The grand Knights of Labor picnic tin
bad bean looked forward to by the loci
labor organizations and Ihelr friends 1
Omaha for some tlmo took place yesterds
according to program at Sarpy Mills parl
where a largo number of the workers an
their families spent a pleasant day an
evening. The first train with six coache
of picnickers left the Union Pacific depot t
10 n. rn. , and the second train with ton
coaches loaded to the full capacity left fc
the grounds at 1:30 : p. m. Owing to the fa (
that the Scotch picnickers failed to get
train out to Blair , the report was sprca
about the city that all trains were tied ui
which prevented many from attending th
labor picnic who were afraid to get very fa
away from homo and depend upon rallroa
transportation for return. However , thos
who did attend were evidently well please
with the sport , and while there seemed t
bo no particular sport that captured all th
attention of the crowd , the ball game between
twoen the cigar makers' nine and th
Knights of Labor was a drawing card. Th
cigar makers showed the Knights of Labo
several points on ball nnd plainly demon
atrated that their team was the better a
every stage of the game.
A largo number of tables were upon th
grounds that were used by the picnickers
with their families , at dinner , and they wer
taken by the early crowd.
At 8 o'clock District Master Workmai
Cohen Introduced Rev. Gregory J. Powell
who delivered a vury Instructing an enter
talnlng address. "This day , " he said , " 1
one that Is celebrated by mllllonsi of pa
trlotlo hearts. Well may we bo proud wit ]
the work of the founders , of our government
and when we are gone , let It be said tha
wo In our day did our duty as well. Aml <
the sounds of fireworks today we can hea
the cries of distress , as today there Is i
mighty war raging between capital and labo
that must bo met and settled some way , am
It cannot bo settled until the settlement I ;
made In the right way. "
The speaker thought that the Knights o
Labor were on the right track and compll
merited the organization for Its efforts ti
protest the homo and all Its Interests. Hi
could see In the principles of the Knight :
of Labor a ray of hope to the tellers of tin
world and especially of the United States
While It was apparently dark and gloomj
today , the morrow's sun would clear awaj
the gloom and the day would be bright. Mr
Powell then gave way to Grand Mastei
Workman Sovereign , who , for more than ar
hour , discussed the labor question , prlncl
pally upon up-to-dato subjects. The greatei
{ part of his speech was a repetition of his
addrein at Council Bluffs Tuesday evening
where ho made so many friends among th <
workers. He did not think that he waf
called upon to speak about the glorious fore
fathers and tell of the many sacred battle
fields , and said that he would leave thai
part of the Fourth of July oration for someone
ono else , who could sec more good In t
etudy.of what had. passed than In consider
ing what was In the 'future for laboring
people nnd the whole people.
Regarding patriotism , the speaker sale
Blmply adoring the flag was not true patriotIsm -
Ism , but a true patriot was a man who loved
his country and used his best efforts to make
bis government even better than when he
found It.
The work of the men who dumped the tea
In Boston harbor was described as the work
of. patriots , still an examination of the rec
ords proved that In Boston today 82 per cent
of the families are living In rented houses.
He did not bellovo that the men who dumped
the tea were being as badly oppressed as
are the people who llvo In Boston today.
Statistics were cited to show the condition
of the country as a whole , and In various
localities and according to the speaker there
la great danger of oppression to the danger
point , which might cause a revolution.
URGED TO AID THE STRIKE.
The members of the Knights of Labor
present were urged to do all In their power
to aid the A. II. U. In the Pullman strike ,
and the speaker said that so far as ho was
concerned , ho would aid the strikers all he
could , because ho believed them to be fight
ing for a correct principle. If the strike
should bo lost labor would take long strides
toward harder and more oppressive condi
tions , while It the strike were won labor
In all trades would take long strides toward
pottering Its condition. The tramp was
described as a cross between poverty and
crlmo and the dude a cross between nobody
and nothing. The tramp was a dangerous
element and the present system had iriado
tramps by the millions. In order to stop the
turning out of tramps upon the public a
check must be put upon the millionaire
despoiling class. This check could only bo
placed by the laboring people and he advised
them to use the ballot In their own Interest
to hold the despoiling class down. The sys
tem which turned out tramps at ono end
and millionaires at the other was not the
system for the middle classes and should bo
Changed for ono In accord with the demands
In the preamble of the Knights of Labor.
