Ifr 4 The tllsmnl outlook for the fusion sham reformers In Douglas county has cn t a \ damper upon the ardor of the Herdman ganj. There Is not a Rleatn of hope to be gained from the registration figures. The first day's registration was regarded by most of the democratic workers ns by no means conclusive that the republicans wcro so largely In the majority. They tried to per- nuailo thomeelvcs that the democrats had failed to register because they were In different or had failed to make a vigorous effort to beat the bushes and get their people to register. But the second day's reglstra tlon did not Improve the situation very much , although all the pressure that could poeslbly bo brought to bear was exerted to bring out the full popocratlc strength , The most conservative estimate , based I upon the total vote for the two days' rcgls- 1 trallon , \ ould give the republicans any- whcio from 2,000 to 2,500 majority In the county. Taking the total republican vole as ngalnst the total vote of the democrats populists , free silver republicans nnd voters who have refused to give their party nlllll- nitons , the republican majority approximates 1,600 , and computing the non-partlaan vote as two for the fuslonlsts to ono for the republicans publicans the republicans have n majority of nearly 2.COO. It the republicans only" hold their own nt Saturday's registration they arc sure of more than 2,000 majority for everybody on the ticket. Roilclo'n Ite olt 1'nlln Dorrn. The only thing that the local fusion man agers still bonk on 1 the revolt among thi i Bohamlans. ns they call It , under the lend . crshlp of John Hoelcky. With u view to as ccrtalnlng Just what the state of facts I concerning the Bohomlaiih , a reporter fo The Bee has Interviewed a number of Bo hemlan storekeet > ers nnd worklngmcn who have heretofore taken an active Interest on the republican side. Mcst of these men ex pressed a preference not to bo dragged Into a newspaper controversy , because , as they say , Rcolcky has used his paper for years In hammering down everybody opposed to htm and In fact line lest his foothold among j. the Bohemians by reason of his personal nt- " " tacks. When asked what would be the probable number of republican Bohemians who would follow Koslcky Into the pope cratlc camp one of them said : "In my Judgment It will not exceed fifty , although there Is a possibility that there may bo as many ns soventy-flvo Bohemians In Omiiha nnd South Omaha who still take stock In Ucslcky'a paper. Our people have talked this matter over and most ot us have 1 , reached the conclusion that Iloslcky has , ; made the deifcat of Vaclav Buresh as a. can- I' dldato for clerk of the district court a mere pretext for a long-cherished plan to turn the politics of his paper over to the democratic nldo. Some ot his most inttmato friends tell mo that ns long ago as last February ho said he contemplated this change , because ho believed It would tiring back many of the BUbecrlbero he had lost. The paper has steadily lost ground In Omaha and all through tbo state , but It le not on account of politics , as I already have stated , but on account of his policy in abusing people whom IlOBlcky does not like or with whom he dis agrees. " > < ! ' " vi i ilr N'o"siocU IB the Pokrok. "Tho Bohemian republicans , " said a Bo- hotnian worklngmnn , "take no stock In the Pokrok , because only three weeks ago that paper claimed to bo Influenced only by a ( U'fiho to have the Bohemians recognized by lopubllcana and to teach a lesson to the party because It did not place Buresh on their ticket. But now Roslcky has openly admitted that he Is making this fight on account of the annexation of the Philippines and militarism. If that was really his mo tive , why did ho not say so In the first place ? Why did he try to make us believe that we were much abused and outraged by the re publican party In not recognizing our claims to ofllco ? Another thing that wo notice Is this : When Holcomb was nominated for supreme judge Roslcky came out with an article ngalnst him , nnd now he wants us to support Holcomb , when nothing has hap pcncd alnco that article was published , and ho has no charges to bring against Rccso. Wo cannot comprehend why ho turned around and wants us to follow him after saying that Holcomb had violated all bis pledges and was-not to bo trusted. " > ot to He Led by the None. ' 'Wo ' do not psupose to be led by the nose by Mr. Roaicky , or any other man , " sold another Bohemian. "Ho has misrepresented ua when ho snys thnfwo all felt outraged by the defeat of Ilurosh. Wo think that Bur esh made a great mistake In not accepting another place when It was offered to htm , and , furthermore , Buresh was n democrat only four years ago , and there are many among us who have been republicans fifteen or twenty yeais. Besides this , all this fuss and howling Is made to show that Rostcky can pull the Bohemians In any direction ho wants to , so that ho should get his reward next year In the presidential campaign. It In of greater advantage to us to have our working people employed than to have ono or two of our leaders In olHces that pay big ! but help nobody else. If RoslcUy had only confined himself to asking us to vote for our Bohemian countryman on the democratic ticket wo would not object to It , hut when ho asks us to vole for mery democrat , and avon these whom ho has denounced OB bad , yo certainly will not bo delivered. " This Is the substance of the talks as far aa The Bee can learn and they Indicate that thn Bohemian defection will turn out to be a tempest In a teapot.

