astic meeting In their hall at Sixteenth and
Corby streets Thursday night. Bnrly In

Blon entered Into by the crowd disclosed

o most Interesting raannor and at great
length on current Issues of tbo campaign ,
locally and elate , and delved Into national
affairs In a manner that Indicated great
study. As the meeting progressed the hall
filled up. although there .wna a good crowd
In the beginning , and with the Increasing
mitnbera the speaker talked with Increased
enthusiasm. Ho showed facts and Figures
to provo every desertion ho Tnndc , and his
argument was strongly convincing that the
republican party Is not following any false
trail or worchlpplng any false gods.
Mr. Wharton's speech brought great op-
jilauso and the hearty hand-clapping shewed
that ho had made an Impression ui-on hie
audience.
Judge Slabaugh made ono ot hie charac
teristic speeches. Hovaa both entertain
ing and Instructive. Hq quoted facts and
figures with n readiness that disclosed thor
ough knowledge of his subject. Judge Sla
baugh always makes a. good speech , and
Thursday night was no exception. Ho Is
ono of the most energetic workers In the
campaign and Is In great demand OB a
eppakor.
D. M. Vlnuonhalcr , candidate for county
Judge , mada a plain republican talk that
carried weight with It. He apoko a word
\ ( for ' all the candidates and assured the vot-
vrs'that If bo la elected he will fill the ofllcc
of county Judge to the very beat ot his
Ability.
B. J. Cornish , who has made several other
good speeches In this campaign , made a
ound nnd efficient talk in favor ot unison.
' We must all pull together , " -was the sub-
Btanco of his remarks. Mr. Cornish also
showed that u vote for the republican party
is a etep In the direction of upholding the
honor of the nation and flrrnly establishing
the prosperity of the country.
George McDrldo , Henry Ostrom nnd others
made short talks in which they urged party
loyalty and Industry Industry in attending
to the increasing amount of business In
commercial circles , and like Industry in get
ting out to the polls and putting in a vote
to keep business up to the McKlnley
standard.
The Fifth ward has many speakers among
the laity and several ot them bad an Im
promptu utterance in favor of the party
that has brought prosperity In the place of
panic. Robert Clancy served as chairman
of the meeting and It was In every respect
ono of the most Important that has been
held his year.
PATRIOTIC LEAGUERS CONFER
Largely Attended Meeting of the
ficnenc .Yiinlnmlx a Number of
Stirring SjieechCH.
There was a largely attended meeting of
the Patriotic league Thursday night In the
largo hall on the third floor of the Mlllard.
President Hugh Myers first Invlfed all re
publicans present who had not previously
Joined to enroll tiemselves for membership ,
pnd about twenty responded.
Leo Estelle was In the hall and when
called upon advised the meeting that ho
had been around over the district consid
erably and In Douglas , Burt and Washing
ton counties ho had found the conditions a
great deal better than they had been for re
publicans for years. The republicans not
only turned out In crowds to attend the
meetings , but were seemingly full of en
thusiasm and confidence. The humblest of
them seems to realize that If Holcpmb Is
turned down in Nebraska this year it means
the end ot Bryanlsm.
, C. J. Greene spoke vigorously on ttfo two
topics most discussed nowadays by the op
position trusts and the Philippine policy ot
the administration. Ho declared that there
are no trusts today , but there are Institu
tions that have grown up from social and
economical conditions and under laws that
have arisen from fifty years of legislation
by all parties. He quoted Government sta
tistics to show that out of the 25,000,000 pro
ducers of this country about one-fifth are
the artisans who work In the factories and
shops where there Is necessity for large
capital In order to furnish them employment.
All legislation that affects finances nfteats
their ability to retain their employment ,
nnd the corporations that afford that -em-
ploymcnt are largely the sources of nil our
prosperity. No party nan ever questioned
the necessity for the exlstenpe of such cor
porations. Every period of prosperity finds
energetic and enterprising men exploiting ,
often nt the hazard of tholr capital. No
party Is responsible for them and the very
homo of them Is In Now Jersey and Dela
ware , both of which states have been em
bedded In democracy for fifty ycarp. It was
during the control of the republican party
that long and bitter litigation resulted In the
overthrow of the contention of the railway
corporations that they we're above the con
trol of the government and the establish
ment of < ho decree that the state Is supreme
in the control of the institutions within It.
Thu ronjedy for tha corporation cvl | docs not
Ho In Bryanlam , but In the genius of the
republican party.
Referring to thn Philippine question Mr.
Droetio directed attention to the fact that it
was before this government had indicated
what Its policy was to bo the Filipinos had
attacked the American soldier and Inaugu
rated on Insurrection , He believed it the
duty of the government to quell the Insur
rection and to vouchsafe to tbo humblest In
habitant of tliojo Ulnodp the security of
llfo and property enjoyed by cxory Ameri
can , Wherever the American flag1 goes men
stand erect and wherever our hugo | sounds

