The only sensational feature of on other wise tame council meeting last evening was the followInfi resolution , Introduced by ncchel. which brought the Sherman avenue rcpavlng muddle before the council : Ilcsolved , Thnl the Hoard of I'ubllc \Vorkn be dlr.-rteil to'submit to this council a. complete iibstract of the bids submitted to It on October 19 , for asphalt pavement on Sherman avenue and Sixteenth street nnd Its reiiHons for rejecting the same , nnd that llio city etiBln 'cr and city nttorney be each directed to submit his views In wrltlni ! with reference to > the validity and propriety ol such bids anil their rejection. Wheeler took the lloor to remark that the Hoard of I'ubllc Works i\a vested by the charter with the right ot passing on these bids , and It was not proper lor the council to Interfere. COUNCIL WILL LOOK INTO IT. Dechel vigorously contended for the reso lution and was supported by Howell , who asserted that there was a good deal of con troversy over the Sherman avenue paving , mil the council had a right to all necessary Information on the ( subject. The resolution was carried after It had been so amended as to call for copies of the olds ami the adver tisement Instead ot the abstract. The mayor's veto ot a resolution providing for the construction of catch basins on Ame. < avenue at Thirtieth and Thirty-fourth streets was sustained. The veto was on the ground that the city engineer hail certified that they were unnecessary at these points. The mayor's appointment ot W. O. Shrl- ver , James Stockdale and H. W. Gibson ns apprasers on the lloulevard street grading was confirmed. An additional communication from the owner of the C'olonnade hotel offering to ills- pot a ot the building to the city for Jail and hospital pu. poses was referred to the com mittee on police , and on Its recommendation It will be turned over to the charter revision committee M > that some provision may be made by which the proposition can be ac cepted II It Is considered advisable. PLEASED IJY THE INNOVATION. A rather unusual communication was ono from Thomas KllpatrlcH [ returning -three months' salary as a member of the Board of Park Commissioners on the ground that howas out of the city for that time. The warrant was ordered canceled and a motion was passed thanking Mr. Kllpatrlck for Ills scrupulous Integrity. the city comptroller was granted a month's leave of absence. A resolution by Wheeler ordering tha licenses of all city weighers revoked and di recting the Inspector ol weights and meas ures to sec that all signs were taken down was referred. This was accompanied by in ordinance making the office of city weigher a salaried on ? at (1,000 a year and provid ing that all fees collected be turned over lo thij city. The city clerk was instructed lo notify all councllmcn t meet In the committee room at 10 a. m , Thursday to hear protects on the 1895 assessment. Among the ordinances passed were tho. e ordering : the paving of Thirty-second avenue from Center to Dorcas street ; chancing the grade of Pierce street from Second to Fourth street ; changing the grade of Twenty-sixth street from Hickory street to the south line of Scully's addition ; establishing the grade of Kavan street from Thirteenth street to the city limits , and ordering the paving of Jack- soji .street from Thirty-sixth to Thirty-eighth street. _ turd of Tli links. > Ve wish to return our heartfelt thanks to'tho kind neighbors and friends who were so kind to UB during our lute bereavement.

