The county board of supervisors yeterday began the oficial count of the recent election. They had not procecded far before they struck a snag. The returns from the Second ward of this city seem mixed. The registery books and poll books did not agree. It scems that the clerks in fi'ling out the books found it necessary to add some extra shoots, there not being enough bound in the books, So with the tally sheets, Some of these loose sheets were placed in the ballot box instead of being returned with the books, and others of these loose sheets evidently got mislaid altogether, An effort was made yesterday to get some satis factory straightening of the re- turns, but it seemed such u puzzle that it was decided to sleep over it and determine today. whether a recount would be necessary or not. The returns on the judges seem 1o be in y. There ap- pear to have been 183 v cast for the judicial ticketthan for the other tickets, 1t is not thouglit that the muddle will cause any change in the results of the election, The only republican on the judicial ticket who has not a round majority, far beyond any danger, i Walter mith.

The returns from cond ward bear 1o evidences of fraud, her ignorance or cavelessness on the part of those whose duty it was to care for them, The returns of the First precinct of the Fourth ward were found to be rather mysti- and the clerks were called in to explain, were uble to do so, the trouble being that they had counted up the od the wesult in one colurn, instead 12 cach vote by a separate mark on With this explanation the board was soon uble to check up the returns satis- factorily. ———— MAKING THE FUR FLY.

Deficiont Security for City Documents. The heads of the city departments located in the old city building on Bryant, street dropped their busy pens for a few moments yesterday afternoon and entyrtaned Alder- man Wood, who had dropped in to look after sonie of the city's business, The officers and their deputies have not recov from the press of business that the last days of the month forced upon them, und great stacks of books and records, stubs and receipts were piled upon their desks, “There are some con niences about the old building, Alderman Wocd,” remarked one of the officers, us he turned on his revolving stool and pulled out a bond register from a pigeon hole. “It is no trouble, you see, to getany book or document you want, There is no dark vault orsafe to go into and hunt around until you find what you want. We zot all of the city's important books and ords right here in these pigeon holes, alway in sight and easy to get at.” “But it's not a very safe place to keep the l:it()"n ccount books,” drawled the alderman, “The might be stolen, and they would certaiuly be dosgroyed if there was™ to be a fire in the building.” “Of course they could bo stolea by any- body who took the trouble to pry up one of the windows and unlock the door, and there would be no chance of saving anything if o fire would brealk out, but to chuck them in these pigeon holes and pile them up on these racks are the the only places we have to keep them. Thercisnot a building in the city that could be more easily burglarized than this one, If some fellow who had an _object in destroying some of the city records desived 0 get 1nto the builaing he could accomplish it as casily as he could get into his neighbor's Dbarn. After each one of the heads of the various departments had poured this kind of hot shot into thealdermen for a few moments the con- versation took the form of a mutual demagid for better protection for city records. Alderman Wood and oral itizens who chanced to be the building at the time were taken through the offices and shown the piles and_stacks of records and valuable papers that were afforded no more protection than pine boards could give. In the treasurer's ofice beneath the counter and desk are a row of book shelves, and they were all filled with volumes he treasurer's registers dating back sev- eral years. They contain the registers of all warrans drawn and paid, and if they were to be destroyed the city would have nothing whate to show that the hundreds of thousands of dollurs worth of war- vants have cver been paid, ex- cept the stubs of the warrant books. ‘These are piled up on the top of the big safe n the auditor's ofice and would be the first thing to go in case of tire. In a closet in the rear of the ofico are stored special assess- ment certificates that are held in tzust to se- cure the payment of the bonds issued in pay- ment of all the paving, grading and sewer and other publio work done in the city during the past rears, 1f these were o~ be car- ried awa ¢ destroyed there would be noth- ing left for the city to use in prosecuting if the taxpayers should refuse to pay the re- mainder ~ of the special assessment taxes, and the result would be that several hundred thousund dollars’ worth of public improvements that have been as- sessed against private proverty would have to be paid by the vity, These are the cer- tiflcates held in trust to guurantee the pay- nient of the bonds, the city only acting as agent for the property owners in there deal ings with the bondholders. In thé anditor’s oftice their is the same mass of important documents accumulated and wholly unprotected. ‘“There ave at least 0,000 worth of receipts on topot that safe,” said Deputy Auditor Auwerda. hey ave of as much value as any other receipt, and if they were to stolen or destroyed, it ‘would mvolve the city in expensive itigation to prove that claims had been paid. We have only room in our big safe for our sets of ledgers and journals, and we can o nothing more than pile these records up in you see thewm." k's ofice is_in_even a worse condi- safe is filled with the mostim- portant books and cash, and there is no room for the valuable records. Taking all the departments and their un- protected contents into consideration, it is sufe to assume that a fire in the old building would be the means of damaging the city to the oxtent, eventually, of many hundred thousand dolla Alderman Wood was very much interested in the discussion and admitted the necessity of providing safer quarters for the city's valuable pupers. He had no plan to present, but felt satistied that adequate protection could begiven without plunging the city into tho tremendous expense of erecting a city hall, such as some aldermen hadsuggested by procuring a special act of the legislature enabling the city to issue bonds to the extent of 150,000 for the new building. He thought that the expenditure of 2,500, if wisely mad 3, would afford ample facilities for caring for all the records at tho present time and for several years to come. An addition could be built to the present building for that amount containing sufficient vault room for all the records. He was in favor of hav- ing the matter brought up in the council at once and the proper steps taken to have such an addition built.

