It Is tho love ot a fight In tho Anglo-Saxon
blood that makes a nowspapcr voting con
tost a success nml during tho last few
years crowns havo bcun offered to Ice queens,
vacation Jaunts to iopulnr girls and all sorts
of trophies for worth and pluck. Somo of
tho struggles havo been lukewarm or poorly
nanagcd, whllo othcro have been waged
with tho system and visor of a political cam
paign. The UvellcBt content over concluded
la Omaha was that tor the working girls'
vacation toura offered by Tho Beo In June,
ono year ago.
On tho day boforo tho final voto was cast
there was no sign of a sensational finish.
On that night Miss Clara McCann of
Thompson, Bcldcn & Co. was credited with
80,419 votes, nearly 10,000 less than the
loader In Tho lleo's contest now under way.
Mies Eva rhllllps, In chargo of tho sowing
girls In Swift's smoko house, had for the
time sunk back to tho obscurity of third
place.
In tho afternoon ot tho last day, how
ever, boxes and sacks arrived by the score
und tho counting rooms were deluged. As
C o'clock npproached, tho final hour, thn of
flco was crowded with enthusiasts. Th"
ofllco force) was unable tocaro for all at
onco and tickets wcro given out to those on
land beforo 6 o'clock to provo their right
to deposit ballots.
At thin point ono of Miss rhllllps' ad
lieronts made a gravo mistake. IIo pocketed
Ms ticket .and ventured for a moment Into
tho fresh air, taking with him 17.000
coupons In a satchel. When ho returned
ho was confronted by members of the other
faction, who denied him admittance. He
was told that only thoso could voto who
were In tho room and a violent misunder
standing promised to ensue. It was finally
decided that tho man should not have
quenched his thirst Junt at that tlmo and
the coupons wore destroyed.
Crowd Wiitch Finn! Count.
Crowds surrounded the buslnccs ofllco,
whllo the cntlro counting room and clrcijla
tlon departments wore engaged In tabulat
Inn the returns. Tho final score stood: Miss
13va Phillips, 195.030; JIN Clara McCann.
154.633, and tho lost 17,000 votes wero not
reeded, Of the 100 contestant In nt the
finish tho high twelve graduated down as
low as 10,000. Only four trips had been
offered, but la vIqw of tho Intense Intertill
shown and tho hard work done The Ueo
extended tho number to twelve. Tho fact
that tho manngoment had dono hotter
thnn Its word camo us an agreeable
Burprlso to the, young women. Tho eight
who had been given no reason to ho
Jlovo that they would secure any benefit
whatever, therefore, camo In for outings ni
most ns enjoyable ns tho prize winners.
Tho campaign carried on 'n the Interest
of Miss Phillips was as Intricate and ns far-
reaching uh ono conducted by Tammany Hall.
Miss Phillips' namo was first proposed by a
few of tho employes of the olcc. and ns hor
scoro grow It attracted tho attention of
managers of departments. u, c. t'ricc
nianugcr of tho company, was anxious for
Mita Phillips' uuccctis and entrusted her in
terests to O. E. Palmer, chief of a depart
ment. It was to Mr. Palmer's generalship that
tho outcomo was largely due. Tho loyalty
of all tho departments and employes of tho
houso was appealed to and votes camo thick
and fast. Tho commercial agents worked
their territory for coupons and one buyer
sent In 8,000 slips the last week of the con
test. Prizeo wero offered to offlco boys and
ono enterprising youth gathered together
sovcral thousand of tho paper vouchers.
Circular letters were sent to customers,
branch houses and friends of employes
throughout tho west and tho malls were
heavy with tho returns.
Tho rivalry was Intensified bocauso tho
employes of tho Cudahy plant had generally
taken up tho cause of Miss McCann. Two
brothers of that young woman wero em
ployed at Cudahy's nnd It grew Into a hand-to-hand
conflict between tho great packing
interests. Miss McCann also had the back
ing of tho Catholic?) of tho city and stato
aud they showed their practical loyalty by
soliciting votes. In addition Miss McCann
was supported by her omployor s house,
Thompson, Holdcn & Co., nnd by hundreds
of Omaha people who wcro anxious for tho
girl to win who earned her bread In this
city.
South Omnlin tlic Storm Center.
Tho storm center, however, raged In
South Omaha. Kor Miss McCann her broth
ers, I'etcr und Albert, Superintendent Dan
Cameron, Assistant Superintendent Frank
Konnedy, Olllco Manager Forbes nud Man
ager Km II Strauss ot tho soap houso spared
no pains among thoso who bowed to tho
namo of Cudahy. Such na array of talent
somewhat dismayed tho Swift cohortn to
ward tho closo of the final weok nnd dis
quieting rumors reached tho head olllco in
Chicago.
