The only nWntcoj when the council con
vened last night were Mosirs. CuafTea , Con-
ivny and Cooler.
Tbo routine business , or a portion of it , bad
boon dUpoicd of when City Cleric John
Groves picked up n bundle of papers , which
bo Bixld contained the names of tbo Judges and
clerks of election who had been selected by
Mayor Cushlnp.
Mr. Osthod moved that the list bo ac
cepted and the appointments confirmed.
Mr. Mom.irty seconded tbo motion and
then a discussion followed.
Mr. Olscti thought the list should bo re
ferred and considered at a special mooting.
The mooting could bo hold todny.
Mr. Moronrty opposed any delay as tbo
county commissioners Intending holding a
special mooting this afternoon and it was
necessary that the names should no pro-
Bontcd to them.
Mr. Spocht did not see now a a clay of a
few hours could tvork any harm to oltbcr
democrats or ronubllcans.
Mr. Davis insisted that the names of the
appointees be read.
Mr. OUeu said bo had no doubt but that
tbo mayor.had ucted honestly in tbo prem
ises , but bo wanted to hoar the names.
OstliofTs Earnest Denial.
Mr. Os'hofT said that there had boon
R great deal said about bis having
named many of the judges. He had
not suggested a name. The confirmation ,
bo said , should bo made at once. Mr. Davis
remarked that it was understood that the
matter was much Ilka a Jug handle. It was
a good deal upon one side. Ho bad noaru it
stated tbut serious charges bad neon pre
ferred against some of the appointees and
wanted to hoar the names.
Mr. Morearty bad glanced over the names
nnd thought the mayor had acted well. If
Mr. Davis bad any information that Indi
cated that the appointees wcro not what
they should be ho must have got his informa
tion from the papers.
Mr. Olscn said that public opinion was
somothiug , and it would be a satisfac
tion to the mayor to bavo him know
that the council bad scrutenizod bis appoint
ments. It win no reflection upon tbo mayor
or any other person.
Mr. OsthofI denied most emphatically that
be bad mimed tbo Judges. Ho wanted to see
the list acctiptrd or rejected at onco.
Mr. Elsasser was of tbo opinion that It was
too Into to buvo tbo list referred to a commit
tee. Tno mayor had selected good men.
Mr. Davis 'made the statement that the
republican citv and county central committees
bad sent the mayor a list of names from
which to select Judges and clerics. The
mayor had disregarded the requests of the
committees nna had put on but few of tbo
names presented. Those that bo bad selected
were for clerks nnd not for Judges.
This applied not only to tbo
Ninth , out to other wards. Where
the mayor had selected a republican , ho nad
selected him as a clerk to do the writing ,
and the matter of Judging baa been loft
wholly In the hands of the democrats.
Kcnilini ; the Nninci.
For the third time Mr. Osthoff insisted
that ho had numod none of the Judges and
clerics.
Mr. Olscn demanded that the nnmos bo
road.
road.Again Mr. Osthoff objected , stating that
the mayor had used great care In making his
selections. Mr. OstholT knew Unit tbo mayor
bad dealt squarely with all political parties.
President Lowry ruled that it was only fair
that the council should know the names of
the appointees. Ulork Groves then read the
names.
Aftur the cleric hail read for some time Mr ,
Bccbel uslicd if the list showed tbo political
leanings of the appointees. It did not.
Mr. Elsassi-r said there was nothing in the
law compelling the appointment of either
republicans or democrats.
Mr. Bechel thought there was , nnd that
Mr. nisusser did not know as much about
law as be did about shaving.
Mr. Osthoff Insisted that everything was
lovely. The council had trusted to Mayor
Casting's honesty for nearly two vcurs and
could do so for two months longer.
No person questioned that and the cleric
was informed that ho could continue bis
reading.
First Man Spotted.
Mr. DavU aid not want to do any one any
injustice but would ask If any man In the
room know Gilbert Blue.
No person vouched for Mr. Blue.
Mr Davis said ho thought Mr. Bine , who
bad been appointed from the Ninth dlsirict
of the Sixth ward , was the saiuo Gilbert
Blue who was indicted at the January term
of the United States court for passing
counterfeit money.
