THE OMA1L , HOW THE CAME WAS WORKED Witnesics in County Attorney Case Tell How Ftuion Was Accomplished ! WINTER DETAILS GENERAL FUSION SCHEME Ihoirit ( lint Shlclilnn * \nt ( he Itrnl Cnndldntc of Hither the I'opnlIM or Sliver Hciiiibllcnii Or- Kntilcntlnnn > Very Httlc testimony remains to bo taken In the Winter-Shields' contest , and It tha 4next few days were not so thickly crowdcl irllh holidays the end would soon bo reaehtd , Mr. Winter Is now Introducing teittmony to ehow the manner In which Shields secured his place on the tickets of the popullat and silver republican organiza tions and to establish the fact that he was not the real candidate of either of them. Mr. Winter himself wan the first wltnces. and he briefly detailed the general scheme of fuilon and testified that he was the legitimate nominee of the republican party. E. F. Morcarlty , secretary of the county central committee of the popullBls , was then called to testify In regard to the manner in which Shlcldo' name got on the populist ticket. Ho said that after the convention had assembled and ornanlzcd word was bronght that the democrats proposed to con cede two places on the legislative ticket to the populists and one place to the silver republicans. There was a vigorous protest ( ( on the part of the populists against accept ing this Jug-handled proposition , but a vote to Indorse It finally carried by a small mar gin , and two men wcro nominated for the places that had been offered. Then the committee returned with a Hat of the men who had been nominated by the democrats nnd these were by rmolutlon declared the nominees of the convention , Ono of thcso was George W. Shields. In reply to a direct question the witness stated that Shields' name wan not mentioned In the convention aside from the consideration of the report trom the democratic convention. On cross-examination Mr. Shields at tempted to prove by Morcarlty that the popu lists wcro "dead anxious" to nominate Shields anyway , but the court ruled that testimony In regard to the alleged senti ment of the convention was Incompetent. Dr. J. J. Savlllc was then called to give nlmllar testimony In regard to the manner In which Shields was nominated by the sil ver republicans. In his own behalf County Attorney Shields testified to the fact that bo was duly nominated by the three conventions and W. H. Qunsolas , messenger In tlio county attorney's office , testified that ho was a delegate to the democratic convention and that he was familiar with the proceedings. ' Ho said that Shields was nominated unnnl- W mously , and that no demand was sent to the populists or silver republicans to put Shields on their tickets. In this testimony Shields attempted to show that the fusion agreement extended only to the nominations on the legislative ticket. The nominations for the other offices were not subjects of compro mise , as nothing passed between the three conventions except what referred to the division of legislative places. Sue * llniiininnil I'ncUlnir Coniimiiy. John Johnson has filed a suit for $15,000 damages against the Hammond Packing company on account of an accident that oc curred at the South Omaha plant early In June. Johnson says that It was hla duty to strip the skin from the beeves after they had been swung on the gambrels. On this occasion the company had a 14-year-old boy to make the Incisions under the tendons and Insert the gambrels and he asserts that the work was carelessly done. As the plaintiff started to strip the skin from a bullock one of the gambrels pulled out and the beef fell on him and forced his knlfo through his right arm above the elbow. The brachlal artery and the medial nerve were' ' severed , IV causing a permanent Injury. Two StrliiKH to HIM nmv. James McCarthy , an Iron molder at the Union Pacific shops , took out two accident policies early In 1808 and was lucky enough to straightaway step through a hole In the sidewalk on Clark street and break his loft arm In two places.

