It took the republican county convention
exactly an hour yesterday afternoon to se
lect 112 delegates to the congressional con
vention. They were unanimously Iti-
utructcd to vote for the rcnomlnatlon of I ) .
11 , Mercer , The convention was one of
the most harmonious and enthusiastic ever
held In Douglas county. There was only
one name mentioned In connection with the
nomination and the uninitiated observer
would never have Imagined that and different
situation had previously obtained. If there
were any dissatisfactions remaining from
the contest at the primaries they were not
perceptible and from first to Inst not an
Inharmonious note was sounded. It was nn
auspicious beginning of the congressional
campaign and when the convention meets
today Its proceedings will be a mere ratifica
tion of the will of the three counties of the
district , as expressed In the Instructions to
the delegates.
When the county convention met In
Washington hall yesterday afternoon
every delegate on thu floor was for 1) .
II , Mercer. The Third ward delegates were
the last to climb Into thu band wagon. Dur
ing the forenoon they got together and de
cided that It would bt > useless to oppose
themselves , to the rest of the convention.
Consequently they determined to cast their
fujl vote In Mercer's ' Intel csts. During the
Interval wlillu the delegates were arriving ,
the unsuccessful aspirants for .Mercer's
Bhocs lingered around the cdgi's of the
crowd and received the good humored chaf
fing of their friends with as good grace as
possible. Mercer's overwhelming victory
at the primaries had settled all opposition
and to hear thu conversations going on In
various parts of the hall ono would think
110 such opposition had ever existed.
The delegates consumed some time In ex
changing felicitations and It was 2:20 : o'clock
when Chairman John Lewis of the county
central committee called the convention to
order. Secretary hunt read the call , after
which Chairman Lewis said :
"Gentlemen of the Convention : The bat
tle In the republican camp Is over. The
overwhelming majority rolled up In the va
rious wards of this city upon yesterday :
the returns rom South Omaha and the
country precincts , Indicate the way the
wind blows and settle the congressional
struggle In our party. Yesterday we fol
lowed the several banners of our own par
ticular candidates. Today , without regard
to former allegiance , one and all , we gather
about one banner , the banner of the re
publican party , which has Inscribed upon
It. the three mnslc names , MeKlnlcy , Mac-
Cell and Mercer. Under this banner ,
united and loyal , the republican party In
this county will march on to magnificent
victory In November next. Out from the
conflict of yesterday we come with no
heartburnings , no enmities , with but one
desire the success ot the entire republican
ticket next fall.
"I have the honor of presenting as your
temporary chairman , Hon. Charles J.
Greene of the Ninth ward. "
The applause was renewed when Mr.
Greene was Introduced and took the gavel.
In thanking the convention for the honor
conferred Mr. Oreeno remarked that while
the great interest iu this campaign cen
tered on the contest for the presidency ,
the composition of the next congress was
even more Important. There had been a
struggle In this county , but now that It
was over all should be united and know no
man except as a republican.
Ho called attention to tlm great issues
that were to be decided. "The democratic
party was for free coinage , free trade and
everything else that was free except free
labor , lie arraigned the populist party and
pointed to the riot and disaster that had
followed Its assumption of power In Illinois ,
Kansas and Colorado. It had shown Itself
incapable of governing a state and still It
aspired to govern the nation. All these
Interests meant war on the republican party ,
Its Institutions and Its policy. Thu repub
lican party stood for protection to American
labor and Industries and for the best finan
cial policy that the world had ever known.
It was the best friend Hllvcr had ever had.
Up to 1873 there had been scarcely $3.000-
000 of silver coined in the United States.
Since then the republican party had added
nearly $000,000,000 to the silver coinage cf
the country.
MAINTAIN THE PIIRSENT SYSTEM.
"Was that an act of an enemy to silver ?
Tlio party was for bimetallism , but until
that had been secured by International
agreement It proposed to maintain the finan
cial system under which we had prospered
for thirty years.
"What it meant was that every dollar of
the vast volume of money that circulated
today , whether gold or silver or certificates ,
should bo as good as any other dollar lu the
jvorlcl. "
The speaker followed with a strong portrayal
trayal of the weakness of the position taken
by the free and unlimited coinage advocates.
Ho showed the unfairness of the proposition
and Indicated the manner In which the exe
cution of their views would contract the cur
rency and bring disaster to every Interest
of this country. "Work was what the pco-
plo wanted. Was this to be provided by de-
Htroylng the industries which afforded labor ?
Would free silver , or free trade give work to
the American people ?
"This was no now situation. It had been
confronted five times before In the history
of this country and In each case had re
sulted In disaster. The republican party bad
always been true to the people. It had
found the country In the midst of a civil
war and had brought about peaces within and
without Us borders. It had found It In Iliian.
clut distress and left It In a condition of
prosperity unparalleled In Its history , "
At the end of the chairman's address , the
organization was completed by the election
of II , 0. Smith of thu Sixth ward and W.
A , Sousscy of Clontarf as secretaries.
On motion of T. K. Sudborough , the list
of delegates as received by the secretary
were declared seated. W. I ) . Taylor of the
Fourth ward moved that a committee of
seven be selected to name the delegates to
the congressional convention. An amend
ment to Increase thu committee to * Include
ono member from each ward and precinct
was voted down , and the original motion
prevailed. The committee consisted of \ \ '

