The republicans of Council muffs have
completed the work of naming the llckel th.U
Is cajifldcntly predicted eli nil sides , even In
the hcarl of the democratic rump , as the
one most likely to win a majority of votes
at the nppro.ichlliR city election on the first
Mondaj In March.
The delegate city convention met In the
south ccurt room of the county court bouse
Illbl evening and named n candidate for al-
dcrmnn-nl-large and two members of the
school board. The convention was largely
attended and like alt republican conventions
was a most orderly gathering. Bx-Mayor
Cleaver wi < z called to tlio chair , and William
Ulcod was made secretary. There wns no
time wasted In tpceo.l > making , Dr. Cleavoi
only taking timeto thank Die cnnvcntlon
for the honor II conferred upon him and ic-
hiliidlng the delegate ; ; that they had the
pleasant duty before them of selecting the
men who were to nil the olllccs for the next
Iwo years. He did not f'-el that it was neces
sary , he said , to caution them to chosp cnly
tlio best men. Republican conventions al-
wn > H. or meat always , do liiat. He con
cluded by asking the pleasure of the con
vention. The cii'drntUls of tin1 delegates
were found to bo all right , and each delega
tion from tin ) various precincts represented
by the proper number of delegates.
HHSOLt'TIONS NOT NEEDED.
The question of the adoption of resolutions ,
was discussed a lllllc and then passed. The
convention decided that the republican party
could afford to go In-fore the people of Coun
cil Illuffs In nil election campaign with no
other platform than Its achievements. Good
deeds , well done , spoke with greater potency
limn vapid nuitlerlngs of discontent nnd Im
possible'promises. This being decided upon ,
il was unnecessary to waste lime In appolnt-
ing a commute on resolutions to go out.
light their cigars nnd return with a typewrit
ten declaration of principles that nobody
could comprehend and no one would ever
try to enforce. The convention was consequently
quently enabled to get down to the work
before It at once.
Hell call on the Informal ballot for the
nomination of alderniun-at-Iarge brought out
.1 largo number of candidates. Xo names
were presented to the convention nnd the
delegates voted for Hie men they thought
best lilted fc- ; the petition. The result of
the ballot showed thai 13. 13. Sayles .had re
ceived 12 votes , George W. Llpe3 , C. Straub
5 , W. J. Davenport , Martin P. Smith C ,
and F. H. Keys 1.
licforo tlie first formal ballot was taken
Keys mid Slraub wltthdrew. The result \\as :
Sayles 22 , Lipe 27 , Davenport C nnd Smith 3.
Neither of the leading candidates had
enough votss to nominate and the second
formal ballot was -ordered. The count
showed that Sayles had received 26. Llpe 29
and ? > mlth 3. There was still no choice and
the third ballot wc.i taken. It resulted In
n He , 2 ! ) to 2tl for Upo and Sayles.
There was beginning to be considerable
Interest manifested by this time and the
friends of both candidates were working
Inrd. The two candidates live-In opposite
I ends qf the clly , nnd nt the beginning of
the balloltlng Hie dclegales from each lo-
callly- ranged themselves on geographical
lines. At the second nnd Ihlnl ballots the-
j i mixed up and westcnders were vollng for
Llpo nnd vice versa , but on the fourth bal
lot the Sixth warders voted eolldly for tlielr
wail end man Sayles giving him Hie nomi
nation , the vote standing 30 for Sayles and
2S for 1,1 pe.
Immediately after the vote was announced
Mr. Line arose from bis place In Ihe Firs :
ward delegation and moved to make the
nomlnatlo : ) of Mr. . ? ayles unanimous. The
motion carried with cheers that were Joined
in by all of the republicans In the room.
Mr.Siiylcs WES called for and hamUomaly
acknowledged the honor that had been con
ferred upon him , and pledged himself to uae
bis best eirons and all of his opportunities
to advance the welfare of nil tha citizens.
His modes't speech bad n pleasnnl effect nnd
he was warmly cheered.
UOAIID OF I3DUCATION.
