DEMOCRATS VOTE SPARINGLY
Virj Ftrr of the Unterrifiid Take Patt In

luillfTprpiicp of Hip Viilrrn (o Hip I'ro

In IIU Attitude ot
Omnipotence.
While tho democratic primaries woro
raging In the various wards yesterday after
noon tho County Democrarv was undergo
ing a house cleaning, as a result of which
V. II, (iunsolus, who has been oWelatlng
8 steward of the club, retired to give place
to Louis Uoebmc.
In themselves tho primaries were de
cidedly tame. In none of tho wards were
there over seventy votes cast. The Jack
sonlans and the I'lattl faction of the County
Democracy claim that It was because there
as no contest and that voters did not care
to get out and rustlo when there was noth
ing at stake, but the Molsc faction report
that It was because the great majority of
democrats did not care to engage In tho
primaries after the county committee had
selected 11 delegation to the state conven
tion. It Is nsscrtcd that democrats who havo
aspirations did not want to get Into the at
titude of antagonism to the Molsc plans by
voting at theso primaries and having their
names listed by the Judges. This theory
Is In a measure sustained by tho fact that
In the Fifth ward, the home of Molse, but
nlno votes were cast, Including' those of
the Judges.
Only n I'eir Vote runt.
The primaries awakened so little Interest
that the returns wcro not, as Is customary,
received at the Jacksonlan headquarters in
the evening and no returns were received
as to tho number of votes cast. It was
learned, however, that thirty-seven votes
wcro cast In tho Klghth ward, twenty-
right in tho Klrst and fourteen In the
Fourth. Tho Molse faction Is known to
have stayed nwuy from tho polls In all ot
the wards, which In a measure accounts for
tho light vote cast.
In some of tho precincts an effort was
made to get out a better vote, In which
cases the Mo'.sc men seemed to take
pleasuro In declining to present thorn
selves at the polls. It is also intimated
that a good many of the delegates arc tit
heart Molse men, but It Is not thought that
he will make any attempt to control the
county conversion, preferring to withhold
his countenance therefrom and thus claim
prestige and authority for the delegation
nomo tlmo slnco appointed by him with
the aid of the county committee.
Meantime things were stirring at the
headquarters of tho County nomocracy.
Veaterday afternoon the members of that
organization raised the necessary funds
with which to buy out the Interest of Steward
W. II. CtUDnolus and Install IajuIs H:chmc
In his stead. (iunsolus has been an adherent
of the Molso-Fannlng-Mlllcr fuctlon of tho
club. There was accordingly a boom In
buulueas at the bar during the afternoon.
I'l'opiiMc i IIouiici- n Trio.
At the meeting of the club last evening
Secretary Hart found upon his table a reso
lution, which ho read, proposing the ex
pulsion of Colonel Molse, Charles K. Fan
ning and Harry C. Miller from the or
ganization. The secretary rc3d this reso
lution, which was discussed at considerable
length and with considerable vigor, but In
the end Chairman I.lddell ruled It out ot
order, holding that before they could bo
expelled charges must be regularly pre
ferred and proven against them. I'ndT
this ruling nothing was done with tbc
resolution, tho mover ot which is whol'y
unknown.
Meantime It Is announced that cbargrs
havo been drawn against Messrs. Molse,
Fanning and Miller, to be preferred at the
next meeting, charging them with condirt
unbecoming members of the County De
mocracy and with having uttcrel s:at"
mcnts contrary to tho Interests of democ
racy. W. II. Gunsolus resigned hlg rosltlon as
n member of tho house committee o.' tho
club and John Drcxcl was elected to s le
ered him.
Tho Kansas City excursion c-mnilitec of
the club reported that It hail selected tho
Ccntropolls hotol at Kama City as head
quarters of the club during tho nat.oial
convention.
REACHES PARTING OF WAYS
Douulnx Comity Demiiernej rrttei
it Another I'urU In Hie
Itoiul.
In the historic language ot their national
leader, another "parting of the ways" con
fronts tho democracy of Omaha and Douglas
county. The inomenloua in niton upon
which this second parting Is taking place
seem to be whether Walter MtUo and
Charley Fanning shall bo the head and front
of tho party locally, or whether that proud
but Irksome position shall remain in com
mand of the coterlo comprising Lee and
Will Hcrdman, James C. Oahlman, C. J.
Smyth, Ed P. Smith. J. J. O'Connor, et al.
Tho fork of the road Is being reached In
the prlmarliB nnd county convention and by
Saturday nlaht the parting will havo been
grievously cflccted. Those who believe
Colonel Molso should bo allowed to name
the delegation to tho state convention
through his own peculiar brand of political
cunning will go one way and those who thick
the strategy ot his opponents should prevail
will go tho other.
Having parted In disdain, the factions will
doubtlcse moot again In nnger at Lincoln.
Colonel Molse will go down with his chossn
delegation and tbc other gang will be on
hand with a delegation ostensibly Hele.-ted
at democratic primaries. Neither faction
will bo represented by a delegation selected
according to law and democratic precedent
and traditions.
Of tho eighty-eight delegates to tho state
convention chosen by Colonel Molse and en
dorsed by the now repudiated meeting of tho
county committee, but thirteen are In tho
lists of city delegates to tho county conven
tion suhmlttcd at the primaries. They are
Adam Sloup. Joseph Pamiska. Patrick Ford.
Edgar Itothery. Thomas Harrington. Louis

