SMOKING AFFECTING LABUR. Great Doorcase In the Number of Cigars and Cheroots. I POWER IN AMALGAMATION. Increased Deninnil for Laborers nnd the Forpo of Men Now Required by Hie Now I lootrlo Hulls - s , Etc. , Ktc. Ijnbor nnd Hrnnlcc. According to oport by the Associated Pi ess the Intornnlional Cignrmakers' union Is not in a condition to bo desired by thu mem bers. I'resjdent SU'osser's report made on AVodnesday last is to tlio effect that employ ment is gradually decieusmg. While there is nu Increase forthoyenrlStS SU in the number of cigars and cheroots manufactured that.in- crcaso is much less than the increase of 18SO- 87. The astounding Information is promul gated that In Now York City alone there lias boon a decrease in union' manufactured cigars nnd chorootsof 21,07.1,782 as compared with the fiscal year previous. The order' holds Its own ns legnrds membership , the figures lioiug 10,001) , ) In round numbers. iiegardlng the dociease In prgductlon one of thu members of tlieOmulm union says : "In thu llrst pluro foreign competition has much to ( lo with it. Tlio mucking public is divided into "two classes , the wealthy who can afford an expensive smoke and the middle and lower classes who indulge In the cheaper grades ot cigars. The former smoke n great deal more than the latter as a matter of course. Tlio cigars smoked oy thu former uro Imported In a manufactured BUUO nibtend of being sent hero in the shape of raw material. They can bo manufac tured much cheaper abroad than at homo , because labor is cheaper. If the duty on the manufactured article was increased and that on the raw material lowered , then the fcradcs mentioned would bo manufactured in this country instead of abroad. Tills would Iiolp us some. The labor unions could mate rially assist us If they would. They could create a demand for iinlon-mndo cigars sim- lily by going into places wliero they are not kept nnd asking for them. I know of an in stance where a dealer who at one tlmo re fused positively tp handle union-made goods now handles no other. Some of thu boys noticed that all his cigars wjro of scab man ufacture. Then they organized nnd wont for him. Livery day three or four people in n bunch would go in nnd ask for a cigar. When ho would set up his box they would hunt for thu union label , and not Imding It would refuse to buy. Now ho only handles union-made goods , uud says ho wauld'tit ' soil any other , "As u rule , the second class saloons are our best frlouds. They all null union made cigars. The uway-up places do not. Or course lliuir imported havunus uro not , neither are tlio domestics. Wo don't ask thuui to forego Imported dgais , but If they would hutullo uiuon-miuiudomestics it upuld be it HI eat thing for us. 'I ho Ouvihu unions ura helping us all they can and we apprcclalu thnir efforts. "Speaking of the union the annual meet Ing of which Is uowln session in New York city , u now arrangement regarding representa tion has boon made. Unions with a member ship of 100 arc npw entitled to a delegate , tybcroas u membership of i.00 was formerly required. " The comiolldatloii of the employes of the TJuIou I'aclilu.rond jnto one body known as tlio Jjrotherbood of Hallway Employes Which , | m boon under consideration for BOIUO time , has at last IH < CU accomplished , aud the liiolhorhood of Engineer * which uieeta la Denver October 10 will have a chance to ratify or reject the action of the Union Puolloongir ! : rs , t It sees fit. Thu movement Is uurely a west ern one and will , no doubt , bovigorouly opposed by Chief Arthur's tupportors who still adhere to his principle , "No entangling ullancei with other trades. " Western men , however , who are opposed to bis ro election , trill advorata u rullllcutiou of the movement and xvill urge that employes of other sys tems take similar action. The failure of the brotherhood , to carry its point on the Chiuago , Burlington & Quincy will bo cited , nnd in all probability the action of the Union Pacific men will be endorsed. The various organizations in the federa tion will act throueh an executive board chosen from the mcmboisliin of each society. Their action will be linal in all cases. Should tlio section men have a grievance and they arc , ns a rule , members of the 1C. of L. that grievance will bo submitted to the executive bourd , who will present it to the manage ment for settlement. Arbitration will bo the means of settlement. Then if the com pany refuses to nrbitrato.concontruted action will follow. At a signal every wheel on the ontlro system stop. It is a powerful federation. The general opinion is that the annual meeting of encuiccrs will endorse the action. V'rnnmii Is said to have a major ity of the delegates and Yroman is a Union Pacific man. The grading and paving contractors still continue to want men for vat ions kinds of work. It is not deemed advisable to advertise in ether towns , however , forfoar.ol.un inllux of laborers. * When the consolidated lines have com pleted tlio task of changing their road to an electric line , the number of men employed will bo nearlv doubled. While the number of trains will not equal the slnglo cars now in use It will equal nt least two-thirds ns many. And instead of one man tno will bo employed. At the power house n large force will be required , while n gang of line men of no mean proportions will bo kept constantly in service. > W. M. Smith , president of the Omaha Harbors' union , thinks it very strange that the Omaha ton&orlal at lists do not take u more lively interest in organization than they nt present manifest , ilo claims that tlio barbers' union Is supposed to meet semi monthly , but that over two months have nlapscd since the last session. The organ- 1/ors and leading men seem to bo losing in terest , a. fact that ho ran not account for. Over one-half or thu members are behind in their duos and assessments , while the executive committee seems to have elapsed into a condition of dreamy idleness. The task of unionizing rat shops Is prac tically untouched and many other matters which might have been attended to uro loft without attention. Smith thinks the union will go down unless sonio strenuous efforts are made in its behalf , Another memborof thoiinlon acknowledged that tlio society was on its last IO M , but as sorted that mismanagement was the cause. Instead of electing Journeymen officers , pro prietors wore chosen , who wore at heart op posed to the union , The latter tried to make tlio society a social ono instead of one organized for mutual benefit , Until a change is made no reform may bo looked for , and unless something is'donu the barbers' union will Boon bo u thing of the past , ' The Union Pacific shopmen are not through "kicking" at George \V. Gushing , Buperliituiulent of motive poiver mid ma chinery , For the past six years ninohouis has constituted a day's work. Cushlng's first action was to cut thu number of hours to eight , the pay being reduced accordingly. Formerly time and half time was allowed for overwork , but Custnng abolished tins rule. His latest Is an Increase of one hour per day without any increase in piy , Some thing may drop before long , as the men are In a mood to resort to oxtrcmo measures. * The non-union men at Gibson , Miller & liichardsou's are said to bo dissatisfied , and a walkout may occur. Dictatorial manage ment. Is said to be the basis of the trouble. The claim is set up that in the matter of wages there uro numoious cuts for alleged ruined Jobs. Gibson says this is all bosh and that there is nothing in it. Dumb I' up I In Arriving. The pupils of the deaf and dumb Institute are arriving In the city daily.

