EPIC OF THE JIMS AND JACKS
Like True Warriors Bold in the Days
of Old
BOTH CAMPS GO IN F0& BLOOD
Dryaa Tnkes Frlakt and la the Xlabt
Sends Word to Stop the Flsht
Lest His flood Name
, Be Mad.
This Is the epic of the Jacks snd the
Jims, the two distinguished factions of
the democratic party In the metropolis of
Mr. Bryan's home state where union and
harmony doth prevail (not) and where one
of the most intensely bitter fratricidal con
flicts Is raging. It has spread to other
states and shied Its' castor Into the srena
of national politics. . So Impressed Is Mr,
Bryan with the gravity, of the situation
that he, lt.li said, sent to Omaha his good
friend, W. H. Thompson, of Grand Is and,
the "Little Giant," to sue for peace be
tween the contending camps. Mr. Thomp
son prosecuted his suit at the Paxton hotel
Saturday, meeting first Lee Herdinsn of
the Jacks and then Mayor Dahlman of the
Jims. And then Saturday night the Jacks
and Jims held separate meetings and as a
result of that suit for peace, the Jims
named a delegate slate which the Jacks
spurned and each swore eternsl enmity
and vengeance on the other and so the
Jacks and Jims, Ilk! Etruscans and Rom
ans of old, are In the midst of deadly con
flict on the bridge of union which is sure
to fall leaving the Tiber of discord aa
eternal chasm between.
Good Mayor Jim of Omaha by sixteen to
one he swore that the great house of Dahl
man would suffer wrong no more. By six
teen to one he swore It and named a tryst
lng day and bade his messengers ride forth,
east and west and south and north to
summon his array. East and west and
south and north the messengers ride
fast till every mad Jasksonian has
heard the trumpet's blast. Shame on
the false Jlmsonlan who lingers In
his place when Colonel James of Omaha
Is leading on the race.
Delegates and candidates are pouring
In, yes thick from many a goodly polling
place, from many a bailiwick, from many
a lowly precinct, home of Pat and Mike
and Tim, sounds the battle cry, far and
nigh, cheering on our dauntless Jim.
-
There be thirty chosen prophets, tho
wisest of the band who always by Colonel
Dahlman both morn, and evening stand;
evening and morn the thirty have turned
the speeches o'er, spake by the right and
might of him who owns the clubhouse
floor. And with one voice the thirty are
their glad answer cryln'i "Go forth, go
forth, Noblo Leader, go forth beloved of
Bryan; go and return In glory to Omaha's
city hall and hang 'round Dahlman's altar,
the Jacksonlans, club and all."
And now hath every precinct sent up her
tale of men, delegates four score dozen,
candidates dozens ten. Before the Little
Giant, Is met this great array; a proud
man was noble James upon his trysting
day. For all the Dahlman warriors were
rsnged beneath his eye and many a sick
Jacksonlan and marry a stout ally; and
with a mighty following to Join the muster
came the faithful Tommy Allen with, cush
to boost the game.
But out Into the cohnty was tumult
and affright; from all the smaller vil
lages to Omaha men took their flight
A mile around the city the throng stopped
up the ways; a fearful" sight it was to
see this fratricidal craze.
I wis In all Nebraska there was no
heart so cold, but sore it ached and fust
It beat when this 111 news was told.
Forthwith up rose the Peerless Bryan,
up rose democrats all: In haste they
sped to stop the strife and ,savo the
party's fall. They held council
promptly at tiro Paxton hotel; short time
was there ye well may guess glevances
now to tell. First spoke up the Little
Giant: "The Jacks must come across,
for since W. J. sent me here none else
but me can boss."
Just then a Jack came flying all wild
with haste and fear: "To arms, to arms,
Lee Herdman, Lariat Jim is here." On
the low hill to westward Lee Herdman
fixed his eye and saw the dauntless hero
come so fast he seemed to fly. And
nearer fast and nearer doth the dreaded
foeman come,, and louder still and still
more loud from underneath the rolling
cloud Is heard the trumpet's war-note
proud, a trampling and a hum. And
plainly and more plainly now through
the gloom appears, far to the left and
far to the right, in broken gleams of
dark-blue light a long array of banners
bright, to rouse Jacksonlan fears. And
plainly and rnore plainly above the
gleaming line . now might ye see -the
brosd, slick pate of brave Jim Dahlman
shine. But the likeness of W. J. was
highest of them all, the terror of the
Jacks and Jims, the terror of them all.
And plainly and more plainly, nor need
the Jacks surmise that Jims In sight
meant naught but fight and never com
promise.
There Louie Plattl and Reagan In the
front rank were seen and big Dan But
ler of monstrous shield, armed with a
club none else could wield; Morcarlty
with base ball bat, and John Mahoney,
big and fat, stood out against the field.
Fast by the royal standard o'erlooklng
all the rest is Mayor Jim of Omaha, the
bravest and the best. By his right hand
comes George Rogers, prince of the Dahl
man band: and by his left Gil Hitch
cock, who quit the Jackson clan, f

