Twenty-eight men were jammed into Mayor Johnston's office Friday evening wait- ing for a chance to register as being among those who had worked at the packing houses before the strike, but who were unable to get back now. Their names were taken and a copy was sent to the management of each house giving the mames of those had applied and who had worked in respective house. Yesterday ~Mayor Johnston sent following letter to Manager Cudahy: “Enclosed please find a list of those who have worked in your house, who have called on the city for assistance. They request me to ask you to put them back to work. Can you do s0? The situation is growing worse daily. Please answer by bearer.” The reply sent by Mr. Cudahy follows: “In_reference to memorandum of names sent to me this day would say that we would gladly put all those men to work if we had places for them, but at present all our departments are full, and we cannot sce our way to increase our force at the pres- ent time.” The above is a fair sample of the corre- spondence between the mayor and the mana- gers of the’other houses. It will be seen that no men are being put to work. The live stock receipts have been light, and the houses are all running as near full time for the men they have as they can. Mayor Johnston has done his utmost to assist the men to get work who are out of employment, but he finds now that he is not nearly equal to the emergency. but who that the was as For Selling Liquor on Sunday. John Van Wie filed another complaint in Justice Levy's court which will affect the South Omaha Brewing ccmpany in a way. The complaint alleges that Charles Leisen- ring, who conducts a saloon on Q street, violated the Slocum law by selling liquor on Sunday. It is said that Mr. Jetter owns the Leisepring salcon and that he is practi- cally the man that Van Wie is after. Van Wie was recently bound over to the district court on the charge of selling liquor without a license. He claims that the South Omaha Brewing company agreed to take out the license and afterwards backed out. Has a Vicious Temper.

Mrs. Cora Urqubart Potter and Mr. Kyrle Bellew concluded« their engagement at Boyd's last evening, producing ‘“Charlotte Corday,” a sombre story of the life of that most unfortunate of women, who, had she lived in these times, would have no doubt leader of the Reds and an anarchist of the most pronounced order. Mrs. Potter is overwhelmed in the character of the woman who stirred all France by the assassination of Marat, al- though she may have done the deed for the public good. “In beholding her act of as sassination,”’ says LaMartine, “history dares not applaud, nor yet while contemplating her sublime self devotion can It stigmatize or condemn,” Herein is the keynote for the drama, but the story is not interesting, nefther 15 It natural, and even an actress of Modjeska's abilty could hardly hope to make anything out of so unreal a personage as Charlotte Corday is pictured to us in history, At the matinee “Camille” was the bill, and Mrs. Potter shone splendidly, the Armand of Mr. Bellew being a finished study. In point of fact, “Camille” has not been so well done in years, the company as & whole being far above the average. ARVARARS. Unkonown Man D waed.

The proprietors seem to have gone in to win and have done nothing by halves. They have spent a nice little income upon the renovation of the store and the past week has seen a dozen brush artists decorating the walls of this historic corner. But while all these imorovements were going on the army of clerks were not asleep —in fact, they labored far into the night, making things ready for sterday's grand achievement. Thousands and thousands of dollars’ worth of new goods were opened, marked and piled on the counters in those mammoth perpendicular stacks, such as only the expert clothing salesman knows how to build. The sight was good for sore eyes. The clothing markets have been ransacked far und wide for the very best and the very latest to be had. Every style made by man, every color, every fabric, is now reprosented in this new and probably the largest clothing house west of Chicago. The great run eemed to be on their sack suits at five dollars, which they are put- ting out as an advertisement, being guar- anteed the equals of any fifteen dollar swit ever sold in the west.

For some time past the board h been overflowed with resolutions intro- duced by various members of the council calling for street repairs at various points in their territory. These involved the ex penditure of small amounts in each in- stance, but as election time approaches the czuncilmen are getting into the good graces of their constituents by introducing dezens of these resolutions at each meeting, and the aggregate amounts uwp to a heavy ex- pense. The board has finally determined to put a stop to all expenditures of tlis sort, as is evidenced by the following resolution, which was passed terday: *Resolved, That between September 1, 1894, and January 1, 1805, this biard wiil not incur any expenditure of public money other than that heretofore or hereafter specifi- cally ordered by the mayor and council by ordinance or concurrent resolution, except- ing such as may be absolutely necessary to maintain the sewers in good working order, and also such repairs of strects and alleys as may be absolutely necessary to prevent serlous aceidents and resulting damage suits against the oity.” The only additional business transscted was the passage of the regular pay roll, which was approved with the exception of one item. This was an item in favor of Dom- inick Cosgrove for seventeen days serviee inspecting the paving of the alley between Twenty-second end and Twenty-third and Chicago and Davenport streets. This made the cost of inspection, at $4 a day, $68, and the bill was promptly laid by for investiga- tion. The last five alleys that have been paid cost $34 for inspection altogether, or $14 less than Mr, Cosgrove managed to put in for the single plece of work. ——— “aptain M. W. Day. Captain M. W.

Strenuous efforts are being made by the relatives of Frank Kurtz, recently of Omaha, sentenced to hang in Chicago, October 19, for the murder of his wife, to have the penalty commuted to life imprisonment. Kurtz, on going to Chicago soon after the beginning of the year, began to a wife and child, Mrs. Kurtz promptly hs him placed under bonds to keep the peace. This rendered Kurtz furious, and on his co tinued ill-treatment his wife left him. March 24 he wrote his wife a letter asking her to meet him on the Kinzle street bridge, saying that he would give her §15, and ex regret for the manner in which he abused her. Kurtz also intimated that he hoped their domestic difficulties could be smoothed over, s0 that in the future they would live together. Mrs. Kurtz went to the appointed place only to meet her death When she approached her husband he drew a revolver and shot her three times. Death came Instantly, At the first fire a policeman and the bridge tender rushed toward the murderer, reaching his side just too late to save the woman's life. Kurtz turned his gun and tried to Kill the officer, but the officer's thumb caught the hammer and the cartridge did not explode. Kurtz was tried before Judge Smith, convicted of murder, and sentenced to be hanged on October 1 Miss Mary Kuriz, sister of the condemned man, has been straining every nerve to have her brother's sentence commuted to life im- prisonment. It is sald that she has visited the various members of the jury which found Kurtz guilty and to gt their signatures to a etition for executiv clemene The claim has ben advanced that Kurtz Is par- tially insane and was not responsible for his actions. Miss Kurtz called on Rev. Willlam Clarke, pastor of the Campbell Park Presbyterian church and president of the Society for the Prevention of Crime, and asked him to use his influence in her brother's behalf. Dr. Clarke called at the jail and had an hour's interview with Kurtz. On leaving "Dr. Kurtz said: “From the talk I had with Kurtz 1 am fully convinced that the law should tako its course. He claims that he had an extreme provocation and that Is why he killed his wife. While I am not an in- sanity expert, nor familiar with the symp- toms of incipfent lunacy, 1 think that Kurtz i perfectly sane. I am anxious to do what is right and just, but my judgment is that the law should be carried out and Kurtz made to pay the death penalty.” 150 LOCAL GERMAN AFFAIRS, Xandl Is Content.
