TOUR PULL OFF IN SOUTH OMAHA ALONE Printing; Committer Arramri Form of k Official Itallat with AntU Mereer Tickets la the Plrat Colama. South Omaha waa In evidence before the printing committee of the republican county j rommltte yesterday morning. When th . commlttea met to prepare the balloti for the primary to be held Friday three of the men who bad been selected by the Mercer forces I for delegates to the county convention and I one who hsd been selected for delegate to 1 the congressional convention declined to j rua. These men were (lust, Hedgren from tha congressional delrga'lon and W. A. Kltibcrger. J. Williams and J. Dworak from the county delegation. Their resignations were accepted, and upon motion of Joseph Koutsky their names were omitted from the ballot. The declination of Joseph Chrlstensen was received, be refusing to serve on the Mercer county delegation In the Sixth ward. and the resignation of Charles F. Johnson, a delegate from the Fifth ward, was also ' received. In both canes It was decided not to place the names on the tickets. ; The question of the arrangement of the J tickets on the ballot was then considered. John l Fierce moved that the Mercer dele- Rations be placed In the left-hand column ; on all ballots In each ward and precinct in tha county. Harry Zlmman moved an amendment to the effect that the preferred position bw given to delegations, Mercer or anti-Mercer, according to the time of their filing. The champions of Mr. Mercer pres ent at the committee meeting objected to this, as Mercer's delegations had all been Died with T. W. Blackburn Monday and ! were not filed with the county committee until Just before noon Tuesday. Finally Joseph Koutsky moved that In every case the anti-Mercer delegation be placed In the left-band column and this amendment pre vailed by a vote of two to one. It was then decided that all names appear on the ticket In alphabetical order and that a mark In the circle to the right of the delegation would vote for all of the names on that delegation. The Weekly Independ nt was awarded the printing of the ballots of South Omaha and the Omaha Printing company those for the city and county out side of South Omaha. Tha secretary was ordered to prepare the ballots In the order named and the printing committee adjourned until 4 o'clock In the ! afternoon to approve the copy before It Is sent to the printer. Charles W. Fear, a printer employed by the Dally News and a man wldey and fa vorably known In union labor circles, is the latest candidate to enter the lists in the Eighth ward. Mr. Fear has been out of the city on a short vacation and when be re turned announced bis candidacy for repre sentative la the lejlslfttyr". The "nnminrr raeot has been given favorable reception, as th candidate has a host of warm friends la hla home ward. Th fortunes of his can didacy have been cast with the anti-Mercer delegation, as has that of Van B. Lady, the ward's other candidate for the house. Mr. Lady Is with the Bankers Reserve Life com pany, and aside from a high standing In business circles he enjoys wide popularity with th republican voters of his ward. Another Eighth ward candidate whose for tune rest with the anti-Mercer delegation Is Georg F, Munro, who aspires to the state senate. Mr. Munro is a well known grocer and ha taken an active part In the battles of th republican party for years. H had tb support of his ward for the nom ination for county commissioner last year, whon ther was soma doubt as to which district was to tlect a member, and he will doubtless bav It thla year for the senate. Candidal for the republican nomination for county attorney ar plenty, and the fact that all but one of them have alighned themselves with the anti-Mercer forces Is anothsr Indication that the nonresident con gressman la not very generally credited with th strength necessary to win out at the primaries. A. W. Jefferls of the Eighth ward Is the only aspirant to the county at torney' office who has gone In with the Mercer outfit, and he long ago forfeited any claim that he ever may have had on the reg ular republicans of the county. Aside from Jefferls, th candldatea are Jacob L. Kaley of th Fourth ward, C. W. DeLamatre of the Fifth and B. F. Thomas of the Seventh, all of whom are against the renomlnatlon of the nonresident candidate for congress and therefor opposed to th Mercer dele gation for tha county convention. Every ward yln the city, with the excep tion of the First, has from one to tour can dldatea for tha house of representatives. In th Second ward S. A. Corneer and Fred Behm appear: ip th Fourth Charles P. Tuttle, tha well known lawyer. Is a candidate; In th Fifth George Redman come up with th endorsement of the ward club;, In tb Sixth W. R. Homan. Charles H. Lear and Herman Tlmme ar In the field; th Seventh presents F. O. Davie, the Eighth Charlea W. Fear and Van B. Lady and the Ninth B. M. Mobsman, Jr., and W. A. Oardlner. " . For th senate Oeorge A. Mead of the Third, L. N. Gonden and J. A. Sunderland of th Seventh, George F. Munro of the Eighth and M. A. Hall of the Ninth are in th running. All of these are understood to be anti-Mercer candidates, and then there is Charlea L. Saunders, a Mercerlte, la th Fifth ward. B. D. Evans of th Sixth and George B. Eddy and William Arnold of the Fifth ward ar candidate for county commissioner In th Fifth commissioner district.

