Tlie fttuto auditor has compllsd the
statement of appropriatlonfl made by the
last session of tlio legislature. This state
ment covers the appropriations of every
kind nnd character and foots up the
princely sum of fJ.TiJ-.SOo.SO. 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. Jn exact
figures the appropriation of tlio present
it fa.TSi.SOO.SG and the exact ligurcs of
the appropriations two years ago were
$1.078 , 700.1 ! ) . In all this astounding in
crease of appropriations there is a study
in political extravagance that will un
doubtedly occupy the attention of a great
many thinking taxpayers. Such nn in
crease in appropriations is undoubtedly
without n parallel in Nebraska or any
other state and the following exhibit

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.

"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.

tral committee.
Ralph Brcckenrldgo was nominated by
ice Estclle as temporary chairman. S.
S. Audi Mocdy was nominated as tem
porary secretary. Both gentlemen were
sleeted and expressed their thanks for the
lonor. 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

.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

The report of the committee was
adopted.
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

conducting my share of the city pivcrnment
upon the siuuo business principles upon

John Groves , John Rush and Mr. Go-
latte were placed in nomination for city
treasurer. The informal ballot resulted :
Groves , 27 : Rush , 27 ; Golattc , 9. The
foiiual ballot resulted : Uiub , 44 ; Groves ,
IU. Mr. Uu-h's nomination was then
made unanimous. Upon being intro
duoed , ho said :
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Republican Convention : This is the fourth

elated the unaiiiipnus choice of the con
vention for tlioollice , of comptroller.
Upon being called upon he said that ho
had been a republican for nineteen years
and never had ho seen so bright a pros
pect for success of the republican ticket.
roi.iCK | JULKJE.
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.
Berka was nominated on the next ballot ,
receiving 32. while Mercer held 18. and
Helleslty la. Mr. Berka's nomination
was made unanimous. Ho briefly
thanked the convention. 1) ) . 11. 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.

confusion. LcVEstello said that the con
