Maaer ! C. f. Wright
lor City Attorney
To the Public: For the flrt time In
many rears of public service I am Impelled
la the Interest of truth to present a few
words to the taxpayers and citizens re
specting the expenditure of public money
and other facts bearing upon punlls af
fairs Statements are belns published In the
World-Herald and News and have been for
several years Just before public elections to
the effect that the city payrolls have been
and are padded for fraudulent election
purposes. These statements have sem
blance of truth, because they emauate from
the city comptroller. They are absolutely
false and without a foundation of truth.
Comptroller Weathers; made such state
ments three years ago, again two years ago,
last year, and again this year. Every such
payroll up to this data received his en
dorsement as a memuer of the Board of
Public Works and again the accounts were
placed in the appropriation ordinances and
warrants drawn by blm for their payment.
If the, payrolls were padded It was his
worn duty to vote them down as a mem
ber of the Board of Public Works and to
refuse issuing warrants for such alleged
fraudulent work aa city comptroller. The
fact that he allowed them proves the
charges theu as now to be outrageous elec
tion canards, calculated to destroy public
confidence and to promote the election or
defeat of special candidates. I never bavo
knowingly made a misstatement to the
public In my life to promote or defeat any
man and condemn such practice aa sub
versive of public Interests and the manu
facture of such statements can only re
act on the authors.
Mrs Km ployed hy City.
The total number of men In the employ
f the city at any one time this year, In
all departments of labor, sowers, pave
ments, grades, street sweeping and Inspec
tion, has not exceeded 237, Inclusive cf
teamsters, foremen, etc. In the past week
the total number has not exceeded 183
and thla Includes the permanent employes
who have served from six to ten years.
If divided equally between democrats and
republicans tbey would only figure ninety
two each. If all republicans there would
only be ninety-one employes more of one
party than another who couU be charged
up' to political party advantage. Does
anyone pretend that ninety-one men or
even the entire 183 men are a controlling
factor In an election where 18,000 votes
are polled? It Is simply an Insult to com
mon Intelligence to make such an Imputa
tion. Again Mr. Hitchcock, Insinuating gen
eral corruption and mismanagement,
stated Saturday evening that if the entire
democratic ticket were elected the cost of
city government would be reduced S3 per
cent. Considering that 85 per cent of the
city, tax Is made up of fixed charges and the
balance, IS vper cent, being salaries and
wage oi ' workingmen and toams, there
could be only 15 per cent saved if all
men, teams, clerks and public officers would
work' for nothing. An honest and careful
consideration would show the impossibility
of curtailing these expenses beyond 2 per
cent ' and only to the detriment of the
publlo service.
. About Electric Monopoly.
The news cited an Interview with an ofTV
Ul'Pf the. General Electrlo company of
Chicago who la alleged to have said tb
l errupt government of Omaha has driven
away capital. Considering that nearly nil
tho corrupt transaction In Omaha arf
those of the 'electric company, through
their " unscrupulous general manager, Mr.
Nash, such statements ' come with
poor grace'. Even the News which circulates
thla kind of rot has columns in Its past
issues to 'prove what every one knows t.
b the real facts. The fact is if capital li
cr has been driven away it Is due to the
libels against the city of this nature cir
culated by the men who make such charges
i.nnually for partisan ends and temporary
t dvantage.
Thus we see circulated with great
promises of reform the appeal for the
election of C. C. Wright to the office of city
attorney. He is cited as clean, etc.
That he Is clean shaven is true, but connl
derlng that he is the attorney put up In the
Interest of the New Thomson-Houstoii
Flectrlc Light company from whom he'
ew pay to defeat the submission of the
r -ly ' electric franchlso which offered tc
endure taxation and develop cheap powr
i.is election would only be placing a rowan?
for corporation su'ceervlency. He has, 'tis
true, signed tho platform of the democracy
declaring himself In favor of tbe refer
endum law and public ownership. He roust
mean ownership of public men by the
franchised corporations. The proposition
he hlf d out to Fred Naih to oppose wail
to submit the question to the people. M
was called for by 16 per cent of thp votcrr
representing over 60 per cent of the tsx
paylng public and unaer the refcrendun-