Mr. CJreeno declared hlmfrSlf an expansion
ist. Ho bolloved that the soventy.flvo mil
lions of American should have something to
ay about what becomes 6f the world and
should not Icavo It oil to Russia. This na
tion owns It to Itself , to the world and to the
living Oed to bear Its share In the civiliza
tion ot the world.
Captain 1'ajnier directed attention to the
fact that an American firm of contractors '
boa recently been awarded the contract lor
the erection ot a"great' steel bridge In Egypt
and that an American manufacturing firm
has contracted to furnish 16,000 , tons ot
atecl rails for an. European railway and he
wanted to know how thl could continue It
the big combinations of copltal were to bo
suppressed.
Mr. Qreeno responded that" they will not
bo suppressed , but that the objectionable
methods of their present 6rgoniiatlon will
correct themselVcs. Until recently the In
dustry of this country could not compete
with the aggregated capital of Europe , but
under the fostering cnro of the republican
party this country has now secured some
of the capital and Is going after the great
works of the world.
Captain Palmer said that' reports being re
ceived from all over the state are of the
most encouraging character and that If
Douglas county republicans do their duty
the county will go republican by 3,000 'and
the state by 15,000. He Intimated that Sen

The executive committee of the Exposition

Governor Roosevelt of New York will bo In
the stnto for one day nt least before elec
tion , and It Is thought that the time will
bo so arranged that he will be In Omaha ,
before the closing day ot the exposition.
In that event a Roosevelt day will be ob
served and the famous leader of the Rough
Riders will bo properly welcomed to the
White City by committees and prominent
citizens. Dr. Miller has been negotiating
for the presence of Governor Roosevelt for
some ttmo and while he waa In the cast
was given a promise that he would come
some tlmo during the fall. The members
of the committee feel reasonably certain
that he will bo here before October 31 and
are confident that his presence will draw
largo crowds on account ot the great pop
ularity of one ot the most widely known
heroes of the Spanish-American toar.
General Miles has positively sent word

ing from North Platte to meet General
Miles in Omaha and will be here to help

the big show. General Miles Is n warm
personal friend of Colonel Cody and will
leave Omaha to go on a hunting expedi
tion with him out In the mountains.
The committee has also received word
from Fort Crook that If nothing happens
a battalion of soldiers will be sent up to
give General Miles a proper military recep
tion nnd these , with the Indians , will be
at the train to greet him as he comes In.
The committees on reception and entertain
ment will In all probability be appointed
today.
Crowd * nt the Concert.
Another grand concert In the International
Musical Festival week was given Thursday
night by Bellstedt's bond with flattering re
sults. The three composers represented
, ware Haydn , Handel and Mozart and some
of the greatest works of the musicians were
given. Mr. Dellstedt received a perfect ova
tion personally as ho stepped upon the plat
form and the applause was so great after
each number that encores were given after
every selection except the last one , -when
Mr. Bellctedt absolutely refused to accede
to the demands , as the members of the band
were simply fagged out after the arduous
labors of so fatiguing a program. The audi
ence was a very large one , equalling In
numbers the Wednesday night attendance ,
and there was a noticeable sprinkling ot
the musicians present as well as many lovers
of high class music. The compositions were
of the sort that brought out the very best
there was In the band strong ensemble
playing. There was no falling oft in the
merits of the band's work. The concert fit
tingly closed with the "Hallelujah Chorus"
from the "Messiah , " one of the most stir
ring compositions ever written , and the
way the band arose , attacked it and carried
It through to the grand climax was a wonder.
Tonight the program will be of selections
from Italian composers and there Is a rich
treat in store for lovers of the highest class
In music.