As tho hours shortened Into minutes the
following racssago came from huclen C.
Swift of Chicago to Mr. Palmer of tho local
houso: "Win Miss I'hllllp'o fight at any
cost."
Mr. Palmer was In a dellcato position. If
ho spent hundreds ot dollais of tho firm's
money needlessly ho would reproach him
self for extravagance. IIo would, In fact,
consider hlmrolf lucky Jf tho firm did not
reproach lilm, alfco. On tho other Land, If
ho wero frugal with his means all tho trou
ble and expense might bo lost and the result
uould bo disastrous. So Mr. Palmer wor
ried and pondered, with tho result that the
margin was safo enough, and yet uot more
extended than a good, decisive victory
b! on Id be.
Whether tho contost ending on Saturday
night will come to as sensational n finish is
still to be disclosed. Although tho factional
lines are not ns strongly drawn, tho geuoral
Interest is fully an great, ns shown In tho
IncrraneJ numbor ot votes over ono year ago.

Today will closo tho long contest for
supremacy In The lleo's second annual va
cation contest nnd It tho experience of las
year Is any criterion look out for a deluge
ot votes lu which what seems a good scoro
is liable to bo burled deep down In tho
track of tho voto avalanche. To form soma
Idea ot tho character ot tho hidden hand
that only shows up at the finish in such a
contest wo havo but to refer to the scoro of
thn four leaders In last year's contest, tho
highest ot which tho day beforo tho closo
was but 30,000 and which footed up ovor
halt a million votes, surprising the most
sanguine. Wo hardly expect tho first four
In tho contest this year will foot up so
largo a total, but thero aro many more con
testants In tho field and the total voto al
ready oxcecds that of last year. At any
rato It will bo well not to bo oversangulnu
and to figuro on an linincnuo outpouring ot
votes.
Tho voto yesterday was considerable, but
not ot a doclslvo character and no ono
could gleam from tho prc3cnt alignment
of candidates which will or which will not
havo tho opportunity to travel or which
will becomo recipients ot tho consolation
prizes generously offered by Mr. A. D.

For tho benefit of our readers we rcpoat
tho statement mado yesterday that votes In
tho final contest must all bo deposited In

Mall ClerU nt MniiiMrn,
Yesterday nt 11 o'clock tho railway
mall clerks of Omaha, South Omaha, Lin
coln, Council Bluffs and Missouri Valley,
with n number who reside at other places,
but who aro at the Omaha end of their
run, went over to Manawa to unjoy the
afternoon plrnlrklng Several contests
have been arranged for between members
ut different local associations.
HELLO GIRLS GO FRANTIC
Every Ono of Their Three Thousand Sub
scribers Ring at Once.
PEOPLE THOUGHT CITY WAS ON FIRE
ncniln Bnir Factory's Whistle. liaises
u Commotion In Celebrating
the Advent of it .evr
'Wholesale House.
Whcnco camo those shrieks so wild and
shrill
That cut like blades of steel tho air,
Causing tho creeping blood to chill
With tho sharp cadence of despair?
It was about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
that all Omaha 'was asking ich questions
as "What's tho rumpus?" "My, what can
bo tho matter?" "Is tho town afire?" and a
dozen others of liko import. Tho Inter
rogators know only that a certain steam
whistle was blowing In most agonizing
manner and with a persistence that would
havo dono credit to a fusion orator. Had It
been an ordinary steam whlstlo less im
portance -would havo been attached to It,
porhaps, but this was ot the kind known
as tho siren, being a sort of giant slide
trombone that touches every noto and half
and quarter noto In tho cntlro musical
gumut.
It started off with a shrlok of triumph
and gradually descended to a groan of
despair; then It chopped up and down In
tho middle register, struck a sad minor
key, with tearful, yearning cadenco, sank
to tho ululatlons ot a Thing la torture and'
ended' with a snort of alarm. Then It bo
gan and went ovor It all again with varia
tions. It seemed that tho brass-throated
Mumbo-Jumbo would never tire.
