"What have you to say regarding the treat

"I have nothing to say about that; It

"Tho police department is entitled to great

Inheres In preventing such trouble. Durlns
all tho excitement of Tuesday nnd Tuesday
night there was not a single disorderly net
at tho poll. It was not necessary to mako
an arrest. Everything passed off smoothly,
a condition which would not havo been pos

"Charges were mado by tho fusion man

BIG MONEY WON AND LOST

Wliincrn Include .Some of tlcc Mont
Prominent lliilne .Mrn In the
City nml .Money Ik Itcnillly
Turned (Ivor oil Denuded.
This municipal election brought about
many wagers. It Is conservatively esti
mated that at least 125,000 .changed hands,
nnd thcro has been a general reckoning to
day In saloons, cigar stores nnd other places
whero men abput toin. aro. In the hnblt of
congregating. While Borne of the losers nre
Inclined to bo a trifle despondent, they ns n
general rulo nro accepting their defeat with
good grace becoming tho "gamo fellown"
they nro reputed to be. Of comic tho money
goes to republicans, for they bei on Moorce
In his race against l'oppleton. Many of tho
beta wero for ns high as $500 among the
wealthier class, while with those less ple
thoric of purse the amountn dwindled down
to ns low as $5 and oven less. While some
bets wero placed on the whole, ticket, tho
greater number were directly on Mooroa and
l'oppleton.
Sonic of tho Winner.
One of the luckiest winners Is Iluck Keith.
It Is said that his winnings aggregate over
$1,000, tho bets being placed among various
Individuals of tho fusion faith. Mr. Keith
was Jubilant yesterday. Another heavy win
ner Is n Hoard of Trade mnn, who requests
that his namo be spared publication. Ho
placed $1,000 an Moores and Is therefore
that much richer.
John Sorcnson of Davenport, la., hap
pened In town n day or two before the elec
tion and bet $100 with Gilbert M. Hitchcock
of the World-Herald. Of course Mr. Hitch
cock bet on l'oppleton, and of cotirso Mr.
Sorenson won the money. Mr. Sorcnson In
a former resident of Omaha and still retains
largo acquaintance here. It Is said that Mr.
Hitchcock lost considerable other money,
but particulars on this point arc meager, ns
many of his wagers were for small oums
nnd scattered widely among various Individ
uals. Ono of the most notable Incidents of tho
campaign wagers wan tho fact that Lee
Hcrdman, well known as n fusion leader,
lost $1,000. It Is said that theso bets wero
placed with various persons.
A well known Fifteenth street saloon man
won $500 on Moores. He Is too modest to
allow his namo to he mentioned, but he has
tho roll to show his good Judgment.
Julius Cooley Is nround town wear
ing a big smile and Is doing tho honors to
his friends as often ns opportunity presents
Itself. Ho says ho can afford' It, for ho car
ries n pocketful of money. His winnings on
Mooreo aggregate an even $100.
Ono man who has always claimed to be a
republican, but who It Is said knifed Mayor
Moores, bet $3 on Poppleton. He tried to
keep his loss secret, but tho gossips have
tho story and It Is regnrded ns a good Joke.
Tho lzo of his bet is looked upon as an
Index to tho faith this man had In tbe
strange? gods ho followed, for ho Is wealthy
and could have bet a much larger sum had
ho so desired.
Among the miscellaneous winnings men
tioned nro $300 by Tom Ilalfe, $75 by Georgo
Kearney, $300 by Roy Furnas, $300 by Charles
Robertson and a suit of clothing by Frank
Palmer.
I.orko Aro lloavj-.
Probably tho heaviest Individual loner Is
a well known tailor, It Is said that ho Is
out $700 and that ho accepted his 111. luck
gracefully. Yet hejjs not particularly .Jubi
lant. It Is also reported that Ralph
Kitchen lost $500. Tho Instances cited In
tho foregoing winnings, and losses aro only
a few out of hundreds. Many men laid
wagers and stipulated secrecy from tho
stakeholders and all parties concerned. Of
theso tho story will never bo told. Well In
formed politicians and men njjotit town say
that not within 'tho last dojeon years has
thero been bo many election bct's.and of such
nggregato value. Tho loud boasts mado by
tho fusion managers Just prior to the cam
paign caused many an unwary popocrat,to
place his money In good faith. Poppleton
himself declared In his speoeches that he
had overy assurance of election, and his
managers gave It out an a "suro tip" and In
strict confidence to popocrats who had money
to bet.
As a result of this Interchange of cash
thoro Is more or Irss rcvolry nnd good fel
lowship among the triumphant element,
nnd thcro Is material evldenco of pros
perity, It tho ringing of ensh registers may
bo taken as nn index. As an Instance of tho
high esteem tho public has for Mayor Moores
nnd of the enthusiasm which gen
erally prevails It may bo cited
that It required nearly an hour
for tho muyor to walk from Fifteenth nnd
Farnnm streets to the city hall yesterday
morning. While covering that dlstanco ho
probably phook hands with over 200 men who
crowded about him to offer' congratulations,
TALKS ON PERSIAN MISSIONS
Dr. .Irsslc AVIIhoii, Who linn Soon
.Much of I.lfo In I'orlii, Deliv
er Lecture.
Miss Jrsslo Wilson, who Is known In
missionary work as Dr. Wilson, becauso
hc is .a physician, lectured nt tho Castellar
Street Presbyterian church Wednesday night
on Persian missions. Mies Wilson Is a
slsler of Rev. J. M. Wilson, who was for
thirteen years pastor of tho Castellar Street
church and wlio left here last fall for
