HAMILTON WON'T BE BLUFFED. Educator Wehrer Finds a Man He Can't Easily Bulldoss, WHAT THE SUPERINTENDENT WANTS, e Thinks He Can and Will Look After His Ofcial Duties—About an Assistant School Board Secretary. P Thero was a merey warof words yestor- day afternoon at the board of education roms, The committee on buiidings ana property had a meoting to pass upon sevaral matters, and an effort was made to adjust a dispute which had arisen between Mr, Ham- 11.0n, superintendeat of bulidings and prop- and Mr. R. D. Duncan, the plumber, over tho repairing of the Webster school ‘water closets, Mr. Duncan was the case. He said had ordered bim to on the repairs need and he had refused to do it. He to do by the board of education as he would by a private citizen, he said, and do nothine but first-class work. ' He claimed that where Mr, Hamilton hid ordered him to simply repair a_cracked flush pipo and bow! the old bowl and a part ©f tho pipe should have been put in now. When Mr. Hamilton's turn to_speak came he put the matter in a_very different hight. Ho said: “Tke dificulty with Mr. Duncan 15 right hero: He wauted to run up a bill of & 0 or $40 there for new material, whilo I had theold pipe mended for 5 cents. It was s little rough on Mr. Duncaws pocket book, but 1 was looking out for the intercsts of tne school board and not the size of his bill. There was simply a crack in the flush pipe and the projection of bowl and it wus a very easy matter to 1it at slight expense.’’ “That shows what vou know about plumb- fne.” said Mr. Duncan bitterly. “I ought to hive had you arrested for tampering with the water pipes.” ‘You can have present and stated that Mr. Hamilton do A cheap job me arrested yet if you want to, and I ‘0 1 to do it,"” rejoined Hamilton very energetically. Mr. Wehror was present and took the side Mr. Duncan in a vory aggressive manner, foingso far as to say that it was not tho usiness of the superinendent of bujldings to interforo with plumbers whem members of tho board ordered work done. He thought that Mr. Hamilton knew very littlo about blumbing, and should stand back and let Mr., Juncan finish tho work as hie thought best “I have been elocted as suverintendent of buildings and property,” said Mr. Humilton, growing indignant at Wehrens slighting niarks, “and I propose to see and dire every ‘man who works about these buildives, or kiow the reason why. I am paid for this work and I propose to do it, “You have no busincss to interfere with work that the committecs aro looking after, @nd that you don'v know anything about,” growled Wehrer. ““The question is just this,” smd Mr Mar- tin, “aro we going to have the regularly em- pioyed oficers of tho board attend to tho ok that they aro supposed to look after or #lall wo lot every committee and momber of th.¢ board sail in and direct and contract for work ns they may think besu! For my part T think the superintendent of buildings and property is the proper suthority to direct the work ordered y the board.” Sinco this matter has beon sprung,” said Hamilton, “there is another thing [ wish o speak of. Thero are bills coming in for work that T havo never beon consulted about or informod of. [ have a bill here for work doue at the Mason school that I do not pro- 0 t0 O. K., for I was not informed that any such work was being done.” He then drew out the bill, which was for 1270, In favor of . D. Duhcan. Il O. K. the bill, suid Welrer. “I pever aw the bill befors, but ' Q. K. ft. 1 0w the work was dono,’ and he hastily placed his *O. K. across tho bill. After wrangling for an hour over the ro- airs, for which Mr. Duncan threatened to ave Mr. Hamilton urrested, at the Mason #chool the committee adjourned, leaving tho aisputo for the board to sottle next Monday nizht. The point Is right hero,” said a momber of the committeo after the meoting. “Mr. Familton has been breaicing in upon the jobs Ahat were put up here bofore he came in, Mr. Wearer wants to defeat Hamilton at the ap- prosehing election aud got s friend Hummel n thero in his stead. Thero would be somo very smooth obs run through if that could be accomplished. Mr. Hamilton is_a square nan, and he is a thorn in the side of tho job- mulors."! School & “What we need in connection with the school board,” smd Dr. Spalding, yestorday, when interrogated by areporter, “is not an mssistant secrotary, but a sort of chief en- gineerand general utility man., There should bo a man to look after the aelivery of coal at the various school builaings and tosee that all tho heating apparatus are in good order. The right kind of a man could save for the tax- payers a groat deal more than his salary, and save the members of tho board a great deal of annoyance and loss of valuablo timo in looking after matters pertaining to the successful and economical managemont of the schools. Such work does not properly belong to the duties of secretary, and there- Jore, I say, we do not need an assistant sec- retary, buta chief engineer.” Do’ you favor the idea of employing an assistant secretary for the board of educa- ton? ‘the reportor msked Mr. Coburn yes- terday. ‘Certainly I do not. What is there for an sistant secretary to do if the secrotary at- tends to his business! I admit that with the secretary we have now