The Ninth Wani Republican club Is ex

warJ Ii therefore left with only one avowed
cam'.ldalo for plitco on the city ticket In A.
O. Edwarda , the piescnt city treasurer , who
will nsU ffr B rcnomtnatlon.
Spmklng of his withdrawal , Mr. Evans said
jeslcrday c\cnlri ( ; "Yes , I have decided def
initely not to contest for the republican nom
ination for major. My withdrawal , If It
can bo called such , Is due entirely to the
fact that 1 could not pmsuade mvself that I
had anything to pnln by going Into the fight.
AB a matter of fact , I have never announced
iiiyi If nn a candidate , although up to this
time I hn\o put nothing In the way of my
friends , who have been urging me for the
plnco. It was limply i question with me
whether I could afford to lay aside my bual-
neM to ilcvoto the time- necessary to e"itj
affairs. After thinking the matter o\rr and
consulting with my business associates I
arrived at mj present conclusion. "
Another new feature of the campaign Is
the Increasing talk of Attorney E. J. Cornish
an a receptive candidate for mayor. WMlo
Mr. Cornish Jiau not ao far announced his
Intentions , he Is said to bo quietly laying
wire" to secure the vote of the First ward
delegation
What effect these two Incidents will have
upon the campaign of the other candidates
Is not jet determinate , but the results are
j > * expected to manifest themselves la the nett
two or three dajs , during which the actual
Blatc-maktng will take placo.
11110 VTCII'S IIMtltnij NOW OI'HMSD.
Oinaliii'H Mnjor I'rriiiirlnir for n Cnm-
H.ilKii of Vindication.
Since the action of the republican city
central committee relieves the candidates
for the council In each waid from the neces
sity of putting up a delegation , the Indica
tions nro that the primary fight Insofar as
"It relates to the delegates who arc to be
sent to the city convention will binge on
the mayoralty contest. As eveiy successful
delegation will be required by the action of
the central committee to cast Ita vote for
the councllmanlc candidate who Is endorsed
by thu voters of the ward , the councllmanlc
aspirants will direct their efforts toward ob
taining a pluinllty of the votes. If they
succeed In that the complexion of the dele
gation docs not affect their Interests.
, The Seventh and Ninth waids have can-
.dldatcs of their own and an effort will be
.made to elect an uiioleJged delegation In the
Third. In the other wards It looks like a
straight fight between the Moorcs and Droatch
delegations nnd the supporters of the two
candidate ! ] arc already at work Incubating
delegations.
The Hroatch men are spending money
frcly and various Influential workers tave
already been offered large sums to go on
Brontch delegations. A special effort Is being
made to Interest the employes of the corpora
tions In the Broatch boom and a man who
lias a pull with these employes can command
almost any sum ho wants. One man In the
Fifth ward has been offered $25 to work for
Broatch from now until the primaries and
$50 more to go on the Broatch delegation
from that ward. A Sixth ward worker has
been offered anything up to $75 or $100 to
go on a Broatch delegation and use his In-
llucnco In Its Interests. Ono of those men
Is an employe of the water company nnd
another of the gas company. Both of them
are well acquainted with the other cmplojes
of these corporations and It Is on the strength
of this that their servlcei are so highly
thought of by Broatch. Ills heelers aie
spending money liberally In nearly every
ward In tbo city and any man who has any
influence nt all Is In demand.
FAST AND LOOSE WITH imOATCII.
It Is a significant feature of the campaign ,
however. that many of the men who aio' most
actively working for Broatch really do not
deslro his nomination. A number of thorn
have confidentially Imparted the Information
that while tlicy were employed by Broatch
they believed that his nomination would bo
very undesirable , Even J. H. Wlnspoar
BCIUS to bo playing n double game. AVhon
ho Is talking with men whom. lw knows to
bo against Hroatch ho assures them that ho
has nothing at fctnko In this fight , but It Is
well known that ho Is now a close confident
of the major , and , with ono or two others
has general direction of hla campaign. The
employes of the street and sewer departments
nro said to bo energetically manipulated In
tlw Broateh Interest and the old game o
working the city hall emplojes Is being
pushed for nil It Is worth.
Thcro Is but Ilttlo activity manifested
among tht > fuslonlsts. As far as
- can be learned , they have done
absolutely nothing In the way of
preparing for the campaign except to call a
conference for this evening , at which ai
effort will ho mndo to agree on the extent
to which each of the thrco divisions will be
allowed to Insert Its tentacles Into the politi
cal pie. Until this Is accomplished no ono
Deems to krow where ho Is nt. Men are
reluctant to waste their time building up
n candidacy for nn ofllco until they are as
sured tlat that office will bo allotted to that
wing of the fusion party to which they be
longUnions
Unions nil Indications are deceptive that
fusion conference ulll bo worth paving ad
mission to hear. So far the throe elements
havn been unable to agree In the slightest
particular and thp demands of each nro not
Krow Ing more modest as the campaign goes
on. Each takes the position that It holds
tbo balance of power and that If It holds out
long enough the other will have to conio to
terms.

