THE OMATTA DAILT BEK: HATUJtOAY, SITTTKMlJKit H, IDOil. TIRED OF NON-RESIDENT MAN Ipaaktrs at Fint Ward lepublicaa Club Layal U Horjo Candidata. MERCER RtPEATtDLY SNUBS THE CLUB Although lavlte t Every Mtl Hoa-ResMeat Cot(rnia Falls 1 Pat la Apacaraave Other ' Ward Meetlasa. Loyalty to tht First ward candidate to the congressional, fight waa the keynote of the meeting of the Flrat Ward Repub lican club last evening and each of tho peakera In turn had something to ear upon that subject. The regular business of the meeting, which consisted almply In the adoption of the constitution and bylawa, which bad been referred back to the committee for alight alterations ' In wording, was promptly disposed of and the remainder of the evening was derated to a sort of "ex perience meeting." as It was termed by one of the members. The various mem bers present' were called upon and ex pressed their views, each in his own man ner, the principal and almost the onlr topic being tha congressional contest. Isaac fl. Uascall, who had been absent from the last meeting, said that the con stitution Which the club bad Just adopted favored tha people of tha First ward and be waa heartily In accord with that prin ciple. He believed that the voters of the ward should see that a delegation waa aent to the convention for the candidate of the First ward, Mr. Cornish, and under those circumstances they could not be charged with emnlty or unfair treatment toward any man. "Mercer hae enjoyed five terms," said Judge Hascall, "and by this time should be put back on the shelf, and as long aa a question haa been raised as to Mercer being a resident of Omaha, I believe that the voters should take that into consideration." He hoped the mem bers of the club would vote for Mr. Cor nish and a First ward delegation for Cor nish would exercise a very Important In fluence In tha convention, for the First Ward waa always called upon to vote first. Dr. Ford spoke In much the same strain; aaylng he fully Relieved that If the First ward could secure the nomination of Mr. Cornish he would be elected. Bamuel Scott, vice president of the club, occupied the chair, la the absence of. the president, ' and he commented upon the absence of Mr. Mercer from the club meet-IngR.'Ha- said: "It has been suggested that some of the votera of the First ward .a vi cowardly in not having proclaimed their' attitude In this fight, but I think there are .others who are cowardly. Mr. Mercer, I am told by our president, has been, invited ' to every meeting this club has held and yet he haa not once favored ua, although- all of the other candidates have been here." B. J. Cornlah was received with great enthusiasm and addressed his fellow real dents of the First ward at some length ihaiikiuK them for their eiEreeslon friendliness and loyalty. He said In part: "I soe. before me a body of men of the First ward who, have never been defeated and who have never made an unfair fight. At times. I have had them against me and I bav had, occasion to know it, for they made theirs fight In the open. At other tlmea I have had them with me and I have also sit the effect of that." Mr. Cornish discussed his prospects of nomination in a most hopeful manner. Others, who spoke briefly ware C. C, Sunblad, . Peter Back and F. W. Koetter. The club will hold Ita next meeting .Wednesday, evening In. National hall on . Tft)rtaati streeVBd aa the Second Ward club also meets on that night, an effort will be made to consolidate the two tato one big meeting. ' The Sixth Ward Republican club last night decided to. curb the verbosity of speakers and adopted a rule whereby all candldatea are limited to ten-minute apeachea and all others to thirty minutes R. O. Fink announced his candidacy for nomination for state senator, which an nouncement waa received In good part and with-cheers by members of the club. The second speaker, John T. Cathers, also candidate for the state senate, en tered upon a discussion of state issues, arraigning the fusion party for hypocrisy In denouncing the Influence of corporations In politics and state affaire and nominating corporation attorneyr for office. W. A. DeBord referred to hi candidacy for county attorney and pledged himself, If .elected, to fill the office without fear or favor. Then. - eame songs by the Roosevelt quartet and a short talk by N. C. Pratt, who referred to the opportunltlea of Amer icans. In spits of sporadic attempts of biased committees, to deny equal opportu nltleo 'to candldatea "The party will not stand for unjust action on the part of such committees, and I believe that In this con. areas-tonal district the people will arise In their might and compel the committee to treat . all candidates Justly. I have been denied the right of contesting In the two other, counties of ths district, but I believe that -my friends In this county will work DEAD FROGS r Wert Killed hy Coffee. 