The board then adjourned
After adjournment J. Fl. Stocker ac-
costed President Leonard and accused
him of selecting the expert committee
and running it without consulting
trustee Davis or the Water Committee
IN the matter, and Leonard denied
having done SO. Stocker reiterated his
charge and Leonard denied it, and
personal encounter seemed imminent.
Davis stated that Leonard had consult
ed MN in regard to the appointment of
the committee, having been added to
the Water Committee for that purpose
during Bentley's absence and that he
mad sanctioned the appointment.
Stocker persisted, and also charged that
the board had by its action shut out all
bidders except those having water-tube
boilers. He was told that members
asked, when the matter was pending.
whether such action would shut out any
one, and that nobody Objected

Handsome Woodwork.

Much admiration was expressed last
evening by the gentlemen who attended
the opening of the new barber shop at
o29 X street at the magnificent quarter
sawed oak woodwork. The diamond
shaped mirrors in the ceiling, with
electric lamps sparkling from the CEN
ter of each, and in short the general
fitting up of the interior, were all fa-
vorably mentioned, but that which elic-
tied the loudest praise was the hat
rack, twenty-seven feet in length, and
the supremely unique cup-case. OF these
two pieces of furniture, the tastefulness
of design and the beauty of finish,
leave nothing to be desired. They are
the work of the Capital Furniture Com
pany, from whose factory, at Sixth and
H streets, some of the most beautiful
specimens of interior wood finish and
bar and store fixtures that the city can
boast of have been turned out.

BOILER BIDS REJECTED.
Board Of Trustees Will Adopt New Speci-
fCatiOnS and Advertise.
Devine Wants the Gate at Seventeenth
and Y Streets Reopened, in Spite
of the Injunction.

After the adjournment of the meeting
of the Trustees to try the charges
against Officer Rutherford last night,
the matter of the bids for boilers for
the Water Works was taken up and
the opinion of the Corporation Counsel
on the question as to whether the vote
of to 3 on the night before to reject
the bids was carried or not, was read.
The opinion of the Corporation Coun-
sci was that it required five affirmative
votes for such a motion.
Devine then renewed his motion to
reject all bids, and it was carried by a
vote of ayes to / no, Kent voting no.
Clerk Desmond was instructed to pre-
pare specifications, with such assist
ance as he thought necessary, and the
board decided to advertise for water
tube boilers only.
In response to a question by Wach-
horst, relating to experts, Leonard stat
ed that he had secured the three ex-
perts who were chosen, upon the re-
quest of the Water Committee, and he
did not think they were men who could
be influenced.
A resolution was passed awarding the
contract for the sewer in the alley be-
tween Tenth and Eleventh, n and o
streets, to James Touhey, at a price to
be agreed upon with the Street Com
mittee.
Devine moved that the Superintend-
ent be instructed to open the gate in
the levee at Seventeenth and Y. He
wanted to know by what authority the
Superintendent of Streets had closed it.
Mckay said that Superintendent Gro
tn n A notice
had been served on the Mayor and
President of the board by the property
owners below the city He did not want
to be arrested for violating the injunc-
ton.
Devine contended that the injunction
did not apply to the gate, but the rest
of the board did not agree with him.
THE SEWER QUESTION.
Mckay said that the people who pay
heavy taxes ask that a sewerage sys-
tenn be built, at cost of $150,O00 or
more.
Devine asked who they were, and Nc
Kay said that c. w. Clarke and A.
Coolot were two of the heavy taxpay-
ers who favored a large appropriation.
Devine said they had only two votes,
and that would not carry the measure.
and Tozer said that he believed the
workingmen would vote for 100000,
and they would be right.
Devine was utterly opposed to run
ming in debt or bonding the city, and
Kent believed that the sewer could be
built for $685. 900.
Leonard said that the Superintendent
of Streets was putting down the cross
walks crosswise, instead of lengthwise,
as heretofore. Il was stated that he
had done so on recommendation of the
Bureau of Highways, but the bureau
was not running the city.
The following communication from the
Chamber of Commerce was read and
placed on file:

Only Two DAYS.

