The annual election of Omaha Wheel club
officers took place last evening, twenty-five
members being present. The following
officers were elected: President, +. N.
Clarke; vice president, A. ID. Hughes ;,secre-
tary, Perry Bodolleti treasurer, G. Q. Fran
cisco; captain, +. Il. Mittauer. The buglers,
lieutenants and color bearer to be appointed
by the captain.
M. Fl. Wheeler from Lincoln. was in
town last week and, strange to say, did not
have his bSke with him. Tom Patterson also
dropped in on us, and as usual was ready for
ride on minutes notice. Mr.. Patterson
rioes a star now, but none have heard him
express himself on the superiority Of il over
an ordinary.
There are from ten to fifteen wheelmen
seen crossing the bridge daily, morning and
night. Right there is indueemcnt enough to
offer any one to live in the Bluffs only twenty
minutes ride and not in crowded car either
Prof. Gwathmey, after learning to ride
the safety, vowed he would master the Ordi-
nary, and did SO after one trial He says he
wishes he had never straddled rober, for
now he can't make up his mind what type
machine he wants to buy. AS he is very ac-
tive the boys have concluded he will get an
ordinary.
We haven't seen anyof the tandems out
on our streets. That is to say,.with fair,one
on the front seat. 1t is said that the tandem
has fallen from good grace and the ladies
safety bicycle has taken its place several of
which are anxiously looked for daily by those
having ordered them.
Ii the ladies safety be ever ridden extern
sively in Omaha wont the wheel club have to
have ladies' division in their club. Phila-
delphia and Washington CLUBS have made
provisions for lady members, and have a
great many.ladies now on their rolls.
The captain of the Omaha Whell club has
called run to Bellevue and return for to-
day, to leave the club rooms at o 80 a. m.
sharp and return in time for dinner. 1t is
numbers and give the new captain boost.
What are the Council Bluffs Ramblers
going to do this seasonl They have not yet
been seen on the road as club. Speaking
of Council Bluffs Ramblers leads to Lake
Manawa. Prominent business men of the
Bluffs are working for paved road to the
lake, and it is to be hoped the scheme will be
carried through. Not alone would the wheel
men of the town appreciate the run, but all
horsemen as well. BY all means push the
matter. OF course, Sherman avenue would
then be deserted, and Mercer would be salts
fled.
Things would like to see James Joseph
ride a smaller wheel. DR.. Conner wear his
club cap. Walt Morris machine dirty. Frank
Mituaur ride in his old form of two years
ago. G. o. Francisco ride fifty y-inch
wheel, and Ed Smith fiftyeight. That
new machine Ed Lyttle has coming from the
repair shop. viii Urlan enter and start in

Sights, Incidents and Occupants OF
the County Building.
WHERE JUSTICE RESIDES
The Loungers in the Lobby, the
Official Financiers and Other
Employees of the City
and the Shire.
The Big House on the Hin.

The great stone structure up on Far
nam street, between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth, occupied by the officials OF
.}ouglas county and known as the
county building, is q busy hive OF in
dustry from o'clock in the morning
until in the afternoon Of every day in
The week except Saturday.
Numerous are the kinds and condi-
tions OF men who daily mount the long
stone stairways which lead from the
street to the main entrances OF the
building. There are three of tho lat
ter, but the most used leads from Far
nam street to the north entrance.
Well known lawyers who have
grown gray in their profession
and have earned by hard
knocks and perseverlng toll alone the
laurels they now wear; others OF the
same calling who, either through in
ability or lack of application, have lost
the one opportunity and now as con-
sequence, can but earn precarious
livelihood by doing the menial work OF
their profession; young, ambitious STU
dents fresh from the law offices, who in
the county building behold an image OF
the capitol at Washington and per-
chance the white house; mendicants
seeking aid from the county, clerks OF
both sexes, men of business and men OF
idleness, loafers i'm fact, and all sorts
and conditions of men, daily climb those
wearisome stairways into the great
building.
The courtrooms, naturally enough,
are the primary attraction to the idle,
aud more particularly is this true OF
Judge Grotf's room where the
criminal cases are heard. Many a
poor sinner has been sent out
of that room to n life OF penal servi-
tude, amid the gaping curiosity of the
morbid tbrong that daily gathers there.
There are habitues OF the place that
become nearly as much part oil the
regular fixtures as the chairs, and
whose absence. should they chance to
miss q day, would probably not only be
mentally noted by the bailiffs, but by
the judge himself, in much the same
from the wall. Upon cold and stormy
days the room is filed with motley
crew Of loungers who have no better
place to go. Hour in and hour out,
they listen, with more or less attention,
to the cause being heard, but, as far as
their presence Is concerned, ii makes
but little difference whether the case Is
murder trial or an action OF the most
trivial Importance. They are there
just the same, evincing the greatest in
terest and impartiality.

the Death OF Justice Matthews.
WASHINGTON. April 6.-The meeting of the

ance was small. The following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved, That the bar of the supreme
court of the United States deeply deplore the
decease OF Justice Matthews, whereby the
country has lost an always patriotic and re-
specred citizen, alike eminent in his public
and private career; the bar one of its long
time leaders, conspicuous as an example of
tho best relations of our profession with the
administration of justice, and the court itself
learning and industry TO the place he held in
the highest judicial tribunal Of a great ma
tion. His name is rightly enrolled among
those honored by their countrymen.
Resolved, That the bar present to the
family Of the departed justice its sincere
sympathy and confidence in their bereave-
ment.
Resolved, That the attorney general be re-
quested TO present these resolutions To the
court for such consideration as may be fit,
Resolved, That the chairman be requested
to transmit copy hereof to Mrs Matthews.
Eulogistic addresses were made by Sena-
tor Edmnnds, Judge Hoadley, General f.. b.
Mussey, w. - Flippen, OF Tennessee; Con-
gressman breckenridge, Ex-senator Nc
Donald aud others. Senator Eyarts pre-
sided.
When the hour of Q O'Clock arrived the
time set for meeting Of the bar in respect
TO the memory of Ex-Justice Campbell, the
attendance of the morning had diminished
perceptibly. George 7. Curtis was called to
the chair, and Assistant Attorney General
Maury read the preamble and resolutions Of
respect TO the memory Of the dead Justice.
Eulogistlc addresses were delivered by ex-
Governor Hoadley, Senators Eyarts and
Edmunds, ana Mr.. Curtis. after which tho
resolutions were adopted and the meeting