BALTIMORE , Oct. 23. Captain Huglns of the coffco bark Dotn Pedro II. now In port , gives a graphic description of a dynamite explosion that occurred In Itlo dc Janeiro ate te\\ ' days prior to September 6 , when his vessel Balled for Baltimore. A Brazlllafi soldier discovered near the English cemetery a subterranean magazine In which the In surgents ot the recent rebellion had con cealed a largo quantity of gunpowder ; cart ridges nnd dynamite shells , which they evi dently intended using against the govern ment. The soldier reported his find to the general commanding , and a rough car drawn by two mules was sent to the scene to remove the contents o the hidden maga zlne to a place of safety. A detachment of soldiers accompanied the cart and a curldus crowd of citizens followed It lo the llttlo hole which had been dug out to hold the explosives. A quantity of the shells had been placed In the cart and n pile of others had been passed out close behind It , when one of the soldiers , while In the act of handling a shell , dropped It among the others , The same second an explosion shook the earth. A sheet of llama shot up ward and a cloud of whitish smoke hid everything from view. The vessels In the harbor rocked at their moorings and the city was thrown Into wild excitement. Over a ton of dynamite had exploded from the dropping of a shell. The soldiers and mules were blown Into fragments and only pieces were found. Over sixty persons were re ported killed. "T.lllll-'V KKFOltH" .lU THE liVO.Ul OMAHA , Oct. 22. To the Editor ot The Bee : Fifty years ago Henry Clay , the great Commoner of Kentucky , declared his confl dcno In an ample production of sugar In the United States for homo consumption. Ho had been abroad , and had been an eye wit ness of the great efforts ) then making In France and In Germany to make beet sugar production a success. He realized , what all civilized nations have , that no pecple having the soil and climate' should be de pendent on other countries for so necessary and costly an art'cle ' of consumption as sugar. Ho appreciated the great- drain that the cost of sugar had already come to be on this country , and he evidently comprehend.il what the Increase would bo when x\e came to ba a nation of 70,000,000 , consuming aa wo do over 4,000,000,000 pounds of sugar per annum , for which wo annually pay for eign nations upwards of $120,000,000 $ a year. A farmer who had tlie land In a climate adapted to raising any paying and necessary crop , who would sit idly by and pay out his money to foreigners for the very thing he could produce , would not to considered a wise nor frugal man In the management of his land. A nation like this , which has the soil and the climate to produce sugar from not only cane , but especially fr8m beets and sorghum , that trifles with such an In dustry hardly merits success in other direc tions. A state like Nebraska , which already has two largo beet Kusar factories within her bor ders , and which had the promise of more , untr a free tradeor "tariff reform" for tha two phras s have become synonymous congress viciously struck at the sugar Industry , by repealing the wise and beneficent bounty or cheap sugar law of 1S90 ; such a state , tinder present conditions , having the soil and the climate to sustain a dozen beet sugar facto ries , should not p < rmlt the success which has already attended the sugar Industry In her borders to perish , nor even to drag out a miserable existence , simply because con gress. In a fit of Impotent political inge , has alrn.id at the sugar Industry a blow that threatens Its life. To not only keep the beet sugar Industry on - Its feet , but to stimulate Its development to a point where Nebraska would rank first In the list of sugar producing states of the union should be a subject of pride and 1 > e made a matter of business to our peop'e , and I hope that those who are seeking the votes of the farmers of Nebraska this fall for the legis lature will be asked to define their views favorably on this question , since congress has dealt so unjustly and harshly with it. Until the republican party , the party of protection to American Industries and Ameri can labor , comej to power again , sugar may need some little aid from the states where produced to enable the prices for beets to be kept up to tlio farmers , for really this whole sugar question Is purely agricultural , I hope the state , In view of the strong reso lution adopted by the late republican state convention , will not forget to note the Im portance of this matter this fall and trust that the fanners will realize that their Inter ests will bo best subserved by men who believe In home Industries nnd especially by ono that employs so much 'agricultural labor as does beet sugar.

