City Attorney Connell was formally re
quested for an opinion as to the Individual
personal liability of Ibe members of the
board should the body appoint ao many
policemen that their combined salaries
i would amount to more than the council's
. appropriation for that purpose. Chairman

of capturing Frank Harris as the latter
was making his escape from the station
: the afternoon of August 7, and told also
of striking the latter after Harris had re
stated him and called him vile names.
City Comptroller John Weatberg, who re
i ported the affair to Chief Donahue, cor-
roborated Wilson's story, said that the

of WlUon and - realised that there might
be extenuating circumstances,- ao did not
'seek Wilson's dismissal. Chief Donahue
waa called by telephone by Spratlen and
said that Harris' record was bad. The

advised the chief to replace "Sleepy," the

' that ho intended to do ao when he could
get the right kind of an animal. He aald
that Redell had spoiled "Sleepy" by putting

whispering tete-a-tete of some length, but
the board finally decided that the only
thing to do waa to approve. . ,
"Were more members neceeeary oa your

"We need all we can. get." replied Don

"How many have your",
"The force. Including matron and boat

"Humph! That's more than used to be
on there." commented Spratlen. "But we
can lay oft the whole force at the and

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. The com

members in the event of going beyond the
limits of the appropriation. Preliminary to

city attorney to attend the board's meetings
and give advice. Wright Informed him that
It la that official's duty to give the advice
when appealed to, but not to attend the
meetings. 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. I don't know that I thank any

An Incident of the .. proceedings was the

in the open market a they may be needed
At a special meeting of the board Monday
evening the committee on supplies, com
prising Levy, Stubendorf, Howard and Rob-
art Smith, recommended that th bids on

els books, portfolio cover and not paper

imous vote.
Robert Smith explained that the bid at
th Klopp A Bartlett - company and th
Rees Printing company on lithographing
were th earns, and -that th only reason
th former waa given preference wa the
fact that It came first In the alphabetical
list. Cbatrmaa Levy ef th commute said
that only such printed matter and sta
tionery a la needed for Immediate ns will
be purchased now. and that perhaps In the
course of a few weeks th board would de
cide to advertise a third time for bids on

"It was tb only thing we could do." aald
a member of the committee. "If we had
awarded a contract it would have gone to
an out of town firm, sine on a Job of $.

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.

Th men in th Omaha shop were paid
off yesterday. 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

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. There was great commotion
when the new men who were given their
pay lound they were being "docked" for
their board and laundry.

SMYTH STOCK GOES UPWARD
Former Attoraey General Said to Be
Slate for Congressional
t - Kanlaatloa.
Local democratic leader are fixing up
their slate for the dtmocratlo congressional
convention, which I to be held In this city
next Saturday. t Th delegatea hav ' al
ready been aeleoted. An Inspection of the
list show that most of them ar eon-
trolled by th Jackaonlan end of the demo
cratic machine, whoee lever are worked
by the . Herdman-Howall combination.
When the delegates were aeleoted they
were allowed to raat under the tacit un
derstanding that if no one else wanted the
nomination It should he given to Georg.i
W. Shields, who at that time wa th only
aspirant for th plac who waa willing to
admit hi candidacy. Shields, however. 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.
Corruption win not more than honesty.
