UNITY CLUB READS HISTORY
Interesting Presentation of Papers at
the Home OF Thomas kiIpat-

A meeting of the Unity club at the home
of Thomas Fitzpatrick, 410 North Twenty
second street, Friday evening, was well at
tended. The Franks" was the subject of
the evening. The opening feature was a
general historical sketch read by Miss Carrie
Brown of the High school. Miss Browns
paper was comprehensive and the thorough
manner in which she handled her subject
revealed much study She reviewed the
origin and history of the Franks through
out.
Miss Brown was followed by Nathan Bern
stein with a discussion of Salic law. Mr.
Bernstein talked at length and entered into
his subject in a highly entertaining man
ner
A discussion on Ripuarian law by Harry
Fischer completed the program of the even
ing. Mr. Fischer is acknowledged authority
on the subject he discussed and he inter
ested his hearers.
AS general rule these meetings are held
every two weeks at the home of some men,

WANT BETTER CAR SERVICE
Riverview Annex to South Side I'M
prOyement Club Complains of
street Railway Company.

The Riverview club annex to the South
Side Improvement club held its second
meeting last night in the Julius Kesser
building at Thirteenth and Dominion streets.
1t was a most enthusiastic gathering OF
nearly all of the forty-seven members. The
objects and the prospects of the organiza-
ton were discussed The following resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this club
that the Omaha Street Railway company be
requested to extend its line to South
Omaha by way of Thirteenth street as soon
as possible and TO furnish better service on
the stub line during the winter months or
erect shelter of some kind at the end of the
present line, and that copy of this resolu-
tion be sent to the city council with the
request to have the above done at once"
resolution was also passed asking the
school board to provide better approaches
at the Forest school. Several of the mem
bers testified TO a poor car service on the
South Omaha line and their inability to make
cars stop for them at crossings,
Dr. Hanchett was present and gave the
club an interesting address.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.

About half of the 1899 levy has already
been expended by the city council and there
now remains balance subject to warrants
OF $34, ,SS5. At the present rate of eXpendi-
ture several of the funds will be short long
before the expiration of the fiscal year. 1t
takes now about 81 900 month to run the
police department and only $3,777 remains in
the police fund This sum will pay Decem-
Der, January and February bills, leaving a
deficit of about $1,000 at the end of July.
The fire fund is but little better off. 1t will
be behind four months at the C.ose of the
fiscal year. as there remains only a little
over $4,000 to the credit of this fund. So
much money has been drawn from the gem
eral fund that only $3.50 remains, and even
with additions coming from transfers a six
months overlap is almost q certainty. The
water fund is running low on account OF the
number of new hydrants located and there
will undoubtedly be an overlap in this fund
of about $4,000. When 1t comes to street
repair work it is thought that majority OF
the work needed in the spring will have to
be performed on time, as there is not suf-
fcent money to run this department through
the winter. Taxpayers have been demand
ing street lights and in compliance with
these requests quite a number of additional
lights have been ordered into service. At
the least calculation this fund will be short
SO, 900 at the close of the fiscal year.
great many do not consider that the levy
is sufficient, as many improvements have to
be made in order to keep pace with the
rapid growth of the city.

he might undertake to straighten out the
difficulty Mr.. Youngs said that he was
