the city council was Informed of the execu

city hall a few minutes before 3 o'clock,
President Zlmman wns in the legal depart

Breen about tho legal aspect of the situa

department at once and President Zlmman
utepped down the corridor and became
mayor of Omaha. Ah he had served alto

oughly in touch with the members of the

Mayor Zlmman wished to devote consid

Remarkable Political Flgare.
Mayor Moores was one of the most re
markable political figures of Nebraska dur
ing the last two generations. His political
lifo began In 1887, when he was elected
clerk of the district court. He served eight
years In this position and nearly nine years
as mayor, being out of office only a h rt
time In the interim. In a personal way It
was proved time and again that, he was
the most popular public man in the city.
The estate left by the mayor is worth
about $71tmu, the most of it being in city

SKETCH OF HI MY I.IFK iOK OIT
Career of Mai Who Served Longest as
Omaha's Mayor.
Frank E. Moores was born at Hamilton.
O.. August 13, 1840. He attended the public
schools until he was 16 years old. Thon
differences with a stepmother caused him
to leave home. He seoured work as cabin
boy on an Ohio river steamboat and served
for one month at a wage of $18. He was
promoted and worked on the boats for o
year. He then became reconciled to his
family and remained at home until the
civil war broke out. In the meantime he
worked at various occupations. Incidentally
learning the trade of box making.
When the war began young Moores wss
about to engage In business on his own
responsibility. He responded to President
Lincoln's first call for volunteers, enlisting
as a private in Company K. Eleventh Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, for three months' serv
ice from April 1", isv.fc When mustered out
he re-enlisted immediately as private In
Company O, Forty-fourth Ohio Volunteer
Infantry. He was promoted to sergeant

