fn spite of the disagreeable weather there
was a fair crowd at Blum's hall , South
Omaha , last night to listen to a number of
republican candidates. Chairman Burbnuk
of tbo county central committee preside 1 ,
although the meeting wan held under th"
auspices of the Young Men s Hepubllcan
club.
Judge Ilayward , republican candidate lor
governor , Introduced as the stnii'Jnut ' bearer
of the party , was greeted with cheers. In
bin Introduction tbo fact was mentioned tint
Judge Hnyward had carried a musket In
1861 , and In bis opening remarks the judge
said this called for some explanation. He
xald he did not put down the rebellion ,
Judge Thaycr and Tom Majors having done
that. All he did was to participate In revcn
battles. This nccmcd to catch the crowd nnd
tbo cheers raised tha roof a couple ot Inches.
Continuing , Judge Huyward said ho never
passed through South Omaha on a ti.Un
without a desire to meet the men vlu by
energy and pluck had built up such a splen
did city In such a short time , and he was
glad to sco so initny present who had been
Instrumental In this work. "I say to you ,
elect the whole republican ticket. Wo said
two years ago elect McKlnluy nnd we will
do two things Wo will restore waged nnd
* et laboring men to work. These premises
have been fulfilled. The republican pnrcy
wants every mun who Is willing to v.orK to
have a job at fair wages. "
Tbo changed conditions of nlfalrs were
mentioned and the fact that the people of
Nebraska have balances In the bank brought
out prominently. The nuinbei of mortgages
canceled within thu labt eighteen months
was referred to and llgurpH ijuoted fallowing
just how much of a debt had been paid oft
by the farmers and laboring men of this
atato within the tlmo specified.
Judge Hay ward said that SO per cent of
tbo farmB In Nebraska weio owned by the
occupants , leaving only 20 per cent to be
( held by eastern Investors. This was a show
ing which could be made by fun states of the
ago of Nebraska , rurther than IhH , the
lands In Nebraska hud Increased In value
within the last ten years fully 155 per cent.
: \cliriiNltit the Jluxt Mate.
After briefly sketching a southern trip , the
speaker said be was glad to get back to the
sunshine and the plains of Nebraska , where
every ono seemed prosperous nnd happy. In
his opinion , Nebraska was thu best state In
tbo union and nny man who bald that the
farmers were on the road to ruin was simply
mistaken. As for himself , he would like to
kick such n calamity howler out of the state
The silver question was a wild dream ,
notwithstanding the fact that some of the
fusion candidates were- trying to bring It up
again and make It an Issue of thp campaign.
Judge Haywanl paid his iaspects to the
persons who Issued the fusion circular and
stated emphatically the purpose was to
obtain \oten under false pretenses. Who
ever wrote the circular and sent it out did
It with the Intention to deceive.
Several points In this circular which has
been gone over before wire taken up and
explained , especial mention being made of
the statouienlB.re.gardlng the alleged reduc
tions In tin' cost ot maintaining the six
stale Institutions. Figures weiepresented
to show' that under Governor Crounso the
Institutions com tbo state less than under
the present populist occupant of the guber
natorial chair and the compailson did not
lollect any credit upon the fuslonists
Referring to the Hartley matter , the
.speaker said the lecords showed that In
thirteen popocratle counties In this state
the treasurers had been found defaulters
nnd lu ono case ono treasurer bad set Hie
to the court bouse to cover up his shortage
Not one of these men had been punished
nnd , as far as kno\\n , no ctlort hail been
niado to do so. On the other hand , the fu-
slonlsts had done everything to cover up
the crimes. Ho did not think It policy for
the fuslonlsls to throw locks until they had
cleaned their own dooryaril
Judge Ilayward was given the closest at
tention by the crowd nnd ho was frequently
Interrupted by cheers.

pervision These latter affected tbo people
ple In a great measure and he promised It

