Hazelton , both of the gentlemen being greeted with hearty applause. Chairman Shugart ot the committees on resolutions then ( read the report of iho com mittee , consisting ot a resolution which bad been adopted , endorsing the Gatch high license local option bill now before the legis lature , and urging the representatives of tbis county to use alii honorable moans to secure How Tostovln Lost. After the convention hai adjourned yes terday afternoon many Inquiries were made as to wha ) ; bad caused the defeat of City Surveyor Tostovln , who has bean regarded all along as tbo most promising candidate for the ofllco of city surveyor that the republi cans could put up. A letter bearing the sig nature of J. J. Brown which has boon in the possession of Mr. Tostovln for the past few days is said to botho cause of bis defeat , and thereby hangs n talc. Several ( lavs ago , so says ono of the loaders in the repub lican ranks , Mr. Brown , who is ono of the best known democrats In the city , chanced to mention in the course of a conversation with Tostevln , that Cook , who afterwards turned out to bo Tostovin's successful rival , bad been to him some time prior to the ( lorn- ocratio convention and asked him to use his Influence in getting him the nomination for city surveyor on the democratic ticket. On Tostovin's request ho put this statement In writing , ho signed nls name to it nnd delivered It to Tostevln. Tostovin conceived the Idea that by making his opponent a traitor to the republican cause ho would insure his own nomination. Instead of this being the case , bowovor , it turned out directly the opposite , for when the republican leaders wont to Brown to see if the re port was true , ho commenced to crawlish , and finally admitted that ho could not say that Cook bad over asked his assist ance in celling the democratic ! nomination. The letter Is considered simply a part of a scheme In which Brown and other prominent democrats were engaged for tbo purpose of destroying Tostovin's popularity In his own party , as tboy considered him the most dan gerous opponent their nomlnco for the ofllco could havo. To this letter and the fact that Tostovln tried to ueo it iu knocking out Cook's chances for the nomination are ascribed Tostovin's dofoat. MONEV AND MOKAI.S , Henry AVnttcrson , tins "Star-Kyeil Goddess , " Lectures at tlio Ojiern House. Henry Wattorson , the famous editor of the Loulsvillo Courier-Journal , appeared at Dohany's opera house in Council 'Bluffs last evening in bis lecture on the sub ject , "Money and Morals. " While In the city ho Is the guest of Mayor Maorao , and that gentleman it was who introduced him to the largo nudlonco that gathered to hoar him. The speaker held the closest attention of the audicncn from tbo very first word ho utterod. His manner was that of the typical southern gentleman , full of ease and grace , while his lecture was a marvel of beauty and brilliancy , besides being replete with vigor ous thoughts , "Is there anything lying across our path way as n nation , " said ho , "which Is likely to obstruct our march of triumph ? I answer , 'yes , Canada and Mexico.1 Those two words are tbu geographical expressions of a thought that brings up the picture ol the embezzler and the absconding cashier of the savings bank. I'm sure there U no ono of us hero wbo Is old enough to have invaded the apple orchard or robbed a melon patch who has not thought how pleasant it would bo to have plenty of money. Who of us has not thought of the good bo would do with It if he had Hi How tbo spendthrift poudors over the thought how promptly ho would pay his debts if ho only had iho money to do it with. But the millionaire , encumbered with the thouguts of bis possessions , withes , how fervently , . that money was only a visionary thing. Th'o man wbo has $100,000 Income u year and f 150,000 worth of wants Isworso off than the in an who hasn't a cent to his name and wants bis dinner. There are many men In the east wbo manage ) to eke out a miserable living on $ . " > 0- , 000 a year , and wonder bow In creation any body can live on t.25,000. And yet , J think If 1 were to go out with a search warrant to night I could nnd quite a number of men in vour city who manage to get along on half thatium. "Tho world has boon much misled by its most widely accepted maxims , \\o have been told time and time again tuatTorsovor- anco conquers all things , ' and 'Labor con quers all things , * aud 'Lovo conquers all things. ' But perseverance may be mis directed and fall short of its purpose ; labor may bo misapplied and lovooften falls a vic tim to Its own excesses.