In every great struggle between capital
and labor , labor had always been on the right
lido , and ho hoped the people would fully
recognize the fact that peace could not come
permanently by consesslons to capital. He
denounced the action of the men who Issued
the order against Pullman strikers as being
partial to the railroad companies and unfair
to the men. Ho had nothing but contempt
for a man who would render a legal opinion
that a Pullman car was a part of a mall
train. In closing the general master work
man again asked the Knights to stand by
their follow workers and predicted that the
Cfluso of labor would soon triumph , and that
trhon labor took the reins of government ,
Justice , a regard for the rights of all the
people , would bo the aim of the government
and the courts would bo used against
the corporations as freely as they are used
now to help them. He asked It any one
ever know of the government's sending out
the army ( a prevent a large corporation
from violating any law that was against their
Interests , but no ono answered.
After the tep&aklng the crowd scattered
around oyer the grounds and spent the rest
of the day In boating , dancing , races , shootIng -
Ing and firing cannon crackers.
DKar MUTI ; I-ICNIC.
Strunlon of the Student * from School * ot
Nolirmhu nnd Atljncent States.
The soft , § reeu foliage , the cool shade and
the clear , running water of Hanscom park
acted aa a magnet , drawing to Kg hills anil
dells the thousands of persons who were
nnxlouQ to be far from the sound of explod
ing courion cracker and the Fourth ot July
distraction ot the city. With this object ID
Tlsw , the Omahans who wanted a quiet day
nd a pleasant outing plunged Into this for
est , made beautiful by God , with the finish
ing touches put on by the handiwork ot man ,
where they remained from the time tha sun
reached the zenith until It climbed down
behind the western hills. There were fine
equipages , spoony lovers , families and pic
nics galore in the pork , but there were no
pericms thcra who were happier than the
100 mutes from Nebraska , Iowa , Missouri
and Kansas , who had gathered for the pur-
peso ot holding trelr first annual picnic and
reunion. Most ot them had graduated from
the Nebraska and Iowa school * and the
meeting with their families was to more
firmly bind the ties ot friendship termed
when they were students In the two schools.
Other * picnics were more noisy and boleter-
Otib , but In no cpot In the park was there

The committee , composed of F. Dulai
F. Ward , William Kline , L. Pound nnd
K. Comp , was always In the right place a
all of the members were vying with ca
other to make the occasion as pleasant
possible for their guests. When the dlnr
was spread all fell to and nto with a relli
but not a word was spoken , althou
the sign language of the deaf nnd dur
was brought Into use In expressing nppro\
of the surrounding ) and the event whl
brought so many mutes Into company.
With the completion of the dinner , t
carrying out of the program was commence
the Intention being to see a sign oratl
from Prof. Holloday of the Iowa school , b
on account of sickness In his family t
oration was omitted from the program , sli
speeches being delivered by a number of t
gentlemen present. Then there were storl
told In the sign language , which the nm
cnco appreciated by seeing , Instead of hea
Ing. The patriotic song , "Tho Star Spangl
Banner , " was rendered by Mrs. C. E. Con
In such a delightful manner that she w
compelled to sing another song by slg
before the spectators who were outside tl
picnic party would bo satisfied. Mrs. Con
Is one of the teachers In the Nebraska scho
and Is considered one of the most cfllcle
mute educators In the country. This closi
the literary part of the program and tl
balance of the afternoon was given over
sports , consisting of running , Jumping ai
athletics.

Probably G.OOO people crowded Into tl
Courtlond beach enclosure before the ovei
Ing crowds began to gather. It was tl
greatest day In the history of this populi
pleasure resort and the attendance ful
Justified the efforts that had been made
care for and entertain the visitors. Tl
crowds did not begin to arrive In force unl
nearly noon , although hundreds of smn
picnic parties were making themselves i
home In the grove long before that hot
arrived. The first cars of the afternoc
brought the early Installments , and fro
then until 9 o'clock last evening every c <
was loaded to the footboards. The Unlc
Pacific Inaugurated Its train service and
proved an elllclent aid to thr- electric llm
In handling the crowds. There was an ei
tire absence of the crush and Inconvenlcm
that marked the celebration at the beach or
year ago yesterday.
