Tlio threatening weather yesterday did
not deter the democracy of Douglas county
from holding a convention. In point of
fact , tlio drizzling rain just before ( ho con
vention hour drove the spectators and dele-
Rates Indoors , and as a result a great many
logs were rolled across the floor lo awaken
the echoes of past conventions held In Wash
ington hall. In the hour just prior to callIng -
Ing the convention to order a number of
slates uere made and placed at a lilgli alti
tude , only to be smashed as soon .IB the
convention was In good running order , This
afforded amusement for both makers and
smashers , and thus the convention passed
oft with great eclat and tobacco smoke.
When the time came to call the conven
tion to order the sun emerged from behind a
bank of clouds nnd smiled benignly , and ut
2:25 : Chairman Rush of the county central
committee called the assembly to ordt'r.

In the load that Cartan withdrew and IJiiiin

HO\V THEY COULD WIN' .
Mr. Dunn was very proud of the honor

Kcrlous duly. No conventions had been
held In Douglas county for years fraught
with so much of Interest to democracy.
Ilo asked the delegates to lay aside personal
friendships and personal -prejudices , saying
that If this was done anil only' good mun
nominated , democracy would triumph In
Douglas. He raid the republican ticket
could and would be defeated If the conven

referred lo Commissioner Stenbcrg In an
emphatic manrr. He said the prc.-ent

ment of the state. He referred to tin1

convention adjourned.
UTTLE FUSION IN IT.
Altogether , the result of the contention
klmweil what was admitted Indeed before II
met , nnd that Is that the attempt at fusion
between the democrats and populists ended
In almost complete failure. C. P. HoKan. for
the lower house In the legislature , is the only
candidate on the ticket who Is absolutely the
cttiididute ot both parties , but If' promises
made-lire kepi , Ed P. Smith Is practically a
fusion nandlJate. A la.t attempt of the two
parties , lo tfst'together was made at the Pax-
Ion , ' hotel , yesterday forenoon , when the "popu-
lliiC'county central commlttee-urnl the popn-
llst candidate1 } met. It uas there agreed
that If the democrats should nominate Smith
fet > county attorney and ho should agree , if
elected , to name H. G. Hell , the populist
candidate for the same position , ns his dep
uty , allowing the populists to name two dep-
ut'es , then Hell would withdraw from llic
nice. This being ngrecd , the meeting hroko
up , and In the contention Smith was nomi
nated.
During the pendency ot the mectng ; ot
candidates and committees , n messenger
from the camp of the administration demo
crats wan announced and admitted to the
conference room. The siren message which
ho bore was to the effect that If Deaver was
pulled out ut the congressional race and
the entlra strength of the party turned to
lloyfl , the populists might have the. whole
democratic legislative and county ticket
fiom state senator Vlown to constable. This
waa BomelliliiK of a prize to turn down ,
owlnj ? lo the fact that with the proposition
there cume another to the effect that If the
deal waa consummated , the democrats would
open the barrel and pay all the campaign
expenses , After some spirited discussion
thlH pretty picture was turned to the wall ,
and the messenger was instructed to re-
tin n to tli9 phfce from whence he came , and
Icll his chiefs that tlie offer was rejected In
Its entirely. In refusing to accept , they
gave two reasons. Ono was to the effect
that If they pulled Deaver down and sup
ported noycl. they would be surrendering-
every principle In their platform to help
elei'l a hard money democrat on Issues that
were contrary to the teachings of the
national convention. The other reason they
declared was because they recognized In
Dearer a winner , and there was no reason
why wire tiling was to be given away ,
The oilier feature of the proposition was
not so rutiKhly handled , as some of ( hi *
candidates , and all of the coin in U tee in en
er In favor of the same. This proposition
was to the effect that Ihc populists should
pull off blx of their nominees on the lesls-
latlvo ticket , the democratic convention
would endorse the remaining six. and then
put up six slinon pure democrats , who would
liu acceptable to the populists ,
Everything went well In this di
rection null ! the vital question of
who should withdraw from the ticket
waa reached , and then there was confusion.
Sam U. Nedrey. Lyman Cow lea ami Theodore
Heiilne dec-lured that they would not get off
the tlrkrt , and If they were forced off with
out tlielr consent , there would be trouble
from start to flnUh. This settled the nut
ter , so far as fusing on legislative matters
weio concerned , nnd the deal was called oR
and the democrats Informed of the de-
cision.

