ill! C NHL HAS LIVELVJESSION Councilmen Indulge in Some Very Personal Remarks in Course of Evening. From Tuesday'! Dally All councilman were present last evening when Mayor Sattler's gavel fell except Mr. Dovey of the first ward. The minutes of the last reg ular meeting were read and appro ved without comment. The minutes ot tbe.special meeting of August 31 were then read and only eight alter ations were made and then approved us amended. A large amount of busi ness was then disposed of, the session lasted for two hours, and at times the business was of such moment as to stir the emotions of the council men to an unusual degree, In fact more heat was manifested at last night's session than at any meeting tor some time. The regular order of business was pursued and on the call for petitions and communications, divers matters ere presented for adjustment. The first Item was a communication from P. R. Guthman, requesting the city to make good a washout on the south tide of lots five and six In block fourteen. On motion the matter was referred to the proper committee with power to act. Another petition with Borae fifty signers, asking that a cement walk be placed adjacent to lots fifty-five and fifty-six In section eighteen, town twelve, range fourteen, on motion of Mr. Dookmeyer was referred to the streets, alleys and bridges committee with power to act. The petition of Mrs. Iteece, II. A. Schneider, Jacob Trltsch and John McNurlln for leave to put In a pri vate Bewer connecting with the sewer from Masonic home was voted. The petition of Mrs. McVlcker for cement walk to be put In on west and south of lot seven, In block ninety four, was granted on motion of Mr. Schulhof. Mr. Dwyer suggested that while the cement machine was there, It would be wise to construct the crossing south of this property and connect the walks up to the Gerlng residence, on the east side of the street. The suggestion was favorably acted on by the council and the cross ing ordered In, when walk Is built. The finance committee was then Instructed by a vote of the cojmil to audit the books of the ex-city eferk and report at the next meeting. The finance committee reported favorably on the following bills that bad been referred to It at the former meeting: John nauer & Son, $12.65; J. V. Egenberger, $16; Robert Will, $5; the first two for material and the last for labor. Mr, Weber moved that the mayor be Instructed to employ a city en gineer. This, however, met with some opposition on the part of Messrs Dwyer and Neuman who suggested that the council ought to have a Voice In the selection of the engin eer. Mayor Saltier said there would be no difficulty along that line as the expense before had been about $100 per month, and that he thought the same man could be secured again for a couple of months which would be as long as an engineer would be needed. Mr. Weber thea suggested that the city ought to have a rattler so as to test the brick for the pavement, and that for the small amount of work to be done here It would hardly pay the city to buy one and It was sug gested the city borrow one or hire It. This suggestion was approved by a vote of the council. The treasurer's report was read and placed on file which showed a alance from former report of $8781. 62; amount received during month of August was $1680.06, making a total of $10,461.70. There had been paid out on war rants $986.63 which, with the over drafts of $1222.44, reduced the amount in the city treasury at the end of August to the sum of $8406. 46. Of this sum there Is In the teacher's fund $3086.57, In lighting fund $1048.16, fire and hydrant rent al fund $1111.04, the road fund $940.47, the balance Blattered In the minor funds. Under the head of unfinished busi ness, the bond of the new city clerk was approved and he again took the oath which was In writing and at tached to his bond. , Under the call for new business, Mr. Dwyer moved that the light com pany be Instructed to make good tho washout on Fourth Btreet, which had been the result of a new excavation and the recent heavy rain, and that should the company neglect to re pair the damage, to have the city do eo at once and collect tho cost from the company. The matter was so Voted by tho council. It was next considered that there should bo some meanB of flushing the sewers, public and private, and the matter was re ferred to the city attorney to Investi gate the city's contract with the wa ter company, and find out If there Is not some specification along this line as the comrany had recently refused to flush one of the sewers near the , V. V. Leonard property, j When the Second ward was reach led, Councilman Weber opened a red hot discussion of the council's action in reconsidering at the last meeting, In his absence, a vote at its previous meeting on Weber's motion to ex pend $150 In the opening of Vine street between Eighth and Eleventh. Mr. Weber referred to the statement of the councilman who had moved to reconsider that $2,000 would not be sufficient to open the street and Mr. Weber branded the statement as ab surd In no uncertain terms, and sug gested that the council might have extended him the courtesy not to take action on the matter until he could be present to explain his position. Mr. Weber also stated that he had never bought a piece of property for a song and had the city expend a lot of money to fix up the property as had been done by members of the coun cil. This Insinuation appeared to arouse Mr. Neuman to action and he got the floor as soon as Mr. Weber had finished and made a red hot speech, occasionally emphasizing his remarks by swearing by the Deity that he was an honest man, and had never operated a booze joint In all his life or words to that effect. When Mr. Neuman was seated, Councilman Dookmeyer got the floor and poured oil on the troubled wa ters, by asking for some minor mat ters to be attended to In his ward. The recent rain- had made ditches on all of the inclined streets of the city and there was a general order made to have the street commissioner fill up the dangerous washouts at as little expense bb possible.

MATT HUG KIOLSIOI Tells Mr. Gering Mr. Bryan's At titude on County Option is Wrong. The readers of the Journal know that Hon. Matthew Gerlng of this city has been touring Europe for the past three months and taking in all the principal points. The ronowmg uio patch from Paris, France, gives a portion of an Interview with the Rus sian philosopher: Faris, Sept., 11. Matthew Gerlng of Nebraska visited Count Tolstoi ten days ago as the bearer of a letter of Introduction from William Jennings Bryan. He saw a portrait of Mr. Bryan on the wall of the Russian philosopher's bed room the only pic ture there. A French Journalist, who was recently with Tolstoi, describes him as remarkably vigorous and as taking horseback rides every day, leading where a few younger men are not over desirous of following. Mr. Gerlng on the other hand, affirms that Tolstoi exhibits obvious signs of increasing feebleness. In conversation he criticised Bry an's advocacy of county option to regulate the liquor traffic. "Why," he asked, "should there be any prohibition of the sale of alcholic drink? Why should 1 not have the right to drink Just what I like, provided I do It decently and not to excess? Because one person makes a fool of himself with' liquor is no reason why the next person should be deprived of it. "You people In America seem to be tending wholly In the wrong direction In this matter." Tolstoi opened his eyes very wide when told of the treating custom In America and how it was abused. It seemed to surprise him utterly. As to himself, he said that he took very little alcholic liquor at a time, and that but rarely, because he deemed It his duty to set an example of ex treme moderation to the people. Turning to the political situation in Russia Tolstaoi 6aid that the pres ent czar was disposed to give the nation a genuine constitutional gov ernment,, but that he could never do it because all the princes of his blood were opposed to it. The Noble peace prize being men tioned, Tolstoi said he had learned that It had been proposed to give It to him. He had written, however, to the Noble committee that he could not accept it, asking Instead that it be given to the Doughobors of the Caucasus, who had refused to per form military service because of their hatred for war and had since estab lished themselves, partly through his aid, In Canada.
