Business men of Omaha who have been
giving some attention to the prouosod bond
xchcmo are becoming very much opposed to
IU Hero are some expressions of their
opinions :
N. U. Falconer I am not in favor of voting
ing bonds for the purchase of the waterworKs -
worKs or electric light plant. 1 vould bo In
tnvor of the canal scheme , If assured that It
was practical and that sufllclcnt water could
procured from the Platte river. The
present bond proposition Is premature and
If anything is to bo done towatd building a
canal It should bo postponed until the enter
prise can bo undertaken legally.
George Wlli-ox 1 had a very good opinion
Df'tho canal scheme as it was hrst presented ,
tut I do not like the Idea of voting bonds for
the purchase of sotncthlnir 'vo do not want.
I am not in favor of buy Ing cither the water
works or electric light plants.
C. J , ICarbnch I am not in favor of the
bond proposition In any way , shape or man
ner. As 1 ut-dorstand the situation the voting
ing of thesebonds-would , bo throwing money
away. I nm not la favor of the city buying
the water works or the electric light plant.
1 would bo In favor of building the canal , If
it could bo done , provided that wo had any
assurance that the money would bo Judi
ciously expended.
Dennis UJtiningham I do not wish to sco
the city lay down now. Wo are all Inter
ested In having the growth of the city
maintained and 1 think that the Voting of
bonds to bo expended In public Improvements
would bo acrood thine. However , I do not
know as the buying of the waterworks
would bo of any help to us.
W. II. Hazzard 1 am noti In favor of voting
ing any bonds for the purchase of water
works or electric light plants. It would only
make a few moro positions for political
favorites. Bonds would be nil right if they
vould bo used for the construction of a canal ,
us that would bo a great bcnellt to the city
by bringing manufacturing Industries hero.
George Schroeder The whole bond scheme
is ridiculous and it is not worth the whllo to
spend any time in talking about it.
U. B. McCialn I am not In favor of voting
loonds as the matter stands at present. If
the matter was In such shape that the money
could bo used for the construction of a canal
I would bo In favor of It.
AV. K. Hiddoll I vote for every bond prop
osition that I think will do the city any
igood , but if this is a scheme to benefit some
individuals I have no use for it. If the
proposition is so protected that the city will
got what it bargaius for I am in favor of the
bonds , oven if the money should bo used to
buy waterworks or an.elcctrie light plant.
ICd Lytie I would bo in favor of bonds for
the purpose of building a canal , but when it
comes to buying waterworks' or an olcctrlo
I light blant I am not so favorably Impressed
with the proposition.
J. D. Youncer If It Is only a question of
buying the waterworks or electric light
plant I am not in favor of voting bonds. I
can sco no advantage to be gained by the
city In buying out the water and electric
light companies.
E. J. U. Wohlcrs 1 supposed at llrst that
the bonds \vero to bo used for constructing a
canal , but as I understand the bond proposi-
j. lion now it is something that ought to be
looked to very carefully. According to the
proposition the bonds cannot bo used for
constructing a canal. If they could it might
bo well to vote them.
J. J. Muller The voting of bonds for
waterworks or electric light plants would be
Investing more capital , and , so far us I can
see , without any special benefit to the city.
C. 1C. BliYckjI cannot see any advantage
to be gaincd by the city In owning water
works or electric light plants. If they would
go about it In the right way I would bo in
favogof building a canal , as water power is
a jyorld boater when It comes to manufactur
ing , and nothing else would glvo the. city
such ; v stimulus.
E. M. Hulse I can see no reason what
ever for voting these bonds. If wo are go
ing to Issue bonds lot us issue them for some
purposa that will build up the city. Wo are
certainly getting all the water wo can drink ,
and it Is all nonsenseto talk about buying
something that will do us no good.
George W. Tibbs You will find that the
business men of the city generally are op
posed to the voting of the bonds. It would
seem to mo that the city had gone fur
enough in the bond voting business for the
present. This voting of bauds for every
thing that comes along is not bused on
soun business principles , but is a relic of the
old boom days.
Samuel Cotner It has been my opinion
that it Is a very heavy bond to vote at the
present time. Of course if the city was to
receive any great bcnollt from the voting of
the bonds It mizht bo well enough , but wo
ought to bo pretty sure that the money is
to bo properly expended.
