Methodists Working for Positions of Influence and Prominence. , It may not be a mixture of politics with ro- ligion, but it is nevertheless true that thero is a good deal of caucussing and rehigious wire pulling being done just now preparatory to tho election of dolegates to the Methodist woneral conference, which becomes a part of the business of the North Nebraskn annual conference that neots hero next week. This conferenco will be entitled to two miusterial and two lay delegates. The posi- tion 15 naturally oné to be sought after by both the ministers acd laymen of the con- forenco. There are half a dozen prominent, ministers making an offort to_securo tho cov- eted place and an equal number working for the eloction as lay delegates. Thero has been some very energetic canvassing aud the mails have been laden with letters ask- g for support and in behalf of friends. At a sub rosa caucus of prominent laymen held last Friday evening Mr. A. T. Rector of the First Methoaist church was selected as the man to bo supported by the laymen of Omaha for one of the lay delogates to the general conference, It is thought that Mr. 'L. R. Anderson of Neligh, will be elected as a lay_delegate. Other ‘gentlemen mentioned are” John Dals and W. K. Kurtz of Omaha, Dr. Maxfield will undoubtedly be elected as one of the ministerial delegates and there will Do an_interesting race for the other position between Elder Clendenning, Elder Marquette of Elkhorn, ana Rev. J, W. ank, editor of the Advocate. The' fact that Elder Clendenning has bean appointed as a delegate to the ecumenical conference which meets at Washington October next will undoubtedly be used as an argument against_ his election as a delegate to the general conferenco. Not that his work in connection with the ecumen- ical conference will interfere with the othe: in tho least, bat thera may be a desire to sea the honors distributed wore evenly by send- ing somo one else to the general conference. The next fow days will_bo busy ones with those who have the confercnco bees in their bonnets. Tho olection of the ministeris® delegates will probably take place on Thursday and that of the lay delegates on Friday.

The wagon which Kreeger was working at stood 1n one of tho alleys of the lumber vard near the tracks, Suddenly a runaway team dashed around the corner and down the alley, Beforo Kra:ger could getout of the way he was struck in the back by the tongue of the wagon to which the runaway t was hitched. He was thrown out of the way and against the side of his own wagon and then fell to the ground uncouscious. As quickly as possiblea doctor was called and an examination made. The man's back was badly bruised where the pole struck him, and his arms were somewhat scratched, It was impossible to tell at the first examin- ation whether Krager had been injured in- ternally or not. Ho was removed tu. his homo at 1027 Nicholas street, aud ats p. m. was resting easily. Potor Johnson, o farmer, Is the owner of the runaway team.

