Last Klht.
No meeting of the present campaign baa
witnessed the wild scenes of enthusiasm
that marked the joint gathering of First
and Second warders In National ball at
Thirteenth and William streets last night.
When Mayor Moores, accompanied br City
Clerk Elbourn, entered the nail from a
Seventh ward meeting It waa past 10
o'clock and the 300 worklngmen, after their
day's labor and two hours of speechmaklng
were very tired. A abort time before they
bad risen to a pitch of great enthusiasm
when E. J. Cornish came into the ball, and
Mr. Cornish waa apeaklng when the mayor
arrived.
Aa the "grand old man of Omaha poll
tlca," as the First and Second ward voters
call blm, walked towards the stage pande
monlum reigned In the ball and voices,
feet and bands Joined In the nolse-maktng.
The speaker stopped short In the course of
bis Interrupted remarks and turning to
Mayor Moores said: "We are for him be
cause ws love blm; because we honor and
respect blm and because In this campaign
be Is standing on the highest and most
moral grounds that have ever been fought
for In a municipal campaign In. Omaha
the cause of the people, equdl taxation and
the same consideration for a poor man as
a rich man."
At this there was another period of deaf-
enlng .applause and the Interest and en
thusiasm of the audience never waned
through an extended account br the mavor
of the persecution and abuse to which ba
naa tieen subject.

Even for tbe demonstrative First and
Second, wards the meeting waa a record
breaker. The announcement' that Edward
Rosewater and E. J. Cornish were to speak
w an audience that filled the large hall.

Brunlng, W. H. Elbourn,' Harry B. Zlmman.
Georga T. Nicholson, Peter M. Back, Fred
Hoye, O. S. Huntington and Mike Lee and
Chairman Cowell of the city central com
mittee were called upon and made short
remarks. The aesslon did not end until 11
o'clock.'
Mr. Rosewater waa given an ovation as
ha stepped forward. He said that It la to
A remembered that a city cannot grow
I without furnishing employment to the work
llngmen who are the bone and sinew of the
Vly, and that It la tbe 12,000 worklngmen
of Omaha who make the city grow and
prosper. The battle Tuesday at the polls

Oolng to the basis of the entire effort
to poison the publlo mind against Moores.
the source can be traced to railway head
Jiuartera, according to Mr. Rosewater. Tba
falsehoods and slanders . concerning the
mayor bad originated thertt and also the
scheme that projected Benson forward as
the boom candidate for mayor.
It was tbe B. A M. general solicitor,
aald Mr. Rosewater, who, when the Bur
lington desired to block tba Northwestern's
proposed switching track Into the Jobbing
district, had aent a lawyer in bla office to
Mayor Moores with the proposition that
If be would favor the Burlington In the
light, that road would send blm to con
gress to replace Dave Mercer. The mayor
could not be bought, even by the offer of
such honors, and he remained true to the
people and to Omaha's Interest and favored
the track that broke the Burllnaton'a mo
nopoly en access to a large portion of the
wnoiesaie district.
Mr. Rosewater then dwelt on issues,
showing that the present struggle is
squarely between the corporations and the
people.- No charge of dishonesty or ex
, travagance that bad been proven baa been
brought against the present administra
tion, and the old charges that Moores had
liken money that was not his while clerk
ol the district court have been thoroughly
disproved snd the county found to be owing
Moores money. Instead of the reverse. The
antagonism of many of the large whole
sale bouses against both Moores and W. J.
Hunter, candidate for comptroller, Is be
cause tba last Board of Review assessed
the stocks of these bouses at aomethlng

proportion of their true value, as In years

was worth In Omaha last winter.. He had

"The republicans, for once at least, stand

nomlneea are anti-monopoly men. Today
the common laborer, the merchant, tba

they will be fairly treated If they behave,
but that they cannot rob the people first
and then debauch them with the money
they have taken.

Tbe address of Mr. Cornish waa ap-
nlauded heartily from start to nnlsn.
Aside from what be aald directly to the