A BOGUS MEDICAL INSTITUTE. Olllcero of tlio Law Placed Upon Tliolr Traolc and a Howard Offered For Tliolr Arrest nnd Conviction. B wnro of Them. A dispatch was received hero yesterday , stating that parties , claiming to bo loading physicians of a largo medical establishment in this city , were trying to soil notes nt Ode- bolt , la , , which they had obtained there from farmers under the representation that they were connected with the institution in ques tion. They had printed matter , circulars , etc. , which wcro ID Imitation of thosq used by the Omaha Medical and Surgical insti tute , of this city , and which would lead the unsuspecting to suppose that they had been gotten up by that institution. Inquiry at the institute , however , showed that the note- sellers had no connection with the instltu- , tion. Tlio proprietor stated that ho had Ijocn annoyed repeatedly by parties claiming to hail from the Omaha Medical institute. Ho accordingly telegraphed at once and notified the police that ho had olTured a 'reward for the arrest and conviction of parties claiming to represent him. f / Later dispatches from the city marshal of Odobolt gave a clue to their Ideality. 4A rb- portcr of TUB HUB , following the clue , un earthed a number of their circulars , and dis covered their licadquartois la this city. Tlio former sot forth that they possessed a largo infirmary , located at tno corner of Fifteenth and Howard streets , In the Shcoly bleak , the lawyers , business men , nnd other occu pants of which will learn for tlio first tlmo through Tin : lieu that they reside in an in- stitutlon of that kind. Tito circular also uro- claims that they have a largo faculty of phy sic-inns , accommodations for boarding pa tients , ota , etc. lu reality , they linvo simply a . couple of cheaply furnished rooms , dosti'uto ' of ap paratus and f nullities for doing medical busi ness. The names of the proprietors of this alleged establishment us set forth in their circular are H. F. McCoy and T. II. Ensor , M , D. Many complaints have rnuehod this city before In regard to the operations of such parties front their victims , scattered throughout the country. A druggist on Lc'tivenwonh and Seventeenth streets states that tliuy formerly purchased medicines of him , but us they failed to pay what they owed , and caused him trouble by tneir nu merous victims writing to him on account of his labels bolng on their bottles , ho refused to liavo anything more to do with them. The expediency to which they hnvo now icsortcu shows , In ; the estimation of thnsu who Unow them , that they are undoubtedly pre paring for u grand raid upon the farmers of Iowa and Nebraska , taking advantage of the well-known reputation and extensive advertising of Omaha's only medical estab lishment , and thus gulling persons living at n ctistanco from tlio city. They are also putting themselves in trim , It Is believed , for u term in the penitnntliiry , because by representing themselves as having an insti tution which they have not , or leading tlioir patrons to believe- that they repreaeut a per manent institution hero , they are obtaining money under falsa protnnsos. Tlioy will un doubtedly bo prosecuted , as it is understood n largo number of farmers have already combined for that purpose. When last heard from they wcro at Odcbolt , la. , under the watchful care of the city marshal. The circular of this outllt is a brazen steal from that of tlio Omaha Medical Institute in both mutter and appearance , while on it is. also blazoned as manager a party boasting the name of MuMonaioy , which Is also the name of the proprietor of tno Omaha Modi * cal Institute.

