General Officers Favorable to the Plan of Forming Labzr Military Companies. LL DISCUSS THE PROJECT THIS WEEK Sovereign Still Sure that the Fight Against Pullman Wil e Won—Executive Board Gets Started on Its Way— Routine Business Yesterday. General Master Workman James R. Sov- arelgn of the Knights of Labor arrived in Omaha yester and s stopping at the Dellone, where Knights of Labor head- quarters have been temporarily established for the next few days during the present exccutive session of the general officers, Mr. Soverelgn left Chicago Sunds evening and was almost tired out, He says that he spoke at a number of meetings Sunday in Chicago and that tae ,sympathies of the people in Chicago are entirely with the Pullman strikers. When asked regarding the present condition of the strike, he said: “The strike is still on and in full force. The general managers of the railroads are simply whistling to keep up courage. We know just the amount of business they are doing in a general way and they are not handling freight to amount to anything. The unable to get men to take the places of the strikers to handle freight husiness.'” The leaders now in Oma hearty sympathy with President Debs of the A, It. U. and express themselves as being. willing to do all in their power to asgist him in making an able defens are all in Among other things to be considered while in Omaha is the question of form labor military companies, and m the ex preseions made by the m rs of the gen- e board yesterday it s quite probable that an order will be issued asking all members of the order to become members of the state militia in the various states of the union, General Master Workman Sove be Invited to speak in Omaha as soon as the local committce completcs arrange- ment: Mr. Henr B.

It is predicted that if the g pment would foreclose the Union Pacific mortsage the price of railrond stocks would greatly decrease and that this would be the | ginning which would end in the zover ment owning and operating all the rail- roads of the country. That this matter will be considered dur- Ing this session Is a_certainty, but it is not known yet what process will be employed to bring about the foreclosure, ign will WORK OF EXECUTIVE BOARD, Nothing but Reutino Business Under Con- sideration Yeste The members of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor held a ses- sion yesterday afternoon at the Dellone. “Nothing but routine business has come up 8o far,” said Press Committeeman Me- Guire, when asked about the progress made at the first mecting. The members say this I8 their regular quarterly meeting and that outside of the regular busincss of the order, which (s gone over at stated times by the general cflicers, they expect nothing strik- Ingly new to come up for consideration. In the evening the visitors were introduced to a large number of Omaha people, and as all of the gentlemen are pleasant talkers those who met them were highly enter- tained discussing the trials and woes of organized labor and predicting what the outcome would be in the pending contest be- tween Pullman and his employes. Delegate Kenney says that Debs has one of the very best lawyers in the country to de- fend him, and thinks that it is a great in- justice that Debs and his comrades cannot be tried before a jury. Mr. Kenney has not been in Omaba for several weeks, and when asked regarding his trip for the order he sald: “When I left here I went to Louisville, Ky., and in less than two weeks' time there 1 organized seven new local assemblies and reorganized two old assemblies that had gone down from lack of interest in the local meet- ings. In that city the trades unionists and Knights of Labor were not working together in harmony before I went there, but when I called them all together and told them how the two organizations worked togeth harmoniously in the Central Labor union of Omaha their leaders at once set about to bring them closer together tnere, and [ am informed since leaving Loulsville that the organizations now are assisting each other in booming uniom lubels and in various other ways. While there I also was successful in getting a contract with the largest steam laundry in the city to employ none but Knights of Labor girls in the laundry. “From Louisville I went to Chicago, and while there organized nine new assemblios and reorganized four old ones. And let me tell you, Chicago Is going to lead all the clties In organized labor. The knights are now organizing from (wo to three new semblies there every week. From Chicago I went to Milwaukee, and during my stay 1 succeeded in organizing the ice workers into an assembly and reorganized two old locals. “My next place was Bast St. Louis, where I did some good work for order. District assembly has charg of district there and with trict officers we placed two new locals in the district and did considerable among the miners. The members of the mine union there informed us that unless their union went Into politics they would leave the union and go in with the Knights of Labor. When I left East St. Louls I went to Texa and have been pretty well all over that state. While there I attended the state convention of the people’s party and was well pleased to cee such a larmonious and enthusiastic convention, There were a num- ber of ¢Id men in the convention who had been old democratic wheel horses in Texas for years. 1 am of the opinion that the pop- ulists will carry the state of Texas this year, and If they do several of our memb will be clected, ‘as there are several on the ticket. I think the populists of Texas will get anyhow three or four congressmen and Cyclone Davis will be among them. I am glad to notice that our boys in Omaha are gain'ng and hope you will have a good La bor day celebration.”” After a chat around the hotel the visitors called upon some of the local assemblics that were holding meet- ings la't night and were introduced to a number of the Omaha kulghts. They will take up the regular business again this morning. ny. F L Ly A Good Appetits Always accompanies good health, and an ab- nee of appetite is an indication of some- thing wrong.

