And though our congregations were email, the owner of he property complained that his fence was being broken down by persons leaning upon It who would not come Into the church. -We had great difficulty In sur viving and In Increasing our little band. At that time we reorganised the church with twenty-eight members. We have overcome opposition and our attendance Is growing and our membership Is growing. We now have fifty-one members here and thirty-eight In South Omaha. We hare a beautiful church building worth more than $5,000. The Bohemians are becoming rec ognised everywhere and we are especially proud of the election of Mayor Keutsky of South Omaha and the appointment of a Bohemian aa chief of police." Rot. Toblaa then spoke of the department la the new Presbyterian seminary which Is to be set apart for the teaching of Bo hemian history and the language of that country, and of tua great good It would do for tba young Bohemians of thla country, who knew nothing of tha history of their mother country.

Boonstra, chairman of the meeting; Rev. Thiols, who spoke In .Dutch, and Captain H. M. Da Root,- once of Delarey's staff. Tha captain Is an entertaining speaker, who has apparently read history aa well as fought la the Held. He said that either the Boers must sur render or the British abandon the effort to conquer them and that the former will never coma to paaa; that his countrymen caa fight alz years yet and only ask that Oreat Britain be not aided by other na tional that the real reason for Cronje'a de feat waa his disobeying orders to the ex tent Of allowing women in the camp, which weakened the fortitude of his forces; that Roberts Is a poor military strategist, who baa unauocesafully attempted to act on the plans of Von Moltke In the Franco-Prussian war of '70; that the British have to put everything on paper, while the Boera carry their maps In their beada; that the Boor blood Is a mixture of Hollander, French and Oerman; that too many who ar gua for tha surrender of tha Boera have eyea on tha riches there; that tba reason tha Boers never attempt to follow up a retreat of the enemy too cloaely la tha day time la the fact that they have neither swords ror baronets; that tha British have used a white flag with a black stripe through It as a prostitution of the pure emblem of peace and have killed Boers who mistook It for such and allowed them to get too near; that tba Boers attacked tha British originally only because the British ware preparing to ham them In; that tba British In South Africa now have tba ooaata, tha railroads and principal Good enough for anybody!

(Continued from Seventh Psge.) cate even whea nothing waa to be gained by It. Am I not right in assuming tbst when a representative In congress tries to thwart the will of the republicana of bla own county and district tba republicana of that district would not be Justified In returning blm again for another term, unleaa It was abso lutely Impossible to find any man qualified for the position T I do not believe you will find any difficulty in finding a man qualified to represent you in the next congress. What Credit la Conceded. I am willing to concede now that Mr. Mercer haa dona a good deal of good work for this district. I have commended him on every occaalon when he did good work. In fact, I have very often credited him with work where he bad other people behind him helping him to do it; where be would have made an absolute failure without that help. Of courss he hss always had tbe sublime assurance to claim everything, and It baa been credited to him because in campaign after campaign we wanted to re-elect him, and I wanted to make him Just aa strong aa he could be made by giving blm credit for everything that waa done, even though 1 knew that others had done a great deal and were entitled to aome of tha credit. While Mercer has accomplished a great deal, he haa by no means always been loyal to Omaha. For years Omaha had endeavor 1 to secure a quartermaster's depot, which would have been of very much more benefit to us than ten Indian supply depots. Now then, we had a bill prepared that the War department t willing to endorse, but in stead of putting that bill through It waa emasculated and changed Into a bill for an appropriation and, of course, it wss side tracked and killed off. Then I requested Senator Thurston to Introduce a bill drawn In accordance with the wishes of the War department. The senator Introduced the bill and It laid In tbe senate several months without making any headway. I went to Washington and called at tbe War depart ment and aaked the quartermaster general, to whom the bill had been referred, whether or not be would be willing to endorse It. He said be would not recommend it because be bad changed bis views on the subject. I said, "Very well, then, I would like to have you return it without your recommen dation; wo want the bill back In tbe sen ate." It wss returned next dsy. I called upon tbe chairman of the aubcommtttee, Senator Carter, to whom the bill had been referred, and ba said if I could get the en dorsement of Secretary Gage he would try to have the bill put through. Within twenty-four hours I bad the endorsement of Secretary Gage on that bill and when t left Washington the senator bad the bill in hand. Within three daya after my return I received a telegram that the bill waa recommended. The following day I re ceived a telegram from Senator Carter that tba bill bad paased tba aenate. (Applause.) Throttles oartertnater's Depot Bill. After the bill bad paased the senate Bpeaker Henderson referred It to Dave Mercer. He thought he waa doing ua a great favor by putting the bill In tbe hand! of our own congressman tnatead of referring it to the committee on military affaire, where It really ahould have gone. Some time having elapsed and no report having been made, I met Captain Hull, the chair man of tbe committee on military affairs. I spoke of ths bill and ba said: "I would Ilka to help you out, but I hsva not got the bill." I then found It waa In tbe pocket of Mercer, and Mercer, out of cussed spite work, kept that bill back and killed It. Now ba haa reintroduced it