The citizens' charier nmcndment commlltca
met In the mayor's olllcc yesterday afternoon
nnd became Involved In fa Interested n discus
sion of the contemplated changes that It
nearly forgot to adjourn. Moat of this time
was devoted to the discussion ot a now plan
ol assessment , but beyond comparing Individ
ual Ideas no definite action was taken.
As Chairman Tukcy was out of the city ,
Mayor Bemls was named to preside. The
committee appointed at the previous meet
ing to confer with the council committee In
. . .
an . endeavor to secure united action reported
that a meeting ol the council committee
would ' be called this evening , nt which time
they had'been Invited to bo present , and a
plan would bo arranged for the consolidation
of the two committees.
A communication , was read In which Ed
mund Burke urged the proposition that the
owners of abutting properly should bo com
pelled to pay for the repaying nf the wooden
block streets. He said that the. property
owners had Insisted un having a cheap pave
ment , and now they should be compelled to
pay for their whistle * and not shoulder thu
loss on those who had petitioned for good
pavements and paid for them.
Tlio subject of assessment was then
broached and a motion ( hat a duinnilttee of
three members of the citizens' ' committee
and two councllmen be appointed to draft an
amendment covering that point and submit It
to ( lie committee for discussion was carried.
It was paid that this matter , and that relat
ing to a new plan for repavlng worn-out
streets were the main subjects that demanded
the ntlcntloii of the committee , and they
should be discussed and pushed In some
definite proposition at once. Mr , Strlckler
suggested that If the Platte canal proposition
was carried It would bo necessary lo secure
an amendment by which the right of eminent
domain could be > acquired , and that it would
also bo a good plan to frame a provision by
which power would be given lo the city to
condemn ! ; the property of the water works
company and prepare a bill providing for Its
purchase.
MR. HOQQS' PLAN.
Mr. Hoggswas called on to unfold a plan
of assessment which It.was .in-l'rstJd he
had had In process of Incubation for some
time. Ho btalcd that his judgment was
that there should be a number of assessors
appointed , probably ten. each ot whom should
make an entire assessment of the city prop
erty , estimating the real estate nnd Im
provements separately. Then lie ten lists
should be ndilrd 'together nnd divided by
ten , and this would give about as f.ilr an
assessment as cuulfl be. dcvtaed , He ad
mitted that this method was expensive nnd
somewhat cumbersome , but thought that the
city could well -afford to expend $100,000 If
necessary In order to get a fiilr assessment ,
and after that the work would be compara
tively simple.
City EnglncerlRosewater differed with Mr.
Bongs as for as ; the appointment of ten as
sessors was concerned. He maintain.d that
a system where. , there were eight or ten
lienda couTd nol be-successful In any under
taking , and that'while as many suboidlnates
might bo employed as was necessary , the
assessment nhould all be under one hn l , ami
In this manner It would be uniform In all
ranes. He suggested that the assessor nhotild
prepare a mapion.a.large seal:1 which would
'chow ' tlnrassot3nipnt ofievry pl&eo el"prop-
.erty In tli * city , ami > by this means any
one could soc at a ; glan-ci what the assess
ment of a given piece of-property was. He
maintained that a system based on actual
values was , the only true system , although
uniformity was tlu most material eonpidera
lion. Many people had acquired the mis
taken Idea that an assessment bT-ed on act
ual values compelled the county lo pay more
than Its share of the stnl taxes. This was
not true , as the schedules filed by the va
rious counties with the State Board of
Equalization were practically i educed to act
ual values by equalizing ; the amount ol the
levy. The county that based Its assessment
on one-tenth of the-actual value was mude to
pay a heavier per cent than one which sub-
mitt. 0 un assessed valuation of one-third of
the actual value.
Contlnuinc , Mr. Rosewater deduced a few
facts to show the Inconsistencies of the pit-K
ent plan of assessment. The water works
company's property , for Instance , was only
aseessed for less than 1 per cent of Its actual
value. The '
company's Income every year
was creator Ihan tlie entire assessed valua
tion of Its property , and the city paid It
about the same as Us assessment for hydrant
rental yearly. Other corporations were as
sessed In the same ratio. The street mll-
Avuy company was atsesied at $00,000 on
property valued at $1,600,000 ,
GRANTING OF
Mr. Munro thought there should be an
amendment restricting the right of the city
council to grant franchises lo corporations.
No franchise should be granted until It had
been submitted to a vote of the people. If
It was not thus submitted , either the vote ot
the mayor should be final or else the ineasme
should require th : yiiaiilnious vole of the
council. Mr , Fowler
favored the Idea In a
general way , but thought It was unrieressary
to apply the restriction to every franchise
that might be" eougtt. It would be better lo
provide that such a rpirHlon should be xub-
inlttcd to the people on the petition of u cer
tain number of property owner ? . . After
some further discussion It nas decided to ap
point a committee of three to consider this
matter.
Recurring on the matter of taxes , Mr. lloso-
water suggested that the most economical
plan would be to provide for the assessment
of nil property In the county by an assessor ,
who should be astlsted by as many sub
ordinates as necessary , and then duplicates
of the assessment could be furnished to each
city or village on ivhlch their taxQa could bo
computed.
Chairman Wlnspcar of tuo Board of Public
Works was emphatically In favor of the sin
gle assessor Idea. He said that under HID
present system one , man might bring In the
assessments , ln .auwnrd 5 | ) cr > iuent too high , ,
and the assessor In another ward might make
his figures 25 perioent too low. and there was
no possible way of. equalizing the difference.
If an assessor pUri-d the vulue of the taxable
property In a wurd at $200.000 , the Board of
Equalization conldi ehavc a little off from
one man's properf > and add It lo another's ,
but could not riled the total a penny above
the $200,000 returned by the assessor.
Then the committee branched off on to the
paving problem and Judge Dojne and St. A.
U. Ilalcomba locked boms In u vigorous argu
ment as to the equity of compelling the prop
erty owners on wooden block streets to pay
for rcpdvlng. Jnd&a Doanc held that the ex
pense should b& borne by the city , and the
discussion was largely a repetition of thct
which occupied Urn time at the previous es-

