"Yes , Indeed , " ftrfid another democrat ,
whoso sent Is in the DoURlai county row ,
"Morrlssoy talks of the 11 ht ho made against

" \Vo feel mightily relieved that this man

"That fellow 1ms more chcolc than a gov-

STIU. IS Tlln IIALASCE.
The life of Henry ) Jocrs , charged with the
murder of Johanna Augusta Set fort , is
ftUH in the hands of thu Jury. Attorney
Sterns closed his argument fnf the state at U
oe'loclc yesterday afternoon , and Judge ( Jhap-
man Immediately gave his charge to the
Jury , It was regarded as fair , deliberate and
impartial by the members of tlio Lancaster
county bar generally. Since then the jury
lias been laboring to reach n verdict , and at
this hour , ! l o'clock , it is seemingly as far
from it ns when it first went out. It is gen
erally talked thnt the jury will hang Itself
instead of the prisoner. Many people hero
now nrguo that the pica of insanity was not
without grout plausibility , if not truth.
His strange actions prior to the murder and
nlnce , coupled with the fact that his mother ,
sister , and some ot the former generations of
the liccrs family , wore tainted with insanity ,
Kive evidence that Is hard to blot from the
mlud , oven though the crime was revolting ,
cruel and peculiarly blood thirsty. Uut as in
nil such cases public opinion is divided , nnd
porhnps n majority of citizens will bo dis
appointed if the jury fnlls to bring in n vor-
flict of guilty of murder in the first degree.
The case of the state vs Mike and Katie
Ouinlan was called for trial this morning.
jTho public is acquainted with its nature.
a'he story of the arrest of the Quintan gang ,
en the charge of uuglary , and the subsequent
conviction nnd sentence of noddy Wilson to
the state pen is also wall known. The pris-
pnors entered the plea of not guilty , and the
day passed in making the case of tbo state.
It is believed that its end will not bo
reached before Monday night. Katie
was in the court room while her husband re
mained in jail. If she is convicted it is
thought that Mike will withdraw his plea of
hot guilty , with the hope that ho may lighten
his sentence.
The second court , with Judge Field sit
ting , wns quito busy all day long. It might
properly bo called a motion day. There
wore no Important cases on trial. The com
plaint of Jerry Harrington against Mary
Lronncn , however , was disposed of. The
court ordered Mary sent to the county Jail
lor tliirty days. She had disobeyed a former
order of the court , and her sentence was in
evitable. It seems to bo the talk that Jerry
will bo called upon to glvo up their child , nnd
in tills way , poosslbly , tholr troubles will bo
forever settled. Mary is poor , has no place
to go and the chances are strong that the
county will have to give her aid. Harring
ton will have to "put up" or the county will
become a prey to his unlawful work.
Later The jury In the Uoors case found
lilin guilty of murder in the second degree ,
but commended him to the mercy of the
court , Sentence will bo passed some tiuio
next week.
Katie Quinkcn was found guilty of so-
orotlng stolen property , but in a sum less
than $35. This saves iior from the state
l > ou.
OXE On TUB OTIIRI : A NUIS\NCR.
"I take it , " remarked u citizen of Lincoln
to-day , "thnt our lawmakers have n bigger
Job on tholr hands than they imagine to get
rid of Hillings. Ho Is sustained hero by the
United States , nnd not by the state , us so mo
people seem to think. Tlio regents of the
Btnto university have charge of the funds ,
and the state lias nothing to say whatever
about their disposition. I can sea no reason
why the biological laboratory cannot to de
clared n nuisance and abated accordingly , A
resolution to this effect would certainly bo in
order. "
Another citizen remarked : "It would an-
nwcr the same purpose to declare Hillings
the nuisance instead of the laboratory. It
Booms to me that this would bo the proper
thing to do. Ho has proved himself to bo a
common swine murderer. I bcllevo the
fanners of Nebraska , and especially his vic
tims , would cndorso this suggestion to u man.
If the Nebraska legislature fails to abolish
Hillings or the laboratory 11 criminal blunder
will have been committed. "

A SLICK SCOTCHMAN.
