Governor Crotinse last evening ordered Ad jutant General Gage of the Nebraska Na- tlonal Otiarda to report at South Omalm at opco. Tills Is not taken to mean that the inllltla or any portion of It Is to bo ordered to that city tinlefs , In the opinion of the adjutant general , the uln.itlon seems to dc- Wnd It. H Is reported that General Gagij . Will thoroughly pont himself with respect to the tetnpor of the striking packing house Jncn and give the governor his advlco as 16 the nccewdty of placing state troops there. The packing house managers appear to anticipate trouble. The notices served by them yesterday afternoon on Sheriff Drexel that'they would expect the county to pro- lect their property during the strike were mipplcmenlixl by numerous appeals by tele phone and otherwise during the afternoon , ffho manager of the Omaha Packing company seemed to bo much perturbed and kept the deputies In the sheriff's olllce busy an- cwcrlng Ills appeals by telephone for assist ance. About the middle of the afternoon the Omaha Packing company wired Chair man Stonberg of the Heard of County Com- .tnlssloncrs as follows : "Wo are without adequate protection for our men and property and wish to lay the inattcr before your board Immediately. Can you call a special meeting of your b ard at tlm Mlllard hotel at 8 o'clock this evening to tncot the South Omaha packers ? " NO CAUSE FOIl ALARM. At 4 o'clock Commissioners Ltvcsoy and .Williams . , with Sheriff Drexel , Deputy Uosen- \velg and Judge Scott , held a sosshn in the committee room to discuss the question. 'Judgo Scott stated that the manager of the Cudahy plant had been to see him In regard to the matter and had asked that twenty- . five deputies be sent down to protect prop erty. It was the cencral opinion that such notion would not be advisable. Sherllf Drexel Bald that he had been down to South Omaha All day and had seen no Indication of trou ble. There were no strikers on tlie streets , and those who were seen had declared that I * 'they would be the first to suppress nny- jjV thing that Icokcd l.ke violence. " ' Both Llvesey and Williams thought that if the Bonding of armed men down there to I preserve the peace would bo likely to produce - | ' duce the opposite , and It was decided that nothing should bo done unless matters grew moro serious than at present. Sheriff Drexel . , was advised to keep track of the situation | , ; and left for South Omaha directly after the It meeting. Acting on the slier ff's report , It | i was decided that there was nothing to bo | F gained by the meeting at the Mlllard hotel requested by the Omaha Packing company , and It seemed to be the general opinion that the company was crying before It was hurt. The situation last night was quiet. So far the strikers have not molested any of the workmen , and they say they do not Intend It1 to do so. They held meetings In a number of I' ' places last evening and Insisted that no vl- Dlcnco should bo offered. In the afternoon committees were ap pointed to go to Chicago. St. Louis , and Kansas City to ascertain the exact situation Of the men there. This committee will rc- Port to the union hero tomorrow by tcle- firaph. 1 The managers are now seeking for men to take the places of the strikers , and It Is .understood that they have secured a num ber In Scuth Omaha. It Is also known thr.t they have sent to Chicago and other cities for men. Lost night the police were active. When- .evcr a bunch of the strikers would got to- 'Bether and begin to discuss the situation they would be dispersed. The men have so far done very little drinking. The mn In the hide cellar at Cudahy's nnd In the box factory at Hammond's went r [ out last evening. MOUE MEN GO OUT. The situation In South Omaha yester day was comparatively quiet , although more of the men quit work. At 8:30 : o'clock the tlorco men at Swift's walked out. They wore met on the platform by Manager Fos ter , who talked with them for a few minutes. Ho asked the men what wages they were getting , and they iald $1.73 a day. "Isn't that all your scale calls for ? " asked Mr. Fos ter , nnd the men admitted that It was. He talked a little longer and assured the men ho would pay as much as the Chicago , houses wore paying , and finally Induced the gang to go back to work. Thcro was a crowd of strikers out on the railroad tracks watching the fellows , and when they started to go back , all the men on the outsldu began to cry out "scab. " A little later the same tierce gang went out In a body , and hur riedly left the plant. At Hammond's the cellar gang went out after working an hour in the morning. The beef luggers and smoke house gang worked until noon and then walked out. The first of the striking hog butchers to return to work was at the Hammond plant , when two of them went back yesterday. At the Omaha house cevrythlng was as quiet as a graveyard. None of the gangs at work , and the only persons visible about the place were a few special policemen , who , were strolling around the plant. "Somo of the men are misled. " said Mr. Cudahy yesterday , "In regard to there being any trouble In Chicago and Kansas City. So far as I can learn there Is no trouble with the men In cither place. I would like very much to have the old men come back , but of course If they will not we cannot help It. You can say In The Dee that the Cudahy plant will bo running full force by Monday next. If the old men don't agree to come baclt wo will have to got men to take their places , that Is all there Is to It. Wo are killing 1,000 hogs nnd SOO cattle today. " At Hammond's and Swift's a few cattle and hogs were also killed. ' The hog market In South Omaha has been decidedly low for several days and It Is breaking the hearts of the killers to see all thcso cheap hogs being shipped tu Chicago and the east. Some of the houses have