The big pavilion that Is built on piling In thi ! water In front of the beach , and which afforded some Interest by Its pecu liar gyrations , has settled down upon Its original foundation and appears to have weathered the assaults of wind , water and big waves with but HUlo damage. The warcR did considerable damage to the beach on Sunday night. They rolled up on the beach to the height of eight feet and somu- whiit changed Us topographical character. No damage was done at all on the north eldo of the lake , except a slight derange ment to Colonel Reed's toboggan slide.

Schneider , which' was seized under a judgment secured by. D. W. Archer for $110. The stock had been appraised ! at $3,700 , nnd under the law it could not bo sold for less than two-thirds of the amount. The highest bid was $555 , and after crying It until ho was hoareo the clllcer was obliged to adjourn the sale. IJy the provisions oC the law It can now ho sold for one-halt of Its appraised value. The BhcrlrT had a very unpromising crowd to sell the stock to. Oulsido of one or two attorneys Interested In the case there were only two or three express drivers , several newsboys nnd Fomo street arabs present. While the olllccr was calling for $1,000 bids the audience got together and counted up Its available combined purchasing power. It amounted to just "C cents.

The Board of Commissioners of Insanity examined William 'Miller yesterday. Mllltr Ifl the son of "Sport" 'Miller ' , a former well known character. Ho was taken Into cus tody on Saturday night by the police , who foui'd ' him wandering about the streets gaz ing heavenward and talking In an Incoher ent manner. Ho announced to all who parsed him that he was looking for the approach of an airship that had been constructed Upon special plans which ho had originated and which was coming to him from a far away land laden with the choicest treasures and the finest of viands. The Investigation yesterday revealed the fact that the man's condition was brought about by lack of nutri tion ami mental anxiety on account of his failure to obtain employment. He Is 2G years old , with a wife and three small children. Ho has been without employment for a long tlmo and during the winter himself and family hnvo suffered for lack of food. Some of the man's neighbors have ascertained that for days ho has gone almost entirely without food , refusing to cat the little that found Its way to his comfortless home. Of Into all kinds of vagaries have taken possession of his mind , of which the airship was n prominent one. Another was that food would como to his barren table If ho struck the table the right number of blows at the proper time , and for days past he has spent his tlmo pounding his table through the day , muttering Incoherent charms , and his nights gazing into tha sky for the phantom airship. The charge of Insanity preferred by the man's brother was not sustained and the commissioners ordered his discharge after securing an order on the county poor fund for a liberal supply of good food. A request was also sent to the city olllclals to Interest themselves In the man's welfare to the extent - tent of aiding him In securing employment. 0X13 SCHOOL WAS IIHOWMM ) OUT. KITcetK of ( he Klooil lit Hunt Oiiinlut Olllclnllyollccil. . The Board of Education held Its regular monthly meeting last evening and dispatched the usual routine business. The Hood sit uation In Kant Omaha was brought to the attention of the board officially by a com munication from Member Spruit of the teachers' committee , announcing that the school house there had been drowned out and that the teacher had found herself to ho without a place to teach or pupils to Instruct. In this contingency the com mittee had transferred her to this side of the river nnd had given her temporary employment In one of the new rooms in the North Eighth street building. The board approved the action and agreed that she should remain until the waters subsided nnd the East Omaha school building again became accessible to the pupils. Member Moore , from the committee on grounds and buildings , reported that the furnace In the High school building was worn out ami that the boilers would un doubtedly be condemned at the next olll- cial Inspection. The committee was In structed to make Investigations and report at the next meeting of the board. A number of architects were present and submitted plans for the $5,000 addi tion ordered to bo made to the Twentieth avenue building , and the board held a lengthy conference with them at the close of the session , Sims , from the committee on text hooks , reported favorably to the purchase of $330 worth of supplementary reading books , and his report was concurred In. Superintendent Hlsey recommended the purchase of additional maps and globes for the UEC of the schools , five eight-Inch globes for the ward schools and one twelve-Inch globe for the High school. Also the pur chase of five additional commercial maps , the whole to cost $230. The secretary and superintendent were directed to procure diplomas for the graduating class. The question of doing away with the usual graduation orations and essays was settled In favor of the abolition of the prac tice and the substitution of one well known speaker. The announcement made that the pupils of the High school were planning for a "Shakespearean" reception to be given about May 14. Miss Webster , one of the teachers In the High school , has had pub lished a volume containing about fifty Shakespearean characters , which will bo used for the purpose. The proceeds will be used to defray the expenses of the graduation of the senior class.

