that Instead of Moores owing Douglas

ones that are causing the delay.
Wo como Into court this morning , nnd

COUNTY ATT011NEV WANTS FACTS.
County Attorney Daldrlgo said the county
was ready and willing to commence a suit
to determine whether Moores owea the county
or the county owea Moores , and the only
reason the bringing of a suit had been de
layed was hccaus ? the county was not able
to say Just how the matter stands. Ho said
that In the petition originally filed by At
torney Covell It was stated that forty-eight
dockets had been checked , and that six more
remained to bo chfckrd , and It was evident
from that that the checking had not been
completed. 'Mr , Daldrlgo Insisted that before
a eult should he commenced and before the
county could make a demand for the full
amount duo It should know approximately
the full amount to be claimed.
Mr. Daldrlg9 said he could not consent to
Mr , Wharton'u request that the writ issue
unless a stipulation was entered Into on
behalf of Moorcs , waiving all formalities and
protecting tlio county's right to amend Its
claim whcn'over It may bo found that the full
amount to bo claimed by ths county should
1)6 Increased. Ho said the county was not
, . defending Moores , and If anything was due
from Moorca to tbe county lie should pay It ,
and ho said ho would not consent that the
writ should Issue unless a stipulation was
entered Into by Moorw , waiving all demands
on the , part of the county ,
Mr. Wharton readily agreed to this , and a
short recoM was taken , to allow the stipula
tion to bo drawn ,
The stipulation na agreed to and filed In
the case uos as follows :
It Is hereby stipulated by and between the
parte | ? In this action that any and all de
mands required by law to be made by the
plaintiffs on the defendants preliminary to
tlio bringing * of this suit bo and the snmo
ore hereby waived for any amount which
the plaintiffs may claim to be duo to them
from the defendants on account of teea ,
peimltli'S , unclaimed witness fees , un
claimed advance costs nnd any other mon
eys claimed to bo duo to the plaintiffs for
tnemspjvps or for the school fund of the
county of Douglas from Frank K. Moorc-3
us clerk of the district court of Douglas
county , Nebraska , during hla term of olllce
as said clerk.
And It la further stipulated and agreed
that at any time prior to the trial of the
above entitled case that the plaintiffs
iereln ) may BO amend the petition filed so
aa to Include any additional amounts , If
any , which the plaintiffs may think to be
due from Frank K. Moores , clerk , and
which amounts at the present time may
i not bo known definitely and accurately by
the plaintiffs In this suit.
And it Is further stipulated and agreed
that no legal or technical advt-ntagc shall
be claimed on account of the county or
Douglas commencing a suit at once ag-.ilnst
said defendants. ,
The nbovp. action being for such monevs
accrued to the
ns are claimed to have
schbol fund of the county of Douqlas , it Is
further stipulated and agreed that this
action will not In any way prejudice the
county of Douglas from commencing any
other action against Frank K. Moores upon
any claims generally which It may claim to
have imalnst the said Frank 13. Moores ;
nor shall It prejudice the rights of Frank
E. Moorps to commence suit against the
county of Douglas for any claim which he
may have generally against the county or
Douglas and which ho may not sot on In
It Is "further stipulated and agreed that
the waivers herein mentioned in no way
bind or prevent the Bald Frank E. Moores
from making any nnd all proper legal de
fenses to the merits of this case or cases
that may bo brought.
Tills stipulation having been filed an
alternative writ was Issued and all formalities
waived by the county attorney , ho waiving
all the rights of the county to further time
and the writ was returned at once. There
but all technicalities
was no evidence presented ,
ties were done away with and everything
done that could in any way expedlto the
"matter.
.A peremptory writ of mandamus was then
Issued by the court , directing the county to
commence suit against Moores for the money
alleged to bo duo the school fund. No
amounts were stated , as the county does not
know the amount to bo claimed from Moores.
A petition will bo filed at once in the case ,
setting up In a general way that certain
fees have been Illegally retained by Moores ,
and this goreral allegation will bo amended
whenever the county Is In a position to make
a definite claim.