there might be work for anoiher man, for ore good, competent man can do as much in an hour as our pres- eit secrotary doos in half a day.” **You are not in favor of re-electing Mr. Conuoyer as secretary for another year!" ‘‘Most assuredly I amnot, I am opposed 0 having a man in that responsible position who will manipulate the records of the board.” | )0 you think Mr. James will be re-eloot- ed.” Yes, I do.” Dr. Gibbs 'is one of the most ocareful and erafty members of tho board with regurd to committicg himself upon any important sub- ject. When approached vesterday by n re- porter be made an effort to evade almost every direot question but finally said: “I have no desire to become a radical partisan fu the cause of any of these wrdidates — for the r\hlliuu of superintendent or secretary. I have nothing acainst Mr. James, and S0 far as [ know these other gentlemen are first-class men. When the time comes I shall vote for tho man I think will make tho best superinten- dent. 1506 by one of the newspapers that I em supposed to boa solid James man, I don’t remember of telling any ono that I was & solid James man, but I may vote for him when the time comos," ‘‘Havo the anti-Jumes men ever hinted to you that if you desired their support in the Tace for coroner next fall that vou had better swing in with them on school board mat- ters!? “Yes, they have, and I have simply laughed at them. I have uever told euyboay I wanted to run for COroner. Wh should I wish to bo coroner!” the doctor usked naively, “I aon’t know where that story about my wanting to be coroner got its start.” SWhat do you think of the sohome to om- plov an assistantsecretary or property man (" o reporter asked “1 believe if we could get the right kind of 8 mau we ought to have asort of all-round in- tor and general ussistant in business natters. He should look after the purchase aud aolivery of supplies and assist tho com- ittees in their work. Members of the board wro obliged to spend a groat deal of valuable timo, for which we get no pay, looking after school sites, the “delivery of coal, the erection of buildiugs and thous- und and one things that a good, capable, faithful man could relieve us of to & very lurge extent.

BROK Longest Case Ever Tried in the County —Court Notes. Tho caseof David B. Thompson against the Omaha National bank was finished and submitted to the jury yesterday. The trial of this case has occupied more time than any other within the history of the courts of Douglas county, On May o jury was empannelled and sworn. On that day the taking of testimony was commenced and since then Judge Forgu- son, before whom the case is being tried, nas been on the bonch every day, with the ex- ception of Sundays. The amount involved reaches about 26,000, Tue litigation grows out of the Edholm & Akin failure. 5 In the case of the state against (ieorge K. Morehouse, charged with embezzling $1,370 from the Chickering piano company, the jury returned a verdict as charged in the indict- ment. Yesterday tho case of the state Harry Rousche s on trial beforo Judge Es- tolle, The information charges that Rousche opened & letter addressed to B. F. Humes and extracted therefrom a $50 draft. This draft he took to the store of Block & Hyman, whero ne en- dorsed 1t “B. . Humes." He then bought a suit of clothes and the balance of the pro- ceads of the paper he received in cash. In the case of George Warren Smith against the Council Bluffs and Omaba bridge company, on trial before Judge Uavis, the jury ' returned a verdict finding for the defendant. Smith sued to recover $23,000 damages to property alleged to have been causod by the constriction of the bridge. Today the following cases will be called for trial in the criminal court: Stateagainst S. G. Stevonson, tearing up pavement; state against J. K. Corby, changing the plans of a building ‘after being passed upon by the building inspector; state against John Dillon, same; stato against J. B. Kitchen, failure to tear down and remove the dangerous wall of a condemned building. Charley Maloy, chargod with the crime of petit Jarceny, pleaded guilty and was sen- tenced to ten days 1a the county jail. George Willlams was arrainged, charged with stealing $155 worth of jewelry from James M. Hutchins, He pleaded not guilty. omas Brown, charged with stealiog alue of $144, was arraigned before” Judge Kstelle this 'afternoon. He jed guilty and was seutenced to a term years in tho penitentiary. The “trial of the case of C. N. Dietz and half a dozon insurance companies against the Missouri Pacific_railroad company was com- monced before Judge Ferguson ~yesterday. The plaintiffs are suiug to recover $27,000 from the defendants. Four vears ago Dietz lumber yard, near the Webster street depot, caught fire and a greater portion of the stock burned. It is claimed that the fire ori nated from sparks from a Missouri Pac engino that passed through the yards a short time prior to the alarm being given. The railroad people deny this and state that the fire resulted from other cause: The case of Ryan & Walsh against Douglas county, a suit brought, in_which the plain- 1iff’s sued for tho value of extras alleged to have been used in the construction of the county hospital has gone to the supreme court.

