1 % i | | 2 NEAKLY ENDED IN A ROW. An Bxeltlug Incident in the Iowa Prohibition Convention. WEAVER ROASTS A CHAPLAIN, Ttev. Mr. Lozier Refers to the Noted Greenbacker in Uncompli- mentary Terms and Is Taken to Task. The General Was There. Drs Moixes, In., Jan. 9.—[Special Tele- gram to 'U'ne Bre, ] —The prohivitionists held their state convention here today to stiffen up the spine of the legisiature on the prohi« bition question. They were not as numerous or as rampant as had been expected. A large number of them were clergymen, and the procecdings moved on more like a Mothodist wvonference than a mass convention. Cries of ‘‘Amen" wero heard very frequently and the spoakers referred to each other as brethren, nnd the ministerial spirit permeated the at mosphere. The general talk was against any repeal or modification ot the law. Some of the speakers were inclined to e dictatorial and threaten the republican but the most of them showed moderation, There was one exciting incident not down on the programme. The permancnt chair- man of t onvention was Judge Weaver of lowa I who attésted his devo- tion to prohibition when . the law was first passed by being carried with n broken leg to the capital to vote for 1t, he bewng u member of the legislature at the time, Chaplain Lozier, who is a red hot republican of the excitaple zo-off-at-half-cock order, jumped up this afternoon in a burst of enthusinsm und proposed three cheers for the chairman, calling him General Weaver. Ho used the werd general” two or three times, bud was corrected by a delegate, who said: *'You mean Judge Weaver,” *Yes, of course, T mean Judge Weaver,'' was the reply, “and 1 thunk Goa it is't General Weaver.” ‘T'he noted greenbacker happened to bo sitting in the auaience, but a few feet away, and wss It protty hard, but he bided his time, A hit- tle luter, when speeches were being’ made by delegates, General Weaver took the platform and said that while he didn't agree With all of the members on some questions, he did agree with them on probi- bition, and was willing to work with them even if he had to associate h that man over there pointing at Lozier|, who had a short time before insulted the audieuce. Then he proceeded to roast the chaplain in & air-raising style. The old man tried to jump to his feet for a reply, but his friends pulled him down, and the chairman called for the next speaker. But the way thes eminent prohibitionists glured at each oth was ot caleulated to bear out the general uppearance ot a love feast with which the meeting began. ‘I'he resolutions adopted congratulate the friends of temperance in lowa that the sighth state convention meets aftor 8o su. - cessful an experience of the present prohibi- tory stutute; congratulates the neighboring Atates on the formation of &n interstate tem- perance association; North and South Da- kiota on comiog into the union free from the legalized saloon; New Hampshire on a chief magistrate who nsiets on the discharge of thejr duty by the suborainate oficers of the state; the Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union and other state temerance or- ganizations on their judicious and noble work, and communitics “where the law has been nullified on the cheering progress toward its enforcement. We hold to be the pre~ eminent auty of the members of this conven- tion, and all fricads of temperance, home and the state, to consecrate their personal efforts to the reform of the intemporate and the prevention of intemperance, and to labor durnestly until ail institutions of society are absolutely and, permanently freed from its influence in every form, Governments aro formed for the protection of life, health and property, and to secure the blessings of civil und religious hberty, and whatsoever is ae- structive of them 13 essentially a crime. Experienco has demonstrated beyond ron- wouable controvers; that the manufac- ture und sale of intoxicating ligubrs a8 a beverage, and the establishment #und keeping of places of resort where intoxicating hquors are sold and persons in- duced to ucquire the habit of drinking, 18 destructive of life and health; is a direct and prolific cause of pauperism, insanity and crime, and the states should declaro the sume a crime and prescribe such punish- ments as will effctually eradicate the evil. The sovereignty of the state of lowa does, and of richtought to, extend to every county, township and school district. We are op- posed to the disintegration of its power, It 18 not consistent with the dignity of the state or the right of adwministration of justico towecognize that an act shall be sriminal in oue part of the