llev. Father Haley has been secured to

d.'iy. The Neola people may rest assured
that they will havu an address well worthy
of a large audience , and a careful hear

than ordinary ability.
"Arizona Jack , " as ho Is known ,
though his right name is John Dickinson ,
was hi the HlnlVs Saturday. He is on a
leave of absence , having been kept busy
as chief scout for General Crook in Ari
zona. lie leaves to-morrow to report to
( icncral Popu , and expects to bo sent
into the Indian territory.
An excellent concert anil sociable \vns
had at the Union chapel on last Friday
night by the Harmony Mission Sunday
school scholars. After the songs and dia
logues by the children , in which the
crowd seemed highly delighted , the people
ple were treated to a bountiful supply of
cakes and apples furnished by Mrs. Moo-
maw and Mrs. IJnrgcss.
Some time ago William Soars , the at
torney , began suit in a justice court ,
against h.v. \ . Tnllcys and others to se
cure fees claimed to have been earned by
him in prosecuting the first injunction
unit brought against the saloons. Judg
ment was given him , but an appeal taken ,
and Saturdiiy the circuit court gave him
a judgment of ? SO.
Harry Birkinbino declines to run for
cit.v engineer. This leaves Thomas Tos-
levin a good chance to run in. He is an
engineer who is thoroughly competent ,
has proved himself so during his long
residence hero , and those who have fan
cied nt least that there have been so
many causes for complaint since lie has
ucciX r tiri'il from ollice , will see to it
that he is. reinstated.
G. S. Lawson having withdrawn from
Ibo race for alderman at largo , the choice
is lOltas between Josiah Daiifurth and Ed.
Mott.Th's ' will undoubtedly elect. Dan-
furtli. Jlotl lias many good qualifica
tions for the olliee , Sl > far as busines in
tegrity nnd ability is eonesrucd , but his
record as a member of the board of edu
cation , his strange bitterness against
both saloons and Sunday schools , will
count against him on all sides.
, / J > . S. Keller is showing up a good deal
of strength as an aldermanie candidate.
He is a business man in whom all have
the utmost confidence , and has proved
himself also to bo worthily trusted with
the people's interests. If the council
never fins \yr.so man in it than Keller
Council Blurt's \vonhl soon be in a healthy
financial condition , and without any slop
ping of needed improvements either.
It has been reported on the streets that
A. T. Klwell is not a candidate for city
treasurer. Ho lias not withdrawn , but is
still in the field , and will receive u hearty
support of republicans as well as demo
crats. He has not been seeking ofliec ,
and perhaps there is where the report of
his withdrawal starts from. This year ,
however , the people are seeking men ,
nnd as he is one through and through , he
stands an excellent show of being elected.
Capt. Hight ought lo receive a hand
some and enthusiastic support for judge
of the superior court. He > s a man who
has lived hero so long that it is almost
needless to say that no one can breathe n
Word against his honor and integrity.
Ho is a close .student , a man of excellent
ability , and if elected would make a
judge in whom all could trust. The su
perior court is one of the best positions
in the gift of the people to-day , and as
the present judge has sat easy on the lux
urious cushion lor four years , it seems no
more than fair that he should nivo way
to one equally us worthy , and who in some
respects might remedy some of the causes
of complaint.
Sunday was given up largely to politics.
Vanghan had carriages going hither and
thither , and was issuing extras pulling up
his many qualifications for mayor , nnd
throwing mud nt others. The Glebe
came out In an extra in the interests of
Percival and the democracy , and poking
fun at Vaiiglmn with cartoons ami
Blingcrs. The saloon men had a meeting
to see if they could not unite unanimously ,
about one-third of them being for
Vanghan and the others for Pereiv.al.
Vaughan arranged for a meeting in
the evening in the skating rink , and
altogether it was a Sunday of political
activity.
There are among those who are sup
porting Colonel Chapman for mayor a
number of men who nave ample means
mill influence to make ( lie city boom , if
they show the same enthusiasm after ho
is elected as they do before. These men
express the determination that if Chap
man is the mayor they will join with him
in semiring some greatly needed improve
ments for I ho city. There may ben slip ,
tlio improvements may not como , but the
word of these men would readily bo ac
cepted in other matters and at another
time , and t hey certainly have the power
to mnko the promlsci good , Neither of
the other candidates claim to have such
big things in store tor Council Minus.