A well dressed young foreigner , evidently
n Scotchman , called at the residence of
William M. Clark , at the corner of O nnd
Thirty-third streets , and presented the card
ofV. . H. Dennis , yesterday afternoon , stat
ing that ho was the clorlt of that gentleman ,
and had boon sent for Mrs. Clark's sealskin
cloak. Ho stated that Mr , Dennis wanted to
try it on a lady who wished to order one
like it. Mrs. Clark politely informed the
B'oung man that she was going shopping , nud
wished to wear her cloak nnd thnt aha could
not let It go. During the afternoon she
called at Dennis * store and there learned
thnt no ono had been sent to get her cloalr ,
nnd that the supposed Scotchman had evi
dently tried to Imi-oso on her. The young
man evidently had n sharp paine In mind but
H failed to work.

Tlio Inspector ItrlatcH tlio Hoc-cut
Narrow Kscnpo.
"It's ono of the worst cases I over saw , "
said Holler Inspector Standovon yesterday ,
referring to the boiler that Uenton Uoll al
lowed to endanger the lives of the residents
In the Estnbrook block on election day. "It
won't hold mud , lot alone water , and yet
there were twenty-six famlllo ) living in the
flats above it. As near as 1 can learn , Hell
left n man who know nothing nbout the bus-
itiess to take cnro of It , probably telling him
to keep a good llro. This the man did , but
froiiisomdcau.so wns unable to make steam ,
and on complaints coming to him that the
rooms were getting cold , either shut tlio
water olT or let it out. As n consequence tlio
boiler got red hot , nnd If by nny chance the
water had been turned on , there would have
been an accident that would have put the
Farnam street horror in the shade. "
The case of Hell was continued until Tues
day next , and in the meantime the boiler is
lying in the alloy back of the block , where
those Interested can BOO how narrowly they
escaped being blown into eternity. In talk-
ir.tr about the case , Mr. Slnndeven stated
that the proper place for all boilers in build
ings used for olllco or residence purposes ,
wns In the alleys , where tlioro was but little
tr.ivel and they would bo conveniently situ
ated for receiving fuel nnd removing ashes.
Ho did not approve of boilers being placed
under sidewalks , for although they are in
eastern cities , it is because there are very
few alleys there. An ordinance giving per
mission to place thorn under "streets and
avenues" is now in force in Omaha , having
been railroaded through the council some
years ago , but as a matter of safety to tlio
ordinary citizen , ho thought it should bo so
nmonded as to coullno the boilers to the
alleys.Vo
" \Vo have a thing they call nn ordinance ,
providing for the inspection of steam boilers
and tlio examination of engineers in charge
of them , " said thu inspector , "but one half of
it kills the other. For example , take section
0 , when it says it shall bo the duty of the
inspector on the written application of the
owner or agent of any boiler , stating the
saino ib out of repair , or has been repaired ,
to examine and determine if the same has
been properly done. Now how many owners
arc going to mak a written application to me !
It should bo r.omtmlsory on the inspector to
Inspect them without waiting for a written
application. And then again it says I can
give a certificate If they are all right , but it
does not give mo nny authority to condemn
theinif they nro not. I condemned four boilers
for ono lirm. but 1 could not enforce
the condemnation , and they went right along
using them until ono day I drove a hammer
through thorn. "
"Then again , take section 14. It says it
will bo unlawful for any owner to operate
nny boiler for 'more than ono week' without
a licensed engineer. Why , it doesn't take
ono week , or ono day , or oven one tiour , for
nn unskilful man to blow himself , his boiler ,
and every thing near him into pieces. The
Hell case is just such a one. It didn't ' take
the man ho left in charge more than nn hour
or two to destroy tlio boiler , arid endanger
all within reach.
"Speaking nbout the board of engineers ,
who are to examine applicants for license ,
section 2-1 says , the mayor shall appoint 'two
persons , ono of whom shall bo an appointed
city oilleer.1 Now what are they going to do
if there is no appointed city ofllcer thnt un
derstands boilers } There is no salary at
tached , and its hard to get the board to meet
every time you want them. As it is now the
work generally falls to mo , for I
have no power to make the other
mowbors attend unless they wish to. I think
the members of the board should consist of
some practical men representing the manu
facturing interests of the city , another rep
resenting the mechanical interests , and the
third the boiler inspector. But I'vo ' em
bodied my views in nn ordinance , which I
have given to Councilman Davis , and ho will
bring it up at the next mooting. I hope it
will go through. "

Where Shall the Wires of the Motor
Company Ho Stretched ?
