The democratic primaries arc over, the
delegates who will make up the county con
vention on Saturday have been selected and
the shades on the windows of the Jack
Hernial club rooms arc nt half-mast. While
tho Smith & Smyth-Herdman-Howell ag
gregation lags In Its amazement, the Doug
las County Democracy Is opening copious
kegs of beer and celebrating a victory that
it scarcely hoped to win.
In eight of the Omaha wards uncontested
delegations were elected, and In these eight
wards tho Douglas Countyltcs, by making
bhrewd compromises with the Jacksonlans
before tho primaries placed twenty-three of
their men. And then, by winning the fight
In ihe Eighth ward, hey secured eleven
more delegates, making thirty-nine for them
in the city. Of the twenty-four delegates
elected from South Omaha at least fourteen,
nnd perhaps sixteen, will vote. In the con
vention with the Douglas County organiza
tion, From the country precincts 'the Doug
las Countyltcs will, have at least forty-six
delegates, glxlng them at the lowest esti
mate ninety-nine votes in the convention,
where ninety-seven will be a majority.

Interest In tho primaries centered In
South' Omaha, wherczlx candidates for ths
nomination for county commissioner fought
for delegations -Richard O'Kccfe. who had
the effective support ,of tho German-Amerl-can
Democratic club In nit of the wards,
came out of the struggle with ten of the
delegates. John Ryan also secured ten and
tho remaining four were nil that were left
for Thomas llocior.
A. large majority of the delegates elected
in the Omaha wards went on record pre
vious to tho primaries as being In favor of
the South Omaha commissioner .candidate
who would show up In the convention with
the largest following from bis own district.
As O'Kcefe and Ryan have an equal num
ber of tho South Omaha delegates, both
will have reasonable claims for support
from the Omaha delegates, but It Is under
stood that O'Kcefe's prospects In this di
rection are much brighter than Ryan's.
Flaht In Oniulin.
Out In the Eighth ward In the city of
Omaha the Jarksonlan club undertook to hog
the delegation by putting up a ticket with
out a representative of the Douglas County
Democracy on It, nnd th'e last named or
ganization Jumped Into 'the field with Its
own straight ticket and smothered the
Jacksonlans with one of those "glorious i!e
frats'Sso frequently spoken of by the peer
less leader. Joseph Rutler headed the win
ning Douglas County Democracy ticket with
nlnoty-elght votes, and his colleagues ran
almost as well, while the head of the Jack
sonlan ticket, Ignatius J, Dunn, was left
with only flfty-nino votes.

Members of the party hustled from noon
until sundown getting out votes In South
Omaha The fight was for the nomination
for county commissioner. Six candidates
for this offlco were In the field nnd each ono
declared that he was confident of winning.
There was a good voto polled In every
ard. but owing to the fact that the new
six-ward formation was used there was
some confusion.
A the last registration book were used

tlon in order that residents might vote, In
the new wards. The clerk merely Issued a
certificate to the effect that the bearer was
properly registered. In somo Instances the
judges nnd clerks declined at first to ac
cept these, but Dually accepted them. There
wis no disturbance of any kind at the polls,
although the fight was a bitter one. Each
candidate wan out to win and the primary
polling places bad the aspect of a general
election.
When the totals were nil In It was found
that O'Keefe had ten delegates, Ryan ten
and Hoctor four. McMillan and Gallagher
were snowed under.
The First ward went for O'Keefe good
and strong, making him four votes. In the
Second ward O'Kccfe secured Delegates
Kotera and Dragoou. The Fourth ward
went solid for O'Keefe, although the Hoc
tor followers put up a good, stiff fight.
Ryan carried the Third and Fifth wards
and secured one delegate In the Second
ward. Hoctor carried the Sixth ward by a
good majority. The names of the dele
gates follow-

On account of the fight for county com
missioner being so fierce little attention
was paid by voters to the selection of Jus
tice of the peace and constables. A count
of the votes cast showed, however, that
William Holmrs and Jacob Levy were the
choice for Justices,
Even with the poor showing made Hoctor
did not give up last night and assorted on
the streets that he could still win out If he
made up his mind to do It. The fact is
that Hector's delegates can control the Bit
nation by golnj? over to either Ryan or
O'Keefe. Mr. Ryan Is banking on secur
ing the Sixth ward delegation and so Is
O'Keefe. An the Second ward delegation Is
all split up there Is likely to bo some trad
ing done. A prominent democrat said last
night that the battle would be fought out
In the convention,- which wll be held on
Saturday unless an agreement was reached
today.

