, Oct. 29. ( Special. ) To all ap
peal micen tlio fusion state campaign lias
turned Into a veritable rout , anil none of
their politicians who como to the capital city
now havu tlio tuincrlty to predict a victory for
Sullivan. They admit , now that It la too
late for remedy , that there has been no ys-
toiu to their campaign and that organlratlon
In sadly lacking. For this state of affalra the
leaders arc being rounlly denounced , and tlio
declaration Is often openly made that on ac
count of his mismanagement of the campaign
Chairman Kdtnltsteii has lost all chances for
jio'.ltlcnl preferment In the future , The gov
ernor has also bueu severely criticised for
Ms mistakes during tlio last few weeks and
Ills gpccchmakliiK out lit the western coun-
tlcn has lessened the confidence of a great
many. They say that hy going out in the
populist strongholds to make spcoc.ies and
explain his olllclal acts hehtually admits
that there Is great danger that populists aru
going to holt the ticket. They feel tint It
would liavo looked more like an aggressive
campaign It hu had gone Into the eastern
countlcn where both population and business
Intel CHtii arc larger.
Around republican headquarters a feeling
of confidence prevails The campaign ban
been iiulutly pushed , and the work has
not been allotted to flag a moment.
Information received by the leudcrs
this afternoon and evening from rella-
Mo somcc's Indicates that the state
is saMly icpubllcan on the state ticket
nnd that thi.ro will bo a largo gain In county
ollii'lslB n\cr the state. At republican head-
qiiiilura U ls rlalmcd that I'ost will have
a safe majority. At fusion headquarters
there Is ninth depression tonight , and while
a feu days * ago they made a big blult at
offering big odds on Sullivan , tonight not one
of them can be found who will put up a dollar
lar at even money. 12x-Attorney General
J.OOEC , who has taken no part In tha cam
p 11,511 slnco thu convention , hut who has
circfully Investigated the situation , sajs
that the republicans will surely carry the
ntate.
'the fusion managers secured the Lansing
thrnicr for tonight and advertised a grand
rail ) with ( he or six speakers of local
prominence. Only one-thlid of the sea's were
occupied and the enthusiasm was sadly lack
ing The meeting fell very Hat and wus a
dlsapp Intmcnt to the managers.
Another complication whkh has added to
the bad condition of the fusion campaign
Is 110 Intense rivalry between the would-be
candidates for congress In the First district
There are at least four men doing campaign
work this year who arc active candidates for
the congressional nomination next , year , and
each Is doing hlu best to damage the others
To do this they have Interfered with each
other's dates , endeavored to present people
from attending meetings addressed by a rival
and havu 'In reality lost sight of tlui present
situation In their anxiety to build up their
Individual chances for the future. RJmlsten
has been blamed for favoring ono of these
candidate : ] , and In the scramble all pretence
oC organisation In thu district has been cast
aside.
FRANTIC HUSTLD FOK FUNDS.
One amusing thing In the campaign here
la the despairing cry of the fusion managers
for funds. Letters have been sent to the
olllcohoU'ers all ever the state asking for
donations of money , and lu some caees face
tting letttrs are scut to republicans. All
the cirplo > es at the state housu as well as
at the various state Institutions have been
obliged to pay one assessment , and now an
other has been called for. It Is understood
that a largo proportion of the clerks have
declined to pay the second assessment and
that they luuo Intimated that too little of the
money Is being expended in a judicious man
ner and too much of it is going into the
pockets or the managers.
Follow Ing the attempt of the popocrats to
ncscss a republican olllclal in Hall county
comes the nous of a similar effort out In
Sheridan county. J. E. Drown , district clerk
at Hushvllle , an ardent republican , received
n letter from Mart Ho\vo which said : "Deal
Sir As the committee IIlids that the funds on
hand will not bo sulllclpnt to carry on the
last week of the campaign wo would ask
that you fund us your check for as much as >
you Mil at once and oblige " Mr. llrovvn sent
the letter to republican state headquarters
and < wrote as follows :

