Amid tlnccro solccnnlly and slmpllc'ty be
fltttng 'a'itiKgcd , honest life. the remains of
Alvln Saundcra , Nebraska's war governor.
wore laid lo rest yesterday afternoon In For-
cet Lawn cemetery. There wns a notable ab-
tcnco of the pmp that frequently character- [ ;
lies the funeral of a grcnt man , but It was i
none the less notable. The cortege was ono
of the largest ever teen In Omaha , and I I
nmong the mourners were many dlsi i I
tlngutahcd citizens and pioneers. !
Governor Saitndcrs was plain In llfo and
BO far as possible ho was given a p'aln
burial , because those ho left behind knew
Ills tastes and respected iliem.
Religious services wcro held at the resi
dence , 2008 Sherman avenue , pro'tmlnary to
the march to the cemetery , llcv. J. H. In
gram , pastor of a Christian church In Los
Angeles , Cal. , officiated. HPV. Ingram Is tin
old friend of the Saunders family aud whlla
on nn ea'stern trip stopped In Omaha to visit
the aged governor. He arrived In tlrao to
stand by the blcr and to say the last sul :
rites. Brief services were alsa held nt the
Kravcslde.
I.ovnl Ieilnii I'nrtlelpateN.
The M'llltary Order of the Loyal Legion , of
Tvblch Governor Snundors waa n member ,
took a prominent part In the funeral exer
cises , and from this organization came the
lionorary pallbearers. They were : Ex-
Governor Furnns of Drownvlllc , Dr. Horace
Ludlngton , Major John 13. Furay , J. J.
Dickey , L. H. Korty , William Wallace , Dr.
S. D. Mercer nnd Colonel C. II , Fredericks.
Governor Saundcrs belonged to the third
class of the Loyal Legion , a rank composed
ifc > of distinguished men noted for loyalty , but
not necessarily participants In active bat
tle. This class In eo exclusive and so high
that only two men have recently had such
honor In Nebraska. Governor Saundcrs was
one of these nnd L. H. Korty Is the other.
The active pallbearers were : Ed P.
Teck , Luther Drake , Alfred M'lllard , Arthur
C. Wakolcy , V. n. Caldwcll , Harry Cartan ,
T. M. Orr and Henry C. Sharpc.
While the body of the dead war governor
remained In atate at the family residence
hundreds of mourning friends called to take
a last look at the face that was once so
familiar In public affairs of Nebraska.
Among the callers were numerous pioneers
with snowy hair and feeble step. But the
younger generation did not neglect to pay
respect , nnd representatives of all condi
tions In llfo thronged tbn Saunders home.
I'athetlu Scene nt the liler.
There was a. pathetic scene In the morning
when Dr. George L. Miller stood with bowed
head and looked down Into thecasket. . Dr.
Miller has suffered bereavement at his own-
homo. Mrs. Miller , n pioneer among Omaha
women , was buried In the afternoon only a.
few hours after the doctor called to pay his
last respects to the dead chieftain. Dr.
Miller's grief was double. 'Ho ' said little ,
"but " his countenance sgoko volumes.
Among the other prominent callers wera
General Manderson , Henry W. Yates , Ben
H. Wood , General Superintendent Clowry of
the AVestern Union Telegraph company ,
Chicago , and othora who attended the fu
neral In the afternoon. Two attendants were
Iccpf , busy nt the d6or nnd 'they could not
begin to enumerate the visitors.
.Telegrams of condolence have been pour
ing In over sluce the death . . 'of Governor
Saunders. Some of these telegrams are of
letter length. Among those who 'telegraphed
are Robert T. Lincoln and family , "Reed Ben
edict of Now York , ex-Governor Robinson
of Indiana , II. W. Ross of New York , Heze-
klah King of New York , ex-Governor
Thomas ot Utah , besides numerous congressmen -
men and other notables in public life.
A sad feature of the funeral was the re
ceipt of a dlepatch from G. W. Saunders , an
nged bank president of Mount Pleasant , la ,
and a cousin ot tbo deceased. These two
were about' tbo name age. As boys they
played together and oa men they shared a
friendship that waa beautiful In its con
stancy. Mr. Saundcrs of Mount Pleasant is
so ill that ho could not attend the funeral ,
hut ho rallied from his sick bed long enough
to dictate a lengthy personal message to the
family. Thlo Is held as a sacred memento.
