Kinlomeil.
The first largo political meeting of the
year was held at the quarters of the Seventh
Ward Republican club last night nnd the
aspirations of four rival candidates for the
district bench were thoroughly ventilated
before a crowd that Included nearly all the
most prominent rcpubllc.no workers of the
ward , The mooting was ostensibly to de
termine the manner In which the preference
of the voters In regard to the various can
didates should bo expressed , but It developed
that the sentiment was very onesided and
a resolution that practically endorsed Judgea
Baker nnd Powell for re-election by endorsIng
Ing their conduct during their first term was
ndpt l by a rising vote against which Sam
Maclcod registered himself as a minority of
on i1.
The fight was between the supporters of
Baker and Powell on one side and those who
favored tha aspirations of A. S. Churchill
and George A , Day c the other , and the
Baker and Powell faction was plainly pre
dominant. The speakers expressed the best
of feeling toward the other candidates , but
.based . their support of the present Incum
bents on the rule that a second term Is due
to an official who has once served with
credit.
Vice President G. S. Ambler called the
meeting to order and 13. T. Peterson acted
as secretary. After some preliminary busi
ness the candidates were called on to ex
press themselves and the first call was for
Judge Bakor. Ho received an enthusiastic
reception In return for which ho candidly
stated his position. Ho referred to the gen
eral practice of endorsing an olllclal by re
election and suggested that If the voters
believed that ho had done his duty during
the last four years ho wanted them to re-
cleot him. Ho took occasion to toss a few
iboqucts In Judge Powell's direction nnd In
cidentally to throw a brick In the direction
of certain other residents of the ward. "I
abhor , " ho said , "and God despises a man
who goes from ward to ward and from pre
cinct to precinct nnd sows dissension In the
ranks of his .party. " The crowd apptaudcd
the sentiment In a manner that indicated
that It was Intended to hit someone and
then the other side was given a chance.
Uiiy StntoM 1IU Cimc.
Mr. Day followed with a brief presentation
of his reasons why he considered himself en
titled to the support ol 'the ward. Ho sug
gested that the political somersault exe
cuted by Judge Scott left one vacancy on
thn bench BO far as the republican ticket
Is concerned and that there are whisperings
.that some of the other Judges are not en
tirely satisfactory. In view of this and the
fact that he had lived in the ward longer
than Judge Baker he had decided to bo
a candidate. Ho declared that ho was per
sonally friendly toward Judges Baker and
Powell and woui'd have nothing to say
against them personally. Ho proposed to
try to secure the nomination and If ho
failed ho would support the one the ward
decided to endorse. Ho suggested In closing
that the names of nil four candidates bo
printed cin the ballot In the primaries and
the two who received the highest vote bo
declared entitled to the support of the dele
gation.
Judge Powell was called out and cmtnu-
"vslastlcally greeted. Ho said the previous
speakers had stated the proposition fully.
There Is nothing personal In Uio fight ns
between the candidates. It Is the simple
proposition 'Whether ' the second term rule
that has obtained so long Is a wholesome
rule or not. If ho and his colleague had
shown that they were unlH to hold the office
of district Judge It was the duty of the
voters to say so and demand new candidates.
If they had done their duty they believed
themselves entitled to re-election. He added
that they had done their duty as they saw
It nnd nothing that they could say would
ndd or detract Irom the records taey hud
tnatlo.
Front for Churchill.
A. S. Churchill then took the floor to declare -
clare himself , but 'the ' applause that had
greeted the previous speakers was con
spicuously absent. The chilliness was ein-
p'haslzcd ' after be began to talk nnd when
he proceeded to unsheath a knife that ho
h.ad left from a previous campaign nnd
brandish it menacingly In the faces of the
voters there were Icicles on the chandeliers.
Churchill began by declaring that this second
end term business didn't go with him. "I
have not forgotten , " ho vehemently as
sorted , "tho bitter fight that was made on
mo In this very ward when I was n candi
date for a second term. " 'He ' proceeded to
complain that ho had been thrown out by
fraud and added that ho would not bo a
candidate now If Judge Baker had not as
sured them a year ago that ho wanted to
be governor nud not Judge. Because Judge
Baker had failed In his gubernatorial as
pirations was no reason why ho should give
up his own Judicial ambition and ho pro
posed to get Into the fight.
This ended the list of candidates and the
flnlrl was oncn. J. P. Brcen , Paul Charlton
nnd E. M. Bartlett made vigorous speeches
endorsing the candidacy of Baker nnd
Powell. Each took occasion to express his
personal esteem for the other candidates ,
but declared that men who have Bcrved
creditably through one term are entitled tea
a re-election. To refuse It would bo to
give Uio Impression that they have proved
unlit for the bench nnd neither of them
deserved such a stigma.

