Propoio to Shapo Ftttion Nomination for

CONTEST BEGINNING TO WARM UP

I 111 t I f i'n li I r- Opposition In
lln Oilier rclliivt.
Although there Is decided multiplicity
or candidates to be chosen by the coming
democratic convention the paramount con
federation cutting a figure In the. primaries
li llio content over tlio comity attorneyship
nomination. In the skirmish atom; the
plckal lines In mo king up Hie rival dele
nations the lelslMlvo ticket nnd the ns
iilrntlnns of iho local candidate for the
United State sonaiorshlp appear to have
been harmonized, but the cxnteat over th
county attorneyship appears to have
reached n singe of acute bitterness
The light In this city Is outwardly be
tween George Shields, the Incumbent, and
James Kclkonny, whose respective friends
are talking menacingly of their undying
nnd onqttcnchahlo opposition to the other
candidate, but a third candidate In the
background U belni; groomed an a dark
horse.
It Is f'nrl r Wright, and, while ho Is
not without barkers In some of His Omaha
wards, his chief strength, ti Is reported,
comes from South Omaha, llelluble report
fcays that certain gambler In that place
who are deeply Interested In the personnel
nnd alleRlMice of the county attorney have
contributed a pot of $1 .BOO to be handled
by a prominent democratic county olllclal
to bring about his nomination. It Is u
notable fact that, while I hero are two dele,
gallons from each ward In South Omaha,
all of thorn are reputed to be for Carl
Wright for county attorney.
Coupled with the above report Is (mother
to tho effect that I. J. Dunn, one of the
present deputies of (Joorge Shields, Ih at
wotk with nil eye to tho main chance
There are three delegations put forward In
the Hlghth wntd. which Is the homo ward
of Mr. Dunn, for one of which ho Is
avowedly the sponsor. He has organized
It ostensibly as a Shli Ids delegation, but
ltMs so constructed that In case of sus
pected enierGency It can be swung to
Wright In the Interest of Dunn's contlnu
nncy as deputy county nttornc, which Is
mild to have been assured him for this
service. It Is Intimated that this delega
tion Is not for Shields al all, but Is simply
put up to prevent Kelknnny from getting
the strength of the ward. Democrats say
that there Is no chance of Shields being
renominated nnd the backers of Wright are
pulling to secure the balance of power In
the convovntlon, at the same tlmo urging
on tho light between Shields nnd Kelkenny.
To avoid unnecessary notoriety the silver
republicans met In caucuses In the various
wards Monday evening and selected lists of
delegates to a county convention to bo held
In South Omnha next Saturday as u side
show to the big democratic circus. This
wing of the fusion party has threo favored
legislative candidates. Frank Hansom Is Its
particular choice for tho atate senate, and
Wilson C. Turner, foreman for tho Hurkley
printing house, anil Harry H. Ilurnnm of
tho Sixth ward nro being mentioned for the
house. Some tlmo ago, when It was thought
that a position on the state electoral ticket
would bo sufllclcnt honor to satisfy Frank
Hansom, a caucus of silver republicans
selected Turner as a likely candidate for
tho houso and Hurnam as tho choice for the
senate. Later, however. Frank Hansom's
ambition to break Into the legislature again
cut Into this program somewhat nnd Uur
nnm tins since been spoken of an a candldntc
for the house, although It Is understood that
ho has not yet decided to acquiesce. An
other name mentioned among silver re
publicans for the place to which Hansom as
pires Is that of Sam Fnrnswnrth, tho Cum
ing street druggist, who threntens to give
Hansom a chaso for tho place.

