In retiring him the council, At 1ts regular seesion last night, took ooca- sion t differ with Mayor Bemus.

In the veto communication the mayor stated that 1f the inspector was not & competent person somo other,patty should be appainted for the protection of the city. Inspeakingof Mr. Wilson, the mayor wrote: 0 far as Mr, Wilson Is concerned, I believe he has rendeved considorable effective service for the city. I believe in an inspector who in- apects, and not ons who sits around and draws nis salary. It is a notorious fao t that a number of the inspectors now engaged in so-called inspection of public works are of the latter class. Some of theso nspectors bave sacceeded, according to the appropria- tion bills, in putting in thirty-one days’ time tu the month of July, notwithstanding five Sundays and the IYourth of July occurred in said month,” This message had the same effect that iv would to flaunt a red rag in the faces of a lot of mad male bovines. Mr. Chaffeo said that if the mayor had churges to nake against any city official he should make them specific and not gensral- ize. There had been too much of that class of work going on during the past six montns, Mr. Prince took occasion to remark that ‘when Wilson Was appointed bis duties were defined. Flo was appointed to inspect walks laid by private parties, Neglecling his duties, ho acted as & spy. Mr. Jacobson spoke uvon the subject, say- ing that the couneil understood that Mr. ‘Wilson was to inspeet walks atd not offl- cials, If the counci wanted to conduct an investigation, it had committees which were competent 10 dischargo those duties without the aid of a sny who was on the city pay roil.

He waid that fully 40 per cent of the lamps run far below the sixteen-candie rnwur providea for by contract. In Clifton Hill, Druid Hill and other additions night after night the lamps remained unlighted. Mr. Prince stated that in his opivion the way to improve the service would beto witnhola payment of the bills. Mr. Bruner thought the lamps were beicg handled better than they had been, Mr. Jacobson was of the opinion that the only way to get service would be to cut off the payment of the bills. The report and the bill of the lighting company went to the committees on finance and gas and electric lights, W. H. Ijams resignod as au appraisor ap- polnted to nssess damages arising from the construction of the Sixteenth street viaduct. The muyor named W. G. Shriver to fill the vacancy.

At 1 p. m. asalute of thirteen guns was fired in honor of Commander Dilworth, At # p. m. the first address was delivered by Chaplain Diffenbacher, subject, **The Navy." In introducing the chaplain, Goneral Dil- worth said: “We are just commenciog our fourteentn anoual reunion. Yesterday was rather aamp but today is typical Nebraska air and sunshine. Wae expect all the breth- ren to assist each other to do as little kick- ing as possible for while we are very cora- fortably situated there are always some who think things are 0ot beiug manuged as they should be. “In this oryanization we have no relizion | or politics, It is neutral in both, The only test of iwelcome here is that | you must have been a Union soldier aud carried a gun 10 defense of the United | States. Nothing but soldier talk will be tolerated. This reunion must be runso as ' to hurt the feellngs of noone. Now I will introduce the chaplain. In war times 1t was thought a chaplain was neoessary. His prin- | ciple duties were the entertaining of visitors, eating nospital supplies and drawing his salary. This chaplain was & cavairyman and we used to say when the cavalry went in front there would be no fighting that day, but while he rode & norse, his subject will be ‘“I'he Navy.'" Plensed the Veterans, Chaplain Diffenbacher stepped to the front and if aoy who heard his speoch wero not convinced that the navy has | been A more potent factor in the his- tory ofthe world than the army, he was undeceived. Immediately after tke address the Illiuois veterans fell in lize, | headed by the Weston band and were pro- sented A handsome banner made and presented by Miss Minerva K. Sloan of Beaver Crossiug, The work on 1t was a combination of embroidery and paintin On one side was painted an eagle and fla and the words, *In Honor of Illinols.” On the reverse side was the same inscription over a dove.

Miller, leader of the Kearney band, and A. P. Hoover, leader of the Ausley baad. At the Camp Fire, The camp fire at night was presided over by Captain Honry. Ho first spoke for nearly an hour on the Grand Army of the Republic, drawing 1argely from bis fand of avecdotes ana reminiscences of the war, In jotro- ducing Major Burton of Kavsas the captain remarked that moresoldiers enlisted from the state of Kansas than from any other state in the union, which was ulways a happy thought, but connected with it was the sad knowledge that more Kausas soldlers never came back than from any other state, Major Burton talked for thirty winutes, Ho said: “I'he war was not fought bocause we had a grudge against the soutn but to pre- serve the unjon,” 1o speakiog of the present condition of the veteran he remarked that “if twenty yea more were added to the age of the youn | 05t vetsran * he would be abour 70 years old, so that we cannou lust much longer, but we have planted a tree, un- der the sbade of whiech our sous and daugh- tors may rost ana refresh themsolves.

In Advanee of Astronomers., Orp, Neb, Aug. 80.—[Special to Tur Bee.|—Mr. H. P. Mwden, a farmer living near Ord, bas lately become aware of the possesaion by himselt of a marvellous gift. Heis able with bis naked eye to see many things on the planet Mars that the ablest astronomers have as yet faliea to dis- cover. The planet assumes to his eye a di- umoter of about twenty inches. He has made several observations and a fow even- ngs ago saw an _arc of brilliant light near the southern pole of the planet, in what, using for convenience earthly nomenclature, may be called the anarctic circle. 1t is at present invisiole, He at present sees a large arc of equally brilliant licht in the north tem- perute zone that stretches from verge to verge of the planet. These, he fecls con- ficent, are electric lights and as the lurger urc disapveared and reappeared several times one evening he believes it isan effort of the inhabitants of Mars to communicate with us, and is therefore confi- dent that Mars, like the earth, is inhabited by a race of intelligent beings. Toward the southeast extremity of the Arctic circlo and extending in an arc-shaped form he saw a light bright as the electric light, but tinged with blue, which he be. lieves is an eleotric zone surrounding the pole of the planet. Ha is of the opinion that A similar zone encircles the poles of our earth, and thinks this will forever prevent man from reaching that object of so much effort and so much failure—the North pole. He suggests that it is the reflootion of this zone on tho cloud strata tnat mekes that beautiful appearance on the northern heav- ons called aurora borealis. The strange part of it is that Mr. Maiden is short-sighted and since he was 28 vears old —nearly twenty-five years ago—has worn spectacles. With his spoctacles on the planet is but a spec of light on the blue void of night, but when they have been removed this marvellous transformation is apparent. Iie first noted this gdft of his last sprine, but has been too busy with farm work to gve any time to observation. Since the atten- tion of scientists has bgen called to Mars and the papers have recorded their observations Mr. Maiden has given a little time to the matter with the above fésults: Mr. Maiden 18 auan of more than usual intelligence.
