And now .1. M. Wilson the mr.n who for
W short period of time bold the position of
. \nsnector on permanent sldewalKs laid by
private parlies , is rclogatoit to the seclusion
.of private JIfc. In retiring him the council ,
nt its rcfr.ilur losmon last night , took occa
sion to differ with Mayor Bonus. It hap-
pencil In this way : The mayor vetoed the
concurrent resolution adopted last Tuesday
night , which decapitated J. M. Wilson nnd
removed him from the olllco , of iidownlk
inspector. The vote , however , was rejected ,
each ami .every . mombar voting against the
notion of the mayor. *
MDmiolncrxnUun * l > j tlio .iluy r.
In the veto communication the mayor stated
that if the Inspector was not A competent
person BOino ther.party should bo appointed
for the protection of the city. In speaking of
Mr.Vllson , the mayor wrote : "So far as
Mi ; Wilson In concerned , I bollovo ho has
rendi-ieil considerable effective servtco for
the city. I uollovo In nn Inspector who io-
apcctb , and not one who sits around and
draws his salary. It Is a notorious fno t that
a number of the Inspectors now engaged In
8o-callcd inspection ot public works are of
tbo latter clnss. Some of these inspectors
have Eiiccccdcd , according lo the appropria
tion bills , in putting In thirty-one days' tlmo
In the month of July , notwithstanding live
Sundays nnd the l < 'ourth of July occurred in
said month. "
This mosingo had the same effect that It
would to ll.iuntu rou'rng In the faces of a
lot of mad mala bovine * .
Mr. ChiilTuo snld that If the mayor had
chHrees to make against any ultv olllcinl ho
should iniilti ) them spoclflu nnd not ponaral-
Izc. There had been too much of that class
of work going on during the past slxmontns.
Mr. 1'rinco look occasion to remark that
when Wilson \vas appointed his duties were-
dcllnod. I to'was appointed to Inspect walKs
laid by nnvnto parlies. Neglecting his
duties , ho acted as n spy.
Mr. .Tiicobiim spoke upon the subject , say
ing that tin ) council understood mat Mr.
Wilson was to Inspect walks add not ofll-
cials. If tbo council wanted to conduct an
investigation , it had committees which wcro
competent to discharge these duties without
the old of a sny who was on the city pay roil.
Mr. Conway thought that Wilson had
taken too big a contract. If ho Intended to
Investigate nil of the oniciuU bo had a llfo-
long job on his hands.

Joe Editorlon was'boro last night and spoke
to a company of loss than thirty men. Tbo
department ofllccrs are nearly all hero , ' as
well as Commander Dilworth's personal
staff.
In the Afternoon.
At 1 p. m. a salute of thirteen guns was
flrud in honor of Commander Dilworth. At
J ! p. m. tbo ilrst address was delivered by
Chaplain Dlffoubacher , subject , " 'Tho JJavy. "
In Introducing tbo chaplain , General Dil
worth said : "Wo are just commencing our
fourteenth annual reunion. Yesterday was
rather damp but today 1s typical Nebraska
air and sunshine. Wo expect all the broth-
re n to assist each other to do as Unto klcK-
Ing as possible for whllo wo are very com
fortably situated there are always sorno who
Ibitik things are not bolug managed as they
should bo.
"In this organization wo bavo no relicion
or politics. It Is neutral In both. , The
only test ot welcome hero Is' that
you must have been a Union soldier
and carried a gun in defense of tha United
Stales. Nothing but soldier lalk will be
tolerated. Tbls roumon must be run so as
to hurt Iho feelings of no ono. Now I will
introduce the chaplain. In war times it was
thought a chaplain was necessary. His prin
ciple duties were the entertaining of visitors ,
eating nospllal supplies and drawing bis
salary. This chaplain wus a cavalryman
and wo used lo say when the cavalry went in
front tboro would bo no lighting that day ,
but whllo ho rode a norse , his subject will
bo "Tho Navy. ' "
rioiuod thn Voteriiiu.
