Temple of 1/ibor hall was ( lllcd yesterday
afternoon by the members of t'lelc1 workers'
union. President C. Matson was the first
rpeaker who addressed the meeting nnd
bihriy outlined the history ot the former or
ganization of the came character of which
'no had heen the chief oniCT.V. . N. Pascoe
stated that the birth of the present union
was brought about by the same causes that
nmilo nectHsary the organizing of the first
union. The lct > companies of the city had
persisted In fighting among themselves and
cutting pilccs until the workmen who per
formed the labor found It Impossible to live
at the v.ac"s broug'at about by the needless
war. He was In favor cf establishing n
sttong organlza'Ion ' which would Include every
man of the probable 1,000 v.'lio would work on
the Ice this year. Mr. 1'atcoe proposed to or-
ganlzo small s < puds of men who belonged to
tha new union fur the put pose of visiting
gingx as soo.i as plac ° d to woik on the fi ° lds
and Induce them to sign articles for the pur
pose of maintaining the schedule cf wages
flx d b > the union.
J. P Kelsey addressed the members In n
< ioit sp-ccli , In which he advocated that the
n"W organization bo placed upon a solid
foundation nnd not be a. temporary affair , as
the former ono v.as , and that nil men when
'hey Joined tno union should stick to their
rights and demand wagLS that would admit
jt supporting tholi families
V II Kl-ffner of Central Labor union an
nounced that when the ice workers' union hid
settled upon the scale of wages to \ > s < charged
this jcar an aibltratton committee from his
union was willing to conPr wltli a committee
of the Ice workers and a slst thcm by call
ing upon thu ice llims of thu city for the
pmposo of di.iwlng up contiacts between the
laborers and Losses. A committee of three
was cltctul upon this suggestion to meet the
committee cf the Cential Labor union next
Wednesday morning nt Temple of Labor hall
and confer with them upon the scale cf wages
which would be demanded , ajid also In regal d
to His signing of contracts bstween the men

On nnd Immediately following January '
the army ot the uncmplojed In Omaha wli
bo reinforced by the retirement of the pres
ent city administration In deference to the
claims cf their recently elected successors.
Just how numerous a contingent this will
bo Is still a matter o. speculation. There
are about fifty peroons , Including departmcn
cleric ? , who arc liable to he affected bj
the change. One of the heads of depart
ments haH bean re-el'cted , other officials wll
graduate Into ether offices , some of the ap
irlntefl otricery arc slated for reappolnlmeti
and a greater or lew number of the mlno
emplovcs expect to be retained. So , out o
the whole number nffectol. It Is not likely
th.it more than half xxlll bo compelled to
look for ether menus of support.
Of tho"o who expect tj retire tlio majorltj
are already In business * , nnd will blmply pa >
I'M attention to politics nnd more to thel
pilvato concertm Ot the leinulndcr , ono o
two haxe prepared to take up some line o
business , and othcrn have not jet decldei
en their plans.1. Mayor IJomls announces thn
h- will open a leal estate office and devote
his time to looking after his property. He
ly the owner of a number of vnluablo chunks
oC leal estate In various parts ot the city
which he confidently expects will bo wort !
hla nil ntlon as tlmey Improve.
Clly Clerk Hlgby will simply shake hands
with hliii = elf by way of courtesy ID his sue
ce ser nnd go ahead with the duties ot hit
olllco as though nothing had happened. He
IITI made no announcement of his plans will
legard to his sMbordluatey , but It Is not ex
pected that any mateilal changj will be
made.
In , the legal department Assistant City At-
toiney Cornish expects to tMnendcr his salarj
and trouble/a to a successor. Ho will ai
once -pen an office and engage in tin genera
practice of law. Ho has undo no arrange
ments for a partnership , and intends to buih
up an Independent practice.
City Attorney Council Is resting easily In
the txpcctatlon of a leappolntment. His
selection Is taken to Inulcato tint Spccla
Agent John Duller , who 1ms had charge of
the eviiienc ? In all the city cases for jearr
will also be retained.
Comptroller Olsen has cccupled his present
poa.tlon f r four jeais , nnd prevloua to en
tering ofilce his lelMiro was njfllclently oc
cupied In looking after his real estate and
property Interests. lie says that his prop
erty , llko thai of olhcr people. Is not worth
looking after much n-\v , and he will establlsl
himself In some sort of but'.ncss within a
very short tlmo after ho turns over his office
t his succcsscr. Ho has several plans In
view , but has mad ? no choice.
Deput ) Comptroller WeHberfr will slmplj
change sides on the big desk In the comp-
trolIcr'Ei office when Mr. Olsea steps out , am
plug along In much the simo way , after
er.a ng the "deputy" from bin -Illclal till .
Dr. Saxillo Is scarcelj expected to be con
tinued In Ms present capacity as commissioner
of heilth. Ho sajs ho will cngag ? In the
practice ef medlclns- soon an he receives
official notification that his successor has
been appointed.
Ilulldlng inspector Deverell is one of those
who Is not certain exactly where he Is at It
Is the general impression thai there will bo a
new' man In his shotn In the course of lime ,
end In that case he will probably return to
his former occupation of contractor.
License Inspector Hurst is slated for roap-
polnlment If promises are gocd for anyt'ning
and Is not looking after a new Job.
A. D. White , the piesent Inspector of
weights and measures , v 111 probably be suc-
tec.lcd by George rranklln , the editor of a
local colored p-oplo's crgan. Mr. White left
tha position of head waller nt one of the
larg > hotels to accept a political position and
will icturn la hlb old business. lie will not
lemaln In Omaha , however , but expects to go
to Cripple Creek , whtd-e. . ho has been offered
a position
V. D. Millar , who has bern Mayor Demls'
private secretary for four years , will prob
ably return to the nexvspaper business.
James Gilbert expects to b ? rcappolnted as
gas Inspec'or.
Plumbing Inspector Duncan still has iiop s
of ousting John Lemly fiom his council-
manic shoes , but If thai falls lie still has
his trade as a plumber to fall bark on. His
deputy , Mr. LIchtcnberger , Is one of the lead
ing candidates for the. s > uec sslon to the head
of the department , and Is one of those who
are pinning their faith to Uroatt'n's promises
The eight retiring councllmen nro pietty
well provided fcr and are losing no sleep
over thc.tr respective futures. Two , Unrkley
nnd Lemly , were re-elected. Edwards be
comes city treasurer nnd the remainder are
all engaged In business Indopsmlontly of their
official positions. Hack is the local agent of
ono or two Insurance companies and also th'
proprietor of some gravel beds In which nc
gold mines have yet been discovered. Itechel
Is the local auditor of the Pacific Express
company and that Is good enough for him.
C&'iin will quit politics and attend strictly
to his Farimm street business. Ilowell will
go on duty regularly at his coal office , bui
has made no pledges about going out of
politics. Holmes Is a contractor and brick
layer and Jacobs ° n will continue to write-
llfo Insurance as the next best thins to being
county commissioner.

