FEVERISH FEELING.
still No Satisfactory News About The
City Bonds.
The CITY Treasurer Gone East.

There seemed little light to be gained
yesterday about the city bonds, or what
Mayor Vaughan was doing with them.
The council did not have a meeting to
consider the proposition of selling the
bonds at 80 cents on the dollar, not
deeming such a proposition worthy of
serious consideration. A majority of
the alderman having thus expressed
themselves, Aid. Munster telegraphed
Mayor Vaughan to the effect that no
such sale would be approved. There is
much criticism about the sale of the
$40, 900 intersection bonds, over
the telegraphic report of which
Alderman MINISTER crowed 30 Justify. 1t
is said, that they could have brought more
than par, as they were the best of the lot.
There we're many anxious to hear yes
terday whether Mayor Vaughan had com
piled with the reqest to put the bonds in
the bank subject to the order of the city
treasurer, instead of having them in his
valise or in the safe of the Aston house.
The bank was also telegraphed to, but nc
answer had been received yesterday.
City Treasurer Clausen, who is worried
about what his friends, pronounced the
unbusiness-lik transaction of letting the
bonds 90 from under his control, has
hurried on to New York to see
that matters are Strengthened
In regard to the paving which, accord
ing to Naughan's "hurrah telegram, was
to be started right up, there still seems
to BIO a hitch. The contractors do not
feel inclined to go ahead until they see
some further assurance that the bonds
will be sold, and the money forthcoming.
The citizens are very anxious to see the
bonds sold and the work proceed, and
there seems to be a unanimous opinion
that the bonds are good anyway, and an
excellent investment, but there Is
almost an equally unanimous
feeling hat the council went at it in a
wrong sort of a way to dispose of the
bonds.
The mistake of choosing any committee
to go east is conceded, and the further
mistake of choosing such a committee as
was sent is still further conceded.
The star chamber meeting at which
this action was taken Is said to have been
attended by Aldermen Geise, Keat-
ing MUNSTER and S~iedentopf, |
the two other aldermen being absent
from the city. 1t is said hat the motion
was carried that a committee be appoint.
ed by the mayor, and that 5000 be
given to pay their expenses, and that
the mayor appointed himself on that
committee. However that may be, the
four aldermen who attended the star
chamber meeting, and without whose
vote the matter could not be thus
are responsible.

KICKING ABOUT A KICK.
The Newspaper Fiend Has Judge
Hubbard Fined for Assault.

Yesterday afternoon an interesting and
rather ludicrous case came up in the po-
lice court. Judge Hubbard appearing
before the bar on the charge of assaulting
G. S. Clark, ''the newspaper fiend, F."
Spencer Smith appeared as attorney for
the defendant and Mr.. Flickinger for
Clark. The evidence showed hat Clark
was about to go up stairsinto the bindery
to see his sis%ter-in.law, who was there,
when the Judge Jumped out of his edito-
rial room, caught hold of him, and despite
his protests, showed him to the outside
door, and give bin two or three kicks.
1t was claimed that Clark had been no.
titled not to come into the Nonpariel Of
flee at all, and Spencer Smith, as presi-
dent of the company, had ordered him
kicked out whenever he appeared inside.
Clark denied having received any such a
notification or warning. The court held
that although Judge Hubbard had doubt
less the right to eject him, still he was
not justified in using any more force than
was necessary in doing so. 1t was very
natural when one man had got another
n as far as the outside door, to
have spasmodic action of
the muscles Of the legs
sending the toe against the elected mans
rear, but the wind-up Of the procession
in this way was not justified by the law.
The court did not deem it an aggravated
case, however, and in finding Judge
Hubbard guilty fixed the fine at So and
costs. This will probably prove the
closing chapter in the history in the civil
war. in which these two journalists have
been 80 prominent.

SQUEEZING THEM.
The Confidence Men Put Into a
Rather Tight Place.

