Committes Islds a Meeting.
ADOPTS SPECIAL RULES BY RESOLUTION
ftepabllraas Who Hire Morrd from
One Ward to Another Mut
Make Affidavit Before City
Clerk lo Vole.
Tn response to the call of Chairman Goes
a majorltr of the members of the execu
tive committee of the county republican
central committee assembled tn bla office
yesterday afternoon and adopted resolutions
governing the primaries to be held next
Friday. Those present were: John K.
Behm of the 8econd ward. Harry B. Zlra
man of the Third. C. W. DeLaroatre of the
Fifth. W. B. Askwith of the Sixth. John I
Fierce of the Seventh, Clark R. Hutton of
the Eighth. Charles A. Ooss of the Ninth.
John C. Trouton and Joseph Koutsky of
South Omaha. It was voted to allow George
Cathroe, who was present, to serve as
proxy for A. M. Back, the member from the
First ward.
The- resolutions adopted were these:
Be it reeolved, That where a voter prop
erly registered In one ward has removed to
another ward since his last registration. It
In necessary for him to swear to an affi
davit before the city clerk .to the elTect that
he was duly registered In the former ward
from which he has removed as a repub
lican, and as a republican voter at the last
general registration In said ward, which
affldavlt-munt also be sworn to by at least
two well known and reputable resident free
holders of the ward In which he desires to
vote at the said republican primaries on
Pptember 19. 1S2. and must produce to
and file with the Judges and clerks of said
primary election where he desires to vole
aid affidavit. ' '
It Is hriby resolved,, and Judges and
clerks ol the primary election to be held In
the rltlew of Omaha and South Omaha on
Frldav. September 19. 1902. will take notice
and govern themselves accordingly, That
no transfer or certificate of removal Is
necessary to entitle a person to vote at
such prlmttrv, otherwise entitled to vote
thereat, where tho removal of such person
has been merely from one district of a
ward Into another district of the same
ward, uli) re the last registration of the
voter In the ward.
Resolved That unregistered voters be
loi glng to any one of the following classes
may be permitted to vote by making affi
davit before the city clerk, whlc-h affidavit
must also be sworn to by two resident
freeholders of the ward In which the party
Is now entitled to vole showing that the
person is a, republican and In entitled to
vote In the next election In the ward and
neglecting ' to register for one of the fol
lowing reasons, namely: That at the time
of the last registration he was necessarily
absent from the city, or. was sick, or was
prevented from, registering by death, slck
rtess or other calamity In his family, or
was a nonresident of the city at that time
and has since removed to the city, or was
-a minor at the time of the last registra
tion. . A ' i
Clark R. Hutton. Of the Eighth ward was
elected assistant secretary of the conven
tion. , The committee adjourned until 10:30 this
morning, when Jt Is to meet and complete
..its labors. CLaiiiuau Gu hal a &i6tl&

office and the political 'conferees were not
through when the hour arrived.
William. A. DtBord announced to his
! friends yesterday that he would not be a
.'candidate for county attorney. He said:
"Yes, I have decided to withdraw. I find
that professional business will prevent my
giving to the campaign the time required
for a vigorous contest. . ,Whlle I shall sup
port and try to help elect the ticket noml
'. nated. my efforts will be first directed to
.ray law business. My law partner, Mr. Bs'l
Pldjige,' has thought it would take too much
' of my time from our business to make the
canvass, or to' attend to the business of the
county attorney's office. He has been
through both and I defer to his Judgment."
Although the meeting of the First Ward
Republican club last evening had been an
nounced as a club business senslon and none
of tho candidates was present, tbe members
were entertained with several speeches and
showed their appreciation of the sentiments
expressed by heartily applauding the speak
ers. The- first speaker called was L. Ernest
Phillips, who cams as the representative of
tbe Young Men's Republican club and whose
subject was -"Harmony." "There !s prob
ably not a man here this evening," said Mr.