James Wilson. mori > ffcmlllarly known ns
"Tug" Wilson , dleJ Testtrday morning nt 6
o'clock nt the c untj hospital. Death was
caused by poftenlng of the brain. Whllo It
wns not entirely unetpett'd by the friends
of Wilson , who were ttimlllar with his con-
d.tion , jet It came with n shock oven to
them , for It was hopM that ho might Im
prove with proper care Ho was unconscious
to the end , nnd passed' way peacefully and
with apparent palnlwnons
"Tug" Wilson wis well knoxv n In the
city , and especially In the circles cf news
paper men. He cnmo to Omaha twenty years
ngo from England , nnd remaln'd In the city
continuously. Ho wns an expert stenog
rapher , nnd as such he was connected fcr a
number of years with The Hee , dolnff at the
mine time some reportorlal work. Ho later
vv-nt with Llnlnser & Motcalf , nnd was with
them for a mnnuar of years. Ho then re-
turtrd to The Hee , nnd remained with the
paper , with the exception of some Intervals ,
until txvj jears ago. During the pa t two
y nrs he found the struggle for existence a
hard one.
Ho wav a man of much Intellectual ability.
Ho received a fair educatlrn , and during his
early days was employed on London papero
His ability wns shown by the fact that ho
vns assigned to reperl sp cches In I'nrlln.-
ment. H later fell heir to a snail sum of
money , nnd spent thin In traveling on the
contlnc'nt , especially through France. Ho
then came to this country anil to Omaha , al-
wnvs cherishing , however , a deep love for his
mother country. Ho wns nbout 40 years cf
age. So far as knoxv n , he has no rclallves
In Ihls country.
Ho was regarded with considerable liking
by hla friends , especially the nexvsp.apar men ,
to all of whom he wan very well known. He
wns looked tip-n ns a character with more
or less fccenti Icily hut ono with a goo I
heart and abundant good xxlll and god na
ture. This regard during lito year'i xxas
slrongly tinged with pity and regret , for it
was remaiked that he was fast becoming a
ruin from drink , the vice of n lifetime. His
eccentricity became mania. It b c.ame ovl-
d = nt that If he was not cared for his candle
would soon ho burned.
His frlcndi determined t : > save him If pos >
Ible. Oxer a week ago he xxas la'ten ' In cus
tody fcr Insanity and 5nt lo Hie county Jail
His casw was brought before thn Insanity
commission , nnd It WID dctcrmln d to send
him to the asylum. Dili tin compulsory ns-
flstance came tco Inlo The confinement

of speech He refused to eat. His eyes xxerc
vacant and slarlng , with but a t-park cf In
telligence In them. He failed to recognize
his friends. The phva'clans said Ills mlml
was Irrevocably gone. Ho was removed to
the county hospital , prepaiatory to blng
taken to the asxluni , but within two days
the end mercifully came.

SOUTH OMAHANEWS
There Is POIIIC talk of circulating n sub
ccrlptlon list nm ng the business men In
the city for funds to place Twenty-fourth
street , south of Wyman , In n passable con
dltlrn , so that teams will bo able to get
In from the country In bad weather. It la
thought by some that the only way to ar
ccmpllsh this Is through the plan proposed
It Is hoped the county commissioners will
some tlmo appropriate nirney for the per
mnnent Improvement of the road At pres
ent the county commissioners have no money
available for the wcrk contemplated , nnd
will not have until spring. Clly officials d : >
not think It fair to mnko the whole city pay
the cost of the Improvements needed , and
about the only way out of the dllemmn. It
Is thought , Is the contribution by the mei-
chanls who nro benefited by the Sarpy county
trndo of $500 or Jfiio for the work , which
noads to Lc done nt once This Idea will no
doubt bo dlscuspcJ at the next meeting of
Hie Hoard of Trni'e.
Tuesday several members ot Iho Hoard of
Trade will go out to Papllllon to have a
talk with the Sarpy county commissioners"
The general feeling s-cnui to be that the
Sarpy countv farmers want the Twenty-fourth
etreit-rcad In preference to Hie Thirteenth
street route. T propel ly p.ive and grad Ho
road frcm Q slrcet to the line would cost
about Jlti.OOO Hoxxovpr , If n few hundred
dollars were npent this winter while tin
commissioners of both counties ar ? coming
to terms , It Is thought that the mcichanlB
would gft Ihelr money hack In Sarpy county
trado.
