that there was no vacancy existing, and
the Mayor chimed in with them. Fin
ally, vote was taken on tabling Mr..
French's application, on the ground
that no vacancy existed, and all four
of the aldermen voted that way. As
before stated, the room was smoky. In
fact, the atmosphere was such that it
could have been removed in chunks,
and when this turning down became a
formal fact Mr.. French arose and read
a little bit of personal law to the coun-
Gil.
"a man can hold that office for
10000 years, gentlemen, the way you
have voted tonight. 1t isn't very
pleasant wsy of treating fellow, and
it is a bad precedent to set," Mr..
French remarked. cts alright; I can
take my medicine, but fair play is
good in everything"
Just before election Mr.. French an
nounced that Mayor Philbrick agreed
to corral the place for him in return
for Mr.. French's support. If there is
any truth in the announcement some
one has broken faith
Chief Of Police Crooks was reap
pointed to that position, but when the
question of patrolman came up Aid.
Aune had a scheme. 1t was to unite
the offices of patrolman and street
commissioner, and the scheme was so
original that the council voted to post
pone the question for a month in or
der to have time to chew on it. The
idea is to haye one man fill both plac-
es on one mans salary.
Mayor Philbrick announced the fol-
lowing committees for the ensuing
year:

BUEGHNER AND FRENCH.
Mayor phi1brlCk Again Takes Fall
Out of the Excellent ex-
City Assessor.
French's Application for Water
Works Superintendent Laid
on the Table.

Mayor F. w. Philbrick succeeded
in taking another fall out of ex Assess
or Henry F. Buechner last Tuesday
evening. Ever siuce Mr.. Buechner
raised the valuation of Mr.. PhiIbrick's
stock to point near where the assess
or thought it belonged, the mayor has
been laying for the gentleman with a
stuffed club. A year ago he cracked
Mr.. Bueehner with that weapon by
casting the decisive vote for G. V. Ev-
erett quicker than the average man
could say "Jack Robinson" and last
Tuesday night, when there was tie
between Mr.. Buechner and Stillman
Pollard, the mayor didn't ask the
council to take another vote, but simp-
ly remarked that conditions we're just
the way they we're last year, and then
proceeded to write out ballot with
the name of S. Pollard upon it. Cast
ing this ballot, he announced that Mr..
Pollard, having received the highest
number of votes. was declared elected
assessor for the ensuing year.
Aldermen Aune and Melges cast
the two votes for Mr.. Buechner and
Aldermen Moon and Hunter cast the
two votes for Mr. Pollard.
The room was smoky when the ap-
plication of Frank French for super

Mr.. French was turned down. The

PERSIAN RULERS JEWELS.
Fabulous Tale of the Costly Gems In til
Peacock Throne Room.

Fabulous Tale of the Costly Gems In the
Peacock Throne Room.
Who has not heard Of the Persian
jewels-their glory, their. number,
their priceless worth? When the doors
were unlocked and was taken into the
peacock throne room. l found myself
surrounded by a mass Of wealth I'M
equaled in the world. Nowhere are such
treasures, but nowhere also is there
such an accumulation of rubbish. 1
will, however, dismiss the rubbish and
refer only to the treasures. Down each
side of the room were chairs entirely
covered With sheeted gold, and at inter
walls were tables of gold, nailed, shud-
dered to note, with the commonest of
black headed tacks.
At the far end Of the room was the
wonder Of the world, the peacock
throne. Whether it is one Of the seven
thrones of the great mogul and was
brought from Delhi don't know, but
it is certainly the most costly ornament
that the eye of man can look upon. l
inspected it most carefully. 1t is entire
~ OF silver, great camp bed structure,
but modelled in lovely designs. 1t is in
crusted from end to end and from top to
bottom with diamonds.
At the back is star of brilliants that
makes you blink. The rug on which the
shah sits is edged with precious stones,
and the pillow on which he reclines is
covered with pearls. I could keep on
writing about the dazzling beauties of
the throne Of the king of kings, but I
never could get beyond declaring it to
be superb jewel. Some people have
valued it at e5, 900, 900. Us real value
is between So, 900, 900 and $4,000, 600.
But, though the peacock throne is
the magnum opus of the Persian crown
jewels, it by no means extinguishes the
magnificence of the other treasures
Who can attempt, however, to recount
the number of bejeweled arms, the roy
al arms, the flashing aigrets, the trays
piled up with cut and uncut stones and
the bowls filled with pearls that you
can run through your fingers like a
handful Of rice? Every one has heard OF
the Daria-iNur, or Sea of Light, sister
diamond to the Kohinoor, or Mountain
of Light. Every one has also heard Of
the Globe Of the World, made by the
late shah of rs pounds of pure gold and
81, 1856 gems-the sea of emeralds. Per-
STA of turquoises, India of amethysts,
Africa of rubies, England and France of
diamonds-and valued at e947, OOO.-

THE BEDOUINS.
Rifle Etiquette and Surly Hospitality of
the Tribes of the Desert.

