BLACK GOODS.

The popularity of Black
Dress Goods is proven by
the great variety of new
styles brought out this sea-
son. The choicest of them
are woven on 'Jacquard'
looms, showing small fig
ures and geometrical de-
signs on plain surfaces, and
seeded effects on Armure
grounds.
We show these in nearly
one hundred styles, at sI.oo,
sI.25, sI.35, $3.50 and
$I.75.
In plain weaves, Serges
are the favorites. They
wear we'll, and don't cost
much. We sell a very good
quality for so cents.

spector's Salary List.
Messrs. Lightner, Doran, Schuette
and Rcardon, of the committee on ways
and means, held lengthy session yes
terday afternoon. b. Zimmerman, Will
lam Banholzer. J. NJ. Carlson and w. R.
Marshall, four of the bondsmen on the
bond given the city by the Seven Cor
ners bank, were present i'll answer to
an Invitation extended.
When the bank suspended the city
had on deposit l4.6S3.40, and as the
city attorney had asked for authority To
commence action against the principal
and SuretieS 1t was deemed advisable to
hear what the bondsmen mad to say.
The latter said they were getting tie
same kind of medicine as the resolution
would suggest all around, and the
trouble was the time between doses was
not long enough. The city, they held,
would get the money much quicker by
not commencing action against them
than it would if the matter was pressed
in the courts. They expected to have
to pay the bond, they said, but it was
hard work to get money at the present
time and what they desired was short
delay. They were all good for the
amount and would not shirk the re-
sponsibility.
Finally the matter was laid over for
two weeks, the bondsmen in the mean
time to come TO some agreement among
themselves and consult with The city
attorney as to the proper steps to be
taken.
The resolution giving the mayor au-
thority TO appoint weigher of coal and
measurer of wood for six months, at
salary of SS5 per month. will be referred
back TO the assembly without recon-
mendation.
The report of the building Inspector,
showing seven employees in his office,
including himself, and pay roll
amounting 10 SS66.65 per month, pro-
voked considerable discussion, but
after the city attorney had Informed the
members that the salary of the inSpec-
Tor was nXeu at S2OS.5 per month by
charter. resolution was prepared
which directs the inspector to make a
reduction of % per cent. taking the roll
for September as basis for the cut.
The resolution of Mr. Rcardon aleg-
ing that preference was shown certain
sprnkling contractors by the board of
public works in having warrants for
sprInkliDg assessments for one con-
tractor prepared in advance of the
other was laid over for two weeks.
President German denied the alleged
charges, and the records from the board
OF public works. Mr.. Lightner said, did
not show any such state of affairs, but
the matter was laid over.

State Officials Respond to Petit
tions of Warehousemen.
Judge Mills, of the state railway and
warehouse commission, and Assistant
Attorney General Edgerton yesterday
went to Echo and Wood Lake, on the
Minneapolis IL st. Louis road, TO exam
inc into the matter of spur tracks asked
for by petitions of warehousemen at
these points. The road declined to
build the spur tracks, and the ware
housemen are moving the state COM
miSSiOners to compel it to build them.
The recent decision of the supreme
court holding that railways are bound
to build such tracks to private elevators
and warehouses was based upon the
law of 1887, which provided that no dis
examinations shall be made by the rail-
ways among elevators and warehouses.
The last legislature adopted new
law upon the subject. which provides
that any one may build an elevator or
warehouse adjacent to any line. of rail-
way in the state without first apprising
or consulting the railway of his inten-
tionS, and that the state commission
may compel the railway to build the
spur tracks to the structure in case the
company does not do SO willingly.

The board of public works yesterday
awarded the contract for planting 26S
shade trees on Summit avenue, from
Kent street to Lexington auenue, to
Edward f. Anderson at 1888 per tree,
or total of 1850, The contractor agrees

period of three years.
The matter of the assessment for
Ridgewood park was adjourned for one
week, and the change of grade ON Como
avenue, from Western avenue to Top

On recommendation of the city attor-
ney the proceedings for the change of

This is owing to the position taken by
