.LINCOLN'S COUNCIL.
Meeting Yesterday Of
DenniS'S MariOnetteS.
GIVING OUT HIGHWAY CASH.
The Old District System Again-Don't
Want Italians.

IL has been said that the Town Council
OF Lincoln is a deliberstive body. Well,
yesterday It proved ITSELF to be one. For
three hours In executive session it "de-
liberated"-or dickered would be the bet
ter word To express it-over the highway
funds and how to spend them.
The final result was that they went back
on their vote OF a week ago and adopted
the old highway district system.
The only change apparent is that Conn
| Gilman Lockwood seems to have been In a
position to dictate, and he secured nearly
treble what they we're going to give him
| at first.
Councilman Barker, the president, was
the only member In the chamb ber on time
Three Others we're in the building, how
ever, but they were closeted with John
Dennh getting their instructions. They
eve mutually made their appearance at l :15
O'Clock, and Mr.. Dennis came to the front
to see that they took their seats all right.
The Presidents gavel at once fell and the
records OF the last meeting were being
| read when Messrs. Jordan, Schiller and
Comstock sauntered In. Councilman
Jordan at once called up the question OF
High street, but he was ruled out of order.
Before this occurred, howe YER, he exposed
very weak spot on the part OF the town,
that the sewer contractor would have a
suit against the town for delay unless the
outlet was speedily agreed upon.
DsnnIs Was There
At the last meeting the matter was re-
ferred to the Town Solicitor and he did
not understand that a meeting was to be
held until Monday, Aug. g. certain
| town official asked IL Mr.. Bosworth would
| be at the meeting and an irreverent spec
| tator said no, but John Dennis would,
which was the same so far AZ directions
| ~ to what to do went. A general laugh
went up at the expense OF the town faith
ers bat that ended the incident.
A pool table license was granted Amide
Lupine and then the committee on jerks
Park said, through President Baker, that
they in "mistake" hired Henry Borden
to do police work at the park on Sundays
| and the "m,stake" was agreed to.
Highway Matter.
The highway matter was athe special
| cause OF this meeting, and at this point IL
came to the front,
Mr.. Schiller promptly moved for an ex-
| ecutive session and II was unanimously
| agreed to. Then began a secret session
which lasted from 80 until 80 o'clock.
When they emerged from the lower hall
and assembled again in their chamber Mr..
| Comstock arose, which was a cue to the
| outsiders that he made good his threat
which he threw out at the last meeting
after the adjournment that he would
know the reason why he could not boss
his section.
Mr.. Comstock, without trying to recon-
| slider or resclnd the action OF the last
meeting, moved To apportion the highway
| fund by voting each district as follows:

Justice Reagan of Thom:lsville has

Last June there was a case that came

"Ahem! WE'LL the court rules that You
should be granted continuance. The
Dream fishing season comes but one, Il
year, and a man can't afford to miss it,
On another occasion Squire Reagan
heard case in which there were no
witnesses. and the statements of plaintiff
and defendant We're all the court had to
decide by. OF course the plaintiff swore
to facts that were directly contradicted
by the testimony of the defendant. Here
was dilemma, but the judge was equal
to the emergency.
"Gentlemen,' said he, perjury is Il
very heinous offense and should never
be imputed to any man unless for good
and substantial reasons. Now i'll this
case the court occupies the position of
both judge and jury, judge as to the law
in the case and jury as to the facts and
the preponderance of the evidence. There
fore, as jury. the court, well knowing
the law bearing on the case, finds itself
unable to agree, and, us Judge, declares
it II mistrial: and again as judge grants
i, new trial before Il jury in this court at
the next term of said court, which now
stands adjourned.''

their claims and pretenses makes them the
subject of contempt and ridicule: but If
their mischieyous doctrines have taken

was an Expert Flatterer.

Lander, the essayist and poet, was a
self wiHed,, trenchant sort of man, who
.prided himself upon his independence and
ability to care. for himself. Yet, like
most men of this class, he was suscepti-,
BILE to delicate flattery, and was easily
duped by those who knew how to manage
him. r
He once fell into the hands of a Vene>
tan rogue, who read character at q
glance. and was both delicate hatterer
and manipulation. Landor was standing
in the doorway of cafe in Venice, watch
ing the famous pigeons Of the Piazza
San Marco. Suddenly an old gentleman
rushed up to him. Landor was an Apollo
in form and face, and he knew it. s.
Pardon me. sir" said the old gentle,
man, with more than 1talian sweetness,
"but will you allow me to look into your
eyes? All, I thought so. Sir, you have
green eyes. I never saw but one pair
before, and they belonged to. the Empress
Catherine of Russia; they were the most
wonderfully beautiful eyes in the world"
: The fattered Englishman pnid dearly
for two bits of information. He had not
only learned that his eyes resembled those
of the smart and wicked Empress, but
that he himself was 'green." The old
gentleman, while examining his eyes,
picked his pocket. -, - y Iz- s$ 2
