Palms , geraniums nnd other potted plants broke the white monotony.

Gaflln , Colon. Judge William Neville of North PIntto acted as toastmastcr. It was ! ) 45 when ho pushed his chair back from the table and summoned the guests to cease their merri ment nnd llaten to him and three whom ho was about to Introduce. He spoke of the declarations of the populist pitty and gave the administration a dig when he spoke of the violation of that declaration In the at tempt to enslave an eastern people. He said the republicans will learn that they cannot invite all nationalities to make this country their homo and then attempt to form an alliance with the greatest enemy of their native land. President J. B. Jones was the first speaker. Ills subject -was the "Peter Cooper Club " He was not BO well posted on his subject tint ho could speak without manuscript. Ho re lated the history of the club since Its or ganization elx months ago. Referring to the personnel of the club he said there vvcie no bankers among its members at present , but ho oxppcted to see some ex-fbankers enrolled soon. Ho gave some of the causes for the organisation of the club , the mrst prom inent being the defeat of the populist party's legislative ticket and the consequent retire ment of Senator Allen. Po > liter Spenli * . Governor William A. Poynter was given the pleasing task of speaking upon his charge , "Nebraska. " He referred to the beauties -with which nature had endowed It , spoke of its prolific soil , the products which spring forth therefrom and the position it occupies among the other states of the union from an Intellectual and agricultural stand point. The heroism dlsplaj'cd by the Ne braska volunteers was touched feelingly , the speaker pledging the honor of the state "that to the living shall bo accorded worthy dis tinction and to the dead all that can bo given the dead a fitting memorial of their fame. To Nebraskans Memorial day will hereafter possess a now interest and as the hands of Innocence strew flowers upon the giaves of the heroes of ' 01 the young heroes of No- biaska will not bo forgotten. " He paid tribute to the statesmen the state had produced , giving precedence to Senator William V. Allen , who , ho said , had "mado populism respectable oven in the eyes of Its bitterest opponents. " W. J Bryan was 10- forrcd to as "tho evangel of the now democracy" Ho spoke of the adoption of the populist platform In this city In 1392 as the second declaration of Independence. Ho pointed to the vote of Nebraska for the Chicago cage platform four years later because ho claimed the principles of the first declaration of faith by the populist party were embodied in It. Then looking forward he attempted to cast the party's horoscope : "What of the future ? Shall these great divisions of the armies of reform turn their ibacktt upon the common fee and direct their warfare against each other and allow Ne braska to again fall Into the hands of the party that line despoiled her and tarnished her credit and fair name ? Upon what shall wo divide ? Is the doctrine of 1C to 1 any less true now than It was in 1890' Is the principles of monetary reform less vital now than then ? Do we disagree upon the neces sity for the control ot corporations , trusts und monopolies' ' What ono of the great principles wo have been advocating slnto 1S92 are wo now ready to 'abandon , or tire nvo asked to abandon' Not one ! My friends , if wa allow narrow-minded flicker- Ings and strife to divide the friends of re form along the lines of the great principles for which Nebraska has stood firm since ' 00 and her example help to disintegrate the grand army which Id now gathering for the great conflict of 1900 , we will , to say the least of It , countenance that which would be little less than o political crime , If not a KIDNEY AND BLADDER TROUBLES PROMPTLYCURED A Hiiiiiplw Mottle Sent Tree by Hull.

