undn' which the nieiger is proposed is
unconstitutional.
Two other plana to 'thwart the annexa
tion move will be executed, t!ie opponents
of the propoMUun hoping, that If two
plans fail the other may be successful.
They will make a thorough lomparlson
of the petitions with the registration
hooks in Omaha and South uniaha in the
hope of finding thnt many of the peti

of alt unregistered voters must be
stricken from the petitions. By eliminat
ing such names and by Inducing othur
petitioners to withdraw the third plan
the opponents of the move hope to re
duce the petition litis to the point of in
sufficiency. ! Petition Arc Presented.
Johh P. Breen,' attorney tor the an
nexationists, appeared before the com
missioners Saturday morning and offi
cially presented the Omaha and South
Omaha special election petitions, which
were filed lato Friday afternoon. He
asked the board to Immediately pass upon
the sufficiency of the petitions and to
order County Clerk Haverly to hold the
special election In conjunction with tho
general election November T. He offered
a certificate of Mr. Haverly that tho
Omaha petition carried 3,331 names, and
the South Omaha petition 1.22S names.
He further offered affidavits of Omaha
and South Omaha city clerks as to regis
tration of the last two years showing
that the number of namea on the peti
tions is far more than the required W per
cent of registered voters, no matter whet
registration is used as a basis. Both pe
tition have about iOO names to spare,
he said.
Requests Are Tom promised.
Mr. Breen asked the board to adopt a
resolution prepared by him arid intro
duced by Commissioner Elsasser, finding:
the petitions sufficient, but Mr. Murphy
objected and pleaded for ten days' delay
to give the opponents of annexation time
in which to make -a legal contest. Mr.
Breen consented to this, but said he
feared the contest talk was mere bluff
and the antl-annexatlonists were playing
for time In which to induce signers of
tha petitions, to withdraw. Questioned
by Mr. Elsasser.' Mr. Murphy declared
legal action will be taken to test the
constitutionality of the merger law. but
admitted efforts may be made to Induce
Signers to withdraw their names.
The commissioners compromised the re
quests of the two sides by deferring ac
tion until next Friday.

hold Its regular meeting Sunday after
noon In Washington hall at Eighteenth
and Harney streets at 3 o'clock. Con
gressman Lobeck and Senator Hitchcock
will be present, as will a number of other
prominent persons and a large attendance

The association will take up a large
amount of new business, whloh will In
clude the nomination of delegates to at
tend the next annual convention of the
National Association and the amend
ment of the by-laws of the local associa
tion. The attention of the civil service em
ployes will be called to the fact that
present Indications seem to favor legis
lation toward retirement In the next
session of congress, but that the only
thing that could bring about a retire
ment law would be the co-operation of
all civil service employes.

been made during the last twenty-five
years in prison reform.

SHOPMEN GOJOR THEIR PAY
Strikers Call at the Union Pacific
Headquarter! for Their Money.
STRIKE BENEFITS ARE PAID
Mti speak Hlablr f A. t. Mofcler,
Recently Elete as Prslt
of tke Intra Pacific
lias MT Friends.
Answering the advertisement that
striking railroad shopmen would be paid
for their last month' work at Vnlon Pa
cific headquarters at noon baturaay
about 300 reported. As many had gath
ered at the meeting t Wolfe's hall at 10
o'clock and leaders had called up the
office Of C. E. Fuller of the Union Pa
cific and Inquired If the notice was au
thorised and finding that It was the
strikers were advised to report for their
pay.
The first official bulletin was Issued
by the strikers Friday morning and read
at the meeting- at Wolfe's ball. The bul
letin sums up the situation at the various
strike centers, giving the number of men
out as reported by labor officials. In re
gard to the Omaha strike the bulletin
etates:
'Omaha hss In the neighborhood of 750
men out and a clean sweep has been
made in the roundhouses In Council
Bluffs. Men at both points meet quietly
every day and so far little attention has
been paid to the circular Issued by Mr.
Fuller setting a time limit In which the
men must return to work."
Summing up th esituatlon in other
towns as reported by the strikers the bul
letin continues:
"Grand island reports a clean tieup of
all crafts; North Platte about the same.
Cheyenne reports 700 employes out, about
the only ones left around the place being
some of the foremen of tho different de
partments. Trains already show the ef
fects of the strike being from two to
nine hours lata."
Men Ont Elsewhere.
According to the bulletin five machin
ists were left at work in the Kansas
City shops and of these three, or four
were nonunion. "Prom there to Denver
on the Kanso division employes went out
at all points. At Denver seven machin
ists stayed in, one boilermaker and one
plpeman. The rest cams out. Including
twenty-four out of twenty-six helpers.
Laramie reports everybody out but one
machinist, two bollermakers, two car
men, two blacksmiths and one plpeman,
leaving all told eight men at work out
of seventy employed."
All employes are .reported to have gone
out at P.awlins, Henna, Rock Springs and
Green River, as well as at Ogden, Sparks,
Sacramento and Portland. Nlnety-elrfht
per cent are reported to have struck at
Los Angeles, Bait Lake, Houston and
Oakland.
o III Feeling- Here.
Neither the Vnlon Pacific nor the strlk
ers express the least 111 feeling toward
each other at the Omaha shops. "Presl
dent Mohler is a perfectly square man,'
so one of the strikers sold, and what
ever the outcome the workmen will stll
retain their respect for him. Mr. Mohle.
has many friends among the shopmen
and can call nmny of them by name.
The strike nas not yet affected this feel
ing of personal friendship, and If the sit
uation settles down to an endurance test
there Is no Indication that the struggle
will be considered other than a fight foi
the recognition of the union.
No statement concerning the probable
duration of the strike is ventured bj
either side.
Strikers at the Omaha shops could re
turn to their work without submitting to
impositions from the railroad company,
as their affiliations with the union would
not Interfere with their employment, but
return would necessitate the severance o:
their connection with the International
federation. A strike benefit of $) pel
week to single and IS per week to mar
ried men is being paid, according to laboi
officials. The cost to remain In the
union Is from SI to $2 60 per month. Fo.
the last two months, and also for Octo
ber. a special levy of 12 50 per month hat
been mode on all men In the national as
soclatlon still at work. The dues ore no
to be collected from strikers until thej
hsve returned to work.
Republicans Lead
in Registration
Indications are that on the second day
of registration, as on the first, the re
publicans are in the lead. At the reg
istration Tuesday It will be seen that
the republicans 'led the democrats by
more than 2,000. The advantage Is not
In any one, but in every ward In the
city. The figures showing party affilia
tions and the totals follow:
No
Ward. Rep. Dem.Soc. An. Total.
First 175 101 10 14 S00
Second 2.11 J03 12 12 418

