There -was a fair attendance at Crelghton
hall last night at a meeting held under the
auspices of the Union Veteran Republican
club. Lee Eatello .presided . and on calling
the meeting to order he said the predictions
made by the republicans In 1896 had all
come true. So much so Is this the case ,
lie said , that the people were having too
Rood a tlmo nowadays to attend the meet
ings of any political party. Ho placed gre > at
reliance upon the old soldier of the rebellion
to make the winning fight for the republican
ticket , but warned them that nothing would
be gained by electing that good old comrade.
Judge Hayward , for governor. If they also
assisted In sending a fuslonlst to congress
or to the senate. For this reason he was
willing this year to vote for anyone for
the legislature If ho was on the republican
ticket , even If his face was black as ebony
nnd bin record as dark as midnight.
"Thoro Is Just one thing for which I am
grateful to the populists. " said the speaker.
"It was formerly the case , when 1 went Into
the election "booth " , that 1 had to take n
Mcket and hunt out the republicans. But
the jopullsts changed the law and now I
can go Into the booth and with one cross can
vote the entire republican ticket , which I
expect to do. "
W. I. Klcrstead followed Mr. Estello ami
nald ho had been ever mindful of the welfare
of the old soldier since ho had been com
missioner nnd would continue to do so If
re-elected. He thought there had never
been u time In the history of the state when
there was more demand for the republicans
to vote a straight ticket than this year.
Klerstead made a personal explanation In
regard to a political story circulated against
him. The story was that ho had criticised
the management of the sheriff's office. He
denied the story and said ho could make * no
comment on Sheriff McDonald except that ho
had been ono of the best officials the county
ever had and the management was all that
eould bo desired.
Uitvi ; Slcrcer'n IlocJrliie.
Congressman Mercer received his custo
mary reception when ho was presented. "You
remember , " he said , addressing the old sol-
dlers , "that when you returned from our
great civil strife , you were met by state
ments that the war had been a. failure.
Lately this country has been making more
history and almost from the beginning of the
strife there has been a class of citizens ami
newspapers which has lost no opportunity to
find fault with everything done by the ad
ministration. They forget all the glorious
accomplishments of the war with Spain to
throw mud tit the national government. The
whole world Is bowing down to this country
nnd ho Is a poor patriot who will try to take
away what other nations are willing to ac
cord to us.
"Omaha Is the center of a largo circum
ference of prosperity. Our streets nre
throbbing tonight with people brought hero
liy the greatest exposition over held , and
when that entorprlso pays nil of Its enor
mous expenses and has $300,000 of surplus
in Its treasury It Is pretty good evidence to
me that prosperity Is here , tbo yellow jour
nals to tbo contrary notwithstanding.
"Tho complaint today Is that men are too
tired , after their day's work , to corao out to
political meetings. They wore not troubled
with that tired feeling two years ago. Then
you all remember how the corners ot oui-
etreota wcro crowded with oratory talking
free silver , but today these men bavo ceased
working their tongues and are now working
their hands nnd brains.
"Wo are yet In the midst of great com
plications. Lot. us hold up tbo hands of
President MoKinloy by giving him a re
publican congress and senate , nnd when
thoeo things are settled then lot us return
to the bitterness of partisan warfare. "

During the course of his speech .Mr. Mer

speaker of the house of representatives am !
the other from thu chairman ot the house

a direct local application :

Omaha Indian warehouse. In the lattci

Six boys , ranging In ago from 12 to 1C
years , living In the north part of the city ,
built themselves a den on Grant street In
the rear of the Coliseum and used for the
purpose about 1,000 feet of lumber stolen
from the Lake Street school , where new
sidewalks are being built. The leader of the
gang Is Joha Dusenberg , who Is an ex-
reform school youth , and the others are col
ored boys named General Washington ,
John Wood , Doc Perkins , John Nehan and
( John Blomberg. Their den was equipped
with a gasoline steve and lamps and had a
library of cheap novels.
Friday night the lights went out on them
while they were studying the exploits ot
their patron saints , the highwaymen , and
the leader selected Doc Perkins to go and
steal some oil. Perkins obeyed the Injunc
tion and the stock of Isaac Catlln at 2223
North Twentieth street was drawn upon for
the purpose. Catlln discovered the loss and
sent his con Isaac to hunt for the thief.
The boy tracked the young bandit to the den

receiving the greatest number of first
premiums of any packer exhibiting at the
Transmlsslssippl Exposition. In their gen
eral display and In the competition of packIng -
Ing house products the Cudahy company has
again demonstrated the superiority of HE
products.
The most notable award Is the gold medal
of the exposition for excellence In general
display. The thousands of visitors who saw
the attractive exhibit In the Manufactures
building never had any doubt but that It
would receive the first Pi'ze ' , and the decision
of the Judges merely t ; - | rraed the popular
opinion. ' '
The first premium gold medal was awarded
Cudahy's Diamond C soap , which Is re
nowned throughout the United States and
has found Its way In large quantities to the
Orient. Gold medals were also awarded to
Cudahy's canned meats , and Cudahy's hams
are equally well and favorably known. Sliver
medals were awarded to Cudahy's Rex Ex
tract of Beef nnd to all small meats , which
includes principally their famous sausages
and products of that nature. Mr. Edward A.
Cudahy certainly has cause to feel flattered
at the large percentage of prizes awarded to
his exhibit. The result again demonstrates
that the products of this factory lead the
world.
