' AS TO MILLER AND POWER
Democratic Primary Fight is Apparently
Between These Two Candidates.
GALLAGHER GROOMED FOR A DARK HORSE
Vrrxrl nttil Ilrondnrll the Only Cnn-
dlilntffl for IllNlrlct Court Clerk
Who Openly I'nrtlclimtc In
the I'rliimrlL'x.
This Is the day the patriotic democrats
who want to servo their country by attach
ing themselves to the county payroll nrc
scheduled to get out nnd hustle. On the face
of the situation , as Indicated by the delega
tions put up In the various wards , the fight
la mainly on sheriff nnd lies between John
Toner and Harry Miller. Pat Mostyn fig
ures In the deal to some extent , but only In
a minority of the wards. Con Gallagher's
asplratloni arc not openly connected with
nny of the tickets , but It Is understood
that both Miller nnd Mostyn are stalking
horses for Gallagher who will make way
for him ot the proper time. That , at least ,
la the machine program.
The result of the primaries Is expected to
either eottlo the contest for this odlco or
make the nltuatlon even more chaotic than
It la now. If Power controls a majority
of the delegates his nomination Is regarded
on a certainty. If Miller wins out it IB
doubted whether ho will bo able to control
his following for more than one ballot. It
Is Intimated that there are n good many
men on Miller's delegations who are put
there for Gallagher. H Is the Held against
1'owcr , nnd there will bo no hesitation In
throwing Miller and Mostyn over the dump
and centralizing on the gang's man.
In view of the active competition for the
offlco of clerk of the court. It Is somewhat
remarkable that the candidates are so meagerly -
orly represented on the delegations. Brood-
well nas the South Omaha delegation and
John Drexel has tied up with Mostyn to
elect delegations In the Fourth nnd Ninth
wards , but , asldo from this , the candidates
nro apparently keeping1 their hands off.
They roallzo that the primaries occur two
days before the convention and evidently
expect to bo able to form their combinations
otter tlio result of the primaries has clarl-
Qcd the atmosphere.
Thcro Is no opj > oEltlon to the Power del
egation In the First ward , and In the Second
end Power and Elsassor have united to
qleet a ticket that will also go through
Without opposition. The Third ward Is un
pledged and each candidate deludes hlm-
eolf with , the Idea that ho will got its vote
when he wants It. In the Fourth ward there
la a hot fight In sight. Hero the Power
delegation Is opposed by a ticket alleged
to roprcseat the united Influence of Miller ,
Mostyn and Drexel , but which Gallagher ex
pects to control. In the Fifth ward1 Miller
nnd Power have united against Mostyn
nnd in the Sixth It is Power against Mos
tyn nnd 0. R. Forbes , the candidate for
county commissioner. In the Seventh Mil
ler and Power have agreed on a compro
mise delegation said to include six Miller
men and five o Power's friends. In the
Eighth Mostyn and Miller have combined
against Power , nnd in the Ninth Power
is opposed by Mostyn and Drexel.
AH this makes about as tangled a politi
cal crazy quilt as has been spread before
the voters la a good many campaigns. The
promiscuous manner in which the candi
dates have tied up with each other in this
ward nnd the other Is something unprecedented
cedonted In local politics and it is likely to
result In a confusion of ambitions when
they all get Into the convention. From the
outsldo titi looks as though -some ot the
jnoro long-headed politicians among the
candidates had dono-their level best to muddle -
dlo the situation In the expectation that
the disorder -will glvo the smoothest wire
pullers the advantage.
When the convcntlona moots , however , the
oleotlon ot candidates must bo preceded by
a Uttlo scrap that may knock all previously
conceived plans In the head. It must firs
bo decided whether A. J. Williams is to
get off the populist ticket In the Third com
mlsalonor district , and no one knows where
thlo will end. In any case , the controversy
Is certain to leave some very extensive
bruises on the fusion anatomy and it Is
admitted that it may oven go to the extent
tent ot at least partially divorcing the two
principal fusion parties.
When Williams was nominated by the
populists , his credential were signed by th
secretary of the convention , but when they
were presented to J. O. Yelser , ho promptl ;
refused to attach his signature. Ho de
clared that the convention was not over ye
and that ho would sign no certificate untl
it had been finally adjourned.
At this tlmo Yelser was boosting Scott's
campaign and ho proposed to hold bad
the certificate ns n club to compel the
populists to endorse Scott. Now Yelsor has
formally announced that ho has washed hi
hands of Scott's candidacy , but the ad
ministration Influence Is still sufficient to
Induce him to withhold the certificate.
Ever since his nomination Williams ha
been besieged by nH the pressure that th
democrats could bring to bear to force him
off the track in Hofeldt's favor. Ho was
offered a written agreement that ho would
bo appointed superintendent of the county