The letter closes i tvllh an appeal for each and alt of them to 1 oto for Silas A Holcotnh for supreme Judge , o avert this calamity. It Is an open secret down In Bohcmlantown that this was con cocted ni the I'okrok omce and that Vodlckn , who carried the petition around , had his n.imo Inserted In the middle so as to avoid ho nppearauco that ho was thq cat'spaw. The fact that ho spent nearly a week to get nliio signatures would Indicate that the bug bear of a btandlng army has not frightened many Bohemians , especially when they know that nobody has been or In likely to bo drafted into the army. WORK THAT WILL NEVER WIN KfTort to Mlitlciul l r hood the Hebrew Citlzciin of Omnlin. As a part ot Its campaign of unscrupulous falsehood nnd scandalous fnkcry the World- Herald Is publishing a letter which has been sent out through the fusion machine over the blgnaturo ot Jacob Marks to the He brews of the city In order. It possible , to array them against the republican party and lead them to believe In an Imaginary griev ance , and that It Is their duty to resent It. The offer was mode to have the Marks cir cular suppressed for a cash consideration , and Its publication was the result ot a prompt refusal on the part of the republican managers to "cough up. " The latter tries to make out a special ' we against Louis Burmoflter , republican candidate for sheriff , attempting to lay against him especial re sponsibility for the failure of Charles S. Elgutter to eecure the republican nomina tion for county Judge In the late republican county convention nnd charges him with having said that the office was too good for any Jew. When seen this morning Air. Bur- mchter said In reference to the matter : "Tho charge Is entirely without foundation. I have never entertained any prejudice against Jews. On the contrary , as council man and In other ways , I have tried to help them In many respects. I have secured for them a reduction of the pawnbrokers' license and assisted thctn at every opportunity. " Charles S. Elgutter , when the matter was brought to his attention , said : "The letters of Marks have been sent out without ray consent and against my ex pressed wish and I have no sympathy with them or Ihelr purpose. I heard that Marks bad prepared such letters several days ago and asked him not to circulate them , as they would put mo In a lalse light , when I am supporting the republican ticket. Whatever grievance I may have against Mr. Burmcstcr Is purely personal. I do not know of Mr. Burmester saying that the office I sought was too good for any Jew and I do not be- llevo that ho said so. " CONGRESSMAN TOWNE TALKS Pnlntn OlU < erlinr Word IMrtnrcM for Popoi-riUlc AuilU'iice nt Crt-lKh- toii Hnll , Hut rnlln to Score. Ex-Congressman Charles A. Towno of Min nesota addressed a popocratlc audience at Cre'lghton hall Thursday night. Ho spoke for an hour-and-a-half , making pretty word- plcturcs and soaring to heights of eloquence. An honest analysis of his speech reveals nothing but words. Hqro is a sample of his style : "Tbo republicans nro crowing about this whoopcd-up , fictitious , unreal unsteady and temporary prosperity that Is flitting over the country. " He admitted that prosperity has come , and then attempted to show that It Is not permanent and that the only salvation of commercial prosperity is the election of tlie popocratlc ticket throughout , Ho Jumped Into the Philippine war ques tion and declared that the president has dishonored himself. Ho touched the trust problem In the same style. Mr. Towno says he left the republican party because he could not conscientiously icturii to congrcFB on the platform adopted at St. Louis. Ho Is now a radical popocrat and has been mnhlne speeches at several different places since the campaign opened. G. M , Hitchcock presided at the meeting and Congressman Sutherland mode a few brief remarks as a preface to Mr. Tow no's speech. WANT WOMEN TO REGISTER ilth AVnrd IIoiiubllrmiN CnnMlruc It to lie the Safer 1'lnii for Them to Adopt. At a meeting of the Seventh ward re publicans Thursday evening , attention was directed to the fact that but four women had registered in tbo ward to vote on the Beard ot Education and It was stated that they -wero all of