V Attornej',
It was candidates' night nt the meeting of
the Eighth Ward Republican club In Wolf
hall last evening and tho seventy-five re
publicans who had assembled there were
rrectcd to a diversion that was evidently
not entirely unanticipated by the most of
them,
K. Mi Tracy presided and ufter tho enroll
ment of several now members and the trans
action of routltio business, called upon H.
C. Dromo to Bpcak. That gentleman re
sponded briefly, saying that the one thing of
more Importance to the republican party and
tho country than tho aspirations of any man
for ofllco la the carrying of the state for
McKlnley and republican principles. He be
lieved tho chances very favorable. The
populists arc badly frightened and It Is to
be hoped that tho contnst now In progress In
this county will so shape Itself as to con
tribute to republican victory.
Chairman Tracy called upon Kdward Roso
ator, who responded by saying that no
message which rould reach President Mc
Klnley on tho 7th of November would cause
him greater pleasuro than Intelligence that
Nebraska had repudiated Ilryanlsm and had
regained Its place In tho republican column.
He had It direct from tho president person
ally that the republican otllclal family Is not
taking more interest In tho result In nny
state, not even In Ohio, than In tho tight In
Nebraska, not only becauso this Is a pivotal
stato In the national election, but because
the unusual duty devolves upon it of electing
two Untied Btatcs senators this year. Next
to easting Its tectorial vole for a republican
president, It Is Itnportnnt that two men be
selected ns senators who will uphold the
president. "While It might be premature to
say that the slato Is going to go republican,
It Is undeniable that there has been a de
rided and favorable change in political senti
ment. In the Mutter of .lefferl.'
Addressing himself to affairs local to tho
ward Mr. Uoscwatcr said he was not there
to plead for the olllce of United States sen
ator, but was constrained to refer to a re
mark made last week by A. W. JefferlH who
had referred to his Invasion of his (JotTerls')
ward to. put up a delegation. Tho speaker
said It had not occurred to him that any
ono particular person owned the Eighth
ward and rould not see that an effort to se
cure a favorable delegation from that ward
could bo considered an Invasion of It.
If ho had Invaded the wnrd, tho Invasion
had doubtless occurred before Mr. Jefferis
was born, when he went Into the ward and
built a house ut the corner of Twenty-first
and Hurt streets. It seetried strange to him.
ho said, that Mr. Jefferis should object to
his Invasion of tho ward In the Interest ot
his candidacy nnd not object to tlx Invasion
In tho Intercut of tho candidacy of others.
He expressed surprise that such a remark
should come from Mr. Jefferis, as he had
never, as far as ho knew, given him any
:auso to, be nggrlcvcd.
Tho speaker said that when he had In
vited Georgo Helmrod nnd Henry Ostrom to
accept places upon his delegation and when
they had Informed him that they wore for
Jefferis, he hud replied that it made no
difference. Ho had never considered that
he was running ngalnst Mr. Jefferis and
didn't ken ,ho- that gentleman could Im
nglno that In seeking tho support of the
ward for Unlteil States senator be would
romo In opposition to Mr. Jefferis' candi
dacy for county at'.orney. If that could bo
the rose, thon, the speaker said, ho might
expect to find himself In some place In op
position to some cnndldato for assessor.
Tho ofllco of United States senator Is of
no much Importanco that such minor con
federations should not enter Into the con
test. Tho people should choose a senator
with tho determination to select tho mau
most capable, useful and loyal to tho In
terests of tho party, stato and nation. If
ho were not tho choice of n majority, then
ho did not dcslro the place.
Denounce Threatened DutrnRC.
Mr. Rosewater denounced tho proposed
effort to bar, through threatened proceedings
in court, ono of the delegations telested In
the Sixth ward, asserting that at the risk
of being accused of contempt, ho would say
that It would bo an outrage. Tho pcoplo of
tho Sixth ward have a right to be heard on
tho' subject of the United States senator
who shall represent them and that no ouo
who attempts to win a convention or carry
an election by fraud can expect to be elected.
It has been suld that tho proceedings nro
to bo brought beforo one of tho managers
of the Webster campaign and ho protested
that If such proceedings aro brought It
should be beforo Bomo Judgo who Is not al
ready committed.
Ho certainly did not favor any corrupt or
fraudulent practlco In connection with this
contest and when tho county committee hnd
proposed to bar out u delegation from ono
of tho country precincts becauso It had been
filed ten minutes too late, ho had gono bo
fore tho committee ami urged that tho del
egation, which was notoriously against
him, be admitted and all objections waived,
to which the committee hud consented.
.lefTerln MnUc lCiiiliiiiiitlon.
When Mr. Rosewater retired there were
calls for Jefferis, who carao forward and
laid that' ho bcllovod that ho had as great
tn Interest In tho country's welforo ns arty
man In tho room. Ho went back to tho
recollection of his revolutionary Blres at
lirandywlno and said that his father had
fought for tho country also. When ho had
referred to tho Eighth ward as his ward,
he had simply referred to It as the ward In
which ho had his resldcuco. Ho was still
a young man, hut what means ho had ac
quired ho had put Into property In tho
Eighth wnrd. Ho bellovcd ho had a right
to asptro and that ho had somo friends In