Few people can understand the feel
ing of the pugilist as be is bein counted
out. He hear the seconds ticked off.
He truegles to rise, but struggles in
vain. lie has lost the fight. ,
' There are some who are making a
losing fight for life that can appreciate
this; those whoa; lungs are diseased.
, With every tick of the watch, they know
that they are being counted out.
The great question is how can quick
, rally be made to continue the fight
, against disease t Many who have asked
that question have found a satisfactory
answer in the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It cures bronchitis,
obstinate, deep-seated coughs, hemor
rhage, night sweats, emaciation, and
other conaitioua which if neglected or
unskilfully treated may find a fatal
. termination in consumption.

prlnclplo should have been submitted to

Wright' Real Position.
Mr. Wright's opposition to this aa the
hired nan of the electric light monopoly is
a better test of his real standing than bis
simple signature to a meaningless platform,
so far as he Is concerned. Mr. Wright's
entrance Into court under the name of
Stephen Rice, a laborer In the employ of Ih?
electric company, compelling him under
oath to sign a paper In the sole Interest of
the electric light monopoly Bbows to what
length that clean gentleman is ready to go.
He claimed In court his client was laborer
Rice, but In prints he has admitted that hit
real client was the greatest corruptlonlst
corporation In this city. Can such a man
be trusted to honestly urge municipal own
ership of electric light? If not. Is It to thr
rubllc Interest to support him for city at
torney and thereby give tho electric com
pany one more graft on the public officials
of Omaha? ANDREW ROSEWATER.

C'lilrf Donahue Instructs Sevrnty-SIx
Plirrlnl Men on Their

Seventy-six epeclnl policemen have been
sworn In tor election day. Tbey were lined
up before Chief Donahue yesterday and
given their Instructions. They were cau
tioned to see to the enforcement of the ordi
nance tequlring all saloons to be closed on
election day and to Immediately report any
Infractions. Saloons will not "be permitted
to be open from the opening of the polls

KEARNEY MAN DISAPPEARS
Comes to Omaha (or Snrajlcal Opera
tion, bat Myaterlonal y Drop
Ont of Sight.
About three weeks ago William Morean nf
Kearney arrived In the city and registered
at the St. James hotel. He took supper
there and remained over niEht. The oaten.
slble purpose of bis visit to Omaha was to
undergo a second operation for appendicitis
at St. Joseph's hospital. He left the hotel
the morning following his arrival, presum
ably to go to the hospital, but since then
nothing has been heard from him. H dM
not go to the hospital, at least no record It
to do round or blm In any of the Omaha
hospitals. He was a single man of consid
erable means and was interested in stock
raising In the vicinity of Kearnev. A few
days ago friends were In the city making
Inquiries about him, but have thus far been
unaDie to nnd the aligbtest clue. He was e
man of abstemious habits and bis dlsnp
pearance is unaccountable.

Announcement nt the Theaters.
Election returns will be snnounced from
the Orpheuin stage during the performance
tonight. Arrangements have been made to
get the earliest reports and the audience
will be knpt thoroughly posted on the
count. The vaudeville bill this week Is
on? of the strongest of the season and to
gether with election news has stimulated
the sale of seats so that a full bouse Is
almost a forejone conclusion.
The present splendid bill "Heart and
Sword," being presented by the Ferris
Block company at the Boyd, will be suc
ceeded on Thursday by a modern drama
with a melodramatic tinge, "The Young
Wife." The story tells of the devotion of
a young woman, .who married the adopted
sen of a very wealthy capitalist, to her
yrung husband. The natural, but discarded
and dissolute son of the capitalist murders
bis father to shield his tbefu of money.
The crime Is laid at ' the dcor of the
yrung husband, but he Is spared the hu
miliation of arrest by his wife, who con
fesses that she committed the crime. Of
courfe evfrythlng t-ads all right and all
git h's Juet di'S.-rts. Mr. Ferris enacts
the role of the young husband and Miss
Favey that cf the young wife. Lincoln
Kibbie, who with the Ferris company
last season, joined the company yesterday.
Brronennaly Thinks by Sconrlna; Her
Sealp That She Cures Dandruff.
Cleanly woman has an erroneous idea that
by scouring the scalp, which removes the
.andrult scales, she Is curing the dandruff.
She may wash her scalp every day, and yet
have dandruff her life long, accompanied by
falling hair, too. The only way In the
world to cure dandruff is to kill the germ,
and there is no hair preparation that will
do that but Newbro's Herplclde. Herplclde
killing the dandruff germ leaves the hair
free to grow as healthy nature Intended.
Destroy the cause, you remove the effect.
Kill the dandruff germ with Herplclde.
