PRICE FIWE CSNTS 1 OF I II 33J Ho-owatM', Hoggen '""1 tno 1o'l Willow representative got tangled up lit the enpltol Thursday forenoon, autl tho utTrlghtcd air with a shudder lntru tho torrlltlo rumble anil grumble anil roar, tolling a bottlo was on once itioro. but Sheridan wasn't twenty miles away by any inoais. On Tuesday Represen tative' Sheridan, In a speeeh In the house, rubbed Col. Riwewatcr's fur the wrong way a little. Rose water Is some thing of 'I ft"' nthber hltnself. anil Thursday morning the Men Intimated that Sheridan had endeavoivd to ex tort money from Insurance men to con trol his action on a certain hill ulToot Ing insurance companion. Thursday forenoon Sheridan approached Hose water in the corridor near tho door of tin, luiimo of reoresentatlves and de manded an explanation of tho squib in tho lice and the diminutive newspaper Wing bluntly told him that he hud heard from Hon. Goo. .1. Stornsdorfl" of Omaha that Sheridan had tried to hold him up. and was inclined to bellev It. but would gtvo him all the space he de sired li the Heo in which to deny It. An hour or so later Hosewater anil Sheridan met again In the corridor and the former uskoil Sheridan whether ho had decided what he wanted In tho maiter. Tho inquiry in furiated the poker novice from Hod Willow and ho readied for the lilli putian. After slapping him twice he was just getting him into position to punch his nose right hard when lion. I'M Hoggen, tho Hoe's heavy-weight, chanced to look around and see what wiisnn. With one bound ho landed a left-hander upon fc'heriduns forehead. Sheridan was in It, however, to stay, and releasing his hold upon Hosewater ho turned his attention to Hoggen. Tho latter weighs 2(10 pounds and Sheridan nearly as much. A very pretty mill was promised hai' n tan in cident occurred, as to the nature of which authorities dllYor. Some say that Hoggen slipped and fell, while others Insist that Sheridan, by a blow that brought a crimson stream from his now;, knocked him down. Hoproxon tu tlvo Wildman of Hitchcock county and Charley Williams, a good-looking and muscular newspaper man from Grand Island, pulled Sheridan away from his fallen antagonist and tho cruel war was over. There was plenty of blood on Hoggon's shirt front to tell tho tale of Sheridan's poweross. It is presumed that tliis episode will amply compen sate members of tho present session for any dissappolntmonts entertained over not enjoying an oyster supper on Texas bivalves', as did tho session of two vears ago. Somehow or other tho good things of this life are usuully prettv fairly and equally distributed. change or modify its bid after all had been opened. Tho claim is not without foundation, and the question as to whet icr tho bid had been changed or simply explained has been referred to the city attorney. Meantime neither the board's recommendation that. It be let to tho Milwaukee concern nor Mr. O'Shea's recommendation that it be let to a Leavenworth company, has re ceived the sanction of the council, which Is about evenly divided on the question. It is such little dilToronoos of opinion us this Unit often lead poo pin to suspect that city councils and lxtards of public works can be boodled. The linos are drawn In city politics for one of the hottest campaigns that lias ever been fought in this city. There are three candidates for mayor. H. H. Graham Is the choice of the re publican convention, but he Is not likely to receive nearly the full repub lican strength, although there are ele ments very zealous In his interests that may bring to his aid enough toconipen sato for the loss of republican Support. There are, however, evidences of a very considerable disalYcctiou, and it is noticeable that as yet not one of the three republican daily papers of the city has had a word to say in his be liaif. and It is doubtful if either of them will all'oid him any very active support. His most formidable oppo nent Is Mayor A. II. Weir, who lias been nominated by tho independents and endorsed by the democrats. His friends claim that he will also carry the active support of tho element of republicanism that elected him two years ago. The prohibitionists have nominated K. S. Ilawley, who will probably not carry tho full strength of his party. For city troasurjr tho republicans have nominated Kliner It. Stephenson for a third term, ohiolly because ho had Jl,000of city fuuds'in the Capital National bank, which ho would be re quired to make good to his succosso were he to have a successor. Hut he lias been an obliging and faithful olllcial and is a politician of no moan ability, which may pull him through safely to success in spite of the an inosltlcs engendered by his reuomina tion. Ills chief opponent is 11. M. Leuvitt, who is the nominee of the in dcoudoiits and democrats, and will make a rattling