THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : FRIDAY , FEBIU'ARY 2 , 11)00. ) FRESH POLITICAL LUSS1I1 flew Primary Law Mtkes Much Preliminary Woik " V DATES OF THE VARIOUS CITY CONVENTIONS I'rlnrlpnl Activity or the rn1ltlrlaim In the City Ciun- In Still hlrlctl ) fnilcr Cover. Preparation of the respective lists of reg istered voters by representatives of the re publican and democratic parties Is still In progr . For the republicans the original list taken from the registration books Is completed and the force has adjourned to the counril chamber , where the namea are b lng booked alphabetically by wards. Joe Duller and J. A. Fllzpatrlck are still grinding away at the democratic llsta and have nearly completed thtlr work. The populist \\aie \ \ arc being prepared In a desultory uort of way by representatives of the various wards. Some perplexity Is being experienced In the preparation of the latter lists , owing to the various terms cm- ployed in the expression.of political affilia tion. Some of the populist representatives copy Into their lists all who are registered as "Independent , " "people's Independent" nnd "populists. " while others contend that those who registered simply as "Independ ent" should be left out , as many voters who are known to belong to the old parties cticaped giving their party affiliation by de claring themselves to be Independent. 7he populists will bo first in the field with their primaries Friday of this week , which Is also ground hog day. Under a misapprehension that certificates of nomina tion had to be filed thirty days before elec tion they originally decided to hold their city convention next Saturday , but evidently upon the suspicion that they would eee their EhadowB nn primary day they have since determined to go back into their holes for a week and have changed the date of their convention to February 10 to correspond with the dates of the silver republican and democratic conventions , when , if the demo crats are prepared to give bond for faithful performance of contract and will promise equitable distribution of spoils to nlllee In case of a three-cornered victory , fusion will undoubtedly be effected. Silver republicans will hold their caucuses Wednesday of next week and the democrats on the following day. The latter will be worth going miles to witness , as it will determine the su premacy of the rival factions represented by the Jacksonlan club and County Democracy in the conduct of the convention that will occur two days later. The republican pri maries occur on Thursday , February 15 , and the convention on Friday , February 16. "I will not bo a candidate for mayor , " Bald Captain H. E. Palmer Wednesday. "I did say once that I would be a candidate Just to carry the Seventh ward against Chaffee , but now that I have scared Chaffee out we are simply going to deliver the ward to Blngham. That's all there Is to It. We have It all fixed to give the ward to Bine- ham , and 1 won't even have to be here. In fact , I must bo at a committee meeting in Washington February 14 to look after thi ; bill for the old soldiers' sanitarium at Hot Springs and some other railroad interests , eo I will miss both the city primaries and the city convention , but that will make no difference with the result so far as the Sev enth ward Is concerned , as wo will have everything settled before I leave. "Of course I will bo hero yet for the state committee meeting at Lincoln next week. [ Although we have not decided Just what we will do , as chairman of the executive com mittee I expect to have a decisive word as to time , place and manner of holding the state convention. You know I am one ot those who are on the state committee for n two years' term. That Is why I am going right ahead with the work of the coming campaign. " In its Indignant explosion ngalnst the secretaries of the State Board of Transporta tion for their masterly Inactivity the Potci Cooper club spoke too hastily. It carefullj cxcepted from Its criUcl&ni Secretary of Stat < Porter and Attorney General Smyth. Now that the latter has , votcsl against tbi former's rcBolutlon for a reorganization o ; tbo corps of secretaries , there Is cause foi the Peter Cooper club to rnovo to amend. Intimations are heard that the member ship committee of the Peter Cooper club wll take too seriously Councilman Stuht's as- eertlon that ho has belonged to the re publican party for thirty-four years and wll Interpose an obstacle to his effort to breal Into tbo populist party , as the rules of thi club require members to be populists. Stuht however , expects to pull through by showlnt his certificate of nomination as populist can tlldato for the council In 1803. when he wai beaten by 1'ete Hack , the rcpubllcat nominee. "What Is the I'atriotlc league going to d ( with all Its money ? " is thequestlon propounde < by a Seventh ward republican. "Is It golni to use it simply to pay salaries to a fev professional politicians on the ofllclal User or Is It to bo upent to capture prloiarles o : to knife republican candidates after nomlna tlon because they do not belong to that un savory organization ?