Phillips, ;who does not want that this dis
trict should continue to be represented by a
republican congressman. It Is only natural
that each man should have his own Ideas as
to who that republican should be, but I
think "we are all agreed that the congress
man from this district should above all
things be a republican. To that ena we must
see to It that wa nominal a man who can
he elected; a man upon whom tbe party can
agree and not one who will divide the re
publican vote and give the democrats a
chance to elect their candidate. Mr. Hitch
cock Is In many retpects a worthy man and
perl spa he would r present this district well
in congress, but he Is not a republican and
therefore we republicans do not want htm."
Judge Hascall, who was next called out
vpv& Uis floor, said I: was glad to hear the
representative of the young men's club make
so food a Cornish speech. "We do need
harmony and I am glad the young man came
hero this evening to present that Idea to
as, but I wish also to say that we are go
lng to have harmony. Tbe young man has
spoken of It ss something we lacked, but I
think he has become unnecessarily alarmed
at the activity of the campaign Just aa some
persons hearing two -cats fighting in the
back; yard might believe that all the cats
were going to be exterminated on the spot;
but the cats keep on increasing and so do
the republicans. If Mr. Mercer should te
nominated we would probably get out and
suppoit him. but he 11 not going to be nom
inated, for we do not want him. Mercer
has been our representative for five terms
now and he has never done anything to re
flect credit upon bis state or to distinguish
hlmfelf. Ttat Idea of harmony Is a good
one and I am obliged to my young friend
kere for having suggested It. bet us have
haimrnjr' and nominate Cornish aa a man
who can be elected and who will be a credit
to us and to himself after he Is elected. It
. Mercer had stayed at home Instead of tak
ing a couple of trips around the world
maybe ha would be more In hsrmony with
the people of this district, but bs seems to
'Bronchitis
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is
the only medicine you need.
We have been saying this for
60 years'. If you want ad
ditional proof, ask your own
family physician. We will
abide by his decision if you
will. That's fair, Isn't it?
M Ayer't Cherry Pactoral never fails
to cure mo of a cold. I have recom
mended it to many friends suffering
from throat and lung troubles, and they
all say H doea tbe work quietly and
thoroughly." Cbarlea Prevost, Plana

have lost all Interest In us as a people. He
serves Indlvldusls and not the people, and
during this entire campaign thus far he has
not deigned to go to the meetings or to ad
Jress the people. He relies upon tbs Indi
vidual friends he has served and looks to
them for import. Mercer is a better lob
lylst than Coralih. I have no doubt, but I
am sure that Cornish would not be in con
gress two terms before be had distinguished
Himself by doing something that would bring
credit to his state. Mercer has served some
people too well and the others of us not at
all. So let us nominate Cornish and have
harmony."
Dr. Ford delivered a brief address on be
half of the young men In politics in which
he urged his hearers to vote at the primaries
for Mr. Cornish as a young man. a resident
of their own ward and one who was pos
sessed of ability to serve the district ably
and creditably In congress.
J. F. Coy, a resident of the Eighth ward,
spoke briefly advocating the candidacy of
Mr. Cornish.
The meeting of tho Sixth Ward Repub
lican club last night was devoted exclu
sively to speech-making. E. M. Bartlett
was the principal orator. Dr. W. H. Chris
tie followed Mr. Bartlett, making a short
talk.
R. O. Fink announced his withdrawal
from the race for state senator on account
of sickness, which makes It Impossible for
him to make the campaign. He was fol
lowed by Judge L. D. Holmes, who spoke
for some time paying tribute to the party.
N. C. Pratt was tbe next speaker, calling
attention to the fact that one week from
last night the primaries would be held and
requesting all of his friends to get out at
these primaries.
George McCoy announced his candidacy for
assessor of tbe ward and proposed to the
other candidates that all should stand by
tbe results of the primaries. P. H. White
announced his candidacy for the same office
and den'ed that he had been hiring "scabs"
for the Union Pacific. B. F. Anderson made
announcement of his candidacy for the office
and made a plea for reduction of expenses
In the office. W. W. Eastman stated that
be, also, was a candidate for the position
of assessor. The meeting adjourned for two
weeks.
FROST BITES THROUGH KHAKI
Colored Soldiers at Fort Klobrara
Irobablr Chattering in
Rag Time.
