County Superintendent Bruner yestorday appointed two women to fill vacancies in thg school board of district No. 26, known as Sumner Hill. Their names are Mrs, Aue gusta Lorenzen and Mrs. Margaretta Hun. ter. He took them for the reason that none of the distriot vould be nduced to serve. The vacancies ocourred last winter, when death removed the moderator and treasurer, 1f it came into effect on April 8, then there was no vacnacy in the ofiice he filled at the election of April 2, If the resignation by its acceptance dated from April 8, then the rolator would have mno right to be declared elected at the election occur- ring, or to have a certificate of election de- livered to him, and, in adaition to this, there is the sorious question, which becomes an issue between the relator and W. S. Hamil- monument of the aay, butof the years to come. _ Tho order of the evening was conventional in every sense. There is nothing paradoxi- cal in this. ball, the banquet and the weneral social pleasures of the evening wowld have been lacking without tho customary toast. Mr. C. O. Bates welcomed the guests in a few woll chosen words. He was felici- tous w his remarks to the traveling men and chambers, seven of them having bath rooms. The main dining-room is forty-cight feet square, and the ladies' ordinary twenty by twenty feet. Adjoining the dining-room is the serving room, separate from the kitchen. ‘These are all on the second floor.

The train will b in charge of Conductors Waldron, Secor and Harding. 1t is said that the boys expect to have a great time, and hope to reach Denve 80 that they can have o day's rest before commencing the work of the convention. DEDICATION OF THE PADDOCK. The City On thé Blue Formally Opens Its New Hotel. ELECTED OR NOT ELECTED. . What Mr, Cooper, of Lincoln, Has Been Trying to Find Out. A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION TRAVELING MEN IN CLOVER. Oonvinces the Judge That It is a Query He Can Answer, Not Just Now—Railroad Equal- ization, LINCOLN HUREAU Or T OMAGA Ban, 1020 P STreer, LiNcoLN, May 1L ‘This morning the Hon. S. M. Chapman en- tered his court loaded for game. In the big municipal fight, which has been disquieting the spirits of the local politicians ever since tho special election of April 23, Tae Bk has already stated W. S. Hamilton cleverly oustea A. J. Cooper from his seat in the city council, (Fourth ward). Judge Chapman heard testimony and speeches pro and con fu the mandamus suit, which followed the xefusal of the city council to confer a certifi- cate of election upon Mr. Cooper. The sub- ct mattor has been judicially cogitated uring the week, and the result was laid open this morning. Judge Chapman says that the mandamus proceeding is something that should be carefully considered before a writ is issued—the court should be satisfied that there is right in the relator; that the writ will give him proper relief and at the 0 tme not compromise the rights of m:\l partigs. 1In the case at bar W. J.* Cooper sought to eompel the respondents, the city council of Lineoln, to give to him a certificate of elec- tion to the council from the Fourth ward, The evidence adduced showed that that Robert B. Graham was conwmplating be- coming a candidate for the office of mayor of incoln at the general city election, om April There was an anticipation that he would resign his place ms councilman from the Fourth ward, and on this anticipation the re- blican slectors of the Fourth ward placed o relator in nomination to fll the expected wyacancy. There was a meeting of the city council on April 1, when Graham tendered Rhis resignation. A portion of the council ob- jocted fo its acceptance, and the question ‘was referred to the council's standing com- wittee on elections. Thus Graham continued 10 bold his ofice—he had not resigned, his resignation had pot been accepted, and he cuntinued to perform the duties of s ofive, for the evidence showed him to have been present at the meeting of the council on the 6th of April, taking part in the proceed- ings, when the vote cast at the eiection of April 2 was canvassed, and with the excep- tion of the councilman for the short term frowm the Fourth ward (Cooper having been elected to that oftice following upon ublican nomination) the persons securing Bn! majority of the votes for the ofices to be filled at the election were declared duly olocted. The tellers in charge of the can- wass, indeed, had counted and reported the muber of votes cast for the relator, Cooper, but no further action was taken by the board of cauvassers, Thoy seemed, indeed, $0 have considered that there was no vacancy of the oftice to which the relator had been elected, The meeting was fullowed by a mooting on - April 8, ‘when the committee, who had io charge the tendered resignation of Grabam (who, in the meantime, bad been elected mayor of Lin- coln) reported the subject back to the council. The resignation of Graham was then accepted, and a special election to fill the vancy of councilmen for the short term in the Fourth ward, was fixed for the 22d of April. On that day the people had before them as contestants W. J. Cooper and W. S. Hamiiton, the latter recoiving & large num- ber of the votes cast, and he beiug subse- quently declared by ' the clty council duly elec -M( Hamilton qualified and is now per- forming the duties and enjoying the rights, rivileges aud emoluments of the ofice. The idge said theso were the facts with which © had to deal, and out of them arose & ma- terial issue between the relator, the ents und a third party, W. 5. Hamilton. T! Qustion was thia: Did Grabam's rosiges tion bocawe operative on April 1 or Apri ton. as to whether the Lincoln city council had authority to order the special olection of April 2. Hoe had it before him in evidence that there is pendiag in the court a