IIANDKD TOtJKTIIKll VOR SPOILS.
i\o Oilier I'rliu-liilc Uncle of Fiinlon lu
TIilH City.
A rousing republican meeting was held In
IdlowIId ball at Twenty-fourth and Grant
streets last night. Every seat In the hall
was occupied when City Commltteenian
Ilurgcss called the gathering together shortly
after 8 o'clock. There were half a dozen
speakers , Ircludlng District Court Judges
Fawcett and Slabaugh , and County Attorney
H. H. Daldrtge. The two latter had made
no speeches in the campaign before , but
they both stated that they bad felt called
upon to raise their voices In order to Influ
ence republican voters as much as they could
to como out and vote for the republican can
didate for mayor In the Interests of good city
government.
Judge Slabaugh took occasion to dispassion
ately and logically dissect the record Howell
had made In the legislature. Ho stated that
llo'-ell had aesUted in ousting the repub
lican legislators who had been duly elected ,
and Instanced particularly the case of Sen
ator Evans. Judge Slabaugh showed that
this was clearly a political echeme , Inasmuch
aa noccKsary amendments to the existing
city charter , and even the new city charter ,
could have be-on passed as the popocrats al
ready had a majority In the legislature. Howell -
ell , however , desired that the bill should
pass with the emergency clause In order
that ho might ride at once into the mayor's
seat. To do this a two-third vote was re
quired , and as only one vote was necessary
Evans \vus ousted In order to get it from his
successor.
FIRST STEP TOWARD ANARCHY.
Judge Slabaugh severely criticised the en-
dre aitlon , saying that It made his blood
boll when ho considered it , and therefore felt
called upon to take at least a small part
in the campaign. He stated that it was
tampering with the -will of the majority and
was the fitet step toward the undermining
of tbe government. U was causing extra ex
pense because of another unnecessary elec
tion , It was overriding even the belief of
Governor Holcomb , who has said that it wa
not right for a man to hold olHco under a
law which he bad himself created. In view
of this record Judge Slabaugh denounced
Howell's candidacy , ( Moreover , lie looked ,
with suspicion upon the whole fusion move
ment , not only because Howell was at tin
head of It , but because the manner in whlct
the elcmenta in it had divided up the office :
Indicated that they were not working foi
some principle but were in it oolely for thi
spoils. Therefore ho insisted that the entire -
tire ticket should be defeated. He urged
too , that the republican nominees should b <
re-elected because they had been elected foi
a longer term than they had been permittee
to servo.
County Attorney Daldrlgo also Inslstet
that the fuslonlsta were banded togotbci
not for good government but for the spoils
of office. The manner In which the police
commission was appropriated Indicated this
the republicans being given no representa
tlon , although they should bavo had it ac >
cording to law. The speaker maintained thai
the new charter and the coming election !
wore but a part of a further attempt to placi
the populists in control of the city.
PEOPLE'S VOTES STOLEN.
Mr. Daldrlgo then turned his attention tt
Howcll. Ho stated that a man who stole
property was sent to the penitentiary , bul
Howell , who bad stolen the votes of the people
plo and had therefore disfranchised them , hot
the nerve to ask that his course bo endorsee
by election. While working this nefarious
political conspfracyHowell had failed In his
duty toward the exposition , for which ho was
elected to advance , AH his pet measure ;
passed nicely , but the exposition approprla
tlon was kept In the background. This Indl
cated that ho was ready to sacrifice the pub
lie welfare for private Interests. Mr , Dal'
drlgo also arraigned Howcll for his vote or
the gambling bill. Ho said that the voten
ought to see to It , regardless of party , thai
a man who had voted for such a vicious bll
should be retired Into obscurity.