Velser has dc vllned to be enrolled as a .member of th social democracy. At n meeting of the or gantzatton lat-t week u commute wu treated to wait upon Yclser and accertali whether or not he would consent to becom the candidate of the social democracy fo mayor.

MOI3E PLEADS NOT GUILTY I. ) nilAhliotl In 1o lip the Cnndldnlc of llio t'ounlDemocracy for Clinlrninii City I'oniinUtcc. An overflowing meeting of the County Democracy last evening took emphatic ex ceptions to eamc of the declarations made at the meeting of the Jacksonlan club last Saturday and gracefully stepped Into a muddy shoe evidently left out for the use of members of that organization. As usual In such cases they find their foot.vo.ir pinchIng - Ing a little and manifest the annovance It seems to cause them by the following : Whereas. According to the newspaper re port of the proceedings of the last meeting of the Jacksonlan club Its president Is fUotf | > d n.n tmvlns snld that "For u club organlzpd to promote demo cratic prln < lpl s nn-l democratic candidate * hu could entertain only the highest respect , but when n Vlub Is organized to vent the s pleon of some Individual democrat , or to do' fomo democrat , Jacksonlans must meet It iiH > n the same conditions as they would moot r publicans , " and Whereas , rfuch remarks could only bo In tended tn reply to the Douglas County Democracy ami arc absolutely untrue as to the purpose and objects of this organization , and Whereas. At the same met-tlng several members are quoted as having declared that the fight at tiho- coining primaries should be wage I. not as against thl * club , but against the leadership of Walter Molso. and U'herpHS , Some democrats who ore op- pnscd to this club have been IndustriouHly circulating a report that the light of the Douglas County Democracy at the coming primaries was to secure the election of said Walter Molse an chairman of the city central committee , when they know full well that Mr. Molse Is not a-candldate for said position and would not accept the office were It tendered to him , .having . already served live years In said position , and Whereas. Said report and statements are absolutely untrue and are being used for the sole purpose of deceiving the voters of this city as to the tru object of the light of rhls club , which Is the nomination of Frank J. Burkley for mayor , and Whereas , This organization has taken a stand and allowed the democrats of < hls county to fully understand their position upon all Important , questions , and Whereas. The members of this club feel that the democrats of this city should know who the candidate of this club for chairman of the city central committee will be In the event that they are. successful at the primaries , therefore be It Resolved , That the Douglas County De mocracy hereby endorse L. I. Abbott , one of our lute candidates for judge of the district court of this county , for chairman of said committee and , fiirt-her , hereby pledges that all delegations placed In the field by this club hall lH ! pledged to Frank J. Burkley for mayor and L. 1. Ai > bott for chairman of the city central committee. Reports of the most sanguine nature were received as to the prospects of the coming fight from followers In every ward. About forty-five new members were enrolled and Chairman J. A. Connor of the executive committee called a meeting of that organization for 11 o'clock next Sun day to take steps to provide "a little of the stuff that lubricates the wheels In every well conducted political fight.

