TBTE OMAHA DA11T BEEf THtTtTSt)AYr SEPTEMBER "12, 1901. ( HOWELL MAY CEASE TO BOSS Wirti An Laid U Dtiptu Ohiirmtt tf Democratic Oanaitte. i ANTI-JACKSONIANS PLAY SHREWD GAME Cnmpionilif for Foothold In Clt rniil Itelr'on Cnnntrr Precinct and Sonlh Omnli a Allies tn Control Contention, If tho Qcrman-Amcrlcan Democratic club ot South Omaha in (ikes good Its promlae at tho democratic primaries today, the Douglas county domocracy, with tho as latance ot the packing town organization, will take chnrgo of the machinery of tho party on and after next Saturday, and Kd Howell, who has fondly embraced the tltlo of czar for some time, will become what In bao bftll parlance Is known as a. "has been." Unless tho combination that has hern arranged between tho Douglas county and tho Oerraan-Amorlcan organizations Is broken, there will bo -a new county com mltteo named at the democratic conven tion on Saturday, although tho call docs not provldo specifically for such action. Tho call says tho convention Is "to select two committeemen for each of tho now wards of South Omaha, to nil any vacancies that may exist on the South Omaha com mltteo from tho two now country precincts and for tho transaction of such other altd furthor business as may properly come bo fore, tho convention," It Is under the head of "other and further business" that tho naming of an cntlro new county committee may be called for. 1 1 y making shrewd compromises In a number of tho Omaha wards and by put ting up a contest In the Klghth, tho Douglas county democracy expects to give tho Jack sonlans a lesson in politics that they will not soon forgot'. Ily the compromises the Douglas countyltrs haVo managed to get twenty-eight of their men on uncontested delegations, and If they win In tho Klghth thoy will have eleven more, making their representation from the city wards thirty nine. Then'ln order to take control ot tho convention .thoy will havo, to sccuro hut fifty-eight of tho ninety-four delegates from tho county nud South Omaha. If tho Oorman-Amorlcan club makes good Its boast of ability to carry South Omaha and tho country precincts glvo only ono half of their delegates to tho Douglas countyltcs, tho latter will easily mako up n majority In the convention. Tho Teu tonic organization In the city to tho south has put up a delegation In every ward, which Is pledged to opposo fusion and to support Dick O'Kcefo for county commis sioner. Tho club nlono claims to bo ablo to rally 600 voters to tho support of Its ticket todny, nnd this strength, together with tho personal following of Dick O'Kcefo nn'i tho Individual members of the dele gations, portends victory for tho ticket. Tho Douglas countyltes have been work ing quietly and effectively In tho country proclncts for somo months, and thoy ex pect to have tho country delegates almost Holldlv so thtilr majority In the convention will not be impaired by tho loss of a part or nil ot South Omaha. MAY BE ANOTHER BEAUMONT Kzpert GeoloRlat Itellrves He linn Discovered SIriis nf Oil on Clinton nrluKs' Knrni. , A 'geologist, for1 mnny years oraployed-or tho Standard Oil company as on expert, thinks ho has detested tho presonco of oil In paying quantities on the farm of Clinton II. Ilrlggs', seven miles west of tho city on 'thn Dodgo street road. Kor tho last threo weeks ho has been prospecting up nnd down the raplo nnd has found indications which In his opinion promise an abundant yield. The "symptoms" extend through ono corner of t'hb flrlggs farm nnd Into tho land of two abutting property ownem. Ono of those has thl3 to say of tho pro ect: "For 'my part I don't know whothcr there Is oil tn my land or not, but this ex port says there Is, so I nm willing to mnke any reasonable concession to havo tho re source developed. He wants ma to sign a thirty-year lease, granting his backors full control 'of tho oll-bearlng portion of my place during that tlmo, nnd I understand ho has mado a similar proposition to my neighbors. I now havo tho matter under consideration. "He soems to want to keep secret the Identity of his .backers until tho papers aro drawn up. I nm satisfied, however, that his backers aro men ot means, nnd he has shown mc letters nnd other evidences that there la ample capital behind him. There Is nlso nbundnnt