£ djutent Ceneral Will Advise the Governor a8 to the Eituation, Nd REASON FOR EXPECTING DISORDER Hequest of Packing House Managers for Deputy Sherifts L led—-More Employes “4o Out-H # Seeking New Me No Bign of Disturbarce Whatever. Governor Cronnse last evening ordered Ad- Jutant General Gage of the Nebraska X “tional Guards to report at South Omaha at once. This fs not taken to mean that the militia or any portion of it is to be ordered t0 that city unless, in the opinion of the #djutant general, the siuation seems to de- fnand it. It is reported that General Gage will thoroughly post himself with respect o the temper of the striking packing hous guen and give the governor his advice as $0 the necessity of placing state troops there. The packing house manigers appear to Anticipate trouble. The notices served them yesterday afternoon on Sheriff D that'they would expect the county to pro- .Rect their property during the strike were supplemented by numerous appeals by tele- phone and otherwise during the afternoon. he manager of the Omaha Packing company seemed to bs much perturbed and the deputies in the sherif's office b swering his appeals by telephone for ¢ @nce. About the middle of the afternoon the Omaha Packing company wired Chair- man Stenberg of the Beard of County Com- .missioners as follows “We are without o our men and property matter before your b ou call a_speclal n equate protection for and wish to lay the ard immediately. Can ting of your beard at iho Millard hotel at 8 o'clock this evening to meet the South Or packers?” NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. At 4 o'clock Commissioners Livesey and Willlams, with Sheriff Drexel, Deputy Rosen- weig and Judge Scott, held a session in the committee room to discuss the gGuestion Judge Scott stated that the manager of th udahy plant had been to see him in regard to the matter and had asked that twenty- Mive deputies be sent down to protect prop- erty. It was the general opinfon that such action would uot be advisable. Sheriff Drexel said that he had been down to South Omaha @Il day and had scen no Indication of trou- ble. There were no strikers on the streets and those who were seen had declared t “they would be the first to suppress an; thing that lcoked ke violence. Both Livesey and Williams thought that the sending of armed men down there to preserve the peace would be likely to pro- duce the opposite, and it was decided that nothing should be done unless matters grew more serious than at present. Sheriff Drexel was advised to keep track of the situation and left for South Omaha dircctly after the meeting. Acting on the sher'if’s report, it was decided that there was nothing to be ained by the meeting at the Millard hotcl quested by the Omaha Packing company, and it seemed to be the general opinion that the company wes crylng before it was hurt. The situation last night was quiet. So far the strikers have not molested any of the workmen, and they say they do not intend 0 do so. They held meetings in a number of places last evening and insisted that no vi- olence should be offered. In the afternoon committees were ap- inted to go to Chicago, St. Louis, and ansas City to ascertain the exact situation fi the men there. This committee will re- rt to the union here tomorrow by tele- &raph. The managers are now secking for men to take the places of the strikers, and it is understood that they have securéd a num- ‘ber in Scuth Omaha. It is also known that they have sent to Chicago and other cities for men. Last night the police were active. When- ever a bunch of the strikers would get to- ‘gether and_ bogin to discuss the sltuation hey would be dispersed. The men have so far done very little drinking.

