The registrars for the special election

fsr two days' work. An exception was at
tempted for the benellt of the roigistrars of
the new First distiict of the Second ward ,

old registry books. Mr. Alorearty's resolu
tion to pay these registrars U5 cents an hour
each for eighty-live hours' work was referred
to the committee on Judiciary. A further ex
ception was made in this case of the officers

A lesolution instructing the city attorney

the smmttors from the Intersection of Doug-
Jus and ICighth streets , was introduced. The

lier imbecile daughter. Mr. Popplcton stated
that It would require at least two years to se
cure the ejectment of the squat
ters In the courts. JIo said the
police or the contr.ictors could remove the
bquattcis and let the litigation come after
wards , but it could not bo done legally.
"That is why I put 'or otherwise' in the
resolution , " said Mr.Vheler. .
"I don't think It fair to ask mo to take the
'otherwise' steps , " Mild Mr. Popplcton.

ported in favor of grading an entrance to
Prospect Hill cemetery from Parker street.
When the milk Inspection ordinance came
up Mr. Wheeler wanted it postponed for
amendment. Mr. ChalTco objected. As a
member of the board of health ho didn't like
the idea of having the council upset all of
the work of the board. The hoard , ho
claimed , had undertaken to Inaugurate
a reform in the milk inspection business and
needed the encouragement rather than the
ubu--o of the council.
Mr. Wheeler said the council had Just do-
elded to allow KO u mouth for a cleric for the
city physician , although ttio charter and the
ordinances relating to thu office made no pro
vision for such clerk or expenditure.
The ordinance was rcccmntittod.

JIo Close * Ills Temperance Itcvlvnl
Amid Great KittliiiHlnKin.
Last night , befiuoau audience which taxed
to the utmost the capacity of the CJrand opcm
house , Francis Murphy brought to a close lib )
season of ten nights of temperance reform.
Speeches wore made by n number of the re
formed ones , nnd vocal numbers were ren
dered by I'l-of. Smith , Mr nn.l Mrs. Foster
and Miss Vostcc of Crcston , In. , us also the
excellent chorus crganl/ed by Prof. Smith.
Mr. Mmphy , In closing , said Unit ho hail
never been treated with more generosity and
kindness In any city than he had been in
Omaha , and that he desired to thank the people
ple of this city for the oame from the fullness
of his heart.
S peak i in ; of saloon men. ho said that if the
people wanted to shut them up the best way
was to keep away from them- for each
ono to go homo und mind his
own business If nobody went near the
preacher that was the end of tlio sermon. If
nobody went near the saloon thut was the
end of the whisky business , lie was tired
of this talk of" legislating what was right.
The legislature was not God. They did not
say "Our Father which art In the legisla
ture. " No ; they said "Our Father which
art in heaven. " The legislature needed re
form us much as anything lie knew of. Ho
thought ho could .safely assert that the s.i-
loon men had lost f.OO since Francis Murphy
had eommei.ccd r.peakingr in Omaha. If
everyone who hud taken the blue ribbon
would go out and do likeu i.se and keep away
from the saloons they \\ould drive out every
salooi. in no time.
Mr Murphy's remarks on this subject were
Icuilly npphiudcd. He eloped his remarks in
a waim ivqncht for nil those who had taken
Mic blue r'bbon to remain steadfast and keep
hi mind the gr\it work they had accom
plished In abandoning t'.o ' llq Jor habit.
Ifc then announced the formation of the
Omaha d'oipel tcmpe''anen union , the presi
dent of which appointed as Mr. C ! . A.
Starr.