state and legal in another. Local nullification of the law furnishes no reason for its repeal, but should be met by the prompt enforcement uand enactment of all nec-ssary legislation to secure the #ame. Crime should never be licensed, We regard all devices of local option or high Jicense as mere subterfuges for the tolera- tion of crimo und are unalterably opposed to the same. It is not the purpose of this con- vention to organize a political party or create Hnorganization in tha interest of any party or faction, but we recognize the fact that leng.mmu.unn can only be secured und en- forced through legislutures and officers chosen by the people, and we further declaro that it is not only the privilege but the duty of every citizen favoring prohibition to make his infiuence felt and recognized at the polls. Ihe present prohibitory law was enacted in obedience to the demands of the people, and has been a blessing wherever it has been fuithfully enforced, and weare opposed 10 any repeal or impairment of the samo. ‘We are conflaent that the people of lowa, by 8 large majority, are still iu favor of the law, aud we have confidence that the Twenty third general assembly will not repeal or fmpair 1ts efliciency, and we deem it duo both to ourselves and all whom it may con- cern to declare that our continued contidence lnfl.tup{bun ocan only be retained by the truthful maintenance and enforcement of this law, Congress is asked to amend the interstate commerce law 80 a8 to prohibit the importa~ tion of liquors into prohibition states, excopt in conformity with state regulations; also to amend the internal revenus law so as to prohibit the sale of revenue stamps to liquor dealers in probibition states, except to such ue aro authorized by state law. The action of Senator Wilson and Congressman Kerr 4n this direction is commended. In view of the fearful destruction of life, loss of wealth aud injury to the morais and well being of the people by toe sale and use of intoxicat- luT liquors, congress is asked to ap- point & ‘eommission to thoroughly in- vestigate the question and publish, for the wformation of the people a report of tho facws ascertained. She failure of certain public ofticers specifically charged with the enforcement of the prohibitory law to per- form their duties is condemuned. Governor Larrabee is warmly commended for the *firm sud consistent position tuken by kim in our probibitory laws while holding the office he NOW vacates. ‘The state central committee this afternoon elected the following officers: 1), M. Fox, chairman; George W. Wood, secretary; J. H, Niblock, treasurer. The watter of the policy of‘the couvention was referred to the executive committee, consisting, besides the mbove ofticers, of J, W, Clinton' and P. P, MeCaughnany. The Vacant Judgeship, MasoN Crry, Ia, Jan. 9.—|Special to Wue Bee|—The question as to who Is to succeed O, P. Shiras as judge of the United States distriot “court for the northiern district of Iowa, s receiviog full aittention, and there seems to be a disposi- tiop plainly discernible to put only the best amnan the distrigt ¢ffords in the position. It 4s thbé universal expression that Judge Bhiras, through his fitness for the position, ‘woula make a worthy successor to Judge Mrewer i tho United States circuit court, but Judge Rothrock may yet become a can- @idate, and in that event neithor will have a :nlnwu. But 1 the event of Judge sbives’ selection, several candidates are tioned ‘for the vacancy. Awmong the rber.m;; w?hcalnnal Jed Lake of ndependence, who for many years has U one of the most prominent law- tate. He was first L \be | h? into inen thoughout the Bt i o i 4 drive-well monopoly. Craig L. Wright of Sionx City 14 also a candidate, He 18 & son of Judge George G, Wright of Des Moines, an ex-United States senator and ex-chief justice of the Towa supreme coumt. Mr. Wright 18 a gradunte of the lowa State uni raity, and in_ 1870 formed a partnership th Mr. Joy of Sioux Cit, He was later a member of the firm of Joy, Wright & Hunte: but for the past three years has been alor 0 his practice, He is reqarded as a good Inwyer, a wise counselor, and is_well quali fied for the position. Among others who are recoiving favorable mention but who are not ive candidates is Richara Wilber of ‘this He is a graduate of Union college, w York, and for the past thirty year: beon in continuous practice in this state. He is one of the very best read lawyers in tha west, and will ba a strong candidate. ‘The north part of the state has good claims on the ofice. Dubuque now has the United states senator, congressman, district judge and clerk of - the circuit court; Fort Dodgo has the federal court and district attorney, while Sioux City has the federal court and United States attorney. Should the north vart of the district unite on Mr. Wilber nhe could easily receive the appointment. Allison's Headgnarters Opened. Des Moixes, Ta., Jan. 0.