This afternoon the republicans of Douglas oounty will get togotlier In their first con.cst ior supremacy nt the November election. They will assemble at their primaries , .vhoro they will select the delegates 10 the state convention , which con venes In Ihls city next Wednesday , August 22 , athlch time and place a stutu ticket will be placed In nomination. At these jaino primaries they will nlso select delegates to the congressional convention , which con venes In this city next Saturday , August IS. In each of these conventions each ward In the city of Omaha will bu entitled to nine dele gates , with twenty-seven ( rom South Omaha and the country precincts , making a total of 108 delegates to which Douglas county will lie entitled. The primaries to be held today will open nt'i \ o'clock , noon , and will close at 7 o'clock In the evening. At each of these thcro will bu elected two sets of delegates , OHO set for the state and the other for the congresnlonal convention. The voting at the primaries will be In strict accordance with the provisions of the Australian election law , being conducted by the judges and clerks of election , appointed for this particu lar purpose. In Omaha the primaries will be held at the following places , all of which have been designated by the republican county central committee : First Ward Eleventh and Pierce streets. Second Ward Sixteenth and Williams streets. Third Ward 101 South Twelfth strc.t. Fourth Ward Patterson hall , Seventeenth and Farnam streets. Fifth Ward Eighteenth and Lake streets Sixth Ward Twcnty-elxth and Lake streets. Seventh Ward 1212 Park avenue. Eighth Ward 2203 CumliiR street. Ninth Ward Twenty-ninth and Farnam streets. In most of the wards the republicans have held their caucuses and agreed upon delegates who are satisfactory to ( julte , If not all of the voters. There Is but little Interest being mani fested In the congressional convention , the whole proceeding being considered a mere matter of form. The real fight , however , comes In the selection of the delegates to the state convention , where the state officers are to be nominated. CITY IS FOR M'COLL. It Is conceded that the city Is almost unani mously In favor of Jack MacColl for governor , but some of the Tom Majors' workers and heelers , noting the landslide from their champion , have been Industriously pulling every string to get their men Into the dele gations for the purpose of creating discord and dissatisfaction , with a view to breaking up the delegation In.the state convention. In the First ward there Is something of a tempest In n teapot and a few of the dis gruntled fellows are making a fight on Charles S. Elgutter and John lloslcky , two of the regular caucus nominees , by trying to substitute In their places John Plerson and Henry Uowman. Down In the Second ward Oeorgo B. Stryker , who resides at the county poor farm and In the Seventh ward , together with Israel Frank , a city employe , anil four or flvo other ward heelers , Is turning the heavens and the earth to try to defeat the regular caucus nominees. These fellows have distributed and sent out a most llbelous circular In which they malign and abuse the caucus nominees In a most outrageous man ner. It Is having but little effect , however , as HID voters of the ward are wcjl acquainted With the delegates selected by the caucus and they are generally satisfactory. This man Frank was a candidate for the position of delegate , but when the count of the vote was completed he discovered thai ho was without even a corporal's guard , and nursing his hatred he went out and secured a place on the ticket by petition. Frank Is an Inspector , working under directions of the Board of Health , and when that department of the city government learned that ho was neglecting his business to dabble In the very slums of politics the members protested In the strongest terms , Informing Sir. Frank that It would be well to attend to his work and let politics alono. Frank Is said to have ' replied that ho put his name on the ticket and that It would stay there until the votes were counted and that he did not give a blank who objected to what ho had been doing In the premises , maintaining that the matter was something that did not concern the board , so long as the members of the city council did not object. In the Third ward there Is a factional fight , but both of the tickets which are In the field are headed for Jack MacColl. In this ward thcro was no caucus , all of the delegates go ing on the ticket by petition. Out In the Fourth , Fifth , Sixth and Seventh wards there Is no opposition to the caucus ' The Eighth waulers failed to hold a caucus and there- are two sets of delegates , one set pledged to MacColl and the others claim to bo unpledged , but a , jnajorlty are known to bo for Majors. IN THE I1LOODY NINTH. Thcro are two tickets In the Held In the Ninth ward , one selected at the caucus last Friday and the other selected by a large number of republicans who claim that It Is tlmo to turn down some of the professional politicians and perslbtml olllce seekers and redeem the ward machinery from bosslsm. The fight Is hot and well organized on both bides , but the promoters of the. petition ticket say