Chief Donahue waa called by telephone by Spratlen and said that Harris' record was bad. The ' board members whispered cautiously - Into , each others' ear and the chairman then '.

Afterward a member of the board waa asked what were the provision of the ordinance that had been bandied by the. general term of "market-house ordi nance," but replied that he didn't know.

"But we can lay oft the whole force at the and of the year If accessary to bring things out even." Aaks for Leal Advice. This last remark was Inspired, appar ently, by Spratlen' solicitude for the con dition of the fund should the board put on more men than the salary appropriation contemplated. Bpratlen waa wondering, also, if there Isn't a sixty daya' probation ary prov.alm that can be used when de sired, and somebody was unkind enough to look over at a calendar that has the elec tion date printed In large type.

Chairman Broatch remarked: "Mr. Connell Is a very good hand at giving opinions, but he would have ns believe that this board has no rights at all. I thank God I'm permitted to live sow." "Well.

The attendanc at the meeting waa only sufficient to fill the few seats. An Incident of the .. proceedings was the presentation of a communication from a creditor of a fireman, who alleged that the fireman had not paid a bill. No action waa taken, but Chairman Broatch made the re mark that ha believed that "any member of the polloe force or fir companies who doesn't pay his bills should be fired." add ing, however, that the board "la not to be Musical Bokesalan Mala (taarlet.

MERCER TO SETTLE STRIKE Csien Faoifio Icbtm to Maks Him Emimary f Orj inised Labor. GRAND STAND PLAY NEATLY PLANNED Report Fall to Tell flaw Merrer Ia. teaaa to Hypaatlae Strikers la Order to lerare Their Authority. Rumor of the t'nlon Pacific's desire to ettle the strike of It shopmen, which have been current for several days, ar more persistently urged now than ever, despite tn company apparent Indifference with reference to thl matter. From a gentle man bearing close relation to the affaire of the Union Pacific comes this statement: "The Union Pacific has resched a point when a settlement ef this strike must be made. The time is fast approaching when the Immense grsln crop must be transported and President Burt and his associate offi cial kfiow better than anyone else that their motive power 1 in no condition te meet the demand which thl enormous traffic will Impose, consequently. In view of these facta, together with tne positive stand of th trlkers against taking th Initiative, th company haa resolved to make advance for term of peace. ' "It is my opinion that the company will concede substantially all th demands asked by the strikers in order to bring about aa Immediate settlement. But this plan on the company' part Involve a little political atrategy which make It moat Interesting. As I understand it, the scheme Is for Con gressman Mercer te reap the 'glory' of bringing about a aetttement. This Is to be undertaken by the railroad company having Merrer proffer hla services to the strikers as their emissary to approach the officials of the Union Pacific in an effort to octtle the strike. Mercer Is to convince the strik er, before receiving credential from them, that be possesses the power to effect satis factory terms between them and the com pany. This done, th grandstand play of th Second district congressman securing complete concessions from th great rail road corporation for which the strikers might have atrlven in Tain for a year or more will be enacted. Will Bid for Vote. ' 'Then with the eye and admiration of th people centered upon him Mercer will mount the pedestal and proclaim hi new role, that of peacemaker between capital and labor. Incidentally filling hla political coffer with th precious spoils of hi peer- i less triumph. Just how Mr. Mercer count on hoodwink ing the atrlkera into delegating to him this mean of maglo power is not mad known, but it ia expected that event of the future ; will reveal the key to th situation.

The new employe ar re ceiving their money on the ground as a precautloa againat deserting. At their early meetings the boiler maker and machtnlsta repeated their urgent Injunctions . agalpat violence and the strikers on picket avow their intention, of obeying these instruc tion to the letter. Eight nonunion men have reached the Omaha yard from the east. A number of men left the shops after being paid off, but it la not known that they intend to abandon their placea.

Is likely to be awakened out of hi dream, as the word Is being passed along that tb choice of Herdman and Howell 1 Constan tino J. Smyth. Tbe list of poaalbl can didates Includes, besides Shields and Smyth, VT. T. H. Ensor, Ed P. Smith, Jamea B. Boyd, James H. Mcintosh, Lysle I. Abbott, O. M. Hitchcock and W. 8. Poppleton, but th Bmytn stock is experiencing tb par ticular rise. Smyth seem to find favor with the slats maker on several grounds. In the first place he has twice been made the vicarious sacrifice to fusion, having ben given a democratic nomination with a string to It only to have the string pulled at the crit ical moment to make way for someone more acceptable to the populists. In the eeconj plac tb ruling combination I dead aet to boom Ed Howell for the democratic nomi nation for mayor next spring and his chief antagonist, at the present outlook, is sup posed te be Ed F. Smith, the law partner of C. J. Smyth. Th Howell-Herdmaa fac tion figure It out that on plum to on law firm In en year will be all the party will atand for aad that by giving Smyth the rlt;ht ef way for congrea thla fall they will effectually eplke th gun of Ed P.' Smith for mayor next aprlng. The same object could possibly be accompllehed by the nomi nation of Ed P. Smith for congress now, thus sidetracking him for future competi tion, but whether It la 8mitb or Smyth It cannot be both of them, aad they will have to settl It between them which member of the firm they visa to hav pushed te the front. At leant thla I the latest story which come from sources oa tb Insid of the democratic fold. It ia needless to say that the populists are not being consulted in the matter.