fr It. W. Ilreckcnrldgo of the Seventh ward
offered the following resolution , which was
received with rhecra :

seconded the resolution offered by Mr. Urcck-
cnrldgc. Tom McVItt of the Third ward
erformcd the same oillco In behalf of Mr.
'ornl li.
The resolution was adopted amid Ire *
mrndotis enthusiasm and there wan a wild
cry for Mercer s lie entered the
linll. Mr. Mercer advanced to the
jilatform , while the delegates
ipplauded wildly. Congressman Mercer Bald
that In his opinion n public office was not a
irlvate snap. The people wanted an official
who attended to his business and was not
out on dress parade three-fourths of the
time.
It was not alwavs an easy matter for a
man to do his du'y , but perseverance con
quered nil things. He had endeavored to
erase from his lexicon the word "fall" and
Ills work was only commenced for the Second
end congressional district. Ho stood on the
republican platform now ns In the paat.
With reciprocity , protection and sound
money , prosperity would return to this
country. If the tariff question was prop-
> rly taken care of. the money question
would take care of Itself. And with Me-
Ktnley In the white hour the republican
iarty proposed In accomplish that result.
Continuing , tbu speaker referred to the
sentiment of standing up for Omaha and
Nebrabka that was becoming universal. Ho
vigorously urged home patronage and a de
termined effort to build up the Industries
of Nebraska.
As Mr. Mercer concluded there were gen
eral calls for K. J. Cornish. Mr. Cornish
somewhat humorously accepted his position.
HP remarked that when a boy he had always
wanted to see how a chicken looked after It
had been through n eyclpne and ho pre
sumed that that was the reason why the
delegates were anxious to see him. Hw
brlelly pledged his allegiance to Mr. Mercer
and gave way to Mr. II. C. Drome.
Mr. Drome responded , Raying : ' "I be
long , like my friend. In the ranks. I have
always been found fighting In the ranks. 1
recognize every one has a right to be a can
didate , but should understand the majority
should rule , and when the will of the
majority Is determined to bow to Its will.
The prosperity of the country Is bound up
In the republican party and It Is due from
us all to work for Its success and for the
election of Its nominees. If Mr. Mercer
will do as well In the next two years as
he has In the past four , I will be satisfied.
I do not say It In n spirit of Mattery , but I do
say that no man can assert he has not per
formed his duty. "
Thu convention seemed to be disposed to
listen to speechmaklng. and John L.
Kennedy , W. F. din-ley. 1. H. Andrews ,
J.V. . Carr and II. G. Durbank were suc
cessively called for. None of them re
sponded , and a recess of live minutes was
declared In which to wait for the report of
the convention.

Urge the Commissioners to Proceed with

OBJECT TO THE BOND REQUIREMENT

The Southsldc Improvement club Is still
making every effort to secure the grading
of the Thirteenth street boulevard by the
county commissioners and without the giv
ing of an Indemnity bond by the property
owners along that street , to protect the
county against loss by damage suits. The
commissioners have adjourned until June
25 , but In the meantime the southsldcrs
nro losing no time. They are endeavoring
to win n majority of the hoard over to their
side and the Indications arc that when the
board next convenes the resolution pro
viding that the street shall be graded , pro
viding a bond Is given , will bo reconsidered
and the part referring to the bond stricken
out.
out.At
At the time this resolution was passed
some of the commissioners asked the county
attorney for an opinion as to the legality
of the bond which had been asked for.
This question was turned over to Assistant
County Attorney Dnv for investigation and
Mr. Day mihmlttcd an opinion In which he
stated that he oellovcd the requiring of
a bond of that nature to be against public
policy nnd void ; that the work was of a
public nature , and such action would be
delegating to private Individuals duties
which devolved upon the commissioners asa
'
a public body. This opinion 'was very care
fully burled out of sight and another of
the assistant attorneys was asked to draw
up the bond.
Commissioner Stcnbcrg , who has been the
most ardent supporter of the move to re
quire h bond to bo furnished to protect the
county , admits that It is a' mere matter of
form and that the county could never re
cover a dollar on the bond In case property
owners should win damage suits against the
county on account of the grading. He con
tends , however , that the moral Influence of
the bond would be such as to prevent
property owners with Imaginary damages
from bringing damage suits. He argues
that suits would be brought against the
county by persons who' would not start a
suit It they thought a few Individuals would
have to stand the loss. The proposed grad
ing being Inside the city limits of South
Omaha , Mr. Stenbcrg says the , county has
no right to appoint appraisers to fix the
damages caused by the grading , whereas the
law requires that appraisers shall be ap
pointed before grading Is done. He cites the
Taylor case on West Leavenworth street as
an Instance of how It works. Tayjor was the
owner of a lot on Leavenworth street , west
of the Holt line railway , on the south side
of the street. Inside the city limits of Omaha ,
The north side of the street is outside the
city limits at that point. The street was
graded by the county without expense to the
property owners , but without appointing ap
praisers because the commissioners had no
power to do so. After the grading was done
Taylor sued the city , the county and the
Individual commissioners who were In office
when the work was done. He recovered
judgment In the sum of $000 against the
county. Stcnberg's point Is that If the
county had had an Indemnity bond In that
case the moral Influence of such a bond
would have prevented the suit being brought.
Stenberg Is supported in this view by
Commissioner Williams , who also favors the
requirement of a bond.
On the other hand , Commissioner Klcr-
stcad takes the position that the work i Is a
great public Improvement and that It is un
reasonable to ask a few of the heavy prop
erty holders In the city to assume all the
responsibility of giving a bond for $10,000
when the whole city Is benefited , and he
favors waiving the requirement of a bond
nnd going ahead with the work as soon as
possible. He says that It Is absurd to re
quire the south side property owners to
give a bond which Is admitted to be Illegal
and that such tactics are simply obstructive
and useless.
Chairman Jenkins coincides with Mr. Klcr-
stead and favors going ahead without a
bond , owing to the Importance of the work.
Mr. Hector also favors the work without
requiring a bond and stated before he went
to Chicago that ho would vote to recon
sider the resolution requiring a bond 16 be
given before anything was done.

