Preparing for Burial.
Many df the bodies have been removed
from the morgues to their former placsa
of abode and preparations for burial begun.
Hundreds of people are still passing
through the morgues this morning,, some
with morbid curiosity, others seeking to
Identify the remaining bodies, The death
loss tf Pueblo alone reaches the top figure
in lta history, now given at sixty-five
lives, with forty Identifications already
made. At ' the scene of the wreck early
today everything was practically the same
as yesterday, the chair car turned com
pletely over, has settled In the quicksand
until only the wheels are now visible and
has resisted all efforts to right It or gain
an entrance to what la thought to have
been a trap In which may be found sev
eral bodies.
Mayor Brown has Insucd a -proclamation
calling a publlo meeting at ( o'clock this
morning for the purpose of launching an
organised movement to patrol the Fountain
and Arkansas rivers In the hope' of finding
more bodies of victims of the wreck. Hun
dreds of men responded promptly and the
work was taken up under the direction of
able ofNoers, assisted by more than willing
workers. .

MICE RECORDS SHOW PEACE
Prove Strikers' Assortions that Thej An
Hot Courting Disorder.
FEWER ARRESTS THAN IS ORDINARY
galoeaa Will Be Made to Close
at Klac O'eloelt aV Might During
the rrosrrni ot the '
Strike.
TWIthln the last few days reports of a
number of eases of disturbing the peace
and of nssault and battery have reached
the publlo through the prea and otherwise
and to some extent the public has been led
to believe that rioting and tllsorder pre
vailed throughout the city," said a police
officer. "8uch la not the case, v as enn be
proven by the records at police headquar
ters. A comparison of the Jail blotter for
twenty days In July, 1908, and nine daya In
August of the same year with the same per
iod of time this year akows that fewer ar
rests have been made for disorderly conduct
this year with the strike on than last
year when the packing houses were work
ing with full forces bf men. The arrests
tor drunkenness have not increased this
year since the strike, neither have arrests
for carrying concealed weapons Increased
any."
Up to within three or four days ago the
police had but little to do, but some dis
turbances have occurred of late, none, how
ever, of a serious nature. Of course since
the strike began every occurrence In tha
disorderly line' has been laid at the door
of the strikers. Labor leaders declare this
Is unjust, as the strikers are restraining
themselves remarkably well. Even the
leadera admit that a few disturbances have
occurred ' In which strikers were ; Impli
cated. strikers Ignore Breakers.
Not a particle of attention la now paid
by the strikers to the arrival here of strike
breakers. The cars are still run to the
packing houses under guard, but to a great
extent the strikers utterly Ignore the non
union men and make no effort to Induce
them to refrain from entering the plants.
' Independent plants are beginning to cut
quite a figure In the strike and the state
ment Is made that when the strike is over
the packers will have to go to work to
drive the Independent plants out of busi
ness. In this the packers stem to realise
that they have quite a proposition before
them. But the packers declare they will
nevr agree to a settlement with the Amal
gamated association, but will run open
plants hereafter. The strikers vehemently
assort that they will never return to work
until the union is recognized and they , are
taken back in a body.
There was considerable excitement at
Thirty-third and Q streets about 6 o'clock
last evening, when some strike breakers
left the Cudahy plant for their boarding
houses. Several hundred union men gath
ered on Q street and hooted the nonunion
man aa they passed by No violence was
attempted,, tha police handling the large
crowd very nicely.
Chief of Police Briggs "pent nearly all
of Tuesday afternoon In notffylng saloon
keepers to close their places of business
at 9 p. m. every night until further orders.
Liquor dealers ea-st of the tracks resent
this order, as many declared their places
were not frequented by strikers and that
they should not be made to suffer .for tb
omissions of others. Many liquor dealers
called upon Chairman Masson of the police
board during the day ' to ! remonstrate
against the order', but Mr. Masson rei
malned firm and said that the t o'clock
closing plan would bar tried, for a tjme
regardless of protests. , .
The three' republican members of the
police board think now Is the time to put
a check to the selling of liquor after 9
o'clock in order to assist the small police
force in every way to maintain order. In
caaa the 9 o'clock closing does not bring
about the desired result, a 7 o'clock closing
order is to be Issued, so It is reported.
"Belling beer In cans must stop,'1 say
tho commissioners, "and also- the aale of
liquor to Intoxicated persons."
Out of 2,100 cattle received Tuesday the
packers purchased 1,651 head. 'As com
pared with August 9 of last year the
cattle receipts here show a decrease of
83,243 head. This deficit will, it Is stated,
soon be made Up when tho strike is set
tled and the range cattje commence to
come. . .
Strikers Still Confident.
Tha strike la Just four weeks old and the
men who walked out July 12 are Just as
confident of winning now aa ' they were
then, in fact, the labor organizations aa
a whole feel stronger at the end of tha
four weeks' fight than when entering upon
it
Hundreda of. people gathered at the re
lief store on Q street yesterday and
supplies were rapidly Issued. Tho.w em
ployed In the store- are getting accustomed
to the work and now handle the crowd
with considerable rapidity. ,
By order of the police board the saloon
of "Dlack Jack," Thirty-third and L, and
of Frank Skrupa, on Thirty-third. Just
north of L. have been closed and will re
main closed until the strike Is ended. The
police have had so many complaints from
these two places that It was deemed best
to stop further violations of order by clos
ing them. Other saloons where violations
are suspected are being closely watched
and will be closed If thera is any cause
for complaint.
Packers Again In Court.
The attorneys for the packers have filed
a motion in the United State circuit court
for the commitment of J. Hlckey. Joseph
Spevak, John Homely, Dan Dady e.nd
Peter Hansen for violation of the injunc
tion order bisucd by Judge Hunger In at
tacking and assaulting a strike breaker
named Edward Rodda. The hearing on the
motion has been, continued to Friday morn,
ing. August 11, owing to tha absuuue ot
Judge Munger from the city.
Coopers Are Firm.
BOUTH OMAHA. Aug. .-To tha Editor
of The Bee! In a press dispatch of Aug
ust 9 there appeared a statement that 200
coopers bad returned to work In the pack
ing houses of Bt. Joseph, Ma. As mem
bers of the Coopers' International union,'
wa ara in a position to say that the state
ment Is false as there are but forty-two
coopers In Bt. Joseph all told, and aa far
as going hack to work la concerned, that
ia also false, and is only a scheme by the
packers to cause a break In our ranks.
For the benefit of the publlo we will say
that we are In direct communication with
the coopers of the different packing cent

