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.
These were named as candidates tor dele
gates to the Judicial convention: W. 8.
Heller, J. H. Daniels. M. VanHorn. A
large crowd was present and speeches
were msde by local candidates. All pre
dicted republican success in the coming
era endorsed C. 8. Huntington for the nom
ination for county commissioner. The club
will meet every Wednesday evening.

WHITE UNION IS ADMITTED
Cantral Labai Unien Keoagnirea Saw Or
gamiatian of Hod Carriers. '
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.

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
