Nearly everybody has heard of Cora
Boctowlth , the greatest lady swimmer In
the world , famed for being the only woman
that ever swam the English channel. The
entertainment she la , now giving at the
Bockwlth Aquarium Is attracting a great
deal of attention , the women especially beIng -
Ing very much Interested , and many are
wanting to take swimming lessons fro7n
her , but up to date she has all she can do
In attending to the crowds of Right-seers.
There are a great many amusing ana
interesting things to t > o eeen on the Mid
way now. The missing link that Darwin
claimed did exist , Js now at the Hagenback
wild animal show In the august person ol
Hamt Jr. , a real-llv ourang-oiltang. He
Is a wonder and Is apparently "tho whole
show.
The Moorish Palace of today on the East
Midway haa not that awfulncss of last year ,
but on the contrary contains some pleasant
and most Interesting pieces. It Is entirely
different from anything heretofore produced.
The Passion Play , as produced here by
the cinematograph , from the original pic
tures In Bavaria , where the play was last
produced , are the finest yet seen. In thle
country and give a faithful picture of the
life and acts of Christ when on this oarth.
Today , -with the Pennsylvania boys hero ,
the Midway people expect to have full
houses and keep late hours , but they never
object to a rush ot this kind.

The following letter , addressed to Colonel
Bryan , u printed In theSt. . lx > uls papers :
ST. LOUIS , Aug. 23. Hon. William J.
Bryan , Lincoln , Neb. : Dear Sir The dem
ocratic papers of the state this morning an
nounce that you have been Induced to prom
ise one speech In the Eighth Missouri cam
paign , to bo made at Tlpton. The avowed
purpose of your coming Is to Induce pop
ulists to abandon their own candidate and
vote for the democratic candidate.
In tbo campaign of 1896 the populists of
Missouri placed your name on the omclal
ballot as their candidate for the presidency
and voted for you at the polls.
In view of the fact that you are now
coming Into this state to light against the
election of William U. Hate , a populist , In
the Interest of Judge Shackleford , a pro-
fcsslonal politician , your course arouses In
us an uncertainty ns to your views on mat
ters that wo deem of vital national Impor
tance. A mcro politician would be too timid
to state his views where a statement might
lese him votes , but a real statesman.
broad-mlndccd , Targe-hearted and true nllko
to his convictions and to the people and
such a statesman wo have always sincerely
held and proclaimed you to bo would have
no uncertainty In the public mind as to
his settled convictions.
In view of the premises , permit mo on
behalf ot the populist party of Missouri ,
whoso state chairman I have the honor to
bo , to most respectfully ask your explicit
answer to ( ho two following questions :
1. The populist party demands a pure
paper money , Issued directly by the gov
ernment. that shall not bo redeemable In
coin , while- the democratic party , by Its
Chicago platform , declares : "Wo demand
that air paper money which Is made a legal
tender for public and private debts shall
bo redeemable In coin. "
As between these directly opposite and
hopelessly conflicting demands on a matter
of the greatest possible Importance to the