canvass. A. N. WyoolT is the prohibition candidate, but stands little show. the board of education, all excellent men anil well qualified for the position. They are. I. K. Miller, recently elected to membership to succeed .1. II. Kdson, C. .1. Krnst und Prof. Lawrence doss ier. The meeting adopted resolutions declaring In favor of continuing the schools to the full term of the present school your: in favor of enlarging the school room by building new ward schools as needed, and directing those who may by the legislature be endowed with tiio power of controlling the school levy to provide funds to meet the detlclt so that there need be no such dilllculty next year as has been experienced this year. The meeting was in every way a gratifying one un til, near Hie close, Mrs. Hello G. Hige low entered a characteristic protest be cause no woman had been chosen for a place on the school 'tonrd and Hon. Allcrt Watkins felt called upon to say men have been assaulted upon the streets lit night Mrs. Kingman and sister on North Sixteenth street, Miss Tlbbotts and Miss Morrissey on South Sixteenth, Miss Atchison and Miss Fitzgerald at Klghteenth and I' and two young women employed as domes tics in the homes of Kd Hignell and .1. I'. Maule, at Kightoonth and K streets. In every Instance the design was rob bery and in each instance at least one of tho ladles was severely injured. The ninth lady was an act rets who was murdorously ussaulted at Twelfth und () streets, presumably by a man who mistook nor for his wife. The per e tratorof the latter assault was not the same as in the other instances. In fact the others were not all perpetrated by the same man, as It was a white man who did the tlrst two and a col ored man the last two. The police have boon powerless to locate the rob- Hut tho state house has not enjoyed u monopoly in pugilism during the week, as County Commissioner .loo Me Gruw and ex-Conimissionor H. II. Shu berg came together with a clash last Wednesday in the county commission ers' rooms attho court house and Sha borg woiv a black eye next day. The trouble grew out of the legal battle now being waged In the courts to pre vent MoGruw from drawing 1."0 per month salary as commissioner. Mart Howe has appealed to tho courts from tho allowance of tho salary, and Sha ltorg is on Howe's appeal bond. This made the pugnacious ofllclal from the lighting Fifth ward sore at Shuliorg and he accordingly Introduced before tho board of commissioners a resolution directing tho county attorney to begin suit against Sliahorg to recover some $1,700 which he claimed Shaborg had drawn in excess of tho salary allowed him by law. Tho board declined to en tertain the resolution. This was the situation when Messrs McCiraw and Shaborg mot Wednesday and the latter Informed the former that he was a liar, .lust how they came together no one present could toll with any great degree of accuracy. There is a strong suspicion extant to the elTeet timt Hi., nooiile of the Fifth ward will welcome the day when they will have redeemed themselves from tne blunder of over having elected .loo .Met! raw as commissioner. In tho usually felicitous ranks of tho city government there was also an olll eia'l row this week. Some ten days since tho board of public works singled out from among the twenty-four bid ders for tho erection of the big O street viaduct tho Milwaukee Hridgeand Iron Works as tho best bidder and recom mended tho acceptance of its bid. At tho last meeting Councilman O'Shea, chairman of tho viaduct committee, submitted a long report In which lie opposed tho reeoinmendatlan of the b in rd on tho ground that tho Milwau kee concern had been allowed to For city clerk John W. Howon, a well-known Grand Army man, is the republican champion. He stands the best show for election of any man on his ticket. J. W. Jordan, bookkeeper for I'M Hyde's printing establishment, bus tho ind Kmlcut and democratic nomination, and J. M. Hamilton of the Now Republic that of tho prohibition ists. For tho other olllees the candi dates are simply too numerous to mention. The school board has sepa rate nominees from the iiou-partisau convention, the republican conven tion, the independent, prohibition and mass convention of women. Tho democrats endorsed tho non-partisan candidates. The bitterest light may l expect oil over the excise board, which will go hand in hand with tho light for mayor, lis the saloons and gambling houses will strive hard to se cure the election of 'the men most likely to be as friendly to their inter ests as James Kelly has been during the )inst two years. Tho probabilities are, however, that the lawless element Is likely to meet with a rebulTlhat will take its breath away when the votes are counted If tho law-abiding and christian people of the city see their way clearly to their duty at the polls.

