rear moat, the sub-lieutenant withdrew his
force with a loss of two men.
Later In the night the advanced position
of the Japanese was taken and retaken
twice. The besiegers succeeded in holding
the approaches and constructing trenches
connecting them with the army's front
parallel. At dawn numbers of dead were
visible on the alopes. Fort P, north of the
new and old batteries In the left center
of the line of defense, waa captured by
the severe fighting of tha night. Theae

Twenty-Sixth Street Almost
Total I.oaa.
The two-story frame structure at 2002.
4 nnd 6 North Twenty-Flxth street waa
partially gutted by fire at S:30 o'clock last
evening. The estimated los to the build
ing and contents ia figured at ISOOO, divided
between William B. Wood, owner of the
building. C. W. Shrader, who conducts two
storca on the ground floor, Detlef Tuckson,
manager of a meat market and sausage
factory In the north store, and W. B.
Armatage and William Owens, who occupy
two of the npartments on the second floor.
With the exception of the Armatage fam
ily, who lost nearly all of their house
hold effects, with no Insurance, the rest
of the losses are rractlcally covered by
Insurance.
The fire started In the rear of the south
store, occupied by C. W. Shrader. No one
could be found who. knew positively Just
how the blaie started, but Mr. Wood,
owner of the building, expressed It as his
opinion that the fire was due to the care
lessness of a lot of boys seen earHer In
the evening burning an accumulation of
dry leaves in a narrow passage way be
tween the Wood block ana an empty cot
tage on the west.
Mr. Shrader said: "I was In the store
at the time. One f my clerks opened tha
rear door and waa Immediately driven back
by a sheet of flame. That was the first
we knew of the flra.
The Wood block was built fifteen years
ago at a cost of $5,000. It Is Insured for
$3,000. Mr. Wood estimates that the build
ing haa been half destroyed. C. W. Shrader
carried a stock of groceries and general
merchandise to the amount of $3,700 In two
stores at the same location. His stock
is insured at $2.&u0. So far as could be
determined lust evening the salvage on
the Bharder stock will not be great.
Detlef Tuckson carried stock to the
amount of 11,000, this Including his sausagu
machlnea, butcher stock and his furniture
in the rear room. He estimates his loss at
7G0. fully Insured.
The living rooms upstairs were occupied
by W. B. Wood, the owner, W. B. Arma
tage and William Owens, the last men
tioned being away with his family until
after the fire waa over. A few household
effects wero saved here and there, but in
the main all the families were rendered
homeless.
The empty cottage at the west of the
Wood bu-ldlng waa slightly damaged by
aparks falling on the roof.
Hose companies Nos. 4, 10 and 11 and
truck No. 2 responded to the alarm.

WASHINGTON IS DESERTED
Nearly All Qualified Elector Have Gone
Home to Vote.
BETTING HEAVY AT NATIONAL CAPITAL
Odds Five to One on the Election of
Roosevelt nnd Two to One that
Republicans Carry New
York.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. A few hours
before the balloting In the presidential con
test finds the national capital practically j
deserted of qualified electors. From every
department of the government hundreds of
officials and clerks have gone home to vote,
embracing the opportunity afforded by the
election to take at least a part of their
annual leave. Among government employes
the Interest ia the contest has been greater
than In an 7 election for many years.
Only two members of the cabinet, Secre
taries Hay and Morton, are in tha city
tonight. On account of his henlth. Secre
tary Hay felt that he ought not to make
the trip to Ohio at this time and Secretary
Morton Is detained here by important busi
ness In the Navy department.
President ttoes to Oyster Bay,
Arrangements have been completed for
the president's trip to Oyster Bay, where
he goes to vote, as he does at every elec
tion. 'A special car for the accommodation
of the president and his party will be at
tached to the regular Pennsylvania railroad
train which leaves here for New York at
12:30. Mr, Roosevelt will be accompanied
by Secretary Ixeb and several White House
attaches, who also will vote at Oyster Buy.
Arriving at Jersey City at 7:15 tomorrow
moaning, the party will be conveyed across
New York In carriages to Long Island City,
where a special train will be in waiting to
take the party to Oyster Bay. The presi
dent will remain In Oyster Bay only long
enough to cast his ballot, returning to New
York In time to catch the 1:14 train for
Washington. The party is scheduled to
arrive here at 6:16 o'clock.
Returns from the election will be received
by the president at the White House. He
will have as bis guests such members of
the cabinet as may be in the city and a
few personal friends. In addition to the
returns received In the regular telegraph
and cipher bureau at the executive offices,
important messages and bulletins also will
be received In the president's library at
the White House. Special wires were
strung today connecting the main
office of the Western Union With instru
ments placed in the library and one of the
corps of operators in the executive tele
graph bureau will be on duty at the side
of the president Communication thus may
be had by the president with any city In
the country. National Chairman Cortelyou,
who will be at headquarters, will keep the
president and his friends advised as to the
returns as they are received.
