Ono of tho most bitter Internecine war
fares over waged within any political or- I
canlz&tlon In Omaha was fought between
contending factions ot ' tho l'ctor
Coopor cliib at a regular meet
ing held Tuejday night. The dls-
eonslon had IU origin In tbo developments
Within po.iullstlc circles of the last few
weeks and moro particularly was attributable i
to tho split In tho Douglas county populist
forces on tho question of fusion. Adherents
of tho principles of tuslonlsm and Ilryanlsm
mustered a strong following and attended
Tuesday night's meeting with tho avowed
Intention ot expelling from tho Peter Cooper
club all of those members who havo de
clared themselves as favoring the nlmon
puro article of populism on tho mlddlo-of-tho-road
basis.
Acrimonious debate and sqnsatlonal per
sonalities occupied the time for several
tiours. Tho representatives of fusion sought
to forca tho expulsion of the mlddle-of-the-roadcrs
without delay, and tho believers In
populism In Its simon-pure, unadulterated
Btate, realizing that they were outnumbered
nnd. -would bo outvoted and summarily
Ithrown out, pleaded for time. Thoy asked
that tbo Anal vote on tholr expulsion be
deferred for ono week, until they should
havo opportunity to lino up their forcc3
nnd bo oqually as well prepared for a show
of strength as their opponents. Both sides
agreed that tbo tlmo had come for tho part
ing of the ways. Leaders ot the contending
factions admitted that cither ono side or
tho other must withdraw or be expelled
ibodlly from tho club.
Elmer E. Thomas, deputy county attor
jioy; L. J. Qulnby, an employo of the dis
trict clerk's office, and Victor Wilson, state
bank examiner, demanded that the matter
Ibo settled there and then, knowing well
that they had enough votes at command to
rxpcl tho middle-of-the-roadero and launch
tho Potcr Club club as an organization fa
vorablo to fusion.
Other lMeuri for Time.
E. P. Olorearty, treasurer; L. V. Ouye,
secretary; M. Magulro, J. C. Tlerney, N. H.
Church and others Insisted that tho Peter
Cooper club was organized as a populist In
stitution and labored carnostly for n post
ponement of action In tho matter, clinging
to tho hope that within a week's tlmo
enough strength could bo mustered to sus
tain thorn In their allegiance to tho middle-of-the-road
idea and continue the club as
t populist organization, disinclined to
countenance fusion.
After sevoral hours of bitter debato und
force wrangling Bheer exhaustion on 'tho
part of tho fusion wing of tho club caused
It to weaken In determination to forco the
Issue and submit to a postponement of
final action. John Tlernoy's motion to lay
tho question over for one week was passed
by a voto of 16 to 8.
Prior to tho formal opening of tho meet
ing a Btralncd relation on tho part ot tho
members was plainly apparent and tho sub
sequent wloldlng ot knlvee sharpened to tho
keenest edgo was anticipated. President
John O. Yelser know that something was
going to happen whon he called tho meet
ing to order and Jocularly stated that In
surance had been taken out on tho furni
ture and windows ot the club rooms as a
protection from any ruin wiilch might bo
wrought. .'At the request of Victor Wilson
tho constitution nnd by-laws wero read and
the reading of that section of tho by-laws
providing for tho expulsion of members for
nny disloyal political action nt the dis
cretion of a majority of members presont at
nny meeting was eagerly listened to.
Immediately after tho reading ot tho by
laws tho gauntlet was thrown down by
Mr. Wilson. Ho said:
"It Is very evident that tho feelings and
relations which have hlthorto been sustained
so successfully are soverely strained as a
result ot tho actions of the last few days.
We aro now compelled to take a now lino of
nctlon in thlB club. We of tho two factions
have very llttlo moro friendly feollng for
each other politically than have the mem
bers of tho republican and democratic par
ties. It Is Idlo for us to dlscusa tho merits
ot the question. Wo nro all partisan to
n Intense degree. But It Is manifest that
we can no longer dwell in unity.
Iopnllntn In n me Only.
"That we aro member of a populist
club Is evident from tho name, but not from
tho actions of. certain ot its members dur
ing tho past fow days. It la evident to
everyone of us, however, that wo can no
longer work harmoniously together, that a
feeling of unity Is entirely foreign to tho
preseut conditions. In pursuance with that
provision of the by-laws providing for the
e xpulsion of members, I move that all mem
bers of this club who are present this even
ing who opposed tho regularly elected dele
gates; seated In the last state convention
from Douglas county and who took part in
tho rump convention lu Lincoln, be
dropped from tho rolls of the Peter Cooper
Club."
This motion was seconded by Elmer
Thomas, who, together with John Tlerney,
J3. F. Morearty nnd IMr. Wilson demonstra
tively Insisted on recognition from tho
chair. Wilson was ngaln glvon the floor as
, , . - , , ...
the mover of the motion and reviewed the
actions of tho past fow days, calling atten-
tlon to tho split In tho party at tho Doug-
las county convention held last Saturday
when tho socalled bolters held a "rump"
convention and sent a delegation to the
State convention nt Lincoln. This delega
tion, ho stated, upon being turned down by
the credentials committee of the stato con
vention hold a "rump" stato convention nnd
elected delegates to attend tho middle-of-the-road
national convention to bo held in
Cincinnati. By so doing he declared them
bolters of the Sioux Falls national conven
tion and of Bryan and Caldwell, who wero
endorsed as the candidates respectively for
president and vice president.
"In 1900," ho said, "there will bo but two
parties the republican and tho democratic-popullst-ellver
republican. They who aro
pot for ud aro against us. This Cincinnati

