MORE DEMOCRATIC HARMONY 1
Deposed County Committee Reorganises and
Calls a Convention.
CHARLEY FANNING IS MADE CHAIRMAN
Jlotihle. ll-nilrra All Umm the ,,.

nt Present.
Not satisfied with hating a double
headed delegation to the state eonven.lsn
the democrat of Dougl.vi county W a no'
two fully instituted county central com
mute. Thirty-six numbers of the old
committee mot yetterday and enured up a
vigorous protest against th recent re
organlwttlon of the committee at the county
convention. The old committee comprised
Hxty members, there being enly one a
lar.cy In a possible sixty-one.
There wac no one In the chair when the
assembly enrne to ordir In the Board it
Trado rooms at : p. rn. jeeterday, but
Secretary Guneolus, who was not runulted
when the recent county convention was
railed, was present.
Joe Dutler moved that In the absence
of I. J. Dunn, the former chairman, who
vas supplanted at his request at the county
convention by B. B. Howell. Charles E
Tanning as chairman of the executive com
mittee pretlde. In putt.ng the mot'on Sec
retary Ounsolus modified It somewhit, stat
ing It to bo that "Chairman Dunn, having
resigned. It Is moved that Charles B. Kan
ning officiate, as chairman." This motion
prevailed.
In taking bis seat Mr. Fanning said that
the purpose of the meeting was well known
and that Chairman Dunn, having avowdl..
entered into a conspiracy to turn the couut)
committee over to unauthorized persons, H
was for those present to say whether ot
not they proposed to submit. He announced
that tho call for ho meeting declared Its
purpose to be the calling of primaries and
convention for the election of new execu
tive officers for the committee, the nomina
tion of county and legislative tickets and
tho selection of dates for primaries and
convention.
Ilccoril I'liMir rnnnliiK.
Secretary (Jur.solus read the minutes of
the last meeting, showing thit Panning
presided. This wag the meeting at which
a delegation to the state convention was
chosen.
Joe Uutler moved that the meeting cen
sure Chairman Dunn for his absence
Itarry Miller objected, saying that while
he was In hearty sympathy with the spirit
of tho motion, Dunn was no longer a mem
ber of the committee. V. C. Caldwell
thought it would be better to "pass 'em up"
without any further recognition and. at the
suggestion of Walter Molsc. nutler with
drew his motion.
Harry Miller called attention to the fact
that when tho committee went Into power
the court house was filled with republican!,
but it had succeeded in electing a majority
of the county board and had wresteJ from
the republicans the offices ot sheriff, clerk
of the district court, treasurer and other
ofUces. He thought the committee worthy
of compliment rather than to be kicked out
in the mean, underhanded, unmanly, un
fair and undemocratic method by which
ertaln persons were seeking to secure
control of tho party machinery In the
county. Ho catled nttcntlon to the fac
that two years ago 1.. J. Piattl and Cbarle
L, Smith had bolted the party nominee for
congress, but since that time the Jack
snnlan club hud entered into a conspiracy
whereby It, had disgraced Itself by honoring
"this traitor, Piattl." with tho election ns
a delegate to the national convention and
Is now about to further disgrace itself by
making Smith a member of the state com
mittee. For himself, he attested by the
gods that ho did not propose to stand it
nnd ho called upon tho members present
to stay with him In fighting this "mob that
seeks: by trickery to rule the democracy
whenever It pleases them to do to." He
moved that the committee proceed to Issue
n call for primaries and convention, as con
templated In the call for the meeting.
Convention Culled for otith Omnliii,
V. C. Caldwell moved as an amendment
that the convention be held In a "demo
cratic city," and asked that It bo located
In Woodman hall at South Omaha, "where
no gang of booJUrs and Ignorant aspirants
for power cau control Its deliberations. '
The motion as amended prevailed.
September 15 was selected as the date
of the convention and September 13 as that
of the primaries. Tho executive committee
was authorized to change the date-s It
deemed advisable, but not the place.
On motion of Hnrrj Miller the roll of
commtttemcn was called and each one pres
ent was Invited to express his approval or
disapproval of the action taken The roll

