Hour Caadldate.
At the regular monthly meeting of the
South Omaha Live Stock exchange held
yesterday afternoon there was considerable
business of Importahce transacted. There
waa also something unexpected. Captain
Farkhurst, who haa been pre-ldent of the
exchange for four years, called the ex
change to order and then asked permlstdin
that the recently elected preatdunt take the
chair at once. M. R. Murphy, the presi
dent, assumed the duties of the president,
although he la not to be regularly Installed
until Monday. Upon leaving the chiir Cap
tain Parkhurrt, aa a member of the ex
change, took occasion to say a few words
bout his defeat. He aald that being the
Unanlmoua nominee of the exchange he had
coneented to run for the office for the fifth
time. More than this he went on to cay
that he did not like the methods pursiud lit
choslng an independent candidate at a late
hour and electing him. He considered that
he waa entitled to better treatment at the
handa of the exchange. With a few fare
well remark Captain Parkhurst withdrew,
Having the chnlr to Mr. Murphy.
In accepting the chair Mr. Murphy said
that he believed In sustaining the rules of
the exchange and that If rtllea wero now In
force which were detrimental to the South
Omaha market he would like to ee a
Change. Aa long aa the present rules are
on the books Mr. Murphy intends to enforos
them. ,
On motion It waa decided that In the fu
ture aa In the past the funds, from the In
spection of hogs and the regular exchange
funds should be kept separate and that one
fund ahould not be used at the expense Of
the other fund. Thla motion was carried
unanimously.
Just after action about the disposition of
funds had been carried some ono wanted to
bring up the discussion of rescinding the
action taken about employing solicitors.
When this matter was brosched a motion
to adjourn was made and the official meet
ing of the exchange stopped there.
Under the rules another meeting will be
held on Monday when the directors will be
called upon to name a secretary and treas
urer. School Examinations.

Tim Murphy has finally secured a play
that gives him a chance. "The Man from
Missouri" Is a long way from being a per
fect piece of dramatic carpentering, but It
Is so much better than anything we have
had Mr. Murphy in thnt one la Inclined to
forgive the rough places and say "Uoodl"
It Is a quiet comedy along rational lines,
with the exception that its plot is a trifle
too Involved; not that It Is not-sufficiently
spparent, but It doesn't travel the straight
and narrow path of the modern comedy
plot. On the contrary, it pokes around a
number of queer and unneeeesary crooks,
taking on almost a melodramatic aspect a,'
one or two points.
Mr. Murphy has the role of a cowboy
from Nevada, who Is known on his range as
"Droncho Jim, the man from Missouri."
By the way, does it seem reasonable that If
Mr. Murphy had ever spent any great
length ot time In Nevada that he could de
liver his little speech about the rolling
prairies at Sunset ranch with a straight
face? Messrs. Hobart and Rose ought to
post up on western geography and topog
raphy. Dut Mr. Murphy takes the cowboy
to Washington and makes htm live, doing
just what one would look for under the cir
cumstances. Washington society Is a little
bit high for him at the start, but ha doesn't
weaken when things get to coming fast, for
he still has his native good sense back of
him, and in the end he makes a cowboy
that no western msn need feel ashnmed of.
And that Is something that isn't often done
on the stage. Especially In a play written
by a New Yorker.
But Mr. Murphy doesn't furnish all the
comedy; every member of the company Is
called upon to contribute to some extent.
Tho opening situation, In which two sisters
and their cousin confide to each other, one
at a time, that the adored one of each has
gone to ask the father's consent, and the
subsequent appearance of the three young
men, In various stages of discomfiture. Is a
novel opening, and as delicious as It Is orig
inal. Other situations In the play are equally
rich In humorous conceit. The humor of the
play has Its foil In the presence of a Mex
ican, who makes much trouble early In the
game, but Is finally brought to 'book. The
company supporting Mr Murphy la a fine
organisation, and the result Is a smooth and
pleasing performance. The piece la staged
with much attention to detail and great
fidelity, a decidedly pleasing addition to the
excellent acting.
A large audience was present last night
and rewarded Mr. Murphy and his asso
ciates with much merited applause. "The
Man from Missouri'! will be given at a
matinee and evening performance today.
GENTLEMAN DIES OF INJURIES
Henry Foster, Who Confesses to
Shooting, ' Does Not Appear
Worried Over Affair. 1
Thomas Gentleman, the Union Pacific
watchman who waa shot by Henry Foster
Thuraday evening, died of his Injuries at
10 o'clock last night at St. Joseph's hos
pital. It was at first thought tho wound
was merely a superficial one and that
Gentleman would recover, but the shock
proved more than he could stand and yes
terday afternoon he waa reported as In a
serious condition.
The shooting occurred about 9 o'clock
Thursday evening in the railroad yards at
Fourteenth street, near the Chicago Lum
ber company's yards. Foster was prowling
around the coal cars with lad when
Ge.itleman called to him and started to
place him under arrest. As the watchman
approached Foiter drew his revolver and
fired, the bullet striking Gentleman l,n the
left groin.
Foster waa then seen to run to the house
of Mrs. Evans, 1B23 Marcy street, which Is
a few doors from the Foster house. With
the weapon in his hand he told the Evans
woman that he had Just shot a man. Fos
ter then went to his home, 1001 South
Sixteenth, where he waa found by the
police. In the meantime he had disposed of
the revolver.
When brought to the police station Fos
ter denied any knowledge of the affair,
saying that he had not left his house dur
ing the evening. Yesterday, however, when
confronted with a chain of evidence he
made a full confession. He said that he
and a lad, Tatrlck O'Conner. had gone
down to the tracks and that he had taken
the weapon with him as a matter of usual
precaution, adding that he was living alone.
vv hen Gentleman approached lilm he
thought he was In for trouble and fired the
shot before the watchman got to him.
The O'Conner boy haa been held as a
state witness.
Foster was entirely unmoved when
brought Into Captain Mostyn's office last
night and advised of the death of his vic
tim. "I csn't help It. It isn't worrying me.
You can bring him back If you want to,"
he said, in a manner that plainly showed
that the matter was not worrying hipa In
the least.
Thomaa Gentleman, Foster's victim, '.s
a single man, 47 years of age, and has
been in the employ of the Union Pacific
railroad for a number of years.

