The democratic city convention is over, and democracy has placed its tickot in the fleld.

There were probably five hundred specta- wors, but they w very orderly and created no disturbance whatever, Thay were only beard trom when applauding the result of the balloting as announced by the chairman, All caucusivg had been done on the outside, and there was little work to bo done on the floor of the convention, so that thero was nothing to delay matters, and everything went oft with an ease and rapidity that was a decided mnovation and improvement on the usual proceedings of such P. . Burke, chairman of t contral commjttee, called the meeting to order. Hon. W. H, M. Pusey was electea chairman and Anton Rink secretary, Conrad Geise, J. R. Diétrich and P. Lacy were appointed & committee to draft resolu- tions. The committee on credentials consisted of James Wickham, W, H. Kuepher, A. C.Gra- ham, J. R. Dietrich, N, O'Brion and George The committees retired and during their absence the temporary organization was made permanent. Chairman Pusey mado a short address in which he vigorously scored the kickers who had dared to buck against the rulings of the ring, in view of the “unparalleled prosper~ ity enjoyed by the city during the ‘incum- of tho ‘present” city administration. His remarks served to call forth broad grins on the faces of the unruly democrats, es- pecially those of the Second ward. The only thing that looked like enthusiasm was when the speaker referred to the coming in- auguration of Governor Boies, when a ripple of applause swept over the house, ‘The committee on credentials reported in favor of seating the delegates previously an- nounced as having been chosen at the cau- cuses on Saturday and Monday evenings, Nick O'Brien kicked against allowing a proxy to vote for Jama2s O'Neill of the Fourth ward, but he was promptly squelched. The convention then tookan informal lot for mayor. Tho result was as follows First Ward—Keating 1, Aylesworth 4, James 3, Second Ward—James 7. Third Ward—James 1, Keating 8, Lacy 1.

On the formal ballot Paris Had 22, Lanstrop 14, Johnson 6, Tyson L. Paris’ nomination was made unanimous, For alderman-at-large the informal ballot gave Wadsworth 12, Weaver 8, Cones 12 and White 11, On the formal ballot it hegan to look as if the first real fight was on haod, as the wards began changing votes and at the close.of the first call no choice bad been ef- fected, Wadsworth lacking one vote, The chairman ordered another call that there might be no mistake. A little vigorous work was done with the Sixth ward delegation and the vote of that ward was changed from Cones to Wadsworth, resulting: Wadsworth 27, White 16, Wadsworth was declared the unanimous nominee. The informal baliot for “city 80T gave Tipton 25, Lange 17, Patton 1. On the for- mal ballot 'lipton received 25, Lang 18, The nomination of two members ‘of the school board was next inorder.

It resulted: Law- son 14, Wells 5, McMitlan 10, Elwell 11, It was a misunderstanding bolween ‘the Wells and Elwell men, but. they determined to rec- tify it on the second ballot, which resulted: Elwell 26, Lawsons 16. Elwell's nowination was announced amid great applause. The informal ballot for the secona mem- ber of the school board gave Lawson 14, McMilan 16, Rain 9, Wells 3.

