October 1, Kllh Bryan
aa Star Speaker.
Three 4-sndldstes for the republican nom
ination for Judge of the Fourth Judicial
district are making a ranvaas of the dele
gates choeen for the convention, which will
be held Saturday. The result of the pri
mary, it la aald, eliminates some of those
who were candidates and it la generally be
lieved that the only names that will go be
fore the convention are those of George A.
Day, J. H. Blair and A. C. Troup. It la
conceded that Mr. Troup will have the dele
gatlona from the First and Second wards,
that Mr. Blair will have those from the
Third, Sixth and Eighth wards and that Mr.
Day will have those from the Fourth, Fifth
and Seventh wards. Judge Blair alao claims
those from 8outh Omaha, Florence ant
Dundee and it Is believed that he will have
all or most of them. The delegation from
the Ninth ward la said to be divided be
tween Mr. Blair and Mr. Dav, one of the
delegates absolutely refusing to promise
any candidate. If this report Is correct
none of the candidates will command
strength enough to secure nomination on
the Drat ballot with the delegates from
Douglas county, as the county delegates,
of whom there la one from each precinct,
are said to be divided between the several
candidates. All the candidates are work
lag for the delegates from Sarpy, Burt and
Washington counties, hut residents of those
counties say that aa the Judge Is to come
from Douglas county the delegates will pre
fer to have Douglas county settle upon a
candidate.
At democratic headquarters It was an
nounced that the state campaign In behalf
of the fusion nominees would open In ear
nest October 1. After that date a large
number of speakers will be placed In the
Held and their efforts will be supplemented
by W. J. Bryan. Mr Bryan Is billed to
peak In Missouri this week and Is expected
to return to Nebraska after that time. He
will begin the state campaign October 8
nd It la aald will continue in the field until
lection day. He haa been assigned dates
until October 18 and other datea will bs
given him aa the campaign develops.
The fusion forces are counting much upon
the return of the gold standard democrats
to the told. It Is rumored that a number
of the men who refused to vote for Brysn
as candidate for president will come from
the eastern states to give aid and comfort
to the fualon forces In Nebraska this year
and to line up the sound money democrats
of the state In favor of the nominees of the
aemocraliti parly.
The members of the Sixth Ward Repub
lican club are discussing the advisability of
suspending meetings for a week or two,
The excuse for this suspension Is the Ak-Bar-Ben
carnival. It Is certain that no
meeting will be held one week from Friday
and perhaps none will be held this week.
Further announcement will be made on this
subject.
So far the executive committee of the peo
ple's independent party and 'the committee
of the democratic party have failed to get
together on the fusion ticket, which la to
be remodeled If the plana of the populists
prevail. An urgent invitation haa been ex
tended to Peter Hofeldt to resign aa the
democratic nominee for county commis
sioner from the country district In order to
permit tho substitution of the populist
nominee. There is no way In which the va
cancy demanded by the populists can be
made unless Mr. Hofeldt steps down and
out. Thla he haa so far declined to do. and
the chances for a three-cornered fight In
that district, with the certain election of
the republican candidate, la bright. In the
event that the democrats cannot substitute
the populist for Mr. Hofeldt there Is a
probability that the populists will nominate
a complete legislative ticket. Under the
power conferred upon the committee by the
convention it "cannot endorse the demo
cratic nomlneea unless those nominees en
dorse the local platform and Mr. Hofeldt
withdraws. They can, however. Oil vacan
cies, and there are several on the ticket,
left there to provide places for the demo
crats. RECEPTION TO THEIR PRIEST

