EIGHTY-FIVE BALLOTS TAKEN

PottawAttamlc county Is In the nine hole.
The republicans of the Ninth congres
sional district arc In a deadlock.
When the local primaries and convention
were held some time ago to select delegates
to the congressional convention the astute
managers of the party In I'ottawattamle
county decided that It would be a cute thing
to fix up a neutral delegation for the con
vention and BO be In a position to do just
as they pleased at thu right time and make
or break candidates at their pleasure. The
republicans In other counties took the cue
and the result of the two sessions of the
convention yesterday shows that the outside
delegates appreciate the fix the local leaders
have got themselves In and propose to keep
them there.
Here Is the situation : Hager , the pres
ent congressman , has forty-nine votes In the
convention and knows where he can get two
or three more. Mel'hcrsou , Uyers and Cur
tis each has twenty or twenty-ono votes.
The 1'ottawattamlo county delegation Is di
vided and doesn't dare do a thing. Potta-
wattmlci county Is against Hagcr In a fair
fluid and linger has about all of his strengthen
on each ballot. But let 1'ottawattamlo county
make a break for any candidate and votes
enough will go to Hager at the drop of
the hat to make his nomination certain.
As long as I'ottawattamle county keeps
good and divides Its vote Impartially there
Is llttlo chance of Hager or cither of the
other gentlemen named being nominated.
Pottawattamte can't name a man of her
choice and can do nothing but keep on the
back seat and kill the strength of her dele
gation by passing It around to prevent mak
ing a Hager holiday.
After the adjournment last night a num
ber of conferences were held , but nothing
was decided upon , and there Is little pros
pect that anything will come of the session
this morning , unless Pottawattamlo precipi
tates a bolt to Hager. The action that has
been taken by thu local statesman has ar
rayed the district against this county and
there Is no immediate prospect of getting
out of the tangle. The delegates all stand
firm for the candidates they have been sup
porting and there Is nothing to Indicate
any Immediate change of heart In any part
of the district. A number of outside can
didates were mentioned last night , but their
names did not arouse any enthusiasm. It
seems now that the only thing to do Is to
fight It out In the convention and await
developments.
CALLED TO ORDER.
The republican convention for the Xlnth
congressional district was called to order
shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning
by Chairman J. H. Wilson , who read the
call. Rev. Victor Charles Rocho of the
First Baptist cnurch of Council Bluffs In
voked divine blessing upon the convention *
and then the delegates got ready for the
worldly part of the work.
J. M. Stotzcl of Audubon county was
named for temporary chairman , and J. C.
Mllllman of Harrison county for temporary
secretary. Chairman Stotzel delivered a
brief address , In which he reviewed the
democratic ralsrulo of the last four years
and asserted that the money question was
not troubling the republicans as much as it
had troubled the democrats the last four
years. He Insisted that the tariff was the
paramount Issue of the coming campaign ,
and predicted an era of prosperity for the
country that would follow after the election
of McKlnley as president , backed by a loyal
republican congress.

PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.
The committee on permanent organization
recommended the following olllcers , the re
port being adopted :
Chairman , E. A. Conalgney of Pottawatta
mle county.
Secretary , D. J. Adlum of Harrison county.
Assistant secretaries , C. K. Kennedy of
Montgomery county and B. P. Noble of
Shelby county.
Reading clerk , A. H. Grlssell of Guthrle
county.
The rer/irts of the 'committees wore
adopted and Permanent Chairman Con-
slgney made a brief address. Ho said that
four years ago the voters of thu country
had cowed the wind and had reaped the
whirlwind anJ a lot of Cleveland badges.
The country did not want any more cheap
money , but wanted revenue adequate to run '
the government , and the only way to get i
It vta * by the success of the republican !
party at the poll * this fall. |
The committee on resolutions presented j
Its report , adopting the St. Louis platform '
in Its entirety and pledging the nominee
of tbe present convention the complete and
unqualified lupport of the republican * of the
district. The report was adopted and the
work of naming a candidate tor congress
was In order.
On motion nominating speeches were dis
pensed with and the convention proceeded
to the placing of candidates In nomination
by a call of the counties. Adalr county
named Hon. A. L. I laser. Cass county pre
sented the name of II. G. Curtis. Mont
gomery county named Hon. Smith Mcl'her-
son , and Pottawnttamle county name H. W.
Byers of Shelby and Shelby county cheer
fully seconded the nomination of the last
named candidate. The first ballot was an
Informal one and resulted as follows :
TOOK EIGHTY-FOUR BALLOTS.
The vote was In keeping with the strength
of the candidates as outlined In these col
umns. Hager had a vote stronger than had
been supposed , but he did not keep It long.
The first formal ballot was the snino as the
Informal , and then the switching com
menced. On the second formal ballot Hager
lost a vote and Curtis gained one. On the
fifth Guthrle county broke Its column
of eleven and divided It among the other
candidates , leaving Hager but five votes.
Then the work became monotonous. Hager
dropped to fortM-thrce votes and then
ranged all the afternoon between forty-
three and fifty , with the other candidates not
far from their position on the Informal
showing , Hager's losses being usually di
vided up between the other candidates
with pretty Impartiality. Guthrle county
wobbled a good deal during the balloting.
It started In with eleven votes for Hager
and then for a change would vote Hagur
five and Byers six , and then go back to
Hager nine and Byers two. and then to add
a new color to the situation would throw
all of Its votes to some candidate who was
down In the list and running weakly. When
there was a prospect of a break of any
kind , however. Guthrle would be found
In the Hager column with nine votes and
the other two to Byers. Harrison county
opened with thirteen votes for Hager and
never changed a hair during the afternoon.
Mills county made no change at any time
from the vote on the Informal ballot.
The fifty-fifth formal ballot was taken
at 4 o'clock and resulted as follows : Hager ,
49 ; Byers , 23 ; McPherson. 22 ; Curtis , 13.
Then a desire for n llttlo talk over the
matter took possession of the delegates ,
and an adjournment was taken until 7:30 :
o'clock.
MANY WERE PRESENT.
There was a great big crowd on hand
when the convention met In adjourned ses
sion at 7:30 : o'clock last night. It was gen
erally expected that something would be
agreed upon during the recess and that a
nomination would be made last night.
Those who looked for such a result were dis
appointed. When the chairman called the
convention to order and started the roll
call It was a repetition of the afternoon's
business that had already grown monoto
nous. Adalr county responded with "HaKer-
nlne , " Audubon came In with "Hagerfour , "
"Uycrstwo , " "Curtlstwo" and to It went all
down the line and then It was the same
thing over again , and then they repeated
It without variations. Pot.'awattamle county
changed around a little bit and gave
Hager five votes on one ballot and six
votes on the next and fooled around between
eight and nine for Byers. but the totals
kept coming out the same. Finally at 9
o'clock the eighty-eighth formal ballot had
been taken and the result was Hager 49.
Byers 21 , McPherson 21 and Curtis 21. That
had been the result on almost every ballot
during the evening's session and there was
no hope for a change. A motion to adjourn
until 9 o'clock this morning was carried
almost-unanlmously.

At 5:30 : o'clock last evening John Han-
thorn , collection clerk at the Citizens' bank ,
returned from the postofflce , where he had
gone to deposit the evening mall , and as ho
opened the bank door staggered into the
arms of F. O. Glcason , one of the directors ,
gasping "I am dying. " Mr. Gleason tenderly
laid him down on the sofa In the front of
fice. He never spoke again , and a minute
later he was dead.
The young man was the son of the late
John Hanthorn , one of the pioneers of the
city. He was a bright young man , 19 years
old. For the last three years his health has
been poor , and he has been gradually but
surely falling. Pulmonary troubles and an
organic disease of the heart , were the causes
of his 111 health. A little over a year ago
he took the position In the bank , his friends
believing that the work and constant applica
tion would take his thoughts away from his
own condition and be a benefit to him. Ho
discharged his duties faithfully and accopta-
hemorrhage on the street. When It was
noticed that ho was perceptibly falling , anil a
month ago Cashier Hannan urged him to
take a vacation of two weeks. Ho seemed
to Improve and the vacation was extended
two weeks. On Thursday of last week he
returned to work. Yesterday morning while
attending to his duties he suffered a severe
hemorrhage on the street. When It was
over he appeared to feel better than ho had
for several days. As he left the bank to go
to the postofflce President Edmundson and
Cashier Hannan remarked his brightened
appearance and complimented him. His
brisk walk to the federal building was too
much , and ho realized that he was dying
cs be climbed the stone steps leading Into
the bank. After he was laid on the sofa
physicians were sent for , but life was ex
tinct when they arrived.
The funeral will occur from the residence
of his sister , Mrs. Eldou Lougee , 515 Oak
land avenue , tomorrow afternoon at 4
o'clock. Rev Mr. McDonald of St. Paul's
church will officiate. The body will be
burled In Falrvlev/ .
. III * Wife.
The police were regretting yesterday that
there .was not some law that could be In
voiced to properly punish such men as John
Boyd , who was locked up during the day
upon the charge of frequenting disorderly
houses. For weeks ho has been practical ! }
living In these low resorts , although he has
a wife and family. Yesterday the Informa
tion was conveyed to the police department
that the iron's wife was in a destitute and
pitiable condition. Detective Murphy looked
Into the case and found her living on Third
avenue near Thirteenth street In complete
deatltutlon. There was no food of any
character In the house , and to add to the
desperation of her situation she IB soon to
become a mother. The house was barren of
ovtry comfort and necessaries. All of the
food there was in the place was one little
piece of cornbread.
Murphy spent an hour hunting for the
husband and found him In the localltj
named. Ho is a strong , able bodied fellow
abundantly capable of taking care of hit
family. Ho will meet Judge McGee this
morning. _

