Republicans of Douglas county will be
called upon ( o accept the county ticket as
nominated at the late county comentlou ,
with Its many admitted Imperfections , or
Bcratch It an their conscience dictates , eo
far as the action of the county committee
jenterday afternoon Is concerned. A resolution
elution providing that the committee go Into
executive session to consider the subject
of reorganizing the ticket was ruled out
of order without ceremony by the new
chairman of the committee and earnest
appeals to the committee to calmly face
the situation and remedy evils created
through the excitement of a convention
contest were without avail.
, The committee met at Washington hall ,
with only a few country precincts unrep
resented. It was called to order by Chair ,
man George U. Williams , who forthwith
followed custom by tendering his resigna
tion and that of Secretary C. F. Tuttlc , at
the game tlmo returning thanks to the re
publican workers for the
hearty cooperation
tion given these officers during the last
jear. .
Nominations for chairman were then
called for and D. G. Ilurbank of the Sixth
ward was elected by acclamation. In thankIng -
Ing the committee for bestowing the chair
manship upon him Mr. Ilurbank promised
In glvo his whole efforts to the election of
the entire ticket , bellevlne that the Judg
ment of the convention was better than
that of a few persons or of a less number.
Ho said ho had been associated with the
commltteo for several years and that three
years ago and one year ago the repub
licans had carried their full ticket to suc
cess and ho believed they would do so again
In the campaign this fall. He urged every
member of the committee to unite In workIng -
Ing for the success of the entire ticket as
prepared by the county convention.
TnrUer fop Secrolnri.
It required two ballots to select a sec-
mtarj. The names of Charles H Morgan
of the Elchth ward , P. A. Tucker of the
Sixth and W. A. Saussay of Clontnrf weio
presented. On the first ballot Morgan re-
tolved 23O'.CB , Tucker 22 and Saussay 6.
On the second ballot Tucker was chosen by
a votp of 31 to 10 for Morgan.
E. J. Cornish was chosen ns treasurer of
the committee by acclamation
The chairman was authorized to select
a new executive committee of nine mem
bers , seven from Omaha and ono each
from South Omaha and the country pre
cincts
Victor Ilosewatcr offered a resolution that
the committee go Into executive session , ex
cluding all outsiders , to consider the reor
ganization of the legislative ticket Chair
man Durbank ruled It out of order on the
ground that It was not germane to the
work of the committee , as the committee
had no power to take from or add to the
ticket unless there Is a vacancy. An ap
peal from the decision of the chair was
lOHl.
' The committee then adopted a motion to
ndjourn , but ab the membeis were getting
ready lo leave K. Rosewater naked that they
listen to u htntcment from him. This re-
k quest was granted , and in the course of his
. "remarks Mr. Rosowntcr said
"
> "There Is nothing In the lesoiutlon Intro
duced calling for an executive session of
the commlttro which would Indicate that
steps are to bo taken to sock the compulsory
retirement of any candidate on the ticket ,
hut there Is nlto nothing In the way of the
committee acting an a conference to Induce
certain candidates to withdraw their names
In the Interest of party success. There is
no laboring man on the ticket , and no rep
resentative of the largo German clement In
the county. On the other hand , there , are
six lawyers among the candidates. There
nr < 200 lawjers In the county who vote the
republican ticket , who are represented by
six candidates , while 11,800 other repub
lican voters are represented by six. Unless
the ticket Is reconstructed I can spe nothing
but disaster ahead of the party in the
county this year. "
AVImt Welmler Known.
When Mr Rosowatcr concluded there
were calls for .lohn L. Webster , who
promptly responded , and after sonic little
jollying of the committee , said "I know
nothing In politics hut republicanism. 1
have never fought against any nominees
of a republican convention , and never ex
pect to A republican convention is made
up of delegates supposed to represent the
republican party , and who are elected by
methods prescribed by law I think it un
fortunate that the Illness of the candidates
should be discussed In open meeting. These
who have grievances should air them In
private. It comes with bad grace for fault
finders to erltlcUo the nominees on the re
publican ticket when there Is a whole Us it
of democratic candidates against whom not
ono word has been said.

