AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Politicians nnd Wire Pullers Anxious nml Working Hard. THERE IS NOT A DEARTH OF CANDIDATES They Are NnmerniM nnd AtnroMlvc Hnr- inuny In the Itcpulillcnn Cnmp How the Uomocrnta unit Indrpendont Are ( letting Along Xowsy Item * . The coming xvcolt will bo ono of politics , nnd that will completely overshadow every thing else. Candidates in nit partlos are as numerous as Missouri paw-paws at Ibis tliuo of iho yonr , and eautl has n following moro or less ruspeclnblo In number ) . L'ho curb- stonoi uro lined with uitndldatos and wiro- pullers , and whenever you BOO u whisp'orod ' consultation in progress between two or moro mala cltlzons put It down that n wire is being worked for all that U Is worth aud J j n clover political schema Is being hatched , either to bo ruthlessly shoved astda by amore moro husky ono or to bo successfully worked out. out.In In the republican camp the utmost good fooling prevails , aud the rivalry between the candidates is of a friendly nnturo , and the defeated ones will readily acqulosco in the decision of the majority. Two candidates for commissioner from tbo Second district reMdo hero , and are carrying 'on nil nctlvo canvass. C. U. Stanley Is ono of the gentle man , and ho has been in tlio race for many a month. Stanley was n candldato tor post- tm.stor at the time the present in cumbent was namoj , and the bit ter tight of that time still lingers fresh lu tno minds of a tow , who openly avow bo shall never roach the goal of bis ambition. But if ho captures the nomination thcso few will fall In line and support him for election. II. E. Hoclo is the other aspir ant , and has buon in the Hold loss than two weeks. Hoglo Is a successful merchant , and tboyoungar members of the party are bis most ardent supporters. It was right here that the Young Man's Republican club cumo to tbo front with a schumo to prevent any bad blood from arising , and to go into tha county convention with a solid delegation for either Mr. Stanley or Mr. HOKO. ! The club put up u delegation of fourteen mon who had not expressed themselves upon their profcr- once lor commissioner , appointed a commit ted to watt on the two candidates and secured - cured their hearty co-operation in the elec tion of the delegation. At the caucus Friday night that delegation was elected almost unanimously. Before tbo county convention in held the delegation will got together and agrco upon which of the two gentlemen is the most available for the nomination und will support him in tbo county convention. The only other aspirants In the republican ranks are for legislative honors. Bruce Mc- Culloch has been frequently mentioned as a candidate for state senator , but bo savs no. His modest declination , however , may co for naught , as his friends are determined to sea htm u senator , and may succeed. When tbo commissioner dispute Is settled it Is probable that the defeated candldato will bo proffered the solid support of the delegation for state senator if ho will accept. In tbo list of legislative aspirants A. L. Sutton seems to bo away In tbo lead for rep resentative , and although there is talk of others uono have coma forward. Suttou was formerly a Justice of the peace and was elected by tbo largest majority ever given a man for a cltj ofllco in democratic South I I Omaha. Ho is a young attorney with a good ' . practice. Captain J. E. Hart of tbo government - I ment meat innoeotlon department has ulso ! i been mentioned for rcpiesentatlvc , but ho ' says he la not a candidate , although bis friends say ho is ia their bands. Nathan Gordon , who gave democracy the go-by a your or so ago and became a republican , is a late candidate. That completes the list of republican aspirants. Democracy's Fuotlonnl KlglitH. The democratic party Is in the midst of ' several bitter faztio'na1 lights , and the broach is so broatl it will never bo closoa , or ot least not this year. There are four distinct factions in actlvo existence today , and a bitter contest will take place at the pri maries Tuesday. Four candidates for the nomination for commissioner from this dis trict are carrying on an actlvo nnd aggrpssivo canvass , and oacb one considers himself n thrco-timo winner. Ex-Muyor . O. Slouuo Is not unlike Barlds , nnd ho is being