Sov ereign of the Knlghta of Lnbor arrived In Omnha ycptcrdny nnd Is stopping nt the Dcllonc , where Knights of Labor head quarters liavq been temporarily established for tile next 'fuw dnyo during the present executive sfEUlon of the general ofllccnt. Mr. Sovereign left Chicago Sunday evening nnd was nlmoBt tired out. Ho snys that he fpoko at a number of meetings Sunday In Chicago and that tlie.sympathies of the people In Chicago arc entirely with the Pullman strikers. When asked regarding the present condition of the strike , he mild : "Tho Htrlke Is still on nnd In full force. The general managers of the railroads are Imply whistling to keep up courage. We know Just the amount of buslnusn they are doing In a general way nnd they are not handling any freight to amount to anything. They are nimble to get men to take the places * of the strikers to handle freight business. " The leiulerH now In Omaha are nil In hearty sympathy with President DehH of the A. H. u. nnd express themselvuH ns being wllllni ; to do all In their power to assist him In making an nblu defense. Among other thlngH to he considered while In Omnha IM the q-uextlon of forming labor military companies , and from the ex pressions ) made by the menilicrH of thu gen eral executive board yesterday It is quite probable that an order will be Issued asking nil mcmbera of thu order to become members of the Htate militia In the various statca of the union. General Master Workman Sovereign will be Invited to tpcak In Omaha as noon ns the local committee complotGH arrange ments. Mr. Henry li. Martin and Thomnti II. McGulrc are said to be good talkura and they will iilso be given un opportunity to tell what they think the working people ought to do. It was rumored In the afternoon that Dele gate JlcGuIre has n scheme for having the government foreclose the mortgage on the Onion Pacific railroad and have this rail road operated by the govcinment In the future , as has been advocated by the KnlghtH of Labor. Mr , McGtilre seems to think this could he done without further delay If only congress would take action upon the matter , and If this congress does not do the right thing he thinks the next con gress will he made up with more frlend't of the people , so that the people as welt as the railroads will receive some consider ation at the hands of the government. It IR predicted that If the government would foreclose the Union Pacific mortgage the price of railroad stocks would greatly deciease and that this would be the be ginning which would end In the govern ment owning and operating all the rail roads of the country. Tlmt this matter will he considered dur ing this session Is a certainty , but It Is not known yet what proccrs will be employed to bring about the foreclosure. truaic or IXKCUTIVI : no.viu ) . Nothing but Itnntlnn Dullness Under Con- sldiTiitlon Yvitcnlny. The members of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor held a ses sion yesterday afternoon at the Dellone. "Nothing but routine business has come up so far , " tald Press Commlttceman Mc- Gulre , when asked about the progress made at the first meeting. The members say this Is their regular quarterly meeting and that outIdo of the regular business of the order , Which Is gone over nt stated times by the general Officers , they 'expect nothing strik ingly new to como up for consideration. In the evening the visitors were Introduced to a largo number of Omaha people , and as all of the gentlemen are pleasant talkers those who met them were highly enter tained discussing the trials and woes of orgnnl/.ed labor and predicting what the outcome would bo In the pending contest be tween Pullman and his employes. Delegate Kenney says that Debs has ono of the very best lawyeis In the country to de fend him. and thinks thnt It Is a great In justice that Debs nnd his comrades cannot bo tried before a Jury. Mr. Kenney has not been In Omaha for several weeks , nnd when asked" 'regarding ' his trip for the order he sold : "When I left hero I went to Louisville , Ky. , and In less than two weeks' tlmo there I organized seven new local assemblies nnd reorganized two old assemblies that had gene down from lack of Interest In the local meet ings. In that city the trades unionists and Knights of Labor were not working together In harmony before I went there , but when I called them all together nnd told them how the two organisations worked together harmoniously In the Central Labor union of Omaha their leaders at once set about to bring them closer together tnere , and I am Informed slnca leaving Louisville that the organizations now are assisting each other In booming union- labels and In various other ways. While there I also was successful In getting a contract with the largest steam laundry In the city to employ none but Knights of Labor girls In the laundry. "From Louisville I went to Chicago , and whllo there organized nine new assemblies and reorganized four old ones , And let mo tell you , Chicago Is going to lead all the cities In organized labor. The knights are now organizing from two to three new as semblies there every week. From Chicago I went to Mlhvaukec , nnd during my stny I succeeded In organizing the ice workers Into an assembly and reorganized two old locals. "My next place was Kast St. Louis , where I did some good work for our order. District assembly No. 21C has clinrgo of n congressional district there and with the a'd cf the dis trict ofilcers wo placed two new locals In the dhtrlct and did considerable work among the miners. The members of the miners union there Informed us that unless their union went Into politics they would leave the union and go In with the Knights of Labor. When I left Hast St. Louis I went to Texas nnd have been pretty uell all over that state. Whllo there I attended the slate convention of the people's p.irty and was well pleased toce such n harmonious and enthusiastic ) convention. Thcro were n num ber of eld men In the convention who had been old democratic wheel horses In Texas for years. I am of the opinion that the pop ulists will carry the state of Texas this year , and If they do several of our members will be elected , a * thcro arc several on the ticket. I think the pupulUts of Texas will got nnyhcw three or four congressmen and Cyclone Davis will bo among them. I am Clad to notice that our boys In Omaha are Kaln'ng nnd hope you will have a good La bor day celebration.