ex tensive contracts on hand also , which will compel them to begin running n full force In the very near future. The strikers know this and hayo hopes of winning their joints for that reason , but It la now a settled fact that , the managers have made all the concessions , they prpposo to and after Monday will give . employment to men who are willing to work regardless 6f any of the old forces. PLANNING FOR NBW MEN. The p cUcrs have already begun to make ' nrraiiijqmciito to take care of their men In case new' ones have to be put to work. All of them who wish to sleep In the plant Will be supplied with cots and their meals Ivwlll I- be .served. | n the building. This will 'pDVlnto any awaults and there will bo a rjulllcleiit number of specials put to work to protect the property In case any one becomes ji quarrelsome.t t far , however , It must be laid to the credit of the men who walked OUt , that they have conducted themselves very orderly and with one or two exceptions there has not even been an arrest made for , ' Acting Mayor Conley , who has charge of Ihe hog UIIIliiK department at Cudahy's , has teen about the busiest nun In town for the laet tliroo days. Ilo Is so crowded With business that yesterday ho sent a telegram to Mayor Johnston asking him to coins homo at once. The mayor and Ills wlfo are enjoying a vucxtlon at Garlleld ben'tti , Salt Lako. Ten thousand hogs nnd a thousand cattle vcrc received at the yards yesterday. Some if , | ha kll.era gave notice to the commis sion men that they would continue. In the tnnrket. This looks as though they either anticipated a compromise with the men Or Intended pittf ) > ig on a new force , Pollen IMil Not Tup the Ulrr . NBW YORK. Aug. 3.

U. men charged with mur der and train wrecking was the strongest that the prosecution has put In during the present week. Mrs. Van Duscn , keeper o ( n railroad boarding house In Sacramento , at which Engineer Sam Clark boarded , testified that on the morning of the wreck she asked Mr. Nelll , an A. R. U. boarder , If there really was any danger to any one going out on a train that morn ing. She told Nelll she was anxious about Clark. In answer to a question , she told Nelll she would see Clark again and Nelll said : "Whoever goes out on that engine will never reach Davlsvllle. Warn him In my name not to go ; If he goes you will never sec him again. " Mm. Van Duncn saw Clark and pleaded with him not to go. He was obdurate , however - over , and was one of the five men who met denth at the trestle. Another wltnees testified that ho met the prisoner Worden near the trestle Just after the wreck and rode to Sacramento with him. A. U. U. IN CONVENTION. President Ilubi 1'rcnlcl.nic O or an Assembly of III * Order. CHICAGO , Aug. 2. President Debs pre sided over the American Railway union con vention which met here today. The neigh borhood of the hall was thronged with men , mostly workmen , who were deeply Interested In the meeting , but many of them were not delegates to the convention. The meeting began behind closed doors , and President Debs said before going In that the session would probably continue In secret , although Home were In favor of admitting the public Vlco President Howard entered the con vention hall just before the meeting came to order. Ho said that It was Impossible to tell what matters might come before the delegates. The strike and boycott would , lie said , of course be the main subjects con sidered. There were about 230 delegates present , representing 512 unions. A canvass of those present apparently showed that a majority favored declaring the Pullman boycott off and It was thought probable that such action would be taken. President Debs refused to express his views , but It was stated that ho would not oppo&u the convention If It desired to give up the fight. PUI.I.MAN wemivs OIMXII : > . Two Hundred und Fifty Men Co Uncle tu Wcirlc Nw Violence. CHICAGO , Aug. 2. The Pullman works were started today quietly and without demonstration on the part of the ex-em ployes. But 2SO men reported for work , al though the company expected 800. About 1,000 strikers gathered about the buildings and good naturcdly chaffed the returning workmen , but no attempt at violence was made. A heavy detail of police was on hand , and remained at the works all day on guard. Striken I.ino Their Jnbs. TACOMA , Wash. , Aug. 2. A Roslyn special to the Telegram says : The miners and drivers In the employ of the Northern Pacific Coal company who went out May 1 on account of a proposed reduction of 20 per cent have learned that they will not bo taken back , though they decided to re turn to work on the company's terms. Gen eral Manager Kangley said arrangements for securing a new force had progressed too far to cancel them now. The now force of negroes is expected here within ten days. Probably 300 men here will bo obliged to seek employment elsewhere. Many are destitute. Strlkcm ciot Off ICaHy. DENVER , Aug. 2. In the United States district court this afternoon seven Grand Junction railroad men were convicted by a jury of retarding the malls by refusing to handle trains In which were Pullman cars. Judge Hallct fined them $10 and costs each. His leniency surprised the A. R. U. men who had watched the trial closely. A large num ber of Trinidad strikers will now be tried. IliiKlncBS Mon llofrlenit Strikers. ST. LOUIS. Aug. 2. Mayor Stephens of East St. Louis , at tfie request of the business men's meeting which was held several days ago , has addressed a l2tter to the managers of the various railroads which center in East St. Louis , asking them to take back their old employes who lost their positions during the strike. Omulm yiinji * Open fop Work. ST. PAUL , Aug. 2. The Omaha car shops opened for work today with elghty-fivj men and will boon have a full force at work. All the A. R.

