Loral dealers of both the republican and
democratic parties have arranged for meet
Ings to ba held today and on Monday night.
While the big rally at Workmen temple
Friday night practically closed Uio cam
paign aa far aa concentrated mcetlnga are
concerned, there will be meetings by the
republicans In nearly every Ward In the
city Monday night. Mayor' Koutaky and
Treaaurer Howe appeared confident yester
day that there would be no failure of their
friend to rally to their aupport on election1
day.
One republican leader In talking about
matter lat night aald: "Tha prospects
never looked brighter for tha election of
the republican ticket. In fact, a election
day come nearer tho appearance are that
the entire ticket wltl be elected. Koutaky
la making a great campaign. Bo 1 Mr.
Howe, City Attorney Murdock and espe
cially Thomaa J. O'Nell. Tha balance of
the candidate are working hard too, and
It would not aurprtae the republican city

bottom waa elected," ,
James 11. Bulla, one of the political man
ager of the democratic campaign, is
quoted a aaylng the Induction of Ed John
ton Into the campaign ha caused a. big
alump In Iloctor vote. Another story 1
that Johnston haa been around soliciting
money to aid Hoctor in hi campaign, the
understanding being that If Hoctor I
elected Johnston la to remain In South
Omaha and be tha political head of tho
party. A representative of one of tha labor
unions, who ia a democrat, made the ass, r
Uon yesterday afternoon that Hoctor had
made a big mistake by engaging Johnston
to manage hi campaign for him. This
labor leader called attention to Jthe time
In 18M when Johnston was mayor and i
atrlke Was on at the packing house.
"The men at the packing housee," con
tlhued this labor leader, "went on a Strike
for the purpose of securing an adjustment
of wage. What did Johnston do? He, as
mayor, called upon the governor for soldier
and at hi request a galling gun waa
planted at the foot of N street for the
purpose of Intimidating laboring men. Since
that time Johnston ha been known among
laboring men a 'Catling dun Johnston.
iJo you think the laboring classes are going
to elect a man to the office of mayor who
1 to be dictated to by such a man as
Johnston? Not much."
Arrangements are all made for the open
Ing of election booths at S a. m. on the
morning cf April 5. The polls for the city
ticket will close at 7 p. ni. In voting for
the bond, however, the announcement has
been made that no votes on the county
bond proposition will be received after
o'clock. All Judges and clerks of election
vvlil be notified of this law.
Tho Fire and Police board held a special
meeting Friday night and directed Chief
tiriggs to notify all liquor dealers to keep
their places of business closed during the
hours that the poll are open. Twelve ie
vial policemen were appointed to assist the
regular force and sue to It that the order
of the board are carried out. Secretary
Uergquist uld there, would, be no foolish
ness about the saloon closing order. The
chief, he said, hud been given Instruction
and with the men at hi command the
board expected to maintain the best of
order on .election day.
I.eagae Endorse O'Nell.
The Taxpayers' league of South Omaha
has come out solid for Thomas J. O'Nell
for tax commissioner. This Is what the
league haa to say of Mr. O'Nell:
He has been actively' engaged In the real
estate business In our city for the past
seventeen years and by reason thereof Is
well end fittingly qualltled to value and
assess the property of our cltlsens,
lie haa advocated and la now In fsvor
of the present assessment of corporations
and his standing ns a citizen Is a guar
antee against a return to the old system
of favoritism to special Interests.
Mr. O'Nell Is a home owner, a business
man and taxpayer.
He has paid In taxes for the support of
our city government more than J2.000. whllo
the opposing candidate. Thomas O'Connor,
owns no real estate whatever In his own
name, and paid no taxes at all. prior to
his nomination, and but 96 cent since hi
nomination.
We believe that the office of tax com
minsloner is a taxpayer's office and I of
more Importance to our property holding
cltlsens than sny other office to be filled
at the present election.