LAWYERS AI BANQUET BOARD
Kit a Ooel Tim io with a Qaant'ty of
Mora Solid Talk.
U DGE VAN DEVANTER AN HONORED GUEST
Responds to Toast "I'nlted .teles,'
While) C. J. Smyth Speaks for K
brasUa and Judge Barnes
for Supreme Court. '
Uncounted boxes of brand new hilarity,
fresh from the Joy factory, were spread
open In the Her Grand Friday night by the
Nebraska State Bar association at its 'an
hual banquet, so that a blind person
brought from the silent street would rather
imagine himself on the Vinton street
bleachers when the Omahas were winning
than In the midst of the assembled wisdom
and dignity of the bar. But In addition to
satirical conviviality there were good thing
to eat and to hear.
While the attorneys were shaking hands
with the blue points the toast to the t'nl el
States was drunk, and from then on the
orchestra played and the speakers turned
loose the flow of wit and oratory.
The newly elected ptesldent, K. B. Le'.lon,
began by saying that It was a matter of
great gratification to him, but such a vol!oy
of cheers broke out that he poured the rest
of his remark Into a glass ot sauterne or
rather, the sauterne out of the glass Into
the remark. "It Is my opinion," he con
tinued, "that If any Nebraska lawyer don't
belong to the association (cries of "lynch
him, lynch him," and applause) you should
make yourselves missionaries and bring
Into the fold the wandering sheep." The
Judge gave It up and rat down amidst dies
of "Don't take any bad money," etc. John
L. Webster attempted to say that he had
performed his last official duty, but the
diners cried, "Good, good," and "Sit down,"
and lastly, "What's the matter with Web
sterT" Judge John M. Dryden of Kearney
said:
"If you would treat me like Mark Twain
("Haven't you been treated enough?" from
the fifth table.) I must go early gentle-nen.
I have Judge Barnes In my care and I must
load him up and be off with him. My wife
Is a great admirer of Shakespeare and we
often talk about him and wonder If he
wroto the plays. She says that when she
gets to heaven she will ask him about It.
But suppose he Is not there? I asked. Then,
she said, you may ask him. The speaker
started In to tell how much he was In
debted to Custer county, a debt which he
could never repay, but a voice declared that
"they could foreclose on you," and he de
sisted amid applause.
Kulosry of Nebraska.
C. J. Smyth responded to the toast of
Nebraska, saying In part:
"No one can look on the state past or
future except In pride of spirit. Look at it,
77.000 mllea in area, larger than Germany,
England, seven times as large as the king
dom of Belgium, which contains 6,000,000
souls. It is said of Nebraska that If It
could be superposed on tho eastern state
Omaha would rest on New York, Beatrice
on Philadelphia ('It's Just as slow now,"
from the crowd), Crawford on Buffalo
("What about Wahoo?") During the last
eight years we have been vexed with the
financial question, but during this time did
anyone pause to consider that Nebraska
corn was equal to 88 per cent of all the
mine products of the country? Because of
such facta Nebraska has become a domi
nant factor In the affairs of the nation. We
have had rumors of war between Japan and
Russia, and rumors that there would be
no war, but now when tho truth comes out
It seems that Nebraska is at the bottom of
It; the csar could not move his army until
he got 1,000,000 barrels of beef from Ne
braska. But Nebraska has produced better
things than that ("Lawyers"); men and
women. We are cosmopolitan they come
from every corner and are broadened,
strengthened and refined and new species
of man is brought a Nebraskan." The
speaker concluded with a prediction of the
election of Mr. Webster and a tribute to
William J. Bryan, "who Is furnishing Ne
braska orators In the courts .of kings."
In introducing Judge Barnes, Toast
master John L. Kennedy said:
"We approach the aupremo court with
respect and with doubt. If I am not mis
taken, however, every decision of the su
preme court has stood as the law of the
state until the papers were filed for re
hearing. 'Let us repose secure under the
shade ot a learned, impartial and trusted
magistracy, and we shall need no more,'
reads the quotation for this toast. What a
beautiful thought, dream: but how any
one could dream In relation to our supreme
court I cannot Imagine. Judge Barnes has
been hanging on the outside of the court
and now has got Inside he had before
work and no responsibility; now he will
have responsibility and no work. But I
congratulate the Judge on his election, and
I congratulate the bar that one of the big
gest men In the state will sit on its bench."
Judge Barnes, In reply, told how the su
preme court commission had reduced the
docket from 1.070 cases to 300, and credited
the bar association with having been the
means of Its creation. He promised reforms
In future, due to less pressure of business,
and was much applauded.
Judge N. D. Jackson followed with the
toast, "Reminiscences." and greatly amused
the attorneys with his stories of the legal
vlsslcltudes of some years ago. He was
roundly applauded.
Van Devanter's Trlbate.
'We now come to the last and greatest
subject," said Mr. Kennedy, " 'the United
States.' There Is no greater subject and the
United States was never so great as now.
Mr. Circuit Judge Van Devanter on the
United States." The speaker said In part:
'Great has been my enjoyment at being
hero with you tonight, and I know of but
one thing which has grated on my feelings.
That Is that I have heard the word poli
tician used aa if It were In some way a re
proach. Gentlemen, In a county auch as
ours every man should be a politician. It
mik'i no difference whether or not he