testimony as to his skill as a geologist so far as geology Is useful In locating nnd developing oil fields. Ho assures mc thnt tf I will closo the deal with htm men and machinery for sinking tho first shaft will bo on the grounds In side of thirty days. "Tho report that the wolls sunk out In this neighborhood several years ngo by Herman Kountze. Dr. Ocorgo L. Miller and others were for oil Is a mistake, as water or coal wero tho objcctlvo points with them. Neither Is It true that theso wells aro near the spot where tho present pro jector proposes to sink his shaft, so the fact that these previous borings did not rleld oil does not In any way prejudice this low enterprise. "For several years I hava'been satisfied that there was nt least 'a traco of oil In 6000 YearslOld If we live In deeds, LAyer's Cherry Pectoral must be 6000 years old! For sixty years it has been curing all kinds of throat and lung troubles from a slight tickling in the throat to the most desperate diseases of the lungs. This is the way your doctor orders it: f. On, bottle of Aycr's Cherry Pectoral. Sia. Carefully follou directions on bottle. Ask him how many patients he has cured with this prescription. " I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral extensively in mv nracti,,. t j It tho bestofall remedies or colds, coughs, and broncos whetW L'TtA chronic." 1. f!. Pnum.u t n o..v.Jt x.i" u,unc'"s. whether acute or TO I. .1 this country out here, but' It never occurred to me to treat the matter seriously. I have noticed that when water for the cattlo Is pumped Into the tank and permitted to stand a few hours a kind of purplish oily sheen rises to the surface." LIKELY TO BREAK THE ANVIL Some Itntnmcr Are In .crl of n l.njfr or Tito of Velvet. "Tho Ileal Kstate exchange Is tired of 'knockers,' " said President Green In clos ing tho session of that body today. "In the spsechca delivered before the club and In many of tho remarks of the members we hnvc had too much of the pessimistic spirit, and 1 servo notice right now that when any body Is Invited to address this club ho will be expected to tell us what In his opinion we should do to mako tho town better rather than to give us his Idea of the evils thnt exist. Omaha Is doing very well, and wo havo no tlmo to listen to disgruntled persons. Wo can make tho town bettor In every way and wo expect to do it, but wo nro going to quit holding meetings to dis cuss our woes, real nnd Imaginary. If peo ple cannot look on the bright sldo of things th,ny at lenst can keep their mouths shut nnd let the people who hco bright things ahead do tho talking." Tnxes Are Dlsrtinncil. The meeting nf the Ileal Kstate exchange dovoted much of the time to the subject of taxation. Tho first speaker was W. I,. Selby, who declared that there should be n general reduction in tho taxes upon real estate. Later In the course of tho meet ing ho snlil that he though tho reduction In the taxes on renl ostatn could Iiq mnde without Increasing tho rnte by Increasing tho valuation on personal property to a slight extent. In this connection V.r H. Gates said that In tooklng tip his personal tax receipts he found thnt tho taxes he paid on his household property would not bo onough to buy tho books of his children In school if tho free book system was abolished and therefore he felt thnt ho could pay moro personal taxes without suffering Injustice, while ho believed tho taxes on real estnto wero too high. "At tho same time," said ho, "you must not expect to pay less taxes for somo tlmo as there Is so much money to bo paid out nnd that much must be taken In. In discussing tho matter A. P. Tukov said in effect: "Omaha pays no moro tnxes than the nverago city of lta size. I sco no prospect for lower tnxes In tho next ten years at least. The amount of tho taxes raised docs not depend upon tho city council, but upon tho necessities of tho town. Nino-tenths of tho taxes raised to dny aro expended In fixed charges which havo been mado In times past. Wo nre in tho fix now and must get out tho best way wo con. Our only relief Is In equaliza tion of tho existing assessment. It Is gen erally understood that personal proporty Is tnxed at 33 1-3 per cent of its renl value, although I doubt If this Is so In tho caso of largo holders