If Colonel Molso Intends to go down to
Lincoln with a delegation to contest tho del

have to rely to help him.
Tho primaries In progress this afternoon
excite but little Interest in themselves, as
thore are no contests.
M'COOK RETRACES HIS TRAIL
Pioneer I'lttlilor I the (iiirnl of Omnlia
I'rlciuN Western Travel In
I)ni of I'lflj-I'our.
General Anson O. McCook of New York,
niu UI3 nilV illlU lillilllj, lllV Ul'3in Wk
General and Mrs. C. F. Manderson at their j
home, 3100 Chicago street, where they will
remain until tho latter part of this week, I
when both families wilt mako n tour of tho i
west by way of the Illack Hills. Doth I
gentlemen were what they now call "bay
colonels" In the civil war and lnce then
a warm friendship has existed betweon
them.
General McCook was colonel of tho Sec
ond Ohio regiment, which formed part ot
tho Army of tho Cumberland. It partici
pated in the battle ot Dull Run and many
other historical engagements. Slnco the
war he has been elected to congress three
times from the Eighth congrcislonal dis
trict of New York. Ho served one term as
secretary of tho United States sennte and
was city chamberlain of tho city of New
York two and one-half years under Mayor
Strong. Just at present General McCook
Is devoting his attention to the publication
of the New York Law Journal, of which
company bo is president.
"I consider myself a pioneer of this
country," n.ild the general. "In the spring
ot 1 ST. t I crossed the Missouri river at
Whitehead's ferry, seven miles above St.
Joseph, on my way to California. The
trail led through tbc southern part ot this
state from tho Missouri river to Fort Kear
ney and In nil that distance wo saw not a
tingle human habitation. So far as I know,
at that tlmo there was not a mile ot rail
road west of the Mississippi river. I re
member we made tho trip from St. Joseph
to Stockton, Cab, In 132 days. We trav
eled by wagon train. Indians were plenty
along the route, but we bad no trouble with
them. I recall only one alarm, and thn
was In the vicinity of tho Dig Dlue river.
We organized ourselves Into armed squadi
and took tho usual precautions, but the
scaro soon passed over and nothing came
of It.
"I was attracted to California by the
gold fever, the same as many another
young man of that period, and for 11 vo
years und nine months I dug- with pick
and shovel. But I never struck it ilea. I
was like many of the rent of thsm not
very Judicious, and certainly not very eco
nomical, and when I became brcke. as I
often did, I used to hire myself out ti work
for $4 a day. Many Is the day I have put
In nine anil ten hours, standing up to my
knew In the water, wielding a pick."
General McCook Is a scion of the famous
McCook family of Ohio. General "Alex"
McCook, known as tho Indian lighter, is his
coiudn. Fourteen members of this family
participated In the civil war, of whom fcur
were his brothers.

