbored no grudge against him, for they began farming a little tract of land near the edge of Potta- wattamie and Mills countles. Swigart was fur- nished seed corn and potatoes at the expense of the county by order of the supervisors, but he never neglected to send in his monthly bill for household expenses to Overseer Swearingen. Clark, Who was to get a share of the proceeds of the farm, also sent in a request for aid frequently, but Swearingen refused him on the ground that |he‘\h? wi of Mrs. | s0_recently Some disagreement from Nebraska. s hd¥' now arisen be- tween them, it seems, over the division of the profits, for Swigart hus’ fesurrected his old charge and had Clatk arrested yester- day. Mr. Swearingen Is of the opinion that the arrest s the result of a put up job be- tween the two men. Clark's requests for money and provisions were refused so long as he was out and around, but now that he is in jail the condition of his family is 50 pitiable that the sympatbies of the over- er have been aroused and he gave Mrs, Clark the much desired order on the grocer yesterday. This is only one of half,a dozen: court cases, Mr. Swearingen gays, in which county paupers have been implicated recently. The county acts as a good father and provides them with all the necessaries of life with- out their turning a hand. They consequently have all the time they need for picking quarrels with one another, and thus pro- vide light amusement for ' themselves, the county footing the bills. Clark's case Is to be tried in Justice Vien's court Friday Grocers try to sell “Just as good” baking powder as Dr. Price’s because of greater profit. None can_equal Dr. Price's. Griham I)o!orm ml 1o Commit Saleide. William D. Graham, an old soldier whose domestic troubles have been aired at some length in the newspapers, tried to climb the golden stair last evening with th assistance of a small bottle of laudanum A short time ago he was arrested on the charge of bigamy, and the case is still pend- ing against him in one of the justice courts. He went to his home on Eighth street and Twelfth avenue yesterday afternoon with the fixed determination to put an end to his grief. He had a bottle of laudanum in his and, and waved it at his wife, informing her that his hour had come. He then uncorked the flask and took a drink, but before he could get a full dose down his esophagus she grabbed it away from him and ran. William did not care suicide badly enough to chase her and take the bottle away from her. Mrs. Graham came to town and filed an Information charging her husband with threatening to commit a public offense. He was arrested and taken to the city jail. There he made another high tragedy move.

DETROIT, Mich,, July 15.—A special to the News from Toronto, Ont., say Found buried in the cellar of the house, 16 St. Vin- cent street, this afternoon were the bodies of Alice and Nellle, the two missing daughters of Benjamin F. Pitzel. Detectives Cuddy of Toronto and Geyer of Philadelphia made the discovery, and all doubts as to their fate have been set at rest. It is now a matter almost beyond doubt that H. H. Holmes, when here last October, deliberately murdered the pair, and thus rid himself of two troublesome young beings, after he had murdered their father in Philadelphia, The inquiries begun by the police led the knowledge that Holmes and the children lived at the house in question and a search When they reached the cellar it appeared te the dete that something had disturbed the cellar floor, and they began to dig. A short distance below the surface they came across the arm and a portion of the head of one of the little murdered girl: Further work soon revealed the entire boiy, not only of the first, but of her sister. They were both naked. The last trace the officers had of the children was at Detroit. Holmes secured possession of Alice, aged 13, first aking her to Philadelphia to identify her father's body. Then he went to St Louis and told the mother that he had put Howard and Nellie in a good school in Indianapolis. This was on September 28, 1894, Mrs. Pitzel received two letters from Holmes in Indianapolis and acting on his advice she went to her par:nts' home in Illinois. Becoming worried about the children, she went to Chicago, where she received word from Holmes to go to Detroit. She met him in that city and de- manded the children, but was induced to £0 With him to Toronto and then to Buriing- ton, Vt. So far as known the boy was never seen in Detroit. TORONTO, July 15.—There were no traces of vialence on the bodles, and it is thought Holmes decoyed the children into a trunk under some pretext and took them to the house. Then gas was inserted by means of a tube through a small hole. The trunk was found with a hole In it nearly covered over with a strap tacked down, where the tube had been inserted.
