BENNETT CO. A WnmlPilnl King. Mr. B. W. Schneider , the well known traveling salesman formally with Heobe- Runyan Furniture Co. , is becoming ex tensively known , particularly ; on ac count of the most remarkable nnd mys terious ring that ho is .selling for the cure of rhoumati&m. There Is no doubt that the ring cures rheumatism , as some of the most prom inent and host known men in Omaha who are wearing thr-m have written vol untary letters to Mr. Schneider , in which * they speak very highly of the ring. The rings are of n lead color , nnd are to bo worn on the finger continuously. Mr. S. told a Bni : reporter that-tho rings wore- not magnetized or charged with electricity in tiny way , as many people ple supposed. Mr. S. has quit the read nnd lilted up an olllco in the New York Life building , where he is now devoting his entire attention to the ring business. Those who suffer from rheumatism should read his add on page ten oi this issue , where the "why" and ' whereof" is explained. The cost ol this simple cure is so umull that every sufferer should give it a test. They sell at $2.00 , are made in Germany and called the Kimbull anti-rheumatic ring. P. N.

Grunt l'o t I'ornmtljr Colrbrnto Their Itrtnrn to TliL-lr Old Oimrtors. The entertainment given last Tuesday evening by U. S. ( taint post of this city was considered by all those who attended us n very creditable affair , the occasion being the rcoticnhiB of the quarters occupied by the post prior to the Continental lire , The hall was brilliantly lighted nnd fairly shone in its fresh coat of paint and varnish. Us walls were covered with now paper and hung with oil paintings , Its windows hidden by lace , and its rostrum richly carpeted and decorated with Hags and draperies. Tlio department commander of the Giand Army of the Itcpubllc In Ncnniska slid there was nothing in the state equal to it and his hearers heartily agreed with him. Dr. K. M. Rtono presided. Before him was a largo audience of bright and happy faces nnd seated about him were Mrs Augusta Henderson , Hov. .1. T. Duryea , Past Coin- inandcr-ln-Chief Gehcral Vo.ircy , Depart ment Commander Aloiuo Church , Senior Vice CommnnderCliurchHowe , Ex-Governor Alvin Saunders , John IJ. Henderson , com mander of Ouster post , Dr. S. 1C. Spaldinj ; , General John K , Urooko and Mrs. Dr. Chris- tic , president of Grant corps. Dr. Stone was in his clement and led on" with a tiappy introductory speech. Jules Luinbard , who had stirred ma.iya patriotic heart in war times , opened the proceedings by sinping "Rally 'Hound the Fin jr. " and was followed in * n short address by Airs. Augusta Henderson of the Women's Uclief corps , who told of the ori ; < iniinilon and progress of the body which she repre sented. General Vca/ey , who had unex pectedly arrived in the city , addressed th \ old soldiers in a complimentary manner aim offered as a benediction "God IJlcss the Old Solnicr and Preserve Him Forever. " Miss Clara Clarkson rendered in sweetest tones the sonpr , "Good Night , " and Alon/.o Church , grand commander of the Grand Army of the Kepablir in Nebraska , spoke of the loyalty of the old soldiers to the stars and stripes. They went to war because of the love they bore for their country , and if any one now sought to trar "Old Glory" down , they would be just as eager to fly to the rescue as in l.Vil. Jules L.umb.ird sang with telling effect , "I Tear No Foe , " and upon being recalled rendered the humorous "Sweet . " song , Peggy. Ex-Governor Saunders was introduced as the last surviving war governor. Ho said Nebraska had , in time of w.ir , done her full duty. Ho had been appointed governor a few days after Lincoln's inauguratioi. and had been immediately ordered to raise troops to go the front. Coining to Nebraska be issued bis proclamation. Thu identical document , now thirty-two years of age , the governor produced and re.ui , saying it was the first war document issued in Nebraska and called its lirst troops to suppress the re bellion. The soldiers , ho continued , ha-J a double task upon their hands , for they wcro beset not only by traitors in the south but also by savages on tlio north and west , and there was actually ii larger force in the In dian service at the beginning than was pitied against the rebels. The Indians took advantage of their troubles with the south , being incited to do so by Quantrell and other rebel leaders and sympathizers. A fortunate event occurred however. The Pawnees , then hostile , became Involved in war with the Sioux , and upon the governor's obtaining for them a cannon with which to defend them selves against the Sioux , they became peace able and so remained over utter. At the close of the war , and on the very day before ho was shot , President Lincoln paid a compli ment throuuh the governor to the people of Mnbr.iska for the loyalty and valuable as sistance they had rendered tlio cause of the union. 1. M. Trc.vnor , the well known tenor singer of Council Bluffs , gave an excellent rendition of the "Minstrel Boy" and Uov. Dr. J. T. Durycaaddresbcd tbogatheringin his usually forceful manner. It was well , ho said , to keep up the memories of the war. There was a time when the world was tired of war. Tlio French revolution riutio like an explo sion and Napoleon , seeing his opportunity , seized all Eurone. Later , his clutch was broken and the nations began to build up. Uo at one time thought this country should over bo free , from war. but now thought it was best that the war had occurred , The period of progress before it could never have been entered upon and carried to its present stage , had net the heat of war melted all hearts into one. The dead were not the enl } heroes. Many of those now living had seen the time when it would have been easier It die than to livo. ' "Lay garlands , " ho said "upon the graves of the departed , but put chaplets upon the brows of these who sur vivcd the struggle. " Ho then gave n vlvii picture of the riots in Now York City , telling of the awful mistake made by thu soldiers ii : llring upon the mob with blame cartridges and how upon ono day , Innocent ncgroci were hung upon the Inniii posts and how oi the next the colored troops , under Gnnera Butler , marched triumphantly down Broadway 1 -way and restored order. Bunker Hill am Gettysburg the doctor characterised as tin twin mountains of liberty. Hon. Church Howe closed the exercises b.\ \ portraying in an eloquent manner the dutle : of the old soldiers toward the Grand Arm ; of thu Republic ; and toward one another.

