RELIEF TENTS FARE BAD IN STORM Last Special Trala f These- tsfsr taaates Has tome, bat Regslsr Tralas Will t arry Scatter ing Uroaps. California refugees fleeing from the d- vastatton wrosght by tempestuous element ran into anotht-r riot -of conditions, on sn Infinitely emaUei; scale, at .Union -station yesterdsy, mhen rain, falling In torrents, and hall desolated the tents erected for their benefit. The large crowd which came in about noon was well cared for and then the rain began to fall In torrents, with the result that th nurses, women and doctors were well snaked. Tarpaulins and canvas and cots' were put over the supplies as far as they Went, tiut the evening rnln and hail completely flooded everything. The rain and water 'went through the tents In great streams. About thirty refugees were still In the tents waiting for the rvenlng trains, and these, as well the women, were forced to stand on tire tables to keep their feet dry. Lunches ,hRd beep prepared for seventy six on the, Rock Island train and 103 on I'nlon Pacific train No. t. These had been put In bags and were kept dry until the arrival of th trains, when they were given to the people on the cars and In the depot. The relief committee fed 7X4 Monday and guve clothing to a large number of these. Many also were cared for by the nurses and doctors. T)nse fed Monday mnke a grand total of 2.367 who have been fed since the camp wss started. Sew Problem to Face. A different proposition now confronts the relief committee. From present Indications no more full relief trains will come through, but ma.ny will come In on every regular train from the west s,nd ' these must have attention. Superintendent Mor ris is figurlok on some plan to divide the work among the women so that some will meet and prepare lunches for those coming In on each train. Mr. Morris has made arrangements with th railroad companies to wire hlin the number of people who will -want meals In Omaha and also the medical needs of the refugees on the various trains. .A special .train bearing refugees arrived on the I'nlon Pacific at 10:15. Monday morn ing, and In spite of the drlsfllng rain many of th faithful women of the city were on the faithful wamen of the city- -were on hand to see that they had plenty to eat, and to fit out the needy with clothes. . "Omaha and Evanston for me," said one of the unfortunates. "That was a little town, but they sat us down to r meal that would have made a man think he was In a swell notel. We hive bad plenty to eat all along the long Journey, but the thoughtfulness of ths Omaha people In providing us with a change 6f clothing Is most commendable. Bom -of the people hav not been ahl -to chang" their, un derwear and stockings. since .they, first put them on when aroused -from-their, slum bers by . the earthquake." ' Th City Steam laundry sent down a whole wagonload of unclaimed clothing, and the shirts and socks and handkerchiefs were most acceptable. This laundry also undertook to wash a wagonload of shirt andclothlng which had become'sotled by the rains ot't&sUat threek days'. ' ' ;V iLltOe Comedy Eaaeted. ',' A little comedy was thrown into the sit-' nation at th relief tents Monday . morn ing when M. Ball and B. Jacobson, two partners la the hotel business at 230 Powell street, San Francisco, who lost their hotel and al' their belongings by fire, except a grip of good clothes which Ball had been able to get out of the burning buildings, met. They went Into the hospital tent to get a pair of socks apiece and sat their grip near the door. One of the nurses, thinking this was a grip of clothing which had been sent down, emptied the contents onto the clothing plls. Two of th suits were new and had never bepn worn and worth $50 a piece.' These were Im mediately chosen by some in need of cloth ing, who then went out. Ball and Jacob son returned for their grip and found It empty. They immediately put up a howl and a search was made with the result the nurse remembered giving out the suits, Detectlv Drummy went Into the refugee camp for the clothes snd succeeded - In finding on suit. Ball and Jacobson were good naturvd about the matter and were soon fitted out with new shirts and cloth- Ing to replace those ost. Shoes are a scarce article and many pairs could be used to advantage. Soma of the men and women coming in have their shoes all burned and are badly 'In need of covering for their feet. ' The Northwestern took out 160 on a spe cial train and the rest will leave on th Milwaukee this evening. Omaha supplied lunches for those going on the special and the Northwestern will se they ara pro vided with coffee to go with the lunches, which will be distributed by th train crew.