Candidate for. Home Rule. .
Prank Moorti la the only candidate whose
interest and past record compel him to be
for home rule. He is the only one whose
personal antagonism, past record and seir
interest wouia coniDei mm w poo
ilclty to the conduct of the other members
of the board when they attempt to use
their powerful political club to Induce
voters of Omaha to vote In favor of cor
niinitu Intereata aa against the demands of
our people. When one saloon is cloed and
a neignuoring saioon iei uum in ururr vo
punlah the disobedient and enforce discip
line, he is the only candidate who would
give publicity to such conduct and al.ow
public sentiment 10 aname mo iujtn
n,t thrrvbv leaaen their effectiveness. I
care not that he has been gulity of rimilar
offenses, although there was this distinc
tion: He treated ail cmsens as men ana
said, "Come, boys, come " and they came
with a right good will. Tne present uuara
Ueats them as dogs and says, "t.'ome, you
curs, or be whipped," and they oame
growling and snarling.
But the complaints against Msyor
Moores' administration hr.vs been eonnned
almost entirely to his conduct as a member
of the Board of Fire and Police commis
sioners. The business part of his adminis
tration ha not been caueu into question 10
my knowledge. His attitude on the ques
tion of equal taxation has made that the
Issue. I consider it much to his advantage
that the change In tne personnel 01 tne
Board of Fire and Police commissioners,
by which he has become divested of con
trol, eliminates his past conduct on this
hoard from the issues of this campaign.
The new board has proved Itself to be own
tyrannical and unscrupulous man ne ever
dared to be, and Its Influence has been al
together In the interests or corporations
and against the people, wheress his In
fluence was used In the interest Of equal
taxation and of justice.
I What May Ba Ex pec teal.
If Ed Howell la elected mayor you will
have a Board of Fire and Police commis
sioners solidly corporation on local issues
and a majority democratic on national Is
sues, whipping a large class of voters Into
line sgaliibt the peopie and against the re
publican party. Who wants a class of our
Clttxene treated like curs to be coerced into
doing political services lor their masters f
Is that calculated to develop a reapect for
law and decency T Does it not lead these
tieoule to believe that public office la a prl
vale snan and Ilie right of franchise of
greatest value to barter away for the favor
tf officers or other reward: can a board
that la asking political favors from those
that come under Its regulation be fair ani
unbiased officer when these parties come
before them in an official capac.ty? Would
they not by wielding a cluo place tnem-
selves under fear of aclub7 Would they
not be aahamed to have the publlo know
from these men that they had granted
favora to them in order to gain their polit
ical asalstanceT Would nut this shame
maks them moral cowards and Inoabaul
tata them iroin property performing the

ally tend to a combination between tue
liquor and gambling Interests and the ror-

Interests of the ordinary citizen? No man
can trace the ultimate results of wrong:
hut be assured a corporation appo.n.el
Hoard of Fire and Police commissioners
forcing a combination between their own

merit of our city, cannot work otherwise
than evil to ail concerned. The railroad

Saloon keepers will find themselvea the
foot ball of politics, as they have ben
sinca tha new hoard tank control. The cltl-
xens generally will find a powerful or
ganised political force attached to no
fiarty, but working in all partus, interejiei
n no Issue except where they seek a reltlsh
advantage to their own personal interests
in those respects wherein tnir imerests ar
opposed to the ihterests of the community
at large. The only way to reduce this evil
to a minimum Is to elect Frank Moores
mayor. He will be powerless to oontrol the

