A IVtltion From Mr. Iovy, In IC-Kr' t IIIh Suit AgatiiHt tli t ity. It K:il Itt-Tore the Me-tltK Would I.ik An I iim-llt Nettlemeiit of the t'ontro- vry A Happy C'oul. There was a rather brief sopwion of the city fathers ut tho council cham ber last njtfht less than an hour be incr taken 11 r and, although little business of importance was transacted, tho meeting was a very interesting one. Upon roll-call by the clerk, it was found that all tho members were present except VVhalen. Minutes of last regular meeting were road, and after a correction had boen made, wore adopted. A communication from It. Ii. Wind ham was read, and ordered placed on file. The clerk next read a petition from Geo. E. Uovey in regard to that gen tleman's suit against tho city of Plattsmouth. Tho Euit, so the peti tion stated, w.is brought because of damage which some of tho Dovey property sustained from a water sewer, located adjacent thereto; that it was tho wish of the petitioner to ar rive at soma agreement with tho coun cil, or a committee from that body, and that any reasonable proposition which they might make, looking to a final settlement of the matter, would be cheerfully and carefully considered. A communication from City Attorney Grimes, stating his opinion in tho matter, was also read. The attorney favored arbitration as the bet way out of tho difficulty. Mr. Cummins, as chairman of the judiciary commit tee, was also in favor of arbitration, and said ho had called on Mr. Dovey to talk the matter over, but the latter had been busy" at the time. After considerable discussion as to what disposition should be made of the matter, a motion to lay it over until next meeting prevailed unani mously. Cummins, of the judiciary commit tee, moved that tho ordinance re cently drafted by the city attorney, compelling property owners to remove snow, ice and i-ther obstructions from their sidewnlks, be not adopted. Mr. Sattler asked to be enlightened as to why this conclusion had been arrived at. Mr. Cummins gave sev eral reasons, one of which was that they were not vested with the power to adopt such an ordinance. Attor ney Grimes gave, as his legal opinion, that the ordinance was good and valid, and that it could be easily en forced. The attorney further stated that he had copied it after the statutes of the an eastern city; that the ordinance had been sustained by the supreme court of the states 01 Illinois ana Connecticut; also that he had drafted it at the instiga tion of the council, not of his own ac cord, and. that he had thought it good and valia at the time t.f drafting it and that he still continued to think so. A motion to lay the matter on the table was made, and a vote re sulted in live for and four against the proposition. Several other mo tions were voted upon, but the orig inal motion to lay the matter on the table prevailed. The finance committee then handed in its report, and, on motion of Lutz, the city clerk was instructed to draw warrants for the following accounts against the city: Wm.

The report of the police judge and marshal were found correct by the po lice committee and ordered placed on file. Adjournment was then taken. Were Happily Wedded. At 8 o'clock last evening Judge M. Archer pronounced the words which united the lives of Mr. Ed Petersen and Miss Emily A. Linquist. The contracting parties are both well known in this city, the former being in the emyloy of J. I. Unruh, while the bride has acted in the ca pacity of clerk in the "Wonder" store. The cei inony w as peiformed a few minutes prior to the commencing of the city council and the memb-ts were, therefoi e, permitted to wilhess the performance, a treat which they had not anticipated. New iotal Curd. The new postal c ird issued by the Washington department is just mak its appearance in this city. It does not differ materially froin the old one, the main chango being that it is about a qu"rter of an inch narrower. This difference furnishes the reason for the new card. It can be enclosed in an ordinary-sized envelope, which could not be done with the old one. In other respects the two cards are alike except that the form of the let tering on the new one is somewhat different. Pettee's music stor and piano de pot, is headquarters for the- latest in nice sheet music. Call in. At Itoyd'M Tlietre.

STAMPS FOR THE EXPOSITION. I'oHtolllre Department Finally Decide. poll the DenlK"". Washington, Jan. 24. Tho post otlice department has selected designs for tho Transmississippi Exposition Htamps ana they are now in tho hands of the Bureau of Printing and En graving, which has been requested to rush their preparation for the presses As finally decided upon tho subject of stamps will bo as follows: One cent stamp, Marquette on the banks of tho Mississippi, after a painting by Lam prect; 2-cent, Ends bridge over the Mississippi, showing a portion of the city of St. Louis: 4-cent, mounted In pian chief, after a drawing by Freder ick Kemington; o-cent, hunting buffalo, after a picturo in Schoolcraft's "History of Indians;" 8-cent, shows Fremont, tho pathfinder, raising tho (lag on the llocky mountains. The 10-cent stamp shows tho hardships of of scotts. Tho design is after a paint ing by A. G. Heaton of Philadelphia and represents an emmigrant's wagon, drawn by a team of horses, ono of which is fallen and cannot rise. It is surrounded by tho emigrant, his wife and children, who are looking at it in helplessness. On the 50-cent stamp will bo a mining scene, an old pros pector and two mules. The$l stamp will show a herd of cattle fleeing be fore a storm. The hist stamp of the series is a $2 stamp and represents a harvesting scence in the great north west. The department hai considered carefully the protests of stamp collec tors, who do not wish to have the stamps issued, but before the issue was finally decided on it received the approval of the cabiuet. Philatelists prefer, if the i.-sue is to be made at all, that ho new stamps shall replace those now in use for the period of the exposition at least, thus giving them a standing which they would not have if they were merely a fancy series of stamps, issued without any real rea son. The matter is receiving atten tion from the department and it is very likely that the special issuo will succeed the regular issue for the six months during which the exposition will last. President of Brazil Coming. Washington, Jan. 24. Following the visit of President Dole of Hawaii, it is not improbable that the prospec tive president of Brazil will visit tho United States some time between March 1 and November next. The election occurs in March and tho pre vailing impression is that Senor Cam pos Salles, candidate of the republican party, and an eminent member of that element, will bo elected. He has sig nified the purpose in case of his elec tion of visiting Argentina and other southern republics and of then coming to the United States for an extended trip. He has traveled widely in Eu rope and this will be the first visit to the United States. Hacklen's Arnica Salve.

Here are the latest directions: Use one teaspoonful of Graiu-O to two cups of cold water. Mix the Grain-O with half an egg and add the water. (Be sure to measure.) After the water gets to the boiling point, let boil for fifteen to twenty minutes. Use cream and sugar to suit the taste. If you have not cream use hot milk. A lady said: "The first time I drank Arain-O I did not like it, but after using it for ten days and forming the habit, nothing would induce me to go back to coffee." This is the exper ience of ail. If you will follow direc tions, measure it every time and make it the same, and try it for ten days, 3-0U wili not go back to coffee. Hoinetteekers' tnursons.
