10 THE ()\l A\HA DAI L\ BEE: FREICHT RATES CUT FICURE Beoretary Utt Points Out Omaha's Advan- tage on Indian Bupplies. LOCAL MEN EXPECT SOME CONTRACTS ¥ to Specify Omaha Delivery for Drugs Likely Bring Ahout Some Activity Washing- ton Oficinl Cirel fure John E. Utt, secretary of the Commercial club, retuined from Chicago, where he went to be present at the opening of bids for Indian supplies. “The question of freights seemed to be one in which Omaha was more deeply in- terested than anything else after the fig- ures had been submitted,” sald he. “When 1 met the commissioner of Indian supplies 1 told him that everything else being equal the bids of the Omaha partiar would be the most favorable for the government on ac- count of the lower rate from this city to the larger number of Indlan reservations in the west. He seemed to doubt this state- ment, 8o 1 eecured from the agents of the different railroad companies a statement showing the rates from Chicago and other points and from, Omaba to the different reservations. This statement hore out my contention, and I then had another inter- view with Mr. Jones. When presented with the figures he seemed surprised and ad- mitted that'the question of freight rates would have considerable to do with the let- ting of contracts, especially when bids will be close. The result of the bidding eannot be known for rome time, but Omaha was well represented and we all hope that local bidders will secure awards.” The present letting of bids 1s likely to cause some stir in Washington over the tailure of the Indian commissioner to epecify Omaha delivery on drugs this year. In 1897 and again in 1898 the Richardson Drug company of this city secured the con- tract for the sale of drugs to the Indians. Last year when the contracts were adver- tised Omaha delivery of drugs was not pro- vided for. Commissioner Jones said that a change could not then be made, but that he would specify Omaba delivery this year. The matter was referred to Congressman Mercer, who eald that he would see that Omaha delivery was specified this vear, but when the specifications were made no Omaha delivery was specified. Again the matter was called to the attention of the commissioner and again he said that 1t was too late, but he would do better in 1803. Senator Millard heard of the matter and sent to Omaha for a statement of the en- tire matter with the intention of bringing It before the Indian bureau or the Interfor department for the purpose of seeing that Omaha interests are protected in the fu- ture. yesterday For those who desire ws wse the Santa Fe California Limited tretns for the trip to Los Angeles account Woman's Federa- ted clubs convention May 1 to 8 fnolustve, the management has arranged to aceept on these trains the special rate round trip tickéts on for this occasion April 21 to 27 inclusive. $46.00 is the rate from principal points in Nebraska.

A few days ago a fire broke out in one of the rooms om the second floor of The Bee builling. A waste basket caught fire, setting a lesk ablaze. There were perhaps not a dozen tenants of the bullding who knew that there was a fire, and those who ald were not in the least alarmed. The only damage which it realy did was to burn off the wooden door casing, for the casings are the only wooden construction in the bullding. There are not many buildings In Omaha where this could have occurred without having done a great amount of damage. In what kind of a bullding do you have your office? Any morning you may wake up and find that the emtire contents of your office, your valuable books and papers have been destroyed by fire. Is it not worth while to have an office in a building where fire has no terrors? There are other reasons besides its being a fireproof building. Call on R. C. Peters & Co., the rental agents, and they will be glad to show you effices which we know will please you.

All this Mr. Fitch treats in serfous or satirical manner. {lluminating the serious aspect of his drama by many ingeniously diverting bits of characteriza- tion and clean comedy. There are four acts, all of which have been mounted with great care. Three of them are interior and are considered to be the best reproductions yet #een of a home of wealth and fashion.

