I * Tlio democrats will holil their county con-
Jvenllon this nfternoon for the purpose of
'
'pclectlnc n legltlatlve and county ticket.
| Althonch the Interest In the event has not
Treated an much excitement : as did the rc-
Siubllcan preliminaries , there was no little
[ figuring last night at the various democratic
i-csorts. All day long yesterday a quiet
Ibfforl wan made to come to an understanding
wltli the populists In an effort to bring about
NL combination which would result to the
ihmttuil advantage of both parties. The
ftlort was a failure And at 4 o'clock the
L steering committees from both parties gave
It up. Up to that hour two populist candi
dates liad agreed to stand out of the way
nml permit two democrats to bs placed on
jtho ticket , with the understanding that the
fcsl of the populist ticket would be endorsed
today by the democrats. Late In the after-
hoon. however , the two that had eeemed
svtlllne to offer themselves as. u sacrifice
priced up and declined to be slaughtered to
| imk a a democratic holiday. Consequently ,
.he democrats will nominate n straight
ticket this nfternoon. It is hinted , however ,
hat both sides have not yet entirely nban-
toned the Idea ot a combination later In tlie
; ampalun ,
1 There will be nc lack ot material for the
emocrntu to v\ork upon today. The number
f candidates for places , on the democratic
Icket Is by no means limited. Far the slate
enate a number of men are being canvasssd ,
.niong them being W , S. Poppleton , C. II
Jrown , George W. Ames , W. S. Fclker and
R. Duffle. Some of the local democracy
[ admit that It Is not at all certain that all oC
iho above nanieTT gentlemen are really court-
Jug the honor that possibly may be thrust
upon them , but they are the men that arc
the most prominent In the list.
( Kor places on tlio representative ticket ( ho
hsplratits are , of course , more numerous. The
llet taut evening contained the name ? of W.
P. Ilnrton , Will Doane , W. W. McCombs , O.
V. Plckard , Ell Uoud. Louis Ilelmroil , Phillip
Unclres. J. Frcltag , Jacob Jaslcaleck and L.
' Y. Crofut Of these McCombs and Plckard
'nro representatives of the country precincts ,
coming from Jefferson and Douglas precincts ,
respectively. Elt Doud and J. Freltng are
from South Omaha and the balance from
Omaha. . There are other names which will
coma before the convention , and the contest
Jor places on the representative ticket ol-
icndy gives promise of being an animated
cm- .
cmThere
There Is also a very pretty 1IU1& contest
bvcr the county attorneyshlp. The three
candidates whoso names are mentioned arc
ISilson Ittch , E. P. Smith and C. J. Tutlle.
Another contest Is likely to- arise over the
CommlBslonershlp , there being a number of
candidates already In the Hold. Among
them are "William Neve , W. J. Ijains , W.
'Ji ' Mount und Major Dennis.
'
The usscsnors have been selected without
much friction , but there will be contest * In
two wards. In the second Lees was two
'votes away from Pcrclvnl , and the two will
fight the mutter out. There Is also a coa-
tcsl In the Third between Cosgrovo an.1
Harrington.

Captain P. II. Ray , who [ a under arrest In

is well known In Omaha , having served In
the Department of the Platte for some years ,
with headquarters at Omaha.
So fnr no official report of Captain Kay'

lain Kay uaa appointed Indian agent there
was a howl from the ranchmen nnd rustlers.
In that country. They knew that the captain
would < lo what was > r.ht for the Indians
and wanted a man whom they could use.
Ever since Kay's appointment he has hat
troubles , all bcaube he Insisted upon the In