the ward. rp to Saturday night he had no!
determined to put up n ticket In tho ward,
but from Mr. llosewater's remnrks It would
appear that he had but two friends upon
that gentleman's delegation nnd anyone
knew that two men from the ward of his
residence could never secure his nomina
tion for county attorney. In tho face of the
fact that It Is labeled for Webster for sena
tor, he dtnled that tho delegation ho had
put Up is pledged to John U Webster, say
ing that It has never had a meeting or de
clared Its preference.
Mr. Jefferis dwelt for somo time upon
the surpassing Importanco of the office of
county attorney, saying that It "Is not to
bo sneered at or lost sight of," declaring
that tho people will bo Interested In It long
after tho great contest for United States
senator shall have been forgotten nnd tho
aspirants have returned to their accustomed
vocations. Ho Intimated that Its relotlvu
Importance as compared with tho senator
ship Is enhanced by tho probability of the

uncertainties surrounding tho senatorshlp.

ecutive committee of tho musical festival
yesterday and requested that ho be
granted nn additional allowance of J100
per week as salary for sevcrnl additional
clarionetlsts to strengthen tho reed In
struments in tho band. Ho explained that
his band Is organized properly for playing
In halls, but that tho canvas absorbs tho
reed music ond allows tho bruss instru
ments to predominate.
Tho matter was discussed by tho com
mittee and most of tho remarks favored
any ehango that would bo of benefit to tho
band. Tho opinion prevailed that bucIi n
slight expenditure should not stand In tho
v. a) of making tho festival a greater nr
tlstlo success and tho music committee was
empowered to Investigate the matter and
act ns It thinks best.
Return checks will be given nt the
Wednesday concerts and during tho rest
of tho engagement. No provision was
made for giving Much checks ut the first
concerts and many complaints wero filed
with the committee
The cash receipts at tho gate for 'the
first concert wero $300. The entlro number
of persons who attended has not been
definitely determined, but tho members of
the committee estimate that between 4,500
and C.000 people were In attendance.

ent of the Different Sen
utorlnl Anlrnut.
Republican county committee heahiUAr
ters were crowded at noon yesterday, that
being tho expiration of tho time per
mitted for the filing of lists of proposed
delegates to the republican county ion
ventlon. There were adherents of the threo
siparate aspirants for the United States
suuutorshlp In attendance to scan tho lists
filed nnd tho accompanying lists of peti
tioners, each evidently prepared to take
advantage of any possible Irregularity.
Promptly nt 12 o'clock the lists were
opened for Inspection. Thcro were two
delegations from every ward In tho city
ur.d tho First sent In three, ono of them
being ostensibly an unpledged delegation.
There aro Rosewater and Webster delega
tions In every ward but tho Ninth, lu
which the fight will be between the ad
herents of Webster nnd (iroenc. West
Omaha Is tho only country precinct having
moro than ono list on file, and It has three.
East Omaha offered a second dclecatlon.
that was ruled out by the secretary as too
late. South Omaha Is also represented by
a single delegation. Chicago precinct also
haii two lists filed, but upon ono of them
there Is but ono name.
Committee Listen to Protest.
At 2 o'clock p. in. the cxccutlvo cora
mltteo of tho county committee met and
'listened to threo protests. One of them
camo from A. C. Ash, a member of the
East Omalia delegation, which had been re
jected because tho filing was not offered un
til after 12 o'clock. After long discussion
tho committee decided to permit this dele
gation to bo filed.
John N. Westberg ond Dyron O. Burbank
filed a protest against tho delegation from
tho Sixth ward, headed by Henry Ostrom,
alleging that of tho fifty-five names nt
tached to It, twenty-three wero those of
mm who wero not leglstcred nt tho address
given and, therefore, not entitled, thoy
claimed, to consideration under tho rules
of tho committee ns signers to such u doc
ument They claimed that ono ot them was
registered ns a democrat, another had re
fused to state his party affiliations and the
rest of tho objectionable names gavo resi
dence locations at which they did not ap
pear from the registration lists to live.
This point was warmly contested In the
committee, but It wus decided to overrule
tho protest.
A third protest was against tho appoint
ment of Judges and clerks of tho primary
election, whltfh, ft. was claimed, was hastily
effected without giving tho candidates nn
adequate chance to file their preferences.
This protest the committee has still under
consideration.
Westberg and Rurbank have announced
their attention of appealing to tho courts
in tho matter of their Sixth ward protest.
The belated East Omaha delegation ad
mitted In spite of Its tardiness lu tiling, In
cludes L. S. Unities, A. C. Ash, Charles
Huor, 1'. S. Vaad and W. Hlnmnn.

