Thos. Pollock went to York this morning to attend the annual meeting of the Presbytery. From the Journal of last April we note the fact that the trees are leaf ing out along the river bank. There will be a meeting of the board of trade to-night at the G. A. R. Hall at 8 o'clock. All members are requested to be present. A. C. Wright found his overcoat all right. It was not stolen from Stiles' boarding house, as he sup posed, but was worn away by mis take. The funeral of the late U. V. Mathews to-day was very largely at tended notwithstanding the un pleasant weather. Two of the brothers of the deceased and some other relatives from the East are in the city to-day. The new city bakery of II. Week bach & Co. took out their first bak ing yesterday, consisting of a fine line of delicious cakes. This morn ing they will take out their first bread, and hereafter the public will be served at their doors with the best bread and other fruits of the bakery nice and fresh. The young ladies of the South Park Tabernacle will give a parlor concert at the parsonage Monday evening, April 13th. Five cents ad mission at the door, and supper served for 30 cents a couple. The proceeds will go toward the pulpit furniture in the new church. Every body invited to attend and help a good cause. Burned Out, The sparks from a passing loco motive set fire to a hay stack at the home of Mrs. Armstrong, south of the IiS M. shops near Mrs. O'Neill's residence, this forenoon, and the high wind soon communicated the flames to her barn and cribs near by, resulting in a total loss of the barn and all its contents. She had several bushels of corn on hand which was speedily consumed. Even the family cow was in such close quarters for a time that she got her coat badly singed. With such a high wind as has prevailed all daj' it was a wonder the fire was not carried farther. The loss will be about $300 with no insurance. THE CITY KLKCTION. Everybody Pleased With The New Votinrj System. FATAL RIDE ON THE RIVER. John Fleherty Falls a Victim to the Missouri River by the Upset tine: of a Boat. Court House Notes and General News The City Election. Yesterday was held in this city as quiet an election as could well be imagined. There was no crowd about the polling places and no hustling of voters. One carriage did duty for the whole town instead of eight or ten as heretofore. Every bod 3' seemed pleased with the workings of the new S3"stcm. Mike Murphy in the Third ward was delighted with it, while J. C. Peterson in the Fourth never saw a better sj'stem of voting. The vote on councilmen was as follows: FIRST WARD. W. D. Jones , George Houseworth 88 71 Majorit3' 17 SECOND WARD. D. M. Jones 138 D. K. Barr. Ji Majorit 41 THIRD WARD. M. B. Murphy 107 Charley Ilemple 77 Majorit3" FOUKTn WARD. 'JO J. C. Peterson 11G Con Connor 75 Majorit3r 41 FIFTH. WARD. J. D. Simpson 41 Wm. Shea J. L. Minor G9 T. M. Dove CO E. E.

Waugh 1st ward 117, 2nd ward 174, 3rd ward 144, 4th ward 93, 5th ward 40. A. J. Graves 1st ward 4G, 2nd ward 70, 3rd ward 103, 4th ward 77, 5th ward 71. M. Schirk 1st ward 70, 2nd ward 117, 3rd ward C9, 4th ward 87, 5th ward 42. TOTAL VOTE. Bennett 491 Waugh 508 Graves 367 Schirk 385 NOTES. Ten ballots were thrown out in First ward because they did not compl- with the law. D. M. Jones sa-s the Australian ballot is a beauty and works like a charm. The democrats lose two members of the city council. Twelve votes were cast for D. K. Barr in the Second ward which were thrown out on the slightest pretext They should have been counted for him. Over 100 votes were sworn in yes terday by those who failed to regis ter. The barr fight in the Second was a lively tussle. V D. M. Jones will be the only rep resentative of the prohibitionists in the cit' council. The screed in the Journal last night about the effect the ci.t3T print ing was having on this paper fell to pieces of its own weighL What ef fect it is having on the Journal will be noted later on. It will now eat its crow and whoop it up for the men it has maligned. The New Council. The new cit3r council will be one of the strongest and most progress ive ever elected in this cit-. The personel will be as follows: First ward A. Salisbury, rep.; W. D. Jones, dem. Second ward W. L. Browne, rep.; I). M. Jones, (Inn. Third ward E. (I. Larson, dem.; M. 15. Miirp!i3 rep. Fourth ward A. Gutsche, dem.; J. C. Petersen, rep. Fifth ward -J. M. Dove, rep.; Ji L. Minor, dem. It will thus be seen that political l3r the council is a tie, with a repub lican iiia3ror to cast the deciding vote. Tne result can therefore be considered a republican victorj'. The new membership is made up of excellent material that will work for the advancement of the cit3's ever3' interest. W. D. Jones, from the First ward, is an old citizen and a yroperty owner that takes pride in his town. He will make a good member. D. M. Jones, in the Second, is an improvement man all the time; he has long- advocated the extending of the sewer and the paving of Washington avenue. He is on record as being the first man to urge these improvements before the council when he was elected last 3-ear. M. B. Murphy, in the Third, has always been a zealous supporter of action in the council; his election gives universal satisfaction. J. C. Petersen is a new man, politically speaking, but if he manages public affairs with the success that he does his own busi ness, he will be a valuable member. Minor and Dove, in the Fifth, are energetic citizens and we believe will help to give the cit3r a clean, honest, progressive administration. A Fatal Accident. This morning about eight o'clock Mr. Lindon, of the Rilc3", Frank Gustafson, in Peterson & Larson's emplo3r, and John Flehert3", a step son of Policeman Fitzpatrick, ob tained a skiff and started across the river to hunt ducks on the Iowa bottoms. The wind was gale up