Father Time has ben kind to Farmer Or- lando Burgess, who resides just outside the corporate limits of the town of Weeping Water, and while Father Time has silvered the head of Farmer Burgess his step is just as elastic and he is as full of vigor as he was long years age, notwithstanding the fact that he has passed the sixticth mile stone in the race for the grave. Bright and carly Sunday morning Farmer Burgess was out among his flocka and herds, scattering the grass and grain to the hun- gry animals, after which he ate a picked up breakfast and slid Into his best suit of clothes and hustled over to the depot, joining the excursion that came to this city. = After reaching here the farmer went out to Court- land beach, down to the park and over Elmwood, being dotermined to see all of the sight hese numerous and extended trips caused Farmer Burgess to miss his train and it was a case where he would have to stay in the city over night, or else walk home, Debating the question in his mind he con- cluded that the walking was bad, besides, in fact, he wanted to stay over night and look at a real city, as It appeared under the glare of gas and electric lights. As darkness came on Farmer Burgess con- ceived the idea that he was young again and that it would be the proper thing to do a ifttle slumming, just for the fun of the thing. While these thoughts of drinking and ca- rousing welled up through his mind, he failed to look over the pages of the past. Right then and there he determined that he would put in a night of it, for he was sure that the Weeping Waterites would never know any- thing of his escapades. Sneaking down a back alley, Farmer Bur- gess was soon within the biack belt of the tenderloin district, and whils everything was strange to him it was apparent that he was to have a warm welcome. Every few steps lie was accosted by some colored female, and invariabiy he was given a cordial Invitation to enter the houses and partake of the hos- pitalities. The farmer from Weeping Water at last formed the opinfon that these p:rsons were extending special privileges, and ac- cordingly he entered a dive presided over by one Mattie Johnson. Mattie was kind- ness Itself and urged the old man to stay and rest, an invitation which, with a smile, he readlly accepted. Finally and at la:t Mr. Burgess suggested that on account of being from the hay ficld he was tired and would like to retire for the night. Sleep closed the eyes of the granger. Dur- ing the night he awoke and happened to think that there was $35 in his trousers pocket. Hopping from the bed he secured this roll, and stufling it into the toe of one of his :hoes he placed the brogan upon a tsble at the head of the bed. The next time that Mr. Burgess opened his eyes the sun was high in the heavens and his dark charmer was gone. Jumping from hls couch he reached for the shoe which had contained the money, pinched the toe, to find nothing but emptiness. Without stop- ping to make an elaborate toilet he rushed to the station, where he 1:id his case before the detectives. A warrant for the arrest of the woman was issued and an officer sent to her residence, there to be informed that during the night she had gone to Council Bluffs and would not return for many days. This information bowed Mr. Burgess down with grief, and with a sad heart yesterday he 1:ft for his rural nome, determined that in the future he will stick to the farm, leaving strange women alone.

A few days ago when I had an attack of colic In the bowels, I took a of Cham- berlain’s ~ Colic, olera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and within ten minutes all of my colic pains had disappearcd.

J0 I Patrick Thrashed for Tnsulting Women and Then Flued in Court. Sunday afternoon J. H. Patrick, a young clerk from South Omaha, came up to the city and at once concluded that he was something of a masher and that he was ir- resistible. Starting out for a stroll on South Fifteenth street he insulted each and every lady that he met, until six had re- sented his indecent proposals. About this time a_stranger who had been watching the proceedings started out after Patrick and as the young man was in the gct of grabbing hold of the arm of another lady this stranger struck him a blow in face, sending him sprawling upon the sidewalk. Patrick wanted to show fight after Le had gained his feet and wiped away the blood which flowed from Lis nose, but a policeman came along and carted him away to jail, where he spent the night in tho coll Yesterday when the case was called Patrick afitmed that there was but one lady ho was assaulted and that he bad mistaken her for a friend. The proof was against the young man and upon convietion he was fined §50 and the costs. i TSNS Oregon Kidnev Tca cures troubles.

