It is conceded by all that they carried off the greou palin. George Downey , and employe in the Ar- moUr-Cudahy packing house , Saturday after noon cut quite a gash in the back of his loft hand with a butcher knife , the blade enter ing deep enough to sever ono of the tendons. Mrs. George L. Conrad , who was so abused some days ago by her brutal husbaad , has loft him , and now , after being yanked into the police couyt , tried nnd lined. Mr. Conrad has the blind mule cheek to publish that his sulTcrlnc wife nns left him and that ho will not bo liable for her accounts. Frank Hays , who lately came from Ham- mous1 , Ind. , nnd went to work in a packing house , Was taken illAvlth pneumonia at the Clliton house , and Ja'mes Pcndorgast , a later arrival , while hunting work Monday after noon , was taken ill with fever , nnd on the recommendation of the .physician , Monday afternoon both wero" taken to the county hospital. As Major Sully , of the Salvation array , came out of Hunt's opera house Monday night after the services some unknown per son struck him in the nock a sledge-hammer blow , and the valiant major landed on. his licad and hands in the gutter. The de lighted crowd sot up a victorious yell that might have waitened the dead , but did not cheer up the religious feelings of the soldier of sancity. The per son that made the assault is undiscovered , escaping in the crowd. 'Yes , sir , " said Manager John F. Boyd of the Union stockyards , "I will do anything I can to get the league ball games played in South Omaha. I will give $50 and moro , too , if needed , and any grounds wo have that are suitable can bo had for thnt purpose. " "So will I do as much , " said Ed Johnston of the Land Syndicate comnany. C. T. Van Alton and Councilman i < red M. Smith both were enthusiastic and offered to do all that may bo necessary. "That will bo a bonanza for us , " enthusiastically said Mr. Smith. South Omaha saloonkeepers and nearly all business men nro delighted over Mayor Broatch's order requiring all saloons in Omaha to bo closed. The general opinion is that it will benefit South Omaha $1,000 u Sun day this summer and some Sundays live times us much. If the order bo enforced South Omaha will become the greatest sport ing city in the west. "That one order , if en forced , " said ono man of semi-sporting pro clivities and semi-business nabits , "will add more than a thousand people to our popula tion ana circulate many thousands of dol- ars. " It has now leaked out that the mooting icld in tbo city hotel Saturday night was quite an important one , and is likely to have an imuortant inllucnce on municipal politics this sprjng. Those who were there will not give any definite information about the busi ness transacted , but it has leaked out , and is generally credited , that it was decided to support either Patrick J. King or Henry McICendry for police Judge. As many of the most influential politicians in the city attended the meeting , its sianliicancn is suoh as to make all other candidates ner vous , Mr. King was formerly a justice of the peace In Carroll county , Iowa , where ho was ono of the leading local politicians. There nro nineteen inetnle moro vuluu- blo than gelds but no remedy which will compare with Bigolow's Positive Cure for coughs nnd colds , A prompt and pleasant euro for throat ana lung troubles. 50 cents and $1.

Yes terday afternoon the horse car company toolc possession of Lake street and laid a temporary track from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-fifth street , northward from Erskino. Rumors of trouble in that vicinity reached the city , but at 1:30 : thin morning the men were rusting , no harm had boon done , and no trouble was expected. The company is putting down a double track , nnd has a gang of thirty men at work. Oa Sherman avenue tno ruin of the drive thnt once was the pride and delight of horsemen was marked by the stable lanterns , draped in red llunnol , that uro owned by the motor company , and hung out as' danger signals. Aside from this all was as quiet , as the slum bers of the mombars of the board of public works , who slept unmindful of the disturb ance they had caused. Chinese NnrlVnntoil In Chill.