Tbe gllatenlrg teeth of about 600 colored
soldiers out at Tort Niobrara are chattering
In rag time, their spines undulate with
chills and their ample heels are threatened
with an epidemic of chilblain. For, this
week, the mercury has gone 8 degrees be
low the freezing point at Valentine and the
tawny soldiers are In the khaki of the
Philippines khaki and underwear so light
and thin that a September zephyr goes
through It as readily and easily as a tack
through a rubber tire.
The soldiers are tn seven companies of
the Twenty-fifth United States infan
try, which arrived from "the far east
in August. For ujuui'us they ti&d
been In the islands, where the mean
temperature Is above TO degrees Fah
renheit. They have had since coming to
Nebraska neither a change of uniform nor
a change of cuticle. The War department
plans to change the former when necessary
and Providence usually changes the latter
In the course of time. In this Instance the
soldiers have become alarmed lest the
wheels of the former turn no faster than
the mythical mills of the latter.
Their officers, when the frost struck tbem
the other night, realized how new were the
conditions and negotiated with Washington
at a length that made the wires hot. It
was a relief to have something hot, even
If It was nothing but a wire. Orders were
sent for costs for the barks, socks for the
feet and other garments for all intervening
territory. Until the supply Is sent, khaki
and transparent underwear must remain
the garb.
There to one warming reassurance, how
ever, In the thought that a strongbox which
an express company carried out of Omaha
yesterday for Valentine Is supposed to have
contained $42,000 In cold; no, warm, rash J
for the soldiers. Because of the incon
venience of payment In the Philippines
and because of tbe regiment's wanderings,
some of the men have a full year's back pay
to their credit and nearly all had several
months on their tab. It Is anticipated that
If the strongbox srrlves safely today the
frigidity will be relieved with at least a
temporary warm time.
RABBI SIMON RESUMES WORK
Lectare ssi Choir Season Opens at
the Harney Street
Temfle.
The lecture and choir season of the Har
ney Street temple beganj last night, Rabbl
Simon preaching the sermon of welcome
and the new quartet choir furnishing the
music. Rabbl Simon's address wss rich In
poetic figure. He developed the three
themes: Thst autumn Is the home sesaon
and (hat borne seems the more dear be
cause of former absence; that the church Is
the true home, the bouse of God, and the
Inatlnctlveness of worship. He said that
man was a creature of Instinct, as are the
lower animals, and divided Instinct Into
three classes: First, the Instinct of hunger,
that in the fierce struggle for existence was
the idea of self-preservation and brought
about the survival of the fittest; second,
the struggle for the preservation of others,
not nutrition, but reproduction: and last,
the Instinct of worship, by which we revere
Ocd without know ng why. These three have
made the univerae as we know It. according
to Rabbl Simon, and he promised that his
future addresses would be for s-lf, for home
snd for Judaism. He asked that those who
held the higher Idea of home to coma
weekly to the church home.

PREPARE FOR WINTER S1ECE

Ihspe Thsir Plus Accordingly.
HCKET LINE MAY BE SHORTENED
nbntantlat Aid Is Reeelved. bat
Lsrser and Permanent Fond
M ill Be solicited to Insure
System In FlarM.
Lenders of the t'nlon Pacific strike have
reached the conclusion that they have nn
all-winter's flcht on their hands and with
(bis thought in mind they are deliberating
on methods of conducting tbe strike cal
culated to meet the exigencies of the cold
weather and best subserve the Interests of
the men involved in the struggle. As was
stated In The Bee yesterday It has been
proposed, to reduce the picket line and
allow those strikers who feel the neces
sity to leave the city and work elsewhere
until the strike here Is over. This. It is
claimed, will reduce the Idle force, increase
the number of paying members and conse
quently remove a financial burden from
the shoulders of the various lodges.
A meeting of the men who are conduct
ing the strike was held at the Midland
hotel yeslerday, at which matters of vital
Interest were taken up. No definite re
sults were reached and the meeting was
continued until today. Thos In attendance
were President John McNeil, national
leader of the boiler makers; President Ed
Kennedy of the local and district lodges of
boiler makers; J. W. Kline, executive com
mitteeman for the boiler makers; First
Vice President P. J. Conlon and Third Vice
President George Mulberry of the ma
chinists' national organization; Samuel
Grace, secretary, and other members of the
machinists' executive committee. Inci
dentally It was suggested that an attorney
be employed to direct the strikers from
now on In a legal manner.