A. H. Saundcrs of Springfield , 111. , arrived
yesterday to attend the 'funeral. Mr.
. Saundora Is a nephew of the governor.

There nro eomo people who have piles as
frequently and regularly as other people
have colds.
n Any llttln bowel trouble will bring them
on , any extra exertion , as In lifting , will
produce them , nnd In fact will often appear
without any apparent provocation. 1'lles ,
however , are much moro serious than a cold ,
an the tendency Is always to grow worse
until the trouble bocomeb deep seated and
chronic , or develops into some fatal rectal
disease ,
While there are many pile remedies which
r.tve relief , yet thcro Is but ono which not
ouly gives Instant relief but at the same
tlmo makes n permanent curt ) , and that Is
the well known Pyramid Pile Cure ,
This remedy Is composed of simple , harm
less vegetable Ingredients , but if.mlined so
effectively and ai/.3 so promptly f iui thor
oughly that It cures every form of piles ,
whether Itching , blind , bleeding or protrud
ing.

In long standing cases the Pyramid L le
Cure has proven to be the fnly certain euro
except a tmrglcnl operation , and Its advan- j

The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by the

for sale by druggists everywhere at 50 centa

treatise on cause and euro of piles , together
with testimonials from every section of tbli

trmslvo wreaths , fragrant with beautiful
magnolias ; the Commercial club of Omaha
sent a pretty design of flowers typical of
Nebraska ; Individual friends sent so many
wreatbo and other emblems that the re
cipients could not keep a list of them.
Probably ono ot the most highly prized
tokens wan the offering ot the Loyal Legion
the official emblematic button of the or
der , woven out of red , white nnd blue
flowers. It was plain , but beautiful , and the
sentiment It conveyed counted much.
Sabbath-llko stillness prevailed on Sher
man avenue In the vicinity of the Saundcr.t
homo whllo the funeral was In progress.
Hvon those who had never enjoyed the per-
penal acquaintance of the dead governor
showed their respect silently , but none the
1(03 Impressively.
The fSovcniiir'n ( Mil I'nMor.
It seemed peculiarly fitting for Rev. In
gram to conduct the funeral service , for In
the Into ' 70s nnd early ' 80s he was In chnrgo
of the Flrfet Christian church In this city ,
and It was then that friendship was ce
mented between the paslor and the governor.
Shortly after 2 o'clock the service was be-
gun at the residence. The Harmony quartet ,
composed of Miss Northrup , soprano ; Mrs.
C. W. Morton , alto ; Dan II. Wheeler , Jr. ,
tenor , and H. F. Stryker , bass , tang "Lead ,
Kindly Light. " "Abide With Me" nnd
"Peace , Perfect Pence. " The quartet ac
companied tbo cortege to the cemetery ,
where "Asleep In Jesus" was sung as the
body was lowered Into the grave. At the
homo service Rev. Ingram talked briefly :
"I am not here to preach a funeral ser
mon , " the speaker said , "but rather to pay
a sincere tribute In plain words to our de
parted friend and brother. It has been eald
that faith , hope and love arc ho trinity
. of Virtues. I believe wo all concur that Gov-
j ernor S.iunders possessed this trinity In
great measure. "
The minister then briefly reviewed the
splendid and eventful career nt the deceased
governor as. a citizen , statesman , friend and
brother.
Whllo the solemn fccrvlcc progressed the
house was crowded nnd many mea , old and
young , and a few women , stood on the lawn.
Among the Omaha pioneers in attendance
wcr < > : John Kvans , A. D. Jones , P. L.

Cuony , George P. Bemls , T. S. Clarkson , C.
II. Frederick and A. Burlcy , besides many
others equally prominent.
Snt on the Stepw nnil Cried.
Whllo the quartet sang Its solemn hymns
and the minister spoke his'words of tribute ,
there occurred a scene that would melt a
licart of adamant.
An old man , with silvered hair , dimmed
eyes and bended form , crouched down upon
the front steps of the Saundcrs home , his
back turned to the crowd within. His face
was half burled In his wrinkled hands. He
leaned upon an old-fashloncd walking ; stick.
Ho spoke not a word , but the tears that
trickled down his cheeks told plainly the
story ot his sorrow , At the close of the
service ho- hobbled away. This old man wns
A. D. Jones , the pioneer postmaster ot
Omaha. Mr. Jones Is 86 years old nnd had
known Governor Saunders 'throughout the
tenure of his history-making In Nebraska.
