E. Magoon nominated Ed Rog- en for mayor. Mr. Burr nominated J. fl. Macfari and for the same position. ‘Che ballot resulted in_fifteen votes from each of the First, Second, Third, Fifth and Sixth wards for Mr. Roggen, and fifteen from the Fourth ward for Mr. Macfarland. Mr. Roggen's nomination was made unanimous, i In response to a call Mr. Roggen prom- Ssed, if elected, to eive the people a clean and reputable adminstration of the aflairs of the city. R. C.

A r of five minutes was taken, when the following councilmen were mnominated: First ward, Bernard Dolan; Secol Billingsly; Third, A. E. Hurg ourth, W, Cooper; ¥ifth, long term, Gran Ensign; short term, Ed Bignow; Sixth, long term, E. P. Holmes; short term, Brad Ringes. The nkxmnfz rink band played some ng ble waltzes during the intervals. I'he convention was harmonious and adjourned at 3:45 The paragraph in yesterday's F Iating to pavements brought an y and state and United States official to the BEE correspondent with the statement that it was only too true. He said he had been approached by a public officer and nsked to sign a petition for paving in front of his property. He signed. ‘A few days later another official approached him and asked him to sign a petition for the same purpose. “I have signed one already,” the gen- tleman said. *‘Oh, yes, hut that was for cedar blecks; this is for haltum,” The first mentioned had not noticed ghat the tirst petition had specitied any in of pavement, but subsequent nvestigation conyinced him that st did, and he had signed for a aterial which he had not desired. 'Eio then told the Bk correspondent that e feared the people, because of their norance of the method of proceeding n the matter of securing pavements were eing deceived and requested that the matter be shown up in the papers. Itis 8 well known fact that Omaha paving contractors have been here urging these etitions, and their work will be ascer- ined 1n & few days. POSTAL ADVANCEMENT. Several complaints bave lately como to the BEE regarding slowness and irregu- Jarity in the delivery of mail from the Enflwmu in this city. Yesterday, the EE correspondent asked Postmaster Watkins the cause of the complaint and his answer was that his force was inade- quate to supply the needs of the rapidly increasing vopulation of the city. The amount of mail handled for the 1ast quar- for was In increase of 50 per cent over that of the eorresponding quarter last year. Last month the number of pieces of mail matter handled by the oftice was 849,695, The carriers’ work was done bi’r eight men, and these men, as also the clerks in the office, were overworked. Mr. Watkins, however said that his oftice had but recently been examined by Messrs. Brown and Branch, the vernment inspectors, and they reported that the clerical and carrier forces were too small: that the lobby was also too small and that the office furniture ought to be renewed. He had just been notitied to put on two extra carriers at $600 each per ‘_‘wr, to enlarge the lobby, which he will do by cutting a door in the west wall of tae building and to supply the furniture as soon as possi- ble. Mr, Wiigum has now been asked for extra clerks and fecls they will soon begranted. The plaeing of the two extra carries will reqnire a redistricting of the city, and will of course in a measure matisly the demands of the people. But the place is still too small. Hereafter flve of tho carriers who work m the in- termediate belt between the business district and the limits will be allowed ear fare, and Mr. Watkins is now making his_estimate of the amount required, which will be forwarded by the postal dopartment. WILL HE VETO ? The governor-has now about fifteen Rills passed by the legislature to which he has not attached his signature. ‘I'o these heis giving 2 great deal of attention Among them are the libel and gamb) bills which, some people feel, his exc Jency may not sign, Some of the sport- ing men of town yesterday circulated a potition for the sighature of citizens ask- ng the governor to veto the latter bill, OUGHT T VE. An eflort is being made to compel the dray and express men to abandon their resent stand east of the postoflice and ake up anotherin the hay market. There is do doubt about the matter that a place of less importance should be selected. The appearance of so many teams In so public a place, detractsfrom the beauty of the spot and sadly destroys a lqflam and thoroughfare, which might otherwise have a metropolitan appear- ance. ROBBERS AND PIETY, Sunday morning Mr. J. Underwood, the insurance agont, and his wife were fioinx to church, when the former noticed hnt one of his wife's dress pockets 10oked unusually full. He ascertained that it contained some of her jewelry and money which she was taking with her for sate keeping. She was induced to leave the rropnrly i the house, and then botih herself and husband went to church, When they returned home, the money about $130 and the jewelry, valued at about the same, had been stolen, It 1s supposed a tramp who was seen about the house 18 respousible for their disappear- soce.