hftt he w anted , but ho declared that bo had
soon democratic premises before and that
they were way below par with him.
KalllnR to Induce Williams to get out
of the way ot his own nccord , the demo-
cratn have flnco put iu their tlmo trying to
eo manipulate the populist delegates as to
rccuro a majority In favor of rescinding the
nomination. They have put up a scheme
: o snitch the South Omaha delegation nnd
tiave also prepared to put In delegations
from country precincts that are not repre
sented , and In which no primaries or cau
cuses have been held , to create a ma-
lorlty In favor of their plan. That this
scheme wlH bo resisted to the end by Wil
liams' friends goes without saying , and they
declare that If Williams 1s counted out by
such imc.'tnB there will bo trouble. On the
other hand , Hotcldl's friends threaten to
ralso several Idmls of brimstone unless
HotclJt Is nominated and the democrats
find themselves threatened xslth n bolt of
no Inconsiderable proportions whichever
way they turn.
That the pathway of an Independent
ludlclal candidate Is almighty tough road
to travel Is again exemplified. After being
lilrned down with n bump by two conven
tions ho has lost his campaign manager.
John 0. 'Yelser has been oniclallng In that
tlianklesa capacity with moro energy than
succoEfl , but ho now declares that ho has
? lven It up ns a bad Job. "I have worked
hard for him , " ho said to a friend yesterday ,
' 'because ho decided t\vo cases in my favor
and I thought ho was entitled to my sup
port. Hut I consider my debt canceled
and I don't propose .to . try to lug him nny
further. Ho in not n populist , but a nort
of all things to all men sort of a politician
and It has como to the point where I must
drop him. I can't afford to go plugging
around the country carrying a political
corpse. "
Any Individual who wants the fusion
nomination for county surveyor can have
It for the asking. Ho need not necessarily
bo a democrat , or a populist , or even a
silver republican , but someone must bo se
cured to flll what promises to bo a yawnIng -
Ing vacancy on the ticket. Two years ago
the fuslonlsts were In the same quandary
nnd they got out of It by nominating Emll
YoungfcUH , who had been a republican up
to that tlmo , but who was willing to execute -
cute 01 change of base In return for the
prospect of a Job. Youngfeldt's Investment
turned out EO badly that no one Is anxious
to Imltato his example , and the fuslonlsts
are considering the feasibility of Import-
lug a candidate from Missouri or Texas.
Thcro Is very llttlo more hankering after
the county superlntcndency of schools than
there la after Oeorgo McDrldo's Job. W. W.
Elliott , n populist , who is superintendent
of the schools at Elkhorn , Is conceded tbo
nomination , but he lint * positively declined
to have anything to do with It. The pop
ulist convention wanted to nominate him
when It nominated Curtis and Williams ,
but ho emphatically declined to accept.
The democrats are still digging up Ger
man candldatcB for county treasurer. Otto
Bauman is most frequently mentioned Just
at present , but. It Is contended that he Is
too young to run well for such an office.
Louis Weymuller is also mentioned and
some of the leaders want 'to ' nominate Vaclav
Kund ot the Second ward with a view
to luring the Bohemian voto. Still others
talk of giving the offlco to C. O. Lobeck
of the silver republicans , but Lobeck says
that slnco the democrats will not glvo him
clerk of the court he will have nothing
clso.
Thoman Sturgess of the Fifth ward Is an
other silver republican who Is not looking
for _ empty honors. The democrats and
populists have been trying to tempt him
with the nomination for commissioner from
the Fifth district , but bo persists that ho
wants none of It In his. Several democrats
are now after tiho place , among whom C.
R. Forbes of the Sixth ward Is apparently
the strongest.
PARENTS NEGLECT IMBECILE