Horsemen all over the country wiil be in- terosted in knowing that the famous stallion, Sandwich, owned by H. C. Graves & Sons, Wwho have @ nursery and stock farm near this city, one at Lee's Summit, Mo., and another at Sandwich, Ill., carried away the honors at the Chicago stallion show last Friday. Tho largest purse offcred was the sweepstakes, and among the competitors were somo the most noted horses on the but Saudwich was an easy win- Sandwich is of royal blood, and is o full brother to Maud 8. Chicago papers of Satnrday devoted a great deal of space to the splended performance of the handsome stallion, and his fine record has attracted the attention of horse-breeders all over the country. It is also a mattor of o good deal of tocal pride that such a royal animal is owned by Council Bluffs men. Mr. Graves and his sons_have pnrchased the Evans farm and are making some valnable improvements upen it. Prof. MoDermid's Succoss. A vecent issue of the Manitoba Daily Free Press devotes cousiderable space to a de- scription of the institution for the deaf and dumb, located at Winnipeg, and to the super- intendency of which Prof. McDermid was recently called from the institution in Coun- cil Bluffs. The Winnipeg institution is a new brick building, three stories in height, and with ac- commodations for fifty pupis. The Free Pmess says: “There are, il wppears, some thirty or forty children of this class in the province, whose parents have no udeguate conception of the advantages and comforts offered by the school in churge of Principal © D. "W, McDermid, —other- wise they would hasten to avail them. selves of the very liberal policy of the pro 5 would soon find him to be a man to whotn'tey could entrust their children, with thejfullest confidence that they would be kindly treated and taught in a painstaking way. They would then be in- troduced to Mis. McDermid, and would be charmed to know that the younger children are under her especial care; as sho has in a high degree the power to win their affection and competency to give instruction., The principal brings to his work a mature experi- ence, having taught in the Ontario institu- tion in the city of Bellevue for six years and in the Towa state institution in Couneil Bluffs for eight years befoye comng to Manitoba.

The third annual exnibition of the Western Art association was thrown open to the pub- lic last evening, the large room on the first floor of the New York Life building having been converted into an immense salon by the members of the hanging committee of the as- sociation, Messr: Stanbury, Catlin and Rothery, And the displdy is far superior to any pre- vious exhibition of the association. Through- out there has been an intelligent purpose on the part of the artists, professional and ama- teur alike, to make the best of their advan- tages, and the vesult is satisfactory both to the association and the art world of Omaha. ‘While there are a few pictures on the wall that will cause a smile to mantle the faces of the spectators, as a whole the exhibition is wonderfully commendable and will compare very favorably with thatof any similar art association in the west, Oue thing that will particularly strike the visitor is the great absence of landscapes, the artists seemingly baving confined them- selves to still li nd figures, This relates to the oils, Inthe water color department the reverse is uoticed, the wmajority of the subjects bewg scascapes and landseapes, with a floral piece and o figure now and then to give the desired relief from the monotony of marines, But it is in the oils the greatest advance will be remarked. Many of the professionals have for the time given over painting flowers and fruits, and have gone out into a larger field, which admits of broader 1deas, more Artists who last mention will thds excelicnt chance for one of the prizes which the association gives, and ama- teurs who were studying the groundwork of pective, color, form and size last year ve on the line studies that will attract uni- versal attention, if they do not secure the longed-for ‘‘honorable mention” from the committee of judges, But the exhibition must be seen to be ap- preciated, It is a most worthy display by the young association, which has reni‘y been the pioneer of artin Omaha, When the as sociation was formed chaos fittingly refle the condition art was in in this metropolis of Ncbraska, But the members of the organi- zation have worked and labored f he up- bulding of a new order of things in which art should have a prominent place, and the exhibitign which was formally opened last evening will show how well the work has been done. During the evening the gallery was visited by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cat- lin, r. and Mrs. Andrew Rose- water, r. und Mrs. Rhodes of New York, Hon, George W. Lininger, Colonel C, 1. Chase, Misss Ball, Mrs, Frances Mumaugh, Miss M, Butterfield, Mrs. John Briggs, Mrs. Edward Bosewater, Miss Rosewater. Touight the Newton art association, instead of meeting at the Linmger gallery, will hold the monthly meeting in the improvised gallery in the Life building where an informal recep- tion will be tendercd to Mr. John Mulvany, the celebrated avtist, and a number of other artists who will have pictures in the exhibi- tion which opens in the D. M. Steele building next week. el O g Preparing to Rejoice. The marshals and aides who will have charge of the celebration tonight held a meeting at the Barker last nighf to complete the final arrangements and lay out the lines of march, The head of the procession will start at Seventeenth aud Farnam, marching down “arnam as far as Tenth street, On the way down, the ward clubs will drop into line from the side streets, aud at Tenth street, the Council Bluffs delegation will join in and help swell the throng.