The next work of the convention wna the
rtelecllon of Iwo members of Iho Board of
Education. A motion was carried making
Iho drat ballot a formal one and directing
that Iho nominations be mndo In the same
manner as the choice of alderman was ef
fected. Tlio nrst ballot showed tlio following
candidates nnd their relative strength : Dr.
M. 11. Snyder , 16 ; Dr. A. P. Hnnchel , 12 ;
Jacob Sims , S ; W. S. Mayne , 7 ; F. II. Hill ,
.1 ; C. II. Hannnn , 1 ; W. J. Davenport , 1 ;
Chris Strnub , 4 ; J. J. Hcas , 1 ; I. M. Trcynor ,
1. Thu next ballol gave Snyder 23 ; Ilanshet.
13 ; Sims , 10 ; Mnyne , 3 ; Stnub , 4 , and Hctn.2.
There wca no choice and the third ballot wzn
ordered. On thlp ballot Dr. Snyder received
33 , a majority of all , and was declared the
nominee.
Only one ballot was necessary to name
the second member of the board. Sims ,
HonchPlt , Straub nnd Mayne were voted for ,
but when the votes were counted It was
found that Sims had received fifty-two. Ile-
fore the result was announced the delega
tions that bad voted for the other candi
dates changed their votes ami went solidly
for Sims , giving him every vote In the con-
vcnllon.
Dr. Trcynor called up a matter that Iho
delegates from the Third ward had been
Instructed to present lo the convention. It
was in the form of a resolution which de
clared :
Itesolvpd , Thnt the chairman of the city
central committee lie solecicil by tlie chair
men of the several ward preclnotn. at n
meeting to bo culled for that purpoi-o , Im-
medlntcly nftcr tlio annual Mnroh elections.
There was some disposition to criticise
the resolution for Ihorfaion that It took
the selection of the city central committeeman -
man from the convention und gave 11 to a
few men. Advocates of Iho measure pointed
out the fact thai II vvad bad policy to
"trado horsiH In the middle of a stream , "
and that It was bad to displace the commit-
leeman who had worked up the campaign
for Iho previous year , for ho was always thu
1110.11 competent to manage It to the end and
would bo succoskful where H .now man would
be handicapped by hla unfumlliarily with the
work and the slluatlon , The convention taw
the forrp of tlio argument , and adopted the
resolution.
The men nominated last night are par
ticularly well ijimlllk'cl for the positions to
which they aspire. Mr. Suylcs has been a
resident of the city for nearly n quarter of
II century. For many years ho has been em
ployed at the transfer as ticket agent. He Is
clean , bright and vigorous. Ho made no
effort to get the nomination , nnd never
thought of being a candidate until yesterday
afternoon , when some of the party managers
BukiMl permission to use Ills name. Ho will
make a good , hard working alderman.
Dr. Snyder is ono of the present members
of tilt ) Hoard of Kducutlon and has already
made his record as an Intelligent guardian
of the public schools. His confrere , Mr.
Sims , Is ono of the bent known lawyers in Iho
clly.

Two of Contractor Wlckham's teams broke
through the Ice on the Missouri river yes
lerday and were lost , and the men driving
them had a narrow escape from being
drowned.
The accident happcne-1 about the middle
of the afternoon , and was due lo the care
lessness of the men and the disregard of Ihe
orders of Mr. wickham. Since the river has
been frozen over Contractor Wickham has
been using the Ice bridge for hla leains en
gaged In hauling Die slag from tlio smelting
works for use on the Lower Broadway pav
ing. The unloaded wagons have been cross
ing on the Ice and using the motor bridge
when laden with the heavy material. Con
tractor Wlckliam took every precaullon lo
Insure Ihe safety of the men and ( cams , nnd
went to Iho expense of constructing a piling
bridge over a porlion of Ihe channel. The
learns liavo parsed over this bridge and the
Ice more than 1,000 times. At the first of
Iho week thtf Ice began to show evidences of
weakness and Wickham Issued an order for
no more learns to croas. The last loam
crossed on Tuesday afternoon. Yesterday
noon an order was Issued for the removal
of the temporary bridge from Iho channel
nnd the removal of Ihe planks from the surface -
face of the Ice. Wlchhnm gave Instrucllons
as to how the work should be done and wenl
lo Iho river after dinner and' personally
slarted Iho work. Ho had provided Iho men
with 200 feel of rope , nnd lold them lo tic
thu planks together and pull them from the
Ice with the rope , beginning from Iho end of
Iho bridge nenresl the middle. Ho crossed
over on the Ice himself and continued on
down lo Iho motor bridge to make his sctlle-
mcnt with the galckeepcr for Iho day.