Ilnnnl of 1'iilitln Work * A Kiln Striken for Lower l'lK rr oil I'nxlil ) ; , Tlio asphalt paving contractors wcro given another black eye by the Hoard of Public Works yesterday afternoon , nnd for the second time this ye.ir the bids upon that material were rejected. The prices sub mitted by the asphnlt men in their bids are considered by the board as being excessive , nnd an advance of from -10 to f > 0 per cent over what Majors Fumy and Blrkhauscr believe they should be. When the question of a'warding the contracts for asphalt came up Major Blrkhauscr offered the following reso lution and moved its adoption , which motion Major Furay seconded : Whereas , The bide upon asphalt paving bear the htamp of collusion among the contractors ; and Whereas , The prices are too hljlh , ami If ac cepted by the board would entail n burden on our cltl/uns amounting to many thousand ; , of dollars ; and Whereas , This board 1msrepeatedly rejected bids when too high for cradlng , sewers and curbing ann tmvlng ; Me deem it our duty to reject all bids for asphnlt puvlng ivculvod Muy 12 , and readxorllsu for new bids , with thu exception of stieet tmpioveineiit district No. 218 , tthero tlio Standard company bid i'J.08 fore-lass A on n live-year guarantee and JU.D7 on class 11 on a live-year guarantee. Major Birkhauser said ho would never vote to award any contract at such prices , even if-it necessitated roadvcrtlsing all sum mer. Major Furay was of about the same opinion. Major Balcombo maintained n silence as deep as the grave , until it cnnirjto the vote on the adoption of the resolution , lie then said ho would not vote but would let Major Fumy nnd Major Birkhauscr , whom he called the asphnlt members , settle the question , and he did , the resolution being adopted. The bids of MacConncll & Miller-of Council Bluffs upon main sewers were rejected because of the linn's failure to quote prices in on Portland cement. The contract for the Dorcas street sewer was awarded to Frank L. Hooves & Co. , their bia being S-I.175SO on Portland cement and Si.hO-l on American cement. The Valley street sewer was awarded to McGuvock .t D.iiloy at Sli,0-J5.10 ) on Port land cement and $ lIMS.'JO ! on American. Hllcy , McDonald & Penfold were given the Twenty-seventh street sewer at $11.125 per lineal foot on Portland cement nnd f 10.25 on American. ,1. L. Black was the lowest bidder on the Burl stceet sewer and was given the con tract at jCiOTi.M ) ; also Chicago street nt $5,210.-l ( ) upon Portland cement and $ -lr > 8t5.40 on American. Consideration of the bids upon the Twenty- first street sower'ivns postponed , the mem bers failing to agree upon the lowest bidder. An adjournment was taken until Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Sydney Hoot , a lU-year-old boy , who lives with his mother near Clifton Hill , was at tacked by n couple of bulldogs belonging to n neighbor Friday and terribly bitten nnd lacerated. Ho would undoubtedly ha vo been killed had not two men who heard his screams arrived in. time to drive the doira away. The boy was almost torn to pieces. His right check was torn from the nose cleat bae' : to the ear. literally pulled away from the check bouo. Iln received several sealj wounds an inch long- , and his legs from the knco down were -raasd of lacerated anil blcoulng flesh. Ho.wts also bitten on the arms , many of the wounds reaching clear tc the bone. Ur. McClannahan was called nnd the wounds wcro drcsicd , but the boy was vcri weak from loss of blood and cxcitoincnt. It Is yet n matter of doubt ua to whether lie will recover.
