A rally at tho Seventh Ward Ilcpubllcan
club headquarters on Park avenue Thursday
nlht brought out a representative body of
uctlvo lepubllcans. Kvery scat In the largo
hall wns taken and tho meeting was char
acterized by enthusiasm and harmony.
At a brief business stslon of the club
Acting President Arthur Ilaldwln announced
that tho democrats had made a bid of 15 for
tho Hsu of tho hall for ono day. Ho wanted
to know If thcro wum nny objection to tho
proposition. This brought forth a discussion,
In which Mr. Ottcrson, a member of the
club, ehurged that on a former occasion
when the democrats wcro allowed to use tho
hall they turned McKlnlcy's plcturo to tho
wall.
"I want to know If that outrago It to bo
repeated ?" Mr. Otterson Inquired with more
or less passion In his tone.
Judges II. S. Ilakcr said If the democrats
wero guilty of that It was worso on them
than any one else. "If they want to so bc
llltlo theniHelves let them do It and bring
shame upon their heads," Judgo Ilakcr said.
Anton Inda explained that tho plcturo was
not turned to tho wall, but that It was at
tached to a large Hag overhanging tho chair
man's table; that tho democrats used tho
hall for primaries and that tho flag was In
the way because It swept over the tablo and
that the democrats simply wrapped tho Hag
around a polo which supports It. He did not
believe any harm woh Intended. This had a
paclllc effect nnd tho proposition carried
without further discussion.

Judge Ilaker delivered tho principal ad
dress of the ovenlng.
"This is n republican audience and there Is
no need of a speech designed to convert
volerB to the republican doctrine," tho Judgo
said, "hut rather to arouse them to action
and to get them In lino for p.ood work on
election day."
Judge Ilaker delivered n forcible tribute
to President McKInley on account of his war
policy, nnd rovlewed tho Phlllppltio question
In nn Interesting and thorough manner,
linker tin I.oenl Ink lien.
(letting down to local Issues Judgo Haker
said: "Mr. Poppleton has much to say about
tho Inefficiency of tho Omaha flro depart
ment. In this connection I desire to call at
tontlon to tho fact that tho number of disas
trous flrei In this city is smull In compari
son with other cities, and tho record Is grow
ing better all tho while. If this Is caused by
our hack-number equipment, let us hava
some more of It, for It Is a good thing. Mr.
Poppleton Is full of discoveries. Discoveries
nro hound to bo experiments, therefore I say
beforo we tako a dose of an untried patent
medicine, let's wait until wo havo seen It
tried on tho other fellow.
"Just a word about concerted action. If I
go Into tho primaries and bent you I ex
pect you to get out and work for me. If you
go Into a primary and beat me I shall get
out and work for you without waiting for
you to ask me."
Judgo Ilaker talked at length. Ho was
loudly applauded.

TIiIn Monilnir.
Dr. Li. J. Abbott, lato Buperltitendeat of
tho Hospital for tho Insano at Lincoln and
ono of tho best known pioneers of this part
of Nebraska, died nt his residence In South
Omoha on Thursday. For a time. In tho
early days, he was a prominent farmer and
stock raiser In the western part of Douglas
county and afterward, for many years, was
a practicing physician at Fremont, from
which ho was appointed to tho superln
tendenty of tho hospital. From personal
participation few men, If any, had a wider
knowledgo or n moro accurate memory thnn
ho of the ovctits nnd Incidents of those early
times lu Nebraska, his reminiscences of
which wcro peculiarly interesting and val
uable. Dr. Abbott was a man of marked charac
teristics. His professional skill, his grasp
of practical affairs, his integrity of charac
ter nnd sturdy manhood secured him tho
respect of all, whllo his warm, genial and
sympathetic nature mado him hosts of
friends. Without being a seeker of place,
ho Inclined to take an nctlvo Interest In
party affairs and controversies, with decided
convictions upon political questions, but his
main lines of llfo were professional nnd his
devotion to his family absorbing.
About ten days ago he had n paralytlo
wtroke. As a physician, he know nt onco
and forecasted tho result. For the last
three days ho was unconscious. After n
lone, useful nnd honored lifts ho died In tho
peace and quiet of his honfc. His wife, four
sons and two daughters survive him, one of
tho sons being now In service In the Philip
pines. Tho funernl services will be held at St.
James' Uplscopnl church In Fremont at 10:30