When ho reached trio toll house his ntten-
llon was called lo Iho presence of sonic of
his men on Iho Ice with their tennis. Ho
slnrtcd Immediately to order them off , pressIng -
Ing a horse Into service. The men bad
driven the wagons on Iho Ice with the In
tention oT loading up the lumber. Ilefore
ho got within hailing distance on the Ne
braska bank be saw one of his finest . and
most prized teams disappear , wagon and
all. A second later the oilier went down.
Uoth drivers Jumped from their wagons , nnd
after n hard struggle reached the flrfti Ice.
The men had taken the rope from Hie
wagons nnd thrown It on Ihe Umbers. One
of Iho wagons was lodged against the Ice
and the horses were making a desperate
struggle to get out. The men mnde a noose
on the end of the rope and succeeded In
throwing It over the head of one of the
struggling animals. A heroic effort was
made to pull them both out. but one horse
gave up the light for life and sank. The
bead of the other horse was being hold
above Ihe water by the noose around his
neck , but the weight of his mnlo nnd Ihe
heavy wagon was too great for Iho men al
the other end of the rope to overcome. When
Wickham reached the scene he saw the
poor animal wns only being torlured by the
strangling noose and ordered the rope to be
cut. The swift current Instantly swept the
outfit from sight. The first team had dis
appeared wltboul leaving a bubble.
Thin team had been driven for four years
by Arthur Cberrclt , whose carelessness
caused tlielr death. It was one of the
largest and finest teams belonging to tin-
contractor , nnd both ho and the driver felt
very badly over the loss. The other tcnm
was owned by Martin Martinson , who has
been In Wlckham's employ for some time.
He Is a poor man , unable to stand the loss ,

There wca a scent of blood early in Ihe
day when Judge Candler , who Is trying the
case , announced that , as colonel of tlio Fifth
Georgia regiment , he would see that the
prisoner was protected. The trend of the
evidence was that Flanagan was a victim of
paranoia. Just as the prisoner was getting
on the train with his guard to return lo
Atlanta a mob of SOO men 'headed by John
Stack made a riwh for him. The train pullpd

The hearing of the casa brought by Mary
McGuire of Denver to recover $150 loaned to
Peter Lcnagh , city garbage masler , occupied
a portion of the time of Just'lco\frte\v | yes
terday. MUs McOutre at present resides In
Denver , but was represented by attorneys ,
who Introduced In evidence a deposition of
the plaintiff and her sister. , , , .
The deposition goes cu to assert that Miss
McGulre lived In Omaha for five years , she
leaving here In July , 1396. She first met
Lcnagh In Hoslyn , N. Y. , seven years ago
and at ono time was engaged tj be married
lo him. Upon Iwo occasions she loaned him
money , once paying Into his hand $115 In
Omaha In February , 1S93. In April of the
eamo year she mailed to Lcnagh , who was
then at Uoslyn , N. Y. , $35.
Miss McGuIre further asserts that Lcnagh
has never paid back the amount loaned or
any portion of It. In 1S95 she made a de
mand for the money through Hev. Mr. Me-
Dovllt , and Letiagh promised Iho priest that
ho would pay the amount. Again In June ,
1S90 , she made a demand and was promised
a settlement August 1 , but It was never
made. The plaintiff goca on to relate bow
Eho learned of Lcnagh's marriage to another
woman shortly after she mailed him the $35.
In a deposition Mrs. Desslo Bngle , n sis
ter , substantiates the statements mailo by
Iho plaintiff , and ntscrts lhal she had per
sonal knowledge as lo Ihc mailing ot the last
sum borrowed.