Sanburn and Elmer 8. Dundy on the bench, and just handed dowp, provision is made for the con- tinuance of the operation on the part of the receivers of the Union Pacific of the Salina & Southwestern rallway, the Kansas City & Omaha rallway, the Colorado & Pacific rail- road, the Atchison, Jewell county and West- ern railroad and the Kansas Central railroad until the decision by the court of the mat- ters relative to the cperation of these rail- roads, set for hearing on November 15, may be de ermined. The order also includes the continued oper- ation of the Carbon Cut-Off railway and the Omah & Republican Valley railway as out- lined in an interview with Receiver B. El- lery Anderson and published exclusively in The Bee of Friday last. As to the order regarding the discontinu- ance of operation of the Denver, Leadville & Gunnison railway, the court says: “It ap- pears to the satisfaction of this court that the operation of the railroad of the Denver, Leadville & Gunnison Railway company in- volves an expenditure far greater than the revenue which can be derived therefrom, and that it s not expedient or advantageous to the trust confided to the receivers herein that the operation of said railroad should be further continued, and “It is therefore ordered that the sald re- ceivers are hereby authorized and directed to deliver and surrender all the property in their hands of or belonging to the sald Den- ven, Leadville & Gunnison Railway company to ihe American Loan and Trust company, the trustee of the mortgage of Augt 1889, executed by the Denver, Leadvi Gunnison Railway company, or to any re- cever or receivers appointed under any bill which may be filed for the foreclosure of the eaid mortgage, and if no such bill be filed, and the said trustees decline (o ac- cept the surrender and transfer of the suid pr on such surrender be made to the officers of the said railway ender and delivery shall be made on or before the 7th day of August, 1804, and the sald receivers are completely relieved and discharged from all responsibil- ity with respect to the said railway and from all its property, and from any liability or obligations as such recelvers to pay or dis- charge any obligations for pay rolls, wages supply bills or materials, or amounts due to individuals or corporations pertaining to the operation of the said ralload and accruing or to accrue from and after the 7ih day of August, 1594."" PRESIDENT 1V Northern Paclffe Bondholders Advised Not to ie in a Hurry About Keorganizatio NEW YORK, July 23.—President Ives of the Northern Pacific Railroad company has issued a circular letter to holders of the second, third and consolidat:d mortgage bonds, in which he calls attention to the letter issued by the board of directors on March 1, advising a general deposit of se- curities ‘with the Adams-Fitzgerald reor- ganization committee, and remarks that sub- sequent_developments justify the criticisms made thercon. He calls attention to the present impracticability of the preparation of a satisfactory plan of reorganization, sceing that there is no fit basis of reports carnings on which to rest a scheme. While the Adams committee have since enlarged the scope of their efforts, they do not appear to have met success, and are vigorously opposed by a strong comnittee of second mortgage bondholders. Nor have they se- cured the co-operation of the Chicago & Northern Pacific committee, nor of the com- mittee of any branch or leased lines, which altogether represent $07,463,000 of bonds. He claims that =~ while the Adams-Fitzgerald committce deny ' that they represcnt Mr. Viliard, they do not and cannot deny that thelr committce was formed by men who have been for a long time on intimate terms with Mr. Villard. He states there are listed on the stock exchange $177,519,000 bonds and $84,604,131 of stock of the Northern Pacific, all of which must nec- essarlly be more or less afiscted by any re- organization scheme, and of this amount the Adams-Fitzgerald committees has recelved deposits of but $11,694,000. It is certain, thercfore, he claims, as any future event can be, that the committee as at present organ- ized, and working on existing lines, cannot be a successful factor in reorganization, and no reason exists why any committe2 should ask for deposits of bonds without giving an outline of its reorganization plans. DPresident Ives repeats his former recom- mendation to bendholders to retain control of their bonds at prosent and confide them to a committee which is able and willing to indicate its plans, and says no possible harm can come to bondholders by delaying action until_such a commmittee 1s found, which will be done in due time. AYS WALT. Those Side Trips for Sheiners, Considerable talk was indulged in last week by Chicago roads that the Union Pa- cific had agreed to give side trips to Shriners visiting Denver, but after a full investigation by the Western Passenger assoclation the rumor was found to be entirely unwarranted, although the Santa Fe was considerably