THEIR ANNUAL PICNIC. Mission Scholars and Old Ladies Given a Delightful Outing. The annual picnic of the little folks of the city mission, including both the industrial and Sunday schools, took place yestorday aftornoon in Hanscom park and was fully as enjoyable as it was intended to bo. There were 200 of the children present, and notwith- standing the fact that the attendance was smaller than on some previous occasions, there was no perceptiblo diminution in the fun, noise or amount of sandwiches and lemo- nade disposed of. It might well be called a model mission picnic, and the youngsters behaved exceedingly well. Of courso some of the boys were u little_vociferous when the waiters lagged in the discharge of their duties, but picnic etiquette allows a little latitude. The occupants of the old ladies' home joined the youthful picenickers as of yore aud enjoyed the day as much as anybody. Thoy were driven to the park in one of Jim Stephenson’s tallyho coaches, which was furnished for that purpose by the owner, and the treat will undoubtedly be tho feature of the year for the aged passengers. The little folks went on the motor, transportation being furnished free by thé company, whilo merchants and the citizens generally united 1n donating provisions for the outing enter- tainment. In this connection, It may not bo out ot place to mention the plan that is just being matured for very materally extending the work of the mission. As is woll known, the present quaters are very much cramped and there are not tho facilities for handling the pupils that are desired. Furthermore, it is desired to extend the work of the schiool so as to includo branches of ndustrial work that aro not now touched upoa at all. Tho ladies realizo that it is advisable to teach the girls something of the duties of every day life, hoping that the effects of such teaching will bo manifested in the homes of the children and tho prosent as well as the rising goneration benefitted. It is pro- posod to teach them the homely duties of Bousckeoping, mcluding dishwashing as wonl as setting and waiting on the table, and the babit of neatness that it is desired ' to foster will be givon a fleld for practical illustration and operation. The sewing school now numbers 120 pupils, but room is lacking, and itis proposed to branch out and secure mnew and larger quarters. The ladies have secured an option ou n lot at Eleventh and Capitol avenue for 12,500, and ave satisfiod that with $30,000 they can make the purchase and erect a building for an industrial school that will be ample for all requirements. This mouey they desire to raise by subscription, and $1,400 bas been secured ns & starter, almost with no work whatever. ‘They will make a canvas, hopiug that gen- orous respouses will meot their calls for this deserving and commendable charity, Use Haller's Sarsaparilla and Burdock, the great blood purifier.