In the case ot the city vs the Motor com
pany , to restrain the latter from erecting
overhead wires , arguments were made before
Judges Wakeley , Doano nnd Groft. The at
torney for the city presented In detail the re
sult ot his Investigations Into the wort-lug of
electric railways. Ho described what In the
east Is known as the conduit system , n New
York Invention , and now used In that city ,
Allegheny , Detroit , Cleveland , San Jose and
elsewhere. In nroof of the success and
ndvantngcs of this system over the overhead
wire depositions of several parties wore In
troduced and read. Mr. Bontly , the engi
neer and a member of the Now York company -
pany , who has had much to do with perfect
ing this system , spoke about the dlillculllcs
cncountciod nt Cleveland and Denver , In
which cities the conduit scheme had boon
adopted. The success of the system in other
places. Hoston and Allechcny , particularly ,
was fully described. Tlio line In New
York was constructed in the face
of almost every dIDlculty. Yet it
was o ) > eratod easily and satisfactorily.
Trouble from water in the conduits was pre
vented by n system of sewerage , while , in
other directions , such ns obstacles of snow ,
ice and accumulated dirt , It occasioned no
moro trouble than is experienced by other
systems.
Illustrated diagrams showing the machin
ery ntul its workings , were laid before the
J ud KIM for tholr In formal Ion ,
Ono of tno important points dwelt upon by
the attorney for the city , was the fact that
the conduit system can bo put into horse
car tracks without taking them
up or even interfering with the
movement of trafllc. The nflldnvlt of Mr.
Hlackwlll was also read. Ho subsUint iatcd
everything set forth by Mr. Uontley , nnd
cited other instances in which the system
has proved successful. Tlio principal Item
in his testimony showed that trains may bo
operated easily on grades of eighty feet to
the mile , which would bo steeper than St.
Mary's avenue.
In further support of the underground
system , the uflhlavits of Benjamin F , Smith ,
relative to tno road in Boston ; also of the
olllcars of tha Allegheny company were read.
"These nftldnvits were made moro than a
year agowere they not ! " Inquired the road's
nttornoy.
"So much tlio hotter ! " retorted the city nt
tornoy.
While reading the niltdavit , the company's
attorney was asked by the city attorney
whether all the steep gr.xdo lines in Alle
gheny were not operated by overhead wires.
Several spats between counsel ensued
until Judge Doane shut them olT by sayine
that they would hear the testimony ns to
facts and the arguments afterwards ,
James Brown , comptroller of Allegheny
City , the secretary of the Observatory hill
company , who gave n very glowing account
of trial trips In which wonderful feats were
accomplished , tcstilled.
"That's a year old story , " Interjected a
counsellor.
"Yes , sir , it is , " hotly answered the city
nttornoy , "but I have some that are fresh. "
About twenty of these favorable affidavits
were read. They all claimed great things
for the conduit system. Some hold it supe
rior in every way to the overhead wires ,
while others show moro modesty and claim
It to bo no moro than equally as successful
ns a power for locomotion , but much prefer
able in construction , for tno reason that the
wires nro out of the way by being under
ground.
The reading of these aflldavits took up all
of the forenoon session.
The city occupied the court's attention al
most the entire afternoon and produced a
largo number of uflldavits , showing that
there were various systems for conducting
electrical railways. Among the most im
portant atlldavits road by the city attorney
was ono by F. K , Hain , general manager of
the Manhattan elevated railroad. Now York
City. This gentleman , in hu nIHdavit , stated
that ho hud examined the Jullcn system of
electric traction , and that ho had taken num
erous trips upon the curs of the Jnlion elec
tric traction now running in Fourth uvc-
nue. Ho had watched the development of
the system for months , and now regarded it
among the most Important Inventions of * the
time. The requirement needed was a self-
contained motor , and the Julion invention
illlcd the requirement most satisfactorily.
Among tlio advantages of this unique sys
tem of strocct traction was the fact that the
Julicn motor had iitnplo reserve power
to draw away a disabled car in
the event ot accidents , just as is
the case with locomotives. Generally
speaking lie regarded this motor us tno com
ing motive power of the age , for street car
traction as well as elevated lines. Other
electrical railway systems had not proven
satisfactory , having to depend upon cables or
wires suspended or in conduits for conduct
ing the electricity , whereby u very large per
centage of the power was test in transmis
sion , and serious and expensive changes in
the roadbed were made necessary , which ob
structed the streets , involving interruption
to travel , endangering health as well as life ,
from the electrical current. Thn system ,
said ho , was superior to the cable system ,
which had the same defect as other electrical
motive powers.
An nllldavit from Edward M. Bentley , of
Now , Y'ork , engineer of the Hontloy-Knight
electric railway company , was also read by
the city attorney. It was , claimed that the
company had abandoned the overhead wire
system In Toronto , South Bend and Paris.
