nldrrcd.
The corporation combine is still hustling
for n candidate for the supreme conch In this
county In pursuance of the preconcerted
plan for downing Maxwell , but Its efforts
thus Jar have not boon attended with the
tnost nattering success. Tlio Douglas county
lawyer who looked after the Interests ot the
state house Impoachablcj during their re
cent bereavement walled on JudgoiWalton ,
of the district bench , a few days ago , and
endeavored to prevail upon him lo become n
candidate , bul the reception ho received
when his mission was made known was n
( rigid ono.
The Judeo frankly stated that ho had no
dcslro lo enter ihe flold and would not do so.
Ho said Unit ho did not think that
ho wns qualified for Iho place , In
which rcspccl ho differed widely from a
number of members of the legal fraternity
who were presumptuous enough to bellovo
that they were flllcd for a place on Iho
Unllcd Slates supreme bench. Ho Inslslod
that ho was very well satisfied with Ihlngs
ns they wore , and said Ihnl Iho cup of his
ambition hud already been moro than flllcd.
Ho said that ho cntcrlMncd Iho highest re
spect for Judge Mnxwell , both ns n citizen
nnd n Judire. and hoped that the party would
not bo so blind to Its own interests nnd those
of the state as to countenance the deter
mined effort that was being made by the
railroads to bring about his retirement from
the bench.
Other I.iiwyors Kr l t tlio Siren.
The snmo result has attended the efforts
of the railroads in several of the other
counties of the state , this being duo either
to Ihe feelings of Iho lawyers who were ho-
Boughl lo run or to conditions which mndo
their candidacy Impracticable. Judge
Chapman of Plaltsmouth positively refused
to run , und the move lo nmko n candidate of
Judge M. L. Haywunl of KeOrusku Cily is
now but little more than u memory , ns iho
"bank interests of Ihnl gentleman and his
olher private mailers render his candidacy
pruotlcally'out of the question. So it Is
that iho pins sol up by Iho corpora lions are
dropping one by oni ; . until H is quito ceriain
Ihnl If the convention wcro to bo hold to
morrow and the railroads were to dominate
U. Ihcir choice would full upon E. C. Calkins
of Kearney.
The effort to got an Omaha lawyer on the
truck bus not been abandoned , however , and
no pains will bo spared to find such a one
within the next two weeks , in which case a
vigorous effort will bo made to instruct the
Douglas county delegation for him Septem

It Is u fuel recognized by everybody thai
in case Maxwell Is nominated he will get the
Totes of ri great many democrats In this

running against him , nnd ns Ihocorpora-

nil uosstblo contingencies of this kind , they

nomination of Jtidgy Frank Irvine of Iho

The Jacksonlan club mot last evening to
listen to the report of the committee that
was appointed at the last meeting to confer
with a like committee from the Samosots
relative to the advisability of fusion with
the independents in supporting Judge Hol-
comb , the populist nominee for the supreme
bcnch. The report was against fusion , the
only member who was red-hot in favor of
this political mesalliance being P. W. Birk-
hauscr , who Is trying to curry favor with the
populists , and who hopes to prevail upon
them through the medium of his former
partner , "F , L. IJltimor , to support him for
the offlco of city comtroller. | )
The report was a verbal ono. each mem
ber of the committee voicing his views , and
this was followed by a short discussion ,
which resulted in the unanimous adoption of
the report of the committee and the subse
quent discharge of its members , which
practically settles the fusion question so far
as the Jacksonlan club is concerned. The
matter would never have been brought up
but for some letters which wore received
from members out in the country asking
what was the sentiment "of the
club on this point. The club
was overwhelmingly opposed to the sug
gestion , and even the few members who fa
vored it saw that they wore , hopelessly in
the minority and voted with the crowd
against it.
A resolution was adopted setting forth the
fact that the democracy of Douglas county
had boon without a party organ or u news
paper that Jltly represented democratic
ideas , and declaring that inasmuch as the
now Woolcly Journal was now the nearest
approach to It and promised to fill a long-felt
want and several other apertures , it was
thereby endorsed as the ofllcinl organ of
local democracy.
The club will moot again next Saturday
evening at the usual place.