In October. 11, and to second lieutenant
and acting adjutant a year later. He was
still with his regiment when It veteran
Ised and was changed to the Eighth Ohio
cavalry In January, 1864. Just after this
Moores. was made first lieutenant. He was
commissioned captain of Company D May
ft, ISfil, for gallant and merttorous conduct
In the field. Several times he was, severely
wounded in battle. He served with. Sherl
dnnjnthc Snenandoah valley I 1R84 and
wns captured by -the enemy January 9,
1SS5. at Beverly, W. Va. For a short tlma
he was confined' In Llbby prison at Rich
mond, being paroled March 6. He was
mustered out of the service and honor
ably discharged July 10, 1866. Captain
Moores jierved his couhtry continuously
from the beginning of the war until it
cloned. H was In many severe and Im
portant engagements.
When Captain Moores returned to Ohio
he opened a general merchandise store st
Ore-nville. O.. as one of the firm of
Souders & Moores. He was occupied iu
this way until 1874, when he went to Kan
sas City and became passenger agent of
the Kansas City. St. . Joseph A Council
Bluffs railway. One year inter he was
assigned to a similar position for .the same
road in Omaha. This position he retained
until the Wabash railroad made him its
general agent at Omaha. During his years
of railroad service here he acquired great
popularity and a lurge acquaintance.
Moores', political career began In 187.
when he was nominated by the republican
for clerk of the district court and defeated
his democratic opponent, W. II. IJams.
He served four years, or the length of his
term, and was renominated and re-elected
In 1KU, defeating M. J. Gannon, democrat
He was defeated for a third term by Albyn
Prank.
During Moores" two terms us clerk of
the district court thu Incumbent got no
salary, but drew his income from fees,
the amount of eompemuttion depending
upon the business of the office. This con
dition made the place by far the best
political office from a pecuniary vltw In the
state. Moores won his. victories under the
severest kind of tests. The office being
rich, was fiercely contested tor. In the
1891 campaign the American Protective
association fanaticism was at full height
snd played a large hand In the election.
A deal that Moores made with certain In
fluential men in the organisation to get
support subsequently was giveu publicity
and caused a split in .the local ranks of
the association.
Iu 1SH7 democratic politicians by legisla
tive enactment secured a change In the
time of holding the city election, which
cut short the term for which W. J. Broatch
had -been elected as mayor. The repub.
llcans nominated Moores and the demo
crats E. K. Howell. The campaign was a
bitter one, the fight on. Moores being made
on the theory that he hud not accounted
properly with the county In the 'matter
of fees received ss clerk of the district
court. Several suits against him were
started and he undertook aeveral against
the county to recover money owed to him.
In the final adjudications Moores was de
clared guiltless of wrongdoing by the su
preme court. Notwithstanding the bitter
fight made on the plan mentioned Moores
defeated Howell by a small majority.
Mayor Broatch declined to yield up his
office to' the mayor-elect, when the ap
pointed time arrived, lie applied to the
courts for a writ forbidding Moores to
attempt to dispossess him. on the con
tention that Moores wss not properly quall
fl.'d for the office beuauam of the charges
made about the handling of funds by
Moores, as district clerk. Mayor Broatch
surrounded his office with policemen, who
forcibly ret Is ted attempts of Mayor-elect
Moores und his friends to enter the offices
of the executive on the third floor of ths
city ball. The incident was so contrary
to ordrr that it caused much notoriety
throughout the middle west. After two
days cf legal wrestling, during which
Moores secured a writ of ouster, Broatch
departed the offlca and yielded the au
thority to his successor. The case went to
the supreme court, wherv it was decided
In favor of Moores. '
In liM) Moores was re-elected 'mayor on
tli rrpubllcau ticket, defeating Ai
Poppleton, democrat, b an 1ncreas-:d
majority.
Moores' renominated and re-election ofr a
third term In the Spring of I! was
achieved over the greatest difficulties. The
primaries were among tne most exciting
In the history of the city. Moores Secured
g majority of two rtelegntee to the con
vention, although he ran against a field of
candidates, Including W. W. Bingham,
E. A. Benton and Charles L. Saundr.
During the night of the prlmarls the op
position succeeded In buying one of the
Moofes rielegstes from the Eighth ward
The convention wss In Wsshlngton hall,
with every Inch of available standing room
occupied. The Moores opposition counted
on the defection of other delegates elected
to support him. but the mechanism ran
poorly and failed to worn chiefly because
of the flrmness'of Chairman Robert Cowell
In dealing with the convention. tVhen It
was discovered a delegate from the Eighth
ward had sold out excitement wss terrific.
Seeing that their plans were frustrated,
the delegates opposed to Moores bolted
and wslkd to tlie Millard hotel. Liter
they nominated Brastus A. Benson, who
ran as an Independent candidate.
The democrats sgaln nominated K. K.
Howell. Moores Won the contest by a
plurality of about 92 over Benson. Howell
tunning third.