The rcfural of the Cincinnati bond com
pany to accept the last Issue of rc'nevva '
bonds of the city Is a source of some per
plcxlty to the city officials. If the charte
Is amended , ns Is now contemplated , th
dllaculty will bo removed , but If It Is le'ft a ,
It now stands It Is difficult to decide hov
the credit of the city can be maintained.
Under the present charter provision th
bonds cannot bo re-Issued. The bonds tha
the renewal bonds wcio Issued to take u |
are maturing from month to month and ther
are no funds for their redemption. Tor thi
( list three months of the present year th
amounts have been small and they have
been promptly paid by transfers of the bal
ances remaining In special funds
But nearly $ n,000 will be duo April 1 , u
much larger amount the next month , and sc
oa until October , when the amount-will reacl
nearly $100,000. Unless the contemplate'
amendment Is passed It Is stated that th
city will bo absolutely U'nable ' to meet thes
amounts.
The basis upon ivhlch the bond compan ;
rofiibcH to accept the bonds Is nn allege
error In copying the orlglml provision o
the state law relative to the Issuance o
municipal bonds. Section CO of chapter 1
of the law relating to metropolitan dtlc
sajs : "No bonds c\eept renewal bonds
etc. , shall bo Issued to the extent of more
than $200,000 In any one year , nor -withou
the matter shall have been submitted to o
vote of the people and endorsed by at leas
two-thirds of the electors voting. " Tlio at
tornejs for the bond purchasers assert tha
they have discovered ( hat the bill does no
make the exception of renewal bond3 tha
appears In the section quoted above. Thej
take the position that the Issue is therefore
Illegal , as it exceeds $200,000 and was tie
submitted to a vote of the people.

Mr. Delafleld represented ithat Sellgman
Bros , had not yet disposed of all the bonds
and while they had entire faith In the In
tentloa and ability of the city to fulfill Its
obligations It would bo difficult to dispose
of the bonds as long as there was any cloud
on their legality. City Attorney Council expressed
pressed himself ns la favor of any ateps
that might ho suggested bywhich all doub
of the legality of the bonds could bo re

held a Joint meeting this afternoon to hei

In IMS. The delegation consisted o
Edward Rosowater. editor of the Omaha Bee
W. S. 1'oppleton , Dnnlcl Farrell nnd C. W
Lymnn , also ot Omnha : Lucius Wells o
Council Bluffs , In. , and H. N. Hlglnbotham
Chnrles E. Cox and P. D. Hlgbce of Chicago
Mr. Hlganbothnm was the first to nddrcs
the committee. He said :
The gentlemen from Omnlm came to Chi
cngo nnd presented their case to us , am
we fnmlllarlred ourseUca with their wort
nnd with what they propose to do. Wo fee
\cry giatoful to them for the work they
did nt the World's Columbian exposltlon-
somothlng of which you and all Illinois , and
III fact , all the world , know. I know per
haps better than any of you what nmoun
of time and energy nnd money It requlrei
to accomplish that great result. These gen
tlcmen hn\e attempted to produce w ha
may bo called nn echo of that situation.
Omnha Is nn outpost of this country. 1
Is in the. center of n population living wlthl
n radius of COO miles nnd numbering fron
nlno to ten millions. You nil know th
\aluo of the exposition. You will nil ntlml
that it serves n great purpose in the civ
Illratlon of nny country. It brings peopl
together face to face. There you see th- -
products or the soil and of Industry. I