WHEAT GREAT MIDWEST crop
Klasr t erm May Re Dethroned and the
Other Cereal Helen la Its
Stead.'
OMAHA, Sept. 24 To the Editor of The
Bee: From year to year, It Is being demon
strated, that Nebraska la In fact, though
not formerly recognized as such, a winter
wheat state. In the August (1902) report
of the Department cf Agriculture, at Wash
ington, showing the estimated average yield
per acre In the principal states, arranged
In the order of acreage, as follows:
Kansas, 8.7; Missouri, 18.12; California,
15; Indiana, 15; Ohio, 16; Illinois. 16; Ne
braska, 22; Pennsylvania, 15; Oklahoma,
11.6; Michigan. 17.4.
That the above report of the average
yield per acre, ao far as Nebraska at least
Is concerned, Is conservatively correct. Is
shown by the statistician of the Nebraska
Grain Dealprs' association. In his crop re
port. No. 10, Issued September 20, 1902.
showing the following results, that were
obtained from replies received from 500
well-distributed correspondents, who are
country grain dealers in Nebraaka. This
shows the average yield per acre. In eaat
ern Nebraska, of winter wheat, to be 24;
In central Nebraska. 24.5, and In western
Nebraska of 81 bushels, there being 1,603.-
6f8 acrea, with an average yield of 23
per acre, making the yield of winter wheat
In the state, 44,735.963 bushels.
This authority also shows 633.(71 acres
to have been in spring wheat, yielding 12
bushels per acre) 1,670,599 acres of oats,
yielding 35 bushels per Sere; 443,015 acres
In rye, yielding 19 bushels per acre. Mr.
Bewsher, the statistician and aecretary of
the association, under the head of "Re
marks," gives the following valuable and
pertinent advice and suggestions to the
grain dealers and farmers of Nebraska:
"I would respectfully call your attention
to the greatly Increased acreage of winter
wheat over that of the spring variety; thla
acreage la as 3 to 1 In favor of the winter,
while the aggregate yield In bushels la 64
to 1. It la clearly evident from thla that
It is decidedly In the Interest of both the
grain dealer and the farmer that winter
wheat be planted and encouraged wherever
the soil and climatic conditions will war
rant !t.'
The secretary of the Iowa Grain Deal
era' association, in a similar report, dated
September 1, 1902. gives the following av
erages per acre of the following crops for
1902 for the state of Iowa, towlt: Winter
wheat. 17.6; spring wheat. 15.8; oats, 82;
rye, 15; corn, J. The Nebraska report
does not give sn estimate on the present I
corn crop, but those who are in a position
to know declare that never In the history
of the state has there been such a crop
raised as Is about to be .harvested. The
early frosts have Injured It but little, and
in raci Hastened me maturing or the crop. I
i uib cauuui, we sre sorry 10 snow, do said
of some of the eastern "corn states," where
the frosts were so severe as to ruin it In
many localities.
When the farmers of the weat have mar
keted their enormoua wheat crop and fed
and sold their surplus cattle, eeino and
sheep they will be the real plutocrats, and
with money in their pockets, looking for
Investment, land values will advance aa
never before in the history of this coun
try. ' s.

PRESSURE OF STRIKE GIVEN AS CAUSE

Two of the oldest employes In the Union
Pacific shops have quit as an Indirect re
sult of the atrlke. They are Antone Bonnt
vier, assistant general foreman of the mo
tive power department, next In point of au
thority to General Foreman Turtle, and
James Holland, gang bnsa. Both men served
their apprenticeships In the local shops
and have been there almost continuously
since. It Is understood that Bonnlvler al
ready has another position In view, that of
representing some large steel firm In the
west.
It Is held that the stocking of the ahopa
with new and unskilled workmen led both
these men to resign. The pressure In this
line Is said to be very great on all the
foremen and great dissatisfaction la pre
vailing among them. One of the foremen
was heard to aay a few days ago: I II be
batty If this atrlke doss not end soon, for
I can't atand these new men much longer.
A relative of one of the men who quit
the local shops said that both men had
been asked to do certain finishing work
which none of the new force waa capable
of doing. They are said to have done the
work, but refused to keep on doing It.
Members of the machinists' executive
committee and other strike leaders sought
opportunltlea yesterday to deny state
ments made at headquartera and pub

