Men ntcrcsted In the success of various candl- Jales arrived In Omnlia to remain until after vVcdn sday's convention Is over. Candidates who had not yet nocurcd quarters were In the city mahlni ; arrangements for roonm In which to entrap the unsuspecting delegate. Men came along to tiike charge of the hsadiiuar- tcrs , and altogether there was a general nc- tlvlty that IKIH been unnoticed up to the present time. H. U. Moore , Lincoln's candidate for lieu tenant governor , came up at noon yesterday and made arrangements for the opening of his campaign In earnest. With htm came it. S. Townley , chief clerk of ths State Hanking department. Mr. Townley Is a political vet eran anil will have charge of the Moore boom until the convention makes up Its mind whether or not.tho Llncpln man shall bo thi next lieutenant governor. A. H. Cruzen , a Frontier county man who wants to be sec retary of state , put In an uppearance In the afternoon. Slmimviiy of Wakcflchl , who Is also a candidate for lieutenant governor , ar rived anil begun to get himself well settled. AT M'COU.i IIHADQUAUTHUS. The MacColl headquarters were not closed , but there were few visitors. A bcheme In vented by th ° enemy was uncovered. J ate In the afternoon It was learned that Majors and his workers had duvlsed a plan to gather the delegates from the Fifth congressional district together for the purpose of luvlng resolutions of In struction voted betorc the. convention as sembled. The discovery wns greeted with broad grins by the MncColl men , for they have all along conceded the fact that Majors would have almost the entlro vote from the Fifth district. Taking Instructions from Ma jors to the riftli u on HI bo about as brilliant n stroke of Luminous as carrying coals to Newcastle. It Is e.xpeclcd that all of the candidates will be In the city by noon today , with the exception of Treasurer Hartley and Auditor Moore. These gentlemen feel that their presence will not b3 needed until tomorrow. All of the numerous candidates for places on the republican state ticket will have their quarters nt the Mlllard , and that hostelry will be the s.ene of unwonted activity from this evening on to the close of the convention. Local arrangements for the convention will hardly be completed until tomorrow. The convention will bo held In exposition hall and all necessary arrangements for the con venience and comfort of the delegations will bo made by energetic commltteemcn from this city. Those Interested In the state ticket hope that the convention will be able to complete Us labors In one day. There will be but little speechmaUing. Chairman Slaughter promises for himself to refrain from a lengthy address and the sentiment of everybody seems to be In favor of getting down to business nt once. HAS HAD MARKED BFFDCT. The effect of the action of Douglas county In Instructing its 10S delegates to the state convention to vote us a unit fjr Jack Mac- Cell has had n marked , stimulating effect upon the untnstructed delegates In other parts of the state. Many who have been wavering have now come out openly for MacColl. The , Majors men are trying to discount the effects of the Douglas county vote by assuring all comers that It makes no difference , that Ma jors wllLbo nominated easily without the as sistance of Douglas county. The assurance comes la a braggadocio tone and It lacks the ring of sincerity. Local sentiment respecting the probable In fluence In the convention of the Instructed delegates from Douglas county was expressed yesterday as follows : D. II. Wheeler I think the action of Satur day's conven ion will be In favor of MacColl's candidacy. I do not know many of the 'out side delegates , but Douglas county will cer tainly exert considerable influence In favor of r I' MacColl. St. A. D. nnlccmbe It looks a good deal s If It would result In a tie-up. If Douglas county goes for MacColl and the South Platte delegates go for Majors , with a large flcntterlng for a third nominee or a dark jorse , the dark horse might have the best of It In the case of n close contest between MacColl and Mujois. " Neither of these men has any reason to feel assured of the nomination. There Is a prejudice against Douglas county , and the action of Saturday's convention may not benefit MacColl. W. J. Ilroatch Owing to the small major ity of one side over the other , I am inclined to think that the'action of the convention Saturday will not have the effect desired. Still It will probably help MacColl's candi dacy , lien S. Duller I think the Influence of It will carry at least that many more votes with It , and It really looks as If MacColl's nomination must fellow. Judge Stcnberg The sending of on In structed delegation will encourage other counties to do likewise. This action will be a benefit to MacColl's candidacy. Thomas Swcibo I don't think there Is any question but that the. action of the Douglas county convention will bo favorable to Mac- Coil's candidacy. I voted for an Instructed delegation for that puiposo. U , II , Uoblson The action of the conven tion Is evidence and notice to the state of the good Intentions and judgment of the repub licans of the county .who are Interested In securing the strongest possible state ticket. All candidates and republicans are looking to Douglas county for a fair share of the re publican majorities at the election. The convention wns the expression > of the voters of Douglas county as voiced at the primaries , Itrpiilillrnii I.IUKIIII llfiiliiinrtnrfi. | The olllcers and executive committee of the Republican State league will have headquar ters at the Mlllard hotel August 20 , 21 and 22 , and all republicans attending the state con vention are respectfully Invited to call and see them.

