Otlior Mat tern.
The council got the laugh on President
Lowry nt.tlio rc&ulnr mooting hold last
Jilght.
Last January when the council was organ-
Jzocl the republicans were not in It to any
great oxtnnt. Mr. ChafTco was appointed
chairman of the committee on rules. Mr.
.Davis cupturcd the chairmanship of the coin-
jiilUeooti pints and additions. Slnco that
date , whlto reports of ether committees have
boon transmitted to the council for approval
or rejection , these gentlemen huvo sat quietly
by and listened.
Last nlgljt as the commlltcos were called ,
In duo tlmo , Prosldont Lowry remarked ,
"lias the committee on rules any roportl"
"Norm , Mr. Prosldont , " responded Mr.
Chaff co.
"Has the committee on plats and additions
nny roportl"
"Nono , Mr. President , " answered Mr.
Davis.
The ether fourteen members laughed , and
then President Lowry remarked , "I'll bo
with" you nftor the first of the year. "
"It does look that way , Tom , " answered
Mr. Davis and then the members laughed
again.
One Poll Book
The council expected to receive the report
of the canvassing board , but it was not forth
coming. In going through the returns from
various precincts tbo board had discovered
that the poll book of the Second dls trlct of
the Eighth ward had not boon returned to
tbo city clerk. The snrgeant-at-nrms had
been to the homo of J. W. Furnns , one of the
Judges , and that gentleman bad Informed him
that ho know nothing about the book , that
lie had returned all books und blanks that ho
had received.
City Clerk Groves stated that in the matter -
tor of the district referred to the Judiro bad
returned to him the poll book of the Boardof
Education , but the city poll book was no
where to bo found.
Mcb.srs. Brutior and Olson agreed
to Investigate and locate the book.
With that understanding the council
concluded to sit nt1 o'clock this nftor-
iioou to hear the report of the canvassing
board. The returns of the eighty-seven dis
tricts canvassed were not footed , but when
completed the result will show practically
the same figures us were published In Tun
Boo several days ago.
Given Their First LOSHOII.
Councllmcn-oloct Prince , Edwards and
Btcolo sat in the lobby as silent witnesses to
tbo proceedings. Mr. Elsassor saw them
nnd at once moved that they bo invited
Within the rail. Tbo motion prevailed and
the gentleman were provided with chairs
end for several hours they looked nnd
listened.
By resolution the city attorney was In
Btructcd to confess Judgment in favor of
Emily U. Whitlock for the sum of2,050. .
The Judgment settles the question of the pay
ment for a tract of land In the vicinity of
Twenty-ninth and Fnrnam streets. Tbo land
In question was taken for the purpose of
opening u street.
Chairman Blrkbausor of the Board of
Public Works Informed the council that the
water works company refused to tap the
water mains in streets where the contracts
lor making connections had been awarded.
Ho snld the company refused to oven lot tno
contractor tap tbo mains and make tbo con
nections.
Mr. Osthoff wanted n committee of three
nppointcd to confer with the water works
company.
Mr. Davis said there was no conference
necessary. The tlmo hud como when the city
f hould declared Itsolt and llud out whether
the water works company or the people
owned the city.
Mr. Clmffeo stated that n machine for tap
ping mains could bo purchased lor $100 , and
If bought tbo contractor could do the work.
Mr. Davis offered an amendment that the
comptroller purctiasc the machine and that
