THE NEWS IN HIE BLUFFS , A Serious Hitch Discovered in the Oount of Second Ward Ballots , THE CITY'S DOCUMENTS INSECURELY KEPT Ocinunils lor Jfow Vaults , V $1OOOO lji > ; ht ami AVutcr 1'or Avoun Death of Will N. Clnyton. The county board of supervisors yoterday began the ofllelal count of the recent election. They had not proceeded far before they struck a snag. The returns from the Second ward of this city seem mixed. The rcgiitcry hooks and poll bpoks did not tigrco. It seems that the clerks In filling out tbo books found it necessary to add some extra shoots , there not being enough bound In tha books. So with the tally sheets. Some of these loose sheets wcro placed in the ballot box Instead of being returned with the books , and others of these loose sheets evidently got mislaid altogether. An effort wni made yesterday to get some satisfactory straightening ot the returns - turns , but it seemed such u pnzzlo that it was decided to sleep over it and determine today whether a recount would bo necessary or not. The returns on the Judges seem to bo in error In some unexplained way. Tlioro ap pear lo have been IK ) votes more cast for the judicial tlckeutunu for the other-tickets , it Is not thought that the muddle will cause any change in the results of the election , The only republican on the Judicial ticket who has not a round majoiity , far beyond uuy danger , is Walter I. Smith. Ills majority , as gathered from the unolllcinl report shows lilin to have been mfely elected , The olllclnl count whittles down his majority some , so that it now seems evident that his election is closer ihm : was estimated a few days ago. The count of fie Seconil ward Is therefore watched by his friends with n little moro Interest than by others , 'i'hey seem confident that ho will huvo in any event a majority which will place his election beyond any clianco for qulbblo or doubt , but still there was manifest a natural anxiety on ac count ot the close race. The returns from the Second ward bear no evidences of fraud , but rather ignorance or carelessness on the part of these whoso duty it was to euro for them. The returns ot the First precinct of the Fourth ward were found to bo rather in vs ti lled , and the clerks were called in to explain , They were able to do so , the trouble being that they had counted up the straight votes anil placed the result in one column , instead of tallying each vote by a separate mark on tbo sheet.Vith this explanation the board was MJOII able to check up the returns satis factorily. _ MAKING TIMS FUR FfjY.

The firm did not want but ono , an leaving ono there ho took tbo other around t the other shops and finally sold It. Then h returned to get his pay for the hog in coutix versy and found only n clerk 1 charge , who know nothing about ii Ho * hunted for the proprietors , nn not liudlug them , arrived ut the cot conclusion , from various circumstances , t him nt least , suspicious , that ho was not gc ing to get his pay.

