MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

The city council held a regularmeeting- - last night,' all membersbeinrr present. After the minutesof the previous meeting had beenread and approved, Fikes movedthat a donation of $50 be made thechief of the fire department. Scottmoved to amend by pro rating theamount to the several persons whohad served in that capacity duringtbg fiscal year. Scott's motion wasnot seconded, and the originalmotion prevailed.

The clerk read a letter from H,

tC. Charles & Co., of Chicago, quoting street lamps at i?4 eacli whentaken in quantities. The letterwas ordered filed. The committeeto which had been referred theproposition of the water company,was not ready to report, and asretiring councilman Iddings was amember of that committee, it willbe necessary for; the mayor to ap-

point a member to fill the vacancybefore the proposition, can be re-

ported upon.After approving several claims,

the council took a recess in order to--

allow the clerk an opportunity towrite up the minutes of the meet-

ing. This being done, the minuteswere approved and the old counciladjourned sine die.

The new council was then calledto order and the oath of office ad-

ministered to the mayor, clerk Keithand councilmen Scott, Hall andSchatz.

John H. Day, upon motion ofScott, ' was unanimously electedpresident of the council.

Mavor Baker stated that he wasnot ready to nominate a city at-

torney at that time. He also statedthat he had been re-elect- ed mayorby a nice majority and he took thisas evidence that the administrationot city affairs was satisfactory tothe people. He would thereforere-appo- int the present marshal andnight policeman.

At this juncture Thomson movedfor an adjournment, but the motionwas not seconded.

The mayor then presented thename!!af W. R Morgan for marshaland the uppointment was confirmedby the council, Day. Schatz, Thom-son and Scott vote aye and Halland Johnson no.

The appointment of John Davisas night police was also confirmed,all voting aye but Johnson.

JR. L. Graves was nominated forchief of the fire department andunanimously confirmed.

The mayor then announced thefollowing committees: JudiciaryJohnston, Hall and Dav; FinanceDay, Thomson and Schatz: PublicImprovements Thomson. Da' andJohnston; Police Scott, Schatz andJohnston; Claims Schatz, HollandScott. Sidewalks Johnston, Hairand Schatz; Streets and GradesThomson, Schatz and Scott; Privi-leges and Elections Schatz, Scottand Hall; Fire Scott, Thomsonand Day; Water Day, Johnston andScott.

Scott said that certain streets inthe west end of the city had beenenclosed with a barb wire fence,and moved that the marshal be in-

structed to remove the same. JudgeHinman was present and statedthat he had fenced these streets forthe reason that he was the ownerof the lands contiguous andhad executed a deed of vacationthereon. As no formal complaintagainst the action of Mr. Hinmanhad been filed, no definite actionwas taken in the matter.

After referring the bonds of thenewly elected officers to the propercommittee, the council then ad-

journed.

THE ENGINEERS' MAY PARTY.The fourteenth annual May Party

of the Brotherhood of Engineers atthe opera house Friday eveningproved to be what all precedingones had been the real social eventof the year. JThe knights of thethrottle spare neither time nor ex-

pense in arranging for these partiesand the pride they take in furnish-ing the public with a ball completein every detail is to be commended.

As has been the custom for sev-

eral years past, the ball was pre-ceded by a concert. Usually themusic for these occasions has beenfurnished by out-of-to- wn orchestras,but fortunately North Platte nowhas a musical organization the peerof any in the state outside of Oma--tha and Lincoln, and we can assureProf. Garlichs that the music ren-

dered by the members of hisorchestra has never been excelledin Noith Platte. Equally enjoyablewere the selections of the juvenileorchestra, the solos by MissesKebhausen and Bristol and the

recitation by Miss,Murphy.At the conclusion of the concert,

the grand 'march was formed, inwhich about eighty-fiv- e couplestook part, and with the exceptionof an intermission for supper atmidnight, the twenty-fou- r danceson the programme followed eachother in rapid succession. Prior tomidnight there were over one hundred couples on the floor and thegalleries were crowded, but afterthat hour there was a thinning outof the crowd, due to the fact thatfor many Saturday is a busy day anda ffood night's rest was to themnecessary. The floor, however.was well filled after supper, andthe last dance on the programmewas apparently as much enjoyedas the first one.

The hall was tastefully decorated,tne music entrancing, tne nopr inexcellent shape, the committeespolite and active, the ladies sweetlooking in their handsome gowns,the gentlemen gallant what morecould be asked in order that thecup of happiness mig-h- t be full?Nothing, absolutely nothing. Theevent was one of unalloyed enjoyment to all, and the committeescan rest assured the May Partywas a great success.

BAHT IN NEBRASKA.

It has been raining in Nebraska,and the grass is growing beautifully,and the air is salubrious; the treesare radiant in their emerald garb;the brooks that erst were sicklyand doddering, are rippling merrilyto the sea: the soil is soaked down

the bottom, the chinch bugs aredrowned out, and all nature seemsto say ha ha, or words that effect.

