The description of the dining hall nnd the
dinner as It appeared in Tin : Bun the day
uf tor Thanksgiving was as follows :
The dining hall was ono which will bo re
membered. It was the art room furnished
for the occasion. Pictures rare nnd old
nmlled down upon the assembled guests.
Mary , the mother of the Savior , with her
White hands crossed upon her virgin breast ;
the Christ child with his sweet , sad face sur
rounded by n halo of glory , looked down ujion
the scone ; "Tho Queen of Scots , " just before
the execution'VTho ; Teaching in the Tem
ple , " when the wise men of old were put to
hamo for their ignorance , were there , and
there were innocent babes in cradles with
fond mothers watching over them ; sweet
hearts meeting at the trystlng place in the
Bummer twilight , stern , grltn men of war
With thirsty battle axes ; there were pastoral
Rccnes. wheio the gentle kino were
lying at rest , and country church
yards with the white headstones that
mark the last resting places of these that are
.gone , gleaming in the moonlight. There
were pictures of the monks of old and the
clergy of today , and of the dovotcet of Bac
chus and the apostles of mirth , and they all
Bmilcd upon the assembled guests.
The ball was a perfect symposium of
beauty. In addition to the pictures there
were llowors of every description. The
croon fern In all its verdant splendor noodcd
Its head over the chrysanthemum , while the
tea rose mingled its fragrance with the flow
ering maple , and the geranium exchanged
whispers with the ll'y. '
It wns a pleasing sight , indeed.
The tables were arranged in the form of a
U , at the , head of which'sat the host , and
with him D. H. Mercer , A. L. Strung ,
Tnoinns Swobo nnd W. F. Bechol.
As soon ns the guests were coaled letters of
regret from W. J. Broatch , Frank E Moores ,
John Clarke nnd C. K. Coutnnt were read , af
ter which the good things provided were dis
cussed" .
When the repast had been concluded E , P.
Davis , chairman of the Into republican con
vention , called the assembly to order and an
nounced that "the business of the adjourned
_ , convention nt Washington hall" would pro
ceed. Dick Berlin moved trial the rules bo
imspcnded and , but wns called to order by
D. II. Mercer , who declared that Berlin wns
not a member of the convention. Amid howls
of mirth Dcrlln subsided and is not supposed
to bo hoard from until next Tuesday. Moso
O'Brien then moved a call of wards and Sec
retary Shelley was called to the desk.
' 'First ward. "
"Seven for Llninger , " was the response.
"Second ward , "
"Seven for Dr. Mercer. "
"Third ward. "
But hero Dr. Mercer arose and asked that
the Third ward bo passed because of a con
test and for the fact that there were two dele
gations.
On motion It was decided that the sitting
delegation bo admitted whereupon the Third
Ward cast seven votes for A. L. Strong.
"Fourth ward. "
"Sovon votes for Thomas Swobp. "
"Fifth ward. "
"Seven votes for W. J. Broatch. "
"Sixth ward. "
"Ditto. " '
"Seventh ward. " :
"Sovon votes for A. L. Strung. "
"Eighth ward. "
"Seven votes for W. J. Broatch.1
"Ninth ward. "
"Ditto. "
This repetition of the recent convention
caused a merry laugh , , but the next count
which swung In sixty-throo votes for G. W.
Llninger , was greeted with tumultuous
cheers.
Speeches were made by a number of dclo-
' pates und finally E. P. Davis , who had pre
sided nt the convention and acted as presid
ing genius at the banquet , arose in his seat
' /mid proposed that each and every person
present raise his hand nnd pledge himself to
Maud by and light for Llnlugcr until the sun
wont down on election dnv. They all rose , to
u man , and with uplifted hands pledged their
sacred honor with Davis to support and fight
for Llninger until the clay was won.
Within twenty-four hours nftcr this scene
n secret caucus wns hold nt which
nn oath-bound club was organized
nnd christened the Twenty-eight club , with
the avowed purpose to knife Liningor ut the
election. This political conspiracy wns ro-
Bcnted and repudiated by C. It. Coutnnt , W.