For further luformatiea call at r Address Hock Island System City Ticket Otnee. 1323 mUU STREET, DIUH! the renomlnatlon of Congressman Mercer, and the placing of two delegate tickets for each the congressional, county and Judicial conventions In every ward but the Ninth, the county committee comee In for a nice windfall. There are 20 candidates for county delegates, 155 for congressional delegates and f4 for Judicial delegates In Omaha and South Omaha, and a tiling fee of 12.00 had to be paid to the county com mittee for each one of these. Th total of 415 delegates filings therefore put Into the coffers of the committee the neat sum of 130. The expense of the prlmarlea, nine In Omaha and one In South Omaha, will hardly exceed 1250. Eighty-seven members strong, the North Side Second Wsrd Republican club sprang Into being last night in Mlnlcus hall, at Twentieth and Pierce streets, and on the tanner which It flung to the political breeie were emblazoned the anti-Mercer delegations from that ward. Auspicious in Its Inclplency from the fact of its large charter enrollment, the club further proved Its passage under a lucky star by holding ss an Initial meeting one of the moat rousing political gatherings ever known In the Second ward. Organization waa the first order of business and John C. Lynch was elected president by acclama tion. In response Mr. Lynch said: "This Is an honor totally unexpected by me, but I assure you that fo be elected to the presidency of a club destined to wield such a strong Influence In the republican politics of this ward Is the proudest achieve ment of my life. I do not deserve this of fice when our membership list contains names of so many men more worthy than I, yet slnte it is your wish I accept It." William Westorgard waa made secretary of the club and Michael Mlnlcus treasurer. Resolutions were passed endorsing the antl Mcrcer congressional delegation from the Second ward, man by man. President Lynch then called upon E. J. Cornish, can didate for congress. Mr. Cornish spoke for half an hour, being frequently Interrupted by cheers. He recalled the events of his eighteen years in political life here, which Justified his asking for the coming nomina tion. He expounded the principles of the republican party In which he believed. A large crowd was present when Chair man Turner called to order the meeting of the West 81de Republican club at Fortieth and Leavenworth streets last night. Party members from the Seventh and Ninth wards vtere there In Joint session. Congressman Mercer had been Invited to attend and speak, but found It Impossible to appear In the ward from which he only has a dele gation on county and congressional tickets. Congressional candidate John P. Breen, however, was present and made a stirring speech on national topics, not Italicising his own candidacy till near the close. Other speakers were Candidates Robertson and Davlee for the state legislature, John F. Stout and Ed Morlarty. At the meeting of the Fifth Ward club last night addresses were mad by C. W. DeLamater, candidate for county attorney; L. D. Holmes, candidate for district Judge, and J. B. Bruner, candidate for assessor. There waa no club business transacted. Dr. J. C. Mocre of the Fifth ward Is an other man whoso name has been used with out authority by the Mercer managers. The doctor's name has been put on the Mercer delegate ticket In the Fifth without hla con sent To a Be reporter yesterday Mr. Moore said: "I am entirely out of politics and I do not want my nam to appear on any ticket The Mercer people asked me to go on their ticket in this ward and I told them plainly that I would not consent to It The first I knew of the use of my name was when I saw It published In the newspapers. I am not a candidate and if I am elected as a delegate to the congressional convention I will refuse to serve." WILL HAVE NONE OF MERCER Colored Mem Atsla Adopt Resolutions Denouncing- the Coarse of Their Enemy. Th colored Douglas County Republican Central league held a stormy meeting last night In its hall at Twentieth and Cuming streets. After a few Mercerltes had at tempted to turn the meeting in favor of that candidate, the following resolution was Introduced by J. O. Pegg and carried; We, the members of the Douglas County Republican Central league, realise that our constitution provides that we shall not en dorse any candidate, but does not prevent us from condemning anyone who has of fered an Insult to our race. Therefore we do hereby and herein declare that David H. Mercer has Insulted our people In the past; first, by refusing to give us any rec ognition; second, by refusing to appoint any representative of our race; third, by refusing to come to any of our meetings Riven in the interest of our r-. and when Tom Johnson and Olle Ja. n went to see him In reference to the appointment of Dr. Rlcketts by saying. "Tom, that's too big a Job for a nlarger." He It resolved. That this resolution be signed by the president and secretary and published In the papers of the city. The meeting endorsed M. F.