A better illustration of their (the whaleman's) proud spirif cannot be given than the encounter in Halifax between Greene, the mate of a Nantucket vessel, and the duke of Clarence, admiral of the British fleet and afterward William IV, says a writer in the Century. The dis- pute arose over the duke's attentions to a girl, and reached its climax in the Nantucket mate seizing the future king of England and hurling him downstairs. An eyo-witness of the affair was wont in after yoars to add ns a decorative detail that the click of the duke’s sword-hit was heard on every stair, Groeno at once went aboard his own ship and re- fused to obey a suminons from the ad- miral,who, it afterwards transpired, had intended to make the plucky N ‘ot man an officer in the English army. All the strategic resources of o quick, ready mind weve often ealled into play during a whaleman's career, not only in weathering storms and in avoiding de- struction of boats and loss of life when attacking whales, but also in escaping massacre from savage islanders and in outwitting pirates. In 1819 the whale- ship Syren, while on a voyage to the eastward of Cape Horn, met with an ad- venture which would have proved fatal to all hands but for a quick strategem of the mate, One fine day, off one of the Pelew islands, all the boats being after whales, and but a few men left aboard the vessel, a largo band of avmed natives suddenly swarmed over the bulwarks, The crew fled to the rigging, leaving the naked, howling savages in command of the ship. The mate, on coming alongside, took in the situation at a glance, and quic ordered the men to open tho arm chests and scatter on deck all the tacks they could find, Ina moment it fairly v tacks upon the naked savages. The deck was soon covered with these little nuils, They picrced the feet of the islanders, who danced about with pain, which inercused with every step they took, until, with yells of rage and agony, they tumbled headlong into the sea and swam ashore. Unforfunately in the gtruggle the mate received an arrow wound just over one of his eyes and was obliged to retire from the pratvna ey 1602.

The latest eccentricity of Viennese fashion is a passion for fans of mountain cock feathera The last question the young Austrian belle asks her admirer hefore he goes ona hunt is: *“Won’t you try, please, to bag me a fine fan?”’ An ideal fan of this kind must contain only feathers from birds brought down by “the most expert shots, and every feather must be the lone representa- tive of the giver’s skill. Consequently such an ideal fan may record the ad- miration and skill of sixty or seventy hunters. It isalso not unusual to have cut in the ribs of the smuller fans a brief account of the circumstances under which the giver of the attached feathers shot the bird. The German empr Aungusta Vietoria, is said to have e pressed a wish last summer to have such ), and ever since that time the young bloods of the Austrian court, who have already bagged fans for their own women, have been shooting right and left for her sake. The handle of the fan, now being completed in Vienna, will be set with jewels in the Prussian colors. ———— Casey and Kernan Sent Up. Larry Casey and Jerry Kernan, two of the toughest men who try to get aliving by questionable methods in Omaha, were tried yesterday afternoon in public court for creat- ing a disturbance in a disreputable den on Ninth street. Casey was tried upon a charge of having resisted Ofiicer Kissane when the officer ar- rested him. Judge Helsley fined him $100 and costs and sent him to the county jail in default of payment. Kernan was sent to jail for thirty days, with the instructions that during the first ten and last ten he shall be given nothing but bread and water, This is the pair that assaulted the man Carter in a saloon on Tenth street about two months ago und left him in the sticet for dead, Keep some Cook's Extra Dry Imperial Champagne in_your ice chest; it's splendid for company or for diune Caught in a Buzz Saw.

All the platinum of commerco comes from Russinn mines in the Ural mountaing, and the supply hardly sufticient for the demand at pres- ent. The consumption of platinum groatly increased since the cleet lighting companies began its use. Did you ever observe the tiny, hairlike wire Joop in cach incandescent light? That wire is made of platinum, which is one of the very hardest of metals, The price of platinuin has gone up to about $20 an ounce,which is considerable highor than 22 earat gold.
