(Saturday's Daih ) Four new ordinance were intro duced at th? council meeting last night and read for the rt time. One provides that saloon licensee shall be raised from 500 to 1,000. Another raises the occupation tax on retail liquor dealers from 250 to $500. If both these shonld be passed it would cost the saloon keepers of Colambns just twice as much as they pay the city now. -It is said, however, that the total increase contemplated by the council is not 750 but $500, and that it is not the intention to pass both ordin ances. Either the occupation tax will not be increased or the license will be raised only $250. The occupation tax goes into the city treasury and the license money to the school fund. There seems to be no doubt that the increase will go through, as four memlers of the council are in favor of it. A motion by Councilman Grei sen to make the license 750 instead of 1000 was defeated by a vote of 4 to 2. The other ordinances introduced re late to salaries of city officers and bonds to be given by them- The mayor's salary is increased from $50 to 100 per rear. Th members of the council are to get 50 a year in stead of $25. The city treasurer's sal ary is raised $50, making it $200, and the city attorney i6 also raised to$200. The monthly pay of the chief of police is reduoed from $70 to 60. and policemen are. cut down from 05 a month to 55. Other salaries are not changed. In the matter of bonds required, ths bond of the city treasurer is fixed at 25,000. The old ordinance required only s,000, ana up to last year Treas urer Galley has given bond for $10, 000. Last year the council expressed themselves in favor of a 20,000 bond, but the matter was not enacted into an ordinance. However, Mr. Galley voluntarily gave a bond for 20,000 last year, although not required to do so. The new ordinance raises this 5,000 more. It is safe to ray that the proposed increase in license fee will be opposed by the saloon men, and if it goes through and is not repealed by the new council it will no doubt operate to reduce the number of saloons in the city. There are now thirteen but this unlucky number is soon to be broken by the starting of another in the building formerly occupied by the Black Flag store on 13th street. The new saloon, unless plans should be changed by the action f the council, will be opened by M. Vogel and Tony Moschenross. 2The council meeting, aside from the new ordinances, was devoted to re port and routine matters. The public square known as Hanover Square, in the north part of town, was let to R. W. Young for another year at the same rental. $5 00 per year. The council adjourned to meet again Mon day night, when it is understood the new ordinances will be put on third reading and passed. St Patrick Celebration. (Saturday's Daily) The annual celebration of St. Pat rick's day by the Ancient Order of Hibernians was held last night at the K. P. hall, which was filled to over flowing. The members of the order with their families and a few invited guests mademerry until a lato hour with a program of vocal and instru mental mnsic.recitatious and speeches, and a bountiful supper which was ser ved by the ladies. After the program the young people indulged in an informal dance. It was one of the most enjoyable and best attended celebrations that the order has ever bad in Columbus. Carrier Applicants Examined iSatardaj'e Daily i The examination of candidates for city carrier was held today at the Commercial College, condncted by P. M.