the primaries don't go right It Is because
not enough of. you are politicians; if on
election day the lawyers get out to lead the
people, as they should and generally do.
It la to the benefit of us all; If the consti
tutions of the states are not calculated to

t-eeaiiee the lawyers didn't do their best;
If the statutes adopted by the legislature are

THREE DIFFERENT STORIES
ConfllotlaaT Versions Olven to Vollce
f Alleged Holdap oa West
Firiam Street.
Charles Johnson, an American District
Telegraph messenger boy, throws light on
the alleged holdup of John Boyd and John
Kinney at Fortieth and Farnam streets
Friday night. The boy related this story to
Officer Moore:
"I was delivering a package In the vicin
ity of Fortieth and Farnam streets that
evening, and when I went In to leave the
parcel I placed my wheel against the fence.
One of the men took It and would not give
it back, so I hit him with a brick."
When taken to the station Friday night
Boyd was suffering from a bruised face.
Boyd and Kinney say their home is in
Hawthorne, la.
A. M. Hall of Twenty-aeventh and Far
nam streets alio casta a ray of light on
tbs affair, which, however, does not dis
tinctly show up the participants and atill
leavea the Iowana somewhat In the dark. '
'I waa walking by a saloon," said Mr.
Hall, "on the north side or rarnam. near
the scene of the alleged holdup, and there
I saw two young fellows standing In front
of the saloon where the lights from the
Interior shed its beams over their persons,
nd I noticed that they had a bunch of
bills which they were counting."
'That looks pretty good to me, boys.
said Mr. Hall. "I wish I had some of It
Well, that wouldn't be a hard matter,"
said the young fellowa. "All you have to
do Is to go over there a little waya and
plcla it up from the sidewalk. That's how
we got this."
In pointing the boys directed Mr. Hall to
a spot where the alleged holdup Is supposed
to have occurred. Mr. Hall thougnt noth
ing more about the matter until this morn
ing, when news of the holdup was an
nounced. Tha polloe station received a telephone
message about o'clock last evening that
a daring holdup had been committed at
Tblrty-nfth and Farnam streets. A squad
of detectives was hastily summoned to
tha scene and found John Kinney in a
drug store at Thlrty-flrst and rarnam
with an ugly tcalp wound and John Boyd
at a pharmacy at Fortieth and Farnam
with his eyes and face terribly pummeled.
The two men were brought to police head
quarters where they told a conflicting story
of an alleged holdup.
Kinney said he and Boyd arrived from
Hawthorne, la , last Wednesday and had
started to walk to South Omaha last even
lag when they were stopped at Thlrty-flfth
end Farnam by two men who took their
money, after Inflicting the wounds. .Kin
ney stated that he was relieved of about
in. and that ha and Boyd put up a stiff
flc.it.
Boyd said he had no recollection of being
with Kinney after their meeting at the
White Fiont aaloon In the afternoon, but
he stoutly maintained that he was held
up by two men on Weet Farnam street