stream blowing a which rol in turb- led ulent high. the waves billows almost five feet Seldom has the river been seen so rough. As the party got out into the current near the B. & M. bridge the boat became unman ageable, but fortunatel" C. II. Peter sen, the proprietor of the ferr3", saw them and told his son to get their skiff read3', as he did not think the skiff, he could see on the waves to the north-east would ride in that rough sea ver3r long and he was right, for no sooner had his boat been made read3r than the skiff was seen to upset throwing the thre passengers out into fort3" feet of water. Mr. Peterson hastened to assistance and 3-elled at the bo3"s to sta3' b3r the boat but 3-oung Fleherty thouhgt he could swim a shore, and long before Mr. Peter sen could reach him he sunk for the last time. Mr. Lindon it ma3' be said to his credit, did all in his power to save the unfortunate bo3, but being handicapped with about thirty pounds of amunition on his person he could not save him. In fact, had Peterson been a moment later he too, would have met a water3' grave, but b3 hard work he was hauled into the skiff. All this time young Gustafson was resting securelj on the bottom of the upturned boat which reared and plunged in the angry waves as a thing of life. He was soon res cued from his perilous position and the entire part3r then started for Mr. Petersen's home near b3', where res toratives were applied to Mr. Lin don until he had recovered suffi ciently to be brought to town. Johnn3r Fleherty, the unfortunate victim of the surging waters of the hungry Missouri, was a bright, active bo3"-, about 16 -ears of age. He had been employed in the B. &. M. shops and made his home with his step-father, Johnn3' Fitzpatrick. An effort is being made to recover the bod3', but 110 one scarce expects success, unless it be down the river after the body has risen to the sur face. Mr. Petersen, the proprietor of the best feriy on the river, de serves praise without limit for his fearless services in saving the lives of Lindon and Gustofson, fo-neither of them could have withstood the cold, dashing waters much longer. Mr. Lindon lost his shotgun and Gustofson gave his away as soon as he got onto dr3 land. "Fruits and Friut Trees" is an ably written book and gives trusty information for all who grow fruit of any sort or kind. Stark Bros.' Nurseries, Louisiana, Mo.. will send it free to all interested.

Count3' survc3ror Madole has been busy getting the levels and staking out the ground for the foundation. MURKAY BREVITIES UY PANSY'. Charles Conally is putting an ex tra room to his cottage on Main street. David Conrad is intending to work for William Morrow this summer. On Wednesday of this week will occur the marriage of Mr. Root to Miss M3rra Hodgens. Mrs. Wm. Loughridge is enjo3'ing a visit irom her niece, Miss Anna Kessler, from Buffalo count3r. David Pitman has been building an addition to his house. A new kitchen and wood house are the im provements. A good music teacher would do well to come to Murray this summer as we are in need of some one in that line of business. Mr. Anderson Root delivered at Union twent3'-seven fat hogs Tues day morning averaging about two hundred and fifty pounds a piece. The past month (March) has been the worst month we have seen in the state of Nebraska, on account of the bad roads. This is something we are not used to in our grand state. Edmunds & Root have been se curing a new stock of goods, such as satines, calicos, muslins, ging hams, groceries, queensware, etc. to which the3 invite the attention of their patrons. The Missionar3" Societ3" of the United Presb-tcrian church met at Mrs. J. W. Edmunds' and proceeded to business. The3' made a quilt and are prepared to do plain sewing for aii3'one in need of their services. How it makes our hearts gladden and rejoice to seethe sun once more shine upon us. The greatest blessing- to mankind, a jo- to evcrj one, it shineth on rich and poor alike, it shineth in our homes and brings peace and good will to man. A cool breeze fanned our "city on the hill" last Friday- and we began to think winter had come in all her glor3 and we might as well prepare for a blizzard, but the sun shone again in the afternoon and we were not so badly' discouraged. Once more we begin to think that "old winter" has left us and spring will make her appearance in a short time. We notice the green grass creeping from her mossy' bed and the trees are budding. Soon we will be making garden and "April showers will bring May flowers." The Ladies' Aid Society of the Christian church met at Mr. James Roofs on Wednesday, March 25, and spent the day in sewing. Anyone wanting sewing done hy these ladies will do well to call on them; they' have a handsome quilt about done that will be for sale; and those contemplating matrimony should give them a call. The Sabbath School of the United Brethren church at Otterbein chapel held Easter services there last Sun day evening; it was postponed from Easter until then on account of bad weather. The evening was spent in singing, recitations, etc. The house was decorated very beautifully and the services rendered were a credit to the school. The exposition at the Buck school hoiie came off last Wednesday night, but owing to the inclemency of the weather it did not prove as muclx ot a success as it wouiu nau the weather been more favorable. The exercises consisting of recita tions, stump speeches, dialogues and music, was well rendered by the pupils who had labored hard for the past three weeks with untir ing energy, with the help of their teacher, Mr. Jame3 Reynolds, of Union, who has so ably presided over them during the past winter. Mr. Reynolds has proved himself a successful teacher and both pupils and patrons are well pleased with the work done. CLEARANCE SALE OF: LAD ES ANDCHILDREHS CLOAKS.