the boy's future , only
to have him killed off in the early years
of manhood by the dread disease con-
numption.
Until recent years consumption was con
sidered an incurable disease. Now it la
known to tens or thousands that Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures

stages of the disease. It also cures bron
chitis , laryngitis , throat anil nasal troubles
and all allied diseases of the air passages.
It is the best blood-maker and flesh-builder ,
the best general tonic and nerve restora

motes the flow of digestive juices , facilitates -

emolument and have nckrd nothing of the
party to the present time My hair may be
setting gray and my e > ca may be getting
dim In this work , but 1 will not let up until
all the candidates on the republican ticket
are elected.
"When a republican convention does lift
work and gives the list of Its nominees to
the public there Is no power on earth which
can take any of thoJo names off the ticket
without the voluntary action of candidates
themselves , and until that time comes It Is
unwise to discuss the availability of any
of the c-inilldatea. U Is not necessary for the
republicans to take their candidates from
any particular society or organiza
tion or nationality. for the re
publican party Is a great body of people
ple , believing In the principles of republicanIsm -
Ism and in upholding the hand of the good
president , McKlnley. The republican feel
ing In this county Is so strong that the
ticket will have 3,500 majority , and I be
lieve I havr the right to appeal to all re
publicans to unite In a fight against the
common enemy , the democratic party. "
CnrnrrlitK the ( 'linniplon.
Mr Ilosewatcr I do not agree with Mr.
Webster that there can be no change In
the ticket unless the candidate withdraw
his name , and I ask him If he believes that
If r , nun should bo nominated on the rcpub-
an ticket against whom , for Instance ,
hero was Indisputable proof ho was guilty
f burglary or murder , lip should be allowed
n remain on the ticket and risk defeating
It the other candidates' *
Mr. Webster' The committee has no power
o take from the ticket any man who has
lie credentials of the convention which
omlnated him.
Mr Rosewatcr- Suppose that Frank E.
toores had been RUllty of the offenses
harged against him , as alleged by the su-
ireme court and that proof of this was at
land , would not the committee have the
lower to remove him as a candidate If this
act became known after ho had been noml-
intcd ?
Mr. Webster The very charges against
Ir. Moorcs , adjudged to bo true by the su-
reme court , were publicly made against him
luring the campaign. But > ou supported him
hrough the columns of jour paper , and so
Id I by speeches made throughout the city ,
and I would do so again under the same
Ircumstances , if he were the nominee of
IIP republican party.
Mr RoBowatcr- But you did not answer
-iy question. There was awfdo difference
if opinion among men In the Moores' cam-
i.ilgn. It was a contention between par
ies. There was no proof that he Intended
o unlawfully k ? p any money belonging to
ho county , and personally I do not believe
low that he did so. Dut suppose that Henry
liolln , with his known shortage of thousands
f dollars of public money , should be nomi
nated' '
Mr. Webster. I have answered jour ques-
lon.
lon.Mr.
Mr. Rosewater You have not answered It
But there are other matters. Suppose that
charges of bribery to nominate a candidate
voro preferrexl Does not fraud vitiate all
compaots ? Cannot the committee take ac-
ion In a case like that ?
Mr. Webster. I have heard this bribery
charge before. To whom does It refer'
Vhen a man who pretends to be a republican
charges bribery against the republican party ,
t Is not crodltnblo to him and It Is not In
good grace nor honorable In Mr. Hosawater
0 make such n statement.
MVhMi-r IIM n I'rophft.
Mr. Rosowatcr I agree with Mr Webster
bat these are matters which should be ills-
cussed in a private meeting and the reso-
utlon Introduced hero called for an exrcu-
.ivo session of the committee. I want to
support the vvholo ticket , but there are
some things which I cannot do. I cannot
nako people bcllevo that wrong Is right.
It Is easy to say that the county will give
republican majority of 3,500. I rrmem-
: > cr ono tlmo that I told the state commit
tee that this county would glvo an adverse
majority of 5,000 for the republicans and
Mr. Webster took Issue with mo and as
sured the committee- that the county would
not glvo over 3,000 majority ngalnst u : , . 1
cautioned the committee It had better cal
culate on a majority of 5,000 against us ,
and the returns raised my flguies to 11,060.
That was in the campaign of 1S90. I know
it has been repeatedly charged that 1 am
tire-paring to nsk the legislature for favors ,
but that is not .so. I have no ambition for
olllco and am not a candidate for benator.
1 am Intelested only In republican success.
The state ticket is at stake and a local ticket
which requires scratching by the republican
voters will Injure every othjr republican
candidate. I cannot support .he straight
ticket as It Is now constituted without stul
tifying niysi-lf I was told the other duv
that Mr. Webster had promised to have a
couple of the candidates to withdraw and I
have waited for him to do so , bu' up to
this time be has not done it.
A member of the committee asked If Mr.
Rosewater had any other than the one
reason for wanting the ticket reorganized
mid Mr. Rosowatcr replied thnt he had sug
gested several rcasoiih , but one of the
strongest was that with fifteen names on
the legislative tlcVet the Goiman ? , whom
-"publicans expected to support the
party In the coming campaign , have no rcp-
roflentatlvo and * that organized labor Is also
without recognized representation.
This completed 'tbo ' discussion and the