"In his letter of acceptance Mr. Urynn

practice of tho pension depurinKiit." said
a rcshlent of Omaha connected with that
lepnrtnicnt yesterday. "He makes the
sti.timcnt in his reference to tho policy of
tho government on pensions that would
lead one to bollee that tho government
does not accept the certillcato of the aur
,iooii who examined tho volunteer at the
time of his enlistment as to the physical
condition of the soldier at that time and
thnt It requires a certillcato of a physician
who mnkes the examination now as io h.s
condition forty years ago.
"Nothing could bo further from the
truth. The certillcato of tho physician
who examined the nppllcant for a penslun
at tho time of his enlistment Is taken as
proof of his condition, nnd It is only whon
that certificate shows that the volunteer
was not physically sound that ho is called
upon to show that tho Injuries for which
ho asks a petition did not exist at the tlmo
of enlistment.
"The examinations made now arc for tho
purposo of ascertaining his present con
dition and If the certillcato of the nrmy
surgeon snows that ho was not perfectly
sound he Is given tin opportunity of over
turning that evidence by testimony to the
contrary."

l'nll Term Till Political Is-
mien Are Settled,
The judges of tho district bench held nn
executive session yesterday to dcternilno
upon tho opening of tho fall term of court.
After a discussion It was the unanimous
decision of tho jurists that tho Jury term
shall not begin until November 12. A
resolution to that effect was filed with tho
clerk of tho district court signed by Judges
H.ixter, Uaker, Fawcett, Hstcllo and Sla
baugh. Judges Keysor and Dickinson were
not present, but It Is understood that their
wishes accord with those of tholr col
leagues. The postponement Is also favored
by a largo proportion of tho bar, whose
opinion has been Invited.
On October 1 Judgo Dnxter will open
court In Washington county nnd will bo
hold nt Illalr for nt least thirty days. Tho
most Important caso on call there Is that
of Roland Hills, tho Episcopal clergyman
from an alleged aristocratic Ungllsh
family. Hills was followed from England
by a woman who claimed to bo his wife
and who caused tho clergyman considerable
annoyance In his prescut Inarrlngo rela
tions. Judgo Ilnxter believes that the
bigamy caso will cou3umo a week. Thero
are nlso n host of appeals from condemna
tion proceedings by parties owning land In
tho right of way of the Omaha Northern,
tho proposed routo between Omaha and
Sioux City. Theso cases may occupy sev
eral weeks.
Judgo Slnbaugh has probably two weeks',
work beforo him lu Sarpy county and will
open court In PaplUlon on October 1. Judgo
Kstcllc has adjourned tho Hurt county term
until November 12 nnd will be In Omaha
until that time.
Although there will bo no Jury cases
beforo the dnto agreed upon, tho equity
doikcts be called and tho court house
will tnko on an appearance of business
after October 1.

Is not ofllclnlly termed a pool and it will
undoubtedly be conducted In such a way as
lo avoid a violation of tho interstate com
merce law. Hut In practice It will amount
,o the Vnnderbllts getting over the New
York Central and West Shore roads nbout
55 per cent of nil tho lnke-and-rnll gralu
coming to Now York from Buffalo, whllo the
Krle will get 25 per cent to bo distributed
between the Lehigh Valley and tho Lacka

tho Lehigh Valley nnd 4 per cent for tho
Lackawanna. The two roads last named are
striving to secure a slightly larger per
centage of the business and It Is Just pos
sible, In view of tho fnct that the Vnndcr-
hilt ronds ore tho initiators of the new pool
that they will grant tho Lehigh Valley and
tho Lackawanna from their own sharo n
slightly better percentage. Heyond this all
details have been arranged.
Frank Harriot, until recently general
freight agent of tho Krlo road, has been
appointed maungor of the lnke-and-rnll

change these rates from time to time as the
exigencies of the situation may require, and
will, in fnct, have nutocratlo control of tho
railroad grain situation cast of Hurfalo.
Under the new arrangement rates will be
made by Mr. Harriot which will have to bo
lived up to, and tho managers of the various
road3 will report to Mr. Harriot all contracts
for grain shipments that they make. With
this Information nt his control, Mr. Harriot
will bo able to check up the business of tho