The rules were sus- pended and A. C. Grabam was nominated by clamation, . of the Fourth ward then intro- duced the following resolution : Resolved, By the democratic party of the i}l‘,‘{lul Couucil Bluffs in convention assem- al- Seo- ‘Third ward— Fourth ward— Fifth ward— Hun- Sixth ward—Hnonter 1, 1. We pledge ourselves and the nominees of this convention to clean the sirects snd alleys of the oity, . We pledge ourselves and the nominees of this convention to economise aud s far as possible reduce the sxnenses of the city of Council Bluffs tothe lowest point consistent with the maintenance of & good eity govern- meaot., 8. We pledge ourselves and the nominees of this convention that i s nated tod el 10 close the saloons sud gawb! houses of Council Bluffs at 2 midnight, and keep until 6 o’clock a. m., and to o'clock midnight on Saturday night and keep thom closed until 0 o'clock a. m. on Monday morning during the eansuiug two vears, The first sections of the resolutions were evidently approved, but when it came to the final clause consternation was depicted on the countenances of nearly every one of the delegates, Pat Lacy couldn’t wait for Shea to finish reading the unwelcome document, but began to loudly vociterate that it was aitogether out of orde: Considerable lavghter followed and a fow derisive remarks showod that the resoiution wis not one that toucted a responsive chord in the hearts of the leaders of the unterri tied. Chairman Pusey very evidently diss approved of it, as he flushed noticeably, and was vory quickly on his feet to state that the republicans were the custodians of the pub- lic morals, and he did not see the necessity for passing any such resolution. He suavely called attention to the fact that the pariy had just nominated @ good, clean ticket, * and that the statutes pro- vided' for regulating all the noxious things referred to in the resolution, He declared that it was proper to present such o resolution, but he could aot put 1t bo- fore the convention, as it had not been s onded, aud he was rather unduly hastening to consider a motion to adjourn, when Mr. Shea again demanded recognition and in- ;L!h:\l thut Mr, Muller had seconded his reso- ution., It was like pulling teeth, but it had to be considered. Mr. Lacy at this point jumped into the ring, and repeated his provious as- sertion that such proceedings wers out of order, as the convention had previously do- cided to refer all resolutions to the commit- tee appointed for that purpose. Here was an opportunity to smother the objectionable resolution, and the chairman coincided with the views of Mr. Lacy. Mr. Shea, however, would not be extinguished 80 easily, insisting that inasmuch as the mo- tion to refer 1t to the committee with in- structions to report forthwith was properly before the convention it should be voted ou. There were about a_dozen ayes, and when the nays were called Mr. Lacy’s voice alone fractured the circumambient atmosphere. It was followed very closely by Dan Car- rigg’s, and a third floated up from some un- known source, The chairman demanded a call of wards, and the secretary recorded the vote as 28 to 11 in favor of the motion, four not voting. The Fifth ward reported two i favor and oue against, and the chairman stated that ‘‘the others don't care.” The committes thereupon took the resolu- tion, and shortly returned with a favorable report. The report was received and the committes discharged, after wiich & husly adjournment was taken, Shea was roundly censured for introducs ing the resolution. “*Why," said one kicker, ‘'he was not even a delegate. He was just Jimmie O'Neill’s proxy, and to think of him doing a thing like that.” *1t placed us ina tight position,” remarked another, To endorse it meant the con- demnation of the past two years, and to re- fuse to pass it-would be un open advocacy of unrestricted license of the saloon and gam- bling element, It landed us between the devil and the deep sea, and it should never have been introduced.’” e The handsomeat and cleanest market, best meats and lowest prices at J.

It is un- derstood that several of the nominees on the democratic ticket will be endorsed, and that the places of objectionable ones will be tilled by good representative citizens, regardless of politics or party affiliation. The strongest kick by leading democrats who favor the citizens' movewment is directed against James for mayor. There is a movement on foot to nominate J. E. . McGee for that office, and although - he is a democrat he 18 supported by the lead- ing men of both parties. Another of the regular democratic nomi- nees, whose nomination is regarded with very general disfavor, is G. S. Lawson, who Wwants to serve another term as member of of the school board. It 18 very probablo that Lucius Wells will be nominated in op- position to bim, ‘The “'ring’’ democrats insist that no dem- ocrat can be induced to accept a place on the eitizens’ ticket, bat that they are far ffom Dbelieving it is appareat from their action in the Second ward. As 18 well known, they were knocked out in that ward by I P, Bellinger, who secured the democratic nomination for ward algder- man in spite of the strongest opposition. W. J. Lauterwasser was put up against him, and now, instead of abiding by the result of the caucus, they are openly trying to defeat Bellinger, and are trying to get Lauterwas- ser a place on the citizens’ ticket, The Globe is bitterly attacking Bellinger and proposes to defeat him, even if by so doing a republi- can must be nominated. “I want to say one thing,” sald a Bellinger man last evening, “and that is that it mukes a big difference with the Globe which foot the shoe is on. At the Second ward caucus Monday night, when they thought they had a dead sure thing to defeat Bellinger, they said chat all must be harmonious after the caucus and that no matter who was nominated, the voters ought to submit to the result, Colonel Whittlesey made a speech just before the polls were opened and got off the same kind of talk, Now you see hiow much they meant by it, It seems that it wasto apply if it went the other way. If we were defeated we must fall in line without a kick, but they are not to follow such a rule. It seems to me that sauce for the goose is sauce for the male bird, The Globe's gem case is open and the rare jewel, consistency, has slipped out. Idon’t blume them for wanting the city printing, but I would like to see them practice what they preach.’” ——— The Council Bluffs lnsuranco companys’ average annual income since organization Disbursements co organiza.on for losses and other ex- penditures now exceeds $1,000,000.00.

For a loog time the Wabash company has been annoyed by partiea stealing coal from cars in the yards, and Tuesday night con- cluded to place a watch, About 10 o'clock the watchers were rewarded for their vig- lance. Three parties approached the cars and in a short time wero engaged in carry- ing away sacks of coal. They were placed under arrest, and at the station gave the names of Albert Roberts, Charles Roberts and Eda Lovely, They were slated with lar- ceny, and su additional charge of carrying concealed weapons was put after the name of Roberts, He had a buge 35 in*a belt under his ooat. ‘U'be parties were arraigned before Judge Aylesworth yesterday morniog and all ac~ knowledged taking the coal, but denied tak- ing it from the cars, claiming that they picked it up along the tracks.