The team of the University of Nebraska had

The Omaha players' victory was duo to

It le a matter of prldo with citizens of
Omaha that Us volunteer wcro sent to wnr
with tho assurance that their sacrillce was
appreciated at Its true worth by those at
home. Upon their discharge the volunteers
wero tendered u welcome worthy of return
ing heroes by the people of tho city. Soldlero
enroute, also, who tarried a few hours with
in our gates were given n tasto of western
ho.pltallty which they carried with them
beyond tho Pacific.
All of theso entertainments Involved an
Immense amount of labor which after tho
ttHual fashion rested on tho shoulders of the
few. Of tho competent few, all are willing
to testify that one man stood prominent In
thrso patriotic undertakings Mayor Frank
E. Moores. To him enmo tho society matron
for Information as to tho required number
of loaves nnd fishes, hhi advice was sought
by caipenteis building banquet tubles on
tho parade grounds, hU private resources
made good any lack In tho funds and In
phort the wholo matter was managed from
tho office of the chief executive.
Ono of tho most stirring scenes In the his
tory of tho city surrounded the departure of
tho two local companies for the front on
April 27, 1898. In accordnnco with n proc
lamation by Mayor Moores buslnesn houicn
wcro decorated with flags and bunting. Tho
public schools and city hall wero closed and
a largo sharo of the city's population fol
lowed tho vrfluntcors to the depot.
Farewell in Volunteers.
On tho ovenlng preceding their departuro
tho young ooldlcrs were tendered a recep
tion at the Commercial club. Under the
command of Cnptaln Mulford the Omaha 1
Uunrds first gathered at the armory of tho
Thurston Klflos. There wcro patriotic
speeches by n number of citizens and after '
receiving a decoration from the young wo
men friends of the Kllle both companies
marched to tho roonw of tho Commercial
club.
The speech of the evening was delivered
by Mayor Moores, who had himself left for
tho front thirty-seven years ago that very
day. The mayor spoke of both tho bright and
dark side of army life, assuring the vol
unteers that their friends would be loyal
and their positions open upon their return.
In a characteristic vein ho cheered them on
with amusing reminiscences nnd promises to
watch over their sweethearts during their
absenco In tho Mold of duty.
Tho most expensive and laborious under
taking was tho entertainment of the Second
Nebraska nn Its return from Chlckamauga.
Over 1,100 men, many sick nnd helpless,
reached Omaha In tho early morning after
a Journey of nearly three days. Vehicles
woro In waiting for those who could not
walk and tho regiment marched to Fort
Omaha, overy emaciated volunteer In the lot
faint wdth hunger. On tho clean grass of
the parade ground were spread n half-mile
of tabic", loaded with chickens, melons,
grape), Ico cream, cako and every dish, doll
cato and substantial, which tho market af
forded. It was a glorious feast and doubly
appreciated by tho twelve companies of vol
unteers aftor a prolonged monu of hard
tack and bacon.
l,nlior of I'reiinrliiK l''ennt,
Tho eluborato entertainment meant work
and expense for lt promoters and the mass
of detail was attended almost altogether
by tho chief executive of the city. Tbo
preliminary meeting was called by Mayor
Moores and tho services of well known
women were secured to spread tho tables and
attend the soldiers' wants. Tho mayor
wroto a largo number of personal letters
to varloun business houses, soliciting funds
or supplies, which boro Immediate fruit. Ho
gave generously of hlo own time nnd money
nnd there was plenty and to spare when the
soldiers reached tho city.
At the last moment It was discovered that
the regular army commissary department,
which had been relied upon to furnish table,
had nothing suitable on hand and every
available carpenter In the city was secured
by tho mayor and put is :vrrk. Tho emer
gency tables wero only completed on tho
morning of the troops' arrivnl, but looked
nono tho less attractlvo beneath snowy linen.
When the soldlero wero seated another cm
barrasslng discovery was made. There wero
no coffee urns. Attaches of the mayor's of
fice under bis directions made a half-mllo
dash to tbo nearest grocery store, where
sovernl wash boilers wero obtained nnd ex
cellent coffee was prepared In these rude
vcsspls nt tho mess kitchen. A hundred such
details wero attended to and the day was a
success.
Iletnrn of the I'lrnt,
Mayor Moores also took an active Interest
In tho return of tho First regiment, the
task being much less arduous, however,
owing to tho less number to be cared for.
The executive's principal servlco to Com
pany L was later In securing employment
for tho volunteers aftor their discharge. In
numerable letters wero sent from tho
mayor's offico to local business houses nnd
many calls were made upon heads of firms
lu behalf of soldiers. Many voluntoers
aro willing to testify that their present
positions nro duo largely to tho efforts of
tho mayor at that time.
When tho volunteers first landed at San
Francisco tho mayor called a meeting with
the Idea of providing for their maintenance
nt that city, and for their transportation
home. Over $10,000 was pledged, but owing
to n feeling throughout the state that tbo
movement was an advertisement for Omaha
the mayor subordinated his efforts to those
of tho governor.
When tho Now York volunteers passed
through the city tho saino cordial welcome
was given them nt tho depot ns that ex
tended troops from Nebraska. Under the
direction of the mayor a bountiful lunch of
sandwiches, coffee, cako nnd fruit was
distributed through tho trains. Tho dona
tions wero mostly secured by tho mayor
from department stores nnd hotels.
.flnyor'n llonornlile Servlee,
Mayor Moores' interest In tho welfare of
soldiers is easily accounted for by his own
experience In military life. Enlisting as a
prlvato in tho Klovonth Ohio beforo ho had
reached his majority, ho served four years
during the civil war and participated In
thirty engagements and skirmishes. At
Winchester ho took part In tho greatest
cavalry charge of tho civil war and was In
the thickest of tho fight until the surrender
of Vlcksburg. He was finally taken captlvo
nnd spent several months In Libby prison,
belug sent homo cn parolo In 186.1, The
records of the War department show that
ho served lu the Eleventh and Forty-fourth
Ohio Infantry and the Eighth Ohio cavalry,
ro-cullstlug on each occasion as tho terra of
bis service expired,