Trouble ran l'ke water down hill all
through the three Moores' administrations.
At sll times litigation of some kind wss
pending. The matter of the Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners snd Its appoint
ment furnished no end of suits and con
tention. n when Judge C. R. Scott
from the district bench handed down a
decision declaring that the mayor and not
the governor rightfully should name the
commissioners, a situation both delicate
and thrilling was precipitated. Mayor
Moores always contended for home rule In
municipal affairs, and Insisted that the
governor should have no hand In the man
agement of the Are snd police departments.
At tirst sustained by the supreme court.
Judge Scott's decision Anally was over
thrown, snd arter securing his point, ap
parently beyond further question, the
mayor was forced to witness the ousting
of his board snd a return to the former
order.
Moores' Arst term was begun on the eve
Of the Tranamisftlsslpp! exposition. It was
the express demand of the business Inter
ests that as much personal liberty be per
mitted as consistent with peaco and good
order. Throughout his administrations
Moores' policy had a trend toward liber
ality In dealing with the liquor business.
He believed the social evil should be con
fined to a proscribed quarter and so en
Aeavored n treating the question. A church
member and a woekly attendant, he was
frequently denounced and attacked by
church enthuslastls from the reform basis.
Despite the feet that Moores contributed
liberally to many funds for church build
ing and church purposes he was sometimes
proclaimed the enemy of the churches and
what they stand for.
In 1901 Mayor Moores, In response to pub
lic clamor, gave Omaha a "blue law"
i Sunday. This was anotner Incident that
' advertised Omaha and Its mayor In the
j press of other cities. Everything for sale
' In town wss tabooed, one sample was
enough for the city and It went back to
the kind of 4 Sunday that permitted the
buying of a newspaper, getting one's shoes
shlned or procuring a cigar at a drug
store.
The particular hobby of Mayor Moores
in city affairs was the fire department. In
his opinion nothing was too good or suf
ficiently excellent for the Are Aghters. He
constantly advocated and worked for new
and better fire stations, better equipment
and a larger force. On several occasions
he was ths principal factor In raising large
sums fon the beneAt of widows and faml.
lies of ftrcjpen killed In the performance
of duty. Cne of these occasions was the
Mercer Chemical company fire and an
other the Allen Bros.' fire on Thanksgiv
ing, 1903, at each of which four men lost
their lives. For the Galveston Aood suf
ferers the mayor was chiefly Instrumental
in sending $8,800 from Omaha.
His natural generosity was marked. It
was so strong as to be one of his chief
characteristics. Ills office for years was
the refuge of the poverty-stricken and
afflicted. To a -close observer who visited
the executive rooms every day for a num
ber of years It sppeared that seven out
of every ten persons who .called on Mayor
Moores during the day came to ask for
something In the name of charity. In
stances of his freeness In giving, not only
money nut influential assistance, are many
Perhaps the thing that spread Mayor
Moores' fame further around the world
than any other was caused by the scarcity
of news at the city hall one day In the
summer of im. Two reporters came Into
tne mayor a office after searching the
building vainly (u quest of a shred of
pertinent Information. Queries of the
mayor seemed likely to help things out not
a particle, when his honor laughed and
said:
"Here. boys, is a letter I've Just re
celved frojii a matrimonial bureau in New
York asking me to take hand and help
them get western husbands for eastern
girls. Don't know but what I ought to
help."
' He handed the letter to the reporters. It
was mimeographed and looked as though
probably It had been sent to the mayor of
every city In the country. But the report
ers glanced at each other and brightened
up. They read the letter, thanked the
mayor, and between the two manufactured
a story detailing how Mayor Moores had
decided to open a matrimonial bureau for
the benefit of the east, overstocked with
girls, and the west, overstocked with un
married cowmen.
That night the story was telegraphed
east and west. It appeared In varying
lengths all .over ths t'nited States. The
following day brought demands for photo
graphs of his honor. These were promptly
forwarded, and tha story kept on traveling.
Letters from unmarried women and social
workers began to arrive. Within a week
the mall carrier at the i-lty hall no longer
considered life worth living. The mayor
stood It well enough until the letters be
gan to come In foreign languages. Front
England, Irelaug, Scotland, Germany,
Franco, Russia. Sweden. Norway. Denmark,
Australia, and even the south seas, came
demands, not only for husbands, but for
wives ss well. Many enclosed photographs.
Not a. few sent clippings from newspapers
and magasines. The trull of the story was
traced almo.t around the globe. When it
wore Itself out from sheer inaction the
mayor hs,d severs I barrels of manuscript In
all languages spoken in civilised lauds.
During the Transmleslsslppl year and
that of the Greater American exposition
following it fell to the lot of Mayor Moores
to receive and do his share of entertaining
BRILLIANT

