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

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

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.

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

in ordinance making the office of city weigher

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

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. NEDHASKAN.

COL. JOHN Av COOKRELL.
Well Known New Yirrk 4 Journalist on III *
r r l UMl to-Oiimlm.
John A. 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.

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.

From
High Government Authority.
No authority of greater experience on food products ex
ists than Dr. Henry A , Molt , of New York. 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.

The cause of the explosion IB yet a mys-
lery. The only person In the store , which
ivas a two-story brick , of which tlio second
story was used is n residence by Mr. Damme ,
were Jlr. and Mrs. Damme and Albert
Kurtz , an employe. The explosion came
with n rushing , roaring noise , then a tre
mendous explosion , like the bursting of a
rlynanilte bomb. The walls of the buii.J.ng
were blown outward , the floor lifted from the
lolsts and Jlr. and Mrs. Dammo were ( orced
through the openings where UK walls hail
OHM been and Into the street. Kurtz went
dcnVn Into the cellar , half burled beneath a
heap of debris.

Into the street , alighting on a pllt > ot bricks ,
and escaped without a scratch. Dwyer ,
Kelly and IJeer were passeraby and hap
pened to be Immed ately alongside the store
when the xploslon occurred. It was at
first thought a gasoline tank hud exploded ,
but that wan found Intact , ntid as yet no
cause ( or tna wreck , which was most com
plete , lias been found , though It Is sus
pected that a leaking gas mala was the
cause.

In ( hero days of big productions there Is
much more expense attached to HID launching
of a new play than was required In "days
gone by. " In former years a prescntatfbn
meant only a production without any special
preparations. In the present era new scenery
and effects are essential and a new drama
cannot be produced without the1 outlay of
several thousand dollops. One of the inobt
complete productions that has been placed
ticlore the public for many years Is "Shaft
No. 2 , " Mr. Frank L. Hlxby's electrical pre
sentation which Is to be keen at Boyd'B on
this and tomorrrow evenings. The scenery
fur this uttractlon , which consists of a full
ccv load , was designed ami painted by tfie
celebrated artist , Mr. W. I' . Davis , of the
Auditorium theater , Chicago , while the
electrical features of which there are a
large number are duo to the Inventive
genius of Mr. J. C. Myrahocffer , tlio electrical
expert ot the Carnegie Institute , New York
City. The scenery and electrical effects of
this organization originally cost more than
} 10,000.

Some silver-tongued , orator will tlobato national economy

This year we'll serve you with a better Overcoat for consider
able less money Hum \vo over dared hoping for. Whore , in
former years , we saved u , dollar for you , wo will triple It this
year. Six Pillars and Sovunty-flvR Cents is nil you pay this
year for single or double breasted black Kersey , all wool ,
Italian lined Overcoat , for which you paid $10.00 last year right
here , nffd not less than $15,00 olsewhoro.
Ton Dollars and a Half for a handsome , long cut , dress
Overcoat , fancy wool lined and richly trimmed excellent