When placed upon the witness stand Peter
Lcnagh adnvltlcd Ihat he had been engaged
to bo married to Miss Mcdulre. Then ho
told thu court that at different times the
woman had forced him lo lake small sums of
money , some of which ho Insisted upon giv
ing back.
Upon cross-cxatnlnallon Lenagh admitted
borrowing tlio money , but asserted that the
claim had boon outlawed by Iho statute of
limitations.

i\uiuile lii Cuttle Feeding.
M. A. Danforlh , a prominent merchant and
cattle feeder of Ulencoe , la. , was a visitor
at the stock yards yesterday , and In a con
versation asserted that the catlle feeder was
taking less risk as well as Investing less
money In buying high-priced feeders with
corn cheap than In buying cheap feeders with
corn dear. In substantiating lib assertion
Mr. Danforth lakes an example as follows :
Ono feeder , 1,000 pounds at $1.25 , costs $42.50.
This Etccr is fed 100 bushels of corn , at 0
cents a bushel , cost $9 , making a total of
$31.50. On the other hand a etecr weighing
1.000 pounds al $3.25 would cost $32.60. Feed
this steer 100 bushels of corn at 30 cents per
bUEhel and the cost o' the feed Is $30 , making
a tcval Investment ot $02.50. Further , It Is
asserted thai Ihe outlay , labor tiiul trans
portation being Iho same In both casen , the
getting ready for market Is In favor of Uio
high priced feeder with chtf.-ip corn , and It
marketed at the same pride 'will net the
farmer the most money , although not the
highest price per bushel for his corn. Con
tinuing. Mr. Uanforth asserted thai a farmer
could afford to haul 30-cont torn to market ,
while he cannot do so at present prices. If
bl.i time and labor are worth anything ,
'through the medium of feeding-live slock the
farmer can obtain a satisfdctory price for
hln corn , even though feeders arc high , as
they usually are at this market. ' '

which had [ become badly swpleh. 'He ' has
'
been out of 'work since that .time and was
hungry. . Ho'aald thai be went to Cudaby's
to see If ho could not find something to do
and while there his hunger ; overcame bis
better judgment and he took a piece of
sausage to cat. Wltzel admitted thai he
knew it was wrong , but Ins.lsted that he
could not see so much food lying around
loose when be was hungry , without taking
seme. The judge sentenced the prisoner to
three days In the city jail and then sus
pended sentence , owing to the previous good
record borne by Wltzel. '

11111 IN I'lixNOil ,
DiS M01N13S , Feb. 18. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The house and scnale ways and
me.ins committees held a joint meeting this
evening to consider the basis of valuation
of property under the now revenue law. The
scnnto commltlee had decided on 33 % per
cent and Ihe house on 100 per cenl. The
present valuation Is about 20 per cent of
real values. It was expected the mecl-
Ing would onlo. serve to accen
tuate the differences between the
two committees , but the event proved the
contrary. The senate comniltleemcn pro-
ecnlcd Ihelr bill nnd explained Us salient
points. They urged tbnt n valuation ot 100
per cent would make It 'Impossible to find
moneys and credits , which oven now nlmosl
escape taxation , while under the 33 % per
cent plan they would be llsled and Inxed.
The senalo had concluded lhal the 100 per
cent plan would Increase the already In-
oqullablo 'burden ' borne by real 0.1-
Inle. It was also shown that an
Increase to 100 per cent would effect
a resolution which would completely con
fuse mailers of taxation , and probably re
sult In Increasing rather lhaii reducing prcs-
cnl Inequalllles. Senators Hcrry , I'usey. Cat-
roll , Funk , Waterman , Perrln and others pre
sented the arguments for the 33 % per conl
basis. The scnalors presented their
rltdlng scale scheme of preventing an
Increase of taxes under the In
creased assessment. It was a pro
vision that there must bo a reduction
In levies , under the new law. In Iho sime
proportion that Iho valuations are Increased.