It 1s thought that this work will uire about a week, the ladies receiv- ng $3 per daz. WANT TO CULTIVATE. Articlos of incorporation were -filed THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUE AY.

Rome correspondence London Stand- ard: Venice has taken up the question of sanitation, and the Instituto Venet has inaugurated discussion on ‘“‘th drainage of citics in relation to endemic and epidemic maladies, with general ref- erence to drainage system existing in the city of Venice and the moditications to be made 1n it in the limitations imposed by topographieal conditions of th the scope of its application to the sanitary needs of th Ly From a brochure on early drains in Venic just published by the well-known Vene: tian architect, Giacomo Boni, I translate the following passages: “In December last our municipal council voted a tax on private sewers proportional to the dam- age they do to the banks of the canal: which encourages the use of cesspools. 1t is necessary, however, to regulate the construotion and empyting of these. There are many things to be noted concerning the construction of drains, The worst of their inconvenience is the deterioration after a long time of the subsoi house or entire city, where the air circulates and comes out charged with exhalations, where infectious germs find conditions ' favorable to reproduc. tion and deveiopment hecause in land under human habitation, as in the earth of cemeteries, after a time the reducing agents are exhausted. From the point of view of health, to this use of cesspools in earth already Saturday, we shouid profer the harmiess custom of the population of some of our islands, throw everylhing into the eanals, where the sult-water, solvent par excellence and universal disinfectant, takes charge of the consequences. In the special case of Venice where the sen water floods the Iand, we must study what its disinfeet- propertics may be, what its action filtrat- mr} through the porous strata of the sub- soil of our city, and how this action can be best utili for general advantage witheut any intention to trifle with the cleanliness of our canals. Cosspools sur- vounded by sea water, or by a soil through which the sen water filters freely, will operate better than those of pre- suvmed impermeability.” It seems to me that the Venetians have like the Romuns, taken up the question seriously, without waiting to be driyen by the foreign press. - Some Old Sunday Customs, Dr. Eggleston contributes an illustrated paper on ‘‘Church and Meeting-House Before the Revolution” to the April Cen- tury. Krom it we quote as follows: ‘‘In Connecticut, perhaps more than any- where clsge, Sunday was a sort of popular 1dol, nor did the rigor of its observance abate perceptibly until long after the revolution. This extreme scrupulosity about Sabbath-keeping was doubtless the moving cause of the building of the “*Sabbath-day homes;” these were little shanties standing on the nieeting-house green, each intended to accommodate a famiiy during the interval between the two services, Some Sabbath-day houses were built with a stall atone cnd to shelter the horse, while the family took refuge in the other, where there was a chimney and a meager furmture of rude seats and a table. Here on arrival be- fore the first service the owners hghted a fire and deposited their luncheon, and to this camp-like place they came back to eat their dough-nuts and thaw themselves out after their first long sitting in the arctic climate of the mecting-house. Sometimes two families had a Sabbath-day house together; some- times there were two rooms in a Sab- badt! xl{ house that the sexes might sit apart---for nothing so agreeable as con- verse between beys and girls was per- mitted during the consecrated time, But some parishes in Massachusetts, and per- haps elsewhere, had a common ‘noon house’ for all comers to rest in. Fireside assemblages on Sunday, whother in the parsonage or in the noon house, were in danger of proving delightful to those who were prone to enjoy the society of other human beings, aud hesce the pas- tors ‘were put upon their best contrivan- ces' to have most of the interval between the services filled up with the reading aloud of edifying books and other exer- ecises caleulated to keep the mind in a be- bomingly irksome frame," —— The governor of Missouri has become {Jenluus of the atrention given to outlaws; ut he stili continues to recommend the famous Dr, Bull's Cough Syrup for coughs and colds, The proprietors of Salvation Oil, the greatest cure on earth for pain, will pay n lnr;.f« reward if any certilieate pub- lished by them is found not genuine, It costs only 25 cents a bottle, e ———— A family who had been victims of the Topolobampo colony fraud made their way with great diffienlty through Mexico to “the Amencan frontier.