AVrmrr Ilonril Prom , In Introducing nn cx-prf lrtenllal candidate next Toaetmnster Neville referred to him as n distinguished citizen ot America nnd the greatest llvln ? champion of the rights of American laborers. General Jamca B. Weaver was accorded a subject on which ho is perhaps bolter posted than any other man In the county , "Tho Llfo of Peter Cooper" Llko those who had pre ceded him General Weaver read from manu script. He said ho had been honored by au acquaintance with Peter Cooper during tha litter dajs of his life A brief account of the life of his subject was given. Ho spoke of some of the writings of Cooper upon economic subjects nnd said that ho hid rn- tabllwhed the rcnals'uinco of American learn ing. ing.Ho Ho said Peter Cooper'n political ideas were very simple nnd consisted of three funda mental principles , which ho strove to have honestly applied In national life. 'Tlrst. The Independence of the nation must bo secured from foreign Interference , dictation or influence , cither financial or political "Second. In domestic administration the doctrlno of equal rights should prevail at all ha/ards , else the preservation of life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness nero Impos sible. "Third. That the power to issue and con trol the volume of currency Is nn all 1m- poitant sovereign function and must bo exercised by the general government only , without thn Intervention of banks of Issue " General AVcaver said the experiences of nn active manhood prepared Peter Cooper for the great service ho was to render the pee ple. His reference to President Jackson's administration furnished tlio speaker an op- porttinlt > to revive the money question , which ho proceeded to do at some length. In closing ho referred to the war in the Phil ippines. Ho said no doctrine or precept of Christianity could Justify iho war. Ho said It could hnvo been avtcrted. Ho denounced the 'treatment of Agonclllo when he came to this country ns their envoy. Ho said Jef- fcieon Davis wrote that the Declaration of Independoneo did not apply to the black man. The flag was torn from tholr hands and the black man was freed. Today , he said , the administration Is trjlngto teach the same doctrine In reference to the brown man. In other words , ho bald , "the administration and Jefferson Davl.s stand on the same platform in this regard. " At the cloEo of General Weaver's toast. W. J. Br > an mndo his diamattc entry ac companied by the hosannas of the guests. Uolfoitih'M TuIK. "Tho Judiciary" was toasted by ex-Gov ernor Silas A. Holcomb. The governor was received with a cordiality that manifested the popularity of his administration while ho was tire chief executive. After compli menting the club upon Its success ho icferrcd humorously to the assignment of this , sub ject to him. Ho belectcd several gentlemen whom ho thought might have been chosen Instead of him Ho said ho could tell more of the experiences an executive baa than ho could relate about the courts. It seemed to him that the chief executive and the legls- latuio aie alwajb presumed to be wrong by the courts. Ho maintained that this should not bo ho but 'liat the executive , legislative and judicial brunches should move together in the dlsclinige of their duties. He would put all on an equality because they are crea tures of the law nnd are governed by the law. Governor Holcomb said ho doubted whether the Judiciary should ever have au thority over the chief executive If the latter goes wrong , he said , the people will regu- latu him at the end of two years He said the public expects Its judiciary to err less often thin the other blanches of the govern ment because ordinal lly they have received special training. He urged that thp popu list party had taken an advanced step in charging thai , corruption existed in high places In 1SD2. He took this as a reference to the supiemo courts and held that the people ple have a right to criticise the acts of their Judiciary. In 1S9C , ho said , the plank was more emphatic because of the action of the supreme court in granting an injunction against labor organizations. llrjan on Deck. W J. Bryan responded to the toast , "Our Nation. " HP said ho had been called a populist so often by the gold democrats that ho had begun to think himself so Having been iejected by the mlddlo-of-the-road - - - pop ulists and gold domoe-rals he was In a pe culiar position. Of ono thins he was sure , however , and that was that he was rejected by all republicans He said success lay In I united action nnd It was the division In the ranks of icfouiieis that delajed their prog ress. It was nccebsaiy for parties to agree on things held In common and defer action on otheis until some future time. Ho re ferred to the history of the fusion lights In Ncbiaska and said the state held a foremost position in co-operative campaigns Co-op- oratlon by the different parties was espe cially emphasized bj Mr Ilrjan. Ho be lieved it necessarj for these forces to unite In the national election and wage a cam paign tint would end In majority rule in stead of a government by the minority He made a compaiison of the three platforms and pointed out how successfully a minority has succeeded In keeping the forces divided. Mr. Ilrjan refencd to homo of the good things the populist part > had done , the moat impoitnnt 'being ' to as-slit In pointing out the ovlls of a gold standard Ho did not mean to siy that populists hid oilglnated the op position , because democrats had voted for bimetallism prior to the birth of the pop ulist party Ilo spoke of Iho money ques tion , leferrlng caustlcall ) to the changes in statements which ho claimed hid been made by the republican party since the last cam paign. Mr Bryan said If the republican party had not borrowed n monetary policy from Ung- liiml In 1S9R it would not have found It necessary to bornnv n colonial policy now. Ho leti'iml to the republican convention of 1S50 , when the foundcis of the party wanted to earrv the party back to the principles of Washington nnd Jefferson. Tour years later he said Lincoln was nominated upon a plat form which repeated the Declaration of In dependence , and jot today the republicans are declaring it a worn-out doctrlno At this point the lights went out and the hall was left In darkness. Crlcw of "Go on" Go on ! " were heard "No , ray frlenda , " said Mr. Bryan , "we are trjlng to bring light to the world. It is the republicans who want the light to go out " ( iliiMH AVorKrrn ( ! et nil P1TTSBUHG May 20 An Increase In wages for 7,500 men was the result of the annual prescription sonic conference between the American Hint Glass Workers' associa tion nnd the Association of Flint nnd Lima Glass manufacturers , which adjourned in PlUsburs today Of this number 1,600 skilled workmen will receive an Increase of 10 per rent and 6,000 unskilled hands an advance in proportion The advance will rebtore to the men the wages they received in 1892 and 1S93. rontVriMii'f < if IlehriMi riiurltlt'H , CINCINNATI.