non- plussed when the report was made, But a letter received by Chairman Cald- well of the Wesiern Passenger association from General Passenger Agent Semple of the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf shows how closely certain western lines are united in controlling business in this direction. Mr. Semple, in writing to Mr. Caldwell, “Iam just in reccipt of a letter dated 10 from Mr. George T. Nicholson, T. A, A. T. & 8. I'. R. R. Co., in which le advises Messrs. Lomax, Hooper and my- self he is in receipt of your circular letter No. 3,806, promulgating two letters from Mr. Lomax, dated July 8. Mr. Nicholson seems to think that action taken by Mr. Lomax in regard to issuing a free side trip to Pueblo or Colorado Springs will cause a reduction In rates between Denver and these two points. The ticke's that will be issucd on lickets reading to Denver via the Union Pa- cific system are special round trip form, sample of which I enclose herewith. The body of the ticket specifies that tickets will not be honored for passage unless accom- panied by original ticket, form and number and issue all being given, and I am unable to see, with this errangement, how any great amount of scalping can be done. How- ever, if Mr. Nicholson thinks he would be justified in making any rates he sees fit from Denver on account of these side trips being given by the Union Pacific company, this is to give notice that this company Will meet any rates made by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad company for meetings of Shriners and wheelmen without further ad- vice to your office,” So effective was this letter that the Santa Fe people decided to leave well enough Jnly alone, for their experler during the Knights Templar conclave in 1592 is not forgotten, although they managed to control a great portion of the business. Santa Fe Will Reduce Wages, TOPEKA, July 23.—Recelver Wilson of the Sarta Fe said today that a retrenchment plan, based on the reduction of wages paid engineers, firemen and conductors, would be put into effect in a few days. The order of United States District Judge Foster, {ssued Saturday, gives the receivers six months' time in which to examine existing contracts and determine whether or not the company should cancel or change any contracts that will permit changes. “The receivers,” sald Mr. Wilson, “will take advantage of this order by giving the required notice of thirty days to their engincers, firemen and con- tors, on the presumption that new con- tracts can mow be made on a basis more favorable to the railroad company.” —— Poreh Climbers Pluche: Mike Moran and Frank Tichnor were ar- rested yesterday, foharged with burglary and porch climbing, .4t being alleged that Sunday night theyientered the Danish hotel at Seventh and Leavenworth streets, from which they stole a suit:of clothes and several other articles.

Three Inspectors Dismissed — Others Re- tal ns Pollee U Striet Rules. The Board of Health held a meeting yes- terday afternoon and disposed of the sery- fces of three of the sanitary inspectors, Thos dismissed were Inspectors Wyman, Waberich and Landergren. In order to get at the .grievous question of reducing the force of inspectors bec of lack of funds, Plumbing Inspector Duncan made a motion to dismiss the whole force, consisting of seven men. The motion prevailed, and then he moved to elect new inspectors as sanitary police. The board then went into executive session, and when it came out Secretary Saville ‘anncunced that Messrs, Taylor, Van- derford, Smith and Albrecht had been elected s policemen, which places them in DU VRt S meRpnaltion Ras ey ormerly occupled. Ch Seavey introduced a series of reso- lutions fo govern the actions of these sani- tary policemen. The men are to wear uni- forms, wear their stars or badges on the outside of their ccats the same as regular officers, are to have speclal police powers, must not visit saloons when on duty unless they ki special business in such places, must not drink intoxicants while on_duty, and above all must not engage in or dis politics in any manner or form. This has heretofore been considered a political job, and all of the Inspectors have taken a mero or less active interest in local politics. ~ All these resolutions were adopted, but before the question was called, Council- man Bruner indulged in a ourth of July burst of cratory regarding the rights and freedom of American citizens, and even went s0 far back as the civil war to establish his claims as a free American citizen. He was of the decided opinfon that the board had no right to insist that the inspectors re- frain from dabbling in politics, and thought such action was curtailing their rights as citizens of this great republic. Mayor Bem Seavey, Saville and McAndrews voted in favor of the passage of the resolutions, and Bruner and Duncan in the negative. A resolutiin to establish additional gar- bage dumps at the intersections of Leaven- wortii street and Poppleton avenue was read, but no action w ken.