THE OMANA DAILY MOUNTAINS RENT I¥ TWAIN. Cause of the Flooding of the Oalifornia Desert Explained. AN EARTHQUAKE LET IN THE PACIFIC. The Sea Sweeps Down Over the Low- lands and Transforms the Alkall Plains Into a Vast Salt Water Desert, Sax Jose, Cal, July 2.—The wonderful lake that has formed in California is the re- sult of an earthauake. A correspondent who has just returned from the scene of the flood that covers many thousand square miles of the alkali lands five toeight fect deep, says: I had unusual opportunities to observe the water's ravages. Two terrific earthquake shocks shook all southern California last Monday morning. They first were felt shortly before 3§ o'clock. The motion was from southwest to northeast. There wero two distinct periods, lasting about twenty seconds, the first period being tho most severe, With some Yuma Indiaus I had been hunting on the coast ranges of mountains just to tho west and south of the great Call- fornia desort. On the nightof the earth- quake the party camped in a canon midway botwoen Salton, our nearest railroad point, and the shores of the Pacific ocean, about fifty miles distant from elther. The eartn- quake was felt with fearful distinctness in the mountains, It was preceded by aloud rumbling, as of thunder, and then camea slow upheaving of the ground and then a dropping back with a violent shock. A half dozen similar motions followed, each one more violeat than the last, and succeeding each other so rapidly that the movement can be likened to nothing but the rocking of a cradle on an uneven floor. 'he shocks were followed by Intervals of a few seconds of calm, during which the sounds of crashing rocks could be heard in all directions. Then came another wave of the oarthquake of even greater oscillating motion. One of the Indians was made violently sick. As soon as the quaking had ceased other sounds wore distinguished that continued several seconds. Chief among theso were the crashing of rocks as they were aashed to the bottom of the gorge from the adjacent mountain sides and the peculiar straining sound as if the mountains them- elves were being rent in twain. The canon where the camp was pitched was o very dry place on Saturday evening, but at daylight, one hour after the earth- quade, water appoarod ovorywhoro on_tho ground, as if a heavy rainfall had occurred, The water, however, had a brackish taste, showing that it could not have come from the clouds. One of the Indians, after breakfast, roported that some great changes had taken place in the appearance of the mountain, and pointing to the southwest there was scen a huge gorge, apparently fathomless, and which, he said, had never been there before The earthquako had dono_this, he said, and similar rents were seen in othor places, all caused by the early morning convulsions. All along the route woward Salton, which the party reached about midnight, were indl- cations of a violent upheaval and pools of water wero seen in many places that before were known to be dry springs. At Salton, which is 263 feet below the sea level, a panic oxisted. Whon we reached there the great desert had been nearly entirely flooded since that morning. A flood had been experienced the two days before, but it was from an over- flow from the Colorado river, which is just now very high. The river is scparated from the desert land by a high bank of sand nearly two miles wide, but whenever tho Colorado river overflows the water sweeps through this bank and partially floods the great basin, Nothing like the present flood was ever kuown, however, and no such quantity of water as now threatens to engulf the alkali lands could have come from tho Colorado. The conciusion is_inevitable, based upun the experiences in tho mountains already re- lated, that the water now covering the low plain comes from the Pucific occan through an opening in the const range of mountains oreated by the earthquake Sunday night. Further proof of this may be found from tho fact the water now steadily encroaching on the pluins has a_seeming tidal motion from the southwest the waves lapping fiercely against the southern side of the tracks of the Southern Pacific rairoad. ~Additional proof of the oceanic origin of this flow is found in the existence in the inland sea of a small smelt of a species only found in the wators of the Pacific. Strangely enoughno one at Salton orin the flonded region counects the flood with the earthquake or attaches any signifi- cance to the proximity of the Pacific ocean. All seem to think that the flood came from the Colorado overflow, as if a sea of water sixty or-eighty miles jong and twenty to forty miles wiae, rangigin depth from a few inches to eight and ten feet, could have soeped through a two-mile wide range of dense sand in a period of threo days. The water comes from the Pacific ocean and its origin is due to the terrific earthquake of Sunday morning last. When the correspondent left Salton yoster- day noon the water was still steadily rising and shows no prospects of any diminution. “Tho great salt_mines lying about five mile: to tho west were already under water and the track was