Another veteran who was deeply touched
by the death of the governor was D. II.
AVhceler , sr. "I was with Governor Saun
ders on that memorable visit to President
Lincoln when ho secured the lost official sig
nature of the great emancipator. " said the
venerable Mr. Wheeler.
The Real Estate exchange honored the
memory of the dead by sending a largo
delegation. It was a token In remembrance
ot the good work accomplished by Governor
Saunders In helping to build Omaha/
Charles L. Saunders. son of the governor ,
Is connected with the city treasurer's office.
Treasurer Edwards and his entire force at
tended the funeral In carriages and went
ns a part of the escort to the grave. Many
other departments of the city and county
government -were also represented.
In speaking of Governor Saunders ono of
the young pioneers said : "It Is a fitting trib
ute for the young generation of Omaha to
pay Its lost respects to the dead governor ,
for he was ever the friend of the young man
starting out In life. He gave good advice ,
but ho didn't always stop at that , for If
necessary ho stood ready to render more
substantial aid. "

brief services at the house , and the church
service was attended by a 'Very ' largo num
ber of the older residents of the city who
had known the deceased for many years. A
long line of carriages made up tbo cortege ,
Tbo fact that the funerals of Mrs. Miller
and Governor Saundcrs were held nt the
same hour prevented nll'from attending that

Ono ol the beat republican meetings of
the campaign was hold Saturday night In
the Patterson blocU hy'tho Swedish-Ameri
can Garfleld club. Some excellent speakers
were present and they were enthusiastically
received by the members of the club , who
arc among the most loyal adherents thu
party has.
John Steel preoldcd and Introduced to his
countrymen II. N. Wood , candidate for the
school board. Jlr. Wood mnde a frank state
ment of his Ideas of what u member of the
tchool board should be , n man of Integrity
nnd considerable business ability and not
hampered by promises or by "strings" upon
him In the hands of nny organization or
corporation. If the republican nominees wcro
elected ho felt euro that they would retire
from ofnco without leaving behind them the
memory of Jobbery leftby some former
members.
Henry Ostrom , candidate for county com-
mlesloucr , drew a brlct contrast between
the conditions which had prevailed previous
to the last general election and those of to
day. This year men were too busy even to
register except under the most Insistent urg
ing. There waa , ho said , only ono reason for
the change and It had been the masterly ad
ministration of President McKlnloy.
Harry Hromo made ono of the principal
speeches of the evening. He called attention
to the fact that foreign-born citizens almost
as a rule did more to discharge the duties
of citizenship faithfully than uatlvo Ameri
cans and while ho deplored negligence
of the latter he rejoiced that the country's
additions should bo of such eminent fitness
for self-government. The Swedish-Americans
upon coining to this country sometimes knew
little or nothing of the history of the parties
or the Issues they upheld , but It was cus
tomary among them to set to work at once
investigating the subject and It wns this
careful review ot the situation that brought
so many of them into the republican party.
The Epeakcr declared that It was not neces
sary to go very far back into the history ot
the country to see that the republican party
stood for the moat advanced Ideas of the
est American citizenship. The present
oader ot the democratic party hud changed
IB'issues with every campaign. When ho
ound that his predictions ot 1S92 had fnllec
o come true and that free trade had wrecked
tie industries of. the country ho laid It to
omothlng P-JW , the scarcity of money. The
epubllcans had said that there was money
nough but no business to be done. Which
nalysls had proved to be the true one ?
A Tnrcly Toller.
Jlr. Brome pointed out that although the
emocratlc speakers had lamented Dewey'f
allure to sail away from Manila at once
fter the battle , no ono In the whole country
md thought of It at the time. On the
ontrary the cry was unanimous-that troops
bould bo sent over to complete the work
The sovereignty of the Islands could not
ave been transferred to the United States
without the help of the democrats In the
enate and Bryan and Allen knew what the j
reaty of peace meant when they supported
"As for expansion , " concluded the speaker ,
It Is not nn Issue In the campaign for the
eason that Bryan himself , If ha were pres-
dent tomorrow , couldn't withdraw the army
roni the Philippines without violating his
ath of office. "
Robert Smith , candidate lor the Board of
Education , made a few remarks nnd wan
allowed by John C. Wharton In a rousing
ulogy of the work of the present admlnls-
r.itlon.