They Are failed Up at .1 Meeting of
TJ. S. Grant Post.
The members of U. S. Grant Post , No. 110 ,
G. A. U. , v.vve. in full force last night at Cen
tral Iniii , ' \ here , in company with the mem
bers of oihcr posts , the montlily open meeting
was held.
Thu audience v.is a large one , many ladies
being yrc.scnl.
The meeting was railed to order by Major
Clarkscu , : ilcr ! which the "Old Army Bean"
was sung and chccra ! to the echo.
C. 10. Uurmister , m his inimitable style ,
entertained the audience by reading a paper ,
entitled "Tlio experience of the recruit who
went to the front. " Tlio paper took up the
life of an awkward young man who entered
thoaimy , fiesh from the farm , following
him through his eaieer from
the time ho passed into the hands of the drill
master until ho reached the front.
The address of the evening was delivered
by the IJev. Q. II. Shlnn , who said :
'I am glad to be a member or U. S. Grant
post. I am proud of the name , and again I
am proud of this post because the members
always tell stories , true stories , while the
members of other posts tell ttories that are
not true.
"I was a Virginia soldier , " said the
speaker , "and the first experience I had with
\ ankecs was when wo were In the Sheimn-
doah volley. Of course wo got acquainted ,
and what do you think those Yankees btolo
pigs and went to the owners ot the pigs to
bonow axes to chop up stolen rails
to build llres over which to cook the stolen
pigs ,
'In Virginia there were two sentiments , for
and against secession. Up in the mountains
there was a strong union sentiment , even if
the settlers were Ignorant. Yes , tlioy knew
enough to be true to the old union ling. Tlie
union army utilized thcho ignorant men as
spies , and 1 don't know what they would have
done without thorn , for they knew the ceun-
trv and were true to the grand old flag. "
To Illustrate this ho told pf an incident ,
how ono David Hart went to General McClel-
lan and informed him that with a small body
of men the whole confederate army en
camped upon Kich mountain could bo
captured. The inlornmtion was accepted nnd
following the leadership of Hurt , victory at
tended the enterprise.
" 1 was a private when I entered the ser
vice , " said Mr. Shlnn , but I rose nnd was
promoted to the otllco of corporal. "I can
provo tuts , lor 1 inwo the pictures at homo ,
and to see them will convince you of the
theory of evolution. When 1 look at these
pictures 1 am Inclined to believe in Darwin
ism.
ism."One
"One day wo wore going from Strawslmrg
to Mai'tlnsburg for supplies , for our wagons
were empty and so were we. Wo tried to
buy , beg and borrow of the settlers along the
route , but wo could Bet nothing to eat be
cause wo worn the blue. Wo struck a scheme.
We had a rebel uniform on the wagon , so wo
slipped it on to ono of our men , and putting
this man m front of two bayonets , wo marched
the mun up to the houses along the
road , whore he told the story of his hunger
und sintering. This worked well , and before
night wo hud secured enough food to supply
the whole union army.
"There were some terrible crimes com
mitted in Virginia , There was a poor old
mini in the western part of the state. Ho
would not take the oath to vote with the
, , ° K nwl for this bo wns skinned alive.
1 his is only one case out of hundreds. The
county Jails and the prisons of the state wore
Illled with men whoso only crimes were thut
they would not bo true to secession.
, V ° , llul not liavo "Ult'u shivery In western
„
\ Irginla , but wo had enough , so I hated it ,
and thut wn.s why I took my musket and went
to the front to protect the grand old Hug that
hud been scoffed at and insulted by the rebels.
I was captured bj'tho rebels and east into a
prison cell , where I remained until the stars
and stripes waved over us , the guards were
pushed aside and ouco again wo breathed the
ulr of freedom. " ,
Major Chirkson said ho always thougHt the
Virginians were a bravo lot of fellows , but
after Iiniriug the remarks of Mr. Shiun ho
was thoroughly convinced.
Hov. Mrs. Andrews of the Woman's Uollt-f
covjis , who has twice been elected grand
chaplain of the order , spoke , saying ;
"I have something of the same feeling as If
I were culled out UMlflit to go to thu front.
But I feel that I hnvo been called upon too
suddenly , a little woman who loved to
spenk to the boys. I have Iwen before
the Cirand Army of the Hepubllc upon some
of the soul-stirring occasions , and I
thank God for it. I am now training a little
boy , nnd I Intend to teach him in such n way
that should necessity demand , ho may some
time bo called by the title by which 1 address
you tonight comrades ,
"You fought In a glorious cause , nnd In n
glorious way your comrade * testify to > ils
tonight. How I envy the mini who can go
before nn audience and tell such thrilling
tales , Do you not see the opportunity of
doing bravo work ! Where nro tlie iiillucnces
being brought to bear upon the youth to
teach them patriotism ) Kc.ho answers ,
where I
"Wo look to you , members of the Grand
Army ot the Hcpuhllc and Woman's
Kcllef corps , to teach this les
son , so that should the enemy
Invade our homes these boys will bo as ready
to do ami dnro as were yoaf my brothers ,
when the dark days of liOl threatened our
land. ,
"I had n father. Down In the state of Mis
souri ho was shot by ono of those dastardly
bushwhackers. How much prouder I would
have felt had lie fallen upon the Held of battle
than to have been shot down by one of those
cowards.
"I never wns proud of Virginia until to
night , but Mr. Shlnn has made mo change my
mind. I had an uncle living there , nnd he
was a slave holder. I was born there , but my
parents moved mo away when [
was three years old. But notwithstand
ing the remarks of Mr. Shlnn , I
think Virginia is n good place In which to bo
born , but 1 still think it is a good state to get
nuny from. "
Mi's. Andrews closed her speech by paying
n glowing tribute to the old soldiers and the
work they Inwo accomplished in keeping the
poorund needy of the order.
THE MTKUATUKi : OF AllT.
Mi-H. Kpysor'H Address Itoforn the
AVe.stcrn Art AHPoolatlon.
At the regular monthly meeting of the
Western art association , held at Mr. Llnin-
gcr's gallery last night , Mrs. W. W. Keysor
of the high school delivered a most interestIng -
Ing nnd Instructive address on "Tho Litera
ture of Art. " Mrs. Keysor docs not read
papers but is bubbling over with her subject
and talks to her beard's In a conversational
style and In an cnlcrtalng way conveys sug
gestions for ninny nn hour's thought. Her
audience last night consisted of the leading
artists of the city and she succeeded In keep
ing them interested for about an hour.
She gave ilrst her estimate of the Import
ance of artists becoming acquainted with the
history of art , nnd then gave a list of the
authors who could best serve that purpose
through nil the eras from the ancient Grecian
period down to the present time. Introduc
tory to the mime of each author the speaker
gave n running talk of the time and works
produced during tlio different peiiods , and
emphasised the fact that the study of art
must bo a philosophical study , that the
characteristics of each school could be ac
counted for by the surroundings and circum
stances of time nud place.
A vote of thanks wns tendered ut the eon-
elusion of tlie address , after which the asso
ciation transacted its routine business.