Falling in tnat ono thing they felt as though life itself had been a failure. "But the successful man Is the man who has learned to bo contented. The happy man Is ho who thinks that his old wife Is the best wile in the world , who wouldn't trade his red-headed , frccklo-fncod kids for any In the land. Most ot ut are destined to bo how * ors of wood and drawers of water , and wo must bo satisfied If tbero Is plenty of wood In the bin and plenty of water In the well , "I have a pity which It Is hard to express for the men who find Canada or Mexico so agreeable. I don't think that because a man wakes up some day and llnds that his ac counts are short that ho Is necessarily a scoundrel.

Tbo negro problem in the south was touched upon , delicately , but in a man ner that a few sentences are sufllciont to pre sent It to thaoyos in .a light that revealed all of its weight and danger. There was a time when hn felt competent to advise nnd sug gest , a time when it seemed to bo of easy solution , but that time had passed. The bast minds were confused nnd the stoutest hearts appalled , and ho had been compelled to como back to tbo period when ho had no solution to advocate nor suggestions to offer. The solution of the problem was In the hands of tbo Supreme Bomg , and to His bonoQ- concu and wisdom bo bowed. Ho thought If he wcro called upon to preach n sermon to the Now Euglanders , ho would tell them that their magnificent enter prise and genius that had touched their rock- ribbed hills and made them blossom as the rose , was not the only genius ot the same kind. He would invite them to the southland , where eternal summer broods and lot tnem feel the softonmir Influence and tbo brother hood that dates back to tbo Mayflower. If he preached to tbo pcoplo of tbo south ho would tell them to drop f-o pnantasv of a chimerical aristocracy , which , If it over did exist , exists no longer , and send some of their sons to tbo north to gat into closer har mony with the great heart that was sending pulsations not only throughout the uatto but the world. All'tho way through bis lecture the speaker was interrupted by applause , and his views , expressed in the warmth of lan guage that comes natural to the southerner , found an nnsworlng echo in ovcry heart. At half hast < J o'clock the speaker closed his discourse , although the audience would have boon glad to stay and listen to him for au- othorhour. The lecture was given under the nuspicos of tbo Pottawattamio democratic association , which deserves great credit for the ur.uor- tatdiiR. It was a success no less from a financial standpoint than as an entertain ment and quite a sum was realized , which will bo used in fitting up a democratic head quarters Iu the James block on Main street.

"A ' " answered gold inifio'in.JMoutann , Hayes. "I'm the Martin jyou'ro looking for , " said Patrick. Then Hayes explained , most enter tainingly , that there was n gold mine in Montana that hadn't been developed. But he was an old-time prospector and ho had discovered that it contained mil lions of dollars' worth of gold. Patrick Martin was deeply interested , and when the stranger explained that all that was needed was a little- capital to buy machinery ho said he thought it might bo fixed. Hayes , however , would not permit Martin to take any stops toward raising money until ho had shown him some gold bricks , which , ho said , had boon taken from the mine. Thodo , ho said , were in Trenton. Martin accompanied Hayes to Trenton. At the Windsor Hotel there Martin was introduced to a man who said ho was connected with the United States assay ofllco in this city. Hayes exhibited some metal blocks. "They're the finest I over saw , " said the supposed assayor. The two men talked to Martin about the vast possibilities of the mine , and Martin became enthusiastic. Hayes said ho would have to have the money right away. "But I didn't bring any money with mo , " said Martin. "That's all right , " snid Hnyes. "You can got it. If you don't I'll have to go right away. " Visions of enormous wealth appear to have dazzled Martin. IIo wont to u wealthy friend in Trenton , whoso name is said to bo Lawrence Fnrroll , and bor rowed $5,000. Ho hurried hick , fearing that Hayes might change his mind. Ho handed tbo money to Hayes. Hayes said ho was going directly to Montana , nnd would lot Martin hear from him regard ing the mino. Martin returned to Bordontown over joyed at the prospect. Ho believed that no had consummated a schema which would make him a millionaire. Ho received n letter from Hayes yes terday. IIo road it nnd wont to bod. It was postmarked Now York. There wasn't a word In it about the Montana mino. It was very brief. It contained the bare statement that Martin would never BCO Hayes or the $5,000 again. A ntory of on KiiK"K"iu < 'iit King.

