Chief Seavey requested the board to pur chase l.CXXt cartridges lor police target prac tice. The chief also requested that ninety special policemen be appointed for election day. This was granted aud the mayor will appoint the men , who will bo paid S..SO eacb. Chief Uailigan sent in a report that 4' ' > J feet of the hose cut during the riot could be repaired , but 40J feet would be a total loss. Property owners at Druid Hill and Port land Place requested tnat a fire alarm box txj placed at the corner of Thirty-third and Sprag-uo streets : referred. The chief of police sent in n report regard ing tbo reduction of his force. In May , ISM ) , tbe pollco force numbered 104. At tbe pres ent date only eighty-nine men ura on the rolls. Of these abaut S per cent are absent on leave or sick all tbo time. A comparison of the police force in Kansas City , Denver ana a half dozen other cities was also sub mitted to show mat the force was much lower than in cities not as large as Oiuaba. Mr. Gilbert stated that owing to the condi tion of the police fund no new men could bo put ou now. The matter of appointing Dr. Lee police surgeou was callea up and discussed at some length , and finally referred to the committee on laws , ordinances and regulations. In executive session the board tallied over tne lynching and heard a partial report of the committee to which was referred the ofll- cial report of the lynching made by Cnief Seavey.

Tbe old divorce suit of Sailer against Salter bas been transferred to another state and the same old fight that has been going on for four years will be renewed. Octobers. 157 , Thekla Salter filed a peti tion in the district court of this vounty ask ing to be divorced from her husband , Mathias Salter. Tbo case went upon the docket and in due time was called for trial. The wife asked the court to compel her husband to turn over $1,000 alimony , besides paying her t-Vj per mould. She also charged that Mathias was a drunkard , a brute and hud been choosing strange gods while he should have been lingering at his own fireside. All of these Mathias denied and with twenty witnesses on hand proposed to prove that all of the allegations were false. Just about that limn a continuance was granted and prosecution was dropped , but the caie still appears upon the docket of the district court. Sailer now avers that last spring a prom- mnnt citizen ot Chicago viiited relations in this city and was smitten. He gazed upon the charms of the fair Th kla and made up his mind that sooner or later she must be his own. The marriage with oatler stood in the way of an early union between Thelka and her Chicago lover , but it was another case where love smiled at tbo locksmiths and a scheme was planned. The woman was to slip away to Chicago aud there secure the coveted divorce. Mathias waited and watched , but at last bo was caught with his eyes closed. Last night his wife'started 1'or the windy city , where she experts to meet the man of her second choice. The riphtiul nusband will , however , cot allow this kind of love making to run along smoothly , for today bo will board tbe tlyer and with money in bis pocket will tight any attempt uoon tbe part of bis wife to sever the oonds ot matrimony.

The democrats anil independents met last ercnluc and decided to place tno name of Ueonje K. Hawkins , a simon pure democrat , on tbe ticket in Heron's stead. Jud e A. Hardy , a democratic lawyer , said today : " 1 am for Post. I know him person ally nnd know him to be honest and perfectly capable. I bare had legal business before htm and can speaK irom experience Of his ability. That Is the reaion I am for Judge Post , and I snail most assuredly vote for him. I know of many other leaaintr democrats that will do likewise. " Frank Barclay , Jr. , a leading young hui- ness man and a aomocr.U of this city , said : "I think I shiili vote for J-idnu Post. I know him to bo capable and honest. I know nothing about Eaeerton , but from hearsay I am not much impressed witb him. Had Judge Broady stayed On tne track I would have supported nltn. Ills declination leaves us only one alternative and that is Judge Post. " This is tbe general tenor of opinion thus far gleaned from well Known democrats on the question. Some of them do not deblro to bts quoted , for obvious reasons. Mr. Koiewater'sColutnbusspeecb is highly endorsed by republicans in this city. A number have not yet read it , but such as have are unstinted in their oraiso of Mr. Koscwater and his manly and vigorous pir- Ucipation in tbo republican campaign this fall. fall.After After several days' deliberation. County Clerk A. G. Keirn has overruled the objec tions of the mugwump democracy and de cided last evening to permit the democratic ticket nominated test Saturday to go on the oDicial ballot as the straight democratic ticket. The mugwumps threaten an appeal and will probaoly carry it to the district court on the ground that tbe democratic in dependent ticket is tbe only simon pure democratic one nominated and that tney alone are entitled to recognition as the true disciples of Jackson. A petition is being circulated this after noon urging F. L. McGill of Wymoro to enter the race as an independent repuolican candidate for county clerk. Ucmocrntic View * of .Indue Punt. BHOKG.S- Bow , Xob. , Oct. IT. [ Special to THE BEE.J Democrats of this vicinity talk freely of their opposition to Edgerton and determination to support Judge Post. Harry E. O'Neili , a democratic attorney , said : "I regret very much that the state central com mittee did not till the vacancy , and since I cannot rote for a democrat , 1 have decided to cast rav vote for Judge Post , I br.ve inves tigated" the qualifications of the two candi dates and there Is no doubt In my mind as to the superior ability of Judge Post. I was in Omaha a few days ao and talked with sev eral ot the democratic members of the Doug las county bar. They informeu me that Edger- ton was a lawyer of very ordinary ability and wholly until for the hish oflico to which he aspires. I saw Edgerton in Lincoln last winter and from my observation of his act ions I was convinced that he was thrro as a lobbyist ; and I do not think his persistent haranguing and peddling badges is in keep ing with the dignity that should characterize n candidate for hign judicial honors. I shall vote for the man wno nas announced for his platform 'the constitution , tbo laand . his solemn oath of ofiice. ' " S. B.

Her husband told her that as all Wejrman pianos wore first-class .hero was no need of poin to the ? tore , but that she mipht just as well telephone to Hayden Bros , for the' instrument to bo delivered. Hurriedly putting on her most impos ing apj aranco she started out , but being unused to the telephone she by mistake turned in the fire alarm , the wires of which had in some vray become crossed with these of Hayden Bros' , fire alarm , . . .and this brought out the city hos company , the hook and ladder , together with all the fire extinguishing' life preserv ing apparatus in town. The firemen rlisnod up to the second lloor of Hayden Bros" , store and commenced throwing1 Wegman pianos put of the window upon the hard pavement below , rejnrdless of life , liberty or pursuit of happiness. By this time the chief of the fire de partment arrived upon the scene and seeingno fire the nearest approach tea a fire being the picture of a cow that kickud over the combustible milk at the great Chicago conflagration repri manded his men severely for such useless destruction of property. One of the Haydens. witnessing the discomfiture 01 the'nien was moved with pity toward them and said. "That's all right , chief ; all we have to do is to vipa the dust off from these pianos. The Wegrann is never knocked out of tune by a fall. These pianos will stand a South American errthquake or Dakota blizzard.1 This set the people to crying because they hadn't \Vegman pianos , and great was the lamentations thereof. Hiiydcn Bros. , taking compassion upon the people , decided to reduce oricos on Wogman pianos to 5150.00 under any other standard piano made , also the KiiTiball to SloO.OO. the Fisher to : S5.00 , other ? 4oO.OO pianos for ilST.oO , and so on through the list. The lacty ha * found out by this time that she can't ue the town pump for a telephone nor the tire alarm for a mes senger bov , but she is now happy in the thought that she has the best peano in the neighborhood and her neighbors are nappy , too. over the fact that their real estate has advanced in value on account of thib musical acquisition.