Am the grain shLpplng season Is now at

much Interest will be taken in Mr. Har

James P. Dawson, a thrifty Iowan from
Folsom, went nbout tho city yesterday
taking bids on mnrrlago ceremonies, Upon
inquiring of County Judgo Vlnsonhaler he
was informed that the statutory fee for
tho ceremony was $3. This sum, with the
price of tho license nnd revenue stamp,
brought Dawson's total expenditure to
$5.10. Dawson said It was too much nnd
that the service was not worth tho price,
it occupied, Dawson pointed out. scarcely
moro than two minutes. Judge Vlnsonhaler
was firm, however, and the Iowan started
out to securo bids.
Dawson returned after an Interval nnd
gave the county Judgo a Inst chance. He
said he had found n justlco of tho peace
willing to perform the ceremony for $1,
but ho preferred on tho sumo terms to be
mnrrlcd In the court house. Judge Vinson
hnler said that tho graceful manner In
which he congratulated tho groom nnd
wished Joy to tho brld" was worth $3 or
uothlug. The Iowan and his bride left In
disgust and were heard of no moro tint II
tho record of tho marriage arrived In the

According to tho Washington cor
Tespondont of tho Detroit Free Press,
political experts at tho national capital do
not look for n very largo lucreiibe In tho
popular vote this year over that of 1S9.
In that year tho total voto for presldunt
was 13,923,378, nn Increase of 1,871,027 over
the voto of 1S92 Thnt Increase was larger
than usual, nnd was attributed to tho ex
traordinary Interest In tho election nroused
In 1S00. No such Interest has ben
awakened this year. In fnct, Indifference
prevails, which Icadj the experts to figure
that the vote this year will not mntcrlally
exceed that of 18D0. The ground upon which
this assumption Ib based Is strikingly shown
by tho political condition of New York, lu
that state tho republican campaign was
formally opened last Friday night, five
weeks later than tho campaign of IS'J'i. Tho
democrats are still further behind the
record of lS'JG. "The apathy displayed now,"

The North Nebraskn conference of the
Methodist church assembled yesttrdny morn
ing at Norfolk. This conference Is composed
of four districts, those of Om.thn, Norfolk,
Grand Island nnd the nikhorn. Interest In
the conference centers In the fact that at
this meeting the bishop nutiounces the
assignment of ministers for tho Bi5ver.il
churches In the conference district nnd the
presiding elders for tho districts nre
chosen.
Rumor In Methodist circles has It that
tho only change lu presiding elders will be
In tho Grand Island district, where Rev.
D. K. Tyndull will retire, having held the
otllco to the tlmo limit established by tho
rules of tho church. It Is among the
probabilities that Mr. Tyndnll will bo as
signed to tho Scwnrd Street church of
Omnha, Rev. H. II. Millard of Trinity
church, taking his place ns presiding older
of the Ornnd Maud district. Another pos
slblllty Is that N. Dawson of the Walnut
Hill church will bo assigned to that posi
tion. If Mr. Tyndall Is not sent to Omnha
tho pastor of the Seward Street church will
probably bo Mr. Dawson.
Rev. M. W. Chase will probably be con
tinued ns pastor of tho First church,
Omnha, as tho board has requested no
change, and the church has made remark
able prosress under his pnstorate. Rev.
J. W. Jennings, the presiding elder of the
Omnha district, will remain In his present
position. Coming In Immediately after the
Into Hr. :r1ix(leld, whose nee nnd In
firmities precluded him from active work
lu tho position, Mr. Jennings has mndo a
splendid rccotd In this district, six churches
having paid off their entire debt under his
supervision and tho growth and financial
condition of tho district being In u healthy
condition.
Tho South Tenth street church has asked
to havo Rev. 1). W. McGregor assigned ns
Its pastor, but It may be that hu will prefer
to remain ns conferenco evnngcllst, which
position ho has held for some time.
Another possibility Is that Hov. T. C.
Webster of Central City, formerly of
Omaha, will become presiding elder of tho
Grand Island district nnd In that con
tingency Rev. Mr. Hallow, recently of La
Junta, Colo., who exchanged plnccs with
Rev. Mr. Welch of tho Scwnrd Street
church, will be assigned to Central City.