Mr. ilulniflou'ii Aililrenit Selections by SiveilUh Hinging Club. John M. Thtirslon was to have addressed the members of the Hamilton club at Patter- Ron's hall last evening and a largo attend ance was the result of the announcement ; but a pressing call from the west made It necessary for him to leave the city at the last moment. The club was called to order by T. W. Blackburn and In the absence of the regular officers , Judge Stenberg presided. W. A , Foster , who had been made temporary secretary , rend the following extract from a letter from John M .Thurston : "Our country Is passing through the most serious crisis which has been experienced since the war of the rebellion nnd It Is a tlmo In which all patriotic , thoughtful and law-abiding citizens should consult together for the purpose of ascertaining tlio best way to preserve our Institutions , renew our prosperity and promote the Interests of the great masses of laboring men who are now suffering from the democratic policy and procrastination. " In the absence of the speaker of the even ing Mr. Johnson addressed the members of the club , giving an eloquent and vivid recital of the condition of the country under the present democratic administration. Mr. Johnson called attention to the flat tering promises made In the democratic platform In 1S92 and alluded to the fact that the laboring men had been deceived by these plcdees Into elevating the democratic party Into power. Since the success of the demo cratic party In 1892 scores of railroads had been thrown Into the hands of receivers , busi ness houses had been closed In every city , town and village In the country , thousands of banks had been closed , thousands of manu facturing establishments had been closed and hundreds of thousands of laboring men thrown out of employment , and oven with this distressing condition of affairs the labor ing men weio wondering what was to como next. The laboring men who rolled up the 10,000 democratic majority In Chicago and the Immense majorities for Cleveland In New York , Boston and other largo cities were largely to blame for the present condition of Industry In the United Slates. In the democratic platform of 1892 were two planks , either one of which was suffi ciently pernicious to produce the present condition of affairs In this country. Ono was the plank promising the Immediate repeal of the law Imposing a 10 per cent tax on state bank notes. The repeal of this tax would have permitted forty-four states to overwhelm the country with a flood of wild cat currency. That plank alone had a tend ency to caUFo banks nnd manufacturing In stitutions to hesitate. The other plank de clared n protective tariff to be uncon stitutional. It was this plank that compelled business Interests all over the country to stop and think. The democratic party , false to the country , had been equally false to Itbclf. Its pledges , pernicious as they were , had not been ful filled. The McKlnley law , which the demo crats had denounced as unconstitutional , was still on the statute books and the Aldrlch report , signed by two democratic senators , established the fact that wages had Increased and prices of the manufactured product had decreased under that law. Mr. Johnson be lieved that If the McKlnley law had not been threatened by a democratic president and a democratic congress the country would be more prosperous today , more mines would be In operation , railroads would bo In a better condition , banks would not bo breakIng - Ing and mercantile establishments would not bo closing In every city In the United States. If the democratic congress would go home and stay there business would at once brighten and the dark clouds which obscured Industrial activity would roll away and pros perity again return. He believed It was the duty of the Hamilton club to make every effort between now and the November elections to convince the laboring men of Omaha that they could not hope to bo pros perous so long as they voted for free trade or for lower tariffs. Mr. Fisher of the Ninth ward delivered a five-minute speech which proved a veritable entertainment and In conclusion he gave a rendition of Congressman Bryan's last speech on the sliver question In Exposition hall. Mr. Fisher happens to be deaf and all ho could hear of Bryan's fiery eloquence was a confused Jumble which resembled a mon otonous recital of the alphabet. And then Mr. Fisher convulsed the audience by re producing with startling accuracy , the voice , gestures and oratorical flight of the Nebraska congressman. Mr. White gave some excellent reasons for the republicanism that was. In him. One of his auditors endeavored to draw him Into a discussion of railroad Interference In politics , but he extricated himself so neatly that the audience approved and applauded. The Swedish Singing society rendered several selections with the manifest approval of the audience and T. W. Blackburn told a funny story. J. II. Kyner closed the even ing with a speech In which he ascribed the business stagnation to the accession of the democratic party to power. Not only was business buspended , but nature herself was In revolt. Fires were destroying the cities and forcbts of Minnesota and Wisconsin , water was destroying homes and farms In Oregon , earthquakes were knocking things to the devil and gene In California and hero In Nebraska even the rain refused to fall. Klected OHIrcrx. The Eighth Ward Republican club held a rousing meeting at the corner of. Twenty- second and Cumlng streets last night and elected officers for tho.ensuing year. This Is one of the wards which have been redlstrlcted and there was quite a friendly contest between the districts In the .election of officers. Messrs. J. W. Pumas , U. 