THE PREStDEST GRIT
President Gilleland was revelation
to nearly all the members. Usually he
is suavity personified, but last night he
very naturally resented the rough.shod
manner in which Mr.. Cruise and his
followers endeavored to ride over him,
and he ruled things in u Wig
orous manner, keeping strictly to the
rules and maintained the dignity OF his
position in most admirable way.
All this, as before stated, was partic-
ularly CALLING to Mr.. Cruise and his Ohio
corniy returning board ideas. Mr..
Harrell started into the racket as
Mr.. Gruse's lieutenant, but he was
so surprised when the Chair threatened
him with the attentions OF the Sergeant,
that he almost entirely lost his voice,
and though Capt. Charlie Davis went
out and got him box of cough drops,
the talkative First warder was unable to
DO himself justice.
Mr.. Young at q late hour endeavored
to help Cruise out, but in the main
Mr.. Cruise did all the fighting himself.
Those in the lobby said they would not
have missed the evenings fun for five
dollars, and several sent word home To
their families that they would not be
home till morning.
Mr.. Maxwel's motion to consider the
ordinance before readiug the minutes
was defeated, and the long minutes OF
the last meeting were read, Mr.. Cruise
insisted that every word should be read,
asked explanations about various en-
tries and in other ways delayed mat
ters so that it took an hour to read
them. In the meantime scouts had
been sent out and the absent Demo-
cratic members drummed up. The Re
pubicans also sent out messengers, and
ut 1880 o'clock every member was
present except Mr.. Kraft, Mr.. Garvin
having arrived on the train from Pitts
hurgh. 1t was not until after IL o'clock
that the first section OF the ordinance was
gotten through with. The balance Of the
ordinance was disposed OF us the first
section had finally been gotten from the
hands OF the iillibusters, by moving that

away. There occasionally appear spots
on the sun into which the whole earth
could be thrust, and before the astron-
omer can make a drawing the whole ap-
pearance Of the vast crater has changed
The theory, therefore, that Mars is COM
posed of continents which are constantly
being changed in their area or submerged
by oceans must be taken purely az
theory. The astronomers themselves do
not agree, even in their observations.
Professor Holden, Of the Lick observa-
tory, says: "Out of forty drawings which
we have been able to secure since July 16,
no less than eight represent the continent
Libya in it's accustomed place" Perrotin
says the continent disappeared last April.
Mr.. d. Smart, of London, and M. F1am-
marion, of Paris, both confirm Mr.. Hol-
den's observations. Professor Holden gives
the most reasonable explanation Of the
disappearance and temperance of Libya
by supposing it to occur from the passage
of clouds. This is certainly more reason
able than to attribute it to overflow or sub
mergence. Meanwhile the world waits
for some remarkable discovery by means
of the great Lick telescope, which has
cost so much pains, and which is supposed
to unite such great advantages.

having separate motion. They may be
reversed at will, so that the spider may
be easily turned. The indentations Of the
wheels on the sandy sea bottom are less
than two inches, and owing to the buoy
ancy of the water the machine can be
moved faster in the sea than on the land.
It is intended in case of wrecks on a
coast with gently inclined beach to run
the "spider" out to where the vessel is
stranded. Where these wrecks occur in
depth of not over eighteen feet it is
possible to run the machine out and thus
afford assistance. But where there are
rocks or sudden depressions in the bot.
tom the machine would not be available.
Of course the force Of waves in storm is
tremendous; but it is hoped that as there
is free passage for the pillows through
the machine it will not be overturned.
Many wrecks occur very near the shore,
and people are often drowned or beaten
against the rocks.

Belated citizens returning to their homes

Of the rag mans den, bargaining for
the sale of their wares. To a junk
dealer land his tribe yearly increases
in city like Chicago almost any
thing is welcome, and he asks no ques-
tions. Lead pipe from a vacant house,
brass castings from foundry, patterns
in copper, pieces of lightning rods, old
iron of any description, paper in all forms,
from family Bible to the ephemeral daily
journal Of events, go on the scales and are
subjected to the relentless appraisement
OF SO much per pound. If the goods
offered for sale were stolen it is none of
his business. he asks no questions and

In distant lands away;

The stories he would tell
Ifound him good. l proved him true
How could love too well

A little bird sang to him and me.
We gathered flowers in the lane,
For twas the month of May,
And one year hence he'd come again
'Twould be our wedding day,
Oil swiftly did the hours fly
And happy was my heart,
He told me latter this good by

The little birds sang for him and me.

His ship moved out to sea;
Ny sailor boy climbed the mast head
And threw kiss to me.
'Tis twenty years ago since then,
And once again It's May;
The sun shines bright, the flowers bloom
My tresses all are gray.

