I

to Effect His Nomination ,
CONTEST PROMISED FROM SOUTH OMAHA
Charge * that Ennoi- Won Ilia Fight by
Lonlninim Method * Would Not
Let the OppoKltlon
Voto.
Judging by the expressions ot Omaha
democrats the principal business to bo set
tled by their county convention Monday Is
to decide whether the party Is to be used
to boost Cunningham n. Scott's Judicial
aspirations. There seems to bo no con-
trovcrsy in regard to the policy of the
Douglas county delegation In reference to
the ofhcr places on the Judicial ticket , and
Bcott's candidacy is about the only ques
tion that la discussed by the prospective
delegates and party leaders.
AB the complexion of the delegate con
vention now appears It seems certain that
the question whether a Judicial delegation
favorable to Scott shall be selected will bo
fcltterly contested. On the face of the re
turns n majority ot the delegates arc op
posed to him , 'but to offset this the gang
lias the advantage ot being able to utilize
nil the pressure the stulo house admin
istration can bring to bear and It Is as-
eortcd that Charley Fanning , Walter Molso
and the other members of Scott's steering
committee will bo supplied with all the
money that can bo used to bring reluctant
delegates Into line. The barrel Is said to
bo located In a local department store fa
vored by Scott.
The success of the Ensor faction In South
Omaha is presumed to bo an clement In
favor of the gang. It Is asserted , however ,
that quite a number of the delegates will
refuse to bo whipped Into lino. Democrats
opposed to Scott assert that , even If the
South Omaha delegation Is seated , Scott
cannot control more than sixty of the 180
.votes In the convention.
There Is also a question whether all the
Bouth Omaha delegations elected at the pri
maries will be allowed to sit In the conven
tion. It Is charged that at least two of the
ward delegations wore fraudulently elected
nud It Is certain that there will bo a contest.
The antl-Ensor crowd declare that they were
deprived of their righto by force by mem
bers of the police force acting under Ensor's
orders and that Jhey will appeal to the con
vention for Justice.
Made It n Clueli.
The principal complaints come from the
First nnd Second warda , where methods are
charged that eclipse Boss Tweed's most spec
tacular performances. In Iho First ward
the opposition installed D. S. Parkhurst In
the booth as challenger , but the voting had
DO sooner begun than a police ofllcer came
to throw Parkburst out. Parkhurst Insisted
on bin right to remain and cited the election
laws In support of his position , but he was
Ignomlnlously ejected. Then Captain Peter
Cockrell was sent In , only to meet a similar
fate. Not a representative of the opposition
was allowed In the booth.
In the Second ward the police were also
actively Interested In the proceedings. It
is alleged that Justice of the Peace White
was thrown into Jail merely for attempting
to look into the window of the booth , and
> . ecvcral Instanced are cited In which Johnson
wen were assaulted and driven away from
the booths before they could vote , It la
also araerted that Just before the polls closed
the Johnson people had a line of twenty-five
\otern In front of the booth , but that the
Judges deliberately closed the polls at ten
minutes before 7 o'clock In order < o abut
put their votes. Three are merely a few ot
the Irregularities charged , and the nntl-En-
ser people declare their intention to venti
late their grievances in the convention.
Estimates vary in regard to the number
of votes in the Omaha delegations that can
be counted on for Scott. The figures of the
opposition give Scott only twenty-eight
votes , as follows : Five In the Third ward ,
tour In the Fourth , six in the Fifth , eight
in the Seventh , and five in the Ninth. They
also claim an oven break in the country
precincts and at least a third of the South
Omaha delegates. The Scott managers claim
everything In sight , but perfunctorily inti
mate that it docs not matter , since Scott
has withdrawn. The test of strength will
probably come with the selection of the tem
porary chairman of the convention. Each
faction is preparing to make a desperate
effort 'to secure the organization , which will
probably settle the complexion of the Judi
cial delegation.
It Is Intimated that the gang has experi
enced an unpleasant surprise In the discov
ery that one of the anon considered nn orig
inal Scott man has a grievance of his own
that will Interfere with his carrying out his
part in the program. J. B. Kitchen is one of
the Scott delegates from the Ninth ward ,
but it is assorted that ono ot Scott's Judicial
decisions cost Kitchen about $25,000 , and
that ho Is not disposed to forget the Inci
dent.
HOLD AN OPEN AIR MEETING
of the Flmt Wnril
1 lentil Under the Cnnnpy of llcnvcn
I'roven Mont Sntlufnctory.
The Young Men's Republican club of the
First ward held a lousing meeting last
night in Kcsslor'a garden , Sixth and Woolworth -
worth streets. The Innovation of holding
the meeting In the open air was a most sat
isfactory ono. Speeches were made by Hon.
Leo Estcllo , republican candidate for the
Judicial bench , John Butler , Ernest Stuht , Dr.
W. H. Hanchett , A. D. Walkup , Peter Back ,
J. C. Kenworthv and Samuel Scott , and nil
enthusiastically endorsed the candidacy of
Charles Elguttcr for the republican nomina
tion for county Judge. Mr. Elgutter also
addressed the meatlnz. John Holt , candi
date from the Fifth ward for county com
missioner , 'W.ts ' ono of the speakers , and
said that he was In the ring for the nomina
tion notwithstanding the light belnc waged
against him. Ho ft a ted that last spring
when the Fifth ward club was organized the
executive committee endorsed his candidacy
for the commlsslonershlp , but that now , ow
ing to opposition , there was a disposi
tion to throw him overboard. Mr. Holt said
that ho now had on his fighting clothes and
by the aid of Providence and the repub
licans ot Doueloa county ho intended to
fight for bis political aspirations.
BIG MEETINGJIN THE NINTH

