THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, JULY 5, 189 FOURTH IN AND ABOUT OMARA Knights of Labor Take a Delightful Ont- ing at Barpy Mills, GRAND MASTER SOVEREIGN TALKS Pleasant Reunlon of Deat Mutes of Several Btates at Hanscom Park— How the Large Crowd Were Enter- talned at Courtland Bemoh, All factors that have anything to do with the making of a day seemed to have been combined yesterday to furnish a prod- uet satisfactory to everybody. The rain storm of Saturday fixed the thermometer at just the right point and laid the dust down to stay down untll Fourth of July pageantry and procession were over. If at times the sun showed a disposition to overdo matters a little, light clouds were kept close at hand to intervene. The grand Knights of Labor plenic that bad been looked forward to by the local labor organizations and Uhelr friends in Omaha for some time took place yesterday according to program at Sarpy Mills park, where a large number of the workers and their families spent a pleasant day and evening. The first traln with six coaches of plenickers left the Unfon Pacific depot at 10 a. m., and the second train with four conches loaded to the full capacity left for the grounds at 1:30 p. m. Owing to the fact that the Scotch plenickers fafled to get a train out to Blair, the report was spread about the city that all trains were tied up, which prevented many from attending the jabor picnic who were afraid to get very far away from home and depend upon railroad transportation for return. However, those who did attend were evidently well pleased with the sport, and while there seemed to be no particular sport that captured all the sttention of the crowd, the ball game be- tween the cigar makers’ nine and the Knights of Labor was a drawing card. The elgar makers showed the Knights of Labor several points on ball and plainly demon- strated that their team was the better at every stage of the game. A large number of tables were upon the grounds that were used by the pienickers, with their families, at dinner, and they were taken by the early crowd. At 8 o'clock District Master Workman Cohen introduced Rev. Gregory J. Powell, who delivered o very instructing an enter- taining address. “This day,” he said, “is one that Is celebrated by millions of pa- triotic hearts. Well may we be proud with the work of the founders.of our government, and when we are gone, let it be said that wo in our day did our duty as well. Amid the sounds of fireworks today we can hear the cries of distress, as today there is a mighty war raging between capital and labor that must be met and settled some way, and it cannot be settled until the settlement is made in the right way.” The speaker thought that the Knights of Labor were on the right track and compli- mented the organization for its efforts to protest the home and all Its interests. He could see In the principles of the Knights of Labor a ray of hope to the toilers of the world and especlally of the United States. While it was apparently dark and gloomy today, the morrow's sun would clear away tho gloom and the day would be bright. Mr. Powell then gave way to Grand Master Workman Sovereign, who, for more than an hour, discussed the labor question, princi- pally upon up-to-date subjects. The greater part of his speech was a repetition of his address at Council Bluffs Tuesday evening, where he made g0 many friends among the workers. He did not think that he was called upon to speak ghout the glorious fore- fathers and tell of the many sacred battle- ‘flelds, and said that he would leave that part of the Fourth of July oration for some ono_else, who could see more good in a study. of what had pas:ed than in consider- ing what was in the future for laboring people and the whole people. Regarding patriotism, the speaker said simply adoring the flag was not true patriot- {sm, but a true patriot was a man who loved his country and used his best efforts to malke his government even better than when he found it. The work of the men who dumped the tea 4n Boston harbor was described as the work of patriots, still an examination of the rec- ords proved that in Boston today 82 per cent of the families are living in rented houses. He dld not believe that the men who dumped the tea were being as badly oppressed as are the people who live In Boston today. Btatistics were cited to show the condition of the country as a whole, and in various Jocalities and according to the speaker there s great danger of oppression to the danger point, which might cause a revolution. URGED TO AID THE STRIKE. The members of the Knights of Labor sent were urged to do all in their power o aid the A. K. U. In the Pullman strike, and the speaker sald that so far as he was concerned, he would ald the strikers all he could, because he belleved them to be fight- ing for a correct principle. If the strike should be lost labor would take long strides toward harder and more oppressive condi- tions, while if the strike were won labor n all trades would take long strides toward ttering Its condition. The tramp was described as a_cross between poverty and erime and the dude a cross between nobody and nothing. The tramp was a dangerous element and the present system had made tramps by the millions. In order to stop the turning out of tramps upon the public a eheck must be put upon the millionaire @espoiling class. This check could only be laced by the laboring people and he advised hem to use the ballot in their own interest to hold the despoiling class down. The sys- tem which turned out tramps at one end and millionaires at the other was not the system for the middle classes and should be ehanged for one in accord with the demands in_the preamble of the Knights of Labor. In every great struggle between capital and labor, labor had always been on the right #ide, and he hoped the people would fully recognize the fact that peace could not