COMPLAINT ABOUT COLD SCHOOL ROOMS
Several Cases of Pneumonia Are Said
to Have Been Caused by Absence
of Heat In Public
Schools.
Hairing the special meeting called for
the purpose of considering the project of
establishing a new process tannery in
South Omaha, there haa not been a meet
ing of the Commercial club for so long
that the exact date seems to be forgotten.
In fact, the present outh Omaha Com
mercial club seems to.Jiave suddenly aban
doned all the schemes which It had afloat
and is no longer ho)d)vg meetings or oth
erwise interesting Itself with the affairs of
the olty. . t
It aeems extremely doubtful whether the
Commercial club will be in existence this
winter. Since the time of the organisa
tion of the present board there has beon
but one or two meetings. Many of the for
mer influential members of the club stale
that so little Interest was displayed In the
organization by the taxpayers of the city,
and that tt waa ao hard to get together a
necessary quorum to talk over the needs
of the city, that the promoters of the club
have grown more or less disheartened and
want some one else to attempt to boom
the move.
An Interview waa Bought from Secretary
H. M. Christie yesterday afternoon In re
gard to the doings ot the club, but Mr.
Christie's mind seemed to be centered on
the condition of the weather and other
toplca quite foreign to matters pertaining
to the club and lta existence. He stated
that he did not care to be interviewed,
and expressed a surprising amount of Ig
norance as to Just what the club proposed
to do.
The proposition some time ago advanced
to combine the Commercial club organisa
tion with the different improvement cluba
of the city may yet be carried out. as it
aeems a foregone conclusion that the Com
mercial club Intends to do little or noth
ing during the coming winter months.
Demand Better Heat.
The complaint now going on over the
fact that there la so little effort being made
to heat the different school rooms of the
city seems to grow day by day. The cause
of the Increase of protests against the un
comfortable condition of the schoola la the
fact that within the past week three cases
of pneumonia have been reported among
achool children, and the attending physi
cians state there Is little room for dcubt
that the trouble started In the damp, cold
chool room. Th n.H c-.,..i
... ,. ,., . ,
statea that It will hold a meeting to look
Into thla matter and other troublea in the
schools.
Mercer Has Not Appeared.
There Is but little or no cbsnge apparent
at the packing houses. The work that has
been kept up for some time to Invoice the
stocks on hand la being leisurely completed.
but the aame old systems, both aa to office
and outalde work, atill prevail. The offi
cials of the different plants atlll claim that
they are wholly unaware of any contem
plated change on the part of the packing
house management. It waa stated yester
day, however, that the Invoice being taken
would be completed by the end of the
present week.
May Deride at Election.
W. C. Lambert, general attorney for the
new independent telephone company or
ganized in South Omaha, stated yesterday
evening that in the event the city council
did not grant the franchise asked by the
company he represents, that It was the
Intention of the new company to submit
the question to the voters of South Omaha
at this fall's general election. He stated
that he had no idea what action the coun
cil would take In regard to the application,
but said that he felt confident that the fran
chise could be obtained by submitting it
to a vote, aa la provided by the charter of
the city. la the event ot an election on
that question, the new company must
stand all expense connected with such
voting.

S per la I Council Meeting.
It is said that a call will be Usucd some
time this week for a epeclal meeting of
the city council. The statute provides that
certain election ofneers shall he appointed
by the council during the month ot Sep
tember and as the next regular meeting
of tho council does not come until October
6, It necessitates a special meeting for
that purpose. In all probability the call
will recite no further business to be ac
complished at such meeting.
Streets In Better Shape.
The street gang is rapidly filling up all
of the excavations caused by the recent
rains. On aome of the un paved streets
there existed aome very bad defects, but
these have nearly all been repaired. Extra
precautions are being taken to prevent dam
age claims arising from these conditions,
and the police are Instructed to imiedlately
report any defects found In either sidewalks
or streets.

