A good sized crowd and one that was
Riuoh Interested , assembled at the Exposi
tion race course Thursday to watch a card
of four good running races , with two In
dian races added for variety.
Several now horses were on the track ,
bed the test of their speed was an Interest
ing feature. The bolting was lively during
the afternoon , which added a zest to the
nport , and with the spirited music furnished
by the band as a sort of an Invlgoratlnn ,
the program was thoroughly enjoyable dllko
to novices and to the sports , who had their
money up , and won and lost heavily ,
The first race was for R distance of five-
eighths of a tnllo for a purse of $75. There
Troro five starters , and they got away In
pretty good shapo. Hoyat Lancer won first
money , Spoluka second and Sir Walter
third. Time : 1:04 % .
Hamming Bird was the favorite In the
eccond race , but she was left at the post.
Cap Hardy made the l > rat time , and came
under the wire In' the' load , with' Now Moon
at his heols. Al Stokes was third. Distance
tfour and one-halt furlongs. Tlmo : 0:68. :
Purse , | 7C.
There was considerable jockeying at the
post In the third race , but they finally made
n pretty good get-away. Two now horses
r made the start In a field ot five. Dad's
Daughter won the larger part ot the i > ursp ,
when nearly everyone looked for Tidal
Wave to , got it. Forget-Mo-Not was second
nnd Tidal Wave came In third. May-I-Qo
and Elsto Zone , the now horses , came In
fourth and fifth. Distance , nlno-slxleenths
of a ratio. Tlmo : 0:53. : Purse , $75.
The loot race was the one In which most
Interest was centered , owing to the fact that
Robinson , a growing favorite , was a starter.
The betting on this race was all In favor of
Robinson , but ho was a disappointment.
Ho not only got away from the post last ,
but was hampered by too much weight ,
which wore him out before ho reached the
Tvlro. Tarranetto won the heat , with Miss
Chambers but a neck back ot her , and Rob
inson cacao third. Distance , soven-elghtho
of a mllo. Tlmo : 1:27. : Purse , $75.
The Indian races were comical. The
ponloa got off In splendid style , breaking
like ono horse from the post. As soon as
they started the riders began to whip and
kept it up until their steeds came under
the wire. Both races were once around
the track. In the first boat James Rod Cloud
came out In the load , Black Bear was next
best and Battle came In last. In the second
raoo Lone Bear won out , Hawk was second
fcnd Ground Spider third.
Mr. Russell announced that new horses
mould bo In for the Saturday races and a
harness race may bo put on the card. Thoraces
races will bo called at 2 o'clock in order to
, } iavo thorn ever before the boso ball came

features have been arranged by the Exposi
tion authorities In response to a very general
'demand for amusement of this character and

tion of baseball on the Exposition grounds
promisees to bo most flattering. There is
every reason to believe that these games will

ft bo a s-trong one , so that a close and exciting
' contest may bo expected. Splendid facilities

The excursionists who * came In over the
Burlington yesterday were not to bo dUap-
jiolnted by rho threatening weather. They
came to see the whole show , and they bare
seen It , judging from the crowds that
Bwnrmod In and around the principal attrac
tions. The now bill at the Artist's Studio ,
"An Affair of Honor , " proved Its great pop
ularity again and again. The duel to the
.death by the two prominent French belle *
, M they pose In the different attractive atti
tudes In their deshabille dueling custom ,
created considerable enthusiasm ,
The ono ploco on the Midway that catches
everybody , the young nnd the old , Is the
i up-and-down Scenic Railway. The excite
ment of the rapid ride grows with each trip
around the labyrinth of tunnels nnd beaullful
( cenory that encircles the track.
' Notwithstanding the chilly atmosphere , the
"Water Carnival continues to go through
the entlro performance and was greeted
1 tjr oxtraordlnarlly large crowds yesterday.
I These champion swimmers and high divers
i Are the wonder and admiration of nil visitors.