Senator Murphy of Bealrlco. candidate for
lieutenant governor , also made a stirring
address. Ho said that he was glad to meet
ho many working men Ho knew what toll
was , having been reared on a farm. By his
own Industry he had managed to get through
school and college. He advised those present
to go to the polls on election day and do
their duty by voting the straight ticket from
Hayward down to the last man. By electing
the republican ticket the fuslonlsts would be
rebuked foi their dastardly work of two
joars ago , when they unseated a number of
legally elected republicans. National politics

features of the war brought out. A high
tribute paid to President McKlnle-y brought
down the holme.
Hon. G. H. Williams , candidate for com
missioner of public lands and buildings , cou-
i hided briefly.
The meeting was very enthusiastic
throughout nnd all of the candidates were

of I nrle SIIIII'H Sort lee Ceremony
nt I'liinii Melklejiilin.
Camp George D. Melklcjoliu passed out
of existence before 6 o'clock last night.
The men of the Second Nebraska were sum
moned to regimental headqunttcrs at 11 u.
m to receive pay for < the last month and
twenty-four days' of service nnd final dis
charge from tbo army. They Hied Into the
paymaster's room a company at a time
and before G o'clock JS3.000 had been dis
tributed among the 1.07S men on the mus
ter rolls. About 160 men are carried as
absent sick and these will receive their
money and discharge from the paymaster
general's office at Washington. Each pri
vate received payment nt the rate of $15.60
a month , with allowance for clothing and
commutation of rations , so that no private
carried away from the table less than $50
and u number received as much as $ SO. In
addition to salary , each man was provided
with transportation to point of enrollment ,
with one day's pay for each twenty miles
traveled , that being an ordinary day's march.
The discharges were served from the
bottom up , the most newly enlisted man re
ceiving his certificate first and Colonel Bills
being the last man out. There was a brief
mustering out ceremony , Captain W H.
Kell , Twenty-second Infantry , mustering
olllcer , called the name of each man , who
stepped five paces to the front ami answered
to his name A roll was kept for submission
to Adjutant General Barry of those who
were willing to renew their service , either
with the Klrst or Second Nebraska and 150
names were obtained.
.Most of the men lost no time In getting
their money and discharges. Carryalls
were loaded with the- persons and baggage
ot boisterous , homegolng soldleis and the
roads were thronged with more economical
ones , bearing blankets and satchels. The
spectacle of so many soldiers all well pro
vided with money was a tempting one to
gambling sharks and several chuck-a-luclc
tables weie set ) up In saloons In the neigh
borhood of the post. The matter was
brought to the attention of Acting Chief of
Police Haze and n sergeant with a detail ot
men was sent to attend to the matter. Very
little business had been done by the tables ,
however , the boys sustaining the reputation
for good senbo and temperance which they
have gained during their presence here. A
portion of tbo regiment received their dis
charges too Into to get trains home and these
resigned themselves to one more rainy night
In barracks.
Fort Omaha will not be entirely aban
doned to the elements and the tramps. A
detachment of twenty men of Company E ,
Twenty-second Infantry , has been assigned
to the post for fatigue and guard duty.
There Is a considerable amount of govern
ment pioperty at headquarters and the men
will bo fully eqplppcd for garrison duty ,
with 100 rounds of ammunition , tents , blan
kets , etc. Tha commanding officer will be

Several merchants of the city have been
victimized on the bank check swindle by
an Individual representing hlm.self to be "H.
Melcalf , an employe of the Hull Safe com
pany. " Ho lb supposed to have gotten
ahead of the town to the extent of several
hundred dollars. A Farnam street boarding
bouse was among tbo victims.
Ho had a very foxy game. On Sunday
night he checked his trunk on to Chicago
and then ho proceeded to prepare for the
winter by working off a number of bogus
checks for various amounts , all "payable
to bearer. " Ills play was to go Into a
store and buy about a dollar's worth of
something , drug toroa being his special
graft , and then give a check in payment ,
taylng that he had not had time the day
previous to supply himself with the neces
sary cash. The trustful merchant , willing to
accommodate a customer , kindly gave him
the change. Ills checks were all drawn
against himself as "cash , " h's ' representation
being that he had a btandlng current bank
account.
It Is supposed ho left for Chicago yes-
leulay or Sunday evening , after supplying
himself with plenty of cash.
One of the victims said last night that
as his father ls responsible for the amount
of money so obtained by "Metcalf" they
ate not greatly apprehensive of their pros
pects of getting their money back. An ef
fort will bo made to have the offender ar
rested.