J. A. Sunderland 1 will vote against the
bonds because I do not believe that they
present a businesslike proposition. I think
that when the city creates an indebtedness
of $1,500,000 or any other amount wo ought
. , to know definitely what is to bo done with
I1 * ' the money , and the full value secured to the
city. I think It Is fair to the taxpayers when
, a proposition of this kind Is presented that
it hhould contain a plain statumcnt of just
what is to bo accomplished with the money.
, John F. Flack 1 am not In favor of voting
the bonds. If it is intended to use the money
for the purchase of the waterworks there
Is not enough , and I do not kuoiv what wo
want of an ohMtrlo light plunt. Some are
claiming that the money Is for the purpose of
building a canal. If so lot's have a proposi
tion presented to the voters la a legal form
that will say what it means.
Cadet Taylor I think that most every
body is in favor of the building of a cniuil ,
but the question is whether this bond propo
sition covers that. The amount of money
proposed to bo voted In the bonds Is not
sufllclont to buy the waterworks , so that Is
out of the question , and I do not sea what
we want of an olcctrlo light plant , at the
present time nt least. If the bond proposi
tion was presented in the right sliupo so
that the money would be Ubed for a canal 1
would bo In favor ot It.
William Huydcn If there was a cer
tainty that the money could bo used fora
canal I would be In favor of It , provided , of
course , that the canal is practical , As the
proposition now stands wo would prefer to
bo counted out.
A. J. Hunscom I think that every property
'
erty owner that bus 'iftiy sense fuels that
this bond proposition is a swindle and a
fraud , 1 think that will give an idea ot my
views on the subject.
O. II. Pratt -I am not in favor of the bond
proposition , 11 is too uncertain what the
money Is to bo used for.
A. li. Wood docs not think that In Us
present form ho can vote fur the proposi
tion.
tion.Li. . B , 1'owler I have felt that If Messrs.
Kountzo. Murphy , Miller and Barker had
prepared the plan which had been adopted
by the city council I would have
had no hesitancy in endorsing It.
Hut I understand that the present
proposition Is entirely different from the
plan suggested and recommended bv them.
1 should certainly want to investigate it
very carefully before giving It my endorse
ment in its present form.
Samuel Hums I read the oxprcisions of
business men in TUB SUXIUY llnu , and
VfUh to be quoted as coinciding In every
particular with the position taken by Her
man KounUo. I think the adoption of the
bond proposition as it now ittuids would be
Tory unwise.
A. L. Doan-1 would be in favor of voting
bonds for a canal , but not for any other
purpose.
O. F. Goodman In the present shape of
the proposition I am opposoxVto it , If tha
Idea 1s to build a canal \vlUi the montiy It
wll | bo money In our pocket * to call a special
election to vote bonds when the question Is
In proper ihupo to bo presented to the
Voters.
Max Mover I would bo In favor of votln ?
bondi for the purchase of waterworks 1
bellovo that the city ought to.acquire a
waterworks plant.
Adolph iluywr I am 6K ln t the bond
proposition In Its present shape. If the
money could bo used for the construction of
n canal , and It could bo shown that such a
canal would reduce the cost of power and
light I would be In favor of it oven if it did
cost a good deal.
F. C. Ayer What Oo I think of the bond
proposition ? Wo don't want anything to do
with It. There are no safeguards around It
and the whole scheme Is Impractical , The
proportion as It stands now ought not to bo
voted upon at all.

1 AID HIS BOOH BENT.
llnrvcat Henpcil by n Smooth Shnrpor with
Counterfeit Currency.
There was a nowswlndlcrln town Wednes
day and ho certainly made hay whllo the
sun was shining. His scheme was to go tea
a house whcro furnished rooms are lot and
after looking at the apartments would
agree to move In as soon as ho could get an
express wagon. As nn evidence of good
faith ho would pay f5 or $0 In advance. At
least that Is what ho pretended to do. In
making the payment that was to bind the
bargain a fJO bill would bo offered and the
change given. It Is needless to say that the
(20 bill wan counterfeit ana not a very good
ono at that.
Yesterday forenoon four women called at
the police station and told Captain Cormack
the same sad story and exhibited ono of
the bogus bills.