The heads ot the city departments located n the old city building on Bryant street dropped their busy pens for a few moments vc-sterday afternoon and entertained Alder- nan Wooa , who had dropped in to leak after some of the city's business , The ofllcers and their deputies have not recovered from the iressof business that the last days of the month forced upon them , and great stacks ot books and records , stubs and eceipts were piled upon their desks. "There nro some conveniences about the old building , Alderman Wood , " remarked one of the officers , us ho turned on his revolving stool and pulled out a bond register from a ilgeon holo. "It It no trouble , you see , to jet any hook or document you want. There s no dark vault or safe to go into and limit iround until you Hud what you want. We've ? ot all of the city's Important hooka und rec- mls right hero in these pigeon holes , always n sight and easy to got at. " "But it's not a very sal'o place to keep the city's ' account books , " drawled the aldermnu. "Thoy might bo stolen , and they would certainly bo destroyed If there was to bo a llro in the building. " "Of course they could bo stolen by any body who took the trouble to pry up .ono of the windows and utiloc'k the door , and there would bo no chance of saving anything if a lire would break out , but to chuck them In these Dlgeon holes and pile them up on these racks nro the the only places AVO have to keep them. There Is not a building In the city that could bo moro easily burglarized than tills ono. If some fellow who hud nn object In destroying some of the city records doslred to get into the building ho could accomplish it as easily as he could get Into his neighbor's barn. After each ono of the heath of the various departments hud poured this kind of hot shot into the aldermen for a few mpments the con versation took the form of a mutual dcmnjid for better protection for the city records. Alderman Wood and sev eral citizens who chanced to bo In the building at the time were taken through the oftices und shown the piles and stacks of records and valuable papers that were affordoJ no moro protection than pine boards' could give. In the treasurer's ofllco beneath the counter and desk are a row of book shelves , ni > d they were all filled with volumes of the treasurer's registers dating back sev eral years. They contain the registers of all warrants drawn and paid , and If they wcro to bo destroyed the city would have nothing whatever to show that the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of war rants have over been paid , ex cept the stubs of the warrant books. These are piled up on the top of the big safe in the auditor's otilco nnd would bo the first thing to go in case of llro. In u closet iu the rear of the ofilco are stored special assess ment certificates that are held in trust to secure - cure the payment of the bonds Issued In pay ment of all the paving , grading and sewer and other public work done in the city during the past ton years , If these were to be car ried away or destroyed there would bo noth ing left for the city to use in prosecuting if the taxpayers should refuse to pay the re mainder of the special assessment tuxes , nnd the result would bo that several hundred thousand dollars' worth of public improvements that have been as sessed ngainst private property would have to ho paid by the city. These are the cer- tillcates hold in trust to guarantee the pay ment of the bonds , the city only acting as agent for the property owners in there deal ings with the bondholders. Iu tho"audttor's ' ofllco their Is the same mass of Important documents accumulated nud whollv unprotected. "Thero are at least $5 < KOUO ) , worth of receipts ontopof that safe1 , said Deputy Auditor Auwerda. "Thoy nro of as much value as nay other receipt , and if they were to bo stolen or destroyed , it would involve the city in expensive litigation to provo that claims had been paid. Wo have only room in our big safe for our sets of ledgers and journals , and wo can do nothing moro than pile these records up in the manner you sco them. " The clerk's ofllco is In evenaworso condi tion. The safe Is filled with the most im portant books und cash , nnd there is no room for the valuable records. Talcing all the departments and their un protected contents into consideration , it is sufo to assume that a llro in the old city building would bo the means ot damaging the city to the extent , eventually , of many hundred thousand dollars. Alderman Wood was very much interested in the dlsnttsslon and admitted the necessity of providing safer quarters for the city's valuable papers. He had no plan to present , but felt sntisliod that adequate protection could bo/given without plunging the city into the tremendous expense of erecting a city ball , such as some aldermen hadsuggestcd by procuring a special act of the legislature enabling the city to Issue bauds to the extent ' of f 150,000 for the new building. Ho thought' that the expenditure of $2,500 , if wisely mad1) , would afford ample facilities for caring lor nil the records at the present time and for Bcvoral years to como. An addition could bo built to the present building for that amount containing sufficient vault room for all the records. Ho was in favor of hav ing the matter brought up in the council at once nud the proper stops taken to have such an addition built.

The largest purse offered was the sweepstakes , and among the competitors were some of tha most noted horses on the turf , but Sandwich was nn easy win ner. Sandwich Is of royal blood , and Is a full brother to Maud S. Chicago papers of Saturday devoted a great deal 6f space to the splonded performance of the handsome stallion , nnd his line record has attracted the attention of horse-brecdcra all over the country.