Rifle Etiquette and Surly Hospitality of
the Tribes of the Desert.
I heard that the Bedouins gave me
the name of the walking Englishman
and once or twice were kind enough to
say that was one of themselves Tri-
ies like these are important when deal
ing with men who have the minds of
children. With them whether you are
to live or die depends so often on tri-
f1e THAI it is as we'll to have as many
trifes as possible in your favor. I wore
their dress in my trip to Siwas, not with
the idea of taking any one in at close
quarters, but Of making myself unno-
ticeable at distance. Igenerally walk
ed some way in front of my men and
camels. l did this because the incessant
drone of the Arab songs became intoler-
able to me, and as I found Abdulla
couldn't possibly get on without his
eternal song I ussd to put mile be-
tween US when the track was clear.
Once or twice, Oh reaching the bow
of sand hill, I would find myself in
sight of string of camels. The first
Cu1uS lu0 D6uOuluS WOu1U 40 was 10
load and hold their f1intlocks at the
ready. They meant no harm. It is the
ordinary etiquette Of the desert, at
which no one dreams of taking offense.
Then I would have to sit down to show
that l meant no mischief, and converse
ton would be carried on in shouts. I
generally asked them for a bowl Of cam
els milk, which they always gave if
they had it. On one occasion 1 came
upon a solitary Bedouin watching his
herd OF camels grazing. That man had
probably not seen human being for
weeks. He was squatting on the ground.
He neither moved nor turned his head.
asked him for milk, and he pointed to
his camels and said, "Take it. - AS the
art Of milking camels never formed part
of my school curriculum this invitation
was of little use to me- But could not
rouse that man to more active hospital
ity. He probably looked upon my ap-
pearance as an impertinent intrusion.

THE Institute.
Free Dinner to Farmers at the
Court House Tomorrow.

All arrangements have been per-
fected whereby those in attendance at
the Farmers Institute on Friday will
be the guests of the business men of
this city at dinner or a noon day lunch
en- that day, aside from receiving an
institute annual, valued at several dol
lars, on account of the information it
contains.
The institute will open at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning by Prof. O. e.
Gregg, State superintendent, who will
have one of the best corps of lecturers
on farm subjects ever brought to this
city. 1t will be business session right
from the start, and no time will be lost
in telling the farmers present some
thing new and of real value. At
11:3O o'clock, in one of the jury rooms
adjacent to the large court room, the
noon day lunch will be served. It
will consist of plenty of coffee, ham
sandwiches, cabbage and beet salad,
and pickles, all furnished by subscrip-
tons on the part of local business men,
and donations on the side by Wolff,
Southwick & Angel, who will serve
the coffee, the Palace Restaurant, fur
nishing the service of other edibles,
and George Lechner and Kuenzli &
Luscher furnishing salads and
pickles. Every person attending the
institute is invited to retire to the Jury
room between 1l:3O and 80 and OBJ
tain their dinner, and every person so
attending is requested to eat to their
hearts content. The object of the
business men of the city is to give the
farmers and their wives all that they
can eat, and to see that no one'goes
away hungry.
After dinner, or at 80 o'clock, the
institute conductors will continue their
work on the dairy, the fattening of
stock, the care of the farm, the feed
ing of hogs, horticulture and the like,
while over in the basement of the
Methodist church a cooking school
will be conducted by an expert in the
culinary line for the benefit of the
wives and daughters of farmers, and
all the ladies in the city who are anx-
ious to get few pointers about learn
ing how to cook. Every lady in the
city and country is invited to be pres
ent.
It is probable that grand free con-
cert will be given in the court house
in the evening. 1t will be under the
auspices of ladies and gentlemen of
this city, and if present intentions are
carried out it will be interesting
enough to induce every farmer that
takes in the days proceedings to take
in the evening affair. 1t will consist
of music aud readings, and probably
a few short addresses by members of
the State Institute faculty.
On Saturday the institute directors
will occupy the boards all day.

the custom in the past to secure license
for the summer theatre not because there
was any disposition on the part of the
owners of the theatre not to comply with

thoughtnothing about it. Now the question

license would be requested. Speaking of
the new theatre, Mr.. Cooling said that it