The people paid but little attention to th
regular program. This was Impossible , fc
the large crowd contained thousands of pei
pie , who were out for solid enjoyment. Cot
sequently they gave their attention to swln
mlng , boat riding and picnicking. Tli
merry-go-rounds and the switchback ral
way were constantly crowded. And yet th
stage performances drew their quota (
the thousands. The three La Roses gav
their laughable Chinese act repeatedly dui
Ing the day. Albert ! , the European jugglei
delighted the crowds , while Press Wakefiel
made his thrillnlg slide for life several time !
to the Immense delight of the people , es
peclally the younger ones.
At B o'clock Prof. Barnell made a balloo
ascension , which was pronounced the fines
ever given nt the beach. The balloon ares
to a height of about 3,000 feet and Its cours
was as straight upward toward the zenlt
as an arrow would have flown. For a tlm
the local management were apprehensive tha
the parachute would descend Inside the en
closure and Injure some of the people , bu
when at a height of 2,000 feet a slight cut
rent of air carried the air ship a little t
the southwest and the parachute came t
earth Just outside the enclosure.
One of the features of the afternoon wa
an exhibition of the art of expert swimmlnj
by Fran Marlnno Llljenstolpe , the lady wh
has been engaged by the management to glv
Instructions In the art during the season
She Is as much at home In the water as 1
she was born there and her graceful feat
excited the.admiration of the hundreds wh
lined the beach.
The crowning feature of the celebration a
Courtland , however , was tne display of fire
works which took place from the lake las
evealng shortly after 9 o'clock under tin
personal supervision of Superintendent Crane
For more than an hour the blue dusk wa :
Oiled -with flery cascades , willow trees , re
volvlng comets , electric showers , cornucopias
prismatic dragons , shooting and changeabh
stars , diamond chains , with Roman candlci
and rockets galore. The exhibition plecei
consisted of a golden fountain , a flro center
tlonlst , artillery bomb shells , a flro balloon
large set piece bringing out the beauties
if the American flag In colors of fire and i
magnificent closing piece bearing the legend
"Good Night. "
Not a casuallty was reported during th <
lay. The best of order prevailed , no riotous
conduct was reported and the special pollci
In charge had nothing to do but follow tin
example set by the visitors and enjoy tin
iieautles of the place and the festivities ol

In view of the action brought by Pnrdee
Co. 'for a mandamus to compel the ell
council to award thorn the contract for llgh
Ing the streets of Omaha by electricity i
their bid of | 112 per lamp per annum , It mn
bo Interesting to review the electric llgl
controversy.
It Is stated by members of the counc
that In December or January last Mr. Wllej
local manager of the Now Omaha Thomsor
Houston Electric Light company , and Mi
Slrnott , Its Chicago manager , held a cor
ferenco with the mayor and the president {
the council , In which both of the latter en
pressed their opinion very positively to th
effect .that Mr. Wiley had an exceptional !
good contract , considering the quality c
light that was being furnished , Mr. Slnnot
and Mr. Wiley thereupon suggested that
new contract bo entered Into for three year
from the 1st day of March and proposed t
furnish lights at a very great reduction fror
the $176 price. It was agreed then and ther
that an advertisement should bo Inserted 1
the olllclul paper calling for bids for llghtln
the city for three years from the 1st of Marcl :
and Mr. Wiley agreed that his bid shoul
not exceed $140 per light per annum mi
he also agreed that It the contract should b
awarded to him for three years ho woul
cancel the $175 contract ,
In accordance with this Informal under
standing and on the theory that nobody els
would llltely bid , an advertisement was Inserted
sorted January 31 , calling for sealed bids t
bo presented February 13 for street llghtlni
for a term of three years from March 1 , 1801
Mr. Wiley was quite willing this cours
should be pursued , as he argued with hlmsel
that no other concern could possibly bo read ;
to do street lighting by the 1st of March.
Upon the opening of the bids Februar ;
13 , Mr. Wiley and everybody else was some
what surprised to find a new bidder In thi
ncld In Pardeo & Co. , with a bid of $11 !
per lamp per annum. Mr. Wiley , out of th <
generosity of his public spirited soul , bl <
$132 per lamp per annum for the sami
quality of light. On the 27th of Februarj
the committee on electric lights reportei
recommendlng that the contract be awardei
to Pardee & Co. , as the lowest bidder , or
condition that within three days Pardee &
Co. deliver to the city a bond In the sum ol
$25,000 , conditional that they would ' entei
Into and carry out the contract. The'reporl
was adopted and on the 2d of March Par-
dee's bond , with S. D. Mercer as surlty , was
presented.
presented.THEN JUGGLING BEGAN.
