Tho trouble arofo over tho selection of n
temporary rhalrmnn. Ono faction headed by

ocratic ring, attempted to voto their ward
and precinct delegations according to tho
tinlt rtllo. James Mnnnhan, representing
tho opposing faction, demandcil a call of tho
roll In each ward or prcrlnrt In which there
vas a division. The ring had nominated J.
C. Halls for temporary (Jinlrmnn and tho
Manahan crowd had nominated Sam Whit
ing for the ramo position. Kach Hide liad
n randldato for the endorsement for district
rlolognto to tho national convention and
the voto cant for temporary chairman was
a test of their iclatlve strength, ("onsc
nuently the leaders of both sides waged a
bitter fight for possesion of the temporary
organization.
After n two hourn' discussion, which was
tho noisiest ever heard In tho building, J.
C Malls was declared elected nB temporary
presiding ollber. A motion was mndo to
Jnako tho organization permanent imd as

tho stage and all Forts of demands wore
lu-rled at tho chairman.
In tho midst of this accno of tumult the
lenders of tho contending factions wero
brought together and a compromise was
agreed upon. A. S. Tlbbetts was then de
clared tho permanent chairman and tho con
vention proceeded In Its deliberations. Tho
only business to bo transacted was the se
lection of delegates to the stato convention
and tho endorsement of n district delegate to
the. national convention.
After selecting the delegates to tho stnto
convention the meeting adjourned. No at
tempt was mado to secure the endorsement
of any candidate for district delegate, both
tides agreeing to leave the election entirely
with the state convention.
I.lltrnry Site,
Tho City Library board has Issued tho
following statement, explaining why tho
building site olTcred by D. K. Thompson
for the Carneglo library was not accepted:
"So fur as tho Library board commlttco
Is concerned, there was no misunderstand
ing In regard to Mr, Thompson's offer of a
fcltc.
"After the first action of tho board was
taken selecting Fourteenth nnd M as tho
site, provided that. three, lota could bethero
rrcured, tho committee waited on Mr.
Thompson and urged him to meet tho wishes
of tho board, conformably to the wish ex
pressed by him to give a slto that would
bo pleasing to tho board and to tho peoplo
of tho city. Tho answer was that he had
bought two lots at Eleventh and J, believ
ing that they would bo acceptable- to tho
board, and If the board could not accept
these ho was not proparcd to say what
ho would do.
"Whether tho offer to purchaso two lots
nt Fourteenth nnd,M was then still open
wo noeil not discuss. Mr. Carnegie had
6tatcd that threo lots were 'little enough'
nnd the third lot nt Fourteenth and M was
never offered and could not be had.
"As no progress was mado after ten days
waiting and solicitation the board took tho
only course, open and appealed to tho public
for subscriptions.
"Tho Llhrary board has never by any
action considered a slto lens than threo
lots. No offer to purchaso tho threo lots
selected or any threo lots In that vicinity
has been made to tho board."

Meat remedies for tho treatment of catarrh
nro In tho form of sprays, Inhalers, powders,
washes or salves, all purely local applica
tions and many of them often give tempo
rary relief, but tho reason nnno of them
ever really euro chronic catarrh Is because
catarrh Is not a local dlseaso and It cannot
bo cured simply by treating the local symp
tom i f.
Moreover tho moro serious forms of
catarrh, llko catarrh of the stomach and
catarrh of tho bronchial tubcH. cannot bo
reached at all by local applications nnd tho
fact thnt neglected cntnrrh of tho head very
soon Involves tho bronchial tubes, stomach
and liver, demonstrates thnt tho disease is a
blood disorder, a constitutional malady nnd
not nt all a local disease.
To roajly euro catarrh tho sjt,tem must
bo cleansed from catarrhal poison by an in
ternal remedy which ncu luVuilvely upon
tho blood and liver.
Tho succors of a new catarrh remedy,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, Is because It
drives out ot tho syntent, through nutural
channels, tho catarrhal poison and tho
mucous lining of tho nose, throat nnd
trachea nro freed from tho excessive mucus
which collects and c.ucs tho hawking,
(.pitting and gogglnn. because tho excessive
secretion Is not furnished from healthy
blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain many of
thn snmo valuable antiseptics used In sprayu
and Inhalers, hut Instead of being applied co
tho Inllamed membrunes of tho nose and
throat they nro taken Into tho stomach and
thus reach tho blood, the real seat nnd
causa of tho disease.
Stuart V Catarrh Tablets are large, pleas-
nt tasting lozenges, composed of (Jualnrol,
llucnlyptol. Ilydrustln, Hangulnatin and
Umllnr catarrh specifics nnd o safo to uo

