For First Ward Councilman ISAAC S. HASCALL That was the way It was fixed In a caucus which was held In committee' room A In the city hall just before the repular council meeting last night. It required half a dozen ballots nnd then the members who had been fighting ehy of the combination got Into line and the two candidates nameJ were declared the choice of the caucus. As soon aa the council was called to order Allan moved that the selection of the two coiticllmrn to fill vacancies be Immediately taken up. Kmcnt and Dlngham attempted to effect a postponement for ono week , but the ways were all greased and Allan's mo tion went through with a rush , Kmont , Blng- I ham , Burkley , Bcncwa and Kcnnard voting In the negative. Kmcnt declared that the council was trying to defeat the expressed wishes of the people of the First ward and Kcnnard contended that the First ward was ffllrly entitled to both vacancies. Taylor , Christie and others explained their vote by the statement that they were bound by their caucus obligations , which they regarded as sacred. The vote on the election of the two coun- cllmen waa taken by roll call , President Saundcrs ruling that ten votes were neces sary for an election. Allan , Burmclstcr , Christie , Jaynes , Lemly , Mercer , Prlnco , Tay lor , Thomas and Haunders voteil"for the straight caucus ticket , which was Hascall for the ward vacancy and Wheeler for cotin- clman-at-largc. ! Axford voted for Hascall and Back , Bencwa for Jordan and Stuht , Blngham for Stuht and Back , Kennard for Back and Jordan and Kmcnt for Stuht and Hnscall. Burkley refused to vote for any car dldato on the ground that there was no particular hurry about filling the vacancies. Thlo gave Hascall eleven votes , Wheeler ten , Back three , Stuht thrco and Jordan two. Hascall and Wheeler were , then duly de clared elected and Mayor Broitch reported that he had approved their bonds. Kmcnt objected to the approval of the bonds. He said that he had been Informed that Has call was not a resident of the ward and he wanted action postponed In order to have the matter looked up. Hascall Improved the opportunity to make a speech In which ho thanked the council for h's election and In formed Kmcnt that he had more friends In the south side than he- had and he would prcvo It before ho got through with him. The new members then took their seats , Wheeler taking the seat occupied by Coun cilman Howell laU year and Hasoall the one left vacant by Back. Whoiler also ex pressed his thanks to the council and de clared that his best efforts would be given to a reduction In the expense ? of the city and to the upholding of Its financial and commercial prosperity. This accomplished the council settled down to routine business nnd the big lobby of First warders who had dropped In to see that the purpose of the primaries was car ried out dropped out again , wearing very trmihlprl Innl.'B. SUSTAINED THE VETO. ' The mayor's veto of the resolution by which a room on the second floor of the city ball was set aside for an equity court room was sustained.

The mayor said : I herewith return without my approval concurrent resolution No. 4(1 ( , glvliifr permis sion to hold the equity court In the room now occupied by the superintendent of the city hall until further orders , for the reason that the proposal to the county commission ers for the leasing- certain rooms In the city hall for court purpof-ca has not yet been accepted by the county commissioner ? , and nlMo for the reason that no savin ; ? would be made to the taxpayers until the termination of the lcn < > now existing be tween the county and The Bee Publishing company. I also decline to approve thin resolution for the reason that the law ex pressly provides that "all the terms of the district court shall bo held at the county eeat , In the court house or other place pro vided by the county board. " Until the county commissioners take action In the matter nnd provide for the holding of the equity court In the city hall , the passage of the proposed resolution would seem to be n uselere. proceeding. In addition , to trans fer only one branch of the equity court Into one of. the rooms of the city hall and leave the other branch of the court In The Bee building would work much Inconvenience to attorneys , litigants nnd witnesses. D. W. Gilbert and F. W. Perkins were appointed by Mayor Broatch as members of the Board cf Engineers. In accordance with the resolution passed at the previous meet ing , the appo'ntmonts were referred to the oommlttco on judiciary.

A rcqncrt from the wmo company to bo allowed to ass'Rn Its contract to a Minneapolis concern was granted. The committee on printing recommended that -no action be taken on the bond and contract or the Klopp & IJartlett company for printing the annual reports. Chairman Burkloy took the position that the reports constituted a very large Item of expense anl that no particular benefit would accrue from their publication at thlB time. He- trcnchmcnt provc.l to bo a bad word to conjure with , however , and tfco motion to adopt the committee report was lost. U uas recommitted.