One of the really amusing attractions of
the midway Is the "Josh museum." con
ducted for the benefit of the Jewish Ladles'
Hospital association. It Is an excellently
well done burlesque of the conventional
dime museum and has on exhibition more
than 100 Interesting subjects.
For Instance, No. 5, "Members of the
nar," Is represented by three cakes of
soap. Sixteen lumps of sugar play tho
part of "Sweet Sixteen." The "Effects of
Lent" are well shown by a wornout um
brella. Of course an onion la a "Sight to
Bring Tears." A hook nnd eye deserves the
title, "We Fart to Meet Again." "Lot's
Wife" is graphically represented by a fat
woman. "A Paradise on Earth" Is a pair
of dlco on a little mound of dirt.
In addition to the museum take off there
Is an Interesting minstrel performance, in
which a score or more of Omaha children
take part.

VICTOR, Colo.. Sept. II. (Special Tele
gram.) Despondency over business compli
cations caused William Ramble, formerly
of Omaha, to commit suicide at his home,
414 Portland avenue. He took laudanum.
He was found lying on his face In the pan
try at 0:10 o'clock this morning and at 3:!0
o'clock In the afternoon all medical means
failed to restore him.
Gamble had been missing since Wednesday
morning and two searchers of the house
were made before he was found In the
pantry. When the pantry door was forced
open he was found in the narrow room,
lying with hi faco down, his legs slightly
drawn up. He was still nlfve, but in a
crml-coniclous condition. He was lifted up,
when he spoke several times, saying, "Hoys.
let mc down," but he was unAble to say
anything that would show why ho tcok the
poison.
Oamble came to this city In 1S?3 from
Omaha, but he was raised in Boston. He
first bad a cigar store, and more recently
a clothing store. The a.-nount of his busi
ness llcbllltles Is not yet known. Ho was u

He left a letter addressed to his wife In
Omaha, who Is on her way here. The letter
has not been opened, but It is expected that
it will sbow the actual cause for his taking
of his own life. He was also a member of
the Masonic fraternity. Benjamin Gamble,
a brother of deceased, Is mnanger of tho