Judge Fawcett stated that a man who wai
false In one thing would bo false again
Howell had been elected to the senate to gel
a suitable appropriation for the exposition
Ho had been false to this trust. When nakec
about the status of the bill ho always wantce
to know what the Inquirer would do for tin
charter. The speaker therefore believed thai
when Howell waa elected he had It In hi.
heart to perpetrate the. charter outrage otnl
nothing else. If he had kept hla pledge am !
an appropriation had been passed earb > In tin
session other states would have followcil
suit. , Dut the appropriation had not beer
passed until other legislatures had adjourned
and the exposition had therefore been placed
In jeopardy.
TO HOODWINK THE VOTERS.
Judge Fawcctt maintained that the emer
gency clause was attached to the charter bill
simply for the purpose of having the elec
tion before the people would bo able to gel
onto tbo scheme. In order to force the elec'
Uon Evans had been unseated. The speaker
spoke of this action as a "rape upon the bal
lot box. " He said It was no light thing
when tbo will of the people was thus set al
naught. It was undermining the government ,
because the government could not exist when
the expressed will of tbe people Is not en
forced.
The speaker denounced the whole thing an
a scheme to placer the populists In power.
Another part of it was the appointment ol
a populist police commission and the pro
posed appointment of the three populist mu
nicipal court judges , who might just as well
have been elected at the coming election ,
Judge Fawcett predicted , however , that the
fusloulsts and populists would find that while
they might bo able to force the charter and
the rest of the scheme on the people , they
would find that they could not force upon
the Omaha public the man who should en
force It. In conclusion , he compared the
two mayoralty candidates In favor of Moores.
Among others who spoke were Councilman
Denawa. Charles Winter , John N , Westberg
and Major Miller.

lara. Dut If It sTioulci bo otherwise , If this examination should demonstrate the fact that
Mr. Moorcs Is indebted to tlte county , I believe Just as firmly as I believe that 1 am
standing liore , that when that balance Is oscrtalned Mr. Moorcs will step up and give
his check for It llko the honest man which I hellevo him to be. I have known Mr. Moorca
well , I know hUsceporous hoartedncja , I have watched him closely while In office and
have obnervaUjflm slrtco ho has been out of office. I feel that I am as well Informed
as any attorney practicing at tlio bar of this county as to the condition ot his affairs ,
and I say , .lijdlsay ft sincerely , that I believe Frank E. Moorcs to be an honest man.
Every falr-njlnded citizen will say , wait until the county has completed Its ex
amination of ttfei books of Mr. Moores and then If nuy balance Is found due and he falls
to pay it over U will then time enough to ralso the cry of fraud , robbery and embezzle
ment.
ment.Mr.
Mr. MooresJ management of this Important olTlco demonstrated that ho possesses
executive ability ot a high order. Ho Is a man of genial disposition , of pleasant address
nnd well fitted to represent this great city In extending Its welcome to the people who
shall visit us durlnK'tho exposition of 1893. Ho is qualified In every particular ; In my
opinion ho la an honest man , and I see no reason why any citizen of the city of Omaha ,
whether ho bo a churchman or otherwise , should hesitate to cast his vote for Mr. Moorca
for tlio high office of mayor.

A small 'crowd of fuslonlats assemhled I :
Boyd's opera house last night to attend wha
was advertised tb bo n grand rally of th
fusion forces. It "was nearly 9 o'clock before
fore there wero' euough' people1 in the hous
to make any kind of % showing , but aboli
that time Foreman Drown of the stree
cleanlug gang marched his full force o
men Into the house In a body and then th
audience was scoured for a few men to mak
a showing on the stage. After 'this hai
been done D. D. Gregory called the meetlni
to order and Introduced W. S. I'oppleton.