18-1000th of a single grain of caffeine from 'coffee, will kill a frog of moderate else. ' The frogs die of general paralysis, following violent tetanic convulsions. Falck. Stuhlman, Brill, Johansen, Leven and other famous scientists and Invest! gators bave repeatedly proven It. This same alkaloid caffeine, a powerful erebro-sptnal stimulant and diuretlo Irrl tant, waa originally discovered In 1820. Eight years later thelne was discovered In tea and tha two drugs were afterwarda proven to be Identical. Caffeine In coffee causes'., the sleeplessness. Increased fre queaey'. of the pulse. tretnulousness of heart, and frequent urination noticed after drinking atrong coffee. This explains th cause- of the nervous dlseasss that fre quently come to regular coffee and tea drinkers. ' The drug slowly and ' aurely poisons the system and finally brings on soma form of fixed disease like valvular heart disease, dyspepsia, kidney complaint or same other, unless the person Is strong enough te stand up against the drug. Practically every steady coffee or- tea drinker shows some form of Incipient dls ease. ' Ask anyone you know and you will seldom find one entirely well. Where's the uss In slugging and drug glng the poar old body until It tottera and tremblea with diseased nerves? , Can't quit? It la one of ths easiest things you ever tried to do It you wlU bave Postum Food Coffee, made right and aerved hot with good areas and augar. There ta the desp seal brown of rich coffee that turns to golden brown when cream Is added. Thea the flavor la unique, all Ita own. Try It ten days or two weeks and your dyspepsia will either leave or show good signs of leaving, and your heart and pulse be stronger than for a long time back. It la one of the moat delicious aeasatlcns known, to feel returning health and vigor. Health makes Heaven here on earth, and people can bave It if they will but live aa nature Intended. . - Quit .coffee and use the food beverage, Posluas Ceflea, the harder for me because of this In equality. I waa amused at the remarks of one of my friends the other day. He said: I find some for you and some against you. but f find no one except members of the con press Ion si committee who ssy that you have no right to run.' I promise you that If I am ever given the opportunity to name committee it will not be one which wilt attempt to bar all other candidates but myself." The lsst speaker was E. T. Fsrnsworth, lifelong democrat, who hss left thst party because of Its position with reference to existing conditions. He spoke from the standpoint of a disgusted democrat, who hsd but recently discovered bis right place, drawing a contrast between the democratic party of the days of James K. Polk and the fusion party of today. Republicans of the Ninth ward met last night at the hall at Twenty-ninth and Farnam streets and organized for the cam paign by re-electing the old officers: C. 8. Huntington, president; Oeorge C. Thomp son, vice president; Jonathan Edwards, sec retary, and A. H. Hennlngs, treasurer.

' SOCIALIST PARTY GAINS ITS POINT .creeds la Hsvlsg Proposition for Independent Labor Party Clvea Temporary laletne Scheme t Help t'aloa Paclno Strikers. The color line waa Indirectly drawn in the councils of the Central Labor union last night, when the promoters of, a new hodcarrlers' union, whose membership Is restricted to the white man, won a victory over the old organization which admits black ad white and which at a previous meeting had succeeded In having Its rival union denied representation in the Central Labor union. Local lodge No. 10,130, Hodcarrlers and Building Laborers, is the new union which wss recently organized by A. K. Willis and which applied for membership In the Cen tral Labor union, having obtained a charter purporting to be from the American Federa tion of Labor. Its application for repre sentation was denied and the charter and organization denounced as fraudulent. Com munication wss bad with Secretary Morri son of the American Federation of Labor in the meantime, which brought the reply from Mr. Morrison that the charter had been duly and regularly obtained and that the union deserved representation in the Central Labor union. This was granted last night despite the earnest protests of local lodge No. 8,04$, the union which ad mits both races to Its ranks. Socialists Win Oat. The socialist element of the Central Labor union succeeded In reversing a former ac tion of the central body last night and gaining a victory. The proposition recently made through a communication from the Central Labor union of Milwaukee, a strong socialist body, for the co-operation of the Omaha Central Labor union In the promo tion of the socialist party, was adopted in an Indirect manner. The local meat cutters brought this about in a letter which they addressed to the Central Labor union, urg ing against the adoption of a recent motion of the central body .that an Independent political party be formed in Omaha, that would rival the socialist as well aa the other parties, and recommending that "we will not be a party to thla move, aa a bona- fide labor party Is already In the field." The communication made it plain . that tha bonaflde party" referred to was the social ist party and for It the support of the Cen tral Labor union was sought and accorded by the