All this was mystifying enough, and It Is
safo to say that not more than two score
peoplo In Omaha knew what It meant. This
Is why ovoryono leaped to tho telephono at
onco and this, In Its turn, Is why In the
central telephone offlco every drop tell with
one nccord. Every tiny whlto light on tho
switchboard glowed Its warning and each
of tho twenty-eight operators began stick
ing pegs with both bands. As Buck Keith
loves to expreis It, thjey were "Jumping
sideways." For halt an hour thoy tried to
answer each of the 3,000 subscribers, and
that Is why the vubscrlbors "couldn't get
central."
They all wanted light on the one ques
tion: "Why -was tho whletlo blowing?"
But tho hello girls didn't know.
A large number of Omaha's citizens, how
over, knowing that tho siren whistle which
was pouring out its soul was a fixture of
the Bemls Bag company, C14 South Eleventh
street, bethought them to call up that con
cern. They would go to tho fountain head
for Information. So In that half hour thero
wcro no lefa than 400 calls for No. 1109,
Of course, only ono porson could bo an
swered at a time, so It took a long while
to disseminate tho news.
All this troublo might havo been averted
had Colonel Ilenile' steam calllopo bean en
dowed with the power of speech, Somo day
some genltw will Invent a colossal mega
phono with a phonograph attachment and
then thn public will huva tho combined
benefit of great volume of sound with
enunciated speech. Had tho siren possessed
this faculty It would have said something
like this:
"Omaha Is to have another great Jobbing
housel Omaha Is to havo another great
Jobbing houso!"
And would have repeated It many times
and In many different languages
That is n but tho fuss was all about. It
is truo that another Important piece ot nows
had Just been received to the effect that,
like a voice from tho grave, word hod coma
from tho United Statcu minister et Pokln,
but what are warclouds and foreign compli
cations compared with tho great, burning
fact that this city is to have Its Jobbing In
terest increased?
Meanwhtlo the unearthly siren continued
to -whoop 'er up and In tho central tele
phono offlco things were still In confusion.
Finally ono "central," who has a head long
enough to eat oats out of a churn, touched
tho 'button which rings tho Commercial
club. A few questions and answers flew
back and forth and the mystery was solved.
In a moment twenty-eight ojrators wero
repeating with lightning rapidity: "New
wholesale dry goods house coming to town!"
Colonel Bemls says ho will try to have his
s Iron trained to speak English in tlmo to
announce tho election returns.
White Man Turned Yellorr.
Great consternation was felt by tho
friends ot M. A. Hogarty of Lexington, Ky
when they saw ho was turning yellow. His
skin slowly changed color, also his eyes,
and ho suffered terribly. Ills malady was
Yellow Jaudlce. Ho was treated by the
best doctors, but without benefit. Then ho
was advised to try Electric Blttors, tho
wonderful Stomach and Liver remedy, and
ho writes: "After taking two bottles I was
wholly cured." A trial proves Its matchless
merit for nil Stomach, Liver and Kidney
troubles. Only 60c. Sold by Kuhn & Co.,
druggists.
RED BUTTON CROWD WINS
Cenlrnl Lnhor Unlou Election Has
Koine Interest to Sleniliers us
Concerns the President.
Thero was a battle royal at tho moot
ing of tho Central Labor union last night
betweou tho forcen ot tho "strictly union"
idea and tho socialist contingent and tho
socialists won out, hands down. Tho fight
camo up on tho election of preuident, with
tho forces ot tho "red button" under the
banner ot Asa Taylor and tho other side
voting for half a dozen candidates. At
tho clcso of tho first formal ballot tho vote
stood: Taylor. 25; W. H. Bell, 19; George
Kleffner. 18. 'At this Bell arcso and In an
Impassioned speech demanded that tho namo
ot Taylor be withdrawn from consideration,
for tho reason that ho was not present at
tho neetlnK. By an overwhelming vote
the union decided to permit tho mcmbors

CAN SLEEP NOW
Since I.eavlnir "IT Coffee
"Up to flvo years ago I bad used coffee
all my llfo, but was flnolly forced to give
It up on account of the way It acted oa
me. Illght aftor drinking It, I would bo
taken with a dizzy headache and sour
stomach and havo to make a cUp of strong
tea beforo I could go about my work.
Two years ago I started on Tostum Food
Coffeo nnd slnco finding how to mako It
properly I would not exchango it for thn
best coffee I 'over saw. My old troubles
havo disappeared entirely, I havo gulned
corilderable flesh and, what Is better, sloap
perfectly at night, which was not the case
while using coffee.
When I first used Postum my husband
complained of Its being tasteless so I tried
to uso moro of It, but as that did not help
matters I tried moro boiling, which provod
to be the right thing nnd now It Is delicious.
Mrs. W. A. Bckels, Simon, Ca."