If ever a place in _these latitudes was entitled to the appellation of “emerald’ it i cilly, for, on account of its exceedingly genial climate, the vegeta- tion is surprisingly fresh and luxurious, and the stranger who has imagined that he would find but scant verdure on these islands by the winter sea will be lost in amazement and ecastsy at the surprise that awaits him at every turn 1n this veritable little liden.

It was finished in 1743 at a cost of 85,000,009, occupying thirty-seven years in construction. It is of cut stone and is one firm mass of masonry, covers ai entire square, and its front extends across one side of the Grand Plaza. Like similar buildings whose ruined arches and walls may be seen in Antigua .de Guatemala this church has walls at least fifteen feet in thickness, and has the solidity of a rock. Numerous earthquakes have produced no impression, and the storms of a century and a hulf have in no way injured its fine auality of stone. ‘While inspecting its interior I met the cure, an old gentioman of perhapssixty- five years of age.who, though a well traveled European, had' never visited the United Stateg.. He told me that in the numerous disputes between Leon and Grenada the charch had often been converted 1nto a fortress.and sfstained a fow bombardments from besieging forces. Thirty pieces of artillery are said to have been planted on its roof at one time.and on 'its eastern side there are many indentations made by shot. This cathedral was once possessed of great wealth, the chancel was sur- rounded with a railing of solid silver, while the altar ornaments were of gold. With the exception of the cup and plate used at mass, the church has no orna- ments_of precious metals now. Much was shipped to Spain, and what re- mained did not escape'the rapacity of the soldiers. who have many times ad- vanced and retreated through Leon. e SHE HAD BEEN TO CHURCH. Her Husband Was Proud ot Tried to Display Her. Ihave a friend who doesn’t go to church himself, but sends his wife reg- ularly, says & writer in the Lewiston Journal. I dined with him last Sunday, and he took advantage of the circum-~ stances to display her devotional ten- dencies before cdmpany. “*What was the text, asked. “*Oh, something somewnere in Gen- ntions; I've forgotten the chapter and 1t and Sue?” he verse. Mrs. Hughes sat rightin front of me, wearing the worst looking bonnet I ever saw on a woman’s head.”” "I’I,aw did you like the mew minis- ter? “Obh, he was simply superb! And Kate Selwin was there in a sealskin that never cost a cent less than $100.” ‘:Did he say anything about the new mission fund?” ‘“*No; and the Jones girls were rigged out in their old silks made over. You would have died laughing to have seen them.” **It seems to me you didn’t hear much of the sermon.” *The fact is, George, the new minis- ter has a lovely voice; it almost put me to sleep.” . A long silence followed,during which George absently helped me to pickles and mustard, while his wife sat looking as demure as a saint at a circus, Sud- denly she exclaimed: *There! I knew I'd forget to tell you something! The fringe on Mrs. Brown’s cape is an inch deeper than mine, and twice asheavy!” = My friend changed the conversation to the latest new novel, el L A JOHN KISSED THE BRIDE, And the Blushing Creature Said, "0, Mr, sullivan!” That modest yet mighty man, John Lawrence Sullivanygis getting to be a social lion, and Wird McAllister had better look to his laurels or the cham- pion of the world Will pluck a few from the society leader’s well-filled crown, says the New York World, Mr Sulli- van does not aim to shine in society. and for this reasow/declines on an ave- rage eleven out of. ‘every dozen invita~ tions to balls and receptions which he receives. But he was induced to accept an invitation to a wedding party on Friday night, and he made what in the- atrical parlance would be termed a tre- mendous hit, particularly with the fair sex. Samuel I’el'thlfwu. a diver by profession, divested himself of his pon- derous rubber suit on Tuesduy and started for Brunswick, Me., where dwelt a charming widow. Mrs, Dough- erty by name, who had promised to his for all time. The widow put an end toall thoughts Mr. Perrington may have had about a breach-of-promise suit by keeping her word, and in a quiet chucch up among the pines they were married, finw, Mr. Perriog- ton being a wise and generous wman, had fitted up & cosy home for bis bride in the apartment- house No. 287 Seventh avenue, before be left town, and when the happy FEBRUARY DYvd couple arrived, about midnight, they found a merry coterie of frionds waitiug towelcome them. The champion had met the fascinating widow before, and | directly ghe entored the parlor, blush- ing like a school girl and looking at the carpet through her snapping black eyes, he rose and claimed the privilege of kissing the bride, und didn’t wait to seo whether or not she was agreeable, oither, but pressed his lips agninst the little woman’s rosy cheek without fur- ther ado. Mrs. Pervington blushed @ deeper scarlet, and casting a coy glauce at the smiling champion, she said in a musical whisper: ° “O N Now, Mr. uilivan Sullivan knows a thing or two, and he understood the bride per- fectly. ~She did not object, and John, with all the gallantry of one of King George's courtiers, repeated the opera- tion, and this time his osculatory pro- ceeding made & pronounced smack “Mr. Sullivan,” said the b pealingly, “please don’t,” Next Thomas Canary claimed the pri- vilege, and pretty Mrs. Perrington suf- fered herself to be kissed by every man im the room,and every man who kissed her would have been glad to follow the an- champion’s example, but Perring- ton naturally interposed an objoction, Then the health of bride and bridegroom was drunk collectively and afterwards individually, so many times, in fact that it would have been hard to count them. But the champion drank nothing but soda, and he enjoyed him- self thoroughly.