The resolution by Councilman Howell that was passed by the city council last Tuesday night looking toward a consolidation of 'the various ~ governmerts in Douglas county was considered by the county commissioners at the meeting yesterday afternoon. Com- missioner Paddock moved that the board signify its concurrence in the action of the council and eppoint the conference committee of three members of the board s contem- plated by the resolution. Williams thought that such action would be premature, as the board had never dis- cussed the matter, and suggested that the resolution lie over until another mecting in order to give the commissioners a chance to consider the proposition more minutely before appointing a committee. This sug- gestion was finelly acted on, and the entire matter was referred until the next meeting. The bill of George Kingston as deputy assessor in the Third ward was not approved, on the recommendation of Chairman Jen- kins of the finance committee. Mr. Jenkins reported that he had found that the gentle- man in question was dead during a part of the time covered by the bill and sick in bed with consumption for the remainder. The judiciary committee presented a re- port on the request of the register of decds for an Increase in the salarles of the clerks in his office. The request was refused except in one instance, where Miss Oliver was al- lowed an increase of $10 per month. County Treasurer Irey asked the board to make some small alterations in his ofiice, as there was not enough room for the amount of work to be done, and the request was re- ferred to the committee on court house and Jails. The county clerk was directed to advor- tise for bids for the construction of a wooden bridge ninety feet long over the Little Pap- pio, south of Irvington, and the board ad- journed until Saturday at 2 p. m. e IDENTIFIED THE FLOATER.

JULY 21, 1894 FOR PRICE OF THE STEAMERS Fire and P.lico Board Reoommends Enit Acainst Water Works Company, VIOLATION OF CONTRACT IS ALLEGED Believes the City Should He Relmbursed for Expense to Prov ire Protectio Which Company ¥alls to Afford Though Stipulated For. At the meeting of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners last night Commls- sloner Strickler introduced a resolution re- questing the city council to instruct the city attorney to begin suit against the works company to recover $19,081.20, has been expended by the city in attempting to provide ample fire protection for the business and residence portions of the city. This resolution cited the fact that owing to the lack of fire pressure the city had been ited by several disastrous fires during the year 1893 and that the board had urged the city authorities to purchase and equip three steam fire engines at a cost of over $19,000. The clty has a contract with the water works company to furnish ample fire protec- tlon within a radius of 1,000 feet from every hydrant. This city pays a rental of $84,000 per year to the water works company for this “purpose, and now it is alleged that this contract has been broken by the water works company, consequenily it is liable for the extra expense to the city for fire protection The resolution was adopted and a copy or- dered sent to the mayor, city attorney and city council. Tn speaking of the resolution, Commissioner Strickler said that he believed that the water works company should be made to stand the cxpenses for the three steamors, for if the company had provided ample fire pro- tection, as is stipulated in the contract with the city, there would have been no need of purchasing the steamers. He also said that it the commissioncrs had not been compelied to buy the steamers they would have had ample funds to pay the firemen this year instcad of being compelled to eut their pay for the remainder of the year. He sald fur- ther, that lie had figures from the city engin- cer and others showing that the whole Omaha water works system could be dupli- cated for about $2,000,000, and the interest on this amount would be less than the city is now paying for hydrant rental, while every family in the city, with city owner- ship of water works, could be furnished with water free of cost at the amount they are now paying for fire protection. Dretective Hudson wes granted leave of absenc Ex-Court Officer Walker sent a letter to the board demanding that it turn over to him all the papirs which it has regarding him. The board presumed that he meant certain evidence which they had in their poseession, upon which his dismissal from the force was based, and they refused to do as requested, On motion of Commissioner Hartman the board adjourned for two weeks, not now having any important business ready for cons sideration, water which ten days A At I ENTERTAINED THE DELEGATES. -Lound Turners §; ensant Day to the convention of the North American Turnerbund and their ladies, to the number of about sixty, ar- rived in Omaha at 10 o'clock Sunday morn- ing.