RXAM1NRH nnYNOLDS' CLAIM.
The claim of Examiner Reynolds for ser
vices rendered while In charge of the dc-
[ untt Merchants' bank was before Judge
Holmes this morning , and a number of wit
nesses wcro Introduced to show that too
much had been charged. Ilcynolda had
chaigc of the bank thirty-one days , but did
not examine tha books or keep the doors
open to the public. He took J323 for his
liouble , Which was nearly all the cash there
was In the Institution. The charge had been
made that the examiner had only been at the
Ixtnk three days , spending the balance of the
time nt Murdock , where he was also drawing
( ay for looking after the affairs of another
suspended bank. Mr. Schilling testified that
lie was appointed receiver of the bank on
Monday , but was unable to secure possession
until Thursday , because Reynolds was out
of the city. '
Judge. Holmes took occasion to excoriate
the old banking board and the now ono for
the negligence displayed lu permitting thin
bank to remain open so long. Ho cald tint
the excuse given by the prcaent board for
allowing Reynolds to stay In thirty days
without having a receiver appointed , when
It must have known , had the bank exam
iners done their duty , that the bank had been
insolvent for a year before It had been closed
up. The excuse Iven by the b-nrd was that
the bank officials were before It asking foi
delay , as they desired to reorganize and re
open. The court thought It must have been
very evident that the bank had no idea of
reopening , because of Us absolute Insolvency
He thought It was too bad that the board
permitted Institutions to run when their con
dition ought to have been known to It.
DORSHV OH TUG STAND.
The federal court spent a lively day In
the Dorscy case. George W. G. Dorsey , who
was on the stand for the defense jcsterday.
was subjected to a cross-examination which
lasted almost all day , and the case ls now
reaching a point where Dorsey and Hlgglns
fall to agreo. Tnc government spent much
tlmo In endeavoring to get the v\liners to
throw some additional light on the overdraft
which Is alleged to have been friudulcmlv
contracted by Dorsey 'Brothers ' , and which
amounted to about $8,000. The government
alleged that the comptroller of the currency
had been jacking up the ofllcers of the bank
on account of the large amount of overdrafts
and that a report had been ordered by the
comptroller on March Ifi , willed should Include -
cludo the business done during the time from
tin last report and March 0 , 1S93 The gov
ernment claimed that on March 17 , the day
after the report had been ordered , Dorsey
Brothers got $20.000 from two Sioux City
banks , the State National and the Security
National , and that this $20,000 was at first
pliced to the credit of DarEcy Brothers The
claim Is further made that half of the $20,000
was later credited as on March 3 , fourteen
daya before tie money was actually secured ,
that It WBB placed there eo as to offset some
of the objectionable overdrafts , and that
later ( after the report had been sent ta the
comptroller ) the money was checked out ar > 1
used by Dorsey Brothers.
Mr Saw > or exhibited the books of the
bink which showed that on Marci 17 a credit
of S20.0QO was placed to Dorscy Brothers.
This llguro was later changed to $10.000 , and
among the transactions of March 3 was Inter
lined a credit of $10,000. On the dally balance -
anco register appeared a peculiar htato of
affairs. On March 3 the receipts or deposits
had been Increased by $10,000 , while the de
posits on March 17 were Increased by a like
amount , but between March 3 and March 17
the balance showed the discrepancy , no
ciangcs having been made In their totals
The defense objected to the asking of wit
ness about these transaction } on the ground
that It was not proper cross-examination , but
the court overruled the objection Witness
then denied any knowledge of the changes
or Interlineations In the books , saying that he
had never heard of them until he himself was
tried before Judge Dundy a couple of jcars
ago. A deposit slip dated March 17 was
shown to Mr Dorsey and he was asked to
atato whit It showed Ho replied that It
said $20 000 had been received and that the
$20,000 had been changed to $10,000. He said
ho did not know In whose handwriting the
slip was that his brother's writing was so
similar to Hlgglns' ho could not distinguish
llieni. IIu bald , howtver , that the $10,000
wib put down by a different person from he
who wrote the original slip The government
clilms that the .120,000 was used by Doiscy
Broilers , but a half of it was temporarily
used to offfiet some of the overdrafts
At the close of George W. G. Do-sey's tes
timony this afternoon the court adjourned
until next Wednesday.

