It w-as Hazcn'i turn to luh yesterday ,
and his friends did BO with commendable
cncigy , usliiK both sides of their mouths In
tlio attempt to mai.ufnctuiv a democratic
smile , while the Scanlnn forces changed
their exultant dcmeaiior of Saturday night
for one that had considerably more blue in
its makeup. At the present tlmo llojt-n Is
twelve votes ahcaJ of his opponent , suppos
ing that every loxuiship and precinct In the
county is counted , owing to the unexpected
dovelcpmcntft of .vesttyday.
Hael Ilell was the first precinct to be
counted uftcr the Judges resumed tin-it work
at 'J o'clock In the afternoon. Un tl.e face of
thn returns Scan Ian had olchty-clirht votes ,
while Harcn had eighty-four. Hy counting
two ballots for llatcn that had bce'i ' thrown
out by the election judges on account of sup
posed irregularities and bv counting out two
of Scanlan's votes , tin ; result was changed
to eighty-six a piece.
it was In Knox township that the genuine
surprise calm' . When the straight repub
lican ballotK weii ; counted several wore
found with Hazcn's name mnrkcd with a
check mark , it is sui ) | > osud that the judges
were counting with a | > oor light or did their
work hurriedly , for it is net to be Inngined
Hint n board in which the democrats pre
dominated woiild deliberately count the
democratic candidate nut. Several other
changes were made by casting out votes ,
and when tint judges were through tne vole
was changed from l'.C > to : iit : in Ha/en's
tavor to IM ) toIUT. mnklng a total difference
of twrho votes in llu/.on's favor.
In the Second > vniil the result v > as un
changed from that appearing on the face of
the return * .
In Wright township the face of the re
turns showed the vote to stand UK ) to _ " . ) in
Hc.inlan's fa\or Scanlati lost one vote ,
while Iln/cn's stood at the same figure ,
making the final result \0 \ to ' . " .I.
The republicans claimoU Saturday that
Scanliin would go on winning % otes in every
precinct that was recounted , from the fact
that the democrat ! , having a majority on
each election board , would DC found to have
thrown out Scanlan's \otcs every now and
then for irregularities which n more un
biased court would decide weie not irrcgu-
lull ties at all. The result of ycstcrda.x s
count was theicfore u genuine eye-opener
for them. The only thing they can do Is to
stand off and fervently pray that their ex
perience of yesterday will not bo repeated to
an ) great extent.