A largo number of other uftldavits were road
and the plaintilT rested.
The motor company , In defense , denied
most of the allegations and submitted u bulk
of aflldavits , showing that the storage bat
tery , conduit mid other systems were n com
plete failure , wlnlo overhead wires were suc
cessfully operated. At Denver the conduit
system was u disastrous failuroundtho over
head wires had to bo substituted. The stor
age battery , which was claimed to bo in suc
cessful operation in Pans , Berlin , Marseilles
and other European citica , was not in oper
ation , tlio defense claimed. Ono of tlio at
torneys for tlio motor company said ho had
visited several cities across the water and ho
found that cars were propelled by mules.
At 5:30 : o'clock in the afternoon the court
adjourned until l:3 ) ( > o'clocic this morning ,
when the hearing of testimony for the de
fense will bo resumed.

The Union Paoiflo Said to ho In De
plorable Shape.
In railway circles it is generally conceded
that the future of the Union Paoitlo hiugos
largely upon the passage of the Outhwaito
funding bill. The stockholders openly
admit that , unless relief is rendered them , it
will be next to nn Impossibility for them to
meet their obligations. From a reliable
source , information concerning the financial
condition of tlio railway system In question
was obtained recently , and from the sumo
authority came the statement that unless the
Outhwaito bill passed , but few decades
would go by before the road would uo
placed In the hands of a receiver.
It is stated that the first mortgage which
is outstanding against the road , and which
is hold by private individuals , aggregates
the round sum of & > 3,000,000 with accrued
interest Aside from this there Is a second
mortgage , which Is hold by the
government , amounting to over $ :30- :
000,000 with accrued Interest , making
the combined indebtedness In first
and second mortgages nearly fcSS.OOO.OOO.
Consequently , if tiio government should as
sume the liabilities of the road , It would re.
quire an outlay of over $ .50,000,003 additional
to what It holds the company's paper for.
Under the bill originally tendering old by
the government , It was upon the express
condition that 5 per cent of the gross earn
ings should be reserved in the government
vault to bo applied an the payment of the
first mortcneo. This was extended to 23
per cent ol the earnings by nn act of con
gress May " , 1373. H was to bo known a * n
sinking fund , nnd according to rcoorts
furnished by the secreinryot the treasury
In n recent communication to congress , the
sum of $7.773,550 has nccrued from the re
tained portion up to the present time , which
would be on a scale of SiCO.GSO annually. At
this rate It would require ; the Union Pnciilc
company over one hundred years to meet its
present obligations. ; ,
Aside from this , it Is state ! by good au
thority that were the Union Pacitle to bo
placed In the hands of n receiver nt the pres
ent time nnd thrown tipon the market , It
could not find n purchaser. In supjtort ot
this assertion , It is stated that the rolling
stock ot the company is of but little value as
compared with its original cost , and that ,
even though the property should bo closed
down upon by the creditors , the realization
of the latter could not be much iu excess of
63 nor cent of the amount due.
The company , or t'nlon Piicillc proper , at
the present time owns ttW locomotives , 11 , WS
freight cars , nnd 3D I passenger , baggage ,
mall nnd ' express cars. The above rolling
stock Is part of the property covered by the
second mortgage , which Is that held by the
government As to this , railway men state
that every conch , box car nnd engine Is of
but little value , nnd especially are the loco
motives of the company said in n great de
gree to be unsafe and unlit for further ser
vice. Aside from this , the company has roll
ing stock on proprietary lines as follows :
Oregon Short Line , IDS freight cars nnd 10
passenger coaches ; South Park , 1,21 freight
nnd 81 passenger cars ; Utah & Northern ,
1.V)3 freight and t passenger car ; Kansas
Central , JilVi freight and It ) passenger ; Col
orado Central , 772 freight ana 43 passenger :
Denver , Marshal & Boulder , 33 Irclght and
2 passenger ; Oregon Hallway & Navigation ,
tl37 freight nnd 5 passenger ; Echo & Park
City , 04 freight nnd 8 passenger ; Lincoln fc
Colorado , 773 Irclght cars. The major portion
tion of the rolling stock on tlio above
branches and proprietary lines has been in
service for years , and Is not considered of
much value.