American people , are you n populist or are
you a democrat ?
2. On the great and growing question of
transportation and Interstate commerce the
national platform of the populist party de
clares that "tho government should own
and operate the railroads , " whllo the dem
ocratic platform favors the Interstate Com
merce commission , a republican-made Insti
tution , created and operated In the Inter
est of the railroads and against the people
ple , In the following words : "We demand
the enlargement of the powers of the In
terstate Commerce commission , and such
restriction and guarantees In the control1 of
railroads as will protect the people from
robbery and oppression. "
On this proposition , are you a populist or
are you a democrat ?
Three U\o questions are asked In a spirit
of fairness on the part of those who think
they have a right to ask them , and who
sincerely believe that the people of this
country have nothing to hope from either
the republican or democratic parties In the
two matters referred to. They are asked ,
too , In entire confidence that you will an
swer them fully , frankry and without eva
sion.
If you will , In addition to answering
these questions before your Tlptoni audi
ence , wrlto an answer to me , I will give
what you write the same general publicity
among populists throughout this and other
states given to this letter. Very respect
fully yours , FRANK E. IUCHEY ,
Chairman State Committee People's Party
of Missouri.
LANDLADY AND LODGER RACE
Knoll llciit on Scciirlnir Warrant for
the Other'N Arrest AVonuurii
Xcrv Ilc-ntM MUII'B Sliced.
Henry Jones' experience In attempting to
file a complaint In the city prosecutor's
ofllco Friday afternoon has served to
strengthen his belief In thoi old adage , "Tho
race Is not always to the swift. " In the
caseof Jones It was a woman's nerve that
won.
Jones and his wife rent apartments at the
lodging house managed by Mrs. Laura Eaton
at 715 North Sixteenth street. Ill-will has
exl&ted between landlady and lodgers for
some time , and Friday afternoon a quarrel
resulted between the two women , Jones ap
pearing to have taken a prominent part.
Jones started for the police station for the
purpc 3 of filing a complaint against Mrs.
Eaton , charging her with assault upon his
wife. Mrs. Eaton grabbed her hat and
hastened In the same direction , but being a
woman and unable to move aa rapidly as a
man she was dlstnccd In the race.
When Jones reached the station there was
a crowd of men nnd women In the prose-
cutor'o offlco , and ho had to wait his turn.
While standing In the line fifth In turn Mrs.
Eaton entered breathless , but persistent.
She sized up the situation In a jiffy , and
Instead of accepting the clerk's advlco to
take a jilaco among these waiting , she
pushed on to the prosecutor'e desk -where she
told her troubles.
In less than a minute Mrs. Eaton had her
complaint , and when Jones reached the desk
ho was tolil by a policeman he would be
arrested ns soon as a warrant could bo
made out. Jones remained and was ar
raigned before Judge Gordon , who set the
trial for next Thursday.
The complaint against Jones was assault ,
Mrs. Eaton having produced as evidence a
dress torn almost to shreds , The gar
ment , she said , was ripped by Mr. and Mra.
Jones In the encounter of the morning.