the contractor bo instructed to do his duty.
Mr , Cooper spoke in favor of the amendment
mont nnd declared that it was tune that the
city should assert Its rights.
Tno amendment carried , all of the sixteen
members voting "yea. "
City Engineer Tillftm called tbo attention
of the council to the fact that tboro was a
largo amount of work for the board of equal
ization to transact. Ho said that , under the
now system there would buve to bo now no
tices served and published. Ho asked for in
structlons.
Upon motion Messrs. Davis , Donnelly and
Moronrty were appointed u committee to confer
for with Engineer Tillsou relative to the
plan to be pursued.
I'ny Tor the Ilojcistr.ira.
The registrars who sat prior to the recent
oltv election presented a communication
nsklng what they were to bo paid for their
services. Mr. Morearty sold that last year
they were paid $1(0 ( each , and ho saw no roa
aon why they should not bo pnld the same
this year. The men had served llvo days
ouch.
ouch.Mr , Davis was of the opinion that $ ,10
would be too much.
Mr. bpocht thought that if they were paid
$ C5 each they would bo satlslled.
Mr. Conway wanted the men paid nt least
fO per dev , ns thev bad earned their uionoy.
Mr. Tuttle hnd llcurod the bills under the
eight hour law and had found that tbo extra
tlmo would amount to fa.UIO.
Mr. Hrunor said tbo law provided that
registrars should bo paid W per day. If they
Borvod nix days ho saw no reason why they
f hould bo paid double what the law provided
for.
for.U was at last decided to allow the rogls.
trars not to cxccod10 nach.
Tbo comptroller was authorized to advertise
tiso for bids for furnishing the city with
lumbar , stationery , horse feed , printing
books , advertising and lithographing durlnc
the ensuing.vear ,
To Store Kloutlon Ilootlin.
There were two bids for constructing
bed in which to store the election booths at
Eleventh and Nicholas streets. J. A
Knowlos bid teJ.SO anil William Ulco 110.
Mr. Cooper moved to award the contract to
thu lower bidder.
Mr. ObtholT said .that the Motropohtai
Streat railway contemplated holding an election
tion nnd why not wait until It was docldoi
to hold that election.
Mr. EUassur urged that there had boon no
advertisement Inserted , asking for bids. Ho
never hoard of such u way of letting a con
tract.
Mr. Cooper withdrew his motion , nftor
which Mr. Davis moved that the comptroller
ndvortlse llvo days for bids for removing the
booths to the city's lot on Eleventh nm
Nicholas streets , where a building for tholr
etorago will bo orootod. The motion pro-
vailed.
Put O'Horno ' , who served under the diroc
tton of the Board of Public Works ns an In
upootor , asked for twenty-one days' pay , H
hnd boeu ulscharaod without causa.
The people residing at the west end of th
Farnam street car line asked that the iroi
booth at Forty-llrst and Fanmm streets b
loft during the winter as n waiting room.
Mr. Osthoff was In a bad humor. Ho salt
that ho did not propose that the city fdrnUh
booths for lion coops and wood sheds
If the Street Hallway company wantoi
n depot. It should build ono.
Mr , Davis said the taxpayers paid for the
booths and thuy should havu some rights.
Mr. Clmffeo thought that It was a bac
precedent to establish.
Mr. Olson Raid that It was not grunting
railway company a favor , but the residents
of the western part ot tbo city.
Mr. Coopnr was of the opinion that It woul
bo n great accommodation to the people wes
of Fortieth street.
The motion to allow the booth to bo usoi
s a waiting room was laid on the table.

