Olsen didn't take much stock in the chair’s ruling, be said, and wanted the matter placed on the ‘table, “That point_was settled here last year,” said Mr. Chaffee, “and need not cause any alarm to t ntleman, The ordinance can be introduced on the strength of the original wninn. I would further state that I have en informed that cortain members of the committee on grades and grading knew of the technical er n the ordinance when it was before the council.” Mr. Morcarty and Mr.Olsen both demanded the names of the accused parties. “Iwill tell you after the meeting,” Mr. Chaffc This was not satisfactory and both of the gentlemen demanded the” publi noun ment of the names of the men accused of the intentional neglect. Mr. Davis tried to smother the embarrass- ment with® a point of order, but w unsuccessful und the chair was compelled to explain. He said that he had been told that Morearty and Olsen went to the city clerk’s oftice the morning after the passage of the ordinance to see if the technicul error was in the ordinance, Both Moremty and Olsen admitted the truth of the statément but denied that the; had any proy fous knowledge of the existen of the Tatal technical err After further discussion the ordinance was read and laid over under the rules, The city attorney presented a report upon the question that cansed an adjournment of the meeting lust evening. The question 1 was: “When a street about to be led and appraisers have been ap- pointed by the mayor and council and b mado thelr report uwarding damages to the owners of real estate abutting theveon, is it mecessary that such damages should be paid or teadered before such street can be ordered graded and the grading proceed.” he ity attorney held that such payment WS not i cy, a8 the charter provides that awards for ‘dumages shall be p owners of the property within s s after the completion and acceptance” of the work of grading.

Packing sHouse Employes by Their Presence Declare Themselves Best Interests of Annexation had South Omaha as solid nite pile last night. It boiled until it run v and blew the lid off the kettle with its effervescin 'nthusiasm. At Twenty-fourth and N streets it threw a motor train off the track. Strange as it may seem, the inani- mate thing was scared at the stupendousness | of the torchlight procession that turned the and wended its way up to Germania The “antis” were out, too, but they had a beer wagon, aband and some sky The annexationists had votes in their line, and what a string of them there wego. And votes are what count. The annexationists didn't show their strength until last night, They made Dave Anderson wince and wiggle, John Doe’s re- puted 2,000-candle power electric lights re- duced themselves about fifteen hundred c dles each as the procession passed umlorw-mh them., The glitter of the torches was too much for John Doe's lights., The procession moved down Twenty-fourth to M, on Twenty-fifth to N, on N to Twenty- fourth again, south on Twenty-fourth to Q, west on Q to Twenty-sixth, on Twenty-sixth to N, to Twenty-fourth and back to Germania hall. The Magic City band led the throne, and in their front the ‘majestic form of Police Captain John Sexton loomed up a marshal The procession wi workingmen who have with the embryo city. When Germania hall was reached _there were over three hundred men in line, It was soon evident the hall was not large enough to hold the throng so an adjournment was taken to the open air, where by the light of 100 torches a grand old rally was held. Jim McCune called the gathering to order. John G. Irwin was made chaivman and Al- derman Lddie Curley was selected secretary. Attorney Joe KEdgerton wrs the firs speaker introduced. ~Of all the speeches he has made during the annexation campaign Mr. Edgerton made his best last night. He demonstrated to the satisfaction of every hearer the lower rate of taxation to be se- cured by consolidation. Lots lying on the extreme southern edge of Omaha p: taxes on a 48 mill levy than lots ly South Omaha’s northern edge on a levy. The differcnce was in the assess valuation and that difference amounted to &3 in Omaha's favor. The same vule obtained on all South Omaha property. Mr. Edgerton said he was authorized to state for John A. McShane that the stdck ards company V' 00,600 in im- provements the present year in case annexi- tion carrieds if it failed the company wouldn't improve u worth Meday also informed lgzorton that the George H. Hammond packing company would expend £250,000 in case annexation carried; if it didu’'t they wouldn’t spend a cent. What did that mean to the workingmen? It meant annexation and prosperity; not annexation and South Omaha at a stand’still, . Edward Rosewater, editor of Tix ¢, followed Mr. Edgerton. He was greeted with cheers by the crowd of workingmen. Mr. Rosewater opened his speech by con- gratulating the men of South Omaha on the interest the; were taking in the ation _question, 'y were the .1.»;.15 interested. For thirtcen years ade up of men, voters— cast their fortunes and he nd of and a sympathizer with the workingman, So far as the two cities ure concerned there will be no loss of identity by unnexation. Germantown, ty a century old, was recently annexed to Philudelphia, but it will always be known as Germantown. North Chicago was annexed to Chicago, but it will always be known as North Chicago. In 1850 Omaha had a population of 83,000 and so it stood in the census for ten i although Omaha now has a population of 100,000, If South Omaha aunexes, the census to be taken in July will give us a population of overa Lun- dred thousand aud both places will be the gainer thel Omaha's bonds sell readily at a premium, but what chance has South Omauha to sell another bond in her present bunkrupt condition? Omaha will tomorrow, and if annexation occurs Omaha will secure her share for puhm im- provements during the present year. The bill introduced in_congr by Repre- sentative Connell for a £200,000 postofice in South Omaha was mere political buncombe and its object only to secure votes. South have a public building: n't spending i ball is prom ha by the anti-annexationists, but where is the money to come from to build it! South Omaha can’t her ordinary running cex- peysesy let alono building a elty hall.