straightening nut this tangle * that a revision
of the lire is being1 eonsnleied.
According to the blue print the proposed
line Is moved north at Thirty-seventh street
about fifty feet In order to strl'te the center
of Grover ttreat , and thlf continues to the
belt line tracks. Between the belt line and
the houlevaid the distance the line has
been moved North Is about sixty feet. From
the boulevard to the Union Pacific tracks the
line goes south about fifty feet and this con
tinues until Lament st'rcet Is reached at
Twenty-sixth street. Fiom Twenty-sixth
street the line rumj through Lament street
to Twenty-fourth street.
There Is also a plan , to do away with
CIonMrf precinct and place It In either
Omaha cr South Omaha This precinct lies
on both sides of Thirteenth street Its mos *
westerly point Is at Fifteenth street In South
Onuha , the easterly po'nt t Tenth street In
Omaha ; F street on the north and midway
between II and I stree'e on the south About
thirty-five acres are contained In the pre
cinct
City officials here are In favor of changing
the boundary line so as to straighten it out
The proposed line gives neither city the
advantage , and en this account It is thought
that the plan will go through. As for Clon-
tarf precinct It Is thought that this terri
tory should be added to the possessions of
South Omaha as It Is entirely surrounded by
this city with the exception of the eastern
end.

11UPFALO , N. Y. , Oct. 29. Miss Frances
K. Wlllard , president of the World's and the
National Woman's Christian Temperance
union , called the twctity-fourth convention
ot the organlrMlon to order lu Music hull
today. Miss Wlllard staled that the crusade
bible was held up by the customs officials ,
end for the flrat time she was unable to read
the crusade psalm from It. "Such Is the
brotherly love between nations , " she added.
The psalm was then read rcsponslvcly by
Miss Wlllard nnd the delegates.
Many of the women who had seen actual
service In saloon crusades accepted Miss Wll-
lard's Invitation to scats on the stage. Mrs.
Mary J. Weaver , missionary at Hrooklyn ,
offered prayer and the crusade hymn , "Give
to the Winds Thy Feus , " was rendered by
the delegates.
Mrs. Clara Q. Hoffman of Missouri read
the roll call of the olllclal members who are
the state presidents , correspondents and re
cording secretaries and tieasurcis.
The executive committee reported Its con
slderatlon of a plan of finance presented by-
Mrs. Marian II. Baxter of Illinois , the feature
of which was an appeal to local unions for
$2 each , 30 per cent ot the proceeds to go
to the state department In which the collec
tions were made and to appoint assistant
financial agents to work Iti states under pi
mission from state offlccia. The report
! j showed that the executive committee hnd
i held part ot Its session as a. committee of the
I whole. The business of the committee of
the whole was not ictforted nnd It was sail
i that It was at this session that the Chicago
temple matter was discussed. The repot t of
i the executive committee was adopted.
Miss Wlllard then delivered hei annual ad
dress.

