Judge Kcygor yesterday refused the ap
plication of Henry Osthoff for a writ of
mandamus compelling the city clerk to put
hid name on the official ballot as the demo
cratic candidate for the office of councilman-
Bt-larRo to nil the vacancy caused hy the
death of Samuel Dubola. This , decision will
leave Daniel II. Wheeler In undisturbed
posrtosslori of- the office to which he wa
appointed by the city council until the first
Tuesday In January , 1897 , and the names
of Henry Osthoff , the democratic nominee ,
I/CP YatcB , republican nominee , and Daniel
O'Connell , popt'lUt nominee , will not ap
pear on the official ballot at this election.
In passing upon the case Judge Koysor
quoted the section of the charter providing
for the election of councllmen-at-large and
all city officers , except ward councllmen , In
the odd-numbered years , to serve for two
yearn. Ho also quoted the section Riving
the mayor and council power "to provide
for filling iruch vacancies as may occur In
the office of councilman or other elective
offices of the city. " The judge stated that
where the mayor and council were given
'the power to fill a vacancy ho doubted the
IIOUCP of the court to compel them to do so
In any particular manner. The mayor and
council had passed an ordinance providing
how vacancies should be tilled and had actcc
within their powers.
Judge Kcysor also said that he did no
hcllcvu the election to bo held this year
was a "general city election" within the
meaning of the law as applied to cities o
the metropolitan class. He quoted the char
tcr us showing that the general city clcc
tlon In thlfl city occurred In the odd inim
bored years. He also referred at length to
the decision of the supreme court In the.
case brought hy William Scxauer to ous
Truman Iluck from the office of city trcas
urcr In 1882. The Judge said the case re
forrcd to was un exact parallel to the ca o
at bar. Samuel 0. Mallctlc was electee
city treasurer In April , 18S1 , for two years
and died December 31 of the name year
Truman Uncle was appointed to the office by
the mayor and city council , and at the ncx
election , held In April , 1882 , without any
proclamation hy the mayor or action of the
city council , votes were cant for Wllllan
Sexauer and 0. W. Doano for treasurer
Bcxailcr received a majority of the votes
cast , but Buck refused to surrender th
office. Scxaucr carried the case to the su
prcino court on quo warranto proceedings
and It was decided against him. The cour
held that "where the election Is one that th
authorities may or may not hold , at thcl
option , and they decide against holding the
name. Individual citizens must acquiesce. '
It was alfio held that there wai "no nu
thorlty for the voters of eald city to fill a
vacancy In the office of city treasurer with
out a resolution , of the city council or proc
tarnation of the mayor for that purpose. '
Ill parsing upon the case the supreme cour
also held that the election held 'In 1882vn
not a "general city election" for the election
of a rlty treasurer ,
, Judge Kcysor said ho would follow th
rule * thus laid down by.the supreme cour
and would deny the application for a urli

If there- had been any doubt that evcr >
voter In Omaha proposes to exercise his
right of suffrage next month It would have
been nettled by the results of the first two
days' registration. Four of the seventy-six
precincts have not yet reported the rcglstra
tlon of Friday- but without these districts
the returns show that 6,795 voters were rcg
Istcrcd on the second day. This makes th
tptnl 16,330 and the four remaining district
will probably Increase this amount by fully
350. As the total registration of a year ago
was only 17,765 , It Is seen that the rcglstra

registration of last year. Following Is the

The city clerk has a fight on his hands In
the Second ward , \\horo August Schrocdcr
was removed from the registration board bj
the city council. Mr. Hlgby called on him
yesterday morning for the books , but ho
refused to glvo them up. Ho refused to ad
mit the executive power of the council , and
declared that when ho was removed sonic
one had to show cause. The city clerk re
ferred the matter to the city attorney , and
Schrocder Is still holding down his Job.

Leo Herdman , secretary of the popo-
cratlc state central committee , filed with
the county clerk at noon yesterday a formal
protest against designating tbo nominees
of the sound money democrats "as can
didates of the democratic party or with
the wcrd 'democrat' used In connection
with the names of any of said candidates
for the purpose of designating their politi
cal party. " Ho sets out a number of
reasons why the nominees for presidential
electors and state offices should not be
printed on the state ticket as "democrats , "
the grounds urged being substantially the
same as were urged before the secretary of
state.
County Clerk Iledficld refused to act on
the protest on the ground that the law
requires that the officer with whom the
original certificate Is filed must pass upon
a protest. He therefore endorsed the pro
test , "Not considered for want of Jurisdic
tion" and filed It among the archives ot the
county.
Mr. Herdman did not disclose his futilro
plans of action , but darkly Intimated that
legal proceedings would follow.