The situation in South Omaha yester- Qay was comparatively quiet, although more of the men quit work. At 8:30 o'clock the tierce men at Swift's walked out. They were met on the platform by Manager Fo: ter, who talked with them for a few minute: e asked the men what wages they were etting, and they sald $1.75 a day. “Isn't hat all your scale calls for?” asked Mr. Fos- ter, and the men admitted that it was, He talied a little longer and assured the men he would pay as much as the Chicago . houses were paying, and finally induced the gang to go back (o work. There was a crowd of strikers out on the railroad tracks watching the fellows, and when they started o go back, all the men on the outside began to cry out “scab.” A little later the same tierce gang went out in a body, and hu rledly left the plant. At Hammond's the cellar gang went out after working an hour in the morning. The beef luggers and smoke house gang worked until noon and then walked out. The first of the striking hog butchers to return to work was at the Hammond plant, when two of them went back yesterd At the Omaha house eevrything was as quiet as a graveyard. None of the gangs at work, and the only persons visible about the place were a few special policemen, who Were strolling around the plant, “Some of the men are misled,” said Mr. udahy yesterday, “in regard to eing ‘any trouble’ In Chicago and Kansas City. So far as I can learn there is no trouble with the men in either place. 1 would like very much to have the old men come back, but of course It they will not we cannot help it. You can say in The Beo that the Cudahy plant will be running full force by Mcnday next. If the old men don't agree to come back we will have to (.ll:l II|14'I| lir take their plac that 1s all ere s to it. We are killing 1,000 hogs 800 cattle tod s arang At Hammond's and Swift's a few catfle and hogs were also killed. ' The hog market in South Omaha has been decidedly low for several days and it is breaking the hearts of the kiliers to see all these cheap hogs being shipped to Chicago and the east. Some of the houses have ex- tensive contracts on hand also, which will compel them to begin running a full force in the very near future. The strikers know this and have hopes of winning their points for that reason, but it is now a settled fact that he managers have made all the concessions ! they propose to and after Monday will give \ employment to men who are willing to work rogardless of any of the old forces. PLANNING FOR NEW MEN. ‘The packers have already begun to make arrangements to take care of their men in case new- omes have to be put to work All of them who wish to sleep in the plant Will 'be supplied with cots and their meals vgu be served In the building. ~ This will gbviate any assaults and there will be a rotect the property in case any one becomes arrelsome. 8o far, however, it must be Maid to the credit of the men who walked out, that they have conducted themselves yery orderly and with one or two exceptions there has not even been an arrest made for @runkennes Acting’ Miyor Conley, who has charge of al hog killing department at Cudahy's, has cen about the busiest man In town for the Jast threo days.

K. Eckert, president of the Western Uuion Telegraph Ounipany, says the police department for many years has had a city wire from the main office of the Western Unlon company here for the prompt handling of its own messages, but no other messages are sent over this wire.

Mrs. Van Dusen keeper of a rallroad boarding house in Sacramento, at which Engineer Sam Clark boarded, testified that on the morning of the wreck she asked Mr. Nefll, an A. R U. boarder, If there really was any danger to any one going out on A train that morn ing. She told Neill she was anxious about Clark. In answer to a question, she told Neill she would see Clark again and Neill sald: “Whoever goes out on that engine will never reach Davisville. Warn him in my name not to go; if he goes you will never see him again.” Mrs, Van Dusen saw Clark and pleaded with him not to go. He was obdurate, how over, and was one of the five men who 1 death at the trestle.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—The Pullman were started today quictly and without demonstration on the part of the ex-em- ployes. But 250 men reported for work, al- though the company expected 800. About 1,000 strikers gathered about the buildings and_ good uredly chaffed the returning workmen, but no attempt at violence was made.