Arrangements for Demonstration.
At the headquarters of ' the democratlo
congressional committee in the Rlggs
house Secretary Charlea A. Edwards will
receive the .returns from 'various states
and from democratic headquarters In New
York. Arrangements also have been com
pleted by the several democratic organiza
tions in the, city to receive the returns from
the Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies. All of the political organisa
tions have arranged demonstrations in the
event of the result coinciding with their
views. A big torchlight procession and a
serenade to President Roosevelt has been
projected by the republicans in the expec
tation of his election.
At the headquarters of both the republi
can and democratio parties tonight the ut
most confidence is expressed aa to tho out
look. This confidence is substantially ex
pressed in the betting on the result, which
haa been heavier In Washington than ever
has been known. The odds on the general
result are five to one in favor of Roose
velt and Fairbanks, but many wagers
have been made at shorter odds. The In
terest of bettors centers on New York and
large sums have been wagered on the re
sult In that state. Odds of two to ono
have been offered by republicans that
Roosevelt would carry his home state and
they hav& been accepted eagrly by demo
crats. Many bets hav4 been recorded on
the result also In Maryland and West Vir
ginia, but republican money Is as scarce
In the former state aa democratio money
is on the latter.
A final personal word from republican
and democratic leaders has been sought to
day by many people In Washington. As a
result National Chairman Cortelyou, Na
tional Chairman Taggart, William F. Shee
han, Charles F. Murphy and senators and
representative in congress from both pollt
fcal parties are being quoted wherever po
litical discussion may be In progress.
A characteristic letter was received here
today from Captain Beth Bullock of Dead
wood, 8. V., a personal friend of tho presi
dent, and one of the best known men in
the west. He writes:
The' political outlook In the went could
not be better. The president will carry
Colorado, Montana and Nevada, the three
states which we thought were doubtful.
There is no question about Wisconsin. The
majority in South Dakota will be between
So.OuO and 40.0U0.
Doer Mistaken for Burglar,
A burglar alarm call from 1108 Park ave
nue at 11 o'clock last night was responded
to by Officers Cook, Hudson. Vnnaus and
Baldwin. They found a little doir in ih
basement where the bold burglais were
said to be doing business.
HOWELL'S BACKERS I.
WIND up in;the BIG SIXTH
Republican Voters Close Their Cam
paign with a Good
Meeting;.
Sixth ward republicans held their last
meeting before the election In tdlewlld hall.
Twenty-fourth and Grant streets, last
evening. Major J. 8. Miller was one of
the principal speakers. On the national
question he nidced the voters to compare
the conditions which prevailed under Mo
Klnley, Cleveland and Roosevelt and then
see If any rational being could Vote the
democratic ticket. On the state ticket he
said:
"I have heard talk of voting for a change
because Mickey Is a Methodist. Well,
Berge Is as much of a Methodist as Mickey,
only he does not live up to It. Berge Is a
lawyer. If he wins a case he boasts of it
to every man he meets. If he loses a case
he won't speak to a man for a week. Now
what kind of a man Is that to be governor?
I have known them both for years. I see
absolutely nothing to be gained by a
change. It is the same of the legislative
ticket. A great many good things can be
said of Hitchcock. The same things can
be. said of Kennedy and he Is on the right
side to do something for Nebraska. All
we can get out of Hitchcock is garden
seeds."
The chair called fer an expression of
views on the electric lighting plant ques
tion. Major Miller said he was at first
opposed to the proposition, but he did not
seo how it would Increase the taxes.
"To my mind," he aaid, "it makes no
difference whether the taxpayer pays for
lighting the city or pays for a plant. You
are already taxed for lights. By putting
the money into a plant, economically and
honestly managed, you will acquire your
own plant and secure cheaper and better
light?. Cheaper llghta will reduce tho taxes
and Omaha would reap the benefits."
Edward F. Morlarlty said he believed in
buying the water works plant and getting
that proposition out of the way before the
question of a lighting plant Is taken up.
W. G. Ure did not like the bonding propo
sition, because It does not give the city
the right to build a plant which can furnish
light and power to individuals as well as
the city. He said the city pays $90,000 for
lights. "After paying $20,000 Interest on the
bonds," he said, "there would still remain
$70,000 for lights if the city bought a plant.
We are taxed for the street lights anyway.
My principal objection to bonding for a
lighting plant is that we are going to pay
$3,500,000 for a water plant anyway."
CHORAL SOCIETY GETS ROOM
Board of Education Will Allow Sinn
ers to Meet In Its Assembly
Hall Weekly. .
