Mr. Boone was .born In slavery In the state of Vir ginia Juno 7 , 1788 , on the plantation ot a rich Virginia planter named Sandals.

When his first master died ho wont to Arkansas with Mrs. Blunt , hla master's daughter , and remained there until ho was liberated by General Curtis , by whom ho was brought to the north , Mr. Boone is In remarkably good health and bodily vigor and works around the house con tinually. He retains his memory splendidly and can remember distinctly the news of the death of George Washington , as ho was at that tlmo 11 years of age. In the old slavery times the marriages of the slaves wcro arranged entirely to suit the convenience of their masters and Mr , Boone has had eight wives , nearly all of whom wcro sold away from him to some other estate.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. | 5 _ v _ _ ft-4 , , * . > . .rf > _ a.- fr-a > - * Preparations for the election to bo held Tuesday will ho completed toda > . Voting booths have been located to the bast pos sible advantage and are doubtless known to every one. The polls will open at S o'clock In the morning and will close at 6 o'clock In the evening , These hours differ from the city election In that at alt city c-lectlons the polls open at 9 o'clock In the morning and close at 7 o'clock In the evening. It Is understood that all of theemployes ot the great corporations hero will be given nn opportunity of voting some tltn * . during the day. The work will be so managed that the men will each be allowed nt least one hour oft duty In order to enable them to vote. vote.U U was reported on the streets yesterday that a. pollscman doing duty In the Fourth ward gave It out cold that no ono would be allowed In the booths to watch the count. The omccr has evidently been misinformed , as this question Is plainly decided on page S3 ot the Nebraska election laws. Section 19 on the page mentioned reads as follows : "Ilcforo any ballot shall bo deposited In the ballot box the ballot box shall be pub licly opened nnd exhibited and the Judges nnd clerks Fhall sec that no ballot Is In such box ; after the box shall he locked and the key delivered to ono of the Judges , U shall not bo again opened until the close of the polls ; and the ballot box shall not bo removed from the view of the electors present until the polls are closed and all of the votes shall have been counted and can vassed ; nor shall two of the Judges ho absent from the room or uuuuing in wmcn the election Is held , at the same time , during such voting and canvassing. " Those who have thoroughly canvassed the local situation arc not backward In predict ing a good , big republican vote. Ono well- known candidate who Is In close touch with all tbn different nationalities said yesterday that It was a mistake to think that the Dohcmlans were going to vote the fusion ticket. This conclusion had been arrived at by conversation with a number ot prominent Bohemians. One of these Bo hemian leaders said that In his opinion the majority of the Bohemians would vote the republican ticket. It was admitted that Bohemian politicians had been trilling with the fusion leaders , but when It came tea a square understanding the fuslonlsts had not kept the pledges made to the Bohemians nnd consequently the vote would bo the same as It has been In the past , principally republican. A few changes In the total registration will doubtless 'bo made when the books are returned to the city clerk nnd the footings gone over again for verification. The change , however , will ho slight , probably not moro than a dozen all told , nnd this will make no real difference In the total as reported In Sunday's Bee , which was 3,831. lli-iulillcnn Itnlly nt Frniiolc'H Hull. Republicans to the number ot 100 or more met at Franek's hall , Twentieth and S streets , Sunday afternoon , and listened to speeches made by well-known republicans. Judge Dvorak presided and first Introduced 'Anton ' Donate , who spoke In Bohemian. Mr. Donate called the attention of the laboring people particularly to the change In the conditions and times since William McKlnloy was elected president ana confidence had been restored. The workingmen - ingmen were urged to continue this prosper ous condition ot affairs by continuing the republican party In power. Mr. Donate urged everyone to vote on Tuesday for a continuance ot prosperity. Chairman Dvorak next Introduced Edward Rosewater , who spoke for some little time In Bohemian and then delivered an address In English. The fallacies of Bryan and his theories were discussed at some length and those present were shown that pros perity only came after confidence had been restored by electing republicans to office. Candidate Holcomb was scored and a number of Incidents related which went to ohow that Holcomb Is not a fit person to occupy a high Judicial position. In speak ing of Imperialism and militarism Mi. Rosewater - water said that If Imperialism was to come from annexation it would be duo to the course of the democratic senators and Mr. Bryan , the former having voted for and the latter -worked for the -passage of the treaty of peace. In protecting life and property In the Philippines President Mc- Klnley la only doing his duty the same as ho protects the lives and property of those In Alaska or New York City. The discourses of both Mr. Donate and Mr. Rosewater wcro well received and tell ing remarks were frequently applauded. AdilrpNHCH Colored ItcnnlillrniiH. The colored republican voters ot South Omaha held an enthusiastic meeting Sunday afternoon. George Huso presided and C. C. Cameron acted as vice president. Dr. 31. O. RIcketts delivered a stirring address , In the course of wtlch he convincingly pointed out to bis people the proper course for them to pursue In the election tomorrow. Ho showed them how Holcomb had slapped them In the face and deserved no support from them , and expressed confidence that the colored rr.an would , as usual , vote for the party of progress and liberty.

LION'S ' SHARE FOR IDA COUNTY _ LV Monoua * 5s Not Allowed to Kama Either Legislivtivo Candidate. GEAR-CUMMINS FIGHT CAUSES ANOMM.Y - I3ICU Strife of Two Cniiillilntcn fop Srn- iilortnt HonnrN U'v IJutlrc o Smaller of Two Countlm. SIOUX CITY , In. , Nov. 6. ( Special. ) The fllrlfc between the Gear nnil Cummins fac tions In the Monona-Ida legislative district , In the attempt of the candidates for the United States senate to secure this dis trict favorable to their cantlldacy. has re- eultcd In a condition of things highly un satisfactory to the people of Monona county , Irrespective of political belief , by reason of , the fact that both republican ami democratic candidates have been chosen from Ida county. Under the last apportionment of the legis lative districts by the legislature , Ida county was attached to Monona , as Is alleged by the pormlletlc and democratic parties In Mononn county , for the purpose of securing a republican legislator from this district. Monona county for many years has been the hotbed of populism and tuft populists have controlled the county by quite large ma jorities , though In Into years It ban been gradually decreased. Ida county , on the other hand , has frequently given a repub lican majority and It Is claimed that It was attached to Monona county for the purpose of overcoming the popullstlc majority , If pos sible , rather than In compliance with con stitutional requirements , popularly supposed to covern In such matters. Election after election has come and gone and populist can didates have been elected from Monona county. Moimim Feel * SIlKhtcil. Asldo from the matter of politics , It Is claimed. Justly or unjustly , that the legislator snouiu come irora iuai county , Inasmuch as under the ap portionment Mononn would be entitled tea a representative of Its own , II the same rule was applied to It , as Is applied to other counties with like population. Ida county at the tlmo of the passage of the last ap portionment act only had a population of 11,000 , and now , owing to the fact that both the leading political parties have chosen their candidates from Ida county , It furnishes an example of the tall wagging the dog to such .an extent that It Is highly unsatis factory to the people of Monona county. Under these circumstances , the candidacy of Nathan Llmlsey. middle-of-the-road pop ulist , for the legislature In Monona county has developed unexpected strength. The flght which Is now In progress has been largely stripped of Its political character by reason of the fact that many of the leading politicians of the -county , Irrespective of party , have Identified themselves with his candidacy and It Is now conceded by those who have kept themselves In touch with the political situation In this district that he will poll a vote largely In excess of that usually given to candidates of his party.