The trio of confidence men arrested in
Omaha for beating Smith out of 1885,
seem to be having a hard time of it.
Their cases were pending before Justice
Schurz, to come up next Monday. In
the meantime Smith, the victim of their
wiles, has been spirited away or disap.
peared for some reason. Valentine, who
Is in the employ of the Union Pacific as a
special officer, has gone after Smith,
and expects to have him back here by
Monday to prosecute the fellows. Val
entine himself is an important witness
also, as he claims that the
three fellows wanted him to
stand in with them, and that they own
ed up they were confidence men, and
promised to divide with him if he did not
interfere. He claims that they also ad-
mitted that they had got 1886 of Smith,
and gave him $50 out OF the plumber,
which he accepted to fasten them close
Valentine and Smith being important
witnesses, and both being away, the two
naturally were anxious for a speedy trial
These follows always are in a hurry when
witnesses are absent, but Justice Schurz
continued until Monday, and fixed tho
bail at $500 each. They managed to get
their bail, putting up $500 each in cash.
or rather, it was put up for
them, Omaha sporting man
being tho chief hacker.
Two of them, however, were arrested
on a charge of vagrancy, their m be.
ing Hale and Robinson. Yesterday they
were brought before Judge A~ylesworth,
and through their attorney, G.. A
Holmes, they made a desperate effort to
be tried at once, but Smith end Nalen-
tine were named by the prosecution as
material witnesses, and the state by j.
N. Baldwin, fought for a continuance UNI
il Monday. The state gained the day, and
turn over Robinson and let him go to
Jail, thus letting loose $500 of the cost
bond, and then adding $500 in cash to
this $500 was raised for the release of
Hale, the slickest n of the party. 1t is
evident that they are 30 very anxious to
have their characters vindicated, as
honest men are apt to be, and that thoy
had rather sacrifice a few hundred dol
lars than be pinched any more. If Val
entine and Smith put in an appearance
Monday the fellows will doubtless fail to
appear. Ii not, they will have the case
dismissed and get out as sooll as posi-

Uncle Sans House,

When Congressman Pusey returned
from Washington he sought to calm the
feeling of this community and do away
with the disappointment felt at his fail
ure to get the additional 500, 600 appro-
p~riation for the government building
here. He gave the startling information
that the work would proceed just as if
the additional appropriation had been
secured, for it was certain to be given al
the next session, and the archi
tect would proceed as if it
was already secured. This
was thought a very strange statement at
the time. and The BEE showed it up in
that light. Mr.. King, the superinten.
dent Of the building here, has said time
aud again that he would only proceed in
view Of the appropriations already made
and now comes the further assurance by
telegraph from Washington, that the
treasury department has again declared
that the supervising architect, in prepar,
ing. plans and specifications for public
buildings, shall be governed entirely by
the amount of money appropriated
. by congress, without regards TO future
expectations. The people might as wei
> understand the matter fairly andsquarly

HELD FOR TRIAL.
NJ. j. O'Connor Committed for Steal
ing Hanley's Gold.

The examination of M. j. O'Conuor of
Nicola, on a charge of stealing over 5000
in gold of Mr.. Hanley, a blacksmith,
came to an end yesterday. The prose-
cution showed that Hanley had over
5000 in gold, for he had shown the money
to a hotel-man a few days before it was
taken. Hanley hid the money in the
bellows of his blacksmith shop, and as
O'Conner's boy had been hanging about
the place, it was supposed that the
O'Conner family learned from him
about the money. Soon after the money
was stolen. 1t was nearly all in $50
gold pieces. Immediately after the
money was missed O'conner began pay
ing off debts in $50 gold pieces,
in a few daya he had paid out twenty
eight $50 dollar gold pieces. One wit
ness claimed that he had overheard Mrs.
O'Connor say she took the money, and
Mrs. O'Connor was therefore made one of
the defendants. Mrs. O'Connor claimed
that Hanley did not have any such
amount of money, and that no such rob
berry occurred, but it was simply spite
work on him. He and his family denied
taking the money, and he claimed that
the gold he paid out was got by him in
his business of saloon.keeper. Justice
Abbott concluded to hold him and his
and wife in 5000 bail to see whatthe grand
jury thought of it. O'Connor declared
ne would not give bail. but would go to
Jail, and then seek release on a writ of
habeas corpus.

In seach of one sweet flower, to me most fair,
That in it's golden lovliness doth seem,
AS if 'twere dropped from Autumn's waving

Each morn with tender dewdrops it doth

At last found it in it's bright array,
Down in the meadow; and could not keep
From pressing to my lips each amber spray,
While my sad heart was filled with longing
deep,
As happy visions of my childhood's years
Rose up before me, bright and free from care;
And through the binding mist of my sad tears,

A face on which smile of beauty beamed
And once again those great, dark, tender,

~ This is st. Valentines Day.
The day received its name from
bishop who was decapitated at
Rome during the Claudian persecu-
ton. Many reasons have been given
to account for the way the day is
celebrated. 1t is stated by some
that its origin is to be ascribed to a
custom associated with Roman fes-
tival, held February IA, on which
occasion the names of young ladies
were put into a box, and then these
were drawn, in lottery fashion, by
the men. This practice continued
until it was grated upon a Christian
stem and given a Christian name
and the sanction of the church. as
many other pagan practices were
perpetuated. The custom of sending
valentines is very ancient. 1t is held
by some that the birds select their
mates on this day, and other equally
pleasant nonsense is related. There
remain, however, traces of this Gus
tom among the observances of the
people of Northern Europe before
the introduction of Christianity
among them. The day is observed
in commemoration of the good Saint
Valentine, whose loving and chart
table disposition may be remember
ed as appropriately in this happy
manner as in any other.
