TAYLOR OUT IN A NEW ROLE
Scheme by Which Ho Ilopoa to Hotaln His
Official Position.
HE JOINS HANDS WITH THE POPOCRATS
llnvN ( Mr Hie CUy Tli'ki-t In
the HlKlKli AViinl mill Will
I In * Hnci * for tlio
City Council.
Coilet Taylor , who was n candidate for
Iho council and was turned ilown at the
republican city primaries , and who received
another defeat at the hands of the city
convention n day 'atcr. has wlgRlcd so hard
to Ret out of tils agreement not to nin as n
republican for the council from the KlBhth
ward that nt last he seems to have found
Iho way * In order to do so , however , lie
has been compelled to change his politics
and run on the democratic ticket. Such
Is a well authenticated rumor tlmt wao
prevalent among n few politicians yesterday.
In order to put the plan through It was
necessary tc Induce the democratic nominee
of the ward , J. II. Davis , to withdraw his
name and It Is said that this has already
been done. Tuesday Davis confided to a
friend that ho had come to the conclusion ,
that lie had no earthly show against Tom
Crocker and had no'money to spend In the
effort to secure an election. Therefore ho
had di-trrmlnrd to get off the ticket and
leave the field for some one else.
For the past week or more Taylor has
been laying siege to Davis' store and It
was confidently predicted by the politicians
Hint Davis was playing the part of the coy
maiden , for ono day he would tell his
friends that ho would not withdraw from
thu ticket and thc next that hla chances
were so poor that he was sure that ho could
not be elected.
With Davis off the ticket the next step
In the plan will lie to put Taylor on. A
prominent politician ot the free silver party
when questioned on thc matter said :
"I presume that Taylor will be put on the
KlKhth ward ticket. I see no objection to
that because I have always favored non-
pnrtliansblp In municipal elections. Taylor
will certainly win. Ho will hold his own
republican following and will also capture
the Irish vote , which won hi otherwise have
gone to thc regular democratic nominee. "
I'rlor to thc republican primaries Taylor
made on agreement .with the fcur other re
publican candidates In the Klghth ward.
This agreement was tu thc effect that each
should abide by the result of the primaries
and should make no further run for the
council. Kach of the five , Taylor Include. ! ,
elgned this agreement In black and white.
Taylor affixed his name In the firm be
lief that he would win at the primaries.
When Tom Crocker beat him out , however ,
another phase was put upon the matter. He
did not then hesitate an Instant In go
ing back , upon the agreement ho had made.
Ills first attempt tu siUlrm | out of It was
made In thc republican city convention , but
that was a flat failure , as he was turned
down worse than at thc polls.
It was then that Taylor made his first
overtures to the democrats , It Is stated
that the proposition was made even then
that ho be placed on the popocratlc ticket.
Thc deal went so far that It was the In
tention to present his name to the con
vention as the Eighth ward candidate , but
at that time the deal with Davis could not
bo consummated and Davis held the key
to thc situation , ns he was thc choice of thc
primaries. Therefore Davis was allowed to
secure thc nomination.
Since then Taylor haa been feeling his
way toward running as an Independent
candidate. Secret meetings have been held
at his house , at which his chances have
been discussed In detail. Thc apparent con
clusion , however , seemed toV be that his
following In thc ward would not bo able
to boout him to victory If Davis remained
In the Held.- The only way out of the dim-
culty , therefore , was to Induce Davis to
withdraw and to corral thc democratic ; vote
for Taylor.
VI8UY ANXIOUS TO IHI.V FOR

William Albtadt filed n protest with thc
county clerk yesterday against the action
of the republican county central committee
In appointing Oeorgo Cockrcll as the repub
lican nominee for the vacancy In the ofllco
of justice of the peace. Thc main ground
of the protest , as published Tuesday , la
that the county committee was not author
ised by the convention to till vacancies
which might occur on the ticket. It Is
also alleged that Alsladt U entitled to thc
appointment by virtue of the fact that he
was nnmlrntcd first by the convention
There arc other minor reasons urged In mip-
port of the protest. The rounty clerk ban
Riven notice that ho will hear arguments
on the protest at L p. m. toJny.
In order to bo on the safe sldn , Alstadt
has also filed with the county clerk a nom
ination by petition for the vacancy , so that
ho will go on the ticket regardless of the
decision of the clerk on the protest.
The resignation of C. E. Fields , ono of
the populist nominees for justice of the
peace , has been filed with the county clerk ,
thus leaving George Wlttum as the popu
list nominee. It Is also expected that George
Holmes , jr. , wll.1 withdraw. , Holmes wan
nominated by the democrats and his with
drawal loaves Charles Urandcs as the dem
ocratic nominee.
Under the ruling of the county clerk , holdIng -
Ing that the certificates of all of the parties
wrro void In so fur as they relate to the
ofTIco of juMlcu of the peace of Omaha , It
will bo necessary for the various central
committees to proceed the name as In the
ordinary case of a vacancy on the ticket
and appoint n man to till the vacancy. The
republican committee has thus appointed
Cockrt'll and the democratic committee has
appointed Drandes , although the certificate
of thu latter'a appointment has not yet
been filed with the clerk. So far as known
the populist committee has taken no ac
tion In thU direction.

