The committee appointed by tho police
Jury to have the clerks office repaired after
having made n thorough examination of
the building came to the wise conclusion
that it was too badly damaged to repair and
have recommended that both it and the re-
corder's Office be torn down and that new
buildings consolidating the two Offices into
ono, be erected. This idea has met with
general approval and the plan will no doubt
be carried out at an early day. The build
ing will be located on the northeast corner
OF tho public square about where tho rccor-
ders Office now stands. We trust the police
Jury will display spirit of iiberafiy il,
this matter and have building erected in
every way i'll keeping with the progressive
spirit of our people and one that will an
swer tho purposes for which it is intended
and at the same time I've com fort able and
convenient.
Parents who have been sending their
children to the Monroe white public schools
will no doubt be pleased to learn that Prof.
+. w. Blees. who has charge of the schools
as principal, will, during vacation, teach Il
private school in this city. During the
session of the public schools now drawing
to a close Prof. Blees has earned an envi-
able reputation as 4 teacher and an earnest
enthusiastic and devoted educator, which
fact, being we'll known to the patrons o.
our public schools, will certainly insure
him 4 large school during the vacation
The Telegraph, having opposed the selec
tion Of Prof. Blees as principal of the pub
lie schools when they wore reorganizet
under the present city administration. nov
gives him This unqualified endorsement a
matter of simple justice, believing an,
knowing that he has earned it by a faithin
and competent discharge al duty.

III is REPUTATION.
An Interview With MIR. Booth, of the
New York Life.

Mr.. William L. Booth, managing director
Of the New York Life Insurance company.
has been in the city for a few days. He it
was who decided upon the present site of the
magnificent building which his company has
erected at the corner of Farnam and Seven
teenth streets. In conversation with a BEE
man., on the subject of city hall relocation,
Mr.. Booth said:
IL regard this attempt to remove the city
hall as very damaging to the credit of Omaha.
1t is a species of reputation and in very bad
faith. If 1t is carried out it will do Omaha an
inestimablc amount of injury by discouraging
foreign capitals lists from commit here and in
vcsting money. | came to Omaha to per-
sOnally select u site for our building, and |
decided in favor of Farnam and Sevenseent tn
streets because the court house was already
constructed opposite, and the city hall had
been located BY a vote of the people, and the
bonds have been voted for it. never would
have thought of purchasing those lots and
investing the enormous sum that we have
put into our building unless | felt assured
that the public buildings of Omaha were cen.
tered near that spot.
II am surprised at Mr.. Millard's position.
l bought this property from him, and
one of the principal arguments
he made was that we were
to have the benefit of the city hall.
"Now, we are at present negotiating for the
largest and most complete law library that
can be found in any city west of New York.
Your present law library is not a circum-
stance to il, and we purpose to place this
library in our building for the use of our ten.
ants, and expect, of course, to draw the
patronage of the legal fraternity. But if
this raid that is being made here upon US
should prove successful, and the public
buildings be scattered, it will seriously i'm
pair our Investment.
at is a question in my mind whether
your city has n right to do
this thing anyway-to induce foreign
capitalists to come here and invest and loan
money in view of the location Of public build
ings in Omaha and then rcpudiate all obi
cations to investors. 1t seems to me your
people would want to encourage foreign CAPT
tai if you would hope to grow to be a great
city.
"Another thing, we have done a great deal
for your city already in assisting the passage
of your postoffice bill. Our friends in Wash
ington are very influential, and have per-
sOnally made every effort to assist Mr..
McShane in getting the postoflce bill
through congress-. | cannot comprehend
why your citizens have countenanced the
hall removal scheme even thus far.

South Omaha Adamant Works.

The Nebraska Adamant Wall Plaster
company is one of the business instltu-
tions of South Omaha. The capital is
80 900, the capacity 300 barrels a day.
The works are at Seventeenth and q
streets, and are under charge of A. X.
Walla. Since commencing business
three months ago all of the fine build
ings in South Omaha have beer finished
with this company product, andit gives
better satisfaction than any other
plaster preparation in use. The South
Omaha National banks new building,
the new building just occupied by the
Nebraska Savings bank, and Patrick
Rowley's block have been finished with
adamant plaster, and the statement of
Mr.. Rowley, whose building was only
partially plastered with adamant that
he would rather than 500 that the
whole building had been plastered with
it," is but the sentiment of all who have
used it. The company has ample facili-
demands by simply increas-
ing the working force, as
the machinery and buildings
are amply sufficient to meet any de-
mand. Among many of the excellent
qualities of the adament may be enum-
Grated:
1t becomes as hard as marble in Il few
hours. 1T IS strong, adhesive ana so
durable that it will last us long as the
building. 1t does away with the warp
ing and shrinking of doors and castings,
because it Is not necessary, as with COM
nor plaster, to saturate the building
with water. 1t costs originally but little
more than lime plaster, and i'll the end
its superior qualities make it immeas-
urably cheaper. 1t saves waiting several
weeks or months for the building to
dry out. A room finished one
day. can be occupied the next.
1t does not crack or fall Off, even in
by any good mason. 1t is a dry mate
rial; can be kept any length of time
without deterioration; is always ready
for use at a moments notice; and is the
only material with which repairing can
be done conveniently, quickly and "to
stay"
Again. this durable and excellent
material is more readily put on walls
than plasters Of any other kind and
costs only 4 or 5 cents u yard more than
the best lime plaster. Under the ener-
getic and business management of Mr..
a. K. Walla this company has attained !
a standing and influence that is as en-
viable rs the merit of it's product is
gratifying to the owners and gives sat
isfactiOn to those who use it. A per-
sonal inspection of some of the build
ings finished with adamant and CONVEX |
sations with the owners and mechanics
employed on the buildings warrant THE
BEE representative in saying that the
adamant wall plaster is without a rival, |
and is all that the officers of the COM
pany claim for it.

SCALpING THE SCALPERS.
A Plan Which Would Seriously Inter.

A Plan Which Would Seriously Inter-
ferc With Ticket Brokerage
CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-The general managers
and general passenger agents Of the western,
southwestern and northwestern roads came
near an agreement to-day on q plan which, if
lived up to, would make it impossible for
ticket brokers to do much business. 1t was
in the shape of a new form of
mileage ticket, which. in its detailed de-
s%cription OF the buyer, lacks but little of "A
photograph. The buyer must sign his name
il the presence of the agent, and every time
he uses tine book. for the benefit of the con-
ductor. The unused portion of these as we'll
as of the round trip or through
tickets, will be redeemable at the railroad
offices. These provisions would almost do
away with scalping. Contrary to general
expectation, the contract was not finally APP
proved to-day. The Wabash, at the eleventh
hour, served notice that it would
not sign the supplemental agreement, in
which only southwestern lines are directly
Interested, unless any action on the part of
roads other than the Wabash, look
ing to a shortening of time III
running trains between Chicago ana
the Missouri river or st. Louis, would
be regarded as Il cut in rate. The general
managers were staggered at the announce
menJ and the meeting finally adjourned, sub
ject to the call of the chair.