TII'O EIMM'IXd VOVl'LES
Four Loving Hearts Conic to Grief nt
Kansas City.
ICvxsisClTY , Mo , , May 1 ! ! . [ Special Tele
gram to Tun BBI : . ] Love's young dream
had a rude awakening in the outskirts of this
city today. It was tlio arrest of two eloping
couples from Ohlllieothe , Mo. , by n police
man of this city. About noon a rickety old
lumber wagon was jolting noisily along the
southwest boulevard. The horses were sorry
specimens of the equine species. Ono wns
blind of an cyo and ring-boned , while the
other was wheezing with the heaves and had
the string-halt. Seated on two rough Boards
which lay across the wagon-bed were two
handsome young couples. In the front scat ,
driving , was Thomas Pan- , thirty years old ,
and by his side a handsome blonde of fifteen ,
named Emma , Slogal , her pretty luce all but
hidden by a hideous sun bonnet. In the
back seat , oblivious of everything but each
other , sat John Smith , twenty years old ,
and Lou Grasscn , aged about eighteen.
The odd looking outfit , coupled with the
spoony actions of the people , attracted much
attention as they entered the city. Policeman
Perry was one of the observers , and , recog
nising them as the parties wanted on a tele
gram received trom Chillicothe a couple of
days ago , halted the party and questioned
them. They were the ones wanted. Their
arrest was ordered by the parents of the girls.
The elopement occurred last Wednesday , and
the time since then has been put in by the
voung people on u quasi honeymoon trip
through the country. The parents will arrive
in the morning. Tonight the young men are
locked up in a cell nt the police station , while
the girls are meditating on the folly of their
ways in n locked room at the house of the
Good Shepurd.
