The bids to furnth heating apparatus for the new Hartman building were open- ed. There were only two bids,—that of Condiet & Co., for $784, and that of Coxe for §576. The bids were referred to a special committee consisting of Messrs. Hall, Parker, Specht, Livesey and Copeland. The srchitects report on Contractor Potvin’s work on the Long and Leaven- worth street schools was taken up, Mr, Potvin, who was present, agreed to the report and the board voted to pay him his balance. A proposition from the Eureka com- pany to cover the steam pipes in the school buildings was referred. Propositions were read to grade the school site at Twenty-eighth and Farnam streets. Mr. Gibbon moved that a warrant be drawn for $3,8256 to pay the purchase price of the two achool lots, The motion carried and the proposition to grade the lots to within six feet of the present grade for $1,100 was accepted. The appointment of an inspector of the work on the high school grounds was accepted. The board voted to ask for authority at the next general election to erect an $18,000 school house on Farnam and Twenty-eighth, one at Castellar and Eighteenth to cost the same, and a $2,600 building and site in Traintown, and school site not to exceed $3,000 in the Sixth ward. The board then adjourned. BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS A Meeting Last Night—Sioux Falls Granite Now as Cheap as Asphaltum, The Board of Pullic Works held a special meeting last night at which Chair- man Ceighton and member Woodman were present, The object of the meet- ing was to open the bids on the paving yet to be done this fall and award the contracts. The streets and alleys to be paved with Colorado sandstone are Six- pay for coal fo keep the hospital and home warm during the winter, Tho offoring reemed to be very liberal, and it is hoped that his antiwipations were realizad, The musical part of the service con sisted of selections of Paalms appropriate to tho harvest home festival, and an. thems of "thanksgiving tor a bountiful harvest was well rendered and reflected great credlt on the choir.

The ‘Sioux Falls granite contracts were award- ed to Hugh Murphy & Co., and the Colo- rado sandstone to James Fox, It was ordered by the board that all paving let last night be laid upon a foun- dation of broken stone one half foot in depth, covered with a layer of sand two inches thick, The bosrd then adjourned, | —— - Buy B.

The mastery of the plague in Gencn is really the first fine medical feature of the whole siege, Immediately;after the pert broke out with violence in that city. a fortnight ago, the authoritios had the water supply analyzed, and they discovered that of the three sources of sup- ply that of the Nicolai com pany was frightful, "hie municipal works supply was grotty bad, and that of the Gerzenti company Wwas poor. Tmmense_and costly efforts were promptly mado to shut off the first two sources, and to turn the latter water into all the pipes. An immediate improvement was noti and the instead of advancing for weeks, as has usually been the caso, The mortality in Naplesamong the bet- ter classes has been more than at any other visitation of recent times, It includes eleven priests, a score of nurses, and as many_doc- tors, /The tomporary orphan asylum at Nables is crowded with children and hundreds of oth- ers are privately cared for, Lady Otway having eleven in a small orphanage of her own, Ac cording to the oft Q11 A vaunietpeL g el there have been 9,612 deaths in Italy up to date, but people who ought to know sy that during September fully 1 250 died at_ Naples alone, and a Roman paper estimates tho total deaths up to Wednesday at 10,800. Out of sixty provinces on the Italian mainland forty- four have been infected, but only thirteen have had more than thirty deaths, and only eight haye had more than 100 deaths. In France the pest is still declining weekly. and there seems to be no reason to fear that the isolated cases in the departments_ of Cor- reze and Lot mean a dangerous spread.