Third Ward Bnthaslaam.
A rousing republican meeting with an at
tendance of about 200 waa held at Eagle
hall last night under tbe auspices of the
Third Ward Republican club. The meeting
waa full of enthusiasm from start to finish.
Tbe first speaker was Hon. B. J. Cornish.
He said: "From 1882 to 1887 I was a resi
dent and voter of the Third ward, and I
than learned to know that the Third ward
I always loyal to Ita friends and can ba
relied upon doing what it says it will do.
.The effort to stampede the Third ward from
Frank E. Moores is a futile effort, for the
colored voters of tbe Third ward have no
mora loyal friend than Frank E. Moorea.
Judge Rickey told me tha other day that
In no city in tha country are the colored
people treated more fairly than In Omaha,
and by no man better than by Frank E.
Moores. Mr. Moorea does not make any
distinction In his fair dealing with men,
be their akin black or white or .be they
poor or rich. His la a big generous heart
that Is always on tba aide of tbe oppressed
and lowly, and for tbls reason the Third
ward will roll up for blm one ot its old
time majorities..
"Frank Moores represents tbe best busi
ness Interests of tbe city, because ha la
the friend of tha masses and of the sub
stantial business Interests of the city that
constitute its business life and pay tbe
taxes for its maintenance. Al t mayor ba
baa been true and fair to all ot Omaha, and
pot of any special class. Because the cor
porations are ao bitterly fighting him Is
tha best assurance that they fear that they
cannot manipulate blm to tbelr own selfish
ends."
Weeorae) for the) Mayor. .
Mayor Moores waa tbe next speaker, and
as ba aacended tbe platform ba waa greeted
with thundering applause. He briefly re
ferred to tba bitter Cgbt made against blm
In the primary electiona and his vlctorv
over the corporations, and said In part: "It
waa tba money advanced by Walter Moise
at tbe instigation ot W. J. Broatch that
sought to buy sufficient delegates In that
convention to defeat me. Saloon men were
threatened -and coerced, and their' estab
lishments Closed because they would not
buy t,helr liquors from Walter Moise. Ev
ery expedient was resorted to by tbe legis
lature to defeat men and prevent my nomi
nation or re-election for a third term. No
mora bitter fight baa ever been waged
against any may than baa been waged
against me, but wa will win out after all.
"Had I been defeated for nomination In
that convention I would not have bolted,
but would bate atayed by the ticket. Not
satisfied with trying to legislate me out
of office, my enemies bad to Invoke a spe
cial aesslon of the supreme oourt during
recess to pass upon the motion to per
petuate tbe Fire and Police Board ot tbls
city. But let me say to you right here, I
am ready to take my medicine. I will go
into that board as Its legal chairman and
mayor and will aee that all men are treated
fairly. If one saloon la to be closed, all
will be closed. If I cannot do It out ot
eourt I will go Into court, and aee that all
men shall ba treated with perfect fairness
and equality.
Advice for tha Strikers.
"I bae always been a friend of organ
ised labor and the laboring man. In this
strike now apoa us there may ba cause for
uneasiness aad fear. Let me advise such
of you aa ara atrlksra to ba cool and keep
level beads. Do not congregate on tbe
atreet comers and talk boisterously.
cannot aay that I blame you for . asking
higher wsges. Tba price of food, fuel and
clothing has Increased, but wagea have
not. Keep cool, calm and collected. Tha
public ia with and aympathlxea with you.
but you can easily forfeit that sympathy
ey excesses." ,
The msyor closed bla address with eulo
gies upon every cendldate on the repub
llcan ticket and urged that every man of
them be voted for.
Short addresses were made by W. H. El
boura. candidate for city clerk; by Chair
man Cowell ot tha city oentral committee
and by Councllmanlc Candidatea H. B. Zlm
man, George T. Nicholson, Bryce Crawford
C. 8. Huntington and Fred Hoye. All the
candidatea were given a rousing welcome
and the meeting waa In all respects a most
satisfactory and enthuslastie one.
Fifth Ward Reaabllcaaa.
A large attendance gathered at the Fifth
ward republican meeting last night to
llataa to City Attorney W. J. CoaaaU aad
City Engineer Rosewater. Mr. Connell
spoke for a few minutes on the Issues of
the campaign and on party Integrity.
'When the nation elects a president,"
he ssld, "they Immediately acknowledge
hia position and stand and fall with him.
It should be ao, too, with a political party.
Wben a nomination is made the party
should unite and work as one. Make your
fight at the primaries and In the con
vention, but do not carry It beyond that.
The republican party Is a grand old party
and should not be guilty of splits In the
ticket after the nomination has onre been
decided. If the country would not support
a president after he was elected because
ot party strife, we would have anarchy.
So we too should abide by the decision ot
the majority.
There baa been a great deal of noise
about this split, but the effects ot It are
growing less and less day by day, and wa
think that there ia little algn of It now."
Spending- City Money.
Following Mr. Connell, Andrew Rosa-
water addressed tbe enthusiastic gather
ing and told In detail the story of the city
expenditure, showing conclusively thst but
$55,000 of the money expended was so spent
that any manipulation with It could ba
made, by tbe mayor, and then the mayor
la so hedged about that it would be Im
possible for him to appropriate It to his
own uses and purposes without tha knowl
edge and consent of tbe Board ot Publlo
Works and tbe couacll.
"Taking the city records," he declared,
"wa find that the most money ever raised
by tha city for city expenditure was In
1889 when W. J. Broatch was mayor of
Omaha. Then the total taxations yielded
'1984,000, and that was In a period ot de
pression and when the city was far less
wealthy and populous than it now la.
"As for this being a clean city or not a
clean city. It is tbe cleanest city of Its
site In tha country. No city can be so
governed that there Is no crime, no evil
In It. You cannot legislate against crim
inal Instincts and human passions. But
you can control them somewhat and this
Frank E. Moores baa done.
The club re-elected the officers of the
previous -year before the speeches of the
evening and passed a vote of thanks to
them for their conscientious and Inspirited
work during tbe year Just closed. The
officers are: W. B. Christie, president;
Charles Johnson, vice president; Paul B.
Seward, aecretary; Frank Dewey, treas
urer. Rally at Sbeeleytowa.
The republicans of Sheeleytown got to
gether last night for their second rally ot
the present campaign and it proved a
rousing good one With very good at
tendance. B. F. Thomas presided to in
troduce the various speakers. The cam
paign Issues and the general ground were
gone over very thoroughly by Hon. Jamea
Kyner, City Attorney W. J. Connell, Can
didate Fred Bruning and E. Rosewater.
Mr. Rosewater'a speech, dealing with the
right and liberty of the laboring man to
vote as his own conscience dictates, unln
tertered with, wilt be published In The
Sunday Bee.