Mr. Specht of the Sixth ward did not know
Mr. Blue , out in listening to the reading of
tbo names he had noticed that onlv two re
publicans nad boon appointed in the Sixth
ward. Mr. Spocnt wanted a fair election , a
Salr count , and nothing elso.
For the foutth time Mr. Osthoff opined
that ho had not nnmod u Judge. Ho had
Ousted Crushing 1'or two years and was not
sick of bira Mr. Osthoff moved the list no
nccoptod. This was seconded.
Villain mill Unjust ,
Mr. Davis had watched the reading and
knew that of the judges namud , nine-tenths
wore democrats.
Mr. Olsen argued that tbo appointment of
Judge * was unfarrutid unjust. If ho was the
mayor ho nould not want to go on record as
prostituting his oftloial position by naming
all democrats.
Mr. Morearty tried to got off n Joke by say-
lug that democrats were intelligent and the
people wanted intelligence on the election
board.
Mr. Davis celled tbo Seventh ward coun
cilman to order. Ho did not propose to bo
Insulted , nor did ho propose to have his con
stituents insulted.
Mr. Bruner did not charge any person -with
unfairness , but the list showed that nearly
nil of tno judges appointed wcro democrats.
He admitted that the democrats were in the
ranjorltv , but could any democrat stand up
and vote for such a proposition as tbo
mayor had submitted 1
Again Mr. Davis asKcd that the council
moot this morning to dispose of the appoint
ments ,
Tried Onir I.nw
A democrat wanted to cut otT debate and
called for Ibo previous question.
Mr. Uochol moved that the council meet at
10 o'clock this morning and act upon the list.
The motion was ruled out of order.
Mr. Ostlioff said the mayor could bo soon
at once and Induced to substitute some other
name In plaoo of that of Gilbert Bluo.
The previous question was put and tbo
rote was as foliou :
Ayes BurdUh , Donnelley , HUasEOr , Mad-
sen , Morearty. Osthoff , Tuttle and Mr. t'ros-
iaent 8.
Nays Bechel , Bluraor , Bruner , Davis , Mc-
Leario , Olscu and Spocht 7.
The democrats Incued two votes of con
firming tbo appointments.
Mr. OstbotT said that bo felt bad. and
while be was feeling so. aikod President
Lowry to explain the Osthoff vote on the pas
bill.
President Lowrv explained and Informed
Mr. Osthoff that if bo lOstbolT ) wai guilty ,
then the whole council was guilty.
Mr. Osthoff said bo was satisfied and
hoped tbo information would go before the
nubile , as ho wanted to square blmsulf with
the men who intended to vote for a mayor
next Tuesday.
President Uo.vry did not think Mr. Ost
hoff bad done anything criminal in voting as
bo did , '
Itlght nnd Politics.
Taking up the regular order of business ,
Mr. Klsanor Introduced a resolution osictng
for a oommlttoo to confer with the electric
light company to ascertain why somo-
Uung had not boon douo toward * get
ting ready to light the city with Incandescent -
candescent lights. The contract pees
into effect on the first day of next month.
President Lowry appointed Mr. Klsassor ,
Tuttle and Blumor us such committee.
Mr. Lowry talked politic * . He &ld that
it hud coma to his can that
man In thu employ of tbo city
were after candidates and demanding
money for tboir political Influence. If ho
could locate such employes Tie would prefer
charges against thorn. The president hoped
that o.icu and every member of the council
would do the sauo thine. U was not tbo
correct thing for city employes to demand
money of candidates ,
Mayor Cusbing presented a communica
tion relative to the 'land at Twenty-ninth
avenue nnd Farnam street. The Board of
Education had fenced up the tract because
the city bad not purchased it from the board.
The mayor advised the removal of Uio fence ,
Mr. Davis said the Board of Education had
n right to build the fence , as the city bad not
lived up to its contract. The matter was
referred.
Karl C. Hoffman , who fell through n de
fective sidewalk on Cnmlng , between Forty-
fourth nnd Forty-fifth streets , thereby sus
taining severe injuries , presented a claim ,
demanding tlO.lXW damages. This was re
ferred to the city attornov.