JUST LIKE TODAY. HUMTliiirlinv AVonl Arranged u " .Scoop" mill ( lot Left. Ill the course of his speech at the re cent Lincoln dinner given by the Un conditional club of Albany , N. Y. , Wil liam H , McKlroy told the following : "Thoro is a story In which Mr. Lin coln figures which connects him , al though In rather a droll way , with Albany , It wa- < told mo by that distin- cuishod republican , honored and loved by nil. Frederick W. Sowurd , the son ot Mr. Lincoln's great secretary of state. In 18UO , Thurlow Weed , then the editor of 'Tho Albany Journal' this is the story journeyed to tiio nuilonnl repub lican convention at Chicago for the our- pose of securing the nomination of Wil liam II. Sownrd for the presidency. George Dawson , Mr. Wood's associate in the niinngoin' ! > ntof 'The Journal , ' ac companied him , so the paper was loft In charge of 'Fred' Howard , as ho was then called. It was tv foregone conclu sion to Mr. Weed that Mr. SownrJ would bo nominated. Accordingly , taking time by the forelock , before leaving for Chicago ho loaded Iho lofts of 'The Journal' building with fireworks , which wcro to bo touched olT on the joyful evening of the memorable day of the nomination. The morning when the convention was to begin balloting Mr. Weed telegraphed Fred from Chicago to hold back the last edition of the paper until ho got news of his father's nomination. The leader commending the nomination was in type ; the rockets and roman candles were ready to flood the sky with many-tinted glory ; the ticket Tor President , William II. Seward of Now York' was also in typo ; nnd Fred sat serenely in 'The Journal' sanctum waiting for the formal but to him rather unnecessary announcement that the favorite had beaten the field. "That was the situation when , after the third ballot at Chicago , a telegram was handed Fred announcing that the republican national convention had nominated Abraham Lincoln of Illinois. Wo may bo sure that for n few minutes Fred was a prey to his emotions. IIo must have felt as if ho had been interviewed by a cyclone with a dynamite attachment. But the instinct of the trained journalist soon reasserted itself nnd ho got to work. There was a Sownrd leader to bo killed and n Lincoln leader to be pronarcd. But before sit ting down to write , ho scratched off 'For President , Abraham Lincoln of Illinois , ' nnd told a messenger to take it to the composing room and explain to the fore man that that was the ticket which waste to go to the masthead. "Presently an excited voice icamo down the tube connecting the sanctum and the composing room. It was the voice of the paralyzed foreman , him self an admirer of William II. Soward. Ordinarily an amiable foreman , but when his temper was rallied , moro em phatic than genteel in the use of the which ho 'rendered * in language , nerv ous , falsetto tones. " 'Hallo , Mr. Seward ! ' the foreman screamed down the tubo. " 'Well , what is it ? ' said Mr. Soward. "With aa much indignation as the tube would hold , the foreman inquired : 'Say , oMr. Seward , what d d name is this that you want mo to have set up for ? ' " president _ _ A ShrtMVd A photographer on the west side , In a district which it is unnecessary to par ticularize , is building a costly six-story building which may yet bo pointed at as a monument to its owner's power of observation and his faculty for turning it to account , says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Incidentally the handsome structure will boar testimony to the prevailing vanity of woman. The photographer Is wealthy. How ho made his fortune is worth tolling : Three yoard ago the artist noticed that when ho got a lady slttor with a pair of small ana elegant foot she gen erally liked to place herself so that her fairy-like supports were just visible ; while the lady with the largo , mis shapen hoofs and bulky hoof-cases If opt her feet out of sight ovcry timo. From this ho inferred that the latter person would much prefer to have two small and lovable trotters also , and if she had them she would want to display them ; and then ho conceived the inspir ation of keeping foot on hand , and sup plying them to customers who needed hem. IIo has a dozen pairs of them small wooden toot with adorable boots on bom and attached to each of them is about eight inches of attractive log , clothed in neat stockings , and with a hook about half wny up. The lady with the generous extremities is planted in a chair with her massive limbs and copi ous boolH hidden as far Duck as they can go without dislocating her uncos , and then tlio artificial legs are carefully hooked on to the inner horn of her dress. Consequently she looks llko a person reclining in an easy attitude , with her beautiful feet exposed by accident , and , if she can stand the strain which is something awful the resulting photo is a beautiful thing to look at. If slio can't stand the strain her real feet como forward just in time to keep the unnat ural attltudo from wrenching her joints utnindor , and then she appears in the negative as a quadruped , Sometimes her limbs have to bo tied back with ropes to keep her steady , and her smile is the happy smile of one who sits on a hot stovo.