It WOE u question of veracity between

hey , In police court yesterday morning.
Prothman was arrested on a warrant charg
ing him with committing assault and bat
tery upon the lad , As Hawley bore a big
scar on his cheek as an evidence of the
encounter his story was given the greater
credence and Porthman was lined $10 and
costs.
Thu trouble was alleged to have occurred
near Nineteenth and Center streets , where
the two parties live as neighbors. The
starting point of the row was somewhat obscure -
scuro , but It developed that the lad had
thrown brickbats ut Protbman , as the lat
ter alleged , and then Prothman retaliated
by throwing the boy on the ground and
beating him wrth a whip. One of the
strokes struck the boy on the cheek and
caused the scar.

all who will desire to hear him , the local
Volunteers are now soliciting among the
people of the city for money with which to
hire suitable quarters. They expect to re
quire a large hall , as Dr. Palmer has al

crowds.
It Is hinted that Dr. Palmer may make
this city his permanent home. This Is In

"What do you plead , guilty or not guilty ? "
asked the Judge , somewhat Irascibly.
Rupscll did not answer , but smiled again.
The Judge was thinking about beginning
contempt proceedings when l.iisscll motioned
for pencil and paper.
"I am deaf and dumb , " wrote Russell.
"Oh ! " responded the Judge , and 'then
he wrote :
"Did you use any loud or profane language
yesterday ? If you did how did you do it ? "
"Oh , no , " wrote back Russell , "I did not
use any profane language. I must acknow
ledge I was a little drunk , but 1 am sorry
for it. "
Hefore Judge Gordon had sufficiently re-
Mvcrcd his equilibrium , he discharged
Russell.

"My baby , Irma Hope , was weaned when
she was but six months old , and for three

But by fortune 1 met a lady on the ferry
boat between Jersey City and New York who
had a sweet little child , and I spoke to the
mother , and asked what food she lived on.
She remarked , lactated food. I said that I
had intended to try another , but would try
lactated food. I Mil so , and from that time
to this the little one has thrived wonder

have had her with me now had I not used

THE CRAZY TIME. . .
This is the lime of the year when the stores that
have been getting tenth story prices for fourth story
goods are conjuring up all sorts of excuses to make
people believe that the prices are now on the ground
floor and that they arc practically giving the choice
goods away. That's why you see so many "stock
taking sales , " "inventory sales , " "alteration sales , " w
overburdened sales , "enlargement sales" and
mark clown sales under one guise or another ,
as if the public were a lot of blanked fools who
like to pay double in April when they can get the w
same goods for half in July. We never resort to such w
tricks. We never charge two dollars for what we can
sell for one. We never insult your intelligence by J
trying to make believe that we are selling goods for W
less than we paid for them and we never find any ? S
necessity for fake sales cither in January or July. Wise . . .
merchants don't ' do business in winter for the sake of 'r
losing money in summer and wise people don't believe ) S
that they do. Every day during July or anv other -
month we will sell you the best white shirt in th-j mar-
kct for 850. We will sell youjthc best negligee shirt , ffi
laundered , for 750. We will seTTyou the best soft shirts ) S ?
of their kind for 35C , 450and 65C and we will give you ;
your money back if you can match them for the same ' *
money at any of the tomfoolery sales. We never go 1 $
crazy in July. -