The executive committee was authorized
to change the location it found advisable,
to name the Judges and clerks nnd fix their
compenratlon and to have the registration
lists copied. J. S. Nrsblt was appointed
to fill a vacancy In Waterloo. Votes of
thanks were extended to Secretary Oun
colus and the executive committee.
Joo nutler cnlled attention to the fact
that at the recent county convention It was
stated that the action taken In the roattcr
of the reorganization of the committee was
In compliance with a letter of Instructions
from P. L. Hall, chairman of the state
committee, and moved that tho latter be
censured for that letter, but Charley Fan
ning staved off this action by saying that
Chairman Hall sent a meseenger out to his
house a few evenings since to say that
"he was with us In this matter and had no
desire to sec us legislated out ot ol7.ee."
The adherents of the new county com
mittee are now figuring as to whether they
ought to go Into tho primaries called by
the old committee and try and beat their
opponents out. or go ahead and Ignore this
call entirely.
DONNED THEIR WAR PAINT

Merry Wnr In Stnte Con
vention, "Of course we are going to the t'ate con
vention at Lincoln." remarked Harry C. Mil
ler of the Molse-MIIler-Fanning faction of
the dcmociacy yesterday. "I dan't know how
many of us will 20 down, but we will have
a considerable showing nnd those of our
delegates present, with the proxies, will, If
admitted, cast the entire vote of the dele
gation. We are particularly bent on just
one flght. We arc going to fight the selec
tion ot C. L. Smith. R. E. Lee Hcrdman nnd
J J. O'Connor for members of the state com
mittee. We are opposed to Smith because
he bolted the democratic nominee for con
grcts two years ago. Our objections to
O'Connor are not personal, but he has been
In long enough. He has been a member of
the committee for eight years. As to Herd
man, It was officially stated here among
democrats when be secured bis appointment
to the clerkship of the supreme court that
he promised both Justices Holcomb and Sul
livan that bis appointment would take him
out of local politics. Of course we do not
wish to denyhlm the right to participate In
the affairs of his party, but he Is under
promise to retire from active participation
In the local affairs of Douglas county.

"We are perfectly willing that any other
two democrats may be selected as represen'
atives of the Jncktonl.in club and County
Democracy, but the democrats of the county
who do not belong to either are entitled to
some consideration and wo are going to In
sist that they be allowed to name the third
man. We will not object to the appoint
ment of Ed P. Smith, J. P. English. John
Murphy, John Llddcll. C. C. Wright or any
other reputable democrats for two of the
places, but Charley Smith. Lee Hcrdman
and O'Connor do not go with us. and
one of the three places niut go
to the great majority of the democracy
which is not allied with either club. We are

ready to abide by the action of the state con
vention and there will be no bolt.
No. we are particularly opp'ited to a com
promise that will allow each delegatloa half
1 ote We arc either right or wrong anl
(he same can be said of the opposing delega
tion If we are right we will ask to be
seated and If we are wrong the convention
ought to say no. One delegation Is right and
the other wrong.
"The action of the state convention will in
no way interfere with our proposed county
convention and the organltatlon ot our
county committee. We hold that the state
convention has nothing to do with the In
ternal affairs of the county and we claim
that we are the authorized county committee
and that there was no authority or precedent
for the establishment ot a new commlttcee."
Both of the delegations will go down to
Lincoln this evening. The newly ap
pointed delegation had thought ot taking
down a bl? crowd from tho two clut dis
tinctly representative of the two organiza
tions, but so soon after the Kansas City
convention most of thce who might be ex
pected to go find themselves unable to spare
tlrc time or raise the cash, and It Is probable
that tilers will be no concerted movement
of democrats Uncolnward. U Is probable
that many of the delegntcs will not even
go to Lincoln In. time for the ratification
meeting this evening.
Irp All for I'oj liter.
Each of tho rival delegations claim to be
for Poynter for governor. It Is known,
however, that the delegation chosen at the
recebt county convention Is decidedly luke
rarm In Its advocacy of Poynter, that It
ntppcrts blm elmply because no material
oppisltlon has crystallied and that that
most of Its mcmbors would readily go to
any man who might be presented for the
nomination with any assured elements of
strength. Inside the lrlegatlon It Is ad
mlttcdly (he conviction that Poynter Is woe
fully weak and that his nomination will
threaten the entire state ticket. On the
other hand, the delegation originally ap
pointed by the county committee, headed
by the Molse-Mlller-Kannlng leaders. Is
solidly for Poynter. It Is believed that the
convention delegation will enjoy the favor
of the party machinery, which entertains
the suspicion that Pointer's nomination will
be disastrous.
John 0. Yelscr hag relinquished his In
tcntion of taking his own delegation to the
populist convention, but will entrust his
ambitions for executive nomination honors
to the delegation later selected by the pop
ulist county convention.

