The association is youug, but the art enthusiasm among its members is unbounded. This feeling amonse the art associations in Chicago, San Fran- cisco, and other western cities has belied the carping critics of the east, who have al- ways pooh-poohed the idea of the west being capable of any true art feeling.

Nasmvirie, Teon,, Nov. 18.—Mrs. Foster, president of the lowa State Union Lof the Woman's Christian Temperance union, said to a reporter to-night that she has had no couference with any member of the society since leaving Chicago, but she Las been greatly encouraged by the warm assurances, approval and support which have come to her from all parts of the country. “‘We were 1n a very smull minority at the late convention,” said she, “but aresus- tained by a ereat majority of other temper- ance workers.” Mra Foster spoke at length about the fight of tne lowa union against the parlisan movement and the reprouches and injustice they have met with at the hands of the na- tional organization. She says the new pro- visional committee will take steps to gather into the central organization women who wish to carry on genuine temperance work without reference to any political party or- ganization, *“We shall not,” said she, “go into party building or party smashing business. *Miss Willard cannot do what the newspapers say she intends In the state of lowa.

The little bodies called eye-stones are really portions of the covering of cer- tain shell-fish, They are placed at the ovening of the shell, and serve to close the entrance when the animal draws itsell within, They are of various kinds, but those used as eye-stones are hard. bony bodics, about tne size of split peas, one-third to one-sixth of an inch io diameter, a little longer than broad, having one surface plain, the other convex. When they have been worn by the action of the sew, they are very smooth and shining, but in their natural state the convex surface is covered with fine markings, They are then a brownish color in the center, shading off to white at the margin, . Like other shells, they are composed of carbonate of hme.

The first two blocks of brick payv- 1 done in the city, on Willow avenue, from Pearl to Seventh streets, was put down all right and will last 8o far ‘as anything 1s con- cerned but the quality of *he brick used, but you can’t say thut of the rest of the brick paving in the aity, Brick paving can- not be laid as it should be for less than $1.85 per yard, and that is what Wickbam was paid for his first job. What kind of a foundation does it make to dump in a lot of sand and go over it with a little horse roller? It s foolish to think of using anything buta heavy steam roiler, which will give a hard foundation, In Bicomington and Peoria.

Then a layer of sand is rolled on top of that, and you have a founda- tion that would stand anything. In Colum- bus, O., they use a layer of crushed stone, which packs as hard as solid rock. The ecifications here call for gravel or cinde and the latter was used on the first job, but that was the end of it. Now, a little sand smotled over on top seems (6 answer every burpose. Such a_foundation can not stand, and a big howl will.go up when the property owners find that the paving does not wear as they expected it to, ‘“Tho brick that is_being laid here is not what it should be. 1f the couting of sand was removed, Twill venture to say that av Jeast one-third of the bricks in the center of the street would be found cracked or crushed. — Brick for paying purposes should be as hard ay drain tile, and thers is no reason why it can not be secured.

T. McAttee, 234 Main, line fancy groceries in ¢ - Where Are the New Towers? At its meeting last evening the council de- cided to purchase another new tower, so that four instead of three new towers will have 10 bepurchased. As the lights are now lo- cated the southern poruon of the city will be lighted most completely, and syith the excep- tion of perhaps two or three more lights needed in the central portion of the city, the system will undoubredly give satisfaction, unless it is on lower Broadway, where a de- mand is made for a splendidi;’ lighted drive between the two cities. . About hall a dozen more low lights are required to properly illuminate this thoroughfare as it should be, and the location of these, with the changing of the main tower in that part of the city to Avenue B, would settle the light question most satisfactorily, so far as_the great majority are concerned. Con- siderablo adverse criticism is heard because N0 progress 1s apparent in the mutter of put- ting up the new towers, and it is evident that they will not be ready when the present light contract expires and the other new lights are started up on the 15th of next month. The council has advertised for bids tor erecting three new towers, and such bids aroto be re- ceived until noon of the 2d day of December, “Thera are but four kinds of towers manu- factured,” said a reoresentative of a leading gas machinery manufacturing company, who was in the city yesterday, ‘‘and some of these should bo out of tho market. They are the ‘Adams,’ ‘Star, ‘Indianapolis’ and “Dotroit.” Iam’ not personally interested in any of them, but I will teil you that the Bluffs has the best and safest” kind mas 1t 18 the *Detroit,’ and is far ahead of any. thing in the line yetproduced. The ‘Adams’ has gone by, as being too clumsy, and taking up too much ground space. The other two are open to the latter objection, and the safety of the attendant is not as well pro- vided for as in the Detroit. [ understand your council is going to put up some more of ihem this fall, and they ought to be at it, The material ought to be on the ground now, and tho men at work. If the bids are not to be opened until the first of the month, it will be some time in January before they are up, and stormy weather will pinch things before then.