nlon Held I'rlday Mslit.
The people's party central committee at
lt last Friday night's meeting had a merry
old time , and harmony wns relegated to the
background. The trouble was precipitated
by a self-constituted committee of four
prominent members of that party. Thc o
shining stars in tbo populist firmament mot
n committee from the democrats the evening -
ing before nt Seventeenth and Fnrnam
streets to discuss the advisability of fusing
on the county ticket.
DTI 10 four populists aforesaid loft that
mooting In n rufiled frame of mind on ac
count of the alleged sclllshnoss of the demo
crats. It Is said that nil the democrats
wanted to concede was ono of the three
principal elective odlces and that ono 'plum
wa the nomination for county treasurer.
The prox | > sltioii was indignantly refused.
The democrats wanted tohoy It all , " to
Use thu expression of disgust used hv ono of
the populist committee alter the conference.
Another thlnir which rufllcil thu temper of
some of the people's party members at the
Friday meeting pow wow was the sus
picion seine of them shared that the e.irly
date for the county convention , September
12:1 : , was made sjlely for the reason that It
would prevent endorsement of such candi
dates of the two old parties as might servo
the best Interests of the people's party.
All the commlttcctncn wore present when
1-iouis J. Him called tbo meeting to order.
M , Nelson was secretary. After the minutes
of the previous mooting had boon read H ,
Cohen precipitated the discussion by spring
ing n motion to reconsider that portion which
fixed the date of tliu city convention as Sup-
tember S3. Uoth the chairman and thn
secretary were in favor of an early conven
tion as decided upon and expressed them
selves to that effect.
A Fifth warder also coincided in this
opinion. In defending the proposed early
convention ho made the statement that evi
dently somebody wanted to "feather his
nest by getting a chance to endorse nome of
lliu candidates of the old parties. " lie said
further that that was the reason why they
wcro anxious to have the convention post-
oned.
Mr. Everlngham pleaded for a late con-
ention and was supported In this by Mr. V.
O. Stricklcr , who said Unit from experience
amud In the two other parties a late con
dition and n short campaign was Just what
ho people's party wanted.
Ike Ilascall then arose and made u plea
or harmony. Ho opined , however , tlr.it
heir convention should bo ho'd first , thereby
nuking endorsements of old party candl-
atcs impossible.
This brought C. Stastnoy , who bollovod
n short campaigns and Into conventions , to
Us feot. llo thought that the principles of
lie people's party should not bo looked after
vith a mlcroscoposwh.cn Itcanio to electing
i man to a municipal ofllno. The fact that
' hey wcro old party men should not debar
hem from endorsement by this
> arty if , when elected to ofllce.
hey should provide work for unemployed
) opulists. This , ho said , was what was
needed more than anything also at present.
That sort of talk aroused n slumbering
ian therm the breast , of Mr. Logan , whout-
omptcd to annihilate such a theory. Only
simon pure populists were to bo named.
This caught Mr. Taylor and ho expressed
limsolf to that effect.
The chairman called for a vote on the mo-
, ion about this time. Mr. Cohen's resolution
to postpone tlio city convention was ilnally
endorsed. Then it was agreed for the cen
tral committee to moot next Friday night
ind fix the date.