BOYD DEAD (Continued ' friTm Page On.) for a tlm president of th Omaha Savings bank. . Mr. Boyd was selected as one of Douglas-county's representatives In the con stitutional convention of 1871, which made a proposed constitutjoSi that was rejected by popular, vote. , He was a delegate to the constitutional convention of 1875, which succeeded In framing a tollection of funda mental laws acceptable to the people.' and was chairman 'of the committee on rail roads In both assemblies. He claimed credit- for the "provision, authorizing the state legislature to regulate freight nates. In 1872 Mr. Boyd established the first pork packing house-In Omaha, the location being on the Missouri river a short distance south of-tihe L.'nUiti .l'aclfic bridge. The production . of the 'pianC".. was limited by Inability, to' get 'otrf:.. -About $160,000 was Invesped In. the rtyrpetstj, .which con sumed about 60.00 aslnvkls in the year be fore the plant'was destroyed by (Ira Jan uary 18. 1KK0. It was rebuilt on a larger scale and "m as packing 150,000 hogs annually when sold In 1897. BeglnalasT of Polltlral Career. , The real political career of Mr. Boyd began In. IS), - when.vsWvpubllo controversy over the kind of Wtttr torks system to be. .Installed Induce hint to accept the nomination as-lH)iiictSiiar' la th Sixth ward. He was supported by men who op posed th "Holly. arstPhl" of water works, which proposed to supply th city by direct pressure. Its opponents contended for a reservoir and part gravity system; and th antagonism was:; Intensified by re puted unsavory methods on the part of the Holly promoters. Although the ward was republican, Mr. Boyd, a democrat, was elected, and assisted in preventing th ob noxious water works contract and in re ducing ' the proposed .rental of fir hy drants from $100 to $M and $00 a year. He was legislated out of office in a year, which was to his liking, ss he did not care for th office nor th presidency of the council which he held. "Edward Rosewater Is responsible for my political life," said Governor Boyd. "He was th leader of the men who Induced me to go into the council to prevent the Holly deal and It was through his Influence that I was made mayor of Omaha the first tlm. I can truthfully aay that I never sought office. Not on of jny official acts was ever affected by political aspirations to b consummated In th future." HI Service a Mayor. H was nominated by th democrats- for mayor In 1RS1 and with th support of Th Bee succeeded in defeating his opponent, Isaac 8. Hascall. by three votes to one: Hts administration was very energetic and the foundation of th present system of - public Improvements, such as paving, sewers, sidewalks and th like, was laid. As mayor, Mr. Boyd visited many cities In the quest of information regarding mu nicipal work and endeavored to put what he consdered the best Ideas Into use here. H succeeded in effectually enforcing the law raising saloon licenses from $100 to $1,000 a year. In 1583 Mr. Boyd received the democratic vote In the legislature that elected General C. F. Manderson Cnlted States senator. Twa years later he accepted a non-partisan nomination for mayor and was elected by 150 votes in a bitter contest with Patrick Murphy, hla republican opponent. Mr. Boyd was a delegate to th national convention of 15S4, that nominated Grover Cleveland, and cast his vote for th Suc cessful contestant. He was made a mem be of the national committee of th demo cratic party from Nebraska and became one of the democratic leaders, If not th party leader In Nebraska, continuing In such sttitude for nearly ten years. He was a delegate to the national convention again In 188, and for the third time In 1892 when Cleveland was agam nominated. Offered a High Hoaor. "New York did not want Cleveland," said Mr. Boyd speaking of this last convention. "When the Illinois delegation went to the delegates from New York, who, after a passionate speech by Bourke Cochrsn, re fused to applaud the choice of the con vention, and consulted their wishes regard ing a vie presidential candidate, they sere told to go to hell. I am not saying they followed this advice, but in quest of vie presidential timber they waited on me and told m the honor mas mine If I wished It I replied that having been 'born In Ireland I could not hold office. Adlal Stevenson was nominated, and a you know, was elected." Mr. Boyd built what grew to b calld "Boyd's old opera house," at the north east corner of Fifteenth and Farnan streets In 1880-tl. It had a seating capacity of 1.700, and was a fins theater at that time. After all th famous contemporary players, singers nd musicians bad appeared In It, It was burned In the early nineties. Tho present Boyd theater a five-story brick building . t Seventeenth and Harney Streets, was completed and opened Septem ber 8. 18M.

Towers, th Farmers' alllanc snd reo ple' Independent candidate, and JM78 for K D. Richards, th republican candidate. The principal Issue of the contest wss a proposal to abolish liquor traffic by con stitutional amendment adversely voted upon. Mr. Poyd opposed prohibition. His Induction Into office wss turbulent, being contested and accomplished with difficulty, Powers' followers asserting there had been fraud and Intimidation, and the republican governor, John M. Thayer, endeavoring t retain his office on the ground thst Mr. Boyd was not eligible to serve as governor by res son of defects In Ma -cltisenshlp. The populist had a majority In Joint ses sion of the legislature end the returns Were canvassed and Mr. Boyd declared elected only after Speaker Klder had been served with a supreme court mandamus di recting htm to take proceedings towards this end. Mllltla occupied the corridors of th cspltol to quell disorder. After Governor Boyd had taken th oath and filed his bond. January 8. 1891, Governor Thayer refused to surrender the executive apartments, plsclng guardsmen areund th executive office to prevent eviction. He re mained In his office all night. Other state officers recognised Governjr Boyd, con vened as the State Board of Lands and Buildings and provided hlin with offices. where he proceeded to exercise th func tions of governor. 'Thayer did not vacate the premises until January 15. He brought quo warranto proceedings in the state su preme court to oust Boyd, holding that Boyd was Ineligible because both he and his father Were born in Ireland, and that, although the father may have taken out his first naturalization papers many years before, the naturalisation had not been completed when the son wss elected gov ernor of Nebraska; that the latter whenjf elected was an alien, not naturalised by I any court and not eligible to participate In the rights of cltisenshlp. Thayer's conten tion wss sustained In the. state supreme court. Judges Norvall and Cobb making the decision and Judge Maxwell dissenting. The decision was handed down May 5 and Governor Boyd surrendered the office - to Thayer, who procured a writ of ouster. Boyd took the case to the I'nlted States supreme court on a writ of error. Febru ary 1, 18S2. the United States supreme court reversed the decision of the Nebraska su preme court and declared Boyd eligible to the office, both because his rights as a clti- sen were established when the state was admitted and by his prior unquestioned assumption and execution of th privi leges and responsibilities of a citizen. Governor Thayer agnln surrendered the office to Governor Boyd, and February 8 the latter was reinstated to serve out his term. The contest and the court decisions evoked make one of the most Interesting chapters in Nebraska's' political history. Baslnes In Later Years. After retiring from the governorship Mr. Boyd devoted most of his time to conduct ing his grain commission offices In Omaha. St. Louis and Chicago. He remained, how ever, a factor In the democratic party. He refused to embrap the Bryan monetary teachings and from the campaign of 1896 on was classed as a "gold democrat." In 1902 he retired from active business. The following year he was appointed by Gov ernor Mickey as a member of Omaha's first municipal Water board, created for th purpose of supervising the acquirement of the water works system by th city and Its management. His confreres united upon him for chairman of thej board, deeming him the best suited for leadership because of hi long participation in public affairs. All Wru.