Father Time has bsn kind to Farmer Or lando Burgess , who resides Just outside the corporate limits of the to vn of Weeping Water , and whllo Father Time has bllvered the head of Farmer Burgess his step Is Just as clastic and he Is as full of vigor as he was long years ago , notwithstanding the fact that ho has passed the sixtieth mile stone In the race for the grave. Bright and early Sunday morning Farmer Burgess was out among his fiocka and herds , scattering the grass and grain to the hun gry animals , after which he ate a picked up breakfast nnd slid Into his best suit of clothes and hustled over to the depot , Joining the excursion that came to this city. After reaching here the farmer went out to Court- land beach , down to the park and over Elmwood , being determined to sos all of the sights. These numerous and extended trips caused Farmer Burgess to miss his train and It was a case where ho would have to stay In the city over night , or else walk home , Deb-itlng the question In his mind he con cluded that the walking was bad , besides. In fact , ho wanted to btay over night ajid look at a real city , ns It appeared under the glare of gas and electric lights. As darkness cams on Farmer Burgess con ceived the Idea that he was young again and that It would be the proper thing to do a ilttlo slumming , Just for the fun of the thing. While these thoughts of drinking and ca rousing welled up through his mind , he fulled to look over the pages of the past. Right then and there he determined that he would put In a night of It , for heas hure that the Weeping Waterites would never know any thing of his escapades. Sneaking down a back alley , Farmer Bur gess was soon within the black belt of the tenderloin district , and while everything was strange to him It was apparent that he waste to have a warm welcome. Every few steps ho was accosted by some colored female , and Invariably Ii3 was given a cordial invitation to outer the houses and partnko of the hos pitalities. The farmer from Weeping Wntcr at last formed the opinion thnt these psrsons were extending s > pecal ! privileges , and ac cordingly lie entered a dive presided over by ono Mattle Johnson. Mattle was kind ness Itself nnd urged the old man to stay and rest , an Invitation which , with n smllo , ho readily ncceptcd. Finally and at la-t Mr. Burgess suggested that on account of being from the hay field ho was tired and would like to retire for the night. Sleep closed the eyes of the granger. Dur ing the night ho awoke and happened to think that there was $35 In his trousers pocket. Hopping from the bed lie secured this roll , and bluffing It Into the toe of ono of his shoes he placed the brogan upon a table at the head of the bed. The next tlmo that Mr. Burgess opened his eyes the sun was high In the heavens and his dark charmer was gone. Jumping from his couch ho reached for the shoe which had contained the money , pinched the toe , to find nothing but emptiness. Without stop ping to make an elaborate toilet ho rushed to the station , where ho hid his case before the detectives. A warrant for the arrest of the woman was Issued nnd an officer sent to her residence , there to bo informed that during the night she had gone to Council IllnfCi and would not return for many days. This Information bowed Mr. Burgess down with grief , and with a sad heart yesterday ho I : ft for his rural home , determined that In the future he will stick to the farm , leaving strange women alone. Colic Promptly Cured. A few days ago when I had an attack of colic In the bowels , I look a dose of Cham berlain's Colic , Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy , and within ten minutes all of my colic pains had disappeared. I am highly pleased with the remedy nnd take pleasure In recommending It. K. Bcarse , Chatham , Mass. 25 and CO cent bottles for sale by druggist : . MASHED A MASHER. J , 11. I'ntrlclc Thrii'ihcd for Insulting Women unit Then tlnci ! In Court. Sunday afternoon J. II , Patrick , a young clerk from South Omaha , came up to the city and at once concluded that he was something of a masher nnd thnt ho was Ir resistible. Starting out for a stroll on South Fifteenth street he Insulted each and every lady that ho met , until fclx had re- eentcd his Indecent proposals. Abnut this tlmo n strancer who had been watching the proceedings started out after Patrick and as the young man wns In the net of grabbing hold of the arm of another lady this stranger btruck him a blow In the face , sending him sprawling upon the sidewalk.

