PETER JoRGENsEN LET OUT
Old Policeman H. DISCHARGED from
Force by the New Com
m~issioners.

For failing to see an assault near the
Cass street gate Of the Union Pacific yards
and for taking a drink while on duty. Peter
Jorgensen, one Of the oldtimers on the po-
lice force, was discharged by the Board OF
Fire and Police Commissioners last night.
Jorgensen said he took the drink four min
utes before time for him to report OF duty.
The charges we're fled by Sergeants Hud-
son and Gibbons. Jorgensen had been a
member of the department since 1894 and
was at one time a member OF the detec-
tive force. On one previous occasion he
was suspended from the force for ten days
for being intoxicated. He had the reputa
ton of arresting as many good" men as
any officer on the force, and it was he who
captured the two burglars who robbed the
rooms over Cliff Coles saloon a year ago.
The burglars had evaded Sergeant Hud-
son and a half dozen officers when Jorgen.
sen arrested them.
Martin Shields, who had been suspended
for being intoxicated. was ordered repri-
mapded and reinstated without salary for
the time Of his suspension.
Frank Brundage was placed on the regu-
lar freman's list. Brundage was appointed
on the regular list from the reserves by
Chief salter before the new board was ap-
poih'eu' Spoh assumlhB duLhoTity the
board at once dismissed Brundage and or
dered the chief to appoint nc more new
men until the members had done their own
investigating as to qualification.
William Krug, who applied for a license
to open a saloon at Fourteenth and Will
liam street, will be given a hearing next
Monday night. Krug is the proprietor Of
the Trocadero saloon and desired to remove
that TO Fourteenth and William street.
The board ordered him to show proof that
his application for a license was published
in a paper with the largest circulation in
the city.
Several applications for leave of absence,
made by police officers, we're turned down
and the chief OF police was requested to
notify the men that no more leaves would
be granted until after January 1.

ORDINANCE is DISCUSSED
Andrew ROsewateris Measure Taken
Up, bat Not Finally Acted
On.

The ordinance to permit Andrew Rose
water to come into the city with electric
wires was again the principal topic of dis
cussion at the meeting OF the general com
mittee OF the council yesterday afternoon,
nut no hnal action was taken for the rea-
son that on this occasion also Messrs.
Burnley and Lobeck were absent and Mr..
Hoye, who was at the meeting OF Friday,
was away. although Mr.. Mount, who was
one OF the absentees at the former meet
ing. was there yesterday.
Judge Hascall presented a typewriter
draft OF amendments which he wished to
make in the form OF the ordinance. but
for the greater part they effected only
the wording and did not in any way alter
the essential terms OF the document.
Mr.. Rosewater also suggested changes
that he would like TO make IN the ordi-
nance as originally presented. One Of these
was TO require that only 10, 900 OF the 90
900 horse power which 1t is provided that
the plant shall develop must be developed
In two years and the remaining 10, 900 horse
power in two years more. 1t was finally
decided TO amend by fixing the lime fol
the completion OF the plant at three years
and requiring the full horse power at that
time.
Mr.. Rosewater also desired to change
the maximum annuity to be paid to the
city from $4,000 to 10000 per year and
II was finally agreed tina the amount
should be fixed at IS 200 for the nrst year
as in the original ordinance, and increased
$1,000 each year until at the end OF tbs
sixth year II had reached $4,000. at which
figure IL should remain stationary until this
twentieth year and then be increased &c
SIS, 900.

EYES SPEAk

Volumes, at times, of woman's happi-
ness or misery. The dull, sunken eye,
with its dark circles almost surely speaks
of womanly ill-health, and its attendant
t~sufering. With the dull eye goes usu-
ally the sallow, sunken cheek, the drawn
mouth, the shruuken form-the whole
glory of woman's beauty marred by the
effects of disease.

TURKEYS TO FLY VERY HIGH
Dressed stock Likely to Sell at
Twenty Cents n Pound by
THANKSGIVING

The prediction is being freely made by
Omaha poultrymen that turkeys for the
thanksgiving trade are going to command
fancy prices. AS a general thing at this
time the market is we'll supplied with both
live and dressed stock, but so far receipts
have been extremely light and prices are
at the highest point they have been In
years. Live stock is quoted at wholesale
at 10 and IL cents and dressed stock at 10
and 16 cents. The general opinion seems
to be that when the Thanksgiving trade
sets in retail prices will reach Is or 20
cents.
The reason for the shortage in supplies
and the consequent high prices is that
farmers and poultry growers had bad luck
with their young turkeys early in the
spring. There was SO much rain and cold
weather that they died off at a rapid rate,
with the result that within a radius of 100
miles Of Omaha there are almost no mar
ketable turkeys at all. The supply will
have to come largely from Missouri and
Kansas. Some advices received from the
sand hills country indicate that there will
be quite a few shipped in from there, but
probably not enough to effect the market to
any extent.
The cranberry market has also been go
ing upward and prices are now exception
ally high, but 1t Is thought that the top
has not yet been reached. Wisconsin
stock is quoted at from $3.50 to $3.50 per
barrel. Apples are selling at fair prices,
but many look for . sharp advance In them
between now and Christmas.
Nuts are another line that are in big de-
mand for Thanksgiving. but they are SELL
ing at normal prices. The same Is true
OF oranges, grapes, figs and dates.
Owing to the high prices ruling on tur-
keys oyster dealers are preparing for a big
demand for their line Of goods. Supplies
are liberal, however, and no change In quo
tations is looked for. Ducks, geese and
chickens may also take the place Of turkeys
to some extent on the Thanksgiving bill Of
fare, for while they are commanding prices
above the average they are still within
reach.