Tlio people who want to see the city grow
will therefore put into the mayor's chair
the man who is conceded to be in the bust
shape to help the city. Colonel Chap
man is a man who will rep-esent the city
well away from home as well as at home.
With him for mayor there will be no
clownishness or disgraceful bullboncry
for the city to blush over.

Sunday Civcn lip to 1'olltlcs Tlic I'o-
llco ( Jet Some Game Xotcs From
Ncola Points on tlio
Park Levy.
Points About the Parks.
"How about the parks ? " asked a BEE
man of Commissioner Graham yesterday.
' 'The parks ? What do you want to
know about thorn ? I'm ready to give
any information that the public wants ,
that 1 can give. "
"There's been a good deal of talk
about the proposed levy , to bo voted on
at the coming election. Have the com
missioners any showing of what has been
done , or what is lo be done , so that thu
voters can know just how matters
stand ? "
"All I can give is just the facts as they
ftnml. You know wo commissioners , J.
,1. lirown , Thomas Ollicer and myself ,
wore chosen about a year ago. A levy of
one mill was made. That amounted to
about $8,000. Of course , there was no
cash , the taxes not beginning to como in
until now , so that we have had to plan
on running the parks really two years on
this amount. As it was we had to antici
pate tlio tax , aim had to arrange per
sonally for the necessary money until the
taxes should bo paid In.Ve have expended -
ponded about $1,1)00 ) so far. "
"What has ibis money gone for ? "
"Why , just to keep the parks up. You
sec the parks are now taken right out of
the hands of the city , anil all the ex
penses have to bo paid from tills levy.
Park'policemen , keeping up roads mid
walks , trimming and all thnl sort of
work , so as to keep the parks in shape
for the people to enjoy them. It does
net leave much money for any great im
provements. There are lots of such im
provements which are needed , thorgh. "
"There has been some talk about money
being spout on narks outside of the city.
How much has been thus spent ? "
"Nonsense. There has not been enough
spent to speak of. There has been paid
out in all for surveying the lines , so that
the citv could protect its property , about
SoO. These outside parks cost the city
nothing. They wore given to the city by
the general government , and it docs not
cost the city anything to own them. Some
day they may bo of value , but it doesn't
cost anythiiigto hold them until the city
gets ready to use them. AVe have run
lines so as to know just what the city
owns , anil thus be able to protect the
property. There is some valuable tim
ber , and up to Lake View there are over
forty acres of gravel , enough to fill up
all the streets , it' the city wants to use it
for that The city can nllord to own
such property , as it didn't cost a cent ,
and docsnot'eost a cent to hold. There
is no money to speak of being spent on
parks. That park has been owned by
110 Cly ! f ° ! ' i'V" ' yjlll' ? , I"11' ' there has been
no money spent tiiere. 'ho ' parks iaio : :
of _ iho city need all tlio money that is
raised now. "
"If the low asked for is voted , what
will it be usoil for ? "
"There are enough uses for it. There
ire a good many tiiings'which arc need
ed. Of course you have got to keen up
tlio parks in shape. The running ex
penses take a big part out of such a
small amount , bntthorc are urgent needs
whichoucirtto.be met besides. Bayliss
park , for instance , needs to bo filled up
so that there will not be mud puddles ,
mil so that people can got the good of it.