I'red Elsasser has declln J.0 bo a candl-
duto for the legislature on the democratic
county ticket. Ho sent In a written letter
of withdrawal yesterday to I J. Dunn , the
chairman of the county committee. In that
letter Mr. Elsasser bald thnt owing to busi
ness and personal reasons he could not af
ford to ho n candidate at this time , but pre
dicted that the ticket would be elected and 1
assured the committee of his Intention to
give It brarty support.
When seen about the matter last night
Mr. Elsasser said "I was not a candidate
for the nomination and when the news was
brought to mo that I had been placed upon
the "ticket I said I could not accept the place ,
for I was not In politics ami did not desire to
be I was urged to wait awhile and think
the matter over and this I have done , with
the result , that I am moro firmly convinced
than ever that It would bo unwise for mete
to sacrlfico my business Interests to make
the campaign I was actuated by no fear
of defeat , because I bellevo the democrats
will elect their ticket , and I will support
the tlckot with the same enthusiasm as I
would were I still a candidate. "
The democratic county committee will bo
called at once to nil the vacancy. It Is prob-
nulo'that J. II Grossman will bo substituted
for Mr. Elsasscr Ho was a prominent can
didate before the convention and gave Mr.
Elsasser a close call for the nomination.

AK-SAR-BEX IV IS ALL READY
Gallant King of Qulvcra Prepares for His
Entry to His Capital City ,
GORGEOUS PAGEANTS IN HIS HONOR
Porfy Ilonnflfnl rionl * Will lllnn-
trnlo the Glory mill MlKht of
the Orcnt Monnrrli ntul He-
ftourcca n ( III * Ilcnlin.
The last bit of tinsel has been placed
on the gorgeouii figures that adorn the floats
prepared for the Ak-Sar-Den pageants. Paint
and powder have been applied In liberal quan
tities to the Imposing representatives of
popular heroes and heroines of history and
legend , and they are quite ready to pass in
review before the tens of thousands of spec
tators who will line the streets of Omaha
during the first week in October.
Within the big den of the Knights of Ak-
Sar-Den the floats are carefully guarded
b > day and by night by a detachment of the
city fire department , while a half hundred
artists and artisans under the watchful eye
of Chief Artist Renzo carefully put on the
ast bits of finery that go to complete the
beautiful spectacle. When It Is said that
'or ' the last eight months workmen have
) ecn employed In building the floats , at a
coat of somewhat over $20,000 , and when
t is recalled that the slightest flame would
quickly eat up the beautiful but frail crca-
.Ions of the artists' handiwork , the impor-
auco of guarding them against the danger
of flro may be best appreciated. During the
ast week one hose company , with a squad
of city firemen , moved Into the Den , and
from now until the pageants start to move
n grand procession the firemen will guard
the floats
It would be hard to say which of the two
scries of floats will be awarded the palm
of glorj. The entire forty floats nro of a
High degree of excellence. They are grander
; han anything ever before presented by the
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ilen , perhaps , by any
other similar organization In this coun
try. The twenty allegorical floats , Illustra
live of a popular American work , are beau
tiful beyond description. They will compose
the Ak-Sar-Den parade , which will he seen
acre on the evening of Tuesday , October 4
The twenty electrical floats , each brilliantly
Illuminated by several hundred Incandescent
lamps , will make up the grand electrical pa
geant of Thursday evening , October C. The
Coronation bail will be held at the Den on
the evening of Friday , October. 7 , and will
lie the cllmaof the most brilliant autumnal
festivities ever held In the west.
Tomorrow evening will bp an eventful
night nt the Den of the knights. At this time
will occur the last and probably the best
Initiation of the season. As a great number
of merchants will enter the realm tomorrow
evening , In order to prevent the stigma
of being a barbarian from resting upon
them , the fun promises to bo fast , festive
and furious. It will bs the "the last chance , "
and ono will have to travel slv months before
having another such opportunity. The spe
cial attraction billed for the evening Is a
hoel-and-toe handicap race through a tun
nel one and five-eighths miles In length
between two prominent westerners.
SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
The talk of making an effort to have the
legislature icvlso the city charter Is being
revived and It is moro than likely that a
committee of ithe council will be appointee
to take them matter In hand when the proper
time comes. Almost all of the city officials
can BW where they are hampered In their
work by the present limitations of the
charter. In some Instances the taxpayers
can bo benefited by a change. This question
of a revision was brought up two years ago
but nothing was done about It. Now tha
the city Is growing so rapidly the need o
radical changes Is being impressed upon the
city officials almost dolly. Mayor Ensor Is
taking quite an interest In the matter and to
Is Treasurer Droadwell. City Clerk Car
penter has made n number of suggestions
which will most likely be followed when the
time comes.
Work on Quarantine Chute.
Piles are being driven by the stock yards
company for a ntw quarantine chute from
the Armour runway to the Swift runway
This chute will bo beneath the tracks a
the houthorn end of the yards. Yesterday
the pllo driver broke down , but repairs
will bo made so that the work can bo re
stimed Monday. When the rows of piles
which will form the walls are driven th
dirt between will bo taken out , thus making
an underground passage.
Material Is ni riving rapidly for the new
cattle viaduct and It is expected that pll
driving for Ilils big bridge will commenci
on Monday. This new bridge will have i
length of 700 feet and will connect the yard :
with Armour's and the Omaha Packing com
pany's plants.
Work on CKy Iliillilliior.
The walls of the now city hall buildin
are nearly at grade and Mr. Flnley sa >
that on Monday he will put a largo force
of men to work to hurry matters along.
The building is to bo completed and ready
for occupancy by November 25. Some de
lay has been caused by the grading contrac
tors being slow , and after this all work will
bo done by day labor and the construction
will be rushed so as to get the building under
roof while the good weather lasts.
With a new council chamber the members
will need new desks and chairs , as those
now In use have been in service for about
five years and are almost beyond repair.

