Schuctzenvcrelii Tournament.
The flrst day's shoot at the fourth annual
tournament of the Omaha Schuotzonvorcin
took place at the club's range at Huser's
park yesterday.
The day was magniticent , the sky and wind
both being in favor of the shooter , and as a
consequence some heavy scores were made.
The range at Uusor's park Is
ono of the most complete in the
west , with Its thorough system of
scoring , marking and record. This is uiado
possible by the system of electrical boll = ,
which record each marksman's shot imme
diately after llring , which is entered in the
secretary's books botoro tbo smoke clears
away. This renders it Impossible for n con
fusion of pcoros , and each shooter knows
when the shoot is over , that his recorded
scoi-u is exactly wha * , ho made. Thus
after the trial has been completed
it is nn easy matter to aggrotrnto
each shot's ' work , There is no possible
cbanco for dispute or controversy.
There was a nice crowd at tlio park yester
day , Including a largo proportion of ladles ,
and all seemed to to much Interested in the
fortunes of the various competitors.
Thu shooting began as early as 8:30 : , when
there was no moro than a score or two of the
old guard present , but before they bad been
nt work long thu riflemen began to
pour in , seemingly from i > ll directions' . By 0
o'clock there was In the neighborhood of
thirty men toeing the scratch and plugging
away nt the distant bulls-eye.
The shoot for the stuto medal and tbo
match between John Petty and Fred Fuller
will oo shot , this afternoon at the conclusion
of tha club shoot.

Fort Sheriilaii lliflo Hange.
Ciiic.vno , 111. , Sopt. 12. Drizzling rain was
falling and the skies wcro threatening when
the marksmen in the United States army
tournament began to shoot at Fort Sheridan
riingo today. It was the last days skirmish
ing for the infantrymen and also their last In
tbo army competitions.
Sargeant Byron Merwin , company 13 , Fif
teenth regiment , stationed at Fort Sheridan ,
made the phenomenal score of 11 ! ) points in
his morning run. It was the best run ever
made on tbo. range , and probably wins for
Morwln the James S. Kirk purse of 850 , of
fered to the enlisted man making the best
skirmish run.
The skirmish for a .berth on the army rillo
team was stubbornly contested by the thirty-
live infantrymen , who strove to be one of
the fortunate ten , and It is thought brought
out bettor shooting Uinn has ever been uono
in piovious army contests.
When the afternoon shoot began , tbo
weather had cloaroa'and ' the final test was
soon over. Sergeant Morwin added another
131 points to his score , making Ills avorngo
for the day Ml , and firmly establishing him
self at the head of iho' distinguished rillomuii ,
with a total score of ( TTO.
Sergeant J. W. Davis , company B , Six
teenth regiment , came second with a score of
550 , and Corporal Swcinhart , company D ,
Tvventy-socond , thinTwIth 540points. Among
the contestants for places on the army rillo
Sergeant F. HosejiCo'iHpan.y A , Eighteenth ,
scored 13li , makinfj-bi3 avoracro for the day
125 , and his total for the four days 5SU ,
but eight points less than the highest score
over made with n rifle , which was 597 and
made by Lieutenant Ilumsoy , at Fort Bayard
last year.
Tbo run that elicited by far the most sur
prise wits Lieutenant O'Brien's ' score of 130
points , which , together with his score of 123
in the forenoon , made his uverago for the
day 130. Thursday morning O'Brien ranged
thirty-first among the rifle team meo. When
ho fired his last shot tonight he was seventh ,
had a place on the team with a silver modal ,
and had so far won two gold medals , vU. :
Tlio Chicago Herald modal , offered to
tbo ofllcer making tbo highest total
skirmish score , and the. Shiroloy modal to
the ofllcer making the highest skirmish run ,
O'Brien's total score in the skirmishing is
2-11 ! , and his score of a single run was 13i > . It
Is expected that in any of tbo cavalry oillcers
to shoot tomorrow will seriously endanger
O'Brien's chances for the much coveted
trophies.
Sergeant Frost will , In nil probability , bo
$ 200 richer than when ho came from the
plains of Texas.
The Chicago Herald purse of $100 for the
hignest total score , in both known distances
and skirmish firing made by an enlisted man.
is so far his , won by his score of 5Si ) , and the
Chicago. Tribune purse of $100 for the high
est total skirmish score , is apparently won
by his skirmish score of 251.
The following will ho the army rillo team
for the ensuing year , the Ilrst four being
awarded gold moduls and the last six medals :

