Irving O. Barlght , candidate on the re
publican ticket fop clerk ol Hie district
court , la not grievously alarmed over the
assault made upon him In the World-Herald
b > the manipulators ot the mudilluglng
machine * Ik had been threatened with this
attack on his former connection with the
World Mutual IlenofU association , the bents-
Ilclary department ot the Order of tbe
World. In the face ot the evidence within
Mr. Darlght's possession the charges ot
the World-Herald must fall Uat , for they
mo dlsprovun by the willing testimony
prominent mtmbcrs of the fusion organiza
tion , among them Icing two of the candi
dates on the fusion county ticket.
Speaking of the assertions made In the
World-Herald Mr. Uarlght said that ho
hardly deemed them worthy ot denial , ns
most of them are so manifestly unfair anil
untrue , llo believed that every member ot
the association In thlstcltv understood the
nature of hli connection with it , and In
stead of holding him In any way responsible
for Iti unfortunate- ending , they were h !
friends , and believed bo had acted squarely
and honestly with them
"Tho statement that I cnmo west to take
chargd of the business of the association la
untrue. I located In Omaha In 18S9 , while
the assoclntlor was ijot orginl/ed until 1S01
or 1S92. It had another agent here botoro
I represented It , Mr. Ocorgo W. Collins ,
wns never Its genera. ! manager In this dis
trict , nor did 1 over hold any olllco In the
management. I was simply a local agent
and had no authority oven to make n con
tract with a deputy to solicit business ,
did not collect tbe money for It. That was
done by the secretaries ot local lodges ant !
turned ever to the treasurers , who for
warded It to the general treasurer. Some
times members would pay money to me ,
which I Immediately turned over to the
treasurer of the lodges to which they Be
longed
"At the time it went out of business the
association , during tbo six years of my
agency for it , had paid out between rA
nnd $00,000 in death and disability claims In
Nebraska , mostly In Omaha , nnd there wer
only three claims In this state that were
not paid when It quit business. Some ot
these were partially paid. I had confidence
In Its ability to meet all obligations , for It
had always done so promptly and I believed
If was all right. Belle's Ing that It was all
light , of course I said so. My confidence In
Ita ability cost mo moro than It did nnyono
else , for I lost $1,100 by Its discontinuance
ot business. The three claims mentioned
nbovo hid been partially paid and I advanced
homo money on them out ot my OH n pocket.
On one of the disability claims for $1,000 ,
there had been paid by the company $500 ,
and I advanced $100 , believing that I would
get It back when the remainder of the claim
was paid.
"There la no truth in the intimation that
I over sought to stave off suits against the
association. I had nothing to do with its
litigation. James W. Carr , the present
fusion candidate for county Judge , wns at
torney for the association hero and looked
after Its suits. It never had but tvvo suits
bore. "
That Mr. Barlght cnjojs the confidence ot
the members of the order the follow Ing will
ntlcst : - , -
OMAHA , Neb , Sept. 12 , 1899. To Whom
It May Concern : We , the undersigned , do
hereby certify that wo were members of the
Order of the World and carried Insurance
In the World Mutual Benefit association
eastern organizations for a number ot years ,
nnd most emphatically state that Mr. Irv
ing O. Barlght had absolutely nothing to do
with the management of said associations ,
simply acting In the capacity of a local
ngcnt , and it is doing him the grossest in
justice to In any way use his name in con
nection with their ceasing to do business
Wo arc personally acquainted with Mr.
Barlght nnd deem It n pleasure to testify to
hlo Integrity and honorable dealing with us.