PREPARATIONS FOR PARADE

Representatives of the fraternal and labor
organizations of tiho city -mot Thursday evenIng -
Ing In the rooms of the Commercial club for
the second tlmo in the intcresls of the fra
ternal parade of Ak-Sar-Ben week. AVhllo
not more than ten or twelve different bodies
were represented , the meeting was a very en
couraging one , from the fact that the dele-
gateo were able to report a widespread inter
est in the par-ado and a general disposition to
take an active part.
H. O. Bailey , who was selected aa chairman
at the last meeting , presided. F. F. Reese ,
at whoso suggestion the Idea was taken up ,
reported on the work ho had done In circu
lating it among t > ho organizations of the city
whose participation was desired. He stated
that ho hod mailed notices to 300 lodges and
unions and had not Intended to omit any ,
although it was probable that through over
sight he had done BO. But , regardless of
notices , ho wished to urge every fraternal
and labor organization , , marching or riding
club and every dther body which could turn
out and 'mnUe a showing to prepare at once
to do so. Ho enumerated the advantages
which would bo derived from such action
and expressed the opinion that the labor or
ganizations especially should embrace this
opportunity to impress upon the public the
strength of their ranks and their close or
ganization. In no other way , he believed ,
could the different organizations be placed
before the people eo squarely and so favor
ably as by taking a prominent part in thcso
parados.
The parade committee of the board of gov
ernors of Ak-Sar-Ben- present and t > ho
members of It offered the lodges any as
sistance which it was within their power to
render. They urged that action bo taken
as quickly aa possible and predicted that if
this wore done the two weeks remaining
would bo ample tlmo In which to prepare.
Delegates from the Clgarmakors' union ,
the AVoodmcn of the AVorld , the Mod
ern Woodmen , the Ancient Order United
AVorkmen , the Switchmen's union and
the Fraternal Union of America agreed
to communicate with lodges of their
orders In the surrounding tonns and get
them to participate. It was reported that
many of the lodges were considering the
matter at meetings then in session nnd
would appoint committees empowered to net
without further delay. Mr. Reese was
appointed to present the matter to the Cen
tral Labor union at Friday evening's meet
ing and endeavor to eecuro its co-opera
tion. The delegalca will meet again Tuesday
night.

The clly council concluded its silling as a
Board of Equalization Thursday afternoon ,
nfter pnEsIng upon end overruling all but
ono protest. The protest allowed was not
really an objection , but was elcnply the re
quest of S. R. Davis to bo allowed to pay
the oontraclor directly for a permanent
sidewalk , In Mead of having u special tax
recorded against Ihe properly. The pro-
testa not allowed were Iho following :
Ono from John 1C. Hazard , objecting to
being taxed for the building of a sewer en
n street which he alleges Is not open to
publlo travel. Ho says , also , that the property -
orty pant which the sewer runs Is unim
proved and that the sewer was not a
public necessity.
One from Oeorgo A. Hoagland end Charles
Oruenlg , who protest against the afsesa-
ment of moro than half of the coU of con
structing n sewer against the property on
nno sldo uf Ames avenue , from Twenty-
fourth to Twentyseventh'street. . Three
street * are Included In their sldo of the
nyenuu which are not open , and which the
city will have to buy If they nro over
opened , The protestants , through tholr at-
torr.ey , Warren Swltzler , allege that the
city should pay for the expense of con
structing the sewer across the Intersections.
Thn board overruled tbo objection on the
ground that al ! the property owned by the
protrstants was benefited.
Ono from a largo number of properly
owners on California street against a sewer
assessment , protestants claiming that they
had previously furnished Ihelr property with
A sewer and that they were therefore not
benefited.

