In tho absence from
Moiee of the governors Haft nonp of the i
ejoumvo lieutenants seem to know what
course thpy aro collectively likely to pur
sue in regard to the proposition to hold
democrutle primaries and select In that
way a now delegation to the stnto conven
tion. The whereabouts of Colonel Motse Is
not stated, but wherever ho I he can hardly
realize what fun ho line boon ml3lnc In
his absence.
Oil Inspector Panning, who has tho lead
ership of the executive commando In tho
nhsonco of the real colonel, although
usually a man of prompt action, appears to
do at sea.
"I don't know what we will do," sajvi he

JiuIs I'lattl havo done. They don't amount , mean!" ' '
to unythtng anyhow. What would tho j And that's how'lt came that tho Ak-Sar-County
Democracy have amounted to If It i p1 rrlton failed to tcoro the scoop of
mnu not ncen ror .vioise, .Miller nnd myself? ,
iwe aro not txnind by the action of any club.
"Why didn't they kick on the. method of
Meeting tho congressional delegation? If
It was wrong to select the stale delegation
Jt wan wrong to select the congresslor.il
delegation. , Hut throe fellowK have not sal I
a thing nlut that being against tho con
stitution of the club. Why don't they kick
on that? Those fellows who paitrd that
revolution arc a lot of traitors who were
left off tho stnto delegation because they
old us out at tho last statu convention.
iNot one of them could get on a ptate del
('gallon In 100 years by their own effortH gnd
yet thoy aro running around making such
n holler because they were not put on. I
nm disgusted with tho whole biiKlnesa nnd
nm out of politics. I toll you I would not
walk from hern to that etirhstono to see
dlryan ;lected. 1 said that rnco before and
homcone rushed up to tell Hryan nbout It."
It 1b apparent that Fanning Ih exasper
ated, as much of what bo said, especially
In bin references to l.ouls J. I'lattl and tho
others who participated In Thursday night's
meeting of the County Democracy, would
bot look well In print.
'Meantime It Is stated that the Pltttl
farces nro urging the nomination of I.ysle
I. 'Abbott for congress, which explains why
I'lattl opposed the endorsement of Kdgar
llownrd at the recent meeting of the county
committee. Members of the- Jncksonlan
club say, however, that Howard will b:
nominated, In spite of his recent letter an
nouncing that he Is not an aspirant, as It
Is well understood that tin would gladly ac
cept tho nomination If he were sure he
could get II without arousing any demo
cratic animosities.
Tho endorsement of Dr. I.ec VanCamp for
Iho position of county physician by tho
County Democracy draws out somo drastic
criticism from Charley Panning. VanCamp
has been acting as Intorne at tho county
hospital, and It is suspected that his boom
for county physician Iibb been hoisted by
tho superintendent ofjho poor farm, al
though J. J. Mahoney presented the resolu
tion of endorsement.
"Ho Is u line mark for county physician."
Bald Ch'ar!fcy" Panning. "Why, In the Inst
election he wouldn't pay the assessment
levied upon him by tho committee You
know there Is a rule of the county com
mltteo providing for the assessment of ull
counly employes for campaign purposes on
a basis of not to exceed ii per cent of their
salaries. The assessment of VanCamp was
only 3 per cent, but he never paid It,
nor any part of It. And yet he Is put up
nnd endorsed for county physician. You
may say that If the counly committee does
meet again It will knock tho waddln' out of
that endorsement."
Possibly because of the trouhles that beset
Colonel Molso nnd his follow workers In
behalf of (iovemor Poyntcr's renomlnatlon
it is nm ncany so cerium now mm . i.u , nssot.ntlnn nt Montreal. The librnrlan re
populism will hold primaries and select a (, th.lt snc n.ld arranR(imont8 for
delegation to tho state convention. Instead (ho c,rcuIntloll of tl)0 Bchool llbrary durnK

mm ny Ilie convention some wcckh buh-u.
Colonel Molso had some of tho populists
worked up to the proppr pljeh of exaspera
tion because a convention had assumed to
grant such power to any one without await
ing an expression of tho voters In the or
dinary way. but since Colonel Mo!se Bet out I
10 capture llic ncniucrauu umiuinin v.mihi i

it Is now announced that tho populist county
rommlttco has been called to meet on Satur
day. Juno 'J, at whloh meeting a conclusion
will bn reached as tn whether or not the
party will hold primaries and Belect a dele
gation In a county convention.