While there arc no changes to chronicle
In the leadership of the several lists of The
Uec s annual vacation contest, it will bo
noticed that ranks Just below arc rapidly
swelling und the competition for first place
promises soon to become very sharp. Miss
Parrlsh, apart from adding another day
to her flno record for continuous leadership,
has recaptured tho pennant for the high
est score In all the lists, which for sev
eral days has been held by Miss Fronla
DeWttt of Grand Island.
Through nn omission In our statement
yesterday wo led readers to Infer that tho
highest score would give the worker first
choice In all tho routes Instead of all the
routes In their respective class, which In
our proposition are divided Into class A
and li. it will not, however, change tho
Importance of securing not only the high
est score In tho home list, but tho highest
In all tbc lists, respectively, of Iown,
north and south Nebraska.

Monday evening. July 2 the city council
will meet to make the annual levy. Consid
erable Interest always attaches to this action
,on wh th(, , wl be Tho aJ
I relurned by the aMMMM , a (.app0nt.
; mcnt ,0 the c omcIaIg and othtrs ,n
tu.cj but wlth ,he ma(lo a ht
. increase In tho valuation u hnwn
These levies have been made in tho last
six years: In 1S9L 11 mills; 1S95, 33 mills;
1896. JO mills; 1S97. 414 mills; 1S9S, 56
mlllfl; 1S9D, 42 mills. This year the levy will
bo between 50 mills and 60 mllla.
The total expenses of the municipality
from April 1. 1S99, to April 1, 1900, were
$93,852. 69. Of this amount J6.061.S4 has been
paid out in Judgments, leaving n net cur
rent expense for the twelve months ot $92,-
I 820.25
With the expenses of last year over 190.000
It Is evident that a much larger amount must
w miaeu mis year iu properly operate tne
various departments. South Omaha Is grow
ing every year and more firemen nnd police
men are- needed, as well as additional help
In tho street department. It is figured that
tho city cannot posalbly get along with a
levy of Icfs than 53 mlll More money will
be derived from licenses this year than
last, but the additional expense In the vari
ous departments will use up this extra
money, thus a high levy is Inevitable.
A ehort time ago Mayor Kelly appointed a
srcelal committee to investigate tho finances
of tho city and approximate the expenses for
the coming llscal year. Thin committee has
made tho following apportionment of funds:
Interest fund. 119,000; police, $11,500; water.
$11,000; light, $S,600; street repair, $S,000;
tire. $8,600; engineer, $1. 100: park. $S00;
sanitary department, $t.noii; city clerk'n de
partment, $1,400; charity. $600; treasurer,
$600; city attorney. Sl.lnO: nfllrrR tnnft.

1 At the present time Judgments to the
amount or $10,000 aro piled up and provision
) must bo made for these when the levy Is
j made. To tho Judgment fund of $12,500 may

which Is $19,000, a total of $31,500. It will
thus bo seen that Interest and Judgments
will cost the people one-third of the amount

Mounted Policeman Wiuilei,
Chief of Police Mitchell Is advocating the
appointment of a mounted policeman In order
that the suburbs may be protected. Such
47 .an officer, the chief says could work frcm
noon until midnight and ridi through the
outlying districts, and In localities where n
policeman Is seldom seen In addition such
an officer could be used to serve raDer in
the suburbs. It is thought that by allowing '
a mounted officer $75 n month ho will fur- j

