WIRE ORDINANCE
SAFELY BURIED
Measure Providing for an In
SpeCtion Fee Killed by
City Council.

After two years of precarious existence
in various council committees the famous
electrical ordinance was killed by the city,
council last evening The ordinance pro-
vided for the creation of the position of
electrical Inspector to be appointed by
the city engineer, who should examine all
wiring IN the city and charge a fee sDeci-
fled for doing the work. Its alleged pur-
pose was to prevent defective wiring and
thus eliminate fire risks.
The action of the council came after u
long debate and was taken on the mo-
ton of Councilman Stewart to strike out
the enacting clause. Eight favored the
motion and six were against it, as fol-
lows:
s-Fernstrom, Hodgson. Holley,
Murdoch. O'Donnell, Reedall Stewart and
President Davis-S.
Nays-Black, Cowburn, Hall, Martin,
Raybould and Wood-6.
Stewart began the discussion by point
ing out inconsistencies in the ordinance
and some of its faults He declared that
it would be a burden on the people who
would be compelled to pay the cost of
inspection and would be of no practical
benefit.
Martin responded. He began by say
ing that Stewart did not know telephone
from telegraph wire and also was igno-
rant of the whole subject matter
Stewart replied by saying that favor
itism could be shown to the big firms by
the inspectors and that the ordnance
would be impossible to enforce.
More wrangling followed. and finally
the council sustained Stewards position,
and the ordinance is safely buried.
The council accepted an invitation from
A NJ. Wrench president of the Telluride
Realty company, to inspect the new Pc
trolithic pavement on the streets of his
addition this evening .o-

Democratic platform specifically stated
the party's purpose. While the Repub-

tended that the Republican platform
asked the people to find out definitely
after the election. We" he said, tell
you definitely noe, and our confidence
in you and in our position ought to
awaken your confidence in our party.

Why 1t Appealed to Him.

The name of the organization OF which
he was the guest is the word Nebraska
spelled backward, and Mr.. Bryan said
il appealed especially to him. for his ha-
bitual backwardness has been matter
of comment. He thanked his hosts es-
pecially for their invitation TO join their
order, as il would put him in touch with
the representatives of the business inter-
estS of the state, declaring that he had
heretofore found it difficult to get within
speaking distance of the business men of
the country.
Mr. Rosewater in his remarks, declared
that the two greatest sources of adver-
Using for Nebraska in recent years had
been the distinguished guest of the day,
and the organization which was enter
tanning him. He raised a laugh at the
expense of Mr.. Bryan by relating in a
facetious manner the story of his recent
meeting in Chicago with Chairman Hitch
cock of the Republican national commit
tee.
Other guests at the dinner were the
newspaper representatives, who accom-
panied Mr.. Bryan on his trip and who
will remain with him during the cam

Cutting Glass With Scissors.

Did you ever try to cut piece of
glass in a straight line with a pair
of shears? 1t can be done. Get a
deep pan or bowl, and fill it with
water. Put your hands, the glass
and the scissors completely under
the water, and hold them there while
you do the cutting. In this way you
can cut the glass in a straight or
curved line, provided it be not too
thick but you must be careful not to
allow the least part of the glass or
shears to come above the surface of
the water. And why can this be
done? The reason is that the water
deadens the vibration of the glass
and shears when they come in con-
tact, and with the vibration deaden-
ed, the sharp edges of the shears
make a uniform cut.-The Chill
dren's Tribune.
