SCANDAL AMONG DEMOCRATS
Antl-Brjan Man Ckargad with Stuffing
the Ballot Bcr
SIXTH WARD, SOUTH OMAHA, THE PLACE
Vrynn Delegation Defeated on Face
of Returns Sits a Conven
tloo by Agreement to
J
Keep StilL
A scandal of gigantic proportions in demo
eratlc high life a exemplified In the Sixth
ward of South Omaha Is Imminent In spite
the best efforts of the powers that be to
suppress It. The story Is one that Jars the
sensibilities of the better element of the
democratic party and for that reason a
trade whereby the delegation that was ap
parently defeated at the primaries in the
ward mentioned lost Wednesday sat and
voted In the convention yesterday.
The facta in the case are substantially as
follows: One of the Bryan advocates ap
pointed to watch the balloting; was City
Attorney W. C. Lambert, and when It be
came apparent to the Success leaguers that
the day was lost for the anti-Bryan faction
It is alleged that a well known physician
of South Omaha was engaged to talk to
Mr. Lambert, while another man engaged
the other Bryan watcher in earnest discus
sion, standing between the watchers and
the ballot box. Then it Is charged one
of the antls picked up a large bunch
of ballots and passed them to the other,
who was near the ballot box and who
In turn stuffed them hastily in the open
ing, but not quite quick enough to escape
the eagle eye of Lambert, who immediately
demanded to know the number of votes
cast up to that time and -who was denied
this Information. When the count did
finally come and the smoke that the dis
covery of the stuffing procees had caused
had cleared away, it was found that 157
ballots were polled, while the record showed
only 112 had been cast, and that with the
Joggling the Bryan delegates had been de
feated by a good, wide margin.
Lsmbrrt Starts Trouble.
Attorney Lambert at once took measures
to create a rumpus, but the local censors
of the party got together and that is the
reason why Mr. Lambert, J. 8. Walters,
Dan Hannon, F. J. Freytag, S. C. Shrlgley
and William P. McDevltt, the Bryan dele
gation, is sitting and voting In the demo
cratic convention, while the vote at the
primaries shows on 1U face that they were
defeated by at lesst thirty-seven votes.
It la further stated on good authority
that Mr. Lambert announced to County
Attorney English before It was decided, for
the sake of suppressing the scandal, to al
low the Bryan delegation to serve, that he
would go before the grand Jury now
In session, make oath to the fact
that he saw the anti-Bryan men stuff the
box and asked the county attorney to
prosecute the case. Another interesting
statement in connection with the case Is
that the man who got the ballot box from
the county clerk's office before the voting
began took the same to hi place of busi
ness In South Omaha, where ha substituted
for it a wooden one with a much larger
opening for the insertion of the ballots, the
parties concerned arguing from this that
the stuffing act was premeditated from the
first

odious by their remarks. The men were

women, as ugly aa mudhens. Thrashing
them was out of the question, and as much
as the Incensed escorts wished it, they

ANIMAL CIRCUS GETSCB0WDS
Gentry's Sbow Delights Two Large
Assemblawes by Its Novel
Features.
Gentry Brothers' trained animal circus.
larger and better than ever, gave two ex
hibitions yesterday at Eighteenth and
Douglas streets before large and delighted
ansemblagea. While this amusement enter
prise makes a speclahy of catering to chil
dren, yet a generous sprinkling of the
eldr generation was noticed. While the
mas and pas said they went to escort the
little folks, yet they seemed to enjoy the
many antics of the dumb performers as
much as did the younger people and they
were unstinted in their praise of the whole
entertainment. ,
Notwithstanding the rain today Gentry's
gave their regular morning parade, draw
ing crowds to see it and give the regular
afternoon and evening performances. The
management is prepared this year as usual,
to guarantee its patrons freedom from
wet under its tents no matter what the
weather may be outside. Rain neither
interferes with the animals or the audi
ence. It has become a by-word In the middle
west that Gentry's draw rain as well aa
crowds. Not In four years have they
failed to encounter rain on their visits to
Omaha and. at Marshalltown, la., the
papers, In announcing the coming of the
show, stated in the headlines, "Sure Sign
of Rain.".
As in former years the name of Gentry
has stood for all that la best In this line
of attractions, so this season the mere
mention that the show is here Is enough
to elicit more than ordinary interest. Llks
Christmas, Gentry comes but once a year,
and as a result it is a red-letter event, par
ticularly on the Juvenile calendar.
The canine feature of the show is stronger
this year than ever. There are dogs of
all colors, breeds, sizes and dispositions.
Some are good and some are bad; aome
have to be corrected like children, while
others receive a reward of merit card
every day. The original Mr. and Mrs.
Schneider, the waltzing dogs, head the list
of the fun-making dogs. They and their
precocious progeny evoke much merriment.
Then there is "Biff," the meal-stealing dog,
who-is hung twice every day for his sins.
"Shellbark," the sheriff, and the ambulance
support Biff well. "Dude," the high Jump,
lng dog, seems to lord It over the rest of
the athletic dogs when he makes a clean
sweep of the obstacles. "Dewey," the high
diving canine, feels his position with much
dignity when he Is perched up on his plat
form near the- top cf tha tent "Ring,"
who does a bag-punching stunt, is out
with a defl, offering to box any dog in
Omaha for a pound of meat, and ha la not
doing any barking over It either.
The management offers $5 to anyona who
will ride "Dynamite" three times around
the ring. Two persons essayed this feat
yesterday and they are now eating their
meals from the mantel shelf. "Dynamite"
is a mule with a reputation on two conti
nents. He has more life to the square
inch than a barrel of nltro-glycerine.
The elephants and the Royal Jananese
troop do some clever work. They were
heartily applauded at both performances
yesterday. The performing ponies divide
honors with the dogs, and It would be hard
to ray which did the better. The equine
ensemble work waa the best that has been
seen here for a long time.
Something novel is offered In the way of
an eftershow This season's after-performance
is Galettl'a monkeys. Tha atar
feature of this part of the Gentry show Is
"Monkavllo," the monkey that loops tha
loop la an automobile, These monkeys do
evei r'Mng except talk. Their rough house
In a barber shop la an amusing burlesque.'
FOUR HUNDRED BALL TICKETS
Books for Sale and Demand for Them