READY FOR THE BIG PARADE

BREAKFAST THE FIRST EVENT OF THE DAY

llnttnllnn nt n Time nn the Dif
ferent Section * of the
Trnlii Arrive.
The parade commltteo of the First Ne
braska regiment reception Is busily engaged
In getting ready for Tuesday's big demon
stration , and practically all preparations
arc completed. Some difficulty has been
experienced In securing the necessary num
ber of saddle horses for the mounted mar
shals and their aides , but this will be over
come. Carriages for the distinguished
guests are being engaged. It Is very likely
that there will not bo many carriages In
tbo line , because tnc Idea prevails that as
long OR the men ot the regiment are walkIng -
Ing , the only right way to go Is on foot.
The councllmcn eay they will walk , and
probably the other city and county boards
will do the same thing. Tuo parade , Judg
ing from the list of organizations partici
pating , will bo An Immense affair , over
sixty marching clubs having promised to
attend. The Equestrian club of South
Omaha , as well an the various official boards
fraternal organizations and duos of that
city , will join with these of Omaha In
swelling the numbers. The line of march ,
make-up of the marching column and
names of the marshals and aides will prob
ably bo announced tomorrow.
An effort la being made to have done for
the Nebraska elck what will bo done to
morrow for the sick of the Tenth Pennsyl
vania , namely , to take them with the parade
and to the exposition grounds In carriages.
A large drag has been offered for the use
of the Ponnsylvanlans , and the commltteo Is
In hopes that private carriages -will bo
placed at the disposal of the sick Nobraa-
kans. If this Is not done they will be pro
vided for by the committee.
Up to the present not much haa been done
In the way of decorations , but Monday will
doubtless see a great change. Owing to
the early arrival of the regiment Tuesday
morning the decorations that count will have
to bo put up by Monday evening. The city
hall has been tastefully decorated for the
reception of the Pennsylvanlans and will
remain as It Is untir Tuesday.
Drrukfnpit itt the Depot.
Tbo breakfast for the regiment at the
depot Is just now engaging the earnest at
tention of the commltteo of ladles appointed
by the reception commltteo to take charge
of It. They have called upon the ladles
of the city who are not making contributions
of food for cash contributions of 25 cents
each for the purpose of buying the things
that cannot bo secured by donation. That
sum will about represent the cost ot the
breakfast per plate , and every man and
woman giving a quarter will have the sat
isfaction of knowing that ho or she has fed
one of the soldiers. Mrs. C. C. Bcldcn ,
2018 California street. Is the treasurer ot
the committee , and contributions should be
sent to her.
The directory of the Women's club held
an adjourned meeting at the rooms of the
Commercial club yesterday to complete
arrangements for the breakfast. Mrs. Draper
Smith , president of the organization , pre
sided at the meeting.
The matter of general supplies for the
breakfast was discussed and It was left tea
a commltteo to decide on the amount ot
bread that must bo furnished , and also as
to whether It should bo warm and spread
ready for the tables. In estimating the
amount of meat necessary the ladles figured
on the same amount that Is to be provided
for the Pennsylvania regiment luncheon ,
being thirty hams and 300 chickens. The
matter of providing doughnuts , cookies ,
coffee , cream and sugar was also left In the
hands of committees. The question of serv
ing warm potatoes was discussed and Grant
Ilellef corps was selected as a special potato
committee.
A report was made that the commission
men and fruit dealers were soliciting among
each other for the supply of fruits , and It
was decided that mixed fruits ought to be
provided , such as could bo eaten from the
hand. It was not thought that melons could
bo furnished. Committees were selected to
look after the supply of Ice and water.
After some discussion as to the matter ot
decorations the Sanitary Aid society was
selected to look after the floral decorations
for the table , while Mrs. Blanche McKoIvoy
was made chairman of a commltteo to con
sult with the men about the flags , bunting
and other decorations. Mrs. L. H. Harford
was appointed chairman of the badge com
mittee , with power to select assistants. It
la expected that this committee will provide
hedges for the waitresses , and also a patri
otic badge for each of the soldiers.
Mrs. Draper Smith was made general
superintendent of arrangements nnd was
authorized to select her own' aides for the
occasion. The heads of all other commit
tees are expected to report to the general
superintendent , and a final meeting Is called
for 0 o'clock Monday morning , at which all
tbo heads of departments are expected 'to
bo present.
The arrangements for the breakfast at
the Burlington station Includes the furnish
ing of tables sufficient to seat 300 at a time.
It is the expectation that the train will
como tn three sections , with enough time
between to allow tbo tables to be cleared
and reset for each battalion. The estimate
Is that there will bo 700 soldiers to feed and
euro will be taken so that the committees
and number of waiters will not bo so largo
as to create confusion during the breakfast
and citizens will bo encouraged to save their
enthusiasm for the parade and the exercises
at tbo exposition grounds.