'If. Bulcomho nnd Dr. S. K. Spauldlng were nominated for the office of president and It required five ballots to settle the majority. Dr. Spauldliig''was the successful candidate , the contest having narrowed down to him and Balcombo after the fourth ballot , as Furnas , who was slowly losing , withdrew , U. B. Balcombe was elected first vlee presi dent and .Thomas S. Crocker , second vice president. James Allen was elected secretary by acclamation , as was George R , Rathburn to the otllco of treasurer. The newly elected president-took the ohalr and thanked the members of the club for his election. Ho announced that , he > v'ould name the different committees at. the next regular meeting. U was decided that all candidates for dele gates to the county convention thin month shall file petitions and tlio motion to not hold a caucus was almost unanimously 'car ried. After transacting the regular business of the session short speeches were made by several of the members , ' Tired , Wcnlc , Nervous Means Impure blood , and overwork or too much strain on brain and body , The only way to cure ls to feed tli'j nerves on pure blood.

"In 1889 President Harrlbon alllrmcd Lin coln's order and abolished military Inspection on Sunday. Then students were ordered to observe the Sabbath In military schools , and the same rule applied to prisoners working In government prisons. "Mnjor Worth's order was clearly In violation lation of section 241 of the statutes and he Is liable to prosecution under civil proc ss for violating laws of Nebraska. This ride range Is on private property subject to state laws , and I have shown that Major Worth gave the orders to conclude target practice on Sunday In order that he might Join a huntIng - Ing party bound for Wyoming that evening. This matter will now have a complete Inves tigation , and as Wortii pursued Cedarqtilst with vlndlctlvencss he will have to suffer for these violations hlmielf. " To t'k'iinio the System.

FUNEBAL OF WILL WAKELEY. To Ho Held Tomorrow Afternoon City Ofllcrrx Will Attend. The body of City Clerk Wakeley was brought from Council Bluffs yesterday mornIng - Ing to this city and taken to the family residence , C07 North Nineteenth street , where the funeral will bo held at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Interment at Forest Lawn. The city council held an Informal session In the city clerk's office yesterday after noon to take action In regard to attending the funeral. President Howcll and Coun cilman Calm , who had Just * returned from the Wakeley residence , stated that It was the wish of the faintly that as little display as possible be made on the occasion , and In deference to their wishes no badges will be worn. The council will simply attend In a body and present Its tribute of esteem In the shape of a floral offering , which will simply bear the words , "Our Clerk. " Presi dent Howell and Councllmen Burkley , Wheeler , Saunders and Calm were appointed as a committee to attend to the provision of flowers and carriages , and the deputy clerk was directed to Invite all heads of city departments to go with the council to the funeral. The carriages will leave the city hall at 2:40 : sharp tomorrow afternoon. The vacancy In the office of city clerk will resurrect the fight that accompanied the expressed Intention of Councilman El- sasscr to resign some time ago. According to section 1C of the charter the mayor and council have the power to fill all vacancies In the council , and other elective offices of the city. The manner In which this shall be accomplished Is not detailed In the char ter , but Is left to be fixed by ordinance. At the time when the question of filling Mr. Elsasscr's shoes was under considera tion City Attorney Council drew up an or dinance which provided that the office should bo filled by appointment of the mayor with the approval of the council. Thin ordinance was referred to the Judiciary committee , who refused to recommend It for passage , taking the ground that the council had the power to fill the vacancy without consult ing the mayor. The consequence was that no ordinance was passed , and Klsasser finally concluding to retain his seat , the matter was dropped. The 'democratic councllmen state that they will repeat the same tactics on this occasion. Their plan -as It now stands Is to pass the ordinance providing for the appointment as required by the charter , and then defeat any appointment which the mayor may make. They claim that they have ten votes , In cluding Hascall , who will vote solidly to gether , and In this manner they oxpsct to retain the present personnel of the office. They expect that Deputy Clerk Evans , who Is no\V acting city clerk , will continue to perform the duties of the office until a suc cessor to Mr. Wakeley Is appointed and con firmed , and according to tholr program , this will not occur during the present adminis tration.