and Is trying to pass it through ths house, end be may paas It through the hpuse, but I doubt very much whether It will ever pass the senate, because the committee la now different from what It waa then and tbe chancea are that It will be amotbered aad killed. Would an honest representative be guilty of auch trickery? It Mercer waa afraid Thurston would get some credit. It waa dis graceful. If ha thought I would get tbe credit. It waa not honorable. That bill ought to have been passed and would have been passed if he hsd not held It In his pocket. All be had to do waa report It. I make thla statement because now be la coming back and wanta to get a sixth term In congress. There is no good reason why ho should bs rs-elected, even it hs had not been derelict In bla duty. But, teat we forget, let me call your attention to an other evidence of Mercer'a treachery, be cause I see Mr. Blackburn la here and I want to face him in making tbe charge: Playing la with Democrats. When ths election waa over you all know that there was to be a very close fight over the credeatlala of the members from this county. Ths result In Douglas county was to determine whether we would have a republican legislature or a democratic legis lature. We bad a bare majority In tbe house of representatives and if two more of our candidates had lost their aeata Mr. Bryan and Mr. Hitchcock, or Mr. Allen, would have occupied tha aeats that are now occupied by Millard and Dietrich. When the clerk was about to appoint tbe can- vassera he made a certain selection. Mr. Hitchcock, In my presence, objected and asked Mr. Haverly to appoint Tbomaa W. Blackburn In tbe place of one of the can vassers the clerk had selected. I want to know why Hitchcock wanted Blackburn ap pointed f Why did be prefer Blackburn to any other republican T Hitchcock was a candidate for United States senator. Was there an understanding between him and Mr. Blackburn? Don't that ahow that there waa a mystic tie that bound Meroer and Hitchcock together? Does not that explain the subsequent performsnce of the World Herald? Did wa have to go to tbe democratic can didates for United States senator to dis cover csnvaasera tor election boards to be appointed by republican clerka In tbe county? It don't seem right to me. It looked to me very suspicious. It did not look straight. And since then everything baa tended to confirm my belief and I now have abaolute proof that Mr. Mercer either wanted to be aenator himself or did not went any republican senators elected. Mr. Armstrong, a member of tha legislature from Nemaha county, remembers distinctly Mercer's threat that If ha was not elected nobody would be elected, and that be would be the dispenser of tha patronage for Ne braska If there were no republican aenators That baa been bla Idea and that was tbe Inspiration tor his candidacy. It be could not make it, and tha chancea were a thou sand to one against htm, he did not want any republican elected. He would rather have had two democrats, or rather bavs had the state unrepresented la the senate. so thst tha senior congreesmao from Ne braska would have the patronage to be stow. Ka Kea-Reslaeat Caaajreeamaa. For thla rtaaon I deem It my duty to re monstrata agalnat Mercer'a candidacy wlt.1 republicana of thla district and at tba state I suade treat aac'iaVfa u Ua campaign of 1900. I labored Incesssntly, night and day, snd when the last day ratne, remembering the pledge I had made to the president that Nebraska should return two republican sen atora, I stepped out of the way, although I had the positive pledge of the governor that I would be appointed It no election oc curred, and might have fougbt It out at Washington. Rather than jeopardise the future of the republican party by continued turmoil I gave up and stepped aside, and the state of Nebraska elected two repub lican senators at the last hour. (Applause.) In opposing Mercer's candidacy I have no personal ends In view, hsve nothing to ask of a congressman and do not need a con gressman to Introduce me at Washington. What I want la a congressman who Is loysl to the republicsns of this district and will get out and work with them, and who re sides In Omaha when he Is not at Wash ington. To be sure Mercer haa a plan for a house to be built. Those plans hsve been here several times before. The assistant building inspector Is here and maybe be can tell you more about these plans. But we have not seen the bouse. (Laughter.) Now, fellow republicans, I trust that you will give these matters aerloua considera tion. The conditions under which Mr. Mer cer waa originally selected, or rather, haa been supported, no longer exist. Omaha haa a public building large enongb to aerve two or three generations of citizens. South Omaha has a public building, Blair has a public building. There are no more post offices to be built In this district, and the man who la chairman of that committee la of no value ao far aa our public buildings are concerned. He can give the working men nothing more than possibly a road from Fort Crook over here to Thirteenth street. I don't know just where. Time for a New Mia, Mr. Bruner Let me ask a question: Did he secure tbe first appropriation from the lower branch of congress? Mr. Rosewater No, sir. John H. Mc- Shane secured the first appropriation for the purchase of the ground and that made It easy to get appropriations for the build ing. But that does not matter. Mercer la entitled to credit for everything he baa done on these buildings. I want to say that be has done a great deal of good work aud he has had very good recognition for It. There la no use of decrying him. Ha haa done good work in certain directions; but the work la done; It Is finished; he has had ten years In congress; he has received $50,000, or will when he gets througn, snd the other little incidentsls, and some other man ought to have the place. (Applause.) We are told that when we have a good man In congress we should keep him there. We are told that other districts have kept their representatives In congress so msny years. Now. I looked that up the other day while I was In Washington, I looked Into the congressional directory, while at tending the memorial service for McKInley to see who was there twenty years before when I had attended the Garfield memorial service. And I found that there were only eight men In the house of representatives of those that had been there twenty years ago; only eight men. I do not believe that there are over twenty men in tbe bouse that have been there fifteen years; prob ably less than ttat, and they are men of the very highest order. Mr. Mercer does not pretend to be any thing more than a good rustler. We want somebody there that represents principles, that represents Ideas, and that will do something besides merely the rough and tumble work around the departments. And any man who goes there after two years' service will be able to render ua all the services In the departments that Mercer can. RAILWAYNOTES. W. H.