CARNIVAL ON IN EARNEST

n li I II K.
Just a glimpse at Omaha last night was
proof that a carnival is on.
Real red fire burned holes In the dark
ness, tooting horns vied with tho resonant
voice of the speller, confetti fell like snow
flakes, the red-coated band of Italy sent out
music to stir the soul, the ever-interesting
midway was thronged and the gatekeepers
were busy turning in the Immense crowds.
In point of attendance last night wan a
record-breaker, the number being conserva
tively estimated at 10,000.
The chief feature, of course, was the
Bands, Rossa. under direction of Signer Sor-
rentlno. . There Is nothing slow about thls
band and the red coats worn by the mu
sicians -lend a tinge of brightness to the
melody. Omdha his- In the past demon
strated that it appreciate good music and
that In the aggregate it listens with criti
cal ear. If the npplause given the Banda
Rossa yesterday, both afternoon and even
ing, may be taken ns an index, the music
made a tremendous hit. Two concerts will
be given today, the same tomorrow and then
the engagement will end.
Superintendent Getz stated last night that
several additional attractions have been e
cured, which are to bo in operation not
later than the first of next week. One of
these said to be worthy of particular atten
tion is an electrical fountain, which Is to
be placed on the midway.
I.lKhts Arc Turned On.
Douglas street was illuminated last night
with myriads of colored lights. These were
turned on as an experiment Just to ses
how the lights are working and they
looked so pretty that they were allowed to
remain. Later In the carnival reason other
down town thoroughfares will of course be
similarly lighted and this Is expected to be
one of the prettiest features.
The crowds last night were good-humored
and there was entire absence of formality.
Anybody dashed confetti In anybody's face
and nobody got mad nt anybody. Howover.
confetti throwers did not go to the ex
treme of former years. Reason why, the
pollco are on the alert for all who go too
far.
In many respects this carnival is opening
up In a manner far superior to former car
nivals. The free nmusement list Is stronger
than, It has ever been beforo, the mercan
tile displays are brighter and more cxten
slvo and In various other ways a marked
Improvement Is shown over previous efforts.
"It Is tho result of experience," Superin
tendent Getz explains, "for each year we
learn a little something about this business
that we didn't know before."
The weather last night and all day yes
terday was fine. Indications are now fa
vorable for h continuance of Ihe same and
the beginning of next week will undoubtedly
bring some lively times to Omaha.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. Within threo
hours from the time of convening the
court of Inquiry today It was announced
that Rear Admiral llowison was disquali
fied from serving as n member of the court
nnd was excused from further duty. This
brought proceedings to an abrupt turn and
caused a temporary adjournment of the
court In order to permit the Navy depart
ment to designate nn otllcer to succeed Ad
mlrnl Howisou. No further session Is prob
able until tho early part of next week.
It had been expected that little official
business would be accomplished on the
opening day and the prompt decision as to
Admiral Howlson came somewhat as a sur
prise. Prior to the court's conveulng n
good sized crowd assembled at the Wash
ington navy yard, where the court meets,
to witness the coming of the prominent
naval officers who were to take part In the
proceedings. They came ununlformed and
unheralded and until Ihe full dress untforms
had been donned nt quarters inside the yard
for the actual sessions of tho court there
was little to lend dramatic Interest to the
occasion.
Observed uf All Olisrrrri.
Admiral Dewey and Admiral Schley
naturally were the premier figures In pop
ular Interest. The latter had about him a
distinguished party of counsel, Including
Hon. Jere Wilson. Attorney General Isl
dor Rayncr of Maryland and Cnptuln
James Parker, with Mr. Tcague acting as
advisory counsel. The' German naval at
tache, Captain Rcbeur-Paschwitz. occupied
one of the scats lu the public area and the
number of wives of naval offlcera present
was noteworthy.
A salute of seventeen guns in honor of
the admiral of the navy marked the open
ing of the proceedings. The usual for
malities on the opening of the court were
enacted with dispatch.
Schley Miiki-i III t'hnllenue.
The first skirmish was opened by Admiral
Schley rising from his seat and speaking
In a "strong voice, calmly and deliberately,
challenging Admiral Howison's eligibility as
a member of the rourt". Three witnesses
were brought forward In support of this
challenge, namely. Francis S. Frost, Wil
liam E. Spon and Foster Nicholls. They
gave very positive testimony as to expres
sions they had heard Admiral Howlson
make, favorable to Admiral Sampson und
unfavorable to Admiral Schley. Mr. Frost
testified to a statement Admiral Howlson
had made to him at Roaton while tho wit