conditions that prevail throughout th
country , knowing thnt thes > c gcntlcmei
have undertnken n great work nt a tlm
of so\ere fltmnclal conditions , and know In-
how grandly they came to our relief , I fel
that it was duo to them nnd due to our
selves as well that Illinois should give then
Ilnanci.il help and encouragement , such a
will gd far toward making the exposition s
success.
Mr. Hlglnbotham , continuing , said that th
state of Nebraska had been largely pcoplei
from Illinois. The people of Nebraska an
among the beat customers of the mnnufac
luring cstnbllshments of this Btnto. H (
thought this nn opportune time to rcclpro
cate. Ho was nwnro of the condition of tin
Illinois stnto trensury at the present time
but snld thnt this would be no embarrass
ment , ns the exposition would not bo held
until 1808 , and the money would not ha\o to
be drawn from the treasury until that jcar
WHAT MR. ROSEWATER SAID.
Mr. Rosewatcr was then Introduced , and
after thanking the committee , said :
The origin of the Transmlsslsslppl and In
let-national Exposition is with nn nssocla
tlon representing the states west of th
Slisslssippi that has been In existence i
number of years nnd Is known ns th
"Transmlsslsslppl Congres-s. " That body
has had meetings ntvarious points at Ucn
\cr. Salt Lake City. San Francisco , Omalu
and , I believe , ut St. Louis. At the meet
Ing held In December , ISDj , resolutions wcr
unanlmousljndoptcd declaring' It the sens
of the TransmlsHlsslppi congress that ai
exposition bo held nt n period in the futur
to give an opportunity for n better under
htandlng by the world at large of the grea
advantages that the country west ot th
Mississippi enjoys In the wny of natura
products and mineral wealth , nnd that the
exposition be held nt Om.iha , Neb. Follow
Ing that notion we Incorporated what i
known as the "TransmlssisHlppi and Inter
natlonnl Exposition. " That incorporatloi
authorized the IFSUO of Jl.000.000 of capita
stock foi the purpose named , and It wen
at oncn , to work nnd had bills pie-sented In
congress looking to the recognition bj' the
government of its proposed enterprise
Congress two years ago pissed an nc
pledging $200,000 to the Transmlsslsslppl Ex
position nnd granting It recognition ; bj- tin
government , with authority to advertise Ii
the name of the government , and provided
also for a government exhibit nt the expo
sltlon. No appropriation was made because
the bill did not pass until two or three
days before the expiration of the session
At the last session of congress the Item wns
Included In the sundry appropriation bill
That bill , not having been signed by thi
president , became void. But the presen
congress has taken up the sundry bill am
It passed the lower house last week , ani
will undoubtedly become a law within the
next ten dajfs. We have therefore received
from congress national recognition. We
have raised a fraction over $500.000 of the
stock , and we undoubtedly would have hai
piompc action on the part of our Nebraskt
leglslatme had It not been for the dlscov-
erj' of n defalcation In the state treasury
amounting to $7)7,000 ) nt the \cry opening
of our present session. The legislature has
however , appropriated $100,000 for the ex
position. It would doubtless have appro
jniated $230,000 but for tbo embarrassment
of the treasury. The states west of us
ha\e all more or less taken an active In
terest nnd have tajjen-action In ono way
or another.
Hoth sides of the Mississippi nro national ,
both sides nre International. This Is n na
tional nnd nn Internntlonal exposition. It
ia not an Omaha enterprise or an Omaha
exposition , no more than the Chicago ex
position was a Chicago lair. That was a
world's fair. We ha\o Invited twentj
states and four1 territories directly to ha\e
repiosculation nt our exposition. Wo expect -
pect to Invite all the othen states , lint we
have looked to Illinois in particular. The
Initial step so far ns money Is concernee
was taken by the state of Iowa.
OBJECT OF THE ENTERPRISE.
At this exposition we want to show' ' espe
cially the development of the great section
of the country west of nnd along the Mis
sissippi , extending from the ! Gulf of Mexico
cUar to the northern boumlarjIt takes
In the cotton , tobacco and sugnr of the
south ; the corn and cattle of the west ; nil
the munufactining Industries of our own
state. It takes In the gold and silver of
thn mountain states ; It takes In the hard
wood timbers of .Arkansas nnd the wonder
ful pines nnd the gient trees of Oregon and
Washington. All these nre going to bo
seen at the Omaha exposition.
You nil remember that .it Chicago the
foreign exhibits overshadowed those of
America , Our western section , though rep
resented , was at n disadvantage because
the mass of the people went to Chicago to
see what Russia and Franco and Gcrmnnj'
and other foreign countrcs had to exhibit ,
and thus their attention wns distracted.
Wo have another object. It Is to jevlvo the
. .estern ticnd of enterprise and Investment ,
Thnt wns ariosted of course when the rail
way construction Mopped In IS'K ) . From the
period of depression which followed wo are
now emerging. Wo look to Illinois to help
us out In this emergency. Nebraska con
tributed JSO.OOO toward the Chicago World's
fair. We have n bill hero asking foi $100-
000. Wo will bo content If you will retuin
to Ncbiaska reciprocal recognition. I feel
sure that after you have given this matter
serious conslileintlon jou will see that It
l.s not simply something- that is thrown out
Into Iho sea , or a sUyiocket , but n perma
nent Investment
Mr. W , S. I'oppleton of Omaha followed
with an address explaining In detail what the
exposition had so far done and what It ex
pected to accomplish. Ho said that the ten
dency of Immigration recently had been
oward the south. Atlanta and Nashville had
had their expositions and people were being
attiactcd to the south It was now time for
the west to Khovv to the world Its limitless
resources. Many of the far western states
were comparatively poor , yet appropriations
were being assured from nearly all of them.
Ho made an appeal to Illinois to do for Ne-
iraska what the latter state bad done for the
World'u fair.
THINKS ILLINOIS WOULD GAIN.
Mr. Luclan Wells of Council Bluffs , la. ,
said that the exposition at Omaha would ben
efit the entire state of Lflnols At least bO
ier cent of the farming Implements and \e- U
ilcles ueed hi the western country , ho de
clared , are the product of Illinois factories ,
This , ho contended , was a strong reason why
Illnols should make a substantial appro
priation for representation at the exposition
The joint meeting was then dissolved , ac-
Ion on the bill being reserved for the sep
arate meetings of the respective committees