A. UPTON & CO. Why Men Get Bald. New York Commercial Advertiser: *I have heard nearly as many explanations of baldness as lyh:u'c seen bald-hended men, and that’s a good many,” smd a down town barber the other ‘but T never heard one that gave the true cause. Some people say it's dissipation, cutting the hair too short, letting it grow too long, smoking too strong cigars, smoking a pipe, smoking cigarettes, drinking strong coflee, drinking bad whisky, wear- ing high hats, wearing low hats, wearing a hat in the house, not wearing a hat out of doors, worrying, late hours and early plela. . “Now, did you ever notice what classe: e most commonly bald? That throws a deal of light on the cause of baldness. I have found that as a rule re- tail salesmen, bookkeepers, and some of- fice clerks are more often bald than any other class of men, Why? Because they habitually stand or sit nearly every even- ing under a gas light. “Bookkecpers always have a strong light over their heads.” So do clerks who have to work at might. Retail salesmen sell goods under powerful burners that are most of the time directly over their heads. ‘The artifical heat dries out the hair, makes it brittle and unhealthy and finally kills it at the root. ‘That'show the reup o get bald. If you will pass your hand through your hair after you have been standing under a gas light for a few moments you will see at once how it is. Although you may not have noticed the heat, your hair, if you've got any, will be fairly hot to the roots. You'll be surprised to notice, too, at what a dis- tance from the light the heat will take ef- fect. Now there’s nothing in the world that 18 so bad for the hair as getting it dry. 1t should be moistall the time, and with the oil that is paturally sccreted by the little cells at the roots. When this oil is continually and rapidly evap- orated, as itis when the head is kept heated by the gas light, the cell dries up and the hair falls out. “There won't be much baldness in the world after two or three gencrations have used the electric light exclusively.

The demon of impure blood strives to gain victory over the constitu- tion, to ruin health, to drag victims to thegrave. A good reliable medicine like Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the weapon with which to defend one’s self, drive the des- perate enemy from the field and restore peace and bodily health for many years. Try this peculiar medicine. —~— Apropos of the proposition to found a Beecher library in Rrooklyn, the follow- ing utterance of the late Mr. Beecer him- self in Plymouth pulpit on February 13 last is quoted: **A man who should estab- lish in Brookly a free library for the peo- ple would be a regenerator’ of the city, and, if he pleased to have his name in-, scribed, that name could never go below the horizon.” RUSHING TO DEATH in the attempt to swim the Niagara Whil- pool Rapids is no more reckless or dangerous than to trifle with disease which each day secures a stronger hold and hastens the end of his life, This is specially true of rheu- matism, neuralgia, sciata, and nervous head- ache, whioh though perhaps slight at first are extremely dangerous, and steadily secure a firmer grip until at lasi the agony is unen- durable and sudden death brings relief. These diseases can be cured by the use of Athlophoros which, in connection with Athloporos Pills, never fails when properly used, Rean tee following from those who have tested it. John S. Kennedy, Speasville, Kansas says: “Nearly two years ago, four bottles of Athlophoros cured me of rheumatism, and I have had no return of the old complaint since.” Mrs. A Newton, wife of ex-Mayor New- ton, Des Moines, 1owa, says: “I had been a great sufferer for years, and had resorted to many remedies, but nothing would do what Athlophoros did forme, Athlophoros took the stifiness out of the joints of my fingers, which T had been troubled with so long.” Murray J. Cochran, Dennison, [owa, says: “Itis now two years since I used Athlo- ros, and I have no rheumatism since. At the time I used this medicine I was crippled 50 thar [ had touse crulches. My knees were swollen so that I had to cut my pauts in order towear them, my arms were stiff at the elbows; part of the time [ could not feed myself. While in this coandition, I was advised to take Athlophros; which I did. After using afew bottles I was com- pletely cured, Every druggist should keep Athlopho- ros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cannot be bought of the druggist the Athlophoros Co., 122 Wall st., %ew York, will send either, carriage paid, on receipt of regular price, which is $1 per :»olllt)e for Athloohoros and 50c for the Pills.