LAONCHBARTLETT FOR MAYOR Seventh Ward Republicans Spring Candi date of Their Own. MAKE CAPTAIN PALMER SHOW HIS COLORS nnllinln tlo Merllnc nt Which Mnch Political Slrnvr In Tlironlicil tint ulth I'rnctlcnlly Ilnrino- nlon * Kcntilt. Large attendance and enthusiasm Charac terized a regular weekly meeting of the Seventh Ward Republican club held at the headquarters of the organization Thursday night. Chairman Day In the beginning noted the largo attendance and called for speeches from all so Inclined. The feature of the meeting was the launchIng - Ing of a mayoralty boom for 15. M. llartlett. A resolution endorsing his name was sub mitted by Clement Chase. Mr. Bartlctt was present. He sat on the stage of the hall. Immediately following the presentation of bis name there was an outburst of ap plause. Captain H. E. Palmer , who was one of the most enthusiastic members of the meet ing , was called upon and asked to show his colors. Captain Palmer responded. He talked briefly. Judge Baker of the district court was In attendance. He spoke pointedly as to the mayoralty proposition and declared he would do nothing to retard whatever chances his friend , Mr. Bartlett , may have. Loud calls for "Bartlett" brought the newly-launched man to the front. He thanked the meeting for Its endorsement and spoke in a general way for republican triumph at the polls. His appearance was marked by vociferous stamping of feet and handclapplng. He did not outline a policy , but simply declared allegiance to a popular form of municipal government. By a general vote it was decided that Mr. Bartlctt Is to bo allowed the privilege ol selecting his own delegates from the Seventh ward. This propceltlcn brought .forth a few objections , which were quickly silenced by the majority. Speeches were made by Theodore Olson , W. A. DcBord , C. L. Chaffce , D. T. Mount Bcecher HIgby , O. S. Ambler and others. More or less tumult prevailed nt timer nnd there was much zest. A motion to ad journ brought the answer that adjournmenl would be only for the time being. GOEBEL TRAGEDY PREDICTED Cnptnln Iloner Tell" of n I'ropliocj Mndc by n Kentucky Politician Severn ! .Month * AKO , Captain J. W. Roney , doorkeeper and as sistant sergeant-at-arms of the republlcar national convention of 1S9C , accompanied bj his wife , arrived In the city Thursday and is stopping In Omaha. He Is now gen eral traveling man for the Mutual Diamond mend company of Chicago , and incldentallj Is booked for the eamo honors In the Phila delphia convention this year that he en' Joyed In St. Louis four years ago. Captain Koney being a politician and hi' wife being a Kentucklan by birth , the : naturally take an active Interest In the pres. cnt stirring events in that commonwealth o the "Dark and Bloody Ground. " In con' nectlon with the shooting of Goebcl the cap tain brought out thl significant point : 'I happened to be in Paducah , Ky. , thi day before the convention in Lexlngtoi which nominated General Brown as the in dependent democratic candidate for governo : and rode about 100 miles on the train car rylng a Brown delegation. In conversatloi with several of these delegates , one re marked : 'We are pushing the candidacy o Brown to secure the election of Taylor am not -with any hope of electing Brown. If thi forthcoming election results in a contest be tween Taylor and Goebel , and the return : show that Taylor i elected , there will bi bloodshed before Goebel will be seated ai governor. ' 'If occasion required I'd be able to poln out the delegate who made that remark , a well as his companions , who endorsed it. " In reference to the shooting of John San ford by Goebcl fifteen years ago , Captali Roney said : "Sanford and Goebel were enemies becaus of a bill passed through the legislature b ; the latter inimical to the former's Interests One day they met on the steps of a banl of which Sanford was cashier when Goebc drew a revolver and shot him. The defens was that Sanford had made a motion aa i about to draw a pistol , and that therefor the shooting waa In self-defense. Upon thi theory Goebel was acquitted of murder I : the courts , but there existed In the publl mind a very grave doubt of his Innocence That he was quite generally condemned b his party la evinced by the fact that full one-third of the democrats of Kentuck voted for Brown. " WOMEN WANT MUDEL BLOC * City Improvement Committee of th WOIUUU'B Clnli linn ncr Plan to 1'ropone. The city Improvement committee of th Woman's club is preparing to renew actlv ity in behalf of the betterment of externc Omaha.

Mrs. Gilford Is looking up the mat ter at the head of a subcommittee. "If we establish mich a model block w will hope to have It extended later to othe blocks , and perhaps to the whole busines portion of the city. "Our committee meets next Wednesday February 7 , at the Woman's club rooms when the topic for dl : usslon la the 'Need of the City.