You may oil and rub, adjust and repair a wenk
engine. It will never be stronger or do itn work

And so with the vital organs. Doctor them as
you will. That's mere repairing. Permanent
cures never come save through treating the nerves
that operate those organs.
And that my Restorative does.
After almost a lirctlmo of labor of study at

discovery. I found a way to trent, not the organs

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. . The principal
leaders of two wings of the democratic
party of Philadelphia were brought to
gether last night by the Old Hickory club,
which gave a dinner In celebration of Jack
son day. Democrats of prominence
throughout the state and several members
of congress were present. Letters of re
gret were read from former President
Cleveland, United States Senators Mc
Creary of Kentucky and Tillman of South
Carolina, D. B. Hill and W. Bourke Coch
ran. Mr. Cleveland's letter was dated De
cember 20 and stuted that other engage
ments prevented his attetidunco. Mr. Cleve
land wrote: ,
Of course I need not tell you how fully
I am In sympathy with tho objects and pur
poses of the club and how lully I lellove
111 the usefulness of iis efforts In the cuuse
ot true democracy.
Mr. Hill in his letter said:
The bent interests of the country require
a change of administration. The people
want nanlty rather than hysteria In I ho
management of public affair; stability
rather than fickleness; honorable diplo
macy rither than International Intrigue;
atralght forwardness, rather thun fuklr
Ism, and honesty rather than em Tuition.
With wise counsels, live Issues, conserva
tive candidates and unity of action the
democracy can win tho contest of IM.
Senator Tillman In sending his regrets
said:
Tillman on the Party.
Dear Sir The aentiment which I would
propose the -democrats who will honor the
memory of Jackson at the banquet Friday
next would be this:
The democratic party will live as long
as It deserves to snd will command the
support of a majority of the people when
It ahull demonstrate Its adherence to the
grand prlnelplee of the fathers. When we
stand for the people and their rlghta In a
manner ao unmiatakable that they cannot
feel jr4l."
be milled the people will support the party
In preference to any other. The two wines
of the party mum "flap together' if we
are to make any progres. We must ignore
past dlffureucea on manors of policy, out
no oamllJi'to cn succeed who Is obnoxious
to tho outh und woxt. Just UH III) 1 1111(11
dute has succeeded who hus been obnoxious
to the east. We must llnd a man who can
commnnd the respect and loyal support
of all patriots and with such a man we
will win because the times are threaten
ing and all conservative men, without re-
Sard to party, will support such a canUl

any electoral votes. Let them not under

Yours very truly, B. R. TILLMAN.
Duckworth Club Sleirlx.
CINCINNATI, Jr.11. .-The feature of
Jackson day banquet given by the Duck
worth club here ".nut nlsht was tho address
of Judge Judson Harmon, attorney general
under tho second Cleveland administration.
Judge Harmon was given a reception In the
clubrooms previous to the banquet and was
received with demonstrations throughout
the evening. Among the other speakers of
the evening were M. K. Ingalls, president
of tho Big Four railway; Braxton Camp
bell, Max B. May, Clarence J. Neare, Max
Unldsmith and Judge Aaron McNeil. To
hundred platen were laid. Judge Harmon
rpoke lu part aa follows:
Of late years the republican politicians
have set up the clelm that it Is their man
agement of public affairs which maku good
times, and so they must be kept lu control
If aood times are to continue.
This new humbug worked nicely for u
while. But a year ao, In spite of tho suc
cess of the republicans in the conj;rt "Monul
elections, some of th clouds and nilnbown
which had been capitalized and put oft" on
the people began to vanish. Batiks fulled
here and there, trade combination tt'ppled,
fear and distrust began to stalk about.
And not a democrat In power anywhere to
lay It nn. 80 niHtters have gone on ever
since until Mr. Hanna, the chief apostle of
party-made prpp-rity. haa announced that
all this Is due to "natural cause..." A
country which Is governed through parties
Is In a' bad way when it has only him partv
which can be truhted. 1 believe the people
are now turning onco more to tho demo
crats for relief from extravagance. The
unfairness and the undcpenableneHs of the
prevent administration, and the brag and
pretense slill employed to mixlead them
should be punctured once for nil by the
plain facts. All we ask Is to be Judged by
those facts In the coming campaign. It Is
ralfe that entrusting I lie domocratle parly
with power is or ever was a menace to the
prosperity of the country. The democratic
Idea of "what constitutes true jiroBperlty
differs from that of some of Its opponents.
It Is an old-fashioned Idea, If you choose to
put It so, but it Is founded on the precepts

as Is that of Mr. Ball, albeit congratula
tions upon what Is regarded as a step for