Spring has coino , and among the many signs of its approach is ono that the ladles of Omaha BO well rccognl/o Falconer's spring opening. That came last night , nnd from 7 o'clock until long after 0 the entire staff was kept busy In showing each and all the visitors just what fashion demanded they should wear. There were no sales made , for thnt was against the rules , but there will bo money in It for the gonlal proprietor wel comed all alike , either rich or poor , nnd In structed his clorks.to show as much courtesy to the housewife looking for the cheaper class of household goods ns to the lady of Icisuro who spent her time in thinking which of the numerous shades in expensive silks best suited her complexion. And they all were thoro. First they wandered to the dress goods departments and looked over tlio stock of Chuillo do Lnlucs , Henriettas , combination suits nnd Ponynub twills In shades as numerous as the places from whence they came. Across the floor was the silk counter , nnd there shades new and old were on exhibition. Favorite colors for spring wear nro moss olive , old gold , cop- pur , golden brown nnd Goblin blue , with a tint Known ns Nile green , which is n light blue that seems to lese itself in ns Dale n shade of green. With them it the old reliable black silk In all its varied stylos. Next carne the hosiery and In tbo finer grades the tints were in keeping with tlio silks for evening wear , while for commoner use It was such ns the ilrm always keeps. The elevator was kept busy throuchout , in bringing visitors to the upper floors. The second lloor was devoted to a full line of Prlcstly's silk work , cashmeres , nnd Henriettas , nnd embroideries for un derwear. A now Jfeaturo was the display of standard fashion patterns /or those who do tholr own. dressmaking. Be side them was a selection ot books that would do credit to any book store in the city. The third floor was devoted to drap ery , and there a customer could cheese from the rich rugs of Persia to the delicate loco curtains of Brussels. Nottingham or "Irish point. " Household linens from Ireland , table covers from the markets of the world , jewelry in the latest designs nnd ribbons to suit them all , both in tcxturo and shades , com pleted the display , and by 10 o'clock the warehouse was closed and the opening of the spring of 1SS9 recorded. OMAHA GETS llnnk Work or tlio J-into Western As sociation Schedule Committee. According to the schedule adopted in Sioux City last Friday the Western association will open the season m this city with three games between tha Omahas and St.-Jocs , on April 25 , 37 nnd 23. On April 30 and May 1 and 2 Sioux City will bo hero. The local team will then bo gone for two weeks , ploying in Den ver on May 4 , 5 and 0 ; at Sioux City May 8 , , 0 and 10 , nnd nt St. Joe llth , 12th and 18th. They then return homo and collide * with Denver on the 14th , 15th nnd 18th. On the 18th , lUth nnd 20th Sioux City will bo hero for her second series on the homo trrounds , followed by St. Joe on the 22nd , 23rd and 24th. The team then leaves for its second , rlp , playing nt Denver on the 23th , 20th and 27th ; Sioux City 2'Jth , 30 and 81st. This will make ilftocn games for the homo grounds for the months of April and May. There will bo but three games he"ro in June , on 4 , 5 and 0 with Denver. The team will then bo absent for one month , getting back hero for the third scries of games with Sioux CJty.ono on tho2d and two on th'crfthwhich is the Corn Huskers last gamorhero duriug the cntiie season. It will bo thus seen at a glance that the schedule a vary lame ono , inasmuch as during the ilrst two and and half months of , the season Omaha will get. but little-else than Sioux City. What , uiuilo such arrange ments of dates necessary is * something too deep for the ordinary comprehension. Not only will Sioux City bo hero for nine games In the first part ot the season , but' Omaha will be dosed with the sumo team on the big gest and most jubilant holiday of the year , the Fourth of July. The ricxt schedule that ' .s drafted for the Western association such ncompetents as Charles Lord , big Dave Rowe and Sam Morton should bo allowed simply to carry water for the committee.

