signed by H. S. Barthold, appealling
from the decision of the chief of the
fire department in refusing to issue a
life certiScate membership to the peti
tioner, alleging a reason that a fine of
$2 was assessed against him on the
books of the fire department, for d is
obeying orders at the McCourt fire
several months ago. The 'petitioner
denied this statement, and alleged
that the fine was assessed against him
merely on account of a prejudice ex
isting between the Wideawake. and
down-town companies.
Gutsche moved that . the prayer be
granted and the certificate issued
Grimes moved to amend by referring
the matter to the fire committee for
investigation. A lively discussion en
sued at this juncture, being partici
pated in by Gutsche, Grimes and
Steimker. and the air was full of elo
quence for a few minutes. At the con
elusion of the orations a vote on the
amendment was taken, which resulted
as follows:
Aye Parmele, Grimes, Barwick 3,
Nay Messersmith. Hinshaw, Gut
sche, Sattler, Slater, Steimker 6.
The amendment was declared lost, and
a vote was then taken on the original
motion, resulting as follows:
Ayes Gutsche, Steimker, Parmele,
Hinshaw, Messersmith, Slater, Bar
wick 7.
Nay Grimes, 1.
Not voting Sattler.
Grimes said he couldn't just see how
the council would procure the certifi
cate, and questioned that body's au
thority in the premises. But the mat
ter was dropped here, for the present,
at least.
A few accounts acrninst the citv were I
then referred to the finance committee
without reading, on motion of Grimes.
ine sidewalk bids were then re
opened and the contract was awarded
to Robert Johnson, his bid being the
lowest.
The judiciary committee, reporting
upon the occupation tax ordinance,
recommended a couple of amendments,
and, upon motion or u rimes, the re
port was adopted. Grimes then moved
that the amendments be made. Car
ried.
The ordinance was given its second
reading, and upon motion, was read
the third time by its title, and placed
upon its final passage.
The finance committee returned the
following claims as correct:

above amounts. Carried
The police . committee returned the
reports of the police judge and city
marshal as correct, and the same were
adopted.
A batch of sidewalk resolutions was
then read, which were unanimously
adopted, upon motion of Grimes.
Grimes presented a resolution ask
ing that the council appropriate . the
sum of $100 for the use oi the judiciary
committee in making investigations
as to what kind of a case the city had
in the water works suit, which is booked
to come up for trial in the U. S. court
at Omaha next month. The resolution
was unanimously adopted. Mayor
Newell, at this juncture, said he didn't
believe the city had been treated right
by the water company, and that the
water pressure was not over one-third
what it should be. Several of the
"dads" also expressed their views on
the subject, corroborating, in sub.
stance, the mayor's statements.
Gutsche gave notice that an ordi
an ce would be introduced at the next
meeting, regulating the rates charged
by the water company.
Grimes presented a resolution
authorizing the judiciary committee
to proceed to compile a new book of
the working laws and ordinances for
the city. After a brief discussion 'the
resolution was adopted.
A motion, by Gutsche, to adjourn
received the unanimous support of the
council.

Will Build an Addition.
The Ileisel roller flouring mills con
tinues to run day and night in order
to supply the demand for the excel
lent goods turned out here. Mr. flei-
sol is not only an experienced miller
himself, but ho has in his employ one
of the best in the state, Herman
Kieitsch, who is ably assisted by Mr.
Heisel's son, George. The pros
perity attending the efforts of the
owner to make the best of wheat, rye
and buckwheat flour and other milling
products is fully deserved, as the build
ing is so lull oi me latest macninery
that one can hardly get around
through it.
The wheat is first thoroughly cleaned
of all dirt, dust and all the small,
shriveled graius are taken out, then it
is steamed to make the bran tough
and then ground through three sets of
rollers, as in Hungary, and then by in
genious mechanism it is bolted and
carried to the flour bin. This is all
done without so much ' as touching a
lever after the mill is started. From
the flour bin it is con veyed into the
sack in which the goods are sold. The
sacking is performed by machinery
also, the only hand work required be
ing that
of pickinsr up a sack and
hanging it onto the spout. It weighs
itself and throws out of gear when fifty
pounds are packed into the 6ack by
this novel machine, anil it does its
work with singular rapidity.
To faithfully describe all the ma
chinery which Mr. Heisel has put in
the mill would reauire an entire paee.
but he is" not satisfied yet and in order
to supply his trade he has concluded
to build an addition on the west side of
suitable width, forty-eight feet long
This will make one among the first
class mill properties of the state.
Ooes For Itrother Todd.
To the Editor of The News:
Brother Todd has not spoken from
my text yet, so we wm say a wora.
Firstly, is there not trouble when you
have two units of value ? Today it
may require the same amount of labor
to obtain each then they will bo at
parity or equality. If the timo comes
when one is obtained with half the
labor the other is, they will no longer
be at parity. To try to make them
equal with fiats would bo idiotic. At
the present time it may be better to
have two units of value, and let the
people pay their debts in the same
currency that was legal tender at tne
time the debts were contracted. The
people had better begin to prepare to
have one unit of value, for the time
will come when thev will adopt it
People will always pay their debts in
the cheapest unit of value. That will
force the most
costlv unit out oi
circulation as
a legal tender,
It will become
be bought and
a commodity, and
sold like all other
goods. The populists wish to have
laws passed as unreasonable as the
laws passed by the Puritans at Ply
mouth in 1G22. They cleared the trees
from the land and planted corn, bu
the squirrels dug up the outside rows
and the Puritans passed a law that no
man should plant any outside rows.
was there three years ago to see about
it. The most advanced nations are
adopting the one unit system. Those
advanced nations are governed by wise
law-makers. Japan and China are
now suffering because they have two
units of value, or different values.
"D
Who Was the Architect?
Under this head a very readable
article appears in the March number
of American homes, from which we
quote the following extract:
"The history of the building of the
Temple of the Lord at Jerusalem, al
though occupying much space and ex
plicit description in holy writ, is yet
incomplete and fragmentary as to the
original steps taken toward the fin a
end. and it is a matter of no little
curiosity and interest but of little real
knowledge today as to who planned
that remarkable structure, whose
hands did the preliminary work, whose
drew the detailed plans True, des
criptions of the completed building
are elaborately explicit as to dimen
sions and materials and - the wealth
lavished upon its constrvction, but
these may be-Jegarded as statutory
enactments made after the planning,
if not after the - completion of the
building, and should not becloud or
confuse the answer to the caption of
this article."

