POLITICS AND UKLIGION. Methodists Working for Positions of Influence and Prominence. It may not bo a mixture of politics with re ligion , but it is nevertheless true that there is a good deal of caucusslng and rclitrious wire pulling being done Just now preparatory to the election of delegates to the Methodist tronoral conference , which becomes a part of the business of the North Nebraska annual conference that meets hero next week. This conference will bo entitled to two ministerial and two lay delegate * . Iho posi tion is naturally ono to bo sought after by both the ministers nr.d laymen of the con ference. There are half a dozen prominent ministers making an effort to secure the cov eted place and an equal number xvorking for the election us lay delegates. There has been some very energetic canvassing and the mails have boon laden with letters ask ing for support and in behalf of friends. At a sub rosn caucus of prominent laymen hold last Friday evening Mr. A. T. Hector of the First Methodist churoh was selected as the man to bo supported by the laymen of Omaha for ono of the lay delegates to the general conforouce. It is thought that Mr. ' 1. K. Anderson of Nollgh , will bo elected as n lay delegate. Other gentlemen mentioned ore John Dale and W. K. Kurtz of Omaha. Dr. Maxfield will undoubtedly bo elected as ono of the ministerial delegates and there will bo on interesting race for the other position between Elder Clondennlng , Elder Marquette of Elkhorn , ana Rev. J. W. Shank , editor of the Advocato. The fact that Elder Cleudennlng has boou appointed as a delegate to the ecumenical conference which meets at Washington October next will undoubtedly be used as an argument against his election as a delegate to the general conference. Not that his work in connection with the ecumen ical conference will interfere with the other in the least , but there may bo a desire to see the honors distributed more evenly by send ing some ono else to the general conforonco. The next few days will bo busy ones with these who have tno conference bees in their bonnets. The election of the mlnistorlo1 delegates will probablv take place on Thursday and that of the lay delegates on Friday. THE BKE will print all the news.

It was Impossible to toll at tbo first examin ation whether Kra ger had boon Injured in- ternnlly or not. Ho was removed to his homo at 1027 Nicholas street , and at 8 p. m. was resting easily.

WILL GIVE MR , COOTS A SHOW , Councilmim Decide Not To Discriminate Between Oitj Ilnll Furniture Bidders. * VMPMMM WILL AWARD THE CONTRACT TODAY. City Attorney I'oppletoii Quoted nf Opposed to AfnkliiK n Contract itliaut Money in the City Hull Kund. When the members of the city council completed the rounds last nlpht nnd stopped looking atsamplo furniture , It was supposed that today the public would know the imnio of the lucky bidder , but it does not. In fact the public Is as much In the dark as It was on the day when the bids wore opened. This morning thirteen of the members mot In committee of the whole In the clerk's oDlca and adjourned to the council chamber. The ronort of the committee on Public Property and Buildings was called for. Mr. OsthofT , the chairman , said there was no re port to make. Mr. Specht opened the case and said that outside bidders had boon allowed to make reductions from their original bids. Ho thought Mr. Coots should have been allowed the sumo privileges. In the other bids agents had been allowed to strike oil a Rood many articles. Mr. ChatTco stated that when Coots'bid wont Into tna hands of the committee It was the lowest , but wticn reported back it was the highest. It looked like a doslro to frcezo out an Omaha man. Mr. Osthoff Insisted that Mr. Chaffoo did not know what ho was talking about. Mr. Morearty did not want the public to say that the council had reduced ono bid and not another. Mr. Spncht explained that the houses had bid on furniture for ton otllcos that were not In existence. The furnishing of thejo oDIcos had been stricken from tbo bids of tno out- sldo men , but in Coots' case It had boon allowed to stand. Mr. Conway wanted to know If It was the Intention to furnish some of the oBlcos with the old furniture , and Mr. Spocht replied that was. Air. Lowry opined that it would bo folly to throw away $70 dodks and $ 13 chairs sim ply because they had been used. By putting some of the furniture now In use Into the minor ofllcos , the city could save SoO.OOO. Mr. Lowroy did not favor snubbing the commit tee , as the members had performed their duty , notwithstanding reports to the contra ry. Ho thought Dr. Miller and Herman ICountzo should bo Invited to moot with the committee and look at the furniture. If that plan was carried out , no newspaper could cast any slur at any of the acts of the com mittee. If Mr. Coots had bcon neglected It was his own fault , as ho had not boon pres ent to explain his bid. Mr. Chaffoo did not want to say anything personal about any member of the committee but matters had shaped thomsolvoo as ho thought they would. The committee nad no authority to cut any ot the bids. Bidders had bcon asked to furnish plans and spoclll- cations and the council had not right to change them. The council had advbrtiaed for bids where there was no money available to make payments and ho questioned the right to enter Into n contract. If the prices of