BAKEFACED FRAUDS.
Opinion of nn Knntnrn Authority nn Bond
Investment Hchumos.
The attention of the readers of this paper ,
says the United States Investor , was called
last week to the fact thai tlio Nebraska
Stale Board Of Banking had decided that
the so-called "Invcslmenl bond companies"
were Illegal nnd had requested the county
attorneys throughout the state lo lake
action against thoiii. These companies are
treated of at length In tlio present issue of
the Investor by ono of our wcstctu corre
spondents. In this issue is also presented
the report of the special master , nppointotl
by iho Massachusetts supreme , court lo ex-
nmino Iho situation of Iho various endow
ment orders in thut stale. A more bare
faced attempt nt swindling wns never wit
nessed than that now being made by the
"bond investment " '
companies. 'ino cast
has- had Its experience with concerns of
this sort. In that section they bore the
litlc of "endowment orders. " If they ac
complished no other cud , they demonstrated
beyond a shadow of doubl that gullibility Is
a marked trail of the human race. The
a vcfiigo of intelligence is suppose J to bo us
high In Massachusetts as in any community
on the face of the earth , but for all thai , the
endowment craze took complete possession
of thai commonwealth , So widespread wus
the desire on iho purl of iho people of thai
state lo make something out of nothing thai
the ofTecl upon Iho savings banks
Ihrough Iho falling off In deposits
was a mailer thai excited
not n Htllo concent. The bond
dealers , In particular , could tell an interest
ing tnlo regarding the inlhience of the en
dowment companies. Thesavings banksnre
the lurgesl buyers ot high grade bonds , and
Ihd nurluilmi'tit of their purchases during
iho endowment order period reduced the
bond market to n condition of stagnation.
If such a stale of affairs wus possible in
Massachusetts , there Is no reason to suppose
that the swindle wilt not bo as operative In
other sections , other thlncs being equal.
Ono fuel that may make U dillicult to .du
plicate the experience of Massachusetts in
the west is thul Iho wcsl Is fooling poor
now. Still. It is probably not so poor as to
bo unable to Und u good deal of money in
small amounts for schemes that promise
handsome returns , nud that is just what the
bond investment companies do. The bare-
fncednessof the moveinuiit ought to bo ap
parent to the feeblest intellect , bul Iho ex-
iKjrience of Iho east is an indication thai , so
far as enterprises of this sort are concerned ,
the tivorusTO " person Is troubled with blind
ness. Our correspondent points out that
insurance companies ijgrco to pay benefits
only in case of injury'or death ; lhat ihe
Ixnisinnn lottery undertakes to pay only the
drawer of iho lucky number. But iho in-
voslment bond campajites "guarantee" lei
i > ay iho full fneo of ov < jrybond , if payments
are kept up. As the companies derive rev
enue from no other source than their mem
bers it.i.i , o'f , course , absurd to discuss thorn
seriously : tnr. < u ilf '

ure of llio' laws 'bf many o'f Iho wcslo'rn
stales is'thut 'they provide no safeguards
against such schemes as Iheso. Iowa" , 'for
instance , 13 a happy hunling ground for ad
venturers of tliis sort.A ) ( great number ol
swindling concerns are incorporated under
llio laws of thissUito , the oblcct of Iho incorporators -
corporators being lo croalo the impression
that they have Iho indorsement of tlio state
of Iowa , whereas the stale authorities would
gladly exclude them , neck and heels , fron

II is safe to predict that the companiesforo
seeing their fate , will make buy whllo tin