SOUTH OMAHA SEWS.Js \ number of improvements in contempla tion by the Omaha Cooperage company. Thirty-fifth and 1 streets , have been tem porarily abandoned on account of the diffi culty In securing the vacation of Thirty- fifth street from the. north line of 1 to the south line of H. Plans for < he erection of a new building were prepared some time ago and a portion of the land now owned by the cooperage company was filled with dirt taken from Armour's. M. D. Welsh , president of the company , was preparing , at the time the filling was going on to tnako application to ftho city council for the va- I eating of the street mentioned. The South Omaha I > aml company heard of the plan nn 1 j promptly Hied a remonstrance with the council. In its protest the land company says : "If the Idea is to give to the cooperage - ; erago company the whole street it will be In violation of the statutes , which provide that In case of vacating a street the same shall revert to the owners of the adjacent real estate , one-half on each side thereof. To give the whole street to the Omaha Cooperage company would take from the South Omaha Land company its half of the street without compensation and in viola tion of law. " At the time the remonstrance was filed It was referred to the council committee on streets and alleys and nothing can be done until the cooperage company flies an np- pllcatlon for the vacating of the street. It is understood that iMr. Welsh would like very much to secure this street , but in the Jnco of the protest he does not care to file an application. From present Information It appears that no attempt to enlarge the cooperage plant will be made for some time to come \lnless arrangements are made for the vacating of the street as proposed.

Receipts of live stock at the yards here for the thirty-one days of January numbered 209.020 head , divided as follows : Cattle 57.717 ; hogs , 150,370 : sheep. 70,927. An in crease of 15,368 head of cattle , as compared with January , 1899 , IB shown , but there is r decrease of both hogs and sheep. A shoit' age of 14.61G hogs and 11.047 sheep Is noted in the total for the month when compared with the first month of one year ago. Com' mission men and others interested are neat at all alarmed over the showing made , as it is thought that heavier receipts will seer follow and the deficit made up. Sheep wen a month late being placed on feed , thus making the receipts from a month to slJ ' weeks later tha'n usual. Hogs are repartee to be plentiful in both Nebraska and low : and big shipments will undoubtedly come ; little later.

The thrilling , ro mantic , realistic drama , "The Heart ol Maryland , " which has gained unusual favor with theater-goers since its original produc tion , when Mrs. Leslie Carter sustained the title role. Is presented this year by a com pany far above the plane ot mediocrity. Miss Alma Kruger Is seeu In the title role tc good advantage. Her presentment of Mary land , the charming , winsome southern lass whoso loyalty to the southland in the stirring days of the rebellion was not sufficiently strong to overbalance her love for a north' erner , despite her efforts in tblo behalf. 1 = exceptionally strong. She is an emotional actress of more than ordinary ability , pos sessed of a talent which has been fully recog nized slnco she began to star in "The Heart of Maryland" last season. It would be a phlegmatic person. Indeed whom the stirring situations In this plaj would fail to arouse to enthusiasm , and there were certainly but few of these num bered among the large audience whlcl greeted the Initial performance this seasor ot "The Heart of Maryland. " No opportunitj was overlooked to give the actors warm ap plause and Miss Kruger and her leading sup porters were compelled to respond to repeated - peated curtain calls. The play deals with ar Important period in the civil war. There is a predominance of mllltarlem In the entire story , with a charming love tale woven in tc enliven the historical interest. Maryland's love for Colonel Kendrick and her loyalty tc him stand out In bold contrast to the evl malice and hatred toward the lovers ol Colonel Thorpe of the secret service , tht traltoroufi spy who confesses himself a mat without a country. There is a noticeable attention to detail which makes the production almost faultless In ite presentation. Much of the success ol the play depends upon the scenic environ' ment and this is provided well-nigh per fectly. The belfry scene , wherein Maryland mounts the stairs of the old church towel and grasps the clapper of the bell , swaylns to and fro , to protect Colonel Kendrick Ir his escape , is especially realistic. Herbert Bostwick portrays the charactei of Colonel Thorpe , the villainous , un principled traitor. In a commendable man ner. The portrayal of such a character Is r thankless task for an acjor , but the audienci appreciated Mr. Bostwick's able effort , his splendid acting , and denoted Us appreelatlor by unstinted applause. Tefft Johnson ai Colonel Kendrick has a good stage presence an excellent voice and carried his par eminently well , as did , In fact , all the mem bers of the cast , upon whom devolved anj necessity for clever work.