come ermanently by consessions to capital. He enounced the action of the men who Issued the order against Pullman strikers as being rtial to the railroad companies and unfair Elhe men. He had nothing but contempt r a man who would render a legal opinlon that a Pullman car was a part of a malil train. In closing the general master work- man again asked the Knights to stand by thelr fellow workers and predicted that the eause of labor would soon triumph, and that when labor took the reins of government, justice, a regard for the rights of all the ople, would be the aim of the government and the courts would be used against the corporations as freely as they are used mow to help them. He asked it any one ver knew of the government's sending out the army to prevent a large corporation ‘from violating any law that was against their interests, but no one answered. After the speaking the crowd scattered around over the grounds and spent the rest of the day In boating, dancing, races, shoot- Ing and fiving cannon crackers. DEAF MUTE PL 10, Reunlon of the Students from Schools of Nebraska and Adjacent States. fThe soft, green follage, the cool shade and fhe clear, running water of Hanscom park aoted-as a magnet, drawing to its hills and @ells the thousands of persons who were anxious to be far from the sound of explod- fng contion cracker and the Fourth of July distraction of the city. With this object in view, the Omahans who wanted a quiet day and a pleasant outing plunged into this for- est, made beautiful by God, with the finish- {ng touches put on by the handiwork of man, where they remained from the time the sun ohed the zenith until it climbed down hind the western hills. There were fine equipages, spoony lovers, familles and pic- nics galore in the park, but there were no rions thers who were happler than the 00 mutes from Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, who had gathered for the pur- pose of holding thelr first annual picnic and Tounion, Most of them had graduated trom the Nebraska and lowa schools and the moeting with their famlilles was to more Brmly bind the tles of friendship formed lrn they were students in the two schools. fiou lenics were more nolsy and bolster- , but In no spot fn the park was thero 'oi & determination to have a right royal good time as on the high hillock just to the south of the large fountain, Hers the corpulent lunch baskets were deposited and hero the table, which creaked under its load of delfcactes, was spread with tempting feast of snowy bread, cold meats, cakes, pies and other articles of food, all going to make a meal that would tempt the palate of a king. The commitfes, composed of F. Dulany, F. Ward, Willlam Kline, L. Pound and C. E. Comp, was always in the right place and all of the members were vying with each other to make the occasion as pleasant as possible for their guests. When the dinner was spread all fell to and ate with a_relish, but not a word was spoken, although the sign language of the deaf and dumb was brought into use in expressing approval of the surroundings and the event which brought so many mutes into company. With the completion of the dinner, the carrying out of the program was commenced, the Intention being to see a sign oration from Prof. Holloday of the Towa school, but on account of sickness in his family the oration was omitted from the program, sign speeches being delivered by a number of the gentlemen present. Then there were stories told in the sign language, which the audi- ence appreclated by seeing, instead of hear- ing. The patriotic song, ‘“The Star Spangled Banner,” was rendered by Mrs, C. E. Comp in such a delightful manner that she was compelled to sing another song by signs before the spectators who were outside the plenic party would be satisfled. Mrs. Comp is one of the teachers in the Nebraska school and fs considered one of the most efficient mute educators In the country. This closed the literary part of the program and the balance of the afternoon was given over to sports, consisting of running, jumping and athletics, AT COURTLAND BEACH, nment Enough to Give Five Thou- sand People All They Wanted. Probably 5,000 people crowded into the Courtland beach enclosure before the even- ing crowds began to gather. It was the greatest day in the history of this popular pleasure resort and the aftendance fully Justified the efforts that had been made to care for and entertain the visitors. The crowds did not begin to arrive in force until nearly noon, although hundreds of small plenic parties were making themselves at home in the grove long before that hour arrived. The first cars of the afternoon brought the early installments, and from then until 9 o'clock last evening every car was loaded to the footboards. The Union Pacific inaugurated its train service and it proved an efficient aid to the electric lines in handling the crowds. There was an en- tire absence of the crush and inconvenfence that marked the celebration at the beach one year ago yesterday. The people paid but little attention to the regular program. This was impossible, for the large crowd contained thousands of peo- ple, who were out for solid enjoyment. Con- sequently they gave their attention to swim- ming, boat riding and picnicking. The merry-go-rounds and the switchback rail- way were constantly crowded. And yet the stage performances drew their quota of the thousands. The three La Roses gave their laughable Chinese act repeatedly dur- ing the day. Alberti, the European juggler, delighted the crowds, while Press Wakefield made his thrillnig slide for life several times, to the Immense delight of the people, es- peclally the younger one: At 5 o'clock Prof. Barnell made a balloon ascension, which was pronounced the finest ever given at the beach. The balloon aro: to a helght of about 3,000 feet and its course was as straight upward toward the zenith as an arrow would