—|Special Tele- gram to Tak Bre.]|—The statesmen have come in very numerously today, nearly a majority of the legislature now bong here. Sonator Allison’s headquarters were opened today by his friends, although he will not be here for a day or two. His canvass goes on very smoothly and no signa of trouble are visible. Senator Finn ot Taylor county, who has been counted 80 wany times as doubtful and not likely to vote for Allison, has practically announced that he will sup- port Allison. ~So there is not a republican in the legislature who is likely to vote against Allison, and he couid have the votes of some independents and democrats if he needed them. His managers are very hapy tonight, and the opposition is thoroughly flattened out. Mr. Luko of Franklin is the latest addition to the candidates for speaker, and 18 developing much strength. The hotel lobbies are crowded with members and “can- didates for the minor positions. Governor Boies has bad a slight attack of the grip. It is not serious and he will prob- ably come here Saturday or Sunday. Tho democrats have given up all hopes of organ- izing the house, aud seem to have lost their nerve on all party matters.

BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE The Beef Slaughtered in Omaha For Local Oonsumption, SOLD AT THE LOWEST PRICES, An Emphatic Denial of the State- ment That a Higher Grade of Meat I8 Obtainable Elsewho But Little Meat is Inported. The belief has been provalent for somo time that beef is higher in Omaha than i Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and other western cities; also that a botter quality is obtainable from these sources, and s a con- sequence the leading hotols of the city are availing themselves of this advantage in both quatity and price, and importing their Careful mvestigation develops the of this belief. Adam Snyder, a leading butcher, says that not ouly cattle, but hogs and sheep as well, on foot, bring within n small fraction of Chicago prices at the packing houses in South Omaha, He also says that it is ab- surd to claim that tho prices hiere are as high as they are in the cities of the Atlantic seaboard. "Prime cuts, short ribs and short sirion, tenderlom and like grades, cost nearly one-third less hero in the reiail mar- ket than they do in New York and Boston or the other large cities ot the eastern and New England states, The vrice here ranges from 12'5 cents to 17 cents a pound, while in . the markets above mentioned the' schedule Tuns up anywhere from 35 to 45 cents per pound. As 10 the prices now compared with what they were prior to the establishment of South Omaha's extensive packing houses, Mr, Snyder says they are fully 40 per cont cheaper, while the quality is 100 per cont bet- ter, ana that no city in the United States is furnished with better meat than Omana When asked why the leading hotels im- ported 80 much of their beef he said that this idea was erroneous; that thoy imported but little meat from abroad, and what they did im- port was no better than that which they could get here, but by some mcans they were enabled to save from a cont tu a cent and a quarter, which to them amounts w a good ueal, Hesaid this decrease in price, however, could only be brought about by the use of inferior meat—that it was impos- sible to gt Omaba's best grades at either Chicago or KKansas City any cheaper, or even as cheap as they could buy it right heve. He also said that the hotels only 10 rare in- stances used the best meat, but the clubs, the Omaha Elks, Union and Metropolitan, use nothing but the very beat, for which they pay the top price. “To be sure,” he added, “some of the best beef in the world is killed at Chicago, but it 1s not con- sumed there, no more than 1t 18 in the Owaha hotels, but is shipped to New York and Boston, the latter city having the reputation of vsing the very best beef of any city in the country. There is fine beef kiiled at South Omaha, too, as fine as anywhere, but not so much of it; yet they cut us good beef here as in Chicago for home consumption, and at a much lower price, Just now Omaha's beef is 100 per cent better than ever before.” Samuel Dreifuss, at Harris & Fisher's old stand, expressed views similar to the above adding that the reason some of the hoteis import their beef from Chicago and Kansas City 18 because the retail dealers