If millionaires ever pray , and the most humble man will admit that men of wealth arc sometimes suppliant , It Is to bo pre sumed that there arc many silent petitions bilng sent forth that President Cleveland will veto the tariff bill and thus kill the pro vision for the levying of an Income tax. Al though the two per cent tax provided for on Incomes of more than 11,000 will be a con tribution of but Jl out of $50 to Uncle Sam , It IB generally believed that In many man sions the wealthy owners look upon the tax as a great hardship. It Is estimated by treasury experts that the revenue derived from the Income tax will be $30.000,000 a yenr. Other estimates vary from $25.000.000 to $40,000,000. Of this New York's men of wealth and others not termed wcilthy , but who live comfortably on more thnn $4,000 a year , will pay a large proportion. The tax to be paid by some of the leading millionaires of this city , sajs n Now York dispatch to the Philadelphia Times , will In many Instances run up in the thousands. William Waldorf Astor will undoubtedly lend the list. Ills Income Is estimated at $ S,900- 900 per year , and on this he will liavo to pay a yearly tax of $178,000 , John D Rockefeller whoso Income Is estimated at J"HI,250 ( , will have to pay $152,225 ; the Gould estate $ SO- KOO , and poor and unhappy Rifsscll Sage about $ DO,000. Cornelius Vandcrbllt. with an esti mated Income of ? 1,048,000 will have to con tribute a yearly tax of $ SO,8CO , while William K. Vnnderhllt's contribution to the national exchequer will be about $75.000. John Jacob Astor will be let off on a piymen * of $ (10,000. ( Other millionaires and their probable in come 'tax ate Henry M. Tlagler , JtfO.OOO ; Frederick W Vandcrbllt , $ .15,000 ; Louis C. Tiffany. $35,000 ; Collls I' . Hunt ngton , $20- 000 ; William Rockefeller , $00,000 ; Moses Taylor , estate , $50,000 ; Robert Goelet , $ .J5- 000 ; Ogden Goelet , * 20,000. Tlipre will be some fair hands , too , that will ccunt out cash to the Internal revenue collectors. It will cost Mrs. Ilradley-Mnrtln- Mis. Anton I'helps Stokes , Clementina Fur- niss and Sophia R. I'urnlss about $10.000 each If the bill goes on the statute books , nnd If Mrs. Hetty Green doesn't succeed In dodging the collector It Is est mated she will have to part with $10,000. The feelings of the millionaires who arc to bo taxed , If Mr. Cleveland says bo , may be partially alleviated by the fact that the net earnings of corporations are to be taxed before being paid out In dividends , so very few rich men will be obliged to give over the entire amount of their tax In n lump sum. LIke men who buy their cigars singly Instead of by the bsx , beciuse It doesn't seem to cost so much , they may thus be kept from believing themselves on the veige of bankruptcy when the tax collector comes around just before the Fourth of July. I'unrriil of Olllcvr Itnhhln * . The funeral of Policeman Frank Robblns was held yesterday afternoon. Sixty police men , headed by Chief Seavey , marched to the house , 3004 Martha htreet , and escorted the hcarso bearing the remains to St. Peter's church. Father Welsh preached the funeral sermon. The Foresters , Wodmen of the World and Modern Weodmcn of America also attended. Olllcers Monroe and Cum- mlngs were the pallbearers deta led by the police. The cily Jail is draped In mourning and each officer will wear the customary badge of mourning for thirty dajs. l.lllcp rrclRlit IditcB Krstorcil. BUFFALO , Aug. 19.