"The State of Nebraska ex rcl Victor Ho o-
water against the City of Omaha nnd
Hecchcr lllgby , City Clerk , " IB the title of
n case brought before Judge Kcysor yes
terday afternoon for the purpcsc of compel
ling a compliance with the law rcejulrlnK
the publication of thc boundaries of voting
districts In two newspapers having a gen
eral circulation.
The case was sot for hearing1 nt 2 o clock ,
but upon request of the city attorney It was
postponed until 4:30 : o'clock In ordir to af
ford him time , to look up authorltlci.
Shortly after 3 o'clock City Attorney Con-
ncll called at thc olllcc of thc rclator and
In the presence of n third party attempted
to Induce him to withdraw his suit on prom
ise that th > > advertisement would be ordered
printed In The Hoc , but without the list ot
precinct boundaries as required by law.
Needless to eay the kind offer was not ac
cepted.
The contention of the relater was that
the law clearly specifics that n detailed
description of thc voting districts must be
published In two newspapers on thc day
before each registration day , the law being
ns follows : "Tho boundaries of all election
precincts , nnd the location of all places of
registration , or revision ot registration , shall
bo publicly advertised In nt least two news
papers published and of general circula
tion In said city , In the last Issue of each
of said papers selected preceding tlio first
day of any general registration , or revision
of registration , and one notice In the last
Issue of each of the papers so selected prior
to each day of registration or revision of
registration , and on such days only. " H
wcs shown that the city council had directed
the city clerk to publish only the location
of the voting booth and thc times of regis
tration , Ignoring entirely the requirement
regarding publishing thc description of thc
boundaries.
The city attorney appeared for the city
nnd said thc action of thc council had been
taken nt his suggestion , and he said there
was no necessity for publishing the lengthy
description of voting districts for the reason
that every voter In the city knows the
boundaries of the district In which he lives
and knows where to register and that , there
fore , thc publication required by law was
an unnecessary expense. He stated that
there was not enough money In thc treasury
to pay the salaries ot city ofllclals , nnd thc
expense of advertising could not be borne.
The city attorney 'also took the ground that
thn law did not enjoin upon thc city clerk
thc duty of publishing the notleo In ques
tion nnd that It was not a part of his
duty to do so , nnd It was therefore asserted
that thc suit was not properly brought.
Judge Keysor took the matter under ad
visement nnd gave notice that he would
give his decision thU morning.

H has leaked out that thc action of the
city council In refusing to receive the
mayor's communication , withdrawing John
T. Clarke's name nt the last meeting bcforo
the city primaries , has caused a serious
disarrangement ot the plans of the council
combination , A councilman , who Is known
to bo on thu Inside , Is ; authority for the
statement that up to that time It wns
definitely understood that after Clarke was
turned down thc mayor would appoint J.
H. Wlnspear as chairman of the board. In
return for this concession thc local corpora
tions that had been mnklng a vlgcrous fight
against Clarke were to turn In and effect
the re-election of Mayor Ilroatcli. But
Mayor Ilroatcli- wanted the Clarke matter
decided at once , and certain councllmcn were
equally anxious that It should be held over
until after the primaries. The result was
that the mayor broke over the traces , nnd ,
It Is said on thc same authority , that he
has now refused point blank to appoint
Winspcar.