but screamed out, "Trimmer," and shook
his mighty fist. But the Herdman brow
was sad and the Herdman speech was
slim, and darkly looked he at the Jacks
and darkly at our Jim: "His gang will
be upon us before the bridge goes down,
and If they once may reach the bridge
what hope to save the town.
Then out spake Horatlus Cos (trove, the
leader of the Jacks: "We'll show these
cowboys how to fight; the'y must be full
of tacks, fie on their Peerless Leader
who never won a race, but lost a pair
of them and Is a third to face. Bring
on your vaunted cowboys, Jim", quickly
ss you may; I with two more to help
me will clean you out this day. You
and your whole Democracy may well be
stopped by three. Now, who will stand
5h either hand and wallop this gang
with me?"
Then out spake . I. Jehovah Dunn, an
ex-county Dem was he: '"Lo. I will
stand at thy right hand and wallop this
gang with thee." And out spake Martins
Hippie of the Water board was he: "I
will abide on thy left side and wallop
this gang with thee."
"Horatlus Coagrove," quoth the Jack
sons, "as thou sayest so let It be." And
straight against that great array forth
went the dauntless three. For Jacksons In
Jacks' quarrels spared neither time nor
words, nor gave a rap for Votes foriBryan
at scrspplng they were birds. "
Now, Dem'crat Is to Dem'crat more sav
age than a Hon, -and the Bryanlte beards
the antl and the antl knocks the Bryan.
As they wax hot In faction In battle they
wax cold, wherefore they fight Just as
they fought In the silver days of old.
Meanwhile the Dahlman army, right
glorious one and all, came flashing back
the bold defy, man behind man, ready to
die, but not to falter or to fall. Four
hundred trumpets sounded a peal of war
like glee as that great host wlfh cowboy
yell, with ropes aloft, came down pell mell,
rushed madly on, determined to quell the
boasts of the dauntless three.
The three stood calm and silent snd
kioked upon the foes, and a great shout
of laughter from the Jlmsonlans rose, and
forth three v Jacks came spurring before
that great array; at Jims they sprang,
hot words they threw, and lifted high their
heads and crew at the Dahlmans In dismay.
Anheuser smote down Abbott; Hayward
laid Hippie low; right to the snoot of
O'Connor Cosgrove sent a blow. "Lie
there," he cried, "fell cowboy. No more
your lariat cast, from Dahlman's walls the
crowd shall mark tho track of thy reckless
bark. No more Jacksonlan pride shall feel J
tho force and shame of thy pressing heel,
thy twice defeated Bllljay."
Then flinging far his good rope, straight
at the leader bold. Brave Jim caught Hod
Cosgrove and cinched him clean and cold.
With twist and tug Horatlus desperately
tried to break, the cinch, the rope, but all
In vain; Jim had him fast, no use to strain.
The Dahlmans now In glad refrain sang
out to see Fred quake. He tugged and
to Lee Herdman cried out In sheer despair;
then, like a wildcat mad with wounds,
made a dive for Dahlman's hair. Through
glove and hat and helmet so fierce his
right he led, but though his strength freed
him at last he struck a hairless head.
And here tho conflict pausetn
I'ntil tonight again,
When the Jacks will meet
On Farnam street.
To name three leading men
To fight It out
And pur to rout
Jim and all his ken.
STILL ON ECONOMY TALK
Omaha Road OUclals Meet Men
Aicnln on How to Save
Money.
FT E. Nicola, superintendent of the Ne
brsska division of the Omaha road; George
W. ' Carter, who has been chief Inspector
and "passenger public," and Cole Yeoman,
brakeman of the Bloomfield line of the
company, have "returned to Omaha from
Spooner, Wis., where a meeting of the em
ployes was held Sunday.
Mr. Nlcols said the meeting had no sig
nificance, but that the Wisconsin employes
heard talks about practicing more rigid
economy than they have ever practiced be
fore. Lyman Slides, division passenger
and freight agent, said the revenue of the
company, had been cut down materially,
but the Omaha road was far from being as
poor as "some other roads."
Trainmen have been, captioned Mil the
matter of making work for the claim de
partment, the company having paid big
losses during the last few years. Agents
recelrtjlng for goodB, not In first class con
dition and not full count, was another
feature of the discussion. Keeping the
passenger coaches closed In cold weather
was said to be good economy, as a train
will burn a ton of coal more simply In
heating the cars on a run of 100 miles
when the doors ae left open.

PRESIDENT A MODERN ISAIAH
Jewish Habbl Commends Latest liter.
aaces of Roosevelt on
Finance.
BOSTON, ,' Mass., Feb. .-Presldent
Roosevelt was characterized as an "Ameri
can Isaiah" by Kabbl Charles Flcischner
In an address on "The Moral Heart of
Life" at the Temple Israel today. He
said In part:
The president Is reported to have said
recently that every time he repeated
"Thou shall not steal," there Is a finan
cial panic. Be that ss It may, I, who am
no out-and-out supporter of the presi
dent's policies, bail his last utterance as
that of an American Isaiah. Its moral
fervor Is worthy of a Jewish oronhet.
that of a statesman haunted by the Ideal.
It Is high lime the world of finance be
gan to tealise that "business Is business"
was not among rne moral maxims re
vealed on Mount Slnal. Business is more
Uian that. 11 Is tiie means of conducting
rlshtly or wrongly, ethically or unethi
cally, the material affairs of men.

The Knock-out Blow.
The blow which knocked out Corbet!
was a revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the Jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown In to worry and
weary the fighter, but If a scientific man
bad told one of the old fighters that the .
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd hare laughed at him
for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce is bringing