NOW UP TO SCHOOL BOARD Charges of Deviation from Plans by Contractors on Plumbing Work. At the next meeting of the Board of Edu- cation it is probable that there will be a “showdown’’ in the contest which has been carried on for some time between Archi- tect Lateneer and John Rowe & Co.,the con- tractors who installed the heating plant for the new High school building. Members of the board have been served with coples of a letter written by the archi- tect to the contractors in which he soecifies & number of places in which the plans have not been followed by the contractors. The architect also says that changes have been made which were not approved by him. The complaint covers four typewritten pages and contains sixty-eight separate charges of variations from the plans. The greater number of complaintg are that smaller pipes have been used than were specified. that changes have been made in the loca- tion of machinery and that a number of valves provided for in the specifications have been omitted. The: contractors answer the architect In & letter to the members of the Board of Education in which each item of complaint Is taken up by number. While admitting that the changes complained of by the architect bave been made, they deny some of the charges and say.“We have made no changes from the specifications except un- der the direction of the architect and wher: we saw we could fmprove the work. We are willing at any time to fix up any de- ctive plece of work that may arise within A reasonable time and not caused by care- lessness in or about the bullding.” VOLUNTEER TO FIX CLOCK s Think They Can Make Big Timeplece Re: Dark. Two men from Washington have volun- red to solve the problem of the federal building clock and the custodian has writ- ten to the supervising architect asking that they be gramted permission to make the cxperiment. When Mr. Woodwell and Mr. Daugherty, United States imspectors of electrical appliances in federal bulldings, visited the city a week or two ago the problem of securing service from the clock after the shades fall was mentioned to them, and they were told of the obstacles which have appeared to be insurmountable to local talent. In spite of every fallure so recorded these men announced that they had solved the problem before and that they knew of one clock of about the same size which would amnounce the time of night to all beholders at the distance of a mile. They had, however, scruples against taking the matter up on thelr own account, so the custodian volunteered to have the archi- tect call upon them for their solution of the clock preblem. The electrical experts did not mention the way in which they would make the clock legible after nightfall, but a promise of the possibility was enough to awaken it of the custodian, to whom the atrine has the unanimous endorsement of the mad- It is prepared by the An- TROUBLES OF THE ASSESSOR He Questions Oood l'nth of Publio Cry for Equality. WANTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD | Criticines Practice of Board of Equal- | tzntion in Hearing Complaints Without Presence of As- sessing Offcer. “Everybody is having a great deal to just mow about the things that the asses- sors should and should not do,” remarked one of the most experienced assessors of the county's twenty-nine as he stood in the treasurer's office vesterday morning. "It | the | would be helpful if they same eagerness for fair returrs call on them ndividually. “The fact s the assessors of county do not fsel that could show whea Douglas the public is sin- cere to the extent that it would back them | in doing what it now adviees. An assessor fares just like a dogeatcher—everybody cries to have the dogs taxed, but the first man who sees the catcher carrylng away | his own pet raises the deuce about it. Sup- pose, in seeking to ascertain the real or fair value of a stock of goods on which a prominent merchant makes a return that is apparently too low, the assessor resorts to legal procedure to force the merchant | and others to appear and testify, do you suppose the commissioners and everybody else {n authority, as well as the public, will help that assessor all they can? Not for a minute will they do that; rather would I expect them to throw obstacles in the way. Would Defend His Work. “Agaln, the assessor has no fair oopor- tunity to defend his work when the Board of County Commissioners meets as a board ation, for when the property.owner his complaint about the assess- ment he is notified to appear for a hearing on a certain date, but the assessor s sent no such word. The complainant very often preters that ‘the assessor be not present and the matter is purposely kept quict. When the hearing s had the property owner tells his story, makes his claims. produces his figures and, as there is no one present to dispute them, the commissioners. who feel themselves too busy to go out and look over the premises, often accept the complainant's word or at least compromise matters, when, had the assessor been pres- ent to defend his figures, there might have been no change at all, One-Handed Argument. “The commissioners may be acting In the best of faith, but how are thev to tell from a one-handed debate what to do ft they cannot go themselves to the premises and investigate? If the public is sincere in its demand for a change in methods let it require the commissioners to notify asses- sors of the date of hearing on certain com- plaints, just as they notity the complain- ants. The assessors could collect nothing for their time, but very often thev would appear just because they would wish to de- fend the figures attacked.” Bhampooing and hair dressing, 250, at the Bathery, 216-220 Bee Building.