PAPERS BY DR , MACKAY AND OTHERS Hector of All Sit InIN" Would llnvc n Nuiiilivr of ClinrRcK .Mmlc "llrllMSyMem i * ComlciiiiitMl. ' t The fourth conference of the Omaha Sun day School association was held last night at the First Christian church. About 100 mem bers of the nssoclat'on wore present. G. Q. Wallace , presided , The meeting opened with a song service , led by J , J , Hums , followed by ocrlpturo reading nnd prayer by nev. W. W. Kvcrts of Ucth Eden Daptlst church. The feature of the meeting was a paper by Nov. T. J. Mackay of All Saints Episcopal church on the subject , "The Sunday School as a Nursery to the Church. " Mr. Mackay sa'.d ho did not mean by a nursery a place where children might be placed for safe keeping , where they would bo out of the way , but he meant to compare the Sunday school with n nursery where plants and trees were nurtured and prepared for life In the open world. Some ministers , ho said , opposed the Sunday school on the ground that there was a tcmlencyHo separate It from all vital connection with the church. While he did not think there was necessarily a tendency In this direction , he said that any guild or society that Old not work In the in terest of the church and as a feeder to the church was a nlenaco to the church. The Sun day school , he said , should not be regarded as a substitute for the church. Ho had found a tendency on the part of the pupils to .think that attendance at Sunday school ab solved them from attendance at church. This should bo checked and both services made attractive to the younger generation. He favored making the service of the Sunday ojhool the same as the church , and dcptu- cated the Idea of prov.dlng the Sunday school with jingles and rhymes as a substitute for music ol an attractive nature. WOULD LENGTHEN THE TIME. The speaker also thought the time of the Sunday school should ba lengthened. With only one day In the week for religious In struction ho thought one hour .was too Phort to Impart all that the pupil should learn. Some means should also be devised to Induce - duce the pupils to study tlie.r lessons at homo and to Interest them In the work so that the Sunday school would become a place where Iliey would like to GO. Ho then dwelt for sonic tlmo on the duties of the pastor to the Sunday Ecliool , and spoke of the dlmcultles under which the pastor laboreil In being oxpcted to assume full charge and responsibility In the Sunday school. The Importance of home Instruction was then touched upon , the speaker reading from the prayer book and rubric of the Episcopalian church to Illustrate his ideas as to the man ner of Imparting home Instruction to all the young. The plan of holding at least one children's service each month at the regular morning church hour was advocated by the speaker , and the advantages of such a plan in cultivating the love of the child for the church service was brought out. The man ner of Instruction In the Sunday school was * the next point touched on by the rector. Ho pronounced In favor of doctrinal teaching from the very beginning/ The children should be- equipped with the knowledge as well as the spirit of Christianity , lit was lust , ns ensv. hn s.ild. tn tench doctrinn as to teach facts. In this connection the speaker read extracts from the Episcopal catechism to show how his church inculcated a knowledge of doctrine during the earliest stages.THE THE THUE SUNDAY SCHOOL. He concluded his address by a brief state ment of what constituted a true Sunday school , one with a Godly man for super intendent , with true teachers and attentive scholars ; a Sunday schcol In which It would be the aim of the teachers ta make , true Christians of the pupils. In such a Sunday- school , he said , the relations between the teachers and the scholars would bo the same as between th ? pastor and his congregation. At the conclusion of his address thq presi dent called for discussion , and a number spoke on the several points brought out In the paper , all endorsing one or more of the points made. The president then announced for discus sion the subject "The Advisability of Ever Selecting Teachers , notj .Members of the Church. ' There was a general discussion of this subject , the- weight of the argument be ing on the negative side of the question. "Tho Merit System Its Use and Abuse , " was the next subject , and was quite gener ally discussed , the concensus of opinion be ing that the "bribe" system should not be tolerated. Several plans of encouraging , the children by giving them marks In a book kept for that purpose , showing their htand- lni In nnlnt nf nftfimlnnpfi. lr ssnns nnd con tributions , were discussed , each seeming to have warm supporters. After discussing the question "What Shall We Do with the Disorderly Scholar ? " ravernl plans being suggested , such as placing the unruly pupil In a chair designated as the "naughty boy'o chair , " etc. , the meeting was closed. WEATII OK AN OMAHA OY.

Will I.ct ATI ( lie Olil Onm Co tint lOar , The position of judeoef the district court In this bailiwick Is notln bed of roses , The recently elected mfrmljers of the bench have accumulated trouble that Is tar worse than Hnnquo's ghost. It not tnly will not down , but It follows them Into the retreat of the home and disturbs their sleep with visions of political clubs anil clubs of other varieties. And all because the judges have the appointment of a few bailiffs , These positions pay $75 per .month and are sought after as assiduously aa though they were worth millions. During the last campaign the candidates for judicial honors \\ero besieged by would- be bailiffs and asked to make promises to appoint the applicants. A certain political club , whose mcmbernhlp Is restricted to voters of a particular nationality , exacted a premise from ovcry candidate that ho would appoint a btlllft to be named by that club. U Is currently reported that nearly all of the candidates for the district bench made piimtsea right and left , and If the legion of men now seeking these appointments Is to bo believe ! several of the judges had a bailiff promlse.1 In every precinct In the county and city. However that may be , It Is a fact that these men are following the judges night and day and are causing the members of the bench much annoyance. It was announced some tlmo ago that the Judges had held a meeting and had made up a slate of balllfts who would bo appointed as soon as the next term of court opened , the new law regarding bailiffs making It necessary that they be appointed during a term of court for ono year , or during tbo plrnsute of the Judges. This slate has bc n smashed to smither eens , and at a meeting of the entire bench , held recently , another' ' slate W B mads up. How long this slate will exist Is a conun drum which no one about the court house will undertake to polve. As It stands now , however , It will wlps out the old fores wlfi one exception1.