WANT MANY THINGS CHANGED Declaration of Principles Adopted by the Nebraska Federation of Labor. STATUTE BOOKS ARE NOT UP TO DATE Cnldvvcll Cnmmomlril nml Clo\olnnil Con- ctcinnril UlmiiKr * Mitile In Conntliutlou Klcctlon of Olllcers Hofuscd to Kmlorito llryiin. Tlio delegates to tlio convention of the Nebraska Stnto Federation of Labor rcas- tcniblccl yesterday nt 10:30 : a. in. In Patterson hall for the purpose of completing the busi ness left over from the seas.on the evening before. Ono of the most Interesting discussions of the ccnvcntlon was brought on late In the afternoon when Jason It. Lewis Introduced a resolution providing tlmt the Nebraska Federation of Labor should pledge Its sup port toV. . J. Uryan In his candidacy for the senate. After on earnest debate , lasting nioro than an hour , n motion to table the resolution was carried by a two-thirds majority. Then a resolution pledging the support of the federation to the candidates to be nominated by the populists was Intr.duced and It was also tabled. On motion J. W. Vegan acldd as chairman In the absence of the president. The secre- taiy of the executive council submitted a complete report of the actions of that body slnco the last Eesslon. The report was ac cepted and placed on file , the recommenda tions being referred to the executive council to be elected later In the session. J. R. Low Is cf Typographical union No. 190 pro tested that a committee upon which ho was appointed had been Ignored by the executive council , and members of the executive coun cil retorted that the committee appointed had failed to act and left the work upon that body. There was considerable discussion regarding the action of the executive cotmc.l In recom mending a Iccil paper. In order that all of the delegates might have something to say on this subject the convention went Into committee of the whole , where It wns decided to consider the paper recommended as only a political paper and not n labor organ. After the committee arose the convention passed a motion to the effect that the state federation would endorse no paper as an ofllclal organ. At 12:15 : p. m. the convention adjourned until 2 o'clock. In the afternoon the committee on resolu tions submitted a report. This was a signal for some Interesting discussion and those who were expecting to hear the labor ques tion discussed upon all sides were not dls- appo nted. The declaration adopted was : The representatives of the federated wage workers of Nebraska In convention assembled , extend the hand of political fel lowship and unity to the farmers of the state and nation , and declare our Interests to be Identical , and that legislation that affects the one unfavorably , bears with equal force upon tlio other. We consider ours the fairest land on earth , and while we cherish Its Institutions and reveie the names of those patriots who offered their lives and fortunes for the oppressed , yet we feel and assert that today In this land the vilest tyranny Is piactlccd , and the most abject servility Is taught and exacted from the wage workers. We endorse the Omaha platform and pre amble with everything that it Implies , and we emphasize the fact that metallic basis for money Is a humbug. We do not want our money redeemed In gold or silver , but In food and clothing and warmth and shelter and In objects of comfort , art' and beauty , for the adornment of our homes , that our chlldicn may be noble and rellned , contented and happy. AIM OF GOVCnNMENT. We declare that the proper aim of govern ment Is not to rule the people , but to be an Instrument for securing equality , prosperity and happiness among the people , and. that therefore It Is the first duty of government to guarante to every cltlren an opportunity to earn a living for himself and family , and any government that falls In this Is a bad government , and should be remodeled. In order tlmt ourselves and our children and our children's children may forever be secured against privation and want , we de mand that the geneial government estab lish a cabinet department to be known ns the Department of Co-Operntlve Industry , for the purpose of providing ways and means and capital for employing In co operative productive labor every citizen who may need employment , the workers In sold depaitment to have the full proceeds of their labor without prollt to the govern ment. v > declare that our mothers and wives 1 daughters are by their virtue and In- ti llgenco and liner moral sense entitled to equal voice with ourselveb In the affairs of government. Wo condemn the new form of Plnkerton- Ism which consists In the recruiting of pri vate armies under the name of "deputies" by sheriffs who are merely the agents and tools of coiporatlons , ns was done in the state of Color.ulo recently. We extend thanks to those governors , senators and representatives who have ad vocated the rights of labor so faithfully at every opportunity. We recognize that In the late decision of Judge Caldwcll , In vvhleh he ordered the receivers of the S-xnta Fe road to pay their employes their wages before the 15th of each month , he has taken a stand In favor of right and justice which Is commendable. We recognize In Judge Caldwell a just judge , a fearless imn and a true friend of the people. Wo glory In the pluck of the American llallwaj union and Its grand leader , Eugene V. Debs , and we denounce the combination of goveinnient officials and railway man agers by which the rights of working men me trampled upon , and declare It high time foi the people to go to the ballot box and lecapture the government , which is now In the hands of traitors. Experience with the Intertsate commerce law and our own State Hoard of Trnns- jiortatlon having Miovvn that It Is Impossible for the government to control the lawless railway corporations , we demand nothing short of government ownership and opera tion of these hlghwajs. We declare the pies > ent s > stem of compe tition among wealth producers to be vicious and barbarous and not In accord with the laws of nntuie. Therefore , we believe In advocating and using every effort toward seeming eo-operatlon , through which nlonu the biothcrhood of man Is made possible. \\o iluiounco the