Councilmen Decide Not To Disoriminate Between Oity Hall Furniture Bidders, WILL AWARD THE CONTRACT TODAY. City Attorney Poppleton Quoted as Opposed to Making a Contract Without Money in the City Hall Fund. When tho members of the ity councll comploted the rounas last night and stopped looking atsample furniture, it was supposed that todny tho public would know the name of the lucky bidder, but 1t does not. In fact the public is as much in the dark as it was on the day when tho bids were opened. This morning thirteen of the members mot in committeo of tho wholoin the clerk's office and adjourned to the council chamber. The report of the committee on Pubiic Property and Buildings was called for. Mr. Osthoft, the chairnan, said there was no re- port to make, Mr. Specht openod the case and said that outside bidders had bean ailowed to make roductions from their original bids. Ho thought Mr. Coots should have been allowed tho samo privileges. In the other bids agonts had beon allowed to strike off a good many articles, Mr. Chaffeo stated that when Coots® bid went into the hands of the committeo it was tho towost, but when reported back 1t was the bighest. It looked like a desire to freczo out an Omaha man, Mr. Osthoff insisted that Mr. Chaffeo did not know what he was talking about. Mr. Morearty did ot want the public to sy that the council had reduced ono bid and not another. Mr. Spacht explained that the houses had bid on furniture for ten offices that wore not in existonce. The furaishing of theso offices had been stricken from the bids of tne out- side men, but in Coots' case it had been allowed to stand. Mr. Conway wanted to know if it was the intention to furnish somo of the offices with the old furniture, and Mr. Specht roplied that was Mr. Lowry opined that 1t would bo folly to throw away $70 desks and §15 chairs sim- ply because they had been used. By putting somo of the furniture now in usé into the minor oflices, tho eity could save £50,000. Mr. Lowrey did not favor snubbing the commit- s0, a5 the members had performed their duty, notwithstanding reports to the contra- ry. Ho thought Dr. Miller and Herman iCountzo should be invited to meet with the committee and look at the furniture. If that plan was carried out, no newspaper could cast any slur at any of the acts of the com- mittee.” If Mr. Coots had been neglected it was his own fault, as he had not been pres- ont to explain his bid. Mr. Chaffee did not want to say anything personal about any member of the committeo but matters had shaped themselveo as ho thought they would. The committee nad no authority to cut any of the bids. Bidders nad been asked to furnish plans and specifi- cations and the council bad not right to chango them. The council had advertised for bids whero there was no monoy available to make payments and he questioned tho vight to enter into a contract. 1f the prices of the Omuba conceen was anything like equal, the contract, if one was made, should be made with an Omaha house, Mr. Morearty insisted that the councilmen should look at matters from a business stand- point. He did not care what the nowspapers said. If the bid of the Omaha house was the lowest, it should be accepted, but he did not proposs to build a wall around the city for the purpose of kaeping out competition. Mr. Osthoff said the talk made him tired. He asked that his committee be rolieved and moved that the whole matter be turned over to a special committee. Chairman Bechei ruled the motion out of order. Mr. Specht asked that Mr. Coots bo al- towed to make the deductions from his bid. Mr. Conway objected. He did not propose to let Mr. Coots come in at tho eleventh hour and get the best of the outsiders. It was not fair to the mon who had spent their time and money in Omaha during the last three months, Mr. Specht insisted that no person had re- quested the gentlemen to tarry in Owaha, The committee had their bids, plans and specifications. Mr. Morearty asked if it had: not been necessary to call them before the committeo to explain their bids. Mr. Specht repiied that that kad been dono woeks ugo. Mr. Coots was allowed the floor and_said that ho had bid on each article for the ofiices and had given his price in & lump and was ready to fix a price on each article desired, If his bid was not the lowest he did not want the contract. Ho did not thini it wus right that when his bid went in it was the lowost, and then when the report came out that it should bo the bighest, simply because other bidders had been allowed to scalo down their bids and he hud not been given the same chance. Upon motion Mr, Coots was fnstructed to o over his bid with the clerk and cut out tho furniture for the rooms that the other competitors had not bid upon, This will be done today and tomorrow the committee will meet to maks the award. City Attorney Popploton is quoted as hav- ivg told a councilman that it was very bad policy to make a contract for furniture without any money in the treasury, and that the council haa better lot the whold business &0 over uutil after bonds are voted to pay for the furnishing of the building. INTER NEW Chairman Walker Defines the Position of the Southwestern. Cnicaco, 1L, Sept. 15.—A morniug paper makes the statement that the Southwestern Railway and Steamship association has with- drawan from the Western Trafiic association. As a matter of fact that association as a whole was really never a party. to the presi- dents’ agreement, although a majority of its membors were and are. The blunder arose from a misconstruction of a roso- Lution adopted by the Southwestern Railway aud Steamship association ata meeting in this city as long ago as July 1. The resolution de- clared in tubstance that: *This association is an independent organization as a wholo and owes allegianco to no other association and the chairman in acting by instruction or otherwise with any other association doos so as an individual unless by special authority of the nssociation or the exccutive com- mitteo.” Chairman A, Walker Western Trafiioc association of the above rosolution this afternoon, said, “It simply defines tho posi- tioe of the Southwestern as an_ organization, L understand that a proposition originated with a line nota member of the Westorn Trafiio association, whose officials desired to muko it clear that the assooia- uon as a body was not in the latter association and it was shaped in its present form in order not to iniorfero with the obli- gations of individual lines in their member- ship in the Wastorn Traflio association or withia the action of Chairman Faithorn on the board of commissioners, which bas con- tinued as previously. The adoption of the resolution effected uo practical chdnge in the situation, SUSTAINED THE CHATRMAN. The arbitrators who considered the appeal of tho Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul from tho decision of Chairman Finley declaring that it hud uo right to seli excursion tickets from St. Paul to Toronto via Milwaukeo, submitted thewr decision today. They sus- tained the chairman, agreeing that the ap- pellant had no right to sell tickets via the route named at less rates than those quoted in the St. Paul and Mioneapolis rate sheets. FINED DY FINLEY. Chairman Finloy of the Western Passen- er association haudoed down a decision today olding that the St. Louis, Keokuk & North- western road violated its ' agreement in tho salo of tickets at one-third tho regular fare to @ party of Dunkards returning to Abilene, Kan. ~ The reduced rates wore furnishod upon certificates obtained at Abileue in con- nection with tickets purchased from the agent of the Union Pacific at that point May 12 The defendsnt company i3 required Lo Pay over Lo the assoclation such smouat as P of the speaking should have been chargedat fuil tariff rates for the tickots, e WALKER NOT A GANDIDATE, A, F.

