If any .member of the last so slon was con- fronton by tlio query "What are we hero for ? " ho would not hr.vo to bcarclv the atars to read the answer. These figures state with the greatest eloquence that the members were present to make appro- priationY In round numbers the in- cresao in the appropriations made by the last session of the legislature exceeds by over § 1,000,000 , the amount appropriated by the preceding legislature.

Of the company which opensnoAt Monday , to-morrow , at the People's thea ter , the Lincoln Journal said : Among the many cntei'tainmonts for amusing the public a comic concert is certainly out of the usual line. There fore , the amount of fun the Swiss Hell Ringers succeed in furnishing is perhaps a just criterion to judge of their claims to recognition. While , judged by this standard tfiey are worthy ot high com mendation , it should be remembered that they also furnish a musical entertain ment of superior excellence. i HAO BAIIV "A Rag Baby" with Mr. Frank Dan- lela and all the original company will re turn to Boyd's on Saturday next , April 30 for one night only. The popular farce comedy is too well known to all onr amusement going people to need any extended - tended notice. At its Jut appearance hero it was greeted with packed houses. A Trip to Europe. Miss Minnie J. Wood of tbi.s city has arranged two excellent vacation tours in Europe , each commencing on the 2nd of next July , which will doubtless bo appre ciated by people who desire to go abroad , with bnt reasonable expenditure of time and money. The Iir.st is a trip to Liver pool , Stratford-on-Avon , London and Paris , including first class travel , hotel accommodations , carriages , fees and all necessary expanses , occupying thirty-live days and costing $340. The second comprises a visit to Eng- and , Belgium , Germany , the Rhine , Switzerland , France , under tlio circum stances specified , occupying sixty days and costing $400. At all the points men tioned sufficient time will be afforded tourists to visit every sc no or structure of note and interest , ami on all visits the party will bo accompanied by competent interpreters. For bach of these tours , it s understood , a number of Omaha people have already signed , and a most agree able tritt to the other world may certainly bo expected. Miss Wood may bo ad dressed or consulted at 1113 N. 18th st. The Maytio Hnt. Nine of the gentlemen who arc con nected with C. E. Mayno's real estate company surprised him last evening by walking in , "Inpun file , " as George . Jones of Wyoming pronounces it , and politely saluting him with high still' hats of exactly the same shape and alylc. Mayno was non plusscd for a minute and then went down to Frederick's , whore he learned the tiles were obtained , and was soon ornamented with oao himself. Tlie incident and thn bat are tlio outcome of a joking remark made by two of the Mayne household who went Into Frederick's after head gear. They were Jones and Harry Potter. Frederick tried to soil them white "keg" hats , and they rejoined that if ho would get a C. E. Mayno hat of the same style , they would take a do/con. Frederick wasn't to be bluffed , so ho ordered them. When they came , the boys were notilied and had to take their hats and their medicine. The name and the style of the hat are both taking , and Frederick has had so many inquiries during the last two or three days that ho has sent for a number. The Mayno hat promises to become a fixture. Police Court News. O. II. Rothacjker , the thug charged with assault with intent to kill , will be ar raigned before Judge Stcnberc on Tues day.

Mr. Rreckcnridgc said that as here was more before this convention ban before any previous city convention believed the proper thing was to pro ceed at once to business. John Clark moved that a committee of liree on credentials be appointed , nnd hat the committee recoirni/o no proxies sxcept those held by persons residing in ho wards from which the proxies cainc. Several amendments to this motion were interposed , and the last ono , mak ing the membership of the committee nine , was adopted. The original motion .lieu carried unanimously. A motion ay Mr. Lindsay , that no person bo al- 'owed to hold moro than ono proxy , was iKo adopted. The following committee on creclon- .ials was appointed : Messrs. Clark , Ks- : elle , Morrison , Maul , Redman , Kamuicr , Sholcs , MoConnoll and Needham. During the fifteen minutes recess , which was taken to enable the commit- : eo to examine tlio credentials of elected delegates and the proxies , the council chamber was a busy scene of caucusing. S'o little excitement prevailed and above the loud hum of voices the two names which were attracting moU attention wore heard Broatch and Strung. The committee on credentials returned nnd presented a report showing that fifty- live delegates were present as having been elected and also eight represented by proxies , as follows. FIltST WAltD.