That tbo republicans of the Ninth ward are
not lacking in interest In the pending cam
paign was indicated by the big crowd that
turned out at the meeting of tbo ward club
last night. The meeting waa for tbo purpose
of reorganization for the campaign and the
hall was filled to the doors. There was a
lively but good-natured fight over the selec
tion of a president , and H. P. Stoddart won
out against S. 0. Huntlngton , the retiring
president , by forty-flve to thirty-five votes.
The other officers elected were George C.

NEW YORK , Aug. 18. n. G. Dun's
Weekly Review of Tiade will say tomorrow :
The Crataps have discharged many hun
dred hands and asked Russia to extend time
for completion of two war ships because
they cannot get the steel. Completion of
twenty-one out of thirty-seven vessel's build
Ing In the Delaware Is also affected. It Is
a curious experience for this country but
shows the great expansion of homo de
mand. No ono can question the fact that
payments through the principal clearing
houses have been In August 65.9 per cent
larger than In 1897 for the month thus far ,
and outside Now York 23 per cent , no
bettor tests of the volume of business
done , but there is a growing handicap in
the advance of prices. How long nnd how
far thla advance can go without reaction is
the problem which level-headed business
men arc studying. Evidences of check in
the consumption arc rare , but it would bo
childish to hope that at some point higher
prices would not hinder buying.
In Iron the question is of steel biriots ,
which the great consuming companies have
bought far In advance , so that all new or
ders have a narrow market. For six months
billets have sold at $4. to JG higher than
the rails made from them. Other demands
not covered by contracts , are mainly for
various shapes nnd sizes , only prescribed
In contracts. While the prices have risen
25 cents for southern pig Iron , CO cents for
Chicago locar coke and 75 cents for grey
forge at 1'lttsburg , rolls have advanced $1
per ton , with work covered for all this
year's and 400,000 tons or more taken beyond
what can bo delivered until next year.
Other finished products do not change , al
though the demand at all points exceeds
present capacity , Copper Is steady at $18.50
for lake , with production for July 21.333
tons domestic and 7,390 tons foreign. Tin
Is lower at $30.75 nnd lead weaker on the
stoppage of the smelters' etrlkc.
Cotton rose a week ago to 6,60 cents , but
has fallen to C.19 , Mr. Nelll having esti
mated the coming yield at 11,250,000 to 12-
000,000 bales. Olllclnl and other estimates
are all much smaller , but the man who
Judged rightly a year ago baa the floor.
Consumption here and abroad has been very
largo and prices of goods are rising , while
cotton falls and stocks carried over must
also bo largo , but will be less than present
returns Indicate. For wool , Coates * circu
lar for August still holds good , though in
side quotations are more often made , The
sales for three weeks have been 28,390,990
pounds against 13,996,500 last year , 38,630-
305 in 1S97 and 23,365,400 in the eaine weeks