Four hundred Is the number of ball tickets
so far taken for the great opening of the
Auditorium. The ball hustling committee
met yesterday in the Commercial club and
compared notes on the sale and prepara
tions. They found a strong demand for

factorily. The management haa received
a request for date June 28, from tha Swed
ish Jubilee singers, who are to compete In
the singing at the St. Louis contest. This
Is three days after the close of tha Innea
engagement.
The sale of season tickets to tha festival

mayor'a reluctance In giving tbe Informa

he would do, la that so many of tha names
are those of well known church members.
"Nina out of every ten go to church
every Sunday and are ranked among the

CONTRACTORS ARE FIGHTING
Railroad Builders ta Controversy to
Federal Court Over Four Thou
sand Dollars.
A suit has been begun In the United
States circuit court by Albert R- Glllllahd
and others against William F. Callahan and
others for damngrs amounting to $4,326.23.
The parties are nil rnllrosd construction
contractors engaged In building the roadbed
of the Eastern Oklahoma Railway company
In Kay county, Oklahoma.
The plaintiffs allege they were employed
by the defendants as subcontractors in 19M
and were delayed for several weeks in be
ginning their work because the defendants
had not paid for the land for the right-of-way
and thst no engineer was there to lay
oft the work they had contracted to do,
hence, plaintiffs say. they were put to a
heavy expense In maintaining their equip
ment and force of men during the period
of enforced Idleness. Further allegations
of the petition are that plaintiffs were not
fully compensated for their work when the
work did begin and after they had com
pleted it.

TO SAVE EXPENSE TO C1TT
Ordinaooe Beluf Framatl to Throw Prrine;
Eepairt on Straet Bail way.
WILL PROVIDE THAT COMPANY GIVE BOND
City Attorney Wright and President
Zlmman of Council Assert Inten
tion of Seeing; that this
Is Done.
An ordinance designed to protect the city
from damage to pavements by the atreet
railway company is being framed by the
legal department for Introduction at an
early council meeting. It will provide that
the corporation deposit a bond with the
city for the adequate protection of the
paving and that every time a bit of paving
is removed permission first must be ob
tained through the public works depart
ment. At present there Is no such distinct
provision In the ordinances.
Resolutions adopted by the council sev
eral weeks ago, directing the atreet rail
way company to make repairs along car
tracks on many streets, have met with no
response from the corporation and coun
cllmen expect none will be made. The
question Involved la In regard to the obli
gation of the company to put back tha
same material removed from the street out
side the rails.
Two Schemes In Mind.
The resolutions provide that if the com
pany did not begin the work within thirty
daya the Board of Public Works waa to
have It performed under the supervision
of the city engineer and to his satisfaction.
An application for a mandamus In tha
district court compelling action by the
railway company is contemplated. Should
the mandamus be granted. It is the Idea
of the city officers Interested to start an
agitation that will result In certain amend
ments to the charter by the next legisla
ture. This will throw open again the doors
of the paving question, aa It relates to
.street railways. The charter now de
mands that the company only pave be
tween lta rails.
City Attorney Wright and President Zlm
man of the council both say they have no
disposition to let down on the fight and
will push It to a successful conclusion,
even though they have to carry It Into
the legislature next winter.