being washed away. The probability is that by tomorrow night miles and miles of the far-famed “Sunset Route" will be under about two foet of water. For five miles tho track rups through this basin ata depth ranging from twenty to 500 feet be- low the sea lovel, the entire depressed area aggregating over a million acres. Outside of the damage to the railrond and salt mines and possibly the death of Indians and some few prospectors, this flood, if permanent, cannot but be a benefit to the lower portion of the state, which is all arid land. As the water comes from the Pacific there is little doubt that the flood will be permanent. This phenomenon recalls a_project which scientific mon of the state have bad in view for years and seems to have solved, by natural means, what would have proved a vast enginecring feat, accomplished only after years of labor and the expenditure of millions of capital. This plan was to tunnel through the coast range of mountains and let the ocean waters into the basin, creating a great inland salt water lake or'arm of the sea. This has been done almost in a night, and the world is wondering at the result. Oauses and Effects Discussed. New Youk, July 2.—A reporter cailed on Prof. Jacques W. Redway yestorday at his residence in this city to obtain information as to the causes and probable effects of the flood at Salton in the Colorado desert. Prof. Redway resided at Salton for several years as a mining engineer. Hesaid: *The sink of a riverand quite a number of small dry lakes, together with the sink of the San Felipe or Conchilla valley and Death valley, all belong to & large depression which tho Southern Pacific railway crosses 27 feet below the sea lovel. The sinks or ary lakes of this depression cover an area of about 1,400 square miles, The deepest part of the sink is probably betweon 20 and 330 foet below the sea lovel. Old lacustrine beds are num- erous all through the region. The sink of the San Felipe 1s the targest of them all, and its old shore margius are still visible. Dry lake, near Salton, is more of a marsh than a dry lake bed, and there is an old partly silted wash from the Colorado river passing near Pilot Kuob and Algodon. Tn very high stages of the river the wator has often flowed through this wash and partly filled the marsh, As soon as the river would fall the wash would, of course, be dry, But there are numerous washes all the way from the Needles, about two huudred miles from tho mouth of the river down to the Gulf of California, every one of which has been formed in & similar manner. It is not im- possible that the river may have fowed through this depression in past times, and that it bas been aiverted from its old course by the shifting of sand, This Is the area which n 1872 it was proposed by Dr. Wozencraft to flood by diteh from the Gulf of Califoroia, but the evaporation is enor- mous because'of the extreine heat and it was not_attempted. The soil is light and fol- sparthic in cnaracter, with a specitic gravity not much greater than tho water, and a slight current 13 capable of cutting & very deep chanael in a very short time, 1 do not think there is any dependence to be placed fu the B KIDAY nssertion that the lake {¥ filling up from an underground channel, ifsmuch as the whols region is filled with felsparthic sand to & great depth, and there are no formations that would render such undorground channel pos- sible. My impression is that undor a temper- ature of 145= the new iake will disappear about as quickly as it formoed. But still it is not impossible that the wholo channel of the Colorado river may ba 'shifted. The wind and the arifting sand are agents fully com- petent to effect such a chiange. This dop: sion below the sea level Being in line with the axis of the Gulf of California as far north s Death valley, a distance of about three hun- dred miles, has suggested the idea that the whole depression was formerly an arm of the sea. Such might have been tho case, but all of the old shore margins are lucustrine, and whatever has boen the origin of tho depre: sion it is now filled upmimost to the level with a disintesrated folsparthio rock worn from the granite ridges, which hore and there protrude about the lavel of the valley.” Replying to the question whether the Southern Pacific railway would have fo hange its location to the mountain region, Prof. Redway said: ‘“About fifty miles of the track of the Southern Pacific railway lies in & portion of the depression that s lia- bie to be inundated, but it will be some time yet before the road will be in danger. It would require a detour of several hundred miles to avoid all parts of the depression, but 1 beliove, at the worst, tho track will have to be shifted only a few miles. Possibly, with a judicious smifting of the sand fences, the wind may pile up enough sand to make & nat- ural barrier against further encroachments of the water.” Prof. Itedway is vory strongly of the opin- 10n that the water flows down the wash on the west sido of the Colorado and makes its way to the sink, the center of which he found 10 have a dopression of 330 feot below sea level. Rogarding