ered by business men and residents of this
city and It Is possible 'that ' the matter will

GIRL TELLS A STRANGE STORY
Unity Mcliolnon hnjn Her Slntcri
llmo Alinnilonril IIcr Women
Deny Her HclntlniiMliip.
Ruby Nicholson , 16 years old , was fount
sound asleep on the High school grounds
at I o'clock jesterday morning by two
policemen. She was well dressed and hail
apparently been used to good surroundings
At the police station she told the matron
that she had lived In the city several
months with her sisters at 124 Soutl :
Twenty-fifth street. The latter are Miss
Daisy Nicholson , Mrs. Dehlnnd and Mrs
Pierce , who are In charge of a boarding
house at that number. The girl says thai
she was reared by another sister In Oregon
and had not seen the Omaha members ol
the family slnro her Infancy. When she
came to Omaha she says that her sisters
did not treat her cordially , Insisting ut
once that she find a. jilace to work , and she
was finally located with Mrs. T. Enrlght
81C South Nineteenth street. She remained
there for a month and when her service
were dispensed with returned to the house
on Twenty-fifth street. The women there
however , would have nothing to do with her
and told her she must make her way with
out their assistance. The only lodging
which she could find was the High schoo
grounds.
The women at the boarding house deny
that the girl Is their sister , and say thai
she Is a waif whom they befriended , but
who proved to bo lory and unworthy o
their charity. They say they will not In
terest themselves any further with her
The girl herself maintains positively the
relationship , and Mrs. Hnrlght , with when
she was employed , sajs that the women ad-
mlt'ted It to her at the tlmo of the girl's
Introduction at her house. The authorities
nro uncertain what provision can bo made
for the clrl.

Another highway robbery In a barber she ]
occurred last night at 103 North Sixteenth
street , where two chairs are In charge o
Frank Ammandola and R. S. Wjlle. Alber
Nerd and Peter Peterson , exposition visitors
from Emerson , Neb. , were passing by th <
place when the barbers Invited them to
enter , pointing out the fact that they needec
a shave. The young men > leldcd and placet
themselves in the barbers' hands to be shorn
When the Shove was completed the strangers
say that they were put through a further
process , which they understood was includes
In the single charge. Their hair was sham
pooed , singed and finally anointed with a
perfume which it was claimed was Identlca
with that which Parisian nobility usei
in the bath. When their transfiguration was
complete Peterson and Nerd weio confrontci
with bills of $1.95 and $1.30 respectively
They protested , but the barbers brandlshei
razors and declared that they would never
be allowed to leave without pajlng. The
amount was finally collected and the young
men made their escape , The authorities
were notified and officers sent to make ar
rests. The barbers , however , still made ges
tures with razors and were only brought to
terms by a display of policemen's revolvers
There Is no codified offense to cover the case
but the charge will probably bo hlghwa )