The result of the democratic primaries
Thursday was a sweeping victory for John
Power , the First ward candidate for sheriff ,
nntl his frlentla arc confident that ho will bean
an easy winner on the first ballot. The other
candidates tvro generally disposed to consider
themselves out of the race and It sccma cer
tain that Tower Is the man that the re
publican candidate will have to beat. Frank
Droadwell , the South Omaba candidate for
clerk of the district court , was tied up with
Power and It Is regarded as probable that
1'ower's victory will carry the South Offlahn
man through. This leaves the situation de
cidedly Ices complicated than It would have
been If Power had been defeated and a lot
of personal ambitions were duly Interred
when the returns were received last night.
For the most part the primaries were de
void of feature. The lack of Interest was
something remarkable In view of the stub
born controls that were scheduled In every
ward , and apparently the rank and fllo of
the party took little Interest In the re
sult. The only really lively fight was In
the Fourth ward , where 31G votes were cast
and Mlllor was defeated by about 85 major
ity. The only word that Power lest was the
Sixth , M-horo Pat Mostyn's neighbors pulled
hls'delcgatlon through by a small majority.
As Power's backers practically conceded this
ward to Montyu before the poles opened the
Power victory was practically complete.
Content in the Seventh Ward.
In the Seventh ward James Schnelderwlnd
and some of his friends created a diversion
by an organized and successful effort to de
feat the compromise delegation that had
boon agreed on by J. J. O'Connor and
Charley Fanning. After 3 o'clock they began
to throw In their votes by printing the names
of their candidates with a rubber stamp , and
they eloctsd tholr men by from 10 to 40 ma
jority out of 85 votes cost. The defeated
delegates assort that thcro was only one del
egation legally filed with the secretary of
the county central committee and-they will
probably make a contest In the convention.
On the face ot the returns Power claims
ever 100 votes on the first ballot. It only re
quires 91 to elect. Ho claims the First ,
Second , Fourth , Seventh , Eighth and Ninth
ward delegations entire , 7 votes In the Third ,
5 In the Fifth and the solid vote ot South
Omaha. It Is thought that this estimate
may bo exaggerated In ono or two cases , but
that this will bo offset by the votes ho will
get In the country precincts. Miller has the
majority of the country precincts , half'of the
Fifth ward and port of the Third , and Mcs-
tyn has the Sixth. Their combined strength
Is Inadequate to head Power oft unless they
can break into his lines before the conven
tion meets.