Judge Dickinson yesterday took up the case In which Anna O'llern and John U Dolnti ask the court for a temporary Injunction ro- fitralnlng the defendants from molesting the premises occupied by Mrs. O Hern as n sn- loon on the southwest corner ot Tenth and Mason streets. Walter Brandos , William KruR Constable N V. Halter , Attorney A. B. Walkup nnd D T. Loomls nre the de fendants. The papers in the case are vol uminous , statements by both defenie and prosecution ibelng corroborated bj lengthy affidavits , that of Mr. Walkup being espe cially long , ns ho covers the history of the case since its inception The suit was recently instituted , but the origin may bo traced back several jears In 1S94 I' O'Horn nnd John II. Dolan leased the promises at Tenth and Mason streets from the Union Pacific Railroad company for a period of five jcars at nn annual rental of JGOO. With the assistance of a firm of brew ers a $2,200 building was erected nnd a si- loon was conducted therein by O'Horn. After O'Hern's death a few jcara later Mrs. 0 Hern conducted the affairs of Ihn estate and kept up the lease , pajlng the money In quarterly installments. On November 7 , 1S9S , the prop erty was sold by the Union Pacific to the defendants , Brandes nnd Krug. Pending the settlement of the matter Mrs O'Horn retained the lent for the last quarter of ISIS , but avers she was ready to pay it when her rights were guaranteed. Desirous of obtain ing possession of the promises occupied by Mrs. O'Horn , they notified her that they had purchased the property and demanded that she move therefrom , accompanying the de mand with a format notice. When Mm O'Hern paid no attention to the notice they instituted suit against her for the rent In justice court She deposited the $150 due , but they declined to accept it. Later judgment was obtained by default Then they raised her rent to $300 per month , which she could not pay. Still later they obtained a writ of ouutor. The notice to va cate was served on April 6 , It la claimed by the defense. It Is this notice , however , which appears to have caused the trouble. The defense , by affidavits and otherwise , di rectly avers that numerous attempts wcio made to serve a forjnal notice upon Mr s. O'Hern without success Finally , on April 6 , they claim , Mr. Walkup , accompanied by Constable Halter , proceeded to Mrs O'Hern's home. Not finding her there Constable Halter pushed the notice under the side door eo It could not be drawn out. On April 8 , about five minutes before midnight , all the defendants went to the saloon , and after ejecting the bartender and taking forcible P03sc6slon of the promises , removed all the furniture and transferable property to , i storage house. Mrs. O'llern says she never received the notice which it Is claimed was left under her door. She intimates further that this may have been withdrawn after It was de posited there. After the forcible ejection of the plaintiff she obtained possession of the piemlses on a temporory order restraining the defendants from Interfering with her in the occupation of them This order was held valid Satur day afternoon bj Judge Dickinson until the suit to quash the wilt of ouster is disposed of in its regular order.

CIIHO iti Which He Gels Judgment IN bcltlcd Without Ills KnnvilrilKC. Attorney E. W. Slmeral has brought n suit In his own behalf which will prove of considerable Interest to the legal profession.

In a mandamus case from Sarpy county Saturday one of the attorneys had the audacity to clto to Judge Scott some Ne braska authorities.