ness was seeking news as a reporter: Mr.
Spon to remarks made while he nnd tho
admiral were Journeying back to this coun
try from Europe on a transatlantic steamer,
and Mr. Nicholls to a conversation which
occurred during a business call at Admiral
Howison's private residence at Yonkcrs,
N. Y.
On concluding this testimony the ques
tion arose whether Admiral Howlson would
Join Issue with the statements made by tho
witnesses or would rest on his privilege to
withhold any answer until ho chose to sub
mit it.
IIohIkoii Rind to lie Kxcuseil.
The admiral met the Issue by turning at
once to Admiral Dewey and announcing that
he would make a writ of rejoiner to the
statements of the three witnesses. This re
Joiner he prepared very speedily. While
conceding the accuracy of some points In
the evidence, he threw considerable doubt
on other points and disclaimed any recol
lection of the talks said to have taken place
on the transatlantic steamer. It was not
sufficient, however, to counteract the very
direct testimony given by the three wit
nesses, and moreover the admiral himself,
in concluding his statement, Indicated
plainly that he had no desire to remain on
the court and was there simply In obedience
to orders. He even appealed to his asso
ciates on the court to decide all doubtful
questions as to his eligibility In favor of
Admiral Schley.
Before submitting the challenge to the
determination of tho court, Mr, Kayner
cross examined Admiral Howlson very mi
nutely as to hie personal sentiment toward
Admiral Sampson and Admiral Schley and
developed that Admiral Howlson had ex
pressed certain definite convictions as to
Admiral Sampson's retention of authority
and responsibility, een while he was nb
sent temporarily from the fleet at Santiago,
I)eve .Soon Announces Adjournment.
The challenge then was submitted to the
court, which, under the circumstances, was
narrowed down to Admlrul Dewey and Ad
miral Renham to.paes upon. After hardly
more than fifteen minutes, spent In retire
ment to the consulting room of the court,
Admiral Dewey brlclly announced that the
court sustained the challenge that Admiral
Howlson would be excused from further
attendance. The decision came so quickly
and unexpectedly that it' sent a flutter of
agitation throughout the courtroom. There
was a buzz of animated comment and Ad
miral Schley exchanged looks of satisfaction
with bis counsel.
Admiral Dewey then at onco closed the
proceedings of the day by announcing that
the court would adjourn Indefinitely until
the Navy department had named an officer
to succeed Admiral llowison.
Itiiom llenily ,Iimt In Time,
The early arrivals fouud the tool shop, In
which the court Is to sit, In confusion. The
building Is jjew and while the laborers had
completed tholr preparations for tho court
tho cleaners were engaged In their work
up to almost the hour for the arrival of
the court. The man with the dust broom
and cleaning cloth had scarcely disap
peared when Admiral Dewey and his fel
low' members of the court arrived. Tho
building Itself is a large, oblong structure
and looks more like the workshop which It
Is Intended to be than a courthouse. In
deed, while It Is commodious and clean,
and new, It created tho Impression of un
Impromptu courthouse In a frontier com
munity. With the exception of two large flags and
a hugo gulden eagle on the lead-colored
wall back of the court, tho walls of the
court hall were entirely freo from decora
tions and the floors wero Innocent of car
peting; not even were the large windows
shaded, The seats except those Inside the
railing, were campcbalrs. The elevator and
the electric fans piled noisily and there
w-as a smell of fresh paint on every hand.
Captain Lcmly, Judge advocate general,
was tho first official to arrive. He carao tn
with his assistant, Mr E P. Hanna, a few
minutes after 11 o'clock and thoy were soon
busily engaged In unpacking two or threo
largo boxes of books which It Is expected
will be called Into frequent usn for refer
ence during the sessions of the court.
Ileiihiini First In Arrlte,
The distinguished naval officers who are
to participate In the proceedings began to
put In appearance about 12 20 o'clock, but
they came quietly and without any outward
demonstration of saluting guns and march
ing guards of honor. Admiral Renham, one
of the members of the court, was the first
member of the court to arrive He was in
civilian dresA and carried his encased sword
ond n dtess suit ease containing his uni
form. An ofllcer of the yard escorted him
to the private quarters where the full dres.
of rinse on the court was to be donned.
Admiral Dewey drove up In his carriage
At Just 12:30 o'clock and wns greeted nt Vie
entrance of the building by Rear Adnilr.il
Terry, commandant of the navy yard
A guard of marines also wheeled Into line
nnd saluted ns the ml mlrnl passed by At
companylng him was his young Chinese
servant, wno served him during the battle I
in Manila bay and has ever since remained '
ns his body scrvan1 The ndmlral was calm 1
nnd smiling ns ho nchnowlcdgrd the greet