COMMITTEE NAMED TO SECURE GUARANTY

I'nle.is obstacles now unsuspected are en
countered, a series of concerts by nell
stedt'6 band, or some other of ciual prom
inence, will be one of the features of the
fall festivities of tho Knights of Ak-Sar-Hen,
opening two or three weeks ahead of
the Ak-Sar-Hon week and closing extem
poraneously with the fostlvltlce. Such was
the conclusion reached by the meeting of
Interested citizens with the music commit
teo of Ak-Sar-Uen Thursday afternoon at
tho Commercial club. E. E. Andrews, rep
resenting the home patronage bureau of
the Commercial club, presided. Messrs. Ed
Allen, Mel L'hl, Walter Jardlne and Oeorge
Cronk of the music committee of Ak-Sar-Den
woro present, ns wen also H. J. Pen
fold and other prominent workers In the
Ak-Sar-Den enterprise. A. Hospc was
present to urge tho advisability of giving
a scries of concerts for threo or four weeks
this fall In connection with the customary
festivities. His suggestions were seconded
by Jay Foster. C. C. Ito3water, F. E. San
born, C. H. Pickens, Clem C. Chase and
others.
Tho members of the Ak-Sar-Den commit
tee voiced the objections of the board of
governors to the assumption of any addi
tional responsibilities. It was Mated that
the cost of the proposed perles of concerts
would be about $9,0CO, the plan being to
give them as a separate entertainment from
tho carnival and various expedients were
suggested for meeting this additional ex
pense. It was urged that Omaha people
have become distinctly partial to concert
music during the last two years and that
the bringing of this band here for tour
weeks would be a paying Investment of It
self. It appeared, however, that It will bo
necessary to close a contract with a band at
once. The plan was suggested by Jay Foster
that a guarantee fund be subscribed and ex
pressed a willingness to guarantee $500 of
It himself. F. K. Sanborn nlso suggested
such a fund and said that no trouble would
be experienced In finding fifty men who
would guarantee $100 each, which would
make a fund of $5,000.
.steps Taken to Speiire Iliiiul.
The Ak-Sar-Den committee manifested a
reluctance to having the band here during
thto carnival week, and finally said that
one of the plans of the committee was to
have a band contest here during that week,
to participate in which all the bands of sur
rounding sections will be Invited.
After long nnd earnest discussion the
committee apparently conceded that the
coming of the big band would not Interfere
with such a contest and a motion prevailed
whereby Chairman Andrews and Secretary
Ctt of the Commercial club were made a
committee on ways nnd means, with power
to appoint subcommittees to secure the nec
essary $5,000 guarantee ot funds tor tho en
gagement of such a band, with the Idea
that when the fund is rained all other de
tails will be turned over to the Ak-Sar-Den
organization.
Messrs. 'Andrews and Utt at once started
an organization by appointing a subcommit
tee comprising F. E. Sanborn, chairman;
Jay Foster, secretary and treasurer; C. C
Chane, A. Hospe. C. C. Rosowater, Harry

After an Incarceration of four daye,
Charles 11. King, who shot and killed Jamen
Flood last Sunday, is a free man. At 9.15
yesterday ho emerged from the cell and.
In company with his attorney, walked to the
Dellone hotel, where his wife and children
have been staying. The greeting between
them was most affectionate. Mrs. King's
father, J. 11. Patton of Hlrmlngham, Ala.,
was at the depot arranging tor tho ship
ment of their household goods and did nut
learn of his son-in-law's liberation until
nearly noon.
No complaint ot any kind had been filed
against King and ho was detained tn jail
as long a time as thc law permitted under
such circumstances. Ho expresses himself
as entirely satisfied with his treatment.
"I am very sorry it happened," he said,
"but I think I did no more than any other
man would have done.''
King would havo been released Wednesday
had It not been for the fact that County At
torney Shields wanted tu examine tho testi
mony taken at the coroner's Inquest. That
this might be done within the four-day limit
the stenographer worked all night Tuesday
transcribing his notes. This morning the
county attorney wrote a note to the Jailer
requesting that the prisoner be turned loose,
which note was delivered by Attorney Kil
kenny. Mr. and Mrs. King and their children will
return with Mr. Patton to tho home of the
latter In Hlrmlngham, there to remain until
Mr. King can find some regular employment.