"Mr. Bryan , " said Mr. Wharton , "Is a man
f free principles. His first was free trade ,
hen ho held to free sliver , and now It la
ree-everythlng to get into office. In 1892 ,
vhen the treasury at Washington was filled
with money accumulated under an era of
unprecedented prosperity , Bryan said , 'This
s pretty good , but there's too much money.
et us get into office and we will scatter a
ittlo of It around. ' And didn't they keep
heir promise. They scattered It all and
hey have been scattering ever since , only
now they scatter words Instead of money. "
Coming to the question of Imperialism Mr.
Wharton said that Bryan knew perfectly
well that the republican party was not
enslaving four millions of people and ho
was sure that the party that had freed eight
millions could bo trusted with the welfare
of the Filipinos.
M * . Mullory of the Sixth "ward was the
concluding speaker , adding his testimony to
the existence of prosperity and predicting
success for both state and county tickets.
EIGHTH WARD REPUBLICANS
Clo lnir Meeting of the Campaign
AmouR thu Ever Faithful In
n. < iOoil One.
The weekly meeting of the Eighth Ward
Republican club at Wolf's hall attested the
fealty of Its members to the republican
cause , for thcro was the invariable good at
tendance. The regular order of business for
me evening was , or course , ino goou 01 tno
party. Chairman Rowley Introduced 0. P. M.
Brown , who threw a little light In upon the
pata grabbing , house rent hustling" record of
Silas A. Holcomb , and contrasted It with the
upright career of Manoalt B , RCCBO while the
latter occupied a position upon the supreme
bench. He declared that the state has never
had a public servant who was n moro sub
servient tool ot the corporations than Hol
comb , who In spite of the tenets of hlu party
against the acceptance of favors from the
railways , fell an easy victim to the Insidious
temptation of free passes for himself and
friends. Ho showed how Holcomb , after hav
ing condemned the blanket ballot measure
of his party In a special message , finally al
lowed It to become a law because he did not
have the courage ot his convictions to veto
It. He pointed to Holcomb'a palpable viola
tion of the tplrlt of the lira and police com
mission law In appointing to positions upon
the board only fuslonlste , to show that he
was too partial to make a good Judge ,
J , L. Kaley exposed the pretense of tbo
fualonlstd that they are conducting a cam
paign without means by pointing to the fact
that they have filled the state with speakers
from abroad , that they are putting up the
beat campaign ho had ever known them to
conduct and that for tbo evening before the
election they had already rented eight of
the best halls lu the county. He Bald that
tboy have some of the wealthiest monopo
lists of Omaha In their party , among them
being the officers of the great mining trust
of tbo United States. He went over tbo rec
ord * of Holcomb and Reese and showed that
while the former sought the nomination with
might and main , the latter was nominated
against Ills wishes. Holcomb's nomination ,
he said , was not according to the wishes ot
either the democratic or populist convention ,
but In compliance with the dictation of the
trluinvfrate ol Dry an , Allen and Holcomb ,
who parcel out tbo offices ,
K. W. Slineral directed attention to ( he
fact that , while the organ of fusion Is as
sailing fiomo ot the present Judges ot tbo
district court for the manner in which the
affaire of defunct savings banks have been
conducted , It did not mention that all of the
rccelvens were appointed by Judges Duffie
and Ecott. He also pointed out the fltuesi ol
Judge Re < * 6 for the oftlcc ot nuprtmo Judge
and the untUncea ot his opponent , and closed
by predicting that.If . the republicans get
out ( ho vote registered they will carry thU
county by 2.ROO to 3,000 , and Lee Honlman
had told him that It the republicans carry
the county by l.SOO Bryan la gone.
SPEECH BY MR. ROSEWATER
Knthnlnxllo nnit KtttertnlnliiR llc-
linlillfiiit Meeting ; In llclil at
Ilnll ,
Ono of the most Intensely Interesting
meetings ot the campaign was held In
Oruenig's hall at Twenty-fourth street nnd
Vines avenue Saturday night under the
auspices ot the Sixth Ward Republican club.
Charles Gratton prceldcd. The principal
nililrtKj was made by Hon. Kdward Hose-
vater , who was given the closest attention
hroiighout a speech ot much power and
filled with facts for voters.
