AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Republican Rally at Workman Temple Attracts Large Crowd. MUCH ENTHUSIASM MANIFEST Labor Organisations Denoance Some of the Demorritlc Campaign State meats II oks t.o A bore the Fire-Dollar Mark. The rally of the republicans at the Work men temple last night was a- success In every way. The seats were filled and many people were standing at the rear. Only the local candidates were present. Each of the candidates for the city council and the Board of Education was called upon to express his views on the questions of the campaign. Several women were present and enjoyed the meeting greatly. II. O. Klddoo and E. D. Wlers were the first speakers and they emphasised the merits of a clean' and efficient school system for the city. T. Q. Rice was not present, hav ing been hurt accidentally yesterday after noon. C. C. Howe was called and he took oc casion to deny the charge, against him that he had employed nonunion men In his shops, or that he favored nonunion men In any way. He said It came with poor grace from the democrats, who had patron ized an Omaha firm which was notoriously opposed to .union- men. In the purchase of the city hall furniture. He said the city council should be made up of men of ability; mm who knew how to do things. Charles Offerman declared that the re sults of Ignorance In affairs of the city were Just as bad as malice. It was im portant, lie said, that competent men be elected to the offices. Frank Dworak quoted at some length tho record of the last republican council, show ing that the city had risen from penury to a surplus of over $20,000 In its finances In one term of good management. At the same time the city had built a new fire hall out of the savings without any bonds, the same costing ?J0,000. This the city should be proud of. The other members of the council ex pressed themselves fittingly and asked the suffrages of the pdople. Jay Williams promised a fair and Im partial assessment of the city property. O. K. Paddock asked the support for the of fice of treasurer. Charles Mann asked for support for the head of the ticket. Mr. Koutsky told why he had been Induced to run again for mayor, stating that he had made no fight before the primaries to win the office. A. C. Pancoast attacked the statements of the administration that they knew noth ing of the charter clause demanding the presentation of a tax certificate, and proved from the minutes of the meeting that Hoc tor was present, as well as J. J. Breen and John MacMlllan, and that he voted for the measure twice at the meeting before It was taken to Lincoln and passed. Hoctor has publicly denied this In a letter. Pancoast also quoted from the decision of Judge Kennedy In the district court in the Bouts Omaha case Involving the Omaha Water company's assessment, showing thut the decision was rendered on account of an error of the tax commissioner and not be cause the assessment was too high. Then he commissioner reduced the assessment over $300,000, but this was never ordered by the court. H. C. Murphy and A. II. Murdock electri fied the audience with appeals for good government In the city and wakened much enthusiasm at the close of the meeting. The meeting adjourned at 10 p. m. The next big rally will be held April 6 In the same hall. Ward meetings will be held In various parts of the city. The headquarters are always open. Record and Pledarea Compared. As the time of the spring election ap proaches the republican city central com mittee Is anxious to present numerous matters to the consideration of the voters of the city. They wish to call attention to the record which the present administration has made and compare It to the platform pledges on which, they were elected, and also compare conditions under the repub lican administration previous. Mayor Hoc tor stated In his platform that he did not favor vacating streets without full value in money consideration. Th administra tion gave up the paved alley, 'paving stone and all, to the Union Pacific to accommo date the new freight depot on the alley below the O street viaduct. It also vacated a portion of a street to the Gate City mult works. No remuneration to the city was ever received. The mayor also demanded that the fire hydrants be removed from the right-of-way of certain railroads. Tho hydrants still remain and the city pays rentals on them still. The admlnlstiatlon was to havei demanded a bond from all the banks which received the city funds, but the money Is all on deposit In banks and is secured by the Individualcredit of the banks. Much capital was made out of the abve propositions In the last campaign. The democrats have these pledges still unredeemed. Position of Union Labor. "Give the calf rope and he will liana himself," Illustrates tire latest fatal mis take of the democratic campaigners In South Omaha. Catching the cue from the one-man torpedo" sprung at the recent republican convention In Omaha the South Omaha politicians seized on the card of "Union Labor" and quoted In advance sentiments, resolutions and bitter denuncia tion of the whole republican party, na tionally and locally; placing words In the mouths of organizations in a most reckless and hazardous manner. Now the labor men have turned and in the following com munications flail the life out of those mis representations. The man designated the official committee to present the com munication of the Carpenters and Jolnera' union said: We unlyn men can't afford to mingle In a partisan strife, neither locally nor na tionally. Our members are of all political persuasions and beliefs. If even a ma jority favored such a course, we would lose the other half or nearly half of our members. We can't afford to lose them. We will continue to work In the ranks of the workingmen as a whole and certainly we will not assist in pulling the chestnuts out of the fire for any cowardly poli tician. Let the men who want the offices prove themselves worthy, and man to man we will support them, but not as a union, which has nothing to do with politics. The following extracts are from the min utes of the Carpenters and Joiners' union: In a regular meeting or L,oeal union 79, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, held March 25, the following resolution was adopted: Whereas, The Impression has gone out that organised labor of tiouth Omaha Is, as a body, hostile to the republican ticket at the coming city election; and; Whereas, We, the members of this or- f;anlsailon, believe that this lmprculon las been given out for political purpose, and not to further the Interest of organ ised labor of this city; and. Whereas, This local union has taken no action In regard to the political situa tion In this present campaign; now, there fore, be It Resolved. That this local Union does hereby disown any publication that would tend to place tills union on record as favoring any party or candidate whatso ever, and hereby declares that each mem ber Is left free to vote according t-j his own personal convictions, without Inter ference or dictation from this organiza tion: and be It further llesolvcd. That a copy of these resolu tions be furnished the Omaha World Horsld. The Omaha Bee. the Omaha Daily News, the Nehraska Pally Democrat and the Hnuth Omaha Citizen, with a request that they he printed to the end hat this union be set right before the public. Another proot that tho democrats have fired thrlr hail-rammed "wad" 'In the air, brina-lng down little thunder and no rain. Is shown hy the following communication from local union No. MO. Brotherhood of Tainters, Decorstors and Faperhangers of America, and addressed to the Omaha World-Herald: SOUTH OMAHA. March 25,-To the Omaha World-Herald: In your morning Issue of the 24th you give great prominence to some misstatements concerning the" painters' union of this city. This union Is not a political organization, and no action has been taken whatever regarding the approaching city election, nor will nny be taken.