Tno Omaha Medical Institute , both In protection ot itself nnd in the interest of the farmers of both Nebraska and Iowa , has flooded these stoles with circulars setting forth that Drs. Malla Howard and McMo- namy and those with numerous other names are taking notes nnd selling them to the banks. The circular further Btntos that the Bank of Ute bought Rorao of these notes on which farmers' namoa were forged , Tbo circular further states that these people are frauds , and that they have no right to rep resent the Omaha Mcdia.il Institute , which has no agents in Iowa and which Is the only , medical instltuto m Omaha. The circular further asserts that because of these men the institute has bean compelled to withdraw its representatives from that stato. Lastly , the institute requests every bank to telegraph when these people offer it paper for sale so that the Institute in this citv may aid in the detection of the fraud and the protection of the' bank U3 well as of the bouost farmers who do business with it.

IEK , | liej P STHEHT , LINCOLN , Nob. , Sept. ,21.J , The republicans of Lancaster county held their pi imary election to-day. In the Third , Fifth and Sixth wards there was a red hot light , and the factions fought as earnestly us the parties do at the polls at the election proper. Until this morning It was thought that but/mo delegate ticket vyotild bo pre sented in the Third ward. Owing , however , to the cast otjho , delegation put up at a cau cus last ulght , which meant Maxoy Cobb for treasurer and Toin Carr for sheriff , there were a boat of rebels In camp this morning , uud the friends of Burnham and Griffith nqt , together , made up a ticket. Inthe Fifth ward the friends of lloxib and JMcCluy , both candidates for sheriff- locked .hocus ; also Cobb aud Burn- bum. , , The friends ofjthosocandidates con tested every lnohx > f ground. In the Sixth ward It woH Chtlrcbill for county clerk and Hunger for "sheriff against Sam McClav , who is said 'to" 'bo' prominent In the race for thort Mtor position. The result of the coniest in these wards can not bo determined at this tlmo.

The conven tion convenes on Monday , In the" < Hber wards and procmots the elec tion passed pll quietly and good fooling pro- vailed. Senator Hnymond led the fight ngaihst'tho Cobb people In the Third ward. Later The result of the primaries ad vances Cobb stock for treasurer. Ho won in the First , Second , Third and Fifth wards. It IH thought , liowover , thntUiirnhnm's gains in the country will overbalance what ho lost in the city , Carr and McClay balance for shoilff. Trompsen , too , will have some votes. Churchill for county cleik was knocked out In the bixth , his homo ward. Burnhnm's friends uro still confident that ho will win for county treasurer. The Oooil Tlmo ACT. A rjucstiorrof Interest was suggested to TUB Bnc correspondent to day. A widow lady who has a bon In the penitentiary , and whoso term , deducting the benefits earned by the good tlmo act , will expire in about ten days , applied to the governor for a pardon. Shu desired him to receive this executive favor .so that ho micht be restored to his civil and political rights. Tlio governor do- cliiiod to interfere for this reason , holding that the benefits derived from the good tlmo act amounted to the ramu as a pardon nnd restored the beneficiary to his full citizen- shiu. Speaking of this a well known lawyer said : "If this holding is correct , and at first glance it looks to bo so , It will affect the citi zenship of many cx-coiivlcts lu this state.

Tia | pressure , was HO great that I bad Vo let him go to work at tha primaries. I had to sot mv foot down hard or I wouldn't have had nn officer on the force to-day. " From another source that is considered authentic it is learned that yesterday after noon the marshal had accused Pound with having said : "The mayor is coming to his senses. Ho has appointed Green night captain nnd if Carder don't look out ho will got it in the neck. " Pound donlcd that ho had made such a re mark and they separated. ThU morning when Officer I'ound reported for duty Sor- gca t Mullcr hnr.dfed him a note informing him that ho was suspended until the return of the mayor. A Ijlttlo nin [ > . Quite a lively flro occurred between. 8 and 0 o'clock this evening in n barn back of the Bentley block , on South Ninth street. The department responded promptly and the flro was soon extinguished.