pushed by Ed Johnston , Eli Doud nnd a majority of too Jeffersoiilan club. J. H. Bulla , who Is now a member of tbo city council ana Board of Education and wants evcy office in sight , is in the light and would like to relieve Major Paddock. Ho is also a member of tbo Jeffersonian club and finds his supporters in C. M. Hunt , Peter Cockrell nnd u fuw moro of the faithful. Jack Walters has bad a taste of public oftlco by serving two years In tbo council and bo finds It very pnlntnblc. Jnclc is n member of tbo Jacksonmn club of Omaha , and ho will bavo a good following in both cities. Jumos Bronnan , who does not live In South Omaha , has lib friends and the sup port of nn evening paper bore. Ho may cap ture the delegation and leave the South Omaha candidates in tbo rear. The logishitlvV } honors may go a-bogglng , although that is an unheard of thing in tun democratic rams. Tbero are co avowed candidates for the nomination. E. T. Farns- wortb , wbo was formerlv Joe Edgorton's Iniv partner , is mentioned by a low in con nection with the house. Ho is the only ono whoso name has occii coupled with the for lorn bop ? . An evening paper Is making a frantic ef fort to secure the congressional nomination for Jacob Juskalok. Jucno resides in Omalm , and Is the proprietor of a cigar factory in this city. Ho wouldn't malto any aspccml of- tort to got out of the way of political I lull t- ninir should itstrlko bis way , and continues to roll cigars apparently unmindful of tbo grentnnss some people nro socking to thrust upon him. Ho may have the support of tbo South Omaha dalega'lon. In tlio Cnmp of tlio I'lijinlUts. Tno people's party camp presents the most picturesque spectacle of nil. It Is n hobby with the udberonts : of wildcat schemes that no man shall seek an olllcc , but that tbo ofllco shall coma around and offer itself to tbo patriot. Jt is really surprising to see the number of individuals who are chasing around and doing their utmost to got In the way of o particular oftlco , hoping it will pro pose in order to be rid of thorn. Tlioro are not to exceed tlnrty-tlireo peoplo's parly men in the city , unu every ono of them is oithor. holding a position or making u her culean cffurt to land n political llsh. The South Omaha peoplo's party followers are not ut all modest , and if it wasn't for the scarcity of them would bavo a candidate for cacti tolllco in Douglas county. Ifiitthoy will bo satisfied if Samuel P. Bngham is nominated for congress. Mr. Brigbnm started in Ufa a grconbackor , mis kept step ever slnco with those of that failb , nnd would rather talk today of tbo doctrines of the peoples' party than sit down to a feast lit for a king. When It comes to state senator Undo Sam Hynunrson is riakt at homo , and ho is not only in the hands of his friends , but , his own hands are working hundreds of wires iargo and strong enough for u hangman's rope. For thu house of representatives Goorgn \V. Kaworth und C. O. Curtis , two typical Indonondcnts , are in the mad scramble and would like very much to test thcucountlcs in the stHto house at Lincoln , E. H. Roberts is Interested In the county coimnlsslonorslilp light and if tbo prospect * look bright enough will utiy bis castor into the political ring. There are but two cltv ofllcoE to be Qllocl bv nil election and tbey ro vacant boonuao of resignations. When Wilov Heckatt wns appointed chief of pollco ho resigned us con- atabloand A. A. Donnelly was appointed. The snino ts true of when Henry DIUon was elected rlty clerk nnd H. U.'Knvon was ap pointed to' succeed him as assessor. The candidates for these two positions nro very scnrco. Lymnn Carpenter , n republican , will probably bo named for nssoisor by ins party. For constable , 1 . A. Barrett , nn In- dooondont.

Why is Pears' Soap the best in the world , the soap Nc _ with no free alkali in it sold for 15 cents a cake ? It was made for a hospital soap in the first place , made by request ; the doctors wanted a soap that would wash as sharp as any and do no harm to the skin. That means a soap all soap , with no free alkali in it , nothing but soap ; there is nothing mysterious in it. Cost depends on quantity ; quantity conies of quality. All sorts of stores sell it , especially druggists ; all sorts of people use it , espe cially those that know what's what.