Mr. Poppleton opened his remarks by stat
Ing that the fusion ticket contained tin
names of capable , honest and efllclent men
who stood for good government. Ho sail
the Issues of the present campaign were o
vital Interest to every citizen , It belni
a question as to ho\r far the franchlsed cor
poratlons should control the city government
The speaker charged that the last repub
llcan convention had Insulted the peopli
of Omaha by not adopting a platform. Hi
then discussed at some length the tax levle :
during the paat five or six years , saylni
that under Cushlngj the- levy had been verj
much lower * thjan'"at any time since tha
period , but hc-TOadl no reference to the hugi
legacy of debcleftjby Cushlng's admlnlstra
tlon , tinder \\lilch the city has since beet
laboring. He'ileclarcd ' , 'however , fiat It wai
necessary no\r io have the greatest econom ;
lu city affalrsMu order to meet the Indebted
ness of the city. Ho spoke about thi
"searchllght"aha wanted It turned on.
HOWELIrPHBNOMENAL , PULL.
The speake 'thlen spoke of Howell's legls
'
latlve record , f 'According to tha , speake'i
Howell had aJSsolufc control over the legja
ature. Bvery measure 'that was pissed tfia !
affected Omaha in any way was said to IK
duo to HoweH , aud every measure of till :
Iclnd was decfared "to be most emphatlcallj
for the best Interests of Omaha. IlqwcU'i
struggle wlttoithorj exposition -Jilll agalnsl
great odds % \as referred to by the speaket
; n tho"mosV graphic manner , and < hd over.
WenVso 'far ' as tt asstert'that Ifillowoll hud
not exercised his tremendouii Influence wltli
; ho legislature 'tp securp the passage of the
qxpositlon bill that bll ) would not have beer
passed , and Uie exposition would then have
jeen hopelessly Svrecked. The other legls-
atlve acts affecting- Omaha were referred
to In detail , as it was claimed that these
were all due to Howell. Judging from the
remarks of -Poppleton , Howell 'was ' the
only man on the Douglas county delegation ,
the others being mere figureheads.
In conclusion the speaker ipromlsed that II
the fusion ticket Is elected the water works
would become the property of thocity. . He
also assured the-audlenco that , this election
was going to be a "fair one , " as a "non-par
tisan board" has charge of the police force.
Attorney General Smyth was the nexl
speaker. He made a vpry flowery speech , Ir
which ho dealt principally In glittering gen
cralltles regarding th.e honor attached to tin
mayoralty. lie rofened to the old adast
hat "a man Is Icnown by the company lit
seeps , " but ho cither thought better of It , 01
forgot to apply it to his friend Howell , foi
10 tried another , tack and talked about tin
maximum freight , rate cases , and the default.
nu state officials ; Then ho Injected a large
sized dose of alleged humor Into his remarks
and Invented several little pleasantries re
garding Colonel iMoores , which amused th (
audience greatly.
Mr. Smyth sought to defend the rape of tin
ballot as accomplished by the legislature ai
the" Instigation oftho only man on the Doug
as county delegation. Ho read the reporl
of the committee , which found that then
was not sufficient groiind for ousting the toui
3ouglas county members of the lower house
iut ho read only a portion of this report
omitting the finding of the committee.
In conclusion , the speaker lauded Howel
moit extravagantly until Howell , who wai
sitting on the stage , asked "Jim" Dahlmat
to feel whether , Ws , wings were sprouting.
STnBHT GANG HEARD FROM ,
At the conclusion of Qlr. Smyth's talk tin
street gang , under the Instruction of Fore
man Drown , called loudly for Howell. Thi
Ambler's friend ro&e heavily from his chali
md advanced to the front of the stage. He
ooked slightly the worse for wear , and hli
voice was husky 'and tired. Ho spoke verj
briefly , saying ho wanted to be mayor , am
coLcluded by saying the republicans shouU
tavo nominated Droatch Instead of Moores
Io asked the people to vote for htm and tlier
eat down.