The number of people who want
water out at the cemetery and would
pay for it is really surprising. If the
water company would lay a small pipe
out there it could be made quite pro
fitable. The council could well afford
to help it along a little. - -

be in the shape of a short lecture by
pastor. Rev. H. B. Burgess. Every
one is cordially invited to attend these

Two inexcusable blunders occurred
in the printed report of the Woman's
club banquet yesterday. The printer
who would set up "Three Cows Sat on
a Tree" for three crows, etc., ought
to rest himself at the bottom
of the Missouri river. It should have
been one hundred guests and not five
hundred, as appeared in print.
Mrs. Lillie Doud Cook, who was
lain to rest yesterday, was followed to
the cemetery by the largest concourse
of people that ever attended a funeral
in this county. When the hearse
reached the cemetery, nearly a mile
from the church, the last part of the
line of carriages had not yet got
started. At the church only a part of
the ladies were able torain admission,
while the men had to ail remain outside.
A Juvenile Party.
A crowd of little folks got up a sur
prise on Edna, the thirteen-year-old
daughter of J. C. Petersen, last even-
ng on account of her birthday
anniversary. Mrs. t'etersen set out a
lovely supper of ice cream, cake, can
dies, etc., which was greatly enjoyed
by the juvenile crowd. The Misses
Alice Petersen and Harriette Mc-
Maken were kept quite busy in assist-
ng Mrs. Petersen to care for the wants
of the little folks, who seemed obliv
ious to evprything but having a good
time. Throwing bean bags was a part
of the evening's entertainment. Mabel
Eaton won the first prize, a nice box
of candy, and Ida Pearlman got the
"boobv" prize. Those present were:

Something of a Mystery.
Sterling, Johnson county, is all torn
up over the revelations of Deal, a
hypnotist. The Sun says: "During
the morning he was experimenting
with one of his subjects by hypnotiz
ing him and having him reveal things
he seemed to see. A chain or necklace
was given him and after dropping it
several times and making other queer
movements ho revealed the fact that
it belonged to a man who had been
murdered, describing the place as
near the creamery, and that the body
was placed in an old well northwest
of the creamery and that a black-eyed
woman did it assisted by some one he
could not distinctly see. The facts are
that the chain beloned to a nephew of
Tom Gage (whom the hypnotic sub
ject also described) and about a year
ago last August he started for Tom's
house, whore he was staying, to go to
the prayer meeting, and ha never
been seen or heard of since, and had
with him at the time a gold watch and
about forty dollars in monej-. The
family supposed he had gone to Lin
coln where his sister lived, and would
send for his elothes, or return soon,
but timo wore on and he did not re
port, so they wrote to all his folks, but
he has not yet been heard of. These
facts and the revelation of the hyp
notic created such an impression
on the minds of a number of fol
lows that they went to the old
abandoned well in the pasture lot
north of the creamery and went to
work digging yesterday morning.
The well was partly filled up two
years or moro ago and has boon
used by neighbors around there as
a grave for dead dogs, cats, pigs
and chickens. As this was the only
well that camo anyways near answer
ing the description of the place ho
grave it was at once settled upon by
those having faith as being the right
place. They bored with a small well
augur until noon and gave up the
search, but later in the day, not being
entireiy-satinea, tnoy got a larger
augur uiid went at it again, deter
mined to go to the bottom of the mys
tery if they had to go to the bottom'of
the old well, which they had not
reached this morning."