ENJUY COMING TO OMAHA Iiiillaiin 1'ii-fer the City to the flulet of the HrNcrMi- tli.ii. . If ithere Is ono thing more than another that an Indian enjoys It Is coming to Omaha , providing Undo Sam stands the expenses of the trip. For jcars the Indiana of the Omaha and Wlnnebago reservations in Thurston county have been coming down here during the sessions of United States court. They come as prisoners and wit nesses and .1 good many of them manage to get heio icgularly twice each year. There are people who contend that the In dians commit minor offenses in order that they may bo arrested and brought to the city , but the. government olllclals deny that this Is the case The desire dhat Indians have to attend court Is well Illustrated by an Incident that occurred on the Omaha reservation the other day. James Allan of the United States mar shal's olllce has charge of the Indian mat ters and having been to the reservation so miny times Is well acquilnted up there. The other day ho had a capias for the arrest of Little Black Dog , an Omaha charged with doing n llttlo bootlegging business , Allan visited the Dog cabin nnd asked for the In dian ot the house Mrs. Dog appeared at the door and In broken English Infoimed the olilcial that her husband died the day before His body was in the house and waste to be burled the following rooming. Allan expressed his sorrow , saying that he Intended to bring Mr. Dog to Omaha and show him a good time. Mrs. Dog bright ened up and Informed the officer that she knew bomcthlng about the offense , as she had been ono of the parties to the belling of the liquor and would bo ready to take her husband's place before the court if the official could wait until the next day. If he could not wait , the would bury the body of Mr. Dog that evening and bo ready to leave on the evening train. It was with difficulty that Deputy Allan convinced the woman that the indictment against her husband did not cover her of fun se and that tilio could not bo taken into custody ? < i > Complaint AKIIIIN | | Iliipn anil Hill. No complaint has been filed against Joe Epps and Dnvo Hill , who had some of the cigars and cigarettes obtained In South Omaha by Sirs W N.

It was turned over to them The groceries were recovered in the rojins of the couple nt Thiitcenth and Howard streets.

INAUGURATION OF MONDAY INITIATIONS 11 n Nil of ApIiIK'iuitH Who WiMli to Join the HniiKs nnil lli-uoine VcriSlMl ill thO > I > HllTlrN of the Great Unlor. Next Monday evening the season of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben will be olflclally and formally Inaugurated by the initiation of the Ilrst batch of novitiates into the mysteries. Announcement to this effect has been made In the following ptonunclamonto that has been iasucd to the knights by King Samson : Sir Knight Once again the round ot pleasure for every Monday evening is about to bo inuugmatcd The Initiation of Ak-Par-Ben Is looked forwaid to hundreds of our members , and each Monday evening after May 15 , you are earnestly requested to join our ranks. Laughter , says a classic writer , Is u most perfect medicine It takes a man out of hlnibelf and so gives nature a chance Tor- Kct is n great administrative and recupera tive genius Ho who foigets wins half the battle , whether It be the forgetting of nn Injury or the dismissal of a trouble Time , the sovereign healer of all our wounds of heart and boul , Is but an ally of our brain , and in this combination wo have , perhaps , the greatest bolutlon of the secret of life But In laughter , almost inexplicable ns it is , there exists a great healer. It Is a foro- iminer , ono might almost call It , of forgot- fulnpss. It shakes up the creature , It fos- teis hope , without which our being Is almost n blank. Laughter is the truest of medi cines. Get It where you can. Do not bo afraid to laugh Our faithful workers furnish the means for laughter. Yours for Omaha. SAMSON. Some thiity sacrifices will' ' bo offered up at the Initiatory ceremony. Just who they are to bo Is yet unknown , as thcie Is n big rush for the front seats. No less than sixty of the applicants for admission to the court have petitioned for Initiation on Mon day night and some of them must bo dis appointed. The executive commltteo has de cided that just half that number Is sufficient to test the machinery. There nro many who have pains in the back nnd Imagine that thrlr l.idno > s nro affected , while the only trouble Is a rheuma tism of the muscles , or , nt worst , lumbago , that can bo cuied by a few applications of Chamberlain's Pain Balm or by dampening n piece of flannel with Pain Balm it ml binding It on over the affected paits.