Thought.
There nro some things connected with the
city council mid the iiinnnof tii which that
body conducts city business Unit surpasses
nil human undcr.stnmllng.
Tlrno niul again stories hove been
rlfo upon tuo streets thnt inomuors
hnvo boodlod nnil taken bribes fiom
contractors anil other parties who have bcou
interested In eontrnots , or wanted Jobs pul
through according to the most appruveil
stylo. These stories huvo always oeon
laughed down by the inunlclpnl lawmnnors ,
nud afterwards they have pursued the oven
toner of their ways.
Just now thcro Is a story nlloat that refuses
to down without a thorough and searching
Investigation.
Some two months ago the council decided
to advorttso for bids for furnishing the now
city hall with fnrnltiiro. Bids were rub-
llshod In duo form and a short tliuo there-
otter agents for the Kotcham Fur-
nlturo company of Toledo , O. , and
the Andrews Furniture company ol
Chicago appeared upon the scene.
These gentlemen were "hall fellows , well
mot , " and soon tundo friends by the score.
They established themselves at the best ho
tels lu the city , and In their rooms entertained -
tainod like kings. Champagne was constant
ly on tap nnd cigars were as free
as the health giving winds of the
Nebraska prairies. The rooms were
visited by some of the members
of the council , who madu these places their
favorite resorts. ! n fact , there was a strife
between the men to see which would show
the city lathers the grcatesc courtesies.
All wont well for a time atul the bids were
submiUeed In sealed covers.
AVIiy nil This Was Tims.
One niirht at a regular moot
ing the proposals were opened
for the inspection of the council.
Tlioy were not Intelligible , aad consequently
were rejected nnd the cleric instructed to re-
ndvortiso. The gentlemen were not discour
aged on account of the delay. They proposed
to no u littlu haying while the sun was shin
ing , so tbo.v sent homo for their winter
clothing and sottlcd down for an all winter's
siege.
Again the bids were opened but there were
other competitors in tha field. The Dewey
A ; Stone Furniture company mid Cady &
Gray entered the arena , and as Omaha man
ufacturers askud for the contract. All of the
bids wont to the committee on pub
lic property and buildings , and for
three weeks that committee has worked
night and day to got them In shape to present -
sent to the council for consideration.
That the members of this committee hnvo
ronollod and resisted the tempters goes with
out saying , but It is doubtful if some ether
members can say as much if they would toll
the the truth , the whole truth aiid nothing
but the truth.
It is common street talk that in this matter -
tor councilmcn have been bought and sold
like cattle , and things have occurred that
lonu color to the.se reports.
"Merely Aiinronulicd. "
Not many moons ago while in the council
chamber Messrs. Chaft'ee , Davis and lour
other couueilrnen were approached by a man
who acted fur an outside furniture company.
Ho Informed the gentlemen that ho
could - make it "an object for them
to vote for the award to his house ,
lie was asked if then ) was anything in it
and in once volunteered thu information that
there was.
Mr. Davis consulted with his colleagues
nnd it was decided to take the tellow's money
and as soon as tuo council was called
to order bring the matter before
the body and there and then
denounce the fellow and his methods.
The plan did not work , ns the main failed to
appear , nnd since that time has not , talked
with any of the gentlemen with whom ho
tlrst held his conversation. Possibly ho took
a now tuck and possibly ho did nut , but one
thing is certain , that a few days later
two councilmcn visited Council Uluffs ,
where they made n protracted stay.
When they departed for the Iowa town they
were pronounced ICeteham Furniture com
pany men , but upon their return their voices
were tuned In another key , and since that
time have shouted long and loud for the An
drews company ,
The change of heart might have no partic
ular bearing upon the case were there not
other facts of a most Interesting nature con
nected with the case.
Its Unr'l Was On Tap.
It has been an open secret for many days
that a certain outsldo furniture company had
on deposit the sum of $1,500 In one of the
Council HlnfTs banks. It has also been n
boast that the money was for the purpose of
controlling the votes of nine councilmcn
when the bid of this company went before
the council for approval or rejection.
TJesides the disbursing agency nt Council
Uluffs , there have boon ether things that
have happened nearer at home. Councilmen
Imvo partaken ol rich dinners nnd wino
suppers at some ol thu fashionable ( i ) restau
rants in the city , and it has been openly
charged that outsulo bidders on furniture
have footed the bills on thu following day.
Our agent of a certain turntturo company
in u conversation stated that if ho had to re
main in Omaha much longer his house uould
have to mortgage the homo plant in order to
liquidate the bills , It Is n well known fact
that the bids submitted by the two fnrelen
nouses are between 10,000 and S.YJ.OOt ) for
furnlihing thu uuildine , while that sub
mitted by the Dewey & Stone company and
Air. Coots was originally only $ ISKK ( ) . Mr.
ICierstend of the Dewey & Stone company
was informed that his plans provided" for
enouch furniture for furnishing two snub
buildings. Ho at once scaled down
his bids , and when through , they
showed thnt the entire furnishing would not
cost to exceed $21,000. Ol this amount
Slli.OOO would furnish all of the htnttonarv
furniture , such as counters , railings , standIng -
Ing desks , etc. The bid for the movable
furniture was scaled down to ? . "i,00J ( and
then it provided for an nbnndnnco of o > ory-
thlng. This bid U now in thu hands of the
committee.
Anxious to See Foreign SnmpleH ,
In the mutter of Investigating the merits of
the goods of the respective bidders there in
something that has n somewhat obscure ap
pearance , Councllmon have fought like wild
boasts to Imvo an opportunity of viewing the
furniture nnd fixtures exhibited by the two
foreign nouses , while none of them have
visited the Dewey & Stone establishment
where sample furniture has awaited ofllcial
inspection , or Coots' mill , where thn station
ary furniture will bo put up , providing the
Omaha houses secure the contract. Some of
the mom bars completely lose sight of the im
portance of patronizing homo industry and
laugh at the Idea that Omaha men can nandlo
an Omaha contract of this size.
To conclusively provo that those same gun-
tlomou are In urror , it Is scarcely necessary
to mention the fact that the Uciyoy & Stone
company has been an Omaha institution for
twonty-sevon years. It built the llrat four-
Htory and the Jlrst flvo-story building
in this city. This linn and its in
dividual members pay taxes on more
than 1,000,000 worth of property , every dollar
lar of which Is within the corporate limits of
Omaha. On Us pay roll it carries tlfty-four
men , all of whom patronize Omaha mer
chants , instead of going to Toledo ,
O , , or Chicago , III , for their up-
plies. All of the upholstering is done
in Omaha by Omaha tnon men who
patronize Omaha merchants and Omaha In
dustries. All of tha cheaper grades of furni
ture comes to Omaha in a knocked down
state and Is put together and llnUhed In the
croat warehouse that covers three acre * of
ground.
Uegsrdlng Mr , Coots' ubility to manufac
ture the stationary furniture , It Is
only fair to him to state that already ho
has taken care of some of the largest con
tracts awarded in the west , and 01 yet has
never fnlloti to comply with nny of the to'ms
of the contract * Into which ho entered.
I'Otwithstandlng this not a member of the
council has visited Mr. Coots' factory to
learn of his ability to manufacture $10,000 ,
worth , of city linll furniture.