The mayor was absent and-Alderman Lacy presided, and Aldermen Knepher, Everett and Waterman constituted the council. The question of who was 1o pay for the fill- ing of the ditches excavated by the motor company on Avenue A was discussed, but no action was taken, Several petitions for the revision of taxes were presented and reforred. Kimball & Champ asked the council to ap- point & jury to appral the property and condowmn as much of 6 as is necessary for an atley on the west 8ide of the lots purch- ased for the now hotel, the alley to be used for the purpose of“the hotel.

The motion prevailed, Alderman Lacy asked for an additional arc light on Glen avenue and ’omona street, and Alderman Kuepber made the same re- quest for the corner of Scott and Mynster, but the requests were denied. Upon_motion of Aldermau Kuepher the bill of the waterworks company for hydrants on Lower Hroadway was reconsidered and sllowed. The peticion of J. W.

In order to succossfully carry out their inten. tions, the company must find some means of getkinig ncros the rivor, as the Union Pa; cific folks will not allow them & right is to build another WAY Across their vridg: Tho only thing loft bridge, and this is what the twin cities are asked to do, If the Blufts will appropriste £150.000 and Omaha_£250,000, the company will take the #400,000 thus voted, and try to fultill their agreement, Alderman Lacy was asked yesterday whether the required bonds would be voted, **No, they will not,” was the positive an- swor. “Why! Because the citizens are not ot flllod with the conviction that it is a ne ity to that extent. If any such move made, the old company would buy the franchise of the new one, and then wver, thing would stop. A free bridge would be a grand good thing, but it is not necessary 1n order to get a b.cent motor fare, and hat is what we want more than anything else. Let tell you something—insido of sixty days there will be a 5-cent fare given by the new company. It will be given for certain hours, morning, noon and night, even if it is not made as a straight rate. It won’t take any free bridge to get that, for it is already as- sured. Never mind where 1 get my au- thority, but take it for granted that the pub- lic will have a 5.cent fare shortly after the beginning of the new year.” The School Board, The board of education held its regular monthly meeting last evening, all of the members except Mr, Rain being present, and President Stewart in the chair, Miss Mattie Saunders, who was appointed by the teachers’ committee, and is teaching at the Hill school, was duly clected. and her salary fixed at §0 per month. ‘The committee appointed to examine the maniking submitted for school use, requested more time, which was granted. The city scavenger wanted the work of cleaning school property, and the matter was referred to the committee on grounds and buildings. 3. L. Shubert appeared and wanted the board to allow the use of the Strectsville chooi for the purpose of holding a Christian Sunday school. The petition was tabled. Rev. S. Alexander wanted to rent to the board the new Mothodist chiurch at Streets- ville, for #25 per month. The committee on grounds and buildings was instrucied to rent it, if it could be secured for $10 a month. Messrs Stewart and Hunter resurrected the matter of erecting a new building in tho western 1 of the city. as voted at tho spring election, but the remainder of tho board sat down on it very heavily. A communication from Weighmaster Amy, showing the comparative weights of loads of coal weighed on different scales, was read, und President Stewart desired to know why the coal for the schools was not weighed on the city scales, as provided by the contract. Chairman Lawson, of the committeo on fuel, arose and explained that he had had over twenty loads weighed on the Honn Car- bon Coal company’s and city scales, and the city scales did not make them weigh any less than the others, so he allowed the com- paoy to weigh on their own scale: The mml,:ur was passed without taking any action on t. Bills aggregating over $2,000 were allowed, u coal bill for $00 being among the number. After transacting a little other routine business the board adjourned, -~ Chautauqua. The joint committees of the board of trade and the Chautauaua trustees are to meet at the board of trade rooms this evenfng at 7:30 o'clock, to report on their recont canvass for the sale of Chautauqua lots, Tur I3ex will be glad to hear such report from this meeting as will conyince the people of this city and Omaha, and the public at large. of the assured success of this excellent enter- prise. ‘Lo the citizens of this comwunity it may be stated that the “Chautauqua Plan," for the diffusion of the higher thought of mformation and entertainment, is the best medium in the reach of everyone, It was 80 demoustrated last’ scason, and this was attested 0 by the fact that many declared theirsurprise at the gl'mld system of teaching the different ranches of art, science, music and trmning of thought in 80 many Ways. Who did not enjoy listening to such men as Vincent, Dur- yea, Henson, DeMott, Prof. Case and many other ment When these cominittees call upon you do not hesitate or say, “I will think the matter over,” for we will frankiy say thetime for halting is past, and now is the time to ““quit ourselves like men,”” ana take alotor two. It was the prompt and con- certed action of all that rested the new hotel scheme where it now is, upon an assured foundation, and there is no reason why we cannot be favored withthis enterprise resting upon a like basis. o As stated in yestorday’'s BEr, a raid was made Sunday night on the parties who have been unlawfully seining in the waters of Lake Manawa.