Ingenulout'ly tries to reconcllswith the re

Incidentally the audience was given nn op
portunlty to witness a "fly" between Juck
lln'a pets.
In the mounting of the piny nothing slab

Mr. Robson In the leading role presented a
thoroughly onjojable character sketch , ns wa
to be expected of him. His ecccntrlcltlc :
were not overdone , which Is too often the
case , nnd In the more serious lines his worl
bore evidence of the same skill In showini
chnracter ns It Is not the unrenl. The
supporting company was all exceptlonnlly
good , nnd those who did not shine fatted mor
largely from the. fact that opportunity to di
so wns not offered to all. Such as thcl
parts wcte they were well rcndored. Ben
jamln Howard as Alfred Juckllns , the her
of the story , gave n very good Impersonatloi
of a country boy , devoid ot'polloi , but be
ncath whose awkward exterior nvas a hcr.r
full of manly Instincts nmP noble Impulses
Now ton Chlsnell as the typical southen
sheriff , full of bluster and swelled up with
the conceit of his own Importance ) and popu
larlty , struck a popular bhor'tf with thi
audience. Joseph Keefc , f- the ? pompoiti
southern colonel and ; Harry 'GlaSler ' , as Doc
tor Elthrldge , the villain , Without whom n
play is complete , -were both'Acceptable. ' Mra
Samuel Charles , ns Mrs. JJuckllns , gave a
fine portrayal of the mother , vvaa through
out her tioublcs never lest -faith' ' in the rui
prcme ruler to keep watch.nnd 'ward over hei
son and bring him out unscathed. Mies May
Askwlth and Miss Kathryn J ftterman , as the
sister and sweatheart , reepccjtlvelY , of young
Juckltn , are also worthy of commendation.
Both the play Itself and the' rendition o
It were worthy of a better house than was
prcoant at the Crelghton last evening , thougi
those who were present liberally attcstci
their appreciation.
The same play will be the matinee am
evening bill today.
Boyd'e theater -was crowded last nlghi
In honor of the annual visit of Uncle Ton :

Eliza's escape from the easj'-golng blood

accorded "Uncle Tom's Cabin. " Frequen

necessary color to the production. An ex

\vatcr\\orlts question was tliO founda
tion of the trouble. Ths moetltiB had been
called to pass tlio ordinance providing for
the submission to the people of n pmpo'l-
tlon to Issue $50,000 In Intersection bonds
In order that the bond iiitMtlon nilgln be