ings of ofllcers nnd men and proceeded to '
the private dressing rooms. '
Tho members xf the Schlev court of in
quiry, Admiral Dewey, Renham and Howl
sou, arrived at the navy yard at 12-.10
o'clock. They wore civilian clothes and no
ralute was fired ns they entered the gate.
Admiral Schley and his counsel arrived
at the court room at 12-45. The court of
li.ipilry convened nt tbe navy yard at
1 ;v tn.
At this point Judge Advocate General
Lemly Introduced the oluclal reporter of
the court's proceedings, Mr. llulse, and
his own assistant counsel, Mr. Hanun. Ad
miral Schley also introduced his counsel,
Judge J. M, Wilson, Hon. Isldnr Raynor
and Captain James Parker.
Formnl I'mcrcilliiui lleuun.
Tho formal proceedings of the court were
begun with readlns by Captain Lcmly of Ad-
mlrnl Schley's letter requesting the conven
lug of the court and thp Naxy department'!
precept.
The court assumed a listening attitude.'
but Admiral Schley, known ns "the cppll-1
cant" In the case, gavo only Indifferent nt-'
tentlon to the document. The admiral gac
closer attention, however, when the Judge
advocate began the reading of the order ap
pointing Rear Admlrn) Howlson a member
of the court In place of Rear Admiral Kim
berly, and he continued to give careful heed
when his letter to the department asking
for a modification of paragraph live of the
precept, rcgni-llng dmlrat Schley's dis
obedience of Orders was read, together with
the department's refusal to comply with the
request.
None of these documents received more
than perfunctory attention from the audi
tors, but there was a general chango of at
tltuJo when the next order of proceeding
wns reached. This was the challenge on
the part of Rear Admiral Schley of Rear
Admiral Howlson as a member of the court.
Schley Ohjocls to llnirUon.
At 1.30 p. m. Admiral Schley nroie and
said that with extreme regret he was
obliged to challenge Admiral Howlson as
a member of tho court.
This Is the full text of Admiral Schlcv's
Challenge of Admiral Howlson as a mem
ber of the court:
"Rear Admiral W. S. Schley. In the exer
cise of his legal right of challenge, objects
to Hear Admiral Henry L. Howlson upon
tbe grounds:
1. That Rear Admiral Henry L. Howlson
has already formed and expressed nn
opinion on the merits of the case about
to be Investigated and that he Is. there
fore, ineligible for service as a member of
this court.
2. That Rear Admiral Henry L. Howlson
has already formed nnd expressed an opin
ion on the merits of the case about to be
Investigated adversely to said Rear Ad
miral W. S. Schley, thereby Indicating a
bias and prejudice which renders him. said
Rear Admiral Henry L. Howlson, ineligible
for service as a member of this court.
X That Rear Admiral Henry L. Howlson
has, in connection with the subject matter
about to be investigated, expressod an un
favorable opinion on tho personal and pro
fessional characteristics of said Rear Ad
miral Schley, thereby Indicating a bias and
prejudice which renders him, said Rear Ad
miral Howlson, Ineligible for service as a
member of this Court.
4. That Rear Admiral Henry L. Howlson,
In connection with tbe opinion formed and
expressed by him upon the merits of tho
case about to be Investigated, haB expressed
and announced a comparison between the
acts and personal and professional charac
teristics of the principal parties to tho
present issue, viz: Rear Admirals Samp
son and Schley, to the disadvantage nnd
disparagement of the latter, thereby Indi
cating a bias and prejudice which renders
him, Rear Admiral Henry L. Howlson, In
eligible tor service as a member of this
court.
Record Reporter Testifies.
Captain Lemly then asked If there was
any evidence In support of the statements'
concerning Renr Admiral Howlson, te
which Mr. Raynor, speaking for Rear Ad
miral Schley, tald there was, Admiral
Dewey announced that this would be heard.
Francis A. Frost of the Roston Record,
who had a conversation with Rear Adralr.il
Howlson, In which the latter was alleged
to have mado reflections upon Admiral
Schley, was colled to the stand. The wit
ness explained the nature of his duties,
lu securing news from the Charlcstown
navy yard. He then repeated tho con
versation he Is said to have had with Ad
miral Howlson. This occurred, he said, In
tho commandant's office, nnd whllo It hBd
not been given with the distinct under
standing that it should be published, there
was no Injunction of secrecy.
Publications had begun to appear concern
ing the credit of tho victory. This had
been referred to during the witness" visit
to Admiral Howlson, and In reply the ad
miral stated, so the witness testified, that
Sampson was entitled to the credit of the
victory at Santiago. Admiral Howlson do-
fcrlbed thp duties which had devolved ,
on Sampson, bow vessels had been placed
off the entrance of the harbor toguard
against the escape of the Spanish fleet. Tlio
witness said Admiral Howlson stated that
If tho American fleet had been defeated
Admiral Sampson would have been naked
why it had occurred. Mr. Frost said he
had suggested that the public was disposed