About fifty republican workers assembled
at Sanders' ball In the Eighth ward last
night to hear political questions discussed by
local orators. After some routine business
by the ward club H. II. Olmnted , ono of tbo
republican candidates. for representative , was
Introduced.
Mr. Olmsted said the republican candidates
believed they were entitled to the support
ot all members of the party and all those
who believe the republican party has done
more for the people than any other political
organbatlon. He assures ! hid audience that
ho was a republican and always had bec-ri.
Ho believed the cnndldalcs were all men
who wcro entitled to support. Some charges
bad been ruadu against part of the candi
date's , but It must be understood that cer
tain elements of the party hud to be recog
nized to insure success.
Joseph Crow followed by Baying bo could
have retained his scat In the house two
years ago had bo agreed to vote for a popu
list measure which bad for Us purpose the
counting In of two populist supreme Judges.
He said tbo republican candidates Blood fern
n principle and vscre not lo be considered ns
Individuals. The republican party bad kept
every promise It ever made. Ho cored nolh-
Ing for the offlce of senator , except as It
gavs him an opportunity to further the best
Inlerests of the people and help elect n re
publican United States senator to uphold thu
hands of President McKlnlcy.
V. B. Walker , the next speaker , opened his
remarks by assuring Ihe audience that he
was still on the ticket and when the votes
were- counted In November he would still be
found on the ticket and bo one ot those
elected. He said he hadn't sufficient com
mand of the English language to do proper
justice to the last attack made upon him by
The Bee. He would be personal In his re
marks , because the republicans In the city
had no organ through which ha could make
himself heard.
Wnlkcr'n Vurnloit of HiMor ) .
"Tho beginning of the transactions , " he
said , "dates back to the time when George
Bennett had Koscwater arrested for criminal
libel , when It became my duty as police
court officer to serve the papers on him.
Since that tlmo ho has been my personal
enemy. Later ho modified somewhat when
bo thought I might bo of use to him. He
assured me two months ago that I would bo
acceptable to htm as a legislative candidate ,
but when he carried the Fourth ward , by aid
of 200 votes from the Third ward , ho told
mo not to bo a candidate , as he wanted mete
to be assistant county altorncy. I refused
the offer and went into the convention am )
was nominated. "
Mr. Walker read the editorial fiotn The
Evening Bee referring to his caudldacy and
when he came to the charge that ho drew
checks upon banks where ho knew he had
no money , he said.
"Mr. Roscwatcr will prove that charge or
I will land him In the penitentiary. Forgery-
Is a serious crime and If I nm guilty you
should know It. and If nol , then I am cntllled
to your votes. "
He then said he had been dismissed from
the police force through the behest of Hose-
water and no charges had been filed against
him. "But that Is not all , " he went on.
"After thu late convention ono of Hose-
water's henchmen came to me and said If I
would write a letter to The Bee asserting
that I would not vole for Webster for United
Stales senator the fight on me would be
dropped. I declined the proposition because
I would not turn down a friend for a man
who has been on my back for seven years ,
and I am still on the ticket and will not get
off of It for a warranty deed to The Bee
building.
"The Bee says I endorse Koulsky and
Koulsky endorses me. I guesj that is right.
for I endorse everybody on the republican
ticket.
"Where Is there a prominent republican
In the s'ato whom The Bee has not at-
lacKed. You all know how he Ircaled Dave
Mercer until he found Dave was too big for
him and ho Ihen climbed Inlo the band
wagon. After I come back from Lincoln ,
Instead of being made assistant county at
torney , I will bo elected countv ntlorney ,
and when I get up a little higher Pose-
water will then como around and sun-
Iiort me.
"But I am going lo be elected on Novem
ber 8 , his opposition to the conlrary nol-
wllhslandlng , and I will como back from
Lincoln with clean hands and will do noth
ing of which my constituents need be
ashamed. "

At this tlmo Judge Keysor was called for
on a hunch from John L. Webster. The
judge said ho had remarked In the Moorcs
campaign that ho would vole ngalnsl no man
because be bad beeu charged In a newspaper
with being a criminal and he stood on Ibal
platform tojay. Now that The Bee has
c-hargcd Mr. Walker with being a criminal ,
he again felt that the voters should not
waver fiom that rule of law which declares
that a man is Innocent until ho is proven
guilty. He fi.ilil Walker had practiced lu
his court nnd was as fair and as honorable
n ? any other atlorncy In the city. Ho said
the Fame could bo said of Mr. Koutsky. He
had not thought much about the legislative
ticket until The Bee began Its abuse , when
he concluded It was time for republicans to
get out and go to work. Ho said ho knew
nothing about Mr Koutsky except what ho
had read In the newspapers , and he gave
that a wide range of doubt. He spoke a good
word also for all the other legislative candi
dates , closing by asserting thai lie would
rather vote for Mr. Walker , If all the charges
made against him were true , than for the
cleanest populist standing under tbo canopy
of heaven.
Phil E. Winter , candldale , for county at
torney , who came In late , said be had just
returned from a rousing meeting In South
Omaha and Bald there was an old-lime spirit
ehoulng Itself In republican circles which
bode-a no good for the opposition. Ho said
republicans who had shown a feeling of
apathv because , forsooth , there had been a
Barlley or a Moore , were experiencing a re
vival1 of IntercBt. because Ihey found "thero
were olherB. " Attorney General Smyth was
too busy , be said , boasting of his rccoul
to toke notice of the embezzlements by
populist officials amounting lo about 10,000.
Ho predicted a victory for Iho whole repub
lican ticket from top to bottom and wad
willing to abide by the decision of the Thiul
ward and Soulh Omaha delegations ; which
presented Walker and Koutsky to the late
republican county convention.
A. M. Cowle and Dr F F Teal , candi
dates for the Board of Education , and John
L. Webster and Harry Easton also made
some remarks and Ihe meeting adjourned.

