THE SEWER BOND PROPOSITION. It 1s Carried With Little or No Oppo- sition~A Review of the Day— Notes of the Fray — The Figures. The Election. The spring election of 1886 isa thing of the past. It has come and gone, and s0 far as 1ts effeot upon the political complexion of the council is concerned, might just as well have not occurred at all. That body, as before, is composed of seven republicans and five democrats. The school board looses one democrat and gains one ropublican. The clection passed off very quictly, and barring a few of the inevitable fights, nothing occurred to mar the serenity of the da, The cloudless sky and warm sunshine, tempered by the influence of the sweet southern zephyrs which ever and anon swept through the oity, served tc bring out afair attendance at the polls, and a still larger number of elec- tion workers. The vote itself while not rurticnlnrly light, was not, on the other hand, as heavy as anticipated. In the second, third and fourth wards, to be sure, deep nterest was manifested in the re- sult, and the polling was, consequently, a_trifle heavier than in the other pre- cinets. As will be noted when a perusal of the figures presented Dbelow, the victo- re Thomas Lowry in i < Kaspar in_the Second ick Ford in the Third, W. F. Bechel in the Fourth, Charles Cheney in the Fifth, and F. W he Sixth. This, of cou out of the six councilmen In the First ward, Mr, Thranes' defeat was due, doubtless, to a eoalition of the Hascall, the mugwump element, with the democr: The result was not a disap- pomdment to Mr. Thrane. He had ex o just such an “outcomo of the con- test. The Hascall men, at the primaries, bodlyl annonnced their intention of riding tneir favorite roughshod into the council, or failing in that, of defeating Mr. Thrane at any costt This coalition the straight republicans could not down, though Mr. Thrane’s friends rallied around him nob In the Second ward, Frank Kaspar made a ant fight against Morrison rvey, and the result was rather a se to hisfriends. Morrison’s can sidetracked a number of vo whicli might otherwise have been cast for Kaspar. Garvey’s henchmen we bitterly “disavpointed the result for they claimed a victory early in the day and were loth to admit, when nightfall came and the polls closed with Kaspar ral lengths in the lead, that th man was beaten. In the Third ward the smmHmlh' of the colored element to the Ford side and other causes combined to make the defeat of Burmeister an assured thing befor o'clock in the afternoon. Therepublican workers couceded this early in the day, but nevertheless kept up the fight hoping that by some possibility the victory might at the last moment be thrown to their side. In the Fourth ward the contest was a better one. The Garnealr men were out as thick ns flies about a molasses jug, working like beavers all day long. Towards the last when it became that the Bechel star wus in ascendancy the workers for wtic candidates redoubled thy nd labored with an y espair, Notwithstanding the ugwump defection from the re Mr. Bechel received a m: 2, which, though small, it goes without ing, is as good as a majorityof 42,000, 'he fight in the Fifth ward was a_very one, Mr. Cheney having a walk- rom ti t In the Sixth, Mr. Manville came out with fiying His majority was a surpr s friends who feared that the despe attempt of the Plasterers union to down him, because, as alleged, he has empl seab labor, might be successful.

Senator Van Wyck gaye the senate a little plain talk to-day about the commis- sioners of the district of Columbia and the Washington Gaslight company and other corporations, The senator has been dis) 1g good deal of interest in district affaivs, and he has found abund ant subjects which congress needs to have its attention direc will not forget. profits taken from the people by the gas com pany, the failure of national banks to ay a dollar ax on their stoek, and the exs the street railwa companies from their employ nd the people, are topics which Mr.” Van Wyck regards as of spec importance. His ks to-day were ealled out by ar markable letter which the district com missioners have sent to the hou i triet committee regarding the tion. This letter struck the ator, as well as a good many ot § s by marks of having been pr a skilltul attorney in the interest of th s company, and he therefore introduced a vesolution dirvect ing the commissioners to inform the Sen ate whether any of them was a stock holder, direetor or attorney of the company, any national bank or any str railroud” company. The point, Mr. V Wyck said, was not that such an oflice would disqualify a man to be a district commissioner, but that cong might know how much weight and consideration should be given to recommendations of the commissioners, repeated the statements hitherto made by him in the ate regarding the powerlessness of the citiz of Washington to protect them- selves, and declared that congress was holding 200,000 people by the throat and allowing corporations to plunder them. He denounced the gas company as one of the most despotic of these cor- porations, and then read, with pertinent and sharp comments, the commissioners’ lette In this letter the commissioners expressed their opinion that there should be only on. company in Washington, and contended that streets should not be torn up to lay the mains of & new com puny.

Tt is the gateway eity to the Sioux Indian reservation, being twenty-tive mi from Pine Ridge agency. The first building was built on the prosent town site about a year and a half ago, and from that time to this, buildings have been rapidly built until they now number nearly 200, The town was incorporated last November, andthe present population exceeds 500. The county in which Gordon is situated (Sheridan) is in latitude 420 to 439, and longitude 103° to 103° west The county contains 704,160 acres of land, nearly all of which is well adapted to agricultural or grazing purposes, a large portion of which ill subject to home- stoad, pre-cmption or timber culture en- try he principlo stream is the Nio- brara river, the water of which is cloar and pure as spring water. It enters the county on its west line and runs nearly east, dividing the county about in the middle. Numerous smaller streams_flow into the Niobrara, among which are Deer, Pine, Box Butte, Antelope and Rush creeks. There are also Wounded Knee and Larrabee, White, Clay and Beaver crecks, which flow north into the White river of Dakota. Most of these streams have their sources from springs, the water of which is pure and soft, there being very little, if any, = alkali in Sheridan county. The soil of this county is most, and particu- b of the Niobrara river, \dy lonm, containing salt, pot: ash, lime, and vegetablemold. The can- yons and hillsides contain timber, con- sisting of ash, pine, elm, box-clder and cottonwood, which is in suflicient quanti- ties to settle the fuel question, Al) parts are being rapidly settled up with a thrifty and industrious class of settlers, and the towns of the county are composed of en- terpristng business people. The towns of the county are Hay Springs, Rushville, and Gordon, of which the latter is the largest. While it t vresent the county seat, it has tho udvantage of being the location of the western Indian freiglit depot, from which 10,000 Indians obtain their ‘supplies from' the government, which necessarily gives the business man re Indian trade.