The third annual exhibition of the Western Art association was thrown open to the pub ic last evening , the largo room on the llrst leer of the Now York Life building having jccn converted into an Immcnso salon by the members of the bunging committee of the as sociation , Messrs. Stanbury , Catllu nnd iothery. Ana the display is far superior to any pre vious exhibition of the association. Through out there bus been an intelligent purpose on .ho part of the artists , professional and ama- .our alike , to make the best of their advan- ages , and the result is satisfactory both to , ho association and the art world of Omaha. Whllo there are a few pictures on the wall .hat will cause n smllo to niantlo the faces of the spectators , as a whole the exhibition is wonderfully cammcudnblo aud will compare very favorably with that of any bimllar art association in the west. _ Ono thing that will particularly strike the visitor is the great absence of landscapes , the artists seemingly having confined them selves to still life and figures. Tnls relates to the oils. In the water color department tbo reverse is noticed , the majority of the subjects being seascapes and landscapes , , vlth a llornl piece and a liguro now and then ; o give the desired relief from the monotony of marines. But it is in the oils the greatest advance will bo remarked. Many of the professionals mve for the time given over painting Hewers nud fruits , nnd have gene out into a larger Held , which admits of broader ideas , more unconventional treatment. Artists who last year received honoruulo mention will tins year stand an excellent chance for one of the iri/.es which the association gives , and ama teurs who were studying the groundwork of perspective , color , lorm and size last year imvo on the line stiidlos that will attract uni versal attention , If they do not secure the .onged-for "honorable mention" from the committee of Judges. But the exhibition must bo seen to bo ap preciated. It Is a most worthy dlsplnv by the young association- , which has really been the pioneer of art In Omaha. When the as sociation yas formed chaos fittingly reflects the condition art was In in this metropolis of. Nebraska. But the members of the organt- zatioa hnvo worked nnd labored for the up- buldingof n now order of things in which art should have a prominent place , and the exhibition which was formally opened last evening will show how well the work has Ucen done. During the evening the gallery was visited by Mr. aud Mrs. Charles Cat- lin , Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Uose- water , Mr. and Mrs. Khodcs of New York , Hon. George W. Llningor , Colonel C , I. Chase , Misss Ball , Mrs. Frances Mumaugh , Miss M. Buttcrfleld , Mrs. John Brltrgs , Mrs. Edward BosewatcrMiss Uosowatcr. Tonight the Newton art association , instead of meeting at the Llmngcr gallery , will hold the monthly meeting in the improvised gallery in tho'Lifej building where an Informal recep tion will bo tendered to Mr. John Mulvany , the celebrated artist , and a number of other artists-who will have pictures in the exhibi tion which opens in the D.

The ills * [ > ute nroso over the duko's attentions to ii girl , tint ] reached Its climax In the Nnntuckot mute pol/.lnp the future king of EtiRluiul ntul hurling him downstnlrH. Au oyo-witncssof the affair was wont in niter years to add nn a decorative detail Unit the click of the iluko'a sword-hilt was hoard on ovcry stair. Greene at once wont aboard Ms own ship nnd re fused to obey n summons from the ltd- uilralwho , ft afterwards transpired , hud Intended to nuiUo the plucky Nantucket man au olllccr In the English army. All the strategic resources of a quick , ready mind wore often called Into play during u whaleman's career , not only in woathorltifr storms and in avoiding de struction of boats and loss of llfo when atlackUig whales , but also In escaping massacre from SUVIIKO Islanders uud in outwitting pirates. In 1819 the whale- ship Syren , whllo on a voyage to the eastward of Cnpo Horn , mot with nn ad venture which would have proved fatal to all hands but for a quick strategcm of the mute. One II no day. .off ono of the Polow Islands , all the boats being after whales , and but a few men left aboard the vessel , a largo bund of armed natives suddenly swarmed over the bulwarks. The crow lied to the rigging , leaving the naked , howling snvngcs in command of the ship. The mute , on coining alongside , took in the situation at a glance , and quickly ordered the men to open the arm chests and scatter on deck all the tacks they could find. Ina moment it fairly rained tucks upon the naked savages. The deck was soon covcrud with these little nuils. They pierced the feet of the [ slanders , who danced about with pain , which increased with ovcry stop they took , until , with yells of rage ami agony , they tumbled headlong into the sea and swum ashore. Unfortunately in the struggle the male received an arrow wound just over ono of his eyes and was obliged to retire from the sea. 1G02.