Some Opposition to Plan.
There Is some opposition to the proposi
tion of reducing the picket force. It Is a
question whether this proposition ran be
carried. William Richilleu, who has been
one of the most active picket officers and
wcrUers and who today assumes charge of
the entire force, believes It will be a mis
take to lessen the number of these men.
He has Just returned from a trip through
Iowa and northern Illinois towns collecting
funds for tho strike treasury and Is con
vinced that there Is ample support for all
the strikers without reducing the picket
force in order that some may go out of th
city to work and thus reduce the bene
ficiary fund. However, this question will
be settled today, no doubt.
It was proposed at yesterday's meeting
that a Joint appeal be made by the allied
unions engaged In the, strike to associate
lodges over the country, but this plan Is
held in abeyance, pending a decision as to
the amount of funds necessary and the
facilities already at band for raising them.
The blacksmiths and boiler makers
throughout the country have levied an as
scssment of $1 per member to be diverted
to the strike fund and the machinists, har
Ing other resources at their disposal, have
not felt, the necessity of calling for such
an assessment from their members.
Warned Against Violence. .
, At the morning meetings ot the boiler
makers, machinists and blacksmiths mem
bers were warned again to abstain from
violent demonstrations, such as occurred
at the yards a day or two ago. Each union
Imposes fines upon any of its members
guilty- of unwarranted assaults upon any em
ploye of tbe Union Pacjflc and. In aome
Instances, these fines have been Increased
as a further admonition to, the members
who are doing picket duty. The blacksmiths
have raised their penalty from 11 to $5, the
full amount of a weekly benefit.
Said a leading member of the blacksmiths
yesterday: "The better element of strik
ers are, as Chief Donahue puts It, not In
favor ot fighting or violence In any form,
and we propose to suppress such demon
strations In tbose who are not easily re
strained. For the length of time this strike
bas been In progress there has been very
little violence, that we fully realize, but
what we want to do Is to prevent any vio
lence whatever."
President Kennedy of tho boiler makers
has been Informed that a number of non
union men were employed In Buffalo, N. V..
and sent to the t'nlon ' Pacific shops in
Omaha Thursday over the Wabash.
Baldwin Makes Declaration.
"The t'nlon Pacific company Is entitled
to full protection of its property, and to the
security of its employes from insults snd
sssaults, and to secure such protection It
will call upon the city, state or federal
authorities. If necessary. The frequent
acts of violence must stop, or decisive ac
tion will be taken."
This Is the statement made by General
Attorney John N. Baldwin yesterday:
"If the public knew the full details ot
the many lawless and brutal acts recently
committed by the strikers there would be
less sympathy expreased for them and less
encouragement held out to them to con
tinue the strike. Looking over tbe list ot
sssaults during the last week. It is re
markable that such a state of affairs should
be tolerated In this city, and much more
remarkable that It should be encouraged by
apparently well-meaning cltliens.
"Crowds of strikers and their sympathis
ers frequent the gates of the company's
yards, doing what they call 'picket duty.'
Their real duty seems to be to assault or
abuse and intimidate every workman who
goes through the gates. It is their purpose,
as openly expreased, to create such a reign
of terror that no man will dare work for
the company. No person pretends that
these pickets are acting on their individual
responsibility. It Is well known that they
are placed there by their head officers or
walking delegates, and that their every act
of lawlessness is heartily approved by the
strike officials, who place tbem on 'duty'
around the premises of the company.
"One of the cases is that of Michael
Cronln. He has lived in Omaha for twenty
years, snd . bas worked for the Union
Pacific since ISM. From his wages he has
been able to support his family, and bas
saved up fully $5,000, which he has Invested
In Omaha property. He declined to quit
when the other men struck, and they seized
every opportunity to abuse and intimidate
him. One morning a well known striker
ssid to him, 'If you keep up this work, you
will be killed, and If nobody else will do
It. I will kill you myself.'
Afraid to Gn Rome.