AO DEMOCRATS , FOR TIBBl.ES
If There Is Any Fusion la This State
I It Mast Be on Pops.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 9. (Special.) During the
day the popullsta' representing the Tibbies
brand put up a big talk and held out for
ftralght populist electors, wrrn no Holcomb.
fir. Tibbies told it' thai his element would
control two-thlnda vo the populist conven
tion and that the democrats would no
longer be In control of the populist party.
On the other hand, a few of the democrats
whispered around pmong themselves that
Mr. Tibbies would be given a good spank
ing unless he was. good.
Tibbies atlll proteseed. to believe that the
letters he had received from out In the
state from populists offering to bolt with
him would bind tho writers, while at the
same time a member of the populist com
mittee waid he had received letters from
out, In the state and that the rank and file
of the party was for fusion.
Frank D. Eager expressed .himself
as desiring two electoral tickets un
less the' democrats" would endorse
Wabson and Tibbies. , "The only
question Is," he said. ""Which way would
get out the most rate'. Of course. If we
had two' electoral tickets' It might atart up
a rivalry between the two parties and thui
bring out a number 'of votes. But then If
Watson and TlbOles electors .were chosen
It might be better.' We have not yet fig
ured out which la tha better plan."
Mr. Bryan spent : touple Of hours yes
terday In consultation; with Tibbies; He Is
reported .acbbelttgo-agalnst tha Watebn
Tlbblea electors, buj, na..'!! favor fusion
oa the electors .. . ,. .
Ehr Want Allen.
Frank V. Eager late this afternoon still
expected to . land his ticket announced
through the press several daya ago. It
waa W. V. . Allen , pr governor, W. H.
Thompson for attorney general and Dr.
Lyman of Hastings' 6r treasurer. ' Owing
to his strenuous work late this evening
,there was certalniyr a strong sentiment
among the few delegates here for Allen
and his pushers say there Is no doubt but
that he would accept- the nomination were
It tendered him. Of course the popullsta
do not believe that Thompson would want
to b the candidate for attorney general,
but they Intend to try to nominate Allen
and if he Is forced to take the place they
will urge tho democraU to draft Thomp
son. From a standpoint of personal' friend
ship Eager would prefer . to have O. W.
Berge nominated, but he -is of the opinion
that Senator Allen would make the bet
ter race because he. Is better known. Mr.
Thompson failed to reach here during the
day, but ho was reported coming In with
R. D. Sutherland of Nuckolls county, and
his arrival was certainly awaited with
much interest by bo(h popullsta and dem
ocrats. Allen's stock waa boosted by a delegate
from Otoe county. J. H. Moran, this after
noon. Moran announced that hla delega
tion was for Allen. ... . .
Up to supper time, however. Congressman
Shallenberger waa still a strong man In
the race. He Is her loaded with a speech
that la expected to stampede the democrats
unless things, are . set, against hlrn too
strong. A number of prominent populists
have been requested to make no nomina
tions until Shallenberger shall have spoken.
One democrat assured them that his speech
wouUj be a revelation In a democratic con
vention and (hat It would not have the
Parker-Davia frills.
A number of democrat are atlll talking
Judge Holcomb and ha Is still feared by
the popullsta more than any other candi
date Just because in an Interview he said
something about Parker being an right
. pne democrat who' wants Judge Holcomb
nominated said ha fWas In favor of the
democrats selecting Holcomb and Thomp
son and give the populists their choice. A
conspicuous figure In the delegates ia J. H.
Ager.
Other Candidates.
Not so Very much talk was heart) todoy
about candidates tor ' other offices. In
fact, not a name was' mentioned for several
of. the offices. Will Maupln really worked
all day to be the nominee for secretary
of state, and this office had more calls
than any other. Opposed to Maupln Is
R. E. Watzke, a democrat of Humbolt.