Yesterday's democratic primaries were
fully aa lively , if not more so , than the pri
maries about which there was so much
talk a few weeks ago. It was the same
old fight between the Ensor faction and the
Johnston faction and Ensor won hands
down , carrying every ward In the city.
Just as the primaries were opening at noon
Deputy Sheriffs Stryker and Lewis appeared
with an order from Judge Dickinson of the
district court restraining Mayor Knsor ,
Chief Carroll and the entire police force
from Interfering In any manner with the
casting of ballots in the First and Fourth
wards. This restraining order \v s Issued
under the application of.Ed Johnston and
was served by the deputies on all of the
parties concerned before 1 o'clock.
When It became noised about that John
ston had secured a restraining order for the
purpose of bolstering up bis chances the tldo
In his favor began to turn toward the op
position and the Johnston faction was com
pletely ( mowed under.
There was a lively contest In the First
ward , but the Ensor ticket won out with
out any trouble. From the etart the voting
was brisk , both sides working hard. Mem
bers of the Ensor faction , however , ap
peared so confident along toward the mld-
rle of the afternoon that efforts were
slacked up a bit. Not co"tvlth the opposi
tion. Some of the antl-Ensorltes in this
ward sulked in their tents and refused to
eomo out to vote , but the number was
small as compared with the total number
of votes cast.
Hhodio Redmond manipulated things In
the Second w > ird to his own liking and
there was no contest. The voting place was
located at Thirteenth and Monroe streets ,
two blocks i.orth of the county line , and
on this account only thirty-one patriots
considered It worth tholr while to charter
a conveyance and ride two miles for the
fun of voting ,
Things Hero quite interesting In the
Third ward and one or two small disturb
ances resulted from altercations between
friends of candidates , The result was en
tirely favorable to the Enaor faction.
The real battle ground was In the Fourth
ward , which is Johnston's home ward and
ho along with some ot his followers made
tbo fight uf bU life. Backed by bis re
straining order Johnston thought ho bad
things coming his way , but the total of the
count showed that Ensor's high man re
ceived 117 votes to Johnston's SO. At none
of the precincts were Cnuor challengers
noticeable. The opposition , however , were
out in force in this respect and challenged
quite a number of votos.
P. C , Caldwell and Jacob Lory were se
lected aa candidates for Justices of the
peace.
The delegates arc :
First Ward J. S. Walters , Henry Owl ,
Charles E. Scarr , J. C. Collins.
Second Ward Uhodle nedmond , Ed Con-
ley , Joe Fcrdy , Andy Mcdutrc.
Third Ward J. J. Jackman , John Fallen ,
J. J. Ryan , Tim Maloncy.
Fourth Ward J. E. O'Hern , Tom allies-
pie , SAm Mart , Patrick Hannlgan.
The name of Henry Oest appeared on the
opposition ticket In the First ward and Oost
received more votes than any of the other
delegates. The placing of Cost's name on
the opposition ticket was done because
James Pollard , ono of the original Ensor
delegates , withdrew from the race the clay
before the primaries.
The delegation Is solid for Broadwcll for
clerk of the district court , but la somewhat
divided , on a choice for sheriff.
Iltmlticn * Itrlftk nt .Stock Ynriln.
Wednesday was a ban nor day In llvo
stock receipts at the yards , 455 cars being
received , Up to the present tlmo this run Is
the largest In a number of years , In fact It
IB ono of the throe big runs In the history or
the yards. On July 10 , 1891 , 490 cars wore
received , whtlo on October 5 , 1893 , 464 oars
wore unloaded at the yards. The re < wlpta
of cattle Wednesday , 8,437 hend , wwo the
largest BO far this year. From this tlmo
on It Is expected that the cattlfi rutm will
Increase , as much aa the range stuff tees bo n
held back In order to allow the stock to
har < Jen on the rnngo grass , which Is un
usually fine. As the opening of the rungo
season was backward It has been cxpooteo
all along that the bulk of the shipments
from the north and west would be held back
at least a month , and this Is the case at the
prownt time.
It Is confidently predicted that tbo annual
report of the Stock Yards company , which
will bo Issued on January 1 , will show fin
Increase In the receipts of cattle as com
pared with 1S98. At the precsent time the
comparative receipts show a decrease of
about 11,000 head , but this will more than
bo made up by the range stock which is
coming to this market but la being held
back on account of thu continued flne condi
tion of the grass.
Taking everything Into consideration , the
demand for feeders continues good. Wed
nesday 126 cars went out to the country
from this market and all this stuff will como
back to this market within ninety days. In
connection with the handling of feeders ono
of the representatives of
a cattle loan com
pany said yesterday that Nebraska farmers
were not applying for
loans this year as
much as they did ono and two years ago.
The reason for thlo is that money Is moro
plenty , that there Is general prosperity In
the farming communities all over the stnto
and that nearly all farmers have money on
hand with which to nmko purchases. As a
general thing now .when a Nebraska farmer
visits the stock yards for the purpose of
buying cattle ho brings the money along
with him dnatead of having to make arrange
ments nt ono of the bonks for a short-Umo
can. Whllo thJs method of procedure is a
Httlo hard on the cattle loan companies it
shows a healthy condition of affaire in the
country. Very few Nebraska or western
Iowa farmers are now making loons on their
feeder etock. This fact In connection with
the Immense corn crop augurs well for this
community , as it shows that the farmers and
stockmen are all in a prosperous condition.
Improvement , , on Went 1. Street
A contract has ' Just been let by the county
commissioners' for the grading of L street
from the city limits on the west to the
Paplllon. The Bleep hills on this road are
to bo cut down so that there will bo no
more than a 5
per cent grade on any portion
of the road. This -work contemplate * the
removal of 25.000 cublo yards of dirt. Work
is to be.
commenced nt
once and hurried
to completion in order that a first-class
road may bo established before winter seta
in. > i
The Improvement of ? this road will bo
greatly appreciated by thoeo having oc
casion to use It and It will bo next in order
for the city to do a Mttle grading on L
street beyond the Burlington tracks in order
that the entire road
may not contain moro
than a 5 per cent grade.