Wheat has advanced about a cent during

302 bushels , flour included , against 3,059,680
last year , and Pacific exports 971,329 bush
els against 175,400 last year.
Corn receipts have been only 3,212,117
bushels , against 3,369,229 last year. U is a
question whether the smaller receipts are
due tp recent changes In crop prospects ,
giving holders of grain a better outfook.
Exports ot wheat In three weeks have been

nnADSTUliKT'S FIXANCIAJj REVIEW.
Ennlor Condition of Money OInrkct
Ilcflcotril in Stock Speculation
NEW YORK , Aug. 18. Bradsteofs Flnan-
clal Review tomorrow will say :
A somewhat easier condition of the money
market has been reflected In stock specula
tion by the prevalence ot a moderately
bullish sentiment. The trading has been
narrow and professionals are still mainly
responsible for the activity. The bears
have shown some agresslvencss , particularly
in connection with traction stocks , while
bullish tendencies have been most conspic
uously shown in the low priced railroad
shares or certain industrials.
London has not been a factor , though the
financial eluatlon there has improved , the
Unnk of England showing a good Increase In
cash and reserves. The Berlin money mar
ket , on the other hand , is undergoing an
other slight disturbance in interest rates ,
which have advanced sharply nnd seem
likely to attract gold from London to the
German capital.
The weakness of the exchange market and
the favorable character of the July trade
statement tend to keep up an Idea on the
part ot Wall street that there will be an
autumnal geM Influx this year. Shipments
of specie from Australia to San Francisco
nro occurring from tlrao to time , but expert
opinion is that comparatively little gold
under present financial and trade conditions
can be expected from abroad , another con
clusion being that Europe will not develop
a demand for our securities. It was noted ,
however , that Loulsvlire & Nashville owed
Its rise this week on the part of London ,
and that some others of the international
securities were bulled there.
Irregularity has prevailed In the Indus
trials and specialties. Tha week began with
a break in American steel and wire , caused
by the fact that a synopsis of the statement
presented by the company to the stock exchange -
change did not come up to anticipations as
to earnings. On the other hand , Tennessee
Coal developed great strength and rose to
! > 29i on manipulation , together with reports
that the bank dividends on the preferred
stock are to bo adjusted and the common
pfaced on a dividend-paying basis.
Tha tobacco stocks also rose nharply ,
American common telling up to 126 nnd Con-
tlnental Tobacco common to 50 % on the
statement that the two concerns had ac
quired control of the Buchanan & Lynll
manufactory. The other rather tentative
bull movements were seen In various In
dustrials , the steer stocks showing eome
strength , which , however , they did not re
tain.
tain.American
American Smelter was higher on the re
port that the strike at their Colorado estab
lishments had been settled. Brookfyn Rapid
Transit was a feature , breaking to 108 % on
the statements that there were dissensions
in the management , that the president , Mr-
KoBsltter was to resign In consequence of
tbo results ot bis course during the strike
and that the current net earnings were de
cidedly adverse to any presumptions about
speedy dividends. At the decline support
was forthcoming and prices rallied to 112U.
Consolidated Ice , an Inactive Industrial , dis
tinguished Itself on Wednesday by making a
11-polnt decline , from which It rallied
when support appeared.
Sugar was more than usually Irregular ,
falling from 161 to 1565-8 and rallying only
to sell off again.

Situation IN ( iiitlirrlnur Strmntli nu the
Slimmer AY'iinm.
NEW YORK , Aug. 18 Bradstrcet's tomor
row will say :
The trade situation gathers strength as
summer wanes. Heports ot expanding fall
demand arrive , accompanied by very cheer
ful advices as to the outlook In most parts
of the country. In manufacturing lines pro.
dution appears to be at a maximum and
the price situation retains mcst of Ua old
strength. Notable in the matter of added
strength are most of the cereals and Iron
and steer In many forms.
The Impetus given to wheat prices by the
government report last week has been fur
ther reinforced by less favorable crop ad >
vices from other countries , notably India ,
nnd export business Is reported eomowhat
improved. Advices ns to corn crop are still
as favorable ns ever , some states , notably
Kansas , reporting phenomenally large
yields. Judging from numerous reports , the
scarcity of supplies of Iron and steel Is be
coming Increasingly serious , supplies of
structural and shipbuilding material being
reported inadequate at a number of points.
There is an appearance of quiet at eastern
markets not shared in , however , by west
ern centers , where sales ore reported large
and advances numerous.
The question of outlook ns to prices
seems to be largely transferred to next
year and liberal bookings are reported for
the first quarter of 1900 , with some south
ern engagements reported running as
far ahead as autumn a year from
now. A notable exception to the
general strength to prices is found in
raw cotton , which has disregarded almost
unanimous reports of crop deterioration and
lost all of last week's advance , owing to
the Issuance ot a bearish crop estimate ,
which , from the present outlook a't least ,
seems very heavy and at the least prema
turely Issued. The strength of the cotton
goods market Is maintained , though ad
vances are few ns yet and here a scarcity of
supplies of stapfo is reported.
In woolen goods orders for lightweight
men's wear goods continue heavy and raw
wool , though less active , is no less firm and
high grades arc pretty well held. The ad
vance in boots and shoes pceras to be felt
but little and the slight gain in leather
prices imparts a very firm tone to bides.
Most staples , aside from those mentioned ,
are firm and unchanged on the week. Lum
ber still reflects activity in building and
advances at western markets are again re
ported. Current rallroaa earnings ohow