FIRST SOCIETY rOIlMKD.
The Ilrst to il abstinence society In this
country was organized In 1SOS In the mighty
I Empire state whoso second city has wel-
I comc-d us bo warmly. It was founded In
i More.ni , Saia oga county , that most
< famous ot all cold water counties In
.the world. In whlci thlity-two years liter
the Ilrst national temperance convention
1 met , with our own Mis. Eliza Thompson as
I the llr t woman ever present on a. similar
! occas'on. 1 s pledge called only for the ipay-
I Ing of a line in case n drink wore taken ,
with the exception of "Iralnlng day and the
'Fourth ' of July. " That pledge 'was framed
by Itev. I.ebbeus Armstrong , a doctor of
divinity , and Ulllle J. Clark , a doctor ot
medicine , and they put their heads together -
| gether for this purpose , because their min
istrations to the people were rendered
'comparatively ' useless by the well-nlsti
universal drinking habits then prevailing.
I That was ninety years ago , and the prime
object of these good men in taking the
pledge was to encourage o.her men , who
( unlike themselves ) wcie under the bjn'-au
of drink , to let drink alone. IJut the
certainties of bcierco have wrought a
revolution In the motives that now make
men teetotalers without any pledge at all
It Ib the Innate and inalienable instinct of
faelf-preservatlon
THE MODERATEDItlNKBK
The Mtpremo duty of the hour Is to con
vince the moderate drinker that he is doing
himself harm If only thU bi-ll'f were gen
eral , mon would soon become a law unto
themselves , to such a dcpree that statutoiy
enactments would be but the outwaid c-x-
prts loiib of an inwaul giace. Upon the
sullen fortrebs of model ate drinking the
artillery of the temperance icform must
concentrate In future years. It has been
an Inca'eulable gain to make duiukc-nnefn
a dlsprac-e Instid of an amiable pecjlhrlly ,
as It was 100 years ago , or u pardonable
peccadillo , as It was 111 the memory of the
oldebt Inhabitant , or a necessary evil , in it
was a gene-ration back. The forces that
have worked to this end are precisely the
b.imc that musl now be directed against so-
called "moderation " We- must htoutly
maintain the position that there Is no mod
eration in the use of what Is haiinful.
Happily in taking tills position we have
"great allies , " of which tin' gicatest Is the
dictum of the modern sciences.
The grc-atcat sorrow of the year to most
of us was the- defeat of the arbitration
tieaty between England and America So
heart sick were we when the announcement
c.inus that wo overlooked the fact that thu
treaty having been hlgned with enthusiasm
by our president and the I3iltlsh mlnlsler ,
forty-tinuo senators east thi'lr votes for its
ratllieatlon , while twenly-slx voted no , the
pity of It being tnat we luiulred two-thirds
to carry It. but let It never bo forgotten
that the senators rc-piebciitliig the historic
states of the union all voted bolldly for the
trealy excipt Pennsylvania , of all olhers ,
whohe foundation stones wcro laid by Wil
liam I'er.n. than whom no greater friend
of peace has lived since Iho Founder of
Christianity.
THE PIIESS.
Each year the press becomes a greater
power , moro people read and public topics
are more generally discussed I can remember -
member when It was considered hardly
polite to menilon the newspaper at home ;
me-ii never leferiod to It cxc-npt i.vhen they
talked with men , but regaled their women
tolk with stale jokes , atrocious puns and
airy nothings in the bosom of the family
circle. Tiose women lead the papers now
as well as moil , and though certain old
school editors main nln that "their eyes
arc glued to the department especially m ide
and provided for thorn , " tint fact Is that
those very eyes take In nil the terrltoiy
there Is to bo possessed Kvery topic1 Is
opc'ti to their tinders1 titi'ilng , so that the
reading force of the country Is practically
tvvlco as IniKV as It was when the cms ulc-
beg.in , Indeed , It is-qulto possible that t.ic
eagerness of many an anxious woman to
know what that solf-samo vrusido wan
doing may hiive been her Ilrst lesson In
nn.vspapc'r reading What we now nec-d to
do was lira , suggested at our veiy Ilrst
convention put n pre-emption claim uoon ,
thu press to spread the temperance propa
ganda.