The Juggling commenced at once. Mr ,
Wiley was outgeneraled up to this point ,
but he got his second wind and Immediately
set himself at work to compass the defeat
of the new bidder. Rallying his forces In the
council he prevented the reading of the bond
In the council and had It referred without
reading to a high joint committee made up
of the committees on judiciary , telegraph ,
telephone and electric light poles , and gas
and electric lights. On this committee arc
Isaac S. Hascall , Daniel H. Wheeler , William
P. Bechel , P. M. Back , Robert Holmes , ' 0.
L. Thomas , Albert Cahn and John Lemly.
The record shows that Hascall , Wheeler ,
Bechel , Back and Thomas have persistently
fought with Mr. Wiley on everything In con
nection with the electric light bids , except
that Back and Thomas signed the original
report awarding the contract to Pardee &
Co. when they had that report drawn so
that they thought Pardee could not furnish
the bond within the time specified.
The" bond has never been passed upon , but
still rests In the hands of this high joint
committee. As a part of the policy of the
delay a trip to San Francisco was arranged
and the electric light business was held up
for three weeks by this means. Then the
proposed franchise which would enable Par-
dee & Co. to come into the city was defeated
and Hascall's omnibus ordinance was brought
up and also defeated.
The next move on the chess board waste
to readvertlse for bids , and the Juggling con
tinued here , for Instead of submitting a
formal proposal , which would enable any
honest competitor to enter the field , the
advertisement was purposely drawn In such
a way that only Mr. Wiley could meet Its
absolute and unconditional terms. By the
terms of the resolution bids were to be re
ceived May 18 , but Mr. Wheeler and City
Comptroller Oleson , without authority , after
the advertisement had been published two
days , changed the date to the 22nd of May.
Mr. Wiley's hand was also shown In the
reduction of the quantity of hs'.it for which
bids were asked. The Pardee bid was upon
45 volts and 10 amperes , whereas the new
bids called for 45 volts and 9.5 amperes.
The difference In the quantity of light Is 5
per cent. A further condition was that no
bid should be received at a figure above
$112 per annum per light. Two bids were
asked for , one for the remainder of the year
after the expiration of Wiley's contract and
the other for three years "from and after
the expiration" of Wiley's contract. Mr.
Wiley bid $111.50 per light per annum for
the short term. This bid Is $5.10 higher
than Pardee's bid on the former advertise
ment , taking Into account the difference In
the , quantity of light contracted for. But
there were three bids presented for the long
term , one at $87.50 , one at $95 , and Wiley's
Individual bid at $100. Wiley's contingent
was again surprised and more juggling com
menced , resulting finally In the rejection of
ill the bids for the long term on frivolous
md Insincere grounds , but Mr. Wiley was
warded the contract for the remainder of
; ho year and his two fast friends , Wheeler
ind Edwards , both took the position imme-
Jlately after the contract was awarded to
IVIley for the short term that the awarding
> f the contract for the short term made it
mposslble to let the contract for" the long
: erm to anybody else. They showed their
lands very plainly In this matter. The re-
) ort rejecting all bids stated that there was
; oed reason to believe that still better bids
: ould be obtained than those received under
, he last advertisement.
WANT NO nEADVERTISINO.
Acting upon this suggestion , Mr. Elsasser
immediately offered a resolution to readver-
ilso , which the Wiley councllmen refused to
iavo read under the two-thirds rule. At the
next meeting of the council there was more
! un over the olectrlo lights , for Pardee &
2o. filed a written statement of Its position
md demanded that the contract be awarded ,
[ { ascall , Bechel and Wheeler worked them-
lelves up to a white heat over this and sue-
: eeded In having It referred to the high Joint
sommlttee , which contains flvo Wiley men
md three gentlemen who believe the city's
nteresta should first be considered. But
lia : was not all. Mr. Eleasser again Intro-
luced a resolution , drawn In proper terms ,
llrectlng the comptroller to advertise for
lids. With great glee and with very little
loremony the Wiley gang put this Innocent
etojuUon to sleep In the committee of the
vholo and laid on the table a motion to go
nto the committee of the whole to consider
t , showing conclusively that It la no part of
he Wiley scheme to readvertlse for bids
mill about the time when the short term
lontract expires.