Ed Smith was then called out from tin
wings and told the audience that ho hat
gone Into the tlast campaign because In
wanted to better his financial condition , III
said he had got what ho went after , bul
lid not dlvulgo just what ho had secured
Io also said the candidates on the fuslor
Icket were tliero for the sajuo reaaon , Aboul
his time ho 'itQOkiaitumblo" and commenced
o talk state politics.Ho kept to his line ol
talk until justetwfbro ho closed , when In
commenced to Ml If1 , Voter works. Ho told
the audience ( hit1 If the fusion tlckot was
elected , the pfctyiM would own the watet
vorks , and notjlil"tlbt hava to pay any taxes

lost fall stumped the state In company with
W. J. Dryan for Howcll and the other popu
list candidates. Ho Is not supporting the
fusion municipal ticket , although he an
nounces that he still believes in the princi
ples of populism. He says , however , that
the nominees are too rotten for him to sup
port. Ho spent/ / the greater part of the win
ter In Lincoln , and the reason for his refusal
to support Howell , Hansom & Co. Is that he
na\v proceedings at the state capital on their
part that would bo revolting to any decent
man.
Among other things he said : "Three weeks
ago I attended a. meeting of the Jacksonlan
club. There had been brought Into the meet
ing In order to make sure of Howell's ratifi
cation n number of populists drawing salaries
from the state treasury , from Columbus ,
Grand Island , Kearney , Lincoln , Wahoo and
Hastings. Dy actual count there were In
that meeting thirty-six of these Imported
atate employes and only twenty-four taxpay
ers of Omaha. Those who opposed Howell
were barred by an executive session of the
city central committee , which lasted from
8 o'clock until 9:30 : o'clock. Then the packed
meeting accepted the committee's report and
endorsed Howell.
"I am a populist , but I can't stand that.
What right has Howell to our support ?
What has he ever done for Omaha or Ne
braska that he should receive our votes ? We
promised' the people last fall that If they
would elect this man to omco hewould
make laws for their good. Instead he has
violated nil pledges and worked only for the
bills that were against the Interests of the
people of this city. Howell is ignorant and
vicious. " If you try to talk with him , just
touloarn "how little he really knows , he will
pull out his watch and suddenly recall that
ho has an engagement elsewhere. He Is
mentally nnd morally unfit to be mayor , and
ho would bo especially bad to rule over the
city during the exposition. He has mis
represented us In a shameful manner.
Everything that Omaha wanted he had so
fixed that it could not be used for a long time
to come , while things that Omaha did not
want were secured for It right away by use
of the emergency clause. I know Howell is
a bad man , and I urge all good citizens to
vote and work to defeat * him. "
The other speakers dwelt en the issues of
the campaign , praised Moeres , who appeared
to have many friends In that end of the
town , and predicted the election of the entire -
tire republican ticket.
I.ust of the \\Vok.
The last meeting of the week at the re
publican headquarters was held last night ,
and as has been the case at all the meetings
a now lot of faces wore present. There
were but few speeches and the meeting soon
resolved Itself into committee of the whole
on the best methods of getting the voters
out next Tuesday. The Interest manifested
was encouraging.

Wlnspear Is also plugRlng for Howsll among
Ma political supporters.
As Wlnspear and Street Commissioner
Knspar constitute a majority of the Doan
of 1'ubllc Works , they have been able to carrj
out their program without hindrance. Chair ,
man Munro admits that the functions of the
street department ars being abused , but says
that according to the charter he has no au
thority to discharge the men who are en
rolled on the atrcet gangs.
It Is well known by the men connected
with the street department that Foremau
Drown and Subforeman Doual.uo arc In
charge of Howell's campaign In that quarter
and liavo been "promised that they will bo
retained on the pay roll If Howell Is elected ,
They are consequently using their positions
In How ell's Interest , and during the last tow-
days every mun In the department \vbo was
known to bo for Moores has been discharged
to make room'for a Howell shouter.
Only the other day Brown approached a
gangof men who were working at Forly-
slxth street and Ames avenue and asked them
who they were for for mayor. Three or
tour of the laborers said - they were for
Moorcn. Nothing was said at the time , but
the next morning when the men showed up
at the tool house every man who had declared
for Moores vaa Informed that his services
\vero no longer wanted.
PADDING THE PAY ROLLS.
