duy to recover S5.477.24 paid as special

covor represents payments on tho special
assessments levied by tho city between
tho years 1892 and 1898. Interest at C
per cent Is asked from the dntes tho sev
eral payments wero made. In one suit It
is sought to recover 12,324.40 and In tho

DE3 MOINES, Oct. 23. (Special Tele

today elected ottlcers as follows: Worthy
gruud matron, Mrs, Freda Oppenhclmcr,
Webster City; worthy grand patron, A. J.
Small, Des Moines; associate- grand matron,
Mrs. Jane Weber, Cherokee; ussoclntu
grand patron, Dr. J. C. W. Coxe, Wash-
'liigton; grand secretary, Mrs. Maria Jack-
sou, Council muffs. Sioux City wns chosen
for the place of meeting of tho grand
chapter next year. Newton was thu only
competing city. Tho work of considering
and adopting the new constitution was nn
arduous one un account of Us Importance
and length. It was taken up paragraph
and section at a time and consumed a
couplo of hours of the time of tho con
vention. The most Important change con
templated was In tho matter of delegates.
Severnl minor matters of routine business,
however, are altered nnd the new con
stitution ns amended will supplant tho old
one, which wus found lacking In somu es
sentials. The movement to docreuso tho
number of delegates to the grand chapter
meetings wns defeated In tho convention,
although tho committee reported favor
ably upon It. The plnn as suggested by
Judgo N. n. Hyatt of Webster City nnd
his associates on the commHteo was to
lessen the delegation from each chapter
so that It would be two Instead of three
members, cutting out the assoclato grand
matron. As It stands now nlmost 800 dele
gates are accredited tp each convention
and tho ofllclnls bcllovo this makes a con
vention too lnrge and bulky to be handlod
easily. Tho convention concluded Its la
bors this evening.