have flown. For a time the local management were apprehensive that the parachute Would descend inside the en- closure and injure some of the people, but when at a height of 2,000 feet a slight cur- rent of air carried the air ship a little to the southwest and the parachute came to earth just outside the enclosure. One of the features of the afternoon was an exhibition of the art of expert swimming by Frau Marinne Liljenstolpe, the lady who has been engaged by the management to give instructions in the art during the season. She is as much at home in the water as if she was born there and her graceful feats excited the.admiration of the hundreds who lined the beach. The crowning feature of the celebration at Courtland, however, was tne display of fire- works which took place from the lake last evealng shortly after 9 o'clock under the personal supervision of Superintendent Crane. For more than an hour the blue dusk was filled with flery cascades, willow trees, re- volving comets, electric showers, cornucopias, prismatic dragons, shooting and changeable stars, diamond chains, with Roman candles and rockets galore. The exhibition pieces consisted of a golden fountain, a fire contor- tionist, artillery bomb shells, a fire balloon, a large set piece bringing out the beauties of the American flag in colors of fire and a magnificent closing plece bearing the legend, ““Good Night.”” Not a casuality was reported ‘during the day. The best of order prevailed, no riotous conduct was reported and the special police in charge had nothing to do but follow the example set by the visitors and enjoy the beautles of the place and the festivities of the day.

Blank Cartridge Takes Out a Lad's Eye— Other Havoo by Explosives, Billy Hewitt, & 14-year-old brother of “Sleepy” Hewitt, destroyed the sight of his right eye yesterday afternoon with a blank cartridge. He was shooting the blanks when one of them refused to go off. He looked down the barrel and it did go off, the wad completely destroying the eye. The little son of John Rosicky, editor of the Pokrok Zapadu, while playing with big firecrackers, was severely burned in the face and it was feared that both eyes were blinded. Dr. Rosewater hopes, however, to save the boy's sight. 4 R. C. Cameron, living at 1223 South Twenty-ninth street, was shot in the left log about 7 o'clock last night by a stray bullet, fired by an unknown person. Mr. Cameron was changing cars at Sixteenth and Locust streets to go to Courtland beach when he heard a shot and a bullet plowed its way through the calt of his leg, making a painful flesh wound. Dr. Hobbs extracted the bullet and Cameron was taken hbme, Henry B.

Paul ticket ofiice, 1604 Farnam street, addry F. A. NASH, General Agent ELECTRIC LICAT MONOPOLY | History of the Fight Made to Enable Wiley to Hold It. SEVERAL CHAPTERS IN JUGGLING Disreputable Mothods Resorted to for the Purpose of Shatting Out Falr Com- potition — Attempt Made to Down the Pardee Bid. In view of the actlon brought by Pardee & Co. ‘for a mandamus to compel the city council to award them the contract for light- ing the strects of Omaha by electricity at their bid of $112 per lamp per annum, it may be interesting to review the electric light controversy, It s stated by members of the council that in December or January last Mr. Wiley, local manager of the New Omaha Thomson- Houston Electric Light company, and Mr. Sirnott, its Chicago manager, held a con- ference with the mayor and the president of the council, in which both of the latter ex- pressed their opinfon very positively to the effect that Mr. Wiley had an exceptionally good contract, considering the quality of light that was being furnished. Mr. Sinnott and Mr. Wiley thereupon suggested that a new contract be entered into for three years from the 1st day of March and proposed to furnish lights at a very great reduction from the $175 pric It was agreed then and there that an advertisement should be Inserted in the official paper calling for bids for lighting the city for three years from the 1st of March, and Mr. Wiley agreed that his bid should not exceed $140 per light per annum and he also agreed that if the contract should be awarded to him for three years he would cancel the $175 contract. In accordance with this informal under- standing and on the theory that nobody else would likely bid, an advertisement was in- serted January 81, calling for sealed bids to be presented February 13 for street lighting for a term of three years from March 1, 1804. Mr. Wiley was quite willing this course should be pursued, as he argued with himself that no other concern could possibly be ready to do street lighting by the 1st of March. Upon the opening of the bids February 13, Mr. Wiley and everybody else was some- what surprised to find a new bidder in the fleld in Pardee & Co., with a bid of §112 per lamp per annum. Mr. Wiley, out of the generosity of his public spirited soul, bid $132 per lamp per annum for the same quality of light. On the 27th of February the committce on electric lights reported recommending that the contract be awarded to Pardee & Co., as the lowest bidder, on condition that within three days Pardee & Co. deliver to the city a bond In the sum of $25,000, conditional that they would enter into and carry out the contract. The report was adopted and_on the 2d of March Par- dee’s bond, with S. D. Mercer as surity, was presented. THEN JUGGLING BEGAN. The juggling commenced at once. Mr. Wiley was outgeneraled up to this point, but he got his second wind and immediately set himself at work to compass the defeat of the new bidder. Rallying his forces in the council he prevented the reading of the bond in the council and had it referred without reading to a high joint committee made up of the committces on judiciary, telegraph, telephone and electric light poles, and gas and electric lights, On this committee are Isaac S. Hascall, Daniel