"He was afraid to go home that day and
remained in the shops all night. In the
meantime hia wife was notified that he
would be killed. She was terribly fright
ened, and induced him to quit work. Ha
remained at home then for several weeks,
but finally tried to get bark to work. At
the Caas street gate Str.kers MUlett, O'Don
nell. Boles and several others stopped him
and told him if he went In he 'would be
sorry for it.' When be went back to town
a man with a revolver In bis hand followed
bim two blocks. Last Monday be went
back to work and on Tuesday evening, while
leaving tbe yards for home, in company
with George Roach, another workman, they
were assaulted within 150 feet of tbs gats-
Mr. Cronln was knocked down twlca and
waa badly bruised. The polisemen sta
tioned near got around too late to are who
committed the assault.
"Last Monday &1JU Heajy GulaatU, ace
of tbe workmen, was assaulted by strikers
up near Jefferson square. One ran up to
him snd asked him It he was working In
the shops. He replied that he waa and
the man knocked bim down without an
other word. Another striker kicked bim
In the back. He was almost senseless for
a while, and when he tried to get up they
came bark and knocked him down again.
"Several days before tbts attack Mr.
Gulnotte's wife wtnt down to the yards to
see him. She was stopped at the gate and
the pickets swore at her and frightened her
so that she was afraid to go In. Other
women who have tried to see their hus
bands or tried to send word to and from the
gates have been treated in tbe same man
ner. They tell pitiful stories ot the brutal
oaths and threats dealt out to tbem by the
pickets.
"Last Friday E. H. Reld. one of the work
men, was stopped and assaulted by
Striker Lee Harrier (or Harawayt and was
threatened by others. On Sunday E. J. Win
ters, one of the shop guards, was caught
outside the yards and waa badly beaten.
There are several other cases of minor
assaults and the threats recently made not
only promise bodily barm to Foreman Tur
tle and others, but tbey say the new smoke
stack Is to be blown up with dvnamlte.
Panver-Iah Incident.
"The most recent case is that which oc
curred Wednesday night. Two of the guards
named Fauver and Ish stopped work at
o'clock and left the yards to go to their
homes. They were followed by a gang ot
ten or fifteen strikers and were attacked.
Ish was badly beaten and was seriously In
jured by having one ot his eyeglasses
broken and tbe pieces driven into his eye.
Fauver escaped serious Injury by making
an active fight, proving too shifty for bis
cowardly assailants. This affray occurred
In open daylight, and the crowd of strik
ers bung after Fauver, throwing missiles
and using foul epithets until the police
finally appeared. As Is frequently the case
the police urrested the first man they came
to. This was Fauver, and most of the as
sailants hurried away to stir up more
trouble or 'bend their energies' elsewhere.
"It is a curious condition of affairs when
any association of Individuals can 'officially'
blacklist a business house or factory In
this city and station men before the en
trances to warn people not to go In or to
lnBult and assault tbose who disregard
their warning. In such cases it Is difficult
to discriminate between the terms 'black
list' and 'blackmail.'
"While the Insults, threats and acts of
Intimidation on the part of the lawless
element have been of dtily and almost
hourly occurrence since the beginning of
the strike, the cases of actual violence are
on the Increase during the past week. In
dicating that the recent declaration of the
head officers of tbe union that 'every energy
would sow be directed to the Union Pacific
strike' was no Idle threat. The news that
several of the most lawless men from
Rawlins snd Cheyenne have been trans
ferred here to do picket duty for the strik
ers Is followed Immediately by a number
of brutal acts on the streets and In open
daylight. The police force of the city has
been too scattered to prevent these acts,
and gangs of piratical pickets swarm up
the streets and assault men whoso only
offense Is that they desire to work for a
living and spend their wages In the city
for the benefit of their families."
Samuel Hlgglns. who was superintendent
of motive power for the Union Pacific for
about a year and Just left the office for a
position with the Southern railway at
Washington at the Inception of this strike,

PLKS' NIGHT AT THE CONCERT
Splendid Crowd Fills the Pavilion on
. Occasion, of the Great Or
der's Attendance.