Itcf ciikc of Aiill-I'tiliiilt,
K. F. Morearty acted as the spokesman of
Iho members whose expulsion was at- J
lempiou, lie nam: "vueti tnis cjud was
organized It required a great deal of ef
fort on tho part of several parties within
my sight and within hearing of my vclcj

faithful early members went through the ,
slush and snow many times to seek the
support and Influence, of the later mem
bers for tho welfare of the club. And now
they usk that I be excluded. And not only
me. but Mr. Meilulre, Mr. Ouye and twenty-
fivo or thirty others whom I can namo who
havo cvcr
stood faithfully by tho club.
They seek to dictate that we vote for Uryan
nnd fusion. You can't advocate anything
but populist doctrine In this club. Did tho
convention yesterday endorse tho Chicago
platform? No, but It endorsed Ilryan nnd
by so doing endorsed the Chicago platform.
Nebraska will be represented at the
clnnatl convention by the delegation wo ;
Hclected and I will be among thoso In at
tendance. If Mr. Ilryan secures the nomi
nation of that convention I am for him.

doctrines of the populist party were ex
pounded long beforo Mr. Uryan came on
the stage of action.
"Wo have asked Mr. Ilryan In the past to
stand on our platforms. Hut he has always
refused, stating that ho couldn't get the
votes of the southern democrats If It were
known tbnt ho was a populist. Why does
ho say that ho Is u populist here and down
south repudiate tho populists nnd nssert
that ho Is a democrat? Wc are populists In
Nebraska. We nre the banner populist
stnto In tho union. This Is the banner
populist club In the United States."
John C. Tlernoy was next accorded a hear
ing and pursued argument along tho samo
lines as Mr. Morearty. He Bald: "I would
like to have you closely read the constitu
tion nnd by-laws of this club and Bee If you
can extricate therefrom any statement that
this club Is supposed to support tho fusion
party and fusion nominees. It has now
como to bo a repetition of Jonah and tho
whale. Fusion Is the Jonah and tho demo
cratic party Is the whale."
Louis V. Guyo dispassionately Insisted
that final action on expulsion should bo de
ferred until a week had passed In order to
glvo both sides an equal showing, and at
length the motion that such a postponement
bo taken was carried. The cntlro question
will likely bo threshed over at length at the
meeting of tho club next Tuesday night and
a stormy time Is In prospect.