Iloaa on the I'ptarn. Two lots of hogs sold yesterday at $5.10, which la the highest yet paid for this year. The bulk of sales went at about $5. Receipts for tho week have been more lib eral than last year at the same period. The men of greatest experience about the yards are a little nonplussed as to the cause of the general rise In prices, not only In hogs, but In cattle and sheep. The best beef sold at $7 and the best lambs at $3.05. AH the commission and stock men who expressed themselves on the matter said yesterday they hoped the rise was the result of permanent conditions. but all were Inclined to be cautious. The prices of cattle and sheep were more eas ily explained, for the supply has been short all the season and the demand for good stock keen. At all events, the gen eral high prices are considered by the majority as Indicating the return of pros perity to the country. y In pork products the prices, after they reached the $4.50 mark. Jumped so rap Idly as almost to take the breath out of the old-timers. It Is suggested that at the greater centers some heavy speculation may be In progress and the market Is being "bulled" at present. It Is explained that much capital has been diverted from stocks and bonds and securities since the flurry of the fall and Is seeking Invest ment In pork, beef, grain and other tan gible products. It Is apparent that the packers, locally. are bearing the market as hard as they can. The buyers hold off to the minute before closing a deal. The shippers and speculators have often slipped In ahead of the packers of late. This makes a rather unsatisfactory market, owing to the slowness. The packers say that as soon as the general rise was apparent the farmers and country shippers became bullish on the market and began to with hold their consignments for higher, prices. as soon as tne market turns again, thenJ tllA runh In ..1 In K.a U i . 1 w n nv. . w . vj i no uei;iiiio la great, will cause a big slump. Another reason for the higher prices Is the mild winter which has made It possible to win ter stock cheaply on tho ranges and In the hog raising districts. Now the breed ing season Is on, the farmers are not par ticular about marketing any more. Tho spring work la beginning and this will also hold up the supply. While the sup ply for the week has been greater than last year. It has fallen orf considerably from the heavy runs of January and Feb ruary. Stork Sfe.i are Pleased. T. B. McPherson, A. F. Stryker and Jay Laverty of the South Omaha exchange. and E. P. Meyers of Hyannls, Neb., a large shipper or stock and vice president of, the Western Nebraska Stock Growers' associ ation, composed the delegation which went with Governor George L. Sheldon to Wash ington to lay the matter lof the Nebraska quarantine before Secretary Wilson. The reports which came yesterday morning, to the effect that the delegation had been suc cessful In every request, were received with much favorable comment. The commission men were Inclined to be conservative and wait the return of the delegates before giv ing unlimited, scope to their expressions. The question of the quarantine Involves so many details that,. It Is felt that many ad justments In minor matters will yet have to be arranged. It had long been felt that a settlement of the different matters In dispute would not be reached before a del egation was sent to Washington, but It wns also confidently predicted as soon as this should be done the points at variance would all be adjusted at once. Inspecting; the Yards. James Held, gereral superintendent of the Union Stock yards of Minneapolis and St. Paul, was at the South Omaha yards yesterday making a critical examination of the local yards. Ills object was to get pointers for the Improvement of the yards In the northern city. He reported that since the northwest had begun to develop, the market at St. Paul and Minneapolis had doubled Its rapacity every two or three years. It was almost Impossible to keep abreast with the growth of the market. Many Improvements are contemplated. Historical Society Meeting:.

The semi-annual meeting of the Men's club of the First Congregational church was held Thursday evening at that church. ith a big attendance. The dinner was served by the women of the churcb. Frank Crawford, president of the club, acted as toastmaster. The opening address was made by Harley G. Moorehead on the ques tion of good citizenship. In which he held that such clubs as this were capable of great things In promoting good citizenship. nd that after all the character of city government was only that which the com munity exacted and demanded. Rev. F. T. Rouse introduced the principal speaker of the evening, Rev. George L. McNutt, who took as his subject the Lord's prayer, dwelling upon the appeal of "Give us this day our dally bread." He Illustrated his subject with a loaf of bread as typical of every human want. "Let us not forget the hand that glveth us these things," said Mr. McNutt. "Let us not overlook the thankfulness due Him for Ills many mercies and for the extravagance of His powers and grace In ministering to our every want and need." At the conclusion of the speechmaklng President Crawford appointed Dr. Mason, Gorton Roth and Mr. Usher 'as a nomi nating committee to present names for the new officers of the club to be elected next Sunday evening.

Mr. Edwin H. Lemare, the eminent Eng lish organist, gave a recital. Mr Lemare Is one of the great concert organists of today and Is probably the most conspicuous In the English field. He is quiet and unostentatious In his style of playing and is absolutely free from tho mannerisms which are so distracting In many concert and church organists. Mr. Lemare being an Englishman and completely orthodox, opened the program with a Bach prelude and fugue. No Eng lishman would ever open an organ recital without a Bach fugue any more than he would go through a day without a cup of tea. But let It be said of the fugue and Its playing that It was one of the most In teresting In point of Illustrating Its parent age, and had the late lamented Johann Sebastian Bach heard It played last night he would have been satisfied to turn over again and sleep, knowing that he was per fectly safe In the hands of Mr. Lemare.