AT THE COURT OF AK-SAR BEN
Another Cnruvnn of 1 1 tin ml cm Uncle
Welcome hy the Crnnd Mufti
I.imt NIkM.
To a score of travel-stained and foot-sore
novices who last night traversed the steppes
of the desert of Hindoitan ffllmn.n nf tv,
splendors of the court of the grand mufti
01 me rcaim ot Ak-sar-Ben was a delight
ful and refreshlnz mwlstl.tn u'nui
question the throne of the monarch le much
mure imposing ana neautlful than ever be
fore, and the mysteries are not only more
Impressive, but of a more varied and exclt
log nature. The somewhat superficial study
of occultisms as exemplified by the great
mahatma which the novice is permitted to
make in his progress through the realm
certainly leaves Impressions that will not
soon be forgotten. One can hardly soon for
get the delightful flights through space,
the peregrinations along the flowery paths
and the gambols amidst the fragrance of the
baths. The matin of the Jungles and the
clanging of the veeper bells revive one s
m-morles of old tales of Oriental travel ami
adventure.
Following the events of last evening, F.
W. Kellogg and Captain II. E. Palmer spoke
for the good of the order, expressive of their
appreciation of the feast of mysticism and
commending the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben to
every progressive cltiien as a source not
only of great benefit to the city, but of indi
vidual enjoyment. John Jacobs. Jr.. son of
a former well known Omaha undertaker, re
cited an amusing dialect poem, and W. R.
Bennett read a letter from J. H. McDonald,
written aboard the Bteamer Campania In
mid-ocean enroute to the Parts exposition
It was a characteristic production, from
which the author of Blllle Baxter's letters
could get some valuable pointer?.

One of the most Interesting and at the
same time striking features of The Bee'o
annual vacation (tmtest appears In the
great contrast between the records of the
leaders respectively of the Omaha and
North Nebraska lists. While in the latter
the scores are rapidly augmenting, al
ready reaching over 27,000, the Omaha
leaders seem scarcely to have moved since
the award of tho last rl:ig, more than u
week ago. and the only conclusion to be
reached is that their votes are all hidden
In their sleeves to be dumped at the last
moment. The same peculiarity will he
observed In the record of Mips D WItt.
whose score seems scarcely changed slnca
winning the last ring, while five other con
testants have passed ahead of her.
A long flight has lodged Miss Mobl
once more on the throne In North Ne
braska, with a score heading for 30.0CO.
In Omaha few changes in rank have oc
curred, except the usual switching of the
tlme-abouts, Misses Kern and Albce, to
whom the practice has no doubt been so
habitual they arc not to be held respon
sible for It.
In Council Bluffs another prize Is to be
awarded Saturday evening a pair of patent
leather shoes, given by Hamilton's shoe
store to the Council Bluffs lady receiving
the largest number of votes during the
five Intervening days.

The '-ommlttce meeting of the rity coun

to a discussion of the communication from
City Treasurer Hennlngs In which he asked
authority to hire legat talent to assist him
In the collection of taxes levied for special
Improvement!.
City Attorney Connell wan present and
at the Invitation ot the members ot the
council gave his opinion concerning the col
leclon ot such taxes. He stated that Mr
Hennlngs might bo able to get legal talent
that could collect these taxes nnd derive
more frcra them than can be had by the
present plan of allowing them to stand
until the owner deslrw to transfer the prop
erty and la compelled to pay all taxes to
clear the title. In the opinion ot Mr. Con
nell, however, the carrying of these taxe
Into court would be unwise. In that the pe
titions for the special Improvements may
In many iases prove Insufficient and the
city's claim declared Invalid.
In the case of real estate upon which

Mr. Council stated that the companies al

have been lost If the cases had been car
ried Into the courts.
Tho committee discussed the situation
thoroughly nnd finally derided to lay the
matter over for a week. It was suggested
that revcral nttornc)s appear before tho
council and give their opinions as to tho
best means of collecting these taxes and the
proper fees tor such work.