Matzinger. 1t is a curiosity, and in view of the wondrous development of this great commonwealth since the ma was made, a careful study of its details is interesting. The east half of the state is divided into counties as at pres- ent, and the interior line of the counties then established, beginning at the north, were, Winneshiek, Fayette, Black Hawk, Tama, Marshall, Story, Boone, Dallas, Madison, Clarke, with Ringgold, Taylor, Page and Fremont extending along the southern border to the Missouri river, The only railroad marked on the map, isthe Illinois Central, from Chicago to Dubuque, and where now the country is crossed by the iron horse, were plank and government roads, KFrom Barlington plank roads led westward to Keosauqua and Ottumwa, and from Muscatine to Washington and Oska- loosa; aud northwesterly to Iowa City; and towards the north to Tipton; and thence into Jones and Benton counties. The only military road through the state ran from lowa City directly west to the Missouri river, in what is now known as Harrigon county. The territory now em- braced in the counties of Grundy, Butler, Bremer, Floyd, Chickasaw, WVright, Hamilton and Webater is described as the ‘“‘neutral Winnebagoes' ground while the westenr portion of the stats is the Pottawattamie country. The largest lake in the state, according to the scale on the map is 156 miles wide and 25 long, and is called the “Boyer lake,” now known as Wall lako, The places furthest west on the map are Fort Atkinson, in Winnesheik county; Fort Peneuch, in Dallas county, near the Racoen river; and Garden Girove, in Da- catur county. Fort Crogham was a mili- tary post on the Missouri, near the pres- ent nite of Council Bluffs. Des Moines is shown as a ‘‘common town” on the map, the larger places being designated a8 *‘county towns.” The state is bounded hy Minnesota territory on the north and Indian territory on the we: e — STOP THAT COUGH By using Dr. Frazier's Throat and Tung Bal- sum—the only sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Hosnrseness and Sore Throat, and all diseases of the throat and lungs, Do not neglect cough.

Wyoming cattle owners, aided by their neighbors in Colorado, were instrumental in having the bill passed. Texas cattle growers, Chicago cattle brokers, and eastern breeders op- posed the bill,and their opposition would have defeated it, had not Wyo- ming and Colorado worked hard and effectively for its passago, Texas and Chicago get representatives on the board, while Colorado and Wyoming and all the northwest, are coollyignored. Appreciating the fact that no man can represent the needs of & business so well as the man who owns and is actively en- gaged in the business, the Wyoming and Colorado stockmen, through thoir stock associations, united in asking that a par. ticular one of their number might be ap- pointed on the board authorized by the bill. So far the request has not been complied with, It ia whispered that fac- tional politics has much to do with the neglect to appoint the agent whose ap- pointment s requested. It ts said that if & request had been made for the appointment of a man who was an earnest sup- porter of the claims of the head of the department that has control ot the ani- mal industry subject, the request would have been readily complied with; but that, because the gentleman whose ap- pointment was requested is above the work of politicians, he has not been ap- pointed. It is pretty hard to think that tue claims of factional politicians are stronger than the demands of the men who have hundreds of millions of dol- lars invested in one of the world's great- est industries, and who make their de- mand becauso tney wishto protect their interests. — Horsford's AcidjPhosphate, IN LIVER AND KIDNEY TROUELES, Dr. 0.

It is said that the youths of this republic are not democrat- ic. Tho sons of democratic fathers have grown up republicans, So long as slavery and the war lingers within the memory of Americans, the youths of the republic will continue to grow up republicans; and slavery and the war will be remembered a8 long as the public achool system exists, the public schools have SLAIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, P | with the text books. It is vain for states- men to declare that there were as many democrats as republicans in the Union army. It is vain to affirm that the war for the preservaiion of the Union could not have been carried to a successfvl close without the aid of the democratic party. 1t is idle for the philanthropic to suggest that the attitude of that gnrty to the war in the beginning was a humane one; that it was inspired by the higher and better wish; that the cause of the conflict should be peaceably removed, and the spilling of brothers' blood by brothers’ hauds avoided. The democrat- ic party has been ideally identified with slavery and slaveholding. The republi- can party is ideally identified with emanclpation and the war. Therefore are the youths of the country incapable of being democratic, Therefore the democratic party can never win a nation- al victory. ITS OLD MEN ARE DYING AWAY. The boys who catch the ballots that fall from their stiffened hands are republi- cans, This fact cannot be denied. It will do no good to quarrel with it. All other causes which have operated to di- minish the number of democrats and increase the number of republicans are insiguificent beside this one tremendous invincible fact. The curse of slavery has poisoned the blood and rotted the bone of the democratic party. The malediction of the war has palsied its brain, The young wife who held the babe up to kiss the father as he hurried to the tap of his doparting regiment has not suckled demo- crats. The weary foot of the gray grand- mother who watched the children while the wife was busy has not rocked the cradle of democrats. The chair that the the soldier father never came back to fill has not been climbed upon by democrata. THE OLD LLUE COAT, That his comrades carried back was cut up for little jackets, but not one covered the heart of a democrat, The rattled musket that fell from him with his last shot became the thoughtless toy of his boys, but not a hand that plnyudywith it was the hand of a democrat. The babe he kissed crowed and crowed for his re- turn, and i‘s unwitting and unanswered notes were not from the throat of a demo- crat, The tear-soiled camp letters which the mother read aloud in the long, bitter wvvenings, while the boys clustered at her knees, did not fall on democratic ears, The girls’ sobs, blending with the moth- or's weeping, did not make democrats of their brothers. Perhaps the father had been a democrat all his life! THE CHILDREN GO 70 SCHOOL, ‘Thero is not a democrat on its benches The first reader contains the portrait of Abraham Lincoln—that kind and sturdy face never made a democrat, Oa its sim- ple pages, in words of one or two sylla- bles, is told the story of his birth and death, Tha t story never made a demo- crat. In the pranksof the playground the name silences the frolicsome, and makes the jolliest grave. The name never made a democrat. In the pictures that light up the geography are the firing on Fort Sumter and the death of Ells- 7 Loo at Appomattox, N ° boy gaves o oorat In tho hi and unresisted influence # 5 text book contains extracts from Datriots’ spoeches during tho war. THOSE SPEECH 28 MAKE NO DEMOCRA.TS. The great battles aro briefly deseribvd; the narrative has no democratic listener The strain of marvial music runs throngh tho readers, and that music makes no democrats, Sketches of the great gen- erals are given; the brave deeds arouse the enthusiasm of the lads, but there is no democrat among them. The horrors and sufferings of the slaves are told; the maddened blood that mounts tho boy's cheoks is not democratic blood. The curso of slavery has pursued the demo- oratio party and has hounded it to ita death. Therefore, let it die, and no lip will be found to say n prayer over its grave. The late defeat neod not be attributed to any other causes, Other causes were at work, but they were only incidental. The tarifl was one. Sectionalism was o socond. “‘Let well onough alone” was a third. The October failure in Indiana was a fourth. But all these were trivial, and together could not have accomplished tho result. The result was accomplished because the youth of the republic are not democratic, The party is therefore without a future and withonut a hope. The malediction of the war has palsied its brain, if by magic: P the skin clear and beautiful, The curse of slavery has poisoned ita blood and rotted its bone, Let it die.