W.Ko.vy > r. D. P. Knight nnd later on by
1. N. I'hllllns , who declined to bo parties to
the dastardly political plot. The chib was ,
liowovjr , organized , and among its chieftains
were Wheeler , Davis nnd Chuftoo of the
council combine , who { lid tlioii
share of the political bushwhack
ing by which Llninger was
done up at the election last December.
Curses , llko chickens , como home to roost ,
The republican primary elections , which will
boi hold ] today on the Anniversary liny ol
the organization of the Twenty-eight club ,
will douUtlesti witness the overthrow of the
lost of the treacherous politico' '
desperados , who with bravado on their lips
nnd treason In their hearts , accepted the gciv
crous hospitality of George W. Linlngor or
last Thanksgiving day only to deceive ntic !
betray and sell him out to promote their owe
Bclflsb und mercenary cuds.

i.N SCOURS A V1OTOUV.
A Thrilling Game of Foot Hall nt the
Ilnll I'nrk ,
There wns n great game of foot ball nt the
park yesterday afternoon the Young
ten's Christian association of this city
gainst the Nebraska stata university team
f Lincoln. The contest was under the col-
Hugby rules , nr.d was about ns rough-
nd-tumblo nn affair as nn out-door sport
x > uld possibly be.
The crowd In attendances was quite largo
.nd . extremely partisan. It was a stubbornly
ought battle from start to finish nnd not-
vlthstnndlng Its onesldcdncss was Intensely
xhllnratlng.
An enthusiastic crowd of students , with
adlos , were In attendance , nnd while oxtil-
antly flaunting the colors of the university
cam , they made the nir vibrato with
he college slogan. Owing to some hitch in
ho- arrangements the game was not called
until half past a , but the amount of esprit
nnd vim thrown into tlio contest from the
utset fully counterbalanced this trivial dis
appointment.
The referees were Hill for Omaha and
tlnrsland for .Lincoln , while the Mold cap-
alns were Cramer and Mackot respect-
vely.
The college team Is composed of a lusty set
if young ntliletcs , whontjonco demonstrated
hat they have made no little progress in the
iclenceof. the game. They appeared on the
leld in neat canvas uniforms , re-
loved by block stockings nnd caps.
The Young Men's Christian asso
ciation boys , so for as brawn
and muscle go , nro but little inferior to the
ollcgo crow , but in nothing llko their excel-
cut playing form. Their uniforms were
'anvn * Jackets and knickerbockers , with
scarlet caps nud stocking , scarlet and white
being their colors.
After the usual equable which must always
> recede any athletic sport , the toss was won
> y Lincoln nnd they chose the south goal.
The two sides wcro'thcn drawn up In battle's
stern array nnd nt a signal from the referees
'ho light began. The first achievement was
t ' 'safety" at the hands of the college
) oys , The ball by dint of superhuman
effort was forced up to the Y. M. C. A's. goal
and being passed over the line , two points
were chalked up for the visitors.
The game was played in two halves , nnd
joforo the first hart expired the old gold
mights lidded another "safety" to their
store , leaving the standing :
Lincoln , Omaha 0.
After the usual fifteen minutes' rest the
struggle wns resumed with renewed energy
and determination.
A.t tbo opening the ball was "kicked off"
jy Lincoln and sent back toward their goal.
It was then forced down the Held by some
clover work , and the third "safety" scored
by the visitors.
Omaha was much crestfallen , but more
resolute than over , but dcsplto their most
tremendous efforts they were unable to check
the onrush of the doughty college boys , and
ilfteen minute later n "touch down" was
imong their trophies , It being made possible ,
liowovor , at the bands of nn over anxious Y.
M. C. A. Lincoln made a desperate effort
for a "gonl " but failed , yet the end of the
second half loft them tbo victors by a score
01 10 to 0.
Then the hilarious students In the grand
stand shot off their college war-cry until the
welkin rang.
Following arc the names and positions of
the two teams :

After Danny Shannon.