This would make It Imposrlblo for reckless
bcrds of supervisors or city councils to In
crease taxes or debts simply becauw the rnls-
Ing of the valuation should ralso the limit of
debt , under Ihe constitutional limitation of
such debts , lo 5 per cent of nss-essed valua
tion. The section Is as folloua :
Tlio maximum levies permitted by law for
county and local municipalities shall bo
reduced In tlio panic proportion for llio
your 1SHS nnd subsequent years as tlie as
sessed vnltiallon for said year und sub
sequent years shall In the county , township ,
city , town or district , exceed the average
lu-BesHinc-nl for the years 1S9G mid 1S07. The
maximum porc-entngo of bonded Indebted
ness allowed by law to countloH or other
political or municipal corporations shall
be reduced In like proportion. It shall bo
unlawful for any olllcers or boards charged
with the duty of levying taxc or Issuing
bonds In nny county , township , city , town
or district , to levy a higher rate of tax for
any one year than tlie maximum rate pro
vided for as above , or to Issue bonds In
excess of tlio amount heroin allowed. The
county auditor shall prepare sin abstract of
.such average valuations for the- county
and eacb township , town , city or district In
his county for Hie year 1S ! > S nnd subsequent
years , for the use of the Hoard of Super
visors , and said board shall , In making the
levies for coiinly purposes or those certllktl
to It by the several local precincts , care
fully oxamlnc and reduce any such levies or
estimates of Ihe required funds In such an
amount as may bo necessary to prevent n
greater rate of levy than the maximum
rate herein provided for. If boundaries
shrall bo changed after the assessment In
tlio year 1M7 , and before tlie assessment In
the year 1S9S , llien the county auditor shall
make up said valuation from tlio tieparntc
real estales which has been so changed In
Its boundaries and from tlio personal prop
erty therein , so far as may be practicable.
At the conclusion of the discussion Repre
sentative Frinl : moved that 33 % per cent bo
adopted as tlio basis of assessment , and it
carried wlthoul dissent.
No vote wcs taken : on Iho quesllon of Ihe
sliding scale , and It was , left for discussion
at another meeting. A canvass of house
members proved that they are nearly all
ready to vote for 11 , and It Is practically
certain to bo adopted. The house will In
sist on the senate adopting Its plan for com
pelling owners of moneys and credits to .list
them for taxation under oath , and the bill
Is practically certain to bo reported with
these provisions as Its essential points.

Last evening the police were notified by
telephone- from Lincoln thai "Kid" Sly , an
Omaha sneak thief and all-around crook ,
had been arrested there. The Lincoln po
lice by accident ran Into H nest of the young
thieves , who bad fornip. . ! for themselves a
rendezvous In n tough quarter of the city.
There were supposed to be five In the gang at
the lime the police maite the descent upon
the "fence , ' but all got nwny with the ex
ception of "Kid" Sly and another youth ,
who asserts ho was.1 merely a vl.Mtor.
In Iho house were found seven pairs of new
shoes , a half dozen eorsels , a large quantity
ot ribbon and numerous other small articles.
From descriptions of stolen property In the
possewlon of the Omaha police -It was dis
covered that the booty was probably taken
from freight cars ot the Ilurllngton company
nt Crcston , la. Upon the night of February
11 thieves broke Into some box cars which
were sidetracked nt'Crouton ' and carried away
properly valued at about $100. No trace
of the thieves or the stolen goods was found
by the Iowa authorities ami It was evident
that the Job had been done by out ot town
men. Tim goods recovered nro but a small
portion of those taken. The balance U sup
posed lo have been sold by the thieves.
Captain Haze Is of opinion that Sly
and bis gang nrc ( be men who went Inlo Iho

Ihey took several counterfeit coins
which had been taken In by Ihe firm and
were slorcd In Ihc safe.
The description of one of the men given by
the firm tnllles exaclly with Ihat of Sly ,
who Is well known to the Oninhn police.
The other two were strangers. Sly tins been
nrrosted a number of times In this city on
charges ranging from petty larceny to burg
lary. The last time was but n few months
ago. when ho was locked up for creating