In thin connection the following letters
arc pertinent M showing the estimate placed
upon Jlr. llarlght by the members of the
Order of the World , nnd to show why he is
not worrying over the assertion of the
World-Herald that "It may be ect down as
a certainty that Uarlght's candidacy for the
clerkship of the courts will not bo materially
advanced by any member c the World Mut
ual UcnclU association. "
OMAHA , Neb , 1'eb. 17 , 1889. I have )
known Mr. I. G. Uarlght for the last ten
joirs , In fact during all of the time ho was
conncclod with the Order of the World nnd
Woild Mutual Benefit association. I was
charter member ot Omaha lodge. No. 200 ,
and president ot that lodge for more than
three vcars. Mr. I3arlght was employed as
local agent of that association nml abso
lutely had nothing whatever to do with the
management of either of the associations ,
nor wns ho in any way responsible for the
trouble Into which It was eventually drawn
by those who Ind one of the finest Institu
tions for mankind that lias ever boon offered
to the public , If it had been properly man
aged. I nm free to say that If Mr. Darlght
had been given the ontlro management of
same it would bo In the lead of all Institu
tions of its kind. As agent for the World
Mutual Benefit association he handled largo
sums of money every month and I person
ally know that every cent waa religiously
accounted for to its members. Have had
business relations amounting to quite large
sums with Mr. Barlght covering a number
of veara nnd would beg to say that by bus
iness men hero ho IB considered absolutely
gilt-edged. His word Is good wherever ho
goes nnd wo could hive no customer In our
business that we appreciate moro than we
do Mr. Barlght. I can recommend him as
an honest and trustworthy man In every
respect and I would be pleased to answer
any inquiries regarding him or his brother.

OMAHA , Neb. , Teh. 17. To Whom It May
Concern : I am well acqvalnted with Irving
G. Baright and have known him for eight
or nine years. I was a member ot the Order
of the World long before Mr. Barlght knew
there was iuch an organization. He was
the local ngont for six years and handled
thousands ot dollars in said position , but
had absolutely nothing to do with the
management of said association and I never
heard or knew of his being short one- cent
In his accounts. I was treasurer of Oak
lodge for a number of years and was In a
position to know whereof I speak. I be
lieve Mr. Barlght to bo a straight , square
business man nnd I don't bellevo his honesty
has ever been questioned.

LINCOLN , Neb. , Sept. 10 , 1809. It gives
mo great pleasure to state some facts in
connection with Mr. I. G. Barlght , nt pres
ent treasurer of the ( Midland Life associa
tion of Omaha , and candidate for the office of
clerk of the district court of Douglas county ,
as I have known him for the past seven
years , part of the time as local agent of
the Order of the World and World "Mutual "
Benefit association , in which capacity ho
represented the orders above named ; hav
ing nothing whatever to do with the man
agement , that being under the direct super
vision of the homo office , which was in the
east ; having no power to make an agree
ment of any kind without consultation with
said homo olllce , In fact having no voice
whatever In the management thereof , ho has
by his manly , straightforward , honest busi
ness principles gained full confidence of all
who Know him , especially EO with those who
were carrying Insurance in the orders
named , knowing full well that he was In no
way responsible for their ceasing to do busi
ness , as wns ovldcnt by nearly the entire
organization going over to the Midland ,
having confidence their interests would he
safe In his hands , which certainly would not
have been , the case had they felt ho was In
any way responsible for the downfall ot the
W. M. B. A.
Knowing all this personally It gives me
great pleasure in btatlng the facts and en
dorsing iMr. Barlght for the olllco for which
ho has been named to tboso who are not
fortunate In having a personal acquaintance
with'him. To others It Is superfluous , as
they only know Taint as ono who would
honestly and acceptably fill the position. I

Sept IS , 1899 To Whom It May
Concern : As supreme chaplain ot
the Order of the World it af
fords me pleasure to ntato that I carried
Insurance with the World Mutual Benefit
association for the entire time that It was
In existence and that I never know of I , G.
Barlght having anything to do with the man
agement of the World Mutual Benefit awo-
ciatlon. I liavo known Mr. Barlght for a
number of years In connection with Insur
ance milters nnd have ahvaye found him
honest and fcarlere in discharge of duties.
As president of the Midland Life nsaaclatlon
I entertain the highest regard for him and
have full confidence In him as treasurer of
the association. Doth the Order of tbe
World nnd the World Mutual Benefit aseo-
ciatlon have ceased to exist. Their demise
can in no way Do charged to Mr. Barlght ,
nor In anj way bo associated with the Mid
land Life association or Mr. Baright.
I give this testimony to the best of my
knowledge , hoping it may serve to correct
any wrong Impression a to Mr. Baright's

