BIDDING ON CITY SUPPLIES
City Engineer Rosewater's Contention with
Reference to Coal.
INVESTIGATION OF THE STATIONERY BILLS
Alteration that the t<Iopp-Bnrticu
Company Has Bccn supplying
Goods aud Charging More
Than Contract Prices.

The contracts for the municipal fuel suu
ply and for feeding city prisoners will ex.
pire September 10 and bids for the new con-
tracts were opened by the Advisory board
yesterday afternoon. There were Ave bids
on fuel and these were referred for tabula-
tion and for investigation in regard to the
comparative steam making capacities OF the
various Goals offered.
City Engineer Rosewater says: There
should be an exact standard on which bids
for fuel should be let For instance, a
coal that would produce ten pounds OF
steam for each pound of coal would be
worth twice as much as coal that only
produced five pounds of steam to the pound.
The amount of ashes remaining from each
coal should also be taken into considera-
tion. The large corporations that use inn
menso quantities of coal have made a series
of tests by which the exact heating capacity
of every brand of coal is known and the
same system should be followed so far as
practicable, by the city,"
There We're three bids for the feeding of
city prisoners. James Cravens, 14ls cents
per meal; j, p. Peiner, Is cents and j.
Danbaum, l21a cents. The contract was
awarded to Danbaum. The present price is
cents per meal.

cording to the contract, but bill for SO
had been sent in. The bill for 500 street
cut blanks 81, when the contract price
was 10 cents per 1000.
In nearly every case these charges were
for supplies on which the contractors had
put in a very low bid, apparently anticl-
pating that they would not be nesded. After
the blanks had been ordered they had
raised the price. arguing that they were
not provided for in the contract and should
therefore be furnished at market prices

the bullion in dollar is worth 40 cents, end
the ratio of silver to gold is just 40 to l.
This computation.iis based on $l.2929 per

is worth a dollar
From the time that the price of silver
began to fall below sl,2929 per ounce the
value of the bullion in the dollar and the

century Of change IN value, of coy advancing
and retreating, yet in the main steadily NOV

University Regents Change Plans for
the Mechnnic Arts Hnn.


LINCOLN, Aug. 25.-(Specal)-The Board
of Regents of the University of Nebraska
held meeting today to consider the plans
for the new mechanic arts building. Since
the abandonment of the contract by the last
successful bidder there has been an effort
on the part of the board to so modify the
plans that they would admit of the construc-
tion of the building at lower cost. The
first idea Of the board was to plan a similar
building, but some of the members have
now concluded that it would be better to
keep the structure at the size as originally
planned and make the reduction in the finish
and ornamental part The matter has not
vet been agreed upon, but it is probable that
1t Will be settled during the week and new
bids be advertised for

NORFOLK, Neb., Aug. 25.-(Special Tele-

Morris Mayer was closed last night under
chattel mortgages aggregating $1,000. The

Hirsch, Ellison g. Co., M. e. Smith & Co. of
Omaha and Miller, Dyer & Co. OF Phiia-

on the stock and 1t is estimated that it Will
nearly pay out. The hard times of the last
three years and insufficient capital to enable
him to stock up and participate in the trade
revival are the cause of the failure. Mr..
Mayer was a hard worker and has the good
will OF the people generally, who regret that
he was unable to overcome the adverse cir
cumstances which confronted him.

IMPROVING INDIAN LANDS
Special Agent Has a Plan to Help Sisseton
Sioux.
PROPOSAL TO LEASE Them TO SETTLE
At the Expiration of the Lease the
buildings and improvements
to Revert to the Indian
owner of the Land.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Aug. 25.--(SpecialO
Special Agent Mcconnell of the Indian
bureau. who recently visited Sisseton agency
on official business, proposes to recommend q
plan to the department by which the surplus
lands belonging to these Indians can be
rented and placed under a state of cultiva-
His plan is to permit the lands to be rented
for a term of years through the government
agent. or a special attorney delegated with
proper power, for a reasonable percentage OF
the crop grown each year. The renter would
be required to erect a fah sized house and
barn, a proportionate omount of the cost OF
the building to be deducted from the Indians
share of the crop each year, so that at the
expiration of the lease the buh iings would ne
paid for and become the property OF the
Indian who owns the particular piece Of
land. II Is believed that some such plan,
with proper safeguards placed around it,
would prove beneficial to the Indians. Their
wild lands would be placed in a state OF
cultivation, and upon the expiration of the
lease they would have desirable buildings
to move into and could take UP the work
where the white tenant had left II. Such a
plan, it is also thought, would prove OF great
benefit to the country at large, for. with a
long lease a desirable class of white farmers
could be induced to settle on the thousands OF
acres of Indian land which would otherwise
lie idle. but which would thus be improved
and made to produce wealth. These who are
familiar with the progress of these Indians
Gay that so far as engaging successfully in
agricultural pursuits is concerned the Sisseton
and Wahpeton Indians as a whole are not so
lar advanced as they were ten or a dozen
wears ago and unless some special induce
ments are held out to them there is no i'm
mediate prospect of their advancement.
