I This morning the Hon. S. M. Chapman en tered his court loaded for game. In the big municipal fight , which has boon Uisquiotinfr the spirits ot the local politicians over since the special election of April ' "J , TUB UKE has already stated W. S. Hamilton cleverly ousted ff. J. Cooper from his sent in the city council , ( Fourth ward ) . Judge Chapman board testimony and speeches pro nnd con Jn the mandamus suit , which followed the refusal of the city council to confer a cortlll- cato of election upon Mr. Cooper. The sub ject innttnr has boon Judicially cogitated during the week , and the result was laid open this morning. Judge Chapman says that the mamlumus proceeding is something that should bo carefully considered before a writ Is issued the court should bo satisfied that there is right In the relater ; that the writ will give him proper relief and at tbo aiiia time not compromise the rights of third partips. In the case at bar W. J. ' Cooper sought to compel tbo respondents , the city council of Lincoln , to give to him a cortlttcato of elec tion to the council from the Fourth ward. The evidence adduced showed that that Xlobort 13. Graham wus contemplating be coming a candidate for the oOlce of mayor of Lincoln ut the general city election , on April 2. Thuro was an anticipation that ho would resign his place us councilman from the Fourth ward , and on this anticipation the re publican electors of the Fourth ward placed lu > relater In nomination to fill the expected racanoy. There was a meeting of the city council on Auril 1 , when Graham tendered his resignation. A oortlon pf the council ob jected to its acceptance , and tbo question was referred to the council's standing com mittee on elections. Thus Graham continued to lioltl his oftlco ho had not resigned , his roftUinutlou had not been accepted , and ho continued to perform tha duties of his olV.co , for the evidence showed him to havu been present ut the meeting of the council on the Oth of April , tuklne part in the proceed ings , when the vote cost at the election of " April a was canvassed , nnd with the oxcoii- tlou of the councilman for the short term from the Fourth ward ( Cooper having been elected to that ofllco Tallowing upon bis re publican nomination ) the parsons securing the majority of the votes for the oftlces to bo llllod nt the election were declared duly elected. Tbo tellers In charge of the can- vans , indeed , had counted and reported the number of votes cast for the relater , Cooper , but no further action wus taken by the board of canvassers. They seemed , indeed , to Imvo considered that there wus no vacancy of the ofllco to which the relater had been elected. The meeting was followed by n mooting on April 8 , when the committee , who had In charge the tendered resignation of Graham ( who , in the meantime , tad been elected mayor of Liu- coin ) reported the subject back to the council. The resignation of Graham was then accepted , und a special election to fill the vancy of councilman for the short term in the Fourth ward , was fixed for the 23d of April. On that day the people had before them us contestant ! W. J. Cooper and \V. 8. Hamilton , the latter receiving a large num ber of the votes cast , and be being sub&o- nuuntly declared by the city council duly elected. Hamilton qualified and Is now per forming the duties and enjoying the rights , privileges and emoluments of the omco. The Judge said tlioso were the facts with which ho had to deal , and out of them arose a ma- tcrial issue between the relater , the respond ents und a third party , \V. S. Hamilton. TUo question was thlt ; Did Gruham'i resigna tion became operative on April 1 or April HI If It came Into ofTcct on April S , then there was no vncnncy in the ofllco ho filled nt the election of April 3 , If the resignation by its acceptance dated from April 8 , then the relater would have no right to bo declared elected nt the election occur ring , or to have a certificate ) of election do- llvercd to him , und , in addition to this , there is the serious question , which becomes an issue between the relater and W. S. Hamil ton. as to whether the Lincoln city council hud authority to order the special election of April 'J2. Ho had it before him in evidence that there Is pending iu the court a proceed ing In the nature of a quo warrunto , in which the relater seeks to have Hamilton ousted from his omco as councilman and that ofllco vested in him. The weight of authoriy in the country Is in iavor in cases like this of quo warranto proceedings rather than man damus. Under the quo warranto action , the rights of the relater and of his adversary can bo fully settled , whereas if a writ \vero now issued it would only compel the re spondents to perform the ministerial duty of giving a certificate of election to the relater , to which the court was not quite clear that ho is entitled. Tha substantial richt of Ham ilton , If any ho had. would not bo tested , but these rights might bo compromised , provided that UDOII the trial of the quo-warrauto It should bo found that ho is entitled to the seat. Further , the certificate of election is not necessary to the rolutor , to maintain his action * of quo-warranto ; and in well con sidered cases It has been held when , in doubtful cases , a certificate han boon Issued , mandamus will not llo to compel the Issuance of a second certificate , especially when such Issuance would merely shift