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA atfuij Grading and Paving Petition! Are Now in Circulation. NESENBERG ASSAULT CASE UP AGAIN Horse gale Largely Atteaded aad Bldalaa slrlted-St rrets will Be Flashed Aajala Magic rity Gaaslv. From the number of grading and paving petitions now being circulated It would ap pear that during the coming summer mors of this work will be done than hss been undertaken In years. Many of the streets In the center of tbe town have never been brought down to an established grade, and aa a result are In a very poor condition. Thia condition Is found on the atreets west of Twenty-fourth - and north of N street. The city haa been compelled to pay out damagea In several cases for acci dents which have occurred on these streets on account of their defective condition, and the residents of that portion of the town are doing everything within their power to have the requisite number of people sign the Improvement petitions. At the present time, however, tbe council can grant but very tew of tha petltiona for apeclal im provements, on account of tbe lack of funda in tbe treasbry for Intersection psv Ing. But within a few weeks this diffi culty will be overcome. In all probability, and then tbe council wilt be In a position to grant the prayera of those asking for tbe Improvement of the atreets. Among the most Important work to be done along this line will be that of Twenty third atreet through Syndicate park. The Eastslde Improvement club wss promised by the South Omaha Land company aome time last winter that the boulevard through the park would ba established If the owners of the property surrounding the park would make the necessary Improvementa leading up to the entrance. While nothing has been done along this Hoe, the Improvement club Is still hopeful of the establishment of the boulevard this spring and la doing everything within Ita power to bavs its original plans for a shorter cut and more pleasant driveway to Omaha established. Tha petitions now In circulation cover the places of the city from which the most rigid complaint has come and It Is thought that by the time the work now In contem plation la accomplished but little special improvement work will have to be done to restore the safety of the streets and alleys of tbe city. Charged with Perjary. The much-talked-of Anna Wesenberg as sault caae la again being aired In the po lice court. However, thla time another phase of the case la before Police Judge King. At the trial of John Broaenca, which was recently held before acting Po lice Judge Caldwell, the defendant waa ac quitted. It la jald. upon the evidence of Don Lucey and Thomaa Maloney, wno, oy their teatlmony, established an alibi. Com plaints were yesterday filed against these two men, charging them with having per jured themselves In giving such testimony. Both of tbe men were arrested on warrant issued on such complaints and are now in the city Jail. Tha hearing will bo held either today or tomorrow. Crowds Coatlaa ta Attend. The size of the crowds which attended the horse sale on Tuesday waa by no means di minished yesterday. In fact, there was probably a larger number of persons pres ent than on the opening day. Large num bers . of women from Omaha and South Omaha were prtsent yeaterday. Inspecting ths horses on exhibition. At the sate in tha afternoon the bidding was spirited and some of tba animals brought fancy prices. Today will end tha sale. Will Cteaa Streets. Members of the fire department stated yeaterday that within a few daya the prin cipal paved streets of the city would be thoroughly flushed. Some of them sre In an extremely bad condition and need clean ing and it la the intention of ths admlnla tration to keep thia work going. The health department of the city will have aomethlng to say as tooths manner In which tba work will be carried on and tbs places of oper ation. May Apaalat City Prosecutor. Police Judge P. J. King stated yeaterday that be would Insist upon the council pro viding the police court with a city prose cutor. According to Judge King, aa mat ters now stsnd, he must draw up the com plaint, conduct the prosecution and then de cide tbe case. This, ba saya. Is both em barrassing and Inconvenient. Tba city pros ecutor ordinance of South Omaha provides that tbe prosecutor shall hold office during the term for which tbe mayor Is elected who makes tbe appointment. At tba time H. C. Murphy resigned tbe office recently It waa atated that one of the main reasons tor bis resignation waa the fact that be could not legally act under tbe appoint ment made by ex-Mayor Kelly. May Not Appolat Architect. It la aald that tba School board may not appoint an architect and will declare the office vacant. It tbe Taxpayers' league baa Ita way. this will certainly be tha outcome of the architect controversy now going en. On account of the trouble that roae out of the Hoctor aite architectural plana, tne Taxpayers' league atatea that the office can only occaalon atrlfe and unnecessary ex pense, and for that reason It should be abolished and architectural work left to ipen competition. Architect Davis denlea tba rumor of a caucua with either faotlon of tha School board and aaya that ba know nothing of what will be dona when tbe matter finally comes before tbe Board of Education.