Iloulder, Colo. Miss Wilson was accorded
a most hearty reception by her brother's
former congregation. She Is visiting rela
tives In Omaha and will Imvo next week
for Philadelphia, whero she will take a
post-graduato courao In mndiclnc, after
which she will return to Persia tr resumo
mhslonnry work. Miss Wilson has Bpcnt
six years In that country, returning to the
United States on- vacation a few months
ago. Her homo Is In Pennsylvania.
For nn hour and a half 5Il?s Wilson talked
In detail of her experience as a physician
nnd missionary among the Persian Moham
medans. Sho delivered her lecturo In nar
rative form nnd told many Interesting sto
ries, The missionary society with which tho
speaker Is connected maintains a dispen
sary for tho treatment of tho sick and In
order to teach theao simple peoplo tho les
non of self-reliance a small feo Is charged
for medical services In all cases whero tho
patient Is able to pay for it. "We pull
teeth for 2 cents each," said Miss Wilson,
"and they think that Is n high price, for
tho native dentists, who are also barbers,
extract teeth at about half that price.
Money has great purchasing power in Per
sia, but tho troublo Is that the people aro
so oppressed that they have Bcurcely any
money. They are- slow lo learn tho customs
of our country, no matter how hard wo try
to teach, thorn,"
A rlpplo of laughter passed over tho au.
dlenco when Miss Wilson related tho story
of a woman who called upon her for treat
ment. "I gavo her a box of tablets," said
tho speaker, "and Just then my attention
was attracted to something elso for a mo
ment. Looking around to tho woman I
started to give her directions how to tnko
tho tablets, one at a time, and she aston
ished mo by saying' 'Why, I havo already
taken them.' It hapened, however, that
tbe mcdlclno was simply a harmless pre-
scrlptlon tor lumbago, so the results 'were
not serious."
A llttlo girl -was brought upon the stage,
dressed In tho street costume which all
Persian women must wear. It Is n long,
black gown, with n whlto veil extending
from tho forehead to tho feet, This makes
nil women look nllke, for their faces nro
entirely hidden. In tho house they wear
what In the) United States would bo called
a ballet dancer's gnrh. In Persia oplrltttal
teaching and medical treatment go hand
In hand nnd Miss Wilson says tho medical
ml8slonarlra are greatly reverenced by tho
natives.
An Interesting feature of the lecture was
a description of tho marriage customs. Llt
tlo girls from C to 13 years nro ellglbto
for marriage and there Is no limit to tho
number of wives one may take. In evidence
of this Miss Wilson cited tho caso of a
poor wntcr carrier who hnd been married
twonty-slx Hlmes. Mlfs Wilson sang rj
song In tho Persian language and exhibited
a number of trinkets from that country.
I SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
c a a
Tho statement made In yesterday's Heo re
garding tho condition of tho registration
books caused a great deal of surprise In
both democratic nnd republican circles. It
Is ndmlttcd on nil sides that the Irregu
larities lit the books will cause a great deal
of trouble and dissatisfaction on primary
day, but no ono seems nblo to suggest a
remedy. The law Is silent on this sub
ject, nnd it Is hardly probable that mistakes
mado nt tho registration last fall can bo
roctlllcd at this time. From nn examina
tion of the books It appears that both demo
crats nnd republicans-will suffer nllke, and
so thero will hardly bo any ndvuntnge gained
by cither side. As n rulo tho republicans1
registered In better shape than the demo
crats on account of their being moro fa
miliar with tho law. It Is hardly probable
that tho city council will be nblo to rectify
any of the errors, though nn effort may bo
mado to call the registration board together
for tho purpose.
Thoso who havo Investigated tho matter
assert that tho only solution In to secure the
selection of competent men on the regis
tration board next fall. A great mnny men
served on tho board l.tet October who wero
Incompetent by reason of lack of education
nnd nlso by reason of having reached tho ngo
limit. The causo of most of tho errors
In tho books Is traceable to cither Ignorance,
neglect or carelessness. It Is stated that
tho ipay Is sufficient to secure competent
men, nnd It Is moro than probable that otno
changes In tho board will ho recommended
to tho county Judgo this fall when he comes
to making up a now board.

Ilcnth ItcMiltcil from Acute Cnu
UcMlon of (lit llrnln.
A post-mortem examination of the body
of Lotilso L.trsen, tho young woman who nr
rived from Lincoln Tuesday afternoon,
brings to light facts which tend to dis
prove tho theory of suicide. It Is now the
opinion of Corotmr Swnnson that death re
sulted from actito congestion of tho brain
Thero was no evldenco of poison in the
stomach. The fact that her leg was burncl
, by carbolic ncld Is thought to be merely nc-
cldental. Of Itself this would not havo
caused death. Tho fragments of a bottle
I which had contained hls drug were found
I In the pocket of her skirt.
I Coroner Swnnson adds that if sho had
survived tho malady Insanity would prob
ably havo ensued in a short time. Shortly
I beforo her death (Miss Larson was overheard
to express a fear that she would become
I Insane.
An inquest will he held at Coroner Swnn
I son's rooms Thursday morning at 0 o'rlurk.
j A telegram sent Tuesdny to the young
j woman's father, Peter Larson, a farmer at
