NEBRASKA PRORIBITIONISTS They Moct at Lincoln and Nominate a State Ticket. NOT AS NUMEROUS AS LAST YEAR Enthusiastioally in Favor of the Suppres- son of the Liquor TrafMo Without Ningle Compromise—Fentares of the Piatform. LaxcoLy, Aug. 24.—[Special to Tre Bee,]- The prohibitionists of Nobraska are the first in tho fleld with a state ticket. Their state convention assembled in Lincoln today, and, although the attendance was somewhat lim- {ted as compared with former yearsin the history of the party in this state, it was ovi- dent that tho same old time enthusiasm was on tap. The convention was held 1n the hall in tho ‘Young Men's Christian association building, with A. E. Ricker of Alma as chuirman and J. L. Frederick as secretary. The usual pre- liminary work, such as the appointment of committees on crodentials, resolutions, eto., was all dono last night, and tho convention plunged into business at once this morning. The platform took up most of the fore- noon's session. It declares first of all for the prohibition and suppression of the liquor trafc and opposes all plans for compromise or regulation of the sale or manufacture thereof. It then embraces the women's suffrage plank and a plank favoring the pro- hibition of all trusts. ‘I'he financial question received consideration. This plank asks that all money be issued by the general gov- ernment in such a wanner that no individual or corporation can muke anything thersby. An increase in the volume of money is de- manded and also that gold and silver be re- ceived at the mints on a parity. Money shall be full legal tender and an amount is- sued sufficient for the demands of business with a fixed per capita volume. Resolutions fayoring the American public school system, the election of scnators by a direct vote, just and liberal pensions for union soldier and sailor veterans and tho preservation of land from public, private or corporate speculation, gre embodied in op- arate planks. The next plank demands ownership and control of railroads, tele- graph and telephono systems, Another that men shall be protected in their right to one day’s rest out of seven. Finally, they demand uniform marriage and divorce laws, ‘The following ticket was placed in_the fleld: For justice of the supreme court, Mrs, Ada Bittenbender of Lincoin; for regents of the State university, Mrs. C. H. Walker of Surprise and E. A. Ricker of Alma, Mrs. J. . Heald was nominated as the candidate for the vacancy created by the resignation of last spring. A state central committee was sclected government 1 C. E. Bentley made chairman,J. 1. Frederick secretary and H. L. George treas- urer. The executive committee consists of R. A. Hawley of Lincoln, Wil n Bone of Gibvon, C. S. Jones of Hasiings, G. W. ‘Woodby of Omaha, Jerry Denslow of Hop- per and F. N. Williams of Mead. A cam- paign fund was announced last night, and this forenoon it was reported that the fund for the campaign already amounted to $200. With this gratifying assurance the conven- tion adjourned.

When hereturned to his shop he was somewhat startled to observe that during his absence some unknown party or parties had forced an entrance through the rear door and helped thomselves 10 a fat pocketbook which he had left in a drawer in the safe. The thieves gained ac- cess to the shop by throwing the weight of their bodies against the door and forcing by main strength the screws which held the liron brackets which supported a heavy bar across the door. Tho safe had been left open, and the pocketbook stolen simply con- (tained notes and shares ina western gold mine, also some State Fawr association stock, The mining shares were worth about $500 and the face value of the notes was £380.

Then the doctor said no more, but began belaboring Mr. Loomis with a_stick of some kind about_the head, striking only around the head. Mr. Loomis stood calmly through it all and offered no resistance. By this time an excited crowd had gathered, and the doctor left the scene and wont imme- diately to the offico of Justico Bdward Oliver, asked Mr. Scott Smith, whom he met on the street, to swear out an affidavit of assault and battery agamst him, which he did; the justice fined the doctor $1 and presumed it settled.