LABORERS WANT THEIR PAY
Employes Petition to Have Indnatrlal

tary Bankrupt.
Tbe laborers In tbe employ of tbe Indus
trial Iron Works, located at Fourteenth
and Howard streeta, have filed a petition In
the United Statea district court asking that
the Industrial Iron Works be made an In
voluntary bankrupt. It seems that tba la

The Bulldoa: Stayed.
"I saw an English nobleman get tbe worst
of an argument In Naples not long ago,"
said George F. Washer of New York at tha
Hotel Burton.
"The funny part ot It was that my lord
thought he had carried bla point. He bad
taken passage on a railway train bound for
Rome and carried with him Into the flrst
clsss carriage one of tbe fiercest-looking
bulldogs I ever saw. One of the train of
ficials politely told the owner of the brute
that it was against regulations for animals
to ride In the passenger coaches.
1 'Very good, my man; take him out.
then,' aald the Englishman, grinning, and
dead sure the man wouldn't make the at
tempt. He didn't, either, but he played a
trick worth two ot that, tor in less than
no time the coach In which the aristocrat
from Albion was sested was detached, an
other was put in Its place and tbe train
steamed off, leaving Mr. Englishman and
his bulldog In the car all to themselves,
tba owner not getting on to tbe real situ
ation until the train waa well on Its way
to Rome." -Washington Post.

GOSSIP OF CITY CAMPAIGN
Bcasted "Ohio Virtue" of Candidate 8tnht
Appears in True Color.
FAILS TO TURN OVER CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Two Men Swear that Stunt Attempted
to Bribe Them to Commit Prr
Jory In Law Snlta In
District Court.
Councllmanio Candidate Ernest Stubt la
JUBt now posing as tbe champion of honest
municipal government and is making his
canvass on municipal ownership lines, pic
turing himself as a paragon of civic virtue.
But Stuht's record falls to inspire publlo
confidence.- Tble record . ia pretty well
known, but one ot the things In It has not
heretofore been given publicity. About ten
years ago Stubt was a republican and waa
treasurer of the republican city committee.
He bad control of the campaign finances
and failed to turn over to bla successor a
balance of $691.66 In cash. An itemlxed
record ot the receipts and expendlturea ot
Treasurer Stuht shows that the total sum
of $3,525 was placed in his hands, and tho
total disbursements were only $2,833.34,
leaving a balance of $691.66, which Stuht
never turned over to hit successor as treas
urer of tbe committee. .
Evidence of tbe Stubt brand ot clvio
virtue follows:-
John Morrissey, being first duly sworn,
deposes and says aa follows:
"At the time of the trial of the suit
brought by the Omaha Water company
against Ernest Stuht for stealing water, ana
while the trial waa in progress, the said
Prrnnsit stuht csme to me and asked me If I
knew any of the iurors on his case. I told
him po, but a party I was Just talking with
did know several ot them. He askea me 10
speak to blm and aee if they were all right.
told him I would and wouia lei mm nuuw.
saw Stuht later on and told him tbe party
said he could not do anything whoc-i
money. Stuht said: 'I will be C"wn to
morrow and let you have $20 to give mm
o have hl.n Induce them to bring in a
verdict to win the case for me (Stuht).'
Stuht came down as agreed upon and I
took the $20 which he gave me and gave
part of it to a friend of mine who was In
my shop at the time Stuht was talking to
me and who beard all tne conversation oe-
tween us. 1 did not use me money rur ms
purpose for which 8tuht gave It to me, but
I gkre him the impression mat 1 aid use
it for such purpose."