John M. Thurston was to have addressed the members of the Hamilton club at Patter- son's hall last evening and a large attend- ance the result of the announcement; but a pressing call from the west made it necessary for him to leave the city at the t moment. The club was called to order T. W. Blackburn and in the absence of the regular officers, Judge Stenberg presided. W. A. Fostel had made temporary secretary, read the following extract from a letter from John M .Thurston ““Our country is passing through the most serious crisis which has experienced war of the rebellion and it s a all patriotic, thoughtful and abiding citizens should consuft together the purpose of ascortaining the best way to preserve our institutions, renew our prosperity and promote the interests of the great masses of laboring men who are now suffering from the democratic policy and astination.” In the ahsence of the speaker of the even- ing Mr. Johnson addressed the members of the club, giving an eloquent and vivid recital ¢ the condition of the country under the present democratic administration. Mr. Johnson called attention to the flat- tering promises made in the democratic platform in 1892 and alluded to the fact that the laboring men had been deceived by these pledges into elevating the democratic party into power. Since the success of the demo- cratic party in 1892 scores of railroads had been thrown into the hands of receivers, busi- ness houses had been closed in every city, town and village in the country, thousands of banks had been closed, thousands of manu- facturing establishments had been closed and hundreds of thousands of laboring men thrown out of employment, and even with this distressing condition of affairs the labor- ing men were wondering what was to come next. The laboring men who rolled up the 10,000 democratic majority in Chicago and_the immense maforities for Cleveland in New ork, Boston and otlicr large cities were largely to blame for the present condition of industry in the United States. In the democratic platform of 1802 two planks, either one of which was ciently pernicious to preduce the present condition of affairs in this country. One was the plank promising the immediate repeal of the law imposing a 10 per cent tax on state bank notes. The repeal of this tax would have permitted forty-four states to overwhelm the country with a flood of wild- cat currency. That plank alone had a tend- ency to cause banks and manufacturing in- stitutions to hesitate. The other plank de- clared a protective tariff to be uncon- stitutional. It was this plank that compelled business interests all over the country to stop and think. The democratic party, false {o the country, had been equally false to itself. Tts pledges, pernicious as they were, had not been ful- filled. The McKinley law, which the demo- crats had denounced as unconstitutional, was still on the statute books and the Aldrich report, signed by two democratic senators, established the fact that wages had increased and prices of the manufactured product had decreased under that law. Mr. Johnson be- lleved that it the McKinley law had not been threatened by a democratic president and a democratic congress the country would be more prosperous today, more mines would be in operation, railroads would be in a better condition, banks would not be break~ ing and mercantile establishments would not be closing in every city in the United States. If the democratic congress would go home and stay there business would at once brighten and the dark clouds which obscured industrial activity would roll away and pros- perity again return. He believed it was the duty of the Hamilton club to make every cffort between now and the November clections to convince the laboring men of Omaha that they could not hope to be pros- perous so long as they voted for free trade or_for lower tariffs. Mr. Fisher of the Ninth ward delivered a five-minute speech which proved a veritable entertainment and in conclusion he gave a rendition of Congressman Bryan’s last specch on the silver question in Exposition hall. Mr. Fisher happens to be deaf and all he could hear of Bryan's flery eloguence was a confused jumble which resembled a mon- otonous recltal of the alphabet. And then Mr. Fisher convulsed the audience by re- producing with startling accuracy, the voice, gestures and oratorical flight of the Nebraska congressman. Mr. White gave some excellent reasons for the republicanism that was in him. One of his auditors endeavored to draw him into a discussion of railroad interference in politics, but he extricated himself so neatly that the audience approved and applauded. The Swedish Singing society rendered several selections with the manifest approval of the audience and T. W. Blackburn told a funny story. J. H. Kyner closed the even- g with @ speech In which he ascribed the business stagnation to the accession of the democratic party to power. Not only was business suspended, but nature herself was in revolt. Fires were destroying the cities and forests of Minnesota and Wisconsin, water was destroying homes and farms in Oregon, earthquakes were knocking things to the devil and gone in California and here in Nebraska even the rain refused to fall, was to who been been the in which since time proci were, sufli- Elected Officers, The Eighth Ward Republican club held a rousing meeting at the corner of Twenty- second and Cuming streets last night and clected officers for the.ensuing year. This Is one of the wards which have been redistricted and there was quite a friendly contest between the districts in the election of officers. Messrs. J. W. Furnas, U. H. Balcombe and Dr. S. K. Spaulding were nominated for the office of president and it required five ballots to settle the majority. Dr. Spaulding’was the successtul candidate, the contest having narrowed down to him and Balcombe after the fourth ballot, as Furnas, who was slowly losing, withdrew. U. B. Balcombe was elected first yice presi- dent and . Thomas 8. Crocker. second vice president. James Allen wag elected secretary by acclamation, as was George R, Rathburn to the office of treasurer. The newly elected president:took the chair and thanked the members of the club for his election, He announced that he would name the different committees at the next regular meeting. It was decided that all candidates for dele- gates to the county convention this manth shall file petitions and the motion to not hold a caucus was almost unanimously car- ried.

The success of the last tournament leads the committee to feel that this will be one of the largest meetings the association has ever held. Entries can be made-at the association office. Details of the tournament will be published later. The ‘bicycle club had a jubilee round-up at the park Tuesduy evening. .Track riding, {mpromptu racing, ctc., was the order of the evening, and with the adjuncts of hot coffee, watermelon, etc., was thoroughiy enjoyed. Friday evening all the wheelmen of the association are invited to meet at the build- ing. Plans for the fall tours, including the long run to Lake Okoboji, will be made. This run is planned to start on the morning of September 4 and to make the 200 miles in something like three days. It will not be by any means a road race, but a comfortable run, which men who are in falr condition can’ easily make without excessive fatigue. Camp will be held at the lake for six days. Mr. Alfred Preston has charge of these ar- rangements, and if a sufficient number de- termine to go he will arrange for tents, a good service for meals at very reasonable figures, and will place his fine sail boats and himself at the disposal of the camp for some delightful salling on the lake. Mr. Preston has gone over the road several times and will probably aet as guide to the party. Those desiring to make this run should leave their names at the assoclation office and should practice .for it. News comes from. the camp at West Point that the second party of campers are having a rare good time. Swimming, boating, fish- ing and kindred sports while away the days, and late in the evening the camp fire is kept blazing in front of the temts. The small boys who went with the first party drop into the assoclation building and score the increase in weight which they made while away, and speak in glowing terms of the enjoyment of the trip. A reunion of the lads will'be held at Secretary Ober's house at some time in the near future. Three good boats have been purchased for the camp, which, with those furnished through the courtesy ol the Young Men's club of West Point, makes six good boats at the disposal of the party. The last party, to be composed of men of 20 years and upwards, will go into camp August 6. Already a good number have signified their intention of going, and a most enjoyable time is antici- pated. Members of the assoclation and their friends may take advantage of this oppor- tunity for a summer outing at a very small cost. Dr. Duryea's class in political economy will meet’ Friday evening. The class Is holding a remarkable attendance for sum- mer weather.