XO'l'KH KHO.1I THIS DISTRICT COIJUT. MTN. Kiln. I'enlioily Scciiren Divorce unit Alimony from ( ' . C. I'ciiboily. Judge Smith took up the divorce docket during a lull of a few mlnutca In the district court yesterday and heard the evidence that Sirs. Ella Peabody presented In support of her claim for absolute divorce from Clarence C. Peabody. No dpfense was made and the divorce was granted. The only question considered at length was tbo sulllclency of the notice to the defendant. Peabody Is a nonresident , and service was obtained upon him by accident. Judge Smith held that such service would not bo sulllclcnt to bring him within ( ho jurisdiction of the court , but It would make his property subject to the court's orders. Peabody has considerable property here and the court granted the plaintiff $50 to pay attorney's fees and $20 a month as alimony until further orders. The decree also specifics that judgment maybe bo entered from time to tlmo for the amount as It betoms duo and his property can bo seized to satisfy these judgments , The plaintiff was also granted the custody of her three children. The grounds upon which the divorce was obtained were desertion and nonsupporl , The greater portion of the day was con sumed in hearing the arguments In the case of A. U. Wyman , receiver of the Iowa and Nebraska Insurance company , against the Into Joel Eaton , to recover payment for about $7,000 of the stock of the concern , which ho held during his lifetime. A demurrer was submitted by the defend ant In the case of Lizzie Smith against John Lliuler. The tult Is to recover the' differ ence between the amount of a'mortgago held hy Llnder upon some saloon property , and the amount it brought when It wan sold under foreclosure. Llnder held tbo mort gage to si-cure a claim against the Smiths , and when the property was sold ho made the terlous mistake of raining In bis bid the amount of his mortgage by over $700. The mortgage called for $2,300 $ , and Llnder for got to take a memorandum of the amount. When 'he came to bid In the property ho had the Impression that the amount of the claim was $3,000 , and ho wade his bid a trlllo over that tljjuro and got the property. The saloon people LOVA como Into court and uo htm tor Uili difference , xcs or TUB CITY couxcn , . Appointment of Ilnrdlii nn 8tri.-c ( SniiervlHor In Objected To. There was n full attendance at the meet ing of the city council last evening , the auditors being about evenly divided between the advocates of the construction of new side walks In various parts of the city and the supporters of a hot remonstrance to the elec tion of J. M. Martin as street supoivlsor. The broad claim was made that Mr. Hardln was not even a citizen of Council Bluffs ; that hf > had surrendered his citizenship here last fall by moving his family to another city , and had only returned this spring to become a candidate for the position. The friends of Mr. Hardln pointed out the fact that he had been a citizen and taxpayer of the city for nearly a quarter of a century and could not lose his citizenship because ho had sent his family away. The mayor announced the appointment of Benjamin Smith to act as special policeman and the council opposed tbo action. The Board of Coinmliloncrs of the Inoano an-1 Overseer of the Poor Huntlngton sent In a communication to the council recom mending the city to find employment for William Miller , who was before the com missioners ycstctday to bo examined for In sanity. Justice Vlcn appeared before the council as the special messenger of a number ot residents ot the Sixth ward who objected to the council's election of J , M. llardln to the olilce 'of street commissioner. The message he bore was In the chape of a pro test and was signed by a number of people. On motion of Alderman Casper the petition was referred to the committee of the whole for further Investigation. The ordinance changing the method ot fixing the liability of people who deslro to dig up the street pavements was taken up and discussed at length. An attempt was made to refer the ordinance again to the committee of the whole and to amend It by increasing the bond and fee for the priv ilege , but It failed. The ordinance was passed. A petition , numerously signed and backed by the presence of a number of residents , was presented , asking for the construction of sidewalks In the vicinity of Thirty-fifth street and Ninth avenut. Tliey complained that the city had falle.l to construct any sidewalks In that portion of the city nnd that their children were obliged to wade through deep mud to po to school. There nro no walks on any of the avenues In that locality. The walk was ordered. A sidewalk was also ordered on the east side of Tenth street between Avenues H and I. The contract between the city and the New Nonpareil company for printing the new or- dlnancu books "was submitted. It calls for the printing of 250 books to bo bound In cloth and 100 In leather at $1.50 a page. It was approve and placed on fllo In the face of the opposition of Alderman Casper , who Insisted upon the contract being awarded to the Franklin Printing company at 85 cents n page. page.PAVING RESOLUTION REJECTED. A resolution was Introduced by Aldermjin Graham ordering the pavement of North Main and Bryant streets from Broadway to Washington avenue , but the resolution was rejected. Alderman Pace Introduced a resolution di recting the street commissioner to distribute city work as far as possible among the laborIng - Ing men , giving the preference to men with families. Alderman Casper objected to the resolution , because It Interfered with the bet ter practice now In vogue of giving each man two days' work , and his objection was sus tained. The city clerk was Instructed to advertise for bids for supplying the Ice used by the city during the summer. The agreement between the park commis sioners and Leonard Everett for the new- right of way Into Falrmount was presented and referred to the committee on streets and alleys. Bonds of the newly appointed officers se lected hy the council were presented and approved , with the exception of that of J. M. Hardln , street commissioner. This was referred to the committee of the 'Whole. The bond of Sam Dobson , poundmaster , was ob jected to. and the discussion that followed gave Alderman Casper an opportunity to fire of one of his delightful bon mots. Shu- bert explained that the bondsman objected to was "one of your good democrats. " "I don't care , " said Casper , "if he Is a good democrat or a d d poor republican. If he ain't good , we don't want him. " Another lengthy petition from laboring men and others asking for the retention and re-election of W. G. Morris as street commissioner was presented and placed on file. John Oleson was granted a license to conduct a saloon at 1025 East Plerco street. The city engineer was Instructed to con tinue the work on Indian creek as far up as Oak street by the construction of dams on the upper end of the creek. City Attorney Hazclton reported the re sult of his mission to Des Moines tc/ secure a modification of the general Incorporation law affecting the charters of cities and towns , which ho regarded as satisfactory , with the provision requiring biennial in stead of annual elections. He was sure the legislature would not agree to any change In this provision. The committee on fire and lights was In structed to advertise for bids to supply 1,000 feet ot new fire hose. A new floor to be constructed of hard burned brick was. ordered to be laid In No. 2 hose house , the firemen to do the work If the city supplied the material.