Following the Instrucllons of Ihe city
council Clerk Carpenter yesterday seut let
ters lo Ihe superlnlendenls of a number of
Iho railroads passing through South Omaha ,
calling attention lo the matter of electric
lights at cerlaln crossings. An ordinance
was passed last January locating lights at
grade crossings , but Its provisions have not
been compiled with by any road except the
Stock Yards company. The Union Pacific
Is ordered to place an arc light nt the
county road crossing , while the B & M.
will be expected to maintain one at Its L
street crossing. The Belt Line Is , accord
ing to Ihe ordinance , to place a. light on
Thirty-third street between G and II streets ,
while the Hock Island Is to look after Us
crossing at Monroe slrcel. The Union Slock
Yards company comes In for a light under
Ihe Q street viaduct nnd also at Boyd and
L utreeta. The latter light has been In
wrvlco for some time , but the yard company
officials dispute the Q street viaduct light.
It Is stated that the Iracks which It Is de
sired to protect are not used ut night anil
for tbnt reason no light will be located
there.
All of Ihe lettcis of notlficallon were sent
by registered mall and the receipts of the
superintendents will be held by the clerk as
evidence that the notice was. received. Sim
ilar notices were sent a short time ago , but
some railroad officials denied receiving them
and so the precaution was taken this time
to register the letters.

Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure.
Many more persons are afflicted with weak nnd diseased
I cart than Is usually supposed. The best authorities on dis
eases of the heart have agreed that defects of the heart are
quite as frequently Inherited aa weak lungs or any other con-
fitltutlonal weakness. That heart disease can bo cured there
It no lonftcr any reason to doubt. Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure
goes to the root of the evil. It slrenRthens and regulates the
heart nerves , making thu pulsations strong and steady. It In
vigorates the stomach and liver , thus Increasing the llow of
gastric and other digestive juices. It replenishes the circula
tion with an abundance of rich , nutritious blood which gives
new power to the muscle' ; , quickens the step and brings back
the color to the faded cheeks.
I had heart disease for ten years , and spent hundreds of dollars for
medical treatment without receiving nny benefit. Eminent specialists said
I could never be cured I would have frequent severe hemorrhages ,
smothering anells. weak and irregular pulse and general weakness and de
bility. Much of the lime I was unable to work. Two years ago I began
taking Dr. Miles'New Heart Cure and it not only saved ray We but effected
acompletc cure Have had no return ofthe old symptoms. "