But never my love came back to me.

McShane was born at New Lexing-
ton, Perry county, O., Aug. 25, 1850,
worked on farm till q years of age and
obtained but meager education at the
country schools. In 1871 he went to
Wyoming and in three years acquired a
small competence in the cattle business.
In 1874 he located in Omaha, foresaw the
great future of the city, invested his
lowest-following the great panic Of 1878
and now enjoys the rich rewards of his
faith. He is one of the city's most active
business men, promoter of the Union
stock yards, president of the Stock bank
and dealer in real estate. In 1880 he was
elected to the lower house of tie legisla-
ture, in 1882 to the senate and reelected
in 1884. In 1885 his party sent him to
congress, and now they ask him.t.to try
for higher honors.

regiments extending from the extreme
right three miles westward, in which
every regiment and brigade was COM
manded by men since famous, including
Lew Wallace, John A. Logan and John
M. Thayer; while opposed to them were
such men as the present Governor Buck
ner, of Kentucky; Gen. Pillow, Col. Ham
son, of the Second Kentucky Confederate;
Col. Cook, of the Thirty second Tennessee;
Maj. Brown, of the Twentieth Mississippi;
besides many other gallant southrons. It
was combat of giants. Many of the
survivors have since met in the halls of
congress or border state legislatures, and
for the most part with mutual courtesy
and respect.

to that point-in it were Col. Benjamin

Then Col. Thayer's Nebraskans were
started that way; but met the enemy's
center on the ground just left by Gen.
C-uft. 4 desperate fight took place in
the brush, and Thayer's brigade won a
decided success. Col. Thayer came out
of the war major general and was prom

state.
In 1867 Nebraska was admitted as q
state, and her first senators were Gen
Thayer and the Rev. MIR. Upton, late a
chaplain in the army. After an honora-

Thayer devoted himself for some time to
private business, always taking his share
Of political work, however and in 1886
was elected governor of Nebraska, for
which place he is now renominated. He
is 81 years old.
Hon. John A. McShane, whom the
Democrats have chosen to contest with

Powerful Glass of the Lick Observatory.
Points About Its Great Canals and the
Continent Libya.
Astronomers and those generally inter
ested in astronomy are eagerly expecting
some interesting developments from the
mammoth refracting telescope recently
mounted in the Lick observatory in Cali
fornia. There are two elements that en-
ter into observations made with this tel
escope which combined are expected to
make some remarkable revelations as to
the heavenly bodies, or at least some of
them-the great power of the instru-
ment and the dryness of the atmosphere
through which the objects are viewed.
Telescopes during the present century
have been remarkably developed, and the
most important single instance of this
development is the object glass of the
Lick refractor. Up to the year 1916 there
was no glass in America larger than s
inches in diameter, while - and IA
inches were the sizes of the largest
glasses abroad. The dimensions have
been growing till SO inches has been at
tanned in the Lick glass, or inches
greater in diameter than any glass
previously made. The other element
of advantage for this Instrument
the atmospheric dryness of the coun-
try in which it is located-has for
many years drawn the attention Of
astronomers to California. A dry atmos-
phere is beneficial in astronomical obser-
vation because of it's clearness and stead

These basques or coats are exceedingly
dressy and will be much worn this fall,
both for out and indoors, and there is no
figure that would not be set off by one of
them, if well fitting.
Very pretty basques for young ladies
are made gathered at the waist into
belt, below which is set frill of the same
material. 1t depends upon the wearer's
taste as to how much ornamentation is
placed upon the waist and sleeves.
In the way of trimming for handsome
dresses, the jetted passementerie has
taken new lease of life, but the beads
are only of the cut jet and of the finest
kind. The newest samples for the fall
trade show narrow borders in the finest
work, fneness being more considered
than show. There are also endless kinds
and patterns of passementeries, beaded
and plain in black and colors in close
cashmere pattern, in which all the colors
are so mingled as to be practically one.
On some of this are steel beads sewn
thickly, and with others are woven
metallic threads. There are also oriental
embroideries in many lovely designs.
These trimmings can be used to brighten
up old dresses, or those made over, and
they have the quality of not showing the
wear OF the material which other trim
mings only accentuate:
These same effects are to be seen in
millinery goods to a certain extent, and
there are buckles, pins and fancy orna-
ments all in the same close mixture of
tints and soft colors.

When never bird song breaks the silence deep
With vesper Groom, or gladstone sunrise hyn n

Upon the beetling, craggy mountain side,
And we behold the world stretch far and wide
But never voice falls on our listening ear;

And press hot kisses on the frozen cheek,
And know how impotent we are, and weak

That up from darkest deptns to US may float

And empty hearts and lonely lives, 'tis true,
