General Master Workman Jnmcs II. 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.

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. " Alter u chat around
the hotel the visitors called upon same of
the local assemblies that were holding meet
ings U t night and wcro Introduced to a
number of the Omaha knights. They will
take up the regular business again this
inornlin ; .

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 ,

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. Patrick
wanted to show fight after he hud gained hs !
feet and wiped nwny the blood which flowed
from tils nose , but n policeman came along
nnd carted him nwny lo Jail , uhure he spent
the night In the coll.
Yesterday when the case , was called
Patrick afilrmcd thnt thcro was but one lady
who wns assaulted and thnt he bad mistaken
her for a friend. The proof was against the
young man and upon conviction ho was fined
$50 and the costs.

In the order of tlio circuit court of the
eighth district , sitting In chamber last week
at St. Paul , Judges \Vnltcr II. Sunburn and
Klmcr S. Dumly on the bench , and just
handed dowu , provision Is nmdc ( or the con-
tinuaneo of the operation on the part of the
receivers of the > Union Pacific of the Sallna
& Soulliwestern railway , the Kansas City &
Omaha railway , the Colorado & Pacific rail
road , the Atchlson , Jewell county and West
ern railroad and the Kansas Central railroad
until the decision by the court of the mat
ters relative to the operation of these rail
roads , set for hearing on November 16 , may
be de crmlned.
The order also Includes ths continued oper
ation of the Carbon Cut-Off railway and the
Omnh & Republican Valley railway as out
lined In an Interview with Receiver K. Ci
lery Anderson and published exclusively In
The Lee of Friday last.
As to the order regarding the discontinu
ance of operation of the Denver , Leadvlllo &
Qunnlson railway , the court says : "It ap
pears to the satisfaction of this court that
the operation of the railroad of the Denver ,
Leadvllle & Qunnlson Hallway company In
volves an expenditure far greater than the
revenue which can be derived therefrom , and
that It Is not expedient or advantageous to
the trust confided to the receivers herein
that the operation of said railroad should
be further continued , and
"It Is therefore ordered that the said re
ceivers are hereby authorized and directed
to deliver and surrender all the property In
their hands of or belonging to the said Den-
ven , Leadvllle & Gunnlson Hallway company
to the American Loan and Trust company ,
the trustee of the mortgage of August 1 ,
1SS9 , executed by the Denver , Leadvllle &
Gunnlson Hallway company , or to any re
ceiver or receivers appointed under any bill
which may be filed for the foreclosure of
the said mortgage , and If no such bill be
filed , and the said trustees decline lo ac
cept the surrender and transfer of the said
property , then such surrender be made to
tlia executive officers of the said railway
company. This surrender and delivery shall
be made on or before the 7th day of August ,
1SD1 , and the said receivers arc completely
relieved and discharged from all responsibil
ity with respect to the said railway and from
all Its property , and from any liability or
obligations ns such receivers to pay or dis
charge any obligations for pay rolls , wages ,
supply bills or materials , or amounts due to
Individuals or corporations pertaining to the
operation of the said railroad and accruing
or to accrue from and after the 7ih day of

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&lt 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.

TOP15KA , July 23. 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 order of
United States District Judge Foster , Issued
Saturday , gives the receivers six months'
time In which to examine existing contracts
and determine whether or not the company
should cancel or change any contracts that
ulll permit changes. "Tho receivers , " Bald
Mr. Wilson , "will toke advantage of this
ordtr by giving the required notice of thirty
days to their engineers , firemen and con-
ductorn , on the presumption that new con
tracts can now ba mode on a basis more
favorable to the railroad company. "

BOAUD OF HEALTH.
Three Inspector * Dl inlmed Others Itc-
tnlni-il lit Toilet ! Under .Strict Itnlox.
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.
The county clerk was. directed to adver
tise for bids for the construction of n wooden
bridge ninety feet long over the Llttlo Pap-
plo , south of Irvlngton , nnd the board ad
journed until Saturday at 2 p. m.

VIOIATION OF CONTRACT IS ALLEGED

Thouuh btlimhitoit lfor.
At the meeting of the Board of Fire nnd
Police Commissioners last night Commis
sioner Strlckler Introduced a resolution re
questing the city council to Instruct the city
attorney to besln suit against , the water
works company to recover $19,081.20 , which
has been expended by the city In attempting
to provide nmide fire protection for the
business and residence portions of the city.
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.

You know thnt In a small dining room
every Inch of floor space Is valuable. Yet It
Is possible with clever furniture to make a
small room look actually large.
The sideboard Is the first pleco to decide.
Wo have seen many Ingenious arrangements
for a small side-board , but never have we
beheld a better pattern than the one hero
shown. It Is absolutely unique , and It takes
almost no space from the room.
Hero are three largo drawers , ono of
which la lined for small silver. The sldo
closets are fitted with shelves. The top Is 50
Inches In width , having a recessed center
section , with Inckscd deml-top , which U
very decorative.
Thcro U a three foot bevelled mlrror.fiank-
ed on either sldo with antique carved posts.
H Is a beautiful model , very commodious
and not at all expensive.