the burden of proof , or would render substantial aid or final relief. The Judge referred to Magee vs Supervisors , 10 Gal. , 37(5 ( ; Sherburn vs Horn , 45 Mich. , 160 , and People vs Cove , 5 111. , 100 , and said that in his opinion the case at bar made a stranger case for the refusal of the writ of mandamus than the cases cited. In this case an action by quo-war ranto would afford n speedy and complete relief to the relater , and thorn would bo no prejudice to the third party. The court had not iu this matter doomed it necessary finally to dcoldo. As to the legality of the elections of April 3 and April 23 , which matter would bo best tested at the hearing on the quo- warranto. Ho considered It best for the In terest of nil concerned to leave , until tbon , tha parties In their present status ; and for all these reasons the writ of mandamus was refused with costs. Hallronil Initialization. Tbo board of equalization , with the excep tion of the governor , is again at homo. It is learned that the Klkborn system of roads was completely rounded up during the week. Every mile of road , 1,018 In number , was traversed and the property carefully listed. Ono of the members of the board informed TUB Uiu representative to-day that "lots of property was discovered" that the authori ties of the road hud failed to civo In. This , however , will bo considered when the assess ments are made. "Tho road will make noth ing by Its attempt to secret its properly , " pointedly said the member. The board will continue its ride and work on next Thurs day. It is understood that the property of the Chicago , Kansas & Nebraska railroad company will next bo traversrd and In- si > cctcd. The sentiment Is strong hero that the action of the board in seeking to Inspect tbo railroad property of the state Is a wise ono. _ _ _ _ _ IMinrmuonutioal Programme.

BIG CHANCE FOR AN INVENTOR. Immense Wealth llcnllzotl Hy Separa ting ( Jolil from 1..OO8O Ulrt. TUo fortune that awuits the inventor of a successful dry-placor machiuo , or any ' method by which the gold iu the loose dirt on the hills and mountains of Nevada can bo separated , snyB the Virginia ( Jity Enterprise , will make the present wealthy mon of the world have , by comparison , dismal an ticipations of the poor liousp. The ex po runout has often boon tried , and aa often the result has boon only partially successful , often sullluioutly encourag ing to induce continued ollort , hut never so far has a profitable working test boon mado. Owing to the specific gravity of gold , which enables us to collect it by the use of water , wind will probably bo the ohiof ngent of separation. The nu merous contrivances for that purpose now in existence depend more or loss upon the principle by which grain is separated from chaff , and the experi menters have usually directed their at tention to modifications of the form and structure of the familiar winnowing machine. The several methods of utilizing the air have at times bcou combined with amalgamating plates and with a mod erate use of water wluoh is made to do continuous service. The failure iu the sense of profitably working has usually been duo to the relatively small quan tity , of metal saved that is , tno returns have not justified the outlay. There is no question as to the feasi bility of making the weight of particles of gold operate in collecting themselves m a district mass : it is mid always has been only the ratio between value received and value expended tlmt must bo overcome by the successful dry separator. Heretofore the wind has boon supplied by artificial moans and its application has necessarily been limited. Some time the natural motion of the air will bo applied on a largo scale and in such a manner that by a repeated fanning the dry earth may bo blown away from the heavier motal. Great air concentrators will bo devised that can bo operated at an expense merely nominal , and the problem will bo practically solved.Yhon this is no complishod tno wind , which , like the poor , wo have always with us , will blow wealth and prosperity for Nevada. The Olty On thd Blue Formally Opens Its Now Hotel. TRAVELING MEN IN CLOVER. Hcatricc a Scene of Splendor A. Grand Banquet and 'Ball AVlio IVcro There The Hotel. BEATIUCB. Neb. , May 11. [ Special to THE BUB. ] Beatrice bidding for the third place among Nebraska's ' busy and enterprising cities , can now say without boasting that'we have the llnest hotel in the state outside of Omalra , and in point of furnishings , and architectural beauty the peer of any. Bril liantly illuminated last night , ' -The Pad dock" presented a sceuoof dazzling splendor , such as has rarely been witnessed in the west , for beauty nnd chivalry had gathered there. Fully a thousand sparkling faces were to bo scon "hero nnd there and everywhere , " In repousse to the generous Invitation of Mr. Criloy , throutrh the Traveling Men's club , to attend the jjrntidjoperilng. They gave animation to the decorations within , wnich were as beautiful as cultured tastes could conceive , and the spirit manifest on every hand was that of honor to tbo builder and the enterprising genius of the city that the new four-story hotel does so much credit. The dedication of "The Paddock" was the great sooial event of the history of Beatrice , nnd her citizens seemed to appreciate tbo fact. They vied with each other in making the stranger feel .that ho was one of them. Tlio roccution was In keeping with