H. Wheeler, William F. Bechel, P. M. Back, Robert Holmes, 'C. L. Thomas, Albert Cahn and John Lemly. The record shows that- Hascall, Wheeler, Bechel, Back and Thomas have persistently fought with Mr. Wiley on everything in con- nection with the electric light bids, except that Back and Thomas signed the original report awarding the contract to Pardee & Co. when they had that report drawn so that they thought Pardee could not furnish the bond within the time spccified. The bond has never been passed upon, but still rests in the hands of this high joint committee. As a part of the policy of the delay a trip to San Francisco was arranged and the electric light business was held up for three weeks by this means. Then the proposed franchise which would enable Par- dee & Co. to come into the city was defeated and Hascall’s omnibus ordinance was brought up and also defeated. The next move on the chess board was to readvertise for bids, and the juggling con- tinued here, for Instead of submitting a formal proposal, which would enable any honest competitor to enter the fleld, the advertisement was purposely drawn in such a way that only Mr. Wiley could meet its absolute and unconditional terms. By the terms of the resolution bids were to be re- celved May 18, but Mr. Wheeler and City Comptroller Oleson, without authority, after the advertisement had been published two days, changed the date to the 22nd of May. Mr. Wiley'’s hand was also shown in_the reductlon of the quantity of ligat for which bids were asked. The Pardee bid was upon 45 volts and 10 amperes, whereas the new bids called for 45 volts and 9.5 amperes. The difference in the quantity of light is & per cont. A further condition was that no bid should be received at a figure above $112 per annum per light. Two bids were asked for, one for the remainder of the year after the expiration of Wiley's contract and the other for three years ‘‘from and after the expiration” of Wiley's contract. Mr. Wiley bid $111.50 per light per annum for the short term. This bid is $5.10 higher than Pardee's bid on the former advertise- ment, taking into account the difference in the quantity of light contracted for. But there were three bids presented for the long term, one at $87.50, one at $95, and Wiley's individual bid at $106. Wiley's contingent was again surprised and more juggling com- menced, resulting finally in the rejection of all the bids for the long term on frivolous and Insincere grounds, but Mr. Wiley was awarded the contract for the remainder of the year and his two fast friends, Wheeler and Edwards, both took the position imme- dlately after the contract was awarded to Wiley for the short term that the awarding of the contract for the short term made it impossible to let the contract for” the long term to anybody else. They showed their hands very plainly in this matter. The re- port rejecting all bids stated that there was good reason to belleve that still better bids could be obtained than those received under the last advertisement. WANT NO READVERTISING. Acting upon this suggestion, Mr. Blsasser immediately offered a resolution to readye tise, which the Wiley councilmen refused to have read under the two-thirds rule. At the next meeting of the council there was more fun over the electric lights, for Pardee & Co. filed a written statement of its position und demanded that the contract be awarded. Hascall, Bechel and Wheeler worked them- selves up to a white heat over this and suc- coeded in having it referred to the high joint committee, which contains five Wiley men and three gentlemen who believe the city's interests should first be considered. But this was not all. Mr. Elsasser again Intro- duced a resolution, drawn in proper terms, directing the comptroller to advertise for bids. With great glee and with very little ceremony the Wiley gang put this innocent resojution_to sleep in the committee of the whole and lald on the table a motion to go into the committee of the whole to consider It, showing conclusively that it is no part of the Wiley scheme to readvertise for bids until about the time when the short term contract explres. The short term contract was awarded to Wiley on two conditlons. The first was that l Wiloy should cancel Lis $176 contract and the opher was that the esuncil should allow Mr. Viley the bills ¥etsd by the mayor. In carrying out its paPt.off the contract the coun- cil passed the eléetrfc light bills over the mayor's veto, bub)tMe mayor has not yet signed the warramt ahd Mr. Wiley has not yot affixed his signeture to the short term contract, althoughv it has been drawn by the city attorney for itws weeks and has been awalting his signaturé, It may be an lllegal contract, at all events; as it does not comply with the terms of: the advertisement and no $600 check was deposited with the comp- troller as evidenes of good falth. If the Pardes mandamus proceedings are success- ful the contract camnot be executed, of course This leads up to the last act, which Is the signing of tho articles of impeachment by Hascall and Wheeler, Mr. Wiley prob ably feels and kfiows that the next cit council, to be elected in November, will not be owned body and soul by him and his as- soclatad corporatiors, and it may be that for this reason he is desperate at this time and will spare nothing to accomplish his several purposes, which are, first, to obtain the money clalmed for electric lighting, and, second, to hold the monopoly of electric lighting for the city of Omaha. Just how long the Thomson-Houston company can afford to maintain Wiley and Wiley methods remains to be seen ———— Uncle Davey ok 0 F A character about town known as “Uncle Davey” got drunk last night and climbed on a pile of lumber in the Chicago Lumber company's yards to sleep off the effects of the liquor. * He rolled off the lumber pile and struck on the hard ground, seriously injuring his back and spine.