Ono peculiar feature In connection with
the acquirement of new rolling slock is that
the same is furnished by the American Loan
fc Trust company under a lease to tlio Union
Pacific. It is stilted that the American Loan
it Trust company acts ns trustee for the
stockholders. By this , It will bo seen that.
when the obligations of the company fall
due , which is nbout eight years hence , the
now rolling-stock will bj unuttuehublo
and that upon which the lien exists will not
bo worth Its weight In old iron , An Individ
ual who claims IP be familiar with the trans
action , in commenting , said :
"Tho passage of the Outhwaito funding
bill will only benefit the money sharks.nlt
is not the Intention of the stockholders to
ovnr meet their obligations : at least I do not
look nt it in that way. All they w.uit is more
available time in which to leech what may
como their way before tno road goes to
pieces.
"As to the receiver theory , I have but little
tlo faiti ; in it. The whole issue , in a nut
shell , is that ut the present Umc tlio rolling
stock is badly dilapidated , nnd unless the
Outhwaltc bill is pasoJ , when the payment
of the IncumLrnncs becomes due you will see
the ringsters release the property without a
murmur.
"The passairo of the Dill will only give
them another opportunity to repeat what
they have already accomplished the demoli
tion of their second equipment of rolling
stoclc. At all hazards , tlio government is
playing second fiddle to Fred Antes and his
henchmen. "
Gobbling Uival.H.
About six months ago the Mann Boudoir
and the Monarch Car company consolidated
nnd assumed the title of the Union Palace
Cur company. About thirteen weeks ago a
report was put in circulation that the Pull
mans were endeavoring to negotiate lor the
purchase of the Union company's rolling
stock nnd franchise , which in certain sec
tions brought some strong competition for
the palace car kings. Tno Union company
ouerateit on lower rates nnd for this reason
the Pullman company realized that
something to remedy the situation must bo
done. It endeavored in vaiu to induce the
Union company to ralso'its rates up to tlio
former's standard , nmMn failing in this pro
ject , the Pullman company began to review
tlio situation in view of purchasing the inter
ests of the Union company outright. The
deal has been now affected , but it took just
$2,800,000 of the Pullman company's good ,
hard cash to bring it about. The surrender
of the franchise nnd stock occurred yes
terday afternoon. This gives the Pullman
company exclusive privileges for all western
roads. _
Union Pacific Chimgo.s.
Vice President Holcombo's little hatchet is
again sot in motion. This time it quietly
soars Into tlio general freight department of
the Union Pacific and decapitates H. A.
Johnson assistant general freight agent.
Mr. Johnson's place will bo filled by Mr.
J. S. Tcbbets , the present general passen
ger agent , and Mr. Tebbcts in turn will
bo succeeded by Assistant General Passen
ger Agent Lomax. T. W. Leo will become
assistant general passenger agent , with
headquarters in this city. The changes , ac
cording to the circular of General Manager
Kimball , will take effect February 10.
Railiond
George Gushing , superintendent of ma
chinery , has given his private clerkship to
Thomas Vick Hey , master workman of the
Omaha ICuights of Labor.
Walter M. Carter and A. Joosted , two
draughtsmen , have been lot out by George
Cushing in the Union Pacilic shops.
The Union Pacific management has con
cluded to add another car , ono of the draw
ing-room order , to the Golden Gate special
vestibule train. The car will bo constructed
especially for this purpose. It will bo a
model and will cost well up in the thousands
of dollars ,
The Pullman Palaoa Car company has ab
sorbed the emicraut sleeping car service on
nil the lines west of the Missouri river , and
Hereafter tlio second-class sleepers will bo
manned and controlled by the Pullman com
pany. The report that the latter company
had purchased the equipment outright is
pronounced erroneous. The deal is merely a
combine between the Pullman und the va
rious roads , the earnings being divided , and
was brought about to facilitate matters.
Pours' soap is tbo most oloprant toilet

No I'Jitru Court Wanted.
The Douglas County Bar association has
decided not to ask the legislature to create a
municipal court for Omaha. The matter
came before the association at the last meet
ing in the shape of a resolution , but after
considerable discussion it was laid on the
table. The resolution provided for the crea
tion of a court that should have jurisdiction
in criminal cases and 'oxorclso the function
of an appellate authority from the police and
justice courts of the cKy. '

How Citizens Judge It May bo Con
tinue tl and Incrcaicd.
TIIEE Ben wlllj from day to day , publish
interviews with prominent citizens In nil
lines and professions as regards what ought
to be done this year to maintain nnd continue
the metropolitan advancement which , in the
past few years has advertised the city
throughout the world. The season ot activ
ity in out door work Is soon to bo upon tis
nnd It ought to bo the aim of every citizen In
his own way to Improve the opportunity
both for his own bcncllt and that of tlio city ,
Push and Harmony.
