In accordance with the report of the
committee on permanent organization , W.
B. Butler , better known as 'Squire Butler ,
mayor of Oakland , nnd William F. Sapp
of Council Bluff * were unanimously chosen
us permanent chairman and secretary re- , '
spcctlvcly of the convention. I
On taking his scat Chairman Butler mndo' '
a few remarks In which ho said It would ,
bo unnatural If he did not feel honored
In being selected to preside over the delib
erations of a convention of the grand old
party , the grewest party in the United
States , a convention of the greatest county
in the stnto and the greatest stnto In the
union. Ho hoped there would bo harmony
nnd that the candidates selected by the
convention would bo the candidates of every
republican voter In Pottawftttamlo county.
In nn Indirect manner ho referred to the
senatorial contest by stating that the can
didates nominated to represent the county I
in the stale legislature wouM have a
great vvoik to do , probably the greatest
work the representatives from Pottnwnt-
tncnle hnd ever had to do.
The committee on credentials reported
that over * proclnco wns fully represented
nnd that there were no contesting delega
tions nnd recommended that the delegates
ns reported to the committee bo seated.
The report met with no opposition , although
j It had been anticipated that there would
be contests from the Second precinct of
the Second ward nnd from the Second pre
cinct of the Fifth ward. The committee on
resolutions icportcd it would not be ready
to report until after dinner , so nt this
point In the proceedings , It now being a
few minutes to noon , an adjournment woa
taken until 2 o'clock In the afternoon.
. \f tiTtiooii Smnloii.
Immediately on reconvening tflor the
noon adjournment the conwnltteo on ree-
olutlons not being ready with Its report ,
on motion of 10. B. Hart It was decided
to proceed with the nominations. The first
In order wns for stnto senator nnd the
name of A. S Hn etton being the only
ono presented , ho vvns nominated by ac
clamation.
At this point Colonel C. G. Saundcrs , the
Cummins candidate who was defeated at
the caucuses last Friday night , was granted
the piivllego of the lloor and In a ringing
speech replete with patriotic expressions
asked that his name be withdrawn In the
Interest of harmony. Colonel Saunders'
speech was enthusiastically received and ho
was cheered \o \ the echo when he finished
tnlltlng
The nominations for two representatives
brought out four candidates , John H. Jenks
of Avoca , George M. Putnam of Grove town
ship , A. C. Rank of Garner township and J.
B. Mntlnck of Crescent. Ernest Hnrt uug-
gcsted that ns It was conceded that ono
of the representatives ns to be selected
from the town of Avocn , the nomination of
Jenks bo made by acclamation. This was
" done. When the balloting for the other
nomination wns commenced , the name of W.
B. Butler , the chairman of the convention ,
was placed In nomination. Mr. Butler asked
to be excused , but his friends persisted In
\otlng for him and he very nearly succeeded
In wresting the renomlnntlon from Putnnm.
It took three ballots to nominate Mr. Put
nam , but ns soon ns the figures were an
nounced the nomination was made unani
mous. The first ballot gnve Putnam 71 ,
Butler 67 , Matlack 23 and Rank 9. The second

The third nnd decisive ballot nominated

The following were placed In nomination :
J N. Fruhm , J. S. Morgan , the present in
cumbent ; Edward Slade , H. B. Crofts and

that the real fight wna between Morgan nnd
Cousins , it resulting 63 for Cousins , 48 for
Morgan , 24 for Slade , 18 for Croftw , 14 for
Fruhm nnd 2 for Mayne. The second ballot
gave Cousins 80 , Morgan 44 , Crafts 15 , Slado
16 , Fruhm 12 and Mayne 2. The break to
Cousins commenced in the third ballot , and
before It was counted there was a general
rush of the precincts to get into the band
wagon and Cousins wan nominated by accla
mation before any figures could be called by
the secretary. Cousins' nomination proved a
most popular on and ho was forced to respond
spend for a short speech.
I For superintendent of schools , the names

Neola and W. S Paulson of Council Bluffs
were presented. The first ballot gave Cook
67 votes , Paulson 29 nnd McManus 73. The