Chaplain DliTonbuehor stepped lo iho front
and If any who heard his speech were
not convinced that iho navy has i
been n more potent factor in tbo his '
tory of Iho world ttinu mo army , '
bo was undeceived. Immediately after j I
the adJro s Iho Illinois veterans fell in lir.o , I
headed by iho Weslon band nnd were pro-
Denied n handsome banner made and
presented by Miss Minerva 1C Sloan of
Boaycr Crossing. The work on it was a
combination of embroidery nnd painting.
On ono side was painted nn eagle and Hag
and the words , "In Honor of Illinois. " On
the reverse siclo was the sumo Inscription
ever a dovo. General Dilworth accepted tha
banner with appropriate remarks and closed
by saying : "Thoro never has been ulimo on
Iho lluld when ibo Illinois soldiers were not
nil honor to thu Hag of the country. "
Three cheers were zlvon for tha Illinois
ladles , tha Illinois veterans und for General
Dilworth , tholr old officer. The drum corps
contest came off nt 0 o'clock. Three corps
were entered and Uuskin won the Hair. Tno
Judges were A. W. Nelhart , loader of tbo
Wabash band ; Theodora O. Millar , leader of
the Kearney band , and A. P. Hoover , loader
of the Ansloy baud.
At tlio Camp 1'lro.
The camp fire at night was presided ever
by Captain Honry. Ho tlrst spoke for nearly
an hour on tbo Grand Army of iho Republic ,
drawing largely from bis fund of anecdotes
and reminiscences of Iho war. In Intro
ducing Major Burton of Kansas the captain ,
remarked that mora soldiers unlisted from tbo
staia of Kansas inau from any other state in
iho union , whlcji wus always a happy
thought , but connected with It was the sad
knowledge that mora Kansas soldiers never
came back than 'from any other stato.
Major Burton talked for thirty minutes. Ho
paid : "Tho war was not fought bacuuao wo
had a grudge ogiilnsi the south but to preserve -
servo iho union. " /
In speaking of ibo present coni'HIon of tbo
veteran ho remarked that "If twenty years
moro were added lo Iho ago of tbo young-
oat veteran ho would bo utaout 70
years old , so thai wo cannot lust
much longer , but wo have planted a tree , un-
tier the shade of which our sons and daugh
ters may rest arm refresh ihcmxolvos. What
ever may bo said of tbo Grand'Array of tbo.

In Advance of AHtronomor * .
Ont ) , Nob. , Aug. 80. [ Special to TUB
BEK.I Mr. II. P. Maiden , a farmer living
near Ord , has lately become nwnro of the
possession by himself ot a marvellous
gift. He Is nblo w'th ' bis naked eye to see
many things on the plauot Mars that the
ablest astronomers hnvo as yet failed to dis
cover. Tha plnnot assumes to bin eye a dl-
umolor ot about twenty inches. Ho has
made several observations and n faw even
ing * ago saw an arc ot brilliant light near
HIP southern polo of the planet , In what ,
using for convenience earthly nomenclature ,
may bo called Iho anarctlo'circle. . It is at
present Ipvlstolo. Ho nt present sees a largo
nro of equally brilliant light In the north torn-
poruto zone that stretches from verge lo
verge of iho plnnot. These , ho fools con
fident , nro electric lights nnd as
the larger tire disappeared nnd roaopoared
several times one evening ho belloTos it
is nn effort of the inhabitants of Mars to
communicate with us , and is therefore contl-
dent that Mars , like the earth , is inhabited
by a race of Intelligent beings.
Toward the southeast extremity of the
Arctic circle and extending in' ' an nrc-ihapcd
form ho saw a lie-lit bright as the oloctrlo
light , but tinROd with blue , which ho bo-
llovcs is an electric zone surrounding the
polo of the planet. Ho is of tbo opinion that
n similar zone encircles the poles of our
earth , and thinks this will forever nrovont ,
man from reaching that object of so much
effort nnd so much failure the North polo.
Ho suggests lhat It Is tha rollootlon of this
zone on tbo cloud strata tnat makes that
beautiful appearance on tbo northern boav-
ons called aurora borcnlls.
Thu strange part of it Is that Mr. Maiden