of personal property, but tho tax commissioner nnd all others admit that real estate Is tnxed nt 50 per cent of Its nctunl valuo nt least. Tho tax commissioner, I understand, Is working In tho direction of bringing theso bases closer together nnd wo may get some relief. Thero Is ono thing sure. I don't wnnt to hear any moro speeches tolling us that our taxes nro too high. It Is not right to condemn the council for voting for a certain number of mills levy, for It Is their Bworn duty to rnlse sufficient monev to pay tho expenses of maintaining tho city government and paying the fixed chnrges." John S. Knox said that slnco he began to study tho question of taxation he found that it Is many sided. "I favor." said he. "tho plan of assessing property at lta actual valuo and making n low levy. Then If a man Is assessed too high ho enn 'cAtrio In and provo It. Now he can only argue on comparative basis nnd If his neighbor Is not too low he can get no relief." HiiBRPHt n Compromise. C. F. Hnrrlson cnlled attention to a phase of tho question which ho thought had not received sufficient attention. "There aro, said he, "In mnny of tho outlying additions lnrge rnrcels of ground and lots which havo been nssesscd for more than they aro worth. Tho owners rcfuso to pay tho taxes nnd tho city cannot enforco collection because tho propcrt would not pay the cost of tho no tion, ThTc should be somo wny devised whereby these tnxes could bo compromised nn an equitable basis and tho property then assessed nt n fair valuntion and begin to produce revenue to tho city. Glvo tho own ers n new start nnd there will be much moro money collected from this source." K. A. Densnn nlso spoko on this phase of tho subject, mentioning one piece of ground which was sold for $1,400 nnd assessed at $3,000, tho nssessor claiming thnt tho pur chase price had nothing to do In making tho assessed valuation. At tho closo of tho discussion a committee consisting of W. L. Selby, John S. Knox nnd A. P. Tukey was appointed tn confer with the tax commissioner on tho subject and to roport at tholr convenience. Tho subject of "Manufactures" was as signed for tho next meeting, tho principal talk to be made by H. T. Clarke. A uow rulo was adopted whereby the sub ject for each meeting Is to be aiuiounced at tho preceding ono and the speakers held strictly to tho discussion of the subject In band. " HYMENIAL.

MILITARY ASPECT OF CAMP OMAHA Fourteen Hundred Men Xotr on the Orounds nnil .More Coming Has lltnl Corps Formed nnd Tnr Itet Prnetlce K.tnbll.hnl. For the first time since Camp Omaha was rormcd the two regiments of Infantry were brought out on dress parade yesterday afternoon nt 6 o'clock. Twenty-three com panies reported for the duty, tho new com pany from Tekamah not being equipped for thn parade, being without guns. Adjutant General Colby said that by this evening the company would be supplied with arms nnd would probably havo the tents which wero shipped from North Platte, where old Com pany E of tho Second regiment was dls banded a few days ago, Just beforo tho Tekamah company mustered Into tho serv ice. On the first dress parade tho troops made a good showing, the companies being par Ocularly well drilled In company move ments, All officers wero present, General Colby being mounted. Thore was one bad feature nnd this will probably be changed today. The dress parade Is too late In the day for this season. Hcforo the evolutions wero finished It became so dark that of ficers at the regulation distance could not seo the movements of the troops In tho manual of arms. General Harry announced that ho would change tho program to bring tho flrst call for dress pnrado so tfint tho assembly would sound nt 5:30 o clock prob nbly and certnlnly not Inter than f? o'clock llrlmnrte Ilevletv Toilii)'.

A mess for tho general, brigade nnd regl mentnl officers has been established, In charge of Chaplain E. F. Trefz, where meals nro served for these officers and their guests. The rooms In tho second story of tho administration building are used for this mess. Line officers generally mess with their companies, but somo of the com pany commanders and their lieutenants have formed private messes whero viands more suited to their tastes than tho com mlssnry stores nro served.