The extreme heat had nn enervating effect
on the aldermen nnd the regular monthly
meeting of the city council Inst night was
cut as short a.s possible nnd very little
outsldo of routine business attempted ,
The commercial committee In Its monthly
report called nttentlon to the fact that the
Flfty-llrht Iowa was expected to sail from
Manila today nnd suggested that the city
tnko some steps towardu preparing to
give , the soldier bojs n fitting reception.
The committee suggested that the mayor
tnko the matter up with Governor Shaw ,
looking townrds having the regiment
brought to this city and tendered n genetnl
reception , the bojs dispersing to their dif
ferent honicfc from here. The matter wna
alto brought up by Alderman Shubert and
Ma > or Jennings wns requested to at once
enter Into correspondence * ltb the gov
ernor on the subject.
The committee also recommended that
the council take action looking towards the
condemnation of the number of "rookeries"
on Broadway between tlio poBtoflice nnd
the Northwestern depot which spoil the
uppearnnce of the mnln thoroughfare of
the city. Bids for the laving of brick sldo-
walks were received from John Mulquoen ,
John Sklnkle , John M. Harden nnd B P.
WIcKham , They were refened to the city
engineer for tabulation.
John Llnder applied for permission to
oren a saloon nt 001 South Main street ,
but as the trustees of Trinity Methodist
church have filed , a protest , the applica
tion was referred to the city attorney.
The Union Pacltlc railway was given per
mission to cruet an Iron bridge at Its
dump at Thlrty-flfth street In place of the
brick culvert first decided on. The pro
posed bridge will give a forty-foot opening
which will be greater than that afforded by
n culvert.
On motion of Alderman Casper , It was
decided to discontinue the cutting of weeds
for the present , owing to the drain on ihe
funds of the utreetu and alle > s committee.
The committee on tire and Hifht wan
authorized to purchase 1,000 feet of new
hnso for the use of the Ore department.
Among the sidewalks ordered laid Is n
brick ono on the west side of Seventh
street between Tenth nvenuo and the
Plntsch Gns works. Engineer Etnyro re
ported thnt to Iny the walk on the estab
lished grade na ordered would bring It nt

iSOUTH ; OMAHA NEWS. J
Chairman Bulla of the buildings and
grounds committee of the Board of Educa
tion la advertising for bids for the con
struction of a sewer from the Brown Park
school building to connect with the main
sanitary sewer on Railroad avenue. This
sewer will be about 2,500 feet In length , nnd
the ostlmaited cost is something over $2,000.
By the building of tills sewer the trouble
about defective closets will be done avvny
with nnd flushing closets of the beat type
will bo Installed. Superintendent Wolfe
recommended the sewer , as did also Archi
tect Klewlt. A majority of the members of
the board favor the sewer , but a few are
Inclined to prefer outside closets for the
time being on account of the lack of money
in the school fund. When the sewer Is
built It will be paid for In Borne way nnd
will be there to stay , thus putting a stop
to constant complaints from teachers and
pupils about the foul air in the building.
Bids for the now school house nt Twen
tieth nnd O streets are also being asked
for. The deeds to this property have been
accepted by the board nnd the work of grad
ing the lots to the proper level is now In
progress. It is hoped that this new bulld-
IUR will bo ready for occupancy by Jnnu.
nry 1 , but unless work commences within
the next two weeks the etructuro cannot
bo under roof before cold weather sets In.
It is more than likely that the blda for
this building will bo opened ( it the next
meeting of the board September 11.
The work of preparing the old build
ings for the reception of pupils la progress
ing as well as could be expected , and when
the fall term opens next Monday a major
ity of the rooms will have been cleaned ,
papered nnd painted.
in connection wun tno selection or
Frank Soykora as principal of the High
school , there Beemu to bo a feeling of sat
isfaction that the trouble ever this ap
pointment has finally been settled , Mr ,
Seykora cornea well recommended and
Superintendent Wolfe has assured the
board that he will assume part of the re
sponsibility for the work of the High
bchool , Membern of the board bad two
other well known teachers In view for this
position , but one demanded 11.600 a year ,
while the other wanted $1,200. Mr. Sey
kora will be paid at the rate of $100 a
month , which will mean $900 for the year.
Superintendent Wolfe is confident now
that with new blood at the head of the
High school department the standard s t
can be maintained and that there will be
no occasion for complaint from either pupils
or parenta in regard to the methods em
ployed.
The talk about John Fltz Roberts resign
ing as president of the board seems to bo
subsiding , and It Is reported that he ban
reconsidered his intention in this respect
and will remain at the bead of the board
until bis term expires.