DENIES THE CHICAGO DISPATCHES That Promised Ruptare in the Western Passenger soolation Discassed In eral Languages—~Ohalrman Vroman on Unton Pcific Retrenchment. General Passenger Agent Lomax was visi- bly excited yestorday _morning Over i the telegram in Tus Bee from Chi- cago announcing that the Union Pacific had grown tired of the Western Passenger association and would pull out of that body of silk shirts. When mad Mr. Lomax indulges in explotives of a sonsational character. This was his condi- tion yesterday morning. “That telegraph dispatoh is all rot,” said the usually mild dispositioned ' gen- eral passcngor agent of the Overland route. “Look at the head, ‘May Moan a Big Rato War.’ condition of affairs at all. No such telegram was sont as attributed to me. I'he lines wore never asked to pro-rate the business, simply to add their local rates to rates in effect from the Missouririver. “As for transferring baggage and passen- gors freely from connocting lines to our own, iv is only "done in cases like St. Joe, Sioux City and like stations. We don't do it in Chicago or St. Louis, where the Union Pacific has not a single line of track, onl{ at points where the tickets read over our lines and then a coupon for transfor is attached, “All this tompost ina teapot grew out of the eastern committee of the Western Pas- senger association, so called, refusing to ac- cept our basing rate of $25 first class and $18second oclass from the Missouri river to Pacific coast points. I asked Mr. Caldwell why the eastern committee refused to accopt the basing rate, and if they could con- sistontly do so under the association’s rules. That was all that was sent to dir. Caldwell. ‘We have no intention of leaving the associa- tion,” and Mr. Lomax preceeded to write his name with an indelible lead pencil upon a score of letters with larger flourishes than ever. But Mr. Lomax’s denial to the contrary the Union Pacific feels decidedly sore over the refusal of the Burlington, Rock Island, Milwaukee and Chicago Great Northern to use the basing rate, which ho recently made theselling rate. The contention of these roads has been that it was too low for them to touch but they had no objection to the Union Pacific’s ally, the Northwestern, using it. For a time things went along without much friction but the Union Pacific didn’t get the business it thought iv was entitled to via the Mis- souri river and it sought to broaden its fields by asking the othor lines touching the river %o accept the baswg rate of $25 first Now that is not the class and $18 sccond class. The other roads declined to accept tho rate, o the unutterable disgust of 'Mr. Lomax, who commenced to cast about for a way to get even with his friendly associates in the Western Passon- ger association. And ho has gone about it in tho manner detailed in Tie Ber's Chicago dispateh, B Mr. John Francis of tho Burlington, as- suming that Mr. Lomax wanted to get out of an assoclation which gave him so little comfort, remarked in his quiet way that it was easier to catch flies with molasses than with vinegar. “Mr. Lomax,” said he, “will be better off in_tho associution than out. While the lines decide not to accept the basing rates of the Union_Pacific, they explicitly stated that they had no objection to any line using them that so desired. For our- selves thero is no money in the rate and so we decided o keep out of the whole matter and let Mr. Lomax fight his northern competitor, the Great Northern, as he deemed wisest. Mr. Lomax went to Chicago yesteday after- noou to hold & seance with Mr. Caldwell and incidentally with the mombers of the eastern committee relative to the situation, WILL SUPPORT THE U. P. The Alton Will Give 1t Encouragement in Its Fight Against the Atchison. Cmicago, Aug, 24.—The row between the Union Pacific and the Western Passenger association regarding the former's rates to Montana and Puget Sound boing used for basing purposes bids fair to assume serious proportions. The fact thau the Alton today informed Chatrman Caldwell of the associa- tion that it would support the Union Pacifio in 1ts demands on the Atchison is also strongly in favor of the Union Pacific. Chairman Caldwell remains irm and says the Union Pacific is entitled to no other satisfaction than that obtainable under the association agreement, General Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific will be inthe city tomorrow and he and Chairman Caldwell will endeavor to sevtlo the question without allowing the Union Pacific to withdraw from the associa- tion, as there is now a possibility of its doing. The meoting of transcontinental lines, which was to have been held in this city August 28, has been postponed until Septem- bor 5. The Canadian Pacific has announced that it wiil not be presvnt at tho meoting. It declares_that it had no part in disrupting the tariffs and that those who cut them to pieces must patch them uj Grilevances of Union Paciflo Men. Mr, George Vroman, chairman of the grievance committee of tho Brotherhood of Railway Engineers of the Union Pacific, is in the city to take up several individual com- plaints with Mr. Dickinson and Mr.McConnell Mr. Vroman was at headquarters yesterday morning, and_asked by a roporier whether the officials o the Union Pacific had given notice of the suspension of brotherhood agrecments, said that they had not. *‘Our agreements are somowhat different than agreements on other roads. Here the agreements may be suspended upon reasonable notice l’l"om either party.” ““What would you consider reasonable “:Oh, probably twenty days. But the com- pany has been malking retrenchments in 8o many other directions that I hardly beliove they will consider the question of abrograt- ing contracts. In every department of which 1 know anything the Union Pacific is asking one man to do the work done by two hereto- fore. “As for the train men, they are on a mileage basis, sud conformably to the spirit of such agreements when business is bad their earnings are small, when business is good thewr wages are increased. It would hardly be fair under these cousiderations to roduce the salaries of the men by & suspen- sion of an agreement. We run the same risk as the company. When the company has little business we have little to do. Herein is the foundation stone of our structure. Of course the company has the right 1o lay off men when they are not ueeded, and they have 1aid off 4 great many trainmen temporarily. Yet these men might have been permitted to continue their work, as the company would have had work only for the men now employed, laboring, as thuy do, upon a mile- age basis. “The company has made great reduction: guv. 1 very much question if they will su ce.” The complainants allege that they are com pelled to work too many hours each day and that a greater amount of mauual labor is qgpected of them than it is possible for the human body to endure. The committee has not yet decided upon a date to commence the inyestigation, but it is promised that it will not be long delayed. Pushlog the Work.