Kerr to succeed Hiram Savage , who was alloncJ to resign. Judge Powell will be guarded by Henry Knodell , ex-mtmber of the Hoard of Education. Judge Fowcett Intends appoint ing his fathor-ln-lawF Mr. Lsslle. Judge Slabaugh will have a bailiff from Waterloo , a nephew of Ernest Stunt , also named Stuht. The criminal court will be regulated by Karl Bund , an elevator conductor in the New York L'.fo ' building for several years , and a member of the energetic political club referred to heretofore. George Sablno Is slated for appointment to the criminal court to assist the county attorney In lookIng - Ing up evidence. E. Wort , who was Judge Kcysor'a bailiff last year , will continue until h's ' term expires In March , when Charley Younger , the expert street ralluuy man , will succeed him unless the combination is broken. _ _ MiMliY HKAUS HIS TITLE Ol.KAlt. Iln.xtor l > ffio > H Unit lie AViiH Klefli'il ( iver Diiiicnn. The Duncan-Lenity election contest has been decided , ? o far as the county court is concerned. Judge Baxter handed down his decision yesterday , holding that the re count showed that Lemly had received a majority of all the votes cast. The con testant , through his attorney , gave notice that he would appeal the case to the district court. The greater part of. the morning was con- sfir.ed by the attorney for the contestant in arguing In favor of counting u number of ballot which had boeii thrown out by ths court for the reason that they were marked In such a way as to Indicate that they were so marked for the. purpose of Identlllca- tlon. On their face the ballots showed that Hm vntpr hnil inndci a mark nnnnsltn n names In the list of councilmen. Nine of these marks ere crosses and the tenth mark In each case was a blot , as though a cross had been made and after want erasoJ , whether by the voter himself or by the election board In order to avoid rejecting the ballot could not be established. When -the first of these ballots was ) discovered the attorney for the contestant raised tn obJectlon'HO countIng - Ing 'it ' and his objection was * sustalneJ. When the rount was completed It developed that there were over thirty of these ballots which had been cast for Duncan and only eight for Lcmly , enough to change the re sult. The contestant then wanted the court to count these ballots , but Judge Baxter refi'sed to reverse his ruling and' decided the case In favor of Lemly. . IIiiiimtoml'H Frli-iiilN Active.

Burke Collins' story o " " readers dream ol "A Glided God" did novel the wealth of material ready for some glftcO novelist's pen la the brilliant artist life o our own New Orleans. In a recent Interview by a New Orleans paper she said : "Of course , to a certali extent my characters are drawn from lite , though never cxict portraits. My favorite heroine Is Mam'sclle In my s > try of a 'Modern Heathen. ' No , I rarely urge at > - plrants to take up a literary career. Suc < cess Is obtained only at the price of the inos exhausting labor. " Although Mrs. Collins' writing has always boon a labor of love , yet such Incessant mental exertion could not fall to have Its effect on her nervous system. At one tlmo fche found herself tired cut and weak from her uninterrupted work ; eho became nervous and Incapable ) of work ; eho even saw nervous prostration staring her In the face. The general toning up that her fysti'in needed so badly she found In Palno's celery compound. ToJay she Is perfectly well and strong again , busy as ever with her brain and pen and grateful to Palno's celery compound for the timely help when failure and trcuble and despair pcemed about to close around her and shut her of ! from everything that was dear. "Your constant brain work must tell on your strength , " observed the reporter. "Yes , you have no Idea how much. I am at my desk for nine or ten houro a day , " she replied. "I am careful to obey the laws of health and I am never without a supply of Palne's celery compound. When I feel weak and nervous and there la a hcavlnesa In my brain or a shooting pain over the eyes , which warns mo that my energy Is flagging , I take a little of the compound , and I am strong and free from pain at once. I never enjoyed such bouy- cncy of spirits and soundness of body be fore I made the acquaintance c ! Palno's celery compound. Scarcely a day passes that I do not urge tome friend to take It. For neuralgia , Indigestion , nervous prostra tion and blood 'dltordero I am convinced that there Is nothing lllc : 1'alne's celery com pound. I am not E-urprlsed that physician : ' use It In difficult cases. " Palne's celery compound is found to best supply the great need of studious , sedentary people. Its extensive useby brain workers , both men and women , suffering from tileep- lessneps , indigestion or other effects of a deficient nerve force , shows Its ability to feed tired , emaciated , nervous tissues.