Hugh Meftovorn , owning n number of

A report Is current that hleh grade silver

fuse to confirm or deny the rumor.
I'lnns for n now chlorlimtion plant to bo

Return ol' tlio Kimmean Committee

exposition , returned today on the steamer
Victoria , They are : Solicitor General II.
IJuttorworth , Promoter General Moses P.
Handy , F. W. Pock of Chicago , A. G. mil-
lock of Missouri , .ludgo W. Lindsay of
Chicago , nud , f.V. . Sprague , secretary to the
commissioners.
They were accompanied by Sir Henry
Wood and Mr. Jamoj Dredge , the .Uritlsli
royal commissioners to the fair , nnd Ilorr
Wcrmuth , the German commissioner.
The commission have visited England ,
France. Germany , Belgium , Switzerland ,
Holland , Sweden , Norway , Denmark , Aus
tralia , Hungary any Russia.
Because of the bad season of the year they
did not visit the southern countries. They
will recommonil that another commission bo
sent to these countries ana to the Orient. In
England their reception was of the most
cordial character. The lord mayor of Lon
don , Sir KIchurd Savory , and his probable
successor , Alderman Evans , were most cour.-
toous and expressed their intention of visit
ing the exposition.
The French oflleinls Intend to make their
exhibit of pictures nnd works of
art the finest over made by Franco
outside of Paris. Too reception in Iturlln
was equally as happy. Germany
expects to bo moro fully represented in Chicago
cage than in nny pastexpositiou. From Aus
tria and Hungary n large exhibit was assured
Fro.n Vienna alone It is expected that l.BOO
exhibits will bo sent.
The commissioners say that every coun try
In Europe , with the exception of "Italy and
some of the southern ones , will bo repre
sented. Already much rivalry as to the
merits of their exhibits exists among sonic of
Iho countries. They nro all anxious for u
large amount of space. They all want partic
ularly to know the extent oil the national
backing which the fair possesses.
Major Handy will spend Sunday in Phila
delphia , and o.iTncsdaywith | General Butter-
worth will mcot the British and foreign com
missions at Washington. There thcso gen
tlemen will call upon their ministers and will
be presented to the president.
On Wednesday they propose leaving for