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
t,ife out of doors and out of the frames which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforta which they make, cornea the
greater part of that healthful development which ia ao essential to their
liappinesa when grown. When a laxative is needed the c.medy which Is
given to them to cleanse and aweeten and strengthen the internal organa
on which it acta, should be auch as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts nre known to be wholesome and th remedy itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,-well-informed,
approve and recommend and which the little one enjoy,
because of Its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and ita beneficial effects, is
Syrup of Figa and for the same reason it ia the only laxative which should
be used by fathera and mothers.
Syrtip of riga la tne only remedy which acta gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping, irritating, or nauaeating and which clcansea the
ayatem effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, arid against
wliich the children should be ao carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, atrong, healthy and happy, do not give
them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs
aaaiatance In the way of a laxative, give them only the aimple, pleaaant and
gentle Syrup of Figa.
Ita quality ia due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative princlplea of plants with pleasant aromatic ayrupa and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture and aa you value the health of
the little onea, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
ers eonietimea offer to incrcaae their profits. The genuine article may be

John Lynch, being first duly sworn, de
poses and tays as follows:
"During the trial of a suit brought by
John Drexel agiut Ernel Btubl for dam
ages tbe said Ernest Stuht came to the
Thurston hotel to. see me and asked me If I
had been at a political meeting that had
been held at a hall on South Thirteenth
street. I told Stuht that I bad not been at
the meeting referred to. Stuht then said:
'It makes no difference It you were not at
the meeting. I want you to awear that
you were at that meeting and that you
heard John Drexel say that I was a thtsf
and a robber. I also want you to find an
other man and tell him what to aay. I
want two good men to swear that Drexel
aald this, aa It will help ma out In my
suit. It you will do this for me and get
another man to do the same tbing, I will
pay you well for It and furnish tbe money
for doing it.' Stubt still urged me to do
this, but I refused and told him I could
not do such a thing."

The hand of tha corporation managers was
clearly apparent at a meeting at tha Del
lone hotel Friday. The aesslon was sup
posed to have been under the auspices ot
the Swedish-American Independent club,
but really it was organised and conducted
by the political managera ot tha railroads
and franchised corporations. It waa made
the occasion for the public "flop" of Wil
liam A. Paxton, who up to last night bad
been accounted among tha Benson support
ers. Paxton was one of the principal speak
ers at the Dellone hotel gathering and came
out plainly for Howell. Aa a matter of tact
he had been for Howell from the start, but
had lent his name to the Benaon boom for
tba purpose of giving Impetus to the move
ment of the republican bolters. Other
speakers at tba meeting were Frank Planek.
a discharged city hall messenger; Mr. SJo
bert, editor of a Lincoln paper; Ernest
Stubt apd Candidate Howell. Stuht orated
Wildly about hia "honesty," asserting re
peatedly that be waa tbe only honest man
In tbe city council at one time and boasting
01 ma virtues as a citizen of tbe antl-cor
poratlon stripe. Howell devoted most of
his speech to abusing everybody connected
with tha present city administration.
It appears from various reports that
Erastus A. Benson went on a proselyting
tour amog workmen in certain sections of
tbe city Friday In company with Henry
Knodel, who waa eloctod constable by the
republican party. It appears further that
Mr. Benson arrived at tbe Paxton A
Vlerllng Iron works, where aoma 150 mem
bers of organised labor earn their dally
bread. Tbe pop-rump candidate for mayor
went among tha men extending bla hand,
and, according to certain of the workmen, a
large proportion ot them declined to touch

FIRST TO PAY THEIR TAXES
John C. Wharton Settles Good tlscd
Bill and Councilman Haacall
Pays fl.8t.
John C. Wharton waa tbe first Omaban
to pay hia .1903 real , aetata taxes Into- the
city . treasury and Councilman Hascall was
the first to shove the money representing
bis personal taxea for tbe year aorosa the
counter. The collection of revenue began
at 11:45, unlooked for delays In cheeking
the tax lists having kept tbem In tbe tax
commissioner's office until that hour. Dur
ing tba morning tbe treasurer's offlee waa
thronged with small homo owners anxious
to give the city tbelr proportion toward ita
expenses.
City taxes for 190$ ara now due and mint
be paid before July 1, as on that data thoy
become delinquent and subject to Interest
at 1 per cent a month.
Mra. Mary O'Oorman was the aeeond to
aettla on real estate taxes. She paid pn
some $50,000 worth of property aa valued
by the tax commissioner, with a collection
of $20 gold pieces and greenbacks extracted
from two white handkerchiefs. Tha amount
she contributed to' the city wsa $438.5.
Last year it waa $567.90, or $129.84 mora
than before tbe recent fight for equal taxa
tion. Councilman Hascall'a personal tax waa
tst $1.81, aa against $1.60 paid last year.
Ha grinned cheerfully as he paid and aald
there waa no use In talking, "the tax fight,
had reduced the burdena of tha taxpayers."
But he said nothing about how he stood one
year ago thia aprlng, when the fight to
raise the corporation assessments waa
being made. . , .
Thia year tba levy rate Is 8.75 mills on
a full valuation, aa against 30 mills last