The following communication has been entTiin BRB : Please let us through your > apcr stnto to the public some facts , which , vithout being corrected , may easily be mis understood. The Merchant , Tailors' ex change , of Omaha , have stated wo have re fused them the privilege of running their own business. This statement is utterly also , and every sooAlblo man knows it is. 3ut we object to lot the Merchant Tailors' exchange or any ono else run our union , os- leciully ns our union is a society of Indus- rious , honest worklngmon , organized to go brward with principle and a knowledge of our trade , nnd not n ring or trust organized to run our own and ( all other people's business. fnl Wo always have nnd always will lethe , ho Merchant Tailors' exchange and ovory- > ody else run their own business , and nt the same time every ono else having the same irivllogo wo want the right to run our own luslnoss. Wo have asked for signatures to our bill without any contract , but the Mer chant Tailors' exchange will sign it only with contract. That is where the matter stands to-day. But as it is ours , as well as ill other mechanics' Interests to bo frco , nnd ot everybody else bo free , wo have rejected any and all contracts nnd give our employers , ho same liberty by not requiring any con tacts to bo signed by them except our scale of prices. As wo have never run or managed tholr business , wo do not know what thov mean by the wordft "running Lheir own business. ' " If they mean to com- - > ol a mechanic that has spent five years to learn his trade , dhd then has from ilvo to iwcnty years' experience , to sit among a lot of scabs who know , 'next to nothing about making fine work , , only to DC outlawed and insulted because ho only can maico ono coat u week , while thp , scab can slash two and thrco roots together , with stitches only , but without shape. Now , the line work costs the most time , and only'can bo made by exper ienced hands , and | hcroforo the scab can make "a job" in rf third part of the time re quired by a moclidiilc that understands his Justness. Anothdr jthlng , the bosses mny moan by running ' their own business is that they can pay us once or twice a month , and wo shall have noiKing to say , as that will bo the way they will run their business. And furthermore , we , "need no contract , ns wo have nn oxecutlyov'board , Which will first see the bosses and ar/juo all differences bo- Toro wo quit work'ancTgo on a strike. When tha bosses ohlyrpu.t-our bill of price , and pay that once n week , rts thoy'havo done the past five year ? , and give us tlio privilege to sit among men nnd make our work , we are sat isfied , and the bosses can run tholr own business for us , nor will wo interfere. Respectfully , The Striking Tailors , Br. J. S. You.N'oquist , Secretary , Compliments to the Tailors , OMAHA , March IS , ISSa. To the Editor of THE Bits : Kindly allow us the use of your columns so that wo may correct a few state ments , as the striking tailors are anxious the public shall not bo misled. So far , in the discussion between the Mer chant Tailors' exchange and the strlulng tailors , wo have confined ourselves to facts nnd existing differences only , while on the strikers' side , with due respect for seine few truthful ones , lying has been their forte and and only stronghold. Any reasonable argu ment presented by us has been mot by divert ing and sympathy begging falcsoboods. Under the circumstances , we wish to nail a few : The latest cry of the dictators is that they wish to work among men so as not to bo in sulted by u comparison in work and a fear that the exchange , who. in tholr beer-befud dled brains , they imagine slave drivers , will pay but once a month. They know that the manner of payment is regulated by custom and not likely to bo changed. Now , m n of the union , will you bo truth ful enough to state to the niuch'Ubuscd pub lic how you find It degrading to sit among the so-called scabs ) As a matter of fact , they are composed of good ex-union men some of them that were such as late as two weeks ago ; and , again , us u mutter of truth , have you not before mid since the strike , had your walking committee cull on all so-called scabs and boducch them to join your union , which would , nt once , transform them Into men and firat-cluss tailors , regardless of merit ] And , again , have you not taken men or so-called scabs right out of our shops since the strike , nnd thereby made them first-class tailors and vour standard of mnn ?

HII.F.XA ; , Mont , , March 17. fSpoclnl Cor- rcspondcncoof TUB HER. ] Political proptiots nnd wlso men , who nro quick to catch onto Ips and pointers , nnd who build xipon this oundatlon surmises nnd theories that induce hem to wngor largo sums of money on 'futures , " or take dcspornto chnnces on the vheol of fortune , will hnvo nn excellent opportunity to put their Judgment to a test if hey will turn their attention to the Montana election next November , after it has thrown aside its territorial habiliments and assumed ho functions of statehood. The democrat or republican who positively claims that his mrly will win the victory , has no substantial > asls for his assertion. Montana will bo n loubtful state. Neither party has nn idvnntngo over the other , in a fair , square , stnnd-up light. Montana has always been a democratic territory. Before the election of Carter for delegate , in No vember , there has never been n republican representative sent to congress , except Clng- gelt , who defeated Warren Toolo In 1S71 , by the small majority of 413 , on a local Issue , nnd the present legislature Is tlio llrst that the republicans have over controlled. The result of the election in November Is no cri- .erlon by which to Judge the coming election. Certainly , It was n phenomenal political