TOLD TO HUSTLE FOR HIMSELF Wnlter Wliltlnrr Kinds It Too Hard Work nnd ftvrnllovira Turpentine. Walter Whitlow, colored, 20 years of age, rooming In a house at Thirteenth and Davenport streets, made an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide at 7:30 o'clock last night. Whitlow went to a drug store In tho neighborhood nnd bought a half pint of tur pentine nnd n half pint of witchhazel. Going out of tho store he drank the con tents of both bottles. Officer Baldwin was Informed of what Whitlow had done and immediately gathered him up and took htm to the station, whero Police Surgeon Francis L. Horglum did the rest. After getting over the effects of the con coction Whitlow said he lived near Florence with his parents nnd for tho past few months had been unable to obtain work. Yesterday morning his father sent him out to hustle for himself "and not to bring my clothes there no more. That dono broke my heart," continued Whitlow, "nnd I wanted to die.' Ho was locked up In the city Jail to think It over. BECAUSE SON STOPS WRITING Mrs. Jennie Phillip Tnke I'nlion nnil for the Third Time Asnln In Viiln. Mrs. Jennie Phillips took IB cents worth of morphine and 10 centB worth of cocaine with suicidal Intent, but Is still living and putting In her spare tlmo abusing Police Surgeon Francis L. Horglum for pumping tho poison out of her. Mrs. rhlUltis went tntn thn r.lv Mtlr on North Tonth street about 0 o'clock last nignt. in a few minutes she fell from tho seat to tho floor. Sho Informed those who gathered around thnt she hart tnlcnn nnlinn Dr. norglura was called and succeeded In saving her life, The woman said this was ner tnirci attempt to commit nulcldo and sh wns sorry she was not successful, She sain: -ny son, wno is in iown, has stopped writing to me. nnd I want to die." Her homo is near the mission. CLAIMS WOMAN SHOT HIM Juinra rnllnhnn'a F.irnae for Dlaplnv- lnr a Cnsli In Ills Hend to the Police, A telephone message from Fifteenth and Capitol avenue, stntlng that someone had teen shot, was tho reason why a patrol wagon full of officers was sent to the scene about 12 o'clock last night. Upon their ar rival tho officers found James Callahan, 1011 North Seventeenth street, suffering from a severe gnsh In, tho top of bis hend. Callahan told the officers he was sitting In a saloon near Fifteenth and Capitol ave nue, when some woman fame In and with out a word walked up, shot him, and then made her escape. "I was so surprised and startled," said Callahan, "that I can give no description of tho woman, nor could I Identify her, If she wns nrrestcd." Callahnn was taken to the station nnd Dr. Francis L. Horglum sewed up his wound. The doctor said tho wound was apparently caused by n stick or somo blunt Instru ment. Officers Investigated and found thore had been no shooting In the neighborhood, nro that Callahan and somo woman had been quarreling near a lunch wagon at Fifteenth street and Capitol avenue, and It Is sup posed thnt tho woman struck him. Tho police were told later that the wound was Inflicted by n club In tho hands of Olive Ragsdale, and olllccra Bet out to look for her. Amusements. "Mr. Ilnnc's Defence," nt the lloyri. Chnrlcs Frohmnn's Empire Theater com pany at tho Hoyd, presenting for tha first tlmo here "Mrs. Dunn's Defence," a piny In four nets by Henry Arthur Jons. Per sons represented: Sir Dimlel (Mr. Justice) Carteret , , Charles itlchmnn Lionel Cnrterct, his adopted son Genrire Cooper Cnnon Uonsey, vlcnr of Sunnlngwiitcr. .. . W. li. rrompton Mr. tlulsom Porter K. Y. llackis Mr. James rtlshy Stanley Dark Mr. Fendlck, a private Inquiry agent . George Osbourne, Jr. Adnms, butler nt Lndy Hnstnoy's Frank Hrownloo Wilson, butler nt Sir Daniel's (leorgo Sylvester Mrs. Dane Margaret Aimltn Lady Hnstney Kthel llorrlck Mrs. Hulsom Porter Mnv Hrooko Janet Colquhoun, nleoo to Lady Hnst- ney Mnrgnrct Dale The whole of tho notion takes plnco nt Hunnlngwntor, ubout twenty-live miles from London, In the present day. In "Mrs, Dane's Defence" why didn't ho call It "prosecution?" Mr. Henry Ar thur Jones has nppronched the social prob lem from nnother of Its mnny sides. Ho hns tnken most of the Ingredients of tho "problem" piny and nddo'd only the char acter of Mrs. nulsom-Portor, who Is gen erlcally typical of Mrs. Grundy. His other characters are tho same the woman who has stepped nside