Tbo contract and bond of the Bandcrn
Ktouo company to lar permanent srdcwalks
nt 21 cents nor square foot was presented for
approval. Mr. Davis asked if that was not
the same stone that the Highland Kansas
Stone company offered to lay at 1C cents per
square yard some weeks aio.
Chairman Btrichausor of the Board of
Public Works said that it was the same
stone , but under a different name.
The contract xvas rejected , Thovoto being
S for approval and 0 for rejection.
Routine Work Knilcd.
The bid of W. T. Whnlen to lay water
pipes from the water mains to the curb line
was accepted and tbo contract approved.
' 1 he city engineer reported that ho had ex
amined the iron election booths being con
structed by Gus Andrecn nnd that they were
practically according to contract , The re
port was adopted nnd the engineer Instructed
to accept tbo booths and deliver the keys to
the city clerk
Pollco Judge Hclsloy reported that during
the mouth of September bo had collected
5M2.4r ( > in fines. Of tno amount fl.JMiS belonged -
longed to the school fund and the balance to
the general fund. The report was accepted
and placed on file.
The city appraisers reported $100 damages
in grading Mason from Twenty-second to
Twenty-fourth street.
The council voV-d to allow Charles F. Zio-
man 500 In full 01 all demands. Last July a
young son /Ionian was drowned In a pond
on Thirty-fifth street between Davenport
and Chicago. Soon after tbo drowning the
father sued the city.
Property owners protected against the
construction of a sewer in Isaacs & Griilln's
addition. The prayer of the petitioners was
granted.
Tbo petition to pave Thirty-ninth from
Burl to Cuming streets with cedar
blocks was placed on iilo , as tno city had
no cedar block specifications.
Hack to First Principles.
The matter of Mavor Cushlng's appoint
ments wcro again brought up for discussion.
The mayor's clerk had returned and had
brought the name of B. U. Ball , which was
substituted for that of Gilbert Blue.
Mr. Davis then moved to reconsider the
vote on Judges and clerks taken at an early
hour in tbo evening.
Mr. Muroorty wanted to know what was
thu matter.
Mr. Davis replied that it meant nothing
onlv to have the matter lay over a few hours
for the purpose of trying to arrange for fair
ness.
President Lowry talked for harmony. As
one member of the council ho had tried to
select good men in his ward. If the mayor
hod made a mistake , then lot tno blaroo rest
where it belonged. When Bron'.ch was
major he bad sent in the names of judges and
clerks of election and tbo democrats hud not
kicked. There was no reason why the repub
licans should kick now. The president
tnought it showed poor grace for the mem
bers of the republican central committee ,
to come into tbo council chamber and work
against the mayor's appointments. Thodelav
was only for tbo purpose of getting a lot of
A. P. A. men , who were a curse to their own
party and also to every person with whom
they associated. Tbo council , bo said , should
sot down on tbo A. P. A. , and all republicans
who were in favor of delaying the appoint
ment of judges.
IlcpublicaiiH Not In It.
Mr. Olsen replied that under the Broatch
administration tbo democrats did not bavo
any reason to kick , as they had always had
a fair show.
Mr. Oslhoff said that as far as the Fifth
ward was concerned he thought everything
was satisfactory. Ho knew that ho had
named none of tbo judges and clerics.
Mr. OUeu furnished the information tnat
in tne First district of the Eighth ard but
ono republican bad been named , and bo as a
clerk. Turning to tbo democrats ho said :
"If you gentlemen want to bo fair nnd hon
est , why not wait a low hours and let us
confer ! "
Mr. Osthoff volunteered that the only dls-
satisfaction with the juugcs and clerks was
in the council. The people were satistled.
"I hear plenty of talk upon the street , " re
plied Mr. Olson , "and it is n common report
that there is something wrong , "
The vote to reconsider was put and de
feated by a vote of 7 to S.
Mr. Donnelly moved a call of tbo house
and the sergcant-at-arms was sent after the
absentees.
After waiting nn hour Mr. Bochel moved
that further proceedings under the call bo
dispensed with. The motion was lost as Mr.
Burdish bad disappeared.
There was another wait , and an hour later
Burdish was run Into the room.