Miss Hurst , 1110 North Nineteenth street ,
was the llrst to report the matter. She had
been taken In by the smooth young man ana
had given up $ li > , ln good hard money for the
bogus twenty. Mrs. H. I. Garllck , 1210
Capitol avenue , also contributed ? 1' to the *
swindler.
From Capitol avenue the confidence man
drifted over to Cass street and up to Mrs.
Stanhovcn's houso. Hero the samu story
was told and (15 moro fell into the pockets
of the shark.
At the house of Mrs. ti. DInsledirc , 710
South Sixteenth street , a room was rented
and the lady gave the swindler $12.
The bogus hills are now in the hands of
Captain Cormack , who is looklue into the
mutter and trying to catch the thief.
Ho Is described as of medium size , smooth
face , black clothes , considerably worn , and
a soft felt hat. To all appearances ho is a
working man. All of the bills passed are
CNactly the same and arc supposed to rep
resent a $20 silver certillcato. The work Is
very poor and It Is a surprise to the police
that anyone would be so careless as to talco
the bill. The police think that the swindler
skipped out the same evening and have tele
graphed a description to all the surrounding
towns. The numbers of the bills passed are
B : ) , ii'J,19B ; 3i : , iat5 and B 8ii2,142. : They
are all signed A. U. Wymau , treasurer of the
United States.
SHE HAD NOT DIED.
Moutreiil Man Marries Aealu Only to Find
His Klrgt Wife Living.
About two weeks ago D. Rousseau of Mon
treal wrote Chief Scavoy stating that he
would like to hnvo proof of his wife's death
which ho understood had occurred some
four years ago , In this city. The records
\\ero looked over but no such name could bo
found and Mr. Housseau was so notified.
Another letter was received telling why the
gentleman was so anxious for proof of death.
It seems that some eight r.years ago Mrs.
Kousscau eloped with a handsomer man and
went to Chicago , talcing with her several
hundred dollars of her husband's money ,
and considerable jewelry. When the
woman's money was gone her lover deserted
her and she came to Omaha. The husband
hcard.that his wife had died hero and ho
married again , and that is what Is worrying
Mr. Housseau. Sergeant Stewart located
the woman in a house of ill fame In this
city. The woman has lived hero for about
live years , and has been paying the line
assessed by the police court for over four
years. When told about her husband's pre
dicament the woman said that she did not
care * anything about his troubles or how
many wives ho had.
A new coinedj' drama -in the German
dialect , entitled "Tho Prize Winner , " will
bo produced for the first time in this city
for four nights , commencing matinee next
Sunday , at the Fifteenth Street theater by
Charles A. Gardner , the famous comedian
and sweet singer , "and a company of first-
class actors. New1 scenery"and stage effects
and now costumes have been provided , In
cluding a startllngly realistic avalanch that
presumably buries ijH the principals out of
sight. The plot develops a prettv story of
love nnd heroism on the part of Karl the
Prize Winner , a roloassumed by Mr. Gardner ,
In the course of the performance Mr. Gard
ner will King b\x \ new songs , which are sure
to catch the popular ear. They are "Tho
Turners' Triumph. " "Tho Wedding Bolls. "
"Tho Flower Girl , " "Wand Drill , " " 11 My
Heart Could Speak. " "Tho Butterfly. " The
characters In the play are all strong , and a
line performance may be expected.
During his engagement at Boyd's theater
the latter part of next week Mr. Felix Mor
ris , the well known comodlan and character
actor , will present rfx plays two at each
perlormanco as follows : Thursday night
and Saturday matinee , "Tho Old Musician"
and "Tho Major ; " Friday night "Cham-
papno"and "Cousin Jou ; " Saturday night ,
"Thn Vagabond" and "Moses. " Mr. Morris

OMAHA , Nov. a. To the Editor of THE
Br.c ; I have been all over the eltyand
county during the present campaign and I
llnd a largo element of the republican party
Is not going to support Bennett for sheriff.
The disclosures of TUB UBK relative to the
manner In which Dennett has conducted
himself and the business of his ofllco have
made his re-election an impossibility. It is
now generally conceded by all that Bennett
is.no . longer in the race and that tbo flght is
between .fudge .J , M. Fowler , the pop-
ullat candidate , and Mr. Droxcl. The re-
suit Is that nearly all these republicans who
will not vote for Bennett under any circum
stances. and all these who desire to see
Droxcl bcaten.aro now Hocking to the stand
ard of Judge Fowler , Not only that , but
there are hundreds of Influential democrats
who will not support Drexcl , nnd of corn-so
not ono of them will votn for Bennett , con
sequently they are wet king for Fowler It
is a peculiar combination of circumstances.