the Omuha concern was anything like equal , the contract , if ono was made , sbould bo made with an Omaha house. Mr. Morearty inslstctl that the councilmen should look at matters from a business stand point. Ho did not euro what the newspapers said. If the bid of the Omaha house was the lowest , It should bo accepted , hut ho did not propose to build a wall around the city for the purpose of icoopine out competition. Mr. Ostboft said the tafk made him tired , lie asked that his committee be relieved and moved that the whole matter bo turned over to a special com'mittoo. Chairman Bechel ruled the motion out of order. Mr. Spocnt asked that , Mr. Coots bo al lowed to make the deductions from his bid. Mr. Conway objected. Ho did not propose to lot , Mr. Coots come In at the eleventh hour and got the best of the outsiders. It was not fair to the mon who had spent their time nnd money in Omaha during the last ttirco months. Mr. Spocbt Insisted that no person had requested " quested "tho gentlemen to tarry in Omaha. The committee had their bids , plans and specifications. Mr. Moroarty asked if It had ; not been necessary to call them before the committee to explain their bids. Mri Spocht replied that that had been done weeks ago. Mr. Coots was allowed the floor and said that ho had bid on each article for the ofllcos and had given his price in c. lump and was ready to tlx a prlco on each article desired. If his bid was not tbo lowest he did not want the contract. Ho did not think it wits right that when his bid went in it was the lowest , and then when the report came out that it should bo the highest , simply because other bidders had boon allowed to scnlo down their bids and ho hud not boon given the same chance. Upon motion Mr. Coots was Instructed to go over his bid wltn the clerk and cut out the furniture for the rooms that the other competitors had not bid upon. This will be done today nnd tomorrow the committee will meet to maico the award. City Attorney Popploton Is quoted as hav ing told a councilman that it was very bad policy to raalio n contract for lurnituro without any money in the treasury , and that the council had bettor let the whole business go over until after bonds are voted to pay for the furnishing of the building. tt.i/7jrir nun's. Chairman Walker Defines the 1'onitioii of tlio Southwestern. CHICAGO , 111. , Sept. 15. A. morning paper makes the statement that the Southwestern Hallway ana Steamship association has with drawn from the Western Traftlo association. As a matter of fact that association as a whole was really never a party , to the presi dents' agreement , although a majority of its members were and arc. The blunder arose from a misconstruction o ! a reso lution adopted by the Southwestern Hallway and Stoamstilpassoelatiouuta mooting In this city ns long ago ns July 1. The resolution de clared in tubstanco that : "This association Is an independent organization as a whole and owes alloglanco to no other association and the chairman in acting by Instruction or otherwise with any otnor association does seas as an individual unless by special authority of the association or the exocutlvo com mittee.11 Chairman A. F. Walker of the Western Trafllo association speaking of the above resolution this afternoon , said , "It simply defines the post- tioc of the Southwestern as an organization , I understand that a proposition originated with a Hue not a member of tlio Western Trafllo association , whoso officials desired to inuku it clear that tbo associa tion as a body was not in tbo latter association and it was shaped in Its present form In order not to inlorforo with the obli gations of Individual Hues In their member ship In the Wnstorn Traffic association or withlu the action of Chairman FaitUorn on the board ot commissioners , which has con tinued as previously.

The prevalence of tha farce comedy Is becoming - coming a little appalling , yet all the same It Is a concession to the publlo demand. Miss Pattl Hosa , with a dcslro to bo soon In some thing else than "Imp" nnd "Margery Daw , " nlays that have been in her repertoire for several years , launched a now comedy last evening , together with her company of play ers nt Boyd's now tho.Uer/- The play boars tno very homely tltlo of "Dolly Vnrden , " the name of the 'nrlncipnl character In the farce , which of course Is played by Miss Hosa. The play Is founded on a comedy groundwork as familiar as tlio alphabet to thcntor goers. It Is very remin iscent of half a dozen farces , there being llttlo that U now In tbo vehicle for the Introduction of songs , dances nnd funny business generally. Tboro Is ono lovnblo , middle aged vicar , who falls u victim to the wiles of a fascinating American widow. Thcro Is a harmless lunatic with a penchant for reading ttie newspapers nnd getting mixed up everlastingly witb the paid advertise ments. There Is his wife , a soured female who , in an unguarded moment , steals some valuable Jewels nnd fastens the guilt upon the vicar's ward. Dolly , because she prom ises to become the heiress to the vicar's ' prou- orty nnd not her son , Louis , aishohad fondly hoped. Then there Is another son of the woman , a manly , warm-hearted iollow , a lieutenant in her majesty's navy and desperately in love with Dollv. A ubiquitous German stable boy who consorts xvlth everybody In tbo play , an Impossible