CHICAGO. Sept. 24. The combination of
the great packing houses of the country
which has been under consideration and In
process of actual formation for the last
elx months has been abandoned, at least
for the present. Bays the Tribune.
The decision not to complete the com
bination la due in a large degree to the at
titude of tho national administration toward
trusts as outlined by President Roosevelt
In his recent speeches and to the possibil
ity' that in the event of a consolidation
congress might remove the tariff on cattle.
It was learned last night that a final
meeting of the heads of the firms known
as the big four packing houses in Chicago
had been held, at which it was agreed to
end all negotiations at once.
This was followed by an order Issued from
the office of Swift and Company that the
firm's employes should immediately discon
tinue the Inventory of property and stock
which had been ordered and started for the
purpose of tabulating a report of the finan
cial condition of tho company, which waa to
have been used as a baals of the division

INSURANCE MEN CONVENE
Address by John A. McCall of the New
York Life Is the Principal
Featare.
COLCMBUS, O.. Sept. 24. At today's
session of the state Insurance commis
sioners' convention, the report of the com
mittee on lews snd legislation . waa pre
sented by Hon. H. D. Appleton of New
York.
The lepuit, wLUli & adopted, trcbcdlcl
the resolution recommending legislation to
the effect that all deposits of Insurance
corporations held by fiscal offlc trt of any"
state should be for tho protection of all
policy holders excepting those held on ac
count of foreign corporatlona or ot other
countries, when they ahould be held for ton
protection of policy holders in the United
States only.
The report of the committee on unauthor
ized Insurance companlea was read by Hon.
J. V. Barry of Michigan. He submitted
a list of ninety-nine names of "wildcat",
companies collected by the committee from
the insurance department records of the ,
various states. It was decided to call the
roll of states In order that the commission
ers might have the opportunity to explain
the presence and operations of the question
able concerns in their respective Jurisdic
tions.
Tho whole matter waa laid over for the
day. A letter directed to the poatmaster
general was adopted anl ordered forwarded
to Washington. It requested that the postal
department exclude from the malls the
fraudulent matter aent y these com
panies aa advertising or solicitation.
This afternoon John A. McCall, president
of the New York Life Insurance company,
delivered an addrosa. He said:
When one contemplates the formidable
array of supervisory statutes and consid
ers how much more Is left to the discre
tion of Insurance officials In enforcing the
law, it requires some courage to declare
one'a faith In state supervision.
Notwithstanding the defects of state su
pervision, the expense and annoyance it Im
poses upon the companies and Its liability
to bo abused, I believe the evils of no su
pervision at all would be Infinitely greater.
The evils of supervision are such aa are
Inherent In all government; the evila ot
nonsupervlslon are the evlla of anarchy.
Human nature is the same or perhaps a
little more assertive when acting behind
the screen of a corporation as when act
ing on Individual responsibility.
It would appear that an amendment to
the constitution Is necessary to secure na
tional supervision and control of Insur
ance companlea. Pending such an amend
ment, It la suggested that the members of
this association should co-operate with the
commissioners of the several statea ap
pointed to secure uniform iawa for taxation
snd other purposes. In order that policy
holders may be protected against the crude
and oftentlmea destructive legislation pro
posed In some of the states.
The publlo of Itself, and without super
vision, is helpless with respect to rts equi
ties In life Insurance contracts, and worse
than helpless in respect of any quick test
ot solvency. The liabilities of a l'fe Insur
ance company are of aurh a character that
none but an expert mathematician can cal
culate them and chlelly so long deferred
that a company without supervision might
be hopelessly Insolvent for years and atlll
continue to pay all Its demand liabilities,
presenting to the public the appearance of
prosperity.
H. D. Appleton of New York presented,
the report of the committee on laws and,
legislation, and Hon. A. I. Vorys of Ohio,
the representative of the committee ou
fraternal Insurance. On recommendation of
the former committee, a resolution was
adopted declaring It to be the senss of the
convention that the laws of the various
atatea be amended so that all general de
posits of Insurance companlea held by fis
cal officers of any atate ahould be held for
the protection of all policy holders, except
ing those held on account of the foreign
corporatlona of other countries, when they
should be held for the protection of policy
holders in the United States alone.