The bill pro vides that within sixty days of the date upon which the law goes Into effect the State Hoard of Examiners of Embalmers , consisting of the superintendent of public instruction , the secretary of state and the governor , shall appoint three secretaries , who shall be practical cmbalmers. Every embnlmer In the state who has not been In business for at least a year shall appear be fore the board and pass an examination as to his fitness to practice his profession. Those who have been In business a year , however , need only make affidavit to that effect to secure a license. It Is the latter provision of the law to which the most objection Is offered. H Is claimed that there are many cmbalmers In business who are really Incompetent and that In exempting them from examination the law In largo part defeats Its main pur pose. The embalmcrs , or n representative portion of the profession , were and still are In favor of the passage of a law of more stringent provisions , requiring the examina tion of even those who have been In busi ness a long time. It Is claimed that In other states the health laws have such require ments. The passage of the bill In this state and of similar bills In other elates , It Is said , was primarily Instigated by the National Association of Baggagemen for the protec tion of the members on whkli such laws operate. President Traynor of that organ ization has said that he would not rccognlro the new Nebraska law as an adequate pro tection of baggagemen against Infection from corpses In transit , and that the certificate of the state board would not be recognized as giving the holder a right to ship embalmed bodies. His reason for such refusal Is said to be the provision In the bill allowing the board to Issue certificates to embalmcrs who Imvo been In business a year without first examining them. The railroad officials will therefore bo expectd to take the same pre cautions against the shipment of bodies Im properly embalmed as they have hereto fore done. The law In Iowa , which the embalmers - balmers wished to have duplicated by the legislature of this state , provides for the examination of every cmbalmer , regardless of the length of time he has been practicing. Baggagemen , therefore , recognize the certifi cate Issued In Iowa as an adequate protection of their welfare. Some Omaha cmbalmcrs are of the opin ion that the law will not affect undertakers who do not wish to ship bodies from ona point to another , and that probably a few will do some embalming without taking out a certificate. It Is believed also that the board will be strongly urged to Usua two forms of certificate , ono stating that the holder has simply been In business for a certain length of time and Is therefore per mitted to practice , and the other that the holder has passed a satisfactory examina tion and has proved himself to bo thoroughly Informed as to embalming methods and the handling of corpses of persons dead of In fectious diseases. As Is apparent the latter form of certificate would be the more val uable one and would be In demand among all nbo are able to secure It. The board will have to appoint Its secre taries within sixty days. Two Omaha men ore prominently mentioned for places Pat rick Ileafey and H. B. Davis. It will of course bo out of the question for two Omaha men to secure appointments. PRICES FOR SUGAR BEETS ThoMC 1'revalllitK In the DHTcrent CuuntrlcM of Europe Compared.

REFORMATION CAME A LITTLE TOO LATE llecoincn n tlooil Htmunml nnil n ltepectc l Cltlxcn , Only to Meet 111 * Pnte In nn Old Indictment. After living ; for four years In happy un consciousness that the hand of the law hung over him , Julius A. Sinks , a clerk In the freight department at the Union Pacific headquarters , was dragged from his desk by a deputy sheriff yesterndy afternoon and locked In the county Jail to answer an In dictment for embezzlement found by the grand Jury at Aberdeen , S , D. , In 1696. The arrest was made by the therlff's office on the authority of a telegram from Chicago , nnd an officer Is now on bit way from South Dakota with requisition papers to take the prisoner back for trial. The case Is peculiar for the reason that Sinks had not the slightest idea that ho was n fugitive from Justice. He has lived In Omaha since ho left Aberdeen , He mar led happily and Is regarded by bis friends as a worthy citizen. But when bo bad al most ceased to remember his trouble In South Dakota It came before him In the guise of a warrant , and a deputy tbcrlff rudely banished his happiness. The alleged crime for which Sinks Is ar rested Is the theft of $125 In money and a quantity of silverware alleged to have been worth about $300 more. In December , 1895 , an optician In Aberdeen sold his stock to a Chicago company by whom'tt was auctioned off. Sinks' brother was then traveling for the Chicago firm , and after the auction ho Introduced his brother and asked the optician to take him In bis office as a student. This arrangement was finally con sented to , and Julius remained tbero until February , when he Is alleged to have de parted with the contents of the cash drawer and the silverware , An Indictment was re turned by the grand Jury , but no trace of the supposed offender was discovered. Ho came to Omaha and secured employ ment with Swift & Co. Later he became one of the partners in the Western Audit com pany In the Paxton block , and then wont to work for the railroad company , where he WRI employed at the time ofhis arrest. About the same time he was married and lived , with his wife , at 2209 Farnam street. The warrant for his arrest was secured In Justice Cockrell's court soon after the ad- vloa from Chicago was received. Deputy Sheriff Stryker called at the Union Pacific headquarters In quest of his prisoner. Sinks was called out quietly and none of the other employes knew that ho was under ar rest. When ho was told that he was wanted be nearly collapsed. He declined to talk much about the trouble further than to say that It was a family matter , and he had believed that It bad all been satisfactorily arranged by his brother yean ago. Ho said that the value of the stuff was leis than $200 , but did not explain how ho came to appropriate It. He was taken to the county Jail , from which some of his friends are trying to secure bis release on bond. i SOUTH OMAHA NEWS , t I A A 00 * * a a. < 8 > - * * I The city council got together lost night for the first time slnco June 5.

Bids for repairing Twenty-fourth street and for the laying of permanent sidewalks were returned to the city clerk unopened.

The clerk will reodverUse for both street repairs and permanent side walks In an effort to Induce more contractors to file 'bids. On the Twenty-fourth street paving bids for repairing by the yard and also by the year will be asked for. Washouts In all parts of the city were re ported.