democratic tendencies. II AN as suggested that republicans Induce their wives to register and the suggestion eeomed to meet with favor. U was stated that City Attorney Council had ghen the opinion that It is not necessary for women to register In order to vote , but tint the state superin tendent of public Instruction had bold other wise and that the latter 1ms authority to construe the school laws. H was seemingly agreed that it would be the part of wis dom to have women wishing to vote on the school board to take the precaution to register. Old holillcru' Itnlly. The Union Veterans' Republican club ha made arangernents for a big demonstration Saturday night at their usual place of meet Ing In the Continental block. Charles J Grecse will bo the orator of the evening am the announcement of his wpeech will bo suf flclent to attract a large crowd The meeting Is not In any way restricted to old soldiers but all who wish to hear a clear and forclbl discussion of the Issuru of the campaign are urged to attend.

SEVENTH WARD REPUBLICANS CJooil Crowd 1 , Intend In RstfOMurrn of Some I-nnlon I'nllnclfi mill The Seventh ward republicans held nn Interesting meeting with n good attendance ot voters at 120S Park avenue last evening. George A Day presided. Henry Flnko of Milwaukee was first In troduced and spoke for some tlmo on na tional I'sfltica , merely mentioning state Is sues to eay that republicans everywhere nro Interested this year In the result In Ne braska , as the campaign has been given national significance. From his observa tions In the state ho was led to expect n sweeping republican victory. Mr. Flnko devoted eomo tlmo to n discussion ot Carl Schurz and his opposition to the adminis tration on the pretcnso ot opposition to Im perialism and showed how Schurr had raised the same cry against Grant. The outcry ngalnst Imperialism was but a false pre tcnso to catch the German vote , which could not bo caught by the fallacies of free silver and frco trade. Ho put against the utter nnces ot Schurz these of General Franz Slgel , who recently spoke In no uncertain tones advising his friends to stand by the government. Ho said that Stgel's speech would have more Influence among Germans than that ot Schurz. It was announced that B. F. Thomas , can didate for police judge , was unable to bo present because of the prevalence of scarlet - lot fever In his family , but Messrs. Wood Smith and Johnson , candidates for the Board of Education , each spoke briefly. Congressman Dave Mercer .rcsountcd the prosperity of the country under the pro tective tariff of the republicans and the lact of It under a frro trndo regime , touched J upon the money question and pointed out the hollowness ot the antl-lmperlallsm pretenses of thn modern copperheads , cloning with neighborly discussion of his observations abroad that Intensified his lo\e for his na tive land. John L. Kennedy responded to a call of the chair and spoke briefly but forcibly In pointing out the Inconsistency of the dem ocratic party In Its solicitude for the Fil ipinos In the face of Its attitude en tha slav- I ory question. BACK DOWN ON BETTING BLUFF PoaocrntH * IKHlrito Stake Moiioy oil tlic Election "Melts Knpldlv AVIion CnnU In Offered. The bluffs thrown out by the gang run ning the fusion campaign In this county received a sudden call-down yesterday. George Brooks of Bazlle Mills had been readIng - Ing about demociotlc money going begging In Omaha with an offer of 10 per cent com mission made In the World-Herald to any one who would find Reese money to place , and decided to come down from the north to accept the commission nnd the bets. He called at the World-Herald oftlce nnd showed a roll of bills , but after a whole day's hur rying and scurrying nil the popocrats were able to cover was $350 , while George stood smlllnp with a large part of his .roll srlll in his hand. Another case of popocratlc crawfishing Is reported as growing out of the loud talk of the notorious Walter Molse. Molse was of fering to put up all eorts of coin on the man who gave him a colonel's commission on his staff when governor. Buck Keith ran down town and came back with $100 , but Moise had changed his mind when the bluff was called and the bet was not effected.