ECHOES OF THE ANTEROOM |
During the past week the grand lodge ,
of the Independent Order of OJd Fellows
and Its attendant bodies , the grand en-
campmcnt and the Rebckah assembly , met
In annual session at Lincoln.
The session of the grand lodge was the
thirty-ninth of Its history. It convened on
last Wcdnecday morning and adjourned for
the year on Friday night. There wcro In
attendance something over 300 members , ot
whom 235 were regularly accredited dele
gates to the body. Of the number 1C7 were
now candidates for the grand lodge , and
were duly Initiated Into the body. The
delegates represented 104 lodgro In the
state , which comprise u membership a 111-
tlo leds than 9,000.
In the t\\o days during which the grand
lodge was. In session a considerable amount
of business was transacted , but little ot
It was of general Interest or Importance.
The most Important matter was up In the
form of a resolution , which provided for
a change In the system of representation
from the subordinate lodges to the grand
lodso , but It was defeated by a largo ma
jority.
The reports of the officers were not as
flattering as they have been In past years.
No alarm Is felt at the condition , how
ever , as the same prevails In all secret
societies on account of the prevalent hard
times. All the delegates were hopeful for
the future because of the near prospect ot
more prosperous times.
The question of establishing an Odd Fcl-
lous' home In this , as In other states ,
came up again before the body In the shape
ot a number of offers of a location for lb.6
Institution. The financial condition of the
country , however , did not appear to the
delegates to be sufficiently bright for any
action to be taken.
The following officers were elected for iho
ensuing year : George W. Norrls of Beaver
City , G. M. : Charles A. Patterson of
Omaha , D. G. M.j J. E. Arnold of Schuylcr ,
G. W. ; I. P. Page of Fremont , G. S. ; Samuel
McClay of Lincoln , G. T. ; George L. Loomla
of Fremont and Gcorgo N. Bcels of Nor
folk , grand representatives to the suprohie
lodge. The officers were Installed by Past
Master Evans of this city.
The grand encampment convened on Tues
day morning and adjourned on the evening
ot the same day. The session was attended
by some seventy-five delegated who repre
sented the forty-six encampments In the
state. TL'c membership of the body Is-at
present In the nclghboihood of 1300.
Like the grand lodge session the grand
encampment was not flooded with Important
business. The chief matter that came up
was over the reduction of fees. H was de
cided to allow subordinate lodges , It they so
desired , to reduce the admission fco from
$12 to ? 6. This reduction , how over , Is en
tirely optional and the subordinate bodies
may keep the fee at Its present figure If they
wish. The matter of abrogating the bonc-
ficlary feature of the order entirely and re
ducing the admission fee to $3 and the dura
to $1 a } car was defeated. At Its last meet
ing the supreme lodge passed an amend
ment to the lans allowing thla to be done by
the state grand encampments If they de
sired.
The following officers were elected : N. B.
Helm of Omaha , G. P. ; L. A. Slinmonds , of
Courtland , G. H. P. : A. d'Allemand of North
Platte. G. S. W. ; Mr. Tcleyca of Tckamuh ,
G. J. W. ; I. P. Gngo of Fremont , G. S. ;
Samuel McClay of Urtcoln , G. T.
The lengthiest resslon was held by the
tblrd of the bodies , theIlPbek.ih assembly.
The body ccnvcacd on Wednesday morning
and did not adjourn until noon Friday.
The attendance was good , some 107 fcp-
rcEcntatlvcs being on hand. The number
d loJgcs In thc.state U 115 , which have a
membership close Upon 4,500.
The business before the body was not of
a very Important nature. The question of
the Odd Fellows Home was dlsciused at
some Icng'h , but no action was taken.
Probably the meat Important step taken was
the abandonment of the executive board ,
the- newly elected officers being Instructed
to act PS such board cx-officlo. The follow
ing officers wcro .elected : Mrs. Cora A.
Becls of Lincoln president ; Mrs. Belle Bal-
shaw of Lincoln , vice president ; Miss Mary
C. Spcrry of Beatrice , secretary ; Mrs. Mary
Stuht of Omaha treasurer , Mrs. Emma
Talbot of South Omaha W.
All the bodies decided to hold the session
of next yc.T In Lincoln.
Ono of the meat enjoyable features of
the gatherings was the icceptlcn given by
members cf Iho assembly to all the rep
resentatives of the bodies on Tuesday even
ing In the capltol building. The attendance
was over 300. The affair was of an Informal
social character , but a portion , of the evenIng -
Ing was spent In the enjoyment of a
HUM leal and literary program.

"Rob Roy" and the "Gathering of the
Clans" will bo presented at the Crclghton
theater , November B , 6 and 7 , under the
auspices of Clan Gordon of this city. Great
preparations have been going on for the
past two months. "Rob Hey , " which Is
adapted from Sir Walter Scott's celebrated
novel- bearing the same title , possesses
much Intrinsic merit , apart from Its hlatorl-
cat value as a study ot character. Consid
ering this fact , and also the proficiency ot
the players , as well as the wldo Influence
In this city of the members of Clan Gor
don , It Is oaff to predict audiences that will
tax the theater to Its full capacity.
The purpose of the play , ns.of the novel
from which It Is adapted , Is to Illustrate the
dlsecnstona which existed among the Scot
tish clans In thcmevcntccnth century , ami
more especially their unanimous hospitality
to Lowlandera and encroaching' Englishmen.
In the person of Rob Roy , the fearless ,
tender-hearted bandit who led the unyield
ing Clan McGregor , mtny of the most uteri-
Ing characteristics of the kilted warriors
and their numerous descendants are tot forth
and emblazoned.

Omaha lodge Is conducting a scries of
monthly entertainments In a unique manner.
The affairs are announced In the ledge
meetings and are not advertised In any other
way. No regular date Is set for them. Con
sequently such members as do not regularly
attend the meetings of the ledge have no
knowledge of them and they are therefore
stimulated to attend the sessions In order
that they may not miss the fun. One of the
entertainments wan given last month nud
was a great succcsu. This month's has not
occurred as jet. Similar affairs will bo given
each mouth through the winter.

pleas for foreign missions. She has been

teen years she was editor of the Woman's

There are many persons who do not buy
a Parlor Cabinet because they feel that the
first thing is to collect the contents for it.
That should go ahead of the purchase of
the Cabinet.
And yet , without their knowing it , nearly
every one of these houses contains the con
tents of a good sized cabinet. Scattered now
in a dozen places , here and there , their value
is unrealized , their beauty goes unappreciated ,
whereas , if collected together and rightly
displayed , each one would gain in dignity
and value from the presence of the rest , and
the whole collection be a notable attraction in
the house ,
This week is the chance of a lifetime to
secure a fine cabinet from our stock of about
two dozen elegant cabinets , which are included in our great re
duction sale that is now going on.
