THIRD PARTY CONVENTION
What is Being Done by the Committee on
Entertainment.
PROGRESS OF THE GUARANTEE FUND
Arrangement * DIsruBHCd lit n Meeting of
the ruiiiiulttet-'H Yesterday A I.lttlc
Cloud Why the Hankers Ite-
lusiMt to .subscribe.
At ycsterdav's meeting of tbo committee
appointed to arrange for the meeting of the
people' * party hero next July , tbo question
of raiting the flO.OOO guarantee was thor
oughly dlfccussid. Reports showing what
had been done In that direction were made
nud arrangements for continuing tbo work
and carrying it to a successful consumma
tion completed.
In discussing the matter George A. Boggs
said that wbilo the city could not afford to
let the convention go to some other city , tbo
local members of the independent party
fchould not try to shoulder nil the work upon
the citizens. The independents should try
' * to do something themselves and the city
would assist them. The republicans of Min
neapolis had put up a largo amount tor their
convention and the democrats had done like
wise at Chlcaco. As far as Mr Bog s was
concerned , he said bo could scarcely treat
them , from a partisan standpoint , with re
spect. But the city bad solicited tbo con
vention and it would be a shame for Omaha
to permit it to go out to the world tbat the
city could not raise f 10,000 , while Minncapo-
lis'had raised $100,000 lor its convention.
Willing to ( In Their Share.
Attorney Joseph Eogerton and John Jeff-
claimed that It was unjutt to make u parti
coat of the people's party ivoro present. They
ion matter of securing money for the conven
tion. Representative citizens had gene to St.
Louis and lecured for Omaha tno conven
tion. In doing so-thoy agreed to entertain
the national executive committee and to fur
nish the people's pnrty with a
hull suitable for tbo assemblage
of delegates. The citizens know that to do
this would require the expenditure of tlO.OOO
or flD.OOO. anu thov bad agreed to raise tbo
money by subscription. Now it was not
right to suppose that the independents , who
do not number over 700 in the city , and who
are not in peed financial circumstances ,
nhould bo asked to put up tha money them-
telvos.
When the meeting convened John Wake-
field of the executive committee stated
that about thirty men were at work
preparing an annex to the west side of
the Coliseum building , Ho salit that
entrances on all aides of the building
would bo cut and all the arrangement ! would
be complete by Monday. Tbe annex to tbo
building will bo used for the press , tele
graph , committee and cloak rooms , The
seating capacity of the building will bo be
tween 7,000 and 6,000 people. The cDmmlt-
tco wilt require 7,000 chairs , which wilt bavo
lo be purchased Mr. Wakrfleld said ho had
estimated the nest of remodeling the build
Ing at (4,000
Thomas Kilpatrlck , chairman of the finance
rommtttor , reported that W'Jr > 0 of tbo (10.000
guarantee fund bad been pledged , Tbo
wholesale men bad subscribed $500 , tbe lum
bermen MOO , the botoU K M > . the street rail
ways fl.MH ) , Ho was very much disappointed
at tno outlook and said it was the most
thankless task that be bud over undertaken.
Tbo banfcsrbe said , had refused to subscribe
a cent , and the Real Estate Owners associa
tion , which had made cheering promises ,
had not come up with a dollar. He had not
ever heard from the association , but was of
the oplpion tbat its members , who wore , as
a general thing , retired business men of
