Tho other had some good recomraondations from people in Wahoo, not only as one who had experience as an engineer but also as a man who was steady, careful and painstaking. However, there was some doubt as to his ability to run the machinery at the power house, as it was different from that with which he was familiar. In addition to ttaeee pro posed disqualifications, it wa3 also shown that, in case all three of these men were employed, their duties would involve the running of the gas plant something they Knew nothing about. Mayor Itichey stated that he regretted this matter had to come up, and had hoped all along that it would not be found necessary to make a change, but since Messrs. Johns and Dabb had banded in their resignations and would go out on April 1, it was absolutely necessary that the council reach some conclusion in this matter. Ilinshaw thereupon stated that he thought the mayor was empowered by law to make these appointments, and it was the council's duty to confirm them. Ilis honor replied that ho did not wish to take the responsibility to se lect men for these important positions, but if the council wanted to leave the matter in his hands, ho would make a couple of appointments and have the men here ten days before Messrs. Johns ind Dabb went out, so that they could become familiar with the work ings of both plants. This proposition carried by a vote of 6 to 4. The following list of judges and clerks of election were then confirmed: First ward Judges, Tld.. Stamm, II. HoiUr.-. Hy, C. Schlator, F. Fl. Blsv:k, C. W. Su... ra.'ii; :i erics, li. Wurl, Win.

Marshal Morrissey's report waa also referred to that committee. Street Commissioner Hanson's re port of work done was referred to the committee on streets, alleys and bridges. The report of the city treasurer was placed in the hands of the committse on finance. Upon the suggestion of White, the city clerk was Instructed to hold back the accounts of all those against whom the tax collector had any claims. The matter of the city:8 taxation was brought up by White. In view of the fact that the court house and county jail were exempt from taxation, Mr. White saw no reason why the city's property ehould not be equally exempt. A committee, coneiating of Ed Lutz, Sattlor nnd White, waa appointed to Interview the comtnlHHioners in regard to this matter. Ilerold moved that tho uotlces of tho:ity flection, heretofore publibhetl in bui one paper, be printed from now until tho time of election in all the city paper. Carried.

The channel nt the point where the company's bridge is located has recently gone to the north shore and has washed out all the earth at the abutment of the bridge, preventing trains from crossing. A stub was run from Uuion to this city todiy on the regular time for train No. J) and re main here until 4 o'clcc'c,returning on the regular time of No. 10, connecting with the Omaha train which wiil run via Weepiner Water. This will be done until tne bridge is repaired. It is not thought that anymore serious damage will result and the work of repairing will be started as soon as the pile driver and the workmen can be brought from Atchison. Superintendent of Motive Power D. Hawkbworth and Master Mechanic Helps have gone to Ott'irawa, la., to attend the funeral of the "Q" mister mechanic at that place. The personally conducted Pullmtin Golden Gate special train returning from the coast passed through the ci y at 5:30 last evening, making a short stop. This is the train which was ex hibited at the exposition last fall and admired by 60 many people. This is said to bo the finest railroad equ c ment in actual service in this or any other country, the amount invested being more than $150,000. The tram consists of one baggage car, the com posite car "Atlantic." tho diner, "America," the compartment cars, "Chili" and "Ferdinand," tho sleep ers "China." and "Uepjb!ic" -i-d th--'j'M.ii.'rv''t;i,n ca ' P i-.-'il-;.5' T ; : 1. r- :: v ;" : : . - 5 x t 1 : - : i " v. ;.. 1 i'i Ol 1 : " , !'. ... i. rh i ' i : C.l-l! i T.

No testimony will be taken at the the first meeting, but a date will be chosen at which time the hearing of the case will come on This com mittee is to hear the testimony, deter mine law and facts, and report the same to the court for its final decision. Consequently they are not going to be in any rush about the matter. Ne braska City Press. Roll of Honor. Rock Bluff school district No. 5.

They are built solidly Into the branches, and plainly furnished with deal tables, straw-seated chairs, and coare, clean napery. The visitors ascend by a flight of rustic steps, and the food is hauled up in wicker baskets by a stout cord and pulley. There is a waiter beiow, a waiter above and. considering the distance the viands have to travel be fore they appear on the table they are served tolerably hot. "There were" said a gentleman who recently dined there, "three stories or platforms on the tree on which my party dined. We occupied the middle one, while the pa vilion above us was in the possession of a group of vocalists. Every one was in high spirits, and the dinner In a tree proved a great success." Disinfection of Streets.