cy clone , ns was the astounding defeat of Clove- and and thu result of the election every where. But it proves nothing ns to the actual strength of the two parties in the tor * rltory. It was not a political revolution in any sense. The fact that Toolo ( dom. ) re ceived a majority of over four thousand two years ago and Carter ( rep. ) reversed It this year has no significance , so far as the demo- ocrats are concerned The peculiar condition connected with the November election , nnd the elements that entered into it had more to do with the result than any arguments that Influenced democratic voters to renounce , heir political faith nnd go over to the enemy , The republicans claim that the marvelous change in the vote was duo largely to tlio in creased immigration nnd the position of the republican party on the tariff nuostlon. The jreater part of the immigration , they assort , ins been from the eastern , Now England and northwestern republican states. This may bo true , to n certain extent , but there is nothing on which to base an accurate cstl- nato that the proportion of republicans over democrats was phenomenal. The ropub- icans made a direct nnd distinctive issue on .lie Mills bill , laying particular stress upon .ho the lead and wool facetious , and this nat urally had some effect in roauclug the demo cratic majority slightly. The cry of "free wool" and "free lead" floated in the atmosphere every where ana reverberated over the mountains and in the valleys , and in the towns nnd cities , fanned into a ilory ilarao by the ollv oratory of the stum ) ) speakers , who , by specious argument and harangue , stirred up the masses and bewil dered the crowds until , for the llfo of them , they couldn't convince themselves whether they were protectionists or frco traders. But the lead nnd wool Issues , it must bo admit ted , wore good material for the republican orators , and the democratic speakers and newspapers were placed at a disadvantage in defending the position of the party , owing to the loud but unreasonable clamor that was raised against-tho Mills bill. Him the immigration and the tariff bill Wore not wholly responsible for the defeat of the democratic party at the last election. Causes moro shameful and disgraceful than these brought about the result unexpected dud astonishing to republicans and democrats alike. Treachery ami a lavish expenditure of nionoy were the weapons which were used to stab the democratic party to its death. A few of the trusted leaders , who had boon the recipients of honors from the party , nnd enjoyed its respect and conlldcnco , and are immensely wealthy , have been under sus picion , since the election , of being p.-.i-ticops criailnls In the assassination , and the evi dence that was shown by the result , and the corroborative testimony thut has gradually leaked out , proves conclusively that ilia suspicion Is not unfounded. The deadly lire from the secret enemies of Mr. Clark from the rear , in his own camp , was far moro disastrous and effective in defeating him than all the shot and shell nnd cannistcrtlmt the republicans bombarded him with in the front. The democrats of Montana , a'S ' well us Mr. Clark , realize now how the game was worked , and there is certain to bo u day of judgment for the traitors who cotibidcicd their financial interests of moro importance than tha life and existence of the democratic party ol which they claimed to bo loyal and honorable members , The democrats of Montana are gradually bocomingdtsgustcd with the personal factions in the party , conslstingof four men who seek to control everything and dicta to what shall or shall not bo dona by their political conven tions. There Is a disposition on the part of a largo number of them to revolt against the dynasty that has managed the affaire of the party for BO nian.v long years in , ' tholr Interest and for personal consid erations. This policy , ns anyone knows who has a knowledge of the situation , has pro duced wide-spread dissatisfaction , and sown dissensions. There is a strong undercurrent of sentiment in favor of u chungo. They want harmony and a complete elimination of the elements which have buon the cause tor the awkward predicament in which tlio democrats now llnd themselves. The "fac tions" must tuko a hack scat tor uwhllo , and repent of their shin , and provo tholr loyalty , before anything can bo accomplished in the way of regaining lost ground. If the sumo tactics uro pursued In future as wuro prac ticed in thu last campaign , tlicro will bo no hope , Then every good democrat will start out on the war path with his tomahawk and scalping luiifp , searching l ° r the scalps of those who betray the paity and , under the guise of friendship , piovo to bo the worst enemies , The republicans iiuvo none of this disreputable business in their campaign. They uro solidly united when it comes to u national or state election , nnd pull together with an earnestness m > J enthusiasm that is painfully lacking in the democrats. This Is because tnercliru no bamncles cllnulng to thorn , uml no inclination to cut thu th'rout of ono of their candidates simply for spite or for the express purpose of "protecting' ' ' their Jlnunciul Interests The democrats cuu se lect the governor and representatives nad carry the Ibglsluturg and cliouso two > onii- tors if they will put tl > er | sDouJJors together nnd march in holld phalanx , paying no iittun- lion to the "Icttdora1' who liayo brought dis aster upon the pjrty and whoso bola intprcHt In the party is to control thu legislutuia In ordw tlijit they way oiiloy tha delightful privilege ? of political preferment , and wlio , if they uro foiled In Mivir plans , will contrib ute liberally to tlio ropubllwu campaign to sccuio tiig defeat of Uicfr parly candi dates by way of juvungo.