that If they can have the eentl- mcnt of the ward polled they will win In splto of the machine. The following "ap peal to the republican voters of the Ninth ward" has been very generally circulated : Fellow Republicans : Ucllcvlng that the best Clements ot the republican parly In the Ninth ward should assert themselves In the man agement Of the party's affairs and should control , EO far as possible , the ward nomina tions , wo appeal to our fellow partisans to turn cut en masse at the primaries next Fri day and sluw professional politicians that they can no longer run the politics of the Ninth ward for th lr own benefit to the disgust nd practical dlsfraiichlsomeiit of reputable republican citizens. Ilclluvlng further that a combination has been made between the professional rustlers and tliclr satellites to control the action of ' Ninth ward republicans at all the political conventions to be held this fall and to run them solely for the benefit of the combine , we ask republican voters to assist us In defeating their purpose. Wo have no political axes to grind and no political ambitions to batlsfy. We are In terested solely In redeeming the Ninth ward from the rllig rule of past years. Wo believe the combine proposes to de termine In advance of thu county and c'.ty conventions who shall be named for the several public ofilces which may fall to the Ninth ward and to force upon the people men In whom their fellow citizens have no confidence. In view ot these general facts and others equally prejudicial to good government wo h&vo no hesitancy In denouncing the schema and the schemers and we appeal to every good republican to help us to restore the uutraiimeled , unpurchaeablo and unselfish electors to the power which their Indiffer ence has permitted to pass from their bauds. ( Wo recognize the respectability ot some of I the gentlemen who \\ore nominated at the caucus and regret that wo ( eel It nccessiry to oppose them because of the Influence which placed them upon the ticket. Therefore we ask every voter In the republican - publican party ot the Ninth ward to coma out Friday , August 17 , from 12 o'clock until 7 p. m. , and vote against the combine which we bellcvo In prejudicial to the Interest of the republican * of the ward , and we aslt thrm to vote for the following J. II. MacColl delegation to the county convention for the election of delegates to the state conven tion : Henry F. Cady. J. P. Flnley. P. K. Floman. E , Henderson \ , C. D. Hutchlu- son , E. Q. McQIlton , M. L. Sheerar , W. 0. Temple ton , F , II. Tiffany , And to vote alia ( or the following D.

Jacobson , George Mercer , W. H. HUB- sell , A. II. Sotners , Ilobert Stein. We regard It Important to elect these dele gates , every man of them , at this time , be cause If the combine Is unhorsed now , vic tory In county and city affairs will be as sured and comparatively cany , whereas If It wins In this cantcst It will be more arrogant than ever when the time comes to send delegates lo the county and city conventions for nominating county and municipal officers.- LIST OF DELEGATES.

OMAHA , Aug. 1C. To the Editor ot The Bee : Out here In the Ninth ward we re publicans think it Is time to throw off the yoke of the three Charlies Charlie Unlit , Charlie Johnson and Charlie Djurcen. The first-named Charlie has made his living out of politics long enough. The second Charlie will not do for city councilman and was re pudiated two years ago. Wo do not want the alternative of voting lor him nr a demo crat presented to us again. The third Charlie has long since paid for his janltorshlp in the public schools by political rustling and should go on the retired list. As an evi dence of this revolt against the Unltt crowd a large number of icpubllcans hitherto more or less Inactive In ward politics have pre sented petition tickets for the btatc and con gressional county conventions mode up of representative republicans with no political axes to grind. They are for MacColl for governor and Mercer for congressman , hence ovpiy MaeColl and Mercer man can , vote for them and bo Mire they will stand by his favorites. H leaves the Issue entirely clear as between the gang and the better clement , with no disturbing contingencies to direct the fight into other channels. Now the Unltt combine Is In this contest as In every other contest to advance selfish Interests. Charlie Unltt wants to go to the state sen ate. Phil Winter wants to be county attor ney. John Lev. la wants to go to the legis lature and Charlie Johnson has been aching for years to warm a seat In the city council. Beach High ) ' Is with the crowd also , hoping the Ninth ward delegation will press him for city clerk. The pttltlon candidates are In this fight solely to restore the control ot Die party affairs to the better element and It Is to bo hoped every republican In the ward who sympathizes with the purposes repre sented by the petition tickets will not only vote at the primaries between 12 o'clock and 7 p. m. Friday , but will see his neighbor and have him- vote also. Thu best clement , the business men and property owners of the ward can win If they will turn oui and do Ihelr duty. duty.A A NINTH WARD REPUBLICAN. HcpulilliMiu Itfccptlon Cumntttteo.

