THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, TTJXY 11, 1000.
When we cut prices we cut them so deep that there is absolutely nothing more to do We have made up our mind to get rid of an immense lot of men's fine
suits because the season demands it because we have too many because we must and without any further talk we cut prices
to such a sensationally low figure that almost everybody in town will buy tomorrow.

DEMOCRATS ARE DISGUSTED
Douglas County's TJntcrriGed Tnrnod Down
Hard at Lincoln Convention.
POPULISTS, TOO, ARE DISSATISFIED
Hilly 11 ii in Doled Out ut the Thrce

"Douglas county's uumorous delegations
to the three-rlcgod convention In Lincoln
did not bring back any vary substantial peace
Hirelings to lay at tho feet ot their con
stituents," remarked a populist who bad
not yet recouped himself for tho losa ot
bleep at the convention and was theroforo
In a proper humor to rolloct tho prevailing
sentiment among fusloulsts of Douglus
county.
"When I think of tho achlevomonts of our
county at tho conventions I cannot help re
calling tho Illustrious general with G.000
men who marched up tho bill and down
again. Wo Bent down 10D populists to a
contention ot 1,226 delegates. Wo sent two
delegations ot eighty-eight men each to n
convention of 1,029 democrats, and Douglas
county men comprised tho biggest portion
of tho silver republican convention. Tho
populist delegation took down with It a
cubornatorlal boom old enough to merit some
recognition, and a young and vigorous can
didacy for tho attornoy generalship. The
democracy took down tho aspirations of one
ot their leaders, Joseph A. Connor, to bo
ono of tho electors, ana too suver rcpun
llcnns lugged along u lusty boom of the
oamo kind for Frank Hansom. Thus
marched tho army up the- hill to do battlo
for a sbaro ot tho spoils that would appease
tho nntl-l'oyntor sentiment hero at home.
Livery One. 31ml aud lllmsuiiteil.
"I blush to tell of the result. Tho dem
ocrats came homo empty-handed, mad and
dlscusted. So did the populists, while tho
only plum out of tho woll-fllled trult basket
that flew toward Douglas county toll Into tho
Uttlo basket concealed among tho effects of
tho silver republicans. This will doubtless
bo a great satisfaction to tho two or three
wore sliver republicans in the county, but
It will hardly heal tho soro spots among tho
democrats and populists, or urreHt tho vig
orous suppuration that has promlsou a ma
trrlal slouching oft from the fusion voto on

may present heavier claims upon a United
States Heuatorshlp nnd that tho ambitions
ot local democrats and populists were sac-
rlllced to bolster up the aspirations ot a

A local populist who attended tho conven
tion Insists that tho democrats have no
reason to complalu ot tho slight recognition
thoy received In tho make-up of the stato
ticket. "They gavo up," ho said, "nn op
portunity to get two places on the tlckut
and allowed M. F. Harrington to run a bluff
on them In tho Interest of his preferred
candldato for state treasurer. They could
have secured two places on tho ticket It they
had not allowed Harrington, aided by Old
ham's friends, to run the bluff upon them.
Had the democrats not been so anxious to
place Oldham I know they could havo had
two places, cither of which Is better In point
ot patronngo than tho attorney gcnoralshlp.

There has been somo objection on tho part
of workmen to tho Introduction of street

thought they will throw many laborers out
of employment. It baa ovou been rumored
that an nttempt might bo rondo to prevent
tho uso of machines, because tho charter
states that tho work shall bo done by day

tho street cleaning machines will not throw
laborers out of employment, but will mako

Ing much eucouragod over the prospect for
tho accomplishment ot tho work, in the
promotion of which ho has long been en
gaged, which Is the construction ot
reservoirs at tho headwaters of western
rivers In which to catch surplus rainfall,
thus preventing freshets and permitting Us
gradual distribution for Irrigation purposes
over now waste and arid government lnnd,
Congress will be asked nt Its next aeaslon
to appropriate from $5,000,000 to 510,000.003
for tho construction of reservoirs, follow
Ing the plan contemplated In tho recent ap

prollinluary surveys. Itenewcd confidence
In tho accomplishment ot tho project Is In

favoring It In three ot tho recently adopted
political party platforms. Tho republican
convention at Philadelphia led off with tho
Initial declaration In Us favor, and the demo
crats nnd silver republicans declared for It
In their Kansas City platform.
Mr, Maxwell thinks that when an ap
proprlatlon for construction purposes Is
secured ono of tho first reservoirs provided
will bo in Wyoming on the hcadwatora ot
tho Platte, As far as posslblo tho work
will bo pursued in the selection ot natural
reservoirs, whero depressions ot tho surfaco
can, by properenglneerlng, bo utilized for
storage purposes. Irrigation englneors have
already selected one in Wyoming in which
eon bo stored 000,000 acre-feet, or enough
water to covor 000,000 acres to tho depth of a
foot. All through the foothill counties
similar basins can be, found, which will
materially nld and strengthen tho proposed
work and lessen tho expeuso ot erecting the
necessary work.

Tho purso was empty. Feeling through his

happened to him, ho went to tbo pollco
Btntlon nnd told his story.
"I had $12 In money," said ho, "and no

a fellow who scorned to be very friendly,

" 'Como with me to tho Webster street

St. Paul and It won't cost you nothing.'
"I went with him. Wo climbed into a

tho fellow was gono and so was my money
and razor. Tho money was In a trick purse
