The city election piis ed oil'very quietly. There was n light registration and still lighter vote. In the Hrst and Second wiirds the voters had nothing to do butte to vote for the only candidate for aider- man at large , Mr. Lucius Wells , who was the unanimous choice of both political parties. In the other two wards there was a little more feeling , as each hau an iilderinan to elect. The preliminary work of election has been remarkably free from dirt , there not being any public mud throwing. Tliu election Itself was also quietly , good naturedly carried on. Doth parties seem to reali/.e that it is useless to try to get good men to accept nominations forpcttyloc.il olliees , if they arc to be dragged through the mini to get theru. The resultof the voting ing yesterday was of course to elect Lu- e.us Wells as alderman at large , and thn ( iitl/ciis feel that although it is no little honor to anyone to be so unanimously forced into ollice , yet it is a cause of pub- lie congratulatiiin that such u man will accept thu position. In the Third ward Pat Lacy worked xcalously and was elected by a small ma jority over Chris Straub , the present al derman and u man who ought to bo re- elected. Air. Lacy is , however , on the improvement side and will energetically pu-h forward all enterprises helpful to the growth of the city. In the Fourth \vard a wise choice is made iu the olei'tion of Mr. George Mot- calf. Like Mr. Wells , ho was the pee ple's choice , us well as the choice of the republicans , and although with a strong democratic majority to face , ho was elected , though by a Miiall majority.

The City Fathers. At the meeting of the city council last evening n remonstrance was presented by Colonel luilym behalf of citi/.ens who object to certain features ot the ordi nance granting J. P. Gouldon the right of way for a dirt-hauling railway. Among the objections was that the ordinance jives the right of way over certain streets 'or live years. It was urged that they should not occupy any street longer than was necessary to do the filling. There were other clauses which were obnoxious. The ordinance was referred to the judi ciary committee to report amendments so as to do away with the causes of ob jection. The grade of Broadway was then taken up. T. J.Evans potitiomyl to have the grade lixod as follows : Between Twenty- fifth and Twenty-sixth streets , three feet above present grade ; between Twenty- sixth anil Twenty-seventh streets , two feet ; between Twenty-seventh and Twenty- cigiifh streets , one and a half feet ; be tween Twenty-eighth and the river , ono foot above present grade. After some discussion further consideration was postponed until to-day. The council spent the rest of the even ing in parsing upon bills and transacting routine business. Adjournment was taken until 0:30 : this morning , when the council will meet as : committee of the whole to consider tin tramway ordinance , Broad way grade am other matters. Rnconragiuix tiomn The Council Blull's Building , Loan and Savings institution hold its annual meet ing last evening. The association has been in active operation hero for yean and is no longer an experiment. It is i noteworthy fact that not a dollar ha : been lost to investors , and at the sunn time members by borrowing of the asso elation and paying in their monthly due : have bfon enabloJ to own and occupy homes which tnoy could not have go' otherwise in all probability. It enable ! a member to pay his rent into his own pocket. It gives a man a chance tobuih his own house and pay for it in monthly payments. Besides the many advantage ! given members by thus mutually work ing together , it is a grand thing for the city. It Is a mutual asso c.lation , strictly so , with no high- salaried olllcors , and no one-man powei possible. It is of great importance to t citv that as many of its inhabitants a' ' possible own their own homes. Thoj liuvo then a permanent Interest in tin city and its welfare. By the aid ot sue ! an'association tlie.ro is an impetus givoi to building improvements. The coming season there arc a large number who ox ticct to build home.1) ) by this method. I is therefore an enterprise which outrlit U interest every citizen. A little help fron evorycitizen will cause the association U not only boom , but to help the city tt boom. By it there can be many rosl donees put up this season. Those whc invest arc sure of getting good return1 on their money , and those who want tt build homes of their osvn can oasilj do so. In the new clnss which now opens then have been already over MO shares taken and it is the intention to run the mini be up to ft.OOO. This will cause from flKi ( ) to $5,000 a month to bn put into rosl deuces alono. An established eiUcrprisi of this kind should thoiefore bo takei hold of by all , and made to do all in it power to help build up the city. The. annual report of the secretary \\illiam Arm ) , is vury full in all details so that any ono desiring to know ever ; feature of the record ot the institutioi can readily examine for himself. Sonn of the classes have already been paid out Kue.li hharo calls for .1 payment o II a n'onth until the share Is worth tlOQ Of course if the money did not earn any thing , this would take 100 mouths. A the money (4 ( lent out to members bers to build with , the intcros niak.cs the earnings , and this intorcs being paid in monthly installments i also lent out , thus iucrcasinc the earn inj3. The borrower while paying inter est gets n slinru hi the earning * , which reduces - ducos linally thu amount of interest he jmys. Stranco us it mny scnin the record shows thnt wlille any member borrowing really has to pay but about 0 per cent interest , the members simply Investing for savings purposes get 13 pur cunt on their money. Onu now clnss Is started each year. Classes A and B have been closed up. Class C will soon bo. In class 0 each shuro is now worth fOft.07 , while it cost the members only $71. In other words a member in this clas , alter paying f 1 n month for seventy-one months , has paid into the association $71. His money has earned him $32.07 , so that his share is worth in cash $03.07. It will soon bo worth $100 , and ho then lecelvns bis cash. Jn class I ) each share has cost $58 , and Is now worth $73.

The Ito.-iHOMH Why. Whnn strangers and non-residents ask you why Council Uliill's should enjoy a boom just read them the following actual reasons. 1. The near completion of the Union Pacific bridge , giving railroad , horsec ir and wagon connection with Omaha , the cost of which is $2,000,000. 2. The building of the new wagon bridge between Omaha and Council Ulull's , which will cost f.'JOO.OOD ' , and over which will run a cable line of cars , giv ing ranid ana cheat ) transit between the two cities. 3. The building of a new hotel to cost not less than $200,000 , the plans of which are now being drawn. 4. The building of a new union depot , which will cover a space of three blocks and cost $ . )00,000 ) , out of which the nine different trunk lines of railroads will un. un.Q. The paving of Broadway to the river , making a continuous line ot paved street for a distance of seven miles. 6. The building of the Union Pacific shops , which will give employment to 2,500 men when in operation. 7. The building of several live and six htory blocks on Broadway and Main streets , tbe principal one of which is the Merriam block to cost $200,00 , ) . 8. The building and equipment of over seven miles of street unit electric railway , which will traverse the principal busi ness and residence streets of the city and afford convenient and rapid communica tion with Lake .Manawa. 9. The improvc'inont of Lake Manawa costing several thousand dollars , which will make that place a most popular re sort for boat racing , boating , etc. 10. The building of a $15,000 summer hotel at Lake Manawa. 11. The building of a new city hall which will cost not loss than $75,000. 13. The completion of the now govern ment po&tollice which will cost $250,000 when completed. 13. The building of the now county court house now in process of erection , and to cost $10r5,000. 14. The building of not less than fiOC residences during the present season , over 100 of which are already contracted for. for.The above , which aio only a few of the actual reasons that could bo enumerated , lire sufficient , together with the naturaj advantages and facilities Council B lull's oilers as a manufacturing and jobbing center are enough to convince the mosl skeptical that property in Council B lull's at its present low prices is a prolitablc and safe investment.