"What Omaha now most requires , " ob
served Thomas Brcnnnn , real estate dealer ,
"is concentrated nctlon on behalf of her
business men. Every man interested in the
city's prosperity should strive In every pos
sible manner to ludncc manufacturing In
dustries to locate here , to offer inducements
to railroads to build Into the city and renew
the agitation for a new union depot that will
bo in keeping with Omaha's commercial im-
ixjrtnncc. Wo also want another bridge
across the river so thnt the trains which now
stop in Council Bluffs will run in
here , and when they do como
wo should have somethlni ! bettor
than a cowshed to run them into. This would
also ro a long way toward favorably im
pressing strangers at first sight ,
' rho city hall site has now been decided
upon beyond farther contention , and the now
postofllce building ought soon to bo com *
mcncod. Those enterprises will make
Omaha talked about , and that Is as it should
be , for the opportunity to keep thoelly prom
inently before eastern investors'should
never bo neglected. It isono of the greatest
factors in our growth nnd progression
every way. 1 would suggest that a live com
mittee bo appointed , composed of , say throe
members of the board of trade , three mem
bers of the Union club and three of the load-
lug real estate men. who would attend to setting
ting forth this city's advantages as a manu
facturing and jobbiugcontor , and whoseduty
it would also bo to receive parties coming
hero to prospect nnd look up n location.
"Omnlm also wants cheap money for build
ing purposes , and with this object In view wo
should see that the law passed by the last
legislature , which prevents corporations
holding their charters from foivlgn states
from owning land in Nebraska , is
repealed. I was instrumental m indue
ing a large manufacturing corporation
from Detroit to locate a branch establish
ment here. The secretary of the company
came nnd purchased a silo at a cost of nearly
SIO.OJO , but found that ho could not locally
hold the ground in the corporate mime of his
company. This obstruction will not prevent
this concern from locating here , but there
are many companies that it might prevent.
"As to the immediate outlook for a revival
of business activity , I look for it in all
branches But what we want is push , har
monious and united work , and we will make
the assurance all the greater. "
I'roporty Values are Firm.
George W. Am cs , ot the Ames Heal Estate
agency , said : "There has bcjn a consider
able inquiry for good property on the part
of home and oulsldo investors lately , which
promisps to give a very decided impetus to
trade this spring. Many of our own people
have paid for property bought during the
past four or five years and , having begun to
accumulate some money , again are looking
around for suitable investments , all of
which is nn encouraging sign of n reawaken
ing of trade in our line of business at
least. In fact there is no sound reason why
realty during this year should not bo in
active demand , and nt good prices. The
growth in population as well as in nil lines
of business und manufactures , together with
the recognized value of Omaha property , are
factors that will count.
"Our city now is nn actual fact. There is
n grand , great state back of it. Property
values have stood the test of dull times and
are proved to bo real , substantial and per
manent. Eastern money is being sent
hero very freely for investment and Omaha
city bonds are easily placed nt a premium.
Wo are confidently looking for an nctivo
business during the year. I must add hero
thnt Mr. Kosowatcr's ' irrepressible and un
tiring industry in promoting the interests of
a city for which ho has already done incal
culable good , is fully appreciated by every
thorough-going citizen in the community.
His judgment seems to be unerring , and nis
advocacy of the necessity of securing and
fostering such enterprises ns will uftord per
manent employment for labor , nnd thus in
sure our continued growth nnd prosperity , is
n most commendable move , but character
istic of the man. What Tim Bun won't defer
for Omaha , can't be done , that is all. "
Sixtli AVni'd Republicans.
There were not many persons present at
the rooms of the Fourth Ward republican
club when Vice-President J. T. Leek called
the regular monthly meeting of the club to
order last night.
Secretary F. W. Fitch , having moved out
of the ward , tendered his resignation , which
was accepted , P. E. Robinson being elected
to till the vacancy.
The treasurer rendered a verbal report ,
stating that fO.lS remained In the treasury.
Many members , he said , have been delin
quent in the payment of dues , and that con
siderable money could bo realized if these
were paid.
The vice-president then made n few re
marks , dwelling upon the necessity of main
taining the organization and being prepared
for the campaign next fall. He urged the
members to attend the meetings regularly
and bring others with them. The club , ho
haid , is the banner political organization of
the city , and its work during the last three
campaigns lias been very effective.
There being no further business to transact ,
the meeting was adjourned.