Philadelphia Ledger (Ind.), "compared with
the excitement of four years ago, Is very
marked, Indeed. As early as August 12, lu
1890, Brynn had held that remarkable meet
ing In Madison Squaro garden which has
becomo historic. Ho followed this by n
stumping tour through the state. On August
IS another great meeting was held In
Madison Squaro garden, at which Uourko
Cockran made nn eloquent reply to Bryan's
speech nf tho preceding week. This year
Mr. Cockran Is supporting llryan. On
August 27 cx-Presldent Harrison mado ono
of tho best speeches of his Ilfo at a. big
meeting in Carncglo hall. General Harrison
has not been heurd from In this campaign
and no ono seems to know whether he will
be. September 4 was Flag day lu 1890
Then thousands of flags wero displayed on
Broadway and throughout tho city lu honor
ot McKlnloy. During the rest of tho cam
paign tho streets of New York wero crowded
with McKlnloy banners nnd fings. Hut this
year very few banners hnvo thus far been
put out nnd there Is fully as many of Hryan
as of McKlnloy. Hut from this tlmo
on It may ho expected that tho campaign
will grow in Interest and heat. Four years
ago tho enthusiasm was all on ono sldo In
Now York, but this year both sides promise
to put forth their best endeavors."
Meanwhile betting In New Yotk continues
nt odds of 2'i to 1 and 3 to 1 on McKlnloy.
Several largo bets nt theso figures wero
made on Wall street this week. L. W.
Wormser, who has bet .heavily on McKlnley
'at 2 to 1, Is said to have still a large
sum to bet at tho same odds. The report
that Crokcr has again bet $20,000 against
$f,0,0oo that Brynn would be elected Is gen
erally credited, though not confirmed. It
Is known that Croker has a hlncoro faith
that Hryan will win, nnd It is alleged that
ho and his sporting friends havo n scheme
by which they can help Bryan's cause by
betting on him and without much, It any,
peril to themselves, By taking advantage
of the present odds and then forcing the
hotting to an run basis they lould put

Omaha's streets will be put In first-class
condition for carnival week and will be
cleaned during the remainder of tho year.
At a special meeting held yesterday tho
council voted unanimously to continue
street cleaning. In spite ot tho fact that tho
fund has been exhausted, and Instructed tho
Hoard of Public Works to resume work nt
once. Funds will bo provided for by Issu
ing interest-bearing certificates of Indebted
ness under tho emergency ciausc ot the
charter.
All certificates for emergency work must
he certified to by tho city engineer. Tho
charier provides that such work must bo
made necessniy by some unforeteen net of
piovidcnce. Although City Knglncer Rose
water Is somewhat In doubt ns to whether
dirty streets can be said to be an unfore
seen net of providence ho explained to the
council that ho thought the emergency
clnuse can bo construed to cover tho case
nnd expressed a willingness to comply with
the public's request for clean stteets. The
estimated cost for keeping the streets clean
during the remainder nf the year Is $5,000,
but the city engineer says thnt a much
smaller sum m..y bo sutllclcnt In caso winter
begins enrly.
Policemen will bo bucked up by a strong
ordlnnnco when they attempt to regulate
the crowds during carnival week. An ordl
nnnco was passed by the council which pro
vides speclllcully for tho punishment of
persons who tluow flour, chnrconl, rubber
balls, or nny other substnnce. either on the
public streets or on tho carnlvnl grounds,
Changes wero made in tho ordlnnnco so
thnt It will not prohibit the throwing of
confetti. In Its nrlginnl form It nlso for
bade the tooting of horns, but tho council
men decided thnt this section was un
necessary nnd struck It out.
The plumbing ordinance, which has been
In preparation for many months, was flnnlly
passed. It places many restrictions upon
plumbers nnd mnkes It possible to Inflict
severo punishment upon men who put In
dcfectlvo work.
Tho council npproved the nppolntment of