J'here ought to bq now walks ; there
ought , to be a fountain , too. That park is
visited by hundreds and thousands of the
people , and they ought to have suitable
accommodations and the park made a
suitable resort for them. Then Fair-
mount park ought to have some now approaches
preaches to it so that people could get to
it easier. It ought to have drinking foun
tains also. There is plenty that is'iieoded ,
besides keeping up the roads , walks ,
etc. "
Commissioner Brown , who corrobor
ated the statements made by Mr. Gra
ham , remarked , "Why , what is $ : } , r)0 ( ) for
Council lilutl's to spend on parks ? Omaha
was given llnnseom park on condition
that the city should spend at least $0,000
a year on it. Omaha has only forty
acres and Council UluIVs has over a hun
dred acres. I mean in the city parks , not
consiilering at all the parks owned by
the city outside. If Omaha had such
parks as Council BluM's has , she would
K-Jcnd ten times that on them. "
There have been some statements made
public lately to the cllect that the shoot
ing club was anxious for money to bo
spent in improving Carr's lake as their
grounds were there , and that the park
levy would just bo used for making n
hunting ground for these sportsmen. It
seems sullicicutly plain that the commis
sioners with tlio proposed levy will not
have more than is needed for keeping up
tlio city parks nnd making needed im
provements in them. It is also plain that
it is not Hie purpose or desire of the com
missioners to spend money on those out
side parks , until the city gnts ready to
use them for its cilixens , and in accord
ance with the public demand. Further
than that the fact is that the shooting
club has grounds , all it wants , and in
stead of these grounds being the ones
held by the city at Carr's lake for park
inn-poses , thcso shooting grounds' are
tour miles from Carr's lake , and in Mills
county , and are owned and controlled by
the elul ) . There is no reason for confus
ing these facts , so as to give the impres
sion that the shooting club wants a oont
of this fund. It doesn't want a nickle ,
and could not get a nickle , even if the
fund was twice as large , it is also a well
known fact that a shooting club would
have no rights on city park grounds , it
being pnhfie ground , to which one eitix.en
has as i.iuch and no more right than an
other.
These parks are of more importation to
the working people mid the poororclas.ses
than to the wealthier classes , The rich
can have lawns and pleasure resorts of
their own. They have time mid money
to vWt the Yellowstone and other famous
parks. They are not therefore as entliu-
aiastio oftentimes for the maintenance
and beautifying of these city parks as are
some of those who have not ho much
means or property. The levy asked foi
ls a small one. it should be larger to
enable the commissioners to do what is
really needed. A man who has a $1.000
home would have to pay-III cents a year
for parks at this rate. Not a very heavy
drain. If the other forms of taxation
were as light and the funds as econom
ically handled , there would bo less of n
groan about the bunion of taxation. The
people will have to rest content with
mndholcs in Kayliss park , witli unkempt
foliage and grass , with gullies for roads
to Falrmount park , and will hnvo to sou
the expenditures of tlio past go to waste
by the wear and tear and the notion of
tlio elements. The people will hardly
olow | such an emergency to arise when
so small a tax will help maintain such
pleasant features of the city.
So many such rumors and reports are
being circulated that it seems as if there
must bo some parties who are very nnx
ions to tlofcnt the proposed tnx levy.
There are some who. are so well able to
travel , or to.drive in thole carriages ; or to
beautify their-.own homes , that they do
not need to viiit city parks for rest or
recreation. Perhaps homo of these hav-
'iilg heavy taws to pay do not care to pay
any additional taxes fur the public parks ,
which are open to poor aa well as rich.
If they could get the working classes ( o
believe that it was a needless burden , or
that . omo shooting club would got nil the
bcnelit , or that the money would bo
spent on parks way out of town , the levy
might bo defeated , nnd they might bo re
lieved from paying a tax : to maintain
such pleasant resorts which the working
classes especially need. A man who can
drive where ho wills Is not PO anxious
that there should bo dry walking through
Bayliss park as the man who is weary
with a hard day's work and wants to
take advantage of the slioit cut home
ward. On any pleasant Sunday look
over the crowds who gather in Bayliss
park and see how many of them como
from homes which can nll'ord no exten
sive huyns and sparkling fountains. The
workinftincn should not bo too quick to
catch up rumoM started for the purpose
of getting thorn to vote against their own
interests and to blind them against the
sly schemes of tlioso who want to save
themselves a few dollars. They should
think over thcso matters for themselves.

Social Clilt-Clmt.
On Saturday evening tlio Married
Ladies Progressive Eucliro club was hos
pitably entertained by Mrs. McDowell
and Mrs. Klwoll. Twelve tables were oo-
pied by to the party , and after an enjoya
ble evening having been passed Mrs. 11.
U. Cory was awarded the ladles' prize.
Messrs. Tvler Maeconncll and Smith
having tied , Mr. M.E. Smith won tlio
play-on" and was given the gentlemen's
prlxc.
On Thursday evening Miss Hattie
Beggs was given a pleasant surprise by
her trie nils , the occasion being her birth
day. -
Mrs. Horace Everett will this evening
entertain a company of her friends nt a
0 o'clock tea at her residence on Second
avenue and Eighth street. The gathering
will bo in honor of Mtvi. C. II. Darby , her
daughter. Miss Jcanctto Hawks of St.