He has directed that Major Worth, the officer who gave the order for the practice in violation of the president's proclamation, shall be courtmartialed for disobedience.

GEORGE D. RUGGLES, Adjt. Gen'l Attorney V. O. Strickier, wno defended Cedarquist, was seen by a Bee reporter yes- terday afternoon and he said: “Cedarquist re fused to obey his superior officer because by so doing he would be violating one of our imgelf.

Then students were ordered to observe the Sabbath in military schools, and the same rule applied to prisoners working in government prisons. “Major Worth's order was clearly in_ vio- lation of section 241 of the statutes and he is liable to prosecution under civil proc for violating laws of Nebraska. This rifle range is on private property subject to state law and I have shown that Major Worth gave the orders to conclude target practice on Sunday in order that he might join a hunt- ing party bound for Wyoming that evening This matter will now have a complete inves tigation, and as Worth pursued Cedarquist with vindictiveness he will have to suffer for these violations himself.” e o To Cleanse the System.

The council will simply attend in a body and present its tribute of esteem in the shape of a floral offering, which will simply bear the words, “Our Clerk.” Presi- dent Howell and Councilmen Burkley, Wheeler, Saunders and Cahn were appointed as a committee to attend to the provision of flowers and carriages, and the deputy clerk was directed to invite all heads of city departments to go with the council to the funeral. The carriages will leave the city hall at 2:45 sharp tomorrow afternoon. The vacancy in the office of city clerk will resurrect the fight that accompanied the expressed intention of Councilman El- sasser to resign some time ago. According to section 16 of the charter the mayor and council have the power to fill all vacancies in the council, and other elective offices of the city. The manner in which this shall be accomplished is not detailed in the char- ter, but is left to be fixed by ordinance. At the time when the question of filling Mr. Elsasser's shoes was under considera- tion City Attorney Connell drew up an or-- dinance which provided that the office should be filled by appointment of the mayor with the approval of the council. This ordinance was referred to the judiciary committee, who refused to recommend it for passage, taking the ground that the council had the power to Il the vacancy without consult- ing the mayor. The consequence that no ordinance was passed, and Elsasser finally concluding to retain’ his seat, the matter was dropped. "he democratic councilmen state that they will repeat the same tactics on this occasion. Their plan ‘as it now stands is to pass the ordinance providing for the appointment as required by the charter, and then defeat any appointment which the mayor may make. Theéy claim that they have ten votes, in- cluding Hascall, who will yote solidly to- gether, and in this manner they expict to retaln the present personnel of the office. They expect that Deputy Clerk Evans, who Is now acting city clerk, will continue to perform the dutfes of the office until a suc- cessor to Mr. Wakeley is appointed and con- firmed, and according to their prosram, this will not occur during the present adminis- tration, in noon the funeral.

Compare this charming bit of French Art with the horrible and cumbrous creations in horsehair with ‘“aquab” seat and garden vollers for pillows. You will realize then whay progress has been made in the last few years. nfidante’ is the protty name given to this small sofa by its French ances- R T ot story. It is intended as a seat for two persons in retived or semi-private conversation. Such a plece of furniture is surely need ed in every drawing-room. With these Confidantes we are sup- plying a Lady’s Easy Chair and Gentle- man's Avm Chalr, making a dainty set of three picces, The chairs are of dif- ferent si but each is constructed on the same lines as tho sofa, having the back aud sides in a semi-circle. Tl design is full of beauty. Nothing could be more graceful than the long sweep of the back with the curved le, and side arms. We price the whole set at the cost of an ordinary stuffed sofa.