NOT WAITING ON THJ" MAYOR
IlCNoIutlnit Ailojitvil ' " > ' the Cnuiiull
Not Concurrent Honiln to Ho
\otllleil nt Onrc.
It has been discovered that the resolu
tion of the council directing the city attor
ney to withdraw the city's objection to the
claiiEO of the proposed viaduct agreement
touching the closing of Seventeenth street la
not a concurrent resolution and therefore
does not require the mayor's signature.
The city attorney can , therefore , proceed lo
give the notice and negotiations between
the city and the railroads can be resumed
without further delay.
The question of the legality of a reso
lution not concurrent has been raised In
this case , but Is of little Importance oce
way cr the other. The resolution simply
expresses to the roads the willingness of ths
council to entertain a proposition based nn
the closing of Seventeenth street and their
disposition to accept It. It Is not in any
way a final action on the question. The
final agreement , -whether made In the form
of an ordinance or a simple contract , It Is
believed , will have to be submitted to tha
mayor for approval or rejection.
The resolution has not yet gone from the
city clerk's office to the city attorney and
.the notice has not yet been served upon the
Toade. City Attorney Connell ba * been con
stantly engaged with the Imla hearing since
the last council meeting , but will take up
the execution ot the resolution Saturday.
HEARD ABOUT TOWN.
Frank McCartney , a Nebraska City busi
ness man and a close personal friend of
Senator Hayward , Is In the city , accom
panied by his wife , and will spend the bal
ance of the week sightseeing. Speaking of
Senator Hayward's condition , Mr. McCart
ney said :
"Tho judge is growing stronger and we
think he will bo able to bo out before long.
Our doctors do not think there has been
the slightest symptom of apoplexy or paral
ysis. They think that rest and quiet will
bring him out In good time. Judge Hayward -
ward Is restless In confinement , however ,
and a few days ago he felt that ho was able
to move nroujid a little. Ho walked about
the house , and even went upstairs. The
result was that ho over-exerted himself and
was not so well the next day. "
Mr. McCartney was asked about the politi
cal situation In Otoc. "Well. " ho said ,
"thero will be complete fusion on the
county ticket for the first time In a long
while , and this will make the county very
close. There Is , however , a quarrel among
the managers and they are divided Into hos
tile cainps. This will not help them. "
Several men -were standing on a street
corner Friday afternoon talking about the
recent fusion conventions. Among them
wan Charles Nowiies , a prominent populist
ot Sarpy county , who was hoard to say to
the others : "That's all right. Judge How
ard was not the only man from Sarpy county
who was opposed to Holcomb. There were
ten of us on the populist delegation , and we
all wanted somebody else besides Holcomb.
At the last minute , when we found the thing
was eel up , four of our delegates voted for
him , but the other six voted for Allen. "
"What do I think of Holcomb's free pass
I promises ? " asked Nownes , In reply to a
| question from one of the others. "Why , he
had to make the promise , but the question
is , will ho stick to It ? The Sarpy delega
tion had something to do with forcing him
to swallow that dose. Ot our crowd , nluo
out of the ten were over GO years old. Seven
wore over CO. All were farmers , and all
started In ten years ago to help form *
party that would not bo dominated by the
railroads. A few years later we stepped to
one sldo a little to give the younger men a
chance to run things , but the politicians and
pass-grabbers crowded In. Thla year we
thought It was time us old fellows stepped In
and called a halt In the pass business. "
The men on the delegation referred to by
Mr. Nowncw as being each over 60 years ot
ago were : D. O. Brauner , E. O. Schaal , A.
C. Sloanc , Charlco Chandler , Ell Htleman ,
R. M. Carpenter nnd Peter Anderson , all
owners of flno farms In Sarpy county.
F. C. Harrington , a hardware merchant
from Pawnee City , Is In the city and Is
taking considerable Interest In the arrange
ments being made to welcome homo the sol
diers. "We are all enthused over the home
coming , " said Mr. Harrington. "Down at
Pawnee wo will have the biggest celebra
tion tn the state In proportion to the num
ber ot men In the regiment. Just two Pawnee
neo City boys are In the First , but they
have good records and we are going to have
a big celebration. Wednesday has been set
osldo as 'Jublleo Day. ' The business houses
will bo closed , the buildings will bo deco
rated and the program , which Includes a
barbecue , will last all day and all night.
Wo Jiavo raised $500 for fireworks , and our
two boys will know they are at homo when
they get there. "
R. B. Schneider , chairman of the re
publican state committee , came In from Fre.
mont today on a purely business trip.
Speaking of the political situation In the
state , Mr. Schneider says ho believes the
fuslonlsts have nominated their weakest
candidate , and that the republican prospects
are very bright for the election of the state
ticket and a big share of tbo candidates for
judicial and county offices.

KANSAS CITY , Mo. , Aug. 16. An attorney
for the Kansas City , Plttsburg & Gulf rail
road Is quoted as saying today that papers
have already been prepared to secure a tem
porary restraining order against the eleven
western railroads whoso officials have an
nounced that on Tuesday next they will
sever frclcht relations with the Gulf road.
It Is understood that the first move will bo
made In the federal court. Inasmuch as the
Plttsburg & Gulf property Is now in the
hands of receivers appointed by the United
States court.
If freight divisions arc canceled , as threat
ened , the offending roads will , It Is said , be
enjoined , and If they do not heed the orders
of the federal court their officers will bo
arrested for contempt. This Is the legal plan
of baitle. as outlined. It may bo supple
mented by one of the biggest rate wars In
the history of western railroads. The re
ceivers of the Plttsburr & Gulf refuse to
discuss the iboycott. except to express their
confidence of success in the fight.

