Some days ago the property owners rep- resenting a majority of the street front- age petitioned for asphalt, and it was sup- posed that the matter had been settled, but later on a brother of Councilman Bruner ap- peared on the scene with a brick petition, and by misrepresenting the facts induced some of the persons who had first signed for asphalt to withdraw their names and sign for brick. In order to do this, it Is stated that Bruner wrotg the names of J, H. Kyner and J. J. Brown, two of the heavi- est property owners, on his petition, and then going to the single lot owners showed this petition, felling them that the street was sure to be paved with brick, and that the best thing for them to do was to be on he winning side. In this way he managed to secure a small fraction of the frontage, but yesterday he got a severe setback. In mak- Ing his rounds he called at one house where tke property is owned by a widow. The lady did not happen to be at home when he called, but finding a young daughter, the advocate of brick induced her to sign her mother's name to the brick petition, desig- nating brick as the material which the owner preferred. When the mother returned and discovered the fraud which Bruner had perpetrated she went at once to the eity clerk’s office, withdrew her name from the brick petition and filed a lengthy aMdavit, detailing the manner in which Bruner had worked his game. o~ ‘uneral of F k Hull The remains of Frank Hull arrived trom Norfolk at § o'clock yesterday after- noon and were taken direct from the train at the Webster street depot to Prospect Hill, where the intermept was iade, Frank Hull was for a number of years the head clerk at the Paxton hotel In this city, leaving a year or 50 ago to take charg of a hotel at Norfolk.

The costumes so far this season on the sands at Courtland are characterized by extreme simplicity as compared with those of last season, hut promises of novel costumes are heard of daily. The Knights of Pythias plenic which was booked for Friday last was postponed, as the majority of the members of the lodge were Fort Omaha people who had received instructions to be in readiness to go to the front at a moment's notice. A. P. Tukey “dipped” on Friday evening for the first time this season. He declared the beach as fine as ever and said it equaled old Ocean Grove, where he spends part of ach summer. “it has as fine a sand bot- tom and beach as I was ever on,” were the exact words uttered by Mr. Tukey to a Bee man.

POPULISTS AND STRIKERS Sympathy with Amesican Railway Union Expressed at Peaple's Party Rally, CRIES OF "'READY' TO QUIT" IF CALLED Cloveland ¥ with I ounced for Invading Ilinols Troops—Third Party Expounded by Dr. Abbott nnd Slins Robbins. Federal petring Third partylsm was on top last night, and, as a result, Washington hall was com- fortably filled with women, who turned out to hear populist doetrine Dr. Abbott of Fremont. The meeting was called to order by H. M. Tichenor of the eity central committee. Referring briefly to the labor troubles, ho introduced Dr. Abbott, who talked for an hour upon political questions of the times. The populist party was described as the real party of the people. The speaker pointed to the platform as evidence that the new party would not tolerate religious prejudices, as the religious fight was ralsed for no other purpose but to detract the attention of the voters from the real Issues before the peo ple and let the usurers and grasping monop- olies further extort from the bread winners The populists desired that the tarift be so adjusted that not one cent would be collected from the people except what is needed for the government, economically and judiciously expended The new men and from party was a protest against the convictions now prevalent and demanded that the capitalists be compelled to arbi- trate their troubles with the working people. In a brief reference to the French revolu tion he pictured what might oceur in the United States unless the men in power should fully grasp the situation and change the condition now before it too late. The government was now directed by large corporations, instead of friends of the peo- ple, and until there was a change the pres- ent condition would continue to exist. The only relief that could come would have to come through good and wholesome laws enacted by the people's representatives, and he could see no way to get good law makers unless they were elected as members of the people’s party. If placed in power they would enact laws for arbitration so that such strikes as are now going on could not occur. The mints of the United States would be opened to silver tne same as gold and the miners would thereby be put to work. The men so put to work would buy from the manufacturers, which would start the wheels moving and give needed employ- ment o factory labor. The government would then be ‘the protector of the people as well as the protector of property. The populists had not taken any particular stand upon