adoption of this proposition by an overwhelming vote of the -central body. William Taylor, Ed Foster and H. B. Armstrong, a committee from the Typo graphical union, appeared before the meet ing and presented a plan of their union for raising funds for ths Union Pacific strikers. The plan was heartily approved and adopted. The scheme was that the delegates urge upon their respective lodges the levying of weekly tax . of 10 ceula pcf capita to be devoted to the maintenance of a contingent fund to aid the strikers. Brewery Workers Controversy. The delegates found time to revamp the old brewery workers-Bremen controversy, and after losing much time, finally came to temporary settlement of this issue. It was decided not to unseat the brewery workers' delegatea until after the annual meeting of the American Federation of Labor, when it is expected final disposition of thla and similar cases will be made. The matter was brought up on a motion to re consider the vote of a recent meeting. by which the brewery workers' delegates were expelled from the Central ' Labor union's meetings and denied seats. In connection with this decision a motion prevailed for, the chair to name a committee from the brewery workers, firemen and the Central La bo;- union to confer on this quea tlon, with a view of effecting a settlement locally. The committee appointed at a recent meeting to draft a letter to Governor Sav age, replying to a communication from him to the central body, ' reported that it car ried out ita work, but had not been favored by the chief executive with an answer to its latest epistle. Among the score of motions made and carried waa one that a committee be ap pointed by the president to draft resolu tions protesting against the proposed em ployment of girls for messengers to take the places of boys now employed by the Western Union Telegraph company. This was proposed on the grounds thst the In novation meant a contemplated reduction in wages. LOCAL BREVITIES.

MUNICIPALITY GETS BILL FROM COUNTY Is Is for Boarding; Prisoners and Will Bo Plied Away More Talk of Establishing Tannery la Magle City. City Attorney Murdoch and City Engi neer Beal will preseut adverse reports on the petitions presented for the opening of N street. Thla Information was ascer tained yesterday, when It was supposed that there might be a called meeting of tha city council. Mr. Murdock asserts thst he cannot approve the petition for the reason that the Brubacker tract, which extends from Thirteenth to Sixteenth street, hss never been dedicated to the city. This tract, according to the rec ords, was condemned by action of the council In 1892, but by some hook or crook the money was paid to the wrong party and the proper transfer was never made. The city therefore has no title to the prop erty and Mr. Murdock Insists that it will be necessary to recondemn the property before a petition for grading can be con sidered by the mayor and council. In order to comply with the conditions of the petition Mr. Murdock asserts that It will be necessary for the city to start all over again and condemn the property needed. Aa this work will take some time, there Is no hope of the atreet being opened to the river this year. Connty Sends BUI. ' County Clerk Miller has sent to the mayor and council a bill for $13,575.35. This Is the amount paid by Douglas county for the board and lodging of prisoners sent from South Omaha. Up to January 1, 1902, the bill amounted to 12,647. From Janu ary 1 to July 81 this amount had been In creased by 8927, making the total men tioned. In a letter which follows the statement Clerk Miller says to the city officials that an early settlement of the claim is de sired. This Is the same old story which comes up twice a year. The city officials assert that an arrangement waa male some yeara ago whereby prisoners were to ba fed and lodged at the county jail for a period of years. Owing to this alleged agreement the city officials merely place the semi-annual atatement on file and that ends the matter. No effort has ever been msde here to raise the money for the pay ment of the claim. It Is understood that the present administration will do the same aa In the past and file Mr. Miller's bill. More Tannery Talk. Frits Freltag, president, and Harry Christie, secretary of the South Omaha Commercial club, are trying to Induce east ern men to start a tannery here. What the eastern people want la that the resi dents take 50 per cent of the stock In the concern. An answer must be given within one week. It Is asserted by those who sre pushing tha affair that the people beAliid the movement have a secret proceaj) of tanning where bark la not used. The eid plant of tha concern la supposed to . at Atlanta, Ga. Little Interest seems bj be taken In the matter here and it may pa a hard matter to raise the $25,000 to start tba concern. Those who are conversant with each anaira assert that it a concern wlCh a patent on a process for tanning wlthcut bark want to locate here, it would not be necessary to ask tha people to put-up hilt or tha money. ....,; j Fonndatlons Abont Completed.