wealth , should liberally subscribe to the
project.
To this Mr , Bopps made an explanation oa
behalf of his asiocmtlon. He said that , on
tbe contrary , the mem bo re of tbe Real Estate
Owner * association wore not men of wealth ,
but simply men of moderate moan ? . How
ever , there was a committee of the associa
tion working on subscriptions.
Why the Hanks Will Not Subscribe.
Regarding the utter Indifference ot the
bankers , who refused to subscribe to the
fund , W. H. Alexander of the finance com
mittee , said that the reason they
would not assist the convention
n bankers xvas that the party
had in its platform a plank against the na
tional banks. Individually be thought tbo
bankers would subscribe to the fund as citi
zens to help this thing alone. Mr. Alexander
said that the city had solicited tbe conven
tion. She bad it , and should make
the best of it. Omaha's interests were
at stake. She couldn't afford to let
the case go by default. Some
thing bad to DO done. The or iinizstions.
such as the Bourd of Trade , the Heal Estate
association and the like should do Eomottilnp
end not depend entirely upon tha citizens.
When men did not contribute to such fund1 *
thev were not patriotic. As it is now there
is not a sufficient amount of money sub
scribed to pav for the building.
William I. Kloistead was of thooplnion that
f 10,000 was insufficient to cover the expenses
incident to the convention. He said that the
people of the city did not appreciate its im
portance. He thought it would be as bene
ficial to the city as either the republican or
democratic national convention. All that
was necessary was for the committee to go
to work nssiduouslv und they could easily
raise the money. Mr. Kiorsteod volunteered
to see the furniture men , nnd ho tbougbt he
would have fTiOU subscribed oy thorn within
two days' timo.
Can Kulne the Money Xecessary.
John A. Wakctteld was one of the most en
thusiastic members of tbo finance committee.
"Wo can get tbe money If wo go about it in
the right manner , " said he. "Letter writing
und correspondence will not get subscrip
tions. H can only bo cotton by bustling. "
Messrs. Kilpatrlrit. Alexander und Swooo
were then appointed to se < ! the bankers as
individuals and not in their business capacity.
Dick Smith , who visited the breweries , tbe
liquor bouses and such places , reported that
that tbo brewers would not give over f 100
each. As yet he has not bad time to get
around to the liquor dealers.
John Joffcoat stated that the national
executive committee , which includes
Donnelly. Davis , Weaver Old Toub-
cneck , would be here May 11 and hold a
business meeting. It was then decided to
sub-dlvido tbo working committees and bavo
them report Mondav afternoon at 5 o'clocit.
By Wednesday , If the money is not pledged ,
Mr. Swobo thought it could not be raised at
ull , and the general committee might as well
abandon the idea of holding the convention
here.
The committee to solicit from tbo retail
tratio is compoi > ed of D. J. O'Donahoe ,
Oorgo Munro. William Gentleman , It. S ,
Wilcox , C. S. Raymond and John Baumcr.
On motion of Mr. Alexander n committee
to solicit from tbo people's party was ap
pointed. It is composed of J. JtfTcoat , A len
Root and Paul Vandervoort.
A comiuittcn ot nlno to receive tbo na
tional executive committee was aUo ap
pointed a follows : J , Jeffcoat , J. M. Tav-
lor. Paul Vacdervoort , John S. Waliefleld ,
E. P. Davis , Rlcb&rd Smith , Allen Root , H ,