PbSTUM
la a powerful aid
to both.
Keud "The Rood to WeUville," ' In
the pkg.
hundreds of notables who came to Omaha.
Few mayors of large American eltles have
acted as hosts to more distinguished men.
Although the task was arduous the mayor
acquitted himself with much credit and
built 'up a big reputation for hospitality and
good nature under all circumstances.
The wit of Mayor Moores was of s pe
culiar quality. Democratic in habits and
address and equally at ease In any com
pany, he never used any particular care In
the nicety cf phrases or th" suitability of
words. In slightly different language snd
w-lth a more modulated Intonation many
things he said might have won him Immor
tality and a wide reputation as wit and
humorist. Rut whatever faults he had In
taste and diction and an irresistible Impulse
to create puns, his bluntness was forceful
and full of meaning.
One of his originations thst will be re
membered longest Is his historic song.
"There's a Hole In the Bottom of the Sea."
It Is absolutely pointless, but specially ap
propriate on certain occasions. The msyor
once told about it like this: ,
v "I ran never forget the first time I sung
It. It wss at a banquet given years ago
in Lincoln by the Loyal Legion to the
memliera of. the state senate. General
Manderson was tonstmnster and It had
fallen to me to stsrt some song about
every so often. Ijale In Ihe proceedings
T. J. Mahoney made a patriotic address
that wss a stirring one nnd received most
enthusiastically. I saw that at its close
a song would be needed, but to save my
life I couldn't think of any more. Turning
to Major Davis I whlpered to him to help
me out art! he whisoered bark that as I
was In a hole it would be proper to start
the "Hole In the Bottom of the Sea." I
wasn't familiar with It, but he nnswered
that It'was Just a repetition of the one line
and that I could set It to any music I
saw nt. I hummed It over to several dif
ferent tunes without striking one that
would fit until I tried "Sweet Bye and
Bye." That seemed to answer and I de
cided to try It. Well, It went better than
anything I ever dreamed of. Before we
had used It up nearly every man St thnt
table was standing and singing It with full
voles. The next morning someone started
It up in the senate gallery when I came
In to look on "and after that It spread like
wildfire."
The sharp conflicts between Mayor Moores
and other powers, both In and out of the
city hall, are Innumerable. He never
lacked the courage to carry out bis con
victions to the limit. This was well Illus
trated In October, lns, wh-n he had police
men guard the doors from the counoll
chatriber so that minority members could
not escape, break a quorum nnd prevent
the majority from exercising Its will in
passing an ordinance providing for a gas
street lighting contract. In the face of wild
buffeting the mayor stood Arm and carried
his point. This, too, though he was wesk
and almost ill.
His vetoes number several hundred. In
matters of the expenditure of money they
fell thickly and often. In 19O0 he cleverly
stole campaign thunder of opponents by
proclaiming himself In favor of municipal
ownership, beginning with the electric light
snd water works.
Mayor Moores' first wife was killed in a
runaway accident June 1, 1S98, while return
ing with a friend from a Sunday school
picnic. The team was frightened by on
other and she Jumped to the street and her
skull was fractured against a curbstone.
Three children resulted from this mar
riage, Harry E. Moores. general agent for
the passenger department of the Wabash
railroad, and adult daughters Adele and
Kate Moores.
March IK. 19iR. Mayor Moores married
Mary Regina Malone, who hnd been his
secretary for a number of years. The cere
mony was performed at Phoenix, Arts.,
where the mayor spent the hitter part of
the winter to aid his declining health,
which began to fall early 1 H with a
severe Illness with pneumonia and bron
chitis. During the lung period that Mayor
Moores was chief executive of tho city
the flag always hung over Farnam street
from his office wlnd'ow. In front of his
homo on South Eighteenth street he hsd a
flagstaff erected and here, too, the colors
always were flung to. the breese.
TRIBUTE.) FROM CITY OFFICIALS
Expressions of Men Associated with
Late Chief Ksecatlve.
In the city hall among his old asso
ciates only the kindliest of woids and feel
ings are found for the dead executive.
"After I learned to know the msyor I
found many admirable elements In his
character," said Msyor Zlmman. "The bet
ter I knew him the more I respected him.
We had our quarrels about city affairs, but
he had my confidence and I believe I had
his. ' You will find after his death thst
many who have been bitter toward him will
remember much good of him, now that the
keen edge of political differences has worn
off."
City Treasurer Hennings iluyor Moores
was a man who never tried to deceive.
His administration showed excellent Judg
ment In flnunelsl matters many times. The
mayor saved the city large sums of money
by heading off Injudicious expenditures by
the veto power. To have the personal popu
larity he enjoyed is a thing remarkable
In Itself.
City Attorney Breen I regrpt his destli
exceedingly. Coming as it did at this
critical time In affairs of the city It is to be
especially deplored. He suffered long and
made an heroic struggle for life and better
health. In every respect hs was a strong
man and an heroic figure. Certainly he
was a man of distinguished appearance
and was quite a figure In the political life of
this community.
Chief of Polloe J. J. Donahue Nothing
has happened since I .was chief of police
that has effected me more than the news
of Mayor Moores' death. I can hardly find
words sufficient to express my grief. Frank
E. Moores was deserving of highest re
spect as a citlsen and mayor.
Comptroller Lobeck Personally, Mayor
Moores and myself were, en the best of
terms. We were Intimately connected In
city affaire for nine years and on matters
pertaining to the finances of the city I
always found Mr. Mooreu very careful be
fore approving claims In all casus. He was
a man of strong and emphatic opinions
In regard to public matters, und, while wc
did not always agree op public policies, he
wss a man of large heart und strong
friendships. I enjoyed his friendship.
City Engineer Rosewster The msyor was
a man who. In my Judgment, had many
good qualities and some poor ones. He was
kind-hearted to a fault. His and my con
ceptions of municipal government differed
radically in soma respects, but he had the
courage to acknowledge errors of Judg
ment where many would have persisted tu
their mistakes. He held the office of major
longer than any other man.
Assistant City Engineer Craig Those who
knew him best cunnot but regret his de
parture. His assistance to those In need
was always prompt.
f City Electrician Waldemar Michaeleen
! Frank E. Moores was before the public for
so many years thst every man. woman und
child in ths city knew him. Politically I
had but few dealings with him. hut as A
man I can suy I know he had a heart so
j big that It would permit no one to suffer
I If within his power to help.
Chief 8alter of ths Fire Department
When Mayor Moores died the fire depart
ment lost one of its best friends. I tltought
much of Frank E. Moores.
City Physician J. B- Ralph I am very
sorry to hear of ths death of Frank L

City Clerk W. II. Elbourn I was much
surprised to hear the news. It was a great
shock to me.
Street Commissioner Hummel Those
who knew him best will say he was one of
the most charitable and large-hearted may
ors the city ever had.
Assistant City Attorney Herdtuan He
was a large-hearted man. Personally he
and I always had pleasant relations.
License Inspector Sam Scott I knew him
to he a very charitable man. He was kind
hearted and always had his hand In his
pocket to assist the pixr In time of need.
Councilman Dyball Mayor Moores was a
friend of the people and had a heart large
enough to toke In the whole world.
Councilman Back Frank 12. Moores was
the best mayor Omaha ever had. He was
an old friend of mine and I knew him ns
a man of many good qualities.
Councilman Huntington I knew Mayor
Moores ever since I was a .boy and always
found him a close friend, notwithstanding
any political differences we may havo had.
Having been closely associated with him il
the council I can say no man worked
harder for the welfare of the city than
he did.
Councilman K vans I knew Frank K.
Moores eighteen years and always liked
him thoroughly. He made an excellent
official and I em sure he will be missed
by all.