the Indian irrigation mat- tor, the doctor said: “Itisso small that it could not affoct the outflow of the river. In this region,” he continued, “‘there are numor- ous hills from fifty to seventy foet high. The largest of these can be formed or swept away in two or throe days, 50 rapid'y does the sand drift. The wind forms them “today and to- morrow they are blown away. Drifts of ten feet deep nave been formed in twenty-four hours. June s the season of high water in the Colorado_river, owing to the melting of snow in tho mountains. The river is at this season a raging torrent throughout its entire course, and it is a wonder to me that it has not swept away a part of Yuma long_before this year. Yuma used to bo a city of about four thousand people, but after the comple- tion of the railway, froighting, which was the chiof industry of the place, was de- stroyed, and early this spring the water washed' away a good part of the city, which now has about five hundred inhabi- tants, mainiy Mexicans from the Pacifio coast. Ishould not be surprised if Yuma suffered the fate of Coquill, at the head of navigation on the Colorado, once a thriving village but now absolutely " doserted aud in ruins,” ingincers Investigating. SAx Fraxoisco, Cal,, July 2.—The South- ern Pacificsent out today from Yuma an en- gineering party to investigate the appearance of the large body of water in “Dry lake" to the southwest of Salton. The latest nformation from Yuma is that the waters have not only flowed along the old channel into what is called the sink, but they have broken out a little to the north of the po.nt wheve they usually overflow, that is noarer to Yuma, Every year there 1saflow of water in the sink, which travels along the old channel and then gradually evaporates and subsides as the year passés and the waters of the Col- orado river fall. The old Sun Diego and Yuma stage line has a bridge over the old chaunel and ten months in the year no ono would know why sucha bridge haa over been built. There is jalso a forry there, which has been used during the annual flood To the north of thesink aud to the south- west of Salton thero is'on_some maps of the state long bean shaped tracts marked “old dry lake” Between it and the sink there 1s a high ridge of clay. On Old Dry lake there is now water cover- ingan areaof thirty miles in length and twelve miles wide. It 1s only 21 inches deep, however, and the ground when dry is 13 feet and 6 inches below the lovel of the tracts. The theory of the Southorn Pacific engineers is that the water [rom the sink has percolated the ground under the clay ridge and so has filled up Old Dry lake. There is no fear whatever, the officials say, of water over reaching the tracks, bo- cause evaporation is very great and es- pecially now in the groat hoat existing in the desert. Streams running into Old Dry lako pour in at the rate of about four and one- nalf miles an hour, and it is to determine the source of this stream that the engineering narty started on the trip of discovery today. On the east side of the sink the company’s tracks have tho additional natural protection of one of the highest sand mounds in the United States.

Inquiry of the intorested parties has re- vealod the fact that such a shortage oxists, and runs well up in the hundreds, although it will fall short of four figures, That such a blow should come is not sur- prising to those who have been watching the career of the young man. His relations with one teulah burton, a woman of the town, have been such as to excite much comment, and the exceedingly extravagant swath that tho woman has cut’ with her ricl costumes and very swell equipago hus naturally boen atiributed to a lavish _expendituro of money on Misener's part. When his em ployer discovered how the young man was spending his spare time ho promptly dia- chargod bim, but did not ascortain until lator that there were somo things on his books that needed explanation. Misener was forthwith brought face to face with the newly discovered condition of things and did not deny his connection with the mattor. Mr. Spellman was asked regarding tho re- lations botween himself and his formor book- Kkeeper, and replied that they were quite friandly. He felt that his confidenco had been betrayed but said that no had been a warm friond of the young man and would do a great deal for him. He declined to say anythiog for publication about tho shortago, stating merely that Missoer wa - formerly in his employ and is not so ew- ployed now. Miscnor's father said that Spellman had informed him that his son was takiog money thet did not belong to him, but he did not believo it at the time. He hind become con- vinced, however, that the boy had gotten in with bad company, particularly tho woman roferred to, and had beon leading a fast life. Ho said ho was not ablo financially to straighten out the diffcuity and could not tell what the result would be. It is understood that no prosecution will follow if the shortage is made good, and an attempt is being mado to fix up the matter. Young Misener has been out of the city for several days, but returned Monday from Chicago.

