For Councllman-nt-T.nrco
DANIKL II.
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. Ayes , Allan , " Axford ,
Blngbam , Burmelstcr , Christier'Jayncs , Kcn
nard , PrlncoTaylor , Saunders 10. Nays ,
Benawa , Burkley , Kmont , Lemly , Mercer ,
Thomas C. 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.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONFERENCE
Meeting of the Omaha Association Last
Evening.
PAPERS BY DR , MACKAY AND OTHERS
Hector of All Sit InIN" Would llnvc n

"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.

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. Charles Vv'lllard , who was
Judge Duffle's ball'IT last ycnr. IH slated for
rcappolntment by Judge Dickinson. Judge
Scott has already appointed E. W. 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.

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

pearance of Mrs. E. 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. Noth
ing else has over posseted anything1 llko the
power of Palne's celery compaind to re-
sto-o a healthy nervous tone to the entire
body and to thoroughly cleanse the blood.
School tejchori' , professional men , news
paper men , ministers , public officials , men
whoso dally outlay cf vitality , because of
hard , trying , anxious work , la excessive ,
find renewed strength , not only of the nerves ,
but through this healthy actlcn , of the entire -
tire body. In Palne's celery compound. Its
use. shortly dispels headaches , rheumatic