nnd who learns to her cost that never In this world will thnt sten be forgotten; the sympathetic womnn, who is willing to condone her sister's mlstnke: the men who will "llo Ilka gentlemen" to savo a woman, tho stepfnther. tn whom truth Is more than tho happiness of him self, his son or tho womnn who loves his son nnd In whom he ran And no other fault thnn that sho sought to screen her self from tho result of folly In which she had been but n passive participant. These with persons neeessnry to mako up tho ensemble. Mr. Jones Is rather conven tlonal In his denouncement. He slams the door In Mrs. Dane's fnco nnil lenves her outside the temple of earthly happl ncss, compelled to do pennnnco for her misfortune while life shnll last. Briefly, the talc: Felicia Ilclmrncch, n girl, Is dncolvod. Her lover proves to be a married man, whoso wife, learning of his Unison, commits suicide. He noes crnzy and Fcllctn Is given n homo with her cousin, Lucy Allen Dane. Her child Is born, her cousin dies and sho seeks to hldo her shamo behind her cousin's name. As Mrs. Dane she Is wooed by Lionel Cnrterct, tho ndopted son of Sir Dnnlol Carteret, an English Judge. A nephew of Mrs, Rulsom Porter recognizes Felicia and tolls his aunt. Sho starts tho scandalous story. All side with Mrs. Dane nnd even tho detectlvo whom Mrs. Rulsom-Porter has employed lies to shield the quondam Mrs. Dane. In seeking tho details of her life that he may thoroughly cstnbllsh her Identity ns Mrs. Lucy Allen Dane Sir Danlol questions her and sho makes a mlstnke In her nnswer. 'He divines the truth. Shoiconfessen. Mrs. nulsom-Portcr triumphs anjl,' Felicia pays tnc penalty. All tho sympathy of tho play lies with Mrs. Dane. She wns nbout to win bnck tho pnradlso sho had lost whon the represcntn tlvc of moral .purity In tho unlovable per sonago of Mrs. nulsom-Portcr sots to work to thruct her back to tho depths and suc ceeds. Tho mornl Is too obvious to requlro pointing out. Tho nrgument Is for tho In dividual; the conclusion, the Incvltnble one, that tho "problem" piny merely presents the problem nnd not the solution. It is charmingly worded, this piny of Mr. Jones. Like nil his works, It Is tnlky, but tho talk Is divided up very evenly nmong tho speaking parts and the conver sation In the lighter moods spnrkles with wit, ngrcenbly refreshing. No mornl lec tures nro delivered by nny of the speakers, but thero aro certain moral facts driven home hard. Tho company to which the ploco has been entrusted Is qulto up to tho Empire stnnd- arl. Omaha, or Indeed, nny city, rarely hears moro competent ladles nnd gentle men than those who gnve this piny last night. Some of them wero not well known here, but on the bill nre tho nnmes of sev eral who havo como to us season after sea son, until wo feel on fairly easy terms with them. Their reception at tho Royd last night was such as should havo mndo even people used to New York triumphs feel a bit of prldo In their work. Mr. Charles Itlchmnn Is one of tho cast with whom Omaha people will hope to be come better ncqualnted. Ills handsome presence, mngnlflcent voice and Intelligent acting mark him as one of tho best leading men on tho stago today. It Is doubtful If his prcsentntion of the difficult chnractcr of tho truth-worshiping Justlco could bo Improved. To Miss Margaret Anglln falls tho renlly hard work of tho evening. In Mrs. Dnno she has n very trying role. It Is not that tho sympathy of the nudlence naturally goes out to her. On tho contrary, sho must so present her story that tho audience will take her side In spite of her double turn- first In being deceived nnd second In deceiv ing. Miss Anglln has a tine conception of whnt Is required of her, nnd with remark able talent for expression nnd a complete coramnnd of herself at nil times, sho gives a life to the chnractcr that Is so real as to be almost painful In Its Intensity. Miss May Drooko takes the thankless part of Mrs. Bulfcom-Porter with raro np- preclatlon and easily deserves all tho credit a discerning nudlenco can bestow upon her. Mr. Compton Is so well known In Omnha that it Is unnecessary to say moro than that tho rich bouquet of his humor In creases with age. As for tho others In tho cast, thoy may be grouped nnd commended In tho one word, "Excellent," "Mrs. Dane's Defcnco" will bo given again tonight. KnlKht of I'ytlllns I'lrnle.