Why don't yon 80 to a regular piano store, where they scll nothing but pianos—think of nothing but planos? It seems to me that you would be better satisficd.” ““You must remember, Ellen,” sald her companion, “that in this department is car- ried as large a stock of pianos, organs and musical instruments as can be found in Omaha. It is under the management of a plano man second to none in Nebraska—it is closely looked after to the minutest de- tail, and by paying spot cash for stocks, insfead of taking them on consignment: as s the usual custom, they can sell cheape —yes, much cheaper—than the average dealer, and they only handle the finest grades of pianos. “What grades do they handle?” was asked. “The Chickering”—for which Hayden Bros. are the sole Om: agents—"The Lester,” “the Mathusctek,” “the Behning” and lots of others.” “How much cheaper do they sell than the average dealer?” was the next question. “Ordinarily Hayden Bros. save about $75.00 on each piano bought from them. They buy for spot cash—they have no canvassers —they have no commissions to pay—the rent and expenses are cheaper than in an ordi- nary music store—Hayden Bros. group all their departments—all’ stores within them- selves—under one head—one expense—one management, and the customers reap the benefit."” The last speaker was right. Not only does the customer reap the benefit on plano organs and all kinds of musical Instruments, but every department in the store offers its goods at prices that are never undersold. From a pound of butter to a suit of clothes —from a package of pins to a sult of cham- ber furniture, Hayden Bros. offer the great- est money's worth to be had in Omaha. —_— Cut Your Fuel Bill By getting a Kernan soft coal, smoke-con- suming furnace; also hard coal furnaces, sold by Eagle Cornice Works, 108 to 112 North 11th street, Omalm.

Graham, editor of the Midland and formerly pastor of the First United Presbyterian church, was, with his wife, ten- dered a farewell reception by the congregation at the church Tuesday evening, Mr. Graham being about to remove with his family to Chicago. The church was very prettily decorated with house plants, palms and ferns. Mr. John S. Smith spoke for the congrega- tion and particularly for those who were members during Mr. Graham's pastorate, which extended from 1880 to 1888. Mr. Smith sald that the United Presbyterian church had grown from thirty-seyen mem- bers at Mr. Graham's coming to 500 at the present time, and also spoke of the love which the congregation have for their former pas- tor and assured him that it would last for- ever. Rev. L. E. Hawk, tne present pastor, spoke of Mr. Graham's work as editor of the Midland and sald that Mr. Graham had kept the church of Omaha before the United Presbyterian body all over the land and United Presbyterianism before the people of Omaha., He then presented a very beautiful pair of silver scissors to Mr. Graham as a gift from the congregation. Mrs. Cannon spoke of Mrs. Graham's work in the Woman's Missionary society and ex- pressed sorrow at her leaving. Mrs. Graham responded in a very feeling manner, which showed the love she has for the women of the church and her many triends here. Mr. Graham also responded briefly. Refreshments were then served. et Short Police Stories. Otto Johnson interfered with Officer Tler when he was making an arrest and he was locked up. Charles Parker, Twelfth and Jackson streets, was arrested for making a drunken assault on his wife. K. G. Peterson got drunk and went out to Hanscom park, where he amused himself by insuiting ladies.