ho-called system of pio- tei'tlon to Ameilcan labor as a fraucl , a delusion and a snare. A system that has protected manufacturers to the extent of $ JU,000,000,000 In thirty years over and above a reasonable leturn on their Investments , anil at the same time denied unto labor n living wage , has In part built up robber barons Ilko Carnegie , Pullman and others , for vvhuso bvncllt n hoide of undesirable , seivlle emigrants hove been Imported ami an nimy of militia maintained to coerce AmcilciinoiUmon Into abject slavery. DENOUNCE THE ADMINISTRATION. Wo denounce the present administration ns time seivers of the corporations and en- umles of thi producing clashes , together with tliOKo gvcophitntlc Judges whose decis ions would not bo tolerated by , enlightened public opinion even In momirchlal Europe. Wo denounce as brutally Intolerant tlmt construction of the Interstate commerce law tluit makes It conspliacy for labor to make a -stand for living wages and makes the mime law Inoperative ns to the corporations who have robbed the -piH'lIu. ooeiced their employes , bilbed legislatures and subverted n free government uy corrupt intHhpds. We declare ourselves ta bo opposed to anarchy and lawlessness , and hold that wo should not be blamed for the nets of Ig norant and vicious Individuals , oftentimes led on by I'lnKerton thugs hired by corpo- uitlons. We bcllcvo the alms and objects of our association to be grand and noble. Wo utand for all there Id of civilization and the elevation of the masses , by de manding a higher Htandartl of living , shorter hours for woik and Increased consumption , us by this alone can the workers llnii em ployment. Wo voice the mute appeals of thousands of little ones In our land whose Innocent lives are belnt sacrificed to the Krce l of modem tnjtallnm. We chnmolon the cause of thotiRMnfla of our sinters wio o Vlrtuo la sncrllloptllmi the game altar , nml wo demand e < iuitl > pity and equal rights for women ns for meru We demand tlmt' kit products of convict labor which conuvln competition with frt labor be so branded tn an Ineffaceable man ner In such a wny tlmt It will be easily discernible at all times. In line with our vlfw we demand nt the hands of the lawmakers of the state and nation free compuliiory education of all children up to the ngeof in ; total abolition of child labor up ta the age of It ) ; sanitary Inspection of factory , mine and work shops , schools anil prlRont ; an eight-hour work day ; the Initiative nml referendum In all leglxlatlon ; free atul unlimited coinage of sliver at 1(5 ( to 1 ; n national bureau of co operative Industry ; national ownership and control of a nntlonttl svstom of Irrigation ; government ownership and operation of co.il mlnec , oil wells , railroad" , telegraphs , telephones , municipal street cars , lighting , heat and power ; election of United States senators by direct vote of the people ; abolition ition of the convict labor system ; free em ployment bureaus In every city of over .1,000 ; a graduated Income tax ; land taxed nt Its full rental value ; albllintlon In all disputes between capital and labor : abolition of national banks and the substitution of United States banks of hsue. We hereby demand the enforcement of the usury law of Nebraska. The committee having charge of the forma tion of new unions ami assemblies reported a system to be followed In the future. NH\V CONSTITUTION AUOI'TRD. The committee on constitution reported al most an entire new constitution , which was unanimously adopted by the convention , The constitution provides for semi-annual meetings at times and places to be named by the conventions In session. It also pro vides for a number of committees to carry on the work of ths labor organisations of the state.

Scott's double attraction , "A Cold Day" company , and "Chip o' the' Old Dlock" company , which comes to the Fifteenth Street theater for one week , com- mencing-Sunday night , August 2G. This new Idea of two well known companies consolidat ing and playing both shows the same night , with two entirely different casts , Jias cer tainly met with public approval , and In these hard times they are not slow to take ad vantage of It. Doth of these companies are first-class and well known. They- have guaranteed Man ager Burgess that they will not cut the shows , but will commence sharp at 7:45 : and end about 11.45. They allow two hours for each performance. The waits between the acts will bo only five minutes each. Cotirtlnml Itiiich Notes "The Last Days of Pompeii" begins to morrow night. Excursions frum St. Joreph and from Parry , la. , visited the beach yesterday. The carriage driveway at the beach will remain open on Pompellan nights as usual. Extra trains will be put on both the Sher man avenue motor line and the East Omaha line during Pompellan nights. Reserved seats , as well as chair seats In boxes , may be obtained for "Pompeii" down town or at the entrance to Courtland btach. The dog circus Is such a drawing attraction that Manager GillIHIis has concluded to con tinue It today and tomorrow , both afternoon and evening. There was the usual large Sunday attend ance yesterday afternoon at Courtland , but the threatening weather last evening kept the night crowd down to about 1,000 per sons. While the chairs In the boxes , as well as the reserved seats at "Pompeii , " will be the most com fortable , no one who simply pays the general admission will have any cause whatever for complaint , as the general admission seats will command a full and unobstructed view of the entlro exhibition. The scenes yesterday at the city of Pom- pell were quite the , reverse from what they liavo been during the past two weeks. While all has been bustle and excitement hereto fore , everything wia quiet and reserved. Not a single workman put In an appearance , and outside of the vast crowds that visited Pom- pell the only Individuals visible were the watchmen , But today It will again bo differ ent. An extra force of men will be put on and by this evening all Is expected to be In readiness , with the exception of a few finish ing touches. Twenty-two electric arc lights have been put up and the ushers have all been engaged , with Frank Furay as head usher.