Charged Win stealing MONEY.

H.. c. Chapman, who rooms at 39 North
Nineteenth street, was last night lodged I'm
the city prison to await trial on a charge
or grand larceny, Chapman was arrested
In Caekley Bros saloon, 223 North Six
tenth street, at " o'clock by Detectives
Drummy and Mitchell. He denies the theft
he Is accused of. Chapman Is said to have
gone into the Palace pool room at 21O North
sixteenth street about Z o'clock and en-
tered into a conversation with the pro-
prietor, NJ. Burkenroad. A box of cigars
was opened and Chapman picked up the
box ana offered TO bet that he could read
me labels on the bottom through the wood.
Burkenroad la~ughingly took up the be-
and threw down Sl00 in gold pieces on the
counter. Chapman then grabbed up the
money and ran out. This was done In the
presence of hYe or six witnesses. When

ton one 80 gold piece was found In a

I Tax COMMISSIONS Fleming yesterday
Ecompleted his figures on the real estate
Assessment as they are to be presented to
THE Board of Review. These figures show
q grand total Of S72, 3S7, O3O for the current
assessment Of real property. including i'm
kprovements, which is assumed to be a fair
tcash valuation. The assessment OF last
year was made on the standard of 40 per
cent OF the true value of the property, and
Baking that as a means of calculation the
FULL valuation placed upon the property for
1.-THE purposes OF that assessment would have
Bbeen $72,2 23, 1875. This apparently shows an
increase Of $163 ,905. but when the improve
ments added during the year are taken into
consideration 1t is found that the land val
Euation OF the property has really been de-
creased. Before completing his figures Mr..
lFleming estimated that the decrease would
lperhaps be as much as 10 per cent. but It
he now found that It fs scarcely more than
Is per cent.

LOBECK APPEALS TO COURT
Meets Henry Mcdonald at Bar and Asks
for the Same"
WANTS CANVASSINe BOARD TO RECOUNT
Democratic Candidate, However, Goes
His Opponent One Better by
Calling for Two Additional
Votes in Fifth Ward.

Charles o. Lobeck, fusion candidate for
commissioner from the Fifth district, has
retaliated in the mandamus proceeding in
stituted Friday by Henry Mcdonald, repub-
lican candidate, with a similar proceeding
in his own behalf. Mcdonald sought to
have the canvassing board reconsider the
vote in the Sixth precinct of the Ninth
ward and strike out one of Lobeck's cred
its, thus breaking the tie. Lobeck seeks
to compel the board to reconsider the re-
turns from the First and Second precincts
Of the Fifth ward and allow him two
doubtful credits that were denied him
when the canvass was made. Should the
board do this and acquiesce also to Nc
Donald.s demand, II would give Lobeck a
total of 2,612, as against McDonald's 2,611.
and the right to the certificate Of election
and the seat on the board from the time
ostrom's term expires until the settlement
OF the contest which Mcdonald would be
certain to begin in county court.
Judge Dickinson issued an alternative
writ for Mcdonald and set the hearing for
Wednesday morning. Yesterday he is
sued a similar writ for Lobeck and set the
hearing for the same time and place, so
that the matters can be disposed of all at
once. There is much speculation as to
the course the court will pursue and as to
the extent OF its province in debating the
course of procedure and findings Of a can
wasting board.
Claims Two More Votes.
In the petition which Attorney Piatti
filed yesterday in Lobeck's behalf II is
alleged that the relator should nave been
credited by the canvassing board with zoe
In the First precinct OF the Fifth ward and
with 1lS in the Second precinct OF the same,
but that instead he was allowed but 2O5 in
the First and 112 in the Second, the board
having failed to make a true count Of the
votes"
The specific prayer OF the petition Is for q
~peremptory writ compelling the board to
make a correct count of the votes, allow
Lobeok 2O6 and 113 votes and cause a GER
tihcate of election to be issued to him.
The credits in dispute are markings in the
poll books. In the returns for each OF the
two precincts in question there was found
a block of tally marks wherein only three
perpendicular and one horizontal stroke
were plainly visible. The fifth mark wal
not plain and the board counted the blocks
for only -four each. 1t is said that Lobeek
has seen the poll books retained by the
election board clerks OF the disputed pre-
elncts and assured himself that the doubtful
TALES are his.

How Fleming worked.

For the purposes of the current tax levy
Mr.. Fleming and his deputies undertook a
lrevaluation of all real property in the city,
but we're unable to complete the work ex-
lcept In the district north OF Dodge street.
In all that part Of the city the property
has been reassessed, but in the portion
south of the dividing line of Dodge street
sthe figures for this year were produced by
"a process of computation in which the fig
lures of last year were treated as 40 per
cent of the whole. and therefore multiplied
Iby two and one-half to reach the fair cash
value. Hence the change in the total hg-
ures is in fact all in the district north Of
dodge street.
The Board OF Review heard several minor
complaints on the ground of excessive tax
ation and made slight changes.