NEW YORK , Aug. 18. The following

bank clearings at the principal cities for the

Increase and decrease as compared with thu
corresponding week of last year !
I'UFFS 0V TOIIA'CCO 8MOICU.
AVlint IN Said liy .Sntoiitffit : Sharp * nn
till Iiitcrentiiiv Subject.
Science has calculated , reports the Cincin
nati Enquirer , that an average puff of cigar
eraoke sets free over 2,000,000,000 tiny par
ticles , a wlilff from a pipe liberates over 1-
800,000,000 of these particles and ono from a
cigarette starts 2,000,000,000 of them flying
through the aurroundlng atmosphere ,
A very curious fact concerning tobacco
emoke la tbo remarkable change in color
I which it undergoes after entering tbo mouth.
From the burning end of a cigar the emoke
Issues In deep blue threads , while that which
Is expelled from the mouth is of a decidedly
brownish tint.
The difference U to be accounted for by
the fact that the minutest particles have an
intense afllnlty for moisture , When tobacco
Binoko Is drawn Into the mouth Its smallest
particles are Immediately detached from the
rest 'by the presence of moist surfaces , to
which they fly and lodge.
Besides particles , smoke contains several
gases and vapors. Thoush Sir Walter Ral
eigh won bis famous wager with Queen
Elizabeth , ho tcok no account of these when
ho attempted to shcnv her the weight of his
cmoke by subtracting the weight of the final
ashes from that of the unburnt cigar , and
this demonstration would not hold good with
any scientist today.
It has often been quoted that a grain of
nicotine , admlnlttered all at once , would kill
the strongest dog , and from this have been
argued Its terrific effects on the body of a
human > belnc. While this statement Is un
doubtedly true , It Is somewhat misleading.
In order to commit suicide by smoking , the
dog would have to consume 400 strong cigars ,
ono right after the other. Ho could'put him
self out of the world much more easily by
eating 'the boxes.
Whatever tbo ill effects of tobacco when
used to excess. In moderation It acts on an
adult as a mild sedative. It Is claimed that
after the thirtieth year Its use prolongs llfo
and preserves the mind by lessening the bodily
ily functions of waste and repair.
'Experts say Ihat for emoklnc , tobacco 1s
one of the least Injurious substances known.
Compared with other well known vegetable
substances used for the eamo purpose to
bacco Is very mild. Opium , .without doubt.
Is most fearful In Us effects , for the drunk
enness It produces ultimately unbalances
the mind. Next to opium In power are certain
kinds of grasses , notable among which Is
hemp , which causes intoxication and anaes

ington -within the last three years , report *
the New York Tribune. His name is James
Clark. He told the story of how he did it.
"A little more than three years ago , " said
Mr. Clark , "I was the manager of the War
Eagle mine , near Rolln , B. C. I had always
had the Idea that there was plenty of gold
In the Comavlll reservation in Washington
state , and one day I decided to make an In
vestigation. I gave two of my workmen ? 50
each nnd started them out prospecting. A
hundred dollars was a largo sum with mo
then , but It made mo a rich man and it
made the prospectors rich men too. They
discovered gold In largo quantities and I
Immediately organized the Republic Gold
Mine Milling company. There were 1,000-
000 shares of stock. The two prospectors and
1 had a fourth interest each. Thcferemalnder
of the shares we disposed of at 10 cents a
share , although we had a hard tlmo doing
It. When operations were finally begun wa
had splendid SUCCORS. Three months ago wo
sold 300,000 shares of stock to a Montreal
syndicate for ? 3.500,000 , Wo now have a
oyanldo plant and nil the modern Improve
ments and the stock la worth $4.50 a share.
In addition to the Republic- that $100 Invest
ment gave mo a fourth Interest in the Lone
Pine , Surprise nnd Peril mines , In the name
district , all of which pay very well and have
glorious futures.
"That $100 was the best Investment I ever
made or ever expect to make. Mining Is a
flno thing when you have luck. It is liter
ally 'finding money/ and you usually find It
in largo hunks , too , when you find it at all.
There are mighty few businesses nowadays
which will enable a man lo make a fortune
In three years. Beyond all doubt Washing
ton state Is fabulously rich In mineral de
posits. Mining has become the mainstay of
the stnto and agriculture has been compelled
to take a back Beat , "