The delinquent tax list Is due nt the
county treasurer's office today and It Is ex
pected that the force of 'clerks In the city
treasurer's office will complete the com
piling of this report today or tomorrow.
Whllo the totals are Incomplete , enough
is known to ehow that the delinquent list
this year will not be
aa long as it was a
year ago. For the past few months prop
erty owners have been paying up back taxes
much moro rapidly than usual. This ap
plies also to special taxes. Moro money on
back taxes has been paid Into the city treas
urer's office this year than for a number
of years past. The reason is that property
owners are gelling big rents and with money
easier than formerly they can better af
ford to pay the taxes than to allow the In

BRINGS MATTER TO A FOCUS
Building Trades' Oonnoil Takes a Hand in
Existing Labor Troubles.
ENDORSES ACTION OF THE CARPENTERS
Union Workmen in He Cnllcd Oft ot
John Where Contrnctorn Would
Work Them vrltli Nnn-
Uiilon Men ,
At the meeting of the Building Trades'
council Thursday night the actions of the
carpenters in demanding 35. cents per hour
of the contractors were ondonrad
by the unanimous adoption of a reso
lution which recognizes 35 cents na the
union ecalo of wages In Omaha. By the
resolution the council expresses its deter
mination to stand by the carpenters in their
fight for the Increase and preventing the
contractors from employing nonunion men
and working them with union men , by or-
dorlng off Ml union men from jobs on which
the contractors may seek to work them.
The resolution , which resolves the con
troversy down to a fight between the con
tractors and alt the building trades unions
In the city , roods as follows :
Whereas , The union scale of wages for
carpenters In Omaha is 35 cents per hour ,
therefore be it
Resolved , That any contractor paying
letu than the above said ecnla be declared
unfair nnd treated accordingly and that
in the case of any member of any union
working over any work done by nonunion
carpenters this union bo notified of the fact
and in case of their refusing to call said
members oft that the union be ejected from
this council.
During the mooting Thursday evening It
was announced that several of the contract
ors are employing nonunion men. As the
Information was not official , coming only
from individual members , the council could
take no notion upon the matter , but word
will bo sent to all union men today not to
work upon jobs upon which nonunion men
are employed. It Is the Intention ot the
council to stand back of the carpenters
and force the contractors to rccognlzo the
new scale of wages and pay It before It will
allow any union men to work upon any
jobs In the city.
By this action the council hopes to bring
the controversy to a speedy termination , the
claim being made that the contractors will
be forced to pay the scale demanded to
get sufficient men to complete their jobs , as
men ot all kliyls are scarce.
The advisory committee asked to bo dis
charged and the request was granted. Here
after if the contractors have any communi
cations to send to that body they will have
to be submitted to the executive council.
A number of union men were called off
of jobs in the city Thursday , and not a
union man Is expected to work today or un
til the controversy Is settled excepting upon
jobs where the union ecalo of wages la
paid to all hands and where no nonunion
men are employed.
The contractors -will hold a special meetIng -
Ing this evening for the purpose of taking
some action upon the resolution passed by
the Building Trades' council.
The council abolished the separate office
of treasurer and combined It with the du
ties of the secretary , electing former Secre
tary 0. P. Shrum to the new position. The
consolidation was to facilitate matters , the
secretary heretofore collecting all moneys
and turning them over to the treasurer.