Irving Johnson , rector of St. Mar tin's Dplscopal church , lectured Thursday night at St. Paul'a church , corner of Thlity- econd and California streets , on "Why Do Vo Have a Creed' " Rev. Mr. Johnson Is n forceful speaker and his address was lla- ened to with the closest attention on the > art of a large audience. The speaker said n part : "The Christian belief lo not a matter of private opinion. Christ came to teach men hat which neither the keenness of Aristotle lor the brilliancy of Plato could give them he gospel of salvation. The very word gos pel moans a message of good news. A mcs- age Is not something which a man derives rom his own brnln , but that which Is com municated to him from without. Christ poke this gospel with authority , not as the Scribes nnd Pharisees , with plausible argu ment. "Verily , verily , I say unto you except you do eo and BO you cannot be saved. No ex planation other than that which was fur nished by His own august presence and His miracles ot love and power. "Persons say It makes no difference what wo believe. Ono belief Is as gcoj ns an other. Without a dellnlle belief wo would have no definite action. I3ven the man who says 'I do not believe In God' has a creed. The man does not , cannot live who liao no creed. "The Christian creed that has the author ity of universal use Is that known as the Apostles' creed. Amerlcaco seem to have a fancy that Christ preached to Americans and these of the nineteenth century. As n matter of fact , Chrlfat preached equally to the Jew of the first century , the Greek of the third , tha Roman of the fifth , the baibarlan of the sixth , the Celts of the seventh , the Anglo- Saxon ot the tenth , the Norman of the twelfth. To all men everywhere and at all tlm&i was the gospel preached. The Apes tles' creed Is the only creed that all these nations have heard. All confessions ot faith nro local , bollovcd by one set of men In one age. The Apcstles' creed represents the teaching of the fathers In the second century and the Nlceno council In thr fourth. The philosophy of the creed le to be seen In the eevcn articles which It contains. "First , 'I bellovo In God , the Father,1 second , 'In God , the Son ; ' third , 'In God , the Holy Ghost.1 These three nrtlclea teach ur. the source of life the Ever Blessed Trinity The latt three articles the for- glvcneos of eln , the resurrection cf the bojy , thp life everlasting the three purposes for which men live and which they can find ' only' in Christ Jesus. But attention Is called to the middle article of the creed , narnoly , 'I believe In the Holy Catholic church. This is the connecting link between the source of faith and the end of faith , so that the creed may bo Interpreted as follows. From God the Father , God the Son , God the Holy Ghent , through the Holy Catholic church , I hope to attain the for giveness of Bins , the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Thus (1) ( ) the Chris tian religion Is a matter of authority uud not ot opinion ; n gospel and not a philoso phy. (2) ( ) It has been handed down by every ago and In every clime (3) ( ) This faith has been kept by the church in the Apostles' creed , which Is a simple , dcHnlto and ( sci entific statement of the church's faith as be lieved by al'men | at all times In all places. " The lecture next Tuejday evening will been on tbo gubjrct , "What We files u by Apostolic tolic Succession. " SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. A a & - i-w-i. - The republicans are exceedingly confident these days of the ultimate result of the election next week. Fusion stock has been on the decline since the second day of regis tration mid the chances of a republican \lctory nro consequently enhanced. The registration up to date shows that more re publicans hn\o registered than democrats nnd this Is something which cannot he tin- orstood by the leaders of the fusion forces , n tbo second day of registration the demo- rats and populists worked hard and had ny number of