Thus it will be seen that In the two
days of registration the republicans have
registered 8,233 and the democrats 8,620.
The next end last registration will be
the day before election, which this year
Is held November 7. '

Houver is Ordered
to GeJbOut of City
The Cohn murder l as much a mystery
today as It w-ss seven months ago, snd
the wild yarn told by Msrk Houver. the
Iowa farmer, has gone down la police
records as a Joke.
He was brought before Judge Crawford
Saturday morning and told to leave town,
which he did In comrany with hl
nephew. Chlif of Detectives John Sav

court and said that Houver was irsiy
and has been In charge of a guardian

FAKER FOOLS THE CROWD
afreet Salesman and Confederate Tat
In Scene that Pulls
Money.
The street faker had his little stand
all fixed up In a little-used alleyway In
Chicago. He stood back and surveyed
his "place of business" with an admir
ing eye. Next he unwrapped a number
of bundles, placed a little box cm one
side of the stand for the shekels he knew
were coming In, and then he started:
"I have w hat la known as the combina
tion knife sharpner and can opener. Tou
ran see how easily I open tUt can top."
and here the faker took the tj from a
can that he had on the stand. Vie little
article he was showing was md cf
cheap metal, but he opened the rtni with i
ease. Next he took a butcher knife,
hacked the edge of It on a old piece of
Iron several times, keeping up a running
fire of conversation all the time. After he
had nicked and dulled the edge of the
knife he ran It through the sharpener
several times, explaining as he did so the
marvelous power of the steel he used In
the device.
Next he fingered the edge of the blade
gingerly, and rolling back his sleeves,
shaved the balr from his arm, so sharp
was the knife. He sold the device for 10
cents.
Busslness lagged; he was selling only
one or two after each experiment, al
though the crowd was fairly large. A
large, sullen-looking Herman was seen
pushing his way through the crowd close
to the stand. He watched the faker as
the latter explained the little article
again. Then the man, who looked like
a mechanic, said: "Young fellow, could
you sharpen a knife made of tool steel
on that sharpener?"
The faker replied that he could sharpen
anything made of cold steel, even though
It was highly tempered. The Herman
raid It was Impossible and laughed In
scorn at the faker. Naturally, the sym
pathy of the crowd was with the Ger
man, who by this time wss heaping a
tirade of abuse on the poor faker, calling
him a cheat, burglar and everything
else that sounded bad In public.
The faker picked up a box full of dimes
containing easily .' and bet them against
fl that he could sharpen any -knife.
The crowd looked at the German for a
"comeback." He came back all right In
fact that was why he was there. He
placed a dollar bill on the stand, and,
reaching in Ills pocket, produced a large
knife, such as Is carried by mechanics.
"There," he said. "That Is made of
cold steel. Tou sharpen it and take the
money." '
"All right." replied the fakir, "only 1 11
bet you $.1 more to another dollar that I
can put an edge on It within thirty sec
onds that you can shave your arm with,
and I will hack It on this Iron before I
start to' sharpen It, too."
"You're on," said the German, and he
laid down another dollar. The faker
picked up the tittle "wonder." drew the
blade across the steel several times,
rolled back his cuff and shaved the hair
from his arm. Just as he said he would. .
Dismayed and crestfallen, the German
picked up his knife after examining the
edge, hung his1 head and slunk away
from the crowd. As he left the faker
said:
'Now, ladles and gentlemen, I have
convinced one skeptic that my little ar
ticle Is all that I claim for It. It there
any one else that has any money? We
have been getting away from the main
subject, however, and I will explain the
sharpener again." Chicago News.

Old John T. Conlon has been roasted to

him, he has been bitten by the dreaded
backdraft and crushed under toppling

exhausted human emotion. Nothing
short of the day of final resurrection, one
would think, would make any real Im

' 'Thanks, prince,' says. Hut he didn't

to myself, the old geezer can't speak

out of It. He pulls up his petticoat and
strikes the match on the sole of his
shoe.
" 'la's a wundher, now,' I Mays to this
