PROTEST. TURNED DOWN.
Kansas Avenue to Be Paved South Of
Tenth.

At the meeting of the streets and
walks committee held Friday afternoon,
the protest against the pavement Of
Kansas avenue south of Thirteenth
street, was turned down.
The committee held that no action
could be taken to reduce the width OF
the street without invalidating the
whole of the proposed Kansas avenue
pavement. The only thing left for the
objectors to do is to take it's protest
into court and stop the work by injunc-
ton.
A protest was also received against
the proposed pavement on Buchanan
from Sixteenth to Twentieth, and the
committee refused to consider it on the
ground that it was received after the
expiration of the 20 day limit for pro-
tests.

made short talks expressing their highr re.

their gratitude for the great good done
by both, not only in the club but in the

Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis,
Hay Fever, Catarrh, Coughs,

The Deadlock.
The Lincoln Journal speaking of the
appointments this morning, says:
The division of three republicans,
three democrats, two populists and one
gold democrat was arrived at after cen.
siderable difficulty. According to re.
ports there were originally four republi.
cans on the list, Judge j. b. Barnes OF
Norfolk, and the three who were ap.
pointed.
Judge Norval is said to have suggested
the appointment of j. H. Ames but
Judge Sullivan did not desire Mr.. Ames
to be credited as a democrat and ovel
this point the appointments all hung
fire until Mr.. Barnes name was drop.
ped from the list to make way for the
selection of Mr.. Ames.
Judge Norval is SAID to have declared
that after the selection Of eight men
had been agreed upon, four republicans
and four fusionists, the ninth mar
ought to be selected from among those
who are not identified with any of the
political parties. He suggested Mr.,
Ames as such a man. The f%usionists
resisted this on the ground that Mr.,
Ames. while formerly a democrat, had
voted recently for Mckinley and his
selection would in effect give the re.
publicans five commissioners and the
f%usionists four. The f%usionists won out
with five commissioners, but Judge Nor.
val gained his point by securing the ap.
pointment of Mr.. Ames.

Barnes after the appointments were