President McCormlcK of the Omaha bal
club Is negotiating with Danny Shannon t (
play second base and captain the team noxi
season. His prospects for securing bis mar
nro good as Shannon says ho would lllto verj
much to come to Omntin. Ho played hero Ir
' 38 , but owing to sickness wns unable to gel
In Ids usunl form , consequently did not plaj
the game ho was capable of. Ho mndo i
great record with the Now York Brother
hood team last season , and will evidently b (
among the stars In ' 91. Danny was a greal
favorite here , owing to his gentlemanly do
nortinent on nud off tbo ball ileld , and will be
warmly welcomed back. Ho possesses overj
qualification for a field captain , and will undoubtedly
doubtodly prove a godsend to tbo local clut
should trioy b } successful In securing him.

How They Scoured the Contract for
Steam Ilcatlntf the City Ilnll.
Mr. John Ko\vo , the well known senior
member of the llrra of John Ilowo & Co. , tells
the following pretty story of the combine In
the matter of letting the contracts for the
erection of the city hull.
Ho said that Mr. Coots , the contractor ,
bad called on him and asked him to bid on
the steam-heating nnd plumbing for the build
ing and that ho finally agreed to do so. Ho
put In a bid and when Coots saw It ho said
that It was the lowest.
"Tho job is yours , " ho continued , "If I got
the contract. "
"Later , " said Mr. Rowe , "Mr. Coots and
myself went to sco the other bids opened and
ho offered to deduct the coat of the steam
heating nnd plumbing from the main bid
and Icavo the council td'Select Its own man.
The amount of the separate bid was $30,750-
This was the lowest on , the steam -heating
and plumbing. /
"About a week or ten days afterward ,
oots came to my partner ! f. Hiu'f , while I
was out of town aud , said that Baker &
Smith of Chicago had nlnan in town ,
"Mv partner nsnod him"what wo had to do
with Baker & Smith or their man.
" 'Oh , nothing,1 Coots said , 'but ' BolndorfE
wants to glvo them the contract for the
stciim heating nnd you the plumbing. Now ,
wouldn't it bo batter fpc you aud Mr. Rowe
to take u couple hundred dollars and back
out of this business ! '
"My partner told hlmrtuat I was out of
town , but that ho knowwpll that I would not
consent to do anything of the kind , because 1
nnd ho Know that our bWwas lowest.
"Some time uftcr mj\ return , Coots came
around again , nud we talked the matter over
In Jiist about the1 saino way , and
Coots said ho did not know why
wo should want to inako such n stlnic over
the in alto r. At the sumo tlmo ho told us that
Davis wanted to give us the steam beating
and Krco the plumbing.
"Well , nothing was said about the matter
for sonio tlmo until a couple
of days before Sayward came lioro
Visiting the builders' exchange. Davis then
came to mo and asked If I had signed the con
tractor. I told him I had not , Ho said you
had better go nnd see Mr. Coots because It has
been arranged that wo should got the steam
heating und FVco tlio plumbing , thus roviirs-
IIIR the arrangement.
"Then Mr. Houk saw Coots and nskod It
that job had been let , and Coots said that it
had not ; that hc did not know what to do ;
Unit pressure was brought to bear on him
from all around and that ho wns
botwcnn two ilros ; that Davis wanted
the steam boating to go to us and the plumb
ing to Free.
"Now , ono wcok ago last Tuesday night
the contract'vn ' . for Baker & Smith to
do the steam boating and Proo the plumbing.
"Now , 1 know that my bid was the lowest ,
lower than Froo'a by $330 , nud that I
should have been awarded the contract , mine
was the lowest unless Free came down after
the figures were put in.
"Since then , Davis ha ? sent his friends
around to try nnd Jlnd out how I feel toward
him. Grant came and Wyllo nnd several
others and said that they didn't
want to have any trouble about electing
Davis in the ward. I told told them what I
have told you nnd bow I feel about It , and
that I was going to make trouble abouUlt and
show up what Davis has done. "