proceed- ing in the nature of a quo warranto, in which the relator seeks to have Hamilton ousted from his office as councilman and that office vested in him. The weight of authoriy in the country is in tavor in cases like this of quo warranto precoedings rather than man- damus. Under the quo warranto action, the rights of the reiator and of his adversary can be fully settled, whereas if a writ were now issued it would only compel the re- spondonts to perform the ministerial duty of giving a certificate of election to the relator, to which the court was not quite clear that he is entitled. The substantial right of Ham- ilton, if auy he had, would not be tested, but these rights might be compromised, provided that uvon the trial of the quo-warranto it should be found that he is entitied to the seat. Further, the certificate of election is not neeessary to the relator, to maintain his action *of quo-warranto; aud in well con- sidored cases it has been held when, in doubtiul cases, a certificate has been issuod, mandamus will not lie to compl the issuance of a second certificate, especially when such issuance would merely shift the burden of proof, or would render substantial aid or fogl felief. ' Tho judgo reforred to Magoe vs Supervisors, 10 Cal., 3i6; Sherburn vs Hern, 45 Mich., 160, and People vs Cove, 5 TIL., 100, and said that in his opinion the case at bar made a stranger caso for the rofusal of the writ of mandamus than the cases cited. In this case an action by quo-war- ranto would afford a speedy and complete relief to the relator, and thero would be no prejudice to the third party. The court had not in this matter doemed it necessary finally 1o decide. As to the legality of the elections of April and April 23, which matter would be best tested at the hearing on the quo- warranto. He considered it best for the in- torest of all concerned to leave, until then, the parties in their present status; and for all theso reasons the writ of mandamus was refused with costs Reliroad Equalization, The board of cqualization, with the excep- tion of the governor, is again at home, It 1 learned that the Elkborn system of roads was completely rounded up during the week. Every mile of road, 1,013 in number, was traversed and the property carefully listed. One of the mewmbers of the board informed Tus Bee representative to-day that “lots of property was discovered’ that the authori- ties of the road had failed to give in. This, bowever, will be considered when the assess- ments aro made. *Tho road will make noth- ing by its attempt to secret its property,’ pointedly said the member. ‘The board will continue 1ts ride and work on next Thurs- day. 1t is understood that the property of the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska raiiroad company will next bo traversrd and in- spected. ‘'he sentiment is strong here that the action of the board in secking to_inspect the railroad property of tho state is wise one, Pharmaceutical Programme.

The fortune that awaits the inveuntor of a successful dry-placer machiue, or any © method by which the gold in the loose dirt on the hills and mountains of Nevada can be separated, says the Virginia City Enterprise, will make the present wealthy men of the world have, by comparison, dismal an- tiepations of the poor house. The ex- periment has often been tried, and as often the result Las been only partially successful, often sufliciently ~encourag- g to induce continued effort, but never 5o far has a profitable working test been made. p Owing to the specific gravity of gold, which enables us to coll; it by the use of water, wind will probably be the chief agent of separation. The nu- merous contrivances for that purpose now in existence depend more or less upon the principle by which grain is separated [rom chafl, and the experi- menters have usually directed their at- tention to moditications of the form and structure of the familiar winnowing machine. The several methods of utilizing the air have at times been combined with amalgamating plates and with a mod- erate use of water which is made tw do continuous service. The failure in the sense of profitably working has usually been due to the relatively small quan- tity of metal saved—that is, tne returns have not justified the outlay. There is no question as to the feasi- bim{ of making the weight of particles of gold operate in collecting themselves in adistrict mass; it is and always has been only the ratio between valug recoived and value expended that must be overcome hy the successful dry separator. Herotofore the wind has been su“pliud by artificial means and its application bas necessarily been limited, Some time the natural motion of the air will be applied on a large scalo and in such a manner that by a repeated fanning the dry earth wmay be blown away from the heavier meotal. Great air concentrators will be devised that can be operated at an expense merely nominal, and the problem will be practically solved. When this is ac complished t{\a wind, which, like the poor, we have always with us, will blow wealth and prosperity for Nevada. Boatrice a Scene of Splendor—A Grand Banquet and ‘Ball— Who Were There— The Hotel. Beartrice, Neb., May 11.—|Special to Tne Bie.)—Beatrice bidding for the tnird place amoug Nebraska's busy and enterprising cities, can now say without boasting that we have the finest hotel in the state outside of Omalm, and in point of furnishings and architectural beauty the peer of any. Bril- liantly illuminated last night, “The Pad- dock” presented a sceus of dazzling splendor, such as has rarely been witnessed in the west, for beauty and chivairy had gathered there. Fully a thousand sparkling faces were to be seen ‘“here and there and everywhere,’ in repousse to the generous invitation of Mr. y, through the Traveling Men's club, to attend the grand i animation to the aecorations within, benutiful as cultured tastes and the apirit manifest on every haud was that of honor to the builder and the enterprising genius of the city that the new four-sto does so much credit, ‘fhe dedication of “The Paddock” was the great sooial event of the history of Beatrice, and her citizens scemed to appreciate the fact. They vied with each other in making the stranger foel .that he was one of them. The recevtion was in koeping with the true spirit of hospitality. 