of.llnnry Inducements to do It.
In Uio IIrut place It Is necessary to con
vince the people that substantial savings
can actually bo made , thut thu bargain ad
vertised Is really and truly a bargain , and
a bargain such as under no other possibility
cunld uxlst.
Such In fact has been the method pursued
jy the Orchard & Wllhclm Carpet Co. In
their great pro-election sale of every slnglu
article In the store. So thoroughly have
hey convinced the public that thc sale Is ,
Joyoml all question , genuine that Instead of
abating It grows more popular as each day
lassc-s. Morn goods arc sold this day than
: hu ilay before , and why not ? When n
juycr , who Is any Kind of judge of carpets ,
secures for 8Sc a yard such staple and
world renowned carpets as the Alexander
Smith & Son's moqucttcs , In all the new
SO designs SSc a yard. Carpet dealers can't
buy them wholesale for ICES than 87 > ,4c and
ovcrjbody knows they retail lor $1.16 to
J1.33.
Tapestry Drusscls from such carpet mak
ers as Alexander Smith & Sons , Stephen
Sanford's Sons , Iloxbury Carpet Co. , great
quantities of patterns ; goods that no house
ever sold under SOc to $1.00 , are going at
this sale at CGc a yard.
Ingrains , 3-plys , body Brussels , nxmln-
sters , In fact , all carpets arc being retailed
until November 3 no later at less than
the minufacturcr'fl cost.
Think of genuine cocoa doormats at ,15c ; or
20-Inch square sofa pillows at 3Gc ; or 50-Inch
tapestries for portieres at CSc.
And think of the best linoleum , that never
sells for less than $1.00 In thc east or west ;
staple as wheat , at CSc ; and then think of
a full sized cotton top mattress of good
ticking at $1.90.
Such prices as these , made on goods of
which every one knows Iho value , arc very
convincing and the success of the sale Is
duo entirely to this fact. Thc people bc-
lleve In It , because they know. After that
everything comes to him who advertises.

Chairman Caldwell of the Transcontinen
tal Passenger association has taken up thc
Investigation of the cut rate tickets that have
been offered by local brokers for second-
class trips between hero and the Pacific
coast. It Is known that either the Hurl Ing-
ton , the Colorado Midland , thc Rio .Grande
Western or the Southern Pacific has been
'paying generous commissions to the Omaha
brokers , and It Is commonly ( supposed thai
the Midland Is "the colored man In the wood
pile. " This suspicion Is sticngthcned by
the fact that Chairman Caldwell sent for
George W. Rlstlnc. receiver and general
manager of thc Midland , the other day , anil
told him that appearances were very much
against his road , and that such practices
as dealing with brokers and paying com
missions to outsiders must bo stopped at
once. _ The general manager promised to
shako : up his passenger department and to
warn them against further tricks of that
nature.

Thc action of the city council Tuesday night
In voting to pay the Ilarber Asphalt company
$31,305 , practically thc full amount of Its
long-disputed claim , was thc subject of much
unfavorable comment , on the streets yester
day. Part of this claim Is outlawed under
the statute of limitations , and Us collection
has been turned don by five successive
councils. The reasons why thc claim has
never before been allowed arc well known
to the majority of taxpayers. Thc fact that
thc company refused ? to repair the streets
as ordered by the Hoard of Public Works
has never been disputed , and over and over
again thc council has refused to pay for
work that was never done. Hut Tuesday night
thc bills wcro reported by Chairman Ken
inrd of the finance committee with a recom
mendation that they bo paid after a reduc
tlon of 8omcthlng > ovcc $1,000 had been made
and the report was adopted by a vote of 13
to 14.
It Is not entirely settled , however , that
the effort to secure the payment of the
claim will succeed , [ The matter has been
secretly worked up for several weeks post
and according to the vote..Tuesday night thc
Ilarber company hag enough votes to pass
the concurrent resolution , closing the deal.
Several of the members who voted for thc
committee report , however , now assert that
they voted for It under a misapprehension
and that they will assist In having It recon
sidered.
Councilman Axford , who voted for the re
port , has filed the customary notice of a
motion to reconsider at the next meeting ,
and he and Mercer declare they 'will '
vote to reconsider. Whether they will suc
ceed or not Is doubtful , as thc Harbor people
have apparently enough votes to prevent a
reconsideration. On the- other hand , unless
the situation changes , those who oppose thc
'claim can prevent thc passage of a concur
rent resolution carrying the recommejida-
tlons of the report Into effect. In this
exigency It la Intimated that the mayor Is
In favor of allowing the claim , and that
thc city attorney may cjanfetH Judgment In
the case on thc authority of last night's
action of the council , and without waiting
for the passage of a resolution.