Others who are being manipulated for
political purposes are the pavers who have
aeen working at Fifteenth and Chicago
streets. This gang consists of four pavers
and three laborers and they occupied three
Jays this week In laying one-half of an
ntersec'lon. This work could have been
easily done by one man In the same lime.
The fact that the men were not wet king
was reported to Chairman Munto and he
laid five or six visits to the place. He nays
.hat ho foiml that the charges wore true.
Not more than one or two men were ever
working at one time , and they seemed to be
: rylng to kill time. Ho at once ordered
Foreman Drown to discharge the whole gang- ,
but , secure In the backing of Kaspar and
Wlnapear , Drown paid no attention to the
order and the men are still working.
It Is also established that during the last
month the pay rolls of the street department
have been systematically padded. The books
of the city comptroller show that one-half
of the entire annual levy for the curbing ,
guttering and cleaning fund has been ex
pended during the past month. In round
numbers $10,000 Is the amount that has been
spent under the direction of the street de
partment slneo March 1 , and the greater
part of this amount was expended Just before
the republican primaries and since the strecf
force has been turned. Into an engine to
ivenge the defeat of W. J. Droatch. From
March 1 to 27 , the street department coat
M',875.54. The. pay roll for tits week ending
i\prll 3 aggregated J2.248.52 , and that for the
, veok ending April 10 was f2.GS0.90 , The
; rand total expended up to 'April 10 was
! 9,804.9C. The first of the week the street
: ommls9loner was ordered to reduce the force
; o twenty-five men. This was o&tenslbly
lone , but as a matter of fact , only the Moorca
Tien were dismissed and a lot of Howell
oluggers were employed to nil tli9 vacant
) laces. The gang of which Dill Ellis was
toreman was laid off and Is still unemployed ,
jut scores of men have been worked by
Donahuel and other foremen who are tted up
vlth Howell.
The records of the board show that
lonahue Is now drawing f8.50 a day from the
: lty. Ho ban his own salary as foreman
Irawu by J. C. Donahue. One of his teams
Iraws $3 a day under the name of John
) onahuc , and his other team is at work , but
: ppears on the pay rolls under the name of
3agan.
It also develops that a largo number of
non drew pay during the Broatch campaign
i'ho never made a pretense of working for
he city. For Instance the name of Thomaa
"hompson appears on the pay roll for $12.
Us name Is entered on the gang of which
mdy Wiggins was foreman. Wiggins de-
lares positively that no such man worked
nd he further states that ho was ordered
iy Brown to Include the name In his pay
oil. Brown admitted , that the man was not
working , but lold Wiggins that hla name had
boon ordered on the pay roll by Chairman
Munro. Munro statre positively that ho
never gave any such order and never knew of
such a man us Thompson until ho saw hla - -
nnmo on the pay roll ,
.MILKING THE TREASURY.
This la only one case otjnany In which the
public treasury was milked to pay Broatch
workers who never even pretended to work
for the city. About the time when the name
"Thompson" wns fraudulently entered on ( ho
pay roll Foreman Brown entered Street Com
missioner Knepar's private office , where the
foremen of the various street gangs were
walling for orders. One of the men who was
present Is authority for the statement that
at that tlmo Brown produced a list of men
whom lie said had been ordered on the pay J" > -
roll by Chairman Munro. Ho divided this '
list between the foremen , requiring each fore
man to enter a certain portion of Miff names
on his pay roll. Not one of those men was over
cen by the foremen and not one of them
Worked for the city In any capacity Curing
that time. Chairman Munro sajs that Brown
acted entirely without his consent or knowl
edge ami that the first he heard of the matlcr
wns when ho became suspicious of the pay
rolls and made an Investigation.
Some of the charges mentioned heretofore
were brought officially before tlio board by
CliKlrman Munro at a special mretlmt
yesterday forenoon. Mr. iMunro declared
that ho had positive evidence that something
was decidedly wrong In the street depart
ment , and that ho would not stand It. Ho
cited the fact that one foreman had himself
and two teams drawing pay besides. Street
Commissioner Kaspar eald that ho did not'
know It , . but would attend to the matter.