An Italian banana vendor named Michael
Maniacola, arrested on an castbound Bur
lington train Sunday, broke down In the
sweatbox Sunday night and told a remark
able story of murder and robbery, admitting
himself guilty of the latter crime and ac
cusing a brothcr-ln-law named Anton Mar
tinez of the former. The arrest was made In
response to a telegram received from the
authorities at Trinidad, Colo., where the
crimes were committed.
Maniacola, who speaks very little English,
pretended at first not to know what he was
wanted for. W .en an officer at the station
began to search him he bcame greatly ex
cited and repeated again and again that be
had no money, but the officer's search was
thorough and rei-ulted In the "discovery of a
canvas belt about the prisoner's waist under
his clothing In which was concealed $662 In
gold and bills.
Confession of Miinliicoln.
An hour later Maniacola was taken to the
captain's office to undergo, by the aid of nn
Interpreter, the sweatbox ordeal. He admit
ted he was from Trinidad and that he had
been bound for New York. His railroad
ticket was evidence ot this much. He ac
counted for the money by saying that It was
the savings of several years' work ns a fruit
peddler. He did not know what the Trini
dad authorities wanted him for and pre
tended to believe that the city detectives
had arrested the wrong man.
Under a rigid cross-fire of questions, how
ever, he finally became less positive In bis
answer. Then. It being made clear to blm
that he had contradicted himself several
times he suddenly broke down and b?gged
for mercy. He was told that anything he
might say would not be used against him la
the trial and. thus reassured, be told what
appeared to be a true story.
Three months ago. be said, a wealth
Italian named Maretz Moroso was murdered
In Trinidad and almost Immediately after
ward his (Manlacola's) brother-in-law,
Martinez, was arrested, charged with the
crime. Maniacola was also arrested and
locked up a a witness, but later was made
a jail "trusty."
"TriiMj" Betrnys f iinhileiiee.
Three days ago he took advantage of hit
privilege as "trusty," stole away from the
jail, went to the place where the murdered
man's money was concealed, secured It and
made hasty preparations for a return to his
old homo in Italy.
Manlacola's brothcr-ln-law is still in jail
In Trinidad awaiting trill for murder
Maniacola Is wanted on a charge of rob
bery. He has consented to return without
requisition papers and an officer will be
sent for him a; once.
The arrest wis made by City Detectives
Heelan and Johnson, and for this $50 re
ward awaits th?m. The amount stolen Is
.said to hive been $700.

Tonight at the hall ot the Young Men's
Christian association Miss Jean Howison ot
Perth. Scotland, will give a lecture-recital
from Robert Burns. This is from the New
York Times.
It Is neither a lecture nor an evening of
recitations with which Miss Howison enter
tains her nudlenre. but an Indescribably de
lightful blending of the two. Miss Howison
Is a cultured and educated woman, who un
derstands whatever she undertakes. She
has a good stage presence, a pleasing voice,
rich and flexible and at nil times smooth,
and an accent Just Set tch enough to bring
out the true teautlcs. of Burns' poems. She
loves Burns and she hns studied blm so
carefully, In all phaees and under nil con
ditions, that she can treat him as a friend.
When you hear her talk of hint you quite
forget that he had passed nway long before
you or your Immediate ancestors came on
this earth, and you see him In a new light.
It requires infinite tact to lecture acceptably
on Burns. Yes. more than tact ; It de
mands genius His brilliant life, brief
though It was, Is rich In lecture material,
nnd as a result It has become a hackneyed
subject and one frequently maltreated. After
Miss Howison has finished speaking of him.
all previous lectures, unless they are very
superior, will fade from memory. Through
out her talk she kept ever to the front his
love of freedom and humanity. Her recita
tions were nptly Interspersed and given with
rare sympathy and expression. Her rendi
tion of "A Man's n Mnn for a' That" was
delightful, while "The Cottar's Saturday
Night." "To Mary in Heaven," and n part
of "Tarn O'Shanttr" were all given with a
delicacy of shading and nn undemanding
which gave them new significance to many
of her listeners.