An injustice was unintentionally done
to Attorney General Fitzgerald yester-
day morning in an article in the
Record Union" relating to delinquent
take liens, in which the impression was
given that he had been dilatory in Civ
ing an opinion on the question to the
Controller. AS a matter of fact the
question was only submitted to the
Attorney-General on the Dist, and he
save the opinion in two days after he
received the communication.

Gladness Comes

XHTith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease. one
NAV be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

POINTS IN POLITICS

that many prominent Mckinley men
were left OF to make places for promi-
nent Manderson men. IL has even been
minated that there might be an at
tempt to use the delegation in Mandsr-
sons interest, or to antagonize Senator
Thurston. But there need not be any
fear that Mr.. Kennard's delegation will
attempt to do either Of these things.
The men who compose the delegation
are wise enough lot to follow su:h q
course. even il they so desired. and it 10
not probable that they have had any
intention Of doing anything against
McKinley's interest or against the peace
Of the party.
Mr. McClay, Lancaster's candidate
for auditor, is early in his field with
delegation pledged to give him it's undi-
eided support. He has decided advan-
tage in this fact.
There has been some talk OF an at
tempt to prevent Bud Lindsay from be-
ing elected delegate at the Tecumseh
convention. But as Lindsay has the
votes necessary to elect it is not easy to
see just how such an attempt could be
successful.
The result OF tuesdays election was
not surprising. In the face Of concen-
trated opposition every republican nom-
in-e was elected, and Frank Waters,
upon whom the principal fight was
made, had several hundred votes to
spare. The vote was unusually light.
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1896-04-11

The recent county convention 10 still
an interesting "reminiscences. 1t bro ught
out and emphasized the many object
ions to the convention system. 1t
made friends for the Lincoln system.
The trading OF votes was carried to
such an extreme that individual pre-
ference was almost entirely lost
sight OF. Delegs ties were. in most in
stances, as 90 many wooden chips, to
be disposed OF 10 bundles by the can
didates. When the individual pref
erence confiicted with this Wholesale
disposal Of votes and the individual
preference insisted on making itself
felt the convention yelled "treason"
'treachery" and other p lessant things.
1t has been q matter OF surprise to
many people that Mr.. Gere anG Mr..
Whedon were unsuccessful as against
Mr.. Kennard and Bud Lindsey. Mr.
Gere and Mr.. Whedon waited for the
to coms to them. Me-. Ksn
nard and Bud Lindsey worked to Sc
cure the nomination. They entered
entered into combinations and trades.
1t is not surprising that the two men
who worked were uccessful while
those who did not work were unsuc-
cessful. In Lancaster county the prac-
tice OF passing Offices or nominations
around on platters has long since been
discontinued.
Mr.. Kennard has been criticised for
the makeup Of his delegation to the
state convention. 1t has been alleged

st. Theresa's pro- Cathedral and at Holy
Trinity. l hear that their respective
choirs under the direction Of Messrs
Clemens Movius and H. j. W. Seamark
gave special music Of high order.
The music at the Universalist church
was little above it's usual standard of
excellence-this in itself is praise
enough. In addition to the strong and
smooth performance of the string quar-
tet, which steadily gains in accuracy and
finish. Serenade for Flute and Horn
wac played by Messrs. Harvey Knight
md George Abbott. This composition
by Till was light and pleasing rather
than especially profound, but coming
Immediately after string quartet gave
a charming change Of tone color. The
vocal soloist, Miss Helen Lundeen, a
pupil, / believe, OF Miss Morley, sang in
diligently and with good tone produc
ton sacred song of Paul Rodney. The
young girls forming the regular choir at
these services sang very sweetly two
q"artets for womens voices. Portions
OF quartets from Haydn and Beethoven
were the pieces de resistance for the
strings. and altogether the Easter ser
vices at the Universalist church were
very good.
This is busy week for the recorder
OF musical events. On Monday evening
a semi public performance was given at
the Universalist chuch by the ladies Of
the Matinee Musical. Despite its
length successful program was pre-
sented This club is especially strong in

the impression that the voice and style

song with good effect. The accompan.