.In explanation of the soldiering of the pav
ing gang , Kaspar stated that the men had
been called off at various tltnos to work at
other places. Munro declared that ho had
taken particular pains to loo' < up the matter
and ho knew that the men had not been
working. The matter was dropped there ,
Kaspar stating that It thcro wcro any abuse *
lu the street department ho was not aware
of It , and he would look the matter up.

The Fifth Ward Hepubllcan club held on
enthusiastic meeting at Sixteenth and Man-
dcrson streets , the hall being well filled ,
every scat occupied , and a fringe of voters
occupying standing room on three sides of
Iho room. William Asqultli , president of
the club , presided , and the speaker of the
evening was Phil Winters.
Mr. Winters went after Howell's ' record
from the very start of his speech , taking
up Howell's ante-election pledges and cotn-
mrlng them with his record In the legisla
ture. He laid especial stress upon the fact
that the people of Omaha did not ask for
he charter which was drawn up for How
ell's especial Interest and shoved through
the legislature by main strength. Ho
showed that the republicans of Omaha had ,
a. year ago last November , elected a full
set of city officials and that a populist legls-
ature , composed of men from distant parts
of the state who had no sympathy with or
nterest In Omaha , deliberately forced the
jassage of the charter In order to legislate
republicans out of office and give populists
ind their allies a chance to get in. The
peaker also asked a few pertinent questions
n regard to Howoll's personal record. Ho
showed that by Howell's own admission
hat he had "gone broke" after spending
675 to secure an election to a $309 ofllco ,
ind then went to Lincoln and voted to uu-
cat Senator Evans for the alleged reason
hat he had used money In his campaign ,
vhllc the evidence showed that Evans had
lot spent nearly so much money as Howell
aad. He declared that Howell's action In
otlng to unseat Senator Evans was an In-
ult to the 9,000 republicans who had voted
or Evans , and also showed that while Evans
ad received the highest majority given to
ny candidate for senator , Ilowjll voted to
nseat him and give his place to Jcffcoat ,
vho had received the lowest vote of all
ho men running for the senate.
When Mr. Winters had finished his ad-
ress A. J. Davenport ) president of the
forth Side Howell club , created something
f a sensation by getting up and making
straightforward talk In favor of D. H ,
hrlstle , the republican nominee for the
louncll. Mr. Davenport said that the North
itde Howell club had eighty-four boua fide
uembers on Its rolls and that a large ma-
orlty of them were for Christie.
Mr. Christie was called for. Ho spoke
cry briefly , saying that ho had still another
neetliifi to attend. Ho said ho was willing
o stand by his record since ho had been
. member of the city council and was per-
cctly willing to accept the judgment of
ils follow citizens of the Fifth ward.

OMAHA , April 17. To the Editor of the

alter of David R. Buck , In which lie at-
icks the integrity of Frank E. Moores ,
harglng him with wilful extortion of court
? es and refusal to repay the same. This
i.in Buck Is one of the class that are
oundlng Frank Mooren , when In fact they
ught to bo glad to keep out of the papers ,

You choose the old doctor before the young one.
Why ? Because you don't want to entrust your life in
inexperienced hands. True , the young doctor way be
experienced' But the old doctor must be. You take no
chances with Dr. Maybe , when Dr. Mustbe is in reach.
Same with medicines as with medicine makers the
long-tried remedy has your confidence. You prefer
experience to experiment when you are concerned ,
The new remedy may be good but let somebody else
prove it. The old remedy must be good judged on
its record of cures. . Just one more reason for choosing
AYJSR'S Sarsaparilla in preference.to any other. It has
been the standard household Sarsaparilla for half a cen
tury. Its record inspires confidence 50 years of cures.
If others may be good , Ayer's Sarsaparilla must be. You
take * no chances when you take AVER'S Sarsaparilla.
Still have doubts ? Send for the "Curebook. *