carriages out hustling for otcrs. In spite of these efforts more re- ubllcans than democrats registered. Ono eason for this change In heart of South Jmahn voters Is the attitude of the Ger unds. A great many Germans who lime nl- tva > s voted the democratic ticket In the ast have switched this jonr and have reg- stcrcd as republicans. Quite n largo pro- ortlon of the Genmns who have registered s republicans decline to speak of their linngo of heart , but It IB known that this method In taken by the Hermans to ndmln- ster n rebuke to the local democratic ad ministration. Several times within the last e\v months the Germans of the city 1m e not only been turned down but have been nimlllatcd by the emissaries of the local administration. At the time , the Germans said nothing , but now they consider that . heir tlmo has come nnd they ha\o declared j I .heir Intel tlon ofotlng the republican .Ickct this fall with n view to carrjlng the city for lucal republican candidates next spring. Although the notice of the supreme court decision In connection with the office of po- Ice judge wan only received n day or two since , Judge Rabcock Is now actively en- aged In a camp-ilen and Is making friends wherever he goes. The change of the office of police judge from n municipal to a county or state ofllco Is rather sudden , but repub licans wcro not to bo found napping nnd Judge Habcock lllcd his petition shortly after Patrick King , the fusion candidate , did. Bibcock has hosts of friends hero who will rally to his support and ho will bo elected , A. big republican rally will be held In Brjno's hall , Thirty-second and Q streets , on Saturday night. Senator Van Uusen and Lee Estollo will be the speakers. It Is ex pected that candidates will also bo present at this meeting. Chllil rntiilly Hunted. MIna , the 5-jcar-old daughter of Sir , nnd Mrs. O. H. Hlitt , Thirty-flfth and X streets , was burned to death yestctday afternoon. At the tlmo of the accident the girl was lighting papers and stuffing them Into the steve In the front room of the house. In some way her clothing caught fire. In a moment following the ignition of her dress the child ran into the front yard and screamed for help. Mra. J. W. Whonn , a neighbor , saw the predicament of the child and hastily tore the burning clothes from the body. The child was then carried Into the house. Mrs. Hlatt was busily engaged In the kltched and did not know of the trouble uptll the burning body of the child was carried Into the house. Dr William Berry was called and he did everything pos sible to relieve the suffering nnd prevent serious results , but In splto of all that could be done the child died about 3 o'clock. The remains are In charge of the Brewer com pany nnd the funeral announcement will bo made later. I'ntnl Accident nt . W. G. Smith , a millwright employed at Swifts , met with a painful accident last evening. While engaged In his duties in the fertilizer plant , Smith in some way al lowed his left leg to be drawn into a con veyor and before the machinery could bo stopped the leg was horribly crushed. As soon as possibly the Injured man was re to the South Omaha , hospital , where Dr. Thomas Kelly attended him. Physicians amputated the leg last night and Smith died shortly afterwards from the shock. The body was removed to Brewer's undertaking rooms and the coroner notified. The IVonle AVniit Mercer. Local republicans are crying for Mercer. Dave Mercer Is one of the most popular re publicans in this district and every one- hero desires an opportunity of listening to hla talk. The central committee will be made aware of the desires of the people hero and It Is more than likely that Mr. Mercer will bo billed for a speech before the campaign closes. As every ono knows Congressman Mercer has Just returned from an extended trip abroad and It is the the desire of the people of South Omaha that the representative from this district speak hero arid tell of the conditions 'existing among the people In foreign lands.