It is denied at Union Pacific headquarters that the Union Pacific is in any wise con- nected with the San Pete Valley line alluded to in yesterday's dispatches to Tris Bee. Anoficial of the company stated the road was operated independently of every other road, and fora time had completely abandoned the operation of the line. ‘‘But 1 can see no reason for a reduction in rates,” said he. *“‘Business is about as low now as it can well get, and any attempt to make still lower reductions is suicidal.” ——— What Do Yon Take Medicine for!

The action was taken by tho council in- struoting Mr. Rosewater to select another enginoer and in conjunction with the engi- neers of the Union Pacific and the Burling- ton to mako an examination of the Tenth and Eleventh street wiaducts and report what repairs were necessary; also to asoer- tain the condition of the Sixteenth street structure as to its safety and whether re- coustruction was necessary, Both Mr.Rose- water and Mr. Campbell have made exam- inations and aro ready to report as soon as tho rallway company engineers are, The reports are to be submitted to the council to guide that body in whatever action it may take in causing repairs to bo made or tohave the Sixteenth street viaduot constructed. The Union Pacific and the Burlington com- panies have moved in this matter with the rapidity characteristic of great bodies. The engineers of those companies have either peen very busy or else they have been ab- sent from the city since the council con- cluded that it wanted more expert evidence toshow that the viaducts are not in good repair.

Notwithstanding that the contractors on the main sewors have soveral thousand dol- lars in unpaid cstimates against the city, they are proceoding with their work, with one exception. The failure of the city toput up cash for the estimates, which have been approved and allowed by the proper officials, is due to the fact that thore is no monoy in tho fund. The failure to disposo of the $100,000 in main sewer bonds has left the fund in a deploted condition, whilo the city has under contract about §5,000 of this worlk, with probably $15,000 in unallowed and un’ paid estimates. McDonald & Penfield, the contractors on the big North Omaha 'sewer, are crowding their work. The firm says tho contract will | be completed regardless of whether the city sells the bonas immediatoly or not. J. L. Black is working on the Chicago, Valley and Twenty-first main_sewors. Ho has several thousand dollars in unpaid estimates, which the council intended paying out of the sink- ing fund, but Mayor Bemis’ veto of illegally diverting ono fund to anothor put a stop to such a procedure. Mr. Black is going right ahead and will not ceaso if thore is the least possible show that the city in o reasonable timo will meot his estimates. Reoves & Co. are not working on the Dorcas street exten: sion, although ordered to work in May. Tho ofticials will endeavor to make some provisions to meet the obligations of the city to the main sewer men in case the bonds arenot floated. Just what steps will be taken are not decided upon, but something will undoubtedly bo done. Another Attack on bry Closats. Health Commissicner Somers, in his war- faro upon the dry closet systems in the different school buildings, has made another charge upou the enomy,which 1s represented in the person of the Board of Education. The doctor, backed up by the Board of Health, has hopes of eventually routing the enemy,and he will continue his churges until some one shows the white feather and dis- plays the fiag of truce. Yesterday morning the tbird notice of the same nature was served upon the individual members of the school board. Thke notice cites the fact the that continuance and main- teinance of tho dry closet system in the ‘West Omaha school is a violation of the ordinances of the city, ana that unless the same is removed within ten days that the members of the board will subject them- selves to arrestand flne upon conviction. The first notice served was to abate the nuisance existing at the Kellom school caused by the dry closet system. the second toremove the system from the Saratoga school and the one this morning was the third. ‘The time to comply with the orders of the head of the health department on all of the notices served expires about the samo time. This will make it possible to cause the arrest of the honorable Board of Educa- tion on three separate charges at the same time. This will be done, so say the health ofticials, in case the dry closet system in the school buildings is not abandoned. City Bonds Selling Again. Two more of tho city bonds were disposed of Wednesday. They were in the denomina- tions of $100 each, short time issues, bearing 5 per cent interest. This makes four of the bonds that have been sold by the treasurer at private sale. The names of the purchasers are withheld by the city officials for the reason that the modesty of thoso buying the bonds might be such that they would stand in horror of having their names appear in print, and they might have serious objection to their loyalty to the city in which they live being heralded to the multitudes. ‘The demand for‘the bonds among the resi- dents of this city is not nearly so great as was anticipated it would be.” Only one of the sewer contractors has stated that in case the city is unable to float the bonds that they will be taken ana the contract, which is a big one, comploted. Deputy Comptroller Westberg is proparing a statement showing the bond issues that have been sold since 1889, together with the premiums realized. An issue of city hall bonds in 1890 brought a premium of 8.41, while the park bonds realized & premium of over 6 percont, When this statement is completed it will show fully the value of Omaha paper as a security. Arranglog for an Lnvestigation. The periodical investigation by the eity council will probably take place in a few days. The first step has been taken by the appointment of the committee, which 1is composed of Muuro, Howell and Wheeler This committee will investigate complaints entered regarding those in authority in the street and sewer departments of the city.