Mr. Rosownter began by saying there
wns an old adage attributed to Abraham j
Incoln that you could fool all ot the people |
sotno of the time nnd some ot the people
nil of the time , but could not fool all ot tha
people all of the time. This , ho said , was
xppllcable to the present campaign. "Threa
prars ago hundreds of men wcro standing
on the street corners talking , buzzing and
discussing the financial situation. At that
.Imo there were nearly. If not quite , 1,000,003
idle men In the United States who were In
terested In the financial remedy movement.
Then it wns stated by Bryan nnd his follow
ers that no prosperity could come until
the mints were open ; but now wo see. the I
mills running day nnd night and the mlnta
have not been opened. Three years ago i
the opposition prophesied disaster , but they
were fnlso prophets nnd the people can bo
trusted to leave their advice alone.
"In the present campaign , " continued th i
speaker , "I have been surprised and amused
to find there are but two candidates Wil
liam Jennings Bryan and Kdward Rosewatcr.
You would think by reading the opposition
papers wo were the candidates nnd that
Bryan was candidate for supreme Judge In
stead of Holcomb. Bryan goes traveling
over the etato In special trains and ahead
ot him are sent bills like those used by Bar-
num. on which ho had printed , 'Walt for
me. '
"Tho great masses of the people do their
own thinking and will not be misled hy Mr.
Bryan. Ho stood up In congress and advo
cated free trade , stating positively there
could ho no permanent prosperity without
It. But his theory has been shown to bo
absolutely false. Ho paid no tin pinto could
over bo manufactured In this country and
at the present tlmo there are over 40,000
men employed in Its manutaqturc.
"Mr. Bryan says the protective tariff la
the -mother of trusts. Well , why did ho
not strangle the old mother when ho had
the opportunity in congress ? Ho had abun
dant opportunity to Introduce bills , but he
never raised his voice in protest against
the encroachment of trusto. The reason
may have been that ho was linked In some
manner with them at that tlmo and his
connection with the Missouri Pacific rail
way ns attorney at Lincoln mav have had
something to do with his silenco.
"Again , many people have supposed Bryan
to bo In sympathy with labor , but ho never
did anything to show it. During the great
strike In Chicago ho never uttered one word
of sympathy or encouragement to the laborIng -
Ing men , although he was In congress at
the time. He never lent nny aid to Debs
when ho was In the midst of the troubles
among strikers. Ho dodged every time.
Men arc what they do , not what they pro
fess ; what they act , not what they talk.
"Ho docs not talk so much about gov
ernment by Injunction now as ho did. Per
haps ho has been shown by our mutual
friend , Judge Scott. Just how much gov
erning can bo done by Injunction. He Is
perambulating the state , asking the people
to vote for him as though ho were the
savior of the race and had the only bread
of salvation.
"All his silver theories have bceni ex
ploded and his wild Ideas have been flatly
contradicted by facts. Ho goes about tbo
country trying to make people believe they
are hypnotized and the prosperity they enJoy -
Joy Is but a dream. Ills remedies for the
euro of the trust ovll are simply nostrums ,
not practicable. In fact ho does no-t want
any cure. He wants calamity , so he can
always pose as a savior with a cure for the
evils.
"Mr. Bryan worked hard for the ratifica
tion of the treaty with Spain. This treaty ,
as ho well knew , mcunt the annexation of
'tho ' Islands to the United Stales. Ho says
ho knew it was a bad thing , but worked for
t In order to get peace. Now he Is con
demning the president for upholding the
terms of itho treaty and protecting the lives
and property of people this country Is under
boundcn duty to care for. Ho clamors for a
protectorate nnd Is against militarism. To
nave a protectorate thcro must bo an army
: o keep order In the Islands. "
The speaker took up the record of Silas A.
Holcomb , candidate for supreme Judge , and
told of the Bartloy bond negligence , of his
connection with the penitentiary scandal ,
when the state paid three or four times as
much for Rome old machinery and itrucl : aa
It was worth , and of his broken promises
and acta without compassion for the un
fortunate , as shown by his neglect to show
clemency In worthy cases. Ho said Judge
Reese had no weed of eulogy , as his record
was well known , ho having served Iho people
plo In 'tho ' capacity of supreme Justlco as ,
ably as any man who over occupied the high ,
position.