Without a doubt Judge Fowler Is bettor
qualified than either of his opponents. Ho
has had four years experience ) as sheriff in
another county , nnd his record is clean.
Bennett is out , and these who don't want
Droxul are going to elost Fowlor. M ,

Sheriff Botinott has never hirttlo It a point
to nilvurtiso the escape of prisoners from
the county Jail , but on the contrary has
tnkon n good deal of pains to Itoop such
knowledge from the public. It Is not
strnnpc , therefore , that It Is impossible to
present anything Hko a complete list of the
escaped iprlsoncrs who have regained their
liberty through the Inofllelcncy and Incom-
potency of the sheriffs assistants anil
through his own lack of care and watchful
ness. Some of them , however , have boon
the result of such glaring carelessness and
neglect that the matter leaked out , and the
rmmcs of some of the prisoners who have
escaped from the Jiill during the past year
arc hero given :
On the 4th of last April four men with
long criminal records escaped from the Jail
In a bunch. Sheriff Bennett \ > as out In the
country hunting , and tho. Jailer , who is the
shorlff's brother , had taken his assistants
end gone to South Omaha to take n hand In
the local election there. This dcsel'ilon loft
only Assistant Jailer Ernest at the Jail , and
Deputy Sheriff Lewis In the sheriffs ofllco
in the court house. The prisoners had been
sot nt work shoveling back coal in the bins
in front of the furnace , and after working an
hour or so they concluded to take advantage
of the opportunity offered thorn to escape.
Four nt n Tlmoi
All they had to do was to climb through
the coal hole and decamp , and this they did
without leaving even their mall address be
hind. The men were Ed Fitzgerald , who Is
a burglar and one of the most dan
gerous criminals for his ngo in this
part of tno country ; Henry Smith ,
who escaped conviction for criminally as
saulting n 10-year-old girl because of her
inability to positively Identify him , but who
was subsequently arrested for burglarizing
the store of the Collins Gun company and
was awaiting trial with nn insurmountable
amount of o'vidcnco against him when ho
escaped ; Frank Kane , alias Charles filce ,
and John Ferguson , two members of a gang
unearthed by Detectives Savage and Dempsey -
sey In an olu rookery on South Tenth street
with a quantity of stolen plunder in their
possession that would have served to have
sent them over the road If they had ever
come to trial.
The quartet was made up , wholly of
desperate thieves , whoso crookedness was
notorious in a number of western ettlos , and
the police had evidence againsc them that
would havo\ausid : ! the filing of a second
complaint for grand larceny against them as
soon as their llrst term was completed.
Dee HlHnclmrd'i Flight.
E. D. LaMott. alias "Doc" Blanchard , who
had offered to plead guilty to the charge of
grand larceny and take a year in the peni
tentiary , but whoso offer was not accepted
by the county attorney becausoof the proba
bility of making out a more serious case ,
was another who avoided doing the state
sonio service through the Incompeteney of
the sheriff and his assistants. lie was ar
raigned September 19 for stealing a trunk of
valuable clothing from In front of the Mur
ray hotel in broad daylight , and was taken
from the court room Into tno sheriff's ofllco
to bo handcuffed before being taken back to
Jail. There wore about thirty prisoners ,
and while the handcuffing was going on
LaMott slipped quietly out and has not been
seen since.
Others who have taken French leave of
thoshoriff , and his incompetent brother are :
Agnes Donnelly , wlio "frisked" a stranger
in the burnt district , and was charged with
grand larceny ; John Doyle , a burglar whew
w ; > .s booked for a term in the pen ; Billy
Butcher , a United States prlspuor who was
charged with counterfeiting ; Edna Jones
and Efilo Smith , larceny from the ' person ;
and Henry Douglas , whom the p'olieo had
' dead to rights" for a Sixteenth street
burglary.
There Is every reason to believe that not
one in flvo of the Jail breaks has been know , ,
outside tno Jail and sheriff's ofllco , as every
possible effort has been made to keep them u
secret , and no official record of them is to bo
found , but from the number which have
beun discovered it is certain * thatnover be
fore has there been so many escapes from
the Douglas county Jail In the saino length
of time.