" riSliSIDHNT 1VKS SAYS W UT. Northern TiiclHc HonilliolilcrH Ailvixril Not to i : In 11 Hurry illiont ICcorKiinlz.itlon. NEW YORK , July 23. President Ives of the Northern Pacific Railroad company has Issued a circular letter to holders of the second , third and consolldatfd mortgage bonds. In which he calls attention to the letter Issued by the board of directors on March 1 , advising a general depo< of se curities with the Adamb-Fltzgorjld reor ganization committee , and remarks that sub sequent developments Justify the criticisms made thereon. He calls attention to the present Impracticability of the preparation of a satisfactory plan of reorganization , seeing that thcro Is no fit basis of reports of oarnlncs on which to rest a scheme. Wile ) ! the Adams committee have since enlarged the scope of their efforts , they do not appear to have met success , and are vigorously opposed by a strong committee of second mortgage bondholders. Nor have they fce- cured the co-operation of the Chicago & Northern Pacific committee , nor of the com mittee of any branch or leased lines , which altogether represent ? 571G3,001) ) of bonds. He claims that while. the Adams-Fitzgerald committee deny ' that they represent Mr. Vlllard , they do not nnd cannot deny that their committee was formed by men who have been for a long tlmo on intimate terms with Mr. Vlllard. He states there are listed on the stock exchange $177,519,000 bonds and ? 81G04,131 of stock of the Northern Pacific , all of which must nec essarily be more or less afJected by any re organization scheme , and of this amount the Adams-Fitzgerald committees has received deposits of but $11,594,000. It Is certain , therefore , ho claims , as any future event can be , that the committee as at present organ ized , and working on existing lines , cannot be a successful factor In reorganization , and no reason exists why any committee should ask for deposits of bonds without giving an outline of Its' reorganization plans. President Ives repeats his former recom mendation to bondholders to retain control of their bonds at present and confide them to a committee which Is able and willing to Indicate Its plans , and says no possible harm can come to bondholders by delaying action until such a commmlttcc Is found , which will be done In due time. ThoKO Klilu TripH CmHll'lners. . Considerable talk was Indulged In last week by Chicago roads that the Union Pa cific had agreed to give side trips to Shrlners visiting Denver , but after a full Investigation by the Western Passenger association the rumor was found to be entirely unwarranted , although the Santa Fo was considerably non plussed when the report was inaJe. liut a letter received by Chairman Caldwell - well of the Western Passenger association from General Passenger Agent Semplo of the Union Pacific , Denver li Gulf shows how closely certain western llne = i are united In controlling business In this direction. Mr. Semplo , In writing to Mr. Caldwell , says : "I am Just In receipt of a letter dated July 10 from Mr. George T. Nicholson , G. P. & T. A. , A. T. & . S. F. II. R. Co. , In which he advises Messrs. Lomax , Hooper and my- hclf ho Is In receipt of your circular letter No. 3.SOO , promulgating two letters from Mr. Lomax , dated July 3. Mr. Nicholson seems to think that action taken by Mr. Lomax In regard to Issuing a free side trip to Pueblo or Colorado Springs will cause a reduction In rates between Denver and these two points. The tickets that will bo Issued on tickets reading to Denver via the Union Pa cific system are special round trip form , sample of which I enclose herewith. The body of the ticket specifies that tickets will not bo honored for passage unless accom panied by original ticket , form nnd number nnd Issue all being given , and I am unable to Bee , with this arrangement , how any great amount of scalping can bo done. However - over , If Mr. Nicholson thinks ho would be Justified In making any rates he sees fit from Denver on account of these sldo trips being given by the Union Pacific company , this Is to give notice that this company will meet any rates made by the Atchlson , Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad company for meetings of Shrlnera nnd wheelmen without further advice - vice to your ofllce , " So effective was this letter that the Santa Fo people- decided to leave well enough alone , for their experience during the Knights Templar conclave In 1892 Is not forgotten , although they managed to control a great portion of the business.

Receiver Wilson of the Sarta Fo Enid today that a retrenchment plan , based on the reduction of wages paid engineers , firemen nnd conductors , would bo put Into effect In a few days.

