Flock to Rich and Knight.
Aa previously stated in The Bee, the
republican school board ticket is very
popular with all classes. C. M. Rich and
J. C. Knight ere well known business men,
splendidly educated and fitted for po
sitions on the school board. They have
lived In South Omaha since an early day.
The present policy of the school board Is
economy, and the members who are push
ing the candidacy of Messrs. Rich and
Knight claim they must be elected to sub
serve the best Intej-itti of the taxpayers
and the schools. These members have Is
sued a statement showing that they have
saved during the laat year the enormous
sum of )60,oco by strict economy, snd they
want to continue this policy by electing
Mr. Rich and Mr. Knight. For this reason
the business men are for Rich and Knight
and the cltlsens are flocking to them. Many
democrats announce their Intentions to vote
for the republican school board members.
Popularity of O'Selll.
Business men are rallying to the support
of O'Neill for tax commissioner, who has
lots of friends among the republicans.
Democrats who have no use for O'Connor
because of the corporute interests he repre
sents do not want to be quoted by name,
but they are putting in good words for
O'Neill wherever-ttiey can. A few aumples
of the general talk shows which way the
wind Is blowing:
O. F. Beavers Republicans have the best
city ticket ever put up here. O'Neill, es
pecially, ought to be nnd will be elected.
C. M. Rich O'Neill Is u safe man. I
know him personally and have every con
fidence in mm. in tact, tn wnoie ticket is
. good.
I A. L. Bcrgfiilst-The ticket Is all -Ight
i all of It. O Nelll la my choice for tax com
; mlssloner. and if I had my way he would
be elected unanimously.
T. J. Nolan O'Neill ought to be elected
by all means because he is so much better
qualified fot the office than his opponent
and much mors truatworlhy,
Repablleaa Rally Tonight.
Tonight thure Is to bs a big rally of re
publicans at Workman temple, Twenty
fifth and M streets. It Is expected that all
of the candidates will be present and that
a rousing meeting will bs the result. Some
seakers aside from the candldatea have
been Invited to deliver short addresses.
This rally will really be the closing big
meeting of the campaign. On Monday,
the day before election, meetings will be
held In every ward In the city, but no ot
tempt will be made to hold a big rally. At
tonight's meeting there will be a band and
the streets In the business portion of the
city will be paraded before the meeting Is
called to order.
Democrats Are Worried.
The ststement made In The Bee of yes
terday, regarding the advent of Ed Johns
ton Into South Omaha politics sgaln, caused
considerable consternation In democratto
ranks. The leading democrata say thet
the fact that Johnatcn has taken the man
agement of the campaign out of the hands
of the city central committee and Is run
ning things to suit himself, Is enough to
drive democratic voters to the republican
ticket. Another thing against the demo
crata now la that Johnston had declared
his intention of going west to live. Ha ex-
I peoted to leave here on April V Now thnt
i he is running the campaign he Is credited
I with making the ststement that If Hoc tor
Is elected he will remain here and be the
power behind the throne.

Register Saturday.
An effort Is being made to get out all
voters who have not registered to go to
the booths and register on Saturday. In
order for those who want to vote they
must have registered last fall or else reg
ister this spring. Especial attention Is
called to the fact that those who have
moved since last fall's registration must
secure transfers. Those desiring transfers
will first go to the place they registered
last fall and give tbelr new address. Then
the registrars will Issue a certificate and
the name on the original registration book
will be marked out. In this way the vot
ing of two persons under the same name
will be prevented.