One case which was little less than nn
escape was the delibernto release of a'pris-
onor by the Jailor before tno expiration of
his sentence or the payment of his tine. The
Jailer took It upon himself to settle up the
matter with cash , but I'ollco Judge Uerka
severely condemned the action as wholly
without authority of law , and warned the
ofllcioui attache of the sheriff's ' ofllco that
ho would not brook any moro interference of
this kind with prisoners sent to the county
Jail from the police court.

OMAHA , Nov. 2. To the Editor of THE BEE :
You say in your editorial of this evening :
"Nino members of the city council are to bo
elected and about twenty-eight candidates
are In the field , " etc. Thin is good news to
the voters in OUT precinct. You also make
mention of the fact that "tho people of
Omaha want men In the council who will re
fuse special favors from corporations whoso
interests may bo affected by action of the
council. Wo want men in the council who
will decline to accept passes. "
These are facts and we recognize that Tun
BEE has made n % ht time and time again
against uiu corporutiuu niruiiiigB in our
council. Now will TUB BEE bo kind enough
again to publish the names of the councilmen -

was referred the ordinance regulat
ing and commanding the Omnhn

transfers on their lines.Vo know that
tticro was drafted an ordinance for the
grunting of transfers to passengers from
and to the different portions of the city , and
whenever an Inquiry Is mauo to a councilman -
man as to what has become of same ho in
variably answers that it was referred to the
committee acting on such Matters and by
said committee not yet reported.

Political Kconnnitc * IMscnsniMl at the Cluiu-
tnuqim College I.nst Kvctunc.
The study of political economics was con
tinued "by the Chautnuqua college of the
First Methodist church last evening. The
address was delivered by Governor Crnunse ,
who was favored with a largo audience.
The general theme of the address was that
a wrong principle was being pursued In re
gard to the relations between capital and
labor. Thn cry against such mun as Vandor-
bllt and Carnegie \vts a mistake and was
generally heard from men who encouraged
It for ' 'political purposes. Carncgio was a
striking example of American possibilities
'
nn'd libraries and other testimonials of
benevolence showed that ho know the right
use of the wealth ho had acquired. As a
rule the accumulation of wealth was the re
sult of ability and" iratural business condi
tions and was. not at the cxrcnso of the
musses.
Much had been said about the railroads
and it was no doubt true tha ; they were a
source of much corruption , but when it was
rellected that along their course , cities had
sprung up , desolate- prairies had been de
veloped Into fortuity , and homes hau been
furnished for thousands It must bo concluded
that in splto Of the Jobbery that might have
crept In , they were a great blessing to the
country.
The speaker devoted considerable time tea
a discussion of the subject of legislation be
tween labor and capital. At the bcbcstof the
workingmen legislation had gone in the face
of the laws of God and of nature. It had
said that u man should work a certain num
ber of hours each day when ho uhould have
boon allowed to M orlc as many hours as ho
saw fit. Labor was disposed to bo arrogant.
It assumed that It was the only laborer.
Professional men were contented to stand on
their merits. Thoy-dld not form an organi
zation and dcmauditlmt each should receive
a certain fee.
Each man shouldrecclvo Just what com
pensation his .personal talents and experi
ence demanded , and labor made a mistake In
declaring that men In certain lines of work
should be paid a stipulated sum , without re
gard to the comparative ability of the men.
These organizations injured the cause of
labor rather than benefited it. An organiza
tion which said thrtt they should bo cm-
ployed , and that these outsldct of the or
ganization should not bo employed , was an
tagonistic ; to a natural law which must ulti
mately prevail. Capital was the best friend
that labor had and'the ' better policy was to
bring them togetherTathor than to foment
nn idea which divided them into two oppos
ing classes.