HENRY ASSIGNED TO OMAHA
Former Commander In Porto lllco
Come * to the Department of
Mlimourl ,
WASHINGTON , Oct. 19. By direction ot
the president General Guy V. Henry , now on
waiting orders in Now York City , has been
assigned to the command ot the Department
of the Missouri , with headquarters at Omaha ,
Nob.
Sketch of Ncrr Commander ,
General Henry was mode a brigadier gen
eral laet year and served during the Spanish
war , first In southern camps and later In
1'orto Hlco , where ho was accorded the dis
tinction of being chosen as governor gen
eral ot the Island. Recently ho has been
on elck leave ,
General Henry comes from good military
stock. Ho was born nt Fort Smith , Indian
Territory , March 0 , 1839 , and Is tbo ton of
Major William Seaton Henry , Third United
States Infantry , nnd grandson ot Daniel D.
Tomklns , twice governor of New York nnd
vlco president ot the United States ; also
grandson of Smith Thompson , who was sec
retary of the navy and Judge of the supreme
court. He was appointed as a cadet-at-largo
at the United States military academy , from
which ho graduated In the- class of 1SC1 , at
the breaking out of the war of thfl rebellion ,
and assigned as a lieutenant to the First
United States artillery. He served
with great distinction during the civil war
and was brcvetted again and again for gal
lant and meritorious service. First he was
brevetted captain October 22 , 1862 , for gal
lant service while in action near Pocotallgo
river , South Carolina. November 9 , 1863 , ho
was made colonel of the Fortieth Massachu
setts volunteer * . He was brevetted major
February 20 , 1864 , for gallant service In the
battle ot Oluetee , Fla. September 9 , 1864 ,
he was brevetted lieutenant colonel for gal
lant service In front ot Petersburg , Va. , and
in less than a month afterward waa brevetted
brigadier general of volunteers for service
during the Petersburg campaign. Before be
ing mustered out of the service at the end
ot the civil war ho was brevetted colonel In
the regular army on March 13 , 1865 , for gal
lant and meritorious service during the wnr.
The news ot General Henry's assignment
to the Department of the Missouri was re
ceived with expressions of much gratification
by the officers connected with the department
In thla city. General Mcrruim , commander
of the Department of the Colorado at Den
ver , has been temporarily In charge of the
Department of the Missouri , having suc
ceeded General Sumncr April 1 , 1899. Ho
has visited Omaha at Intervals , although
the work ot the department has been almost
entirely under the direction of tbo staff
officers.
General Henry's Induction Into Omaha
military and social life again will bo balled
with delight by a vast number of warm
personal friends , outaldo of army circles.
Ho is primarily a western man and was lo
cated In Omaha for eeveral years In the
' 80's as Inspector of small arms and practice.
To him is accredited a great deal of praise
for the perfection of this system.
Since the close ot the civil war General
Henry has been a prominent figure In mili
tary circles and most of _ his service has been
in the west. June 267 1881 , he was made a
major ot the Ninth cavalry , and subsequent
to January 30 , 1892 , served in the Seventh ,
Fifth and Third cavalry regiments as lieu
tenant colonel. June I,0897 ! , he was as
signed to the Tenth cavalry ns colonel and
was made a brigadier general October 11 ,
1898.
1898.General
General Henry is familiarly known in
the army and all along the western frontier
as "Fighting Guy. " He Is a slender man ,
hardly above medium height , and probably
does not weigh over 140 pounds. His com
plexion Is fair , hla small mustache is n
very light brown and his eyes are the light
est of light blues. They look equally good ,
but only one 13 serviceable , the sight of the
other having been destroyed hj a twenty-
four-callber ball In the battle of Rosebud
creek on June 17 , 18T6. At the same time
and by the same bullet was made the deep
scar which marks bis left cheek , near the
sightless eye.
In 1890-91 , when the Wounded Knee cam
paign occurred , General Henry and his com
mand were stationed at Fort Robinson. Gen
eral Miles sent to him by No-neck , s rgeant
of the Indian scouts , a dispatch ady/slng him
of the perilous situation at Pine Rldgo
agency. Immediately upon receipt of that
dispatch "Fighting Guy" mounted three
companies of the Ninth United States cav
alry ( colored ) and rode without unsaddling ,
in twenty-four hours , the distance of 104
miles to General Miles' relief.
As soon as ho arrived he held a hurried
consultation with General Miles and his staff.
The dangerous position ot the Seventh cav
alry at Wounded Knee being made known to
him , ho ordered his men to mount at once
and ride to the succor of their comrades.
General Miles ordered him to saddle up ,
but ho replied that he had no time for that ;
he was looking for Indians , not saddles.
Miles threatened to court-martial him for
disobedience , but he replied Indifferently :
AH rlcht when we get back , " and galloped
off. Hta command , riding bareback , hardly
drew rein until they had ridden the fourteen
inllos , which brought them to Wounded Knee

