The regular meeting OF the Lincoln Town
Council was held yesterday aft srnoon, with
President Comstock In the chair and all
the members present.
Rev. James v. Chalmers was present and
upon invitation Of President Comstock
addressed the Council. He drew the atten-
tion OF the members of the Council to the
promise they made the Union Temperance
committee last year, to the effect that they,
upon the evidence of conviction OF any
licensed liquor dealer In the town having
violated the license laws, they, the Conn
Gil, would vote to revoke said license.
The reverend gentleman had In mind
when he introduced this subject the re-
cent conviction of Henry Jackson of Man
VILE.
President Comstock said that, while the
members Of the Council were willing to
live up to their promise, 1t was q question
whether or not they could do 1t inasmuch
as there was no final conviction, and In
case they acted hastily upon the matter
the accused II victorious In the higher
court, would have q strong case against
the town. Councilman Lockwood spoke
In similar vein.
Upon motion of Councilman Robertson
the matter was continued until the next
meeting In order to get legal opinion
upon It.
The following persons were granted
building permits: First Baptist Society
for q parsonage on Lonsdale avenue; DR..
A. McGirtin, for six tenament house In
Manville; Fred B. Payne and Mary e.
Payne, for two Ice houses.
Adolph Jacques of Manville was granted
druggists license.
1t was voted to have the watering trough
on the Manville road removed and to en-
1t in q suitable location.
Town officer1 salaries to the amount of
S6O2. go were ordered paid.
Miscellaneous bills amounting to $84.6
were also ordered paid.
The Council then canvassed the voting
lists, but very few changes being made.
It was voted to adjourn to Tuesday, June
8, at 10 o'clock In the morning, to count
the ballots cast In the town election.

BY piece OF dispicable political chica-
merry the Democrats of tho fourth voting
district of Lincoln were deprived for a
time of representative on the official bal
lot, and the wrong was righted only after
energetic work by Frank Il. Fitzsimmons
of the Town Committee who appeared be-
fore Town Clerk Charles II. Easton yester-
day afternoon and fled the nomination OF
Joseph j. Manning as candidate for the
vacancy. Mr.. Corey resigned from the
ticket owing to the undue influence