tlio true spirit of hospitality. It was all that would bo asked by. the throng tlmt gath ered from the four quarters of the union. No act of kindly interest or gentility wus forgotten. Words would fall to picture the beauty of the ( lorul decorations. .Festoons of flowers hung from the ceilings und walls. Great wreaths and potted plants transformed c. very room from ollice to ordinary , into bowcra of beauty. Colors were blended with inut < ) h- less taste. Indeed , they were in such per fect keeping that contrasts gave back answering smiles. There was no dashing , and It need only be said ; that all within WAS symmetrically beautiful. This , in a word , U all that u pen-picture can do in description. The banquet and ball ot the Traveling Men's club , which was lirojcotod by tha pro prietors of tlio hotel , to- fittingly celebrate its formal opening , was also perfect in its way , The banquet } vns , served in the ele gantly furnished dtnlrig' rooms and ordina ries. No sound came back from the couples us they cume tq , and went from , the tables laden with every dellcuoy of the season. The silk-velvet carpets did not Intend it should be so. Cheery Voices alone gave evidence of confusion. Hut to linger here is n to prolong a story that every guest , will bear TUB Bun out in saying : "Therehas hoen nothinglika itiu .all Nebraska the past year. " The ball wax given iu tha opera house , a portion of tha magnificent Paddock that will bo formally dedicated to the drama some time during the montu of next September , and it Is presumable that the dedication will IHJ upon a scale of equul plane. Hut. con cluding , the parquet was fitted on a. level with the stage , and teriisichoroau revellers Indulged to heart's contout. Though incom plete ) , the opera house presented a handsome ap | > caruncaj and in perspective gave evidence of the elegant unit commodious ' 'teuiplo of the drama" Beatrice will have when the interior is HnUhod , But , the opening of "Tho Paddock Is now a part of the history of Beatrice , and it means vastly more than what appears on the surface. The city has a hotel commensurate with every need. It is not only a credit to the city , but to the whole state. It is beyond to-day and bid * for a progressive future. Senator Paddock must have hod faith iu the possibilities when ho ventured fITO.OdO . to build the liolul that bears his name , and In which every citizen of the place takes a just degree of pride. H la not ouly a monument of the aay , but of the years to como. The order of the evening was conventional iu every sunsa. There Is nothing paradoxi cal in this. The ball , the banquet and the general social pleasures of the evening would have been lacking- without the customary to.ist. Mr. C. O. Bates welcomed the guests in u few well chosen words. Ho was folicl- tous in his remarks to the traveling men and provoked applause in contrasting their re sponsibilities. Mr. A. J. Conleo , president of the Traveling Men's duo , addressed the gathering in behalf of the fraternity he rep- reaonts. Colonel Ashby also responded "In favor of the Paddock , " nnd was roundly ap plauded in his concluding sentence : "In the name of the Traveling Men's Social club , of Beatrice , I thank you for your attendance hero to-night. " NOW TO TUB OPBXIXO- , and somotuiug of the history that bid to the splendid Celebration , and also something of the peoulo who honored the occa sion with their presence. The honor of formally dedicating the hotel was tendered to und carried out by the Trav eling Men's Social club of this city.

The club now numbers about fifty members , ull resi dents of Beatrice , a good many of them tak ing an active part in all matters of public improvements and importance. A short time ago Mr. E. 1C.

County bupcrintoudont Bruuer yesterday appointed two women to fill vacancies in thQ bchool board of district No. 20 , known aa Sumner Hill. Their names are Mrs. Au gusta Lorcnzon and Mrs. Margarotta Hun ter. He took thum for the reason that none of tbo district could bo induced to servo. Tlio vacancies occurred last winter , when death removed the moderator and treasurer. Since then the district has boon without a local government , but school kapt Just tha same although tlio tcnchur has not been able to draw a pay. The term will soon close , and in order to prevent any annoyances , the superintendent , acting upon the udvica of County Attorney Munoney , to whom the matter was submitted , made the two ap pointments. Many mountain streams abound in trout. The higher up ono goes the moro fish there seem to bo , they mount ing falls of several foot high in their ambitious progress toward the source of the water's supply. The salmon , the cousin of the trout , is famous for its method of going up stream ; it darts ut falls ton or twelve feet high , leaps into the air , and rushes up the falling water in a marvelous manner. So dotormino'd are the salmon to attain the high and safe waters that in some localities nets are placed honoath the falls , into which the llsh tumble in their repeated at tempts to clear the hill of water. Other than human hunters , however , profit by these scrambles up hill. Travelers report that on the banks of the upper St. John river , in Canada , there was once a rock in which u largo circular well , or pol-holo , had been worn by the action of tlio water. At the salmon season this rock proved a favorite re sort for boars ; and for a good reason.
