A goodly number of the republicans of the
Second ward met atlCaspar's hall last night.
As soon as Chairman O'Donovan called the
meeting to order , George M. O'Brien ' was In
troduced. Ho made one of his usual enthu
siastic speeches , urging the republicans to
stand by the ticket. Ho thought that , by
standing solid , the democrats will bo hope
lessly snowed under on the-1th day of next
November.
Chris Specht followed with a speech that
was full of good things. Ho believed that by
standing solid the republicans can elect every
man upon the ticket ,
J. H. Koyner was called upon fora speech.
He said that It was the tint time ho had ever
met the citizens of the Second ward. Ho
inndo a telling speech , pledging himself to
work against prohibition in every form. Ho
was sure that the republicans will carry
every ward in the city.
1) . T. Mount in speaking referred to his
IIK residence in the city. Ho urpcd upon
the club the importance of standing together.
\V. S. Strawn said : There are only two
wocks icmaiuing before election , and I believe -
lievo the best plan is to get out and do some
personal work. Appeal to men personally ,
and when the votes are counted you will see
that this wins. I once lived in a great state
lown-but 1 sco that it has aceeneratecl ,
nnd I fancy it Is because the people have at
tempted to nictate what the people shall eat
und drink. I liavo traveled from Maine to
California , nnd I must say that the Siocum
law in force in Nebraska is the best liquor
law I know of. "
The speaker then referred to the two can
didates for congress , Mr. Connell and Mr.
Bryan. He urged the voters to vote for Con
nell , mtding. "that whllo Mr. Bryan might
bo able to make u line speech , it U not best
to mistake noise for sense. Accept Mr.
Bryan's free trade doctrines und in u short
time the work shops will bo closed aud wages
will Ixs as low as in pampered liurope.1
The club decided to attend the rally at the
Coliseum tomorrow night nnd then voted to
have n ward rally at Iviupar's hall nent Sat

To the Citizens of Omaha nnd to Whom it
may Concern For the year last past , at the
urgent solicitation of the editor and nropric-
.or of the Omaha Leader , I have stood as its
Business manager , collecting its income nnd
saying its expenses of issue , regardless of the
Matter being moro than the former. I have
done this solely out of sympathy with the
principle ho sought to maintain. I have had
nothing to do with its editorial columns or
reading matter. 1 therefore Knew notnlng of
tils purpose or Idea of attacking "our census , "
in which I , as well us all Omahiicltlzcns have
felt a just pride. Upon my return f rom Chicago
cage Saturday morning I shared in the gen
eral surprise.
I positively disclaim any connection or
sympathy with suld attack , and deny the
right to thus attack without n retaking of the
census. I consider this sensational mutter
totally irrelevant to the prohibition question.
Feeling , as I do , that said editor and pro
prietor's zeal has overridden his judgment ,
I cannot longer maintain mv connection with
a oaper seemingly in bad hands ; hence I
shall in no way , shape or manner bo con
nected with or contribute a dollar of funds
toward said Omaha Leader , and that I totally
witndraw my patronage and sustenance from
said paper. W. T. SEAMAN.

THE BOTON STOKE.
Its Proprietor Claim * to no Unjustly
Imitated hy "The Bontoii" Store.
The proprietor of the Boston Store ap
plied for an injunction in the district court
ngalnst Charles Stonchlll , restraining him
from imitating tbo nnuio , signs , tabs ,
price marks and sidewalk displays of
the plaintiff. The plaintiff sots forth in his
petition thnt the defendant painted his store
the same color as that of tbo plaintiff and had
imitated the lattcr's slcns , prlco marks , side
walk displays , etc. , with the purpose ot de
ceiving the public and conveying the idea
Lhat the stores were one and the same.
The plaintiff asserts that , at considerable
expense , he has advertised and established
The Boston Store , and that Its name is now
co-extensive with the limits of the state. Ho
claims further that , for the purpose of
deceiving the public and receiving custom
for which the Boston Store has paid , the de
fendant has given to his plao the title of
The Bontoii Store.
The plaiutill also asserts that his cards
upon the goods displayed in front of the Bos
ton Store are labeled with that name , and
that the defendant , in the same style of let
ter , has labled his cards with ' 'Tho Benton
Store , " the Intent Ixiing to convince pur
chasers that the display made Is the same lor
which the Boston Store paid to advertise.
The plaintiff also claims thnt where he
purchases a stock of goods greatly below
market prices nnd so advertises the fact ,
guaranteeing creat bargains , the defendant
makes a similar announcement on his cards ,
when in fact , it is alleged , that the said an
nouncement is calculated only to ticccive , nnu
to impress the public that the goods he dis
plays are the goods which The Boston Store
advertised. _

A progressive farmer and dalrvtnan is
nlwnys grading up his herd , says the
WeAorn Stockman and Cultivator. If
ho lias not actually resorted to the scales
to test the yield of Ins own cows lie lias
a pretty fair notion of which are tlio
cows thnt pay. Ono must bo a very euro-
loss man not to know a peed cow from a
bad ono after milking horn part of a sea
son. The shortage of grain this season
will emphasize what wo have often said
In these columns about weeding out the
unorofltablo cows. No farming pays but
good farming. This is true in every
branch of work , and most emphatically
true of dairy fanning. It costs no moro
to keep n good cow than a bad ono ; it
costs no more to make jood butter than
it does to make bad butter , and the dif
ference between thoprolitof running tlio
farm dairy on the principle of good cows
nnd good butter and indifference in both
these things is world-wide.

comfort necessary to keep them well tiid
growing. Being more thickly covered
than liens , they nro more susceptible to
* lieheiton ; warm days. Sunstroke often
causes many to dto quickly after a stroll
through a hot sun. As ducks sell well
in the markets , it should bo the aim of
the fanner to hatch ns intiny early
broods ns possible , getting them into
market by the middle of April and May.
Wo think by next season duck culture
will bo very extensively pursued by
many who have entirely devoted their
attention to poultry , without being
aware of the prolit and ease with which
ducks are kept. A duck will thrive
with only a small trough to splash in ,
yet If u. pond or stream bo convenient it
is always of bcnotlt to them. 11 is nat
ural for a duck to tnko to water. The
fooiLpf a duck is about the same as that
of n chicken , and the euro you give them
in their early life will build a frame that
will bo vigorous and lasting.

Cooking Kooil fur Stock.
In providing a variety of food for anl
mals , a thing quite essential in getting
the best results in feeding , some t > ort of
cooked food is of the highest value , says
the Western Stockman and Cultivator.
Wo used to swing on a polo between two
dogwood forksand by dint of hard swear
ing and the use of unlimited quantities
of'fuel ' , cook our potatoes , turnips ,
crushed corn or rye mush for hogs and
milch cows , was the best method the
time afforded , and wo found the cooking
process paid oven under such disadvan
tages. Hut modern invention hasmada
cooking food for stock both easy and
economical. A small steaming appar
atus with a steam pipe leading to a bar
rel , tank or box , enables tlio stock tnan to
thoroughly cook any quantity of feed of
ony kind at a slight expense. A steam
feed cooker ought to ho on every stock
farm since they are now compuritivoly
inexpensive.