here kick strenuously against the wholesalers supply- ing them at retail prices, Mr., Murkell of the Millard stated that they bought all their beef of Armour & Cua- ady of Kansas City, simply because they not only got a better quality but at lower rates than they could buy here. Their meats came to them once a week by refrigerator cars. He also sald that the Millard only used the best of short ribs and short sirloins, and the dealers here would not cut 1t that way for thein; hence they saw prover to go where they could get what they wanted, They make their contracts by the year. and their present contract cxpires on the 15th, when, if they can get things to snit them, they would prefer to buy here. The Paxton gets its beef of Armour & Cudaby, at South Omaha, save small lots of especially fine tenderloins, which they get from Chicago. The South Omana meat, however, on the wnole, they prouounce as good as any thoy can get elsewhere, and just as cheap, 1f not cheaper. ‘The Murray is suvplied with its meats by Adam Snyder, and they are found to be in every way satisfactory, even better 1n many instunces than the meats they formerly im-~ ported. In conversation with South Omaha pack- ing house mavagers and men engaged 1n packing products some interesting facts were learned. Some wholly discredit the stateweunt, while others, with more knowl~ edge or frankness, admit that there is some truth 1o the statement, but wholly different in tenor from the in- ference itended to be conveyed. “There are 140 # retail meat markets in Omaha,” said one of the men high up in packing house authority and information, “and they distribute among the 130,000 of Omaba people from 350 to 360 beeves each week, each averaging 575 bounds; 500 sheep averaging 60 pounds; 5,000 pounds of pork loins, 30,000 pounds of sausage, 25,000 pounds of haws and shoulders, 40,000 pounds of bacon and pork, and while there has been some meat received from both Chicago and Kansas City, and I presume some still is being received, yet it is very small. One Kansas City bouse was sbipping to Omaha before South Omaha packers bogan supply the-local murket, and the same was true with Libby & McNeal of Chicago, who wish of course to stll retain their trade. 2 3 *“The open competition 1n this market, both in buying in the yards on hoof and 1 the retail trade, completely aunswers the charge of high prices. The aply way this cun be expluined otber than tlie perverse- ness of an occasional person who would buy in Chicago or elsewhere even at a higher price, 18 that Libby & McNeal, in buying their large lots of cattle for canning pur- poses, paying from $L.25 to $1.75, can pull many of the loins and ship to Omasha and sell at.a price to compete with local killings, but even this must be only a small fraction of the meat used, and does not cut the least figure in the market. *“The people of Omaha now, unlike a very few yoars ugo, can get the very best meats a8-good as is put on any market in the coun- try. The fact is that some of the $5.10 steers killed av the packing houses in De- cember were sent to Omaha and were put on the market at a lower prica than the, same quality of meat could be gotten from Chicago.” Another packing house man stated that to get the hotel trade he bad given Omaha butchers such rates that outsiders could not ship meats in and compete, and yet the butcher was able to make a_profit. “No,” sald this last gentleman positively, *‘there is no real truth in the matter, Buyers can get any amount or quality they desire, and we sell to the retail merchants so that they may seli to hoteisund consumers us cheap as the same quality of meat can be procured any- where,” L A YARD MASTER CHUSHED, James Patterson Caught Between a Tender and a Freight Car. James Patterson, yard master of the lower yards of the Union Pavific road,was severely: injured by being crushed between a tender and'a freight car last nigit about midnight, He was stauding on the rear end of an en- gine which was backing down the main live, The surpoundings were obscured by steam and smoke, aud some cars which were stand- ing ou the maia line were run wto. Pagter- son was caught between these cars aud the tender and crushed in the region of the hips and small of the back, He was taken 1o the yard master's house, at the end of Davenport street and a physi- cian seat for. ‘The injured man was soon afterwurds rewoved to his home, 1006 Day- enport street, where the physician made an examination.

At a late hour the injured man was resting as well as could be expected. v —— Beecuam's Pills curg bilioue and nervous ills OUMAHA NEWS, Live Stock Exchange Moeting.