! SOUTH OMAHA NE WSJ
The city council met as a board of equal
ization last night. Messrs. Hyland and Van-
font were absent.
D. H. CJoodrlch , secr uy cf the Omaha
Street Hallway companjP was present ami
the complaints of V. Rowley. I ) . Anderson ,
J. S. Gosney and F. P. Freeman were road
and taktn up. The complainants were rep
resented by an attorney , who stated that ho
did not see how he could go ahead unless
the assessor was present. The mayor said
that as the assessor was not now under pay
he could not be compelled to ultetul.
J. J. UtTcn said he had looked up the
records and found that the street railway
company had not made any return for Its
franchise In South Omaha , and ho thought
the franchise ought to be assessed , as It
was certainly worth something. The rail
way had been assessed at $3,000 a mile ,
which he thought was about right. Mr.
Ilrecn said that the franchise ought in his
opinion be assessed at $100 or } 200.
Mr. Goodrich said that the company
wanted to be fair , and If the council waste
to assess them $100 or $200 It would be
all right. Ills company had , he said , been
assessed pretty roundly altogether , und he
thought It was paying enough , but If the
amount suggested as an assessment on the
franchise was put on he would not com
plain.
Attorney Adams , representing the Munici
pal league and other citizens , said that he
did not think the corporations were paying
their part of the burden. Ho was willing to
accept the offer made by Mr. Goodrich as
far as the franchise was concerned.
Upon motion of Schultz an assessment of
$100 was levied agnlnst the Omaha Street
railway , and $50 against the Metropolitan
company's franchise.
David Anderson and other members of
the Municipal league complained that with
the two franchises assessed at n valuation of
only $150 , the revenue would only amount
to 57 or * S. and the objects of the com
plaints would not have been attained. The
council , howeve did not make any change
In the original motion.
The heirs of J. H. loggers protested against
the assessment of a lot at Twenty-fourth
and C streets nt $500. The lot Is vacant
and below grade and only twenty-four feet
frcnt. A letter from Assessor Cress jjtted
that the lot had been assessed as a fi Mot
and not a halt lot. as It should have been ,
and asking that the council correct the error.
The assessment was lowered to $315.

Owing to an oversight the amendment to
the milk ordinance was not passed at the
meeting of the council Monday night and
the matter wilt now go over until next Mon
day. Inspector Carroll 1s busy collecting
a list of the owners of one , two or three cows
n the city who sell milk , and BB soon as
the amendment passes he will get after them
for the license tax. The amendment pro
vides that for one cow a fee of $1 shall be
paid , for two cows $3 and for three cows $5.
The resolution directing the city attorney
to draw an ordinance providing that the live
stock Inspector Inspect all of the butcher
shops In the city every day Is finding favor
with thtf public. It has been suspected for
a long time that some of the meat shops
sold meat that was not up to standard , and
by this Inspection these dealers will be
found out and prosecuted.
Xext Monday night the levy for the next
fiscal year will be made. Estimates have
lcen prepared as to the cost of running the
different departments of the city. It was
figured that the fire department could get
along with $6,100. but Chief Smith has esti
mated that It will take $6,440 at the lowest
estimate , divided as follows : Salaries. $4,200 ;
new team and new gongs for engine houses.
$550 ; rents' , $420 ; feed. $470 ; shoeing , $100 ;
repairs , $250 ; fuel , $60 ; electric lights and