local politics, died at his apartments In
the Sherman shortly beforo midnight Tues
day night. Ho had been sick nil day, ap
parently suffering from tho effects of
poison. It was stated last night by one
of tho physicians In attendance that a
postmortem would be noccssary to de
termine tho exact cause of death. It is
thought likely the coroner will mako an
Investigation, but this has not been defi
nitely settled.
Mr. Wrlsht has of late been traveling In
tho employ of tho Standard Hrldgo com
pany. Ho Is said to have Buffered much
of Into from' 111 health. On Monday ho
returned from ono of his trips, ond Mon
day night attended n meeting of a lodgo
of which ho was a member. On his way
homo with sonic of his lodge companions
ho complained of feeling III. His com
panions left him In front of the Sherman.
About 3 o'clock Tuesday morning his wlfo
was aroused by his stertorous breathing
and found him unconscious. Ho never
recovered. During tho day ho was kept
allvo by means of oxygen, electricity and
similar means. At no tlmo did tho doctors
hold out any hope of his recovery. It
was stated yesterday that ho had taken an
overdose of morphine by mistake.
.Mr. Wright was 43 years old. Unt'l

An Inspection of tho lines of tho Omaha
& St. Louis and Omaha, Kansas City &
Eastern railways, Just completed by com
missioners representing tho Missouri
Stale Hoard of Transportation, shows a
condition of affairs most grattfylng to offi
cials of these roads. Tho report speaks
In terms of highest commendation of tho
physical Improvements and betterments
completed during the year ending June 30,
1900. The commissioners, Messrs. Hen
nessey and McCully. found on their Inspec
tion of the lines that a great deal of
ditching, surfacing and ballasting had been
dono nnd embankments strengthened In
many places
"Rridges on this line," they report,
"have been virtually all rebuilt, renowed
or filled during the last year, only n few
remaining, and, with tho exception of n
few, material for tho renewal of these lies
on tho ground ready for use. About forty
miles of tho track of the Omaha, Kansas
City & Eastern is laid with sixty-five-pound
steel, tho romnludcr with sixty
pound steel, all being In good, safe condi
tion. Depots nlong tho line are neat and
serviceable, making a very creditable ap
pearance. Much of tho fencing has beeu
rebuilt and with tho force now at work
the management hopes to complete all be
foro tho close of tho present year. Nearly
all of tho stations have been painted, n
largo percentage of tho stock pens have
been renewed und 151 miles of road
equipped with new wing fences and stock
guards."
A summary of the Improvements made
during tho past year Is as follows:
Number of crosstles put In ttnek.... 222.M3
Number of crosstles distributed and
will lie tn track by September 30 . G0.5.f
Number of bridges tilled is
Number of bridges renuwed til
Number of bridges partially renewed. 37
"Theso Improvements," said General
Agent Moores, "aro altogether duo to tho
Increased business our lines have been doing
during tho past year and tho larger earn
ings incident thereto. Slnco tho Omaha &
St. Louis und Its associate lines went into
receivership tho receivers havo Inaugurated
a policy of Improvement wherever possible
and tho results are shown In the highly
commendatory report mado by the Missouri
rallwuy commission."