COMPLY WITH THE NEW CHARTER Snrpy County HnUes n Cry AunliiM Jlnd Creek Sewer School t.enunp Will Hold .Meet I iik Tonluht -em In (lenrrnl. An adjourned meeting ot the city council was held yesterday afternoon and tho city clerk wns Instructed to advertise the pe tition for tbo grading of E street from Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth street. It was tho Intention of the council to pass an ordinance at this meeting, but City At torney Lnmbort sahl that such action was not necessary. One of the provisions of tho new charter Is that petitions of this kind must ho published live times and then twenty days must elapso before the council can tako decisive action, Tho petition will thercforo bo prepared and printed nnd tho ordinance providing for tho work will bo brought up nt tho next meeting. As this Is tho first petition for public Im provements presented since tho new chnrlcr went Into effect City Attorney Lambert is naturally very particular about It. All sig natures to Improvement petitions must bo signed In Ink and In tho presence of a no tnry public. One of tho signatures on tho petition In question was In pencil nnd Mr. Lambert refused to glvo the document his approval until a chnugn hnd been mnde. Tho administration proposes to go slowly on Improvement matters and havo nil docu ments tn such condition that there can be no question raised ns to tho legality of tho special taxes assessed. With tho start ing of tho grading of E street property owners on other streets between Twcntv thlrd nnd Twenty-fourth streets nre bo- ' coming Interested, but It will take a seo arato petition nnil ordinance In each caso. There seems to bo n desire to havo sev eral streets opened to Twenty-third street beforo winter sets in. In connection with the Improvement of streets nnd alleys City Attorney Inmbcrt has prepared a list of things which must be dono In order to mnko tho petition legnl. For tho Information of tnxpnyrrs sections of tho charter which bear on this subject will bo printed on cards nnd turned over to tho city clerk. Whon property owners cnll nnd request blanks for petitions they will bo given ono of theso cards. In thli wny It is thought that nil petitions for Improvements will be signed according to law and that tho city will save n great deal In tho long run. Mini Crreli Seiver, Somo time ngo nn nttorney sent word to tho local corporations thnt the people of Sarpy county would tnko steps shortly to nbato thn alleged Mud creek nuisance. At tho suggestion of n city official n special committee was appointed to confer with tho corporation managers to seo what could bo done nbout the building .of a sewer. Ono of the flrst propositions was thnt tho cltv vote bonds to pay one-half of tho cost of tho proposed sewer. Flnnlly, however, the corporations backed down nnd Insisted that tho city pay tho cntlro cost, which will, it Is estimated, amount to $120,000. The coun cil committee declined to havo nnythlng to do with the proposition under theso clrcum stnnccs nnd negotiations were dropped. Now comes tho saino attorney with n com munication to tho mnyor nnd council to tho effect that unless the city tnkes steps to nbnto this alleged nuisance officials of Sarov county will take legal steps to force the city to do something. The letter will bo read to the council at tho meeting to be held on Monday night. Whllo somo pcoplo who pay taxes here nppcar to bo willing to share n pnrt of tho expenso of a new sewer thoy sny that bv no means will they ngrce thnt the cltv build n sewer for tho corporations and pay tho cntlro cost.