Irving G. Barlght , candidate for cleric ot
the district court , made a short talk full of
good hard hits and sound common sense. Ho
recalled a conversation In which his op
ponent , Broadwell , had asked that there bo no
mud slinging. The opposition had done
nothing else nnd ho did not think Broad-
well had kept faith In the promises. F. D.
Bryant , candidate for treasurer , also spoke
for a few minutes on the Issues before the
people. Dryco Crawford of the Fifth ward ,
candidate for Justice ot the peace ,
called the attention of the audience
to the fact 'that ' the ticket was
long and the tnllendcrs desired votes
as well as ithoso at the top. R. Pratt , a
member of the club , wns called to the front

Frank Hroaducll , the fusion candidate for
dlctrlct court clerk , Is making his campaign
before Iho public as a business man ot ex
ceptional qualifications. This Is his cue stock
In trade and ho In working It for all It U
worth. He may bs nil right i far as his
private business affairs are concerned , but
ns treasurer of South Omaha , according to
the records , ho has shown n profound dlsre
gnrd for the Interests of the taxpayer * . In
fact ho linn been mixed up In questionable
transactions that In other cities would
hnvo demanded Instant Invcstlgatlcn.
The business of city warrant shaving in
South Omaha has grown to Imtncnnj proportions
tions tlnco Broadwcll became treasurer of
the Magic City nnd no employe or creditor of
the municipality but who has been compelled
to treat with Broadwcll's friends In gelling
his warrants cashed. H bas become so no
torious , this business ot warrant shaving ,
by the cllquo which Brradwell permits to
fatten off the city that nn Investigation has
several times been sorlausly con > lclcrel. And
It Is no secret that Ilroadwcll himself has
had a slice of the plo openly , In tome cases ,
buying the warrants himself.
Slinvlui ; the Clty' Creditor * .
Approximately $90,000 cf S uth Omaha clt >
warrants are now outstanding upon whlcli
the taxpayers pay 7 per cent Interest. Hold
ers of these warrants are compelled to wait
from ono year to fifteen cnouths to got thcli
money or discount them with IJrondwell's
warrant shavers. Although warranlo hive
lately been forced up to par by republican
prosperity In most Instances the "pound
flesh" haa been exacted from little and big
allko nnd the select coterlo grows rlcl
through the assistance cf "Business Man'
Uroadwcll.
But playing In with warrant shavers whllo
uo doubt profitable to those engaged In the
business can only bo operated on a sinal
scale and Is not a marker to what has beer
i done In manipulating the bond Issues o
' South Omaha. Since his Incumbency of the
treasurer's office It has' been nn unhcard-o
thing , with one exception , to Invlto bids for
proposed bond Issues. The taxpayers have
been saddled with mortgages disposed of a
private sale to preferred purchasers with
out publication or competition. In every
other city In the country when bonds an
sold bids are Invited and the highest respon
slblo bid accepted by which the taxpayer ,
secure the advantage of liberal premium !
warranted by tha state of the money mar
iet. Broadwell's business administration
however , had disposed of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars of South Omaha City bonds
jy private contract nt premiums that are a
mere bagatelle , although the bonds bear
high rates of Interest.
Flagrant lloiicl Manipulation ) ! .
The most flagrant example of this system ,
illustrating how It operates upon the tax
payers , may bo found by examining the last
: wo bond Issues floated under Broadwell's
treasurcrshlp. On July 1 , 1S99 , ho sold $70-
)00 ) of refunding bonds bearing G per cent
Interest , nt n premium of $873. This sale
was an exception to the general rule , be
cause several bids were entertained and the
premium Is doubtless larger than would
otherwise have been secured , although by
no means what the bonds should have
brought.
Three months later , however , October 1 ,
1899 , another batch of bonds were disposed
ot without bids. These bonds bore C per
cent Interest , a rate 1 per cent higher than
the others , yet the premium secured was
only $150 on an Issue ot $22,300. If they had
been floated on the same basis as the July
Issue the premium would have been several
times that amount.
All these bonds were negotiated through
personal friends of Mr. Broadwcll , represent
ing eastern bond syndicates , that disposed
of thorn at much higher rates.
Savru Per Cent Ilondfl Almont a Gift.
The district paving bonds of South Omaha ,
which bear 7 per cent Interest , have been
disposed ot under this same system in vari
ous amounts at premiums almost too ridicu
lous to mention. Ono Issue of October 1 ,
1897 , of $29,000 , brought a premium of $ loo.50.