WANTS MEDAL FOR DEMPSEY Chief White Thinks the Officer Should DC Rcvrnnlcil ( or Iilfo Saving3 , . , , An effort Is being made to raise a suffi cient sum of money to enable Chief White to purchase a life-saving medal for Detective Mike Dempsey in recognition of his arrest of Charles Augustus Johnson as he was about to Jump from the Douglas street bridge. It seems that Dempsey was given a quiet tip that a. man was to jump from the bridge at a certain hour and as the depth of the river at that point is unknown It was feared he would iba drowned. Dempsey went to the bridge and awaited the arrival of the man. When Johnson appeared and started to throw off his coat for the leap Dempeey tore In his direction as If he were playing center rush on the Nebraska foot ball team. He grabbed Johnson by the collar and Jerked him off the ratling so quickly that his teeth chattered. Not content -with saving his life , he took the offender to the station and locked him up. Johnson gave bond at the station and was released. Yesterday when be appeared Judge Gordon discharged him upon the rec ommendation of Sergeant Wleenburg. Kirk : In Ileleac < l.

CHIEF WHITE DEALS HAND TO HIMSELF Summon * Proprietor * nml Compel * Them to Cut Their Hunts to u Scnil-llen i > nnl > le Figure Women Co Hungry. For the first time the landlords of the houses In the restricted district have been compelled to lower their exorbitant rents. The high prices charged for bouses with what llttlo there Is In them have been cut almost In two through the Intervention ot Chief White , who believes that thla ono thing alone Is responsible ) for more of the larceny from the person cases than any other. The women of this district know that It they are not prompt In their payments ot the rents duo the avaricious landlords they will not be allowed a day of grace. As a result they resort to any means to procure the money with which to keep a roof over their heads. Tbo attention of Chief White was called to this state ot affairs by notices from the landlords to their tenants that they In tended to Increase their rents on July 1 be cause the exposition would bring so many people to the city that It was to be ex pected they would bo able to pay better rentals. Thursday afternoon one proprietress and four of her women were arrested on suspicion of having robbed a visitor of $65. The woman Incidentally told the officers she had to pay $125 a month for the house she occupied. She had tried to Induce the land lord to make improvements , but ho had re fused , and she was compelled to expend her own money In order to make the neces sary repairs to bis building. This statement aroused suspicion , and Chief White , accom panied by Captain Donahue , went "down he line" to investigate. They found that women were paying from $1.60 to $5 a day for houses , the former price being for a pair of small rooms knonn as cribs. Thcso had received notice that their rents would be increased on July 1 to $5 per day , while the $5 houses were to be raised to $6. Many of the women along the street stated that they did not have a second gown to wear. They had been compelled to sacri fice all their clothes to keep up rent pay ments. This state of affairs convinced the chief that something ought to be done , especially after a consultation with Mayor Moores yesterday , who Informed him that ho would be sustained in any action bo might take. The first man summoned was the owner of seven of the largest buildings In the district , who was charging the tenants of five buildings $35 a week and had given notices of a raise to $10. The other two were paying him $125 per month. When Chief White told him what he expected the landlord entered a vigorous protest against having his Income Interfered with. The chief , however , read him the riot act In a way that made his hair stand , and when he left the office the chief bad secured an agreement signed by him to lower the rents of the five larger houses to $100 per month. The two smaller will pay $60 per month each. ( During the day half a dozen landlords were called In , and all agreed that they would bow to the decree. All the small houses on East Ninth street will pay $1 a day. This rent In itself Is exorbitant , the majority of the cribs consisting of two rooms , The same price will be maintained on Captlol avenue with the exception of the three Trilby's , which will pay $3 a day each.

LABOR UNION PROGRESSING I'ropoiirn to I'ronoetitc the Kurly g Movement Until It n SncccHxful. The Central Labor union held a special mooting last night to consider means of enforcing the limited hour law , which goes lute effect today. The committee- reported that In addition to live , signatures affixed to the agreement at last Wednesday night's meeting , W. II , Bennett & Co. had agreed to sign as soon as they could be released from a verbal agreement with a firm , one of the members of which was at present out of the city. The Nebraska Clothing com pany had refused to sign the agreement to close at 6 o'clock , claiming that such action would cause them too great a loss ot busi ness. In view of the fact that two largo dry goods houses and ono large clothing house Intended to keep open this evening , It was decided to haw the committee which has the matter In hand keep close watch of those stores and ascertain whether any of tha female employes w ro required to work over ten hours. Several thousand cards , bear ing a request that the public do not trade wttli the firms keeping open Saturday , were ordered printed.