OiuiiIiii to CIiIciiko.
All bouquets In rnllroal clrcltu this week
are labelled "Ilurllngton."
Since tho announcement that tho Ilurllng
ton would run four fast trains from Omaha
to Chicngo every day In the week, that
company has received .unstinted commenda
tion. The business men of Omnha. whoso
Interests are dependent upon quick servile
to and from tho east, huvc plainly mani
fested their appreciation of the Burlington's
move, Tho Idea of shortening tho tlmo
between tho two cities, and, nt tho samo
time, establishing morning, afternoon, even
ing and midnight flyers, has been received
by them with uncommon enthusiasm.
As, for nearly twenty years, tho Ilurllng
ton has beon preferred by Undo Sam 'or
carrying tho through mails, so It now np
pears to bo preferred for smooth traveling
by Omnhans. Among tho prominent citi
zens who pralso the now service of tho
Ilurllngton are the following:
W. H. McCord "Tho people of Omaha
should consider themselves vory fortunatn
to havo such fast, frequent and excellent
service as tho Ilurllngton Route Is now
giving them."
T. J. Rogers "Again the ilurllngton Is a
headllncr. I believe the peoplo of Omaha
and the west appreciate that they are for
tunatn In having a great railroad Bystcm
like the Hurllngton. and, with the additional
fast trains and unexcelled service, that tho
Ilurllngton will become, more famous than
ever,"
II. H. Hnldrldgo "Ily administering to tho
highest comfort nnd o.ivenlcnce of tho
public and rendering It prompt nnd elllclrnt
service, tho Ilurllngton system has nttalned
tho great popularity which It enjojs today.
I havo found thnt Its facilities for carrying
tho traveling public are unexcelled."
W. A. Paxton "Tho peoplo of Omaha, In
my opinion, appreciate the action of tho
Ilurllngton In giving them the splendid,
rapid and frequent service between this city
and Chicago, for which the Ilurllngton Is o
Justly noted. Traveling as I am, almost
continually, I speak from experience when
1 say that the service of the Ilurllngton la
unexcelled anywhero In tho world."
fnyn It In AIiviin I'lrot.
E. B. Hruce "The Ilurllngton road was
the llrst to Invite Omahans to dewert the
hovel and havo a palace; first to donate $30.-
000 to the TransinlssttMlppi anil International
Exposition; llrst to say, "From 4 p. m. until
7:Ii0 a. m. a fourteen-hour train will leavo
this station for Chicago every three hours
and llfty-two minutes,' which will meet the
hearty approval of business men and pleasure
seekers."
Andrew Rcscwater "These progressive
steps by tho Ilurllngton cannot fall of re
ceiving marked appreciation by tho public,
which is quick to discern advantages of this
nature, in connection with this Improve
ment I recall, years ogo, when, with tho
characteristic enterprise of the Ilurllngton,
It was the first to lntroduco und adopt tho
dining car. Your Denver trains, so com
fortable and convenient, recall, In strange
contrast, my first two trips across the plains
In tho '60s, when It took us four weeks to
reach Denver by wagon from Omaha, If
weather permitted. Now we enter a Hurllng
ton palace car nt night, and, nftcr traveling
over a ballasted roadway unsurpassed for
smoothness anywhere, we reach Denver early
the next morning In time for breakfast."
O. W. Clabaugh "Tho public has been
given so many surprises by the Hurllngton
road. In Its Innovations for the comfort and
convenience of Its' patrons, thnt It Is with
dlfllculty one can keep apace of them. The
new trains to Chicago, particularly tho one
which leaves Omaha at 7:30 p. m., mako n
vnluablo acquisition to tho traveling public.
They not only economize time, but, by their
mngnlflcent equipment and good service,
mako n Journey over the Ilurllngton n real
pleasure."
I'rnlse from Another Itond.
W. V. Morse "A high ofllclal of u railroad
(not the Ilurllngton) recently said: 'The
Ilurllngton always gets Its trains there on
time.' When one considers the terrific speed
made by your splendid trains It Is a wonder.
1 havo been over tho road between Omaha
nnd Chicago at least 300 times nnd have not
only never had an accident, but have never
f?cn one. The Omaha people fully appreciate
tho four great trains which dally make the
tilp."
Euclid Martin "It seems to me that tho
citizens of Omaha cannot but appreciate tho
Improvement Inaugurated by the Hurllngton
In tho additional trains recently arranged
for between Chicago and this point. It has
been n subject of congratulation to Omaha
for some years that our service between
hero nnd Chicago was of tho very highest
order and It certainly has been Improved by
your recent additional trains. No city In
tho union can boaat of more complete com
munication with the outer world than Is
afforded Omaha to the east, and better scrvlco
than thnt afforded by tho HurHngton line
between hero and Chicago docs not. In my
Judgment, oxlst.
F. B. Sanborn "Tills may not look llko
a very big thing to n man on tho outside,
but to tho man who actually knows what It
means. It teems wonderful that time and
spaco havo been annihilated to inteli an ex
tent In a few years. I know something
nbout two of thesa Hurllngton trains. Last
summer, nlong with half a dozen of tho boys
In our business, wo mado tho daylight run to
Chicago. The train was splendid; the scrv
lco wan excellent, and the speed was al
most enough to ralso our hair. When wo
came back wo had a proof that It runs down
hill both ways, and the boys tpeak of those
trains now ns tho finest they ever saw."
Honry W. Yates "Tho Hurllngton road
has alwajfi set the pace for Omaha. It re
fused to enter tho old cowshed called by
courtety r union depot, nnd built (lrst a
modest little depat of Its awn, ami then the
present elegant structuro not surpassed In
beauty and convenience by any In the coun
try. If It had not been for the Hurllngton,
it Is probable that tho vexatious transfer
cf all eabt nnd west passengers at Council
Hlufl'n would etlll bo demanded, which re
duced Omnha to tho condition of an ordl-
i nary way station, and tho old 24-hour, ono
train per day, scrvlco would still be In
operation. Tho Ilurllngton has now mado
r. distinct advance upon nil of Its past
achievements nddlng perfection to perfec
tion. It runs on its own linos four first
class trains to Chicngo, making tho 500
miles In fourteen hours or better, besides
three first-class trains to St. Joseph, Kan
sas City and St. Louis. It Is hard for nn
eld Omahan to realize what nil this meuns.
It is still moro difficult for Its competitors
to keep Etep to this music. Hut they must
do ao as beft they can, and In this way
Omaha Is made tho most uctlve traveling
center In tho country. Let credit, Jwwever,
bo given to whom credit Is due."