Judge Dickinson Decides that tha Act of
1897 is Oonetitntional ,
LEAVES COURTS NO AUTHORITY TO ACT

In Nelirimkn ,
Judzo Dickinson has handed donn a dc-
crco In which It Is formally dvcldod that the
effect of the amendment to the deficiency
Judgment law which was passed hy the
legislature of 1S97 la to preclude iho Courts
from receiving motions to enter deficiency
judgments In Nebraska. This settles a
question tbi- has been a subject of much
litigation and not a little political agitation.
It Is significant that the law , the potency ot
which Is thus established , was one that Gov
ernor Holcomb refused to elcn and which
became a law without executive action.
The law was known as senate fllo No. 10S
and was Introduced by C. W. Heal of Broken
llow , Uovernor Holcomb's homo town. It i
Is entitled "An act to repeal sections 847
and S4U of the code of civil procedure relat
ing to deficiency judgments , and to amend
section S4S of said code of civil procedure
by striking out the last live words ot said
section , namely , 'unless authorized by the
court. ' "
The text of section S4S was : "After such
petition shall bo filed ( meaning a petition In
foreclosure ) , while the samp Is pending , and
after a decree rendered thereon , no pro
ceedings whatever shall be had at law for
the recovery of the debt secured by the
mortgage or any part thereof unless author
ized by the court. "
An 12ml to Uollclciu'.IiiilKfiitvittN ,
The effect of the amendment , which
strikes out the last Iho words of the sec
tion , Is to practically do away with defi
ciency judgments In Nebraska. This was
the purpose of the amendment , Inspired by
a general public sentiment against n form of
proceeding that had ruined ninny honest
debtors , leaving them , after all their prop
erty had been sacrificed to satisfy the mort
gage , a deficiency judgment hanging over
their heads , which prevented thorn from
making any successful effort to retrieve
their misfortunes.
When the bill wont to the governor ho de
clined to sign the bill or vuto It. After he
had permitted the bill to remain In his
hands without action for the required five
days It became a law and was so certified
by the secretary ot state.
The case In which the effect of the amend
ment was established by Judge Dickinson
was that of Mary A. Grovcr against H. J.
and Ella Penfold. A Judgment was ren
dered against tha defendants March 23 , 1S97 ,
for $5,530 and 10 per cent Interest. The
property on which the mortgage was Issued
was sold In October , 1SOS , for $3,608 , leaving
a deficiency of $2,298.03. The plaintiff ap
plied for a deficiency judgment for this
amount and the motion was overruled.
In his decision Judge Dickinson plainly
declares that the passage ol the amendment
of 1897 has "deprived this court ot all power
and authority to render a deficiency judg
ment and that such deprivation of the right
to render a deficiency Judgment affects only
the remedy of the plaintiff and does not
violate any provision of the constitution of
itho state of Nebraska nor the constitution
of the Unlted'States. "

Six of the elot machine cases were called
before Judco Babcock In 0101100 court yes
terday and the defendants wcro discharged.
Assistant County Attorney Thomas repre
sented the state In these cases and pro
duced C. A. Carmon and C. W. Dolen as
witnesses lo show that slot machines wore
being operated in South Omaha at the time
the comslnlnts were filed. Upon motion of
the defense Hio cases were dismissed be
cause the state had failed to connect the
defendants with , the crime charged , and had
wholly tolled to prove that the defendants
had set up and maintained gaming fixtures.
In summing up the case Judge Ilabcock said
that lie did not care to take the class of
testimony produced by the two witnesses
for the state , and for that reason ho would
dismiss the cases and discharge the defend
ants. Unon a stipulation entered Into be
tween the attorneys the Bamo ovldenco waste
to hold in all of the cases on the docket
at ithls time , and the dismissal of the Oscar
Hill case , which was the ono on trial , dis
posed of the others In the eamo manner.
The two witnesses produced by the state ad
mitted that they were employed by the
county attorney to como to South Omaha
and "rubber" and see If slot machines were
In operation.
It Is understood 'that ' the closing of those
ooeratlon of slot machines
cases winds up > the
chines In South Omaha until there Is a
change of heart on the part of the county
attorney.

People ask mo every day why It Is
that more glasses are worn now than
formerly. There are several reasons.
We are using our eyes much more than
our forefathers did. Wo are doing
ollli-o work on books , shop work in a
bad 1INM , typewriting , sewing and read
ing. While there Ubcd to ho but one
newspaper a week we now try to read
four or five a day. Nature simply won't
stand It and we have to wear glasses.
Another reason Is because wo under
stand the eye better. We know the
good and bad elTcct of lenses. Wo
know how to relieve discomfort and suf
fering which a few years ago had to bo
endured.