The government marshals , aided by de
tectives of the Union Pacific railway and
of the Pacific Express company , arc said to
bo on a hot trail of thc robbers who suc
cessfully help up the Union Pacific's fast
mall at Ulntah , Utah , last week. A man
was arrested at Spokane , Wash. , on Tuesday
night with upwards of $200 worth of postage
stamps In his possession. It Is believed
that he Is connected with thc Ulntah affair
and that he knows of thc whereabouts of
moro valuable matter and Its possessors.
Superintendent Hancroft of the Union
Paoific's mountain division , under whose di
rection thc search for the robbers Is being
conducted , Immediately telegraphed for a
complete description of the man arrested.
The officials In this city have not yet heard
whether the description tallies with that of
the man seen by the conductor and engineer.
Chief Canada Is now out In that country
himself , and has taken charge of the search.
Some Interesting news Is looked for from
him today. _

to get out of the country and then escape

The courts have been called upon to set-
tin Another -squabble between contending
stockholders In a corporation. In this case
Frnnols D. Cooper hns secured an order
from Judpo Kcysor restraining Henry Llve-
noy nnd Mark Hnnsen from doing certain
things which ho alleges nro for the pur
pose of freezing him out of n corporation
In which they nro nil directors.
In his petition Cooper stntes that ho Is
the owner of n patent process ot making
brick , known ns the continuous kiln pro *
ccsi. Ho say a he owned nit the stocks In
a corporation organized for the purpose of
pushing the process nnd nlso owned n nnjf
Interest In n company called the Grand
View llrlck company , which owned twelve
lots In Grand View addition , In thc south
eastern pnrt of the city , on which wore
erected n number of buildings , nit valued nt
$50,000. On this property there wns n mort
gage for $5.000 nnd unpaid tnxes amounting
to $1,500. The mortgage wan In process of
foreclosure nnd Cooper states Hint ho sold
the defendants , Llvescy and Hanscn , n two-
thirds Interest In this property , the agree
ment being , ns he alleges , that the property
was to be foreclosed nnd then the defendants
wcro to pay off the mortgage nnd taxes nnd
have the property deeded to the Continuous
Kiln company
Cooper alleges tlmt he has only recently
discovered tlmt Instead of having the prop
erty deeded to thc Continuous Kiln company
the defendants had the property deeded to
themselves as Individuals , nnd ho further al
leges that only a few days ago Llvcsey
conveyed a half Interest In thc property to
thc Rrlck Manufacturing nnd Ilulldlng asso
ciation , n corporation composed of the de
fendant Ltvescy , nnd his sons. Cooper al
leges that thc latter deed contains nu ex
pressed consideration of $500 , but ho chnrgcs
tlmt there was no consideration. He prays
the court to compel the defendants to deed
the property In dispute to the Continuous
Kiln company nnd asserts that unless this
Is douo the defendants will transfer nil the
property of thc Continuous Kiln company to
the now urgnnlzntlon nnd thereby defraud
him of all his Interest In the concern.

C. H. Evans , traveling salesman for P. H.
Halght & Co. , local grocers , and Henry C.
Templar , one of the members of the firm
have begun suit against a number of Sweet
Springs , Mo. , merchants for $10,000 damages
each , for false Imprisonment.
The oults grow out of the arrest of the
two men on December 20 of last year. They
were canvassing for the firm In Missouri
taking orders for goods directly from the
farmers and others. Tills aroused the Ire
of local merchants , who maintained that
the firm wan violating the state law b >
falling to take out a license.
The case came to trial last March and
the court dismissed It. It was held tha
Inasmuch as the grocery firm was Jocatci
In Omaha and sold goods on orders and not
directly , It was not compelled to take out
a license. It wan held that they had the
same rights as drummers who solicited or
ders from merchants.

We may not have the "swellest" Overcoats in
town. We may not have the highest priced.Vc
may not even have the lowest priced , but we have thc
best thc most-for-your-moncy best and we have in
finitely thc most styles. What makes an Overcoat thc
kest' ? ut "Nebraska" Overcoxts
' _ .e - alongside of
others and you may not sec the difference to bagin with
but in thc course of time you will. Nebraska Over
coats wear better , hold their shape better and look bat
ter in the long run than any Overcoats at the same
price. It is wisdom to get all you can for your money.
It is wisdom to buy as cheap as you can. It is wifclom
, to get as much as you can and pay as litt'e as you can ,
but it very is poor wisdom to overlook wear. Nebraska
Overcoats have got to wear. We haven't got an Over
coat in our house that we can't guarantee to wear and
we have them as low as $3.75. Our $9.50 Dress Ker
sey is a marvel of style , goodness and wear.