and Teai of ( Webster, Watzke will un
doubtedly be endorsed by the populists If
ha Is nominated by the democrats and aa
he la a traveling man he seems to be the
Choice of most of tha dulegatese who are
here and especially the leuders. Blrss of
Jefferson county Is also mentioned for
this place, but so far he has cut little Ice.
Dr. Lyman, a former republican and at
one time treasurer of Adams county; seems
to have the call for treasurer. He will
neither be called a democrat or a populist,
but will be named by the fusion aggrega
tion aa an "anti-corporation republican."
Platform,
The populist platform will endorse their
national platform and than take L few
pokes at the state administration and a
few otbt-r tilings. It will be In substance
like the resolution Introduced by Frank
D. Eager at the Lancaster county conven
tion. . The prominent democrats here d-ny that
they have any drafts of platform In their
pockets and all say that the platform will
be made in the convention. Edgar Howard
came In this afternoon and he also denied
that he had the reeolutlona
"It will be agulust the government," said
AUGUST 10, 1904.
Mr. Howard, "you can depend on that. It
will also endorse rarker and Davis, and
you can r-ly on-thnt. We democrats are
for Parker and we. Intend to have Parker
electors on the ticket."
To Contest De-te-gatea.
The pop convention will be enlivened with
a number of contests If there Is nothing
else to do the business. From the office of
Mr. Tibbies has gone forth the word that
not a man can sit In the populist conven
tion who Is In any way tainted with de
mocracy or who has In recent niontha
affiliated with democrats other than In the
manner endorsed by populist conventions.
At last a half dozen counties have sent
In delegatea who are democrats and the!
are all sletcd to go over the transom.
Late this afternoon two delegate from
Jefferson county applied to the office of
Mr. Tibbies for a clean bill. They had
been drafted by tha democfata and sent to
Omaha to the democratic convention, and
they did not want to be barred from the
Lincoln circus. They were given letters of
character by Secretary De France of the
national committee, who afterwards es
corted them to Mr. Tibbies, who approved
of the action. ,
"I want you to meet these men," said
Mr. De France, "so that you will know
that If they are thrown out of the conven
tion you will be throwing out two good
populists."
Mr. Tibbies Jh sgnlnet anything that
looks like democracy creeping Into hla con
vention and he makes no bones about say
ing so. " "We do not Intend to have any
Kansaa convention here," he said, "and if
any democrats expect to hold down a del
egate's seat In the populist convention he
will certainly be thrown out."
Committee to Meet.
Tomorrow morning members of the pop
ulist national committee will hold a meet
ing here and an effort will bo made to have
Lincoln chosen as the headquarters of the

Johnny Matter Here).
Among tha distinguished democrats who
mingled with the .throng tonight at the
hotel was Colonel John Maher, suddenly
transformed from a court reportet1 to a na
tional character. Tha fact that Colonel
Maher had his picture taken with Parker,
Hill and Murphy has c?ud hla Nebraska
fellows to realize that John Vaher 'a some
pumpkins also In tha east. John's achieve
ment In bringing Hill and Murphy together
in one picture, a thing that was never done
before, haa mode him a power even in
New Tork and it haa made him a power
here. There are few democrats but who
believe that when It comes to naming post
masters should Mr. Parker hare the nam
ing, that Colonel John Mahr, martyr, will
have a hand. The deference paid to htm by
the delegates hera la certainly noticeable.
Charles Scott, who took the place mads
vacant by the dismissal of Mr. Maher, is
also here. He is vice chairman , of the
democratic stats committee. , .

One day tha Vest party found Itself In

Just come from a law school. The negro'
master employed him to defend the ac

win the case; The negro waa released.
Later ha confessed the crime and was
promptly lynched." Vast wa invited as
