VtM ooh identified as Willl m JlCottlo and a
Lolo In his forehead over the right cyo , tlio
blackened and burned flesh surrounding It ,
nnd the llmlIng ol a revolver near the dead
man all told the unmlstnttublo fact that It

noAnn OK THANSPOIVTATION.
The state board of transportation hold Its
regular meeting yesterday with the secre
taries nnd all mcinbcra of the board present.
The rehearing of the .case brought by the
Lincoln lumber dealers , ns nskcd for by
Manager Holdrcgo , of the B. fc M. , was
discussed , Messrs. Laws , Babcock nnd Scott
voting to glvo the rend to tlio 27th to formu
late their reasons for n rehearing , nnd
Messrs. Willnrd and Lccso voting no.
In the matter of the complaint of parties nt
the town of Henrtwcll asking that the board
require the B , M. to stop its fust trains nt
that point , the board ordered a reply sent to
tlio complainants that they could , not see
liow the general public would bo bcnollUcd
by such nn order.
Attorney General Lceso asked why n re
port was not made by the secretaries on the
Investigation of the character of the men
employed by the B. & M. as engineers and
the ability of the road to safely accommodate
the public. A majority of the board who
have thus far suppressed the facts nsrcr-
talnod had nothing to say und no report was
forthcoming.
A. communication was read from the rail
road commission ofMInncsotnandwithitwas
n copy of a bill introduced in congress by
Jlcpresentativo Nelson , of that stato. The
communication nskcd that the Nebraska
board of transportation send a memorial to
the Nebraska delegation nt Washington urg
ing them to support and urge the passage of
the bill. The tncasurb is ono that Is of di
rect interest to Nebraska , for it docs away
with the oft repeated claim of the Union Pa
cific and other transcontinental roads char
tered by the general government , that they
are beyond state control. Judge Mason wus
instructed to draft nnd forward letters urg
ing the passage of the measure. The bill en
tire is ns follows :

resentatives of the United States.