the tarift question, but he was certain that free raw materials would be a great benefit to the people. He dealt in a sarcastic way with the past old party legislatures that had elected United States senators to represent Nebraska, and de- clared that the people had no show what- ever with the corporations. CHEERS FOR SENATOR ALLE He was proud of the action of populist legislators, who, with the help of democrats, had elected Senator Allen, a true representa- tive of the people. At the mention of Sen- ator Allen’s name the audience gave round after round of applause. His reference to the per capita circulation theory was also roundly applauded. John Sherman, he said, was opposed to the per capita of $50, and John Sherman -had acquired a fortune of $15,000,000 working for the government at §5,000 per year. The theory that the United States should have an international mon tary agreement was denounced as un- patriotic and unreasonable, and as sup- ported by none except the misguided or cun- ning who know not what.they do. The speaker could see great danger to the country from the wicked acts of the people's misrepresen- tatives, and made an earnest plea to the au- dience to work and vote for the populist party to save the country from the calami- ties now confronting it. The question of the perpetuation of a republican form of govern- ment was one of the burning questions of this day, as well as days past. The govern- nlent was on trial and it was the people’s duty as good citizens to come to the rescue. The state of Nebraska, he declared, is now areatly in need of good, honest state of- ficers, such as the convention will nominate at Grand Island on August 24 next, and if the voters would sanction the action of the Grand Island convention the books of the state would be opened and the taxpayers could then see W had become of the money they had been paying to the state. The populists would make a hard campaign and men with a righteous cause knew no such word as fail. When Dr. Abbot con- cluded the audience cheered and showed their approval of his address throughout. ‘READY TO QUIT.” Mr. Tichenor then announced the latest news from Chicago and declared that if Debs should call out the workers all over the country the Omaha men should not be found in the rear. This declaration was cheered for several minutes and several voices shouted, “We are ready to quit.”’ After the crowd settled down again the chairman in- troduced Mr. Silas Robbins, who talked about twenty minutes upon the questions advocated by the people's party. Mr. Rob- bins denounced the advocates of an interna- tlonal monetary agreement as being insin- cere and said that ‘all lovers of peace and good government should join the populists in thelr effort to provide a sufficient supply of money. He could see great need of a party such as the people’s party s, and had confidence that if the party was placed in power it would live up to its pledges, as it had done so far in Nebraska. In this connection he said that when the party elected the Nebraska legislature it passed the Australian ballot law in accord- ance with the party pledges, which was a more wholesome law than had been passed by the republicans for years. The populists also passed a law regarding the deposits of state moneys which the republican state officlals refused to obey. This law was cal- culated to save the taxpayers of Nebraska thousands of dollars every year. The state school fund would increase under this law and would some day be a_monument to peo- ple's party legislation. The speaker closed amid applause, making an earnest appeal to the voters to stand by the people’s party. The following resolution was then passed unanimously: Resolyed, That we, eltizens of Omaha, as- sembled on the Tth day of July, 1894, do emphatically condemn the autocratic action of the president of the United States in prostituting the rlghts of the states of this union by invading them with United States soldiers in a time of peace. Resolved, That this meeting extends its most hearty sympathy to the rallroad strikers now endeavoring to obtain justice, and upholds them dn the lawful behavior they have maintained in the pressure of tyranny and outrages. er——— Courtland Beach 45 the place to go to enjoy the fresh air and a/bath. —————- Business Fallure For the six months ending with the first day of July there were 102 business fallures in Nebraska, according to Bradstreet's, Dur- ing the corresponding period in 1893 the number was 122, 1dn the matter of labill- ties there has been a great change, the fig- ures for 1893 being $2,988,405, as against $1,218,125 for 1894, This would go to show ' that there have been few large faflures dur- Ing the past six months as compared with the. first six months of 1803, When the groups of states are considered it is of in- terest to note that in New Englang, as else where, there have been more busincss fail ures than {n the first half of last year, al though the liabilities have shrunk 70 per cent.