The roll was then called and the appoint
ments wcro confirmed by a vote of 10 to 4 ,
Mr. Bcchol voting with tno democrats.
The usual number of ordinances were dis
posed of and just after tno clock sttuck the
hour of midnight tbo council adjourned.

Mr. Sol Smith'Russell will open an engage
ment of three nights and Saturday matlneo
at Boyd's theater tomorrotv evening , present
ing his successful new play , "Peaceful
Valley. " Mr. Russell has for years held first
place among American comedians. There is
no actor today who has greater power over
the fcelincs of nn audience and who can tnora
readily move them by the magic of his art to
smiles and tears at will. The plat for the solo
of scats opened this morning. Thcro is no
need of expanding upon this engagement.
Bryant and Richmond and a company of
clover comedians will begin a three nights'
engagement at the Farnam Street theater
this evening in George Hooy's laughable
farce comedy , "Keep It Dark. " "Keep It
Dark" abounds in ludicrous situations ,
laughable climaxes , Intermingled with plenty
of good , catchy music and clover specialties.
Judged by achievements nnd the art of
entertaining , no actor on the American stage
today can be said to possess the brilliant
accomplishments of Nat C. Goodwin. Ho
belongs to the younger school of actors , upon
whoso shoulders will shortly rest the reputa
tion nnd honor of the American stage. Mr.
Goodwin la yet a very young man , and when
ho shall bavo attained bis maturity bis place
among the world's greatest actors will"havo
been secured. After an absence of three
years Mr. Goodwin returns to us , nnd will
present two of his most recent successes ,
in which he was most acceptably received by
the British public. On Sunday evening
next. "The Nominee" will be presented , and
on Monday night "A Gold Mine. " The en
gagement will close Tuesday night witn a
repetition of "The Nominee. "
Commencing Sunday , November 1 , ut the
Farnam street theater for lour nichts , Mr.
George C. Staloy will be seen In "A Koynl
Pass , " and nis part , that ol a Swiss guido ,
gives him every opportunity for the display
of his talents , both as an actor and a singer.
His manager , Mr Parker , has surrounded
him with the bust cast money could procure.
Of tbo scenic effects tno croat locomotive
race Is said to be ono of the most wonderful
and realistic railroad scenes ever produced in
this city , and altogether Mr. Staloy promises
to bo one of the best attractions offered to us
this season.
Next Sunday McKee Ran Inn and his com
pany will present his pastoral comedy "Tbo
Canuck" at the Grand opera house. The
success wnich "Tho Canuck" met with last
season in Omaha warrants the prediction
that McKee Han Kin will repeat his triumph.

The romance of tbo steamboat ago may
have departed from the Missouri , but thu
glamour of adventure still hovers over Its
interminable meandenncs. Tied to tbo
river bank near the Union Pacific bridge
lies the steamer Montana , which put Into the
port ot Omaha yesterday after a perilous
voyage , which is said to bo without parallel
In the history of the river.
To tbo average reader the term " .steamer"
will bring up n mental picture of a big , bulKy
cralt with a numerous crow , more or loss
picturesque nnd profane. But the Montana
is not that kind of n steamer. She is only
about twontv-threo foot long , her crow con
sists of ono man and she long ago discarded
steam.
The crew of this vessel is R C. Illto of
Bozetnan , Mont , The Board of Tradoof that
ambitious } onng city provided him with ad
vertising circulars to scatter along his course
to tbo Gulf of .Mexico. Tncsc dub him Com
modore Hite , and commodore it shall be , for
ho has fairly earned the right to wear n han
dle to his naroo.
The commodern has been a frontiersman
for ttiirty-nlno years , and eleven years ago
he drifted to Bozemnn. Tbo winters of that
northern country huvo been too severe for
bis health and something over a year aeo he
concluded to spend the cold weather of the
ensuing winter In tbo balmy south. Ho fur
thermore decided to make the journey to
Florida by water. Ho built a neat of moun
tain tlr and lilted it with an engine nnd screw.
She was launched upon the Big Muddy n
stone's throw from ono of the sources of that
mighty stream , and on on September Id ,
WQ , over n year ago , began her long voyage
to the land of ( lowers.