Fltsgernla Defends Himself.
SOUTH OMAHA, April I, l04.-To the
Editor of The Bee: On the evening or
March Rl, last. Thomss O'Connor, candi
date for tax commissioner of 8oUth Omaha,
In an address to a public meeting held In
the Ancient Order of United Workmen
Temple, made the following statement re
garding the writer:
Three months after he (Mtigerald) was
elected tax commissioner he bought prop
erty for fa.000. This money did not fall
down, nor come up through the ground. In
a day. I don't know how he got It, but
I know he did not get It honestly.
I was elected tax commissioner In April,
1901. The building permit, as shown by
the city records, for the house referred to
was taken out by me December 6, 1900,
and was completed February 10, 1901, which
was prior to the passage of the law creat
Ing the office of tax commissioner. The
mortgage records of this county show that
this house and lot was on the 13th day
of December, 1900, mortgaged for $1,709,
and that this mortgage remained. unsatis
fied and unpaid until the property was :
sold by me on April to, 1901. This mort-1
gage, can be found In book 257, at page B19.
The mortgage records show that my pres
ent home, at Twenty-fifth and C streets,
was mortgaged April 30. 1903, for $2,000,
which mortgage Is recorded In book 307, st
page SIS, and Is at the present time unpaid.
These public records conclusively show
that the statements made concerning me
by O'Connor are not only vicious, tut wil
fully false. If I had obtained or received
money dishonestly while In office, why the
necessity of the present large mortgage
upon my home? Again, why should the
corporation pay me any sum of money
when my assessment of them made them
pay, during the three year of my term,
$104,000 more taxes than they paid for the
three years prior to my term of office?
Or, In other words, these corporations have
paid more city taxes during my term of
office thsn they paid for the twelve years
before I assessed them. If Mr. O'Connor
was not Judgment proof, he Would not dare
to wilfully slander me, or any other man,
but In doing so he hides behind his Irre
sponsibility. In execution docket M, at page 242, of
the Judgment records of this county, there
stands a Judgment of $698.08 against O'Con
nor and In favor of the Omaha Brewing as
sociation, and In docket No. K, at page
Kit, there Is an unsatisfied Judgment
against him and In favor of the Fairbanks
Morse company of $204. $1.
.. I have resided 'n this city fifteen years,
nine of which 1 was employed by the
Omaha Packing company, and for six
years I have oeen secretary of the South
Omaha Loan and Building association. I
have lost no time In these years, have
saved my earnings, and have been temper
ate. As a result, there are no Judgments
against me, and I believe that both my
standing as a cltlsen and my record In
public office will impeach O'Connor In
his work of slander. Tour very truly,
JAMES F. FITZGERALD.
Clerk's Monthly Statement.

CARL REITER'S OWN BIG SHOW
Asaatear Night at Orphensa a Howling
Bneeeas In F.very Fnr
tlcalar. Manager Carl Relter provided Orpheum
ltes with a home-made show after the
regular bill Saturday night. The fact that
he had noised It about aa an extraordinary
event unanimously agreed to served to
draw an lmmenae audience. The audience
was Just about as wise a the projector
as to what was coming, ana prognosis
would have been Just about a useful, with
the exception ot two or three acts, as
some of the war correspondents are on the
Russian-Japanese situation at present.
Butts, the plckanlnnte. Initiated the spell
with buck and wing dancing that was
meritorious. Maud Bolster, a mis in her
teeens, contributed Jig dancing. La
Petite Freddie, a small boy belonging to
the Werner-Amoros troupe of professionals
showed some clever acrobatics for one so
young. Bear and Pain, the namea tell
about all that needs be said of their efforts
as fun-makers. , Brader brothsrs did a
song and dance In black face. Dolly Dut-
ton would be a good testimonial for any
and all the nerve compounds ever con
cocted. She was announced as Marguerite
of "Faust" fame and proceeded to chas
tlse poor old "Bedella" In a voice that she
would do well to rent out for a long term
of years. Then she danced. After the sue
ceedlng six acls, she returned or a second
innings, but the audience could not agree
with her and made their exit while deliv
ering cat calls.
Lyon and Atkins tried to tell some Jokes,
but must have been taken with the Idea
someone wanted to steal their humor, and
whispered only to each other. Mason and
Born, two little colored lads, sang two
songs In sweet childish voices that won
the sympathy of the audience. Willie Ir
ving did some "coon" shouting and pro
ceeded to give an Imitation of a southern
darky going craiy, and Injustice to his act
It might be aald the Journey for the young
man Is not a long one. Walker and Pierce,
two dude ushers of the Orpheum ataff,
showed good taste In the brevity of their
turn. John Martin contributed an old style
song and dance. A stage hand ventured to
place his trouble In the frosting of hi
pipes. Lillian McKane, a cute little miss
of about t years old, performed funny
dance, very creditably. If anyone re
mained to the big amateur show in hope
of beholding the sublime they would have
been sadly disappointed, but the ridiculous
waa roost sought after, and In justice to
the intentions It must be admitted the
goods were delivered.