Two complete party tickets were placed in nomination Saturday uicht for the citv offices. The candidates are as follows : REPUBLICAN. Mavor R- y- Dickinson Treasurer David Newman Clerk Councilman 1st ward. Councilman 2nd ward Councilman o..l ward ..J. R. Brock . J. 15. Nichols J. H. Galley C. O. Sehldon DEMOCRATIC W. N. Houslev G. B. Speice Wm. Becker Mayor Treasurer Clerk ... . Councilman 1st ward Councilman 2nd ward Councilman 3rn ward Jacob Greisen S- J.Rvan C. F. Gleason As was expected, Mayor Boettcher was uncermcniously turned down by the democrats and hi6 administration repudiated for no other reason appar ently than t!ar h:s voto on the city printing la.-: vtnr had given otTense to the Uolnmbas Telegram, the patron saint and dictator of Platte county democracy. Tho cinsuul spectacle was witnessed of a icpublican conven tion willing and anxious to endorse and nomiuato a democratic mnvor.and a democratic convention ri.itlv igncrmg the demands of tho best element of their party, the backing of the Ger man element, a perfectly blameless administration ignoring in fact every consideration of decent government and political good sen.-e, and repud iating their own candidate in the face of auriver-al enuorseirut uf him by citizens ol all classes and all parties. The story cf the republican conven tion is one of harmony, good feeling and a nonpartisan spirit. The con vention was called to order at So'clock and C. II. Sheldon was chosen chair man and D. M. Nowman secretary After the reading of the call fur the convention, a motion was passed authorizing the chairman to appoint a committee of three to wait upon the democratic convention with a propo sition to eliminate partisanship and agree on a citizens' ticket to be supported by all parties, with the sole view of good city government. The chair appointed on this committee I. Gluck, Howard Clarke and P. J. Barron.une from each ward. The con vention took a recess pending the re port of the committee. When tne committee stated its mission to the democratic convention, the chairman informed them thar a similar resolu tion bad been offered in their conven tion and bad been rejected, and they had alreadv nroceeded to nominate a fnll party ticket. When the republican committee re ported this fact to the convention, a proposition was mide to mininafe August Boettcher as the candidate'of the republicans, but this was not vot ed on as it was stated thar Mr. Boett cher had said ho would not accept a nomination unless he was endorsed by his own party R.S.Dickinson was then nominated by acclamation a the republican candidate for miyor and he accepted with the understand ing that he would be allowed to with draw if Boettcher could be induced to run. For treasurer D. M. Ncrawan was unanimously named, as likewise wa J. R. Brock for clerk. A committee again uallt-d on the democrat.- and being informed that they were willing to follow tht nsnr-1 custom of allowing each partv to name one candidate for school board, re ported this to the convention and Carl Kramer was nominated as th" repub lican member. J. u. Stires was inr n tioned, bur he withdrew ot the ground that he will have no children in school. Mr. Kramer was th-r. unanimously nomisated. The delegates from the ttrvoral wards presented their candidate? for the council and the same were ratiHed by the convention as follows: First ward, J S Nichols; second war', .! H Galley; third ward, C C Sheldon; The following were named as mt m bers of the city central committee: First ward. O C Shannon ; second, E P Dcssell; third, W W 7a::rs; chairman, E H Chambers. Before adjourning, the following resolution was offered by S. C. Grav : "Resolved, by the reonblicaus of j the city of Columbus, that it is tht sense of this convention that vrv un qualifiedly commend the admini.-tra- tion or Ji&yor August uottcner ; ana Resolved, that Mayor B-. ttcher, on his record for honesty, ir.tt'vrity and elKciency in ofnee. was fullv entitled to a renominatioc, and would have been t.nninlr orrfnrttH rr tliic Mnrsntinn - " - " had he received the endorsement o that perfection of fnecdrhin which his own party. But on account of his would be ixradise indeed. "Incapable daring to place the interest of the city of friendship" woald be as great con above the interest of his party organ , demnation a coal.! i3 spoken r,f any- he was turned down by his own party; hence we have placed in nomination .'for Mayor a man whose undoubted ""'nonestr. integrity and proved ability will recommend him to all honest citizens who prefer honesty in city affairs to the rule of a ring of old time grafters." Mr. Gray addressed the convention on the resonltion, commending in the highest terms the rersonal character and official record Mayor Boettcher, pointing out that the mayor had apparently pleased every citizen in Columbus but one man; and that the democratic subservience to the One i about wrong that can never be right Man power was the only reason for I ed. Your consort or friend must be the gratuitous insult offered to the Mayor br his own party. Tbe resolution was unanimously and enthusiastically adopted by tbe con- veution. nnd iir.

However, it was thought then that Mr. Boettcher would net consent to such an arrangement, so Mr. Dick inson was urged to accept tho nomi nation. Mr. Boettcher, Mr. Dickinson and several o the leading members of both parties met Monday afternoon and consir:rpd thn advisability of permitting Mr. Dickinson to withdraw from tl.n ticket in lavr of Mr. Boettcher.