ing Is the wo.uhcr crop bulletin issued today
by the Dop.irtmont of Agriculture :
Temperature The week has been cool gen
erally over the country east of tbo Uocky
mountains and ever the entire com and cot
ton regions , where warm weather was most
iloslrablo , iho average dally tempuraturo
being from four degrees to six degrees below
the normal. It was slightly warmer than
usual In Minnesota , the D.ikotns and thence
westward to the Pacillo coast , the greatest
excess In temperature occurring In southern
California , where the dally temperatiiro was
from six to ton degrees higher than usual.
Light fro.sts occurred during the week nt ex
treme northern stations and in western Ne
braska , but they did not occur within the
principal corn producing states , where the
warm , dry weather during the latter part of
the week must have been favorable to the
crop.
crop.Kainfali
Kainfali There has boon an excess of rain
fall during the wooic generally In Now Kit-
gland , the middle Atlantic states , over Lake
Hrle and in Florida. Slight excesses also oc
curred at northern Koclty mountain stations
and on the Pacitiu coast , the rainfall being
very light in tbo latter region.'ery llttlo
rain occurred during tno week In the Central
valleys , although limited ureas of excess nro
reported in Alabama , Indian Territory , Kan
sas and Minnesota. There was a total ab
sence of rain in Texas , Illinois and the
creator portion of the Upper Laico region.
Tbo rainfall was very heavy in Florida , over
four inches bdlnir reported at Tampa and
seven liu'has at Jacksonville.
Iowa Corn has made fair progress , about
one-third being ripe enough to cut nud shock ;
one-third will bu beyond danger of frost in
ton warm days ami the balance needs thrco
weeks. The potato harvest has begun , with
Indications of a heavy yield.
North and South Dakota The conditions
wore favorable for completing the harvest ,
stacking and threshing in North Dakota , and
for stacking , threshing , marketing and hay
ing in South D.ikota. Corn is maturing Ilnoly
in tlio extreme southern portion ; else where
It Is frosted , but fair. The ground Is dry in
both states.
Nebraska The week was cold and unfa
vorable for corn , which is ripening .slowly
and unevenly. The bulk of thu corn crop
will bo out of danger from frosts in a week in
southern Npbrasita , and in from leu days to
two weeks in northern Nobr.iska ,
Missouri Corn imturlng well ; early
planted is out of danger from frosts , but Into
corn needs ten daj'S of good weather. It is
too dry for full seeding.
Kansas All crops secure from frost except -
copt late corn in the northern counties , which
have been greatly improved by rains nnd will
bo snlo by the 2.11 h.
Colorado Corn Is being cut In .southeast
ern Colorado ; elsewhere it is late. The potato
tate crop will bo excellent ; all fruits are rip
ening well ; no frosts in agricultural districts
during the week.
Cuirn : , Neb. , Sept. 12. The weather of the
past week has been cool , with a small amount
of sunshine , and especially cool nights , which
bus been unfavorable to the ripening of corn.
Tl.o temperature has been about-degrees
below the normal ; the sunshine has also been
a little less than average. The rainfall h.is
been everywhere slight except in u limited
area from Kearney county southward to yio
state line , where from two to three Indies
fell. The corn has matured so slowly the
past week that rather moro time will bo re
quired to mature it than was estimated in
last week's bulletin. It Is ripenlntr very un
evenly ; in southern Nebraska many report
one-half of the crop now out of the way of
frost ; tlio bulk of the crop will require about
a week longer to mature and some will not bo
out of the way of frost till the 1st of Octo
ber , and in northern Nebraska ten days to
t'.vo weeks will bo required to place the hulk
of the crop beyond the rcacn of frost.
DBS MOINT.S , In. , Sept , 12. This week's
bulletin of the Iowa weather and rrop ser
vice says : About one-third of the corn Is
suttk-iontlv matured to out nnd shock and
substantially safe from serious harm from
frost. Kigtit to ten warm days will plaeo
two-thirds beyond danger , the remaining
third needB all of September and part of
October to pet through. The present out
look docs not warrant expectation of security
for moro than 70 per cent of the crop in a
sound condition. Potato harvest has begun ,
with a heavy yield. Plowing nnd seeding
for fall grain is in prom-ess.