Men Who Have Played a Conspicu- ous Part in Our Country's History, A Washington correspondent of the Cleveland Leader writes as follows: George Bancroft is probably the oldest ex-officio cabinet sccretary living. He was President Polk's secretary of the navy in 1846, Nextto him comes Jeff Davis under Franklin Pierce, and then Judge Holt, Horatio King and Jacob Johnson, who ocoupied the respective positions of secretary of war, postmaster- general, and secretary of the interior under President Buchanan., Judge Holt and Horatio King still live here at Washington, and Jacob Thompson s at his home in the suburbs of Memphis, Tennessee. Of Lincoln's cabinet, Hannibal Ham- lin, his vice-president, leads a retired life in Maine, and old Simon Cameron is a hale citizen of Harrisburg, Pa, General Grant, for a short time secre- tary of war, makes his headquarters in New York, and General Schofield is still in the service. James Harlan, one of Johnson's secretaries of the interior, 1s a judge in this city,and William M. Evarts, one of his attorney-generals, practices law In New York. Hugh McCulloch, Lincoln’s secretary of the treasury, left America in 1870 to becoms a London banker, but I understand that he now lives near Washington city. Of Grant's administration Schuyler Colfax leads a retired life in Indiana. I saw Elihu Washburn, his first secretary of state, looking hale and hearty at both of the national conventions. George S. Boutwell one oi his secretaries of the treasury is practicing law here; Benja- min Bristow, another, has a law office in Now York, and William A. Richardson is living in Washington, still feeding off the government _treasury, Secretary Belknap is also a Washington lawyer and George M, RRobeson was a leading mem- ber of the last congress, Of Grant's socrotaries of the interior poor Zach Chandler is dead, but Jacob D. Cox prac- tices law at Cincinnatiand Columbus De- lano ralses fine wooled sheep in the cen- tral part of Ohio, Judge Taft, who was Geant's secretarp of war, 18 now minister to Russia, but Lot M. Morrill, Mrs. Morrill says, is dead. The oldest living ex-secratary of the treasury is Philip Francis Thomas, of Maryland, who was a short time ago defeated in the race for tht United States senate. He was for less than a month at tho head of the treasury during the latter days of Presi- dent Buchannan, The oldest ex-secre- tary of war is Jeff Davie, who served un- eer President Frank Pierce. All of the eight secretaries of the navy between Bancroft and Robeson, are dead. The Hon, Dick Thompson still lives in Indiana, and Nathan Goff is in congress, Judge James Harton is the oldest secretary of the interior alive, and William M, Kvarts is, 1 suppose, but am mnot certain, the oldest attorney general. Edward M. Stanton, has been long dead.