iMr. Bartlett said In conclusion that after
all that had occurred there could be no
doubt that this was the general sentiment
of the meeting , Ho therefore offered n
rceolutlon which endorsed the record of the
two Judges nnd recommended their can-

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind , dis
courages and lessens ambition ; beauty , vigor
and cheerfulness boon disappear when the
kidneys are out of order or diseased.
Kidney trouble has become so prevalent
that It is not uncommon for a child to bo
born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the
child urinates too often. If the urine scalds
the flesh , or If. when the child reaches an
ago when It should be able to control the
passage , and It Is yet aflllctcd with bed-wet
ting , depend upon It 'tha ' cause of the dim-
t culty Is kidney trouble and the first stop
should bo toward the treatment of thiee Im
portant organs. This unplcatant trouble. * Is
due to a diseased condition of the kidneys
and bladder and not to a habit , us most
people suppose.
So we flud that women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and bladder
trouble and both need the same remedy.

dldacy for re-election Ho called for a
r , lng vote and the motion wns wondcd
from every part of the hall. H wns put
nnd carried 'by ' n. decided majority , but before -
fore the negative wan registered Mr. Day
nrkcd to IK hoard. He naecrtcd that the
meeting was cnllotl to avoid a controversy
In the ward nnd Insisted that It wwi unfair
to endorse any candidate. Ho did not pro
pose to be shut out of the race In this man
ner.
ner.M. . O. .Macleod . raised the point of order
that the endorsement of candidates was not
contemplated by the by-laws of the club
and Sam Macleod , who had been fidgeting
uneasily for nn hour and A half , came to
the front. He declared that the attorneys
were nil voting for Baker nnd Powell be
cause they were afraid of them nnd this
raised a general protest which merged Into
an emphatic Invitation to Macleod to sit
down. Then Sam's Scotch blood mantled
the 'back of his neck and ho vehemently
called for some one who was big enough
to make him sit down. No one answered
nnd ho raised the limit. "Any two of you , "
ho shrieked , "come on and try It , " and what
else ho said was lost In an uproar that con-
'tinned for a couple of minutes.
A. E. Baldwin urged that It would not
bo Kood politics to act on the latter part
of the resolution , as It might make bitter
feelings nnd Judge Baker did not need It.
Ho need not fear to entrust his cause to
the voters of the ward.
Mr. Bartlett announced that In order that
everyone might be satisfied ho would with
draw the objectionable clause and leave the
resolution a simple endorsement of the of
ficial conduct of Judges Baker nnd Powell.
The resolution , as amended , was then car
ried by what appeared llko a unanimous
vote until Sam Macleod rose as n lonesome
respondent to the negative query.

City Clerk Carpenter is preparing to ad
vertise for bids for the laying of permanent
sidewalks in the districts already estab
lished. When awarded , this contract will
hold good until Juno 1 , 1900. At the last
session of the city council 'Mayor Ensor
called the attention of the body to the
fact that many property owners had failed
to comply with the ordinances requiring
permanent walks to bo laid In certain dis
tricts. The mayor held that as some of the
property owners 'had ' compiled It was not
treating them \falrly \ by not cnforclnc the
ordinance and ho urged that the council
take some action. A motion wns then
passed Instructing the clerk to advertise
for bids and this will be done within the
next day or two. The permanent districts
are Twenty-fourth street , from J to N , and
on N street , from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-
seventh ; also on Q , from Twenty-fourth to
Thirty-third. Brick or artificial stone must
ibe used In the laying of these walks , or If
the property owner desires ho may use
natural stone. South Omaha has raid out
hundreds of dollars to satisfy personal InJury -
Jury claims caused > by defective sidewalks.
and the Intention now Is to have good , sub
stantial , lasting walks laid In the business
part of the city so as to prevent accidents.
Wooden sidewalks last but a short time
here , for the reason that planks are con
tinually 'being ' stolen. And then under the
old system walks used to .be laid on 2xJ
stringers. Those stringers soon rotted and
allowed the nails In .the . planks to work
out , causing accidents when a person walked
on either cdce. Now City Engineer Beal
Insists upon 4x4 stringers , which last much
longer and are much more satisfactory. In
most of the new walks laid now the planks
are wired nt each end with the expecta
tion that the boards will not be torn up and
carried away for kindling wood. In cou-
netclon with permanent walks .It Is under
stood that nn effort will bo made to have
Twenty-fifth Street , between M and N , de
clared n permanent sidewalk district. There
Is a great deal of travel on this street Just
now , and the amount will be Increased as
noon as the new postofflce Is occupied. Prop
erty owners Inside the permanent districts
can go ahead nnd lay the walks themselves
If they wish to do so , 'but after the con
tract Is let the walks will be laid nnd the
coat assessed up against the property.