The eoncert of last night was especially
for the Elks. The Gardners also attended.
and the members ot tbe two fraternities,
with their ladles, numbered about D00. Of
the 3.000 teats under the concert tent only
a very few were unoccupied. The .evening
began with a well applauded address by
Grand Exalted Ruler George P. Cronk of
the Elks, followed later In the evening by
Joseph E. Barton, who sang, by request, and
the Elks' quartet. Miss Crawford made her
last appearance and ber rich voice and
charming stage presence won her prolonged
applause. The program was ended by the
band with "Reminiscences of Scotland,"
which were neither very reminiscent nor
very Scotch, but pleasing nevertbless. The

"James Boys la Mtsaonrl."
Lait eight the Boyd was the scens of
much bloodless carnage and the burning of
a great deal of .black powder. All this oc
curred during a presentation of tbe "drama"
of "Ths James Boys In Missouri," tbe same
being viewed by the largest audience that
has sssembled In the theater yet this sea
son. Tbe word "audience" is uied advisedly.
for the play depends chiefly on Its no se,
snd during a great part of tbs time the
curtain Is up .the scenery Is obscured by
tbs powder smoke. It is a raelodrsms of
the Serceat type and takes all the liberties
with known facts necessary to render
Frank and Jesse James In the light of
sbused citisens of "poor old Muioura."
and throw the onus of their brutal crimes
aad bloody misdeeds on others. Tbs piece
will be presented again at a matinee today
and again thia evening.
BUILDING A MODERN CIRCUS
One of tbe Really Marvelloas Feafare
of the Management of tbe
Show.
If there Is one thing sbout the modern
circus that the public marvej at It Is
the wonderful system connected with Its
operation. How a complete city of tents,
with all Its people, horses and varied para
phernalia can arrive in a city at daylight
and put up iU fifteen acres ot canvas, give
Its entertainment afternoon and evening
and park up again within tbe space of
little more than an hour after the night
audience has been dismissed, and never
forget so much as a single stake, is more
than the average citizen can fathom.
Ringllng Brothers will arrive Sunday
morning before many Omaha people are
out of bed. When the first train arrives
in the railroad yards there will Issue from
one of the yellow sleeping cars a gang
of men armed with small bundles of steel
pins, such as surveyors use. These men
will "lay out" the show. The superintend
ent determines Just where to plnce the
menagerie tent, the side show tent and the
big circus amphitheater, or "big top." He
tells his Immediate "marker" to place a
pin here. It has a red tag tied to the end
of It. Tbe tape' measure marks 435 feet,
and another pin Is thrust into the ground.
The distance between the two marks the
length and direction of the "big top."
Other pins with similar colored rage at
tached soon show the width of the great
tent, and white tipped ones mark the places
where the great center poles are to stand.
It has taken . five minutes. Meantime
other men have laid out the ground for
the menagerie, tent, the side show, the
horse tents, blacksmith and carpenter
shops, wardrobe tents and the various other
small canvases that go to make up a com
plete and Independent little city ' whose
population Is more than 1.000 people-.
The first train hasn't been In more than
twenty minutes. The doors of the horse and
elephant cars have been opened and from
them have Issued 600 head of horses. A
herd of thirty big and little elephants have
been unloaded from their cars.
The first wagon unloaded Is tbe range
wagon and Its fires are alight, ready to
cook a breakfast for 600 working men al
most by the time tbey shall have ar
rived at the lot. Other wagons are hauled
out until within fifteen minutes tbe train
has been unloaded. Thirty minutes have
elapsed and a puffing, panting locomotive
draws into the yards the second section.
In twenty minutes it Is unloaded and on
the way to the grounds.
The canvas wagons and pole trucks were
on the first cectlon and are already at the
lot. Hundreds of muscular hands unload
them, and almost before It ran be seen the
huge roll of canvas ascends higher and
higher until It reaches tbe tops of the
center poles. Side poles are thrust In place
by a bundrd men and In a marvelously
short space of time the great canvas is
made fast all around the side, the walls
are hung and so far as outward appear
ances go, it Is complete.
Within the space of sn hour and a half
the big Bhow has arrived. Its cars have
been unloaded so systematically and so
speedily that it seems like play. IU tents
have been erected like magic and through
out the entire time not a harsh command
has been uttered by anyone.