Son to Wander from Home Ar-
rcntcd for Inhuman Treatment.
Joseph Love , a laborer living at 1612 Dor
cas otrect , has been locked up In the city
Jail for cruelty to his 16-yearrold son , Joe.
A complaint was entered against him by
Rev. Father Williams , vice president ot the
Humane society , who has had occasion to
care for the lad many times of late owing
to the parents' neglect.
The boy , Joe , Is not ot sound mind , and
during the last four years , when ho has been
allowed to run around the etreets , ho has
'been ' n constant burden to the police , for
they have furnished him with food and shel
ter most of the tlmo. The boy's father and
mother say they are unable to keep the lad
at home. They Insist that he runs away
whenever an opportunity offers , but the
patrolmen who have itakon Joe homo many
times state that ho is afraid to enter the
house , because of the treatment he receives
from his parnto. The mother has asked the
city to take charge of Joe.
The coldest nights of winter the police
have often round the lad running about
scantily clad and almost starved. They us
ually sent him to the elation In the patrol
wagon and furnished him with food and
a worm place to sleep. In 'tho ' morning the
father was notified. Sometimes ho took the
trouble to go after his son , but oftencr he
allowed him to stay at the Jail until sent
away.
The boy remains away from homo many
days at a time nnd twice when wandering
about the etreets ho has been run over by
electric care. At Eighteenth and Vlnton
streets last fall ho was struck by the South
Omaha motor and seriously hurt. At Twen
ty-eighth nnd Leavonworth streets ho ran
in front of a motor about a year ago and
received injuries which laid him up for sev
eral weeks. The boy la dangerous at times
and frequently has chased children who an
noy him. He was arrested ouco for pelting
a lot of small boys with bricks , the boys
having teased him ,

Considerable Interest was aroused in rail
road circles by the publication a few days
ago of the statement that the Union Pacific
was experiencing some difficulty In the ex
periment of oiling Its tracks by the oil
catching fire from the sparks nnd Hvo coals
thrown from the engines. A close student
of railroad affairs who has looked Into the
matter for his personal Information gives
the result ot his observation as follows :
"I believe that the trouble which the
Union Pacific Is having with Its oiled roadbed
catching flro Is directly attributable to thfi
smokestacks with \shlch Its engines are
provided. With but few exceptions the
Union Pacific smokestacks are diamond in
shape with a petticoat over the mouth. The
llvo sparks coming from the flro box are re
tarded In leaving the stack , and , Instead of
having frco exit whereby they arc thrown
many feet Into the air , the force of the exit
Is lessened by the dlamond-shapo of the
stack and the petticoat so that the sparks
fall to the ground before they have had' ' a
chance to become extinguished. In this
manner the oil , which Is ot the same char
acter as that used by the Burlington , becomes -
comes Ignited. This Is the only reason that
can bo assigned why the Union Pacific
should have any more difficulty In this re
spect than the Burlington. The engines of
the latter road nro provided with open
Btncks , through which the sparks are car
ried high into the open air by the velocity
of the emoko and when they fall to the
ground have lost all their fire. "

The second series of exposition excursions

opportunity to visit Omaha , although the

anticipated by the passenger officials. Ar
rangements are now liolng made for the

double attraction afforded by the Ak-Sar-

In an attendance of Nebraska people which
will approach In a measure the great crowds
that swarmed Into Omaha during the latter
part of the exposition last year. The passen
ger departments of the various Nebraska

The action of the Chicago , Milwaukee &

to mean that the 'troubles which led to the
withdrawal of the Milwaukee from the West

makes a lower rate from Chicago to the

made whereby the rate Is good for the trav
eler going via either Minneapolis or Omaha
and passenger officials of other western lines
In the field for thla business state that the
reduction of the Milwaukee will bo promptly
met by them. It Is understood that the
rate will have little effect so far as Omaha
Is concerned and the motive for making the
reduction was In order that it should npply