( Special Tele gram. ) Assistant Attorney General Vnndc- vantcr of the Interior department today heard arguments on the appeal of plaintiffs In the case of J. M. Orcutt , mayor of Cham berlain , 6. D. , against Ji 11. King and others. The contest Involve * about 130 acres of land In North Chamberlain. The town of Chamberlain claimed the land under townslto entry for the benefit of Its people - plo , and defendants claim It Under home stead entries. The questions Involved are whether the land wna subject to townslto entry , and whether It was'lawfully entered as townslto before the homesteaders made entry. The decision of the commissioner of the general land otllce was In favor of the homesteaders. John H. King , and Attorney Hlvcrs of Chamberlain argued for the set tlers and the townslto company , respec tively. Major Plcklcr of South Dakota Is not overly hopeful of serving this administra tion In an oftlclal capacity. He has seen a number of choice positions which ho would have been pleased to accept go to other states , and this has made him somewhat doubtful If the administration Intends to honor him with anything ho would care to take. "President McKlnlcy talks fair enough , " said Major Plcklcr today , "but the places I would have are being filled with other men , nud I nm beginning to believe that South Dakota republicans are to be left out In the distribution of patronage outsldo of the Btatc.

SIOUX CITY FIGHTS OMAHA. Omaha and Bloux City got mixed today In the senate over Senator Allen's amendment to the Indian appropriation bill providing for a supply depot at the former place , and for a time It looked as If the whole matter might be crucified. The senator from Ne braska , however , with a fo.xlncss that ho al lows to become manifest sometimes , gathered force enough , on a vote being taken , to knock Sioux City out of the box by accept ing Senator Carter's suggestion to his amendment. Senator Gear of Iowa , when Senator Allen offered his amendment to the Indian bill , directing the secretary of the Interior to establish within sixty days after the passage of the act \\sarehpus3 for In dian supplies at Omaha , moved to substitute Sioux City , and proceeded to outllno , the ad vantages which that city Ijad .over Omaha. Ho stated that Sioux City had trie same rates as Omaha and that It warf In ' "closer prox imity to Indians than Omaha. This Senator Allen denied , and at once debate took a wide range , Involving the question lot railroad facilities of both places and the opportunity for the distribution of supplies. So they had It back and forth , Allen ifefcncllng Omaha , Gear standing up for the fowa town on the Missouri , Until Carter offered an'amendment ' vesting In the secretary of the Interior the right to supply from Omaha such Indian tribes as In his judgment \ylll bfa best served from that point , which Allen accepted. Gear moved t'o'lay the whole mittter cm the table , and on yea and nay vote being'taken , Allen's amendment prevailed , 27 'to if. with Car ? tor's suggestion Incorporated. ' The following western senators voted with' Allen : Harris of Kansas , Heltfeld , Pettlgrew , Uoach , War ren and White. Senator THIman , who voted nay on the motloa- table.