INJUNCTION WORKS IN TWO WAYS Danger of Interference from Strikers Ilclnsr Removed Dissatisfied Work ers Take Occasion to De sert the Company. The Union Pacific's Injunction which Judge McPherson of Iowa Issued at the be hest of Attorney John N. Baldwin against the strikers Is working with a reflex ac tion. While it has had some effect In con firming the conservative policy promulgated by the leaders of the strike, It hss Imposed a hardship upon the company In causing a serious defection among the nonunion forces In the Omaha shops. A large number of these men left the shops yesterday morn ing, some reports say forty, as an Indirect result of this Injunction. This will con tinue the necessity of hiring more men to keep up the quota in the shops. One of the men who left the shops said: .Since we heard of the Injunction being Is sued we have felt a greater security In leaving the works. - We naturally sup posed that If there was any dacger of vio lence at the hands of the strikers, this restraining order would have a tendency to suppress that and enable us to get out of the shops and the city, if we desired, with out being molested. As a matter of fact there are a great many men in th shops who sympathize with the strikers and would have gladly left long before had they not been led to believe that In doing so they were taking a hazardous step." The desertions have caused considerable excitement at the shops. The men left, supposedly to spend a few hours over In the city and return, but they failed to re turn and guards were detailed to searcn for them. Lesson of the Tragedy. Strike leaders have been taught a valu able lesson by the tragedy of Sunday morn ing. While the responsibility for the mur der of Earl Caldwell haa not been laid at the door of any striker, tho fact that It was committed on the picket lines and that several strikers were witnesses to it, one and perhaps another being Incidentally In volved In the general fight out of which th tragedy arose, has had a temporizing Influence. The picket forces have been thoroughly reorganized and from now on this work will . be conducted with better system and more precaution than before. It will bo the purpose to place men of tried Judgment and character In charge of the pickets and dispense with minors for this work. As has been stated on previous occa sions Mike Spellman, one of the men whom Mordlca W. Ball charges as his as sailants, on the fatal night, was lieutenant of a squad of pickets and was specifically charged with responslt illty for the conduct of the men under him. The fact that Spell man neglected his duty In this direction and became a party to the assault of which he Is accused, has brought upon him loud and severe censure from the strikers and confirmed the leaders In their determina tion to select sober and reliable men for these positions hereafter. It will be the purpose of the strikers to maintain their picket lines Just as they did before the Injunction was served on them and to prosecute this work with more vigi lance and precaution than ever. They stilt Insist on being within tbelr rights in pur suing this course. "The men ought to be. careful to obey very order of. tb police and do. nothing to court or Incur trouble," said. Vice Pres ident Conlon of the machinists. "We are not looking for trouble. We want to con form with th law in all respects and will discountenance its violation by any of our men." Aid for th Strikers. Conlon and William Rlcbllieu went to Missouri Valley Tuesday night, where they held a meeting and secured a generous do nation from a larg and enthusiastic crowd of worklngmen. Th big mass meeting In Washington hall Monday night Is consuming time and interest here. The prime object of the meeting Is to expose tb Issues between the Union Pacific and its men In their true- light. The principle of injunctions will be discussed and prominent citizens will be In vited to participate In this debate. Vice Presidents Conlon, Mulberry and WUson of the International Association of Machinists John McNeil, president of the International Brotherhood of Boiler Makers, and R. B Kerr, secretary of the same organisation, will speak. Harry McVea, president of Cen tral Labor union, will act as chairman of the meeting. Special invitations have been sent to the varioua commercial organlza Hons of th city to have representative at the meeting. Jack McKenna, a Union Pacific machinist who enjoys some local distinction as a comedian, is the victim of an unfortunate confusion in some quarters with the Jack McKenna who was arrested In connection with the Earl Caldwell murder. His friends, who ar numerous, are desirous that every effort should be made to dispel this delusion. Jack McKenna, the ma chlniet, la perhaps as well known and popu lar a Union Paclflo shopman as there is on the system and enjoys an enviable reputa tion among all his fellows. As has been stated in The Bee, he waa not near the tragedy Sunday morning and had nothing whatever to do with It. Amusements. Musical Festival. Miss Helen Hoagland of thla city was the star of the musical festival last night which, by ths way, waa the closing of the regular season. 