Joe , anil Miss Maguio Uiehardson of Lex
ington , Mo. It will doubtless he one of
the most elegant all'airs of the boclnl sea
son. The evening will bo parsed in cards.
Miss Itallo Robinson of this city gave a
piano recital on Saturday evening at the
homo of Miss Poppleton , in Omaha.
No doubt the readers of the BIE : all
know what the hymonomcter is , its pre
dictions having been chronicled on the
pages of this paper devoted lo Omaha
society for some time past , consequently
a description of lids wonderful invention
becomes unnecccssar.y. Sutlice to say
that the wonderful instrument was on
Saturday last brought from the Omaha
ollici ! of the BKK to the ollleo of the Jowa
department of this paper to see how it
would work on strange ground ;
Tlio "little wonder , " as it might very
properly bo termed , as soon as it was
placed on the desk in the Council Binds
ollice began to out capers , which the gen
tleman in charge explained by saying
the instrument had more work than it
could attend to ; that this city must bo
inii or aspirant : * matrimonial honors.
Finally the l\v.o hatiits began If ) become ,
steadier in their motions and shortly
rested on the names of a brunette gentle
man , who is in the employ of one of the
railroad freiglit olliccs in the southern
part of this city , and a blonde young lady
on ( ilcn avenue , who is already purchas-
ins her trousseau.
From them the hands jump with a
quick movement only lo stop in an in
stant before the namoof a lady instructor
in the Pierce street school and a male in
structor in an institution not outside tiie
citv limits ,
The names next reached , on the dial ,
by the ever industrious hands make it ap
pear that a petite lady clerk in a millin
ery store on Broadway is still betrothed
to a gentleman in one of the City Mills.
Only for an instant ilo the hands re
main on one couple , evidently having
more business than the frail hands can
perform to its own satisfaction , and as
they increase their speed the names of an
architect in Omaha ami a young lady
clerk in the People's store become Jinked
in sweet conjunction , as docs also a male
clerk in the clothing depart
mcnt of this same store , and
his alliance , who resides not far
from Mynster" street , while the namoof
his colleague , who is somewhat less in
stature , is pronounced smitten with the
charms of a lady , late clerk in the same
store. A steward of a Lincoln hotel the
hymonomcter pronounces as having the
date arranged by which he will lead to
the matrimonial altar a lady clerk in this
same store.
A cattle king of diminutive stature is
next outlined by the bands , in connection
with which appears the name of a daugh
ter of a prominent real estate broker.
The inlluenco of the magnetism of a
merchant in art draws the hands oppo
site his name , which plainly appears ,
while the other name is that of a Mill
street lady who , during the heated term ,
always has plenty of crystalized water nt
her disposal.
The amount of labor seemingly being
greater than that performed for some
time , and the nervousness necessarily
caused by being among strangers , and
having been pushed to its utmost capacity
during its short stay , the hymenometcr ,
after indicating the drawing nigh of the
wedding day ot a gentleman in the imple
ment business 0:1 : lower Main street , and
Ids fiance , a pretty blonde in a Broad
way millinery establishment , was put
away. _

Tlie Hamlnll Mystery.
There seems to bo about as much mys
tery as over in the case of W. C. Randall ,
the superintendent of agencies for the
Equitable Homo Life Insurance company.
The telegram announcing his death in St ,
Louis Was signed "Davis. " As there had
been received before that a telegram
from Mr. Randall saying lie was feeling
better nnd would start for homo , this an
nouncement of his deatli seemed curious ,
Inquiry WAS matin by wire as to who
Davis was , but the only reply obtained
was the simple time of filing the dis
patches. Saturday another telegram
came , purporting to be from Mr. Randall ,
saying ho would bo homo Sunday. Ho
did not arrive on yesterday's \Vabash
train as expected , and no other word
camo. Thu secretary of the company ,
( Jeorgo W. Harbin , of Waterloo , was tU
the Ogden yesterday. Ho could throw
no light upon the nil air , Mrs. Dr. Hil
ton , who has attended him. is inclined to
the theory that ho is delirious , having
been sullering from typhoid malaria , and
that he does not know exactly what ho is
telegraphing. It. is thought ho must have
had some Mich sinking spell as he had at
Bochtclo's hotel hero last week , and that
someone thinking ho was dead tele
graphed the fact , It seems largely guess
work , however , and thu friends are
awciting anxiously now developments.