Subscription on the completion fund ot
the auditorium now totals $16,360. Last
week was a good one for the auditorium
and the rustling done by the executive
committee shows in the results. The S100

derstanding that when $30,000 had been
reached contracts would be let for the
roof, windows, doors and flooring of the
building and that It would be made ready
by June 1. The executive committee feels,
however, that It will be better to push on
the subscriptions to $30,000 or $36,000 and
so end the matter at once, and get all the

Forty-six democrats, forty of whom pro
test against the maintenance of the silver
plank in the democratic platform, met In
Arcanum hall Saturday night and organ
ised the Democratic Success league. Reso
lutions setting forth the particular tenets
of the organisation were adopted and Fred
H. Coagrove, who presided, elected presl
dent; H. Q. Moorehead. secretary, and W.
M. Oilier, treasurer.
Considerable debate was had over the
resolutions which were submitted by Dr
A. H. Hippie, and looked upon as embody
ing the views of the Herdman leadership.
The name of Judge Alton B. Parker aa a
candidate was greeted with applause. Dr.
A. H. Hippie In a speech accused Bryan of
tying up with Hearst In order to secure the
reaffirmation of the Kansas City platform.
He said Bryan had told a prominent
Omaha democrat that he waa confident the
Bt. Louis convention would reaffirm the
platform In its entirety snd he would be
enabled to carry through this cherished
plan by the co-operation of Tom Johnson
snd Hearst and their delegates. Then,
said Dr. Hippie, Bryan had advised demo
crats, through the Commoner, to Instruct
their delegates; otherwise the delegates
would vote for such men as Cleveland,
Olney, Oormun, Hill or Parker, 'conspicu
ously excluding Hearst. A recent letter
by Bryan published in the New York
World, the speaker declared a precursor to
open espousal of the Hearst cause.
Load Cry for Harmony.
The resolutions, adopted by a standing
vote, set forth the necessity of ascertaining
the "will" of the party at the primaries
ifter discussion and that it is believed the
cardinal question before the party is
whether or not the next national platform
shall declare In favor of the free' coinage
of silver at 16 to 1 ratio; declares that the
league favors neither reorganize nor dis
organizes but in the long-expressed tenet
that the will of the party should bevsu
preme; favors sending to the national con
vention only such men a supported Bryan
In 1896 end 1900; favors unlnstructed na
tional delegates; encourages sending Mr.
Bryan as a delegate-at-large and for a
place on the resolutions committee there;
booms John J. Sullivan for vice president
and invites the co-operation of all demo
crats to the attainment of the ends cata
logued. Among those present were Frank

XT Tr VAov i nxii a rn-.wlt x tt'i k
today delivered an address on the subject,
Is There a Solution for the Labor Quea-
tlon," before the League for Political Ed
ucation. Mr. Wright said' that while many
remedies for labor troubles had been sug
gested all had proved fallible. Law ha
always failed.' , .
"In right action or a practical religion
we find the highest forma of a solution yet
offered. Next to this comes constructive
evolution, that evolution which believe
In the potency of effort. The economic man
is growing Into the co-ordinate man. We
are to have a new law of wages, a nw
political economy grown out of religious
thought. The old struggle waa for exist
ence; the new struggle la for a wider spir
itual margin.
"Man' average of cenduct is not better
than his character. His treatment of his
fellows Is consistent with hi sense of Jus
tice. Religion forecasts the social destiny
of men. There Is to be a continual struggle,

KING EDWARFSNEW SILK HAT
It Will Be of Special Model and No
One F.lae Can Wear tho
Pattern.
(Copyright by New York Herald Co.. 1904.)
LONDON, April S.-tNew York Herald
Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee.)
After recently describing other portion
of the king's wardrobe, a London news
paper now tells of tha hats his majesty
will wear this season.
Silks will predominate, although almost
every variety of head covering was com
prehended in the order thst the king gave
Just before leaving for Copenhagen. Tha
style of silk hat chosen this year will be seen
on none but the royal head. The hat will
have a broader brim, with a well accentu
ated curl, a deeper crown and a little
more bell than that on the hats ever worn
by his majesty, who has what Is known to
hatters as a "good head." His majesty
take seven and one-eighth. Even If It
were possible for the ordinary citlsen to
obtain the goods and the style of the silk
hat, the probability Is he could not wear it.
Not one man In 10,000 could wear It satis
factorily, for It Is believed that, built on
special lines, with careful regard to the
king's exceptional breadth of shoulders,
consideration of face and appearance gen
erally, It would never do for anyone else.

It is difficult to say where the first big
lnnil battle will take place. The Russian
seem to be In force between Llao Yang and
Kalping on the Mnnchurla railroad. They
may cross the mountains and possibly meet
us st the Yalu.
Bridges and roads north of An Ju have
been destroyed by the Russian troops and
therefore the Japanese advance will be
difficult. It is n difficult matter to fight a
nation with 3.000,000 soldiers. We have to
lay our plans very carefully.
There is no doubt that the Coesack cav
alry will worry the Japanese army, which
was originally intended for home defense
In the mountainous country and Is mainly
composed of lnfuntr). AVe must work with
lie material we possess. When the' Japa
nese army ia compared with other armies
it must be remembered that it only has
been lately organized. I had no small share
in its organisation and therefore I see its
faults and try to Improve it, but never
find it reaches my ideal.

ties here were considerably aroused today
by the arrival of a press boat Indiscreetly
