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.

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."

Denouncing- the Coarse of

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. Singleton
for representative.

NONUNION MEN LEAVE SHOPS
Guards Ont Trying to Ronnd Up a Large
"Liberty Partj."
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.

George Craig, assistant city engineer, has
upou his desk a sample of coal mined In the
state of Nebraska In tbe first mice in this

veloping coal In any quantity.
This mine Is at Jackson, Neb., on prop

tities. The property has been thoroughly
prospected and has shown a three and one-half-foot
vein near the surface and a four
foot vein about twenty' feet farther down.
The surface vein grades about with the
Iowa coal, but tbe lower vein is said to
yield the best quality of soft coal. Nine
tons were taken out of th mine yesterday
and work will be continued.

BRIDGE OVER TRACKS ALSO FINISHED
Other Improvements In Northwestern
Part of City superintendent Mo
Lean Anticipates Shifting; gome
School Teachers.
The Glkborn roundhouse, which has been
In course of construction fov several
months, was completed yesterday. The
house Is constructed of brlrk and slouo
and is a very substantial building. Twelve
stalls for engines are provided, and rail
road men say that the roundhouse Is one of
the best recently erected In this section of
the country. This building wss put up In
conjunction with the Improvements which
have been going on In tho northwestern
part of the city for over a year and a half.
The big steel bridge over the Belt lice,
Elkhorn and Illinois Central tracks at
Thirty-second and C streets has been com
rlcted. This line, when completed, will. '
Is understood, be used by the Vnion I',
cltlc fast trains, thus saving the run io
South Omaha and Gilmore on the WAy to
Fremont.
Another Improvement in this section of
the city Just completed Is the viaduct over
the tracks at Thirty-sixth streets. This Is
tbe county road and the Gllthorn has been
over a year building this bridge. There
wee conbtderable delay In securing ma
terial, and wet weather this year kept the
workmen back. Tbe bridge will be opened
to traffic within a few days. Only a little
work to the approaches nerds to be done,
snd unless there Is a heavy rain the work
can be completed thla week.
May Change Teachers.
Superintendent McLean spent a portion
of yesterday Investigating the recent
trouble at Lowell school. While he de
clined to make sny statement for publica
tion. It Is understood that the superintend
ent contemplates making a number of
changes In teachers very soon. While
ome teachers employed by the board are
reported to be able to handle children In a
certain locality others placed In the same
position merely breed disturbance and
cause continual trouble. It has therefore
been deemed advisable by the superintend
ent to do some shifting of teachers In or
der that better order and harmony may
prevail.
That Pile Driver.
About two weeks ago a huge plledrlver
was unloaded at tbe east entrance to the
stock yards, and although the machine
has been placed in position no attempt has
been mad to commence work of any kind.
It was reported at the time the machine
arrived that it would be used to drive pile
for a foundation for an elevator where
corn for the use of the stock yards com
pany could be stored. Chief Engineer
King is on the sick list, and it may be that
his illness has caused a delay In the com
mencement of operations.
Modern Brotherhood Meeting.
A meeting of the Modern Brotherhood of
America will be held at the hall over tha
South Omaha National bank on Friday night.
Every member Is urged to attend, as Cap
tain James Austin will give a report of the
recent state convention of the order held at
Pender, Neb. At this convention delegates
were selected to attend the national con
vention, which will be held next month.
Slowing- Buying; Coal.
Local coal dealers say that residents are
slow this season in laying In their winter
supply of coal. While a great many ordera
bav been placed, many of those who are
accustomed to use large quantities of an
thracite coal are holding off ordering tn
hopes that th price may drop. Some who
are using bard coal furnaces expect to burn
seml-anthraclte coal unless the price of bard
coal comes down before cold weather. There
is, however, at this time a lively demand
for bituminous coal.

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. I have now been a well and happy woman
for over a year, thanks to Wine of Cardui.
IT is little wonder Miss St. Elmore
was discouraged in the sarch for
health. There is hardly a physi
cian who would hesitate to call snch
a case chronic and incurable. But
Wine of Cardui has cured thousands
of such cases. To cure sickness of
seven years' standing tbe treatment
must be thorough. Wine of Cardui,
to regulate the menstrual flow, be
gins at the fundamental principle
that of allowing the poisonous waste
to le discharged naturally and health'
fully. This removes all irritation
and inflammation. Wine of Cardui
brings relief as a mild aid to Nature
in removing the causes of sickness.
The proper flow of tbe menses re
lieves the blood of impurities and
allows pure blood to build up and
strengthen the afflicted organs and

Election of Officers for Island to Be Held on.

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.
Most of the trouble occurs in interior
towns, whore tbe people have little else
to do except to dabble In politics, and so
everybody hi a politician. Th recent dis
turbances ft Humacao Cayey and Juncos
acre only tbe result of abnormally devel
oped feeling of intolerance. In certain
dlstrlcu the police have openly proselyted
for one slda or th other, until brought
severely to task by th higher officials, and

John D. Rockefeller's Residence.
TARRYTOWN. N. Y., Sept. 17. The resi
dence of John D. Rockefeller, at Pocantlco
Hills, Westchester county, waa destroyed
by fire tonight. The fire Is supposed to
have started from crossed electric wires.
Tbe house stood on the top of a hill about
00 feet above tbe level of the Hudson
river, overlooking the country for miles tn
every direction. None of the family was at
home and tbe blaze was discovered by
some of the servants about the place. The
fire departments of North Tarrytown and
Tarrytown responded to telephone calls,
but lack of water prevented the building
from being saved. The firemen and ser
vants succeeded in . getting out a great
portion of the valuable furniture. The es
timated loss Is 40,000. Tbe burned build
ing was a substantial structure, though
built many years ago. It was occupied by
the Rockefellers pending the erection ot
the manor house whlcn Mr. Rockefeller
hss been planning to build nearby.