To- day the Scandinavian Glee club will pienic there. For next Sunday the park has been engaged for an entertainment by the Danish Brotherhood lodge of South Omaha. The Plattsdeutsche Folksfest, an annual event with every Plattsdeutsche in the coun- try, which Is always attended by thousands of people, is slated to be held there July 22 This year's occasion will witness games and amusements lore, including shooting matches, ring riding, bowling alley contests One Annoy e, lodges vorite dancing, egg races for ladies, children's games, catching the pig and fire- waorks. There are to be several prizes in every contest. Music loving citi- zens will be entertained during the day by two full bands. The iety will march from Germania hall at 1 o'clock in the after- noon of t day to the Webster street depot, where sufficient train accommodations have been made to convey the party to Ruse A second train s scheduled to leave Omaha again at 3 o'clock p. m. Re- turn trips will be made at 8 and 11:40 in the evening. The arrangements committee | now busily engaged in perfecting all the de- tails for the outing. The last plenic of the month will be held on the grounds of the Bavarian verein. If similar events in the history of the soclety are any criterion, this entertainment will be well attended and enjoyable to all its mem- bers and friends. Rehearsing for Suengerfest. The leading singing socteties of the city, Saengerbund, Liederkranz and Swiss vereins, are now rehearsing weekly for the Nebraska saengerfest, which is to take place in Co- lumbus, Neb., in the month of August. Omaha, at least, promises to have a full attendance at the time. Some of the vocal selections designed for rendition by the un‘ted singers In choir enmasse,which have been for- warded here, are proncunced quite difficult. The local societies will probably be enabled to render them in an acceptable manner, but whether some of the smaller societies from Nebraska towns can cope with the task might remain a subject of some doubt, since time and material, coupled with a higher course of training, may be lacking. However, time will tell, and it must be taken for granted that all things have re- ceived due consideration at the hands of the able leader of the fest, Mr. Emil Pohl of Columubus. These selections embrace “DleGeisterschlacht” and “Am Altar der Wahrheit,” by Herman Mohr. Judgirg from the interest manifested in local singing circles the fest will be a success and a great treat for music loving people. Improving their Alm. The Schuctzenverein has divested itself to some extent of the lethargy which ha held possession of the society since the last national shooting tournament. A number of the shooters, among them Fred Fuller, F. Mengedoht and Frank Heft, are now practicing regularly on shooting days for a tournament by the local society. The date for this has not been fixed, but mem- bers say that it will probably be held either in August or September of this year. Al German Gossip. Willlam Mack, who changed urban for a rustic life near South Bend, was.in the city last week shaking hands with his num- erous friends. Brick and stone and beauti ful architectural designs In mansions have been displaced in Mr. Mack's heart by bovines, corn and rural scenes, in which he now delights. Owing to the chaotic condition and the uncertainty of railway trains reaching their points of destination the national convention of the North American Turnerbund, which was to be held in Denver today was post- poned until the trouble should subside. The eastern delegates to this meeting did there- fore not arrive here last Friday as was ex- pected. Joseph Percival, district organizer, under whose supervision the Bohemian western sokols stands, has organized a new athletic club at Milligan, Neb. The Schweizer Gesangverein has arranged to give a picnic next Sunday at Frahm's park. The soclety has the reputation of knowing how to entertain its friends. Amateur theatricals and vocal selections will serve to entertain members and friends of the Liederkranz at Kessler's hall on July 15, —_——— Visit Courtland beach Sunday. A8 TO THE STRIKE. OMAHA, July 7.—To the Editor of The Bee: You have so well covered the causes and the remedy of the present labor trou- in your editor erday that o Is scarcely ne further. From my poiut of view, the present strike was needless, had elther Pullman consid- ered arbitration or the railroad manuge discontiniied using Pullman cars. 1 ‘un- derstand that it will be argued that to discontinue them would be (o submit to dictation. BEven this would be better than a strike so disastrous and far-reaching us the present. I also know it s claimed thut the general managers are acting for the sake of a principle. This may be true, but who can recall in_the history of all' the dealings between the public and railwa: an instance where the railway manag ments gave any evidence of an inspiring principle? My way of avolding the strike would have been similar to that adopted by the United States authorities In the Virginius affalr, they having sunk the Virginius at sea in order to avold & war with Spain. Thus might the rallway managers have treated the Pullman cars. It would hay been economy, and have well served their patrons and the public, and have done Riemselves honor nd made a reputation for strgtegy and diplomacy scarce equaled. . 8.