There was a very pleasant gathering of

con Gregory also assisted.
After music and prayer Rev. G. C. Peck
read a scripture lesson and the choir sang an
anthem. /
Deacon Vundervoort introduced the pastor ,
Hov. 13. N. Harris , in a short und appropri
ate address.
Uov. F. W. Foster then welcomed Kov.
Harris to the pulpit nf Bom Eden und to the
ministerial work in Omaha. His remarks
wore particularly fitting and happy.
Hov. A. W. Lamar delivered tfco charge to
tlio pastor , which was responded to by Kov.
Harris in well chosen words.
Kov. S. E. Wilcox delivered the charge to
the church nnd this was responded to bv
Deacon Gregory.
The exorcises closed with a prayer by Dr.
Stone and nn anthem from the choir.
Kov. E. N. Harris is n young man of
strontr , sterling characteristics and thorough
education. Ho is nn earnest and successful
preacher and Is much esteemed by tbo peonlo

General Davis and that centloman has defended -

It has been probably definitely decided by

tee that the total number of Judges must bo

making. They want to dissipate the popular
Idea that American potters nro loss skillful

A freight car famine Is again threatened
on the western roads , the lull which took
place In grain shipments from the west dur
ing the greater part of October taving again
piven place to great activity and all tbo roads
Hud it dilllcult to send forward all the frolpht
offered them as fast as they recolvo it. The
gross earnings of each road nro now solely
dependent upon its ability to take care of the
business , and this state of affairs Is expected
to continue for many months to como. Should
anything unusual occur to interfere with the
running arrangements o' nny of the roads a
blockade of Its lines would bo the inevitable
result , and the probabilities are that orders
would have to bo issued to refuse all freight
ottered until the blockade could bo raised.

A Notable Sonnoi ) , pn tlio Sulijcct of
Itpount I'olltloul Kvr-iitH.
The sonnon nroachod by Bishop Scannall
last Sunday bas created qulto a sensation
among members of Ills church as wall AS
among 1'rotostnnts.
In clotng tils effort'tho ! ' bishop said the
gospel ho bud road r6mlmicd him of recent
events In this city. Hi referred especially
to the anti-Catholic movement which bad
given Catholics of Urn aim so much concern
the past few weeks. Ho did not , ho said ,
rcfor to the matter for the purpose of vindi
cating thochurchngainsiculumnlous attacks.
It was unnecessary to do HO because ho sup
posed nobody believed them except persons
who were so Ignorant or fanatical tunt no
Vindication however complete coula bo
expected to make nn Impression
on tboir minds. Attacks of thut
kind were as old as thn church.
The very founder of the Christian religion
was himself the object of them. Ho "was
accused of oelng disloyal , n deceiver of the
pcoplo nnd a malefactor , mid as such su tie red
on the cross. The Ufa of the church mustuo
Ilka the lifo of her divine founder. Christ
hail told his apostles that the world would
hate them , but said the S.ivlor , "It hated me
before you. " If they had been of the world ,
thu world would have loved Its own. Hut ns
they were not of thu world , thoroforn the
world bated them. Christ bad also told his
apostles to have confidence , because ho hud
overcome tbo world. Thoroloro , Catholics
could always , meet calumnious attacks
on tholr religion , not only with patience ,
but with confidence. Such attacks helped
Iho cause of true religion. For a while the
public might bo confused by the noisy clamor
of tbo onemlos of tbo church , but truth was
great , nnd In the end would prevail. Catho
lics might therefore safely lu.\vo such at-
tucks to the Intelligence , good sonsa and
spirit of fair play whloh so eminently char
acterize the American pooplo.
The bishop's object In speaking of the mat
ter was , he . * nld , to point out to Catchollcs
the obligation which the moral law Imposed
on them with regard to their duties as citi
zens. To vote fora cjiididnto for oflico was
n moral act , for which a man would bo ns ac-
oountablo ns for any other deliberative act.
In discharge of the duty they were bound to
have regard for the welfare of thu nation or
tbo state or the community , ns the case
might bo. They should therefore consider
whether the candidates were lit for the posi
tions to which they aspired , and whether
the policy they advocated would bo condu
cive to tlio public welfare. No doubt , politi
cal parties were necessary to insure a irood
and honest government , but in municipal
elections It was rarely necessary to consider
moro thnn tbo fitness of the candluatos
themselves. To vote , therefore , for a candi
date who was not n good citizen and an
honest man , who might , per
haps , bo notoriously unlit for
a position of trust , simply
because ho was a Gorman or an Irishman or
because he belonged to a certain political
party would bo an Immoral act and would bo
a sin. It was notorious that many of the city
governments in the United Status were cor
rupt and In too many cases Catholics could
not bo hold blninoloss.for that state of affairs ,
for in too many cases thov allowed them
selves to bo led by impostors who proclaimed
themselves Catholics "while they woi-o so only
In uamo or only nt election time.
It was true the Catholic church should not
bo hold responsible for the actions of such
men , but these who were not Catholics
could not always bo expected to
distinguish between men and the
religion they professed. Anti-Catholic
movements originating In causes of this kind
might do harm to religion ana for this barm
Catholics bad themselves to blame.
Tbo bishop also said that it was absurd
that Catholics should bo tied to anyone polit
ical party. They should , on ttio contrary , bo