SECOND WARD REPUBLICANS

A good crowd of republicans braved the
discomforts of practically an outdoor meet
ing last night to hear a discussion of cam
palgn Issues at Slmanck's hall , which Is an
enclosure without a. roof on Thirteenth strcc
near William. Although the speakers re
mained ensconsed In their great coats thuy
warmed the audience frequently up to a con
dltlon of noisy enthusiasm. Andrew Klewl
presided and introduced Leo Rstclle , "ftho
called attention to the fact that Agulnaldo
in n proclamation to the Tagals , his people
had asked them to pray for the success o
the democratic party. Ho supposed it was
a sort of reciprocity that was leading the
democrats to pray for the success of Agul
naldo. Aa for himself , he loved old glorj
and was Inclined to pray for Ha triumph
no matter in what cause it was fighting.
J. L Kaley presented the known quallfl
cations of the candidates of the republican
party and the lack of them that marks the
opposition candidates. He recalled the
services of Judge Reese on the supreme
bench and directed attention to the fact tha
good times are always somehow cnjojed dur
Ing a republican administration and ban
times during democratic rule :
I. S. Hascall paid his compliments to John
Roslcky , declaring that Mr. Rdward Rose
water had stated -the case correctly when
he had said that It was because of a per
eonal grievance that Roslcky was endeavor
ing to Influence Bohemian-Americans to op
pose the republican ticket. Roslcky hai
gone Into the primaries and the convcntloi
merely to create dissension and get an e\
cuse for opposing the ticket. Then ho hai
suddenly discovered that a Bohemian couli
not bo a republican Mr. Hascall devotee
considerable time to the discussion of na
tlonal Issues declaring that If Andrew Jack
son , who was responsible for the purchas
of Florida and the conduct of the war tha
followed , should hear some of his namesake
of today -attempting to conjure in his nam
ho would turn over In his coffin.

About thirty fuslonlats met In the hall at
1443 South Sixteenth street Wednesday night
and listened to opceches by J. H. Grossman
and houls J. Plattl , that of the former on
national Issues and that of tbe latter on
the merits of tbo fusion nominees on tbe
etute , county nnd city tickets.
Mr. Groceman spent most of his time on
the conduct of the Philippine war by the
present administration. According to his
view It was very significant that there had
been no talk of Imperialism before McKln-
ley's accession to power and ha pointed out
that even now the republican speakers were
not talking much about Imperialism nut
he predicted that Imperialism would lead
to the establishment of an empire and to
have an empire It would be found neces-
nry to have nn emperor. After that the
nobility and the aristocracy -vsould follow
nslly
Mr I'lattI went over the local and state
nslon tickets in a purely categorical way ,
naming one candidate after another and
ironounclng each the best man who could

Twenty-seven men nnd boys were In the
hall when Chairman Hippie called the
meeting of the Ninth Ward Fusion club
: o order Wednesday night I J Dunn was
Introduced as the principal speaker of the
evening. Ho spoke for an hour and n half
and before his remarks wcro concluded
about half a dozen men strolled In.
iMr Dunn said the republicans had stolen
a march on the fuslonlsts in getting the
big end of the first day's registration and
pleaded earnestly with the Ninth \\ard fu
slonlsts that they exert themselves tn the
succeeding registrations to get thcJr entire
strength registered , "If wo get our veto
registered nnd are nhlo to. muster our en
tire strength on election day , " said Mr.
Dunn , "wo are not oaly going to carry our
own county , but will elect our entire Judic
ial ticket. Things nre undoubtedly looking
belter for the state ticket during the past
few dajs. It Is unnecessary for us to de
fend the record of Silas A. Holcomb. It
speaks for Itself. "
The speaker continued nt length In o
discussion of notional Issues , pnitlcularly
touching upon the silver and Philippine
questions. He asserted that the prosperity
of which the republicans wore vaunting so
much had largel > the same result ns would
the adoption of free silver , In that It has
taken more money to purchase the com
modities. Instead of by free sliver , the re
publicans , ho asserted , had brought this
about by means of the trusts.

presenting n few reasons why , to his mind ,
the fusion and Judicial and county tickets