1t was all that would be asked by . the throng that gath- ered from the iuur quarters of ‘the union. No act of kindly interest or gentility was forgotten. Words would fail to picture the beauty of the floral decorations. Iestoons of flowers hung from the ceilings and walls. Great wreaths aud potted plants transformed every rooin from office to ordinary, 1nto bowers of beauty. Colors were blended with -mutgh- less taste. Indeed, they were in such per- fect kenping that contrasts gave back answering smiles. There was no dashing, and it need ouly be sdid, that all within was symmetrically beautiful. This, in a word, is all that a pen-picture can do in description. The banquet and ball of the Traveling Men's club, which was projected by the pro- prietors of the hotel, to fittingly celebrate its formal opening, was .also perfect in its way. The banquet was served in the elo- gantly furnished dining rooms and ordina- ries. No sound came back from the couples @8 they came Lo, and weat from, the tables laden with every delicay of the season. The silk-velvet carpots did not intend it should be s0. Cheery voices alone gave evidence of ~ confusion. But = to linger here is w0 prolong a story that every guest will bear Tuk BEE out insaying: ‘“Ihere has heen nothing like itin all Nebraska the past year.” ‘The ball was given in the opera house, a portion of the mugnificent Paddock that will be formally dedicated to the drama some time during the montn of next September, and 1t is presumable that the dedication will be upon a scale of equal plane. Hut, con- cluding, the parquet was fitted on & level with the stage, and ternsichorean revellers inaulged to heart's content. Though incom- pleto, the opera house presented a baudsome appearance, sad in perspective gave evidence of the elegant and commodious “temple of the drama’ HBeatrice will have when the interior 18 finished, But, the opeuing of *The Paddock is now apart of the history of Beatrice, and it means vastly more than what appears ou the surface, The city has a hotel commensurato with every need.” I is not only a credit to the city,” but to the whole state. It is beyond to-day and bids for a progressive future. Senator Paddock must have had faith in the possibilitics when he ventured #100,000 to build the hotel that bears his nawe, and in which every citizen of the place takes a just degree of pride. It is not ouly & provoked applause in_contrasting ~their re- sponsibilitie: Mr. A. J. Conlee, president of the Traveling Men’s cluo, adaressed tho gathering 1 bohalf of the fraternity he rep- resauts. Colonel Ashby also responded *‘In favor of the Paddock,’” aud was roundly ap- plauded in his coucluding seutence: *In the name of the Traveling Men's Social club, of Beatrice, I thank you for your attendance here to-night. NOW TO THE OPENING, and somethiug of the history that bid to the splendid colebration, and also something of the peovle who honored the occa- sion with their presence. The honor of formally dedicating the hotel was tendered to uud carried out by the Trav- cling Men's Social club of this city. The club, though youag, is n a flourishing condi- tion, occupying large and well furnished rooms. A. J. Conlee is president and H. M. Chaso secretary. The members are: A. J. Conlee, O. H.

Since the organization of this club six more traveling meu have decided to move their families to Beatrice, and within the past ten days about ten additional members of the club have been secured, The club now numbers about fifty members, all resi- dents of Beatrice, & good many of them tak- ing an active part in all matters of public improvements and importance A short time ago Mr. 1. K, Creley, rictor of the Paddock hotel, tendercd the ree use of the Paddock to ‘the Traveling Meu's club for a banauet. The offer was euthusiastically accepted and May 10 set as the time, wkich was also to be the formal opeuing of the hotel. Among the guests following: From Omana Sau Wein. Mye H. 0.

The term will soon oclose, and in order to prevent any annoyunces, the superintendent, acting upon the advico of County Attorney Mahoney, to whom the matter was submitted, made the two ap- pointments. Many mountain streams abound in trout. The higher up one goes the more fish there seem to be, they mount- ing falls of soveral feet high in their ambitious progress toward the source of the water’s supply, The salmon, the cousin of the trout, isfamous for its method of going up stream; it darts at falls ton or twelve feet high, leaps into the air, and rushes up the falling water in a marvelous manner. So determined are the salmon to attain the high and safe waters that in some localities nets are placed beneath the falls, into which the fish tumble in their repeuted at- tempts to clear the hill of water. Other thanhuman hunters, howover, profit by these scrambles up hill, Truvelers report that on the banks of the upper St. John river, in Canada, there was once a rock in which a large circular well, or pot-hole, had been worn by the action of the water. At the salmon season this rock proved a favorite re- sort for bears; and for a good reason. Having an especial taste for salmom, the bears would watch at the pot-hole, and as the salmon, dashing up the fall, were frequently thrown over into it, the bears would fish them out without difficulty.