The latest eccentricity of Viennese fashion is n passion for funs of mountain cock feather * The last question the young Austrian' ' belle asks her udmlror joforo lie goes on u hunt is : "Won't you try , please , to bag mo a line fan ? " Au ideal fan of this kind must'contaln Duly feathers from birds brought down ; > y the most oxpcit shots , and every rcather must bo the lone representa tive of the giver's skill. Consequently such an ideal fan may record the ad miration and skill of sixty or seventy liunters. It Is also not unusual to have cut in the ribs of the smaller fans n , brief account of the circumstances Under which the elver of the attached feathers shot the bird. The Gorman empress , Augusta Victoria , is said to have expressed - pressed a wish last summer to have such i fan , and over since that time the young bloods of the Austrian court , who have ilrcady bagged fans for their own women , have b'een shooting right and left for hoi- sake. The handle of the fan , now bulng completed in Vienna , will bo set with jewels in the Prussian colors. Casey and Reman Sent Up. Larry Casey and Jerry Kernnn , two of the toughest men who try to get a living by questionable methods iu Omaha , wcro tried yesterday afternoon in public court for creat ing a disturbance in a disreputable den on Ninth street. Casey was tried upon a charge of having resisted Officer Kissano when the ofllccr ar rested him. Judge Helsley lined him $100 nnd costs and sent him to the county jail in default of payment. Kernau was sent to jail for thirty days , with the instructions that during the llrst ten and last ten he shall be given nothing but bread and water. This is the pair that assaulted the .man Carter in a salooti on Tenth street about two months ago and loft him in the street for dead.

Philosopher. * on N Wo have lately lounictl , through tiio rcminisconecsof tholr disciples , how two or the most eminent thinkers of our time Schopenhauer um ] Emerson regarded the modern newspaper , says the Now York Lodger. Schopenhauer , it must ho remembered , was fond of rcndlnir the London Times ; it was , therefore , Iho highest typo of the dully newspaper Hint ho had in his mind. lie found much moro in it , however , to blame than to pralso. Ho used to cull the newspaper the second hand of the watch of history ; ' adding tlmt not only is it of less nob'lo metal than the two other hands , hut It seldom goes right. Ho points out what , indeed , can hardly bo dis puted , that in editorial articles , which play the part of chorus to the drama of contemporary events , exaggeration is its essential as it is upon the stage. They inevitably nuika the utmoat possible out of every occurrence. In Schopenhauer's opinion the result ant excels of emphasis made newspapers a source of contagion to style in litera ture , lie also thought that the system of anonymity breeds a disingenuous spirit which affects the form no less than the matter of newspaper utterances. SAOn the other hand. Emerson tonic a more optimistic , though" still discrimi nating , view of novrspapors. Ho recognized that ' 'newspapers have done much to abbreviate expres sion , and so to improve stylo. " Ho forsaw , too , though ho was speaking a quarter of a , century ago , that daily journals \voro to occupy a very largo bharo of attention during our gen- oration. Ho added that "tho most studious and engaged man can only neglect , them tit his cost. " At the same time ho cautions suoh men to read the daily newspapers ccloetically , and not omnivorously , column by column. "Ho- member , " ho says , "that newspapers nro made for everybody , and don't try to get what isn't meant for you. " ' According to Emerson , there is a great secret in knowing what to keen out of the mind , as well as what to put in it.

Wet III Its WulKlit In Gold. Prices of false troth have gone up recently , hut the rise wan caused by the scarcity of platinum , of which metal the little pins are made with which to fusion each tooth to the plate , says the Now York Star. All the platinum of commerce comes from Itussiaii mines In the Ural mountains , nnd the supply la hardly sulllciont for the demand at pres ent. The consumption ot platinum luia greatly increased slnco the elcetrlo lighting companies began its use. Jld you over observe the tiny , halt-like wlro loop In each Incandescent light ? That wire Is made of platinum , which is ono of the very hardest of metals. The prloo of platinum has gone up to about $ -0 an ouncowhiih ! is considerable htghor tlmii 12 ! carat gold.