At present over TOO child ren are attending school in school house basements and rented store rooms, with poor light, poor ventila tion and pool' school facilities. They are mostly small children, and it is of tlie utmost Importance that no time he lost in getting them into comfortable, attractive and healthful quarters. The money that is paid out annually in rentals would pay the interest on a sum sullleiout to build the additional school room needed. Tho non-partisnn school board meet ing last Friday evening at the court house was well attended by fully a hun dred and fifty of tho very best people In tho city-people who appreciate the Importance to any community of the best school facilities available. Tho meeting selected three or four non partisan candidates for membership in Four giddy young ladles who have long been employed by tho Lincoln l'aintand Color company declined to appear as part of that company's ex hibit at the recent inauufacturers' car nival.

After having their design of making an inl Testing show at carnival frustrated the olllcials of th conpany, after mature deliberation, decided to let the girls hunt some jobs whieli they would not deem beneath thorn, and four other girls now paste labels and color cards in the color com pany's new warehouses. Messrs. Weil and Waugh were satisfied that the com pany was asking nothing of the young Indies of which they need lie ashamed, and such being the case, they thought if they would not comply with the company's wish, they might as well go. There Is a fooling growing dally stronger in tills community to the ef fect that Governor Crounse ought, in justice to tho whole state, to remove Joseph (Juriicau, Jr., of Omaha, from the KisitIon of state commissioner gen oral of the world's fair. Governor Couuso, it is true, is a friend of Omaha. Garueau is not only a friend of bunhu. but Is known to lo such an enemy of i Lincoln that he has declared that no I one from this city shall receive any of tlie numerous appointments which, as I chief representative of this tato, ho is likely to control in connection with the . selection of tlie large force of clerks and assistants t tint will bo needed at ' the great fair. There are some worthy tlie and able aspirants in this city who would undoubtedly receive the recog nition they deserve wore it not for Mr. ' Garuoau's avowed antipathy to Lin-j coin. Governor Crounse owes it to his' loal friends in Lincoln ami other parts o' the stnt" outside of Omaha to remove Mr. Gurneuu. W. Morton Smith, who lias ably pre sided over the editorial columns of the Kvonlng News for tho past year, has severed Ills connection with that paper. It is not known yet to what ho will now direct his i.ttentlou, hut in whatever direction he may turn his talents he will undoubtedly bo successful. He li succeeded as editor of the News by Sam Low, a young attorney who sees in the journalistic field more that is lllurlng and promising than in the practice of law. He is a young man of bright In tellect and tine mental attainuumts, and what is as much as cither to the purpose, a gonial, clever and compan- ouahle man. He will be a success us an editor. If the Inventor of anathema were alive today he would hardly find lan guage of sullleiout force with which to satisfy tlie demand for suitable charae- teri'.atiou of the sort of weather dished up to us. The weather since the sec ond day of February has demonstrated tho fact that the ground hog is not by any means a dead Issue. Ills six weeks of added seclusion are now up and still if ho is as level headed as he is cur rently reputed to be lie will slumber on a while yet. Meantime the bad colds, grip ami rheumatism that that six weeks has brought out would be a bonanza for any health resort. There Is a suspicion current that the doctors have stood in with the ground hog this year.