Infhmons Resolutions.
The prominence given by the locnl
ircss to the 8o-calcd ) resolutions pur-
lorting to have been adopted by the
) innhn Control Labor Union impels mo
o make a slixtomonl ever my own name
vith regard to the construction of the
3EK building , Before doinp so I brand
hose resolutions ns a tissue of malicious
alsohoods unworthy of any honorable
or decent member of the building craft.
Whoever the Central Labor Union maybe
bo , the parties who < have given publi
city to these slanders are not reputable
mechanics , but hirelings or designing
> olitlcal and personal enemies. I need
> nly cite four of the eight sections of
, hcso Infamous resolutions to convict
ho authors thereof ns unmitigated liars
nnd scoundrels :
Whereas , The Central Labor Union , com-
irlslng tno federated trades of Omaha * vlow
vith shame and humiliation the actions of a
man , who professes outwardly nnd through
ho medium of n great Journal his friendship
for worktngmon , nnd , "
Whereas , Through , ho medium of his Jour-
ml ho has presumed to teach us that organ-
zed labor should bo encouraged nnd fos
tered , nnd ,
Whereas , The only Job now being erected
n Oinnhn where carpenters are compelled to
work more hours per day than other
contractors demand , being the one which
the aforesaid Journalist Is himself erecting ,
nnd ,
Whereas , Ho has nnd still refuses to accept
union labor on the brick woric of said bulld-
ng. nnd by so doing allows it to bo erected
by "scnb'Mabor.
Tills is n dead give-away on its face.
The BKH bulldlnn is to bo a strictly
Ire-proof structure. Up to this day not
a foot of lumber has been used , and not
a single carpenter is at work on the
juiltlinp , nor lias there ever been a car-
Bonier on the building , nnd no contract
las yet boon made for the carpenter
work , which will bo necessary in flnish-
.ng. This ought to dispose , oiToctivoly ,
of the malicious charge that the car-
pouters employed on the 13iK building
ire compelled to work longer houra for
loss pay than any others.
It is a downright falsehood that I
have refused , or "still refuse to accept
union labor on the brick-work of said
building. " I have never employed a
single mechanic , bricklayer , stono-
cttttor , iron-moldor or hod-carrier at
work on the building , for the
very best of reasons , namely ,
that the granite work Is being done
under contract with Jackman & Sher
man of Chicago , who are to furnish the
granite and place it in the walls 'for a
fixed sum of money under a contract
made last September ; that the brick
work in said building Is being done
under contracts made in September and
December , 1837 , with John P. Coots ,
and the iron work is being done by
Paxton & Viorllng , under a contract
made last October. "Tl have no control
whatever ever men employed by these
contractors nor can I interfere with
them without laying the BEK Publish
ing Company liable to damage suits for
breach of contract. "While I should pre
fer to see union men employed by Mr.
Coots , and have repeatedly told him so ,
and urged arbitration with the union
bricklayers , I can only hold him re
sponsible as contractor for the work he
does. I certainly derive no benefit from
Inferior work , if any such is done.
When Mr. Coots commenced to erect
the walls with non-union bricklayers ,
a committee of the bricklayers' union
called on mo and warned mo against in
ferior work. I told thorn I was not a
competent judge of brickwork , but
would at once send for Mr. Boman , the
architect. I telegraphed Boman the
same day. Ho was sick at the time , but
reached Omaha within four days there
after. The committee of bricklayers
asked that 1 should employ a superin
tendent , but expressed preference for a
non-resident who would show no partial
ity to the contractor. On my request Mr.
Boman engaged as superintendent Mr.
J , S. Baker , of Milwaukee , who had
boon the superintendent of the North
western Mutual Life insurance com
pany's building in that city , planned by
Mr. Beman. Mr. Baker has boon hero
since lost week Friday and receives $200
per month for supervising the work.
Does this show treachery and want of
faith on my part ? Can reasonable and
fnirminded workingmen ask any more ?
A few after the '
days bricklayers' com
mittee had called I was Invited to go be
fore the executive committee of the
Knights of Labor to explain the situa
tion. I did BO , to their apparent satis
faction , by not only answering all their
inquiries , but also by placing in their
mnds the contracts with Mr. Coots
to show that I was powerless
to interfere willl the employment of
non-union men on the BEK building.
In vlow of these faots I submit to an
unprejudiced public whether there is
any ground whatever for the "roasting"
which my Omaha would-be rivals have
taken delight in administering to me
ever the shoulders of organized labor.
If there ever was anything more con-
torn ptiblo and villainous , both on the
part of the bolf-con&tituted mouthpieces
ot organized labor und rival editor * and
publishers , I do.not remember to'lmvo

GREAT MISTAKE ,
Some men think that because they pay high prices for clothing , they got a better article thau
wo sell for half th6 money , This is a mistake. To many customers who visit our store for
the first time , it is a revelation that they can buy just as fine goods of us aud just as well
made as any custom tailor will turn out , and the fact that our prices are from 30 to 50 po
cent cheaper than other houses is also a revelation. The remarkable bargains wo offer this
season have never been approached by any house.
In spring suits wo are opening every * day now lots. All the latest styles are represented
in our stock. The now Prince Albert suit in fine corkscrew -and cassimerq , of different and
beautiful shades and at prices almost one half what other establishments offer.
The most astonishing value over given in a spring suit is offered this week is our new $7
cheviot sack suit. This is made of a splendid all wool cheviot , an elegant color , lined with.
Cue serge , gcod trimmings aud well made. Now , any house will show a seven dollar suit , but
we positively assert that no one will show anything to compare with the quality we offer in ,
this suit for less than $12 , and wo ask but $7 for it.
Oirr , Spring Overcoats are on the wane ; of the finest grades are but a few loft , and wo
have ma'rked them down to close them out. Of our $6 overcoats wo still have a fair assort ,
ment. This is the biggest thing over shown in the way of an overcoat and everybody who
has bought one acknowledges that it is as good a garment as is shown anywhere for $12.
In our hat department we offer this week 25 dozen fine light colored derbys , satin lined
silk band and bind ing , goat sweat leather at $1. If you are asked $2 or $2.5Q for the same
hat you would not hesitate to pay it.