BAD DOLLARS ON TmflVIARKET

on the StrcctH of
Omaha.
For montns after the arrest and subse
quent conviction of the members of the Mc-
Carty band of countorfolters who made their
headquarters at IJollevue there was very
little counterfeit silver coin upon ho mar
ket. Recently , however , numerous bad dollars
lars have been put into circulation nnd the
belief prevails among the United States offi
cials that parties who were In league with
the McCartys nro shoving out the stock of
bad colna that have been burled for some
months ,
At the tlmo of the arrest of the members
of the McCarty gang , S. A. Donella , who
was In charge of the United States secret
servlcoork here , unearthed a lot ot ma
chinery nnd material for making counterfeit
money , though he found little ot the surplus
coin. It was hU opinion at that tlmo that
there was a plant of the money somewhere
In this city , South Omaha or Bellevue , but
he was never able to locate it.
Ton days ago several of the coins bearIng -
Ing all of the marks of the McCarty mint
showed up , and since then a couple ot
do/en of them have found tholr way Into
the stores of the city. The officials are con
fident that counterfeit money Is not being
manufactured 'u this vicinity , and consequently
quently they figure that the stuff now being
put out is a portion of the old stock left
over hy McCarty and his pals.

Cunt of
LONDON , Sept. 8. I had often heard ot
the great municipal washhoures o ( London
and \\hat blessing ! they have proved to the
o\er helming slum clement of the grimy
cast end of the biggest city In the uorlil.
With the true spirit of the American abroad ,
I resolved to ask no questions , but , on the
contrary , arrayed myself in nn old dres ,
did up .1 bundle of clothed , nnd nftcr the
manner of a bona fldo London "missus , " 1
too disappeared Into the waplihouse.
Passing a turnstile , which registered
what number ofaaher I was , I found my
self nt the "box ofnce. " Here a slip of
paper was given me stamped with the time
of my entrance , I alrx > bought with my
best cockney accent "a pen'orth of soda
nnd a bit of soap , " for added to the horror
of London's filth la the hardness of the
water , which renders It useless without a
liberal supply of softening. Then I entered
a largo room clouded with steam and reck
ing with the concentrated odor of Innumer
able wash days. An attendant took my
tlmo slip , and discerning that my old clothe- ?
were a ricgreo less dilapidated than Ii usual
followed mo to the cloak room with warn
ings In all keys :
"That's a good Jacket , don't leave It here.
They'll steal It , mum , " pointing out to the
washers. "They'll tyke everything you
'nve , the flowers out of your 'at , hoveti
your 'at pins , you'll tyke 'em all with you ,
If you tyke my hndvlce. "
A tionil-.Ynturoil NVIirlibor.
I w.ifi then assigned a section In n long
row of washers and found myself In pos
session of n largo zinc tub separated from
my neighbor's by a half partition. It was
divided crosswise Into two , and there were
many faucets and discharge pipes , the workIng -
Ing of which I did not understand. I ac
cordingly turned to my neighbor for Informa.
tlon. Although tlmo meant very precious
pennies to her , she willingly stopped to help
me , and did so from tlmo to time , ns It was
necessary. This illustrates trio good nature
characteristic of the London common people ,
and I could not help contrasting It with an
experience In the same position In a Paris
wash house. The response given when In
formation was asked was "Go back to Ger
many and find out. " Thus I discovered that
the front tub Is for washing , the back for
rinsing , and when these processes are over
by an Ingenious device steam may bo In
troduced through a perforated pipe and the
clothes boiled. I then repaired to the steam
wringers. Here the
women stood with arms
akimbo waiting their turn and gossiping
meanwhile , their garrulous voices rising
above the din of wringers and running
water : "I sy , Dolly , I'm In love , " or "Dysle ,
think of a lydy's keeping a byby out tlli
yght o'clock at night ! "