lu M lu ljr Delay ,
The expected controversy In the city coun
cil over the mayor's veto ot the union depot
ordinance _ Old not materialize last night ,
The veto was ready for consideration , but ,
anticipating defeat , the supporters of the
ordinance . succeeded In gaining time by an
Immediate adjournment. They did not have
the necessary votes to pass the ordinance
over the veto and expect to delay action until
they can win over enough of the opposing
members to serve their purpose.
As soon as the roll was called last night
led wards moved that when the council nd-
journ It would be until Friday night , This
cxposedxtho whole schema and every one
was prepared for what followed. The rules
were suspended while the salary appropria
tion irdlnanco was passed , and then a mo
tion to adjourn was quickly put and carried.
The members who voted against the ordi
nance last Tuesday night protested , but the
combine had a nialorlty and the council
chamber was scon deserted.
The feelings of the minority wore expressed
by one of them , who s.ild : "Well , this means
another week of jrrlef. " He referred to the
constant nnd desperate pressure that he ,
with his colleagues , has been compelled to
withstand ever since the prospect of a veto
drove the combine to desperate measures.
"You can have no Idea , " said he , "what
we have been compelled to stand ever since
this ordinance came up. For a week past
we have been continually hounded by the
railroad officials and their pluggors. Not
onlv have personal letters been written by
all the high ollicinls of the roads , but they have
been to see us In person and uwd every
means In their power to compel us to recede
from our position.
"Hut even these means have failed to win
enough votes , and now they put the matter
off for three more days , expecting that be
fore that time some ot us will have to give
In. One or two of those whom we counted
on to sustain the mayor have already shown
signs of weakness , and In fact not every
man Is able to stand such a pressure as has
been exerted. It Is an outrage that a pub
lic ofllclal cannot be allowed to stand by his
horcst convictions and what he bel'evcs ' to
be the best Interests of the city without
having his life made a burden by men who
can brine Influences to bear that directly
affect hU personal and private Interests. I
intend to maintain my position just as long
ay I believe thnt It Is rlzht. but I will be
slad when all this Is over. "
That this statement Is fur from being an
exaggeration Is fully understood by those
who aio In a position to have any knowledge
of the farts. Never have the railroads been
more active In attempting to get a measure
through the council. It Is claimed that most
of the active canvassing Is being done by the
Darlington officials and that even President
Perkins has taken enough Interest In the
matter to write to certain councllmen urging
them to get Into line for the railroad Inter
ests.
CAUGHT THE WOLF.
Ttircc Huntsmen unit Their Ilo a Do tlio
liUKlllCM.
Uncle Nate Elliott , "William Simpson and
Simon Hale enjoyed a wolf hunt Monday
In the vicinity of nrlggs' station on the
St. Paul road , north of Florence. They had
come rare sport and bagged a big gray
wolf after a run of an hour and fifteen
minutes. They started from Simpson's farm
a little after sunrise , but did not start their
quarry until about 9 'o'clock. Uncle Nate
had his pack of ten hounds and after getting
the scent they were away like a flash.
Over hill and dale they flew , nnd away ahead
of them could occasionally be seen n streak
of light gray as the wolf scurried along to
evade his pursuers. After he began getting
tired , the animal doubled back on his trail
and the hounds began closing up on him
It was a race for life , but as the wolf at
tempted to make a short cut through a
meadow the leader of the pack tackled and
threw him. This gave the other dogs a
chance to close up and for the next few
minutes there was the liveliest kind of
scrimmage , but the wolf was soon killed
and his pelt adorns Uncle Nate's barn door
and In due course of time will be made Into
a nig. The hunters report that wolves are
very plentiful In the river bottoms this year ,
and sportsmen are organising a grand round
up hunt as soon as the weather gets a little
colder.

Three Leading Scientists
'Proclaim the Superior Value of
Dr. Price's Baking Powder.
Scientists are devoting closer attention to food products.
Recent examinations of baking- powders by Prof. Long , Dr.
Iluines , and. Prof. Prcscott , were made to determine which
powder wasithe purest , highest in leavening strength , most
efficient iin service , and most economical in cost. They
decide that ! Dr. Price's Cream TBaking Powder excels in all
the essentials of an ideal preparation for household use ,
They writ or
, "Chicago , March aSth , 1894.
We have purchased in the open market cans of Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder and also of the other leading brands
of baking powdeis , and have submitted them to chemical
analysis.Vc find that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is
a pure cream of tartar powder , that it has a considerably
greater leavening strength than any of the other baking
powders we have ever tested.

Conclusive proof of 0113 thing Unit thu patent fleeced
underwear ( liy enlc ) is hero to.stity , as wo predicted lust year
or a year before. Some persons tire nttndied to it , nnd
couldn't really do without. So would you If you try it , for
two reasons. First The Jleece lining Is tender , mm Irritable ,
smooth and heat retaining * Second It is more durable ,
wanner and a good amount cheaper tli.iu ordinary wool.
Heavy demands -were made upon us forthls underwear
Inst year. We sold loads of'em , In fact we were unable to
supply the demand. This year we're fixej iirr.ingcd direct
ly with the lunmifacturors for a full supply , and as n consequence
quence we are also dealing with manuf.icturcrs' prices.
Forty. Fifty und Sixty Cents for three lines of llecced lined
underwear that sold Inst year from 75c to $1.25 , A stroke
of enterprise we are to be congratulated upon.
The reduction on other underwear is perhaps not quite
so extensive , until yon reach imported wool , which received
n s.tbnclc , because of the decree of free wool , which goes Into
effect January 1st , 185)5. ) So far we squeezed the juice of the
fruit nnd our stoili of wool underwear is shelved at u Roo.1
deal cheaper than last . '

natural wool underwear stepped down to Q n eT _ w e n t yfi ve
and so onliner the value , bigger the chip.
Cheaper underwear bearing cotton nnd wool mixtures ,
have MI ( Tercel but little. Heavy purchasers , like ourselves ,
captured the best on closely shaven m.irgins. Hrown mixed