Rowley may enter the state oratorical con

ATTACK ON YOUNGHUSBAND'S MISSION
Effort to Disarm the Enemy Leads
to Platol aud Hayonet Charges
and Death of Com
manders.
TUNA, British India, April l.-News
has been received here of severe fighting,
the Tibetans having attacked the British
mission under Colonel Tounghusband.
There were two engagements and the Tib
etans were repulsed with heavy loss. The
British captured the Tibetan camp at
Quru. ,
At 8 o'clock this morning a flying col
umn started to reconnolter the Tibetan
camp at Quru, whereupon a general from
Lhassa asked the Colonel to retire with bis
mission to Yatung for the purposs of car
rying on negotiations.
Colonel Younghuaband replied that ne
gotiations had been proceeding fruitlessly
for fifteen years and that retirement was
now Impossible,
The attitude of the Tibetan leaders con
vinced Colonel MacDonald of the necessity
of disarming them. The Tibetans numbered
l.bu) snd thalr resistance led to a smart
engagement. The situation for a few mo
ments was critical. Revolvers snd bayonets
were used and then a ride flra was resorted
to, at which the Tibetans fled.
Nearlng the Tibetan camp at Guru a
second attack took pluce. In which the ar
tillery played he largest part. Finally the
Tibetans retreated over the hills.
The village was finally taken by a
mounted bayonet charge.
Among the Tibetans killed were the
Lhassa general, the military command
ant of Pharl and Lata and the repre
sentatives of the golden monastery to
whose Influence and violent hostility the
existing difficulties were largely due.
The Tibetan losses are believed to be
over 400, while the British casualties srs
sbout s doxen.
DIXIE CLUB BECOMES A FACT
Southern Born Cltlsens of Omaha
Complete) Organisation of
Their Body.
A generous amount of real southern en
thusiasm was uncorked at Arcanum hall
last night when the Dixie club of Omaha
became a fixed organisation, with a con
stitution, by-laws, officers and all the in
cidental fixings. It Is the aim of the
organisation to have club rooms, probably
In the Psxton block, which shall be open
at all times to members snd be used by
them, not only for club purposes, but for
the entertainment of strangers who may
be within the galeo of the city, provided
they hall from the lower side of Msson
snd Dixon's line.
An interesting feature of the meeting
waa the presence of a number of old sol
diers from both the confederate and union
armies, who exchanged pleasantries In a
far different but none the less earnest man
ner from what they did forty years ago.
They were: F. J. Hale, wbo served In

pressing regret at being unable to be pres
ent, and the transaction of the rest of
the business was Intersporsed with the ren
dition of songs and Instrumental music,
essentially southern and reminiscent of the
good old ante-bellum days, that awakened
much enthusiasm. Those present were
grouped under the heada of the states from
which they hall, and were escorted to their

Ella Hurst's Namesake.
A woman went to the police st&t'.on last
night and asked pcrmlsxlon to see Kiln
Hurst, the woman accused of robbing vari
ous houses In the city while working in
the capacity of a domesUc. As Ella Hurst
has steadfastly refused to divulge tho nnine
of her associates or give any clue which
may lead to the discovery of tho booty.
Captain Mostyn readily gave his consent
ond a wink to a couplo of detectives, who
closed In upon the ctrunger. The Hurst
woman waa brought out of the cell and
the two women surveyed each other with
out a word. Then the strange wonnin
turned to Captain Slostyn and said: "My
name is also Ella Hurst, and I come from
Glenwood, la. When the people saw the
account of the robberies they Immediately
connected me with them and are con
tinually asking me. when I got out of Jail
and things of that sort. As I happened to
be a visitor in Omaha I thought I would
like to see the woman. Thank you. you
are kind. Much obliged to you." So say
ing, she walked out, leaving Captnln
Mostyn and the two detectives gasing at
each other In amasement.
When the Hurst wnmnn was first arrested
Captain Mostvn received a telephone mea
sage from an uncle of Klla Hurst of Olen
wood, ssklng permission to see her. This
waa done and the man came, aaw and went
away highly cleaned that the woman In
Jail was not his niece.

Amateur Maht nt the Orpheum.
A large audience attended the Orpheum
Thursday matinee. The special feature was
un amateur olio given Immediately after
the regular bill. This Included Master
Johnny DUlrance, a chap of about 10 years
of ago, who played the mandolin. Ths
Brothers Brader, also youngsters, pleased
the audience with song snd dance, X Juve
nile team styling themselves Bear and
Pain, and not inappropriately either, at
tempted the cross-tire humor in conversa
tion. Their effort was Just about as primi
tive In the amateur school as curiosity will
ever desire. That amateur performances
have an Interested clientele cannot bs
gainsaid In the faro of the demonstrative
crowds they draw.
Last night a company of amateurs, under
the direction of Mr. C. W. Warner, gave
the third act of a play, "True Friends,"
which was very well received. Only the
principals of the long cast appeared, but
their work was heartily applauded by ths
audience. The company will give tbs play
in full next Thursday evening at Bohemian
hall on South Thirteenth street.