Mr. Buticr moved that the convention proccod to the nomination of a candidate tor mayor , whcrouuon some enthusiastic democrat in the rear of the over crowded hall , shouted , " $30 to Slff that Broatch don't get there. " The bet was either Im mediately taken or the noisy individual was hustled out of the room , because nothing further was heard from him. The tirst ballot , an informal one , re sulted in presenting the names of J. W. Broatch , E. Strang anil C. A. Fried. The ballot was declared to be irregular on the ground that there were moro votes cast than there wore delegates , and the sumo was true of the succeeding ballot when 05 votes were oast. On the first ballot the Ninth , Fifth nnd Second wards voted solidly for Broatch and his total vote was 'M. The Eight ward voted as an unit for Strang and his total vote was 21. After the second ballot was declared the chairman announced that it was void owing 16 there being 05 votes for 03 dole- gates. Thereupon n scene of great ex citement ensued. Mr. Clark declared it an outrage that slxty-threo men could not vote without someone stuffing the box. P , O. Hawcs said thr.t twice had Mr. Broatcli been declared the choice of the convention by a majority vote a'nd ho moved that ho bo nominated by acclamation. ( Applause and counter manifestations. ) The chair's decision to take another ballot was finally sustained and the vote resulted : Boactli 43 , Strang 21. Mr. Boatuh was made the unanimous nominee ot the convention. Messrs. Morrow , Clark nnd Moonj were appointed as a committee to wait upon Mr. Boatch , and brought him for ward amid a furore of applause . He said : Mr. Chairman nnd Gentlemen of the Con vention : I need hardly say that I feel very thankful to you for this nomination. 1 con sider It. coininif as It does from the repub lican party of this city , equivalent to an elec tion , uud if elected you can depend upon mo conducting my share of the city pivcrnment upon the siuuo business principles upon which 1 manage my own affairs.

Over the nomination of police judge a lively but entirely good natured con test arose. The names presented were D. II. Mercer , Louis Bevka , Leo Holies- ley. and D. B. llauck. On the informal ballot Mercer obtained 8 votes , Berka 23 , Hclleslcy 21 , Hauk 10. The formal bal lot brought out 10 for Mercer , 3.1 for Berka , 18 lor Hellosley , and 1 for llauck.

Mercer , one of the defeated candidate ? , was then called upon and in a minutes speech clue- titled the convention. Ho said : I cer tainly feel proud of the testimonial I have received this afternoon. You have acted widely. You have nominated : i man whom 1 can earnestly support. You have added mngniliecnt strength to the ticket which , 1 trust , will receive u magnUicicut majority. COtlNClLMEX AT 1.AIIUK. Upon the nominaiious of councilmen at largo there were but three contests. Tlie.se were froTn the First , Fourth aud Eighth wards. In the First war I it was between Mr. Goodman and I. S.

Counsman. Sixth ward Francis E. Bailey. Seventh ward Michael Lee. Eighth wardLeavitt Burnliam. Ninth ward Charles Unitt. All of the nominees made speeches of acceptance. That of Michael Leo was tewo and stirring. Ho said : " 1 have come from a new territory , and before I thank tile convention , I must thank the citizens of the Seventh ward. I am in favor of progressive , intelligent , public improvements. We should build for the future and not for the present. Wo should make improvements for a half million inhabitant * . " TItn CENriiAL rOMMlTTKK. As soon as the ciiair had announced the nomination of Mr. Unitt as couucil- man-at-largo from the Ninth ward , some delegate exclaimed : ' 'Mr. Chairman , I nominate John T. Clarke as chairman of the central committee for the ensuing year. " The nomination was seconded , aud the chair , put the question , which was carried. Thernupon arose some confusion. LcVEstello said that the con vention had ben ( ) 'waiting ' for Mr. Unitt to speak , anduSiiul inot known what was before it when the question was put. Ho nominated Mr. Jurley as chair man of the ' central committee. Finally , throhgh1 the pacific talk of J. S. Ilascall and others , quiet was restored , andafter Mr. Unett had spoken , D. H.