Italian money lender nnd ono or two othrr characters to round out the semblance to a Plot , completes the cast. Taken In Its entirety the production was meritorious , although there are _ several glar ing errors to be remedied. The termination of the lirst act is very commonplace mid ona or two of the characters will need strength ening before "Dolly Varden" Is voted a great success. Yet there is so much that is Rooa about the plav that the management will undoubtedly keep pegging away until the play is considered Miss Kosa's strongest effort. The llttlo woman who essavs the leading role showed delightful versatility , her songs and dances and her tender bits of pathos thoroughly delighting her nudionco. Her assumption of a Gorman emigrant in act third with Mr. Cawthorn'wns 0110 of the best character bits of the performance. Mr. William Griffith needed llttlo makeup to look the part of the vicar to the life. It is Is such'a strong , earnest portraiture that his best efforts as an actor went out In its deline ation , and ho made the artistic hit of tno evening. Mr. Will Mandevlllo as Jack Dodd of the navy , while looking the part perfectly , Old llttlo to emphasize his claims as a comedian. He never allowed ono toforget that ho was acting. Mr. Joe Cawthorn ns Hans Blbblo , looking like a second edition of VFntz" Emmett In his palmy days , played the part very accept ably indeed. His dialect was good , his bumor unctuous. Gerald Griflln as Theodore Dodd , a news paper llend , played intelligently , although there is so little in the character to need playing at all. Marcus Moriarty as the Italian money louder , has given llttlo study to the part sought to bo impersonated , seemingly. He was weak In his strong scenes and commonplace - place in all the others. The ladloi were acceptable , Miss Carrie Francis , a very pretty girl , playing the dash ing widow and Doily's chapcrono in a man ner that left llttlo to bo desired. For Schlitz beer apply to R. R.

Secretary Ncttloton replied that there was a argo supply of small bills on hand and the .roasury would honor nn order for any amount. inn scnn.ME OF BOOKMAKCUS. For the first time in Its history Chicago Ls to have winter racing. The racing itself will not bo equal to the suburban handicap or futurity , but it will servo tbo purpose of the bookmakers equally as well. Al Cridgc nnd Bob Lovatt , two of the wealthiest book- maters in the country , are behind the schema and Joe Welman Is interested in it. The fact has leaked out that a powerful synaicato is at work and that it intends to evade the Illinois law against pool-selling. Ono man will make books on the races actually being run there , but his business will bo exceed ingly light. 'Jho bulk of the transactions will bo upon eastern and southern races. Wires will bo laid to every track in the country and tbo Interior of tbe building will rcsomblo the most approved pool room of by-gone days. Each horse on the track will bo given the same name ns the horse running at Guttonborg , New Orleans or some other place. Bets will nominally bo laid on the "skates , " but in reality they will bo upon the horses on the other tracks. "There's millions In it , " snld a well known aorseman when told of the plan. "Thoso people will have a complete mon opoly ot bookuiaklng in Chicago nnd you know what that means. " HALT IN TUB VEHA A.VA CASE. In the struggle to identify Miss Vera Ava , Who refuses to shod any light on her post , n prominent detective has evolved the theory that she is the "Big Casino , " an all around confidence woman with a religio-phllunthro- ple hobby. "Big Casino's" right name is Annie Walllngford. nnd she has been con nected with n number of swindling schemes In which blackmail has plavcd a prominent part. Ho believes that Miss Ava has at tempted to blackmail the Jesuit priest. Ho is not engaged on the case and the theory Is advanced for the bonttt of the nubile , which was not satisfied with the Dis Debar claim. N o attempt has boon imido by the police to clear the mystery surrounding the disappear ance , and Vcra A va's charges of assault nnd robbery in the Jesuit church will go unlnves- tlgatodso long us Vera Ava's identity is not , established. If she can identify herself nnd prove that she is reliable , nn Investigation will bo begun nt onco. Until then tno police hnvo nothing on which to base n search for facts. onns AMI ENDS. Juke Schafor has posted $250 to piny n mutch with Goorco Hossor thirty dnys or more hence in Now York. Captain W. L. Marshall has returned frcm the meeting of the board of United States engineers on Wounohlr canal at Hock Island. Captain Marshall could , of course , not dl- vulgo what , the board had decided upon , but from the cir cumstances that ha was selected to draw up tbe report It Is qulto likely that this so- called route for the canal at Hock Island , ns originally selected byhlmhas boon sustained by tbo board. That grain rates will bo forced up of their own accord before long Is evident. Grain Is accumulating In Chicago elevators , notwith standing the heavy nun omont last week , and shippers want far more boats than are to bo had. Hates ore stiff at 3J4 cents for wheat and ! ) cents for corn. Mnyor Wnshburno's ordinance permitting nll-nlght restaurants to sell lliiuor In spite of tbo midnight closing law was defeated in tbo council last night by a tie vote.