It has been raining in Neberaskaand even the sandhills rejoice, andthe waste places are glad; Nebraska smiles and says to the people ofthe world: Come to me and squaton my bosom, and I will take careof you, even as a speckled hen gathers her chickens under her wingand crushes them. Nebraska speakswith the voice of angels, and bidsthe wanderers come. There isroom for the wholejnenagerie, andevery man may become rich and asindependent as a hog on ice.

It has been raining in Nebraskaand the dust is laid; the wind noonger catches up real estate andwhirls it aloft as the blasts of Oc-

tober sieze the dead leaves andscatter them far o'er the ocean.The land is alive with poetry andsong and the esctacy of a certainhope. The farmer drives his teamafield and whistles; the merchantcleans up his windows and prepares to receive customers; thepreachers throw more enthusiasminto their sermons. Everybodyfeels better, and even the railway

anagers will issue a pass, occasionally if you pull their legs theright way.

It has been raining in Nebraskaand the fellows who went away tobetter their fortune in the land ofjack oak apples and big red brush

e looking with ineffable longingto the country they abandoned.They see the prairie beautiful andverdant; they see the country radiant with promise, and they hire abig husky man to kick them as fewmen have been kicked since theworld began.

It has been raining in Nebraskaand that means everything. If itkeeps on raining we'll have moneyo throw at the birds this fall.Rain is the stuff. Walt Mason

in the Lincoln Journal.Dr. A. 1 Sawyer Sir: After suffering four

years with female weakness I was persuaded by afriend to try your Pastilles, and after using themfor one year, I can say I am entiroly well. I can-

not recommend them too highly. Mrs. M. S. BrookBronson, Bethel Branch Co., Mich. For sale by F.H. Longloy.

House Doorkeeper Glenn statesthat he had 14,000 applications forthe 160 positions at his disposal.This is a striking proof of the patriotic willingness of Americancitizens to assist in runuing thegovernment; but at the same timeit shows how much more likely aman is to fail in his efforts to makehimself useful to his country.

Last year the Mexican International Railway made net ernings incurrent money of over $1,000,000,but the annual interest of $500,000on the bonded debt has to be paidin gold, and the books showed a de-

ficit on the vear of S23.033. Themanagers of the road say the Mex-ican silver dollar has appreciated to55 cents, and they hope the balancewill be on the right side in the nextreport. This is a fair exam pie ofthe workings of a 'degenerate dollar. Globe Democrats

The ballot box used at the villageelection of Juniata last week, savsthe Herald, is the ballot box usedat the first election ever held inAdams county. It is a rather crudeaffair, but is quite a relicand oughtto be presented to the old settlers'association at their next meeting.The box has been used at many acounty election and finally becamethe property of Juniata townshipand village.

One of the most singular suitsever recorded is that againstHolmes, the murderer, who is to beexecuted May 7. It was at the in-

stigation of the attorneys for Mrs.Pitzel. who had him' rrested in aneffort to make him return the monevout of which he had defrauded her.Holmes has several times spoken ofrauds he perpetuated upon Mrs.

Pitzel, and has declared that he hasmade amends in his. will. By thearrest they hope to get out an attachment before the great criminalis shuffled off.

CURIOUS MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.

Among; Dwarfs of Andaman Island Cfti-tracti- nc

Forties Climb a Tree.Some of tho customs peculiar to

courtship and marriage among the racoof dwarfs who inhabit tho Andaman, is-

land are, according to M. do Quatre-fage- s,

who recently published a bookcalled "Tho Pygmies" about thesopeople, very peculiar. Not tho least re-

markable of them is tho procedure ofcourtship. The young man who hasmade his choice addresses himself to thoparents, who never refuse, but send thogirl into the forest, where, before day,she conceals herself. Tho young manmust find her.

If ho does not succeed, he must re-

nounce all claim to her. The weddingceremony of these people is equallycurious. M. Quatrcfages thus describesit: "The two parties climb two flexibletrees growing near each other, whichan old man then makes to bend towardeach other. When tho head of the mantouches the head of the iprl, they arelegally married. "

Turning from Asia to Europe, wefind a very curious custom prevailingin Roumauia. Among the peasantry ofthis country, when a girl attains a mar-riageable age her trousseau, which hasin tho meanwhile been carefully woven,spun and embroidered by her motherand herself, is placed in a paintedwooden box.

"When a young man thinks of askingto be allowed to pay his attentions tothe girl he is at liberty first to open the I

box, winch is always placed, m a con-

venient position, and examine the trous-seau. If he is satisfied with the quantityand quality of the dowry, he makesformal application for the girl's hand,but if not he is quito at liberty to retire.

Major William McKinley is aand a bimetallism In his

place in Congress June 24, 1890,page 6,447 Congressional Record hesaid: "I am for the largest use ofsilver in the currency of the country.I would not dishonor it; I wouldgive it equal credit and honor withgold. I would make no discrimination. I would utilize both metalsas money and discredit neither. Iwant the double standard." Doesany one desire a clearer statementthan that? The Philadelphia Bulle-tin says: No man knows betterthan Senator Sherman how McKin-ley stands on the silver question."We raise the query, Doesn't McKinley know a little better.'' h,x.