Two other issues ot Octob.er 1 , 1897 ,
bearing 7 per cent Interest , aggregating
$9,000 , were disposed of without premium ;
$12,000 of bonds Issued November 1 , 1S9S ,
bearing G per cent interest ; brought $80 pre
mium and another G per cdnt .Issue of $33-
000 , under the same date , brought a premium
of $175. District grading' bonds of District
34 In the sum of $900 wcro disposed of Octo
ber 1 , 1S98 , bearing 7 per'cent Interest nt
a premium of only $3 , and another batch of
these bonds of $21,000 , Issued n month later ,
brought a premium of only $103.
It Is needles ? to say that the purchasers
of most of these bonds are largely the same
Identical persons , the sales being made
through two or three local agents ot eastern
brokers , although In the case cf the district
grading bonds , gome of the contractors bavo
taken them in part payment on their con-
tracts. In the Interval the taxpayers ot
South Omaha will bo defraying the expense
ot this business administration for tbo next
twenty years.

The language of the speaker wai faultless
his argument was basc/1 on sound logic , his
delivery waa forcible and nt times dramatic
Ho reviewed the story of the civil war am
the Issues that led to It. Ho lauded the re
publican party for the abolition of slavery
He drew a striking contrast between Abrn
ham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis , quoting a
speech delivered by each ( it the outset of th
war. Tbo Lincoln speech counseled conesrv
atlsm In so far as possible , closing with th
hope that "oil will yet end well , " H
quoted Jefferson Davis at Montgomery , Ala.
where ho oald : "I sco a bright futurn befor

The way to bo well Is to pty attention , to I
your kidneys.
They are the moat important organs of the
body the blood flltera.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kldneya once every three minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out tha Im
purities In the blood that IB their work.
Purifying your blood is not a question of
taking a laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your bowels ?
What the bowcl-olcanor does la to throw
out the poisons confined In your bowels ready
for absorbtlon Into your blood , but the pois
ons which are already In your blood , causing
your present sickness , it leaves thoro.
There is no other way of purifying your
blood except by means of your kidneys.
That Is why bowel-cleaners fall to do
their work they fall to help the kidneys.
When you arc olck , then , no matter what
you think the name of your disease Is , the
flrat thing you should do is to afford aid to
your kidneys by using Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root , the great Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural
help to nature , for Swamp-Root Is the most
perfect healer and gentle aid to the kid
neys that Is known to medical science.
Dr. Kilmer , the eminent physician and
specialist , has attained a far-famed reputa
tion through the discovery and marvelous
success of Swamp-Root In purifying the
blood , and tberoby curing chronic and dan-
of the standing army of the United States Is
Ighty-elght one-hundredths of a eoldler teach
ach 1,000 Inhabitants.
"Now think ot that nnd then see If mlll-
arlsm la ruining this country , " the speaker
xclairned. "Militarism Is preached by the
emocrats In the hope of capturing the Ger
man vote , because they seek to remind thu
German-Americana of their army service In
ao fatherland. I have traveled through
Germany and I am hero to state as a truth
bat thcro is not a grander country In mod-
rn Europe. Prior to the standing army
ver there they had moving armies and a
onstaut turmoil. The standing army has
brought order out ot chaos. Talking about
ration ; , there are two kinds. There Is the
iold , open-handed treason of Jefferson Davis
and Robert E. Lee. They fought gallantly
and I admire Ihcm to that extent. But now
vo have another brand of traitors , the In
sidious , hidden kind. That I cannot en
dure. "
Several times during the speech Mr.
Jrecno was compelled to pause on account of
h vociferous cheering of the audience. No
speech In recent years , either In Omaha or
elsewhere , has arouued moro enthusiasm.
In closing Mr. Greene said : "I believe In
the republican party ; I love it ; I learned It
with eny rhymes In babyhood ; I uncover In
tn presence nnd suluto It as the greatest
political organization on earth.
"You veterans shot with bullets In the
CCa and saved your country with your blood ,
now go out next Tuesday nnd shoot with
your ballotn and victory shall perch upon
our glorloua banner. "
The spontaneous ovation tendered Charley
Greene by the battlo-Bcarrod heroes at the
closu of his speech wns nn honor of which
the nation's chief might well bo proud. They
shook his hands , they slapped him on the
back , they Ehouted hlu name , they showered
tlmnka upon him and nlmcot carried him