Miss Patti Rosa, with a desire to be scen in some thing else than “Imp' aud “Margery Daw," vlays that have been in hor repertoire for sevoral yoars, launched a new comedy last evening, together with her company of play- ers at Boyd's new theater., The piay bears the very homely title of “Dolly Varden," the aame of the vrincipal character in tho farce, which of course is played by Miss Rosa. The play is founded on & comedy groundwork as familiar as the alphabet to theator goers, It is very remin- iscent of halfadozen farces, there being littlo that is new in the vehicle for the introduction of songs, dances and funny business generally. Thero is onc lovable, middle aged vicar, who falls a victim to_the wiles of a fascinating American widow. There is a harmloss lunatic with a penchant for reading the newspapers and gotting mixed up everlastingly with the paid advertis ments. There is his_wife, a soured femalo who, in an unguarded moiment, steals some valuable jowels and fastens the guilt upon tho vicar's ward, Dolly, because she prom- 1508 to become tho heiress to the vicar's prop- erty and not her son, Louis, as shohad fondly hoped. Then thero is another son of the woman, a manly, warm-hearted follow, a licutenant in ~ her majesty’s navy and desperately in love with Dolly. A ubiquitous German stablo boy who consorts with everybody in the play, an impossible Italian money lender and ouo or two other characters to round out the semblance to a vlot, completes the .

Boys' Fancy Cassimere Suits, Embrace it. Taken in its entirety the production was meritorious, although there are several glar- ing errors to be remedied. The termination of the first act is very commonplace and one | or two of the characters will need strength ening vofors “Dolly Varden” is voted a great success, Yet thore is so much that is £00d avout the play that tho management will undoubtedly keop pogging away until the play is considored Miss Rosw's strongest effort. The little woman who essays the leading role showed delightful versatility, her songs and dances aud her tender bits 'of pathos thoroughly delighting ber audience. Her assumption of a Germau omigrant in act third with Mr. Cawthorn was ouo of the best character bits of the performance. Mr. William Griffith needea little makeup to lools the part of the vicar to the life. It is is such'a strong, earnest portraiture that his best efforts as an acior went out in its deline- ation, and he made the artistic hit of the ovening. Mr. Will Mandeville as Jack Dodd of tho navy, while looking the part perfectly, aid little to emphasize his claims as a comedian. He never allowed one to forget that he was acting. Mr. Soe Cawthorn as Hans Bibble, looking like & second edition of ‘‘Fritz”’ Emmett in his palmy days, played the part very accept- ably indeed. 'His dialect was good, his humor unctuous. Gerald Grifiin as Theodore Dodd, a news- paper fiend, played intelligently, although there is so little in the character to need playing at all. Marcus Moriarty as the Italian money lender, has_given little study to the part sought to be impersonated, scomingly. He was weak in his strong scones and common- place 1n all the others. The ladies were acceptable, Miss Carrie Francis, o very protty girl, playing the dash- ing widow and Dolly’s chaperone in o men- nor that left little to be desired. For Schlitz beer appty to R. R.

Secrotary Nettleton replied that thero was a large supply of small bills on hand and the treasury would honor an order for any amount, DBIG SCHEME OF BOOKMAKERS. For the first time 1n_its history Chicago is to have winter raciog. The racing itself will not be equal to the suburban handicap or futurity, but it will serve the purpose of the bookmakers equally as weli. Al Cridge nd Bob Lovatt, two of the wealthiest book- maisers 1n the country, are behind the scheme and Joo Welman is interested in it. Tho fact has leaked out that a powerfal synaicato is at work and that it intends to evade the Ilinois law against pool-selling. Ono man will make books on the ruces actually being run there, but_his business will be exceed- ingly light. ‘Tho bulk of the transactions will bo upon castern and southern races. Wires will be laid to every track in the country and the_interior of the building will resemblo the most -approved pool room of by-goue days. Iach horse on tho track will bo givon the same name as the horse running at Guttenberg, New Orieans or somo other place. ~ Bets will nominally be laid on the ‘skates,” but in reality they will bo upon tho horses on tho other tracks. ““Phere's millions in it,” said a well known horsemaa when told of the plan. “Those peoplo will have a complete mon- opoly of bookmaking in Chicago and you know what that means.” HALT IN THE VERA AVA CASE.

Ho believes that Miss Ava has at- tempted to blackmail the Jesuit priest. F is not engaged on the case and the theory is advanced for the benfit of the public, which was not satisfied with the Dis Dobar’ claim, Noattemot has been made by tho police to clear the mystery surrounding the disappear- auce, and Vera Ava's charges of assault and robbery in the Jesuit church will go uninves- tigated so long us Vera Ava's identity is not cstablished, 1f sho ean identify herself and proyo thatsho is reliable, an investigation will bo begun at once. Until then the police have nothing on which to base a search for facts, ODDS AND ENDS, Juko Schafer has postod 82350 to play n match with George Hossor thirty days or more hence in Now York.