la Coimiium tfd.
Not within the history of the councl
chamber has there been such n gathering of
representative cltltons of Omaha ns thcro
was last nitrht. Standing room was at n
romtutn. Uu.iincss men and taxpayers con
stituted the greater portion of the assem
blage.
The attraction ivas the Platte rlvor canal
scheme. It was known thai the apodal
commlttco would rcx | > rl upon the proposi
tion of the city taking hold of the matter
nnd vote bonds to construct and maintain
.ho canal , converting It Into a municipal en
terprise. It was also antlcluatcd that the
Cession would bo devoted to a thorough dis
cussion of the subject. Thuso who attended
were not disappointed. They heard a dis
cussion of the subject for three hours. ,
Mr. Saundors. the chairman of the special
committee , submitted the report. The com
mittee had Investigated themnttci nnd after
consultation with competent engineers con
cluded thnt the schema wus a feasible ono.
rtiocomp.iny agreed to turn over the plat
nid plans o ( surveys j the approximate cost
Ijolng placed at $2OOD,000. The recommenda
tions of the committee were that the
canal 0,0 utilized for water works , water
tower to establish electric light plants , and
other purposes requiring water power ; the
city to own and onuralu the canal ; the canal
company to turn ever the mups , prolllos and
surveys inudo ; the city to vote the bonds
necessary to construct the canal ; the county
of Douirlns to vote bonds to nia the cntci-
prise-nnd that live or more of the most re
sponsible citizens of Omaha be constituted a
commission to direct the construction 01 the
enterprise.
' Chiinco for tlio Unriiiployml.
In support of the recommendations of Iho
committee , Mr. Saundcrs explained Iho ro-
suits of the investigations , ns printed In
Tin : HIK : of yesterday. Ho said that the
[ Ucstlou.of feasibility must ho determined
liy the eiisrlnecrs , many omlnent ones having
ueon cousttltod , umong whom was Cily Kn-
ginccr Itosewalor. All were of Iho opinion
that the scheme wus u good nnd prac
tical ono. He said that If bonds
wcro voted , l.HX ( ) men could bo
l > ut to work immediately lifter election
unit the cunul pushed to rapid completion ,
lie was satisfied that if the canal was con
structed that it would furnish power to
operate ult'manufacturing industries and
motor cars in this city and South Omaha ;
provide wato.v for fire nnd domestic use and
enable Iho cily to also operate Its own
electric lgit ! | plant.
Mr. Kdlvards , another member of Iho
committee , said thai Iho project met his
hourly approval , una was the grandest
scheme ever proposed in the interests of the
city ,
Mr. Hascu'l repented the story of how Iho
subject hud first been broached und the offer
of Iho company lo step usido and permit tht
city to take hold of the enterprise. While
he thought n proposition for the city to own
its waler works and oleclric light plants
would carry , ho did not believe thai the
people would vote to uurchaso these already
in existence. In view of Inflated values. Ho
supported the proposition in n lengthy
"speech , " and gave In detail the schemes of
construction.
Ho eon tended that thn construction of trie
canal would do uway with SSJ.OOD hydrant
rental per year , enable the city to pipe
every street , nnd also provide a pressure
sulllciont , in cuso of lire , to throw u stroum
over n sixlceu-story building. Thus u big
saying in .insurance premiums would bo
bcoUL'ht about.
Chlof Kiiglnccr lliixvell'n Talk.
Mr. flowell. the chief engineer of the com
pany , was called out , and 10 answer lo ques
tions explained thai the' watershed of Iho
Platte embraces 110,0X ! > square miles , and
that in making Its estimate of volume of
water the company has only taken advan
tage of l4OUOsquartt miles. He snid the plans
proposed take l.-MO cubic foot of water per
minule. und lliul Iho supply is inexhausll-
blo. He Ihen explained the characteristics
of the river. The large-sized c-mul , which
will deliver a maximum of 'J.WJU cubic feet
perninlnuto , will cost u total of $ lt . < XM ) .
and the smaller canal , with a maximum of
1,240 cubic feet , will reuch $1.300.000.
The detailed.cost ofconstructing the lame
canul he gave'as follows : Kight of way
and iandlirvisr ' ) ; clearing limber. * J.r > 00 ;
earth work , 8)45,515 ; head work. ? 180.7.11 ;
waste ways and guard locks , SiS.OOO ; flumes ,

waste ways , $40,000 ; protection of embank
ments , $18.X ( ) ( ) ; bridges , $57 , ! > S9 ; railway
bridges. $ ii,600 ; ; improvements. Pnpillion
river , $00.000 ; . incidentals , $10(5.024. ( Mr.
Howcll said that the cost of maintenance
was comparatively small , when the
canul was properly constructed.
Ho believed it woud bo advisable
lo conslruct the small cunul , which would
develop 20,000 horse power. He said the
largo cunal would nave a capacity of 2.5UO
cubic feet per second for twenty-four Hours ,
and us the greatest volume is consumed dur
ing ton hours ouch day , ihe suppiy for four-
icon hours can bo stored away und turned
ou during the hours of demand. Ho
stated that he believed it most ndvisn-
blo lo construct Iho canal to the
Klkhorn In Ihe first place , ucqulra the right
of way to the Plulto nnd later construct tlio
cunal lo Ihnl point. In reply lo Ihe ques
tion , ho said It would cosl uboul Jl,000,000 to
construct'tho canal from Seymour park to
the Kluhurn. Mr. Howcll wild that the cost
of the electric plant was not Included in
the estimate , aud that Iho pra | > osi-
tlon must bo considered in two forms.
First , tlio pluntlng of the power ut Seymour
p-irJc , uud then iho transmitting of Ihe
power to consumers by electricity und us to
whether iho city desires lo operate ils own
electric plant or lease ihe privileges of
power to some responsible company to op
erate the olecirlu plant. To the figures must
bo * added about )0 ) per horse for devel
opment of power. He answered u question
by saying that If the city could secure $20
per horse power at Su.vmour park that tlio
income would bo § 400,001) ) per annum on the
20,000 horse povycr , and that If the same
were transmitted electrically lo the cily
nboul 18,001) ) horao jiowcrjivould bo delivered.
In talcing up iho question of water works
he said thut the elevation al Sey
mour park is such Unit it would re
quire only one-half the pumping us required
nil\v and the result would bu that no coal
would have to ba purchased. Ho said the i
canal would servo us a settling basin for the !
wulor that might bo used for domestic pur
poses , und ho believed the water would ho ns
good us that now supplied. Mr , Howcll suld
thnt the pluns hud been investigated una ap
proved by Mr. Funning of Minneapolis niid
Mr. Campbell of Denver , both eminent
authorities , and Clly Engineer Hosewutcr ,
Mr. Wheeler said thiit Chicago had con
structed its wutur works plain al u cosl of
fS.KM.tXK ( ) and that water was furnished at u
cost less than oiio-hulf of nuy other city
in the country. If Omulm had its own i
plant it would experience u similar condition
of affairs ,
Mr. Howell wns given a vote of ihanks lor
his explanation of the plan * .
Mr. Wiley road a roporl showing ihe cosl
of the Minneapolis water plain , the city
bolng bonded for $1,200,000 for the construc
tion of Iho sumo. Ho said thut he uud the
other members of the company wcro willing
to stop down nnd out , provided thu cily
would tuka hold ot the project und push it to
completion.
Tnxp iyor ' Approval.
Judge Little made u motion that the lux-
payers present express themselves us en