Hnmllen ) > ) > cl by til * I'ncn An Indian
Admitted to I'rnCtlcc.
In the United States court yesterday nf tor-
noon Judge Dundy listened to motions for
continuance forncouploof hours and then
had n Jury called and took up the case
of the United Stales against John Mc
Carthy tinon n charge of selling liquor
to the Indians. McCarthy pleaded guilty to
the charge , but said bo had simply sold a
bottle of nhlskoy , ns n matter of accommo
dation , to nn Indian who said ho had a
brother sick In his tout. The prisoner said
ho had not been outraged In the business of
selling liquor to anybody.
McCarthy's personal nppoaranco weighed
heavily against him. Ho had an Ill-shaped
head and n face resembling that ot the
giasticutlcusos which make the new
city hall look hideous. At some
time In hU career somouody
had driven n very heavy load" across the
brldgo of bis nose nnd the underpinning had
evidently collapsed. As n consequence of
this the point of his nasal nppondago stood
out from his face lilto n knot on it black
thorn stick , giving his face n ptigglsh expres
sion.
Judge Dundy asked the prisoner several
questions about his guilt and about the
board ho bad been getting In the county Jail.
Ho thou Instructed tbo jury to simply sign
the verdict of guilty. The judge then said !
" 1 shall remand j on to the custody of the
marshal for ono week and line youI and
cost of prosecution. . If you over commit
such tin offense airnih I will give It to vou In
n wav that will make you fool It. Don't for
got that now. I won't forgot you. 1 will al
ways remember that face , " and nobody
doubted it.

A story is told and it is a true story that over seventy
In o '
per cent. oMtll the baking powders sold contain either alum
OJjJi
or ammonia , and many of these powders contain both. The
ill effects upon the system of food raised by alum or ammo
nia powders are the more dangerous because of their insidious
character. It would be less dangerous for the people were it
fatal at once , for then such food would be avoided , but their
baneful action because imperceptible at first and slow in its
Advances , is no less certain.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is declared by all
authorities as free from alum , ammonia or any other adul
terant. Its purity has never been questioned , and while it
does finer and better work , it costs no more at retail than
many of the adulterated powders ,
ARTIFICIAL ICE
The manufacture of ice by means of chemicals is likely
to be inaugurated in this city if the weather docs not change
soon. Those ice companies who have a large supply on hand
are feeling all right , but do you know how it is with firms who
have an immense
immenseSTOCK
of winter clothing on hand ? We arc among that number , and
as we think it wise to adapt ourselves to circumstances , we are
going to take the bear side of the market and unload as fast
as the goods can be taken out of the house. Those superb
Suits and Overcoats that were manufactured by our
COMPANY
in such large quantities for the big trade , which the prosperous
condition of the state warranted us in expecting- , are to be of
fered at prices much less than the same class of goods have
ever been sold for
IN OMAHA :
To state that asuit of clothes can be had for a certain
isum does not convey a correct idea to the reader as to whether it
s a bargain or not. There are splits of clothes offered by some
dealers for $10 that are said to be worth $15. We offer a suit
for $10 that is worth $10.
Guaranteed to be worth that or money refunded.
So the only way to form an opinion of our goods is to
inspect the garments.
Vou know how the weather has been. You know the
extent of our stock ( three double floors full ) . You know that
we have sense enough to know that unless we sell now wo
must carry the goods over.
Take advantage this week.