CLEVELAND , Nov. 2. The Iron Trade Hc-
viowsays.It : bibecoming-plainer that un
til new enterprises are undertaken with
something like1 old-time freedom the Iron
trade will plod along substantially In the
same condition. One week maj differ from
another in the slightly brighter outlook in a
given section or in a given department of
the market , but the sum total of all thcso
occasional betterments still leaves the
trade far from the desired condition- . Out
side of the naval work in the east and the
public work In progress In various parts of
the country , present demand Is along
established lines from maker to
consumer * and the now avenues
are exceedingly few. Beyond the reports
from Plttsburg , of still better employed mill
capacity , there is little change in the past
week. The billet market has recovered n
trido fronvtho low level reached two weeks
ago , but for the reason , principally , that no
larger tonnage Is called for. Throughout
the market sellers report that the disposi
tion to use every vestige of material on hand
before new purchases are made , and the
clearing up policy was never so thoroughly
in practice. Buyer and seller alike look for
u continuance of this policy until the new
Iron and steel tariff schedule Is lixod , which
means some months of uncertainty and
cautious buying.

Knjoynblo rrogrnm Appreciated by n I/trco
Attoiiilnnrp ,
The nnnunl reception , or "opening , " of the
Young Men's Christian association last even
ing was an enjoyable and largely attended
affair.
Doan Gardner and Dr. S. Wright Butler
had been ndvcrtlsrd to bo present to glvo
the association a send off , nnd It was olthor
thin announcement or n gcnulno interest In
the welfare of the young men of the city that
drew acrowd , of several hundreds of Omaha
pcnplo to the hall last night.
It was understood that the program waste
to bopln at 8. The early coiners' were
treated to nn exhibition In the g.vmnaslum.
The exercises were with chest weights , par
allel bars , horizontal bars , etc. , and It was
stated that none ot the performers had had
any kind of special training. They were
merely showing thnlr regular class worlr ;
and those who saw them at it stand witness
that what they did was sufllclcnt advertise
ment of the advantages they were deriving
from their practice.
It was nearly 9 o'clock when the program
In the lecture hall began. By the time the
odcnlng strains of the orchestra were over ,
ovcry seat was taken and there were sev
eral il07on Into comers standing In the door
way and around the walls.
In addition to several selections by the
band there were oicht numbers on the pro
gram and each ono was attractive and well ,
rendered. Mr. Thrasher showed the
wondrous inimical and mimicking powers of
the phonograph , a representation of a run
ning train being as acceptable ns it was
novel. There was the bell.- the hissing
steam , the shrill whistle , as the engine be
gan to move out of the depot ; the rumble of
the heavy cars , the turning ot the -wheels
the squeaking of the oil-lacking axels , and
the panting of the powerful engine , as the
speed llrst slowly then rapidly increased
until the express was Hying r.long a mile
or moro a nilnuto ; then the slowing down ,
the lessening of motion , the grind of the
brakes ; and , as the next stopping place
came in view , the ringing of the bell again
to warn people from the tracks , the bustle
In the station , and the sudden stop. Everyone
ono had listened , ami when the spell was
broken the audlcnco burst into vociferous
applause.
Miss Mueller delighted the audlenco with
a song nnd Messrs. Schopp and Lower in a
zither duet , were enthusiastically recalled.
Dean Gardner , who had performed the
duties of chairman , then gave a little ad-
drcss by way of a welcome. Ho announced ,
first of nll.thatDr. Butler , who had intended
to bo present , had been kept away. The
dean expressed pleasure at seeing to many
people present nnd reminded them that they
were all of them interested In the associa
tion father , mother or sweetheart. Young
men came there to rest , to develop their
minds nnd muscle , to learn something that
would 11ft them up and bettor fit them for
their work In tno world.
Of course , the dean agreed , It cost some
thing. Everything cost something. There
j in a prayer meeting ono who
stood up and announced that she had been a
member of the church for twenty-live years
and it had cost her nothing. The dean did
not bellova It liad done her any good. Ho
did not belie /o in a religion that cost noth
ing. He urged that all parents should send
their sons to the Young Men's Christian as
sociation as the best way to train them up
in the way they should go.
After another selection by the Volkhardt
brothers , C. G. Tufttold and Herbert Wlnp-
plo wont through a series of wondrous clever
acrobatic performances.
C. S. Myers gave a proficient fancy exhi
bition wit | | a pair of Indian clubs , and his
doxteriiy was thoroughly appreciated. Then
Mr. Bullock brought up his marvellous spec-
men , the crocophaut , which finally , when ho
quarreled with a rnftln who appeared on the
scene while ho was exhibltlntr the animal's
abilities , devoured him whole and was at
once led off the stage.