I have even gone so far as to stand up for and champion the cause of tho oyclone when its onemios sought to damago it in my heariog. When others apoke in harah and severe terma of the vandal, murderous work of the oy- clone, I said, “‘Ah, yes, gentlemen, but do not overlook the great werk of purifi- cation that is done by it in its mad gyra- tions, Think how necessary are these at- mospheric upheavals to rid us of super- flun:u elactricity and purify the stagnant. air, 1 did this until 1 suffered personally among men, and even the blue-nosed and sore-eyed hoodlum ‘)ointml at me as 1 passed and said, “There goes Bill Nye, the friend of the cyclone And what is my reward for all this? Like a peaceful Ute, stealing up through the sheltering ambush to saw open the windpipe of a dear friend, comes the ring-tail peelor of tho sky, scarcely mov- ing the green leavesas ho steals along the valley on his hind legs. The air is liko the atmosphere of death, No sound is heard except the the dull thud of the woodman's axe as it buries itself in tho hoart of a pine tree that belongs to some oneelse. Thosun has dropped behind a dull gray cloud that is faced with pale green. Still lower down the steel-gray and purple clouds come boiling over the treo-tops. The tree-toad makesa fow desul- tory remarks, Katy.did says ‘‘good evening,” and the premature twilight has come, Up from the southwest comes a sullen mutter, a crash, a roar, like twen- ty oceans in joint caucus, the rush of falling trees, the crash of giant hail. stones, the thunder of falling waters, and like the deadly charge of heaven's artillory it is over. That is a cyclone one of the adult variety when it is feel- ing well. When you see one of that kind shding up into the sky, do not try to twist its tail as it goes by. It takes a strong, quick man to reach out over the dash-board and twist the tail of a cyclone. He must be strong in the wrists, cool- headed, and soon in his movements. The cyclone which visited northern Wisconsin on the 9th instant was about ajmile wide, and lasted through a period of time, I would say, -such as would be measured in pronouncing the word “Scat!” in an ordinary tone of voice. It blew down three churches, sparing all the saloone, jerked the school buildings crooked, knocked the post-office silly and eemolished a dozen stores and places of business. . It killed two of the most promising young men aad the purest Christian woman in the village. Then it went out into the forest whero Iwas riding along, attending to my own business, tipped me over and broke my leg. Everywhere it sought out the young and fair. It spared the old, the sinful and the tough, but spent its fury on the tender, the good, the true and the beautiful. Is it surprising that it jerked me galley west? No, indeed! Iam only surprised that I am alive, I had intended to say a word or two about what to do when you see s cyclone coming, but this letter is already too long. One general rule may not be out of place, however. First, be sure that it is a cyolone. Then take your family and adjourn to the state penitentiary. Those who have spent the major portion of their lives in tho penitentiary will remember with pleasure the feeling of security they experienced whilo there. I masy sa; truly that I have never felt that same old security myself, since I—But why rake up old personalities? They will all come to the surface when I run for president, Biuu Nye, Hudson, September 30, e ——— The Brotherhood of Locomotive Englneers, Once a year the locomotive engineers of the country meet together in conven- tion to discuss matters relative to their calling. This year they met in San Francieco, and, being a body of men, when on a vacation, wish to make the most of it in the way of recreation and comfort, they naturally choose the route to their meoting place, which_guarantees them greatest immunity from dapger and the most facilities for sight-seeing and enjoyment en voyage. They have an open credit with the rail- roads, for all lines transport them free of charge, hence their choice is & voluntary act upon their part. This year, the great bulk of the fraternity chose the great Rock Island Route, and were carried toward the Occident in half a dozen of the magoificont new Pullman cacs, for which this great route is noted. They chose wisely and well, since they passed over a road with the smoothest of track, through a country of surprising fertllity and lovliness, and while journeying ate the best viands the market afforded, cooked and served in the very best man- ner, and at night slept In the most lux- urious sleeping cars to be found In the United States. A true engineer is observant and quick to discern danger. Thero 18 nothing heedless or reckloss in the composition of the Knights of the Foot-board, hence their cholce of the Rock Island route was a compliment and a testimonial from men best qualified to judge, that they believed the Rock Island & Pacific railway com- bines in its road-bed, equipment and management, all the qualities that makes railway worthy the patronage of the public, e — Jefl.