recommend Its adoption.
Mr. B. H , Robinson raised the question of

Mr. Ha cull replied that u mass meeting
could sclocl the same , nud ho suggested the
names of Dr. Ooor n Jx Miller , George 12.
Barker , Herman ICountzc , F. P. Kn-kcndal

Mr. Wheeler said it was not the dcslro for
the company to bo disbanded , us It was niic

The equity division of tbo dlslrict court ,
presided ever by Judge Fergusonwas the center -
ter of attraction yesterday , for Ibcre 11 wus
that the arguments in iho cusg of Million
aire Tom Murray ngalust the city were being
heard. It was an injunction In which Mur
ray uskod thai Iho city bo restrained from
continuing the work of coustruotiug Iho
sewer In Tenth slrcol from Custellur lo
Valley.
Ordinarily ono of ihoso injunction suits
attracts Ottl litllo allenllon , but this ono ro-
ulled in the court room being lllled lo suffp-
: ulion wilh laboring men , Iho men who bad
> oin thrown out of employment by the issu-
inco of Ihe temporary restraining ; order ,
vhich w.is granted last Monday. There
vcro llfty-two or' these men present und
Dho.v llgurcd lhal Murray-hud been the cause
of their losing the sum of SJ73 , which olhcr-
ivlso they would have had for use in buying
> rcad for Iheir wives and children.
Murray's claim was that by the construe- ]
,1011 of the sewer the flow was thrown upon
ils land , siluutod south of Valley street , and
( Diluted n well that was forty rods illslunt.
.n giving his tostimonv tlio point was
jrou ni out by Mr. Council , iho city attor-
icy , lhat the outlet of the sewer was UO
"cot beyond Iho limits of Murray's lund , nnd
, hat Iho real object thut he hud in fighting
, ho construction of the sewer wns because
10 did not want to pay the tux thai would bo
pcurrcd.
* The testimony wus watctiod very closely
jy iho sneelalors , all of whom wcro men
walling to go back upon iho work if llio
court dissolved Iho order. When llioy heard
Murray's objection thcro was a low mutter
ing which boded no good to Iho millionaire ,
ind some lUrcals of violence were made
igulnsl Iho man who Had taken Iho bread
from the mouths of the motliers and little1
ones.
In giving his testimony Murray atlcmplcd
lo show that by the construction of the
sewer the flow of water would bo Increased
'ind thai II would result in Iho Hooding of n
trucl of land that ho owned al a point below
llio month of the sewer und near Iho rlvnr.
When Engineer Ilosowuler went upon'tho
witness stand Iho theory was hewn to bo
false , as ho convinced the court that ,
the incruasod flow of water would bo'
scarcely tnoro tlian at the present
lime. Nol only Ihis , bul it would conceit
trnto the storm water and curry it awuy ,
thus preventing the washing of llio grades
ihrough Murray's lund. The nuisance theory
wns shown to bo fulso for the reason Hint
when the sewer wus constructed nil of the
offul would bo carried through Iho pipes Instead -
stead of being emptied into an open ditch , us
ut the present timo.