that amount or less will be converted Into

purchasing bonds to that amount. Tney

Mr. Duncan and the dead man's mother

said by his wife, led to tho shooting. AN

According to the dispatches from Cincin
nati at tho tlmo of tho killing, Mrs. Adams
declared that her married life had been
very unpleasant for several years and that
sho had submitted to grow abuse from her
husband. Sho said bis conduct at last be
came so unbearable that sho was provoked
to take tho tragic action. Adams' friends,
however, nro Inclined to doubt tho stories
of tho dead man's cruelty nnd believe that
he was not so black a3 ho wan painted. Ills
parents testify that as far as known to them
the young man possessed a kindly dispo
sition. Tho peculiar location of the bullet wound
has not yet been adequately explained.
Adams was shot thrco times from the rear,
ono bullet entering his head near tho ear
and tbo others bis back.
Adams was 2G years old and was born and
reared In Omaha. Early In llfo he entered
railroad employment with the Union Pacific
and prcspered. Ho was highly regarded In
Omaha by a largo circle of frlende. Last
October ho was offered a passenger agency
for the Union Pacific with headquarteru In

TAKEN BY WRONG MR. BOYD

is Another Mun of Ills Xiinie
nnd Iultluln.
An old man, gray and weary-eyed, called
at tbo police station and to the desk ser
geant told a story that Is as old In cen
turies as tho narrator la old In scars. It
had to do with tho losa of hU wnrldlv eoods.
Ho had always been a hard-working man
frugal, temperate, honest, ambitious only
to savo enough to keep him from want In
his declining years, and no $90, the last
of his savings, were gone. A draft for that
amount, sent to htm by a bank In Iowa, had
been taken from the postofuco by a mau
whose namo and Initials wero the same as
his.
He had found the man; the mar: had con
fessed taking tho money, but bad added:
"I'vo spent it, and now what are you going
to do about it?"
With great patience the desk sergeant
listened to tho story, which was new only
In detail, and then told tho old man that
he could do nothing for him.
Two years ago J. C. Boyd sold his farm
In Adams county, Iowa, put the money In
the Prescott (la.) Stato Savings bank and
camo to Omaha to live. From time to time
he drew upon the deposit until only $90 re
mained. Then there came a day when he
La"Lel.r..?uflcary.me"t n " Httl!
home out on South Sixth street, so he sent
for the remainder ot his nest egg. It came,
but not to his ham's.
It so happens that there Is In Omaha an
other J. C. Boyn, less scrupulous than tho
Iova farmer, and It was to him that the
pestofneo clerk gave tho letter containing
the draft.
Tuesday the county attorney filed a com
plaint against J. C. Boyd II, charging him
with larceny. But there is small satisfaction
In this for the Iowa farmer.

ChniiRCN In Democratic Ticket.
After a hard struggle on the part of demo
cratlc leaders P. J. Bock has been Induced
to retlro from tho ticket, and tho demo
cratlc city central commltteo has placed the
namo of Pater Elsasscr on for city treasurer
In the placo of Mr. Bock. Many of tho
Germans of tho city called upon Mr. Bock
and Informed him that, they, vould refuse
to support him and urged his retirement.
Considerable pressuro was brought to bear
and Mr. Bock finally consented. Brennnn,'
as tho head of tho ticket, Is well pleased
with the change, as ho has an Idea that
Elsasser Is a campaigner and a vote-getter.
A scheme has been framed up by a num
ber of disgruntled democrats to Induce
Brennan to withdraw and allow the cen
tral commltteo to appoint a man to run
fnm mo..nr In 1.1a toQfl Tn f Tftlffhf! H'hfl

paign, is out trying to put the deal through.
Ho wants to sco tho central committee name
Ensor in case Brennan can be- induced to
pull off. Ensor has not Indicated whether he
will accept or not, but Judging from the
fact that Hughes Is pushing the deal It Is
Inferred that tho movement favors Ensor.
Brennan la reported to too standing fast
to tho nomination and will not withdraw.
Ho thinks he can bo elected, and with this
Idea in view has published a platform,
promising all kinds of things to the people.