The short term contract was awarded to
> Vlley on two conditions. The flrst was that
Vlloy should cancel bis $175 contract and the
other waa that tlk * council should allow J
Wiley the bills votoftd by the mayor ,
carrying out Us paH.oft the contract the cou
ell passed the olectrtfc light bills over t
mayor's veto , butlth'o mayor has not y
signed the warrant -rftid Mr. Wiley has n
yet affixed his nlfcnntlire to the hort tcr
contract , although ! It has been drawn by t
city attorney for twtf weeks and has be
awaiting his signature It may bo an lllcg
contract , at all events' as It docs not comp
with the terms oMh * advertisement and i
$500 check was Ucposlted with the com
troller aa evidence of good faith. If tl
Pardee mandamus proceedings arc BIICCCS
ful the contract canhot bo executed ,
course.
This leads up to the last act , which
the signing of thb articles of Impoachme
by Hascall and Wheeler. Mr. Wiley pro
ably feels and knows that the next cl
council , to ba elected In November , will n
be owned body nnd soul by him and his a
soclatid corporations , nnd It may be that I
this reason ho Is desperate at this tlmo nt
will spare nothing to accomplish his sever
purposes , which are , first , to obtain tl
money claimed for electric lighting , an
second , to hold the monopoly of olectr
lighting for the city of Omaha. Just ho
long the Thomson-Houston company en
afford to maintain Wiley nnd Wiley mcthoi
remains to bo seen.

A TALK ON PIANOS.
How STfi.OO Mny Ho Sinecl In Ituylng
1'lnnn.
Up on the fourth floor of Hayden Bros
big establishment In the music room tli
other day were two ladles holding an an
mated conversation regarding the merits an
demerits of certain pianos.
"I don't see why you should buy you
pianos In a department store , " said oni
"You know you can buy everything undo
the sun here besides pianos. Why don't yo
go to a regular piano store , where they se
nothing but pianos think of nothing bu
pianos ? It seems to me that you would b
bettor satisfied. "
' 'You must remember , Ellen , " said he
companion , "that In this department Is cat
rled as large a stock of pianos , organs an
musical Instruments as can be found I
Omaha. It Is under the management of
piano man second to none In Nebraska I
Is closely looked after to the minutest dc
tall , and by paying spot cash for stocks
Instead of taking them on consignments
as Is the usual custom , they can sell cheane
yes , much cheaper than the averag
dealer , and they only handle the fines
grades of pianos. "
"What grades do they handle ? " was asked
"The Chlckerlng" for which Haydei
Bros , are the sole Omaha agents "Thi
Lester , " "tho Mathusctek , " "tho Behnlng' '
and lots of others. "
"How much cheaper do they sell than th <
average dealer ? " was the next question.
"Ordinarily Hayden Bros , save about $75.Qi
on each piano bought from them. The ;
buy for spot cash they have no canvasser'
they have no commissions to pay the ren
and expenses are cheaper than In an ordl
nary music store Hayden Bros , group al
their departments all' stores within them
selves under ono head one expense oni
management , and the customers reap thi
benefit. "
The last speakerwast right. Not only doe :
the customer reap the benefit on pianos
organs and all kinds of musical Instruments
but every department- the store offers its
goods at prices that are never undersold
From a pound of butter to a suit of clothes
from a package of pins to a suit of cham
ber furniture , Haydert ros. offer the great
est money's worth to tie had In Omaha.

First United Presbyterian Church Tenders
n Reception to Itev. and 31 rs. Gnilmm.
Rev. E. D. Graham , editor of the Midland
and formerly pastor of the First United
Presbyterian church , was , with his wife , ten-
lered a farewell reception by the congregation
it the church Tuesday evening , Mr. Graham
being about to remove with his family to
Chicago.
The church was very prettily decorated
ivlth house plants , palms and ferns.
Mr. John S. Smith spoke for the congrega-
: lon and particularly for those who were
members during Mr. Graham's pastorate ,
.vhlch . extended from 1880 to 18S8. Mr.