At first It unitized him, but nt lnt ho got
thin and emaciated. It deemed the echo
could stnnd it to bark longer than he
could nnd It hurt his pride, but he perse
vered, yelping and baying until hie. voice

An Intercwtlng meeting of tho South
Omaha Commercial club was held last night
and oovcral Important matters were dis
owned. At tho suggestion of President
Plynn the club will tako up the nucHtlon
of charter revision and a. committee con
Hlstlng of Messrs. Well, Cheek and Walters
was named to investigate and report. This
committee will go over the present city
charter and pick out tho hcctlons which
should be repealed or amended. The mode
and mnnnrr ot pawing ordinances, tho pow
ers of the council, of tbo chief executive
nnd the collection ot taxes will be gone
Into particularly. It Is thought that by
commencing this matter early there will bo
plenty of tlmo for n thorough revision of
the chnrter. When the amendments nre
agreed upon a bill Ih to bo drafted which
will bo presented to tho lcglfdnture ncxl
winter.
In this connection It Is stated that Mayor
Kelly in heartily In accord with tho move
and Is willing to appoint a committeo of
tho council to work in conjunction with tho
committee named by tho club.
Considerable tlmo was taken up In tho
discussion of tho hair field problem. Tho
xpcclal committee composed of Dr. Mc-
Crnnn nnd A, H. Murdock reported that they
had visited the field nnd they do not con
sider It a nuisance. Hoth members of tho
committeo nserted that tho odor arising
from the city dump Just below tho hair field
is tho real catifp of the complaints. Dead
animals and vegetable matter nro nllnned
to decay on tho river bank. Herman
KnunUo haH Instructed the hair company
to move on Juno 1. Secretary Watklns was
Instructed to communlcnto with Mr.
Kountzo nnd nend him n copy of the report
of tho special committee, with a view to
having him rewind his order nbout the re
moval of the fields on Juno 1. The drying
of hair is quite an Industry here, aa
twenty-ilvp men nro employed". An effort
will bo made by tho club to retnln this In
dimtry hero.
Philip Krause brought up the question
of repairing Iiellevuo avenue from Wyman
street to tho county line. This roadwny,
ho salil, Is in a deplorable condition. Thn
county commissioners) will bo asked to make
somo repairs at once, while an effort will
bo made by a committee to eccuro signers
to a petition for tho paving of tho street.
As the Union Pacific owns tho property
abutting on one side of tho street the pav
ing problem may be a difficult one. Secre
tary Watklns was Instructed to communl
cnto with olllclals of the Union Pacific and
tco what the company will do about making
a permanent roadway on this thoroughfare.
If this concession is granted the club stands
pledged to assist the company In a number
of ways.
Tho annual dues wore fixed at $2 per nn
num. At tho suggestion of Mr. Cheek the
directors will negotiate with the South
Omaha club for tho use of tho club rooms
for tho holding of directors' and commit
teo meotlngs nnd the entertaining of out
of town guests.

PnEDERICKSIlUIlO, Vn., May 25. Pair
weather favored . tho presidential party In
their visit to tho memorial services of he
Army of tho Potomac hero today. It was
distinctly confederate weather, however,
with moro gray than blue In tho sky. The
special train from Washington arrived at
11:10 and found the whole population of tho
ntald old Virginia town grouped about the
depot or massed along the main street, with
the national colors appearing everywhere.
Tho special carried all the members ot the
cabinet oxcept Secrotnry Wilson. There nleo
were la tho party General Nelson A. Miles,
his chief aide, Colonel Mlchler; General
Joseph Wheeler, Former Adjutant General
Huggles, who was colonel of the president's
old regiment during tho war, and tho Marine
band.
Tho train was met at Quantlco by a recep
tion committeo from Fredericksburg, con
sisting of Hon. Horaco F. Crlsman, Major
T. P. Morne and Pootmaster John M. Grlluu,
who accompanied tho presidential party to
Fredericksburg, where they wero turned
over to tho hospitalities of tho local commit

headed by tho Marino band, moved nt once
to tho court house, where tho public exer

mado by General Martin T. K. McMahon
Tho oration of tho day was then delivered
by General Daniel K. Sickles.
Mr. Pitzhugh'n oration was a striking piece
of oratorical work. He paid the highest trib
ute to tho Army of the Potomac and to It6
confederate opponents, saying that to urns
the names of tho Spotsylvania battlefields
from tho history of the American army
would bo to rob It of half Its glory. The
hame blood bheJ on tho Fredericksburg Holds,

American soldiers, whcreivcr tho Amurlcan

vho bore them were ex-federals or ex-can-federatea
or descendants of the two, they
would stand Khoulder to shoulder und their
record would bo ono that would tako no
luster from tho glory won by tho stars and
strlpea on the bloody battlefields of Virginia.

Freedom prints a story to tho effect that tho

Inasmuch as the -wrecking expedition Bent
out shortly after the Charleston was Tvreckod
failed to find nnythlng of tho vessel tho
theory Is ndvnnced that tho natives con
trived to cut ott tho' masts of tho cruiser
below tho point submerged, thereby hiding
the hull from tho government nnd saving
tho work of salvage for their own time
Tho Charleston Is barely submersed at low