Conclusive proof cif oil's thing that the patent fleeced
underwear ( hygenlc ) is here to stay , as we predicted last yenr
or n year before. Some persons are attached to it , and
couldn't really do without. So wmld you If you try it , for
two reasons. First The fleece lining is tender , lion irritable ,
smooth and heat retaining. Second It is more durable ,
warmer and a good amount cheaper than ordinary wool.
Heavy demands were made upon us for this underwear
lit.sl year. We sold loads of'cm , in fact we were unable to
supply the demand. This year we're fixed arranged direct *
ly with the manufacturers for a full supply , and as a consequence
quence wu are also dealing with manufacturers' prices.
*
Fgrtj\Jifty and SixtyCents for-three lines tif fleeced lined
underwear that sold last year from 75c to $1.25. A stroke
of enterprise we arc to be congr.itulatcd upon.
The reduction on other underwear is perhaps nol quite
so extensive , until you reach imported wool , which received
n setback , because of the decree of free wool , which goes into
effect January 1st , 1S)5. ! So fur we squeezed thu juice of the
frull and our stock of wool underwear is shelved at n good
deal cheaper than last year. Camel's hair last year 8Sc ,
this year Sixty Cents. Double breast and back camel's hair
is ths ? year only Eighty Cents , lust > csr Jjl.10. McdfeaJ
scarlet is reduced from $1.25 to Ninety Cents. Two thread
striped underwear is now Onc Dcillar. cut from $1.50. $1.75
natural wool underwear stepped down to One Twcnty.fivc
and so on liner the value , bigger the chip.
Cheaper underwear bearing cotton and wool mixtures ,
have suflered but little. Heavy purcliascrs , like ourselves ,
captured the best on closely shaven margins. Brown mixed
stun" , a fin , ! class 50c underwear , is Thirty Cents. Jersey
ribb-'d , a standard 75c underwear we sold last year at 50c ,
is this ye.ir only Forty. All wool is Fifty Cents.
This Is underwear time the prices lean toward you.