Tbo unparalleled part of Commodore Hlte's
feat lies in the fact that ho embarked farther
up the river than any other voyageur of tbo
Missouri , shot through rapids never before
attempted on an extended trip down the
river , and , when ho reaches the Mississippi ,
will have accomplished the longest voyage on
this stream of which there Is any record. At
least that is what the commodore claims.
The Montana was launched 400 miles above
Bcnton , which is thu head of navigation.
About 150 miles down stream , lifter snooting
a number of rapids and escaping several
deaths , tno commodore concluded that the
engine was a detriment rather than a help
on the upper river , so ho took out the ma
chinery and shipped it back to Bozemnn.
Ho has made only ono portage on the trip.
The boat was taken out of the
river at Great Falls , carried by ivacon
around five falls , n distance of forty miles ,
nnd again dropped into the treacherous cur
rent at Benton.
Tbo commodore did not spend last winter
In Florida. He reached Wllllston on Novem
ber 0 , and when ho got un the next morning
bo found himself frozen in that Is. the river
was covered with ice. . Ho re-embarked on
May 20 and reached Sioux City .luly 20.
During this partof ttjotrip the heat , com-
Ijined with the labor of lifting the big ooatoff
sand bars and keeping her in the channel
with n pair of oars , weakened the commodore
until bo could barely lift an oar. In fact , but
for help he mignt have succumbed He laid
UD at "Sioux Citv for personal repairs and
called in a doctor. , llo did not got iway
from that port unlfl October 15 , and
and made tne voyage to Omaha in twelve
days. Ho expects to reach Now Orleans
about Christmas and.u-illsail alone tbo culf
coast to Florida. On reaching St , Louis ho
will rig his boat with a sail and put on a
thousand-pound keel.
The commodore's cxperienro has been
rather varied. Ho has slept In his boat every
night while on the river. He has cooked his
own meals over a coal , oil stove. In one
stretch of 900 mites on Jt.be upper river there
were but two settlements , nnd as this fresh
water salt has no tooth the management of
cuisine nas been something of a problem. Hn
smilingly says he ovens the score with his
stomach by indulging in an oyster stow
at every big city ho passes. The
commodore has probably discovered more
lands than \\oro bcforo dreamed of bv
navigator , ancient or modern. He has struck
an average of two sandoars every dav of his
voyaeo. and nad to get out and pull his bout.
As trio Montana weighs 2,500 .pounds ho has
had plenty of exercise.
Tne commodore is lying to in Omaha for
George Wilioy , who is to accompany him
down the river. Wilioy enlisted in an army
band for the musical practice it would cive
him , was sent to Ft. Keogh , remained a year
or more , got enough and bought bis dis
charge. He , too , floated down the river , rfo
overtook thu commodore nbovo Sioux City
nnd helped him into that port. Ho then
Joined a local band to piny during the Corn
Palace season.

Above diagram -was drawn and verified in all its details ty Prof. Peter j
Collier , who is pre-emiuetit as a Chemist , and Scientist The illustration is' '
made in accoidance with his chemical tests of each brand enumerated.
The Carbonic ucid gas was calculated to get the leavening strength and j
the quantative analysis to ascertain the comparative whoksoracness , purity , |
and general usefulness of the leading Powders. The result of Prof. Collier's
examination and test , reveals the fact , that , with but one exception , every i
brand tested contained cither Ammonia or Alum , and a number both.
Not one woman in ten thousand would use an Ammonia or Alum Baking
Powder if she knew it Such Powders not only undermine the health , but
ammonia imparts a sallow or blotched complexion.
NOTB. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder , as shown by Prof. Collier's
examinations , is the only pure Cream Tartar Powder found free from adulter
ation nnd the highest in strength. All authorities report Dr. Price's free from
Ammonia , Alum , Lime , or any other adulterant The purity of this ideal
Towder has never been questioned.
Indicates the Fontler containing either Ammonia or Alum.
jf indicates the Powder containing both Ammonia and Alum.
While the diagram shows some of these Ammonia or Alum Powders
to be of higher strength than others classed below them , it mutt not betaken
that they jx > ssess any value. ATI Ammonia or Alum powders should ba
avoided as dangerous , no matter how liifih their etreagtU.