'Miss Hoagland, who Is the possessor of a remarkably toned and highly cultivated contralto voice, ssng the solo "Rltorna Vlncltor" from Verdl'a "Alda" with such splendid effect that the long-con tlnucd applause could be stopped only by the singer granting an encore number, for which she hspptly selected Landoa Ronald' "The Rosy Morn." Miss Hoagland, aside from being given an ovation of applause was made tbe recipient of many handsome bouquets. The lsst of the concerts by the Royal Italian band will be given this afternoon and evening, and are supplementary to tbe regular season, passes and book tickets not being acceptable. Tha regular meeting of the Ninth Ward Republican club will be held this (Thursday) evening, September 18, at S o'clock at ths club rooms, 28U Farnam street. All csndi dates cordially invited. C. 8.

Supreme Organizer Ladies of Honor. 1825 Vincwood Avenue, Pktroit, Mich., Feb. IS, 1P02. For sewn years I did not know what it was to be well. At that lime I slipped and fell, straining myself inwardly. I paid little attention to it at first, but soon I found that I had habitual backache and a peculiar sick feeling at my stomach. The right side of my bowels ached and if I was on my feet a couple of hours at a time I would pive out completely. I began coughing and thought I waa getting consumption but the doctor told me this was on ac count of my weak condition, that I was in reality troubled with falling of the womb. My menstruation was very irregular. Some times it would stop for two or three months and again I flowed so much there was danger I would flow to death. I now became con vinced that the doctors could not help me and as I saw an adver tisement of your Wine of Cardul I decided to try it. It brought me quick relief, the nausea stopped, my apjtetite improved, gradually my pains stopped and I felt how my entire system was being renewed.

Novembsr 14. PARTIES ARE REPUBLICAN AND FEDERAL Partisan Feellna; Haas Hlh aud Al most Any 'Advantage on Rlther aide Is Considered Perfectly Honorable and Fair. SAN JUAN. Porto Rico, Sept. 10. (Corre- spondent ot the Associated Press.) On No vember 4 will be held an election covering the entire Island, at which time a resident commissioner to th United States, five delegates from each legislative district, a mayor for each municipal district, one municipal judge, three school trustees and members of the council will be chosen. In Ban Juan two municipal Judges and two substitutes will be voted for. While the campaign has not fully opened, yet tbe first few meetings have been thea trical. The Porto RIcan Is a good citizen, he generally minds his own business and be lieves in tha adage, "Live and let live," until it comes to politics. Then ther are no half way measures. If you are on the opposite side, whatever that may be, your opponent considers that you are not en titled to live and that you bav lost claim to respectability because you do not believe as be does. This being the case with on faction and tho other it will be readily seen that when Greek meets Greek there is bound to b results of tbe Donnybrook species more or less. Two Leading; Parties, Thus far few meetings have been held which have not ended with a few broken heads and the grave charge has been made that the police were not the least active in either precipitating or lending passive encouragement to one or the Other faction. Today in Porto Rico there are strictly speaking, two parties. The republican party, now In power, and tha American fed eration. Another party has sprung up In the laat few weeks which styles itself union ist. Its platform Is Utopian to such an ex tent that it la not being considered serious by tbe other two. Two years ago the federals cast no vote at all, claiming that It would be useless to go to the poles, aa the republicans would count them out. Tbe federals are going to the polls this year and are going to see that their votes are counted as cast. In this determination they have the endorse ment of the governor, who hss declared that a fair election must be held, whatever th result. People All Politicians.