Yesterday nt 7 6'clook n. in. n gang of fifty men wont to work tearing uo the pavement on Sherman avenue from Grace street south to Clark , They were In the employ of the motor company and the intention Win to lay n track for that rend between tlio streets mentioned , This track is to form a part of the loop nmnlrtg from Seventeenth to Sher man nvenuo on Clark and thence on the avo- tuoto Grace along which it will run to Seventeenth. The appearance of tUo men was a surprise to the property holders on the Lhoroughfnro who linturnlly object to the .wilding of the Hue because of the injury it will do to the street , ns also borauso ot .ho destruction of a drive which Is now open .o all nnd enjoyed by thousands of our pee ple. It was all the moro of n surprise be cause the property owners felt that they were guaranteed Immunity from suoh nn in- llctionbyn reserve clause In the franchise which required the consent of Uircc-fHttis of the property owners on the street before a street railway track could bo laid. The ground upon which the motor com- ) any bnsps Its right to the street is that It acquired It while the same was known ns Sixteenth street. Smco that tlmo , the fact of the name of the avenue having boon changed to Sherman avenue , the company lolds , In no manner Interfere * with its right to the strcot. ThU change la name Is the second that has taken place , the original name being Sixteenth street nnd afterwards changed to Sherman avenue north of Nich olas street. Residents of that vicinity nnd horse 'miciors are making a great protest and yes- , erdny afternoon Susie A. Paddock , Conrad John , \VllUnm G.

Judge Dorno granted the oraer temporarily arily nnd set the case for hearing Saturday , Utiroh 23 , and required the plaintiffs to rlvo bond In tlio sum of $ f > UO. In their petition for nn injunction the > lnintifTs admitted that the motor company lad n f ranchlso to enter the streets of Omaha ind construct railroads , but they assort that , ho franchise was given the company on the condition that it should in the construction and equipment , use cooperation of its lines ) f wires nnd road , bo guided nnd controlled > y the laws of the city In relation to securing o property owners any damages they , inay or might sustain by reason of entering such street. Inquiry was made , nnd it was ascertained hat the permit to tear up the street had been given Saturday night by Chairman Bnl- combo , of the board of public works. Mayor Broatch , when nskod for hU opin- on In the matter , said that ho did not think .ho board of public works mcuiit simply ho chairman of the board , and that an effort would bo made to get an injunction from the district court restraining the company from lurther proceedings. Tlio mattdr has been ) laccd In the hands of City Attorney Web ster. ster."Why was it necessary to issue the permit after business hours , Mr. Balcombol" aakod the reporter. "Well , I wasn't hero during the afternoon , nnd did not return until night. " "Is it legal to grant permits in such n man ner 1" "It has often been done iuthocasoof horse car nnd cabin line comoanios , nnd I can't see why it isn't perfectly legal in this case. " "But the fact thai the permit was issued late Saturday night and the company begun work early Monday morning leads to a suspicion of Irregularity of some kind , nnd don't you think that tins will bo urged in con- icction with tlio request for nil injunction ! " "Oh , I suppose so. I guosa wo will got i 1 from the mayor and council anyway to-morrow night , but under the ordinance we could do nothing else , " nnd the major put on ills top coat and wont to lunch. The major claims that ) io had a perfect right to issuetlio permit under the ordinance passed In July granting the Omaha Motor company the right to build nnd operate lines 511 certain streets Including the entire length of Sixteenth Htrcct. At the mooting' of the board Yestsrday Superintendent Smith of the horao car company nnd W. B. Morse , of the cable company , wore present with a request that , a permit be granted the horse cur company to extend its line north on Sixteenth strcot two blocks from Lake. This was evidently desired > sired in order that the motor company might bo practically shut off on Sixteenth. The board took the request under consideration until to-day , The horse car compiny was granted per mission to extend Its line on Sixteenth from Farnam to Dodge , on Sixteenth two blocks north from Nicholas , and on Lake from Six teenth to Eighteenth.