KICKING WITHOUT CAUSE.
School 11 nar it Member * IlaUe Groundlesi
Ohjeetloni to Their New Quartern.
Some of the members ot tbo Board of Ed
ucation object to taning the quarters at-
signed to tbe board on the fifth floor of tbe
new city hall. They claim that the space is
uot according to the original agreement ; that
the rooms are not properly lighted , and that
the council has no right to require the board
to pay for light , beat end janitor aervice.
These protestants declare that it the council
does tiot recede from its position the board
will raauo a formal demand for a refund of
the { 20.-I90 paid by the board to tbe city hall
fund , and then look elsewhere for quarters.
Aichitect Bemdorff laughed when told
that one of the objection * made by the Board
of Education against occupying ibo new
quarters in the city holl'wnsthat artificial
light would bo needed in the offices.
"It's very evident , " said Mr. Belndorff ,
"that the school directors have not visited
the now moms in the city hall. There are

rooms assigned the Board of Education ,
those on tbe east being so near tne height of
TIIC BEE building that there is nc > obstruc
tion to the light. So far as the otllces go
thev are well lighted , nl'j" and sufficiently
lareo for all practical purposes. The assem
"
bly" room is 44x52 ; tUo presldant's room ,
l x2 : the clerk's room , ai.fixlb ; the superin
tendent's room , 17x21 ; the supply room ,
10x15 ; the teachers' association room ,
13."ix4l ! ; the vault , 5.5x12. Bythe addition
of 13.5x5' ! feet taken off the book room of the
public llbrarv , the Board of Education would
hav one-ball the entire fifth floor. The
library people. I untlerstaud , are very well
satisfied with tnclr quarters and propose to
move In at onco.
"The place for the Board of Education is
in the city hull , in the quarters provided for
them anil it seems somewhat cblldlsh
to raise the objections. I have heard
from time to time agairst occupvinp the
rooms. In my opinion they have been
treated very liberally and ought to recognize
tbo justness of the position taken by the city
council. "
The statement made by Secretary Conoycr
that the plant , of the present quarters were
never approved oy the Hoard of Education is
somewhat misleading By reference to Book
A ID tbo city clerK's office , of tbo series of
issy , it will bo ascertained that President
Goodman reported having seen the plans ol
the quarters intended for the use of the
hcbool board and had approved them with
several minor corrections which were made.
Contractor John F. Coots , when osKed
about the floor space devoted to ttio Board of
Education , said that the plans gave that
body 4,71)0 ) feet , which ho thought was amply
sufficient for the wants of the board for vears
to come. "As 1 understand it , " said Mr.
Coo's , "tho Board of Education was to have
ono-eiehth of the floor space of a building
to cost SiOO.OW by payintr $35,003. Now the
floor space in the city hall is 57,5-1'J feet ,
which gives the Board of Education one-
twelfth of the whole space of a bulldlnc
which when completed will cost $450,000.
Surelv there ought to bo no objection to that
arrangement , for if anything the board has
the best of It. "

Itrv , Moore1 * Cliurrh.
Rev. Moore , pastor of tbo African Method
ist Episcopal church at Eighteenth and Web
ster streets , Is baring trouble with some of
the colored people who gather at his church
to hear and listen to the spreading of the
gospel.
1 lie devout members of the flock are all
right , but some of the younger and more en
thusiastic ones are all wrong. They attend
the nightly meetings for tbo purpose of de
feating the objects that the good man Is tryIng -
Ing to accomplish. In other words , Itov.
Moore thinks that these young people are
emissaries of the old gentleman who boasts
of having a cloven foot. To bring them under
proper subjection tbo clergyman has asked
for tbu appointment of two special officers to
keep matters straight. Thn request will be
granted , providing the officers are paid br
the church instead of by the city.

The payment of C. ESquires' old ? S,000
sweeping bill still continues to agitate the
metnbnrs who voted Jor't'nc passage of the
appropriation ordinance , but most of tbs
members got under cover by claiming
that they did n'6t know that
Comptroller Ols > en had inserted it in the ap
propriation sheet. ;
Mayor Bemis could not understand just
how the mil iot into the ordinance. It was
either one of two things , he said. Squires
worked the comptroller or ol o the official
neglected his duty , In either event
it was a . case tot gross careless
ness. Councilman Edwards was surprised
tbut such things bad never occurred before.
There was every opportunity for evil dis
posed persons to beat the city. Ihe appro-
priution ordinance as u rule was introduced
and railroaded through. It was never read
nt length , and the members , of their own
Knowledge , never know what it contained.
Tbo way that it was disposed of was this.
The first and scconjl readings were
by title. Then some member would
move to suspend the rules. This
motion would prevail and again the ordi
nance would be read by title and passed.
Air. Edwards now hat a scheme and bo
will at once Introduce an ordinance , which if
passed , he clulms will prevent a recur
rence of anything like what bappaned in the
pavmcnt of the Squires claim ,
Hu will have bin ordinance pro
vide tbut copies sbull bo made
of every ordinance Introduced and referred.
Tbcso copies will bo furnished to the mayor ,
the city attorney and reach member of the
council.

Tbero were hen tracks upnn the map com

' Whenever you have a high barometric
pressure , " sold Mr. Bassler , "and the wind
is Dalmv liku today in the northwest , then
you are safe in asking a man to do a favor
But when clouds are scudding to the west

From indications a period of fair weather

The cato of Mrs. Sa'n llugcrmau who died
while under tbo cure of Mrs. Bray , an al
leged fulth euro doctor , has been called to the
attention of County Attorney Mubouoy who
will Investigate.
Mr. Hugcnnan says that his wife was
completely under tue control of thu operators
aud lliat mi important feature In the treat
ment was tbo alienation of his wife's affec
ticms. During the two weeks she was with
Mrs. Bray ho says bo could see that bho

reason which bo could assign , except tbo
lulluonco of the people about her. He IB cou-
viucud tlmtf.hu died fueling that wav , and
for the last week of her lifu fcho disliked to