arrival the Seventh cavalry might have been
annihilated , as were Custcr and his men.
For that achievement "Fighting Guy" was

Yesterday's registration amounted to 1,101 ,
which Is equal to former first dayi. It was'
not , however , an many a * was expected by
either the republican or democratic manag
ers , By party affiliation the registration
shows 414 republican voters and 410 dnno-
tratlc voters , with the balance scattered bo-
twcan Independents and populist * . The num
ber who declared themselves Independent
fits surprisingly lame , but It Is known that
quite a proportion of these Independents have
a loaning toward republicanism. Several
prominent democrats refused to give In to
the registrars their political nmilntlons and
consequently they were marked down ns
having no party. Those no party men are
oxpotcd to vote a split ticket , so that
neither side can count their votes with any
surety.
The registering ot 1,100 vote ? on the first
day Is considered a fair Indication ot Inter
est In the campaign , ns It Is nearly one-third
of the vote expected. It Is reported that
the democrats are trying to hold back the
registration In order to make a big play on
the last day qf registration. The- fall reg
istration for the last five years follows :
1895 2.G67 ; 1806 3,322 ; 18D7 2,887 ; 1898
3,235.
It will thus bo seen that yesterday's reg
istration Is up to the overage.

J. II. Mlllard has resigned as president of
the South Omaha National bank and yes
terday the directors ot the Institution met to
take some action on the resignation. Mr.
Mlllard contemplates an extended trip
abroad aud for this reason decided to hand
In his resignation to the directors ot the
bank. At yesterday's mooting the stock in
the bank held by Mr. .Mlllard was purchased
by Guy C. Barton and E. W. Nash and Mr.
Nash was elected a member ot the directory
to succeed Mr. Mlllard. E. A. Cudahy of
the Cudahy Packing company , is vice presi
dent of the bank and the directors decided
to pontpono the election ot officers until
the regular meeting. This leaves Mr. Cud
ahy as acting president. According to
statements made at yesterday's meeting It
appears that the deposits of the bank hayc
nearly doubled within the last .six months.
It Is understood on the street that the Mll
lard btock brought a good price. No changes
In the personnel ot the bank will be made
until the annual meeting of the directors ,
when it ia expected that a new president
will bo elected.
The report that Mr. Millnrd had also re
signed the presidency of the Omaha Na
tional bonk was entirely without founda
tion. The sale of his South Omaha National
stock has no bearing whatever , so Mr. Mll
lard eald , In connection with the Omaha
National.

Ileiinlrn on Q , Street Viaduct.
The Q elect viaduct Is being replankcd
and consequently the street cars have
stopped running out Q street. Ju t now the
stub car stops at Twenty-seventh instead of
going on to Thirty-third , When the planks
on the bridge are all rolald it is expected
that the raile will be laid and that the or
dinary traffic on the line will be resumed.
It will pcasibly bo a week before the rail
roads will bo through with the floor of the
bridge , and during thl tlmo all pas engers
who ordinarily take the stub line will be
compelled to walk the greater part of the
distance to Twenty-fourth areet.
Track I.uylng CommcnccH ,
Track laying at the west end of Armour's
plant commenced yesterday afternoon. About
300 tons ot rails are to be laid. The grading
for these railroad yards has not been com
pleted , but enough has been done to warrant
the commencement of track laying. Before
the yards can bo completed the retaining
wall at the west end must be built , but this
will not bo started until the last load of
dirt is taken. When completed , these yards
will hold a largo number of cars and will
relieve the pressure in tbo lower yards
a great deal.