The Uonrd of Health held a meeting yes terday afternoon and disposed of the serv ices of three of the sanitary Inspectors. Those dismissed were Inspectors Wyninn , Waborlch and Landergrcn. In order to get at the.grievous question of reducing the force of Inspectors because of lack of funds , Plumbing Inspector Duncan made a motion to dismiss the whole force , consisting of seven men. The motion prevailed , and then he moved to elect new Inspectors as sanitary police. The board then went Into executive session , and when It came out Secretary Savlllo announced tlmt Messrs. Taylor , Vnn- derford , Smith and Albrccht had been elected sanitary policemen , which places them In practically the same position as they formerly occupied. Clili'f Sfivey Introduced a series of reso lutions to govern the actions of these sani tary policemen. The men are to wear uni forms , wear their stars or badges on the outside of their ccats the same as regular officers , are to have special police powers , must not visit saloons when on duty unless they have special business In sucli places , must not drink intoxicants while on duty , nnd above all must not engage In or discuss politics In any manner or form. This has heretofore been considered a political Job , and all of the Inspectors have taken a moro or less active Interest In local politics. All these resolutions wcro adopted , hut before the question was called. Council man Uruner Indulged In a Kourth of July burst of oratory regarding the rights nnd freedom of American citizens , and even went so far back as the civil war to establish his claims as a free American citizen. He was of the decided opinion that the board had no right to Insist that the inspectors re frain from dabbling In politics , and thought such action was curtailing their rights .is citizens of this great republic. Mayor Deinls , Seavey , Savllle and McAndrews voted in favor of the passage of the resolutions , and Bruncr and Duncan In the negative. A resolutlln to establish additional gar bage dumps at the Intersections of Leaven- worth street and Poppleton avenue was read , but no action was taken.

The resolution by Councilman Howell that was passed by the city .council last Tuesday night looking toward a consdlldatlon of'the various governments in Douglas county was considered by the county commissioners at the meeting yesterday afternoon. Com missioner Paddock moved that the board signify Its concurrence In the action of the council and appoint the conference committee of three members of the board as contem plated by the resolution. Williams thought that such action would be premature , as the board had never dis cussed the matter , and suggested that the resolution lie over until another meeting In order to give the commissioners a chance to consider the proposition more minutely before appointing a ccmmlttee. This sug gestion was finally acted on , and the entire matter was referred until the next meeting. The bill of George Kingston ns deputy assessor In the Third ward was not approved , on the recommendation of Chairman Jen kins of the finance committee. Mr. Jenkins reported that ho had found that the gentle man In question was dead during a part of the time covered by the bill and sick In bed with consumption for the remainder. The judiciary committee presented n re port on the request of the register of deeds for an Increase In the salaries of the clerks in his office. The request wiis refused except In one Instance , where Miss Oliver was al lowed an Increase of $10 par month. County Treasurer Irey asked the board to make some small alterations In his ofilce , as there was not enough room for the amount of work to bo done , nnd the request was re ferred to the committee on court house and Jails.

This resolution cited the fact that owing to the lack of fire pressure the city had been visited by several disastrous fires during the year 1S93 and that the board had urged the city authorities to purchase and equip three steam flro engines at a cost of over $19,000. The city has a contract with the water works company to furnish ample fire protec tion within n radius of 1,000 feet from every hydrant. This city pays n rental of $81.000 per year to the water works company for this purpose , anil now It Is alleged that this contract has been broken by the water works company , consequently It Is liable for the extra expense to the city for fire protection. The resolution was adopted nnd n copy or dered sent to the mayor , city attorney nnd city council. In speaking of the resolution , Commissioner Strlckler said that he believed thnt the water works company should be made to stand the expenses for the three steamers , for If the company had provided ample fire pro tection , ns Is stipulated In the contract with the city , there would have boon no need of purchasing the steamers. He also said that If the commissioners had not been compelled to buy the Btcjmcrs they would have had ample funds to pay the firemen this year Instead of being compelled to cut their pay for the remainder of the ye.ir. He said fur ther , that he had figures from the city engin eer nnd others showing ( hat the whole Omaha water works system could be dupll- cnttd for nbout $2,000.000 , nnd the Interest on this amount would be less than the city Is now paying for hydrant rental , while every family In the city , with city owner ship of wnter works , could be furnished with water free of cost at the amount they are now paying for fire protection. D'etectlve Hudson was granted ten days leave of absence. Ex-Court Officer Walker sent n letter to the board demanding thnt It turn over to him all the papers which It has regarding him. The board presumed thnt he meant certain evidence which they had In their possession , upon which his dl&mlssnl from the force was based , and they refused to do ns requested. On motion of Commissioner .Jlnrtmnn the board adjourned for two weeks , not now having any Important business ready for con > slderation. o ENTERTAINED THE DELEGATES.