NO GOOD GROUNDS FOR HENNINGS ASSAULT

Attempt is made to make a mountain out
of a mole hill ocr tho combination between
tho supporters of Frank E. Moores nnd tho
I delegate from the Ninth uard which re
sulted In the nomination of Moores for
I mayor and Heunlugs for treasurer lu tho
city convention. It is doubtful It there was
,a convention, either national, state or mu
nicipal, held by nny party In which similar
combinations wcro not made. It Is always
regarded as legitimate politics and perfectly
fair for tho supporters of ono cundldnto In
a political convention to say to tho support
cm of somo other candidate "You give tw
your voles for our man nnd we will give
you so many votes for jur mnn." What
Is regarded as dishonorable is not to carry
out such an agreement after ono party to It
has lived up to It. Unless tho Moores dole-
I gates got into line for Hennings for treas
urer a candidate would have been nominated
from unother ward who had opposed Mr.
Moores and had refused to give him nny
support out of tho delegations which he con
trolled. Under surh clrcumstunces the
agreement waa certainly Justlllable. Like
other attacks made on he republican ticket
tho cry about it corrupt deal comes from
the mouth of tho common enemy, which has
to mako tho most of small matters nnd will
bo echoed only by republicans who arc seek
ing nn excuse for party disloyalty.
Tho native-born Omahan Is In evidence In
this campaign on both sides of the political
fence. On tho republican ticket W. 11.
Whltehorn nnd 1). H. Chrlstlo ar both
Omaha homo products.
"Fuslonlsts aro beginning to manifest
their fears," says a discerning republican,
"lest tho volleys leveled nt the head of tho
head of tho republican ticket by the Long
Tom planted on tho fusion kopje will simply
nvnll to druw tho lire of the enemy. Mud
slinging never yet won a campaign, ns it
usuully disgusts decent citizens who do not
believe In wholesale slander of any man sim
ply because ho seems to bo a formidable
candidate for office. Many a man has been
elected to ofllco by tho unconscionable as
saults of the mud machine wdio would other
wise havo been defeated. There is Just ouo
fault with the head of the republican ticket
that really weighs with tho mud machine,
nnd that Is that ho is n reoubllcan. All tho
pretexts urged for tho shameless and un
bridled assaults upon him are but used to
cover tho efforts of tho fuslonlsts to get con
trol of tbo city government becauso of tho
spoils It will afford tho party. Thoughtful
pcoplo will hardly fall to fathom the design
that underlies nnd prompts the desperate
mud bombardment."
John C. Drexel, running for tho council
from the First ward, Is circulating a card
labeled "Democratic nomlneo for councll-mun-ot-large."
Mr. Droxcl points with pride
to the fact that ho Is the only candidate en
titled to that distinction, nil tho others being
"fusion nomlnee,s" In fact ho Is the only
man who has run as a democrat for that office
In ten years.
E. J. Cornish, who was selected to be treas
urer of tho republican city committee, has
begged off, owing to press of other business,
and Charles S. Morgan of the Eighth ward
has been named to Bervo In that capacity.
Senator Thurston has given It out that he
Is for tho wholo republican ticket and If he
could remain In tho city longer would have
been glnd to appeur at somo of tho meetings
to speak In that strain.

An Interesting literary program was given
by tho Crclghton College Oratorical associa
tion last night In tho auditorium of tho
college. Tho principal event was the de
bate on tho justifiability of tho govern
ment's course In the Philippines, partici
pated in by Austin A. Hnyden and Edward
F. Leary for tho antl-expnnslonlsts and Guy
V. Furny and Michael J. O'Hcrn for tho
Imperialists. The question was discussed
so ably on both sides that C. J. Smyth,
Dr. A. M. Klley nnd C. F. Crowlay, acting
ns Judges, hud some difficulty In arriving
'at a decision. The questlou wns finally de
cided in favor of Haydtn and O'Hcrn, who
showed marked ability both In the nrgu
mcnt and Its presentation. Hayden has only
recently entered the college from St. Mnry's
collego In Kansas and his ability was n
surprlsa to tho local debaters.
The program was Introduced by a difficult
selection by the university orchestra, mado
up of fifty pieces. An Introductory nddrcss
wus delivered by Matthew P. Gleason, who
explained tho objects of tho association
and spoko of the timeliness of tho topic
chosen for discussion. He was follow od by
David A. Murphy, who gave a biographical
and character sketch of Oeorgo Washington.
An original poem on "A Nation's Reverie"
wns read by John A. Heunowltz and the
preliminary program concluded with tho
"Anvil Chorus'' by the college glee club.
The chorus was mado up of two classes In
olco culture, which have made notUe
nblo progress after a brief trnlni'ig.