One of the most successful and enjoyable
banquets , if not the largest , was that held
at Markers cafe on the exposition grounds
last night. It was the concluding besslon of
a Sigma Chi leunlon , and representatives
of that Greek Letter society from a num
ber of eastern , ns well as wcstcin , univer
sities were present.
No ono who happened to be on the ex
position grounds just before the official cur
few was sounded had any doubt of the nature -
turo of the organization that was enjoying
itself. The cheers that floated out on the
soft midnight air from the Casino explained
everything. There were cheers for the fra
ternity and cheers for each university rep
resented , and there wcro moro cheers for
the distinguished guests , and nothing on
the end of them all hut Sigma Chi. Oc
casionally the husky voices that had not
lifted any college yells for a half dozen
years broke forth In Bong. One stanza ran
like this
"In foot ball , li'iKo li.ill , dancing ball ,
Sigma Chi 1m u Kot th c.ill.
No other frut on u.irtli for me ,
A Sip through all eternltj "
The banquet was cervcd jt 10.30 o'clock ,
after the visitors had spent : i pleasant after
noon and evening In seeing the sights along
both sides of the Midway. They overlooked
nothing. A menu of eight courses made up
an acceptable banquet , and the courses
wore agreeably Interspersed. The post
prandial exercises wcro brief Harry A.
Frank , Cornell , ' 98 , was chosen chairman.
Grand Questor Nate of Chicago made a
brief address on the endowment policy of
the general fraternity , and there was some
discussion of the suggestion that a chapter
should bo established at the University of
Iowa.

ho has tramped around the streets of Omaha ,
carrying meesagea of luvo and sorrow , of
deaths and births , of business and pleasure
Ho haa seen the development of Omaha from
the status of an ambitious frontier town to
the position of a modern center of business.
Ho has seen the postofllco como up to the
magnificent slto It now occupies.
And five stripes of black braid aorois the

small number of men , hardly half a dozen ,
in the whole country who has the five.
nut this Isn't all ho has to hhow for It. Ho
will hereafter rest his limbs In a comforta
ble "cozy hollow" arm chair , which wan
given him last night by the "boys" of the
Omaha force. About thlrty-flvo of the car
riers , with their wives , gathered at the home
of Mr. Tebblns , 1511 Lcavenvvorth street ,
last night and presented tholr old-time com
panion with a very handsome arm chair
as u token of the feelings of the carriers
who work with him. Thcro was a short
presentation speech , to which Mr. Tebblns
replied as best his emotions would permit.
Then refreshments were served and a ver )
pleasant social evening was spent.
I HEARD ABOUT TOWN.

Private William Jordan of Company A ,
Twelfth United Statcb Infantry , who -was
ono of the paitlclpants In the charge up
the hill at 131 Caney , Is In the city on a
visit to bis biothcr , President Jordan of
the Hoard of Education. Ho has Just como
from Montauk Point , where ho has been
recovering from an attack of the fever ho
contracted In Cuba. When Private Jordan
enlisted In the nmy he left the professional
base ball diamond and was nn athleteIn
the pink of condition , weighing ITS pounds.
Ho weighs fifty pounds less now.but expects
to pick up rapidly In Nebraska's sunshine.
The company In which Pilvate Jordan Is
a member was ono of the two that charged
the block house at Ul Caney , the other
being Company F of the Twelfth Infantry.
Like- others who participated in this famous
charge Jordan Is modest when speaking
of the affair. He says that the Spaniards
were afraid of the United States soldiers
and that when the block house was charged
thry retreated although they numbered as
many men as the charging force. Thla
fact accounts for the comparatively email
loss sustained by the Americans.
Edward M. Moore , business manager of the
Dally NCWK , published at Hiitchlnson , Kan. ,
Is In the city , visiting the exposition. Ho
likes the show and speaking of It said1 "It
Is the greatest exemplification of the re
sources of this great transmisslsslppl country
that has over been seen. It Is an exposition
that will go down into history ns a crowning
success , considered from every point of vlow.
The exhibits are line , and if the world had
been raked from ono end to the other a
better collection could not have been secured.
From now until the close I predict that the
attendance IH going to ho something enor
mous. People are Just waking up to the
magnitude of the affair and they uro going
to hiiBtlo to pass through the gates before
the close. During October It would not sur
prise mo in the least to aee the attendance
reach 60,000 a number of times. "
J. S. Dflrsey and M. Stocle , prominent
stock men from Kansas City , are viewing
the exposition , accompanied by their wives.
Like all Kansas City men , they are firm
In their belief that there never was such
another enterprising and pushing concern In
the country as the Kansas City Stock Yards
company. Mr Steele icmarkcd that South
Omaha had good yards , but that If In Kansas
City It would not bo twenty-four hours be
fore they would have a viaduct over the
railroad tracks so that visitors would not
run the risk of losing their lives. Ho also
remarked that down In the yards by the Kavv
they had constructed a wide walk so that
visitors could go through the yards above
the pens and not Interfere with the move
ment of stock in the alloys.