Illustrations were drawn by comparing sleepy old St. Jo- seph und progressi : 1o show that Or paid a less yate of tuation on uctuial values than did St. Joseph's proper although Omaha’s levy runs much . "The objec- tion to annexation on the grounds pf a higher rate of taxation were untenable and could not be proven if figures ' stated. - The potitioans of South Omaha, like those of other suburban towns that havé an- nexed to their greate sighbors, opposed wnnexation, but it was natural. But thei terests were not the interests of masses, The combined greatness of Omaha and South Omaha was of more importauce than the interests of the poli- ticluns. Greatness for Omaha meant in- I 1 prosperity for the peoplo of South Omaha, and if annexation carvied on Thu duy by the votes of South Omaha's working men, that greatness w 3 ADil E.

The audience at the Murphy temperance meeting last night commenced to gather carly and were fntevcepted at the doot by three prohibitionists, who peddled tracts requesting, the people to vote the prohibition ticket next fall and save their sons from a drunkard's grave, This, howeve 1id not deter the en- trance of the largest audience that Mr. Mur- phy has yet had in Omaha. Mz, Murphy praised the 1 choir leader, Mr. Frank S said had been of immense service to him and was the best leader he had ever had. Last night was prayer meeting night and all the clergymen in the audience wero re- quested to take seats on the stage. Some difffeulty was experienced in finding the gas man and the stage went dark for some time during the early part of the me ing. The st was finally filled with singers, who openeil the meeting by singing the well known hymn, “All Hail the Power of Jesus: Name,” which was followed by “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” In the audience were many well known Omahar iding a good many gentlemen of rubi age and evident bibulous habi M lership of his mith, whom he Murphy asked if_the people sitting in ar of the auditorium could hear him and a still small voice from the rear saic fNo,” and Mr. Murphy said he would talk as loud as he could. A beautiful basket of roses was handed up, the gift of the students of the Omaha Com mercial college, for which Mr. Murphy re- turned hearty thanks and_ blessed his young friends for “their thoughtfulne: brought a bowl of beautifui roses xmd J thomt on the press table, much. o the delight of the reporters who were grinding out copy. The text Mr. Murphy took was from Matthew xi-28, “Come unto me all ye who are heavy laden and I will give you rést.” Some man in the audience who was troubled with more freshness than good judgment in- terrupted the speaker several times with rambling remarks, but it drew forth nothing harder than “God bless you from Mr. Mur- phy. The Rev. Mr. Laixd of the Knox Pres- byterian church prayed eloguently for the men _in the power of the liquor habit, and asked a blessing on the speaker of the even- ng. Mr. Savidge announced_that there would be a meeting at the Union Pacific shops next Friday at 12:30 p. m., when Mr. Murphy will work umong the men aud try and induce them to sign the pledge. Then he asked a number of well known gentlemen to goamong the audience after My, Murphy's lecture and pursuads men to come to the front and put on aribbon. Mr. Murphy then commenced his lecture with some humorous remarks about the grippe, and said that the grip of liquor on men was avorse than the unpopular malady. d that the men in the whisky busi- ness were no worse than the men who drank the stuff, and gave prohibition a black eye with his good will towards all theory. He sted the police system of saving men by ing_them to the station aud putting ten more policemen on the force, but wouldn't in- crease the minister’s salary. Mr. Murphy poke of Mr. John H. Pierce, a well 1 young Omalia attorney who signed the pledge the evening before, and asked him to say something, Mr. Pierce came to the front and made a brilliant snd touching speech. He spoke of_the wreck whisky had made of his life, and held the audience spellbound with his eloquence. - Mr. Pierce came to Omaha about four months ago from the home of sour mash and blue s and has been a drinking man for some but by Murphy’s help he had given up the habit and would never go back on it. . ‘Then Mr. Murphy called for three cheers, ‘Which were given enthusiastically, and then ten_minutes’ were devoted to signing the pledge. A young man by the name of Charles Allen of Council Bluffs, who signed the Murphy pledgo on March' 1, spoke to the audience briefly but eloquently. The Rev. Mr, Lamar dropped in about this time and Mr. Murphy called to him, *Come here, you dear fellow,” and dragged ‘him to the front, and Mr. L i i dress in fayor of temperance was going to York to preach tempoer Murphy then opened his by repeating his text from St. Matthew, and ~went at his_subject in isual vigorous manner. He told the 'y of Jean Valjean, how the good bishop aved and cared for him, and said that ne wouldrather have his son die than spend aday in the penitentiary. The prison treat- lont was_ what Tuined ‘many men who fell temporarily, who commifted crimes through their love Tor liquor, and who had not been saved by love. made the best speech that he s made during his_engagement, moving his audience to tears and exciting them to laugh- ter and uproarious applause. The signing of the pledge closed the meet- ing, and many men came forward und put the blue ribbon in their battonhole, TRE ,"Hlu‘ RE Two Millions Loss by the Burning of the Singer Works.