It H a grim way of reckoning to anticipate
more of thtbo barbaric proceedings before
110 birthday of the I'rlncu of I'i ice , but
alas , wo have abundant vvamint to believe
tli y 111 go on
Our point of view does not permit us to
" ' Ink with a moment's toleration of the
regulation . -fide of this most odious of all
personal sins , because , aa l.uly Hcmy
Some-rsot reminds us , we In America have
practically no standing army ; we have no

measures which rccognlro the sin as some

Experience.
A womnn's body is tlio repository of the
[ most doHcnto nioclianlsm in tha vvholo
runhn of ctvatiun , niul jut most women
w ill let it get out of order nnd keep out of
order , Justus If It were of no consoqucnco.

burn ; they have wandering pntna , now hero ami
now thero. They experience extreme lassitude ,
that don't-caro \vant-to-be-lcfl-nlono fcolhiff ,
excitability , irritability , nervousness , sleepless
ness and the blues , yet they will go about their
work until they can scarcely bland on their poor
swollen feet , and do nothing1 to help themselves.
These are the positive fore-nmnors of serious womb complications , and unless
given Immediate attention will result in untold misery , If not death. '
Lydla E. Pmkhams Vegetable Compound will , beyond the question of a
doubt , relieve all this trouble before it becomes serious , aud it has cured
mnny after their troubles had become chronic.
The Compound should bo taken Immediately upon the appenrnnco of any of
tlicsosymptoms above enumerated. It Is ti vegetable tonic which invigorates
nnd stimulates the entire female organism , and will produce the same bcnc *
flcial results lu the case of any sick woman as it did with Mils. CHAS. KIN , 1815

" I write th jso few lines , thanking you for restoring my health. For twelve
years I suffered with pains impossible to describe. I had bearing-down feelings ,
backache burning sensation in my stomach , chills , headache , and always had
black specks before my eyes. I was stfrnid to stay alone , for I bomotimcs had
four nnd five fainting spells a day. I had several doctors nnd tried many pat
ent medicines. Two years ago I was bo bad that Iliad logo to bed and have a
trained nurse. Through her , I commenced to take Lydla H. Plnklmm's
Vegetable Compound , and 1 never had anything give me the relief that It has.
I have taken eight bottles , nnd am now enjoying the boat of health again. I
can truthfully bay it has cured me. "

" York " "review" of the
"In Gay New , a
theatrical successes of several seasons ago ,
whl h will bo remembered as having played
an engagement hero at the close of last year's
political campaign , ciiencd another last night
at Ooyd's. It has ap.wcntly lost none of Its
thirst exciting qualities , for a largo part
of the audience is regularly driven to drink
between the acts. What It has lost , however ,
Is a number of the clever people who gave the
piece Its strongest calm ! on popular favor
when It was new. Walter Jccics Is gone ,
and the noisome I'oy shambles about in his
stead. There Is no fetching llttlo Lucy
Daly , and no David Wurfleld , although Yorko
and Adams do a very creditable Yiddish act
There Is the usual and expected combination
of a tramp and a bicycle , the amusing if
vulgar double "turn" of Gregory and Cur-
ley , and the Inevitable wholesale clinical
demonstration of female anatomy ; and the
bandits' chorus In front ot the Waldorf hotel
remains ono of the gems of the performance
The audience In general was vastly pleased
with what It oaw. Some wore heard io aver
tlat "In Gay New York" Is better this year
than it was last. Hut It Isn't not by ( sev
eral parasangs ,
There will bo a matlneo today , but no
evening performance.
"Sowing the Wind , " the best olay we have
had from the pen of Sydney Grundy , Is a
drama that has perhaps been a source of
moro discussion than any dramatic production
seen In late yeirs It is In four acts and Ins
for Its main theme the soc'al Inequality of
the sexes , namely , the unlimited Held for
man's moral diversion , and the small world
Id which our women must live , to keep hi
the good graces of society. This pay ! will
bo presented hero nt the Crolghton Sunday
afternoon and evening.
The thlid and last of the Ilurton Holmes
lectures will be given this evening at the
First Congregational church. The subject
Is "Cycling Through Corsica. "