The streets and alleys committee of the
council Is considering the proposition made
by R. M. Patterson , western manager of
the Clean Street company of Chicago , re
garding the placing of Iron boxes nt street
corners to catch waste paper , etc. This
company proposes io place these boxes at
all important corners providing n franchise
for ten years Is granted. As nn dnduco-
niont the company Is willing to pay the
city 10 per cent of the revenue derived from
the 'boxes. It Is estimated that each box
will earn n , revenue of $2 per month from
advertisements. These advertisements are
to ibe of a national and not local character.
With these .boxrs In place It Is thought that
the people would soon et used to throw'ng
waste paper , banana peollnt-s. etc. , Into the
boxes Instead of on the sidewalks or In
the cutters.
The boxes , if placed , are to bo emptied
once In every twonty-'four hours , and the
city will ibe nt no expense whatever. It Is
stated that .tills company has benn granted
franchises In Sioux City nnd DCS Molncs
and the name proposition made here has
been submitted to the city officials of Coun
cil Bluffs and Omaha.

The annual commencement exerciser of
ho Institute for the Deaf nnd Dumb took
lace last night nt the Instltuto ami a class
t ilvo was graduated and given certificates ,
'ha audience crowded the hnll to the doors
nd paid close attention to the Interesting
irogram.
The graduate * were assisted In rendering
ho program by the other pupils of the
choul. A sign song , "All the Way My
Savior Loads Me , " and a fan drill were
; lven to music by ten or n dozen of the In-
crmcdlate pupils , followed by several reel-
aMons and sonic drawing quickly executed.
The larger part of the evening was taken up
\lth the presentation of several selected
cenca , the first 'being from "Hiawatha's
Voolng. " This was given entirely In the
Ign language of the Indians , which the
pupils am BO well able to endow with
ncanlng. Thcso who took part In this ex-
crclso were Lloyd llhllcy , 'Mnudo ' 'Marshall
nnd Charles Ilartman.
Next were given scenes from Longfellow'n
'Miles Standlsh , " the spoken parts being
akon by pupils who have learned entirely
> y n mechanical procem the art of spcaklftR ,
hough they do not even hear their own
vords. Their control over their voices Is
mpcrfect , because they do not hoar what
hey oiy and never hear how others enunci
ate and employ emphasis and Inflection ,
The result Is that their spoken sentences
sometimes sound strangely mechanical. The
lllTlcultlcs they have overcome In learning
o speak , oven thus Imperfectly , are appar
ent at once and their hearers cannot but
admire them for their patience and persist
ence.
ence.Harry Myers , who took the part of Miles
Stnndlsh , spoke with the clearest pronunci
ation. Zlba Osmun , as John Alden , relied
moro on his ability to act , portraying mooda
with considerable power. Hattlo Colcman
made an entirely self-possessed Prlscllla.
Charles Ilartman , Bert 1'llsbry and Maude
Zwelfel filled out the cast.
The "Mask of Pandora" was given with a
arger cnet and with more attention to
staging. The acting of the pupils in this
cpresentatlon , at variance with the spoken
Inos , showed them to have a full apprecla-
lon of the parts and to comprehend the
meaning of the -whole.
One of the prettiest numbers of the even-
ng was the hoop drill given by sixteen girls
IrcEsed In .white and carrying green hoops.
The GrnilttntliiK EnNnyn.
This was followed by the essays of the
members of the graduating class. Each es
say was road and the writer simultaneously
with the reading gave a recitation of It In
the sign language from memory. In this
nrthod of expressing themselves the pupils
were freer and put a surprising1 amount of
miniated expression Into their gestures.
Their essays showed that they had Informed
themselves thoroughly on subjects of re
cent importance and were fully as much up
.o date as their .more favored 'brothers. The
; raduates and their subjects were ae fol
lows : John O'Brien , "TOio Modern Newspa-
icr ; " Maude Jenkins , "A Century Ago- "
Patrick H. Regan , "The First Kingmaker
of America ; " August Kobereteln , "The Phil
ippine Question ; " Emma Q. Morse , "Tho
Choice of Books. " The last named was vale
dictorian.
Governor Poynter "then , made a brief ad
dress in presenting the certlflcates. Ho said
their training was not finished , but that the
certificates showed simply that they had
reached a certain degree of proficiency. He
congratulated them on securing an educa
tion , for the educated
among men were al
ways preferred above the others. He wished
them Godspeed in whatever walk their lots
should ibe cast.