Cockrell , late editor of the New Vork Morning Advertiser and one of the ablest newspaper men In America , IB In Omaha In company with Colonel William V. Cody , "Buffalo Bill , " enroute lo the lattcr's ranch at North I'lattc. After ten days' shootlm * In Nebraska , under Colonel Cody's direction , Mr. Cockrcll , n company with Colonel Cody nnd probably George J , Gould , president of the Missouri acinc , will go to Sheridan on a fishing and hunting trip. Colonel Cockrell was n visitor to The Hee yesterday and was shown through the de partments by Jlr. Kosewnter. "For eighteen years , " said Mr. Cockrell , "I ha > o had an average of thirty minutes In the open air dally , and my physician has Im peratively Insisted upon a rest. It was for this reason that I gave up the Morning Ad vertiser , as much as any , nnd determined upon a vacation. The story that I would as sume the presidency of u Kaolin company In Florida was evidently Edit out by Mose Handy , or some other newspaper writer In New York. The facts are , that I have been president of tlio company for some time , but never allowed It to Interfere with my news paper work. I have been In the harness for a quarter ot a century , almost , and believe I deserve a rest. We expect to meet Mr. Gould and several friends here tomorrow morning and go out to Colonel Cody's ranch together , where 'Bill * assures us we will get an abundance of upland shooting , later going on to Sheridan for mountain shooting and fishing. , "The trip we are making , " added Colonel Cockrell , "is a constant revelation. As a matter of fact , I have never bcn any further west that Thirty-fifth street In St. Louis. After having lived In the east and traveled eitcnslvely over the continent of Kuropo It occtirriil to me that I was losing much by not visiting the west and here I nm. The greatest thing about the west Is your climate , I have simply been saturated with the raw , damp atmosphere from the coast. It Is worth a trip to Nebraska merely to fill one's lungs with pure air. " For The Bee composing and editorial rooms Colonel Cock-ell had only the warmest words of praise , stating that they were In fine contrast with the crowded nnd dingy rooms of NEW York newspapers. He Is pleased with Omaha and thinks that he can spend twelve hours very pleasantly here under the tender care of Buffalo Bill , who always owns Omaha when he comes to the metropolis of the state. With Mr. Cockrell and Colonel Cody are George T. Beck , son of Senator Beck of Wyoming , nnd K. H. Harlnn of Chicago. Oregon Kidney Tea cures backache , Trial elzs , "j cents. All druggists.

At a meting of the Bo.u-d of I'ubllc works yesterday afternoon , all tlie bids on the Sher man avenue paving were rejected and the chairman was ordered to readvertlse. The rejection ot the bids was on the ground that none of them were in accordance with the advertisement , In the respect that they did not designate what kind of asphalt would be used. This view was opposed by Rasper , who thought that the contract should be let to Hugh Murpliy as the lowest bidder , but he was overruled by the majority of the board. When the bids were taken up , Chairman Winspear said thati he hadi given the- matter a good deal of consideration , nnd the stand that he should take was what lu > believed best protected the interests of the taxpayers. He read from th bids to show that In none of them was the kind ot asphalt designated , and moved that nil bids bo rejected. Kaaper said that Murphy had brought In a remarkably low bid. Hewns responsible , and would give a , sufficient bond that the pavement should last five years. In his opinion It was not so much the kind of asphalt that was used , but the manner In which It was put down that made a. good pavement. His motion to lot the contract was not seconded , and Major Ralcombc' voted with the chairman to reject the bids. The- contract and bond of Hugh Murphy for rcpavlng Tenth street , from Mason to Williams btreet , with Colorado sandstone , was approved , as was also that ot Alfred Bralnard for grading Thirty-fifth avenue , from Half Howard to Leavenworth street , and Thirty-fifth street , from Half Howard to Jones street.

Dr. Mott's wide experience as Government Chemist for the Indian Depart ment , gave him exceptional opportunities to acquaint himself with the qualities and constituent parts of bahing powders. He understands thoroughly the comparative value of every brand in the market , and has from time to time expressed his opinion thereof. On a recent careful re-examination and analysis he finds Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder superior to all others in strength , purity , and efficiency. Dr. Mott writes : . " New York , March seth , 189.1 , I find Dr , Price's Cream Baking Powder toibe superior to all others , for the following reasons : ist. It liberates the greatest amount of leavening gas and is consequently more efficient. and. The ingredients used in its preparation are of the purest character. 3rd. Its keeping qualities are excellent. 4th. On account of the purity of the materials and their relative proportions , Dr , Price's Cream Baking Powder must be considered the acint of perfection as regards wholesomcness and efficiency , and I say this having in mind certificates I have given several years ago respecting two other baking powders. The reasons for the change in my opinion arc based on the above facts and the new method adopted to prevent your baking powder from caking and deteriorating in strength. HEXRV A. MOTT , Ph. D. , L.