Conncll circulated among Hie couticllmen
trying to Imluco tlatn to also pasa ( be 01-
dlnancc providing for tlio proposition to
\oto $3,600,000 In bonds for the purchase
of thu uatororks plant.
As soon as the inciting was called to
order Wheeler moved to adjourn.
O'Malley demanded a call of the house , but
the chair ruled that no other motion vvaa
In order until the motion to adjourn had
bson decided.
On roll call the motion to adjourn wan
carried.
Then the trouble begun.
O'Malley accused President UliiKlinm o [ beIng -
Ing unfair In his ruling and Dlngham v.as
trjlng to reason with the Indignant icprc-
6ontatl\o of the Third vaid wlicu Stuht
jumped Into the ring.
IRC OP A P1HST WUlDBfl.
Stuht was mad and ho didn't care vho
knew It. Hu danced a war dauco around
Wheeler nnd declared that It was all a mon
strous fraud and the people would liavo
their say pretty hoon. lie made home per-
renal observations and AVheeler calmly took
out a stack of papers , and Itnlted the Irate
member to listen while ho read him a fo\\
chapters from his own iccord. Stuht's lago
almost choked his utterance , but ho got
out something about a man who had paid
$100 to get an alley closed up.
"You are a liar , " said " \Vhecier.
"You are. a - , " replied Stuht , using
an epithet which means light In any com
pany.
"I didn't steal $700 from the republican
city central committee , anyway , " said
Wheeler , nnd then O'Malley broke In again
to olscne that various members of the
council had been bought up by the water
company.
ny this time the air was blue and Stuht
made at Wheeler as though ho had serious
Intentions. Wheeler took a good hold of
the small end of his cano and prepaid ! to
defend himself. Then Mount and some of
the other councllmcn who had been quietly
taking In the show Interfered. Stuht was
led out of one door , while Wheeler departed
through the other.
After the belligerent elements had been
disposed of sonic of tbo councllmen decided
that next Tuesday night might bo too late
to paea the Intersection bond onllnance ,
and a call for another special meeting was
hastily concocted. The council then met foi
the second time and the ordinance waa read
for the third time and passed.
TO REMEDY TUB BOND DEFECT.
J. M. Woolworth then appeared before the
council and submitted the facts relative
to the alleged Illegality of the renewal bonds
Issued by the city as they came out at the
meeting held In the major's ofllce yesterday
afternoon. The following resolution wan
then submitted by the attornejs as provid
ing a cure for the difficulty. It was passed
without extended discussion and the city

In which the contract wns railroaded through

There Is one thing which pcema to worry
solus of the members who were M anxious for
McDonald to ha\o the contract , nnd that I
wlier the money to pay for the work Is com
Ing from. Major Rnsor announced to the
council one night not long ago that ho know
where ho could borrow the money nccerGary
to pay for the repairs. The communication
was not made In writing , however , and n-s jet
the council has no olllclal knowledge of such
an arrangement. Supposing upon the major's
return he should object to the contract being
awarded to McDonald after he had vetoed the
original resolution so awarding ? the contract ,
and should rcfi'te to proceed In th- > matter
until the council considered the bids of
thoi'o whoso pi Ice WES lower. In that case

Word has been received hero that a spe

be In the city shortly to Investigate the re

This Is good news to those Interested and has

hero. As Is well known Dr. Don C. Ayer ,
the head of the bureau , was the prime mover
In the dismissals which followed the election
last fall. Now Don C. Is considerably wor
ried because he Is to be called upon to sub
stantiate some of the utntemonts he made
nt that time and since. But that Is not all
that worries the doctor. It Is common talk
In government circles hero that the doctor's
dajs on the government pay roll are num
bered. Rumor has It that his successor has
already been selected and will bo here be
fore many days to take charge of the ofllce.
In fact the mnn who la to take Aycr's plnce

ilful to the
that slumber
in its bosom. " Of
the multitudes that
j early join the mul
titudes already
one. one-seventh arc the victims of that
§ read destroyer consumption. There is
certainly a lesson in this for every man and
woman who will stop anil hctd the warning
of death. At the firet approach of the Krim
monster consumption the threatened vic-
tii'i should take refuge in the use of tha
only known cure : for that disease.
Many doctors say tint consumption ia
incurable. They are mistaken and thou
sands who have been rescued from tha
brink of death , after they were given up by
the ( loctois , and all hope was gone , have
testified to the fact over their written signa
tures. Dr. Pierce's ' Golden Medical Discov
ery cures 98 per cent , of all cases of con
sumption. It cures bronchitis , asthma ,
weak lungs , spitting of blood , throat troubles -
les , chronic nasal catarrh , and all diseases
of the air passages , Itacts directly , through
the blood , on the affected membranes aud
tissues , destroying all disease germs , allay
ing inflammation and building healthy tis
sues. It makes the appetite keen and the
digestion perfect. It is the great blood-
maker and flesh-builder. All dealers in
medicine sell it.
"I have been In the practice of medicine for40
vcars , and have retired from practice , " writes
ir. A. A. Graham , of Redding , Shasta C < T , Cnl.
"I believe that Dr. K. V. I'ierce's medicines nre
among the most reliable remedies that nre manu
factured in the United States I have recom
mended his medicines for yiars , nud kuow of
great benefit derived from their use. "
Constipation eventually kills by breeding
fatal maladies. Don't neglect it. Doctor
I'ierce's Pleasant Pellets are a sure , speedy ,
safe aud permanent cure for constipation.
One little Pellet " is a gentle laxative , and
two a mild cathartic. They never gripe.
An honest dealer will not urcc a substitute
for a little extra nrofit.
