Viewed from whatever stand- point we may Judge Maxwell, who hus passed from this earth forever, was a (ruly great man. He was loved and admired s a cltfzen by nearly evervone and had but few if any enemies. His personailty has passed from us never to return, but he still lives with us in spirit, and the work that he has left behind and his many noble achievements are such that he will e re- membered for g tlons after his deat In the early period of the state’s history he was judge of the distsict in which | now reside.

The house conferees have announced that the house will stand by them In antagonizing this amendment; which contemplates the reclamation of arid lands of the west and along the lines suggested by the Commer- oial club of Omaha. The fght on the floor will probably be led by Congressman Newlands of Nevada, but they will be as sisted by western representatives, who know the temper of their constituents and realize what the amendments mean. The conference committee will report five amendments upon which they canuot ngree and ask their respective houses for further Instructions, Fewer Revenue Districts. Congressmen Gamble and Burke today had a conference with the commissioner of internal revenue to urge favorable con- sideration of the proposed plan to consoli- date North and South Dakota into one revenue collection district. The representa- tives urged that the receipts in the D kotas justified the consolidatign and thac the location of a collector at a central point in one of the two states would be more convenient for the business affgcted than Omaha, which is now headquarters for the district embracing the Dakotas. The commissioner did not Indicate what ac- tion he would take on the recommendation, but internal revenue officials say it is the policy of the office to diminish rather than increase the number of internal revenue distriots. : Plnces in Regular Army. Recommendations have been filed by Representatives Gamble and Burke for the appointment of John C. Fox of Sloux Fall 8. D, for a place as assistant quarter- master in the regular army.

Newl Irrigation B Representative Wilson of Idaho reported from the committee on irrigation the Newlands bill, providing for irrigation of arld lands of the west. Wilson, Newlands, King, Bell and others from the arid reglon have been industriously working for the last two months to secure favorable action by the committee of the house upon this measure, Senator Hausbrough has prepared and se- cured favorable action upon a similar course in the senate. It remains to be seen whether the speaker will recognize anyone to secure consideration for the bill at this sesslon, but the fact that the republican platform adopted in Philadelphia earnestly approves irrigation legislation affords a reason why the speaker should mct.

Contrary to expectations the city counoil at its meeting last night failed to pass the ordinance introduced authorizing the Chl- cago & Northwestern railroad to construct @ steel viaduct across the tracks at Thirty- sixth street. The ordinance in question was réad for the first time xud referred to the judtolary committee and there it will rest for at least another week Judge Mont- gomery, representing the Elkhorn, urged the necessity for the immediate passage of the ordinance, as the rallroad company is anxious to commence work on the structure on March 1 in order that grading operations may be commenced at the earliest possible moment. The delay in this matter, es- pecially after most of the members of the council had agreed to the passage of the ordinance, caused considerable surprise, Claims for damaegs alleged to have been caused by smallpox are coming in with a regularity which is surprising. Persons whose houses were used for the lodgement of patients are hobbing up with claims for everything ffom a padlock to a palr of stockings. Even overcoats are included in some of the claims. Two claimants were represented by Judge Breen, who urged an early settlement {n order to avoid litiga- tion. He rehearsed the trials and tribula- tions of his clfents at considerable length and when he closed Councllman August Miller asked to be heard. Mr. Miller is chairman of the charity committes and personally Investigated the claims. He sald that in his opinion some of the claims presented were merely attempts to hold up the city treasury. At the request of Presi- dent Adkins, who occupied the chair, Miller will make a detailed report to the council shortly of the smallpox cases. County Clerk Haverly sent in a commu- nication asking that the council appoint a committee to confer with the county com- missioners in regard to the amount due the county from the city for feeding prisoners, etc. At the suggestion of Johnston a com: mittee composed of Adkins, Johnston and Martin was named to attend the conference as representatives of the city. Dvorak wanted - to have the fire and water committee instructed to purchase a team of horses and harness for fire hall No. 3, but as the motion was considered too broad, no maximum price being named, the clerk was instructed to advertise for bids for horses and harnes: The council will meet on March 2 and 4 as a board of equalization for the pur- pose of equallzing the taxes on sewer dis- tricts Nos 108, 109 and 110. At the suggestion of Martin the city at- torney will draft an ordinance providing for the opening of Y street from Railroad avenue across the Union Pacific tracks, and also across the Rock Island tracks at Twenty-fifth street. An expert accountant will be employed to check over the books of the city tre urer and other officials. This is a regular annual occurrence. City Attorney Lambert's opinion as to the rights of the council to cancel taxes was placed on-file after reading. The taxes on the property occupled by the South Omaha hospital were canceled as per request of Mrs. C. L. Talbot, sec- retary of the assoctation. Members of the finance committee will look around this week and see what can be done about disposing of the $0,000 refund- ing_bonds. Clerk Shrigley was !nstructed to d a warrant in“the sum of $938 to satisty the judgment obtained by J. M. Toblas for the construction of the Second ward fire hall. After a number of washoutd had been or- dered filled and the street commissioner directed to repair some sidewalks the coun- cil adjourned for one week. Corrigan School Accepted. Last night's session of the Board of Edu- cation was taken up almost entirely with a discussion of the new Corrigan school. At the regular meeting of the board held Feb- ruary 4 Contractor Bock notified the board that he would be ready to turn the building over to the district on February 18, and the meeting last evening was principally for the purpose of considering the watter. L. A. Davis, architect for the board, re- ported that the building was complete, with possibly the exception of repalrs, which might amount to $25. Attention was called by the architect to the fact that the board in the sum of $157 for extra work and material furnished. Member Brennan objected to the charge made for extras, asserting that the contract for the bullding expired on January §, and by its terms the contractor was to pay the board $10 for each day's delay In the completion of the atructure after that date. It was finally agreed that the board would accept the bullding and pay to the contractor the sum of $1,800, and upon the completion of the repairs suggested by the architect pay the remaining $30. Superintendent Wolfe sent in a request for 5,000 information cards and report cards to be used by the principal of the High school. Teachers' examinations will be held on June 18, 19 and 20.

It is expected that work will commeace ou Apri Today quite & number of business men and a sprinkling of politicians will go to Lincoln to attend a meeting called by the committee having the South Omaba charter in charge. As stated by Representatives Wilcox and Hunt on Sunday, quite a num- ber of awmendfnents have been made to the charter as originally drafted, and these amendments will ve discussed. The legis- lative committee will meet the delegations from the Magic City and endeavor to find out just what s wanted by ‘the people of thig city. The democrats naturally want an [ electfon, while Mayor Kelly and his fol lowers think that an election should deferred until the terms of the present in cumbents expire.