ROBERTSON , Secretary. lo a on Major * . A colored , voter of the Eighth ward soys that the Majors ticket will get very few colored votes at today's primaries. He re called one of Majors' speeches , delivered In the ward when Majors WUH running against Dr. Bear for lieutenant gjvcrnor. The ob jectionable feature of the address was Ma jors' disrespectful allusion to the colored race. Ho said ; "Yes , I liavo a Bear after met , and there Is a nigger utter the bear , but I ihull not bo found running from such an aggregation ! ' ' The colored mm who heard this remark Indignantly resented It 'at the time , and 11 Is said they have not forgotten It. Ailitro.VUK 1'iinlponed , Owing to the extreme heat and a small audience In consequence the meeting of the Hamilton club at Patterson hall last even ing was adjourned until the first Thursday evening In September.

I STRIKE IS DECLARED OFF All Organizations Exoapt Beef Bntchora Do- cdo ! to Giro Up the Contest , DECISION WAS REACHED LAST NIGHT Action Anticipated by Hop llutrlirm mid Cooper * flimico of Ucttlni ; Duck to Work Sentiment of the Tuckers . -.Mllltlu Still on Oimril. A general meeting of all union packing liouto employes of South Omaha was held nt the big hall , corner of Twentieth and Q streets , last night , behind locked doors. The attendance was large. II Is esllmated that there were l.COO men In the building. The meeting was called for the purpose of a gen eral discussion of the strike by all workingmen - men who were Interested. In the strike. Several of the men were present who liavo already gone lo work and there was no effort made to bar them nt the door. The meeting was supposed to bo conducted under the auspices of the American Federation ot La bor. This association comprises members of nearly all of the unions In the city , at least It reaches nil of the workmen who are cm- ployed In the packing houses. Speakers went down from Omaha to ad dress the meeting. When the motion was put to declare the strike oft It carried by a largo majority. BEEF BUTCHERS HELD OUT. The beef butchers will not give In , how ever , and say they will remain out until they get what they have asked for ; thai Is , 43 cents an hour Instead of 40. "We did not nsk the men In the other departments to go oul with us , " said one of the beef butchers , "and all of them who want to go bock can do so. The majority of our men will stay out until the packers grant our re quests. " This ends the strike respecting all the men concerned except Ihe beef butchers , and some of these have already accepted their old places , enough of them , so the packers say , to carry on the present business with out sending away for additional help. PACKERS FAVORABLE TO OLD MEN. This strike was Inaugurated a little over two weeks ago and appeared to bs n failure from the very beginning from the fact that the packers were paying the same wages as Chicago houses. The beef butchsrs who were getting 40 cents nn hour struck for 45 cents and the rest of the men struck principally through sympathy. At one time there were about 1,800 men out and now only a few hundred. All those who have gone to work and who will do so from now on return at Ihe same wages Ihoy were gelling when Ihey walked out. Secretary Flood of the executive committee received a telegram yesterday from Charles Green , secretary of the Beef Dulchers' union al Chicago , which read as follows : "We received a telegram from St. Louis this evening stating that the men ore all back. Boys fell sore over II and wanted to lake action on our case at once , and we voted and two-thirds carried to go back to work tomorrow. Answer. " The message was dated August 15. Secre tary Flood was asked what the committee pro posed to do. He replied that nothing would bo done until It was learned for certain that the message was not a bogus one. There Is no question about the message being correct. The hog butchers and union coopers met yesterday nnd decided to declare the s'rlke oft so far as they were concerned. They will return to work this morning , that Is , all of them who can gel back. None of the coopers will lose their Jobs. There are only a few exceptions among the hog butchers who cannot get back. Manager Foster at Swift's said thai If the beef butchers came back before they