Endorscment of Omaha for Presiden- tial Convention Honors. A good many peoplo of Omaha yesterday dovoted a largo portion of their time and energles to congratulating John L. Webstor, C. R. Scott, C. H. Brown, A. P. Tukey and Irastus Benson upon the work that they porformed at the Towa republican state con- vention held at Cedar Rapids. These gentlemen went over into Towa for the purpose of doing some work for Omaha in her offorts to secure the ropublican na- tional convention that couvenes next year. They returned vesterday and with them they brought the endorsement of the repub- licans of the state of lowa. This _endorsement is couse tho delegation to powmt with a good deal of pride to tho labor that was performed and the results that were attained. It reads that in convention assembiod, the republicans are as a unit for Omaba as_the place for the holding of the great republican gathering, Hon. John L. Webster in_speaking of the trip and the results, said: *“I'ie_convention was comnosed of a'grand body of men, all of whom showed us every courtesy that could have been expected, “There were 1,005 delogates in attondance and of the number with whom wo talked, nine outof every ten favored Omaha. In fact there was no other city that was i the fight. #.0t course wo did not have timo to tallk with all of tho dolegates. owing to our late arrival, but it was evident that there was no organizod opposition against Omaha. Woe met a great many repro- sentative men from all portions of tho state who expressed - tho most frieudiy feeling for this oity. All of the delegates voted upon tho resolution and the majority for Omaha was something of which we foel proud. “Ex-Governor Gear, the permauent chair- man of the convention rendered us groat ser- vico and did -much to help us in our efforts, In fact ho was for Omaha first, last and ali the time. “Hon. George 1. Perkins, tho propriotor of the Sioux City Journal, aud the chairman of the committeo on resolutions was a power. When we went to Cedar Rapids thoro was a feoling that Congressman erkins might pos- sibly bo against us on account of & suposed rivalry between Omaha® and Sioux City, but this foeling was quickly dispelled and A most e was ours to jearn that he illing to aid us whenever an opportunit ed itself, ““Hon. John Y, Stoue, tho temporary chair- man, went into the work as though it was a porsonal matter and interested himself m our bebalf. He rendered us great services and should be regarded as ouo of Omaha’s cham- ions. “The delegates from Council Bluffs and the Council Bluffs district wero always where they could do the most good and worked for Omaha as cuthusiastically as they would if thoy had been residents, To these gentlemen thoro is a groat amount of ‘crodit due for what was accomplisned.” A. P, Tukey said: “‘Wo wero received in the most friendly manuer and were shown every attention by not only the members of the committes on resolu- tions, bnt by all of the gentlemen of tho convention. Thoy did _not receive us as strangers, but s friends. We talked with a great many of tho delegates and in almost wstance found thowm friendiy to Omakia, 1toll you that if you want to know how Omaha_ 5t ou want 1o go away from Lome, a man feel proud when ho oes into a convention in_another state and then hoars 1,100 men cast their votes for his home city, “The Councit Bluffs and we: boys are stayers and it was a g seo them swing in line for Omuha, “Great credit is due all of the members of the convention, but the efforts of Congress- maa Perkins, ex-Governor Gear, the perma- nent chairman and the temporary chairman, Hon, John Y.

They want the copvention in the west and will work for Omaha. The convention was & most harmonious ono and did good work. J. Ellen Foster was there in all her glory and told the republicans how prond she was of them because they stood by thoir pledges of yoars ago for temperance and good government. ‘Thw republicans have & veory strong ticket, but the fignt will be a close and bitter one, principally on the liquor question, and not on any issue upon which the great national partics differ.

McCounell, superintendent of motive vower on tho Union Pacific, found time yester- day to review tho results of his trip over the systom with President Dillon, Vice Pres- ident Clark, and others, The main line bo- tweon Omaha and Ogden was found in first- class condition, the shops neat_aud tidy and glorying in a coat of whitewash. Al along the line mattors wero found in good shape, and a marked change had taken pince n the genoral appearance of things since January 1. The shops at Donver were being run to their full capacity, as_ wore the machine and blacksmith shops at Choyenne. The car shop at the latter placo is not yet ready for opera- tion but will be started up soon. Spouking of the Omaha shops Mr, McCon- nell said thero was no increase probable at this point. Thero are as many men employed in tho shops now as thero have been at any time during the past five years, and more than there were three years ago. The shops all along the line are working nino _and one- half hours per day, which is something thoy have not dono for several years. No roduction or increase of forco in tho shops is contemplated. There is plenty of work in all the shops, and Mr. McConuell said it was his idea to maintain a standard force all the time sufticiont to keep tho work woll in hand and avoid the policy of employing a largo lot of men for a short time and then cutting down the force to keep the expenses within the limit. All the_shops have beon very busy sinco March 1, Mr. McConnell said, and the power was tmproving right along. By the first of Septomber or Octobor ho expects to have the power in condition to haundle everything which comes. of We want every lady and all the boys and girls to call on your drugyist and got somo of our beautiful cards aud a book of valuablo nformation free.

Officer Hudson attempted to arrest Mattie Hill, a burnt district resident, last night, but Mattie was too much for the “‘copper.” She bit and kicked and screamed loud enough to be heard four blocks away, and finally got away.

Mattio isa Lard fighter when drunk, and sho was carrying an awful load when Hud- sou tried to get her.