The school board last night granted per
mission to the Choral society to use the
assembly room In the city hall once a
week through the winter. Ben Stanley had
filed an application ffor such permission
and the majority of jthe committee mem
bers to whom it was referred reported
against letting the society have the room
because If the singers' had ft weekly other
societies could not be refused. It was
thought also it might . interfere with the
board's use of ths J. O, Dot welter
made a strong plea for' the society on tho
ground it is a great educational factor.
The board granted the permission on the
understanding the singers would pay all
the light, elevator and Janitor expense,
would relinquish the room for any night
when the board might want it and would
understand the board might end Its tenure
at any time.
The committee on claims reported the
following as proper and they were ap
proved: Teachers' salaries, $32,864.50; Jan
itors' pay, $3,231.76; superintendent of build
ings, $837.56; officers' arid clerks' pay,
$1,071.56. On building claims. T. R. Kimball
was allowed $600 for work on the Beals
school and Thomas Hurd, $3,434.55 on Mon
mouth school. McLeod and Stanley were
also allowed $307.90 and PrendergaBt Bros.
I $3,264 on the Beals schooL Of the total
j amount available for 1904 for buildings,
; which is $26,000, the board gave $15,000 for
the completion of Monmouth school and
t $10,000 to the Beals school fund. Members
of the board, with the building inspector,
will Inspect the former this week with the
view to Its early use.
The board appointed for the school board
election the same Judges and clerks ap
pointed by the county and city. Miss Zora
Shields was placed on the elected list of
high school teachers. Miss Mary M. Bauer
was given leave of absence for the rest of
the term. A communication was read from
Edwin H. Barbour, head of the state edu
cational exhibits at St. Louis, saying
Omaha had been granted two silver medals.
One of these is for the manual training
exhibit and the other for the graded school
work.

ROORBACKS COME IN BUNCHES
Omaha Faka FaoUriai Work Overtime to
Deceive Their Eeadsra.
-
SOME SAMPLES OF THEIR LATEST LIES
World-Herald and News Pill Columns
with Silly Fabrications to Stir
Vp Strife Among; the
Republicans.
Both the senior and Junior Omaha yel
lows worked overtime yesterday turning
out roorbacks for the consumption of their
readers. No story was too fantastic and
no statement too preposterous for them to
give such publicity as can be obtained
through their columns. The senior yellow
concentrated Its energies In one direction
and the Junior In another, both with the
end In view of confusing the republican
voters and disseminating false reports,
with the hope of stirring up factional strife
In the ranks of the united party. Here
Is the chief production of the World-Herald's
fake factory for the day:
A howl for help went over the Western
Union wires Saturday from Omaha to New
York, In which a distinguished citizen of
Omaha who Is the "Big Klnger" in local
politics, Informed the head otllclals of the
water company that the combine ticket
was gone nolens $40,000 additional was im
mediately dumped In here.
The response came this morning, after
a hot telegraphic correspondence lasting all
day Sunday. It was the transmission by
telegraph of $22,600 to supplement the $15,
0U0 previously put up from the same nource
to push through the election of the Rose-wafer-water
works candidates. It seemi"
that It was promised some time Sunday,
and word was sent out for all the workers
to come in Monday and get their "dough."
AU day the "touching brigade" has been
participating In a parade in and out of
The Bee building and the paymaster has
been working both hands and putting out
the tens, twenties and fifties, with occa
sional century marks. A few have been
nhle to put a strong enough talk to get
even larger sums, but It takes a big show
ing of ability to deliver the goods to land
the star prizes.
Every worker who has been around tlfe
Rosewater headquarters tells the same
story about the atmosphere of demoraliza
tion that prevails and all agree that "the
old man is crasy about the slumn from
Kennedy." The antls are being urged to
be good and forget.
But the antlH are singing one refrain.
"What was good enough two years ago Is
good enough now," and the knives are
going in deep and often.
Dream from the News.
The red-headed Junior splashed around in
the realms of fancy with all the gladsome
freedom of its bright young nature, and
fairly fell over Itself in reeling off fiction
for Its followers. One good example of
the quality of "Information" put forth
under glaring headlines is the following:
The political sensation of the day Is the
statement that E. Rosewater is now and
has been for some time past working with
democrats and populists qf prominence. In
various parts of the state, to accomplish
the election of a fusion legislature, in order
that Elmer J. liurkett may be defeated
for the United States senate.
According to the declaration of two demo
crats of state prominence, they were sum
moned recently to Mr. RoBewater's private
office and told that he desired Burkett's
election prevented at -any cost. To this
end, Mr. Rosewater said, he would aid by
every means In his power in "knifing" the
republican legislative ticket to such an ex
tent as to Insure a fusion majority on
Joint ballot.
Active work has since been done to a
considerable extent, it is asserted, to carry
out this plan.- In Douglas ' county It Is
understood that the "knifing" process has
srofie on vigorously.
