The subject of discussion in Lincoln is still the question as to whether Governor- elect Boyd is asubject of Queen Vi of Uncle Sam. Prominent attorneys, in speaking of tho matter, say that if as alloged Boyd is not an Ameriean citizen, of course he cannot take Lis seat, and in.casé the present contest case fails to prove fraud, the elec will be null and \'oh&. In that case, they claim, the present incumbent, Goveruor Thayer, will hold o In case the legis] lature finds that Powers bhas a pluvali it is clmmed that Governo right to question it, In that case Powers will, it s held, have to apply for a quo warranto, and this will bring the matter be- fore the supreme court. A noted attorney, who does not wish to hava his name n tioned, declares that all the talk about Boyd's ineligibility 1s time wasted. *“Because,” says he, “Boyd served as a soldicr for nine months in the union army aud is according to law a naturalized citi; 1s o law was passed after the war, clothing all aliens with the full rights of citi- zenship who served in the union army."” SHOT IN TIE HEAD, ‘While Mabel Astloy, a nine-year-old girl, was sitting in _the doorway of her home at Twentieth and Q streets last evening about, 7 plelockshe was struck in the head with a bullet. that made an ugly but not fatal scalp wound.

The Clifton Hill Citizes club, composed of residents of Creighton Heights, Baker Place, Clifton Hill ana Saunders & Hime- baugh's addition, all lying along the western side of the Sixth ward, held its regular weekly mecting Saturday evening. The meeting was presided over by Presi- deut Beach, and J. T, Yates presided at the secretary’s desk, Henry Beals presented the report of the committec appoiuted ata previous meeting to Jees a petition to the city council asking or better five protection In the discussion which followed the read- ing of this Pelniou, it developed that the fire protection {n that section of the ward is en- tirely inadequate. Over one hundred and fifty houses have been evected in that vicin- ity the past season and they are without any rotection from flames. There are over four undred voters in that immediate vicinity, nting a population of 2,500. It was d thatthe new hose house, which it was proposed to erect at Hamilton street and Lowe avenue, would be useless, as far as this part of the ward was concerned, unless fire hydrants were placed at various points in these additions. The petition was finally adopted as pre- seuted by the committee, asking the council to place hydr.nts where they were needed, and received about one hundred signature Another petition was introduced asking the city council to place st 1anips ub cortain points in the western part of the ward. The petition stated that the sesidents of that lo- cality had had several lamps placed in pos tion and had paid for the same by voluntary contributions, and they now asked that the take these lamps pff the hands of the ribers. The petition was favorably re- ceived and was adopted unanimously. A committee feconsisting of Messrs. Gates, Senne, Beals and Millar was appointed to circulate this petition and present it to the council. T'he club then adjourned for one week. ki Ay Lord Chief Justice Coleridge.

Square Ropes Butter Than Flat. The newest thing in the transmission of power by belting or ropes is the useof square leather ropes. The grooves in which they run made to an angle of forty-five degrees, so that there is a per- fect [it of one-half the surface of the rope, more than is possible with a flat belt. The traction of a square rope is also greater than in a flat belt on account of the angles. The square leather ropes used for main driving are about one and one-fourth inches square, and are made up of layers of leather cemented so thut the whole is uniform and continuous, A rope of this size weighs a pound for each foot of length and will sustain a pull of 600 pounds. At aspeed of 2,500 feet per minute a square rope of this size will transmit twenty-five horse power. - “romwell's Baby Clothes.
