tion was referred to the judiciary

The claims committee reported
that ;the bill of I. Pcarlman for
$I.'5iL'J), for furnishing the council
chamber be allowed. After consid
erable discussion the claim was al
lowed with but one dissenting vote.
The cemetery committee was in
structed to have the grass cut and
the fences repaired at the cemetery.
The city attorney failed to have a
report ready so the council could
take action on the opening of Ninth
street and also in the paving matter
and was given another week to make
a report.
On motion of Petersen the mayor
Appointed a committee of three to
secure suitable rooms for the police
judge and other public gatherings.
The mayor appointed Petersen,
Murphy and Spies as such commit
tee. The council also decided to pur
chase two dozen more chairs for
the council chamber.
Mr. Petersen thought the council
should take some action in beauti
fying Garfield Park; also have a
cut made so that it could be printed
in the pamphlet which is to be sent
abroad, stating that a good park
would help the town. Messrs,
Steimker and Longenhagen thought
that if the council had aii3' more
money than they knew what to do
with the best place to put it would
be to better the condition of the
streets.
On motion, the council adjourned.
Nebraska City convention at such
an early date.
"The petition reads this way:
'We, the undersigned qualified
voters of 'Nebraska, of the First
congressional district thereof, here
or?a"izinr oureelves into the
citizens party, do make the follow
ing nomination for the office, of
representative in the United States
congress, which office is to be filled
at the next ensuing election, in'the
First congressional district of Ne
bra ska.' ,
"Some peculiarities' crop out in
the petition. It nominates Con
gressman Bryan and nominates
his political party or principles as
'citizens.' It is siirned Tarsrolv liv
j- --j j
farmers and laborers, although
there are a few well-known demo
crats. Among the names is that of
James Devinney, an oil inspector
under Governor Boyd. Two sign
ers give their occupation as that of
old soldier. There are three saloon
men among the names and a fourth
writes his name with a cross, but
the most peculiar signature is that
of I.. G. Todd, who has evideiitl' at
tached his name with a string to it,
for he adds: 'If he understands it.
If not, then null and void.' This
nomination precedes the Nebraska
City affair several hours in point of
time."
Things Political.
Owens, of Kentucky, was made
temporary chairman of . the demo
cratic national convention and Wil-
soe of Texas, permanent chairman.
Wilson is a Cleveland man.
Everything indicates to-day that
Cleveland will be nominated on the I
first ballot.
The I Iill delegates of New York
are still shouting for Hill, but it
looks as though Cleveland would
get the nomination.
A prominent and leading demo
crat of this city was heard to make
the remark with clinched fist and
a couple of adjectives to it that if
Hill got the nomination he would
vote for Belva Ixckwood for presi
dent. It is currently reported in Wash
ington that Mr. Depew has been ap
pointed secretary of state and that
his nomination will be sent to the
senate to-morrow.
Seriously Hurt.
Dr. Hall keeps his horse and bug
gy in a shed behind his office dur
ing the daj-. Yesterday evening
the horse slipped the bridle off
and backed out from under the
shed. In so doing a post was
knocked down, scaring the horse so
that it started to run. The horse
started home and on the way run in
to a little boy of Mr. Hodgetts, who
was playiug in the street. The
horse in attempting to make the
turn into Dr. Hall's yard, upset the
buflTflry throwing both horse and
b"ff:y " the ditch. The little boy
had a gash cut in his head about
four inches long and although he
is seriously hurt it is thought not
dangerously.
T" I. I i
uuj is uomg as gooa as
could be expected' tinder the cir
cumstances. The top of the buggy
was torn off and a wheel broken
besides the horse was somewhat
bruised.

Cats of Long Ago.
The piercing and cutting teeth of some
of the cats of long ago are the most per
fectly adapted instruments for cutting
purposes that ever were seen, being un
equalled by any manufactured tools for
such uses.
For example, there was the "gompho
dus," which was as big as the largest
panther and had two teeth in its upper
jaw resembling daggers, each five incheH
in length. As weapons for penetrating
flesh they are unrivaled among carniv
orous animals, recent or extinct. They
are rather like the teeth of some huge
uesn eating dinosaurs, the "terrible rep
tiles" of the Mesozoic epoch, which had
cutting teeth that nothing could resist.
Doubtless this creature was inconceiva
bly bloodthirsty. Quite as fierce, how
ever, and even more formidable by rea
son of its greater size, was the contem
porary pogonodon," which was as large
as the biggest jaguar.
There were two species of this animal,
wliich held the field in Oregon during
the period I speak of against all rivals.
It was undoubtedly a great destroyer of
life among the herbivorous beasts. In

mi. iCKeiiueier in uis curious lecture on

that both the birds and the senders are
English. In Belgium alone, according
to this authority, there are 600,000 racing
birds, which in case of a war would be
put at the disposal of the government.
and every one of these is a trained bird.
They used, it is stated, to train them
over the south of France, but that is
now interdicted, and no bird from Bel
gium or Germany is allowed to be
trained in France. The fear of course is
that in the event of a war these trained
pigeons would be smuggled into the in
terior, and thus information could be
carried out. London News.

How the Englishman Likes His Game.
One fad I noticed amoner the English
I am unable to express my contempt for.
The Britisher, you know, is nothing if
not outre, and this is as true of his eat
ing as others of his affairs. What would
you think of the restaurant or hotel that
would serve you a duck or other bird
that smelled like a dead mule that the
buzzards wouldn't eat? And yet that's
the way the Englishman has his bird
served, and he is bull headed enough to
swear that he loves game meat only
when it is tainted. 1 hope that form of
Anglomania will never run riot in this