What queer figures they -were ! I could
not help thinking ot the old nursery rhyme :
"Tho beggars have come to town
Some In rags and some in jags ,
And some in velvet gowns. "
On a shelf was a hat covered with roses
and ostrich plumes getting limp In the clouds
of ateam and near me a woman was wearing
a dirty velvet waist with one alcove dang
ling , ripped from wrist to shoulder. Here
again came a contrast between the English
and French working woman. French work
ers In the same posltlon would be dressed In
neat black skirts with clean bodices of blue
Jean or print ; when they went away the
washing would be wrapped In a black bundle
handkerchief , a black crochetted cape thrown
over the shoulders , the hair brushed to al
most Japanese gloss and no hat at all. Eng
lish women , on the contrary , those
I saw around mo , wear clothes
trimmed with silk and velveteen ,
dirty and slouchy , the skirts almost in
variably dragging on the ground , and the
poorer the woman the more pretentious the
hat with its elaborate architecture of
feathers and flowers. In summer , Instead
of folding away the winter cloak , they -wear
it through the hottest -weather , principally
as a. screen to hide the- rags beneath. A
French friend seeing for the first tlmo a
crowd of girls pouring out of a London fac
tory took them to bo beggars , but her sur
prise reached the maximum when eho saw
the charwoman on her knees on the front
" " the in black
walk "clay-plpeing" steps a
dress whltoned with flust and a white opron
blackened with dirt , her slovenly figure sur
mounted by a bonnet trimmed with velvet.
In laundry work , as well , I could not but
remark the Inferiority of the English wo
man , whoso pathetic bundles of filthy rags
emerged from the wash In about the state
where a French woman would plunge them
Into the tub.
In three minutes my clothes were
wrung and I pulled out the wooden horse
which had been placarded with my name ,
and , hanging the clothes around the ribs ,
I pushed It back into the hot-air chamber.
Hero again a disinterested "party" warned
mo to keep a sharp lookout Iret "they"
eteal all my wash. In twenty minutes they
were dry , and I carried the fresh crisp
bundle , missing , however , the sweet odor of
linen dried in a country garden , into the
mangling room. Thla was a largo light

n cholera epidemic she allowed her neigh
bors who had no mea/ns / of heating large
quantities of water to wash their clothes on
her premises. The ladles of the District
Provident , realizing the great benefit of this
privilege to the poor , hired additional
rooms , enabling Mrs. Wilkinson to provide
for eighty-five families a wesk. Seeing the
eagerness of the poor to avail themselves
of thes'o meager accommodations the corpo
ration of Liverpool determined to erect , at
the public expense , wash-houses in connec
tion with the baths for the people. Their
venture , opened In 1842 , was the first es
tablishment In England. They are now to
be found In all the principal towns.
As far as I can learn there Is only one
municipal public laundry In the United
States , that Is In St. Paul , and for the use
of men. It is a question for American wo
men to consider whether In the crowded
slums of our great cities such establish
ments might not prove a wise provision for
the poor.

CHANGING THEIR LOCATION
Stamp CIcrlcH at the Omnlia Pontofllec
Arc AnMlgtiird to New
fliiiirtcrM.
Increased business at the postofllco has
compelled Custodian Taylor to find new
quarters for the stamp clerks. Originally
these clerks wore given rooms In the main
part of the office , Just to the right of the
carriers' windows. During the past few
months the Increase in the mall has been
eo great that the carriers have found It
impossible to handle their mail in the rooms
assigned and consequently It has become
necessary to make some changes.
The rooms Just south of the main entrance -
trance , fronting Sixteenth , formerly oc
cupied by the superintendent of the build
ing , have been furnished nnd fitted up ,
and during the next week the stamp clerks
will bo moved into them. Carpets have
been laid and furniture put In. The furnlr
turo Is black walnut and came from the
old building , but is especially adapted for
this loom. There Is a high desk with a
rail around the front , above which there Is
glass set In brass frames.
The space formerly occupied by the
stamp clerks will bo turned over to the car
riers , and will result in giving thorn two
additional windows and one-third more
space In which to do their work.

heavy mall that came with the exposition