Comparatively few people realize how much their health and vitality depends upon the fway they b.eathe. A good supply of fresh and fully oxygenized aiv is of greater importance to maintain strength than rich and nourishing food. All the blood in the body is thus pumped through the heart evi four miuutes. If, at any time, the airis not duly genized it caunot fullv perform its office in cleansing the blood of im- purities. A sluggish circulation re- sults as a matter of course. A slight cold taken when the blood is in this con- dition naturally settles on the lungs, and the dread destroyer in our north- ern climate, tubercular consumption, soon hurries the victim to his grave. The benefits of deep breathing are greatly increased by having a cold and dry atmosphere. Breathed, ns this should he, it is notfully warmed until it enters the lungs, and its expansion by heat in the lungs stretches the air cells and enables subsequent inspirations to be much fuller. If there are any im- ities on the lungs the oxygen of the air unites with them and removes them. No better receipt for maintaining health can be given than to exercise much in the open air, to breathe through the nostrils, keeping the mouth closed, and if the work be such as to cramp the body, to straighten up frequently and take several full inspirations. Itought not to be difficult to remember that the mouth isto be kept closed, and all the breathing, no less than the full inspira- tion, is to be through the nose. When the habit of deep breathing is once formed the lungs will thenceforward al- ways require larger supplies of air. Aniclbarold i A Curious Episode of the War. A veteran of the —— Connecticut regiment of volunteers keeps at home @ handsome uniform of a confederate officer which was never worn but by him: self, and to which he owes some months or yoars of liberty, if not life itself, says the Harper’s Magazine. He was a tailor before the civil war, and when he was captured on the bat- tle-field this fact reached the ears of the commander of the prisoners’ bar- racks. B * . “Egad! I'll have the Yunkee goose- pusher make me a uwew suit,” said the offlcer, gazing at his diagy uniform. The finest gray cloth, gold-lace and bright buttons were brought to the tailor prisoner, who worked cheerfully away at the welcome employment. On the evening the suit was to be deli ered, however, a bright idea occurred ty him, and soon what was all appear- ance a spruce confederate officer walked past the guards and and was seen no more in that part of Dixie. History kindly draws the veil over the exple- tives vented on the ‘‘nutmeg Yankee' for not only gaining his liberty---he earned that---but for taking that prec- ious suit, which cost 50 nuny hundreds of good confederate moneyl e Bringing the Bank Terms. A wealthy New Yorker had an ex ing parley in the Bank of England when he presented a number of notes for exchange into American money says Rugene Field in a_London letter to the Chicago News. ‘“We don’t know you, sir,” smd tha teller., ‘‘You must be identified.” *‘I shall not be identified,” said the New Yorker. ‘You must cash your notes or I shall make trouble.” The cashier came up and tried to smooth things over; he spoke about the time-honored custom, ete, ‘*At least,” said the cashier, *‘we shall require you 10 put your name on the back of the notes,” “I shall do nosuch thing,” vociferated the New Yorker. “I am solvent and entire responsible; I shall not endorse your paper, and (taking out his watch) unless you accept your notes in five minutes’ time I shall send them to protest.” This hewgic treatment created a great seunsation in the sleepy old bank; but the notes were cashed and the New Yorker went his way trivmphantly. He was Jay Gould’s secretary, Morosini. DIRECTIONS with each BmmiE, 4 For CUTS and WOUNDS. Mederville, Iows, Au, T eut my foot with an axe:'St. Jacobs cured me up nicely.