Stretched , without Vending , upon the bat
tlefield of life , sccklnpto fbenumb the mis
eries of destitution with snatches of sleep.
200 idle men passed last night at Hcscuc hall
In this city.
Hungry , homeless , without work , money
or friends , lu fact without everything ex-
cent appetites , these unfortunates appealed
for shelter In the hall. The request was
granted , and the men seemed to feel grate
ful for the privilege of sleeping on ttio hard
Hoer or in chairs in proximity to two largo
stoves
The wolf of poverty with a double row of
tenth is also at the door of the Institution
which affords thcsu starving and sleepless
unemployed their only resting place. Unless
relief corau * quickly the Christmas carols of
these men will be cries for bread and they
will be turned upon , the streets with no
place to lay their heads at night.
A IMtUIt c I'lcture.
Last evening a Men reporter visited Hes-
cue hall. It was r. pitiable picture of pov
erty lu Its worst stage. The helping hand
of Kuv. A.V. . Clark had lifted ' . ' 00 penniless
uieu from street to shelter.
In tlio rear of tlio hall , behind a thin par
tition , l'J8 men were reclining on the Hoor.
while thirty or forty more were
sitting around in cramped positions
in chairs. All were endeavoring
to sleep , regardless of personal discomfort.
Utie yiiung man stretched ujxm a plain , pine
table , without bedding , was suffering with
sickness , while another unfortunate lay on
the floor near the stove , gleaning with an
attack of la grippe. An old , white-haired
man , occupied a chair and vainly wooed the
god of sleep. His chin sank on his In-cast.
Tears wcru In his eyes. This was only one
of many living pictures of despair that
greeted the visitor.
Not a pillow waa visible in the room.
Hlunkets and bedding were an unknown
quantity. Newspapers spread UJKJU the floor
were substitutes for mattresses. All nativi
ties , including an Afro-American , were hud
dled together in close quarters. Ver.y few
of the men enjoyed the luxury of an over
coat. They possibly had pawned them for
bread Those who were blessed with overcoats
Utilise them for pillows , while others rested
their pauper bones upon these improvised
"springs. " The windows in the room were
all tightly closed in order to keep out
the spray of the cold wa\o. This pave a
disagreeable odor full possession , and the
aroma was burdened with "steerage fra
grance" when the men discarded then- boots
lor the evening. Many were sockless.
In tne main portion of the ball , around the
other stove , another large bunch of sleepers
reclined in various positions on the Hoor.
Similar scenes existed here. On the .state
a number of buuks had becu fixed up. They
were "doublo-deckcd'-cots with scanty bed
ding. These beds , are sold for
l'J cents per night t to men who
arc fortunate enough to earn
a pittance at odd jobs during the day. The
income thus derived is used to buy soup for
all the hungry nextdny. boup and bread are
given to all twice a day , but this is barely
sufficient to stay the pangs of hunger.
Wliut the Itt-'sUlcr Miuwcil.
A register is kept at 'Ucscue hall and it
contains the nau eM age. nativity ,
occupation , addrcssind | : tcligion of all
applicants for r.Ue A perusal of
'
this record disclosed the.lact , th'at 43S men
Uad applied for food iud Jiolter within the
past few weeks. The.bultfof the applicants
are deservlup men whu ave out of eniuloy-
ment. It includes jnacluiHsts , railroad men ,
carpenters , laborers , foiyi , clerics and in
fact all branches of mechanic life. Tramps
are scarce. The unemployed' ' come mostly
from Chicago amt * tliu Past. while
many consist of railroad lab rers from
the west. Colorado miners and wage earners
are largely represented. The closing of the
World's fair gates , with the sequel of thou
sands of idle men , has rosultcJ in a portion
of the overflow reaching this city. Com
paratively few of the deititute are Omaha
wage earners. Being centrally located ,
Omaha is a resting place for employment
seekers from the east and west who are
vainly looking for work.
The iegistcr disclosed the fact that nearly
every nationality on the face of the globe
was represented , including a Japanese , who
gavejiis religion as "llaptist. " One man
named Ernest Toot , from Alaska , was regls-
tcied. Tne Methodist faith predominated
In registration. The Episcopalians have the
smallest representation. Among the pen
niless men bowed with oldage , whose names
adorn the record of hardship , is William
Stout of Topeka. Ivan , aged ( V ) years :
Patrick Flaherty of Omaha , who has s eu
sixty-lire winters and a hard one tl'is year ,
is on the list. II E. Wilkc of DOS Moines ,
la. , a uainter by trade , has passed his Olst
birthday. The youngest on the list is W. 1C.
Fellows of Clinton , la. , who gives his age as
17 years.
One of the saddest eases was that of John
Moore from Wilsonville , Neb. He is a deaf
tuutc.
One young man , who had evidently seen
better days , remarked with sorrow that ho
had purchased a celluloid collar. Ho said
that when he lirst came bore from Chicago
ho applied , for work aj , various places , but
his clot lies and linen were aguinst him.
Hacs , ho agreed , may be royal raiment when
worn for honestj's sake , but he icgarded
them as a handicap for a man in search of
employment. He determined to raise a
stake. A few days ago he went into
a gambling house on Dmiglus street and
watched a lucky player at faro. He
Htood behind tins player , whose luck imme
diately changed. Being impressed that the
new arrival was a "hooiloo , " he gave him t5 !
cents to get out of the room , a proposition
which the young man accepted with joy.
With the stake thus realized , he attained
Mis ambition to buy a clean collar , after In
dulging in coffee and cakes at a cheap res
taurant. Hu promptly discarded liis dirty
linen and donned the shining celluloid. He
applied for work with great expectations
that , his Improved personal aupearance
would Impress employers , but in this ho was
doomed to disappointment.

A reporter saw. Kev. A. W. Clark , who
has been acting as superintend
ent of Kcscue hall for some time.
Mr. Clark deplored ; the fact that
the churches hud lost { merest In Hescuo hall
just at the period whop their assistance was
mostly needed. Kcccnily 'the board of direc
tors had decided to ubaudpn the institution ,
owing to lack of proppr'financial oncourugo-
nient. About this time the small army of indigent
digent/ men begging Jorbshelter put in an
apivearaiu-c. Air. Uark\ Dually decided tenet
not shut the. doors in the faces of these men
with empty pockets ondiemptlcr stomachs.
He has been running1 the institution without
compensation on airoponsibllity for
soreral nights , rathcntban turn these men
out in the stroots. ITUe generous-hearted
Clark and his assistant. "O. II. Klchtmls ,
will appeal t ) the nobttf-hearted citizens
of Onmhu to extend udibipini ; hand and save
these victim , of poverty1 from starvation.
Ho docs not propose uxraubllsh a tramps'

cants for soup and shelter aru men
who are willing to work wen deserving
of charity , who have been turown out of
employment and left tostara a hard winter
in the face. There are no funds available to
continue the work. Mr. Clark hopes to
u rouse public-sympathy and receive numclent
contributions to allyviujq the distress of the
destitute wage earners.