E. J. Burkett was given the preferential
vote of the lute republican state conven
tion for the next senatorship, and his elec
tion, should the legislature be republican,
la practically assured.
Prise Packasre.
The prize roorback came out late In the
evening in the form of an anonymous cir
cular, passed around on the streets. It Is
undoubtedly the work of the Hitchcock
campaign committees, although It bears nc
signature, and Indicates plainly the des
peration to which the present congressman
from the Second district Is driven in his
desire for re-election:
CITIZENS I
Rosewater has assured the corporations
that If Kennedy Is elected to congress he
will serve their Interests. Can Kennedy
serve two musters, the trusts and the peo
ple, at the same time? In 1K! Kennedy
bolted McKlnley and supported Bryan. In
lUoU he sulked In his tent and supported no
one; and In 1904 he Is the Rosewater and
corporation candidate for congress on the
republican ticket. Rosewater has put $10,uv0
Into South Omaha for Kennedy. Working
men, can you vote for Kennedy?
NOI
Because a vote for Kennedy
Is a vote for the trusts only;
Is a vote for the corporations onjy;

NEW YORK, Nov. 7. From the poll-
tlclans to the people; from the campaign
managers to the voters; from the spelU
binders to the ballot boxes, the presidential
election of iiHH is now committed. For
months the leaders have planned, for days
and nights they have schemed and for
weeks tho people have . waited for tomor
row, when they will make their choioe.
Right up to tha hour when all effort ha)
ceased thi campaign managers of botbj
parties confidently claimed success with a
serenity which seemed remarkable in "View
of 'the wide divergence of expressed oplt
Ion.
It Is not to be expected that any persoq
connected with a political campaign will
surrender his right to claim all doubtful
states, and no one In this campaign, aveq
privately or In contldenoe, is willing to
concede defeat. The confidence of tha
managers Is shared by their followers aad
on every hand the stout declarations o
partisans for their party candidates or
heard. Tonight all is confidence, by to
morrow night the country will know whs
has been rleht.
Aside from the preparations for the rex
celpt of the election returns there wag
little evidence of tho close of the polltloaj
campaign today, unless It might be founds
In the absence of familiar faces about the
national and state heudquarters and hotels.
There was nothing that indicated any ex
citement or undue interest, and, In fact,
the political headquarters, both national
and state, showed little of the activity that
has been noticeable up to the end of last
week. Nothing that either campaign coma
mlttee could do at this late day, It wag
recognized, would affect the result, atut
this -accounted In part for the quietude, U
being well known that the case had gone
to the great American Jury. The extreme
quiet of headquarters was also apparent al
I the hotels, and those haunts where poll
' tlciuns often congregate to discuss the pros
pects of the different candidates, wero de
serted nearly all day by the men who axe
most Interested In the election.
Election returns will be received at all
the headquarters. Chairman Cortelyou will
1 git 10 Hempstead, L. I.', to vote, and upon,
his return will remain at the committee
rooms all the evening.
Vice Chairman Nlcoll, Chairman SheehaQ
of the executive committee and Secretary
Woodson will receive the returns at dents
cratlc national committee rooms.
Chairman Cord Meyer and other demo
cratlc state committeemen will be at toe
Hoffman house. William Barnes, Jr., of
the executive committee will be In charge
at the republican rooms In the Fifth Ave
nue hotel.
Evidences of breaking up were appareut
today when members of the various come
mittees were observed clearing out their
desks of things that have accumulated dur
Ing the campaign. It looked very much ag
If the end was near at hand.
Six to One on Roosevelt.
Betting on the general election results
was livelier tonight than at any time dur
ing the campaign. It Is estimated that
nearly XIMM was wagod on the Broad
street curb and In the various hotels. Tha
leading odds were six lo ono an Roosevelt
on the general result, two to one that
Roosevelt will carry New York state and
two to one that Merrick will defeat Hlgglns
for the governorship. One bet on tho presi
dency was of t-'.Ojo to $8,0CO. One man offered
STiO.OOO it any part of 11 ut odds of five to
one on Roosevelt, without takers. The
heaviest state bet was $10,000 to $8,500 on
Herrick. Another Herrlck bet was $10,000
to $6,000. ' . ,
A Wall street, house offered to bet $6,000
even that Roosevelt will curry New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana and West
Virginia, but there were no takers. Several
private wagers are said to have been made
uguinst Purker at odds of seven to one, but
no such bets were openly announced. One
bettor placed $3,0f)o against $ii,000 that Par
ker will carry New York state.
A Wall street firm put up $2,000 at odds
of two to one that the president will carry
New York, and announced thnt it hud
$10,000 to place at the same oddH.
On national and state Issues It Is esti
mated that $2,000,000 has been wng?rcd lu
New York City.
CHICAGO, Nov. 7. The national heud
quuiti In this city were ir;ictleully cloned