About this stage of the proceedings the
electric lights went out nnd many thought
that there waa some trick about the matter,
but investigation proved that the belt on
tho big Corliss engine at .the local light
Ing plant had sllppod and required a few
minutes to be readjusted. During tho time
the lights were out Congressman Mercer
kept on tnlklng ami kept tho audleuco l.i
good humor by telling ono or two good
stories. Tho Arlon quarter of York, com
posed of J, A. Parks, H. Seymour, O, W.
Boatmnn and A. E. Sedgwick sang several
selections, which wero encored.
When Chairman Llnd Introduced Con
gressman Cousins, the speaker of the even
ing, the applause was gratifying In the
extreme and It was Borne moments beforo
the house was quiet enough for the speaker
to proceed, He said In part:
"As I rode down through your busy
city tonight. 1 asked what that cream col
ored building with stone trimmings was
M
nnd Mercer told me that It was the new
postofllce building he had secured for South
Omaha, and that It cost $100,000. 1 want
to say that It Is a characteristic of Davo to
work for tho Interests of Nebraska and he
has dono It evor since he entered congress.
I remember being here four years ago and
speaking lu n tent on Twonty-fourth slreol.
Conditions wero different then. Now nearly
overy ono has work of como sort and times
In this bustling Magic City are better than
ever before. 1 am told that a man can get
work hero any time ho wants It, that Is
any man who Is earnest tn his destto for
employment need not bo without employ
ment.
"During tho last four years the employ
ment of labor has Increased mora than 33
per cent In tho United States. It does not
seem to me that under such a condition of
affairs there ought tn bo any need of n
campaign, but campaigning In this country
Is tho fashion and It has to bo gono through
with every so often. Thero Is, In my opin
ion, no better educator In the world than
the ballot. Tho American ballot Is tho
greatest educator known. When I think
back to four years ago I remember that
wo wero discussing the so-called 'c'rlmo of'
1873,' but I think now that a general ver
dict of acqulttnl has been returned on that
alleged crime, because wo never hear any
thing nbout It these days.
"Since tho last campaign thoro has been
moro learned by tho averago citizen nnd
school boy of tho geography of tho world,
of tho laws of tho world, of the peoplo of
the world nnd of tho Islands of tho sen
than had been learncl In any threo years
prior In the history of this country."
At this point Bonio one In the rear of
tho hnll asked: "Is there any moro money
tn circulation now than there was In 1S96?"
In reply to this Congressman Cousins said
Hint tn 1896 the circulation wns $22.25 per
capita, whllo on September 1 it was $20.85.
"So," ho said, continuing, "Mr. Bryan must
cover his 16 to 1 theory and erase his
warning about tho awful cnlamlty that was
to accompany tho gold standard, or else
ho must confess to tho people that he was
absolutely mistaken. If wheat docs not
go down with Its old chum silver, It Is
evident that our government Is not to bo
converted into nn emplro and even Mr.
I'ettlgrew, Mr. Altgold, Mr. Atkinson nnd
Mr. Bryan are likely to loso their visions
of a coming emperor In this country."
Following this lino of thought, Congress
man Cousins spoke of tho lmmcnso amount
of gold put In circulation during tho four
years tho republicans havo bad control of
affairs and of tho betterment tn tho general
conditions of ull by tho lncreabo In tho cir
culating medium. Mr. Bryan's lncreaso In
wealth was mentioned und It was asserted
that ho mado his money off from those
who still bellevo In the 16 to 1 fallacy.
In referring to tho Philippines Congress
man Cousins spoko feelingly of General
Lawtou, of Stotsenberg nnd of Logan and
his remarks on tho careers of theso bravo
defenders of the flag were greeted with
cheers. In concluding his remarks on the
Phlllpplno question tho sponker said that
ho know n freckled faced boy over thero
who went through West Point eight yenrs
ago and stood one.two, threo In his exam
inations. "This boy writes me," snld Mr
Cousins, "and I would rather believe what
he says than all tho statements mndo by
politicians of tho Tillman-Bryan stripe."
Along towards tho close of tho speech a
man named Sleelo In tho audience Inter
rupted and snld that he had been without
work for sixteen weeks. To put It In his
own words, ho said that he had been on
tho bum for this length of time and did
not believe In tho prosperity talk. In
stantly Congressman Cousins demanded
that the man glvo his nnino, saying that ho
would furnish him employment todny. Tho
crowd cheered nt this and within half n
minute Steele was offered half a dozen Jobs.
As work wob apparently In sight Steele
mado his way to the rear of the .hnll nmiil
tho Jeers of those who saw through his
play.
The address was one of the best delivered
here In somo time and received the best of
attention from start tn finish.
C. H. Dietrich, candldato for governor,
spoke next nnd wns remarkably well rei
celvod. Ho spoke of the national Issues
particularly and only Incidentally touched
on the state campaign.
A. J. Colcson, John F. Schultz nnd B. E
Wilcox also spoke briefly.
.IiiiIucn mill ClerUn Appointed.
County Judgo Vlnsonhalcr has announced
tho appointment of tho Judges nnd clerks
of election Five Judges and two clerks
have been nnme.il for ench of tho nine
voting precincts In tho city. Tako It
from top to bottom tho list is made up of
competent and capable men and It Is
naturally expected that the count of votes
will be cnrefully and rapidly made. Sec
retary Chlzek Is making arrangements to
receive returns from tho city at thu re
publican hendquarters In tho Murphy block.
More than likely tho head of the ticket
will bo counted first In nil the precincts
on nccount of tho grent Interest In the
olcctlon ot n president. Tho balanco of
the ticket may bo counted straight down
or ln sections, nccordlng to tho wishes of
tho committees In chnrge.
Advertise for IIIiIn on TIoiiiIk.
It Is understood that thu council will In
struct Clerk Shrlgley to advertlso for bids
for tho $70,000 district funding bonds
which are about to bo Issued. Tho ordi
nance providing for this bond Issue will
most likely be presented to the council at
tho meeting to bo hold on Monday night.
When n bntch of general indebtedness
bonds were offered some time ngo bids were
advortlsed fot and tho result wns entirely
satisfactory, but this plan has nover been
followed In tho handling of district In
debtedness, as there Is too much liability
of litigation. So many special district as
sessments hnvo been declared Illegal by
the rourta lately that bond buyers are not
overly anxious to take hold of dlstrlrt
bonds nnd thnt chances In this case are
that very few If any will be received If
advertised for.

day, which will bo on Novombor 3.
Mayor Kolly's suggestion that a count
be kept of party affiliations ns tho regis
trillion prr.teeds Is considered a good 0110
and It Is expected Hint nt least ono mem
ber of tho Hoard of Heglstration will look
after this matter In order that nil par