got to gating in plenty of beeves they would be employed. Olherwlso men would bo put ; In their places. "I have not at any tlmo during this trouble encouraged workmen from out side to como here and take the places ot our old men. On the other hand I have discouraged a largo number who would have otherwise been here and perhaps found work. Wo prefer to liavo the old men and will give every one of them work that wo can use. The new men who were put on will not bo discharged , however , to give the old men a Job. " Managar Cudahy said that about CO per cent of his original force was back and lhal Ihe others would bo received Inlo Hie fold as fasl as Ihere was anything for them to do. Manager Noyes of the Hammond company estimated that about 25 per cent of his old men had lost Ihelr places through the strike. He says he held off from hiring new men as long as he could and would now take back as many of the old men as he could uso. Manager Talllferro of the Omaha house said he was getting back h s old men rapidly. Ho would give the old men preference to new cues , but would keep all the workmen ho had employed during the strike. Company C of Nebraska City and company A of Kearney arrived from Lincoln at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon to relieve the companies here from David City and Beatrice. There was no disturbance last evening what ever. Caplaln Olson is now In charge of Camp Johnston. DlHitstcr follows. When live trouble Is neglected.

She ngaln turned on 'the fluid nnd the burner not being suf ficiently cooled caused a lerrlllc explosion , covering Ihe woman wllh ( Ire and nearly demolishing Ihe back part of the house. Mrs. Brown's screams attracted the atten tion of the neighbors , who directed their efforts to altevlot.ng her Intense suffering. The delay In turning In a lire alarm permit ted the flro to gain such headway that the house and all Its contents were destroyed , nnd the house occupied by Henry Jackson's family at 3529 Twenty-First street was also nearly consumed , catching fire from Urown's residence. Physicians were summoned to care for Mrs. Hrown , but It was Been that she had Inhaled the flames , and was burned severely from her waist up. She retained consciousness , however , and when her husband came lo her , she managed to lell him how Iho explosion happened. Jusl be fore she wenl to nil the gasoline tank her three little children were playing In Ihe room nnd something attracted their atten- Uon oul doors. They ran from Ihe room , Iho Incident In nil probability saving the.r lives. The meeting between Mr. Urown and his wlfo was Indeed pitiful. The poor woman was bravely struggling to conceal her pain , and when .Mr. Drown realized that the acci dent would probably termlna'o fatally ho could control himself no longer nnd gave way to his grief. Ho told a Dee reporter Uiat ho had lost everything in the world , but would have cheerfully stood the loss If Iho accident had not occurred to his wife- . He said that he was just gelling started In life again , having lost all his household furni ture by fire on n previous occasion. Ho said that they had succeeded In saving up enough money to make the last payment on his house and lot , and this was consumed In tlio fire along with every cent he had In the world. The house was valued at $900. and the contents at $ GOO , making a loss of f 1,500. There Is $900 Insurance on the house and furnllure , but as ho was having the policy transferred ho did nol know In what con dition his Insurance would be. Mr. Drown Is a sober , hard-working man , and has been employed at Dewey & Stone's furniture house for the past few years. The blow will fall very hard on him , but kind-hearted neighbors will give him all the assistance possible. Henry Jackson's house was damaged to the extent of J300 and one side of the structure was completely destroyed. Dy hard work the firemen managed to save most of his furni ture. Ho Is partially Insured. The attending physicians said at midnight thai Iho chances were greatly against the re covery of Mrs. Drown. Captain Sweeney , U. S. A. , San Diego , Gal. , says : "Shlloh's Catarrh Hcmedy Is Iho first medicine I have ever found lhal would do mo any good. " 1'rlco BOc. X.lL 1'A K. E. E. Glover of Cheyenne Is al Iho Pax- Ion.