FAIRBANKS IS CONFIDENT
Indiana Senator riiidn Condition * In
Acbranl a KlatliTliifV to
Henubllvnim ,
Charles W. Fairbanks , United States sen
ator from Indiana , was In the city for
route to Nebraska -
several hours Wednesday en _
braska City , where ho spoke last night , j
On his present trip to Nebraska ho will
speak at York and Columbus and then return - 1
turn cast at once to spend the last two
weeks of the campaign in Ohio. '
Senator Fairbanks stands high In the
councils of his party , and Is probably as
closely In touch with the political situ
ation as .any man In the country. Speak
ing of political affairs he said :
"Judging from -what I hear there seems
to bo no reaaon why Nebraska should not
swing back Into llnej this year , and 1 expect
to see It do PO. It lh a progressive state
and the people have probably already ap
preciated what the McKlnlcy administration
has done for them. I bavo Just been read
ing the crop report published by The Bee
this morning. That IB a wonderful showIng -
Ing , simply wonderful. There cannot be
much distress In a state with so productive
a soil.
"But the prosperous conditions I notice
hero exist all over the countrj. In the
cast labor is well cmplojed and at better
wages than for many jears past. The uc-
ord of the United States in foreign trade
balances Isi an Interesting Indication ot
what the republican administration has
done for commerce. The trade balances in
favor of this country during the three years
of McKlnley's administration were equal to
those ot the administration of Arthur ,
Cleveland , Harrison and Cleveland com
bined. "
When Informed that the fuslonlsts of
thla stale wcro trjlng to persuade the people
that there was no real prosperity Senator
Fairbanks expressed the greatest surprise.
"Well , Isn't that strange , " bo said. "It's
Just as though a man were to stand out
in a heavy rain without an umbrella and try-
to persuade people ho was not getting wet.
They claim that It is spasmodic , do they ?
They claim , then , that it Is unlike the de
pression that accompanies democratic ad
ministration , for that always lasts as long
tus the democratic party remains In power. "
Senator Fairbanks had never spent any
time In Omaha before and ho expressed him
self as very favorably Impressed with the
solid and prosperous appearance of the
city. Omaha , ho said , was known In the
cast as ono of the prominent cities of the
country , and was among the first to como
to the mind of an easterner when ho turnel
his attention west of Chicago. Ho visited
The Bee building during his brief stay in the
city and pronounced It n far liner news
paper building than ho had expected to E 3
fo far west
"It like It especially because there Is
fancy ornamentation about it , " ho said
"It Is Imprefslvo In Its plain masslvcness. "

facturers of Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera and

market such u wonderful medicine , " ga > s W

lAn outcropping of savage cunning and
treachery was revealed Wediicsdaj when
Little Horse , one of the Indians who par
ticipated In the sham battle Tuesdnj. came
limping 4o the hospital with a bad wound
In hli left leg Just below the kneo. Ho
said ho received the Injury during the bat
tle , but did not tell any ono of it until
Wednesday morning , when It began to hurt
him so ho could not concc.il his groins
Ho told the ploslclans that It had been In
flicted by a gun wnd , but the ) thought dlf-
feront , nnd after probing the wound for
some time succeeded In locating n brass
bead about live Inches below the knee The
mtssllo entered the Ilesh about ono Inch
below the l > nco and traversed Iho bone
downward An Incision was made opposite
the bead and U was removed.
Thiough nn Interpreter , Little Horse said
that an enemy had loaded the gun pur
posely to Injure him , but he could not say
who ho was There wcro so many In the
battle nnd the confusion was BO great that
It was Impossible to tell who had committed
the treacherous net John Black tlorn , who
was also Injured In the same- fight , was
reported to be doing fairly well , but owing
to the fact that an amount ot foreign sub
stance hid been blown Into the wqund ihe
phvslclans fear ho m.i > have a serious time
with his ankle. There Is , a lurking idea
among some of the rcdmen that Black
Horn's wound was not made altogthcr ac
cidentally.
lAt a mass meeting of the p\ecutlvo com
mittee It was definitely decided to take up
all passes Friday , except those of cmploves
on the grounds and those who are In charge
of exhibits and concessions , There will bo
no change In the price of admission until
the last day , and then 'the ' price may bo
raised to GO cents for both day nnd night
admissions. Tickets for the last day nro
selling fairly well and the Indications nro
Mint the White City will be populous at the
grand finish.