"The Spanish soldier fights very well when
under wver , but when forced out Into the
open he breiks and runs , not often tallying
after the flrst lout , " said Captain Groto
Hutcheson of the legular army , who acled
as adjutant general on the slaft of Brigadier
General Schwann during ibo campaign In Iho
western part of Porto Hlco , to a Bee re
porter at the Omaha club last evening
Captain Hutcheson is visiting here for
about ten days , renewing bis many friend
ships nnd embracing an opportunlly lo see
Ihe exposllion before It closes Its gates. Ho
has quite recovered from his attack of fever
and Is looking well. He was formerly lo
cated fit army headquarters In Omaha on Ihe
elaff of General Copplnger. The latler has
been retired and Caplaln Hutcheson does
not know where ho will be stationed.
lu speaking of the Incidents ot his mili
tary llfu since- leaving Omaha on April 17
with General Coppinger , Captain Hutcheson
said : "Wo went from here to Mobile , and
'were ' stationed Ihero until the last ot May.
Then General Copplnuer was ordered to
Tampa , and I remained at Mobile as udju-
tant general of the corps. General Schwann ,
who was Major Schwunn when stationed
here , came and took command. The last
of June he moved bis division to Miami ,
Fla. , and the first ot July went to Tampa
General Schwann had under bis command
a brigade of regulars , Including the Elev
enth and the Nineteenth infant ! \ Both
regiments had been filled up and were pre
pared for the campaign In Porto Hlco The
middle of July we received orders lo get up
an expedition for Ihe Island. When Ibo ex
pedition was fitted out General Schwann ha 1
under him two regiments of Infantrv , Iwo
Iroops of cavalry and two batteries of light
artillery , all regulars and as finely equipped
as any expedition in the service.
SlnrtliiK AoroMi ( lie iMliimln.
" \Vo landed at Poneo on July 31 , Ihrec
days atlcr Ihe arrival of Iho firsl Porto
Rican expedition. General Miles organized
the troops In a number of columns to go
across the Island. General Schwann's com
mand was the one selected for the longest
march , that through the western part of the
Island. Yauco was the place of organlza-
llon of our campaign. Wo marched from
Iboro to Mayaguez , a distance of about forty
miles.
"On the second day out from Yauco we
ran Into the Spanish forces. They somewhat
outnumbered us , having about 1,500 sol
diers of the regular Spanish army with sev
eral hundred volunteers within three miles ,
back on the hills. The Spaniards had no
doubt that they would lick us and they bad
good reason for thinking so. Their poslilou
was admirably taken. The men were hidden
In the hills entirely under cover They had
measured the distances to all the pioml-
nent objects In the valley , so that whenever
our men showed up Iho enemy would know-
Just how to fire. The \olunteers were sla-
tloncd further back on the hills and when
Iho regulars put us to rout they were to
como down and engage us on the retreat.
The volunteers never came down from the
hills for the reason that their own regulars
were the only ones routed.
"The Spaniards attempted to surprise us ,
but wo had been especially Instrucled lo
look out for fire from Ihe ambush. Our flrst
engagement with them was on August 10 ,
which lasled from noon unlll dark. When Iho
Spanish opened fire on us from their hidden
positions General Schwann immediately set
to work to put his men under cover. This
we were enabled to do very well on account
of the Irregularity of the ground As soon
as wo discovered where they were wo sent
a troop of cavalry around on one side of
them and four companies of Infantry on the
other side Wo flanked them out. The In
fantry took Its position In the bed of n
mountain stream and the cavalry rode
around to the other flank of the enemy , and ,
dismounting , left their horses behind some
hills and then sought good positions for
firing. The work of the men was beaullful
All of them were experienced soldiers and
many of them export sharpshooters They
did not fire until they were In u. position to
do Fome good and then xhot to kill Their
experience of seven and eight years counted
for a great deal , as did also Iho fact that
Ihey were officered by experienced men.
Everyone was cool and General Schwann
was just llko an icicle , he wan HO cool.
Hail 'Hiu oil I li - Hun.
"In less than a half hour we > drove the
Spanish to retreat This was within two
hours from the tlmo the hidden enemy had
first fired on us and much tlmo had been
spent In locating the enemy. After our ad
vance guard had driven the enemy out of
Its first position our whole force followed
them up and compelled them to abandon
their second position. The Spanish took a
third position , but It proved untenable for
them. By this lime we had our two Gat-
ling guns nd four field pieces at wark

"Darkness now came on and prevented a
further nltack. Our men had been working
forly-slx out of tbo forty-eight hours pre

morning wo expected to find the enemy In
Uio town , which was about a mile distant
from where we first encountered them
They had splendid entienchmenls Ihere , ex

Inhabitants. Wu had anticipated a hard flght

"On the third dav we caught tin with
the rear guard , numberlrs about 150 men ,
and our men completely annihilated them.
Wo captured their department commander ,
the colonel of their regiment , his adjutant
and about 150 soldier * . Wo captured M.OOO
rounds of ammunition for Mauser rifles ,
hidden away In an old church. Wo also
look about -100 Remington rlllcs , with which
they filled oul Ihelr volunleerB , and ISO
Mauser rifles. Mosl of these wore new ,
never having been used , and yet done up In
the original cases The majority of Iho
guns Ihey bad used wo did nol gel. They
had drawn Ihe bolls of the guns and thrown
Ibcm In the river , making them of no ac
count. The stream was a mountain torrent
and soon swept the guns out to sea The
fight was so hot that the band abandoned
Its Instruments and ran. The fighting took
place In tbo afternoon Darkness came on
nnd wo expected to finish up the work In the
morning. But with the daylight came the
news that tbo protocol bad been blgned nnd
orders to stop the advance.
"This gave our men a chancn lo re t.
Some of them put In their tlmo in foraging
